School Local firefighters fight Eastern Washington fires board approves A budget BY RAECHEL DAWSON

rriving in the touristdriven Chelan was eerie. “There was no power and the town and valley was dark,” said South King Fire and Rescue Lt. Tyler Luke. “The darkness and smoke made it difficult to see the scope of destruction.” But the hills were glowing with fire, Luke said, and he and his fellow firefighters had unsettling feeling of what was to come. “As daylight broke and the devastation began to reveal itself, it was a pretty sobering site,” Luke recalled. “Thus far, it has been long hours working in many different areas, helping people and protecting structures however we can.” It’s been nearly two weeks since Luke, Eric Kiphart, Joe Eliasen, Brooks Werner and South King Fire and Rescue Chief Chuck Kahler were deployed to help combat the fires that have overtaken Eastern Washington this summer. South King Fire and Rescue firefighter Randy White has also fought fires as part of the National Guard unit as a Warrant Officer. According to Capt. Jeff Bellinghausen, [ more FIRE, page 2 ]

The Federal Way Public Schools Board of Education unanimously adopted the 2015-16 budget on Tuesday, the first one “in a number of years” to be balanced, according to school officials. The budget takes in nearly $31 million more in revenue than last year’s for a total of $271.5 million in the general fund. This leaves an estimated $18 million for the beginning fund balance. “I want to take a moment to remind all of us that the only reason we really talk about budgets and the only reason we have money is to help support outcomes for students,” said Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Sally McLean at Tuesday’s board meeting. The additional funding comes in part from an increased revenue contingency, a small increase in federal funding, an increase of $4.7 million of Educational Programs and Operations

Community notices increase of aircraft noise BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
Airplanes go by Bill Brough’s Marine Hills home about every 90 seconds, he says. “I find it unacceptable that I can’t stand outside and talk to my neighbor, I have to wait for it to be gone,” Brough said about
the aircraft noise. At night, Brough said he has to wear earplugs if he leaves his window open to cool his house down during this hot summer. Like many, Brough, a former flight deck designer engineer, is concerned the noise will depreciate his house, which he’s lived in since 1976. “My home has been devalued by $100,000 because of the noise and so has every other home in the neighborhood,” he said.
Neil Corbin, a Twin Lakes area resident for about 22 years, said he has become extremely concerned and anxious about the commercial aircraft flying over his home. “Beginning in 2015, we started experiencing extreme high levels of noise during all hours of the day and night,” Corbin said. “It’s getting to the point where we cannot hear ourselves think.” Michael Kun, who lives near Silver Lake Elementary, said he’s noticed the
noise has gotten worse in the last six months but his several complaints to the Sea-Tac noise complaint line has left him with no response. According to Federal Way city officials, Brough, Corbin and Kun aren’t alone in their concerns. “We had an increase this summer in complaints – neighbors and citizens saying, ‘Wow, it just seems like we’ve experienced more, what seems to be going on?’” said Cathy Schrock, city spokes-
woman. To figure out just what’s been going on, Chief of Staff Brian Wilson reached out to the Port of Seattle, and he and Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell recently met with Port of Seattle representatives. According to Schrock, they learned Sea-Tac Airport’s main runway that has been under construction which has caused an increased amount of planes to utilize the remaining two runways. This has affected the frequency of planes taking off. And because construction is limited to six months – it’s set to be done this October – the Port
of Seattle wasn’t required to do an environmental review. Also within the last five months, the Federal Aviation Administration authorized air traffic to use a global positioning system (known as GPS) for take offs and landings as opposed to fixed locator beacons. “This has resulted in airplanes changing flight patterns,” Schrock said. “Anybody who didn’t have a flight over their house may see more of that now.” The switch to GPS allows airlines to save money on fuel, she added. “By doing it the way [ more NOISE, page 20 ]

Toxic Algae Program reports that nine lakes in Washington currently have toxic algae blooms, including Lake Jeane in Federal Way. According the health officials, toxic blue-green algae blooms can make people sick. This is especially true for small children and the elderly. Pets can die after
drinking water with a toxic bloom and should not swim in lakes with toxic algae. Not all lakes in Washington are monitored for toxic algae, but lakes can be tested if a suspected toxic algae bloom is reported. If you suspect you have been exposed to toxic algae, see your physician. If you suspect your pet has been

Jay Inslee’s office, 16 large wildfires have consumed more than 590,000 acres with the majority of them spreading across Central and Eastern Washington. More than 200 homes have been destroyed and more than 12,000 homes and structures remain threatened. “These fires have completely devastated people, families, and entire communities and with our skills and resources at South King Fire and Rescue, I don’t see how we could sit and watch from the other side of the state,” Luke said, noting the Federal Way and Des Moines communities, along with his department, have provided him with the equipment, training and skills to help with these fires. Since Chelan, Luke and the other firefighters have been assigned to the first creek fire and the fire in Twisp, where three firefighters were killed while responding to a wildfire. “We were assigned to the Antione Creek area of the Chelan complex fire when we hear radio traffic discussing the possibilities of trapped and unaccounted firefighters,” Luke said, noting they had already been on shift for about nine hours. “Our strike team quickly regrouped and headed up to Twisp.” Luke’s team arrived to see an “incredible” amount of smoke and fire as the hills above Twisp burned. After meeting with the local fire department, they were assigned to protect homes on the edge of town that were most in danger. “We spent the entire night protecting the town as we closely watched the fire,” he said. “Upon returning to base camp after a 32 hour shift, there was noticeably more somber mood throughout camp.” Luke expects to go home on Saturday but left thinking his deployment would be much shorter. “Before we left, I told my wife I expected to be gone about three days,” he said, adding it’s his first wildland deployment in the 7.5 years he’s worked with South King Fire and Rescue. The Tacoma resident said his experience helping with the Eastern Washington fires has been rewarding. “The community has really shown their support every day,” he said. “They’ve brought snacks and extra meals and even warm breakfast sandwiches to the front lines. You can’t pass anyone without hearing a thank you.” The firefighters have also been asked to do tasks they normally don’t get to do in Federal Way, such as digging a fire break around houses with a hand team or clearing brush with a “hot shot team.” But there are still challenges. There’s fire everywhere and not enough resources to mitigate it all.

Contributed photo “I hope the people from the Federal Way and Des Moines area truly grasp the amount of devastation and the number of lives that have been affected on the east side,” Luke said. “I hope they see the importance and value of sending resources from communities in Western Washington to Eastern Washington.” The number of fires in Eastern Washington is enough to cover from Tacoma to Mukilteo, Luke said. “Someday, we will have an event, such as an earthquake, that will press our resources to the max on the west side and I know, from the support of the communities out here, they will not hesitate to send whatever help they can to us in our time of need,” he said. To help with the fires in Eastern Washington, people can donate to their local Red Cross, the Community Foundation of North Central Washington fire relief fund or the Wildland Fire Foundation, which benefits families of fallen or injured firefighters.

Clinton led to Ferrell-Hickel key debate Apparently receiving the “Key to the City” is the gift that keeps on giving, and after tax credits for the Performing Arts and Events Center, it’s the hottest debate in town. Earlier this year, just prior to announcing her candidacy for the state Legislature as a Republican, Teri Hickel received the “Key to the City” from Democrat Mayor Jim Ferrell in recognition of her community service. The result has been an avalanche of name calling and finger pointing with Republicans accusing Democrats of playing politics, and Democrats claiming Republicans are misleading the public and violating Public Disclosure Commission rules. How you view the mess largely depends on which party you identify with. However, since the race between incumbent Democrat state Rep. Carol Gregory and Republican challenger Hickel, will likely be decided by turnout and independents, let’s try and connect the dots objectively. You can follow how one decision builds on another in this political drama. Based on several interviews over the last few months here is how this little political theater unfolded. Former Republican, turned Democrat, Mayor Ferrell lit the fuse to this fiasco, but it was former President Bill Clinton who handed him the matches. Clinton is a master politician and a firm believer in triangulation. Triangulation is the art of a candidate co-opting his opponent’s goals or policies in an attempt to gain political support. That makes it harder for your opponents to attack your position. In this case the candidate is Ferrell and he politically adopted Hickel with the award. He is also a
fan of triangulation as a political method. Like most office-holders Ferrell always has one eye on policy and the other on the calendar. He is up for re-election in 2017. There are a lot of Republicans still angry with him for switching parties, and many Democrats haven’t fully accepted him into the fold yet either. To win in 2017 Ferrell may need Independents and Republican crossover votes; ergo the appeal to Hickel supporters through the timing of the award. When Ferrell gave Hickel the award he, along with most other political watchers, was well aware that Hickel was going to run. Ferrell likely felt that because she hadn’t officially announced, he could give her the award and curry favor with her Republican supporters and the Democrats wouldn’t notice, or wouldn’t put up a fuss. Big mistake, because as soon as the picture of Ferrell making the presentation to Hickel was published, every political person in town knew it would be used by Hickel in the campaign. The picture would come to be an embarrassment to Democrats. That is not to say Hickel didn’t deserve the award, she probably did. Both she and Gregory have made significant contributions to the community. But any political adviser would have told Ferrell he should have given Hickel the award when she first retired several months ago, and his reasoning wouldn’t be questioned, or he should wait until after the election. If for some reason, Hickel decided not to run, then he could safely give her the award. Ferrell’s timing actually detracted from the honor to Hickel as the political quagmire quickly became Bob Roegner

Dear Planned Parenthood, Thank you for being the place that one in five women in the United States has visited at least once in her life. Thank you for the 516,000 unintended pregnancies you helped prevent last year. Thank you for performing 400,000 pap tests and 500,000 breast exams to help ensure women’s health. Thank you for the millions of HIV and other STD tests and treatments you perform. And thank you for being a place where women can have a safe and legal abortion. While I am not pro-abortion (let’s be real—who is?), I do believe that it is important to provide a safe and legal option for women who choose to terminate a pregnancy. And since I’m being brave enough to state my pro-choice stance so publicly in this religiously conservative area, do you know what else I believe? I believe it’s important for parents to have the support they need to raise the children they have to be healthy and well-cared for. This means that, in addition to supporting the EACH Woman Act, I support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which would help pregnant women, who need a paycheck, stay employed, rather than being fired for needing accommodations due to pregnancy. I also support legislation to extend WIC (Women, Infants and Children) benefits to a child’s sixth birthday, so that children in lowincome families can continue to receive nutritious food between the time they turn five and the time they are eligible for free or reduced meals through their elementary school. And I support the Healthy Families Act, which would establish a national paid sick leave policy so that more employees have the opportunity to earn paid sick leave to care for themselves or other family members in need. PP, I know you know that family planning is more than providing birth control pills to teenagers. I know you know that family planning is a lifelong task; one that involves all these issues and more. And I know you are right there on the front lines of the fight for reproductive justice in all kinds of ways, giving your clients all the information they need to make informed choices. At a round table discussion on women’s issues last week with Rep. Adam Smith, he said, as a public policy maker, his No. 1 wish was that he had a magic wand that would make every child wanted and loved. I know you are the people who work for this idea each and every day, despite the political groups who spread nasty rumors and try to make you the villains in the health care story of our time.

for Carol Gregory stating, “that she repaired the Redondo Boardwalk.” I have been by there and I see no such thing being done. Could this be a false statement done on purpose? Looks sort of false to me. Is this the pot calling the kettle black?

Mr. Federal Way’s view: Taxes, politics and porn, is there a difference? Q:
[ ROEGNER from page 4] the story rather than the honor itself. But Ferrell was trying to have it both ways; keep his Democrat support while hopefully winning over some Republicans who might then support him in 2017. Ferrell either didn’t seek advice or didn’t listen to the advice he got, or got bad advice. Behind closed doors the Democrats likely made it clear they were not amused by his maneuver, and Ferrell realized he needed to find a way to earn back his blue stripes. Enter the marijuana debate. In another example of trying to play both sides Ferrell publicly threatened to veto City Council action that would extend the moratorium on marijuana shops in Federal Way. That would make the pro-marijuana Democrats happy. Ferrell also knew that the City Council had the votes to override his veto. But that was alright, as a former prosecutor he didn’t really want marijuana shops in town anyway. It looked like a win for him on both sides. Another mistake. Ferrell soon realized that
[ SUBURBS from page 4] I know I’ll probably get a few passionate letters with opposing beliefs after this is published, and I know it’s nothing compared to what you endure on a daily basis in order to provide health care to millions of women who have nowhere else to go. Thank you for your diligence. Thank you for your
of the day, though, your taxes will increase so it will certainly feel like a tax increase. Mr. Federal Way is more caught up in what these taxes are to be used for than the amount. They are to be used for additional teacher salaries. OK, things that make you go, hmmm. Wasn’t this what the entire McCleary issue and the Supreme Court fining the Legisla-
tive branch is for? Doesn’t the state Constitution call for primary funding of education? Teacher salaries should be a part of this and Mr. Federal Way wonders who intercepted the football containing all of the cash. It clearly didn’t make it into the Federal Way end zone. Perhaps it was thrown by Mr. Tom Brady and was light on cash anyhow. Federal Wayans you got caught holding the ball and it’s already deflated. Unfortunately the air needed to pump it back up comes with 9.6 million dollar signs. Q: Mr. Federal Way why can’t the Democrats and Republicans get along? Why are they
filing complaints against one another with the Public Disclosure Commission? A: You have to love politics. This is a white collar version of the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s and our Middle East. They are just destined to fight. So let’s recap. Teri Hickel, a Republican, gets a key to the city from the mayor who is a closet Republican or is that a closet Democrat? Mr. Federal Way has no idea anymore what party the mayor belongs to. It’s likely whoever is winning. Anyhow, the dems get all kinds of upset over this as Miss Hickel is using the photo of this key to the city presentation by the mayor in all of
her campaign materials. The dems claim this is misleading as the mayor endorsed her opponent, Carol Gregory, a Democrat. Since apparently the democratic voters are too brain dead to figure out the difference, the Democratic Party, being the self-appointed savior that they are, asked the Public Disclosure Commission to look into this and make Hickel quit using the photo. Mr. Federal Way can’t answer this question as he is doing a face-palm. This is kind of like Mr. Federal Way’s kids – Dad, he’s making fun of me. Is not. Is too. Wow, just wow. What’s worse here? That the Democrats actually filed this or that they
think that lightly of their party voters that they will get confused as to whom they should vote for? Mr. Federal Way thinks if the latter is the case, that the state should revoke their voter’s license. This conversation would go like this. Hello, Mr. or Mrs. Democrat, this is the Department of Elections calling. We are requesting that you return to us your voter registration card as you are not bright enough to be in possession of this powerful tool and while you’re at it, why don’t you also return your high school diploma as that was given to you in error too. 2015 politics. The end of an error. [ more MR. FW page 21 ]
he would look weak politically and invite challengers if his veto were overridden, so he had to come up with another plan. This time he sought political advice and came up with a credible solution. He proposed to the City Council that they compromise, have a public advisory vote on marijuana, and agree to abide by the results. Ferrell also proposed that the vote be in November as that would help bring out more Democrat voters. That would have the affect of helping the advisory vote pass. But of more importance, it could help Carol Gregory and that would ease the pressure from the Democrats. However, some Republicanleaning council members figured out Ferrell’s strategy. Since November would be more expensive, they argued for the August primary when the GregoryHickel race wouldn’t be on the ballot. Ferrell’s plan passed 4-3. Ferrell had endorsed Gregory, and with the vote scheduled for November he was hoping the issue was now behind him. But it wasn’t and it got hot-
ter as Hickel’s campaign, predictably, ran the picture of Ferrell giving Hickel the “Key to the City ” in ads, brochures, in television commercials and on social media. If you’re involved in politics you learn that if you are going to run a picture with someone else in it, make sure you have that person’s permission. Because intended or not, the implication to the average voter, who doesn’t live and breathe politics every day, is that the person in the picture with you is a supporter of yours. That is why politicians seek to have their picture taken with important people. It elevates their own importance. But that is also why there are rules against this specific type of activity. Most office seekers have people sign a form that allows the candidate to use the picture. Ferrell signed a form endorsing Gregory. Hickel may not have known all the rules candidates have to follow, but her campaign staff either knew, or should have known. These are not amateurs and shouldn’t make amateur mistakes. The action all but
forced the House Democratic Campaign Committee to file a complaint with the Public Disclosure Commission to stop the use of the picture, which they did. They, like their Republican counterparts, want to support their candidate. Gregory wisely stayed above the fray. Hickel’s campaign staff should have kept her out of it as well, but didn’t. The one person who should have been talking was Ferrell and he wasn’t. Ferrell should have apologized to all sides for his misjudgment in the timing of the award, repeated his reason for giving Hickel the award in the first place, all while also asking her to stop using the picture. He then should have underlined his reasons for endorsing Gregory. Lastly, he should have asked the candidates to focus on the needs of the residents of the 30th district and have a real adult discussion about their differences on issues. Sometimes politics isn’t pretty. Candidates, and their advisers, on both sides try and gain an edge because their goal is to win. But the ill-considered tim-
ing of presenting the “Key to the City ” started a snowball that in turn affected the marijuana vote, led to an expensive advisory ballot on marijuana, complaints to the commission and more anger than normal between Democrats and Republicans that will have to work together in January. Some would like to
think that all of these issues are somehow separate. That is naive. They are all related. It’s politics in an important year. But this spat could have been avoided very easily. And then maybe, just maybe, the candidates would be talking about real issues.

Mr. Federal Way I saw in last week’s paper that the school district is going to raise our taxes $9.6 million over the next two years. I’m guessing you might have an opinion on this? A: You’re darn right I do. Mr. Federal Way couldn’t wait for someone to ask this question. First, a point of clarification. They are not really raising the taxes as in the form of another levy, they are simply collecting the entire amount that the original levy authorized. In essence, Mr. Taxpayer, you were getting “a break” the last couple of years as the school district didn’t need all of your money, just most of it. At the end

Federal Way schools to receive funds for all-day kindergarten FROM STAFF REPORTS
When school resumes in 2015, an additional 23,000 Washington kindergartners will receive statepaid all-day instruction due to the new state budget that provides an additional $174 million for full-day kindergarten. Overall another $2.9 billion was invested into Washington’s K-12 public schools. Federal Way schools will begin receiving full-day kindergarten funding. “Studies shows that increased learning opportunities at an early age lead to higher long-term achievement, especially for low-income and minority children, along with improved reading skills and personal development,” said Sen. Joe Fain, who serves on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee. “A better foundation and introduction to school will prepare children for better success at each grade, which will prepare them to compete for good jobs in the future.” Fain’s district includes parts
of five school districts including Auburn, Kent, Tahoma, Federal Way and Enumclaw. Twenty-four new schools in those districts will now be able to offer state paid fullday kindergarten for the 2015-16 school year, a 63 percent increase in schools currently offering the program. “It’s our responsibility to ensure all students receive a quality education,” Fain said. “All-day kindergarten expansion is prioritized for schools with the most at-risk students from low-income and minority families, who are disproportionately left behind by our current education system. This will help students begin their academic career on the right track and ensure a child’s academic achievement is not determined by their ZIP code.” The funding increase means 359 additional schools statewide will provide all-day kindergarten during the 2015-16 school year, a 76 percent increase over the 488 schools currently offering the added instructional time. The budget also includes funding to provide all-day
The Federal Way Public Schools district will begin receiving all-day kindergarten funding. Contributed photo kindergarten for all Washington children by the 2016-17 school year, one year ahead of the state’s original goal. Kindergarten curriculum includes initial development in reading, math and writing skills, learning to communicate, hands-on learning experiences, development
of motor skills and social and emotional skills such as how to work well with others. Transitioning from half-day to full-day kindergarten means students who were receiving 450 hours of instructional time in the classroom will now spend 1,000 hours during the 180 day school year.
Citizen of the Month: FRED on a food and fun mission BY ANDREW FICKES For the Mirror
It’s not every month that the Federal Way Mirror nominates an animal as its Citizen of the Month, but this month, one particular animal—or amphibian, rather—was recognized for making an extraordinary impact in the community. Meet FRED: he is a bright green tree frog on a mission to bring food, fitness, learning and fun to children newborn to 18 in the Federal Way Public Schools. In the summer of 2013, three medium-sized school buses that were destined for the scrap yard because of their high mileage were given a new lease on life. The three buses were refurbished with refrigerators and hot carts on board, each painted bright green, and sent out to several

Approximately 60 percent of students served by FRED come each day to the program. Contributed photo apartment communities in Federal Way to serve hot lunches to low-income students. Thus, FRED was born. Something also that FRED stands for is Fun, Read, Eat and Dream. According to Matias Garcia, a FRED bus lead for Federal Way Public Schools, FRED not only
feeds hungry children but FRED also provides fun, physical activities, educational board games and computer games, and books to read while eating lunch or to bring home and keep. Learning specialists are on site to engage students in fun, educational games. “We’ve had several feeding projects within the dis-

trict,” Garcia said. “A lot of people have trouble getting transportation (to the meal sites). We have high need communities. This was a way to bring the meals to the people.” Garcia said laptops on board the buses are borrowed from the school district. “Sponsors have donated money to buy laptop games and board games,” Garcia said. “We also have a craft project for kids to do. For the past two years, we have also had (physical education) teachers from the district to have a P.E. day with all the kids.” This past summer the three bright green FRED buses visited a total of six apartment communities over a period of six weeks, four days a week, between June 22 and July 30. Deb Stenberg, a spokeswoman for Federal Way Public Schools, said FRED served more than 2,900 meals during that time to students in Federal Way, parts of Auburn, Kent and unincorporated King County. Sponsors of the program this past summer
were United Way of King County, the City of Federal Way, the Department of Agriculture, and the King County Library System. Contributors to FRED in its first year comprised the following: City of Federal Way, United Way of King County, a state-funded Meals for Kids grant, the Franciscan Foundation for Prevention of Youth Violence, Federal Way Rotary, Half-Price Books, South King County Firefighters Foundation, Federal Way Lions, and BECU. Numerous individuals donated books and small cash donations. FRED also thanks many volunteers who supported the program by reading to children. Garcia said he witnesses firsthand the impact FRED makes on students. “I’ve seen a lot of kids getting interested in school a little more,” Garcia said. “Kids are having lots of fun. They’re learning. Kids are very happy. We have kids come back consistently. Probably around 60 percent of students (served) come every single day.” Not bad for a bright green tree frog.

Since 2004, Decatur has won a total of 20 football games. In that timespan their best season was in 2011 when they finished 4-5. Last year the Golden Gators finished 1-9 under Levi Suiaunoa in his first year. Going into his second year, he’s feeling much more confident in the direction the team is heading. “I feel good,” Suiaunoa said. “All-around as a team we’re better than last year. We just so happened to have two really talented guys last year. But as a whole, this team is a lot more talented.” Decatur gave up 497 points last year, more than any of the previous year since 2004. The goal this year is for the defense to match the offense. “We need to be better at defense; we were last in defense last year so there’s nowhere to go but up for us,” Suiaunoa said. “We
also played a lot of young, inexperienced players on defense last year. We played about four or five freshmen. Now they’re sophomores and they look pretty good. If we shore up the defense and keep scoring touchdowns, we’ll be alright.” “I think we’ve gotten a lot faster at all positions,” Suiaunoa said. “I think we’ve also gotten a lot stronger at a lot of the positions. In the physical aspect, I think we look good. But you never know until you’re lined up.” The Gators also had their most prolific offense last year as they finished with 315 points scored. They managed at least 21 points in all but one of their games; they were shut out against Beamer. In the 10 years prior, the highest point total they managed was 233 in 2006. A huge part of that offense were Isaiah Diggs and Isaiah Hatch, both of whom have graduated. Diggs alone accounted for 1,998

kids get along. They play for each other. They’re always doing things together. That’s a good thing. It wasn’t like that last year. I think a lot of it has to do with our great senior class.” Suiaunoa says that after the final game of last season, they challenged the upcoming seniors to lead by example. So far, he’s seen them answer that challenge. Another thing that Suiaunoa believes will help change the culture at Decatur into a winning one is having players from other sports on the team. Wrestlers and baseball players like Tyler Swanson and Tim Hughes are always welcome to Suiaunoa because they have shown they know what it takes to win at Decatur. “Our seniors have won about three football games since they’ve been here,” Suiaunoa said. “They were challenged at the end of last season, now they’re out here after practice running routes, collecting water bottles and throwing the football. We’re changing the culture, or at least we’ll try.” Decatur begins their season on the road at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4 against the Spanaway Lake Sentinels at Art Crate Field.
THOMAS JEFFERSON RAIDERS

close to making the playoffs once again, but fell one game short. It will be head coach Jeff Zenisek’s second year at the helm for the Raiders and being around the team more this season has him feeling more comfortable in his position. “Last year, I wasn’t around the kids until around the summer,” Zenisek said. “I was still working at Tenino and trying to get up here for spring ball and I was only really around the kids for three hours at the time. Now we’re getting the philosophy in and what the expectations are early.” They finished the year with a 3-7 record and in third in the SPSL Northwest. In their week 9 crossover game to earn a playoff spot, they pushed Tahoma to the limit before falling 10-7. “Even though we finished third, it was a pretty good year,” Zenisek said. “We really could have finished 5-5 with one more score here or there. Especially against Tahoma where we only lost by three points. We were driving at the end and fumbled.” Since then, Zenisek said the attitude has changed from football being just something to do to being pretty important to the kids. He says that there has been a core group of around 50-60 kids who have been lifting and practicing together each day since they began in the spring.
“It’s about competition in everything we’re doing,” Zenisek said. “We set some expectations for spring ball and one of them was that they couldn’t get their gear until they maxed. It’s been about challenging to get things like their locker and their jerseys. We bought new jerseys and they have to get their number they want.” At the beginning of the season last year, Jefferson had a lot of injuries in the first four games that coincided with an 0-4 start. The opponents in those games (Puyallup, Graham-Kapowsin, Kentwood and Federal Way) were no slouches. The goal for this year is to stay healthy and keep the starters in. They return six starters on both offense and defense for the upcoming season. The team has a few key losses for the upcoming season. Lonyae Jones, who was second-team all-league as a wide receiver and first-team as a defensive back, has graduated. Roberto Ramirez-Vazquez, a second-team all-league offensive lineman and Hen Yong, a second-team all-league defensive back, have also graduated. The team will have a few all league players back still. Justin Madden is returning after a first-team all-league effort at linebacker. Jacob Kauhane (offensive lineman/ defensive lineman) and Kenneth Turner (defensive lineman/running back) were
both second-team all-league last year and are entering their senior year. Mason Delacruz also returns at quarterback for the Raiders after starting as a sophomore. He was also all-league for special teams. “It will be critical to see how Mason [Delacruz] performs this year,” Zenisek said. “Last year he was just a sophomore and made sophomore mistakes. With one more year under his belt, he’s getting reads down so far. At the end of the year last year you could see him take a big step. Not necessarily at just throwing the ball, but his reads and progressions, knowing when to scramble and slide, his leadership and how far to get the first downs.” Zenisek has been pleased with the team and fan base at Jefferson in his first year. He stated that last year that they were at another team’s homecoming game yet they had more fans was one of the more impressive things he has seen. “We’ve got good kids here that really surround the teams with support,” Zenisek said. “They have good family support. You’ll hear us break with our cheer of ‘family’ because that’s what we are, a family. You really see that here.” Thomas Jefferson will begin the year with a home game on Friday, Sept. 4 [ more FOOTBALL, page 10 ]

FEDERAL WAY EAGLES
After not making the state playoffs from 1976-2007, Federal Way has made a trend of being the state contender talk. Last season marked their fourth straight state playoff appearance and their fifth since 2008. They have become a powerhouse under head coach John Meagher who enters his 18th year with the team. After starting the season with two losses to championship caliber teams Union and Camas, the Eagles won nine straight games. In that span they averaged 47 points per game. They would bow out of the playoffs in the quarterfinals against Newport of Bellevue. When talking about Federal Way football last year, it was almost guaranteed that one word would show up at some point: Chico. Chico McClatacher has since left for the University of Washington, but last season he was the leader of the Eagles’ explosive

leading rusher in 2013 and suffered and injury prior to the 2014 season and Taylor Davis, the Titan’s starting quarterback last season, are both gone as well. Andrew Tofaeono, who was first-team all-league offense and defense, is entering his senior year.

offense that scored 470 points. He ran for 2,283 yards and 31 touchdowns. He returned four punts or kicks for touchdowns and made all-league as a defensive back as well. He was named one of the league’s players of the year and also was named first-team all-state. Other key departures for the Eagles include all-league linemen Robert Savusa (also SPSL NW offensive and defensive player of the year), Jared Pulu, and Alu Taito and all-league linebackers David Tiumalu, Chris Tuiasosopo and Charlie Taumoepeau. Despite the losses, the team still has tremendous talent. The Eagles’ running back and linebacker, Andrzej HughesMurray, has climbed recruiting lists in the offseason and looks to improve upon last year when he was second-team all-league at linebacker. D’Jimon Jones returns with a year under his belt at starting quarterback. The Washington State commit was secondteam all-league last year and may handle more passing duties this year. First-team all-league receiver Bobi Sims and first-team all-league defensive back Ben Koler are also expected to be leaders on the team. Sam Han, a special teams player of the year last season, is also back. The Eagles are expected to once again be in the discussion for the division title. Their goals, however, are likely far greater. Federal Way begins the season on the road on Friday, September 4 at 7 p.m. against the Union Titans at McKenzie Stadium in Vancouver.

This year, There will be expanded efforts to better communicate with event attendees, especially visiting teams and spectators who are not as familiar with the Federal Way High School campus.

campus and communicate the addition of lighting and security ahead of time. More signage will be provided and staff to direct visitors around and through campus. Parking for Memorial Field will be limited at least through the upcoming school year while contractors finish the south end of the building.

Expert… Home Care For Seniors…
Ask the
Question: My 89 year old mother had a fall in her home due to dehydration; my brothers and I are very concerned about her. She can’t drive any longer and we’re struggling with the time to run her errands, take her to medical appointments and checking in on her to make sure she’s eating nutritiously and drinking fluids. We have our own families and are challenged with the time to care for her. She wants to remain in her own home. What options do we have? Answer: Many seniors and their families struggle with these issues. Having a caregiver come each week to check on your mother, prepare her some nutritious meals, run her errands and take her to medical appointments can help ensure her quality of life in her own home. These simple tasks can be maintained with the assistance of home care services. This will ease your burden and establish more quality time you’ll have with her. – Sheila Goodfellow, Certified Senior Advisor, Comfort Keepers

father’s real-life story of how he and his best friend biked more than 800 miles from Santa Rosa, Calif. to Seattle in 52 days. At the age of 19 in the year 1909, they were the first ones to make the trip by road. “They decided they wanted to be explorers,” Gibb said, adding that it was a time when the North Pole was discovered a month prior and the Wright brothers were developing their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. “It was the age of adventure and dreams.” In addition to her father’s stories, Gibb collected letters he’d sent to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. “Father decided his best friend and he had become men on that trip,” she said. The two had worked all summer to save up money to have a blacksmith build a rack on their bikes and add
bicycles. They also had to buy new brakes for steep mountain hills. Together, they ventured out with $5.65 total. Sometimes there were no roads at all and the two had to carry their bicycles alongside railroad tracks. Gibb said once they had to cross a railroad bridge and got caught in a tunnel in the Siskiyou Mountains. Leaning their bodies against the walls, they made it out alive. Because her manuscript was twice as long as the book, Gibb had to cut out a few stories such as the time her father and his friend encountered a tramp on a train. “He was a wise fellow who taught them many things about the trade,” she said. “His nickname was ‘Going someplace.’” When the two had finally crossed mountains, rivers and a lot of land, they

[16] August 28, 2015 isn’t fully funded. In order [ BUDGET from page 1 ] levy collection for 2016 and $23 million in state funding. “I do want to compliment the Washington State Legislature for the work that they did do this last session because they did provide a significant increase for K-12 funding, including a COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) for staff,” McLean said, adding that is also provides a challenge. Because of a 30 percent discrepancy between revenue and expenditure, the state’s 3 percent COLA
to fund that, the district will need to collect roughly $4.8 million in voter authorized levy money in 2016. “Of that $23 million [in state funding], 62 percent or $14.2 million comes with what I call, ‘strings attached,’” McLean told the board. Nearly $6 million of those funds supports “programs that are categorical in nature,” such as Alternative Learning Experience; 1418, an Open Doors program that centers around drop
www.federalwaymirror.com out retrieval; Special Education; Career and Technical Education; English Language Learners; Learning Assistance Program and transportation. It also funds portions of the COLA, pension and health care increases. The running start will also see a $600,000 allocation. Basic education was also bolstered by $4.5 million, which generally pays for classroom teachers and support staff. Because of this, the district will add more

teachers and staff. “We saw an increase in class size reduction funding ($3.2 million) due to a very late rule interpretation by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction,” McLean said. “Actually, on Aug. 12, that has given us the opportunity to bring to you a budget that is actually balanced, assuming those rules stay in tact.” Of the remaining $8.8 million in state funding, $7.2 million will go toward materials, supplies and operating costs, which will include investments in school buildings, roofs and boilers. This will cover inflation costs, an updated school district website, $200,000 in election costs for the upcoming technol-
ogy levy, and the various leases the district has. The district will also utilize $2.8 million to attract and retain the best staff through collective bargaining agreements. “We have made a commitment to increase our building staff, particularly in our elementary schools,” McLean added, noting there will be an increase of family liaisons, counselors, deans and elementary assistant principals. Other areas of the budget include the associated student body fund ($3.673 million), the transportation vehicle fund ($935,300), the debt service fund ($20.29 million) and the capital projects fund ($56.13 million). School board members
Hiroshi Eto, Claire Wilson, Danny Peterson and Carol Gregory complimented and thanked McLean for her work on the budget. “There’s so much that goes into this budget, so much the community and public doesn’t understand,” Peterson said. Gregory, also a state Representative, acknowledged the budget came late in the game because of the state. “This isn’t a matter of having all spring and summer to work on this,” Gregory said. “This budget came late in July. I know the incredible (amount of) work that’s had to be done.” For more information on the Federal Way Public Schools 2015-2016 budget, visit www.fwps.org.

Misty also enjoys getting brushed. She is good on a leash and knows how to sit and “shake” on command. She also takes treats gently. Misty would do best in a home with children 8 years old and older. While she shakes paws well, she doesn’t care to have her paws handled at other times, otherwise she is a great family pet. If you’re looking for a sweet girl to join your family, Misty could be the one for you! Misty is spayed, current on vaccinations, and micro chipped.

they’re doing it now, they’re saving a tremendous amount of money on fuel but the people in Federal Way are paying the penalty in noise,” Corbin said. Port of Seattle spokesman Perry Cooper confirmed traffic does become more centered on airplane approach due to satellite navigation. “You can think of the old system like three lanes of traffic,” he said. “The aircraft could come in anywhere in that space of three lanes. Now with the satellite technology, they will be dialed in directly to the middle lane, so aircraft that might have been off the middle to the left or right lanes, will now be right down the middle lane.” Cooper said there’s also an increase of flights in the summer. “It happens every year,” he said. “We’ve had 100 flights a day more here this month than we did back in April.” And more flights in general. This July, Sea-Tac Airport is up 13.4 percent in flights compared to July of last year. “For July, we broke the all-time record for passengers in one month with more than 4.4 million,” Cooper added. “That broke the previous record of 4 million in June.” With an expectation of August breaking July’s record, Cooper said June through August has always been Sea-Tac’s busiest time of the year as opposed to the holidays, which is

common for other airports around the country. Cooper said they’ve received a few more calls from the Federal Way area but “nothing dramatic.” In fact, he says calls are down from last summer. From June 1-Aug. 24 the Port of Seattle received 36 complaints from Federal Way residents. Last year, they received 55 calls during the same time period. Because the Federal Way area isn’t within the boundaries for noise mitigation programs, programs he says are some of the best to date, not much can be done. Homes within the noise boundaries, which experience noise measured as 65 Day Night Level, an annual average – can receive funding for sound insulation. Homes outside of the boundary experience below 65 Day-Night Level and don’t qualify. “Sea-Tac has spent over $400 million on sound insulation, and acquisition and relocation of residents over the entire time of the program,” Cooper said. “Over 9,300 single family homes have been insulated and $100 million has been provided to Highline Public Schools for sound insulation with another $6 million going to Highline Community College.” The Federal Aviation Administration created those boundaries using noise monitors and based on them on various requirements. In 2012, Port of Seattle put in a noise monitoring device to measure the noise in the Marine Hills area but that noise apparently didn’t “rise up to the level of mitigation.” “The machine might say, ‘Yep, that’s fine,’ but the machine
doesn’t have to sleep,” Brough said about the noise monitoring device. As the device was removed in 2013, the Port of Seattle concluded a Part 150 study in October 2013. The study was done during Sea-Tac airport’s master planning. Cooper said, based on the study, it was determined again that aircraft noise wouldn’t be enough of a problem for abatement. Brough believes there is a solution to this problem but it would only be a reality if there were penalties involved, which there aren’t. “One of the big problems is there is no penalty for flying over these homes,” he said. He believes that pilots should ascend 2,000 feet and turn west instead of ascending 3,000 feet before turning on their flight path. When they land, instead of coming down at a glide slope of 2-3 degrees at a consistent rate, pilots use the “stair step” approach. Brough said this means they glide down, apply power and repeat, which makes controlling easier but more noise each time they pull the throttle back. Schrock said the city officials will wait to see if the complaints persist after summer and after construction is complete on the third runway before they take any more action. In the mean time, the city is forwarding all complaints to the Port of Seattle and urges Federal Way residents to contact Linda Stewart, the director of community partnerships with Sea-Tac Airport at 206-787-6611.

FW from page 5] Q: Mr. Federal Way I am tired of the columnist Bob Roegner that you have writing for the paper. He is mean-spirited, not funny and one-sided. Can’t you fire him and replace him yourself? At least you’re semi-funny. A: Gee thanks. Insult me and ask for my help all in one paragraph. Where did it all go so wrong? My career that is. Anyhow, be careful what
he is a pain, wait until you get an unadulterated, full view of Mr. Federal Way; not this sanitized version that makes it through an editor unwilling to let Mr. Federal Way tell it like it really is. You’ll wish for Roegner back. This is a bit over Mr. Federal Way’s low-income pay grade so off to that publisher’s office once again. We’ve talked in the past about the trepidation of going to

After some – how did Spock say it? – colorful metaphors were laced this way, the gist was “uh, &^$*, no”. See, most of the problem is that Roegner is more right than he is wrong. The publisher can’t sort it all out in the allot-
earth so he lets Roegner interpret the language of politics. And, generally, he is dead on. This is a problem as it creates immediate enemies in the community of politics that just can’t have the truth exposed. These people raise their voices and Mr. Federal Way gets emails. Primarily from folks like you. So the real question is – what is your real name and what political position are you

A: Now this is a great question. Mr. Federal Way has always been known for his creative side. How about “I’m not a crook”. Oh wait, that wasn’t a campaign slogan. My bad. Try these. “Results with resolve,” “a
fresh face, a fresh start,” “seeking something bigger,” “seasoned leader,” “service to our country, service to you,” “stop the growth?” Those all sound like slogans for a porn movie, but who can judge? The degree of separation between the two is very small. Q: Mr. Federal Way are you running for office? A: None of your business.-
