Trial date set for Summers
Police give 60 struggling families gift of Christmas
From staff reports

G
reg Summers, the former owner of Summers Chiropractic and Massage accused of sexual misconduct by former patients, is set to face a jury on Jan. 8, 2014. He was released from King County jail earlier this month after serving time for a failure to appear citation. According to documents from King County Superior Court, Summers missed a court date on Sept. 23, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest the same day. Summers was released from jail on Dec. 5 on his own recognizance. Allegations first arose against Summers in 2010, when a former patient alleged Summers touched her breasts during a chiropractic treatment session. Other patients came forward shortly after the first complaint was made public, alleging they were on the receiving end of similar behavior from Summers, including an “intra-vaginal massage” and an allegation that Summers “offered himself as a sexual teaching tool.” If convicted of the charges, Summers would be required to register as a sex offender, according to state law.

Seahawks’ shutout wins $35,000 for 12 lucky customers By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Single mom Melissa Pederson selected stuffed animals, gift cards and candy to stuff in her three children’s stockings and put under the Christmas tree. While she moved from table to table, the tune of “Jingle Bells” and other Christmas songs played in the background. But it wasn’t the mall or department store that many parents experience during their annual Christmas shopping. Instead, she was surrounded by 59 other Federal Way families who “shopped” at Grace Church in Federal Way on Friday evening. The Federal Way School District identified those families in greatest need throughout the district. The Federal Way Police Department partnered with the church and held the annual Adopt-AFamily program, providing a Christmas experience for 60 families. This year, the police department was able to double the amount of families they served last year. Pederson, a student at Green River Community [ more GIFT, page 3 ]
It doesn’t seem like there is anything that is going to stop the Seattle Seahawks this season, especially the New York Giants. The Seahawks blew away the Giants Sunday morning, 23-0, at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey. The victory moved Seattle to 12-2 and one step closer to clinching home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. But Sunday’s shutout by the Seahawks’ defense was just a little
more meaningful to 12 fans who entered a contest at Federal Way’s Jet Chevrolet last week. The car dealership gave away $35,000 each to 12 lucky customers Monday afternoon. Jet Chevrolet had a promotion that if the Seahawks shut out the Giants, 12 people would split $420,000 equally. “Watching the game was definitely nerve-racking,” said Jim Johnson, one of the owners of the dealership on Enchanted Parkway South. “As a Seahawks fan, you want them to
win. And for it to come down to the end to get the shutout, it was pretty incredible.” It looked as if the Giants and Eli Manning were going to score a late, meaningless touchdown in the fourth quarter, therefore nullifying the $420,000 payout. Midway through that final quarter, New York drove the ball to the Seahawks’ 13-yard line, But Manning threw his fifth interception of the game to Earl Thomas in the end zone with 4:17 remaining in the game, preserving the shutout.
“That interception was incredible,” said Johnson, who watched the game at home with his family. “After that, my phone started ringing and it was craziness.” Following the game, Johnson drove to Jet Chevrolet and there were actually people coming into the dealership wanting to sign up for the promotion. “Since it’s happened, the hype has been crazy,” said Johnson, who has given numerous interviews to ESPN and other national organiza[ more SEAHAWKS, page 2 ]

Other winners during Monday’s drawing included Glen Warren, Patricia Andrew, Nick Babich, Tom Lorovich, Antonio Perez, Scott Campbell, Richard Corra, Jeff Vandel, Angela Scott and Steven Pasek. It was Seattle’s first shutout since a 58-0 blowout over Arizona on Dec. 9 last year. The last time the Giants were shut out at home in the regular season was week one of
the 1995 season, when they lost to the Dallas Cowboys 35-0. Johnson originally wanted to do the shutout promotion last week when the Seahawks played the San Francisco 49ers, but he said working out the rules to make sure the giveaway was legal and in accordance with state regulations pushed it back a week. “We were just trying to get it done right,” he said. According to ESPN, shutout giveaways in NFL games are pretty popular endeavors. But the last time one of them actually worked was back in 2006, when World Furniture Mall in Illinios, gave away about $300,000 worth of furniture because it promised to cover consumer purchases up to

College, relies solely on school grants and loans for her income. “You wait on school income and here it is the end of the quarter,” said Pederson, whose children attend Lake Grove Elementary and Lakota Middle School. “So without this, I wouldn’t have been able to provide my kids Christmas presents.” But it wasn’t easy for Pederson to get the help her family needed. When a school official first told her about the event, she felt embarrassed. “I think that sometimes our pride gets in the way and as a parent who is in need I must put that to the side and accept the help when it’s offered,” said Pederson, who is pursuing a degree in social work. “It’s hard to walk in a place where you feel people may judge your situation. The people at Grace Church did anything but that. They were all so caring and the fact the event was for the whole family made me feel OK with accepting the help.” During the event, one room was set up for kids to do activities, including creating a gift for their parents. Another room was set up for parents, where they could look through new toys and stocking stuffers set up on several tables, with the help of personal shoppers dressed as elves. Families were also provided with stockings, gift wrapping and were sent home with a Christmas ham for their family dinner. “A lot of families don’t have access to gift wrapping and things like scissors,”
Ayden Vega, 1, holds a stuffed turtle during the event at Grace Church on Dec. 13. Carrie rodriguez, Federal Way Mirror
noted Pederson, who said it was helpful that volunteers were on hand to provide personal gift wrapping. Giovanna Vega was at the event with her 1-yearold son, Ayden, and Vega’s brother, a second grader at Adelaide Elementary. “I think it’s really good because the economy is really bad and many of us can’t buy the things we need, so it makes me feel really good that there’s people willing to help you out,” Vega said. Federal Way Deputy Chief Andy Hwang, who volunteered at the event with his wife and two children, said the department has held the event for the past 17 years. Three years ago, they partnered with Grace Church so they could reach more families in need. Federal Way police this year raised $4,700 through a put-put golf tournament and donated those funds to the program. The Korum for Kids Foundation also contributed an additional $5,000. About 80 volunteers also helped out during the event, which was sponsored by Cash America,
Woodstone Credit Union, Heritage Bank, Black Bear Diner, Soroptismist of Federal Way, H-Mart, Great Northwest Truck Show and the Kiwanis Club of Federal Way. “I’ve seen a couple of parents come in and they have tears in their eyes,” said Brian Wilson, Federal Way police chief, who also attended the event. “There may not be any words exchanged but to see how appreciative families are drives a lot of us.” Wilson said the department hopes to double the amount of families they can serve next year. Gayle Tucker, a records specialist with the Federal Way Police Department, has been involved with the program since its inception. “It’s all about the kids,” she said. She recalled when the program first began, she would collect all the money the department raised and buy gifts from Walmart. She would bring the toys back to the office, where records staff would help her wrap the gifts. “We had [an officer] dress up as Santa and deliver toys to families,” Tucker said. “He would just pull up to the house in a patrol car and the kids would see Santa getting out. It was great just seeing the look on kids’ faces as they saw Santa and said, ‘Wow, they are good guys.’ Jon McIntosh, the pastor of Grace Church who helped to organize the event with his wife Wendy, said one of the most valuable things to him about the program is it shows the community that police provide a

level of care far beyond law enforcement. But ultimately, it’s all about empowerment, he said. The program empowers parents to choose their children’s Christmas presents, children to create presents for their parents and empowers the community to serve each other. “We want to empower people,” said McIntosh, who is also a volunteer chaplain for the police department. “It’s like throwing a rock in a pond. The ripples that go out of joy and fulfillment are far beyond the families who are being served.”

Thank you FWPS board members for service I am writing to recognize and thank outgoing Federal Way Public Schools board members Angela Griffin and Ed Barney. Both Angela and Ed are committed parents who care so much about education that they were willing
New council will learn, and make mistakes “We need a new city council,” stated a handful of disgruntled voters four years ago. They wanted the Federal Way Council to adopt term limits as they felt throwing out the council by limiting their time in office was the only way they could get the council they wanted. Term limits weren’t necessary as time and politics have stepped in to change five of the seven council members in a few short years and give those voters what they wanted - a new city council. But the city council that meets next month will be one of the most inexperienced councils since incorporation. And we don’t know how they will work together and what they might accomplish. But what a difference! Previously, the council had Linda Kochmar who was elected in 1998 and served 14 years. She left the council when she was elected to the state Legislature, where she is completing her first year. Roger Freeman was the “new guy” on the council when he was elected in 2010, but he also left earlier this year when he was elected to the Legislature. Their appointed replacements were Diana Noble-Gulliford and Kelly Maloney. Neither had served in elected office before. Maloney was elected to her own term this past November, while Noble-Gulliford lost to Martin Moore. Moore has no previous elected experience. Mike Park was appointed in 1995 and had served for more than 16 years when he left the council. Jack Dovey was off and on the council twice and served for 16 years before losing to Bob Celski. Current Councilmember Dini Duclos started her council service in 2008 and at six years will rank second in seniority come January. Jeanne Burbidge will be the senior member of the council as she was just elected to her fifth term on the council.
Councilmembers Susan Honda and Celski have each served two years. Jim Ferrell has been on the council for 10 years. But he will resign to become mayor and will be replaced by a vote of the council. We don’t yet know who will replace Ferrell, but of the leading contenders none has any elected experience. Some of the newer council members have served on city boards or commissions, and of course have gotten elected saying they are ready to serve. And while it is true each brings skills, passion and commitment to making the city a better place, the reality is they are not yet very knowledgable about how a city actually works. They will learn, but they will also make mistakes. Most seasoned council members will tell you it takes two years just to understand the jargon, breadth of responsibilities and legal requirements. And that it takes four years to really be able to grasp the city budget and function as a fully knowledgeable council member. The council of four years ago had more than seven decades of combined experience. Council debates were impressive in their depth and knowledge. If you delete Burbidge’s 16 years, the new council will have about 11 years of combined experience, Duclos with six, Celski and Honda with two, Maloney with one and Moore and the new member with none. That’s an average of 10 years, versus two years of experience. But while experience is truly important, relationships often can be even more important. On the most recent council, Ferrell, Honda, Maloney and Noble-Gulliford formed a loose block with Burbidge, Duclos and Celski on the other side. We just saw a significant political move regarding a vote on the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) that also revealed [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ] Bob Roegner

was listening to the radio the other day — you know, one of the stations that plays holiday music 24 hours a day this time of year. The song “Do You Hear What I Hear?” came on, and I started wondering…. Do you see what I see? I see the tide turning for marriage equality in our country, and people dancing in the night. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have passed marriage equality laws. Furthermore, eight of New Mexico’s 33 counties, accounting for over half their population, issue or plan to issue same-sex marriage licenses. Same-sex marriage is also possible in several Native American Tribal jurisdictions. On the tail of the Defense of Marriage Act being overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, CNNMoney reports that “a record 304 U.S. companies boast perfect ‘corporate equality’ scores of 100 from the Human Rights Campaign.” “Corporate equality” refers to a company’s nondiscrimination policies protecting LGBT employees, same-sex health benefits, transgender-inclusive medical insurance and public support of LGBT equality. Do you hear what I hear? I hear songs of love, high above the trees, being sung in honor of those who are committing their lives to each other, no matter what their sexual orientation. I hear voices as big as the sea rising up to demand inclusion and equality. I hear corporations, faith communities, schools and families welcoming people into their midst, whether they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, or straight. I hear progress. Do you know what I know? I know there is still a lot of work to do. Equal rights are still an uphill battle in too many places. Too many children shiver in the night because they are unwanted, either because they have been disowned due to their sexuality, or because they have run away from sexual abuse at home. Too many of our children end up being sexually trafficked. Right here in Federal Way, the Federal Way Coalition Against Trafficking is working to raise awareness, increase prevention programs and help those who have survived this horrific experience. Consider giving some of your silver to this golden cause this holiday season. Listen to what I say. I am not a mighty king. However, I hope you will listen when I say that even though there has been progress, we have so much more work to do. We need to continue to improve our efforts to provide top-notch sexuality education to our youth so they can be safe in relationships and make better decisions. We need to keep advocating for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities to be fully included members of our society, instead of living in fear of harm. We need to report suspected abuse and support families who are struggling. We need to examine our own attitudes about sexuality, values, roles and relationships. We need to keep growing. I hope you will join me in continuing to do the work of bringing goodness and light, in the form of education, support, and inclusivity, to all our children.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Raising minimum wage means more McRobots Q: Mr. Federal Way, what is your opinion on raising the minimum wage to $15? A: Raising the minimum wage is all the rage right now around the Puget Sound after voters in SeaTac agreed to raise theirs last month. Mr. Federal Way hasn’t really thought a lot about what a $15 minimum wage would mean in Federal Way. But, at first glance, it really seems like it would impact businesses and cost a smaller city, like SeaTac, a lot of money. Especially fast food restaurants. Burger flippers at places like McDonalds would have their wages nearly doubled with the $15 minimum wage. Currently, Washington has the nation’s highest state minimum wage at $9.19 an hour. Proponents of the $15 minimum wage, as well as SeaTac voters, say the plan will support the local economy and particularly help thousands of workers who could use the money. But Mr. Federal Way doesn’t see it that way. Mr. Federal Way thinks the new wage increase will lead to more use of robots at fast food restaurants, essentially eliminating the minimum wage worker. Think about it, how many McManagers does McDonalds really need? A restaurant could use an ATM kiosk-thingy to take
[ Letters from page 4]
with staff to question and clarify, possible pre-meeting work-study and/or executive session. For those paid days, directors will earn well under minimum wage. Everything else is completely donated time. In addition to the time commitment, Angela and Ed have spent many hours in their private lives listening, explaining, discussing and debating education with family, friends and neighbors – even when they would have preferred taking off the school board hat and just be-
orders inside the restaurant and drive-thru. Robots could also make burgers, McNuggets, fries and pour pop. The only thing you actually need a “live body” for, would be to possibly clean up the inside and outside of the restaurant. And why wouldn’t you just hire a maid service and a landscaping company from a city that doesn’t have the $15 minimum wage to do that stuff? Is Mr. Federal Way the only one who thinks that the robots are taking over, man? Pretty soon there’s going to be a robot that can sit behind a computer and write an unfunny and nonthought-provoking questionand-answer column about stuff going on in Federal Way. Q: I kind of made a spectacle of myself at my company’s holiday party last year. What are some of Mr. Federal Way’s suggestions for rectifying the situation at this year’s party? A: Great question and one that’s pretty prudent just five days before Christmas. There will be plenty of companies hosting parties. The best advice Mr. Federal Way can give anybody attending a holiday party is to control your intake. This not only includes controlling your alcoholic intake, but also your food intake.
ing Angela and Ed. They have had to be extra watchful for their own children, who were occasionally judged or confronted by others because of their parents’ role in the district. They have given up many evenings with their families to advocate for other families. Angela and Ed have shown Federal Way authentic servant leadership. They are each honest, earnest, passionate and humble. They have given their best, and I thank them for their service.
Amye Bronson-Doherty, Federal Way
Being a stumbling drunk who dances on the tables and makes out with a co-worker is obviously the nightmare of any office party. But people also don’t forget the person who went back for thirds and fourths on the prime rib and mashed potatoes. In terms of alcohol, you need to become accustomed to the term moderation. If you aren’t a professional drinker, like Mr. Federal Way, put yourself on a two-drink limit. Trust Mr. Federal Way, things will work out better for you. Another big key to surviving the company holiday is to always be a good wingman or wing-woman. Like Maverick stated in Top Gun, “You never, never leave your wingman.” Mr. Federal Way has always made that abundantly clear to Mrs. Federal Way before each one of her company parties. Mrs. Federal Way works in the tech industry, meaning Mr. Federal Way really has nothing in common with her workmates. These tech types really don’t like talking about sports and would rather drink a Chardonnay than a Bud Light. They think the Seahawks are going for the team’s first World Series title and think Russell Wilson is a mid-level manager in their company and not the All-Pro quarterback in Seattle. So, be sure to introduce your significant other to your workmates and don’t abandon them at the party. Also, direct conver-
Federal Way desperately needs affordable housing As a resident of Federal Way, I would like to comment on the Park 16 Project application for revenue bond financing, as well as the City of Federal Way’s official comments on this project. The most glaring statistics on this subject are those provided by the U.S. Census, American Community Survey from 2012 for the City of Federal Way. It finds
sations to topics that will be interesting to your significant other and keep the “work talk” to a minimum. In conclusion, have fun, but not too much fun. Q: Mr. Federal Way, obviously you didn’t win the Mega Millions because you aren’t Mr. San Jose or Mr. Atlanta. What would you have done with $500 million, had you won? A: If Mr. Federal Way had won the Mega Millions Tuesday night, this column wouldn’t be appearing in the newspaper. If Mr. Federal Way was holding one of those winning tickets, Mr. Federal Way would have retired from work, permanently. Mr. Federal Way wouldn’t be like some of those weirdos who win millions in the lottery and say, “I love my job. I’m just going to keep working.” What? Mr. Federal Way could have the best job in the world, something like a beer taster or a professional steak eater and Mr. Federal Way would submit his retirement notice a minute after seeing that winning ticket. Q: Mr. Federal Way, do you have a Facebook or Twitter account? It would be super awesome to follow you? A: None of your business.
Got a question for Mr. Federal Way? Email mrfederalway@federalwaymirror. com
that an incredible 28.2 percent of Federal Way renters are paying a gross rent as a percentage of household income that is 50 percent or greater. Let me repeat, more than a quarter of all renters residing within Federal Way are paying more than half of their income in rent. It’s shocking. Also, the Census report finds that another 14 percent are paying between 40 percent and 49.9 percent of household income on rent.

a potential new voting block of Burbidge, Duclos, Celski and Moore. It will be interesting to watch the relationships change or solidify. Moore becomes a potential swing vote. Will this council learn and rise to the level of statesmanship? Or will we say to those unhappy voters, “Be careful what you ask for.”

The Twin Lakes Post Office was the apparent victim of mail theft, after police discovered that unknown suspects tampered with an exterior mail drop-off box sometime between Saturday, Dec. 14 and Monday, Dec. 16. A wheeled mail cart was also tampered with, leaving mail strewn throughout the parking lot, according to the police report filed with the Federal Way Police Department (FWPD). The case has been forwarded to the United States Postal Inspector Service (USPIS), according to FWPD. FWPD spokesperson Cathy Schrock noted that the department does typically see an uptick in mail theft during the holiday season. The USPIS offers these tips for keeping mail secure during the holiday season: • Never send cash or coins in the mail. Use checks or money orders. • Promptly remove mail from your mailbox after delivery, especially if you’re expecting checks, credit cards, or other negotiable items. If you won’t be home when the items are expected, ask a trusted friend or neighbor to pick up your mail. • Have your local post office hold your mail while you’re on vacation, or absent from your home for a long period of time. • If you don’t receive a check or other valuable mail you’re expecting, contact the issuing agency immediately. • If you change your address, immediately notify your post office and anyone with whom you do business via the mail. • Always deposit your mail in a mail slot at your local post office, or hand it to your letter carrier. If you observe a mail thief at work, call
the local police immediately, and then call the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 877876-2455.
Police searching for bank robbery suspect From staff reports
An unknown suspect is wanted for robbing the Federal Way Heritage Bank and fleeing on foot Dec. 10. The crime took place at about 4:45 p.m. at the bank located at 32303 Pacific Highway South. The suspect was able to make off with approximately $3,370 from one of the bank tellers, according to the Federal Way police report. The suspect wore a “blue baseball cap, blue ski jacket, blue jeans and gloves.” According to the teller, the suspect “passed (the teller) a lengthy note written on a crumpled piece of white paper written in black Sharpie pen or black ink,” the report continues. The note instructed the teller to give the suspect “fifties and one hundred dollar bills, no dye packs,” and the word “gun” was also written on the note. The teller complied with the note, putting $50 and $100 bills on the counter for the suspect. The suspect then instructed her to give him $20 bills as well. According to information provided by Federal Way police, the “suspect took time to put the bills neatly together and then fold the bills in half, saying ‘Thank you’ to (the teller).” The suspect was described as an African American male, light-skinned with a five-oclock shadow and slender build. Witnesses said the suspect was above 5-feet, 11-inches tall to about 6 feet, 11 inches. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact the Federal Way Police Department at (253) 835-6700.

Boy, 14, receives a dream trip to Disney World From Staff Reports
Fourteen-year-old Matthew Glabek from Federal Way was recently granted a dream trip to central Florida by the Sunshine Foundation, which answers the dreams of children living with life-long chronic illnesses, physical challenges, or the trauma of abuse. Matthew and his family visited Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld Orlando, and the Walt Disney World Resort. One of the highlights of the trip for Mat-
unique art form was something that she stumbled upon, she said, but has been a mainstay of her work for some time now. “As soon as I started to paint icons, I knew I wanted to paint a whole lot of other things,” she said. “I started landscaping, which took me into underground painting, which I’ve been doing for 14 years,” she shared. While the purpose of the exhibition is partially commercial, Mallonee said the chance to share her art with the community is just as important. “What really makes an event like this get my blood going, is the pleasure of seeing lots of different kinds of people enjoy the art, interact with it, see things in it that maybe I haven’t seen myself,” she said. “When you get to show a whole lot of art, you get to share your heart.

She has plans to teach both adult and youth classes starting in January, and hopes this weekend’s show will also help spread awareness that she will be offering those classes to the community. “In terms of what I want to accomplish with the show, in a way there’s also a teaching function,” she said. “We don’t have the luxury of having well-funded public schools for kids to get instruction in art, and we don’t have the infrastructure in Federal Way for adults to learn either.

She writes that the experience is valuable for all involved. While there may be obstacles in communication or other issues, both the SVDP students and the older special needs students are able to find common ground by the time all is said and done, Vance noted. “They may discover that they share the same taste in music, clothing or video games. By the end of the two hours, kids on both sides who may have started out feeling shy and awkward are usually smiling and laughing together,” she wrote. Vance indicated that it “takes many hands to make this all work.” Perhaps one of the most integral parts of the service project is the students’ chance to have
a photo taken with Santa. This role has been performed by Joe Penwell for years, according to Vance, who described Penwell as a “selfless individual who gives and gives and gives.” Target also helps out, providing an employee to play an elf for the Santa pictures, and also wrapping and tagging the gifts for the students at no extra cost. Vance’s fellow teacher at SVDP, Marie Lilley, has been an integral part of this event as well, Vance shared. All in all, Vance writes that this yearly tradition is something that has a positive impact for all involved. “Each and every year, our kids go over and above, leaping out of their comfort zones to try to assure that our guests have the time of

ies, custodians and similar support staff. “While it is deemed an ‘excess levy,’ it is really an integral and core part of what we do every day in the school district,” McLean shared. If approved by voters, the de-facto tax rate for the levy would be $4.95 per $1,000 of assessed value. An important factor to take into consideration, McLean said, is that with the previous EPO levy, the district has essentially been able to provide
savings to the taxpayers because of other funding streams, meaning the full $53 million did not need to be collected by the district. They anticipate that would be the case for this levy, as well, Mclean said. “It’s anticipated that the legal authority and actual tax collections and tax rates will continue to be less than what we’re asking for with the $53 million replacement levy,” she said. To learn more, visit www.fwps.org.
Federal Way school board sends replacement levy to voters by Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
The Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) Board of Directors voted unanimously on Dec. 3 to approve sending a replacement Educational Program and Operations (EPO) levy to voters on Feb. 11, 2014. The replacement EPO levy will be for $53 million a year between the years 2015-2018. Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Sally McLean outlined the need
for the replacement EPO levy, highlighting that it’s integral to the day-to-day operations of the district. “The expiring levy pays for almost one-fifth, or 20 percent, of our daily operations,” she said. “An easy way to think about this is that the educational business is dependent on people. We have people teaching students, feeding students, cleaning up after students…If you think about the levy, and not having the levy, we would lose about one out of every five
staff members who support our educational programs.” McLean highlighted the point that what voters will be asked to approve in February is not an expansion of programs, but rather the EPO levy “allows current programs to continue.” The levy pays for general fund costs related to athletics and activities, providing for the Americorps and Junior ROTC programs throughout the district, and also programs such as the International Baccalaureate and Cambridge programs.
“It provides additional support per student,” she said. McLean gave another metric that shows the need for the EPO, saying that if it was eliminated, classroom size would increase by two students. The EPO pays for about 8 percent of the district’s total teaching staff, and also pays for 100 percent of the “additional time and responsibility pay for all of our teachers.” The EPO also covers 16 percent of “classified” staff, which includes secretar-

Elections are about change. Sadly, they are not about results. As voters, we have to put our faith in those we elect to be good stewards. We can support their efforts and be part of the dialogue by attending their public meetings. As we ponder what is next for our city and what may occur in 2014 and beyond, I’d like to offer some considerations for moving Federal Way forward in its challenges for creating a next generation sustainable community. Quality schools and education are paramount for creating a positive impression and value for the community. But, it does not happen in a
vacuum. Quality comes from Way as the opportunity that having high expectations for its initial developers believed the students, staff and a sense it could be. of collective responsibility While this city was from the student’s family and conceived in the hey-day the community. of suburban planning as a Success does not come counterpoint to the ills of from blaming; it comes from Seattle and Tacoma, we have encouragement and creating grown to share many of the a supportive environment in same challenges.

This will require a In terms of economic debetter-educated workforce velopment, we need to make and a more entrepreneurial our case for, “Why Federal attitude. Way.” We need to see Federal Government creates the
infrastructure for residents to benefit from quality-of-life amenities and for businesses to set up shop. But for business growth, relocations to occur and entrepreneurship to take root, it requires quality schools, cultural amenities and mobility access. Businesses recognize that when solid community resources are in place, they are able to maximize their investment. We need to capitalize on our location and resources. Federal Way is ideally situated to attract international businesses due to its proximity to the airport and two seaports. This city has several office park buildings that are underutilized and available for high tech, financial, engineering or other businesses that require highly educated
people. Federal Way may be late to the challenge of being an incorporated city but its potential has yet to be realized. What is missing is a can-do attitude. We must work to overcome this city’s entrenched negativity and propensity for thinking small. So as we reflect on our personal and collective blessings this holiday season, I’d like each of us to appreciate the successes this city has achieved and consider what we can do to make Federal Way a next generation city of choice.
All of the excitement about the Federal Way School District’s grading system is enough to make a person’s head spin. Terms like Power Law, Conditional Grading Matrix, Power Standards and Common Core mean very little to the average citizen in our district. For those of you trying to follow along at home, let me offer my explanation of the issues and major players involved with what many in the community see as “grading system hell.”
system. The requirements of any particular letter grade varied dramatically from school to school, teacher to teacher and even student to student. These grades typically relied heavily on averaging, which tended to hide areas where a student was struggling. Altogether, this system made it difficult to know from a student’s transcript where they needed help. Fast forward several decades and we have the Federal Way School District trying to implement an objective grading system that clearly shows students, parents and teachers exactly where additional work is needed. Many
of the country’s leading education experts support the logic behind the district’s grading system. So how did we go from the noble goal of accurately measuring student performance to having literally hundreds of outraged students, parents and teachers?
for college and/or qualify for a good student insurance discount? More importantly, the district failed to clearly explain the rationale behind their decisions, assuming that students, parents and teachers would just follow along. The district’s biggest mistake in this process was failing to proactively reach out to parents and teachers prior to implementation. Next, we have the teachers who are learning their fourth set of grading policies in as many years. While the school board and administration were traveling the world and enjoying large raises, teachers were the ones having to explain to parents and students a grading system that nobody understands.
It baffles me that the district thought they could be successful without having teachers who support, or at least understand, the new grading system. While employee buy-in is important for any organization, it is critical for an organization where you have virtually no ability to fire employees trying to undermine management. Last, but certainly not least, we have parents and taxpayers. This group can be split into two parts. First, we have those citizens who want to see results for the $200 million they pay in taxes to the school district each year. These people are upset with what they see as misguided policies, poor performance and a lack of accountability. They are not necessarily opposed to a new grading system, but are upset that the district implemented a grading system without proper testing or adequate stakeholder feedback. Our second group of parents, which includes a handful of teachers and students, are only angry because their child “deserved” an “A” but received a “C.” This group lives in the fairy tale that students should be graded on effort, not results and that teachers should be allowed to assign grades using their very subjective “professional judgment.” These are typically the same people who believe that their little Jimmy can do no wrong. Frankly, this latter group should be ignored.

MY PERSPECTIVE
n the spirit of the holiday season I feel it is important to reflect on the blessings of community. Federal Way is home to nearly 90,000 people, but it has an impact on many more because of its location and many businesses located here are regional, national or global. Federal Way is a decent place to live. It is also a city that, from my perspective, could be great. The legacy of our cumulative choices before and since incorporation has built a basic needs city. But growing a city is a continuum, a process of constant change and, of course, there is room for improvement.

IF I WERE CZAR
Finding solutions to this grading system hell The players First, we have the school board and district administration. As the old saying goes, the path to hell is paved with good intentions. While the district did some testing prior to implementation, they failed to consider the unintended consequences of their grading system. For example, without reporting a GPA each quarter, how were students to apply
While an entire column could be dedicated to the mistakes the district made leading us into this grading hell, there is no sense dwelling in the past (unless, of course, we are finally going to hold a government agency accountable for results). Going forward, the district needs to work closely with, and listen to, stakeholders. They need to clearly communicate the logic behind their decisions, while working closely with parents, teachers and students to implement any changes. In this process, administration must stop hiding behind “we’re professionals” and instead acknowledge that with test scores well below state averages, they can use all the help they can get. Unfortunately, this grading system hell is only the most recent in a series of poor decisions made by the school board and district administration. One can only hope that the district, along with our new school board members, can find solutions to this grading system, while also trying to restore community confidence. The real gauge of community confidence will come in February when the district asks voters to renew their $53 million operations levy.

Man charged in deadly I-5 crash near Federal Way From staff reports
A Renton man was charged with vehicular homicide and reckless endangerment on Dec. 13 in connection with a deadly crash on I-5 near Federal Way in November 2012. Stephen J. Palmer, 22, is alleged to have been under the influence of alcohol and marijuana when he lost control of his vehicle on I-5, setting off a chain reaction that ultimately resulted in the death of truck driver Joseph Bartkowski. According to King County prosecutors, Palmer lost control of his Nissan Altima on I-5 near Federal Way and crashed into a guardrail. Palmer and his three passengers were able to safely exit the vehicle. A second vehicle collided with Palmer’s vehicle, which was still on the roadway at the time. The driver of the second car was able to bring their vehicle to a controlled stop off the highway. Bartkowski, driving a tanker truck with 9,000 gallons of aviation fuel as its load, came upon the crash and attempted to swerve to avoid Palmer’s vehicle. His truck tipped over, bursting into flame and spilling aviation fuel across I-5. Bartkowski, a 68-year-old man from Sumner who was days from retirement, was killed in the crash. Palmer later admitted to police that he consumed alcohol and smoked marijuana prior to driving his car. His blood alcohol content that police drew three hours after the crash showed .065. Palmer is scheduled for arraignment at 9 a.m. Dec. 26 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center.

Doxon Toyota to sponsor youth soccer By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The two organizations that govern youth soccer in Federal Way entered into a historic sponsorship deal with a local car dealership late last week. Federal Way Mod Soccer Club (FWMSC) and the Federal Way Football Club (FWFC) will now be sponsored by Doxon Toyota in Auburn. The company is owned by John Doxon, who is a lifelong resident of Federal Way and had children who played soccer in the city. “This is a pretty big deal for all the soccer players in Federal Way,” said FWMSC President Kimberly
Miller-Olson. “This is going to help a lot of kids.” The “significant” two-year sponsorship by Doxon Toyota will go toward programming and scholarships in Federal Way for all kids who are playing within the two organizations, according to FWFC President Josh Cheatam. The Doxon logo will now be displayed on all the uniforms and training shirts, among other things. “(Doxon) had kids that have played in the club and I think he was looking for some other opportunities for the kids of Federal Way,” Cheatam said. The partnership with Doxon was announced at FWFC Night Dec. 11
at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Over 200 people attended the event, which concluded with a game between FWFC Boys ‘95 and NW Nationals ‘95. The Federal Way team won 2-1. Aside from Doxon being a resident of Federal Way, another key aspect to his sponsorship of the clubs is the fact that both cater to all levels of soccer in the city. Federal Way Mod consists of children ages 5 through 10 and Federal Way Football Club includes children ages 10 through 18. “I think this partnership with Doxon is going to help our mission to serve the kids in Federal Way, [ more soccer page 25 ]
It’s been three years since Robert “Hurricane” Harris drowned during a family barbecue at Lake Tapps. The former Decatur High School wrestler went into the lake in September 2011 to retrieve a football that was floating on the water. It’s also been three years since the Decatur wrestling proZimmerman gram started hosting the Hurricane Harris Memorial Invitational Tournament to honor the former standout. And it’s been only fitting that the Gators have won all three of them. The latest Hurricane crown came Saturday for Decatur. The Gators dominated the 16-team tournament, tallying 216 team points. Lincoln finished second with 143.5 points and Kent-Meridian was third with 137.5. But to further illustrate the Gators’ dominance, the school’s “B Team” finished in fifth place in the team standings with 88.5 points. Decatur crowned five individual weight champions [ more wrap up page 25 ]

State health officials remind public flu vaccinations still available From staff reports
With the Pacific Northwest well in the grips of winter weather, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is reminding residents that flu vaccinations are still available and easily accessible. The reminder comes in the wake of the death of a woman in her 50s in the Tri Cities area who was confirmed to have died from flu-related issues. “Getting a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important thing you can do to protect yourself and avoid spreading the flu to others, especially people who may be more vulnerable,” said State Health officer Dr. Maxine Hayes. “There are many options of the flu vaccine this year. Ask your health care provider about which one is best for you and your family.” DOH notes that flu vaccines are recommended for everyone six months and older, and that it’s especially important for groups who are considered “high risk” to receive the vaccine: children, people 65 and over, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions. Some children under age 9 may need two doses of the vaccine, about two months apart. In Washington state, the flu vaccine is available for free
for all children through age 18. The DOH added that most health plans cover flu vaccinations. For more information, the DOH recommends calling the Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588.
Liam, Sophia most popular baby names in Washington for 2012 From staff reports
Liam and Sophia were the most popular baby names for 2012, according to data compiled by the Washington State Depart-
December 20, 2013 [35] ment of Health (DOH). According to DOH, there were 87,415 babies born in the state during 2012. Liam took the top spot for the most popular boy name by just one child, according to DOH, edging out Mason. The year marked Liam’s continued rise in popularity, with the name first cracking the top 10 in 2010. In 2012, 409 baby boys were named Liam, compared to 408 for Mason, out of a total of 44,696 baby boys born during the year. Sophia continued its dominance as the most popular name for baby girls, taking the top spot for the third year in a row.
Out of 42,719 girls born in the state this year, 473 were named Sophia, with Emma taking second place with 456 newborns given the classic name. Sophia has been a mainstay on the most popular name list since 2007, according to the DOH. The DOH notes that 10,533 different names were listed for girls and 7,761 different names were used for boys throughout the years. Charlie and Gwyneth were some of the more unique names for baby girls, while Philip and Mustafa were some of the least-chosen names for boys. To learn more, visit www.doh.wa.gov.
