PUGET SOUND ENERGY TO START PLANNING FOR COMMUNITY MEETING COUNCILMEMBERS CALL FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY REGARDING PSE'S PLANS

FORUM WOULD INCLUDE EXPERTS

GAS. The liquefied natural gas plant slated for the tideflats has raised concerns with residents and raised eyebrows with elected officials, who have called for more public discussion about the plans. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

uget Sound Energy is planning a public forum concerning its planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) plan as pressure and concerns continue to rise in the community and in City Hall. Details about the forum are still in the works and come after Tacoma Councilmembers Ryan Mello and Victoria Woodards joined the call for PSE to address critics of the proposed 8 million gallon plant. The councilmembers sent PSE President and CEO Kimberly Harris a formal letter last week outlining

“Our community has every right to fully understand the benefits and the risks of the project in order to make an informed decision..." their concerns and their call for more community dialogue about the proposed LNG facility. “There are serious, valid concerns regarding the safety of this plant in the currently proposed location. Our community has every right to fully understand the benefits and

the risk of the project in order to make an informed decision and to better inform ourselves about the impacts of a project, that up until this point, have been unclear and ambiguous at best,” according to the letter. “Furthermore, to this u See PSE page 10

NOW OPEN. While Puget Sound Energy

faces questions about its planned liquefied natural gas plant on the tideflats, Clean Energy Fuels Corp announced the opening of a public natural gas station along Interstate 5 in Fife. The station will allow trucking fleets to operate from state to state utilizing natural gas vehicle fuel. The station, located at 3013 20th St. E., was designed, built, and will be operated and maintained by Clean Energy. The station consists of two liquefied natural gas fast-fill pumps, and is open to the public around the clock. Interstate Distributor Co., headquartered in Tacoma, will use the station for its fleet of LNG tractors operating throughout the Pacific Northwest.

WATER. RedLine Tacoma, a grassroots effort centered on the conser-

vation of Tacoma's water supply, has filed a lawsuit against the City of Tacoma, alleging officials blacked out legal bills regarding the legal challenges from citizen initiatives the group was championing.

SAVE TACOMA WATER FILES SUIT AGAINST CITY OVER LEGAL BILLS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Save Tacoma Water has filed a lawsuit in Pierce County Superior Court against the City of Tacoma, claiming the city violated the state’s Public Records Act by heavily redacting records the group sought regarding legal billing for Pacifica Law Group about the water initiatives earlier this year. The grassroots effort filed the lawsuit on Tuesday, Oct. 18 and received less-redacted versions of the legal

invoices the following day. Tacoma Public Disclosure Assistant Lisa Anderson explained that the initial documents were overly redacted in error because the request did not go through all of the city’s review processes, which would have removed many of the redactions. “I am in the process of reviewing and re-redacting responsive records,” she wrote in an email regarding the invoices sent to STW organizer Sherry Bockwinkel, which she provided to media outlets. “A current batch of invoices u See sTW / page A10

On Sept. 6, 1957 Ed Sullivan made television history by broadcasting Elvis Presley – from the waist up – singing seven songs in a New York studio. On his Tacoma living room floor, 11-year-old Don Kirsch watched and, though he wasn't aware of it, his life changed. The music Presley delivered that night was rock-a-billy, songs like “Hound Dog,” “Don't Be Cruel” and “When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again.” Kirsch had never heard anything like it. Now 70, he hasn't heard anything he liked more. “I bought my first record a year later, an Elvis song, 'I Beg of You,'” Kirsch said. “Unfortunately, it was a 78-RPM, because we didn't have a machine at

VIEWPOINT. Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor talks about the troubles of looking at law enforcement singularly rather than hollistically as a broader community discussion about rights and civic responsibilities.

SHERIFF: ‘IF IT’S WORTH DOING, IT’S WORTH PAYING FOR’ By Steve Dunkelberger

stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor is running for reelection in November, albeit unopposed, for a position he has held for the last 15 years, surviving a shift from the position of county’s top cop changing from an appointed to an elected position eight years ago. Alongside his local law enforcement duties, Pastor serves as a national lecturer on police matters, including efforts with the FBI's National Executive Institute and the American Leadership Forum as a senior fellow. u See cRimE / page A5

Bulletin Board COME ONE, COME ALL TO ANNUAL HOLIDAY HERITAGE SWING DANCE The public is invited to remember the railroad for the third annual Holiday Heritage Swing Dance on Friday, Nov. 4, from 6-9 p.m. at Freighthouse Square (2501 E. D St., Rainier Room). The event will feature the Pierce County Community Big Band, a swing dance demonstration by Studio 6 Ballroom, free refreshments and a no-host bar will also be available. This historic preservation fundraiser is commemorating Tacoma’s railroad history and the Prairie Line Trail. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in period costume. “This is our last big event for our 2016 program which was ‘Secret Tacoma: Tacoma’s Surprising History,’” said Historic Preservation Coordinator Lauren Hoogkamer. “We look forward to exploring a new aspect of Tacoma’s history in 2017 – we have big things planned.” This event is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation for entry that will go to support heritage programming and events in 2017. Visit cityoftacoma.org/ HPEvents for more information or contact Hoogkamer at lhoogkamer@cityoftacoma.org or call (253) 591-5254. To RSVP, visit the Tacoma Historic Preservation Facebook page. “Remember the Railroad: Third Annual Holiday Heritage Swing Dance” is presented by the Tacoma Landmarks Preservation Commission, the City of Tacoma’s Historic Preservation Office and co-sponsored by Tacoma Historical Society.

NORTH 7TH AND J 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.

TACOMA ART MUSEUM CELEBRATES DIA DE LOS MUERTOS Grab your friends and family and visit Tacoma Art Museum (TAM) on Sunday, Nov. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the colorful and lively Día de los Muertos celebration. The museum’s most popular free festival of the year offers an array of cultural activities including live mariachi music, dancing, hands-on art making, face painting and more. New features this year include a free youth workshop (limited capacity, sign up at event), lighted alebrijes (Oaxacan-Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures) and a metal folk-art activity. Nearly thirty community altars will be on view. The mesmerizing centerpiece is a tapete – traditional sand painting – created by local Tacoma artists. With complimentary admission all day, visitors have ample opportunity to see TAM’s exhibitions and participate in a day of cultural exchange. “We draw participation from families and groups who create incredible altars to honor loved ones. Día de los Muertos is personal, celebratory, and full of memories,” shared Britt Board, Community Engagement Manager. “The success of this event is the result of collaboration with our longtime partners from Proyecto MoLE, Centro Latino, and the Consulado de México en Seattle.” Lilian Córdoba Vázquez, Director for Community Outreach of the Consulado de México en Seattle, echoed the enthusiasm. “We are very happy to join TAM again to celebrate Día de Muertos. This festival is deeply rooted in the tradition of the south and center of México. It intertwines ceremonial symbolism, Catholic, and pre-Hispanic traditions with the ethnic and cultural diversity of the country. Death comes to visit, share, dance and eat before beginning again her path of eternal rest. We receive her with altars or ofrendas that include flowers, candles, and refreshments for the long trip ahead. This year at TAM we are particularly proud to incorporate the lighted alebrijes built by artists Ruben Castillo and Oscar Becerra, an explosion of colors emphasizing the festive character of Day of the Dead.” The community altars will be on view beginning Sunday, Oct. 23, through the festival on Sunday, Nov. 6. See Tacoma Art Museum’s website for details, or follow the Día de los Muertos Facebook event page. COMMUNITY INVITED TO ‘LINK AND DRINK’ Tacoma is growing in the two best ways: breweries and light rail. On Nov. 3, Downtown: On the Go will be highlighting the accessibility of Tacoma breweries using the Sound Transit Tacoma Link. Leave the car at home and use the safe, free, and fun transportation downtown to explore

what Tacoma does best: beer. In collaboration with Tacoma Green Drinks, we will be starting at Odd Otter Brewing Company, and hopping from brewery to brewery using the free Sound Transit Tacoma Link. Attendees will be greeted by DOTG staff on the link and have the opportunity to win prizes along the way. Participating breweries are Odd Otter Brewing Company, Dunagan Brewing Co., Harmon Brewery & Restaurant, Wingman Brewers Tacoma, and the South Sound Craft Crawl. The celebration of transportation options and connections to local businesses can grow when the region votes Yes for Sound Transit Prop 1. This means growing our transportation system, connecting local businesses, and more jobs here in Tacoma. Come see how transportation options connect us. Odd Otter Brewing event Coordinator Suzi Fransen says, “Participating in an event like this is an opportunity that not only brings people together, but it strengthens our community.” Connect with fellow Tacomans, local businesses, and local transportation options at Link and Drink 2016. Meet us at Odd Otter at 5:30 p.m. or find the event on the Link any time before 7:30 p.m.

CONGRESSMAN HECK TO OPPOSE TPP Momentum increased against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, as Congressman Denny Heck has announced he would vote against the TPP, calling it one of the most important decisions of his career. The TPP is a trade pact between 12 countries, comprising 40 percent of the global economy. The massive deal has drawn ire from environmental, labor, faith, and social justice groups for the impacts it would have on food safety, access to affordable medicine, human trafficking, workers around the world, and efforts to address climate change. “The presidential campaign highlighted deep dissatisfaction with globalization as we’ve managed it,” says Stan Sorscher, president of the Washington Fair Trade Coalition. “We are very pleased that Congressman Heck’s decision opens space for a larger discussion of what a true 21st Century trade policy should look like.” In his statement, Representative Heck explained, “I believe in my policy priorities because I care about people, and analyzing TPP should be a question of how it affects people.” Recent plant closures in Shelton, in his district, left workers largely on their own when their jobs moved offshore. Should our trade policy, he asked, force us to compete with low-cost manufacturing facilities with no/low safety standards, poverty wages, or child workers, facilities that spew out anything they want into the atmosphere or nearby bodies of water? “We have an historic opportunity to rethink our approach to globalization.” says Gillian Locascio, Washington Fair Trade Coalition’s Executive Director. “Across Washington State and the world, community groups are building local solutions to the crises of our time. These voices need to be heard.” KILMER RECEIVES NAVY PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA) has been awarded the U.S. Navy’s Distinguished Public Service Award, the highest honor a civilian not employed by the Navy can receive from the Secretary of the Navy. The distinction is given to individuals with an exceptional record of public service to the Navy, Marine Corps, or Department of the Navy. Secretary of the Navy Ray Maybus presented Kilmer with the award during an address to local leaders and military personnel in Bremerton last Friday. “It was humbling to accept this award from Secretary of the Navy Ray Maybus,” said Kilmer. “I’m proud to fight for our service members, the DOD civilians who support them, and our veterans. Frankly, I received this on behalf of our amazing community who step up to support the men and women who serve every single day and I look forward to continuing to be their partner.” "This award is to recognize Representative Kilmer's tremendous support for our Sailors and Marines and his forceful advocacy for the resources needed to maintain a strong Navy and Marine Corps,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. “We are fortunate to have such a dedicated leader in congress.” Since coming to office Kilmer has been a strong proponent for the region’s service members, civilian defense workers, and veterans. He routinely speaks out about the need to end the across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration that caused the furlough of many civilian defense workers. As a member of the Appropriations Committee he’s fought to support a fleet of 11 aircraft carriers while fully funding the Ohio-class submarine replacement program. Kilmer has also secured investments for construction at key local military installations like Naval Base Kitsap. Kilmer successfully obtained a two year extension on overtime pay for local shipyard workers who travel to Japan to conduct nuclear maintenance on the U.S. aircraft stationed there. He’s led a bipartisan effort to roll back DOD cuts to per diem rates for employees who have to do longterm travel for work. After the Office of Personnel Management data breach that left millions of federal employees and their families vulnerable to identity theft Kilmer successfully passed provisions into law to help. Kilmer also passed an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill that ensures that furloughed civilian employees don’t lose their security clearance as a result of financial pressure from sequestration. When he first came to office Kilmer formed a Veterans Advisory Group to focus on challenges that veterans face. With their feedback, Kilmer has worked on issues like addressing barriers to education and employment, veterans’ homelessness, reviewing and improving the Veterans Health Administration, and improving access to quality healthcare. see mOre bulletin bOard items at tacOmaweekly.cOm

THIEF CAUGHT ON CAMERA SMASHING CAR WINDOW IN TACOMA

#1 TWEAKER ALERT ISSUED FOR TACOMA FUGITIVE

By David Rose

Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

It’s a crime that only takes seconds, and it could impact you for the rest of your life. One victim is learning that the hard way after investigators say a thief stole personal DAVID ROSE information she’d left inside her in Tacoma. Investigators say the man, caught on surveillance camera, broke out the back window of Jamie-Lee Collman’s vehicle while it sat parked outside her friend’s home on South Yakima Avenue. Collman says the thief got away with her job hunting portfolio. “It had my Social Security card, birth certificate, resume with all my personal information,” she said. Since the burglary, Collman says she’s called the credit bureaus, the IRS and Social Security. Now, she says she’s getting credit card application letters in the mail for cards she’s never applied for. “My biggest concern is tax season. IRS says they flagged my profile and they’ll investigate it and figure something else out,” said Collman. At this point, she says, all she can do is wait and see, but Tacoma police

say this is an important reminder: Never leave anything of value inside your car! “Somebody breaks into your vehicle and they break out glass, you know, $250$300 to get the window replaced, but in this case, the long-term effects of what was stolen is going to be her nuisance for probably the rest of her life,” said Officer Loretta Cool with Tacoma Police. While Collman says she is learning that lesson the hard way, the pre-law, political science major is now focused on how she can take that knowledge and use it to help others who find themselves in the same situation.

HIGH PRIORITY OFFENDER SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON Michael Walter Wood, 57, a defendant with 13 prior felony convictions, was sentenced on Oct. 21 to 40 years in prison. He was convicted of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop while armed with a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree. “Getting career criminals off the street makes our community safer,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. On Dec. 21, 2015 deputies served a search warrant on Wood's car and residence after an undercover narcotics investigation by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. Wood was detained as he exited his car. He stated that his room was in the back of the trailer and that the officers would find "everything" there. Wood told the deputies they would find "meth, coke, and heroin" in his room along with an unloaded gun on his bed. The officers secured the residence and

located a .357 caliber revolver on the bed. Deputies also found five magazines for a Glock .40, a digital scale, ziplock baggies, $2,095 in cash, small 1x1 inch baggies, scissors with black residue, approximately 332 grams of methamphetamine, 98 grams of heroin, and 11 grams of cocaine and 180 Tramadol pills. The substances later field tested positive. The street value of the seized drugs is over $25,000. Deputies located three school bus stops within 1,000 feet of the defendant's residence. Wood's criminal history includes 13 felony convictions. The High Priority Offender Program uses data, technology and intel to identify and target the small percentage of offenders who are causing a large percentage of crimes. The goal is to reduce crime by focusing resources on chronic offenders. For more information, please contact James Lynch at (253) 798-6265, jlynch@ co.pierce.wa.us.

“It’s like any time a situation happens to you, that’s when you think maybe I could make a change or be that change to help people,” said Collman. Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for any information leading to an arrest in the case. If you can identify the suspect, call the hot line anonymously at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. This is one of the cases featured this weekend on “Washington’s Most Wanted” Friday night at 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.

UNSOLVED HOMICIDE Tacoma Police detectives need your help to identify the suspect(s) responsible for the murder of 29-year-old Tyrell Stokes. At 2:08 a.m. on Sunday, October 23rd, 2016, patrol officers heard approximately 20 to 30 gunshots coming from the area of the Opal Lounge, located in the 5200 block of South Tacoma Way in the City of Tacoma. When officers arrived, they found victim Tyrell Stokes inside the nightclub suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. Outside the nightclub officers found two other men suffering from gunshot wounds. Stokes later died from his injuries.

Inside the bar, there were over 50 witnesses actively fighting with each other and with police and fire as they attempted to provide medical aid to the victims. Many of the witnesses were uncooperative and refused to provide statements to investigators. Detectives have learned at the time of the homicide the victims were attending a hip-hop record release party.

PLU’S MediALAb LookS bAck, LookS AheAd Original documentary “Changing Currents: Protecting North America’s Rivers” premieres at Theatre on the Square at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 By Genny Boots Tacoma Weekly Correspondent

MediaLab at Pacific Lutheran University - the multimedia, applied research organization that celebrates 10 years of success this fall - counts more than 200 students as participants during its decade of existence. Housed within the School of Arts and Communication’s Center for Media Studies at PLU, MediaLab is a group of students that work in pre-professional settings, contracting with external clients in Tacoma, Seattle and beyond. In addition to performing fee-for-service work, student teams over the years also have created more than a dozen awardwinning documentaries, providing excellent opportunities for PLU students to gain valuable professional media experience. Associate Professor of Communication Robert Marshall Wells, faculty advisor of MediaLab, has directed the program since its inception. But Wells, who left a successful career in journalism to teach at PLU, said the idea for MediaLab actually came from fellow communication professor Joanne Lisosky. “I was sitting in a faculty meeting, minding my own business, and Dr. Lisosky was sitting next to me, and she said, ‘I have an idea. We should create some sort of agency and students would do all the work, the writing and photography for clients in the community,’” Wells recounted. “And then she turned to me and said, ‘And YOU should run it.’” That was 10 years ago. Now, the student group has produced five Emmy-nominated documentaries (with one Emmy win), along with 32 other national and international video and documentary awards, including three First Place Grand Prizes from the National Broadcasting Society and major film festival screenings in Tacoma, New

York City, Los Angeles, Vancouver and elsewhere. “It just grew, it mushroomed, and became this 700-pound gorilla that it is today,” Wells said. One of MediaLab’s first communityoriented projects involved writing stories, taking photographs and editing copy for a weekly newspaper that aimed to serve Jewish residents of the Puget Sound region. “I was tasked with writing a first-hand experience of an outsider's view of a service at Temple Beth El, in Tacoma,” said Melissa McGuire, an early member of MediaLab who graduated in 2006. “This project forced me out of my comfort zone and took my writing to a new level. It was one of the hardest, yet most rewarding, assignments I ever worked on.” Also during that inaugural year, Medi-

aLab students filmed and edited MediaLab’s first documentary, titled “Building Connections: Reclaiming Lost Narratives of the Alaska-Canada Highway,” which premiered at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma and ultimately was broadcast regionally by KBTC, Tacoma’s local PBS affiliate, as well as other public broadcasting member stations across the nation. “Building Connections” also received a First Place Award from the National Broadcasting Society. Surprisingly, “Building Connections” was originally conceived as an academic journal article, or possibly a book. The film was not an intended part of the original project. “It was an afterthought,” Wells explained. “As we were literally walking out the door, I said, ‘well, maybe we should bring a camera. Just for the heck of it. Just to see what happens.’” The “Building Connections” premiere drew a crowd of nearly 300 and became the first of several MediaLab productions to be televised. Creating and expanding the program wasn’t always easy, though. During the first year, there were struggles to raise money and start a client base. And, as is the case with any student group, MediaLab has had to contend with constant staff changes. “I’ve often referred to MediaLab as a

race car traveling down the track at 70 to 80 miles per hour,” said Wells, “and because we’re at a university, there is obviously a cycle. People are going off to study abroad for six months or a year, and people are graduating, and people are transferring in and transferring out. So you’re trying to keep the car on the road, while servicing clients, and people are coming and going all at the same time. It’s nuts. But it’s also exciting.” That excitement and energy is something that many current students and MediaLab alumni count as pivotal elements of their PLU experiences. “I would list MediaLab as one of the top things that impacted my time,” said Jessica Pagel ’08, now director of Alumni and Constituent Relations at PLU. “A lot of the stories from MediaLab are still the stories I tell for my job today about what sets PLU apart and why it’s so special.” Rachel Lovrovich (Class of 2017), MediaLab’s 2016-17 general manager, says her involvement in the program has been extremely valuable. “I've made so many important relationships with my peers, clients and past MediaLab members who will support me in the years to come,” Lovrovich said. “I'm inspired by the support and success of past members who have come through MediaLab in the past 10 years.” Documentary filmmaking has become an annual, signature project for MediaLab. Currently, students are hard at work on “Changing Currents: Protecting North America’s Rivers,” which will premiere at Tacoma’s Theatre on the Square at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12. The MediaLab documentary team has spent much of 2016 travelling across North America, talking to leading experts about issues such as watershed and river health, and the impacts of pollution and population growth on drinking water. Even though 10 years have passed, both Wells and MediaLab are looking forward to the future, with new ideas and projects. “The sky’s the limit,” Wells said. “We want to go as far as our talents can take us.” Celebrate with PLU! The 10th Anniversary of MediaLab event will be held Nov. 5 at the Tacoma Art Museum. For more information, please visit: www.plu.edu/ml10.

Residents of unincorporated Pierce County pay about $130 per year in taxes to pay for law enforcement, compared to $354 in Tacoma and $290 in Lakewood, for example. A recent study concluded that the sheriff is underfunded by about 80 officers for a department with 35 fewer officers than it had five years ago. But yet all crime victims want their cases solved and the criminals behind bars, while complaining about high taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the public is stepping up to its responsibility,â&#x20AC;? Pastor said, noting that the county jail has 1,800 beds but only 1,100 of those are filled because the budget wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow the department to hire enough correction officers to fully staff. Adding to that is the fact that the jail is the third largest mental health facility in the county with few resources to treat patients who have been arrested for crimes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is worth doing, it is

worth paying for.â&#x20AC;? The solution is to either lower expectations or increase money for more officers, training and equipment to meet the expectations. Society canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have both. Too many people are focusing on the rights they are owed without the addressing the larger issue of the responsibility those rights include, according to Pastor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizenship is not a spectatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sport,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to get off the sidelines and get into the game. We have a lot of couch potato citizens.â&#x20AC;? Officers routinely rush into dark, chaotic, tense and dangerous situations with little information and are required to be polite and by the book every time, as calls are coming in faster and becoming more violent with the increased popularity of guns and the rise of mentally ill people not receiving the services they need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not simple stuff,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are asked to turn on a dime, and I have to tell you itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very, very hard to do. That is what we are asked to do, and we will do it imperfectly. We will make mistakes.â&#x20AC;? Under those conditions, things will occasionally go wrong, Pastor said. Sometimes fault lies with the police officers, which then unfortunately becomes a rallying cry against all law enforcement agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not confuse the universe with the sample,â&#x20AC;? Pastor said of police misconduct being used to cast

shadows of suspicion over the entire profession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sample. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the universe of all interactions between police and the community. Most minority people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t criminals and most cops arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t racist killers.â&#x20AC;? He admits, however, that there are racist police officers and that should be addressed, but notes that racial bias is a human condition that infects everyone, everywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the best part of ourselves, in fact, it is one of the worst parts,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fact.â&#x20AC;? The struggle then is to acknowledge everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racial bias and work toward a shared solution rather than relegate the complex, societal issue as just a police concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black lives donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter â&#x20AC;Ś enough. We need to be upset that we are losing our kids, particularly minority kids,â&#x20AC;? Pastor said, noting however, that society also needs to be upset about the rising level of violence against police officers, while still holding law enforcement to high standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be inconsistent.â&#x20AC;?

Our View

The gOOd ANd The bAd Of ThIS elecTION Nov. 8 ballots are either in mail boxes, on coffee tables ready to be filled out or have already been signed and returned. If you have not yet registered to vote, the deadline is Oct. 31 to be part of the madness that has been the presidential campaign season. The Pierce County Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office predicts voter turnout will top 75 percent as local citizens cast their lots for the next president of the United States. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fairly strong turnout and should be celebrated. But there is trouble in that number. The last ballot had less than half that turnout rate, leaving the majority of the decision making of who will gain an elected position in the hands of a minority of people tasked with making such decisions. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarassing. It would be nice to think that citizens have spent the campaign season pondering the error of their non-voting ways, but that is likely unrealistic and the dismal voter turnout will return to ballot boxes just as fast as those same people will step up their crying about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with America. Whatever the results of the presidential election are, about half of us will be upset with the outcome because the candidate most of us will never meet wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sitting in the Oval Office. Yet those celebrating the election will have to find ways to work alongside those who mourn its outcome, and vice versa. We have to work together, regardless of the outcome or the path ahead. Our future is too important to continue to be divided and bitter about what is wrong with America at a cost of appreciating what is right. Rather than rant or rave about the campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outcome, maybe everyone can spend that energy promoting what is working and forging new solutions for what is not by bringing change to their streets, their schools and their local governments.

CLINTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S RETAINS LEAD IN TW POLL 76.79%% HILLARY CLINTON 19.87% DONALD TRUMP 2.09% GARY JOHNSON 1.25% JILL STEIN

The results for the fourth week of Tacoma Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential poll show Democrat Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine retaining their lead over Republican Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick Mike Pence. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results has Clinton with 77 percent (1,472 votes) versus Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19.8 percent (381 votes). Libertarian Gary Johnson posted 2 percent (40 votes) while Green Party candidate Jill Stein garnered 1 percent (24 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 safeguard against the repeat of such polljacking in the future. But, as you know, politically minded computer users can be an interesting bunch.

MAkINg AMerIcA greAT AgAIN?

By Gordon Fellman

It is interesting that the main word in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make America Great Againâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is the crucial word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remains not only murky but completely undefined. Does â&#x20AC;&#x153;greatâ&#x20AC;? suggest reinstituting slavery? Renewing colonialism? Returning to the least comprehensive and most inadequate health care system in the entire industrial world that preceded the Affordable Health Care Act? Going back before the New Deal to no Social Security, no government attention to economy-induced suffering? Many people assume that defining that word does not matter because it is widely understood to simply be code for â&#x20AC;&#x153;white,â&#x20AC;? as in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make America White Again.â&#x20AC;? Following the 2008 election, the Republican Party clearly imploded when faced with the first Black U.S. president. As that reality was pathetically dealt with as intolerable and to be ignored, defined, reviled, and undermined at all costs, and as demographics make it clear that whites will be outnumbered by nonwhites in this country within a generation or two, the race interpretation makes enormous sense, abetted of course by Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bizarre and childish birther obsession. Changes in this country since the Civil Rights, Antiwar, Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and LGBTQ movements have understandably rattled people who were bypassed by those vast changes in our society. Too little attention has been paid to

By Laura Finley

what it must feel like to have oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence in the assumed superiority of whiteness, war, men, and straight sexuality attacked head-on by forces not easy to understand if you are not part of them. Those guiding the victories of those movements ignored where that left those who felt no benefit from them. Of course anger was part of the reaction. It is puzzling only to people who wish not to face the emotional realities of losses of assumptions and positions that social change necessarily brings to lots of people. We see all those striking movements of the last 60 years as bound together by their massive rejection of normative, or traditional, masculinity. It is, after all, men who have been in charge of racism, sexism, patriarchy, war, and heterosexism. The movements in question all threaten the masculinity that had been taken for granted among men for millennia. What Trump is doing is reasserting normative masculinity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the frontier, business tycoon, prizefighter, football memes of masculinity. Trump walks with a certain swagger that characterizes normative masculinity. His unrelieved rudeness, sarcasm, and bullying fit the playground, football, and college fraternity forms of normative masculinity. Consider the trophy wife (this one with cold, hard eyes that remain locked in that place and cover nothing other than an utterly clichĂŠd celebration of Trump, America, and family). Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scorn for the rich (of whom

he is an integral part), women, the Pope, immigrants, Mexicans, disabled people, et al. is a style associated with calculating, cruel, cold hard men from time immemorial. What I see in Melaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes is what I feel from Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swagger and heart: hardness, coldness, and emptiness. Beneath all the bluster and boasting in that kind of man â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and his women accomplices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has got to be unfaced, unrecognized, undealt with pain. That pain surely matches that barely beneath the surface in his wildly supportive audiences. As Trump skims over all policy and other political issues, what is left is style. It is the style of a man who pathetically wants to be recognized as a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man and to welcome every man and woman aboard who will share in that aspiration and fantasy. The people so frantically trying to assert this join in denying that it is on life support at best and will give way eventually to empathy and compassion for all and for our planet which must triumph over sad, overblown toughness and bullying if we are to survive. The old masculinity is Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The new masculinity rejoices in preserving dignity, humility, life, and the integrity of our fragile planet.

The rAPe elecTION

Although I generally applaud the notion of a national conversation about rape and rape culture, the repeated coverage of the accusations against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and the responses he has given as well as those of his supporters, are deeply troubling. I fear they are reinforcing dangerous misconceptions about sexual assault, so am offering below five actual facts about sexual assault. Fact One: Sexual assault is not about the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looks. Rape is crime of opportunity and power, not sexual attraction. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, as others have said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pretty girl problem.â&#x20AC;? Yet Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense against the accusations made by Jessica Leeds, who alleged that he groped her on an airplane several decades ago, is that she â&#x20AC;&#x153;would not be my first choice, that I can tell you.â&#x20AC;? Such a statement implies that Leeds is â&#x20AC;&#x153;unrapeable,â&#x20AC;? a common but inaccurate and disgusting trope. Fact Two: Sexual assault is not funny or trivial. Yet Donald Trump publicly made fun of Kristin Anderson, a woman who claims that he reached his hand up her skirt and touched her vagina while she sat next to him at a New York night club in the 1990s. In a speech Friday, he mockingly said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then I went wah to somebody,â&#x20AC;? as he simulated the gesture. His supporters laughed. His supporters seem to buy the defense that all his comments about grabbing women were just â&#x20AC;&#x153;locker room,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad

boyâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;gutterâ&#x20AC;? talk, with some even suggesting it is not Trump that should be blamed, but rather the person who recorded him saying those horrible things. Former presidential candidate Ben Carson also trivialized the accusations, noting that it is common for men to brag about their â&#x20AC;&#x153;conquestsâ&#x20AC;? and denouncing the entire conversation as unimportant compared to other issues facing the nation. Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions claimed that the unwanted touching is not sexual assault, despite the fact that it does indeed meet the definition provided by the U.S. Department of Justice. Fact Three: False reports of sexual assault are uncommon. Although it is impossible to determine right now the accuracy of the many allegations against Trump, the reality is that, according to the FBI and other sources, at most eight percent of rape allegations are false, with some studies finding the false report number as low as two percent. Trump has repeatedly suggested that the accusations are all part of a Clinton-media conspiracy to rig the election against him, an idea that bears no resemblance to reality. But it does harken up all kinds of rape myths: women levy false accusations for attention, money, or because they regret sexual activity. I do believe Trump has the right to defend himself in the media and in court, should that time come, but a simple denial rather than a conspiracy theory would be more palatable. Fact Four: One of the strongest predictors of sexual assault is the way

a man views and talks about women. Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeated derogatory comments about women (among them â&#x20AC;&#x153;piece of ass,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;pig,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;bimbo);â&#x20AC;? the many allegations of harassment and even rape that have been made against him; his disgusting comments about the appearance of a 10-yearold girl (and other young girls) who he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x153;be dating in 10 years;â&#x20AC;? and his own words describing how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay if a man grabs a woman and kisses her without her consent, who even grabs her by her genitalia; are the type of beliefs and statements that are common among rapists. Fact Five: That other high-profile men have faced similar accusations does not excuse your behavior, both that which is documented and that which is alleged. That Bill Clinton behaved poorly (at best) when he was in the White House has no connection to the accusations against Donald Trump. Shockingly, Texas Republican Louie Gohmert even alleged that Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments were only due to the fact that he was chums with Bill Clinton, and so of course they spoke similarly. Given that fact-checkers have found that most of what comes out of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth is a distortion or flat-out lie, it should come as no surprise that he is peddling misconceptions about sexual assault. But we deserve better. Laura Finley, Ph.D., teaches in the Barry University Department of Sociology & Criminology and is syndicated by PeaceVoice.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, (Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local churches band together for compassion weekend,â&#x20AC;? Tacoma Weekly, Oct. 20) Wonderful news to read of 100 people joining together for a weekend of compassion. How about a few minutes of compassion to save lives? The Reach Every Mother and Child Act will work to save the lives of 5.9 million children and 289,000 mothers that die of mostly preventable causes each year in

our world. In spite of 201 cosponsors in the House and 25 members of the Senate, this bill is still stuck in committee. Calls and letters to our senators and representatives can make the difference in this bill passing. Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you seize this opportunity to show compassion for millions of mothers and children in our world? Willie Dickerson Snohomish, WA

IT’S JUST BUSINESS:

By William Manzanares william@tacomaweekly.com

In a lot of ways, service industry businesses – restaurants, auto repair shops, beauty salons, etc. – are unique ventures with their own set of challenges and rewards, and number one among these is the people who walk through the door. Service industry businesses depend on the lifeblood of interacting face-to-face every day with a constant flow of customers – the people who decide whether you make it or not in your business. You have a product or a skill that they don’t have, and so they need you. They have the capital you need in order to operate your business, so you need them. Sounds simple, but there is more to it than meets the eye. In any business there is a lot to keep in mind when it comes to attracting customers and keeping them. Customer retention is the bedrock to the stability and growth of your service industry business, so it is paramount to handle with care. Let me share with you a recent experience I had at a service industry business to help illustrate this golden rule. A few weeks back my daughter and I were at a local restaurant that I have patronized many times before. Although this restaurant came to be my go-to place for business meetings, lunches or easy dinners, my daughter wasn’t as thrilled with the place as I was, but I’m the type of customer who sticks with a good thing when he finds it. However, this all changed on that evening out. It’s well known that when you develop an allergy, you should tell everybody so you don’t accidentally kill yourself by ingesting what you’re allergic to. I have an allergy to nuts and while it isn’t lethal, I will break out in tremendous hives if I eat them. While at this restaurant that evening with my daughter, I ordered a salad and was very specific that I did not want nuts on it. I repeated this several times and you would think that the management and cooks would already have a keen awareness of food allergies anyway seeing as this topic is constantly on the news and of interest to food handlers. I don’t know if there was a language barrier or what, but they brought out the salad with peanuts on it. Again, I said, “I’m allergic and cannot have this.” Thirty seconds later, I kid you not, they brought me what I thought was a re-made salad on a fresh plate, but when I dug down into it, at the bottom of the bowl I found nuts. I was very upset by this time and let them know about it. They didn’t know how allergic I am to nuts – I could be one of those people who could die from ingesting nuts – but that really wasn’t the point. The point was that I gave clear instruc-

“Customer retention is the bedrock to the stability and growth of your service industry business, so it is paramount to handle with care.” – William Manzanares tions to the server and was ignored repeatedly. Needless to say, I didn’t order any more food, nor did I pay the bill, as services were not rendered. I left and will never go back. I’m thinking that in their mind, they wanted to save money, and so they took the cheap way out by brushing off the nuts on top and serving me the same salad again. Then they compounded the issue by not being gracious about it and doing all they could to satisfy a customer – and in this case it would have been simple for them to fix the problem. But no – they took the cheap way out. Now, I don’t know their margins and I don’t understand that business model other than the fact that they were trying to save money at my expense. The point I’m making is don’t be so cheap that you will ruin the long sale, meaning to ruin the future with

that customer and customers to come. Because of my experience there, I will never go back. If the restaurant had a policy to invest in their customers I’d still be a loyal patron and continue telling my family and friends to go there too. Now all that is gone for them and it’s not me being vindictive – it’s me being a customer who, like every other customer, must be taken seriously when I’m spending my hard-earned money. Go the extra mile for your customers. If an issue should arise between you and a customer and offering them something free or at a discount will help keep them coming back, then by all means do it. It certainly won’t hurt your bottom line and in the long run may very well prove to be your best method of advertising. A little conscientious customer service can go a long way so best to keep this in mind as you nurture and grow your entrepreneurial dream.

PuyAlluP Tribe joinS oTherS AT STATe cAPiTol To SuPPorT i-873 By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

Members of the Puyallup Tribe gathered with non-profit group Washington for Good Policing on Oct. 20 on the steps of the State Capitol to support I-873, a bill that will change restrictive language in Washington State law regarding police use of deadly force. Currently, Washington State law provides a defense against prosecution when a police officer acts â&#x20AC;&#x153;without malice and with a good faith belief that such act is justifiable.â&#x20AC;? Washington for Good Policing believes that since malice is a state of mind, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to prove, and I-873 looks to remove that clause from the law. On Sept. 26 the Seattle Times, in its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shielded by the Lawâ&#x20AC;? feature, referred to Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most restrictive law on holding officers accountable for the unjustified use of deadly force.â&#x20AC;? The bill hits close to home for the Puyallup Tribe. Last January, tribal member Jacqueline Salyers and her unborn baby were killed in a police shooting. Since then, the Tribe has stood united in demanding â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justice for Jackieâ&#x20AC;? and the story was no different at the rally.

everyone to come together to make a difference, to really make change. We have to do it together,â&#x20AC;? said Puyallup Tribal Council Member Tim Reynon. "One person can have an impact, but when you have hundreds of thousands of people coming together, you can do anything. Seeing all these people supporting the families and wanting to see the laws change, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it takes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it takes us coming together like this. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in this together, and for us obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very personal because

police brutality affected one of our own, and when it happens to one of our own it happens to all of us, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wanting people to come out and get the word out.â&#x20AC;? Justice for Jackie has galvanized the Tribe in the past year. At the rally, many wore shirts and signs that bore a familiar saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Native Lives Matter.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can safely say the reason the Puyallup Tribe supports this is because we as leaders are sworn in to protect our people, and preserve our lands,â&#x20AC;? Puy-

allup Tribal Council Member Sylvia Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been an injustice that has been going on for so long, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job to protect our people and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is protecting by supporting this here and showing these people here, the lawmakers, that these laws arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant for them to break, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for them to follow just like us, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we want.â&#x20AC;? The rally was not an antipolice affair, as many speakers spoke of the importance of officers in communities. Many are

simply looking for an answer to a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for us to come together and make a stand, especially to our Washington State legislators and the government, that we are demanding good policing laws,â&#x20AC;? said Puyallup Tribal Council Member Annette Bryan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not against the police, we are very grateful to them for all that they do. However, they need to be held accountable in the jobs that they do.â&#x20AC;? Just days after the rally, a single mother was fatally shot by officers on the Muckleshoot Reservation. Officers were called to the home for a wellness check where say they discovered the mother with a handgun along with two small children in the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The importance of this gathering is to come together and bring awareness and a call to action for people to support this good policing initiative so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to other children in our community. We lost a daughter, a niece, an auntie and we want to prevent other communities from losing mothers daughters aunties, nieces,â&#x20AC;? Puyallup Tribal Council Member David Bean said. Altogether, more than 100 people stood on the steps of the capitol in solidarity, holding signs and chanting for change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a force to be reckoned with and we will make the changes,â&#x20AC;? said Salyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cousin Chester Earl.

rAlly. Hundreds gathered to protest the arrival of fracking sand at the port of Olympia port, and called for Washington state to stop importing the substance and supporting the big oil industry. (RIGHT) The event saw several different speakers, including those that have protested the Dakota Access Pipeline. By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

On Saturday, Oct. 22 more than 200 protestors rallied at the Port of Olympia to protest the arrival of fracking sand at the facility. The protest not only rallied against the sand sitting just a few meters away, but touched upon larger issues such as the potential oil shipping terminals in Gray’s Harbor and to show support for protestors in Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The port received the shipment of fracking sand last month, and the material will used to help remove Bakken oil in North Dakota. Citizens came out to the Port Plaza to protest against this material on Oct. 22, to let the port know they want to cut off the material at one of its sources, and to get the message across that they can truly make a difference in the climate fight.

“We in the Northwest are not powerless in this fight; we are the choke point, the thin green line that big oil has to go through to reach the global market. Love water, not oil! We say no oil fracking sands at our port, and stand with Standing Rock and Quinault,” MC Zoltan Grossman said. The group gathered also sent their energy to the

protestors in North Dakota who have been protesting the potential pipeline since August at the Standing Rock reservation. The protest has galvanized Indian tribes across the country and continues to be of deep concern. The rally was hosted by the Olympia Confronting Climate Crisis group and saw supporters show up from all over the state,

including various groups of Natives ready to stand with those at Standing Rock, even if they were several states away. When asked how many protestors had been to Standing Rock in the last couple of months, many in attendance raised their hands. “Let’s bring that energy from Standing Rock, and let’s support our relatives here,” said Matt Remle,

a Lakota tribal member from Standing Rock. The reason protestors have been flocking to Standing Rock over the last few months to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline is the millions of gallons of water that could potentially be contaminated should an accident occur along the pipeline. Standing Rock Sioux and others are vehemently

opposed to such a risk to natural lands. In addition, the pipeline would desecrate sacred Sioux lands and put tribal members at risk of losing their beautiful homelands.

point, Puget Sound Energy blocked that information from being released. â&#x20AC;Ś We also have serious concerns about how the public has been engaged, notified and informed up to this point. There seems to be a lot of misinformation in the community, and we concur with the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent comments that PSE is spending so much time in court blocking information about safety, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The council members then ask for PSE to organize some sort of public, expertbased forum to address the purpose of the project, the environmental benefits it would provide the area, and answer concerns of the plant and its operations, particularly any mitigation plans to address safety and security concerns as well as the siting of the plant on the tideflats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lack of transparency from PSE in this process is counter to many of the conditions we laid out in our initial support of this project several years ago,â&#x20AC;? they wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We specifically articulated the expectation that PSE would provide numerous opportunities for public review and comment throughout the permitting process, and our preliminary support revolved around environmental and public health benefits that our community would experience.â&#x20AC;? Stricklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment and the council letter come after months of effort from members of the grassroots environmental group RedLine Tacoma to get answers at council, Port of Tacoma Commission and Washington Utility and Transportation Commission meetings.

home that played 45s.â&#x20AC;? Kirsch began collecting records â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically 45s. At first, it went slowly. Records cost money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I discovered that thrift stores had piles of them, for a lot less money, and I started to go junkin',â&#x20AC;? Kirsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That started my collection, and let me discover some obscure groups.â&#x20AC;? Obscure? Try Cigar Store Indians, The Polecats, Sleepy LaBeef and The Rattled Roosters. Kirsch loved rock-a-billy. What is that? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a musical fusion of rock-and-roll, country and rhythm and blues,â&#x20AC;? Kirsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be almost any mix, but it has to have rock-and-roll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion, rock-a-billy began in 1954 with Elvis.â&#x20AC;? As did Kirsch's love and pursuit of music. He cannot recall a day when he hasn't listened to music, and playing it led to collecting more. Collecting, in turn, branched out into a business model. Married with two daughters when he was laid off a job at a clothing warehouse in 1979, Kirsch began picking up novelty and rock-a-billy 45s to sell and trade. By 1988, he'd opened a shop on Sixth Avenue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The House of Records â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and ran it for 11 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, I only sell online or at shows,â&#x20AC;?

home and there's a comfortable parlor with 45s on all four walls. Novelty records, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Purple People Eater,â&#x20AC;? hang on one door. A collection of TV western themes decorate another. Each Christmas, Kirsch and second wife Oleta decorate their tree with 45s of all colors. In what serves as his office, there's an Elvis wall that includes a framed scarf The King handed him during a Las Vegas concert. There's a Wanda Jackson wall, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wanda is one of my favorite female singers, and I met her at a festival,â&#x20AC;? Kirsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We became friends, and when she had a concert here, I took my wife and picked up Wanda and her husband at the airport.â&#x20AC;? And that Elvis scarf? â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Sept. 1, 1957 Elvis held a concert in Tacoma, at the Lincoln Bowl, and I didn't get to go,â&#x20AC;? Kirsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was devastated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually, I saw him in Las Vegas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; saw him six times altogether â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and once I sat in the front row. I got a scarf from him, and when I sat back down with it, a woman reached over my back and tried to steal it. I hung on.â&#x20AC;? The first time Kirsch saw Elvis walk onstage? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like I was 11-years-old again,â&#x20AC;? he said. Kirsch never stopped collecting records, and thinks he has about 15,000 45s in that collection. If it seems like a lot, consider this: Kirsch estimates he has collected another 75,000 45s in the business side of his hobby. Yes, that's a total of 90,000 45s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you asked for any one specific ties of up to $100 a day per record, which has been apparently stopped by the recent disclosure, but the issue of the disclosure violation, request for attorney fees and associated costs remain. The city has 20 days to respond to the filing. The invoices themselves show that the city paid the Pacifica Law Group $65,000 between March and August for legal services about STWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiatives that would call for public votes on projects that would use more than a million gallons of water per day. The city was seeking legal grounds to challenge and stop the initiative process at the same time city officials were working with initiative backers on the legal process to start gathering

record, I couldn't just walk over and pick it up,â&#x20AC;? he admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I'd know where to start looking, at least.â&#x20AC;? Has he ever contemplated getting out of collecting? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have friends who have sold their collections two or three times, and always started collecting again,â&#x20AC;? Kirsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still enjoy mine.â&#x20AC;? Three close friends who love rock-abilly drafted Kirsch into a major project not long ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rating the top 1,000 rock-abilly singles, in order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all had different lists, with many of the same songs on each, in different places,â&#x20AC;? Kirsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My list, for instance, had five Elvis songs in the top 10.â&#x20AC;? That list included well-known names like Rick Nelson, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and others. It was also dotted with obscure acts Kirsch loves to discover through 45s, like Billy Barrix, Red Hot and Blue, The Saddletramps and Tommy and the Tom Toms. Here's The Kirsch Top 10.

signatures to put the initiatives on future ballots. The Port of Tacoma, Economic Development Board and the TacomaPierce County Chamber later won an injunction against the initiatives. The city was listed as a defendant in that action because the city clerk allowed the signature gathering to start but then filed a cross claim siding with their legal arguments against the legality of the initiatives themselves. The billing records show the city was processing the initiatives while also building legal arguments against them. The Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office filed a complaint against the port, EDB and Chamber in August, alleging their legal bills associated with their efforts to stop

the initiatives from reaching ballot boxes violated state campaign finance rules. The complaint states port officials violated campaign laws by using $45,000 in tax dollars to litigate against two ballot propositions and that the EDB and chamber failed to disclose their $10,000 in legal bills as campaign expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign disclosure laws demand transparency and accountability,â&#x20AC;? Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in an announcement concerning the complaint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washington elections, including the financial forces that drive them, will take place in the clear light of day.â&#x20AC;? A hearing has been set for Nov. 18.

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.

STOGIE’S CIGAR AND SPORTS LOUNGE Bringing the finer things in life to the South Sound

A formal grand opening event will be coming soon to Stogie’s, which is enjoying a bustling business already.

The Puyallup Tribe of Indians upped the ante in 2015 on options for going out the town with the opening of Stogie’s Cigar and Sports Lounge at 5402 Pacific Hwy., just off Interstate 5 at Exit 137 in Fife. Sept. 12 was the “soft opening” day and business has been booming ever since. A formal grand opening will be coming in 2016. The Puyallup Tribal Council established Stogie’s as an economic diversification and revenue source as well as enhanced entertainment, as it sits in proximity to the Emerald Queen Casino. Rather than build new from the ground up, the Tribe converted a former Mitzel’s restaurant into the high-end Stogie’s that features a décor of the utmost in taste and comfort, a full-service bar stocked with the finest spirits and a selection of nearly 30 top cigar brands, along with personal humidified lockers available to customers. Stogie’s hosted two major cigar events and its three tobacconists have Master Tobacconist License from the “Perdomo Factory” in Nicaragua.

The friendly staff at Stogie’s is at your service to make your experience there one that will have you coming back again and again.

Stogie’s is also becoming the go-to place to watch sports on any of the 30 large-screen TVs placed throughout the establishment. During Seahawks season, weekly events, like NFL Football Sundays, make for a fun way for fans to gather and cheer on the team. Sports fans also enjoy NBA nights, baseball starting in March and Seattle Sounders soccer matches. This summer, the outdoor area will host barbeques and live music in keeping with the Stogie’s ambience. The sophisticated lunch and dinner menus offer a delicious selection of appetizers and salads. With Stogie’s open to the public for just over four months now, the menus are being revised to focus more on the things that customers like the most. Everything is fresh and locally sourced, with salmon being a specialty. Guests love the Sunday Buffet Style Brunch and Taco Tuesdays, and ideas are being formulated to perhaps add a Military/Martini Monday and Service Industry Night on Sunday/Monday, as a lot of people in the service industry are off on Sundays

and Mondays and look for good bars where they can be waited on for a change. Plus, Stogie’s is one of the few places around anymore where smokers can sit back, relax and enjoy imbibing indoors rather than out on the sidewalk. A highlight of Stogie’s is that it attracts a clientele that reflects the diversity of the area. “Cigar culture is a very close and tightly knit culture,” says general manager Vicki Heckman. “It doesn’t matter what walk of life you’re in or who you are. If you’re a millionaire or lawyer, cop or construction worker, they’ve all got cigars in common.” Stogie’s is also showing itself to be a preferred meeting place to gather and network for local businessmen and women. If you want to take a business client to an upscale place in the South Sound, Stogie’s is it. With a work force of 26 employees, about half of whom are Native American, Stogie’s provides jobs for those who call the South Sound home as well as place where area residents can leave their hectic schedules in the rearview mirror.

NATIVE AMERICANS DO PAY TAXES Indian people pay taxes. They pay most of the same taxes non-Indians pay, and in some cases additional Tribal taxes as well. Indians have a few tax exemptions, just as non-Indians do. The Puyallup Tribe and its members are dramatic examples of these realities. Indian tribes collect taxes that are then sent to the appropriate taxing bodies. The Tribe withholds federal income tax from its employees (who include Puyallup Tribal members, other Indians, and non-Indians), and from the per capita payments it makes to its members.

As federal law provides, the Tribe sends that money to the I.R.S., a total of over $47 million in FY 2015. As an employer, the Tribe pays its share of payroll taxes and withholds payroll taxes from its employees, which is then sent to the Social Security Administration and other government agencies. Those taxes added up to over $20 million in FY 2015. Under the terms of agreements with the State of Washington and local governments, the Tribe collects and pays tax funds to those governments, including

about $11 million to the State of Washington, and over $300,000 to the City of Fife. Unlike all other governments, non-trust land owned by the Puyallup Tribal government is often subject to state and local property taxes. In 2015, the Puyallup Tribe paid over $575,000 dollars in property taxes to state and local governments. The total amount in taxes collected, withheld, or paid to the various governments by the Tribe in FY 2015 was approximately $80 million.

espite some new coaches and a host of new players, the Lincoln Abes’ football team is in the middle of a three-year stretch of championships that is the envy of the rest of Tacoma. After clinching their third consecutive league championship with a gutsy 14-3 victory over Bonney Lake, Lincoln fans have got to be hoping this whole “third time’s the charm” thing turns into reality for the Abes. Over the last three championship seasons, the Lincoln Abes are a combined 28-3. The last two seasons saw the Lincoln state championship hopes dashed in dramatic and heartbreaking fashion. Now as the Abes are on the doorstep of another playoff run, it looks like some daunting opponents lining up to possibly face Lincoln just over the horizon. However, the Abes are going to have to take care of business to possibly face the likes of Eastside Catholic and O’Dea, and that is exactly what they did against the Panthers of Bonney Lake. Of course, they waited until the fourth quarter to seal the deal and helped return the collective blood pressure at Lincoln Bowl to relatively normal levels.

It was raining cats and dogs prior to what was to be the 3A Pierce County Leauge (PCL) championship game. Just over a year ago, Bonney Lake faced the Abes at Lincoln Bowl in the first round of the 3A state football tournament. Under a constant deluge, the Panthers upset the undefeated Abes and some folks around these parts still haven’t forgotten it. The rain hammering down was not a good reminder, and a bad omen. So it looked like a bit of a blessing as the clock wound closer to kick-off on Friday, Oct. 21 at Lincoln Bowl and the torrential rain began to pitter away. The game would be played under normal conditions, with just a few raindrops here or there and winds at an acceptable strength. There would be no changing of the game plan due to the weather on this night, which was perfect as the matchup between the two teams had the makings of a slugfest or a barn burner. What the football fans got at Lincoln Bowl on this night was one strange game. Lincoln took the opening kick-off and began marching down the field. Once the Abes reached the Bonney Lake 10 yard line, they began stepping on their own feet. A holding penalty put them back to the 18 yard line. Lincoln nibbled back all the way to the three yard line before committing two con-

secutive illegal motion penalties with pushed them back to the 13 yard line. A missed opportunity on a wide open pass left the Abes with third and goal from the 13 yard line. On the next play, senior quarterback Joey Sinclair attempted to scramble out from under a heavy Bonney Lake rush and had the football knocked out of his hands. Lincoln was able to recover the ball all the way back on the Bonney Lake 31 yard line. A fourth down heave into the end-zone fell incomplete and the Lincoln scoring threat had been snuffed. It would prove to be the best opportunity they would see until midway through the fourth quarter. The two teams traded possession over and over again throughout the first half. The defensive pressure applied by both teams was leaving very little wriggle room for the offenses. By the time the scoreboard clock hit zeroes for halftime, the score was deadlocked at 0-0. Bonney Lake would open the second half with an impressive drive that began on their own 39 yard line. Helped along by two drive-extending penalties by Lincoln, both committed on third downs, the Panthers momentum finally stalled at the Lincoln 11 yard line and Bonney Lake had to settle for a field goal. The Panthers now led 3-0 with 7:35 u See lincoln / page A15

If your team has had a good year, late October is the time of the football season when league titles and playoff seedings are decided. The Washington Patriots and Franklin Pierce Cardinals met at Franklin Pierce Stadium on Friday, Oct. 21 in exactly that situation. Both teams play in the South Puget Sound League (SPSL) 2A Mountain Division, and this clash would decide the division winner. I saw the Cardinals in their season opener, and although they were not up to the task of defeating Tumwater that night, I did make the comment that their league opponents were going to have their hands full all season dealing with the Cardinals’ speed. Sure enough, Franklin Pierce came into this game as winners of six in a row. Washington was right behind them in the standings, having lost only one league game. It was a rare meeting between these two rivals with more on the line than just Helmet Bowl bragging rights. The rain was the star of the show in the first quarter, helping out the defenses and making things difficult for the offenses. Both teams had trouble finding their rhythm on offense, and when they did, the turnover bug struck. Franklin Pierce had a nice drive going that was thwarted when quarterback Willie Patterson threw an interception, and Washington quarterback Martin Mendiola returned the favor on their next possession. This turnover gave the Cardinals great field position at the Washington 27 yard line, and they were able to turn it into points on a 23-yard field goal by Cameron Bowdish. Almost on cue, the rain stopped when the second quarter started, and the Cardinals offense began to shine. Patterson hit Alex Bing on a 65-yard rainbow and suddenly Franklin Pierce was up by ten. The Patriots responded quickly when, after a

DESPITE WEEKEND SWEEP, LUTES DROP IN NATIONAL SOCCER POLL

The National Soccer Coaches Association of America unveiled its seventh installment of the NCAA Division III rankings on Tuesday, Oct. 25 with the Pacific Lutheran University women's soccer team sitting 23rd. The Northwest Conference leading Lutes (12-0-4, 9-0-3 NWC) remain the lone NWC institution in the poll, dropping three spots despite obliterating Linfield College and Lewis & Clark College over the weekend by a combined 10-0 score line. The top four remained static from a week ago with William Smith College (15-0) maintaining its stranglehold on the top spot. Williams College (13-0-1) is second followed by Trinity University (15-0) and Thomas More College (16-0-1). The College of New Jersey (14-0-1) rounds out the top five, climbing up two spots. Within the West Region, PLU sits fourth overall. Trinity holds down the No. 1 position followed by HardinSimmons University (14-1), and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges (12-0-2). The University of Puget Sound (11-2-3, 8-1-3 NWC) is the only other conference institution in the regional poll, holding down the No. 6 spot. Pacific Lutheran returns to the pitch on Saturday, Oct. 29 hosting Pacific University at 12 p.m.

LATE RALLY FALLS SHORT AS LUTES LOSE TO GEORGE FOX

Trailing late in the fourth, the Pacific Lutheran University football team took the ball down to the nine yard line with eight seconds left in the game but was unable to punch it through before time ran out, falling 22-18 to Northwest Conference rival George Fox University on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Stoffer Family Stadium. PLU (3-3, 2-2 NWC) started with the ball on the Bruins’ (3-3, 3-1 NWC) 27-yard line with 1:22 left in the game. While completing a pass, quarterback Jon Schaub was hit by a Bruin defender. Schaub was slow to get up, causing the official to call an injury timeout at eight seconds. The timeout was called for an offensive player, resulting in a 10 second runoff of the clock, causing an abrupt end to the game. Ethan McElderry shined early for PLU. McElderry scored the first touchdown of the game on a 22-yard scamper. The sophomore running back needed to dive to the corner of the end zone for the score and he got it. McElderry finished with 108 all-purpose yards and a touchdown. Ben Welch helped the Lutes get out to a two score lead with his first career receiving touchdown. Welch caught an 11-yard pass from Schaub, cutting his way into the end zone, giving the Lutes the early 12-0 lead. Welch finished with four catches for 31 yards. Schaub took a majority of the snaps for the Lutes. The senior was effective, going 22-for-34 for 204 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Cole Chandler played the second quarter at quarterback and was 4-for-7 for 38 yards through the air. Chandler ran seven times for 20 yards. The PLU defense was outstanding. They kept the Bruins off the field, forcing five punts and allowing George Fox to possess the football for a mere 25:13 of the 60 minute game. Carson Ketter led the defense with 14 tackles. Isaiah Watkins picked up seven tackles, including a sack. Cooper Murphy had four tackles and a forced fumble while Tanner Perry had 3 tackles and a sack. The Bruins didn't have a lead until the fourth quarter with 6:45 left in the game. Quarterback Grant Schroeder ran into the end zone from five yards out, capping off a 79-yard drive. After the an Uriel Gonzalez extra point, George Fox led 22-18 and hung on the rest of the way to pick up the win. PLU returns home Saturday, Oct. 29 for the Battle of the South Sound against the University of Puget Sound. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Sparks Stadium. – By Christian Bond, PLU Sports.

PLU MEN MOVE UP IN D-III NATIONAL GOLF RANKINGS

The Pacific Lutheran University men's golf team continues to climb the national rankings, rising four spots to 21st in the Golfstat NCAA Division III Poll released this week. The Lutes remain the lone Northwest Conference representative in the Top 25, ascending four spots after putting together a strong fall season. PLU competed in four tournaments this fall, winning the Lutes Invitational and the NWC Fall Classic while placing runner-up at the Whitman Invite and the Whitworth Invite. The top three nationally remains unchanged with Huntingdon College remaining the nation's top ranked team. University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is second followed by the University of Texas-Tyler. Rhodes College climbs one spot to fourth with Wittenberg University rounding out the top five. Pacific Lutheran is idle until late February, opening the spring slate on Feb. 26 with a dual against Saint Martin's University at the Salish Cliffs Golf Course in Shelton.

UPS’ FORTUNE EARNS SECOND NWC HONOR OF THE SEASON

Senior quarterback Hans Fortune earned his second Northwest Conference weekly award of the season, the league announced early this week. Fortune was named the NWC Offensive StudentAthlete of the Week after tying a school record with

LOGGERS TOP LEWIS & CLARK FOR HOMECOMING WIN

Three Loggers totaled at least 100 yards receiving and Hans Fortune threw for 562 yards and four touchdowns as the Puget Sound football team topped Lewis & Clark, 39-28, on Saturday, Oct. 22 in Baker Stadium during Homecoming Weekend. Brennan Schon finished with 155 yards on eight catches, and Steven Branham had the best game of his Logger career with 132 receiving yards on seven receptions. Dustin Harrison – who entered the weekend as the Northwest Conference's leader in receptions per game had nine catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. The Loggers (3-3, 1-3 NWC) put points on the board in their first possession of the game thanks to a 23-yard field goal by Michael Andris. However, the Pioneers (0-6, 0-4 NWC) proceeded to score 14 consecutive points. Schon made a ridiculous touchdown grab in the second quarter, leaping over the corner back and hauling in a four-yard score to make it a 14-10 game with 9:35 to play in the first half. The Logger defense then forced Lewis & Clark to punt, and it took just two minutes for Puget Sound to regain the lead. Fortune connected with Harrison for a 22-yard score that put the Loggers ahead, 17-14. The Loggers closed the first half with a touchdown, this time a five-yard reception by Schon, and carried a 24-14 advantage into the break. Puget Sound started the second half right where it left off in the first. It took just over minute for Fortune to hit Branham for a 54-yard score that gave the Loggers a 30-14 lead. Andris connected on a career-best 43-yard field goal in the third quarter, and Austin Wagner accounted for the Loggers' final touchdown with a five-yard rush in the fourth quarter. The Loggers look to defend the Totem Pole Trophy when they play at crosstown rival Pacific Lutheran on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 1 p.m. Last season, UPS topped the Lutes 6-2 in an epic battle in the mud and rain at Baker Stadium.

UPS INDUCTS FIVE INTO LOGGER ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME

Among the many memorable events during Homecoming Weekend, Puget Sound inducted five new members into the Puget Sound Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday, Oct. 21. 100 people attended the dinner in Wheelock Student Center, including several current and former coaches, student-athletes, and friends and family of the inductees. Puget Sound inducted three-time Cross Country AllAmerican Andrea Boitano Donovan (1994-98), Northwest Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year Kristina Goos France (1995-99), Cross Country National Champion Wanda Howlett (1989-1993), 12-time NWC Coach of the Year Randy Hanson, and Topps National Baseball Coach of the Year, the late Jack McGee (19651978), represented by former player Gary Thomsen. Puget Sound alumnus and former Tacoma Mayor Bill Baarsma served as the emcee. Puget Sound President Isiaah Crawford welcomed the inductees into the Puget Sound Athletics Hall of Fame. The four inductees in attendance for the weekend were also recognized during halftime of the Logger football team's win over Lewis & Clark. The Athletic Hall of Fame was rededicated in 1987 after a 10 year hiatus. The Hall's first inductees entered in 1966 and now number 108 members, and two teams, covering more than 90 years of Puget Sound's 128 year history and includes coaches and student-athletes involved in 16 different sports as well as members who are recognized for their contributions as administrators and community members.

LOGGER WOMEN TIE WITH PACIFIC FOR FIFTH OVERTIME MATCH THIS SEASON

Despite outshooting its opponent, 18-10, the Puget Sound women's soccer team finished in a scoreless draw with Pacific on Sunday, Oct. 23 on East Field at UPS. The Loggers (11-2-3, 8-1-3 NWC) eased into the match, before gaining energy about 15 minutes into the game. The home team went on to outshoot Pacific (6-7-3, 4-6-2 NWC) 11-2 in the first half, including a 4-1 edge in shots on goals. However, the two teams entered halftime scoreless. The second half was more even, with the Loggers pressing, and the Boxers running a counterattack fairly effectively. Yet the backline and goalkeeper of each team were able to keep the other side off the scoreboard, and after 90 minutes, the match moved into overtime. Pacific had the better of the play in the first overtime period, taking three shots, none of which were on goal. In the second 10-minute period, Puget Sound took control, taking two shots. However, once again, neither team was able to find the back of the net, and the game ended in a scoreless draw. The game was the fifth overtime game of the season for the Loggers. They recorded a shutout for the ninth time this year. Puget Sound outshot Pacific, 18-10, and also took more corner kicks (6-2). Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas (112-3) played all 110 minutes, making two saves. Grayson Williams-Krebs lead the squad with five shots, while both Val Reinhardt and Kendra Elderkin tallied three shots. Puget Sound's next match will be Saturday, Oct. 29, when the team hosts Willamette at 12 p.m.

TEAM SEATTLE EDGED LATE At SuPer Fight LeAgue 51

Saturday, Oct. 22 was fight night at the Emerald Queen Casino, and sixteen fighters would display the courage to put it all on the line and step into the cage as the EQC Showroom played host to Super Fight League America 51. The night would feature ferocious submissions and a surprising knockout late in the event. Kicking off the event was a preliminary bout between Seattle’s Jorge Gaitan and Tacoma’s Armando Best. Making his pro debut, Gaitan edged out a decision in a highly competitive and exciting duel. Up next was the start of the team challenge between the Central Valley Heat and the Seattle Warriors. In the team competi-

tion, teams of six fighters earn their team six points for each knockout, five points for each submission, four points for each TKO, and three points for each decision. In the first bout of the team challenge, rising star Nathan Stolen from Aberdeen represented the Seattle Warriors in a featherweight fight with Central Valley’s AJ Bryant from Highland, CA. Stolen entered the fight with a 3-0 record, with all three wins coming by knockout - all within the first two minutes - while Bryant entered 1-1. Early in the first round, Bryant wobbled Stolen with a head-kick, but Stolen quickly gathered himself and took over the fight. He was able to get ahold of Bryant and slam him to the ground, but Bryant worked his way back to his feet immediately. Stolen landed some clean shots

and once again got ahold of Bryant and executed a more effective body slam, gaining control of Bryant's back and going to work, using his strength to crank the neck of Bryant until he could to sink in a rear naked choke hold, earning a submission that gave him the most decisive victory of the night, and gave Team Seattle a 5-0 lead. “[Stolen] is one of the best fighters in his weight class and arguably one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the northwest.” said Henry Tyner, co-owner of Primal Combat, Stolen’s main apparel sponsor. “It’s only a matter of time before he gets a call from one of the major promotions and is headlining one of their cards.” In what proved to be the most exciting fight of the night, Enumclaw's Joey “Mama’s Boy” Pierotti of the Warriors took his 4-0 record to battle against 3-0 Las Vegas native Richard Brooks of the Heat in a clash of two undefeated welterweights. Brooks utilized a variety of strikes, including punches, elbows and dirty boxing to win the first round decisively, though Pierotti also had his moments, including a solid left hook at the end of the round. The second round got off to an awkward start, as Pierotti appeared to be attempting to touch gloves with Brooks, but was met instead with a punch to the face. Pierotti responded with a flurry of punches (a good percentage of which found their target), sending Brooks retreating up against the cage, where Pierotti continued to pepper him with a barrage of blows, sending the crowd into a frenzy and opening a significant cut above Brooks’ left eye. Though he displayed plenty of heart, Brooks was clearly out of gas in the third round, and Pierotti was able to take him to the ground before ending the fight with a series of punishing blows that eventually forced a referee stoppage, giving Pierotti a TKO win, and pushing the Team Seattle lead to 9-0. Up next on the card was the women’s matchup, with flyweights Liz Tracy of Vancouver and Christine Stanley of San Diego squaring off. Stanley would be looking to dig her team out of a nine point hole. Stanley was clearly looking to keep the fight off the ground in order to leverage her three-inch height advantage and accurate striking. Tracy was able to land a couple of takedowns, however, making round one too close to call. Tracy scored another takedown with 3:30 left in the second round and was able to achieve full mount with several arm-bar submission attempts. Tracy brought the fight to the ground once again in the third round and delivered damage to her opponent with a solid ground and pound game. At the end of the round, Stanley was able to scramble to her feet and both fighters exchanged solid punches to the face to send the fight to the judges, who scored it a majority

decision for Tracy, extending Team Seattle’s lead to 12-0. In the next fight, Mike Persons of Manteca, Cal. was able to cut the Heat’s deficit to 12-4 with a TKO win over Olympia’s Dylan Potter, getting on top early in the fight and pounding out the first win of the night for Central Valley, pushing his professional record to 8-3. The Central Valley needed another win in the next contest to keep the Warriors from clinching the match, and sent heavyweight Jordan Powell of Sacramento, Cal. into the ring to take on Jordan Currie of Post Falls, Idaho in the do-or-die bout. Currie looked on his way to a victory in the first round, gaining control of Powell’s back on two occasions and nearly sinking in a D’Arce choke. Powell turned the tables on Currie in the second round, attempting an acrobatic flying kick which, though he failed to land it, not only caught Currie off guard and allowed Powell to end up on top, but also gave the crowd a boost of energy. Powell showed excellent patience in the ground game, and, although Currie was able to reverse him, he was able to get back on top and position for an arm-bar to earn a submission win and cut the Heat’s deficit to 12-9 heading into the main event. The main event pitted Burien’s Brent “Mankill” Knopp against Las Vegas native Josh “The Hillbilly Heartthrob” Clark at a contract weight of 192 pounds, with Clark needing a stoppage to give Central Valley the win. As Knopp came out at the start of round one, Clark stunned him with a stiff one-two, but that didn’t prevent Knopp from marching forward and landing a takedown. Knopp wasn’t able to advance his position on the ground, however, and the referee eventually stood the fighters up. The round ended in a flurry, with both fighters swinging wildly and several strikes landing. Knopp came out swinging in round two, and ended up on top in a scramble, but once again was unable to take advantage. Clark eventually escaped to his feet where he immediately put Knopp away with three vicious connections to the face that sent him to the canvas and ended the fight with a knockout. The win improved Clark’s record to 10-3 and gave the Central Valley Heat a 15-12 come from behind victory in the team challenge. After the team competition, the crowd was treated to a bonus fight, as Nathan Thompson of Oroville fell to 5-4 in a unanimous decision at the hands of the relentless Anthony Zender of Tenino. Super Fight League will return to the Emerald Queen Casino on Saturday, Dec. 17. In boxing news, Mike Gavronski returns to the ring for Battle at the Boat 108 on Saturday, Nov. 19. Tickets are available at the EQC box office, as well as Ticketmaster.

long run by Xavier Alefaio, Mendiola ran it in from three yards out to narrow the score to 10-7. Patterson would account for all the offense with his legs on the next Franklin Pierce drive, running for 76 yards all in one shot, and then scoring from one yard out. He would add another 53 yard bomb to Bing and another one-yard scoring run in the quarter. Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mendiola scored again on a one yard run after a 77-yard punt return by Alijah Maddox, and when the smoke cleared from all the offensive fireworks, the Cardinals led 31-14 at the half. The story of the second half continued to be the offenses. Washington tried hard to close the gap but they never got closer than ten points. The speed and relentless attack of the Cardinals seemed to wear them down and Franklin Pierce cruised to a 24-point victory at 59-35. Washington scored first in the third quarter with Alefaio running it in from thirteen yards out. Patterson answered with an 11 yard run. Mendiola then hit paydirt on a 25-yard run, only to see Patterson and Bing hook up for the third time in the

game, this time from 46 yards out. The fourth quarter saw Washington score their final points on a sixyard run by Joshua Comacho, while Willie Patterson added his fourth and fifth rushing touchdowns of the night, to go along with three passing touchdowns, and an interception on defense for good measure. Franklin Pierce improved to 7-0 in league play and 7-1 overall on the season. The Patriots fell to 5-2 in the league and 6-2 overall. The win gives the Cardinals the SPSL 2A Mountain Division crown, while the loss dropped Washington to third in the division due to Fifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 57-15 win over Foster that same night. The Cardinals will travel to Lacey to face undefeated River Ridge (7-0), the champions of the SPSL Sound Division on Friday, Oct. 28. The winner of the game will earn the top seed from the SPSL to the 2A West Central District playoffs and will most likely host Bremerton (4-4). The loser will earn the second seed to the WCD playoffs and will host either Lindbergh (5-3) or Orting (4-4). Fife will battle Steilacoom for the third and fourth seed to the WCD playoffs. The winner will most likely host Olympic (4-4), while the loser will host either Washington or Eatonville (6-2).

remaining in the third quarter. The teams again traded possession with the Abes having to punt twice. Bonney Lake took over at their own 20 yard line with just a couple of minutes left in the third quarter. The Panthers drive not only extended down the field, but it crossed over into the fourth quarter and Bonney Lake was putting together a serious scoring threat. Facing fourth and seven from the Lincoln 17 yard line, Bonney Lake chose to go for it instead of risking a 34-yard field goal that would still only put them up six points, which could be quickly topped by a single Lincoln touchdown. Junior quarterback Kaeden Hammond dropped back and sent a quick pass toward the left sideline. Before it could reach a Bonney Lake receiver, Lincoln junior linebacker Teshawn Seu stepped in front of the pass, snared it in full stride and headed down the sideline with a head of steam. It looked as though Seu might get caught from behind, but the big defender was able to keep his foot on the gas pedal all the way to the end-zone for a Lincoln touchdown. Following a successful point after kick, the Abes now led 7-3 with 8:45 remaining in the game. Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense stepped up big on the next Bonney Lake possession and snuffed the Pantherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on four straight plays. The Abes would take over looking to put a nail in the

Pantherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffin and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to take long. Facing first down from their own 40 yard line, Sinclair faked a handoff to junior running back Tristian Kwon and bolted up the middle of the field. Once Sinclair found a little daylight, the speedster headed toward the sideline and it was a race to the end-zone. It looked as though Bonney Lake had Sinclair tackled inside the 10 yard line, but he was able to spin out of the defenders grasp and it was another Lincoln touchdown. A Bonney Lake fumble on the ensuing kick-off was recovered by senior defensive back Robert Griffin and Lincoln took over on the Bonney Lake 38 yard line. The Abe drive stalled quickly and Bonney Lake took over at their own 30 yard line with just under five minutes left in the ballgame. Five plays into the drive, Hammond was intercepted by Lincoln junior linebacker Alex Gillies and that would effectively be the final straw for Bonney Lake. Lincoln closes the regular season with a big rivalry game at Stadium on Friday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. The following weekend, the Abes will host the sixth place team from the Metro League. At the moment, it looks as though it could be either Roosevelt or Seattle Prep. Should the Abes win their opening playoff game, they will host the first-round state tournament game at Lincoln Bowl. If favorites win out before then, the Abes could face defending 3A state champion Eastside Catholic. Should the Abes get by the champs, they could next face top-ranked Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dea in Seattle for a quarterfinals matchup. Stadium will likely face Timberline on the road in their own playoff matchup next weekend.

A sellout, once rare, is now common sight. Fans line up at the gates to fill the ballpark each night. They come for a show and a show they do get. Always bigger and better. Who knows what to expect? They see hits and home runs, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a small part. Proudly displayed is Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big heart. Yes, Cheney Stadium is something to see...

Welcome home to

House Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to be.

Stop LNG Now!

KEEP TACOMA BEAUTIFUL Once upon a time, Tacoma had an ugly reputation for being a dirty city – even giving off its own smell that became notorious as “the aroma of Tacoma.” Adding to this, tourist traffic was low, crime was high and it seemed that Tacoma didn’t matter because Seattle was just a short drive away. This all changed in recent years, as Tacoma has made a stunning comeback and is now one of the most beautiful and livable cities on the west coast. Tacoma is back on the map and no one wants to return to those dark and dreary days.

PUYALLUP TRIBE: “NO LNG!” The extinction of salmon throughout Puget Sound is upon us.

Among the most ardent Tacoma boosters is the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, which has been a forward thinking and financially generous leader in keeping Tacoma beautiful. The Tribe’s active protection of this area’s pristine waters, the salmon and all natural resources has benefitted the entire region. The Tribe vigorously opposes the prospect of an LNG plant being sited in the metropolitan Tacoma area. Not only would the plant be placed right on the Tribe’s reservation, it would mar Tacoma’s great scenic beauty, put natural resources at risk and endanger the lives of everyone who lives and works here in the event of a catastrophic LNG accident.

A PLANT WITHOUT A CUSTOMER Pristine waterways next to an industrial complex such as LNG could cause an environmental disaster in the Puget Sound from which we may never recover.

Puget Sound Energy is in the final permitting stages of the proposed LNG plant even though at this point PSE lacks any customers for LNG. 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, but TOTE has since put those plans on hold, announcing in a news release that the company does not have an exact date for when it will retrofit its ships to use LNG. In other words, PSE wants to build a plant without a customer.

LNG PUTS AREA RESIDENTS IN JEOPARDY Also among its plans, PSE wants to form a for-profit subsidiary to handle the commercial sales of LNG to TOTE and other yet-to-be-determined customers while also storing the LNG for its utility customers to use during extreme weather conditions. Transporting LNG for local ratepayers presents the threat, and the inherent risks, of tanker trucks on our roadways and the potential for gas truck accidents in our neighborhoods or at the plant. Moreover, we would face potential risks to our health, the environment and our wallets for something PSE has yet to prove utility customers need. Thousands of oil train cars enter and leave the Port of Tacoma daily. A train derailment in the river would be catastrophic.

THE HISTORIC DANGERS OF LNG The construction of an LNG plant would require a large capacity natural gas pipeline to be constructed through the heart of the city of Fife, another booming city that lies right on the Interstate 5 corridor through Pierce County. This should deeply concern local residents considering historic on-site accidents that have occurred involving or related to LNG: r On Oct. 20, 1944 in Cleveland, 128 people died when an East Ohio Natural Gas Company’s LNG tank ruptured and exploded. LNG spilled into the city’s sewer system, vaporized and turned into a gas, which exploded and burned.

The I-5 corridor is well known for traffic congestion, which greatly increases the risk of toxic accidents on the highway.

A catastrophic LNG explosion would ignite the entire Port of Tacoma.

r On Oct. 6, 1979 in Lusby, MD a pump seal failed at the Cove Point LNG facility, which released natural gas vapors that settled into an electrical conduit. The gas vapors ignited when a worker switched off a circuit breaker, causing an explosion that killed one worker and severely injured another. r On Jan. 19, 2004 an explosion at Sonatrach LNG facility in Skikda, Algeria killed 27 people and injured 56. Three LNG trains were also destroyed. The massive hydrocarbon gas explosion was ignited when a steam boiler that was part of an LNG liquefaction train exploded near a propane and ethane refrigeration storage site. A report from a U.S. government inspection team cited that a leak of hydrocarbons from the liquefaction process initiated the domino effect of explosions. r On April 7, 2014 a “processing vessel” at a Williams Co. Inc. facility near the small town of Plymouth, Wash., exploded, spraying chunks of shrapnel as heavy as 250 pounds as far as 300 yards. The flying debris pierced the double walls of a 134-foot LNG tank on site, causing leaks. Five workers were injured, and local responders warned that vapors from the leaks could trigger a more devastating, second explosion. A county fire department spokesman said authorities were concerned a second blast could level a 0.75 mile “lethal zone” around the plant.

MIX-A-LOT’S BACK

SECTION B, PAGE 1

Rap legend talks tech, Nicki Minaj and rejected show offers

By Ernest A. Jasmin

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

acoma is gearing up for one of the biggest party weekends of the year; and who better to celebrate the run up to All Hallows Eve than Sir Mix-A-Lot (born Anthony Ray), who will headline the Landmark Convention Center’s Temple Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 29. Last week, we caught up with the man who put Northwest hip-hop on the map with “Posse on Broadway,” “My Hooptie” and “Baby Got Back” in the late ’80s and early ’90s. He provided insight into his biggest hit (it’s not just party song) and alluded to a project that may soon be coming to your TV screen. Here is part of that conversation. TACOMA WEEKLY: You appeared at U-Dub with Young Turks on Monday (Oct. 17), and I’m curious about what you talked about. (Show host) Cenk (Uyger) said you’d be talking about “Baby Got Back” as it related to body image or something like that. MIX-A-LOT: We talked about some of that. We talked about if that song could be re-released now what it would do, and we talked about a lot of politics, also. TW: What was the sentiment? MIX-A-LOT: I said I thought it would be considered “Sesame Street” in this climate. When I did that song, it was a lot more serious than a lot of people thought it was. The song is really talking about the lack of acceptance by Hollywood of the African-American body. I’m talking Serena Williams kind of curves. Back in that era, what they did with women of color was they either played prostitutes or maids. They were usually seriously overweight. They picked the worst example they could find cosmetically, and they’d throw that in front of us. I wanted to talk about it, and that’s what “Baby Got Back” is really about. Now, because that body is not only accepted, it’s expected, I’m not sure that the song would make the impact that it did in ‘92. TW: A few think pieces have been written about how what was previously seen as an African-American look has been co-opted and mainstreamed in a way by everything from the Kardashians to butt implants and that sort of thing. MIX-A-LOT: I say African-American body, but it’s really not. It was what the African-American culture saw as a beautiful body. That’s the better way of saying it, because I know so many white girls with curves and Coke bottle physiques. I guess “Miami Vice” is when the heroin chic look became popular. If you go back to the ‘50s – obviously, African-American wasn’t too prominent then – and look at people like Marilyn Monroe, and she had curves. I liked women when they looked like women. TW: So you did your part to break through that ’80s look. MIX-A-LOT: I know it did damage. Back in the day, we toured and we’d see girls who had beautiful bodies – a curvy, beautiful waistline. They all were wearing sweaters around their waist, and they would come up to me and say, “Man, about time. Thank you.” That was what the song was all about. Nowadays, it’s just a fun butt song. (He cracks up.) That’s cool. TW: On karaoke night, it’s become the go to song of drunk sorority girls everywhere. MIX-A-LOT: Oh yeah, karaoke. Every wedding has that “Baby Got Back” moment. … I love it. I don’t shun the song. I don’t get tired of singin’ it. Sometimes I do a 10-minute version depending on if the crowd is into it. TW: Since I last talked to you, Nicki Minaj sampled your song and had a big hit of her own (with “Anaconda.”) How did that come about? MIX-A-LOT: One day she called, and her and I talked about it, and there really wasn’t much I could say. She really had an idea of what she wanted. This is not some girl that just shows up when the song’s written. No, she was driving that project. The most beautiful part of it – the part that really woke me up – was the difference in the way I released records in the ’90s and the way she released this record in 2015. The difference was night and day. TW: How so? MIX-A-LOT: When you released a record in my era,

you finished the song. You’d go down to – in my case, at that time – to Warner Brothers with (producer) Rick Rubin, and we’d work the building and get everybody juiced up on it. They would go out, push it to radio and – quote unquote – set the record up. I brought that up to her. I said, “What are you gonna do to set the record up?” And she had this pause like, “Set the record up? What are you talkin’ about.” (He laughs heartily.) She just basically in a nice way told me, “Old man, just sit down and watch what happens.” I think it was Aug. 1, and every one of her followers – I don’t know, 10 million, 20 million – changed their image to hers. Everybody had the “Anaconda” photo and literally just pushed that record. I had never seen anything like that in my life. It was like who needs a record label when you have that kind of power? Incredible amount of power. I think my generation – the guys that came up when I came up – have a tendency to shun that, but not me. It allows the artist to go around the label definition of what you are. You can define yourself now. TW: Are you seeing more of a resurgence nationwide because younger kids are remembering you because of Nicki Minaj? MIX-A-LOT: Nothing’s changed. I was getting a lot of offers before. We did a run with Charmin, the Butterfinger ads back in the day, Target. We’ve worked with a lot of huge brands. We’re working on one now that I can’t say, and we’re working on a television show that I can’t (talk about.) I don’t know that “Anaconda” has changed anything other than the part where I actually say “my anaconda don’t want none” the crowd tends to react to that more now. TW: I was talking to Mike (aka Mix’s hype man, Mike Singleton, a.k.a. Outtasite) and he was saying there was a small spike after that clip of you performing with the Seattle Symphony went viral in 2014. MIX-A-LOT: Yeah, we saw more of a bump from that, actually, because there was something truly organic about it. I was actually not gonna do it, initially. I thought this is never gonna work because we didn’t have much of a rehearsal – probably 10 minutes the day of. TW: Wow! MIX-A-LOT: I was like, “Oh boy, this ain’t gonna end well.” (He cracks up.) But it ended up working. TW: I guess you can’t say much about the TV show you’re working on till the contracts are signed. But are we talking about a sitcom? A reality show? MIX-A-LOT: I’ve turned so much of that stuff down. If you sell your soul, man, you might make money; but

is it retirement money? You might not ever come back. So it’s semi-reality, but it’s not based on ignorance or “I hate spiders” and they’re gonna drop a spider on me in the shower. It’s none of that. It’s something I love. I’m a big technology guy. When I say technology, I don’t mean I invest and then walk away. I actually build stuff. I own my own CNC machine. I build my own amplifiers. I’ve been building switching power supplies forever. I’ve been doing that stuff, so it’s kind of in that vein. TW: You mentioned shows you’ve passed on. What are some of the projects you’ve turned down? MIX-A-LOT: Oh man, one show came at me. “We’re gonna put you in a house, right. You’re gonna have a bunch of girls with big butts, and they’re gonna compete with each other. You’ll have a line of jeans, and you’ll put the jeans out ...” Get the @#%@ outta here, man. Are you kiddin’ me? You can kill the song by saturating the market with a bunch of cheesy butt jokes and butt shows. … They may offer you money to do it, but I haven’t met a reality star from that era who has said, “Wow! That was a great experience.” TW: Yeah, you don’t hear much from Flavor Flav these days. MIX-A-LOT: I saw him (when) I was doing a show with Public Enemy out in Milwaukee last month. He’s doing alright. He’s back on the stage where he should be. TW: You’re coming down here for Halloween. So what are you dressing up as? MIX-A-LOT: You know what’s funny? I did something one year in Phoenix, Arizona, and it didn’t go over well. I said, “You guys wonder what my costume is. Hold on.” I turned my back on the audience, and I had this three-foot dildo in my pants. I whipped it out, and that didn’t go over well. (He laughs.) You could see some of the kids laugh, but some of the older people were like, “What the @#%@?” So I don’t know what I’m gonna do this year. I definitely don’t wanna be a clown. Clowns are gonna get shot.

BRIT FOLK-POPPERS CHAD AND JEREMY END TOURING WITH STOP IN TACOMA "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the British folk-pop duo best known as Chad & Jeremy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are done with life on the road. Five decades after they invaded our shores as part of the British Invasion, their final tour stop and possibly their final show ever - will take place on Sunday, Oct. 30, at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 901 N. J St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the travel, basically. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a killer,â&#x20AC;? Clyde explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been times on this tour where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been up at 4 in the morning to get to a flight and still find ourselves working at 12 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock at night because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still packing up stuff and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve signed a lot of stuff. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna happen again tomorrow. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not spring chickens any more. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that, mainly.â&#x20AC;? Another factor is Clydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day job. At home in London, he is equally known for his work in West End theatre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the English equivalent to Broadway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as he is for Chad & Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hits from the 1960s. He will begin work on a major production next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m known as Jeremy Clyde, the actor, over there; and over here Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;and Jeremy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Clyde joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not gonna be available for the next year and a half; and who knows what state weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in by then? So this probably is the last hurrah. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treating it as such.â&#x20AC;? Clyde and Stuart met while attending Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central School of Speech and Drama, and by 1962 they had formed a band called The Jerks. They scored a big hit with their first single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gone,â&#x20AC;? which was produced by composer John Barry, best known for his work scoring James Bond films. However, it was to be their last hit at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were becoming one-hit wonders,â&#x20AC;? Clyde recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we got a call from our publisher who said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not gonna believe this guys. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going up the charts in America. The problem is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going up the country charts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Then they found out that we were English and we had hair, and that was the end of that. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we crossed over and became fully paid up members of the British Invasion - through a fluke, really.â&#x20AC;? Not that they necessarily fit in with their peers. The duo had started out covering the likes of Peter, Paul & Mary, and they were square pegs next to the heavier British bands of that period, which had hit paydirt with a sound taht combined garage-rock, skittle and R & B. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta remember, the British Invasion was about a lot of beat groups, and

we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a beat group,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were always slightly out of place.â&#x20AC;? Still, they scored a string of hits in the States, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before and After,â&#x20AC;? their remake of Ann Ronellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willow Weep for Meâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Summer Song.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very lucky,â&#x20AC;? Clyde said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were at the right place at the right time. We were the right age. We were in London. Obviously, we knew most of the people who later turned out to be British Invasion people, as you would call them. We worked with them on all the TV shows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Hollies and all of them. We were on the scene, so to speak, at exactly the right time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the time all of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everybody â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thought that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get two years. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it, and then back to real life. To be able to look at an audience swaying and singing along to these songs, mouthing the words back at you 50 years later, is completely extraordinary. If you told us back then that this would be the case, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe you.â&#x20AC;? It is no accident that Clyde and Stuart are winding down their final tour at Immanuel Presbyterian, where Rev. Dave Brown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; founder of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blues Vespers series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has booked them before. The duo wanted to assist Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to raise money for Habitat for Humanity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great supporter, Dave, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lovely man,â&#x20AC;? Clyde said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen that, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be quite a party. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got people flying in. My sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming to film it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got friends coming in from England. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an extremely special evening, not like others - a quite emotional one, I suspect.â&#x20AC;? Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance will start at 7 p.m. There will be no cover charge, although donations will be collected to benefit Immanuel Presbyterianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission trip to build homes in Guatemala for Habitat for Humanity in 2018.

Pucciniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant opera about four young bohemian artists in Paris, the City of Light, is a timeless story about life, love and loss. This enduring tale of young love and tragic loss never gets old. Set in Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Latin Quarter, where gaiety and pathos live side-byside, the bittersweet romance of Rodolfo, the poet and Mimi, the seamstress, is timeless. Whether this will be your first opera or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it many times before, Pucciniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magic never fails to cast its entrancing spell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;La BohĂ¨meâ&#x20AC;? is based on â&#x20AC;&#x153;ScĂ¨nes de la vie de bohĂ¨meâ&#x20AC;? by Henri Murger. The world premiere performance was in Turin on Feb. 1, 1896 at the Teatro Regio, conducted by the young Arturo Toscanini. Its U.S. premiere took place the next year, 1897, in Los Angeles. Since then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;La BohĂ¨meâ&#x20AC;? has become part of the standard Italian opera repertory and is one of the most frequently performed operas worldwide.

For the first time in its 98-year history, Tacoma Little Theater is running a production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dracula.â&#x20AC;? The 1996 script, by Steven Dietz, hews closely to Bram Stokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original 1897 novel. TLTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the story is a well crafted piece of theatrical art in which splendid acting, sumptuous sets, moody lighting, brooding atmospherics and haunting sound effects all combine to pull the audience into an experience of a macabre, darkening world in which supernatural beings prey upon mortals and threaten to spread an epidemic of undead existence. TLT has resisted the temptation to do a campy, vampire farce and instead delves into the themes at the heart of Stokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original novel: the struggle to live a good life in the face of death or damnation and the incompatibility of light and darkness. Blake R. York gives us a set draped in red velvet and marked by gothic columns. There is plenty of dappled lighting, strange sounds and thick, rolling fog that casts a gloom throughout the theater. The story centers on old Count Draculaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to Victorian London in search of the vitality to be had amid the hustle and bustle of the busy metropolis. When strange and dangerous events begin to happen within the social circle of a doctor, a lawyer and their sweethearts, the members of the

group must unravel the mystery behind the events and fight the malevolent being that is at the center of it all. The star of the show is seasoned actor Joseph Grant in his role as Van Helsing, the original vampire fighter, who was in the business of slaying undead blood suckers decades before Buffy ever took on the mantle. The rest of the cast is also stellar in their various roles. Jacob Tice has been busily earning a reputation as a great actor in the local theaters. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Draculaâ&#x20AC;? he plays Johnathan Harker, the young lawyer who unwittingly aids Count Draculaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage to London and then ends up fighting against the old vampire in order to save his fiancĂŠ Mina. The latter is played by Jesse Morrow. Morrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portrayal of a would-be victim of the vampire is pivotal to the success of the TLT production. It is her believable depiction of a person struggling against the seductive power of the vampireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immortality that brings home what such a predicament would feel like: to remain living, human and loving or to have supernatural power and an unending existence. Minaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend, the voluptuous and indolent Lucy, is played by Brynn Garrett. Lucyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is dynamic. The audience must witness her complete transformation from bored, Victorian debutante to a full-blown vampire. Lucyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suitor, Doctor Seward, is played by Christopher Rocco. Seward is rather formal and straight-laced but eventually comes around to agreement with Van Helsingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dire diagnosis and the drastic measures that must then be taken.

The insane Renfield, servant of the dark lord Dracula, is portrayed with an engaging vitality by Brian Wayne Jansen. Dracula himself is played by Michael Christopher. While the role seems the least complex of all the main characters, Christopher nevertheless fills the Carpathian Count with due gravitas and striking stage presence. Director pug Bujeaud is to be commended for having assembled cast and crew for the creation of an enjoyable and engaging evening of theater. The story sparkles with any number of interesting facets. There is the theme of blood as the source of life, universal to creatures from the most humble to the most complex. There is Van Helsingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combination of scientific reason and religious faith as the means to combat the vampire. There is Count Draculaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration of the Carpathians, as a resilient, fighting people who have long occupied a place at a violent crossroads of history. There is the logic of the enlightenment against the mysteriousness of the Romantic Movement. The story is full of many such items. TLT augments the experience of the live drama with themed cocktails available in the lobby. For â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dracula,â&#x20AC;? the theater offers a drink called a Bloody Mina and another called a Bloody Bang Bang. The Oct. 29 matinee version of the show will be performed by TLTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Draculaâ&#x20AC;? runs through Nov. 6.

Last year, Junkyard Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billy Stoops released his debut solo album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dirt Angel.â&#x20AC;? And next week his musical partner, Leanne Trevalyan, will celebrate the release of her fourth, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angels & Muses,â&#x20AC;? as she headlines the Dome Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Pub on Thursday, Nov. 3. Recently, we caught up with the popular Tacoma singer-songwriter to get the lowdown. Personnel: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angels & Musesâ&#x20AC;? features Trevalynanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side band, the Trevalyan Triangle, with Peter Pendras on electric guitar, Barbra Blue on bass and Chris Leighton on drums. There are also guest appearances by Doug Franklin on trumpet, David Licastro on guitar, Christine Gunny on cello, Joe Doria on Hammond organ and Tod Lemkuhl on backing vocals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christine and I were in a band together back in the early to mid â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s,â&#x20AC;? Trevalyan recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t performed together at all in 25 or so years. So it was kind of nice to have her texture and sound on the recording. Tod Lemkuhl, who sang harmonies with me, we were in a group together back in Florida. That was back in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to reconnect with some musician friends that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with over the years.â&#x20AC;? Twangier territory: The songs Trevalyan has written since â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dandelion,â&#x20AC;? her previous solo disc, have skewed toward the twangier end of the roots spectrum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one came out more Americana than my previous solo recordings, just not by design,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I write songs and put out an album, I just put the songs together. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a specific planned mood or genre or feel, and they kind of take on a life of their own. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so immersed in it, especially since I produced the CDs myself. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m involved in the mixing and the mastering and all the editing. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a point where I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step back and really know what the music is supposed to be. But people always want to know what genre youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing or what your album would be classified as.â&#x20AC;? Collaborators: Also contributing to the album

are Nate Suggs and Peter Pendras. The latter cowrote two tracks, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Upon a Time Agoâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Off This Train.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of bluesier. The other one is more rootsy sounding,â&#x20AC;? Trevalyan says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to have another take on stuff. I tend to write a lot of ballads, and I love ballads. If I had my way, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do ballads 90 percent of the time. But people would probably be falling asleep at their chair or bar stool or whatever. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great writer, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been performing those two songs in particular anyway in my group. So I thought it would be nice to include those. It kind of rounds out the project, I feel.â&#x20AC;? Real life inspirations: In the beginning, â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Over Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;? seems to describe an airline flight back to her hometown; but the song actually draws inspiration from a video Trevalyan saw about a snowy owl named after the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The song is somewhat about this owl, but it could be about a person,â&#x20AC;? Trevalyan says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know how songs are. You can make of it what you want. But basically it was inspired by my mom and my hometown and this video I saw about this snowy owl.â&#x20AC;? Elsewhere, Tacoma fans will be more familiar with her imagery, as on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Moon Over Hanks,â&#x20AC;? which is set in a popular North End watering hole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was actually walking to Hanks which, as you know, is a block and a half from my house,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There happened to be a
