Heavy rain and snow means a flood watch for a bulk of region

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
As one of the busiest travel seasons ramped up for Thanksgiving weekend, Western Washington and the state’s mountain passes were hammered with rain and snow. This week, flood watches were issued for most of Western Washington by the National Weather Service (NWS). The NWS warned of mudslides and flooding as a major hazard for the region. The alert from the NWS indicated that “rainfall up to 1.5 inches, with localized amounts near 3 inches…has increased the soil moisture to moderate levels across Western Washington.” The NWS warned that an additional 2 inches of rain by the end of Monday “will put extra pressure on soil instability, leading to a risk of scattered landslides.” For Federal Way, the city’s Surface Water Management Division has a pre-made list of “hot spots” to watch when the rain comes hard and heavy like it did Monday. According to city spokesman Chris Carrel, anyone who experiences issues with rainwater on roadways or other issues in residential areas should [ more WEATHER, p. 14 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

Hiker takes on Pacific Crest Trail By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
Alex Hinkle undertook an epic hike this past summer when he attempted to traverse the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from the U.S.-Mexico border to the U.S.-Canada border. Starting in Southern California, Hinkle and a few friends he made along the way reached Stehekin, Wash., 84 miles short of the Canadian border, before they were stopped by inclement weather. Hinkle, a graduate of Thomas Jeffer-
son High School and the University of Washington, explained the inspiration for his trip, saying hiking has always been a favorite hobby. “I enjoyed backpacking as a hobby. I wanted to find some sort of activity that I could do over the summer,” he said. “I just wanted to stay on the West Coast and do something close to home and get into the back country and kind of see the West Coast in a different way than I’m used to.” “I’ve lived in the city my whole life,” he added.

The biggest shopping day of the year will double as a statement for employees of the world’s largest retailer. Last Thursday morning, dozens of Walmart employees participated in a protest strike outside the Federal Way store on South 314th Street. Walmart employees from the region walked off their jobs and aired grievances over wages, job safety and health benefits. Walmarts across the nation are expected to see similar protests through Thanksgiving and the Black Friday shopping day. Carrying signs and green balloons, the workers marched toward a demonstration area in front of the store while chanting “Walmart, Walmart, you’re no good, treat your workers like you should.” Several longtime employees of the Federal Way store on South 314th Street voiced their frustrations to the crowd. Aside from poorly resolved conflicts with store management, employee Sara Gilbert said her fellow co-workers face problems such as getting their hours cut and dealing with an overall lack of respect.
A scene from last week’s protest in Federal Way. MIRROR PHOTO “We believe Walmart can do better,” said Gilbert, a mother of five who supports her family on an hourly wage of $11.65 as well as state assistance. “We should not be penalized when we speak up.” The protest was organized by OUR Walmart and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) chapter 21. Employees from Walmart stores in Federal Way, Renton and Lakewood participated. “The UFCW, nationally and locally, has been a longtime advocate for getting Walmart to change its behavior,” said Tom Geiger, UFCW 21 communications director. At last Thursday’s protest, the SPEEA union also donated $2,000 toward the Walmart Striker Support Fund. [ more WALMART, p. 14 ]

Salvador Dali etching found at Federal Way Goodwill store Mirror staff reports
An employee at the Federal Way Goodwill discovered an etching by legendary Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali. The etching’s donor remains anonymous, according to media reports. Tacoma Goodwill then auctioned the item online, where the piece sold for $21,005 with 154 bids. The auction ended Nov. 19.

DUI arrests on Thanksgiving Day Mirror staff reports
According to the Washington State IN OTHER Patrol, 22 drivers in King County were arrested on Thanksgiving Day last year for driving under the influence (DUI). That marked the second highest DUI arrest holiday in King County, second only to New Year’s Day. Of those arrests, there were four non-injury collisions and one minor injury collision, according to the state patrol. So far in 2012, King County has had 19 traffic fatality collisions, with roughly half of those collisions related to DUI. Every fatality collision incurs $6.2 million in societal costs, according to the state patrol. The financial cost to a driver with a DUI charge can reach over $20,000, according to the state patrol.

COLUMN
As we begin the holiday season, on behalf of the students, staff and family members of Federal Way High School and schools throughout the district, I want to express heartfelt thanks for the trust and confidence the community has again placed in the district. While the 2012 capital levy vote has not yet been certified by the county’s elections bureau, the measure is currently passing with 60 percent approval. We are already building on the work done through the past year to synthesize the information from the many conversations we’ve had, and to gather additional input and begin the design process leading to construction of a new Federal Way High School, installation of playgrounds at 19 elementary schools, and security cameras across the district. Much work lies ahead of us. I look forward to working with the community — not only the school community, but the broader community, in this design process. What an exciting opportunity for all of Federal Way. It takes all of us working together to create safe and inspiring schools, and a gem of a high school facility, that will meet the needs of our students in the immediate future, and for decades to come. We’re not just building schools — we’re building community.

A hard fought fight for people on Medicare With the high threat of the health care bill going into effect very soon, and what it will mean to those of us on Medicare, I would like to thank those who didn’t see what was happening, when they voted for the re-election of this person, who has decided to stick us, the seniors, with the bill and taking $716 billion out of Medicare to pay for his
Dems thank marriage and pot The Democrats and Governor-elect Jay Inslee can thank marijuana and same-sex marriage, at least in part, for their election victory. Early this year, Republicans were feeling very confident of winning the governor’s office and the state Senate. Republicans also thought they had a chance at winning the state House of Representatives. In Rob McKenna, they had their best candidate for governor in several years. He had won two statewide races and ran above the Republican base in King County. Their base was energized in its opposition to President Obama, and picking up two Senate seats appeared likely. Democratic leaders knew that enthusiasm for Obama had diminished among some key voting blocks because he hadn’t pushed on some liberal causes, and voter turnout was a major concern. Democrats needed to light a fire under their base. They found their match in marijuana, same-sex marriage, an impressive ground game, Inslee’s improved campaign and some tactical errors by the Republicans. During the last legislative session, Democrats received some criticism when the Legislature passed same-sex marriage. Some were concerned that the issue would inflame the Republican right and cost the Democrats the election. At the same time, an initiative was being circulated to put marijuana on the ballot. The Democrats’ logic was that Republicans were so unhappy with the president that they will vote anyway. But with marijuana and samesex marriage on the ballot, that could ensure a big Democratic turnout. They were right. It turned out to be the smartest political move of the year. More people voted in the same-sex and marijuana category than voted for president or governor. While labor, teachers
and others worked hard and could be counted on to go to the polls, the move to get both items on the ballot was significant in getting other key voting groups to actually vote — including young people, who supported Obama and Inslee. Young people wanting to vote on legalizing pot? That shouldn’t be a shocker. Also, McKenna made a critical mistake just before the primary. Up by 10-12 points in the polls, he let Inslee define himself, rather than try and put him away early with a media blitz. Inslee’s campaign came out with an impressive series of commercials. Inslee’s win in the primary gave him the credibility he needed, and then went on to win the election with 51 percent statewide and 62 percent in King County. McKenna only received 38 percent of the vote in King County, where he needed to be closer to 43 percent. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney faired even worse in King County, as he got only 28 percent. That is the amount you automatically get for having “Republican” next to your name. More than 35,000 people voted for McKenna and same-sex marriage, which is an odd combination given the traditional Republican viewpoint. McKenna out-polled Romney in King County and surprisingly, more than 72,000 people voted for Obama and McKenna. The public was so attracted by the two hot button issues that there was a dropoff further down the ballot. The only Republican statewide winner was Kim Wyman for Secretary of State. But the dropoff in King County by more than 60,000 voters probably kept the Democrats from a clean sweep. Had those 60,000 people voted and simply split at the same percentage as the rest of King County, Democrat Kathleen Drew likely would have won. [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

Some thongs honor political figures, such as “Federal Way for Obama” and “Federal Way supports Sarah Palin.” Male shoppers may prefer boxer shorts with messages like “I love Federal Way,” “Federal Way pride,” and “I’d rather be in Federal Way.” For the man who likes minimalist underwear, there’s even a thong that says “Federal Way Dad.” Other messages displayed on these classic cotton buttflossers include “The hottest girls are from Federal Way,” “Everything is better in

Federal Way,” and my favorite, “Somebody in Federal Way loves me.” Customers can also wear these messages on shirts, hats, aprons, bibs, hats and coffee mugs. Unlike Seattle or Tacoma, you won’t find Federal Way folks paying homage to their hometown on clothing, aside from the students who wear sweatshirts with a school namesake. Unless you’re on the BPA Trail, you won’t see residents flashing undies that say “Kiss me, I’m from Federal Way.” There’s something to be said about the willingness to wear Federal Way with pride. Let’s spread that willingness among citizens. Let’s foster admiration for the city and convert casual fans into diehard Federal Way fans, one fan at a time. The more pride that ripples through the city, the more ownership residents will take in their hometown — creating more incentives to build up the city and place it on a pedestal. Perhaps that sounds too idealistic and naive, but everyone benefits from the few who dare to dream. According to the top-selling book in human history, a city on a hill cannot be hidden. Don’t hide Federal Way’s light under a bushel, or in this case, underneath your clothing. Community pride is contagious, so wear that pride for Federal Way on your sleeve.
aware of the potential for violence. Adults in this category are in denial and most children are in this category. The individual who delegates his or her own protection to others is also in denial. Many women to whom I speak tell me that they have never shot a gun and are scared to handle a gun. This is not denial, but simply an honest statement of the facts that can be easily remedied with the right kind of training. Many urban men, on the other hand, will state that they have no use for guns. They may even explain that they have shot firearms in the military, but that there is no place for an armed citizen in a modern “common sense” society. I am convinced that these are men that are just as nervous about handling a gun as the ladies but are unwilling to admit it. There is little hope for such an individual because denial has made him bullet proof in regard to further discussion. An honest man or woman who realizes the need to prepare for potentially violent encounters begins to consider options to gain necessary skills. This individual would gradually become what Chad calls “rationally prepared.” The rationally prepared individual is aware that predators make up a small percentage of society, but that they do exist. The rationally prepared individual considers options on how to safely get out of such situations. This individual is committed to not becoming a victim and develops the means to protect loved ones. The rationally prepared person benefits the whole community and is not someone who becomes irrationally aggressive by displaying a weapon or committing some other dangerous act that could result in criminal charges. I have often suggested that the whole political spectrum can be more rationally configured from just such a perspective. If your strategy for dealing with threats is just to remain within the false security of the herd, you may fall into the sheep category and may become a victim.

The region boasts a number of children’s museums that are perfect for a family day trip. The non-profit museums are havens of enrichment. They appeal to curiosity and encourage interaction through play. In one corner, kids can strap on a smock and splash in a river full of rubber dolphins, ducks and octopuses floating downstream. Across the room, the kids can fingerpaint and dig in the clay, then wheel a grocery cart through a grocery store with recycled milk cartons, plastic veggies and rubber bread loaves. Some museums host stages with costumes and puppets. Most museums have a cafe. The museums meet demand for indoor entertainment in the rainy Northwest. Children’s museums helps cities like Everett, Tacoma and Olympia attract outside visitors. One example is the Hands On Children’s Museum, which opened a brand new facility this month in Olympia. This is the best of the bunch, a two-story wonderland with room to grow. Even in its former home by the Capitol dome, the museum generated $6 million a year to the Olympia area, according to a report on Thurstontalk. com. As an anchor project for a mixed-use development, the museum is expected to attract 215,000 visitors a year and guide
them to local restaurants and hotels. The museum reports that 35 percent of visitors arrive from outside Thurston County. What would a children’s museum look like in Federal Way? If money were no obstacle, the museum would be a catalyst for downtown development that encourages families to stay and play in Federal Way.

Children’s museum in Federal Way
The analogy of sheep dogs and sheep has been under discussion since Lt. Col. Dave Grossman raised it in his book titled “On Combat.” Published in 2008, the book describes three psychological approaches to threats of violence. A “sheep” is a person who is mentally unprepared for a violent confrontation and usually in denial that the potential for violence even exists. The “sheep dog” prepares to confront aggression when necessary. The “wolf ” is a violent predator with little regard for the rights of others. The wolf only respects the man or woman that will meet force with force. Grossman and his co-author primarily focused on law enforcement officers and soldiers in combat. The concept of civilian “sheep dogs” is a popular source of discussion among some armed citizens, but also can raise legitimate questions. A certain aggressive type of civilian sheep dog is looking for a confrontation and may even insert himself irrationally into a situation by trying to do something inappropriate — like making an arrest, for example. Such inappropriate decisions demonstrate wolf-like tendencies bordering on vigilantism. The fact that such individuals apparently want to act in the role of police officers raises the issue of what it takes for such folks to get a life. I asked my fellow members of the Armed Defense Training Association what they think of the concept of “civilian” sheep dogs. ADTA Vice President Chad Hiatt’s analysis makes an important distinction between aggressive sheep dogs versus rational sheep dogs. The rational sheep dog, however, takes steps to protect his or her family. Any decision to protect others outside the immediate circle of your loved ones and others who are depending on you is fraught with peril. The woman screaming rape in the parking lot may be getting arrested by plain clothes officers. Things can get very complicated very quickly for a citizen that rushes in armed with a pistol and without all the facts. Several levels of preparation are worth thinking about. An individual may not be

The other side benefit of the turnout was that almost every local request for additional tax authority passed. That includes the county’s fingerprint program and a levy to rebuild Federal Way High School. The Democrats lost a couple of seats in the House, but retained control. The Senate is likely to be democratic in name only at 26-23 if Republican incumbent Don Benton holds off a major challenge down in Vancouver. It may go to a recount. With a two-vote margin, conservative Democrats Rodney Tom and Tim Sheldon come into play, and may again side with Republicans to give control of the Senate to the Republicans. Until Governor-elect Inslee gets his staff and cabinet in place, the most powerful person in Olympia will be House Speaker Frank Chopp. But with a likely shortfall of $2 billion, a divided Senate and a new governor, Olympia is going to be a very chaotic place. That was a fun election for writers.

You can have a DUI for prescription medication. A DUI for marijuana isn’t new. The only complication was in the THC blood level.” Just how long THC — the psychoactive component in marijuana plants responsible for the “high”— stays in the system has been a source of concern for the law’s pro-marijuana critics. “Active THC lingers in the body for days, and we have no home test for individuals to determine if they’re below 5 (nanograms per milliliter of whole blood) before they drive,” Martinelli wrote in his editorial.

that a driver could be intoxicated days after smoking is based on a chemical misunderstanding. It is true that common drug tests, like those administered by an employer or court monitoring, can detect recent marijuana use days after the fact; even a month for heavy users. But such tests measure carboxyTHC, an inactive chemical that hangs around in the body well after the drug has been metabolized. New Approach Washington cites analysis from a 2009 article in Addiction, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by London’s National Addiction Centre. Analysis of plasma during and after smoking a single 3.55 percent THC marijuana cigarette showed an average user would see carboxy-THC levels rise above 40 milliliters per nanogram within an hour of smoking and stay above 40 for at least four hours after use. But the state blood limit measures active delta-9THC. In the same plasma study, the average user’s active THC levels skyrocketed to 150 milliliters per nanogram shortly after use, before dropping to less than
20 within an hour. Blood levels of active THC gradually decreased to near-zero four hours after use. Before a standard suspicion-of-DUI stop, officers first consider whether a vehicle is traveling erratically in a way that might suggest an intoxicated driver. If it is, an officer will initiate a stop and contact the driver, noting any strange behavior, slurred speech or smell of intoxicants. The Standardized Field Sobriety Test, commonly abbreviated by law enforcement officers as SFSTs or FSTs, is a battery of three tests administered to determine impairment and establish probable cause for an arrest. They are the horizontal gaze nystagmus test—a check for exaggerated involuntary jerking of the eyes as they follow an object side-to-side—the walk and turn test along a straight line, and the one-leg stand. Research sponsored by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration has determined that the combined results of the three tests create an accurate idea of intoxication 91 percent of the time. It’s at this point that alcohol and drug-related DUI

stops differ. In a drinking-related DUI or DWI investigation, an officer follows the SFST with a portable breath test to determine whether the driver is in excess of the 0.08 Blood Alcohol Content limit. The portable test provides a presumptive—but not evidentiary—BAC level that factors into an officer’s decision whether to arrest a suspect and administer two evidentiary breath tests during booking. Marijuana and other non-alcohol drugs have no such presumptive test. “There are an advanced form of SFSTs,” Enumclaw Lt. Bob Huebler said. “Officers may decide they’re needed on stops where drivers show impairment, but not necessarily intoxication.” If the criteria for suspicion of drug use are met, police can have the suspect’s blood drawn at a medical facility. The blood is extracted to vials provided by Washington State Patrol and submitted to a state lab for analysis. That’s true for suspicion of any drug, and is already true for marijuana, Reynolds said; the new THC blood limit simply sets the standard for presumed intoxication. But a blood level below the legal limit doesn’t guarantee protection against charges, according to the text of the law. In cases where a sample—of either THC or alcohol—is obtained more than two hours after the suspect was driving, any result above zero may be used as evidence of sufficient intoxication while behind the wheel. Additionally, drivers younger than 21 are subject to zero tolerance on THC blood levels, in contrast to the 0.02 blood alcohol limit for minors.

13 facts about pot law By Daniel Nash For The Mirror
After the election day news of legal marijuana in Washington, unanswered questions have been lobbed from all sides: Will I be able to buy a joint from the 7-Eleven? Does marijuana have an open container equivalent? How will marijuana be packaged and sold? Here are 13 things you may not already know about Initiative 502: • Initiative 502’s passage does not affect current medical marijuana laws. I-502 Campaign Director Alison Holcomb claimed the law would not prevent patients from obtaining their prescriptions through collective gardens and that they would not be subject to the 40 percent sin tax. • The Liquor Control Board has until Dec. 1, 2013, to craft the full rules regarding growing, processing, retailing and possessing marijuana. • Beginning Dec. 6 and until the Liquor Control Board rolls out its rules for the marijuana industry, possession of up to an ounce will be decriminalized at the state level. • Passage of Initiative 502 does not affect marijuana’s illegal federal status. Marijuana continues to be a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law and felony possession charges (intent to distribute) will be a possibility. • The law includes a marijuana equivalent to open container laws. It will be illegal to open a package of marijuana product in view of the general public. • The law divides the suppliers in the legal marijuana economy into
three general categories: producers, processors, and retailers. In other words, growers, packagers and sellers. Each will be separately licensed. The law prohibits producers and processors from having a financial interest in a retailer. • The licensing price for either a producer, processor or retailer will be $250 to apply, and $1,000 to renew per annum. • Every sale along the supply chain—producer to processor, processor to retailer, and retailer to consumer—will be taxed at a rate of 25 percent. • The Liquor Control Board will not issue a license for any marijuana supply premises within 1,000 feet of schools, daycares, playgrounds, recreation centers, public parks, public transit centers, libraries or arcades. • Cities and counties can submit an objection to the Liquor Control Board, based on an applicant’s “chronic illegal activity.” • You won’t be able to buy a joint at the corner convenience store: licensed retail outlets will be prohibited from selling anything other than marijuana products and paraphernalia. • The new legal term for a definite quantity of marijuana plants, useable marijuana, or marijuanainfused product is a “lot.” Every lot is uniform within recognized tolerances for the factors that appear on the product label. • Marijuana products will additionally be identified by a “lot number” which identifies the marijuana licensee by trade name and state unified business identifier number, and the date of harvest or processing for each lot.

The general theory of relevance a game-changing set of rules that not even they can argue with. Of course, their initial reaction was that this was simple. A wise person once said that it might be simple, but it’s not easy. They will find out the difference soon enough. So what were the tactics? By way of brief history, up until now, I have been somewhat of an A-type personality. I’m sure that comes as no shock to anyone. As you can imagine, the house was run with this type of structure. Teenage boys tend to miss the finer points of life like making their bed, picking up their rooms, and showering. This doesn’t get missed by an A-type, but it does now. No longer does word get mentioned when they run out of clothes. They know where the washer and dryer are and how to press start. They want to crawl out of their rooms over the piles? No problem. I shut the door. Let them learn for themselves how this is going to work when they go get a wife. My rules are all top level now. The rest I let go. These rules, however, are non-negotiable. There’s a value to everything. The currency is more freedom for the following: • At a bare minimum, they have to graduate high school. Without a high school education they are doomed to second-class citizenship. Nowhere does it say that have to get straight A’s — just graduate at or above the rules Rudi Alcott

Recently, I was talking to one of my good friends at Highline Community College, and he asked me if I had crossed the threshold. The threshold of what? Too much gray hair? Impotence? If it was the latter, I wasn’t sure I wanted to know. In fact, I know I don’t. No, it was the threshold of becoming stone-cold stupid in the eyes of my boys. And, indeed this had occurred, just two weeks prior. To say this has happened in the eyes of my boys is like saying the Titanic sprung a leak. Just a bit of an understatement. So where did it all go wrong? In this sojourn of parenting, for which there is no return ticket, at what point did I lose my way? Perhaps my GPS unit needs calibrating. Look, I get that I’m not the smartest adult male on the planet, but I also didn’t spring from the womb fully trained. I had to do something correct to get me to this point, right? Two years ago, I could have told them the sky was orange and you could eat dirt for your entire daily food intake, and they would have accepted that without hesitation. Advance two years, and now I am as dumb as a, well, box of dirt. As most things go in my life, when it gets interesting, I make a game out of it. What I lack for in book smarts, I make up for in street smarts. So, I have outflanked them. I came up with
as set forth by the state of Washington. Advanced education is at their discretion. I will pay for it, but if I do, we will talk about the grade thing then. • No addiction to drugs or alcohol. This is a game changer. It can and likely will ruin your life. It doesn’t say that they can’t sample this. They probably will. I get that. Every parent should. No one knows if they are an addict until after that first indulgence. After that, it is simply a choice. I have never taken the indulgence. I don’t want to ever have to make that choice. • No one gets pregnant or gets anyone pregnant until out of the house. We were in our early 30s before we had kids. It is tough now in my mid40s. I can’t imagine raising kids in my teenage years. • No felonies. This takes away your opportunities to get a good job, vote, and run for office, to name a few. The irony of running for office and a felony in the same sentence has not escaped me. • No one gets their car wrapped around a telephone pole/gets dead. I have way too much invested in this. At the very least, I’ll demand a refund for my return on investment. Five simple rules, yet a lifetime of knowledge. Perhaps I should look into that dirt eating issue. My food bill would certainly decrease. Nah, it’s too simple.

Federal Way schools join AP Honor Roll By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) joined 17 other Washington state school districts, and 539 nationally, with its inclusion on the College Board’s “AP Honor Roll.” Districts achieve this honor by increasing the number of students participating in Advanced Placement (AP) courses, while simultaneously increasing the number of students achieving a score of 3 or higher on the AP exams. Superintendent Rob Neu shared the news during the school board meeting on Nov. 13, saying this was the first time FWPS had been included in the Honor Roll’s three-year history. “We showed significant gains in the number of our students taking AP courses, and the test, and performing on those tests,” Neu said. “That’s quite the accomplishment. We joined a small list of Washington school districts to achieve this designation.” Other Washington state
school districts placed on the honor roll include the Auburn, Clover Park, Issaquah, Lake Washington, Snoqualmie, Steilacoom and Tahoma districts. The total number of 539 schools is the highest number for the Honor Roll’s short history. College Board president David Coleman said the improved numbers show the hard work of districts and educators. “We applaud the extraordinary efforts of the devoted teachers and administrators in these 539 districts, who are fostering rigorous work worth doing,” Coleman said. “These educators have not only expanded student access to AP course work, but they have enabled more of their students to achieve on a college level-which is helping to create a strong college-going culture.” In Federal Way, much of the increase in participation and testing results can probably be credited to the district’s Accelerated Academics program, which was instituted in recent years. That program automati-
cally enrolls students into advanced classes like AP or Cambridge, if students hit a certain metric on standardized testing. The program was intended to help increase the numbers of students of color that participate in the more advanced classes. According to district statistics, the program has been successful so far. Trevor Packer, the College Board’s senior vice president for the AP program, credited policies like Accelerated Academics for the increase in student participation in AP courses and exams across all socioeconomic and racial boundaries. “There has been a great victory among educators who have believed that a more diverse population could succeed in AP courses. In 2012, AP scores were higher than they’d been since 2004, when one million fewer students were being given access,” Packer said. “These outcomes are a powerful testament to educators’ belief that many more students were indeed ready and waiting for the

Economic and Revenue Forecast Council. In a report released Nov. 14, the council revealed an estimated $900 million shortfall for the state’s biennium budget for 2013-15, and a $1.1 billion shortfall predicted for the 2015-17 budget. Outgoing Gov. Christine Gregoire said that although the aforementioned numbers are grim, there are some signs that things are turning up for the state’s economy. “Housing is more affordable than it has been in a long time, and aerospace remains strong,” Gregoire said. “While we are seeing clear signs of recovery, economic growth remains slow, and we have to ensure that every Washingtonian who wants a job has one.” The two-term governor is preparing her final budget before handing over the reins to Governor-elect Jay Inslee. Gregoire said the $900 million figure is slightly better than a forecast issued by the Office of Financial Management (OFM) in August. The governor did note that the anticipated 2013-15 forecast doesn’t account for education funding, which the state Legislature was tasked with “fully funding” last year after the state Supreme Court’s decision in the McCleary case. “We have a shortfall even before we begin trying to address McCleary,” Gregoire said. “I’ve instructed state agencies and my fiscal staff to scrub the budget for every possible savings. But, as I’ve been saying for months, it will not be possible to solve this problem entirely with spending cuts.” OFM director Stan Marshburn echoed Gregoire’s thoughts. He said that trying to cut the fat from a budget that’s been trimmed down severely in the past couple of years is going to be difficult. “Needless to say, we’ve already taken many deep and painful program cuts the past few years,” he said. “Finding new places to cut will be very challenging.” Inslee spokesperson Jaime Smith said the governor-elect is going to be fighting an uphill battle in tackling these budget
issues in his first term. “There’s going to be a lot of conversations to be had about ways we will have to make efficiencies, and what the real priorities are that we have to fund,” Smith said. “There’s going to be a lot of hard choices to make. We just aren’t going to be able to afford all of the things we have been doing.”
Federal Way connection With the state budget in a constant flux for the past few years, cities like Federal Way have felt the crunch in their local budgets. This new forecast signals more of the same for the city, according to city spokesman Chris Carrel. “State government’s continued budget challenges have factored into the conservative approach the city has taken in developing the 2013/2014 budget,” he said. “During its 2012 session, the Legislature cut Liquor Excise Tax revenue sharing with the cities. For Federal Way, that reduced our state shared revenues $450,000 (per year) over the 2013/14 biennial budget. Not only have the 2012 state budget cuts hurt cities financially, there is a strong possibility that in addressing the budget shortfall next session, as well as the State Supreme Court order to increase education funding, legislators will take actions that further increase the financial challenges for cities like Federal Way.” Carrel said the city will continue to try and work with legislators to stop the bleeding. Significant and well known social services programs are still at risk. “The city will be working to convince legislators to resist further city revenue impacts and undo the recent cuts to revenue sharing with cities. Local services provided by cities are essential to the state’s well-being. Public safety is largely dependent on local police; more than half of all trips taken in the state occur on local roads built and maintained by cities; and economic development largely occurs in the cities. “Further cuts to cities will leave most Washingtonians worse off by impacting the local services that support quality of life,” he added.

to say to our community, thank you for doing that.” Board president Tony Moore thanked the voters for their willingness to approve the six-year, $60 million levy in these tumultuous economic times. “In times of turmoil, and financial calamity, it’s great to see the people who live in this city, telling our children, that they matter, and that the school they go to and the opportunities they have are important,” Moore said. “It is a big step to rebuild the facility, and I want to thank the voters.”
About the levy In the Nov. 6 election, the levy passed. The lastest results show the levy passing with 60 percent of the vote. The levy will collect $60 million over six years, and will add 92 cents per every $1,000 of assessed evaluation for Federal Way home and property owners. The levy will help fund improvements to the district’s security camera system and playground equipment at 19 elementary schools. Architecture firm SRG Partnership Inc. was selected to design the new school. Construction is expected to begin in 2014, and should last about three years. Some Federal Way homeowners may qualify for an exemption to the levy depending on age, disability and income.

Whooping cough epidemic update Mirror staff reports
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) reports that the whooping cough epidemic has slowed, with some areas of the state returning to pre-outbreak conditions. The disease is still active, and the DOH is reminding Washington residents of two things: infants are the most vulnerable, and vaccination is the best defense.
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, can last six weeks or more. Whooping cough is highly contagious and causes intense, sometimes violent coughing. The DOH notes that with more than 4,500 cases reported in 2012, it’s the largest outbreak of the disease in more than 70 years. Washington state has free vaccines available for children up to age 18. The state bought additional supplies of the vaccine to make it available to uninsured and underinsured adults. Call (800) 322-2588.

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ...
Planning for your parent’s senior care Here are ten ways for you to begin planning for your parent’s senior care. Discuss your parents’ wishes. You’ll need to know what your loved ones want before beginning the planning process. This will make the transition easier for everyone involved. Seek out local sources of information. Contact local retirement home staff, local government agencies on aging, your parents’ doctors or a geriatric care manager for answers to questions and industry standards. Help your parents assess their health. You can tell a lot about your loved
one’s future needs by determining where they are at physically, emotionally and mentally. Seek an assessment from their local health care provider. Include your siblings. To maintain family harmony, make sure that siblings and other important family members or friends are included. It will help alleviate the stress for you and your senior loved ones. Review the options. When you have some ideas about future care needs and options, begin by putting a plan in place. You may have to include multiple options depending on how circumstances in your loved one’s life could unfold.
Prepare for the inevitable. People are living healthier and longer lives than before. It is important that everyone, especially older loved ones, have a living will and make endof-life decisions in advance. Make sure you have support. Caregiver stress is a liability. If you need support, ask for it. Go to www.caregiverstress.com or 253.943.1603 for additional information.

Think about the continuum of care. Aging is a gradual process. Consider the types of care your loved ones need now, in the immediate future and long term. Don’t forget financing. More than half of adult children wrongfully believe that Social Security and Medicare will pay for senior care. Thirty-five percent believe their parents’ private pensions or retirement plan will pay. Check the fine print and consult your financial advisor for answers to the sometimes difficult questions. Help your parents adapt to their environment. Your parents will likely want to remain at home as long as possible. Make sure that their environment is safe and comfortable and allows them the flexibility to age in place.

After hours, calls should be placed to (800) 400-0749. King 5 meteorologist Jim Guy wrote on his blog on Monday morning that “a couple of weaker fronts will sweep through the state for showers at times this week,” and that “travelers should expect mainly rain in the lower passes (Monday) afternoon, but snow levels will likely fall to near 3,000 feet by Wednesday and down to 2,000 feet Wednesday night.” Those lower snow levels mean that passes like Stevens and White will see snow on those days. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) forecast for the Snoqualmie pass is similar, with the state
snow on the pass throughout the week, and that the snow levels for Snoqualmie may drop to approximately 2,000 feet by Wednesday night. Real-time updates are always available at www. wsdot.com. In anticipation of the holiday travel bump, the Port of Seattle lists a number of useful reminders for the half-million travelers expected to go through Sea-Tac airport during the holiday season. Among the Port’s recommendations are: • Plan in advance: the Port recommends travelers confirm travel details and make sure the names on their boarding pass and ID match. • Be conscious of security: Also recommended by the Port is to be aware of what the TSA does and does not allow in carry-on bags. That information
[ WALMART from page 1]
can be found on the TSA website. • Get boarding passes early: The Port recommends travelers print their boarding pass out from a computer, or use check-in kiosks at the airport. The port notes passengers with only carry-on baggage can go directly to the security checkpoint. Passengers with luggage can go to airline bag-check points. • Check status of flights online or via email notification: The Port offers a flight status page and also offers email alerts for flight statuses. • Arrive at least two hours before a flight: This is to ensure that travelers have plenty of time to get through security checkpoints, etc. • Park in the airport garage: The Port recommends this because of the garages close proximity to the main terminal of the airport.

FW woman is contestant on ‘The Price Is Right’ By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
Emmeline Aquino, come on down! The Federal Way resident was a contestant on “The Price Is Right.” Her episode airs at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 20, on CBS. Aquino and a friend recently attended a taping of the show at a Los Angeles area studio. After lining up for a pre-screening at 4 a.m. and waiting four hours, they finally joined the studio audience for a rollicking good time. “Just being in the crowd is awesome,” she said of the show’s atmosphere. “They really make it worthwhile. They make you feel like you’re in Hollywood.” Any audience member can be chosen as a contestant with the announcer’s signature “Come on down!” As the last
contestant picked for Tuesday’s show, Aquino nearly missed her shot. “I almost left the show early,” she said, recalling how that day’s adventure began before sunrise. Then, above all the screaming in the crowd, she heard her name being called. Aquino grew up watching the show and its guess-the-price games like Plinko, Lucky Seven, Punch a Bunch and 3 Strikes. When her name was called, she seized the moment. “At one point, when I realized I was running down the aisle, I thought, my goodness, after watching this throughout my childhood, it’s like a chance of a lifetime,” she said. “I kind of took my time. I strutted down the aisle.” She ended up qualifying for the Showcase Showdown and finished as runnerup. Aquino’s family planned to celebrate her national TV appearance this week. “My mom will have it ready for a Thanksgiving viewing party,” she said.

Camas bombs Federal Way in quarterfinals Unbeaten Papermakers put together a workmanlike dismantling of the secondranked Eagles, 65-32 By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The Federal Way Eagles’ dream season came to a crashing end Saturday night at a packed Doc Harris Stadium in Southwest Washington. The Camas Papermakers (12-0) clinically took apart the second-ranked and previously unbeaten Eagles, 65-32, in the quarterfinals of the Class 4A State Football Tournament. The Papermakers now advance to the state semifinals, where they will play the top-ranked Skyline Spartans inside the Tacoma Dome. Auburn, who Federal Way dismantled during the South Puget Sound League regular season, will play Bellarmine Prep in the other 4A semifinal. Federal Way ends their best season since 1976 with a 11-1 record and played most of the second half with a running clock against third-ranked Camas. It’s something that the Eagles have done to their opponents all season long. But this time, Federal Way was on the receiving end. The Papermakers scored 37 points in the second quarter, mostly thanks to the running of junior tailback Nate Beasley. Beasley finished with 249 yards on the ground and accounted for five touchdowns on the night. Camas led 51-17 at half. Federal Way’s high-powered offense and a defense that dominated opponents all season long just couldn’t get anything going Saturday. Camas controlled every aspect of the game, including the line of scrimmage. The Papermakers’ linemen on both sides of the ball pushed the Eagles up and down the field, allowing Beasley huge running lanes on offense

Camas jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead on a 22-yard run by Beasley and a 3-yard run by junior quarterback Reilly Hennessey just 2:10 into the first quarter. The Eagles seemed to right the ship after the quick start by the Papermakers with an impressive nine-play drive that netted a 35-yard field goal by Koby Craig. Junior Keenan Curran had 29 yards on the ground and a pair of Camas penalties accounted for 20 more yards during the drive. Federal Way’s defense then forced the lone Papermaker punt on their next possession. But it was all Camas from there. After the first of the Eagles’ six turnovers, Hennessey hit Dylan White on an 18-yard [ more EAGLES page 17 ]

Decatur grad Anthony Petruzzelli has given a verbal committment to play at the University of Vermont, starting in the fall of 2014. courtesy photo
In most college sports, the University of Vermont isn’t considered a powerhouse. But hockey is a different story. The Catamounts have put together one of the top programs in the nation and Anthony Petruzzelli will be on the ice in Vermont in the fall of 2014. The 2012 Decatur High School graduate gave the Catamounts a verbal commitment
earlier this month, according to his father, John Petruzzelli. Anthony Petruzzelli is currently playing hockey for the Brooks Bandits in the prestigious Alberta Junior Hockey League in Canada. The 5-foot10, 180-pounder leads the Bandits in goals scored with 15 and is second in total points with 26. Brooks is leading the South Division of the AJHL with an 18-0-0 record. This is his second season in Alberta. Petruzzelli was named the Rookie of the Year in the AJHL during the 2011-12 season after collecting 23 goals and 47 points in 59 games for Brooks. He scored four game-winning goals and was second in the [ more petruzzelli page 17 ]

She is the only high school senior who signed with the 10-time Division I national champions for their 2013-14 recruiting class. The Utes have no seniors on their current roster. “Baely is a good, solid allaround gymnast who was heavily recruited by some of the top teams in the country,” said Utah head coach Greg Marsden. “She is capable of contributing on all four events and will bring an entertainment quality to her floor routine that will ignite our fan base.” Rowe, who attends Auburn Riverside High School, will be the third member of her family to earn a scholarship to a Pac-12 Conference university. Her older sister, Bree, played soccer at Oregon and her older brother, Kelyn, was the Pac-12 Soccer Player of the Year in 2011 at UCLA. He was also the third-overall pick in last year’s Major League Soccer (MLS) SuperDraft by the New England Revolution and recently completed his rookie season. Both were graduates of Federal Way High School. “I would watch my brother and sister do classes for fun and then try and mimic what they were doing on the side,” Baely Rowe said about gymnasts. “So my parents decided to put me in gymnastics.” It has paid off. The University of Utah gymnastics
program is the only school to qualify for 37-consecutive NCAA National Championships, including 10 national titles. The Utes have placed in the top-three 22 times and made 18 Super Six appearances, which leads the nation. Utah is also the only school in the country to make the Super Six every year since 2000. Rowe will also be competing in front of the biggest crowds in college gymnastics. Utah holds every gymnastics attendance record, averaging more than 11,000 fans at home meets for the past 21 years. That number has risen to almost 14,000 for the past four years. Last year, Utah set an NCAA gymnastics attendance record by averaging 14,352 fans. Rowe has four top-10 all-around finishes at the Junior Olympics Nationals, placing third in 2009, ninth in 2010, seventh in 2011 and second in 2012. She won the Junior Olympics uneven bar title in 2010 and 2012, placed second on bars and floor in 2009 (when she made the Junior Olympics National Team) and was fourth on vault in 2011. Rowe won all four events and the all-around at the 2011 regionals and won vault, bars, floor and the all-around at the 2009 regionals. She finished seventh in the all-around at the 2012 Nastia Luikin Cup. She won vault and took fifth all-around at the 2009 U.S. Challenge. Rowe currently trains at Auburn Gymnastics Center

He is a great kid and most deserving of this scholarship. We are excited to be able to work with him for another season before he leaves for Vermont.” The Alberta Junior Hockey League is considered to be a Tier II organization in amateur hockey. To compare, the local Seattle Thunderbirds play in the Tier I Western Hockey League, one step below the NHL. Prior to joining the Bandits, Petruzzelli had a stellar season with the Helena (Mont.) Bighorns from
2010-11. He helped the Bighorns win the 2011 USA Hockey Tier III National Championship, along with the Cascade Cup and Northern Pacific Hockey League titles. In total, Helena finished with a eye-popping 70-3 overall record that season. During his stay in Helena, Petruzzelli was named the Rookie of the Year in the America West Divi-

Brown has established herself as one of the best young rowers in the world. She combined with Florida’s Christine Cavallo during the summer to row sion for the Bighorns. He finished the season with 46 goals and 55 assists for 101 points. “We were fortunate that he came from a great program in Helena and was detail oriented when he arrived in Brooks,” Papaioannou said. Petruzzelli started playing the sport of hockey in a learn-to-play program in Tacoma at the Sprinker Recreation Center as a 3-year-old until the Kent Ice Centre opened in 1999.

No other American women’s junior pair had ever medaled in the event before Brown and Cavallo, and the highest-ever finish in the event was sixth. “That was the most amazing experience of my life,” Brown said in Bulgaria. “I am so honored to be here right now.” Last spring, the University of Washington varsity eight finished up in seventh place in the overall standings at the NCAA Championships. The Huskies’ men’s team has won the last two national titles. Brown also won the United States Rowing Youth National Championship in the four-plus (four rowers and a coxswain) with the Commencement Bay Rowing Club on June 10 in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Petruzzelli spent eight years playing out of Kent, before heading to Seattle two years ago to play for the Seattle Junior Northwest Admirals.

Federal Way sophomore Chico McClatcher tallied the Eagles’ first touchdown of the day when he caught a pass from senior Evan Elliott and raced 80 yards through the Camas defense to make it 37-10. But Beasley added two touchdown runs to put the Papermakers over the 50-point mark with 2:28 remaining in the first half. Federal Way scored a late touchdown in the second quarter on a 5-yard Elliott to Marcel Morris pass to end the half, 51-17. Elliott finished 18 for 37 for 315 yards and four touchdowns, but also had four costly interceptions. Morris ended up with five catches for 91 yards and Aaron Persinger finished with five catches for 88 yards. McClatcher led Federal Way in rushing with 45 yards. The second half started much like the first. On Camas’ first possession, Beasley raced 51 yards around the right side of the Eagle defense to put the Papermakers up 58-17 and necessitate the running clock less than a minute into the third quarter, which occurs when a team leads by more than 40 points.

Beasley added a 12-yard touchdown catch from Hennessey, who finished 12 for 15 for 142 yards, to finalize Camas’ impressive night. The perfect execution on the field by the Papermakers wasn’t the only awe-inspiring performance Saturday. The off-the-field accomplishments in Camas were also impressive. Every seat on the Papermakers’ side of Doc Harris Stadium was filled with somebody wearing either red or black. Outside the stadium, trailer-size barbecue pits cooked burgers and kettle corn was popped fresh right in front of you. There was even a stand where you could buy a gyro. The Camas High School band was well over 100-students strong and all of them were donned in shiny outfits, top hats included, and sounded like they should be playing for a college football program, not at a high school. They even performed a precision halftime routine on the Doc Harris Stadium FieldTurf, marching in unison.

After a solid season for the Milwaukee Brewers, Federal Way High School graduate Travis Ishikawa is on the move. The Brewers outrighted Ishikawa to their Triple-A club Nashville, earlier this month. Ishikawa declined the assignment and became a free agent. The 29-year-old didn’t play a single Major League game in 2011 after a shoulder injury. Ishikawa mostly served as a pinchhitter and defensive replacement at first Travis Ishikawa base for the Brewers after coming off the disabled list on June 25 after being sidelined since May with a left oblique strain. The injury was a heart-breaker for Ishikawa. He had taken over as the Brewers’ starting first baseman after the team’s previous starter, Mat Gamel, suffered a torn ACL in his knee May 2 while chasing down a foul ball. On the season, Ishikawa hit .257 with four home runs, 30 RBIs and 19 runs in 152 at bats. Ishikawa had an impressive August for the Brewers. During the month, he played in 17 games and hit .353 in mostly pinch-hitting appearances. After spending nine seasons with the San Francisco Giants, Ishikawa signed a minor league deal with the Brewers in December after shoulder surgery in June on his nonthrowing arm. He suffered the injury while playing for the Fresno Grizzlies, the Giants’ AAA affiliate. Ishikawa was a Giants’ draft pick out of Federal Way in 2002 and played 281 games for the team since 2006. He has a lifetime batting average of .264 with 19 home runs, 110 RBIs, 40 doubles in 740 at-bats for San Francisco and Milwaukee. Ishikawa spent a bulk of the 2009 season as the Giants’ everyday first baseman after an impressive spring training. During that season, Ishikawa hit .261 with nine home runs and 39 RBIs in 120 regular season games. • The Federal Way Mod Soccer Association’s girls under-9 Renegades finished unbeaten at the Turkey Jamboree recently in Fife. The team includes Malia Ili, Kyla DeLaCruz, Lauren Otto, Bella Raflowski, Jillian Whiting, Katie Ray, Lauren Kreckman, Kaydence Johnson and Kenadee Aegerter.

[22] November 23, 2012 “I went solo to San Diego. [ HIKER from page 1] Hinkle was a lifelong resident of Federal Way until 2007, when he began attending the University of Washington and living in Seattle. Hinkle, 23, attended Valhalla Elementary and Totem Middle School and then graduated from TJ in 2007. He received a degree in earth and space sciences from UW last year. At the start of his journey, Hinkle went to San Diego and began the hike by himself.
I did meet some guys, two Canadians and a guy from North Dakota…in Big Bear, California. We hiked the whole thing together from there,” he said. The most difficult thing for Hinkle during his trip came at the beginning. “Getting over the aches and pains and the blisters and all that stuff. Getting over the fact that tomorrow, you’re going to wake up sore, and still have to walk to town,” he said with a chuckle. “Once I was able
www.federalwaymirror.com to get over that, it was really easy.” Hinkle said he knew his conditioning had finally got to the right place when he and his three companions took a side trip to summit California’s Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the lower 48 states of the U.S. “As I was going up there, I felt so good. We were basically jogging and moving past all the people who were day hikers who were going up there. I just felt like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m in the best shape in my life,

Thomas Jefferson High School grad Alex Hinkle as seen on the Pacific Crest Trail. COURTESY PHOTO and this is easy,’” he said. “That was the epiphany for me that I could do this.” One of the comforts Hinkle received on the trail was getting regular care packages from his girlfriend, Sydney Barloon. Those care packages would include sports pages from local papers, and delicious items like candy bars, Hinkle said. Even though the hike meant he would be gone from Barloon for an entire summer, Hinkle said she was supportive. “She’d always been supportive of it. She was a little nervous about me being gone for so long,” he said. Hinkle also credited his
parents, Lisa and Greg, for making his trip possible. “I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them and their help,” he said. The end of the journey came when Hinkle and his companions ran into snowstorms just short of the Canadian border. “We woke up to about six inches of snow around our tent. The wind had been gusting all night long… in the middle of the night, when the wind was gusting, one of my tent poles poked through the top of my tent and ripped a six-inch hole down the side of my tent,” Hinkle said. “We had four straight days where we were
walking through snow so I had to bunk up with one of my buddies in a single person tent, so we basically had to cuddle for four days.” Hinkle said he’d like to try a similar trip in the future, but would want to try and traverse the Continental Divide Trail. It may not be for some time, though, as the 23-year-old now finds himself trying to find a job and make money, he said. His advice to anyone who finds such outdoor activities enticing is simple. “If you have the opportunity to do something like this,” he said, “don’t be afraid to try and do it.”
