FIGHT OVER LNG PLANT

TURNS TO CITY COUNCIL, STATE

TOP PHOTO BY CEDRIC LEGGIN / RIGHT PHOTO COURTESY OF BRADLEY THOMPSON

PROTEST. Critics of the planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on the tideflats filled the Tacoma City Council meeting last week as well as the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission hearings this week to voice concerns about Puget Sound Energy’s proposal. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

ore than three dozen critics of Puget Sound Energy’s plans to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on the tideflats flooded Tacoma City Council’s community forum last week and the same held true at hearings regarding the financial scheme to operate the facility as part regulated utility and open market facility for container ships.

Puget Sound Energy is in the final permitting stages of a proposed 8 million gallon facility that would convert natural gas to LNG on the tideflats. The proposal started after the private utility company landed a contract with Totem Ocean Trailer Express (TOTE) to provide ships with cleaner-burning LNG rather than diesel. TOTE has since put those plans on hold, leaving the plant without commercial customers. “At this juncture, we do not have an exact date for when we will convert the Orcas (the class of ships TOTE

would retrofit to use LNG) to run on LNG but will keep you updated as our program planning progresses,” TOTE announced in a release this summer. The utility would, however, store LNG on the site for “peak shaving” use during extreme weather conditions, which occur a handful of times a year. Critics have said that the plant would create undue safety conditions so close to populous areas, including

GOODWILL OFFERS TANTALIZING TIPS FOR HALLOWEEN Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

With Halloween approaching, do ityourself costumes are more popular than ever. In fact, Goodwill’s 2016 National Halloween poll of more than 2,400 residents from Washington, California and Minnesota found that 57 percent of respondents are dressing up in a costume they made themselves.

There are several benefits to the Do-it-yourself approach – mainly that you’re unlikely to embarrassingly run into someone with the same costume at a party. Also you get to show off your creative skills and, if done right, DIY can be far cheaper than buying a pre-packaged costume. If you need some ideas, humorous, minimalist or classic costumes are predicted to be big this year, something to See GOODWILL / page A10

NORTH FIFTH AND I

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.

TV TACOMA MAKES CONVERSTION TO HD As part of the City of Tacoma’s Council Chambers Improvement Project, TV Tacoma has completed a conversion to high-definition (HD) that went live on Saturday, Oct. 15 on HD channels 512 for Click! and 321 for Comcast cable systems. “The upgrade to Digital High Definition provides a noticeable increase in clarity for both video and audio, providing sharp, colorful images in a wider format that gives the viewer a more cinematic experience,” said Jeff Lueders, cable communications and franchise services manager. As one of only a handful of government channels that are now HD in Washington State, the City is excited about this conversion and the technical improvements it provides both now and for future productions.” The audio visual and HD upgrades that took place in the City Council Chambers were part of a capital improvement project designed to upgrade the City’s broadcast programming on TV Tacoma and its live web streaming. The HD conversion was funded by Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) funds that are federally restricted for this type of capital project.

TAHOMA AUDUBON ANNOUNCES NEW DIRECTOR Tahoma Audubon Society’s search for a new executive director began in early March 2016 when the previous executive director announced her decision to leave the position. The search committee was pleased with the response to the job positing, and by the end of July had invited Dr. Emily Kalnicky to visit the area and meet with board members and staff. A native of Madison, WI, Kalnicky’s most recent role was Director of Science Education and Research at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh. In that position she supervised and trained a team of seasonal, full-time and part-time individuals, successfully increasing program offerings and revenue. Last year she received the 2015 Pittsburgh Business Times “Fast Tracker” award for her accomplishments in that job. Kalnicky brings with her a wealth and breadth of experience in education, research, and administration spanning over 15 years focused on connecting people and nature. She received her B.S. in Zoology, Psychology, and Spanish at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where she did her independent project on stickleback fish. She earned her M.S. in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences from the University of Illinois-Urbana, where her thesis was on zoo-based environmental education. She got her Ph.D. in Ecology at Utah State, where her dissertation involved human interaction with an invasive frog in Hawaii. Her projects on fish, zoos, and frogs are all centered on human interrelationships in connecting people with nature. In addition to her varied educational and research background, Kalnicky also brings to Tacoma her extensive experience teaching or volunteering in education programs for all ages across the U.S. and abroad. She has coached individuals on study skills, science communication, assisted English language learners, taught undergraduate and graduate courses in Biology and Conservation Science, served as a bilingual K-12 teacher, and taught science programming to underserved youth. She also volunteered extensively with a community in Ecuador, teaching English. Kalnicky is the recipient of several research grants, awards, and scholarships to support her work and has been published in several peer-reviewed scientific journals. An experienced public speaker, she has presented her research and programs to a variety of scientific and non-scientific audiences.

TACOMA PD TO RELEASE OFFICER-SHOOTING, COMPLAINT INFORMATION AT PUBLIC EVENT The Tacoma Police Department has released its first sets of data in support of the White House Police Data Initiative. These data sets – on officer-involvedi shootings since 2012 and complaint allegations with findings since 2015 – will be presented during a public event on Oct. 27, from 6-8 p.m., at the Asia Pacific Cultural Center (4851 S. Tacoma Way in Tacoma). The event follows a successful series of Project PEACE conversations designed to build trust, relationships and understanding between community members and Tacoma Police Department officers. "The City of Tacoma has been taking proactive steps to increase levels of transparency and accountability across the board," said Tacoma Police Chief Don Ramsdell. "As part of the White House Police Data Initiative, the Tacoma Police Department has committed to providing police data on a quarterly basis using TacomaData, our open data portal." Other information to be made available in the future includes use-of-force incidents and community engagement. While providing an avenue for community member feedback, the upcoming public event will also help educate the community about the department's complaints process. TACOMA GANG MEMBERS SENTENCED FOR 2015 DRIVE-BY SHOOTING Alexander Kitt, 24, Jermohnn Gore, 17, and Clifford Krentkowski, 18, were sentenced on Oct. 12 for the murder of Brandon Morris, 19. Gore, the one who fired the fatal shot, was sentenced to 82 years in prison. Kitt received 84 years, and Krentkowski was sentenced to 25 years in prison. “This was a challenging trial and another success for our gang unit,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “Deputy Prosecutors Jesse Williams and Gregory Greer did good work on this case. They achieved justice for the victim and made our community safer.” The trial was plagued by threats and pictures and video of witnesses turning up on Facebook. The judge in the case eventually ordered extra security outside the courtroom and some cell phones were confiscated. On the afternoon of May 1, 2015, the defendants were riding in a car in the area of South 45th Street and South Puget Sound Avenue. They spotted suspected rivals standing next to a convenience store. The defendants began shooting from the car as the driver turned down an alley. Morris was shot once in the head while standing with four friends outside of an apartment building adjacent to the alley. Morris and his friends were not in a gang, and detectives believe they were not the intended targets. Prosecutors say Gore fired the fatal shot but that Kitt also fired shots. Krentkowski was holding an assault rifle but did not fire. Along with the first degree murder the trio was also convicted of four counts of first degree assault and Kitt and Gore were convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm. Gore was also convicted of intimidating a witness. OFFICERS TO RAISE MONEY FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS The Fircrest Police Department is coordinating the Washington Special Olympics Red Robin “Tip-A-Cop” event that will be taking place Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Red Robin located at the Tacoma Mall. Law enforcement officers from Fircrest, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, Tacoma Police Department, DuPont Police Department, Fife Police Department, Steilacoom Police Department, and the Ruston Police Department will be volunteering their time to raise awareness and money for Special Olympics of Washington. Several Special Olympic athletes from Fircrest and University Place will attend. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 4-8 p.m. COUNTY ROAD CREWS PERPARE FOR WINTER WEATHER Pierce County road crews set up and recalibrated snow-fighting equipment and traveled their snowplow routes on Oct. 20. Earlier in the week, they reviewed snow and ice response plans, and practiced chainsaw techniques so they are ready to handle downed trees or branches in the roadway. “While it is unclear how severe winter weather will be in Pierce County this year, we will be ready to respond to snow and ice on county roads,” said Bruce Wagner, Pierce County Public Works road operations manager. “Residents can prepare by making sure their car is in good working condition and putting together an emergency kit for their car that includes blankets, a flashlight, warm clothes and non-perishable foods.” Residents can find suggestions for creating a three-toseven day emergency kit for vehicles and winter driving tips at www.piercecountywa.org/winterwise. When a severe winter storm is forecast, Pierce County’s plan calls for crews to apply anti-icing products to key arterials. If heavy snowfall affects roads countywide, plow trucks with de-icing materials are deployed 24-hours a day when all resources are available until conditions improve.

LACEY’S LAST CANNABIS RETAIL STORE TO OPEN Almost four years to the day after Washington voters passed I-502 in 2012 and 18 months after Gov. Jay Inslee signed SB 5052, an attempt to integrate Washington’s medical and recreational cannabis systems, into law, Lacey’s final marijuana retail store is set to have its grand opening on Oct. 22. The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board allotted four total retail licenses for the City of Lacey to serve the needs of medical cannabis patients and recreational consumers. The Marijuana Depot is the fourth and final location to receive a retail cannabis license in Lacey. One consistent complaint from patients and consumers is that they have almost no way to evaluate the cannabis they are purchasing ahead of unsealing a package, which by law must be done away from a store. Because of WSLCB’s strict packaging and handling regulations, end users are denied the opportunity to smell their purchases, one of the most reliable ways for experienced users to evaluate product quality. Patients and recreational consumers alike complain that they often get home and open a cannabis package only to discover product that has limited fragrance. State law does not allow them to return the product. The Marijuana Depot has heard their complaints and is here to help. Beginning at its grand opening on Oct. 22, The Marijuana Depot will feature a custom-built “smell bar” where customers can choose a range of cannabis strains to evaluate by using their sense of smell. This unusual step in the cannabis industry is within WSLCB regulations and is a service other retailers do not offer. The Marijuana Depot is located at 1123 Sleater-Kinney Rd. SE, Lacey in the site of the former Puget Sound Health Alternatives medical cannabis collective garden. Hours are 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Sunday. CHILDREN’S MUSEUM HOSTS POWER OF PLAY LUNCH On Oct. 26 at noon, the Children’s Museum of Tacoma will host the Power of Play Lunch at the Hotel Murano. This annual event asks our community to honor children and champion play as they support access for families to high-quality early learning opportunities. The Power of Play Lunch increases awareness of early learning topics for the 250 guests who attended, as it simultaneously raises critical operating dollars for the museum and its outreach programs like Play to Learn. The lunch will include a state of the museum address from Executive Director Tanya Andrews, as well as comments by Janine Terrano, honorary chair of the Power of Play Lunch and president of Topia Technology. Included in the program will be a keynote address by Dr. Sarah Lytle of UW I-LABS, the presentation of the Great Friend to Children Award to First Five FUNdamentals, and an announcement of a collaborative project between Children’s Museum of Tacoma and Joint Base Lewis McChord on play-based opportunities on Base. Dr. Sarah Lytle will be the keynote speaker at the Lunch. Lytle is the Director of the Outreach and Education division at the Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) at the University of Washington. The I-LABS Outreach and Education team communicates the latest science of child development to those who can act on it, including parents, educators, policymakers and opinion leaders. Lytle has personally had the opportunity to communicate science to thousands in the early learning community. Under her leadership, the Outreach and Education team has launched an online library of free training modules designed to make science accessible to a broad audience. Lytle was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at I-LABS working under the supervision of Dr. Patricia Kuhl. Before coming to the Institute, she earned a B.A. in Psychology and Spanish from the University of Notre Dame and a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at Temple University. Her research focused on the role of social cues in infants’ and toddlers’ language learning and how social interactions might help toddlers learn from screen media. Lytle was also a 2014-2016 Zero To Three Fellow. The Children’s Museum will also present the Deean SEE MORE BULLETIN BOARD ITEMS ON PAGE A4

TWEAKER ALERT ISSUED FOR TACOMA FUGITIVE By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

Beware of tweakers in Tacoma prowling around houses. That’s how Dennis Herron and another man got busted last August when an alert neighbor called police about suspicious DAVID ROSE characters behind a home at 11710 Vickery Ave. E. “These are people that go out, they have drug habits and they supply their drug habits by stealing from others,” said Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer. Court documents show police found a bag of meth on Herron who now has a warrant for his arrest after not showing up to court. The 25-year-old has been charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and criminal trespass. "It's obvious that he supplies his drug

COUNTY EXEC TAPS ABSHER-LED TEAM FOR CHAMBERS BAY DEVELOPMENT

After a comprehensive review that included significant community input, Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy has selected Chambers Bay Development, LLC as the group to design, build and operate the Chambers Bay Resort in University Place. As a result, county officials will begin the process to negotiate a development agreement. “We’re pleased to have had two outstanding proposals to consider and are delighted to move forward with Chambers Bay Development,” said McCarthy. “While both proposals had very strong elements, the internal review committee found in Chambers Bay a cohesive partnership with a track record of success.” Chambers Bay Development, LLC, includes a number of Pacific Northwestbased partners: Absher Construction, Tom Douglas, Columbia Hospitality and GGLO. The team also includes KemperSports, the current Chambers Bay golf course management company. McCarthy noted that while Chamber Bay Development was ranked first in the selection process, should the parties fail to reach an agreement the county would be interested in working with Valiant Washington. The $45 million proposal from Chambers Bay Development includes a boutique hotel, golf clubhouse, meeting and event space, a spa, a 200-seat Tom Douglas

restaurant and bar, a public plaza and enhanced trails. The suggested Phase 2 and Phase 3 elements will not be included in the development agreement. “As local developers, we are committed to creating a clubhouse and resort that fulfills the county’s needs, expands public use of the park and is financially successful,” said Dan Absher, managing member, Chambers Bay Development. “We look forward to working with the county’s team

to execute their vision for the resort through collaboration, passion for the site and project, and commitment to the community.” Chambers Bay Development’s proposal adheres to the county’s vision for the resort, which includes: • Compares with facilities found championship-caliber golf courses; • Compliments the golfing experience at Chambers Bay; • Takes advantage of the unique natural

national golf championship. No Pierce County funds will be used to design, build or operate the resort. The County will realize income from leasing the property to the developers and both the County and the City of University Place will receive tax-related revenues. The selection of Chambers Bay Development, LLC, follows a public outreach effort that included an Open House at the Environmental Services Building that attracted more than 250 attendees and a Town Hall at Bates Auditorium. In addition, the county used social media channels to solicit feedback on the two proposals via online comments at the site created to keep the community well-informed. “The input and feedback we received was helpful in ensuring the community’s priorities and preferences were kept in the forefront of the decision-making process,” said Tony Tipton, director, Pierce County Parks and Recreation. “We are excited to move forward in this next step in reclaiming a former gravel pit.” The negotiated development agreement will be subject to approval by the County Council due to the anticipated length of the property lease.

PAY IT FORWARD – IT’S FOR THE BIRDS

By Javier Figueroa

Mother Nature provides the human race with a vital ecological gift – birds! The majority of the human race does not realize the tangible value of birds, yet it would be reckless to underestimate how tough life would be without them. We have a moral responsibility, therefore, to look after them. Although birds are a critical part of our animal kingdom, they also provide a symphony for the senses that ranges from a rainbow of colors to a chorus of sounds, all of which grace us with a sense of serenity. The Tahoma Audubon Society provides a means for those who want to “Pay it Forward” to our friends, the birds. We advocate and lobby for the protection of birds; we educate, so that others can understand the tangible benefit of birds; and we provide “experiences” so that all members of our communities can share in the gentle joy that birds provide to the human race. When we think of giving, the words altruism or philanthropy often come to mind. Both refer to an ethical doctrine that claims that individuals are morally obliged to benefit others – to provide goodwill to humanity. I believe people are dedicated

altruists at heart. They are willing to give because they know it will help others or the environment, even at times when the act of giving can be difficult. And although we normally think of generosity as pure and noble, in the end, our generous thoughts and actions often make us feel good, too. I encourage you to be part of the Audubon family. We would appreciate your financial support towards the Audubon mission and its efforts to preserve and share the joy of birds with our entire community. Javier Figueroa is Mayor of the City of University Place and a member of the Tahoma Audubon Society Board of Directors. A Vietnam Veteran, Javier served 12 years in the U.S. Army. He has also served as a U.S. Delegate to the 1993 Climate Change Conference, including work with The White House on Environmental Policy. He was technical lead and co-author of the “Washington State Home Energy Rating System Business Plan.”

Our View

WHO DECIDES THE FUTURE OF TACOMA?

Earlier this year, Northwest Innovation Works cancelled its plans to build what would have been the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest natural gas to methanol plant on the tideflats. The Chinese-backed venture would have shipped the methanol to China to use in the production of plastic products. The plan died under its own weight when hundreds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if not thousands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of people raised concerns about the safety of the planned plant during the early stages of its environmental review. That outcry prompted city and Port of Tacoma leaders to promise talks about future tenants of industrial lands on the tideflats. They then formed a committee of port commissioners and council members to widen their official lines of communication of such matters. The port also vowed to expand its public notification process about potentially controversial developments. But what about the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts on the matter? Sure, the City of Tacoma is pondering an extensive subarea plan process that would put zoning, traffic and safety issues on the tideflats under a microscope. The port is also kicking off a process to change its strategic plan and goals under its new management structure born by the creation of the Northwest Seaport Alliance that folds many of the business operations in Tacoma and Seattle into the jointly managed agency. Both are worthwhile efforts. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem: It would seem prudent to simply have a town hall style meeting sooner rather than later about the complex issues surrounding the future of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront so that everyone understands the potentially competing visions of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural environment that also happens to be an economic engine for the region. A plan for a methanol plant died because critics rallied opposition from groups and neighboring cities, and they are doing similar work to fight plans for Puget Sound Energy to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant. There will be other proposals for the tideflats that will face similar opposition, time and again, if decisions about the waterfrontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future are made without robust debate before leases are signed and cranes fire up for construction. Critics of these mega projects arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t against growth or job creation. They are against marginal growth at the risk of disasters and environmental degradation. But more importantly, they want to be heard and considered. They deserve that. We deserve that.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Oct. 22 is International Stuttering Awareness Day. Did you know that 70 million people worldwide stutter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than the population of France? For nearly 70 years, the Stuttering Foundation has offered free information about stuttering and its treatment.

VOTE YES ON AMENDMENTS NO. 41 AND NO. 42

YOUR YES VOTE WILL ALIGN THE SIGNATURE VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS OF OUR CHARTER TO MATCH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE WASHINGTON STATE CONSTITUTION. By Neighbors for Fair Voting Tim Ferrell, Jerry Gibbs and Grant Pelesky The Pierce County Charter, our county's constitution, was established by Pierce County voters in 1980 following the previous racketeering scandal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a change in government supported by 62 percent of the voters. The preamble of our charter states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We claim the right of initiative and referendum, encourage citizen participation, in accordance with the Washington State Constitution.â&#x20AC;? Note the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śin accordance with the Washington State Constitution.â&#x20AC;? We have recently seen how exercising direct democracy rights have led to a variety of community petitions giving voters more voice in local government decisions. Your 21 elected Charter Review Commissioners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a former county executive, former county auditor, former County Council members, former state legislators, Lakewood

mayor, school board members, previous Charter Commission members and other community leaders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; saw that the rights to initiative and referendum needed to be reviewed after seeing the struggles citizens experienced while trying to exercise their rights. Following six months of discussion and due diligence, including hours of testimony by the public and elected officials, 20 of the 21 of your bipartisan elected Charter Review Commissioners approved placing Charter Amendments No. 41 and and No. 42 on your general election ballot. During the months of meetings, Commissioners heard how difficult and expensive the process has become; how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find locations to gather signatures and now how lawsuits against initiatives and referendums further complicate and deter citizen direct democracy efforts by asking courts to stop signature gathering, which many saw as a form of voter suppression. As a matter of fairness to the citi-

zens of Pierce County, Charter Amendments No. 41 and No. 42 will align the signature validation requirements of our Charter to match the requirements of the Washington State Constitution. Commissioners heard how the adoption of these two amendments will not make the process any easier for a group that wants to file an initiative or referendum and that the growth in Pierce County population keeps the validation rate high enough to deter any frivolous filings of either initiatives or referendums. At the end of the Charter Review process, 20 of the 21 elected commissioners wanted to send a message that a diverse and bipartisan committee, from all seven districts of Pierce County, overwhelming supported the concept of political fairness and voted in support of these two amendments going to the ballot. We hope voters of Pierce County will join the Commissioners in their support of Charter Amendments No. 41 and No. 42 with your â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? vote.

A MILESTONE FOR AMERICAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CULTURE By James A. Haught Slowly, relentlessly, Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture is undergoing profound change. But the transformation mostly is under the radar, hardly noticed. A new study by the Public Religion Research Institute and Religion News Service finds that the largest faith category in the United States now is people who say their religion is â&#x20AC;&#x153;none.â&#x20AC;? Apparently, this marks the first time in U.S. history for the churchless to reach top status. Specifically, the PRRI-RNS report says the three chief groups among all ages in 2016 are: nones, 25 percent; Catholics, 21 percent; and white evangelicals, 16 percent. Among young adults under 30, the gap is enormous: Nones, nearly 40 percent; Catholics, 15 percent; white evangelicals, 9 percent; white mainline Protestants, 8 percent; black Protestants, 7 percent; other nonwhite Protestants, 11 percent; and non-Christian faiths, 7 percent. Many of the unaffiliated young adults say they simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe church dogmas. As these younger Americans advance to middle age, the churchless segment is expected to increase. It surely will alter U.S. society. It has snowballed rapidly, unexpectedly. The report says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most consequential shifts in American religion has been the rise

of religiously unaffiliated Americans. This trend emerged in the early 1990s. In 1991, only 6 percent of Americans identified their religious affiliation as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;none.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;Ś By the end of the 1990s, some 14 percent of the public claimed no religious affiliation. The rate of religious change accelerated furtherâ&#x20AC;Ś reaching 20 percent by 2012.â&#x20AC;? For senior West Virginians like me, who came of age after World War II, this secular tide is astounding. The world of our youth has been turned upside-down. When I was a young adult, the only Americans who mattered were WASPs (white Anglo-Saxon Protestants). They were the overwhelming majority. Their laws and customs dominated everything. But now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dwindled to just 16 percent among those under 30, according to the PRRI-RNS figures. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re destined to keep shrinking as nonwhite Americans rise, the Census Bureau projects. Politically, the situation is a mess. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonesâ&#x20AC;? strongly hold liberal, compassionate, progressive, Democratic values â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but they tend to avoid voting. They shun politics as much as they shun church. The report says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the last presidential election in 2012, religiously unaffiliated Americans had grown to comprise 20 percent of the public, butâ&#x20AC;Ś comprised 12 percent of voters. By way of comparison,

in 2012 white evangelical Protestants also comprised 20 percent of the public, but they accounted for more than one in four (26 percent) voters.â&#x20AC;? While other American groups are more committed to political action, about one-fourth of â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonesâ&#x20AC;? arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even registered to vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the start of the 2016 general election season in early August,â&#x20AC;? the study says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;religiously unaffiliated voters expressed a strong preference for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump (62 percent vs. 21 percent).â&#x20AC;? Despite their low voting rate, â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonesâ&#x20AC;? have become the largest segment in the Democratic Party base. The report says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among Hillary Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters, 7 percent are white evangelical Protestant, 12 percent are white mainline Protestant, 11 percent are white Catholic, 30 percent are religiously unaffiliated, and 15 percent are black Protestant.â&#x20AC;? (Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 75 percent of her backers. Perhaps the others are supporters whose religion isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinating to watch the culture evolve. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tantalizing to wonder where America is heading. Keep reading the news and try to find clues about the transformation that is in progress.

DECISION â&#x20AC;&#x2122;16

CLINTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HOLD GROWS IN TW POLL The results for the third week of Tacoma Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential poll show that Democrat Hilary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine have a strong, and growing, lead over Republican Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick Mike Pence. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results has Clinton with 77 percent (1,458 votes) versus Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19.8 percent (370 votes). Libertarian Gary Johnson posted 2 percent (38 votes) while Green Party candidate Jill Stein garnered 1 percent (22 votes). 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

TACOMANS VENTURE TO SEYCHELLES ON MISSION TO BOOST COTTAGE BUSINESS

TRIP. A group of Tacoma business women are visiting the Republic of Seychelles to teach women business practices as a way to shrink the wage gap on the island nation.

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

A half dozen of Tacoma's top business women are just shy of 10,000 miles from home to spend two weeks in the Republic of Seychelles, a collection of 115 islands off the East Coast of Africa, to share their wisdom about the world of commerce with young women of the little known island nation. The trip was the brainchild of Elizabeth Willis, a 30-year veteran of politics and international trade, most recently at the World Trade Center of Tacoma. The island just north of Madagascar is known as a hotspot for European tourists and has a few cottage businesses creating local crafts and jewelry for those tourists to take back with them. The locally organized effort hopes to change that by having the six Tacoma women â&#x20AC;&#x153;volunteeringâ&#x20AC;? their time and talent to women of the nation of just 90,000 people as part of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;touristâ&#x20AC;? vacation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hence the â&#x20AC;&#x153;voluntourismâ&#x20AC;? label. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mission Willis embraces as the Honorary Consul to the Republic of Seychelles, tasked with promoting tourism and business opportunities on the island.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a very cool job,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful. It really is.â&#x20AC;? Seychelles' main industries include tourism, fishing, farming, oil drilling and manufacturing. The former Frenchthen-British-then-French-then-British colony gained independence in 1976 after three centuries of serving as a stopping off point for trading ships and high seas pirates from around the world. This seafaring past created a mix of cultures drawn from France and England. Its independence as a Commonwealth of Nations member has transformed the islands with per capita income booming by seven times in the last 30 years, the highest personal income of any African nation. It, however, also has a large income gap between its very rich and its very poor. The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Entrepreneurial Workshops on the trip, which started when the group left on Monday, Oct. 17, will provide about 30 women with information, skills, direction and the encouragement to start their own businesses that create jobs for themselves, their families and others in the community. About 10 of the women in the workshops will serve as trainers for other women as a way to maximize the economic impact the newly minted entrepreneurs might

Danforth said. The group will present a program about their trip at the Tacoma Sunset Rotary on Nov. 10 and at the World Affairs Council Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Travel Talk on a to-be-determined date in 2017.

LOCAL CHURCHES BAND TOGETHER FOR COMPASSION WEEKEND

SERVICE. Fircrest Presbyterian and Redeemer Lutheran churches Compassion Weekend on Oct. 8 and 9 saw both of the churches baking cookies for the U.P Firefighters, Police Officers and Library Workers (left) as well as cleaning up Thelma Gilmur Park (right.) By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

On Oct. 8 and 9, Fircrest Presbyterian (1250 Emerson St.) and Redeemer Lutheran Church (1001 Princeton St.) joined together to share in a Compassion Weekend that included 12 different community service projects, three of which were local to the community. The groups made cookies for the local fire and police departments, as well as the employees at the University Place library. At the same time, a group cleaned up litter around Emerson Street and Thelma Gilmur Park. The third local project involved donating more than 150 pounds of food and 30 pounds of produce from the local church garden to the Families Unlimited Network. Approximately 100 people participated in the event, which included a gathering of all for a worship service and dinner as a closing on Sunday evening. This is the fourth year the churches have got together for a weekend of community service, and will be far from the last.

“The pastor at our church, when this started, was brothers-in-law with the pastor at Redeemer Lutheran. [Redeemer] had done one by themselves and then we decided we would try it together and we really enjoyed it; it allowed us to get together a bit and is a way to give back to a community, so we continued to do it together,” Fircrest Presbyterian organizer Sylvia Gentili said. The food drive serves the Families Unlimited Network, a local food bank in U.P., and the drive predates the collaboration. “We’ve been doing [the food drive] for a long time year round. There was an extra effort to collect food for this particular project; we’ve had a garden for the last couple of years so we also donated produce from that this year,” Gentili said. The cookies project was an important one to take on for the group, and included cards from kids in the churches as a way to support the safety the firefighters and police bring, and the education the library employees bring.

“We just wanted to say thank you for all that they do in the community. We really want them to know that we value them,” Gentili said. The process of cleaning up a road is new this year, but was successful with pounds of litter being picked up. “New this year, we decided that we would clean the Emerson street area and down in the gully – sometimes a lot of trash gets in there, between Emerson Street and [Thelma Gilmur Park]. We collected about 10 pounds of litter,” Gentili said. The project weekend is not only an opportunity to give back to the community, but a way for the two churches, located just a few blocks away, to bond with one another. “It really is our philosophy that we want to be reaching out to the community, to be of service – serving the Lord by serving other people. It’s not only reaching out to the community, but also people in need. It’s really a partnership mission, and we’ve found that has really helped both churches do other things now, too,” Gentili said.

time,â&#x20AC;? he said. Carpenter has probably seen more than most cops, with 19 years of service on the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SWAT team and volunteering for graveyard shifts in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more dangerous neighborhoods. During his career, 47 officers around the state have been killed in the line of duty. He knew 23 of them and considered 19 of those close friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put two of them in body bags,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that he has researched officer shootings around the nation to find patterns of what went wrong and uses that information as an expert witness on matters of use of force. What he concluded was that most officers were killed because they gave the suspect-turned-shooter too much leeway by getting too close or getting back into their cars or residence only to have the suspect return with a weapon. And the police shootings occur within the first minute of contact between the officers and their killers. He illustrated his point with a series of graphic dash and body camera footage of actual police shootings. One involved a driver obeying a police officer to get out of his truck only to taunt and attack the officer before returning to the cab of his truck to load a rifle as the officer repeatedly orders him to stop. The man then shot the officer. Another video showed an officer responding to a domestic violence call when a woman reported that her boyfriend smashed his television during an argument. The officer began talking to the man on the porch to take what would likely otherwise be a routine report. The man said he was cold and wanted to go into the apartment to get his jacket. The officer allowed him to get the jacket and calmly continued his interview. The officer asked to search the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets when the man suddenly pulled a gun and shot the

officer. The man reportedly then shot the officer six times in the face, took the officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service pistol and returned to the apartment to kill his girlfriend. The number of police officers being killed in the line of duty, about 171 a year around the nation, has held steady since the peak times of the 1980s, but what that statistic doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show is that the number of assaults of officers has jumped sevenfold in the last 30 years. Only advancements in emergency medical care have kept those assaults from becoming murders, Carpenter said. For contrast, police use deadly force on about 600 suspects around the nation each year, a number that is dropping in recent years as officers second-guess themselves in dangerous situations out of fear of what Carpenter called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Ferguson affect.â&#x20AC;? The reference is to a police shooting in 2014 of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. The U.S. Department of Justice later concluded that the officer, Darren Wilson, shot Brown in self-defense, but the shooting sparked protests and a national debate about police policies regarding use of force. In Washington State, it is outlined in a four-part RCW 9A.16.040 that includes â&#x20AC;&#x153;to arrest or apprehend a person who the officer reasonably believes has committed, has attempted to commit, is committing, or is attempting to commit a felony,â&#x20AC;? the suspect threatens a police officer with a weapon or â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed any crime involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical harm.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do not do what a police officer tells you to do, they can use force to make you do what they want you to do,â&#x20AC;? Carpenter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The offender dictates the fight, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? That said, there are times when officers are wrong, and they should face the consequences, Carpenter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that my profession is held to that high of a standard,â&#x20AC;? he concluded.

The majority of it is donated that people gave over the year, probably not intending it to be a Halloween costume but someone just saw the possibility. We also have new stuff for sale like makeup and hairspray, stuff you wouldn’t want to get donated, so you can make the whole costume complete,” Tiffany said. If you are looking to go vintage, it’s often better to visit a local thrift shop than raid grandma’s closet, as important vintage clothes can be ruined at a Halloween party or in other ways. Finding clothes that have already been donated to a thrift store is a much safer option for vintage clothes.

In 1954, Quincey was six years old, the third of five children, when her parents had a disagreement. “They separated for 15 years, then my father apologized and they got back together again until his death in 2005,” she said. “My mother moved back to Louisiana, and my father would visit us on birthdays and holidays, and he always sent money to my mother.” If her parents were slightly eccentric, Quincey was proud of them.

PSE is seeking approval on a financial plan that would divide the cost of building and operating the plant between its regulated-utility company and a new for-profit company for the commercial sales. The scheme would go against agreements that the utility provider made as a condition for its sale to an Australia investment group in 2008, after regulators feared that any private subsidiary would put utility rate-

He went 10 rounds.” Andy Walker got his shots in, but took more than he gave. Quincey didn’t attend the fight, but saw the aftermath and never forgot it. “The day after that fight, my father didn’t look like my father,” she said. “His face was swollen, bruised and I didn’t recognize him.” The fight may have cost him more than a beating. Over the next seven years, he fought 11 times and lost each. After the Louis fight, Andy Walker never won again. Late in his career, an east coast promoter sent him the price of a train ticket and wanted to set up a fight. “My father went and was offered a contract,” Quincey said. “But they told him the round he was supposed to take a dive. That was that. My father rode the train home, with his integrity intact.” When her mother moved back to Louisiana, segregation remained, with many businesses open only to white customers. “I started working there when I was 8, going out

vintage costumes as well as popular party games from a century ago, when Halloween had more to do with finding your soul mate than drinking a lot. Games always had a romantic tinge. For instance, blindly sticking a pin in a pumpkin engraved with the alphabet will tell you the first letter of the name of the person you will marry, and a blind taste test will tell you what kind of marriage you will have – spicy, sweet or sour. Tacoma Little Theatre’s Managing Artistic Director Chris Serface said that the theater is slowly integrating and immersive theater experience at TLT. “It is becoming more and more enjoyable for people to have that experience. While you still have the traditional shows you want to do, you want to offer as an organization things that might enhance experiences for people, so we like trying new things.” For more information on Goodwill, visit www.goodwill.org.

payers at risk of market swings. The projected construction costs, for example, have climbed from $275 million to $311 million. PSE and state regulators have been in negotiations for the past year and have reached a negotiated agreement that now faces approval by the three-member utilities commission. No timeline for a decision has been scheduled. The Puyallup Tribe continues to fight to have the plant’s shoreline environmental review reopened on the grounds that the review did not properly address the impacts that construction would have on the waterway.

with my grandfather, Daddy Bill, tagging clothes and writing the names in our ledger at his dry cleaning business,” Quincey said. “I eventually learned the entire dry cleaning and laundry process, and my grandmother, Big Mama, taught me how to sew and repair clothes on the old manual sewing machines. On Saturdays in the fall I would pick cotton from sunup to dusk and make 50 cents to a dollar per day if I hustled.” Out in San Francisco, her father became a longshoreman, reunited with his wife and moved north to Tacoma. Quincy, then in her late teens, returned to San Francisco, found a job with AT&T and discovered the Haight-Ashbury district. “There was a party every night and I became a full-on hippie,” she said, laughing. “It was a lot of fun for me, but I had a young son and I knew it wasn’t a good lifestyle for him.” She took her son and visited her parents in Tacoma. “I loved the community. I wanted my son to have a history somewhere, to know he'd belonged in one place growing up,” Quincey said. “I got a job with Xerox and moved to Tacoma.” She didn’t just want to live in the city. “I was always active in the community, but I had to walk or take a bus everywhere. I didn't get a drivers license until I was 40. I didn't want one," Quincey said. “I worked with male alcoholics at the Sunshine House, then with battered women at the YWCA. In those days, you counseled whether you had a degree or not. People needed help, you did the best you could. “I worked in juvenile protection, which brought me in touch with Remann Hall. I'd get calls at 1 a.m., 2 a.m., to go talk to young prostitutes, or their pimps. I worked with the health department and their AIDS efforts. “I worked with gangs and wasn’t above punching anyone in the shoulder,” Quincey said. “They teased me, would pretend to grab their shoulders and run when I approached them. “One night about 10 of these boys showed up late on my front porch. They said they wanted to play basketball as a team but didn't know how to go about it. They had the money, so I got the paperwork done and they formed a team – 'Homies to the Hoop.' “Their first Metro Parks league game, I think they intimidated their opponents,” Quincey said. “But there was never a problem on the court. No fights, no incidents, just basketball.” Now 68, Quincey and her youngest son, T.J., run a home for problem foster children, working with the state to provide stability to kids who have none. T.J. is directing and producing a docu-drama on Harriett Tubman. His main writer? Mom. “We’re friends, my sons and I,” Quincey said. “My nose is in everything they do, but they know that’s the way I am. I never married – I know my personality too well.”

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 to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC) in the spring of 2015. Joining in on the event were (back row from left): former Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon.

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

among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,100 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities – approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native – employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits.

In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 million. This spending supports 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.

PUYALLUP TRIBE SUPPORTS AREA NON-PROFITS Spirit of 12 Partners, Toy Rescue Mission, Emergency Food Network, Northwest Harvest, Toys for Tots and Tahoma Indian Center all gifted with major donations During the 2015 fiscal year, the Puyallup Tribe contributed more than $2.5 million from its charity and general funds into the local community with donations to various key charities and organizations. These generous donations will go a long way in helping these organizations to continue their vital efforts in the communities they serve. “It is truly humbling to know that there are so many people in need,” said Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud. “I feel immense joy in us having the ability to take care of those who need it most. We, as tribal members, know what it is like to grow up with nothing. It gives us all great joy to make someone’s Christmas happier than it would have been otherwise.” “The donations we made ensure the vitality of the people in our community,” said Puyallup Vice Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove. “It is critical to ensure families and community members, suffering from long or short-term setbacks, that they have resources available to get them moving forward in life. The Puyallup Tribe of Indians is not unfamiliar with difficult times. We relied on the support of our community organizations not long ago and it is of great honor that we, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, are able to pay it forward.” SPIRIT OF 12 – PARTNERSHIP WITH SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Founded in 2004, the Spirit of 12 Partners program embodies the Seattle Seahawks’ commitment to the Pacific Northwest community and its fans. The Puyallup Tribe gifted the Spirit of 12 Partners with $550,000 to help it continue its mission. This gift to the Spirit of 12 Partners is the largest since its inception in 2004. At every home game, Pacific Northwest youth service organizations partner with the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and Seahawks fans to raise funds for kids’ programs. These non-profit partners include YMCA of Greater Seattle, Treehouse (for foster children), Rainier Scholars, Boys & Girls Club of Washington State Association and Camp Fire Snohomish County. As Spirit of 12 Partners, members of community-based nonprofits distribute the Seahawks Gameday Magazine, keeping 100 percent of the proceeds that are then matched by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. In 2014, more than $527,000 was raised in the Spirit of 12 Partners program and more than $3 million in total funds since 2004. Grant programs advance the areas of arts and culture, poverty alleviation, economic relief, education and scientific research. “In the old days, in our aboriginal language, we were known as the S’Puyalupubsh, meaning ‘generous and welcoming behavior to all people (friends and strangers) who enter our lands,’ said Vice Chairwoman Hargrove. “It is with great pride, and boundless excitement, that the Puyallup Tribe of Indians will be supporting the Seattle Seahawks Spirit of 12 program. We hope that our donation of $550,000 is able to advance community programming and create innovative opportunities for children and families throughout our state. The Spirit of 12 program not only generates diverse outlets for personal success, but continues to advance the human spirit. The Puyallup Tribe of Indians humbly thanks the Seattle Seahawks for their steadfast efforts, friendship, and dedication to our community. GO HAWKS!!” TOY RESCUE MISSION Tacoma’s Toy Rescue Mission received $100,000 for its work

to refurbish and recycle gently used toys for disadvantaged children and seniors in care facilities while providing meaningful volunteer opportunities for the young at heart. Not only does the Mission make birthdays, Easter and Christmas bright for children and seniors, its way of recycling toys is environmentally friendly too. At Christmas time, the mission typically serves more than 125 families a day starting around Dec. 2. In total last year, the mission served 11,152 children and seniors, 7,000 of those in December alone. The mission provides for children’s birthdays throughout the year and is at its busiest at Christmas, Easter and back-to-school time. Serving the South Sound for more than 20 years, the Toy Rescue Mission is nearly 100 percent volunteer run and receives no state or federal funding, nor is it affiliated with DSHS or any other state agency. Toy Rescue Mission Director and Board President Martha Davis said the Tribe’s donation is the largest one the Mission has ever received, and she was floored to receive it. “I was in a state of shock to be honored in such a way that I can continue serving the children of Tacoma,” she said. That the donation came at Christmastime, the Mission’s busiest time of year, is the icing on the cake. “We have already served nearly 900 families in eight days and I still have until Dec. 23. I wonder each day how many families will be coming in and if I have enough stuff, and now I don’t have to say no.” NORTHWEST HARVEST A longtime supporter of Northwest Harvest, the Tribe gave $50,000 to this organization, in keeping with generous donations of years past. Northwest Harvest is Washington’s own statewide hunger relief agency. Its mission is to provide nutritious food to hungry people statewide in a manner that respects their dignity, while fighting to eliminate hunger. Northwest Harvest’s vision is that ample nutritious food is available to everyone in Washington State. “We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with the Puyallup Tribe in feeding hungry people statewide,” said Northwest Harvest CEO Shelley Rotondo. “Their most recent gift of $50,000 at Home Team Harvest puts the Tribe’s total contributions to Northwest Harvest at more than $1 million, which is over four million meals since 2005. With their ongoing commitment to strengthening the community, the Tribe’s most recent generous grant shows respect and concern for all of our neighbors in need. This is especially helpful since the demand for nutritious food continues to grow at a time when donations are down, yet one in five children in Washington are at risk of going hungry. The Tribe’s gift truly makes it possible for us to work toward our goal of ending hunger.” TAHOMA INDIAN CENTER Tahoma Indian Center received $100,000 to enhance its services to assist Native individuals to overcome their barriers to permanent housing, employment and self-sufficiency in a loving, protective environment. A program of Catholic Community Services, the Center serves 1,100 Native people a year free of charge, including serving 50-55 midday meals five days a week. It provides individualized and tailored case management to assist in accessing

support resources, offers free laundry facilities and acts as a mailing address for more than 250 people. Native cultural and spiritual ceremonies and social activities are held there as well. Through the Bridges Village housing program, 10 permanent and supportive housing units are available for Native families who have experienced homelessness. Among the many ways in which the donation will be used, the Center will expand its housing search and rent assistance programs, increase staff hours to provide more direct assistance, build a wheelchair ramp and reinforce stair railings (individuals in wheelchairs are currently carried up the stairs). “It’s an awesome, humbling gift. It will really make a huge impact. This donation will allow us to save Native lives,” said Program Manager Steve Gallion. “That’s the most important thing we can do.” EMERGENCY FOOD NETWORK Emergency Food Network (EFN) received $100,000 to assist in its efforts to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry. EFN partners with 73 food banks, hot meal sites and shelters, providing them with food at no cost to them or their clients, which are the homeless, unemployed, working poor, elderly, children and military. EFN maintains an eight-acre farm in the Orting Valley and has just started farming it year round. In 2014, EFN distributed 15.3 million pounds of food and accommodated 1,421,417 client visits, with 6,626 of these visits made by Native Americans. EFN was able to distribute 17 percent more food in 2014 than in 2011, keeping pace with the 11-percent increase in need in the community during that same time period. “It was like Chanukkah and Christmas all rolled into one,” said EFN Executive Director Helen McGovern-Pilant, noting that this donation is the highest EFN has ever received since it began in 1982. “It was totally unexpected, an amazing, generous gift and another way the Tribe reaches out to take care of their neighbors in need.” TOYS FOR TOTS Again this year, the Puyallup Tribe helped Toys for Tots with its blessed mission to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to about 50,000 less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens. At Christmastime 2015, the Tribe gifted $50,000 to the Tacoma/Pierce County Toys for Tots effort so that area children would not be disappointed during this most joyful season of the year. Toys for Tots also includes older teenagers who desire more grown-up type gifts but are overlooked by donors focused on young children. “Without the generous donation from the Puyallup Tribe, many kids in specific age groups would not have received gifts this year Christmas morning,” said Pierce County Sheriff’s Detective Ed Troyer, the local Toys for Tots coordinator. With the Tribe’s donation added to the support Toys for Tots receives from across Pierce County, the local Toys for Tots mission will continue to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community.

DEFENDING STATE CHAMPS GEAR UP FOR PLAYOFF RUN By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

he Stadium High School campus is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful in the entire United States. On Friday, Oct. 14, it was anything but, unless your idea of beauty is driving rain and bone chilling wind. The Stadium Tigers played host to the Wilson Rams on a night that seemed made for ball control and low scoring football, but the Tigers proved that they can put up points no matter what the weather brings in this 3A Pierce County League (PCL) crosstown rivalry contest. Coming into the contest, Stadium had been a great story this season, playing well and sitting on the verge of their first football playoff spot in school history. Meanwhile, Wilson was playing for their playoff lives, as a loss on this night would mean an end to their hopes for postseason play. The Rams played stoutly at first, holding the Tigers to a three and out on their first possession, and then marched right down the field on a 51-yard drive keyed by the running of Marquis Jenkins and quarterback Aaron Medeiros, who ran the final 10 yards for the opening score. The Tigers would answer twice before the end of the quarter, with touchdown runs of nine yards from Jamon Chambers and one yard from Hunter Wendling, and after the first 12 minutes Stadium led 14-7. The teams traded scores in the second quarter, both coming via the pass. Stadium hit paydirt on an eight-yard pass from Wendling to Max Novak, and Wilson responded on their next drive with a 13-yard pass from Medeiros to Michael Doss. One bit of bad news for the Tigers was the loss of Chambers to injury in the quarter. He would not play in the second half and ended up with 140

Winning a state high school championship in any sport is quite the accomplishment. In fact, it is a rare thing for a high schooler to be part of a title team. With a limited amount of time in high school, it takes quite the combination of skill, timing and luck for any team, in any sport, to put together the sort of winning season that ends with the big trophy. Once all the cheering has ended, the role of a champion takes on a new meaning once the seniors from that team have graduated and moved on. When the new season begins the following year, the returning players and new additions must battle through a gauntlet of games as the reigning and defending state champions. No matter who the team is playing, they will know from opening whistle to the final second of their season, that they have a huge target on their collective back for every single team they play. Quite frankly, a win over a defending state champion can make an average, mediocre or poor team’s entire season worthwhile. This is the crown that the Curtis Vikings volleyball team currently wears, and as the 4A defending state champion, they’ve witnessed foes bring their “A-game” against them every single night. While the Vikings returned much of their 2015 championship team, there were still four spots to fill due to graduating seniors, and for a sport that fields just six players on the court at one time, that’s no small task. When Curtis traveled out past South Hill to face the Emerald Ridge Jaguars on Monday, Oct. 17, there was no question as to just how big the game was going to be. The last time the two teams faced each other was on Nov. 14 at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, and it was for all the marbles. Both squads had clawed their way through an exceptionally difficult 4A state volleyball field to

DESPITE UNBLEATEN MARK, PLU WOMEN SLIP TO 20TH IN NATIONAL SOCCER RANKINGS

The Pacific Lutheran University women’s soccer team is 20th in the sixth regular season installment of the NCAA Division III Top 25 Rankings, released on Tuesday, Oct. 18 by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The Lutes (10-0-4, 7-0-3 Northwest Conference) remain in the poll for the sixth consecutive week, sagging four spots to 20th despite finishing up their road swing unbeaten (1-0-1) over the weekend to secure sole possession of first place in the NWC standings. PLU blanked Whitworth University 2-0 on Saturday behind a pair of scores from NWC Offensive Player of the Week Machaela Graddy before earning a 2-2 double overtime draw on Sunday at Whitman College. The nation’s top five held serve with William Smith College (14-0) maintaining the No. 1 ranking followed by Williams College (12-0-1) and Texas-based Trinity University (13-0). Thomas More College (14-0-1) is fourth with Stevens Institute of Technology (13-0) rounding out the top five.

PLU VOLLEYBALL SWEEPS WEEKLY NWC HONORS AFTER BIG WEEKEND

The Pacific Lutheran University volleyball team earned a clean sweep of the Northwest Conference Player of the Week awards on Monday, Oct. 17 after emerging from Oregon with a pair of victories over the weekend. Isabella Zubrod secured Offensive Player of the Week, while Caylie Shiramizu earned Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season. Zubrod earns the offensive award, pacing the Lutes in kills in both matches. The native of Puyallup finished one dig shy of a triple-double on Friday, Oct. 14 collecting 11 kills, 12 assists, and nine digs in PLU’s (9-9, 7-3 NWC) three set sweep of Willamette University before netting a triple double in the Lutes come from behind 3-1 win over Lewis & Clark College on Saturday. The nursing major had 12 kills, 14 assists, and 10 digs in the match along with a pair of service aces. Shiramizu claims the defensive honor for the second time in 2016, after leading the Lutes in digs in both matches. The defensive specialist and Honolulu, Hawaii native secured 25 digs on Friday in the Lutes’ sweep of the Bearcats before netting 17 digs on Saturday at Lewis & Clark. Shiramizu previously won NWC Defender of the Week back on Sept. 19. The sophomore currently ranks second in the NWC in digs, averaging 5.82 per set. PLU returns to the court on Wednesday evening, gearing up for the second leg of the Battle of the South Sound, trekking across town to face the University of Puget Sound at 7 p.m.

PLU’S ROSE GARNERS NWC DEFENDER OF THE WEEK NOD

The Northwest Conference released its weekly award winners for men’s soccer on Monday, Oct. 17 with Pacific Lutheran University goalkeeper Jack Rose securing NWC Defender of the Week accolades. The Puyallup native tallied four saves in a 1-0 victory over Willamette University on Saturday, collecting his second consecutive clean sheet before stopping five shots in 86 minutes of action on Sunday against Linfield College, collecting the combined shutout with Tyler Ohata in the Lutes’ (8-5-2, 5-3-1 NWC) 3-0 win. The junior has now gone 294 minutes without allowing a goal and boasts a 0.73 goals against average on the season in 745 minutes of work. Rose is the first Lute to win NWC Defender of the Week honors this season while forward Eddie Na has been the NWC Offensive Player of the Week on two occasions, claiming the award on Sept. 8 and again on Sept. 26. PLU returns to the pitch on Saturday, Oct. 22, facing Whitworth University at 2:30 p.m. in Spokane.

LUTES DROP A WILD ONE ON HOMECOMING WEEKEND

Big plays ruled the day on Saturday, Oct. 15 for the Pacific Lutheran University football team but it wasn’t enough to claim the victory on Homecoming, falling 45-41 to Whitworth University after the Pirates scored the final 21 points at Sparks Stadium. The PLU (3-2, 2-1 Northwest Conference) offense put up huge numbers on Saturday. The Lutes had 427 yards of total offense, passing for 250 yards while running for 177 yards. “We talk about our offense being a big play offense,” Head Coach Scott Westering said. “We get our guys to believe that just a basic play could be a big play. You never know when they are going to happen. It’s keeping guys competitive, and razor sharp mentally to know that this may be the play.” The big plays started on the first drive of the game when the Lutes converted a fourth and 19. Jon Schaub connected with Beau Lockmer for a 20 yard pass, to keep the drive alive. Schaub capped the drive by scoring on a five yard run. The big plays continued when Kellen Westering had a 70-yard touchdown reception from Schaub. Cole Chandler had another great day on the ground for PLU. Chandler scored two rushing touchdowns. The second was a 31-yard scramble, through defenders, down the near sideline for a touchdown. That score put the Lutes up 35-21. Big plays aren’t reserved for the PLU offense. PLU forced Whitworth (5-1, 3-0 NWC) to a fourth down late in the third quarter. Wyatt Shelley and Tanner Perry converged on Pirate quarterback Ian Kolste, bringing him to the ground on a sack. Defensive back Carson Ketter picked off Kolste going 93 yards for a touchdown. Ketter’s touchdown put the Lutes up 41-24 early in the fourth quarter. Ketter led the Lutes with 16 tackles. “It was fun,” Ketter said. “We’ve been giving Travis McMillion a hard time for stealing all the baloney to come my way this time.” Whitworth stormed back in the fourth quarter, scoring 21 unanswered points to win the game. Duke DeGaetano scored the game winning touchdown on a 10-yard run with 41 seconds left in the game. Schaub finished 10-for-12 with 151 yards while Chandler was eight-for-12 for 99 yards and a score while adding 69 yards and two scores on the ground. Kellen Westering caught eight balls, racking up 143 yards and two touchdowns. “I don’t feel any differently,” Scott Westering said. “Or love these guys any differently now than I did four hours ago. We are striving for excellence, and we got four more weeks, and however many after to do that.” The Lutes hit the road Saturday, Oct. 22 to face George Fox University at 1 p.m. – By Christian Bond, PLU Sports.

The Puget Sound women’s soccer team snapped a 12-game unbeaten streak, as the team fell, 1-0, in overtime, to Willamette on Sunday, Oct. 16. The Loggers (10-2-2, 7-1-2 NWC) outshot the Pirates (6-8, 5-5 NWC), 6-2, in the first half. However, despite forcing Whitworth goalkeeper Sienna Tanner into two saves, the two teams entered halftime tied, 0-0. The second period was similar to the first half, with Puget Sound recording three shots on goal, and taking nine shots overall. Yet both defenses held firm, and neither team was able to break through. In extra time, the home team began to take control of the game, tallying two shots on goal in the first minute of the first overtime period. In the 95th minute, after Puget Sound was called for a foul, Kathryn Bischoff took a free kick. Her set piece from 10 yards outside the box beat Logger keeper Lauren Thomas, and gave the NWC victory to the Pirates. The Loggers outshot the Pirates, 15-10, and also took more corner kicks (8-7). Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas (10-22) played all 95 minutes, making four saves. Erin Brosnan led the Loggers with four shots. The loss was the first for the Loggers in Northwest Conference play since a 3-1 loss to Pacific Lutheran in 2014 (Oct. 29), a stretch of 28 league games. Puget Sound’s next match will be Saturday, Oct. 22, when the team hosts George Fox. The match is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. and will serve as the Loggers’ homecoming match.

UPS LOGGERS STILL LOOKING TO STOP FOOTBALL LOSING SKID

Dustin Harrison pulled in a career-high 14 receptions, but the Puget Sound football team lost at George Fox, 44-10, on Saturday night. Harrison totaled 113 yards and a touchdown for Puget Sound (2-3, 0-3 NWC). George Fox (2-3, 2-1 NWC) jumped out to a 13-0 lead through the first quarter of play. The Loggers got on the board with 8:10 to play in the second quarter after Hans Fortune found Harrison for a two-yard touchdown pass that capped off a 16-play, 76-yard drive. The Bruins drove down to the Loggers’ eight-yard line in the ensuing possession, but Benjamin Martin’s firstcareer interception kept George Fox from adding to its lead. The end zone interception brought the ball to Puget Sound’s 20-yard line, where the Loggers began an 11-play, 68-yard drive that resulted in a 29-yard field goal by Michael Andris as time expired in the first half. Puget Sound trailed, 13-10, at the break, but George Fox outscored the Loggers in the second half, 31-0. Jacob Wuesthoff totaled 10 tackles for the Loggers. The senior safety has finished with double-digit tackles in each game this season. Puget Sound hosts Lewis & Clark on Saturday, Oct. 22, for a 1 p.m. kickoff during Homecoming Weekend.

EXCITEMENT BUILDS AS PLAYOFFS APPROACH

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

When the Bellarmine Prep Lions hosted state powerhouse Sumner last Friday, Oct. 14, it was easily the nastiest weather for a football game that I have ever witnessed. At times, the wind and rain were blowing sideways, and the playing surface at Bellarmine’s Memorial Field just kept getting muddier and muddier. Heading into the game, there was a thought hovering out there that this weather could very well play an equalizer role in the game and swing the game for the underdog Lions. Once the game got rolling, it was apparent that Sumner was not going to be any more impacted by the weather than Bellarmine. In fact, when it was all said and done, Sumner handled the nasty environment even better than the home field Lions. While the Lions were able to keep the game up in the air going into the third quarter, their inability to capitalize on the few Sumner mistakes, coupled with handful of turnovers turned a razor-thin 7-3 Sumner lead into a 21-3 final score. Heading into the contest, the Lions still had an out-

side shot at climbing the 4A South Puget Sound League standings, and with some great performances, and a little luck, could even find themselves flirting with first place. It wasn’t in the cards for Bellarmine. When the game was over, it was awfully clear that not only is Sumner (7-0, 6-0 4A SPSL) the toast of the 4A SPSL, they’re quite possibly the most impressive 4A football team in the entire state. While the Associated Press only has them ranked third in the recent top-10 poll, it’s hard to imagine seeing a betterprepared group of high-level athletes. The next two weeks are going to be huge games for Bellarmine (5-2, 4-2 4A SPSL). First, the Lions will have to make a trip to sixth-ranked Graham Kapowsin (6-1, 5-1 4A SPSL) on Thursday, Oct. 20. Graham Kapowsin is a beast and they have been tearing up teams since dropping a last-minute 34-27 heartbreaker to Sumner on Sept. 22. The following week, Bellarmine will host the high-flying Puyallup (4-3, 3-3 4A SPSL) Vikings on Friday, Oct. 28. If Bellarmine cannot get by Graham Kapowsin, they could enter week nine against Puyallup all tied up with the Vikings. That means the winner would grab the fourth seed into the 4A playoffs, with the loser getting the fifth seed. Entering the playoffs as a fourth or a fifth seed isn’t going to prove to be much of a difference when it comes down to who the opponent is going to be. Either way, it’s going to be an uphill battle. Both seeds will have to travel north. As it stands now, the fourth seed will be visiting Todd Beamer (6-1), the likely North Puget Sound Olympic champion. The fifth seed will face one of the best teams in the state in the KingCo champion. The winner between fourth-ranked Skyline

(6-1) and ninth-ranked Woodinville (7-0) will host the 4A SPSL’s fifth seed. So either way, Bellarmine is in the playoffs. They’re going to be put to the test immediately though. Followers of the Lions also know that they have a penchant for knocking off top-ranked foes on the road in the playoffs, so there’s always that ray of sunshine hanging out there. As it stands now, the 2A SPSL Mountain division title is still up in the air and will be decided on Friday, Oct. 21 at Franklin Pierce Stadium when the Washington Patriots (6-1, 5-1 2A SPSL) square off against the Cardinals (6-1, 6-0 2A SPSL). Franklin Pierce has been impressive all season, but still can’t garner enough votes to crack the AP top-10. Sitting in third place in the Mountain division is a Fife Trojans (6-1, 5-1 2A SPSL) team that has been destroying their foes, with the exception of a 45-43 nailbiting loss against Franklin Pierce on. The 2A playoff brackets have yet to be released, but look for the Cardinals and Fife to make some noise, as well as third-ranked River Ridge (7-0, 6-0 2A SPSL), the champion of the 2A SPSL Sound division. The big dark horse coming out of our area in 2A could very well be the Steilacoom Sentinels (5-2, 4-1 2A SPSL). After dropping their first two games to 3A Stadium and River Ridge, the Sentinels have ran off five in a row, including a jaw-dropping 33-23 win over powerhouse Tumwater on the road. Playing in their first year of eight-man football, the Tacoma Baptist Crusaders (7-0, 3-0 Sea-Tac) have been unstoppable in the Sea-Tac 1B league. The Crusaders are knocking off opponents by an average score of 55-9.7 a game. While the 55 average is not such a crazy number for a top-notch eight-man football team, it’s the fact that they’re giving up less than 10 points per game in such a high-scoring division, which makes Tacoma Baptist so impressive. The Crusaders recently entered the AP rankings in fifth-place. With a league title pretty much sewn up, Tacoma Baptist will get an automatic berth into the 1B state tournament. As it stands now, they may be on a collision course with either top-ranked Lummi Nation or third-ranked Neah Bay.

yards for the game. Wilson seemed primed to take over the game in the third quarter, but penalties and turnovers were their undoing. Each time the Rams had something going on offense, they were their own worst enemy. Medeiros threw two interceptions and Stadium was able to turn one of them into points as Wendling scored on a three-yard run that featured a move that froze the Ram defenders like statues and at the end of three quarters the Tigers were on their way to victory with a 28-14 lead that only grew bigger in the final stanza. Stadium’s playoff spot was locked up in the fourth quarter as they held the Rams scoreless and added two more

square off for a title. The two teams put on a show, as the match extended to four close games with Curtis finally overcoming their league and district rival by a score of 25-21, 25-18, 18-25, and 25-20. Not only had the Vikings edged Emerald Ridge for the South Puget Sound League (SPSL) championship, but they would go on to defeat the Jaguars a total of four times during the course of the season. Emerald Ridge would have to settle for a second-straight state tournament runner-up finish, but it was now a new season and a clean slate. With the new-look 4A SPSL at nine teams this season, a 16-game home and away setup wasn’t going to work any longer, so teams were only going to face each other once in the regular season. There is going to be no second chances this season if your team drops a game to a league foe. All of this combined to make the game environment between Curtis and Emerald Ridge absolutely electric when they met for their lone regular season tilt. When the final whistle blew, it would end up being a whole lot of deva vu for both teams as Curtis came away victorious in three straight games that were nothing short of furious. The two teams looked about as evenly matched as you could be during the first set, with both teams trading big hits, exceptional digs and stiff resistance at the nets. In the end, Curtis would take a 25-22 victory in game one. With no team gaining a lead of more than a couple of points, the next set was nearly a carbon copy of the first as Curtis again edged Emerald Ridge for a 25-22 win in game two. You could almost smell the playoff intensity in the air as the third game began. The look of determination was set

touchdowns. Nazje Briscoe took it in for the score from ten yards out and Trey Caldwell added a 17-yard dash to the end-zone and the Tigers finished with a flourish, winning 42-14. The small crowd that had remained through the wind and rain rushed the field on the Stadium side as all involved clearly relished the hard earned playoff spot. On Friday, Oct. 21, Stadium (5-2, 4-1 3A PCL) travels to play Lakes (3-4, 3-2 PCL), who are just a game behind the Tigers in the 3A PCL standings, while Wilson (3-4, 1-4 PCL) hosts Bethel (3-4, 2-3 PCL) that same night. With Lincoln (6-1, 5-0 PCL) hosting Bonney Lake (6-1, 5-0 PCL) on Friday, Oct. 22, there are some interesting scenarios that could unfold and play a major roll as to where teams will be playing in the first round of the playoffs. Should Lincoln defeat Bonney Lake, with Stadium knocking off Lakes on the road, there is the possibility of a PCL championship game when Stadium hosts Lincoln on Fri-

day, Oct. 28. Bonney Lake hosts Spanaway Lake (0-7, 0-5 PCL) on the same night and is a heavy favorite to win the game. Should Bonney Lake win, coupled with a Stadium upset of Lincoln, there would be a three-way knot at the top of the final 3A PCL standings, with Lincoln having beaten Bonney Lake and Stadium having beaten Lincoln. However, if Spanaway Lake defeats Bonney Lake and Stadium takes care of home cooking against Lincoln, the Tigers would not only be heading to their very first playoff appearance, but they would be doing it as the champions of the PCL, with a home game at Stadium Bowl to look forward to. Two wins by either Lincoln or Bonney Lake to close the season will wrap up sole possession of the PCL title for either team. There are certainly quite a few “what ifs” involved here, but it sure makes a great season of high school football even better heading toward the finish line.

like stone on the Emerald Ridge players’ faces, and it was obvious that they weren’t going to see this contest come to a close without putting it all on the line. The only problem for the Jaguars was the intensity emanating from the other side of the net as the Vikings answered each and every Emerald Ridge push and run. Twice, it really felt as though the Jaguars had swung the momentum in their favor and were bound to put some points together and grab a win. In a remarkable show of resiliency in the face of a loud, away crowd, the Vikings never wavered and just kept on doing what they do best. With the game three score knotted at 20-20, it was still anyone’s game. The teams traded points up to 22-22 and then Curtis junior Kasey Woodruff took over service. Woodruff would deliver an ace for a 23rd point, and then a defensive block at the nets by senior Abie Cole and Katie Yorke pushed game three to match point. A big hit by senior Emma Estigoy closed out Emerald Ridge’s hopes for the final point and the Vikings celebrated another win over their rivals.

Curtis wraps up their regular season with a home match on Monday, Oct. 24 against Graham Kapowsin. The Vikings currently sit in third place in the 4A SPSL, behind Puyallup and Bellarmine. There is still an outside shot that Curtis could claim a share of the league title with Puyallup and Bellarmine, but Viking head coach Michael Miller has his team already looking toward the league tournament that begins on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at various sites, and he knows that each and every team they face from here on out will be itching to knock off the reigning state champions. “Going into this game, I knew this was going to be a true test of the season to see if we’ve continued to grow as the season has went on,” said Miller. “I’m looking to the league tournament. If we can finish up in the top-three and take it one match at a time, we’ll have a nice seed into the district tournament. It is lonely at the top, but every year is a new year and we’ve got to look at it as one match at a time.”

Last week, we highlighted the plague of creepy clowns that seemed to have invaded South Sound this month. In order to further diffuse that situation this week, we offer a list of socially acceptable places for wearing those killer clown duds, where locals will be similarly dressed in anticipation for Halloween. Or maybe you’ll consider wearing something that’s not a trigger for people whose parents let them watch “It” before their little minds could handle that creepy Pennywise guy – a sexy Ken Bone outfit, perhaps. (Yes, that is a thing. Look it up on Amazon.) Whatever you decide, here are a few hot spots where you can pre-funk for the big day, which falls on a Monday this year. (Lame.)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was born a pair of ears, and nothing else. It is only through hearing music that I know God exists.â&#x20AC;? - Antoino Salieri The Pacific Lutheran University drama department is currently running a production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amadeusâ&#x20AC;? that combines great acting, great stage craft and great costuming to put out a drama that is as good as anything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to encounter anywhere else in town.

The PLU production is directed by Jeff Clapp who, in addition to his post as a PLU professor of theater, has worked extensively with Tacoma Opera. Revolving around the biography of the 18th century musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, this tale is narrated by the protagonist/villain Antonio Salieri, a composer contemporaneous to Mozart who is supposed to have confessed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in his old age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the murder of Mozart, who died at the young age of 35. Salieri, played by Nick Hager, addresses the audience as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ghosts of the futureâ&#x20AC;? to whom he then narrates his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story, which takes a dramatic swing once he encounters Mozart and hears music that he understands to be divinely inspired. The encounter causes Salieri, who was a court composer in the employ of Hapsburg Emperor Joseph II, to realize his own mediocrity. Salieri cannot understand why the divine gift of such musical genius should reside in a figure as uncouth and vain as Mozart. By contrast, Salieri promised God to live a life of virtue in return for winning fame as a composer. In the end, however, all he had was the musical sensibility to recognize Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towering genius while he himself was unable to channel such music.

Consequently, Salieri turns against God and becomes rather like Satan in John Miltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paradise Lost.â&#x20AC;? Vowing to thwart Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;creatureâ&#x20AC;? by doing all that he can, Salieri seeks to hinder Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career and aid Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self destruction. Hagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendition of Salieri is engaging throughout the performance, combining amiability and dark humor to bring the worldly, yet sensitive, old Italian courtier to life. Hager has the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the script and handles it all with an easy deftness as he highlights the contrast between human limitation and divine perfection. Salieri invokes the audience as his confessors so that he can explain his actions and motives and ask for absolution. James Clifford, as Mozart, is overflowing with a bubbly energy as he portrays the child-man composer who is filled with divinely inspired music, yet seems morally unrestrained. PLU Freshman Gabriela Tatone is a revelation as Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young wife Constanze. The audience was continually amused by Chuck Sternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of emperor Joseph II who constantly sums things up with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;well, there it is.â&#x20AC;? The crew has done a wonderful job with the staging, dramatic light effects and sound engineering in making this production flow along without ever dragging. Kathleen Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costume designs are especially well done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amadeusâ&#x20AC;? is inspiring in reminding one of the greatness of Mozart. He took ordinary people and, through music, gave them legendary status. By contrast, men like Salieri took legends and made them mediocre (as Salieri himself laments). The play is a meditation on the nature of genius. Salieri says that he was a good man but that goodness meant nothing in the furnace of art. PLUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amadeusâ&#x20AC;? is entertaining, inspiring and thought provoking. The play runs through Oct. 23 with performances at 7:30 p.m. Fri. and Sat. and 2 p.m. Sun. For further information visit www.plu. edu/communication-theatre. With ticket prices from $3 to $8, the show is a steal.

THE DARK SEASON

7!4%2 02//&. Participants in the Auburn Days Winerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5K fun run donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let a little rain stop â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. Neither should you.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve survived at least one Tacoma winter, you know what to expect: shorter days, chilly temps and rain. Lots of rain. Beginning in October and stretching through March, the Dark Season is one long, tortuous meditation on all things gray. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a fitness enthusiast, it might appear that your only choice is to retreat to the climate-controlled indoors. That or grow gills. But plenty of people keep on exercising outdoors right through fall and winter with nary a complaint. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they know a well-kept secret about the weather: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that bad. Sure, from the toasty comfort of your home or office, the weather outside looks gloomy and foreboding. But try this the next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re intimidated by lousy weather: go outside. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that cold. The wind isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that bad, and even when

it is, it can be an invigorating experience to be stood upright by an overpowering southwesterly gust. As for the rain, remind yourself that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waterproof, even if your clothes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming down one drop at a time or in horizontal sheets, rain just rolls off you. That said, even the hardiest souls invest in keeping warm and dry while they exercise. So here are a few tips to keep you fit during the Dark Months. First, make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the best gear you can afford. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a runner or walker, that means reasonably new shoes with tread that actually grips the asphalt (or mud). That means spending a few extra bucks for moisture-wicking layers. Not all materials are equal. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better off running in your birthday suit than wearing cotton during a rain squall. Cotton doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just absorb moisture; it clings to your body and can actually has-

ten hypothermia. Reach instead for that Dri-Fit shirt or that Gore-Tex jacket. Are you a cyclist? One word: fenders. They might not look sleek or particularly aerodynamic, but fenders are all that stand between you and a muddy skunk stripe up your back. Cyclists, though, need to worry about more than just spray from their tires. Can you see the road in front of you when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raining? Not without proper eyewear. Is your bike in proper working order? The time to check your brake pads or lube your chain is before you hit the slick road, not after. And make sure you give yourself time to dry off your bicycle after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finished. Protect that investment. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get bogged down in technology. When it comes to gear, some solutions are remarkably straightforward. A simple baseball cap will keep the rain out of your eyes during a run, and wool socks make great

Plenty of people keep on exercising outdoors right through fall and winter with nary a complaint. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they know a well-kept secret about the weather: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that bad.

mittens when the mercury plummets. Conventional wisdom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; i.e., what your mom told you all those years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is generally true when it comes to staying warm. If you properly outfit your extremities (your head, hands and feet), youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go a long way toward maintaining comfort while exercising in the cold. But sometimes you have to be willing to buck tradition. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dumping outside, for example, I throw on a baseball hat and maybe a pair of gloves before going out for a run, but I limit my outerwear to a decent pair of lined shorts and a high-tech T-shirt of some kind. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather not wear a bulky jacket or running pants in a downpour, since everything is just going to get soaked anyway. While contemplating your gear needs, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget safety. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a cyclist, be sure to turn on that headlamp and blinking taillight, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take corners like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re racing in the Tour de France. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a walker or runner, choose bright clothing for daylight workouts and shoes and tops with reflective piping for predawn or evening workouts. Save your favorite Gothic outfit for the treadmill. Finally, be willing to learn from your mistakes. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the value of petroleum jelly, for example, until after your nipples are chafed and bleeding from running 10 miles in the rain. But those kinds of lessons need not be learned more than once.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: ROGER WATERS Legendary British rocker Roger Waters will return to the Tacoma Dome on June 24, his first appearance in Tacoma since he brought his epic production for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wallâ&#x20AC;? in 2010.

Strumfeld and newest member Liliana Urbain. The band has toured almost constantly for three years. "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

There is no bigger muse for Band of Lovers than the open road, and one need only spin a few tracks from the folkpop groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coast,â&#x20AC;? to figure out where it has been. The trio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; singer and ukelele player Sabina Beachdell, singer-guitarist Dave Strumfeld and drummer Liliana Urbain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will share musical tales from their travels Friday evening at Immanuel Presbyterian Church. As its name suggests, Beachdell and Strumfeld are, indeed, a couple. They met at Purchase College in their home state of New York; and their disarmingly sweet debut single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tennessee,â&#x20AC;? recalls the first big test of their relationship. Beachdell had lined up work on a farm in Colorado, and the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan was to spend a few romantic days together, following the Bonnaroo Music Festival, before she departed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He went south and I went west to see what we could see,â&#x20AC;? she sings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I would be free, but I took his heart with me.â&#x20AC;? Being apart was unbearable. Strumfeld followed her west, and they met up a few months later in Santa Cruz, Calif. Their relationship blossomed, and a new musical partnership was formed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sabina kind of kicked everything off and got the travel bug going,â&#x20AC;? Strumfeld recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From there, we formed a band realizing that was a way we could facilitate traveling.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without really letting up, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve toured like 10 months out of the year,â&#x20AC;?

Beachdell added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done that for three years straight now.â&#x20AC;? Their songs provide a musical road map of their adventures: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coal Trainâ&#x20AC;? recalls a stormy, snakebitten ride through Colorado; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ponderosa Pinesâ&#x20AC;? captures the breathtaking majesty of driving through the Arizona desert; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;? rekindles the excitement of feeling like a fish out of water in the Bay Area. Along the way, the duo has adopted a few homes away from home, including Pierce County. The couple lived in Gig Harbor and played Tacoma frequently in early 2015, around the time â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coastâ&#x20AC;? was released. Hence the line â&#x20AC;&#x153;I left an empty tin can in Tacoma,â&#x20AC;? which opens a newer song called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carry You,â&#x20AC;? a shout out to Tacoma blues musician Cody Raymond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a song called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tin Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that was battinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around our heads a ton when we were on tour,â&#x20AC;? Beachdell explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both an homage to him and the music scene that inspired us in Tacoma.â&#x20AC;? Band of Lovers plans to release â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carry Youâ&#x20AC;? as a single early next year ahead of their sophomore album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Tour.â&#x20AC;? Friday will mark the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first appearance in Tacoma as a trio, and they seem giddy to showcase their expansive new sound. Urbain joined in January after touring with Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Diana DeMuth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was actually trained in rock, Latin, jazz and funk, so playing folk has been a really awesome exploration,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool to incorporate some of the groove from

Tacoma is the first place that ever really adopted us and made us feel like we were home.â&#x20AC;?
