WARM WELCOMING. Once students arrived on campus in two boisterous parades, Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud (right) welcomed everyone to the Puyallup reservation and offered a touching prayer for the students. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

tudents, faculty, staff and alumni of the University of Washington-Tacoma gathered with families, friends and the broader Tacoma community on a beautiful fall day on Sept. 30 for UWT’s fourth annual Convocation, an event to welcome new and returning students to the University. Assembling at the campus’ outdoor plaza, anticipation grew among the crowd as two UWT student parade contingents

made their way to campus from the Museum of Glass and University Y Student Center starting points. Even Huskies mascot Harry the Husky was there to take part in the festivities. With Lincoln and Curtis High School drum lines setting a celebratory beat, excitement filled the crowd as the drumming grew closer to campus and UWT students converged on the courtyard stairs. Beaming smiles seemed to be on every face and cheering filled the air at this truly welcoming convocation day. UWT Chancellor Mark Pagano welcomed everyone from the stage podium. He

then introduced Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud, whom Pagano called “a dear friend of the University of WashingtonTacoma, someone who represents a special partner to us on this campus, a fellow leader and colleague in the effort to both advance

BUDGET. The Tacoma City Council heard City Manager TC Broadnax’s pro-

posed 2017-2018 budget at the study session on Tuesday. The budget is the first in a long time that is balanced largely without delaying repairs or known upgrades as a way to address the city’s longstanding “structural deficit.”

PROPOSED BUDGET ADDS LIBRARY UPGRADES, COPS, FIREFIGHTERS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The Tacoma City Council got its first look at the proposed biennial budget on Tuesday that shows more cops, more firefighters and improvements to libraries – all hot button issues during early stages of City Manager T.C. Broadnax’s budget process this summer. “It was very grueling and I was very mean,” he said during the study session. The budget process started with

departments drafting their own budgets based on cuts of between 2 and 4 percent as a way for the city to address a projected $6 million shortfall if nothing in city spending changed. It’s a relatively small “structural defect,” particularly since the city faced a $32 million gap in 2011 and $63 million shortfall in 2013. But still, more money was expected to flow out than come in from taxes, so either cuts to programs or new taxes to fund them were part of the budget talks.

The future of the Click Cable Network has been in flux ever since plans announced to lease the network to a private company sparked a community pushback to save Click. However, things are starting to come into focus as the Tacoma Public Utilities approved a funding plan at their Sept. 28 meeting that could see the cable company go “all in” as a phone, Internet and cable provider, should the Tacoma city council take the recommendation. The funding plan sees TPU ratepayers pay the majority of the cost associated with the upgrades that would come with the all-in plan as well as continuing operations.

With fall settling in to the Great Northwest – and Halloween just around the corner – the Tacoma Weekly is celebrating the season by giving our Pothole Pig the month off and introducing his temporary stand-in Pothole Pumpkin for the month of October.

Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.” In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. Two road packages passed by voters last year added money to the city’s street fund. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

SQUEEZE COMING TO I-5/SR 16 CONNECTION Temporary but significant changes are coming for drivers who use the eastbound State Route 16 on-ramp to northbound Interstate 5 in Tacoma. The change will allow crews to continue efforts to extend HOV lanes into Tacoma, but a similar configuration in 2015 created routine backups on SR 16 approaching I-5. On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 5, the eastbound SR 16 on-ramp to northbound I-5 was reduced to one lane through spring 2017. In the event of inclement weather, the changes will be rescheduled. “Because we’ve used this traffic configuration before, we already know it will cause delays,” said WSDOT Project Engineer Brenden Clarke. “Space is very tight through the area, which limits our options. We’ll work as quickly as we can to get this phase of construction behind us. The work zone space created by reducing eastbound SR 16 to one lane at northbound I-5 will allow crews to build new road approaches to the newly constructed bridge over Interstate 705/State Route 7. That new bridge will eventually carry all northbound I-5 traffic, and existing northbound I-5 lanes will be converted to HOV lanes. Once the lane reduction is in place, eastbound SR 16 travelers merging onto northbound I-5 can expect congestion and delays, particularly during the morning and afternoon commute hours. Drivers headed north of Tacoma who encounter backups are encouraged to consider detouring onto State Route 7, to South 38th Street (east), and looping back onto the SR 7 on-ramp to northbound I-5. Real-time traveler information is available from the WSDOT app and by following the WSDOT regional Twitter feed. GOODWILL PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT On Sept. 29 Terry Hayes, President and CEO of Goodwill of the Olympics and Rainier Region (covering 15 counties in Washington state) announced her retirement effective Dec. 31, 2016. Hayes, 69, was named President and CEO in 2001. During her 15 years of leadership the organization has grown four-fold to become an $80 million social enterprise that includes career training for the region’s unemployed, retail, donations and recycling, “Terry’s contribution to Goodwill has been phenomenal. She has been central to helping the organization reach tremendous heights, both in mission services and our retail business,” said Board Chair, C.W. Herchold. When Hayes took the helm in 2001, Goodwill served 1,200 people with job training thanks mainly to a retail network of 14 stores. This year, more than 10,000 unemployed will receive free training in office, culinary, construction, barista, catering, retail, custodial, warehouse, transportation and logistics careers through four education campuses and two satellite offices. To fuel this education effort, Hayes expanded Goodwill’s economic engine into a diverse network of 37 retail stores – including three boutiques and three outlets – an online sales operation, a recycle/salvage business, a landscaping and contract business, and a catering operation. This year the organization will receive additional support in the form of $6.7 million in government, foundation and individual contributions, and partnerships with 1,300 local businesses. “One of Terry’s greatest contributions has been the regionalization of our mission services for the unemployed,” Herchold said. “We now provide mission services in 15 counties, helping people with barriers to employment with job training and educational opportunities.” According to Herchold, a search committee has been formed to recruit a new President and CEO. “Terry is leaving the organization in a great place,” Herchold said. “And though we are saddened by her departure, we are very happy for her as she makes this well-deserved transition to retirement.” LOCAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY ENDORSES LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE In an unprecedented event, the district Democratic party, the 31st Democrats, have endorsed a Libertarian candidate. John Frostad is the Libertarian challenger to incumbent Republican, Drew Stokesbary for State Representative in the 31st legislative district. “I am looking to bridge the two major parties in Olympia,” said Frostad. “The 31st Democrats felt I would give them a voice on many issues Drew Stokesbary would not.” John’s platform includes many left-leaning items such as criminal justice reform, personal freedoms and social tolerance. He supported marijuana legalization and marriage equality. “I want a government that respects your liberties and your money,” says Frostad. “The interests of taxpayers should be the only interests on the minds of our politicians.” John has proposed a revenue-neutral reset on business taxes which would help small businesses and eliminate the tax loopholes and perks provided to wellconnected corporations. Frostad has made many appearances at community events around the 31st district this summer. “I have been hearing many voices out there in our district that are tired of two party politics and are looking for a socially liberal, fiscally conservative candidate to represent them,” he says. “They want a legislator with the voters in mind, not campaign donors.” Frostad is running in the 31st district that includes south Auburn, Edgewood, Enumclaw, Sumner, Bonney Lake, Buckley, South Prairie, Wilkeson, Carbonado, and the unincorporated areas of northeastern Pierce County. John Frostad is one of 12 Libertarian candidates who will be on November ballots across the state this year.

TCC TO OFFER NEW ASSOCIATE OF MUSIC DEGREE Starting Fall 2016, TCC is offering a new Associate of Music (AM) Degree. Designed to help serious music students get solid training that will prepare them to transfer directly into 4-year music programs, the program allows students considering careers in music or music education to start their degree pathways at a two-year college. “It is a very rigorous degree, and will serve dedicated music students well,” said Music Department Chair John Falskow. “After students graduate from our program, they should be successfully prepared to transfer to a four-year school.” Students will focus on music theory, studio lessons, music ensembles and more. The program offers a variety of courses and activities, ranging from digital music, recitals, traditional classes and performing groups. Upon completion of this degree, students can transfer directly into a bachelor’s program in music at a four-year Washington university. TCC is one of the first community colleges in the state to offer an Associate of Music, Falskow said. “This program will empower students,” he said. “We offer a curriculum that cooperates with the expectations from four-year universities, but with focused attention and plenty of one-on-one time.” TCC has set up a new area for the program in Building 19. A new classroom setting and three sound-treated rooms have been established for students to do private sessions or group performances. All students are encouraged to apply, Falskow said. “We will be honest with students on whether or not this program is the right one for you,” he said. PHARMACISTS PLAY HEALTH CARE ROLE BESIDES FILLING PRESCRIPTIONS Every October is American Pharmacists Month. The month-long observance recognizes the important role local pharmacies play in providing accurate information regarding medications and offering preventative medications and suggesting alternatives to help keep health care costs low. As a way to highlight the importance of the month, Pierce County Aging and Disability Resources (ADRC) has scheduled six free special presentations of “The Power of Your Pharmacist” throughout the county: • Oct. 11: 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Sumner Library, 1116 Fryar Ave., Sumner • Oct. 12: Noon-12:50 p.m. at the County-City Building, 930 Tacoma Ave. S., 7th Floor Conference Room, Tacoma • Oct. 12: 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Graham Library, 9202 224th St. E., Graham • Oct. 15: 10-11 a.m. at the Sound View Building, 3602 Pacific Ave. S., Tacoma • Oct. 17: 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the University Place Library, 3609 Market Place W., University Place • Oct. 19: 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Parkland Spanaway Library, 13718 Pacific Ave. S., Tacoma. “The Power of Your Pharmacist” is meant to acquaint individuals with how to best take advantage of the skills and resources that pharmacies can offer. Pharmacists do far more than dispense medications. They can also give advice on side effects, drug interactions and alternative medicines. The reality is that pharmacy shelves are loaded with helpful products, many of which used to be available only by prescription. Consumers have access to over 370 retail pharmacies in Pierce County plus countless pharmacies by mail. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that in 2015 Washington retail pharmacies filled almost 93 million prescriptions, a slice of the over 4 billion prescriptions dispensed nationwide. “We all want good health,” said Aaron Van Valkenburg, Pierce County Aging & Disability Resources manager. “However, sometimes finding the best information and remedies may be difficult. We all know pharmacists distribute prescriptions. But they can also play a critical role in providing much more ranging from information about how prescription drugs work and their side effects to overthe-counter remedies and medication reviews. Pharmacies are often the best source of help for more common daily concerns that may not merit a doctor visit.” The workshops are public, free, information-only presentations sponsored by the Pierce County ADRC in collaboration with area pharmacies. No RSVP is required. For more information call (253) 798-4600.

CHI FRANCISCAN APPOINTS NEW CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER CHI Franciscan Health, a leading health care provider in the Pacific Northwest, on Oct. 3 announced the appointment of Rear Admiral Michael H. Anderson, MD (retired), as chief medical officer (CMO). Dr. Anderson has served as interim chief medical officer for CHI Franciscan since February 2016 and will continue his work to enhance the quality of care CHI Franciscan provides individuals and families across the region. “With Dr. Anderson’s guidance, we will continue to elevate physician leadership within our system to position us to set the standard for quality care, patient safety, and patient outcomes,” said Ketul J. Patel, chief executive officer, CHI Franciscan Health. “He is an invaluable asset to the executive leadership team and his years of accomplished health care experience will serve CHI Franciscan, our patients and communities well.” As chief medical officer for all eight CHI Franciscan hospitals, Dr. Anderson will be responsible for systemwide medical affairs, medical staff services, regulatory affairs and quality care. After conducting a national search for its Chief Medical Officer, it became clear to CHI Franciscan’s leadership team that Dr. Anderson was the best candidate for the CMO position. Dr. Anderson has decades of experience throughout his career implementing patient-centered health care models and leading population health management initiatives. He is passionate about transforming health care systems to improve outcomes and the quality of care for patients. “CHI Franciscan is transforming the way health care is delivered in the Pacific Northwest,” said Anderson. “I am excited and eager to bring my experience as a health care executive to further enhance the patient experience at CHI Franciscan hospitals in my new role as chief medical officer.” Anderson joined Harrison Medical Center in 2013 and served as the vice president medical affairs and associate chief medical officer of the Peninsula region. He quickly became an integral and valuable member of the leadership team at CHI Franciscan Health. SEE MORE BULLETIN BOARD ITEMS AT TACOMAWEEKLY.COM

Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

#1 PRESIDENTIAL POLL

Pierce County detectives say a bank robbery suspect identified by numerous tips to Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County is in custody. Kyle Beadle has been charged with the Sept. 7 robbery of a Columbia Bank branch on Canyon Road in Puyallup. Deputies say he walked into the bank and handed the teller a note implying he had a gun. ROSE Beadle was identified by many, many tips that came in from the public after the robbery video was featured on Washington's Most Wanted and the Pierce County Sheriff's Department Facebook page. Beadle is currently in custody at the SCORE jail in Kent on unrelated charges and will later be transferred to the Pierce County Jail to face charges for the bank robbery. Court documents show he was polite and cooperative when detectives questioned him. He admitted that he robbed the bank for money to use to visit his mom in Iowa. However, he used it for his gambling problem instead. He is Washington’s Most Wanted’s capture no. 817!

PUYALLUP WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO STEALING MORE THAN $82,000 FROM ELDERLY RELATIVE WITH DEMENTIA The Pierce County Prosecutor’s Elder Abuse Unit accepted guilty pleas from Jessica Sellers, 37, on Oct. 4 for eight counts of theft from a vulnerable adult. Sellers stole more than $82,000.00 from her husband’s elderly grandfather who has dementia. “Our Elder Abuse Unit continues to successfully advocate for vulnerable adults,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “People should know there are heavy penalties for exploiting elders and we vigorously prosecute these cases whenever and wherever they happen in Pierce County.” Ralph Penz was diagnosed with dementia in 2005 and soon thereafter required assistance via Power of Attorney to make financial and medical decisions on his behalf. Sellers volunteered to serve as Power of Attorney as of March 20, 2006. In October 2012 Penz moved to assisted living. Sellers claimed the money in Penz’s account fluctuated with the stock market and it was

down. She also told family members that Penz’s home sold for $350,000 and that after taxes and fees, the proceeds from the sale would be $290,000. The home actually sold for $400,000. After taxes and Realtor fees, a total of $359,439 was deposited in Penz’s account on July 22, 2013. At the time, Sellers was unemployed and her husband was on L&I due to an injury. Soon after the proceeds from the real estate sale were deposited in to Penz’s account, Sellers and her husband appear to have increased their spending according to family members. They purchased a new 2013 Honda Civic for $26,203 using a check from Penz’s account. Other expenditures included a collector car, puppies, guns, a gun safe, furniture, vacations, snowboard equipment and private lessons, a large fish tank, and home improvements. There were also two large checks written from Penz’s account to Sellers. A letter from Sellers’ attor-

PUYALLUP WOMAN CHARGED WITH ABUSING HER 80-YEAR-OLD MOTHER

ney claimed that Sellers and her husband asked Penz for a loan in the amount of $85,548. No loan documents or any specific information identifying the date or terms of the supposed loan were provided. Dr. Indra Finch, a licensed and clinical forensic psychologist, reviewed the case (including Mr. Penz’ medical records) prior to charges being filed and reached the opinion that Mr. Penz displayed clear impairments in his functional capacities and it is more likely than not that his cognitive ability to make financial decisions was impaired by his dementia during the relevant timeframe. Sellers’ guilty pleas include the aggravating circumstances that the victim was particularly vulnerable given his advanced dementia and that her actions constitute an abuse of trust given her position as Power of Attorney. Sellers is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 2.

The Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office charged Leisa Anne Wagner, 51, on Sept. 30 with assault in the second degree and unlawful imprisonment. The Prosecutor’s Elder Abuse Unit is handling the case. “Cases like this are why we started our Elder Abuse Unit,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “We are committed to protecting the most vulnerable in our community.” On Sept. 9, Puyallup police were dispatched to a residence after a family member called 911 to report that his aunt, Leisa Anne Wagner, was downstairs “choking” his grandmother and that she had tied the elderly woman to a chair and was beating her. Police arrived and found Rose Wagner, 80, bound to a wooden chair at the waist with a bed sheet. Rose was crying and said that she could not breathe. The grandson told officers he saw Wagner put a bedsheet

around his grandmother’s neck and strangle her. He captured the incident on cell phone video and says it all started with Wagner yelling at her mother, “You need to stop going to the bathroom every five seconds,” and, “If you don’t stop giving me a hard time, I will tie you up and lock you in here and never let you out.” Wagner admitted using a floral sheet to restrain her mom in the chair, but denied strangling her and said the sheet was never around the neck. Prosecutors also allege the aggravating circumstances of abuse of trust and particular vulnerability of the victim. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. For more information, please contact James Lynch at (253) 798-6265, jlynch@ co.pierce.wa.us.

Residents of West Tacoma and University Place no longer have to travel a long distance for their vehicle and vessel licensing needs with the opening of a new Department of Licensing sub-agency, Tacoma Licensing, at 6718 19th St., owned and operated by Mike and Jean Flynn. Tacoma Licensing offers services such as titling, registration and permits to University Place, Tacoma and surrounding areas. The Flynns have experience in the Licensing field, running a similar location in Fife for the past 11 years. Residents may recognize both locations by the plethora of Seahawks gear decorating the office, creating a bright and colorful contrast to the image most people have of a licensing office. The decorations give familiarity as well as an opportunity for conversation, letting people feel comfortable in the environment where they won’t have to experience much of a wait. “We do our best to keep people moving as fast as we can and be as informative as we can because a lot of people walk in and out of here. This is a great opportunity in a great part of town,” Mike said. Despite the blue and green walls, the Flynns want to make it clear that everyone is welcome, even if you’re a 49ers fan. The new office offers a more personal experience than you would get at a government office, and is normally

less crowded, with no number system in place, as it’s simply not needed. And with recent legislation leveling the same fees at the state auditor’s office as at sub-agencies, the Flynns are hoping the Tacoma office will have the edge, especially with an experienced team. “We’re not new at this; we’re very experienced. Eleven years is a lot of experience, and everyone that’s going to work here will be experienced,” Mike said. “We’re a small business and the people who work for us are really treasured by us. We really appreciate them and they help make this the best that it can be.” The Flynns’ sub-agency is replacing another agency in the same location that closed down in January 2015, and in the weeks leading up to the grand opening was already receiving a lot of potential business. “Every day I was here renovating the space for our opening. I encountered customers looking for help. It’s great to be able to bring the spirit and culture of our Fife location to University Place, Tacoma and surrounding areas,” Mike said. Tacoma Licensing is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5: 30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information visit tacomalicense. com. “The whole idea behind a subagent being contracted is that we can offer longer hours and we can focus on licensing vehicles and vessels,” Jean said. “We’re just really happy to be a part of the UP and North End community.”

NOVALEE LEWIS CHOSEN AT MISS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AMERICA

Life Christian Academy announced this week that 7th grade student Novalee Lewis has received the national honor of being chosen Miss Junior High School America. A student at LCA since preschool, Novalee will travel extensively to communicate the anti-bullying and diversity message of the MJHSA organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BRAVE (Building Respect And Values for Everyone) platform, as well as represent the pageant program and its sponsors. Locally, Lewis will present BRAVE to Tacoma Public School elementary students, volunteer at the FISH Food Bank and Seattle Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, and participate in service projects with Life Christian Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Junior Honor Society chapter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a dream come true for me to have this amazing opportunity to travel and share the message that everyone is uniquely beautiful,â&#x20AC;? said Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am part of a very diverse family that includes 10 different nationalities.

BRIDGING THE THIN BLUE DIVIDE

FOR DISTRUST TO SUBSIDE, ALL SIDES HAVE TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER The distrust between communities and the police officers that are sworn to protect and serve them has a long history in the United States. And it will take a long time for that distrust to fully heal, but all sides have a vested interest in finding a solution. It seems lately that a week canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass without at least one case of a police officer shooting someone under questionable circumstances, varying witness accounts and blasts of withholding evidence or covering up facts. Right or wrong, justified or not, the narrative is shockingly similar and the ending is almost universally the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a dead body and an investigation that clears the officer of wrongdoing. Law enforcement officers certainly have the right to protect themselves from bodily harm or death when faced with life-taking hostility. But people also have the right to not have those same officers read all of their actions as threats worthy of death. It is a bit disingenuous to argue that if the citizen had just followed the officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders, bullets never would have entered the narrative since that line of thought is based on the assumption that people believe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; right or wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that the officer represents justice. Far too often in this nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, people wearing badges have represented death, beatings, civil rights violations or random traffic stops. Driving while black is far too common of a reason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least a perception â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that leads to a stop and talk that white members of society simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience at the same rate. But it is not a racist police issue as much as it is a societal one. Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor calls it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;species diseaseâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that any cure wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just come from those with badges, but must involve everyone having frank discussions about race in America. Police departments are simply at the vanguard of that discussion. Fortunately, local agencies are willing to take up the discussion rather than pretend the United States is a post-racial society. Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project PEACE effort last year produced a roster of recommendations that the Tacoma Police Department has begun bringing to the streets of the City of Destiny. Pierce County has a similar effort under the banner of the Criminal Justice Vision Group. Both departments also have long-standing community programs that offer neighbors, business owners, students and elected officials a deeper understanding of law enforcement policies and the real-life world of policing issues in an increasingly complex swirl of technology, higher demands and shrinking budgets. The goal of these citizens' police academies, which are offered several times a year, is to provide community members with information and context regarding police issues that are too nuanced to be the fodder of social media memes. Anyone interested in attending an academy in their community should contact their local law enforcement agency. For distrust to subside, all sides have to understand each other. That starts with talking with the purpose of learning and listening rather than to simply being heard.

DECISION â&#x20AC;&#x2122;16 70% HILLARY CLINTON 17% DONALD TRUMP 10% GARY JOHNSON 1% JILL STEIN

The results of the Tacoma Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential poll suggest Democrat Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine have stronger support locally over Republican Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Mike Pence. The first weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results had Clinton with 70 percent versus Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17 percent with Libertarian Gary Johnson receiving 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 1 percent. Now remember, this is just a local poll and is far from scientific. A few times during the last week, for example, several hundred votes were cast in a matter of hours from the same IP address. Those votes were deleted from the system. We have added an anti-bot feature to safeguard against repeat of such poll-jacking in the future. But, as you know, politically minded computer users can be an interesting bunch.

REGULATING AMERICA OUT OF JOBS By Don C. Brunell The U.S. Chamber of Commerce looked at the cost of regulations in America and found that excessive regulations are undercutting our economy and costing us jobs. Federal rules alone in the past few years have exploded and the Chamber finds it cost our nation $1.7 trillion. State labor and employment law resulted in the loss of U.S. 700,000 jobs. On the other hand, paring back state regulations that exceed federal standards alone would spawn 50,000 new businesses each year. The Chamber report is not an indictment on government regulations, per se. Most regulations serve a good purpose. For example, we all want to fly safely and air traffic controllers are there to enforce stringent rules. Health inspections in restaurants, grocery stores and medical facilities are other examples of necessary government rules. But it is the over reach of government which seems more prevalent today. That trend toward excessive and unachievable regulation is hurting employers and American people in the form of job losses, investment opportunities squandered and higher prices for our products and services. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a plethora of new air emission standards clamping down on all sources from homes to factories. Many of the sweeping new rules come under the heading of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Climate Change.â&#x20AC;?

For example, EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air standards for biomass boilers which burn wood wastes to generate electricity are so stringent that it threatens to kill many projects, including some in Washington. These plants take dead, diseased and scrap wood from forests which, if left there, is fuel for wildfires. Biomass plants are engineered and built to capture air pollutants. However, once forest fires ignite, there are no pollution controls to trap greenhouse gases, collect ash and or abate choking smoke. Creating jobs, manufacturing goods, and producing energy should be no brainers, but why the wall of red tape? A primary reason is that the balance between jobs and regulations is tipped toward severely restricting or eliminating projects which burn carbon based fuels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; natural gas, oil, coal and even wood wastes. Those rules, while primarily directed at energy projects, also heavily impact the industrial sector, which encompasses manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and construction. That sector accounted for almost a third of total U.S. energy use in 2012. U.S. manufacturers and farmers compete globally. Many of its competitors operate in countries with lowered environmental standards than ours. In turn, those companies export lower cost products to our country. For example, China, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader in exporting cement, and India account for two-thirds of the worldwide

cement manufacturing and its facilities, for the most part, do not have the same levels of pollution control. United States producers account for four percent of the global cement and when including related industries such as concrete, the number of employees is nearly 535,000 with a payroll of approximately $25 billion. In 2012, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) claimed that 10 cement plants in her home state emitted 225 pounds of mercury in 2009 and wanted EPA to clamp down even harder on the plants. Reducing emissions takes time and money. For example, before Johnson tagged the industry had already reduced their emissions by 60 percent. Like many American industries, the technology to avoid and clean water and air emissions is evolving. There is test technology in the United Kingdom that will eliminate 95 percent of the emissions from manufacturing cement. The bottom line is we all want clean air and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Beijingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smog or suffocating pollution. The question is how to improve regulations without crippling our economy, tossing people out of work, and keep jobs here in America. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver.

THE LONG, LONG JOURNEY TO FEMALE EQUALITY By James A. Haught With the possibility of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first woman president looming, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate to consider the monumental struggle for gender equality. For millennia, female inferiority was presumed, and mandated, in virtually every human culture. Through most of history, the brawn of heavier males gave them dominance, leaving women in lesser status â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often mere possessions of men, confined to the home, rarely educated, with few rights. Many were forced to wear veils or shrouds when outdoors, and they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go outside without a male relative escort. Fathers kept their daughters restricted then chose husbands who became their new masters. Sometimes the husbands also had several other wives. In a few cultures, unwanted baby girls were left on trash dumps to die. In Ancient Greece, women were kept indoors, rarely seen, while men performed all public functions. Women couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend schools or own property. A wife couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend male social events, even when her husband staged one at home. Aristotle believed in â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural slavesâ&#x20AC;? and wrote that females are lesser creatures who must be cared for, as a farmer tends his livestock. Up through medieval times, daughters were secondary, and inheritances went to firstborn sons. Male rule prevailed. Anthropologists have searched for exceptions, with little success â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except possibly some Iroquois tribes in Canada, where women reportedly had some rights. In the 1930s, the famed Margaret Mead thought she found a female-led group in New Guinea, but she later reversed her conclusion and wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the claims so glibly made about societies ruled by women are nonsense. We have no reason to believe that they ever existedâ&#x20AC;Ś. Men everywhere have been in charge of running the show.â&#x20AC;? As The Enlightenment blossomed in the 1700s, calls for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights emerged. Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talleyrand wrote that only men required serious education â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men are destined to live on the stage of the worldâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and women should learn just to manage â&#x20AC;&#x153;the paternal home.â&#x20AC;? This infuriated Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebellious Mary Wollstonecraft (17591797), who wrote A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vindication of the Rights of Woman,â&#x20AC;? contending that

females have potential for full public life. (Her daughter married poet Percy Shelley and wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankenstein.â&#x20AC;?) Reformer John Stuart Mill (18061873) wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Subjugation of Womenâ&#x20AC;? in 1869 after his wife had written â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Enfranchisement of Women,â&#x20AC;? calling for a female right to vote. The husband protested: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There remain no legal slaves, save the mistress of every house.â&#x20AC;? As a member of Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parliament, Mill sought voting by women and became president of the National Society for Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Suffrage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The legal subordination of one sex to another is wrong in itself, and now one of the chief hindrances to human improvement,â&#x20AC;? Mill wrote. The western world wrestled nearly a century before women finally won the right to vote. Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) was the bright daughter of a New York state judge. Few schools admitted girls, so her father arranged for her to attend male-only Johnstown Academy. The daughter grew outraged by laws forbidding women to own property or control their lives. She married an abolitionist lawyer and accompanied him to London for a world conference against slavery. Women werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to talk; they sat silent behind a curtain while men spoke. Back in America, she joined Quakers to organize an 1848 assembly at Seneca Falls, New York, that launched the modern womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equality movement. Frederick Douglass urged delegates to demand female suffrage. Stanton later joined Unitarians Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, and Ralph Waldo Emerson in a lifelong struggle for female rights. The Civil War temporarily suppressed those efforts, but they flared anew when the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, allowed black males to vote, but not females of any color. Demands snowballed for decades. Mark Twain gave a speech calling for female voting. Various suffrage groups took to the streets, some more militant than others. The National Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party led by Alice Paul was toughest, picketing outside the White House, enduring male jeers, and physical assaults. President Woodrow Wilson tried to ignore the clamor. When a Russian delegation visited the White House, pickets held banners stating â&#x20AC;&#x153;America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.â&#x20AC;? The protesters staged Washington

parades that were attacked by mobs, sending some beaten victims to hospitals. Women pickets on sidewalks were hauled to jail on absurd charges of â&#x20AC;&#x153;obstructing traffic.â&#x20AC;? When they refused to pay fines, they were locked up with criminals. Paul was sentenced to seven months. She went on a hunger strike and was force-fed. Finally, Wilson reversed position in 1918 and supported female enfranchisement. Congress approved the 19th Amendment, and it was ratified in 1920, letting women vote. Around the world, various other nations followed, some more slowly than others. In Switzerland, women didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gain full ballot rights in all districts until 1991. Saudi Arabian women finally gained only partial voting in December 2015. Social struggles never really end. Western women still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gained full equality. Their pay remains below the average for male workers. In some places, American women couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve on juries until the 1950s. Some Muslim and African cultures remain medieval, with women subjugated, with girls less-educated, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;honor killingsâ&#x20AC;? of flirtatious daughters who besmirch a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Puritanical standards, and with genital mutilation of girls to subdue their sex drive and keep them â&#x20AC;&#x153;pureâ&#x20AC;? for husbands. An Amnesty International report said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the United States, a woman is raped every six minutes; a woman is battered every 15 seconds. In North Africa, 6,000 women are genitally mutilated each day. This year, more than 15,000 women will be sold into sexual slavery in China. Two hundred women in Bangladesh will be horribly disfigured when their spurned husbands or suitors burn them with acid. More than 7,000 women in India will be murdered by their families and inlaws in disputes over dowries. Violence against women is rooted in a global culture of discrimination which denies women equal rights with men and which legitimizes the appropriation of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodies for individual gratification or political ends. Every year, violence in the home and the community devastates the lives of millions of women.â&#x20AC;? Obviously, even with the possibility of a female U.S. president, the battle for full equality still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over. James Haught, syndicated by PeaceVoice, is editor emeritus of West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest newspaper, The Charleston Gazette-Mail.

PIERCE COUNTY SHERIFF MEDICALLY RETIRES K9 DIEGO

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is deeply saddened to announce that Pierce County Sheriff’s K9 Diego was medically retired this month. Diego was diagnosed with terminal and untreatable cancer inside of his heart in mid-July, but stayed on the job until Sept. 9 when he was officially retired by the department and his replacement, K9 Dos, was present for duty. Diego, a 9-year-old black Labrador, began his career with the department on April 9, 2009 after graduating from the Auburn University Canine Detection and Training Center. Diego was born into a bomb dog program, and from birth his training was focused on transforming him into an Explosive Detection K9. Diego and his handler, Deputy Bill Hultman, were the first civilian law enforcement team to complete the Boeing K9 Unit’s 400-hour training program. They also have a certification from the Criminal Justice Training Center. During Diego’s career, he conducted the following:

• 381 calls for service. He has respond-

ed to nearly every jurisdiction in Pierce County, as well as calls in King County and Mt. Rainer National Park;

• 6,018 routine facility checks for

Pierce Transit, to include Sound Transit facilities in Pierce County;

• 2,544 routine bus checks for Pierce Transit;

• 1 Presidential visit; • 3 Vice Presidential visits; • 1 Israeli Cabinet Minister visit; • 1 President of China visit; • 1 National meeting of federal judges in Lakewood;

• 1 Special Homeland Security detail in Tacoma;

• 1 U.S. Open golf tournament; • 4 seasons with the Seahawks and Sounders at Century Link Field;

• 3 seasons with UW Huskies Football at Husky Stadium

Diego was also a favorite with children. He performed many K9 demonstrations at the Puyallup Fair, various schools, and JBLM, where every year he was requested to attend their annual pet shows. Citizens who would like to support Diego and our K9 program can donate at wwwGoFundMe.com/K9Diego.

By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

Last June, 13-year-old Carson Styron died tragically in an ATV accident. Carson’s love for baseball has inspired his friends and family to honor his legacy by starting a petition to rename the Lower Milton Baseball Fields in honor of Carson. Headed by Carson’s friend Devin Fuchs, the petition managed to get more than 1,000 signatures in just over a week. “They played baseball together forever, Devin is a pitcher and Carson was a catcher, they had a really good bond,” Devin’s mother, Ashley Fuchs said. “Devin decided he wanted to do something in Carson’s name.” Many of the signatures came from not just Milton, but the surrounding areas as well. Residents of Fife, Edgewood and Auburn dot the list, exemplifying the interconnected community this area has developed over the years. The Fuchs and others, including Carson’s parents

Nate and Carley, are looking to do more than rename the field. With permission from the city and funds from a non-profit set up in Carson’s name, the group would like to help renovate the field with things like signage, additional seating and uniform dugout covers. “The organization is looking to do the things they think Carson would have done growing up, to continue to play baseball and help other kids play baseball. They wanted to use the money raised through the foundation to better the field, and potentially other fields in the future,” Fuchs said. Before this can be done, the group needs approval from the city and they have been attending every city council meeting to get the item on the council’s agenda. A few weeks ago, more than 60 people crowded city hall to show their support for Styron’s family and friends. The issue is complicated by the fact that an agenda is oftentimes set months in advance, and not all of the signatures on the petition are from Milton residents. Should the city approve the plan, the group has a variety of ideas for what could be done. One of the big-

GRAND OPENING!

ger ones involves a possible “Welcome to Milton” sign for the field, which is one of the first things you see in the city coming from the west. There is also talk of a potential honor wall to recognize and memorialize others in the city. For all the work the group wants to do, Fuchs wants to make it clear they want to work with the city on the project, and only want to fix what they can get approved for. “We’ve made it very clear that we want to work with the city to do what’s right, make sure they agree with the things we want to do and pay for it through the foundation. It’s still going to be the city’s park, we just need them to say yes. That’s our goal at this point,” Fuchs said. “It’s just a matter of getting it on the council agenda and having them discuss it. We want it on the agenda, we want it to be talked about.” If you are interested in contributing to the project, contact Ashley Fuchs at kadfuchs@msn.com or visit the Rename Lower Milton Fields for Carson Styron Facebook page.

“Grandfather, help our young people to learn about the world as it exists today, then help them, Grandfather, to take what they’ve learned and make it a better place for all of us, for all of mankind. Grandfather, help them get a vision for the future and make that vision real. Grandfather, help our young people to triumph over the hard times that they’re going to face as students, as adults, as people, in all their lives. Grandfather, bless the whole bunch of people that took these kids – these adults – and made them what they are today, and that’s Mom and Dad, that’s Grandma and Grandpa, that’s Aunts and Uncles, that’s relatives, that’s friends. They’re all really proud of you, and they’re going to watch your success because your success is a part of their success. “Finally Grandfather, let these people here in their days of college and fun, to have fun and enjoy it. I almost said you’re only young once, but in your mind, your heart and in your soul, you can always be young. “I look forward to all of your success. Thank you, and to all my relations.” Melissa Lavitt, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, was there celebrating her very first UWT Convocation.

You’ve got the best teachers around and I think they all should be given a good round of applause. The years they spent to get to where they are is just amazing.” Asking everyone to stand, Sterud offered up this prayer to the Great Spirit Grandfather, and spoke directly to the students as well: “Grandfather, bless the veterans among us here and who aren’t among us here. What they’ve done for this country, for us, is immeasurable. From what I hear, there are students here who have been a part of that sacrifice. Grandfather, we owe them what we have and please give them an easy path as they go through their new careers – to the many students, looking to create another direction and better way, too – another way to be. It’s important. When I see this enthusiasm, Grandfather, it makes my heart feel good and makes my feelings for the future feel good.

To the students Lavitt said, “You are the star of today’s gathering – you students, those that are new, those that are returning, and even those like our friends from Lincoln and Curtis who are not yet enrolled here at UWT. You are the very reason we do what we do. You have summoned us to provide you with an education that will transform your lives and we gladly and proudly rise to the occasion.” In closing, she asked the students to do one thing – take an active part in the UWT. “You need to own this journey. As you settle in to this new stage in your life, reach out and connect whether by volunteering, joining a student organization, by getting to know your professors or by raising your voice so your particular message can be heard. Getting engaged is the secret to college success.” Deputy Mayor Ryan Mello gave congratulations on behalf of Mayor Marilyn Strickland and the Tacoma City Council. “At the City of Tacoma, we are absolutely committed to your success and your learning…and to your fun. I chose to make the city of Tacoma my home because this place is fun. I fell in love with this community – its parks, its waterfront, its neighborhoods, its businesses but most of all, its people. The people here are amazing and when you fully engage in this community, I know that you’ll find it a

great place to live, learn, raise a family and have a career.” Student body president Berkan Koroglu asked everyone to take their cellphones out and capture the moment with chants of “UWT! UWT!” “There are those moments in your life where you want everything to freeze…and I can say that this is one of those moments. I just appreciate all of you guys,” he said then took a moment to tell everyone present of the core values that guide the work of UWT: honesty, integrity, to respect the dignity and rights of all persons, to support freedom of expression, to pursue intellectual and personal development, to engage in critical thinking and discovery and to improve the local community and the world. New UWT students then lined up to receive their UWT pin and everyone was invited to enjoy a barbecue lunch. “Students, please take the pin you’re about receive and let it remind you of the UWT community of which you are now an integral part,” Chancellor Pagano said. “As you wear that pin, remember that it represents a commitment that you have made with us and that we have made with you. I’ve worn my UWT pin every day since I’ve worked here and I would not think of coming to campus with having it on and I hope you do the same. We are truly here for each other.”

t Budget From page A1

That process led to a panic of sorts in some circles, particularly fans of Tacoma Public Library, which presents a budget that would have either closed the Northwest Room, an archive of all things heritage and history, or shut down the South Tacoma branch. Neither option was part of the proposed budget. The proposed library budget of $26 million during the next two years includes $635,000 in facility improvements, such as elevator repairs at the downtown branch, renovations at the South Tacoma and Kobetich branches, $202,000 in upgrades toward automating checkout and returns and $50,000 toward a pilot partnership with Tacoma Public Schools for literacy services at McCarver Elementary School. Library Director Susan Odencrantz said the upswell of support for the libraries was great to see, but noted the budget process

required each department planning for cuts and the library is the only one that had to show cuts publicly because it has its own board of trustees and meetings are public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could never say (the cuts) would never happen,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did what everyone else did. We just had to just do it in public. We were trying to give him a choice. T.C. has always been very supportive of us.â&#x20AC;? She added that the current budget includes renovations and repairs that have been needed for years that finally have dollars to do them. The $269.6 million public safety side of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $460.5 million two-year general fund budget has $154.68 million funding police services and $114.9 million funding the fire department. The 338-officer police department will add a seven-member team that focuses on violence crimes, adding two property crime detectives and two investigators tasked with conducting background checks. The department will also add an animal

it gangs and street violence that drew national attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took 20 years to get through that,â&#x20AC;? Blair said. The police crackdown against cocaine and gangs sent drug users seeking the next new drug that gave rise to the methamphetamine epidemic as the millennium turned. Changes in state law against large purchases of cold medicines followed since those over-the-counter remedies contain the key ingredient in meth. Local meth labs largely disappeared, sending drug addicts yet again on the search for the next high. They found their highs in prescription painkillers, namely oxycontin and other opioids. Tighter controls on pain medication caused the rise of heroin finding its way back into vogue. The drugs of course change, but their effects remain the same: crime and broken lives in the inner city communities and suburbia alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a bedroom community,â&#x20AC;? Blair said, noting that being a bedroom community, however, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save UP from being a sleepy community when it comes to crime. The city handled 7,000 police calls in 1996, the year after it incorporated, and handles about 12,000 a year currently despite the population remaining relatively steady at 32,000 residents. That increase in calls for the 15-officer department doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that crimes have almost doubled, just that resident are reporting more crimes that would otherwise go uninvestigated and have higher demands for police responses. That demand has led to the motto of â&#x20AC;&#x153;no call too smallâ&#x20AC;? while also handling larger crimes that would otherwise seem out of place in a bedroom community.

control officer, a school resource sergeant, a training officer, a latent print examiner, a computer technician and a community relations specialist. The fire department will add four positions to fully staff Squad 15 in East Tacoma, four positions to an aid vehicle crew and two positions for its elder-care program. The new hires and programs will be funded through increased tax generation as the economy improves as well as some higher taxes and fees that range from higher pet licenses (bringing in an additional $200,000) and a three-tiered business license that will generate $3.8 million. Business licenses for small operations will stay $25 a year, while shops making between $12,000 and $250,000 will see their annual license increase by $20, to $110 a year.

University Place officers, for example, participated in a multi-agency sting against underage prostitution last year that netted 10 people. The police task force members posed online as parents who were willing to rent out their children. Investigators posted online advertisements offering up these fictitious children, posts that were online for less than 10 minutes before they were flagged as obscene and automatically removed. But that short time didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop more than 1,000 messages responding to the fake ads, some suspects driving from as far away as Vancouver to have sex with children only to find themselves under arrest on felony charges. UP also has a homeless problem, just like any other city. Homeless encampments spring up along Chambers and Leach Creek as well as in Kobayashi Park. Rather than simply running off illegal homeless campers and tossing all of their worldly possessions into garbage bins, UP officers temporarily store their tents and sleeping bags in the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence locker while connecting the homeless people with resources and social services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to solve the problem,â&#x20AC;? Blair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be easy to just throw away these â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;invisibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people, but that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a solution.â&#x20AC;?

million per year to Click to maintain its operations. The other option floated at the meeting would see the city fund Click from its general fund, a third option that would have both the city and TPU pitching in to cover costs. The TPU route passed with a 3-2 motion from the TPU Board. The plan comes after TPU announced last year to lease the network to a private company, which prompted an outpouring of cries to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Save Clickâ&#x20AC;? as a city asset. The leasing plans were put on hold to allow time for a series of closed-door meetings of a committee of appointed officials and technology experts to research ways to make Click profitable based on

co-mingled accounting practices regarding shared costs between Click and Tacoma Power by expanding its system and increase customers. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;allinâ&#x20AC;? options are a result of these meetings, which could see click offer commercial broadband, broadband, retail Internet and voice over Internet phone services. The Click network is an outgrowth of a fiber optic system originally constructed in the 1990s to help run the power grid and provide its own cable option, while leasing extra space to Internet Service Providers. To many, Click represents an affordable public alternative to the monopoly of large Internet providers, hence why the potential privatization of the service elicited such a big commercial response. Click has always leased

space on the network to ISPs; if the plan should be approved, Click will be in direct competition with those same providers. Critics of the plan cite the potential legality of ratepayers paying for a service they may not use, and the legal responsibilities of making sure customers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing anything illegal on the network. And, of course, being in direct competition with providers on their network, a murky grey area that seems to invite controversy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These relationships go back for years. People have a relationship with a brand, and it means something and it represents equity in a brand and if they destroy these, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem,â&#x20AC;? Advance Stream CEO Mitchell Shook said. The proposal will now move onto the city council in the form of a recommen-

dation, and is expected to go through a public hearing process before being on the agenda sometime this fall. It is of note that University Place falls within the TPU service area but will not get a say in plans moving forward, as the service answers to the Tacoma City Council.

TACOMA BAPTIST SOCCER BACK TO IMPRESSIVE WAYS By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

hings are beginning to get hot and heavy for Tacoma area high school football teams. As the league races now hit the midpoint, several local squads are jockeying for a playoff position in their respective leagues. So far this season, there have been a few surprises to go along with the new league alignments that have significantly changed the football landscape around these parts. It was recently announced that the 4A South Puget Sound League (4A SPSL) will be sending five teams to the playoffs. This bit of news bodes well for the Bellarmine Prep Lions, but doesn’t look like it’s going to help the Curtis Vikings all too much. The Vikings have started the season with arguably the most difficult schedule in entire state. Four of the five opponents Curtis has faced are in, or hovering around, the top-10 rankings in 4A. After opening against the high-flying Puyallup Vikings, Curtis was then tasked with facing state powerhouse Graham Kapowsin, followed by top-ranked Sumner, and then undefeated Olympia, and then week five would have them visit a Bellarmine squad that is still very much in the hunt for the 4A SPSL title, or at least a state playoff berth. For a time, it looked as though the Vikings might finally land themselves a victory as they played Bellarmine to a 14-14 stalemate in the first half on Friday, Sept. 30 at Bellarmine’s Memorial Field. Third quarter touchdown runs by Bellarmine’s Matthew Money and Czarshay Thomas, gave the Lions some breathing room going into the fourth quarter. Curtis would close within a touchdown when Carson Gregg hauled in a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Parker. However, Money’s third touchdown run of the night sealed the deal for Bellarmine (3-1 4A SPSL, 4-1 Overall) in the 35-20 victory over Curtis (0-5, 0-5). On the 3A Pierce County League (PCL) side, it was announced that four teams will receive a berth to the state playoffs. Like the 4A SPSL, the top two teams will host the first round matchup, which looks u See FOOTBALL / page A13

When we last saw the boys’ soccer team from Tacoma Baptist, the Crusaders had fallen to the St. George’s Dragons 2-0 in the 1B/2B state championship game. The Crusaders finished the season with an impressive 16-2 record to go along with their second-place state trophy. Those state championship game losses can make for an exceptionally long off-season, waiting for another opportunity to make a run at the crown. A new season has not only brought back the winning ways for the Crusaders, but it’s also seen an expansion of their ranks as the team now boasts a healthy 20 available players. This is a very impressive number, considering that the Crusaders have moved down to the 1B state classification due to a drop in high school enrollment. They also boast a 5-1-1 record at the midway point of the season, and look bound and determined to make another go at chasing the state championship. As the Crusaders hosted their crosstown rival Evergreen Lutheran Eagles on Monday, Oct. 3, it looked like the sort of day that was text-book Tacoma. The skies threatened to begin a downpour at any moment throughout the match, and the air was heavy with the low-slung clouds hovering above. It would be an early storm of goals that would push the Crusaders to victory in this match that held quite a bit of weight, considering the log-jam at the top of the Sea-Tac 1B League. Tacoma Baptist struck first early as sophomore sensation Daw VonBarnauSythoff took a pass from senior Seth Talen and deposited it into the back of the net just five minutes into the match for a 1-0 Crusader lead. Evergreen Lutheran would tie the game up 18 minutes later when sophomore Ian

SPORTSWATCH SUPER FIGHT LEAGUE 46 LOOKS LIKE A KNOCKOUT

Joey Pierotti has done everything right so far in his professional MMA career. The Enumclaw native will now attempt to stay undefeated when he joins Team Seattle as they take on Team Central Valley California at SFL America: Team Challenge on Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash. Pierotti (3-0) highlights a stellar undercard when he faces fellow unbeaten Richard Brooks (4-0) of Central Valley in a clash of 170 pounders. A graduate of Enumclaw High School, Pierotti captured a state championship during his senior year with the Hornets. He was a state runner-up as a junior, placed second at the Pacific Coast Tournament and was a Northwest Junior Freestyle Regional champion before wrestling collegiately at the University of Wyoming, where he was a criminal justice major. Undefeated as an amateur, Pierotti, who currently works as a fire fighter with the Port of Seattle Fire Department, was the No. 1 ranked amateur welterweight before turning pro. He made his professional MMA debut on Feb. 20 at Super Fight League 46 when he defeated Fay Bursell by rear-naked choke in 1:09 minutes. “Joey is without a doubt one of the most exciting upand-coming fighters in the Pacific Northwest,” promoter Brian Halquist said. “This bout definitely has the chance to steal the show. You have two fighters both looking to stay undefeated and at the same time help their team to a victory.” Brent Knopp (7-1) squares off against Josh Clark (9-3) in a 192-bout main event. Fans may recognize Josh Clark from his time spent on the UFC reality show “The Ultimate Fighter” where he fought on the show’s 19th season with Team Penn. The eight-bout card will feature two preliminary and six Seattle vs. Central Valley bouts, including one female flyweight bout between Seattle’s Liz Tracy (2-1) and Central Valley’s Christine Stanley (5-2). Also appearing on Team Seattle will be undefeated Nathan Stolen (2-0), Dylan Potter (4-1) and Thomas Hoeper (6-2). Tickets are available through the EQC box office and all Ticketmaster outlets. Preliminary bouts start at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Fighters in the team challenge will earn 6 points for a KO, 5 points for a submission victory, 4 points for a TKO, 3 points for a decision and 1 point for a draw with the winning team collecting the most combined points.

PLU WOMEN HOLD STEADY IN NATIONAL SOCCER RANKINGS

The National Soccer Coaches Association of America unveiled its NCAA Division III Top 25 Rankings on Tuesday, Oct. 4 with the Pacific Lutheran University women’s soccer team remaining static at 17th in the week four poll. The Lutes (8-0-2, 5-0-1 Northwest Conference) remain the lone NWC outfit garnering national attention, holding steady at 17 for the second consecutive week while remaining nationally-ranked for the fourth straight poll. PLU earned a pair of 2-0 shutouts on the road last weekend, defeating Pacific University on Saturday and Willamette University on Sunday. The Top 25 Poll saw significant movement at the top with Williams College (8-0-1) unseating William Smith College (9-0) for the No. 1 ranking. William Smith drops to No. 2 while Texas-based Trinity University (9-0) maintains its spot at No. 3. Thomas More College (10-0-1) leaps to No. 4 with Stevens Institute of Technology (9-0) moving up two slots to round out the top five. Within the West Region, the top three remained unchanged. Trinity continues to hold the top spot, followed by PLU at No. 2 and Hardin-Simmons University (8-1) at No. 3. The University of Puget Sound (8-1-1, 5-0-1 NWC) is the only other NWC team in the regional poll, sinking two spots to sixth. The Lutes make the short trek across town on Wednesday, facing Puget Sound in the Battle of the South Sound. Kickoff between the NWC heavyweights is slated for 4 p.m.

PLU OPENS CONFERENCE FOOTBALL ACTION WITH A WIN

Defense ruled the day on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Sparks Stadium with the Pacific Lutheran University football team, limiting Pacific University to a season low point total in the Lutes’ 27-16 victory to open Northwest Conference play. Pacific (1-3, 0-1 NWC) entered Saturday’s game averaging 32.3 points per game. PLU held the Boxers to half of that, yielding just 16 points and allowing just 323 yards of total offense. PLU held running back Kamana Pimental to 51 yards on 20 carries, well below his Pimental 109.6 yards per game coming into the contest. “Our defense played extremely well,” head coach Scott Westering said. “Craig (McCord) has these guys playing and believing in each other. They are playing really well.” It was a total team effort as 11 different Lutes (2-1, 1-0 NWC) had multiple tackles. Travis McMillion led the defense with 13 tackles, an interception and a tipped pass while Carson Ketter had 10 tackles. The offense got off to a fast start by scoring on their first drive of the game. DJ Winter caught a 10-yard pass from Jon Schaub to get the Lutes on the board. The drive lasted seven plays, going 82 yards in 4:23. The defense forced a three and out, leading to a Pacific punt on fourth down. TJ Morris was able to block the punt, giving the Lutes the ball on the eight-yard line. Schaub connected with Kellen Westering on the very next play for an eight-yard score. Westering finished the day with five catches for 66 yards. “We wanted to start off fast,” Westering said. “To be able to put up 14 points on the board in the first quarter was unreal. It’s exciting because our defense is playing lights out. For our offense to finally get it going was huge for us.” Anthony Louthan was a huge help to the PLU defense. Louthan boomed six punts, averaging 40.5 per punt. Louthan’s longest punt was 57 yards, pinning the Boxers inside the 10, one of the sophomore’s two punts parked two punts inside the 10-yard line. Dallan Rodriguez hit two field goals for PLU. Rodriguez hit a 38 yard field goal in the

second quarter and a 29 yarder early in the fourth. “When you have a punter like that, who is able to flip the field. He’s unbelievable,” Coach Westering said. “Dallan made a few field goals for us.” Offensively, Darin Hardgrove had 80 yards on the ground on 11 carries, including a 52 yard scamper for a touchdown to virtually ice the game with 1:41 left in the fourth. Pacific Lutheran hits the road next weekend, facing Willamette University at 1 p.m. in Salem, OR.

PLU WOMEN CRUSH FIELD AT WHITWORTH GOLF INVITATIONAL

Desirae Haselwood secured medalist honors while Jeankie-Jhen Aczon was runner-up as the Pacific Lutheran University women’s golf team steamrolled the field at the Whitworth Invitational ending Monday Oct. 3, winning the team title by a 60-stroke margin. “It was an awesome team effort. Everyone stuck to the game plan and stayed very patient and positive on the course,” said Head Coach Sara Griffin. “Great confidence building event for everyone.” The Lutes had the top two finishers at the four team event while six total PLU student-athletes dotted the top 10. Haselwood won the individual title, shooting a 153 at the 5,857 yard course at the Kalispel Country Club. The senior seized the lead after shooting a 77 on day one before shaving off one stroke on Monday to net the victory. Teammate Aczon was two strokes back in second place, shooting a 155 (78-77). Anela Barber was fourth overall with a 165 (83-82) while Sami Briney (87-85) and Anna Jessen (83-89) tied for sixth, both carding a 172. Madison LaVergne nabbed 10th overall with a 176 (8987) at the two round affair. “So fun to see Desirae get her first win with Jeankie right on her heels. Their leadership both on and off the golf course is amazing. I feel very fortunate to coach these women and we look forward to the Fall Classic this weekend.” The Lutes shot a 325 on Sunday, opening a 30-stroke lead on the field and added further separation on Monday with a 320, carding a 645 for the tournament. Host Whitworth University was a distant second place, finishing 60 strokes back with a 705 (357-348). Pacific University was third with a 718 (355-363) with the University of Puget Sound wrapping up the standings with an 802 (409-393). Pacific Lutheran gears up for round one of the Northwest Conference Fall Classic on Saturday at the Emerald Valley Golf Club in Creswell, Oregon.

LUTE MEN NAB RUNNER-UP AT WHITMAN INVITATIONAL

The Pacific Lutheran University men’s golf team returned to action after a week layoff, finishing runner-up at the Whitman Invitational at Wine Valley Golf Club. Mitchell Baldridge led the way for the Lutes, tying for second place after shooting a one over par 145 for the twoday event. The junior was tied for the lead after round one on Sunday, shooting a 71 before carding a 74 on Monday to secure the runner-up finish. Ryan Sturdivan was seventh overall, carding a 153 (76-77) while Kyle Drugge was just outside the top 10 in 12th with a 156 (80-76). Alex Nelson shot a 157 (77-80) over the two-day event while Thomas Huddleston finished with a 159 (79-80). The Lutes placed second overall as a team at the eightteam event, shooting a 610. PLU shot a 303 on Sunday before carding a 307 on Monday, owning an eight stroke advantage over third place finishers Lewis & Clark College (306-312) and Whitworth University (304-314). George Fox University won the event, shooting a 602 (301-301) while the Bruins’ Alex Plusquellec earned medalist honors after carding a 144, including a four under 68 on Monday to shoot up the leaderboard. PLU returns to action on Saturday, competing at the NWC Fall Classic at the Emerald Valley Golf Club in Salem, OR.

PLU WOMEN COME OUT SWINGING IN FALL TENNIS OPENER

The Pacific Lutheran University women’s tennis squad opened the lid on the 2016-2017 competitive season on Saturday, Oct. 1, competing at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Northwest Regional hosted by Whitman College. In singles, Caroline Dreher bested Linfield College’s Natalie Kelly 6-1, 6-3, in the opening round before netting a 6-4, 5-7, 10-6, decision over George Fox University;s Taylor Barnes in the second round. Dreher’s run came to a halt in the round of 16, dropping a hard fought 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, match to Linfield’s Elsa Harris. Megan Beyers rolled past Linfield’s Courtney Mostul 6-2, 7-5, in the opening round before falling 6-2, 6-2, at the hands of third seed Sarah Tuemmler of George Fox University. Beyers added a 1-6, 6-4, 11-9, comeback win over Pacific University’s Sophia Nishimura in the second round consolation draw before exiting with a 7-6(1), 6-1 setback to Lewis & Clark College’s Chloe Sermet. Emily Bower won her opening match by injury default before falling 6-0, 6-1, in the second round of the main draw. Bowers collected a 1-6, 6-4, 10-6, victory over Linfield’s Kelsey Bartlett in the second round consolation draw and downed Whitman’s Lori Sheng, 6-2, 6-0, to make the semifinals before bowing out to Lewis & Clark’s Tash Hood by a 6-3, 6-0, count. Emily Beemsterboer found success in the consolation bracket, rebounding from setback in the main draw with a 6-0, 6-1, win over Willamette University’s Alexis Gjurasic, before slaying University of Puget Sound’s Lizzy Chao, 4-6, 6-0, 10-8, to roll into the consolation quarterfinals. Beemsterboer met her demise in the quarters, dropping a 6-2, 6-0, decision to Linfield’s Sarah Sweet. In doubles action, Emily Bower and Emily Beemsterboer took down Willamette’s Gjurasic and Mikaila Smith 8-4 in the opening round of the main draw before succumbing 8-1 to second-seeded Hanna Greenberg and Mary Hill of host Whitman in the second round. Caroline Dreher and Megan Beyers were edged 8-5 by Whitworth University’s Erica Lee and Emily Sandquist in the opening round of the main doubles draw before rebounding in the consolation bracket with an 8-2 win over Puget Sound’s Mel Roen and Sarah Salvador. Dreher and Beyers fell 8-0 to eventual consolation winner Kaitlyn Lomartuie and Mal Kobayashi of Pacific in the second round. The Lutes face Division I Seattle University on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 11 a.m. in the final competition of the fall season.

good for the Lincoln Abes. Prior to the 2014 season, Lincoln had not hosted a state playoff game in the modern era of football. Since then, the Abes have hosted five games over the last two seasons, and at the rate they have been performing, it looks as though they could be doing a little home cooking again. The Abes rolled into Stadium Bowl on Friday, Sept. 30 to face the Wilson Rams. Records can always be thrown out the window when these two teams meet, as it’s usually a knock-down, drag-out fight to the final whistle. However, this wasn’t the case this year.

The program’s turnaround under head coach Tom Ford is still in its early stages, but the Tigers are now rolling out a legitimate threat to beat their opponent each week. With superstar running back Jamon Chambers and quarterback Hunter Wendling, the Tigers will not be overlooked by any team for the remainder of the season.

The Cardinals hosted the Fife Trojans on Friday, Sept. 30 and nearly saw a 29-point lead evaporate with seconds left on the clock. Fife scored a touchdown with just 49 seconds left in the game to close to within two points of the Cardinals at 45-43, only to have their two-point conversion fail on a completed pass just a shade out of bounds. Franklin Pierce, Washington (3-1, 4-1) and Fife (3-1, 4-1) all look like shoe-ins for a postseason berth at the moment. The biggest surprise of the weekend also came out of the 2A SPSL as the Steilacoom Sentinels travelled south to face top-ranked Tumwater.

Tacoma Baptist peppered the Eagles’ goal with shot after shot and looked as though they might break the game wide open at any moment. Instead, the score remained 2-1 and every time Evergreen Lutheran threatened to score on the Crusader end, the intensity of the match turned up another notch.

After WIAA realignment this summer, the Crusaders found themselves playing at the 1B classification. So far, the Crusaders have taken to eight-man football like a fish to water as they have bolted to a 5-0 record, and 1-0 mark in the Sea-Tac 1B League. Tacoma Baptist has been hammering their opponents by an average score of 51-8. Don’t be shocked if the Crusaders run the table and enter the state playoffs with a perfect 9-0 mark.

At the season’s midpoint, the Crusaders have begun tweaking their lineup and so far it’s been paying off for Tacoma Baptist. “We started off the season in a little different formation than we are in now,” said Tacoma Baptist head coach Jenna Jones. “After seeing how the puzzle pieces are fitting together, we made an adjustment two games ago. So we’re really proud of the guys, how they came together… staying in the shape that we want, playing as a unit and trusting and being patient. So we saw that in maintaining possession and trying to capitalize on the attacks. It was a good win.”

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

Federal, regional, state and local leaders gathered with the Puyallup Tribal Council last spring to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Joining in on the event were (back row from left): Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon.

The most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians continues to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care of not only its own membership, but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well.

The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,100 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities – approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native – employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 million. This spending supports com-

munities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. From sponsoring local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects

and healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as “the generous people,” the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.” In the following pages, you’ll read more about what a valuable community partner the Puyallup Tribe of Indians is to the region and the state.

SUPPORT FOR OUR NATIVE COMMUNITY

When Gov. Jay Inslee visited the Tribe’s Elders Center on Nov. 30, Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud (right) and elder Len Ferro (left) wrapped him in a Puyallup Tribe Pendleton blanket as a token of thanks and respect.

To the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the word “community” means more than its own membership circle. With more than 4,900 Puyallup tribal members locally and across the country, and an Indian population of more than 24,000 in the tri-county area, the Puyallup Tribe takes great pride in continuing its ancestral ways by caring for Native American people across the board. HEALTHCARE Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) has seen many accomplishments this past year. Below are just a few of the top news stories of 2015. Residency Program. PTHA’s residency program saw the first residents graduating in June. Graduates Brian Nelson and Aaron Rhyner began their residency three years prior and helped build PTHA’s residency program from the ground up. Since the graduation, Dr. Rhyner has been hired on as a full time physician. Accreditations. PTHA continues to prove commitment to quality and excellence in health care by receiving full three-year Accreditation from AAAHC and received additional recognition as an Accredited Medical Home. In addition to AAAHC, PTHA was reviewed by both the AOA (American Osteopathic Association) and COLA (Clinical Laboratory Accreditation) this year, and both received full accreditation with zero deficiencies. Zero Suicide Program. Puyallup Tribal Health Authority is committed to transforming health care and changing public perception of suicide to help reduce the number of suicide deaths. A team of people from several Puyallup Tribal entities implemented the Zero Suicide model in the Puyallup Tribe community. The Zero Suicide program sets a basis for prevention of all suicide deaths through improved care and a commitment to patient safety. Taking a continued quality improvement approach and providing long-term follow up are some of the ways this team continues to work

As PTHA resident doctors Brian Nelson and Aaron Rhyner prepared for the formal graduating ceremony the Tribe gave them, they were dressed in the traditional way.

toward moving the community to Zero Suicide deaths in the future. Smoke-free Campus. PTHA became a smoke-free campus, which has had many benefits not only in promoting wellness in the community, but also decreasing drug activity by removing smoking enclosures, modeling healthy behavior to our youth, improving campus appearance and encouraging patients to quit smoking. Puyallup Tribal Member Events. Puyallup tribal members enjoyed days dedicated specifically for them during “School Days, Healthy Ways” and the four “Honoring Our Elders” days throughout the year. ELDERS Elder care is a top priority for the Tribe, with nearly $4.4 million spent in 2015 on elder care services. The Tribe’s beautiful House of Respect Elders Center – a $13 million facility opened in 2009 – stands as testament to the Puyallups’ deeply held reverence for their elder membership. The center, located on a historically significant site above the Puyallup River, offers a variety of health and recreational options for Puyallup elders over 45 years old, and holds a monthly luncheon at which one elder is chosen for special honoring. YOUTH The Tribe works to proactively instill positive values in its young members as early as possible through several important means: t Puyallup Tribal Community Center. This 34,000square-foot facility includes a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility also accommodates gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals and cultural activities. The Tribe partners with Junior Achievement to offer financial education to the youth, which is now held at the Tribal Community Center for two weeks during the summer.

t Chief Leschi Schools. Providing a Native-focused academic environment for children in pre-kindergarten through high school, Chief Leschi Schools serves Native American students from more than 60 different tribes with current enrollment of approximately 950 pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students. As one of the largest Bureau of Indian Education (BIA) schools constructed in the nation, the 200,000-square-foot school is intended to be a model for Native American programs around the country. t Grandview Early Learning Center. During 2015, Grandview Early Learning Center served 142 families and 247 children, providing quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community. t Education Opportunities. For youth and adults wishing to seek higher education after high school, or earn their general equivalency degree (GED), the Puyallup Tribe ensures that funding is available for tuition assistance, books, tutoring and more. HOUSING The Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority (PNHA) strive to provide safe, sanitary, and comfortable homes for Puyallup Tribal members living in the Puyallup Nation’s service area. During 2015 PNHA provided housing assistance to more than 150 households. The families served represent 337 individuals. All units are kept fully occupied and few vacancies occurred during 2015. The PNHA owns and operates 135 housing units, which are a mix of single-family homes, apartments, and duplexes. In addition to the units owned by the Tribe, PNHA maintained 30 Rental Assistance Vouchers, formerly known as Section-8, where units are rented on behalf of eligible tribal members and the rental payments are made to the property owners.

DEF LEPPARD LETS IT ROLL AT TACOMA DOME

PHOTOS BY BILL BUNGARD

POUR SOME SUGAR. Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott (top left) with bassist Rick Savage and guitarist Phil Collen (top right.) Adding support last week at the Tacoma Dome were REO Speedwagon (lower left) and Tesla. By Justin Gimse

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

hen Def Leppard released “Pyromania” in 1983, I was 10 years old and immediately awestruck by this twin-guitar band from England. It was also back in the early years of MTV (the “M” stands for music), and you couldn’t go 45 minutes without seeing another Def Leppard video. It was a great time to be alive. I have purchased nearly every release by the band over the years, but in the 30 years since witnessing them for the first time on MTV, I had never seen them live. When offered the opportunity to check them out and write a review, it was one of those snap decisions that didn’t even involve thought. It’s just a given, like asking me whether I would like a piece of chocolate cake. Of course I do, you don’t even need to ask. I headed down to the Tacoma Dome on Saturday, Oct. 1, prepared for anything. I’ve seen several older acts over the years that were quite a far cry from their heyday. The songs had gotten slower. Some numbers were played in a different tune so the singer can still handle the lyrics. On a few occasions, it nearly brought the wrong kind of tears to my eyes. This wasn’t going to be one of those shows. The boys kicked the show off with “Let’s Go,” the lead track off of their most recent, self-titled album. I hadn’t heard it yet, and it sounded like pure Leppard. Having gotten the crowd’s attention, the band kicked into “Animal” from the “Hysteria” album. At this point, I could tell that

the band was already feeling it, and the audience reaction was a big pop. One of my favorite opening riffs to any song is from “Let it Go” from Leppard’s “High ‘n’ Dry” album. This would kick off song three, and I now found myself beginning to feel like that kid again, watching them on the television. The band followed up with “Dangerous,” the second track off their new album and it did the job just right. Up next, the band tackled “Foolin’” from “Pyromania.” Since it has long been one of my favorites, I had wondered whether they would tackle the song. The vocals by Joe Elliott involved some serious high-end screaming back in the day, and as everyone knows, Father Time plays no favorites when it comes to that much wear and tear on the vocal chords. While Elliott laid back a bit on the high-end stuff at the Tacoma Dome, his bandmates actually came through with heavier vocals that made the song happen just the way it should. “Love Bites” from “Hysteria” was up next and it was time to slow things down. Back in the day, the crowd would have been a sea of lighters in the air, paying tribute to the band. That doesn’t happen in 2016. Instead, it was a sea of cell phones lit up and pointed toward the band. I may be a little too old school, but something about that just doesn’t wash right with me. However, the song was phenomenal. Things picked back up with “Armageddon It” next. This song reminded me of just how huge their album “Hysteria” was back in 1987 and following. Nearly every song off the album was released as a single, and charted in America. They followed it up with the David Essex cover of “Rock

On.” I’ll have to admit, it’s one of my least favorite songs ever, but the band really put a hard-edged, stomp feel to the song that lifted it up quite a bit. Up next was a heavy, punchy “Rocket” from “Hysteria,” followed by “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak,” from “High ‘n’ Dry,” which is probably my all-time favorite number by the band. They nailed it to the wall. The band pulled another number from back in the day with “Switch 625” and by this time, the crowd was absolutely electric. The title track from “Hysteria” was next and the band captured the dynamic highs and lows of the tune perfectly. The band rounded out the night with “Let’s Get Rocked” from their album “Adrenalize,” followed by “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” It was the song that owned the summer of 1988, and it still felt just as tasty in 2016. The two encore numbers were “Rock of Ages” and “Photograph” from “Pyromania.” The musicianship and stage presence by this band totally blew me away. It’s hard to believe that they’ve been going at it for over 35 years. I’d see them again in a heartbeat. Opening the show was Tesla. While I wasn’t much of a fan back in the day, I have to say that the band puts together a heavy and tight 40-minute set. Lead singer Jeff Keith was working the crowd for all it’s worth and it was obvious that he was having a blast up there. The feature act was REO Speedwagon. I was really blown away by Speedwagon. They were way more rocking live than I had anticipated, and to be honest, the Tacoma Dome crowd seemed to give them as much love as the headliners to follow.

THE THINGS WE LIKE ONE LATIN FEST “Día de la Raza” is a free, family friendly showcase of Latin music, dance, art and culture that will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Karshner Museum for Culture & Arts, 309 Fourth St. NE, in Puyallup.

Some of the most remarkable images in the show derive from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black is Beautifulâ&#x20AC;? affirmation that became a slogan of racial pride beginning in the 60s. Artists like Rashid Johnson, with his photo portraits of proud individuals possessed of their own nobility, bring the point home. This same celebration of the beauty of African American people is central to show-stopper Kehinde Wileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleep,â&#x20AC;? a colossal painting of a young African American man in peaceful repose modeled after a baroque image of the Christ of the Pieta. Wiley is one of the artists du jour of the contemporary art world and it is easy to see why. His juxtaposition of African American models (often people taken off the street and painted in their daily dress) and baroque heroic and religious settings is striking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 Americansâ&#x20AC;? is a lament over the legacy of slavery and racism, a celebration of African American life and a reveling in the artistic discovery of beauty all rolled into one big display. The exhibit runs through Jan. 15, 2017. For further information visit TacomaArtMuseum.org.

Tacoma Art Museum just unveiled a new show of contemporary African American art called â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 Americansâ&#x20AC;? (although the work of 31 artists is represented). The exhibit is a lavish, freewheeling tour de force of art from the collection of the Miami-based Rubell family, perhaps the foremost collectors of African American art today. Traveling, and ever evolving, â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 Americansâ&#x20AC;? has been shown at museums around the eastern half of the country since the beginning of the Obama administration in 2008. The TAM iteration of the collection is the first and only showing west of the Mississippi. If anything, the show feels more relevant now than when it began, with the advent of the Black Lives Matter movement and the specter of racism that haunts the current political atmosphere. Much of the work is raw, individual artistic expression like the works of the late Jean-Michel Basquiat, a friend and collaborator of Andy Warhol. There is, however, much that addresses social, economic and political concerns more specific to portions of the African American community. Some of this social commentary is subtly disturbing, like the grotesque and erotic silhouettes of Kara

Come view our collection, visit our exhibits and hear our talks about Willits Canoes. This event is free with paid admission to the Foss Waterway Seaport maritime museum. For half a century Earl and Floyd Willits built some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest canoes in Tacoma on Day Island. Turning out approximately 20 canoes a year, carefully logging and numbering each one, the brothers emphasized quality and design rather than volume. Willits Brothers Canoes earned a reputation that enabled the tiny company to compete successfully with businesses much larger, leaving a name and legacy, which is still admired by canoe aficionados today. Owners will display their Willits Canoes and accessories and be on hand to chat with museum visitors about these beautiful vessels that are so important to our local boating history. Come explore our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extraordinary maritime heritage. Learn how the people, boats and industries that built the heart of Tacoma have shaped our future and changed the way we view the treasures of Puget Sound. A visit to the Foss Waterway Seaport lets you experience the sights, sounds and classic beauty of our historic building, maritime exhibits, Heritage Boat Shop, educational classroom and views off our waterfront esplanade. The Seaport offers exhibits and hands-on activities for a wide range of ages. Bring the entire family for a day to remember.

LAUGHING ALLOWED?!

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;THE LAST LAUGHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; EXAMINES HOW FAR IS TOO FAR WHEN IT COMES TO JOKING ABOUT TABOO TOPICS to determine the level of amusement for themselves, as there is no clear indicator on how to best judge the jokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Holocaust itself is not funny. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing funny about it. But survival, and what it takes to survive, there can be humor in that, â&#x20AC;&#x153; says film director Rob Reiner. The audience can expect to leave with many different viewpoints about peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal taste of humor, but no ultimate answer regarding what is in â&#x20AC;&#x153;good tasteâ&#x20AC;? considering the comedic talents canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree on limitations or tasteful comedy, giving an excellent example of free speech and opinion-forming in a continuously-offended society. â&#x20AC;?You have to remember the screams, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in the shadows,â&#x20AC;? says Feuerstein, who apparently sees Holocaust jokes as a way of healing and shedding light on a dark subject. By concluding with memories of her last afternoon before deportation, what you will get is a brief history lesson and personal experience that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soften the hardship behind the comedy.

Are there things we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t joke about? 9/11? AIDS? The Holocaust? At what point does humor stop being funny? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Laugh,â&#x20AC;? directed by Ferne Perlstein, aims to answer all of these questions as A-List comedians like Sarah Silverman and Mel Brooks join other comedians and Holocaust survivors to discuss the boundaries of comedy. The cast is out to reflect shows, movies and the shock value of statements like â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into ovensâ&#x20AC;? made by late comedian Joan Rivers regarding model Heidi Klumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dress. The central questions of determining barsetters for topics, â&#x20AC;&#x153;good tasteâ&#x20AC;? of jokes, and people in the position to make jokes about tragedies like the Holocaust are at the heart of this 90-minute documentary. The audience meets 91-year-old Auschwitz survivor and anti-genocide activist Renee Feuerstein during an afternoon tea in an abandoned Nazi bunker. Viewers will follow her throughout the documentary as she addresses Holocaust jokes with a variety of different people. Feuerstein is seen doing dishes, eating lunch, watching comedy routines about Nazi death camps, and attending a Holocaust survivor meeting while sharing stories about how Josef Mengele advised her to get her tonsils removed during a â&#x20AC;&#x153;medical examination,â&#x20AC;? assuming she would survive Auschwitz. While opportunities for humor about the man who killed Feuersteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister are rare, she can acknowledge the insanity of the situation and have a laugh. Despite her first-hand experience, Feuerstein isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to joke about situations she and other survivors found themselves in and will stand up to disagreement with other Holocaust survivors who fail to see the humor in jokes at their expense.

TOO SOON? Mel Brooks is among the comedians that tackle taboo topics in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Laugh.â&#x20AC;?

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socially acceptable to make jokes about oppressors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Nazi jokes are hardly shocking in this day and age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once the jokes target the victims, the controversy of freedom of speech, comedy, and self-censorship for the sake of â&#x20AC;&#x153;good tasteâ&#x20AC;? is stirred up. Sarah Silverman, who considers herself culturally Jewish, frequently finds herself the target of anti-Semitic attacks. In this film, she is shown during her standup show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus Is Magicâ&#x20AC;? saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Holocaust would never have happened if black people lived in Germany in the 1930s and 40s â&#x20AC;Ś Well, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened to Jews.â&#x20AC;? While â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Laughâ&#x20AC;? cast provides a broad range of answers regarding

the difficulties of making personal and offensive jokes, it is up to the audience to decide the personal boundaries of what is funny. Although an overload of comedians is at work for this documentary, it often seems lengthy and requires the audience to focus on keeping up with the conversations that jump back and forth throughout. Someone looking for a chuckle should consider a different movie as the jokes featured donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even seem to strike Feuerstein as especially comedic as she is seen watching YouTube videos deeming some jokes funny and others tasteless, often without any real explanation for the ranking. The audience is challenged

MUSICAL MURAL. Tacoma artist Teddy Haggarty will be on hand at the

Oct. 14 dedication of his new mural at Jazzbones. The venue will also host a benefit concert to help Haggarty with dialysis treatments. "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve visited Jazzbones in recent months, you may have noticed that something was slightly off. You may not have been able to put your finger on what was different immediately, like seeing an old friend the day after laser eye surgery; but eventually you homed in on it, perhaps moments after Monkeywrench finished onstage: the walls. For 15 years, a menagerie of psychedelic animals adorned the Sixth Avenue hot spotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east wall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a gator, a snake, a unicorn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mural painted by South Sound artist Teddy Haggarty; but those critters disappeared months ago after a string of noise complaints drew scrutiny from the City of Tacoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best solution we had was to soundproof the Anderson Street side of the building, and by doing that, we had to build another wall, maybe four feet in front of that wall,â&#x20AC;? Jazzbones Manager Rachel Hogan recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insulation. So the mural is still there; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another wall in front of it.â&#x20AC;? Haggartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mural was an essential part of Jazzbonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aesthetic, and Hogan said patrons

noticed. But soon, on Oct. 14, the venue will host a concert to celebrate the installation of new artwork that Haggarty, a mainstay of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art community, has been working on. Nine wooden panels currently reside at the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Lakewood. The new mural will span 40 feet once installed, a surreal collection of skeletons, mermaids and other creatures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under black light, the florescent colors glow,â&#x20AC;? Haggarty explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From any angle when you look at this, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a new painting. The eyes should follow you around when you make eye contact with the characters; and the mermaids are all thinking about something â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably music. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sirens.â&#x20AC;? Next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show will also double as a benefit for Haggarty who suffered life-threatening complications during surgery in November while in the midst of creating the new piece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suffered massive kidney failure in a surgery to remove my toe,â&#x20AC;? said Haggarty, who suffers from diabetes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They took my toe off. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if they really needed to; and then while they had me ... they decided to explore my lungs. They cut stuff, and I nearly bled to death.â&#x20AC;? Proceeds from next

weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show will go to Haggarty who has had to undergo expensive dialysis treatments for nearly a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a drag to get your blood sucked out of you and dumped back into you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primitive, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big ripoff.â&#x20AC;? Performing will be local singer-songwriter James Hunnicutt; the Hillbaileys, featuring former Swiss Tavern owner Bob Hill; popular Tacoma indie-rock family band, Pig Snout; and Old Foals, a rock duo that comprised of Pig Snoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Justin Tamminga and Jason Locking, formerly of Pioneers West. Haggarty will be on hand to talk about the new installation, and there will also be a silent auction that includes glass work, a bike and more. The fun starts at 6:30 p.m., and the show will be open to all ages. Tickets are $5 in advance, $7 the day of the show. For further details, visit www. jazzbones.com.
