FW man brutally assaults cab driver Mirror staff reports
A Federal Way man faces a hate crime charge after the savage beating of a Sikh cab driver. The alleged assault took place at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 17 in the 1200 block of SW 301st Street in Federal Way. Police responded to reports of a fight between an intoxicated male suspect and a cab driver. Two witnesses described the attack as savage, according to a Federal Way police report. Jaime W. Larson, 48, has been charged with third-degree assault as well as felony malicious harassment under the state’s hate crime law. On Oct. 17, Auburn police had asked the cab driver to take Larson to an address in Federal Way because he was too intoxicated to walk or drive. The cab driver said Larson began commenting on the turban he wore as part of his Sikhism religion. Larson began assaulting the cab driver and making comments regarding his religion and ethnicity, according to the report. Larson punched the cab driver repeatedly in the body and face, and caused one of his teeth to become loose, according to the report. The suspect ripped part of the cab driver’s beard off his face. The piece of beard was [ more ASSAULT, p. 14 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.
Project targets traffic at intersection By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
An upcoming road construction project is expected to reduce congestion at 21st Avenue SW and SW 336th Street in Federal Way. The project will install a light
at the troubled intersection, and allow for two left turns from both directions. The project will also add a right turn for westbound and northbound commuters. Brian Roberts, street systems project engineer for the city, explained the need for the project and
how the city hopes to make a busy and hazard-filled intersection safer for all. “The intersection at 21st and 336th experiences severe congestion during the morning and evening commute peaks,” Roberts said at an open house Oct. 30 at
City Hall. “This project will essentially alleviate that. Currently those movements tend to choke up the intersection. There are more left turning vehicles today than can fit in the existing turn pockets.” [ more TRAFFIC, p. 23 ]

Wildlife agents hunt beavers to stop flooding on S. 373rd St. By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
State wildlife agents are hunting beavers in Federal Way over concerns of flooding on South 373rd Street. The rising water levels in the Hylebos Creek, as caused by beaver dams, pose a threat to the road’s infrastructure and the safety of drivers. Three beavers were trapped and euthanized last week at the Federal Way site, with one more beaver at large, said Matt Cleland, district supervisor for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Wildlife Services. Wildlife agents catch the
beavers with body-grip traps, also known as Conibear traps. A beaver will die within minutes after the baited trap springs shut. The state Department of Transportation, which owns the site, was contacted by the City of Federal Way and the Puyallup tribe to address the flooding. In 2007, the Spring Valley Restoration Project was intended to control flooding on South 373rd Street and expand the spawning grounds for salmon. WSDOT built a bridge and rerouted the creek through a culvert. Friends of the Hylebos, a local conservation group, helped plant trees and vegetation at the site. [ more BEAVERS, p. 23 ]
Beavers are the largest rodents in North America. Adults weigh an average of 40 pounds and measure more than 3 feet long, including the tail. COURTESY PHOTO
On a morning in May 2005, a thirdgrade student named Anastasia donned her pink and blue uniform and walked to school. Her mother had died that morning, following the death of her father earlier. She found loving care, food, clothing, shelter and education at Crossroads Springs Institute, a school and orphan center in Hamisi, Kenya. Anastasia spoke, and the students from the Federal Way Public Academy listened. Their aim was to build bridges of understanding through work projects for children who are at a crossroads in their lives. They believed there were springs of hope if they were energetic and decisive in their planning. Today, we can hear the sounds of trowels slapping mortar between bricks, and African drums beating rhythms for children’s feet, because Federal Way Public Academy students have opened their hearts to the HIV/AIDS orphans of Crossroads Springs. The Academy became aware of Hamisi (located in the Western province of Kenya next to Uganda, 20 miles from Kisumo) by the grandparents of two of its students. They had helped build the school and knew that the children whose parents had died of AIDS were struggling to get food, take care of younger siblings, and stay in school. Crossroads Springs was founded in 2004 by Dr. R. Meshack Isiaho, who took an unfinished brick building, originally intended as a tourist hotel, and built a school that now houses and serves 350 children from early childhood development to the eighth grade. Students consistently score first in the district and region on national exams, earning awards, school trophies, and acceptance in boarding schools for grades [ more KENYA, p. 13 ]

You know Communities In Schools of Federal Way as an organization that supports students that are at risk of dropping out of school. One of the schools we work in is Federal Way High School. We have a full time School Outreach Coordinator who works in the school. We also place volunteers who give their time to support students at school. And you know what? It’s a dreadful building. We know because we are there every day. Not one adult I know would like to work in that type of work space. Ceiling panels are falling down. The roof leaks. The heating system doesn’t work properly. I don’t know about you, but I can’t concentrate when I am cold. The other day I was there when students were changing classes and it was unbelievable how crowded the hallways were. Since the building was originally built as an elementary school 74 years ago, it’s hardly suitable for 1,600 high school students today. OK, so it’s a terrible building, but it’s more than that. It puts the students who attend there at an academic disadvantage. Studies about student academic achievement and building condition conclude that the quality of the physical environment significantly affects student achievement. “There is sufficient research to state without equivocation that the building in which students spends a good deal of their time learning does in fact influence how well they learn.” (Earthman, G 2004:18). The majority of the students we support have many other barriers to learning. Having a poor learning environment is just one more hurdle that they have to overcome to be successful enough to decide to stay in school. The other thing that really bothers me is the mixed message we are sending our kids. We say “Education is important. Kids are our future.” We expect our students to go to school, concentrate and learn. Then we send them to a school that is falling down, doesn’t have current technology because the building can’t support it, and has 49 entrances - which makes it unsafe. It’s a negative message that really tells them they are not valued. Telling our students one thing, then not backing it up by offering a decent facility is a completely different message that they receive. It’s time we fix this very real problem. If the levy passes, students will have a modern, safe place to go to school and learn. Studies show that quality [ more OSTER, page 5 ]
You may wonder how I feel about marijuana To all eligible voters in the State of Washington, I had not intended to discuss this controversial subject.

2012 state election predictions King County has approximately one-third of the state’s voters and frequently determines the winners. The key is turnout, as 80 percent of voters are predicted to return their ballots. That is actually down by 4 percent from four years ago. Democrats have had the stronger ground game with their Get out the Vote program the past few years. A big turnout in heavily Democratic Seattle could make the difference, but the polls in the past two weeks have shown the Republicans closing the gap in the races for governor and attorney general. Attorney general is the second biggest prize after the governorship. Democratic King County Councilman Bob Ferguson is running against fellow councilman and Republican Reagan Dunn. Ferguson has been the frontrunner, but Dunn took away two major issues when he came out in support of gay marriage and choice. It caused some problems with conservatives, but it helped with independents and moderates, and the conservatives will vote for him anyway. Two good candidates in a tight race. A minuscule edge to Ferguson. In the race for King County sheriff, appointed incumbent Steve Strachan has the experience. He was Kent’s police chief prior to being tapped as the top deputy by previous Sheriff Sue Rahr before her departure for another job. He was then appointed to the top spot. But his opponent, John Urquhart, may be more well known to the public as the longtime spokesperson for the King County Sheriff ’s Office. His list of endorsements is impressive, but his manage-
ment experience is not as strong as Strachan’s. This race could go either way. Conventional wisdom says that Strachan holds on. Democrats will retain control of the state Senate, but with only a two- to three-vote margin. It will be close enough for Republicans to attract conservative Democratic votes and force some compromises internally and with the House. Democrats will retain control of the state House of Representatives, but will lose two to four seats. Locally in the 30th District, Republicans Katrina Asay and Linda Kochmar should win. I-502, the initiative to legalize marijuana, has been a one-sided affair as supporters have raised more than $4 million while the opposition has raised very little. Even police have been split and subdued in their participation. If it doesn’t pass this time, it will in the future. I-1240, which would allow charter schools, is back again and the debate is just as vigorous. Due to the court’s ruling, the broader debate in our state has been more about “full funding” of basic education rather than changing the system. Key supporters such as Bill Gates, the parents of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and Nick Hanauer have contributed more than $2 million. They argue that children and parents need more options and that the current system is not helping them. Opponents, including many teachers, argue that charter schools would take needed funding away from the public school system and reduce oversight — potentially creating a “have” and “have not” system.

If when you say marijuana, you mean the devil’s leaf, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean the evil plant that topples the religious person from the pinnacles of righteous, gracious living
into the bottomless pit of degradation and despair, shame, helplessness and hopelessness, and opens the door to a life of desperation, then certainly I am against it with all of my power. But, if when you say marijuana, you mean that which promotes laid back conversation, encourages philosophical thoughts when good people relax and get together, puts a song in their hearts and laughter
on their lips and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean party cheer; if you mean the stimulating smoke that lets you forget about bad weather; if you mean the cigarette that enables a person to magnify their joy and happiness and to forget, if only for a little while, life’s great tragedies, the heartbreaks and sorrows; if you mean the possibility of mitigating the pain and suffering
of cancer patients as well as others suffering from a myriad of ailments and diseases including the aged and infirm; if you mean the possible source of revenue that could pour into our treasures untold millions of dollars which can be used to provide tender care for our needy children, support our schools, repair the crumbling infrastructure in this state and country, and help to relieve some of the tax burden on the general population, then I am certainly in favor of it.

A conservative voter’s view This is clearly one of the most important elections in recent history in the state of Washington. Three critical issues are represented on our ballots. First is the direction of our federal government as it relates to economic leadership, foreign policy and the ability to work sideby-side state representation in Washington, D.C. Look at the last four years with our current administration. Mitt Romney is clearly the
best choice to address each of the issues above. Second is the direction our state leadership is headed. Liberal leaders in Olympia continue to drag our state down with debt as if there was no end to income. Their non-support of business is literally driving the world leader in aerospace out of our state. We need more conservative, business-supportive leadership in Olympia. I believe Rob McKenna, Linda Kochmar and Katrina Asay deserve our votes. Third is the moral issue represented by R-74. Gender is an essential part of identity, and marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of our God. This is a pivotal time when we must remember, “In God We Trust.” Asking us to ignore it to supposedly ensure the psychological comfort of a few is going overboard — psychological comfort can’t be provided through legislation. We have already shown compassion and acceptance
[ ROEGNER from page 4] Nationally, charter schools have become more common, but have a mixed record. The public still seems leery. It is likely to fail. I-1185 would reimpose a requirement of having a twothirds vote in the state House and Senate or voter approval to raise taxes. It has passed four times already as the public seems mistrustful of giving the state Legislature that power. Opponents argue that the law ties lawmakers’ hands, and that if they want to raise taxes, they should have that option and then be accountable to the voters. It will pass again. Proposition One to rebuild Federal Way High School should finally pass. In Congress all the incum-
in passing the “everything but marriage” law we currently have. Nothing will be gained from passing this measure, and much will be lost. We must reject R-74.

Brain lapses over military The Mirror mentioned that the editorial board almost didn’t endorse Roger Flygare in the 30th District race. The editorial board said it was because of “Flygare’s misstatements about his military service” and “that he needs to work on his history lessons.” Embellishing one’s military record goes to the issue of truthfulness and this is what is disturbing. My family is a military family. I was an Army nurse and my husband flew into Vietnam as a Navy pilot. Our son flew the Army Apache Helicopter and was killed in Iraq. His son, our grandson, now flies for the Air Force.
bents will win. Democrats Suzan DelBene, Denny Heck and Derek Kilmer will become new Congressmen. Incumbent U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) will win. Incumbent statewide office holders will all be re-elected. Democrats will also take two other statewide offices as Troy Kelley is likely to win the auditor’s job, and Kathleen Drew will win the secretary of state race. Democrat Jay Inslee led the race for governor coming out of the primary, but the latest polling says Republican Rob McKenna is up by 1 percent. It’s a toss-up. My expert advisers are split, but lean toward McKenna in a nail biter. Nationally, the Democrats will retain control of the U.S. Senate and the Republicans will hold the House of Representatives. Watch
None of us or our military friends have brain lapses about our time spent in the military. The only people I know who misstate their records are those who feel the need to embellish their backgrounds for political status. I’ve known Linda Kochmar for 30-plus years. The Mirror’s statement that “Kochmar’s integrity and dedication to public service is admirable” was right on. I know her to be intelligent, sincere and honest. She has been actively working for her constituents, not just the special interest groups. She has the education and experience to effectively represent all the citizens. Why take a chance on a candidate who has “brain lapses?”

Teacher votes for Freeman My name is Kim Edwards and I am a teacher at Lakota Middle School and I live in Federal Way.
to see how the Tea Party members fare — it will tell you the public mood. Lastly, President Barack Obama will win our state. However, Mitt Romney has picked up momentum nationwide and may be ahead in the popular vote. In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote but not the presidency. The electoral college determines the winner. And with about 243 electoral votes, Obama’s path seems easier than Romney’s path. Romney has about 206, even though he has cut deeply into the president’s lead. On election night, watch Florida and Virginia. If they go to Romney as expected, Obama’s hopes rest on Ohio. If Romney captures Ohio, Obama has to take Wisconsin and Colorado and maybe Nevada
Normally, I don’t do this, but I understand that this is a unique period for the 30th District and therefore makes it an important election. As a teacher in my community, I know that Roger Freeman will be a champion for not just our children but for our educational system. As an attorney, I can tell you that you can count on him to find the root of the problems and address them through public policy. Federal Way City Councilman Freeman will work to lower the dropout rate, engage young people to stay in school, and give them the power to dream endlessly. Additionally, he will build coalitions with students, parents, teachers and our community to engage families to participate in their school activities. As a PTA dad, he understands how critical it is to be involved. That’s why he is involved in his children’s school activities at Adelaide Elementary and Lakota Middle School.
— otherwise, Romney wins. Obama has consistently led in Ohio by two points, but is now tied. If Obama wins Ohio, his path to 270 electoral votes is easier. Also in a correction from my column last week: Olympia Democratic cash donations to Roger Freeman’s campaign against Republican incumbent Katrina Asay were not large. However, they did make a significant in-kind contribution of over $40,000. It has been one of the most interesting campaign seasons I can remember. But we hold elections for a reason. You, the voter, get to decide. Vote wisely.
Federal Way resident Bob Roegner, a former mayor of Auburn: bjroegner@ comcast.net.
He will not only be a state representative, but he will be a role model for our kids and young adults in our community. Because he authentically works for the people, City Councilman Roger Freeman knows what representation really means. He’s represented families and has worked to win battles in the courtroom. His experience in negotiating with opposing sides, such as with prosecutors in the courtroom, is invaluable. He will bring these skills to Olympia to fight for a strong educational system and advocate for working families. I am asking you to vote for Roger Freeman for state representative position 2 and turn in your ballots no later than Nov. 6.

Having a school that isn’t falling apart will tell them they are valued, they are important and we want them to be successful! It’s a very powerful message; one that encourages students to stay in school and graduate. So we are urging you to vote yes on Nov. 6. Vote yes for the levy. Vote yes for a quality learning environment for our students. Vote yes for a better future for our students.

makes good government. Linda asks the tough questions that help clarify issues with facts and data for the best outcome and reduce emotional responses. We need more leaders like Linda Kochmar who can bring compromise, cooperation and collaboration to Olympia. Linda’s experience as a risk manager for Lakehaven gives her an eye for looking ahead and a perspective for the big picture. Linda’s experience as a Federal Way City Councilmember, deputy mayor and mayor of Federal Way gives her a well connected network of both Republicans and Democrats who can work together for the best results for Washington state. Experience counts. Integrity counts. Help us put the best state representative for the 30th District Position 1 in Olympia. Vote for Linda Kochmar.

Mirror staff reports
A high school teacher in Federal Way has been officially charged over an alleged affair with a student. Eli Thomas Godbolt, 33, was arrested Oct. 1 after a 17-year-old female student revealed that the two had a sexual relationship. Prosecutors charged Godbolt with two counts of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor. The state requested a bail of $25,000, and Godbolt’s arraignment is set for Nov. 14 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. The state has also requested that Godbolt not be permitted to have any contact with minors. Godbolt was initially arraigned Oct. 2 and released
on his own recognizance. The teacher is on administrative leave from Federal Way Public Schools. Since the initial arrest, investigators obtained a copy of a phone call that was recorded between Godbolt and his wife while he was in jail. According to charging documents, Godbolt apologized for his behavior and said, “I’m guilty.” According to a Federal Way police report, the victim was enrolled in algebra and English classes that were taught by Godbolt. The teacher and victim allegedly met several times at the tide flats in Northeast Tacoma and would kiss in her car, according to the report, and on one occasion a police officer shined his light into the car and told them they had to leave.

According to the report, it appeared the unknown suspects did not siphon any gas from the reporting party’s vehicle.
In September 2011, they allegedly had sexual intercourse once at his home and once at the tide flats, according to charging documents. They continued to meet in the classroom at the high school to kiss, and also met at parking lots. Charging documents say the two also had sex in October 2011 and February 2012. After the Todd Beamer homecoming dance in October 2011, which Godbolt chaperoned so that he could see the victim dressed in her formal attire, the two met at the tide flats and were again caught kissing by a police officer who told them to leave. The victim allegedly broke off the relationship in April. The victim gave police a pair of underwear that she allegedly wore during one of the sexual encounters. The underwear was tested for his DNA.

FEMA honors Federal Way man for heroics during winter storm By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
More money for more mammograms The Federal Way Mirror printed its Oct. 5 edition on pink paper to raise awareness for breast cancer. On Monday, publisher Rudi Alcott presented a check for $1,215 to the Women’s Health and Breast Center at St. Francis Hospital. The amount represents 20 percent of advertising proceeds from the pink edition. The donation will help provide mammograms to eight women in need. Pictured with Alcott are Cynthia Kannenberg, center manager, and Susan Johnson, MD, FACOG. MIRROR STAFF PHOTO

www.federalwaymirror.com [ KENYA from page 1] nine through 12. Current eighthgraders will take national exams at the end of the school year in December. The Community Service Group at the Federal Way Public Academy has supported the Crossroads Springs Institute since fall 2005. Early on, academy students realized the need to care and support these orphaned children as their parents would have done if they had lived. They also recognized that these children with no educa-
tion, or an incomplete education, often migrate to the cities — homeless and without hope. The Public Academy began fundraising events with a yearly carnival and bake sales. African jewelry and artifacts, as well as note cards, were sold to support the endeavor with all proceeds going to the general account for food, uniforms and teacher and cook salaries. In some years the students raised funds for a specific purpose such as a pair of shoes for each student, PE uniforms, the building of a well, or a sweater for
each student. In a country where tens of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes amid the 2008 brutal and common postelection violence of corruption, bribery and scare tactics — and whereas of 2007, 8,400 children have been orphaned in the Hamisi Division due to HIV/AIDS — it is not hard for the Federal Way Public Academy students to imagine the child who has nowhere to go amid destruction and suffering. The crisis of orphans is real, and the Crossroads Springs School
became a predominant and safe haven. With the assistance of the Public Academy and other donors from North America, people of Crossroads Springs no longer have to walk long distances for water and wood. They no longer have to collect wood shavings and cook on an outside wood fire. They now have a kitchen at the school, plus a wood stove that conserves wood to serve students two meals a day. A much-needed working well was also built. The Public Academy’s Community Service group continues
their dedication and hard work to support the Kenyan school, and have begun planning events for this school year. They understand what a dollar can do (a child’s uniform is $4; mosquito netting is $5). The Honor Society has held a coin drive in October. The FWPA annual carnival is being held 5 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7 to raise funds for Crossroads Springs. The public is invited to attend and support this endeavor. Federal Way Public Academy is located at 34620 9th Ave. S. Contact fwsoccerfamily@comcast.net.

found at the scene. The victim was wearing a turban, kirpana, kara and Kanga, which are all items related to his Sikhism religion. The victim, an immigrant from India, believed he was assaulted because the suspect thought he was a Muslim, according to the police report. The victim was transported to a hospital. At the scene, Larson told officers that he attacked the cab driver because the driver was “a towel head.” Officers reported that the suspect also referred to the victim as an “Iranian, Iraqi, Raghead,
Faggot Motherf-----.” The suspect allegedly told an officer at the scene that “We have Americans fighting overseas in his country and why doesn’t he go back to there.” The suspect has a lengthy criminal history, which includes 19 bookings since 1986, along with 34 warrants. Past charges include disorderly conduct, assault, DUI, attempting to elude police, domestic violence assault, malicious mischief and marijuana possession. Bail was set at $60,000. Larson will be arraigned Nov. 5 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Federal Way senior Evan Elliott will lead the Eagles into the postseason starting tonight against Issaquah at 7:30 p.m. at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Elliott has accounted for 23 touchdowns, including 20 through the air. casey olson, The Mirror
With talent galore around him, Federal Way QB Evan Elliott just goes out and gets the job done By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
If you were asked to pick out the quarterback of the secondranked and unbeaten Federal Way High School football team, it’s pretty likely Evan Elliott wouldn’t get a lot of fingers pointed his way.
The senior isn’t what you think of when a coach draws up the perfect quarterback. Elliott is “listed” at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds and isn’t going to outrun a lot of defensive backs or uncork a 65-yard spiral down the middle of the field. In short, he doesn’t possess the “tools” that get college recruiters salivating.
It’s something Elliott could care less about. He just wants to do one thing on the football field — win. And Elliott and the rest of his Federal Way teammates have been doing plenty of that this season. Federal Way is 9-0 and start their postseason run at 7:30 p.m. against Issaquah Friday night, Nov. 2, at Federal Way Memorial Stadium in the 32-team preliminary round of the Class 4A state playoffs.

The Thomas Jefferson Raiders were the best team in the South Puget Sound League all season long and can now call themselves the best team in the West Central/ Southwest District. The TJ boys tennis team outlasted Olympia Saturday to win the district championship with 26 team points. Mitch Stewart Olympia finished a close second with 23 at the Capitol City Tennis Center in Olympia. Next up for the Raiders is the state tournament, which will be contested May 24-25 at Richland High School [ more Tennis page 17 ]

Issaquah (5-4) earned the berth after finishing fifth in the wacky KingCo League. The Eagles beat Woodinville Friday night, 20-13, to earn the postseason appearance. In recent years, Issaquah have put together an impressive football history. The Eagles have made 12 state tournament appearances, playing in the state championship game in 2008 and advancing into the quarterfinals in 2009 and 2010.
their only loss coming to top-ranked Skyline, 21-0 on Oct. 19. It was Skyline’s closest win of the season.
Why Issaquah will win: The Eagles have been a powerhouse in the KingCo League for years, but have been up and down all season long. The Eagles feature some of the best talent in the area. Offensively, Issaquah is led by junior running back Jack Gellatly and will attempt to pound the 6-foot, 215-pounder and control the clock against explosive Federal Way. Gellatly is basically the entire Eagle offense. He ran for nearly 1,500 yards during the regular season and has 19 of the 20 rushing

He wanted to go the whole season without throwing an interception. He took a lot of pride in the fact. He was hot.” “I’m always trying to minimize my mistakes and I was proud of the fact that I hadn’t thrown a pick all year,” he said. “I thought I had a good read and the ball felt good coming out of my hand. The kid just made a nice play.” The interception happened in the second quarter and the Eagles went into halftime nursing just a 14-6 lead against Curtis. “At the time I was hot, but I went into the locker room at halftime and calmed myself down,” Elliott said. “I just told myself that I had to take it to a whole new level.” And Elliott did just that,

year. That’s when Federal Way cruised through the SPSL season unbeaten only to lose to Eastlake in the opening round of the state playoffs on the turf at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. “It definitely feels differently than last year,” Elliott said. “We really didn’t know we would be that good. We were kind of in shock when we got to the postseason. Now that it’s our senior year, we have learned from that and don’t want that bad taste in our mouth again.” The Eagles’ 2012 postseason journey kicks off against Issaquah, who finished fifth in the KingCo League with a 5-4 record. Federal Way is hoping the journey ends inside the Tacoma Dome in the state championship game, Nov. 30. “Obviously, our goal is to take state,” Elliott said. “But we are taking it game by game and knowing we have to take care of our business and make some statements along the way. “We want to make it to the Dome. The championship is in our reach.”

and the Tri-City Court Club in the Tri-Cities. The Raiders were led by the doubles’ team of Cameron and Zack Martin. The brothers won the district title in ultra-impressive fashion Saturday. The Martins dominated a Bellarmine Prep team in the championship round, 6-1, 7-6 (7-1) to earn the district’s top seed into the Class 4A State Boys Tennis Tournament. State will be held in the spring. The district title for the TJ team was a little bit of a surprise. The Martins were beaten in straight sets in the quarterfinals of the SPSL Tournament by the Kentridge team of Aadil Diwan and Randy Huynh and finished up in fourth place. It was a different story at the district tournament. The Martins won all four of their matches in straight sets, beating the champions of the Greater St. Helen’s League and the top seed from the Narrows League en route. In a more expected finish, Federal Way junior Mitch Stewart rolled to his third-straight West Central/
For the second straight weekend, Federal Way’s J.R. Celski won a World Cup medal. This time, Celski cruised to a silver medal in the men’s 1,500 meters at the Samsung ISU Short Track Speedskating World Cup in Montreal Saturday. The second-place finish brings his season World Cup medal haul to three, having won a bronze and gold in Calgary last weekend. Celski set a world record in winning the 500 meters last weekend. “It was a good race,” Celski said in Montreal. “I saw a lot of opportunities I was able to take. The J.R.Celski last one I didn’t take in time, so I wound up taking the silver. Overall, it was a good race and I’m excited with the outcome.” Celski’s other highlight was his performance in the 5000-meter relay. The United States team, which included Celski, finished up in third place Sunday in Montreal. The team also included Travis Jayner, John-Henry Krueger and Chris Creveling. “I’m happy that the men’s relay made it into the final. We skated a good race,” said Celski. Celski and the rest of the Team USA short track team is now back to the United States for a few days of rest before the third stop on the World Cup schedule in Nagoya, Japan, scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 2. “Obviously, I’m very happy with J.R.’s performance today. He skated a great final, a very tactical race and just came up a little short at the end,” said Stephen Gough, USA interim head coach.

championship in dominating fashion. Stewart, who won the state title last year, downed Olympia’s John Stormans in the district championship, 6-2, 6-2. In total, Stewart lost only five total games during his four matches. He has only lost one match during his high school career. Stewart lost to Jackson’s Michael Chamerski in the 4A championship during his freshman season. Chamerski is currently playing at the University of Washington. During the summer, Stewart played in tournaments all over the nation, winning the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Boys 16-under National Clay Court Championship in Florida. He also finished 1-1 at the U.S. Open Junior Boys’ Tournament in New York City. Stewart, who is ranked fifth in the country by the USTA and 9th on the AthleticDNA College Recruiting List, has already narrowed his college choices to four of the most powerful programs in the nation — Duke, Georgia, UCLA and Washington.

[ cross country from page 15 ] qualified for the 16-team Class 4A State Girls Cross Country Meet, which will take place Saturday at the Sun Willows Golf Course in the Tri-Cities. The Titans were led again by sophomore Ashley Mason, who finished in 24th-place overall over the 5,000-meter course at the district championships in a time of 19:37.7. Mason was followed by teammates Angela Mendoza (24th place, 20:44.1), Lily Do (61st, 21:11.0), Alyssa Donawa (70th, 21:23.2), Paige Hallstrom (87th, 21:51.6), Alyssa Odom (89th, 21:52.4) and Jessa Barth (91st, 21:53.7). But the girls’ team won’t be the only representatives from Beamer running in the Tri-Cities this weekend. Junior Haftom Tafere and sophomore Austin Jex both qualified individually for the state meet. Things should only get better for the Titans in years to come. All seven of Beamer’s runners are underclassmen and only one of them is even a junior, the rest are freshmen and sophomores. Tafere had the best individual finish of any Federal
Way school district runner Saturday when he ended up in 13th overall in a time of 16:13.3. Jex was right behind in 18th place in a time of 16:21.7. The Beamer boys finished in 10th place as a team.

Soccer: Eagles top KW, districts up next Swimming: Ramey, Church win district titles, state up next By CASEY OLSON

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Kenna Ramey continued her impressive season Saturday with a pair of individual titles at the 2012 Class 4A West Central District Girls Swimming Championships at Curtis High School. Ramey, a Federal Way High School junior, won district titles in the 50-yard freestyle and 100 butterfly at the 20team meet which included schools from the South Puget Sound and Narrows Leagues. It was the second of three postseason championships for swimmers. Next up is the Class 4A State Girls Swimming and Diving Meet Nov. 9-10 at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center. At the West Central District meet, Ramey dominated the 50 free, winning the shortest race of the day by nearly half a second. Ramey swam a time of 23.98 to outdistance second-place finisher, Emerald Ridge’s Alana Pries (24.58). Ramey’s state-winning time a season ago was 23.62. Ramey also dominated the butterfly Saturday at Curtis, winning the race by almost two seconds in a time of 57.03. Kentlake’s Emily Tanasse finished second in a time of 58.83. But Ramey wasn’t the only Federal Way school district athlete to bring home a district title last weekend. Jefferson senior Shelby Church won the 1-meter diving championship with a score of 348.90. Church is a veteran of the state meet, having finished sixth a season ago. Rogers’ Emi Smith was right behind with 344.70 points. Federal Way sophomore Tia Thomas was third overall with 336.45 points and Church’s twin sister, Monica, was eighth overall with a score of 297.65. Mount Rainier ran away with the team title during the West Central District Meet. The Rams totaled 361 points, well ahead of second-place Kentlake (240). Federal Way ended up in sixth-place overall with 142 points. The Federal Way 200 freestyle relay team of Eva Barth, Colby Blake, Marissa Meyer and Ramey also qualified for the state meet with a third-place finish Saturday at districts. The Eagles swam a qualifying time of 1:43.07, finishing behind Kentlake (1:41.61) and Mount Rainier (1:42.43).

Underneath a steady downpour, the Federal Way Eagles were too much for Kentwood Tuesday night at the South Puget Sound League Girls Soccer Tournament. The Eagles earned the SPSL’s fifth seed into the West Central/Southwest District Tournament with a 3-0 win over the Conquerors at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. As the fifth seed from the SPSL, the Eagles will now travel to Vancouver to take on the second-place team from the Greater St. Helen’s League, Camas, in the dis-
trict tournament Saturday, Nov. 3. The game wil be at 4 p.m. at McKenzie Stadium. Camas lost to Union, 3-0, Wednesdsay night in the GSHL championship game in Vancouver. During Tuesday’s SPSL Tournament, the Eagles got single goals from senior Bianca Arizpe, sophomore Garbriela Pelogi and freshman Kayla Peterson. Sydney Slagg and Audrey Shin both had assists for Federal Way. University of Washington-bound senior goalkeeper Sarah Shimer pitched her eighth shutout of the season against high-powered Kentwood, who finished 10-3-3 in the SPSL North.

[22] November 2, 2012 [ playoffs from page 15 ] the grandson of former world champion touchdowns Issaquah has scored all season. Gellatly is also the third-leading receiver for the Eagles. Issaquah features a pair of quarterbacks in Jack Neary and Chas Peterson. Neary has all six of the Eagles’ touchdown passes on the year with three going to wide receiver Reed Peterson. Senior Craig Greiwe is also a dangerous weapon on the outside. Defensively, Issaquah has allowed only 187 points in its nine games. The Eagles’ pass rush is led by Andrew Dierken, who has four sacks, and Issaquah’s leading tackler is linebacker Eric Rauch, who also has one sack and two interceptions. The Eagles also feature Ken Norton III, who is the son of former NFL All-Pro Ken Norton Jr. and
heavyweight boxer, Ken Norton. Norton III is a 6-2, 180-pound defensive back. Why Federal Way will win: Obviously, the second-ranked Eagles are expected by most observers outside of the Issaquah city limits to win Friday night’s game, but it also helps to be playing on your home field. Federal Way truly excels in all three phases of the game — offense, defense and special teams. The Eagles feature differencemakers and have college recruits littered all over the field. Offensively, Federal Way has balanced the run and pass games all season. Senior quarterback Evan Elliott completed over 70 percent of his passes for 1,195 yards, 20 touchdowns and only one interception.
www.federalwaymirror.com On the ground, senior Zeek McNeal and sophomore Chico McClatcher combined for over 1,100 yards rushing during the SPSL South season. McClatcher, who already has a scholarship offer from the University of Washington as a 10th-grader, finished with 13 touchdowns, including three on punt returns and McNeal had 627 yards and 10 touchdowns on just 54 carries. Defensively, the Eagles feature a pair of thumping middle linebackers in Albert Havili and Rod Jones. Both seniors will play on Saturday’s in college and are both listed at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds. Up front, Federal Way is led by a group including Jay-Tee Tiuli (6-3, 295), Winston Havili (6-0, 215), Robert Savusa (5-11, 240) and Eric Ah Fua (5-10, 255). The rest of the defensive backfield features speed galore in Tucker, J.J. McNeal, Tate, Keenan Curran, Aaron Persinger and Tate, among others. Persinger finished with five interceptions on the year and Tucker had three. In total, the Eagles led the South with a +14 takeaway ratio, including 16 interceptions. They also led the league in total defense, allowing just over 200 yards a game.

The only knock against the Eagles this season is they haven’t played a really close game all season. Federal Way’s starters basically played their first full game last Friday against the Curtis Vikings, which was still a 35-6 victory. During their other eight SPSL contests, the Eagle starters were essentially done at halftime. Federal Way outscored its opponents 325-61 during the first two quarters during the regular season.

[ BEAVERS from page 1] Beavers soon moved in and built large dams. The dams have raised the water level to just inches below the bridge while flooding the surrounding properties. “We weren’t going to remove them until the water got that close to the bridge,” said Carl Ward, a biologist for WSDOT. “Chances “One of the are, they dams is 6 feet are going to tall and has come back.” flooded 10 acres. … They Carl Ward, built a second biologist, WSDOT dam, which made it a lot worse.” Ward acknowledged that more beavers will eventually build dams in that area. “Chances are, they are going to come back,” he said of the beavers. “They’re expanding rapidly through the system and in other areas in the watershed.” In recent decades, the beaver population has grown stronger in Washington because people aren’t trapping or hunting the animals anymore. Reasons include a statewide ban on body-grip traps, Cleland said, along with the lack of a market for beaver fur. That’s a reversal from the late 1800s, when unregulated trapping led to the beaver population’s decline. “Other than a mountain lion or a bear, beavers have no natural predators,” Cleland said. “We were about the only line of population control.” Federal Way resident Randi Darmer has lived on South 373rd Street by the creek for 50 years. This is the first time beavers have caused flooding in the area, she said. The flooded road has led to car accidents in the past because of ice. She understands the need to fix the problem, even if it means killing the beavers. “It’s a bummer for the beavers,” Darmer said. “It’s a catch-22. We can’t have our road flooding.” Beavers are the largest rodents in North America, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Adults weigh an average of 40 pounds and measure more than 3 feet long, including the tail. Large front incisors grow throughout a beaver’s life, and the teeth are used to cut trees and peel bark. By building dams, beavers flood their territory to provide underwater entrances to their dens and protect themselves from predators. Beavers have been known to build dams 10 feet high and more than
165 feet wide. A University of Washington study titled “The Importance of Beaver Ponds to Coho Salmon Production in the Stillaguamish River Basin, Washington, USA” explores the positive relationship between beaver dams and the population of coho salmon. “There is great potential for increasing coho salmon populations through an increase in the abundance of slow-water habitats, such as those created by beaver dams,” the study concluded.
www.federalwaymirror.com city staff braved the weather to par[ TRAFFIC from page 1] Even a single non-turning vehicle that’s waiting to go through the light will end up causing a backup of right-turning vehicles going westbound or northbound, he said. “Being able to separate those movements and peel them out will increase the efficiency of the signal tremendously and improve the operation and safety of the intersection,” he added. The project is slated to start in May. Roberts said he expects it to last “one full construction season,” ranging between six and eight months. Various community members and
ticipate the open house on Oct. 30. Roberts said the open houses are always a good opportunity for city staff to interact with the community. “Often times, people will come and say, ‘Hey my driveway is here, and if you do this, it’s going to cause this kind of an impact for me,’” Roberts said. “When you have a face-to-face with people, we’re able to see and do something about issues before construction.” One such person who benefited from the open house was Cindy Stanaway, one of the owners of a Dairy Queen restaurant that will be affected by the construction.

“I was asked by the owners of the property to come here to find out about it, so I’m just finding out about it,” she said. “I think it will be a really good idea. This is just such a bad (intersection). There are accidents there all the time. So putting a light in there will probably be good.” Stanaway expressed some concerns about the project possibly affecting parking for her business, saying her business could potentially lose about three spots in an already crowded parking lot. Regardless, she still sees the wisdom of the project. “I get it,” she said, simply. To learn more about the project, call (253) 835-2723.
