T
he Town Square Park redesign is at the top of its $1.7 million budget after the Federal Way City Council unanimously approved a $68,000 increase to a firm’s contract last week at a council meeting. Henderson Partners, the contractor responsible for doing earth work at the park, is the first of at least three others who will work on constructing a restroom, picnic shelter, spray park and incorporating electrical and lighting, among other features. Constructed in summer 2014, the council approved the park’s redesign this past summer to expand it and implement restrooms, a spray park and a larger grass lawn, among other improvements. The redesign began over the summer with a budget of $1.5-1.7 million and won’t be complete until next summer. Steve Ikerd, the Parks and Recreation deputy director for the city of Federal Way, said while the contractor was doing groundwork, they found it would save the city money for them to take on more work as they already had large equipment on the park’s property. “Because of the new addition of some upgrades from LID (Low Impact Development) from public works here … we now have got to go back and kind of redesign some things,” Ikerd said at the meeting. “So for example, the sidewalk instead of a 3-inch rock base under, it will need to go to more of a 6-inch rock because we’re going to be putting previous concrete on top of it.” The “redesign” to the redesign Ikerd is referring to is the additional $400,000 stormwater outreach project and educational center that was added to the park in mid-September. Technically, the funds for that project come from a separate source, Storm Water Utility user fees, which were allocated for the project years ago. Still, that totals $2.1 million of city funds invested into Town Square Park, not including the some-hundred [ more PARK, page 3 ]

Keller Williams Charity Auction to benefit Federal Way family, three others BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
Casen Buswell, 3, lives in pain every day with a condition that only 13 others in the world have.
Violet Spataro, 4, sees out of one eye and carries the genetic mutation for cancer in every cell of her body. Sienna Braun, 7, is about to undergo a bone marrow transplant after her second leukemia diagnosis. And Leslie Aubry, 35,
suffers from brain damage and paralysis after a brain bleed that caused a stroke. She used to be a nurse. Casen, Violet, Sienna and Aubry were chosen to be the recipients of Keller Williams Puget Sound’s fifth annual charity auction on Nov. 7.
The Federal Way-based office received 15 applications. While last year the auction benefited McKenzie Harris, a quadriplegic girl’s family, to the tune of $56,000, this year, Tricia Ackerman with Keller Williams said their goal
is to raise $100,000 to disperse among the four recipients. Janette Braun, Sienna’s stepmother, said being chosen to receive funds from the auction was “amazing, a blessing” and it came right when her Federal Way family
needed it. Sienna was diagnosed with pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia on May 2, 2014. After fighting it for a year, her family was heartbroken to learn it had returned over the summer. Sienna’s parents decided [ more AUCTION, page 16 ]

New transfer station for south King County moves one step closer FROM STAFF REPORTS
Efforts will move forward this fall to replace King County’s 50-year-old solid waste transfer station in Algona with a modern recycling and transfer station in south King County. The Solid Waste Division of the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks will soon resume a formal State Environmental Policy Act review process, including an Environmental Impact Statement, that evaluates two action alternatives and a no-action alternative for replacing the 1960’s-era Algona Transfer Station. “Replacing this outdated facility helps ensure south King County residents and businesses have the recycling and solid waste disposal options they need for the next 50 years, and I am pleased that our discussions with the City of Algona have helped us to better understand their regional needs and interests,” said Pat D. McLaughlin, director of the King County Solid Waste Division. King County and the city of Algona have held many productive discussions on ways to address the potential impacts anticipated with constructing a new facility on the property next to the existing Algona transfer station. These discussions will continue during this next environmental phase. “I am encouraged that King County is moving ahead with public meetings and review of their plan for a new south

But Ikerd said this increase to Henderson Partners’ contract could end up saving the city money in the long-run. “While he’s there with the big equipment, it’s much more cost effective to have him do that than for us to try to do it ourselves or bring in another contractor,” he
In addition to 245 quilts on display, the event featured door prize drawings every hour, raffle baskets, vendors, a tea room that had home-baked goods along with coffee or other beverages that were complimentary. There were three bed turnings each day, with 17 family heirloom quilts on the bed and Marianna Garrett told stories. Linda Hill, quilt show chairwoman, helped organize the event. King County facility, and look forward to continuing our discussions with the county to ensure that the interests and concerns of Algona residents and businesses are considered and addressed in the county’s planning process,” said Algona Mayor Dave Hill. The SEPA review and EIS process include multiple opportunities for public review and comment. The Solid Waste Division will issue a revised Determination of Significance by Nov. 3, followed by a 21-day public comment period. A draft EIS is expected by February 2016 followed by a 30-day public comment period, including a public meeting. A final EIS is expected by October 2016. In addition to investigating the impacts of taking no action and retaining the existing facility at 35315 W. Valley Hwy. S., Algona, the EIS will evaluate possible impacts to the environment of building a new recycling and transfer station on parcels at 35101 W. Valley Highway S., Algona, and 901 C St. SW in Auburn. Replacing the old Algona Transfer Station is recommended by King County’s Solid Waste Transfer and Waste Management Plan. The plan, approved by the King County Council in 2007 with input from an advisory committee, established the framework for upgrading the county’s aging transfer station infrastructure. King County is proposing to replace the outdated and over-capacity Algona Transfer Station with a facility that provides sufficient space for recycling services; encloses the building to control odor, noise and dust; provides adequate on-site space for vehicles to maneuver; and integrates sustainable building design.
said. “The future bids we’ll be looking at here won’t be coming in with that size of equipment.” The work this firm will do on the stormwater project includes digging out land for the project’s rain garden and moving the land to the south side of the park to level a slope instead of transporting the soil off-site. Yet, Councilwoman Kelly Maloney questioned if this would be the last budget increase request.
Ikerd responded that was what the city was anticipating but they won’t know for sure until they get the bids for the other improvements. In addition to doing the earth work and infrastructure for the park, Henderson Partners will plant the park’s 25-30-foot holiday tree on Nov. 5 with AmeriCorps planting trees Nov. 20 and Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, Jan. 15-18.

Sharon Marie (Holzer) Tucker Sharon Marie (Holzer) Tucker, age 61, lost her battle against cancer Saturday, October 24, 2015 at her home in Federal Way, WA. She was born July 25, 1954 in Mobridge, SD to Lois and Michael Holzer, grew up in Timber Lake, SD, graduated high school in 1973, attended college in Aberdeen, SD, and moved to Seattle, WA in 1976. She married Don Tucker on June 10, 1977 in Bellevue, WA. Sharon was very active in her childrens’ activities like scouts, soccer, baseball etc., and schooling such as PTA and later working for Federal Way School District as a Para Educator. Sharon was proficient in American Sign Language and loved working with kindergarten age children and with special needs children. In Sharon’s 17 years with the schools, she built many caring relationships with just about everyone she encountered. She had a heart of gold, caring for all the children at school like they were her own. If anyone had a need, she would go above and beyond to make sure the need was met and that they were happy and comfortable. She was always wearing a smile and her positive attitude was contagious. Sharon had many hobbies and collections such as Coca-Cola memorabilia, Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, sports cards, toys, books, and of course, movies. She loved and rooted for the Seattle Seahawks, Sounders, and Mariners. Also, she loved taking road trips every summer with her husband and children to go visit family in South Dakota, Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. Even during her battle with cancer, she volunteered to play her ukulele with Pat, a great family friend. They would go to retirement homes and entertain the residents. She was also a member of the Old Time Fiddlers Club. Sharon is survived by her beloved husband, Don; son Kevin (Caroline) Tucker, son Chris (Courtney) Tucker, daughter Linda Tucker, her mother Lois Holzer, as well as her loving sister Dianne (Jerry) Valle, brothers Stan, Dan (Debbie), Dennis (Jodi) Holzer, brotherin-laws Bobby (Betty) and Gary (Helen), and lots of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father, Michael Holzer, mother and father-in-law Rosa and Joe Tucker, and her niece Derryn Tucker. A funeral mass was held on Thursday, October 29, 2015 at St. Theresa’s Parish in Federal Way, WA.

Voting forecast for local races
ror, while Hickel got the Seattle Times and the Tacoma News Tribune. Gregory received a “very good” from the Municipal League and Hickel received an “Outstanding.” Hickel led coming out of the primary, but based on mailings Gregory is closing the gap. Big turnout favors Gregory, light turnout favors Hickel. Forecast is a low turnout, outside Seattle. In the council races, look for incumbent Dini Duclos to retain her seat. However, P.K. Thumbi may have closed the gap with a late television push. Appointed incumbent Lydia Assefa-Dawson should hold off underfinanced and unknown Mark Greene to get a full term. In retiring Councilman Bob Celski’s open seat, front runner Mark Koppang has lost a little ground to first-time candidate Julie Hiller but he still is likely to win. Hiller should have started sooner. Bob Roegner
The biggest race in the state this year is right here in Federal Way between Democratic incumbent legislator Carol Gregory and Republican challenger Teri Hickel. Tomorrow is Halloween, but don’t get tricked into voting for a candidate by some inaccurate or misleading mailings or television commercials. Anything that isn’t from the candidate or endorsed by the candidate came from a special interest group that has its own agenda. And it may not be the same as yours. Only read or listen to pieces from the candidates themselves. If they put their name on it then at least listen or read. But with the ways things get stretched, you still need to be careful. Gregory has more relevant experience than Hickel, although Hickel has a significant community involvement background. However, in the endorsements that count, Gregory got the endorsement of the Federal Way Mir-

merica is a great nation built upon service. Service invigorates communities and changes lives. Unfortunately, Congress is proposing major funding cuts to AmeriCorps, a national service program that strengthens the Federal Way community while providing opportunities for people of all ages — especially young adults — to gain valuable professional skills. We urge U.S. Senator Patty Murray not only to continue her support for AmeriCorps, but to actively advocate for national service funding as Congress considers a final budget bill in December. As a member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations committees, Murray is well positioned to support national service programs that benefit communities across the United States, Washington state and Federal Way. AmeriCorps empowers people from all backgrounds, especially young adults, to put their idealism into action. Here in Federal Way, 65 AmeriCorps members tutor students to ensure their success in Federal Way Public Schools and in life; 30 AmeriCorps members with EarthCorps work to restore critical habitat along Hylebos Creek while connecting kids to nature; and a team of 12 AmeriCorps members with Habitat for Humanity builds safe, decent affordable housing for low-income families. AmeriCorps programs also work to fight homelessness, to provide support for veterans and their families and are often the first to respond to natural disasters. Through service, AmeriCorps members gain critical real-world education and work experience while building a lifetime commitment to civic engagement.

Providing balance to columnist’s sex assumptions I again attempt to provide some balance to Amy Johnson’s assumption that teens and single adults will have sex outside of marriage and that it’s all just a wonderful thing (“12 tips to stay sexually savvy during Seahawks season”). Why can’t she just say that sex is serious busi-
ness best left for marriage? Then she can go on with this current idea that if one insists on fornicating, at least take the following precautions. As it is, she invites everyone, including teens, to join the bandwagon of sexual activity, as long as they’re careful. The tone is that it’s all quite normal, healthy and manageable. She admits that mistakes can happen even with precautions applied, but they needn’t be serious: “Regular checkups are important to know you’re healthy, and catching anything that could be a problem early is the next best thing. [There are often no symptoms for STDs, so] make sure you’re cleared for play before getting on the field.” So has HIV disappeared? Are abortions
really that free of consequences? Also, don’t worry about the state of your soul or future relationship with your spouse (silence on these topics). And these Christians out there harboring ideas about fornication from the Bible, can they be serious? Cleared for play. Sex as a game. Have fun teens. Our society is losing its mind.

Limit public PAEC funding I’ve been following the discussion about the Performing Arts and Event Center and feel there definitely needs to be a limit on the financial support the city provides. We don’t need further
projects that are not selfsupporting. I think the City Council should seek private funding to support this endeavor and support a law that limits the city’s obligation to $100,000 a year. Our essential services should take precedence over performing arts.

Seek private PAEC funding Dear Mr. Mayor and members of the Federal Way City Council, I’ve been following some of the discussion about the Performing Arts and Event Center and feel there definitely needs to be a limit on the financial support the city provides. We don’t need further projects that are not self-
supporting. I feel it is pretty irresponsible of the council to approve the project when there was feedback from neighboring towns regarding the financial responsibility that would fall on the shoulders of the citizens as the center is getting established. For the numbers to show that we would be losing money for the first few years, unless there was a lot of additional private funding, is not a wise move in my way of thinking. We really do pay a lot of taxes already; it would be appreciated if the taxes wouldn’t go up for a building that I may never be able to afford an entry ticket into. I think you should seek private funding to support this endeavor and support a law that limits the city’s obligation to $100,000 a year. If that really was a [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

Q&A with Mr. FW: Town Square Park redesign and Metro punishment Q
: Mr Federal Way, this question is in reference to the new park (Town Square Park) that is right next to the Federal Way Transit Center bus stop. This park was just barely created and finished, and then the city turns right around and demolishes it and destroys it? Why did they do this? I feel like I should be asking the city for a refund for the taxes I pay. A: Mr. Federal Way would like to start off by saying that Mr. Federal Way likes parks. You should like parks too. They’re often a nice way to escape the normal hustle and bustle of city life even when plopped down in the middle of a city. That being said, Mr. Federal Way was not much of a fan of Town Square Park. Sure it had some nice amenities such as the chess sets, barbecues and the bas-
ketball courts (Mr. Federal Way’s a big fan of those by the way), but it wasn’t much of a park. Town Square Park’s original design seemed as though it was still about 80 percent concrete. There were more parking spaces than actual grass to walk on. If you drove by, you’d have a hard time telling it was a park. That probably has quite a bit to do with the city destroying it. The current construction you see is the city’s Phase II improvements. The city’s website says that more than 450 residents participated in the survey for design elements, many of whom had never been or rarely been to the park. From the survey, it seems
the people agree with Mr. Federal Way: Grass and trees are pretty important in a park. Baking in the sun while standing on concrete isn’t exactly fun. Still, Mr. Federal Way does wonder why this wasn’t a thought when the park was first built. It feels like it should have been designed much better from the jump. The city’s goal was to remove the urban blight caused by the old, closed theater that used to occupy the spot, but they replaced that with concrete. What sense does that make? The “new” park will be more green and feel much more like a park, but shouldn’t that have been the goal in the first place? Seeing it destroyed so quickly
for those reasons feels like the city didn’t put much thought into it in the first place, making it a waste. It’s also a bit small. Mayor Jim Ferrell’s vision for the park may never fully come to fruition with the limited space sandwiched directly between busy roads. As far as your tax dollars go, there are plenty of things in this city lately that Mr. Federal Way would like to get a refund for. If you have any success in getting one, let Mr. Federal Way know. Mr. Federal Way would love to send the mayor a bill. Q: Mr. Federal Way, have you seen the changes to Metro transit’s fare enforcement policy? If so, what do you think of them? A: Yes, Mr. Federal Way is aware of the new policy and it seems like a step in the right direction. Criminal charges against
riders seem a bit harsh for not paying a few cents. Also, working on getting new locations to challenge the citations at is very welcomed. These are people who had trouble paying and traveling in the first place, why make them struggle through the bus schedule again just to try to fight the citations? That being said, punishment for not following the rules is very fair. In fact, Mr. Federal Way has some suggestions for punishment of young riders. Spending some time washing buses will likely make them rethink not paying again. Just a bucket of water, some soap and a sponge. Think of it like community service. Or perhaps instead of washing the outside of the buses, maybe get them to clean the interior. Too many times there’s stuff crammed

voice for change Jerry Galland and insiders choice Roger Flygare. In an upset, Fuller was leading out of the primary, with Galland eliminated. But most of Fuller’s lead was likely do to his willingness to challenge the status quo at South King Fire and Rescue. Challenge it in a reasonable manner, but still challenge it. Predictably, as the front runner, at the last debate he had already started to soften his comments. But that might also cost him some votes. At the same time, Flygare had added just a slight edge of willingness to open up a small
debate on the transparency of keeping commission minutes. Flygare was trying to pull some votes from Fuller. However, the biggest threat to Fuller isn’t his softened position, or Flygare trying to change his image. It is Galland who is running as a writein candidate. He isn’t likely to win, but Galland could pull enough votes away from Fuller to give the race the Flygare. Makes you wonder what may have gone on behind the scenes for Galland to try and gain votes? The bond for the fire district improvements should pass this time. They were
only a few points short last time, the amount is now lower and the fire district has worked to answer questions. However, if it does pass, the fire district needs to be careful how they interpret the results. There is still a lot of voter mistrust that needs to be addressed. In county races, current deputy elections Director Julie Wise should win over legislator Zach Hudgins. Incumbent Assessor Lloyd Hara is still the front runner over his former Deputy John Wilson but this race might get closer. Since both are Democrats, the Seattle turnout will be
critical. Seattle has City Council elections that are hotly contested and could bring a heavy turnout. Voters made marijuana legal statewide. However, in Federal Way a majority of the City Council continued to use their legislative authority to stop retail shops from opening. The mayor and council made an agreement to ask the voters a slightly different question and place an advisory vote on the November ballot to resolve the dispute. The question now is whether to allow marijuana businesses. Only four would be allowed. Next door in Au-
Council has slipped in its toe to a possible massive tax drain on the taxpayers of Federal Way — $100,000, a drop in a bottomless pit. The “temporary” day shelter is planned to provide showers, clothes washing facilies, hot meals, mail service and Internet availability. A look to the future and I see transportation will be provided to the “temporary” persons needing the services at the shelter. I see security needed for the men, women and children using the “temporary” shelter. How long is the “temporary” user allowed to stay at the shelter? I can see problems all costing tax money. But it’s such a good feeling to give money the City Council could not resist.
They gave the money unanimously.
board member-to-be Liz Drake and Sally McLean, assistant superintendent of business services. McAnalloy was one of eight individuals who gave eight-minute speeches followed by over 60 members of the public who gave two-minute speeches. The approximately 20 senators who attended are to be commended for extending the meeting approximately an hour so that everyone could speak. In his speech, McAnalloy specifically mentioned two inequities that affected the school district and its residents: (1) the state uses an inequitable and outdated funding formula that is almost 40 years old and favors large school districts such

When I testified during the event, I reiterated those two points and stated I was disappointed that it took legislators six months to complete their session and then they waited to the last minute to pass a transportation package and a budget that didn’t address the McCleary decision.

I was impressed with individuals who were passionate in their speeches about what the Legislature didn’t do and what they should do. In addition, some speakers came up with some great ideas on sources to address the funding problem: a capital gains tax, a state income tax (which is progressive), a carbon tax and finally cutting some tax breaks that costs the state billions of dollars in revenue. Finally, the main theme of all the messages was “find the solution NOW and whatever you do, make it fair!”

award-winning multimedia show. Audiences hop a box car through the Dustbowl and commune with the spirit, stories and songs of America’s iconic folksinger, saintof-the-workingman and poet-of-the-people as he plays for a union meeting of striking mine workers on the verge of yielding to corporate vigilante violence. Woody Guthrie is best known as an American singer-songwriter and folk musician, whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children’s songs, ballads and improvised works. He frequently performed with the slogan “This Machine Kills Fascists” displayed on his guitar. His best-known song is “This Land Is Your Land.” Such songwriters as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Joe Strummer and Tom Paxton have acknowledged their debt to Guthrie. Guthrie traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned traditional folk and blues songs. Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era during the Great Depression, earning him the nickname the “Dust Bowl Troubadour.” Throughout his life, Guthrie was associated with American communist groups, although he was not a member of any. He was married three times and fathered eight children, including American folk musician Arlo Guthrie. He died
from complications of Huntington’s disease, a progressive genetic neurological disorder. During his later years, in spite of his illness, Guthrie served as a figurehead in the folk movement, providing inspiration to a generation of new folk musicians, including mentor relationships with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and Bob Dylan. Noojin’s plays, including “The Complaint” and “The Knife Trick,” have been commissioned and produced at Actors Theatre of Louisville, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre, Bloomington Playwrights Project, Circle Rep Lab and are published by Dramatic Publishing Company. The feature film based on his play “Unbeatable Harold” premiered on Showtime in 2011, starring Charles Durning and Henry Winkler. “Hard Travelin’ with Woody” was originally produced at FringeNYC in 2011. Noojin has acted in hundreds of plays regionally and in New York at Circle Repertory, La Mama E.T.C., Circle-inthe-Square, Circle Rep Lab and The Drilling Company. There are two performances of “Hard Travelin’ With Woody” at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7 and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8 at Centerstage Theatre.

The group visited the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, Mount Vernon and other national landmarks. One of the highlights was dinner with the president of the International Association of Firefighters. “It was great to meet firefighters that had the same passion as me, to see kids from all over and to know that there is a larger issue that a lot of kids are going through everywhere,” McLain said.

Beamer beats Federal Way for first time in school history BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
W
hen Federal Way and Todd Beamer met last season, it was called the biggest game in the city’s history. The division title was on the line and even the mayor was on-hand for the coin toss. The stakes weren’t as high this season, but the result was much more satisfying for the Titans as they won 16-6 over the Eagles on Friday. The win was about more than clinching a playoff spot for Beamer. It was also their first win ever over Federal Way. They were 0-7 against them going into the game and had been outscored 263103 in the series. According to Beamer head coach Darren McKay, it also signifies the beginning of the rivalry. “Last year when this game was for the division championship, we talked about how big it was for the community,” McKay said. “From our standpoint, we still didn’t call it a rivalry. Until you know you can get beat, I don’t think it’s a rivalry. Now we feel it’s a rivalry.” Turnovers were a key part of the victory for the Titans. Federal Way moved the ball well in its first two drives, but it was their third offensive drive that may have been the turning point. The first drive ended in a missed 36-yard field goal. The second saw a 25-yard run by Jovon Vongsaveng followed by a 35-yard touchdown pass from Ben Koler to Bobi Sims. With the Titans offense
Cameron Quinn leaps in front of Federal Way’s Bobi Sims to intercept a pass in the first quarter of Todd Beamer’s 16-6 win on Friday, Oct. 23 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror still looking stagnant, the Eagles once again pushed down the field near the end of the first quarter. Koler attempted another deep pass to Sims, but this time Beamer’s Cameron Quinn was ready for it. He leaped in front of Sims for an interception. The defense held for the rest of the half, but the Titans still trailed 6-0. But just two plays into the second half, the Titans shifted the momentum in their favor with the second turnover of the night. Federal Way’s D’Jimon Jones fumbled while scrambling and the Titans dove on it at the Eagles 43-yard line. Five minutes later, the Titans took the lead on a 1-yard run by Isaiah Lard. “I think [the turnovers] were huge,” McKay said. “I think getting the fumble the second or third play of the second half was huge. It’s re-
ally like we got the ball both halves. We’ve done really well in the third quarter this year. I think we’ve only given up seven points the entire season. They saw something early on. They had us spread out, but we went out and got that fixed.” Beamer added another touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 3-yard run by Lard to take a 14-6 lead. The Titans would finish with 214 yards rushing. Lard accounted for 127 yards and two touchdowns. He has taken on much of the load with Andrew Tofaeono suffering from a foot injury. For Federal Way, while things started out well, it was clear that Jones was shaking off some rust. He returned for his first game since injuring his foot against Camas on Sept. 12. The Eagles used a twoquarterback system in the game to try to ease him back
into rhythm, but that ended when Koler injured his thumb in the second quarter. Jones showed much of the flash that he had prior to his injury that had Eagles’ fans excited, but the timing was not always there. “D’Jimon was in a cast the last six weeks and we knew he was going to be shaking off a little bit of rust,” Federal Way head coach John Meagher said. “He was a little rusty tonight, but he gives a chance with his feet and some of the other things he can do.” The lowest point of the game came late in the fourth quarter for the Eagles. On third down, backed up near their own goal line, Jones was chased out of the end zone for a safety by Beamer defensive end Christian Serrano. “We just gotta execute better with our offense,” Meagher said. “I was proud
of our defense. They played well, certainly in the first half. It was a hard fought game and they played well. We just didn’t get it done.” Federal Way still has a chance to make the state playoffs, but the elimination games begin a week earlier for them. As the third seed in the South Puget Sound League Northwest, they will travel to Tahoma, the third seed in the Northeast division, in a loser-out game. Their game will take place tonight at 7 p.m. at Maxwell Stadium. This is the second time Tahoma has been in this situation in the past two years. They defeated Thomas Jefferson 10-7 last season. The winner will be the fifth seed from the South Puget Sound League North for week 10 crossover games. For Beamer, the situation is very familiar. They travel to face the Northeast division winner Kentwood in a seeding game. “It’s the exact same thing as last year when we were the number two team and they were number one,” said McKay. “They lost their first game that they were ahead in for awhile and have run the table since.” Kentwood lost their second game of the year when Kentlake defeated them 36-21 on Oct. 23. Previously, their only loss was in the first week of the season when they lost to Curtis 34-24. Beamer and Kentwood will play at tonight at 7 p.m. at French Field. The Titans could earn the second seed from the South Puget Sound League North if they win and would be the fourth seed with a loss.
Jefferson finishes off Decatur for first outright conference title BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
Things were a bit tougher than expected for Jefferson in their regular-season finale against Decatur, but they aren’t going to complain as they clinched their first-ever outright league championship in football with a 22-3 win on Thursday. Before the season, Thomas Jefferson head coach Jeff Zenisek said he saw the attitude about football change from being just something to do at school to being important to the kids. He stressed how important it was to compete in everything they do. The work they put in has been evident all season as they have either won or have had the chance to win late in every single game they played this season.
Kenny Turner once again led the way for the Raiders. He was a part of all three scoring plays, rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for one. The first score of the game was his 22-yard passing touchdown to quarterback Mason Delacruz in the first quarter. It was his only pass of the night. He finished the night with 36 carries for 224 yards and two touchdowns. The defense came up big when they needed to as well. It was a bend, but don’t break night for them for much of the night. They held Decatur to just 51 yards on 21 carries, with many of those coming on quarterback scrambles. But the passing game was a slightly different story as they were gashed for much of the night. Decatur has struggled offensively
all season. Going into the game, they were a predominantly runoriented team. They decided to trust in quarterback Josiah Talai’s arm for the majority of the game and he delivered one of their best offensive performances of the season. Talai delivered multiple passes of at least 15 yards. His favorite target on the deep ball was Deantre’ Scott. He found Scott for gains of 14, 24, 25, 31 and 38 yards on the night. He finished with seven receptions for 155 yards. Talai would finish with 213 yards through the air. “I think in the last couple weeks our passing game has gotten better,” Decatur head coach Levi Suiaunoa said. “We decided we’ve got to use it. This is us looking forward to next year, not putting away the rest of this year, but we’re preparing for next year. A lot of these kids are
coming back. That’s what Decatur will be next year, we’re going to throw the football.” But even with their improved passing offense, the Gators still ran into trouble with the Jefferson defense. One of the biggest beneficiaries of Decatur’s passing attack was Jefferson’s Tyson Sonnenfeld. Sonnenfled had three interceptions from the safety position, including a diving interception in the first quarter. He also had five tackles on the night. Delacruz added one more interception when he picked off Talai in the end zone on one of Decatur’s better drives. “They’ve run it most of the time,” Zenisek said. “It kind of surprised us when they came out in a fourwide set. Maybe they saw something. We’re pretty salty against [ more CHAMPS, page 11 ]

the run, maybe they didn’t think they could run it against us. Kudos to them.” “Turnovers have been a problem for us,” Suiaunoa said. “We had drives, but we couldn’t put it in the end zone. We just need to finish those kinds of drives.” Justin Madden was once again all over the field defensively for the Raiders. He finished with 10 tackles, one for loss and a sack. AJ Timoteo also had a great night on defense with six tackles, two for a loss and two sacks. Decatur was led by Tae McMillan defensively. McMillan had 17 tackles (eight of them solo) and two sacks. The Gators know they only have two more games left. Their hope is to build toward next year and send the seniors out with a couple of wins. “We’re very excited,” Suiaunoa said. “Our [junior varsity] has got one loss. We just went toe-to-toe with the league champs for four quarters. We’re heading in the right direction. We just took on the league champs and the kids didn’t flinch. That’s all I ask of them.” Decatur played a Kent-
Monday has them back on the right track. The postseason has been assured for the Titans for awhile now. Just last week they were in the running to be one of the top seeded teams from the South Puget Sound League North for the league playoffs. Consecutive losses
to Tahoma, Kentwood, Mount Rainier and Kentlake derailed that possibility and pushed the Titans back to the middle of the standings. Federal Way and Beamer already met earlier in the season and the Titans claimed a 3-1 victory. The Eagles were looking to end their season on a high note after being eliminated from playoff contention the week prior. The first set on Monday went to Beamer by a score
Meridian team (4-4) that was the odd-team out of a three-way tie in the South Puget Sound League Northeast for the second and third seeds. That game was a home game for the Gators on Thursday, after the Mirror’s publishing deadline. Despite the win, the Raiders were still unhappy with how they executed in the game. “We gotta play our game,” Zenisek said. “I’m disappointed with how we played and I know the kids are too. You saw the body language and things we’re not use to. There was no excitement. That’s one thing we’re going
to work hard on this week, we’re gonna get excited about football again.” The Raiders will play against Kentlake (4-4) tonight at 7 p.m. at home. The Falcons pulled off the upset against Kentwood on Oct. 23 to earn the second seed in the South Puget Sound League Northeast and a playoff spot. Jefferson could finish with the top seed from the South Puget Sound League North for the state playoffs with a win over Kentlake and a Beamer win over Kentwood. They could also finish as low as fourth with a loss and Beamer win.
of 25-14. The following sets were much more competitive as the Titans won 25-20 and 25-21. Federal Way gave themselves chances to win a set, but were unable to keep pace with Beamer late in the sets. With the Eagles season ending, their head coach Donja Walker praised the improvement of the team over the course of the season. For Beamer, the team is [ more BEAMER, page 21 ]

Habitat for Humanity, Delta Air Lines rebuild home FROM STAFF REPORTS
Employees from Delta Air Lines kicked off a renovation project on a Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County home in Federal Way on Oct. 19. The house will be entirely gutted, and over the course of three weeks, more than 300 volunteer Delta employees — from baggage handlers to flight attendants to Delta’s vice president in Seattle — will roll up their sleeves and unite efforts to transform the house. Work on the first day involved exterior demolition, including removing siding, building scaffolding and demolishing roofing.
When complete, the house will belong to the Webe Redie family including Tirngo Webe and Yibeltal Redie as well as their four teenage girls and infant daughter. Yibeltal works at a recycling center and Tirngo is on maternity leave but returning to her job in the near future as a laundry aid. They are excited to be working alongside the Delta volunteers to create their new home and looking forward to having a safe place to live. The Federal Way project is part of Delta’s nationwide initiative this fall, where more than 2,400 Delta employees will be working on seven homes in six cities, including Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York and Seattle. This was Delta’s third Habitat home in three years in Federal Way, however, Habitat has done many more homes in Federal Way in recent years.

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Purse stolen at soccer game: At 10:13 a.m. on Oct. 25 in the 2400 block of S. 312th St., a woman’s car was broken into while she and others were at a soccer game. The suspect stole three purses containing two wallets, a credit card, identification cards and checks. Already having closed all accounts under her name, the woman stated the suspect has yet to use her information. Mother strangled: At 4 p.m. on Oct. 25 in an unknown block of S. Star Lake Road, a 46-year-old man was arrested for strangling his 34-year-old ex-girlfriend, with whom he has a child in common. The woman had called the suspect to come over to watch their 8-month-old daughter while she went to the doctor for stomach pain. After he arrived, the two got into an argument and the man choked her for at least a minute, causing her to lose consciousness. Their baby and another child were in the same room as it happened. Police noted a visible red abrasion on her neck with scratches and blood on her lips. The woman said she had a headache and her throat hurt. She also informed them this wasn’t the first time domestic violence occurred. Officers interviewed a witness who was walking her dog outside when

ing multiple shots fired between 332nd and 336th Street. Witnesses reported between 10 and 20 shots but officers could not locate a suspect or gather further leads. Police documented the case along with two other gun-related calls that same night involving the newspaper delivery car robbery and an assault with a firearm. Man’s apartment shot at: At 4:50 a.m. on Oct. 24 in the 2416 S. 273rd St., a 21-year-old was shot at in his apartment but sustained no injury. The victim said he had left a party at 3:30 a.m. in Spanaway and let two females stay at his apartment until they sobered up and someone came to get them. About an hour later, one of the females said her ride was there so he walked her outside. When he opened the door, there was a blue Audi and two males wearing dark hoodies stepped out of it. As he got closer, one of the males pulled out a black semiautomatic handgun and “racked” the slide. He then put the gun to the victim’s face and told him to get the other girl. The victim slowly walked to the apartment and told the other girl that she needed to leave. After she left, he waited about five minutes to go outside to smoke. As he was out there, he saw the same car drive by, so he went inside. Almost immediately, he heard a gunshot and his window was hit by a bullet. The glass broke and his brother ran to the bathroom to call 911. But police noted in the report that it appeared the victim wasn’t being completely honest about all of the details as there were a few discrepancies. Ulti-

[16] October 30, 2015 — $150,000 in nearly four [ AUCTION from page 1] to take time off work to be by her side for her chemotherapy treatment before her upcoming bone marrow transplant and the 100 days after she’ll have to recover. “We’ve officially maxed out our credit cards and are about $30,000 in debt,” Braun said. “Outgoing bills, the essentials are about $4,000 a month, not including food and gas. It’s frightening to see what we’re going to be coming into now.” The Brauns have three other teenage children who depend on them. They often take shifts at Seattle Children’s Hospital to stay with Sienna but after her transplant, she’ll need as much support as she can get. “The first 100 days are the most important after transplant,” Braun said. “If something goes wrong … it’s when she’s most susceptible to infections.” And planning for Christmas wasn’t even a thought until they found out they were recipients for the charity. “Basically we spoke to the kids and explained to them there wouldn’t be a Christmas this year,” she said. “They were sad but totally understood. We have to prioritize funds but if this fundraiser from Keller Williams goes well, we may be able to at least have a small Christmas.” Ultimately, the Brauns said the best gift will be having Sienna cancer-free. Casen’s family has also paid thousands of dollars towards their child’s health
years. “It’s an intense, scary thing to think about but we just try to take each day, day by day,” said Jenna Buswell. The Buswells had to travel to Belgium when Casen was younger to meet the only doctor at the time who could help with his rare condition, Glomovenuous Malformation Plague Type. The genetic condition causes Casen’s vessels to grow irregularly, which causes painful lesions all over his muscles and chest. It is so rare that at the time of his diagnoses, there were only 13 other known cases in the world. After Belgium, the Puyallup family was told to go to San Francisco but the doctor wouldn’t help them. Luckily, they found a doctor in San Antonio, Texas through social media, who agreed to treat him. So far, he’s had nine treatments, which include cauterizing the vessels with lasers. However, the treatments were so painful, he had a pain-induced seizure in January, so the family temporarily stopped them under doctor’s orders. Unfortunately, they have to start them up again if Casen will be ready for surgery when he turns 5-years-old. Buswell said when Casen was born, there was a lot of community outreach and the family received financial support but their insurance won’t cover experimental treatment, which made costs out of control.

The money, they said, would go toward a commuter car to drive Violet to the hospital while dad is at work. The portion Aubry, the former nurse, receives will go toward her care at a long-term care facility, where she undergoes at least three hours of therapy daily, physical therapy for her paralyzed arm and leg and speech therapy. “She has the memory and mind capability of a 5-year-old,” Aubry’s sisterin-law wrote. It may take up to two
years for whatever recovery Aubry might have. She’s currently out of sick time, pay and vacation hours and received her last paycheck July 13. She is single and lives in a two-story house with bills that are approximately $1,800 a month before medical expenses. Ackerman said there will be a committee to determine how much funds each recipient receives after the charity auction. She expects the families to get those funds in time for the holidays.
The Keller Williams Charity Auction will be held from 5-10 p.m. on Nov. 7 at Emerald Downs in Auburn. A silent auction will run from 5-7 p.m. with drinks available. The dinner and live auction will take place upstairs and last from 7-9 p.m. Tickets are $75 and are tax-deductible. To purchase a ticket, contact Debbie McNeil with Keller Williams at 253-835-4500.

But still, through all of the pain, Buswell said her little boy appears to be happy and healthy as long as he’s clothed. “As a mom, all I want is for my baby to have a pain-free and happy life,” she said. Having been diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, a pediatric cancer in the eye, Violet’s parents knew their daughter would have future struggles. But the diagnosis was made worse when doctors told them she has a genetic mutation that leaves her highly susceptible to other cancers. Her body cannot produce a tumor suppression protein that most people have and her risk of getting another type of cancer before the age of 6 is high. “That mutation is in every cell of her body,” said her mom, Shenay Spataro of Gig Harbor. Treating Violet’s eye cancer included cat scans, 12 rounds of chemotherapy, MRIs, surgeries, a port-a-cath, blood draws, injections and more than 20 exams under anesthesia. In the end, doctors were able to save her right eye as well as her outgoing personality. But that, too, came at a cost. “Going through all of this for four years has honestly ruined us, financially,” Spataro said. “It seems like this hole that we’re never going to get out of.” Spataro said people often think that when a child’s in remission, families don’t need help anymore but “that’s just not true.” “When we found out we were a recipient of this Keller Williams auction, my husband and I just cried,” she said, adding their prayer had been answered. The Spataros have had to sell one of their cars and are over $50,000 in debt.

hoping that this performance will be closer to what they see in the postseason. Camryn Skari led the team with 14 kills, 11 digs and three service aces in the match. Leena McKenzie led the team in digs with 24. Renee Tiumalu added 10 kills and 17 digs. “I feel good that we ended the regular season with a win,” Beamer head coach Pat Taitano said. “We’ve been on a little bit of a losing streak. I know we’ve been playing well, we’ve just been falling short. I think it’s just focus down the stretch. I think a little bit of nerves got to the girls when we were battling for first place.” Beamer finishes the year with the fifth seed out of the South Puget Sound League North. They began play in the SPSL Tournament on Thursday after the Mirror’s publishing deadline. “I hope to see us be aggressive and actually come together and play well,” Taitano said. “I think I like our chances. I feel like we can match up with most teams. I hope to win two games so we can get a nice seed going into districts.”

F
ederal Way police are currently investigating a suspicious death that occurred on Saturday. According to witnesses, a 34-year-old Federal Way man accidentally stabbed himself in the stomach around 4:40 p.m. in the 35300 block of 13th Way S. Police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said the
man was unconscious when police arrived. “Witnesses on scene indicated the victim dropped a filet knife and somehow stabbed himself in the stomach,” Schrock wrote in an email. “The victim was transported to Harborview [Medical Center] but was pronounced dead on
arrival.” The King County Medical Examiner’s office has not determined how the stabbing occurred, however Schrock said it is not a homicide. Because this is an ongoing investigation, the Mirror will update this report as more information is available.

pet of the week Chihuahua mix, about 10 pounds (ID No. A478676). This little guy is so special he has two names! Chico is a calm and quiet boy who can be shy around new people. However, if you give him some time to get used to you, he’s the sweetest guy and loves attention. Due to his shyness, Chico would do best in a home with kids at least 12 years and older who will understand he needs some time to get to know you. Chico is good on a leash and loves going for walks. He is learning to sit on command and takes treats gently. Chico is neutered, current on vaccinations and microchipped. You can find out more about Chico on his Pet Finder profile at www. petfinder.com/petdetail/33573498 where he goes by Gordito.

One of the staples of Indian Cuisine is Turmeric.
Real food - healthy and delicious for HAPPY, HEALTHY FAMILIES.
“Your vitamin for the day.” Healthy, happy families dine at East India Grill. Turmeric is widely known as the main spice in curry. It has a warm taste and is frequently used to flavor or color curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses. But the root of turmeric is also used widely to make medicine. Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn, stomach pain, intestinal issues, liver and gall bladder problems. It’s also used for headaches, bronchitis, colds, infections, fever, fibromyalgia and cancer. Other uses include depression, Alzheimer’s disease and kidney problems.
