PROTEST. Tacomans came out en masse to protest the proposed LNG Plant on Nov.21 at a PSE open house for the facility at the Tacoma Convention Center. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

uget Sound Energy’s plan for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Tacoma was met with even more resistance the evening of Nov. 21 during an open house PSE held at the Tacoma Convention Center. More than 100 Tacomans came out to protest the proposed plant. The protest was led by RedLine Tacoma, an organization opposed to the $300 million LNG facility with worries about the proximity the plant would

have to downtown and residential areas if an accident occurred. “Since the city of Tacoma is the lead agency for this project, they have not only the right but the obligation to open up a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement,” organizer Cindy Feist said. “When PSE wanted to open this project up, they notified people within 400 feet. Well, who lives within 400 feet of the Hylebos? So it’s disingenuous at best. They’re violating treaty rights. They’re violating the Puyallup indigenous nation. Why would they do that, leave them out of this process? We’re demanding a supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement.” The open house was one of several attempts by PSE to be more transparent about the project and answer questions people still have after two years of environmental review and permitting efforts for a project set to open in 2019. Demonstrations were performed to show how the 8 million gallon facility will work. Also in front of the building was a smaller group rallying in favor of the LNG facility, as a way to bring jobs to the city. “Jobs, blue-collar jobs protecting the port of Tacoma as an industrial land u See LNG / page A11

TRUMP PROTESTERS RALLY AT WRIGHT PARK, PLAN MORE TO COME

MARCH. About 400 people rallied at Wright Park on Saturday to voice their concerns about the pending presidency of Donald Trump. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

About 400 people rallied at Tacoma’s Wright Park Saturday morning to voice their concerns about President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign statements and his political promises once he takes office after the New Year. The rally started at 11:30 a.m. under

chants about protecting the environment, celebrating diversity and protecting civil liberties: “water is life,” “this is what democracy looks like; this is what the people look like,” “black lives matter; all lives matter” and “what do we do when we are under attack? Stand up, fight back.” “We are all part of America,” rally attendee David Johnsen said, noting that he supported independent-turned-

Democrat Bernie Sanders for president during the primary and then cast his vote for Sanders’ primary challenger Hilary Clinton when Sanders dropped out before Clinton went on to lose the election to Trump on Nov. 8. He worries that Trump will make the nation more divisive rather than work to bring the nation together. “We all have a part in

There weren't many books about Vietnam written in the mid-60's, when most Americans couldn't have told you exactly where that country was. John Taylor was in Harvard medical school when he first read the only history he could find. Then he began asking professors about other material. They had nothing to offer him. Taylor saved their letters. He saved everything. In the summer of 1970, Taylor came to Washington to begin a hospital internship run by the University of Washington. One thing became clear. “I knew the risk of being drafted was high. I'd been ordered by the Navy to report for a physical,” Taylor said. “I asked for conscientious objector status and was denied. “I wasn't going to go. I had no choice – I couldn't shoot people I had no truck with. That was against everything I was brought up to believe.” Canada wasn't an option for Taylor – didn't feel right. As it turned out, his alternative to going to war was to go to Vietnam and work on his own in a small hospital there. “At Harvard, I'd heard Dr. Patricia Smith talk about a hospital in Kontum, and when I got to Seattle, Dr. Louis Braile was president of the Kontum hospital fund,” Taylor said. After deciding to go to Vietnam, Taylor told the Navy where they could find him, and in November of 1971 he left the United States. He was told his case was being turned over to the attorney general for prosecution. Taylor was 27 years old and didn't speak a word of any language spoken in Vietnam. He didn't know much about tropical diseases, which were common in Kontum. And he was certain someone would be waiting to arrest him when he got off the plane in Hanoi. No one was, so he took a cab to the hospital. “There were a lot of patients, a lot of common elements to the problems they came in with,” Taylor said. “I began to pick up medical terms first, and within two or three months began to speak the language, Bahnar. “I lived with the clinic staff. I wanted to teach them what I did know, and they were open to that.” One irony: his draft board sent him a letter – in Vietnam – telling him to report for his induction in Seattle. Early in 1973, Taylor was exhausted, done in by hepatitis and under staffing. He began to think about going home, and went to see Army General Michael Healy. “I asked would he document my hospital service in Kontum, so I would have some record of it when I got home,” Taylor said. “He was polite, but not very sympathetic.” Healy was serving his fifth tour of Vietnam. When Taylor flew home, he fully expected to

Most new customers will receive these new speeds immediately when they sign-up and existing users can expect to see new speeds before Dec. 1. To get the increased speeds, most customers will simply need to re-start their modems when notified by Comcast that the new speed is available. Comcast will also notify customers who may need to upgrade their modems to receive the increased speeds. Customers who lease modems from Comcast will be able to receive upgraded modems at no additional charge. Customers who own their own modems and need to upgrade their

SEAPORT ALLIANCE NAMED PORT OF THE YEAR The Washington Public Ports Association recognized The Northwest Seaport Alliance with its annual Port of the Year Award. The annual award recognizes a WPPA member port that demonstrates exceptional success in the industry. The selection committee cited the NWSA’s first-year accomplishments, including General Central Peninsula and Terminal 5 improvements, the Operations Service Center and returning cargo volumes. “We are honored by WPPA’s recognition of our work to create jobs for our state and provide more efficient ways for exporters and manufacturers to get their products to overseas markets,” said Connie Bacon, co-chair of The Northwest Seaport Alliance. “We are also grateful for the association’s continued advocacy to keep our state competitive.” “This partnership between the ports of Seattle and Tacoma is important for our region. It demonstrates that these ports are committed to working together for the benefit of everyone,” said WPPA President Troy McClelland, a commissioner at the Port of Everett. “The entire port community in our state recognizes, supports and is grateful for this accomplishment.” The NWSA, which is an umbrella partnership of business operations at the ports of Tacoma and Seattle, received the award at the WPPA annual meeting in Tacoma. Combined, the ports are the fourth-largest container gateway in North America. Regional marine cargo facilities also are a major center for bulk, breakbulk, project/ heavy-lift cargoes, automobiles and trucks. USDA PROVIDES HOLIDAY FOOD SAFETY TIPS Millions of Americans will gather family and friends around the dinner table this week to give thanks for all they have. But for those preparing the meal, it can be a stressful time. Not to mention, for many it is the largest meal they have cooked all year, leaving plenty of room for mistakes that could cause foodborne illness. “Unsafe handling and undercooking of food can lead to serious foodborne illness,” said Al Almanza, Deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). “Turkeys may contain Salmonella and Campylobacter, harmful pathogens that are only destroyed by properly preparing and cooking the turkey. Similarly, leaving leftovers out for too long, or not taking care to properly clean cooking and serving surfaces, can lead to other types of illness. We want to be sure that all consumers know the steps they can take and resources that are available to them to help prepare a safe and enjoyable holiday meal. ” To avoid making everyone at the table sick, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service offers five tips for a food safe Thanksgiving: Tip 1: Don’t Wash That Turkey. According to the most recent Food Safety Survey, conducted by the Food and Drug Administration, 68 percent of the public washes whole turkey before cooking it. USDA does not recommend washing raw meat and poultry before cooking. Washing raw meat and poultry can cause bacteria to spread up to three feet away.

POLICE ON THE HUNT FOR IDENTITY THEFT SUSPECT By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

Pierce County Sheriff’s detectives need your help to identify the suspect responsible for a theft and credit card fraud. On the morning of Friday, Oct. 4, a vehicle DAVID ROSE was prowled on 133rd St. E. in Puyallup. A window of the vehicle was smashed in by an unidentified suspect and a purse containing several credit cards, identification and checks was stolen from inside the vehicle. “It's so frustrating to find out when you read a report that people leave their wallets and their purses in their cars and then they get their cars broken into and become secondary victims through identity theft,” said Det. Ed Troyer. In the days following the theft, the victim’s stolen checks were used by the pictured suspect at Costco stores in Tacoma and Puyallup, and

Bulletin Board CONTINUED FROM PAGE A2 poultry to the right temperature kills any bacteria that may be present, so washing meat and poultry is not necessary. Tip 2: Use the refrigerator, the cold-water method or the microwave to defrost a frozen turkey. There are three safe ways to defrost a turkey: in the refrigerator, in cold water and in the microwave oven. Thawing food in the refrigerator is the safest method because the turkey will defrost at a consistent, safe temperature. It will take 24 hours for every 5 pounds of weight for a turkey to thaw in the refrigerator. To thaw in cold water, submerge the bird in its original wrapper in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes. For instructions on microwave defrosting, refer to your microwave’s owner’s manual. Cold water and microwave thawing can also be used if your bird did not entirely defrost in the refrigerator. Tip 3: Use a meat thermometer. The only way to determine if a turkey (or any meat, poultry or seafood) is cooked is to check its internal temperature with a food thermometer. A whole turkey should be checked in three locations: the innermost part of the thigh, the innermost part of the wing and the thickest part of the breast. Your thermometer should register 165°F in all three of these places. The juices rarely run clear at this temperature, and when they do the bird is often overcooked. Using the food thermometer is the best way to ensure your turkey is cooked, but not overdone. Tip 4: Don’t store food outside, even if it’s cold.

Storing food outside is not food safe for two reasons. The first is that animals, both wild and domesticated, can get into food stored outside, consuming it or contaminating it. The second is temperature variation. Just like your car gets warm in the summer, a plastic food storage container in the sun can heat up and climb into the danger zone (above 40°F). The best way to keep that extra Thanksgiving food at a safe temperature (below 40°F) is in a cooler with ice. Tip 5: Leftovers are good in the refrigerator for up to four days. Cut the turkey off the bone and refrigerate it as soon as you can, within 2 hours of the turkey coming out of the oven. Leftovers will last for four days in the refrigerator, so if you know you won’t use them right away, pack them into freezer bags or airtight containers and freeze. For best quality, use your leftover turkey within four months. After that, the leftovers will still be safe, but can dry out or lose flavor. Want additional food safety tips? If you have questions about Thanksgiving dinner, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) to talk to a food-safety expert. Last November, they answered more than 3,000 calls about Thanksgiving dinner. You can also chat live with a food safety expert at AskKaren.gov, available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, in English and Spanish. If you need help on Thanksgiving Day, the Meat and Poultry Hotline is available from 5-11 a.m. Pacific time. Consumers with food safety questions can visit FoodSafety.gov to learn more about how to safely select, thaw and prepare a turkey.

HILLTOP SANTA RETURNS FOR ANOTHER SEASON OF GIVING By Matt Nagle

matt@tacomaweekly.com

Once again this year, the Hilltop Santa (aka Tom Reynolds) is teaming up with Toy Rescue Mission Director Martha Davis to bring joy to children and families whose holidays may not be so merry without the selflessness of these two Christmas angels. The pair will be hosting children and their families on two dates this year, and are partnering with Walgreens to offer free flu shots to the first 80 people. On Saturday, Nov. 26 Santa will be at the Toy Rescue Mission (607 S. Winnifred St., next to the Tacoma Boys parking lot) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to hear children’s wishes, and photos with Santa will be $5 each. Everyone will receive candy canes, gift bags will be given to the first 50 families and there will be drawings for 10 Christmas tree packages. Those who pre-register for toy shopping days in December at the Toy Rescue Mission will receive special raffle tickets for awesome prizes. Then on Saturday, Dec. 3 Santa and Davis will be at Metro Parks’ STAR Center from noon to 3 p.m. Photos with Santa are $5 and everyone will enjoy free candy canes, cookies, cider, coffee and hot chocolate. The center’s play zone will also be open for the little ones, every family will receive a gift bag, kids will get a little gift from Santa and there will again be drawings for 10 Christmas tree packages. Preregistration is not required but will help things move along more smoothly: www. facebook.com/STARCenterTacoma/events. HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS For the past eight years, Tom Reynolds has been working hard at his Hilltop Santa efforts, and this year is no different. Starting almost a year in advance of Christmas, Reynolds is out soliciting for donations of children’s toys, Christmas candy and other such gifts for little ones and lining up his appearance dates around town. This holiday season, in addition to being at the Toy Rescue Mission and STAR Center, he will be at Sam and Terry’s Barber Shop (1110 S. 11th St.) on Saturday, Dec. 10 from noon to 3 p.m.; the Toy Rescue Mission on Monday, Dec. 19 from 5-8 p.m.; and will make a special appearance at the Charlton Place Assisted Living staff party on Monday, Dec. 22. His visit to Sam & Terry’s holds a special

place in Reynold’s heart. “I’ll be there in honor of Sam Daniels,” he said of this Sam & Terry’s founder – a true Tacoma icon, beloved Hilltop resident and a real sweetheart of a man who passed away in 2013 at the age of 91. The Hilltop Santa has made countless little ones happy over the years, but now he is facing a serious crossroads concerning the future of his Christmastime giving. He said it is getting increasingly difficult to secure donations of toys and candy, such that things are looking bleak for the future. Reynolds isn’t looking for expensive toys or high-priced gifts – he just needs reliable sources willing to donate to his sack of toys so that the children won’t go without. The look on the little ones’ faces when they meet the Hilltop Santa is nothing short of magical, and Reynolds’ commitment to his work as Santa in the community brings smiles to the parents faces as well, grateful that their children will have good memories of Christmastime. If you, or someone you know, could help out, please contact Reynolds at the main phone number (253) 341-3510 – or (253) 576-0321 or (253) 272-5551.

TOY RESCUE MISSION Serving the Pierce County area for more than 20 years, the Toy Rescue Mission is a 501 c3 non-profit that is 99 percent volunteer staffed and managed. It receives no state or federal funding and while it is not affiliated with the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), the mission does use similar criteria to qualify clients and to establish need. All clients must have a minimum two of the following to qualify at Toy Rescue Mission: a Provider One card from the Washington State DSHS, a tribal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) card, a current Washington state issued medical card (SSI award letters, WIC, free lunch or other proof may substitute for medical cards), and a current Washington photo I.D. of parent/guardian with a Pierce County address. Go to www. ToyRescueMission.org to get more information or call (253) 460-6711. The Toy Rescue Mission does extraordinary work by refurbishing and recycling gently used toys for disadvantaged children and seniors in care facilities, while providing meaningful volunteer opportunities for the young at heart. Its giving programs

include birthdays, Easter, Christmas, back to school and a nursing home/assisted living program to provide lap robes, puzzles, books, stuffed animals, toiletries and more to seniors. Last year they served 12,528 people and 1,100 families with that number likely to increase as it has each year. Jan. 1 to Oct. 31 is when the toy workshop is operating at full capacity. Each toy is thoroughly cleaned and given any slight repairs that may be necessary, then individually shrink-wrapped to where you’d never know that it was pre-owned. Toys even include batteries, a great savings for families since batteries are so expensive. “A lot of the low-income families will tell me they can’t afford to buy batteries,” Davis said. “If you have three or four kids and you’re buying AA and AAA batteries for a couple of toys, that could be $25 bucks. If you have $25 and two weeks to payday and you need to buy milk or diapers, are you going to buy batteries?” Now that Christmas is so near, only new toys are being accepted at this time because there is not enough time to refurbished used toys and the workshop needs to be transformed into a place where parents can shop. Davis said the Mission is currently in need of items for boys 5-10 years old and for teen boys. “We get a lot of donations for toddlers, but people forget that kids over the age of 11 are still kids and they still need toys. 11 to 15 is always that difficult age, so that’s why we’re asking people to donate.” For faster service, parents/guardians are asked to pre-register to come in and do their shopping this year and they will also get in on a chance to win one of 15 Toshiba Netbooks the Toy Rescue Mission is giving away. For those who wish to shop, dates have been set up from Dec. 1 to Dec. 16 with each day organized by the first letter shoppers’ last names. With their building having been sold to new owners and the rent increased by $1,000 a month, Davis is hoping to find a new home for the Mission before its two-year lease runs out. Last year, the Mission was blessed with a very generous $100,000 gift from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and Davis is hoping something wonderful like that will happen for the Mission again this year to help pay for a deposit to relocate to a less expensive and larger facility. Davis asks that anyone with any leads to please contact her at the Toy Rescue Mission.

DESPITE OUR TURMOIL, AMERICANS ARE BLESSED By Don C. Brunell

For some, Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family and friends and give thanks for the blessings we enjoy. For others, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time to volunteer at soup kitchens to help the less fortunate. For still others, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply a chance to eat a huge meal and watch football. This year is different. Americans are healing after a historic, tumultuous presidential election. Therefore, it is easy to get sidetracked on what is wrong with our country. In reality, most Americans have no idea how fortunate we are. With the exception of military families, too few of us have fought to protect the freedoms we have. Few people alive today experienced the depravation of the Great Depression. More than one-third of our population was born after the Vietnam War. Because of that, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize what we have. America is a stable and open society. People canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be jailed for criticizing the government. Even the poorest among us have access to food and housing. Women are not imprisoned for driving a car and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be executed for practicing your religion. The United States has never been invaded by another country and we have never known the stifling repression of a totalitarian government. We have enjoyed these freedoms for so long, we take them for granted and

assume they will always be here. But as President Reagan warned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation.â&#x20AC;? Ironically, the greatest risk we face is not external; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal. If we lose our freedoms, it will likely be a defeat of our own making, as succeeding generations of Americans decide itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to leave all the important decisions and responsibilities to the government. How would that work out? Ask the people of Poland. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Communist dictators tightly controlled everything in Poland. The government made all the decisions about manufacturing, housing and agricultural production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not to worry,â&#x20AC;? the politicians said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the government will ensure that everyone has what they need.â&#x20AC;? The Soviet-style system of centralized planning and government control failed miserably. The evidence is on display in the Solidarity Museum in Gdansk, Poland. The museum features a mockup of a Soviet-era grocery store with only lard and vinegar on the shelves. Walking out of the store is a mannequin of a shabbily-clad Polish woman carrying only toilet paper, because there was no food for sale. In the end, people took to the streets

because they had nothing to lose. Lech Walesa, an electrician at the mammoth Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, led the Solidarity movement. They struck for better wages, working conditions and to end the austerity. They were promptly jailed by the government. Poland union leaders had support from AFL-CIO president Lane Kirkland, who funneled money to the protestors and kept pressure on American presidents to back the movement. While Kirkland believed that the common people, not top leaders, would free Poland and bring down the Iron Curtain, it was the work of the Polish Pope John Paul II and President Reagan that brought the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to the plight of the Poles. The rest is history, and today Poland and the other central European nations prosper from the free market system. No matter where you go in Warsaw or Prague, you see shopping malls and fully stocked grocery stores. This Thanksgiving, we should remember that America is still the place people around the world emulate. But nothing is permanent, and we should remember that freedom is a fragile thing. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver.

DEMOCRACY IS NOT DEMONIZATION

By Saadia Ahmad

I am a Muslim-American and a peacebuilder. In the aftermath of a polarizing election season, the victory of President-elect Donald Trump, and an onslaught of violent hate crimes and proposed policies threatening human rights, I am struggling to simultaneously maintain my commitment to both roles and identities. I am deeply troubled by the racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, ableist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic rhetoric and violence that is on the rise. In my hometown of South Brunswick, New Jersey, the school board election signs of a respected, Muslim woman leader were defaced with the phrases â&#x20AC;&#x153;ISIS,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rag Head,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oppressor,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;anti-American.â&#x20AC;? This trend threatens the human dignity that America and Islam seek to protect and preserve. But ignoring what lead us to this point today will not serve any of us well. Through this election season and its results, half of our country is communicating something to the other half. Unless every person who voted for Trump is racist, sexist, or xenophobic (which I do not believe is statistically plausible), there must have been something else deeply compelling that motivated their votes for him. Likewise, those who are experiencing immense fear, pain and trauma from Trump winning the presidency need to be heard and recognized by those who voted for him. Continuing to shut our eyes, ears and hearts to one another will continue the polarization that brought us to where we are today. The dehumanization of Republicans

by Democrats and of Democrats by Republicans undermines the pluralism that constitutes both America and Islam. As divided, fearful and hurt as many of us are, we all still share in the responsibility of what happens to ourselves and one another in the months and years ahead. A college mentor of mine commented recently that the price of being an American is tolerance and protection of people we have disagreements with on the issues that matter most. This is a choice each of us faces when we encounter someone whose background, belief, or ideology differs from our own. In no way is this choice meant to ignore, excuse or normalize the hate speech, violence and proposed policies that threaten the human rights of our minority and vulnerable populations. Rather, the point I hope to get across is that at the interpersonal level, each of us has the choice to engage with one another at a level beyond hostility and tolerance, and with curiosity and compassion in its wake. This is where our empowerment and potential can be most impactful. I am finding many of my progressive, liberal and Democratic friends unwilling to speak to or even recognize the other side, as if having any connection or communication equates to accepting or condoning what some (not all) of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters are doing. One friend referred to his supporters as dogs needing to be tamed. There are stories, pains and hopes behind positions that we often cannot see at the surface. This is what I strive to remember in the wake of an unprecedented and unexpected outcome to an election

season that has introduced new levels of polarization, pain, and fear, leaving many of us afraid and uncertain of what lies ahead. The needs of an unheard portion of our country have finally been recognized; it is deeply unfortunate and concerning for the other half that this occurred within the context of unprecedently public prejudice, violence and threatening policies towards our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minorities and most vulnerable populations. I fear that I may soon be coined a self-hating Muslim and child of immigrants for suggesting the humanity of the other side. But what I am speaking from is my training in mediation and conflict resolution. While recognizing and not denying nor excusing the real harm that has been done and which is still ongoing amid this national conflict, the best tool that mediators have to offer to parties in conflict is the question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;how do we want to move forward now?â&#x20AC;? Amid this time of divisive politics and dehumanization, we each still have the power to decide individually how we engage with those who differ from ourselves in thought, word, and deed. It is our choice, always, as are the consequences of that choice. Indeed, those choices are what lead us to where we are today: polarization, fear, prejudice. It is up to each of us now how we move forward, but that fate is shared by us all.

Tacoma has a long history of being a workingclass city of modest homes and residents living paycheck to paycheck as rent, taxes and costs-ofliving outpace wages for a large swath of people. Rents in the City of Destiny are increasing faster than most urban areas in the nation, further cutting into wallets. That means we need to seriously think about new ways of living, particularly as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock of vacant land for new homes is shrinking. Part of that ongoing and longstanding discussion is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Residential Infill Pilot Program. The idea behind the program is to have property owners and would-be developers look at ways to add denser housing options and what those aparments, lofts or mini homes would look like in otherwise single-family neighborhoods. The results of the program will provide elected officials with concepts as they make decisions about zoning and design standards as the city prepares to welcome new residents in the coming years. The infill program will specifically begin discussions about the potential development of detached accessory dwelling units, two-family housing developments, small-scale apartment developments and cottage housing in areas that are already developed. Much of the concept work has already been done, with a handbook already available that describes the housing types, where they can be located, how infill projects will be reviewed and what design standards they would be required to meet. Everyone living in, or who owns property in, a neighborhood with mostly single-family homes should give the handbook a read and voice their thoughts about the infill program sooner rather than later to avoid frustration down the road after developments are already in the permiting process. Tacoma is changing. It is adding residents, and those people will need a place to live. They will likely not be able to keep up with the rising rental rates or the home prices, so we will have to come up with some creative ways to solve the looming housing crunch.

IT’S JUST BUSINESS:

TAKE YOUR KIDS TO WORK AND HELP BUILD TOMORROW’S WORKFORCE

PHOTOS COURTESY OF WILLIAM MANZANARES

(Left) Little trainees (from left) Isaiah, William, Dorian, Isabella and Amelliah now have had their first taste of the working world and loved it. (Right) The boss gets silly with the kiddos: (from left) Amiya, William Manzanares, Isaiah, Isabella and Doreen. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

As a lifelong entrepreneur, it is no secret that William Manzanares has a passion for business. This, of course, includes working for success for himself and his employees, but there are others out in the broader community that he also wants to help succeed – the youth. “Mentoring our young people is actually what I feel is my true calling,” he said. “It takes me back to when I was younger and trying to figure out my way in this world.” In doing some research on putting together a set of books on business for youth, he pondered the questions, “What makes a child have a good work ethic upon reaching adulthood? Is there a correlation between work ethic and the timeframe when one enters the work force?” To further pursue these questions, he decided to organize the first “bring your child to work day” at Smokin’ Willy’s on Nov. 11, and it was a win for everyone involved. Even though National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is recognized on the fourth Thursday in April each year, Manzanares decided not to wait for this day, and he encourages other working people and business owners to do the same. “This is our future generation we’re talking about,” he said. “If I can do it at Smokin’ Willy’s, anyone can do it anywhere. I believe that employers should take this on, and not just in April.” And it doesn’t have to be for the whole day, either. Manzanares says that even a few hours is enough to make an impression on children by seeing their parent and other adults modeling workplace behaviors and how to behave on-the-job.

“Helping kids learn how to move about in an adult world and develop social skills at an early age will last them a lifetime,” he said. For his first “bring your child to work day” at Smokin’ Willy’s, Manzanares took five of his staff’s children under his wing ranging in age from 3 to 7 years old – Amiya, Isaiah, Amelliah, Isabella and Dorian. He had matching “trainee” T-shirts made up for each one of them and spent time talking with them about things like customer service and that there are ways to be productive throughout the day in between customers, like making the Bulletproof brand coffee Smokin’ Willy’s sells. “They were so excited to come in and learn,” Manzanares said. “There was a lot of laughter and a lot of fun.” He made it clear to the children that the tobacco products were strictly off limits. “I told them ‘you are not allowed to touch the icky stuff’ – you can handle cash and help with coffee, but not that,” he said. The young workers learned that every time the bell rung it meant that a customer had driven up to the drivethrough window, and these moments were a big deal to the kids. “They’d get so excited when the bell rung that they would all just barrage the window,” Manzanares said with a laugh. “Some customers really enjoyed talking with the children, asking them things like how much are you getting paid and what they were learning. The joy and excitement the kids had said it all.” Giving doggie treats to customers with four-footed friends in the car was a lot of fun for the children – so

much that the kids even gave doggie treats to some customers without a pet in tow. Manzanares tipped the little employees who did well with customer service, and this led at least one child, Amiya, to have an “ah ha” moment about spending her money right away. “I watched Amiya talking to her mom about buying a sucker,” Manzanares said. “Her mom told her the sucker was 35 cents and said ‘you have money now – you can buy it.’ You should have seen the look of shock on Amiya’s face when she discovered she’d have to spend her own money on it – and she said no. I saw that whole idea of delaying gratification – she earned her money from tips, she had the money to buy a sucker and would not buy it because it was her money. She had that ‘light bulb’ moment to save her money. This is the first foundation of showing kids delayed gratification and working hard for their own money and that their parents aren’t just an unlimited source of funds. When you learn how long it takes to make a $1 tip and you were there for a long time, that 35 cent sucker will mean a lot less to you.” To further their education that day, Manzanares read a book to the children, “Lemonade in Winter: A Book about Two Kids Counting Money” by Emily Jenkins and G. Brian Karas. Toward the end of day, the kids all wrote thank-you messages to him and his staff on a big sheet of paper. “I will continue doing this,” Manzanares said, “only next time I won’t have a whole lot of kids at once. I have a new appreciation for teachers from this experience. I was mentally worn out by the end of the day, but in a very good way.”

Permits are in the works for the 8 million-gallon facility on the Hylebos Waterway that would manufacture liquefied natural gas that PSE would then sell to container ships and other commercial transportation customers seeking lower-emission fuels. Don Marsh leads the Coalition of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy in Bellevue, which is also debating PSE over a potential transmission line in their city. “We’re asking a lot of the same questions you guys are asking down here: Is it safe? Is it necessary?” Marsh said. “We’re starting to work together, and there’s a lot of synergy here.” Members of the Puyallup Tribe also came out, desperate to protect tribal treaties and the environmental future.

the environmental review was insufficient and flawed. “To take care of this land, to take care of this water but more importantly to take care of our children – we have that responsibility, to care and protect,” Tribal Member Connie McCloud said. “Water is life – we have a responsibility.” Information about the plant’s safety and disaster plans are part of a Freedom of Information Act request that PSE is fighting. A judge ruled that the records should be disclosed, but the utility has appealed the decision. PSE filings state that any mishap would be contained within the 500-foot fence around the facility, and poses no threat to surrounding businesses or residents. A hearing on the disclosure is set for January, but much of the information has already been released. PSE will hold a telephone town hall from 7-8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1 for people who could not attend the open house. A video of an online presentation is also available on Tacomacleanlng.com.

stage the rally as a way to build social and political activism, particularly with young people. “We really wanted a platform for youth to speak out,” organizer Claudii Quinn said. “Many of them are too young to vote and had no part in this (election).” The 2016 ballot was the first time, for example, the 21-year-old voted for president and she was disheartened by the selection. “It really hurt that this was my first time voting, and this man was

on the ballot,” she said, noting that the group is now planning future rallies, but also researching ways of showing support of like-minded people rather than creating another group in which people could participate. “We want to work together rather than divide it up.” The rally, for example, was originally being planned for Nov. 12, but organizers pushed it back a week so the local event would not draw people from participating in another anti-Trump rally in Seattle that day.

be arrested. Again, no one was waiting for him. What Taylor didn't know, and wouldn't for months, was that his case had been dropped, that the attorney general recognized his medical service in Vietnam. Back in Seattle, Taylor returned to UW School of Public Health, then took a job as a Washington state epidemiologist. While at UW, he met Ann Williams and the two began a four-year courtship that led to their marriage. She became an oncologist, he turned to pediatrics. Taylor didn't talk much about Vietnam, though with Williams he was open. “It was never hidden from me,” she said. “I was proud of him then and now. He made a principled stand.” They moved to Gig Harbor, built a home, had two children. His practice was in Port Orchard, hers in Tacoma. Vietnam was behind them, though never entirely out of mind. “I visited the Vietnam Memorial in D.C.,” Taylor said. “Like everyone else there, I was moved by the wall and the names, the people who came to leave notes or just touch a name. “Later, I thought about the losses on the other side. If the Vietnamese added the names of their soldiers and civilians killed to the memorial, they'd need 50 walls the size of ours.” Taylor couldn't help thinking his own relationship with Kontum wasn't finished. Taylor retired in 1998 and, three years later, took Ann and the kids on a vacation to Vietnam. “It had changed dramatically,” Taylor said. “Though I hadn't really spoken the language since I left, I found I could still speak it. For whatever reason, I seem to dream in Bahnar.” Ann enjoyed the trip. “The Vietnamese were so welcoming,” she said. “We visited the hospitals, met so many wonderful people.” They were invited back by doctors who hoped they might return and teach young Vietnamese doctors and nurses. That seed germinated and blossomed. “Since that first vacation, John and I have gone back to Vietnam probably 10-11 times, each time on threemonth Visas,” Ann said. “We've taught all over Vietnam, and I taught classes in Myanmar (Burma) and Laos. “We've taught hundreds of doctors and nurses, gone back and seen them now in charge of departments or hospitals.” Ann retired in 2007 at age 56, in part “because John was tired of being home alone,” she said, laughing. They moved to Tacoma, built a north end home with tall fences and big windows. “Lots of light, but lots of privacy,” Ann said. John and Ann love to visit the American southwest in spring, but always spend most of the spring and summer in the Northwest. “In February, we're going back to Vietnam, and as long as we're healthy and keep being invited back, I think we'll go once a year from now on,” Taylor said. He remains proud of his 1971 decision. “I couldn't go there and kill,” Taylor said. “I'm glad I went as a doctor. I think it was one of the best decisions I ever made.”

year. Of course, the pleasant surprise of the season was the performance of the Stadium Tigers. While the school is the oldest in Tacoma, most folks in the know were unaware that in all the years that Stadium fielded football teams, not a single one of them had ever qualified for the playoffs before this season. The job that head coach Thomas Ford has done with the Stadium program is one of the best overall news stories of the year. Teams used to be able to mark a “W” on their schedules next to the Tigers, before even playing the game. Decades

of effort continued to produce meager results from the program and to see the Tigers finish the season at 6-4 was quite remarkable. The biggest win in the city this season was arguably put in by Stadium when they shocked the Pierce County League champion Lincoln Abes by a score of 28-14 to close the regular season. It would prove to be the high point of a great season, as the Tigers would go on to fall at Peninsula in the opening round of the playoffs.

Under the bright lights of Seattle’s Memorial Stadium, the Lincoln Abes quest for a 2016 football state championship came to a close on Friday, Nov. 18 in the 3A state quarterfinals. The game will certainly go down as the battle of the season for Abes, and possibly for the top-ranked, undefeated O’Dea Fighting Irish as well. The 28-20 final score was close, but the game was actually much closer, with Lincoln setting the tone early and then briefly regaining the game’s momentum late, when they needed it the most. After defeating an impressive Lynnwood Royals team in the state tournament opening round the week prior, the Abes look like they were beginning to peak as a team again. With a sense of renewed swagger and mojo flowing, Lincoln appeared to be in prime shape to play the role of “giant killer” the following week against powerhouse O’Dea. The game would be a rematch of the opening weekend of football. Lincoln travelled to tired and old West Seattle Stadium to face an O’Dea team that was ready to make a legitimate run at the Seattle Metro League dominance of two-time defending state champion Eastside Catholic. In the opener, O’Dea had a rough time with the Abes in the first half, but turned it on in the second half with their ground and pound style of play and pulled away from Lincoln by a score of 31-14. Following the opening kick-off, Lincoln stomped on the gas pedal and began marching right down the field. Solid runs by senior running back L.J. Lovelace, senior quarterback Joey Sinclair and junior running back Tristian Kwon had the Abes sitting at the O’Dea two yard line, looking at first and goal. The next snap of the ball would see a yellow flag fly and Lincoln was slapped with a holding penalty, pushing the ball back to the 12 yard line. On second down, Lovelace was stopped for no gain, but a late-hit, personal foul penalty was called on O’Dea, moving the ball halfway to the end-zone at the six yard line. At this point, many Lincoln fans began to make a stir about the set of downs not resetting back to first down, following the personal foul penalty. A one-yard run by Lovelace was followed by two incomplete pass attempts by Sinclair. While many folks on the Abes’ side of the stadium felt there should have been one more down, a little research after the game made it clear that the call was correct. A deadball, personal foul penalty is not an automatic first down in high school football, unless the 15 yards assessed moves the ball past the firstdown marker. In this case, the ball only moved six yards, with no first down to be had since it began as first and goal from the two yard line. O’Dea would take over at their own five yard line and immediately began tearing off huge chunks of yardage. It would take the Fighting Irish just seven plays to hit paydirt, capped by a 36-yard touchdown scamper by O’Dea fullback Hunter Franco. O’Dea now led 7-0 with 6:34 remaining in the first quarter. Lincoln would earn a first down on the ensuing drive, but ended up having to punt the ball away. O’Dea would then mount a clockchewing, 15-play drive that stalled at the Lincoln 29 yard line following a gang-tackle sack of quarterback Warren King on fourth down. Lincoln was now back in business. Starting from their own 36 yard line, the Abes would strike quickly. It would take Lincoln just six plays to cover the 64 yards needed for a score as Kwon took a handoff and swept to the left side, outracing the Fighting Irish defenders to the end-zone and the score was knotted at 7-7 with 5:20 remaining in the second quarter. The Lincoln defense then rose to the occasion on the next possession, stopping O’Dea in their tracks and forcing a punt that would

Megson’s second goal of the match came five and a half minutes into the fourth quarter, giving the Stars their largest margin of the night at 5-1. St. Louis’ Daniel Berko and Richard Schermund rattled in goals for the Ambush in the final minutes, creating the final score of 5-3. The previous night, the Tacoma Stars earned their first road win of the season with a 6-5 shootout victory over the Dallas Sidekicks (2-4) on Friday night at the Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas. After falling behind 3-0 to open the match, the Stars rallied for a trio of goals to tie things up while goalkeeper Waltman held the Sidekicks through the entire second and third quarter. The two clubs combined for three goals in the final quarter, sending the game to overtime tied at 5-5. A scoreless extra period sent Tacoma to their first shootout since joining the Major Arena Soccer League last season. Stars forward Gjertsen opened things up with a successful attempt, followed by a rebound goal from Dallas’ Ricardinho Cavalcante. Ramos then connected on his shot, and a pair of stops from Waltman sealed the win for Tacoma. The Sidekicks opened the match scoring early and often, landing a trio of goals in the opening quarter while goalkeeper Juan Gamboa worked a shutout frame to jump out to a 3-0 lead. Forward Dan Antoniuk got the Stars on the scoreboard with a goal just under three minutes into the second quarter on an assist from midfielder Johnson. Megson checked in with a goal of his own just a couple minutes later to cut the Sidekicks lead to one before halftime. Megson and Antoniuk bookended the third quarter with a pair of goals while Waltman fended off four shots for his second straight shutout period, pushing the Stars out in front, 4-3. A goal from Ramos in the final quarter of regulation was bracketed by goals from Cameron Brown and Cody Ellis, all of which came within just over a minute of gameplay to produce the 5-5 deadlock that sent the match to overtime. Over the course of regulation and overtime, Waltman and the Stars defense endured four Sidekicks power plays without surrendering a goal. Waltman finished the night with a season-high 17 saves on 22 shots. The Stars now sit in first place in the MASL Pacific Division, a full game ahead of the second place San Diego Sockers (3-2). Following a break for Thanksgiving, the Stars return to the road for a match with the San Diego Sockers on Friday, Dec. 2, the third match of a four-game road trip for Tacoma. Tacoma will return to the ShoWare Center in Kent on Saturday, Dec. 10 for a 6:05 p.m. start and the beginning of a five-game home stretch for the Stars.

WHY YERBURY ON THE ALL-CITY FOOTBALL TEAM?

Make no mistake, putting any sort of all-star team together is difficult business. Whether it’s coming from a group of coaches or writers, there always seems to be some bit of controversy, great or small, when the final tally is released for the public’s consumption. Sometimes a league is so packed with talent that there’s bound to be an athlete or two that seems to have been overlooked or relegated to a second team or honorable mention status for one reason or another. Readers will notice that there is a high school among our 2016 Tacoma Weekly All-City Team that doesn’t seem to belong. Let us explain. When the 4A South Puget Sound League recently released its 2016 SPSL All-League Team, we immediately noticed a name missing from the First Team, and it didn’t seem to make any sense. Tallon Yerbury was a senior wide receiver from Puyallup High School whom we featured earlier this year in a two-sport star article. Yerbury had an exceptional year on the gridiron, catching 58 passes for 1,082 yards. He scored 15 touchdowns in his 10 games with the Vikings for an average of 18.7 yards per catch. By season’s end, Yerbury stood atop the 4A SPSL in receiving yards and touchdowns. As of this issue, Yerbury still leads the entire state of Washington at the 4A level in receiving yards and is tied for the lead in touchdowns. While athletes on playoff teams have been able to add to their season numbers, Yerbury’s place among the best in the state has remained, even though Puyallup’s season ended more than two weeks ago. All that being said, Yerbury ended up on the Second Team of the 4A SPSL. We are aware that there is more to making an all-star team than just statistics, and that when all factors are added up, it really must seem like a near-impossible job for a group of coaches to come to a perfect agreement on an all-star team. However, this omission seems to be akin to leaving off the league’s leading scorer in basketball from his or her league all-star team. It just doesn’t happen, but somehow it did this time. After giving the matter great consideration, the Tacoma Weekly decided to create an additional roster spot on our 2016 All-City Team. If Yerbury’s league was unable to reward him with top-notch kudos, then we will offer up ours instead. No player was knocked off the roster to make way for Yerbury. As a matter of fact, we added an additional worthy player, to balance out the All-City rosters. It didn’t factor into our decision, but knowing Yerbury’s father David used to be the starting quarterback at Lincoln High School some 27 years ago made this move feel even more fitting.

PLU MEN KNOCK OFF EVERGREEN STATE AT DOUG MCARTHUR CLASSIC

The Pacific Lutheran University men’s basketball team trailed by three at the half but outscored Evergreen State College by 11 in the second half to pick up the 71-63 victory on Saturday, Nov 19 to close out the Doug McArthur Classic inside the UPS Memorial Gymnasium. PLU (2-1) tied the game at 40 with 16:25 left. From there the Lutes would go on a 9-0 run, fueled by five points from Brandon Lester. The run gave PLU a 49-40 lead with 12:53 to go. The Geoducks (0-3) fought back to come within three at 64-61 with 1:17 left but Jared Christy answered with a three pointer to put the game away for the Lutes. For the second consecutive day, four PLU starters scored in double figures. Christy was knocking down three’s with ease. He scored 18 points going four-for-six from long range and grabbed nine rebounds. Christy set up his teammates well, dishing out five assists. “The coaches are always on me to stay aggressive offensively,” Christy said. “The shots were falling tonight. We always move the ball well so it opens up lanes for different people to produce each night.” Brandon Lester led the way with 19 points, going eight-for-eight from the free throw line. Lester had three rebounds and two assists. Dylan Foreman had a nice day for the Lutes. Foreman scored 12 points, and grabbed nine rebounds. Garth West scored 10 points. Josh Baird provided a nice spark off the bench going three-for-three from the field scoring six points. The game featured five ties and 11 lead changes. PLU never missed a free throw. The team was 20-for-20, including a 16-for-16 second half performance.

TWO ROAD WINS PUSH TACOMA STARS TO TOPS OF MASL PACIFIC

The Tacoma Stars (4-1) collected their second consecutive victory, a 5-3 decision over the St. Louis Ambush (0-2), on Saturday, Nov. 19 at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri. For the second night in a row, Stars goalkeeper Danny Waltman worked scoreless second and third periods. Over the course of the match, Waltman tallied 12 saves on 15 shots and earned “First Star” status for the match. After nearly 13 minutes of silence to begin the match, midfielder Michael Ramos broke open the scoring for Tacoma with an unassisted goal, giving the Stars a 1-0 lead. St. Louis quickly found an answer when Cody Costakis sent home an equalizer seven seconds later to tie the match at 1-1. Six minutes into the second quarter, Alexander Megson took a pass from forward Mark Lee and knocked in a goal to pull the Stars out in front, 2-1. An extended power outage struck midway through the second period and neither offense found the back of the net after the lights came back on, sending Tacoma into halftime with a 2-1 advantage. Forward Joey Gjertsen and midfielder Derek Johnson both connected on goals in the third quarter, separated by five minutes. The pair of goals sent the Stars into the final frame with a 4-1 edge.

TACOMA’S GAVRONSKI AND KEYS CLAIM RING VICTORIES By Chance Pittenger

Tacoma Weekly Correspondent

The latest installment of the long running Battle at the Boat series took place on Saturday, Nov. 19, at the Emerald Queen Casino I-5 Showroom. There was a good crowd and the room felt very electric as they awaited the undercard, and more importantly, the return of hometown favorite Mike Gavronski in the main event. The fight card started with a heavyweight bout between Carlos Villanueva, who was making his pro debut, and Jose Rocha, in just his second fight. Rocha came into the ring wearing socks emblazoned with pot leaves, which along with his nickname of “Raunchy Roach” had this reporter wondering if perhaps boxing was not the most important thing in his life. Villanueva controlled the fight through the four rounds and did pretty much what he wanted, when he wanted. He won the fight via unanimous decision, much to the surprise of Rocha. Next up was Niko McFarland taking on Giovanni Cabrera-Mioletti. It was McFarland’s second fight and he was looking for his first victory, while Mioletti was undefeated in three fights with one knockout. Mioletti sported shorts that looked like they came from a yard sale at John Stockton’s house. He had the fight his way all four rounds and was clearly the classier fighter in this matchup. He also won with a unanimous decision. The third bout was a little more entertaining, showcasing Antonio Neal against Zach Cooper. Neal started off well, but a constant barrage of vicious body shots from Cooper slowed him down and gave Cooper a distinct advantage as the fight wore on. These fighters both had a few more bouts under their belts than the previous boxers, and they put on a good display. In the end, Cooper won this four rounder in a split decision. Fight number four saw Nate Serrano taking on Andre Keys, another Tacoma favorite. Serrano appeared to be much older than Keys, and Keys used his youth to overpower Serrano and control the fight from the beginning. There was never a moment in the four rounds

FIGHT CLUB. Hilltop native Mike Gavronski went toe-to-toe for a full 10 rounds for the unanimous decision over Thomas Awimbano. The victory pushes Gavronski's record to 22-2-1 and also ended an 18-fight win streak by his opponent.

that Serrano posed any threat at all, and Keys earned his third pro victory against just one defeat. As the card moved to the semi-main event, the crowd was a little restless and clamored for some action. This penultimate bout of the evening was definitely the highlight of the card and had the crowd on its feet by the end. Andres Reyes took on Marco Cardenas, and Reyes had the better of the action in the early going. Cardenas landed the better shots in the second round and started to see things gradually start to go his way. He continued to build momentum in the third round and then the fireworks went off in the fourth. Cardenas knocked Reyes to the canvas about a minute into the round and it was an absolute slugfest from that point on. Reyes gamely tried to get back into the fight but Cardenas kept the pressure on and kept his momentum through the end of the fight. The judges rightly awarded Cardenas with a unanimous decision for his efforts. There were some intriguing elements in the main event. Thomas Awimbono travelled from Ghana to make his United States debut, bringing 24 victories with 21 knockouts along with him. Mike Gavronski was returning to Tacoma after winning his previous fight on Sept. 10, and surely wanted to provide some action for the hometown crowd, who were clearly and loudly on his side. The fight started very slowly, and it was immediately clear that the anticipated slugging match was not going to take place. I have seen Gavronski before, and he is a slick fighter with lots of hand speed and boxing skills. For whatever reason,

on this night he abandoned those attributes except for some brief flashes here and there, and instead kept the fight on the inside. For most of the 10 rounds, it resembled a brawl, and both fighters resorted to some dirty tactics. By the fifth round, the ref called time and very loudly told both fighters to “knock this (expletive) off or I will take points.” Both men took the warning to heart, and the fight was cleaned up from that point on. Awimbono seemed to be a counter puncher, but Gavronski kept him smothered through most of the fight and there were rounds that went by when Awimbono threw only a handful of punches. Perhaps Gavronski chose to fight in this style to keep his opponent’s power under wraps, but it would have been good to see Gavronski show off his offensive and defensive skills. As the fight went on, it became clear that either Awimbono had no answer for Gavronski, or no clear idea how to change his tactics, and Gavronski had clear sailing to a victory by unanimous decision. While I do not dispute that Gavronski was the winner, one judge had him winning all 10 rounds, and that just did not happen. It is this kind of judging and the sense of hometown favoritism in boxing that sometimes gives it a bad name and can turn people away from the sport. I love boxing, and I would really like to see this aspect of it changed, but as long as judging is allowed to be subjective, we will have results like this. The highly successful Battle at the Boat series will continue after the New Year, with the next fight night scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 20.

TITLE CHASE ENDS FOR TBS CRUSADERS By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

It was a wild ride for the Tacoma Baptist football team this season. After the school dropped down to the 1B classification following the most recent realignment by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, it was going to be a new start for the Crusaders. While they would now play against a new batch of foes, moving to the Sea-Tac League, nearly all of the sports would see no changes and things would be business as usual. The one big change was going to be on the football field. After decades fielding competitive 11-man teams, sometimes even challenging for state championships, the Crusaders would now be sending out three less players as they entered the wild sport of eight-man football. While some football purists scoff at eightman football, it’s usually due to the fact that they haven’t actually witnessed a game. With scores often reaching the 60s and 70s, it is the sort of fast-paced action that often creates wild shootouts and impossible comebacks. As the Crusaders entered their 1B state quarterfinal match against perennial state powerhouse Neah Bay, one of the big questions concerning Tacoma Baptist’s chances was whether or not their Sea-Tac League schedule helped them in the long run, or hindered them come playoff time. Tacoma Baptist finished the season undefeated in Sea-Tac play and came into the game on Thursday, Nov. 17 with a sparkling 10-0 record that was going to be put to the test immediately. Neah Bay entered the game with an 8-1 mark, with their only loss of the season coming at the hands of top-ranked rival Lummi early in the season by a score of 36-30. The Red Devils also came into the game with a load of big game experience. Over the previous five seasons, Neah Bay had won three state championships, finished

second and fell in the state semifinals. This was the sort of foe the Crusaders would be facing, and they were every bit as good as advertised. Neah Bay wasted no time putting points on the scoreboard and wasn’t going to wait around for the Crusaders to work out their early game jitters and tightness. By the time the second quarter began, the Red Devils led 24-0 and it looked like it was going to be a long night of it at a chilly Mt. Tahoma Stadium. The Crusaders would begin shaking things up in the second quarter when junior quarterback P.J. Talen connected with junior tight end Doug Stone for a 14-yard scoring strike on fourth down. The point-after kick was blocked, and Neah Bay led 24-6 with 10:30 left in the second quarter. Neah Bay wasted no time on the ensuing possession, putting together a five-play, 65-yard drive, capped by 23-yard touchdown run up the left side. Neah Bay now led 32-6 with 8:27 left in the first half. After punting the ball away on the next drive, Tacoma Baptist seemed to catch lightning as Talen intercepted a Neah Bay pass and returned it for a touchdown. However, the play was called back on a penalty and Tacoma Baptist would go to work from the Neah Bay 34 yard line. The drive stalled after a couple of quarterback sacks pushed the Crusaders back to the 40 yard line and the ball was turned over on downs following a short pass. Neah Bay would answer again in five plays, covering 70 yards and would take what would be an insurmountable 38-6 lead into halftime. While the Crusaders found some rhythm in the second half, it wasn’t going to be enough to claw their way back into contention. Neah Bay would roll to a 66-26 final score, setting up a rematch with Lummi in the state semifinals. It was a lesson learned by a young Crusader team that will surely pay dividends in years to come.

end up travelling just 10 yards. With a bit of momentum building, the Abes moved the ball into O’Dea territory with just over two minutes left in the half. However, when Sinclair had the football knocked out of his hands and O’Dea recovered, the positive flow quickly moved back to O’Dea and they took advantage of it. It would take just five plays for O’Dea to reach the end-zone, capped by a tough 13-yard touchdown catch by Sam Sanchez, with a Lincoln defender draped perfectly over his back. O’Dea would take a 14-7 lead into halftime. The Fighting Irish came out like a ball of fire to open the third quarter. O’Dea put together an eight-play, 69-yard drive capped by a 13-yard touchdown run up the middle by junior running back Jamyn Patu. The lead was now 21-7 for O’Dea with 8:38 remaining in the third quarter.

will be graduating, the Tigers will be in good hands next season as junior quarterback Hunter Wendling returns. The 3A PCL Offensive Back of the Year award went to senior receiver Max Novak. The loss to the Tigers proved to be a big wake-up call for the Abes, who would go on to crush their first two playoff opponents, before falling to undefeated, topranked O’Dea in the 3A state quarterfinals (see side story). Senior quarterback Joey Sinclair was named the 3A PCL Offensive Player of the Year and senior Quazzel White was named Offensive Lineman of the Year. While Sinclair will be gone, the Abes will return some significant talent

Lincoln looked like they were going to answer on the next drive. The Abes rattled off a 10-play drive, marching down to the O’Dea 26 yard line. On fourth and four, Kwon busted a short run up the middle and the initial spot and call by the official ruled it a first down for the Abes. O’Dea requested a measurement by the sideline markers and when the 10 yards were stretched end to end, the Abes had fallen perhaps an inch short of first down. However, there was no packing it in for the Abes as the defense stuck it to O’Dea on the next possession, forcing a punt after six plays. If Lincoln was going to get back into this game against the top-ranked 3A team in the state, it was going to have happen soon. The way O’Dea was chewing up the clock with their ground game was not going to be leaving much potential time left on the clock for a comeback. Lincoln would kick it into gear, closing out the third quarter and entering the fourth on a much-earned 12-play, 86-yard drive ending in a two-yard smash up the gut by Lovelace on fourth down. The Abes had

trimmed the O’Dea lead to 21-14 with 9:50 remaining in the game. The best of the best always seem to bounce back, and that’s exactly what O’Dea did on the ensuing drive. Following a big kick-off return to the Lincoln 45 yard line, O’Dea would need just five plays to find the end-zone, as Patu took a handoff over the right end, weaved his way through tacklers and scored from 18 yards out. O’Dea was now up 28-14 with just 6:46 left in the game. Cool and calm, the Abes went straight back to business on the next drive and wasted little time answering the Fighting Irish. With the ball at the 29 yard line, Sinclair hoisted a pass toward the end-zone for junior receiver Kavon Holden. As the ball reached Holden, two O’Dea defenders crashed in on the receiver with an incredible impact. When the Abe popped back up off the turf, he still had the football in his hands and the referees arms were in the air. Lincoln was back in the ball game, trailing 28-20, following a point-after kick that sailed just outside the left upright. O’Dea would get the ball back with

5:40 left in the game and looked to eat up as much clock as possible. The Lincoln Abe defense was going to be having none of it, as they held the Fighting Irish to no gain on three plays, forcing the punt. With 3:53 left, it was getting down to crunch time for the Abes. It wasn’t going to be in the cards for Lincoln as they drove the ball to the O’Dea 31 yard line and that’s where things stopped. Four straight passes would fall incomplete, with O’Dea defenders swarming to the ball and breaking up two of the attempts. O’Dea would get the ball back with three minutes remaining and successfully ran out the clock. The final statistics showed just how close this game was. O’Dea gained 371 yards of total offense to Lincoln’s 355 yards. The deciding factor was easily the 31 carries and 255 yards rushing by Patu. The Abes finished the season as the champions of the 3A Pierce County League with an overall record of 9-3. O’Dea (120) moves on to the state semifinals against Meadowdale (10-2).

next season. Junior running back Tristian Kwon (1,665 yards and 16 touchdowns) could very well become a featured back at the state level if he can stay healthy. Every year it looks like the Bellarmine Lions are going to slip a little and find themselves in a sort of reload or rebuilding season. In recent years, this has yet to happen. While entering play in the new-look and very tough 4A South Puget Sound League, the Lions gave as good as they got and found themselves with another ticket to the playoffs. The Lions would open the postseason delivering a 17-2 hammer job on the road against Todd Beamer. Lightning nearly struck again for the Lions the following week at undefeated Lake Stevens, but the Vikings pulled off the comeback in the final minute for a 35-28 final. The smallest school in Tacoma also fielded the smallest football team. Now

playing eight-man football at the 1B state level, Tacoma Baptist had an incredible first season. The Crusaders finished the regular season as the champions of the Sea-Tac League and entered the playoffs as a bit of an unknown for the rest of the field. Despite losing to powerhouse Neah Bay in the 1B state quarterfinals, the Crusaders outscored their opponents by a total of 589 to 176. Junior quarterback P.J. Talen was named the Most Valuable Player of the Sea-Tac. 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 are just as deserving of a first-team reward. However, in reality there is only so

many slots available to fill. We feel that our process is much better and altogether a fair shake for the athletes who have worked so hard for their respective teams. The Tacoma Weekly gathers together the best of the best from the 4A SPSL, 3A PCL, 2A SPSL, 2B Pacific and 1B SeaTac leagues. All of the first, second and honorable-mention selections are put into a draft pool and then we select one player, back and forth, for each All-City team. Our result is two teams of all-stars made up of the best football players the City of Destiny had to offer this season. We’ve also decided to continue naming the teams the Grit City Grinders and the Commencement Bay Blitz, since they capture the local flavor. We’re pretty sure that if the two teams were to face one another on the gridiron, it would be a battle for the ages. Discounts for veterans, first responders, law enforcement, active military.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Puyallup actress Sarah Butler comes home to discuss new film “Before the Sun Exploded”

PHOTO BY SEAN WEBLEY

INDIE FILM. Puyallup Native Sarah Butler appears with co-star Bill Dawes in the new film

“Before the Sun Explodes.” The movie – directed and co-written by Debra Eisenstadt – will be shown at the Grand Cinema on Dec. 3 followed by a Q & A with its star. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

ctress Sarah Butler has been pretty busy in Hollywood since she graduated from Puyallup’s Rogers High School in 2003. She tangled with sadistic townies in the 2010 remake of horror cult classic “I Spit On Your Grave.” She learned it’s sometimes better to take the stairs in the 2014 thriller “Free Fall.” And more recently, fans may have spotted her on ABC-TV’s hit series, “Grey’s Anatomy.” (She plays Danielle on the Nov. 17 episode, “You Haven’t Done Nothin’,” for anyone who wants to pull it up on Amazon Video.) But none of that compares to finally being able to showcase one of her projects at home. Butler will make an appearance after a screening of her new film, “Before the Sun Explodes,” which will shown at 6:45 p.m., Dec. 3 at the Grand Cinema, 606 S. Fawcett Ave. “I wanted to be able to share something that I’m really proud of with my family and friends back home,” she said earlier this week. “They’ve been begging, ‘When will one of your films show in a theater here?’ So I made it happen,” she added, laughing. Earlier this week, Butler discussed the project – in which she co-stars with comedian Bill Dawes – and revealed details of a thriller she wrote, which – if all goes according to plan – could turn her into a mainstream action star. TACOMA WEEKLY: How did you get started in acting while you were here? BUTLER: Besides doing all the productions in high school, which included a really nice production of “My Fair Lady” … I went and auditioned for Tacoma Little Theater and ended up being a chorus girl in their production of “South Pacific.” Then I squeezed in another production at Tacoma Musical Playhouse, playing Liesl in “The

Sound of Music.” I actually completed some of my intern hours from my senior project at the Tacoma Musical Playhouse, as well, while they were having their kids’ summer camp. (Company founder) John Rake knows me really well. We spent a lot of time together over a couple of summers. TW: Where did all that take you? BUTLER: I ended up getting accepted into USC . … From that point, I was studying, but I also auditioned for the role of the princesses at Disneyland because my good friend, Jeff Adams, whose mom did all the costumes for all of our productions – she’s a costume designer, Peggy Adams – he had moved down to California, and he was working as Woody. I did it, so I was working as Belle at Disneyland. TW: Are you talking about a production or one of the actors who interact with the visitors? BUTLER: Yes, it’s almost like being an improv actor. You’ve gotta be in the moment and responding but stay in character. They take it very seriously. You cannot break character, and you can be fired for even a little transgression there. It was good practice – actually, better practice than some of my classes at USC. So eventually, I ended up dropping out. I just didn’t feel that education was getting me closer to my goal, which was now to be a television and film actress. From that point on, honestly, it’s just been climbing up one rung of the ladder at a time and making a little progress here and there until finally I can say I am a full-time actress. It took maybe 10 years of being active in the industry to get to that point, but I’m here.

BUTLER: I had met friends through another friend while hiking, which is how a lot of business is done in L.A. I think he just liked that I was – in his words – kind and down-toearth and talented, and he wanted people like that to succeed. He told me he was gonna look out for me, which is something you hear all the time down here. But this guy actually did. His name is J. Chris Newberg. He’s a fantastic standup comedian. J. Chris introduced me to Bill (“Sun Exploded” actor Dawes) and he said that they were having an extremely difficult time finding their leading lady ‘cause there had to be a really unique set of traits in this person. I guess I was lucky. No. 1, I had some of the traits they were looking for. No. 2, I read the script, and based on the character development they had already done (and) the incredible dialogue … I was immediately drawn to it. I was actually shooting at the time. … I was shooting 12-hour days on (Lifetime movie) “Nightmare Nurse” when I put together my audition tape. Based on that tape, they brought me in and started to work with me on bringing my own personality to my character, Holly.

TW: How did you get involved, and who do you play?

TW: What is the story about? BUTLER: Basically, it takes place over one night and the following day. It follows a stand-up comedian who’s sort of had his moment and is hanging onto it while his wife is now the breadwinner and he stays home with their two kids. He’s really feeling lost, and his wife gets upset with him. She comes home drunk and tells, “If you’re gonna go to your show, then just don’t come home.” So it follows him in that night and how he just feels very helpless when, all of a sudden, this girl pops into his life.

Casino at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25. He will be joined by fellow Vietnamese pop stars Huong Thuy, Dan Nguyen, Nguyen Hong Nhung, Ha Thanh Xuan, Phuong Thao, and MC Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen. Construction is currently taking place near the EQC I-5 entrance, located at 2024 E. 29th St. If you are planning on attending an event, it is strongly recommend allowing additional time for travel and parking.

TW: So you’re coming here for a film called “Before the Sun Explodes.” BUTLER: Yes.

TW: Holly, I presume. BUTLER: Yes, and she kind of takes him on this roller coaster ride. … The title “Before the Sun Explodes” essentially is leading the viewer to decide in the end if this night out with this girl is going to be the end of Ken. Or will it be the rebirth of Ken? TW: That’s all exciting. So things seem to be coming together for you. BUTLER: Yeah, they are. It’s been a long road, after 10 years of really putting down my head and doing the work and supporting myself with supplementary jobs. For about a year and a half now, I haven’t worked anywhere else. I’m acting. I wrote my first script. It’s been optioned, and we’re basically wrapping up the development phase on that. We’re gonna talk about budgets and schedules soon which leaves that completely open to investors coming in. That’s a crime thriller that I’ll be starring in as a female vigilante. It’s kind of like “Taken,” almost, but with a female lead. It’s set up to be a franchise where, in each installment, my character will wind up in a different place in the world to save other victims of senseless crime. TW: So you are the Liam Neeson-type character. BUTLER: That’s right. (She chuckles.) That’s what I’m hoping for. It’s been getting some good response from people in the industry here. We’ve gotten some good informal offers for distribution. So I’m really enjoying the process and hoping that it continues, and that we actually get to go through with this.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

Federal, regional, state and local leaders gathered with the Puyallup Tribal Council to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC) in the spring of 2015. Joining in on the event were (back row from left): former Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon.Â

The most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians continues to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care of not only its

own membership, but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,100 people that work in the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

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

From sponsoring local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the generous people,â&#x20AC;? the meaning of the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Puyallup.â&#x20AC;?

SALISH CANCER CENTER A place where healing begins On April 7, 2015, the ribbon was officially cut at the grand opening of the Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Housed in the Puyallup Tribal Integrative Medicine building in Fife, SCC is a non-profit venture of the Puyallup Tribe and is the first tribally-owned cancer center in Indian Country and the United States. This state-of-the art facility combines conventional cancer treatment (chemotherapy) and integrative oncology (naturopathic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Native healers and acupuncture) to create a truly modern oncology practice. As the indigenous keepers of the Puyallup Tribe Indian Reservation, the Puyallup Tribe has a strong ancestral bond with nature and creation, and this is reflected in the type of care SCC patients receive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; focusing on the mind, body, and spirit using lifestyle, nutrition and botanical medicine that blends quite well with modern oncology practices and produces a foundation for providing innovative cancer treatment. At the ribbon cutting, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee praised Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud and the entire Tribal Council for making their vision for SCC a reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is such a delightful day, not just for the Puyallup Nation, but for the state of Washington, because this is a center that is going to embrace health for the entire state of Washington and the Puyallup Nation all at the same time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, it is a real achieve-

ment to know that the first tribally-owned and operated oncology center in the United States is right here in the Puyallup Nation. This is something for the whole state of Washington to be very proud of.â&#x20AC;? The SCC care team is delighted to have medical oncologist Dr. Eiko Klimant on board as medical director, as he joined the team just this year. This spring, Dr. Krisstina Gowin, medical oncologist from Mayo Clinic in Arizona, will also be joining the SCC care team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to create a meaningful experience for the patient and their caregivers, which includes creating conditions and finding therapies to help assure the best possible outcome for each individual patient,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Klimant said.

Puyallup Tribal Member David Duenas offered up a Sundance song of sacrifice and honor at the Salish Cancer Center ribbon cutting.

Dr. Klimant was most recently the Medical Director of Integrative Oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia. He is board certified in medical oncology and internal medicine, as well as hospice, palliative medicine and integrative medicine. He has extensive clinical experience in the management of pancreatic, breast, lung and brain cancers. Dr. Klimant is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Physicians and the Society for Integrative Oncology. He is fluent in English, German and French. At SCC, Dr. Klimant works within a multidisciplinary team to provide patient-centered cancer care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The integrative care model puts the patient at the center. Patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs are addressed on multiple levels, including innovative scientific cancer treatment, spiritual and psychological support, naturopathic medicine and an individualized nutritional program,â&#x20AC;? he said. While a cancer diagnosis can be the most frightening thing a person has to face and is often all consuming for patients and their care providers, SCC stands as a mighty protector and healer for those who have been told there is nothing more that can be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a battle against this disease, only now our warriors are our doctors, nurses, lab technicians and people who are in the health profession world,â&#x20AC;? said Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our warriors are going to be armed with the best medicine that can be, whether it exists now or down the road. This is not about making money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is a non-profit organization thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedicated to the saving of lives.â&#x20AC;? Learn more at www.SalishCancerCenter.com.

Rainier Dental, a dentistry with offices in Tacoma, Bonney Lake, Sumner and Puyallup, is proud to welcome its newest family member, Dr. Chris Bae. Dr. Bae has been in private practice for more than 17 years and has experience in every area of general dentistry, including oral surgery, endodontics and Invisalign. He began his journey in 1999, where after getting his degree from Boston University, he joined his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice. He spent the early part of his career working with his brother, but moved on in 2007. From there, Bae continued to work in the Washington area before ending up at Rainier Dental. Tacoma was the first stop for Baeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family when he immigrated to America in the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and he is happy to return to his old stomping ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m originally from Korea and came to the United States, to Tacoma, in 1979-1980. We only spent a short time here, but I always come back to it, thinking about Ivan the Gorilla and such. It also had a big Korean population. I had an opportunity at the Tacoma office and I took it,â&#x20AC;? Bae said. Just like when he was a kid, Bae believes the people of Tacoma are genuine and kind, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to work anywhere else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people here are more genuine, really caring people, close family, and I like that about Tacoma versus Seattle or Bellevue,â&#x20AC;? Bae said. Bae tries his best to reciprocate this generosity, and has a policy of always being as open with his customers as he can be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an honest person.

patterns) and captures the complexity of the way a simple geometric pattern becomes an object of fascination when it is piled, bunched, draped, folded, creased, pleated, crumpled or heaped up. A variety of these works are currently on display at The Handforth Gallery (located within the main branch of the Tacoma Public Library.) Entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lines,â&#x20AC;? the show features Marcavageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent excursions into new forms of etching techniques, which she adds to her repertoire to go alongside her mastery of the screen print. Many of the works combine etching with screen-print, with some dazzling results. The textile configurations are shown devoid of any background. The mind recognizes the image as a pile of striped cloth, yet the print is also an object that is almost totally abstract. Stripes and squares make for a cold geometry, yet the crumpling of the textile gives everything an organic feel. Marcavage also uses a pared down palette of bright colors that make her designs

pop in a way that strikes the fancy. A professor of printmaking at University of Puget Sound, Marcavage earned her BFA from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her work is no doubt familiar to Tacoma audiences from showings at Tacoma Art Museum, Woolworth Windows and Kittredge Galley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Linesâ&#x20AC;? is a charming, uplifting display of the printmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art. Some of the small etchings are like precious gems. Works like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Multiply,â&#x20AC;? with shapes of rich color neatly outlined like illustrations in a story book, enliven the overall mix. Marcavage is perhaps at her finest with virtuoso mixings of screen print and etching techniques. This brilliant show runs through Dec. 31. Get out there and give it a look.

Fabrics, covered with geometrical, floral or other complex patterns, present the artist with difficulty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially when that busy pattern is further complicated by its being wrapped around the volumes of the human body, flung over a table top or draped down a vertical surface. Major features of the visual landscape of our daily lives, textiles are rarely experienced in a straightforward way. Rather, they are most often encountered folded, creased, bunched, heaped, rumpled, crumpled and otherwise wrinkled. Over the centuries, artists have been forced to deal with the visual complexity of textiles in their representations of the visual world. Yet, for all the enlivening, enriching presence that a textile pattern brings to a composition, these textiles often play only a background role â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vital yet usually unremarked upon as a feature of a pictorial scene. Tacoma artist Janet Marcavage, however, has zeroed in on textiles as the focus of her excursions into the printmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art. She has studied the ways in which artists through the ages have managed to convey the variety of textiles that clothe, decorate, shelter and define us. In her work, Marcavage isolates the textiles themselves (most often striped or crisscrossing

Tacoma Life Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Singing Christmas Treeâ&#x20AC;? returns for the 54th time this year, with a new story called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Christmas Keyâ&#x20AC;? to warm hearts and lift spirits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a light-hearted and whimsical play,â&#x20AC;? says lead Pastor Dean Curry. In a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Singing Christmas Treeâ&#x20AC;? production, church choirs perform in a Broadway-like musical celebration while standing inside a Christmas tree platform that reaches to the ceiling. There will be singing, dancing, and lights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 100,000 for Life Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production. The production, which kicked off in November 2015 with some serious coordination, works with about 175 musicians and performers, and another 100 volunteers and staff to deliver this inspirational performance. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance is set at Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toy Store. Toys and employees alike are excited about the anticipated unveiling of

HOWLING. Chris Cornell of Soundgarden is now part of Temple of the Dog, which performed at Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paramount Theater Nov. 20. "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Before Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were household names there was Andew Wood. Many felt that his band, Mother Love Bone, was destined to turn a spotlight on Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning music scene, but the singer infamously died of a heroin overdose in 1990 just weeks before the release of his bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apple.â&#x20AC;? Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate, Soundgardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Cornell, processed his feelings through song. He recruited band mate Matt Cameron and Mother Love Boneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike McCready, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, guys who would soon become world famous with their next project, Pearl Jam. The result was Temple of the Dog, a grunge supergroup before the genre truly had superstars. Sunday night, they were back on stage together at Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paramount Theater celebrating their friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy and the eponymous album they released just as the regional rock scene was going nuclear 25 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was really full of life,â&#x20AC;? Cornell said of Wood, emerging alone for the first of two encores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time he walked into a room he made everyone feel good. He made you laugh.â&#x20AC;? By keeping Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory alive â&#x20AC;&#x153;our main objective has been met,â&#x20AC;? he added. This was the heartfelt intro to Mother Love Boneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man of Golden Words,â&#x20AC;? a ballad from which Temple of the Dog takes its name. With elements of Pink Floydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comfortably Numbâ&#x20AC;? woven in, it was among the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most poignant selections. Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-hour set unfolded like an episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;VH1 Storytellers,â&#x20AC;? with Cornell revealing the inspirations for many songs and recalling the days when he and Wood shared a twobedroom house on Capitol Hill. Fans learned, for example, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Saviorâ&#x20AC;? was inspired by the radio in Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old Ford Galaxy, which only seemed to pick up religious programming; that Mother Love Boneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stargazerâ&#x20AC;? had filled a young Cornell with envy; and that

his own solo number, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seasons,â&#x20AC;? was inspired by titles Ament had jotted down for an imaginary soundtrack during the filming of Cameron Crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cult classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Singles.â&#x20AC;? Cornell sounded the most palpably vulnerable on the latter, that performance worth the prices of admission by itself. Among other highlights was the raucous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four Walled World,â&#x20AC;? a song Cornell figured the hometown crowd would easily get since it was about the cabin fever that takes hold during gloomy, Northwest winters. Equally well-received was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunger Strike,â&#x20AC;? the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only single and a song that introduced many to Pearl Jamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eddie Vedder. Fans stared intently into the backstage darkness, hoping Vedder might saunter out to sing his part. No such luck, but they still kept singing along at the top of their lungs. And then there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;River of Deceitâ&#x20AC;? by the other grunge super-group, Mad Season, a band Cornell described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard to listen to for a lot of reasons.â&#x20AC;? Though not mentioned by name, it was a nod to Alice in Chains and Mad Season singer, Layne Staley, who succumbed to his own addictions in 2002. Temple of the Dog and Mother Love Bone released just one album each, so the band filled a good portion of its twohour set with some killer covers. Towards the end, they made the show feel a bit like jam night, but it also helped de-emphasize the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic roots. Cornell dedicated a groovy rendition of Freeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Moverâ&#x20AC;? to musician friends who rooted for the World Series-winning Chicago Cubs, Vedder and Audioslaveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Morello among them. There were breathtaking deliveries of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)â&#x20AC;? and Black Sabbathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;War Pigs.â&#x20AC;? But among the most surprising choices was Syd Barrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baby Lemonade,â&#x20AC;? among the â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredible, irreplaceable, weird musicâ&#x20AC;? the late Pink Floyd founder recorded before retreating into decades of seclusion. The Bay Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fantastic Negrito was an unusual opener for a grunge show in that the band delivered

a blend of funk, blues, soul and gospel that fell somewhere on the spectrum between Sly and the Family Stone and Fishbone. The band delivered populistthemed jams from its new album â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Days of Oakland,â&#x20AC;? and also notably played a soulful rendition of folk standard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Girl/In the Pines.â&#x20AC;? Gen-Xers best know that one as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where Did You Sleep Last Night?â&#x20AC;? from Nirvanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;MTV Unpluggedâ&#x20AC;? album, which is based on Leadbellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of a song that dates back to the 19th century. Front man Xavier Dphrepaulezz dedicated Negritoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the strongest people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever known, the women that raised meâ&#x20AC;? and updated lyrics with a Black Lives Matter theme: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raised that child by yourself, and the policemen shot him down.â&#x20AC;? The band was not well known, but it seemed to pique the interest of many in the room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel loved,â&#x20AC;? Dphrepaulezz said, thanking Temple of the Dog towards the end of the set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea we were worthy.â&#x20AC;? Find more photos and set list at tacomaweekly. com.
