n June 23, the Korean Women's Association (KWA) filled STAR Center with the delicious aromas of fresh and healthy food, including cucumber kimchi, Korean beef barbecue (bulgogi), Korean veggie noodle (apchae) and much more. It was the second annual Taste of Korea event and before anyone could get through the buffet style chow line, they had already indulged in topics presented by guest speak-

ers, including Korean Consul General Moon Duk-ho and retired Brigadier General Oscar Bautista Hilman.

Once every guest was again seated and devouring their seaweed rice rolls, the much-anticipated showcase began. Dancers from Morning Star Cultural Center filled the stage and a variety of drumming sounds resounded along with the clanking of cymbals, gongs and the stumming of zithers.

The dance costumes were all highly elaborate with soft gomusin style slip-on shoes. The women and girls wore traditional colorful Korean hanboks, sarees or See KOREA / page A11

YOUTH, SENIORS PLANT GARDENS AND NEW FRIENDSHIPS

Tacoma City Council has allocated more than half a million dollars to install school zone warning beacons at 14 schools across the city, with more safety improvement in the works after that.

The schools targeted for the traffic beacons are: Point Defiance, Truman, Downing, Lowell, Jason Lee, DeLong, Franklin, Stanley, Reed, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Mount Tahoma, Birney and Fern Hill.

“This much-needed work will now begin to make Lowell students safer in the fall with new school zone beacons to slow traffic,” said Lowell PTA President Molly Crowley. “I appreciate the leadership of the Tacoma City Council to secure more than $700,000 to make traveling to school safer for children across our city.”

Adding safety features in the area around Lowell is particularly tricky since the school is located on a strip of the arterial where there is limited visibility caused by hills on both ends of the school zone. Drivers routinely drive faster than the 30-miles-per-hour limit, while children and parents routinely cross the street illegally in the middle of the street rather than walk a block in either direction to a lighted crosswalk and double back toward

CONCEPT OF INTERIM TIDEFLAT RULES INCHES FORWARD

No restrictions proposed – yet

Three local high school students and a group of residents at Lakewood Meadows, a SHAG senior living community, worked together on Friday, June 23 to fill and plant 10 new raised garden beds at this senior living community. The elevated gardens were designed to make it easy for the seniors to cultivate vegetables, herbs and blossoms, and also reap broader benefits.

“Many of our residents are longtime gardeners accustomed to growing produce and flowers and sharing them with their neighbors,” said Jay Woolford, executive director of SHAG. “These new beds will enable them to continue this meaningful tradition.

They will also be able to provide their gardening wisdom with the students, which we hope will plant the seeds for friendships between the generations.”

SHAG provided the garden beds and the soil, and other materials were donated by the Home Depot on Tacoma Mall Boulevard.

TIDEFLATS. All eyes have turned on the Tideflats in recent years as environmental groups voice concerns about petrochemical projects slated for the waterfront and business groups see the land as a valuable job-creator for the region.

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The Tacoma Planning Commission hosted a marathon public comment meeting June 21 as sides stated their cases regarding plans for interim regulations for the Tideflats that would restrict land-uses in the industrial and shipping hub while the area undergoes a multi-year subarea planning review. More than 40 people spoke regarding the idea, most of them voicing support for tighter rules while the review is conducted, but the Port of Tacoma believes such a move would be legally questionable.

Long-Range Planning Associate Planner Stephen Atkinson presented the case that interim regulations were warranted on the 5,160 acres of Tideflats because See TIDEFLATS / page A11 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/tacomaweekly

Pothole of the Week

DEPUTIES SEARCHING FOR ESCAPED BURGLARY SUSPECT DANIEL MOORE

By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

52ND AND FAWCETT After so long, we have to assume that Percival our beloved Pothole Pig has simply vanished. However, there are still potholes in the city that need attention, so we simply – and sadly – must hire someone to handle his workload.

We decided to give the candidates a trial run to see how they do in the field.

This week Carter the Crater Gator gave it another shot by finding a crater that would make Percival proud. But frankly, Carter might just not have the celebrity power to take on such a high-profile role.

What are your thoughts? We have other candidates in the works that we might try out: Charles the Chuckhole Chicken and Blighty the Blight-Seeking Beaver, but several people voiced their opinion that a permanent replacement should be one of Percival’s relatives, namely Peyton, who lives in Portland, and Perry, who lives in Parkland. And now a new candidate has entered the running with a resume from Ruddy the Road Rut Reindeer, who is a brother-inlaw of Tacoma Rainiers mascot Rhubarb.

Pierce County Sheriff's deputies are asking for the public's help to find a burglary suspect who escaped on June 18. Detectives DAVID ROSE say Daniel Moore was being held for a competency evaluation at the Maple Lane School in Grand Mound in Thurston County when he removed a windowpane from a second story window and climbed out. He then scaled a fence surrounding the facility and evidence shows he broke into a nearby school.

“Daniel Moore is an extreme burglar who knows how to use tools to get into windows. He likes to break into churches, steal items from the church and then go sell them on social media,” said Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer. In fact, members of the Proactive Property Crime Unit had arrested him in March after they say he burglarized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located on 25th Avenue East. in the Midland-Waller area of Tacoma.

During a search of his vehicle, deputies found several burglary tools

including a glass cutter, a large suction cup used for removing glass, several prying tools, a drill, gloves, binoculars, and masks. They also located pieces of religious artwork, antique bibles and religious books, and several checks that did not have the suspect’s name on them.

Investigators researched other church burglaries and discovered that on Nov. 29, 2016 someone broke into the Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church. The suspect drilled through a window pane to enter the building and stole a 42-inch television from the church. Deputies researched Moore's pawn history and determined he had pawned the stolen television for $100 on the night of Nov. 29. Deputies went to the pawn shop in Lakewood and were able to recover the television and return it to the Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church. Their research also identified a similar burglary on Dec. 11, 2016 at the Lutheran Church of Christ the King also in the MidlandWaller area. In that burglary the suspect removed a thick glass window to enter the church and pried open several doors; the suspect stole several items including a speaker/amplifier/microphone set. Another check of the arrested suspect’s pawn history

Bulletin Board CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN ON LINCOLN DISTRICT STREETSCAPE The City of Tacoma is scheduled to begin work on Phase 1 of the Lincoln District Streetscape Project on Wednesday, July 5. Construction will take place on South 38th Street, from South J Street to South Fawcett Avenue, and along South G Street and South Yakima Avenue, between South 37th and South 38th streets.

This phase is expected to run July 2017 through May 2018. During construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction in the construction zone.

“I’m pleased to see the first phase of these important infrastructure improvements begin,” said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “In 2014, I identified the Lincoln Business District as a strategic priority for investment because this unique neighborhood has the potential to become a destination. We want to ensure that revitalization efforts will honor the culture, history and character of the district, so I’m proud that this effort is shaped by input from the community.”

The streetscape area serves as the primary corridor of the Lincoln Business District and this effort is the cornerstone of the Lincoln Revitalization Project. Key features include roadway, sidewalk, public art and pedestrian infrastructure improvements. This project seeks to enhance pedestrian access, traffic calming measures and landscaping elements.

“Supporting the Lincoln Business District and surrounding neighborhood has been a top priority for me,” said District 4 Councilmember Marty Campbell. “I’ve been working closely with the engaged residents and business owners in the area for some time to determine what the community desires for its future. These streetscape enhancements are a major step toward the vision of this business district. I’m excited to see this project getting underway.”

Information about the project, including the latest updates, is available at cityoftacoma.org/LincolnStreetscape or e-mail LincolnProject@cityoftacoma.org, or call (253) 591-5174. The community is also invited to visit the Lincoln Project Office at 750 S. 38th St., Monday- Friday between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

showed that he pawned the stolen set at a pawn shop on Jan. 17 for $60; deputies went to the pawn shop in Kent and were able to recover the audio set and return it to the Lutheran Church of Christ the King. Moore was charged with the additional burglaries and trafficking of stolen property and is now also facing escape charges in Thurston County.

“He's probably out there doing burglaries in Western Washington because that's definitely how he made his living before he was caught, convicted and sent off,” said Troyer.

Deputies contacted several priests in Pierce County and King County to try to identify the owners of the antique bibles and religious books but have still have not been able to reunite them with their owners. If you believe these items belong to your church or someone you know, please call the Pierce County Sheriff's Department's Proactive Property Crime Unit. Moore is 34 years old, 6-feet, 3-inches tall, 180 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. He has a black dragon tattoo covering his upper left arm. If you can tell deputies where to find him, Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Call the hot line at 1 (800) 222-TIPS.

and Community Services Director Linda Stewart.

“Tadd brings to the table more than 15 years of experience and has been a great asset to the City of Tacoma, helping enhance service delivery to our residents,” said Pauli. “I am pleased to welcome him to the City Manager’s Office as an assistant city manager, and believe that having him in this role will further enhance our organizational processes and level of management.”

While the full set of duties and responsibilities for this new position are being refined, Wille will continue to be responsible for managing and leading the development and administration of the City of Tacoma’s biennial operating and capital budget.

Having joined the City of Tacoma in 2012, Wille oversaw the City of Tacoma’s budget development process and managed its long range financial planning as budget director. Prior to joining the City of Tacoma, he served as an assistant director and grants administrator for the City of San Antonio’s Office of Management and Budget.

Wille has a bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s degree in public administration from Brigham Young University.

Originally from Cody, Wyo., Wille is married with three children. They enjoy living in the Pacific Northwest and the opportunities it brings for hiking, camping and skiing.

TACOMA ISSUES CALL FOR PARK PLAZA GARAGE IDEAS The City of Tacoma has issued a Request for Interest relating to the purchase of air rights to the 492-stall Park Plaza North Garage and ground-level city-owned retail bays located at 923 Commerce St. The city seeks projects that will rejuvenate Park Plaza North by adding two levels of parking (approximately 200 stalls with potential for the city to purchase a portion) and two levels of Class A office space (about 100,000 square feet for private use).

“The goal is to create a high-quality development that will contribute to the vitality of the downtown core and the Theater District,” said Community and Economic Development Director Ricardo Noguera. “More than $1 billion is being invested in development projects in the area, most notably a $30 million renovation of the historic Washington Building into apartments and live-work spaces as well as a $24 million project to restore the historic integrity, beauty and functionality of the Pantages Theater that are underway.”

Applicants are encouraged to submit a Letter of Interest that includes the submittal information described on page 9 of the RFI by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Sept. 29.

STOP LNG NOW!

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.

ways 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.

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. 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.

The extinction of salmon throughout Puget Sound is upon us.

PUYALLUP TRIBE: “NO LNG!”

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

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.

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 cleanerburning 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 road-

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

MARY MART WANTS TO BE YOUR GO-TO PLACE FOR ALL THINGS CANNABIS

COME IN. With its spacious square footage and clearly posted menu boards, Mary Mart is designed with the customers’ experience in mind.

By Jackie Fender jackie@tacomaweekly.com

With more verifiable studies displaying the benefits, the stigma that once shrouded the medical and recreational use of cannabis has long since been stripped away and more and more U.S. states are following suit with legalization of its sale and use. Long gone are the days of “knowing a guy,” as polished storefronts are providing elevated shopping opportunities paired with knowledgeable staff and a plethora of options. Such can be found at Tacoma’s own Mary Mart at 3002 6th Ave. Family owned and operated with Damien McDivitt at the helm, Mary Mart specializes in the sale of medical and

recreational cannabis products and accessories. Everything from flowers, infused edibles, joints and drinks can be found there, which can almost be overwhelming even for the average user. There are dozens of strains to choose from, with indica, sativa and combinations of the two and a variety of means to imbibe. Luckily the Mary Mart staff is friendly, knowledgeable and eager to help fill your cannabis needs. As a consumer, you can even take advantage of regularly updated menu boards informing you about the rotating inventory currently available in house.

With the beginning of 2017, Mary Mart made a big transition, packed up shopped and moved from their petite, 900-squarefoot strip mall space across the street and now reside in what was once Tacoma Food

NWSA HANDLES RECORD MAY CONTAINER VOLUME It was the strongest May on record for total international container volume, including empties, at 255,817 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units). As new ocean carrier alliance services entered the gateway, volumes increased by 18 percent compared to last year, according to a report by the Northwest Seaport Alliance, the umbrella agency that manages commercial traffic in Tacoma and Seattle port operations.

Empty exports also grew 72 percent as ocean carriers continue to reposition empties to Asia in preparation for peak season. The National Retail Federation recently projected in its June – October forecast that imports are expected to continue their strong growth trend.

Year to date, full import volumes were up 11 percent to 578,387 TEUs. Meanwhile, full exports grew 5 percent to 402,829 TEUs. Total international containers, including empties, increased 13 percent year to date to 1,223,535, the highest since 2006.

Total container volumes for the gateway grew 12 percent over the same month last year, and year-to-date volumes were up 8 percent.

Total domestic volumes for the month declined 8 percent compared to the same month last year. Alaska’s year-to-date volumes declined 8 percent and are expected to end the year 5 to 6 percent lower due to soft market conditions. Hawaii volumes through the Pacific Northwest declined 7 percent due to diversion to Southern California.

Driven by consistent demand from China, log volumes were up 93.9 percent to 129,927 metric tons over the same time last year.

Breakbulk cargo was down 7 percent, to 69,901 metric tons year to date, due to soft market conditions.

Autos, at 59,891 units year to date, slipped 20 percent compared to the same time last year, reflecting weakening U.S. demand and shifting manufacturing locations.

CITY’S ARTS ORGANIZATIONS TALLY $137 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education, has announced in its most recent Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 study that the nonprofit arts and culture sector is a significant industry in Tacoma – one that generates $137.2 million in total economic activity. This spending – $74.6 million by nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and an additional $62.6 million in event-related spending by their audiences – supports 3,656 full-time equivalent jobs, generates $86 million in household income to local residents, and delivers $14 million in local and state government revenue.

“Arts and culture are embedded in Tacoma’s identity and have elevated us on an international stage,” said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “We are encouraged by these results, and will continue to leverage these strengths to make Tacoma an even more attractive, prosperous and vibrant destination city.”

“Tacoma’s nonprofit arts and cultural organizations are integral to our commercial ecosystem,” said Arts Administrator Amy McBride. “They directly support a wide array of occupations spanning many industries.”

Nationally, the nonprofit arts industry generates $166.3 billion of economic activity – $63.8 billion in spending by arts and cultural organizations and an additional $102.5 billion in event-related expenditures by their audiences. This activity supports 4.6 million jobs

“This study demonstrates that the arts are an economic and employment powerhouse both locally and across the nation,” said Robert L. Lynch, president and chief executive officer of Americans for the Arts. “A vibrant arts and culture industry helps local businesses thrive and local communities become stronger and healthier places to live. Leaders who care about community and economic vitality can feel good about choosing to invest in the arts.

Nationally as well as locally, the arts mean business.”

PERFORMANCE

BY THE NUMBERS A look at the Puget Sound Regional Council’s snapshot of the economic activity on the Tacoma Tideflats shows a mixed bag of news for business boosters trying to use it as an example of job creation and industrial activity born from straightforward land-use policies.

Certainly, the 2013 report, the most recent study available and the one used by city planners in their review of matters, states $34.5 billion in international trade and $3 billion in domestic activity pass through the 5,160 acres of Tacoma’s working waterfront a year. Some 9,250 workers receive their direct paychecks from businesses on the waterfront. But here’s the problem.

That number is actually falling.

It has been dropping for the last decade, which saw 2,653 workers leaving waterfront payrolls since the 1990s. The overall value of goods flowing through shipping terminals and cargo trucking company warehouses is going up, while those operations use fewer workers.

So the Port of Tacoma is failing its mission of creating local jobs. Certainly, the drop of manufacturing jobs is not unique to Tacoma. The entire nation simply doesn’t make stuff as much as it used to, particularly when less expensive options can be found on the world market. That’s not likely to change, yet there is little talk about reinventing the Tideflats so that it actually generates local jobs, not just international trade values that flow into and then quickly out of our community.

While the Tideflats makes up 16 percent of the city’s land area, it represents 9.5 percent of the city’s job base. The Tideflats has just a quarter of the economic activity per acre than the average for all manufacturing and industrial hubs in the region.

What is also interesting is that the average parcel size is just five acres, two acres smaller than the regional average for industrial areas and has about eight percent of its land vacant and developable.

Land is available but the parcels are small, making every inch count or requiring the cobbling of several parcels together for larger projects to boost economic activity – you know, like allowing 30 acres of land be used for a liquefied natural gas facility that will have about the same payroll numbers of a downtown coffee shop.

It has been argued that since the Tideflats is recognized as one of the largest center of manufacturing and industrial uses, residential developments should be discouraged. That makes sense.

Residential encroachment into heavy industrial zones raises a host of environmental safety and compatibility issues as does the reverse, industrial encroachment into established residential areas.

Both exist on the Tideflats. In an effort to guard against this, housing options within the Tideflats’ economic center have dropped by 22 units, about half of its residential stock during the last decade.

But what is interesting is that the actual population of people living within the industrial zone has increase by 698 residents. That growth came courtesy of the decision to site the Northwest Detention Center in the area, adding 1,300 people to the neighborhood. Residential encroachment into industrial areas apparently doesn’t count if orange jumpsuits and guards are part of the equation.

The Tideflats needs a subarea plan, a fact the City Council and the Port of Tacoma Commission recognize, to sort out the mish mash of decisions and visions for the shipping hub. But it also needs some interim regulations to save itself from making future bad decisions that could further cost jobs and encourage encroachment as previous decision have.

POLICING MENTAL ILLNESS

By Paul Pastor Pierce County Sheriff

As I look at police use of force involving people with mental illness, I see a number of assumptions and issues which we need to address.

First, and sadly, not every one of these incidents is going to “come out right.� Police encounters with the mentally ill sometimes bring a high potential for violence. There is no guarantee that there will be a peaceful, win-win solution every time. Human behavior is complex and is made more complex by mental illness. We should always strive for the best outcome. But such outcomes are neither easy nor assured.

Next, most people think violence in police-citizen encounters is choreographed. It is not. We see scripted, choreographed violence every day on television and in the movies. But, in the real world, violence brings fear, surprise, chaos and, too often, horrible real-world consequences. Those who have experienced combat can tell you that it’s not like the movies.

Next, we sometimes assume that if a mental health worker becomes involved in a police encounter with a mentally ill citizen, everything will end peacefully.

This assumption, is also wrong. Mental health professionals, are a real advantage to police but their presence does not guarantee de-escalation. In fact, mental health workers themselves call the police when they can’t handle potentially violent or actively violent situations. Again, there is no universal means to bring a peaceful end to every incident.

But the remarkable fact is that most such incidents actually do end peacefully. Police confront violent, mentally ill individuals many times every day in our area and yet you don’t hear about bad outcomes every day.

Why? Because bad outcomes are the exception. Ordinarily

no one is injured or killed. And, therefore, these incidents are not controversial or newsworthy.

While involving mental health professionals in responding to these calls provides no guarantee, it can often help to achieve peaceful outcomes. It is here that a serious problem arises. Our state and our local jurisdictions have drastically reduced access to mental health services. We cut state and local budgets for mental health and then expect police to pick up all the pieces.

Over the last several years, homelessness, substance abuse, mental illness and other issues were dropped on law enforcement’s door step. People avoid responsibility for these issues saying, “let the cops handle it� or “just keep it out of my neighborhood.� The result? More violent field encounters with the mentally ill and more use of jails as mental hospitals.

Shame on us when we refuse to provide crucial triage and treatment services and then act surprised saying “I am shocked, shocked that police have not solved all these problems.�

Let’s get real. Let’s recognize that policing mental illness is fraught with difficulty. Let’s recognize that treating mental illness is also difficult and it costs money. Let’s recognize that bad outcomes in police encounters are the exception and not the rule. But, while things may not always end well, we can do a lot more to reduce the likelihood of bad outcomes.

Our failure to invest in mental health services has and will continue to set the stage for violence. It has and will cost the lives of citizens and the lives of police officers. Do we want to accept that? Do we think it will go away if we just “blame the cops?�

Paul Pastor serves as sheriff of Pierce County. The department consists of 329 law enforcement officers, 305 corrections officers and 145 civilian personnel serving in Washington's second largest county as well as University Place, through a municipal contract.

PIERCE COUNTY SIGHTS ARE ALL THAT AND MORE‌

By Connie Ladenburg

Summer is often the time when out of town family and friends come to visit. Here is a secret: You don’t have to take them to Seattle for something to do or see. Pierce County is a great place to show off!

Do you know that Pierce County is the only county in the country that goes from sea level to the highest point in the contiguous United States? If you have been here for any length of time you know that we have beautiful bays, lakes, rivers, parks, trails, mountains, quaint towns and bustling cities.

I just recently received the magazine Travel Tacoma and Pierce County, which is filled with the inside scoop on the jewels of our county. You will be pleasantly surprised by what is available right here in our own backyard and excited to show our gems to your friends and family.

The most obvious, and what we are becoming known for, are our museums, from the LeMay Car Museum to the Museum of Glass to the Washington State History Museum to the Harbor History Museum in Gig Harbor. Museums not your thing? How about a tour? There is a Tacoma Ghost Tour, Destiny Harbor Tours and local scavenger hunts.

Looking for a little leisure? Go for a stroll along Dock Street, Thea Foss Waterway, Ruston Way, Dash Point Park, Wright Park and, of course, Chambers Bay. If you are into golf, you must go to Chambers Bay Golf Course, a world-class golf course that hosted the 2015 U.S. Open.

You can’t visit Pierce County without taking out your camera. Take advantage of great photo opportunities at the Museum of Glass, W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory, and

Gig Harbor, a quaint village on the water with great views of sailboats, the Puget Sound and of Mt. Rainier. Point Defiance, at 700 acres the largest urban park west of the Mississippi River, has forest and water venues, a rose garden, a Northwest native garden and a Japanese garden all ready for that perfect picture.

A visit to Mt. Rainier, which is one of the five highest summits in the lower 48, is a must when visiting Pierce County. On your way, stop at Ex-Nihlo Sculpture Park, a fantastical garden made out of recycled scrap iron. Some of the highlights in the park are Tipsoo Lake and the Naches Peak Loop Trail. The Grove of the Patriarchs has 300-foot tall trees that are 1,000 years old and truly jaw-dropping. If you can handle a steep 3.8-mile hike, you must go see Comet Falls, a truly spectacular cascade.

We can’t entertain our guests without quenching our thirst and Pierce County has much to offer! We have local wineries – no need to go to Walla Walla. Instead, check out 21 Cellars Winery and Anderson Island Vineyards. If you favor a cold beer on a hot day, you will not have to travel far to quench that thirst. Brewmasters have put Pierce County on the map for lovers of beer with our popular assortment of breweries. We have Tacoma Brewing Company, Wingman Brewery, Pacific Brewing and Malting Co., 7 Seas and many more. If you are looking for something on the liquor side, we also have Heritage Distilling Co. where you can actually take classes, the Chamber Bay Distillery in University Place, Parliament Distillery in Sumner, Old Soldier Distillery in Tacoma and Nightside Distillery Edgewood.

The opportunities in Pierce County are bountiful!

Connie Ladenburg is a member of the Pierce County Council.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, (Re: “The state of health care in America‌and what we can do about it,â€? guest opinion by Willie Dickerson, TW June 16) I live in Connecticut, where Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Sen. Chris Murphy are great supporters of the Affordable Care Act. What changes are made will affect me greatly, as well as millions of others. The most vulnerable will be hurt the most.

Children, the elderly and the disabled depend upon the protections provided by the ACA. There are changes that could be made to improve it. Replacing it with the proposed Republican bill would do great harm!

Though not a constituent of the Senate Republicans, I have called, sent tweets, and written to newspapers in their states.

Even so, comments for and against a bill or issues are counted.

I let friends and relatives in states represented by Republicans to attend town meetings and speak to their members of Congress.

Their voices will have more effect than mine. After all, I cannot vote them out of office.

Leslie Weinberg Dear Editor, All across America in urban communities, people tend to have higher average incomes, greater wealth and higher levels of education. People with greater wealth and more education

have better access to medical care and better health and longer life expectancy. For this reason, the Affordable Care Act, or Obama Care, has benefited rural counties and states more than urban areas. A well-documented column in the Kitsap Sun by Dr. Benjamin Sommers points out that people in states that expanded Medicaid experienced dramatic increases in health insurance coverage, a sizeable drop in out-of–pocket medical expenses, and report significant improvement in health. Workingclass Americans have struggled with worsening health outcomes and economic challenges. The study shows that the ACA has produced major benefits for this group. Seventy percent of people in the study had pre-existing conditions covered by the ACA. The replacement bill for the ACA released on Thursday falls short on these and other coverages. If it passes, the impact on the more affluent in America will be negligible or even lighten their load, but the impact on people in poorer counties and states will be profound. If you care about the wellbeing of the elderly and or lower income people in or out of our state, call your senators today and urge them not to support the Senate American Health Care Act (AHCA). If you have friends or relative in a red state, urge them to call their senators. Any Senator in any state can be reached at 1 (800) 826-3688.

ARMED ROBBERY

Pierce County Sheriff’s detectives need your help to identify the suspect responsible for a robbery.

At 5:20 a.m. on March 20th, 2017, the pictured suspect entered the P&M Deli Mart located in the 8300 block of Canyon Rd. E. in Puyallup.

The suspect redeemed two scratch tickets, then purchased beverages with his winnings and left the store.

The suspect returned five minutes later, walked behind the counter and displayed a handgun concealed in his waistband. The suspect grabbed two bags and started filling them with cigarettes and scratch tickets, then fled on foot.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 30’s, approximately 6’ tall, with a medium build and had a

similar style dresses with triangular sleeves, all draped with solid colored sashes or with elaborate floral embroidery and ribbons.

That’s not to mention the incredible head pieces they wore, or the silk scarves they danced with and waved seamlessly through the air like fresh linens blowing from the strongest of clothes lines.

The male dancers were equally groomed but in much less flamboyant colors. They wore long brown overcoats over brown paji trousers and long-sleeved white shirts. Some of the males danced with long ribbons attached to their beaniestyle caps and they swung their heads round and round to make the ribbon whip through the air in circles much like a cowboy might throw a rope to lasso a cow.

Younger boys also wearing brown trousers and white shirts twirled disks on sticks or played drums.

During the lecture series, the consulate had addressed the Korean War veterans who were seated at tables together. Duk-ho thanked all military men and women who sacrificed themselves to preserve peace and freedom and said he continues to meet with as many Korean War vets and their families as possible.

Regarding South Korea and America, Duk-ho said both countries’ leaders, President Moon Jae-in and President Donald Trump, are very strong and mature and said their mutual goal is to decide how best to address North Korea on the topic

the school.

Those factors illustrate the general problem around schools that a public survey on the issue concluded by noting that the three biggest obstacles people mentioned when it came to walking, biking or skateboarding to school were poor driving behavior on streets near schools, high-traffic speeds and lack of safety facilities.

On top of the school zone safety improvements, the city became a Safe Routes to School partner, which is a national effort to create safer walking and bicycling routes around schools. One of the steps in the works is to establish or expand school zones so cars slow down before they pass in front of a school.

“Parents and schools believed we had school zones in place to protect kids,” said Deputy Mayor Robert Thoms.

“Parents and local PTAs I have worked with were shocked to learn that half the schools across the city didn’t have true school zones and many didn’t have flashing beacons or more safety infrastructure. As a parent, I felt this should be addressed.”

The responsibility of street changes, speed zones and alert beacons around schools is the responsibility of the city since these traffic considerations constitute changes to a pub-

of nuclear weapons.

Duk-ho also expressed his appreciation to organizations present at the festival for offering their supportive services to immigrants, the veterans and elderly. His gratitude to the KWA members was about how they also have helped to improve Korea’s relationship with the United States.

After the consulate, retired Brigadier General Oscar Bautista Hilman spoke. “I love kimchi and eat it every day,” he said only to hear laughter from the audience.

Hilman shared many memories from having served in the military but one experience, in particular, had a lasting memory for him.

lic roadway, not to the school district as many people think although the work is done with consultation with school officials. Some schools had defacto school zones of just 300 feet, while state law allows up to 1,800 feet.

Work to install the school zone warning beacons will begin in the summer, and is expected to be completed by October 2017.

Improving safety around schools has been a project Thoms began addressing in 2013, with a proposal to basically double the 20-mile-perhour speed zone around schools from 300 feet from the center of the school’s main crosswalk to up to 300 feet from the school’s “active use” area, namely ball fields, parking lots and playgrounds. The change reduced speed zones about two city blocks around several schools.

The city spent $150,000 in 2015 for additional work at more than a dozen schools.

“This is just good government,” Thoms said. “This is what government is supposed to do – see a problem and solve it.”

He did, however, note that progress has come slower than he first thought because of the need for planning, discussing options with school officials and then finding funding for the work.

“Government is always frustrating,” he said. “I know that, and I’m in it.”

Hilman said he had been on a threeweek military exercise that involved crossing a country's border. It was a ground reconnaissance unit traveling with an escort. Yet as the unit grew closer to the border, Hilman observed the living conditions begin to change. Unbeknownst to any of the soldiers, there had been a lack of communication between the Defense Movement Coordinator (DMC) and headquarters. So when the unit finally arrived at the border crossing, Hilman and his unit were all searched and forced to lay on the ground face-down. With military weapons pointed at them, Bautista said he began wondering whether or not he had enough

restrictions would calm public concerns that controversial projects could seek permits under the current rules while the parcel-by-parcel review chugs through the planning process. He said any actual restrictions and details of proposed regulations have not formed. Those will come next month. But the idea behind interim rules is to not allow changes to the waterfront that might ultimately be inconsistent with any new rules that would be developed during the subarea plan process.

“It’s not a moratorium,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be a blanket prohibition of all future development.”

The commission will hear more details about what interim regulations city planners recommend at its regular meeting on July 19.

Until then, city staffers will draft a roster of interim regulations to explore as well as plan a public hearing regarding any changes before the commission forwards any recommendation to

the City Council. The commission is tentatively scheduled to conduct the public hearing on Sept. 20 and make its recommendation to the council in October.

The City Council would then hold its own public hearing and consider final action in November.

The City Council and Port of Tacoma Commission signed a partnership to jointly fund a $1 million subarea plan for the Tideflats earlier this year.

The review, which will likely take between two and five years, will examine zoning and land-use rules for the industrial and commercial hub of the region that is home to shipping terminals, heavy industrial businesses and fuel refineries. But the “partnership” hit rough seas almost from the start, when the city’s resolution included the Puyallup Tribe as a partner, while the port’s version downgraded the tribe to “stakeholder” status and

insurance for his kids. As a result, Bautista said he now advises all military personnel to make sure their paperwork and insurance policies are in order before they are dispatched into active duty.

KWA Executive Director Troy Christensen ended the night’s festivities by speaking about how KWA is affiliated with numerous social services programs, including those that assist with immigration, senior wellness, healthcare and domestic violence assistance. He said KWA helps people seek naturalization in America. He also mentioned how KWA helps individuals navigate the medical system as well as get families and seniors into affordable housing. In his closing remarks, Christensen spoke of long established Korean values that involve caring for senior parents.

This Taste of Korea event was part of the 5th Annual Korean Cultural Week effort sponsored by the General Consulate Office in Seattle. KWA has participated in Korean Cultural Week every year and this was the second annual event for the Taste of Korea.

Do not despair! If you missed Friday's Korean Food Festival you still have time to mark your calendar for 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 14. That is when the Korean Women's Association's 45th Anniversary Celebration happens at the Tacoma Trade & Convention Center.

added Pierce County as a partner. City and port officials will now have to negotiate the difference in their resolutions in a heated political environment regarding who sits at the review table.

The Planning Commission’s meeting foreshadowed the heated debate as port and business groups voiced concern about the economic uncertainty interim regulations would have on drawing new businesses to the Tideflats, while environmental groups decried the idea of allowing petrochemical companies to locate on the waterway before the subarea plan enacts tighter zoning restrictions. They pointed to the controversial – and dead – plans for a methanol plant as an example of “old technology” the city should avoid as well as the rising protests about the construction of Puget Sound Energy’s liquefied natural gas facility on a former Superfund

site as a project out of touch with the future of the city.

These developments caused Tacoma’s Tideflats to rank as the second highest endangered location in the state on the environmental watchdog Sightline Institute’s report against “dirty energy expansion projects.” Tops on the list was the Lower Columbia River, which has nearly a dozen fossil fuel proposals under consideration.

Shipping activities on the waterfront provide some 29,000 direct and indirect family-wage jobs and $223 million in state and local taxes. As a staterecognized Manufacturing/ Industrial Center, the working waterfront is a key part of regional job growth, particularly since it contains several large parcels of developable land. That’s a fact that makes any zoning change a matter of regional concern, as well as raises complexity to the process.

SUMMER SPORTS CALENDAR HAS SOME GEMS

aseball is a fickle business. One year you’re an all-star, the next you’re bench fodder. A seemingly minor tear of a small elbow ligament can cause a workhorse pitcher to miss two full seasons. More than just fickle, however, it’s also very streaky. Beyond the yearly variation, there’s an enormous amount of ebb and flow within a single baseball season. Because both huge seasonal variations and numerous in-season hot and cold streaks happen with astonishing regularity, it can get very hard to tell one from the other.

Is my team slumping, or are they just not as good as last year? One of those things is true for the Rainiers this year. They’re either stuck in an ugly slump or they’re just not the same team they were last year.

Coming off a Pacific Coast League Northern Division championship in 2016, they’re really struggling right now. As of this print, Tacoma hasn’t won a series in over two weeks, last defeating the Las Vegas 51s for two out of three ending on Sunday, June 11. They haven’t won two series in a row since mid-May. They haven’t swept a series since April, though they’ve only been swept once in that span. Their record in June currently sits at 8-16, and they’ve fallen to eight games behind the Reno Aces in the PCL North. Their offense is mostly to blame, as they are fourth from the bottom of the PCL in runs scored, while their pitching has remained a strength, allowing the fourth fewest runs in the PCL.

BUCKLE DOWN. Despite some recent struggles on the field, fans

continue to flock to Cheney Stadium to support their Rainier's, and to take in some gorgeous weather. The annual Independence Day fireworks show is set for Tuesday, July 3, and there are a handful of reserved seats still available. Tacoma will wear special USA themed jerseys during the July 3 game, that will be sold via silent auction. All proceeds will go to Jamie's Heart Foundation.

Summer is here and that means it’s high time to get out of the house and take in some exciting sporting events. Luckily, the Tacoma area has several events going down over the next couple of months that should be able to bridge the gap between now and football season in the late summer.

Some of these sports are your regular variety fare, while another may very well be something that doesn’t appear in the Puget Sound again for several decades.

We’ll cut to the chase on this one. Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 29 and Saturday, August 5. Just do it. Trust us. You are going to be spending the day and evening down at Point Ruston, and it’s probably going to change your life.

When I heard about the World Water Ski Racing Championships coming to town, I have to admit that it made me snicker a little bit. Of course, once I delved into the details of this competition set for the waters off Point Ruston, I was sold in a heartbeat.

Professional, international water skiers flying over the waters of Commencement Bay hitting speeds of 100 miles per hour is the sort of dangling carrot that will lead this writer to clear his calendar for both days and formulate my travel plans down the hill.

Throw in roaring speed boats pushing 1,600 horsepower, and I couldn’t be any more sold on the idea. The fact that the men race for 60 minutes, the women for 45 and the juniors for 30, has this guy wondering how they can do it. These people have got to be iron men and iron women.

Every two years, skiers representing nearly a couple dozen countries meet up at an exotic locale to duke it out for the title of “fastest in the world.” With the event having not taken place in the United States in over 10 years, the fact that it will be dropping anchor down at the new-look Point Ruston, should have locals champing at the bit to take part in it.

The racing event will be part of the planned two-weekend Sunfest at Ruston.

There will be plenty of food, music and hopefully sunshine for the Tacoma masses.

Here’s the best part of the World Water Ski Racing Championships; it’s all free to the public. With the cost of tickets to most sporting events causing some folks to lose sleep these days, the opportunity to attend such a novel event for free is pretty much Christmas coming early.

There will also be some amazing stunt, water ski demos planned for both days, as well as some amazing sky diving.

For those that need their football fix before the pigskins start flying through the sky in September, we’ve got your hook-up.

On Saturday, July 8, you’re going to be wanting to head out for the short drive to Sumner’s Sunset Stadium. The 6 p.m. kickoff between the Puyallup Nation Kings and the Pierce County Bengals should be the

Sportswatch BENNETT FOUNDATION MAKES MOVE TO IMPROVE LIVES OF 100 AFRICAN GIRLS

Seattle Seahawks’ star defensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Michael Bennett and his wife Pele have partnered with the African-led global movement iamtheCODE to get 100 marginalised girls in Africa into STEAMD (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, arts and design).

Michael and Pele Bennett started the Bennett Foundation to encourage kids and their families to live a healthy lifestyle through community outreach, educational workshops, physical activity, and nutritional programs.

They’ve recently expanded their outreach and hope to support more minority communities through a variety of activities that including STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics,) disciplines.

The iamtheCODE movement is designed to promote access in the area of STEAMD (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, arts and design) for women and girls in marginalized communities. Their goal is to mobilize governments, investors, foundations, civil society and the private sector to invest in the future digital leaders. iamtheCODE wants to ensure that by 2030, 1 million women and girls are enabled through technology, digital citizenship and literacy.

Recently recognized by the United Nations high level Panel for Economic Empowerment, iamtheCODE have shown global success by partnering with local and international technology organizations and schools to deliver its pedagogy and technology. Together, they provide a complete system designed to not only enable, but gets students excited, to be protagonists in the construction of knowledge while teaching basic principles and core concepts of programming.

Created by the renowned Senegalese-British technologist and young global leader, Marième Jamme, iamtheCODE is an African-led global movement that have joined forces with world top technology companies to improve the representation of women and girls in the field of ICT. The movement aims to give to most marginalized access to digital education and increase their employability in the tech industry.

Michael Bennett, founder of The Bennett Foundation, said, “I am truly excited to help these girls in Africa to learn how to code and gain technical skills through iamtheCODE. My wife Pele and I are very proud to support the building of solid tech training pipelines in communities in Africa” Pele Bennett also said: “Michael and I value deeply that the education of girls in marginalised and deprived communities is being taken care of and highlighted by the iamtheCODE initiative. We are proud to be able to support young girls to ensure they have a quality education in technology and in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) as this is truly the future.

This co-creation with iamtheCODE will build better lives, create opportunities for girls who are often left behind into the field of tech, and will be catalyzed by internships and industry engagement in the future.”

The Bennetts and iamtheCODE believe in the vision of having 1 million women and girls coders by 2030, therefore are committed to starting with 100 girls in three African countries this year and more next year.

About #iamtheCODE The iamtheCODE movement is designed to promote access in the area of STEAMD (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, arts and design) for women and girls in marginalised communities. Our goal is to mobilize governments, investors, civil society and the private sector to invest in future technologies.

The conference that supplies the top point getter in the West has its second and third place teams play off for another spot in the Western Conference finals. The first and second place finishers in the other two divisions in the West then play off for the final two spots. So, the Sounders U23 are still in a fight for post season play with four games left in the regular season, currently in third place behind Calgary Foothills at 7-1-2 at 23 points and the Portland Timbers U23’s at 5-1-4 and 19 points. In the other two Western Conference divisions, Fresno Fuego leads at 8-2-0 with 24 points, and FC Tucson leads at 6-2-1 with 19 points.

On Friday, June 23, the Sounders U23 team flew to Calgary and played the same day at 7 p.m. With a miscommunication early, Dom Russo slotted home a goal to give Calgary the lead. Miguel Berry then responded for the Sounders U23 team to tie the game up on some good work from Adam Jones. With about 20 minutes to play in the game, things got very interesting. Calgary Foothills was awarded a free kick from the 40-yard line that left most of the Sounders U23 faithful scratching their heads.

The ball was whipped into the box and young sub, William Akio, headed it past Cam Frost to go up 2-1. The Sounders U23 then started to attack the Calgary goal and were awarded a free kick on a Calgary foul. A Calgary player then kicked the ball away as Ian Antley attempted to set the ball for the free kick. Another Calgary player then grabbed the ball, stalling the game. Antley pushed the player to get the ball back and was issued a yellow card, his second. Antley was given a red card resulting in missing the Sunday game. With two minutes remaining in extra time, Sam Jones took a free kick on the top of the box that was saved by Dylan Powley. The final score was 2-1 Calgary.

On Sunday, June 25, after losing Antley to the double yellow along with Tyler John and Macca King to injury, the depleted Sounders U23 team faced the Calgary team again. An early mistake led to another quality goal from Dom Russo and Calgary were in the driver’s seat 1-0.

Eddie Na had some great runs on the day, and he narrowly missed tying the game after getting behind the Foothills defense. As the game progressed, it became more and more physical and with 20 minutes remaining in the match Russo went into a tackle on Conner Antley resulting in Antley’s exit from the game with an injury that could have been much worse. Depleted by injury and circumstance, goalkeeper Cam Frost was forced into action at the striker position. The Sounders U23 attacked the goal over and over but to no avail. The top team in the division showed their prowess again with a 1-0 win.

“We respect Tommy Wheeldon and Calgary and they have had our number for a run here,” said Sounders U23 head coach Darren Sawatzky, “We play a physical brand this year based on our personnel but there have been some tackles this season with career ending implications.

Hard play is one thing, but watching players go after others is tough. No excuses from us, we will prepare this week for a very good TSS Rovers team and work to stay in contention for post season play.”

The Sounders U23 return to Sunset Stadium to face TSS Rovers on Saturday, July 1 at 7:30 p.m. With much to play for, this game should be an exciting event for the fans. Sounders U23 tickets and information can be found at www.soundersu23.com.

best regular season game on the Western Washington Football Alliance calendar.

A win for the two-time, defending champion Kings would wrap up another division title for Puyallup, and almost assure them home field advantage at Chief

Leschi Stadium throughout the playoffs.

While the Bengals are a longshot for the division crown, they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, and that makes this veteran squad all the more dangerous.

The Bengals are led by head coach Ron Baines, who is a flat-out Puget Sound legend. He guided his squad to the 2014 WWFA title, upsetting an undefeated Kings squad that was at the top of the national polls. With a playoff spot on the

Despite the struggles, the Rainiers had an enormous opportunity to gain ground on the Aces quickly as they squared off in Reno for a four-game set beginning on Thursday, June 22. The Rainiers began the series trailing Reno by six games in the standings. Hoping to chip away at that deficit, they sent right-hander Tyler Cloyd to the mound in game one. Cloyd was effective, though unable to last very long, as he tossed four innings of one-run ball before handing the ball to Cody Martin, who allowed a run in two innings of work. Led by solo homers off the bat of Leonys Martin and Boog Powell (who went 3-4 and scored two runs), Tacoma entered the ninth inning tied 2-2. In the top of the ninth, Andrew Aplin hit a groundball single to center field, and due to the angle the ball came off the bat, Boog Powell was able to get a great jump from second base and score without a play at the plate to give the Rainiers a 3-2 lead.

Unfortunately, that didn’t last long, as Ildemaro Vargas (who had been hit by the previous pitch) came around to score on a double over the head of Aplin in right-field by former Mariner and Rainier Ketel Marte, handing Tacoma closer Jean Machi his second consecutive blown save. Marte later scored the winning run when Oswaldo

line, expect the Bengals to give Puyallup everything they can handle.

On Saturday, July 15, the next installment of CageSport will be going down in the showroom at the Emerald Queen Casino. While each past event has offered up some quality action, it’s not too often that you get to see fighters roll through the area who are destined for the big stage. That fighter is Yakima’s Julian “Juicy” Erosa, who is currently the Cag-

Arcia’s line drive hit off the glove of center fielder Leonys Martin, handing Reno a walk-off win and Machi his second consecutive loss.

After posting just three runs in the series opener, the Rainier offense looked to get things going the following night against left-hander Aaron Laffey, and that’s exactly what they did, hanging 13 runs and 21 hits on him for a 13-6 victory. Every Rainier batter scored at least one run, and the only one to go hitless was shortstop Tyler Smith.

Catcher Steve Baron and first baseman DJ Peterson both posted four-hit outings, while left-fielder Tyler O’Neill and designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach each collected three hits. O’Neill’s three hits came by way of a basesclearing double and a pair of two-run homers, giving him seven RBI on the night, which tied for the most by any PCL player this season. Laffey doesn’t have the best track record against Tacoma. over three starts and two relief appearances he’s never posted as many innings as runs allowed, and he owns a 10.46 ERA against the Rainiers.

The Rainiers struggled out of the gate in game three of the series, as Christian Bergman was roughed up for five runs over 4.2 innings, and they were unable to inflict much damage on Anthony Banda, who tossed six innings of two-run ball. Tacoma was able to break through against Erik Davis in the top of the eighth, however, tying the game at 5-5 on Vogelbach’s three-run long ball.

The momentum was short-lived, however, as Pat Light allowed a sacrifice fly to Vargas and a three-run homer to Oswaldo Arcia in the bottom of the eighth to put Reno back on top 9-5, where they remained as Jimmie Sherfy slammed the door with a two-strikeout ninth inning.

With their two losses of the series coming in particularly disappointing fashion as they failed to protect leads, the series finale against Reno was simply an unmitigated disaster. Rob Whalen was knocked around for eight runs in only 3.1 innings, and on the other side, Eric Jokisch was dominant, spinning seven shutout frames. The Rainiers did finally scratch across a run against Brooks Hall in the top of the eighth, but it proved to be far too little, far too late as the Rainiers dropped the game 9-1 and the series three games to one.

Leaving Reno and heading home to face the “other” Nevada team, the Las Vegas 51s, the Rainiers played one of the craziest games in club history. Right-hander Chase de Jong was clobbered for eight runs over 5.1 innings, and received zero runs of support, exiting with an 8-0 deficit. In the bottom of the sixth, the Rainier bats got to work erasing that deficit, plating three runs. They followed it up with a two-run seventh inning, and then a four-run eighth to complete the comeback and take a 9-8 lead. Emilio Pagan promptly slammed the door in the ninth, striking out the side and locking up the largest comeback by the Rainiers since they began tracking that

esport lightweight champion.

With a professional record of 19-4, and a style all his own, Erosa has dazzled fans several times at the EQC. He has also gained quite a following after a successful run on the Ultimate Fighter 22, where he finished as the runner-up. Don’t be surprised to see this guy on the big UFC or Bellator stage in the near future. He’ll be fighting for one of the international belts one of these days. We’re calling it.

statistic. The explosion was highlighted by long balls off the bats of O’Neill, Aplin, and Martin.

The following night, Sin City flipped the script on the Rainiers. Tacoma led 7-3 going into the top of the eighth inning and the ball was rutned over to Mark Lowe, who promptly gave up a couple of runs. Lowe was then replaced by Machi, who then gave up four hits and a walk with added up to another three runs for the 51s and another blown save by the MLB veteran in the 8-7 loss.

If this is just a slump, the Rainiers will need to snap out of it, and soon. They’re eight games behind Reno for the PCL North lead, and only one game ahead of thirdplace Fresno. If they can’t turn it around, fans will be forced to wrestle with the possibility that this just isn’t the same Rainier ball club we saw last year.

Perhaps a healthier Seattle Mariners squad will have a trickle-down effect on the Rainiers. There’s still a full summer of baseball ahead of us.

Tacoma is less than two weeks away from the Triple-A All-Star Game at Cheney Stadium. The best of the Pacific Coast League and International League will square off on Wednesday, July 12, two days after the best young sluggers from each league square off in the Triple-A Home Run Derby. Get your tickets before they’re gone.

Up with the big club: The Mariners skyrocketed up the American League wild card standings over the last week or so, running off as a six-game winning streak that included wins against Texas and Houston sandwiched around a four-game sweep of Detroit. They currently sit just two games behind Minnesota and Cleveland, who are tied for the AL Central lead and second wildcard spot. Outfielder Ben Gamel continues to write his Rookie of the Year resume, though it’s likely in vain as the Yankees’ Aaron Judge looks to be running away with the award. Judge is one hit shy of holding the American League lead in each of the Triple Crown categories (batting average, home runs and runs batted in). Gamel’s year has been nonetheless breathtaking. If the season ended as of this writing, he would win the American League batting title.

Elsewhere on the farm: Seven members of the Arkansas Travelers represented the Mariners organization in the Double-A Texas League All-Star Game on Tuesday. Those seven were catcher Tyler Marlette, outfielders Chuck Taylor and Ian Miller, infielder Kyle Waldrop, and pitchers Zac Curtis, Tyler Herb and Peter Tago. All four position players were part of the starting lineup for the North division, and they combined to go 2-12. Miller led off the game with a triple, and two batters later Taylor drove him in with a blast to left-center, plating two of the North’s three runs. Tago and Curtis each tossed a scoreless inning.

MEMBERS OF HEART’S CLASSIC LINEUP TO ROCK FREEDOM FAIR WITH NEW BAND

By Ernest A. Jasmin

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

If bassist Steve Fossen hadn’t played Tacoma as a teen, he might not be famous for playing in a band called the Army.

“We played around for about a year,” he said, recalling the Kenmore quartet he formed in 1967 with high school friends Don Wilhelm, Ray Shaefer and Roger Fisher. “We were playing a club in Tacoma, and they said because it was so close to Fort Lewis, they didn’t want a band called the Army playing there. So we had to change our name. I believe it (the club) was called the Hi-Hat.” Fossen and company changed their name to White Heart in the fall of 1968, a reference to Arthur C. Clarke’s novel “Tales of the White Heart.” And who knows what butterfly-wing chain reaction that sent rippling through rock’s time lines? In reality, White Heart shortened their name to Heart, then briefly switched to Hocus Pocus, and then back to Heart again en route to becoming one of the most popular Northwest rock bands of all time.

Fossen will return to Tacoma on the Fourth of July to play Freedom Fair, but hopefully that appearance won’t force him to change the name of his current band, Heart

by Heart. That group – also former Heart drummer Mike Derosier, vocalist Somar Macek, singer-guitarist Lizzy Daymont and guitarist Randy Hansen – will take the Ram’s Bighorn Stage at 8 p.m. to rock Independence Day revelers with “Magic Man,” “Crazy On You,” “Barracuda” and other hits that earned Heart a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.

Fossen recently recalled how his old band’s classic lineup started to take shape in the early ‘70s, after Ann Wilson answered a Hocus Pocus ad seeking a new lead singer.

“We toured around for about six months, and she met Roger’s older brother, Mike, and they fell in love,” Fossen recalled “He, at the time, lived in Vancouver. So we decided to take the band to Canada, and the only people who wanted to go were Roger, Ann and myself.” Ann’s guitarist sister, Nancy, followed in 1974.

“We started playing clubs in Vancouver, and pretty soon we were one of the top bands in the area,” Fossen

said. “That’s when Mushroom Records had some people come out and look at us and asked us to do a demo. One thing led to another, and they asked us to record ‘Dreamboat Annie.’”

The rest, as they say, is history. Not that all those club-hopping Canucks realized how lucky they were to be among the first to hear the future classic. Locals were more into their Deep Purple covers back then.

As Ann Wilson told Tacoma Weekly last year, “We snuck ‘Crazy On You’ in, and people sat there and kind of stared at us. “Whuuuuuuuut?” Then we went back and did a couple of Zeppelin songs, and they were like, ‘Yeah! OK! That’s what we want.’ So the originals didn’t really work that well because people didn’t know us.”

Those “no respect moments” lasted for a while, despite the band’s building momentum – at least until a serendipitous firing on the road in Alberta. “We got hired to play this club in Calgary,” Fossen said. “It was called the Inferno or something like that. I think it was a Monday night. We pulled up and set up and played. For some reason, we didn’t hit it off with the owner of the club.”

By Thursday, the owner had had enough. “After we played, the guy goes, ‘You know what? Your band does not work at our club.’ So they fired us.”

The band was crushed, especially drummer Howard Leese, who had just joined only to lose his first gig.

Moods quickly elevated back at the hotel, though, after they took a call from their label. Management at Mushroom wondered if they could get out of the next night’s gig.

“As a matter of fact, we just got fired,” Fossen said.

“They said, ‘Good, ‘cause we got you a slot opening up for Rod Stewart in Toronto and Montreal.’

“So we go through the Rockies, and the first gig was in Montreal. I think our first song could have been ‘Magic Man.’ There was a good 14,000 people, and the place just went nuts. I’d never heard the roar of a crowd that big in my whole life. That was probably the most exciting thing I had ever heard up until that moment.”

The band scored a string of hits through the late ‘70s as it released some of its most iconic albums: “Little Queen,” “Dog & Butterfly,” “Bebe le Strange.” But the band’s popularity eventually waned for a few years, and

TAMED WEST? Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium will debut an allnew live-action animal show called “The West is Wild” this weekend. Among its stars are “Sheruff” Bones, aka Herald the Dog, who will come in riding in a hot air balloon; Clark the king vulture will fly swoop over the crowd; a pair of clouded leopards, named Bach and Beethoven; and Gonzo the southern tamandua (aka anteater) who will show off his impossibly long tongue. There’s even an environmental theme in their hometown of Triple R, whose motto is “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Zoo tickets are available online at www.pdza.org with prices ranging from $7.95 to $15.95.

HE DOES HAVE TALENT, PIERS MORGAN! Ivan Pecel’s comedy juggling act may not have impressed Morgan or “The Hoff” on “America’s Got Talent,” but he’s sure to inspire “oohs and ahhs” and a few laughs this weekend at Tacoma Comedy Club, 933 Market St. Pecel has performances scheduled for 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and tickets are still available with prices ranging from $16 to $22.

Fossen and Derosier were out by 1982. The band’s classic lineup didn’t play together again until they shared the Rock Hall stage to perform “Crazy on You” more than three decades later.

“It was super exciting,” Fossen said. “When you look at all the people that are in the Hall of Fame, you just go ‘gosh.’ Our music did stand the test of time, because if you listen to classic radio nowadays, Heart is part of every classic lineup there is. We got in there.”

Though not all of their friendships have been mended, Fossen described their interactions as cordial. “You can be friendly without being friends, I guess,” he said, adding that he’d met Ann backstage at Seattle’s Moore Theatre in March and wished her a happy birthday by e-mail last month. “Ann and I were pretty good friends back in the day. It is what it is. She’s moved on in her life, and I’ve moved on in mine. We’re both having a good time and enjoying what we’re doing.”

Lately, it’s been the Wilson sisters that haven’t been getting along. Rolling Stone reported they split up after Ann’s husband assaulted Nancy’s teenage sons backstage in August at Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre, their last show together.

Later, they told the magazine that they had started patching things up; but Fossen floated this idea for speeding up the process: “In my opinion, if (Ann) and Nancy could patch up their differences, and they could patch up their differences with Mike and Howard and Rog and I; and we all toured as the original Heart, I’m sure it would be huge. Heart by Heart, with just Mike and I, is really doing well right now.”

FIVE LET’S GET WEIRD The latest in oddball cult cinema to be showcased by Grand Cinema’s Weird Elephant series is “Buster’s Mal Heart.” The film is trending at 76 on Rotten Tomatoes (www.rottentomatoes. com) and stars Rami Malek, DJ Qualls and Kate Lyn Sheil. In it, a family man’s chance encounter with a conspiracy-obsessed drifter sends him on the run from the police and an impending event known as The Inversion.

“It’s a confident weirdness that ‘Buster’s Mal Heart’ boasts as it dissects a damaged soul for signs of what’s eternal and what’s triggered when a man breaks in two,” writes Los Angeles Times critic Robert Abele. The Grand – located at 606 S. Fawcett St. – will screen the film at 11 p.m. Saturday, July 1.

Tickets cost $5.50 to $10; www.grandcinema.com.

ROGER WATERS BASHES TRUMP, THRILLS WITH TIMELESS PINK FLOYD CLASSICS

PHOTO BY BILL BUNGARD

CLASSIC ROCK. On Saturday, Roger Waters (right) delivered classic Pink Floyd cuts – favorites like “Breathe,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Comfortably Numb” – and compelling new material from this year’s “Is This the Life We Really Want?” Find more photos online at www.tacomaweekly.com.

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

And you thought Kathy Griffin didn’t like Donald Trump. Since the comedian made headlines, stirring up controversy and shedding endorsements with her infamous bloody mask photo, rock legend and former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters has been hosting his own roasts of the Donald on his new “Us + Them” tour.

Among the show’s most memorable moments Saturday night at the Tacoma Dome was a good 20 minutes of multimedia satire.

It’s no shocker that the 73-year-old English rocker would wear his lefty political leanings on his sleeve.

Waters sneaked a few George W. Bush digs into his “Dark Side of the Moon” set in 2006, after all; but those were subtle compared to the high-tech sledgehammer he took to our CEO-in-Chief during “Pigs (Three Different Ones).”

Blaring sirens and flashing red lights heralded Pink Floyd’s 11-minute screed against oligarchs as 18,000 fans anticipated a big reveal. Onstage, waiters in sheep masks poured champagne for their wealthy pig masters as translucent screens descended from the rafters, running the length of the arena floor. Those at first recreated the bleak factory imagery from Pink Floyd’s 1977 album, “Animals.”; but presently, fans found themselves mesmerized by a flurry of splashy, anti-Trump imagery, done in a style that recalled Andy Warhol’s pop art or Terry Gilliam’s cutout animation from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus.”

The president appeared onscreen, “charade” stamped across his snarling mug (as in “ha ha, charaaaaade you

are”). He was depicted as a man-pig, as a Klansman, on the verge of chomping a hoagie-sized sex toy. His bestie, Vladmir Putin, even made an appearance, cradling a fussy baby Trump in his arms.

A mini-van-sized pig drone appeared midway through the song, “piggy bank of war” emblazoned on one side, Trump declaring “I won” on the other. It cruised around the arena as dozens of Trump’s most infamous tweets and quotes flashed onscreen. (Oh yeah, he did say that creepy thing about his daughter.) In case that was all too subtle, “Trump is a pig” appeared in massive, neon letters as the song came to a close. This all went over well since this wasn’t a Ted Nugent crowd.

The Trump-bashing inevitably continued with followup number “Money.” But the show’s broader themes were about the growing chasm between haves and havenots, and the fraudulent forces that turn people against one another; hence the decision to name this one after 1973’s wistful “Us and Them.”

It’s as timeless a rock song as has ever been written, its continued relevance underscored by imagery from Black Lives Matter protests and footage of drone strikes poignantly juxtaposed with close-ups of children who are too often their casualties.

One of the show’s most affecting moments was actually a twist on a gimmick Waters employed last time he was in town, in 2010 with his “The Wall” tour. The rocker recruited a group of local school children who marched out in matching prison jumpsuits for “The Happiest Days of Our Lives/ Another Brick in the Wall.”

From a distance, most appeared to be black or Latino, their gazes cast downward for several moments. Something stirred when Waters launched into Pink Floyd’s

most iconic refrain, though. “We don’t need no education,” he sang. “We don’t need no thought control.”

Those kids brightened up, their joy palpable as they enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame, dancing on the T-Dome stage. By song’s end, they’d ripped off their jumpsuits to reveal T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan: “resist,” a hopeful image for bleak times.

Waters’ band was phenomenal throughout the twohour set. Singer-guitarist Dave Kilminster notably did a solid David Gilmour impression, singing lead on “Breathe” and nailing some of Floyd’s most iconic solos; and backup singers Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig were a blast to watch, adorned in matching white wigs as they turned the vocal solo from “The Great Gig in the Sky” into a jazzy, back-and-forth duet.

Waters also notably performed a few cuts from his first album in 24 years, “Is This the Life We Really Want?” Standouts included “Smell the Roses,” with a groove that vaguely recalls “Wish You Were Here,” “Have a Cigar,” and the dreamy, heart-rending “Last Refugee.” With Pink Floyd, Waters created some of the most potent and original music of the rock era; and half a century into his run he still has something to say.

Set list: “Breathe,” “One of These Days,” “Time/ Breathe (Reprise),” “The Great Gig in the Sky,” “Welcome to the Machine,” “When We Were Young,” “Déjá Vu,” “The Last Refugee,” “Picture That,” “Wish You Were Here,” “The Happiest Days of Our Lives,” “Another Brick in the Wall” “Dogs,” “Pigs (Three Different Ones),” “Money,” “Us and Them,” “Smell the Roses,” “Brain Damage,” “Eclipse,” “Vera,” “Bring the Boys Back Home,” “Comfortably Numb”

GALEN TURNER LIGHTS UP Culture Corner WOOLWORTH WINDOWS A GUIDE TO CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS OF TACOMA Goings on this Week in Tacoma: WITH NEON EXHIBIT “Thoroughly Modern Millie” Through July 8, Fridays and Saturdays 7:30 p.m., Sundays 2 p.m.

Paradise Theatre, 3114 Judson St., Gig Harbor, WA 98335 Info: www.paradisetheatre.org The winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” was the 2002 season’s most awarded new show on Broadway. Based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” takes you back to the height of the Jazz Age in New York City, when moderns including a flapper named Millie Dillmount were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love.

This high-spirited musical romp is a delightful valentine to the long-standing spirit of New York City and the people who seek to discover themselves there.

BLAST OFF. Galen Turner’s neon-enhanced rocket ship, equipped with horn and saddle, is part of the artist’s installation in Woolworth Windows.

By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

Neon signs loom in the night. They float in the twilight of memory as one drifts away on recollections of childhood road trips. They emerge through the gloom during wanderings through the night side of one’s hometown. Neon beer signs beacon to dim taverns. They welcome weary travelers to backwater hotels. I remember a neon go-go dancer outside Amarillo and neon palm trees in Portland. I can recall neon cacti, elephants and cowboys riding bucking broncos. Though the colors are otherworldly, neon glows with the warmth of nostalgia and familiarity. It is much more homey than the bug’s-eye glare and cold harshness of today’s LED lighting.

Neon tubes, lit with brilliant hues, are the medium of choice of Tacoma artist Galen Turner, whose recent installation in the Woolworth Windows attracts the glances of passersby like moths to a porch light. Consisting of a collection of separate compositions, Turner’s “Neon” display is part of the latest group of “Artscapes” to be installed in the windows of the old Woolworth building at 9th and Broadway downtown.

Turner’s exhibit doubled as an advertisement for a fundraiser for Spaceworks Tacoma’s programs. Called NEON, the fundraiser was held on June 10 and raised more than $50,000 to help fund Creative Enterprise, which supports the growth of small businesses; Artscapes; artist studio spaces at 1120 Creative House; and the Spaceworks Gallery.

Beyond working as an attention-getter for the fundraiser, Turner’s contribution is the most eye-catching and dynamic of the current crop of artist installations.

Turner combines neon tubes with objects (often antiques) to make his retro flavored assemblage sculptures. The word “neon,” made in big, metal letters from old signs, hovers over the whole display. Resting on a stack of rustic, wooden soda pop cases and a well-used step ladder is a funky rocket that has been equipped with a wooden saddle frame and an industrial strength horn. A whirl of green neon circles the rocket’s nosecone.

One branch of Turner’s ouvre is the creation of crazy helmets, which are made to be worn. In this show, there is a helmet-centered construction suspended on a length of twine. A fake, T-bone steak is mounted on a hard hat that is equipped with pig’s ears. Beneath this is a mannequin’s pelvis dressed in fancy, bluefringed, hoochie-koochie panties with a pair of blue ears on the hips. A crucifix is strategically fixed to the crotch. A neon emblem of a banana hangs in front of the whole affair. Turner’s sculptures have a lighthearted and irreverent sense of humor, as well as a sense of nostalgia that makes one almost smell the stink of long occupied antique shops. The addition of neon tubes gives the pieces an added dynamism while somehow amping up the nostalgia factor.

Turner began his collecting career as a boy, growing up on Salmon Beach and spending time beach combing. A graduate of Bellarmine Preparatory School, Turner went on to Evergreen State College where he picked up his enthusiasm for neon.

In his alter ego as Gaytron the Imploder (“Tacoma’s crappiest superhero”), Turner dawns mask and cape, lights fireworks on his bicycle and rides over a comically small ramp through a wall of his neon tubes. This year’s installation of the famous “Bike Jump” is scheduled to be held at Museum of Glass on Oct. 21. The event is a benefit for 2nd Cycle, a community bicycle shop that has space for people to work on their own two-wheelers and sells new and used bike parts.

The other Artscapes installations might be called “understated” when comparing them to Turner’s. Kari Boeskov’s “Between” is nothing more than rectangles made with reflective tape that is fixed to the reflective window glass. It is so subtle that it seems like something is missing. Presumably, you’re meant to reflect upon the reflections of yourself and your surroundings. But doesn’t anyone with a little poetry in themselves not do this whenever they come into contact with a reflective surface? Maybe everyone is so busy with their telephones that they decline to notice such things these days.

Another space is occupied with examples of artistic basketry by six members of the National Basketry Organization.

Donna Anderson’s “baskets” resemble squat totem poles composed of stacked forms that are almost, but not quite, like boxy versions of the letters of the alphabet. Katherine Lewis’s “unfinished” baskets are hung on the wall like giant god’s eyes.

Peeta Tinay’s beautiful, lidded baskets are the most traditional of the lot.

Jill Nordfors Clark’s forms incorporate translucent membranes with the skeletons of leaves. They are somewhat reminiscent of some of Dale Chihuly’s glass basket forms. Danielle Bodine’s suspended forms resemble enlarged seed pods, while Larry Bergner’s organic shapes made of flame treated steel mesh resemble mineral samples.

Down around the corner of the building, in the Commerce Street window, is Gabe Babcock’s “We Are One” installation. Working with a Northwest Native story of noisy children that get thrown into the river to become one with the fish, the installation consists of a series of identical paintings that look to be a blend of Salish style and Asian calligraphy. The paintings are all suspended on a madrone wood frame such as would have been used to smoke the flesh of salmon in days gone by.

The current round of artist installations in the Woolworth windows runs through Aug. 17. For additional information on Spaceworks visit spaceworkstacoma.com.

Crafts of the Past: Scrimshaw July 1, 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fort Nisqually, Point Defiance Park, 5400 N. Pearl St. Info: www.metroparkstacoma.org/fort-nisqually-living-history-museum/

The popular Crafts of the Past program returns for its fifth year at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum. Modern practitioners of 19th century artistic traditions share the methods and materials of their work.

Rich Repp has a love for history that led him to the arts of the era of Fort Nisqually. It was a logical progression of arts for him – first with leather work, then horn carving and wire inlay and finally, to scrimshaw. Rich will showcase his powder horn carving and scrimshaw work. His crafts’ demonstration will show the basic overview of what it takes to make a powder horn and personalize it with a design, name or both. Guests will be able to help with the steps to cut, file, shape and finish a typical horn and try some scrimshaw work.

Each weekend from May through September a different artist will be “in-residence” at the Fort with demonstrations and displays of their work. Most will also offer guests the opportunity to try the craft themselves. Featured crafts include 19th century photography, tatting, blacksmithing, Native American basketry, and broom making.

Celebrate MOG’s 15th Anniversary July 6, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Museum of Glass, 1801 Dock St., Tacoma, WA 98402 Info: museumofglass.org It wouldn’t be a celebration without you. To our staff, donors, volunteers, partners, and visitors – your support means the world to us.

Cheers to you, and another 15 years of glass in Tacoma.

Join the Museum of Glass for free admission and a fun-filled celebration with: 15 percent off in the MOG Store, café, and on hands-on opportunities; $15 off on membership purchases; live music from Tacoma family band Pig Snout; sweet treats from Hello, Cupcake; outdoor activities including chalk painting, bean bag toss, and DIY t-shirt painting; a MOG time capsule, awaiting your items; 15-stop scavenger hunt, with prizes.

NEW MUSES MAKES ANTIQUE ITALIAN COMEDY FRESH

AT YOUR SERVICE. (left photo) Andrew Yabroff stars as the trickster/servant Truffaldino in New Muses Theatre Company’s production of Carlo Goldoni’s 1746 comedy “A Servant of Two Masters.” (right photo) Silvio (Sara Geiger) (left) and Beatrice (Mehra Park) have a disaggrement that comes to blows.

By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

Who’s ready for some 18th century, Italian comedy?

Tacomans have the opportunity to sample some vintage continental humor with New Muses Theatre Company’s production of Carlo Goldoni’s 1746 classic “A Servant of Two Masters.”

The story centers around the antics of a servant, Truffaldino – a kind of cleaver idiot – who decides to try to balance two simultaneous employers without one knowing about the other. Both, however, are staying in the same inn, and both are actually in town looking for one another. Mix the basic premise with three, intertwined love stories and you have the ingredients for a comedic juggling of relationships.

The New Muses production was adapted and directed

by Niclas Olson, who must be one of Tacoma’s busiest thespians, what with the running of New Muses, adapting plays, directing, acting and doing work for other theaters.

The set is minimal: black curtains with some columns marking off two of the stage entrances. Seating is located at either side of the stage, placing the audience at an intimate proximity to the action. The actors often make clever side remarks to members of the audience. The stage floor is painted in Harlequin checks of hot pink and electric blue. Upon this vibrant chessboard, the comedic configurations of the characters are set in motion.

I did not know quite what to expect with this play, having never before seen a 250-year-old Italian comedy. What unfolded was surprisingly fresh, delightful and genuinely funny. The audience was buoyed by the humor, evidenced by bursts of laughter throughout the play. The scenes were crisp and concise and everything moved along at a nice clip. Cleverly chosen snippets of pop music made pithy

punctuation marks at the end of each scene.

The star of the show is Andrew Yabroff, who has the titular role of the servant, Truffaldino, a mercurial character that carries the story and its comedy. The comedic elements range from slap stick (literally – there is an actual slapstick employed during the show) to jokes and magic tricks. Truffaldino helps himself to food meant for his employers. He also has a habit of opening mail that does not belong to him (despite the fact that he can’t read) and, at one point, has both employers on the brink of killing themselves. Meanwhile, he is in pursuit of the house maid Smeraldina (Kaylie Rainer,) eventually winning her hand in marriage.

Rainer is sassy and sultry as Smeraldina, the worldly woman of the servant class who is free to deliver a stream of funny observations to the audience as well as to the other characters.

Paul Sobrie portrays the Venetian merchant Pantalone, who is trying to arrange the marriage of his daughter Clarice (Jenna McRill.) Tall and slim, Sobrie delivers his lines with a velvety purr that evokes a musical pleasure.

Sara Geiger portrays the swaggering Silvio, the lover of Clarice. Eager for marriage, Silvio becomes hot-headed and belligerent when Clarice’s former fiancé (thought to have been killed) suddenly comes onto the scene. Silvio’s anger is egged on by his father, Lombardi (Eric CuestasThompson,) who insists that the honor of the family is in jeopardy over the breach of the marriage agreement.

Mehra Park is earnest in the role of Beatrice, who goes through the play disguised as a man (not very convincingly in this case, but as long as the other characters don’t seem to know the difference, it doesn’t matter.)

Angela Parisotto, clad in chef’s coat and a red neckerchief is engaging as the aloof innkeeper Brighella and Jessica Robins, in horn-rimmed glasses, fills in the roles

of porter and waitress.

In addition to having adapted and directed the play, Olson takes on the role of Florindo, another merchant newly arrived in Venice on business of his own. Wearing a fedora, Olson plays Florindo as cool as a cucumber, often sporting a wry grin that hints at secret knowledge.

Behind the scenes, Bethany Bevier keeps things moving along with the lighting and sound. She also did the costumes for the show: suave and contemporary. The only hint that Truffaldino is a variant of Harlequin is the diagonal check pattern on his bow tie.

The playwright, Goldoni, was a prolific maker of plays in his time. He once penned 16 comedies is a single year. He ended up going to France and becoming part of the court of Louie XVI at Versailles.

For “A Servant of Two Masters,” Goldoni used stock characters drawn from the commedia dell’arte tradition.

Characters like Harlequin, Columbine, Pierrot, Pantalone, the Doctor and the Captain could be cast in endless combinations of relationships in ever new storylines. Coming out of Dark Age church dramas, the commedia dell’arte was a bridge to modern drama.

While we still get our share of classics of Shakespeare, it is a rare treat to come across an example of work that utilizes the old commedia dell’arte characters. The New Muses production of this Goldoni classic is a must see for those interested in theatrical history. In addition to that, it’s just darn good entertainment.

Housed in Dukesbay Theater (in the Merlino building – location of the Grand Cinema,) plays by the New Muses Theatre Company always have an intimate feel that you won’t get at the larger theaters in town. This play is highly recommended. “A Servant of Two Masters” runs through July 9. For more information visit www. newmuses.com.

The Hambone Blues Band may not have formed if not for Tacoma rock legend Jerry Miller.

Bassist Charlie Mayberry and singer-guitarist Corky Zengota recall being drawn into Spanaway’s Uncle Sam’s Bar & Grill – a venue that would become their home away from home after spotting the Moby Grape guitarist’s name on the marquee. “Corky kept saying, ‘I’d like to go in there and see Jerry play,’ Mayberry recalled. “I says, ‘I know Jerry. But if we show up, we’ve gotta bring our guitars. He’s gonna insist on us playing.’ I used to play a lot with Jerry.�

Mayberry had called it correctly, and their performance made a big impression. “So then Craig (Arrowood), the owner, I’ve known him forever, too,� he said. “He goes, ‘You guys get a band together. I want you to play here.’�

The first incarnation of the Hambone Blues Band was born. The quartet – also guitarist Chuck Muller and drummer Steve Parton – will join forces with Miller once more on Saturday, July 1, in the name of a good cause. Those acts will open a benefit concert and bike rally to benefit Operation Ward 57. The Fort Lewis-based charity supports wounded, ill and injured service members, veterans and their caregivers. (Learn more at www. operationward57.org.)

When asked why he wanted to raise money for the group, Arrowood said, “I always want to do something for the troops (and) probably 97 percent of the funds go to help the vets.�

Organizers are requesting a $10 suggested donation to attend the show and take part in the motorcycle rally that will precede it. Bikers will depart from Uncle Sam’s – which is located at 16003 Pacific Ave., in Spanaway – and swing by local Harley Davidson dealerships before returning for the show an hour later.

Hambone Blues Band will get the musical portion of the afternoon started at 2 p.m. followed

by Miller at 3 p.m. “He’s gonna have an all-star band of musicians who have been around forever,� Arrowood said, “like Tom Murphy, who played in the Robert Cray Band.�

Pretenders tribute band Mystery Achievement is up next at 4:30 p.m., followed by an auction from 5:30 p.m. to approximately 6:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. “That’s the real money maker, so we’ve gotta give that time,� Arrowood said.

RILEY Featured Pet Riley is a playful puppy who had a bit of a ruff start. The one-year-old stray came to us with entropion in both of his eyes. This is where the eyelids roll inwards, causing great irritation to the eye. Our vet team rose to the occasion, performing surgery to ease the little guy’s discomfort. Look beyond the cone, and you’re sure to fall hard and fast for this wiggle butt.

Riley’s fortunate forever family will need to have the Pit Bull’s sutures removed and eyes regularly checked by a veterinarian. But trust us, he’s well worth it. #A518179
