Because the 30th District straddles King and Pierce counties, the King and Pierce County Councils had to chose a Democrat from nominees picked by Democratic Party activists to serve for one year. Voters would then elect someone next year to serve the second half of the two-year term. King County Council decided to separately appoint a candidate, saying there was an urgency to the matter and they wished to appoint someone before their holiday break. Pierce County Council members expressed their displeasure at King County Council’s decision to appoint Freeman’s replacement without them in a press release. The Council members said they wanted to follow specifications regarding joint action matters in the Washington state Constitution and a number of historical precedents in which councils meet jointly to make these important appointments. “In cases like this it’s more important to be right than to be fast,” said Pierce County Council Chair Dan Roach in the press release.

Federal Way school board selects new president, vice president BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way Public Schools board of directors voted Geoffery McAnalloy as board president and Claire Wilson as vice president on Tuesday. McAnalloy served as vice president while Wilson served as the board’s legislative liaison, a position she’ll

retain as vice president going forward. After former president Carol Gregory announced the presidency change she said, “I’m done!” as they switched seats at the board meeting. “I know that there may be a little bit of a surprise that I’ve taken myself out of the role and been voted out …” she said. “But I am in the process of hopefully being appointed to the Legislative District.” The 30th Legislative District precinct officers voted

Gregory as the top choice to replace late Rep. Roger Freeman, who served as a House Representative, position 2, before he died at the end of October, days before the November election, which he won. The King County Council voted Gregory as their top choice in a Council meeting on Monday, although Gregory is still waiting to hear who the Pierce County Council votes on before the appointment is final. McAnalloy joined the

school board in December 2013 after unseating longtime board member Ed Barney. “First I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my peers in their vote of confidence,” McAnalloy said of the unanimous board vote. “I look forward to the work that we’ll do over this next year together.” McAnalloy said the board’s “first and most paramount duty” is to replace the school district’s superintendent in 2015. From there, he hopes the [ more BOARD, page 10 ]

Initial test results show no Ebola in King County FROM STAFF REPORTS

A King County resident is negative on initial testing for the Ebola virus, according to results released Dec. 7 by the Washington State Department of Health, Public Health laboratory. The individual had recently returned from Mali, a county with a small number of Ebola cases, and had developed a slight fever on Dec. 6. Following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Public Health – Seattle and King County had been monitoring him for possible Ebola symptoms. In addition to the fever, the patient also had a sore throat but none of

the other typical symptoms to suggest Ebola infection. The individual was evaluated at Harborview Medical Center on Saturday afternoon, after a fever had developed that morning. He is considered to be at low risk for Ebola, but tests were conducted as a precaution. Additional tests are in progress for respiratory viruses and other infections that could be causing his symptoms, and he remains at Harborview in satisfactory condition. Public Health routinely monitors the health of travelers arriving from Ebolaaffected countries. During the cold and flu season, there may be other people under monitoring that develop symptoms that are similar to Ebola, so it’s possible that other travelers will require tests in the coming months.

e were mystified, amused and at times even mortified. As I sat in a packed auditorium at Centerstage Theatre on Sunday afternoon with my husband and two of our children, ages 2 and 20, I found myself laughing aloud non-stop at the theatre’s production of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” The performance had all the ingredients of the traditional “Jack and the Beanstalk” fairytale — the milk cow, magic beans, giant beanstalk and a giant. But who would’ve expected to see Alan Bryce — Centerstage’s artistic director who played the character Dame Trot — come on stage like a wrecking ball? Dressed as singer Miley Cyrus, Bryce wore tight underwear and sat on a wrecking ball prop. It is this kind of out-of-nowhere act that caught the audience off balance and kept us entertained throughout the two hour show. According to Centerstage, their traditional English “panto” pokes fun at society’s norms and twists the songs of the day. Characters, for example, poked fun at the Performing Arts and Conference Center, Fife and the gay community in Seattle’s Capitol Hill. The audience was included in the production and we were prompted to cheer when Brynne Geiszler, playing the Fairy Sugarsnap, came on stage, or utter “boo” when the evil Hefferlumphenstein, played by Brock Madden, came on. But the best part of the show for me was seeing my 2-year-old’s eyes widen when a family of giants entered the stage. She squealed when the baby giant said, “Poo, poo.” Our 20-year-old, a “Ghostbusters” fanatic, said he was not expecting Centerstage to tie in “Ghostbusters” with “Jack and the Beanstalk.” During the intermission, I spoke with Federal Way resident Julie Hiller. She said her family attends Centerstage’s shows every season and it’s part of their holiday tradition. I can see why. If you haven’t seen “Jack and the Beanstalk” yet, it shows through Dec. 21. Read page 26 for information.

Federal Way snubs Auburn in health center save Apparently the solution King County, Federal Way and Auburn arrived at weeks ago to save the King County Health Centers wasn’t quite the study in harmony we were told at the time. None of the key elected officials involved, other than Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell, are talking for the record. However, others close to the situation say Federal Way has come in for some criticism after they decided to settle their negotiations with King County without telling Auburn. According to sources, Auburn thought the two cities had an agreement to negotiate jointly with King County. In a region where cooperation among jurisdictions on issues like transportation, crime and social services is essential, Federal Way may need to work a little harder in the future to burnish its image as a cooperative and trustworthy partner. Some regional observers recall the Sound Transit debacle and were hoping

Federal Way city leaders had learned from past experience about why cooperation with other cities is in everyone’s long-term best interest. In June, King County announced it would have to close several health centers, including those in Federal Way and Auburn, due to budget problems. County officials urged Ferrell, Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus and other affected mayors to consider helping with the funding as a means to keep the doors open for another year. Ferrell agreed to ask the City Council to support a $221,000 one-year contribution, which they did. Ferrell and the City Council justifiably received significant political credit from the health centers’ employees, customers and the media, including the Mirror and this column, for helping to save the centers. But the big political winners were Executive Dow Constantine and the employees of the health centers who negotiated an agreement that froze the employees’ salaries [ more ROEGNER, page 6 ]

The true meaning of Christmas We live in a squabbling society: we squabble over sports, we squabble over politics, we squabble at home, at work and at play. Arguing seems to have risen to an art form while empathy seems to have fallen from favor. Perhaps technology encourages this by providing a universal venue to vent. Whatever the cause, we live in a world that encourages us to pick

sides, set opinions and passionately proclaim them to all who will listen. Against this backdrop we approach the holiday season. Thanksgiving and Christmas have traditionally been a time to promote peace, love and gratitude. In recent years even this season has been marred by strongly held opinions. One side prefers happy holidays, HO HO HO and reindeer; the other favors Merry Christmas, the babe in a manger and shepherds. Each side claims to hold the moral high ground and attempts to shout down the other. One might reasonably ask: What happened to the traditional good feelings of the season? The answer lies within each of us. What if, in the spirit of holiday season, we unilaterally disarmed? For example, we could refuse to

take offense at a greeting. I love to hear “Merry Christmas” but “Happy Holidays” is no affront to me. Once “holidays” implied Holy Days; seen in this light I can be happy to hear either greeting. When I see a redsuited Santa, I could see a crass secular symbol or I could choose to see him as a symbol of Christ. Isaiah spoke of the Savior of the world as one who tread the wine press alone and was red in his apparel. In this light, Santa is no threat to my family or my children. I am aware of secular attacks on Christianity. In my children’s text books B.C. (before Christ) is being replaced by B.C.E. (before the Common Era) further removing Jesus Christ from our culture. As a Christian, I do not condone such changes, nor can I ignore the erosion of Judeo-Chris-

tian values in our society. My response is to personally embrace what is good. I believe virtue is attractive, by that I mean virtue has a kind of spiritual gravity that draws people to it. As I strive to embrace virtue and teach my children correct principles, I have found valuable resources to support my efforts. I will mention just three: First, and perhaps most effectively we read scriptures together as a family. This is a hard habit to start but once started it becomes hard to stop. We have found reading scripture is powerful. Talking about the scriptures or telling Bible stories, while good, is just not the same. Second, we watch videos from BibleVideos. org. These are quite literal representations of King

James Version bible stories. We particularly like the ones representing the birth of the Savior. One of our Christmas traditions is to watch the one from Luke chapter 2 before opening presents. Third, the first weekend of December each year our church presents a nativity event for the community. It is a presentation of Christcentered art, over 300 nativity scenes from around the world, Christmas music and concerts. It is a wonderful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is coming and it could change us. If we embrace virtue and rise above the squabbling of the world, we can have the peace the angels promised at the Savior’s birth.

Q&A with Mr. FW: County Councils already disagree on vote to replace Freeman Q

: Mr. Federal Way, I heard that the Pierce County Council chair was upset with the King County Council for making a decision on late Rep. Roger Freeman’s replacement without them. Do you think the two Councils should have voted together instead of separate, which is what Pierce County thought would happen? A: Pierce County is questioning this legality on whether two counties can hold separate votes since the Washington Constitution requires “joint action.” King County thinks “joint action” doesn’t necessarily mean a joint meeting. However, Pierce County said a 1941 state attorney general decision says otherwise. Whatever the law is, if Mr.

Federal Way was to pin this down to ethics and morality, Mr. Federal Way would likely side with Pierce County. While voting separately saves time and a lot of gas money, one vote before the other could potentially sway future Council votes and lacks true democracy. But the Pierce County Council said because of this, they’ll now wait to vote on Freeman’s replacement until they get an opinion from Mr. Bob Ferguson. Now, as a Federal Way resident, Mr. Federal Way thinks delaying this decision up until the last minute — Dec. 28 is the deadline — is annoying. Having a

[ LETTERS from page 4]

joint meeting won’t change King County Council’s vote, so why make them vote again? Why make the 30th District Democrats wait even longer? Mr. Federal Way has to wonder if this county drama will influence the Pierce County Council’s vote, as the majority of them are Republicans voting for a Democrat. Will they pick the weakest candidate or side with King County in picking the strongest — Carol Gregory? Mr. Federal Way will certainly be paying close attention throughout the next two weeks.

Rabid pro-gun people Rabid pro-gun people seem to have the sensibility of a brick. Their insensitive decision to rally one day before the anniversary of the Sandy Hook mass assassination of little kids is comparable to tracking pig manure into the sanctity of a church or a synagogue. By their actions they are making mock of the deaths of these kids and spitting into the faces of those who loved them.

Council should look out for residents’ safety Many residents who live on 21st Avenue Southwest have lived here before we became Federal Way. It is not a freeway. There were recently two car races that went down our street without stopping and onto the next block. I have pictures. I got a petition for a four-way stop at 304th and 21st that 26 residents have signed. More residents wanted to sign the petition, but our City Council stopped the signing. I guess since they don’t live there they don’t care about our safety. What is wrong with our city officials? Cars coming up our street could have been hit by the cars racing down the hill. We have paid taxes and city salaries for many years.

and added a second year to the time for arriving at a long-term funding agreement. But we have learned that there was more to the story. While the initial story on the closures broke in June, Federal Way apparently wasn’t aware of the significance until mid-August. Sources say Backus and Federal Way Chief of Staff Brian Wilson had a discussion at a regional meeting and Auburn felt there was an agreement to work together on an immediate shortterm solution and present a united front in negotiations with the county. Both leaders identified a staff person to meet and work out the details. Auburn assumed Wilson would brief Ferrell on the meeting. The two appointed city staff members met in person once and also had a phone meeting. Insiders say Ferrell, under pressure to meet the time frame for the executive’s budget proposal, reached his agreement without letting Auburn know. Sources say the first Auburn knew of Federal Way’s commitment on funding $221,000 with the county was when a Mirror reporter called Auburn City Hall for a response to Ferrell’s statements, including one that there “wasn’t enough time” to work together with other cities. Even though all Federal Way Council members wanted to save the health centers and were willing to support a financial contribution, some felt rushed and privately questioned why more time wasn’t devoted to discussion and options. One said, “Jim was in too big of a hurry to try and get the health centers into his

Power Administration is spraying a herbicide called Element 3 all along the BPA trail. I bike along the trail every morning and now wonder if it is safe? What is Element 3 and should I be avoiding the trail? A: Mr. Federal Way wonders why citizens think Mr. Federal Way is equipped to give medical advice in this situation. If you are worried about your health, talk to your doctor. Mr. Federal Way is merely a columnist and if you’re looking for real advice, it would be to ask a stinkin’ expert in the matter. Either way, a quick Google search found that “Element 3A Triclopyr Herbicide” controls “unwanted woody plants, non-irrigation ditch banks,

perennial broadleaf weeds in forest and non-crop areas including industrial manufacturing and storage sites.” It’s apparently OK to use for weeds in standing water, ponds or lakes without any restrictions — think fishing, swimming or animal restrictions. According to a 2002 National Pesticide Information Center document, Triclopyr was first registered in 1979 and has been used on rice, pasture, rangeland, rights of way, forests and lawns. “Triclopyr is low in toxicity when eaten by animals,” the document states, noting it’s mildly irritating to corrosive to the eyes, can affect the skin of guinea pigs and is poorly absorbed through human skin.

win column.” Ferrell says he believed that he had to act quickly or the whole agreement would have fallen through. Auburn’s challenge was far more complex and included not only the continued service, and a larger geographic area, but building issues as well. Their interest in partnering with Federal Way was strategic, feeling by working together the total price might be less for everyone. Auburn chose to reach out to other interested governments including the cities of Algona, Pacific, Enumclaw, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, the Valley Regional Fire Authority and Orion Industries from the private sector for financial support. But despite having a more complex problem, Auburn felt working with Federal Way on a short-term agreement would set the stage for easier long-term discussions if the foundation was put in place now. Auburn acknowledged that meeting the executive’s deadline might be desirable, but the real deadline was the County Council’s final approval of the county budget and that gave them several more weeks to work with Federal Way and others to achieve an agreement. Since Federal Way had gone out on their own, Auburn continued to bring in partners. Federal Way City Hall only contacted the Federal Way school district, which had legal questions about financial participation. Some participants say that when Federal Way reached a separate agreement with the county, it undermined attempts at a joint solution and established the amount Auburn city government would have to pay at a higher level than might have been necessary, particularly since

It’s not classified as a carcinogen because it’s a group D chemical, nor does it have an affect on birth defects. For more information on Triclopyr or Element 3, Mr. Federal Way strongly suggests speaking to a doctor, researching the chemical yourself by looking at npic. orst.edu/factsheets/triclogen.pdf and making your own decision before you forego a healthy activity such as biking because of a seemingly insignificant herbicide. Q: Mr. Federal Way, who is Mr. Federal Way? A: None of your business.

others, including the employees, were willing to contribute. Insiders say that Backus contacted Ferrell to express Auburn’s concern and remind him of the agreement with Wilson to work together. They say Ferrell said he “would check into the discussion with Wilson,” suggesting he may not have known all the details. However, when interviewed for this column Ferrell said he was fully aware of the Backus-Wilson discussion but said “it was for a long-term solution only.” Some participants expressed surprise at that interpretation. Further, Ferrell said his concern was Federal Way, not Auburn. The six mayors from the different cities would likely share the same view about their own jurisdiction. But they placed significant value on working in partnership as it might provide for a better outcome for their constituents. And by not allowing itself to be rushed, Auburn created extra time that it used to forge a joint agreement with several partners. Constantine and Backus announced the agreement on Nov. 5 that went to the County Council and included significant contributions from several organizations. While nothing should detract from the success the executive and mayors Ferrell and Backus achieved, Auburn’s share was $220,000 —$1,000 less than Federal Way’s. Not much difference, but most observers think there was a big message in that small amount of money, and maybe a lesson to be learned for future relationships.

Seahawks-49ers rivalry wouldn’t be same without Harbaugh

Seahawks, Seattle fans love to hate Harbaugh for his sideline fits and grumpy demeanor. (And just a quick aside, when I say hate, I’m referring to the more innocent “sports hate” not anything actually malicious. If you find yourself actually hating someone because he plays for or coaches a rival, it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities). Just imagine for a second if the 49ers replace Harbaugh with a coach who’s outgoing and likeable. What if their next coach has a great back story that makes him easy to pull for? What if, and this one would really sting for Seahawks fans, the 49ers were to hire Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who will be a candidate for open head-coaching jobs this offseason? Sure you’ll still want the Seahawks to beat the 49ers, but be honest, it won’t be as fun when they do, will it? The Seahawks-49ers rivalry didn’t become such a great one just because the two teams became two of the best in the NFL — though that was the biggest part of it. The rivalry also has grown because of personalities like Harbaugh and Carroll, and because of moments like Sherman talking trash after the Seahawks clinched an NFC championship. Harbaugh and Carroll have both gone out of their way over the years to downplay any personal rivalry between them, but it’s impossible to see the two of them in the same stadium and not think back to that infamous “what’s your deal?” postagme handshake after Harbaugh’s Stanford Cardinal drubbed Carroll’s USC Trojans, going for a two-point conversion late in the game with the outcome already secured. Years later, Sherman was encouraging Carroll to go for two late John Boyle

SIDELINES

hen Jim Harbaugh stomps around the sideline at CenturyLink Field on Sunday, pleading his case for a penalty or looking annoyed with the actions of his team or the officials, take it all in, Seahawks fans, and savor the moment. Because if the increasing noise out of the Bay Area is to be believed, Harbaugh won’t be coaching the San Francisco 49ers much longer, the result of growing tension between Harbaugh and ownership/general manager Trent Baalke. Numerous reports, dating back to the beginning of this season, have said that Harbaugh, despite leading the 49ers to three consecutive NFC championship games and one Super Bowl in his three seasons there, wouldn’t be back in 2015. Those reports only have increased during the past few weeks, fueled both by consecutive losses as well as a Tweet from team CEO Jed York that called his team’s Thanksgiving loss to Seattle, “unacceptable.” And while most Seahawks fans at first are likely enjoying the drama that is unfolding in San Francisco, both with reports of unrest leaking out to the media and with the 49ers struggling on the field, you should really be pulling for Harbaugh to survive this mess. Obviously, no Seahawks fan wants to see Harbaugh and his 49ers succeed in Seattle on Sunday, but for the sake of what in recent years has become the NFL’s most intense rivalry, everyone should be pulling for Harbaugh to stick around. To be their best, rivalries need a villain, and just as 49ers fans can’t stand Richard Sherman’s bravado or Pete Carroll’s satisfied grin when things are going well for the

in a 2012 Seahawks blowout of the 49ers. So, you can’t tell me both sides don’t remember the 2009 moment that helped launch the Harbaugh-Carroll rivalry which has carried over to the NFL. Another element making the 49ersSeahawks rivalry so good is that for all of the differences between Carroll and Harbaugh from a personality standpoint, they both have similar coaching philosophies. They lean on a formula of physical, run-first offense and stingy defense. When two teams play that way, it only makes a rivalry game that much better. San Francisco’s next coach could go away from that style, which would weaken the rivalry a little, or the 49ers could struggle post-Harbaugh, which would really take the edge off those twice-a-year meetings. You might not realize it now, but if he’s traded or fired, you’ll miss Harbaugh pirou-

etting while begging for a defensive holding call; you’ll long for the days of a frustrated, black sweatshirt, pleated khaki-wearing Harbaugh slamming his headset to the ground. Game-day just won’t be the same if Sherman and Doug Baldwin aren’t playing with an extra chip on their shoulders because they want to shove their success in the face of a former coach with whom neither had the greatest of relationships. As long as the Seahawks and 49ers are two of the top teams in the NFC West, there will always be a rivalry between them. If the reports out of San Francisco are right, however, and if this is Harbaugh’s last game in Seattle, the rivalry just won’t be the same without him.

Seahawks’ Tharold Simon has developed into key contributor BY JOHN BOYLE the Herald

At one point during the Seattle Seahawks’ victory in Philadelphia, second-year cornerback Tharold Simon looked around and almost had to pinch himself. Two years removed from playing at LSU, and after missing all of his rookie season with foot injuries, Simon had what he described as a “Man, I’m really in the NFL” moment when it occurred to him that he was on the field with three of the best defensive

backs in the NFL in the form of Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. “Not too many people have that — you’ve got the best cornerback, you’ve got the two best safeties in the league; it’s crazy to have those guys mentoring you, just telling you what to do,” Simon said. Simon’s playing time has increased these past two games because of an injury to Jeremy Lane, but while this isn’t the first time Simon has seen the field this season, it is the

best he has played. With Simon playing so well, aside from five penalties in the past two games, and with Byron Maxwell thriving in the nickel-corner role with Lane out, it’s likely that the Seahawks at least use that look some, if not all, of the time going forward. And with Maxwell heading toward free agency, Simon could be the starter at right cornerback going forward for the Seahawks if they can’t afford to re-sign Maxwell, who should be one of the top cornerbacks on the market after the

season ends. While Seahawks coach Pete Carroll notes that they were impressed by Simon during offseason workouts, his recent growth is still a big development for not just the rest of this season, but the future as well. “Growth,” Thomas said when asked what he has seen from Simon this year. “He’s having fun, his game is coming to life. He’s making big plays for us, he’s starting to understand what he’s got to do over there. That’s all it is, once you understand the scheme,

you can play, because he’s a great player, great instincts.” Then Thomas made a really bold declaration, saying, “He has a chance to be our best corner as far as god-given ability. Where Sherm separates himself is unbelievable, because he’s crazy up here (points to head). He’s a quarterback playing corner.” It’s incredibly premature to suggest that Simon will ever be as good as Sherman, who is a two-time firstteam All-Pro, and will earn that honor again this season if voters are paying any

attention. But that Thomas is even bringing up the idea, and that Carroll called Simon, “a wonderful draft pick for us,” this early in his career is another example of how Carroll has built the Seahawks into a championship-caliber team. While the Seahawks, like every team, have had some rookies come in and contribute, or even take on starting roles from day 1, some of the most important players on Seattle’s Super Bowl-winning roster were mid- to late-round picks who developed over time.

Mom files lawsuit against state, DOC after daughter’s murder BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

mother from Federal Way recently filed a lawsuit on Dec. 4 against the state of Washington, the Department of Corrections and a community corrections officer for failing to do their part in preventing the murder of her daughter Tricia Patricelli in 2012.

Scottye Miller murdered Cathy Harper’s daughter on Oct. 30, 2012 after a history of brutal domestic violence and death threats. Two weeks after he was released from prison for those threats and assaults, he stabbed Patricelli, 33, in her bathroom at her Auburn apartment. Miller had connected with Patricelli after he was

released despite the no contact order in place. But when the mother of two daughters told him to move out because of his abusive pattern, he broke into her apartment and stabbed her repeatedly in the neck and torso. Her roommate discovered her body “minutes later” and called her mother, Harper. Harper arrived

before first responders and “discovered her daughter’s brutally murdered body in the condition in which Miller left her,” court documents state. “She was devastated and continues to suffer objective symptoms of emotional distress.” Although Miller was sentenced in January 2014 to 50 years at the Washington State Penitentiary in

Walla Walla for murdering Patricelli in the first-degree, Harper alleges Miller isn’t the only one responsible for her daughter’s death. While Miller was serving time for punching her in the face, locking her out on her balcony and threatening to kill Patricelli on Dec. 30, 2011, Miller also sent letters to Patricelli that threatened her life, a violation of the no contact order. “Although inmate mail is subject to inspection, [the Department of Corrections] failed to intercept these letters or respond to them in any way,” the lawsuit states. Harper alleges the Department of Corrections also “made an error in calculating Miller’s early release date, failing to properly count his credit for days served in county jail,” which is in violation of Washington law, administrative code and Department of Corrections policy provision, the lawsuit states. Because of his early release, Harper said he would have not been free on the date he murdered her daughter. When he was released on Oc. 15, 2012, a community custody officer was assigned to supervise the “high violent” offender. “Despite Miller’s history, Miller’s community corrections officer ignored Miller’s violations of his conditions of release, made no effort to verify where he was staying and otherwise did little to nothing to supervise him,” the document states. Miller could not contact or see Patricelli for at least five years, but he ended up

living with her. Miller was supposed to undergo court-ordered psychological treatment and live in a clean sober house but he did neither. Harper alleges his community custody officer never once visited the place Miller told her he was staying, nor did he actually stay there. The lawsuit states the officer never checked his cell phone or check beforehand that he attend a mandatory evaluation appointment — only after he had already murdered Patricelli did she check, the lawsuit continues. Because of this, Harper is seeking damages from the Department of Corrections’ failure to comply with the state Offender Accountability Act and their own administrative rules. The Department of Corrections could not be reached for comment on the allegations. Patricelli’s mother has also suffered emotional distress, or loss of consortium, after finding her daughter’s body in a “gruesome state.” The amount of that damage and others will be determined at a trial. Harper is also seeking damages for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering — both mental and physical — past and future permanent and partial disability/disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, damages to property, past and future special and economic damages, loss of income and earning capacity, loss of consortium, and damage and/or destruction of the parent-child relationship, among others.

The Federal Way Public Schools board is in the process of gathering community input to help guide their search for a new superintendent. In addition to the forums and stakeholder meetings conducted on Dec. 10, a telephone survey of 400 randomly selected community members has been conducted and stakeholders have been asked to select their top characteristics of a superintendent through a SurveyMonkey poll. To ensure broad representation of community opinion, the board is now asking all staff, parents and community members to participate in a superintendent search community survey. This survey asks participants to share their thoughts on a number of important topics such as leadership style, relevant experience, and knowledge and skills, among others. The survey is open through 5 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 14 at www.fwps.org/yourvoice/ and is available in various languages. Community feedback plays a critical role in helping the board select a highly-qualified superintendent who is able to effectively advance district goals.

board will be able to work with the new superintendent on a strategic plan for the district. He’s specifically interested in improving the fifth to eighth grade student transitions as well as opening up more opportunity for students in the career and technical education field. “We need to make sure students are career ready,” he said. “[Career and technical education] may be able to help with graduation rates.” If Gregory is chosen to join the Legislature, McAnalloy said the board will face the challenge of having to replace her director position as well as maintaining consistency and stability as three other board directors’ terms expire at the end of 2015. “It’s important for us to become cohesive and what we expect of our students is how we should lead as a board,” McAnalloy said, adding that transparency is a key focus of his as well. “So that’s going to be my focus this year.” McAnalloy served as the vice president of the Adelaide Elementary School PTA and worked as a legislative liaison before he was on the board. He and his family came to Federal Way in 2008 because of the schools and he’s raised more than $15,000 in donations to benefit schools. His three sons attend school in the district while he works at Century Link. McAnalloy’s term expires in 2017. Wilson, a previous school board president, was also unanimously voted as vice president and the legislative liaison. “I think that my focus and perspective has always been as we enter any kind of a board or job or any landscape, we have to understand what is and what was and then create what will be and so my work with Geoffery … my hope is that we’ll

continue to have a new lens or focus, maybe some new questions or wonders and at the same time I can bring some past history or information that might help,” Wilson said, noting the school board is still relatively new. Wilson has served on the board since 2011 and has brought more than 30 years of experience in working with children and family in early childhood and K-12 education, according to the district. She’s the executive director for Policy Governance, School and Family Partnerships at the Puget Sound Educational Service District and also taught high school in Tacoma. While teaching high school, she coordinated the district’s teen parent program. Her term expires at the end of 2015 and she said whether she runs again or not, she’s been an advocate for children and families for years and “that’s not going to change.” “I would like to see my own children graduate in the district, they’re a junior and freshman,” she said. “I would like to see us through not only with a new superintendent but with a new strategic plan.” Ultimately, Wilson said the community also has to make the decision of whether they want her to run again or not. But either way, she’s committed to early childhood learning. “I’ve been around for a while and I make my impact and I’m an ally and advocate in any way and anywhere I can do that,” she said. Wilson is a part of many other organizations and boards surrounding education and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in food, nutrition and child/family studies and a Master’s Degree in home economics and adult education.

Highline College’s Center of Excellence for Global Trade and Supply Chain Management, along with Washington state’s nine other Centers of Excellence, is celebrating 10 years of innovation and development of a skilled workforce. “The centers’ 10th anniversary is a tremendous milestone for community and technical colleges. It has been a wonderful decade of achievements. We are proud to host the Center of Excellence for Global Trade and Supply Chain Management,” said Jack Bermingham, Highline College’s president. “It leverages our college’s economic development mission, our strong two-year program, our new bachelor’s degree and our broad industry relationships in supporting its statewide constituencies.” The Centers of Excellence are flagship institutions that build and sustain Washington’s competitive advantage through statewide leadership. Each center focuses on a targeted in-

dustry that drives the state’s economy and is built upon a reputation for fast, flexible and responsive workforce development to support education and training programs. The nine additional centers serving Washington’s community and technical college system are: Agriculture, hosted at Walla Walla Community College, Allied Health at Yakima Valley Community College, Aerospace and Advanced Manufacturing at Everett Community College, Clean Energy at Centralia College, Construction at Renton Technical College, Education at Green River Community College, Homeland Security Emergency Management at Pierce College, Information and Computing Technology at Bellevue College and Marine Manufacturing and Technology at Skagit Valley College. “The Center of Excellence provides a road map for students to achieve success in their business and personal lives. The first concern is to help the student find a career they can enjoy and within which they can flourish,” said Mike Oliver, vice president emeritus for Lynden International. “It draws students to particular academic disciplines, which benefits the schools. Lastly, industry benefits by gaining a talent pool of highly trained and motivated workers. Every group wins. What can be better than this?”

Woman killed in crash with truck in Federal Way FROM STAFF REPORTS

A 20-year-old female died after her vehicle hit a semi truck on Thursday morning in Federal Way. Cearra Dillard was driving westbound on State Route 18 at Weyerhaeuser Way South around 4 a.m. when she struck the back of a logging truck. The front end of her 2014 Kia Soul was damaged by impact, according to a release by the Washington State Patrol. Dillard was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition where she later died. Washington State Patrol reported the incident is currently being investigated as a hit-and-run because the semi truck did not stop, but they do not know if the driver of the truck was aware of the hit. Troopers are searching for the truck driver.

Man charged with murder found incompetent to stand trial BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way man charged with murdering his brother-in-law cannot go to trial until his competency is restored, according to Department of Social and Health Services documents. A King County Superior Court judge committed James Edwin Mullins, 61, to 90 days at Western State Hospital on Dec. 3. Mullins will be administered psychotropic medications with or without consent. After the 90 days, the court will determine if Mullins is competent to stand trial or plead guilty to the charges against him. Mullins was charged with second-degree murder on May 28 after he shot his brother-in-law, Lazaro Lopez, on May 9. Lopez later died of his injuries. The two were in a disagreement in the 31000 block of 10th Ave. S. in Federal Way when the shooting occurred. Court papers state Lopez was returning a CD or DVD about alternative cancer treatments to Mullins. Mullins had beat pancreatic cancer, using the all natural treatments and Lopez’s son had recently been diagnosed. But something went awry when the conversation steered to Jesus and whether Lopez hated Mullins. “Mullins then stated to Lazaro something to the effect of ‘maybe now you will know what it’s like to lose a

son,’” the court documents state. Upset, Lopez allegedly punched him and a fight ensued. Mullins then allegedly pulled out a .38 caliber pistol and shot Lopez. Although Mullins has no history of mental health issues, a forensic mental health report revealed he was very tangential and unable to answer direct questions in relation to his past employment and other areas of his life. “In sum, he reported that he was initially in the carpentry trade and belongs to the carpenters union, he pursued a career as a musician for several years, that he should be receiving funds from a worker’s compensation claim and that he is currently a pro bono private investigator for murder cases,” the report states. Evaluators believe he’s delusional because he said in an interview he believes the “Mexican Mafia or individuals connected to the drug trade are involved in his stepson’s murder several years ago and indicated that his independent investigation of the murder uncovered police corruption for which he may be experiencing retaliation in the form of his current legal difficulties.” He also mentioned he sees CIA agents everywhere, and speculated that his siblings were interfering with his relationship with his mom and his ability to finance his defense in this case.

Ultimately, the mental health report concluded he meets the criteria to be diagnosed with bipolar I disorder with psychotic features, his most recent episode as manic. Mullins denied the use of drugs, but said he drinks about three beers an evening. He also stated he had no childhood problems, nor did he attend special education classes. King County Jail records also note he suffers “symptoms of mood disturbance, including rapid speech, tangential thought process, possible delusional ideation regarding his health and fixation on seemingly irrelevant details.” Additionally, he’s been diagnosed with hypertension, chronic Hepatitis C without Hepatic Coma, chronic pancreatitis, neck pain and abdominal pain, however, he has been noncompliant with medical treatment. Mullins was also charged with fourth-degree assault in 1994 and three counts of harassment in 2001. According to charging documents, Mullins’s wife indicated that he shot her in December of 2012, but he convinced her to lie to police. If Mullins is thought to be incompetent for trial at the end of the 90 days, “a period of competency restoration would afford time to prescribe and adjust medications and likely assist in his overall psychiatric stability,” the documents continue.

Apartment manager videotaped kids eating dog treats, mom reports This week’s…

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Robbery at gunpoint: At 1:35 a.m. on Dec. 7 at 32124 25th Ave. S., an unknown male entered the Best Western lobby and produced a handgun and a plastic bag. The male demanded the clerk give him the business’ money. The suspect then jumped over the counter, pushed the clerk and took approximately $200 in cash before fleeing the business. Suspect linked to several armed robberies: At 3:57 a.m. on Dec. 7 at 32935 First Ave. S., police responded to a robbery report. After an investigation, police determined a suspect entered the store and, while pointing a handgun at the clerk, he took money out of the cash register. This suspect matches the suspect to several other armed robberies in Federal Way and other nearby cities, according to the report. Residents find bullet hole in bedroom window: At 9:23 a.m. on Dec. 7 in the 33200 block of 39th Ave. SW, residents called police after they located a possible bullet hole in their master bedroom window that pierced

through their blinds. They did not hear any shots fired that night and said it’s possible it happened earlier on Dec. 6 before they came home. The hole was small and possibly a small caliber or an Airsoft gun, police noted. They did not locate any bullet inside the bedroom. The neighbor said he or she did not hear or see anything. Suspect steals e-cigarettes display: At 7:27 p.m. on Dec. 7 at 104 SW 312th St., police responded to a theft report. The reporting party advised police that an unidentified black male wearing a grey sweatshirt and blue jeans stole a display of e-cigarettes, worth $400. The victim provided the police officer with the surveillance footage but the victim was unable to ID the suspect. The officer canvassed the area for items of evidentiary value but was met with negative results. Police closed the case pending further leads. Woman believes neighbor using drone to spy on her: At 8 p.m. on Dec. 7 in the 29600 block of Third Place S., a woman called to report her neighbor was flying a drone in the area and she believed it was harassment. She reported a man who lives nearby has flown the drone in the past and she, along with some other neighbors, believe he was doing it just to upset the neighbors and possibly to spy on them. On this date, she was

smoking in her backyard when the drone hovered above her neighbor’s yard to the north. Police respond to suicide at park: At 9:33 p.m. on Dec. 7 at 1095 S. 324th St., police responded to a 911 call of a shooting at Celebration Park. They found a male unresponsive in his vehicle with a gunshot wound to his head. The King County Medical Examiner’s office responded and removed the male. Man waves gun outside of pub: At 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 6 at 28845 Military Road S., witnesses in the Brickyard Pub reported a male was waving a gun around in the parking lot, scaring bar patrons. Upon police arrival, the male left the parking lot in a vehicle. Officers stopped him, took him into custody without incident and booked him into SCORE jail. He faces charges for DUI and for possessing weapons capable of producing bodily harm. Police seized a knife, handgun and 40 caliber ammunition. Suspect steals gifts while man at hospital: At 1:46 a.m. on Dec. 4 in the 28000 block of 15th Ave. S., a man reported that someone stole his 60-inch TV worth $2,000, some jewelry worth over $3,000 and gifts from his house between Dec. 3-4. The items were stolen while the man was away at the hospital. Mom reports apartment staff

Mikhail Svyatkovsky

Mikhail Svyatkovsky was born on November 19, 1925 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Sadly, on November 29, 2014, he passed away from the debilitating effects of dementia in St. Francis hospital, Federal Way, Washington. Mikhail lived through the perils of communist Russia and proudly served in World War II. He, his wife Tamara, and two daughters Anna and Victoria came to the United States in May of 1978. Mikhail participated in the historic Sakharov hearings in Washington DC describing his struggles (he was a refuznik). The story appeared in the October 1979 issue of the U.S. News & World Magazine. Mikhail prided himself in being a straight-forward, honest, humble and honorable man. He would not tolerate injustice and would always stand by and protect those closest to him. Mikhail loved the outdoors and was happiest in nature - whether fishing, hunting, camping or hiking. He was known by his friends and family as “Mr. Fixit.” Whatever he made or repaired would last a lifetime. Mikhail was a loving father and grandfather and left behind his wife of 62 years, two daughters, and a grandson. He will be extremely missed by his immediate family and those who valued him as the strong and brave person that he was.

Former NFL player visits with Decatur students BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@fedwaymirror.com

ormer New Orleans Saints player Reggie Jones told Decatur High School students to never give up. During an assembly Dec. 5 Jones told the story of his rough upbringing. He said he grew up watching his dad beat his mom and point a revolver, with only one bullet in the chamber, spin the barrel, pull the trigger and laugh when it only clicked. He spoke of seeing his mom kill his dad and then go off to jail for 14 years, leaving him to care for his two sisters. “He spoke of the people in his life who believed in him, who encouraged him, who helped him believe beyond his current situation,” said

David Brower, Decatur principal. “He inspired our ninth and 10th graders, urging them to believe beyond the doubters and the haters and the current circumstance.” Jones said he could have easily fallen victim to being a statistic for kids that have troubled home lives and fallen victim to “a life of destruction,” but chose to use his “trials as a trampoline to propel himself higher.” “He spoke of never giving up on your dreams and carrying your dreams with you daily,” Brower said. “To emphasize his point, he pulled out a ratty football that he carried every day in high school, to remind him that he had a dream: to play in the NFL.” Jones become a first-gen-

Federal meal funds available for some care centers FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Child Nutrition Services section encourages eligible nonresidential licensed child-care centers, family daycare homes, homeless shelters, at-risk centers and some adult day care centers in Washington to participate in the federal Child and Adult Care Food Program. The program reimburses some costs associated with serving meals

to children and qualified adults. In Washington, the program has been administered by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Child Nutrition Services since 1989. The following care centers and institutions may participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program: • Non-residential licensed public or private nonprofit child-care centers or family day-care homes • For-profit child care institutions in which at least 25 percent of children served are low income based on the center’s licensed capacity or enrolled capacity, whichever is less • Child care centers that serve atrisk children

Institutions may apply for the program by contacting Adele Roberts, Child Nutrition Services, Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, P.O. Box 47200 in Olympia, Wash. 98504. The federal food program reimburses meals at established rates based on the family income of the children and adults served.

December 12, 2014 [15] [ KC COUNCIL from page 1] “We’ve done this a number of times in recent years and in all of them, the counties involved convened a joint meeting to weigh the pros and cons of each candidate before agreeing on a final decision.” The law states the two Councils must agree on a candidate to appoint as a replacement in 60 days from the time of a vacancy. Gov. Jay Inslee makes a final decision if the two cannot make a decision by that time. “I see no reason to deviate from the established method and hopefully King County will agree, but to be fair to voters in both counties we’re going to request an opinion from the state attorney general to ensure the process is both transparent and accountable,” said Roach in the press release. “Until we’re certain that we’re following the rules established by the state Constitution, the Pierce County Council will postpone any action on this matter.”

small boy of about 2 years old and 9 pounds. He loves to play with other dogs. He is house trained, crate trained and enjoys his daily walks on a leash. Timmy can be quite shy at first when meeting new people but once he gets to know you he quickly warms up and is all affection. He also makes an excellent co-pilot car companion. Timmy would be happiest in a home with another doggie playmate and prefers women over men at this time. He is best around older children as small ones make him nervous. He has a low shedding type of fur. He is microchipped, vaccinated and neutered. For more information,

Satterberg speaks during regional event FROM STAFF REPORTS

King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer welcomed King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg to the regional Monthly Good Eggs Breakfast in Auburn on Wednesday. Satterberg discussed local crime prevention, innovative sentencing proposals and the importance of keeping juveniles in the education system. “Listening to Dan Satterberg speak about criminal justice reform was helpful in reviewing the larger picture of how to address crime at the community level,” said von Reichbauer. “It is critical to keep juveniles in the education system in order to reduce the odds that they will later become part

of the expensive criminal justice system.”

coding this month as part of an international initiative called the Hour of Code. The weeklong event serves to demystify computer science for educators and students. Sponsored by a nonprofit organization called Code. org, Hour of Code aims to get students interested in computer programming. Coding helps reinforce math skills, analytical and deductive reasoning. It also encourages attention to detail and many other skills. Many educational experts believe that literacy in reading, writing and math will not be enough for future generations. Computer programming, or coding, is a beneficial skill for success in the future. Code is what powers so much of what we interact with on a daily basis, from cell phones to cars. By the year 2020, it is estimated there will be 1 million more jobs in computer science than students graduating with computer science degrees, according to Federal Way Public Schools.

Democrats, sent a letter on Tuesday to House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi urging the reauthorization of the Trade Adjustment Assistance program, which is set to expire Dec. 31. Reps. Smith and Levin introduced the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act earlier this Congress, which would fully reauthorize the program. “[Trade Adjustment Assistance] is a critical part of our nation’s competitiveness strategy in the face of a rapidly evolving world economy and its reauthorization enjoys bipartisan support,” the members wrote. “Congressional leadership and action to reauthorize [the program] is needed to stop the termination of an effective program that helps American workers and firms compete,

innovate, strengthen and diversify America’s economy. We must do all we can to save jobs by helping firms readjust and workers regain their edge and competitiveness in the global marketplace.” Congress created the Trade Adjustment Assistance program in 1962 in response to the loss of jobs among hard-working Americans as a result of increasing global competition, as well as to promote American competitiveness. Its benefits have several components: training assistance, income support while in training, and job search and relocation assistance. The program assists workers dislocated by the elimination of tariffs and other barriers to trade. Additional programs assist farmers, fishermen, and firms with the devel-

opment and implementation of business plans to enable them to regain a competitive foothold. Trade Adjustment Assistance by the numbers: •2,192,910: The number of workers served by Trade Adjustment Assistance since it was created in 1974 •104,158: The number of workers eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance in 2013 •50: The number of states with workers eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance benefits in 2013 •75 percent: The percentage of Trade Adjustment Assistance workers who got a job within six months of finishing the program •90 percent: The percentage of those Trade Adjustment Assistance workers who remained employed at the end of the year.

So many of our neighbors are struggling through difficult times....you can HELP and give HOPE. REMEMBER TO GIVE this holiday season to help the depressed, those fighting substance abuse and mental illness. Your gift today will tell someone in desperate need that they haven’t been forgotten. Please open your heart and donate today. Your help means their hope. 33301 - 1st Way S., Suite C-115 Federal Way, WA 98003 253-833-7444 www.valleycities.org

Healthy eating around the holidays and beyond Holly Martindale

Even though the holidays have a reputation for delicious food, it’s important for you to eat healthy not just around the holidays, but year-round. There are a few ways to eat healthy at this time, and all times, of the year: Watch your portion sizes. It’s better for you to just take small portions of the higher calorie foods. Remember that drinks have calories too. There can be quite a lot of calories in alcohol and other types of delicious drinks,

EATING WELL

e all know that feeling. That food coma we go into after a great holiday meal. It’s simultaneously wonderful and depressing. It’s hard to not eat anything and everything served; and it’s all so appetizing, you wouldn’t want to be rude, now, would you? But all that food can be unhealthy for your heart, can increase your risk for various chronic diseases and can take away from the nutrients your body needs to function.

Tips for overcoming holiday blues FROM STAFF REPORTS

“The holidays are a joyful time for many in the Northwest, unfortunately for some it is a time of loneliness, sadness and depression,” said Brian Allender, medical doctor, psychiatrist and medical director at Valley Cities Counseling. There are many reasons why people feel “holiday blues” and in the Northwest, causes may include: • Loneliness: Holidays can be lonely if friends and family are not nearby. Emotional or geographic distance can be particularly painful during the holidays. • Seasonal affective disorder: Days are shorter this time of year and the lack of sunlight causes the “winter blues” in many people. • Financial hardship: If your financial resources are severely limited at this time of year you may not be able to give the gifts that you wish you could. It is even worse if your family is far away and you are unable to travel to them. • Reminders of lost friends and family: During the holidays your thoughts turn to family members and friends who are no longer with us. The sense of loss you feel can spoil even the happiest of celebrations.

the meal or the party. Exercise. Exercising can help you burn off those excess calories. Eat until you’re full, not until you’re as stuffed as that turkey is. Take small bites and chew slowly. Don’t stand and talk next to the appetizer table, instead talk with people away from it so you’re not tempted to take samples of the food. Whole grain bread is better for you than refined grains, such as white bread. You should check the label to make sure that the first ingredient in the bread is a “whole” grain.

• Pressure to feel happy: When you think you should feel one way and you actually feel another can cause you to feel guilt and confusion. • Past holiday experiences: If you have had sad holidays in the past, the memory of them may cloud your holiday this year. Are any of these reasons for feeling down true for you? If so, here are some ways Allender recommends that may help you overcome these holiday blues: • Think of your blessings: Taking stock of the positives in your life can go a long way toward ending your “bah humbug” mood. • It’s OK to say “no”: You do not have to do everything for everyone. • It’s OK to feel what you feel: Trying to force feelings that aren’t there may make you feel worse; acknowledge your true feelings. • Seek sun and endorphins: Be sure to get at least 20 minutes of direct sunlight each day. Don’t forget to exercise. Both sunlight and exercise help fight any chemical causes that trigger the blues. • Help someone else: It’s hard to feel blue while you are busy helping someone else. Volunteer at a shelter, sort food at a food bank, or spend time with an elderly relative or friend. Doing these activities let you experience what the holidays are really about: Giving to others. • Create your own traditions: There are no rules for how you spend your holidays, so if old traditions bring up unhappy memories, start new ones. Share the holidays with friends and don’t wait for them to include you, ask them to your home. If cooking a Christmas dinner is too much, do brunch. • Stay busy and avoid unstructured time: If you know the holidays are difficult for you, try to fill your calendar with fun events. Using these practical tips, Allender maintains you can

Eat light meat and take off the skin. Dark meat and skin aren’t as healthy for you. Include the foods that are high in antioxidants at the dinner table like cranberries, sweet potatoes and vegetables. All the extra sugar around the holidays can be bad for your health. Sugar contributes extra calories that can lead to obesity. We all love to eat the extra pie in our kitchen, but remember, an extra 3,500 calories and you’ve got another pound. That’s an extra 500 calories a day for a week straight. With that you’ll be well on your

way to gaining some extra weight. Try some of these tips to help you eat healthier this holiday season.

That way you know what is healthy and you can eat more of that. Use lower-calorie, or lower-fat substitutes, such as light sour cream or light mayonnaise, when making classic holiday dishes. Eat a small, healthy snack before you go to a party or a meal. Eat regularly. You don’t want to be ravenously hungry when it’s time for
