MT. TAHOMA HONORS VETERANS AT THREE DIFFERENT ASSEMBLIES By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com
In 2013, 19.6 million veterans were living in the United States, and honoring these veterans is a value many adults want to pass on to their children. With this in mind, Tacoma’s Mt. Tahoma High School honored veterans in their own way at multiple Nov. 7 assemblies. Students at the school were able to celebrate several different groups of veterans from all five of the U.S service branches – Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy – through three different

ART. Tacoma Art Museum’s Haub Gallery of Western Art grand opening is Nov.15. By Steve Dunkelberger

stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
acoma Art Museum held a press preview of the much-anticipated Haub Gallery of Western Art on Nov. 12, capping a four-year effort that included the gifting of some 295 pieces of art from Erivan and Helga Haub and their family to create one of the most complete collections of art of the American West in the nation. The grand opening gala for the public will be Nov. 15, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Get details at TacomaArtMusuem.com. The Haub donation led to the creation of a new art wing that added 16,000 square feet of display space in four galleries to showcase works that include ones that have never been on public display. The Haub Family Collection of Western American Art includes works spanning more than 200 years by 140 artists, among them Albert Bierstadt, George Catlin, John Clymer, Thomas Moran, Georgia O’Keeffe, Frederic Remington and Kevin Red Star. “The closest similar gallery is 1,000 miles away,” Haub Gallery Curator Laura Fry said, noting that the Tacoma gallery space rivals a Los Angeles museum as well as museums in New York, Colorado and Texas. The collection includes sculptures and paintings of traditional horses and cowboys as well as alluring landscapes, superb portraits and delightful pop-art takes on the American u See TAM / page A16

BEER AND BOURBON
T
acoma Art Museum celebrated the largest gift in the museum’s 79-year history with two limited editions: a signature Harmon ale and a Heritage bourbon. In honor of the Haub Family Collection of Western American Art and the museum expansion, TAM partnered with Tacoma’s Harmon Brewing Co. and Gig Harbor’s Heritage Distilling Co. to craft these two special beverages in time for the grand opening Nov. 15. “To toast the new Western American art collection and the museum expansion, we collaborated with TAM and arrived at Tacoma New West CDA, a unique Cascadian dark ale brewed with six different malted barleys and chocolate wheat,” said Jeff Carlson, head brewer at Harmon. “It is black like a stout, and the flavor is hoppy like an IPA. It is a complex, wonderful combination of roasted malts with piney and citrusy hop notes. The flavor profile perfectly blends the Old West and the Northwest.” The signature brew is now for sale in all Harmon Brewing locations, and a special limited edition will be available in the TAM Cafe. Heritage Distilling Co.’s inaugural batch of Tacoma New West Bourbon Whiskey was created exclusively for TAM to honor the links between the Haub collection and Tacoma’s heritage. The distillery’s motto, “every spirit has a story,” reflects the owners’ pride in creating spirits that are rooted in history after all. The historical ties between whiskey and the American West presented the perfect opportunity to collaborate. Tacoma New West Bourbon Whiskey will be sold at Heritage locations and through regional restaurants and retailers; the museum is also pursuing the option of selling it at the TAM store.

OWNERS OF UNKEMPT PROPERTIES COULD FACE HEAVY FINES By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Banks that own foreclosed houses and out-of-town building owners might want to keep better tabs on their properties now that Tacoma City Council unanimously passed an ordinance earlier this month that would fine them up to $500 a year for allowing their properties to decay from neglect. The fines are meant to help cover the city’s added expenses of investigating abandoned buildings as well as the increased police activities often associated with vacant properties that are not properly secured and maintained. u See FINES page A6

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK
6th and Cedar 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.

Bulletin Board 911 TACOMA AVE. S. BUILDING TO BE TORN DOWN Over the years, the “911 Building� as it is more commonly called, has housed various Pierce County departments and leased tenants, including the former 911 Deli. The building, which was built in the early 1900s, had been lightly used in recent years and was vacated last year after an analysis of structural and electrical systems deemed it unsafe for occupancy. Pierce County awarded the contract to Dickson Company for deconstruction and demolition, which will occur in two phases. Dickson will remove materials containing asbestos, including floor tile and adhesives, as well as mercury thermostats and flourescent lamp ballasts. That’s expected to take about two weeks. Facilities Management has hired NOW Environmental Services, Inc, an independent inspection firm, to verify hazardous and regulated materials are removed and disposed of in compliance with all local, regional, state and federal requirements. Demolition of the structure will occur after the hazardous and regulated materials are removed. Parking and sidewalk disturbances are expected, so the contractor will place notices and barriers. The floor slab and building foundations will remain in place. There are no further plans for the site at this time. The contractor will use “selective demolition� to deconstruct the building. This demolition method maximizes the salvage, reuse and recycling of materials, and minimizes items sent to the waste stream and landfills. 15 NOW TACOMA INVITES PUBLIC TO WEEKLY MEETINGS Come take part in the weekly action group meeting to learn about the campaign to raise the minimum wage in Tacoma. Childcare will be provided – just email the meeting organizers at 15nowtacoma253@gmail.com to let them know that you are bringing your child(ren) so that preparations can be made. The meeting will be held at First United Methodist Church, 621 Tacoma Ave. S. (around back) on Nov. 15, 4-5:30 p.m. Contact Sarah for more info: (253) 973-8153. Like “15 Now Tacoma� on Facebook to stay updated on events. AIDS FOUNDATION PURCHASES, RENOVATES NEW FACILITY With the swing of a sledgehammer, the Pierce County AIDS Foundation kicked off the renovation of its new home on the first day of demolition, Oct. 13. The work, expected to finish in January, will result in a larger and more welcoming space for clients affected by HIV/AIDS in the South Sound. PCAF purchased the building at 3009 S. 40th St. in Tacoma and will renovate it thanks to financing from the Washington State Housing Finance Commission and its own fundraising. “The facility will provide an environment that is warm and inviting for those we serve, who often face stigma in our community,� said Duane Wilkerson, executive director. “Those who come through our doors face many challenges and difficulties. We are committed to creating a welcoming space that honors them and their struggles, and provides dignity and respect for all.� The 9,850 sq. ft. building offers 40 percent more space than PCAF’s current location, while at the same time reducing costs by 35 percent. The building features six private interview rooms, meeting rooms for support groups and workshops, and a more spacious and comfortable waiting room, among many other amenities. Renovations are being made with energy efficiency and environmental standards in mind and include natural and LED lighting, an energy efficient HVAC system, and use of recycled materials. Zenczak & Partners Architects, A.I.A. and BPCI / Accrete Construction L.L.C. have been contracted by PCAF for the project. PCAF financed the purchase of the building and the majority of the funds needed for renovation through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. The total project budget is $1.6 million. “The Commission expanded our purchasing power, by providing us with a lower interest rate on the mortgage and allowing us to buy the right building for our needs now and in the future,� said Wilkerson. “We’re delighted to be a part of this major step for Pierce County AIDS Foundation and its mission in the community,� said Karen Miller, chair of the Housing Finance Commission. Fundraising is underway for support to complete the buildout, furnish the building and install technology, with a goal of raising the remaining approximately $250,000 by Dec. 31, 2014. Individuals and foundations can learn about opportunities to support the project at www.piercecountyaids.org. STRICKLAND, WOODARDS KICK OFF ‘MY BROTHER’S KEEPER’ CHALLENGE Mayor Marilyn Strickland has accepted a challenge issued by President Barack Obama that calls on cities to address opportunity gaps faced by young men of color. The “My Brother’s Keeper� challenge seeks to build and execute plans to ensure that all youth can reach their full potential, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born. “I accepted the president’s challenge because we must address this issue if Tacoma is going to thrive as a city. There are many organizations in Tacoma doing great work to close the opportunity gap,� said Strickland. “From education to job training and hiring practices, our Local Action Summit will bring partners together to develop an action plan that intentionally helps our young men of color succeed.� “A key factor that determines whether minority youth
advance in public, private or non-profit environments is whether or not they personally believe success to be achievable,� said Deputy Fire Chief Tory Green. “Simply put, the more minority youth see successful adults that look like them, the more ‘real’ reaching those same levels of success becomes. For that reason, adult minorities holding high-level positions in all sectors of society must become more actively and visibly involved in their communities.� “The ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ challenge will leverage the collective work already going on throughout our community, so that we can provide greater opportunities for boys and young men of color in Tacoma,� said Deputy Mayor Victoria Woodards. The “My Brother’s Keeper� challenge provides for specific timelines as to when milestones must be met. Within 120 days of the Local Action Summit, the working group must produce a report with recommendations. The Local Action Summit took place Nov. 12 at the University of Puget Sound.
YOUTH HOLD MARCH FOR THE HOMELESS At any given time 3,000 youth and young adults are experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness in Pierce County. National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week is Nov. 15-23, and to mark the occasion in Tacoma, the Youth Coalition to End Homelessness is sponsoring a march on Nov. 14. It starts at 4:30 p.m. at the REACH Center, 714 S. 27th St., and marches to Pugnetti Park at South 21st Street and Pacific Avenue, where a rally will be held at 6 p.m. The march and rally will include youth speakers, signs and information in order to raise awareness about this issue. After the march participants will show solidarity with all homeless youth by sleeping in the park. Youth speakers will be present at the park, as well as entertainment and refreshments.

PUYALLUP CAR PROWLER ON THE LOOSE By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox
Car prowls continue to be a problem around Western Washington, but police in Puyallup are hoping to identify at least one crook who was caught on camera. “When I grew up, you DAVID ROSE could leave your car unlocked,” said Arlene Luton. “You could leave your house unlocked.” She knows you can’t do that now, but she still never thought there would be crime in her Puyallup neighborhood. “You just don’t expect it to come out to your home, you know? This is where you’re supposed to feel safe.” But a couple weeks ago, someone broke into the SUV parked right in front of her house. She remembers her dog barking that night. “He was just growling just really bad, and we weren’t paying any attention to him. He kept walking up to the front door. I wish we had paid attention.” Arlene lost a Kindle, some ceramic figures and a car motor still in its box with its receipt. The next day, a man tried to return that motor to National Auto Parts.
The store owner had a feeling something was wrong. “She knew her customers,” said Puyallup police detective Mike Lusk. “So when she saw this particular part and the receipt with it, she said that’s one of my customers. This guy had a story that was his aunt and he’s bringing it back for her.” When she found out the part had been stolen, she gave surveillance video of the suspect to police. They’re hoping someone can help them identify the man, who may be responsible for other thefts in the area. Arlene said she’s learned her lesson
about leaving items in plain sight. Now she just wants the man caught, so he won’t steal from anyone else. “He was apparently not raised with manners. He was apparently not raised with any values,” she lamented. If you recognize him, call Crime Stoppers of Tacoma/Pierce County at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. All calls are anonymous and there is a cash reward for information leading to an arrest. Be sure to catch “Washington’s Most Wanted” on Friday nights at 9:30 p.m. on JoeTV and 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.
NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION ON NOV. 14, TACOMA WILL TELL USPS TO STOP DELAYING AMERICA’S MAIL
A
merica’s four postal unions are holding a National Day of Action on Friday, Nov. 14, when members of those unions and their community supporters across the country will send a powerful message to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe and the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors: stop delaying America’s mail! In Tacoma, USPS employees and their allies will rally from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Tacoma Processing and Delivery Center at 4001 S. Pine St. The proposed cuts, scheduled to begin Jan. 5 and be completed by July of 2015, will absolutely affect Tacoma’s mail service. Changes to mail processing operations at the processing and delivery center will eliminate approximately 200 jobs and end the public’s overnight first-class mail service even within the same zip code. These cuts will be implemented despite the fact that the USPS has generated a profit on operations for the last two years, which should negate the need for these devastating
service reductions. Two other rallies will be held on Friday in Seattle and Wenatchee, where cuts will be affecting service as well. Join the rally and talk with U.S. Postal Service employees, union and concerned community members. On Jan. 5, 2015, the postmaster general and the Board of Governors are poised to make devastating cuts in service to the American people – cuts so severe that they will forever damage the U.S. Postal Service. In an Oct. 16 letter calling for the National Day of Action to stop the cuts, the presidents of the four postal unions – the American Postal Workers Union, National Association of Letter Carriers, National Postal Mail Handlers Union and National Rural Letter Carriers Association – said: s The USPS is slated to lower “service standards” to virtually eliminate overnight delivery, including first-class mail from one address to another within the same city or town.
s All mail, including medicine, online purchases, local newspapers, church bulletins, bill payments and sale notices, throughout the country will be delayed. s Beginning Jan. 5, 2015, 82 mail processing and distribution centers are scheduled to close or “consolidate operations.” These cuts will cause hardships for customers, drive away business, cause irreparable harm to the U.S. Postal Service and lead to massive schedule changes and reassignments for employees. They are part of a flawed management strategy that has unnecessarily sacrificed service and failed to address the cause of the Postal Service’s manufactured financial crisis. The unions have set up a website at www.StopMailDelays.org to share information and resources. For more information contact Robert Hill at (253) 226-8437 or Kathy Cummings at (206) 604-3698.
An eagle-eyed police officer followed his hunch that a man driving a car without its lights on and dragging a piece of metal that scraped along the road at the intersection of South 56th Street and South Pacific Avenue on Nov. 9 just might be up to no good. Bingo. The officer followed the car and activated his emergency lights. The driver stopped in the middle of the intersection and lunged about 20 feet as the officer approached the car. The smell of booze assaulted the cop’s face as he tried to talk to the driver. The driver was too intoxicated to even form words and failed to answer the officer’s questions. The man, however, did try to put the car in gear to drive away from the officer in a failed effort to avoid further questions. The driver was removed from the car and stumbled to the ground before being handcuffed. His passenger admitted to police that the two had been drinking and the driver was trying to go home when he hit the concrete island and warning signs along South 54th Street, lodging part of a sign under the car before driving off. The driver refused to give a breath test and was taken to jail. He complimented the cop for “being the coolest cop to arrest me … like f---ing ever.” Apparently the drunken driver is a Taylor Swift fan. Compiled by Steve Dunkelberger

UWT REVAMPS BOOKSTORE TO BECOME COMMUNITY HUB
Chamber recognizes Military citizen of the year The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Tacoma #8, presented the 36th annual John H. Anderson Military Citizen of the Year Award to Colonel H. Charles “Chuck� Hodges Jr. Hodges has more than 29 years of service in the U.S. Army. He has served as Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s commander since August 2012. He and his wife, Cathy, have two children, Shelby and Sam. As JBLM commander, he leads the nearly 3,500 soldiers, airmen and civilians who comprise the Joint Base staff. Hodges’ commitment to the quality of life of more than 100,000 service members, civilian employees and family members who are assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the critical missions they support, and the communities neighboring Joint Base Lewis-McChord, make him an excellent choice for the award. As commander of the Department of Defense’s largest operational joint base, Hodges leads a team that gets results by working collaboratively with federal, state, county and local government officials, business and community leaders. These achievements include: Helping reduce I-5 traffic congestion by coordinating and facilitating the construction of a base connector road and overpass. When it opens this spring, this new road will take more than 500 daily commuter trips off I-5 each day by allowing JBLM commuters to drive non-stop from Lewis-Main to McChord Field without having to use I-5 or exit and re-enter JBLM through its gates. Helping replace five of six aging Joint Base LewisMcChord schools thanks to a partnership between JBLM, the state’s congressional delegation, state and local officials. Leading Joint Base LewisMcChord to a Silver Army Communities of Excellence Award in 2013 and a Bronze Army Communities of Excellence Award
in 2014 – the industry equivalent of the Baldridge Award for organizational distinction. Hodges has, and will continue to, help more than 8,500 soldiers and airmen each year transition from military service to the civilian workforce through a comprehensive, multi-track transition assistance program that helps service members chart their education goals, start new businesses, retrain into highdemand trades through apprenticeship programs, or to be competitive for jobs in the civilian workforce. These efforts are the result of the strong relationship he’s helped build between Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the State of Washington, community organizations, businesses, unions, higher education and military leadership inside and outside the state. As evidence of this, Joint Base Lewis-McChord hosted a service member for life summit that ended with a hiring fair attended by approximately 3,000 service members, family members and veterans. Two hundred and forty eight employers, educators and service organizations with more than 1,300 job openings attended. Approximately 212 immediate job openings were filled that day. Aggressively sponsoring a growing relationship between Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the business community and unions. These opportunities include ongoing apprenticeship and job training programs, which are putting local service members into HVAC, welding jobs, trucking, painting, and software apprenticeships and training programs. Future opportunities include job training into the solar and renewable energy areas, medical career fields, hotel management and retail. Hodges is an excellent selection for the John M. Anderson Military Citizen of the Year Award. The countless hours he has donated to the community will be appreciated for years to come.

REVAMPED. University Book Store at UWT now looks more like a community lounge than a place to just get textbooks and pencils. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
University Book Store at University of Washington-Tacoma has a new look and feel now that the Pacific Avenue shop has revamped its stock and layout to serve the greater community in downtown Tacoma rather than just students in search of textbooks. The shop now has a formal open-door policy with the Starbucks store next door, so latte hunters can sit in the overstuffed chairs and tap on their laptops by the bookstore’s fireplace if the coffee shop seats are filled. The bookstore has movable bookshelves that allow customers to browse for best sellers, thrillers or children’s books during the day. Those shelves can then be pushed away to create space for special lectures during evening hours. Author events, kids story times and Husky game-day viewings on a flat-screen television are already riding the calendar. Plans also include webcasting special events and lectures live from the Seattle campus to the UWT store. One of the biggest draws in the shop, however, will likely be the added seating that lines the bay windows that run the length of the Pacific Avenue store since the seats provide 180-degree views of the bustling downtown. The store also now has outdoor
seating with shaded tables or for lounging in wideback patio chairs. While the focus of the remodel was to create a community bookstore feel, store manager Sebastian Levy Aldrete said, “The store is still the hub of student textbooks, Husky gear and school supplies.� “We didn’t lose a single book,� he said, noting that the reason behind the store’s “refresh� was to be more approachable and comfortable rather than to necessarily boost sales. Levy-Aldrete’s vision was to create a community destination where book lovers, shoppers, families and students “come on in, sit down and enjoy our space.� The store also has expanded its own food selection to include sandwiches, salads, snacks and beverages, and shares an interior door with Starbucks, which offers its own selection. University Book Stores carry more than 140,000 new and used book titles, along with a varied merchandise mix that includes school, art and office supplies, UW insignia gear, gifts and technology products through a for-profit corporate trust that benefits UW students, faculty, staff and alumni. All profits not required for store operations or growth are returned to the UW community through an annual UW customer rebate, lower textbook prices, discounts, scholarships and other benefits.

BREAK-UPS, REJECTIONS AND SCHOOL SHOOTINGS: Educate youth for resiliency
By Laura Finley The tragic shooting on Friday, Oct. 24 at Marysville-Pilchuck High School outside of Seattle reignited public conversations about the factors that prompt young people to commit mass murders on school grounds. As usual, these conversations largely focused on access to guns and school security. Because the 15-year-old perpetrator, Jaylen Fryberg, was not a stereotypical loner, victim of bullying, or suffering from any previously diagnosed mental illness – the typical explanations for school shootings – people have struggled to identify the specific cause of his attack. Scholars like Jackson Katz have pointed out school shooters are almost all male and most seem to be desperately concerned with defending or proving their masculinity. Although it is not entirely clear if this was the case with Fryberg (as details are still emerging), I’d like to draw attention to an issue that has been a factor in many other school shootings: the inability many young men have to respond appropriately when a dating relationship fails to develop or when it ends abruptly. Author Jessie Klein has shown that in 12 U.S. school shootings occurring between 1997 and 2002, assailants specifically targeted girls who had either rejected them or broken up with them. In these cases, the boys had previously made overt threats against the girls, in person and often online, yet school officials failed to take the threats seriously. Evan Ramsey, 16, killed one student, the principal and injured two students in his Feb. 19, 1997 assault at Bethel High School in Bethel, Alaska. Ramsey’s girlfriend had just broken up with him. Eight months later, 16-year-old Luke Woodham killed his mother then his former girlfriend, Christina Menefee,
and her friend at his school in Pearl, Miss. Woodham’s assault injured seven others. Just two months later, 14-yearold Michael Carneal killed three girls at his Paducah, Ky. school, including one who had rejected him and another who would not go out with him. On March 24, 1998, 13-year-old Mitchell Johnson and 11-year-old Andrew Golden brought an arsenal to their Jonesboro, Ark. school. Fourteen of their 15 victims were female. Johnson killed his ex-girlfriend, threatened to kill others who had talked about their break-up, and shot two girls who had refused his dating attempts. Golden killed his ex-girlfriend. Exactly one month later, 14-year-old Andrew Wurst killed one male teacher, but after his girlfriend broke up with him he threatened to kill her and attempted to target another girl who had laughed at him when she declined his invitation to a school dance. Not even one month later, 18-year-old Jacob Davis killed the boy who was dating his ex-girlfriend at his Fayetteville, Tenn. school. Kip Kinkel, who shot and killed his parents then killed two students and injured 22 others at his Springfield, Ore. school had been deeply depressed when his girlfriend broke up with him some months before the shooting. While they did not target specific ex-girlfriends, two of the most infamous school shooters, Columbine High School assailants Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, repeatedly ranted about the relentless rejection they received from girls. Thomas (T.J) Solomon injured six in his school attack on May 20, 1999 in Conyers, Ga. Solomon was depressed about his break-up, and targeted the “jock� that his former girlfriend seemed to be interested in. Even Dedrick Owens, who was 6 when he shot peer Kayla Owens in Flint in 2000, seems to have been influenced by disdain for the girl.
The FBI has also recognized the connection between breakups and the threat of school violence in their report “The School Shooter: A Threat Assessment Perspective.� Further, the FBI’s report documents that most shooters engage in “leakage,� or the intentional or unintentional revealing of clues about their state of mind and the possibility of violence. Some news sources have reported that Fryberg targeted one of his victims, Andrew Fryberg, who is his cousin, because he had begun to date Shilene George, Jaylen’s former girlfriend. The UK Daily Mail reported on Oct. 25, 2014 that Jaylen tweeted one month before the shooting: “Dude. She tells me everything. And now I f***ing HATE you! Your no longer my ‘Brother’!� More recently, his tweets took a darker turn: “Your gonna piss me off... And then some s*** gonna go down and I don’t think you’ll like it...� That so many of these boys repeatedly wrote about their hatred of girls should have served as a warning sign. Although sadly it is too late in these cases, it is not too late for educators, counselors and parents to help young men through the emotionally difficult middle and high school years, when relationships will inevitably end in breakups. We can and should pay attention to the warning signs in their social media activity, their school writings and changes in their behavior. Additionally, we should all be committed to helping our young men and women develop healthier relationships through education and support services. The need to build the resiliency of our youth has never been greater. Laura Finley, Ph.D., teaches in the Barry University Department of Sociology & Criminology and is syndicated by PeaceVoice.
POLICYMAKERS MUST TAKE ACTION NOW ON POVERTY RATES
By Somnang Ork
Historically, poverty has been an endless social problem throughout America and yet we as a nation never seem to have any “real world� solutions to resolve it. Time and time again the United States often prefers to put a Band-Aid over the issue and hope that the problem will go away. However, the topic of poverty has reached a boiling point that requires a well thought out solution that both sides of the political spectrum can agree upon. The hot topic issue regarding the lopsided concentration of wealth and the issue of income equality has been a highly debated topic in recent American society. More significantly, policies that uplift poor working class families come from the benefits of tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). These are the largest contributors in pulling children and families from poverty but, unfortunately, both the EITC and CTC are set to expire at the end of 2017. This will be a detrimental loss in terms
of assistance to these families and will ultimately push more millions of children and families further into poverty. Both of these programs have provided tremendous support in offering financial assistance for families living in extreme poverty conditions. These programs are pertinent in sustaining poor working families from slipping further into poverty due to the lack of a livable income; in this case it means their earned wage. With that being said, proposed legislation to increase the federal minimum wage has created an endless debate between citizens and politicians. This is primarily due to the longstanding record of stagnant wages, while large companies are posting record profits. This growing disparity between the rich and poor is a social problem that primarily affects middle- to low-income families the hardest because they are the ones trying to survive on their lowincome wage. I strongly believe and agree with the abundance of literature that the trend of poverty for children and families keeps growing because of the increase
in the cost of living and a stagnant federal minimum wage that has not seen an increase for many years. Our policies and programs have the potential to improve living conditions for lowincome families, so that they too can enjoy a better quality of life by not having to work two or three jobs just to keep their families afloat. I believe America can do better, especially policymakers who have the ability to make a difference in the lives of those who suffer from poverty by strengthening our tax credit policies and raising the federal minimum wage. This will greatly help enhance the living conditions for millions of children and their families across our nation. I strongly encourage our policymakers to do the research and take a close look at the growing poverty rates for children and families across America. These families are poor, vulnerable and marginalized from our society; we need to demand a more humane agenda and evoke policies that protect American families from poverty as a whole. Somnang Ork is a Tacoma resident.
Tacomans received a priceless gift this week with the opening of Tacoma Art Museum’s Western American Art Wing, thanks to the generous donation of German billionaires Erivan and Helga Haub and their children. Their gift to Tacomans comes complete with 295 works of definitive Western art by Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Georgia O’Keeffe, Bill Schenck, Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, John Clymer and Tom Lovell, funding a 16,000square-foot art wing that is expected to welcome thousands of international tourists in the years to come. The wing’s grand opening this week catapulted TAM into the upper rungs of museums to offer Western art exhibits. The inaugural exhibition features more than 130 works of Western American art and shows portrayals and themes of “the West� as they changed through the ages. There are paintings and sculptures of horses and cowboys alongside detailed landscapes showing mountain ranges, deserts and open prairies. Possibly most interesting is a collection of works that clash with what modern audiences consider to be views of the West, notably a portrait of a Chinese family and modern artworks by Native American masters. Such images show that not all icons of the West were “John Wayne� cowboys or war-painted Indians. The West was a melting pot of cultures and remains such to this day. To that end, we are all part of the story of the West since the migration of East Coasters to the Pacific continues to this day, while Asian immigrants flow eastward toward Northwest shores. Different cultures flow into Tacoma from both sides and meld into the Native American cultures that have called this area home since the beginning of time, along with the “pioneer culture� that began in the 1800s with the start of western migration. Tacoma was, after all, the terminus town of the first transcontinental railroad that served as such an iconic image of the West following the turn of the last century. The Haub collection lays out a story of us as much as it is a display of notable works of beauty and perspective. We are the result of the events, themes and personalities depicted along these gallery walls. Emphasis on that point can be found in Marie Watt’s bronze sculpture “Blanket Stories: Transportation Object, Generous Ones, Trek.� The piece is a sculpture crafted from hundreds of donated blankets that came complete with personal stories involving the comforting garments of everyday life. Those stories are recorded on the museum’s website to allow generations to come to read and learn about the modern West. Watt, herself a member of the Seneca Nation of Indians, developed the work as a way to honor the Puyallup people and their long-standing generosity to all who visit local shores. The legacy of that welcoming to strangers created a local culture of generosity that makes Tacoma one of the most livable cities in the nation. That’s a fact that led the Haub family to raise their children in Tacoma, attend local schools and, in turn, give back such wonderful gifts to their adopted home. We should all follow their lead and do likewise.

t Veterans morning assemblies, which included several video packages honoring the troops, as well as a speech from Brigadier General Raymond W. Coffey. Coffey’s speech, which he delivered with equal conviction and passion all three times, hit on the importance of honoring those that have served our country, as well as urging listenters to become active in volunteering during Veterans Day. “‘Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.’ That’s volunteerism; that is a call to action,� Coffey said, quoting John F. Kennedy’s famous inaugural address. “You get so much more than you give by volunteering.� Coffey honored veterans by expressing his appreciation for the selflessness shown in signing up to protect our country. His speech told of how veterans show the greatest form of volunteerism and exemplify President Kennedy’s famous words. “A veteran starts as a

volunteer,� Coffey said. While a third of the students were at the assembly, others participated in a study hall period designed to give a greater appreciation to veterans in the community, be it through researching the history of Veterans Day or completing a Veterans Day scavenger hunt. Perhaps the most personal of these activities was letter writing. Students at Mt. Tahoma were encouraged to write letters to non-specific veterans, thanking them for their service. These letters were delivered by ROTC Senior Army Instructor LTC Ron Baines, who helped set up the letter delivery to veterans residing at the American Lake Veterans Hospital Community Living Center and Joint Base Lewis McChord’s Wounded Warrior Battalion, a transition center for veterans seriously wounded in America’s most recent conflicts (mostly in Iraq and Afghanistan). A video package put together by students asked veterans from every major

and ribbons to be gifted to each veteran attending the ceremony. Veterans at the ceremony also stood up and received a round of applause from the assembled students while their branch’s theme played.

World War in 1919. That became a national holiday, celebrated every Nov. 11, in 1938. it was officially changed to Veterans Day, in honor of veterans of all wars, in 1954. “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations,� President Woodrow Wilson said when establishing the original holiday.
The city has a roster of about 500 derelict buildings, many of which are owned by financial institutions following a foreclosure of the property. The driver behind the new fines is a city effort to keep neighborhoods from falling into blight because owners fail to maintain their properties, creating an eyesore and crime magnet that can affect an entire city block. The new requirements, for example, require owners of vacant properties to provide 24-hour contact information in cases when the city receives a complaint or emergency call associated with the building. Buildings left unrepaired could then face an increased ladder of legal troubles if unsafe conditions are not corrected. The final legal action could lead to the city ordering the property demolished or seizing the building outright under eminent domain rules. “This update will allow staff to bring the code into better alignment with state and national codes, ensure an end game to all types of cases, and to continue to develop tools to hold property owners accountable,� city documents stated.

ow that the days are turning colder and the autumn leaves are just about gone from the trees, thoughts turn to the holidays and all the warmth and beauty they bring.

so much to browse and buy, with displays beautifully designed to showcase each individual item while giving a lush, bountiful feast for the eyes. The store is set up in areas that all flow together in color and occasion – from the fall harvest/Thanksgiving section and the glitzy, woodsy area, to wintry whites and silvers with snowmen, angels, candles, tabletop trees and more everywhere you look. “We try to have something for everybody and we’re very conscious of price points,� Heemink said. “If somebody needs a beautiful nativity we have it, and if they need ornaments for their tree or gifts we have that too. We try to incorporate things where you could add
a little bit new every year to your tree to make it look different yet not re-do the entire tree.� New merchandise arrives regularly throughout the season. “We keep stocking all the time. Our elves are very busy at night so that we can replace everything to keep it full.� Fresh wreaths arrive the week before Thanksgiving. “If there’s something special someone needs, we have custom designed wreaths and centerpieces,� Heemink said. “If someone comes in and asks us to make a centerpiece or swag for their door or a wreath, we can do that. And it will be something you’re not going to see when you walk into an average store – it’s made specifically for them so it’s a one of a kind.� Popular items this year include decorative owl figures, and the Christmas shop has plenty of them in all kinds of
sizes and styles. Battery operated flameless candles in scented wax are big sellers too. These are not light bulbs that sit still and resemble a flame, but rather these realistic “flames� move to and fro randomly like a real flame would and the effect is magical. They come in all sizes, from tapers to pillars, and in addition to being much safer than real candles there will be no dripping wax on tables and carpets. Make the Christmas shop at Holland Nursery and Landscaping part of your holiday traditions and you’ll make memories for years to come. “We have a lot of people who just come
to see the trees and enjoy it,� Heemink said. Be sure and sign up on the store’s mailing list too. For more information, call (253) 841-1200.

LIFE CHRISTIAN TURNS BIG PLAYS INTO STATE BERTH
By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com
Last weekend was big for Tacoma area football and a huge win for Tacoma public school athletics. While the 3A fifth-ranked Lincoln Abes took care of business in a contest they were heavily favored to win, the additional news from Seattle’s Memorial Stadium that the Wilson Rams led throughout and knocked-off Metro Valley champion Ballard was a big one. It’s been a long time since two Tacoma public schools advanced to the State 3A Tournament. The Round of 16. The Show. It was the 1979 football season that last witnessed two Tacoma public schools win their way into the state tournament simultaneously. Mt. Tahoma and Foss advanced past the first round and MT beat the Falcons 28-0. The T-Birds went on to win the first of their two-straight state titles. Let’s take a look back at the big wins and big upsets in the district round and what’s in store for the Tacoma-area teams in the first round of the state football tournaments.

LINCOLN – 63, NATHAN HALE – 6 NEXT UP: O’DEA (9-1) VS. LINCOLN (10-0) LINCOLN BOWL, NOV. 14 – 7 P.M.
Friday night’s kick-off against third-ranked O’Dea will mark the first home state tournament game at Lincoln Bowl for the Abes since the advent of the state tournament format in 1973. This is the first time in 41 years of football. Lincoln sophomore Jordan Kitna passed for 284 yards and five touchdown passes in the first half against Nathan Hale and sat out the second half. Senior Dehonta Hayes opened the scoring in the game with an electric 11-yard race to the end zone off a Kitna toss. Hayes went wild in the second quarter, picking off a pass at the Lincoln 40-yard line and running it back 60 yards for a touchdown. Two minutes later, Hayes picked up a punt off the bounce and headed for the Lincoln sideline. The D-1 recruit maneuvered through solid blocks and traffic up the sideline and broke back to the middle for another touchdown. At the time, Lincoln now led 35-0 with 8:10 remaining in the half. Lincoln led 63-0 over Nathan Hale (3-7) at halftime. With a running clock in the second half, Lincoln played mostly their second, third and fourthstring players, running the ball and chewing clock. The defense held the shutout until Nathan Hale’s final drive of the game. The Abes remain the highest-scoring football team playing 11-man football in Washington. Lincoln is averaging 51.8 points per contest while giving up just 9.2 points. Powerhouse O’Dea will also bring a potent offense to Lincoln Bowl, averaging 41 points a game while giving up a miserly 6.4 on the defensive side. It is forecast to be 31 degrees at kick-off, so be prepared and bundle up.

(bottom) Dehonta Hayes caught a pass for a touchdown, returned an interception for a touchdown and scored on a punt return in just the first half of play.
The Life Christian Eagles scored early and often in their 2B football district playoff game against the visiting Adna Pirates. The game looked to be a solid match-up on paper, but the Eagles showed the big play ability in their 47-30 victory at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood, on Saturday, Nov. 8. With the win, the Eagles (7-2) advance to the first round of the 2B state tournament, and they’ll face the fire immediately as they travel to meet top-ranked Napavine (9-0) on Friday, Nov. 14 at Centralia High School. If they can manage to duplicate some of their big-strike plays that worked against Adna, the Eagles may very well make a ballgame of it against the heavy favorites. It only took two plays for the Eagles to get on the board first against Adna (6-5). Tightend Jeremy Pallwitz got a step on his defender and quarterback Jack Hohimer hit the big senior in-stride for the first touchdown of the night. Following a point-after kick from senior Tyler Beasinger, the Eagles led 7-0 with 9:01 to play in the first quarter. Following a poor runback and a penalty, Adna was forced to start at its own five-yard line on the next possession. Three plays later, senior linebacker Chris Vowell recovered a muffed hand-off at the 10-yard line and the Eagles were in business again. Hohimer scrambled to his right on the next play and hit 6-6 senior tight-end Luke Grocett at the three-yard line and the big man plowed his way into the end zone for a touchdown. Beasinger’s kick was good and the Eagles now led 14-0 with 7:48 remaining in the first quarter. On the next possession, Adna drove all the way to Life Christian four-yard line. The Eagle defense put on their brakes and stopped the Pirates on fourth-down from the five-yard line. After taking over at the five, the Eagles failed to move the ball and Hohimer suffered a sack by Adna’s Tyler Olson for a two-point safety. Life Christian’s lead was trimmed to 14-2 with 3:21 left in the first quarter. Following the Life Christian free-kick, Adna took over at the Eagle 44-yard line. The Pirates moved the ball seven yards and faced fourth and three from the 37. Quarterback Jack Herring hit receiver Phoenix Millhollen-Elwood on a quick pass, but senior defensive end Kris McLemore was in the right place, at the right time, stuffing the play for just one yard.

REBORN TACOMA STARS

STAR BLAZERS. (left) Dale Holdener and Casey Winnie get into their work. The Stars Satellites have been pumping out signs and art in the last few weeks
leading up to Saturday’s season opener. (right) The Stars hit the jackpot when they secured the talents of head coach Darren Sawatzky. The crafty veteran is easily one of the best soccer coaches in the Pacific Northwest. By David Falk Special to the Tacoma Weekly
T
he Tacoma Stars are back and so are the Satellites, a supporters group honoring the name of the original “Tacoma Stars Satellites Booster Club” with a new era of their own. The name was meant to return after the original Satellites banner that once hung in the Tacoma Dome was found recently. It wasn’t too long after that Tacomans were organizing around the new Stars of the Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL). They have already started having ‘tifo’ parties to get ready for Saturday, Nov. 15 and the home opener against Bellingham United. “We’ve met a couple of times to paint tifos,” says one of the Satellites, Sandi Holdener. “Yesterday we hung two of them at the Tacoma Soccer Center. We will continue to meet and paint 2-poles during the season.” Tifos are signs and banners produced with love in support of local clubs around the globe. The Satellites are “a mix of both new and longtime members,” Holdener says. “We have some members who have followed the Stars since 1983, and some that are new to the area within the last year or two that are excited to be supporting the team.” William Beritich is one of the old-school Stars supporters. “Me and Dale (Holdener) are fully old-school Stars supporters,” Beritich says. “Many
great memories of the Dome days. But there is new blood. People who have moved here since those days…and are really just getting introduced to indoor soccer.” The home of the Stars is also the place the Satellites are turning into their home. “Currently we have the area set aside across from the bleachers where the Satellites will congregate, just past the Far Post Bar. We are also working with John Crouch (Stars GM) to set aside a family area on the same side so Satellite families can be there with us,” says Holdener. Holdener and the group will let their support develop organically. “With Saturday being the first home game we haven’t come up with any match traditions as of yet. With the Sounders season wrapping up next month we will have people’s attention redirected to the Stars.” Beritich agrees, adding: “As we are all members of other SGs, we would love to bring as much supporter culture to the Stars matches as we can. Most of us feel wrong just sitting there watching a match. We want to be loud and seen, and to let our team know we are there for them. As this is all pretty new, I’m sure this season will have a lot of feeling out to be done.” The Satellites hope to track the Stars away from Tacoma, too. “We are also working on getting others to travel/ carpool to the away games so there will be some support for the team on the road as well,” Holdener says. “We are always open to thoughts and suggestions from others.”

The name “Bellingham United” is usually associated with outdoor soccer but this year the former WSA Rapids, who have played indoors for nearly a decade, have taken the same name as the organizations will share players and personnel going forward. The Rapids were annual contenders indoors and are expected to be a stiff challenge for the Stars as the new indoor “Hammers” of BUFC. One player source for the Hammers is the men’s soccer team at Western Washington University. Bellingham and the Stars played a 24-minute match at the recent NW Indoor Soccer Invitational. The Stars came out on top in that scrimmage, 1-0.

Beritich expects the group will grow. “As for fans joining, we’re open. They are more than welcome to come join us in our section (As long as they are cheering on the Stars of course). If they want to be in on a more official capacity, the Stars are offering Satellite season tickets. They are the same price as normal season tickets, but come with a Satellite shirt instead of the normal Stars shirt. Also they have retired the number 83 for the supporters (The original Stars were founded in 1983). There will be jerseys available with the name Satellite and number 83.”

PLU VOLLEYBALL RECIEVES FOURTH CONSECUTIVE NCAA TOURNAMENT BERTH
Pacific Lutheran volleyball earned a berth in the NCAA Div. III volleyball championship on Monday morning as announced by the NCAA Div. III Volleyball Committee. The Lutes will face Colorado College in an opening-round match on Friday at 12:30 p.m. at California Lutheran’s Gilbert Arena. The Lutes will make their fourth consecutive tournament appearance and their 10th total. Fifteenth-ranked Colorado College also earned an at-large berth to secure its 17th consecutive postseason appearance and 24th overall. “We are excited as always to be in the regionals and the final 64,” head coach Kevin Aoki said. “We are playing well right now so hopefully we can continue the upward trend. The credit goes to my staff and to our studentathletes who have worked so hard this year.” PLU finished 21-4 overall with a 14-2 conference record that secured a share of the Northwest Conference title with Whitworth University. Whitworth received the automatic bid in the tiebreaker and will join PLU in representing the NWC in the Thousand Oaks, Calif. bracket. The remaining teams in the bracket include tournament-host and third-ranked Cal Lutheran and its fellow SCIAC opponents No. 18 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and No. 25 La Verne. Traveling from Texas will be No. 21 Trinity and Mary Hardin-Baylor. PLU defeated CMS and Trinity 3-1 and fell to Cal Lutheran 0-3 in the Cal-LuFornia Invitational earlier this season. The winners of the PLU/CC and CMS/MHB matches will play on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 3:30 p.m. followed by the winners of the CLU/WU and LV/TU matches at 6 p.m. On Sunday, Nov. 16 the two remaining teams will play in the regional final at 2 p.m.
FOUR LUTES NAMED TO ALL-NWC VOLLEYBALL TEAM; AGUIAR EARNS TOP HONORS
Northwest Conference co-champion Pacific Lutheran placed four student-athletes on the 2014 All-NWC Volleyball Team, including first-team recognition for Amber Aguiar, Lucy Capron and Samantha North. Aguiar also earned NWC Libero of the Year honors for a second straight year, while grabbing a third straight honor for PLU. Junior Kylai Cooley, a transfer from Bellevue College, received an honorable mention. Aguiar is a second-time ALL-NWC honoree having received first-team honors in 2013. With 613 digs this season, she broke her own program-leading season record for total digs. Aguiar also finished the 2014 regular season ranked first in the NCAA with 7.13 digs per set. North has been named to the all-conference first-team in all four seasons as a Lute, becoming only the fourth NWC player to receive first-team recognition in all four years of play and the second for PLU (Beth Hanna, 200708-09-10). She finished the 2014 regular season averaging 10.72 assists and 2.45 digs per set with 37 total blocks. On offense, North had 67 kills on the season and a .247 attack percentage. Capron is a first-time All-NWC honoree, finishing the regular season leading the conference with 320 kills and averaging 3.76 per set. Additionally, she has averaged 3.73 digs per set with 29 assists and 23 total blocks. She has also been a top contributor on the PLU offense, averaging 3.18 kills per set with 270 total.
of dominance as the Lutes rushed for more than 400 yards in a 41-27 Northwest Conference football victory over Whitworth Saturday, Nov. 8 at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup. PLU improves to 6-2 overall and 4-2 in conference play with the win, while Whitworth’s season concludes with a 6-4 overall record and a 4-3 NWC mark. The Lutes wrap up the 2014 regular season next weekend when they host George Fox. The PLU offense surpassed 500 yards for the third straight game and averaged 9.3 yards per play, while the Lute defense limited the prolific Whitworth offense to only 5.1 yards per play as the Pirates took 97 plays to reach 490 yards. “It was a team win,” PLU head coach Scott Westering said. “The way this defense played, and the way our offense responded, it was all part of it.” Dalton Ritchey had his best game as a runner, tallying a career-high 203 yards on 16 carries with three touchdowns while passing for 158 yards. Ritchey’s biggest play of the day came at the PLU 13-yard line, when he evaded multiple sack attempts before tucking the ball, finding the corner and running 87 yards for a score. “Dalton’s just been our guy,” Westering said of the Lutes’ senior quarterback. “The last few games here he’s really blossomed, and it’s been so awesome to watch him in that capacity.” Whitworth quarterback Bryan Peterson completed an incredible 53 passes in 64 attempts for 428 yards and three touchdowns to go with two interceptions. Whitworth totaled 97 plays to 61 for the Lutes. “It just kind of fit into the natural rhythm of our offense,” Westering said. “We’ll always take kind of what they give us. They were up taking chances, playing man-to-man, and when you break the line of scrimmage everyone is caught chasing people and there’s no support for it.” The Lutes took the opening kickoff and drove 73 yards down the field in only three plays to take a 7-0 lead. Kyle Warner’s 36-yard rush on the first play highlighted the drive, and Madison ran it into the end zone from 14 yards out for the score. PLU’s next score came later in the half when Greg Hibbard picked off a Peterson pass and returned it 43 yards for the 14-0 lead. Whitworth responded on the next drive, with Peterson finding Duke Degaetano from 11 yards out for the score to make it 14-7 going into the second quarter. Ritchey’s 87-yard run came early in the second quarter on the first play of PLU’s drive to make it 21-7, and Cody Tupen’s interception came on Whitworth’s next drive after the Pirates drove into the red zone. The PLU offense took only three plays to go 80 yards, with Niko Madison breaking a 57-yard scoring run to put the Lutes up 28-7. Whitworth came out of halftime and put together a 15-play drive to move 68 yards downfield before the Lute defense forced a field goal to make it 28-10. Two drives later, the Pirates again moved into PLU territory before having to settle for three points. PLU followed the Pirates’ second field goal with one of the Lutes’ longest drives of the season. The Lute offense came out on the field with 6:28 remaining in the third quarter and took 7:13 off the clock on 13 plays to move 88 yards. Ritchey punched it in for a 1-yard touchdown one play after the PLU quarterback broke a 35-yard run and barely missed breaking the plane. The Lutes had a chance to put it away on their next drive, but a tipped-ball interception gave Whitworth the ball near midfield with just under eight minutes to play. With 3:32 to go, Whitworth made it a two-score game at 35-20 on a 2-yard touchdown Peterson touchdown pass. Whitworth’s defense stepped up and pushed the Lute offense 12 yards backwards on a three-and-out, and Peterson followed with a six-play, 60-yard scoring drive to make it 35-27 on a 21-yard scoring pass to Drew Clausen. Ben Welch recovered Whitworth’s onside kick attempt, and on the next play Ritchey broke free down the right sideline for a 47-yard touchdown with 2:21 remaining. It all came to an end on the next kickoff, as the Pirates fumbled the return and PLU was able to run out the clock for the win.
UPS WINS NWC SOCCER TITLE, WILL FACE WASHINGTON U. AT NCAA
The Puget Sound women’s soccer team clinched its 13th consecutive Northwest Conference title with a 2-0 win over Lewis & Clark on Senior Day, Nov. 8 at UPS. Robin Vieira scored both goals for the Loggers, one in each half. Vieira’s first goal of the day came in the eighth minute as she finished an end line cross from Amalia Acorda-Fey. In the 74th minute, Vieira scored her eighth goal of the season. Annie Jonsson sent in a cross from the left side that Vieira strongly headed past the Pioneer goalkeeper. On the defensive end, Puget Sound (15-4, 13-3) denied Lewis & Clark (9-8-3, 7-7-2) of a shot on goal. Additionally, the Logger defensive deprived the Pioneers of a shot for a 55-minute span, including most of the first half. This is the 12th clean sheet for the Loggers and 11th shutout win of the year for goalkeeper Lauren Thomas. The Loggers took the early lead in the game on Vieira’s goal and never relinquished it. Vieira took four other shots in the first half. Danielle Silver and Jordyn McLuen nearly netted goals in the first period as well. McLuen took a shot off a corner kick in the 31st minute that was saved off the goal line by a Pioneer defender. Silver took a strong shot from 20 yards out in the 37th minute that forced the Lewis & Clark goalkeeper, Geena Fong, to make a save. With the 1-0 lead starting the second half, the Loggers pushed for a second goal. Emma Donckels nearly scored that second goal by heading in a corner kick in the 58th minute but it hit the post instead. Vieira’s goal in the 74th minute put the Loggers up 2-0. Defensively, the Loggers blocked Lewis & Clark’s only shots of the half to preserve the win and the Northwest Conference championship. The 25th-ranked Loggers have been selected to face Washington University in St. Louis in the first round of the NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Championship. The game will take place on Saturday, Nov. 15, in St. Louis, Mo. The NCAA showed the rest of the NWC absolutely no respect as crosstown rival Pacific Lutheran (14-5-1) was shut out of the 64-team tournament, as well as Linfield (15-4).

LADY RAMS LOSE A NAIL-BITER TO ENUMCLAW IN PENALTY SHOOTOUT
The Wilson Lady Rams dropped a heartbreaker in the 3A soccer district tournament to Enumclaw, missing the final two shots of the penalty shootout. The Rams and Hornets played to a scoreless tie to end regulation and two overtimes Nov. 6 at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood. Wilson took an early advantage in the penalty shootout as Enumclaw missed its second shot. Up 3-2, Wilson only needed one goal to push the shootout further, or two goals to capture the win and move on to the next round of districts. A shot off the crossbar, followed by a miss off the right post, was followed by two straight goals for the Hornets and the game was over.

In the last issue of the Tacoma Weekly, we wrote about the Wilson Rams and Ballard Beavers match-up: “...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.� Wilson didn’t have to come from behind in the actual game, as they led throughout and pulled away from Ballard (5-5) in the second half for the three-touchdown victory. The Rams get a true state tournament feel coming up in their opener. They will warm up the buses and travel over the mountains to face Mt. Spokane, the champion of the Greater Spokane League. Game-time forecast calls for temperatures near 20 degrees at kick-off. Lucky for the Rams, Mt. Spokane will have to deal with the frigid temperatures as well. Look for a lowscoring, smash mouth affair in this contest.

Winning big games in the post-season is starting to seem like a tradition for the Bellarmine Prep Lions. Facing long odds at French Field in Kent, the Lions led throughout the game and kept the 4A 10th-ranked Conquerors (8-2) off of the scoreboard until late in the contest. It was the first time in a couple of weeks that Bellarmine star running back Nathan Goltermann-Doyle saw significant playing time due to a bum foot. The senior dodged his way in and around the Kentwood defense for 214 yards rushing and scored on a 96-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. It doesn’t get any easier for Bellarmine on their playoff march. The Lions travel to second-ranked Camas and will have to pull-off a similar performance to keep up with one of the best teams in the state. The Papermakers average 50 points a game, while giving up 13 on the defensive side. Camas has defeated four teams this season that are still alive in the state tournament. The forecast for kick-off is temperatures in the low-30’s with a 40 percent chance of precipitation. The Lions won’t have to worry about a muddy field, however, as Doc Harris Stadium is covered in Field Turf.
FiFe – 21, libeRtY – 0 Next uP: FiFe (7-3) vS. tuMWAteR (10-0) tuMWAteR StAdiuM, Nov. 14 – 7 P.M.
The Trojans pulled-off possibly the upset of the weekend as they traveled north to face the 10th-ranked Patriots (6-4). The battle-tested champions from the KingCo league were kept off of the scoreboard only one other time this season and that was against 3A national powerhouse Bellevue. Along with the stout defense, Fife’s Austin Woods was a game changer for the Trojans. Woods rushed 13 times for 118 yards and two touchdowns. The senior also added an interception on the night. Fife knows it faces the biggest team in the state in 2A top-ranked Tumwater. The perennial powerhouse Thunderbirds are averaging 45 points a game, while surrendering just over 10 points. It will take some more upset magic from the Trojans to advance to the 2A quarterfinals and perhaps a miracle. The forecast for kick-off calls for a temperature near 30 degrees and clear skies.

The Terriers pulled-off one of the more shocking upsets in the state against Port Townsend (7-3). Just seven days prior, Charles Wright took a beating on the road against the same Redhawks by a score of 49-6. Fast-forward a week and the Terriers brought out a new game plan, on a much dryer field against Port Townsend and led throughout. Charles Wright forced four Redhawk turnovers in the second half and stopped three Port Townsend drives on downs inside the Terrier 25-yard line. Charles Wright lost to sixth-ranked Eatonville in the second game of the season 56-6. The Cruisers had better take note of the new-look Terriers or suffer the same fate as Port Townsend. The forecast for the game calls for 38 degrees at kick-off with a 20-percent chance of precipitation.

Life Christian took the ball back on downs. It didn’t take long for the Eagles to strike again. On the fourth play of the drive, Hohimer lofted a deep pass to Pallwitz, who again had gotten a step past his defender. The 6-2 tight-end got his hands on the ball and took it to the house for a 53-yard touchdown. Beasinger’s kick was good and the Eagles now led 21-3 with 11:51 left in the second quarter. Adna responded by fumbling the ball on a muffed hand-off on the next possession and Life Christian took over again with a short field in front of them. On the first play, Hohimer lofted a pass to junior running back Ishaiah Greene near the goal line. Adna’s Nolan Balzer looked to have a sure interception, but somehow the ball went through his hands at the two-yard line and into Greene’s for the touchdown. Life Christian now led 28-2 with 11:33 remaining in the second quarter. The score held until halftime. Life Christian wasted no time getting back at it in the second half as Hohimer connected with senior Sam Absten 30 yards down the sideline. The all-everything back snared the ball and sprinted to the end zone for a 65-yard touchdown connection. Beasinger’s kick was good and the Eagles now led 35-2 with 11:42 left in the third quarter. Adna took advantage of a long return on the ensuing kick-off and took over at the Eagle 38-yard line. A 29-yard pass from Herring to Millhollen-Elwood put the Pirates in striking distance at the nine-yard line. The Eagle defense tried to hold the line, but finally gave up a touchdown on fourth and goal from the one-yard line. The Pirates failed on the two-point conversion and the Life Christian lead was trimmed to 35-8 with 6:43 remaining in the third quarter. The two teams went back and forth for a couple of series before Pallwitz intercepted a halfback option pass by Adna’s Reese Wilson. Pallwitz brought down the errant pass with one hand and returned it 56 yards to the Adna 14-yard line. The Eagle drive stalled at the seven-yard line and Beasinger was called in to swing his leg on a 24-yard field goal attempt that he nailed through the uprights. Life Christian now led 38-8 with 1:18 remaining in the third quarter and the game was becoming out of reach for the Pirates. An Adna touchdown with 9:48 left in the fourth quarter made the game 38-16. Life Christian answered with another field goal off of Beasinger’s foot. The 37-yard kick landed on top of the crossbar and just bounced over for three points. Life Christian now led 41-16. On the next possession, sophomore cornerback Michael McKay stepped in front of a pass from Herring and sprinted 39 yards to the end zone for the final Eagle score of the night. After a perfect night, Beasinger’s last point-after kick missed, hitting the right goalpost and the Eagles led 47-16 with 6:13 remaining in the game. Adna would add two late touchdowns to make the score look much closer than it was.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give them credit for us being on time and on budget,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that the new wing was paid for before the doors opened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not a lot of art directors can say that.â&#x20AC;?

Metal godfathers Judas Priest headed to Tacoma
with new tunes, old-school metal mayhem By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
Studded leather jacket. Check. Working pinkie and index finger. Check. Ear plugs to prevent permanent hearing loss. Check. Woooooo!!! We’ve been ready for some live Judas Priest since the iconic metal band roared back into action with its 17th studio album, the critically acclaimed “Redeemer of Souls,” in July. The veteran quintet – singer Rob Halford, bassist Ian Hill, drummer Scott Travis and guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner – will headline the Tacoma Dome on Nov. 22, peppering some of the new tunes into a headbanging set that’s sure to include classics like “Painkiller,” “Breaking the Law” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming.” Recently, the Weekly caught up with Faulkner, who gave us insight into what it’s like to be the new guy in a band that still inspires fanatical devotion more than four decades into its run. TACOMA WEEKLY: It’s been a couple of years since you came in for K.K. Downing, but you’re still kind of the new guy. How did you first get involved with Judas Priest? FAULKNER: I used to play around bars and clubs in London, in cover bands. We used to play Priest and Maiden, and one of the guys I used to play guitar with was a guy called Pete Friesen. Pete used to play with Alice Cooper, The Almighty and Bruce Dickinson’s solo band, outside of Iron Maiden. A few of the crew guys knew Pete, so when the position became available they contacted him, and he couldn’t do it. … They asked him if he could suggest anyone else, and he put my name in the hat. That’s the short story; but the rest, as they say, is history. TW: How would you compare being in this legendary band versus other projects you’ve been involved with? And how has your life changed? FAULKNER: Obviously, the places that we play are different, and it’s a legacy act. It’s a great band that spans back 40 years. … We’re all familiar with seeing it on the surface, but when you get inside a machine like that it’s just an education to see how it all runs; you know, what to do, what not to do, and you learn from their experience. My life’s changed, obviously, from living on friends’ couches (but) I’m still pretty much homeless. We’ve been working quite a lot over the last couple of years. Once we got off the Epitaph Tour (in May 2012) we then took a couple of months off, into the studio. … The record came out, promotion, the DVD we’ve been doing, and now we’ve started this Redeemer of Souls Tour. So I’m kind of all over the place. I blow around like the wind … like a heavy-metal vagabond. TW: You probably wouldn’t say you’re replacing someone like K.K., but how did you first approach fitting in with the band? FAULKNER: Ken has been with the band 40 years. He pretty much started the band off, and I’m not there to replace any of that legacy. I’ve been in the band five minutes, and I’m very much aware of that. I’m just appreciative of the opportunity that I’ve been given. Just to be considered for the role was an incredible honor. I was a fan of bands like Priest, and you kind of know what metal stands for. It’s all about standing up for what you believe in; just standing up for yourself and doing what you do. I was, again, a fan of (Gibson) Flying Vs, and I kind of fit in image-wise, as well. But it wasn’t like a contrived thing. It’s because I grew up with the genre and, I guess, embodied it in a way, and it was part of my musical makeup. TW: The movie “Rock Star” is based loosely on Tim

BREAKIN’ THE LAW, BREAKIN’ THE LAW! Judas Priest is Ian Hill, Scott Travis, Rob Halford, Richie Faulkner and Glenn Tipton.
Owens, who came in for Rob Halford for a few years. Did you ever feel like Mark Wahlberg in that movie? FAULKNER: Opinions are asked for and valued and appreciated and listened to, from everyone in the band. In the movie, that’s not the case. It’s a bit of dictatorship; this is who runs the show, and you just do what we tell ya, and it’s definitely not like that. So I have to say no in that respect. It’s just a great, family atmosphere and then old-school band, if you know what I mean. If you’re in the band, you’re in the band, and your opinions are asked for and valued. That permeates through the whole camp. It breeds a really creative, inclusive and ultimately valuable atmosphere for everyone to be in. Everyone’s on the same page and gunning for the same team. TW: That’s a perfect segue for my next questions. I wondered how, as the new guy, you fit into the writing process. But it sounds like the process might be more democratic than a lot of other bands. FAULKNER: From a writing point of view – as far as I know, as long as Rob’s been in the band – Priest has always had the two guitarist/vocalist writing team. I think that is what gave Priest their special sound. … We kept it the same. I took a recording rig out on the Epitaph Tour, putting ideas down out on the road. Sometimes Rob would poke his head around the backstage door. “Ah, Richie. What’s that? It’s a great riff. Remember that.” Or Glenn would
come in and put a riff down. I don’t think they’ve done that before on the road, writing like that. It was months and months and months of not only playing 40 years of the Priest back catalog; it was a year of building relationships and trust and building that brotherhood. So, although I’m the new guy, you build relationships pretty quickly under those conditions; and that, I think, is also instrumental in the writing process. TW: I’ve seen references to some songs from the new album dating back to 2010 and 2011. Tell me about the process and the point where things gelled into what we hear now. FAULKNER: If you condensed (the writing process) all together, it was probably about two months. Rob and Glenn had a couple of songs before I joined the band, as you said. We put those back into the melting pot. ... I think “Metalizer” was one of them. We changed the chorus. It wasn’t quite working, so I had a riff when I came in the band that slotted straight in. On the other end of the spectrum, we were coming up with ideas actually in the studio. Also, we went away and took some time off and put ideas down on our own and then brought them in. So it was all across the spectrum, really. There was no real plan as to what we wanted it to sound like. We just wanted it to be pure and honest and raw and unashamedly Judas Priest. There’s blues elements on the record; whatever metal you want to call it.

The Dude does most certainly abide: A CHAT WITH JEFF BRIDGES By Glen Casebeer Special to Tacoma Weekly
When Jeff Bridges makes his visit to Tacoma on Nov. 21, “The Dude,” as he’s affectionately referred to by millions of fans worldwide, will be bringing his fantastic backing band, The Abiders, with him. He and his band have a new concert album out called “Live,” which chronicles a lot of the music they play in their set. Bridges is proud of this effort, as well he should be. “I’m really jazzed on the album,” he says. “Just personally, it’s a record of a great summer I had with my guys, playing music that we dig. So I guess that’s the only reason I can really relate to it.” Even though he’s made somewhere around 70 movies and brought to life some unforgettable characters, Bridges is in a way fulfilling an almost lifelong dream with his band. He says, “This music thing is me kind of realizing my teenage dream at 65 years old. So I’ve got a lot I’d like to get out, since we’re sounding pretty good, and it’s being recorded, why not just release it and get started on something else. “And one of the reasons I wanted to make a live album is because meeting with your buds and making music, there’s nothing like that. You don’t have high hopes of how something’s going to turn out, and then every once in a while you meet with your guys and everybody’s just doing their best at being creative and letting the spirit flow through them, and ... everyone’s expectations are transcended because of the idea of the parts being greater than the sum.” One of the brilliant tunes on the release is “Exception to the Rule” about which he fondly states, “It’s another John Goodwin tune. The guy just writes classic tunes.” Describing the song “Slow Boat” he emphatically states, “Those are my lyrics, and T-Bone wrote the music, and our guitarist Chris

[Pelonis] just tears that up pretty damn good.” He tells us further that his daughter Jessie sang on the album and that she’ll be with them, as she is at most of The Abiders shows, “She’ll be opening for us, I believe, up in Tacoma. Jessie is a wonderful songwriter, and she sings some songs with us, too.” One of the songs on the new album stood out though; it was Bridges’ remake of a Tom Waits classic, “Never Let Go.” The Dude explains, “Oh, thank you. That means a lot. He [Tom Waits] is one of my favorites and just an interesting note, that song Tom gave
us to use in a movie we shot up in Seattle, called ‘American Heart,’ and I love that movie. It was the first one that I ever produced, and I’m really proud of that one. I’m really proud of having that song in the movie.” He goes a bit further into his connection to the Northwest, “Yeah, I’m looking forward to getting out to Tacoma. That’s always a great area for me; I have a lot of fondness for up there, Seattle is a very musical place for me. That’s where we shot “The Fabulous Baker Boys,” as well. We just had our 25th anniversary reunion with my brother [Beau Bridges]

and Michelle [Pfeiffer], and we took a bunch of photographs.” On the tragic passing of his dear friend Robin Williams earlier this year, “Yeah, he was some guy, man. What a spirit.” Bridges also takes his fame and puts it to good use helping others that are less fortunate. While discussing what his most important project has been, he replies, “I think of all the films I’ve made, the one I’m most proud of to be involved in is ‘A Place at the Table,’ which is all about hunger in America, and my buddy T-Bone also did the music for that as well. That is something I’ve
been involved in for over 30 years now, and these past four years I’ve been the national spokesperson for an organization called Share Our Strength, and their No Kid Hungry campaign.” He goes on, “And we’re going around from state to state talking with governors and business leaders and citizens of different states, cities, towns, etc., and spreading the word about them, ending child hunger and making it a focus in that state. “We’re primarily doing that by championing this idea of breakfast in the classroom after the bell, so all the kids who are in need of sustenance, get it, especially breakfast. A lot of kids in America go to school too hungry to learn. Only 44 percent of the kids who need breakfast in school are getting it in Tacoma, but less than half the kids that really need it are getting it. We’re working closely with governor and First Lady Inslee to make sure that no child in Washington is coming to school too hungry to learn. I’ve met with Governor Jay Inslee and he’s quite gung-ho about this, as so many governors are, and it’s a process that I’m really proud of being a part of.” Find out more at NoKidHungry.org. And, of course, we had to discuss what has become an institution, the movie “The Big Lebowski.” Bridges describes why the movie became so popular. “Well, I don’t know, it’s kind of a mystery. I think one reason is because it’s such a damn good movie; the Coen brothers, like a lot of masters, they make what they do look really easy. It’s such a masterful film, and they’ve sure got the goods. If you watch that movie, it’s like eating popcorn during each scene; just leads to another wonderful scene, and the dialogue and all that is so wonderful, and it was great to be a part of that. And then I think that all of us appreciate people who are authentic, who aren’t putting on a mask of who they are.” Bridges finishes, “I think we all have a little Dude in us.” Indeed we do.

FAIRY TALE. Tory Franklin’s “Six Swans” installation in Woolworth Windows.
By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com
A new group of art installations has appeared in downtown Tacoma’s Woolworth Windows, part of the long-running Artscapes program. Four artists contributed work to the open-air arts venue. Sarah Beth Smith’s “Ghosts/Dreams” features two of the artist’s large photographs of figures cast in mysterious and haunting settings. In one a woman in a black dress is running outside of a wall made of logs (Fort Nisqually). The woman in black is on the wrong side of the wall, which was built to protect the inhabitants from whatever lurks in the murky, misty forest beyond. The second photo features a woman in white at the edge of the sea, gazing out over the dark water. The photos are framed with sticks and have beach pebbles or bark chips piled beneath them to amplify the setting within each picture. Smith’s photographs are cinematic in nature. There is a psychological drama being played out. The tone is perfectly in sync with this season when the cool, damp weather summons all manner of mushrooms and funky fungus out of the forest loam. Tory Franklin’s “Six Swans” is a colorful and dynamic depiction of a story from Grimm’s fairy tales. The story involves six brothers who were transformed into swans and their sister who must weave tunics out of starflowers in order to save them. It takes her six years during which she cannot speak or laugh. Franklin is a drawing studio supervi-
sor at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. Her handling of the fairy tale material has the feel of old book illustrations combined with modern digital print technology. She creates a colorful and multifaceted depiction of the events of the story that fills the window space. Some of Franklin’s past projects include a similar treatment of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “The Firebird” and “The Little Mermaid.” Environmental artist Deanna Pindell’s “Hostage 61” installation is a heroic hodgepodge of ropes, bark, sections of logs, ceramic birds and jars that contain objects like butterflies and wishbones. Pindell’s work is focused on forest and water quality issues. The title “Hostage 61” refers to a 2008 study by an arboreal ecologist that calculated that there are 61 trees for every human being on the earth. “How many trees remain today?” asks Pindell. “How many are enough?” Pindell is deeply concerned with the march of deforestation that is taking place on the planet. Carla Grahn’s “Athena’s Bling” is a display of gigantic jewelry. This installation doubles as part of Tacoma’s Metal-Urge metal arts festival that runs through Nov. 30. Grahn is a teacher of creative metal working and welding at Seattle’s Pratt Fine Arts. Her work ranges from fantastic metal sculptures to furniture and architectural features. “Athena’s Bling” shows off all her metalworking skills. The current group of Woolworth Windows installations runs through Dec. 10. For further information visit spaceworkstacoma. com.

akewood Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second show of its 76th season takes audiences back to the 1860s with a performance of Lousia May Alcottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Women.â&#x20AC;? Rather than just being a theater adaption of a well-known book, however, the theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in-the-round configuration allows audiences to sit on all sides of the stage to view the action from every angle and feel as if they were eavesdropping on the daily lives of the March family in this family-friendly show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Womenâ&#x20AC;? tells the story of the home life of four March sisters: the literary-minded Jo; Meg, the older sister who marries a young tutor; the fashionable and artistic Amy; and the gentle, musically inclined Beth. The sisters first manage the family stresses of having their father serving in the Civil War only to fall ill to then journey into the maze of carving their own ways in the world and the family tragedy of losing one of their own. It is a timeless story that is also dripping with American history and bygone social norms. The playbill offers a collection of new and familiar faces to local theatergoers, with the 11-member cast including: Cassie Fastabend (Jo), Joseph Grant (Mr. Lawrence), Coleman Hagerman (Laurie), Ashley Mowreader (Amy), Syra Beth Puett (Hannah), Carol Richmond (Mrs. March), Darrel Shiley (Mr. March), Marissa Tate (Beth), Virgnia Yanoff (Aunt March) and Lakewood Playhouse Managing Artistic Director, John Munn (Professor Baehr). Debuting are Laura Strong (Meg) and Cameron Waters (Brooke). The show is directed by Suzy Wilholft, who most recently directed Tacoma Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dreamâ&#x20AC;? after retiring as the head of Stadium High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre Department. The play runs 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through Nov. 30, with a special showing at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20. Ticket are $25, with discounts for children, military and seniors.

Faulkner: The great thing about Priest (is) they forged new paths in metal while retaining that sound, that character and that heritage that we love about the band. This is an extension of that, so time will tell. I mean, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first top 10 Bill-

board entry the band has ever had, and I think that speaks volumes ... to where it ranks. But if you ask 10 different people theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to give you 10 different answers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beauty of creative art. TW: I was surprised to read this is the first top 10 album, which speaks to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longevity. Why do people still love this band so much that you can do these big arena tours after so many years? Faulkner: From the inside, you can feel from the band the genuine love they have for what they do. They love the music, they love creating. They love getting out on the road and playing in front of thousands of people. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one special ingredient. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things that go into it. TW: A few years ago there was talk of
the band doing one more tour and hanging it up. Yet here you are again. Has a lot changed since that was the consensus, or could this be the last tour? Faulkner: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to comment on what a dynamic was like before you joined a situation. All I know is the whole thing is infectious. So you do a tour, and it kind of fires you up to do a new record. You come up with new ideas on the road and stuff, so you want to get in and write some of these songs. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creative people, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we want to do; and so we did that, and we go into the studio, and we write some songs and put â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em down, and they grow into these monsters. You never know. We might be back in the studio based on the creativity that we
had in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redeemer of Soulsâ&#x20AC;? sessions. I mean, we put 18 songs out in the deluxe edition, so it was a creative atmosphere. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fired up, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be fired up after the tour to maybe go and do some more ideas. TW: The band has 40-plus years of material to pull from, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a batch of new songs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about. Tell me about the set list that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put together. Faulkner: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great to get out there and play new songs, classic songs. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re revisiting some moments of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defenders of the Faithâ&#x20AC;? because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 30th anniversary of that record this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 40th anniversary of the band, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a new record, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the future holds.

PUCKER UP! SweetKiss Momma has included singer-guitarist Jeff
Hamel, guitarist Aaron Arnold, bassist Jeremy Hamel and drummer Jimmy Hughs. Arnold has left the band and been replaced by new lead guitarist Jack Parker. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
Puyallup’s SweetKiss Momma has been on a pretty solid roll for most of 2014. The popular country-rock outfit dropped its sophomore album, “A Reckoning is Coming,” in March, continuing its streak as a hot seller on online music site CD Baby and finding new pockets of fans overseas, in Europe. Then the band scored a high-profile appearance on the second stage at the Watershed Festival, a two-day package tour that brought some of the biggest names in country to the Gorge Amphitheatre in George in August. “It was amazing,” singer-guitarist Jeff Hamel recalled. “We were absolutely spoiled. The backstage area was open to both stages, so we got a chance to meet Tim McGraw, who was the big headliner. (It) was cool for us to get a chance to rub elbows and kind of have those conversations with guys that are touring, full-time, professional guys.” This week, the band is gearing up for its next big break, an appearance on the regional rock TV show “Band in Seattle.” The show specializes in showcasing buzz-worthy regional acts that producers feel could break nationally. In its first season, “Band in Seattle” featured Ayron Jones & the Way, Cody Beebe & the Crooks, Star
Anna and Prom Queen, among regional favorites. The program airs at 11 p.m. Saturdays on CW11/ KSTW, with archived episodes available online at www.bandinseattle.com. On Friday, Nov. 14, SweetKiss Momma will play a concert at Seattle’s Victory Studios that will be featured on an upcoming episode, some time after the show’s second season kicks off in February. “We’re excited,” Hamel said. “It’s just an opportunity to show our music on a bigger platform. Coming from the South End there’s not a lot of opportunities for this kind of exposure. So it’s nice that they’re grabbing guys that are kind of out of the mainstream of what Seattle’s got going on.” Hamel said SweetKiss will mostly stick to triedand-true set staples from the first two albums (also 2010’s “Revival Rock”). But even the band’s diehard fans may be in for a surprise or two. The SweetKiss lineup had consisted of Hamel, his brother Jeremy on bass, Jimmy Hughs on drums and Aaron Arnold on lead guitar. In Seattle, Hamel said the band would be joined by his wife, Kim, singing backing vocals, keyboard player Eric Roberts and new guitarist Jack Parker, who has toured with popular Bremerton punk band, MxPx; and its twangier offshoot, Tumbledown.

“This is his first big show with us,” Hamel said of Parker. “I don’t know, with all the stuff coming up, if it was just gonna be too much for (Arnold) or if he was just completely tired of playing,” he said. “But he let us know in September that he was gonna start phasing himself out. We thought, if we’re gonna bring somebody on, let’s do it for the TV show.” SweetKiss Momma hopes to carry its momentum into next year, which will begin with the group’s first European tour. “We have pockets (of fans). Spain and Germany are definitely big ones for us,” he said of his band’s online sales. “Belgium we do pretty good in. Those three typically do really, really well for us.” Meanwhile, the “Band in Seattle” show will kick off at 7 p.m. and also feature a performance by Australian-born roots rocker Blake Noble. Tickets are $5 to $10, and are available online at www. brownpapertickets.com. Victory Studios is located at 2247 15th Ave. W., in Seattle; www.victorystudios.com.

HERB GODDESS HOROSCOPE Kerri Bailey is a horticulturist and a certified herbalist. She makes custom blends and consults at Ubiquitous Journey (www.UBJourney.com) on 6th Avenue. Kerri owns two businesses – the online herb store www.HerbalElements.net and a water garden store inside Alpine Nursery in South Hill (www.AlpineGrows.com) called The Pond Pad (www.ThePondPad.com). She writes blogs on gardening, ponds, natural health and herbal remedies and teaches classes through Free University (www.FreeUNW.com).
ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Fantastic ideas proposed by supposed experts may not be all they seem. Are all those changes and expense really going to make a difference? Usually you are everyone else’s savior; now it is time to save yourself. Properly put yourself first and learn not to neglect your needs.
LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Think outside of the box to increase your finances. Try various methods such as bartering, doing odd jobs for individuals, or making cool crafts as gifts or to sell at fairs or online. Allow your creative side to come to your rescue to aid in finding solutions to many dilemmas. Keep busy.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Increasing money resources has been a main focus these past few weeks. Several new avenues will be opening up to you. Delays that you have experienced will now be lifted. Where there was once darkness there is now clarity. Opposing parties should get out of your way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) There may have been a lot on your plate over the last few weeks causing anxiety and stress. This energy is lifting allowing messy problems and annoyances to dissipate. Daily routines have been changing to accommodate your lifestyle. Make the most of your situation.
GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Your long-term success may depend on your careful handling of your resources. Your financial situation may need an overhaul. There may be one or two issues that need firm action. Ask your partner or a friend for help in developing a plan for your future. All is not lost.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Are you really striving for the success of the team or do you have your own personal agenda? If you are feeling stubborn and unwilling to bend, try to be as gracious as possible. Gratitude can be hard to accept if we only put ourselves first or are overly selective. Practice neutrality.
CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Do you feel like you have been sacrificing your purpose in life to make others happy? Maybe your steadfast accomplishments and dedication are part of that bigger purpose. Your feelings run deep and may be hard for you to express but try to do so anyway. Release those emotions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Allowing stress to rule our emotions and temperament is self-defeating. The secret to happiness is within us all, allowing us to see the light within the darkness. Take time each day to shut off work or family problems so you can recharge your batteries and clear your mind of obstacles.
LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Luck will find you well. You could find money that you thought you didn’t have or an important problem finds a resolution. A transit gives you a new perspective on a revolving situation. Ask for help from trusted friends and family to help you make those important life-changing decisions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Winter seems to be your time to shine. The cool, crisp air makes you feel alive. Your creative mind has been working in overdrive. Write down your epiphanies as they come to you. There will be an answer in a cryptic message that will make better sense to you at a later date.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Sometimes it may help to stand back from intense situations and take a break. When you return, look at them from an outsider’s perspective to find what you have been missing. An epiphany may hit you helping to resolve those issues. An unlikely confidant may come to your aid.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) When we are used to being treated well by others, it can be easy to take them for granted. Remember how hard and dedicated your loved ones and family are to you. Be grateful that they hold you at such high regard. Take time to express your appreciation for all of their efforts.
