HELPING HAND. Homeless youth in Pierce County between the ages of 13 and 24, like the client pictured at left, are getting help to secure housing and stability in their lives thanks to generous people opening their homes to the youth. Housed in the Schneebeck Building (right), Shared Housing Services (SHS) offers many programs. Some of its staff was invited to attend a panel recently with U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro (standing center in middle photo); to the left of him are SHS Youth Host Home Case Manager Leigh Lindstrom, SHS Program Coordinator/Housing Specialist Amy Klippert, SHS Executive Director Mark Merrill, and three associates from the children’s advocacy organization The REACH Foundation on Castro’s right.

OVERLOOKED, BUT A TACOMA-BASED SHARED-HOUSING ORGANIZATION IS FIGHTING TO END THE PATTERN AND MATCH HOMELESS YOUTH WITH LOCAL HOME PROVIDERS. By Carolin Jones carolin@tacomaweekly.com
A
group especially vulnerable to the dangers of homeless living is youth. Unaccompanied youth and young adults between the ages of 13 and 24 without a legal guardian constitute about 5 percent, or 90 people, from the roughly 1,800 homeless persons living in Pierce County according to a recent Community Connections study.

Jim Valley came of age as rock and roll was in its infancy and garage bands roamed the Northwest. It was the '50s, and Valley played the trumpet, quickly adapted to guitar and formed his first band – Vince Valley and his Chain Gang. Their first gig was a 15-minute set between records at a junior high school. “It was wonderful,” Valley said. If it was all a Tacoma boy could want, it wasn't enough for long. Valley
made the one-in-10,000 odds jump and went from garage band to lead guitarist for one of the country's most popular acts – Paul Revere and the Raiders. At the pinnacle of his success, Valley walked away and at one point found himself working for the railroad. The long trek back to enjoying his own music began in the Tacoma School District and would take him around the world, performing for and with children. “Some people say it was fate,” Valley said, sitting in a Gig Harbor home u See VallEy / page A10

Puget Sound residents will vote on a $54 billion transit package in November that will raise property taxes, sales taxes and vehicle tabs to fund mass transit projects around the region. The Sound Transit 3 package, known on the ballot as Proposition 1, includes several key projects in Pierce County, including the routing of light rail service closer to the suburban cities of University Place and Fircrest, with a planned station at Tacoma Community College and rail service between Federal Way and Tacoma with stops in Fife. Voters approved Sound Transit 2 in 2008. The first mass transportation package, that formed the regional transit agency, passed in 1996. Mass Transit Now campaigners supporting the transit package include former Con-

CONTROLLING CRIME TAKES EVERYONE DOING LITTLE THINGS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Crime isn't usually random. Criminals often know their victims, or at least see them as easy targets by them not being aware of their surroundings. University Place Public Safety Manager Jennifer Hales says the top crime-prevention tip residents can follow has nothing to do with security systems or personal defense training. It has to do with simply trusting their instincts. If something seems weird, something likely is weird. Call the police. u See cRimE / page A7

Bulletin Board WUTC TO HOLD HEARINGS ON PSE GAS PLANT PLANS The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission will hold two hearings next week regarding the financial plan regarding the proposed liquefied natural gas plant on the tideflats. The proposed plan would have ratepayers of Puget Sound Energy share in the cost of construction of the 8 million gallon facility that would be used to provide fuel for Totem Ocean Express container ships and serve as storage for natural gas the utility could use during extreme weather. The commission will hold an evidentiary hearing at 9:30 a.m., on Monday, Oct. 17, in Room 206, Second Floor, Richard Hemstad Building, 1300 S. Evergreen Park Dr. S.W., Olympia, Washington. A second hearing will include time for public comment and will be held at 6 p.m., on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the same location. Some members of the environmental community question the risk to ratepayers for a $275 million project that would also benefit a private company. More information about the meeting can be found at utc. wa.gov, using the docket number UG-151663.
11TH AND TACOMA With fall settling in to the Great Northwest – and Halloween just around the corner – the Tacoma Weekly is celebrating the season by giving our Pothole Pig the month off and introducing his temporary stand-in Pothole Pumpkin for the month of October.
Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.” In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. Two road packages passed by voters last year added money to the city’s street fund. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

WESTERN STATE HOSPITAL REVISES POLICIES In coordination with local law enforcement offices, Western State Hospital has revised its policy on patient escapes and unauthorized leaves to ensure that law enforcement has accurate, reliable, timely and appropriate information to protect their safety and the safety of the public when responding to a missing patient report. “The staff at WSH made extraordinary effort to include police and other stakeholders in their policy review process. Updating policies for an entity the size of WSH is neither quick nor easy. CEO Strange and her staff should be commended for their dedication and determination to make these necessary improvements,” said Lakewood Police Chief Michael Zaro. “I am confident that the work they did will result in a more efficient response from police and, more importantly, a safer environment both in the hospital and in the surrounding communities.” Highlights of the revised policy include: • A clear definition of the differences between escapes and unauthorized leaves, • Clarity as to individual roles of clinical, nursing, security, escort, communication and administrative staff in response to escapes and ULs, • A streamlined process for timely notification of the incident, including the circumstances for implementing an incident command structure, • More specific information for law enforcement responding to an escape or UL at WSH: • Clear outline of the level system for civilly committed patients. More advanced levels allow for patients to have grounds privileges and police must have accurate information about the heightened risks and needs associated with individual patients • Timely information about a missing patient’s most recent assaultive or threatening history. Under the revised policy, both escape and unauthorized leave status are defined as patients who leave a supervised setting on or off grounds without staff permission or patients who fail to return from grounds privileges or authorized leave at the prescribed time. “Western State Hospital is a good neighbor and demonstrated a willingness to collaborate with local law enforcement agencies to ensure we have the information we need to protect our residents,” said Chief T. J. Rodriguez of the Steilacoom Department of Public Safety. “Our department appreciates the hospital for seeking local feedback and suggestions as they created a policy which balances the community’s safety with the safety needs of the hospital’s patients.” Unauthorized patient walkaways at WSH have dropped dramatically from 181 in 2014 to 81 in 2015. March 2016 was the first month in years with no reported “unauthorized leave” incidents. From May through September there were 16 unauthorized leaves, of which four were reported to law enforcement. CITY TO BEGIN SNOW AND ICE TRAINING Residents could see snow plows operating throughout the city on Wednesday, Oct. 19, between 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. as part of the City of Tacoma’s effort to be prepared for winter snowstorms. During this time frame, emergency snow vehicles will be dispatched so crews can experience operating these vehicles along snow routes and around the travelling public. During a snowstorm event City crews plow and de-ice streets on a priority level, beginning with primary arterial streets, followed by secondary and auxiliary routes. The time required to clear these routes depends on the intensity of a particular snowstorm and how much snow or ice accumulates. Residents can prepare for winter weather now by: • Equipping vehicles with good tires, windshield wipers, chains, sand and emergency supplies. • Researching public transportation options. • For those living on a hill or somewhere difficult to access in the snow, look for a place to legally park your vehicle on nights when snow is forecasted. Also, choose a location where putting on chains can be done safely.

Symphony officials are mum on the details, saying that they will be unveiled at the "New World Masquerade Gala" on Friday, Oct. 21, but one thing won't change: the organization's dedication to inspiring audiences with live musical experiences that transcend tradition. "Our goal is to welcome people in to join our active, vibrant musical community," said Executive Director Andy Buelow. "In this day of MP3s and IPods, we still believe music is best experienced live as a group activity. We're keeping musical performance alive in the heart of our region."

A grieving mother already dealing with the pain of losing her baby boy is now devastated after her car was stolen last weekend. It wasn’t just Lindsey Othmer’s transportation; it was a DAVID ROSE mobile memorial to little Isaac Nunes’ memory. He accidentally choked to death two months ago. Lindsey says pictures, videos and any reminder of Isaac have helped this family cope. It’s why Isaac’s dad, Jimi Nunes, turned his Honda Civic into a moving memorial for their son.
Washington license plate AYW9753. “Whoever it was, if it was just one person, just give it back,” said Othmer. “It’s more to us what it is to you.” Othmer said the car doesn’t bring Isaac back, but it helps keep his memory alive. “We lost our child and then you’re going to take more stuff from us, as if what we’ve lost isn’t already enough,” said Othmer. If you spot the car or know who took it, call Crime Stoppers of TacomaPierce County at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. All calls are anonymous and there is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case. This is one of the cases featured Friday night on “Washington’s Most Wanted” at 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.
“A lot of people deal with things in their own way, and that car was how he dealt with our son’s passing,” said Othmer. Last Saturday morning, Othmer said, someone stole the car from their apartment on South Highland Avenue with everything inside, including Isaac’s first binky, his bear and the baseball hat he wore to his first Tacoma Rainiers game. “That car is more than material value; it is sentimental value to me, to my son and to his father,” said Othmer. It’s why she’s pleading to get the dark Green 1996 Honda Civic Coupe back along with the angel wings and a halo surrounded by the words “In Loving Memory Isaac Matthew Nunes.” It has
FAWCETT STUDENTS GET SURPRISE VISIT FROM DEA AND BLITZ By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox
Students at Fawcett Elementary got a surprise visit Tuesday from the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Lincoln High School Marching Band and cheerleaders along with the Extraordinary Futures DAVID ROSE dance group. The kids quickly realized it wasn’t a normal day at school when Blitz from the Seahawks rode in on top of a DEA Hummer leading to squeals of joy. It was all part of the DEA’s Red Ribbon Campaign. Students all over the U.S. are wearing red ribbons this week in memory of DEA agent Kiki Camarena who was murdered by a drug cartel in 1985. “The message we want all the children to
take away from here is make good choices, live a healthy lifestyle, be productive and just take care of themselves,” said DEA Special Agent in Charge Keith Weis. Students also got to talk with a DEA pilot, clandestine lab investigator and intelligence analyst. A DEA helicopter even did a couple of laps over the kids who were gathered behind the school. The Tacoma Police Department had several officers in attendance as well. At the end of the program, I led all of the children in the Students’ Pledge. • I pledge to stay in school and learn the things that I need to know. • I pledge to make the world a better place for kids like me to grow. • I pledge to keep my dreams alive and be all that I can be. • I pledge to help others and to keep myself drug free.

CLINTON HOLDS LEAD IN LOCAL POLL
The results for the second week of the Tacoma Weekly’s presidential poll show that Democrat Hilary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine held their lead over Republican Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick Mike Pence. The second week’s results has Clinton with 76.9 percent versus Trump’s 19.5 percent with Libertarian Gary Johnson receiving 1.9 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 1.1 percent. Now remember, this is just a local poll and is far from scientific. A few times during the first week, for example, several hundred votes were cast in a matter of hours from the same IP address. Those votes were deleted from the system. We have added an anti-bot feature to safeguard against the repeat of such poll-jacking in the future. But, as you know, politically minded computer users can be an interesting bunch.

“The goal is to house unaccompanied youth with high barriers and place them in a home-sharing situation, and give them a place to live while we assist them with their educational and career goals,” says Amy Klippert, Youth Host Home Program coordinator. In partnership with Associated Ministries and The REACH Center (Resources for Education and Career Help), the Youth Host Home Program connects homeless youth, youth in shelters and homeless domestic violence survivors with individualized case management that matches them with the best housing fit for their situation. “People confuse it with foster care, but it's actually very different. We help our young adults to be as selfsufficient as possible,” says Klippert. The program is aimed to prepare the youth for selfsufficiency within a year, with homeowners acting as mentors along the way. “The biggest challenge is finding home providers. People don't understand what kind of support we can provide for them,” says Klippert. After hosting international students, and being open to the idea of a new roommate, Pierce County resident Jennifer did know that she wanted to make a difference in someone's life. Through the program, a match with a young woman was made. “I feel like it's a win-win. I am helping someone get started with their life as an adult, and she fits right into our family,” she says. Turning her son's old bedroom into a new home for someone in need was Jennifer's way of "giving back to the community.” After receiving a brief training regarding self-care, quality mentorship, conflict resolution and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Jennifer (last name withheld for confidentiality) met her family's new addition and is now helping with tasks like building a budget. “It's what I would do for my children; it's what I would do for any of my friends,” she says. “We have a goal to get youth housed within 30 days, and as of now we've housed all of our participants in under 30 days,” Klippert says. She hopes that the program will continue to grow and families or individuals with a spare room will consider providing the extra space. Both parties will receive a background check to ensure a safe environment for everyone, and weekly check-ins guarantee the success of the program and a positive experience for home providers and youth. “These are people that might have not come from the same background to be open to hearing their story without judging who they are or where they are in their lives,” Jennifer says. “This program is out to end chronic homelessness. They are interrupting a pattern that could become chronic for someone.” Klippert is hoping that people open to shared living spaces and taking the challenge of being a mentor will reach out to Shared Housing Services to get connected with a young adult in need of a haven. Home providers will receive a stipend to cover monthly rent. Anyone that doesn't have space or time is welcome to contribute through monetary donations, donating hygiene products, bed sheets and towels or volunteering for any of the home-sharing programs. Any individual or family interested in hosting a young adult is encouraged to reach out to Shared Housing Services at (253) 272 1532 or www. sharedhousingservices.org.
NEW FIFE SWIM SHOP HOLDS RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY
OPENING. The Fife Aquatic Center cut the ribbon on its new swim shop on Oct. 11. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com
Visitors to the Fife Aquatic Center may notice some changes to the front end of the building, particularly in regard to a brand new swim shop that features various suits and equipment swimmers may need. The center held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Oct. 11 to celebrate the new shop, which featured regular swimmers as well as city officials and employees. The Fife Swim Shop hopes to hit a real need with South Sound swimmers. Fife Aquatics Director Megan Jendrick said that with the recent closures of other local shops, they have a large market to fill. “We’ve been open a little over a month, and already exceeded our sales expectations,” Jendrick said. “We are year-round swimmers at the Aquatics Center, so we hope this new shop will fill our swimmers’ year-round retail needs.” The popularity of the swim center makes it the perfect location for the shop, which is sure to see plenty of traction. “We have so many patrons com-

“We are year-round swimmers at the Aquatics Center, so we hope this new shop will fill our swimmers’ year-round retail needs.” – Fife Aquatics Director Megan Jendrick ing into our facility on a daily basis, and our learn-to-swim program is the biggest in the Northwest with just over 12,000 kids coming in, and they all have a need. Everyone has to have a swim suit when they come in here, and year round it is hard to find swimsuits, especially in the kids’ sizes,” Jendrick said. “This was a request from our patrons we’ve had for a few years and we were finally able to make that happen. With the launch of our swim team two years ago, this is perfect timing, because they have that need as well.” The Swim Shop will also carry packaged ice-cream bars in the pool lobby as a hard-earned treat
for swimmers. These are the latest changes in a long line of improvements that Jendrick has made since taking over the director position earlier this year. Other improvements include extended hours, new marketing materials, new events and accepting the Silver Sneakers program. The Aquatic Center is open Monday from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, visit cityoffife.org or call the front desk at (253) 922-7665.

KIDS IN BUSINESS: A DAD AND DAUGHTER TALK A P S P By William Manzanares william@tacomaweekly.com
With fall having arrived and school now back in full swing, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to get kids interested in business – how to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in young people starting at the earliest age possible. Myself, I was engaging in business transactions going back to grade school when I opened a “store” in my bedroom to sell candy bars and such to my elementary school classmates. It started me on a path of self-employment that remains strong to this day. To further explore this topic, I sat down recently with my 13-year-old daughter Vanessa, who interviewed me about business, and I learned a lot from her point of view, just as she picked up a few pointers from me. My hope is that parents and teachers will share this article with the young people in their lives and get a conversation started about all the options available for youth to achieve a satisfying and rewarding future for themselves. My daughter started with the basic question: Vanessa: What is business? William: Business is all around us. If you look around, everything has gotten to where you’re at because of business – the shoes on your feet, the sweatshirt on your back – everything around us is business. It’s all about trading services. If someone is good at making a shirt, they trade their time for money to provide that service. Vanessa: What would make someone want to get into business? William: You get to be your own boss, create your own hours and you get to make money. Vanessa: How do you start a business? William: To start a business, you have to first solve a problem. What problem are you trying to solve? The answer to that question could very well be the basis for your own business – you have to be able to provide a good service, like a lemonade stand. Someone has to be thirsty to want to buy lemonade from a lemonade stand. Would you set up a lemonade stand on a rainy day? Vanessa: No. William: When would you do a lemonade stand? Vanessa: On a hot, sunny day. William: Why is that? Vanessa: Because they’re thirsty. William: Yes, so you’re solving a problem, and you have to pick the timing so that the timing is right. Would you sell ice cream in the winter? Vanessa: No. William: The ice cream man comes around the summer, right? That’s because it’s hot and you want ice cream. That’s what we mean by solving a need – you have to solve the need at the time someone needs it. Vanessa: How do you make your business unique from others? William: That’s the thing – other businesses already have things created, but there is room to improve on what they are not making or what they may lack in their service. Like McDonald’s and Burger King – they both sell burgers, but they’re different kinds of burgers. Would you agree? Vanessa: Yes, but then you look at Wendy’s, Five Guys, In-N-Out… How do you make another different burger? William: You have to be different and set yourself apart. What do you know about Five Guys? Vanessa: Their burgers are big… William: …and they have homemade fries, right? That’s what separates them. And they don’t have a drive-through – you walk in. They have a different theme and different look. Vanessa: What do you say to those kids out there wanting to make their own color changing T-shirt company, for example? William: For every kid, you have to start learning basic money skills. Where would you say kids go to get money? Vanessa: Their parents. William: And what happens when their parents say no? Vanessa: Then you have to find your own way – sell something at a yard sale, a lemonade stand… William: I had the fortunate situation of being where my parents couldn’t just hand me money. And I’d see other kids getting brand new stuff and I didn’t get brand new stuff. Instead of sitting back and saying I wish I would have this or that, it made me think of creative ways to come up with money and I knew I had to go make it. So I think parents shouldn’t just give their kids money – they should ask their kids what they could do to earn it. Vanessa: There are plenty of kids out there who want to do stuff, but their parents say no. Say their kid wants
P Vanessa Manzanares (right) and dad William (left) talk a lot about her future and that of other kids her age, with self-employment being as viable an option as becoming a doctor or lawyer. to grow up and own a vape shop and their parents say no. You can’t make your kid do something they don’t want to do when they’re older. You want to let your kid do what they’re best at and once they get older, they’ll realize what’s good for them. You can’t push them to make them someone they’re not, like a doctor or lawyer. William: I think that’s a great point when you say “the best at.” In school when you’re taught something you’re bad at, they say keep working on that because you’re bad at it – you’re not good enough yet. That’s not business. In business, you take what you’re best at and you hire people that are better at the job than you in other areas. In business, you don’t waste your time on what you’re bad at. I do not personally waste my time on what I’m bad at – I hire people to do stuff that they’re good at and that’s the thing I would sum up with business. Say you may be really good at making the lemonade but you’re shy to talk to people… Vanessa: …but you’re good at selling it… William: Yes, I’m good at talking to people, but when I make the lemonade, it’s too sweet. And if you started a lemonade stand at a young age, you would learn how many hours it took you to make, say, $5. Would you think a little bit more before you spend that $5 if it took you all day out in the hot sun to earn it? Vanessa: Yes, definitely… William: A lot of time I think parents should not just give their kids money and instead help them find ways to work for it, otherwise the kid will just stop. “Mom says no, Dad says no” and that’s it. Vanessa: Say you got the $5 and you go to Toys R Us and you want a Lego set. You have to think, “I’m going to play with this for 10 minutes then I’ll have to go work in the hot sun again to get $5 because I don’t even want to
play with this toy anymore.” William: Does every one of your friends have an iPhone or Android? Vanessa: Yes… William: And I’ll bet you that some of those parents don’t have all that much money but every one of their kids has an iPhone. Why do you think that is? Vanessa: Because they want to be connected with their kid whenever they need to call them or text them. William: Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that everyone else’s kid has an iPhone so why can’t my kid have one? Vanessa: That could be. Parents feel that their kid needs to have what other kids have. William: Do kids talk about having to do chores in order to get their iPhone? Vanessa: Not really, just the basics – do the dishes, take the garbage out and keep your room clean… William: But they get paid an allowance for this too? Vanessa: No, I never hear about kids getting allowances anymore. I think it’s just like, “Hey, mom, can I have $10 to go get something to eat with my friends?” It’s not really an allowance anymore – nobody does that. William: Do kids your age in 8th grade talk about what they want to be when they get older? Vanessa: A lot are still deciding… I’ve always had it in my heart that I want to be a heart doctor. I want to stick with that. There are a lot of people who say, “I want to be a race car driver” or “I want to be a veterinarian” but once they get older they’re working at jobs they hate because they didn’t set their goals high enough to reach. They set their standards low and they kept them low. You’ve got to set your standards high and keep them high.

TACOMA, IT’S TIME TO RETHINK COLUMBUS DAY Monday was Columbus Day. It was a time when federal buildings and Postal Service offices were closed, so their workers could mark the “discovery� of the continent by a man who never set foot on it while city, county, schools and business offices largely remained open as just another start of a work week. The holiday has all the cultural significance of a mattress sale. The day could have meaning again, however, if we follow common sense as well as the rising tide of cities around the nation, by honoring the people who already lived here when Christopher Columbus found a continent that its residents even knew was missing. Changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day or Native American Day would give meaning to a holiday by honoring those people his “discovery� disrupted as well as prompt conversations about how history is taught in schools as opposed to how it actually occurred. What started in 1977 as a way to protest the invasion of North America by a European who got lost on his way to China in 1492 has become a way for cities and counties to honor their first residents and learn more about the people and cultures within their borders. The effort gained traction in 1992 with the 500th anniversary of the year that Columbus “sailed the ocean blue.� Berkeley, Calif. took the first step by renaming Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day as a symbolic way of drawing attention to the demise of Native American people and their culture through centuries of disease, war, outright murder and forced assimilation borne by Columbus’s voyage to the “New World.� Other cities have followed Berkeley’s lead by making the switch. Seattle changed two years ago. Olympia adopted Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 2014. The most recent among the list of cities to make the change was the city of Yakima, which changed Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day earlier this month. The state of South Dakota marks the holiday as Native American Day. Hawaii celebrates Discoverers' Day, commemorating the Polynesian discoverers of Hawaii. It simply makes sense for Tacoma to now come onboard and also make the switch – a city named after the Native American name for the region’s largest landmark with much of the city inside the sovereign Puyallup Tribe’s borders.
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, The Seattle Times posted a story in the NW section on Sept. 7 called “City Council clears route for lower speed limits in Fall.� I would like to congratulate the City of Seattle and its residents for the clear and progressive actions taken to reduce the posted speed limits in their city. This will not only make those neighborhoods safer; it will also help reduce noise pollution and bring back a more harmonious neighborhood way of life. We can only hope that the City of Tacoma can do the same. Our residential neighborhoods are being overrun with aggressive, speeding and noisy motorists. Streets with posted limits of 30 mph are an invitation for some motorists to drive 35, 40 and 45 mph because they can get away with it. I cringe at times watching motorists zip by in my neighborhood well above the posted 30 mph, seemingly clueless to that fact that our neighbors and friends are in extremely close proximity – an accident waiting to happen. We are being held hostage by excessive amounts of cars driving too fast in front of our homes. Of course, we cannot shut roads down, but lowering the speed limits will help ensure that we are safer and can enjoy a better way of life where we live. To our visitors, commuters crossing through town, and neighbors: Please show the same respect while driving as you would expect from others driving in front of your home. For those conscientious drives that do, thank you! To the City of Tacoma: We realize that enforcing the speeding laws on all those streets is not practical, so please consider our well-being and change the posted limits to 25 mph for the posted 30 mph streets in residential areas. That small amount of reduction will help bring about safer, friendlier, more connected, more harmonious neighborhoods and happier tax-paying citizens. I, for one, believe that safety and the value of our lifestyles in our neighborhoods supersede commuters’ needs to gain a few minutes on their commute. Glenn Austin - Tacoma

CALL IT THE U.S. FIRE SERVICE
By Don C. Brunell
The costs to fight wildfires has risen so high that a pair of Montana senators suggest that the U.S. Forest Service should be renamed “U.S. Fire Service.� Senators Jon Tester (D) and Steve Daines (R) told the Billings Gazette in late August that the rising costs are crippling the agency’s essential non-fire related work. Fire suppression now costs consumers over half of the Forest Service budget compared with 16 percent 20 years ago. The lawmakers introduced legislation to appropriate $1.4 billion more to fight forest and range fires this year, but it died. Given our unfettered national debt and failure of federal revenue to keep pace with government spending, it is highly unlikely that the Forests Service will see additional funds. It will continue to rob other programs to fight fires. That means less money for restoration work in watershed, research and technical service, and programs that support thousands of recreation jobs that bring billions into rural communities. Firefighting employment at the agency swelled from 5,700 in 1998 to more than 12,000 in 2015. Meanwhile, the nonfirefighting staff has been chopped by 40 percent. Forest road building has been cut in half and deferred maintenance was cut 95 percent, the Gazette reports, even though $5.1 billion is urgently needed for dam repairs, roads and rural water and sewer projects.
There is another way that Congress can infuse more money into the Forest Service budget, employ more workers in the woods and help cash strapped rural timber dependent counties – increase timber sales on federal lands. In 2013, a bipartisan trio of Oregon congressmen – Peter DeFazio (D), Kurt Schrader (D) and Greg Walden (R) – drafted legislation that placed about 1.6 million acres of the 2.8 million acres covered by the bill in a state-managed trust focused on timber production. It also restored federal timber payments to counties because logging was restricted or tied up in court. That bill died because President Obama threatened to veto it. That same year, former Washington Congressman Doc Hastings (R) introduced a bill requiring the Forest Service to produce at least half of the sustainable annual yield of timber required under law since 1908 and to share 25 percent of those receipts with rural counties. Hastings pointed out that wildfires burned 9.3 million acres in 2012, while the Forest Service only harvested 200,000 acres of timber. The agency spent $1.77 billion on wildfire suppression. The Richland congressman reasoned that the cost of proactive healthy forest management is far less than the cost of wildfire suppression and cleaning up the aftermath. National forests were created in part to provide timber income for the taxpayers, Hastings said. “But political pressure has
slowed harvests to a trickle, resulting in an enormous loss of income for taxpayers and creating the perfect conditions for massive wildfires that wreak havoc on the economy and the environment.� Studies show that large-scale fires in western and southeastern states can pump as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a few weeks as motor vehicles do in a year. Scientists estimate that U.S. forest fires release 290 million metric tons of CO2 annually. �Instead of locking up our national forests – creating the conditions for these massive wildfires – we should put people to work thinning the woods and salvaging dead and diseased trees. We can then use that wood as fuel for highly efficient ‘green energy’ biomass plants,� Hastings concluded. The bottom line is that increasing timber harvests will bring more revenue to the Forest Service, thereby freeing up money for non-fire suppression work. Allowing responsible harvests outside the boundaries of national parks, wilderness, or sensitive areas would put people to work, provide lumber and paper products and lessen the risk of more massive fires.

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.
PAy Attention to domeStic violence
By Laura Finley
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Dwarfed by the enormous outpouring for breast cancer awareness month, it receives attention largely from survivors, advocates and activists. But it should warrant far greater and more careful consideration. Domestic violence is not only deadly, it is also associated with a host of other social problems. It costs the country billions in criminal justice expenditures, healthcare, lost productivity and more. It is a contributing factor to many other crimes. Yet it is preventable. This October, I implore everyone to do what they can to support survivors but also to teach our children and young adults how to engage in healthy, peaceful relationships. Here is why we should all care about domestic violence. According to the Violence Policy Center, more than 1,600 women were murdered by men in 2013. Of those, 62 percent were wives or intimate partners. Almost one-third of the mass shooting deaths in 2015 were domestic violencerelated, and in cases in which four people were killed (but not the shooter), 57 percent included family members or intimate partners as victims. Domestic violence was the reason for more than 20 percent of police officers killed in the line of duty between 2010 and 2014. Bullying is a predictor of later involvement in an abusive dating or domestic situation. Dating violence is a major cause of school massacres. According to sociologist Jessie Klein of Adelphi
University, of 12 school shootings that occurred in the U.S. between 1997 and 2002, assailants specifically targeted girls who had either rejected them or broken up with them. The boys had previously made threats against the girls, typically both in person and online. The CDC has estimated domestic violence costs $8.3 billion per year, with $5.8 billion of that in medical costs and $2.5 billion in lost productivity. Domestic violence is the most common cause of injury for women in the U.S. ages 15 to 44. Victims of domestic violence use emergency healthcare services eight times more frequently than do nonvictims. Women who have been abused are 70 percent more likely to have heart disease, 80 percent more likely to have a stroke, and 60 percent more likely to develop asthma. They are three times more likely to suffer from depression, four times more likely to commit suicide, and endure six times the rate of PTSD as non-victims. Women experiencing physical abuse are also three times more likely to report having an STI than non-abused women. More than one-third (38.8 percent) of adolescent girls tested for STI/ HIV have experienced dating violence. The increased healthcare costs for victims can persist 15 years after the abuse. According to a 2005 survey, some 64 percent of domestic violence victims say the abuse has impacted their work. It is estimated that victims lose eight million paid days of work annually. Abusers often injure or kill others while targeting victims at the workplace, as in the recent shooting at a mall in Burlington,
Dear Editor, What do Cyrus Habib, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Saul Alinsky, and the media all have in common? Well, it’s more than Washington State should want. Cyrus Habib, the Democrat candidate for Lieutenant Governor, was first spotted by George Soros, and was paid to go to Oxford as a Soros Fellow. Who is Soros? A billionaire with a radical vision to remake the entire world. Cyrus was then sent to work for Senator
Hillary Clinton, “Alinsky’s daughter,� to learn how to funnel money. Like the Clinton Foundation, over 50 percent of Habib’s contributions come from out of state Iranians. Saul Alinsky wrote “Rules for Radicals� and dedicated it to Lucifer. Radical rule is “go after people, people hurt faster than institutions.� Habib acted on this at an NRA event by putting protesters in the crowed to bring up birther issues. How does the media react? They posted articles immediately
Washington. Children who witness abuse are at greater risk for becoming either victims or abusers. They are also prone to act out in school, creating a challenging climate for teachers, administrators and classmates. They may require mental health assistance, which is also costly. And many, especially boys, end up involved in the criminal justice system – yet another cost. The above-listed statistics should be enough for us to take action in our homes, schools, workplaces and communities. We can teach our children healthy, respectful relationship boundaries and to intervene when they witness someone mistreating a date or partner. We can include these topics in our school and college curricula. We can train employers and colleagues to identify the signs of abuse and to be helpful supporters. We can educate healthcare providers and police on best practices in identifying and responding to abuse that help survivors receive the support they need and hold abusers accountable. Amazing resources are available through organizations like Futures Without Violence, The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and the Partnership for Prevention. While it is easy to buy one more pink item that contributes minimally to breast cancer awareness and research, it is equally easy to learn and act to end domestic violence. Laura Finley, Ph.D., teaches in the Barry University Department of Sociology & Criminology and is syndicated by Peace Voice.
Letter to the Editor to hurt Marty McClendon. Habib has stated, “This is a great opportunity to influence state policy with a partisan agenda,� and the Washington media endorses him. Washington State does not need partisan agenda that dedicates itself to Lucifer. It needs homegrown Eagle Scout Marty McClendon, who is an appointed United Nation Goodwill Ambassador for the Golden Rule for Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative. Dave Dormier - Gig Harbor

To highlight the concept of “trusting your gut,” she showed Youtube clips of Gavin de Becker, the author of “The Gift of Fear,” talking about how intuition works and how denying that intuition could be harmful. The crime consultant and author said one of the biggest mistakes people make is dismissing their intuition as nerves or paranoia only to become a victim, saying, “Know that you think about it…. Your mind will never waste your time.” When it comes to personal safety, the usual tips of staying in well lighted and populated areas are important, but people should also simply be watchful of where people are and to avoid places where someone could hide. But people should also avoid being distracted by phone calls or texts, earphones or other actions. “You are safer when you let it be known that you are an observer,” Hales said. Washington tops the nation in property crimes, and Pierce County ranks high within the state with 7,000 burglaries in 2015. It is on track to at least match that rate this year. One of the causes is that burglars are rarely caught or spend much time behind bars. Only 6 percent of burglars ever get arrested and only a quarter of those convicted spend more than two months in jail because county budgets can’t afford the jail staffing for criminals who commit non-

violent offenses, Hales said. That’s because property taxes increases to fund jails and other county services are capped by a statewide initiative at 1 percent per year. That leaves empty beds in jails with burglars being released early to control costs. A North Carolina study of convicted burglars concluded that more than 80 percent of burglars were arrested on other crimes within five years of their first conviction and four out of five of them burglarized homes and cars to feed their drug habits. Tips to avoid having a home burglarized include having doors and windows visible from the street by keeping bushes and trees trimmed and having areas well lighted. People should also lock doors and windows, have – and use – alarm systems, keep mail and deliveries from piling up at front doors when residents are away on vacation. But, much like personal crimes, property
crimes often can be avoided by simply being aware. People should know who lives around them and what cars they drive and what hours they generally work so people can notice a strange car on the street or unusual activity at odd hours. Burglars generally have about three minutes in homes armed with alarm systems. They first generally go to the master bedroom to get jewelry boxes on vanities or in the top drawers of cabinets then they rifle through the main closet for portable safes that they would open later. Burglars then hit the bathroom medicine cabinet for prescription drugs before heading to the living room for cameras, computers and game systems. One way to safeguard against such quick, in-and-out burglaries is for residents to “think like a burglar” and walk around the house to look for access points. A better option is to have a trusted friend or neighbor “bur-
glarize” the house by finding a way to get in and spending a few minutes looking for expensive items like electronics and jewelry. “That is a great conversation to have,” Hales said. A few technological crimefighting tools residents can use are smart phone apps like Code Red, which provides real-time emergency, community, missing person and severe weather alerts to users within the specific area. The alerts are initiated by public safety officials who use the Code RED community notification system and it works much like a hyper-local AMBER alert. University Place, for example, issued alerts to 2,700 cell phones in a matter of minutes following the Wal-Mart shooting in 2009. Services such as NextDoor.com allow neighbors to connect about issues, recommendations or concerns along their streets as do neighborhoodspecific Facebook groups. (Editor’s Note: Staff writer Steve Dunkelberger is attending the seven-week University Place Public Safety and Criminal Justice Community Academy class and will highlight the issues facing law enforcement officers and communities along the way. The Fife Police Department meets with homeowner associations and groups to talk about crime prevention and is looking at broadening those presentations by creating a citizen academy next year for members of the general public.

t ST3 From page A1
gressman Norm Dicks and Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland, while critics include anti-tax initiative gadfly Tim Eyman and Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer Mike Lonergan. November’s ST3 package would be largely paid for through higher sales taxes, added car tab fees and increased property taxes. The plan would add a 0.5 percent sales tax, impose a property tax of up to $0.25 per $1,000 of assessed valuation and increase motor vehicle tax by 0.8 percent. The average adult would pay about $17 a month or $200 a year in higher taxes if voters approve the plan. A regional project would further link the suburbs with Tacoma and the rest of Puget Sound through extensions of rail service from downtown Tacoma to Federal Way. This 9.7-mile route would include stops in Fife that would provide warehouse workers and employees on the Tacoma tideflats with mass transit options as well as provide tourists easier access from the airport, their local hotels and destination attractions including the Tacoma Dome, Emerald Queen Casino and Tacoma’s museums as
well as offer 116 miles of tracks throughout Pierce King and Snohomish counties. ST3 would extend Sounder south line platforms in Auburn, Puyallup, Sumner and all south line stations to serve trains up to 10 cars in length, carrying 40 percent more passengers. It would also add two new Sounder south line stops south of Lakewood at Tillicum to serve Joint Base Lewis-McChord and DuPont, both with parking, and improve bus speed and reliability where possible by running on shoulders of State Route 167, I-405, I-5 and SR 518. The Tacoma Link light rail extension to Tacoma Community College would open in 2039, when the region is expected to have added a million new residents. Estimates put the cost of the line at somewhere between $447 million and $478 million to construct a 3.65-mile route from 19th Street in downtown Tacoma to TCC. Projected ridership would be about 8,000 a day. The route would stop around Sprague Avenue, Union Avenue, Stevens Street, Pearl Street and Tacoma Community College, which serves as a hub for local bus routes. Trains would run about every six minutes. Find details about the projects, timeline and costs of Sound Transit 3 at soundtransit3.org.

MILGARD AND MASCO RAISE OVER $30K FOR MS SOCIETY With the support of Masco Corporation, employees at the corporate headquarters of Milgard Windows & Doors contributed over $30,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society during their participation in the Bike MS: Deception Pass Classic two-day event. This year’s Washington state event took place through the picturesque Skagit, Whatcom and Island Counties. The funds were raised to aid in research that’s dedicated to stopping disease progression, restoring lost function, and finding a cure for MS. Funds also support programs and services that help people affected by MS live their best lives. At last count, Milgard, with the supporting of Masco Corporation, raised over $30,965 through donation, fundraising and matching gift pledges which was added to the $1.8M total for all Bike MS events in the Northwest. “It feels great to be a big part of this amazing effort,” said Tim Large, ERP core team member at Milgard. “It’s hard work, but it’s all worth it. Milgard will be there next year to continue to fight for a world free of MS.” Patty Shepherd-Barnes, chapter president of the National Multiple Sclerosis,
Greater Northwest Chapter says, “We are so grateful for the ongoing support Milgard provides through the Bike MS: Deception Pass Classic. Since 2010, Milgard has raised over $92,000 to support Society services and research and their dedicated group of volunteers have anchored our most highly trafficked Bike MS rest stop, earning the Best Rest Stop award the past two years. This year, we were proud to recognize their efforts with the prestigious Pete Kenville Volunteer of the Year Award. Thank you, Milgard, for everything you do for our community members affected by multiple sclerosis.” A total of 16 riders participated in the event and another nine Milgard employees were on the volunteer team who manned the rest stop providing food and drinks to the cyclists. This was the fifth year Milgard has participated in the event.

UWT HOSTS FREE SCREENING OF ‘JUST EAT IT’ The City of Tacoma, as part of the Preventing Wasted Food campaign and in honor of National and World Food Days, will offer a free screening of the film “Just Eat It.” The family-friendly event is from 7-9 p.m. on Oct. 20 at the University of Washington Tacoma’s Carwein Auditorium (1754 Commerce St., Tacoma). “Just Eat It” explores our systemic obsession with expiry dates, perfect produce and portion sizes and reveals that wasted food is having devastating consequences around the globe. The film looks at food waste from farm, through retail, to the back of your fridge. After food lovers Jen and Grant catch a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food tossed into the garbage each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on discarded food. A brief discussion will follow the film, and light refreshments will be provided. For more information contact Project Specialist Emily Campbell at (253) 5915172 or email her at ecampbell@cityoftacoma.org. FLOOD INSURANCE RATES COULD CHANGE New flood maps issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) could change flood insurance rates for some properties when they go into effect March 7, 2017. Drafts of the new flood maps were released Sept. 7. Homeowners can view a document that describes how to download drafts of the maps from the Pierce County website at www.piercecountywa.org/getfloodmap. The maps provide homeowners with more information and greater accuracy about the flood risk to their homes. Homeowners affected by the new maps and insurance agents will receive notices from Pierce

County about the impending changes. Property owners near coastlines, rivers and creeks should review the maps to see if the base flood elevation on their property has changed. The new maps could change their flood insurance and either save them money or require a rate increase. Property owners are encouraged to contact their insurance agents to discuss these changes. “The new maps are more accurate than the existing maps and help residents make more informed decisions about their properties,” said Harold Smelt, Pierce County Public Works surface water manager. The biggest change to the maps is the additional mapping detail for coastal properties at risk for flooding. Additionally, many homes built on high ground will no longer be shown as at risk and will not be required to purchase high cost flood insurance. Special flood hazard areas – specific places in the county identified as high risk by the FEMA – have also been revised and might include properties previously outside of these areas on the current maps. For properties in these areas with federally-backed mortgages, insurance is required. Although not required, flood insurance is recommended for all other properties in these mapped hazard areas. Some areas near levees will not receive updated maps at this time. FEMA is developing new mapping standards to more accurately determine risk behind levees. These new maps will also be used by federal and state agencies, cities and the county to determine what development will be allowed on properties within flood hazard areas of the county. Insurance companies will use the new maps to determine flood insurance rates. The maps currently used by FEMA, state and county agencies were approved in the 1980s. Since then, technology and more comprehensive flood data have allowed FEMA to create more detailed and accurate maps. In April and May 2015, Pierce County and FEMA held four open houses in Pierce County to show drafts of the new maps. Residents had the option to appeal the maps if they could demonstrate that the data didn’t accurately represent their property. Any successful appeals were incorporated into the new maps.

overlooking the water. “It was accidental.” The better that young Valley got on the guitar, the more other groups noticed. One, popular Seattle band The Viceroys, enticed him to join them as rock and roll cruised into the '60s. Valley wrote an instrumental song – “Granny's Pad” – and The Viceroys turned it into a major regional hit. “It was 1963 and big acts would come through Seattle and often needed a backup band,” Valley said. “Stevie Wonder showed up with his drummer, but his manager thought he could find a better backup band than us. “I asked Stevie if he wanted to go to lunch, and we went, just the two of us. Turned out that just before the concert, we were that band. We backed up Stevie without even practicing with him. It was great!” A popular Portland band, Don and the Goodtimes, grabbed Valley in 1965 and he wrote a song - “Little Sally Tease” – that went up the local charts and made the band local celebrities. And that's when he saw Paul Revere and the Raiders for the first time. The band, in their triangular hats and Revolutionary War outfits,

put on quite a show onstage. Valley and his band shamelessly borrowed that notion. “We started wearing top hats and tails and doing crazy things onstage,” Valley said. “I met Paul and (lead singer) Mark Lindsay, and we became friends. “The first time Paul saw me in the top hat, my hair was long and curly. He took one look and said 'Hey, Harpo.' That was it, I had a nickname.” In the spring of '66, Valley joined the Raiders as lead guitarist. It was instant stardom through teen magazines and television. The Raiders were the house band for Dick Clark's daily music show, “Where the Action Is.” The Raiders had a string of hits – “Let Me,” “Good Thing,” “Him or Me,” “Hungry,” “Just Like Me” and “Kicks” – and Valley played them all in concerts and TV appearances. “We played the Smothers Brothers, Milton Berle, the Hollywood Palace,” Valley said, “and with 'Action' we were on every day. On weekends we'd do concerts. It was crazy.” Valley's love of music led him to hang out with songwriters like Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, the Mamas and Papas and a young Jackson Browne. “Rock and roll was changing, and the Raiders had the chance to change with it,” he said. “But they didn't.” Promised a song on their next album, Valley wrote several – but that spot never appeared. In 1967, Valley walked away from the group and the spotlight. Married and a father by then, he tried a solo career without success. He played with one folk group, then
another, but by 1971 he was back in the Northwest, working for the railroad. “I never gave up music,” Valley said. “I wrote a musical for the stage about the Children's Crusade, and directed it.” Then came the happiest accident of his life. Carl Dellaccio, an administrator with the Tacoma School District – and the husband of photographer Jini – asked Valley if he'd like to work with gifted students. “I'd known Jini for years, and she was like my second mother,” Valley said. “I started working with high school kids in the district, then younger kids, first and second graders. I found my passion.” Valley's Contemporary Music Workshops led to his being asked to write a song to unite kids. The result was “Rainbow Planet,” which turned into a complete children's CD and won a Parents' Choice award. What's happened since then is more than Valley hoped. Schools around the world began asking him to visit and play music with their children. “I went to Rio de Janeiro first, and the kids knew my songs when I got there,” Valley said. “That led to trips to Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Spain.” It also led to six more CDs, all available at RainbowPlanet.com. “The songs on the children's CDs are largely my music and their words,” Valley said. “Children say it simplest. The kids in Abu Dhabi said 'friendship was a lovely thing.’ I loved that.” Now 73, Valley has three children, seven grandchildren and long-time partner Wendy in his life. He's developed a love of flower gardening. On his Facebook page, friends will occasionally post clips of him playing with the Raiders – the Smothers Brothers appearance shows Valley using a signature dance move throughout. “I still love to play music, still love rock and roll,” Valley said. He'll be a special guest on Saturday, Oct. 15 when The Flock of Beagles, a local band made up of vintage rock musicians, play at the Gig Harbor Markee from 7-10 p.m.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community
PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER
Federal, regional, state and local leaders gathered with the Puyallup Tribal Council on April 7, 2015 to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Joining in on the event were (back row from left): Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon. Learn more about the cancer center on pg. 3.
The most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians continues to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care of not only its own membership, but sharing its wealth
among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,100 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities – approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native – employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits.
In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. From sponsoring local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise
suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as “the generous people,” the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.” In the following pages, you’ll read more about what a valuable community partner the Puyallup Tribe of Indians is to the region and the state.
SALISH CANCER CENTER A place where healing begins On April 7, 2015, the ribbon was officially cut at the grand opening of the Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Housed in the Puyallup Tribal Integrative Medicine building in Fife, SCC is a non-profit venture of the Puyallup Tribe and is the first tribally-owned cancer center in Indian Country and the United States. This state-of-the art facility combines conventional cancer treatment (chemotherapy) and integrative oncology (naturopathic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Native healers and acupuncture) to create a truly modern oncology practice. As the indigenous keepers of the Puyallup Tribe Indian Reservation, the Puyallup Tribe has a strong ancestral bond with nature and creation, and this is reflected in the type of care SCC patients receive – focusing on the mind, body, and spirit using lifestyle, nutrition and botanical medicine that blends quite well with modern oncology practices and produces a foundation for providing innovative cancer treatment. At the ribbon cutting, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee praised Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud and the entire Tribal Council for making their vision for SCC a reality. “This is such a delightful day, not just for the Puyallup Nation, but for the state of Washington, because this is a center that is going to embrace health for the entire state of Washington and the Puyallup Nation all at the same time,” he said. “To me, it is a real achieve-
ment to know that the first tribally-owned and operated oncology center in the United States is right here in the Puyallup Nation. This is something for the whole state of Washington to be very proud of.” The SCC care team is delighted to have medical oncologist Dr. Eiko Klimant on board as medical director, as he joined the team just this year. This spring, Dr. Krisstina Gowin, medical oncologist from Mayo Clinic in Arizona, will also be joining the SCC care team. “My goal is to create a meaningful experience for the patient and their caregivers, which includes creating conditions and finding therapies to help assure the best possible outcome for each individual patient,” Dr. Klimant said.
Puyallup Tribal Member David Duenas offered up a Sundance song of sacrifice and honor at the Salish Cancer Center ribbon cutting.
Dr. Klimant was most recently the Medical Director of Integrative Oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia. He is board certified in medical oncology and internal medicine, as well as hospice, palliative medicine and integrative medicine. He has extensive clinical experience in the management of pancreatic, breast, lung and brain cancers. Dr. Klimant is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Physicians and the Society for Integrative Oncology. He is fluent in English, German and French. At SCC, Dr. Klimant works within a multidisciplinary team to provide patient-centered cancer care. “The integrative care model puts the patient at the center. Patients’ needs are addressed on multiple levels, including innovative scientific cancer treatment, spiritual and psychological support, naturopathic medicine and an individualized nutritional program,” he said. While a cancer diagnosis can be the most frightening thing a person has to face and is often all consuming for patients and their care providers, SCC stands as a mighty protector and healer for those who have been told there is nothing more that can be done. “It’s a battle against this disease, only now our warriors are our doctors, nurses, lab technicians and people who are in the health profession world,” said Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud. “Our warriors are going to be armed with the best medicine that can be, whether it exists now or down the road. This is not about making money – this is a non-profit organization that’s dedicated to the saving of lives.” Learn more at www.SalishCancerCenter.com.

ome of the best bodies in the Pacific Northwest were on display at Tacoma’s historic Pantages Theater on Saturday, Oct. 8 as the NPC Northern Classic returned for another day-long contest that has quickly become one of the hottest events of the year in the City of Destiny, even though it’s still somewhat of a secret to those outside of the fitness community. After hosting the event at the Broadway Center’s Theater on the Square, interest and attendance has pushed the event to the much larger stage and room of the Pantages, and the result has turned this event into a “can’t miss” for body building and fitness buffs the last two years. According to event co-promotor Christopher Algeo, the turnout for the early-day preliminaries, followed by the evening’s main event finals has been a pleasant surprise, and the interest has proven their move to the big Pantages room to be the correct decision. Barring unforeseen issues, the event will be returning to the big stage next year as well. Algeo took over the event which was formerly known as the Northern Gold’s Classic over 12 years ago. The 1985 Stadium and 1989 Pacific Lutheran graduate was himself a competitive body builder, and after hanging up the tiny shorts, thought that he just might have what it takes to move the competition forward and do something special with it. Since grabbing the reins and bringing on business partner Michele Mayberry about six years ago, the Northern Classic has become a destination for u See fitness / page A15

When the WIAA re-classified schools and re-aligned leagues this past summer, the new league that really stood out to many was the resurrection of the Pierce County League. It is a very interesting mix of schools, some that have regularly competed against each other and some that have met rarely, if ever playing one another at all. Thursday, Oct. 6, the Bethel Braves hosted the Stadium Tigers at Art Crate Field in Spanaway in a PCL matchup of two teams who haven’t seen each other much in the past. This was a key game for Stadium, a team that seems very comfortable in the new 3A PCL. Coming into the game, the Tigers had won just 21 games in their previous 12 seasons. However, they are working hard this season to stay in contention for a playoff spot, and that is big time news to anyone around these parts that pays attention to high school football. With a victory over the Wilson Rams on Friday, Oct. 14, the Tigers could sew up a postseason berth with two games remaining on the calendar. Stadium came roaring out of the gate against Bethel, scoring three touchdowns in the first quarter, all on the legs of running back Jamon Chambers, who has been one of the elite backs in the state for a couple of years now. Chambers scored on runs of 11, 20, and 15 yards, and also completed a pass for 38 yards for good measure. After one quarter the Tigers were rolling strong. Although Chambers seemed able to do as he pleased against the Braves defense, Stadium went to the pass more in the second quarter.

A pair of shutouts to keep the 17th-ranked Pacific Lutheran University women's soccer team atop the Northwest Conference standings has earned Lute goalkeeper Takara Mitsui NWC Defender of the Week accolades on Monday, Oct. 10. Mitsui earns the accolade for the third time this season after keeping both the University of Puget Sound and George Fox University off the scoreboard last week. The senior nursing major tallied six saves in the Lutes' (9-0-3, 6-0-2 NWC) 0-0 double overtime draw against USP last Wednesday before stopping four shots in a 3-0 win over George Fox on Saturday. Saturday's shutout was Mitsui's 10th of the season while the Lynwood, Washington native has now gone 490 consecutive minutes without yielding a score. Mitsui is having a banner season with the Lutes in 2016, currently ranking seventh in the nation in goals against average (0.235), eighth in save percentage (0.932), and 39th in minutes played (1,152 minutes). The goalkeeper previously earned the award on Sept. 6 and Sept. 12 while Kelly White was the NWC Defender of the Week on Oct. 3 and Liz Griffith was the NWC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 6. PLU is back on the pitch on Saturday, Oct. 15, traveling to Spokane to face Whitworth University at 12 p.m.
Jackson Moore, who shot the ball into the back of the net to give his team the win in the 106th minute. “I ran as hard as I could late in the game, and Eddie did what he always does when he put the ball right in my path and allowed me to score,” Moore said. The weather may have had an impact on the game today, but the Lutes used it to their advantage when they could, and came out on top. “We played really well today,” Lutes head coach John Yorke said. “There were two different halves with the wind, but when it was at our backs, we were able to play great soccer.” The Lutes were missing Isak Visser after his red card last week. Additionally, Diego Aceves was unavailable for the second half. Still, the Lutes overcame adversity, and players stepped up with their additional responsibilities. “The team didn't miss a beat today,” Yorke said. “We missed those guys on the field, but Isak helped gather the team, and got them committed to play hard today.” The game-winning goal scorer, Moore, showed that he and his fellow freshmen have grown a lot since the season began. “We've come a long way, in terms of confidence especially,” Moore said. “At the beginning of the year, we were scared, but the older guys helped us gain our confidence, and it's been paying off.” The Lutes remain at home next weekend, hosting Willamette University and Linfield College, where a good weekend could put the Lutes back in the conversation for first place. – By Jake Bilyeu

Cole Chandler scored three touchdowns powering the Pacific Lutheran University football team to 30-10 victory over host Willamette University on Saturday, Oct. 8, keeping the Lutes undefeated in Northwest Conference play. Travis McMillion got the Lutes (3-1, 2-0 NWC) on the board just 56 seconds into the game, returning an interception 32 yards to the endzone for an early 7-0 edge. Dallan Rodriguez added a field goal midway through the first before Chandler got rolling in the second quarter. Chandler took off and scored on a 14-yard run early in the second before connecting with Kellen Westering on a one yard touchdown pass with 26 seconds left in the first half. Chandler was at it again late in the fourth quarter, punching it into the end zone from one yard out to cement the win. The two quarterback system continues to be effective for the Lutes. Jon Schaub was 13-24 for 86 passing yards. Chandler did his damage on the ground rushing 12 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns as the Lutes racked up 225 of their 338 total yards on the ground. Marc Gallant rushed for 80 yards on 14 attempts. Darin Hardgrove finished with 67 yards on 12 attempts. Willamette (2-3, 1-1 NWC), coming off a 63-point performance against the University of Puget Sound last Saturday, was limited to just 293 total yards of offense and 10 points. Travis McMillion spearheaded the defense with nine tackles and two interceptions while Derek Chase and Carson Ketter also managed three tackles on the day. The Lutes return home to Sparks Stadium Saturday, Oct. 15 for homecoming, hosting Whitworth University (4-1, 2-0 NWC) at 1 p.m. – By Christian Bond, PLU Sports.
PLU MEN CAPTURE NWC FALL CLASSIC GOLF TROPHY
An unbelievable opening round set the stage for another tournament victory for the Pacific Lutheran University men's golf team on Sunday, Oct. 9 as the Lutes captured the Northwest Conference Fall Classic at the Emerald Valley Golf Resort. The Lutes opened a 16-stroke lead on the nine-team field after day one, carding a 287 on Saturday before collecting a 302 on Sunday, finishing the two-day event with a 589, outdistancing runner-up Willamette University by 16 strokes as the Bearcats tallied a 605 (305-300). The win gives PLU a leg up on the rest of the NWC in the race for the conference championship with the results of the Fall Classic accounting for 25 percent of the criteria used to name the NWC Champion. The NWC Spring Classic accounts for 25 percent while the NWC Championships in April account for the remaining 50 percent in naming a league champion. “This weekend was a big step forward for our program,” said Head Coach Kris Swanson. “We have put great practice habits and pre-round processes in place to help us succeed and be prepared to play our best. The men have stuck to the process and their attitudes are great. They want to play well and this was a great tournament.” Kyle Drugge led the way for the Lutes, finishing second overall after getting edged in a one-hole playoff for medalist honors. Drugge was red-hot on Saturday, shooting a two-under 70 on Saturday before collecting a 76 on Sunday, tying Willamette's Trent Jones with a 146. Jones took first overall after carding a par on the first playoff hole, edging Drugge by a stroke. Mitchell Baldridge finished one stroke back in third place, shooting a 76 on Saturday before carving off five strokes on day two, finishing with a 147 for the tournament. Ryan Sturdivan tied for fourth, netting a 148 (70-78), while Alex Nelson (72-79) and Thomas Huddleston (75-77) placed seventh and ninth, respectively, to round out the Lute contingent at the Fall Classic. “I'm so happy for them. They stayed in complete control and really stuck to our plan," said Swanson. Sunday's win was the second of the season for the Lutes with PLU prevailing at the season-opening Lutes Invitational back on Sept. 19. Pacific Lutheran closes out the fall portion of the season at the Whitworth Invitational on Oct. 22-23 at Gamble Sands Golf Course in Brewster, WA.
PLU MEN EDGE RIVAL LOGGERS IN DOUBLE OT THRILLER
The Pacific Lutheran University men's soccer team pulled off another overtime thriller at home on the artificial turf at East Field, defeating crosstown rival University of Puget Sound 1-0 in double overtime on a windy and rainy Saturday, Oct. 8. Both teams traded near misses throughout regulation despite not getting off many shots. The game advanced to double overtime, where the Loggers (6-3-2, 3-2-2 Northwest Conference) suffered from a red card and were reduced to 10-men. Shortly after, the Lutes (6-5-2, 3-3-1 NWC) used the man advantage to score, as Eddie Na found
The University of Puget Sound will enshrine its next class of Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees this fall as part of the university's Homecoming Weekend, October 21-22. The five individuals, as selected by the Athletic Hall of Fame Committee, include three former student-athletes and two former head coaches. The 2016 Hall of Fame class includes Andrea Boitano (women's cross country/track & field), Kristina Goos (women's basketball), Randy Hanson (women's soccer head coach), Wanda Howlett (women's cross country/track & field), and Jack McGee (baseball head coach). Andrea Boitano (Cross Country / Track & Field, 1994-98) Boitano was a three-time women's Cross Country AllAmerican (1995, 1996, 1997), and she was twice named to the Cross Country All-Academic Team (1996, 1997). Boitano earned an All-Academic nod twice as a track & field student-athlete (1997, 1998), and she's a three-time All-American in the 10,000-m run. In 1997, Boitano placed 14th in the NAIA Cross Country National Championships. Kristina Goos (Women's Basketball, 1995-99) Goos holds several career and single-game records for the Puget Sound women's basketball program. Her 41 points against Central Washington during the 199596 season remains a Logger record. Goos' 1,623 career points ranks third all-time, and her 15.9 points per game ranks second. Her 85.5 free-throw percentage is still the best in Logger history (min. 200 attempts), and she ranks third with 178 made 3-pointers. Goos was the Northwest Conference Player of the Year for the 1996-97 season, and she was named to the NAIA All-American Third Team that same year. Randy Hanson (Women's Soccer Head Coach – 1995 - 2015) Hanson announced his retirement following the 2015 season, in which the Loggers went undefeated and captured their 14th-consecutive Northwest Conference title. He posted a 303-74-36 overall record (.777) at the helm of the Loggers. Hanson's Loggers posted a 16-10-6 record in the NCAA Tournament, and Puget Sound advanced to the national championship game in 2004. A 12-time NWC Coach of the Year and three-time West Region Coach of the Year, Hanson guided 16 All-Americans, 73 All-Region selections, 72 All-NWC First Team honorees, and 17 NWC Players of the Year. Wanda Howlett (Cross Country / Track & Field, 1989-1993) Howlett was the NAIA Women's Cross Country National Champion in 1989. She's a four-time cross country All-American, and she earned track & field All-American honors in the marathon, 10,000-m run, and 5,000-m run. Howlett still holds the Logger record in the marathon with a time of 2:45.28. She was a key runner during the women's cross country team's national title runs in 1992 and 1993. Jack McGee (Baseball Head Coach – 1965 – 1978) McGee turned the Puget Sound baseball program into one of the dominant programs across all divisions in the region. He was named the Topps Coach of the Year after the Loggers finished the 1969 season ranked No. 4 in NCAA D-II. His Logger teams didn't just keep pace with D-I opponents. In 1972, the Loggers went 4-0 against Washington while outscoring the Huskies, 23-2. Several of McGee's student-athletes were drafted by MLB teams. McGee posted a career record of 342-152 (.692) with Puget Sound.

THESE FOSS FALCONS FIGHT FOR EACH OTHER

There’s been a big change over at Henry Foss High School this school year. After competing with the likes of Lincoln, Mt. Tahoma and Wilson each and every season in athletics via the Narrows League, the recent reclassification by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) saw the enrollment numbers at Foss better suited for the 2A state level. It was goodbye to the Narrows and hello to the 2A South Puget Sound League. While it’s safe to say that new rivalries will rise and excitement will blossom from their new home, it wasn’t embraced by everyone when the news came out, and the change hasn’t been without its bumps. Tuesday night, Oct. 11, the Foss Falcons hosted a Fife Trojan volleyball team that is a perennial contender at the state level. While Foss has fielded competitive teams in the Narrows in the past, wins have always been hard to
come by. The drop from 3A to 2A hasn’t had much of an effect on the Falcons bottom line this season, as the 2A SPSL is arguably every bit as good as the old 3A Narrows League, when it comes to volleyball competition from the top to the bottom of the standings. The regular visits to the gymnasiums of their crosstown rivals have been missed this season, but the Falcons are doing their best to buckle down and keep giving it their all in every single match. “The transition has been hard because we know the other teams that we played in the Narrows league,” said Foss head coach Rochelle Rosario. “We’ve never played any of the teams that we play in this league. It’s been hard to get that spark going because we don’t know what we’re walking into. It’s been different gyms, different players and totally different scenarios.” Make no mistake though, the excitement and drive to win is all still there, especially with a coach as competitive as Rosario, who was a high
school volleyball star in her own day. “There’s definitely excitement,” said Rosario. “With their fight, they’ve come back and won. Today they had a very off day and they struggled. Every team that we have played has said the girls have heart and they’re a scrappy team. That makes me proud because we work hard for that.” “They’re fighters. They definitely have heart and I love them for that. They don’t give up, even in practice they fight for every single point.” Fife came into their match against the Falcons with a 9-1 record on the season. It was going to take a perfect game by the Falcons to put them in the running to pull off an upset, and it just wasn’t going to be in the cards for Foss. While the team showed some serious grit and determination, willpower wasn’t going to be enough against an experienced team like the Trojans. Fife won the match 3-0 with set wins of 25-8, 25-14 and 25-18. However, each set saw the Falcons grow in confidence and put more points
on the board. It was the sort of match that showed just how tight-knit these girls are. Despite a 3-7 record, there’s definitely no quit in this team, and that’s not always the case at high school gyms on a given night. “I tell them not to play safe and go for the win always,” said Rosario. “Just because you’re off doesn’t mean you should just pass it over every time, you need to fix your shot and keep at it. We go six days a week and even in the summer we go five days a week. They’re very hard workers. “We’re really a family and I think that’s one big thing that helps us fight for one another. We have team dinners before games. They’re sisters and I’m kind of like their mother. They’ve worked really hard fighting and building this family that we have and couldn’t be more proud of them.” Foss is still in the running for a berth in the 2A SPSL league tournament. Don’t be surprised if this scrappy team pulls it off and makes the cut.

many of the best amateur physiques ranging from Alaska, down to northern California, and all parts in-between. The Northern Classic is some serious business. Ranging between body building, classic physique, physique, fitness and bikini competitions, the number of competitors and age ranges can make one’s head spin. More importantly, it often inspires those in the audience to get involved. “We have folks that exercise and work out in the gym,” said Algeo, “and they’re in the audience and see a competitor similar to them up on stage… and they go ‘I can do that… I need a year, but I can do that…’ and they commit and say ‘I’m going to do the Northern Classic next October.’ We’ve had folks who have won overalls and have said the only reason they were there was because they were in that audience and believed that they could do it… and they went and did it.” It’s clearly a passion that drives Algeo to put the effort into the Northern Classic that he and his team of volunteers roll out every year. One thing Algeo is also passionate about is paying his respects to first responders and the men and women of the armed services. This year’s event was kicked off by a special presentation that brought up every single first responder to the stage and a medal was put around their necks as a show of love and thanks for all that they do. The response from the crowd not only moved
those being honored, but it cemented the ceremony as something that will be repeated at future Northern Classics. “To see these folks walking around with these medals, with smiles on their faces, was something else,” said Algeo. “It really meant something to them.” Ryan Vancleave captured both the Light Heavyweight title, as well as the Overall Men’s body building championship. John Clynch took home the Master’s Division trophy, as well as the Masters 50-plus crown. Jeff Spaulding won the Middleweight Division, while Ernie Erickson won the Masters 60-plus, with Jason Johnson winning the Masters 40-plus. Tony Manzo won the Men’s “B” Division Physique title, as well as the Overall Men’s Physique Crown. Enrique Rios took home the Masters championship, as well as the Masters 40-plus crown. Jason Marquez captured the first-year Classic Physique category win. Ben Tronson won the Men’s “C” Division Physique title, with Vladimir Borisov taking the “D” title. Edwin Moya won the Masters 35-plus. Jose Dias won the Novice Division. Brittany Conley captured the overall Figure Division, as well as the “C” Division title. The Masters overall winner was Sara Michelle Taschner, who also won the Masters 40-plus title. Lainey Kimball took home the Junior Fitness Division crown. Rachael Chiarelli won the overall Bikini title, as well as the “A” Division championship. Rebecca Bales took home the overall Masters division title, as well as the Masters 35-plus crown.

passes for his side, and at the half Stadium appeared to have a comfortable lead, 36-14. Bethel came out in the second half determined to show what they were made of. The Braves took the kickoff to start the half and scored quickly on a pass from Gese to Trenton Weseman, and played stout defense, holding Stadium to three plays and out on both of their possessions in the third quarter. The Braves went on a long drive that started with 6:02 to play in the third and ended up in the end-zone in the fourth quarter. Suddenly the Braves had cut the lead to 36-28. The Braves intercepted a Wendling pass on Stadium’s next possession and drove for a field goal to cut the Tigers lead to just five points, 36-31. That was all the closer that Bethel would get. Extraordinary players know when to take over a game, and Stadium’s Chambers did just that. He returned the ensuing kickoff for 62 yards, and Stadium scored on the next play. Chambers added two more scoring runs of three and 31 yards, and despite Bethel adding yet another touchdown pass from Gese, the Tigers pulled away for a 55-37 victory. Chambers was certainly the star of the game with five touchdowns and 258 allpurpose yards. Stadium improved to 4-2 overall, 3-1 in the PCL and will play Wilson at Stadium Bowl on Friday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. Bethel dropped to 2-4 overall, 1-3 in the PCL, and will travel to face Mt Tahoma the same night (2-4, 0-4 PCL) at 7 p.m. The Wilson Rams hosted the Bonney Lake Panthers on Friday, Oct. 7 at Stadium Bowl hoping to keep pace in the standings and inch up toward a playoff position. It wasn’t going to be the Rams’ night as Bonney Lake put together a balanced attack on both sides of the ball. With the rains falling to close the game, the Panthers (5-1, 4-0 PCL) rolled out of town with a 36-0 victory, and kept pace in the PCL league standings with the first-place Lincoln Abes. Wilson can remain in the postseason hunt with a victory over crosstown rival Stadium, but a loss will push them out of the running. Lincoln maintained their perch at the top of the PCL standings with a 56-8 victory over the visiting Mt. Tahoma T-Birds. Since opening the season with a loss to second-ranked O’Dea on the road, the Abes (5-1, 4-0 PCL) have been putting together an impressive run of victories. With a road game against Spanaway Lake (0-6, 0-4 PCL) on Friday, Oct. 14, the Abes are expected to take a spotless league mark into their Friday, Oct. 21 contest against Bonney Lake at Lincoln Bowl. The game could very well decide the PCL league champion. Mark your calendars for Friday, Oct. 28 when Lincoln travels crosstown to play Stadium at 7 p.m. There’s still a chance that the game could be for the league title, and playoff seed positioning will surely be on the line. Bellarmine will host top-ranked Sumner on Friday, Oct. 14 in a game that has huge ramifications for both teams, as the 4A South Puget Sound League has a fourteam logjam at the top of the standings. The Lions (5-1, 4-1 4A SPSL) have shown themselves more than able to run with the big dogs this season, but they haven’t met a team like the Spartans (6-0, 5-0 4A SPSL) yet. Never rule out an upset at Bellarmine’s Memorial Field though. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
A sellout, once rare, is now common sight. Fans line up at the gates to fill the ballpark each night. They come for a show and a show they do get. Always bigger and better. Who knows what to expect? They see hits and home runs, but that’s just a small part. Proudly displayed is Tacoma’s big heart. Yes, Cheney Stadium is something to see...
Welcome home to

stop clownin’ around... clowns! By Ernest A. Jasmin
T
ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
his week, as a public service announcement, we offer this tidbit of advice: Stop freaking out about the stupid clowns. Pranksters dressed in menacing clown outfits have been all the rage lately, with creepy sightings being reported from coast to coast. It’s a trend that can be traced back to the small California town of Wasco where, in 2014, a couple took a series of photos posing in ghoulish clown gear as a Halloween stunt. Their images went viral on social media, inspiring a slew of imitators and even a B-rated horror flick called “The Legend of Wasco.” The South Sound has been a hotbed of clownrelated shenanigans of late. In the last month, the Pierce County Sherriff’s department has taken dozens of calls from citizens alarmed by sightings of people dressed in scary clown garb; and while most of said clowns haven’t engaged in any criminal activity, a 17-year-old Rogers High School student was arrested on suspicion of felony harassment after texting clownthemed threats to other students, apparently a prank gone awry. Clown calls spiked last week, prompting the Pierce County Sherriff’s Department to draw the line. “If there’s a clown walking down the street, we’re not responding,” spokesman Ed Troyer said, “unless they’re stepping into traffic, trespassing, causing a problem intentionally or displaying what appears to be a weapon. But if it’s just a clown in the woods, it’s a clown in the woods. If anybody makes threats to schools or threats to people, we’ll do just like we would in any other case, and we’ll track ‘em down and put ‘em in jail.” So relax. Odds are that clown you spotted lurking around South Hill was just a bored kid, not a demonic entity here to terrorize the local populace, à la Pennywise from Stephen King’s 1986 novel “It.” Still, many don’t trust those bulbous-nosed freaks, whether they have homicidal intent or not. It’s a sentiment captured by local punk act Warning Danger. The band specializes in funny songs about threats that lurk around every corner, everything from the hazards of “crop dusting” to cougar attacks (not the animal kind). Their 2013 album “Keep Out” includes a track called “Clowns” that seems especially timely this week.
Front man Mark Ostler rattles off a rapid-fire list of scamps he’s not down with, backed by a campy country and western groove. “Circus clowns, rodeo clowns, hamburger clowns, birthday clowns, killer clowns in hospital gowns – clowns they freak me out!” He is only halfway joking. “Clowns do kind of freak me out,” he confessed earlier this week. “Somebody like Red Skelton is kind of cool, but clowns somehow have become synonymous with ICP (Insane Clown Posse) and violence and serial killers and stuff like that. So people who choose the path of the clown nowadays, it’s a little bit questionable.” Ostler is at least open-minded enough to accept some clown culture. Warning Danger’s song also mourns the closing of the Funhouse, a clown-themed punk club formerly located near Seattle Center where his band cut its teeth. For others, though, the mere sight of someone wearing a frizzy, red wig and giant shoes is enough to trigger a full-blown panic attack. An abnormal fear of clowns is called coulrophobia, though the American Psychiatric Association does not list it as a recognized disorder. Tiffany Artime, an assistant professor of psychology at Pacific Lutheran University, shed light on why some people might have a fear response. “Throughout our lives, our behavior is influenced by associations we make between two things, like a clown or a clown mask and danger,” Artime said. “When we’re very young, we have a natural tendency to be afraid of strangers and novel, new things because that helps to keep us safe. Let’s say we encounter a clown that gets right up in our face, and is very colorful and big. That might then create this learning experience that clowns are dangerous.” Artime also speculated about the appeal of dressing up. “I think we can make many possible guesses to what that might be about,” she said. “Part of it is probably the ability to impact people in anonymous ways. You get a rise out of people, but nobody knows who you are. That probably feels powerful, and you have control. Part of it is also social norming or social modeling (so) we get lots of copycats doing it.” Whatever the reasons, many are ready for creepy clowns to be gone. “We hope these guys that are doing this can go back to their mom’s basement, change their clothes and go back out and look for Pokémen,” Troyer joked. “If they dressed up as Pikachus, people would probably go take pictures and hug ‘em. If they want attention, that might be a better costume.”
FICTIONAL CHARACTERS AND REAL-LIFE MANIACS THAT MAY HAVE RUINED CLOWNS FOREVER THE JOKER: The Clown Prince of Crime has been slaying Gothamites since he first appeared in “Batman” No. 1, way back in 1940. But seldom has he been creepier and more fun - than when the late Heath Ledger portrayed him in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” in 2009. JOHN WAYNE GACY: One of America’s most notorious serial killers was convicted on 33 counts of murder in 1978, for which he was ultimately put to death. Before he was caught, though, his neighbors knew him as a gregarious guy who dressed as a clown to entertain kids at parades and festivals. PENNYWISE: Author Stephen King recently took to Twitter to tell clown pranksters to knock it off. But who’s he kidding? Nothing - other than Gacy - has done more to turn people off of clowns than this creepster from his 1986 horror novel “It.” “We all float down here.” TWISTY THE CLOWN: FX’s “American Horror Story” has brought us a rogue’s gallery of vampires, witches and homicidal slashers in its first six seasons. But no character has been quite as nightmareinducing as the mutilated clown that John Carroll Lynch plays during the “Freak Show” season. JUGGALOS: Insane Clown Posse fans are easily identified by their blackand-white face paint, addiction to Faygo and inability to comprehend magnets. When encountering one, you should make yourself look as big as possible and back away slowly. But don’t run. You’ll only trigger a predatory response.

MOG’S ‘INTO THE DEEP’ TAKES VISITORS ON A SUBMARINE FANTASY RIDE

Lakewood Playhouse, the cultural heart of our diverse community, creates engaging and entertaining theatre celebrating the human experience through the stories that we tell. Lakewood Playhouse was founded in 1938. They currently have a 180-seat theatre at the Lakewood Towne Center. Lakewood Playhouse is about to present its 78th season of plays, which includes: The Lakewood Institute of Theatre’s “Wizard of Oz,� “It’s a Wonderful Life,� “The Rocky Horror Show,� Tom Stoppard’s “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead� with “The 15-MIinute Hamlet� and “Pirates of Penzance.�

The Museum of Glass recently opened a yearlong exhibition called “Into the Deep,� which plays off the similarities between glass and water in order to examine work by a number of artists that deal with various aspects of the marine environment in their work. The combination of the glass medium and the marine environment is a perfect fit for Tacoma, our own glassmaking city by the sea. Both glass and water are transparent: penetrable by light that gives them a constantly changing nature. Glass is shaped and manipulated while in a liquid, molten state. Glass is liquid solidified. This paradoxical nature, combined with its transparency, is part of what makes glass so fascinating to us. “Into the Deep� entails some 55 works of art, many of which were made in MOG’s hot shop. Some of the works are on the abstract end of the artistic spectrum, seeking to capture certain qualities of water, waves and currents. Taliaferro Jones’ “Undulations� is a meditation on the physical appearance of the sea. Three slabs of thick, kiln-cast crystal – each a slightly different shade of blue – are set side by side so that they overlap each other like the waves of the sea. They capture the transparency of water and the rhythm of waves. Other artists make stylized vessels and forms that mimic some of the bizarre types of flora and fauna found in the marine environment. There are super-sized examples of plankton and enlargements of mollusks and barnacles. One finds coral
polyps, sea urchins, sea pens and seaweed. Kait Rhoads’ “Red Polyp� is made of hundreds of round slices of hollow, murrine glass tubes (each piece resembles a Life Savers candy) that are fused together to form a giant-sized replica of the tiny polyps that are the basis of coral reefs. What marine-themed glass exhibit would be complete without a selection of Dale Chihuly’s nested seashell and urchin shell forms? “Into the Deep� has a nice selection of this 1980s vein of Chihuly’s oeuvre. Finally, there are a number of artists that have created more or less representational forms of some of the more familiar and cuddly sorts of critters that live in the sea. There are seals, fish and the octopus. The latter is particularly well represented in the show. You won’t see this many tentacles outside of a “Pirates of the Caribbean� flick. There is not much reference to ships, submarines or other seagoing vessels. The exhibit mostly wants to focus on a version of the virgin sea untouched by humankind. There are some sculptures, like Benjamin Kikkert’s steam punk buoys (encrusted with glass barnacles) that hint at a human presence. Alfredo Barbini’s thick glass slabs embedded with exotic glass fishes suggest household fish tanks instead of the open sea. Mostly, however, moving through “Into the Deep� is a plunge beneath the waves into a world of tendrils, tentacles and fins. It is a lighthearted excursion into the crystalline world of the sea. “Into the Deep� runs through September 2017. For further information visit museumofglass.org.
9th Annual Live Radio Show: “The Day the Earth Stood Still� Oct. 14 and 15 at 8 p.m., Oct. 16 at 2 p.m. Lakewood Playhouse celebrates their 9th Annual Live Radio Show with something truly special: the edge-of-your-seat sci-fi classic, “The Day the Earth Stood Still.� It’s a re-creation of a 1940s radio broadcast including live special effects. The show will open with another twisted episode from the iconic radio show “Lights Out,� plus a segment from the classic “X Minus One� and many more surprises. This show has been selling out for the past four years. Admission includes free hors d’oeuvres and one free glass of wine or sparkling cider, with $5 glasses of wine available, too.

EUGENIE JONES TO BRING HER JAZZY STYLINGS TO URBAN GRACE "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
Bremerton’s Eugenie Jones is a rising star on the regional jazz scene with two critically acclaimed albums under her belt – “Black Lace, Blue Tears� and last year’s “Come Out Swinging� – and the distinction of being voted vocalist and recording artist of the year by readers of Seattle’s Earshot Jazz magazine for 2015. “Eugenie is a true force of nature,� said Tacoma trumpet player Lance Buller, who booked Jones to headline his new jazz series at Urban Grace Church on Saturday, Oct. 15. “The songs that she writes and performances that she gives leave no doubt in the listeners mind as to the level of passion she feels for her music. Jazz @ UGC wants to bring the very best jazz to Tacoma, and Eugenie Jones fills the bill.� In 2010, though, Jones had no aspirations of being a professional singer. She was working full time as the marketing manager for a local non-profit and was recently divorced with two children to look after. “My life was already full,� she recalled. But the recent loss of her mother to cancer sent her on a vision quest of sorts. Jones’ mom had been lead soloist in the choir of the West Virginia church where Jones grew up, and her memory inspired her to hop on the ferry and try her hand at open mic jam events that were held regularly at Tula’s Restaurant and Jazz Club and Egan Ballard Jam House in Seattle. “I didn’t know why I was doing this or what I was doing,� she recalled. “But at one point during a performance, it just kind of hit me – just this emotional connection (to) the loss of my mom. That’s why I’m here pushing myself through this. That was an interesting revelation for me, kind of mid-stream.� Through those initial performances, Jones met several key players in the Seattle jazz scene, the likes of pianist Bill Anschell and

trombonist Clipper Anderson, who played on her debut album. She scored her first paying gig in 2011, and before long she began writing her own material. “I didn’t imagine, quite honestly, I’d be doing what I’m doing now,� she said. “I just thought that if I get hit by a Mack truck tomorrow I want my kids to know what mommy was doing. So that became the impetus for me to record; and once I set my mind on recording, every step along the way I wanted it to be the very best it could possibly be. So I pushed for that in every regard.� When writing lyrics, Jones draws inspiration from a variety of sources. Her muse for the song “Sweet Summer Love,� for example, was the image of Joan Woodward lounging on the porch in the classic, 1958 film, “The Long, Hot Summer.� Other songs, including set staple “A Good Day,� are more inspirational. “It’s a song about just opening your eyes and seeing the blessings you have around you,� Jones said, recalling the track’s impetus. “I was driving along the highway and caught a glimpse of snow-capped mountains, and the water was off to the left side. It was just so incredibly beautiful, and I thought, ‘This is a great day. Life just couldn’t

be much more better than this.’ And that became the hook for the song.� Fans may get a chance to preview a new song called “There Will Be Thorns� this weekend. “When you’re going after what you really want, you’re gonna have difficulty in achieving it,� Jones said. “You’re gonna get beat up occasionally. But you’ve gotta keep pushing through to get through to the other side of that. That’s kind of the focal point of the next CD, and I’ve written probably five songs at this point. I’m hoping to do a release it in 2017, so we’ll see how that goes.� Saturday’s show will kick off at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20, and they are available in advance online at www. brownpapertickets.com.
