he Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) board of directors voted unanimously to finalize the changes to the district’s grading system during its Dec. 10 meeting, changing from the “Power Law/Conditional Matrix” grading system, to one the district termed “averaging/ averaging.” The changes will go into effect on Dec. 13. “The board approved a change to the calculation of the grading policy, as it relates to the calculations of the assessment and assignment level and the determination of a priority standard score,” Superintendent Rob Neu began. “Tonight,
we’re going to take the next step in recommendations (gathered from) further input, conversations, a work study, several meetings with students, and the opportunity to meet with staff over the last two weeks…What Mr. Mayberry is presenting is that average of the assessments into a priority standard, and then averaging of the priority standards into a final grade.” Neu noted that with the change, students will be scored on a 1-4 scale at the assignment and assessment level. “This is what’s confusing to people, is that a 1, 2, 3, 4 is not equivalent to an F, C, B, A. So basically, a 1 or 2 are not meeting standard. For instance, the average of assignments and assessments may accumulate to a 3.2 at the priority standard level, and then those 3.2s, 2.8s and 2.6s get averaged into a final grade,” Neu explained.

Will FWPS challenges continue, despite grading game changer? Federal Way Public Schools Superintendent Rob Neu needed a game changer and may have found one as he recently recommended a controversial grading system be discarded. The superintendent and the school board have been under fire from members of the community for many months over several different issues, but none seem to cause more discord with parents, teachers and students than the controversial new standards-based grading system (SBG). Implemented in 2011, it has been an ongoing source of friction and misunderstanding. Neu recommended it be replaced with the more traditional and understandable “averaging.” With the district facing policy challenges on many different fronts and planning to ask voters to approve a replacement Educational Programs and Operations (EPO) levy early next year worth 20 percent of the districts budget, Neu’s redirection did not come as a surprise. In fact, he hinted at such a possibility for several weeks. The SBG, along with travel and graduation rates, had become keystones of debate in the two school board seats up for election. Incumbent Ed Barney faced a serious challenge from Geoffery McAnalloy that he would lose, and Angela Griffin did not seek re-election. Carol Gregory would claim Griffin’s seat as she and McAnalloy repeatedly suggested additional parent, teacher and student participation on policy issues such as SBG. The school board agreed to Neu’s recommendation but not without comment. Both former school board President Claire Wilson
and board member Tony Moore were concerned about stepping away from a system designed to better reflect students actual knowledge. They had taken a big gamble to implement the system. Also, Moore worried that they may be substituting one set of upset parents for another. But the politics of the situation almost demanded that Neu make the recommendation that he did and that the school board agree. Neu has enough issues on his plate and needs to pass the EPO levy in a few months. With parents, teachers and students upset, attempts to explain and diffuse not seeming to work, and two new members with possible different points of view joining the board in January, change was likely any way. By making the move he did, Neu helped calm things down so he could focus on other goals. However, incumbent board members may feel like they were left in a politically exposed position as they had gone out on that SBG system limb with Neu in the first place. Moore in particular faced a lot of questions on the topic as board president when he was running for the state Legislature. In addition to possible strained relations, some may feel like the change is a retreat from progress that just needed more support and discussion. But the district’s annual break for Christmas could help. It will allow Superintendent Neu, along with the carryover and incoming board members, to start to get on the same page. That may be something that is harder than it sounds but is very much in need for what is likely to be a challenging 2014. Bob Roegner
BOARD
n my way to The Mirror office last week, I ironically thought I saw a flash in my rearview mirror. I was cautiously maneuvering from Pacific Highway South to 320th Street when it happened and I knew the flash was from the traffic cameras at that intersection. But I hoped that a traffic ticket didn’t loom. This would be an awful start to my first day as editor. When I got to the office, I learned that I had just missed a visit from Federal Way Police Deputy Chief Andy Hwang. Oh no. But to my relief, my co-workers said Hwang was there to welcome me to the community. It was the first of several visits. I’ve had the opportunity to meet city officials, officials of South King Fire & Rescue and members from various groups and organizations, including the Federal Way Farmers Market, Friends of the Hylebos Advisory Committee and the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts, to name a few. Attorney Herman Brewer also stopped by, coincidentally, notifying me that he would be a great resource if I ever needed help fighting a ticket from a Federal Way traffic camera. And folks were not shy stating their political viewpoints and informing me about what they thought about important issues in the community. Some of these issues include Federal Way Public Schools’ controversial standards-based grading system that the district will no longer employ, affordable housing and how to build and pay for the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center. My initial impression of Federal Way: many residents are actively engaged here. This shows a sense of ownership and pride for the city. As the new editor of The Mirror, I look forward to learning more about the issues that are important to the community so that we may continue to provide local coverage that incites civic conversation. I see The Mirror as the impetus for keeping the community engaged and the platform for residents to share their opinions. I come to The Mirror having served recently as a regional editor for Sound Publishing’s Kirkland and Bothell/Kenmore Reporter newspapers. An upstate New York transplant, I live right outside of the city in Des Moines with my husband Miguel and our four children. But I call Federal Way home for many things, including recreation and shopping, and I am proud to be a part of this city. As I get out into the community in the coming weeks and meet with you, I will be asking you this: What do you like about your community newspaper? Is there something you would like to see in The Mirror that we currently don’t include? What issues are important to you and where do you stand on those issues? I invite each of you to stop by The Mirror office, call me at (253) 925-5565, ext. 5050 or email me at editor@federalwaymirror.com. I look forward to hearing from you and to serving as editor of your local newspaper.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Drunk driver shows no remorse with new sentence Q
: Mr. Federal Way, what do you think of the drunk driver getting two years cut off his sentence for killing Decatur students Derek King and Nicholas Hodgins back in 2010? A: It’s really a shame. An utter shame. On Tuesday, the 102-month sentence Anthony Peder received for killing the two Federal Way teenagers just three days before their graduation, was reduced by two years because of a technicality. The prison time was cut off because Peder’s original sentencing included a pair of two-year enhancements for two prior DUI-related convictions. But one of Peder’s DUIs was deferred to a negligent driving charge and, therefore, not eligible for the 24-month enhancement. The State Supreme Court ruled last year that those deferred DUI sentences could not be used for the enhancements because it violated state law. It makes zero sense at all and highlights a deeper problem in today’s culture of people not taking
responsibility for their actions. This guy’s action to get drunk and get in a car led to the loss of two 18-year-olds’ lives for no reason at all. This guy killed King and Hodgins before these two had a chance to experience what life had in store for them and “got off ” with “just” an eight-anda-half year sentence. He got off easy. And to come back and ask a judge to cut that alreadyridiculous sentence by two years is the ultimate in shucking responsibility. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Peder’s lawyer also had the audacity to ask the judge to reconsider his client’s entire sentence and bring it down even more. Something the judge thankfully denied. It’s got to be awful for the victims’ families. Mr. Federal Way couldn’t even imagine losing a child in this fashion. Making matters worse is the fact that the families
of King and Hodgins had agreed to take part in a Washington State Patrol video with Peder to help prevent the utterly pointless deaths that happen when idiots get behind the wheel of a vehicle drunk. “It tells us that he is ringing a hollow bell of remorse,” Derek King’s father, Randall, told Q13 Fox on Tuesday. “There’s absolutely no credence to anything he’s been telling us that he’s remorseful. It makes us feel the video he did with us was a setup to get off and do this move.” “For him to do all this work to get out sooner, it just disgusts me. It just disgusts me,” Hodgins’ mother, Mary Bobbitt, said. But, in the end, there are good things that have resulted from the pointless deaths of King and Hodgins, thanks to the tireless efforts of their families. State lawmakers used this case as a means to
more than double Washington’s vehicular homicide sentencing range. Earlier this year, the Legislature also closed the loophole Peder used in this appeal and now judges must consider prior deferred DUIs as part of an offender’s criminal history. Let’s keep the memories of these Federal Way kids in mind, especially during the joyous holiday season. Don’t drink and drive. There’s just no way to justify it. Q: I’ve never fully understood why the people who sell you a Christmas tree always ask if they can “cut off the bottom” for you. A: Mr. Federal Way has never really thought too hard about this little tidbit. But, now that you have asked the question, it does seem kind of odd. Obviously, the Christmas tree you just purchased at some converted parking lot is already dead. It was probably cut down by some lumberjack in the mountains a week ago, thrown in the back of a pickup truck and hauled over Interstate 90.
How does cutting an inch off the trunk make it last longer? So, Mr. Federal Way put the research staff on it and there are actually legit reasons why you should cut a little off the trunk. Who knew? If you don’t cut it off, the tree won’t be able to absorb water, and it will dry out and become a fire hazard. A seal of dried sap will form over the stump in four to six hours. It’s the same reason why you have to keep water in the tree stand. If a seal does form, you’ll have to make another fresh cut, which is much harder to do when the tree’s decorated. Q: Last week you wrote about the pompous attitude of University of Washington football fans. How did it taste when the Huskies hired Boise State coach Chris Petersen to take over the program? He was 92-12 during his eight seasons at Boise State. A: It actually tasted pretty good. Thanks for asking. But it’s still Mr. Federal Way’s opinion that Husky football fans
are pompous. Mr. Federal Way actually applauded Petersen’s hire. As a Seattle sports fan, Mr. Federal Way loves to see all the teams succeed. Mr. Federal Way grew up during the Huskies’ heyday and Mr. Federal Way has great memories of watching Billy Joe Hobert and Steve Emtman. Let’s hope Petersen can bring back the Rose Bowl days of the late Don James. But Mr. Federal Way is going to stop short of installing Washington as next year’s national champions. Let’s tap the brakes a little bit. Petersen’s hire last Friday also coincided with the Mariners inking Robinson Cano to a 10-year, $240 million contract. It’s a day that might go down in the history books as one of the better 24-hour periods in Seattle sports. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what type of lights do you like putting up on your house? Do you go with all one color, flashing or maybe even those lights that look like icicles are dripping off your roof? A: None of your busi-

over cost due to a flawed design by state employees. Bus lanes in Seattle were recently painted on a road that busses don’t even travel on. These are only a couple of examples of waste that never seems to be addressed by government other than telling the taxpayer there’s a need for more money. When Gov. Inslee was a candidate, he was opposed to any new taxes, and of course now that he’s in office, well…he’s not only anxious to raise taxes but wants a special session at additional taxpayer cost, to do it now, just one month before the Legislature meets for its normal session. Road projects require state sales tax be charged for materials, which sends already-taxed monies into the general fund for other legislative spending. This of course increases road costs unnecessarily. Sales taxes should not be charged on any projects, state or local. The expedited replacement of the I-5 bridge that collapsed earlier this year would indicate that, at least, some projects can be completed in an expedited manner.
King 5 news recently reported that there is always a fully manned state ferry “just in case” there’s a problem. Is this a responsible use of tax dollars? There are some who want to build the Columbia Bridge Crossing, which is highly promoted by Oregon legislators. It would include light rail, requiring a much lower
bridge which would not allow freighter traffic to travel up the Columbia to deliver merchandise. This is another flawed design that must not be allowed. Finally, I understand that the DOT wants to change carpool lanes to three occupants instead of the current two. My wife and I travel to Bellevue twice a month and use the
lanes. We do not have an option for a third person to ride along and I’m sure many other folks would not either. It is imperative to move people and goods in this state, not impede them. I urge legislators to resist this proposal. Personally, I’d like to see all lanes opened to traffic.
a mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, Conn. Before driving to the school, Lanza shot and killed his mother Nancy at their Newtown home. As first responders arrived, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. It is a very dark day in American history. Ironically, it follows on the heels of Santa Lucia Day, the Season of Lights, the reminder that the long dark nights of winter will cease and the long days of the summer sun will return. Dec. 14 now is a dark, bloody clot on the head of Uncle Sam, a darkening eclipse of the light and hope and righteousness of Santa Lucia. The sane among us will mark the day with sorrow and remembrance, the soulless among us, those whose souls have been devoured by Fox Broadcasting, the NRA and the never-ending extreme right-wing media of the United States, will madly rush out to buy more guns and ammunition.

Opposed to raising gas tax I am opposed to raising the gas tax. Whatever happened to all that federal stimulus money we received just four years ago for Washington’s transportation projects? Our share of $787 billion should have exceeded $15 billion. It seems to me that should have solved a lot of the state’s problems. Washington state gas tax is currently 37.5 cents, the second-highest in the nation, and the federal tax is an additional 18.4 cents. This, plus all of that stimulus money still isn’t enough? The 520 floating bridge study and design, alone, exceeded the cost of the original bridge. After all of that expense the new bridge is running several hundred million dollars

Police chief recognizes citizens for heroism by Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
A
ugustin Galicia and Sydney Chavez were recognized by Federal Way Police Department Chief Brian Wilson for their efforts in dangerous situations this past year. Wilson presented both with the “Police Chief Citizen Citation” at the Federal Way City Council’s Dec. 3 meeting, describing the situations that both Galicia and Chavez found themselves in this past year. “Mr. Galicia was at Steel Lake Park and he was celebrating with a group, a going away party,” Wilson said. “And as they were there, a subject who was intoxicated came into the
park and was yelling at a female who was inside her car. The male started hitting and damaging the car, and so his (Galicia’s) response was to call 911 to get police officers there to deal with this particular subject.” Wilson shared how the situation escalated while police were en route, when the drunken man began physically hitting the woman in the car. “Augustin, he said, ‘This is unacceptable.’ And he stepped in and addressed that subject, and ended up in a scuffle with him, where he received some injuries on his face and hands…We are convinced that he really saved this victim from further assault, and his willingness to step forward to stop
the attack, and to take that action, is just a remarkable example of this citizen, his willingness to step in and what a difference that makes in a very critical and emerging situation.” “I’m honored to receive this award from the chief of police, and if something like this were to occur in my presence again, I would do it again,” Galicia said after receiving the commendation from Wilson. Chavez, an 8-year-old who attends Silverlake Elementary, was recognized for her calm handling of what would be a very scary situation for most children. The girl’s mother had a seizure at home on Nov. 12, Wilson noted. “This 8-year-old, who

They were married for 44 years. Harry brought 3 children to the marriage. He passed away last March. Dorothy and Harry loved to travel and visited many countries in Europe, as well as Canada and Mexico. They both enjoyed many trips to Hawaii, and had summer homes on Orcas Island and at Mason Lake. Dorothy was very proud of her children, especially with having 4 in the military at one time. Surviving children are Lynn Jorgeson, Mike Jorgeson (Carma), Roberta Jorgeson-Wilson (Tim), and Tim Jorgeson (Maryann). Her stepchildren are Diane Davis, Kay Dorris (Steve), and Rob Matchett (Sally). There are two deceased sons, Douglas Jorgeson (Brigitte), and William Jorgeson (Kelly). Dorothy had 15 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. She was the best Mom ever and will be missed and remembered by many. Donations may be made to Mary Bridge Brigade, MS: 311-1-MBB, P.O.

Alice Hubbert Forbes g
Alice Hubbert Forbes, 85, of Laconia, NH, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 5, 2013 while listening to her favorite hymns. Alice moved to her beloved New Hampshire after her husband of 56 years, Fred W. Forbes, Jr. passed away on December 8, 2011. After raising their children in Coventry, Rhode Island, Alice and Fred spent thirty five wonderful years in Federal Way, Washington, where she and her husband were avid church goers and volunteered for many local charitable events. They loved motor home traveling and had many friends in their "southern" home (their RV in Arizona). They loved to travel and enjoyed many vacations throughout the world, but their favorite place was the family cabin, which was built by Alice's grandparents. Every summer was spent enjoying family and friends at Pocumtuck, near Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Alice was preceded in death by her husband Fred, and her sister, Joie B Hubbert. She is survived by her three wonderful children, Bryan and his wife Waneta of Plymouth, NH, Barry and his wife Jaime of Commerce Township, MI, and Wendy, who moved to Laconia, NH with Alice to be her caregiver for the last year and a half; three grandchildren Katlyn, Tyler and his wife Rayssa, and Brittney. Alice also loved animals and we cannot forget her fuzzy grandchildren, Keba and Mr. Kitty, and her four-legged roommates, Magik and Molly. Alice touched every person she ever met with her amazing spirit and engaging smile. She was an inspiration to her children, her grandchildren, and countless people throughout her life. A celebration of Alice’s life will be held next summer at the family cabin, and will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donation may be made in Alice’s memory to the NH Humane Society: NHHS, P.O. Box 572, Laconia, NH 03247 www.nhhumane.org

One of those was what issues might arise if the project is put on hold or delayed in any manner, something Roe said could be problematic, especially with the King County levy funding. “The city’s receiving Prop 2 (the ballot name for the trail levy) proceeds are encouraged to expend their share of those funds as soon as practicable, and funding may be pooled across multiple years. Final expenditure of Prop 2 funds should be complete by Dec. 31, 2014,” he said. Roe also noted that construction costs have been on the rise recently, meaning any delay would likely increase costs. He also noted that the city had to wrangle with King County to get those trail levy funds, and part of the deal with the county was to narrow the use of those funds to a specific range of activities. The Council voted yes to move the project to a completed design stage in a unanimous vote. Roe anticipates the project to be complete in two to five years, if everything goes favorably for the city and its funding sources.
Cambridge Programs highlighted in national publication From staff reports
Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS), and more specifically, the Cambridge programs at Federal Way High School and Lakota and Sacajawea Middle Schools, were recently highlighted in the renowned publication “Education Week.” According to FWPS, the district was the first district on the West Coast to offer the challenging Cambridge Program, and Education Week explored the impact the programs have had on the district. “It’s really prepared our students for college,” said Chelsea Gallagher, the FWHS Cambridge coordinator in the Education Week article. “You can’t do minimal work. It requires you to think critically.” According to FWPS, “Cambridge courses emphasize the value of problem solving and a broad and balanced study.” The program encourages students to increase their skills of “independent search and investigation, the use of initiative and creativity, and the application of knowledge and skills.” For information, visit www.fwps.org/info/cambridge.

McAnalloy joins school board; leadership positions reshuffled eoffrey McAnalloy was sworn in as a member of the Federal Way Public Schools Board of Directors during the board’s Dec. 10 meeting. McAnalloy, who unseated long-time board member Ed Barney, said he hopes he can help contribute to the continuing work of the district moving forward. “Hopefully we can look at some of the things that have been done in the past to make sure that we move forward in the best interest of every child, all 22,000 of them in the district,” McAnalloy said. “We have to look and make sure that we are truly providing and investing in meeting them right where they’re at to give them the best opportunity to be the most successful they can.” McAnalloy also said he hopes to be more inclusive of teachers, administrators and parents during his term on the board. “I’ve heard it clearly from the community in the last few months that we need to be transparent, and maybe look at some things differently,” he said. “And hopefully with Carol (Gregory, the other new board member) and I being new directors, we can bring some dif-
ferent insight, a different lens to look at, and possibly, perhaps make sure we have a complete partnership with our community, our educators and everybody involved in taking care of our 22,000 students.” Following McAnalloy’s swearing in, the board voted for the president and vice-president positions. McAnalloy nominated board member Danny Peterson. Peterson was accepted in a 3-0 vote, with McAnalloy, board member Tony Moore and Peterson all voting yes. Claire Wilson, the sitting president as of the Dec. 10 meeting, abstained from the vote. Wilson filled the position after Moore got entangled with legal issues in Oregon earlier this year. “I’m honored to serve as president and look forward to serving our great district moving forward,” Peterson said. Moore nominated McAnalloy for vice-president, resulting in the same 3-0 vote with Wilson abstaining. “I believe (McAnalloy) has done a great amount of homework in preparing to serve the board, I have met with him on two occasions, I believe that he will do an outstanding job,” Moore said in his motion to nominate

standard level • Grades will be recalculated from the beginning of “Marking Period 1” to the current date using the new calculations • Sending a letter home
to families communicating the grade comparisons from the old grading calculations and the new calculations • A new “cut” score will be applied to the overall letter grade • A communication plan for teachers, students and parents will go into effect immediately. “As we look forward in this work, we understand there are other areas around grading that are worthy of further discussion,” Blauser said. “Superintendent Neu has asked for an advisory committee to be formed consisting of students, parents, teachers, and administrators to meet on a regular basis to examine considerations of some of the topics listed here.” Blauser noted that all four comprehensive high schools in the district – Thomas Jefferson, Decatur, Federal Way and Todd Beamer – will host a forum
at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 19 to talk about these new adjustments. Along with this, Blauser said there will be materials available on the district’s website (fwps.org) that will explain, in-depth, the changes being made to the grading system. Neu cautioned that this change has the possibility to create even more stress as it begins to be implemented throughout the district. “Not only are there going to be grade changes for the students, but there are particular places in the district where instruction is occurring, that these changes are going to wreak havoc,” he said. “It’s going to be some work getting people, teachers and the curriculum aligned to this suggestion I’m proposing tonight.” For those interested in learning more, Neu penned an open letter to the FWPS community regarding the changes. That letter can be found at fwps.org.

School board reflects on outgoing members’ contributions by Greg Allmain
gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
T
he Dec. 10 meeting of the Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) board of directors marked the last time that two members, Angela Griffin and Ed Barney, would sit at the dais as members of the board. Superintendent Rob Neu, and board members Tony Moore, Claire Wilson and Danny Peterson took the time to share their thoughts on their departing colleagues’ contributions to the district. “I appreciate the conversations that we’ve had that hadn’t been going on, on issues of equity, and pushing my thinking and my understanding,” Neu said to
Griffin. “I really appreciate it, I’ve learned a great deal from you in that realm. And I appreciate the work you led on equity, and your legacy in this district will forever be closing the gap.” Neu said Barney’s unwavering support of the elementary track program will be his lasting contribution to the district. “Your passion for students, for young children, for athletics and physical fitness and health is your legacy at this district,” he said. “I know you’ve been doing that for a very long time, and certainly, from your seat as a board member, you’ve done a great job at pushing us forward…I just want to thank both of
you for your leadership, your friendship and your courage during these challenging and difficult times.” “You two have both poured your life into Federal Way Public Schools,” Peterson said. “I just wish you two the best, and thank you for your service.” Moore touched on Barney’s quiet leadership, a theme that many noted of the man who served on the board since 2001. “You have been a consistent leader on the board. You lead in a quiet but powerful way without a lot of fanfare,” Moore said. “You have been a steady force on the board. I’ve learned a lot from you and I take that with me.”
Moore, like Neu, said that Griffin challenged him to think in ways he was unused to, but ultimately helped him be a better leader and advocate for students in the district. “I don’t know that anybody has challenged me in the ways that you’ve challenged me,” he said. “We have had very nice conversations, we’ve had very unpleasant conversations. But in that process, I have gotten stronger.” Wilson also noted Griffin’s ability to bring forth difficult subjects and have a civil conversation about them. “Angela, you are my ally, probably in some of the most important conversations about race. Because that’s
what equity is all about,” she said. “That’s what inclusion is all about, and that’s what the opportunity gap is all about. Given everything else, it boils down to how we work together and get the same access and opportunity, how we see what’s best for all kids. I will never forget that.” Wilson said Barney’s long tenure on the board has been an invaluable asset in recent years. “We will miss someone, who is not living in the past, but is able to give us some information and frame why we are where are, and perhaps where we come from, and where find ourselves today, and then helps us look forward based on that,” she said.
Griffin said she’s happy with what FWPS has accomplished in the four years she was on the board. “I’m really excited about some of the things we were able to push forward during my short stint here,” she said. “Academic acceleration and standards-based education… It’s been critical, and I appreciate being able to be part of those processes.” For Barney, he said it’s been a privilege to be a member of the board for so long. “I loved the opportunity to serve this board, to serve this community,” he said simply. “It’s been an enjoyable time, it’s been great working with you folks over the last few years.”
Race to the Top goals set the bar high, Federal Way leading the charge by Greg Allmain
gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
The Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) board of directors heard an update on the federally funded Race to the Top program during the board’s Dec. 10 meeting. Race to the Top awarded $40 million over four years to FWPS and the six other districts that make up the consortium known as the Roadmap Project (RMP). Executive program director for Race to the Top Jessica de Barros said this has allowed the consortium to set the bar high. “We have a lot of ambitious targets,” de Barros said. “For kindergarten readiness, we want 80 percent
of students to be ready for kindergarten by 2016. We want 86 percent of our third grade readers to be proficient in reading, and we are seeking to reduce the opportunity gaps in half. We have a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Our goals for that, is for fourth graders to be proficient at 80 percent. For 68 percent of students to be proficient in science and to double the students taking algebra or higher in the eighth grade, as well as reducing the math gaps in half.” She noted that at the high school level, the consortium is aiming at increasing graduation rates significantly, setting a bar of 87 percent
by 2016. Another goal is to increase college enrollments to 71 percent, and to reduce remediation rates of students who do go to college, from 52 percent to 37 percent. The consortium is attempting to achieve those goals through a variety of methods. For the preschool to third grade program, de Barros said the RMP is “looking to have every district create a preschool through third grade system that’s aligned.” For the STEM goals, de Barros noted that the consortium is “actually providing digital learning tools focused on science and math in elementary and middle schools across the region.” Finally, the RMP pulled a
page from FWPS’ playbook when it comes to college board assessments. Last year, FWPS offered any of the recognized college placement exams for free to students, and also allowed the exams to be taken during the school day. “Across the region, all eighth graders are taking Ready Step, 10th graders are taking the PSAT, and 11th graders are taking the SAT during the school day. We’re really pleased that Race to the Top can provide for that and eliminate a barrier to college,” she said. The key to the RMP and the use of the Race to the Top funds to achieve it’s goals is in a “shared learning” model,
according to de Barros. “Each of the seven districts, including Federal Way, are working with one another to learn,” she said. “For example, Federal Way is a leader in college and career readiness, so many of the strategies that Federal Way has been using for several years, we’re looking to expand into the other districts in our consortium.” As already mentioned, FWPS leads the way for college and career readiness. This fact allowed the RMP to signify FWPS’ college and career readiness programs as “best practices” for the Race to the Top application. “As part of Race to the Top, the Puget Sound Education Service District is actually

contracting with Federal Way Public Schools to provide technical assistance to the other districts,” de Barros said. FWPS has received approximately $632,000 so far from the Race to the Top grant funding, putting that money towards professional development of teachers and continuing to expand its college readiness programs. “It’s been really exciting to see Federal Way take that strategy to the next level,” de Barros said.

Drunken driver who killed 2 teens gets reduced sentence 102-month (8.5 year) prison sentence of Alexander Peder. The former Kirkland resident was convicted on two counts of vehicular homicide while driving under the influence after killing Decatur seniors Derek King, 18, and Nicholas Hodgins, 18, on June 9, 2010. The two years were cut
From Staff Reports
The man who was convicted of killing a pair of Federal Way teenagers three days before their graduation from Decatur High School had two years cut off his sentence Friday. A King County District Court judge knocked 24 months off the original
off because Peder’s original sentencing included a pair of two-year enhancements for two prior DUI-related convictions. One of Peder’s DUI’s was deferred to a negligent driving charge and, therefore, not eligible for the 24-month enhancement. The State Supreme Court ruled last year that those deferred DUI sentences could not be used for the enhancements because it violated state law. Earlier this year, the state Legislature closed that loophole, clarifying that any
deferred DUI charge must be included in a defendant’s criminal history, but that does not apply to Peder’s case. In 1998, Peder had a DUI charge that was amended to negligent driving and his sentence was deferred after he showed proof of completing a DUI victims panel and getting an alcohol evaluation. In 2008, he was arrested for a DUI; this time the charge was amended to reckless endangerment, and Peder was given a two-year suspended
sentence. King, Hodgins and another Decatur student, Anthony Beaver, were driving south on Interstate 5, coming home after a celebration for their high school graduation in Bellevue with several other Decatur seniors. Beaver, who was driving, survived the crash. Peder was treated for his injuries and then taken to King County Jail. Toxicology reports showed his blood alcohol level to be .16 percent.
December 13, 2013 [15] [ suspects from page 1] The second suspect is described as a 30-year-old black male with a shorter stature, kinky short hair and a gold front tooth. Crime Stoppers will pay a cash reward up to $1,000 for any information leading to the arrest and charge of anyone involved in this kidnapping and robbery. Anyone with information about this crime should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS. All calls are confidential.

Federal Way man was sentenced Tuesday morning in U.S. District Court to 40 months in prison for savagely beating a Sikh cab driver while making racist statements about Muslims. Jamie Larson, 49, was originally charged with malicious harassment in King County Superior Court, but the case was turned over to federal prosecutors in March because the federal hate crime law carries a longer possible sentence of up to 10 years. Larson pleaded guilty June 27 in U.S. District Court to one count of violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. These laws criminalize acts of physical violence that cause bodily injury and are motivated by race, gender, sexual orientation or disability. During Tuesday’s sentencing, U.S. District Judge John Coughenour called Larson’s racist comments to the cab driver “some of the most disgusting, ugly and racist language I’ve heard in my 32 years on the bench.” The assault occurred Oct. 17, 2012, in the 1200 block of Southwest 301st Street in Federal Way. Auburn police had asked the taxi driver to take Larson to Federal Way because he was too intoxicated to walk or drive. The taxi driver, an immigrant from India, said
Larson began commenting on the turban he wore as part of his Sikhism religion, according to charging documents. Larson began assaulting the taxi driver and making comments regarding his religion and ethnicity, according to a police report. Larson punched the taxi driver repeatedly in the body and face, and caused one of his teeth to become loose, according to the report. Larson also ripped part of the cab driver’s beard off his face. The piece of beard was found at the scene. HATE The victim was wearing a turban, kirpana, kara and Kanga, which are all items related to his Sikhism religion. The victim believed he was assaulted because the suspect thought he was a Muslim, according to the police report. The victim suffered injuries to his back, shoulder and kidney. He was hospitalized for more than a week and has undergone lengthy physical therapy. Larson also told an officer at the scene that “We have Americans fighting overseas in his country and why doesn’t he go back to there.” Larson’s criminal history includes 19 bookings since 1986, along with 34 warrants. Past charges include disorderly conduct, assault, DUI, attempting to elude police, domestic violence assault, malicious mischief and marijuana possession.

Deck the halls green with King County Green Holidays program From Staff Reports
Holiday waste reduction has never been easier, and King County’s Green Holidays program is here to help. The program offers fun, festive new resources for the 2013 holiday season. Here are a few examples, from King County residents who are also experts on making the holidays greener, featured on the newly-revamped Green Holidays website, KCgreenholidays.com. • Green giving. Use your skills – if you’re an accomplished photographer, for example, take pictures of families as a gift, or give a digital copy of your favorite recipes. • Green decorating. If you love them, why not keep using the same decorations you’ve used for 20 years? Spruce up your decorations by using branches from the yard. • Green wrapping. Get creative using salvaged materials for wrapping, from a used plastic bottle to your kid’s old artwork. Pull an old scarf out of the closet and turn it into fabric gift wrap. For more fun and practical ideas, visit KCgreenholidays.com.

Federal Way’s Keenan Curran, Chico McClatcher lead Eagles to semifinals, other RBs also dominate By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Quarterback
Keenan Curran, Federal Way — The senior wasn’t the prototypical pocket passer for the Eagles. He threw for just 646 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season, which even included 342 in one game. But Curran racked up 1,516 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns to finish with 2,162 yards of total offense. More importantly, Curran’s leadership led the Eagles into the Class 4A state semifinals for the first time since 1976 with 11 victories.
Running back
Chico McClatcher, Federal Way — There’s not much more to say about McClatcher than has already been said about the junior. The 5-foot-8, 170-pounder is one of the top recruits on the West Coast and, when it’s all said and done, will have full-ride, scholarship offers from every major school in the Pac-12, along with other national power programs. McClatcher already has offers from college programs like Washington, Washington State, Utah, UCLA, Boise State and Arizona State. McClatcher ran for 1,622 yards, had 700 yards receiving and scored a grand total of 32 touchdowns. He was the SPSL South Player of the Year and a first-team, All-State selection. Isaiah Diggs, Decatur — The junior was a first-team, All-SPSL 3A selection by the league’s coaches after an impressive all-around season for the Gators, who won just one game.

The Decatur wrestling team got their season started in impressive fashion Saturday with a win at the John Birbeck Invitational at Timberline High School. The Gators, who should have one of the better Class 3A teams in the state this season, Christian Aragon outdistanced second-place Peninsula at the 15-team tournament. Decatur finished with 249 points and six individual weight-class champions Saturday. Peninsula was second with 164 points. The Gators, who finished second at the state meet last year, got titles from Leviticus Arizpe (132 pounds), Isaiah Diggs (138), Dennis Good (145), Christian Aragon (152), A.J. Sarno (170) and Max Henry (195). Decatur also got secondplace finishes from Trysten Dawson (126) and Brandon Zimmerman (160).

Wrestling: Decatur primed for run at state, hosting ‘big-time’ events Gators bring back a lot of talent from a team that finished second at last year’s Mat Classic By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Decatur junior Isaiah Diggs finished in third place at last year’s Mat Classic State Wrestling Tournament. The Gators ended up second as a team. file photo
The Decatur wrestling team was very close to making history a season ago. The Gators came up
just four points short of winning the program’s first-ever state team championship, finishing second to University. “That did not sit well with these kids,” said longtime head coach Mike Bressler. This season, the Gators have the horses to stand on top of the podium as a team inside the Tacoma Dome come February. Bressler returns a full complement of kids with Mat Classic experience. According to WashingtonWres-
tlingReport.net, the Gators enter the season as the second-ranked team in Class 3A behind Sunnyside. Bonney Lake, Decatur’s main rival in the South Puget Sound League 3A Division, are right behind in third. “We have hard-working kids,” Bressler said. “The rest will be determined by their effort and commitment.” Decatur did lose plenty of talent from a season ago with the gradu[ more wrestling page 20 ]

Wide receiver
Phillip Cuadros, Jefferson — In a year that was dominated by running backs at the four Federal Way schools, Cuadros was the best of the wide receivers. The senior was a second-team, All-SPSL North selection by the league’s coaches.
Tight end
Joshua Coleman, Jefferson — The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder was the definition of a dual-threat tight end for the Raiders. Coleman could catch passes and was also a capable blocker. He was named the first-team, All-SPSL North Division tight end by the league’s coaches.
Offensive line
Jay-Tee Tiuli — The tackle was a first-team, All-SPSL South selection as both an offensive and defensive lineman. The 295-pounder opened huge holes for Curran and McClatcher all season and helped the duo rush for well over 3,000 yards.
David Nelson, Decatur — The Gators’ center proved to be Decatur’s top offensive lineman during the season, opening holes for Diggs. The senior was a firstteam, All-SPSL 3A selection by the league’s coaches. Nathaniel Pardo, Jefferson — Pardo was a first-team, All-SPSL North selection and allowed junior Zach Grayson to rush for over 1,000 yards. The 6-foot-2, 280-pounder is a senior. David Tiumalu, Federal Way — The junior was a first-team, All-SPSL South selection after opening holes for Curran and McClatcher. Tiumalu will anchor the Eagles’ line next season. Colton Thrasher, Beamer — The 6-foot-2, 300-pound senior was a second-team, All-SPSL South pick and allowed Martinez to finish fourth in the SPSL South in rushing yards. Austin Reibman, Federal Way — The senior was an unsung hero on the line for the Eagles this season. But his teammates voted the 6-foot-1, 235-pounder the offensive lineman of the year. “That is saying something, considering both Jay-Tee and David were first-team, all-league,” head coach John Meagher said.
Defense
Defensive line
Chris Fa’amalele, Beamer — The junior was a second-team, All-SPSL South selection after an impressive season for the Titans. The 5-foot-11, 245-pounder was fourth in the SPSL South with eight tackles for a loss with eight in nine games. Jay-Tee Tiuli, Federal Way — The monstrous Tiuli was a huge force for the Eagles in the middle of their defense. The 6-foot-3, 295-pounder finished with four sacks to lead Federal Way. He was also a first-team, All-SPSL South selection by the league’s coaches.
Linebackers
David Tiumalu, Federal Way — The 6-foot, 245-pounder was a first-team, All-SPSL South selection after an impressive junior season for Federal Way. Tiumalu will be back in the middle of the Eagle defense next year, along
Federal Way senior quarterback Keenan Curran rushed for more than 1,500 yards and was also a first-team, All-State safety for the Eagles’ defense. Curran will play at a Division-I college in the fall. casey olson, The Mirror with fellow linebackers Jared Pulu and Chris Tuiasosopo. Jared Pulu, Federal Way — The junior played in only five games for the Eagles this season because of a shoulder injury, but his impact was huge. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder was a wrecking crew during Federal Way’s postseason run, making big hit after big hit. Pulu should be a very highlyrecruited linebacker next season. Chris Tuiasosopo, Federal Way — The transfer from California was also hampered for the entire regular season because of a knee injury. But, like Pulu, came back in time to lead the Federal Way defense in the playoffs. Tuiasosopo connected on some huge hits on running backs, helping the Eagles into the state semifinals for the first time since 1976. Justin Madden, Jefferson — The Raider linebacker helped TJ finish as the best scoring defense in the SPSL. The Raiders gave up just 14.6 points a game and also led the entire league in fewest passing yards a game, 74.0. Madden finished fourth in the SPSL North in tackles with 72.5 in nine league games with a high of 14. He was also second in tackles

for loss with 12. Madden was a second-team, All-SPSL North selection. Josiah Goulding, Decatur — The 6-foot-1, 235-pound senior was one of the bright spots for the Gators’ defense this season. One of Goulding’s best game’s came during a loss to Battle Ground early in the season when he finished with 12 tackles and a half sack for Decatur. Cody Rousseau, Beamer — The undersized senior linebacker led the SPSL South in tackles during the regular season with 84.5, including 71 solo tackles, in nine games. Rousseau, a 6-foot, 177-pounder, was a second-team, All-SPSL South selection by the league’s coaches.
Defensive backs
Lonyae Jones, Jefferson — The junior led the SPSL North with five interceptions during the regular season. Jones was also voted first-team, All-SPSL North by the league’s coaches. Chico McClatcher, Federal Way — Although McClatcher gets a lot of press on the offensive side of the ball, he was also the best cornerback in the SPSL. He

finished with four interceptions and returned three of them for touchdowns, including one during the Eagles’ state semifinal loss to Chiawana. Keenan Curran, Federal Way — The senior led the entire SPSL in interceptions with six and is a first-team, All-State selection as a safety. Curran will play defensive back at a Division I college next fall on a full-ride. He already has offers from Air Force, Army, Idaho, San Jose State, Wyoming and Yale. The one-on-one coverage by McClatcher and Howse allowed Curran to roam free in centerfield for the Eagles’ defense. Khalil Howse, Federal Way — Teams tried to pick on Howse all season long because of McClatcher’s presence on the other side of the field. But the 5-foot-7 Howse was more than up to the challenge, breaking up countless passes. He also had two huge interceptions during the Eagles’ playoff run. Marcus Schimmelfennig, Beamer — The senior was a first-team, All-SPSL South by the league’s coaches. The 5-foot-7, 170-pounder was one of the better cover corners in the SPSL.

Diggs was Decatur’s leading rusher and leading pass catcher. To illustrate Diggs’ flexibility, the 140-pounder finished with 108 yards on 10 carries and also caught five passes for 101 yards. Brody Martinez, Beamer — The junior had a humongous season for the Titans, who finished 4-6. In eight regular season SPSL South games, Martinez rushed for 1,164 yards and 12 touchdowns on just 148 carries. He averaged 145.5 yards a game and nearly eight yards a carry. The 5-foot-10, 187-pounder had his best game during a loss to division champion Graham-Kapowsin. Martinez ran the ball 20 times for 249 yards and a touchdown. It was the final game of a three-game stretch where Martinez ran for 638 yards and six TDs. Zach Grayson, Jefferson — The 6-foot-2, 200-pound runner proved to be one of the most bruising backs in the SPSL North this season. Grayson, who is one of the better rugby players in the state, ran for 1,104 during the regular season and scored six touchdowns. He had a pair of 200-yard games against Beamer and Kentridge.

ation of Kyle Gleed, Nick Karis, Rowland Gaydosh and Spencer Smith. Gleed won the heavyweight state title last year and Karis (170), Gaydosh (182) and Smith (195) all snared third-place finishes at state. The Gators bring back a strong lineup that received a lot of experience a season ago during the rugged SPSL 3A regular season, along with the experience of wrestling in the postseason. Leading the list of returners for the Gators is junior Isaiah Diggs and sophomore Leviticus Arizpe. Diggs, a 138-pounder, won the SPSL and regional championships before finishing third at the Mat Classic. Diggs, who was a firstteam, All-SPSL 3A running back, started the season by winning the individual title at the John Birbeck Invitational Saturday. Arizpe, a 132-pound sophomore, also won the regional championship and was the third-place finisher at state. Bressler also brings back state qualifiers Trysten Dawson (126), Dennis Good (145), Christian Aragon (152) and Brandon Zimmerman (160). Dawson was the SPSL champ and finished sixth at state and Zimmerman was seventh at the Mat Classic. “Zimmerman, Good and Aragon provide leadership and model the Decatur wrestling work ethic needed for success,” Bressler said. Also returning for the Gators are Austin Thomas (112), Moses
www.federalwaymirror.com Griffen (120), Keoni Aparis (145), Max Henry (195) and Teban Masasary (285), along with newcomer Chris Carns. “The success of this team is in the hands of the kids,” Bressler said. “If they want to leave a legacy behind, then they will find a way.” Decatur will host a huge couple days of wrestling Friday and Saturday. Friday night defending Class 4A team champions, Lake Stevens, along with Vashon and Bethel will be in Federal Way for a Double Duel Meet. Action starts at 5 p.m. On Saturday, the Gators will host the Hurricane Harris Invitational. The 16-team tournament will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. inside the Decatur gym. Teams include Kentlake, Kent-Meridian, Curtis, Sumner, Cascade, Hazen, Kennedy Catholic, Wilson, Lincoln, Mt. Rainier, Timberline, Bothell, Redmond, Skyline and Nathan Hale. The tournament is named after Robert “Hurricane” Harris, who drowned in Lake Tapps in September of 2011. Harris was a standout wrestler for the Gators.

• Dean Peck will not be returning next year as the head coach of the Thomas Jefferson High School football team. Peck notified the Raiders recently and let them know that he will be stepping down as head football coach after six seasons. Peck, who previously coached for seven years at Riverside High School in Oregon, took the Raiders to the playoffs for the first time in school history in 2011 and this year’s team also qualified. Jefferson finished 5-5 in both of those seasons, losing in the round of 32. The Raiders were beaten by Skyline after finishing fourth in the South Puget Sound League North Division.

GIVE THE MOST-WANTED HOLIDAY GIFTS
After averaging over 20 points per game in helping the Seattle University men’s basketball team to three victories during the first week of December, redshirt junior guard Isiah Umipig has been named the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, announced Monday morning by the conference office. Umipig is a Federal Way High School graduate. Later in the day, CollegeInsider.com announced that Umipig has been named the Lou Henson Award National Mid-Major Player of the Week. The award is named in honor of Lou Henson who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years and encompassed 779 victories. On Dec. 2, Umipig scored a season-high 30 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the field, including 6-of-11 from behind the 3-point line, and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line as the Redhawks defeated the UC Davis Aggies, 77-53. It was the first 30-point performance by a Redhawk player in a single game since February 2012. At Cal State Northridge Thursday night, Umipig collected 12 points, four rebounds and five assists in Seattle U’s 58-53 victory. With just 1:29 left in regulation, the Redhawks ahead by just one point, and the shot clock quickly winding down, Umipig launched a 3-point shot attempt that rattled in, giving Seattle
U a cushion to play with the rest of the way. He also made two free throws in the final minute to help solidify the team’s first road win of the season. Two nights later in a rematch with his former team, Umipig went 6-for-11 from the field, hitting four 3-pointers in the first half, and then he made four free throws late in the second half as the Redhawks defeated the Cal-State Fullerton Titans, 74-65.
