aturday was a day for a Team Jacoby miracle. Despite the chilly weather, a large gathering came together at Lowe’s in Bonney Lake to run a 5k as a fundraising event for 16-year-old Jacoby Miles, who suffered a spinal injury last year during a gymnastics practice at Roach Gymnastics. “This is awesome,” Jacoby said of the fun run Saturday. “This is amazing that all these people came out.” The Gift for Jacoby 5k Fun Run was organized by Melanie Roach, owner of Roach Gymnastics, to raise money for the ongoing medical treatment and therapy for the Puyallup High student. Roach said $15,000 was raised, which will help pay for five months of physical therapy. Saturday was the first anniversary of the accident when Jacoby attempted a double back dismount during gymnastic practice. Roach said the participation in the fun run event was “mind boggling.” Jacoby said her therapy is going very well. She said after her injury she could only move her arms in the biceps position. Now she is able to move her arms in all positions.

To comply with the Department of Lake Ecology, Pierce County has Tapps proposed an updated SMP that has many property owners wor- ried. There was a Nov. 14 community meeting at Dieringer Heights Elementary School organized by Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, to discuss the issue and how it may affect property owners along the lake, as well as recreational visitors. Approximately 200 homeowners attended the meeting. About 18 percent of the properties along the shore fall under the
