PIERCE COUNTY SET TO GROW ECONOMICALLY IN 2016 AVERAGE EMPLOYMENT IS EXPECTED TO GROW BY ABOUT 3.4 PERCENT RETAIL SALES IN 2016 ARE LIKELY TO GROW TO 5.1 PERCENT

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

All is not sunshine and rainbows in the local economy, but at least the clouds are clearing.

The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber’s annual Horizons Economic Forecast breakfast last week gave local economy watchers a forecast of the year to come based on national and local business data.

Those numbers show that employment numbers are improving, as are wage and housing statistics. Inflation rates are still relatively low.

“Over 2016, average employment is expected to grow by about 3.4 percent for a total of 309,000 jobs by the end of 2016.”

currently involved in schematic designs for two potential parks along the waterway.

METRO PARKS HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS ON TWO POTENTIAL PARKS

By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

On Jan. 14, Metro Parks Tacoma and the Foss Waterway Development Authority held a public meeting to get input from the community on two potential parks coming to Foss Waterway, Central Park and Waterway Park and Rowing Center.

The two new park spaces are to include walkways, picnic areas, shelters, and other general site enhancements, including a review and update of the 2009 Adaptive Re-use Study for the Berg Scaffolding Building in the Waterway Park location, for use as a boathouse facility to house kayaks, paddleboards, dragon boats, and other hand carry watercrafts.

“Right now, the feasibility of reusing

[the Berg Scaffolding Building] is good, it’s more of what the public is looking for, do they want to see the building repurposed or do they want a new one? The Waterway Park is more based on that boat launch, storage, event space to go with any sort of event. The Authority says they’re low on boat storage; this might be a solution,” Project Manager Kristi Evans said.

Other plans for the parks includes Extension of the Waterfront Esplanade. s Restroom facilities design s Expanded parking and water access facilities s Interpretive signage s Landscape and garden upgrades s Main line utility upgrades for u See PARKS / page A8

LECTURE. Congressman Derek Kilmer spoke

about his new bill, his history in congress and how youth could get politically involved when he stopped by Lincoln High School on Jan. 14.

Residents of Pierce County and the surrounding areas will have better access to desperately needed mental health services with approval of a new psychiatric hospital.

The Washington State Department of Health approved an application from MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan Health to jointly build and operate a $41 million, 120-bed not-forprofit psychiatric hospital in Tacoma.

“We are pleased that the Department of Health has approved our Certificate of Need to build a new behavioral health hospital in Tacoma,” said CEO of CHI Franciscan Ketul

Lincoln High School got a special visit from Derek Kilmer on Jan. 14 when he stopped by to discuss congress with Teacher of the Year nominee Nathan Bowling’s AP Government class.

Kilmer is currently sponsoring a new bill to restore the purchasing power of the Pell Grant program, grants designed to help provide financial aid to college students. Much of his talk revolved around the bill, called the Pathways to an Affordable Education Act.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

Center and Adams St. Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it.

During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts.

While that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma.

With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes.

Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com.

Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

BENAROYA COLLECTION GIFTED TO TAM Tacoma Art Museum has announced that Becky Benaroya has bequeathed the collection that she and her late husband Jack Benaroya carefully assembled during their 70 years of marriage. The collection of 225 works includes Northwestern and international studio art glass along with important paintings and sculptures by renowned regional artists. The gift, announced on Mrs. Benaroya’s 93rd birthday, includes a contribution for the construction of a new 7,390-square-foot gallery addition in which to present the collection, an endowment fund for its care, and funds for a dedicated curator. The contribution to support the gift totals nearly $14 million. TAM’s expanding collection further establishes the Pacific Northwest as the nation’s art glass epicenter.

The new wing will be designed by award-winning architect Tom Kundig of Seattle-based Olson Kundig and is projected to open in fall 2018. It will house 5,700 square feet of gallery space, in addition to 1,690 square feet for public facilities and support functions. Tom Kundig successfully completed TAM’s Haub Family Galleries in November 2014. “We’re deeply honored and grateful for this incredible gift to Tacoma,� said TAM Executive Director Stephanie Stebich. “We are very pleased to celebrate Becky’s generosity and this exemplary collection with a preview exhibition in October 2016, to give everyone a taste of what is to come when the new galleries open. For Becky to make this extraordinary gift to the public on her birthday is inspiring, and we are forever grateful.�

The Benaroya’s gift includes 150 exceptional works in glass, bringing TAM’s glass holdings to nearly 1,000 pieces and placing it among the most important studio art glass collections in the nation. It complements TAM’s permanent retrospective of Dale Chihuly’s works, Anne Gould Hauberg collection, and Paul Marioni studio glass collection. The works in the Benaroya collection represent “the best of the best of these artists,� according to TAM’s Chief Curator Rock Hushka, including eminent Northwest glass artists Sonja Blomdahl, Dale Chihuly, Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace, Dante Marioni, Paul Marioni, Richard Marquis, Benjamin Moore, William Morris, Charles Parriott, Maxi Powers, Ginny Ruffner, Cappy Thompson, Toots Zynsky, and many more.

The Benaroyas also collected national and international glass artists, often with an association to the influential Pilchuck Glass School, including CÊsar Baldaccini, Howard Ben TrÊ, Kyohei Fujita, Ulrica Hydman-Vallien, Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtovå, Marvin Lipofsky, Raymond Martinez, Jay Musler, Seth Randal, Clifford Rainey, Julio Santos, Livio Seguso, Therman Statom, Lino Tagliapietra, and Bertil Vallien, among others. Mrs. Benaroya’s personal passions include the international art deco glass by Daum and Lalique and fiber art

by Olga de Omaral and Claire Zeisler.

Additionally, the Benaroya’s gift includes significant paintings by key Northwest artists such as Leo Adams, Guy Anderson, Deborah Butterfield, Kenneth Callahan, Joseph Goldberg, Morris Graves, Paul Horiuchi, Jeffry Mitchell, Mark Tobey, and George Tsutakawa.

TEEN CHARGED IN MURDER OF EX-GIRLFRIEND’S MOTHER

Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Austin Richard Moores Nelson, 19, on Jan. 19 with murder in the first degree, burglary in the first degree and animal cruelty in the first degree for shooting his ex-girlfriend's mother, Teresa Ryan, to death and killing the family dog.

Moores Nelson pleaded not guilty and is being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

"Teresa was well-known and wellliked in the courthouse," said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. "This hit home for many of us."

In September 2015, Ryan's daughter began dating Moores Nelson. Ryan learned of the relationship and told

t 2016 From page A1

Economics professors Douglas Goodman and Bruce Mann. Goodman and Mann presented their forecasts for 25 years before handing over the process and presentation in 2013.

Overall, the PCEI forecasts that the numbers show Pierce County grew by 1.9 percent in 2015 and will add 1.8 percent by the end of 2016.

Total real personal income increased in 2015 about 2 percent to $34 billion, and real personal income per capita grew to about 2 percent to $40,387. For 2016, total income growth is expected to be about 2.6 percent over the year, while personal income per capita is estimated to increase by 1.2 percent.

That level of income growth trails most other parts of the state and much of the rest of America, largely because higher-income manufacturing and professional jobs in the county disappeared during the Great Recession and have been replaced by lowerwage jobs in service and hospitality industries, according to the analysis.

Even the growth in those lower-wage jobs has been trailing the county’s historical average and lag behind the rest of the state.

Year-over-year job growth shows the economy added 10,000 jobs – from 285,000 in mid 2014 to 295,000 by mid 2015 – for a job-creation rate of 3.5 percent.

“Over 2016, average employment is expected to grow by about 3.4 percent for a total of 309,000 jobs by the end of 2016,” according to the report.

Declines in manufacturing and construction jobs were softened by the relatively solid employment found in government jobs, but those public jobs

Moores Nelson to stay away from her daughter. Moores Nelson continued his relationship with Ryan's daughter.

On Jan. 8, 2016, Ryan's daughter broke up with Moores Nelson, telling him she did not want to continue lying to her mother. The following week, Moores Nelson sent text messages to Ryan's daughter, threatening to damage her car.

Later that day, her car was vandalized in the school parking lot.

The following week, Ryan called police and reported that her daughter received text messages from Moores Nelson, who was threatening to post photos and videos online of him and Ryan's

won’t add much to the local employment picture in the coming years. Much of the reason for that is that many Pierce County residents continue to commute to higher-paying jobs in King County rather than work locally.

“Labor force remains a source for concern,” according to the PCEI. “The area has about 388,000 workers in 2015 from a low of 383,000 in 2014.

While the tide has turned, this still marks a substantial drop in light of population growth of over 4 percent. … Forecasting its future remains statistically difficult, but the implied average size of the labor force in 2016 will be 391,000.”

Pierce County is simply adding residents faster than it is adding jobs.

A bright spot on that front is that retail spending will likely grow in 2016 after relatively strong increases since 2013. Retail sales in 2016 are likely to grow to 5.1 percent, higher than the rate of inflation.

Another relative bright spot is that housing will largely remain affordable compared to the rest of Puget Sound.

But some of that affordablility comes because many homes in Pierce County are still worth less than what homeowners purchased them for before the “housing bubble” that fed the Great Recession.

Local homes are now 14.2 percent below their highest appraised value, compared to the statewide average of 10.6 percent negative equity.

Commercial properties are a different matter entirely.

“Pierce County’s strength continues to be the warehouse and distribution sector. New construction increased inventory by 2.1 million square feet, with vacancy at 7.1 percent expected to fall as tenants recently signing leases take occupancy,” according to the report.

And with that, the year has begun.

daughter having sex. Later that day, the photos and videos appeared on Facebook and Instagram.

On the morning of Jan. 18, Moores Nelson approached Ryan in her driveway and shot her three times in the chest and back. Then, he broke into Ryan's home and shot the family dog. Ryan's daughter was not home at the time of the murder.

Moores Nelson fled the scene and was arrested a short time later at his grandfather's home.

Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

MILTON FATHER CHARGED FOR LEAVING 15-MONTHOLD IN FREEZING CAR OVERNIGHT Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Michael Anthony Dufour, 29, on Jan. 13 with criminal mistreatment in the second degree and abandonment of a dependent person in the second degree, for leaving his infant daughter overnight in a freezing car at his Milton home. Dufour was also charged with possession of methamphetamine. He pleaded not guilty and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

“Parents are supposed to protect their children,” said Lindquist, “but the defendant chose drugs over his child's safety and endangered her life.”

On Jan. 9, 2016 at 8:30 a.m., Milton Police received a report of a child left alone inside a car. When an officer arrived at the home, he saw the car backed into the driveway with the windows down. The temperature was 26 degrees. Dufour, who was not wearing pants or underwear, was standing in the home’s doorway holding the baby girl. She was naked, extremely red and lethargic.

The baby was taken to the hospital for treatment. She was suffering from hypothermia and had frostbite on her hands and feet.

When the officer looked inside the home, he saw that it was cluttered with toys and garbage. Dufour told the officer that he is a clean person, so someone must have broken into the home and ransacked it.

While interviewing Dufour, police found 3.2 grams of methamphetamine in his pocket.

Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Fast food always sounds delicious when you’ve been drinking, but the smart move is to just stay home and munch on a bag of chips, especially if you’re too far gone to even stay conscious.

Workers at a Division Avenue food joint got quite a surprise on Jan. 9, when a man literally was passed out inside his car outside their drive-through window. Concerned for his health, they called 911, and the man was awake when the officer arrived. As soon as the officer contacted the man, he got a nice big whiff of alcohol. The officer asked why the man was passed out, and the man said he didn’t know, before changing his story to he wasn’t passed out at all. When the officer questions why the workers would call 911 if he wasn’t unconscious, the man admitted he didn’t have a response to that.

The officer arrested the man for driving under the influence after he refused to take sobriety tests and then transported him to Pierce County Jail. There he also refused to take a breathalyzer test.

Our View

WORK BEGINS TO MAKE BUSINESS CASE TO keePing CliCk Tacoma City Council voted during its last meeting of 2015 to explore a plan that could have the city’s Click Network go “all in” to offer cable television, Internet access and phone services as a way to make the municipally owned system more viable and competitive.

Part of that exploration includes the appointment of a committee to draft a business plan to see if the $200 million fiber optic system, installed by the city 17 years ago to provide smart meter technology to Tacoma Public Utilities, could generate a profit in the highly competitive and dynamic telecommunications industry by going head to head with private companies.

Work toward drafting that business plan is now underway with the selection of the Committee to Save Click Network. The committee members are City Council Member Marty Campbell, Mayor Marilyn Strickland, Tacoma Public Utility Commission board members Karen Larkin and Mark Patterson, and three Tacoma citizens: Andrea Cobb, a program manager at Tacoma Housing Authority and a member of the Tacoma School Board; Janine Terrano, founder and CEO of the Tacoma-based technology firm Topia Technology; and accountant and broadband expert David Hill.

The committee now has until April to plot a course to expand Click and present that business plan to the City Council for another round of hearings to lead to a final decision that could include either expanding the system, leasing it out to a private company to operate or some third option. Early estimates by TPU suggest going all in by bundling phone, cable and gigabyte Internet services under a municipal system that would cost $31.6 million over five years and only start turning a profit after eight years.

Two companies have already expressed interest in leasing the network. Wave Broadband was first with its offer, which came as TPU researched ways to make Click profitable, stating that the system was losing money to the tune of $7 million a year. That largely comes from TPU opting out of installing smart meters, which was the reason for the system from the start, and shifting most of the operational and debt costs onto Click. Rainier Connect then matched Wave’s lease offer of $2 million plus infrastructure upgrades for 40 years.

Last year was filled with public hearings about the future of Click, with a lot more ledger shuffling and debates about accounting rather than hard numbers everyone could agree on. These next few months will provide for some interesting discussions about efforts to keep Click, which many see as a matter of civic pride that is underused.

Now at least, Tacomans can have an in-depth look at possibilities of an expanded and robust Click Network. Maybe the committee will determine that going all in doesn’t make sense.

But at least the questions were asked outside of a seemingly pre-determined course by TPU to lease the system. It was interesting, for example, that the TPU board shifted from supporting a lease with Wave after reviewing the numbers, to a split decision of exploring leases and going all in after just a few months of public hearings on the issue on the grounds that not all options were explored equally.

Tacoma now has some time to do just that, thanks to active Click supporters showing that the network shouldn’t be treated like just another line item on an accounting sheet.

ThAnk you, DiCk SPADy

By Don C. Brunell Seattle lost an icon earlier this month when Dick Spady, the 92-year old founder of Dick’s Drive-In restaurants, died. He was an entrepreneur who took a risk, worked hard, treated his workers and customers well, sold an excellent product at an affordable price, and did his part to make his community and country a better place to live and raise a family.

Spady was a pacesetter in the fast food industry, which developed a full-head of steam in the 1950s. He was quick to recognize a business opportunity and believed that people wanted a fast, affordable and high quality meal.

Spady, who was raised in Portland and sold real estate, and two partners opened the first Dick’s Drive-In in 1954 near the University of Washington. He later bought them out and it became a family-owned business Sales of Dick’s 19-cent hamburgers, 11-cent fries and 15-cent hand-dipped milkshakes soared. It became the place to go even if it was 100 degrees in the shade or freezing cold in the rain.

Over 20 years, Dick’s added four other restaurants in the northern parts of Seattle. Only a store in Bellevue bit the dust. Then in 2011, after 15,000 people voted online to pick the new location, the Spady family opened its first store in 37 years.

The new store is in Edmonds, and Spady cut the ribbon as the

bagpipers and drummer played. It was a happening, and that’s the way it has been over the last 62 years.

Other drive-in restaurants have changed dramatically. They have rebranded and added drive-thru windows, switched to frozen fries and set up large distribution chains.

Meanwhile, Dick’s maintains the same service model with fresh beef, buns and hand-cut potatoes for French fries.

“We don’t do chicken or fish,” Jim Spady, one of Dick’s sons who became company president, told me. “We stick to what we do best – hamburgers!”

McDonalds started in 1955 when Ray Kroc, a multi-milkshake mixer and paper cup salesman in California, convinced the McDonalds brothers to expand. People in Seattle may even remember the McDonald’s Drive-In just outside Sicks (baseball) Stadium in Seattle’s Rainier Valley. It offered the same menu from walk-up counters like Dick’s.

Now, fast food restaurants are open 24 hours, serve breakfast all day, have kid’s meals with toys, big advertising budgets, and offer extensive menus.

Dick’s keeps its traditional menu and hours – 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Its burgers, fries and shakes are its advertising.

In 2012, Dick’s was declared America’s “Most Life-Changing Burger Joint” in an online Esquire poll beating out In-N-Out and Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Dick's treats its employees as family. Its workers are paid higher than minimum wage, offered up to $25,000 in college tuition assistance, provided health and dental benefits and child care assistance. They are even are paid for community service.

It is no wonder Dick’s Drive-In has the lowest employee turnover rate in the industry.

In total, Dick’s has provided over $1 million each in education scholarships and support local charities and disaster relief. The Spady family involves its customers who have dropped over $800,000 in change in “Change for Charities” boxes on store counters.

Spady served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He was patriotic and believed deeply in America. In 2008, he founded and funded the Community Forums Network as a means to facilitate citizen involvement in public policy decisions.

Just as Dick’s Drive-Ins are built to last, Spady wanted to make sure that America continued to prosper for generations to come.

Thanks, Dick. We’re glad you came our way.

iT’S noT A bACklog, iT’S A lACk of ConCern for rAPe viCTimS

By Laura Finley

According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN), an American is sexually assaulted every 107 seconds. “Rape kit” is the term used to describe the physical evidence obtained from a victim who reports being sexually assaulted. Victims’ bodies are, in essence, the crime scene. They endure what some might describe as a second sexual violation, being scraped, poked and prodded, only out of hope that their perpetrator can eventually be held accountable.

And perhaps not rape again, as so many do.

In January 2015, Florida officials announced that some 13,435 rape kits remain in police storage facilities around the state. The largest number of non-processed rape kits, more than 3,700, were in Miami-Dade County.

Of course this is an underestimate, since some 11 percent of police agencies in the state would not respond to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s inquiry about the issue.

Florida is not alone. The Joyful Heart Foundation, founded by actor Maritza Hargitay, estimates that there are more than 400,000 untested rape kits around the country. Many have referred to it as a “rape kit backlog.”

While surely there are some issues with funding and staffing to analyze this type of criminal evidence, when

officials admit, like they have pretty much done everywhere, that they don’t test all the kits, it is clear that they care little about rape cases.

Indeed, officials in many precincts have said that if it’s not a strangerrape case or if it’s a case in which the victim doesn’t want to participate, they won’t exert any effort to analyze the rape kits. Those arguments are garbage. Even in acquaintance cases, the evidence can be important, as it might show a pattern of behavior that can help convict an offender, and, in particular, in cases of younger victims who are raped by family or friends, it is crucial evidence that a jury often wants in order to convict.

Maybe a victim doesn’t want to endure a trial. She should never be forced to do so. But what if knowing that evidence existed would convince her to do so? Or, what if the prosecution had that strong physical evidence and thus didn’t even need her to participate in the trial?

The reality is that police want to close cases and prosecutors want to win them. What that means for rape victims is clear: If your case isn’t perceived as “winnable,” sorry about your luck. Few other crimes warrant such neglect.

Testing these older rape kits has proven to

be a useful expenditure of time and resources. In 2003, New York City analyzed 17,000 rape kits, resulting in dramatic increase in its arrest rate for rape, from 40 percent to 70 percent.

In 2009, Detroit police found 11,000 untested rape kits in storage. After analysis of just 1,600 of them, 100 serial rapists were identified and 10 were convicted. The city also found 487 serial rapists who committed crimes in 39 states. Other cities have found similar results.

If we truly care about crime victims, we absolutely must devote whatever resources are needed to collect and analyze the physical evidence that will not only hold accountable but may also deter offenders. Otherwise, we are merely paying lip-service to accountability while declaring our lack of concern for stopping rape.

ISIS, TERRORISM AND REFUGEES: WHAT IS TO BE DONE? On Feb. 4, 7 p.m. at the University Place Library (3609 Market Pl. W., Jewish Voice for Peace, Tacoma chapter, Peace Justice & Healing and United for Peace of Pierce County will host an evening with Phyllis Bennis, acclaimed policy analyst and author of “Understanding ISIS and the New Global War on Terror: A Primer," and "Before & After: US Foreign Policy and the War on Terror.” Admission is free.

“With her customary lucidity and talent for judicious interpretation, Phyllis Bennis provides an authoritative introduction to all that is now known about ISIS. It is more than a ‘primer,’ offering an indispensable account of the complex turmoil afflicting the Middle East,” said Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law and Practice at Princeton University, and former UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Bennis has been featured on CNN, “PBS News Hour,” MSNBC, “Democracy Now” on Pacifica Radio, BBC and NPR.

COUNTY COUNCIL CHOOSES NEW LEADERSHIP FOR 2016 Pierce County Councilmember Doug Richardson has been elected as council chair for 2016. The seven-member body voted for leadership positions at the council’s Jan. 12 weekly meeting and voting for committee leadership occured at the Jan. 19 council meeting.

Councilmember Dan Roach will serve as vice-chair and Joyce MacDonald will continue in her position as executive pro tem. The chair presides at all regular council meetings, while the vice-chair presides in the absence of the chair. The executive pro tem is a councilmember selected to perform some of the County Executive's duties in the event of the executive's absence or temporary disability.

Prior to his election to the Pierce County Council in 2012, Richardson spent 17 years on the Lakewood City Council, including seven as mayor, and retired from the Army Reserve as a brigadier general after 32 years of active and reserve service.

Roach was elected to the Pierce County Council in 2010 and reelected in 2014. He served as Council chair for 2015.

Prior to the County Council, Roach was elected to five terms in the Washington State House of Representatives.

McDonald, who is in her seventh year on the Council, has previously served as chair of the Council as well as five terms in the state House.

More information about the County Council is available online at www.piercecountywa.org/council or by calling (253) 798-7777. The full council meets Tuesdays at 3 p.m. in the Council Chambers on the 10th floor of the County-City Building, 930 Tacoma Ave. S., Room 1045, in Tacoma.

Council meetings are also televised live and replayed each week on Pierce County TV (channel 22 in most areas, and 522 on the Click! Network’s HD tier) and streamed live and archived at www.piercecountytv.org.

PINK LUNG BRIGADE SUES COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT Pink Lung Brigade (PLB) has filed suit against Tacoma Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD), seeking an injunction, for passing amendments to preexisting vapor product regulations. PLB claims the amendments are not based on any verifiable scientific data and do nothing to protect public health or reduce youth access, but in fact serve to harm public health by restricting adult access to products that are widely used as a safer alternative to smoking.

The new rules, which were adopted on Nov. 18, went into effect on Jan. 1. Enforcement waits for TPCHD to figure out how to manage the regulations they’ve passed and establish a licensure system. Small businesses in the community will suffer immensely under the new amendments, which will lead to shop owners closing their doors and job losses across the county. Pierce County will not only implement a new tax under the guise of licensure, they will also now require retail vape shops to install potentially unnecessary HVAC filtration systems in their establishments. Some buildings are too old to meet the requirements, while others, after permitting and construction, could see hefty price tags of up to $80,000.

The current amendment restricts minors from entering retail vape shops and is agreeable to vape shop owners; however, according to Pierce County’s new rules, once an adult enters an establishment, TPCHD seeks to dictate how that customer will be serviced. It mandates that retail vape shops remove all comfortable seating and force customers to stand while participating in a consultative process that can take up to an hour or more to facilitate. Sampling and testing of vapor products has now been limited to three people at a time, making an impossible scenario for the in and out customer.

Pierce County has also banned the use of nicotine in the sampling of e-liquid, and they pledge to do testing stings at the cost of the retailer. Nicotine testing from a certified lab can cost upwards of 3k for just six flavors, while some vape shops can carry varieties of up to 300 flavors. Pierce County has set no limits for the amount of samples it can request for testing. This new rule can be abused to force a retail shop into bankruptcy.

“Regardless of any good intentions here, the problem is the Health Board has overstepped its authority and it is going to hurt small businesses and interfere with the public moving away from smoking. So my clients are looking to the courts to set things right and let the state legislature tackle this problem,” says PLB’s Attorney Eric Krening of Osinski Law Offices.

Pink Lung Brigade was founded in 2014. Supporters include its members of industry professionals, local com-

YOUNG SELECTED FOR NEW TRANSPORTATION LEADERSHIP ACADEMY Transportation For America has selected Pierce County Councilmember Derek Young to participate in the 2016 Transportation Leadership Academy.

The yearlong training academy focuses on teaching local leaders about performance measurements to better assess the impacts and benefits of transportation spending. The system is designed to help officials deploy assets to maximize tax dollars and generate the greatest return for citizens.

“I'm pleased to have another opportunity to serve Pierce County and our region. With the recent passage of transportation bills at both the state and federal level, it's critical that we enhance accountability to the public,” said Young, who represents the 7th Council District. “Developing and implementing performance standards will ensure we invest wisely and make those transportation dollars go further.”

Young is a Pierce County member of the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). His experience with the council made him a prime candidate for the training. He currently represents Pierce County on the Growth Management Policy Board and participates in the decision-making for county planning and transportation. Previously, he served on the Executive Board and Operations Committee.

Young will join other participants from six different regions across the country at in-person workshops and online training sessions. The program, created by Transportation for America in partnership with the Federal Highway Admin-

istration (FHWA), will educate the seven teams made up of local business, civic, elected leaders, and transportation professionals at the early stages of performance measure development. It will prepare participants to act on opportunities within their communities and plug them into a dynamic national network of like-minded leaders throughout the country.

RON KLEIN APPOINTED ACTING DEPUTY COUNTY EXECUTIVE County Executive Pat McCarthy spent a good deal of time looking for the next Deputy Pierce County Executive, but ended up finding him just across the hall. Ron Klein, the acting Director of Communications, will replace Kevin Phelps, who recently left the Deputy Executive position to become the City Manager of Glendale, Ariz.

“I wanted a seasoned professional who knows Pierce County and can address the complex issues we’re facing,” said McCarthy. “That’s especially important because this is a short term appointment. We don’t have time to spend months bringing someone up to speed. Ron is already here and has the qualifications to step right into the Deputy Executive position.”

Klein officially becomes Deputy Executive on Jan. 18. He will also serve as the Director of Communications until the new director is brought on-board over the coming weeks.

Klein will serve as deputy executive until Executive McCarthy’s term ends in December. Klein previously served as the executive director of communications for Sound Transit from 2009-2014 and as the director of communications for Pierce County from 2001-2009. He is a Pierce County native and lives in Tacoma.

FOSS WATERWAY TO HOST MARITIME FEST AS SIGNATURE EVENT After being an integral part of the annual event and festival footprint for years, the Foss Waterway Seaport will officially host the 24th annual Tacoma Maritime Fest as its signature event. The festival is set to take place on July 16 and 17 at the Seaport’s 705 Dock St. location.

Maritime Fest has taken place for years on the doorstep of the Foss Waterway Seaport museum, and any discussion of Maritime Fest always involved the museum, despite the organization never having officially hosted the festival before.

The Seaport plays such an important role in the festival’s program with its free admittance throughout the weekend and a multitude of activities; and now its role is even greater.

However, the behind-the-scenes changes will most likely be invisible to festival-goers.

“As the Director of Tacoma Maritime Fest for the past three years, I have considered the Foss Waterway Seaport an important partner. I can think of no better organization to assume this free, family friendly, community event. I expect the festival to continue to thrive and draw families from around the region,” says Sue Schaeffer, Maritime Fest director from 2013 to 2015.

Tacoma Maritime Fest is a celebration of the marine trades, arts, culture and legacy of Tacoma’s Waterfront, engaging people from all walks of life from all over Washington and beyond. The festival seeks to showcase Tacoma’s waterfront as one of the city’s greatest economic, cultural and recreational assets that not only has a grand history behind it, but also a vast potential for the future.

As ever, Tacoma Maritime Fest remains free-of-charge and suitable for all ages. As Schaeffer also notes, we are “very grateful for the consistent support we received from all of our volunteers, staff, our many sponsors and especially our long-term partners; City of Tacoma, Port of Tacoma, Belina Interiors, Foss Waterway Development Authority, Puget Sound Energy, BNSF, Puyallup Tribe, Rock the Dock, US Oil and Trading, the Fuchs Foundation, TOTEM Ocean Trailer Express, Crowley, and Vigor Industrial,” who help to make this all possible each year.

CLIENTS AGREE: RAINIER MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS AND WELLNESS WILL GET YOU LASTING RESULTS

A

s anyone who has experienced the cycle of dieting knows, losing weight can be a serious struggle.

However, there is a solution: medical weight loss, which ensures maximal muscle preservation and preserves lean body mass, therefore preventing the drop in metabolic rate that leads to rapid weight regain that can be experienced following a large weight loss.

MARYN S.

The following is a thank-you letter sent to Dr. Sutherland from her client, Anne Artman.

I entered Rainier Medical Weight Loss and Wellness Center to schedule an appointment for a facial and overheard the excitement of women discussing their weight loss success. I stayed for an orientation that changed my health in ways I never expected. After Dr. Sutherland explained the steps and process of the program – weekly appointments, which included health monitoring, meals replacements, charting and support services – the journey began.

Within the first week, I lost six pounds, but this program isn’t simply about weight loss – it’s an overall change in health and habits. I’m a 55-year-old woman with congestive heart failure, insomnia, addiction to Pepsi and coffee. I have been taking over the counter sleep aids for nearly 10 years. As stated, within the first week I lost six pounds, stopped drinking coffee, Pepsi (wasn’t included on the program) and stopped taking sleep aids.

I continue my Saturday mornings at Starbucks but order hot water, tip the barista, relax in a corner and read. The reaction from my husband, friends, family and coworkers has been a great motivator and support system.

Additionally, Rainier Medical Center has a compassionate support team, with weekly support groups that include resources such as exercise demonstrations, weekly walking groups and guest speakers. I joined a local neighborhood women’s fitness center, which is a small, supportive collection of women who have enhanced my experience and are in-line with the programs recommendations. At first, the program wasn’t easy. I it hit a plateau, developed inflamed muscles and struggled through the holidays. The Rainier Medical team addressed each concern, which included Dr. Sutherland quickly treating my Bursitis (inflamed muscle). In four months the program has become a way of life. I’m within a few pounds of reaching my goal!

I was raised in a culture where large meals – fried and fatty foods – are part of our diet. As the year comes to an end, I’m feeling better, stronger and healthier than I have in years. For the first time in years, my New Year’s resolution isn’t to lose weight, but to maintain my weight and continue on the same journey. Thank you Dr. Sutherland and the team at Rainier Medical Wellness Center.

Sincerely, Anne Artman

These are just the basic schematic design steps of the project; it will likely be several years before the changes are fully implemented.

“We should be complete in March or April with that schematic design, We have one schematic design for each park, we’ve had two steering committee meetings and two public meetings; we have two ideas for each site and that’s what we're asking people to comment on, we’ll have another public meeting in February.” Evans said.

The Foss Waterway Development Authority is working with Metro Parks to continue to make the Thea-Foss Waterway a destination for the city of Destiny.

“I think the parks are important because we don’t have a dominance of green space in downtown and as we have increasing residential development, people need a place to play and relax and have a chance to recreate,” Thea-Foss Waterway Development Authority Executive Director Sue Dowie said.

Metro Parks will have one more meeting for public input on Feb. 17 at a location to be determined, visit www.metroparkstacoma. org to keep up with all updates.

t Kilmer

From page A1

Students also asked about typical days in congress, and what they can do to become politically active. Kilmer detailed his history of getting involved in politics, his door-todoor campaigning and his current goals.

“Congress is a bit of a fixer-upper,” Kilmer told the assembled class of about 30 students in Lincoln’s auditorium about why he wanted to become involved.

Kilmer spent some time talking about his Pathways to an Affordable Education Act to the students, many of whom want to go to college and would likely be using Pell Grants.

“We know that education is the door to opportunity,” Kilmer said. “That’s especially true in an era when more and more jobs, whether you work in a factory or an office park, require some form of

t Hospital J. Patel. “This hospital will serve a critical need for many people in our communities.

We look forward to treating patients in this new hospital and truly help meet the behavioral health needs for adults in Pierce and South King counties.”

The new psychiatric hospital will be built on the MultiCare Allenmore Hospital campus, located at 1901 S. Union Ave. in Tacoma. Construction is slated to begin in 2016 and is expected to be completed in 2018.

To operate the new hospital, CHI Franciscan and MultiCare created an independent, not-for-profit organization, the Alliance for South Sound. The entity and plan for this joint venture were formed in response to an increasing need to provide mental health services in Pierce County and surrounding areas.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring a new psychiatric hospital to Pierce County,” said Bill Robertson, president and CEO of MultiCare Health System. “There is a severe shortage of psychiatric

higher education. I want to make sure folks don’t leave school with piles of debt that limit them from starting a business or owning a home. One of America’s key tools for making college affordable is the Pell Grant program, but lately it’s gotten rusty.

That’s why I introduced a bill to give Pell Grants a shot in the arm so students who qualify can actually use them to cover the costs of getting a degree without taking out burdensome loans.”

Across the nation more than 8 million students receive Pell Grants. But, over time, the amount that it covers for attending school has declined. In 1980, the maximum amount a qualifying student could earn through Pell Grants would cover 77 percent of the cost of attending a four-year public university. In 2015, that declined to around 30 percent.

The Pell Grant program was created in 1972 to provide need-based grants to help more students go to college. The awards do

Locally founded and the largest health systems in Pierce County, CHI Franciscan and MultiCare have a history of successful collaboration to provide local solutions for improved health care in the community, including a jointly operated trauma services program and joint ownership of the Carol

Milgard Breast Center in Tacoma, managed by TRA Medical Imaging.

Currently, Washington state ranks near the lowest in the nation in terms of inpatient psychiatric capacity. Pierce County ranks at the bottom of all urban counties in Washington, with 2.8 beds

not need to be repaid and can be utilized at nearly 5,400 post-secondary institutions across the United States.

“For me, the interest is on a lot of levels.

I think education is the door to opportunity, and for a lot of families, including mine, financial aid is the key to that door. My dad was a school teacher, and had it not been for scholarships and student loans, I couldn’t have gone to college, and frankly, that’s a reality for many families; and on top of that, there’s a ton of benefit, not just to the individual, but to us as a society when we educate more people to higher levels.

It improves our economic competitiveness, and it improves the ability of that student to pursue his or her dreams, whether that be pursuing a job on a factory floor or in an office. The reality is, not every job is going to require a post-secondary education, but more and more jobs, particularly those that are the highest growth jobs, require some college,” Kilmer said.

T

he Martin Luther King Showcase at the ShoWare Center in Kent on Monday, Jan. 18 had the look of a state basketball tournament. With eight games pitting exceptional, if not strong, teams against each other, the Showcase seemed like a post-season appetizer for basketball fans; a taste of things to come.

Unfortunately for the three teams participating from Tacoma, the trip to Kent would prove to be rough on the palate.

CURTIS VIKINGS 55, BELLARMINE LIONS 41

The Bellarmine Prep Lions came into their game against the Curtis Vikings as the leaders of the 4A Narrows League, holding a 6-0 league record and 8-5 overall. On the flip side, the Vikings entered the game as the top team in the 4A South Puget Sound League South with a 9-0 league mark to go along with an impressive 11-4 overall record.

The game would prove to be a tough one for both of the teams, as well as the refs and the fans, as turnovers, fouls and sloppy play marred what was expected to be an excellent matchup between two of the Tacoma area’s most talented girls’ teams.

Curtis dominated the first three quarters of play, holding a 10-point advantage at halftime and expanding it to a 20-point lead by the end of the third quarter. Bellarmine was able to put together a stronger fourth quarter, but was unable to put much of a dent in the Curtis lead and fell 55-41. Curtis was led

by Cedrice Howard’s 14 points and 17 rebounds, while Jalaiya Frederick also added 14 points. Bellarmine was led by 13 points from Jayanna Ervin.

It was a good week for Tacoma Stars fans as the Major Arena Soccer League professional team pulled off an impressive 3-2 road win over their old rival, the Dallas Sidekicks. Two days later, the Western Indoor Soccer League’s Tacoma Stars Reserves moved back into the playoff picture with a 7-5 outcome over the visiting Vancouver Victory. As it stands now, if the season were to end today, both teams would qualify for their league playoffs.

The Stars rolled into Dallas on Thursday, Jan. 14 with pressure mounting on both teams within the Pacific Division standings. After first place Soles de Sonora, the remaining four teams were separated by a single game. Since it will be the top three teams from each MASL division advancing to the playoffs, each and every game has become more important as the 20-game regular season winds closer to the end.

Tacoma entered the game tied with the San Diego Sockers for second place in the Pacific Division. Thanks to a 6-5 win by Sonora over the Sockers on Sunday, Jan. 17, the Stars are currently in sole possession of second place at 8-5, with seven games remaining on the schedule.

It was a celebration night for Dallas against the Stars, as the team rolled out former players and staff, as well as the trophy, from the Sidekicks 1986-87 Major Indoor Soccer League championship team. Of course, that was the team that defeated the Stars for the title 4-3 in overtime of the seventh game of the finals in front of 21,728 shocked and dismayed fans at the Tacoma Dome.

The moment was ripe for a small degree of payback in front of a Dallas crowd of just 1,307.

Dallas came into the game in the midst of an impressive run, winning seven of their previous eight matches. The team that began the season as a cellar dweller was on the verge of jumping into second place in the Pacific with a couple more wins, but it was not to be for the Sidekicks.

Tacoma put together possibly their finest performance of the season. The Stars were able to maintain a constant offensive attack throughout the match, and on defense they put together a solid and aggressive 60 minutes that limited Dallas early, while the offense kept peppering the Sidekicks’ goal with shots.

SPORTSWATCH THE TIME HAS ARRIVED FOR WOMEN’S SOCCER IN TACOMA Craig Vincent knows a lot about the women’s soccer scene in Tacoma. For several years he has planned, worked and hoped for a local women’s team to take root for the players in South Sound. Finally, it is going to happen in 2016 with the arrival of the Northwest Premier League and the South Sound FC Women.

Vincent has worked on a project titled “Tacoma City Soccer” since 2013. More recently he was involved with FCT 253, which fields teams in the WPSL and NPSL, but has since moved back to Seattle as OSA FC. Finally, all of the pieces are coming together in 2016 as Vincent partners with John Crouch and the already-established South Sound FC club to field a team in the new Northwest Premier League.

“The purpose of the South Sound Women’s program is to provide more opportunity for local players to develop and show their potential among a group of similar-minded peers,” Vincent says. “We want to offer players another avenue for reaching the next level. Currently, the path to the higher levels of soccer nearly require a player to attend some form of college, and for many, that path is too restrictive. Between academic requirements, and limiting the number of years that players can play at the school, it creates an environment many players aren’t able to properly flourish in. Additionally, schools don’t provide an atmosphere where players can play with more veteran players, and South Sound will be able to provide this important aspect for growth.”

Vincent’s vision for women’s soccer in Tacoma and South Sound FC’s role goes beyond the players he’ll put on the pitch. It’s also going to be about community.

“Another goal for the club is to provide more support for our youth. We want to offer local youth clubs, and players, chances to work with us through player development camps, coaches training, advice and support for players looking at attending college, and various other activities. We hope that helping to blur the line between youth and competitive amateur will help give players that may normally slow down and quit towards the end of high school the drive and vision to stay inspired and be educated about how to keep playing. We ambitiously hope that this eventually leads to a high school-age academy team that connects directly to the women’s program.”

The South Sound FC men of the Evergreen Premier League have the motto “Brotherhood, Loyalty, Community.” Vincent likes that slogan and hopes to emulate it on the women’s side. “An important objective for the club is to provide our players a family,” he says. “We hope players join our program and make as many friends as they do teammates. We want players to feel like they have support in all manners of life, far beyond the scope of soccer. The South Sound Men’s program has been extremely inspiring regarding this, and we strive to match that atmosphere with the women’s program – and, with success, between the men’s and women’s programs, as well.”

There is much yet to be done, but at least now Vincent knows he has a club, a league, boundless opportunities that will begin to be real in the months ahead. There is a lot to be excited about.

“Outside of what we’re looking forward to within our own program, we’re looking forward to seeing other programs working towards similar goals as ours,” he says.

“The opportunity for growing women’s soccer that the NWPL provides is fantastic because it better allows communities to fill the largest gap in the women’s pyramid, the gap between youth clubs and tier 2 women’s soccer, like the WPSL and previous W-League. Getting more players into this level of soccer will only grow the levels above it, and on from there. We’re also looking forward to the administrative connection the league will provide.

The more like-minded people are able to come together to create something, the better the individual pieces will become, as well. We’re looking forward to meeting the other coaches and staff, and the networking and idea sharing that comes from all these new connections. We have a very strong soccer community in the Northwest, and this additional strengthening will hopefully provide more incentive for players/coaches to come to the region to grow, and current players/coaches to stay.” - Courtesy of GoalWa.net.

PLU CONTINUES SERVICE TRADITION WITH LISTER ATTITUDE OUTREACH PROGRAM Pacific Lutheran's mission statement emphasizes educating students to serve and lead within their communities, and during the fall semester the 2015 PLU football program continued a 37-year tradition of doing just that with the Lister Big 5 Attitude Outreach Program.

"We are so grateful for another amazing year with the PLU football team," Lister Elementary School principal Kathryn Frazier said. "Lister continues to build on our mission of preparing each student to be college and career-ready, and when you mention college, PLU is the first one on their minds."

The PLU football program began the Lister Outreach Program in the fall of 1979 with the goals of sharing five key principles to a winning attitude for success, being positive role models in the children's lives and supporting Lister's academic goals while encouraging the kids to dream about going to college one day.

"It's a great chance for us to have a powerful and positive impact on these young lives," 2015 PLU football captain and Lister Group Leader Chase Houser said.

The ongoing outreach covered three months, with seven total sessions beginning with September's "Kick Off Assembly" and ending with November's "Final Week Celebration." The five main sessions each focus on a different topic: choice, comparison, confidence, challenge and caring. A total of 84 PLU football players volunteered during the 2015 season, with each serving a total of 14 hours for a grand total of more than 1,100 hours volunteered.

"My Lister experience has been incredibly rewarding,

and it's a very special feeling knowing that you are having a real impact on kids' lives," 2016 PLU football captain and Lister Group Leader Derek Chase said.

The long history of the outreach has made PLU football players a welcome and expected sight at Lister. Players served in 16 different classes in 2015, and the program has impacted more than 26,000 elementary and middle school students since 1979.

"Seeing the Lutes in our building is the highlight of the year for our students and staff," Lister counselor Lauren Olson said. "These players are always respectful, punctual and responsible, and they make an irreplaceable impact on our Lister community."

While the Lister outreach gives the Lutes a chance to live out the PLU mission, it also continues their education and prepares them for their next service opportunities. It often teaches the student-athletes as they work with the children.

"The effect these kids had on me helped me grow into a more educated and compassionate person," 2015 PLU football captain and Lister Group Leader Drew Oord said.

"I hope I taught them as much as they taught me."

TWO LOGGERS SET SCHOOL RECORDS IN THE 3,000M ON THE SAME DAY Tyler Shipley set a new Puget Sound record for the 3,000-meter race during the Washington Indoor Preview Meet on Saturday, but the new standard didn't last long.

Shipley, running with the second section, crossed the finish line with a time of 8:31.40 – which broke Dan McLean's 2004 record of 8:31.51. However, Geremia Lizier-Zmudzinski set a rapid pace with the third section and blew out the previous Logger records with a time of 8:20.11.

Lizier-Zmudzinski's time in the 3,000-meter run is the best in NCAA Division-III this season, and Shipley's mark is ranked sixth.

The Loggers will compete in the Washington State Invitational starting on Friday, Jan. 22.

TACOMA GOLDEN GLOVES RETURNS FOR ANOTHER WEEKEND OF EXCELLENCE The Tacoma Golden Gloves boxing tournament isn’t just the second-longest running event of its kind in the United States, it’s also long been known as one of the finest tournaments out there. Tacoma will host many of the region’s top talent in the amateur boxing game on Friday, Jan. 22 and Saturday, Jan. 23. The number of entries this year is so large, event staff are expecting some of the bouts to bleed into Sunday to crown a champion in each weight class.

Back in the 1940’s, the Tacoma Athletic Commission began staging Golden Gloves championships in the Tacoma Armory. The fights moved to the University of Puget Sound Memorial Fieldhouse in the 1950’s and then into the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall in the early 1980’s.

Two years ago, the fights returned to UPS and the old look and feel of the Fieldhouse seems like a fitting location for the 68th Golden Gloves. Event coordinators are happy with the move and plan on continuing their partnership with UPS each winter.

While every Tacoma Golden Gloves tournament is special, every four years the pressure ratchets up a bit as the event coincides with an upcoming Summer Olympics and the prospect of making a run at a Team USA becomes a real possibility for the best of the best. The best athletes in the world will converge on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this coming summer for the 31st Olympiad, and the “Road to Rio” just might begin for some boxers in Tacoma next weekend.

Continuing on the subject of the Summer Olympics, one of the great things about the Tacoma Golden Gloves is that it consistently draws former champions back to the event and some of them began their own Olympic journey in Tacoma many years ago, and returned with a hunk of precious metal around their neck. Last year’s Golden Gloves attendees were lucky enough to have Leo Randolph serving as the ring announcer. Randolph began his climb to the top with two Tacoma Golden Gloves titles.

The last win catapulted the Tacoma kid into a run that culminated in a flyweight gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics. Randolph also went on to win the WBA Super Bantamweight world title in 1980 after a TKO over Ricardo Cardona in the 15th and final round of their spectacular bout.

Some of the other Tacoma greats that went on to become world famous boxers are 1972 gold medalist, and former Lincoln High School teacher, Sugar Ray Seales, as well as former world champions Rocky Lockridge and Johnny Bumphus.

“This Golden Gloves is a continuation of helping raise money for the Tacoma Boxing Club to help give these young boxers an opportunity to fulfill a dream,” said Tacoma Athletic Commission committeeman Tony Anderson. “Whenever we have this many boxers scheduled it has turned into an exciting weekend of boxing, with some really great bouts. This being an Olympics year just makes it even bigger.“ This year’s Tacoma Athletic Commission special honoree will be former T.A.C. president and longtime area athletic director, teacher and coach Scott Nordi, in appreciation for his many contributions to amateur boxing, as well nearly every sport offered at area high schools. The Tacoma Athletic Commission will be hosting the Jan. 22 preliminary bouts at the Al Davies Boys and Girls Club at 7 p.m. and the Jan. 23 finals at the University of Puget Sound’s Memorial Fieldhouse at 7 p.m. Ticket prices range from $16 for general admission to $28 for floor seats.

BIG KNOCKOUTS HIGHLIGHT BAttle At the BoAt 104

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

While the main event didn’t exactly thrill the Emerald Queen Casino crowd at Battle at the Boat 104 on Friday, Jan. 15, the night of fights was another enjoyable success. With a six-bout fight card lined up for fight fans, the folks over at Brian Halquist Productions nearly pulled off a perfect night of knockouts and surprises with the undercard and semi-main event bouts giving the crowd plenty to cheer about.

One of the highlights of the evening was the professional debut of five-time Tacoma Golden Gloves champion Andre Keys. While hometown fighters are always given a nice greeting from the crowds at the EQC, Keys received the biggest cheers for an opening-bout fighter that I have seen since I began covering the Battle at the Boat series.

Keys’ opponent would also be making his professional debut at 160 pounds. Lexus Pagampao came into the ring to some fantastic islander music and looked ready to eat glass. With a neck that appeared to be the size of most adult thighs, it looked as though Keys was going to have his work cut out for him. Both fighters came out swinging at the first bell. Keys delivered some strong shots and combinations and looked to have much faster hands and feet than his opponent and looked good through the first round.

The second round started with a flurry from Pagampao, but Keys quickly began to counter and looked dominant again and no

worse for the wear by the end of the round.

It wasn’t going to last long for Pagampao in the third round as the accumulation of shots from Keys were taking their toll, as he bled from the mouth. A three-shot combination

by Keys had Pagampao on his last legs and the referee stepped in and stopped the fight 2:29 into the round.

Keys had kicked off his professional career with a bang in front of his hometown crowd and the fighter was relieved at the end of the night. “I was nervous with it my first fight back at it in four years,” said a laughing Keys. “I just did what I know. I got comfortable and I seen what I needed to do. I seen where he was open and just did what I did. Hopefully I’ll be back for the next one here.”

The second bout of the night would pit Zach Cooper against William Fernandez in a 148-pound contest. It would be Cooper’s sixth fight and with a 2-1-2 record, it was clear from the start that he had more experience and polish than Fernandez, who was still looking for his first win in three fights. As fights go, it was a rather mediocre display as Cooper did most of the work, while Fernandez didn’t seem to have much wallop behind his punches. Cooper would take the four-round split decision.

I’m still shocked that one judge had the fight as a 38-38 draw, but that’s why they have three of them.

Up next would be a 119-pound bout between Nestor Hernandez, making his professional boxing debut, and the promising Isaiah Najera. Straight out of the gate, Najera’s hands are smoking fast. While Hernandez looked quick enough to hang

in there, it immediately felt like this was a fight that was going to end badly for the new guy. Surprisingly, Hernandez stayed with it until the fourth round when Najera began pouring on the shots. Hernandez was bleeding from the nose and taking big hits and it appeared that there wasn’t much left in his gas tank. The referee stepped in and called the fight at the 1:48 mark of the fourth round and it was a smart, legitimate stoppage. Hernandez was about to be seeing birdies while lying on canvas very soon.

One of the most anticipated fights of the night would pit Rob Diezel (9-6) against Marcelo Gallardo (5-3-2) in a 126-pound contest. Both fighters looked good at the start of the first round, but by the end of the first three minutes, Gallardo was dictating the action and Diezel was eating some healthy punches. The second round would be it for Diezel as Gallardo floored his opponent, who looked sketchy getting back to his feet. The referee let the fight proceed, but was clearly looking very closely at Diezel now. Gallardo sprang on his opponent and had Diezel in a world of trouble when the referee stopped the bout, just as Diezel’s corner had thrown in the towel.

Next up would be the return of Jeremy McCleary (8-1-0), the pride of Buckley, versus a dangerous Marco Cardenas (4-5-0) in a 131-pound contest. After suffering his first defeat a couple of fights ago, McCleary had returned with a vengeance and was looking to continue his climb back up the ladder. The only problem was that Cardenas was not going to be a part of it.

It looked as though it was going to be a well-balanced bout in the first round as both

fighters looked spry and more than willing to mix it up. By the end of the second round, however, Cardenas was landing some heavy punches to McCleary’s head, catching the local favorite with his hands down.

The fourth round would be a shocker for the local McCleary fans as Cardenas nailed McCleary with a combination that sent him straight down to the canvas. After gathering his wits about him, McCleary returned to his feet and the referee let the fight continue. It wouldn't last long though, as Cardenas delivered a bone-crushing left straight to McCleary’s face that put him on the deck again. This time, the referee stopped the fight and crowd seemed dazzled and electrified by the brutality of the fight’s end.

The main event would pit NABA super welterweight champion Dashon Johnson against Izaak Cardona in a bout that looked pretty awesome on paper. Cardona entered the fight with a 14-3-0 record, with all 14 wins via knockouts. The only problem for Cardona, and the EQC crowd, would be his inability to land any significant blows against a much quicker Johnson. This went on for 10 rounds and at times, was difficult to watch. It was apparent that neither fighter was going to end the fight. Without the opportunity for a knockout, Cardona wasn’t going to stand a chance. Johnson would win via split-decision with one judge giving the fight to Cardona 98-92, while the other two judges ruled it 98-92 Johnson.

Battle at the Boat 105 is scheduled for Saturday, March 26. Tickets are available at the EQC box office, as well as Ticketmaster.

bunch. The Rams would face West Linn, the three-time defending 6A Oregon state champion. While the Rams arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a short team, the Lions looked absolutely huge in comparison with three players at 6'7" or taller, as well as a squad that looked as though they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed too many meals or sessions in the weight room.

Both teams had difficulties getting their act together in the first quarter, as West Linn took a surprisingly low scoring 11-6 lead at the end of the first eight minutes. The official statistician registered 10 turnovers for Wilson for the game, but that tally was way off. Wilson was close to that number in the first quarter alone and seemed offbalance and out of sorts. West Linnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half-court trap was also causing major problems for the Rams.

Wilson put together a better second quarter, outscoring the Lions 11-10 and entered halftime trailing just 21-17.

Cold shooting dogged the Rams in the third quarter, while West Linn began to put together two strong runs that expanded their lead to 41-29 going into the final quarter.

The fourth quarter saw more scoring from both teams, but Wilson was unable to chip away at the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead after getting to within 10 points just seconds into the final eight minutes. The defending champions from Oregon certainly looked the part against the Rams, finishing the game out strong with a 64-45 victory. Wilson (11-3) was led by 23 points from David Jenkins, Jr. and 10 points from Anthony Stokes.

SeAttle PreP PAntherS 52, lincoln AbeS 51

The Lincoln Abes came into their game against the Seattle Prep Panthers as the leaders of the 3A Narrows league. They also entered the game with the memories of a tight loss to Seattle Prep in the final game of regional tournament in 2015, which knocked the Abes out of a trip to the 3A Hardwood Classic at the Tacoma Dome.

The contest would prove to be the best of the MLK Showcase.

Both teams came out running and gunning in the first quarter, and appeared to be an excellent match, despite the presence of Seattle Prepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-9 and 6-10 big men. A spin move down the lane by Trevion Brown with two seconds left put the score at 19-16 Panthers after the first quarter.

The second quarter was all Lincoln as the Abes outscored Seattle Prep 15-4, after holding the Panthers scoreless for the first four minutes. Lincoln would take a 31-23 lead into the locker rooms.

The third quarter was a defensive showdown as both teams were unable to make any headway against the other and could only muster 10 points apiece. Lincoln still looked good with their eight point lead going into the final stanza, but came out shooting cold in the fourth and Seattle Prep began to quickly close the gap. With 4:35 remaining in the game, Seattle Prep regained the lead at 44-43. From that point, the teams would trade leads six times before the final buzzer.

SWiSh. Despite the tough loss to West Linn,

Wilson's season and post-season hopes still look promising. Reigning 3A Narrows co-MVP David Jenkins, Jr. finished with 23 points.

Brown grabbed a defensive rebound and went basket-tobasket, crossing over at the free throw line and beat the Seattle Prep big men to the hoop, as Lincoln took a 51-50 lead. With time ticking away, Seattle Prepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kalu Stricklin found himself unguarded on the baseline and took a pass just feet from the basket and finished the Abes (10-3) with a lay in with just two seconds left on the clock and the Panthers (9-5) would take the 52-51 victory. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised to see these two teams face each other again in the post-season.

Starsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; midfielder Adam West continued his impressive season with a solo goal 8:40 into first quarter. The score would hold at 1-0 until defender Eliiot Fauske stole the ball near midfield and sent it down to striker Ty Hall. Hall would then connect with Chase Hanson on the opposite side of the goalie box, and the defenseman deposited the ball into the Dallas goal with just over 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter for a 2-0 Stars advantage.

Dallas would answer in the third and fourth quarters, tying the game at 2-2. The contest appeared to be heading toward a 10-minute sudden death overtime period until Fauske again sent the ball toward the Dallas goal. West found himself in prime position and slipped a pass from forward Dan Antoniuk into the goal with just 44 seconds remaining in the game, and the Stars would snatch a 3-2 victory over the Sidekicks (7-7) on their special night.

Up next for the MASL Stars is a home match against the resurgent Cedar Rapids Rampage on Friday, Jan. 22 at the ShoWare Center in Kent at 7:35 p.m. The Rampage began the season losing their first seven matches, but since signing last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MASL Rookie of the Year, Gordy Gurson, the Rampage (3-10) have won two in a row, with Gurson registering a hat trick in each contest. Fans should expect a highly competitive affair between the two clubs.

The winless Vancouver Victory rolled into the Tacoma Soccer Center two nights later, looking to salvage anything from their inaugural season in the WISL. While the Victory would put together a strong performance against the Tacoma Stars Reserves, the defending champions were too much to handle and held on for a 7-5 win that helped Tacoma leap-frog the Snohomish Skyhawks into the fourth, and final, spot in the playoff race.

Vancouver was first to get on the scoreboard in the first quarter, but would then suffer a barrage of Tacoma goals and ended up trailing the Reserves 5-1 by the end of the first 15 minutes. The lead stretched to 7-2 entering the fourth quarter, before Vancouver put together a run that netted them three goals. Mark Lee and Joseph Cairel led Tacoma with two goals apiece, with Eddie Na, Nate Ford and Vince McCluskey adding solo scores. Ford is currently third in the WISL in scoring with 10 goals on the season.

For his defensive efforts, Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michal Mravec was named the WISL Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, Jan. 18.

The playoff picture is set to become slightly clearer as Tacoma will host the Skyhawks on Saturday, Jan. 23 at the Tacoma Soccer Center. First kick is set for 7:30 p.m. Tacoma (3-3-1) has three regular season games remaining, while Snohomish (3-3-0) have four.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

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

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

of not only its own membership but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well.

The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,200 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities — approximately 70 percent

of whom are non-Native — employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits.

In 2013, the Tribe spent more than $461 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more.

From sponsoring countless local

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

SALISH INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY CARE CENTER Tribe opens state-of-the-art cancer center in Fife The Puyallup Tribe of Indians has opened a new, state-of-the-art cancer care clinic in Fife.

Named the Salish Integrative Oncology Care Center (SIOCC), it is housed in the first floor of the Trans Pacific building that the Tribe has purchased, located at the Interstate 5/Port of Tacoma exit.

“It is with full honor and dignity of our Tribal Council, tribal members, reservation and ancestors that I announce the opening of the Salish Integrative Oncology Care Center,” said Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud, noting that the center is the first Tribal-owned cancer care center in Indian Country and the United States. Opening the center fulfills the Puyallup Tribe’s vision of bringing integrative cancer care to Native Americans and non-Native Americans alike and to participate in cancer research.

The Tribe’s goal is to target national and regional Native Americans fighting cancer. Although SIOCC serves non-Native individuals wanting an integrative approach for cancer treatment, this treatment will not diminish the services provided to Native Americans. Quite the opposite, as treating non-Natives will help ensure a viable and robust program for the underserved Native population.

The 8,200-square-foot cancer center has 23 infusion chairs and features numerous amenities to make patients’ time there as comfortable as possible. For example, to help instill a serene atmosphere and peace of mind for patients, chemotherapy treatment rooms offer beautiful views of the majestic Mount Rainier. Outdoor treatment areas will be available in the spring and summer months.

SIOCC is staffed by board-certified medical oncologists and naturopathic oncologists, as well as natural cancer care and complementary cancer care practitioners who are experts in providing innovative treatment for most types of cancer.

“As the indigenous keepers of the Puyallup Tribe Indian Reservation, we have a strong ancestral bond with nature and creation. We believe that natural healing through traditional roots, berries, herbs and traditional healing can blend with modern oncology practices,” said Chairman Sterud.

It is with the foundation of “integrative medicine” that the Puyallup Tribe hired the former providers of Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center to build upon traditional oncology (chemotherapy, radiation and other pharmaceutical treatments) with whole person integrative medicine, including

Named the Salish Integrative Oncology Care Center (SIOCC), it is housed in the first floor of the Trans Pacific building the Tribe has purchased, located at the Interstate 5/Port of Tacoma exit.

naturopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine and Native American treatments.

“Most of our allopathic community doesn’t believe in how we practice medicine with complementary care,” said Kim M. Sunner, practice administrator. “However, the Puyallup Tribe, which has operated the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority since the early 1970’s, wants to build upon the established and proven success record that mixes traditional and natural healing.”

Medical Oncologist Dr. Paolo Paciucci spoke in gratitude for the Puyallup Tribe’s vision and their resolution to sponsor an integrated oncologic care center in a setting of restorative tranquility and to have chosen the providers of the Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center team to carry out this vision.

“I am very excited to continue to work with a group of people that practice cancer medicine in a setting that is quite different from that of com-

partmentalized, often fractured and ‘institutionalized’ model of larger oncology centers,” said Dr. Paciucci. “I have come to appreciate the kindness, humanistic and personal care that is delivered by this group of practitioners, nurses, coordinators and patient navigators whose foremost goal is that of delivering individualized and compassionate state-of-the-art medicine.”

As Dr. Paciucci pointed out, one does not “cure” ailments with infusions of drugs only. “The friendly atmosphere, the attentive dedication of a team of professionals and the concurrent treatments imparted by a group of exceptional naturopathic practitioners help shatter the negative mythology associated with ‘cancer’ and its often fearful implications,” he said.

Funky fresh

Polyrhythmics to bring world-infused grooves to Jazzbones

e're in the middle of a funk revival.

So declares Ben Bloom, a guitarist and founding member of Seattle's Polyrhythmics, the band that will fill Jazzbones with its hypnotic, rump-shaking grooves on Jan. 29.

“Funk has been kind of climbing again in our consciousness,” Bloom said. “People just like to dance and have a good time, especially in our world right now where there's so much conflict goin' on,” he added, citing Grace Love & The True Loves, Funky to Death and Lucky Brown among peers bringing old-school grooves back to the Emerald City.

Bloom also elaborated on his band's own unique style, driving blend of instrumental funk, jazz and Afrobeat as exemplified by November release, “Octagon.” Think Fela Kuti meets James Brown. Here's some of what he had to say.

TACOMA WEEKLY: You're actually in a few bands, a couple of which come down here from time to time – like Rippin' Chicken.

BLOOM: That's right, Delvon (Lamarr), our Hammond player in that band, lives in Tacoma and he does quite a bit of playing with the Kareem Kandi Band. I've definitely been through Tacoma with other bands, but with Polyrhythmics, this is our maiden voyage.

TW: And Unsinkable Heavies is one of yours, too?

BLOOM: Yeah, the Unsinkable Heavies (is) five of the members of Polyrhythmics, but stylistically it kind of takes a different approach to groove-based music. It's a little bit more ego-driven and experimental with a lot bigger solos.

It's kind of a jazz-fusion, funk, psychedelic kind of thing.

Pretty much all the music that I play has a really deep emphasis on groove and pocket, and typically lends itself to being dance music.

TW: How did you first get involved in the local music scene?

BLOOM: I grew up in New York, and I moved to Seattle in 2001 after going to school in Boston, living there and playing a little bit in the Boston music community. After getting here, I met a gentleman named Lucky Brown; Joel Ricci is his real name, but Lucky Brown is his performance

character. He was out of Bellingham, and we started working together in his band called La Push.

TW: I remember those guys. The first place I lived in Washington was Bellingham.

BLOOM: They sort of dominated the Bellingham music scene for a while there in the late '90s and early 2000s. Joel and I became really good friends, and we started collaborating a lot. Basically, from that time, we worked together on a number of projects, put out a number of 45s and full-length records on a German label called Tramp Records. In doing that project, I learned a lot about putting a big band together and touring and the Northwest community.

I really wanted to take a different approach to American funk music and incorporate a lot more world influences, like Afrobeat, and make it instrumental. That was at a similar time when Grant (Schroff), our drummer, was thinking about putting together a similar project in Seattle.

We put a project together (and) put out an EP, but really we wanted to make some 45s and some records. We didn't really think about it as a live band project because of the size of the band.

TW: You mentioned that there was this need that wasn't being filled, and one of the things that made me want to get in touch with you is I'd been complaining that there seems to be this lack of funk. What do you make of that? Or maybe there's a lot that I'm missing, or a sub-scene that's off my radar.

BLOOM: I think all of that is true, including the last part. Funk means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Where I grew up in the Northeast, there was a lot of funk music goin' on all the time. Especially in the '90s, there was sort of this funk revival movement with Daptone Records putting out stuff. … The scene was really, really rich, and it was always kind of around me. When I moved out here, I realized it was kind of a novelty. It's like something to put on to get people movin', but it's not really important music. It was sort of surprising to me.

But I think what's happening now is there's been another revival. You see it in popular music. Obviously, that “Uptown Funk” track (by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars) is … bringing it to the mainstream. But even way before that, you had Amy Winehouse putting out really funky records, and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings.

Polyrhythmics has our own place in that world. We play music that is really dance-oriented. We try to create a trance – you know, this sort of hypnotic thing that makes it really hard not to move. But we also like to incorporate more complex melodies and sort of take you on a journey while you're having a good time.

TW: Tell me about how your sound gelled into what we hear.

BLOOM: We started thinking of poly-rhythmic funk music as a concept and how it translated all across American music, as well as world music. In world music, in Afrobeat, you just naturally have all these little parts that create a groove. In African drumming, it's the same thing. You have this large choir of people playing really, really simple parts … and that comes together to be this really massive, unmistakable groove or pocket that's just really, really cool.

Quincy Jones (is a) perfect example of really, really polyrhythmic funk music; Michael Jackson's records (produced

by Jones) have so many little parts and intricate things. You just listen to those grooves and they're so thick. That's also an influence on our sound, as are bands like the Talking Heads (or) modern reincarnations of Afrobeat, bands like Antibalas Orchestra or the Budos Band.

TW: Have you been working on some new tunes?

BLOOM: Our album “Libra Stripes” came out in 2013.

That was a real kind of step forward for us. Then we just released a brand new record, called “Octagon,” right at the end of the year. It just came out (on iTunes.) That's sort of what we're touring on right now.

TW: How has your music evolved?

BLOOM: From a writing perspective the songs are more evolved, a little bit more composed than some of the stuff on our last record where there were more featured soloists and stuff going on.

From a production standpoint and the overall sort of vibe of the record, we've really been incorporating more of what we've been exploring in the live realm.

With this record, we had a long time to play these songs live and really air 'em out and take 'em new places from where they started. So I think it captures a little bit more of our sound as a live band, and (it's) a little more psychedelic, a little bit more eclectic at times – dramatic. It's a really cool vibe to the record. We're really, really proud of it.

MONSTER TRUCKS INVADE DOME Seats rumble and the air thunders each time Monster Jam comes to the Tacoma Dome, and the latest visit of this festival of all things motorized didn’t disappoint during a set of shows last weekend.

This year there was less of a story line and more straight-up freestyle driving with heavy doses of flying dirt, engine-revving doughnuts and seemingly axel-cracking jumps during oneon-one races by big-wheeled Monster Trucks.

MANITOU ARTS CENTER TO CLOSE DOWN AFTER 20 YEARS OF SERVICE

By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

It looks like the end of the line for the Manitou Community Center and the arts programs, daycare and martial arts school that it has housed for the last 20 years. Originally built as Manitou Elementary School in 1911 (with additions in 1924, 1957 and 1967), the building and grounds were taken over by Metro Parks Tacoma in 1994 and became a community center the following year. For a time the building served as a rare communal space in South Tacoma until that role was taken over by the STAR center, which opened in 2005.

The arts center, which has well-equipped ceramics and glass working facilities, was not invited to relocate to STAR center and remained in the old building, renting from the daycare that took over the lease. The old community center has thus continued to function, to the apparent chagrin of the parks department that has been seeking permission to sell it off to private developers as far back as 2012, when the property was designated as “surplus.”

At that time, community support for the building kept the parks department from shutting it down.

The collapse of real estate prices during the recent recession no doubt also played a part in the parks department’s decision to hold onto the property.

Now, however, the economy has recovered and, by design or coincidence, the surplus property is slated to be sold off to private developers for use as single-family housing.

According to Ricardo Noguera, director of City of Tacoma’s Community and

UNLOVED. Manitou Community Center will shut its doors Jan. 31.

Economic Development Department, an inspection of the building done around Thanksgiving revealed a number of code violations.

Noguera said that it would cost more than the value of the building to bring the building up to code. Metro Parks therefore declined to renew its lease with the current occupants of the building and all programs and organizations in the building are to vacate the property by the end of this month.

Since 1995, the Manitou Arts Center has taught hundreds of Tacoma residents pottery, sculpting, glass working and much more. The building has been a space where dozens of new artists have had a place to work. The building has been a feature of the annual Studio Tour that is the heart of Tacoma’s Art at Work month. The art center is a main force behind the annual “Empty Bowls” fundraiser in which artist-made bowls are sold to raise money for local food banks.

Noguera expressed a willingness on the part of the city to help the arts center relocate to properties along South Tacoma Way. “But no one wanted to play a lead role,” said Noguera of the people involved with the arts cen-

ter. “No one was willing to step up.” Noguera stated that he is still interested in working with the arts organization to find them another home.

The old building does look run down and frumpy with old concrete planters spewing weedy growth, with green streaks of algae on its ugly purple trim and with its 50’s style geometric roof covered in old needles and cones shed from surrounding Douglas firs.

It is a building obviously unloved by the city and the parks department. Taking up a whole city block, it must be a juicy enticement for hungry real estate developers that have been busily gobbling up Tacoma’s open spaces one by one.

No doubt the only lovers of the old community center are those that have grown food in the community gardens, sweated it out at the martial arts school or have spent hours making handcrafted objects of clay and glass. These folks, destined now to be dispossessed, will no doubt be among the few that lament the loss of an old building and resent the particle board, cookie-cutter houses that will be tossed up in its place. Then the old Manitou Community Center will exist, fondly or not, only in our memories.

Charging onto the Dukesbay stage, New Muses continues their tradition of intense, powerful adaptations of classic works with a stunning new production of William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Set in a war-torn modern day Verona, and with a powerhouse cast led by Jenna McRill (TMP’s “Spelling Bee”) and Managing Artistic Director Niclas Olson (“Doctor Faustus,” “Hamlet”) in the title roles, this production strips away the baggage of “the greatest love story ever told” to reveal a hard hitting and intense story of war, family, and most of all love. Tickets: $10. Info: www.NewMuses.com/Romeo-and-Juliet.html. For Tickets: www.newmusesrj.bpt.me This is NOT a Dukesbay production. New Muses Theatre is another resident theatre company at The Dukesbay Theater. We hope you will be able to come to this highly recommended show. One of Shakespeare’s best!

A FORCE OF NATURE STORM LARGE MAKES TACOMA DEBUT WITH PINK MARTINI

By Ernest A. Jasmin

es.â&#x20AC;? She did most of the heavy vocal lifting, with percussionist Tim Nishimoto rotating in to sing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zundokoâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Back,â&#x20AC;? among other fan favorites; and trombonist Robert Taylor lending a hand on â&#x20AC;&#x153;She Was Too Good to Me.â&#x20AC;?

The set was most festive when a few dozen fans jumped onstage to swing to the ballroom jazz of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flying Squirrel.â&#x20AC;?

And the party wound down on a similar high note as a conga line snaked around the venue as Pink Martini finished with Geoff Muldaurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brazilâ&#x20AC;? (familiar from the Terry Gilliam movie of the same name and based on Ary Barrosoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1939 classic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aquarela do Brasilâ&#x20AC;?).

Last time Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pink Martini showed up at Broadway Center, in 2014, band leader Thomas Lauderdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned jazz, pop and world music ensemble featured long-time singer China Forbes and the von Trapp family, the latter helping out with songs from the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dream a Little Dream.â&#x20AC;?

On Jan. 15 at the Pantages Theater, though, it was Storm Largeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to shine. Anyone who caught her appearance on CBS-TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock Star: Supernovaâ&#x20AC;? a few years back or who recalls her campy lounge act, Storm Large & The Balls, from regular appearances at Jazzbones in the early 2000s knows how fitting her name is. (And that is her real name, by the way.)

During her Tacoma debut with Pink Martini, the 6-foottall, normally blonde bombshell sported cranberry tresses and a pair of form-fitting gowns, with her trademark â&#x20AC;&#x153;LOVERâ&#x20AC;? tattoo visible in bold calligraphy on her back during the second half of the show. Large was at turns sultry and hilarious, hypnotizing fans with slinky, slow-mo gyration during the build up of

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: JANET JACKSON RESCHEDULED Looks like Janet Jackson was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbreakable,â&#x20AC;? after all. The pop queen had to postpone the launch of her tour this month, which included a Jan. 13 stop at KeyArena, as she prepared to undergo surgery for an undisclosed ailment. But Live Nation has announced that all dates have been rescheduled. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll now visit Seattle on July 5, and tickets for the January date will be honored then.

It had been reported that Jackson was being treated for possible throat cancer, but she recently denied those rumors via Twitter.

PHOTO COURTESY OF TACOMA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

HANDS-ON. Eva Strom-Avila learns about the violin at Tacoma Symphony Orchestra's Mini Maestros program.

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma Symphony Orchestra will launch its fourth annual Mini Maestros series with a session called “The Great String Thing-a-Machine” at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 31, at the University of Puget Sound’s Schneebeck Concert Hall.

“It’s designed, essentially, to be an introduction to the Symphony for very young children,” TSO Executive Director Andy Buelow said of the series, which is aimed at kids ages 2 to 8. “Also, my idea was that, if we want to connect with their parents, we need to provide them with something they can bring their children to.”

The four-part series is divided into concerts that introduce local children to the different families of symphonic instruments: the strings, brass, percussion and woodwinds.

Kids will also learn basic concepts – high notes versus low notes, major and minor keys - before the series culminates in a TSO performance of

Sergei Prokofiev’s classical symphony, “Peter and the Wolf,” conducted by music director Sarah Ioannides.

The smaller, introductory concerts allow kids to interact with members of the Symphony and the instruments that they play. “They actually get to touch, hold and try out musical instruments for themselves,” Buelow said.

“That’s the kind of experience that parents are looking for for their kids: hands on. It’s not like they have to sit in their seats and be quiet and listen to the symphony. There’s dancing. There’s questions and answers. They can get up and march around on the stage at one point.

Some lucky kid gets chosen to conduct, and that’s why we call it Mini Maestros.”

“The Great String Thing-a-Machine” will feature a quintet providing an introduction to the strings. That will be followed by “Brass Ahoy!

Shiver Me Timbres,” an introduction to brass instruments that will be held at 2:30 p.m. on March 16.

“The brass concert’s always fun for me, because brass players are very jolly and they really kind of get into the spirit of things,” Buelow said. “They’ll dress up like pirates and explain what’s different about the various brass instruments.

It’s always cool to see the kids’ faces when they see a tuba and when they learn that the French horn, if you stretch it out, is over 20 feet long.”

“Around the World in 50 Drums” and the finale with “Peter and the Wolf ” will follow, at 2:30 p.m. on April 17 and May 22, respectively. Tickets for each Mini Maestros performance is $10 general admission, $7 for children ages 12 and younger, with discount packages also available.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Feelings of home and family come into play, as your usual inferno of emotions take on a gentler tone. Caring for people – including yourself – can be bestowing a heavy sense of duty. All you want to do is stay at home with the people in your closest inner circle. Your couch will be getting lots of play this week.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) You are feeling tender toward your fellow employees and perhaps even bosses. You may take on extra work just to ease someone else’s burden, with no thoughts as to how it may benefit you in the long run. Focusing on others’ needs is definitely well within your wheelhouse and it’s something that spiritually fulfills you, as well.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Warm, fuzzy feelings and conversations that tug on your heartstrings are both something to look forward to at this time. Perhaps you have issues with loved ones or neighbors that need to be addressed or it may simply be exclamations of appreciation. Either way, there is much to be said between you and someone you are close to. Make sure that it is said with love and compassion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Traveling to see the matriarch of your family or mother figure is highly likely right now.

Perhaps she is in a position where she needs her basic needs looked after and taken care of by someone with knowledge of what she needs and when. Your loyalty to this person is second to none and you have no problem with doing what it takes to make sure she is okay.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You may be feeling like a homebody more than usual this week. Even though you may be getting exciting invitations for social events, you – or your wallet – may not be feeling it. Make do at home and find free and inexpensive ways to enjoy being there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) You can count on intense, all-consuming feelings for someone right now. They may be bordering on obsession, so tread lightly. We are all prone to intense emotions but you can keep a cool head and not let it get the best of you. Wait until next week to make any decisions about partnerships when the feelings ease up and your head clears.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Intuition may be at a heightened state, as your empathy is kicked up a few notches and you metaphorically walk in others’ shoes. A friend in need never looks any further than your front door for the healing and compassion they so desperately need. Perhaps even a bowl of chicken soup when they’re ill. This is something to take pride in.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Psychic flashes and déjà vu may surprise you with their frequency right now. Always one to consider yourself “tuned in,” you notice that you’re picking up on a lot more subtle cues as of late. Your empathy manifests in instant knowing as to why someone is feeling the way they feel. With all these signals, make sure to offer the support and friendly shoulder to those in need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) A kind of fierce loyalty springs up for your long-time friends. You are prepared for when things go wrong to take on full caregiving responsibility. If you can’t solve their problems, you can at least make sure they’re fed and have a clean house. Giving of yourself in service is your specialty. Take care of the household chores for a friend so they can get some r’n’r.

We’ve hidden 12 Tacoma Weekly-themed words in this word search. How many can you find?

Not sure what you’re looking for? Head over to B5 for the complete word list.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) When you are committed to someone, that commitment runs deeply and quietly. It is ever present, though you may not acknowledge it continuously. This week you will feel an extreme emotional connection to the one you love and if not already committed you may feel these things for someone new. Thoughts will be passed intuitively between you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) For the next seven days you will be working on your homestead. Nothing brings quite the amount of relief and comfort than having a functioning and aesthetically pleasing abode. Wrap up all the little details as best you can before the flu bug comes around and lays you out for a few days.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Strong and urgent feelings for your relatives and offspring have you roaring with loyalty.

Heaven help the person that tries to do anything to someone you love. In times of need, your family knows that they can lean on you. Regardless of internal conflict within your group, you can rest assured you have support.
