Parents to FWPS: System is wrong By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
Another year, another round of confusion and displeasure about Federal Way Public Schools’ standards based grading (SBG) system. The first rumblings about this year’s iteration of SBG came at the Oct. 15 school board meeting, with parent Michael Scuderi pointing out that part of the SBG grading algorithm, known as the Power Law, caused a weird skewing of grades. At the Oct. 25 school board meeting, a number of parents and one student voiced their concerns about SBG and its effect on students, parents and teachers. Carrie Newcombe, a parent, said the district’s constant tinkering with the grading system over the past few years has really shortchanged the district’s consumers: students and parents. “I cannot express enough my frustration and disappointment in this new grading system, [ more PARENTS, page 14 ]

School district defends grading By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
The controversial standards based grading (SBG) system is back on the radar in Federal Way. As rumblings started spreading throughout the various school communities about more hiccups with SBG, the district had Decatur principal Dave Brower give a presentation at the Oct. 29 school board meeting on what
the grading system is — and how the district believes it should work. “We have to talk about grades as communication,” Brower said. “The purpose of grades is to communicate a student’s current level of progress…. And so the focus has to be on the learning they need. What they need to learn, know and do to be able to be successful.” The initial motivation for replacing the traditional grading system
with SBG was to improve the district’s graduation rate, which currently hovers just above 70 percent. SBG went into effect in the fall of 2011, and sparked a public debate over its strengths and shortcomings. In addition, some teachers have had a difficult time explaining the grading system to parents and students who don’t understand it. According to Brower and the district, SBG allows for a more precise level of [ more GRADING, page 14 ]
Brain tumor doesn’t stop a dream Decatur High School student Dom Cooks scores a touchdown By CASEY OLSON colson@fedwaymirror.com
Dominique Cooks is the epitome of perseverance. The 18-year-old Decatur High School student was a stud, 220-pound defensive lineman for the Gators’ football team and the definition of a “power guard” on the basketball court. To illustrate how talented he was on the gridiron, Decatur head coach Leon Hatch made the rare call to have Cooks play on the line as a ninth-grader during the 2010 football season and start all year as a sophomore. The future was more than bright for Cooks. “Football was going to be the sport for me,” Cooks said. “I did my thing out there. I like the aggressiveness of the sport. I always worked hard.” But life hit Cooks like a bonecrushing tackle during the spring of 2012. That’s when doctors discovered a malignant, inoperable brain tumor. The diagnosis has obviously changed Cooks’ perspective on life, as well as sports. Since being diagnosed, Cooks has battled the brain tumor for the last year and a half with the same perseverance that he used in sports. The left side of his body is now pretty much useless and he spends a lot of his time in a wheelchair.
Decatur High School senior Dom Cooks celebrates after scoring a touchdown during the Oct. 25 homecoming football game against Auburn Mountainview. Cooks was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in April 2012. CASEY OLSON, Federal Way Mirror “At the beginning of the school year, doctors told me that I had three to six months to live,” Cooks said. “But nobody is going to tell me stuff like that. Before I got this tumor, I was going to the NBA or the NFL. That’s still what I’m going to do. Can’t nobody tell me any different. I’m definitely going to beat this. I’m kinda self-motivated like that.”
“You only hear about stuff like this,” said Decatur C-team basketball coach and Decatur grad Collin Sawyer. “But it’s happening to Dom. He is just such a neat kid. He is really amazing. I don’t know how many kids would be this excited for life.” While playing pickup basketball at Decatur during the spring of his sophomore year, Cooks was strug-
gling and didn’t have his normal “lift” on his jump shot. “I didn’t know what was going on and I even got my shot blocked by some scrub,” Cooks said with a smile. “Coach Sawyer was just watching me play and he saw that I couldn’t catch the ball with my left hand. It was bending in all the time. So one day before practice, [ more COOKS, page 30 ]

Maasai warriors share stories of their quest for education By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
“Jambo!” This is a traditional greeting in the Swahili language, and one which students at the Federal Way Public Academy (FWPA) heard on Oct. 25, as they were treated to a presentation from two Maasai warriors from Kenya, Wilson Meikuaya and Jackson Ntirkana. Meikuaya and Ntirkana were at FWPA representing Free the Children, the globe-spanning charity responsible for last year’s “We Day” celebration. Meikuaya and Ntirkana shared their experiences about trying to get an education in Kenya, spanning from needing to convince their parents to let them go to school, to having to complete the Maasai warrior training, to tending to cattle during an extended drought. “I went to my parents and told them there is a thing called school, and that I am ready to go,” Meikuaya said. “That day, dad and mom sat me down to tell me that they knew about school. It was a place that the children are taken away from their parents, and it steals culture from the Maasai.” “My parents also told us that strangers or the police would come and try and steal us,” Ntirkana said. “My mom asked me to do this
one thing, if anyone ever came and tried to steal you from us, (that I should) run.” Ntirkana said that day arrived eventually, and he fled as his mother told him to. “I run and run and run until I could run no more. (I was) followed quickly by…four other children from my home,” he said. “The policeman looked right at me and pointed at me. I yelled at my brother and sisters to run. The policeman caught up and took me back to my home.” Ntirkana said the policeman gave him a piece of candy and that it was “the sweetest (thing), sweeter even than the sugar we put in our tea.” The policeman told Ntirkana that something like that would be there for him at school. “I asked him to leave some with mom and dad, so they knew school would be good,” Ntirkana said. “I left for school the next day.” Meikuaya said his experience with school was life-altering. “Our children are children. But they have a new name in school, that they are called students,” he said. “We had students from all over the country from different tribes and different clans of the Maasai. So we could share and learn so much from one another… School gave me courage to set a goal for my future.
Wilson Meikuaya (left) and Jackson Ntirkana (right) shared their experiences on getting an education in Kenya with students last Friday at the Federal Way Public Academy. GREG ALLMAIN, The Mirror It encouraged me, how to make official, for my life, what I was going to do.” Ntirkana said that education in Kenya can have many disruptions, especially from home. He shared a story about how a drought struck Kenya when he was between sixth and seventh grades, and that he had to stay home a whole school year to take care of his family’s cattle with his father. Meikuaya had to undergo the traditional Maasai warrior training in order to continue his education, he said. “I finished grade eight and I told my parents, ‘I’m finished with my school.’ I
took my grade eight exams and I was waiting for my results. In the meantime, I had to go to a new school called high school. And my parents told me, ‘No.’ In Maasai culture, when the parents say ‘no’, we never disobey our parents. So I was disappointed when my parents told me this was the end of my education.” Meikuaya said his parents told him he had to undergo the traditional training for Maasai warriors, a training that can take years. The culmination of that training is a hunt for a lion. Luckily for Meikuaya, his father relented, saying that if he became a warrior and
came home with a lion’s mane, he could continue his schooling. “I was more determined than I have ever been,” he said. Meikuaya described the hunt for the lion to his rapt audience. “Together with other warriors, we tracked a male lion into the forest. And by the time we came face to face with the lion, he was very aggressive. He tried to hide himself. We each threw a spear and struck the lion. It happened that my spear was the first to strike him down and kill him. I killed the lion,” he remembered. “I wasn’t even excited that I killed the lion. I was more excited that it meant I could go to high school.” There was one last obstacle to overcome, Meikuaya said: finding money to go to high school. His father, he said, gave up his prize steer in order to get the money to send him to school. “He told me that this school is good, and you’re going to finish. I had never cried in front of my father before. Maasai warriors just
don’t do that. But I couldn’t contain my emotions, tears slid down my cheeks,” he remembered. As already mentioned, Meikuaya and Ntirkana visited FWPA as part of Free the Children, a global nonprofit started in 1995 by Craig Kielburger. Kielburger was inspired by the life and death of a 12-year-old Pakistani boy named Iqbal Masih. Masih had essentially been a child slave for the majority of his life until he was freed at age 10. Masih then began speaking about child slavery/labor, gaining an international audience. Many believe that Masih was murdered in 1995 because of his outspoken stance about the issue. Kielburger started Free the Children, which is active in eight countries, and is also responsible for We Day. We Day has been a popular event in Canada for years, and had its inaugural event in the United States last year at KeyArena in Seattle. The announcement for We Day’s U.S. debut was made at Federal Way High School.

German native is fed up with city’s behavior I’ve been living on South 316th Street for the last 20 years. For the last two or three years, I have gotten totally fed up with the City of Federal Way’s financial behavior. They’re spending more money on a school superintendent than we spend on our president or governor. What do you get out of it? The almost lowest school rating in Washington state. The Federal Way School District is sending board members, one of whom is
Roegner’s election predictions This is the last weekend for ringing doorbells, and the ballots are being cast. It is now time to figure out who might actually win some of these election races. Whether you go out in public to attend meetings, go to the store or church, or if you just read the blogs, one thing is very clear: many residents of Federal Way are frustrated with how their government entities are operating. The people have grown somewhat used to the lack of progress that partisan government yields at the national and state level. But when the institutions they trust most — local government — don’t run smoothly, their frustration is elevated. They understand that the school district, fire department and City Hall are not all run by the same people. But taken together, a lot of good work in our local governments has been overshadowed this past year by several issues of questionable judgment that has raised voter frustration to a new level. Whether it’s nepotism in the fire department, the superintendent’s salary, the school board’s trips to Asia and Europe, two investigations into the mayor’s behavior or the school board president’s arrest, none of it looks good on the 6 p.m. news or in the regional media — and the public is not happy. But how deep is the anger, and will it affect the election results? I consulted my usual group of political experts and the consensus is: if the
frustration is as deep as some fear, that frustration along with voter turnout could make a big difference in some races, but may not in others. In King County government, Executive Dow Constantine will win big, furthering his positive statewide image. Dave Upthegrove will win election to the county council seat vacated by Julia Patterson. Rod Dembowski, who was appointed to replace Bob Ferguson when he was elected Attorney General, will earn election in his own right. Eastside county council member Reagan Dunn, who was thought to be in trouble, may not be, and will likely win again. Here at home, King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer is unopposed. In the races for Port Of Seattle, incumbents Tom Albro, Stephanie Bowman, John Creighton and Courtney Gregoire will win. In Federal Way, the city and school board races are the ones to watch to check the public mood. Jim Ferrell appears on the verge of upsetting Skip Priest for mayor. But whether it happens or not will depend on public reaction and voter turnout. How upset is the public? And the lower the turnout, the more it favors Priest, Republicans and incumbents. The higher the turnout, the more it favors Ferrell, Democrats and non-incumbents. In the races for Federal Way City Council, appointed incumbent Diana Noble-Gulliford [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ]

EDITORIAL
Since October was “Let’s Talk!” Month (Family Sexuality Education Month), let’s revisit the topic of consent, especially for teens. Teen violence in relationships is epidemic, with 20 percent (1 in 5) female high school students reporting being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner. Many teens do not report sexual assault. Too many young men and women think they did something to deserve it, or they contributed to it happening, or they are ashamed that it happened to them. Perpetrators often have thinking errors regarding the consent of the victim. This is especially true in teen dating violence scenarios. So let’s review, everyone. Being in a relationship is not consent. “We’ve had sex before” is not consent. Consent to one act is not consent to all acts. If they say “yes” and change their mind, it’s not consent. If they aren’t sober, they can’t consent. The absence of “no” is not consent. Flirting is not consent. Silence is not consent. If you have to convince them, it’s not consent. If they don’t feel free to say “no,” it’s not consent. Only an informed, sober, freely-given, ongoing, enthusiastic “Yes!” is consent.

OPINION
[6] November 1, 2013
● 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. Due to limited print space, more letters are available online at federalwaymirror.com. under criminal investigation, overseas to study these overseas school systems. I’m a German — the overseas school systems are totally different from American school systems. One difference is that there is no school bus system, plus a lot more differences. To figure this out, you don’t need to spend $60,000 in traveling money. I have enough knowledge to explain the difference between the European and the American school systems. It would cost only two gal-
lons of gasoline to the city. Having a member on the school board who is under criminal investigation for a $150,000 tire theft charge doesn’t make a very good impression to our students. I don’t know what I should say to the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC). I’m a small businessman, and I know you should not spend money that you don’t have and that you’ll never get back. I personally think there are a lot more very impor-
tant changes to pay in the city’s budget. For example, senior help, senior centers, children help/daycare, and a lot more that would help the citizens of Federal Way directly and not only a small group of art-loving people who hope the money comes back. This will never happen. When this arts center is built, this will be a barrel without a bottom. Downtown is just food joints and a shopping mall with some homeless people hanging around right on the corner
of the exit of I-5 and 320th Street, with criminals robbing and breaking in cars at the shopping mall. It would be better if they pay a couple of police officers more to ensure the safety of the citizens. Also, it would be very helpful if they would spend some money for classes of social behavior to the mayor — then he doesn’t need to scream and yell at the people. I can bring a lot more reasons or whatever, only I’m just fed up now.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, we need you on the Federal Way School Board. Please consider running…soon. A: Not really a question, but it’s still flattering to Mr. Federal Way’s sizable ego. Mr. Federal Way’s musings last week regarding the district’s grading system have touched a nerve with several people. Mr. Federal Way received responses from parents and even a longtime teacher in the district. Mr. Federal Way will let you in on a little secret: not one of those responses was in support of what’s going on with the standards-based grading system. They reiterated the fact that Mr. Federal Way is not alone in the lack of understanding of what’s going on these days. So, in honor of the groundswell of support that Mr. Federal Way has received in the past week, Mr. Federal Way would like to throw the proverbial hat into the ring and launch a write-in candidacy for the Federal Way School Board. If elected, Mr. Federal Way might even be able to give Mrs. Federal Way that European vacation Mr. Federal Way has always promised, but could never afford. Mr. Federal Way also hears the Great Wall of China is beautiful in the spring. So, if you haven’t filled out your
[ LETTERS from page 6]
I said ‘no’ to scammer who drove a Mercedes I live in the north Dash Point Road area of Federal Way. At 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, I believe I possibly encountered the same individuals that scammed letter writer J. Kirwan on repairs to dings on her car. A young man approximately in his 20s came to my door bringing attention to the scratches on my car. They are on the colored right side of the rear bumper and are really not all that noticeable. He said if I took it to an repair shop, it would cost $500 to fix. However, he worked at an auto shop and he had the product to fix it and it would only cost $125, he said. I said “no.” He tried to convince me it was “major” damage that needed to be repaired. I said “no.” He asked if he could give me a business card. I said “no,” and he left. It all felt very odd, so I watched him. The car had been out of my line of sight behind my own car. But as he pulled away I saw a male passenger in the front seat of a very nice gold Mercedes. Uh, you work
ballot yet for the Nov. 5 general election, insert Mr. Federal Way’s name. You won’t be disappointed. Mr. Federal Way also promises that pizza will be served for lunch every day, teachers won’t be allowed to give homework, the New Kids on the Block will perform at graduation, and every student will receive a free Rubik’s cube and Cabbage Patch Kid… Oh, wait a second. It’s not 1986 anymore? Mr. Federal Way was just having a flashback to the last time Mr. Federal Way ran for public office. Apologies. The position was sixthgrade homeroom advisor, and Mr. Federal Way lost. The opponent promised ice cream sandwiches for lunch and a joint concert from Michael Jackson and Madonna. You can’t compete with that, right? But, in all seriousness (Mr. Federal Way makes this statement for all the readers who don’t understand Mr. Federal Way’s sarcasm on the subject), Mr. Federal Way has a ton of respect for all public officials. These are people who felt strong enough about making a change that they did something about it. Mr. Federal Way doesn’t have that personality trait. Mr. Federal Way just likes writing a third-per-
at an auto shop (probably not the highest paying job in the city) and you are doing “odd” jobs on the side, but you drive a nice gold Mercedes? My first thought was that he was “casing the house/neighborhood.” Then I remembered reading J. Kirwan’s letter regarding being scammed. If you see a car fitting this description, you are encouraged to get as much detail as possible and contact the Federal Way Police Department’s crime prevention unit, which has the report of today’s encounter. Or if you actually have someone come to your door offering you this service, contact 911.

PACC: Ready for this investment? As with probably the majority of citizens of Federal Way, I am not extremely educated in the operation of municipalities, so I decided to take a very simplified approach to the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC). This lack of education on municipal processes is not a dig on anyone. I just think it is a way of life for most of the residents of the city. I used numbers from the PACC [ more LETTERS page 8 ]
son column for The Mirror, using an “anonymous” name, sarcastically (most of the time) making fun of things happening in the city. But there are some things that Mr. Federal Way feels strongly about, and this grading system debacle in the school district is one of them. When school officials need to host several community meetings to explain the usually simple process of giving grades to students, then obviously the process is broken. According to one of the emails Mr. Federal Way received this week, “it seems like someone decided to see how difficult they could make it for students, parents and teachers to just figure out what grade students are earning and why they are earning it.” Let’s do something about that, please. It can be fixed. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what do you think about all the candidates and their buddies standing on all the street corners, waving signs? It’s kind of distracting. A: Mr. Federal Way agrees that it is a bit of a nuisance when you are driving through one of the busy intersections around the city. How can you not be distracted when you see a dozen people holding a sign in one hand, waving with the other, and smiling super hard while making eye contact with every motorist who drives by? Mr. Federal Way is a little surprised that there haven’t been
[ ROEGNER from page 6] should hold off a spirited challenge from Martin Moore, although Moore has really made a strong move in the closing weeks, and he could pull off the upset. Appointed incumbent Kelly Maloney is still the favorite to defeat businessman Mark Koppang after her impressive primary showing. However, this race could be closer than the double-digit primary lead Maloney held. Koppang has been working hard, and in a surprise, he got The Mirror’s endorsement. In another surprise, Maloney didn’t pursue the Democratic vote, even though many of the conservatives and Republicans will vote for Koppang. She has to hope the Democrats and enough independents vote for her. Also, she may have needlessly cost herself votes with some of her website comments. In the other contested race, Jeanne Burbidge will defeat newcomer John Fairbanks. Over at the school district, vote tallies will be watched closely for messages from the public. Best guess at this point: Carol Gregory will beat Medgar Wells and take the seat vacated by Angela Griffin. And in an upset, longtime board member Ed Barney will lose to Geoffery McAnalloy. If so, the balance of power on the board will change and likely become more attentive to teachers and parents. A different check and balance on the administration might surface as well.
more accidents caused by the happy-go-lucky sign wavers. It’s also a little surprising to Mr. Federal Way that the congregation of sign-waving actually works. But it must. Otherwise, all those candidates wouldn’t stand in the rain, wind and cold, would they? Mr. Federal Way guesses it’s kind of a commentary on the state of voters today. Instead of reading the newspaper and the voters pamphlet, or attending a debate between the candidates, there are “some” voters out there who check the box next to the candidate they saw waving a sign at the intersection. Mr. Federal Way, for one, can’t wait for the Nov. 5 general election to come and go. Those awkward stops at intersections — where you accidentally make eye contact with the sign waver and don’t know if you should wave, smile back or look away quickly — will end. Also ending: all the political commercials during Mr. Federal Way’s favorite TV shows. Mr. Federal Way will be able to watch reruns of “Duck Dynasty” without hearing about why or why not to label genetically engineered foods. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I dressed up as Lt. Dangle from “Reno 911” for Halloween. What did you dress up as? A: None of your business.
Got a question for Mr. Federal Way? Email mrfederalway@federalwaymirror.com. At South King Fire and Rescue (SKFR), incumbent Bill Gates will win another term as board commissioner over challenger Jerry Galland. Galland’s criticism of the district has struck a chord, but not enough to defeat Gates. But watch Galland’s vote total — there might be a message there for the fire service. At the Lakehaven Utility District, Don Miller will win another term, but Marie-Anne Harkness has earned another chance. She all but endorsed Miller, but she did her homework and conducted herself in a manner worthy of holding elected office. In other local races, Ed Murray will likely be the new mayor of Seattle. Nancy Backus will be the new mayor in Auburn, and Suzette Cooke and Debra Perry will remain as mayors in Kent and Milton, respectively. In a key legislative race in the state Senate in the 26th District in Poulsbo, Jan Angel (R) seems likely to give the Republicans a cushion of another vote. But the amount of money being spent by both sides in this race has clouded the local view and turned a runaway election into a close match. Voter mood and turnout — those are the keys. Is the public as mad as it seems to be? Or is the frustration only an inch deep? We’ll find out Tuesday. Don’t forget to vote. One vote might make a difference in some of these races.

Fact checking Federal Way’s mayoral candidates Mirror staff reports
Federal Way political candidates are advertising ahead of the Nov. 5 general election. Below are fact checks on claims made by mayoral candidates Skip Priest and Jim Ferrell in their campaign literature. This list is intended to clarify their claims, and not necessarily label them as correct or incorrect.
Skip Priest
• Claim: “Developed and expanded the innovative programs Safe City and the Special Operations Unit, resulting in safer neighborhoods and a 32 percent drop in home burglaries in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012,” according to a flier for the Priest campaign’s Sept. 28 fundraiser. • Clarification: The Safe City program was launched in 2007 by the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce three years before Priest was elected mayor. The surveillance program was expanded to the Twin Lakes neighborhood in 2012, with the program under the city’s direction. Federal Way police reported a 32 percent drop in home burglaries in the time period mentioned in Priest’s ad, but police also reported a 32 percent increase in commercial burglaries for the same time period. However, in 2012, burglaries had increased by 24 percent over 2011 (752 in 2011 and 929 in 2012, according to police). The Special Operations Unit was created in 2009, before Priest’s election, and had established a team of bicycle patrol officers in the downtown core. In Nov. 2011, Police Chief Brian Wilson credited the unit for reducing crime in that area by 50 percent. • Claim: “Acted as an ‘aggressive advocate’ on behalf of the citizens of Federal Way to ensure that our city is a priority in Sound Transit planning,” according to Priest’s website. “This effort helped encourage, support and result in (King County) Councilmember (Pete) von Reichbauer’s and Senator (Tracey) Eide’s plan to provide an additional $24 million in funds to make light rail plans

Jim Ferrell
• Clarification: Priest announced in 2012 that Federal Way would decline an $800,000 Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant from the Department of Justice. The grant would have allowed the city to hire three more police officers, with the justice department footing the bill for the first three years. After the third year, the city would have picked up the tab for the officers’ salaries. “We have, as all of you know, committed to creating a sustainable budget for 2013-14 and beyond. But if we’re going to do that, unfortunately, we must proceed conservatively,” Priest said in 2012, noting the city would be unable to fund the positions. “If one is to hire three or four officers based on a grant that we cannot meet…We have made a commitment as a city not to hire and then fire based on hopes, as opposed to reality.” • Claim: “While other South King communities are flourishing, much of Federal Way has remained idle, while at the same time far too many businesses employing thousands have left our city,” according to Ferrell’s website. “We cannot continue to see the startling numbers of jobs and businesses leaving our city, which include such companies as Orion, Baden Sports, Top Foods, Marie Calender’s, Big Lots – all of which have left Federal Way during the current mayor’s term.” • Clarification: Recent city and county sources say Federal Way has a job pool of about 32,000, which was about the same reported in 2005. During the current mayor’s term, several notable companies have left (or will leave) Federal Way, including Orion Industries (265 employees), Baden Sports (90 employees), Top Foods (48 employees), Big Lots (26 employees) and Marie Callender’s (35 employees). However, new employers have offset some of these losses. The Ram moved into Marie Callender’s spot, Fitness Evolution occupies Big Lots’ old site, and DaVita’s new home in Federal Way (relocated from Tacoma) has nearly 400 jobs. One of the city’s largest employers, Weyerhaeuser, cut 1,500 jobs in 2008-2009 — including more than 1,000 at the Federal Way headquarters — before the current mayor was elected.

website at federalwaypacc.org. In doing so, there is a pro forma (annual operations cost versus annual income) estimation in the FAQ section where I took the financial basics. Below is what I determined. The current estimate for construction of the PACC is approximately $31.5 million. The website shows a total of $13.319 million has already been “raised” for the project. The breakdown of the money raised is also shown on the FAQ section. That leaves a total of $18.181 million remaining to complete the project. The pro forma also estimates a first year profit of $22,000. Let’s assume the city finances the rest of the project cost at a perfect interest rate of 0 percent and they can pay this out of just profits over an unlimited period of time. I realize this is never possible, but for simplicity we can use these parameters. In that case, dividing our $18.181 million “loan” by the projected annual profit, it will take us a total of 826 years to pay off the PACC. Thus in year 827, we will start to reap the benefits and feel real profits from the PACC. So realistically, there may be other benefits to the city by building and operating the PACC, so the return on investment will not really be 826 years in the future. Depending on how this actually could bring businesses into the area, the city could reap benefits much sooner than expected. But these simple terms can give some of us residents of Federal Way a better look at what we are looking at. Is it really a benefit to us? Maybe the ancillary benefits far outweigh the price, but maybe also these benefits are just projections and will not come to fruition. Are you ready to make an $18 million investment to see if these benefits will come to the city?

Centerstage Theatre’s Laura Campbell wins Melissa Hines Award From staff reports

The citation reads: “The recipient of this ‘behind the scenes’ award is honored for their involvement with theatre in Washington state over the last year. This honor is named in memory of the late Melissa Hines… This category is intended to honor those dedicated individuals who make theatre possible, enabling artists to do their art, but who often are not recognized by curtain calls, reviews or awards. This category may include production crew and stage management, volunteers, administrators, board members, donors and patrons.” In regards to the award’s namesake, The Seattle Times wrote: “They don’t get the audience applause and the critical acclaim. But without the hard work and passionate commitment of behind-the-scenes people like Melissa Hines, Seattle would not have the vibrant performing arts scene the city is celebrated for.”

COURTESY PHOTO In front of more than a thousand of Seattle’s theatrical finest who gathered at the Neptune Theatre on Monday night, Centerstage Artistic Director Alan Bryce noted the particular challenges of operating a small company in a first-class facility like the Knutzen Family Theatre in Federal Way. “What is needed are the old-fashioned virtues of the theatre business: the ability and the willingness to do many jobs with tireless enthusiasm. And Laura does this with her fiery personality, her huge sense of humor and her enormous heart. The tendrils of her love and enthusiasm reach throughout the Seattle theatre community through the care and support she has offered the hundreds of actors who have worked at Centerstage.” To learn more about Centerstage, visit www. centerstagetheatre.com.

Parents blast grading system [ PARENTS from page 1] particularly the Power Law piece,” Newcombe said. “It is simply not a fair or logical system. Teachers and students are already feeling the pressure to explore ways to cheat the system, so to speak. Students are learning to underperform on tests in the beginning, and then put real effort into the later ones so their grade looks good. Teachers feel the need to manipulate grade information in order to end up with grades that accurately reflect the performance of their students. Because the reality is, this new grading system does not.” Newcombe said the district has grossly missed the mark of its consumers and has implemented a system that is simply not working. “It’s inaccurate, complicated and extremely frustrating to use,” she added. “We are your consumers. We expect more competent, thoughtful decisions, when you’re making decisions with very real consequences.” Daanish Khazi, who attends Thomas Jefferson High School and was the lone student speaking about the issue on Oct. 25, said the new iteration of SBG feels like a “top-down” decision that wasn’t given much forethought before it was deployed and applied at the classroom level. “When the decisions
are made from the top, it doesn’t necessarily reflect how it fits into the classroom setting,” he said, noting how the Power Law should help students as they progress. “But progression isn’t really measured within the classroom, in terms of how the assignments are inputted. The chronology of assignments are pretty arbitrary, and the grade book doesn’t account for time or consistency. It counts simply for chronology — which (assignment/test) is put in first, and what’s put in next.” Khazi said that if a teacher takes in two assignments on a given day, and a student gets a grade of 1 on one assignment and a 4 on the other, the variable aspect depends on whether the teacher inputs the 1 score first, or the 4 score first. “Depending on whether she puts the 1 in first, or the 4 in first, that can make a pass or fail for the student,” he noted. “It’s nearly impossible to mitigate the effects of this tremendously arbitrary Power Law. It’s hard to understand in the first place, and trying to extrapolate its results is even harder.” Khazi said the system puts a lot of pressure on the students. “It kind of destroys the intrinsic value of learning since they’re so focused on how to fix the system, to find out how they can get the right numbers,” he added. “Students should focus on how they should

www.federalwaymirror.com learn, not on how they can get an A.” Shelley Scuderi, a parent, said that the district has failed to deliver on its promises to students and families for three years now. “Each year, we have been promised that the new system addresses the problems of the previous year, but have once again been severely disappointed,” she said. “The current new system is not only very difficult to understand, it is far worse…It cannot serve its basic purpose, an effective and easy-to-understand grading system.” Scuderi touched on the fact that district officials seemed oblivious to the traps being presented by the Power Law and that it took a parent pointing it out to get the issue examined. Along with this, Scuderi said district officials met with a small group of concerned parents on Oct. 17, and that the parents were treated to a startling admission by the district officials they spoke with. “Some parents met with district administration and were told that afternoon that the district knew there were issues with the system back in August,” she said. “This is unconscionable, that district administration knew about issues and yet proceeded on. No matter how all this came about, there is something seriously wrong with this district and how business is being conducted. Students are being used as guinea pigs to test various theories, and no one is minding the store. It is our children’s futures being impacted by this apparent lack of accountability.” Scuderi concluded: “Enough is enough.”

District defends system [ GRADING from page 1] learning, as opposed to the previous grading systems that most students and parents have known in the past. Brower highlighted the issues of the “traditional” grading system (a 100 point system where the final grade is points earned over total points), and shared his own personal experience to illustrate the point. “There were classes in which I got an A, and which, quite frankly, I didn’t learn a whole lot,” he said. “I had learned to play the game. I had learned how many points I needed, and that was the focus for me in some classes.” Brower used the analogy of the older system being one singular box “that all the learning, progress and achievement” was put into, which can be problematic. “There’s some great advantages to that, (but) one of the shortcomings of that is, successes can mask deficiencies, and deficiencies can hang around your neck like a millstone,” he said. Continuing with the box analogy, Brower said SBG is a number of smaller boxes in which each student is evaluated on a standard by standard basis. “I’m no longer trying to use one box to communicate all the learning and proficiency of everything in the class,” he said. “I’m saying, ‘Here are the most important standards for the course, and let me communicate your progress in each box individually.’” The advantage, he said, is that students’ deficiencies are no longer hidden. To drive the point home, Brower shared a story about a colleague’s son who had done poorly on a middle-school test for fractions. When the colleague called the student’s teacher for help on how to make sure the child knew fractions, the teacher said the student should focus on decimals — so the student could do well on the decimal test because it “all averages out.” And so, Brower said, this student would continue in school without an understanding of a fundamental part of basic mathematics. “There is that lack of clarity in communication (of student progress),” he said. Beyond that, Brower said he thinks many of the pains that students and families may be experiencing regarding SBG may be teacher practices that don’t align well with the system. “If we’re changing the way we communicate from a single box to multiple
boxes, and we have practices that were designed to put information into a single box, we have to change these practices,” he said. “I’ve sat in many conversations with students and parents and teachers, and with community members, and we discover that many of their concerns are not about the grading. They’re about the practices that are being used. That may not give us the information we need to communicate progress.” Brower also said that ultimately, the overall grade for a student comes down to “the teacher’s professional judgment,” and that all the components of SBG are designed to help inform the teacher’s judgment as best as possible. Superintendent Rob Neu also had Brower touch briefly on problems with part of the algorithm SBG uses to determine student success, called the “Power Law.” Concerned parent Michael Scuderi, at the board’s previous meeting on Oct. 15, had pointed out that the Power Law was allowing for an unusual skewing of grades if students got a low score at the beginning of a class. Neu and Brower conceded that the Power Law was indeed causing an “inflation,” but that the equation had been modified. “We found…that if a kid failed early, it put their starting point low, and put their trajectory on a fairly steep slope, and the computer was over-reporting their proficiency,” Brower said. “We were able to modify that Power Law equation to compensate for that…so it doesn’t skew the learning. The modified Power Law now more accurately communicates a student’s performance and is in more alignment with the teacher’s professional judgment.” Board president Claire Wilson said that she, as a parent of FWPS students, had to “divorce” the idea of the 1-through-4 grading scale being coupled to an actual letter grade. “Now, when I look at the numbers, I’m looking for progress,” she said. “If I see a 1, I only want to see one 1. When I get a report card, I will be looking for a letter grade, which is a combination of everything in the box. And that, to me, is a finite grade that says, ‘Given everything I’ve seen along the way, given the progress and achievement I’ve seen, this is the end product.’ It was a way of separating the two in my mind, and saying one is a progress measure, and one is a grade. They’re both critically important, and they both are different than what most of us have experienced.”

‘Honoring Our Own’ returns for annual tribute to veterans Federal Way’s fourth annual tribute to veterans “Honoring Our Own,” sponsored by the Historical Society of Federal Way and the Kiwanis Club of Federal Way, will take place on Veterans Day from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at Todd Beamer High School, 35999 16th Ave. S. This is a day to honor those who have bravely served this country and risked their lives for our freedom. On Nov. 11, we are paying tribute to not only our veterans, but to those who did not live to be thanked. We also pay tribute to those whose fate is still undetermined — those missing in action. The highlight of this year’s “Honoring Our Own” is keynote speaker Major General Timothy J. Lowenberg. Lowenberg served as Adjutant General of the State of Washington from September 1999 until August 2012, making him the second-longest Adjutant General since the formation of the Washington Territorial Militia in 1885. Preceding his appointment as Adjutant GeneralWashington, Lowenberg served as Air National Guard Assistant to three consecutive Judge Advocate Generals of the Air Force.
In that position, he oversaw the formation, development and coordination of legal policies, plans and programs affecting more than 114,000 Air Guard members in more than 1,000 units throughout the states, territories and the District of Columbia. His vast resume includes two Bronze Stars (National Defense Service Medals). “Honoring Our Own” is a free community event. Present will be local government and school officials; Nancy Jaenicke of Reach Out homeless shelters; Todd Beamer and Federal Way ROTC groups; Boy Scout and Police Explorers; and members of VFW Post 2886. Patriotic songs will be performed by Nana Lemeveve, local entertainer Carol Stanley and Federal Way’s popular group Harmony Kings. Civil War re-enactor Carl Hicks will be present in uniform. Hicks will bring a display of Civil War artifacts, including a musket and bayonet. Refreshments will be provided at the end of the program. A new feature this year will be a community dance following the program at 8 p.m. The Todd Beamer Wind Ensemble will be playing big band music, and Arthur Murray and Pacific Ballroom Dance groups will be on site for lessons.

Football: TJ on the cusp of making postseason for just the second time in school history By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The fourth-ranked Federal Way Eagles got a little scare Saturday night in a non-league game with the Auburn Trojans. Auburn jumped all over the
Eagles, outscoring Federal Way 20-0 in the second quarter, to take a 23-7 halftime lead. But all-everything Chico McClatcher scooted free for three second-half touchdowns, rescuing fourth-ranked Federal Way in a 33-23 comeback victory over Auburn at Federal Way Stadium. The Eagles improved to 7-1. The Trojans dropped to 5-3 on the season. McClatcher scored on runs of 76 in the first quarter, 17 (third) and 39 yards (fourth). He also scored on a 90-yard pass play

Federal Way senior Kenna Ramey has already proven to be the class of the South Puget Sound League during her Eagle career. Ramey further cemented her all-time status Saturday at the SPSL swim meet at the Rogers Aquatic Center. Ramey won a pair of individual league titles, breaking her own meet records in both the 50-yard freestyle and 100 butterfly. Ramey swam a blazing 24.06 in the 50 free, to break the record (24.10) she set in 2011 as a Kenna Ramey sophomore. Ramey’s butterfly time of 57.21 eclipsed her mark of 58.87 from last year. Ramey has already won three state championships. As a sophomore, she won the 50 free and Ramey won the 50 and 100 butterfly state titles last season. But Ramey wasn’t the only Eagle to snag a league championship. Tia Thomas dominated the 1-meter diving competition at the SPSL meet, scoring 409.10 points, to win the title and earn an automatic berth into the Class 4A State Girls Diving Meet. A pair of Decatur divers also snagged automatic berths into the state diving meet. Freshman Catherine Sobus finished in second-place [ more swimming page 23 ]
Neagle named Sounders FC Humanitarian of the Year Thomas Jefferson grad honored for his work with America SCORES and Boys & Girls Clubs of King County By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Seattle Sounders forward Lamar Neagle was named the 2013 Sounders FC Humanitarian of the Year by Major League Soccer (MLS). file photo
Thomas Jefferson graduate Lamar Neagle is having a huge year on the field for Seattle Sounders FC. The forward is second on the team with eight goals and had led the Sounders into the upcoming Major League Soccer (MLS) playoffs. But Neagle might be having an even better season off the field. The team announced Friday that Neagle has been selected as the 2013 Sounders FC Humanitarian of the Year in recognition of his commitment to community service. Neagle made more than 25 appearances in the community this season and started his own charitable program, The Neagle Foundation.
Neagle, 26, was named the MLS W.O.R.K.S. Humanitarian of the Month for August. The award recognized Neagle’s involvement in the community, including work with America SCORES and the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County. His work with America SCORES Seattle included attending meetings, donating soccer clinics and helping to raise awareness for their 60-60-60 campaign. He also set up a meeting with SCORES and Russell Investment Group representatives on his own. A member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County as a youth, Neagle has returned the service, appearing at the Renton/Skyway Boys & Girls Club, as well as the annual breakfast. In starting The Neagle Foundation, he established a program to provide support to youth through athletics and academics while building stronger families and communities throughout the Seattle area. As a first-grader, Neagle began his soccer career playing for the Federal Way Boys and Girls Club. [ more neagle page 23 ]

Way Memorial Stadium. Third-ranked Graham-Kapowsin (8-0) will be the South Puget Sound League South Division’s top seed into the postseason. The winner of the Federal WayCurtis game will be the division’s second seed and the loser will be the third. The second-place team from the South will host the third-place team from the Wesco League on Nov. 9, while the third-place team will travel to the Wesco’s second seed on Nov. 8. Jefferson 21, Kentridge 0 — The Raiders continued their impressive season Friday night with the shutout of the Chargers at French Field. The win moved Jefferson to 5-2 in the SPSL North Division and 5-3 overall. The Raiders got all the points they needed with a second-quarter touchdown by Niko DelaCruz from 2 yards out. The game stayed 7-0 until the fourth quarter when Jefferson got touchdowns from Shane Seaume and Zach Grayson. The Raiders can assure themselves of a berth into the playoffs with a win tonight in Maple Valley against the Tahoma Bears. Jefferson can also qualify for the postseason with a loss to the Bears, but would need help. Both Auburn Riverside (6-1) and Kentwood (6-1) are assured of two of the four playoff berths from the North Division. There are currently three teams fighting for the final two spots — Jefferson (5-2), Auburn (5-2) and Tahoma (4-3). Auburn plays Auburn Riverside Friday and can automatically qualify with a win. It gets complicated if Auburn Riverside beats Auburn and Tahoma beats Jefferson. That would create a three-way tie for third place in the SPSL North.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ neagle from page 20] And while a lot of his not-as-talented friends moved onto select soccer teams, Neagle remained with the Boys and Girls Club for years. “I remember I asked my mom if I could play for the club teams and she told me that we didn’t have the money to do it,” Neagle said at the time he started his foundation. “So I ended up going to the Boys and Girls Club and playing soccer, baseball and basketball. It was a place for me and my brother to go when my mom was working.” Neagle has also participated in events at Thomas Jefferson and spent time with service men and women at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Among other activities that he has participated in this season included the United Way of King County All-Star Softball Classic for homeless youth and the Sounders FC International Family Festival. This is the first time
[ briefs from page 22]
• Ryan Welborn of Meadow Park in Tacoma fired a two-round total of 138 to win the fourth annual Twin Lakes Amateur Presented by Michelob Ul-
Neagle has earned the club honors. Forward David Estrada won the award in 2012, defender James Riley earned the honors in 2010 and 2011, and defender Taylor Graham was named the club’s first Humanitarian of the Year in 2009. By winning the award for the Sounders, Neagle is now eligible for the MLS W.O.R.K.S. Humanitarian of the Year. This is Neagle’s third stint with the Sounders in the team’s five-year history. After TJ, Neagle played at UNLV before inking with the Sounders as an undrafted free agent in June of 2009. But he didn’t stick with the team in training camp the following year and instead played with the Charleston Battery in the USL second division. There, he earned Most Valuable Player honors with 12 goals in 19 matches, leading the Battery to the USL-2 title. He went from there to Finland, where he played five matches with Mariehamn, netting two goals before a return invite to join
the Sounders in training camp brought him back to Seattle. In his second stint with Seattle, he enjoyed a breakout season, finishing with six goals and two assists in 24 matches. Neagle opened camp again with the Sounders in 2012, but was traded along with Mike Fucito to the Montreal Impact for Eddie Johnson. In Montreal, Neagle finished with two goals and two assists before being traded back to Seattle during the 2013 offseason for
an international roster slot. The Sounders beat the Colorado Rapids Wednesday night, 2-0, in the knockout-round of the MLS Cup playoffs. The No. 4 seeded Sounders (16-127) limped into the postseason on a seven-game winless streak, but advanced to face the No. 1 Portland Timbers in the two-leg, aggregate-goals Western Conference Semifinals. The first game will be Saturday night at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
tra at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club last week. Welborn put together rounds of 68 and 70 to finish a 6-under par and won the tournament by one shot over Jason Follen, also of
Meadow Park. Ryan Kelly, brother of PGA Tour player Troy Kelly, finished third at 141 while Thomas Jefferson graduate Oakley Murphy, of Riverbend, was fourth
at 142. Sandy Vaughan and former champion, Tom Lewis, tied for fifth at 144. A total of 84 players took part in the annual event. Send Sports Briefs to sports@fedwaymirror.com

press. Skill position players always have their hands on the ball and score the touchdowns. In short, they are the center of attention. And that was something that Cooks relished. But that all changed when he started his freshman season at Decatur. Cooks had become too big and too strong to play as a running back/wide receiver and was moved into the trenches by Hatch and the other Decatur coaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We brought him up on varsity midway through the season, which is a very big deal for a freshman,â&#x20AC;? Hatch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had outgrown the skill position, but still had some of the same skills. He was quick off the ball and a quick kid. He fit right in to what we were trying to do defensively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team absolutely loves Dom. He is a big part of this campus and is an outstanding kid. Even before he was diagnosed, kids loved him the same. It was just awful to have such a physical and healthy kid. And then to be diagnosed all of a sudden? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrible.â&#x20AC;? Cooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; infectious attitude has become a staple throughout the halls during the 2013 school year. He makes the morning announcements every day, which include some type of inspirational message. He was also appointed as an Associated Student Body (ASB) officer by the Decatur students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just try to say some of my [ more COOKS, page 31 ]

he wanted to get hit. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My right side is still solid.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Cooks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a hit, but did cross the goal line Friday night while every fan inside Federal Way Memorial Stadium cheered. The Gatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense lined up with Cooks split out on the right side of the line in front of the Auburn Mountainview defense. Decatur quarterback Isaiah Hatch then hit junior receiver Isaiah Diggs with a pass, Diggs then handed the ball to Cooks on a hook-and-lateral play. Cooks did the rest, completing a few juke moves before scoring his â&#x20AC;&#x153;dreamâ&#x20AC;? touchdown. After he crossed the goal line, Cooks completed his special â&#x20AC;&#x153;touchdown dance,â&#x20AC;? which included finger-rolling the football out of his right hand, before both teams, coaches, cheerleaders and fans surrounded him, yelling his nickname, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cookie, Cookie, Cookie.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was so hyped,â&#x20AC;? Cooks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I crossed the line, I wanted to goof with my boys. It was awesome. People are going to remember that for a long time. It was awesome. I just wanted to get the crowd going.â&#x20AC;? Despite being a lineman during his high school football career, crossing the end zone was not a foreign thing for Cooks. During his days in pee-wee football and at Saghalie Middle School, Cooks always played a skill position. These are the players who get all of the glory and

Sawyer told me to tie my shoe and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. He then said that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play for him anymore until I got a note from my doctor. Coach Sawyer probably saved me.â&#x20AC;? Following the basketball incident, Cooks went to the doctor and they thought that the lack of feeling in the left side of his body was caused by a pinched nerve. Earlier in the year, Cooks had been in a sledding accident and doctors thought that might have been when he pinched a nerve. But the numb feeling never went away and, eventually, his left leg would start to drag behind his body while he was walking. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when doctors ordered an MRI and the tumor on his brain was discovered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I took the MRI, I was the only person in the room who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what a tumor was,â&#x20AC;? Cooks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The doctor said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dom, you have a brain tumor.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The malignant tumor is sitting on Cooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brain and doctors cannot surgically remove it because of its location. Therefore, chemotherapy and radiation is the only option for killing and shrinking the tumor. Last year, the chemotherapy and radiation seemed to have killed the tumor in Cooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brain. But the good news didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long. The tumor grew back and led to the three-to-six-month

Honestly, if it wasn’t for Decatur, I don’t think I would be here today. I just love Decatur. I love the kids at Decatur. It’s one, big happy family. A lot of kids in school look forward to the weekends. But I wish we had school on the weekends because I love being here so much.” Brower has become very close to Cooks since the diagnosis. Brower calls him an amazing ambassador for Decatur, which is a pretty obvious fact after talking to Cooks. “There are things that aren’t M 1 Eigth.pdf 1 10/21/2013 within myGeoffery power to do when it
comes to Dom and his cancer,” Brower said. “But when he says that he wants to play football again, that’s something that’s within our power. How small of a thing is that? We wanted to make his wish come true.” “He is just always lifting everybody up,” Brower said. “He is just an inspirational kid. He has taught me to embrace every day and treat everyone with kindness.” Cooks has plans to go into motivational speaking after he beats cancer. He has already given talks at Saghalie Middle School and some elementary schools around Federal Way. “I’m just trying to make the most of my life,” he said. “I want to give back to kids and let them know that nothing is impossible. 2:53:28 PM “There are two things that I’m
very thankful for — Decatur High School and my tumor,” Cooks said. “I feel loved at Decatur and it makes me happy, and the tumor has taught me that tomorrow is not a promise and you have to embrace every day.” Cooks’ story continues the trend of bad news emanating from Decatur. The school has been hit with a streak of bad news over the past three years. In May, then-senior Pavlo Myronets was killed in a car crash on May 25 on Highway 167. Former Gator swim coach Rob Hill died in a plane crash in February 2012. In September 2011, junior Robert Harris was at a family barbecue when he drowned in Lake Tapps after trying to retrieve a football in the water. In June 2010, Decatur se-
