Budget news: 1% increase in property taxes
City will pay more for trash collection Rates apply to both commericial and residential service

Federal Way will see increased rates for garbage collection beginning in January. Rob Van Orsow, Federal Way’s solid waste and recycling program coordinator, said the biggest impact will be on commercial customers, but residents will also feel a bit of an extra tug on their wallets because of the increases. “Looking at commercial, we used a 1-cubic-yard dumpster, and they would be looking at about $7.50 more a month,” he told the Federal Way City Council during its Nov. 15 meeting. “For residential we chose a 35-gallon cart because that’s the service level most customers are at…(these increases) would impact this (example) by about $1.30 a month.” Von Orsow said there are three components to garbage services from the King County Solid Waste division and how they’re charged. The three components are service, disposal and taxes and surcharges. For 2012, the service increase will be 3.2 percent. The largest increase will come from the disposal component, with the King County Council having decided to increase the fee per ton from $95 per ton to $114 per ton. “(That fee) has not increased for 40 years,” Von Orsow said. The surcharge and tax [ more GARBAGE, page 7 ]

Patti Mullen was named the new CEO of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce. She has been president and CEO of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce since 2003. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror
Three adjustments Federal Way will make to its budget include factoring in a property tax increase of one percent, an increase in the gambling tax, and factoring in liquor revenues. With the passage of I-1183 (privatized liquor initiative), the city could see more state tax revenues from liquor ranging in the millions of dollars — an important addition in today’s cash-strapped economy.
Federal Way finance director Tho Kraus gave a presentation to the Federal Way City Council on Nov. 15, updating the council on mid-biennium adjustments being made to the city’s 2011-12 budget. The city is required by state law to make these adjustments before the end of the year, Kraus said. Kraus covered a number of items that needed to be adjusted midstream for the city’s budget.

A small group of Federal Way residents will be subject to a few more regulations in the near future, thanks to an updated coastal flood hazard mapping project that King County and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is in the
process of completing. In total, 44 structures/ residences are now in the danger zone for coastal flooding, according to FEMA. Because of this, any property owner in the flood hazard zone who has a federally backed home loan will be required to purchase flood insurance. During a special meeting of the Federal Way

Funding cuts will hurt the elderly in S. King County BY TRICIA SCHUG Communication manager, Multi-Service Center
GUEST
COLUMN
If Gov. Chris Gregoire’s proposed $327,000 slash of annual funding for the Washington State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program goes into effect, thousands of vulnerable older adults in South King County will be at risk of abuse, neglect and exploitation. The statewide Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTCOP), operated by Multi-Service Center in Federal Way, is made up of a network of trained volunteers, local professional ombudsmen and community members who advocate for people living in long-term care facilities. The program works to ensure that residents in long-term care facilities receive good quality of life and care by providing information to consumers about their rights as residents, by working to resolve problems on behalf of residents, and by advocating for improvements in the long-term care system. The LTCOP has already sustained a recent $612,000 permanent cut in federal funding this year. This additional cut proposed by the governor will mean a total of 48-percent slash to the program. What’s at stake? If the cut goes through as planned, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program will lose regional offices that provide technical support and guidance to 400 certified ombudsmen who ensure the safety and quality care of residents living in nursing homes, adult family homes and assisted living facilities across the state. Regional offices are critical in their support of the 400 ombudsmen. Without regional support, there will be a decrease in investigations and resolutions of resident complaints, as well as a loss of support for families and support for volunteer ombudsmen. Protections of residents will be lost. LTCOP makes a difference. Last year, volunteer ombudsmen with LTCOP made 20,631 routine visits to 3,676 of the state’s long-term care facilities. While on these visits, ombudsmen: t .FFU POF PO POF XJUI SFTJEFOUT UP TQFBL confidentially with them about their care t 'BDJMJUBUF DPNNVOJDBUJPO CFUXFFO GBDJMJUJFT and residents t 1SPWJEF DPOTVMUBUJPOT UP GBNJMZ NFNCFST about resident concerns and much more In 2010, ombudsmen investigated 5,538 complaints on behalf of 3,746 individuals.

Welcome to Occupy Federal Way The Occupy Wall Street bandwagon, driven by thousands of protesters nationwide, finally reached Federal Way. Don’t go looking for camping colonies, tent cities or raging mobs. A handful of financially frustrated residents, representing a range of ages, formed a discussion group that meets in the library on 320th Street. Their second meeting is 3 p.m. Saturday. Political and anti-corporate drama aside, kudos to these citizens. They created a local forum for public dialogue. They are attempting to engage the public’s attention and energies. Regardless of whether the participants solve any issues or just gripe, this gathering promotes civil communication and awareness. On The Mirror’s website is a poll question: Do you support the Occupy Wall Street movement? Of those who responded, 57 percent said no. The informal poll is not scientific, but it makes a point about whether Federal Way readers are occupied with the issue in the first place. Let’s digress for a moment and examine the name. Webster’s dictionary defines “occupy� as: t UP FOHBHF UIF BUUFOUJPO PS FOFSHJFT PG t UP UBLF VQ B QMBDF t UP UBLF PS IPME QPTTFTTJPO PS DPOUSPM PG t UP SFTJEF JO BT BO PXOFS PS UFOBOU On that note, here are a few tidbits occupying my mind about Federal Way: 1. There’s a buzz that Kohl’s wants to occupy The Commons Mall with a new department store. Nothing is official and mall management is tight-lipped. But it’s an encouraging sign for the local economy. A new big box store by this
retail giant will bring jobs and shopping opportunities to Federal Way. 2. The Mirror will print once a week, starting in January. That’s because more people occupy the Internet these days. Newspapers may change their business models, but they will still distribute a print product to hold and crinkle while you smell the ink and soak up the local zeitgeist. Thank you for reading. 3. Would you be angry at the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans if you were one of them? You’d be one if you could, and you know it. Most of those royal jesters were already born on third base thinking they hit a triple. Consider the rest who worked hard and smart. 4. It looks like the ball will begin rolling for a veterans monument in Federal Way. The Kiwanis will host an informal meeting at 1 p.m. Nov. 23 at Old Country Buffet. The buzz word is memorial, but there’s a better word. Memorial tends to represent mourning and death. Federal Way needs a timeless monument or tribute that honors the enduring spirit of America’s armed forces. This will give people another reason to occupy downtown Federal Way. Let the ideas flow. One image that occupies my mind: an 8-foot statue for each branch of the military, with each serviceman and woman in their respective branch’s uniforms. The statues are depicted standing at attention and in a circle, with their backs forming the inside of the circle. In the middle of the circle is an eternal beam of brilliant blue light that shines upward. Andy Hobbs

For those of you interested in getting involved, I encourage you to seek out one and enroll in their efforts to help save the young girls, teenagers and adult women from sex slavery. Some of those organizations will be listed at the end of this article. Young girls are brought into
this country with promise of a better life and the American dream. Then, there are young girls within our cities who leave home due to many causes; i.e.: broken homes, domestic violence (human trafficking is partly born from domestic violence), sexual abuse, trauma and other reasons. It is only a few days until pimps have these girls under their control, working the streets and hotels. Sexual exploitation is any
exchange of sex acts for money, gifts, drugs or basic needs such as food and shelter. When the girl’s performance and/or income are not what is expected by the pimps, the girls are beaten by the pimps to keep them in line. The girls cannot leave, fearing another severe beating, and they are indebted to their pimp. The people with actual power are the buyers and pimps. Unless the cities are policing
the streets and other places, the girls are in a comfort zone. They do not fear going to jail, so they practically live on the streets. These girls frequent businesses, giving the businesses a bad reputation, and customers will stop going there. These girls can be a nuisance to the public. SeaTac is among the top cities for human trafficking in the nation. This can be contributed to there being a port that brings in men who stay in the hotels/motels locally and where there are more hotels/motels, massage and bath [ more LETTERS page 5 ]
www.federalwaymirror.com [ LETTERS from page 4] parlors and a busy strip on International Boulevard. Human trafficking is not limited or isolated to SeaTac. The girls migrate into the cities south of Seattle. Federal Way has police records of arrest of these girls. Yes, they have been in our city as well as other cities south of Seattle. We need to be vigilant in reporting this type of activity in the city of Federal Way. We need to end this human trafficking. Our police, in conjunction with other South King County cities and Pierce County, need to interfere with this business, busting the “johns” (prostitution customers) and increasing the penalties, including doubling and eventually tripling fines and increasing jail time. Other punitive actions should be the suspension or loss of the john’s drivers license and the impounding of his vehicle. Once the johns are busted with stiff penalties, they will not return, therefore eliminating the trade. Girls have been arrested over and over on Pacific Highway. They have wanted to get out of that way of life. Research has shown there is nowhere for them to go. Law enforcement checks the internet on Craigslist to ID victims and perpetrators. Chris Johnson, aide to Attorney General Rob McKenna, contacts both state and federal bodies for the money to prosecute these perpetrators. The web brings alternative ways that trafficking can happen to U.S. citizens. State Sen. Tracey Eide spoke of legislative initiatives to curb human trafficking. She says the girls arrive here because of the port. In 2002, there was legislation dealing with “mail order brides.” In 2005, legislation was passed to deal with victims of trafficking, and there was legislation covering sex terrorism in 2006. In 2008, the Confidentiality Program legislation was enacted. In 2011, there was legislation providing housing to victims. The Catholic Franciscan Sisters will not stay at any hotel that has not signed a pledge not to provide rooms for human trafficking.

to the victims. Gaining the trust of a victim of human trafficking is an important first step in providing assistance. Understanding the mindset of victims is important to helping them restore their lives. Confidentiality is vital for victims of trafficking. Enlist the help of a staff member who
speaks the language of the victim. Please join us in ending human trafficking by being a part of any one of the many organizations whose goal is to end this horrible industry.

If your guest list includes a wide range of people with varied interests, then you might want to take a different turn, have your party at home and hire someone to perform at it.

The 2010 Federal Way High School graduate was 11 for 16 from the field and had eight 3-pointers. “This was a good team game,” said Fullerton head coach Bob Burton. “I’m very happy. Obviously, we have a tremendous advantage against a Div. III team with no scholarships plus we have scrimmaged UCLA and had an exhibition with Cal State L.A. while this was their first time out of the chute.” Last season as a true freshman, Umipig played in all 30 of the Titans’ games, starting six. He averaged 7.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists a game. He was selected as the 2010-11 Big West 6th Player of the year after coming off the bench in 24 of his 31 game appearances. He was also made the UCF Honor Roll (3.0 GPA or higher) during the spring quarter. “Zeke (Umipig) can really shoot it – he could be a real surprise,” said Burton. “We feel he can be one of the most talented guards in the conference.” Radford, a 2010 Thomas Jefferson grad, is also playing his sophomore season at the University of Redlands in California. The 6-foot-5 guard played in 18 games for the 16-12 Bulldogs last year and averaged 1.3 points a game. He finished with three points in 13 minutes for Redlands against Cal State Fullerton. Radford features a 3.5 GPA and is majoring in global business at the Redlands.

[ KIEL HICKS from page 10 ] the enemy attacks and their responses. “It was pretty cool,” Hicks said. During the world championships in Malaysia, Hicks rolled through several preliminary rounds and into the semifinals in the kata division. During the semifinal round, Hicks received unanimous votes from all the judges to earn the coveted spot in the finals. In the championship round, Hicks was beaten by a Japanese athlete, giving him the silver medal. In total, Hicks and the rest of Team USA took home four medals at the 2011 World Junior Karate Championships, including two silver and two bronzes in 31 events. “The plane ride was like 17 hours,” said Hicks, who was joined in Malaysia by his mother, Agnes. “We flew to Hong Kong, which was 13 hours and then four hours from Hong Kong to Malaysia. We were there for two weeks. It was really different, but cool.” Hicks earned the trip to Malaysia to compete at the world championships by winning the United States championship earlier this year in the elite male cadet kata (forms). The USA Karate National Championships and Team Trials were held in Arlington, Texas, in July. Hicks participated in four divisions, including two kata divisions and two kumite (fighting) divisions. In total, Hicks came home with two gold medals, one silver and one bronze. This was Hicks’ third year as a member of Team USA. He has competed in the 2009 and 2010 Junior Pan American Karate Championships in El Salvador and Quebec. This was his first year of eligibility to compete in the world championships. “I’ve been doing karate for six years now,” said Hicks, who is a junior black belt because you can’t receive a full black belt until you are 16 years old. “Just one day my dad said I should start doing something and I had thought about doing karate. I like everything about karate. I like the traveling and the conditioning.” During the karate “offseason,” Hicks trains an hour a day, three days a week. But while preparing for big tournaments, that changes to eight hours a day, four days a week during the summer months. But karate isn’t Hicks’ only interest — far from it. The TJ freshman is pretty much great at everything he touches. To illustrate the versatility of Hicks, he held his own benefit solo piano concert to raise funds for this trip to Malaysia. “I’ve been doing the piano for eight years now,” Hicks said. “I just heard the piano being played a couple times and really liked it. It’s pretty relaxing.” Hicks also participated in the 2010-11 Valley Regional Solo and Ensemble Contest at the high-school level in piano as an eighth-grader at Totem Middle School and received a Superior rating — the highest given out. Hicks also plays the drums and is currently a member of Thomas Jefferson’s drum line. He also plays ukulele and guitar. In terms of academics, Hicks was nominated by Totem Middle School’s Kate Gibson for the United States Achievement Academy for Math Excellence. This award resulted in Hicks’ selection as one of the Academy’s All-American scholars. His biography will appear in the 2010-11 USAA Yearbook, which is set to be published in mid-December, according to his mother, Agnes. Hicks is also turning out for the Thomas Jefferson wrestling team and is looking to occupy the Raiders’ 103-pound slot. Last year, at Totem, Hicks finished in second place in the district.

“This data, at the end of this point, is the best available information for coastal areas, so this goes a long way to better documenting the true flood risk,� Karpak said. Ted Perkins, regional engineer for FEMA, touched on the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and how it will apply to Federal Way. “Essentially what FEMA is looking to do, and the whole point of the National Flood Insurance Program is, is to determine the most appropriate flood risk and assign flood insurance rates to that,� Perkins said. “From that, we also set minimum flood plain construction standards, that any community in the National Flood Insurance Program has to regulate to.�
Perkins touched on the timeline for these local maps, saying there isn’t a specified end date yet. A preliminary map is expected to be completed by the spring or summer 2012. After that, Perkins said, there’s a 30-day comment period for the city to ensure the maps are accurate and other similar concerns. There is then a 90-day appeal process the city can take advantage of, if the maps are determined to be problematic. After that 90-day appeal period, the city will have six months to update their current ordinance to reflect the updated maps, Perkins said. John Graves spoke to the choice Federal Way has made regarding compliance with the FEMA maps and requirements. Graves said FEMA allows com-
munities to choose from three “doors� in order to be in compliance. The first door is a model ordinance, the second a community checklist, and the third is a permit-by-permit approach. Federal Way went with “door number three,� Graves said, and explained what that meant. “Essentially what that means is that each and every permit that occurs within the map floodplain is going to require a habitat assessment, and whether or not it’s going to have an adverse affect on fish,� Graves said. Graves noted that low impact projects don’t require a habitat assessment, such as mowing grass, doing small scale landscaping or similar projects. The types of projects that would require a habitat assessment would in-

Green Gables students discuss park with mayor FROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest invited a handful of Green Gables Elementary students to City Hall earlier this month. The students pictured had written a letter to the mayor to share ideas for improving their local park, Alderdale Park. Although the park can’t be changed at this time, the mayor still took the students on a tour of City Hall on Nov. 9 and
listened to their park plans. Priest will also visit Maya Lopez’s class at Green Gables and answer questions from her classmates. “It was a great learning opportunity for the kids as well a great chance for them to be active citizens in their community,� wrote Andrea Lopez, whose children attended the meeting. “I thought it is a great reminder that even little people have a voice and can make big changes if we let them ‘speak.’�

Meeting the needs of Federal Way seniors
CON ARTIST STRIKES: Georgene Holland of Algona shared a cautionary tale about a scammer in Federal Way. Around 4:30 p.m. Nov. 12, a friendly man engaged her and her husband, Roy, at the Barnes and Noble near 312th Street and Pacific Highway. The man claimed he previously worked on the couple’s vehicle, and with the help of another man, ultimately conned the couple out of $100 on the spot by claiming to paint the vehicle’s scratches. The Hollands, both in their late 80s, felt pressured by the man’s phony scheme and are glad they didn’t let him follow them home as he suggested. Georgene wanted to warn Federal Way seniors about similar con artists, and avoid giving personal information to such people. - Mirror staff reports

Kid coincidence In a coincidence, 28 students from Thomas Jefferson High School were visiting seniors at the same time as the Diversity Commission. The students were working on a documentary as part of a year-long integrated teaching project. On Wednesday, graphic design teacher Ed Crossan brought students from his class, along with Spanish and history classes, to interview the seniors about global food issues. The project will culminate with a documentary in January, and students will follow up when the senior center’s
