Schools brace for cuts in federal funding

Costliest project in the city’s history?

Developer proposes arts center for $31.7 million

By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council heard a proposal for a performing arts center with an estimated price tag of $31.7 million.

Supporters of the arts center say

the project will be the catalyst that transforms downtown Federal Way. The biggest obstacles, however, are money and time. If the proposal comes to fruition, the performing

arts and conference center (PACC) would become the most expensive project of its kind in city history.

Of the two vacant parking lots near the transit center, the PACC is

If Congress fails to act, sequestration will begin March 1

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) receives approximately $18 million a year from federal funding, and the looming threat of federal sequestration is weighing heavy on district leaders’ minds.

Sequestration refers to the legal procedure of automatic across-theboard spending cuts in the federal budget.

Sally McLean, assistant superintendent of business services, touched on the subject in her early discussions on budget development for the 2013-14 school year.

McLean said at the board’s Feb. 12 meeting that things could get rocky in the coming years. If Congress fails to act, sequestration will begin March 1, although guarantees have been

Park Pals moved a step closer to building a rain shelter at Federal Way’s off-leash dog park.

Last December, the non-profit Park Pals joined forces with Petco’s annual Tree of Hope fundraiser to offer pet photos with Santa.

Bolstered by other donations from Petco customers, the store presented a check to Park Pals on Friday for $5,493.63.

The proceeds will go toward construction of a rain shelter.

Park Pals still needs to raise more money for the gazebo-like structure, which will measure 14 feet by 16 feet and cost roughly $25,000.

Michael Jankowski, general manager for Federal Way Petco, said Park Pals plays a vital role for pet owners in the community.

Some of the non-profit organization’s past projects include the installation of a new bench, a doggie drinking fountain and engraved “tribute bricks” at the 10-acre French Lake Park.

“I was really impressed with what they’re doing,” Jankowski said. “We just want to get the word out and get some exposure for the park. Anything we can do to help.”

Established seven years ago, the off-leash area at French Lake Park is located on 1st Avenue South between South 320th Street and South 312th Street.

intended for the former Toys R Us property. In 2010, the city bought the 4-acre site with a state grant worth $5 million. As a condition, the PACC must be built within 10 years, or the city must pay back the money with interest. [ more ARTS CENTER, page 10 ]

Guns in schools: Debate divides the community

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

NEWS

UPDATE

National, state and local responses are still being discussed in the wake of last year’s Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.

It appears that at least in Federal Way, the community is somewhat divided on the best response to the fateful events of Dec. 14, 2012, when a gunman murdered 20 children and six adult staff members at the Connecticut school.

Mark Knapp, a local firearm enthusiast and Second Amendment advocate, presented an idea to the Federal Way School Board during the board’s Feb. 12 meeting.

Knapp said he thinks one way to prevent a Sandy Hook-like tragedy is to have teams of armed volunteers in the schools.

“Many of you may not realize that federal and state law enable the district to authorize folks that are not law enforcement to actually be armed and protect our kids and our school personnel,” Knapp said. “I want to share some concepts that supplement the district’s existing school safety measures.”

Knapp said he’d like to see volunteer groups who are trained with firearms to be allowed on school grounds. These volunteers, he said, would receive their training on their own time and money, and would have to pass similar competency tests as those given to law enforcement officers.

“I’m personally convinced that this supplemental staff, if I could use that term, is the most effective way to protect the schools without immense costs to the [ more GUNS, page 3 ]

Mirror staff reports

Federal Way police are searching for a man who robbed Jamba Juice with a hypodermic needle.

Two employees were on duty Monday morning at Jamba Juice, 1413 S 348th St. in The Crossings shopping center. Around 6:40 a.m., a white male suspect entered the store and demanded cash. The suspect displayed a hypodermic needle and, according to police, stated “Do you want AIDS?” The male employee retreated. The suspect grabbed the cash drawer, emptied its contents and fled on foot.

A witness alerted police to the direction where the suspect fled. Officers pursued with a K-9 unit but did not find the suspect, according to police. The suspect was described as a white male, about age 20, with a thin build. He wore a black motorcycle helmet with silver markings.

There were no injuries reported by the two Jamba Juice employees. The investigation is ongoing (as of press time).

Federal Way police are searching for a man accused of groping a 9-year-old girl at Walmart. The suspect was described by Federal Way police as a Hispanic male, 5-feet-7-inches tall, with a chubby build, black hair, glasses, and a black leather trench coat.

The incident took place Feb. 10 at the Walmart Supercenter, 34520 16th Ave. S. According to police, the unidentified suspect entered the store alone and appeared to target a 9-year-old girl walking in the store with her mother. Police indicated that the man “groped the female child as he walked past her in an aisle.”

According to police, the man was followed both inside and out of the store by the young girl’s parents and store employees. The man is said to have left the area in a “dark colored passenger car with a sunroof.” Anyone with information can contact Det. Matthew Leitgeb at (253) 835-6783 or matthew.leitgeb@cityoffederalway.com.

Leaders lobby for metal theft laws

By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com

Elected officials from Federal Way are pushing for state legislation intended to reduce metal theft.

The problem has increased alongside the rising costs of scrap metal.

Federal Way reported a loss of $110,000 in 2012 from copper wire theft.

In May, thieves stole about 4 miles of copper wire from Sound Transit’s Link track in Tukwila. Earlier this month, two men were arrested after stealing nearly $100,000 in metal from a Tacoma rail yard.

A copper wire theft of $100 can cost $5,000 or more to repair, according to the Department of Energy.

A public hearing was held Feb. 5 for House Bill 1552, co-sponsored by State Rep. Roger Freeman (D-District 30). Mayor Skip Priest and Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell lobbied before the House Committee on Public Safety.

Taxpayers ultimately pick up the cost of metal theft, which can have a ripple effect on the community. In August 2012, after thieves wiped out the lighting system at Celebration Park, a soccer tournament was almost canceled.

State Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirkland) is taking the lead on the metal theft bill, which proposes to: • Create a licensing system for scrap metal businesses and expand criminal penalties for metal theft and

malicious mischief.

• Allow for civil forfeiture for any property used in the commission of a crime involving stolen scrap metal.

• Create a database for scrap metal businesses to determine whether a seller has a criminal conviction.

• Create the Washington Metal Theft Prevention Authority.

The bill was set to go to executive session Feb. 14 (at press time). The bill is still in the committee process and no vote has been taken.

State Sen. Tracey Eide (D-District 30) proposed Senate Bill 5413 that will “expand metal theft provisions relating to costs to repair physical damage, penalties, and seizure and forfeiture,” according to Eide’s office. The bill awaits scheduling for a hearing.

Tourism dollars Federal Way is concerned about losing money for tourism promotion. Legislation regarding the use of hotel-motel tax revenues will sunset on June 30.

At a Feb. 13 meeting of the city’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, managers from three local hotels said they were booked solid during the swimming events at the King County Aquatic Center. If the legislation expires in June, the city would lose the ability to provide seed money for these types of events. Doherty said the legislation protects “local decision making on locally derived dollars.”

King County launches plan to insure 180,000

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Students lobby in Olympia

Thomas Jefferson and Federal Way high schools rallied together Feb. 6 to voice the rights of immigrants. 50 students from each high school attended Lobby Day in Olympia. They met with Gov. Jay Inslee and State Rep. Roger Freeman to voice their support of the Dream Act, Voters Rights Act, and increased funding for ELL and drivers licenses. COURTESY PHOTO

Man pleads guilty to 2011 murder in FW Mirror staff reports

An Auburn man pleaded guilty to a February 2011 murder in Federal Way. Michael Ray Fiorini, 28, pleaded guilty earlier this month to first-degree murder with a firearm enhancement for breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment in Federal Way, then shooting her boyfriend.

Christopher D. Johnson, 27, died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.

Prosecutors are recommending the maximum sentence of 31 and a half years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for 2 p.m.

April 11 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.

According to charging papers, the former girlfriend and Fiorini lived together after high school, but broke up in 2004 fol-

King County Executive Dow Constantine announced a plan to try and enroll 180,000 King County residents into affordable health care coverage, a move prompted by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

“Our goal is nothing less than the full enrollment of those uninsured who will become eligible for health insurance next year,” Constantine said in his 2013 State of the County

Address. “Together we will create a ‘culture of coverage’ in King County.”

According to the Executive’s office, 180,000 King County residents will become eligible for subsidized health insurance or Medicaid under the ACA in 2014, and may not know it.

To maximize that enrollment, Constantine is creating a Leadership Circle from business, labor, education, health care and community organizations to “lead outreach in the sectors,” advise on the project, and help develop outreach strategies.

Constantine named three cochairs for what’s termed the Leadership Circle: Tom Gibbon, manager of the Community Specialty Clinic

February 15, 2013 [5] at Swedish Medical Center; Maud Daudon, President and CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce; and Gordon McHenry Jr., Executive Director of the nonprofit Solid Ground.

Enrollment begins Oct. 1, 2013, and the county’s Equity and Social Justice Team is mobilizing every county agency with direct contact with the public to inform uninsured residents of the chance to enroll.

“Federal health care reform was hard-won,” Constantine said.

“Thanks to this historic change, we can connect people to effective preventative care early, rather than expensive treatment later.”

lowing a domestic violence incident. The two remained in periodic contact.

At about 3:15 a.m. Feb. 24, 2011, Fiorini broke the sliding glass door to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment at the Habitat Condominiums at 33005 18th Place S. in Federal Way. He confronted his ex-girlfriend, 27, who was lying on the couch. He pointed a gun at her and told her to “shut up.”

Johnson, who had been sleeping in the bedroom, came out and approached them. Fiorini shot Johnson in the chest, according to charging papers. Police found Johnson on the bedroom floor. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

A K-9 unit tracked Fiorini from the apartment to some bushes where he was hiding, about one-tenth of a mile east of the crime scene. Fiorini was armed with a 9-mm pistol; police found a spent cartridge case in the chamber of the gun.

Thank you for highlighting Special Olympics This letter is to let you know how much sports editor Casey Olson and his work are appreciated.

He has spent so much time reporting on sports of all levels happening here in Federal Way, from Little League to high school and everything in between. While all kids (and parents) love to see their name in print and maybe even be lucky enough to get a photo, the edition featuring Special Olympics basketball on Feb. 1 brought more smiles than I think all the other articles combined (at least in my house).

My son was one of the lucky ones to get the front page photo and I’ve never seen him so proud. He carried it around for a few days to show it off and keeps a copy next to his bed. He even autographed it when asked. Cody loves basketball and this was the icing on the cake.

Thanks, Casey, for bringing awareness to the large population of kids that play Special Olympics sports here in Federal Way. Looking forward to more stories featuring our special kids.

Shelly Peterson, Federal Way

Do the math on this arts center At the Feb. 11 special city council meeting to discuss the progress of the performing arts and conference center (PACC), they pointed to a survey in 2008 conducted by the National Citizen Survey that had several questions that had to do with “What is the single most important thing the City of Federal Way can do to make this a better place to live?”

FW City Council lacks diversity Since the selection of Diana Noble-Gulliford and Kelly Maloney as the two newest members of the Federal Way City Council, the level of discussion around town regarding the council’s action has increased.

Both will be up for election this fall, as will longtime Councilmember Jeanne Burbidge.

Behind the scenes, the council has received some criticism. Some in the community were surprised that the council chose two conservative white females, when the field included minority men and women, and moderates, with good resumes.

The third finalist for the vacant council seats was a conservative white male. No Democrats, even though the community leans Democratic.

No minorities, even though the community speaks more than 100 different languages.

There isn’t any specific criticism about Noble-Gulliford and Maloney as individuals.

They may be the best candidates, but there is a concern that with two positions available, more effort could have been given to a broader community representation.

But if other candidates with more ethnic and political diversity were considered, the public doesn’t know it because the important part of the process was done outside public view in an executive session.

Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell said the executive session was appropriate because they didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings and wanted to be able to speak candidly. But now we don’t know why candidates, seemingly as qualified as those selected, were not nominated or even mentioned in the public discussion.

Due to the tied voting among the three finalists, it’s unlikely that there was an inappropriate agreement on who to appoint. Since there weren’t any other nominations, we don’t know why some other candidates were apparently eliminated.

And the diversity of opinion might be particularly important as the community considers its priorities throughout the election season. What is your vision of our community? Do you want to close the Community Center, as some recently suggested?

The SCORE jail is clearly a significant drain on the city budget. Should the city consider an alternative?

Do you want a performing arts center? Is the city doing enough for its less fortunate? How is City Hall adjusting to its many non-English speaking residents?

The mayor and council decry their inability to provide more services as they continue to cut the budget, but they also emphasize how low our taxes are. Although there was some minor improvement in the staffing at the Community Center, the major area of consistent support by the council is police. Is that really all that is important to the community? Or do you think a city of almost 90,000 residents deserves more?

Are you willing to pay more money for more services? Or should the city re-prioritize its current expenditures?

The selection process gives Noble-Gulliford and Maloney a stronger position, and Burbidge is extremely well known, but that doesn’t ensure they won’t have competition. The most likely candidates to run against them are [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ] Bob Roegner

As leaders of the Reach Out shelter programs here in Federal Way, we wish to thank Pastor Jo Lembo for a fine presentation on human trafficking at our general information meeting last week.

Jo did a wonderful job, in the short-allotted time, to tell us what we can safely do to free victims. Learn more at www.warn-trafficking.org.

We are truly grateful to the hosts of the meeting, St. Luke’s Lutheran Church. St. Luke’s is among a group of 26 churches that financially contribute and/or provide meal services to our homeless clients. St. Luke’s also provides clean blankets during our winter shelter season.

We continue to be grateful to our host churches Calvary Lutheran, Steel Lake Presbyterian and Our Savior’s Baptist and New Hope (screening and counseling location) who are anchor churches for the programs.

We look forward to serving both single men and women for five months again next winter, but it will take the help of the broader community, supporting our fund drives, to make it happen.

On March 25, we will hold a second annual Rollermania event where families, friends, businesses, schools, service clubs, church groups or any combinations of the above come together for fun and to raise money for needed services for next winter.

To learn more about Rollermania, continue to check our website frequently as updates will be posted as available: www.reachoutfederalway.org Also, our annual breakfast is scheduled for Sept.

24, 2013. Please save the date. Thank you, Federal Way, for your ongoing generous support.

Thank you for presentation on human trafficking

● L E T T E r S - Y o u r opinion C o u nts :

To submit an item or photo for publication: email editor@federalwaymirror.com. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length.

One question/statement said “use city funds to build a (performing arts center) in downtown to spur economic development and growth.” 62 percent of the survey’s participants agreed with that statement, so let’s do the math. 62 percent of 562 total participants = 348 348 divided by 88,000 residents = .00395 percent of the total city residents.

It was not mentioned

whether or not all participants were actually residents of Federal Way. Should 348 people’s choice on a survey be a gauge as to how we as a community spend $35 million? While yes, the economy is chugging its way back, is this the right project for now without better data regarding interest from the community’s residents as a whole and not

a select few who are pushing for this?

If this project is important to the community’s future, then let the community decide at the ballot box, not some pre-economic crash survey. The city council, if they believe this is the right project, should get out of council chambers and take their pitch out to the community in a forum larger than 30 people and

sell it. Yes, Federal Way needs a centerpiece. This would draw people to the city and generate revenue.

The only other concern is size. The discussion was for the theater to be a 540- to 700-seat auditorium. Why not 1,000 seats? There was nothing mentioned about drawing big-name entertainment like that of the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma. Far more community engagement should be required.

We have a two-party system in this state and nation to ensure all viewpoints are considered before we choose.

All would bring similar skills and political leanings to the race.

They are all good candidates, but as one City Hall watcher noted with humor, “three white conservative female incumbents being challenged by three white conservative males. Gosh, how do you choose?”

With that lineup, the debate about Federal Way’s future might lack the dynamic considerations this diverse community deserves.

[10] February 15, 2013 [ ARTS CENTER from p. 1] able arts center, but leave Seattle-based developer Lorax Partners estimates that a 700-seat arts center with a 3,000-square-foot conference space could cost about $31.7 million.

Preliminary designs include green landscapes and up to 170 parking spots, along with an option to build a 120-unit hotel.

Lorax executive P.J. Santos told the city council during a Feb. 11 meeting that the arts center will drive demand for hotel space, as evidenced from developments in cities such as Bremerton.

“This is not just a building,” Santos said. “It’s an incredible engine.”

With a lack of funding sources, the city could consider several options.

A property tax excess levy could raise the money if approved by voters who are willing to pay an extra $20 to $40 per year. Other revenue sources include more state grants and selling the theater’s naming rights.

The city’s director of economic development, Patrick Doherty, said the completed project may require a city subsidy of up to $200,000 a year.

In addition, the city has not determined whether a public or private entity would run the PACC. During the council meeting, Doherty outlined the process for building the center. First comes the land use application and schematics, followed by commissioning the construction drawings. Each step could take up to a year, depending on the availability of money.

The project itself would take on a “pay-as-you-go” approach. “It’s a step by step process,” Doherty said.

City Councilwoman Susan Honda inquired on whether Lorax could design a smaller and more afford-

room for future expansion.

Santos said the current design with 700 seats reflects the city’s stated goals for building a quality venue from the start.

Councilwoman Dini Duclos suggested that if the arts center had a non-profit status, more grant money would be available.

The city council will discuss the proposal at its March 9 retreat.

“This would be the most expensive venture the city has ever undertaken,” Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell told The Mirror. “I’m very interested in hearing what the public has to say at this time about this project, considered in light of these estimated costs.”

Other big municipal projects in recent Federal Way history include the Community Center, which opened in 2007 and cost about $20 million.

Joann Piquette, president of the Federal Way Coalition for the Performing Arts, said arts groups from the community are willing to volunteer and donate toward the future PACC. She is optimistic that the project will one day become a reality.

“Many, many people are ready for this to go forward,” Piquette told The Mirror. She noted the potential ripple effect that a long-awaited PACC can have on the city’s economy.

“It takes something like that before Federal Way can truly become a first-class city.”

In 2008, a survey revealed 62 percent of 562 respondents favored the construction of a performing arts center in Federal Way. Two examples for the city include the Edmonds Center for the Arts as well as McIntyre Hall, a performance and conference center in Mt. Vernon.

Mat Classic: Federal Way’s wrestling couple

Federal Way’s Bianca Arizpe and Decatur’s Nick Karis hope to celebrate their anniversary with a pair of state championships

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Bianca Arizpe and Nick Karis are the first couple of wrestling in Federal Way. This weekend marks the final time Arizpe and Karis will strap on their wrestling singlets in high school. The pair hopes to watch each other stand atop the podium as state champions. Arizpe is a senior on the Federal Way High School girls team and Karis is a senior at Decatur.

Federal Way High School senior Bianca Arizpe is 24-2 on the season and the topranked 118-pound girl wrestler entering the Mat Classic. file photo

The duo have a combined record of 68-3 this season and enter the Mat Classic as the prohibitive favorites in their respective weight classes.

The 25th anniversary of the state wrestling championships kicks off at 10 a.m. Friday inside the Tacoma Dome.

The pair both won regional championships and are the No. 1-ranked wrestlers in their weight classes by WashingtonWrestlingReport. com. The pair “officially” started dating on Karis’ birthday last year, and will celebrate their 11-month anniversary Saturday, the day state title matches are held inside the Tacoma Dome.

“It would be memorable and feel so fulfilling,” Arizpe said. “It would be a relief to finally meet our goal of winning a state championship. Since last year, we have both been saying that we are going to win state.”

During last year’s Mat Classic, Arizpe finished

in fifth place and Karis lost in the 160-pound championship match. The finishes made the pair even hungrier to stand atop the podium in Tacoma. They watch each other’s matches and give advice.

“He notices some things that I can fix and I work on some positions with him,” Arizpe said.

“He’s helped me with a couple moves. I like to think that I help him motivation-wise. We wrestle around on the carpet and he wrestles with my brother and nephews and stuff all the time.”

“She made me a lot better, too,” Karis said.

“She pushed me to go to a lot of tournaments during the summer.”

Karis also played an instrumental role back in August when Arizpe’s father, Fred, unexpectedly died following complications from his second liver transplant. [ more couple page 13 ]

Gymnastics: Jefferson, Decatur seniors hoping their ride Decatur back at state ends with a state wrestling title

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way school district will have two teams representing it at the State Gymnastics Championships Friday and Saturday inside the Tacoma Dome’s Exhibition Hall.

The Thomas Jefferson Raiders and Decatur Gators both finished in second place in the team standings at last weekend’s District Championships. The Raiders (169.7) ended up behind Emerald Ridge (176.375 points) at the Class 4A district meet Saturday at Mount Rainier High School and the Gators finished behind Enumclaw in the Class 3A meet.

The Raiders’ return to the fourteam Class 4A team championships after a one-year absence.

Jefferson was edged out of a state berth last season by a little over a

point by Mount Rainier.

Jefferson senior Monica Church led the way for the Raiders. She finished fifth in the all-around (35.5) and also tied for third on the floor exercise with a 9.6.

Joining Jefferson and Emerald Ridge in the four-team race for the Class 4A team title will be Woodinville and Newport.

Woodinville won the District 2/4 championship with 177.3 points, followed by Newport (170.4).

Federal Way will have one gymnast at the Class 4A state meet. Tia Thomas tied for third on the floor exercise Saturday with a 9.6 and will compete in the event in Tacoma. Beamer’s lone representative at state will be Carissa Clark, who will compete on the vault.

This will be Decatur’s first ap[ more gymnastics page 13 ]

A record 25 wrestlers will compete at this weekend’s Mat Classic

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The four seniors who will represent Decatur High School at the Mat Classic state wrestling tournament this weekend inside the Tacoma Dome have been through a lot together.

Nick Karis, Spencer Smith, Rowland Gaydosh and Kyle Gleed have all shed blood, sweat and tears inside the Gator wrestling room during their four-year careers under the tutelage of head coach Mike Bressler.

This weekend will be the last ride for the Decatur foursome.

The Mat Classic will celebrate

Spencer Smith

Rowland Gaydosh

its silver anniversary this weekend inside the Tacoma Dome Friday and Saturday.

The Mat Kyle Gleed Classic, which is best described as a wrestling extravaganza, draws nearly 900 wrestlers from every nook and cranny of the state, over 25,000 fans and media from more than 125 newspapers, television and radio stations. The grapplers,

both boys and girls, compete on 24 wrestling mats strewn across the humongous Tacoma Dome floor.

“The first time I went, I was insanely nervous,” said Gaydosh, who finished second at 170 pounds a year ago and is wrestling at 195 this season. “This year, we just want to finish it off.”

All four matriculated through Lakota Middle School before stepping into the halls at Decatur.

Karis, Gaydosh and Gleed were even in the same kindergarten class at Adelaide Elementary.

“I’m the outcast who went to Twin Lakes,” joked Smith, the Gators’ 182-pounder, who is 30-7 on the season.

And just like always, the foursome will all have the same goal when they step on the wrestling mat for the last time together this [ more mat classic page 13 ]

pearance as a team at the eight-team Class 1A/2A/3A State Gymnastics Championships. The Gators have competed before at the Class 4A meet and finished in second-place back in 1995.

This year’s Decatur team finished with 168.65 points during the district meet at Mount Rainier Saturday.

Enumclaw dominated the meet with 179.425 points and also having four of the top-five finishers in the allaround.

The Gators were led by Anna Paradee and Allison Sherwin.

Paradee finished in third place on the vault with a 9.425 and was also third on the balance beam with a 9.25. Sherwin ended up fifth on the bars with an 8.125.

Weekend passes are $15 for adults, $10 for students and senior citizens.

[ couple from page 12] “He has been there during the toughest time in my life,” Arizpe said about Karis.

Last year was the first time Fred Arizpe was able to watch his daughter compete inside the Tacoma Dome. Complications from his first liver transplant keep him away during her freshman and sophomore seasons, when she finished fifth and fourth, respectively.

“There’s been a change in her this season,” said Federal Way head coach Travis Mango. “This season is all about family for her with her mom and her brother.

It’s amazing how much she cared for (her dad). This is going to be a special one for her. I truly hope she can stand on top of that podium.”

Arizpe’s younger brother, freshman Leviticus, will also wrestle at the Mat Classic this season after winning the 113-pound regional championship last week for Decatur.

“Leviticus also wants to win so bad for my dad,” she said. “He was like our biggest fan.”

Karis also experienced tragedy during his high school wrestling career.

One of his best friends,

Robert “Hurricane” Harris, drowned in Lake Tapps during a family outing in September 2011. Harris was a stand-out wrestler at Decatur.

“That really pushes us to go harder,” Karis said.

There is a possibility that the girlfriend-boyfriend combination will continue their wrestling careers at the same place next fall.

Both Arizpe and Karis leave Monday to head down to Menlo College in California to visit the campus and take a tour of the wrestling facilities at the school.

Arizpe has already signed her National Letter of Intent to attend Menlo, but Karis is still up in the air about where he will wrestle next season. He has received interest from Division I programs like Arizona State and Boise State.

“It would be awesome if Nick also goes to Menlo,” Arizpe said with a smile.

“We would be able to help each other to be focused on school and then wrestling.

We could keep each other in line.”

For now, however, the first couple of Federal Way wrestling is just focused on bringing home a pair of state championships this weekend.

The Decatur boys crowned a regional-best four individual champions last weekend at Bonney Lake High School, compared to one by Enumclaw.

Karis and Gleed were joined on top of the podium by teammates Leviticus Arizpe at 113 pounds and sophomore Isaiah Diggs at 138.

Tysten Dawson (113), Christian Aragon (145), Smith (182) and Gaydosh (195) all finished in second place. Both Gaydosh and Smith enter state ranked third in their respective weight classes, as does Diggs.

Arizpe will be joined by Federal Way teammates Luaipou Lologo (155 pounds), Jacklyn Baules (170) and Jessica Cabanada (190) in Tacoma.

The group won last weekend’s regional team championship. Lologo enters the Mat Classic as the secondranked 155-pounder behind Lakes’ Kiaya Vanscoyoc, who pinned Lologo (22-3) in the regional championship match late in the third round.

The Beamer boys will carry a busload of wrestlers to the Tacoma Dome Friday morning. The Titans qualified seven after finishing a surprising third at the Class 4A Region II Tournament. Leading the list is regional champion Jordan Rhodes at 113 pounds, who is 24-12 during the season. Other Titan qualifiers are Malik Messiah (106), Brett Dykman (113), Haftem Tafere (126), Sean VanEarwage (138), Mitchell Owens (160) and K.J. Skannal (220). Dykman is 33-8 on the year and Owens, a freshman, is 30-10.
