UWT WELCOMES STUDENTS AT FESTIVE 2015 CONVOCATION PUYALLUP TRIBAL CHAIRMAN OFFERS PRAYER IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHOSE LIVES WERE LOST AT UMPQUA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com
The outdoor plaza at University of Washington-Tacoma was the center of excitement on Oct. 2, as the university’s fourth annual Convocation welcomed students to university life. Convocation is a traditional event to symbolize the importance of university-community partnerships, and is celebrated with a procession, welcome ceremony and community fair afterward with vendor tables featuring local businesses and nonprofits showcasing what downtown Tacoma has to offer. The event kicked off with groups
of students and their families, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the community marching to the Convocation site from three points: University Y Center, Museum of Glass and Broadway Center. Accompanied by the drum lines from Lincoln High School and Curtis High School, the lively procession got everyone fired up as the marchers converged on the campus plaza. Lincoln’s Director of Instrumental Music Peter Briggs sang a most impressive “Star Spangled Banner,” then UWT Chancellor Mark Pagano opened the welcome ceremony. “Convocation is a coming together. It’s a welcome to those
new to campus and to those coming back to campus,” Pagano said. “It’s a chance to anticipate the year ahead… to affirm our mission as an urbanserving university. …We would not exist without our community. The multitudes of organizations and individuals that choose to collaborate with us are what make UW Tacoma the institution it is today. That’s been the case for 25 years, since our founding. With the start of the new academic year, we start our 26th year as a place dedicated to transformation.” With the Umpqua Community College shooting weighing on u See UWT / page A3

RALLY STANDS UP AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE By Steve Dunkelberger
stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Tacomans attended the city’s third annual rally against domestic violence last Friday to mark the beginning of Tacoma’s effort to support national Domestic Violence Awareness month through October. It is estimated that one in three people will experience some form of domestic violence in their lifetime. This year’s theme is
“Building Community Through Cultural Awareness” as a way to raise awareness about societal and cultural aspects of abuse. “This happens every single day, every single hour, every single minute,” City Councilmember Vitoria Woodards said. This year’s focus is COURAGE to End Domestic Violence, not just through education and advocacy, but through action to end and prevent the many u See RALLY / page A9

LIZ ROCKS
By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
The early years of Tacoma’s growth around the turn of the last century saw strips of small businesses on street level storefronts with the proprietors living above their shops. That practice largely disappeared with the advent of suburban living, shopping malls and chain stores. But that past could be part of Tacoma’s future as the City Council primes to approve a set of zoning and business license changes that
CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISES FOR ROCK WALL AT POINT DEFIANCE IN HONOR OF LIZ DALEY By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Point Defiance Park’s master plan is looking to transform the area into an attraction that will keep people coming to the City of Destiny for years to come. These changes range from typical things like new walking paths and better boating options, but for the Liz Rocks Campaign, a plan to bring a rock wall to the park is a much more personal vision.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK
N. 'K' and N. 5th Street
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. While that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. 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.

Bulletin Board TACOMA POWER TO BUILD COMMUNITY SOLAR PROJECT Tacoma Power will build Pierce County’s first community solar project early next year. Electric customers who want to invest in solar energy can register now at TacomaPower.com/CommunitySolar to buy solar units when they go on sale in early 2016. Community solar, a more affordable way to invest in solar energy, does not require home ownership, a loadbearing roof or the high cost of installing solar panels. Tacoma Power will build the 75-kilowatt project, and customers will fully fund it. Customers who buy solar units for $100 each will receive an annual Washington state solar production incentive payment, as well as payment for the electricity produced from the project. The expected payback period is about four years. The state’s solar energy incentive ends in 2020, so building the project now will help customers take advantage of the incentive. The community solar project adds to Tacoma Power’s already-extensive list of renewable energy; all of the power the utility produces is renewable hydropower. Nearly all of the power purchased from the Bonneville Power Administration is renewable as well. The project will feature solar panels and inverters manufactured in Washington state. CITIZENS INVITED TO COMMENT ON BILLBOARD REGULATIONS The City of Tacoma is exploring alternatives to its existing billboard regulations. The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 5 p.m. in the Tacoma Municipal Building Council Chambers (747 Market St., 1st Floor) to receive public comment on proposed billboard regulations. At the request of the Tacoma City Council, the Planning Commission has developed these proposed billboard regulations. The proposal would amend the Tacoma Municipal Code to create an exchange program in which new billboards would be allowed in certain areas in exchange for removing non-conforming billboards. As proposed, the program would expand the areas where billboards would be allowed, reduce some development standards, incentivize removals from certain sensitive areas, and require removal or correction of all non-conforming billboards within five years. For more information, visit cityoftacoma.org/planning and click on Billboard Regulations or contact Principal Planner John Harrington at jharring@cityoftacoma.org or call (253) 279-8950. FAMILIES INVITED TO ORTING PUMPKIN FEST AND HARVEST CELEBRATION The Ninth Annual Orting Pumpkin Fest will take place on Saturday, Oct. 10 in the City of Orting. Once again, the festivities are located in the heart of town in the Orting City Park. The Orting Pumpkin Fest is a food-oriented festival modeled after similar events in California, Ohio and Canada. It’s a joint effort of the City of Orting, Tacoma Events Commission, Orting Valley Farmers Market and community sponsors. Our mission is to celebrate, promote and enhance community spirit and pride with an affordable, fun and family-oriented festival. The festival is primarily a food festival that features items prepared with pumpkin as a main ingredient. The food booths will be run by professional vendors and by local not-for-profit groups working to raise funds for community projects. Besides lots of good food, the event will include live entertainment (see below) on two stages, art & craft booths, commercial booths, local farmers market, free bus tours of local farms, rod and custom car show, games, bounce houses, activities for children, Point Defiance Pirates and the Little Pumpkin Pals Parade at noon. The Orting Valley Farmers Market will present local Farms and more at the Orting Station building during Pumpkin Fest, including local wine, honey, produce, locally roasted coffee, plants, and more. Be sure to stop in and pick up great items to take home. A free tour to Chipping Twig Farm also awaits you this year at Pumpkin Fest. Transportation is provided, so head to the pick up area for your ride to the farm. You will experience the diversity of Chipping Twig Farm: a wide variety of berries, nuts, ornamentals and seasonal produce are cultivated there. Their goal: high-quality, sensibly grown produce and useful and interesting handmade items for you. A great family friendly opportunity. Wear appropriate footwear for a farm visit and please leave animals at home.

GANG REDUCTION PROJECT RECEIVES FEDERAL GRANT The City of Tacoma has received a $240,953 grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention to fund the Tacoma Gang Reduction Project program that works with Tacoma’s gang impacted youth, families and communities to reduce youth violence and gang activity. The grant will be used to further the Project’s mission and will be used to tailor services for identified ganginvolved youth who are between the ages of 14 and 24, conduct additional outreach to neighborhoods with higher incidents of gang violence through revitalization and mobilization and conduct gang awareness trainings in the community, as well as working with the Tacoma Police Department to increase and promote suppression activities. “I am thrilled that our groundbreaking work to build better lives and stronger communities for our youth is now being supported by the federal government,� said Tacoma City Councilwoman Victoria Woodards, who also serves as the Chairwoman for the Project Committee. The Project was established in 2012 after the City completed the Tacoma Gang Assessment in 2011. The Project has six programs that work with the community to increase prevention, intervention and suppression, as well as address the assessment’s four key findings. “The assessment told us that we have five neighborhoods that are disproportionately impacted by gangs, that involvement in gangs facilitates access to weapons and drugs,� Woodards said. “Our Gang Project is based on the Federal Model and we are seeing that our efforts are working to address the four issues.� The other two key findings in the assessment are that gang recruitment of youth begins in middle school and that there are gaps in the information and data the City has about gangs. Currently, there are 130 of youth involved in the program’s #CO-OPP Intervention program, and the project has served over 1,000 youth through all of its efforts. “This grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency will help us continue to decrease gang involvement by youth in Tacoma and increase our outreach efforts to better provide opportunity for our community members,� Woodards added. For more information about the Tacoma Gang Reduction Project, contact Melissa Cordeiro, the project’s coordinator, at (253) 591-5155 or go online to cityoftacoma.org/ tacomagangproject. CITY TO HOLD FIRST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONFERENCE In recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness in October, the City of Tacoma invites the community to the City’s first Domestic Violence Awareness Conference on Oct. 29. The all-day conference will be at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. Registration is open at cityoftacoma.org/COURAGE. The conference will feature keynote speakers Carolyn West, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Washington and Randy Carroll, Police Chief (Ret.) who is the president of PROFECTUS, LLC, a company that provides consultation and training to law enforcement agencies and executives on issues related to violence against women, and organizational culture and change. Residents can also participate from their home by tuning into TV Tacoma. Throughout the month domestic violence service providers and services will be featured on Tacoma Report and CityLine, which is available on Click! and Comcast in Tacoma and Pierce County or online at cityoftacoma.org/TVTacoma. ARTWORK TO BE DEDICATED ALONG THEA FOSS ESPLANADE “Floating Life Forms,� new artwork by Tacoma artist Ed Kroupa, will be dedicated on Oct. 15, from 5-6 p.m., on the Thea Foss Esplanade (1515 Dock St. behind the Esplanade Condos). The artwork, a series of six bronze spheres depicting stylized, intertwined lifeforms native to the Puget Sound, including octopus, harbor seals and sea stars, was commissioned by the Tacoma Arts Commission's Public Art: In Depth program. The program trains established local artists to create public art. “‘Floating Life Forms’ speaks to our interdependence with aquatic life and healthy ecosystems, and encourages public interaction,� said Su Dowie, executive director of the Foss Waterway Development Authority. “It will be a stunning addition to the public esplanade.� The Thea Foss Esplanade is a linear public space and park that lines the west edge of the Foss Waterway. “Floating Life Forms� will be the newest in a series of public artworks that span the walkway. More information about Ed Kroupa is available at 2ravensstudio.com/ed/ProFolio/. More information about the Foss Waterway Development Authority is available at theafoss.com.

everyone’s mind, Pagano introduced Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud first among the speakers so that he could give a traditional Native welcome and blessing. Sterud is himself a former Husky, having attended the University of Washington in Seattle. “I’d like to welcome you all to the Puyallup Reservation,” he said as the crowd cheered in response. “This is our home and has been for thousands of years. Welcome.” He then prayed to “Grandfather” in the Native way, providing the voice of remembrance and honor for those whose lives were lost during the Umpqua tragedy, and just about everyone in the huge crowd bowed their head and prayed right along with him. Grandfather, thank you for listening to our thoughts and pleas today. We ask for your help as we welcome new students at this beautiful campus. We ask for your help and guidance as our young people take their place in society. Grandfather, thank you for the elders. Thank you for the parents, families, relatives, friends and faculty who have guided these students to this new stage in their lives. Grandfather, today we mourn the senseless tragedy that took place in our sister state of Oregon. Words cannot express the grief and
t Liz Rocks From page A1
The Liz Rocks Campaign is named after Liz Daley, a professional mountain climber, snowboarder and Tacoma local who lost her life in a snowboarding accident in September 2014. The group is hoping to raise enough money to construct a rock/bouldering wall at Point Defiance to dedicate to Daley. “Liz was an incredible friend of so many in this community. She had a huge following of friends around the world, and she was a really inspiring person to us all in the way that she lived her life. She was one of the most incredible people many of us have ever met,” Liz Rocks Campaign Tacoma Metro Parks Liaison Brady Bekker said. The group is made up of Daley’s friends and family, who want to put something together for her after her passing last year. “We want to share what an impact she had. Even knowing her for 30 minutes, you got this sense of joy. With her passing, we were all super devastated but wanting to do something to continue to celebrate her life and give something back to Tacoma in
Also addressing the crowd were Tacoma Deputy Mayor David Boe, who also serves
on the UW Tacoma Urban Studies Advisory Board, and Sophie Nop, president of Associated Students of the University of Washington Tacoma. “Education is a priority for our city because it raises the quality of life for all of our citizens,” Boe said. “We support this university, our region’s public university, not only because we care about your future, but because the knowledge and skill you take into our city, our state and beyond will benefit us all in many different ways.” Nop told the students that being part of the UW family changes lives. “You may not realize it now, but your life will change immensely in this following year. You will have a greater impact than you realize, because of the deep connections we have with our community.” In closing the Convocation, students stepped forward to receive their UWT pins from a number of noted Tacoma civic, political and business leaders including Port Commissioner Connie Bacon, Sen. Steve Conway (WA-29), Rep. Melanie Stambaugh (WA-25), and Director of the Washington State History Museum Jennifer Kilmer, among others. “Students, please take the pin that you are about to receive and let it remind you of the UW Tacoma community of which you are now an integral part,” Pagano said. “As you wear this pin, remember that it represents a commitment you have made with us and that we have made with you. We are all truly here for each other.”
her honor that would open doors for future generations for potential climbers who may not have any other entry point to the sport and maybe fall in love with the sport,” Bekker said. The group is hoping to raise $145,000 for the wall, and in a little over six months have been able to collect $75,000 from various fundraisers, including the recent Liz Rocks Your Socks Off event, which Bekker and company plans to make an annual event for next year. It was Daley’s commitment of spirit that gives the group the motivation to follow through with the project. When she graduated college, she followed her heart and explored the world, not only becoming a renowned rock climber but also an up and coming snowboarder. “She really didn’t follow this typical path in life that people think they should. She chased her dream essentially,” Liz Rocks Campaign Director Krystle Edwards said. The group is working with Metro Parks Tacoma to develop a plan for the wall. They are examining possible designs for the wall throughout the 2016 year, and hope to possibly break ground in 2017. The Liz Rocks Campaign is looking to solicit help from the public for what they would like to see in the design, and how best it can be used
by everyone in the city. “We would like [public] input on what this could look like and what not only design could come out of it, but also what kind of partnerships we could leverage,” Bekker said. One possible idea Edward’s has is to establish a veteran’s climbing group right here in Tacoma. “I would like to get some sort of veteran based climbing group,” Edwards said. “They can come to the rock and have an outlet in the Tacoma area that’s accessible to them and free.” The wall would be a physical manifestation of the way Daley lived her life, hopefully inspiring Tacomans to branch out and try something new. “I think that is really kind of the core driving force of the project, to create a space where people can have that same experience – that entry point to seeing life that way, to potentially having a door open to them for the outdoors, and experience a transformative experience that mountain climbing and being out in nature can bring to people,” Bekker said.

JURY CONVICTS MAN OF MURDER IN CAR THEFT RETALIATION A jury convicted Christopher William Olsen, 34, of murder in the first degree on Oct. 5 for a 2014 shooting in Fredrickson that killed Robert Ward, 24. Olsen is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 23 at 1:30 p.m. in room 207 of the County-City Building in Tacoma. “Deputy Prosecutors Tim Lewis and Sean Waite worked hard with sheriff ’s detectives to convict the defendant, who was a serious threat to public safety,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. On Feb. 16, 2014, Olsen told his friends that Ward had stolen a truck from him, and he asked them where he could find Ward. Olsen’s plan was to lure Ward to a phony drug deal and ambush him. Later that night, Ward arrived in the parking lot at Canyon Road and 176th Street for the drug deal. Olsen pulled in behind Ward and began firing shots at him. Ward attempted to drive away, but Olsen chased him and continued firing from a pickup truck. One of the bullets struck Ward in the head, causing him to crash his car. He was transported to the hospital, where he died the next day. Using cell phone records, Pierce County Sheriff’s detectives tracked Olsen to Idaho and arrested him.

ATTEMPED THEFT Pierce County Sheriff’s deputies are attempting to identify the suspects responsible for an attempted theft at a bank. At 6:35 a.m. on Sunday, August 9, 2015, two unidentified suspects attempted to steal cash from the night deposit box at the Umpqua Bank branch located in the 11800 block of Canyon Rd. E. in Puyallup. The suspects placed a glue covered card in the night deposit box door, then used
fishing line to lower the glue trap into the deposit box. The female suspect tried multiple times to pull out the trap and retrieve cash deposits from inside the box. The first suspect appears to be a white female in her 20’s, with a slender build and brown hair. She was seen wearing black hoodie with “Pink” across the chest and two white stripes around the sleeves above the elbows. The second suspect Fridays at 10:30pm on
appears to be a white male in his 20’s, with a medium build, brown shaved hair, and possibly had a goatee/
mustache. He was seen wearing a black track jacket with white strip from collar to cuffs on sleeves.

Our View
STREETS NEED REPAIRS BUT CITY HAS FEW OPTIONS Tacoma has had problems with its roads for years, and decades of taxes for infrastructure repairs and improvements has failed to keep up with the need. The troubles became worse over the years by spending dollars on other things in hopes that the troubles would solve themselves. They didn’t. They got worse – much worse. Years passed. Many residential roads crumpled and became minefields of pits, potholes and deep cracks because they were simply too far gone to patch and the city lacked the available dollars to rebuild the streets. Crews spent their limited time, and more limited dollars, patching roads that still could be saved rather than tackle the more costly rebuilds of once-concrete streets that looked more like gravel roadways than city streets. The Great Recession hit, making matters worse. Efforts to fund street repairs through a 2 percent gross earnings tax on utilities that would have generated $10 million a year for roadwork failed to sway voters in 2013. And here we are today. Voters face two propositions to make Tacoma’s streets better. Proposition 3 would levy a 1.5 percent utility tax on power, natural gas and phone service as well as a 20-cent-per-$1,000 in property value to raise $130 million over the next decade. Proposition 4, proposed under the City Council’s hat shuffle as the city’s Transportation Benefit District Board, would add a one-tenth of one percent to the city’s sales tax and raise $45 million during the next 10 years. That new flow of roadrepair cash would combine with $3 million a year from the city’s general fund and existing car tab fees, $120 million in projected matching grants to total an estimated $425 million for roadwork during the next decade. Both packages could cost each Tacoman roughly $7.50 a month. Something needs to be done, certainly. Proposition 3 seems to make more sense than Proposition 4, which would add to an already high sales tax and create a higher cost for lower income residents, who spend more of their paychecks on taxable purchases than those Tacomans of more wealthy means. Proposition 4 would only bring in 10 percent of the decade-long total if projections hold true. Proposition 4, therefore, seems less gain for the most pain than its sibling. That said, the sibling propositions are much smaller than the undefined plan Mayor Marilyn Strickland hinted at during her State of the City address earlier this year that called for a $500 million package that would come at a cost of $15 a month per resident. The details of how that plan would work were never fully detailed before being abandoned for the current packages, which would sunset after 10 years. The city has promised periodic accountings of funding and projects as a way to show residents that the packages they are being called to approve actually pay for projects outlined in the roads repair plans because, let’s face it – residents don’t trust political promises made to gain their votes, especially when they are being asked to bail out city coffers that were plagued with fund shuffling for pet projects for decades. But we’re in the situation we are in, and blaming long-past decisions won’t fix the streets. And there are few options to fund road repairs. So with that, they should get your vote, although adding to the city’s sales tax for a marginal gain raises concern.

CUSTOMER SERVICES BUILDING IS AN EASY DECISION By Ron Klein
On Nov. 3, Pierce County voters have an opportunity to save millions of dollars, make it easier to take care of business, reduce the size of government, and do it all without paying a penny more in taxes. Right now, there are 19 county divisions scattered over 14 locations. Eight are in leased space. Some of the divisions are housed in county-owned properties, such as the Annex and the Health Department Building, but these structures are old, inefficient and will require millions to maintain and bring up to code. The proposal before voters is to co-locate those offices in a single Customer Services Building. Pierce County already owns the property where the building would be constructed: the site of the former Puget Sound Hospital on Pacific Avenue. The first two floors will provide walkin service. For example, license tabs, birth certificates, property records, marriage licenses, and County Council offices. Having all these services in one location, plus 1,250 parking stalls, will save citizens a lot of time and trouble.
Equally important, the $153 million that would be spent on rent over the next 30 years will go to a building the citizens of Pierce County will own. So will the $56 million the county would pay to upgrade, operate and maintain the Annex and the $30 million to do the same for the Health Department building. Instead of spending $239 million on leases and substandard buildings, Pierce County would own a first-rate building that contains walkin services and a whole lot more. To finance the construction, the county wants to take advantage of an innovative program called “63-20.� The 63-20 program has been used many times in the Puget Sound region. Under this program, tax-exempt bonds are issued and the builder assumes the construction risks. A lease-to-own contract is then signed with the buyer, Pierce County. The builder is also required to hand over the building in top-notch condition. Under the current system, the county would have nothing to show for decades of paying rent. Co-locating county offices in one building would also make some positions redundant. It’s estimated
38 positions could be eliminated, shrinking the size of government and making it more efficient. Altogether, the reduced workforce and the elimination of leases and maintenance expenses would save an estimated $369 million over 30 years. The construction of the new building, including finance payments and other costs would be $237 million. That’s a saving of $132 million. In the first year alone, the county would save more than $400,000. That’s money that could go to vital services such as public safety. Planning for the new building started back in 2009. Companies such as Moss Adams have conducted studies and county officials have held dozens of meetings, discussions and presentations. The Customer Services Building is a thoroughly studied proposal that saves money and time without raising taxes. However, because of the way the ballot measure is worded, supporters of the building must vote no on Nov. 3. Ron Klein is the interim director of the Department of Communications for Pierce County government.
WASHINGTON WATER BOTTLE A HIT IN YELLOWSTONE
By Don C. Brunell
Later this month, most facilities in Yellowstone National Park will close for the winter. The year’s visitor total is likely to top last year’s 3.5 million people. It may even beat the all-time total of 3.64 million set in 2010. The good news is that more people are experiencing the wonders of the nation’s oldest national park established in 1872. The bad news is that there is more traffic congestion and trash. To accommodate the crowds, Yellowstone has made a concerted effort to rebuild its roads and construct new facilities. That’s no easy task. The hard winters shorten the construction season and, as with all federal facilities, budgets are tight. In Yellowstone, the 35,000 members of the Yellowstone Association teamed with the National Park Service and constructed state-of-the-art visitor education centers at Old Faithful, Canyon and Mammoth. One of the products featured in those visitor centers are unique designer water bottles manufactured by Liberty BottleWorks in Union Gap, Wash. A portion of Liberty’s sales goes to the Association for reinvestment in Yellowstone. Liberty’s reusable bottles are made from recycled aluminum and lined with a BPA-free material that doesn’t crack or break off. They are “Made in America� – more specifically, “Made in Washington� – while most of its
competitors manufacture in China or Europe. Co-founders Tim Andis and Ryan Clark built their business as a zero emission, zero waste manufacturer. Uniquely, its containers can be used for other beverages. They are easy to wash out and the lining does not react with acidic liquids such as fruit juices and dishwashing detergents. They are ideal for our national parks. The National Park Service has attempted to ban the sale of bottled water inside parks in an effort to reduce litter, even though the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) estimates that nearly 40 percent of single-serve plastic bottled water containers are recycled – a rate which has more than doubled in the last eight years. When Zion National Park in Utah banned the sale of plastic water bottles, sales of reusable bottles jumped 78 percent and NPS claims it kept 60,000 disposable water bottles out of the garbage. The Park Service claims that, in contrast, the trash containers in Grand Canyon National Park are overflowing with disposable water bottles, accounting for nearly a third of the waste stream. The International Bottled Water Association (IWBA) opposes a ban on disposable plastic water bottles, saying it would only encourage people to switch to soda, juices and energy drinks in disposable bottles. The Park Service continues to lock

horns with the $13 billion bottled water industry over efforts to remove disposable bottled water from store shelves inside national parks. In 2011, the Park Service put the water bottle ban on hold, but it is still seeking a solution to the litter problem. One solution is building water refilling stations as a way to encourage people to bring reusable water bottles. That is happening in Grand Canyon National Park, where there are now water stations along the north and south rims. Refilling stations, which work for Liberty BottleWorks, cost anywhere from $2,000 to $15,000 each to build and funding construction and maintenance is not likely to come from Congress. It will have to come from user fees, private foundations and concessionaires. The fight over disposable versus reusable water bottles is not likely to subside because, on average, every American throws away 252 plastic water bottles a year, according to the National Beverage Coalition. Multiply that number by more than 320 million Americans and it means more than 80 billion plastic bottles end up in recycling or garbage each year. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.

UWT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DANICA STERUD MILLER TO PRESENT AT HISTORY MUSEUM By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

ART. (Left) Harrelson’s work focuses on portraits, capturing human emotions and
feelings through his drawing. (Right) Computer software like Photoshop have allowed artists like Harrelson tighter control over their work, and also allowed him to give a live demonstration of his style to Janet Brandfas’ art class at Wilson High School on Oct. 1. By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com
It’s a cliché, but art is everywhere. Most of the media we consume today was originally brought to life out of someone’s imagination via sketches and drawings. Not only that, but art can heal, art can be a comfort. Artist Brandon Harrelson understands both the mechanical and emotional benefits of art, and delivered his lessons to teacher Janet Brandfas’ art class at Wilson High School on Oct. 1. Harrelson is a 20-year Air Force veteran who retired and is currently attending the Art Institute of Seattle. He’s hoping to transfer his skills to graphic design for film and video games in the future. “No matter what you do in life, there’s always room for art to be used in some way,” he said. He spent a lot of time drawing. “It doesn’t matter where you go – if you have that yearning to see art, do art, you have it in your body. You take it with you wherever you go,” Brandfas said. Harrelson’s time in the military allowed him to not only develop his artistic talents, but also use them to help families of servicemen and women who died in the field. His unit was responsible for transportation, a dangerous job, and he soon took to drawing portraits of the men and women who lost their lives in service and give them to their fami-
lies. The GI Bill allowed him to pursue these skills when he retired last year. Harrelson has focused his art on various touchstones of popculture, everything from Justin Timberlake to “Star Wars” make-up, his favorite sources of inspiration. “A lot of my art is inspired by pop culture. I grew up with 'Star Wars.' My fandom for it lay ‘dormant’ for a long time. That also includes when newer movies came out. I wasn't inspired, but with the old characters it excites me. I feel like a kid again and my sons are excited for it as well. It's been a dream of mine to work for Lucasfilms, so maybe this will be a good step toward my end goal,” Harrelson said Harrelson has been at the Art Institute of Seattle for a year and is already experiencing signs of success, including showing his work at a gallery in a local Starbucks. Brandfas invited Harrelson to her art class last year to speak to her students after his daughter, a student in her class, told her about her dad’s reputable skill. With his visit last Thursday, the duo made it an annual tradition. Brandfas believes Harrelson’s interesting story and easygoing attitude make him an ideal role model for her students, “He’s really approachable and he’s someone who’s real open, socially. He fields questions and the kids love him and gravitate toward him because he has great skills and a magnetic personality,” Brandfas said.
On Oct. 15, University of Wa s h i n g t o n Tacoma Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies Danica Sterud Miller, a member of the Puyallup Tribe, STERUD MILLER will give a free presentation on the experiences of the Puyallup people as they have protected their sovereignty beginning from the point of first contact with settlers and continuing to the present. “A History of Puyallup Tribal Sovereignty: A Puyallup’s Perspective” begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Washington State History Museum. Miller will examine how the Puyallup have historically constructed sovereignty and how that construction has shaped, and been shaped by, United States colonialism. Miller will examine the Puyallup precontact and their understandings of themselves as a nation to the present day, and how the Puyallup continue to negotiate their sovereignty and self-determination. “Part of the argument I will present is that sovereignty is historically constructed,” Miller said. “This is a theory proposed by much more rigorous indigenous academics than myself, but I am applying it specifically to the Puyallup. I am interested in how the Puyallup constructed themselves as a people both pre- and post- contact and how that construction has changed according to how the Puyallup have themselves changed. I do think that post-contact, the Puyallup have constructed sovereignty differently than other area tribes, but I would argue that all tribes uniquely construct themselves as peoples.” Miller said she has been working on this project for about a year. She is in the beginning stages of a large research project on the Puyallup Tribe, so she spent the past year doing basic research with both
primary and secondary sources, and conducting interviews. “This talk is the culmination of the research I felt was necessary before I really felt comfortable getting deeper into primary, archival documents,” she said. As an Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at University of Washington Tacoma, Miller is helping to build the American Indian Studies program there. Having grown up on the reservation, her work focuses on resistance to federal Indian law in American Indian literature. She is particularly interested in how these moments of resistance trace traditional acts of sovereignty. Miller holds three degrees she earned at Fordham University in New York – a Ph.D. in English (2013), a M.Phil. in English (2007) and M.A. in English (2006) – and a B.A. in English Literature from Western Washington University (2000). The university recently hired Miller and Michelle Montgomery (Eastern Band Cherokee; Haliwa Saponi) as assistant professors of Native American studies in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences; and Michael Tulee (Yakama) as Native American educator in the Office of Equity and Diversity. Earlier this year, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and the University of Washington Tacoma launched a pathbreaking collaboration that aims to infuse Native ways of knowing into UW Tacoma teaching, learning and research. The effort is being funded initially by a $275,000 grant from the Puyallup Tribe. During a fouryear period, the funding will support curriculum transformation, research activity, community engagement and student enrichment. “I hope that the audience enjoys my talk, and I hope it will give them the critical tools to engage further with contemporary indigeneity,” said Miller. “A History of Puyallup Tribal Sovereignty: A Puyallup’s Perspective” is being held on “Free Third Thursday” and everyone can enjoy free admission to the History Museum from 2-8 p.m.

ELECTION ’15
Tacoma School Board Will Jenkins, Sr. ¡ Position #2
TW: What are three top issues that you plan to address or that form your election platform? WJ: My vision for Tacoma Schools is an entire community working together to ensure success for all kids. My top three priorities are: 1. community collaboration, 2. increasing graduation rates, and 3. lowering dropout rates. I want to establish high expectations for all students, increase transparency of school board governance and, most importantly, to bring leadership that is strategic as well as compassionate. I’ll bring together students, parents, teachers, administrators, school board members and advocates to create solutions to increase graduation and decrease dropout rates. I want resources available for talented and gifted students, as well as for students in special education. I want teachers to be recognized as true professionals and for their evaluations to recognize the extra efforts they apply to increase student outcomes. Through my vision of collaboration, I want the system available to all students, especially those who are disadvantaged and minorities. I want people working together in Tacoma Schools who are committed to our kids’ learning styles, their physical and emotional needs and, most of all, those who want ALL of our kids to graduate. TW: How are you qualified to champion these issues? WJ: My background has prepared me to focus on interpersonal relationships and how they support academic education. I’m a retired veteran and president of a nonprofit called Advocate of Social and Community Change (ASCC). I’m interested in education for ALL of our kids. I have experience working with families one-on-one to solve issues, I know how to use data to show the full and complete picture of results in our schools, and I have a professional network that will help me fight for the right to ensure educational equity for all students, particularly those who are disadvantaged or minority. TW: How do you see yourself working, or at odds, with other members of the school board? WJ: Since my top priority is community collaboration, I want to work in collaborative partnership with members of the school board, as well. I will make a good faith effort to seek consensus among school board members on issues related to budgeting and financial measures and policies that support the best outcomes for students and rewards for teachers. It is not my intention to be at odds with my fellow school board members, but I will do everything in my power to see to it that policies are in place to direct resources to underprivileged students as well as gifted students. TW: What else should voters know about you? WJ: I am running for the school board because I have a passion for kids and their families. I want opportunities and resources to be made available to all students. Over the next six years, I want to establish educational equity in Tacoma. I want transparency in our governance, and when Tacoma schools boast of its accomplishments, I want to know that those metrics include all students. A vote for Will Jenkins, Sr. is a vote for students, families, community – Systems, Utilizing, Community, Collaboration, Empower, Student, Success, “S.U.C.C.E.S.S� – and advocates working together under a common goal of education for each and every student.

JENKINS
USHKA
TW: What are three top issues that you plan to address or that form your election platform? CU: 1. Continuing to raise graduation rates and close the achievement gap: Graduation rates increased from 55 percent to 78 percent since I was first elected to the school board. We now have hundreds of strong community partners and Tacoma is becoming a national model. By implementing the Whole Child Initiative, we are looking at student learning beyond test scores and directly addressing the achievement gap. We need to put policies in place that guarantee continued momentum beyond the tenure of any single school board member or superintendent. 2. Strengthen and expand our public innovative schools: Today’s schools must engage students in their own success, empowering them to graduate ready in an increasingly competitive economy. This requires implementing choice while addressing centuries of equity gaps in urban districts around the nation. We’ve made significant progress as the only innovative district in the state, offering both quality and school choice in public education. With my leadership, Tacoma Public Schools implemented a policy for innovative schools to formally request ideas and input from the community on an annual basis. Learn more about all 14 Innovative programs at tacoma.k12.wa.us/schools/innovative. 3. Support students beyond the classroom to achieve success: In the past few years, we have vastly expanded support for students. We need to build on these systems and remain flexible to the changing needs of students and the community. Ensuring that this momentum continues is why I am running for re-election. The majority of our students are impacted by economic or life factors that challenge their time in the classroom. Schools must help address these issues if students are to succeed. We’ve implemented policies that empower teachers to help students through challenges while also focusing on ways to avoid formal discipline. TW: How are you qualified to champion those issues? CU: When I was first elected in 2009, our schools were facing millions of dollars in budget cuts, a lack of transparency, and no plan for improvement. Today, we have a clear strategic plan and have made significant progress. TPS has moved from a downward spiral to an upward trajectory under my leadership. I believe that my record and the evidence of progress along with my proven commitment to public education qualify me to serve a second term.
TW: How do you see yourself working, or at odds, with the other members of the council? CU: I have been a leader in changing the direction of the board in the last six years, building consensus without making concessions that would hurt our students. TPS has re-earned the trust of the public in part because of the transparency and good working relationships that we have built within the board and throughout the community. I have the privilege of working with a group of strong, diligent, and exceptionally qualified peers. We work through challenges respectfully, logically and transparently. We have built a foundation of leveraging one another’s strengths toward the best outcomes for students. TW: What else should voters know about you? CU: What inspires my passion for this service is knowing that our acceleration policy helped a homeless student access a college career; that a young man with disabilities found a sense of respect and graduated because we integrated classrooms; and seeing the sheer number of students at Lincoln, and other high schools, signing college letters. My commitment to this work is focused on making sure that doing the right thing for students and families becomes the norm, and that that norm is backed by policy and budget commitment. Our students and our community deserve the best that we can provide.

TW: What are three top issues that you plan to address or that form your election platform? AC: The top three issues I plan to address as a school director include the following: 1. Ensuring that there are multiple pathways for student success built into the system from kindergarten through graduation, and that each pathway provides students with the knowledge and skills they will need to thrive in their lives after high school. 2. Ensuring that Tacoma has a sustainable plan to continue to fund the initiatives that have been successful at boosting student achievement in recent years, in spite of uncertainty about state funding. 3. Streamlining our assessment system. Assessments play an important role in helping teachers hone in on specific areas where students need additional challenge or support. Data from standardized statewide assessments can also be used to identify when schools are engaging in practices that lead to disproportionate outcomes for certain groups of children in a systematic way. We need to look for ways to align local assessments with required state and federal assessments in ways that reduce the time taken from instruction to administer them. TW: How are you qualified to champion those issues? AC: I have spent more than a decade working and lead-

ing in education. I have worked with students directly as a college admission counselor and with access to college programs. I also served under the State Superintendent of Public Instruction as a policy analyst. In this position I worked with teams of educators and staff to identify solutions to the most pressing issues facing K-12 education. I am also a scholar of the sociology and education. I have a Bachelor’s degree in sociology, a Master’s in Public Administration and am currently pursuing a PhD in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. TW: How do you see yourself working, or at odds, with the other members of the council? AC: I anticipate that I will work well with the other members of the board. I have a genuine passion for seeing that our students succeed in our schools and in their lives after high school and I think those are values we will all share. I bring a unique experience working in Olympia on state education policy, and I hope that my fellow board members will see that as an asset just as I see their backgrounds as such. TW: What else should voters know about you? AC: I have been endorsed by a diverse set of community leaders, current and former elected officials, labor unions and parent advocates. The list includes the TNT Editorial Board; WEA-Tacoma Council; Stand for Children; Pierce County Democrats; Pierce County Central Labor Council; ILWU Local 23; Representative Christine Kilduff; former Representative Larry Seaquist; former Senator Rosa Franklin; Tacoma School Director and former Mayor Karen Vialle; Tacoma City Council members Ibsen and Woodards; Former Mayors Moss and Crowley; Willie Stewart; and many other educators, parents, and community leaders.

Alisa Regala O'Hanlon ¡ Position #4 (Open Seat)
TW: What are three top issues that you plan to address or that form your election platform? AO: I’m sure my priorities hardly differ from other candidates: we all want to see graduation rates continue to improve, want excellence in curriculum and teaching and demand that ALL students experience success. I am, however, the vocal proponent of engaging more of our community and resources outside of our District in order to realize those priorities. More than 60 percent of our students live in poverty. Schools alone cannot address all the hurdles that compromise kids' learning. To see all Tacoma students succeed in school, it’s essential to give priority to engaging investment from those who can address the hurdles schools can’t. TW: How are you qualified to champion those issues? AO: I’ve been an effective community builder in Tacoma for 20 years. I’ve built partnerships and alliances to advance major investments in Tacoma like light rail expansion, bridge reconstruction and a new Eastside community center. But at the end of the day, the only asset that actually makes a great community is the people. I’m committed to applying my seasoned and proven skills in mobilizing partners to invest in the community asset that means the most - our kids. TW: How do you see yourself working, or at odds, with the other members of the council? AO: I’m confident that, since Director Vialle has endorsed my opponent, she would rather work with her than with me, but I’m equally capable of working well with all members of the school board. I’ve collaborated with each in some capacity – with Ushka on an Eastside community center, with Heinze on the board of directors for Communities in Schools, with Winskill to prevent elementary school consolidations in 2006, and with Vialle in my government relations role with the City of Tacoma. These familiar relationships make it easy for me to open frank discussions and to find common ground when opinions differ. TW: What else should voters know about you? AO: Those who’ve endorsed me have done so because they know my work, not because I’ve convinced them with a pithy speech. I’ve been a public servant of Tacoma for over 20 years. I’m privileged to have worked for and with folks such as School Director Kurt Miller, City Councilmembers including Ryan Mello and David Boe, County Councilmembers Connie Ladenburg and Rick Talbert, State Representatives Laurie Jinkins and Jake Fey, and State Senator Jeannie Darneille. They endorse me because they know firsthand the integrity, dedication and respect with which I have always served the people of this community. TW: Where can voters learn more about you? AO: I have a little bit of information on my website and Facebook pages but, always, the best way to know me, versus me telling you what I want you to believe about me, is to talk to me. Email or call. Text. We’ll talk, or set up coffee/tea/hot cocoa. (253) 882-5486 or info@alisaregalaohanlon.com. Or simply ask about me among friends and people you trust. I’ve always cherished Tacoma for its “small town� feel. In many ways, I’m regularly reminded that if you and I don’t know each other, we know somebody who knows us both.

WALTERS
Clare Petrich ¡ Position #5 (Incumbent)
TW: What are three top issues that you plan to address or that form your election platform? CP: 1. Ensure success of the Northwest Seaport Alliance. In 2015, after years of competition, the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle formed an Alliance. It sets the stage to leverage our facilities and competitive advantages to attract more business to our Gateway. The Alliance will provide reliability and ease of doing business for our customers. I believe continuity on the Commission is needed to guarantee success. 2. Expand Port of Tacoma economic development projects. The Port will put a sharper focus on its own real estate investments to promote job creation, growth and sustainability in Pierce County. Two planned projects are innovative environmental developments destined to improve air quality worldwide. I will continue to plan and promote economic development in Pierce County. 3. Improve rail and road transportation and invest in infrastructure. I am grateful that the 2015 State Legislature passed a transportation package that includes completion of SR167, a vitally important missing link to the Port. Other local road and rail yard projects need funding to reduce congestion for both people and freight. I will continue to speak out for freight transportation wherever it is needed. TW: How are you qualified to champion those issues? CP: As the incumbent on the Port Commission, I am definitely qualified to champion these issues with my cocommissioners. Strategic planning for the Alliance and the Port are key to our financial and political success. Managing our joint marine terminals requiresknowledge of the issues and strong relationships between both commissions. In addition to the Port, I also serve on Puget Sound Regional Council Committees for Transportation Futures and Economic Development, as well as the Trade Alliance, the Mayor’s Committee for International Rela-
is for
TW: How do you see yourself working, or at odds, with the other members of the council? CP: The five members of the Port Commission are well known for our ability to work collaboratively. We bring a strong emphasis on approving sustainable budgets, seeking business investments and managing expenses. Each of us has diverse experiences. We value each other’s point of view.

would allow shop owners in commercial areas to live at their locations and for entrepreneurial residents to operate retail and lightindustrial businesses in their homes. “Images of downtown Tacoma from the late 1800s and early 1900s show a vibrant, crowded scene. Sidewalks are packed with pedestrians on streets lined with stores, businesses, and restaurants,” according to a staff report. “The opening of the Tacoma Mall in 1965 quickly led to the decline of the downtown area, as patrons of once-bustling downtown shops relocated their patronage to the suburban mall three miles away. The downtown core lost most of its ‘flexhouse’ and commercial tenants, and until present day has seen these historic buildings sit vacant on-and-off for the last 50 years. The last 20 years, however, has seen a
concerted effort from local developers, business owners and citizens to revitalize downtown.” The return of residential options downtown and the area’s stock of historical buildings in search of reuse prompted a search for ways to bring new life to underused buildings and housing options for new residents. The proposed live-work and work-live changes cleared a City Council public hearing last month and set for revision by the Infrastructure, Planning and Sustainability Committee on Oct. 14 and then council approval Oct. 20. “Recommendations were developed with the goal of implementing code revisions that will address roadblocks to the renovation and reuse of existing buildings,” the staff report stated. “These recommendations focus primarily on amendments to building and fire Codes. However, the consultants have identified several existing provisions for

change is not only meant to promote creative reuses of historic buildings that often have under-used living spaces above retail stores, but to also provide for more housing options as the city grows and to promote sustainability by cutting down on commute
times and congestion. “By allowing people to live and work in the same place, we can expand entrepreneurial and economic opportunities and support the creation of new businesses,” said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. Business owners would have to meet specific livework licensing and zoning rules, file a $75 residency agreement with the city and still use more than 50 percent of their location for commercial purposes. Residents looking to operate businesses in their homes under the work-live codes would be able to have office, retail or light manufacturing businesses under similar rules. Occupants of the residential spaces would have to have direct ties to the businesses, either employees or owners rather than simply as tenants.

The city has no roster of locations that could be affected by the changes, but a survey about a decade ago suggested that hundreds of residents were interested in live-work spaces for artists. Developing the proposed changes included a study on live-work, worklive options in Tacoma that examined three sites. Two of the sites were high profile historic buildings that city officials are looking for redevelopment options: downtown’s landmark Old City Hall and the historic Vahalla Hall on Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The third, 313 S. 7th St., a warehouse that also served as a car repair shop before becoming commercial spaces, currently houses Willow Photography and the Grit City Grindhouse skateboard shop. The two-stor y, unreinforced masonry building was built in 1900 as a warehouse. The building’s two floors span 3,000 square feet each. Grit City uses 1,000 square feet on the lower floor for retail sales and the remainder of the space for an indoor skate park that is operated by Alchemy Skateboarding and Education, a nonprofit skateboarding effort. The upper floor’s photo studio provides a separate entrance and a garage door, making it a prime example of potential redevelopment into livework spaces, according to the city report. “If I could afford it, that would be my dream,” skate shop owner Taylor Woodruff said. “It would be a very easy commute – just walk downstairs.”

forms of domestic violence that isn’t just someone physically assaulting their intimate partner. “It’s also emotional assault,� said Tacoma’s Human Services Manager Pamela Dunkin. “It can be psychological assault.� Domestic violence can take many forms outside the stereotypical man-on-woman assaults as well. It crosses socio-economic lines, touches all cultures and can include abuse in gay and lesbian relationship, as well as women abusing their male partner. Each abuse case has its own challenges that transcend the notion of “why doesn’t the victim just leave?� “That should never be the question,� said Susan Adams, director of the Crystal Judson Family Justice Center. The nonprofit center was formed in memory of Crystal Judson, who was killed in 2003 by her estranged husband, Tacoma Police Chief David Brame. He then killed himself. Barriers to “just leaving� include concerns regarding physical, emotional, pyschological, economical and cultural issues, when the real questions should be asked about why abusers choose to hurt those they claim to love and how to end the abuse. “Awareness is certainly part of that,� Adams said. “But we need action.� Tacoma had 3,471 domestic violence abuse cases in 2014, according to police statistics. About half of them, 1,772, were simple assaults, while 832 were violation of protection orders. Last year, seven of the 14 murders in the city were linked to domestic violence. Police responded to more than 7,500 domestic violence calls, or about 13 percent of all emergency police calls. “Domestic violence does not discriminate,� said Oasis Youth Center Executive Director Seth Kirby. Oasis is the only drop-in and support center dedicated to the needs of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teens and young adults in Pierce County. Incidents of domestic violence in same-sex relationships are the same, if not higher, than in the general population, but often include the added complications of marginalization, lower social awareness and fewer support programs designed to address LBGTQ issues. The abusers – and their victims – are neighbors, friends, family members and coworkers. They come from all walks of life and all cultures. “It happens to everyone, rich or poor,� Asia Pacific Cultural Center Director Lua Pritchard said, noting that abusers often isolate their victims using cultural norms

BELLARMINE LIONS ON THE HUNT FOR TWO TITLES

A
doubleheader is always a welcome attraction at the ballpark, but when you can squeeze in two different sports on the same evening, it’s a real treat for sports fans. If you were a fan of the Bellarmine Prep Lions, Tuesday, Oct. 6 was made for you. The girls’ soccer team squared off against a talented and tough Stadium Tiger squad on the green grass of Bellarmine’s Memorial Field and then it was time to head indoors to catch the three-time defending state 4A champion Lions as they hosted the Wolves from South Kitsap. Had there been an admission price for either or both matches, the two contests were well worth it for even the most casual sports fan as the Tigers pushed Bellarmine to the limits on the soccer pitch, before giving up a late penalty kick that put the game out of reach 4-2, and as the Wolves gave the Lions a true test on the volleyball court, despite dropping all three games. Out on the soccer field, Stadium was the first to hit the back of the nets early in the match as junior forward Sam Putnam scored just five minutes into the contest. The Tigers would turn up the pressure for the next 15 minutes as they narrowly missed on several chances at the Bellarmine goal. Meanwhile, the Lions were beginning to find cracks in the Stadium defense. Twenty one minutes into the match, sophomore forward Emily Walsh sent a long pass down to sophomore Sydney DeVita, who juked to her right and back to her left, shaking her defender, and delivered a strike into the back left of the net to tie the game at 1-1. Stadium would answer quickly as senior captain Emma Lynch found some
daylight with just one defender beside her and pushed a shot just over the hands of Bellarmine freshman goalkeeper Isabelle Davis. The ball hit the bottom of the crossbar and kicked down a few feet in front of the goal line and was cleared away back down the field. Just a minute later, Lynch would loft a corner kick into the center of the box where junior forward Sam Putnam awaited and knocked a perfect header into the back of the net for a 2-1 Stadium lead with 16 minutes left in the first half. Bellarmine would score the equalizer seven minutes later as Emily Walsh sent a long throw-in deep into the box where sophomore Haley Lepkowski came up with the ball, turned and blasted a shot into the right side of the goal. Both teams would enter halftime deadlocked at 2-2. Senior midfielder Janae Leach would break the tie 20 minutes into the second half. Despite several chances for Stadium, the Tigers were unable to get the ball in the net. When junior Mallory Price punched a penalty kick into the net with just a minute remaining in regulation, any real possibilities for a Tiger comeback were dashed. Bellarmine (5-1-0 4A Narrows, 5-2-1) remains in second place in the Narrows behind Gig Harbor (6-0-0, 7-2-1), while Stadium (4-2-0, 5-3-1) currently has a two game cushion ahead of Yelm (2-3-0, 2-4-0) for third place, and what would be the final playoff spot, if the season were to end today. The Lions and Tigers will meet again for the regular season finale on Oct. 29 at Stadium Bowl. Meanwhile, things were getting serious in the Bellarmine gym. Not only had South Kitsap led during the first game, they pushed the Lions nearly to the brink before finally falling to three
straight kills by senior middle blocker Megan Jacobsen. Bellarmine would take the first game 25-20. The second game would see the Lions jump out to a 7-0 lead as Bellarmine sophomore Addy Woolery held serve throughout. South Kitsap would not recover, but hung tough, dropping the game 25-14. The third game would see both teams trade leads in the early going. Bellarmine was unable to shake the feisty Wolves and had to buckle down to take the win. South Kitsap tied the score at 11-11 and nearly tied it again as late as 20-18. However, they would get no closer as Bellarmine closed it out strong for the 25-18 win and a 3-0 sweep of the match. “They [South Kitsap] were great tonight and kept their energy going the whole time,” said new Bellarmine head coach Caroline Meines. "Everybody had to be on their game the whole time and it’s fun to have that. I think our whole league is that way right now. “We lost players in some key spots from last year and we have a ways to go. There’s moments it looks like a team that could compete at the end of the season for a title, and at times it doesn’t. We have some kids with experience, but at times we have, at the most, two seniors on the court, or one senior on the court and sometimes no seniors on the court. So a huge piece of our game is trying to figure out for the young kids how to cope with stressful situations and then leadership. Those are the mental and emotional parts of the game that are fun to work on. So I think the pieces are there, but it’s about pushing at the right times and then leading them or guiding them at other times.” Bellarmine (7-0 4A Narrows, 8-1) returns to action Oct. 14 as they host second place Timberline (6-1, 6-3) at 4:45 p.m.

WASHINGTON KNOCKS FIFE FROM RANKS OF THE UNBEATEN By Chance Pittenger Tacoma Weekly Correspondent
When the calendar rolled over to October, the games started to mean a little more. Teams started to make a run at league titles and playoff berths. The non-league games are over and teams face their rivals week after week. On this first Friday of October, the undefeated Fife Trojans hosted the Washington Patriots in a SPSL 2A league game. Fife had been looking strong, including a dramatic win over Steilacoom the previous week. Washington was on the winning track as well and looking to knock Fife from the top spot and turn the league race on its head. In the end, Fife turnovers and a monster game by Washington's Tariq Ellis would be the deciding factors as the Patriots held on for an impressive 36-27 road win. It was most definitely a fall evening, as the players had to deal with damp and misty conditions throughout the game, along with a couple of outright downpours. The Trojans flexed first, holding Washington to a three and out on their first possession, then marching 53 yards down the field with their three-headed running attack featuring Wes Nixon, Jackson Cooley and Tanner Knapp, who went in for the score from 16 yards out. The try for two failed, and Fife was out to an early 6-0 lead. Washington managed to get their offense in gear, moving down the field on a 92-yard scoring drive, with senior running back Tariq Ellis doing most of the heavy lifting.

TACOMA STARS PRO ROSTER ADDS SOME FAMILIAR TALENT FOR NEW SEASON Tacoma Stars Head Coach and General Manager Darren Sawatzky announced today the signing of defender Jeff Bader, defender Trevor Jensen, and midfielder Cam Vickers to the club’s 2015-16 roster. The three join the Stars as they continue to prepare for their first full season in the Major Arena Soccer League. Tacoma will open the season on Oct. 24 with a road contest against the Dallas Sidekicks. Bader, 33, returns to the Stars after playing for the club last year. The Tacoma native’s indoor soccer resume includes time spent with the Ontario Fury of the MASL. Bader split his four years of collegiate soccer between two local colleges, first at Tacoma Community College and then with The Evergreen State College. The defender won two men’s championships with the Stars in 2004 and 2010 while the team played in the Premier Arena Soccer League. “Jeff has been a local indoor player for years and played with us last year on the Stars,” Sawatzky said. “His veteran presence and ability to score from long range gives us yet another nice piece to the puzzle.” “I feel very excited and fortunate to be able to continue my career, representing my home town, with the Stars,” Bader said. “Although we are a new team, I think that the experience and talent level of the players we have signed thus far, matched with our coaching staff and relentless work ethic, will give us what it takes to surprise teams out of the gate and have a successful season.” Jensen, 24, played the last two seasons for the Kitsap Pumas of the Premier Development League and was an instrumental part of a 2014 Pumas squad that finished first in the PDL Northwest Division and reached the league championship. Jensen is a native of Chula Vista, California and played collegiately for Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. “Trevor was a stalwart holding midfield player for the Pumas against our Sounders U-23 team the past two years,” Sawatzky said. “He is very good defensively and he builds well in the attack. We will have him play a few roles for us this winter.” “I am excited for the challenge,” Jensen said. “The Stars have been around a long time and are a great organization. I want to thank Darren and the rest of the organization for believing in me. I am looking forward to a great MASL season in Tacoma.” Vickers, 26, recently wrapped up a season playing for Arizona FC of the United Soccer League. The native of Lake Tapps, Washington played collegiately at Sonoma State University and has spent time with the Portland Timbers U-23 squad in the PDL. Vickers played for the Stars last year and spent time with the Tacoma Tide from 2008-11. “We are looking at attacking teams this year in different ways,” Sawatzky said. “Cam is a quick, clever player with a lot of experience and we will look to him to create scoring opportunities for us.” “I am excited to be signing with the Stars,” Vickers said. “I’m looking forward to getting back with the good group of players Darren has brought in and representing my home town.” These moves bring the current roster up to 16 players now for the MASL Stars. Last week, it was also announced that former Seattle Sounder Steve Zakuani has joined the organization as an assistant coach. Season ticket packages, group outings, and suite offerings for the Tacoma Stars 2015 season are available now. To purchase, call 1-844-STARS-TIME or visit the Stars online at www.tacomastars.com. The most up-to-date news and notes about the Stars leading up to the start of the 2015 season can be found by following the Stars on Twitter (@TacomaStarsSC) or liking the team on Facebook. ZAKUANI CHARITY MATCH TO FEATURE CURRENT AND PAST AREA LEGENDS Join Tacoma Stars Assistant Coach Steve Zakuani Oct. 11 at 3 p.m. for a charity soccer match benefiting Kingdom Hope, his charity dedicated to community outreach. Through the Cecile Zakuani Scholarship, named after Steve's mother, Kingdom Hope has helped financially support African students attend university in Rwanda. The Zakuani & Friends Charity Match will feature former Seattle Sounders, Seattle Reign and Seattle Sounders FC 2 players. Former Stars player and current Sounders FC assistant coach Brian Schmetzer will coach Team Schmetzer and face off against Team Harvey, coached by Seattle Reign head coach Laura Harvey. Stars Head Coach and General Manager Darren Sawatzky will suit up and take the field as a player for Team Harvey. Starfire Stadium will open its gates at 2 p.m. in advance of the 3 p.m. kickoff. PLU WOMEN’S SOCCER CONTINUES IMPRESSIVE SEASON WITH NWC ROAD SWEEP With its eighth shutout in 10 matches, the Pacific Lutheran women's soccer team capped the first half of the 2015 season Sunday with a 2-0 Northwest Conference road win over Whitworth. Pacific Lutheran's win improved the Lutes' record to 8-1-1 overall and 4-1-1 in conference play, while Whitworth fell to 5-6 overall and 3-4 in the NWC. The Lutes' record is the team's best through 10 matches since the 1988 NAIA championship squad opened the season with 12 straight wins. "We had a really good second half today," PLU head coach Seth Spidahl said. "We created some great opportunities in looking for the second goal. It didn't come until the 88th minute, but I was proud of how our team responded after a missed PK. It was a crucial moment in the game, but we showed great maturity and poise, and it motivated the group." Ashley Mindnich got PLU on the board just before halftime, taking a cross from Krista Morford and knocking it in from five yards out to give the Lutes a 1-0 lead in the 40th minute of play. After winning the previous two matches 1-0, the Lutes had a chance to keep that streak of close victories going. But with a 9-5 second-half shot advantage, PLU maintained the offensive pressure throughout in search of that second goal.
It seemed like PLU would pick that goal up early in the second period on a penalty kick attempt, but Whitworth goalkeeper Andrea Stump saved Kelly White's shot and maintained the one-score match. Jamie Hoffman finally gave the Lutes a bit of breathing room with less than two minutes to play, as she took a cross from Kelsey Hathaway on the left and scored from nine yards out to the left side of the net. "Whitworth came out strong with a lot of energy and passion, but I think we matched it and I was happy we got a couple goals today," White said. "We had a ton of chances on goal and played solid defense against a physical team. Each game we play we're becoming closer as a team and fighting for each other more and more, which is more important than any other aspect of the game when times get tough." Takara Mitsui earned her eighth shutout of the season after making four saves for the Lutes. For PLU the win marked the second straight season the Lutes have swept the eastern Washington road trip after not achieving the feat since 2015. "This capped off a great weekend for our program," Spidahl said. "There are not many teams that are going to come over here and go 2-0, so full credit to the players and the team." PLU returns home for its next two matches. The Lutes host Linfield Saturday, Oct. 10 at 12 p.m., with Pacific coming to town the following day.

The Loggers (2-1, 1-0 NWC) began their game-winning drive on their own 21-yard line with 3:06 clock while trailing, 20-17. Quarterback Hans Fortune connected with wide receiver Peter Bell for three consecutive completions and 20 yards before Brisebois hauled in the 22-yard go-ahead touchdown with 1:17 on the clock. Willamette's (0-3, 0-1 NWC) ensuing drive included a couple of incomplete passes before Espadal, who made his first start of the season, picked off Trent Spallas. The Loggers' victory is their first road win to start conference play since Puget Sound beat Willamette, 17-14, in 2000. "I'm very proud of the way the guys grinded out this win," said Puget Sound head coach Jeff Thomas. "The defense did a phenomenal job all game. They were clutch." The high-octane Logger offense, which entered Saturday ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division-III for passing yards per game, scored a touchdown in its first possession of the game. Puget Sound capped off an eight-play, 58-yard drive when Fortune connected with Kevin Miller for a 10-yard touchdown to put the Loggers ahead, 7-0. Both sides played lockdown defense through the rest of the first half. The Loggers and Bearcats exchange field goals and Puget Sound held a 10-3 lead entering halftime. Puget Sound opened the second half with possession, but Willamette returned an interception 48 yards for a touchdown to even the score, 10-10. The Bearcats claimed their first lead late in the third quarter with a 69-yard touchdown completion. Brennan Schon, who entered the weekend ranked No. 2 in the nation in yards per catch, hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass down the sidelines to tie the game, 17-17, midway through the fourth quarter. Willamette answered right back with a go-ahead field goal with 4:35 left in regulation. Puget Sound's next possession resulted in a turnover after it failed to convert on fourth-and-one with 3:34 to go. The Loggers' defense buckled down and coaching staff utilized its timeouts well as Puget Sound forced the Bearcats into a three-and-out while running just 28 seconds off the clock. The Loggers were left with plenty of time of time to put together its come-from-behind victory. Fortune threw four 337 yards and three touchdowns, while Miller caught 12 passes for 97 yards. Bell set a careerrecord with 94 receiving yards on nine receptions. Defensively, Espedal added nine tackles to his two interceptions. Chris Beaulaurier led all players with 12 tackles, and Matt Gilbert added 10 in the winning effort. Puget Sound returns to Baker Stadium when it hosts Whitworth on Saturday, Oct. 10. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. UPS’ SHIPLEY TABBED FOR THIRD NWC ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONOR IN 2015 Tyler Shipley earned his third Northwest Conference Student-Athlete of the Week honor this season, the league recently announced. The senior placed first at the Chuck Bowles Invitational hosted by Willamette on Saturday, Oct. 3. Shipley, a Forest Grove, Oregon, native, crossed the finish line in front of 142 other runners in 24:33.80, helping the Loggers to a fourth place finish out of 15 teams. Shipley was previously named NWC Student-Athlete of the Week September 22 after finishing ninth out of 270 runners at the Sundodger Invitational. He also earned the honor after opening the 2015 season by winning the Puget Sound Invitational on September 5. LOREK TAKES HOME NWC ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONORS FOR UPS SOCCER Cameron Lorek was named the Northwest Conference Offensive Student-Athlete of the week for his performance last week, the conference recently announced. The sophomore from Claremont, California, recorded two goals, including one game-winner, for the Loggers in two victories over the Oct. 3 weekend. In a 4-3 victory over Willamette on Saturday, Lorek scored in the second half. He lost his defender on the right side of the box, received a cross from Brandon Gonzalez, and slotted the ball past the goalie and into the back of the net. Lorek scored his fifth goal of the year on Sunday in a defeat of Linfield. His game-winner came on a headed goal off a Sam Zisette cross to put the home team up 2-1 in the second half. The Loggers would end up winning 3-1. Puget Sound's next match will be Saturday, October 10 when they host cross-town rival Pacific Lutheran.

There have been several changes to the 3A thirdranked Lincoln High School football team since last season’s record-breaking 11-1 campaign, but somehow, five games into the new season this team looks every bit as electric and dynamic. Perhaps this is simply the way Lincoln football is going to look for a while. Even with a key recent key injury, the Abes were able to take care of business and hand the Mt. Tahoma T-Birds a 67-14 defeat on Friday, Oct. 2 under drizzly skies at Lincoln Bowl. The Abes started the game a little shaky and it was understandable. Just one week prior, junior starting quarterback Joey Sinclair was helped off the field following a hard hit in a 3A Narrows league game at Shelton. As it turned out, Sinclair broke his collarbone and no one is sure whether he will return at any point this season. Stepping into the fray and behind center would be sophomore quarterback Willie Hamilton, who helped maintain the course for the Abes as they ended up pounding Shelton 54-3. A week later, Hamilton would make the first varsity start of his career and handled the pressure well. There were some shaky moments in the early going as Hamilton had a few troubles holding onto the ball, but as the game rolled along, the Lincoln machine began looking like its familiar self. Lincoln would get on the scoreboard first as senior running back Dionte Simon capped a 48-yard drive with a nine-yard run into the end-zone and Lincoln led 7-0 with 5:31 remaining in the first quarter. Mt. Tahoma would roll the dice on their next possession and let the ball fly down field. On third and six

and first snap, of the game for the Warriors. Senior quarterback Sean Allen was intercepted by senior defensive back Reid Roelofs, who returned the ball down the sidelines for what looked like a touchdown. A penalty on the return brought the ball back out to the 28-yard line and the Eagles went to work. Seven plays later, senior running back Wyatt Dunlap lowered his shoulders and scored from two yards out putting the Eagles up 7-0 with 8:58 left in the first quarter. It was a case of dÊjà vu for the Warriors on the subsequent possession as the Eagles intercepted a pass on the first snap of the drive, yet again. Life Christian would take over and push the ball all the way down to the one-half yard line. Junior Michael McKay was then dropped for two straight sacks by Chief Leschi, pushing them back to the six yard line. Life Christian’s senior quarterback Jack Hohimer then tried to squeeze a pass into the end-zone and was intercepted by junior Kuliano Baker at the goal line and the Warriors sud-

Things can sometimes get a little ugly when a football team in the midst of a rebuild runs straight into a squad that is looking like a steamroller. This was the case Saturday, Oct. 3 at a chilly Harry Lang Stadium as the Chief Leschi Warriors turned the ball over eight times against the Life Christian Eagles, who are beginning to look like one of the hottest 2B teams in the state right now. The turn overs only assisted a potent offense on their way to a 75-6 win for the Eagles. Throughout the course of the game, Life Christian found themselves facing a short distance to the end-zone following Warrior turnovers, and they capitalized on several occasions. After Chief Leschi gave up the ball on their first three possessions, the Warriors were actually a little lucky that Life Christian was only able to turn two of them into touchdowns. It began on the first possession,
denly had a new lease on life. The daylight would end quickly for Chief Leschi as Allen was sacked on the next play from scrimmage and was stripped of the football. Life Christian would take over at the Warrior three yard line. On third down, Hohimer would hit Roelofs on a quick pass in the flat. Roelofs would dive toward the end-zone with a Warrior defender in-tow, just getting the football past the goal line. Life Christian now led 14-0 with 3:23 remaining in the first quarter. Chief Leschi was unable to get anything going on the next drive and had to punt the ball away. Life Christian would take over on the Warrior 40-yard line and three plays in were knocking on the door again following a 30-yard end around run by McKay to the three yard line. The Warriors stuffed the first two Eagle attempts to ram the ball up the gut, but was unable to get a hand on Dunlap on third down, as he danced through the left side and into the end-zone. The Eagles would lead 20-0 following u See EAGLES / page A13

t Lincoln from their own 32-yard line, junior quarterback Julian Alcantara launched the ball down the sideline, finding senior wide receiver Luke Byrne all alone. Byrne beat the Lincoln defense to the goal line and, following a two-point conversion run by senior Adrian Allen, Mt. Tahoma found itself leading Lincoln 8-7 with 4:43 remaining in the first quarter. While it was just a one point lead, it was quite the state of affairs considering Lincoln’s controversial 91-0 defeat of Mt. Tahoma in 2014. The lead wouldn’t last long, however, as the Abes began marching down the field on their next possession. A combination of big runs by Simon and sophomore running back Tristian Kwon would push Lincoln down to the T-Bird two yard line. It would take just one more play as Simon punched it up the gut and Lincoln would retake the lead 14-8 with 2:58 left in the first quarter. A big kickoff return by sophomore Maleke Pate would put the T-Birds on the Lincoln 41-yard line on the next drive. Mt. Tahoma would move the ball seven yards, and no more, and ended up turning the ball back over to Lincoln on downs. Lincoln would answer with a eight-play, 67-yard drive capped by a 24-yard touchdown pass from Hamilton to Tony Archie in the end-zone. Lincoln now led 21-8 with
11:53 remaining in the second quarter. The T-Birds would let it fly again on the next possession when Alcantara hit junior receiver Ilijah Hudson on the run for a 74-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion was stuffed, but the Lincoln lead was cut to 21-14. It would also mark Mt. Tahoma’s last trip into the end-zone. Lincoln answered immediately with their own 60-yard scoring drive. With the help of 21-yard and 19-yard runs by Simon, the Abes were knocking on the door again with first and goal from the Mt. Tahoma five yard line. With the defense keying on Simon, Hamilton faked the handoff and sprinted outside and toward the pile-on, just reaching it before the T-Bird defense would catch up to him. Lincoln now led 27-14 with nine minutes left in the second quarter. The first half scoring was capped by a one-yard run by Kwon with 1:23 left in the second quarter. Lincoln’s lead was now 33-14 and there was going to be no looking back. Simon rushed for 171 of his game-high 284 yards on just 22 carries. The Abes ran for a total of 407 yards on 50 carries for the game. Simon, a 2014 Tacoma Weekly All-City selection also added three touchdowns, bringing his total to 13 on the season. Simon is also nearing the 1,000 yard threshold with 907 yards

on the first play. Dunlap would then score his fifth touchdown of the night on a 12-yard scamper. Life Christian led 61-0 with 9:42 remaining in the third quarter. A fumble recovery by Cannell in the endzone pushed it to 68-0 and following another Warrior fumble at their own 11-yard line, the Eagles would score their final points as senior running back Drake Shawcroft ran it in from seven yards on the next play for a 75-0 Eagle lead with 10:03 left in the game. Chief Leschi would get on the scoreboard with 2:21 left in the game as freshman running back Ezeriah Laurenza punched it up the gut from one yard out and brought a big cheer from

a missed point-after kick, with 11:55 remaining in the second quarter. Following a penalty on the kickoff, Chief Leschi started their next drive on the Eagle 35-yard line. Four plays later, the Eagle defense had shut down the Warrior’s attempts for a first down and took the ball back over. Senior running back Zay Greene would cap the four play drive with a dazzling 30-yard touchdown run that saw him cover probably 50 or more yards on the play. The point - after kick was good and Life Christian now led 27-0 with 9:33 left in the second quarter. Two more touchdowns by Dunlap and a score by junior running back Tom Cannell would push Life Christian’s lead to 47-0 at halftime. Due to the lopsided score, the second half would involve a running clock, per state football rules. McKay would open the second half with a kickoff return for a touchdown and the Warriors were snake bit again on the next drive as they fumbled the ball

through five games, which works out to just over 181 yards per contest. Hamilton had an exceptional debut behind center. The sophomore completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 225 yards and three touchdowns. He also added another two touchdowns with his feet. Archie finished with 105 yards on four catches and two touchdowns. Senior Alvin Johnson added 72 yards on two receptions and a touchdown. The Abes (3-0, 5-0) have their work cut out for them in the coming weeks. Lincoln will travel to North Thurston (2-1, 3-2) on Oct. 9 and Central Kitsap (3-0, 3-2) on Oct. 16.

a huge game against league leading North Beach (4-0, 5-0) on Oct. 24 at Harry Lang Stadium. Life Christian now leads all 2B teams in the state in scoring with a 49.6 point average per game. It won’t get any easier for Chief Leschi (0-4, 0-5) next as they host North Beach on Oct. 8.
Following two rugged defeats at the hands of Bellarmine and Gig Harbor, no one was going to be looking down upon the Stadium Tigers if they suffered a letdown the following week on the road against Yelm on Oct. 2. It wasn’t going to happen as the Tigers hung close to the Tornadoes throughout the contest and with time running out, junior running back Jamon Chambers punched the ball across the goal line and the Tigers would travel back to Tacoma with their second win of the season under their belts. It’s only going to get tougher though, as up next for the Tigers (1-2 4A Narrows, 2-3) is a home game against undefeated Olympia on Oct. 9 at Stadium Bowl. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
ended with a 6-yard pass from sophomore QB Martin Mendiola to Naji Neely. The Patriots failed on their 2-point attempt and the score was knotted at six after the first quarter. The tone for the remainder of the game was set in the second quarter. Fife turned the ball over on a fumble early in the quarter, and Washington went straight down the field to take the lead on 17-yard pass from Mendiola to Stephon Scott. Ellis added the two-point conversion. The Trojans were driving at the end of the quarter but another fumble put an end to that, and the Patriots were up 14-6 at the half. Washington started quickly in the second half. Tariq Ellis burst through the line for a 73-yard run on their first possession of the half. The conversion failed, but Washington had a 14-point lead. The senior running back finished his monster night with 30 carries for 231 yards rushing and two touchdowns. The Patriots scored on their next possession on a 56-yard pass from Mendiola to senior Darius Hatcher, and Ellis added the conversion. Suddenly, the game seemed to be slipping away from the Trojans. As their undefeated record would suggest, however, they had a little more to show. The Trojans scored the next time they had the ball, on a 44-yard pass from Kyle Mozzone to Nixon, and Mozzone carried for the two-point conversion. The Trojans added another touchdown right at the end of the quarter on another run by Tanner Knapp, and added the extra point to cut the lead to 28-21 going into the fourth quarter. Fife made it exciting, pulling to within one point when Wes Nixon scored on a two-yard run with 8:30 left in the game, but they failed on the two-point conversion and would not get any closer. Washington kept the ball for most of the remainder of the game on a time consuming drive, and when Tariq Ellis scored from two yards out and added the two-point conversion with 1:34 left, the Patriots were able to seal the deal and give the Trojans their first loss of the season by a final score of 36-27. Next up for the Fife Trojans (2-1 2A SPSL, 4-1 overall) is another rivalry game against the Franklin Pierce Cardinals (2-1, 2-3) in Fife, while Washington (2-1, 3-2) hosts league leading River Ridge (3-0, 5-0).

T
acoma Arts Month is now well underway. Next weekend is the Tacoma Studio Tour, the heart and soul of Arts Month. More than 50 artists in 34 locations will welcome visitors to their creative lairs. The event takes place Oct. 17 and 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guidebooks are available all over town. People can pick up the Tacoma Studio Tour book at any of the museums around town (Tacoma Art Museum, Museum of Glass, Washington State History Museum, America’s Car Museum, Children's Museum) and at many coffee shops and businesses. Each studio location on the tour will also have copies available for pick up the days of the tour. At the website, tacomaartsmonth.com/tacoma-studio-tour, folks can download a passport and access all the same information in a digital format. Studio tourists will have the opportunity to ask questions of the artists and purchase art and crafts. Further, all studios will feature live demonstrations of the art-making process. Many will also have hands-on activities for visitors to participate in. The tours should be as interesting as a trip to the zoo at feeding time. New this year, the tour guidebook includes a passport: a page with numbered squares in which to collect stamps from each location on the tour. Collect eight or more stamps and send the page to Tacoma Arts Commission and you become eligible to win a prize package containing artwork by some of the artists on the tour. While most of the artists will have their
studios open on both days, some will be available just one (see the list following or consult the tour book for specifics). The Tacoma Art Bus will provide the full tourist experience on Oct. 17. The bus leaves from 805 Pacific Ave. at 11 a.m. Cost is $11 for regular fare or $22 for a VIP ticket, which includes a gift bag. Tickets may be purchased in advance at duchessofdowntowntours.com or on Oct. 17 a half hour before departure. Studio tourists will have opportunity to observe a vast array of art ranging from traditional easel painting to fabric design. One can visit the print works of talented and dynamic letterpress artists like Chandler O’Leary and Yoshiko Yamamoto. One can go to the place where Claudio Riedener makes her colorful, high-relief, ceramic tiles. An old brick industrial building in Nalley Valley contains the workshops of some of Tacoma’s great painters like Becky Frehse and William Turner. At Manitou Art Center visitors can watch potters like Jenifer Davis and Lucy Nilan throw vessels on the potters’ wheel. The youngsters at Hilltop Artists, working out of Jason Lee Middle School, will be doing fantastic things in glass and visitors can win a chance to make a paperweight or a glass bead. Lisa Kinoshita’s Moss + Mineral will be hosting a show of work by Cathy Sarkowsky and Matt Cote and visitors can watch a demonstration on how to make a terrarium. Get out there. Get your studio guide book and get yourself psyched up to become a hometown tourist and visit some of the peculiar places and spectacular spaces where the local wizards work their magic.

FOUR ‘REFLECTIONS OF A GRUNT MARINE’ Colonel Bruce E. Meyers commanded a rifle company on the front lines in Korea. In Vietnam, he commanded the 26th Marine Corps Battalion at Khe Sahn. His distinguished service as a leader of men in combat in Korea and Vietnam will long be remembered,
but his peacetime activities for the Marine Corps may become his true legacy. Between his service in the Korean and Vietnam wars, he was involved in the development of methods for clandestine insertion of military teams into hostile territory, both from air and sea. Many of the techniques developed at that time are still in use by the SEALS and other special force units. On Oct. 14, 7 p.m., he will give a free book talk and signing at the Moore Library, 215 S. 56th Ave., Tacoma.
FIVE ‘SWAN LAKE’ There’s a good reason why “Swan Lake� is so often called the ‘ballet of all ballets’.

This full-length classic production of the world’s most famous ballet features the Russian Grand Ballet, Russia’s brightest ballet stars. Oct. 15, 7 p.m. at the Pantages Theater.

BLUES MAN TROUT MOUNTS COMEBACK A YEAR PAST THE BRINK OF DEATH By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
At first, Walter Trout was more worried about his career as he experienced chronic fatigue, vertigo and painful cramping that made it difficult to perform. Eventually, the blues man realized a lot more was at stake; he spent much of last year in hospitals, sometimes doubting he’d receive a transplant for his rapidly failing liver in time to save his life. Trout got his new liver, though, and persevered through months of rehabilitation to return to the stage at Leadbelly Fest in London in May. On Friday, Oct. 9, his comeback trail winds through Tacoma’s Jazzbones, and recently we caught up with the renowned guitarist to discuss how nearly dying changed his perspective. Tacoma Weekly: I guess the appropriate place to start is to ask how you’re doing and how your health is these days. Walter Trout: I feel great. I have more energy than I have had in years. I think I’m playin’ better. I feel like a new person; and it’s hard to believe ... but I actually feel like my best years are yet to come now. TW: That’s a good space to be in, all things considered. Trout: Yeah, a year ago I’d laugh if you told me that. Or I’d have cried. I don’t know which one. TW: For your first show back, you picked a pretty big venue - the Royal Albert Hall. Trout: Yeah, it’s not like playing at the corner bar. It was a little imposing, I have to say. After I took the gig ... I thought, “This is insane. I’m gonna walk out on this stage, and I don’t know if I’m gonna have a dizzy spell. I don’t know if my hand is gonna cramp up…” – all the things that were happening to me before. But once we started playing, I counted to four, and this great band of English musicians came in behind me, and I just felt completely at home. ... I could have played another hour and a half. TW: Was it mostly a matter of having to build yourself up physically leading up to that? Trout: Here’s the thing: The last couple of tours I did before I was put in the hospital, and even before I knew what was happening with me, I was getting incredible equilibrium problems. Both my hands were cramping up and closing like a claw, and that was terrifying. I remember playing an encore. I walked off the stage, and I had made it through the gig;
but as I walked on to do the encore, my left hand just closed, and I was in excruciating pain. I pulled my index finger open, and I played the last song with one finger. All that was the result of my liver disease, which I didn’t know at the time. I just thought, "something is really wrong with me, my career is over, and I’m done. Maybe I can get a job at Starbucks, you know?" TW: It probably goes without saying that something like that changes your perspective and TROUT maybe makes you look in a different way at things that you’ve done for years. Trout: It changes everything and the way you view life. I get up every morning, I wake up and look around and I just start laughing – like, man, I have another day here, and I feel good. ... I know that I have another chance, and I don’t take it lightly. I’m determined to be a better husband, a better father and a better musician. TW: You’ve got a new set of songs (“Battle Scars,” due Oct. 23). Lyrically, you’re reliving some of the stuff we’re talking about here. Trout: After I got the playing back and the singing and all of it back, I said to my wife, who’s managed my career for the last 23 years, “I wanna do another album.” The last album (“The Blues Came Callin’”) I was ill, and I wrote songs about, “I think maybe I’m gonna die.” There’s some pretty depressing stuff on there. Then I sat down and I wanted to write “Hey, I made it. I’m doin’ good. I feel great.” But no matter how hard I tried, everything came out ... like I was writing something for Olivia Newton John or Helen Reddy or somethin’. I told my wife, “I can’t get this. It’s eluding me.” Then she said is, “What you need to do is put yourself back in that bed you laid in for over six months. Put yourself back in there, think about it, go through it again, and write about the experience. Then it will be therapeutic for you. As soon as she gave me that idea … it took me less than two weeks to write
the whole thing. As a matter of fact, I wrote six of the songs in one day. TW: Was it maybe a matter of having these feelings that you hadn’t totally processed? Trout: It was therapeutic. It was almost like sittin’ on a couch with a shrink and goin’ through it and trying to get past it, you know. Both myself and my wife, we’ve still got a bit of PTSD from the whole thing. It was pretty traumatic. TW: I can only imagine. Trout: I pretty much died a couple of times. One of the songs on the album is about a near-death experience where I was gone, and I was in a coma for a week. I had brain damage, and I couldn’t speak English, and I didn’t know who my wife and kids were. I lost 120 pounds. They had me on a ventilator. I mean, I was a gone.

TW: I’m guessing you’re talking about the song “Almost Gone.” Trout: Yes, and my wife (Marie) would come in and try to give me hope every day. She’d come in and give me a talk. “You’ve gotta hold on, you know. We have to keep hope alive. We have to hope for the best.” But a lot of times I could see it in her eyes, and in the doctor’s eyes, that everybody thought I was a goner. TW: How important was her support as you were going through that? Trout: I had great doctors. I had incredible support from the fans, but she’s really the one who kept me alive. Every day, in spite of everything, she held my hand, took care of me. She was sort of the liaison between myself and the doctors, and she educated herself a lot about what I was going through. She was incredible. When it comes down to it, she’s the one who carried me onto an airplane and took me to Omaha, because I was gonna die in L.A. They dragged me out of the bed, they carried me to the airport in LA, and they carried me onto an airplane, and we went to Omaha.
I was in Omaha in ICU for about six weeks before they found a liver that was right for me, but that’s really the move right there that saved my life. It was her advocating for me and her taking over and being proactive there. TW: Well, congratulations on things working out for you. Trout: Well, thank you, very much. TW: Well, I’ve gotta ask you about your live show. I don’t think you’ve been here for a while, so do you have anything special planned for this tour? Trout: Well, I have a new bass player (Johnny Griparic) who is awesome. He is really takin’ my band to a new level. I don’t wanna say bad things about people, but let’s put it this way; my band used to be three guys who were working together and one guy who would not. Now we’re four guys who work together, and we play as a team. This bass player’s incredible. He was with Slash for 12 years. He was with Carole King. He was with Steve Winwood. He was with Don Felder from the Eagles. He’s an a-lister. He’s told me that playing in my band is the most fun he’s ever had musically, which feels really good to me to have him say that. TW: He says this is the most fun he’s had playin’, but you’ve obviously shared the stage with some really special people, from John Lee Hooker to Big Mama Thornton – playing with John Mayall and that sort of thing. What would you rank as your top experiences? Trout: As far as fun – just pure, unadulterated fun with no pressure and no worries – five years with John Mayall wins. All I had to do was travel the world, get paid well, stay in great hotels and come out and play a couple of guitar solos every night. John is a dear friend, and his sense of humor is second to none. So it was just a laugh the whole time. It was a blast. But it’s much more fulfilling to me to be able to write and play my own songs and to front my own band. It’s fun in a different way. I have to say probably in the history of my band htat the last tour I did this past summer was probably the most fun. We’re playing as a team. My hand isn’t cramping. I’m not having balance problems. I feel a lot of energy. Now I just feel great, man.

JAN As a former soldier who spoke very little about 20time as a prisoner of war in the Korean War, his William Jones’ request to preserve the memory of his time as a Buffalo Soldier is something his family took to heart. Following his death in 2009, his daughter, Jackie Jones-Hook, began formalizing a museum in honor of the all-black regiment of the United States military. In 2012, the Buffalo Soldier Museum in Tacoma opened its doors as a haven for students and members of the community to learn about a piece of history that took place between 1866 and 1944 – and is all-too-often forgotten in the textbooks.

Dudley Taft returns with 'Skin and Bones' By Ernest A. Jasmin
ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
Dudley Taft had a pretty solid run on Seattle’s burgeoning alternative rock scene in the 1990s, first as a member of Sweet Water – a band best known for its cult hit, “Head Down” - and later as the primary songwriter for Second Coming. But those salad days could only last so long. “Since Second Coming sort of disintegrated in ‘99, I got a little disheartened because I’d had two major label deals. It was really exciting until it wasn’t,” the singer-guitarist recalled, chuckling on his end of the line in his hometown, Cincinnati, where he returned in 2013. He’ll be back in Tacoma, headlining Doyle’s Public House with his Dudley Taft Band on Saturday, Oct. 10. Taft recalled further disappointment with his next rock project, Omnivoid, which released a pair of EPs, “Combustion” and “Ignition,” in 2005 and 2006. “We would play Studio 7,” he said. “Suddenly, there were five, six, seven bands a night, and the only other people comin’ to watch ‘em were these guys in other bands. I was a little depressed by it, and so I thought, ‘You know what - (screw) it - I’m gonna do somethin’ totally different.” His response was Dudley Taft Blues Overkill, which started as a ZZ Top cover band aimed solely at reconnecting with the joy of playing live music. But something funny happened as he and his band mates scoured YouTube, trying to sort out the chord changes to “Tush” and “Sharp Dressed Man.” “That’s when I discovered Freddie King and some of the older blues guys,” he said. “I kind of realized that the music I grew up listening to in the Midwest, all of that classic rock and southern rock, was largely based on the blues from the Delta, Mississippi (and) from Texas.” His group expanded its repertoire to include classics from the likes of King, T-Bone Walker and Johnny Winter; but eventually, Taft couldn’t resist the urge to write again.

TAFT'S BACK. The singer-songwriter headlines Doyle's this weekend.
“I kind of hit a point where I go, ‘OK, I can’t do this anymore. I’ve gotta do my own thing because I’m a songwriter,’” he said. “I still play a lot of covers, but emphasis is on my original stuff, and usually the cover tunes that I play are highly re-engineered. So we do a version of ‘Backdoor Man’ that’s off of our first record, and it’s wildly different from the Doors’ version or Howlin’ Wolf’s version. We kind of do our own dealio with it.” This weekend, Taft and his band – bassist John Kessler, drummer Carl Martin and newcomer Eric Roberts on keyboards - will unveil songs from their fourth album, “Skin and Bones.” Taft described taking a more laid back approach to crafting the new collection, which is due on Oct. 16. “I’d catch a buzz, I’d write some riffs,” he said, alluding to his work as a pot activist. He and his brother, Woody, are spokesmen for Responsible Ohio, a group pushing an amendment that could legalize recreational marijuana use in Ohio if passed next month. “I’d put ‘em down in the iPhone, and then when (my band) came out, I’d have a play list of all these riffs. We would work them up in the room right there, which is not how I wrote my previous records. I’d work out all the arrangements by myself, then
we’d have to spend all the money to record, so I really had to have my (stuff) together. But this time I really didn’t, you know, because we could take as much time as we wanted in there, and I really like that. I’m coming up with stuff that’s gonna be more fun to play live.” For that, he can also thank none other than Peter Frampton. Taft bought the classic rocker’s old house when he moved back to Cincinnati, and it came equipped with a state-ofthe-art recording studio. “It’s somewhere in between (Seattle studios) London Bridge and Studio X, although the live room is not as big as either of those places,” he marveled. “He came in one day with a crew, and we hung out most of the day. It was really fun. I actually hung out with him, and he showed me the ins and outs of the studio; left me like 20 mic stands - a $10,000 headphone system, power amps. There’s a giant projection screen thing. This studio, it’s amazing.” Fans should also look out for a series of video releases from the new project. Taft hit the road with director Alex Hoelscher, and they shot a series of clips in New Orleans, Memphis and the Mississippi Delta that will debut on the web site for Vintage Guitar magazine (www.vintageguitar.com) on Monday, Oct. 12.

WITCHY WOMAN HOROSCOPES Christina Wheeler has been studying astrology for the past 22 years. She writes, creates, laughs too loud, and owns a store called The Nearsighted Narwhal in Tacoma, WA. If you ever want to chew the fat about astrology, contact her at tinathehyena@gmail.com. ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Relationships will take the main focus this week as you don’t feel that you can accomplish much without the presence of a partner. You may be feeling more lovey-dovey than usual and your partner takes notice. Try not to get too caught up in details or let imperfections within your relationships gnaw at you. Nothing is perfect, everything is flawed, but you’re still able to see the beauty through the cracks.
LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) You may be requiring more attention or affirmations of love than usual right now. If you’re going through a rough time, let your partner know what you need from them. Don’t let anger about unmet needs run its course. Nip it in the bud and realize that no one is a mind reader. Hand hold as long as you need to. Let yourself sink into the good feelings and don’t come up for air until you feel fulfilled.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) You will taking the time out of your busy schedule to show the ones you love just how much they mean to you by the gift of service. Whether it’s back rubs, doing the dishes when it isn’t your turn, or helping someone to care for themselves, you are there and you are their rock of support. Just make sure when you end your night, you take some time to take care of yourself too.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) There may be some kind of psychic connection with those you love this week. For some reason-whether things are sloping up or down-you are able to tap into their feelings and intrinsically know exactly what they need from you. Being separate may be a strain, as right now you want nothing more than to be in a healthy partnership and around someone that just gets you. Hold out. Your time is coming.
GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Creative partnerships abound this week. Perhaps you are looking at a new opportunity arising to allow you to show the world your knack for visionary works. Whatever the case may be, it will not be a solo gig. You will find strength in numbers, as your contributions blend beautifully with others. Don’t be afraid to relax into a group. Your ingenious ways will always shine through and people will take notice.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Count on yourself being the hero this week. Whether it’s in small or big ways, you are able to see what needs to be done for the greater good.You get it done without complaint and without fuss and people appreciate this about you. Your close friends are likely to close in around you and show you their love for you and vice versa. Gratitude will be flowing both ways so count on that happiness.
CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Touching on home life and partnerships is an important undertaking for you. Bringing those you love into your home and spending quality time with them is what’s needed. You will find a very organic sense of comfort by just reveling in a partnership and keeping it as close to home as possible. Comfort with love is the name of the game, so grab your favorite blanket and your partner and relax into life.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Business partnerships will be flourishing this week, so you can count on that blessing. You’re able to get ahead faster and with less snags when you have someone to fall back on. You can expect things to just work for you this week as long as you’re working with someone else. If you’re a lone wolf, this is a great exercise in learning to trust another. If you’re not, you will be within your element.
LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Communications with someone you love is important right now. If the lines have been down or muddled lately, it will start to take a toll unless you correct the situation. It’s easy to get swept up in everything that is going wrong, but if you show a partner that you care enough to tackle these problems, the air will be cleared and you can begin a new chapter from there. Don’t just speak. Listen.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) You may find yourself in the midst of a new learning experience through the words or actions of someone else. There is much to be learned from other people, and this week it will become very apparent that the people you love are holding lessons that you need to learn. Sit down with them and open up about your life and ask for their guidance. They will be more than willing to impart words of wisdom.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Working through issues at home in a private manner with a partner is likely. Reassessing your ironclad morals and bouncing new ideas off a loved one can help to bring a fresh perspective to thoughts that have circled your head too many times. Sometimes we need to take a step back and ask for that help and that has to be okay. We were not meant to do it all on our own. Be thankful for your support group.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) You may be staring down the barrel of good ol’ fashioned obsession this week. Someone has managed to catch your ever-roaming eye and it starts as a tiny flame and explodes into a full blown wildfire. It will fill you up just when you are starting to feel empty and that can be a good thing as long as you don’t allow it to consume your life. Keep your feet planted firmly in reality but your head in the clouds.

Our charismatic boyโ s eyes also twinkle merrily, despite some slight clouding in the right eye (this will need to be evaluated regularly be a veterinarian). He too would make a great sidekick given his โ people bunnyโ personality โ heโ s all about saying hi and befriending everyone.

VOLUNTEERS WE NEED YOU AS A VOLUNTEER!!! WHAT: The concept is simple: stand up for immigrants by sitting down for a meal. Participating immigrant owned and immigrant allied restaurants donate (a minimum of) 25% of the days sales to more than 3,600 immigrants, refugees, and long-term residents benefiting from Tacoma Community House’s four core programs: education, employment, immigration, and advocacy (domestic violence).

WE NEED YOUR HELP: We are in need of ambassadors to volunteer at participating restaurants.

The tasks include: Attend a mandatory orientation/training the week of October 12th; Encouraging their family, co-workers and friends to dine at their favorite participating restaurant on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015; On the day of the event, ambassadors will greet patrons and thank them for participating in Flavor, or thank them if they do not know about Flavor/TCH, and then tell them a little about event and a brief overview of the agency. New this Year: An appreciation drawing for a wonderful prize (up to 13 volunteers) will take place after the event! If you are interested in volunteering as an ambassador or if you have any questions please contact our Volunteer Services Manager, Karen Thomas at kthomas@tacomacommunityhouse.org or call 253-383-3951.
