Setting up shop near the Tacoma Dome on that rainy, cold and windy morning, the line of people seeking help remained constant into the afternoon. The giveaway items included lots of clothing, especially warm coats and sweaters, hats, gloves and socks; tarps and blankets to help fend off wet and cold weather; toiletries, toothbrushes and toothpaste; food items, such

Pierce County’s development team has released architectural renderings of the planned administrative office building as contractors begin removing bricks from the vacant Puget Sound Hospital. Unknown is how the bricks can be reused as part of the new project. The brick salvaging will run into next week and will be done by Wright Runstad & Co, which will then oversee the overall construction of what will become a governmental office center to consolidate general county services into one building rather than in leased spaces that are in need of costly repairs. Pierce County mothballed the former hospital in 2010 and put it up for sale. The sluggish economy and rising repair costs at other government offices prompted County Executive Pat McCarthy to seek other uses for the site. Born from that need came her proposal for a new home for the county offices, creating efficiencies in staffing and service-delivery as well as providing convenient “one-stop shopping” for people

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

So. 48th and Orchard Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

The application deadline is Dec. 12 for the six-monthlong experiential course, which focuses on the processes of operating a business or social movement, including financing, marketing and selling the product or service idea. Students also receive instruction from business mentors, guest lecturers and field trips. In its second year, the academic YEA! partnership with the chamber and Tacoma Public Schools teaches students to brainstorm business ideas, write a business plan, pitch potential investors, obtain funding and launch their own company all while earning high school credit. Last school year, seven Tacoma Public Schools high school students and one Bellarmine Preparatory School student received YEA! diplomas. Scholarships are available for the tuition-based program that takes place Tuesday evenings from Jan. 6 through June 2, 2015, at University of Washington Tacoma. The application process requires an application form, student responses to questions and an essay, letter of recommendation, school transcript and a personal interview. Application fee is $10. Find complete details about YEA! on Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber’s website or by contacting YEA! program manager Lynnette Buffington at (253) 682-1726. TCC HOLDS STUDENT POTTERY SALE, SILENT AUCTION Students at Tacoma Community College will hold a pottery sale and silent auction on Friday, Dec. 5 from noon-7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will be held in the TCC Senate Room, Building 11, 6501 S. 19th St. For more information call (253) 566-5346. FRIENDS OF THE HOLIDAYS HOLDS MUSIC BENEFIT Friends of the Holidays, a 100 percent volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to providing meals to Pierce County low-income families during the December holiday season, is now in its 16th year and will be hosting a music benefit for 2014. Through the Friends’ first 15 years, the organization has provided support to more than 5,200 families throughout this region as well as Emergency Food Network and St. Leo’s Food Connection. This year, Friends of the Holidays will be holding one event to support the cause and assist as many families as possible. In order to do this, the Friends are dependent upon the success of the benefit and raffle. Several local musicians give their time and talent for the event. Area merchants and community members donate items for the raffle. The benefit will be Dec. 7 at the historic Swiss Tavern. The following performers appear: Eugenie Jones, Stonepony, The Moon Spinners, Richard Allen & the Louisiana Experience, The Diamond Experience and Emily Randolph & Oaklawn. The event will start at 2 p.m. Suggested donation at the door will be $10. Contact Jon Sybert at (253) 307-2817 with any questions. HISTORICAL SOCIETY OPENS NEW EXHIBIT On Dec. 8 Tacoma Historical Society will open “Greetings from Tacoma: Souvenirs and Boosterism,� an exhibit featuring souvenirs from Tacoma’s icons and attractions and a variety of Tacoma booster booklets from a century past. Included in the exhibit will be seven salvaged figures from Tacoma’s beloved Never Never Land. The exhibit opening, free and open to the public, will be at the Tacoma Historical Society Museum, 919 Pacific Ave., in the historic Provident Building, from 6-8 p.m. The exhibit runs through March. As Tacoma has grown and changed, her souvenir items have promoted the current favorite. Along with many schools, parks, churches and hospitals, Tacoma’s keepsakes have featured St. Peter’s Church and bell tower, City Hall, Stadium Bowl, Union Station, Cheney Stadium and the Tacoma Dome. “Tacoma is fortunate that many of her early landmarks still survive,� said Bill Baarsma, Tacoma Historical Society president. “Stadium High School will be available for another generation of Tacoma students to come, and Union Station is a working example of a community supporting historic preservation. Tacoma Historical Society is continuing that tradition by preserving and presenting artifacts such as the promotional materials created by Tacoma’s Booster Club in the early 1900s.� However, not all of Tacoma’s landmarks have been as fortunate. Included in the exhibit will be seven storybook figures from the former Never Never Land in Point Defiance Park, one of three similar enchanted forest parks created by Vancouver’s Alfred Pettersen in the 1960s. After Never Never Land closed, the fiberglass figures were stored in the basement of the Pagoda at Point Defiance Park. Many were damaged or destroyed when the building suffered an arson fire in April of 2011. “We’re fortunate that a few of the figures were salvaged,� said Melissa McGinnis, historian for Metro Parks Tacoma. “We’re happy to loan them to Tacoma Historical Society so the public can once again view them.� The exhibit will also feature nearly two dozen Never Never Land souvenir banks and figurines from the personal collection of Kyle Smith, founder of Tacoma’s Smith-Western Company. “As we prepared this exhibit we realized it was about much more than collecting plates and spoons and postcards,� said exhibit curator Deb Freedman. “It’s about preserving memories. Whether we are visiting or call Tacoma home, we take pictures and buy souvenirs to help us remember a person, a place, an experience. After that person or place is gone, the photos and memories are all we have.� Tacoma Historical Society invites the public to share their personal Never Never Land memories and photos on the Society’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ tacomahistoricalsociety. And, yes, Tacoma Historical Society’s retail store carries a variety of Tacoma-related books, gift items and souvenirs to help preserve your own memories. SCOPING WORK BEGINS FOR TIRE REMOVAL AT LES DAVIS PARK Working jointly with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources and the Nisqually Tribe, the City of Tacoma is taking proactive steps to ensure the continued health of life in Tacoma’s waterways. In December, a professional dive team from the Nisqually Tribe will conduct an underwater survey to determine what it would take to remove a tire buffer at Les

Davis Marine Park, located on Ruston Way in Tacoma. The tire buffer was implemented years ago to ward divers away from the fishing pier, and could pose environmental risks to the area. “According to the Department of Natural Resources, as tires sit stationary underwater, they could begin to leach contaminants such as petroleum and lead,� said Assistant Division Manager Jennifer Hines from the City of Tacoma’s Public Works Department. “These toxicants have a negative effect on both plant and animal species in the surrounding tidal areas.� The underwater survey is estimated to be completed by the end of December, and the team will then work together to develop a plan for permanent removal of the tire buffer. Additional updates will be available once the removal plan and project timeline have been drafted. Divers are asked to stay at least 100 yards from the fishing pier at all times. “This effort is in keeping with the City’s ongoing commitment to ensure that the waterway remains the asset it has become,� said Hines. “In 2006, the City and its partners completed a $105 million remediation of the Thea Foss Waterway. This work was performed in coordination with an aggressive revitalization of the waterfront corridor. With millions of dollars invested and a legacy on the line, it is imperative that the City of Tacoma do what it can to avoid recontamination of the waterway, especially now that it has emerged as a tremendous economic and environmental asset to the community.�

FULLER CONVICTED OF CABBIE MURDER After deliberating for approximately an hour, on Nov. 26 a Pierce County jury convicted Jaycee Fuller, 37, of first-degree murder for the killing of cab driver Mohamud Ahmed. Prosecutor Mark Lindquist and Deputy Prosecutor Erika Nohavec tried the case, arguing to the jury that Fuller was motivated by financial desperation and his hatred of immigrants. On March 8, 2009, Fuller attempted to rob Ahmed and killed him in a struggle by slitting his throat and stabbing him in the liver. Ahmed was an immigrant from Somalia who came to the United States in search of a better life. In the early morning hours of March 8, 2009, he picked up his last fare, Fuller, in the 6th Avenue area of Tacoma. Police later found Ahmed dead outside of his cab with the meter still running. Ahmed’s throat was cut and he had been stabbed in his side. At the murder scene, police found a Keg restaurant cap. Ahmed’s blood was outside the cap, and the defendant’s DNA was inside the cap. The Keg cap with the defendant’s DNA was the linchpin in a multifaceted case presented by prosecutors, which relied on more than 20 witnesses, video evidence, GPS readings, and DNA. The defendant testified, denying the killing and professing revulsion at the sight of blood. In closing argument, the defendant, representing himself, spoke for nearly four hours. He argued that the evidence was circumstantial, the evidence pointing to him was coincidental or false, and people were out to get him. In a 20-minute rebuttal, Lindquist called this “the unluckiest man alive� defense. Sentencing is set for Dec. 19. The defendant is facing up to 30 years in prison. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE DEADLINE EXTENDED The City of Tacoma, Metro Parks Tacoma and the Port of Tacoma have extended the “Tacoma Green Infrastructure Challenge� entry deadline to Jan.15. The registration deadline remains unchanged and teams are asked to register no later than Dec. 15. “The deadline was extended by a month to allow students to participate over their winter break and to take a little pressure off the teams over the holidays,� said Jessica Knickerbocker, competition coordinator and engineer with the City of Tacoma’s Environmental Services Department. This design competition challenges teams to tackle one of three real-world site designs to showcase sustainable solutions for stormwater runoff. The challenge provides participants an opportunity to receive hands-on learning, networking opportunities, and recognition for their creative and innovative engineering design. Entries are being accepted in three design challenge categories: s )NDUSTRIAL 2EDEVELOPMENT 0ORT OF 4ACOMA s 5RBAN 2EDEVELOPMENT -ETRO 0ARKS 4ACOMA s 'REEN 2OADWAY #ITY OF 4ACOMA The winning team from each category will receive a $5,000 cash prize, and will be featured on Tacoma Report and in Tacoma Today, the City’s e-newsletter. For registration information and contest details, visit cityoftacoma.org/TGIChallenge. FUNDING FOR ARTISTS NOW BEING ACCEPTED The City of Tacoma is now accepting Tacoma Artists Initiative Program (TAIP) funding applications from eligible Tacoma artists who wish to create new artwork and present that work through a free public component. The application deadline is 5 p.m. on Jan. 26. “TAIP is a remarkable program and I am proud that the City offers artists the opportunity to develop innovative work for public benefit,� said Tacoma Arts Commission Chair Traci Kelly. “From traditional art exhibits, music and dance performances, to free ‘how to’ workshops, Tacoma continues to benefit from the creative energy participants contribute to our community.� The Tacoma Arts Commission has allocated $40,000 for TAIP funding, and each selected artist will be awarded $2,500. Funding for TAIP is determined through a competitive application process. A panel comprised of Tacoma Arts Commission members, community members and past TAIP awardees will review applications and make funding recommendations. Those recommendations will go to the Tacoma Arts Commission for approval. All projects selected for TAIP funding must be completed by Dec. 31, 2016. Eligibility extends to artists who are residents of Tacoma, practicing artists who are dedicated to producing artwork on a regular basis, are at least 18 years of age, and not a full-time undergraduate or graduate student in an arts-related degree program. Artists who have received TAIP funding between 2011 and 2014 are not eligible to apply. More details, including information on other eligibility requirements and the application form, are available at cityoftacoma.org/funding. Application forms are also available by calling (253) 591-5191 or emailing nstromavila@cityoftacoma.org. Applicants are encouraged to attend a free workshop, which explains and addresses questions about the application and funding process on Dec. 16, 2014, from 5:30-7 p.m., in the Tacoma Municipal Building (747 Market St., 9th floor, Visibility Center Conference Room).

ARMED ROBBER USES CELL PHONE TO COMMIT CRIME By David Rose

Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

Pierce County detectives need your help identifying an armed pharmacy robber who strikes a close resemblance to Johnny Depp’s character in the movie “Fear and Loathing in DAVID ROSE Las Vegas.” The thief wore sunglasses and a round, fisherman-style hat when he terrified the clerk at a Rite Aid in South Hill earlier this month. He showed her a note on his cell phone and demanded drugs. He lifted his shirt and showed her the gun in his waistband to emphasize his seriousness. “In this particular case, take modern day technology: This guy using a cell phone to put a note on it that it’s a robbery. That’s the first of that I’ve ever heard of,” says Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer. “And then secondly showing his gun, which means he’s serious. If he’s doing that, obviously you want to give up the stuff and not get hurt but people who do these types of robberies are the ones that keep on doing until they get caught because they’re feeding a habit.” The South Hill case is very similar to one I featured on Washington’s Most Wanted last August in Kent. “While at the pharmacy counter he has a phone in hand,” said Det. Melanie Frazier of the Kent Police Department. “The tech goes to talk with him and he doesn’t say anything; he produces a phone and shows there’s some type of note or something on the screen. She looks at it and realizes the writing on it says something to the Effect that ‘this is a robbery, I have a gun, and I will shoot.’” At the time, Frazier said she was concerned that because he got away with it once, he might try again. It appears to be the same suspect but investigators don’t know for sure. Detectives think he’s white, in his 20’s, about 5-feet, 10-inches tall and 170 pounds. If you know who he is, call Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. All calls are anonymous and there is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest. The case will be featured on Washington’s Most Wanted Friday night at 9:30 p.m. on JOE TV and 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.

Here’s a tip: If you have had so much to drink that you can’t even keep your eyes open, you’re probably not good to drive. A driver found this out the hard way on Nov. 26 when he pulled over on ‘G’ Street for a quick rest. A concerned citizen called police about the vehicle after it sat with its headlights on for over 20 minutes. When an officer approached the vehicle, he found the driver asleep inside, the car in drive, and the man’s foot resting leisurely on the brake. The officer was able to turn off the vehicle before trying to wake the man, which took several attempts. After the man woke up, he claimed he was driving with his girlfriend (motioning to the empty passenger seat) and tried to hand the officer his cell phone when asked for his license. This odd behavior, coupled with the smell of alcohol in the car, gave the officer reason to believe the man might be intoxicated. The man refused to take any voluntary tests, and when his name was run the officer discovered that the man had previous convictions for a DUI and was required to use an ignition interlock device, which he did not have. The man was then transported and booked into Fife jail. For some criminals, if they’re going down, they’re going down hard. A woman causing a disturbance on McKinley Avenue on Nov. 27 was stopped by an officer when she decided to play a little game with her name. After finding out that she didn’t have any kind of identification, the officer asked for her to give her name, which she did…after correcting herself on the spelling. Suspicious, the officer ran her name and found no matching identity. The woman continued to give different last names, but kept her first and middle name the same every round. Eventually, the officer just ran a search of her first and middle name, which found her instantly. In response, the criminal responded, “Ha ha, I wasted your f****** time.” The woman was booked into Fife jail for obstruction. Compiled by Derek Shuck

KEEP GUTTERS CLEAR TO AVOID SEASONAL FLOODING By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The fact that Stadium Bowl was covered with several feet of water during a recent downpour marks the official opening of flooding season in Tacoma. A few simple things can keep streets clear and basements dry. That is, if you can get a little wet. Each year, the area gets about 40 inches of rain, with nearly four inches of it falling within a single day. When that much rain comes down that fast, the city’s stormwater system can get overwhelmed “We end up with more flooding from gutters getting clogged more than anything else,� Public Works Director Kurtis Kingsolver said. “That is really our biggest problem.� The city’s stormwater system was designed for a steady schedule of rain during the fall and winter months, from November to March, with extra capacity for heavy rains. Rain levels in recent years, however, have been more intense. That leads to flooding, especially when gutters are clogged with leaves from trees along the street. “We just have had some unusual weather situations lately,� Kingsolver said. Public Works crews keep gutters clear as best they can, but Tacoma has more than 17,000 storm drains and 500 miles of storm pipes to manage, so the city can’t get to them all during heavy rains. Tacomans can help out by keeping gutters near their businesses and residences clear of leaves and trash, so water can freely enter the storm drains. “It is just so helpful to keep those gutters clear,� Kingsolver said. “People have been really great about that, and it is by far the biggest help. It doesn’t take a lot of rain to bring leaves down and clog those gutters.� The recent floods are also a reminder that people should be prepared for emergencies, including seven days of food, water, batteries and shelter if power goes out or rain causes flooding, especially around rivers, lakes and low-lying areas. “Flood season in Pierce County is between November and March,� said Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy. “Everyone should get ready and have a plan for flood season, whether or not they live near a river or a creek.� Residents can prepare by purchasing flood insurance, keeping storm drains clear of debris and leaves, and storing valuables and household chemicals above flood levels. Individuals are also encouraged to create a family plan that identifies a safe route from their home, school and work to high ground, a meeting place for family members in case they are separated and an out-of-state contact to call if local phone lines are busy or down.

EASY FIX. Standing water around gutters can lead to property damage if you don’t take a few minutes during heavy rains to keep gutters clear.

Our views of rain have changed through history Millennium dwellers of the Pacific Northwest would never believe Eastern land developers touted Washington’s weather as a major selling point 150 years ago. Jokes about Northwesterners not tanning but rusting or living like ducks date back more than a century. But early boosters of Northwest living looked at the weather and saw dollars. They dubbed the area the “Mediterranean of America� and the “Rhine District of America� in hopes the name would make the Northwest more desirable. One such promoter was pioneer Peter Burnett. He yelled high and low in 1840 that he preferred the constant drizzle in the Northwest to the periodic downpour and flooding of the Midwest. Other land dealers compared the Northwest’s climate to romantic places around the world. Many of them pointed out that the Washington Territory sat on about the same parallel as Paris and, therefore, has the same climate. Paris is romantic so, by extension, the territory must be romantic. Weather watchers like B.S. Prague studied the climate and concluded in 1893 that the annual rainfall in the Northwest was equal to that of New York and Philadelphia. Those cities aren’t known for their rain, so the Northwest shouldn’t be singled out, Prague argued in his 1893 study. Prague forgot to mention that the Northwest’s rain falls slowly during nine months out of the year. The Eastern metros, however, get their rain over with in half the time. How we measure up: s The Puget Sound area gets an average rainfall of between 35 and 40 inches a year. Other cities with similar annual rainfall include: s Fort Wayne, Ind. gets 35.9 inches a year. s Eureka, Calif, gets 39 inches a year. s Concord, New Hampshire gets almost 37 inches a year. s Cleveland, Ohio gets 37 inches a year. s Geneva, Switzerland gets 35.5 inches a year. s Montreal, Canada gets 37 inches a year. s Chicago, Illinois gets 35.4 inches a year.

Flood Damage Cleanup Tips Remember, it is very important to clean and dry the affected property as quickly as possible. Here are some basic cleaning tips: Wear rubber gloves and shoes. Pumps, wet/dry shop vacuums, buckets, sandbags and floor drain plugs will all help remove or contain the water. Avoid tracking water from flooded areas into other parts of your home. Wash your hands with soap and water after working in flooded areas. Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting. Dry the area and personal property thoroughly using a reliable heat source or by renting a dehumidifier. Remove undamaged items from the area. Be careful not to put wet and dry items together. Extract water from any carpet so you can lift it up and remove the wet padding underneath. If the carpet is in good condition, it can often be cleaned and dried in place or taken to a carpet cleaner for service. However, padding should usually be removed and discarded. Try not to allow wet clothing or linens (both machine-wash and dry-clean items) to sit for more than 24 hours before cleaning. Materials such as concrete, unfinished wood or metal that will not be damaged by chlorine bleach can be sanitized with a solution of 10 percent household bleach in water (one cup of bleach for every 10 cups of water). Please be cautious when using this solution. It is not appropriate for use on fabrics, leather, or other materials that will be affected by bleach. To report stormwater flooding, sewage backups or street flooding, call (253) 591-5585.

A tAx ON bUSINeSS IS A tAx ON YOU By Don C. Brunell Jonathon Gruber recently created a stir with his comments about Obamacare and “the stupidity of the American voter.� Gruber, an MIT economist, was one of the architects of the president’s health reform law. Recently, videotape surfaced of Gruber’s appearances over the past several years in which he described how the drafters of Obamacare used deception and manipulation to get the bill passed. In one venue, Gruber noted that because taxes were a hard sell politically, “This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] did not score the [individual] mandate as taxes.� But when the law was later challenged in court, administration lawyers successfully argued before the Supreme Court that the mandate was a tax. Gruber also acknowledged that supporters of the bill disguised how the program would be paid for – that young, healthy people would pay to finance care for older, sicker people. That’s why there is such an aggressive effort to enroll young people in Obamacare. As Gruber put it: “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass.�

Gruber told another audience that Obamacare’s 40 percent “Cadillac taxâ€? on generous employer-provided health plans – many of them union plans – will ultimately end all employer-provided health coverage. “Over time it’s gonna apply to more and more health-insurance plans,â€? he said. “[The] tax that starts out hitting only 8 percent of the insurance plans essentially amounts over the next 20 years [to] essentially getting rid of the [tax] exclusion for employer-sponsored plans.â€? But Gruber may have actually done taxpayers a favor. In one appearance, he revealed what is an open secret at all levels of government: That a tax on businesses is a hidden tax on consumers. Gruber said that, to make the so-called Cadillac tax more politically palatable, the drafters “mislabeledâ€? it, “calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people, when we all know it’s a tax on people who hold those insurance plans‌. We just tax the insurance companies, they pass on higher prices. It’s a very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter.â€? Politicians are loath to raise taxes on individual voters. Remember the voter-approved initiative that overturned Washington’s car tab tax in 1999? That was a check voters had to write every year, and they felt the pain directly. So, elected

officials prefer to tax businesses instead, knowing full well those businesses will have to pass along the tax to individuals through higher prices wherever possible. Think of that the next time you buy gasoline. In Washington, we’re paying 56 cents in federal and state taxes on every gallon of gasoline; 62 cents on each gallon of diesel. At current prices, that’s about a 20 percent tax. Take a close look at your phone bill. Washington has the highest state tax in the nation on cell phone service – adding up to a whopping 24.42 percent in state and federal taxes. And many cities assess their own cell phone taxes, as well. Many taxpayers enthusiastically support higher taxes on business, not realizing that they, as consumers, will actually pay those taxes. But the politicians know it. While it’s politically risky to openly tax the voters, slipping those taxes through by taxing businesses or phone bills or utility bills – or your insurance company – happens every day. So, the next time elected officials talk about raising taxes on business, pay attention. They’re talking about you. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

WhAt’S ON YOUR Shelf?

As the holiday season descends on us and along with it the frenzy to find the perfect gift, host the best party or decorate to the max, it makes sense to reflect on the simple pleasures of life. One of these is reading. Okay – I admit it – I am biased. My earliest memories are of visiting the local public library, and I happen to be a librarian who is married to a bookseller. Our idea of a good time is to spend our weekends searching used-book stores for first editions. But I challenge you to identify another single activity that is just as accessible, free, fun and inspiring. There is nothing quite like being swept up in a great book. So from one who has spent a career (a lifetime even) surrounded by books, may I offer a simple and free gift idea: a library card. Really. Consider this: Have you stepped into your local library lately? Both Tacoma Public Library and Pierce County Library System offer incredible services and resources, from e-books, to music, to health care information, to job and business support, to homework help and

online classes, to assistance for adult literacy programs. The local library provides a refuge and a bastion of support for the community, and, importantly, it is available to everyone, providing access to information in a variety of formats and languages. Just imagine introducing a child to the joy of reading this holiday season. To the small child, a library is a treasure chest. Visit any children’s section and see kids on the floor curled up with their books. And think of all that you can do. Yes, of course, read aloud to your children – but you don’t have to wait for bedtime. Start a family book club, get the kids to dress up as characters, or use the Internet to expand on what’s in the books. The benefits of reading last a lifetime. Numerous studies have shown that kids who read for pleasure excel academically, and that parental involvement in reading has a positive impact on children’s school grades. Research shows that reading fiction can improve social skills, empathy and understanding. As well, reading reduces stress. One study found that even six minutes of reading is more effective in reducing stress than listening to music or going for a walk, probably

because the distraction of being drawn into a story eases the tension in muscles and the heart. So if the holiday parties, frenzied parking lots and frantic search for the perfect gift start to wear you down, just turn off that cell phone, cozy up with a cup of tea or coffee, and open a book. Think of it as yoga for the mind. Lastly, here’s a small holiday challenge: Once you get that library card and stack some good books on the shelf, forget about taking yet another selfie, and post a “shelfie� on Instagram or Twitter instead. A shelfie? Sure, that’s a close-up photo of what’s on your bookshelf – kind of what is going on inside, not outside, your head. Thanks go to “Arches,� our university’s alumni magazine, for creating the shelfie idea. It’s so compelling that our library is now posting our staff’s shelfies online too. How about it Tacoma? Let’s “break the Internet� not with shameless selfies, but with inspiring shelfies. And the key to getting started is that library card. You could call it the perfect gift. Jane Carlin is director of the Collins Memorial Library at University of Puget Sound.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Thank you for the great write-up for Toy Rescue Mission and Martha Davis (“Yes, Tacoma, there is a Santa Claus and her name is Martha Davis,� TW Nov. 28, 2014). My husband and I are proud to be volunteers for this great organization!

The holiday season is now in full swing, with the completion of the traditional “post Thanksgiving� sales at big box retailers and small business shops around the nation. Known as “Black Friday,� the retail sales that start on the day after Thanksgiving and through the weekend often mark the shift in profitability for retailers. They routinely operate at a loss through 11 months out of the year only to begin to turn a profit – shifting their ledgers from red to black – during the holiday shopping season. That means many retailers of all sizes have to offer deep discounts just to get shoppers through their doors in hopes that the volume of purchases will be enough to bank for the rest of the coming year. It is make or break time. That fact is extra true for small businesses since they rarely have the cash on hand to weather long spells of lean shopping patterns. The promotional effort to shop at local, small businesses rather than the big-box retailers isn’t just a gimmick for a few extra trips to cash registers. It means the difference between a shop-owner staying open, her daughter getting braces, his son going to band camp and food on family tables. And every dollar spent in small shops makes a difference not only to that store but to the community. The magic of spending dollars in local shops can be found in what dollar watchers call “economic multipliers,� involving direct spending, indirect spending and induced spending. Here is how retail economics works: Someone buys an outfit in a shop for $100. That is direct spending between a customer and a shop. That shop then turns around and uses the profit from those sales to pay bills or purchase services. That is indirect spending based on the initial sale. The sales person’s wages, supported by that original sale, then goes to cover a daughter’s holiday shoes and is called “induced spending.� The totality of that spending is the economic impact of that single transaction. Shopping at a chain store lowers that local impact since upward of 90 percent of the revenue of their retail sales is shipped outside of the area to pay investors or dividends for the parent company. Only a fraction of that $100 purchase goes to local wages and local services, limiting the indirect and induced impacts. Economic studies of local spending, on the other hand, show that about half of the dollars spent in small businesses stay in the community through wages and service spending. In rough numbers, each $100 spent at local stores generate about $45 of overall local spending, compared to $14 for big-box chains. Online sales generates almost no local economic impact since the only local wage generated from the sale is that of the person delivering the package to local doorsteps. As America shifts from a manufacturing to a service economy, knowing basic economics of retail spending can mean the difference between growth and stagnation, new band uniforms or another year of hand-me-downs for neighbors along your street. Just making one more purchase in a small shop rather than at the battlefield that is holiday shopping at chain retailers makes a difference. Spend wisely.

still children in our world dying of measles, pneumonia and dehydration. As we enjoy our holidays, we can make a difference for millions of children in our world by making sure vaccines are available to all. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, needs new funding to be able to vaccinate 300 million more children, saving five to six million lives in the process. How can we help? Take a few minutes to call or write your representatives and ask them to support a pledge to Gavi of $250 million a year for the next four years. This will inspire other donors to help Gavi reach its $7.5 billion goal. Vaccines are the ounce of prevention that saves lives and avoids costly pounds of cure. Willie Dickerson Snohomish, Wash.

‘OLD KICKS AND CANNED GOODS’ Kleen Kicks set to clean shoes, feed families By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

K

leen Kicks, the South Sound’s destination for restoring and refreshing athletic shoes, hopes to gather more than 1,000 pairs of donated sneakers and athletic shoes to spruce up and send to Tacoma Rescue Mission and needy families. Nonperishable food is also being collected to feed needy families during the holidays in what the small business is calling its “Old Kicks and Canned Goods” donation drive. Kleen Kicks LLC was founded by Joe H. Perfecto and Kimberly Bernhoft in 2014. After finding that there are no other shoe cleaning service companies in the Northwest, Perfecto decided that the region needed a solution to restoring athletic shoes to “like new” condition, as well as killing all bacteria and other contaminants commonly found in athletic shoes. Kleen Kicks specializes in refreshing otherwise wearable athletic shoes by removing the parade of bacteria and gym grime that soil shoes through a scrubbing and buffing process that removes 99 percent of the smell-creating organisms. Leather creases and scuffs are removed as well so the shoes look almost new at a fraction of the cost of buying a new pair. The process involves hand scrubbing and sanitizing worn shoes and then a blast of hot steam to kill germs. The shoes are then dried on a ski-boot dryer for another blast of bacteria-killing heat. “You can eat off the bottom of these shoes,” said Perfecto, a retired Army hygiene inspector. The company also cleans workout gear and hats as well as carries a variety of workout and active wear apparel from Oakley, Nike, Under Armour, Jordan, Lululemon, and Asics for men and women. As a supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project, Kleen Kicks gives back to the local community year round, with donations of gently worn athletic or tennis shoes to women’s shelters and adoption agencies. Kleen Kicks is located at 2310 Mildred St. W., #113, in University Place. More information is available by calling (253) 625-5801 or visiting kleenkicksllc. com. Food and shoes for the “Old Kicks and Canned Goods” can be dropped off at the store, at Lincoln High School, Pacific Sports and Events Center and Fitness Evolution through Dec. 12.

TACOMANS MARCH TO HIGHLIGHT RACISM By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

PHOTOS BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

UNITED FRONT. About 200 people walked from the County-City Building to Shiloh Baptist Church on Monday to call for discussions about race in America.

While the grand jury decision to not indict Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson following the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown, sparked often hostile protests around the nation, Tacomans chose to walk and talk. Police around the nation, including Seattle, wear riot gear and fire tear gas to control protestors, but Tacoma officers helped block traffic so local protesters would be safe during their uphill march in rush hour traffic. Tacoma Police Chief Don Ramsdell and Mayor Marilyn Strickland led the march, which was organized by Deputy Mayor Victoria Woodards. “We stand together,” Woodards said. “This is what separates us from other cities.” Marcher Cathy Nguyen, who learned about the march from friends and posts on social media, describes herself as a social activist against racism and ignorance. “Black lives matter,” she said. “All life matters.” Janjay Innis walked beside Nguyen and Tiffanny Hammond in hopes that society will openly talk about race relations in America and no longer accept injustice. “It’s time for all of us in the community to indict ourselves for being silent,” Innis said. Bethlehem Baptist Church Pastor Rev. Eric Jackson opened the march with a prayer as well as a call for revolution without destruction. “It’s time for a revolution,” he said. “It don’t mean a revolution where we tear things up. It’s time to do something different. It’s time for change.” Strickland, Ramsdell and Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor talked at the rally at the end of the march of the need for more discussions around the nation concerning race relations and the role community members must play to strengthen their neighborhoods.

tough winter when the fruit trees bloom twice before fall arrives. This kind of knowledge we have learned from our tribal elders, and they are Native ways of knowing things. So we are very enthusiastic and excited to know that the wisdom of our elders will be explored and shared through the funding of this new professorship at the University of WashingtonTacoma.� The Puyallup Tribe and UWT have a vision of a transparent collaboration that values cultural heritage and traditional ways of knowledge alongside innovation and formal instruction. The grant will provide support for innovations in curriculum, research and community engagement, ensuring that the experiences of tribes and tribal peoples enrich the student learning experience.

“This grant from the Puyallup Tribe will help address one of the greatest barriers faced by Native people today – the lack of information and abundance of misinformation the public has about tribes and tribal people.� – Sharon Parker

There is a growing cluster of Native American scholars on the UW-Tacoma faculty, whose careers the grant will foster. “This grant from the Puyallup Tribe will help address one of the greatest barriers faced by Native people today – the lack of information and abundance of misinformation the public has about tribes and tribal people,� said Sharon

heart of the collaboration between UWT and the Puyallup Tribe will be the interaction between the tribal community and the campus community,� he said. “We hope all of our students and faculty will gain a wider perspective on ways of interacting with the world and we are incredibly grateful to the Puyallup Tribe for supporting this transformational vision.�

Auditions open to aspiring musicians with developmental challenges By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Two local non-profit groups are holding auditions for kids with developmental challenges who want to learn how to play music. United by Music and Tacoma Area Coalition for Individuals with Disabilities (TACID) have teamed up for a free party and audition that will be held from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, at the TACID Center, which is located at 6315 S. 19th St., in Tacoma. “We’re hoping to get the word out and get as many kids to show up as we can,� said TACID’s Dan Wilson, who also owns Gig Harbor Music Store. “They can be just about any level, but we’d just like to get some of them out of the wood works, off the wall and into a program that hopefully will benefit everybody.� United by Music was started in the Netherlands in 2005 by health care executive Joris van Wijngaarden. The goal was to give talented people with Down’s syndrome, autism and other developmental challenges the opportunity to learn to play and perform blues music. “He saw a big need,� Wilson said. “Some

Pierce County Sheriff’s Detective Ed Troyer was there helping too, ladling out free cups of hot chocolate and hot soup. “People were so appreciative,� Troyer said. “For some it was the first hot soup they had in a while.� Miller expressed a lot of gratitude for those who came out to lend a hand that day. “I just want to thank all the volunteers that came to help,� she said. “Sharing and caring are so important in our community and I want to thank

You’re gonna sit in a corner and just be quiet while the rest of us get on with our lives.’� Gig Harbor residents Barbara Hammerman and Amanda Gresham founded United by Music North America in 2012. In March, Puget Sound Area of WA was announced as the next location for launching a full program of auditions, production and performance opportunities. A pair of program mentors will be on hand to perform and share their stories. Tacoma singer-songwriter Stephanie Ann Johnson is best known as a contestant on season five of NBC-TV’s “The Voice,� and she will perform with her band, Northern Pacific. Joining them on the bill will be blues powerhouse Candye Kane, who helped van Wijngaarden tailor the program to the United States.

The new complex will cost $90 million and span 300,000 square feet that will be offices to about 1,300 county employees, including the Pierce County Health Department. Although costs of the nine-story building are still in flux as design plans are finalized, the County could come close to breaking even on the first day of occupancy, based on the amount of money to be saved on rented office space and other efficiencies allowed by the consolidation of offices as early as November 2016.

Hayes struck fear in defenses, quarterbacks, punters, kickers and anyone carrying the ball in his vicinity. Lincoln’s go-to receiver Jayson Williams hauled in 66 passes for 1,266 yards and 11 TDs. Life Christian’s Wyatt Dunlap scored 25 touchdowns with the help of stud lineman Jackson McKenna-Kier. Chris “Scooby” Reynolds was a gamechanger for Foss on both sides of the ball. Wilson’s Julius Yates-Brown and Keun Palu-Thompson were a double-threat to score from anywhere on the field. By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

t will go down as a season for the record books for high school football in the city of Tacoma this autumn of 2014. Four teams within the city limits advanced out of the district playoffs and into the state tournament round of 16. It’s time for a recap and the unveiling of our All-City teams. The Lincoln Abes (11-1) won the 3A Narrows title and led the state in scoring. The Abes would prove naysayers wrong about Tacoma public school football with their 35-30 defeat of fourth-ranked, state powerhouse, O’Dea in the district playoffs. The following weekend, Lincoln would go toe-to-toe with secondranked Eastside Catholic, leading by as many as 14 points. The Crusaders rallied on the Abes with the help of a couple of turnovers, and Lincoln’s season would end nine yards short of the goal-line to tie, or win, the game. Eastside Catholic will play nationally-ranked Bellevue Friday, Dec. 5 for the 3A crown at the Tacoma Dome. Bellarmine Prep (8-4) stumbled at the end of the regular season, losing two games that pushed the Lions down the Narrows 4A standings to ensure they would have to hit the road for the playoffs. The Lions shocked the football world around Washington as they would then knock off 10th-

The sound of shoes squeaking on the hardwood has returned as winter begins tightening its grip upon Puget Sound. Basketball dreams of dazzling cross-over dribbles and league championships are dancing in the heads of Tacoma hoopsters. When basketball season opens, there’s no easing in with a slow start. Teams are hitting the courts with gusto and if you blink they’ll be six games in before Christmas. On Tuesday, Dec. 2, the season began for the teams over at Life Christian Academy. A great crowd was on hand to welcome some new players and a new start at the 2B classification after several years playing at 1A. To get things started would be a familiar opponent, the Terriers from Charles Wright Academy; just a stone’s throw outside of Tacoma. The doubleheader began with the girls contest.

SPORTSWATCH TACOMA ATHLETIC COMMISSION LOOKS TO GET YOUNGER

A new membership drive is underway at the Tacoma Athletic Commission, and it’s a great deal for those that are 30 years of age and younger. With a current TAC member as a sponsor, a new yearly membership to the TAC is just $50. The deal also continues into the second year with $50 yearly dues, before moving up to the regular $100 dues in the third year. The Tacoma Athletic Commission has been putting together sporting events throughout Tacoma and Pierce County every year for 72 years now. One of the highlights of membership is the monthly TAC meetings where local sporting legends come out to rub elbows with the locals. At November’s meeting, the 1944 Turkey Day football game between Lincoln and Stadium was remembered and commemorated as five players from each team attended and spoke to the crowd. It was simply amazing. For membership information, visit tacomaathletic.com and find the Tacoma Athletic Commission on Facebook for regular updates, as well as @TacomaAthletic on Twitter.

by Matt Reid, two free-throws by Holden, and a three-point play by Barber gave Puget Sound a 45-43 lead with just under 6:30 left in the second half. Barber went 1-for-2 from the charity stripe with 5:30 left, but the free point sparked an 11-1 run for Puget Sound that was capped off by a Shattuck 3-pointer with 2:14 left. The Loggers hit five free-throws in the final minute of regulation to seal the win. The Loggers return home on Friday, Dec. 5, when they host UC-Santa Cruz for a 7 p.m. tipoff.

LOGGERS RETURN VICTORIOUS FROM HONOLULU SURF’S UP CLASSIC

Nick Holden recorded his first double-double of the season while Erin Barber and Keith Shattuck both scored in double figures as the Puget Sound men’s basketball team beat Cal Lutheran, 63-52, in the Surf ’s Up Classic finale in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Saturday, Nov. 29. Despite shooting 2-for-12 from the floor, Holden hit 10 of 11 free-throws to finish with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Barber also chipped in with 14 points, and Shattuck added 12. “Cal Lutheran is a very good team, and our guys did a great job of executing our game plan,� said Puget Sound head coach Justin Lunt. “Today was our best defensive performance so far this season. We also did a great job of attacking the rim, which led to 31 free-throw attempts.� The Loggers (3-2) connected on 23 of those 31 attempts (74.2 percent). Defensively, Puget Sound held CLU to just 35.6 percent from the floor and 25 percent from 3-point range. The Loggers bounced back from a subpar 3-point performance on Friday and hit 50 percent (6-for-12) of their 3-point shots on Saturday. Puget Sound held a 28-27 lead at halftime, but a 3-pointer by Dan Wade two minutes into the second half gave CLU a 32-30 edge. Wade connected again from behind the arc to increase CLU’s lead to 37-30 with 14:25 on the clock. The Loggers cut the deficit to 43-37 before a 3-pointer

was now at the helm after serving as an assistant coach for the last five seasons. His team would claim his first victory in a gutsy, scrappy contest with Charles Wright. After shaking off significant rust through the first quarter, both teams picked up the pace in the second quarter. Life Christian took an 18-12 lead a couple minutes into the period only to see the Terriers nibble away at the lead to tie the game at 22-22. With less than a minute remaining in the half, Courtney Youngblood and Alea Yun scored quick baskets, back-to-back and the Eagles would take a 26-24 lead into the locker room at halftime. Charles Wright would take a 29-26 lead two minutes into the third quarter on three free throws from Shoni Pritchett. At the 4:28 mark the Terriers’ lead had grown to 33-29. At this point, neither team would score again for nearly three minutes as the teams traded-off with turnovers, blocked shots and fouls. A Youngblood put-back cut the lead to 33-31 as the third quarter ended. The Eagles would outscore Charles Wright 12-5 in the fourth quarter as Katie Anderson and Youngblood took over control of the game. The Terries got within three points at 39-36, but that was as close as they would get as the Eagles took the victory 43-38. In the second game, with head coach Mark Lovelady calling the shots for his 22nd year, the Life Christian boys would play their old 1A Nisqually League rival and the

Katy Ainslie posted her first double-double of the season as the Puget Sound women’s basketball team picked up a 69-56 win on the road at Concordia (Ore.) on Saturday, Nov. 29. The Loggers (5-0) opened the season with their fifth consecutive win, three of which have been away from home. “Tonight was a great road win against a talented team,� said Puget Sound head coach Loree Payne. “We had a solid night defensively, and our team defensive efforts continue to create offensive opportunities.� Ainslie recorded 25 points and 11 rebounds after shooting 9-for-18 from the field and 7-for-7 from the free-throw line. Ainslie finished with the second-highest point total of her career; she scored 30 points at Willamette on Feb. 15, 2014. “Katy stepped up and had an incredible night scoring and on the boards against some very good post players,� said Payne. Emily Sheldon scored 15 points in the winning effort, and Amanda Forshay added eight points and eight rebounds. Puget Sound held a commanding 36-18 lead at halftime, thanks in large part to its defensive effort that limited Concordia to 18.5 percent from the floor in the opening period. The Loggers recorded several season-bests during the win, including rebounds (54), turnovers (nine) and shots attempted (75). Puget Sound returns to the hardwood in the Pacific Northwest Tournament at Pacific Lutheran starting on Friday, Dec. 5, when the Loggers tipoff against UC-Santa Cruz at 6 p.m.

game looked as if it would be an Eagles runaway early on as Life Christian took a quick 13-4 lead. Working the ball inside to 6-6 center Luke Grocott was opening action from the outside for the likes of Andy Comfort and Luke Lovelady. At the end of the first quarter, Life Christian led 20-9. The Terriers had a better second quarter and began chipping away at the Eagle lead. Terrier guard Cooper Griffin scored seven points in the quarter and Charles Wright was equaling the Eagles’ hustle and intensity. Life Christian led 30-23 at the half. In the third quarter, Life Christian was able to keep the Terriers at arm’s length while Grocott spent considerable time on the bench with foul trouble. Every time it looked as though the Eagles had the game under control, Charles Wright would put together a little run and a 12-point lead would become a five-point lead. Despite a strong effort however, the Terriers would trail 46-35 at the end of the third quarter. Two minutes into the fourth quarter the Terriers had nibbled away at the lead again and only trailed by five points at 49-44. It would be the last of the good times for the Terriers as Life Christian would put them away, outscoring them 10-4 over the final stretch for the 59-48 win. Life Christian was led by Comfort’s 12 points and 10 rebounds. Grocott chipped in 10 points, Reid Roelofs delivered nine points and freshman guard Ja’Ontay Foster debuted with nine as well. Lovelady flirted with a tripledouble scoring eight points, grabbing 12 rebounds and blocking six shots. Charles Wright’s Cooper Griffin led all scorers with 26 points.

ranked Kentwood and would follow that up the next weekend with a decisive win over secondranked Camas. After defeating Bothell three times in the state tournament over the last four seasons, the Lions couldn’t get past the top-ranked, highoctane Cougars this year. Bothell will face Chiawana for the 4A crown Saturday, Dec. 6 at the Tacoma Dome. Life Christian (7-3) was a newcomer to the 2B classification this season, having dropped from 1A over the summer. With new head coach Jess Nelson at the helm, and a limited number of players, the Eagles made the most of their first year in the 2B Pacific League. With two top-10 teams at the head of the league standings, Life Christian finished in third place and earned a home game for the district playoffs. The Eagles would go on to make short work of Adna, winning 47-30; and it really wasn’t that close. For the win, Life Christian was rewarded with a road game against top-ranked Napavine in the state tournament. Napavine proved to be poor hosts to the Eagles and sent them back to Tacoma with a tough 56-3 loss. Napavine will play Okanogan for the 2B state title Friday, Dec. 5 at the Tacoma Dome. Wilson (8-3) put together an exciting season of blowouts, comebacks and nail-biters. A tough loss to second-place Capital and a 12-3 slugfest defeat in the rain against cross-town rival Lincoln would drop the Rams to third place in the 3A Narrows and a ticket to hit the road in the playoffs. The Rams traveled to Seattle’s Memorial Stadium in the district playoffs to face the 3A Metro Valley champion Ballard Beavers. Even on the road, it looked like a good match-up on

UNTAMED! Bellarmine Prep linebacker Erik Glueck has a knack for making

big plays in big games. Against second-ranked Camas, the junior snatched a pass out of the air and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown just 45 seconds into the state tournament game. The score put the Lions on track for the biggest upset of the 2014 state tournament.

paper for Wilson and they dropped the hammer on Ballard to the tune of 43-22. With the win, the Rams were rewarded with a long bus ride the next weekend to the frigid environs of Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane for a first-round state tournament contest with Mt. Spokane. The Wildcats scored early and often on the Rams, who seemed off-kilter all game long in the 52-6 loss. The Wildcats would go on to lose to Eastside Catholic 42-24 in the state semifinals. The Foss Falcons (3-7) were a bit of an unknown at the beginning of the season, as they had several key holes to fill from the previous year, including quarterback. The Falcons played the role of spoiler in 2013, but couldn’t quite

get on track this season. Expect an upswing for Foss next season as several youngsters saw significant playing time this season. Last year the Mt. Tahoma Thunderbirds (1-9) struggled through what was probably the toughest season in school history. The T-Birds could only muster 28 points the entire season. The good news this year was the improvement and 121 points Mt. Tahoma put on the scoreboard. The bad news was yet another struggle to just get competitive. New head coach Ricky Daley has the program on the right track as he attempts to resurrect this once upper-tier program from the ashes to make the T-Birds fly once again.

Local Restaurants RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT: CANYON COFFEE CREATIONS

By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

A

little over a year ago, Tacoma got a brand new hot spot for coffee lovers. Canyon Coffee Creations, located at 2901 72nd St. E., is a coffee stand with a big history in the Northwest. After 12 years on Canyon Road in Puyallup, the stand has finally made its way to the City of Destiny. Canyon Coffee Creations has gained a foothold in the coffee community through its commitment to customer satisfaction and a growing fan base. “The business has been around a long time. Customers have followed us here, so a big thanks to everyone,� owner Jessica Klovas said.

Klovas and the rest of the crew are able to provide for customers because they have plenty of experience at the stand, sticking with the company for many years. “We brew our own coffee so we’re local, and a lot of employees have been here for a long time – three years for one, another girl was there for 11 years, one has been here for six or seven years. We’re a very strong group and we always stick together,� Klovas said. “We have pretty low prices, and we’re pretty competitive with other stands in the area.� Canyon Coffee Creations offers more than 100 different flavors, giving customers a variety of options for their coffee needs. “We’re here to serve all our customers. We’re open seven days a week and never closed for holidays, always there to serve people all day. We open at 4:30 a.m. for the early birds, the people that have to get to work,� Klovas said. Currently, Canyon Coffee Creations is in the process of constructing and moving into a new space in their current building that should be ready by the start of the New Year. “It’s going to be a whole new look at the same location,� Klovas said. Canyon Coffee Creations is open from 4:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Stadium (0-10) had the roughest year of the Narrows bunch. Nothing seemed to work for the Tigers, starting with their opening season 20-13 loss to Mt. Tahoma. On the bright side, the team got more competitive as the season wore on and it looks like new head coach Thomas Ford might be able to turn the Stadium program around, if given enough time. It’s bound to happen sooner or later. Tiger fans still showed up with nice crowds to Stadium Bowl. There was a time, not too long ago, that Tacoma Baptist (0-9) seemed to have regular reservations to the state tournament. A recent administrative upheaval at the school saw longtime coaching legend Mark Smith leave the program. New head coach Tim Rasmussen had his hands full with just nine players showing up for the first day of tryouts. The roster grew, but the Crusaders were in “catch-up� mode even before the season started. The only game the Crusaders were in was a heartbreaker 20-19 loss to Chief Leschi (1-9) who also struggled this season. Now let’s take a look at our All-City team selection process. Most all-star teams have first, second and honorable-mention selections. We do it differently here at your Tacoma Weekly. We’ve found that there are usually too many players named to a second team that have every right to be a first-team selection. However, there are really only so many slots available. We feel our process is much better and altogether at least more fair. The Tacoma Weekly puts all of our first and second teams onto a draft board and selects one player, back-and-forth, for each All-City, all-star team. Two teams of all-stars made up of the best players the city of Tacoma had to offer this season. We’ve even given them catchy names to go along with Tacoma’s local flavor. Now, if we could just see these two teams take the field against each other.

MARVELOUS OEUVRE OF MARVIN OLIVER Contemporary Native American art at Handforth By Dave R. Davison

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Museum of the Week:

dave@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma’s Handforth Gallery is nestled within the main branch of the public library along Tacoma Avenue. The gallery hosts many interesting and important shows, but the gallery is located in the thoroughfare to the public restrooms and next to the library’s security station. The chewing gum snapping of the security guards and the semi-coherent uttering of some of the denizens of the library as they make their way to the restroom make for an interesting sideshow for viewers who are there to have a gander at the artwork on the walls. The current exhibit is well worth the distractions of the space. “Reflections - The Evolution of Works in Paper by Marvin Oliver” is a concise introduction to the work of one of our region’s foremost Native American artists. It is a collection of Oliver’s serigraph and embossed paper compositions that bounce with brilliantly euphoric color. Oliver is rooted in two regions of the country and two Native American communities, each of which has a rich, visual art tradition. Oliver’s mother is IsletaPueblo and his father is Quinault. It is the Salish style of his Quinault heritage that Oliver has chosen as his launch pad for exploration in a variety of media (glass, bronze, wood in addition to painting and print work). Oliver, however, uses the traditional Salish style as a means of contemporary expression, thus doing his part to keep the tradition viable and functional into the foreseeable future. For more than four decades, Oliver has been hard at work. His career is centered around the Univer-

DYNAMIC. “Sea and Sky” by Marvin Oliver. sity of Washington in Seattle where he is a member of the faculty as a professor of American Indian studies and art as well as being one of the curators at the Burke Museum. He has a personal tradition of making silkscreen prints that he bestows upon each of the graduates of the American Indian studies program. During his years as an art student, Oliver studied under Jacob Lawrence (one of the greats among the ranks of African American artists) who gave Oliver this advice: “Look within yourself and your personal experience will be expressed in your art.” Oliver’s colors border on the psychedelic (he attended school in San Francisco during part of the 1960s). He uses the style and animal symbolism of the Salish pantheon almost as if they are Egyptian hieroglyphics. The visual language of totemic animals can be arranged in endless combinations in order to express almost any mood or sentiment. Not content to merely mimic examples of the art of the past, Oliver uses the symbolic visual language

of Salish art to speak to contemporary times. Sockeye salmon stand for determined persistence, a trait seemingly embodied by Oliver himself. Raven is a bringer of light and a long distance healer. The Eagle is a being of the spirit realms and the Orca is a protector. A hybrid, “Sea Bear” is a creature of inbetween spaces. Oliver is crisp, concise and ever inventive with his materials. The embossed areas of the paper mesh perfectly with the colorfully printed portions of the composition. An eagle is embossed into the paper to become the misty breath coming out of the blowhole of a dynamic orca. Elsewhere, embossing is used to form the watery reflection of a magnificent loon. The show includes work from several decades of Oliver’s output. “Reflections” runs through Dec. 31. It is well worth a visit to the public library, despite the continual “side show” that runs through the space. For further information visit www.tpl.lib.wa.us/page. aspx?hid=437.

Celebrate an old-fashioned Christmas. Children can help tow in the yule log at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum during 19th Century Christmas, an old-fashioned holiday celebration that includes a visit from Father Christmas and a sampling of delicious chocolate. “We invite everyone to take a break from the commotion of the modern holiday and be part of an old-fashioned Christmas celebration,” said the Fort’s event coordinator, Chris Erlich. Event partner Theo Chocolate, based in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, will offer drinking chocolate and samples of its organic, fair trade and non-GMO chocolate. Guests can take their own photos with Father Christmas, join in parlor games, and make ornaments and pomanders. A highlight of the event is the arrival of the yule log, towed in by young visitors. Everyone can join in greeting the yule log with toasts and Christmas carols. Guests will have a chance to take home a piece of the log for their own holiday fire. Throughout the event, dozens of re-enactors will bring the Fort to life. Cooks will be creating chocolate custards and mince pies, spinners will be turning wool into yarn, and blacksmiths will be hammering away at the forge. Event admission is $5$8, and children 4 and younger are free.

Current Exhibit: Favorite Things Nov. 29 – March 15, 2015

The beautiful, the unusual and the ordinary come together in this exhibit of a variety of objects from the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum’s collection. Each has a story to tell — how it was made, who owned it, how it got here, or how it has inspired interpreters at Fort Nisqually. These “object stories” provide a glimpse into the past and present at Fort Nisqually. All the objects in the exhibit can be accessed through the Fort’s newly available on-line catalog. The catalog includes more than 100 objects in the Fort’s collection.

CENTERSTAGE’S ‘JACK’ PANTO RUNS FUNNY BUT LONG

KINGLY. L to R: Joshua Williamson as Billy, Anna Clausen as Jack, Dale Bowers as King Eric.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CENTERSTAGE

HEROIC. Anna Clausen stars as Jack in the Centerstage holiday pantomime “Jack and the Beanstalk.� By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Centerstage produced its seventh annual pantomime in the full British tradition with quick-witted humor and groaners aplenty. The Federal Way theater’s holiday “panto� tosses the “Jack and the Beanstalk� story onto its face in this family-friendly spoof that has all the classics – men dressed as women, women dressed as dudes and mild potty humor that hits funny bones at all levels and ages. The Centerstage version of the fabled story of a boy with magic bean was written by Paul Hendy and roughly follows the classic. Directed by Roger Curtis, it adds several goofs and gags and one liners and local references. Oh yeah, there is also a tap-dancing cow and retooled versions of rock ballads. Anchoring the show in the title role is the spritely talented Anna Clausen, an actress trained at the University of Miami who also appeared at Centerstage in “Aladdin and Cuff Me,� the parody of

“50 Shades of Grey.� She has been acting in Seattle since she was 10 years old and also has appeared at Eclectic Theater and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. She is perfect in the boyish role and has both the energy and child-like mannerisms that added depth to the character. But she also has a powerful voice and stage presence that commands attention. The scene stealer of the show is easily Alan Bryce in the cross-dressing role of Jack’s mother. It was comedic gold. One drawback to the show, however, is its length. At more than two and a half hours, even machine-gun belly laughs get worn out, forcing audiences to shift in their seats and check their watches. Children laugh as hard at the end as they do at the beginning, but they wiggle after the second act gets underway. The script could have used a cleaver to hack through the side jokes and misdirects. But the cast, supported by Kate Alden, Joshua Williamson, Dale Bowers and Brynne Geiszler, held up well against the weight of such a long and high-energy show. That’s thanks to the solid musical direction by Josh Zimmer-

ROYAL. Kate Alden (as Princess May) and friends. man and the tight choreography by Amy Johnson that played off Steffon Moody’s set and Deb Skorstad’s costumes. All in all, it is a show worth seeing. Just reserve tickets since the show routinely sells out. Tickets are available by phone at (253) 661-1444, or online at www.centerstagetheatre.com, and in

Performances are Fridays at 7 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m. through Dec. 21. The theater is located at 3200 Dash Point Rd.

JANIS REDUX. Local singer Sherrie Johnson will capitalize on her similarities to a rock icon Friday night with new tribute band, Janis Lives. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

You’ve seen Hell’s Belles’ “Shoot to Thrill,” No Quarter walking the “Stairway to Heaven” and Randy Hansen shredding like Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock; and to the pantheon of local, classic rock tribute acts you can now add Janis Lives, a new band that pays homage to the late, great Janis Joplin that’s fronted by Tacoma singer Sherrie Johnson (Devil on a Leash, Voxxy Vallejo). The group will make its debut on Friday, Dec. 5 at Jazzbones, sharing a bill with Doors tribute band Alive She Cried. Recently, we caught up with Johnson, for starters to tell her, “It’s about time!” Tacoma Weekly: You know, long before I knew about this event I thought you look a bit like Janis Joplin. How do you go about completing the look? Johnson: That’s really why this is all coming together. For as long as I’ve been doing music, I’ve had people telling me I remind ‘em of her – both in my stage presence and vocals – and that I look a little bit like her. Her sister wrote a book on her, called “Love, Janis,” and I read that. There were tons of pictures from when she was younger, and it was like looking at members of my family. It’s like she could be related to us because the features are there, you know. I’m not necessarily trying to be a Janis impersonator. I’m gonna do what I do, and it’s gonna be with Janis songs; and I’m gonna dress like her and hope that I do it justice. TW: Tell me about the repertoire you’re doing. Are you just doing the hits, or are you doing some surprise deep album cuts?

Johnson: We picked out 15 songs we felt like were the most recognizable. There’s a couple in there that maybe people who aren’t diehard Janis fans aren’t as familiar with, but definitely all the hits. We’re not just doing all the party, hoppin’ songs. We’ve got some of the more melodic, bluesy stuff she does in there as well. But it’s a full 70minute set.

Janis Lives with Alive She Cried 7 p.m., Dec. 5 Jazzbones, 2803 Sixth Ave., Tacoma $15 (253) 396-9169 or

www.jazzbones.com TW: What are two or three of your favorite songs to sing and why? Johnson: I’m really excited about doing “Crybaby” and “Try” because, vocally, those always scared me. When I would dabble around with some Janis music before, I did the basic ones that pretty much anyone covers – “Piece of My Heart” and “Bobby McGee.” “Summertime” is one of my all time favorite Janis songs. It’s also one of the hardest ones for me to sing, and it’s one of her most popular ones. So I’m like, “Oh gosh, I hope I do it justice.” TW: We know that you can sing from your other projects, but Janis did have that really unique, intense style. Are you trying to replicate that, or are you putting your own spin on it? Johnson: I’m trying to find a balance between doing what I do already,

which has already gotten people thinking that I’m Janis-like, and doing a little bit of what she does to pull it together. I also don’t want to over think it, you know. I don’t want it to be all acting because I want that raw energy to come through. TW: Who’s in the band? Johnson: I put together an entire new band for this. I do have the drummer from Devil on a Leash (Jeremy Kuntz.) I’ve got Scott Malone on guitar; he was in Seven’s Revenge, and he does some stuff with Raymond Hayden. I’ve got Jack Dolan, formerly (the owner) of Sluggo Music … as the bass player. Then a guy out of Seattle we found named John Gilbert on keys. TW: What’s the future for this? Johnson: We wanna market it to casinos and corporate gigs. We want to travel with it. We at least want to go into California with it and Oregon, Nevada and see where it goes from there.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Take the holiday pressure off by allowing friends and family to pamper and entertain you. People may act before they think, causing a possible misunderstanding. Use your diplomatic tactics to smooth over the situation by helping others to view all sides as valid concerns.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) A friend or family member may ask your advice to help solve an ongoing problem. Think about this situation before giving your opinion and suggest ways to help prevent future incidences. The power of the full moon on Saturday will guide you smoothly through difficult situations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) There may be many different people sharing their opinions and perceptions about money. The full moon this week helps guide you to respect how they feel and to respectfully give your view. Use this time to reflect on how you spend and save and how much you will need for the future.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You may be immersed or become involved in an intimate relationship with someone special that cares very deeply for you. Make sure you are both on the same page and that any limitations be made clear. The full moon warns you that open and honest communication is the key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) This week’s full moon brings holiday romance to ignite a new or old relationship. Prepare to be wined and dined on several social occasions. Someone from your past may apologize to you or you may be doing the reassuring that an incident will not be repeated. Speak truth.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) People may surprise you by their lack of empathy. It goes against your grain so much that you may find the gumption to retaliate through social media or reporting an issue to an authority. Your tight core of friends and family pull through for you during the full moon’s effects.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) You may feel like you need to be alone and crave some privacy during this week’s full moon. Yet there will be people who need your company and sound advice. Do your best to help them out while allowing enough “me” time. Reflect on your desires as they may affect others.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) This month starts out big and bold, full of holiday cheer and social events. The full moon this week sets an upbeat tone of fun and festivities that should last into early next month. Enjoy the ride while it lasts and try to avoid overindulging in food and drink. Loose lips can cause mishaps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Delays that have had you frustrated will be gradually turned around. This week’s full moon opens doors that were previously closed. Friends will flock around you attracted to your creative ideas and implementations. New people will walk through your door during the holidays.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Home life and holiday plans may not pan out like originally planned. Intense emotions and situations may result from the energy of this week’s full moon. Your words may be used against you by someone falsely accused. There is always two sides; make sure yours is accurate.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) This will be a busy week for you, full of holiday buzz. The full moon this week will help guide you through an ongoing difficult situation or relationship. Be calm and refuse to be rushed in making a decision or attending a social function. Lighten up and have some lighthearted fun.
