nder a beautiful sunny sky on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, the Puyallup Tribe held the formal dedication ceremony for its new Veterans Memorial Wall. Gathering outside of Takopid Health Center with men and women in dress uniforms representing many branches of military service, tribal members mixed with friends and family, visitors and honored guests for this important occasion. The memorial is now fully complete, with benches to sit on, new landscaping to admire and young evergreen trees planted. The last portion of the wall to be installed

featured eight bronze medallions, 36-inches in diameter and representing eight branches of service: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, National Guard and Air National Guard. Debra Sharp, project coordinator with the Tribe’s Design and Construction Management Department, remarked over the beauty of the memorial and explained that some trees had to be removed from the site, but only because of their poor health. “There were some existing trees and a lot of the community was sad to see us cut those trees down,” she said. “But we had an assessment done and the bigger trees were in poor health with fungus and structural weakness.” She acknowledged how difficult it was for tribal members to

see the trees come down, but the risk of the trees falling was too serious to ignore. When the dedication ceremony was ready to begin, members of the Puyallup Tribe’s Veterans Committee opened the event with committee chairman Clarence Tougaw as emcee. A mix of joy and some sadness was felt among the large turnout, as everyone gave thanks for the servicemen and servicewomen present and those who have passed. “Father, in the name of Jesus we come before you today to honor all of our veterans and all veterans who have gone to the other side,” said veteran Jim Westcott in his opening prayer. With assistance from Puyallup Tribal Veterans Committee ViceChair Michael Sisson, a tobacco offering was made to the spirits of the north, east, south

and west, to the spirit of the earth and to the memorial itself. “I pray for direction and understanding and wisdom for everybody here. The Word says if you ask for wisdom, you’ll get it liberally,” Westcott prayed. Then the drum group offered up four songs – a Flag Song, an Honor Song, the deeply moving “Soldier Boy” and a Closing Song. The drum group consisted of Soloman Scabbyrobe, Otto Eaglespeaker, Joseph Kickingwoman, DJ Brunner, David Duenas and Stanley Whiteman. Puyallup Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud gave the opening remarks before inviting the rest of the Tribal Council up to the podium. “Today on this sunny day, our Tribe’s long

Economic development staffers are reviewing proposals from four developers that submitted their visions to transform the vacant Old City Hall from a decaying void in downtown Tacoma to an economic and entertainment magnet. The city bought Old City Hall this summer for $4 million from the Stratford Co., which owned it for years and largely neglected it. City officials then set out to shore up the building to safeguard against futher damage and issued a call this fall to developers to submit redevelopment plans to recoup the purchase and bring the downtown landmark back to some sort of active use. Plans range from a hotel to office space to a bar and gallery. City staff have until the end of the month to forward a recommendation to the city manager, but one is likely expected by Thanksgiving. The review committee is looking over the details of each of the proposals and next week will interview the developers

Parents and kids living in the Tacoma School District have no shortage of options when it comes to education. In addition to public schools, the city enjoys a variety of private institutions, ranging from Montessori schools to private academies. Sitting firmly in this category is the Tacoma Waldorf School, a private-grassroots institution that is now entering its 25th year. The Waldorf School is not just a community for its students and parents, but also welcomes the community at large in the form of their seasonal fairs.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

EL GAUCHO TO HOLD BENEFIT FOR JUAN PEREZ In July 2014, Tacoma icon Juan Perez – perhaps best known for his nearly 30 years of playing piano at Nordstrom in the Tacoma Mall – survived a serious health scare when a tumor was removed from his heart. He went back to playing his beloved piano at various events and venues around town, including El Gaucho restaurant in Tacoma. Sadly, Perez’ cancer has returned. To help Perez with his medical bills and other expenses, El Gaucho, at 2119 Pacific Ave., will be holding a benefit for him on Sunday, Nov. 22 from 4-10 p.m. in which all staff gratuities and profits during these hours will go to Perez and his family. “Juan represents the very best of what the Tacoma community is all about. He is caring, giving, kind, and hard working. Juan’s El Gaucho family salutes his giving heart and we are privileged to host this benefit for him and his family,� said Joe Vego, general manager of El Gaucho Tacoma. El Gaucho invites the public to come by, enjoy a delicious meal and help this much-deserving man and his family through this rough time. To make reservations or for more info, call (253) 272-1510. Also visit www.elgaucho/dine/tacoma. HOME CANVASSING INITIATIVE LAUNCHES THIS MONTH In October, 68 Tacoma homes were scheduled for foreclosure auction. Foreclosures are still a reality for many homeowners in Tacoma. To help educate homeowners and tenants about resources and how to access them to avoid foreclosure, the City of Tacoma has partnered with Seattle University School of Law’s Foreclosure Mediation and Outreach Project to launch a canvassing effort called HOME – Home Ownership Mediation and Education. Trained canvassers will be knocking on Tacoma doors in neighborhoods where the foreclosure rate is high to provide resource packets and information to homeowners and tenants who may be facing foreclosure. “We recognize that for many in our community, the threat of foreclosure is a very real concern,� said Nadia Chandler Hardy, Neighborhood and Community Services Department Director. “For those in our community facing foreclosure, we want them to be educated about resources and ways to avoid losing their homes, which is why we are launching this canvassing initiative.� Canvassers will begin outreach in late November and continue through February. The outreach includes a packet of materials with information about foreclosure prevention help, low-income resources and rebates, as well as information for tenants. Existing programs and services are already making a difference by providing free homeownership counseling and connection to foreclosure mediation and other services to struggling homeowners. Unfortunately, only 10 percent of homeowners facing foreclosure are taking advantage of these resources, according to the Department of Financial Institutions. Resulting foreclosures have led to significant personal and community losses, especially in communities of color. “We want this program to help people learn about and access existing city, county, state and federal programs,� Chandler Hardy said. “Keeping people in their homes helps create stronger, healthier communities.� For more information or to request ways to help, please contact Angeline Thomas, Foreclosure Mediation and Outreach Project Staff Attorney at (206) 398-4304 or by email at thomasan@seattleu.edu.

South G and Sixth Ave Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. While that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

COALITION FORMED TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISIS A prominent group of more than 50 community leaders have come together to address the behavioral health crisis in Pierce and South King Counties. This diverse group of business, labor, health care and community leaders are urging federal, state, local governments and private entities to help with the funding of the MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan Health partnership to build a 120 bed psychiatric hospital in Tacoma, to address the enormous behavioral health services gap in Pierce and South King Counties. Currently, Washington State ranks near the lowest in the nation in terms of inpatient psychiatric capacity. The national average is 26.1 beds per 100,000 residents and Washington State averages 8.3 beds. Overall the State of Washington ranks 48th out of 50 States when looking at the prevalence of mental health problems compared to access to care. Pierce County ranks at the bottom of all urban counties in Washington State with 2.8 beds per 100,000 residents. “We must come together as a community to prioritize the building of this 120 bed psychiatric hospital. The mentally ill are lost in our jails and justice systems where they do not belong, affecting our families, our community and our businesses� said Brad Cheney – Co-Chair of the Coalition. Dr. Bill Weyerhaeuser, the other co-chair of the Coalition stated, “As a former practicing clinical psychologist, I strongly believe it is imperative that our community responds thoughtfully to this crisis. Pierce County has the second highest utilization of inpatient psychiatric services of any county in Washington State. The lack of Behavioral Health beds in Pierce County is a chief reason why our emergency departments have such long wait times.� CHI Franciscan and MultiCare, the two preeminent health care providers in Pierce County, have come together to build a 120 bed psychiatric hospital. The new hospital will share a general campus with MultiCare Allenmore Hospital. The hospital will be the anchor of a full continuum of integrated, high value, behavioral health

services for South Sound communities. The proposed MultiCare and CHI Franciscan hospital is currently under review in a competitive application process with the State Department of Health Certificate of Need Division. U.S. Congressman Derek Kilmer, who is helping convene this effort to address the behavioral health crisis in the region stated, “It is clear that our community is not doing enough for individuals and families who struggle with behavioral health issues in the South Sound.� said Kilmer. “In countless meetings with private employers, police and EMT workers, municipal leaders, and others these challenges have come up, and I’m proud that so many of our community leaders have stepped up to expand local access to quality behavioral health services. We have a moral and economical imperative to act.� PROPOSAL WOULD CRACK DOWN ON ILLEGAL MARIJUANA OPERATIONS After July 1, 2016, unlicensed marijuana sales operations in unincorporated Pierce County will be in violation of the law. Now that a budget amendment authored by Councilmember Doug Richardson has been adopted, those caught breaking the law after the cutoff deadline can be arrested and prosecuted. “The county had been waiting for clarification from the state in regards to marijuana law, so even though we have all these illegal retail stores, the county hasn’t been doing anything about them,� said Richardson, who represents the county’s 6th Council District. “Now that state law is clear and a date has been set, anyone caught selling marijuana without a license in unincorporated Pierce County after July 1 of next year will be considered a drug dealer.� There are over 80 unlicensed marijuana sales businesses currently operating illegally in unincorporated Pierce County. Those establishments received a letter in late July announcing their requirement to comply with state and county law prior to July 1, 2016, or face the consequences. Richardson says his amendment has been under development behind the scenes for some time. It was adopted 4-3 at the Pierce County Council’s regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The measure will establish a marijuana enforcement fund in the county budget to provide the Sheriff’s Department and Prosecuting Attorney’s Office the resources needed to close the illegal dispensaries and prosecute violators. “Right now, several of these stores are operating very near schools and other inappropriate locations,� Richardson added. “This measure will help make those neighborhoods safer.� The council is expected to finalize the budget for 2016 on Monday, Nov. 16. COUNTY COUNCILMEMBER CONCERNED BUDGET WILL MAKE MARIJUANA PROBLEMS WORSE During the Pierce County Council’s budget debate at their Nov. 10 meeting, the body adopted an amendment that would create a special fund to enforce state and county marijuana laws. Councilmember Joyce McDonald – a vehement opponent of legalizing marijuana – voted against the measure, saying it will have the effect of pushing retail marijuana operations into unincorporated areas of the county. “The amendment that created the so-called ‘marijuana enforcement fund’ relies on loans that are supposed to be paid back with excise taxes from the sale of marijuana,� said McDonald, who represents the 2nd Council District. “I can’t think of anything more backward than legalizing a drug so that we can collect taxes on it and use them to fight illegal sales of the drug.� The budget amendment creates a fund dedicated to providing resources to the County Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, but does so by borrowing money from the general fund. McDonald says the funds could only then be restored by legalizing marijuana sales, something she says is the beginning of a much bigger problem. “When the voters of Washington passed Initiative 502 legalizing recreational marijuana, very few of them could actually foresee the consequences. Now that it’s been more or less legal for a few years, people are beginning to experience the negative results,� McDonald added. “That’s why 62 percent of Federal Way voters banned marijuana even though 53 percent of them initially approved it in 2012. Lakewood, Puyallup, Fife, Gig Harbor, and several other cities have also passed bans, which essentially just pushes the problem out to unincorporated Pierce County.� McDonald added that she is considering a proposal that would put the question of legalizing the production, processing and retail sales of marijuana in Pierce County to a vote of the people. NOMINATIONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR MLK COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD The City of Tacoma, City Events and Recognitions Committee, is now accepting applications for the MLK Community Service Award to be awarded at the 28th Annual Martin Luther King Jr., Birthday Celebration, Monday, Jan. 18, 2016.

MoM, police seek answers to speakMan Murder By David Rose Correspondent

A mother is heartbroken and left with many questions after her mentally disabled son was shot and killed in Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood DAVID ROSE around 6:15 a.m. on Nov. 3. Kim Nystrom said her son, 26-year-old Steven Speakman, had the mind of a 10-year-old. "I just want to know who would do this to Steven,” said Nystrom. “I just want to find out who did this." He was found in a doorway on the sidewalk near Martin Luther King Jr. Way and South 11th Street. "Everybody around, everybody you talk to, they know Steven. He’s just a friendly kid,” said Nystrom. Tacoma Police also want answers. "He may have been there because you can get Wi-Fi at that

location," said Tacoma Police Officer Loretta Cool. "He couldn't get it at his apartment, but we don’t know that for sure." Detectives say Steven was well known by the business people in the area and everybody liked him. Cool adds, "Normally, with a shooting, a homicide, there’s some sort of exchange or something that leads up to it. We’re not hearing from anyone that there was any significant argument or fight with anyone in his life. We’re looking for anyone who maybe was in the area, who saw something, didn’t think it was important at the time, but now realizes that that’s what they were seeing,” she said. If you have any information that can help Tacoma Police detectives put the pieces together of what happened that morning or saw Steven with anyone the night before he was killed, call an anonymous tip in to Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222TIPS (8477). There is $1,000 cash reward for the tip that leads to an arrest in the case.

County CounCil votes to fund ProPerty Crime unit

By Ed Troyer

Over the past two years, I have been working with the County Council to fund a five person Property Crime Unit (one sergeant/four deputies). I am pleased to inform you that, on Nov. 16, the County Council voted unanimously to support funding the unit effective Jan. 1, 2016. This Unit is long overdue in addressing crimes that impact the highest majority of the citizens we serve. For example, in 2014, there were 3,080 burglaries reported in unincorporated Pierce County but we were only able to follow up and investigate about 650. This is frustrating to the public and probably a source of joy to offenders. This is not satisfactory. But it is not due to lack of care or motivation or effort on the part of our people. It is due to the fact that we need more people. I am happy to report that,

Time is relative to some people. While being banned from a location for a year means being banned for a year, for a certain criminal on Oct. 31 being banned for a year apparently means just a few seconds. Police responded to a call from a 6th Avenue business about a man harassing customers. It was déjà vu for the business, as one hour earlier they had called the police about the same man and he was promptly banned from the business for a year. When the officers arrived for the second go around, he was once again reminded of the ban and was transported to Pierce county Jail for second degree trespassing. When asked why he returned to the business after being banned, the man claimed he thought the limitation expired as soon as the officers left him alone. The arresting officers made it very clear to him, on his ride to the station, that the time limit does not expire as soon as they take their eyes off of him.

slowly we are bringing our numbers back up and being able to better target property crimes in 2016. Sheriff Paul Pastor said, “Once the funding is in place, my staff and I will apply these resources immediately to impact property crime in unincorporated Pierce County communities. We look forward to focusing on high rate offenders holding them accountable.” I look forward to seeing the results of the work this Unit will do for the citizens of Pierce County. And as we move this effort forward, I look forward to pushing for (and getting the public to help us push for) more personnel to recover the positions we have lost and to build our numbers out further. “I am grateful to the Council for funding these resources,” said Sheriff Pastor. “They will help us narrow the gap

between what the public properly expects and what our staffing resources allow us to deliver.” The Council also authorized funding for two investigators beginning in March for marijuana enforcement. They will ensure retail and medical marijuana sales are lawful by focusing on licensing and illegal sales and combating the black market inventory. We will continue to work hard to recruit and hire good candidates for the existing open positions in corrections. The best thing about this Department is the people in it. The worst thing is that there are not enough of those people.

HILLTOP SANTA ON HIS WAY TO MAKE CHRISTMAS BRIGHT By Matt Nagle

matt@tacomaweekly.com

He’s making a list and checking it twice‌ because Hilltop Santa is coming to town again this year. Also known as lifelong Hilltop resident Tom Reynolds, the Hilltop Santa is now in his sixth year of making the holidays merry for children in town whose families otherwise may not be able to afford all the Christmas goodies that youngsters look forward to so very much at this time of year. In his authentic, red Santa suit, real whiskers and real “padding,â€? Reynolds gets a lot of joy from his once yearly outing as old Saint Nick. With a couple of helpers, he spends all year working to line up locations to visit with children and to secure donations of candy and toys. This year his schedule is as follows: Nov. 28 at People’s Community Center, 1602 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hosted by the Toy Rescue Mission. Photos cost just $5 and children will receive a small toy and a candy cane as they give their wish list to Santa. Adults can register to win artificial Christmas trees and more. Dec. 9 at Shiloh Baptist Church, 1211 S. I St., from 6-9 p.m. Dec. 12 at Allen AME Church, 1223 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, from 9-11:30 a.m., then at Sam & Terry’s Barber Shop, 1110 S. 11th St., from noon to 3 p.m. with an appearance by Constance Trufant of the Trufant Family Foundation. With the holidays just around the corner, Reynolds is putting out the call for much needed donations of candy and small toys, coloring books and crayons and such that he can give to his little visitors. Those wishing to help him out are asked to please call Reynolds at (253) 576-0321 or (253) 272-5551. TOY RESCUE MISSION NEEDS YOU Last year was the first time that Reynolds partnered with Tacoma’s Toy Rescue Mission and it was such a hit that crowds could barely fit inside to visit with him. That’s why this year, Reynolds’ appearance as Santa with Toy Rescue Mission is being held at People’s Community Center on Nov. 28. “We have too many kids to get inside this building,â€? said Toy Rescue Mission Board President Martha Davis. Truly an unsung hero in Tacoma, Davis puts her heart and soul into the Toy Rescue Mission, which refurbishes and recycles gently used toys for disadvantaged children and seniors in care facilities while providing meaningful volunteer opportunities for the young-at-heart. She has dedicated volunteers helping out with everything, and she could use more especially at this time of year. At Christmastime, the mission serves more than 125 families a day starting around Dec. 2. In total for last year, the mission served 11,152 children and seniors, 7,000 of those in December alone. The mission provides for children’s birthdays throughout the year and is at its busiest at

Christmas, Easter and back-to-school time. Currently, the mission needs volunteers to join the groups of volunteers already helping to make children’s wishes come true throughout the year. Donations are needed as well. For anyone looking to donate monetary funds, there are PayPal links on the website – www.toyrescuemission.org – and for the rest of 2015, the mission is accepting the following items only: • Board games (new or used) • Books for ages 1 to 15 • Christmas stockings • Christmas wrapping paper • Game consoles in any format (new or used) • Gift Cards (iTunes, Starbucks, Google Play, etc.) • Hair appliances in good working order • Lap blankets and walker bags for the Senior Program • Monetary donations • MP3 players • New toys (especially for ages 10 and up) • Portable electronics (alarm clocks, etc.) • Puzzles • Stuffed animals (new or used) • Candy canes

The current popular themed items the Toy Rescue Mission most appreciates are Star Wars, Minions, Disney’s Frozen and Minnie Mouse. Due to lack of storage space, they cannot accept small trinkets, large riding toys, Barbies or toys with missing or broken parts. If you have a donation that falls outside of the list above and you would like Toy Rescue Mission to consider it, contact them through the website or by calling (253) 460-6711. Unfortunately, the Toy Rescue Mission is facing relocation from its current spot next to Tacoma Boys at 607 S. Winnifred St. The owners are selling the building and additional properties nearby, so Davis and her crew are on the lookout for a new location, which isn’t going to be easy. “The people who own this building have been very kind and they understand our mission,� Davis said. “We’ve looked at similar buildings that are smaller and the rent is three times what we’ve been paying. So we’re hoping people will know our cause and be sympathetic if they have properties or know of properties. The key is the bus line because a lot of our clients have no other way to get here. They have to be able to find us easily.� Davis added that the mission needs approximately 6,000 sq. ft. and accessible parking for all the families that visit. Right now the mission partners with the Kmart next door so that people can park there and walk to the mission. Learn more about the mission at www.toyrescuemission.org and on Facebook.

BomBs will Not heal our BrokeN hearts By Rivera Sun In the past 36 hours, I have watched and listened to hundreds of reactions of ordinary people to the attacks in Paris. With a clenched gut, I feared the reiteration of the sequence of 9/11: anger, shock, fear, calls for vengeance, war and more violence. Instead, I saw the unexpected, and a tendril of hope grew inside my heart. Here is some of what I saw: Compassion for the scared, frightened, injured, killed. A willingness to remember that all across the world, there are people frightened, hurt, angry and lost. An acknowledgment of the cycle of violence begetting violence begetting more and more violence. A stark look at our own nation (the U.S.) and our role in terrorism, invasion, drone strikes, illegal wars, destabilizing governments, regions, peoples. The courage to speak up for an end to this vicious, horrific cycle. To say the unthinkable: that perhaps more war, bombs, weapons, troops, guns is not going to heal the broken hearts of Paris, Baghdad, Beirut, Yemen, Syria, United States, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Israel, and . . . The knowledge that the list is endless. We speak the illimitable names of all the communities touched by violence, terrorism, war, destruction. We say their names as if reading out a roll call of the Earth.

And She is weeping, too. Earth. Prayers are spoken, tears are falling, people are speaking, honesty and truth telling are breaking open the fear, giving room for compassion, until . . . We see ourselves in the faces of the world. Our sorrows, their sorrows. Our fears, their fears. Our broken dreams, and theirs. Our wrong actions, and theirs. Our silence, their silence. Our courage, their courage. Our love, their love. Our love. In hundreds of comments, posts, tweets, words, emails, speeches, I am seeing a glimpse of the impossible: that you, my friends, love this Earth and all her inhabitants. That you see this violence is killing us . . . each and every one of us. We cannot bomb our way to peace. We cannot shoot our way to safety. We cannot drone strike our sense of security back. That “terrorist� is a label that could fall on the faces of us all. That our nation, like their nation, has picked up bombs and blown apart the fabric of human lives. The words of our mothers come back to us: “Two wrongs do not make a right.� And no amount of bombs will fix our broken hearts. Instead, we must do the impossible, the only thing that can get us out of darkness. We must break the cycle of violence. We must return hatred

with understanding. We must search our souls for the truth about why and how these things occur. And then, we must work for change. No one said it would be easy. In the weeks to come, the usual voices on their large podiums and loudspeakers, their television networks, and radio chains, and conglomerate newspapers will start shouting about retribution and driving out terrorism, invasions, increased troops, more fighter jets, drones strikes, bombs. They will convince our friends and neighbors that we are the dreamers. They will tell us we are unpatriotic, that we want the terrorists to succeed. Unless we take a different course. A difficult course. The path we might have taken 13 years ago, of seeing our face in those that we fear. In seeing the mirror of our common humanity. In seeking understanding instead of annihilation. In changing the course of history toward a world beyond the threat of violence. I am courageous enough to think this might be possible . . . and audacious enough to speak out, act up, and work with my fellow human beings to make this vision so.

Alcoa’s announcement that it is shutting down our state’s last two aluminum smelters may be a long -awaited requiem for some, but there are other factors we should consider before burying it. First, the Seattle Times reports the decision will cost 1,500 family-wage jobs with good benefits. And even though the trend has not been good for our aluminum industry, we need to look for opportunities to resurrect it. In 2000, Seattle economist Dick Conway found the five largest smelters in Washington employed more than 7,500 people and generated $2.6 billion in revenue. The average salary for aluminum workers at the time was $49,330, which was 1.7 times our state’s average. Second, the loss of smelting capacity in America should alarm us. Since 2007, Alcoa has cut its domestic production by 45 percent. As a result, we are becoming more dependent on other nations for the materials we need to defend our nation, restore our manufacturing sector and grow our economy. There are several reasons given for Alcoa’s decision. Among them, cheaper foreign competition, the worldwide economic slowdown, especially in China, and the glut of metals on world markets causing metal prices to plummet. Then toss in rising energy costs and union contract disputes. The bottom line? Once an

economic powerhouse in the nation’s top aluminum producing regions, Washington’s aluminum producers may be on a trajectory toward extinction. Now we will have to rely more on China, Russia and other nations for our strategic metals, and given the strategic challenges posed by some of those nations today, that is a dangerous trend. The only silver lining is there are no immediate plans to raze those two smelters. They have closed before and then restarted, the last time in 2011. However, others have been demolished over last two decades in Mead, Vancouver, Goldendale, Tacoma and Longview. Mining and smelting are not pretty and in the past have polluted our air and water with heavy metals, arsenic and sulfur gases. Many of the old smelter sites, especially those which processed copper, silver and other metals mined in Montana, northern Idaho and Washington are Superfund clean-up sites. Some of those large copper and silver smelters were built before 1900. Until the early 1970s, they dealt with air pollution by raising the stacks on their smelters to disperse the contaminants and installed settling ponds for waste water. When much-needed new pollution laws were enacted, many of the old smelters were inefficient and their environmental controls were insufficient. But as costs climbed, our smelters could not compete on the world market with those from

No requiem for Northwest alumiNum By Don C. Brunell

Within hours of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, cities around the world sent America their warm embraces of support as we shook in horror of what happened and in fear of what else could come. Following the 9/11 attacks, French newspapers flashed the headlines of “Nous Sommes Tout AmĂŠricainâ€? (We Are All American) as a show of solidarity with American people. France is America’s oldest ally, as French blood was spilled to give birth to this nation during the American Revolution, and American blood stained French ground to rescue it from tyranny in World War II. Like all siblings, America and France have stood together at times and bickered at times. Oh, how trivial and silly it seems now to remember the renaming of twig shaped potato snacks from French fries to Freedom fries in the Congressional cafeteria during one such spat. Well, it is now America’s turn to comfort and support our brother as it allowed us to weep on its collective shoulder during our darkest moment. Last week’s attacks in Paris left 129 dead and 352 wounded across the City of Lights and brought panics of more attacks to come around Europe. What is interesting to note, however, is how America and France have diverged in their response to those attacks. American lawmakers have called for “a pauseâ€? in the migration of refugees from Syria out of fear that terrorists could be hiding among the men, women and children fleeing their homeland in search of safety on strange soil that is only possible after years of security screenings and background checks. While America debates clamping down on accepting refugees, France is widening its arms to those in need. It is most telling that a gift from France to the United States, the Statue of Liberty, the symbol of national pride, does not tout our military might or our fiscal policy or programs to stay safe through isolationism and abandonment of world issues. It mentions America as a gleaming light of a new dawn, a new hope for people fleeing oppression around the globe. The now-famed lines of Emma Lazarus’ “The New Colossusâ€? stand as not only a statement to the world but as a call to action for Americans. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" America must decide if that golden door is open to those fleeing most certain misery and likely death or if it will be closed to those most in need of a respite from war. France has opened its door despite the gut reaction to huddle down in fear after being so violently attacked, knowing that morality and humanity can’t be suspended, even in times of its own need. Let’s hope America can learn from France’s example. Sometimes one brother must teach another by leading the way – hand in hand – through the darkened steps of an unknown path.

places like Norilsk, Russia’s most polluted city. However, aluminum processing is different. While it has had its environmental challenges, companies have invested to comply with our high environmental standards. In our region, the aluminum industry started with the completion of Grand Coulee and Bonneville dams, which produce greenhouse gas free electricity. That excess “cheap electricity� generated from the Columbia River hydro system was just what the industry needed to turn imported bauxite into aluminum ingots. When Boeing started using aluminum for World War II bombers, the aluminum industry grew and flourished. Because of its light weight and strength, Boeing still uses it in the commercial airplanes assembled in Renton and Everett. Even highend new electric cars like Tesla are cast in aluminum. The point is aluminum production is important to our state. While our state’s aluminum industry has faded, aluminum is still in high demand. The only questions are where will it be smelted and where will those manufacturing jobs be located? Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.

WILLIAM’S CUSTOMER SERVICE HEROES We all experience customer service on a daily basis, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Finding the good ones can really be a rewarding experience, so I am on the lookout to find the people who go that extra make to give the best customer service. In the coming weeks I will be secret shopping local businesses on the hunt for the people that deliver the best top notch customer service. I am on a mission to find the people behind the jobs. How often do employees get praised by customers for taking good care of them? I want to spotlight and recognize these unsung heroes among us – the ones who, just by doing their job, can make our days better. Please help me by nominating anyone you know who delivers outstanding service and I may just secret shop that person. You can reach me at william@tacomaweekly.com.

As a lifelong entrepreneur, and small business owner from practically the time he was old enough to do so, William Manzanares has experienced all the ups and down of owning his own businesses. By taking risks and learning from his mistakes and his successes, over the years he has amassed considerable knowledge of what it takes to start a small business from the ground up and keep it running strong. Now with co-host Michael Harris, Manzanares is on a mission to share what he’s learned on KLAY 1180 AM radio through the duo’s program “It’s Just Business� (Thursdays at 3 p.m.) and through this new business page of the same name, which will be appearing bi-weekly in the Tacoma Weekly. Here you will find interviews with business owners, business profiles, advice and more, as Manzanares seeks to help local entrepreneurs realize their dreams. “I’m not where I’m at in life because of me. I’m where I’m at in life because of everyone around me who has helped me along the way. So the idea of this column is to give back – spotlight those people who need a hand up,� he said. He wants to help young entrepreneurs in particular. “I want to reach out to kids and be the inspiration and say you can make it. When someone reaches out to a kid and gives them hope, it makes them explore so I’m hoping that I can be an inspiration to kids who may not be in the best situation but can know that they can achieve anything they want in life if they just put the work in for it.� From as far back as he can remember Manzanares has had a mind for business. “As a kid, I only liked to read the comics and the business section in the newspaper on Sundays. I’ve liked reading about business since I was little – anything having to do with business.� He even set up a small convenience store in his bedroom and got a cash register for his 10th birthday. “I was made fun of by my friends, but in the end, they were buying stuff from me.� Later in life, his interest in business remained strong but he didn’t seek to earn a college business degree. Instead, he was determined to be his own boss and get there on his own terms. “I had enough vision to know I didn’t want to go to work for someone else. I needed to learn it on my own,� he said. “I don’t want to knock education but I know that I am where I’m at in life because of all the mentors and people who have helped me along the way.� He devoured books on the subject of business ownership and the traits of titans of business like Ted Turner, Bill Gates and McDonald’s founder Ray Crocker. “With everything in my businesses that I have done, I have tried emulating the great titans of the past and what they did. I used their examples and tried to put it into practice.�

WILLIAM MANZANARES

Malcolm Gladwells’s book “Outliers: The Story of Successâ€? greatly inspired Manzanares. In his book Gladwell asserts that people aren’t born great, they get there through concerted effort, which Gladwell calls the “10,000 hour rule.â€? He writes, â€œâ€Śyou need to have practiced, to have apprenticed, for 10,000 hours before you get good." Whether citing Bill Gates or the Beatles as examples, it was the cause and effect of circumstances that led them to success. The same holds true with Manzanares. “It’s my passion. I love it. I don’t mind giving free advice to people and I don’t mind helping other business owners out. In the end, entrepreneurship is different than any other job because you have to work for it. No one is going to do it for you. We can be anything we want. I believe the American dream is alive if you’re willing to work for it and put in the effort. We can be whatever we want to be in this country and no one can stop you.â€?

another day in your life.� Another rule of thumb to remember is if you surround yourself with positive people, you will succeed in your personal life as well as in your business life. JaMeel Releford of Complete Athlete is the epitome of how to succeed in your own personal goals. As the owner of this Tacoma small business, JaMeel helps a broad range of clientele – from people looking to lose some weight to seasoned athletes – reach their personal goals as they work on their mind, body and inner peace. “It’s a big family. We encourage each other and we focus on our goals and we conquer them,� he says. A personal trainer for nine years, JaMeel’s work history includes time in the “corporate world� at Bally Total Fitness. There, he learned that people are more important than the bottom line and he brought this business ethic to Complete Athlete, which just celebrated its one-year anniversary last June. JaMeel is a people person, so owning a business that focuses on people makes it a real pleasure for him. “I learned a lot (at Bally’s) but one thing is I was focused on the numbers and I didn’t get a chance to invest in those people I wanted to. I was pushed to sell. When I started my own business, I could invest in people more, and more business came my direction.� The difference between Complete Athlete and other gyms I’ve been to is that Complete Athlete has more of a family feeling. Like JaMeel says, if you want to lose weight and have a great lifestyle, you have other family there that wants the same things you do. “They want to lose 10 pounds or they want to tone up or so forth, and so we’re all helping each other out and have a good time. It’s stress free and just enjoying life.� Walking into his gym was unlike any other experience I’ve ever had in a gym. It’s like being in a workout DVD except he goes to your level of fitness and works on your goals, no one else’s around you. Another thing is that you’re not just a number like you might be at another gym. It’s welcoming and motivating. And JaMeel gets to share in his clients’ successes, which for him is the best part.� You have to love what you do and I love what you do.� JaMeel also isn’t into hard selling tactics just to get more people in the door. Instead, he invites interested clients to come in and try Complete Athlete and see if they like it. “I’m focused on the people, not the sale,� he says. “If you like it – the vibes, the energy – come and join us.� JaMeel said he goes by the three A’s where his business is concerned – affordable prices, attainable goals and abundant support. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or launch your own business, JaMeel says they have one thing in common: “Vision it. You have to have that vision first of where you want to be and how you’re going to get there. The times that you’re tired or don’t want to move forward, remember your ‘why’ – why is your goal important to you? Then get up and just go.� JaMeel said he is excited for the coming year and what opportunities will come his way to make his business stronger. “One thing that has helped my business grow is giving back. I’m a big believer in the more you give, the more you receive. So saying that, in the future we have things to give back to the community.� He’s also focusing on more marketing, having fun with social media and finding ways to invest in people. “I love people and everybody brings something to the table. You’re always learning from others, to see what they’ve gone through and how they’re conquering it. That motivates me.� Learn more about Complete Athlete at Facebook.com/ completeathletefitnesscenter, www.Gocompleteathlete.com or call (253) 212-0156.

UWT BEGINS AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES MINOR THIS WINTER By Matt Nagle

matt@tacomaweekly.com

Starting this winter, University of Washington-Tacoma will officially offer an American Indian Studies minor. Developed by Assistant Professors Michelle Montgomery and Danica Sterud Miller and grounded by a strong commitment to the histories, representations and political struggles of indigenous peoples, the intellectual focus of the American Indian Studies (AIS) minor will use interdisciplinary methods of critical inquiry as a means through which students engage research and scholarship in their major fields of studies. “Students in the AIS minor will gain a profound sense of the richness of indigenous communities and experiences, which will help them to understand their own sense of self and how to engage with our diverse world,� Sterud Miller said. According to the description of the minor on UWT’s website, students in the American Indian Studies minor will develop an increased awareness of their own culture and the cultures of Indigenous peoples and learn to identify and articulate critical questions and approaches that respect and utilize indigenous paradigms and the common theoretical assumptions of indigenous cultures. Students will also

develop facility in communicating with and between indigenous and non-indigenous populations and groups in the execution of their academic and professional duties. Montgomery and Sterud Miller say it is the hope of the American Indian Studies faculty that the minor will promote an appreciation of indigenous pluralistic societies and sovereign rights. Students pursuing the minor are expected to participate in the intellectual life of indigenous peoples, which will host a speaker series, conferences and symposia, and cultural workshops. Sterud Miller said that because of the breadth of the AIS courses, the AIS minor will complement almost all of the majors offered at UWT. “Currently, I have history majors, business majors, and political science majors, to name a few, pursuing the minor. Dr. Montgomery and I would love to hear from students who are interested in the minor, but who are uncertain how it can complement a specific major.â€? With the American Indian Studies Minor, students will: • learn to assess socially meaningful identities in a variety of cultural and critical contexts and to communicate across social boundaries in a multi-cultural world; • learn how to integrate and link ethnic, gender and labor studies; • develop comparative research and

critical thinking skills for understanding the range of lived experiences within Indigenous communities and to understand how power operates in society; • develop research and writing skills in an integrative learning approach including a range of humanities and social science perspectives; and understand various analytical and/ or rhetorical frameworks related to various areas of study within ethnic, gender and labor studies and relevant to the world of work, civic engagement and community development. All the AIS minor courses will at least include indigenous coastal peoples, if not focus on them solely. “We aim to be as inclusive of all tribal communities as possible. Indeed, I think it is the rich diversities of the indigenous experience that makes our courses (and minor) so exciting,â€? Sterud Miller said. You can declare a minor by completing the Request to Declare/Change a Major or Minor form found at www. tacoma.uw.edu/node/38232 and submitting it to the Office of the Registrar. You must have earned a minimum of 45 credits and declared a major before declaring a minor. Visit www.tacoma. uw.edu/node/41908 for a detailed listing of course requirements. If you have any questions about this process, please see your advisor.

Skip the mall and Shop Small By Calvin Goings SBA Regional Administrator, Region 10

Tacoma’s small businesses have the power to propel the local economy and uplift the community. When our small businesses do well, our community does well too. Please join thousands of your neighbors and “shop small� on Small Business SaturdayŽ, Nov. 28, to support your local business owners and support the Tacoma economy. With the holiday season upon us, I cannot think of a better time to recommit in honoring our neighborhood champions – Tacoma’s small businesses. After hitting the mall on Black Friday, shopping small is a concrete way to support small businesses – the same businesses that create two of every three new jobs, and deliver essential goods and services 365 days a year. Shopping small packs a big punch to the local economy. Last year, there were 88 million consumers “Shopping Small� on Saturday. Seventy-seven percent of consumers said Small Business SaturdayŽ inspires them to “Shop Small� throughout the year and not just for the holidays. In addition, 66 percent of consumers state the main reason they support small businesses is because of their contributions to the community. You can do your part with these five simple steps: If you’re a business owner, make sure you’re prepared for the holiday season by checking out helpful advice at www.sba.gov/smallbusinesssaturday. If you’re a customer, commit to making at least one purchase from a locally-owned small business retailer. You can also dine small at your local restaurant to usher in the new tradition of supporting local eateries too. Enjoy the experience. Travel outside your comfort zone – and away from your computer screen -– to discover a unique neighborhood shopping district with some trendy local stores. Take part in Small Business SaturdayŽ on social media, using the hashtag #SmallBizSat to amplify your support. If you find a great small business retailer with unique products, Tweet or Facebook your find so others can enjoy it too. When you open your gifts, start a conversation about which one came from the most distinctive and creative sellers. This can make for great family debate over eggnog. I know I’ll be shopping small with my friends and family on Saturday, Nov. 28. I encourage you to do the same – and remember that “shop small� refers to whom you buy from and not how much you buy! For more information, check out: www.sba.gov/ smallbusinesssaturday. Calvin W. Goings serves as the Regional Administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration for Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska.

MAIA SANTELL AND HOUSE BLEND BRING HOLIDAY SONG AND DANCE TO JAZZBONES

Northwest jazz and blues singer Maia Santell and her backing band House Blend perform their annual holiday concert and dance at Jazzbones, 2803 6th Ave. in Tacoma, on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 7:30-10 p.m. All ages welcome, $8 cover with no charge for youth ages 14 and under. Reservations recommended by calling (253) 396-9169. The band’s repertoire includes jazz, blues, swing, rhythm and blues, big band and holiday favorites like “Merry Christmas Baby,� “Please Come Home For Christmas,� “Santa Baby,� Nancy Wilson’s, “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?� and Mel Torme’s holiday classic, “The Christmas Song.� Santell’s team of House Blend players include Al Alto on guitar, John Beach

on tenor saxophone, Steve Luceno on upright bass and Mike Slivka on drums. An added feature, performing between 8:30-9 p.m., is the Emerald City Blues Band Trio, with Avery Johnston on guitar, Miranda Kitchpanich on vocals and Ava Adams on vocals. Presented by the Puget Sound Music For Youth Association, these young artists are members of the Emerald City Blues Band, which is representing the South Sound Blues Association in the Youth Showcase at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee, in January 2016. Maia Santell is a descendant of Seattle’s Jackson Street era of jazz and swing. Her mom, dad and uncle were prominent jazz musicians who performed in the Northwest music scene for 40 years. Her talent, phrasing, and clear, warm, unaffected vocal style can be attributed to her rich musical heritage, including attending Seattle’s Garfield High School, singing in jazz ensembles and musicals and performing in her uncle’s combo, The Frank Sugia Quartet, which featured such jazz giants as Joe Venuti and Red Kelly. Santell has performed at such leading venues as Jazz Alley, The New Orleans Restaurant in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, Argosy Cruises, The Seattle Art Museum and St. Michelle Wineries, and is a mainstay in the South Sound at Studio 6 Ballroom, Johnny’s Dock, The Gray Sky Blues Festival and the Tacoma Freedom Fair.

awaited veterans memorial wall dedication is taking place,” he said. “We have a long list of veteran tribal members over the years, many who have passed to the other side, but I know they are watching today this ceremony with all our ancestors.” He asked for a moment of silence for those veterans who are no longer with us, as Puyallup tribal member David Duenas silently talked to the ancestors while the crowd remained hushed and the drum was struck four times. “Today, here, we have a place of peace – a place to think of our veterans in a good way,” Sterud said. “A place of honor for a special group of men and women, a place to give special recognition for without our veterans and their sacrifices, what would our world be? I’m honored and humbled to be a part of this Veterans Day celebration and the dedication of this amazing Veterans Memorial Wall.” Tougaw approached the microphone and draped Sterud in a blanket. “On behalf of the tribal veterans, without the Tribal Council we would not have gotten this far,” Tougaw said. “We would like to say thank you. It’s been a long, hard row to plow to get to where we are now. If it wasn’t for Tribal Council being there to back us up the whole way, we wouldn’t be here today.” Tribal Councilman and Vietnam veteran Larry LaPointe could not be there that day, but sent a statement that Sterud read: “Our people, based on our per capita population, were there when these United States of America declared war in all major theaters of conflicts, where… aid was needed by foreign countries to provide the strength to defeat those aggressors. Native indigenous people of this land will forever believe that all these foreign and domestic wars bring unspeakable threats to the land of our ancestors, our elders and children.” Each member of the Tribal Council then said a few words, and each was gifted with a blanket. “I hope that as each of you pass by this wonderful memorial …that you’ll be

t City Hall about their concepts to rehab the 122-year-old building. The details of the proposals submitted to the city are confidential because they involve a real estate transaction, which make them exempt from public record rules. The city’s recommendation to City Manager T. C. Broadnax could prompt more interviews before he then presents an ordinance to the City Council giving him the authority to begin formal negotiations with whichever developer is ultimately selected. “T.C. is very meticulous,” Business Development Manager Elly Walkowiak said. “It is very important that he is comfortable with the recommendation.” The 55,000-square-foot building at the corner of 7th Street and Pacific Avenue spans five stories and includes the iconic clock tower. The property is not only a landmark in the city but sits along the route for light rail service. It is also across the street from the former Elks Lodge, which is being renovated by Portlandbased McMenamins to be a $22 million hotel and entertainment venue as early as 2017. McMenamins is one of the four developers to submit concepts. Old City Hall was designed by E.A. Heatherton of San Francisco after Italian Renaissance town halls and features brickwork and terracotta ornamentation, tall windows, high ceilings, sweeping archways, exposed brick interiors and copper embellishments. The building was originally intended to be the home of the Tacoma Chamber,

reminded of the sacrifice and everything (our veterans) did for us,” said Council Member Tim Reynon. “I hope that you veterans as you pass by will recognize just how grateful we are for you, how much we love you and appreciate all that you’ve done for us. I raise my hands to each one of you and say thank you so much.” Council Member David Bean spoke in loving memory of Puyallup Chairman Herman Dillon Sr., who was also a veteran. “Maybe he’s the one who ordered up this beautiful weather today,” Bean said. “Native Americans served at the highest level of any ethnic group in the military. They fought for future generations so that we could be here today.” He raised his hands to all the staff that worked on the memorial. “This was a very long process that started many years ago. It’s been a long journey and certainly was worth the wait.” Council Member Sylvia Miller said words could never express her appreciation for all veterans. “You’ve given your whole lives,” she told the crowd. “Some say that those who have passed gave their lives so we could be here today – you veterans who are standing here have given your lives too. Your lives will never be the same. I can’t imagine what you had to see, what you had to do, so I just want to say words will never express how much I appreciate what you’ve done for us. I hope that every time everybody comes by here that this will show how much we appreciate what you guys have done for us.” Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove described the memorial as “a sacred circle filled with a lot of blood, sweat and tears that was constructed with love, with gratitude and most of all with honor.” She pointed out the memorial’s welcoming entrance where the first thing that visitors see is a sacred salmon inlaid into the pavement to represent the Puyallup’s fishing heritage. “When you come, we invite you – our veterans invite you – to come within this circle and pray, recognize and most of all honor all of our veterans, all of our ancestors, for the fight that they have gone through to get us to where we are today. Please, whenever you come don’t just pass by – enter and remember those that fight for our freedom, Native and non-Native alike.”

but became City Hall before it was finished. The tower walls tilt inward as they rise to increase the sense of height. The clock and chimes were added in 1904, when Hugh C. Wallace, future U.S. Ambassador to France, donated the clock and chimes in memory of his daughter. The building served as the seat of city government until 1959, when Tacoma officials moved to the current, art deco-styled Tacoma Municipal Building, which had been the Rhodes Medical Arts Tower. The former City Hall went largely vacant until the 1980s, when it was renovated to house retail, office and restaurant spaces.

they can’t do is teach us how to forget. There are times, I know, that you out there, our comrades, have rough times as I did. When we come back from what we’ve been through, we come back physically but spiritually part of us is still over there. We’re not complete. To live in this day as a veteran you have to have your spiritual being back with you from wherever you’ve been.” U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and U.S. Rep. Denny Heck shared their thoughts from the stage. Both were gifted with a blanket and Patty Murray received a big bouquet of flowers. “Every time I come here I always see something new and exciting happening in your community,” Murray said. “Many people may not realize that nationwide, Native Americans have one of the highest representations in the military, so the memorial is well deserved to say the least and it’s wonderful to see one that so beautifully reflects the Tribe’s connection to our natural environment.” Heck praised Patty Murray for her commitment to veterans and their families. “We ought to honor our veterans by living up to the promises we made to them. And let me tell you, in the United States Congress in either political party and either chamber, there is no better champion for veterans in the United States of America than United States Senator Patty Murray. Not a single better champion than Patty Murray anywhere, anytime.” Representatives from the companies that brought the memorial wall ideas to paper then to life were called to the stage to be recognized and also receive blankets: ARC Architects, Korsmo Construction, Nakano Associates Landscape Architects and KPFF Consulting Engineers. And last but certainly not least, Sharp was called forth to receive a hand-painted drum for her hard work in helping to bring the memorial to fruition. “It’s been an honor and privilege working with the veterans,” she said. “Just like any other project, it gives me the opportunity to get to know individuals, all the different departments and committees and I got to know these veterans on an individual basis. Today is one of the days I will never, ever forget. I felt it in my heart and my soul.”

Saturday, Nov. 21 will see the school put on their Winter Faire at 2710 N. Madison St. featuring tons of crafts and vendors, puppet shows and even live violin performances. “It’s something to give back to the community, not just for our internal community as parents but also our local community and alumni. It’s something that’s not as commercial as a lot of events these days,” parent and board member of the school Barbara Weist said. The Faire will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature plenty of food to make anyone feel welcome. “We want to make a nice, warm family environment,” Weist said. Weist credits the dedication of Waldorf parents to the school’s longstanding success, and wants this anniversary to be one of reflection. “This year is our 25th anniversary

A number of honored guests were in the audience for the dedication, including Jim Baumgart, policy advisor on behalf of Gov. Jay Inslee, and Steven J. Gill, tribal liaison and administrator for the Veterans Services Division of the Washington State Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Baumgart read a proclamation from state Gov. Jay Inslee. “So as of this day, Jay Inslee, Governor of the State of Washington, does proclaim today – Nov. 11, 2015 – as Veterans Day in the State of Washington and urges all people to acknowledge and honor the contributions of our veterans and the principles of democracy, individual freedoms and human rights which are so well represented here today in this memorial.” Gill spoke as a veteran himself, which he said had special meaning that day “to say thank you to my brothers, my sisters, all of the veterans that have come before us, that are here today, and that will come next. Thank you – we honor your service to our communities and our nation.” Following these remarks, Sisson took the podium to read the names of Puyallup tribal veterans who are no longer with us (see full list accompanying this article). “Since the blessing and the groundbreaking of this sacred place, a number of warriors have walked on before us,” he said. “Today, as we gather, they walk among us. Their spirits watch over us as we watch over them – to tell their stories, to share their lives, for them to never walk alone and live forever in our memory. For me, today, it is truly an honor and privilege to stand before creator and all of you here. Today, we speak their names and think of them and many others so that they will never be forgotten.” The drum was struck once for each name read. To end the ceremony, six flags were raised on the six flagpoles that are part of the memorial: American flag, Puyallup Tribe of Indians flag, Canadian flag, Washington State flag, Tribal Veterans flag and the POW/MIA flag. After the dedication, everyone was invited to the Emerald Queen Casino for a celebratory lunch. Isadore Tom Jr., also a veteran, blessed the food and offered up songs. “When we get into the military, they teach us how to survive and also how to kill,” he said. “But one thing

in Tacoma,” Weist said. “Twenty-five years is a long time. At the same time, for something so grassroots we have so many roles to fill, and a lot of it falls on parents and volunteers to make it happen. Twenty-five years of that is a great thing. We’re trying to celebrate that this year by inviting alumni back to try and reconnect and celebrate this milestone.” The Waldorf School is based on a teaching philosophy that was popularized in the early 1900’s. The idea is to foster not just students’ academic skills, but also their hearts and minds in the form of social skills. Currently, the school offers pre-K through 4th grade education, but they are hoping to continue expanding as they have done over the past quarter of a century. “Generally it’s an effort to do a whole different way of educating children, reaching their hearts and

minds. Our early childhood classes are reserved for being a kid, nothing academic, a lot of story telling a lot of circle work and skills,” Weist said. The Waldorf School is planning to continue expanding, as it is growing beyond its current home at 2710 N. Madison. When a new location is decided upon, the school could expand as high as an 8th grade education. “Long term were hoping to find a permanent home for our school, somewhere in Pierce County but hopefully in Tacoma,” Weist said. “It’s not an easy feat to find a perfect home for a growing school.” If the Waldorf School sounds like something that your family may be interested in, visit www.tacomawaldorf.org for more information, or visit one of their monthly tours. “We have once a month tour opportunities the first Wednesday of each month,” Weist said. “Parents can see what’s so different about the school from the mainstream.”

t was another banner year for high school football in the City of Destiny. Four teams from within the Tacoma city limits were able to advance through the district playoffs and into their respective state tournaments’ round of 16. Now that all of the teams’ seasons have come to a close, it’s time to take a glance back and unveil our 2015 Tacoma Weekly All-City Football Teams. For much of the season, it seemed as though the Lincoln Abes were living a charmed life on the football field. Despite beginning the 2015 season with a new coach, a new quarterback and a bevy of starter spots that needed to be filled, the Abes just kept on winning. Even a broken collarbone, suffered by junior quarterback Joey Sinclair in the fourth week of the season, was unable to stop the Lincoln machine from chewing through the rest of the 3A Narrows league for their second straight title. After finishing the regular season at 9-0, the Abes hosted Rainier Beach in the district round of the playoffs. It wasn’t the sharpest game by Lincoln, but in the end the Abes would advance to the first round of the 3A state playoffs with a 43-15 victory. The 10-0 Abes would then host Bonney Lake (6-4), and that heartbreaking tale appears on page A14 in this edition of the Tacoma Weekly. Senior running back Dionte Simon would go on to be named the 3A Narrows Offensive Player of the Year. It was a similar tale for the Bellarmine Prep Lions this season. A new coach and several new faces made the new season look like a bit of a question mark for the Lions. When Bellarmine hosted powerhouse Gonzage Prep in the second game of the season and lost

in overtime, it was quickly apparent that this new Lions’ squad was going to be up to the task of keeping the winning tradition rolling for the Lions. Bellarmine would keep the thrill ride going throughout the season with dramatic losses, as well as clutch wins. A 16-13 overtime victory over Olympia on Oct. 23 would send the Lions into a 4A Narrows league championship matchup with rival Gig Harbor the following week. However, the undefeated Tides would prove too much for the Lions on a rain-soaked night. The Lions would have to settle for a second-place seed into the playoffs and hosted Curtis in the first playoff game between the two schools in 48 years. The Lions would come out on top 38-23 over the Vikings and it was time to hit the road the following week for a showdown with Moses Lake. Bellarmine would take a six-point lead into the fourth quarter before giving up the goahead touchdown late. With 30 seconds remaining and trailing 28-27, the Lions attempted a 37-yard field goal to take the lead, but the kick sailed to the left and the season would come to a close with a hard-fought 8-4 record. Senior star linebacker Erik Glueck has recently committed to Washington State University. The Wilson Rams had what seemed to be holes on both sides of the football that were going to need filling when the season kicked off. With some topnotch athletes stepping in to replace several 2014 All-City players, it didn’t look like it was going to be a cake walk for Wilson, and things certainly started that way as the Rams dropped the first three games of the season – including a shocking 30-16 defeat at the hands of the Stadium Tigers. However, it wouldn’t be long before the Rams

StarS returN HOme 4-0 aND face biggeSt teSt yet By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

Around 30 years ago, the rocking sounds of Thin Lizzy’s 1976 hit “The Boys are Back in Town” would welcome the Tacoma Stars back to the Tacoma Dome following a road trip by the team. The fans loved it, some sang along and it seemed like a fitting reminder to the boys that they were back amongst their people. It fired up the crowd and I’m pretty sure that, in turn, it gave a jolt of juice to the team. Whether or not they’ll be playing it Friday night, Nov. 20 when the Stars return home to the ShoWare Center in Kent, the bottom line is that the boys are back and boy are they looking fantastic right now. “Guess who just got back today Them wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed that much to say But man, I still think them cats are crazy.” - Thin Lizzy, “The Boys are Back in Town” Here’s a quick trivia question: When is the last time you’ve heard of a team who hit the road for three games in three nights and returned home with three wins? Okay, it’s not exactly Joe DiMaggio hitting for 56 straight games, but let’s not kid around; for a brand new team, it’s not a bad way to kick off a season. Returning home with an unblemished 4-0 record to open their first full Major Arena Soccer League season, the Tacoma Stars are quickly putting the rest of the league on notice that their opponents won’t be facing some pushover, expansion team. Instead, the Stars are rolling out an increasingly high-octane offense, coupled with a staunch defense that is giving up just 2.67 goals per game. That’s not many goals in this high-intensity, high-scoring game of indoor soccer. Now the true test arrives as the Stars host Soles de Sonora from Hermasillo, Mexico in what promises to be an exciting matchup between two of the MASL’s new, electrifying teams. Sonora currently sits at 2-1 with a 7-5 loss on the road to the San Diego Sockers, followed up by a rematch on Sonora’s turf where the home side broke open the game late and delivered a surprising 15-8 beating of the Sockers on Nov. 7. A week later Sonora hosted a very talented Ontario Fury and clocked a 16-10 victory. That is correct. Sonora is averaging a whopping 12 goals per game. They’re also giving up 8.3 goals per game. If recent events play out, this should be a barnburner of a match for early supremacy of the MASL Pacific Division. Sonora has opened their season with nothing but division contests, while Tacoma will make their first foray into division play. After an incredible 5-1 season opener at the ShoWare Center against the Sacramento Surge in front of 3,710 fans, the Stars hit the road for the unenviable task of three games in three days in California. They opened up against the Turlock Express, the only team that the quickly thrown-together Stars were victorious over in their brief seven games to close out the 2014-15 season. It wouldn’t be pretty for the hometown side in Turlock. The Stars rang up a 7-2 road win over Turlock that included two goals by Wilson High School Hall of Famer Joey Gjertsen and goals apiece by Dan Antoniuk, Adam West, Derek Johnson, Duncan McCormick and Cory Keitz. Former Bellarmine Lion and University of Washington Husky alum Danny Waltman recorded 30 saves against 32 Turlock shots on goal. The next night the Stars hit Sacramento for a rematch against the Surge on their own turf. Tacoma delivered a 9-5 victory powered by a hat trick by Franklin Pierce and Pacific Lutheran Alum Derek Johnson. Antoniuk and Stadium High School Alum u See STARS / page A15

TACOMA STARS RESERVES PREPARE TO DEFEND THEIR WISL CHAMPIONSHIP The Tacoma Stars Reserves are getting ready to defend their 2104-15 Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL) Championship. The Reserves will open their season Saturday Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Everett Soccer Arena against Sporting Everett FC. The team will have a new head coach in Washington Huskies football legend Joe Jarzynka and a continued focus on building talent for the professional Tacoma Stars of the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL). “The Stars Reserves have been working hard – everyone trying to earn a spot on the MASL roster,” Joe Jarzynka said. “While there is lots of talent in this club, not many have spent significant time on the indoor pitch, so every training is important. We have lots of new faces – many of our best players from last year are now on the Pro roster so we’ve had to backfill with young talent that is hungry, but still learning.” The Stars Reserves took part in the Northwest Indoor Invitational in Bellingham on Oct. 31, losing in the final to the Olympic Force. “In Bellingham, we learned we still have a ways to go to grasp some of the basic fundamentals of the indoor game and come together as a team… we also learned that we’re going to get every clubs best effort and can’t afford to slip if we want to remain undefeated,” Jarzynka said. Jarzynka understands that repeating is made all the more challenging by holding the title. “We will certainly get every other teams’ best effort, which we embrace… the fact that many young players are still learning the indoor game, and having an ever-changing roster may pose a bit of a challenge in the beginning.” Fans coming to the Tacoma Soccer Center for Stars Reserves matches should see the same sizzle they saw last season. “We work every training session to balance a blue collar work effort with lightning fast offensive threats,” noted Jarzynka. “While we teach a simple, possession game, we have exceptional talent that could light up the arena at any time. With every player trying to prove his value to the top roster, our Reserves are hungry for touches in game situations.” The MASL Tacoma Stars are off to a 4-0 start and drew 3,710 fans to their home opener back on Nov. 6. The Stars Reserves open their home WISL schedule on Saturday, Dec. 5 against the club they defeated for the WISL title, Bellingham United. Jarzynka looks at the Pro Stars and the Stars Reserves as a single entity with shared goals. “We are united as a club – everybody working towards the same goal, and that is to win games for the Tacoma Stars. The competition is fierce to make that top 15 Pro roster… there are many players that are right on the bubble, and could hop around from one roster to the other from week to week. While the talent and desire are there, the challenge is creating chemistry with a group that will most likely look different each week.” – by David Falk, GoalWa.Net.

2015. He also finished with a team-best six tackles-for-loss to total 27 yards and added three broken up passes and one forced fumble. He was the Lutes' top returning tackler heading into the season, and picked up where he left off in 2015. Houser also finished his collegiate career with a strong senior campaign, as he tallied five tackles-for-loss totaling 26 yards and had two sacks out of his 20 tackles in 2015. Houser and Bennett helped lead a Lute defense that ranked third in the Northwest Conference in points allowed (207 total, 23.0 per game) and second in yards allowed (332.3 per game). PLU limited several prolific offenses to numbers far below their season averages. The Lutes held the top three offenses in the NWC – Linfield, Whitworth and Puget Sound – to nearly 150 yards fewer than their season averages in other games. Meanwhile, PLU held six of its seven NWC opponents to fewer points than their season averages in 2015. Striplin earned honorable mention recognition after stepping into the starting lineup as a sophomore and playing at several different spots before settling in at center for the Lutes. The PLU offense saw three different starting quarterbacks in 2015 due to injuries, and the Lutes finished the season averaging 321.8 yards per game. Linfield junior quarterback Sam Riddle was named NWC Offensive Player of the Year, while Wildcat senior defensive lineman Alex Hoff was named Defensive Player of the Year. Linfield's Joseph Smith received Coach of the Year honors after leading the Wildcats to their seventh consecutive NWC championship. PLU wrapped up the 2015 season Saturday, Nov. 14 with a 2-7 overall record and a 2-5 Northwest Conference mark. The Lutes will open the 2016 season at home against California Lutheran on Sept. 10, 2016. THE DREADED PENALTY SHOOTOUT BOUNCES UPS LOGGER WOMEN FROM NCAA’S The University of Puget Sound women's soccer team fell 5-3 in penalty kicks to Wartburg after 120 scoreless minutes on Sunday, Nov. 15 in the NCAA Div. III national tournament second round. Although the Loggers (17-0-5) had more chances in the first half, the two teams entered the half scoreless. Puget Sound and the Knights (15-4-3) each had several good chances in the second half, but the keepers for both teams kept the game scoreless. The Loggers had the better of the play in the two overtime periods, spending the majority of the 20 minutes in the attacking third, but they were unable to find the back of the net. The team outshot Wartburg 4-0 in overtime. Puget Sound's best chance in the extra time came off a Grayson Williams-Krebs shot, which glanced off the crossbar, before Emmy Owens' rebounded shot sailed just over the goal. Wartburg shot first in the shootout. Both Brittany Frush and Amalia Acorda-Fey converted their first shots. In the second round, Morgan Neuendorf scored before Knight keeper, Beth Crow, saved Liz Blonden's shot. Both teams scored in the third and fourth rounds before Liz Trizzino converted her shot to win the shootout 5-3 and end the Loggers season. Puget Sound outshot Wartburg 25-6. The Loggers also took more corner kicks than the Knights (10-3). Amalia Acorda-Fey led the team with five shots, while goalkeeper Lauren Thomas (17-0-5) made four saves. The Loggers finished the 2015 season with a 17-0-5 record in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament after winning their 14th-consecutive Northwest Conference title. The team allowed only three goals during the year and earned Northwest Conference Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Coach of the Year, as well as seven All-NWC honors. PLU FROSH SWIMMER PADDLES OFF WITH NWC ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONORS Pacific Lutheran freshman Alex Weeks set a PLU Pool record in her first collegiate home meet and her performance over the Nov. 14 weekend earned Northwest Conference Women's Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week honors. Weeks' 50 freestyle time of 24.4 on Friday not only won the event by 1.21 seconds but also set a facility record for the event. For the weekend she won five of her six events as the PLU women's swimming team defeated Linfield and Willamette in the only home dual meets of the 2015-16 season. The victories improved the PLU women's team's dual record to 4-0 and helped the Lutes climb to 14th in the latest collegeswimming.com rankings. Weeks also won the 100 freestyle (53.89) and the 400 freestyle relay (3:39.8) on Friday. She followed that up with first-place finishes in the 50 freestyle (24.85) and 200 freestyle relay (1:41.3) on Saturday, along with a fourthplace finish in the 100 butterfly (1:09.93). Weeks and the Lutes wrap up the first half of the 2015-16 schedule this weekend, as they travel to Salem (OR), for the Northwest Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

THREE LUTES EARN ALL-NORTHWEST CONFERENCE FOOTBALL HONORS Three Pacific Lutheran football players earned recognition as the Northwest Conference announced its postseason football honors on Nov. 16. Senior linebacker Kyle Bennett was named to the second-team defense, while senior defensive lineman Chase Houser and sophomore offensive lineman Austin Striplin each received honorable mention. Bennett capped his Pacific Lutheran career with secondteam recognition after leading the Lutes with 54 tackles in

UPS FOOTBALL FINISHES STRONG AS LOGGERS EARN MOST NWC WINS IN SCHOOL HISTORY The Puget Sound football team marched off of Peyton Field at Baker Stadium with the most Northwest Conference wins in program history on Nov. 14. The Loggers beat Pacific, 38-20, in the 2015 season finale on Saturday. Puget Sound finishes the year with a 6-3 overall record, and its 5-2 conference mark is good for third place NWC. Hans Fortune broke two single-season Puget Sound records during the win. The junior quarterback finished the season with 2,878 passing yards and 2,833 total yards, both of which surpass the previous records held by Duncan White (2010). Fortune threw for 410 yards and five touchdowns against the Boxers (6-4, 4-3 NWC). Brennan Schon totaled a career-best 253 receiving yards on six catches and two touchdowns during the win over Pacific. The junior finished 19 yards shy of Adam Kniffin's single game Puget Sound record. Peter Bell caught a career-high 13 passes for 74 yards and two touchdowns. Ian Borngrebe also got in the end zone for his second touchdown of 2015. Chris Beaulaurier recorded 14 tackles against the Boxers as he rounds out the year with 94 tackles. Both William Geary and Zackary Teats came away with interceptions. The Boxers jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first six minutes of the game, but the Loggers remained poised. Fortune hit Schon for a 59-yard touchdown pass to put Puget Sound on the board. The Loggers tied the game early in the second quarter thanks to Bell's 14-yard touchdown grab. Pacific regained the lead, 20-14 (missed PAT), with a 32-yard touchdown pass by Warner Shaw, but the Loggers responded just one minute later. Fortune connected with Schon for a 67-yard touchdown strike that gave Puget Sound a 21-20 edge entering halftime. Sawyer Petre connected on a 36-yard field goal late in the third quarter, and Borngrebe caught his touchdown pass just three-and-a-half minutes later. Bell hauled in a five-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter. Puget Sound honored its 24 senior members playing in their final game for the Loggers, along with their family and friends, with a pregame ceremony.

By Randy Rutledge Tacoma Weekly Correspondent

Although the weather would play a crucial role in Friday night's second round playoff game between the Bonney Lake Panthers and the Lincoln Abes at Tacoma's historic Lincoln Bowl, it wouldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the home crowd - a fan base that has recently become accustomed to playoff football after a long postseason drought. The undefeated Abes would draw first blood, marching downfield behind sophomore quarterback Willie Hamilton, who accounted for 63 of the drive's 80 yards, capped by a six-yard touchdown pass to Tristian "Crazy Legs" Kwon in the flat. Bonney Lake answered quickly with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Dane Wagner to Patrick Oxile. The ensuing Lincoln possession began with a roar of the crowd as junior quarterback Joey Sinclair, after sitting out the first drive, took the reins of the Lincoln offense for the first time since exiting in week four against Shelton with a broken collarbone. Sinclair displayed impressive mobility on his first

drive, leading Lincoln on a 74-yard touchdown drive culminating in a 19-yard scoring strike to senior receiver Tony Archie. The drive was made bittersweet by the loss of star running back Dionte Simon (who received only three touches) to a shoulder injury, leaving the Abe running game in the capable hands of Kwon, who rushed for 141 yards and scored two touchdowns. The Panthers would begin their next possession from their own 41 yard line, and after eight plays (all of which were inside runs by senior Ethen Koepke) they had tied the game at 14, serving notice that they would be up to the task, unlike third-ranked Lincoln’s previous opponents, whom they had defeated by an average margin of 35.2 points. The teams stalled drives until, with 39 seconds remaining in the half, Lincoln’s Archie made a spectacular catch over two defenders on a jump ball from Sinclair and sprinted into the end zone for a 55-yard Abe score. Bonney Lake would begin the second half with a game tying 63-yard touchdown drive, highlighted by a 45-yard pass from Wagner to Oxile, and culminating in a oneyard touchdown run by Koepke.

After several defensive stands by both teams, led by Lincoln’s Jeffrey Williams, Xavier Baines and Mushawn Knowles, as well as Bonney Lake’s Joseph O’Reilly, Kwon would punch in a five-yard touchdown to give Lincoln a 28-21 lead with nine minutes remaining in the game. Following a Bonney Lake punt, Lincoln got the ball back at the Abe 22 yard line. With six minutes left in the game, Sinclair’s second down pass attempt was intercepted at the Lincoln 36 yard line for the first turnover of the game, setting Bonney Lake up for what would prove to be the most crucial drive of the contest. With another healthy dose of Koepke straight up the middle, the Panthers were able to close the gap to 27-28 with the point-after attempt still to come with 1:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. With a chance to tie the game, Bonney Lake head coach Jason Silbaugh instead opted to roll the dice on a two point conversion attempt. After calling a timeout, Silbaugh elected to send in the “Swinging Gate� formation (in which the offense lines up in three distinct clusters in the left, middle and right portions of the field, testing the defense’s

ability to correctly match numbers with the offense) for the two-point conversion attempt. Receiving the direct snap, junior Jason Day bounced the run to the outside and was able to fight his way into the end zone to give the Panthers a 29-28 lead with less than two minutes to play. In a gutsy final drive, the Abes were able to get the ball to the Bonney Lake 25-yard line. While Sinclair had been able to escape pressure from the Bonney Lake front seven for much of the game, he was not able to escape the clutches of O’Reilly on third down, going down for a 14-yard sack, pushing Lincoln back to the 38 yard line. Out of timeouts, Lincoln was barely able to get a snap off on fourth down before the scoreboard clock reached zero. Moving around the pocket, Sinclair let loose with a Hail Mary as time expired, which was intercepted by Bonney Lake’s Oxile, who returned it for an 89-yard touchdown, giving the battle tested Panthers a stunning 35-28 victory.

Jamael Cox each added two goals apiece. Sunday came around and it was time for the trifecta for Tacoma’s weekend. Goals by Johnson, Michael Ramos and Trevor Jensen saw the Stars leading 3-0 early in the third quarter. Sacramento would then score two goals within 19 seconds and the road sweep began to be in doubt. Within two minutes of the fourth quarter the Surge had tied the score at 3-3 and things were getting dicey for the road crew. With less than four minutes to play in the match, Cox would connect with defender Cory Keitz for a netter and the Stars would hang on until time expired with a much-deserved 4-3 win and a three game road sweep. Waltman would play the full 60 minutes in all three games on the short fields of Turlock and Sacramento, and sits with a very impressive 2.67 goals against average after four games. Now the true test awaits the Stars. Everything gets a little different when you play against a divisional opponent, and expect the Soles de Sonora to do everything they can to pepper the Tacoma defense and Waltman in the goal. This is the type of matchup that used to draw plenty of fans to the Tacoma Dome. While it may be 30 minutes up the road from Tacoma, the ShoWare Center offers up the sweetest views for an indoor soccer game that this area has ever known. Everyone knows that 20,000+ at the Tacoma Dome for the Stars was pretty awesome, but let’s get real for a moment, it only happened a couple of times. I was there for both of them. However, the fact that the mid-80’s Tacoma Stars outdrew the Seattle Supersonics in the same year should be noted for its awesomeness. What should also be noted is that maybe you should think about coming out and supporting your local boys. Seven players from the Stars hail from Tacoma, and 17 were born in the State of Washington. Find that homegrown figure from any other MASL team. Go ahead. The Tacoma Stars (4-0) host Soles de Sonora (2-1) on Friday, Nov. 20 at the ShoWare Center in Kent. First kick is at 7:35 p.m. Parking is free at the ShoWare. For tickets, visit TacomaStars.com or call (844) STARS TIME for more information.

righted things and started playing Wilson football. After dropping three games to start, the Rams would go on a four game winning streak leading into their game with Lincoln. The 3A Narrows title was still up for grabs, and for the first half, the Rams gave the Abes everything they could handle, taking a 10-6 lead into the locker room. Lincoln would come back to win, but the wind had not been taken out of the Rams as they hosted Central Kitsap the following week with the winner grabbing second place in the league standings. Wilson would hold off two late scoring threats by the Cougars to snare a 16-9 victory. Wilson host Lake Washington in the district playoffs and faced a 12-0 deficit at halftime. The Rams clawed back into the game, capped by a scoring strike from Alex Motonaga to 3A Narrows MVP AJ Ruffin with just a few seconds left on the clock, to send the game into overtime. In the second overtime, Alek Greenleaf punched a field goal through the uprights and punched the Rams into the 3A state tournament. Wilson (6-5) would travel to face Kennewick the following week where their season would finally end with a hard-fought 20-13 loss. The Stadium Tigers secured their most wins since 2011 with a 3-8 finish this season. Head coach Thomas Ford looks like he has his program pointed in the right direction. The highlights of the season were victories over crosstown rival Wilson, as well as a thrilling 40-37 win at Yelm. Their 48-40 win over South Kitsap on Oct. 23 was the first win for the Tigers over the Wolves since the 1970’s and will be remembered for quite some time. The Mount Tahoma T-Birds and Foss Falcons again found themselves grinding through difficult seasons. A 14-0 victory by the T-Birds over the Falcons would mark the only season win by the two teams.

Action Friends Memories Autographs Cheering Family Summer Hot Dogs History Home Runs

When you visit Cheney Stadium, be sure to bring your smile. You’ll need it when you grab autographs from top-ranked prospects and share popcorn with friends in seats close to the action. You’ll wear it proudly while watching the innings of excitement linked with dances on dugouts and stretches in the seventh.

Chief Leschi had a positive outlook, with a successful, veteran coach in the fold, the addition of head coach Mark Smith was not going to be able to overcome the sheer numbers of inexperienced players for the Warriors. With a year under his belt, look for a serious improvement next season from Chief Leschi. Now let’s take a look at our All-city team selection process. Most all-star teams have first, second and honorable-mention selections. We do it differently here at your Tacoma Weekly. We’ve found that there are usually too many players named to a second team that have every right to be a first-team selection. However, there are really only so many slots available to fill. We feel that our process is much better and altogether a bit fairer. The Tacoma Weekly puts our entire first, second and select honorable mentions into a draft pool and then we select one player, back and forth, for each All-City team. Two teams of all-stars made up of the best players the city of Tacoma had to offer this season. We’ve even decided to continue with the catchy names to go along with Tacoma’s local flavor. Now, if we could just see these two teams take the field against each other.

bright side, the Falcons ended the season looking stronger averaging nearly 24 points a game. Look for an upswing for both programs next season as their coaching staffs continue to create a positive, winning atmosphere where victories are sure to follow. On the small school side, the Life Christian Eagles picked up where they left off last season and put together another impressive campaign. Head coach Jess Nelson had a few 2014 All-City team selections returning for the new season and they hit the ground running. Despite dropping a nail-biter 26-25 loss at powerhouse Raymond to open the season, the Eagles would then rattle off five straight wins on their way to becoming one of the highest scoring teams in Class 2B. A share of the 2B Pacific league title was still on the line when the Eagles met thirdranked North Beach on Oct. 24 and Life Christian would hold a lead into the third quarter. However, the Hyaks broke open the game in the fourth quarter and the Eagles would have to settle for a third place finish in league, which included hosting a district playoff game against Onalaska where the Eagles showed no mercy in a 48-12 romp into a spot in the 2B state tournament. As luck would have it, the Eagles would then be paired with Pe Ell/Willapa Valley, the top-ranked team in the state. Despite a solid outlook on the game, the Eagles had no answer against the juggernaut from the south and fell 61-21, ending their season at 6-3. Tacoma Baptist bounced back from a winless 2014 and put together a couple of impressive wins over Ocosta (54-18) and Chief Leschi (56-14). An improved turnout made a big difference for the Crusaders and bodes well the future of TBS football. While

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

State, local and Puyallup tribal officials held a groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 18, 2015 for the next Interstate 5 project in Tacoma that will create a new bridge over the Puyallup River and reconstruct the I-5/State Route-167 interchange, commuter lanes and increase access to tribal properties. Pictured here are (left to right): Puyallup tribal member David Duenas; State Representative Hans Zeiger (R-25); Tacoma Deputy Mayor David Boe; Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud; State Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson; Hamilton Construction President Scott Williams; WSDOT Olympic Region Administrator Kevin Dayton; and Kierra Phifer with U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s office.

Considered among the most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has grown to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care

of not only its own membership but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,200 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities — approximately 70 percent

of whom are non-Native — employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2013, the Tribe spent more than $461 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. From sponsoring countless local

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

SUPPORT FOR OUR NATIVE COMMUNITY

As a method of preventing substance abuse, the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority organized a drum-making gathering outside the Tribal Youth and Community Center. The drum is a sacred instrument that brings people together and offers a connection spiritually, and a connection with Native culture and identity. “Drum Assisted Therapy” research has shown that drumming improves mental health and spirituality and is beneficial in treating substance abuse disorders. The drum symbolizes the heartbeat of the Mother, and the songs that are sung with drumming are sacred and relate to Native American ancestry, stories and traditions. Even the drum itself offers a connection to the spirit of the animal and the cedar used to create the drum.

To the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the word “community” means more than its own membership circle. With more than 4,800 Puyallup tribal members locally and across the country, and an Indian population of over 24,000 in the tri-county area, the Puyallup Tribe takes great pride in continuing its ancestral ways by caring for Native American people across the board. HEALTHCARE Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) has seen many accomplishments this past year. Below are just a few of the top news stories of 2015. New Construction/Remodel. It was a year of major renovation as PTHA added a two-story, 10,000-square-foot wing to the Takopid building and remodeled existing departments. Community Health moved into its new space both upstairs and down. Pediatrics added six additional exam rooms. Referral Services, Patient Benefits, Patient Accounts, Security and Member Services all moved into their new spaces. And Medical saw a huge improvement with expanded exam room space. Self-rooming. An exciting change at PTHA was the start of self-rooming, where patients now checkin and receive instructions on locating their specific exam room. This process eliminates waiting room time, provides easier access to services and better care as the health services come to the patients. Pharmacy. PTHA has been working over the past few years on improvements in pharmacy workflow. Wait time is now averaging less than two and a half

minutes for medication pick up. Medical School Residency Program. This program has first, second, and third-year medical school student residents. The residency has allowed PTHA to expand capacity, offering primary care physicians to many patients that were previously urgent care only. The addition of Osteopathic manipulation has been a huge success. The residency has allowed growth in the capacity for obstetrical (OB) care at PTHA. In the past year, PTHA has not referred out one OB patient due to capacity issues. Events. Puyallup tribal members enjoyed days dedicated specifically for them during School Days, Healthy Ways and the four Honoring Our Elders days throughout the year. Mental Health Month was celebrated in May at Cheney Stadium as the Puyallup Tribe community enjoyed a Tacoma Rainiers game and participated in a Guinness Book of World Records attempt to bring awareness to mental health. Treatment Center alumni celebrated recovery during the annual Alumni Picnic at Chief Leschi School. ELDERS Elder care is a top priority for the Tribe, with nearly $5.2 million spent last year on elder care services. The Tribe’s beautiful House of Respect Elders Center – a $13 million facility opened in 2009 – stands as testament to the Puyallups’ deeply held reverence for their elder membership. The center, located on a historically significant site above the Puyallup River, offers a variety of health and recreational options for Puyallup elders over 45 years old.

YOUTH The Tribe works to proactively instill positive values in its young members as early as possible through several important means: s Puyallup Tribal Community Center – This 34,000square-foot-facility includes a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility also accommodates gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals and cultural activities. The Tribe partners with Junior Achievement to offer financial education to the youth which is now held at the Tribal Community Center for two weeks during the summer. s Chief Leschi Schools – Providing a Nativefocused academic environment for children in prekindergarten through high school, Chief Leschi Schools serves Native American students from more than 60 different tribes with current enrollment of approximately 1,030 students. As one of the largest Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools constructed in the nation, the 200,000square-foot school is intended to be a model for Native American programs around the country. s Grandview Early Learning Center – During 2014, Grandview Early Learning Center served 137 families and 243 children, providing quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community. Education opportunities within the Tribe don’t stop there. For its members seeking higher education after high school, or their general equivalency degree (GED), the Puyallup Tribe ensures that funding is available for tuition assistance, books, tutoring and more. HOUSING The Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority (PNHA) strive to provide safe, sanitary, and comfortable homes for Puyallup tribal members, their families, and other Native Americans living in the Puyallup Nation’s service area. During 2014, the Puyallup Tribe spent over $3 million providing housing assistance to more than 150 households. The recently completed Longhouse project in Tacoma added a total of 20 new tribally owned and operated units and have operated at full occupancy from their completion. During 2014, the Housing Authority served 147 individuals. After a couple of years, during which there was a freeze on Section-8 vouchers, the Housing Authority began issuing vouchers again in 2014 and has the funding in place to issue and sustain 40 households. The Puyallup Nation Housing Authority has a total of 37 single-family homes that are being purchased or rented; 70 apartment units; and eight duplex units. All units are kept fully occupied and few vacancies occurred during 2014.

DAN MCKOWN, ONE DECADE LATER

U

niversity Place comedian Dan McKown seems determined to test an old adage, that “humor is tragedy plus time.” His especially challenging source material: The day a deranged gunman shot him five times, leaving him bleeding and on the brink of death at Tacoma Mall. McKown has been confined to a wheelchair since the day he confronted 20-year-old Dominick Maldonado who – on Nov. 20, 2005 – went on a shooting rampage that injured six mall-goers. Last week, McKown put the finishing touches on a synopsis of that life-changing day that will be included in the program for Still Standing, a pair of comedy benefit shows for the Washington Coalition of Crime Victim Advocates that will be held on Nov. 20 at Tacoma’s Rialto Theater. “I don’t know if I’ll finish the book,” McKown said. “But the first two chapters are about me being shot, so the challenge was to make that funny. With everything else I do, comedy writer is one of the more central things. So when you say, ‘Can you make this funny?’ that’s a challenge.” Among those also performing on Friday will be Ty Barnett, a Tacoma-bred comedian known for appearances on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “Comedy Central Presents” and “Last Comic Standing,” among others. “The first thing I thought, honestly, was if there’s anybody that’s gonna try and do something it’s Dan,” said Barnett, recalling h is reaction a decade ago. “I just knew there was a shooting, I knew that he worked at the mall, and we’d had conversations before about his mentality about looking out for other people before he

thinks about himself. So the first thing I thought was, ‘I bet he tried to do something.’ “Then when I found out he got shot, I was like, ‘Oh, wow!’ I thought it was too bad it happened to such a genuinely good person.” McKown’s written account begins with the chilling 9-1-1 call that Maldonado made before opening fire at Tacoma Mall in 2005. The gunman told police he was armed with an assault rifle and semi-automatic pistol, and that they need only “follow the screams” to find him. McKown was working as assistant manager of Excalibur Cutlery & Gifts. He also had a concealed carry permit for the 9mm EAA Witness handgun he said he drew upon hearing shots fired. “There’s a moment where I’m in the doorway of the store, and I’m yelling, ‘Where’s the shooter? Where’s the shooter?’” he recalled. “People are just running by.” During a brief pause in the commotion, McKown briefly wondered if the gunman had already been subdued or if police might mistake him for a second shooter. He tucked his pistol under his sport coat, a decision he said he regrets to this day. “That’s when he walked in front of me,” he said, recalling his attacker’s blank expression and the nonchalant way he carried his rifle – down at his side, like a briefcase. McKown’s own hand was still on his pistol’s grip, and he thought he had the drop on the shooter. “What I didn’t know – one of my gun expert friends told me later – he’d filed down the firing pin so he could tap it against his body and fire automatic bursts. … Which is why he hit me so low, because the gun is waist level.” In the time it took McKown to demand Maldonado drop his weapon, his attacker fired several rounds, one of which struck him in the spine. However, the encounter seemed to unnerve the shooter who retreated into

a nearby Sam Goody’s where he held hostages before surrendering four hours later. He received a 163-year sentence in 2007. McCown said he owed his life to Staff Sgt. Moises Martinez, a soldier who took care of him until he could be evacuated from the mall. “If I he hadn’t done what he did, I’d be dead,” he said. “I was bleeding internally for an hour and a half. He made tourniquets. He took my belt and made one of ‘em - cut up my sport coat, cut up my shirt. I think he didn’t like how I was dressed and made a bunch of tourniquets, tied up everywhere to limit how fast my blood was circulating. "My friend, Crystal, is trying to keep me awake. No one would let me take a nap. I just wanted to go to sleep and die.” McKown has had a number of health issue since the shooting. At his worst, he said he experiences excruciating neuropathic and phantom pain that he says is like stepping on a rusty nail. But he insisted there is only one thing he would do differently if given a second chance. “I wouldn’t have put my gun away. That would have been the only thing I’d have done differently,” he said. “Whenever things get really bad, I try to remind myself (the shooter had) 600 rounds of unspent ammunition. “I figure that he shot seven people, and he probably discharged somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 to 100 rounds to do that. So how many more people would he have shot, even if he didn’t kill anybody? I was the last person shot. So that’s what I cling to.” Also among performers Friday are Shawn Lawrence, Rick Anderson, Kris “Sonic Guy” Brannon and a special celebrity guest. The comedians will work clean during the 7 p.m. early show, saving their bluer material for the 9 p.m. set. Tickets are $15 to $30. For further details, visit www. broadwaycenter.org.

A GUIDE TO TACOMA ART AND CULTURE

Theaters of the Week: Paradise Theatre Burnham 9911 Dr. NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98332

By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

In Tacoma, there is ample opportunity for young musicians and young actors to learn and practice their craft. Organizations like Tacoma Youth Symphony, Tacoma Youth Chorus and a number of youth theatrical groups provide venues for kids to sharpen their skills and become accustomed to performance. Outside of school-based art programs, however, there is not a lot of opportunity for would-be painters to show their work in public. A new art gallery called “Young at Art� is trying to address this situation by providing a venue for young artists to show and sell their work. The brainchild of Kim Tosch, Young at Art Gallery is designed to exhibit the work of visual artists under age 18. On Nov. 12, the gallery hosted its first opening reception for 10 young artists ranging in age from one to 12. Each artist contributed several works of art, each one neatly framed, titled and presented. The art is sold silent auction style with a starting bid amount listed on the title card. Interested parties may then up the bid from there. “The gallery was full and the feedback from everyone who attended was incredible,� said Tosch of the opening night. “There were smiles everywhere. Attendees engaged with the artists and the artists were simply charming.� The artists for the first show were selected from among kids that responded to flyers that Tosch distributed around town. Some flyers were also placed in area schools. The first batch is a talented lot. As one might

It is a great red smudge of thick paint fitted with a dainty beak and wings and set off against a murky blue background. Nora Tosch-Berneburg’s (11) “An Unusual Day� also features a bird, this one big, funky and purple. Anna Wilson (9) is interested in colorful visual patterns with works like “Diamonds.� Even “Cool Treats,� a picture of popsicles and ice cream cones, features the

objects on a grid as part of an overall design. Vivian McMeekin, who lives near Mt. Rainier and has taken art courses at Fred Oldfield Western Heritage Center, does some wonderful landscapes and still lifes. Madeleine McKeown’s (12) trees are quite lovely. Her “Owl in the Night� is a favorite (I like owls). Tre Whalen (12) touches on patriotic themes in “America,� a composition of American flags and fireworks. Young at Art Gallery allows young artists to become conversant with a variety of media of the visual arts and with all the aspects of the art gallery experience. The encouragement provided by the endeavor should help boost a continued involvement with art so that the participants will progress to ever greater self-expression as their minds continue to mature and develop. Gallery proprietor Kim Tosch plans to have future, themed shows at the gallery. For information on how young artists might participate visit www.youngatartgallery.com.

SEATTLE RADIO STATION POISED TO GOBBLE UP TACOMA RIVAL On Nov. 12, Seattle’s KUOW-FM (94.9) announced plans to purchase the broadcast license of fellow National Public Radio Affiliate KPLUFM (88.5), which is now owned by Pacific Lutheran University. Both stations currently feature NPR programming, but a Q & A page on KUOW-FM’s web site (www.kuow.org) outlined plans to rename KPLU and switch to an all-jazz format. “There will be two stations: one for National Public Radio and Northwest news (94.9 FM) and one dedicated to jazz music (88.5 FM),� the announcement read. Terms of the sale have not yet been finalized, but the sale is expected to go forward in 2016 pending approval from the Federal Communications Commission. – Ernest A. Jasmin, Tacoma Weekly

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: BOOOOOO!!!! BIEBER’S BACK

That Justin Bieber kid has a penchant for annoying the bejeezus out of anyone who is not a suburban, teenage girl. Case in point: That time, in 2012, when he sullied Tacoma’s reputation tweeting that one of our fine citizens had swiped his laptop from backstage at the Tacoma Dome. The claim turned out to be a corny publicity stunt for his “Beauty and the Beatâ€? video, and proud Tacomans were up in arms. Last week, the Biebster announced that his Purpose World Tour will kick off in the Northwest next year, not in Tacoma, but at Seattle’s KeyArena on March 9. Coincidence? Probably, but we choose to believe we ran that little chump off. Local hormone-addled preteens are probably more forgiving and will have their browsers ready when tickets go on sale at 10 a.m., on Friday, Nov. 20. Most are going for $122.

ENCORE REOPENS AS EMBLEM

HOT SPOT. The crowd earlier this month at Emblem. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Encore is open under a new name. Shuttered since July, the downtown dance club – located at 1025 Pacific Ave. – has gotten a makeover and reopened as Emblem this month. Earlier this week, we caught up with co-owner Jon Tartaglia to learn more about his club's latest incarnation. TACOMA WEEKLY: Why don’t you freshen my memory about what unfolded last summer? TARTAGLIA: July 3 was our last day as Encore. Due to the nature of my agreement, I’m not supposed to be talking about details or what transpired with that, but we chose to re-brand, and we thought it was a good time. We’d been at Encore for five years – just under five years, actually. So we thought it was a good opportunity if we’re gonna re-brand to also renovate the club and strengthen some of our strengths even more and certainly strengthen some of our weaknesses as a club. That’s kind of what we set out to do and built the new brand. Emblem is what we decided on. With Encore, it was very VIP dominant. The only places to sit were VIP spaces where we were doing bottle service, and you paid for space. So we have quite a bit more seating – about 75 new seats that are not VIP seating. We added booth seating and high-top table seating. It’s all first come, first served. TW: So you’ve kind of gone away from the whole bottle service – what you used to call it – “the ultralounge� thing. TARTAGLIA: We defi-

nitely still cater to that, but it was a conscious effort to not make that the primary focus. We wanted now the primary focus of the lounge and the nightclub to be more towards the average guest coming in that wants to come in and dance or come in and drink and have a good time. TW: Who would you say is your main demographic over there, and is it changing with the makeover? TARTAGLIA: Our average age at Encore was probably more like 26 to 35, and that’s pretty old for the nightclub business. But those are also the people who tend to want VIP a little bit more. They probably embrace the dress code that we had. We had a real strict dress code. But to make the nightclub business work, you need to kind of have to have a little bit more of a broader range; 21 to 35 is what you shoot for. That was one of our goals, to get a little bit younger but still maintain it as a place (that) still has a classy, upscale vibe. TW: How do you think you’ve managed to push for that younger demographic? TARTAGLIA: Definitely the free seating, making the dance floor bigger, which is what we did by removing some of the VIP on the dance floor. You look at some of the bigger clubs in Seattle and the bigger metropolitan markets and that’s what you’re seeing. You’re seeing larger dance floors, larger DJ booths, which is what we’ve built. We’ve added quite a bit more visual impact to the club.

We added a huge video wall. We added more dance floor lighting. That all goes with getting a little bit younger. TW: Do you still have a dress code over there? TARTAGLIA: We have a dress code but not quite as strict. As long as you’re dressed up in a way that’s appropriate for nightlife, then you’re in. We certainly don’t want you walking in here in a hat and a jersey. That’s just not the kind of place it is, but we want you to feel comfortable. TW: What about the format? I guess Encore always had the mixture of the EDM and pop. TARTAGLIA: So the format is not drastically different than it was. We’re still playing a steady diet of all those genres of music, but our emphasis was to bring in some bigger DJs – some national touring acts, some bigger Seattle DJs – and some people we knew could throw a good party. So the tempo is definitely more of a high-energy set, but it’s still a commercial music format.

WITCHY WOMAN HOROSCOPES Christina Wheeler has been studying astrology for the past 22 years. She writes, creates, laughs too loud, and owns a store called The Nearsighted Narwhal in Tacoma, WA. If you ever want to chew the fat about astrology, contact her at tinathehyena@gmail.com. ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Be careful not to stir the pot just to keep things exciting this week. You may be impatient about getting what you want and need emotionally, and once those needs are expressed, you expect others to act on them immediately. Try to realize that you’re the only one running on your timeline and just because others aren’t doesn’t mean they don’t care.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Not one for instability, this week might have you a little on edge. Relationships will break up and make up quicker than you can bat one of those gorgeous eyelashes of yours. Fiery, passionate relationships are a double-edged sword. They ignite quickly but also tend to burn out. Keep your wits about you while you separate the wants from the needs.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) With your fiery passion this week, you may do well to point it in a positive direction as your words and action will either help you or hurt you. You may be feeling impulsive about your wants and needs and can’t distinguish between the two. Make sure that you get your point across to others as simply – and nicely – as possible without making too many waves.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You are on fire right now! If ever there were a tornado of hard work, repairs, and service, you would be it right now. Whether it’s for your own house or someone else’s, there is much to be done and you have nothing else but that job in your crosshairs. Maybe it’s a good technique for avoiding the real problems, but if it works, work it.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You possess a lot of get up and go right now and you feel called to help your fellow man with it. There’s no greater motivator than the greater good, and you have the hutzpah to rally the troops and get the job done. The only problem is that you want instant gratification, which doesn’t always happen. Realize you’re working toward the bigger picture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Cool your jets! This week will have you making big decisions about creating and procreating on the spot. While it’s great to go after what your heart desires, these are things that need to be thought out, talked about, and waited on to be truly sure we know what we’re getting ourselves into. Take a breath and a beat before deciding anything.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Now, now, now! That’s your work motto for this week. Opportunities, growth, and financial gain can’t get here fast enough for you. While normally you may be a patient person, something is really lighting a fire under you right now. Make sure you channel all that energy into making those rewards come to you as quickly as possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) This week has you gearing up to wear yourself out quickly. While there are plenty of things to keep you busy, the universe is begging you to take a moment and relax. The work will always be there, but you won’t so it’s important to take care of yourself right now to avoid suffering burn out and/or exhaustion. Just take a moment every now and then.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) You can expect to be a little manic, hurried, and captivated this week. You flit from learning one thing to another, and the results of that knowledge will come quickly and will bring you great happiness. At the end of this busy week, things will slow down but the knowledge will remain. Use it to your fullest potential and make it last as long as you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) This week is going to show you exactly what you’re made of. There will be a rapid succession of events that will put your mental strength and endurance to the test. When all else fails and you feel like you’re drowning, realize that you have the capacity to be the anchor or the life preserver. You are more powerful than you’ll ever need to be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) You may find yourself the center of attention and unable to stop talking at social events this week. There seems to be a newly added verve to your personality where you anger and excite quickly. You may not know what you want – exactly – but you’re going to bulldoze on until you get whatever you think it is. Try not to run over people on the way. PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Money and financial gain weigh heavy on your mind right now. If you need it and don’t have it, then you will feel absolutely compelled to make it in any way possible, and just to your own benefit. If you already have a nice little nest egg, you may find yourself obsessing over how to build it up even further. There are too many things on your Christmas list. Whittle it down.

Pet of the Week

PRIZE PEARL

At the Humane Society, we highly prize each and every animal, advocating on their behalf and seeing to it that they have the support they need to be their best possible selves. Pearl is one such love, who would really benefit from a calm, quiet and child-free household, where she can be doted on and given the freedom to just be Pearl. As well, the Chinese Sharpei and Pit Bull Terrier will absolutely thrive as the sole pet of her fur-ever home with a family who can dole out extra care and attention to our possibly deaf four-year-old. Adoption fee: $50. #A501975
