Supporters create petition to keep Camp Kilworth open for Scouts BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

More than 360 concerned parents, scout leaders and members of the scouting community have signed a petition to keep Federal Way-based Camp Kilworth open after the Pacific Harbors Council of Boy Scouts of America announced its closure last month. Camp Kilworth is one of four camps and one center that will close for financial reasons due to declining membership and use, according to Scout Executive Ralph Voelker. But supporters say the camp’s closure will do more harm than good. Dane Bergman, a Federal Way resident who was on the property committee for Camp Kilworth and was a program director for Cub Scouts for about four years, said closing the camp will just contribute to the already declining membership. “If you don’t have a camp, numbers will go down,” Bergman said. “For

That camp is part of the Pacific Harbors Council’s vision of a “one camp plan.” Camp Kilworth served scouters in Federal Way, Tacoma, Edgewood, Milton and Fife, Bergman added. Bergman’s son is now in Boy Scouts Troop 361 but attended Camp Kilworth every summer for four years as a Cub Scout and continued to volunteer after he got older. “It’s right in the city, it’s conveniently located for

However, Voelker said Camp Kilworth isn’t as centrally located as many of the petitioners believe it to be. “[The petition] says they would have to drive twoand-a-half hours to another camp,” Voelker said. “That’s not true.

leaving home, traveling on wings of music, finding love, misadventure, success, faith, redemption and the love of a good woman — and eventually returning home. It’s about the journey of a man in search of his own soul. That seemed to be a worthy story to put on a stage, and the best part is we could tell it entirely through the songs.” Cayman Ilika and Jared Michael Brown are two, young musical theatre talents in Seattle. Ilika appeared at Centerstage and at ACT Theatre as Patsy Cline in “Always… Patsy Cline.” She has been nominated for two 2015 Broadway World Awards (Local) as “Best Leading Actress in a Musical” – one for her performance in the title role of “Mary Poppins” at the Village Theatre and one for her role in “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” with ACT and 5th Avenue Theatre. Brown was awarded “Critic’s Choice for Person to Watch” in Seattle’s Broadwayworld.com’s Awards. He has appeared in “Oklahoma!”, “Cinderella,” “Saving Aimee” and “A Christmas Story” at the 5th Avenue Theatre. Brown previously appeared at Centerstage

From the iconic songbook of Johnny Cash comes Centerstage Theatre’s unique musical “Ring of Fire” about love and faith, struggle and success and home and family. More than two dozen classic hits including “I Walk The Line”, “A Boy Named Sue”, “Folsom Prison Blues” and the title tune paint a musical portrait of The Man in Black, a salute to a uniquely American legend. Though he is never impersonated, Cash’s remarkable life story is told through his music. Richard Maltby, creator of the stage version of “Ring of Fire,” wrote, “When I was first asked to put together a theatrical show out of the music of Johnny Cash, several things became immediately clear. First, we shouldn’t attempt to put Johnny Cash himself on stage. The persona, the voice, are not duplicable and the very best we could achieve would be a poor imitation. Second, as fascinating as Johnny Cash’s life was, it seemed to me that dramatizing it on stage would not enhance it. A film could do that, perhaps, but not a stage show. “To me, Johnny Cash’s biography wasn’t the most important story available to tell. Taking all the songs together, adding in the life he led, the person he was, the people he knew, loved and sang about, it seemed to me that there was another story here. It’s almost a mythic American tale —of growing up in simple, dirt-poor surroundings in the heartland of America,

2016 Legislature, politics over policy

Attendance was a little light at church this past Sunday due to the 10 a.m. start time of the Seahawks game. But since the 2016 legislative session also convened this week, I hope church attendance increases as it may take divine intervention to actually get anything of significance accomplished in the short 60 day session. While there is much talk of cooperation, the reality is that politics will hold sway over policy. This is an election year with all members of the state House of Representatives, half the state Senate and all statewide offices, including the governor’s office, on the ballot. Power, who has it, who wants it and who holds it next December will determine every movement on every issue. The numbers in each chamber are so close that the loss of even one seat could be critical to each party’s goal of legislative control. Both sides will introduce legislation to advance their policy agenda but also try to build

a negative voting record for the opposition that will surface later this year in mailing brochures and television commercials. Republicans will introduce conservative bills and Democrats will introduce progressive ones. But nothing will pass that makes the other side look good. Legislators and special interest groups have been refining their talking points to the media in preparation for the session. You may have noticed an emphasis on funding for fire services in reaction to last summer’s fires in eastern Washington. Funding may be needed, but it is also being used as a “stalking horse” to shift the public dialog away from education. The same is true of the heightened visibility of funding for charter schools. Although that serves two purposes. Charter schools were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because they are not “common” schools and Bob Roegner

’ve never seen a busier newsroom than the one at the Federal Way Mirror. During my first day as editor more than two years ago, then-Deputy Chief Andy Hwang stopped in to welcome me to the community, followed by a halfdozen other residents. I learned to keep my office door open early on, as several “regulars” often stopped by to share inside information on the latest happenings in Federal Way. When they weren’t visiting, someone from the Kiwanis Club, the Lion’s Club, the Women’s Club of Federal Way, Reach Out, FUSION, the Farmers Market, the Historical Society of Federal Way or any number of nonprofit organizations would come by to share information about their nonprofits and invite me to their meetings. Then there were the people who stopped by to question me over a controversial story or vented about their wet newspaper. During one political season, a group of supporters for a particular candidate were so impassioned that they marched into the office and demanded to speak with me on the spot as we were trying to send the Mirror off to press. Since I’ve worked at the Mirror, this level of community engagement has remained consistent. And if I’ve learned one thing about Federal Way, it’s that the people here are truly passionate. As I leave the Mirror this week to take on a new position as regional editor for other Sound Publishing newspapers on the Eastside, I’d like to thank all of you who have taken your time to visit me, call me, write letters to the editor and invite me into your workplaces and homes to share your stories and your lives. Thank you to my Mirror family who I’ve worked very late nights with and talked politics

Housing developments will sap police resources

I have lived in Federal Way since 1979. I’m seeing a lot of new, high density, low-income housing developments. This issue drove residents to band together and create city-hood back in the day. Already these developments are having a major impact on our schools and police. Apparently, our city government and school board officials are just innocent bystanders looking the other way ignoring what is a viable mix of socio-economic groups needed to make a vibrant city. Yet the city council is vigorously pursuing a Performing Arts and Event Center, or more likely a future homeless shelter, without a lot of public support. The reality is, families with resources are not going to locate to Federal Way and

subject their children to our schools and yet these are the very people the city needs to attract to make the event center (and city) viable and vibrant. I am very concerned that these housing developments will sap the resources of our excellent police force and force homeowners into spending more money to bolster a beleaguered force at the same time the city drains the public treasury on a boondoggle. Why can’t our public officials do something positive, like developing/permitting luxury high rises around the old Target site, across the street from express transit service to downtown Seattle? I think a lot of homeowners are of the opinion “lets get outta Dodge while the getting’s good.”

Dennis Pollard, Federal

Way

Anti-gun backers miss the mark When anyone dies unexpectedly, it is a tragedy and the younger the person the more tragic. A recent letter in the Mirror refers to the December 2012 Sandy Hook shootings, the murder of 20 children and that “something” must be done about guns and the supposedly the “evil” NRA, ignoring the fact that there are millions of responsible gun owners and that the NRA constantly promotes gun safety and responsibility. According to the Mothers Against Drunk Driving website, in the following year 2013, “a total of 1,149 children 14 and younger were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Of those

1,149 fatalities, 200 (17 percent) occurred in alcoholimpaired driving crashes. Out of those 200 deaths, 121 (61 percent) were occupants of vehicles with drivers who had blood alcohol content’s of .08 or higher and another 29 children (15 percent) were pedestrians or pedal cyclists struck by drivers with blood alcohol content’s of .08 or higher”. I wonder if Ms. Hedwig Backman, who recently ranted about guns, feels the government should do something about the excessive deaths of children by drunk drivers, or in fact the overall death total of 1,149. Perhaps the government should “do something” and all responsible car owners should have their vehicles confiscated because there is the potential for them to drive drunk.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Newspapers 101 and requirements for new editor Q

: Mr. Federal Way, why can’t newspaper articles be complete in one place? Why do they have to be broken up so a reader has to flip back and forth through the paper? I wind up missing things that way. I do like the size of your paper, other regular papers are too big – try reading one on the bus with a passenger squashed up next to you! A: Full disclosure, Publisher Rudi Alcott received this hand-written letter but doesn’t have the time to explain Newspapers 101 to little old ladies. Unfortunately, Mr. Federal Way does. Ma’am, the broken up stories you so eloquently refer to are called story jumps or jump lines. Sometimes ads take up space on a page, which prevent the story from running on one page. Mr. Federal Way could do away with the ads but apparently they pay for basic newsroom perks, like salaries or whatever. Other reasons for jumps? Style. Would you read a newspaper that had one

story with one photo on the cover? Come on, lady. Where’s your artistic eye? Jumps also cause the reader to flip through the newspaper, which you seem to find annoying, but people who create the paper tell Mr. Federal Way it helps draw readers deep into a product they each spend 40 hours a week making week after week. So, while readers are taking the bus, squished next to a undesirable person, they can learn a little bit about their community and be a little bit more connected. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I loved your article today. Usually I don’t like it because it’s so “sanitized.” I like the “unsanitized” much better. It is to the point and clear. Please continue writing this way. We don’t need anymore “sugar coating” of the facts. A: As Mr. Federal Way mentioned before, editor

Carrie Rodriguez has gone over to the darkside, a place far, far away in the land of serial Nordstrom shoppers, only accessible through a hell not even Mr. Federal Way would wish on Mayor Jim Ferrell – Interstate 405. It’s a place called Bellevue. And with Rodriguez gone, Mr. Federal Way doesn’t have to worry about silly things that journalists go to college for. What’s media law? Either way, Mr. Federal Way has a list of requirements for the new Federal Way Mirror editor, whenever Alcott decides to stop worrying about the budget and hire somebody already. • The new editor must always, always bring pizza for the newsroom on Thursdays. No questions asked. • He or she must limit columnist Bob Roegner’s 100,000-word columns to an appropriate length. Mr. Federal Way needs coffee before he’ll even pick up

those doozies. • The new editor should coerce Mrs. Federal Way into writing more columns. It would give Mr. Federal Way a chance to catch up on approving friend requests on Facebook. • Aside from being a top-notch investigative and passionate individual, the new editor should commit to smaller stories that make this newspaper a community newspaper. • The new editor needs to be attractive, but not so attractive that it makes the rest of the newsroom look ugly. • The new editor must recognize how hilarious Chief Joy Facilitator Jennifer Anderson is. (But not funnier than Mr. Federal Way.) • As part of their hazing, one requirement of the new editor will be to sell coupons to the rash amount of couponers the Mirror has for two Fridays in a row all. day. long. Also, he or she must deal with the maryjanes who come to the newsroom looking for marijuana.

• He or she should know the difference between a touchdown and a home run or have blind faith in sports reporter Terrence Hill’s ability to. • If female, the new editor must be open to the idea of joining sales representative Kay Miller’s Fairly Fit Female cult, err, Mr. Federal Way means “extremely successful healthy lifestyle group that has helped many.” • The new editor must know CPR and have a firstaid card in case of an emergency. Mr. Federal Way isn’t sure how quickly the fire department would get here based on past reporting. • The new editor should attend the hundreds of community events sales representative Cindy Ducich volunteers at. • To align with the Mirror’s and reporter Raechel Dawson’s new diversity section, the new editor should break the status quo and be an active member of all facets of this diverse community. • He or she should respond to every letter, email

and complaint that comes regarding moist Mirrors. It’s an epidemic. Bonus points if he or she comes with a solution to Washington’s precipitation problem. • The new editor should have a great sense of humor, so much that he or she isn’t afraid to tease Alcott when he falls off a ladder and gets a boo boo on his head. • The new editor needs to be smart enough to recognize the value of our most senior member in experience, not in age, Marcie Shannon. • And, last but not least, the new editor needs to have a spouse, sugga daddy or sugga momma to support them financially. Unless, of course, the editor will make more money than Mr. Federal Way. Q: Mr. Federal Way, are you mad that Alcott didn’t promote you to the new editor position? A: None of your business.

therefore not eligible for public funding. By raising the dialog on charter schools it also gives some legislators the avenue to reopen its critical comments about the Supreme Court and finding the Legislature in contempt in 2012 for not fully funding basic education. Telling the Supreme Court to “mind its own business” might make a good election year headline in a legislator’s hometown newspaper, but it is neither a thoughtful nor prudent move in the long run. The fines for non-compliance levied by the court against the Legislature on basic education are almost $15 million. At $100,000 per day the fine levied by the court is going to look like real money a year from now. So far the only agreement on education has been that 2017 looks like a good time to make a decision. That gets the controversial issue past this election cycle year, and there won’t be any of that silly accountability stuff the public expects until the 2018 elections. The other talking point making the rounds is suggesting that funding for

[ LETTERS from page 4 ]

www.federalwaymirror.com schools can be solved by a redistribution formula because some districts pay their teachers more than other districts. There are districts that pay their teachers more than ours are paid in Federal Way. However, that would require an “equalization” and any plan that has some districts benefiting from other districts’ loss isn’t going to be well received. Each district has its own elected school board that responds to education needs within the community. Although “full funding” has different meanings to different people, the redistribution idea needs “all winners” to be taken seriously. But it works as another way to put off the decision until next year while the legislature “gathers data.” Democrats are trying to keep the discussion from straying to side issues and staying focused on full funding for education. They do not want full funding of education to come at the expense of other programs that they believe are underfunded. They would be willing to support a discussion around revenue options, but not this year. Republicans will only support a solution that does not increase taxes. They would like to see budget cuts elsewhere. But the

umn took issue with President Obama’s repeated claims that high-profile shootings do not happen with the same frequency in other countries. For instance, at a June 19 speech before the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Obama claimed, “We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months.” However, the Post turned to research examining the rate of deaths resulting from mass shootings in 11 countries, conducted by State University of New York-Oswego public justice professor Jaclyn Schildkraut and Texas State University’s H. Jaymi Elsass. The Post points out, “The United States had a lower rate of mass shooting fatalities per 100,000 people than Norway, Finland and Switzerland.”

amount of money needed to solve the problem likely can’t be reached solely through budget cuts. Budget cuts now, will likely show up as a problem later and the public will be upset about a problem that could have been controlled by the appropriate funding amount in the first place. As an example, mental health is an area that needs additional funding. Some of these ideas are being pushed to appeal to each party’s political base. Increased turnout in the fall election can be helped by whose issue is pushed now. Also, you can count on several initiatives qualifying for the ballot that will appeal to the special interest groups and increase the voter turnout. Minimum wage may make the ballot. Watch for Democrats to bring up global warming and gun control. Not only do those issues appeal to their base, but new polling shows shifting public opinion among independents who want something done on those topics as well. That’s why national democrats have tried to make both issues part of the debate. You can expect a significant amount of legislation, with no chance of passing,

to be introduced by legislators up for reelection. Current statewide office holders have been appearing on the news lately along with several legislators running for higher office. Face time on the evening news everyday will guide each day’s events. Gov. Jay Inslee will take some hits on the prisoner release controversy, but he has control of the issue and can wait until the right time to release his review. Handled correctly, he can neutralize the issue. There will also be calls for the impeachment of State Auditor Troy Kelley. That will make good press but won’t happen, as there is nothing to act on until his trial is over. While there has been much talk about cooperation, the only goal both sides really agree on is to try and adjourn a day or two before the 60 day deadline. And you can do your part. Go watch the legislature in action. Or better yet, don’t skip church for next week’s game. The Legislature could use your prayers.

The murderers in Paris where guns are not allowed still had plenty of weapons to carry out the carnage, both in the January and November terrorist attacks. The criminals weren’t concerned about the law. What the government should do is uphold existing laws and prosecute to the maximum those involved in gun crimes. However, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University (which tracks information about federal enforcement, staffing and spending), the Obama Justice Department has actually been prosecuting fewer gun crimes, down 15.5 percent in the last five years. Why do you suppose that is? Regrettably, there will always be evil people with evil intent. Fortunately, there are far more honest, responsible and respectful citizens and they should not be lumped together for the sake of “doing something.” If I’m ever in a dangerous situation, I hope there are plenty of those NRA-concealed

carry members right next to me.

Yes vote on technology levy a nobrainer Please join us in supporting the technology levy that Federal Way Public Schools has proposed to enhance the education of the students in Federal Way. This is not a tax increase; it is a replacement levy at exactly the same level as the one it replaces. It is not a luxury, as the students of today need a sound basis in computer science in order to obtain the jobs of tomorrow. Excellent schools enhance property values and the quality of life for us all. This is simply a “nobrainer”— please vote yes!

SCHOOL BOARD APPROVES 8 EARLY RELEASE DAYS

The Federal Way school board recently approved the new model for collaborative time for teachers to meet. The model includes eight, 90-minute student early release days, eliminating the four, three-hour late starts previously scheduled. This means all students will be released 90 minutes early on the following dates: Feb. 24, March 16, March 30, April 13, April 27, May 11, May 25 and June 1.

We can stop this and make a difference.” Venzke said churches and high schools are showing the film, which was awarded “Best Feature” in October at the 2015 La Femme International Film Festival in Los Angeles, Calif. All of the proceeds from the novel and movie will be donated to the nonprofit Trafficking Hope, an antitrafficking organization Venzke used to work for. Venzke was the copywriter for the organization’s website, which was launched in 2007. “It was really, for me at the time, the only organization I knew of,” she said of the Louisiana-based nonprofit. “I remotely worked for them and did all kinds of stuff as a writer.” It was then, as she started doing research on sex trafficking in the United States, that it opened her eyes to how prevalent human trafficking is. “I would write stories for the girls when they would rescue somebody,” she said. “It broke my heart and I wanted to be more involved.” According to The A21 Campaign, only 1-2 percent of sex trafficking victims are rescued. Living and working in the South King County area, Venzke has also heard local stories.

He also appointed board member Claudia Balducci, whose current term expires in 2017, to a new four-year term that expires on Dec. 31, 2019. Ten of the 18 seats on the Sound Transit Board are assigned to King County on the basis of population. State law sets specific requirements for the distri-

bution of appointments – among them the inclusion of an elected official from the largest city within each county, and proportional representation from other areas within the boundaries of Sound Transit. To promote integration of regional and local transit services, state law also requires that at least half

of appointees from each county also serve on the governing authority of a local public transportation system. The Metropolitan King County Council must confirm the executive’s appointees. The first Sound Transit board meeting of the new year is set for Jan. 28.

She was active in her church’s women’s auxiliary, PTA and PEO. Lucile loved family and family get-togethers. She loved to decorate for every holiday. She hosted Christmas Eve with a sit-down dinner for 20-30 family members held in her heated garage, since that was the only room large enough. The menu was traditional: lasagna and oyster stew. She invented King Kamehameha Day with Hawaiian shirts, leis, BBQ and hand-cranked ice cream to have an excuse for a summer party. After Paul’s untimely death in 1977, she married her widowed neighbor, Thomas Mahoney, in 1983. Tom also had 6 children with 5 boys and 1 girl, then 5 grandchildren. Together she and Tom explored the USA flying his Mooney airplane to visit family and friends. After Tom’s death in 1997, she married widower Cory Gunderson in 2000 who was an unknown neighbor until they met to attend their 60th Missoula High School Reunion. Cory’s children were also 5 boys and 1 girl with 10 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Together they enjoyed traveling throughout the USA, the Holy Land and France as well as many cruises to the Caribbean, Hawaii, Norway and Alaska. Preceding Lucile in death are all 3 of her husbands, all siblings except David, her parents and grandson, Paul Shelton IV. Lucile was a very strong, willful, smart, fun loving, creative and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend. She has left a large void in the lives of all who knew and loved her. Her memorial service will be held on January 16, 2016 at time 11 am at Steel Lake Presbyterian Church at 1829 S 308th St., Federal Way, WA. There will be a gathering of family and friends downstairs in the Fellowship Hall immediately after the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to go to Lucile’s favorite charities of Steel Lake Presbyterian Church or World Vision.

Verbal fisticuffs erupt over how to deal with climate change

of campaigning to educate voters on their measure to tax carbon emissions from gasoline, natural gas and fossil fuels. It also would lower the state’s retail sales tax, trim the business and occupation tax and give low-income families a tax rebate. The claim is it will be “revenue neutral” for state coffers. There’s going to be opposition. But the loudest opponents may not be in the ranks of climate change deniers but among those in a coalition of environmental, labor and progressive groups. Leaders of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, with a 30-person steering committee and roughly 150 groups as members, had been trying for months

to get I-732 supporters to stand down and join them with a different approach they think will fare better with voters. That approach would involve capping emissions, collecting a fee from emitters and spreading that dough around to clean energy and communitybuilding projects. CarbonWA supporters decided not to join them partly because their offering had not been fully refined. “Our approach was to come with a great policy and bring people together to support it,” he said. “Their approach has been to bring a bunch a people around the table and come up with a policy they can all

agree upon. And they are finding that to be challenging.” The alliance brain trust is now debating — and polling — their options. Three stand out: Do nothing, craft a measure to complement I-732 or push ahead with a competing measure. Not going forward is an absolute possibility, if there is no clear and surmountable path to winning, alliance members said. When voters are faced with competing items on a ballot they tend to turn both down. Alliance members are frustrated I-732 forces don’t see the potential damage to their cause in losing as much as they do. If the alliance proceeds, its members would need to spend as much time talking

up their proposition as they have been talking down I-732. That won’t be hard, as they’ve been lobbing verbal jabs for awhile. And this week, they latched onto a state Department of Revenue analysis they claim shows the initiative won’t be “revenue neutral” but actually cause the state to lose money over time. Adam Glickman, secretary-treasurer of Service Employees International Union Local 775 and an alliance steering committee member, called it a “poorly written” and “deeply flawed” initiative that will drain valuable dollars from the state treasury without forcing major polluters to reduce carbon emissions. “Big Oil is dancing in the streets over this,” he said.

the moment he realized he didn’t have to live the way he had been living. “I didn’t have to be miserable, I didn’t have to hate my job, and I didn’t have to struggle every day to get through,” he said. Treat encourages readers to join him for

the next 30 days on this journey to find answers to questions and hope to doubts. His book states God wants to move readers forward and to lift them up in every realm. Each day, Treat’s book looks at what the Lord says about readers, how to make it practical and powerful and how to see real change in life. Treat said when, “you can be the person he designed you to be and love yourself as he does, you’ll be on your way.” In 30 days, readers can start a new habit and move to a new place in destiny. Published by Winters Publishing Group, the book is available through bookstores nationwide or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com. Treat is the founder and senior pastor of Christian Faith Center, a multi-cam-

not-so-funny thing happened on the long march to save Washington from the damaging undulations of climate change. A fight broke out among the warriors. A little jawboning in the summer escalated this week with a flurry of verbal punches directed at the campaign to create a carbon tax with Initiative 732, as its leaders turned in the last of 350,000 signatures gathered in support of the measure. “It’s the culmination of a long journey this year and the start of a new journey next year,” said Yoram Bauman, co-founder of Carbon Washington, the group behind I-732. “We’re super excited about what comes next.” That’s going to be months

Sound Vascular and Vein enters tattoo removal market BY ANDREW FICKES For the Mirror

attoos – with all their complexity, color and size – can often appear on the human body like works of art. But for about 25 percent of the American population, the thought of living with a tattoo for a lifetime is undesirable. Sound Tattoo Removal, a division of Sound Vascular and Vein in Federal Way, is now giving people with tattoos the power to get rid of them, utilizing Cutera Enlighten, a new dual wavelength and dual pulse duration laser technology. “We acquired the machine in July,” said Tim Lehan, clinical manager at Sound Vascular and Vein. “We saw the technology at a seminar in Seattle last March. And that was enough for us. It came down to securing the capital funds to purchase.” Sound Tattoo Removal, with locations in Federal Way and Bellingham, is the

Assured Home Health among nation’s top 500 ‘HomeCare Elite’

only tattoo removal option using this laser technology along the I-5 corridor in Washington state. “You can find cheaper, but not better,” Lehan said. Those who desire to shed themselves of their tattoo or tattoos are welcome to contact Patty Huesers, Sound Tattoo Removal’s master aesthetician, for a free consultation. Huesers will take a look at the tattoo or tattoos and with the client, come up with a treatment plan. “My happy place for people would be four treatments,” Huesers explained. Compared to older laser technology still in use by competitors in the industry, Huesers and Lehan said the laser’s precision and speed and the ability to gauge the depth and penetration of the laser into the skin allows clients to say goodbye to their tattoo in 40-50 percent less treatments. “You can arrive at a better result,” Huesers said. “Being in a vascular clinic with our

doctors, we can offer the best comfort.” Each treatment, which in some cases takes as little as several minutes, is performed by Huesers and is supported by a team of licensed medical doctors under the supervision of Dr. Peter Gregory. Huesers said doctors do an injection of lidocaine into the skin to numb the affected area before treatment begins. Doctors also help with postcare following treatment. “We encourage clients to buy in treatment packages,” Lehan said. Lehan said if a client purchases a package of six treatments, for example, but it’s found that a seventh treatment is needed, then the client will not be charged for that additional treatment. “We’re about patient comfort and result oriented,” Lehan said.

They will be joined by schools from the Kent School District (Kentlake, Kent-Meridian, Kentridge and Kentwood), the Auburn School District (Auburn, Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview), Tahoma, Kennedy Catholic, Hazen, Mount Rainier and Enumclaw. The NPSL has been dormant since 1990. The league will be a 4A league and 12 of the 16 members are opting up for the 2016-20 classification period.

Local wrestlers compete in Japanese Cultural Exchange event BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

ins and losses are usually most important to those participating and watching sporting events. Wins and losses took a backseat to the love of wrestling at the Japanese Cultural Exchange meet held at Curtis Junior High School on Monday. The Japanese Under-18 national wrestling team faced off against some of the best wrestlers the South Puget Sound League has to offer. Three of the competitors hailed from Federal Way high schools. The Japanese team consists of some of the highest ranked wrestlers in Japan and at least one world champion. Since 1964, Japan has had its national team travel the West Coast of the United States, facing high school teams in events like the one at Curtis. The Japanese team had already been busy the past week. The team wrestled at Royal High School on Wednesday and won the Gut Check Tournament at the Kitsap Pavilion during the

Six of the team’s wrestlers won individual titles at the Gut Check Tournament. All but one of the wrestlers placed in the top eight of their weight class. On Monday, competitors from Curtis, Kentridge, Kent-Meridian, Kentwood, Orting, Tahoma, Enumclaw, Washington, White River, Decatur and Todd Beamer high schools competed against the Japanese team.

Prior to the matches, gifts were exchanged between the wrestlers, team leaders and coaches. The wrestling matches were contested under freestyle rules instead of the usual folkstyle wrestling seen in high schools and middle schools in the United States. Freestyle wrestling is usually the more action-packed version of the two. Once the action began, the Japanese team was

dominant. Decatur’s Leviticus Arizpe was the first of the three wrestlers from Federal Way to wrestle. He is currently one of the favorites to win the state title in his weight class. His match was the seventh of the night. The SPSL allstar team had not registered a point in any of the matches prior to his. Arizpe faced off against Yamato Ui. Both wrestlers

Ui scored eight points, but Arizpe’s defense was too good for Ui to finish the match. The wrestlers restarted in a standing position and Arizpe capitalized with a quick maneuver and takedown to become the first SPSL wrestler to score in a match. Ui was able to counter shortly after the takedown and finished the match with a couple of gut wrench rolls for the 12-2 victory. Arizpe would celebrate being the first SPSL wrestler to score by exclaiming, “two!”, while holding up two fingers as he left the mat, bringing the sizable crowd to cheers and laughter. Todd Beamer’s Sean Van Earwage wrestled in the second-to-last of the 14 matches. He took on Tsuyoshi Nakamura at 145 pounds.

Federal Way conquers Kentwood BY TERRENCE HILL

thill@fedwaymirror.com

ot even South Puget Sound League Northeast leading Kentwood could put a dent in Federal Way’s undefeated record as the Eagles rolled to a 78-62 victory on Tuesday night. The Conquerors came into the game with an 11-2 record and a one game lead over KentMeridian in the SPSL Northeast. Jalen McDaniels scored early and often for the Eagles as they built their lead. By the end of the first quarter, the senior already had 13 points as the Eagles led 20-14. “We recognized tonight that they just couldn’t stop Jalen,” Federal Way head coach Jerome Collins said. “They had no answer for him. We ran some set plays and guys did a good job getting him the ball in the proper places and he finished.” McDaniels had 19 points at the half and finished with 32. Federal Way would take a 36-29 lead into the half. Despite having a comfortable lead, not everything was going the Eagles way. They were 0-9 from

3-point range in the first half. “We didn’t shoot particularly well,” Collins said. “Yet we were still in control.” Federal Way pushed their lead to 13 points midway through the third quarter, but the Conquerors fought back. Kentwood went on a 14-4 run late in the third to cut the Federal Way lead to three points. Kentwood focused on getting into the lane during the run. Darius LuBom scored nine of his 23 points during the run, which he capped off with a three-point play by converting his layup as he was fouled driving to the basket. “I thought we did a pretty good job of executing up until that point,” Collins said. “They’re a good team and there’s going to be some runs in a game. I called timeout and settled our guys down. We clamped down and stopped the layup drills.” The Eagles would regain momentum going into the fourth quarter with a steal by McDaniels that led to him finishing the quarter with a dunk. Federal Way’s defense clamped down at the start

of the fourth quarter and the team went on a 13-3 run. LuBom would end the Kentwood scoring drought with another three-point play, but D’Jimon Jones responded with a three-pointer. It was the only three-pointer the Eagles made as they went 1-12 from beyond the arc. Ferron Flavors was second in scoring for the Eagles with 13 points. Christian Jones was third with 11. Rayvaugh Bolton and Davonte Sanchez each had 13 for Kentwood. Federal Way (14-0, 4-0)

returns to league play against Todd Beamer (114, 3-1) at 7 p.m. tonight at Federal Way High School. The Eagles previously defeated the Titans 72-65 on Dec. 8. “We’ve had a tough schedule,” said Collins. “Out of our first 10 games, eight of them were on the road. We’ve prepared ourselves. We’re in conference play now and it’s always a challenge because the SPSL is what it is. We just have to stay focused, work hard and continue to improve. I’m not satisfied with where we are. I’m a perfectionist.”

The improvement to the other Federal Way schools may not yet have translated to the numbers in the win column, but when you take a deeper look at the numbers, you can see other signs of improvement. Instead of constant 5-0 losses to the non-Federal Way schools, they are starting to get some points against top programs like Bethel and Graham-Kapowsin. Decatur head coach Kathryn Graham said that her

game against Bethel. While their scores would have put a scare into most teams in the league that day, Bethel just happened to bowl around a 900 as a team. While Federal Way, Decatur and Todd Beamer have slim chances of sending their entire team to the district tournament, they will have an opportunity to send some of their top bowlers there. “I’m hoping at the SPSL tournament next week we can send somebody to districts,” Federal Way head coach Joe Haworth said. “We did that last year with Caroline Vadino, so we’re hoping her or one of my other varsity girls can have a great day

www.federalwaymirror.com and can move on to districts to keep bowling.” Both Federal Way and Beamer are senior-laden squads. “We’re going to lose six seniors and I’m coaching my last few matches here,” said Beamer head coach Stacy Stewart. “Next year they’re going to be doing a little rebuilding, but there is talent there.” Between the players, coaches and numerous family members in attendance, it’s hard to find someone without a smile on their face at the games. Secoma Lanes owner, Mike Martin has also noticed of the growth of the programs in their short time

there. “I think the first year they might have had about 25 girls between the three schools,” Martin said. “You can see it today, there’s around 80 girls involved now. No matter what their ability is, they can participate. It’s a really great program.” Bowling is not a sport that garners many headlines, but that does not slow down just how competitive the girls who participate are. The teams quickly moved on from having the sport as just something to do to something they were ready to win at. “I tell the girls that from the beginning that it’s a sport that people go out and have fun playing with their friends on the weekends,” Townsend said. “But there’s more to this game. There’s scholarships to be had that people don’t even know about. It’s a game where

Nakamura finally scored near the halfway mark of the first round, but he could not control Van Earwage for long. The two battled back and forth for two rounds. Nakamura would take the match 6-0 after the two would go the full two rounds. After the match, Nakamura raised Van Earwage’s hand as a show of respect. They were the only two wrestlers to go the full time limit. The final match also featured another Ti-

He was aggressive to start the match, almost immediately going for a takedown. It worked as he took a brief 2-0 lead, the only SPSL wrestler to lead in a match at the event. The rest of the match was all Matuyuki as he would go on to win 12-2, completing the sweep for the Japanese team.

Creating Future ready StudentS: engaged today, ready For tomorrow Our community has supported technology funding for schools since 2004. Renewing the existing levy won't change tax collections. This is a renewal of the current tech levy expiring this year and continues to integrate technology in the classroom by providing: • Equitable access to technology, tools and devices that enhance student learning • Support and training for teachers in using current technology to provide relevant and personalized learning experiences for each student

Local funding for technology is essential. • $4.4 million collected each of the next six years • Tax collections for the tech levy remain constant.

successful so they can broker the culture of schools.” To promote the positive educational environment, Campbell committed herself to visiting classrooms, meeting with families and partnering with the board to establish the “Good News” announcements during board meetings to “celebrate the success of students and staff.” Critical issues did not go ignored as Campbell reviewed department project plans for critical work in the 2015-16 school year, which included analyzing the budget and making adjustments in response to feedback. “One thing we did right away is we launched the English Language Arts adoption because so many people said we did not have reading and writing curriculum,” she said. “That was so overwhelming that we knew we needed to act on that right away so our student scholars had the instruction they needed.” During her 100 days, Campbell received a lot of feedback from families and staff. “When I asked [what’s working well] of families and the community, most of them talked about this overwhelming posi-

The pack has fixed up the Chalet, had windows donated, fixed the deck, cleared brush, pressure washed and re-painted parts of the camp and had several truckloads of gravel donated from Miles Sand and Gravel for the Pinewood Derby. They’ve also fixed the archery range, donated BB guns and built 24 benches for the camp. “It’s teaching them to work together,” Shailyn Drazkowski said. “I really believe in seeing the reaction of the scouts taking pride in their work and community, fixing it up. So many are so upset finding out that it’ll close.” Jerome Drazkowski said he also uses the camp’s features as a

selling point for membership. “One of my best tools I use for recruiting is Camp Kilworth,” he said. “What gets the kids so excited is knowing they have a camp right here.” He said, since he first started recruiting, he’s grown the pack upwards of 40 kids with it consistently between 30-40. And Bergman points out that the camp is used more than a week over the summer and a couple of scattered weekends. “A lot of people on the board or council don’t know much about the camp and don’t understand the value of the camp itself,” Bergman said. “They also repeatedly claim under-use but that’s not the case. The camp does get used.” But Voelker said there’s about 340 Cub Scouts in the Federal

Way area and less than half use the day camp at Camp Kilworth, which is down 15 percent from last year. “That area is a big loss of membership and it’s translated into a lack of user-ship at the camp,” he said. “There’s more people signed up for the petition than Cub Scouts signed up in the district.” Voelker said it’s nice to know that people care, which can be read on the petition’s many comments, but the only way the camp would have a chance at staying open is through a major donation of some sort. Voelker acknowledged the 2025 volunteers who donated time on the camp’s maintenance, and the 200-300 people who attended the Comcast Cares days, which “made a huge difference,” but he “wishes there was three times as

While the Pacific Harbors Council will not sell Camp Kilworth because of a longtime deed requirement that the property must be used for scouting purposes, closing the camp, and therefore doing away with maintenance obligations, will save the council thousands of dollars.

laborating with teachers to assess that. “When my kids went to school here, they were truly the minority and today it’s really a much more diverse population,” Eto said. “So if we had a system, if we change this to minting coins, we had a system that was all set up for brass and now we have aluminum, tin, silver, gold, the process has to change. So, before it was OK with just a predominant type of student coming through to get a particular outcome and that’s not working anymore.” Board President Geoffery McAnalloy said it was hard to believe it had been nine months since Campbell was chosen to be the new superintendent. “I have to commend you to the work that’s been done,” he said. “I have to commend you to the dedication and commitment to all levels of this organization from the student up. The students are at the top, really, so student down, I think. Because we have to hold them up.

Man brandishes weapon at family member CRIME

This week’s…

ALERT

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Store robbed by two men: Between 3 and 4 p.m. on Jan. 10 in the 31000 block of Pacific Highway South, police responded to a report of a robbery. An employee stated that two men worked together to steal cigarettes from the store. When they entered the store, one male began talking on his phone. The employee told him to do it outside and the suspect began berating him. The other suspect concealed beer at this point. The employee took the beer back and started making a pizza. The first suspect then reached over the counter and took cigarettes. When the employee tried to stop them, they pushed him and threw the store’s mobile phone at him. One of the suspects also stole sandwiches from the refrigerator. They left on foot in an unknown direction. A K9 track was unsuccessful. The employee told police he would provide them with surveillance footage when the manager came in. Man dies after overdosing: At 2:10 a.m. on Jan. 8 in the 28700 block of 18th Ave. S., police responded to a call about an unresponsive male who had possibly overdosed. After further investigation, officers found that the victim had died from apparent drug use.

Fence vandalized: At 10:59 a.m. on Jan. 8 in the 100 block of S. 361st Place, during the night, an unknown suspect spray painted a cedar fence. The owner of the fence could not make out the symbol or word that was painted in white. There are no leads at this time. The damages were estimated at $100. Duo steals mail: At 1:22 p.m. on Jan. 8 in the 31300 block of 39th Court SW, a victim reported that an unknown female who was the passenger in a car with an unknown male stole two items of mail from her. The mail included a personal check for $100. The suspects fled the scene to an unknown location. The victim believed that the suspects cased her mailbox earlier in the day. The check was later canceled by the victim. Student threatens shooting: At 1:59 p.m. on Jan. 8 in the 33900 block of 19th Ave. SW, police were dispatched to Saghalie Middle School for a suspicious text message a student received earlier in the day. The student stated she got a message from a juvenile male saying that there was going to be a shooting at Pattison’s West later that day. School staff searched the male and found no firearm on him. He was issued a permanent trespass from Pattison’s West. Brother assaults sister: At 3:00 p.m. on Jan. 8 in the 100 block of S. 331st Place, a female reported that she and her brother were involved in a dispute. The brother punched the victim in her head and her back. There were no visible injuries to the victim, but she complained of pain as she

is on medication for numerous medical conditions. The suspect was not at the house upon police arrival, but returned at a later time and was arrested. Home burglarized: At 4:19 p.m. on Jan. 8 in the 33300 block of 10th Court SW, a man called police to report that his home had been burglarized. The suspect gained entrance by breaking the glass on the back sliding door of his home. Nearly $4,000 worth of jewelry, shoes, cologne and electronics were stolen. There is no suspect information at this time. Man assaults family member: At 9:08 p.m. on Jan. 8 in the 29000 block of 28th Place S., police responded to a report of an assault. Police determined that the suspect, who was the cousin of one of the victims, assaulted her by punching her repeatedly. He also destroyed a television belonging to the other victim. The assault took place in front of 3-year-old and a 6-year-old cousins of the suspect. The suspect was located and arrested. Man brandishes weapon at family member: At 7:22 a.m. on Jan. 7 in the 35700 block of 16th Ave. S., a man threatened a family member and displayed a handgun. The man was located by Kent police and arrested. He was booked into SCORE jail. His vehicle was impounded for processing. Around 4:24 p.m. that same day, a witness to this incident was threatened by another witness. The suspect told the victim she would kill the victim and her kids via text message. The victim stated she was in fear for her and her kids’ lives. The suspect was not located.

Student arrested for drugs: At 12:52 p.m. on Jan. 7 at Todd Beamer High School, an officer was working at the school when he saw three males near 359th and 16th Ave. S., near Todd Beamer High School. As he approached them, the three males ran away. One male was caught by the officer. He was a Todd Beamer student who was skipping class. The student was taken back to school. He was searched by school officials and a prescription pill bottle of marijuana was found. He was arrested. Suspected drug dealer arrested: At 5:43 p.m. on Jan. 7 in the 28700 block of Military Road South, an officer was conducting a traffic stop on a vehicle for switched plates. The driver did not have ID but provided the officer with his name. He had a warrant out for driving with a suspended license. A pistol was recovered from his shoulder holster. The officer also found heroin, meth, pills and other drug paraphernalia in the vehicle. The suspect was also carrying $2,444. He was arrested and processed at the station. Women caught stealing: At 10:18 p.m. on Jan. 7 at the Commons Mall, two women conspired to steal approximately $1,600 from the Macy’s store. One of the suspects had a previous trespass from the mall stemming from another theft case at the Kohl’s store. Both women were arrested. Man assaults mother with water jug: At 10:36 a.m. on Jan. 6 in the 30900 block of 1st Avenue South, police responded to a report of an assault. When they arrived, an elderly woman told them she had been assaulted

by her son. She told police that the son had thrown a full, gallonsized water jug at her foot, which caused bruising. The son denied this allegation. Police arrested the son. They found that there had been three previous domestic violence events at that address since 2012. Stolen items found at homeless camp: At 11:59 a.m. on Jan. 6 in the 2400 block of S. 315th Lane, a victim called to update a report from a burglary that took place between Jan. 3 and 4. The victim told the manager of the apartments about the burglar breaking in through her sliding door, but the manager reported it as vandalism. The victim told police about the discrepancy and a new report was created. An area check of a nearby homeless camp resulted in police finding some items that belonged to the woman. The items were returned to the victim. Man collapses after assault: At 3:41 a.m. on Jan. 5 in the 31000 block of Pacific Highway S., an officer responded to the 7-11 store in the area to a report of an assault. The employee stated the victim walked into the store and collapsed. Police talked to the victim in the store as he lay on the ground. The victim had a wound on the back of his head and the side of his face. The victim could not remember what happened and was taken to St. Francis Hospital by ambulance. The victim declined to sign a medical release and declined to provide a statement. There were no witnesses or suspects at the time of the report. No surveillance was available. The case was closed pending further leads. Man involuntarily committed: At 11:16 p.m. on Jan. 5 in the 31800 block of Pacific High-

way S., a man was found lying on the ground in a parking lot. He was able to stand, but could not speak. He walked to the side of the building and attempted to sit on a blanket/sleeping bag, but fell onto his side. He rolled onto his back and stared straight up, seemingly unable to speak. He appeared to have urinated in his pants. He was involuntarily committed. Boyfriend assaults girlfriend: At 12:25 a.m. on Jan. 4 in the 1800 block of SW 308th Place, a woman reported that while arguing with her boyfriend, he became very angry and hit her on the left side of her face. Police found visible injuries on her. She had blood in her ear. She had found that her boyfriend of six years had cheated on her over the summer and confronted him. After striking her, the man fled in a vehicle. The victim told police that she had been assaulted by him before but never called police. She told police that she was done letting him assault her. Her mother picked her up and took her to a safe location. Checks stolen from mailbox: At 10:00 a.m. on Jan. 4 in the 2300 block of SW 339th St., a man saw a small, cream colored sedan parked near his mailbox. The victim saw a white female passenger reach into a mailbox and drive away. The victim went to investigate and determined the female had stolen three pieces of his mail that were scheduled to be mailed out. There were three checks inside the mailed out. The account number and check numbers were listed in the report. Victim was advised to notify the bank to call back if subjects attempted to cash the checks. Police were unable to locate the vehicle during an area check.

Federal Way police respond to shooting, later determined a hoax FROM STAFF REPORTS

Federal Way police rushed to what they thought was a murder scene Jan. 8, only to find out it was a hoax.

According to Cathy Schrock, police spokeswoman, a man called 911 at 7:13 a.m. Friday, stating he had shot his wife, she was dead, and he had a hostage at Mari-

Tax season to open Jan. 19 FROM STAFF REPORTS

Following a review of the tax extenders legislation signed into law last week, the Internal Revenue Service announced the federal tax season will begin as scheduled on Tuesday, Jan. 19. The IRS will begin accepting individual electronic returns that day. The IRS expects to receive more than 150 million individual returns in 2016, with more than four out of five being prepared using tax return preparation software and e-filed. The IRS will begin processing paper tax returns at the same time. There is no advantage to people filing tax returns on paper in early January instead of waiting for e-file to begin. “We look forward to opening the 2016 tax season on time,” IRS commissioner John Koskinen said. “Our employees have been working hard throughout this year to make this happen. We also appreciate the help from the nation’s tax professionals and the software community, who are critical to helping taxpayers during the filing season.” As part of the Security Summit initiative, the IRS has been working closely with the tax industry and state revenue departments to provide stronger protections against identity theft for taxpayers during the coming filing season. The filing deadline to submit 2015 tax returns is Monday, April 18, rather than the traditional April 15 date. Washington, D.C., will celebrate Emancipation Day on that Friday, which pushes the deadline to the following Monday for most of the nation. Koskinen noted the new legislation makes permanent many provisions and extends many others for several years. “This provides certainty for planning purposes, which will help taxpayers and the tax community as well as the IRS,” he said. The IRS urges all taxpayers to make sure they have all their year-end statements in hand before filing, including forms W-2 from employers, forms 1099 from banks and other payers and form 1095-A from the Marketplace for those claiming the premium tax credit. Although the IRS begins accepting returns on Jan. 19, many tax software companies will begin accepting tax returns earlier in January and submitting them to the IRS when processing systems open. Choosing e-file and direct deposit for refunds remains the fastest and safest way to file an accurate income tax return and receive a refund. The IRS anticipates issuing more than nine out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. Find free options to get tax help, and to prepare and file your return on IRS.gov or in your community if you qualify. Go to IRS. gov and click on the filing tab to see your options.

PUBLIC NOTICE – 2016 SOLID WASTE RATE INCREASES In accordance with RCW 35.21.157, the City of Federal Way provides this notice of upcoming solid waste rate increases for Waste Management of Washington customers serviced in Federal Way. The City of Federal Way regulates a contract with Waste Management of Washington that establishes solid waste and recycling collection services and pricing. This contract permits annual rate adjustments tied to Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, and to periodic adjustments of King County’s disposal fees. Individual refuse collection fees generally consist of two components: ‘Disposal’ + ‘Service’ = Current Rate. ‘Disposal’ is based on average container weights, factoring in disposal fees set by King County, which for 2016 continues to be $120.17 per ton, plus applicable taxes and surcharges. There will be no change related to this rate component for 2016. Disposal fees only apply to the ‘Disposal’ component of rates, which covers the cost of transferring solid waste delivered to King County facilities to the County’s Cedar Hills Landfill for disposal. For

Here’s a great idea!

more information, please call King County Solid Waste Division at (206) 477-4466, or visit http://your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste/index.asp. The ‘Ser vice’ rate component is Waste Management’s compensation, and adjusts by a CPI factor every March 1st. This annual CPI adjustment is set by Bureau of Labor Statistics data. This CPI factor increases the ‘Service’ component of residential and commercial rates by approximately 1.24%, effective March 1, 2016. For example, the monthly rate for a 35-gallon garbage cart will increase a total of $0.17, from $19.18 to $19.35. Customers may reduce the impact of rate increases through waste reduction and recycling options. For example, Residential customers can: Increase recycling cart size (at no added cost) and recycle more, and/or Start or increase yard debris/food scrap recycling (at lower volume costs than garbage), and then Reduce garbage container size to reduce combined fees. Upon request, City Public Works staff will assist customers with options that can offset these 2016 rate increases. Commercial customers are encouraged to request limited no-cost recycling service (up to two 96-gallon carts per individual business). Multi-family customer rates include unlimited noHere’s cost recycling services. Increasing recycling and downsizing garbage service can reduce costs. To a great make changes to service levels, contact Waste Management of Washington at (253) 833-3333, or idea! (800) 592-9995.
