Kiley arrives at the courthouse on Monday morning, wearing her blue vest and ready to start the work week. All eyes are on her as she breezes through the lobby and strides onto an elevator. She arrives at her office on the ninth floor and it’s time to go to SONGER work. Kiley has a full day of court appearances and pre-trial interviews – she’s a trained courthouse dog. Kiley is a one of several dogs across the region that provides support for victims and witnesses through the Courthouse Dogs program. Ellen O’Neill-Stephens, former King County deputy prosecutor, founded the program in 2004. Today, courthouse dogs are serving in many prosecutors’ offices and child advocacy centers across the coun-
Today, courthouse dogs are serving in many prosecutors’ offices and child advocacy centers across the country, providing silent comfort. try, providing silent comfort. Retelling the details of a crime can be almost as traumatic for a victim as the actual crime was. Some victims, especially children, are too shy to speak to another person about what happened to them. They feel comfortable when petting Kiley and are more likely to talk. Without the comfort of having a dog like Kiley present, some victims and witnesses might not have otherwise told their story. Kiley’s stable and calming presence puts a person at ease when a human can’t. Courthouse dogs require special training, and the process begins at birth. The dogs, golden or Labrador retrievers, are specially
bred and selected. During the first year of their lives, they are cared for by “puppyraisers,” who are carefully selected by training groups such as Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). Then it’s off to school, where the dogs learn basic commands. After a few months, the dogs move on to advanced commands, such as “pull” and “light-switch.” The dogs that pass the advanced training continue on to the team training session with their new handler. Graduates of the program are ready to go to work at the courthouse. Kiley, the Pierce County Prosecutor’s u See KILEY/ page A14

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Your health and wellness should be your main focus this week. If you have been putting off that checkup or trip to the dentist, now is the time for follow through. Knowing what’s going on can give you a sense of relief. There may be a financial or legal issue that needs your partner’s input.
LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Constant scrambling to get things done is draining your energy. Pre-planning your actions will save you time and release mental stress. When you are off balance it affects your whole being. Take up meditation or yoga to help you awaken your inner energy centers. Make lists.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) This weekend could be packed full of romantic surprises so enjoy the thrill. Someone special has been thinking about you and wishes to rekindle a relationship. Keep up your great sense of humor and allow annoyances to roll of your back. Laughter and smiling are contagious.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Consistent, idle drivel is annoying. Sometimes we may not realize the words we speak. Decide to choose your words more wisely and encourage others to do so in a respectful manner. You have a lot to share and brighten many people’s day. Keep up your good work and attitude.
GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) An important epiphany may manifest itself to you that could be life-changing. You gain a deeper importance of friends and family as you begin to take life more seriously. Make a financial plan now and stick to your budget to avoid overspending during the holiday season.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The levee may soon break. Emotional walls that have been put up for many years are crumbling at your feet. This will ultimately be a good thing although there may be some tears shed or changes made. Life must go on regardless of our personal feelings, thoughts or opinions.
CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) This may be an emotional week for you, both at home and at work. Feelings that are hard to express may come out like a tidal wave. Think before you speak, when you can, to avoid saying something that you may regret. Sometimes we all need to vent – regardless of others’ feelings.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) A recent loss or tragedy may still weigh heavy in your heart. Work through your pain and take time to heal wounds. An unusual or special gift will come to you when you are ready to accept it. A family member needs your guidance, attention and support. Give as much as you can.
LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) A problem that has had you stressed out will work itself out this week. Sometimes doing nothing solves everything. You may find or be given extra money that will help out in a pinch. The rain may have you feeling a bit gloomy. Spend some time outside every day taking a walk or bike ride.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) People are talking good about you – speaking your name in social circles and admiring your accomplishments. You are being discovered as a unique asset in your career or social life. Don’t be surprised if you receive an increase in emails, texts, phone calls and social media interactions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Problematic issues may keep popping up for you this week. Every obstacle will have its own unique solution. Look for signs to guide you in dreams and coincidences. Synchronicity has its own special magic. Beware of distracting excessive social media interactions. Keep your life private.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Our bodies heal physical and emotional ailments in their own time. Recovery can be relevant to time and mental acuteness. A positive mental state can go a long way. Take it easy and appreciate the little things that loved ones provide for you. Money matters are like a roller coaster.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is moving ahead with a project to construct a new northbound bridge on Interstate 5 over the Puyallup River that connects Tacoma and Fife, replacing the current bridge. The plan is to reduce backup on the bridge and introduce new high occupancy vehicle options, as well as widening shoulders, improving ramp alignment, improve lighting and adding new concrete barriers to protect drivers. The construction is part of a larger effort by WSDOT that has taken place over the last 20 years. “The project is part of an overall effort to provide a cohesive HOV system in the greater Puget Sound area,” WSDOT Olympic Region Communication Manager Claudia Bingham Baker said. The project was scheduled to begin two years ago, but was stalled when the Puyallup Tribe raised concerns over the effects the new bridge would have on the river, as well as the tribe’s fishing access due to the larger size of the structure compared to the one it would replace. Further issues include the use of land the

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK
Division and ‘J’ Street Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows 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.� And 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 continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Baltimore St., Tacoma. UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND PRESENTS ‘365 DAYS/365 PLAYS’ On Nov. 13, 2002 Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Suzan-Lori Parks introduced America to an unusual concept in playwriting: to create one play a day for an entire year. Her efforts resulted in “365 Days/365 Plays,� a play cycle that became a theatrical phenomenon. During 2006–2007 more than 700 theaters across the country agreed to jointly premiere selected plays, until all 365 works were performed. Now University of Puget Sound’s Department of Theatre Arts and director Geoff Proehl are taking on the challenge of creating a vibrant stage production from this massive repertoire. Proehl has decided to bring to campus a sampling of this literary leviathan by staging about 30 of the short plays (most are two to three minutes long) in a single evening. “365 Days/365 Plays� will be performed in Norton Clapp Theatre in Jones Hall. It will run Thursday–Friday, Nov. 6–7, at 7:30 p.m.; and on Saturday Nov. 8, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Scene design is by Kurt Walls, with costume design by Mishka Navarre and lighting design by Richard Moore. Some of the plays address adult themes and subject matters, and are not appropriate for children. “Many critics consider Suzan-Lori Parks to be one of the most important writers of our time,� Proehl said. “We are excited to explore her unique, outside-the-box thinking about what makes a play.� The subjects covered by Parks in the 365 plays are highly diverse. The Puget Sound performance will include ones themed on love and relationships, family and homecomings, and the creative process. The works range from the comical to the tragic, from the surreal to the brutally honest. In the midst of all these differences, for Parks there is always a common thread. She said in 1994: “Every play I write is about love and distance. And time. And from that we can get things like history.� Writing a play a day was far from easy. Parks created the scripts while simultaneously handling a book tour, a screenwriting project and a full-time teaching job at California Institute of the Arts. At any hour of the day or night, as she rested in a hotel room or stood in an airport security line, she would pull out her pen and start to write. “The plan was that no matter what I did, how busy I was, what other commitments I had, I would write a play a day, every single day for a year,� Parks said when the play cycle launched. “It would be about being present and being committed to the artistic process every single day, regardless of the ‘weather.’ It became a daily meditation, a daily prayer celebrating the rich and strange process of a writing life.� In 2009, Parks visited University of Puget Sound as a Pierce lecturer. From 2009 to 2010 Proehl, in collaboration with Professor Grace Livingston of African American Studies, directed a James Dolliver National Endowment for the Humanities project based on Parks’ writings titled, “Engaging Creativity, Criticism, Collaboration, and Community Through the Work of Suzan-Lori Parks and Her Contemporaries.� REVENUE OFFERS TAX WORKSHOP IN TACOMA Business owners in Washington are responsible for knowing which taxes to report.

MEDICAL EXAMINER FINDS MANNER OF DEATH AN ACCIDENT Independent and concurrent investigations by the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office and Pierce County Sheriff ’s Department regarding the death of Ronald Hillstrom, 44, have been completed. Hillstrom’s death was ruled an accident by the Pierce County medical examiner, and no charges will be filed. On May 11, 2014, at approximately 9:46 p.m., police responded to 911 calls reporting Hillstrom was walking around an apartment complex in University Place with a knife or screwdriver, and acting in an agitated and strange manner. He was shouting for the police, and yelling that he was on fire and someone was out to get him. When officers contacted Hillstrom in the parking area of the complex, he advanced towards them in an aggressive manner while holding a screwdriver. Hillstrom actively resisted the officers’ attempts to disarm and restrain him. Multiple officers used tasers, and fist, knee and flashlight strikes to subdue Hillstrom, but he continued to fight and resist. Officers reported Hillstrom thrashed around and even pounded his head onto the pavement. Hillstrom eventually became semiconscious. Once in custody, Hillstrom was transported to Tacoma General Hospital and went into cardiac arrest en route. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. An autopsy was performed by the Pierce County medical examiner. He determined the manner of death was an accident. Hillstrom’s death was attributed to a cardiac dysrhytmia. Factors that may have contributed to the dysrhytmia include cocaine use, excited delirium, an enlarged heart, and hypoxia from restraint and rib fractures. see more bulletiN board items at tacomaweekly.com

IDENTITY THIEF WANTED IN LAKEWOOD By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox
Identity theft is at epidemic proportions right now. Victims spend hours trying to rebuild their credit and repair their finances because of accused thieves like Dena Howe. She is DAVID ROSE wanted in Lakewood for a slew of identity theft crimes and drugs. She’s also wanted in Edgewood where detectives say she used a woman’s identity to charge more than $4,500 with fraudulent credit cards. Police
Tacoma Student charged for tweeting about shooting threat Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist has charged a 16-year-old, with felony harassment for using his Twitter account to threaten a shooting at Franklin Pierce High School last month. On Oct. 27, rumors of a potential school shooting circulated among Franklin Pierce students. That evening, the suspect tweeted, “attention! attention! It’s me that is shooting up the school tomorrow so be prepared and goodnight! I’m shooting up the school bro! sshh.” Several students told their parents about the threat, and the parents called police. “We take any threat to the safety of our children seriously,” said Lindquist. “While this may have been ill-conceived humor, it’s still a crime. Parents should talk to their children about the perils of social media.” When police contacted the suspect, he told them he was the class clown and was “only joking” when he tweeted the threats. He told police that he thought with all the Twitter and Facebook postings about the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting, it would be funny to say he was going to shoot up his school. When asked about his access to guns, Burns said his step-father stores the family’s guns in a safe. Charges are only allegations, and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
say she has an extensive history of causing chaos with victim’s identities. Detectives say Howe likely has several fake driver’s licenses with her photo on them now, and they’re all near-perfect forgeries. They think she could be hiding in Lakewood, Lacey, Puyallup or Federal Way. If you know where Dena Howe is, call an anonymous tip into Crime Stoppers of Tacoma\Pierce County at 1 (800) 222-tips. All calls are anonymous and there is a cash reward for the information. Howe will be featured on Washington’s Most Wanted Friday night at 9:30 p.m. on JOE TV and 11 p.m. on Q13FOX.
RETRIAL OF CONVICTED CAB KILLER NOW UNDERWAY
Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist delivered opening statements Monday in the retrial of Jaycee Fuller, 37, who is charged with the 2009 stabbing death of Tacoma taxi driver, Mohamud Ahmed. A jury convicted Fuller in 2010. The conviction was then overturned by the Court of Appeals on the grounds that the trial judge erred in admitting evidence that the defendant declined to answer some of the detectives’ questions. Ahmed was an immigrant
from Somalia who came to the United States in search of a better life. In the early morning hours of March 8, 2009, he picked his last fare, Fuller, in the Sixth Avenue area of Tacoma. Police later found Ahmed dead outside of his cab, with the meter still running. Ahmed’s throat had been cut, and he had been stabbed in his side. At the murder scene, police found a Keg restaurant cap. Ahmed’s blood was outside the cap, and the defendant’s DNA was inside the cap. A jury deliberated for
just two hours before finding Fuller guilty of murder in the first degree. Lindquist then asked the court to impose the maximum sentence, citing the defendant’s motives for the crime – hatred and greed. Judge Katherine Stolz followed Lindquist’s recommendation, and sentenced Fuller to 28 years in prison. Lindquist tried the case with former Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Grant Blinn, who is now serving as Lakewood Municipal Court Judge.
Learn about resources for extended care of a loved one
Whether the need happens suddenly or over a period of years, when the necessity for extended health care happens, knowing about community resources is a necessity. The worst case scenario is to have to make decisions about long term care in a crisis without any knowledge of the resources, services and options available. “Options for the Future” will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Puyallup Activity Center, 210 W. Pioneer in Puyallup. This event is a free information-only opportunity to learn about the wide variety of services and resources in Pierce County. Topics to be addressed include in-home care, geriatric care management, elder law, adult family homes, assisted living, skilled nursing homes, memory care, Medicare, Medicaid and community resources in Pierce County. The event is jointly sponsored by Pierce County Community Connections
Aging & Disability Resources and the Health Care Providers Council of Pierce County. “Life is fragile,” said Aaron Van Valkenburg, manager of Pierce County Aging and Disability Resources. “For some people – even the youngest and healthiest individual, life can change in a blink with an accident or illness. For others, the gradual onset of disabilities may lead to need for extended care. In either case, knowing about community resources and how to tap into them is crucial.” Participants will have the chance to learn about services and resources and ask questions of local professionals in the long term care services network. This is an informationonly event. The workshop is free and open to the public. For more information about the workshop itself, call the Pierce County Aging and Disability Resource Center at (253) 798-4600.
If you’re driving a car without a license, proof of insurance or registration, you probably want to avoid drawing attention to yourself on the road. A woman driving a car at 96th Street on Nov. 1 didn’t quite take this piece of advice to heart. When officers were responding to a disturbance on the street, they noticed a car drive by with its radio blasting that proceed to park right next to their marked patrol car that still had its lights fully flashing. Officers conducted a traffic stop as the driver was about to get out of the vehicle, where they informed her of the car stereo law in Tacoma. Officers asked the driver to provide a drivers license, proof of insurance and registration, which she had none of. When officers ran the driver’s name, they found she had a suspended driver’s license. The woman was given several violations for vehicle sound, driving without proof of insurance and driving with a suspended license. Another criminal was also not one for subtlety. As a marked patrol officer sat at MLK Jr. Way on Nov. 1, a man at a nearby bus stop decided to stick it to the man. Seeing the officer, the man decided to flip off the officer and begin yelling obscenities, forcing a mother and child at the bus stop to move due to the behavior. Going one step further, the man opened a beverage disguised in a bag and began downing it. When the officer approached the man, it was clearly identifiable as a beer. The man was arrested for unlawful bus conduct and transported to Fife Jail. Compiled by Derek Shuck

BROADWAY CENTER EYES IMPROVEMENTS
FOR THREE HISTORIC VENUES
SPrucing uP. The Rialto, the Pantages and Theatre on the Square have major improvements scheduled for the next decade. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com
W
hile looking at the Pantages, the Rialto and Theatre on the Square may conjure an image of old time Tacoma, several projects the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts has planned will make sure the three venues will stay competitive and modern heading into the future with $35 million worth of improvements, both aesthetic and maintenance based. The first round of major improvements involved updating the interior of the Pantages. The major structural renovation of the early 19th century building involved significant expansion of the usable stage space, as well as demolition and replacement of structural roof supports. A remodeled backstage area features increased storage and new star dressing rooms, allowing for quieter, more efficient backstage operations. The windows in the Pantages are also being redesigned The Broadway Center has pitched the city to provide $10 million for the historic venues over the next five
years. The money would not only help the center with the improvements, but also hopefully help the Center net additional grants and donations that will cover the rest of the costs. “The first question people ask is what the city put in; people want to know the city is behind you,” Director of Operations for the Broadway Center Kevin Painter said. Another planned big change will be alterations to the entrance of the Pantages. Currently, a grassy hill is present in front of the theater that sometimes people have difficulty navigating, particularly in the rain. “I’ve literally seen kids use [the hill] as a slide,” Painter said. “We feel that there could be a hedge or some greenery separating it from the sidewalk level coming out of the Pantages door.” Despite these changes, the Broadway Center is making sure the theaters retain their historic look and cultural significance to the city. The venues have been a part of Tacoma history for nearly a century, and the historical nature of the buildings has allowed them to become a window into what the city looked like 100 years ago. They also are economic drivers for the city, bringing thousands of people downtown

on weekends for major events. “The buildings have a great historic value in showing what the city was 100 years ago as well as an economic value today,” Painter said. Perhaps the biggest and most notable planned improvement will be a new outdoor area outside Theatre on the Square where a park currently exists. The area would have partial coverage for the roof, as well as seasonal coverage. The area could be used for smaller productions of about 500 seats, or the space could be expanded to use up to 2,000 seats for large, outdoor concerts. The Center even has plans for using the space to expand the Broadway Farmers Market. “I’m really excited for the design,” Painter said. “We’ve tried to keep it as multiuse as possible but make sure we have the elements we need for a good production.” Upcoming events at the theaters include the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on Nov. 7 at the Pantages, Jeff Bridges and The Abiders on Nov. 21 at the Pantages and the 35th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition on Nov. 22 at Theatre on the Square.

PLANTING SEEDS RETURNS
FOR SOPHOMORE EFFORT “We perish from the lack of knowledge and the seeds we sow today are the fruit we bear tomorrow.�
– Timothy Dillon
By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

Last year, Planting Seeds was able to gift more than 100 baskets of Thanksgiving food to families in need.
acoma’s own grassroots, nonprofit effort, Planting Seeds, is returning for its second year and it looks to be bigger than the first. Families in need around the area will get to experience the joy of a Thanksgiving meal with a little help from the community. Planting Seeds focuses on creating baskets for families filled with all of the essentials for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Citizens are encouraged to bring perishable food donations to various drop-off points, as well as gift cards that will help Planting Seeds purchase turkeys for the families. Last year, the effort was able to gift more than 100 baskets. “I wanted to find a way to continually give back to the community,� Planting Seeds founder Timothy Dillon said in an earlier interview with the Tacoma Weekly. “Yes, there are resources available for people to take advantage of, but the ultimate goal of Planting Seeds is to help our community by mentoring, summer lunch programs, food drives, holiday drives, clothes drives, job fairs and apprenticeships. Why? Because we perish from the lack of knowledge and the seeds we sow today are the fruit we bear tomorrow.� As for the goals for the sophomore year of the event,
Dillon had one motto. “Keep it going and keep it growing.� Dillon said. “I learned that you have to have passion for what you do. Everyone might not share that same passion. You have to make people believe in what you’re doing. You can’t just expect people to believe in you because you tell them something. Keep working hard and it’s going to keep getting better.� Dillon has already convinced several big names to believe in his project. This year, the Salvation Army contacted Dillon to become a partner with Planting Seeds, impressed with the grassroots movement. Other new partners this year include Dowd’s Barbeque, Mary Mart (21+) and Clear Choice Cannabis (21+). “At first there was a host of businesses I knew in our barbershop community. Now it’s people I didn’t even know, coming forward and wanting to help and that’s a good thing,� Dillon said. Dillon and Planting Seeds are currently setting up more drop-off locations for donations, but all major partners will also be drop-off locations. So far these include Tacoma’s Finest Clippers, located at 6317 E. Portland Ave., the Goodwill Center, located at 714 S. 27th St., Dowd’s BBQ located at 10505 Steele St., Mary Mart (21+), located at 3005 6th Ave. and Clear Choice Cannabis (21+) located at 8001 S Hosmer St.

PAID SICK LEAVE, MINIMUM WAGE TO FOLLOW WITH COUNCIL PROPOSALS By Steve Dunkelberger
family member and for medical attention, counseling or other services in connection with domestic violence or for public health emergency closures of schools or daycares. Healthy Tacoma champions the cause with statistics that some 40,000 workers in the city have no paid sick leave. That fact causes financial strains for the nearly three-fourths of school-age children in Pierce County who have two working parents since parents without sick leave are less able to stay home with an ill child, sometimes being forced to send the child to daycare or school, or keep an older child out of school to care for siblings. The issue is slated for council discussion after the current budget talks end in December. Then comes the issue of raising the minimum wage for workplaces within the city. A group of workers, known as 15 Now, wants the city to mandate a minimum wage of $15 an hour for all workplacing with ties to Tacoma. The group has presented 1,300 signatures to the city council supporting the idea. “That is something I would prefer happen on the state or federal level,” Strickland said, noting that Seattle and SeaTac have passed $15 an hour minimums but have set a deadline to meet that goal out to 2021 for small businesses and 2017 for larger workplaces. Washington state’s $9.32 an hour wage is already the highest minimum wage in the nation, so Seattle’s higher wage than the state minimum tops that and has already been challenged in federal court. Making the economic case that Tacoma has the highest cost of living in the nation, therefore demanding the highest minimum wage would be tough since the cost of living and job base in Tacoma is much different than what is found in Seattle and SeaTac. “We have a much different situation here,” Strickland said. The root of the paid sick leave movement and the call for the highest minimum wage in the nation is rooted in a fundamental flaw and the same anti-corporation uprise that caused the “Occupy” movement three years ago. “It’s the economic illiteracy we have in this nation,” he said. “There are some people who just don’t understand how the economics of how this system works. If you have never woken up in the middle of the night worrying about payroll, you have never owned a business.” Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber CEO Tom Pierson said. Businesses face higher health care costs and more strict regulations that cause profit margins to shrink. Adding a dramatic boost in the minimum wage would force many businesses to either close outright or cut workers’ hours. Neither option would actually add money to wallets. “Many of the businesses I have talked to are on very, very thin margins,” he said. “Today’s council understands that.”
stevedeunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Changes to the relationship between workers and their bosses are queuing up for City council discussion in the coming months. First in the city council line-up will likely be a paid sick leave proposal that could come by the end of the year. “We will come up with a draft proposal somewhere in the middle,” Mayor Marilyn Strickland said, noting that employee groups want broad sick leave policies, while many businesses fear workers would abuse such policies and require payroll managers to monitor yet another employee benefit. “My proposal is to have it as streamlined as possible.” One option is to simply have businesses state that they have a paid sick leave policy for their workers when their licenses are annually renewed, for example, and have the city’s mandated policy enforced through a complaint system rather than a compliance system. The call for a paid sick leave policy for businesses operating within Tacoma comes as several cities around the country have enacted their own policies. A group of labor and worker groups, under the banner of Health Tacoma, have rallied support to petition the City Council for a formal policy in Tacoma. A proposal being floated would require employers to offer at least three days of paid sick leave per year that would be earned at a rate of the hour per 40 hours worked. Proof of the policy would have to be provided when a business renews its annual license. Operations that already provide “shift” swapping would also receive special consideration, although the ordinance would apply to all businesses and non-profits, regardless of size, according to the Washington Retail Association, which is in talks with Strickland about the issue. City Councilmember Ryan Mello has given his support to a city-mandated paid sick leave ordinance but says the mayor’s working proposal doesn’t go far enough. He wants a proposal that calls for at least a week of paid sick leave since that is the length of time people with the flu are contagious. The Healthy Tacoma proposal, for example, would have workers at workplaces of fewer than 10 people accruing an hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 40 hours in a year; while worker in medium-sized workplaces could earn up to 72 hours. Large workplaces of more than 250 employees would have to offer up to provide sick leave as part of a flexible leave pool system that also includes vacation time as long as the combined paid time off is at least 13 days in a year. Workers would be able to use their sick leave for their own illnesses or treatments as well as for the care of a sick
CHARTER CHANGES MOSTLY GET VOTER NODS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedeunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Tacoma’s charter review process is now over. The voters have spoken. They approved most of the changes to the city’s constitution, with nine of the 12 changes approved by the City Council to ride the Nov. 4 ballot passing by wide margins in early returns. Most of the charter changes outlined in the slate of voter-approved resolutions were largely housekeeping items to bring the city charter in compliance with current practices and state law. But two items received mixed results at the ballot box. Resolution 6, for example, gave the City Council more oversight of the municipally owned Tacoma Public Utilities by giving councilmembers the authority to confirm the appointment of the utility’s executive director and reconfirm the appointment every other year rather than just a simple appointment by the TPU Board of Commissioners. The change is passing with a vote of 55.8 percent to 44.3 percent. Voters, however, kept the city’s current term limit structure of 10 years total on the council and as mayor. Resolution 8 would have allowed council members to serve up to two years of a council appointment followed by two full terms of four years before then serving up to two four-year terms as mayor. Supporters said the change solves an issue caused by the staggering of terms of the nine-member council, while opponents said it would simply extend the terms of “career politicians” since the change would extend term limits to a total of up to 18 years. The proposed change was voted down with a vote of 37.5 percent “for” and 62.5 percent “against.” The approved-by-voters column includes a resolution to create a Citizen Salary Commission to set the salaries for the council and mayor rather than have the council members approve salary changes by ordinance. Part-time council members currently earned $41,267 a year while the mayor is paid $91,042. Another charter change voters approved allows the council to immediately enact ordinances one a measure is passed rather than require that an ordinance goes into effect only after notice of the passage is published in legal notices.
RESULTS FOR CHARTER CHANGES
Resolution No. 1 – Election provision changes to comply with state law is passing with 64 percent of the vote.

More Than Good Karma
Women must negotiate salary and raises By Laura Finley Evidently, only men are supposed to ask for raises. Women who do will only annoy their bosses and instead should simply have faith in the system and hope for good karma. This is what Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently stated. Although he later apologized for his “inarticulate� response, the fact remains that his initial answer serves to mask the tremendous gender wage gap that still exists. It also reinforces dangerous beliefs about workplace communication, which research has found already differs in ways that generally disadvantage female workers. It is very clear that women’s wages still lag behind men’s in most every industry. In 2013, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) found that full-time, year-round female workers earned 78 percent of what their male counterparts earned. In the technology industry, women earn, on average, $6,358 less than their male counterparts, and women with at least one child earn $11,247 less than all other workers, according to a study by the American Institute for Economic Research. The AAUW found that female engineers made 88 percent of their male counterparts’ salaries, while women in the financial services industry earn
$14,067 a year less than men, according to the American Institute for Economic Research. Although there are many factors that explain the gender wage gap, one of them involves exactly what Nadella denounced: negotiating salary and raises. Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever reported in their 2007 book “Women Don’t Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation and Positive Strategies for Change� that men are eight times more likely than women to negotiate their salary. Another factor that likely impacts the wages women receive from the start of their employment as well as through raises is the way that we are socialized to communicate. According to linguistics scholar Deborah Tannen, women are taught to seek praise, to apologize for issues that are not their fault, and to vent about problems rather than immediately begin “solving� them. While Tannen emphasizes that these are differences, not necessarily disadvantages, when workplaces continue to be dominated by male leaders, as is the case with the tech, finance and engineering fields, these stylistic differences may indeed result in challenges for female workers. If male bosses see women venting, or hear a woman constantly say she’s sorry, the impression they may have is that she is
less capable than her male counterpart. If female workers constantly need praise whereas males simply do the work, it may be perceived as excessive neediness. Again, the problem is not that females’ communication styles are bad, but that they are used in the context of a male-dominated setting and thus may not be understood appropriately. The disadvantages will only worsen if women are discouraged from asking their bosses for raises. As the National Women’s Law Center points out, closing the wage gap would significantly improve the finances of not just women but families as well. They found that if women made an additional $11,608 per year, it would be enough to pay the median cost of rent and utilities for 13 months, with $400 to spare, to feed a family of four for 13 months with $300 to spare, or to pay 18 months of full-time childcare costs for a 4-year old with more than $300 to spare. So, Satya Nadella, it is essential that women learn to communicate with their bosses and to successfully negotiate their salary and raises!

Congress has a long way to go in honoring veterans By Bill Johnston “Thank you for your service.� I was wearing my U.S. Air Force Veteran hat the first time someone said that to me. My reaction was, “Huh?� I was in the Air Force from 1966 to 1970. A period of time when the U.S. military was losing about 100 to 200 guys a week. For those of you unfamiliar with the Vietnam disaster, 58,000 Americans were killed. The closest I got was Taipei Air Station, Taiwan. I was lucky. Located next to Taiwan National University, 120 other USAF airmen and I sat basically spying on the Chinese mainland. It was good duty, and we had little fear someone was going to drop a mortar shell on us. Every veteran, no doubt, has his or her reasons for their “service.� My decision was easy. In 1966, the draft hung over anyone 18 to 24 just waiting for you to become noticeable in some way. And most obvious was “not making satisfactory progress� in college. Fall below the 12-credit quarter average and you were reclassified “1-A� (first to go!). That was my motivation. And I knew the U.S. Air Force did not carry M-16s or slog through rice paddies in Vietnam. So when I am thanked for my service, I put self-imposed limitations on myself before taking such appreciation too seriously. But I am a veteran, and I am proud of it. I was always proud to wear the uniform of my country even when I did not agree with what my country was doing. To this day, almost all my best friends are veterans and from experience I know the term “band of brothers� means something. So when certain armchair generals and so-called patriots who have never served in their country’s uniform use events like Veterans Day to proclaim their dedication to us and our welfare, I believe they need to be called out on it! Let me start with the U.S. Congress. They all “jumped to their feet and erupted in applause� when President Obama introduced Sgt. Cory Remsburg at the State of the Union Address this year. My reaction was, “You bunch of hypocrites!� Quick to vote to send their constituents’ sons and daughters
off to war, death and injury; quicker to send tax dollars to the military-industrial complex that contributes (i.e. bribery) millions to their campaigns; quick to ignore cost overruns on “weapons systems� that don’t work – but not so quick to provide for veterans when they come home. Oh yes – and Congress is fast to blame others such as the Veterans Administration for problems Congress created. The United States is currently in a 13-year war that has never been paid for. Congress has basically raped (the perfect word for it) the rest of the economy to start a war originally intended to pay off big time for the oil companies and their five-time draft-dodging hack VicePresident Dick Cheney. Never before in our history has this happened, and veterans are paying for it. Veterans hospitals are understaffed and the seriously injured die before getting to see a doctor. Mental health problems, from being sent into combat zones time and time again where you never know who is going to take a shot at you, needed to be addressed years ago. The Republican House of Representatives voted down increases in veterans benefits last year until public outrage forced them to pass a watered down, diluted bill. If the American people honestly “Support Our Troops� as so many bumper strips proclaim, they need to demand a war tax to pay for war and all of its consequences – meaning veterans’ requirements. In 1975, Congress was made up of 70 percent veterans. Today, it is 20 percent. The average age of a member of Congress is over 62, and I am thinking that would make the average Congress member about my age and very eligible for military service during Vietnam – the same time my working-class parents had four sons in the military. Strikes me as if Cheney is not the only draft dodger hanging around the Capitol Building these days. Congress finds subtle ways to screw over veterans. For example, I am a “Vietnam-era veteran� – not a “Vietnam veteran.� The difference is I am not eligible for the same benefits as a Vietnam veteran. This has never happened to any veterans before Vietnam. All veterans were recognized as “veterans.�
Congress cobbles together veterans benefits on the cheap whenever possible. Another disturbing idea apparently has popped up from the congressional swamp recently. When Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released by the Afghan Taliban after he walked away from his post five years before, the never ever served in the military armchair generals asked, “Should he be negotiated for and allowed to come home?� I guess when you get captured, no matter how, you had better watch out that you don’t do something to offend the chicken hawks (no matter if you are getting the crap beat out of you!) or they will throw you to the jackals. I guess “Support the Troops� for certain members of Congress is selective and optional. We are now in a new phase of the so-called war on terror brought on by the dumbfounding stupidity of the Iraq invasion. More money and no doubt more casualties are down the road. The other day, Obama told disabled veterans that the country “must move heaven and earth� to make sure they get the benefits they deserve. No doubt hearing that Congress would “jump to their feet and erupt in applause� had they actually been in Washington, D.C. working (they weren’t). And as a veteran, I won’t hold my breath on that promise. A term we used in the military I think sums up the U.S. Congress when it comes to what we veterans can expect from them – SNAFU! As this is a “genteel� newspaper, I will let you look the term up. As for my fellow veterans and band of brothers (and sisters), have a great Veterans Day! And maybe sneak into the closet and see if you can still button that Class A uniform coat. William F.

Pierce County is home to 819,000 men, women and children. More than one in 10 of them are military veterans. That makes next week’s Veterans Day more than just another day to buy a mattress, new car or foreign-made T-shirt with a patriotic slogan on its chest. The area’s veterans not only raised their hands when the nation called on them to defend our lives and values, but they also transformed who we are locally through the continued operations of the military bases along Puget Sound. Military missions around the world with ties to Joint Base Lewis-McChord are now commonplace, whether humanitarian relief following floods, earthquakes or deployments of forces to protect American interests. If a military action happens around the world, there are often local ties. Men and women – your neighbors – miss their children’s soccer games, school plays and birthdays to risk their lives months or years at a time because they quietly and humbly answered our nation’s call for service. The overwhelming call for service during the last decade that led to multiple deployments in hot and sandy places around the world is coming to an end. Many of those soldiers are trading their camouflaged uniforms for suits and work shirts in the civilian workforce. Many are struggling in that wardrobe change. And in true form, they often struggle in silence and battle on to carve their way in a world they helped defend. They offered to give all and ask for nothing in return. They deserve more than what we are giving. They don’t need a hand out or even a hand up. They need – nay, they deserve – a fair shake. Yet far too many former service members are discriminated against in the workplace and housing market. Soldiers in the National Guard or Reserves return from a deployment only to find the civilian job they left is no longer available. Workplaces force citizen soldiers to use their vacation time during military training or deployments or risk being fired. Many military personnel don’t even land a civilian job in the first place, out of a future employer’s fear that they would face an empty position during a deployment. All of these discriminatory practices are illegal, but still far too common because the moral fiber of those in uniform call for them to simply soldier on through adversity. They deserve better. Under the federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, employers must make “reasonable efforts� to help a veteran who is returning to employment following military service to become qualified for the duties he or she would have held if they had remained on the job during their military service. Their climb up their career ladder shouldn’t be slowed by their absence caused by military service. That stall happens every day in Tacoma. It’s wrong. It’s illegal. And it is a disgrace. We should do better. We must do better. So as you take the day off to mark a federal holiday on their behalf, know that there are people out there in foxholes or isolated outposts somewhere, safeguarding your ability to buy a new car during a one-day Veterans Day sale. Those veterans are missing a school play to sit in the mud or sweat in the heat because our nation called. And they answered because you didn’t.
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Thanks very much for the enthusiastic coverage of our first game as the Tacoma Stars 3.0 (“New Tacoma Stars make a believer out of this kid again,� TW 10/31/14). All of the members of this team are extremely proud to wear the badge and excited for the rest of the season.

Local Restaurants INSPIRATION FOR A SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS THANKSGIVING
T
hanksgiving is all about abundance. It’s a time when Americans pull out the stops to celebrate everything they have to be thankful for with a big, delicious meal that will leave everyone at the table saying, “Wow!� This year, with an incredible variety of convenient resources available, ideas and inspiration are also in abundance to help you create an unforgettable feast, whether you’re hosting your very first Thanksgiving or your 50th. “I love preparing for the Thanksgiving feast as much as I love actually eating it. I’m all about finding recipes I trust and figuring out ways to get as much done as possible before my family arrives, so it’s effortless and simple to throw the finishing touches together,� says Molly Yeh, whose photography and popular musings on easy cooking ideas and adventures from the farm have been featured in Food & Wine, Fresh Style and Saveur. “Like me, most people turn to blogs or Pinterest and informational websites for their Thanksgiving inspiration. These days, there’s no need to spend your holiday tied up on a help hotline. You don’t have to look far to find easy, creative ways to make this the best Thanksgiving yet.� Starting with the meal’s iconic centerpiece – a delicious Thanksgiving turkey – these tips, ideas and resources make hosting so easy that even first-time cooks will feel like fivestar chefs. SIMPLIFY WITH NO-FUSS INGREDIENTS: Semi-homemade ingredients can add to the ease of meal preparation and free you up to spend more time with family and friends. Jazz up pre-made mashed potatoes by adding a teaspoon of chopped fresh rosemary and stirring in creamy Country Crock butter. Add a few custom touches to pre-washed bagged salad mix such as blue cheese crumbles, sliced red onion and bite-sized pears and serve with balsamic vinaigrette dressing for a no-fuss dish with big flavors. MODERN SOPHISTICATION: If contemporary cuisine is your style, switch out traditional meal elements with more modern versions. Instead of baked sweet potatoes, make a rustic vegetable tart using chopped sweet potatoes, onions
and other farm-fresh veggies wrapped in a delicious crust of frozen pre-made puff pastry. EASY REGIONAL CUISINE: Regional American cuisines are among the top four “Hot Trends� this year, according to the National Restaurant Association. Give Thanksgiving an easy Tex-Mex twist by making a Southwestern turkey rub using chili powder, cumin and cayenne pepper. If seasoning rubs are new to you, an easy how-to video is just a click away. Round out your dinner theme with cornbread dressing made with diced green chilies and spicy pepperoni. GLUTEN-FREE THANKSGIVING GOODNESS: About one in four Americans feels that a gluten-free menu is good for everyone, according to The NPD Group. Everyone at your table, even those with special diets, can enjoy holiday flavors with a delicious gluten-free menu featuring roasted turkey, honeyand-bacon Brussels sprouts, quinoa stuffing with sweet potatoes and honey cranberry sauce. A SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR TENDER, PERFECTLY COOKED TURKEY:
The turkey is the star of your Thanksgiving show, so go for a simple, convenient solution like JENNIE-O OVEN READY Turkey – a turkey that goes directly from your freezer to oven with no thawing, less mess and a perfect result every time. With OVEN READY Turkey, hosts can be confident they’ll impress their guests with a tender, perfectly seasoned turkey, allowing them to focus on other elements of the meal, from creative side dishes to tantalizing desserts,

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com
t’s that time of year again, when the dark horses leap out from the pack and make a splash into the state tournament. Every year, in almost every sport, there are a few teams that somehow made it into their district tournaments and ride a streak of luck, or just find themselves peaking at just the right time of the season. Oftentimes, those teams end up trampled under the favored teams once they find themselves under the bright lights of the state tournament. However, once in awhile they raise eyebrows, foil the prognosticators and turn hopes and dreams into exhilarating, miraculous runs at a state championship. This year there are a few strong teams from the Tacoma area that could, and should move past the district round and make some noise in their respective state tournaments. There are also a few teams that, for a variety of reasons, made it this far and are now running on hopes and dreams. Sometimes those hopes and dreams turn into trophies and championships. Let’s take a look what the Tacoma area football teams are facing in the district tournaments.

4A - BELLARMINE AT KENTWOOD SATURDAY, NOV. 8 – FRENCH FIELD, KENT – 7 P.M.
Bellarmine (6-3) lost a gut-wrenching game to 4A Narrows champion Gig Harbor 49-0 on Friday, Oct. 31. The loss meant the Lions would be hitting the road instead of hosting a state play-in game at Memorial Field. The muddy field made an impact on both sides of the ball for Bellarmine, while the Tides looked prepared for the nasty conditions throughout the contest. Played on another night, and on a different field, the score would have probably been different. Make no mistake though; Gig Harbor is a top-notch state-level football team that has a chance at making a run at the state title. Now the Lions must travel to tenth-ranked Kentwood (8-1), whose only loss of the season was a tight 14-10 defeat at the hands of possibly the most-feared team in the 4A field: Federal Way. The Conquerors are the champions of the SPSL Northeast and average 35 points per game, while giving up a miserly 8.7. The Lions average 28 against 19.3 points per game. On Bellarmine’s side, the Lions have big game experience and a hard-nosed attitude. The Lions overcame nail-biters last season to reach the state semi-finals and the season before made it to the state championship game. If anyone can orchestrate a victory on the road, against the odds, it is Bellarmine head coach Tom Larson.
4A – CURTIS AT UNION FRIDAY, NOV. 7 – MCKENZIE STADIUM, VANCOUVER – 7 P.M.
Curtis (5-4) ran into a buzz-saw during the first part of their season suffering blowout losses to three powerhouse teams: Kentwood (43-0), Union (24-7) and Graham-Kapowsin (48-14). The Vikings improved as the season went along, going 4-1 to finish the season and grabbed third-place in the SPSL South. For the second time this season, Curtis will travel to fourth-ranked Union (8-1) with the stakes considerably higher than the early-season, non-league affair. The Titans sole loss of the season was a 37-20 defeat against second-ranked Camas. Union opened

Since 1988, the Pacific Lutheran/Puget Sound rivalry hasn’t been much of a rivalry. As a matter of fact, following the Lutes 42-27 victory over the Loggers on Nov. 1 at Baker Stadium, PLU has now won 26 of the last 27 games against their old crosstown nemesis. “Old crosstown nemesis?” That’s right. PLU still needs to defeat UPS another four straight times, just to even up the all-time series record that UPS currently leads at 44-40-5. In 1987, the Loggers defeated the Lutes 24-7 against Frosty Westering’s bunch at the Tacoma Dome. PLU would go on to win the national championship that season; meanwhile UPS had increased their all-time record against PLU to an overwhelming 43-14-5 advantage. Obviously it has been all Pacific Lutheran since then, but if one looks at that all-time record, maybe there’s still a little something to this rivalry talk that briefly appears at this time every year. One thing is for certain; these two teams always play each other with a passion, no matter what the records are on the given Saturday afternoon. This year the Lutes were a little too much for the Loggers, although UPS had a few chances to truly make it a ballgame. After taking the opening kickoff out to their own 35-yard line, PLU’s senior quarterback Dalton Ritchey orchestrated a nineplay, 65-yard drive, capped by a five yard touchdown pass to senior running back Nico Madison on fourth and one. Freshman kicker Dallan Rodriguez nailed the extra-point and the Lutes led 7-0 with 10:01 remaining in the first quarter. Rodriguez then punched a picture-perfect onside kick that the Lutes recovered on their own 45-yard line. After driving down to the UPS 24-yard line, Ritchey rambled for a nine yard gain before having the ball knocked free by the Loggers’ junior linebacker Matt Gilbert. Senior linebacker Max Mirande recovered the fumble, but the ensuing UPS drive sputtered upon reaching their own 40-yard line and the Loggers were forced to punt. PLU gained nine yards on the following drive and rolled the dice looking at fourth and one from their own 24-yard line. Freshman running back Marc Gallant was stuffed for nogain on the attempt and UPS took over deep in Lute territory. Senior quarterback Braden Foley completed three passes to get the Loggers down to the PLU eight-yard line, but his third and goal pass to junior receiver Peter Bell fell incomplete. UPS had to settle for a 25-yard field goal from junior kicker Sawyer Petre and PLU’s lead was cut to 7-3 with 45-seconds remaining in the first quarter. The Lutes chewed some serious time off

“Everyone seems happy,” sighed a tired John Crouch after the 2014 Northwest Indoor Soccer Invitational had ended about seven hours after it kicked off on Nov. 1 at the Tacoma Soccer Center. Indeed, it was a long march from the first match to the final, but the indoor clubs got plenty of playing time and the competition was stiff but good-spirited. Seattle Impact FC’s Reserves took the tournament title with a 2-1 win over the Tacoma Stars. Matches for the tournament were 24 minutes long with the clock stopping only for injuries or upon request of the referees. This kept the action going but also tended to keep the scoring down. Seattle Impact FC’s Reserves went unbeaten on their way to the title (not counting a forfeit to Tacoma). Oly Town FC made their debut in blue kits that feature their new sponsor. Arlington Aviators made a strong showing, advancing to the semifinals and giving the MASL professionals of the Impact a real go before fading late. The Snohomish Skyhawks of the PASL combined a team with Bellingham United that played the Tacoma Stars in the other Semifinal. It was fun seeing the black and white of the Hammers on an indoor pitch for the first time. Former South Sound Shock indoor players wore those kits under the name “South Sound United.” Western Indoor Soccer League Commissioner John Crouch liked the mix of teams and leagues. “We believe strongly that this type of competition between leagues is a great thing for our sport in Washington and the competition was pretty entertaining!” Crouch also had an eye on indoor officiating. “Along with our players and fans, the referee’s seemed excited about the indoor buzz in the area and all the games that will be happening this year. They put in some training tonight to make sure we have the best officiating this year in our region. It was a good sign of what’s to come from our crews this year.” “Congratulations to the Seattle Impact for the win in the tournament and thank you to the Tacoma Soccer Center for hosting,” said Crouch. The Tacoma Stars used their participation in the Northwest Indoor Soccer Invitational to gain further fitness for a group of likely starters. They also went deeper into the talent pool, getting valuable minutes to a few guys still hoping to impress head coach Darren Sawatzky. Now that coach Sawatzky has spent seven straight hours with his extended roster, he’s left with the task of deciding who might continue on with the team when the WISL season officially kicks off Nov. 15 at the Tacoma Soccer Center against Bellingham United. What he saw on Saturday and will continue to see in practices will help him make some tough decisions. Tickets to all Stars matches are available online at TacomaStars.com.

SPORTSWATCH LOGGERS’ TITLE HOPES SLIM AFTER 3-2 LOSS TO PACIFIC
Never giving up, the University of Puget Sound men’s soccer team came back to score two second half goals, but that was not enough as the Loggers fell to Pacific, 3-2, Sunday, Nov. 2 in Forest Grove, OR. Andrew White and Kenechi Agha were the goal scorers for the Loggers. White’s goal came in the 71st minute as he headed in a corner kick from Josh Sonico. This is White’s third header goal of the year. Scoring with his head as well was Agha, who put in a cross from Nick Campanelli in the final seconds of the match for his first goal of the year. To start the game, Puget Sound (12-5-2, 9-3-1 NWC) recorded it’s only save of the day. It came in the second minute as the Logger defense cleared a Pacific (7-10-1, 4-8-1 NWC) header off the goal line after a corner kick. In the 29th minute, Sean Ryan took the Loggers only shot on goal in the first half. It was saved by the Pacific goalkeeper, Leyton Thommasen. Scoring for the Boxers in the 34th minute was Diego Lopes. The Boxers dribbled down the left side and crossed the ball into the box for their first goal of the match. Pacific scored again in the 36th minute on a free kick from 25 yards out. The Boxers started the second half with a two-goal advantage. The Loggers used this as motivation as they took five shots before White found the back of the net in the 71st minute for his seventh goal of the year. Puget Sound’s defense held Pacific to just two shots in the second half. One of those shots was the Boxers third goal of the match in the 74th minute. Showing resilience, the Loggers took four shots that forced Thommasen to make big saves. White, Oliver Field and Connor LaFerriere nearly had second half goals for the Loggers. Their perseverance paid off with Agha’s header goal in the 90th minute, but it was too late for Puget Sound. The Loggers outshot the Boxers (16-7) and had more corner kicks (11-1). Puget Sound picked up three yellow cards in the match. Sonico and White led the Loggers in shots with three. With one game remaining, Puget Sound trails 13thranked Whitworth by 2 points in the standings. Whitworth has the advantage of having two games left on the schedule. Post-season chances are still excellent for the Loggers, as the NCAA Division 3 tourney consisted of 60 teams in 2013. UPS plays its last regular-season match of the year at home on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 1:30 pm against crosstown rival Pacific Lutheran.
LADY LUTES LOOK TO CLOSE OUT VOLLEYBALL SEASON WITH NWC TITLE
Pacific Lutheran volleyball will compete in its final two matches of the regular season this week, first hosting cross-town rival Puget Sound before traveling to Oregon to face Willamette. The 20th-ranked Lutes will host the Loggers on Wednesday, Nov. 5 at Names Family Court followed by a Friday night road match against the Bearcats. After going 2-0 over the weekend, the Lutes improved to a 12-2 Northwest Conference record and 19-4 overall. They remain tied with Whitworth for first place with the Pirates owning the season tie-breaker with the 5-3 set victory advantage. Leading the Lute attack and the NWC is Lucy Capron with 292 kills (3.70 per set), while Samantha North guides the offense with 10.66 assists per set, ranking 14th in the nation. On defense, Michaela Edgers leads with 66 total blocks and a 1.27 per set average that ranks second in the NWC. Libero Amber Aguiar continues to lead the NCAA Div. 3 rankings with 7.24 digs per set. With 579 digs thus far this season, Aguiar remains on course to break the PLU record for most digs in a season, a record that she herself broke last season with 589 digs. Prior to 2013, Rachelle Swonden had held this record since 1993 with 583 total digs. As a team, the Lutes rank sixth in the nation with 19.70 digs per set. UPS ranks third in the NWC, just behind PLU and Whitworth with a 10-4 NWC record and 11-12 overall. The Loggers are coming off a two-victory weekend with their sweeps of Pacific and George Fox. Leading for the Loggers offense is Nicolette Reynaud with 2.24 kills per set while Moira McVicar directs UPS with 7.74 assists per set. On defense, Rachel Garrison leads with 4.38 digs per set (407 total) while Emily Convery has 76 total blocks on the season. PLU and UPS have met twice this season, once at the Puget Sound Premier Tournament and once in a conference matchup at UPS. The Lutes swept the Loggers in the tournament matchup (25-17, 25-23, 25-18) and defeated UPS in five sets when they met earlier in conference play (25-19, 22-25, 25-15, 23-25, 15-8). Willamette owns a 6-8 NWC record and is 11-12 overall, which ranks them fifth in conference standings. Most recently, the Bearcats went 0-2 this weekend with a 1-3 loss to both Whitworth and Whitman. Sarah Fincher is leading the Bearcats offense with a 3.31 kills per set average, ranking second in the NWC. Directing the team is Lindsey Compton with her 626 total assists while Peyton Wahl heads up the defense with 4.20 digs per set. Taylor Gee leads with 82 total blocks. In their meeting earlier this season, PLU swept Willamette by scores of 25-16, 25-19 and 25-22. The Lutes have won the past 20 matches against the Bearcats.

Pacific Lutheran sophomore carries that level of achievement into the classroom, earning 2014 CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District Eight first team honors. Mitsui leads the Northwest Conference in save percentage (.897) and goals-against average (0.35) and has totaled 10 individual shutouts this season while anchoring a PLU defense that has the Lutes in contention for their first NWC title since 1992. In the classroom, she boasts a 3.88 grade point average while pursuing a nursing degree. She is the lone representative of the NWC on the all-district team. Members of the College Sports Information Directors Association (CoSIDA) nominate and vote on studentathletes who meet various requirements, including at least sophomore academic standing and a 3.3 grade point average. Student-athletes must also be either starters or key reserves on their teams. As an all-district honoree, Mitsui will advance to the ballot for Capital One Academic All-America honors.
LUTES MEN ADD FIVE TO ROSTER AS BASKETBALL SEASON NEARS
As the Pacific Lutheran men’s basketball team prepares for the 2014-15 season, the Lutes welcome five new faces to the program. The PLU class of recruits features four student-athletes who are natives to western Washington and one player from California. Three of the newcomers are guards, while one is a wing and one is a forward. “The members of our 2014-15 recruiting class have three things in common: each member of this class is from a successful program, is a good student and knows how to play the game,” PLU head coach Steve Dickerson said. “They all bring an intensity to our program and a desire to get things done in crunch time. We are extremely happy to welcome them all to our program.” Zacharias Wallin comes to PLU as a 6-4 forward from Bellevue. He was a physical rebounder at Eastside Catholic and helped lead the squad to a runner-up finish at the state championships during his senior season. “Zach brings a physical presence that we need,” Dickerson said. “He has a no-nonsense attitude about how the game should be played, and he is a grinder. On offense he can operate inside and be effective from the perimeter. He really knows how to play the game.” Jourdan Johnson is a 5-9 guard from Modesto, CA. He helped lead his Central Catholic High School team to the state semifinals, earning first-team all-league honors. Dickerson expects his quickness, scoring ability and leaderships skills to make a difference for the Lutes. “Jourdan is a tremendously well-rounded player,” Dickerson said. “He gets things done efficiently at both ends of the court, and he wants the ball in pressure situations. Markus Mitchell Glenn joins the PLU squad from Spanaway, where he helped lead Bethel High School to the West Central District finals. Dickerson praises the 5-11 Glenn’s ball-hawking skills and offensive quickness from the guard position. “Markus is very quick and is always around the ball,” Dickerson said. “He was an All-SPSL player, and he will play with the intensity, enthusiasm and toughness that we need.” Dylan Foreman is a 6-2 guard from Bellevue. He helped Bellevue High School reach the 3A state finals as a defensive stopper, and Dickerson expects those skills to continue to grow as his offense improves. “Dylan is a winner who knows how to play the game at both ends of the floor,” Dickerson said. “He has a high basketball IQ and is a very underrated offensive player. His defense is his calling card right now, but he will be a very good offensive player as he continues to mature.” Josh Baird joins the Lutes from Snohomish. A 6-2 wing, Baird played for legendary coach Len Bone at Snohomish High School. “Josh has worked very hard, and at this point is one of our most consistent rebounders,” Dickerson said. “He has great toughness and is willing to do anything to help make his team better.” The five incoming freshmen join a group of 13 returners for PLU. The Lutes first official contest of the season is set for Nov. 21 at the Doug McArthur Classic in Tacoma.
LOGGERS VOLLEYBALL FINISHING STRONG AS SEASON WINDS DOWN
Nicolette Reynaud and the Puget Sound volleyball team finished their 2014 home schedule in perfect fashion as the Loggers swept George Fox, 3-0 (25-18, 25-22, 25-9), at Memorial Fieldhouse on Saturday, Nov. 1. The Loggers (11-12, 10-4 NWC) honored Reynaud, the team’s senior captain, prior to Saturday’s match – the last home match of her Puget Sound career. The Los Gatos native led the Loggers with 9.5 points in the win over the Bruins (4-20, 3-11 NWC). Puget Sound’s sweep over George Fox comes one day after it topped Pacific, 3-0. The Loggers set the tone early behind Moira McVicar’s serving prowess as three aces helped Puget Sound claim a 6-0 lead in the first set. Puget Sound’s lead peaked at 17-8 after an attack error by the Bruins, and the Loggers held on for the 25-18 win. George Fox made a bit of noise by grabbing a 3-0 lead in the second set, but Shawna Smith’s service ace evened the score, 8-8. Neither side led by more than three points until the Loggers claimed a 23-19 lead, and Reynaud’s kill sealed the 25-22 win. Puget Sound was completely dominant in the third and final set as the Bruins were held to single-digit scoring. A 7-0 run allowed the Loggers to take a 12-3 lead en route to their big win. Puget Sound has two road games left on the season and sit currently in third-place in the NWC. Two wins and two losses by PLU and Whitworth would result in a three-way tie atop the NWC final standings.

the season by beating an injury-depleted Federal Way 34-27. The Titans average 37.9 points per game and give up just 16.7. Curtis will have all they can handle with Union. However, the Vikings have shown significant improvement since their Sept. 12 loss to the Titans and should make it a closer game than their prior meeting.
tle-tested Franklin Pierce. The Buccaneers are the fourth seed from the Olympic league which was bottom heavy after North Kitsap and Olympic at the top. Kingston’s three victories were against teams with losing records. The Cardinals have played a tougher schedule and have made short-work of the teams they should have beaten. Barring a big upset, Franklin Pierce would host a first-round state playoff game the following weekend. In all likelihood the Cardinals would face sixth-ranked Sedro-Woolley, which would prove to be an exciting, yet daunting match-up.

of the clock on the next drive. Starting from their own 37-yard line, PLU ran 13 plays that soaked 6:32 off of the clock when Gallant punched it into the end zone from the two-yard line. Rodriguez’ extra-point was good and the Lutes now led 14-3 with 9:05 remaining in the second quarter. On the following drive, UPS ran 12 plays, reaching the Lute 23-yard line. On the 13th play, Foley’s pass to freshman receiver Chris Branham fell incomplete and the Loggers turned the ball over on downs. PLU would follow with three plays, gaining just three yards and was forced to punt. It would take the Loggers just one play to get back in the ballgame. Taking the snap from the UPS 47-yard line, Foley connected with junior receiver Kevin Miller on a huge 53-yard touchdown pass and the Baker Stadium crowd went wild. Petre snuck the ball across the goal line for a two-point conversion and the PLU lead was cut to 14-11 with just 60-seconds remaining in the first half. Pacific Lutheran would require only 47 of those seconds as Ritchey rushed and passed the ball down to the UPS 22-yard line. On the next play, Madison broke into the clear and scrambled 22-yards for another touchdown. Following the Rodriguez kick the Lutes now led 21-11 and much of the new Logger momentum was swept away into halftime. On the opening drive of the second half UPS drove to the PLU 46-yard line before stalling and punting the ball away. PLU took over at their own 20-yard line and went back to work. Ritchey hit sophomore receiver Ben Welch for a 61-yard gain down to the UPS 19-yard line. On the next play, Ritchey connected with senior receiver Kyle Warner in the end zone and PLU now led 28-11 with 11:55 left in the third quarter. The score remained the same for the remainder of the third quarter, although the Lutes did get down to the UPS five-yard line before a Madison fumble was recovered by Mirande for his second recovery of the game. Early in the fourth quarter, Ritchey and the Lutes took over at the UPS 31-yard line following a failed fourth down attempt by the Loggers. It took one play for Ritchey to find Warner again for a 31-yard touchdown pass and the PLU lead was pushed to 35-11 with 13:56 remaining in the game. The Loggers would follow with an eight-play, 64-yard drive capped by a two-yard pass from Foley to Miller in the end zone. The two point conversion failed and the PLU lead was now 35-17 with 11:57 left in the game. PLU’s next drive stalled at the UPS 38-yard line and turned the ball over on downs. UPS would follow by driving all the way down to the Lute 11-yard line. Three straight Foley passes fell incomplete and the Loggers had to settle for a 28-yard field goal by Petre. PLU’s lead was now 35-20 with 7:08 remaining in the game. On the next possession, PLU recovered the Logger onside kick at the UPS 46-yard line. Six plays later, Ritchey found Warner in the far-right corner of the end zone for an 18-yard scoring strike and the Lute lead was pushed to 42-20 with 4:41 left in the game. Next, Foley was intercepted by senior linebacker Blake Petersen on the first play from scrimmage and PLU took over at the UPS 48-yard line. The Logger defense pushed the Lutes back to their own 49-yard line and forced a punt. Puget Sound put together one final drive before the day was over. Starting at their own 19-yard line, Foley pushed the Loggers downfield on an eight-play, 81-yard drive, capped by a touchdown pass to Branham. The score was now 42-27 and that’s where it would stay Just four more wins in a row to even up the all-time series Lutes. Pacific Lutheran improved to 3-2 in the Northwest Conference and 5-2 overall. Puget Sound fell to 2-3 in the NWC and 3-4 overall. Next up for the Lutes is a home game against Whitworth on Saturday, Nov. 8 at Sparks Stadium for a 1 p.m. kickoff. Next up for the Loggers is a 1 p.m. home game against Linfield the same day at Baker Stadium.
house football team and a bit of an enigma. While 3A Narrows league champion Lincoln has made short work of their competition this season (minus their 12-3 win over Wilson), it is hard to gauge exactly how good this team is, considering the lack of top-notch depth in the 3A Narrows league. It is hard to argue with fifth-ranked Lincoln’s numbers though. Every 11-man, high school football team trails the Abes 455 points scored this season. With an average of 50.6 points a game, Lincoln has put up points quickly, and from all over the field this season. Junior quarterback Jordan Kitna has thrown for 2,788 yards and 41 touchdowns; both numbers among the state’s best. On the other side of the ball, Lincoln’s defense gives up just 9.5 points per game, puts major pressure on opposing quarterbacks, causes turnovers and flies to the ball. Nathan Hale (3-6) is the eighth seed from the Metro conference and looks to be outmatched. However, Lincoln has had the injury bug bite them toward the end of the season. It is one issue that could cause the Abes serious trouble. If Lincoln wins, they will host a first-round state playoff game at Lincoln Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 15. Looking at the brackets, the Abes’ probable opponent would be third-ranked and perennial powerhouse O’Dea. A firstround win there would see Lincoln host yet another state game the following Saturday at Lincoln Bowl.
3A – wilSoN At BAllArd FridAy, Nov. 7 – memoriAl StAdium, SeAttle – 7:45 P.m.
If there was a dark horse in the bunch this year, it just might be the Wilson Rams (7-2). After losing a 12-3 heart breaker to Lincoln in a rainstorm, the Rams had to go on the road against Central Kitsap to decide the third and fourth seed out of the 3A Narrows. Wilson pulled off a gritty 27-26 road win and took the third seed. Ballard (5-4) is the champion of the 3A Metro Valley league and looks like a great match-up for the talented and athletic Rams. While the Beavers took their league title, they defeated lesser teams to get there. Ballard fell against stiffer competition, including a 49-0 loss to O’Dea to end the regular season. Wilson’s two losses were at the hands of two playoff teams (Lincoln and Capital), and the Rams had the opportunity to win both football games. With a penchant for come-from-behind wins and experience on the road, Wilson has a legitimate shot at winning this game and moving on to the first round of the state playoffs. If the Rams pull-off the upset, they will head to eastern Washington to face either Kamiakin or Shadle Park.
2A – KiNgStoN At FrANKliN Pierce FridAy, Nov. 7 – FrANKliN Pierce StAdium – 7 P.m.
Franklin Pierce (6-3) wasn’t expected to be an SPSL contender this season, but the Cardinals emerged from the highly-competitive league by defeating rival Washington 34-13 in the final regular season game. After two season-opening defeats to 3A Sumner and Lakes, the Cardinals won six of their last seven, suffering just one league loss on the road against a tough Steilacoom squad. Kingston (3-7) will have their hands full against bat-
Fife (6-3) had a surprising run out of the SPSL and remained in the league title hunt before falling to River Ridge 38-21 in the eighth game of the season. The Trojans had impressive, hard-fought wins against Steilacoom and Orting and nearly knocked-off Franklin Pierce. If Fife can keep the score close, they’ve got the experience to challenge for an upset. Liberty (6-3) has played a 3A-heavy schedule in the split 2A/3A KingCo conference and is its top seed. The ninth-ranked Patriots lost 37-0 against national powerhouse Bellevue, but notched five victories over 3A competition. The Trojans will have to play their best football of the season to pull-out the upset against Liberty. The 2A SPSL was tough, but Liberty has faced as difficult a schedule, and probably more so. Fife is 2-2 on the road this season, with both losses coming when they were the underdog. They’ve got the talent to win at Liberty, but it will take season-best performance. If Fife can make it past Liberty they will stay on the road for the first-round of the state playoffs and probably face top-ranked juggernaut Tumwater the following weekend.
1A – chArleS wright At Port towNSeNd FridAy, Nov. 7 - memoriAl Field – 7 P.m.
Charles Wright (3-5) has a difficult game against a familiar foe in Port Townsend. The Terriers ended the regular season on Oct. 31 with a road trip up the Olympic Peninsula to Port Townsend and were rocked 49-6. The second seed out of the Nisqually league gave up 368 yards on the ground to the Redhawks and it will have to come up with some solutions in a short amount of time to gain the upset. Port Townsend (7-2), the top seed from the Olympic league, has been just on the border of the 1A top 10 all season. The Redhawks score 38 points a game, while yielding just nine to its foes. If the Terriers manage to get out of Port Townsend with a win, they’ll face another wrecking-ball at sixth-ranked Eatonville the following weekend.
2B – AdNA At liFe chriStiAN SAturdAy, Nov. 8 – hArry lANg StAdium – 7 P.m.
Life Christian (6-2) moved down from the 1A classification and faced a full slate of games against mostlyunfamiliar opponents this season. After suffering a season-opening 46-20 loss to eighth-ranked Raymond, the Eagles buckled-down and put a five-game winning streak together. Third seed Life Christian then ran into the Pacific league’s other ranked team; third-ranked, league champion North Beach, and fell 38-6 under swamp-like field conditions in Ocean Shores. Adna (6-3) looks very similar to Life Christian and this may be the best match-up of all the Tacoma area teams for football fans. The fourth seed Pirates put together a successful season, but also faced the daunting task of navigating through a league schedule that also included two state-ranked opponents. Neither team fared well against top-ten teams, but looked solid, if not dominating, against the rest of their competition. This looks like a toss-up game, with the slight nod going toward the home team Eagles. Should Life Christian advance with a win, they will hit the road to face second-ranked, undefeated Napavine the following weekend.

When the vest comes off and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer onduty, she acts like any other spunky Labrador retriever. Kiley runs, plays fetch and even gets to sleep on the furniture. Some people see Kiley and think she is here just to comfort the kids. That couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be farther from the truth. Often, the victims most affected by Kiley are adults. One day, Kiley and Walker were in court providing comfort for a victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family when they noticed a woman, who was highly distraught, standing with a victim advocate. When Walker approached, the woman was crying and told her that she was the mother of a murder victim. Walker introduced Kiley to the woman,

A recent Supreme Court decision upheld the use of facility dogs in the courtroom, despite claims that the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence would prejudice the jury. By the end of 2013, there were approximately 49 courthouse dogs working in 21 states across the country.

In other city construction news, the City of Tacoma and University of WashingtonTacoma are working together to straighten out South 17th Street between Broadway and Pacific. The project has a budget of $1.8 million, which will be split between UWT and the city, with over $1 million coming from UWT. This money will go toward the construction of a retaining wall along the Twokoi side of the re-constructed 17th Street. Furthermore, improved ADA access as well as a better road, new street lights and improved pedestrian crossings are expected to be constructed as part of the project.

heech & Chong, the legendary comedy duo with a resume that includes nine hit comedy albums that had massive record sales and eight feature films that scored heavily at the box office, will be bringing their show to the Emerald Queen Casino on Nov. 8. The first movie made by Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong was the iconic stoner flick “Up In Smoke‚” which was the highest grossing comedy of 1978, with more than $100 million at the ticket booth. The pair eventually parted ways and concentrated on their solo careers for a few decades, but much to the delight of their adoring fans, the duo got back together in 2009 and it’s been a whirlwind ever since. Chong has been in the spotlight more than ever before with a place on the smash TV hit, “Dancing with the Stars,” which finds him keeping step with professional dancer partner Petra Murgatoyd. Chong tells us that he only has a few minutes because he is right in the middle of rehearsals for show. At 76, he was chosen to strut his stuff on the hit show and he quickly became a fan favorite. About his popularity on the show, “Yeah, I think I’m giving the government the finger, and the young folks like me because of that, as well as the old folks like seeing me be able to do it. Just the fact that, the culture that I represent, it’s like this, I could never be elected president, but I can sure win a Mirror Ball.” He’s clearly having a blast doing the show and he says, “The most fun is performing the night of the show on Monday night; that’s the most fun part. Doing the show.” Chong had his share of physical problems over the last few years including a bout with prostate cancer but he’s been able to keep up with his much younger dance partner, he tells us, “It’s incredibly physically demanding, but they’re pretty cool. They push us to our limit, and then they back off. It’s really demanding, but it’s so much fun. So, considering my age, I think I’m doing pretty well.” Chong got his start in the entertainment business a long, long time ago, even before his breakout success with his comedic partner. While still in his teens, he ventured with his band to Vancouver, B.C. from his native Alberta and started playing music for a living. While there, he opened his own music venue and he explains how things were for him around that time. “Well, I had a real good blues band. We were the very first actual R&B band on the West Coast. We had quite a reputation, so the guy

who owned the building asked me if I wanted to take over the steakhouse that he had that was empty. He said it would make a nice nightclub, but he didn’t want to run it and go through the hassle, so he handed it to me and my brother and I turned it into the Elegant Parlour. It was an after-hours blues club in Canada. It was like a bottle club, but we never had a liquor license. We also never had any hours, so we could open all night if we wanted to, which we did. We had another club called the Blues Palace; it was a converted movie theater, and we opened it with a band called Ike & Tina Turner Revue. We paid $750 for the whole band for one night.” Chong’s career has not been without pitfalls though. After a very successful run with Cheech, they decided to part ways and Marin went on to some big roles on television while Chong seemed to stay in the background. A government investigation led to a nine-month stint in prison that found him sharing a cell with Jordan Belfort, a.k.a. “The Wolf of Wall Street.” When asked about that period in his life he tells us that it was actually an honor that the government thought that much of a stoner to spend $12 million to come after him for selling drug paraphernalia on the Internet. With a grin on his face, Chong spryly admits, “Well, you know, I felt kind of honored in a way, because it showed that my take on things affected the United States government. Because we know what the DEA was all about.” Chong states, “It’s a racist law, and it’s just an excuse for them to go after black and brown people, and being brown, I took a stance to it, both in the movies and the records.” He continues, “They also got the message, and they wanted to make a statement of their own and incarcerate me. That backfired on them though, because I came out a lot more popular and with a lot more voice. I mean, look at me now – I’m on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ George Bush is still trying to atone for his sins that he committed while he was in office, so everything comes around.” Chong gives a little hint of what fans can expect at the upcoming Tacoma Cheech & Chong show. “Well, we’ve been doing bits that we’ve never done live. There are record bits of ours where, people will know the bits from the records, but
we’ve never done them live, so we’ve been doing those. And then we do our music that Cheech and I wrote.” The show starts at 8 p.m. Find tickets at www.ticketmaster.com.

THE THINGS WE LIKE ONE CD/DVD ART Do you have used CD or DVD discs that typically would just go in the trash? If so, the Arts EnviroChallenger program would love to take them off your hands. Sending teaching artists into grades K-5 in Tacoma Public Schools to teach children about visual art, science and sustainability, the discs are used as a base for a self-portrait project in the program’s kindergarten residencies. The program is also looking for National Geographic or Smithsonian magazines. Children in grades four and five use these to create collages. If you have any of these items to donate, please contact Naomi at (253) 591-5191 or nstrom-avila@cityoftacoma.org.

Students in Ms. Wongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3rd grade class at Washington-Hoyt Elementary first studied the life of Job Carr, then took a trip to the Job Carr Museum near Ruston Way. They were given a box and packages with things that represented his life, and then each worked on a story with pictures using the knowledge theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gained.

Monsters like these foods because the food is yummy! You know a monster is sick when it gets zigzags across their forehead. The best way to cure a sick monster is to give him powdered sugar and honey. One thing you should never do to a sick monster is give him a fiery burrito from Taco Bell. Monsters love to do tricks! A really fun trick you can teach your monster, is to do a backwards walk on a tightrope! Another really cool trick is to jump rope on water. Just to be on the safe side, you should never let your monster play soccer in a candy jar. The best way to exercise a monster is to have an ice cream eating contest.

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA
Museum of the Week:

Foss Waterway Seaport
dave@tacomaweekly.com
The art world these days is a giant free-for-all. Anyone with a wisp of inspiration can run down to Fred Meyer, buy a couple of brushes and a set of acrylics and commence to crank out paintings. There is no culturally agreed standard for what is or is not acceptable and so everyone is welcome into the fray. Gone are the days when national academies determined who was an artist and who was not. Gone are the times of broad art movements like impressionism, cubism, abstract expressionism. Everything is fair game now. One can go to art school and learn from a teacher, or not. Yet, amid this democratization of art, there remains a yearning for an earlier era in which master artists took on students who learned their trade by working from a live model. Figure drawing groups are as popular now as they have ever been. A prime example of this desire for being part of a group or school of artists is the students of Simon Kogan, a group of talented painters and sculptors that have been working away (meeting every Thursday) at a warehouse in Olympia. Under the eye of a master artist, they work from live models. Their master, Kogan, is a Russian artist trained in the old Soviet Union in the classical tradition, who immigrated to the United States in 1991 and has chalked up an impressive list of achievements. The students of Kogan have been meeting for more than a decade now and they have assembled a stunning show at Pacific Lutheran University’s Gallery (housed in Ingram Hall, the art building). The group consists of Roger Cummings, Heather

The major maritime legacy project of the Washington Centennial commemoration in 1989 was the construction, launch and maiden voyage of the tall sailing ship Lady Washington. This state heritage and economic development effort, centered in Aberdeen, spawned several other significant maritime programs during the ensuing 25 years. The very active Centennial maritime program, chaired by Les Eldridge, included the Washington Ships Flotilla to EXPO 86, Wilkes Heritage Flotilla, and led to Tall Ships events in Seattle and Tacoma in 2002, 2005 and 2008. Maritime historian Chuck Fowler, a Centennial maritime project consultant, and Captain Les Bolton, executive director of the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, will showcase these and related programs. They will discuss how these public activities led to a resurgence of interest in Washington maritime history, including the native Salish canoe culture. Admission is $5 per person. Please note: the Seaport can get chilly in the off-season. We strongly encourage you to bundle up when you come. See you on the Foss!
Seaport Exhibits: Peek into Our Attic and Share Our Dream
The Seaport is a place where stories are told with artifacts gathered on extended loan. Our hands-on activities blend the history of our region’s working waterfront with the science of Puget Sound’s waterways. Many of our new exhibits will be linked to schools’ social studies, history, science and economics curricula and state standards.
Boats for all Occasions
See our wonderful collection of classic recreational boats in an exhibit called “Boats for all Occasions,” which includes original Andrew Foss rowboats; Willits canoes: Faith, our Columbia gillnetter outfitted for youth boater education; hand-built small craft for cruising local waterways, and impeccably restored Poulsbo boats. Also included are a number of models from the Mosquito Fleet era.
Boat Shop
Our active Heritage Wooden Boat Shop allows Seaport volunteer boatbuilders to celebrate and preserve traditional maritime construction and craft. Our boat shop provides: “Hot shop” activities for guests to observe when our Museum is open. A showcase for traditional maritime crafts and construction skills. Workshops by master boat builders who are part of the Seaport volunteer boat building team. Copies of historic vessels for the Seaport’s boat livery to be offered as rentals in the future. Opportunities to learn about restoring and maintaining boats and maritime artifacts. Volunteer opportunities are available for people at all skill levels.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going to eat that?â&#x20AC;? A more serious question than you might think, as explored in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waste Not: Breaking Down the Food Equation,â&#x20AC;? a new documentary by the award-winning filmmakers of Pacific Lutheran Univesityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MediaLab program. The movie will debut at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, at Broadway Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre on the Square. The free event will include by a panel discussion, and we caught up with producers Taylor Lunka and Amanda Brasgalla, both senior communications students at PLU, to learn more. Tacoma Weekly: So why this particular project?
Brasgalla: A U.N. report released in 2013 said that 1/3 of the food produced in the world goes to waste. So that kind of propelled us into the subject of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why does 1/3 of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food go to waste when so many go hungry?â&#x20AC;? So we started exploring the issue, looking into food recovery organizations, government associations and just people that are invested in the issue. TW: When and where did you make the film people are going to see this weekend? Brasgalla: We traveled around the United States and Canada, and a little bit in the U.K., during the month of June. Once we got back from that trip, we went into the lab and just started piecing the film together. Taylor and I have been on this project for about a year now.

you? Lunka: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of those things that can connect everyone, no matter where you are in the world. Food is so important to everything that we do every day. We meet for holidays. We meet friends for lunch. We set up meetings around food. Food is everything, when you think about it in a bigger picture. TW: What is the No. 1 message you hope people take away when they see your film? Lunka: The big takeaway we really want is just to educate people on food and the issue of wasted food. There are things that every single one of us can do as consumers of food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an issue we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have control over. Everyone can do something about this problem. TW: Is the U.S. exceptional in the amount of food we waste? Brasgalla: The U.S. wastes about 40 percent of the food that it produces. Europe only wastes about 30 percent. The thing is, food waste happens at different points in the chain depending on (whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) western countries or eastern countries. For western countries, the majority of food is wasted on a consumer level. Then for non-western countries theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly in production and distribution. TW: What accounts for that difference? Brasgalla: In western countries, a lot of times weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have ways of getting food to places and also refrigeration that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always available in non-western countries. In western countries, you could attribute it to the fact that we have a lot of land. We have a lot of places that produce food, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheap. So, for us, food is less valuable. TW: Will you be holding a discussion before or after the film? Lunka: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have an introduction. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna show the film, and after the film we have a panel of specialists that can answer any audience questions, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have some discussion questions of their own. TW: Are you going to screen it any more locally? Are you looking for distribution? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the future for this film? Brasgalla: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll submit our documentary to film festivals, both nationally and internationally. ... So we will go through the festival process, and at the end of that process we will have a university screening for PLU, possibly in the spring. Then some of the food recovery organizations want copies for their own personal showings.

WORSHIP MUSIC. Hillsong United will play songs from new album “Zion” on Nov. 15
By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
Metalheads get their mosh on every summer at Mayhem Tour. For two days in June, hip-hop heads migrate east to the Gorge Amphitheatre to check out Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar, Sir Mix-ALot and more at KUBE 93’s Summer Jam; and now local Christian pop fans are getting amped for a jam of their own. Winter Jam 2014 will bring some of the biggest names in worship music to the Tacoma Dome on Nov. 15. The likes of Jeremy Camp, Colton Dixon, Francesca Battistelli, Australia’s Hillsong United and more, 11 acts in all for the relatively modest ticket price of $10. “To be honest, pretty much what we get to do is just bring church,” said Taya Smith, a singer for Hillsong United, the event’s headlining act. “Wherever we are, we just bring what we do at home to a corporate worship setting. ... It’s definitely encouraging to be around other people who are out doing the same thing that we are, but in their own personal way. I’m pumped.” For the uninitiated, Hillsong United is a Christian pop act – initially led by singer-songwriters Reuben Morgan and Marty Sampson – that grew out of the youth ministry band at Hillsong Pentecostal megachurch in Sydney, Australia. The group perform worldwide, enjoying some of its greatest popularity in the U.S. Its latest album, “Zion,” reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Christian Albums chart. “I think we’re known better in America, mostly because the Christian music industry is so much bigger,” Smith said, chuckling. “The American Christian music industry is five times bigger than our main, secular music industry, or even big-
ger than that. It’s kind of funny.” Before joining the group, Smith seemed destined to make a name for herself in the world of secular pop, especially after making a big impression while trying out for the Australian version of NBC-TV’s hit talent competition, “The Voice.” “It seemed like I got a really good response,” she
Winter Jam featuring Hillsong United, Jeremy Camp, Colton Dixon and more 6 p.m. Nov. 15 Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. ‘D’ St., Tacoma $10 www.tacomadome.org www.jamtour.com recalled. “But one of my really close friends said, ‘I’ll support you whichever way you want to go. But you know if you do this everything’s gonna change.’” Adding to Smith’s apprehension were the experiences of another friend, 2009 “Australian Idol” winner Stan Walker. “He’s great, but what he had, I just didn’t want it,” she said. “I didn’t know if it was the fame side of things, or whether it was the contract side of things or the type of music he was making. I just knew it wasn’t me.” Around the same time, she was becoming heavily involved in worship services at the Hillsong Church, which led to a meeting with Michael Guy Chislet, a singer-songwriter who – unbeknownst to her at the time – had produced and

played on several Hillsong albums. “I got a text from Michael asking me to come in and sing,” said Smith, whose shimmery soprano first appears on newer Hillsong fan favorite, “Oceans.” “I’ve been with Hillsong United for the last year and a half, so I’m still kind of new to it,” she said. “But I’m so thankful I am here where I am and in the church that I’m in and under the leadership that I’m in because it’s the best and I feel like I’m learning so much and I’m thriving. God has been really good to me.” Following this month’s appearance at the Tacoma Dome, local fans’ next opportunity to see Hillsong will likely be on the big screen. Smith provided a few details for “Let Hope Rise,” a forthcoming documentary by Warner Brothers and Alcon Entertainment that chronicles the group’s growing popularity in the U.S. “It’s crazy. There are these big names that would like to tell the story of what we get to do,” she said. “It’s kind of cool because obviously some of these guys involved in it aren’t Christians, and it’s just cool to even see their journey as they’re trying to figure it out. If one person meets Jesus through this film, that’s what the whole thing is there for.” “Let Hope Rise” will likely make its debut next spring, she said. LAGGIES (99 MIN, R)

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Your health and wellness should be your main focus this week. If you have been putting off that checkup or trip to the dentist, now is the time for follow through. Knowing what’s going on can give you a sense of relief. There may be a financial or legal issue that needs your partner’s input.
LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Constant scrambling to get things done is draining your energy. Pre-planning your actions will save you time and release mental stress. When you are off balance it affects your whole being. Take up meditation or yoga to help you awaken your inner energy centers. Make lists.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) This weekend could be packed full of romantic surprises so enjoy the thrill. Someone special has been thinking about you and wishes to rekindle a relationship. Keep up your great sense of humor and allow annoyances to roll of your back. Laughter and smiling are contagious.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Consistent, idle drivel is annoying. Sometimes we may not realize the words we speak. Decide to choose your words more wisely and encourage others to do so in a respectful manner. You have a lot to share and brighten many people’s day. Keep up your good work and attitude.
GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) An important epiphany may manifest itself to you that could be life-changing. You gain a deeper importance of friends and family as you begin to take life more seriously. Make a financial plan now and stick to your budget to avoid overspending during the holiday season.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The levee may soon break. Emotional walls that have been put up for many years are crumbling at your feet. This will ultimately be a good thing although there may be some tears shed or changes made. Life must go on regardless of our personal feelings, thoughts or opinions.
CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) This may be an emotional week for you, both at home and at work. Feelings that are hard to express may come out like a tidal wave. Think before you speak, when you can, to avoid saying something that you may regret. Sometimes we all need to vent – regardless of others’ feelings.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) A recent loss or tragedy may still weigh heavy in your heart. Work through your pain and take time to heal wounds. An unusual or special gift will come to you when you are ready to accept it. A family member needs your guidance, attention and support. Give as much as you can.
LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) A problem that has had you stressed out will work itself out this week. Sometimes doing nothing solves everything. You may find or be given extra money that will help out in a pinch. The rain may have you feeling a bit gloomy. Spend some time outside every day taking a walk or bike ride.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) People are talking good about you – speaking your name in social circles and admiring your accomplishments. You are being discovered as a unique asset in your career or social life. Don’t be surprised if you receive an increase in emails, texts, phone calls and social media interactions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Problematic issues may keep popping up for you this week. Every obstacle will have its own unique solution. Look for signs to guide you in dreams and coincidences. Synchronicity has its own special magic. Beware of distracting excessive social media interactions. Keep your life private.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Our bodies heal physical and emotional ailments in their own time. Recovery can be relevant to time and mental acuteness. A positive mental state can go a long way. Take it easy and appreciate the little things that loved ones provide for you. Money matters are like a roller coaster.

Angela Rose passed away peacefully surrounded by her 4 children on October 21st. She joined her husband, Randy, who recently passed away in February. Angela was born in Detroit, Michigan to Italian immigrants Joseph and Angelina Raiti on March 24th 1943. She was the second of two children and enjoyed having her very large extended family live nearby. Growing up, Angie attended St. Mary’s Academy in Detroit. Her brother recalls that she had many friends and he would often have the task of driving the giggling girls around town. In her twenties she belonged to the Tip-Toppers Club, a club for tall women. She even participated in a beauty contest. She got to be on a game show called, “What’s My Line” with celebrity guest stars. She was the first female Customs Inspector and was featured in the paper. Angie attended Wayne State University and eventually transferred to Palmer College in Iowa where she met her future husband, Randy Williams. The couple married in 1974 at St. Mary’s where she had gone to school. Once married the couple moved back to Randy’s hometown, Edgewood Washington to start their family. They had 4 children and Angela stayed at home to raise and care for her family while also working in Randy’s chiropractic office part time. Once their children were older Angie attended the University of Washington to finish her bachelor’s degree.

“Joey” Are you looking for someone who needs a great home? Someone who needs a second chance? Someone smart and friendly? Look no further, this little guy is one cool cat! Joey is a 6 year old black domestic short hair who came to us after a big adventure! He bravely spent a few weeks on the street after his family moved away, until a neighbor realized he was a total love bug. Joey came to us with a bite on his tail, but otherwise healthy, happy and calm . He has an adventurous side but mostly just wants to cuddle, and loves his head scratched. We do not know much about his history so a slow introduction to kids and other pets is recommended. Come meet this cool cat today and give him some love! Reference 3A491544
