he crowd erupted in cheers as Tacoma School District Superintendent Carla Santorno announced that the graduation rate at Tacoma Public high schools continues to climb, reaching a six-year record high of 85 percent in 2016. During the Cradle to Career Lunch on Oct. 28, students, educators and community leaders gathered at Tacoma's Greater Convention and Trade Center to celebrate the huge accomplishment and look for new opportunities in eliminating gaps in access,

opportunities, and achievements for local students. Although the initial goal to reach an 85 percent graduation rate by 2020 has been surpassed, Santorno and the Graduate Tacoma movement won't stop now. “Its incredible staff, this community and parents all working together and rowing the boat in the same direction. The reason that this is successful is the community that we're in,” she said. Since the Graduate Tacoma program was founded 10 years ago, the graduation rate for Tacoma students is on a steady rise. What started out as a 55 percent graduation rate in 2010 continues to climb as new programs throughout various education levels are implemented. The non-profit

movement sponsored by the Foundation for Tacoma Students and more than 200 community organizations caters to about 30,000 students, kindergarteners to high school seniors. “Everybody here is a different part of our community, but they are all coming together to work toward the goal to graduate kids – that’s amazing,” said Santorno. By assessing students’ individual needs, the movement collects and analyzes data to determine effective approaches, and has three stakeholder groups to support local students. Early Learning & Reading, Out of School and Summer Learning, and College Bound Support aim to help students through all educational stages.

HAROLD MOSS:

ACTIVIST, FIVE-TIME HUSBAND AND TACOMA'S FIRST BLACK MAYOR By Larry LaRue larry@tacomaweekly.com

Much more. All totaled, the Lincoln District Revitalization Project will spend about $8 million to revamp the area to not only be a better place to live and play, but also as an increasingly attractive neighborhood for business development and commercial activity in the coming years. Raising the utility poles comes at a cost of about $700,000, while undergrounding the lines would have been cost prohibitive at about $3

Harold Moss has never forgotten when his father took him to the Wayne County Fairgrounds outside Detroit during World War II. From outside the fence, Moss watched as German POWs played soccer on a manicured athletic field. “Prisoners of war could play there, but blacks weren’t allowed on the field,” Moss said. “In fact, we weren’t allowed through the gates.” Born in Texas, raised in the Midwest, Moss first came to Tacoma with the Army in 1950, where he was a dental technician at Fort Lewis. What followed was more than 65 years of life in the Northwest, a life Moss seized and relished. Moss helped start the Tacoma Urban League in the ‘60s, fought discrimination and became the first black mayor of Tacoma, then chair of the Pierce

LINCOLN DISTRICT REVITALIZATION

ONCE OVERLOOKED HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET $8 MILLION MAKEOVER By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma’s Lincoln District is getting a makeover after years of planning and discussion. The first tangible changes in the city’s Eastside neighborhood is underway, with utility crews raising the height of power lines to better showcase the facades and signs of area businesses as well as allow for higher buildings. But there will be more work to come.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

N 7TH AND MLK

Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.” In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. Two road packages passed by voters last year added money to the city’s street fund. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Bulletin Board HEALTH DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING TWO TB CASES AT UWT Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department is investigating two cases of tuberculosis (TB) at University of Washington Tacoma. The Health Department learned of the first case – a Pierce County resident – in April. In the second case, Seattle King County Public Health referred an individual – a King County resident – to Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department for further disease investigation in September. Now, the next step in both separate disease investigations is broader outreach to potentially affected people, which include UW Tacoma students and staff who may have been exposed to either individual. While both cases were considered to be a low exposure risk to the public, out of an abundance of caution, the Health Department and UW Tacoma want to make sure all those with an exposure risk receive testing. And, if needed, they will receive treatment to limit the further possible spread of TB and to reduce disruption to all those who may be affected. The Health Department worked with UW Tacoma to contact 238 people, mostly students, who may have been exposed to either of the two individuals, based on their activities on campus. The Health Department has recommended TB testing to those contacted. Testing will occur on campus Nov. 7 and 8 with results read on Nov. 9 and 10. If anyone tests positive, he or she will be treated with antibiotics, which generally cures the infection. The UW Tacoma health center will accommodate affected students who can’t attend the testing and reading clinics. Others who wish to get tested should contact their health care providers. “Public health is essential because a disease like tuberculosis can circulate in our community,” said Nigel Turner, director of communicable disease, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. “When diseases occur, we work to effectively respond to limit their spread and protect the health of our community.” What is TB? Bacteria causes TB, and antibiotics cure it. The two stages of TB are infection and disease. A person who has latent TB infection is not sick and can’t infect other people. People with latent TB infection can develop active TB. It is not easy to catch TB through casual contact. To spread the disease requires repeated and prolonged exposure to someone who has it. Those who live with a person with active TB disease are usually most at risk of infection. How does TB spread? A person with lung TB can spread the disease when he or she coughs or sneezes, shouts, laughs or sings. TB does not spread by sharing clothing, sharing eating utensils, kissing or hugging, or sexual activity. It does not spread in outdoor environments, where sunlight kills the bacteria. Learn more about TB at www.tpchd.org/TB or call (253) 798-6410. MARY BRIDGE ADOLESCENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NOW OPEN MultiCare Behavioral Health and Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital and Health Network are pleased to announce a new inpatient program to care for teens who face mental health issues. This will be the first program of its kind in Pierce County. The new 27-bed hospital-based unit, named Mary Bridge Adolescent Behavioral Health at Tacoma General, is slated to open Tuesday, Nov. 1, and will accept patients ages 13 through 17 on a voluntary and involuntary basis with a provider referral. It will be located on the first floor of the Rainer Tower at MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital, overlooking Wright Park. “Our state faces a significant shortage of treatment programs for youth and adolescents who need mental health care, ranking as the 47th state in the nation” said Tim Holmes, President of MultiCare Behavioral Health. “Here in Pierce County, we have had no options at all for patients under the age of 18 who were in need of inpatient behavioral health care. By opening this unit, MultiCare Behavioral Health and Mary Bridge are taking the first step in addressing this critical health care gap in our community.” The unit was designed to be a modern, inviting space with private rooms and open social areas, and includes state-of-the-art safety features to protect patients and staff. Because this is a new level of care being offered by MultiCare, the unit will open using a phased approach to ensure there are appropriate staffing levels to address patient needs and ensure patient and staff safety. Expanding behavioral health offerings to the region is a priority for MultiCare. Earlier this spring, the organization opened a 20-bed inpatient behavioral health unit at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center for voluntary and involuntary patients ages 18 and older. And in January, the Washington State Department of Health approved an application from MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan Health to jointly build and operate a $41 million, 120-bed not-for-profit psychiatric hospital in Tacoma. Construction of the hospital is slated to begin this year and be completed in 2018. PROCTOR MERCHANTS START CAMPAIGN FOR VETERANS Giving trees go up on Veterans Day, Friday Nov. 11 throughout the Proctor District, and the public is invited to select a red, white, and blue giving tag that identifies items needed for local veterans. The trees will be available

to the public through Nov. 19 and will be located at Metropolitan Market, Chalet Bowl, the Wheelock Library, and Knapp’s Restaurant. The tree at Knapp’s will be temporarily relocated to the Proctor District Farmer’s Market on Saturday Nov. 12. All donations will be delivered to veterans through the American Lake Veteran’s Hospital. People wishing to donate are encouraged to bring donated items back on Nov. 26, Small Business Saturday where they will be entered into drawings for a large selection of Proctor gift baskets donated by local merchants. Donations will be accepted between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Nov. 26 at G. Donnalson’s restaurant located at 3814 N 26th Street. Donors will be entered once for their donation, and entered additional times with each purchase at participating merchants on Small Business Saturday. Each participating merchant will have a special drawing box and entry forms. The more people shop and dine around the Proctor District on Small Business Saturday, the more they can enter their name into the drawing for Proctor gift baskets. Cash donations will also be accepted through Nov. 26 at the Proctor branch of Umpqua Bank.

APPLICANTS SOUGHT FOR FOSS WATERWAY BOARD Tacoma City Council is looking to fill three vacancies on the Foss Waterway Development Authority (FWDA) Board of Directors. The role of the FWDA is to implement the Master Plan for the Foss Waterway, including the sale, lease, development and management of public properties in and along the waterway. The FWDA is comprised of seven members who are appointed by the Economic Development Committee and confirmed by the City Council. Each FWDA member serves a minimum three-year term, with a time commitment of approximately two to six hours a month, and six hours for an annual retreat. FWDA members shall be civic or business leaders with experience in such fields as finance, real estate development, law or construction management and, to the extent possible, a majority of the membership shall be residents of Pierce County. Community members who have an ownership interest in real property located within or along the Foss Waterway, employees of the City of Tacoma or Metro Park District, and members of other City of Tacoma Boards and Commissions are not eligible to serve. More information on the FWDA is available online or by contacting Louise Dreyer at (253) 597-8122. Applications must be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office by Sunday, Nov. 13. Those interested can apply at cityoftacoma.org/cbcapplication or by contacting Amanda Punsalan at (253) 591-5178. HELP METRO PARKS IMPROVE PARKING AT POINT DEFIANCE Already, the park draws about 3.1 million visitors annually, a number expected to increase with the 2018 opening of the Pacific Seas Aquarium and a new peninsula park next to Tacoma Yacht Club. So Metro Parks Tacoma and its consultants are exploring ways to make it easier for visitors to avoid parking headaches. The public is invited to consider both short-term and long-term options and provide feedback at 6 p.m. Dec. 1 in the park’s Pagoda. “If you visit or cherish Point Defiance Park and parking concerns you, please come to this meeting, learn about proposed solutions and tell us what you think,” said Erik Hanberg, president of the Metro Parks Tacoma Board of Commissioners. “Projects now underway, such as the new Pacific Seas Aquarium, are likely to draw more visitors, so we must prepare. If you have suggestions, we’re eager to hear them.” The meeting is the second in a series of public sessions seeking suggestions from park users and others who care about how Metro Parks deals with park traffic and increased visitation. The first meeting, held in September, focused on plans for a new pedestrian and bicycle pathway. The third meeting – to be scheduled later – will consider modifications to vehicular traffic patterns. The goal is to make it easier for visitors to safely get to and from their favorite park destinations, whether they choose to walk or ride. The focus on traffic and parking grew in part out of the park’s 2015 master plan update, which highlighted the need for improved vehicular circulation and additional parking. “We’re planning for the future and also looking for short-term solutions to alleviate current problems,” said Tom Dargan, the Metro Parks project manager leading the process. Point Defiance Park now has about 1,500 parking spaces. As capital projects are completed and attendance grows, Metro Parks projects a need for approximately 1,000 more stalls. In the short-term, possible solutions include temporary parking lots and a shuttle-bus system to carry passengers between those lots and popular park attractions such as Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. Sites under consideration for short-term parking include the area east of the ferry access road, also known as the triangle, and the former Camp 6 site, which is now used as an overflow lot for the Zoo and where portable classrooms of the Science and Math Institute (SAMI) are located. Long-term solutions under consideration include increased Pierce Transit service inside the park and a multi-level parking structure within the area of the SEE MORE BULLETIN BOARD ITEMS ON PAGE A5

PIERCE COUNTY DEPUTIES SEARCHING FOR ACCUSED HOME BURGLAR By David Rose

Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

If not for an alert neighbor, an accused burglar in Parkland might have gone unidentified. Pierce County detectives say that sharpeyed citizen on 117th Street South foiled Bounme Xaiyavong’s home break-in. DAVID ROSE “Fortunately for us, the neighbor saw him carrying some pillow cases and knew he didn’t belong where he was and confronted him. He didn’t get in a fight with him, or try and stop him, but he did snap some photographs of him,” said Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer. “The weird part about this case is when they left the scene they ended up getting in a hit and run accident in the getaway vehicle. The person

who saw them got a good description of them when they switched drivers and fled, so we were able to catch up with them a little later on, and we were able to get the female driver, the getaway driver, detained. The suspect got away, but we believe he’s trafficking the stolen property and he is burglarizing residents, so we’ve identified him and we’re hoping the public can help us get him caught.” Xaiyavong is 30 years old, 5-feet and 9-inches tall and 165 pounds. He has a large tattoo of the numbers "1986" across his throat. He’s wanted for residential burglary, theft in the second degree and obstructing law enforcement. If you know how to help deputies find him before he’s breaking into someone else’s home, call an anonymous tip into Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. There is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest.

MAN SENTENCED TO MORE THAN 26 YEARS IN PRISON FOR 2015 MURDER Jonathan Daniel Harris, 30, was sentenced to 316 months in prison on Oct. 31 for the murder of Nichole White in June of 2015. The sentence is the high end of the sentencing range. Harris pleaded guilty to second degree murder on July 28, 2016. He subsequently made a motion to withdraw his plea of guilty, which the court heard and denied on Aug. 24. Harris also brought a motion for evaluation of his competency, and the court found him to be competent on Oct. 28. “Mr. Harris knew what he was doing the night he killed Nicole White. And he knew what he was doing when he pled guilty,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “The sentence is just.” On June 6, White picked Harris up from his home and they drove to Jeepers Country Bar and Grill in Spanaway. Several hours later, witnesses saw the two leave the bar together in White’s car. She never made it home and was reported missing on June 7. Over the next two weeks, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, the FBI and volunteers conducted an

extensive search. On June 20, a K-9 from a volunteer search and rescue team found White’s body at the bottom of wooded ravine south of Lake Kapowsin. Her body was wrapped in a green tarp and was severely decomposed. Detectives believe that after the two left the bar, they drove back to Harris’ house. He beat White to death and wrapped her in the tarp. Harris loaded White into her car, drove to the wooded area and rolled her down the ravine. Then, he drove her car off the side of the road near his house and walked home. The next day, according to cell phone records and data stored on the ignition interlock device in his vehicle, Harris drove his car back to the site where he dumped White’s body. During a search of Harris’ home, detectives located the sweatshirt he was wearing at the bar the night White disappeared. DNA from blood on the sweatshirt was a match to White.

COP TALK: LEGAL ISSUES REMAIN WITH CANNABIS LEGALIZATION By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

(Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: Staff writer Steve Dunkelberger is attending the seven-week University Place Public Safety and Criminal Justice Community Academy class and will highlight the issues facing law enforcement officers and communities along the way. Tacoma has a similar program every fall as well.) Washington began allowing the recreational use of marijuana in 2014 after voters approved Initiative 502 in late 2012. More states are likely to decriminalize marijuana later this month. Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska allow recreational use of marijuana, while medical uses are legal in 26 states. Florida, Arkansas and North Dakota could join the states to allow medical uses while California, Arizona, Nevada, Massachusetts and Maine could loosen their medical-pot rules to allow recreational use. The loosening of state laws regarding marijuana is adding to the pressure for the federal government to change its stance as well. In Washington, adults over the age of 21 can buy and use marijuana and pot-products in licensed retailers. The industry has generated some $324 million in taxes on more than $1 billion in retail sales this year. But the rules are still new and the industry is still evolving, so it will likely take several years to hash out a legal system that allows access to until-recently-illegal drugs, but punishes people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow the rules much the same way as alcohol being legal but making bathtub moonshine being a crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We figured it out with alcohol,â&#x20AC;? Pierce County Special Investigation Unit Deputy Kris Nordstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to figure out that happy medium with marijuana.â&#x20AC;? One trouble, for example, is the manufacturing of marijuana dabs, a highly concentrated paste that can be created by filtering butane through marijuana buds to create a fluid that is then heated to bubble off the butane. Done correctly, the paste has a potency many times more than when it had in plant form. Done wrong and the process explodes much like a methamphetamine lab, although since butane is largely odorless and colorless, it makes it hard to detect leaks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Static electricity is enough to set it off,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said. One such explosion in Puyallup in 2014 was so large it made national news. People were making hash oil at a residential neighborhood along Shaw Road when a spark ignited the butane fumes that then caught fire and spread to 300 unused cans of butane. The resulting explosion sent cans are far as 155 yards away. State lawmakers last year then cracked down on the use of butane by citing safety concerns about explosions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is one way the state sought to put the cat back in the bag,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said, adding that several fire departments in the state have sought restriction on the

COPS AND CANNABIS. Deputy Kris Nordstrom has become an expert on marijuana as a member of Pierce Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Investigation Unit.

sale of butane cans in much the same way retailers began restricting the sale of cold medicines years ago, since they are used in the creation of methamphetamine. Another issue is the allowable pesticide levels in cannabis products, especially in hash oils since the manufacturing process not only increases the drugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potency, but also amplifies the concentration of the chemicals sprayed on the plants as they grew. The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board tested 27 products for pesticides and found 15 of them failed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That scares the hell out of me,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said. Since marijuana is still listed as an illegal drug by federal agencies, retailers are largely locked out of standard banking systems. That means shops have large amounts of cash on hand, making them targets for robberies and burglaries. One recent case in University Place, for example, involved the armed robbery of an elderly woman, who allowed her grandson to store in her house some $80,000 in cash he had generated from his marijuana shop, with no way to deposit the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are really stuck between a rock and a hard place,â&#x20AC;? Nordstrom said, about shops following the law, but hampered by the conflict between state and federal views on marijuana and the regulatory minefield the industry faces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think most of them are doing it right.â&#x20AC;?

The Tacoma City Council has asked for an outside audit of Tacoma Public Utilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cost allocation methods regarding Click Network as a step to move forward with plans to upgrade the system so it can directly compete with commercial Internet, cable and phone providers. Councilmember Conor McCarthy first pitched the idea of hiring an outside auditor to dive into the revenue-loss spreadsheets, the value of the system and the expense allocation percentages between Tacoma Power and Click with a council resolution last month that was jointly backed by councilmembers Anders Ibsen, Keith Blocker and Victoria Woodards. "This is not a pretext for delay," McCarthy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is simply taking one more step in the analysis of this enterprise before we make a pretty significant decision.â&#x20AC;? TPU commissioners had approved, on a 3-2 vote in September, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;allinâ&#x20AC;? recommendation to the council that called for Tacoma Power to cover the ongoing operational costs and the $6 million to $10 million a year to upgrade and operate the system until it became profitable. The upgrades would allow Click to begin offering communication packages directly to customers rather than the current practice of wholeselling bandwidth on the municipally owned fiber optic network to Internet Service Providers

Our View

OUR DEMOCRACY IS BROKEN AND ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OUR FAULT

The nation is just days away from selecting its next president. The bitter snips and barbed jabs on social media will finally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hopefully â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be replaced with cat videos and photos of tacos in their various forms. The presidential race of 2016 just might be reviewed by future history classes as the low point of the body politic that Alexander Hamilton called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the grand experimentâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what we call democracy in America. The nation was formed on the ideal that government could be formed â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the people, for the peopleâ&#x20AC;? but likely never considered what happens when the people simply opt out of the whole affair. Sure, about 80 percent of registered voters will turn in ballots for the White Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next resident, but that rate will likely drop by half in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election season that will put school board members, law makers and municipal leaders in office, as well as decide the fate of school buildings and equipment that first responders will need to respond to emergencies. Those decisions are apparently less important to voters than who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Far too many people have opted out of the political process or civic engagement of any sort for that matter. And we all suffer for it because we ultimately get the government we accept. The majority of people elligible to vote hand over that decision making responsibility to someone else, only to then gripe about the outcome they manifested by opting out of their civic obligation. Democracy only works if people understand that they have a role in the process. Just like the creation of vibrant and healthy neighborhoods, people have to be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and stay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; involved and engaged in solving problems to draft solutions that their nation, states, cities and streets face. There are fewer ways to stay so engaged better than volunteering for whatever cause or topic someone holds dear. The idea of requiring some sort of national or military services as a condition of citizenship in the way of countries like Israel, Mexico, Germany and South Korea, has long been the fodder of academic papers in this country and has never gained traction. We are a nation that prides itself on individualism after all, but there is some merit to pondering the idea. Maybe volunteers receive tax breaks or tuition breaks rather than earn the right to vote. The reward really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as important as the byproduct such service would create. Cities with tight budgets could have cleaner streets and alley ways from the efforts of volunteer trash brigades. Children could have one-onone mentors, thanks to people spending a few hours a week helping young children learn how to read, or rebuild car transmissions. Neighborhoods would be safer with thousands of whistle-carrying walkers strolling the streets in search of troublemakers. But also, these volunteers will gain a sense of being more connected to their neighbors and by extension, their nation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; connections that feed the drive to vote and get more engaged. Decisions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made by the masses. They are made by those who show up, and far too many people are absent without leave in that regard. Promoting volunteerism could change that.

DECISION â&#x20AC;&#x2122;16 76.83% HILLARY CLINTON 19.83% DONALD TRUMP 2.08% GARY JOHNSON 1.25% JILL STEIN

Clinton tops Trump in local poll The results of the Tacoma Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online, and therefore nonscientific, poll have been tallied. Hillary Clinton retained her lead to the end with 76.83 percent of the vote, over Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19.83 percent in this final accumulation of weekly updates. Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party Jill Stein failed to gain much local traction, with Johnson peaking with just 2 percent and Stein tallying just 1.25 percent. The election will be held Nov. 8.

By Tom H. Hastings Watching the 2016 campaign is hypnotically akin to the gawker slowdown that affects traffic with the slightest accident. Rubbernecking the three most recent Trump offenses in any given week has given America an entirely new hobby. â&#x20AC;˘ He might be insulting KIA Muslim American soldiers or their parents, as he did with Capt. Humayun Khan. That was brilliant. Tack on his clumsy idiocy about John McCain, telling us that he, Trump, prefers pilots who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get captured. Does he not realize he sounds like a sociopathic son of Saddam with these chickenhawk utterances? â&#x20AC;˘ He might be mocking people with disabilities, as he did with reporter Serge Kovaleski. That took courage. Trump, for all his bluster and pomposity, is a profile in pusillanimity.

BAD HOMBRE â&#x20AC;˘ Inexplicably meeting with Enrique PeĂąa Nieto, President of Mexico, without bringing up The Wall heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed against all the rapists crossing the border now, The Wall that Trump decides unilaterally that Mexico will pay for. Ineffable.

â&#x20AC;˘ He really fixed that when he called Pope Francis â&#x20AC;&#x153;disgracefulâ&#x20AC;? for the Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critique of the proposed Wall. Just to continue with the Catholic vote, he managed to be the first candidate in memory to get booed at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation traditional candidate roast. â&#x20AC;˘ Perhaps his basket of deplorable comments about women in general and specifically. Maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caught on tape bragging about his womangroping. Donald! Basic Groper manners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; get permission, then grope away. Calling Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe, Miss Piggy. Women are loving you, Donald. Referring to Carly Fiorina, he said,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?â&#x20AC;? (OMG, Trump, look in the mirror when you say that and same thing when you call someone a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nasty woman.â&#x20AC;?) â&#x20AC;˘ Luckily, he is on top of the refugees-as-terrorists-in-the-US crisis. Oh, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. Zero terror attacks by refugees inside the US to date. Looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been vetted adequately, so far, despite his hysteria.

We could go on, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just leave it with a secret for The Donald: Oscar Wilde was brilliant, but your devotion to his erroneous dictum, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no such thing as bad publicity,â&#x20AC;? is your political undoing. You have your base of basket cases and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. Michelle, you get four years off for great behavior but we want to see you run in 2020. No one could heal this nation better. Tom H. Hastings is Founding Director of PeaceVoice.

MILLENNIALS RESURRECTING WHISKEY

By Don C. Brunell

Last month while touring Ireland, our guide proudly pointed out that Irish whiskey is making a strong comeback and thanked us, Americans, for our hefty contribution to their sales and shipments. Irish whiskey, even though its volumes are less than scotch and bourbon, is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing major spirit. Production shot up by 130 percent since 2005. Of course, the Irish are quick to point out, the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prohibition laws between 1920 and 1933 were a big reason Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whiskey sales dried up in the first place. All friendly jousting aside, there are now 16 distilleries in Ireland and Northern Ireland with 11 more on the drawing board, according to the Irish Whiskey Association. There were four just three years ago. A big reason for the resurgence is Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 76 million millennials who prefer wine and whiskey over beer. Even though beer is still the top seller among alcoholic beverages, Barclayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research shows 18-29 year olds have been shifting away from it over the last two decades. In 1995, seven out of 10 young Americans listed beer as their preferred alcohol drink and only 13 percent favored liquor. By 2013, the beer preference plunged to 40 percent. The millennials trend is good news for Washington State as well. The important caveat is as long as eligible

drinkers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overly consume, drive while intoxicated, or become addicted. The shift from beer helps our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning wine industry, which is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest producer of premium labels. There are over 900 wineries and last year Washington State University reported the total economic impact of the Washington State wine industry was $4.8 billion in 2013, up from $3.5 billion in 2009. That same report found total jobs supported by the wine industry reached 25,900 in 2013 and it contributed $61.9 million in state taxes, including both direct payments and that of businesses supported by wine and related activities. Then two years ago, the Seattle Times carried a headline: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boutique booze boom in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;Ś.with more than 100 small distilleries opening in the last six years, Washington is leading the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;farm-to-tumblerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movement.â&#x20AC;? One of the distillers that Times reporter Tan Vinh wrote about is Emerson Lamb, owner of Seattle Sodoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westland Distillery. Lamb, originally from Hoquiam, believes Washington can produce the same high quality premium single malt (one distillery) whiskey. Washington, Ireland and Scotland west coast maritime climates are very similar and well suited to producing premium whiskey. Researchers at Washington State and Oregon State universities confirmed Lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game changer,â&#x20AC;? WSU researcher Stephen Jones

told the Timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vinh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening up a whole new world. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to look at Tennessee and Kentucky for high-quality whiskeys. We can do it right here.â&#x20AC;? Many northwest distillers believe they can dominate the single malt market much like Kentucky controls the bourbon market. WSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jones told the Times that the maritime climate from Vancouver, Wash., to Vancouver, B.C., is ideal for growing the barley strains that have low protein and high starch, the same types that produce a â&#x20AC;&#x153;complex flavor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sweet, but not white-sugar sweet.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barley is the most complex and flavorful grain in the whiskey-making process. And the state of Washington grows world-class barley,â&#x20AC;? Lamb added. Washington and Ireland have opportunities in whiskey. They have the clientele to grow a prosperous spirits industry as long as government policies, taxes and permit fees are reasonable. The caution is both tax liquor heavily. In Ireland, revenue from six out of every 10 bottle sold goes to pay taxes. Washington imposes the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest excise tax on spirits at $35.22 per gallon. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, This is a long overdue big thank you for all the work Redline has performed to protect our city from ill-conceived industrial development. This community appreciates all the benefits of living in a clean, productive and vibrant area. We still strive to clear our air, land and water and keep it free of petrochemicals. We struggle to understand why our elected officials of the City of Tacoma and the Port of Tacoma are lurching in the opposite direction. Perhaps they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember Pittsburgh during the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. Maybe they have never visited Calumet City, Ill., Gary, Ind., or Mobile Bay, Ala. These places will still be cleaning up in the year 3000. The liquefied natural gas plant, as the methanol plant before it, is not about jobs. There are plenty of living wage jobs to be had if employers would open their glutted coffers and invest here at home rather than hiding it overseas or hoarding it to build Manhattan high-rises for foreign oligarchs or vice-versa. (See the New York Times, 10/25/2016, Business Section). No, the proposed PSE LNG is about a foreign-owned

company breaking their contract with us and opening our port to unregulated industrial development and pollution, while keeping their impact on the air, water, and land of this area behind closed doors. Another nasty secret is the impact on utility ratepayers. These are the most egregious of faults â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are many others. After learning how our elected officials have interpreted the scope and clandestine nature of positions, I am skeptical of anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built on the Tideflats without a full, transparent published environmental review and an imprimatur by the local Board of Health. Thank you, Redline Tacoma. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Tacoma to look like Pompeii after Vesuvius erupted. Redline Tacoma is a voluntary, non-profit, genuine citizen-action group with no axe to grind other than the safety, healthy, and beauty of our area. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud to be living here where ordinary people care so much. Thank you, Redline Tacoma. We owe you. Diane Tourje Tacoma (Hilltop), WA

NEWEST MEDIALAB FILM WARNS OF TROUBLED WATERS By Michelle McGrath PLU Class of 2017

A native of Gig Harbor and the daughter of a commercial fisherman, Rachel Lovrovich has spent much of her life in, on and around water. But like many, Lovrovich, a junior at Pacific Lutheran University (PLU), says not until she began seriously researching water and related issues did she discover that many major water sources in North America and around the world are in serious trouble. “More than half of our rivers and important waterways in the United States are highly polluted,” says Lovrovich, “and in most instances, it’s people that have caused these problems. We need to start taking responsibility for our actions.” This realization is what prompted Lovrovich and four other PLU students to produce a new documentary film titled “Changing Currents: Protecting North America’s Rivers,” set to premiere at on Saturday, Nov. 12, 4 p.m. at Theatre on the Square in downtown Tacoma. “Changing Currents” marks the 13th documentary film produced by MediaLab, PLU’s applied research and media production program, which is celebrating its 10th year of existence this fall. Among many startling facts about waterways in Northwest and elsewhere, “Changing Currents” finds that more than half of the 250,000 rivers in the U.S. are too polluted for swimming, fishing or drinking. Many rivers suffer from decreased flows caused by climate change, as well as a host of other problems such as: invasive species, industrial waste, sewage overflows, and storm-water runoff from roads and highways, which introduces oil, gasoline and other chemicals into the water. Rivers considered threatened or endangered include the Mississippi River, the

St. Lawrence River, the Ohio River, the Columbia River, and here in Western Washington, the Green River, from which many of us who live and work in the South Puget Sound Region receive our water. “Changing Currents” also explores some compelling restoration efforts occurring in communities across the continent. The film was shot over 14 months in and around Tacoma, as well as on location in Portland, Washington, D.C., upstate New York, Ontario, Massachusetts, Virginia, Ohio, and Vancouver, B.C., just to name a few. In addition to Lovrovich, who served as the film’s creative director and is also the

The Gallery Glass and Wares will carry over the Gallery’s boutique feel, and offer items that go a long with the smoking lifestyle, everything from t-shirts to high-quality chocolate. “It’s called the Gallery Glass and Wares, our goal is to turn the marijuana buying business into a real experience with a boutique feel. Current state regulations limit what we can sell, the type of items. What it’s limited to are marijuana use material. We wanted a more boutique feel, hemp candles and lotions and t-shirts, even high end chocolate bars, things that go a long with that life style high class boutique feel, were looking to change buying patterns and cater to every customer,” Manager Mike Henery said. The grand opening for the new glass shop will take place on Nov. 5, and if the celebration, prizes and wares aren’t enough, the special guest is sure to bring plenty of attention to

the shop. “We have a Grand opening Nov. 5, we’re really excited because 2 Chainz is coming for our grand opening. We’ll have specials and drawings for people coming that day, including going into a private green room with 2 Chainz,” Henery said. The appearance of 2Chainz makes the grand opening the place to be on Nov. 5, but there will be plenty of other wares even if you don’t end up winning that trip to the green room with 2 Chainz. The Gallery is already a successful marijuana shop in the area, and this expansion is just the next step in transforming marijuana purchasing into a high-end business. “We’re going to continue The Gallery theme, high end art high class industrial feel, a boutiquey feel with gift ware that everyone in this lifestyle ls gonna want. It opens up a destination is what it does,” Henery said. The Gallery in Tacoma is open from Monday through Saturday fro 9 a.m. to 11p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Spanaway store , located at 21802 Mountain Highway E, is open those same hours. The Gallery Glass and Wares does not have its hours set quite yet, but will when the grand opening arrives.

UP VETERANS TO HOLD FLAPJACK FUNDRAISER FOR MEMORIAL PLAZA By Derek Shuck

derek@tacomaweekly.com

The UP Veterans Plaza Committee would like to invite one and all to attend a Flapjack Fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 12 at Applebees, located at 3819 Bridgeport Way. The price is $10 and includes two pancakes with syrup and butter, scrambled eggs, two strips of bacon, two sausages, with a choice of milk, juice or coffee. All proceeds will go to the fund for the Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Plaza, a project undertaken by the University Place Veterans Committee, located just south of the intersection of Cirque Drive and Bridgeport Way West, in the right-of-way park located on the west side of Bridgeport Way SW com-

County Council. Now 87, Moss has a 104-page autobiography out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fighting For Dreams That Matteredâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that could have been much longer. In fact, it was once. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The book was longer. I had 10 copies printed for my family, and they talked me into taking out some passages,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parts about my wives, for instance. My sisters cussed me out for what I wrote about the ones they liked. Some things were edited.â&#x20AC;? There have been four wives, one he married and divorced twice. At one point, Moss loved each, and when he was in love he almost always wound up married. When Moss got to the Northwest and Fort Lewis, he was a dental technician and assigned to the medical corps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to billet with an all-black combat unit because there was no billet for blacks in the medical unit,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that time, nearby cities like Tillicum and Lakewood simply didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rent to blacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and there was no recourse. You might fill out an application to rent and as you left see it thrown in the waste basket.â&#x20AC;? By 1951, Moss was married to a woman from Detroit, Bil, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d known only a few months. With both working, they saved money for a home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We eventually decided weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d build a small home, so we were looking for a lot in Tacoma,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could live in the area where blacks were welcome, or try to live where we wanted. We loved a lot on a hill we found, but the owner flat-out told us he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell to Negroes, because if he

monly known as the Drum Road Greenway Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a large number of veterans here in University Place and we want to honor their service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a flag plaza with flags for all the services so we can honor those who went into service and their sacrifice and their families,â&#x20AC;? Schwartz said. The anticipated cost of the plaza is approximately $110,000 if the committee were to pay full retail for all labor and materials. The committee anticipates that much of the manual labor needed to reshape the existing park into a formal memorial plaza will be provided by volunteer groups and individuals. Many of the major project pieces (flag poles, stone pylons, benches, etc.) have already been donated. Local suppliers have committed to provide their products either free or at substantial

did, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to sell the rest of his lots to whites.â&#x20AC;? Weeks later, Moss found a poster advertising to sell a small home. When Moss and Bil made an offer, however, the seller said selling to a black family would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a breach of friendshipâ&#x20AC;? to his neighbors. Moss eventually built a home on that first lot. How? He gave money to a lightskinned black friend who often passed as white, who then purchased the land â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and signed it over to Moss. Moss opened small businesses around Tacoma as a dental ceramist, got that Urban League chapter going and raised two sons with Bil. In 1970, Tacoma recalled five city council members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Moss was appointed to fill one of those seats. Re-elected the next year, he served until 1975 then returned to his business. In 1987, Moss was appointed to another council vacancy then won re-election twice. When close friend Jack Hyde won election in 1993 as Tacoma mayor, he told Moss he wanted him as his deputy. Moss agreed. A few weeks later, Hyde died in his sleep â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Moss was named his successor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack was a good, good friend,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He died in his sleep two weeks after taking office. I drove to his home and had to pull over because I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see through the tears.â&#x20AC;? The challenges kept coming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so did the weddings. Moss and Bil split up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain why it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After 22 years, we argued so much I thought it was just part of life. We argued about everything.â&#x20AC;? At an Urban League conference in New Orleans, he met Nancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in love, she was in shock. I drove her crazy building things. She once said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If

reduction in cost. The committee also hopes to receive donations from the construction community in and around University Place to donate their expertise and skilled labor for the installation of some key project elements and systems. Some of the skilled labor items needed are project construction management, concrete flat work, paver tile setting work and electrical work. The funding for the plaza is about a quarter of the way to completion, but still needs about $80,000 to reach its funding goal. The Flapjack Fundraiser is just one of many events the committee is hoping to use to bridge the gap. For ticket information, call organizer Bob Schwartz at (253) 381-6453.

it was standing, he wanted to nail something to it,â&#x20AC;? Moss said, shaking his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She realized pretty quickly sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rushed into something she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready for.â&#x20AC;? Their divorce was amicable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harolyn worked at the Urban League. We were at the same parties, and she was so much fun,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went off to Reno and got married, and it lasted 12-13 years. We just drifted apart.â&#x20AC;? When Moss got back in touch with Bil, his sisters said he was crazy. Then he remarried her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a big-ass wedding,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought with the kids raised, the fact that we both had money, loved each other, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have nothing to argue about. Right after the honeymoon, it started all over again.â&#x20AC;? Divorce No. 4 followed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genie? I saw her waiting by an elevator and it was all over for me,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not once in the past 12 years has either of us raised our voice to the other. I was 72-73 years old when we met and she was 21 years younger. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother her. I was in love from our first meeting.â&#x20AC;? If he has gotten marriage right at last, he is aware of the emotional carnage he left behind. Moss does not avoid looking back.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still love Tacoma,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made such good friends, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed life here for minorities. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a bitter person â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I succeeded beyond any expectations.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fighting For Dreams That Matteredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is available at Amazon.com.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

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

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

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

employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more.

From sponsoring local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as “the generous people,” the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.”

PARTNERING TO ENHANCE LOCAL TRANSPORTATION Partnering with local jurisdictions to improve local transportation over the past seven years, the Tribe has spent more than $40 million on transportation projects and traffic safety services in neighboring areas. These are largely done in collaboration with state and local governments to benefit the region’s growing traffic infrastructure, which helps everyone. Projects range from lighting and safety improvements to bridges and reconstruction projects, providing hundreds of jobs to local engineers, tradesmen, environmental and cultural resource consultants, construction contractors, and the like. Examples of the Tribe’s expenditures over the past seven years to completed and ongoing projects include: 30TH STREET SAFETY PROJECT, TACOMA Paving, lighting, ADA access, replacement of sidewalks on both sides of 30th Avenue from Portland Avenue to R Street, and one side of 31st Avenue, including relocation

of public utilities. Permitted through the City of Tacoma. The project was completed spring of 2013. 31ST STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT, TACOMA 31st Street was a failed road that has received repavement, curb and stormwater facilities, street trees, and relocation of public utilities. Permitted through the City of Tacoma. The project was completed in summer 2015. EAST ROOSEVELT/EAST WRIGHT STREET IMPROVEMENTS & MAINTENANCE WORK The Tribe committed $15,000 to replace a failing section of Roosevelt that was important for access to the Tribal Health Clinic. A new asphalt overlay was applied, alongside curb improvements and alleyway paving. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING & COLLABORATION WITH STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS I-5 HOV Project, Tacoma and Fife: Tribal staff has

worked with WSDOT regarding HOV improvements on I-5. East Side Community Projects: Tribal staff is working with the City of Tacoma with respect to long-range transportation planning involving several city streets. Additional Transportation Planning and Administration: Tribal staff works in collaboration with a number of federal, state and local government agencies to plan and administer transportation projects in the region. Inspection Services: The Puyallup Tribe pays for City of Tacoma inspectors for road project oversight; fees to exceed $100,000. Port of Tacoma Emergency Response ITS Study: The Puyallup Tribe has committed $75,000 to partner with the City of Tacoma, Port of Tacoma, and local port businesses to study emergency vehicle response in the Port of Tacoma tide flats area to address safety concerns and increase local police & fire response.

TRIBE, WSDOT PARTNER TO IMPROVE TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY In keeping with their mutual agreement reached in 2014, the Puyallup Tribe and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) continue to partner on WSDOT’s HOV construction project on Interstate 5 on the Puyallup Indian Reservation. The agreement provides that work will be conducted in a manner respectful of the Tribe’s lands and treaty rights. For example, in late 2015 WSDOT crews focused on several excavation activities with the Tribe’s archaeological monitors present during the work. The agreement further conveys several parcels of land to the Tribe to offset the lost use of lands on which the Tribe has given WSDOT easements for the project. A right of first refusal gives the Tribe an opportunity to purchase additional lands. The agreement deals particularly with replacement of Interstate 5 bridges across the Puyallup River, as the bridges are more than 50 years old and would not withstand the impact of a serious earthquake. The new bridges will provide a much greater degree of safety in such an event, and the HOV lanes will improve transportation significantly in the area. In addition to providing room for one HOV lane on this portion of I-5, as part of this project WSDOT will also rebuild the northbound I-5 Puyallup River Bridge to make it straighter and wider than the existing bridge; improve the I-5/Portland Avenue interchange; and repave all the lanes of northbound I-5 within the project limits. Construction of the first bridge shafts for the new northbound I-5 bridge over the river has started near State Route 167, and work on the new ramp bridge from northbound I-5 to SR 167 is also progressing. Part of the agreement is to protect the fishery habitat and resource and to preserve Tribal members’ opportunity

to fish, a right guaranteed by the Treaty of Medicine Creek. To accomplish those goals, WSDOT has focused its work in the Puyallup River at times other than fishing season and fish migration periods. The work will use construction methods that minimize impact on the resource. With the project to rebuild the bridge will come in-water work in the Puyallup River that WSDOT is keeing tribal fishermen informed of. This work includes monitoring equipment for water quality to be placed in the water to meet water quality standards for the river established by the Tribe and by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The placement of floating booms will outline an 80-foot channel for boats and behind the booms temporary work platforms will be constructed on both sides of the river. Isolation casings for the in-water bridge piers will also be installed. STATE ROUTE 167 In 2015, Gov. Jay Inslee formally signed a transportation package that will flow $16.2 billion toward roads and transportation routes around the state for the next 16 years. On the roster of projects slated for those dollars is the final leg of State Route 167 that would provide a roadway between the distribution and warehouse hubs of Kent and Auburn to Port of Tacoma waters. The Tribe is working with the state and other partners to ensure that the project remains a top priority and again remains respectful of the Tribe’s lands and treaty rights. The funding package includes $1.85 billion to continue the SR 167 roadway, which currently ends just short of the waterway. The roadway had been first pondered back in the 1970s. Construction started in the 1980s only to stall ever since. It was called a “top priority” for lawmakers for the last generation only to go unfunded year after year

for the last 25 years. The Tribe, Port officials, business groups and transportation boosters have lobbied for the roadway as a way for the state to be competitive for international shipping traffic, which could avoid transportation delays found through the Puget Sound by routing cargo through Canadian ports and eventually route larger ships through the Panama Canal. Washington is the most tradedependent state in the nation, with 40 percent of jobs related to international trade. Pierce County is the most trade-dependent county in the state, so any threat to that industry raises alarms for businesses and lawmakers alike. The project will receive $2.5 million between now and 2017 and then ramp up to a peak of $395 million between 2021 and 2023 during the main construction period with a final $200 million between 2029 and 2031 to finalize the work. Washington State Department of Transportation estimates a completed SR 167 could fuel job growth to the tune of $10.1 billion.

million. City officials took baseline data regarding property values, retail sales taxes and quality of life before the work started as a way to then compare those figures to those collected after the city investments spark private improvements to gauge success of the effort. “Our hope is that all of the numbers on that matrix will rise,” said Tacoma development specialist Debbie Bingham. The city will, for example, start work in the spring on the $4.5 million streetscape plan along South 38th Street that will include landmark entrances to the 38th Street business strip at Fawcett and J Streets, public art, benches and sidewalks as well as street trees and planters. The idea is to have the municipally funded improvements spark drives in area residents and businesses residents to do likewise with their properties. Residents in the area who don’t have the finances to improve their homes could receive interest-free loans of up to $25,000 or low-interest loans of up to $20,000 for down payment assistance to transition from renters to owners. Qualified businesses in the area could use the project’s Façade Improvement Program to receive 10-year loans of up to $50,000 or 50 percent to help cover improvement costs at a below market rate of 3 percent. The neighborhood also has a host of high-profile and historical locations that have been either vacant or underused for decades. While seen by neighborhoods as historic, none of the targeted structures have been formally designated as such. Chief among them is the Rex Theater, a former movie venue for which city officials will actively seek private investors to bring new life into the former community hub. The Rex, at 3809 S. Yakima Ave., was built in 1919 and sported 650 seats that allowed theatergoers to see first-run movies before closing its doors in 1958. The theater was state of the art for its time, and it even had a nursery where parents could tend to their children in a quiet room in the back while still being able to view the screen and not disrupt

other movie viewers. Times changed and multi-screen houses ruled the day, so the theater closed. The building then became the Tacoma Calvary Temple for 20 years before becoming an adult movie theater in 1980 under the name Rex "Playtime" Theatre. The Rex then changed uses again to be home to a series of churches, most recently Restoration Christian Ministries, which no longer uses the facility. The building has recently sold and the investment group is investigating options. “They don’t have any plans yet, but they have some investigating going on right now,” Debbie Bingham. Other historical and cultural buildings in the neighborhood that have been noted as key projects for renovation and reuse include the Vien Dong restaurant site, at 3801 Yakima Ave. and the F.H. Horsfall building, at 801 S. 38th St., which was designed by the famed architectural firm of Heath, Gove and Bel in 1916, according to project documents.

Owners of the Vien Dong building are exploring ways to return the second floor apartments back to the neighborhood’s housing stock after years of the units being vacant. The floor has been torn down to the studs, making needed utility and code upgrades potentially straightforward. The Horsfall remains occupied with retail on the street level and largely empty spaces on its second floor. Adding to the list of changes in the works for the Eastside, albeit outside of the Lincoln revitalization process, is likely the biggest change of all. The Eastside Community Center plans to open in

2018, through a partnership anchored by Metro Parks Tacoma, City of Tacoma, Tacoma Housing Authority, Tacoma Public Schools and Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. The $30 million center will be outside the Lincoln will located on the First Creek Middle School campus and provide recreational and educational programs as well as serve as a community hub for classes, events and forums. The next neighborhood set for revitalization is South Tacoma Way, which might include the creation of a Local Improvement District to fund improvements in the coming years.

“A program like this [Graduate Tacoma] impacts my class because it brings more awareness to the social and emotional needs of the students,” said Erin Kling, Stafford Elementary Preschool teacher. Social and emotional learning are essential for students developing a positive sense of self, promoting respectful relationships, managing emotions and making responsible decisions, according to the Washington State Department of Early Learning. Taking collaborative action to help students advance has shown itself to be a success across the board. While graduation rates rose across every ethnic demographic, the program made significant strides in closing the achievement gap between white students and students of color. While white students continue to see increases in the graduation rate, students of color are seeing larger gains, which narrows the overall gap. Out of the state's 10 largest school districts, Tacoma has the highest percentage of students that are considered living in poverty. Showing students that poverty is not destiny, a 25 percent gap between the students in poverty, and

those who are not, still exists according to the 2016 Community Impact Report released by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction & Tacoma Public Schools. With a new national record high school graduation rate of 83.2 percent, as published by the White House, the 66 schools in the Tacoma School District are on track for future success. “Now it's time to get a new goal and to continue the work that we're doing,” says Santorno. A future target is to continue to increase high school graduation rates, as well as college and technical school completion rates. Anyone interested in helping students be successful is encouraged to reach out to neighborhood schools, become a mentor or donate. To see where your help is needed, visit www.graduatetacoma.org.

RIVALRY. (top) The Tiger faithful had much to cheer about at Stadium Bowl against the Lincoln Abes. While the two teams have been in separate classifications for several years, having the two back in the same league is going to do wonders for the oldest rivalry in Tacoma.

STADIUM CLAIMS BRAGGING RIGHTS WITH LINCOLN UPSET

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

hen it is time to schedule a season opener, there are quite a few teams, regardless of sport, that try their best to make sure the opponent was spending last season near, or at, the bottom of their league’s standings. Instead of looking for a probable win over an easier opponent to open their season at home, the Tacoma Stars went big and opted to bring in the Major Arena Soccer League’s defending western conference champions. As if the excitement of a brand new season wasn’t going to be enough for Tacoma’s fans, why not ramp up the nerves and blood pressure a few notches by bringing in the league’s 2016 runner-up and a club that had defeated the Stars twice last season? By the time the two clubs made it to halftime at the ShoWare Center on Saturday, Oct. 29, the Stars led Soles de Sonora by a score of 2-1 and the atmosphere in the arena had shifted from bubbling nerves to one of excitement and awe. Not only did this Tacoma team look in mid-season form, they were clearly the aggressor against a squad that led the league with an 11-goal average last season. When the final buzzer sounded, the Stars celebrated an 8-4 victory with the 2,871 fans in attendance. It was truly a Tacoma-centric night as six of the eight goals were scored by players who have called Tacoma their home long before being signed by the Stars. Franklin Pierce and Pacific Lutheran alum Derek Johnson notched two goals. Former Stadium Tiger Jamael Cox also scored two goals. Wilson Hall of Famer Joey Gjertsen also netted himself a goal, while former University of Puget Sound Logger Vincent McCluskey also got into the act with a netter. One would be hard-pressed to find a stat line like that anywhere around the MASL on opening night. Soles de Sonora got on the board first just three minutes into the match. Midfielder Daniel Lopez rifled a shot past goalkeeper Danny Waltman and the former MASL Pacific Division champs had a 1-0 lead. It would take over nine minutes for Tacoma to find the equalizer when defender Chase Hanson fed Johnson a pass that the striker blasted off the far post and into the net to knot the game at 1-1.

It’s been 102 years since the first gridiron battle between Stadium High School and what was then known as Lincoln Park High School on Nov. 7, 1914. Stadium put a 28-0 shutout on Lincoln and the crosstown rivalry was born. It wouldn’t take long before crowds exceeding 10,000 were a regular occurrence when the two schools met for the annual Thanksgiving Day game. While the game is played a month earlier than a century ago, and the crowds aren’t quite what they used to be, the old rivalry was given a quick shot in the arm on Friday, Oct. 28 when the upstart Stadium Tigers pulled off a stunning upset over the freshly crowned 3A Pierce County League (PCL) champion Lincoln Abes by a score of 28-14. It wasn’t so much the fact that the Tigers had upset Lincoln at Stadium Bowl, it was how they did it. Stadium was in attack mode from the opening whistle and controlled the ebb and flow of the game throughout. The fact that the Tigers fell short of scoring on three straight drives to open the contest; with each drive ending in an incompletion at the goal-line or in the end-zone, made the victory by the Stadium even more impressive. Despite the loss, Lincoln still owns the top seed from the PCL to the first round of the playoffs. The Abes (7-2, 6-1 PCL) will

PLU ERASES LATE DEFICIT FOR WIN OVER RIVAL LOGGERS The Pacific Lutheran University football team scored three touchdowns in the final four minutes of the Battle of the South Sound against the University of Puget Sound to emerge with the 31-20 victory over the crosstown rivals at Sparks Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 29. Quarterback Walker LaVoy was forced into action after Cole Chandler left the game in the first quarter. LeVoy was more than up to the task, going 13-for-22 with 181 passing yards and three touchdowns, along with 21 yards rushing on seven attempts. “To come into a situation like that,” PLU head coach Scott Westering said. “He only got a couple of reps this week. The beauty is how we rose up around him.” Puget Sound (3-4, 1-4 NWC) scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth, leading the Lutes (4-3, 3-2 NWC) 20-10 with 6:10 left in the game. The comeback started when LeVoy connected with DJ Winter on a nine yard pass to cut the Logger lead to three. With 1:38 remaining the game, LeVoy dropped a dime to Kellen Westering in the back of the end zone. The 23-yard touchdown pass would prove to be the game winner. “When you have teammates like mine who trust and believe in you, you try to focus on playing the game,” LeVoy said. “Kellen is a great receiver. I gave Kellen a chance and he ended up making a play for me.” Darin Hardgrove punctuated the game with a 17-yard touchdown run with 1:09 left in the game. The touchdown gave the Lutes an 11 point lead. Hardgrove couldn’t be stopped on the ground. He ran for a careerhigh 123 yards on 20 carries. The PLU defense stood tall, holding the Puget Sound offense 339 total yards. The Loggers entered the contest averaging 500 yards per game. Travis McMillion led the way with 15 tackles. Derek Chase was also in double digits, racking up 10 tackles. Cooper Murphy put the game away with an interception and had three tackles while Isaiah Watkins collected two sacks. “It’s not about the number of interceptions I get,” Murphy said. “Finally getting one and having it close out the game felt good, but it’s about how we played as a unit.” The Lutes finish their home slate on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 1 p.m., hosting Lewis & Clark College at Sparks Stadium. The Loggers return to Baker Stadium to host seventh-ranked Linfield on Saturday, Nov. 5, on Senior Day. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. – By Christian Bond, PLU Sports. DESPITE WIN STREAK, LUTES DROP IN NATIONAL SOCCER POLL The Northwest Conference leading Pacific Lutheran University women’s soccer team is 25th in the eighth regular season installment of the NCAA Division III Top 25 rankings released on Tuesday by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Despite winning four straight games by a combined 18-1 scoreline, the Lutes (14-0-4, 11-0-3 NWC) dropped two spots in the poll to 25th as Wittenberg University (12-3-2) and Middlebury College (13-3) lunge up from receiving votes to ranking No. 21 and No. 22, respectively. The top five remained static from a week ago with William Smith College (16-0) maintaining its perceh atop the rankings. Williams College (15-0-1) is number two followed by Trinity University of Texas (17-0), Thomas More College (18-0-1) and The College of New Jersey (15-0-1). Within the regional rankings, PLU maintains its spot as fourth in the West Region. Trinity continues to hold the top position followed by Hardin-Simmons University (16-1) and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges (14-0-2). University of Puget Sound (13-2-3, 10-1-3 NWC) is the only other NWC institution in the rankings, sitting sixth in the region. PLU owns a three-point lead in the NWC standings with two games left to play. The Lutes cap off their home season against second place Puget Sound before wrapping up the regular season on Saturday, Nov. 5 at George Fox University. LAST MINUTE GOAL NETS PLU 2-1 VICTORY ON SENIOR DAY Rachel Ross found the back of the net with 42 seconds left, lifting the nationally-ranked Pacific Lutheran University women’s soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Willamette University in a Northwest Conference clash on Sunday, Oct. 30 at East Field. The visiting Bearcats (8-8-2, 5-7-2 NWC) drew first blood with Emmy Manset scoring off a rebound less than three minutes into the contest. The Lutes (14-0-4, 11-0-3 NWC) regrouped and equalized in the eighth minute with Kaylie Rozell collecting her sixth goal of the season. The two sides went into the halftime break tied despite PLU owning a 14-4 edge in shots and a 5-0 advantage in corner kicks. The Lutes continued to attack the Bearcats in the second half, finally breaking through with 42 seconds left as Rachel Ross tallied the game-winner off a corner kick from Lena Moreno. The goal was Ross’s third of the season and her second game winner in the past four games, while Moreno upped her assist tally to a NWCleading seven on the year. “It was a crazy game today,” said head coach Seth Spidahl. “Obviously it wasn’t an ideal start going down

a goal early. It can sometimes be hard to focus on Senior Day with all the emotions that go with it, which is really important, but also makes it hard sometimes to keep your sharpness and edge. Credit to Willamette, they played good today and have been playing good as of late. They didn’t make any mistakes and we had to earn both goals.” Takara Mitsui claimed the win in goal, making four saves while Willamette’s Kristen Barclay tallied eight saves while surrendering two goals. “We showed great resilience coming back from a goal down and we responded great,” said Spidahl. “We equalized early and then just kept at it all game. Fortunately at the end we were lucky enough with Rachel connecting on another great corner from Lena.” Sunday’s match was also Senior Day with the Lutes honoring Lauren Larson, Kelly White, AJ Fischer, Lena Moreno, Takara Mitsui, and Krista Morford in a pregame ceremony. PLU’s six seniors have a 54-12-12 record over the past four seasons, earning 49 shutouts while enjoying a 31-2-4 mark at East Field. “I’m really happy for the seniors to win on Senior Day,” said Spidahl. “They’re a legacy changing class. PLU women’s soccer changed when those six came on board and I couldn’t be more proud of the heights that they’ve taken the program to. And it’s all because of them as individuals, as students, as athletes, and as great people. “The people they’ve become over the past four years has been awesome and they’re exactly what our mission and our vision is to develop great people. The greatness is they’ve also won a lot of games along the way. Beyond that, I’m excited to see what new legacies they’ll continue to create because I know they’re hungry for more and want to keep this season going.” LUTES SWEEP WHITMAN TO PUSH VOLLEYBALL WIN STREAK TO FIVE The Pacific Lutheran University volleyball team extended its win streak to five on Friday night, making quick work of Whitman College and earning the 3-0 (25-13, 25-18, 25-19) victory in a Northwest Conference match inside a packed Olson Gymnasium. The Lutes (12-9, 10-3 NWC) never trailed in the opening two sets, claiming a 5-1 lead in the opening set in a 25-13 win while securing 10 of the first 11 points in the second. Capitalizing on hitting errors, Whitman (9-12, 6-7 NWC) tried to close the gap but was unable to do so as the hosts claimed the 25-18 win in set two. PLU briefly trailed in the third set before seizing control late, netting eight of the final 10 points of the set for the 25-19 win to earn the three-set sweep. “It was a very solid performance by our team tonight. I’m excited for tomorrow’s match and for our seniors Taylor Komagome and Roshel Donwen,” said Head Coach Kevin Aoki. “We need to keep it rolling.” PLU featured a balanced attack with Chloe Epker, McKenna Ventura, and Mackenzie Harris leading the attack with six kills apiece. Harris additionally tallied six blocks while Kiana Calles paced the team with 17 assists. A three-time NWC Defensive Player of the Week, Caylie Shiramizu had another strong night, leading the Lutes with 18 digs, showing exactly why she is one of the top defensive players in the conference. “Everybody played great and our chemistry on the court today was really great,” said Caylie Shiramizu.

PLAYOFFS ARRIVE FOR TACOMA HIGH SCHOOLS

The playoffs have arrived and there is a bevy of schools in several sports jockeying for a spot in their respective state tournaments. Within the bunch are a handful of favorites or contenders, as well as several longshots trying to earn a shot at some much-coveted championship hardware. The Bellarmine Lions needed a victory over the Puyallup Vikings on Friday, Oct. 28 to secure a spot in the football playoffs. A loss would end the Lions’ post-season hopes. In front of their home crowd, the Lions were able to slow down the Vikings potent offense

and punched their ticket to the playoffs with a 31-21 victory. With the win, the Lions now face a tough road ahead. Bellarmine will travel to Federal Way Memorial Field on Saturday, Nov. 5 to face Todd Beamer (8-1), the champions of the North Puget Sound League Olympic division. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Should the Lions pull off the upset, which they have been known to do in the playoffs in recent years, Bellarmine will then likely travel to undefeated Lake Stevens (9-0) the following weekend. Four Tacoma-area teams have advanced out of the 2A South Puget Sound League (SPSL). Franklin Pierce (8-1) knocked off previously undefeated and third-ranked

Seattle Optometrist Helps Legally Blind to See Again Dr. Ross Cusic, member of the IALVS, helps those with vision loss to keep reading, writing and driving. Dr. Ross Cusic is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration or other eye conditions. “Some of my patients consider me the last stop for people who have vision loss,” said Dr. Cusic, a low vision Optometrist. “People don’t know that there are doctors who are very experienced in low vision care.” Macular degeneration is the most common eye disease amongst the senior population. As many as 25% of those over 65 have some degree of degeneration. Macular degeneration leaves a blind spot right in the center of vision making it impossible to recognize faces, read a book, or pass the driver’s vision test. The experts do not know what causes macular degeneration. But it is known that UV light from the sun is a major contributing factor. Other factors are smoking,

aging of course, and improper nutrition. 15% to 20% of the time it is genetic. New research suggests vitamins can help. The British medical journal BMC Ophthalmology recently reported that 56% of patients treated with a highdose combination of vitamins experienced improved vision after six months. “I am extremely pleased

with the glasses I purchased in November. The more I use the reading glasses, the faster I can read. They are a blessing,” says Marilyn, of Kalispell, MT.

River Ridge (8-1) in the final seconds of the SPSL championship game to earn the top seed from the league. The Cardinals will host Bremerton (5-4) on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. Washington (6-3) and Fife (7-2) will do battle at Fife Stadium at the same time. The surprising team from Steilacoom (7-2) will host Olympic (5-4) also at the same time. It has been several years since this many stout teams advanced out of the SPSL into the playoffs. The biggest gridiron surprise around these parts has got to be the Tacoma Baptist Crusaders. After dropping down to 1B in the off-season, the Crusaders made their first foray into the world of eight-man football and have been nothing short of spectacular. Tacoma Baptist (9-0) will host the winner between Crescent and Oakville on Nov. 11 or 12. The Crusaders already beat the two teams by a combined score of 108-6. As a matter of fact, Tacoma Baptist is averaging nearly 55 points a game, while giving up just eight points per contest. In the world of eight-man football, that eightpoint statistic is shocking. Tacoma Baptist has yet to be tested this season, so the post-season should be quite the ride for the Crusaders and their fans.

The Bellarmine Lions and Curtis Vikings will be giving it their all at the West Central District volleyball tournament at Kentwood starting Friday, Nov. 4. The Lions (14-3) are looking to return to their state championship stature that saw them take four consecutive crowns until the Vikings (12-5) ended their run with their own championship last season. Both teams are capable of making it to the finals in Kennewick next week. The 3A Pierce County League is sending three teams to the 3A WCD tournament at Yelm High School starting Friday, Nov. 4. Wilson finished 11-4 and third out of the PCL. The Rams look like they have the squad and a legitimate shot at punching a ticket to the state tournament starting with a match against Mountain View (5-9). Lincoln (7-8) will face Capital (11-3), while Stadium (6-9) will square off against Timberline (10-4). The Wilson (10-4-2) girls’ soccer team will host their old nemesis Capital (6-10-0) in a loser-out game on Thursday, Nov. 3 at Mt. Tahoma Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Stadium (7-5-1) will travel south to face Evergreen (7-9-0) the same night. Bellarmine (8-6-3) will travel Kent to face powerhouse Todd Beamer (15-1-1) on Thursday, Nov. 3 at 5:30 p.m.

The score held until six minutes into the second period when Gjertsen clobbered a pass from forward Dan Antoniuk and the Stars led 2-1. Tacoma’s defense was able to stymie one of the sport’s deadliest teams for the remainder of the half and took the one goal advantage into the locker room. The third quarter was all Tacoma. Johnson netted his second goal of the game off an assist by Antoniuk just two minutes into the third stanza for a 3-1 lead. Barely two minutes later, midfielder Joseph Cairel got into the action finding a ricochet in front of the net off of the foot of Hanson for a 4-1 advantage and the ShoWare crowd was nearly beside themselves. Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Sonora closed

host West Seattle (5-3) at Lincoln Bowl on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. Stadium (6-3, 5-2 PCL) had already sewn up a playoff berth two weeks prior and will be travelling across the Narrows Bridge the same night to face Peninsula (8-1) at Roy Anderson Field in Purdy at 7 p.m. Winners will advance to the 3A state tournament. Stadium opened the contest with a solid drive that pushed the Tigers all the way down to the four yard line. Needing just three yards to gain first down, junior quarterback Hunter Wendling tossed a pass to junior receiver Jaden Crooks at the goal-line. Crooks got a hand on the ball, but also had an Abe defender breaking it up. Lincoln would take over on downs, but the Abes were only able to push the ball out to the 11 yard line before having to punt. The Tigers took over on the Lincoln 30 yard line, but was unable to move the ball inside the 25. A fourth-down Wendling pass was broken up at the goal-line and Lincoln took over on downs again. The Abes were able to move the ball out to their own 44 yard line, but the drive stalled and Lincoln punted the ball away. The next Stadium drive looked like it just might be the one. A 34-yard scamper by senior superstar running back Jamon Chambers put the ball on the Lincoln 25 yard line. Facing fourth and one from the Abe 16 yard line, Stadium was whistled for two straight penalties and now faced fourth and 11 from the Lincoln 26. A field goal wasn’t in the game plan, so Wendling flung a pass to the corner of the end-zone that was broken up, yet again. Lincoln and Stadium traded punts on the next two possessions, and then it was time for the Abes to chew up some ground. Lincoln would put together a 13-play, 82-yard drive that was capped by a touchdown pass from senior quarterback Joey Sinclair to senior receiver Camron Deloney on a well-struck crossing route. Lincoln led 7-0 with 4:27 left in the second quarter. Stadium would waste no time with their own scoring answer. After securing excellent field position at midfield, due to a pooch kick by the Abes, Stadium had another short field to work with. Facing third and goal from the Lincoln two yard line, Wendling hit Chambers

the gap to 4-2 off another goal from Lopez. Tacoma was able to answer a couple of minutes later when Cox got a foot on a pass from Antoniuk and found the back of the net for a 5-2 Stars lead. The Stars would strike again just 19 seconds later when midfielder Mike Ramos delivered a solo blast that put the score at 6-2 Tacoma with 10 minutes remaining in the match. Sonora answered Ramos’ goal with a score by 2016 MASL most valuable player Franck Tayou with nine minutes remaining to play and the score was 6-3. Another goal by Sonora just over two minutes later closed the score to 6-4 and the hometown crowd, feeling the pressure and the nerves, ramped up the sound and energy in the ShoWare Center to a playoff pitch and the Stars responded. With a power play advantage, Cox would score an unassisted goal with three minutes remaining in regulation to push the Tacoma lead to 7-4. Two minutes later, McCluskey put the cherry on top of the victory with goal off of a feed from Cairel for the 8-4 victory. Tacoma outshot Sonora 23 to 19 for the match.

The additions of defender Evan McNeley and forward Alexander Megson during the offseason paid immediate dividends for the Stars. McNeley, a native of Everett, was a force on the defensive end, overpowering the Sonora attackers throughout the match. Megson, the son of original Tacoma Star Neil Megson, was constantly in the mix and a threat to put points on the scoreboard. The Stars hit the road for a match against the Turlock Express on Friday, Nov. 4. Head Coach Darren Sawatzky will be across the Pacific Ocean coaching the Guam National Team, and in his absence, the Stars will be managed by former Star Dick McCormick. Following the trip to Turlock, Tacoma will return home to face a team that is quickly becoming a fierce rival of the Stars. The Ontario Fury were bounced out of playoff contention last season in a do-or-die match with Tacoma in a contest that is still being talked about. Tacoma hosts Ontario on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the ShoWare Center in Kent. First kick is set for 6:05 p.m. For tickets and other Stars information, visit www.tacomastars.com.

in the right side of the end-zone and the game was tied at 7-7 with 1:46 left in the first half. On the first play of the ensuing Lincoln drive, Stadium junior Deshawn Webber intercepted a deep pass by Sinclair and the Tigers had the ball at their own 11 yard line. Quick strikes over the middle by Wendling began eating up yards, while a personal foul penalty on Lincoln gave Stadium even more of a boost. With the clock ticking, Wendling found Chambers again, streaking out of the backfield and up the right sideline for 34 yards and their second touchdown connection of the first half. Stadium would take a 13-7 lead into the locker rooms. Early in the third quarter Stadium would strike again. After gaining the ball on downs from Lincoln, the Tigers had a short field to work with again. Starting at midfield, the Tigers drove to the nine yard line before Wendling

connected with senior receiver Max Novak on a crossing route into the end-zone. Stadium now led 21-7 with 9:19 left in the third quarter. Lincoln would get right back into it with a crisp 58-yard drive that was capped by a seven-yard scamper into the end-zone by Sinclair. Lincoln had closed the score to 21-14 with 7:11 left in the third quarter. The score would hold until 6:05 remaining in the game when Wendling faked the ball to Chambers and ran the ball into the end-zone untouched from the Lincoln one yard line for the 28-14 final score. Should Lincoln beat West Seattle, there is a very good chance that the Abes will then host Garfield (8-1) the following weekend at Lincoln Bowl. If Stadium gets past Peninsula, the Tigers will likely end up travelling south to face Mountain View (6-3) the same weekend.

Stop LNG Now!

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

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

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

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

Puget Sound Energy is in the final permitting stages of the proposed LNG plant even though at this point PSE lacks any customers for LNG. The proposal started after the private utility company landed a contract with Totem Ocean Trailer Express (TOTE) to provide ships with cleaner-burning LNG rather than diesel, but TOTE has since put those plans on hold, announcing in a news release that the company does not have an exact date for when it will retrofit its ships to use LNG. In other words, PSE wants to build a plant without a customer.

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

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

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

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

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

Wailer legacy JOHN “BUCK” ORMSBY CHAMPIONED TACOMA ROCK AND PAVED THE WAY FOR DECADES OF DO-IT-YOURSELF MUSICIANS By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

orthwest rock legend John “Buck” Ormsby – best known as bassist for Tacoma’s Fabulous Wailers - has died. Friends say Ormsby was in Mexico where he had gone to receive cancer treatment when he fell on Saturday, Oct. 29, resulting in his death. The accident occurred on his 75th birthday. “Nobody expected this,” said Bill Engelhart, Ormsby’s lifelong friend and former band mate. “I guess we all gotta go, but I just wasn’t ready for this one. We go a long way back, he and I. We were really good friends, and I had a lot of respect for Buck.” Ormsby was a pivotal figure in the development of Northwest rock n’ roll as a member of seminal Tacoma garagerock bands Little Bill & The Bluenotes and the Fabulous Wailers; as co-owner of Etiquette Records, which he formed with Wailers band mates Kent Morrill and Lawrence “Rockin’ Robin” Roberts; and as producer on iconic regional recordings of that era. England’s Ace Records has reissued a number of influential Etiquette releases in recent years, and - on the label’s web site this week - spokesman Alec Palao summed up Ormsby’s legacy this way. “Buck Ormsby could with all impunity be considered the true architect of the Northwest sound: that hard-hitting, fullblooded and visceral take on vintage rock and R&B best personified by the Sonics, but audibly the common thread that united that corner of the U.S. in the 1960s, with lasting reverberations through to the more celebrated grunge movement 30 years later.” However influential, Ormsby’s 60-year musical career began quite inauspiciously, with bored teenagers just looking for something to do. He and his classmates - Engelhart, Frank Dutra and Lassie Aanes - formed Washington’s first rock band, Little Bill & The Bluenotes, an event that Engelhart’s autobiography, “Next Stop, Bakersfield,” dates back to 1957. Ormsby recalled the band’s formation as being inspired by a screening of “Blackboard Jungle” at the Sunset Theater, a movie house that was once located on Sixth Avenue. The movie is perhaps most notable for popularizing Bill Haley & His Comets’ hit “Rock Around the Clock.” Ormsby and Engelhart’s musical aspirations were also greatly shaped by being regulars at the Evergreen Ballroom, a Lacey venue that showcased popular soul, blues and R&B artists of that era. “We saw everybody under the sun,” Engelhart said. “We saw James Brown, Etta James – on and on and on. We really patterned the Bluenotes, as much as we could, after Little Richard’s band, the Upsetters.” The Bluenotes lineup expanded to include Buck Mann on sax and Roberts on vocals. The band would practice in Engelhart’s garage, oblivious to what they

The

project never truly gained, but Ormsby continued working on until the very end. Beals said, “I think it was a source of irritation for Buck over the years, that Tacoma really never got the credit that it deserved as a creative center in the rock n’ roll side of the music business. I think he was bound and determined to change that.” “Of all of us, that kind of started the ball rolling in Tacoma, if any of us really tried to keep the history of that going it was Buck,” Engelhart said. “That was a focus that he seemed to have all the time. He wanted people to remember. He would give us light, and it was really important to him.” Ormsby also remained committed to engaging young people’s interest in music. He and Morrill’s Wailers Performing Arts Foundation donated instruments to schools and after-school programs and paired mentors with local kids that did not have access to music lessons until the group ran out of money in 2007. “You had to know Buck or at least have the opportunity to meet him and talk to him to understand how really and truly interested he was in younger musicians and helping them with advice and commentary,” Beals said, also joking about Ormsby’s sometimes gruff exterior. “Some people would say he was rather curmudgeonly, at times,” he said. “I would say he was very direct with his opinions. Not that he stepped on anyone’s feelings, (but) he was not a shrinking violet when it came to saying what he thought.” Service details were pending as the deadline for this story approached. However, many expect there will be some sort of tribute concert, perhaps on par with the gala held at the Temple Theatre for Morrill after he died in 2011.

“ANGEL.” Ormsby danced with “Angel in the Morning” singer Merrilee Rush at Jazzbones in 2014 during an event honoring fallen keyboard player Arlin Harmon.

DDT! Jake â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Snakeâ&#x20AC;? Roberts was among the WWFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular wrestlers in the 80s before addiction derailed his career. "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Jake â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Snakeâ&#x20AC;? Roberts is among the most recognizable wrestlers in WWE history. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when it was still called the WWF â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was a rising star, known for his intensity, his penchant for torturing opponents with a live python and, of course, his finishing move, the DDT. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it think â&#x20AC;&#x153;face slam.â&#x20AC;? But his fall from grace was precipitous. The drug and alcohol abuse that undermined his career is infamously documented in the 1990s documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond the Mat,â&#x20AC;? and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed to be an inspiration for Randy â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ram,â&#x20AC;? Mickey Rourkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character from the tragic 2009 drama, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wrestler.â&#x20AC;? More recently, his road to sobriety, facilitated by fellow wrestler and life coach Diamond Dallas Page, is documented in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Resurrection of Jake the Snake.â&#x20AC;? The latest chapter of Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life sees him trying standup comedy. Local fans can catch him at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, at Tacoma Comedy Club. Tickets are $22 to $28 and can be found at www.tacomacomedyclub.com. We gave Roberts a ring, wondering what to expect. And you know how some popular bands secretly hate playing their biggest hit? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Snakeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; speaking in his distinctly gravelly voice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gave us a revelation on par with that. TACOMA WEEKLY: I just watched your documentary with on Netflix the other day. Congratulations on getting it turned around. How are things going for you? JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going great, man; five years now, no issues. I never thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d last two weeks. Not to have the cravings and stuff is so awesome. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going through any of that any more. And now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out helping other people, hell, it makes me feel good. We take time during the show to talk about addiction and alcoholism. I offer myself to the people that come, you know. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a problem, and you want somebody to talk to, maybe I can get you pointed in the right direction, anyway. I do like talking to people and trying to help â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em, and I encourage other people to do what Dallas did.

He took a hell of a chance to let Scott Hall and me move into your house and not expect bad things is insane. Here were some bad nights, but we persevered, man. I slipped three or four times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe five times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the first year and a half. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go into a place, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get free shots, and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d run home like a kid thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done something bad, which I had. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get home, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just feel so bad about failing again. Oh, it was horrible the way I felt about it. Then, finally, whenever I made six months and then eight months, it was like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow! Maybe, just maybe.â&#x20AC;? I came out the other side, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me at all. I do a lot of these shows in a bar setting, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me at all now. TW: Along with your own story, Iron Sheik came out with his own documentary detailing similar issues; and I guess there were guys like JYD (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s wrestling star Junkyard Dog) back in the day. How prevalent is that sort of thing in your business? JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: There was a lot of it. Whether it be pills or cocaine or pot or alcohol, there was a lot of it, man. TW: Why do you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so bad in wrestling? JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: Back in the day, we were just running ourselves ragged. I was wrestling 80, 90 days straight. I had to get my wife to come on the road and travel with me â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause I was mentally just beaten. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even talk, you know. It was really bad. There was so much pressure for us to perform. You knew if you missed a couple of days that you were gonna get knocked back down the pole. ... I think a lot of people took shortcuts, whether it be steroids or pills, to keep them going when they were hurt. Now, they have a wellness program. Give me a break, bruh. Hell, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cut a cast off and wrestled. I just said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch my arm, man.â&#x20AC;? That was brilliant. I wrestled for a year and a half with a real bad neck injury. It was to the point I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lift my left arm any more. TW: Around what time period was that? JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;89, after Honky Tonk

TW: These days, it seems to be a much bigger business and, as you said ... JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that the business is any bigger. I mean, the numbers and stuff that we did back then were untouchable. We were running three cities a night at one time. Now they run one city a night and not very often. (He chuckles.) Whenever they started cleaning things up, they had to chop down the schedule because guys just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it any more. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed a whole lot.

TW: Who did you get along best with back then? And who did you have the most chemistry with in the ring? JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: I could make it happen with anybody. Certainly, working with (Ricky) Steamboat was a real pleasure. The only person I ever had a problem with was Vader (Leon White, aka Big Van Vader.) He broke my sternum twice. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get back in there with him â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a goof. TW: People think of wrestling as scripted, but from what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re describing and what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in documentaries, you guys put up with a lot of pain; and you break stuff when things go wrong. JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: Oh yeah. You just keep goinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, man. Now they go out and rehearse matches. I never rehearsed a match in my life, man. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go out, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d know the ending; but the rest of the match, we just put it together in the ring as we went. The guys today arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capable of doing that. TW: I learned recently that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a couple of different aliases. Take me back to when â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Snakeâ&#x20AC;? was born.

going all over your bathroom. You call downstairs to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My snake broke your toilet.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, right. Okay.â&#x20AC;? TW: Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d they react? Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they see you carry the snake into your room? JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: They made me pay the damn bill, that was about it. TW: It sounds like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not a fan of snakes. JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not. You have no idea how bad snake s--- smells, man, till you get it all over ya. They can spray just like a skunk. That stuff is so foul. Oh my god! TW: I guess we should talk about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming here for. What made you want to do comedy? JAKE â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE SNAKEâ&#x20AC;?: For years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people tell me that I had a knack for telling stories. I just laughed it off. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never think about it. Then I went and seen Mick Foley perform. I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holy s---! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m funnier than he is.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the confidence I needed right there. I went out and tried it, and I do have a lot of fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping with some of my health issues. Being in the ring for all those years and getting my head bounced around, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some issues with speech. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten a whole lot better now. My memory was really bad. I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the old saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it you lose it.â&#x20AC;? The other great thing about it is my daughter works for me and lives with me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really great that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given this time to connect back up with each other. ... My life is so blessed, man, being able to get back with my kids and have real relationships. â&#x20AC;Ś Up until five years ago, my relationship was with drugs and alcohol. That was it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for nothing else.

This year at TAM we are particularly proud to incorporate the lighted alebrijes built by artists Ruben Castillo and Oscar Becerra, an explosion of colors emphasizing the festive character of Day of the Dead.â&#x20AC;? Internationally known artist Ruben Castillo will lead a youth workshop, making mini-altars and small tombs. The workshop is open to the first 75 youth to sign up on the day of the event. He will also move throughout the lobby and atrium wearing his hand-crafted alebrijes. Castillo is passionate about folk art. Born in MĂŠxico City, he is a member of a collective of artists who exhibit and sell their work in the neighborhoods of Sullivan and San Angel. Since 2006 he has collaborated with the Museum of Popular Art in MĂŠxico City and with them, has created and shown lighted alebrijes internationally. This year, the lighted alebrijes will be seen for the first time in the United States as part of DĂa de los Muertos celebrations in Seattle and Tacoma. A team of four local Tacoma artists will create the tapete: Carlos Cervantes, Jorge Garcia, Jorge Mota and Saiyare Refaei. They are excited to show what local artists can bring to this cultural tradition. Their tapete installation will depict La Santa Muerte, also known as Santisima Muerte, the beloved goddess of death. Her origins date back to pre-colonial MĂŠxico when she was known as Mictecacihuatl, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lady of the Land of the Dead.â&#x20AC;? She is believed to be the protector of souls residing in the underworld.

PEAKS & PINTS BRINGS CRAFT BEER CRAZE TO PROCTOR "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Ron Swarner is best known as a local media mogul. He founded Tacoma City Paper in 1997, followed by the Weekly Volcano which he ran with his brother, Ken, until he sold his stake early last year. But while he was covering the local arts and dining scenes with those publications, the seeds of another passion were germinating. More specifically, the weekly craft beer column he started writing for the Volcano in 2013 may have set him irreversibly on the path to Peaks & Pints, the new craft brew store, taproom and eatery that is just open ed for business at 3816 N. 26th St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I dove in deep,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to know every South Sound brewery owner, and I learned everything I could about craft beer. I fell in love with it. I love the people. I looked forward every week to writing that column, more so than at any other. It became my passion. So when the opportunity came up for me to sell my half of the Volcano, I went for it.â&#x20AC;? On top of Swarnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short list of potential partners were Justin and Rob Peterson, twin entrepreneurs best known for Hilltopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peterson Brothers 1111 and the the Valley Pub in the Dome District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to bring in partners on this deal, not only because it would be more fun,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted somebody that was in the tavern business because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my background. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many bars in this town. I always considered them the McMenamins of Tacoma because they take an old thing and make it really cool.â&#x20AC;? The trio slogged through months of delays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the city asked them to retrofit the building to make it more earthquake proof and upgrade its sprinkling system, pushing back previous opening dates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but doors are finally open, as of Tuesday. The venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aesthetic comes from some of Swarnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other passions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an outdoor enthusiast,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I snowboard, I hike.â&#x20AC;? Now remodeled to resemble a mountain ski lodge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a bar made of Nalley Valley pickle barrel wood and 28 taps mounted on a rustic cedar

log â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the space is no longer recognizable as the former home of Tacoma Bike. What will be very familiar to fans of other craft beer emporiumsthat have been gaining popularity in Tacoma â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the likes of Pint Defiance and Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Copper Door â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a massive cooler jam-packed with brew selections from around the globe. Swarner and cellarman William Kane assigned themes to each compartment, with six dedicated to beers from Washington and Oregon, two to California and others to beers from the East Coast and abroad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea is to take the craft beer store to the next level in Tacoma,â&#x20AC;? Swarner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the first craft beer store with a restaurant attached. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to appease the craft beer geek, the craft beer lover. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the heart of Proctor. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be a neighborhood pub. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to bring a little bit of nightlife up here.â&#x20AC;? Anyone familiar with the Peterson Brothers would be correct in guessing the menu will focus on the sort of mouthwatering, gourmet sandwiches they serve at their other pubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all brand new except for a couple of classics, like our Reuben and our Italian and the Brutus,â&#x20AC;? Justin Peterson explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be a small, get-to-the-point menu at first, just so we can get started and feel out what our crowds are gonna be; whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be heavy lunch, heavy dinner or if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just beer drinkers. (Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll) ease into adding new specials and items after about a month, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think.â&#x20AC;? Peaks & Pints will regularly host events that showcase breweries and craft brew styles from around the region;

and a small atrium has been built in the former location of Julieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Care that can be rented for private events. (Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cancel your hair appointment just yet: Julieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is still next door, but on the other side.) And far be it from Swarner to give up his old vocation entirely. The Peaks & Pints web site includes craft beer coverage that already seems on pace to rival the popular and more established Washington Beer Blog (www.washingtonbeerblog.com). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We launched the web site with 200 stories,â&#x20AC;? Swarner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our stories are not only about us but all the brewers, all the styles. We cover events. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ton of photos on it, from the Pumpkin Fest up at Elysian to the Washington Craft Beer Festival in Redmond. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty dynamic.â&#x20AC;? Initially, Peaks & Pints will be open until 11 p.m. on weekdays, midnight Fridays and Saturdays. For further details, call (253) 973-4640 or visit www.peaksandpints.com.

TOBY Things are looking up for Featured Pet Toby. Though the 8-years-young Pit Bull Terrier mixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past is a mystery, we know the gentle soul would love a soft bed to lay on, some short walks to keep him limber, and two square meals a day. Our diamond in the ruff has got a few medical issues that are being managed, but nothing that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commonly seen in senior pets. As far as animal companions go, Toby doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like obnoxious and bouncy dogs all up in his business. Toby does love his treats, though, and will respond to sit, down, shake, come, and speak cues for a tasty reward. Come to the shelter for a visit today, and this here pitty will show you heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still got a few tricks up his sleeve â&#x20AC;&#x201D; #A511177.
