FREIGHT. An agreement between the City of Fife and the Port of Tacoma

clears a hurdle in efforts to improve truck traffic from the Port of Tacoma to Interstate 5.

AGREEMENT REACHED FOR FREIGHT ROUTE IMPROVEMENTS

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The Port of Tacoma and the City of Fife have entered an interlocal agreement that is the latest step in the development of a $50 million project that is meant to improve freight mobility and traffic flow from the tideflats to Interstate 5 by expanding capacity of the Port of Tacoma Road interchange.

“It can be congested at most times of the day,” POT Government Affairs

Manager Evette Mason said. “The bottleneck that is created there is very challenging.”

That congestion would only get worse quickly as truck traffic continues to grow and construction begins on nearby State Route 167.

The multi-phased project will improve the main access to the Port of Tacoma and the north Fife business district by creating a second ramp so that traffic will have one-way only routes to and u See FREIGHT / page A8

Tacoma’s f irst-ever program of offering businesses an amnesty on their unpaid taxes and licensing fees brought some otherwise uncollected dollars to city coffers and cleaned up the business tax rolls.

“Overall, it was a success,” Tax and License Division Manager Danielle Larson said during a study session on the topic. “It was a big undertaking, but I think there were several businesses that were about to take advantage of it.”

More than 2,700 businesses took part in the program by either registering their operations with the city or by bringing their tax bill current. u See AMNESTY / page A3

Tacoma Power has begun offering a way for its customers to invest in solar energy by starting Pierce County’s first community solar project.

The program seeks to provide customers with an easy way to participate in an affordable way to invest in solar energy by offering a 75-kilowatt project that doesn’t require home ownership, a load-bearing roof, or even the cost of installing solar panels.

Tacoma Power customers simply purchase solar units for $100 each and receive an annual incentive payment and payments for the electricity produced

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

So. 21st and Fawcett

Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it.

During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road.

In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts.

While that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma.

With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes.

Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com.

Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to TACOMA, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 4 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,� Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.�

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: s Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? s Does your bust line “bounce� when you walk while wearing your “everyday� bra? s Do you overflow the cup of your bra? s Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? s Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? s Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

1-800-254-3938 She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible. Although Chapman enjoys coming to this area, she is on the look-out for someone to train for the business.

INPUT SOUGHT ON OCCIDENTAL CLEANUP A new report detailing contamination and health concerns at the former Occidental Chemical Corporation site in the Tacoma tide flats will be used to evaluate potential cleanup strategies.

The Occidental site, at 605 Alexander Ave. in Tacoma, was used for industrial activities for decades and became contaminated with chlorine and chlorinated solvents, caustic soda, ammonia, calcium chloride and muriatic acid. Operations at the site stopped in 2002 and the remaining buildings were demolished. There have been several previous cleanups at the site, but a significant level of contamination remains.

The Washington Department of Ecology, which is overseeing the cleanup work, is seeking public comments on the report through Dec. 19, and will hold an initial public informational meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 28.

Public input on the report will be used in a 2016 feasibility study that will determine the final cleanup plan for the site.

The study reports and related material are available at: ¡ Ecology’s website at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/ hwtr/cleanupsites/Occidental/index.html ¡ Ecology’s Southwest Regional Office, 300 Desmond Dr. SW, Lacey; by appointment: (360) 407-6365 ¡ Citizens for a Healthy Bay, 535 Dock St., Suite 213, Tacoma; (253) 383-2429 ¡ Mary Rose Kobetich Library, 212 Browns Point Blvd.

KILMER ANNOUNCES GRANT TO EXPAND LINK On Oct. 26, Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA) announced that the city of Tacoma won a $15 million grant for the expansion of the Link light rail. Tacoma applied for and will receive a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) award to help expand the existing light rail line through the city. The Department of Transportation (DOT) oversees the TIGER grant program.

The TIGER grant will be used to support the doubling of the Tacoma Link streetcar line to 4 miles. The project is also expected to add an additional six stations along the new route and the stations will include measures to ensure pedestrian and bicycle access. Construction on the Link expansion is slated to start in 2017 or 2018. “This is a great day for Tacoma,� said Kilmer. “The continued expansion of light rail will better connect all corners of the city, help locals and visitors get around, and make Tacoma an even more vibrant place. Doubling the line will also help us attract new businesses and opportunities for growth throughout the city. Today, the federal government has teamed up with partners on the local level who have a clear vision of how to improve our region’s mass transit system and keep Tacoma – and its citizens – moving forward.�

First established in 2009, the TIGER Discretionary Grant program invests in local rail, road, and port projects with national significance. TIGER has provided more than $4.1 billion in investments around the United States. The DOT selects recipients of TIGER grants by evaluating hundreds of applications that seek to improve local infrastructure critical to transportation networks.

Earlier this year Kilmer sent a letter to DOT in support of the City of Tacoma’s TIGER grant application.

On September 14, 2015 Kilmer joined Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland and other local officials to announce a $2 million Federal Transit Administration grant for the Tacoma Link expansion. The grant went to Sound Transit and the city of Tacoma to help with improving economic opportunities in neighborhoods the rail line serves.

VETERANS DAY CELEBRATED IN PUYALLUP A gala community celebration of veterans and Veterans Day will be held on Sunday, Nov. 8 in Puyallup’s Pioneer Park Pavilion beginning at 1 p.m. There is no charge for this annual family event. The program is indoors and there is ample free parking.

Congressman Denny Heck will be the guest speaker, and the South Sound Symphonic Band, one of the area’s most accomplished ensembles, will play a variety of orchestral selections of traditional patriotic and classical band music.

Also speaking will be MA-1 (SW) Jennifer Aguilar, U.S. Navy, Bremerton, an active duty liaison to the “Honor Flight� program that flies veterans to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., and Alice Miller, a collector of original women’s military uniforms. Miller owns more than 140 uniforms that she collected from the service women who wore them. Among the items she will display will be a 1917 military nurses uniform. The Pavilion will be open at 11 a.m. for the public to see Miller’s collection and valuable displays of one-of-a-kind World War I, World War II and Vietnam War military memorabilia.

This event is Puyallup’s official observance of Veterans Day and is sponsored by the City, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion and Fleet Reserve Association.

REGION REDUCES WATER USE BY 12 PERCENT It’s getting more challenging to reduce water use, but people in Everett, Seattle and Tacoma are still meeting the region’s goal of cutting back by 10 percent.

Typically, reducing lawn watering is the most effective

way to cut back on water. But now that we’ve had cooler, wetter weather, lawns are rebounding on their own, and we need to find other ways to reduce water consumption.

Customers are still making great strides, and we thank them for their efforts. In the last 10 weeks, customers in the region have reduced their water use by 12 percent.

That’s down from previous reports showing 14 percent reductions, indicating that it’s getting more difficult for customers to reduce water use.

Until the fall rains hit, the cities are still looking for a 10 percent reduction in water use to be able to fill their reservoirs to provide enough water for people and fish.

In addition to assuring drinking water for people, SPU continues to provide beneficial flows for salmon, steelhead and trout to supplement lower-than-normal natural conditions in the Cedar and South Fork Tolt rivers, the water sources for Seattle’s regional water system. Chinook and sockeye salmon are spawning in the Cedar, and adult chinook salmon are spawning in the Tolt River. Juvenile steelhead and coho continue to rear in both rivers.

For Tacoma, so far in October about four inches of rain have fallen in the Green River Watershed. Tacoma Water has stopped relying on wells for its water supply and is back to taking water solely from the Green River.

However, Tacoma still needs to stretch water supplies in order to have enough for people and fish until the fall rains come.

Here are some steps that customers can take to reduce water use as the weather continues to cool. More watersaving tips and a graph illustrating the savings can be found at www.savingwater.org.

Indoor water-saving tips for residents: ¡ Reduce showering time ¡ Check for and fix leaks ¡ Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes ¡ Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving ¡ Don’t pre-rinse dishes ¡ If purchasing fixtures/equipment, choose water-efficient models Indoor water-saving tips for businesses: ¡ Encourage reduced showering times at your facilities ¡ Serve water only on request ¡ Check for and fix leaks ¡ Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes ¡ Provide new towels only on request ¡ Check cooling towers for overflow and excessive blowdown ¡ If purchasing fixtures/equipment, choose water-efficient models Unless conditions change significantly, the next round of regional water-use reduction results will be released in mid-November.

LOCAL RESIDENTS INVITED TO FREE BOOK LAUNCH Tacoma-area families can enjoy a free event on Nov. 7 to celebrate the release of “SHEroes of the Bible,� written

by Tacoma resident Lauren Nelson. The event will begin at 6 p.m. at Destiny City Church, 3102 S. 23rd St. in Tacoma, and will include a book signing, author introduction, raffle, opportunity to take photos with girls dressed as SHEroes, dessert and live worship. “This book is meant to empower girls to be bold, brave and heroic,� Nelson said. “Other children’s books focused on women of the Bible encourage girls to have Godly characteristics but don’t necessarily move them to take action in their world. I hope this launch event will inspire girls and their families to learn more about the amazing women in the Bible and discover how they can be SHEroes in the world today.� “SHEroes of the Bible� includes nine stories about 14 women in the Bible’s Old Testament who rose above their fears to answer God’s call on their lives. Through ethnically diverse illustrations and empowering stories, Nelson’s book shows children that God has a purpose for both girls and boys. Nelson is the mother of two young children and the wife of a pastor. She holds a bachelor’s degree in religion with a minor in anthropology from Pacific Lutheran University. She is an experienced foster care case manager and licenses foster homes in the Tacoma area. For more information about “SHEroes of the Bible� or to purchase the book, visit www.sheroesofthebible.com.

COUNTY COMPLETES ADA EVALUATION OF RAMPS, SIDEWALKS Nearly all sidewalks in unincorporated Pierce County are wide enough to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), while non-compliant curb ramps may be creating barriers to accessibility.

These findings are part of Pierce County’s “Americans with Disabilities Act Public Rights-of-Way SelfEvaluation Report.� The report details whether existing pedestrian facilities – such as sidewalks and curb ramps – located in the public right-of-way in unincorporated Pierce County are in compliance with the ADA. The report is now available for public review at www. piercecountywa.org/ADAtransition. Public comment will be accepted through Nov. 25, 2015. The public can request copies of the report and submit comments by phone at (253) 798-2288, email at daniel.hansen@co.pierce.wa.us, or by mail at Pierce County Public Works, Attn. Dan Hansen, 4301 S. Pine St., Tacoma, WA 98409. “The self-evaluation report and resulting public comments will be used to create a transition plan that will help Pierce County prioritize future projects to bring facilities into compliance,� said Brian D. Stacy, P.E., Pierce County Public Works county engineer. “We will also use ADA guidelines and standards to identify project locations with the highest need.�

The transition plan, which is expected to be completed in 2016, will guide the county when scheduling projects and requesting and allocating funding to complete the project list. Ultimately, all existing pedestrian facilities must be brought into compliance with ADA standards.

Pierce County was required, under Title II of the ADA 28 CFR 35.105, to perform a self-evaluation to identify whether pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way meet ADA requirements. Pierce County also reviewed existing policies and created new policies to ensure compliance with ADA standards for future road projects.

Between summer 2013 and spring 2015, staff from Pierce County Public Works conducted an inventory of pedestrian facilities including sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian crossings, and traffic signal systems to evaluate ADA compliance.

The report also includes feedback from the public on which types of sidewalk defects pose the biggest impact to accessibility, and which locations are most important for the public to be able to reach without barriers to accessibility, such as office buildings and bus stops. The feedback was gathered during four public meetings held in November 2014 and from an online survey. see mOre bulletin bOard items at tacOmaweekly.cOm

POLICE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MARIJUANA DISPENSARY ROBBER

By David Rose Correspondent

Pierce County Sheriff ’s detectives need your help to identify the suspect who used a knife during a robbery at a marijuana dispensary on Key Peninsula Highway North in Lakebay. The suspect entered DAVID ROSE KP Medicinals armed with a knife and a roofers-style hammer on Sept.

22. He held the knife to an employee and stole cash from the register.

“There aren't a lot of those marijuana dispensaries out there, but this one became a victim of this subject who went in and prepared to do some damage or hurt somebody if he didn't get what he wanted,” said Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer.

The suspect fled the business on foot heading south. He is white, approximately 5-feet 7-inches to 5-feet 8-inches tall, with a medium build and a raspy voice. The suspect was seen wearing green digital

POLICE BRIEF JURY CONVICTS MAIL THIEF A jury has convicted 35-yearold Earl Alvin Polley of 10 counts of identity theft in the first degree and one count of forgery for stealing victims’ checks, identification and mail. Polley is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 30, 2015 at 10 a.m. at the County-City Building in Tacoma.

“People who are victimized by identity thieves lose more than money,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “Victims lose security and time as well, which is why we are committed to holding the thieves fully accountable.”

On March 18 a woman called police because she found a backpack in her garage that contained checks, mail, and identification and social security cards. The checks belonged to different individuals and were made payable to Polley, her nephew. Police contacted the individuals and discovered that they were all victims of mail theft. In total, police collected 38 pieces of stolen personal documents.

camouflage pants, a dark blue hoodie, a black ski mask, bright blue latex gloves, and bright blue tennis shoes with neon green soles.

“By looking at how much this guy disguised himself, somebody would probably know who he was if they saw him. The fact that he had a hatchet and a full costume and a full cover up to go in there makes us believe he probably knows the area, is from that area,” said Troyer.

The suspect was carrying a digital camouflage backpack. “We're not going to be able to determine who this is unless we get a tip from the public. We're hoping we can get some information so we can get him taken off the streets,” added Troyer.

Crime Stoppers of Tacoma/Pierce County is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest. Call 1 (800) 222-TIPS or go to www.tpcrimestoppers.com to submit the information anonymously. This case will be featured on Washington’s Most Wanted Friday night at 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.

TOP STORIES ON tacomaweekly.com

From page A1

About 1,400 business licenses on file with the city were cleared from the books as old accounts because they had closed.

Over all, the city brought in $1 million in gross revenue, although it wrote off more than $900,000 in fines, penalties and delinquent accounts. That left a net revenue of $90,000.

The program formed as a way to provide businesses with a way to come current with their tax liabilities without formal legal action as well as clean up city records by removing past-due or closed accounts and to collect taxes that likely would have otherwise gone unpaid or only come through collections and legal action.

The amnesty allowed businesses to step forward and pay their back taxes and fees with the agreement that city tax collectors would only look back four years to determine their overall tax liability. Business owners who had a tax burden of more than $1,500 could pay their bill with partial payments over six months.

A half dozen businesses are using the payment plan, which will bring in an additional $30,000 if all payments are made in full.

The program waived late filing penalties and interest on tax and license accounts as well as waiving half of the civil penalties if accounts were paid on time. Now that the amnesty period is over, businesses that have back taxes on their books face a more formal – and legal – collections process. The first step will include official notice of those debts followed up by calls that will be farmed out to a collections agency.

The city also has a contract with MuniServices to focus on the discovery of yet more unregistered buisnesses and on reaching businesses that ignored previous notices or did not take advantage of the amnesty program.

“Now that we have given that opportunity, I know that we now go into that next phase,” City Councilmember Marty Campbell said.

Our View

VOTERS HAVE BIG CHOICES NEXT WEEK This year’s ballot includes a host of big items for voters to decide that could not only shape the face of their representation, but also change the economic climate in the city. Get out those ballots, fill them out and send them in before Nov. 3 so that your voice is heard.

The ballot is so full that it is difficult to decide which is the top issue that will gain the most interest and get fence-sitting voters to actually mail in their ballots.

Tacomans face a decision, for example, on what the minimum wage should be within the city limits.

Measure 1A, which is known as the $15 Now plan, would hike the minimum wage in the city from $9.47 to $15 on Jan. 1. A jump that steep, without any phasing in period or accounting for workers who gain much of their income from tips, is just too extreme for Tacoma and would cripple small business owners and nonprofits that work within slim margins. That economic hobbling would then hurt the very lowwage workers it wanted to help by leading to drops in jobs and tighter family budgets.

A more pragmatic approach that was forwarded by the City Council and endorsed by the TacomaPierce County Chamber is Measure 1B, an effort that would incrementally increase the minimum wage to $12 by 2018. Measure 1B would be more manageable for the small businesses that are the backbone of the city’s economy, but even that higherthan-the-state wage increase should be rejected.

Minimum wage issues are best solved at state and federal levels – or between the business and the workers they hire – rather than through a patchwork of initiatives in cities.

The city’s two road-improvement plans, Proposition 3 and Proposition A, are targeted, specific, reasonable and filled with accountability features so residents will know exactly how and when their tax dollars will be spent on this muchneeded issue. Tacoma deserves drivable streets.

Proposition 3 would add a 1.5 percent tax on utility bills for power, natural gas and phone service and a 20-cent-per-$1,000 in property value. Proposition A would add a one-10th of one percent to the city’s sales tax. Combined, they would cost the average family roughly $7.50 a month if approved. The taxes would sunset after 10 years and be monitored by an advisory group so people on the streets would be able to voice their thoughts on which streets should get repaired sooner rather than later.

Something needs to be done, and these propositions would do it. If we want our streets repaired, these packages would fund that work.

Measure 2 would change the city charter to expand the mayor’s rule to a Chief Executive Officer of the city, reduce the number of council members to seven and bring a host of other changes. The ballot wording has flaws that could result in residents losing their right to initiative and referendum. Language to correct the oversight could be added later and the concept of having a strong mayor has merit. Tacoma doesn’t lack for good ideas. It lacks clear leadership.

Good ideas get bogged down with too many people vying for the microphone. This change would create that leadership.

On the Tacoma City Council: Conor McCarthy’s stance on government and its role in shaping the economy deserves your vote for the council’s at-large Pos. 7, as does John Hines for his effort to unseat Anders Ibsen for the Pos. 1 seat to represent the Northend.

Keith Blocker is clearly a better candidate and would be a better council member than his opponent to replace outgoing Councilmember Lauren Walker, who is term limited out of running for reelection for the Hilltop seat of Pos. 3.

Voters in Pierce County will also decide on Referendum 2015-1, which asks residents if the county should end its quest to build a General Services Building at the site of the former Puget Sound Hospital. A vote of “yes” on the referendum repeals the Council’s previous authorization for the $230 million project. While consolidating county services into one building might make sense, too many financial questions remain to make this project a sound decision.

CORRECTION In the Oct. 23 City Life cover story “Hototo to make debut at Tacoma’s Jazzbones,” the name of video director Atuanya Priester was misspelled.

ProPoSitionS 3 And A will imProve every neighborhood

By Edwina Magrum, Eastside Resident Jeannie Mitchell, Northend Resident

We love our city. We love our neighborhoods, parks, and schools. We love our community centers and local business districts. We love everything about Tacoma except its streets and sidewalks. They are embarrassing.

The streets and sidewalks that connect us as a community are rapidly decaying. This depletion threatens the quality of life in our city and in our neighborhoods. This problem didn’t happen overnight and it won’t be fixed overnight. The problem has become so great that the only option is to provide additional funding that will be solely dedicated for the repair and maintenance of our local streets and

sidewalks. That is where we are. That is the reality.

This election, the people of Tacoma will have the opportunity to vote on Propositions 3 and A. These two measures will provide critical funding to repair our worst streets and finally begin to address the age and decay. This package has been carefully designed with input from a broad coalition of citizen, business, labor and community leaders. They have worked diligently for two years to create a package that is fair and balanced.

Together, Propositions 3 and A will cost the typical Tacoma household an additional $7.50 a month. We both know how hard Tacoma families work; we wouldn’t ask our neighbors to pay more if the problem could be addressed with existing funds. Anything that costs

less will do less.

These measures will lead to improvements in every neighborhood.

They will improve safety for all modes of travel and create more safe routes to schools. This is a responsible approach that gives us, the voters, the final say. Every year, progress reports will be delivered to the community to show us the work that is being done with our hard earned tax dollars. The taxes will expire after 10 years with voter approval required for any sort of renewal.

Kicking the can down the road will only make repairs cost more in the future. This is our chance to do better.

We implore our friends and neighbors to vote YES on Proposition 3 and APPROVE Proposition A. Together, we can fix Tacoma streets!

initiAtive 1 holdS big buSineSS AccountAble, giveS SmAll buSineSS A breAk

By Sarah Morken

Many people you know currently make less than $15 per hour. They are our child care providers, home care providers, janitors, retail workers and grocery clerks, phlebotomists, the people who handle our garbage at the sorting facility, the people who prepare and serve us food and beverages, life guards, bank tellers, secretaries, etc.

Many of them are one paycheck away from homelessness.

Initiative 1 would raise the minimum wage at the large businesses in Tacoma to $15 per hour at the earliest legal date. Small businesses would be exempt; they would have to pay the state minimum wage of $9.47 per hour. This is an opportunity to help our lowest paid workers begin to catch up with the cost of living in our city, while giving small businesses a break.

Tacoma’s economy is lackluster because too many of our workers are just scraping by, not being paid enough to sustain themselves. A consumerbased economy stagnates when most consumers have no extra money to spend or to save for future needs. If the powerful people from the Roosevelt era had included an automatic adjustment for inflation and productivity in the minimum wage, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. It is up to us to correct this.

Our taxes pay $153 billion annually

for public assistance programs that working families need to survive, due to socially irresponsible employers paying poverty level wages. Initiative 1b would relieve some pressure from our public assistance programs, freeing up money for investments in our future for things like green infrastructure and education.

For each 10 percent increase in the minimum wage, food stamp enrollment decreases 2.4 to 3.2 percent (West and Reich, 2014).

In response to Initiative 1, the Chamber of Commerce convinced the Mayor and City Council that Tacoma really does need to raise the minimum wage. They just don’t want to increase it enough to afford the cost of living. Their proposal, Initiative 1b, which would raise the minimum wage to $10.35 per hour in 2016, doesn't come close.

According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a full time worker must make at least $16.13 per hour to afford fair market rent on a one-bedroom apartment in Tacoma. If the minimum wage had kept pace with productivity since 1968 (when the value of minimum wage peaked) it would be $21.72 (Center for Economic Policy Research, Schmitt, 2012). Hence $15 per hour is a modest demand.

Look around at Tacoma. Do things look right to you? There are shiny museums that many Tacomans can only afford to visit once a month on free night. Look at all the foreclosed, vacant

homes and homes in disrepair. See all of the empty commercial spaces, and businesses here today and gone tomorrow. This is what happens when workers are not paid enough to go to a restaurant, pay their mortgage, maintain their home, or even start up their own small business on the side. Shouldn’t we make a substantial change? Initiative 1 would be a substantial change that would take some economic pressure off of our lowest paid workers, who are primarily women and people of color, helping them to flourish.

The opposition warns that Initiative 1 would cause harm to our economy and even to workers. Fortunately, the reputable studies on minimum wage increases (even higher increases than Initiative 1) show no significant negative effects on workers, businesses, inflation, etc. (Reich, Bernhardt, Perry, Jacobs, 2015).

Big business, Wall Street and free trade agreements like NAFTA have caused more small business closures and job outsourcing than any increase in the minimum wage. The notion that the poor must stay poor in order to avoid negative consequences for everyone is absurd and we must get past it.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, My name is Anjel Jordan. I am a 6th grade student at Destiny Charter Middle School. I am writing this letter because I believe my charter school is an extremely important place and I want our elected officials to support it and other charter schools.

One reason why my school is a great place to learn is because Destiny prepares you for college, career and life. To back this all up is that all the teachers push us to the next level.

When we are stuck in a class, like math, my teacher will give us the same type of skill, but in a different form that makes it easier to understand. We can learn so much if you give us a chance to have our voices heard.

Please help me, my family, my teachers and our whole school by supporting charter schools. The students at Destiny Charter Middle School can’t vote, but you can.

Anjel Jordan Tacoma, WA Dear Editor, A particularly crass piece of paper landed in mailboxes today, attacking Tom McCarthy's "seriousness" as a candidate for Tacoma City Council. His "numerous arrests" were nothing more than harassment for exercising his right to question the Iraq war. History has shown it was right to do so and that activism has suffered greatly since 9/11. Tom has a vision for Tacoma as a worthy destination in itself, and to shed its inferiority complex in the marketplace, something the business lobby keeps telling us it wants. The hit piece was paid for by a well-known business PAC closely associated with the Chamber of Commerce, who apparently feels threatened by anyone "acting up" like Tom. It has all the bullying sound of a gang threat.

Toss it in the trash where it belongs. We can do better than remain an economic backwater to Seattle. Tacoma is a diamond in the rough. Tom has the passion to help us bring out the brilliance of every facet.

Richard Yasger Tacoma, WA Dear Editor, I support the re-election of Anders Ibsen for the District 1 position on Tacoma City Council. One reason is that he has earned a reputation as someone who is very responsive to constituents. It does not take him long to respond to phone messages or e-mails. That is an important characteristic to have in a local elected official.

Most of the council members have endorsed the challenger in the race, John Hines. Tacoma/Pierce County Chamber of Commerce has spent significant amounts of money opposing Ibsen in this campaign. Hines had been running for an at-large seat on the council before abruptly changing his mind at the last minute and filing against Ibsen. I find this troubling, as it suggests a behind-the-scenes effort to have Hines remove Ibsen. Typical Tacoma politics. I am voting for who I want to represent me at city hall, not who the chamber or other council members want.

John Larson Tacoma, WA

Dear Editor, The question for the voters next month is "do we vote no in favor of, or vote yes to reject, the starting bid of $230,000,000 for the proposed new offices for the benefit of county employees?" $230,000,000 is the starting point. By the time the final cost are calculated, you can expect costs to climb steeply from here.

As taxpayers we can handle the truth. What we cannot tolerate is half truths. Tell us in the voters’ pamphlet that after cost overruns, delays and other factors, cost could double. We would be okay with the full truth.

Steve Whittier Gig Harbor, WA Dear Editor, Sitting in Tacoma at my daughter’s home, up before the family and reading the news, I find out it is Global Poverty Day. I know there is something I can do about ending poverty at home and in our world. I know this because poverty has been cut in half in our world already in the last 25 years. I know because there is hope through democracy.

First, in America there are the Earned Income Tax Credits and the Child Tax Credit. These two tax credits have lifted 9.4 million people out of poverty in 2013, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (cbpp.org). The Center says it also cuts dependence on welfare, while children in families that receive these tax credits are more successful in school, go to college, and even earn more as adults. These tax credits need to be extended and expanded. Our role in this is to ask our senators and representatives to pass legislation that does just that.

On a global level there is hope to finally end the unnecessary deaths of women and children. These deaths have been cut in half over the last 15 years. Yet 16,000 children under five still die every day from treatable illnesses like pneumonia, measles and dehydration. Over 800 mothers die each day due to pregnancy-related causes. But there is hope: The Reach Every Mother and Child Act of 2015 (H.R. 3706) was introduced in the House this month by Washington’s own Dave Reichert and is co-sponsored by eight other members of the house including Congressman Jim McDermott. The bill was introduced in the Senate (S. 1911) last summer by Senator Susan Collins from Maine and is co-sponsored by five other Senators, including Washington's Senator Patty Murray. This bill targets ending these preventable deaths and reforms our developmental aid agency, USAID, making it more efficient and transparent.

Yet this bipartisan bill still needs our voices to move it out of committee and pass it into law. Calls and letters from voters move this process forward. Once again, that is us.

The newly released United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number one is to “End poverty in all its forms everywhere.”

This is possible based on what we have done so far. Using our voices, we can make a difference and do our part to end poverty in our lifetime. So, let’s thank Senator Murray and Congressman Reichert for their work on this and ask our other elected representatives to join them in this life-saving work.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES FROM THE FLU LEARN, GET RESOURCES TO STAY FLU FREE IN THE 253

It’s more than a bad cold. Protect yourself, your loved ones and those around you. Get your flu shot today.

Learn more about how you can stay flu free in the 253 at www.tpchd.org/flu.

Last flu season was the most severe since health officials have tracked the disease’s local impact. In Pierce County, a record 25 people experienced a flu-related death between October 2014 and May 2015. People over 65 accounted for the majority of the hospitalizations and deaths, but one child also died from flu-related causes.

During the H1N1 pandemic in 2009, 13 people died from flu-related causes.

Paired with pneumonia, it’s one of the top 10 killers in the United States, where between 3,000 to 50,000 people die and 200,000 people are hospitalized. “Flu is an especially serious illness for the very young, the elderly, and people who have other health conditions like diabetes, asthma, heart disease or pregnant women,� said Denise Stinson, public health nurse with Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. “But healthy, younger people can also become quite sick with the flu, and sometimes, they die from it.�

Stinson warns that some flu seasons are worse than others, and it’s not possible to predict the severity of a flu season. “What we can predict is that the flu will come,� she said. “We are already seeing a few cases, so it’s time to get ready.�

Stinson urges people to get their flu shot now and remember some simple prevention steps.

• Trivalent – Protects against two influenza A and 1 influenza B viruses. • Quadrivalent – Protects against two flu A and two flu B viruses. • Nasal spray, live-attenuated vaccine – (FluMistŽ) – For healthy, non-pregnant people age 2-49. • Recombinant (RIV3, FluBlokŽ) – Egg free vaccine licensed for people over age 18. • Intradermal vaccine (Fluzone IntradermalŽ) – A very short needle delivers a small amount of vaccine just under the skin. • High Dose (Fluzone High-DoseŽ) – For people age 65 and older, it has four times the amount of antigen as standard dose and may offer better protection for seniors.

Just for Kids Getting a flu vaccine is always more effective than not getting one. The flu vaccine works best in children and healthy people. That means if more kids and healthy people get vaccinated, we boost community immunity and help protect our seniors, babies, and people with health problems.

The Health Department ensures many children receive the flu vaccine through school-based clinics. By mid-November, Department, in partnership with the Pierce County Medical Reserve Corps, will have helped to vaccinate 2,500 children at 31 clinics in five Pierce County school districts.

Flu vaccine for children is also available

Who should get the flu shot?

Everyone over the age of six months should get vaccinated against flu every season, except people who have had a very severe reaction to flu vaccine in the past.

Each year, the flu vaccine is formulated to best match the strains that are predicted to be circulating. This season, a new influenza Lifetime Massage Therapy A strain and a new influenza B strain are repre5213 Pacific Ave sented in the vaccine.

1310 Union St Children under age nine (253) 474-1234 need to get two flu vaccines if they haven’t had a total of two flu vacNow offering cines in their lifetime.

Prevent the Spread of Flu Flu spreads fast at school, so immunizing school kids protects their families, too. People of all ages should follow these simple steps to prevent the flu from spreading at home, work, school or play: • Keep your hands clean. Flu viruses can live up to 24 hours on hard surfaces that you might touch. Wash your hands often with soap and warm water, scrubbing for 20 seconds. When soap and water aren’t available, use alcohol hand sanitizer. • Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use your elbow to cover. • Stay home when you’re sick. You’ll recover faster, and you’re less likely to make others sick. Droplets from your coughs and sneezes can travel up to six feet. Germs on your hands can contaminate surfaces you touch.

CITIZENS FOR A HEALTHY BAY CELEBRATES 25 YEARS Citizens FOr a HealtH Bay’s 25tH anniversary CeleBratiOn will Be Held FrOm 5:30-7:30 p.m. On nOv. 5 at tHe COurtyard marriOtt. tiCkets are $35 and availaBle tHrOugH HealtHyBay.Org.

Commencement Bay was making national headlines in the late 1980s as one of the most contaminated waterways in the nation. The non-profit Citizens for a Healthy Bay came together in 1990 to work on cleanup efforts and monitor water quality throughout the process.

CHB formed to represent the people of Tacoma in the Superfund cleanup of Commencement Bay, which was then one of the most polluted bodies of water in the entire country. The pollution came from more than a century of industrial discharge and contaminated runoff from residential, industrial and commercial properties that had created spots in the bay that were so toxic, they were essentially “dead zones,� where almost no life could survive. An investigation into the bay’s pollution found 70 chemicals of concern in the water that had come from over 150 sources. Top among those sources was the former Asaco smelter.

The bay is significantly cleaner today thanks to the group’s work to push for timely, effective cleanups, and these waters are decades ahead other waterways that were listed on the Superfund registry at the same time. Seven of the eight sites originally listed on the Superfund list have either been cleaned up or are well into the cleanup process.

The Occidental Chemical Co. site is the last holdout on the Superfund registry and contains some particularly nasty chemicals to clean up. The cleanup site is much larger than the actual footprint on the Hylebos Waterway and contains chemicals that are volatile and so acidic

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. Citizens for a Healthy Bay formed in 1990 as a way for concerned citizens to play an active

role in the environmental cleanup of Commencement Bay, which contained some of the most contaminated sites on the national Superfund registry.

that they have dissolved rock. “It is highly toxic and highly concerning and we have to figure out how to clean that up,� said CHB Executive Director Melissa Malott. “That process is just starting.�

Focusing on the work yet to do, however, won’t stop the group from celebrating the efforts it has made in the last two and a half decades. A 25th anniversary celebration will be held at 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Nov. 5 at the Courtyard Marriott. And CHB’s efforts have been extensive.

The group’s habitat restoration program, for example, restored more than 225 acres in Commencement Bay, generated 14,438 of volunteer hours by 3,308 people to help with the restoration, which has an in-kind value of $334,123. CHB’s Bay Patrol covers 1,400 miles in bi-weekly patrols each year, identifying potential pollution sources, including derelict vessels. So

far this year, the watchdog effort has tracked 17 potentially derelict vessels, four of which have been removed from the water with two others being placed in appropriate moorage facilities rather than continue to threaten salmon runs and aquatic life.

Those efforts will continue, but with the start of cleanup of the final Superfund site and ongoing monitors in place, Citizens for a Healthy Bay will start branching out by targeting pollution upstream from the bay itself. Broadening the focus to upstream pollution causers and the global issues of climate change, however, will require an added push to engage more volunteers and partnerships with other environmental groups. “We have a lot of work to do to clean up the pollution we cause,� Malott said, noting that stormwater runoff from around the region flows into the bay, so ending

that pollution at the source benefits the region as well as Commencement Bay directly.

There are also new threats to the waterway that CHB volunteers monitor and testify against as proposals for industrial developments come to light.

One project on the group’s watch list is a gas-to-methanol plant that has been proposed on the tideflats. Northwest Innovation Works has proposed the construction of a $3.4 billion plant on the Blair Waterway. Construction could begin as soon as 2016 and begin operations in 2020. Methanol from the plant would then be transported by ship to Asia, to be used in the manufacture of plastics.

Methanol is a colorless, flammable, volatile liquid when it is at room temperature. It is a known toxin that can lead to blindness and damage to u See CELEBRATE / page A7

40,000 BOOKS GATHERED IN FIFE TO BE DONATED TO KIDS IN NEED

By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

Books are the building blocks of imagination and companies like the Molina Foundation are dedicated to making sure kids have all the tools they need to dive deep into the world of literature. The nonprofit recently teamed up with World Vision in Fife to donate around 40,000 books to various groups around the state with the intention of getting them into children’s hands through its Book Buddies program.

“This is our signature program where we provide brand new books to other nonprofits, schools and health providers that work in low income, high risk areas. We are so thankful to be here, distributing just about 38,000 books to 40 different organizations that work from Spokane to Vancouver. It’s statewide. Through generous donations of books, we’re able to reach thousands and thousands of children,” Molina distribution coordinator Dawn Bayer said.

The organizations all gathered at the Fife World Vision center on Oct. 21 to receive several boxes of books for their respective groups. Molina has partnered with not only World Vision to help store and distribute the books, but also with its sister non-profit Molina Healthcare.

“We love partnering with folks like this because they do so much in the community and they care so much about the community,” Bayer said. “We rely heavily on our partnerships like Molina Healthcare and World Vision to be able to come to the different states, and have warehouse space provided and identify groups in need.”

The Book Buddies program is meant to provide a word-rich environment for children across the nation.

BOOK BUDDIES. World Vision employee Jose Baren helps load some of the donated books into a van that will carry them to kids in need.

“We really feel that there is still a high need in literacy risk out there. There are still a lot of children that don’t have books at home and we feel that in order for children to become good readers and literate, they need a word-rich environment,” Bayer said.

“The only way for them to have a word-rich environment is to have books at home to read and parents talking to them.”

The groups came from all across the state and included everything from various Boys and Girls Clubs to schools . Books were of all shapes and sizes and a majority were in either Spanish or English. Many were intended for small children – hardcover, big books that could conceivably be well worn by tiny hands.

One of the groups picking up books was the Boys and Girls Club of Bellevue, where books are an integral part of their programs for young children.

“Every day, kids do an hour of reading.

It’s a huge component of our programs,” Boys and Girls club volunteer Alex Sloan said.

Sloan’s fellow volunteer, Theresa

Dockerty, understands that these books are essential for children in the program to succeed in the future.

“It helps them focus on building those essential skills that will help them be successful,” Dockerty said.

According to Molina, in some of the lowest-income neighborhoods in the country there is only one book available for every 300 children. Compounding lack of access to books, studies show that children from low-income families have heard 30 million fewer words than their upper income counterparts by the time they reach kindergarten – creating a significant disparity at such a young age.

For more information on the Molina Foundation, visit www.molinafoundation. org. The company’s goal is to reduce disparities in access to education and health. Since its inception in 2004, the Molina Foundation has worked hand-inhand with more than 1,500 organizations and schools toward this end, donating more than 3 million books to low-income and at-risk children and families.

the central nervous system at high doses. But the biggest environmental concern regarding methanol is that it is explosive as a vapor and burns with a flame that is nearly invisible in daylight. The conversion of natural gas to methanol also requires a large amount of electricity, enough for 320,000 households, before it is piped to storage tanks. The plant will also use a large amount of water, a factor equally concerning to CHB members.

“Perhaps the most concerning aspect of the proposed methanol plant relates to its extreme water requirements,” according to CHB statements. “The plant will use an estimated 10,000 gallons of fresh water per minute – 5.2 billion gallons per year – at full operation; an amount nearly equal to all residential water usage in the City of Tacoma. About 90 percent of water used by the facility will be lost during the process or released as steam, while the remaining spent cooling water will need to be processed as wastewater.

Doubling the city’s water demands is particularly concerning given the current drought and likely drier future due to our changing climate.

“Washington’s current water deficit has caused the City of Tacoma to call upon its citizens to lower their water usage by 10 percent. A low snowpack has been forecast again for 2016, a reality which will have serious implications for Tacoma’s chief water source, the Green River. This watershed is relied upon not only by the city, but by threatened Chinook salmon and many other wildlife. Substantially lowering water levels in order to supply water for methanol production could have disastrous ecological consequences.”

The agreement allows Fife to sell three right-of-way parcels at the intersection for about $200,000 to help fund the project while the port will contribute up to $1.5 million to the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past decade, the Port of Tacoma experienced strong growth in containerized cargo, adding nearly 2 million tons of international containerized cargo and fueling over 1,800 direct jobs at Port marine terminals,â&#x20AC;? according to the staff report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A significant portion of this cargo enters

and exits the Port area via the Port of Tacoma/Interstate 5 Interchange. This principle interchange provides access to numerous businesses and port terminals, and is a critical transportation link supporting the local and regional economy.â&#x20AC;?

The commission unanimously approved the deal last Thursday.

The construction of the new ramp and the associated roadwork along Port of Tacoma and East 34th will come in three phases and start in 2017. Phase 1 will add a new

southbound exit ramp on I-5, connecting at a new intersection at Pacific Highway East and 34th Avenue East. Phase 2, which will come simultaneously, will extend the new southbound exit ramp to a new southbound on ramp to I-5. Phase 3 will then consist of a new bridge over I-5, new northbound off and on-ramps, and improvements to 20th Street East. It is set to start in 2019.

Once the work is done in 2021, Port of Tacoma Road from 12th Street East to Pacific Highway will be made one-way southbound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really will help out a whole lot,â&#x20AC;? Fife Public Works Director Russ Blount said.

The project is just $10 million short of being fully funded. The project is also likely to receive $7 million from the Transportation Improvement Board later this fall, so the funding gap will likely be just $3 million. The interlocal agreement closes that gap since the port and Fife agree to split the remaining costs.

Work wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there, however. One project on the table would be to connect the 34th Avenue directly to State Route 509, which would streamline traffic even further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I view that as really critical,â&#x20AC;? said Port Commissioner Dick Marzano.

from the project. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit like a solar cooperative where the money is pooled to build solar panels and each of the co-op members share in the proceeds. Projections forecast the initial investment will be paid back after four years.

The solar panels will cost between $290,000 and $340,000 to install early next year and will be located on a warehouse owned by Tacoma Power. Power generated by the panels will feed into the utilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power grid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tacoma Power, along with many other regional utilities, will build a community solar project to help customers take advantage of state incentives,â&#x20AC;? according to Tacoma Public Utilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tacoma Power has a long history of renewable electricity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of the power we produce is renewable hydropower.

Nearly all of the power we purchase from the Bonneville Power Administration is renewable as well. Community solar is one more form of renewable energy to add to our extensive portfolio.â&#x20AC;?

Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solar energy incentive is scheduled to end in 2020.

of these families have gone through or are currently going through. We have 120 years of not just changing one family at a time but changing the community. If you can help one parent break the cycle of abuse or whatever it is they have experienced, then in turn their children have a new experience, a new story, and that makes a lasting change for generations to come.â&#x20AC;?

HopeSparks was born in 1895 as Associated Charities to address the basic needs of families in Pierce County. In 1921, the name changed to the Family Welfare Association and worked primarily with single mothers abandoned or widowed by war. Later during World War II, efforts shifted to the growing problem of child abuse and neglect in Tacoma. In 1967, Family Welfare Association became Family Counseling Service for low-income children and families in Tacoma and throughout Pierce County and this continued for 30 years until, in 1997, Family Counseling Service merged with the Child Guidance Clinic and was renamed the Child and Family Guidance Center. This, in turn, merged with the Tacoma Learning Center, an early childhood education program that complemented the Child and Family Guidance Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family-focused programs and allowed for a more targeted mission of strengthening families. In 2008, the Child and Family Guidance Center became HopeSparks in order to reflect the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing development and all the services it offers. The image of a butterfly was incorporated into the new branding to represent the idea of lasting change for families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a symbol of the hard work that goes into becoming the butterfly and that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no going back to being a caterpillar after you become a butterfly,â&#x20AC;? Holden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our culture here with our team and the families we serve is that we know the families have to do the hard work and we just want to be here to be a safe place where they can find the tools and form the relationships that help them be successful.â&#x20AC;?

Holden emphasized that HopeSparks works with all families and welcomes samesex couples and LGBTQ children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are inclusive, welcoming and safe,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that HopeSparks recently started a partnership with Oasis Youth Center and The Rainbow Center in Tacoma, which offers a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ youth to be proud of who they are with the encouragement they need to become healthy, productive and fully participating members of the community.

In 2013,Tacoma Learning Center changed its name to Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Developmental Services allowing for new vision and strategies for growth. That same year HopeSparks opened an office in Puyallup and, with the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Developmental Services office housed at Tacoma Community College, HopeSparks expanded its reach to three locations in Pierce County.

Today HopeSparks comprises five core behavioral health programs that serve children and

families in Pierce County who face trauma, abuse and overwhelming life challenges.

During 2014, HopeSparks served nearly 3,800 children and families, providing more than 27,000 family sessions and home visits agency-wide.

Programs offered include: s Healing Hearts Counseling to provide crucial, preventive and accessible mental health care for children, teens, adults, couples and families in Pierce County; s Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Developmental Services to provide crucial early intervention including education and specialized therapy for children from birth to 3 years old with developmental delays; s Relatives Raising Children to keep families intact by providing resources and advocacy to kinship and relative caregivers who are raising children not theirs by birth; s Eating Recovery to offer hope for individuals who struggle with lifethreatening eating disorders as well as those who are challenged with other food-related issues; and s Family Support Services offering home visiting programs that maintain the stability of families by providing parent training and education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of really great success stories but it really comes down to being a place where families feel accepted and safe and can get the tools they need to break that cycle of whatever it is in their life that has been difficult for them and their family,â&#x20AC;?

Holden said.

At HopeSparksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; main Tacoma office, HopesCloset, a children and adult clothing boutique, is there to serve any HopeSparks family, past or present. Set up like a retail store so that families have a dignified shopping experience, HopesCloset also stocks some basic necessities like toiletries and personal hygiene products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a lot of families, the kids come with literally only the clothing on their backs so fulfilling basic needs is a huge component of what we do for those families,â&#x20AC;? Holden said.

Donations of new or gently used clothing are much welcomed for HopesCloset, as are donations of other basic needs items.

After all these years, HopeSparks continues to grow, and plans are being implemented to create a second floor of counseling offices soon at the main Tacoma location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I started in 2010, we had around 40 employees, and now we have close to 80. We have grown very much,â&#x20AC;?

Holden said.

Come to the open house on Nov. 5 to hear about HopeSparksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future and how you can be part of it. The event begins at 5:30 at the main office, 6424 N. 9th St. Light refreshments will be served. To RSVP, contact Holden at (253) 565-4484, ext.

LIONS’ OT WIN SETS TABLE FOR 4A NARROWS TITLE SHOWDOWN

By Chance Pittenger

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma Weekly Correspondent

ometimes, the stars forget to align the way they were supposed to and the undefeated, or “Cinderella,” teams finally meet their match, or stub their toe at the end of the season, dashing hopes of a title, and often sending a team spiraling out of control. The table was set for the 3A Narrows League upset as the Wilson Rams paid a visit to Lincoln Bowl on Friday, Oct. 23, running hot on the flames of an impressive four-game winning streak.

The Rams would leave it all on the field as they held the lead over the third-ranked and undefeated Lincoln Abes for nearly three quarters, but it wasn’t enough to close the deal.

The shorthanded Abes would feed off of their defense that smothered the Rams throughout, holding their crosstown rival to just three yards of offense in the second half, in route to an impressive 26-10 win and an undisputed 3A Narrows championship.

For the second year in a row, the Abes will host at least one and possibly two postseason games at Lincoln Bowl, after hosting games in 2014 for the first time in the modern football era. On the flip side, the good news for Wilson is that they are guaranteed a playoff berth, but whether it is a second or third seed will be answered Friday, Oct. 30 at Lincoln Bowl as they host Central Kitsap. The second seed will host a first round playoff game against a likely foe in Lake Washington, while a third seed will put the Rams on the road against either Ballard or the defending state champion, and currently top-ranked, Eastside Catholic Crusaders.

The Abes will host the loser of the Bishop Blanchet/ Rainier Beach play-in game this weekend.

However, for just about three quarters it appeared that this playoff scenario would be turned on its head, as the Rams held the Abes to just six points in the first half.

Entering the contest, Lincoln was one of the highest scoring teams in the state of Washington, but two recent wins with scores in the twenties have dropped the Abes a couple of notches. Of course, when your team is still averaging 47 points a game, things are still looking up for your squad.

After failing to get anything started in the opening drive, Wilson would punt the ball away, and the Abes would take over on their own 36 yard line. A fumbled snap on the first play for Lincoln would give the ball right back to the Rams and Wilson would capitalize on the turnover with a eight-play, 40-yard drive culminating in a seven-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Alex Motonaga to senior AJ Ruffin. The big 6-4 senior tight end went up high for the ball, giving Lincoln senior defensive back Xzavier Weston no chance at the ball. Following a successful kick by junior Alek Greenleaf, Wilson led 7-0 with 4:54 remaining in the first quarter.

On the following drive, Lincoln began moving the ball down field in chunks. After being stopped for no gain from the Wilson four yard line, Lincoln would be

If you were at Bellarmine Memorial Field last Friday, Oct. 23 and you listened closely to the wind, you could hear that showdown music from an old spaghetti western. With the two teams tied for second in the 4A Narrows League coming into the game, it was time for an old fashioned slugfest to break the logjam.

Bellarmine also had a shot at the league title, with their final game against league leading Gig Harbor. First though, there was this game to get through.

This one was definitely a rough and tumble affair and the first quarter felt like a heavyweight fight, with the offenses throwing jabs and the defenses responding with haymakers.

Neither team was able to get much of anything going on offense, although Olympia seemed determined to stick with their ground game that would soon pay dividends. The teams traded short possessions and punts and after one quarter there was no score.

The Bears got their running attack rolling in the second quarter, and when senior quarterback David Woodward hit Skylar Davis for a 50-yard pass, they were able to mount the first real threat of the evening. The drive continued down the field and Woodward was able to cap it off with a three yard run. The try for two points failed, and with 4:47 to go in the first half, the Bears had a 6-0 lead, which they would take into halftime.

Bellarmine got the ball to start the second half and it appeared that they had made some adjustments to their short passing game, as they were able to pick up chunks of yardage and find some success on offense. Quarterback Christian Moore finished off the drive with a one yard run. The extra point was blocked and the score was knotted at six points apiece.

The third quarter suddenly became all about the offenses, as the Bears' Jaden Toussaint exploded for a 73-yard run to paydirt when they got the ball back. The extra point was good and Olympia was back on top 13-6.

Not to be outdone, the Lions got a great return on the ensuing kickoff, and then marched 57 yards down the field with their senior phenom running back Ahmad Lewis carrying the final 14 yards for the score. Their kick was good and at the end of the third it was still all tied up at 13 each.

The Lions had a short possession to start the fourth quarter, and when that fizzled out, they managed to pin the Bears back at their own 12 yard line with a well-placed punt.

Olympia was up to the challenge, however, and methodically worked their way down the field, eating up yardage and, more importantly,

SPORTSWATCH

TACOMA STARS ADD TWO LOCAL STANDOUTS AS OPENING NIGHT APPROACHES Tacoma Stars Head Coach and General Manager Darren Sawatzky have announced the signing of legacy midfielder Duncan McCormick and goalkeeper Chris Kintz.

McCormick, 19, is the son of former Stars player Dick McCormick, who played for the club from 1989-91. The Seattle native is a former Sounders Academy standout who made 23 appearances last year with Seattle Sounders FC 2 in the United Soccer League.

“Duncan is a clever player who I have worked with at a lot of levels,” Sawatzky said. “He played his first professional season this last year in the USL with the S2 after finishing up with the Sounders Academy. He is an incredible competitor who understands the game of soccer at a high level and will fit nicely into the group we have assembled.”

“I’m excited to be with the Stars for their first full professional season,” McCormick said. “There’s a long offseason for the USL, and playing with the Stars keeps me fit and sharp. I’m eager to work with Darren and the quality players within the organization to enhance my game.”

Kintz, 33, played for numerous iterations of the Stars in the past and has also spent time with the US National Arena Soccer Team. A native of Tacoma, Kintz logged 354 minutes in the net for the Stars last season, racking up 114 saves and a save percentage of .651.

“We are happy to bring Chris back to man the nets this winter with the Tacoma Stars,” Sawatzky said. “Between Chris and Danny we have two of the best in the business and the competition will make them both better as we head into our first MASL season.”

“I am looking forward to playing for the team I grew up watching in the Tacoma Dome for so many years and representing my home town,” Kintz said.

The Stars open their 2015-16 season, the club’s first full season in the Major Arena Soccer League, with a home contest against the Sacramento Surge on Nov. 6 at the ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington.

TACOMA STARS PARTNER WITH MAYORS OF TACOMA AND KENT The Tacoma Stars have teamed up with Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland and Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke to benefit local charities through the sale of tickets to the Stars seasonopening contest on Friday, Nov. 6 at the ShoWare Center.

For each ticket sold, $5.00 will be donated to the charity of the respective mayor’s choosing - Mayor Strickland has chosen the Tacoma Boys and Girls Clubs, while Mayor Cooke has chosen the Kent Parks Foundation. Tickets are available for purchase by city employees.

“I am proud to work with the Tacoma Rainiers and Tacoma Stars to support the Boys and Girls Clubs,” Mayor Strickland said. “As an alum of the Boys and Girls Clubs, I know firsthand that they provide our youth with opportunities to succeed and can positively impact lives.”

“I am very pleased to welcome back the Tacoma Stars and their fans to Kent’s ShoWare Center for all the action of arena soccer,” Mayor Cooke said. “Buying tickets for the home opener is a win-win! Not only is it a great opportunity to support the Stars, but $5 for every ticket sold will help more kids participate in city recreation programs.”

City employees can purchase tickets and support their mayor’s charity by calling Charlotte Freed at (253) 722-1036.

Season ticket packages, group outings, and suite offerings for the Tacoma Stars 2015 season are available now. To purchase, call 1-844-STARS-TIME or visit the Stars online at www.tacomastars.com.

UNDEFEATED WEEKEND LEADS TO FOUR NWC ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONORS Pacific Lutheran teams wrapped up an undefeated weekend Sunday, and the Lutes' success garnered numerous Northwest Conference honors for PLU men's soccer, volleyball and women's rowing student-athletes.

Eddie Na and KC Phillips received NWC Men's Soccer Offensive and Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week honors after sweeping a pair of home contests by a combined 7-0 score. Na had perhaps the greatest two-match stretch in program history from a scoring perspective, as he scored both goals in Saturday's upset of previously undefeated and fourthranked Whitworth and followed that with two more goals in Sunday's 5-0 win over Whitman. Meanwhile, Phillips played all 180 minutes between the two matches and helped the Lutes shut out a Whitworth team that had scored a league-best 37 goals coming into the weekend. He also assisted on one of Na's Saturday goals and helped PLU record another shutout in Sunday's win. Na and Phillips are the first two Lutes to earn NWC men's soccer weekly honors this season.

Michaela Edgers was a dominant force in the middle for the Pacific Lutheran volleyball team over the weekend as the Lutes won a pair of NWC matches. Edgers hit .404 with 22 kills and only three errors in the two matches while totaling 13 blocks (1.63 per set) and averaging 2.75 kills per set in wins over Lewis & Clark and Pacific. Friday's win saw the Lutes fall behind 2-0 and trail 22-18 in the third set against the Pioneers before scoring seven straight points to force a fourth set, which the Lutes won. The fifth set took until 21-19 before PLU completed the comeback victory. Capron joined previous Lute honorees Lucy Capron (9/7) and Chloe Epker (9/14) as S-A of the Week recipients.

Pacific Lutheran's Varsity 8+ A boat made the most of its final race of the fall season, as the Lutes finished with a time of 15:46 in the Charlie Brown Regatta on the Willamette River in Portland to win the race. They finished 14 seconds ahead of Lewis & Clark's A boat and 33 seconds ahead of the

Puget Sound A boat. Coxswain Jessica Hunter steered while Evan Schmidt occupied the stroke seat, followed by Clarissa Pendleton, Hannah Peterson, Carly Lange, Tahle Oestby, Emily Odegard, Sydeny Otey and Camille Lemke in the bow seat. Saturday's race marked that lineup's second time rowing together to become the first PLU boat to be named NWC Women's Rowing Crew of the Week. While the Lutes' Varsity 8 received the recognition, PLU boats also placed first in the Varsity 4 and Novice 8 races to give PLU three event titles Saturday.

The Pacific Lutheran men's soccer team heads to Oregon this weekend for the final road matches of the regular season, while the Lute volleyball team hosts Willamette on Friday, Oct. 30 and George Fox on Senior Day Saturday, Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. both nights. The PLU women's rowing team heads into winter training and will return to competition in March.

LUTES BOUNCE BACK FROM CROSSTOWN DEFEAT TO THROTTLE GEORGE FOX The Pacific Lutheran offense bombarded George Fox with 30 shot attempts as the 17th-ranked Lutes bounced back from Wednesday's defeat with a 3-0 Northwest Conference women's soccer victory over the Bruins Sunday afternoon.

With the win, Pacific Lutheran improved to 13-2-1 overall and 9-2-1 and maintained its position tied with No. 22 Puget Sound atop the NWC standings. George Fox fell to 5-10-2 overall and 3-9-1 in the NWC. The Lutes close out the home portion of the 2015 season next weekend, hosting Whitman on Saturday and Whitworth on Sunday.

PLU attempted six shots in the first 12 minutes of play as the Lutes attacked the goal early and often on Sunday.

George Fox goalkeeper Morgan Bars made four saves in the first period, holding the Lutes scoreless until the 44th minute when Amber Richards broke through for the first goal of her collegiate career following a pass from Taylor Lunde.

It didn't take long for PLU to extend its lead, as Emily Hanna made it 2-0 less than two minutes into the second half on a long shot from the left corner off an assist by Machaela Graddy. Hanna got the assist on the Lutes' final goal, as Hailey Smoot put it away in the 83rd minute with her first goal of the season.

The Lutes dominated the stat sheet with a 30-7 overall shot advantage that included a 16-1 differential in the first half.

PLU finished the day with 14 corner kicks while not allowing George Fox a single corner kick opportunity, and the Lutes finished with 11 shots on goal as Bars totaled eight saves and the three goals allowed.

Takara Mitsui earned her 12th shutout of the season for the Lutes with four saves while playing all 90 minutes in goal. Hanna finished the day with a match-high seven shots, including three on goal, while Graddy added four shot attempts for the Lutes.

LOGGERS SET FOR RIVALRY WEEK AFTER 38-7 WHIPPING OF GEORGE FOX Max McGuinn rushed for a career-high 141 yards and Brennan Schoneclipsed 100 yards receiving for the fourth time this season as the Puget Sound football team beat Lewis & Clark, 38-7, on Saturday afternoon. The Loggers improve their overall record to 4-2 (3-1 NWC) for the first time since 2006.

McGuinn is the first Logger to rush for 100 yards since Austin Wagner had 105 against Pacific Lutheran in 2012.

Puget Sound scored on its opening drive when Kevin Miller caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Hans Fortune to cap off a six-play, 55-yard drive. The Loggers needed just one play in their second possession to find the end zone as McGuinn sprinted 53 yards for the first of his two touchdowns.

Just like that, Puget Sound held a 14-0 lead five minutes into the game.

The Pioneers (0-6, 0-4 NWC) cut the Logger lead in half when Kris Grobecker caught a 72-yard touchdown pass shortly after McGuinn's first score, but those were the only points surrendered by the Puget Sound defense. McGuinn found the end zone again in opening quarter with a 62-yard carry and the Loggers held a 21-7 advantage through the first 15 minutes.

Lewis & Clark was poised to score again when it recovered a Logger fumble at the Puget Sound 10-yard line, but a sack

by Brett Pilling forced the Pioneers back to the 18-yard line. The Pioneers immediately called a timeout, but Jacob Wuesthoff foiled their plans when he picked off Lewis & Clark quarterback Mike Machado in the end zone.

Schon caught two touchdowns in the second quarter. The first was a 10-yard play that capped off a 97-yard drive, and the second was a 28-yard strike that gave the Loggers a 35-7 lead.

Sawyer Petre connected on a season-best 43-yard field goal to put the Loggers ahead, 38-7, in the third quarter.

Senior wide receiver Peter Bell topped 100 yards receiving for the second-consecutive game by totaling 105 yards on eight receptions. Fortune completed 25 of 39 pass attempts for 299 yards and three touchdowns.

The Loggers host crosstown rival Pacific Lutheran during Homecoming Weekend on Saturday, Oct. 31. Kickoff at Baker Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m.

UPS’ ACORDA-FEY AND DONCKELS NAB NWC ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONORS Amalia Acorda-Fey and Emma Donckels have been named the Northwest Conference Offensive and Defensive StudentAthletes of the Week, respectively, the NWC announced on Tuesday.

Acorda-Fey, a Seattle, native played all 180 minutes of the Loggers two games over the week. The senior midfielder tallied a goal and an assist in the matches. In Puget Sound's 1-0 victory over No. 17-ranked Pacific Lutheran, Acorda-Fey assisted the game winner, serving her free kick into the box for Donckels to find. She then scored the game-winner on Saturday in a 2-0 win against Pacific.

Donckels, a Los Altos, Calif, anchored the Logger defense as they went 2-0 last week. She played all 180 minutes of the two matches, as she helped Puget Sound earn its 12th and 13th clean sheets of the year. In addition, Donckels scored the game-winner in the Loggers' victory over PLU, heading home an Acorda-Fey free kick.

This is Acorda-Fey's third weekly award of her career, previously earning NWC Offensive Student-Athlete of the Week on October 28, 2013 and October 21, 2014. This is Donckel's first time receiving the honor.

HYAKS TOO MUCH FOR EAGLES, but PlAyoffS AwAit lCA

The Life Christian Eagles entered their 2B Pacific League showdown on Saturday, Oct. 24 at Harry Lang Stadium with the third-ranked North Beach Hyaks in need of a near-perfect game to keep up with the type of ground onslaught they were going to face. While the Eagles were in the midst of an impressive regular season, and had already stamped a ticket into the playoffs, the undefeated Hyaks came into the game as the highest scoring team in the state at 54 points a game to Life Christian’s scoring clip of nearly 50.

Something was going to have to give, and for nearly three quarters the Eagles held onto a slim lead, before the Hyaks huge offensive line began to finally pry

open holes in the Life Christian defense. North Beach would give up a couple of late scores, but ran away with the game in the fourth quarter for a 44-27 victory and sole possession of the 2B Pacific League championship.

North Beach would get onto the scoreboard first following an opening drive by the Eagles that ended in a punt. The Hyaks, known to throw the ball maybe two or three times per game, began their night of “ground and pound” right out of the gates and punched it into the end zone on an eight-yard scamper around the left end by senior running back Skyler Wells. With apparently no true kicker on the roster, North Beach would go for a two-point conversion, following a score, throughout the game. The first attempt was snuffed out by the

Eagles defense and North Beach took a 6-0 lead with 7:57 left in the first quarter.

On the next possession, Life Christian would drive to the North Beach 31 yard line before stalling out and turning the ball over to the Hyaks following an incomplete pass on fourth down.

The Eagles would go on the defensive next and gave North Beach no running room, forcing the Hyaks to punt the ball away.

Life Christian would then move the ball into North Beach territory. With the ball at the 22 yard line, senior Eagle quarterback Jack Hohimer lofted a pass to senior Zay Greene into the back corner of the end zone.

North Beach was whistled for pass interference on the play, and instead of moving the ball to the one yard line; the referees spotted the ball half the distance to the goal

line at the 11 yard line. A handoff to senior running back Wyatt Dunlap is all it would take as the Eagle’s scoring machine weaved his way through tacklers and into the end zone. Following a successful extra-point, Life Christian led 7-6 with 1:31 remaining in the first quarter.

On North Beach’s following possession, the Hyaks pushed the ball all the way down to the Life Christian 20 yard line. Four plays later, the Eagle defense had held and North Beach would turn the ball back over on downs after falling short of the first down marker by four yards.

Life Christian would then string together a 15-play, 86-yard drive capped by a pass from Hohimer to Dunlap over the middle. The senior spun off a defender and crossed the goal line

untouched. The Eagles now led 14-6 with 3:40 left in the first half.

North Beach would answer quickly as Hyak senior running back Saul Gonzales broke off a 43-yard run that was just eight yards away from a score, if not for a shoestring tackle by Life Christian senior defensive back Reid Roelofs. However, Gonzalez would score on the next snap and following another failed two-point attempt, the Hyaks closed the gap to 14-12 with 2:42 left in the first half.

On the ensuing kick-off, North Beach recovered a squib kick down the middle of the field and took over on the Life Christian 27 yard line. The Eagles would end up pushing the Hyaks back to the 31 yard line before North Beach ultimately turned the ball back over to the Eagles following a failed

fourth down attempt. The score would hold at 14-12 for Life Christian until halftime, and throughout the third quarter until Hyak senior quarterback Alex McAra shocked the Eagles, and the Homecoming crowd, by attempting a pass down the sidelines to senior Chris Harms, who sprinted to the end zone untouched. A successful two-point conversion put the Hyaks up 20-14 with 2:21 left in the third quarter.

North Beach would go up 28-14 early in the fourth quarter off of a 34-yard touchdown run by Gonzalez, only to be answered by Life Christian touchdown drive, capped by a 15-yard run by sophomore Ezra Miller. The score was now 28-21 North Beach with 8:51 left in the game. Gonzalez would then score on runs of 58 and 70 yards in just under three minutes and the 44-21 Hyak lead was going to be too much ground to make up for the Eagles. Dunlap would haul in a 37-yard touchdown pass from Hohimer with 45 seconds remaining to finish the scoring as North Beach (7-0 2B Pacific, 8-0 overall) captured the 44-27 victory.

Life Christian (5-2 overall) will host a first round playoff game as the third seed out of the 2B Pacific league. The Eagles wrap up the regular season against crosstown rival Tacoma Baptist on Thursday, Oct. 29 at Curtis Viking Stadium.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

called for a penalty on the next two plays pushing them back to the 17 yard line. A quick pass from sophomore quarterback Willie Hamilton to senior running back Dionte Simon was snuffed out by the Ram defense for a five yard loss. On the next play, Motonaga climbed high in the end zone and intercepted a Hamilton pass with one hand and the drive was over.

The Abes defense would give up a 30-yard pass to senior receiver Montre Brown on Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first play of the next drive and then buckled down, forcing the Rams to punt. Senior Tony Archie would haul in a booming punt from Greenleaf at his own 15 yard line and streak down the sideline for a spectacular 85-yard touchdown. The only problem was the yellow flag on the turf near midfield, and the touchdown was wiped off of the scoreboard.

Lincoln would have to start their drive on their own 31 yard line and they went straight to work. The Abes would put together a 12-play drive, culminating in a dazzling 15-yard scramble and score by Hamilton. The extra-point kick was no good, and Wilson hung onto the lead 7-6 with 6:46 remaining in the second quarter.

The two teams would trade punts on four consecutive three and outs before

Wilson took over at their own 43 yard line with just 44 seconds left in the first half. A 24-yard pass up the sideline to senior receiver Charles Summers put the ball at the Lincoln 33 yard line. A three yard completion and a couple of spiked balls left the Rams with fourth down from the Abes 30 yard line and out came Greenleaf for the kick. A clean snap was followed by a solid kick and Greenleaf nailed a 47-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the first half. The teams would go into the locker room with Wilson leading 10-6.

The Abes would not help themselves in the third quarter as they drove just past midfield before a botched handoff put the football on the turf and Wilson came away with the football.

After another three and out

by Wilson, Lincoln looked to get back on track and strung together a 15-play drive that had them knocking on the end zone door again at the Wilson 17 yard line. A touchdown pass from Hamilton to senior Marcus Wiley was wiped away by a penalty, and then Hamilton was intercepted by Wilson senior Malik Cox. Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead continued to hold.

Lincoln pushed Wilson six yards back on the ensuing drive and took over at midfield following a 32-yard punt by Greenleaf. It would take the Abes seven plays to

move downfield and finally surpass the Rams on the scoreboard as Wiley would take a handoff as he ran in motion in front of Hamilton at the 16 yard line. He was met by a few defenders before the goal line, but the senior lowered his shoulder and smashed his way across the goal line. Lincoln now led 13-10 with just under four seconds remaining in the third quarter.

Things continued to go the Abesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way on the next Wilson drive. Junior defensive back Zavier Huebner picked up a fumble at the Lincoln 48 yard line and ran it back to the Wilson 14 yard line. It would take the Abes just four plays before Simon took a handoff and spun himself through would-be tacklers and into the end zone. Following a bad snap on the extra-point, Lincoln now led 19-10 with 8:33 remaining in the fourth

quarter.

The Abes would cap the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring with a nineplay, 52-yard drive that was capped by a 20-yard run by sophomore running back Tristian Kwon. Lincoln led 26-10 with 18 seconds left in the contest and the game was over.

The big story on the night was the Lincoln defense that held Wilson to 24 yards on 28 rushing attempts and limited the Rams to a total of 114 yards for the game. On the other side of the ball, Lincoln would rack up 375 yards of total offense.

Lincoln (6-0 3A Narrows, 8-0 overall) travels to Mt. Tahoma Stadium on Friday, Oct. 30 to face the Foss Falcons (0-6, 0-8).

Wilson (4-2, 4-4) will host Central Kitsap (4-2, 4-4) on the same night at Lincoln Bowl. Both games start at 7 p.m.

the clock. They were at the Bellarmine 12 yard line, looking unstoppable with only two minutes left in the game, when the Lions' defense rose up and Ahmad Lewis picked off a Bears' pass in the endzone. The Lions were not able to do anything with the ball in the final two minutes, and regulation time ended with the score still at 13-13.

The Bears had first possession in overtime and they continued to move through the Lions defense at ease. However, Woodward fumbled as he was heading to the endzone, Bellarmine recovered, and this turnover would seal Olympia's fate. The Lions ran three plays which got them close enough to send in their placekicker, Bryce Bendixen. He drilled a 34-yard field goal for the win, and the Lions kept their hopes alive for a league title.

That title will not come easily as they travel to undefeated Gig Harbor (8-0) Friday, Oct. 30 for the regular season finale. However, a win would put them in a tie for first and give them the tiebreaker with a head-to-head victory and assure a home playoff game.

A second place finish will give the Lions (4-1, 6-2) a home date in the first round of the playoffs against Curtis or Puyallup, while a first place finish will see the Lions host the fourth place finisher from the Wesco League, likely Mariner, Monroe or Snohomish.

Local Restaurants RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT: MAXWELLS

By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

I

n the cutthroat world of the restaurant business, an unexpected closure can be devastating. So, when speakeasy themed Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, located at 454 St. Helens Ave., had to close its doors for seven weeks due to burst pipes and flooding, the results could have been fatal. But thanks to owner Beti Tarantino and her resilient staff of experts, Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opened its doors once again on Oct. 9. The staff is re-energized and very willing to serve some of the best food in Tacoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been all the employees that have stuck around. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re people that truly care about serving the guest, making sure the experience is a quality one. I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of heart here, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why people do come back,â&#x20AC;? server Kent Bolden said.

Tarantino credits her staff for being willing to stick with her through the tough times and continue to make Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

destination for Tacoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than anything, everyone was more than ready to get back to work, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a driving force for everyone,â&#x20AC;?

Bolden said.

One of the employees ready to get back to work is Bar Manager Zack Mcintire, a Tacoma resident who is excited to expand the speakeasy theme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our aim is to try to stay true to the name â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;speakeasy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Mcintire said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the direction of a true speakeasy.â&#x20AC;?

One change for Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a new cook, Tae Proctor-Mills, who is excited to bring his own personal brand of cooking to the establishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eat the food here, because I cook from my heart.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about what I do. I bring nothing but love and compassion to everything I bring to the table. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a hard worker and it shows in my food,â&#x20AC;? Proctor-Mills said.

Proctor-Mills is especially proud of the steak they serve at Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It displays different skills in the kitchen, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the grill marks, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooked to perfection,â&#x20AC;? Proctor-Mills said.

The restaurant offers a variety of dinner options including mac and cheese, soups and salads.

With a fresh start and a re-energized staff, Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is primed to make a comeback. If you want to be part of it,

the restaurant is open Tuesday through Thursday from 4-10 p.m., Friday from 4 p.m. to midnight, and Saturday from 5 p.m. to midnight. Be sure to check out the live jazz on Fridays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to create a new vibe here.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to bring something new to the table, a new atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? Proctor-Mills said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something that everyone in the neighborhood can enjoy.â&#x20AC;?

Bobcat documentary BRINGS HOPE Comedian discusses his survivor's story, ‘Call Me Lucky,’ before Tacoma visit

PHOTO BY ROBYN VON SWANK

BOBCAT. The actor, comedian and director will headline Tacoma Comedy Club from Nov. 5 to 7.

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Y

ears ago, who would have predicted that the guy who played screechy Zed from the “Police Academy” films and who literally set “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on fire would go on to become one of the most thoughtfully provocative directors in Hollywood?

But that's exactly the transformation Robert “Bobcat” Goldthwait has undergone these last three decades as he's brought his stark and often poignant vision to films like “God Bless America” (his comedy about a cross-country murder spree); “World's Greatest Dad” (a father-son satire with one gut punch of a twist); and the found footage horror flick, “Willow Creek” (being murdered by Bigfoot could be the least of your problems).

Next week, Goldthwait will get back to his standup roots as he headlines five big sets from Nov. 5 to 7 at Tacoma Comedy Club. But when we caught up with him between flights, the focus was on his critically acclaimed, new film “Call Me Lucky,” a documentary that stars friend and fellow comedian Barry Crimmins. It unflinchingly confronts a topic that's sure to make many squirm: surviving pedophilia. Here's some of what he had to say.

TACOMA WEEKLY: So you're bouncing around the country today.

GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, I'm at LAX in Los Angeles right now, and I'm headin' up to Syracuse. “Call Me Lucky” is at a film festival there, and that's my hometown.

And Barry ... he's from nearby there, so it's

kind of a homecoming for the two of us.

TW: The movie is what people have been talking about this summer and fall.

So why Barry Crimmins?

GOLDTHWAIT: I ask that myself every day. (He laughs.) No, even if he wasn't my friend, Barry's story (is) really fascinating and courageous. It just played out like a Frank Capra movie. When he was on the floor of the Senate at the judiciary committee hearing and exposing AOL for allowing child pornography to be exchanged, it was ... about a little guy taking on a major corporation. The fact that he's this brilliant political satirist, and he's also a dear friend, certainly didn't hurt. But I have a lot of friends that I love dearly that I'm not makin' a movie about.

TW: Presumably, you knew about all the stuff you reveal in the documentary beforehand.

GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, I was one of the first people Barry disclosed it to, so I always knew his story of being raped as a kid. In a weird way, I was kind of relieved (because) that meant he was on the road to start dealing with it and processing. Barry always had a lot of anger and rage.

TW: Originally, you wanted to make a docudrama.

GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, that wouldn't have got off the ground. I tried for years, even took a couple stabs at writing a screenplay or two. But I'm kind of glad it didn't end up happening.

TW: What was the turning point?

GOLDTHWAIT: I talked about it with Robin Williams. He was my pal, and he was the one who suggested I make it into a documentary after not getting it going for

so long. I would have ideally had someone like him play the part. We even talked about that for a little bit, but not seriously.

Robin was a fan of Barry's, and he encouraged me to make this documentary.

TW: The documentary is fascinating on a number of levels. You cover the range of the person that is Barry, and you also cover some really serious issues. If there's one thing someone takes away from your film, what would you hope it would be?

GOLDTHWAIT: Two things: I hope people find hope in it, folks who are dealing with being a victim, a survivor. I hope they get some encouragement and know they're not alone. Then, the rest of us, our job is to listen. It is weird; adult men talking about rape from when they were kids is something that isn't discussed. So I think the more this stuff is brought out in the light it's good.

TW: Were there parts of the movie that were especially difficult to approach?

GOLDTHWAIT: I didn't want my friend to relive these events. That's why I wanted to make it with an actor playing him. So, of course, it was difficult having Barry discuss his abuse as a child and his family discussing it. Yeah, it was pretty intense (but) there was a lot of tension being released. So it was weird because ... I don't drink, but (after filming) there was a lot of drinking – a lot of laughs.

TW: I was watching a clip recently of you talking to Katie Couric, and you joke – in the context of this film and losing Robin – that you're “this close to making a duck movie.” I wonder if that's what getting back in touch with your standup career is about, maybe coming back to a more

GOLDTHWAIT: I do standup a lot. It's pretty free-flowing, you know. The crowd is expecting a nostalgia act, and if they don't give me a chance to ad lib and get more personal I just do the greatest hits.

But often my stories are pretty personal and hopefully they're funny and entertaining. I think in regards to whatever movie I do next, I'm weighing it out. Usually, I just pull the trigger on whatever I can get goin'.

(A loud announcement can be heard in the background.) Uh oh, my flight it starting to board. I have time for one more question.

TW: So what do you have coming up?

GOLDTHWAIT: I don't know. There are three movies that I have ready ... but I'm trying to figure out which one I'll make next. One's a gay martial arts movie.

TW: That's different.

GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to make … an action film with a gay hero. Uh oh, I gotta go. Then the other one's kind of a junky comedy.

SEVERAL ARTISTS SHOW NEW CULTURE CORNER M WORK IN WOOLWORTH WINDOWS A G

USEUMS OF TACOMA

UIDE TO THE

Museum of the Week:

By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

New art installations are running in the display windows of the Woolworth building at South 11th and Broadway downtown. The current crop will be on view through Dec. 3.

Display case No. 1 features art by Shawn Foote, a talented painter and sculptor. Foote’s installation is called “Super Apocentri” and involves two sculptures of cartoonish robotic figures, one of which is gazing at a painting. The painting itself is the most interesting part of the installation. It resembles an enigmatic tarot card featuring the number four. A faceless figure in a shirt and necktie is seated at the edge of a body of water.

There are three grails nearby and a fourth cup is on the figure’s head. Behind the figure is a nimbus composed of totemic animals: wolf, cow, eagle and bison. These animals figure prominently in much of Foote’s art.

The No. 2 section of the Woolworth windows features alternative photography by members of L’Arche Tahoma Hope, an international, faith-based organization in which people with intellectual disabilities live communally with others. This installation is called “Organic Inclusivity.” Photographer and L’Arche Tahoma Hope resident Megan Bent helped 26 members of the group to construct pinhole cameras out of oatmeal containers and coffee cans. These were placed around the communal grounds to capture dramatically murky, impressionistic images of trees, flowers, grasses, telephone poles and the insides of greenhouses.

There are also some experimental cyanotype prints and an number of chlorophyll prints. The later are the most fascinating in the installation. Black and white photos

were printed on transparencies that were in turn set atop broad leaves of a plant. After a period of time, the image is transferred onto the leaf by the sun. Digital prints of the leaves are on display. The original leaves are there too, but the images are growing faint as the leaves dry and wrinkle.

Space No. 3 features the environmental fashion art of Terra Holcomb. Called “Organic Materials,” this exhibit features dresses that the artist made out of natural materials and objects. There is one made of seashells and one made of moss. One made of flower petals is drying out and falling apart, as the artist intended. Holcomb makes these naturalistic garments and then models them in the natural environment. Photographic images are captured of Holcomb in her elemental garb. Holcomb is fashion designer, model, artist, sculptor and

photographer all rolled into one. Her photos are quite striking. Holcomb dressed in autumn leaves and standing on an old tree stump is surreal. Holcomb dressed in purple-black mussel shells and standing like a sea creature on the shore is a primal image. The clothing without the person is a lifeless husk.

Nearby, the little Tollbooth Gallery is showing a psychedelic animation called “Tarotpia.” The animation is reminiscent of the 1973 classic “Fantastic Planet,” and the Beatle’s movie “Yellow Submarine.”

It is colorful, loosely drawn and slightly creepy as it deals with themes of life and death and rebirth. It is totally absorbing.

The Woolworth Windows and Tollbooth Gallery transform the street corner along Broadway into a fantastic, open-air art gallery that is one of the many treasures of downtown Tacoma.

NEW ORLEANS TROMBONIST DELFEAYO MARSALIS TO PERFORM WITH UPS JAZZ BAND Not too many musicians come to Tacoma directly from a festival gig in Brazil without first stopping at home for a breather. But there are few musical peers who can match the history, legacy or travel itineraries of Delfeayo Marsalis, the trombonist member of the storied New Orleans family, known as Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;first family of jazz.â&#x20AC;?

Currently exporting NOLA jazz to Sao Paulo and an inaugurating festival in Natal, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll travel 24 hours to rehearse and perform with the UPS Jazz Band at 7:30 p.m., Friday Oct. 30, at University of Puget Soundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schneebeck Concert Hall.

Delfeayo Marsalis is one of the top trombonists, composers and producers in jazz today. Marsalis also showcases his talent through literature and drama, and is author of the award-winning childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book No Cell Phone Day and founder of Uptown Music Theatre (UMT). Since 2000, UMT has provided professional dramatic arts training to New Orleans youth, encouraging them to explore the world from more than one perspective and to engage with an increasingly intermingled world in an effortless way, by sharing stories through theatre, dance, and music.

Delfeayo Marsalis is known for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;technical excellence, inventive mind and frequent touches of humor...â&#x20AC;?

(Leonard Feather, Los Angeles Times), he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;...one of the best, most imaginative and musical of the trombonists of his generation.â&#x20AC;? (Philip Elwood, San Francisco Examiner.) In January 2011, Delfeayo and the Marsalis family (father Ellis and brothers Branford, Wynton and Jason) earned the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest jazz honor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a National

Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award.

Born in New Orleans on July 28, 1965, Marsalis was destined to a life in music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember my dad (Ellis Marsalis) playing piano at the house, and me laying underneath the piano as a child, listening to him play.

Marsalis attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts high school, was classically trained at the Eastern Music Festival and Tanglewood Institute, and majored in both performance and audio production at the Berklee College of Music.

About the time that he first started playing trombone, Marsalis was already greatly interested in the recording process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was in fifth or sixth grade, my brother Branford showed me how to create a feedback loop on a reel to reel machine. At that time, there was a real need in the family for demo tapes. In fact, I was recording Wynton when he was in high school. When I was in seventh grade, he challenged me to have his demo tape sound on the same level as Maurice Andre's classical studio recordings. It was all trial and error and I learned a great deal.â&#x20AC;? From the age of 17 until the present, Marsalis has produced over 100 recordings for major artists including Harry Connick, Jr, Marcus Roberts, Spike Lee, Terence Blanchard, Marcus Roberts, Adam Makowicz, Nicholas Payton, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the projects of Ellis, Branford and Wynton Marsalis.

The concert is produced by ASUPS Cultural Events.

Tickets are $12 general admission and available online through tickets.pugetsound.edu, or at the UPS Information Center.

Crispin Glover will share his true passion next week in Olympia

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Everyone else may have been celebrating “Back to the Future 2” day on Oct. 21, the day Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly fast-forwards to in his time-traveling DeLorean. But not Crispin Glover, who starred as Marty’s dad, George, in the trilogy’s 1985 debut but not – contrary to what you may remember – its sequel.

“I really don’t remember the film,” the actor said Tuesday, speaking via Skype from a 17th century chateau he owns in the Czech Republic. A silly question about technology the movie had predicted stirred up bitter memories.

Glover was fired from the franchise, and he wound up suing director Robert Zemeckis and producer Bob Gale for using another actor to impersonate him in the second film.

“I don’t remember anything about technology,” said Glover, among the main attractions at the Olympia Film Festival on Nov. 6 and 8. “All I could think about was they had put another person in prosthetics to make him look like me. I didn’t know it until I went and saw the film, which I paid to go see, to see what was going on.

I really do not remember anything about it. It was not a particularly happy moment.”

Glover managed to bounce back from that disappointment, landing roles in several memorable films, “Willard,” “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” and “The People vs. Larry Flynt” among them. Zemeckis even seemed to make amends, casting him as the menacing Grendel in his 2007 version of “Beowulf.”

But what the famously eccentric actor will showcase in Olympia is his true passion, a trilogy of art films he has been working on since 1996. He recalled an epiphany he had after playing the creepy Thin Man in the 2000 reboot of “Charlie’s Angels.”

“I realized I could no longer think of the content of what the films were,” he said. “I needed to think of my acting as a craft and my own films as my art. I had to work as much as I could as an actor to be able to fund my own films.”

On display in Olympia will be two films he directed, “What Is It?” and “It is Fine! Everything is Fine.”

There is an air of mystery about them since they can only be seen at live events he has hosted over the last

few years. Each will be preceded by performance pieces called “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show” and followed by a 90-minute Q & A session.

“There were small corporations that were interested in distribution,” Glover said. “But I knew what would have happened.

It would have opened in New York, L.A., San Francisco, Chicago and gone to DVD, and it would not be the experience that I had intended for it.”

The Internet Movie Database describes “What is It?” as “a bewildering, unnerving, surreal, blackly comic film ... that tells the inner and outer struggles of a young man facing villains and demons on multiple planes.” Glover said his abstract approach was heavily influenced by surrealist auteur Luis Buñel, best known for his visionary 1929 film, “Un Chien Andalou.”

The principal actors have Down syndrome, and Glover described the project as his psychological reaction to the avoidance of taboo in mainstream cinema.

When confronted with taboo topics, audience members are forced to think and grapple with what they believe, he argued. “What’s the opposite of questioning?” he asked. “It’s propaganda, and that’s what’s happening in our corporately funded and distributed cinema.”

“It is Fine!” was written by the late Steven C. Stewart, who was born with cerebral palsy and forced to live in a nursing home for several years after his mother died.

understand him,” Glover said, “and people would derisively call him an M.R. – a mental retard – which is not a nice thing to say to anybody. Steve was of normal intelligence, and the emotional turmoil he must have gone through during the decade he was locked in that nursing home, I can’t even begin to imagine.”

The film is a fantastical, psycho-sexual retelling of his life in the style of 1970s TV murder mysteries.

“Because he wrote it in that style instead of a standard autobiography, there are truths in his psychology that come through that are really quite interesting and beautiful,” Glover said. “Really, when the whole trilogy is done ... this film will be the best; but not only that, I feel like it’s the best film I’ll have anything to do with in my whole career.”

Glover’s appearance with “It is Fine! Everything is Fine” is scheduled for 8 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Capitol Theater. The “What Is It?” session will start at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 8.

WITCHY WOMAN HOROSCOPES Christina Wheeler has been studying astrology for the past 22 years. She writes, creates, laughs too loud, and owns a store called The Nearsighted Narwhal in Tacoma, WA. If you ever want to chew the fat about astrology, contact her at tinathehyena@gmail.com.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) You’ll be caught up in all the feels as you cling to your mother, family, and friends. Maybe it’s a bit of nostalgia for you as you revisit your childhood home or walk the same path you used to walk home from school by. Whatever it is, you are in tune with your feelings and the feelings of others. Hold a hand, share a cup of joe, enjoy your time here.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Words will drip with sentiments and you’ll be able to clearly communicate how you feel right now. If there’s been any discord or you are feeling overwhelmed, you have the sharpness of thought and fluidity of speech to get your point across. Try not to make anyone the enemy or place blame. Simply state your needs and feelings and step back.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Your counters may be cluttered with things you just can’t bear to throw away, due to a need for it down the road or a person or emotion attached to it. This week you have an opportunity to simplify your life and start deciding what to keep and what to throw away. Use your best judgment and when you’re done you will feel free. Trust me.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Moodiness and a feeling of being taken advantage of can be a possibility. On one hand you’re a delightful soul with a sharp and witty sense of humor. On the other your moods may be mercurial and rise and fall with the coming and going of the tides. If life’s gotten you down lately, remember that you have the capacity to spring back when you’re ready to.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) There is great emotion tied in with your career path right now. Moods may be swinging from a sense of relief to great sorrow. Crankiness might be seeping through a bit in your interactions, so be mindful of that. You want to work at what will emotionally fulfill you and so your job – as of right now – is to figure out what exactly that means for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) This week is all about nurturing for you and that means also nurturing yourself. There may be a trip coming up that you are tied to in a great emotional way. Fulfillment and happiness will abound through this excursion. Or maybe it is digging in deeply to learn something that will bring you joy. Just remember to balance your needs with everyone else’s.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) In the face of tragedy, you are one of the few that stand tall and solid like a mountain. Even when you feel as though you’re crumbling on the inside, your demeanor is oozing with strength. People come to count on that and, when dealt their own personalized brand of tragedy, they know they can look to you for support. Be that rock this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) All of your best nurturing skills will come out as you cater to the one you love fully. Even though they may not be demanding it, you find your emotional center by being able to take care of them in whatever way you possibly can. Try not to overdo it and smother them. Learn to help when needed but let them handle some things on their own.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Tuning in to someone’s needs requires a little bit of psychic effort but you’re able to instinctively know what that person is feeling and why. One of your greatest gifts is loyalty and you are proud to shine that down on the ones that deserve it the most from you. Helping others dig into their feelings is a tough job, but you are one to be counted on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) You will be surrounded by situations in which you have to be of service at this time. Although it can be overwhelming, you find yourself fulfilled spiritually by being able to aid in the caretaking of someone who means a lot to you. You will ultimately feel confident in your abilities and the jobs that need to be done will be done. You’ve got this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Look to your intimate social circle this week as you either plan on dealing with issues head on and need the extra support or are feeling grateful for them. You may wish to open your home up to them and serve them a hot meal, made lovingly with grateful thoughts. Either way, your friends love you in return and will always be there when you need them.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Processing feelings can be difficult and can cause myriad mood swings if you’re not cognizant of what you’re going through and why. Even the good emotions can take a toll on us if we don’t have time to regroup and sort accordingly. Your creative outlets and offspring can assist you greatly in these areas right now. Let them be your support system.

Pet of the Week

MEET MUFASA, A LIONHEAD RABBIT Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama Meet Featured Pet Mufasa, king of the SMAM(Small Mammal)ALOT. Our resident Lionhead rabbit isn’t quite working on his roar, as he’s on the hunt for his “mane” person. Like most other Lionheads, Mufasa has a friendly disposition, and especially loves to hop about his kingdom. Unfortunately our mighty king may very well have been scruffed, as he flinches when you reach for his neck. For that reason, we believe the 8-month-old wouldn’t be a great match for children — it’s going take time for the one with the woolen mane to begin to trust.

If you feel the love tonight, please consider our handsome specimen of a bun, who’s as sweet as he is stately. #A501480
