REGIONAL EPA CHIEF TOURS ‘GREEN STREETS’ By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma’s recent, and growing, roster of environmental street improvements as well as its initiative to promote “green streets” has gained national attention that will be used to promote similar projects around America. The changes are a far cry from when the regional administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Dennis McLerran, was starting his career in Tacoma as a city planner in the mid 1970s. Those were the days before the Foss Waterway was a federal cleanup site and contaminated soil from decades of industrial activity could be found just

under the surface. “There are a lot of great things happening here,” he said during a tour of the Prairie Line Trail’s water filtration system, rain gardens along Pacific Avenue, recent road improvements to better handle street runoff around Wapato Lake and the parking lot of Cheney Stadium that allows water to filter through layers of soil rather than flow into storm drains. “It is exciting to see Tacoma be a leader in green infrastructure. There is a lot of inertia behind doing what we have always done, so it takes a lot of projects like these to change that.” Tacoma’s water treatment projects

Graduation rates from Tacoma schools were in freefall five years ago. Just over half of students in public schools graduated on time. “We knew we needed to do something and do something fast,” former superintendent Jim Shoemake said. The Foundation for Tacoma Schools formed. Planners expected about 15 people at its first meeting. More than 150 community members showed up. Momentum built. Flash forward to this week, when more than 700 community leaders attended the district’s State of Tacoma Schools address at the Hotel Murano to review the district’s report card on educating children. “It is remarkable what we have done up to this point,” Shoemake said of the partnership of more than 50 community, business, government and education entities to improve schools. Tacoma Schools Superintendent Carla Santorno took center stage for the good news that graduation rates are now about 70 percent and climbing toward X See SCHOOLS / page A9

Every year only an estimated one-quarter of all physical assaults against women by intimate partners are reported to the police. To battle statistics like these, Tacoma has launched the Courage to End Domestic Violence campaign, encouraging citizens all across Tacoma to stand up to domestic abuse. The campaign was launched in tandem with the second annual Breaking the Silence Rally at the University of Washington-Tacoma on Oct. 3. The launch of the Courage Initiative corresponds to October’s National Domestic Violence Awareness

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Your world may still be rocked from the Blood Moon and lunar eclipse last Wednesday. A relationship issue could be coming to a head. Try to keep your cool and work things out diplomatically, seeing all sides. Take productive rather than destructive actions that will better serve all.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Sparks will soon fly in your romantic sector as it rebounds after Wednesday’s full moon and lunar eclipse. Passions sizzle, as you may meet your soul mate or rekindle with current or past love partners. The heart wants what the heart wants, but is it really in your best interest?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) A key to happiness is to make sure you enjoy where you are regardless of where that is, making the best of each situation. The powerful energy from the full moon and lunar eclipse last Wednesday is still intense for you, as Mercury turns retrograde today. Finish your projects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Don’t do anything that involves a lot of risk this week. If you are feeling reckless, try going to a movie or playing a video game instead of a possible injury or lapse in judgment. There is also a push and pull effect going on that may cause you to behave in a start and stop manner.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) There is a chance you may be lured into a destructive attraction that either involves a person or material object. Your rebellious side might try to push you in a direction you may not want to go. Resist impulsive urges when they try to emerge. Stand back and take a break.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) This past week’s Blood Moon and lunar eclipse could have you on an emotional roller coaster ride causing extreme mood swings. Be careful that you do not give into destructive behavior or say something in spite. Your passions are your strength and also your weakness.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Your self-esteem could use a boost. Career goals and ambitions could clash with home and family matters. Look at your priorities and come to a compromise. Repressed emotions could be coming to the surface, forcing you to examine and confront some important issues. Go with the flow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Your body may be telling you that it is time to take a break or slow your pace. As our temple, we should treat ourselves with care, kindness and respect. Get plenty of rest, relax or listen to what your body is trying to tell you. Seek natural methods to achieve physical wellness.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Many changes of plan, travel or education may rock your world this week. Ultimately these changes could work in your favor. Your confidence is still very high, encouraging you to move out of your comfort zone. Someone may ask for your advice or a favor. Be flattered and have fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Finding the right balance may come easier for you in the next few weeks. There is a lot for you to manage, both at work and at home. Make lists and prioritize tasks and projects so they appear less overwhelming. Ask friends or colleagues for their help and expertise when needed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Your attention to detail and getting the facts straight may be off this week, as you may find yourself spinning like a top. Reel in and focus on your next course of action. People may offer their help to you for physical projects, spiritual guidance or business consulting. Be grateful!

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Don’t ignore the signals that your body may be telling you. Seek the advice or diagnosis of a medical professional when necessary. You may just need a change in diet or lifestyle. Create a wellness plan for yourself and your family that is realistic, cost effective and long lasting.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK VISIT US ON FACEBOOK MHJLIVVR JVT [HJVTH^LLRS`

No. ‘G’ Street and 2nd Ave. Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Broadnax announced new staff appointments and the creation of the new Office of Equity and Human Rights to further the Equity and Empowerment Initiative, which was identified as the City Council’s top priority in 2014. These new appointments are effective Oct. 6. Broadnax has appointed Diane Powers as director of the office to lead a nine-person staff comprised of existing city resources. The Equity and Human Rights staff will partner with city departments and help with community outreach to increase access to services and opportunities to satisfy essential needs, advance well-being and help all people achieve their full potential. The new office will focus on implementing the framework of the Equity and Empowerment Initiative, which was passed unanimously by the City Council on Sept. 30, and gave city leadership the ability to create the office. The city manager has also formally appointed Nadia Chandler Hardy as the Neighborhood and Community Services (NCS) director. Chandler Hardy will also continue to serve in her current role as assistant to the city manager. Additionally, as a result of Powers’ transition to lead the new Office of Equity and Human Rights, Pam Duncan has been appointed the Human Services Division manager in NCS. Lastly, the Office of Environmental Policy and Sustainability is being transitioned to the Environmental Services Department to have a broader scope and create better integration, capacity and strategic alignment for sustainability efforts in both the organization and community.

Tacoma will have the opportunity to meet Ehrenreich when she visits the library at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 21. The author, in conversation with TV Tacoma’s “CityLine� host Amanda Westbrooke, will talk about the book, her career and the issues addressed by the book – income inequity, the death of the American Dream, the destruction of the middle class and certainly the battle to raise the minimum wage.

POLICE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR FATHER/SON CRIME TEAM By David Rose :DVKLQJWRQ¡V 0RVW :DQWHG 4 )R[

Puyallup Police are concerned that a pair of criminals from Virginia may be looking for new targets in Pierce County. They say Nicholas Coman and his son Matthew pose as contractors to steal DAVID ROSE jewelry and precious metals from unsuspecting homeowners. They were last seen trying to pawn some of those stolen goods in Puyallup, but that isn’t the only store they’ve targeted. They also sold stolen jewelry at Gold and Silver Pawn in Las Vegas, home of the reality show “Pawn Stars.� Police say the father and son have been committing crimes across the country. “We’re dealing with a residential burglary, theft of a safe, trafficking in stolen property,� said Puyallup Police Detective Mike Lusk. “It’s enough to warrant a nationwide warrant.� Police have tracked the suspects from Maryland to North Carolina to Nevada. Now they believe the two are hiding out in Western Washington. Two weeks ago, police say, Matthew Coman was seen at Ace Pawn

Month and provides the city the opportunity to introduce the initiative’s two awareness campaigns – “Men Against Domestic Violence� and “A Step in the Right Direction.� “Men need to stand up and be a voice for ending domestic violence,� Deputy Mayor Victoria Woodards said in a press release. “Too often domestic violence is portrayed as a ‘women’s issue’ but it is really an everyone issue.� The Courage campaign kicked off with political leaders, city workers and citizens coming together to speak out against domestic violence. Guest speakers at the rally included Woodards, Pastor Keith Galbraith, Pamela Duncan, Police Chief Don Ramsdell, Fire Chief Jim Duggan, Deputy Chief Tory Green, Jonathan Grove, Willis Jenkins, City

and Loan in Puyallup. “He makes a pawn transaction just like any other ordinary person would do, nothing suspicious is seen,� Lusk said. But Coman was selling vintage jewelry taken from a homeowner in Virginia, police say. Storeowners say they had no way of knowing the goods were stolen. It was only later that his name raised a red flag. “That transaction is uploaded to a database, a law enforcement database,� said Lusk. “That’s how we’re able to search for those stolen articles.� Police don’t know how long the two have been here, but they’re concerned they may be planning their next theft. “The reason they got into this person’s home was they were contractors, they did a bathroom remodel and came back and burglarized the home. So I think they’re going to use that ruse once again to victimize more people.� Police hope someone will recognize them, before they’re able to commit any more crimes. Police believe the father and son are in a blue 2003 Chrysler minivan with North Carolina plates CJY-6914. They have family in the Orting area. If you’ve seen them or have any information that could help police track them down, call an anonymous tip in to: CRIME STOPPERS: 1-800-222-TIPS.

CouncilMember Ryan Mello, Korbett Mosesly and Dr. John Casteele. “The face of domestic violence tends to be a woman; men who abuse women often come from abuse themselves,� Woodards said at the rally. “If we’re really going to eradicate domestic violence, we’ve got to look everywhere and start everywhere and focus on everyone, and that’s what were here to do today.� “When you have the courage to speak, you empower a victim to have the courage to leave, that’s why it’s so important,� Mayor Marilyn Strickland said. “It sounds like an easy decision, but when your livelihood, the roof over your head and your family, and someone you actually love and loved you back does this, it doesn’t seem natural to leave.� The rally brought a hodgepodge of community members together of all different backgrounds, all united in one goal.

“Domestic violence impacts all of us, regardless of color, sexual orientation, our gender identity, our national origin, our social economic states, whether we live in the North End or the East Side – it affects all of us,� Mello said, highlighting the effects of domestic violence on the LGBT community. Ramsdell spoke on just how close to home the problem of domestic violence is to Tacoma. Police officers in the city respond to an average of more than 3,000 domestic violence calls per year. Over 30 percent of aggravated assault calls in the city are related to domestic violence, over 50 percent of simple assaults are domestic violence related and over 80 percent of no contact order violations are domestic violence related. “I’ve seen firsthand the devastation associated with the mental and physical abuse of a perpetrator to a victim,� Ramsdell said. “This past Tuesday I took a pledge to end

domestic violence, a personal commitment to speak out against domestic violence, and to find ways to help support and empower victims of domestic abuse and to find courage to stand up and say enough is enough.� Tacoma will host several events throughout the month to raise awareness for both campaigns. These events include a speech from Steve Pepping, program supervisor at the Puyallup Tribal Domestic Violence Treatment Program at 6 p.m. at the YWCA Pierce County on Oct 16.; YWCA Domestic Violence 101 training at 6 p.m. on Oct. 21; World Affairs Council Tacoma presenting No Boundaries: Domestic Violence in the World and at Home at the Evergreen Tacoma campus on Oct. 23; a Domestic Violence Awareness Conference at JBLM all day on Oct. 24; and the month will be capped off with a Courage silent rally and vigil on Oct. 31 at noon at Tollefson Plaza.

When the officer conducted the stop he couldn’t help but notice the pungent smell of alcohol emanating from the car. After the man bumbled his way through field sobriety tests, he was taken to Fife jail. As the man was read his implied consent warning about the breathalyzer test, he claimed that he didn’t understand his rights. The police officer read them again, to the same response. After a third and fourth reading, the officer explained that he had done all he could to get the point across, and the man refused to make a decision about taking the official breathalyzer test. Despite his confusion, the man was given a refusal slip and booked into Fife jail. Another criminal discovered that if you’re driving without a license, you should probably make sure your car doesn’t have a taillight out. The man, pulled over by an officer on 8th Street on Oct. 3, acted very nervous and tried to get out of his car before the officer even approached. As it became increasingly clear the man didn’t have a valid license, the officer ran his name in a database and a nearby neighbor claimed he had seen the driver breaking into a truck earlier in the night, his bright green construction vest giving him away. He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for his taillight. The man was booked into Fife jail for driving with a suspended license. Compiled by Derek Shuck

The remains were found with a Pacific Lutheran University sweatshirt, women’s size 5 shoes, and women’s size 7 pants. Detectives were unable to identify the woman and believe the remains had been there since sometime between September of 1994 and October of 1997.

Tacoma City Council is prepping for its biennial budget discussions later this month while forecasts call for a $6 million shortfall if spending and revenue projections remain unchanged. “This shortfall increases substantially if the city were to address deferred maintenance issues and provide funding for other capital and services,� according to a budget forecast. With that backdrop, City Manager T.C. Broadnax outlined a proposed budget to largely hold the line on current service levels, while still putting more dollars toward street repairs, deferred maintenance and facility improvements. The city’s 2015-2016 budget totals $3.07 billion, although just $423.3 million of that is in the general fund for city services. The rest is dedicated funds for capital projects and Tacoma Public Utilities. The proposed budget calls for money flowing to the city’s reserve to meet the goal of having 15 percent of the general fund in savings. The budget also backfills about 100 of the 200 positions cut during previous budget years. “The 2015-2016 Proposed Biennial Budget reflects the City of Tacoma’s continued commitment to strong financial responsibility,� said Broadnax. “It was developed with a distinct focus on what our community has said it wants, and is a framework for how we plan to deploy city resources to help realize these community priorities.� The improving economy helps avoid the deep cuts of recent years, but dollars are still tight, especially with the city’s longstanding “structural deficit� of paying for ongoing expenses with one-time revenues. The recovery largely avoids 7 percent cuts that departments were preparing to make. Through the first seven months of 2014, revenues have been up and expenses have been down, leaving the city’s $390 million General Fund with an added balance of about $8 million. Revenues from business, sales and property taxes are up by $3.6 million, while expenses are under budget by $4.6 million. Much of the savings has come from early payment of taxes on the revenue side

and deferred replacement of vehicles and equipment or unfilled city positions on the expense side of the city’s ledger. That means that while the current balance sheets are running in the black, forecasts based on current spending show a $6.4 million “structural deficit� during the coming twoyear budget if nothing changes. That gap grows to $13.2 million during the 2017 and 2018 budget years and to $19.5 million two years later if nothing changes, according to city budget documents. Backfilling on deferred maintenance would cause the gap to jump to more than $40 million. That being said, the current draft budget is balanced, without cuts to police and fire. Key projects are noticeably left unfunded to show adding them means cuts or new dollars elsewhere. That is a much healthier picture than previous budgets. The 2011-2012 budget faced a $32 million gap, and the 2013-2014 budget faced a $63 million shortfall. Those budgets were balanced with a mix of staffing and service level cuts, deferral of maintenance of needed improvements and federal grants, as well as removing an exemption to business and occupation taxes for hospitals. Forecasts were based on spending and taxing levels at the time the council formed a Fiscal Sustainability Task Force last year. The task force recommended 28 budget changes to address a $26.3 million gap projected in the 2015-2016 biennium and a $38.1 million gap projected for the 2017-2018 years if budgets didn’t change. They largely have changed. “Over the last two years, the city carefully reviewed expenditures, monthly financial reports, and methods for monitoring its budget,� said Budget Officer Tadd Wille in a statement. “As a result, the city is expected to meet reserve goals, set aside savings to fund one-time projects in 2015-2016, and propose a balanced 2015-2016 budget that funds recurring expenses with recurring revenues.� That translates into a proposal for a $2.25 a month fee on city residents, for example, to help cover the $3 million a year the city spends on fire hydrant inspections and upkeep.

track businesses that are avoiding business and occupation taxes. That could bring in $1.3 million. Projects not funded in the budget but will likely be added at the cost of other items include $5 million for a community center on the East side, $10 million to $15 million in Link expansion funding and $5 million to $10 million for the city’s historic theaters. That’s where the council priorities step into the discussion. “We are still very early in the process,� said Councilmember Anders Ibsen. If a budget exercise the council did earlier this year is any indication of budget changes, deferred maintenance, street repairs and capital spending on the city-owned theaters and the yet-constructed East side community center will see increases, while funding for senior centers, fire prevention and arts events would drop. On the bright side, state lawmakers face a tougher budget season when the legislative session begins in January. The state Office of Financial Management predicts discussions about cuts and new taxes will be tougher than they were during the brutal times of the last two-year budget cycle. That fact is largely because the current budget of about $80 billion was balanced from one-time accounting shifts that aren’t available this time and the budget must also address $3.8 billion needed to meet the state Supreme Court’s ruling in the McCleary decision that found lawmakers were not adequately funding basic education. Lawmakers were even slapped with a contempt of court order for not making progress since the 2012 decision. The state budget troubles come from the fact that two-thirds of state spending is protected from cuts on either constitutional grounds or by federal requirements. That means any cuts must come from the remaining one third and revenues aren’t keeping pace with expenses, OFM documents state. Washington ranked 11th in state and local tax collections in 1995, but that ranking dropped to 35th by 2011, for example. The U.S. average for state and local tax collections per $1,000 in personal income was $108.31. Washington residents pay $98.94, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

n modern society, keeping romance alive can be difficult, especially for people as accomplished as John and Connie Ladenburg. City service, community work and high profile jobs have led the illustrious couple to be in the center of Tacoma’s eye, but the veteran romantics always remember how important they are to one another, celebrating their 45-year anniversary with a party last Saturday, Oct. 4. It of course started at the beginning, in 1967, when John, currently a trial lawyer and former Tacoma City Council member, was a senior at Stadium High School and Connie, currently a Pierce County Council member, was a junior at Aquinas Academy. John was the resident school sports photographer and often sat next to Connie at school basketball games, as she watched her then boyfriend play. “The boyfriend made the mistake of playing

while I’m sitting next to his girlfriend – classic mistake,� John said. Later, after Connie had broken up with her boyfriend, she re-connected with John at his little sister’s birthday party and sparks flew. “Don’t ask me about dating, because I literally married the first girl I dated seriously. So I can’t give you advice on dating, and Connie can’t either. If you get lucky enough to meet the right person early in life you do,� John said. John and Connie connected on nearly every level, and continued to evolve their relationship over the next two and a half years. “We like to be with each other. He’s my best friend. If I had a choice of who I would spend an evening with or a day with it would be him,� Connie said. As the couple moved on to university, they decided to continue to be best friends for the rest of their lives. “Everyone said ‘you can’t do that, you can’t X See MARRIAGE / page A8

COLUMBUS DAY RECONSIDERED By Jessica Davis With Columbus Day approaching, it’s interesting to consider what we learned, and more importantly, what we didn’t learn in school about the holiday and the man. We can all probably still recite the names of the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, but what were we taught about the brutal legacy of Columbus’ venture and those that followed? According to the late historian Howard Zinn, Columbus’ discovery initiated a time of mass-killings and commenced an era marked by colonization, the tragic dispossession of native homelands – including those of my Taino ancestors – and a seemingly unending drive toward the accumulation of money and power. While much of our modern lifestyle is possible due to resources acquired this way – and much knowledge has been gained through interaction with other cultures – it’s time to consider the harm that has also

been done. Beyond the historical destruction of our natural world and the devastation of indigenous peoples, we would benefit by looking at the insidious impact these trajectories continue to have on contemporary lives as well. While the excessive development that ensued in the New World celebrated the notion that “more is better,� that belief has kept us all moving at unhealthy speeds to achieve an idea of success characterized by money, power and little else. With both human health and the health of the planet in jeopardy, it may serve us to question what values we celebrate in our modern culture and consider whether there are different values we should cultivate instead at this point in human history – values such as sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment. Something else we didn’t learn much about in school was the mutually enhancing relationship indigenous cultures have had with the

Earth for millennia – and this may be a lesson we ignore at our peril. Last month more than 300,000 people gathered in New York for the largest climate march in history. It was a plea to return to a more reverent relationship with the Earth. With Columbus Day approaching, it’s time for a reality check on what we’ve learned, a correction of what we haven’t and the cultivation of a relationship between ourselves and the Earth that’s more in harmony with indigenous wisdom. Jessica Davis is a graduate of the University of Chicago Divinity School. She is co-organizer of the non-denominational, Tacoma-based spiritual community The Path (http:// www.meetup.com/ThePath-org/) and works closely with the Pachamama Alliance to ensure a future of environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment (www. pachamama.org).

Democratic Party must reach out to educate, register voters By Bill Johnston [Editor’s Note: Due to an editorial error last week, the following opinion piece is being re-run again in its corrected entirety.] “Democrats have made a profound mistake in ignoring large parts of this country,� claims U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent Socialist) of Vermont. The senator, in an interview with In These Times magazine, continued, “While the world in Vermont is very different from the world in South Carolina, Mississippi or Alabama, the truth is working families are hurting in every state...not to mount a challenge in a very forceful way in those states is wrong.� The national corporate media claims Washington is a “blue state� (Democratic) because we can be relied on to vote for the Democratic candidate for president but a look at our Congressional delegation and our state legislature makes one question that assessment and ponder the remarks of Sen. Sanders. Once you are east of the Cascade Mountains, the Democratic Party disappears! My family owns acreage in North Central Washington a mile south of the Canadian border “east of the mountains.� I just returned from an “inspection� of our land. I like to kick the dirt at least once a year. The primary election had just ended. Democratic candidates were nowhere to be seen. Washington has gone to the undemocratic “Top Two� primary so the elections often will be between two Republicans. There is not even a Democratic candidate for Congress in the district! Welcome to a oneparty system. But the problem does not lie with the primary system alone. The national Democratic Party and the Washington Democratic Party have ignored the entire eastern half of our state for years. I have been active in state party politics since 1964 and the party’s invisibility is beyond my understanding.

For example, during the 2012 election as I drove into the Okanogan Highlands I observed “Romney-Ryan� 4x8 campaign signs located next to the road in front of many farm houses. Yet just a few feet further would be a cyclone fence enclosure surrounding a pump providing millions of gallons of water to the irrigation system keeping the entire farming economy alive in Eastern Washington. On the gate of the enclosure is a metal sign reading: “PROPERTY OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT- NO TRESSPASSING.� The economic life of these reliable Republican voters depends on the largest hydro-power/agricultural project in the world. Can you say “Grand Coulee Dam?� Yet they proclaim an irrational right-wing hatred of the federal government in every way including voting! Only the city of Spokane can claim three Democratic legislators but the Yakima Valley – dependent on federally-supplied water, with a huge military training base and home to a huge Hispanic population – can’t claim one. Neither can Benton and Franklin Counties, the largest recipient of federal tax dollars in the State of Washington thanks to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. No Democrats the political party responsible for the programs that are the very lifeblood of Eastern Washington Republicans. At the Republican National Convention in 2012 Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the token woman for the Republican Congressional Caucus, attacked President Obama’s remark that business is often successful because of government assistance. Unfortunately he added, “you didn’t build it� without completely explaining his point. McMorris Rodgers seized on this and used her family farm in Eastern Washington as an example of the “rugged individualism her family used to build it ourselves without the government interference!� What she neglected to add was her family farm sits on the shore of Lake Roosevelt -created by Grand Coulee Dam without

which her family farm would be a pile of dry dirt. The response to this speech from the Washington State or National Democratic Committee? Silence –snowflakes falling on water –absolute nothing! Unfortunately this seems the common pattern by the Democratic Party everywhere. Alleged to be “The Party of the People,� the party doesn’t seem to think “the people� need information or perhaps believe the voters are just too dumb to process it. I am not sure which. What I am sure of is I am a precinct committeeman – a party activist – someone who is usually involved in at least one campaign a year and a perfect voter. Yet all I hear from the Democratic Party is – send us money! The “issue?� – “Because we are not Republicans!� Election after election proves the Democratic Party needs basically one thing to win – voters! If the Obama election and re-election didn’t prove that, I don’t know what does. The Democratic Party should begin the day after every general election to concentrate all resources on two things. Issue education aimed at workers, farmers and small business to show them how they are voting against themselves when they vote Republican. And every day in every neighborhood, city, county and shopping mall the party needs to have volunteers at card tables signing people up to vote and to be handing out information on issues. Hey, Democratic Party “leaders,� this ain’t rocket science – just basic organizing with a plan! It’s not that hard to figure out. William F.

Tacoma City Council has entered the budget season with a round of study sessions and public meetings around the city before a final vote is set for later this fall. You would be wise to take note and voice your thoughts about the city’s plan to spend your tax dollars, since cuts are likely as the city continues to solve its longstanding “structural gap.� The current forecast calls for a general fund shortfall of $6 million between what the city is expected to spend versus its revenue projections if current trends remain unchanged. The projected deficit is smaller than during the last two biennial budgets. Some people would even call the current projected shortfall little more than a rounding error when compared to the $32 million in cuts and budget shuffles in 2011 and 2012 and the $63 million shortfall faced during the creation of the current two-year budget. While the overall budget proposal is balanced and avoids the deep cuts of those years, actual funding of departments and programs could swing during the upcoming discussions. If a budget exercise the council did earlier this year is any indication of how they plan to change the budget, changes are expected in addressing the city’s backlog of deferred maintenance projects, street repairs and on the city-owned theaters. Cuts to fund those increases could come from city funding of senior centers, fire prevention and arts events. And new fees are in the works. Residents and taxpayers should voice their support of city spending plans they endorse as well as council cuts to fund them. Unfortunately, one can’t happen without the other. That’s how budgets work. And then there is the ongoing trouble of how the city will address the forecasted deficits looming on the horizon, which could top $40 million, if left unchecked. City Council workshops and community meetings are planned through the fall to promote fiscal transparency and community involvement in the process to spend taxpayer dollars. Attend one of them. Then voice your thoughts. Tacomans deeply value their civic right of complaining about government spending their dollars, however they don’t generally hold the responsibility of being informed about such issues in the same regard. Educate yourself. The City Council will discuss the upcoming budget during its study sessions on Oct. 14, Oct. 21, Oct. 28, Nov. 4, Nov. 18, Nov. 25 and Dec. 2. Community meetings are set for 6-8 p.m. on Oct. 13 at The Evergreen State College, 1210 6th Ave.; on Oct. 22 at Wheelock Library, 3722 N. 26th St.; and on Oct. 30 at Lincoln High School, 701 S. 37th St. More information about the budget can be found at: www.cityoftacoma.org.

It just means it’s hard.� Forty-five years, five kids and 11 grandchildren later, the couple is still going strong. “I think it’s because we’re friends. We don’t ever treat each other any worse than we would treat our best friend and I see married couples do that sometimes – they yell at each other. Would you really treat your best friend that way?

never really let anything build up into a problem. We try to talk about it, share it and then we don’t sweat the small stuff,� Connie said. “Communication, I think, is a really important thing, to figure out that this takes time, figure out what it is that you really need to talk about. Sometimes it’s not that big of a deal. Some things will build up; those are the ones you want to talk about. Go with the flow, learn how to talk to each other.� “And I’m so reasonable almost anybody can get along with me,� John added, jokingly. Both John and Connie are fortunate enough to have their jobs reinforce their skills as a couple, developing empathy that has helped them through the few disagreements they’ve had. “One thing you learn to do as a trial lawyer is put yourself on the other side of the table. I’m going to ask you questions as a witness, I’m going to cross examine you. I need to understand who you are and where you’re coming from in order to get information from you so that you don’t just shut me down. As a trial lawyer you have to be

able to put yourself on both sides of the table,� John said. “Social workers are the same way. They have to put themselves on the same side. One thing that builds relationship is you put yourself in the other person’s chair. If I say ‘you idiot!’ how are they going to feel? Is that going to engender a positive response or a bad one? Once you do that then you understand ‘okay, I don’t need to do that.’� John and Connie have a unified goal of bettering the community and they see much more of that in the future. Their last tax return had more than 100 non-profit groups they had donated to throughout the year, some of which, like Safe Streets and Communities in Schools, they helped get off the ground. “We’re going to be doing something, something of service to other people, because that’s a better and higher calling in life than serving your own good,� John said. “There’s so much need in the community, but every little bit that we can do chips away at that need a little bit at a time. If we can get more and more people chipping away, then those needs get fulfilled,� Connie said Though the Ladenburgs have dedicated their lives to bettering the community around them, they consider

their biggest success to be the family they have raised together over the last 45 years. “All five of our kids are special and all 11 of our grandkids are special. We’re big into family, family is everything to us,� John said. “I think one of the most gratifying things for me as a parent is to see our children parent successfully. It’s so cool to see them interact with their kids, raise their kids, even discipline their kids and have fun with their kids. I love to just sit back and observe it. It’s very gratifying seeing our kids be successful adults, as parents,� Connie said. Whatever the future holds for the couple, they know they will be facing it together. “When I was a prosecuting attorney I had to go on a business trip out of town. We had been married 20 years and we had never spent a night apart. It was the first time Connie and I had not been together at night in 20 years,� John said. “The weird thing to most people is that neither one of us feels the need to be alone, ever. We never say, ‘I need to go on a solitary walk for an hour.’ It’s more like, ‘no, go on a walk with me.’�

The change is a paradigm shift away from traditional “gray infrastructure� in the form of pipes and concrete treatment plants to “green infrastructure� like pervious streets and native plantfilled rain gardens rather than roadside retention ponds. “Cities are going to have to do one or the other,� said McLerran. “Tacoma has chosen the green way to get there.� Tacoma is, after all, the first city in the nation to formally begin a green roads program that will outline how Tacoma’s roads and transportation facilities can serve as models of environmental, economic and social stewardship through sustainable design, construction and maintenance. Many of the projects come in less expensive than traditional “gray� approaches and save money over time with lower treatment costs and upkeep expenses. “Because it’s new and perceived

The levy and bond packages passed last year with the highest margins in district history, which helps the cause along with a host of education-focused efforts around Tacoma that range from University of Washington-Tacoma focusing on teacher and staff training on best practices for reaching at-risk children to volunteers serving as mentors to University of Puget Sound offering to cover the difference in tuition for any student who qualifies but can’t afford the private university’s sticker price. “That is unprecedented,� Santorno said.

But as we develop the policy and program we will have to weigh community benefits, operations costs and other factors to find the right fit for Tacoma.� They also can beautify water treatment functions that are otherwise eyesores or buried underground. The 14 rain gardens along the downtown strip of Pacific Avenue provide urban plantings to filter stormwater rather than simple drains to underground pipes. The Prairie Line Trail stormwater system uses the historic railroad tracks as working pieces of art to filter runoff from about 40 acres along the hillside. Drips and trickles of water run along metal rails with a constant ping of droplets even during cloudless days. “We turned something from being unattractive to being an asset,� Tacoma Public Works Assistant Division Manager Lorna Mauren said.

That means measurable goals and trackable progress to hold and grow that community support. “We have to be transparent and accessible to you,� Santorno said as she highlighted the district’s new website that offers a host of detailed reports on student achievement.

RIVAL LINFIELD TOO MUCH FOR PLU LUTES AT HOMECOMING By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

I

t was the sort of game that a person may witness once in a lifetime. With more than 30 years of football fanaticism under my belt, I had heard about them and read about them, but a game like this had never played out before my eyes. On Friday night, Oct. 3, the Lincoln Abes visited Mt. Tahoma Stadium and beat the host T-Birds by a score of 91-0. The score has since received coverage statewide and throughout the nation over the newswires. Many of the headlines seemed to cast some degree of shame upon Lincoln head coach Jon Kitna for coaching his team to such a lopsided score. Some suggested he ran-up the score. All of the stories were derived from a game report from a reporter who wasn’t even at the game. Once the dust settled, both coaches made it clear that there was no “run-up” of the score. It was just the perfect combination of events that created an anomaly, or as I dubbed it on my way home from the game – The Perfect Storm. I was there, and here’s how it all went down. The first thing that needs to be said is the Lincoln Abes (5-0) have a very good team this year. They may even be exceptional at the state level. Mt. Tahoma (1-4), on the other hand, has some great athletes but is struggling as a football team. If odds makers had set a line on this game they probably would have favored Lincoln by at least 45 points. That’s probably too low of a number, but it’s there to set the groundwork. Enough introduction, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. The opening Mt. Tahoma kick-off went out of bounds and instead of taking the ball at the 35, Lincoln went for a rekick. Senior Dehonta Hayes returned the ball 53 yards to the Mt. Tahoma 25-yard line and the Abes were already knocking on the door. The first play from scrimmage, junior quarterback Jordan Kitna dropped back, scanned his receivers and then sprinted up the middle of the field for a quick touchdown. Sophomore Deven Dupea’s point-after kick was good

The 14th-ranked Pacific Lutheran Lutes had their hands full with arch-rival Linfield on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Puyallup’s Sparks Stadium. The fifth-ranked Wildcats (3-0) began hammering away early at the Lute defensive line and ran away with the ballgame in the second half for a 41-14 victory, putting themselves in the driver’s seat for the Northwest Conference crown. The Lute homecoming crowd was treated to an exciting first half and the Lutes looked to still be in the ballgame at halftime. The Lute band was dishing out tunes from the likes of Led Zeppelin and Green Day and the PLU cheerleaders were pumping up the crowd of 3,726 throughout the contest. On the opening possession, Linfield showed their muscle up the middle as they ran four consecutive plays up the gut for a total of 21 yards, nearly putting the Wildcats at midfield. Six plays later, Linfield had worked its way down to the Lute 14-yard line when quarterback Sam Riddle connected with wide receiver Brian Balsiger in the back corner of the end zone for a 7-0 Linfield lead with 10:05 remaining in the first quarter. PLU (2-1) had a tough go of it on its first possession and had to punt after a three-andout. Linfield took over on its own 26-yard line. The Wildcats moved the ball out to its 46-yard line when linebacker Doug Sullivan dropped Riddle for a seven-yard sack on second down. Sullivan came through again on the next play by blindsiding Riddle and forcing a fumble that was recovered by linebacker Kyle Madsen. The Lutes took over at the 29-yard line and chipped away at the stingy Wildcat defense before facing a third and eight from the 13-yard line. PLU quarterback Dalton Ritchey dropped back to pass and looked for an open receiver. Seeing none open and a hole up the middle, Ritchey tucked the ball away and plowed his way to the end zone for a touchdown. The game was tied 7-7 with 2:16 remaining in the first quarter. On its next possession, Linfield drove all the way to the PLU 20-yard line before the Lute defense stopped them cold and forced a field goal attempt. Wildcat kicker Michael Metter punched a 37-yard field goal through the uprights and Linfield took a 10-7 lead with 14:12 remaining in the second quarter. Bad luck hit PLU on the next play from scrimmage. Ritchey threw a pass to wide receiver Kyle Warner, who tipped the ball

The skates were laced up, knee and wrist pads in place and the helmets fitting snug. The Dockyard Derby Dames roller derby league was back for the start of its ninth season and the gym was rocking Saturday, Oct. 4 at Pierce College. With a new season brought about some new faces and new looks to the league. In the off-season, the league consolidated to three teams as the Hellbound Homewreckers decided to hang up the skates and retire the team. Several players moved to the remaining three teams and as it was sad to see a team disband, it also opened up a new twist to the Dockyard events with the introduction of a wild card team from another roller derby organization. For the first time out, the Dames invited the Andromedolls from the Emerald City Roller Girls league in Eugene, Ore. The Marauding Mollys, last season’s champion, would square off against the Andromedolls, while the Femme Fianna and the Trampires would close out the night with a grudge match. Emcees Phil Dirt and James T. Jerk were already in mid-season form with their running banter and commentary and the DJ was spinning the hits. Another big crowd was on hand and many were dressed as pirates and Irish folk or sporting their favorite team’s duds. The first bout was a tough one. The Andromedolls looked to be in prime form, while the Mollys had a bit of trouble shaking off the rust and cobwebs from the offseason. By the time the Molly’s began skating their kind of game, they were already trailing by triple digits

in this surprisingly hard-hitting affair. While they put up a much better fight as the bout wore on, the Molly’s were unable to dig themselves out of such a deep hole and dropped the match 231-125 to the talented visitors from Eugene. There was a touching tribute at halftime for the Mollys as they rolled a series of photos and music to remember their former coach, the MaRODer, who passed away this summer after a long illness. Next up was the Femme Fianna taking on the Trampires and it was immediately a high-speed and bruising contest. The match went down to the final seconds as the Fianna edged the Trampires 223-219 and set the tone for the continuation of their very serious rivalry. The Dockyard Derby Dames are always working with charities and this season they have teamed-up with Courage 360, a non-profit geared toward strengthening women’s career and life skills, and connecting businesses to future employees. Fans were invited to vote for the “Queen of the Bout� with their dollars and all the proceeds would go to Courage 360. The first Queen of the Bout award went to Anita Hit Some Won. The Dames have also been working with the Tacoma All-Stars girls’ basketball team as inspirational mentors this year. The Dames will return to Pierce College on Nov. 22 for the second bout of the new season.

The Chief Leschi volleyball team had been searching for a win for three years. Whether it was big losses or close matches, they came up empty but kept on coming back for another round and another chance at success. The hard-luck Warriors pushed it to the limit Tuesday, Oct. 7 at home against North Beach and pulled off a gutsy victory that neither team will soon forget. The Warriors and Hyaks put together one of the most exciting volleyball matches of 2014 going a full five games before Chief Leschi rebounded from a hard loss in the fourth and made a comeback in the fifth to win 25-23, (22-25), 25-22, (25-13), 17-15. Following the win, the girls had quite the surprise for head coach Chad Ohelo; an entire cooler full of ice water. “It wasn’t something that I expected,� said Ohelo. “It’s kind of like a hit-or-miss sometimes with my girls whether they’re going to come to play or not. Being that tonight is our first victory in like three years, it was our best effort to date. I’m very proud of the girls and that’s why I let them go home without having to clean up this mess.� In the first game the Warriors ran out to a 11-3 advantage before the Hyaks began clawing back. At 14-8 it looked as though North Beach was building some momentum and soon the game was tiedup at 16-apiece. The teams traded points to 19-19 before sophomore Celina Bem took over service for the Warriors. Four serves later it was 23-19 and the Warriors looked to close out the game, but North Beach fought back closing within one point at 24-23, but the Hyaks’ Caitlin Oberg was long with her serve and the game was the Warriors’ 25-13. Game two was a much tighter affair from beginning to end. Neither team had

more than a three-point lead, but once North Beach took an 11-10 advantage it never relinquished the lead and took the game 25-22. The third game saw North Beach take an early 7-4 lead but with Celina Bem at the service line again, the Warriors evened it up at eight. The Hyaks took a quick lead at 10-9 but gave up five straight points when junior Tameeka Lewis took over service for the Warriors. North Beach roared back to tie the score at 15 and then the teams traded points until the Warriors trailed 19-20. Sophomore Tallia Campbell put together a five-point run holding serve and Chief Leschi went up 23-20. The teams traded off points again, but the Warriors had the advantage and pulled out the win 25-22. Game four was an early runway by North Beach. The Hyaks ran out to a 7-0 advantage, but the Warriors bounced back to tighten up the score at 10-11. From that point North Beach put together an impressive run and with an eightpoint service from the Hyaks’ Daphanie Fournier, the visitors took the game 25-13 and pushed the match to the fifth and final game. The fifth game was another backand-forth battle with the teams tying at 3-3, 7-7, 11-11, 14-14 and 15-15. Finally, Tameeka Lewis dug out a block from North Beach’s Emily Taair that went back over the net and found the hardwood floor and a Warrior victory at 17-15. The soaking-wet coach was all smiles even as the Chief Leschi gymnasium had nearly emptied. “Our whole season so far has been positive steps,� said Ohelo. “We haven’t come up victorious until tonight, but we’ve been getting better. The little steps we’ve been taking have been working for us. Our defense is getting better and that’s where our strength is. It’s back to the basics. It’s enjoyable to see them enjoy a win. I’ll take it.�

The Puget Sound football team dominated Lewis & Clark in all facets of the game as the Loggers topped the Pioneers, 38-7, at Baker Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 4. The win marks Puget Sound’s first 2-1 start since the 2008 season, and its first consecutive home wins since 2006. The Loggers (2-1, 1-0 NWC) opened the 2014 campaign with a 13-10 win at home against Claremont-M-S. Senior quarterback Braden Foley finished 29-for-47 for 293 yards and two touchdowns, while Noah Frazier led the rushing attack with 96 yards on eight carries and a touchdown. Wideout Kevin Miller pulled in a season-high 12 catches for 107 yards. On the defensive side, Jake Wuesthoff returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and Miller netted 72 yards in punt returns, including a 41-yard return that set up an easy Logger touchdown at the start of the fourth quarter. The Loggers grabbed a 7-0 lead in the game’s opening drive after Foley connected with Peter Bell for a 29-yard touchdown strike just over one minute into the game. The Puget Sound defense kept the Pioneers off the board through their first two possessions, but Lewis & Clark took advantage of a Logger fumble on the Puget Sound 47-yard line. Soon after the Logger turnover, Michael Hawkins rushed for a 15-yard touchdown to even the score, 7-7, towards the end of the first quarter. A 36-yard field goal by Sawyer Petre early in the second quarter allowed Puget Sound to regain the lead at 10-7. Foley connected with Bell for a touchdown once more, this time for a six-yard completion that increased the Logger lead to 17-7 with 4:52 left in the first half. Puget Sound carried its 10-point lead into halftime. Puget Sound remains at home when it hosts Pacific on Saturday, Oct. 11, during homecoming weekend. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Blake Warner’s second-half goal proved to be the difference as the Pacific Lutheran women’s soccer team shut out host Whitman 1-0 to move into first place in the Northwest Conference and clinch its first eastern Washington road sweep since 2000. Pacific Lutheran’s fifth consecutive win was also the Lutes’ third straight shutout and improved PLU’s record to 7-2-1 overall and 5-1 in the NWC. With 15 points, PLU jumps Whitman (14) and Puget Sound (12) in the standings, as UPS lost to both Whitman and Whitworth over the weekend. Whitman falls to 6-3-2 overall and 4-1-2 in conference play. The Lutes withstood an aggressive Whitman attack in the first half, as the Missionaries went into halftime with an 8-1 shot advantage but no goals to show for it. PLU reversed that trend after the break, out-shooting the Missionaries 5-0 in the second period. Warner finally broke through for the Lutes in the 66th minute of play, scoring the eventual gamewinner in a shot from the top corner of the box. Takara Mitsui picked up her fifth shutout of the season for PLU, while Whitman’s Haley Case made one save to go with the one goal allowed to PLU. On Saturday, Oct. 4, PLU scored three goals in a 20-minute stretch during the second half to pick up its first win against Whitworth since 2006 as the Lutes defeated the Pirates 3-0 in Spokane. Following more than 60 minutes of scoreless play, Lauren Larson put PLU on the board with the eventual gamewinner. The junior forward took a short pass from Jamie Hoffman and knocked it in from close range for her teambest sixth goal of the year in the 65th minute of play. Kaylie Rozell made it a 2-0 lead 13 minutes later on a one-time touch finish following a pass from Emily Hanna for Rozell’s third goal of the year. PLU’s final goal came via a Kelly White penalty kick in the 85th minute of play. It capped a match that saw PLU out-shoot Whitworth 11-4 and tally four corner kicks to none for the Pirates. Mitsui made one save for PLU while earning the shutout in goal, while Andrea Stump made five saves to go with the three goals allowed for Whitworth. Prior to Saturday’s win, PLU had been 0-10-4 against Whitworth since a 2-0 win in 2006. The Lutes had earned ties in three of the past four matchups, including a pair of scoreless draws in 2013. With the win, PLU improves its overall record to 6-2-1 and its NWC mark to 4-1, tying Puget Sound for second in the standings. The Lutes return home on Oct. 11 and 12 and will look to extend their win streak against Linfield on Saturday and Willamette on Sunday. Both matches are set to kick off at 12 p.m.

The Pacific Lutheran University men’s soccer team could not manage to snag a win in eastern Washington, losing to Whitman 2-1. The Lutes end their weekend away with a 3-3 conference record and a 6-6 overall record. Whitman started strong, getting the only goal in the first half. Park Harmon scored a goal for the Missionaries with an assist from Riley Paul. Harmon’s goal was made in the 23rd minute of play, giving the Missionaries a 1-0 lead going into halftime. Jordan Downing brought the Lutes back up to 1-1 as he continues to be the leading scorer for PLU. Downing made a goal for the Lutes in the 56th minute of play, unassisted. Downing leads the team in goals, having made seven throughout the season. The tie at 1-1 did not last long. Three minutes later, Whitman’s Jose Beleche made the third goal of the game with an assist from Hunter Stopenhagen. Beleche brought the Missionaries the winning goal, allowing them to beat the Lutes 2-1. The Missionaries outshot the Lutes 21-16 with five shots on goal compared to PLU’s seven. PLU’s keeper Mike Arguello played all 90 minutes and made three saves. Whitman’s Niko Contos made six saves while playing all 90 minutes. Contos leads the North West Conference rankings with a .840 save percentage. The Lutes return home next Saturday, Oct. 11 to host cross-town rival Puget Sound Loggers at 6 p.m.

The Puget Sound men’s soccer team scored two early goals as it shut out Whitworth 2-0 in a physical battle on Sunday, Oct. 5 in Spokane. Six minutes into the match, Andrew White netted his third goal of the year by tapping in a pass from Sam Zisette. Connor LaFerriere fired in a shot from outside the 18-yard

box 20 minutes later to give the Loggers the 2-0 lead over the Pirates. Goalkeeper Nathan King made five saves in the shutout win. “Today’s outcome was a result of great execution and game planning,� said Logger head coach Reece Olney. “I’m super happy for the boys to be rewarded for their hard work and get the result today as well as sweep the weekend. However, it doesn’t get any easier from here as we have to continue on the road and try to find a way to compete against the very well coached and quality opponent of Pacific Lutheran.� Puget Sound (8-3-1, 5-1 NWC) got out to an early lead in the sixth minute with White’s goal from Zisette. In the 26th minute, LaFerriere found the back of the net from about 20 yards out to give the Loggers the 2-0 lead over Whitworth (9-1-1, 4-1-1 NWC). King came up big in the period, with four saves, to keep the Loggers up by two at halftime. In the second half, Puget Sound took just one shot as the game became more physical. Whitworth received four yellow cards in the half, while the Loggers were given two. The Pirates took 12 shots in the period but the Puget Sound defense stepped up and denied the Pirates a goal to secure the 2-0 win. The Pirates managed to outshoot the Loggers (19-9) and had more corner kicks (5-1). White led the Loggers in shots with four. Puget Sound looks to carry this offensive momentum as it faces cross-town rival Pacific Lutheran at the PLU Soccer Complex Saturday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m.

The Puget Sound women’s soccer team took shot after shot in the first half but failed to find the back of the net as it fell 1-0 to Whitworth on Sunday, Oct. 5 in Spokane. The Loggers took 15 shots in the first half by 12 different players. Seven of the shots were saved by the Pirate goalkeeper. Annie Jonsson, the only Puget Sound player to take a shot in the second half, led the Loggers in shots with three in the match. Whitworth (3-7-1, 2-5 NWC) took a 1-0 lead three minutes into the first half. Puget Sound (6-3, 4-2 NWC) fought back, taking 15 shots in the period. In the 17th minute, Alex Teesdale’s header nearly went in but hit the post instead. The Loggers took seven shots on goal in the half but the Pirates finished the period up by one. In the second half, Jonsson took two shots that were just wide. The Puget Sound defense held the Pirates without a shot for a 30-minute span. However, the Loggers were unable to score a goal as they ultimately came up short to Whitworth, 1-0. The Loggers outshot the Pirates (17-4) and had more corner kicks (8-4). Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas made one save in the loss. Puget Sound looks to bounce back next weekend as it travels to take on Lewis & Clark and Pacific on Saturday, Oct. 11 and Sunday, Oct. 12.

and Lincoln led 7-0 just 22 seconds into the ballgame. Following the kickoff, the T-Birds took over from their 10-yard line and on the first play the ball was stripped from junior running back Keenan Wade-Herrera, setting up Lincoln with the ball at the five-yard line. One play is all it took as Kitna found junior tight-end Devan Brady in the back of the end zone. Lincoln now led 14-0 with just nine seconds off the clock since their first touchdown. Following a penalty on the kickoff and two gains of 15 and seven yards, Mt. Tahoma found itself all the way down to the Lincoln 28-yard line. Senior linebacker B.J. Hawthorne jarred the ball loose from Wade-Herrera on the next play and Lincoln had the ball again at their own 31-yard line. The Abes put together an 11-play, 69-yard drive capped by a 12-yard touchdown pass from Kitna to Brady. Lincoln led 21-0 with 6:50 remaining in the first quarter. The T-Birds started the next series from their own 18-yard line. On the second play, junior quarterback Adrian Allen was intercepted by junior Darien Williams at the 35-yard line. Williams sprinted a tightrope down the sideline, getting to the end zone just before several T-Birds could catch him. Lincoln now led 28-0 with just 60 seconds having elapsed from the previous score. On the next possession, Mt. Tahoma moved the ball out to its own 42-yard line before stalling. Hayes returned the punt to the T-Bird 46-yard line. Eight plays later, senior wide receiver Jayson Williams scooped up a Kitna pass from the tops of his shoes and crossed the goal line untouched for a 24-yard touchdown. Lincoln now led 35-0 with 43 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Lincoln held Mt. Tahoma to a three-and-out on the next possession and following another long Hayes return, began the next drive at the T-Bird 30-yard line. Two plays later, Kitna dumped a short swing pass to Williams, who then weaved his way through traffic for a 20-yard touchdown. The Abes now led 42-0 with 9:44 remaining in the second quarter. Allen hit Wade-Herrera for a 33-yard pass to open the next T-Bird drive, but was unable to move any further than the Abe 41-yard line and gave the ball back over on downs. A five-yard scamper by junior running back Dionte Simon and two long runs by Kitna moved the Abes down to the T-Bird 14-yard line. This time Kitna hit Simon with a short swing pass and the speedster hit the end zone untouched. Lincoln now led 49-0 with 7:03 remaining in the second quarter. Mt. Tahoma went to work from its own 23-yard line on the next drive. Four plays later the ball was on the turf again and the Abes had the ball at the 23-yard line. Following a four-yard sack by junior linebacker Irasaiah Fua, Kitna hit Williams with another short pass and Williams did the rest, breaking a tackle at the 15-yard line and weaving his way to the end zone. Lincoln now led 56-0 with 4:27 remaining in the second quarter.

A chop block, three incompletions and a false start backed the T-Birds up to their own five-yard line on the next series and they were forced to punt. Hayes caught the ball at the 40-yard line near the left sideline and dashed toward the right sideline where he bolted up-field and into the end zone untouched. Lincoln now led 63-0 with 3:36 remaining before halftime. On the next series, Mt. Tahoma was stalled yet again deep in their own territory and the following another punt, the Abes took over at the T-Bird 29-yard line. One play is all it took as Kitna hit junior wide receiver Alvin Johnson for another short pass and Johnson spun his way past the goal line. Lincoln now led 70-0 and it was halftime. The Mt. Tahoma band performed on the field at halftime and sounded terrific. However, the T-Bird highlight of the night may have been their decisive win in the Les Schwab Roll-Off. Students from both schools had to roll a five-foot tire from one end zone to the other and back. Mt. Tahoma trounced the Abes in this one and both crowds really got a kick out of it. It would be a running clock throughout the second half. Only a score would momentarily stop the clock for the rest of the game. With an eye to somehow slow the game down, Jon Kitna sat his starters for the entire second half. Mt. Tahoma received the kickoff to start the second and went to work from their own 26-yard line. Lincoln’s second unit proved stout immediately and intercepted the ball at midfield. A five-yard and 40-yard run by sophomore running back Trenton Mitchell and the Abes were knocking on the door once again. Sophomore quarterback Joey Sinclair hit Zavier Huebner in the back of the end zone and Lincoln pushed its lead to 77-0 with 7:26 left in the third quarter. Lincoln forced another three-and-out on the next T-Bird possession and following a penalty, took over at the Mt. Tahoma 15-yard line. Three plays later, Mitchell pounded his way into the end zone with several T-Birds trying to bring him down. Lincoln now led 84-0 with 55 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Mt. Tahoma turned it over on downs on the next possession and Lincoln took over at their own 43-yard line. A steady diet of running plays and the Abes were once again in the shadow of the end zone at the Mt. Tahoma four-yard line. Freshman wide receiver Nicholas Goss hauled in a quick pass from sophomore quarterback Willie Hamilton and Lincoln had hit 91 points. Game over. Jordan Kitna finished with 197 yard passing on 12 of 18 attempts and threw for seven touchdowns. Kicker Deven Dupea was perfect on all 13 point-after kicks. People will probably argue about this game for years to come. It truly was an anomaly and I will probably never see its like again, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Short fields, spectacular punt returns and turnovers led to a touchdown buffet for Lincoln. Next up for Lincoln is a home game Oct. 10 against North Thurston at 7 p.m. Mt. Tahoma will square-off with Foss at Mt. Tahoma Stadium the same night at 7 p.m.

in the air, only to have it intercepted by Kyle Belcher at the Lute 42-yard line. It only took five plays for Riddle to find receiver Evan Peterson open after his defender had fallen down and the Bellevue native rolled into the end zone and the Wildcats now had a 17-7 lead with 12:22 remaining in the second quarter. PLU went backward on the next series as Riddle was sacked on the first play and the Lutes were at their own 26-yard line. From there, the Lutes would put together a nine-play 74-yard drive capped by a nine-yard pitch-out to running back Niko Madison. The highlight of the drive was a 21-yard pass from Ritchey to wide receiver Kellen Westering on a fourth and 15 from the 30-yard line. Linfield’s lead was down to 17-14 with 6:38 left in the second quarter. Lightning struck for Linfield on the following series. The Wildcats started at their own 28-yard line and in three plays moved the ball to its own 47. Riddle launched a deep ball to wide receiver Charlie Poppen that was caught in stride and Poppen took the ball into the end zone untouched. Linfield took a 24-14 lead into halftime. After receiving the opening kickoff of the second half, the Lutes were stopped on third and seven on an incompletion that looked like it was probably a defensive holding penalty that didn’t happen. The Lutes punted away and Linfield took over at its own 30-yard line. Six plays later Riddle kept the ball, sneaking across the goal line from two yards out and the Wildcats now led 31-14 with 10:56 remaining. After stalling near midfield, the Lutes pinned Linfield back in its own two-yard line following a punt. Four plays later it looked like Connor Cummings came down with an interception off of Riddle at the Lute 40-yard line. The play was nullified by a questionable pass-interference penalty and the Lutes lost their last shot to really get back into the game. Linfield was finally forced to punt at midfield, but the next series was killed quickly when Ritchey was intercepted by Mikey Arkans at the Lute 37-yard line. Linfield tacked on another touchdown with 7:57 remaining in the fourth quarter and a 28-yard field goal by Metter capped the game at 41-14. PLU returns home to face Willamette Oct. 25 at Sparks Stadium. Kickoff is at 1 p.m.

t’s hard not to notice Q-Fresh Christian Military Barbeque when walking around the B & I Public Marketplace at 8012 South Tacoma Way. Not only does the eccentric man in the chef ’s hat, the ubiquitous Q-Fresh, greet and compliment nearly everyone that walks by, but also it’s difficult to ignore the music and general sense of fun and excitement exuding from the stand. Originally hailing from Biloxi, Miss. Q-Fresh has been bringing his southern roots to the B & I for the past three years, operating a food truck for over 30 years in Hilltop and surrounding areas. Despite his southern history, Q-Fresh has been a member of the Tacoma community since the early 1970s. “I love the B & I, I love the diversity of people that come through, I love the fact that the majority of the people know what they’re going to get as far as an old-school building, but with a lot of heritage,� Q-Fresh said. Currently, in honor of both his father’s service and the service of men and women around the nation, all military members both active and retired get free desserts on Saturday, and Q-Fresh hopes to be able to bump that up to a daily deal soon. “A lot of times I feel like the military doesn’t get the love and respect they deserve. I show it through my barbeque,� Q-Fresh said. Q-Fresh places an emphasis on fresh and homemade foods, whether it’s his catfish filet or his patented “Bruce Lee Ghetto Spicy Hot Link.� Q-Fresh also isn’t afraid to give classic menu items a bit of a kick. Whether it’s a jalapeno potato salad, spicy macaroni and cheese or his Yumbo spicy gumbo with pork, beef or chicken, if you want it, Q-Fresh Barbeque will leave your mouth hot but craving more. Several dinner options are also available, ribs or chicken with two sides and homemade jalapeno cornbread for $10, brisket dinner for $13 and much more.

Q-Fresh strives to make his restaurant more than just a place for food. On occasion, you may even see him step away from the grill and bust out a quick rap for the benefit of a live audience. “I like keeping everything positive and creating a barbeque show for people of all ages,� Q-Fresh said. Q-Fresh included Christian in the name of the stand as a reminder of Q-Fresh’s faith, and the blessings he has received to be able to run the stand, and the love and respect that instills in him. “Sometimes in life people know about love and respect and sometimes in life people have no clue, that’s why I show love and respect through my barbeque,� Q-Fresh said. This also inspires Fresh to give back to the community, as he always plans to support the Al Davies Boys and Girls Club and the Mary Bridge Children Health Center. Q-Fresh would like to give a special thanks to the Tacoma and Lakewood Police Department for the many years of supporting Q-Fresh Barbeque in the community. Q-Fresh Christian Military Barbeque is open from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

ARTWORK, POETRY, AND WRITING FROM TACOMA STUDENTS If you are a 2nd grade student in Ms. Diamond’s class at Geiger Elementary, you may write about your weekend in your journal as you return to class on a Monday. Here are what four bright students wrote about one Monday: BABY BROTHER: �I had a baby brother and we named it Russell. It was a boy. I was three years old, and I was so excited. Me and my dad left and got dinner.� – Avery CAMPING: “On Friday after school I quickly got home. My friend Carter was already there. I quickly ate and then I got into the car and we drove to the campsite, following the car of my friend Carter and his brother Grady. It was a two hour drive. When we got to the campsite, we found an open spot and set up our tents. My tent was bigger than Carter’s tent. Grady and Carter and Grady’s mom Jen slept in their car. Carter’s and Grady’s dad Mark slept in the

tent with Carter. After we set up the tents we noticed that there was a tree next to my tent that looked easy to climb and started climbing it. I never climbed trees before but it looked fun so I decided to try. It was easy and fun! After that we played a football game. Then we played frisbee monster. We climbed trees and played frisbee monster all day. Before bed, we roasted morsh mellows over the fire. I made a double smore with two pieces of chocolate, two morsh mellows and two graham crackers. I slept well that night.� – Anastasia NFL: �NFL is a football league. There is 32 teams in the NFL. I like the NFL, my uncle likes it and my cousins like it too. My favorite team is the Seahawks. They won a super bowl and I was happy.� – Jermaine GEIGER PARK: “I went to Geiger School Park. It was amazing. I saw people there. It was so awesome that day. It was the best day of my life today. Ok I did my best!� – John

The Adams Family Exhibit, Part II Through Dec. 30

SAY IT. Seong Shin talks about WILLO. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

The Women’s Intergenerational Living Legacy Organization, or WILLO, started as the brainchild of Tacoma architect Seong Shin. The concept behind the new group is simple: Women making a difference by sharing their insights and experience. “I am from Korea (where) I always had wonderful women around me,” Shin recalled. “They shared their wonderful stories with me. I was informed by those stories, and when I need to make decisions those stories always come up. “When I look at American culture these days, we are so segregated from each other, and our young generation doesn’t have those kind of opportunities that I had before. ... I thought, if we get together and share stories and get connected, that would be better for us. I just had this simple idea.” The group’s first big public event, in conjunction with Tacoma Arts Month, is the inaugural WILLO Storytelling Festival, which will go from 12:30-3 p.m. on Oct. 12 at Broadway Center’s Theater on the Square, 901 Broadway. The free showcase will feature 10 Tacoma women and girls sharing their stories as they are interviewed by TV Tacoma’s Amanda Westbrooke. Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland will provide opening remarks, and Puyallup Tribe’s Cultural Director Connie McCloud will christen the event with a traditional, Native American blessing. Among those scheduled to speak are local philanthropist Griselda “Babe” Lehrer, educator Maxine Mimms and community leader Dawn Lehrer.

“We’re talking heavy hitters, women who are very respected in their communities,” said local political consultant Ronnie Bush, a member of WILLO’s board of directors. “The idea is to get elders from the community to help the younger people understand how they can move their lives forward.” Students from Bates Technical College will also be there filming the event, which is part of a larger project, aimed at archiving women’s stories, creating a traveling, multimedia exhibit that will visit local schools and, ultimately, a gathering place where women from diverse backgrounds can learn and network. “Five years from now, we want to get a permanent space that we can call home,” Shin said. “It’s going to be a multimedia, women’s story museum (where) people can come, sit around and talk - get connected face to face.” Learn more about the WILLO project online at www.willotacoma.org. A complete list of this weekend’s featured speakers is as follows: Eva and Alli Brooks (speaking on foster care), Babe Lehrer (community activist, philanthropist, entrepreneur and author), Lea Armstrong (Korean American leader, entrepreneur, founder of LASCO), Dawn Lucien (civic leader for government, arts, education and waterways), Rosa Franklin (African-American leader, military community activist), Cindy Niemi (Multicare Health Foundation, major gifts officer), Melissa Jorgensen (Hilltop Gardeners, community activist) , Theresa Pan Hosley (president of Chinese Reconciliation Foundation), Maxine Mimms (founder of the Maxine Mimms Academy).

John Adams (Oct. 30, 1735 – July 4, 1826) was an American statesman, diplomat and political theorist. A leading champion of independence in 1776, he was America’s first choice after George Washington and became the second president of the United States (1797– 1801). He was one of the most influential founding fathers of the United States.

Adams came to prominence in the early stages of the American Revolution. As a delegate from Massachusetts to the Continental Congress, he played a leading role in persuading Congress to declare independence and assisted Thomas Jefferson in drafting the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776. View documents that show that, as a representative of Congress in Europe, Adams was a major negotiator of the eventual peace treaty with Great Britain, and chiefly responsible for obtaining important loans from Amsterdam bankers. Karpeles documents also exhibit that he predicted that the Revolution would spread to the South American countries. Adams and Jefferson jointly studied the Barbary States in order to eliminate the problem of pirates from those States attacking

American shipping. Adams’ revolutionary credentials secured him two terms as George Washington’s vice president and his own election in 1796 as the second president. He lost a battle for a second term as president with Thomas Jefferson. After inviting Congress to Jefferson’s inauguration, he declined to attend himself. John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 – Feb. 23, 1848) was the sixth president of the United States from 1825 to 1829. He was the son of President John Adams and Abigail Adams. He was a member of the Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later AntiMasonic and Whig parties. He was also an American diplomat and served in both the Senate and House of Representatives. He served 17 years as U.S. representative from Massachusetts after he served as president. Adams was involved in many international negotiations, and helped formulate the Monroe Doctrine as Secretary of State. He was also an avid opponent of slavery and even wrote poetry to try to eliminate slavery. Historians agree he was one of the great diplomats in American history. Like his father, Adams lost a battle for a second term, the first president since his father to serve a single term. He announced the inauguration of Andrew Jackson to Congress, but again, like his father, he declined to attend himself. John Adams and John Quincy Adams were the only two presidents to ever decline attending the inauguration of the next president.

HERITAGE BLUES ORCHESTRA GOES BACK IN TIME

PHOTOS BY GLEN CASEBEER

SULTRY. Chaney Sims’ powerful voice rattled the rafters of the Rialto Theater. By Glen Casebeer Special to Tacoma Weekly

Listening to the Heritage Blues Orchestra is like a trip back in time, back to a time when music didn’t need all the bells and whistles; a time when it was more about the music than what it was being played through. Not that they don’t use modern technology, because they do, but this band can operate just fine without it. Seeing them is very much a spiritual experience, or so I had heard; and it is that and more. During sound-check, before the group’s show at Tacoma’s Rialto Theater on Saturday, Oct. 4, Bill Sims - the elder statesman of the group and father of vocalist Chaney Sims - was banging away on the ivory; and, at one point, he called out to Junior Mack, Chaney and anyone else that was listening, asking the name of the Bob Dylan song that Jimi Hendrix covered. Someone yelled back “Along The Watchtower,” and he lit into a lovely piano version of that song. He only played about a verse, but it was quite entertaining. The moment foreshadowed the spontaneous, fun vibe the band would channel on stage later, laughing, joking and giving each other a hard time, things that only a family can get away with. At one point, Chaney ribbed her pops about blaming things on the mercury retrograde, and maybe there was a

SUAVE. Junior Mack of Heritage Blues Orchestra at the Rialto Theater. little bit of that going on during the show. There were a few sound difficulties, but the band played through them, and they delivered a huge dose of some of the finest blues, soul and gospel you’ll find anywhere on this big, blue rock called earth. The quartet dialed up an energetic and electric version of “Catfish Blues,” which they knocked out of the park. This lead the way into a duet by Chaney and her dad, giving guitarist Junior Mack and the drummer a much needed break.

SALVAGE &

This father and daughter team delivered pure, raw blues in its pristine form. And even though the band is more about the sum of its parts, Chaney is clearly one of the most talented singers on the planet. She dug down into a spot deep inside of her soul to find the sounds that would connect with the crowd; sounds that would make them try to understand what she was feeling. After that rafter rattling display, Junior came back out and delivered a blazing version of “Don’t Let Nobody Drag Your

Spirit Down,” from the band’s Grammynominated 2013 album, “And Still I Rise.” And let’s be clear about this: he is as fine a guitar player as you will find anywhere. One of the highlights of the show, for sure, was “C-Line Woman,” an almost mythical playground song from days of yore. Perhaps best known is the version by the incredible Nina Simone from 1964. Watching Bill Sims and his daughter turn their chairs towards each other and play a quick game of patty cake prior to ripping into a monster version of this song, one feels they were put here to do this, to entertain us, to educate us and to take us to back to church in the blues. In fact, Chaney, dressed in a full-length white dress, even promised us this at one point. She was having a blast on this number, smiling and laughing as she rose to her feet and took over the Rialto Theater audience, captivating them with her powerful vocals. As the band jammed its way into a very tribal beat that truly excited the crowd, the younger Sims belted out the words, summoning the ghost of Simone and filling the rafters of the storied 96year-old venue in Tacoma’s downtown. The Heritage Blues Orchestra at times plays with up to 11 members but on this night, the quartet version of the band, stripped down into a tasty, body-moving ensemble that has a blast doing what they love to do. They did what they were put here to do: take people to the church of the blues.

GLAM GODS. The Prophets of Addiction are (l to r) Tim Diedrich on guitar and vocals, Lesli Sanders on lead vocals and bass, Jimmy Mess on drums and vocals and McKenna Gates on guitar and vocals. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

Fresh from their 2014 U.S. tour, The Prophets of Addiction will headline a free all-ages show on Oct. 18 to celebrate being back home. This will be the band’s final local live performance for the year and a big happy birthday to Louie G’s owner Louie Galarza as well. Joining them on the Louie G’s stage will be Amadon, Klover Jane and A Lien Nation. Louie G’s kitchen will be cooking up the establishment’s delicious pizzas and more to enjoy with beer or wine or whatever your choice of libation. “We accomplished a lot this year,� said lead singer and bass player Lesli Sanders, who is also the principal songwriter for the band. The Prophets played 72 shows while on their double-leg U.S. tour this year, with the last one having been on Sept. 13, in Arcada, Calif. “We were home the next day,� Sanders said, admitting that he feels a little blue that the tour is over. “I’m the type that can just keep going – the playing could never end and I’d be just fine to keep on rollin’. That would be fine with me.� One of Sanders’ happiest tour memories is of The Prophets playing in front of thousands of music fans at the Farm Rock Festival in Wauconda, Ill. outside of Chicago. Sanders played an acoustic set and whole band played too, along with L.A. Guns, Sebastian Bach, Enuff Z’Nuff, Great White, Queensryche, Femme Fatale and Warrant, among others. Sanders said he wants to do it again next year, with the festival stretching for two solid days of metal music. On the flipside, when asked for a horror story from the road Sanders had a whopper – he was bitten by what was probably a spider, which sent him to the hospital with a serious leg infection – but not until he played a scheduled gig, however. The professional that he is, Sanders got up and gave it his all like he always does then literally went from the stage to the emergency room. “It really hurt a lot. My whole leg was swollen like crazy. They said, ‘you’re not going anywhere. You may be here for a while,� Sanders recollected. He was given antibiotics intravenously and had to cancel two shows. Looking back on it, this veteran of glam metal and its wild lifestyle laughed over the irony that back in his days in bands like Pretty Boy Floyd he partied like there was no tomorrow and when it was time to show up and play, he was there. “The part that was frustrating was in all

the years I got wasted, doing crazy sh*t, getting out of control and doing all kinds of stuff that could have cost me my life, I end up in the hospital stone cold sober because I got bit by a bug. I never had to cancel shows before no matter how wasted I was.� In addition to The Prophets’ successful tour, Sanders completed his first ever solo CD in 2014. Titled “The Haunting Truth of My Self Portrait,� this five-song album is available now in limited edition and can be purchased at The Prophets’ Oct. 18 show. Like pages from his diary, “The Haunting Truth of My Self Portrait� is a glimpse into the mind, and heart, of a man who lived to tell – lived through the drugs and drink, the insane party life, the emotional ups and downs of the rock ‘n’ roll life and countless other ways Sanders no doubt pushed the envelope to the very edge of the table, just as his fellow musicians of the genre did in those days. This is why he is so valuable in the music world today – he got clean and survived that dazzling theater of glam punk rebellion, libidinous indulgences and empty booze bottles. He’s still writing and playing fantastic music and booking tour dates around the country. Not to mention that he’s about to receive his bachelor of arts degree from Evergreen State College that he’s been working to earn for the past four years. Sanders continues to stretch himself musically, too. For his solo project he took a turn away from heavy rock and gave himself a chance to explore other sounds, instruments and emotions. You’ll hear electronic drums, piano, 12- and six-string acoustic guitar and more on “The Haunting Truth of My Self Portrait� but make no mistake – it has an edge but more cerebral and not so in-your-face. Sanders wrote every song and lyric, performed all lead and backing vocals and played every instrument save for guitar solos on three tracks by Ty McDonald, who also engineered and mixed the CD along with co-producing with Sanders. Looking ahead to 2015, Sanders said he anticipates working on a new Prophets album and booking show dates in the U.S. and parts of Europe if all goes according to plan. “We’ll probably base the tour around festival dates, and we’ve been talking to some larger bands about touring with them as their opening act,� he said, something definitely to watch out for.

She writes blogs on gardening, ponds, natural health and herbal remedies and teaches classes through Free University (www.FreeUNW.com).

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Your world may still be rocked from the Blood Moon and lunar eclipse last Wednesday. A relationship issue could be coming to a head. Try to keep your cool and work things out diplomatically, seeing all sides. Take productive rather than destructive actions that will better serve all.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Sparks will soon fly in your romantic sector as it rebounds after Wednesday’s full moon and lunar eclipse. Passions sizzle, as you may meet your soul mate or rekindle with current or past love partners. The heart wants what the heart wants, but is it really in your best interest?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) A key to happiness is to make sure you enjoy where you are regardless of where that is, making the best of each situation. The powerful energy from the full moon and lunar eclipse last Wednesday is still intense for you, as Mercury turns retrograde today. Finish your projects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Don’t do anything that involves a lot of risk this week. If you are feeling reckless, try going to a movie or playing a video game instead of a possible injury or lapse in judgment. There is also a push and pull effect going on that may cause you to behave in a start and stop manner.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) There is a chance you may be lured into a destructive attraction that either involves a person or material object. Your rebellious side might try to push you in a direction you may not want to go. Resist impulsive urges when they try to emerge. Stand back and take a break.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) This past week’s Blood Moon and lunar eclipse could have you on an emotional roller coaster ride causing extreme mood swings. Be careful that you do not give into destructive behavior or say something in spite. Your passions are your strength and also your weakness.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Your self-esteem could use a boost. Career goals and ambitions could clash with home and family matters. Look at your priorities and come to a compromise. Repressed emotions could be coming to the surface, forcing you to examine and confront some important issues. Go with the flow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Your body may be telling you that it is time to take a break or slow your pace. As our temple, we should treat ourselves with care, kindness and respect. Get plenty of rest, relax or listen to what your body is trying to tell you. Seek natural methods to achieve physical wellness.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Many changes of plan, travel or education may rock your world this week. Ultimately these changes could work in your favor. Your confidence is still very high, encouraging you to move out of your comfort zone. Someone may ask for your advice or a favor. Be flattered and have fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Finding the right balance may come easier for you in the next few weeks. There is a lot for you to manage, both at work and at home. Make lists and prioritize tasks and projects so they appear less overwhelming. Ask friends or colleagues for their help and expertise when needed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Your attention to detail and getting the facts straight may be off this week, as you may find yourself spinning like a top. Reel in and focus on your next course of action. People may offer their help to you for physical projects, spiritual guidance or business consulting. Be grateful!

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Don’t ignore the signals that your body may be telling you. Seek the advice or diagnosis of a medical professional when necessary. You may just need a change in diet or lifestyle. Create a wellness plan for yourself and your family that is realistic, cost effective and long lasting.
