PLANS FOR SPORTS LIGHTS, FIELD EXPANSION IRK SOME NEIGHBORS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

nnie Wright - the historic private boarding school in Tacoma’s Stadium District - has a field that was constructed in 1924. The field is uneven, often filled with puddles and too short for current regulations. So it is rarely used. School officials want to expand and improve the grassy patch and construct a 8,800-square-foot gym as well as add lights around a new regulation-sized, synthetic turf field so athletes at the all-girls school don’t have to play soccer in the dark or battle conflicting schedules of other fields around Pierce County. The school, founded in 1884 on a grassy hillside overlooking what would become Ruston Way, is now surrounded by picturesque houses with postcard

Others say the noise of sporting events and the parking issues created by more school activities linked to a usable play field would clog residential streets. Yet others fear the expansion plans, that would include the need for a retention wall along Garfield Gulch would cut into the natural habitat they are working to restore and create an unsightly barrier along a trail. They have filed a lawsuit against the school to block the plans, even before the construction permits have been officially filed following a community hearing on the plans that prompted school officials to revisit their original plans. The school plans to resubmit a permit application that would limit hours the lights would be used and has hired a lighting expert to find ways to either lower the pole height X See EXPANSION / page A3

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) You may feel like the world is weighing on your shoulders during this week’s new moon and partial solar eclipse. Conserve your energy and try not to get too stressed out over every detail. Do what you can to maintain the peace until you are feeling more up to the challenge.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) An old friend may contact you that may lead to a business venture or other relationship. Make sure all details are laid out in writing. Listen to your intuition if something doesn’t feel right. Lingering money issues should begin to stabilize.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) The new moon and solar eclipse on the 23rd will hit you and your loved ones very powerfully. Emotions will flow as you let go of old thoughts, habits and patterns that no longer serve you. This is an important step that may be challenging at times. Take time outs to calm yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) People may have different versions of the truth. Sometimes they may think it is for the “greater good.” Listen to your intuitions if you are hearing something that does not make sense. This week’s new moon will aid in your quest for uncovering the truth in all aspects of your life.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Some say we are nothing without our health. This week’s new moon urges you to seek out the best wellness solutions and protection for you and your loved ones. It’s easy to take things for granted and to avoid daily chores. Now is not the time for procrastination but for action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Privileges that are earned rather than given hold a greater respect. Have you been taking advantage of a situation to better serve yourself rather than the group? Remember the saying that there is no “I” in TEAM. All pieces are necessary to complete the puzzle. Embrace challenges.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Too much may be on your plate draining some of your usual endless supply of energy. The new moon on the 23rd will be a powerful one causing you to question your priorities. A game of give and take will be played with all being victorious. Enjoy a fun time with your partner this weekend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) You may have lost something very important to you. It may come back in time. Keep your faith that everything happens for the greater good. Wounds heal with time. Express your feelings or secrets with your most trusted friend or loved one. Tomorrow is another day.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Your home and family life may be rocky during this week’s new moon and partial solar eclipse. Old wounds may be re-opened leading to arguments. You may be asked to mediate between family members. Good may come of this if everyone is willing to forgive and compromise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) This week’s new moon and partial solar eclipse highlight your creativity sector. You may experience vivid dreams and visions that may give important ideas. Expanding your avenues of exposure at the workplace or business can be beneficial and ultimately increase income.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Listen to the subtle hints of those around you. What are they trying to tell you? The new moon highlights your social sector ensuring good times and lots of opportunities to meet new and exciting contacts. Dress to impress and look your best. Remember to listen more than you speak.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Everyone has an opinion and a right to voice it. Your mission is to understand the balance between expressing points of view and when to keep opinions private. Think things through before you risk seriously hurting someone else’s feelings or ruin a relationship. It’s all in the effort.

COMMUNITY HONORS JAPANESE HERITAGE WITH SCHOOL MONUMENT By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The Japanese Language School that sat on the slope of what is now the University of Washington-Tacoma campus was a place of safety, serenity, community and learning during the first half of the last century. A monument unveiled last week near the site is now set to continue that tradition for generations to come. A community effort raised money and awareness about the role the school played in Tacoma’s history and created the memorial park and public art installation of “Maru,” by Seattle-based bronze artist Gerard X See MONUMENT / page A8

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

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

The biennial budget process helps assign resources to advance service goals for the community: fostering active lifestyles, fostering appreciation and stewardship of wildlife and natural resources and fostering appreciation of Tacoma’s culture and heritage. These goals were developed with public involvement through the 20-Year Strategic Master Plan that guides Metro Parks’ direction. All residents are encouraged to attend public hearings on budget recommendations on Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. and Nov. 24, 5:30-6 p.m. (study session and first reading). Information gathered from community surveys in 2013 identified the following priorities: Make sure all areas of the city benefit from Metro Parks Make sure every neighborhood has a local park in walking distance Ensure parks in Tacoma are well-maintained Preserve natural areas and open space Improve Point Defiance Park and the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium Replace deteriorating amenities and improve safety at parks To comment on Metro Parks’ goals and priorities, please submit on-line comment by Oct. 31 or call (253) 305-1068. In addition, Metro Parks Tacoma utilizes citizen advisory councils that meet monthly and make recommendations on policy and budget decisions.

Bethann is definitely loud and demanding. As she roars, stomps, and chomps across the classroom, the playground, and her fellow students, her greedy behavior transforms her into a ravaging reptile. The outrageous antics of this very vocal girl will have children squealing with delight. Bethann quickly discovers that having it all is just not much fun without people to share it with. An uncomfortable lesson dramatically transforms bossy, blabbering Bethann into caring, sharing Bethann. Chris Britt has been honored for his political cartoons with the highest awards in the industry, including the Sigma Delta Chi Award for editorial cartooning and the James P. McGuire Award for excellence in journalism. Named cartoonist of the year by the National Press Federation, his drawings have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek, and Time and have been featured on CNN. Britt is a frequent public speaker known for his entertaining discourse on free speech and the role of the cartoonist. A popular TEDx presenter, he describes his job as “lobbing graphic grenadesâ€? for a living. Britt has a visual arts degree from the University of Illinois and has created, produced, and directed multiple political animation shorts that have been featured on MSNBC. He has been a contributing cartoonist for Pelican’s Best Editorial Cartoons Series for many years. Britt lives in Tacoma.

The Vela Luka Croatian Dance Ensemble will perform traditional Croatian dances and provide education on the dances and songs of Croatia. Additionally, there will be memorabilia, costumes and pictures on display provided by members of the lodge. During the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s the Croatian people formed a solid community in Old Town where they established locales for gathering, working, sharing stories, supporting each other and preparing food. In March 1900, the Slavonian American Benefit Society was formed. It was incorporated April 10, 1901. Donated labor and talent of the members built the magnificent edifice of its era – The Slavonian Hall. In 2001, the lodge members commemorated 100 years and commissioned a sculpture that honors the founders and the lives of

The hall achieved its place as a historic site in 1976 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well as on the Tacoma Register of Historic Places. The Croatian people used their expertise and played a significant role in fishing and boat building in Tacoma. At the celebration, Croatian pastries, coffee and tea will be served. We invite all to attend this celebration and learn more about the early settlement of Tacoma by the Croatian community.

No stranger to the City of Destiny, Pierini first visited Museum of Glass (MOG) in 2012, after Tacoma and Biot were officially joined as sister cities. Like Tacoma and the larger Pacific Northwest region, Biot is known for its glass art, specifically its bubble glass. Since his initial visit, Pierini has shown immense interest in MOG’s Kids Design Glass (KDG) program. Earlier this year, he assisted in organizing a live video call between the Museum’s Hot Shop and a school in Biot when student Lilou Duranton’s design “La nuit des dauphins� was transformed into glass by the MOG Hot Shop Team. “Beyond its normal scope of activities, MOG educates children on the magic of this material and makes them dream too,� says Pierini. “During a moment, they can imagine becoming a glass artist and express their emotions with this special material.� Pierini will soon become further immersed in the program as he and fellow Visiting Artist Laty are scheduled to create this month’s KDG creature on Sunday, Oct. 26, the final day of their residency. While this will be Laty’s first trip to Museum of Glass, his unique, colorful glass art already reveals a similar fondness for youthful, dream-like characters to that of the Museum’s Kids Design Glasscreatures.

Deputies with the Pierce County Sheriff ’s Department’s Community Support Team and officers in the Department of Corrections Southwest Community Response Unit arrested DAVID ROSE Washington’s Most Wanted fugitive Robert James in Parkland Tuesday, Oct. 14. He is charged with robbery in the first degree for an armed home invasion in Spanaway on March 13, 2014. “The suspect in this case is extremely dangerous,� said Det.

Linda Miley’s house on North 10th Street overlooks the field. She fears the lights will beam into her house and block her view of Commencement Bay, just so a soccer team of 18 private school girls can play home games at the facility. “It just seems bizarre for this size of school,� she said. She also fears a regulation field would prompt the school to use the facility more often, creating more parking issues in the residential neighborhood. “I feel that the neighborhood has bent over backward to accommodate Annie Wright,� she said. “I never imagined that this little school would think about putting up sports

Deputies say he had cut his hair very short while hiding from authorities. James is the 564th WMW fugitive caught.

I’m not buying it.� Robert Girvin is the volunteer habitat steward of Garfield Gulch, organizing community parties to pull up blackberry bushes and restore the pathway that links the hillside with Ruston Way. He worries about a retaining wall hampering those restoration efforts and creating an unsightly obstacle along the otherwise natural pathway. “We’ve got about four years of restoration work done down there,� he said. “It’s going to destroy some of the area we restored. It’s going to be more like walking along a freeway offramp.� About 40 people have commented about the school’s plans, roughly split between supporting and objecting the expansion and lighting plans, associate planner Charla Kinlow said. She will review the revised application once it is formally filed later this month. That will take two weeks. Any decision can be either appealed for reconsideration or to the Hearing Examiner.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME BALL HELPS GET WINTER COATS FOR KIDS By Ed Troyer &RUUHVSRQGHQW

What’s scarier than monsters and mummies, witches and werewolves and goblins and ghouls this Halloween? Kids without a warm coat this winter! Help make sure that doesn’t happen by attending the Crime Stoppers/Charlie’s Dinosaur Halloween Ball on Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Temple Theatre in Tacoma. Proceeds will help make sure kids don’t go cold this winter. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. In 2012, Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County developed a new outreach program in cooperation with the Cox family following the tragic murder of their grandsons, Charlie and Brayden. Crime Stoppers volunteers teamed up with the Cox family, the case detectives from the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, and child advocacy groups to provide care items for children placed into emergency foster homes. The care items come in the form of backpacks

filled with new coats, bedding, toiletries, clothing, school supplies and toys. These backpacks are distributed by police officers to children who are being suddenly removed from homes due to unsafe, abusive and/or unsanitary living conditions. All of the items are donated by citizens and business in our community and the Puyallup Tribe. There are schools in Pierce County in which nearly 100 percent of the students qualify for free lunch. These kids go to school dressed in layers to stay warm but every child should have a new coat to keep warm this winter so why not have fun raising the money? The Halloween Ball will feature three live bands – Rokkerbox, Michael Crain Band and the New Blues Brothers. Also, DJ Charlie, the Dinosaur will make a special appearance. Auctions, raffles and prizes for best costumes. Don’t miss out on Tacoma’s biggest Halloween party this year! Purchase tickets at http:// tacomahalloweenball.bpt.me.

Not convinced of the man’s legal knowledge, police tried to detain the man, who attempted to flee. When they finally brought him down, they also found a freshly used meth pipe in his jacket. The man was transported to Fife jail on charges of obstruction-hindering a public servant and possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as a citation for drinking in public. Police officers responding to a theft at a Pine Street 7-11 may have found the secret behind the creation of Four Loko on Oct. 12. Officers were called to the scene when a clerk viewed a customer shoplifting a can of Four Loko. Police were easily able to locate the man, but getting him to follow directions was another story. Rather than put his hands where officers could see them, he decided to stick them down his pants and produce the stolen Four Loko. As officers continued to shout directions, he opened it, sat down and started drinking it. He then blurted out that he was never in the 7-11, and had just found the Four Loko in his pants. Not falling for the story, the officers booked the man into Fife Jail for third degree theft. Compiled by Derek Shuck

He took a lot of gold doubloons from his own treasure chest too to fund his Halloween adventure – about $15,000 over 12 years – and he was very happy to do it. “Wages didn’t mean as much to me as doing this for the kids,� he said.

before them. “You have muscles like a clam from the deep ocean,� he would say while shaking hands with the boys, while Lady Di would tell the girls, “You look like a precious pearl from the Caribbean.� “I’m not good at counting much but gold coins and rubies,� the Cap’n said, but he estimated that he saw up to 40,000 trick-or-treaters in his 12 years at Proctor Treats. “The older children, too, because they’re all kids at heart.� Known to landlubbers as Dennis Robinson, he worked a good part of his life as a longshoreman with International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 23. With Oct. 31 being his birthday, every year Robinson would celebrate by dressing up as Cap’n Big Bones and his wife, Diana Robinson, would be the fair Lady Di. Longshoremen are like that – they love their community whether

painting houses for the poor or delighting little children on Halloween. “I just enjoy doing it,� he said. “I do it for the kids. Kids are my priority.� A knowledgeable historian on all things pirate from years of study, Robinson has his act down pat all the way to his salty voice and a skull pinned to his cocked hat with a flashing red eye that seemed to say, “Dead men tell no tales!� He has lots of stories to tell too, about Long John Silver, Captain Morgan and even Black Beard. “He has many sayings to be told and stories of old, for they that have an ear to hear his quotes,� Robinson said of his alter ego. Cap’n Big Bones and Lady Di would participate in many local events like the Daffodil Parade and Tall Ships, and around the state as well, like at Rusty Scupper’s Pirate Daze in Westport, Wash. His gear as authentic as it gets, the Cap’n wears four pistols from the 1700s and on his back a 19-inch long Boarding Blunderbuss from the 17th century. “Arrr, she kicks like a mule,� he would say in his best pirate’s snarl. The Cap’n says he and his Lady may just very well return to the waters of Puget Sound one day, so the Cap’n says to keep yer good eye out for them on some Halloween, when the moon is full and the tide is high. “If buccaneers and buried treasure and all the romance be re-told exactly in the ancient ways can please, as for me it please of old the wiser youngest of today. “So be it.�

GESSEL ORTHODONTICS By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma orthodontist Dr. Thomas Gessel utilizes modern, advanced orthodontic technology including the Empower bracket system, as well as Invisalign. Dr. Gessel is a native of Tacoma, graduating from Curtis High School. Dr. Gessel began his post high school education with a degree in Business Management from Brigham Young University. From there, Dr. Gessel attended the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and completed a post-doctoral residence in orthodontics at the University of Louisville. “I love being an orthodontist. It allows me the opportunity to combine my passion for science, aesthetics, and patient care in a fun and rewarding career. I enjoy getting to know each of my patients personally, customizing treatment plans, and delivering the best possible results,� said Dr. Gessel. Dr. Gessel’s website, www.gesselbraces.com, offers some tips to determine if you or your child are candidates for orthodontic treatment. Some symptoms of common orthodontic problems include crooked teeth, gaps between the teeth, or overlapping teeth. Bite all the way down, but keep your lips open so you can see the teeth. Do the front teeth line up with the bottom? Do the top teeth protrude out away from the bottom teeth? Do the top front teeth cover more than 50 percent of the bottom teeth? Are the top teeth behind the bottom teeth? All of these are also

indicators for orthodontic treatment. Look at your jaw alignment. Does the jaw shift off center when biting down? If you see any misalignment or shifting of the jaw, it suggests a skeletal or jawbone problem, which requires early orthodontic intervention. Gessel Orthodontics offers free consultations to develop a customized plan for you or your child’s orthodontic needs. Dr. Gessel is a PPO provider for all insurances and no down payment is required. Appointment times are flexible to accommodate patients’ active schedules. October is National Orthodontic Health Month and Dr. Gessel is celebrating by offering $350 off of full treatment for all new patients. “We want to encourage members of the community to set up a complimentary consultation to find out how orthodontic treatment can improve their health, improve their smiles and boost their confidence,� Dr. Gessel said. Dr. Gessel is currently accepting new patients. For more information on Gessel Orthodontics, please call (253) 503-1023 or visit www.gesselbraces. com to set up a free consultation.

)65+. Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium is set to get upgrades and new exhibits thanks to $198 million bond passage. Neighborhood parks and recreational sites around the city are all on the list for upgrades. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Metro Parks is set to decide its budget while also developing spending plans for years to come thanks to passage of the $198 million bond voters approved earlier this year. The trick now is not deciding on what to spend the money on, but which upgrades and new facilities come first and which ones can wait to best tie into other work. “Some of the decisions we have to make are when and where we do some of these projects,� Metro Parks Chief Financial Officer Brett Freshwaters said. Many Tacoma parks need costly infrastructure improvements for example, but there is also a need to add facilities and programs so residents who approved the bond can see their tax dollars in action through added amenities. Timing of projects will be based on what system needs are the most critical, what timing helps achieve additional funding, and how park officials can work on improvements in every area of the city.

“Fortunately, we are not in cut-back mode, but there is still a high demand for services,� Freshwaters said. On one hand, Point Defiance needs new water pipes throughout the landmark park while on the other, neighbors want activities at the parks down the street. Both projects will get done, but staffing levels and funding streams translate into the need to prioritize the work. The projects and programs outlined in the 2014 bond will likely take 10 years to be completed. Tops on the list of projects on the fast track is the East Side Community Center, a planned $25 million project that Metro Parks is slated to spend about $6 million on through a growing roster of partners that also includes the City of Tacoma. Plans call for a pool, fitness and sports areas as well as meeting spaces much like STAR Center in South Tacoma. “Ultimately, what is built there depends on funding,� Freshwaters said. The district-wide roster of projects outlined in the $84 million bond that passed in 2005 hasn’t been completed either,

although the key projects are open, namely a pool at Kandle Park, a master plan of Swan Creek Park, Wright Park renovation, the construction of the South Tacoma Activity and Recreation Center and the addition of 10 spraygrounds around the city. Work on those projects came after Metro Parks officials were able to leverage the bond dollars to gain an additional $51 million through grants, donations and partnerships. Parks planners are drafting a 10-year approach to the 2014 bond that will be part of the district’s 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Plan discussions. That’s where residents can help. The park district will be holding public hearings about the budget as well as seeking comments through the district’s online comment card system. Point Defiance, with its landmark zoo and historical sites, will see big changes thanks to bond dollars, with added playgrounds, restrooms and picnicking facility improvements as well as the replacement of the 51-year-old North Pacific Aquarium and the creation of Destination Point

Defiance projects to preserve open spaces while adding amenities in other places to better serve the three million visitors who enjoy the 100- year-old park each year.

A decision by Pierce County Superior Court Judge Ronald Culpepper that Fife could ban marijuana-related businesses within the city limits might not be the final verdict on the issue. The would-be owner of an art gallery and marijuana retail shop planned for Fife has appealed the decision to District Court. Tedd Wetherbee is also asking the court to fast track a trial because issues surrounding cities outright banning marijuana-related businesses has state-wide significance if the decision stands. Wetherbee is also appealing a marijuana moratorium in Gig Harbor, where he also hopes

to open a cannabis shop. He is seeking $3.5 million in a tort claim for damages in that case. “I’m paying rent on properties I can’t open,� he said. Wetherbee alleges Gig Harbor officials had never voiced objections during 22 public hearings and eight months of review, only to pass a moratorium against his operation at the final hour, even after approving an ordinance in 2013 to allow marijuana shops. “Not a single person stood up against it, Wetherbee said. “Not one.� Culpepper’s decision in Wetherbee’s case against Fife this summer stated that the city can outright ban marijuana businesses within the city limits, but did not side on the city’s

argument that Fife would be in violation of federal law if the city allowed the businesses since marijuana is still considered an illegal drug in the eyes of national lawmakers. That argument drew attention from the State Attorney General and the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed briefs in the case against that argument. Culpepper basically ruled that nothing in the voter-approved Initiative 502 that decriminalized the sale of marijuana overrides a local government’s authority to regulate local businesses, including marijuana businesses, through zoning or other conditions. Just because marijuana was legal doesn’t mean cities are required to allow it within their borders, Cul-

pepper concluded. That decision avoided the federal preemption question altogether. “He took a very cautious path,� Wetherbee said. “He knew it was going to be kicked to the next level no matter what, so he took the safe approach.� The state Legislature or the courts could change that landscape during the upcoming legislative session, although lawmakers already have a host of pressing issues to deal with, including coming out from under a contempt of court order for failing to adequately fund public schools following the 2012 McCleary decision. That ruling determined that state lawmakers have failed in their duty of properly funding public

education. That decision means lawmakers have to come up with plans to spend another $3 billion to $4 billion in school funding. More than two-dozen cities and two counties in the state have issued bans against marijuana retail shops within their jurisdictions. Fife’s ban remains in force in the meantime, with a tough legal battle ahead since courts and the attorney general have issued opinions that cities don’t have to allow pot shops if they don’t want them in their borders. “In the case of Fife, I believe he is going to have a tough time winning on appeal,� said Fife’s attorney Loren McCombs, who argued the city’s case in Culpepper’s court. Fife is too small to be allocated marijuana businesses under the Washington State Liquor Control Board’s plan to distribute licenses evenly around the state. Bans in larger cities

that were given an allocation could face tougher legal arguments. But even bans in larger cities would likely pass legal sniff tests by higher court judges since a judge would unlikely order a county or city to allow activity that the federal government says is criminal. “That was Fife’s backup argument, but we asked the judge not to rule on that theory of the case if he could otherwise uphold the city’s ban,� McCombs said. Culpepper did just that. The judge, however, left open a door for Wetherbee to appeal the Fife ban on the grounds that the City Council did not follow the proper process in enacting the ban. Wetherbee did just that, sending it to a higher court. The next milestone in the Gig Harbor case comes in November, while the Fife case could come soon after.

Guest Editorial

How about an early Thanksgiving this year? By Don C. Brunell Since 1957, our Canadian friends and neighbors have celebrated Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October. Perhaps, this year we ought to join them. Given the good news of our state’s bountiful apple and cherry harvests this year, we could actually cook two turkeys – one with the Canadians on Oct. 13 and the other on Nov. 27 when our Americans traditionally get together. Here is why. Apples are the state’s largest agriculture crop. The Washington apple industry is expecting a record harvest this year, enough to fill 140 million 40-pound boxes. That would be an 8 percent increase over the previous record in 2012. The increased crop yield is due to more high-density plantings coming into production, Bruce Grim, executive director of the Washington State Horticultural Association, told the Washington Times. Washington apple producers have another advantage. Desmond O’Rourke, a retired Washington State University agricultural economist, told the Times the downward price pressure could hit East Coast apple producers more because they have older varieties and consumers prefer the Washington varieties. Washington has 31,600 acres in apple production, which generated

$2.25 billion in 2012. Today, our state’s growers account for seven out of 10 apples grown in the nation. The state’s $49 billion food and agriculture industry employs approximately 160,000 people and contributes 13 percent to the state’s economy. That’s more than Boeing. About a third of our crops are exported. The Washington State Department. of Agriculture estimates more than $15.1 billion in food and agricultural products were exported through Washington ports in 2013, the third largest total in the U.S. Wheat is second on the list of the state’s cash crop, worth $1.18 billion in 2012, but the news is not as good there. Too much heat and too little rain this summer are taking a toll on the winter wheat crop in Eastern Washington. This year’s crop is down an average of about 30 percent from last year’s yield and slightly below the 10-year average. But our state has a bumper crop of cherries. Over the last decade, the state’s cherry production – Bings, Rainiers and a host of other varieties – has surged as newer higher-yield trees bear fruit and overall acreage has increased. The state now has about 40,000 acres of cherries in production. Washington’s crop could be up to 21 million boxes this year, which would make it second only to 2012, the Washington Cherry Commission reported. And prices are running about $70 a box for cherries, about 50 percent

higher than normal. The high prices Washington growers hope to get are largely due to the woes of California competitors, who have seen their cherry crop drop from eight million boxes to three million due to drought. In fact, the California drought left an estimated 420,000 acres of farmland unplanted this year, or about 5 percent of the total. California kept much of its agriculture alive by switching from surface water to wells in the hopes that normal snowpack will return to the Sierra Nevada Mountains and replenish reservoirs. Overseas droughts are impacting crops as well. The northern swath of China is experiencing the worst drought in 60 years and this year’s what corn is only half the normal height. So as we pause to say thanks, whether it be Oct. 13 or Nov. 27, we should count our blessings because our reservoirs have supplied our irrigated crops with sufficient water. Perhaps, we can include a prayer that nature will be a little kinder to our wheat farmers and those planting crops in parched parts of the world. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, I just wanted to thank Justin Gimse for his article he just wrote on the Lincoln vs. Mount Tahoma game. As you guys know we have been getting a lot of flack for that game, and I am glad that someone who was actually there set the record straight. Not only myself but Dionte Simons’ mother Lashonte expresses her gratitude. The football and staff have worked really hard to get where they are so far and we are just happy your newspaper showed that. This is why myself personally come to the Weekly first. Thanks again!!! Ty Braggs Tacoma, WA Dear Editor, Tacoma’s public murals should promote the good for Tacoma’s citizens. The murals should not just provide a splash of colorful; they should depict a vision that promotes a better community. The depiction of a saint on the bridge at the end of the Foss Waterway blesses our community. Unfortunately, the new mural of a large moose and balloons makes no sense. Unfortunately, the new mural painted at the base of the Murray Morgan Bridge depicts three large, headless bodies, a divided woman in the middle of to aggressive men. The men and women of Tacoma should be relating to one another with good, clean minds. This mural also depicts a bear drinking a beer. Being drunken animals may have been part of Tacoma’s past, but it should not be part of Tacoma’s future. Finally, the mural has language that says Tacoma is connected to a wider world. Tacoma’s citizens should be good to one another, and connect to the wider world out of this goodness. Todd McIntyre Tacoma, WA Dear Editor, Our family recently received another political advertisement by Representative Denny Heck (Democrat) wherein he claimed he was working for and watching out for senior citizens. Unfortunately, my family’s personal experiences this past year don’t support his claim, and we think it worthwhile to share a few of them. Around the first of this year, our elderly mom fell, broke her hip, went the hospital, and the games began. In spite of the doctors repeatedly classifying her as inpatient, a government bureaucracy of nameless, faceless people kept overruling the doctors and changing her status to outpatient.

Why? It would appear it was to prevent Medicare from having to pay for the recommended rehabilitation treatments necessary to get mom back on her feet. We contacted Mr. Heck’s office for help and were told that he was involved in legislation to address that very issue and were even given a bill number. Unfortunately for Mr. Heck, we took the time to examine its content and found it did nothing to address the problems we had encountered. When we found such was the case, we reconnected with Mr. Heck’s office and they told us to submit a letter to them outlining the situation, and they would pursue it. We did as they instructed and a few weeks later received our answer. Medicare would not pay for the institutional rehabilitation care needed. So much for Mr. Heck’s interest in seniors. Actions speak louder than words. But, there is still more. During this process, we were also told by Mr. Heck’s staff he was only a freshman representative and as such, there really wasn’t much he could do anyway. These responses raise issues worth considering. First, in what category do we put the initial response from Mr. Heck’s office regarding legislative action? Did his staff deliberately attempt to mislead us, put up a smokescreen, or were they simply incompetent? Second, since his staff told us there was really nothing he could do anyway, the natural question is why is he there and what purpose does he serve? Doesn’t such an admission categorize him as essentially useless? Third, on the topic of care for seniors and the elderly, let’s face the facts. President Obama and the supporting cast of Democrats like Heck, Smith, Murray, Cantwell, and multitude of others are responsible for raiding Medicare funds of over $900 billion and redistributing it for their pet projects that don’t work, such as Obamacare or political payouts. Finally, we have contacted Mr. Heck’s office regarding other issues and have marked the box requesting a response. We have yet to hear anything in response to our inquiries and we feel he exists just to support and rubber stamp the continuing dishonesty and ineptness of the Obama Administration. The reader is free to draw his or her own conclusions but we see no reason to have any measure of confidence in what Mr. Heck tells us. Political talk is cheap, and actions always speak louder than words. Gregory Taft Edgewood, WA

The leaders, business owners and politicians of tomorrow are sitting in classrooms today. Those classrooms are underfunded. They have been for decades. State lawmakers are even under a contempt of court order on that fact because they have failed to accomplish their “paramount duty� of funding public education at levels outlined in the state Constitution. Ponder the ramifications of that chronic underfunding for a moment. Absent state lawmakers completing their sworn duty to follow the state Constitution regarding public education, school districts have had to float levies and bonds to fill the funding gaps caused by legislative inaction. That has caused voters to resent school districts themselves for constantly asking for money to fund basic education, largely not knowing their elected officials were actually to blame. And that blame is not in dispute. The only argument left is how lawmakers will come up with the billions of dollars they are constitutionally obligated to spend on public education since the Supreme Court issued its ruling on the issue in 2012. The order has been answered by still more inaction, prompting the contempt decision. It is in front of this backdrop of less-thanadequate funding that fed into the issues of low student achievement in Tacoma Schools for decades. And it is in this backdrop that students are finding increasing success as school officials, business leaders and community boosters have cobbled together programs and partnerships that promote the concept of “cradle to career� education for all. Graduation rates in Tacoma schools were hovering at a shameful 58 percent five years ago, and are now about 70 percent, well on its way to reaching the goal of 85 percent by 2020. If such successes can be found without adequate funding, imagine what can happen if that money flows into local education the way the state Constitution mandates. But it takes more than money to prepare students for successful and rewarding careers. Possibly more important than dollars, in fact, are the mentors, roll models, goal setters, coaches and community cheerleaders who promote education in everyday life and support the efforts of students to set their sights on challenging goals rather than ones that offer immediate rewards and self gratification. That means you. Everyone in the community has roles to play in educating our children, since these children are in the “classroom of the real world� more than they are sitting behind desks or hunched over beakers in chemistry classes. You are their teachers, albeit subtly, at every encounter. At the coffee shop. At the bus station. At the movies. On the neighborhood sidewalks, and home. If you don’t happen to have a student in your life and are interested in playing a larger role in the success of the community’s future leaders, the school district has the Community Partnership Office, and can connect you to a volunteer opportunity that fits your schedule and interests. That office can be reached by calling (253) 571-1087 or online at graduatetacoma.org/ volunteering-opportunities.

W Monument Tsutakawa at the corner of South 17th Street and Pacific Avenue. The location is part of the new Prairie Line trail, which opened earlier this fall. Tsutakawa is best known for his iconic “Mitt� sculpture at Safeco Field. The Japanese Language School, known as Nihongo Gakko, served as a community center and place of learning for Tacoma’s Japanese community from 1911 until it was closed in 1942, with the internment of people of Japanese descent during the Second World War. The school never reopened because many of its former students opted not to return to Tacoma. The former school on the 1700 block of Tacoma Avenue remained vacant for decades and was finally torn down 10 years ago out of concerns for public safety during the rise of the UWT campus around it and after an effort to save the building failed to prove feasible. University officials and community leaders then shifted to memorializing

From page A1

the school, an effort that was stalled by the economic downturn of last year but still managed to raise $160,000 for the project. The nine-foot sculpture near the site was designed to draw visitors and invites interaction and contemplation in the pocket garden designed by Kenichi Nakano with plaques inlaid into Cascade granite boulders telling the story of the school and its role in the community. Funding for the project came largely from private donations and support from the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation. “Maru,� or “Circle,� is now situated among a landscape of boulders and Japanese maple trees. The sculpture’s signature cut-out circle is wide enough for people to sit in, and is designed to be interactive as well as serve as a symbol of Japanese heritage. It looks much like the Japanese “red circle� flag, for example. One boulder plaque tells the story of the school’s principal, while another lists the donors who

made the memorial possible. Students of the school would attend public school and then attend classes on Japanese culture, language, art and philosophy between 4 and 6 p.m. every day and occasionally on Saturdays so they could stay connected to their Japanese heritage, which was at the heart of a thriving Japanese community in the southend of downtown Tacoma up until World War II. The school was operated by Sensei Masato Yamasaki and his wife Kinu, who inspired the students to behave with dignity in an environment fraught with discrimination. They taught lessons on Japanese heritage and culture while deeply promoting citizenship and civic engagement in the greater community. Unlike most other Japanese language schools on the West Coast, the Tacoma school, for example, was not sponsored by a Buddhist temple or a Christian church because the Yamasakis wanted the school to stand on its own as a center for all Japanese-American youth and the community as

SCHOOL. Japanese art and music was on display at the memorial dedication. a whole rather than just as an outreach for any particular group. “The children learned to be multicultural and bilingual before we even knew what that meant,� UTW Chancellor Kenyon Chen said. It was the school’s role as a community center that, ironically, led to its demise, since federal officials took over the school to register Japanese- American residents for their eventual forced internment during WWII. Masato Yamasaki was among the first to be arrested and was sent to a camp in New Mexico, where he died in 1943. Kinu Yamasaki survived camp life and returned to Tacoma only to

die in 1946. Though few students returned to Tacoma after the war, many alumni maintained contact with each other. Former students became physicians, dentists, nurses, engineers, attorneys, teachers, university professors and corporate managers. One became a federal judge. Another became a heart surgeon. Some former students served the country that imprisoned their families during World War II by volunteering to serve in the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team. The all-Japanese-American regiment remains the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Among the 14,000 soldiers who serve in its ranks,

the regiment tallied 18,143 awards including 9,486 Purple Hearts, 21 Medals of Honor and eight Presidential Unit Citations. In addition to the memorial, the University of Washington Tacoma has helped preserve the heritage of the Japanese Language School through academic research. Professors Lisa Hoffman and Mary Hanneman have recorded more than 40 oral histories of the former students of the school. “May this site be a place of meeting and a place of sharing our lives,� Chen said, noting the Japanese school’s role as a community center that now continues at the monument.

W Salmon Clarks Creek at that very moment. “The majority of the eggs that go into that stream won’t survive, but they will contribute to the next generation. They’ll contribute to the trout and cutthroat in the stream‌and to the plants in the riparian zone and all around,â€? he said. For the eggs that do hatch, the little fry swim up Clarks Creek to the Puyallup River then out to Commencement Bay looking for an estuary where salt marshes will provide nutrients for their long migration. “From there, they will head out to Puget Sound, where they will pass many urban areas...then out to the Salish Sea and either go through the inside passage or out the Strait of Juan Defuca for Alaska and the bounty of the ocean.â€? He explained that in 2017 and 2018 the salmon will swim back to Clarks Creek “where they will perish as they hand on to the next generation their bodies for nutrients and ourselves as well,â€? Jinkins told the crowd. Jinkins said that with their drive and tenacity, the salmon do their part for the next generation just as we on land are expected to do our part in this great cycle of life. “Our challenges are the complexity of issues – what the river is used for‌ There are land-use issues, irrigation, agriculture, flood control, hydroelectric power‌ These are the community discussions we have. We know the salmon will give their best effort for their next generation; the question is will we give ours? Events like today make me think that we’ll do our part as well and have a future together.â€? Puyallup tribal member Connie McCloud, the tribe’s culture coordinator and captain of the tribe’s Canoe Family, had the crowd’s fixed attention as

she talked about the First People’s relationship with the salmon going back for many thousands of years. “We have always lived here,� she said. “At one time the human beings and the, animal people could speak to one another. There was a time of great chaos, there was little food and the creator told the people to go to the forest and gather the skeletons of the trees and to gather the skeletons of the deer and from there came what’s called the Bone Game. It was a challenge between the human beings, the salmon, the deer, the plants and the berries. And whoever won that challenge would be the food for the people. This challenge lasted for days. The human beings won that challenge, but in winning that challenge they promised the salmon and the deer and the plants and the animals that they would always respect the natural laws of the land.� McCloud told of the tribe’s annual First Fish Ceremony held each spring, when the tribe acknowledges and honors that the fish gave their lives to feed the people for generations past and will continue to do so for generations to come. “Our fishermen go out early in the morning, and the very first salmon that’s

caught is set aside. We welcome the salmon with our songs, usually sung by our children. Our songs and our prayers welcome that first salmon that comes ashore. We greet it like it was a chief – a person of high standing – and is given great respect. That salmon is brought in to our community. Our fishermen fillet the fish, leaving the head, backbone and tail intact. The flesh of the salmon is cooked and everyone at the ceremony has a piece of that fish so that we will always understand and know and give respect to where our food comes from, and in particular to give respect to the salmon – this is one of our first foods, a very important food. “When our fishermen return the head, backbone and tail to the river, they place the fish as if it would go downstream, and that salmon will tell the story of the people – the celebrations, the sadness, the gatherings, the potlatches, the birthdays, the deaths – but it tells our story of the last year to the other spiritual villages of the salmon out to the Puyallup River, out to Commencement Bay, out to the Salish Sea to the Pacific Ocean so that our stories are told and never forgotten. Our community comes together to share a meal, to share in this feast so that we too would receive a part of the medicine that comes from our salmon.�

trict. “Since 1999, the Pierce County salmon recovery team has brought in almost $40 million in state and federal funds to improve salmon habitat,� McDonald said. “I do love salmon, but I also care about all the homes and businesses that are up and down the Puyallup River, and I want to make sure they are protected. So while we are protecting salmon and providing habitat for them to come and spawn, we’re also providing flood control and that’s a wonderful thing when we can partner with all of these people to get the job done.� Others who participated in the event included the

I

n keeping with the tradition of the previous “Out of My Element� articles, I tried to do only minimal research before attending the 2014 NPC NWCC Northern Classic Championships for bodybuilding, fitness, figure, physique, and bikini at the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts on October 11th. Since I am not what you would typically consider a gym enthusiast, however, I felt I needed at least a small amount of context to fully appreciate the event. The website was brief and geared more towards the contestants though, so I went in with little idea of what to expect outside of routines choreographed to music performed by muscular, spray tanned bodies. I would not be disappointed. When we passed a line in the lobby in front of the table giving away sample protein bars, followed by the empty space in front of the chocolate and candy for sale, I knew I was definitely very out of my element. The “Look Better Naked� sign in the center of the stage did little to make me feel at home; I am still living off my laurels of a month-long misguided attempt at joining a CrossFit gym nine months ago. But whatever trepidations I had were gone the instant the event started. The emcee, Tacoma native Kim “Kong� Farrison, entered after great pomp and circumstance, and lived up to his title as the “King of all Emcees� with his lively banter and eye-catching red suit. The event was sold-out for the first time, and the crowd was having a great time being supportive and cheering for the contestants, many of whom were participating in the competition for the first time. Winners of their divisions were presented with trophies or, even better, swords. Debbie Salzman performed the first routine of the night, and she had me totally hooked from the start. I had not known what to expect, but it was definitely not hand stands and push-ups thrown in with tap dancing to Broadway hits such as “All That Jazz� and “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.� It was nothing short of awesome. She went on to be the overall Women’s Fitness Champion. When the men started their routines, I thought there was no way they could

Wilson ran into a surprisingly stout and powerful football team in the Capital Cougars on Friday, Oct. 10 at Stadium Bowl and suffered a 34-21 defeat in 3A Narrows league action. The loss knocked the Rams out of a tie for first place and will make the road back to a repeat playoff appearance a little more difficult. The Rams (3-1 Narrows, 5-1 overall) came out strong against the Cougars (3-1, 4-2) following the opening kickoff. Starting from its own 20-yard line, Wilson put together a nine-play, 80-yard drive capped by a spinning quarterback sneak by senior signal-caller Julius Yates-Brown. Sophomore Alek Greenleaf punched the point-after kick through and the Rams took an early 7-0 lead with 8:34 remaining in the first quarter. On the next play from scrimmage, Capital’s Ryan Rieta fumbled the ball after a big hit from Wilson senior linebacker David Shin and the Rams took over at the Cougar 25-yard line. It would be a short-lived celebration though as the Rams gave the ball back on the next play when Yates-Brown was intercepted in the end zone by Capital’s Danny Leatherwood. The missed opportunity would come back to haunt the Rams. Capital responded with its own eight-play, 80-yard drive finished-off by a 19-yard touchdown pass from Cody Jenkins to Sean Morris. After a successful point-after kick, the score was tied-up at 7-7 with 4:04 remaining in the first quarter. Wilson was forced to punt on the next possession after a three-and-out and Capital took over at its own 18-yard line. The Cougars strung together seven-straight running plays capped by a seven-yard keeper by Jenkins up the middle and with 10:31 left in the half, the Cougars now led 13-7 following an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt. On the next possession, the Rams twice tried to make more out of a play than what was there and they were forced to punt again after losing four yards in the series. Capital would make the most of its field-position at the 50-yard line and five plays later running back Conner Kennedy punched the ball in from the two-yard line. Rieta added a twopoint conversion run and the Cougars led 21-7 with 6:49 remaining in the half. The Rams were able to move the ball out to their own 43-yard line on the next series, but two quarterback sacks of Yates-Brown forced Wilson to punt again. Wilson dialed-up the defensive pressure on the next possession and forced Capital to punt after three plays. The Cougars attempted a fake punt and the Rams

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS DOCUMENTARY TUGS AT THE HEARTSTRINGS

BELLARMINE REMAINS CLASS OF THE NARROWS WITH OLY BEATDOWN

By Justin Gimse

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

As we drove to the Grand Cinema in downtown Tacoma, it suddenly dawned on me that I should warn my wife about the movie we were about to see. I just remembered how squeamish and troubled she is with violent movies, and a documentary about mixed martial arts was probably going to be a little rough on her. I was wrong. While the movie “Glena� showed some of the brutality of women’s cage fighting, it was altogether much more about life’s struggles and the will to overcome. “Glena� is the brainchild of director Allan Luebke. He initially funded the film from a $5,000 Kickstarter campaign and was the sole camera operator for a year and a half. His subject was the 34-year-old Glena Avila of the Dalles, Ore. Avila is a single mother with a teenage boy and pre-teen daughter and a desire to do something else and make a new way for herself and her family. The film was screening during the night owl’s slot at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday night of the Tacoma Film Festival. A cozy little crowd was on hand for the film, which made it much easier to hear the laughs, gasps and murmurs during certain spots throughout the story. “Glena� jumps from the daily grind of Avila and her family as she attempts to balance time for her kids, training on her own, her regular job at a Veteran’s home and a three hour round trip commute to her gym for work with her trainer. At times it is almost exasperating watching one person try to cram so much into so very few hours. Just when you think maybe it’s time for Avila to slow down a bit, Luebke reminds the viewer of what it’s all about by introducing footage from her next mixed martial arts fight and each time it is absolutely riveting. The director does an excellent job of condensing a full fight into its most important moments, all the while raising the heart rate of the viewer. The bank is threatening to foreclose on her house, and her ex is taking her to court to gain custody

The Bellarmine Lady Lions volleyball team took another step toward capturing another 4A Narrows league title Tuesday, Oct. 14, as they made quick work of a quality Olympia club that ultimately was no match for the two-time defending state champions. Bellarmine rolled-up a three game sweep of the bears by scores of 25-8, 25-13 and 25-10. A league title is always a fantastic goal and achievement, but don’t be mistaken – the second-ranked Lady Lions are on a quest for a third state title and they have no problem letting that be known. When you’re the reigning champ, all teams are gunning for you. So far, Bellarmine (9-0 Narrows, 11-0 overall) has been nearly flawless and seems to be getting better as the season barrels toward the playoffs. The three games were a showcase of the almost point guard-like abilities of senior Natalie Jensen as she set-up her teammates for kill shots throughout the contest and dished-up point-after-point from the service

line. In the first game, Bellarmine traded points with the Bears (5-3, 6-4) as both teams worked to get into a flow of the game. At 3-3 the Lady Lions began asserting itself as freshman Hannah Pukis took over serve and ran the score to 7-3 after a couple of aces and two kills by her sister, senior Reghan Pukis. Soon, Bellarmine ran together another four-point run with sophomore Mckenzie Schwan holding serve and the lead grew to 12-4. The Bears put together a couple of points and then senior Madeline Lilley took over service with a 13-6 lead. Before she relinquished serve, the Lady Lions put together a seven-point run powered by three Lilley aces and strong net-play from Reghan Pukis and senior Claire Martin. At 21-7, Jensen took over serve and the net domination continued as the lead advanced to 24-7. A net violation gave the Bears a point, and then Reghan Pukis hammered down a spike that hit nothing but hardwood and the Lady Lions took game one.

As Avila advances through the amateur ranks of cage fighting, she is driven throughout the film to someday turn pro. The idea that people will sacrifice so much of their and their family’s lives for a contact sport that pays nothing, as an amateur is quite something to wrap your head around in this film. The film runs for a well-paced 84 minutes and builds up to an ending that I wasn’t expecting. I will save that detail for the next viewer, as I whole-heartedly give “Glena� my stamp of approval. At times it nearly brought a tear to my eye, as it did with my wife, Jolene. When you’ve won over a mixed martial arts fan and another person who is the complete opposite, you’ve crafted a well-made film. “Glena� appears on the Showtime network and debuted at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It has gone onto screenings at 11 more film festivals around the country and is expected to hit a few more before its run is over.

Pacific Lutheran scored touchdowns on each of its first five drives as the 21st-ranked Lutes coasted to a 44-7 Northwest Conference football victory over Lewis & Clark Saturday, Oct. 11 at Griswold Stadium. With the win, PLU improves to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play, while Lewis & Clark falls to 0-5 overall and 0-3 in the NWC. The Lutes will return to Oregon next weekend, when they will travel to Forest Grove to take on Pacific on Oct. 18 at 1 p.m. Dalton Ritchey completed 11 of his 12 pass attempts for 138 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 71 yards on five carries while playing only five drives for the Lutes. Jon Schaub threw for 87 yards and a touchdown as PLU passers combined to go 20-for-24 on pass attempts for 219 yards and five scores. Kyle Warner caught seven passes for 79 yards and three touchdowns, while Marc Gallant and Beau Lockmer each added scoring catches for PLU. Niko Madison rushed for a game-best 89 yards and a score on only seven carries. On defense, Cody Tupen finished with a pair of sacks and Blake Petersen picked off a pass in the win. The Lutes picked up 29 first downs and 513 yards of total offense, with 294 coming on the ground and 219 coming through the air. Meanwhile the PLU defense limited Lewis & Clark to 12 first downs and only 188 yards of total offense. Jake Constantino rushed for 56 yards and the Pioneer’s lone score of the day. PLU built a 35-0 lead midway through the second quarter before Lewis & Clark took advantage of a PLU fumble to score its lone touchdown of the day off a three-play, 32-yard drive. The Lutes followed with a touchdown in the third quarter and added their final points on a fourth-quarter safety when a Pioneer snap sailed over the L&C punter’s head and out the back of the end zone.

Senior quarterback Braden Foley became Puget Sound’s all-time leader in total offense, but the Logger football team lost to Pacific, 44-17, at Baker Stadium during Homecoming and Family Weekend on Saturday, Oct. 11. Foley entered Saturday’s contest just 36 yards shy of Andy Carlson’s career mark of 5,506 yards of total offense, and the Bothell native set the new Puget Sound record early in the first quarter. “I am thankful for the very talented receivers I’ve had around me, and the great offenses I’ve played with,� said Foley. “It feels good, I’m honored.� Foley has accumulated 5,690 yards of total offense during his Puget Sound career. The Loggers (2-2, 1-1 NWC) jumped out to a 17-0 lead, as the scoring started with a 36-yard field goal by Sawyer Petre late in the first quarter. Puget Sound marched down the field to open the second quarter as a 21-yard catch by Dustin Harrison coupled with a personal foul penalty by Pacific (2-2, 2-0 NWC) placed the ball on the Boxers’ sixyard line. Following a one-yard rush by Max McGuinn, Foley connected with Parker Brisebois for a five-yard touchdown that gave the Loggers a 10-0 lead. The Boxers were limited to just 13 yards in their ensuing possession, and Kevin Miller returned a Pacific punt 51 yards down to the Boxers’ 38-yard line. Puget Sound quickly took advantage of the short field. Completions to Harrison and Miller led to Foley’s 13-yard touchdown rush that gave the Loggers a 17-0 edge with 7:53 left in the first half. The Boxers were forced to punt yet again in its following possession, but the ball took a bad bounce and hit a Logger who was setting up a block for the return. Pacific recovered the special teams fumble on the Puget Sound 45-yard line, which eventually led to Shaw Warner’s 11-yard touchdown scamper to put the Boxers on the board, 17-7. Following a Logger punt, Pacific gained possession with just 20 seconds left until halftime, but it took just one play to reach the end zone as Warner found Darin Kamealoha for a touchdown. Puget Sound held on to a narrow 17-14 lead entering the break. Pacific claimed a 20-17 lead on Warner’s second rushing touchdown of the game midway through the third quarter (the kick after was no good), and the Boxers never looked back. In all, Pacific scored 44 unanswered points. Miller led the Loggers in receptions for the secondconsecutive week with 13 catches for 94 yards. Harrison finished with 95 receiving yards on five catches. The Loggers look to bounce back when they travel to George Fox on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Andrew White’s fourth goal of the season and a shutout defensive performance lifted the Puget Sound men’s soccer team past crosstown rival Pacific Lutheran 1-0 on Saturday, Oct. 11. Andrew White netted the only goal of the game by finishing a pass from Cameron Lorek late in the first half. That goal ended up being the game winner as the Loggers were able to shut down the Lutes and hold them to one shot on goal in the match. Goalkeeper Nathan King recorded the shutout win, his sixth of the season. “Tonight’s game went pretty much as I expected. Pacific Lutheran was very organized and well prepared for the match,� said Head Coach Reece Olney. “White scored a great goal right before halftime and our stingy defense did the rest and secured another shutout. It was a total team effort and a great result for our program.� To open the match Puget Sound (9-3-1, 6-1 NWC) kept Pacific Lutheran (6-7, 3-4 NWC) from taking a shot until the 17th minute. The Puget Sound defense allowed only three

shots in the half, only one of them on goal. After 42 scoreless minutes and eight shots by the Loggers, White found the back of the net. White gave Puget Sound the 1-0 lead as he scored on a pass from Lorek. In a hard-fought second half, Puget Sound was able to deny the Lutes a shot on goal. Sean Ryan and White nearly found the back of the net in the period but it was White’s first half goal that ended up being the difference. The Loggers outshot the Lutes (12-9) and had more corner kicks (11-4). White and Ryan led the Loggers in shots with three. Puget Sound looks to stay atop the Northwest Conference standings when it returns home to face Whitworth and Whitman on Saturday, Oct. 18 and Sunday Oct. 19. Both matches start at 2:30pm.

Pacific Lutheran wrapped the first half of the 2014 Northwest Conference women’s soccer season with its seventh consecutive victory as the Lutes defeated visiting Willamette 3-0 Sunday, Oct. 12. With its fifth consecutive shutout, PLU (9-2-1 overall, 7-1 NWC) now has the longest shutout streak since the 1991 Lutes also shut out five in a row en route to the NAIA National Championship. PLU’s seven-match win streak is now the longest since the 1992 team won 12 in a row. After assisting on PLU’s game-winner in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Linfield, Kelsey Hathaway scored the Lutes’ first goal of the day – the eventual game-winner – on Sunday. Hathaway took a pass from Hannah Bush about 18 yards out and dropped it across into the lower corner of the net to put PLU up 1-0 in the 23rd minute of play. The Lutes made it 2-0 in the 39th minute when Kelly White scored on a penalty kick. PLU’s final goal came in the 80th minute as Hathaway passed to Machaela Graddy about 10 yards in front of the goal and the freshman forward put it in for her third score of the season. Takara Mitsui earned her seventh shutout of the year, making a pair of saves for the Lutes. Emily Sewall made three saves while allowing the three goals for Willamette. The Lutes held a 14-12 shot advantage as the Bearcats fell to 2-9-1 overall and 1-6-1 in the NWC. PLU holds a three-point lead in the NWC standings ahead of cross-town rival UPS.

With a little help from Pacific and a goal from Cassie Winter, the Puget Sound women’s soccer team won 2-1 on Sunday, Oct. 12. In the first half the Loggers benefited from Pacific’s own goal. Scoring the would-be game winner was Winter. She netted her second goal of the year in the second half as she finished on a cross from Annie Jonsson about 10 yards out. Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas made three saves in the match. Pacific (5-6-1, 2-5-1 NWC) started the game with five shots before scoring an own goal for Puget Sound (8-3, 6-2 NWC) in the 19th minute. Winter had a shot in the half that was wide. Just before halftime, Madeline Christ took a shot that was saved by the Boxer goalkeeper. Thomas made two saves in the period. The Loggers headed into halftime with the 1-0 lead. To start the second half, Robin Vieira took shots wide and high of the net. In the 55th minute, Winter scored on a cross from Jonsson to give the Loggers a 2-0 lead. The strong Logger defense continued the period by denying Pacific of a goal until the final minute of the game. The Boxers scored in the 89th minute but their comeback attempt was too late as the Loggers won the game 2-1. The Boxers outshot the Loggers (9-5) and had more corner kicks (3-0). The Loggers remain in second place in the NWC conference. Puget Sound returns home for two rematches against Whitworth and Whitman on Oct. 18 and Oct. 19. Both matches begin at 12 p.m.

division, which she added to her collection from winning the Master’s Figure championship earlier in the evening. There was a wide variety of physiques among the contestants, which I hadn’t expected. And the rear lat spreads were insane. I didn’t know the human back had that many muscles. Michael Spencer made an appearance as a guest poser and I had no idea that quadriceps could get that large. I enjoyed it when the huge, burly men would break into a big grin during one of their poses. They went from being a slightly terrifying mountain of a man to the friendly, if still intimidating, guy next door. Another of my favorite elements of the evening was the competitors’ attire.

sniffed it out and got the ball back at the Cougar 41-yard line. After a 10-yard run by senior running back Zavia Frazier it looked like Wilson was going to get back in the ballgame. On the next play, Yates-Brown scrambled for a dazzling 31-yard touchdown run that whipped the Ram faithful into a frenzy. However, there were yellow flags back near the line of scrimmage and the touchdown was wiped away by a holding penalty. Wilson was unable to rebound and ended-up turning the ball over on downs after falling one yard short of a first down shortly before the half ended. Capital received the opening kickoff and brought the ball out to its own 39-yard line. After crossing mid-field, the Rams defense firmed-up and forced the Cougars to punt. The ball was downed at the six-yard line and the Rams were unable to respond with any yardage in three plays. Greenleaf’s punt pushed Capital back to the Wilson 43-yard line and trouble was in the air. On the second play of the possession, Capital’s Kennedy busted through the left side of the line, weaved back to the right side of the field and dove into the end zone with Wilson defenders draped across his back. After the 40-yard touchdown and point-after kick, the Cougars now led 28-7 with 6:05 remaining in the third quarter. Wilson struck fool’s gold and then pay dirt on their next possession as Yates-Brown changed direction in the backfield and bolted up the sideline for a 68-yard touchdown run that was called back for a block in the back. The penalty backed the Rams up to their own 43-yard line and then they went to work. Capitalizing on a 32-yard pass from Yates-Brown to senior receiver Keun Thompson, the Rams worked the ball down to the Capital four-yard line. Yates-Brown went with another keeper and dove toward the end zone, just getting the ball across the goal line for

The men were not to be outdone, though, and there were a fair amount of sequined Speedos to be seen. I’m pretty sure one of them was red velvet. The most inspiring story of the evening was that of Lyn O’Neal, who as a cancer survivor had watched in the audience the previous year and lost 150 pounds to compete this year. At the age of 57! The amount of focus and dedication these men and women expend on reaching that level of fitness is commendable. I only exhibit such focus when trying to cram multiple seasons of “Dr. Who� into a single weekend. Overall, it was an entertaining evening of seriously impressive physical physiques, the likes of which I shall sadly never attain. I will have to consider giving CrossFit another chance.

a Wilson touchdown. Capital’s lead was now 28-14 with 23-seconds remaining in the third quarter. The Rams stuffed the Cougars on the next possession and took following a huge punt and roll by Capital, took over at their own five-yard line. It was Yates-Brown and Frazier all the way down the field as the Rams put together a seven-play, 95-yard touchdown drive capped by a tenyard camper by Frazier. Capital’s lead was down to 28-21 with 8:22 left in the game. Capital ran off over four minutes of the clock on its next possession and put together a 58-yard scoring drive finished-off by a five-yard Kennedy touchdown run. The Cougars faked the point-after kick but Jenkins was gobbled up by senior Billy Greer and Shin for the stop. Capital now led 34-21 with 4:08 remaining in the game. Frazier returned the Capital kickoff 56 yards to the Capital 43-yard line. Wilson was threatening to tighten-up the game. On the first play from scrimmage, Yates-Brown lofted a deep pass to the end zone that was intercepted by Capital’s Carson Bertelli. Capital took over at its own 20-yard line and successfully ran out the clock to end the end the game. Wilson visits the Foss Falcons (2-2, 2-4) at Mt. Tahoma Stadium on Friday, Oct. 17.

W Volleyball put up a stronger fight closing to within 10-8 in the early goings. Sophomore Claire McCarthy took over serve at 11-8 and built it up to 15-8 before giving it back to Olympia. The sequence was highlighted by a fantastic dig by Hannah Pukis, which then turned into a perfect set from Jensen and finished by a massive kill shot from Reghan Pukis. Bellarmine outscored Olympia 10-5 to end game two as Hannah Pukis delivered a spike that careened off a Bear and went into the stands. It was clear that the Lady Lions were in complete control of the match and were suffering the few points from the Bears off of many of their own miscues – and there weren’t that many. Game three was all Bellarmine early as they jumped out to a 6-2 lead, which included four textbook sets from Jensen.

From page A11

The Bears showed some grit and closed to within 9-6, but as the previous games showed, they were unable to make any sort of run and string a series of points together. At 10-6, Schwan took over service and Olympia repeatedly had difficulty getting her serves back over the net. The ninepoint run pushed the Lady Lion lead to 19-6. Olympia bounced back with its first three-point run of the night pushing the score to 19-9 before another Reghan Pukis kill put the serve back to Bellarmine. At game point, Jensen fed Reghan Pukis with another perfect set and the senior slammed the ball to the gymnasium floor on the Bears’ side of the net and the match was over. Bellarmine returns home for Senior Night against Stadium on Thursday, Oct. 23. First serve is at 4:45 p.m.

The mind of Maltin By Ernest A. Jasmin

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

T

he Tacoma Film Festival went big in its ninth year. Not only did the Grand Cinema’s signature event feature higher profile films this month – edgy flicks starring the likes of Kirsten Dunst, Sam Rockwell and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman – but organizers also scored a major coup by landing high-profile speaker Leonard Maltin, among the most popular film critics and historians in America. Maltin – best known for reviewing films for “Entertainment Tonight” and his “Leonard Maltin Movie Guide” – made a couple of appearances at the festival on Oct. 10 and 11; and, in between, he met with the Tacoma Weekly in the lobby of Hotel Murano to talk about being a smarter viewer, the toll blogging has taken on his craft and why you should quit paying for 3D. Here’s some of what he had to say. TACOMA WEEKLY: What is the first film you remember seeing? MALTIN: The first film I have a memory of seeing is Walt Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,” when it was reissued in the ‘50s. And, in those days ... you could stay and watch a movie four times. They wouldn’t kick you out. The reason I bring that up is that what I remember is my mother taking me by the hand into the theater as everybody was leaving. So what I saw was … the last shot as Snow White and the Prince go off into the golden sun for their happy ending. That image is burned permanently into my memory and my psyche. TW: How old were you? MALTIN: Either 4 or 5. TW: In contrast, what are the films you most wish you could forget? MALTIN: Fortunately, I’m forgetting them. (He laughs.) I’m at an age now where they’re starting to drop out of the memory banks. TW: You got started at a young age, and I’m curious what you think you would be doing if the whole critic/film historian thing didn’t work out. MALTIN: I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was very young – not an animator, but a cartoonist. I even submitted cartoons to several magazines and got rejection slips. But then I wrote to some of my heroes, and I got the most phenomenal, personal letter from Charles M. Schultz in which he was very encouraging and enclosed a signed, original “Peanuts” daily. TW: That’s pretty cool. MALTIN: Then, about 30 years later, I got hired to interview him. ... I told him that story. He jumped out of his seat and said, “Well, we gotta get something newer.” He went and found a Sunday original page and signed it to me and my wife, only this time he signed it “Sparky,” which was his nickname. TW: Is that still hanging in your living room? MALTIN: You bet, both of them – the old one and the newer one. TW: What advice would you give someone who is 14, 15 – like you were when you were first starting out – if they want to break into the business? MALTIN: I’m glad I’m not trying to break in today. I don’t know how you make a reputation today, how you make yourself heard

or noticed amid the clutter. Everything has changed. (Long pause.) What can you say to someone except, “If this is your passion, then you have to follow it?” And, of course, one still harbors hope that if you’re good somebody will notice. But there’s an awful lot of people out there writing, blogging and posting. It’s a very crowded landscape, and very few outlets are paying any money. TW: I guess in pop culture when you were coming up there was a bit of a serendipitous moment, whether you were an aspiring rock star or … MALTIN: I guess, whether it was making your own garage tapes or publishing your own magazine, as I did. But the low-tech environment, in some ways, gave more opportunity – this seems counter-intuitive – to people who were ambitious and determined, because they stood out more. Now everybody’s just another blogger or just another YouTube wanna-be. TW: What’s the No. 1 thing you want to instill in your students at USC? MALTIN: I want to make them a smarter audience, a more demanding audience. I don’t think Hollywood respects young moviegoers. There’s some cause for that, if they’re gonna go see movies like the new “Transformers” or the new “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” But then moviegoers don’t get a choice, do they? I have a big class – 360 students – and only about a quarter of them are aspiring filmmakers or film critics or writers. We draw from the whole campus, so I have water polo players, English majors and business majors and everything else. … I’ve shown them foreign language films, with subtitles, and documentaries on subjects they’ve never thought about before, microindie features with no recognizable actors; and, if they’re good, they’ve responded. It says to me that they’re underestimated as an audience. TW: Along those lines, what are the most insufferable cliches you see in modern cinema? MALTIN: Well, “sequel-itis” is very discouraging; and yet, this summer, the only films that did big business, apparently, were sequels. A good movie, like “Edge of Tomorrow” with Tom Cruise, got great reviews and did only modest business. So what message does that send to the studio chiefs? People want something they already know. People want more of the same. That’s dispiriting. And yet, you can’t have a sequel if you haven’t had an original. A sequel to what? Someone had to bank on that first movie before it became a series. TW: How do you feel about the whole 3D craze? MALTIN: Well, the 3D craze is over. It’s only because they love it in China that they’re still doing it, and because they can bilk people out of an extra three bucks at the box office. TW: I’ve seen a few lately where I’ve thought, “Why did I spend that extra five bucks?” MALTIN: Well, duh. I mean, I’ll be curious to see what James Cameron does with the next “Avatar.” He’s a visionary – a technological visionary, to be sure. And when you see a film like “Life of Pi” in 3D you say, “OK, this is why 3D exists, for someone to make this kind of film” - or “Hugo.” But those are a tiny minority. A lot of the

studios aren’t even bothering any more. TW: If we can veer back toward the impact of the Internet. Of course, nowadays versus 20 years ago, you can go to IMDB and any number of sources to find out anything you want to find out about a movie. Give me your best sales pitch for using a guide, like the one you’ve become known for (“Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide.”) MALTIN: Well, I’m highly prejudiced, so it’s hard to do that. I mean, I use IMDB, like everybody else. But it frustrates me because they don’t give you the cast in billing order. So if you (can’t find) a quick answer to “who plays the best friend in that comedy I saw last week?” When “Nebraska” came out last year … who really knew June Squibb before that movie, right? Yet, she’s been working for decades. So what we did was we went back and added her name to the cast lists of films she’d been in. She was in Martin Scorsese’s “The Age of Innocence,” 21 years ago. Now, if you were having this conversation two years ago, that wouldn’t matter. It matters now. It’s a point of interest. But if you go to an online source, you’d never look for her name, and it would be way down among other supporting players. We point out that she’s in it: curated information, edited information, user-friendly information. That’s what we’ve always tried to provide. And our readers have been loyal and supportive and encouraging. They’ve just diminished in number. TW: Until earlier this year you had the app. MALTIN: I wish I still had the app. It was not my decision (to discontinue it.) The sales weren’t strong enough to support it. People, again, didn’t want to pay. People want to get all the information for free. They want it on their device, and they want

it for free. Sometimes you have to remind people that you get what you pay for. TW: You get to see a lot of great films, but you also have to watch a lot of terrible ones, and you’re familiar with all the formulas and cliches. What is it that keeps you excited about film? MALTIN: A fresh idea, a new face, a new voice. I loved “Boyhood.” I loved “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” I really enjoyed “St. Vincent,” which opened yesterday, and “Whiplash,” which opened yesterday in New York and L.A. I see films like that, and it recharges my batteries and gives me a moment of optimism. TW: Well, since Halloween is coming up, what are your three go-to – or maybe underrated – horror films? MALTIN: Well, I’m not a fan of modern horror. I like spooky, eerie films – ghost stories, the supernatural – more than graphic gore. I’m a wimp, so I couldn’t see the “Saw” movies. It’s just not my thing. But when I see a film like “28 Days Later” – which is not just a mindless zombie movie, it’s about a plague – it scares the daylights out of me. TW: I see you like the new “Dead Snow,” though I think you wrote you hadn’t seen the original - which is hilarious, by the way. MALTIN: Normally, a film with tearing out somebody’s intestines would just send me running in the other direction. But it’s hilarious; and I do like the combination of humor and horror separate from that, going back to “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein,” right up to “Young Frankenstein,” “Shawn of the Dead” – films like that. I’ve always enjoyed that mixture. I still like the gothic horror films that I grew up watching on TV. “Frankenstein,” “Dracula,” “Bride of Frankenstein,” “The Wolfman” - those are still favorites of mine.

Centerstage explores the good, the bad of sex with ‘My First Time’

SEX. “My First Time” features (left) Hannah Ruwe and Joe Cummings alongside Joshua Williamson alongside (right) as well as Leah Salcido Pfenning. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Whether “the event” is planned or spontaneous, pleasant or horrible, the moment people lose their virginity contains a memorable story. Here are some of those stories. Centerstage’s season opener is a well-crafted collection of “losing one’s virginity” stories collected from a website, MyFirstTime.com, that has operated since 1998 and contains thousands of stories from around the world. Some stories presented in this off-Broadway hit are sweet and loving, others are violent and horrific. Others are hilariously filled with awkward bouts with surging hor-

mones, while others are flooded with reason and senses of purpose. They are all, ultimately, stories about the myriad worlds of humanity found on this dustball floating in space. Ken Davenport, author of “Altar Boyz” culled through the more than 100,000 “first time” stories to craft a single play that spans the spectrum of sexuality so that every audience member could both relate to the show and be challenged by it. At the root of the show’s genius is its seeming simplicity. Actors are given stories written by others and asked to perform them. There are no character profiles or background or plots or unifying settings actors could draw from to craft their per-

formances. They simply had to bring the words to life however they saw fit. One attempt might mean a Southern accent, while another draws straight from the mouth of a Jersey girl. Anna Kasabyan, making her directorial debut, clearly let the actors “explore through failure” in finding just the right character for otherwise lifeless words in a script. Hannah Ruwe, Joe Cummings, Joshua Williamson and Leah Pfenning obviously had fun along the theatrical journey. Their chemistry, both with their own monologue and each other, was brilliantly evident. Their parade of monologues stitched together with quickly timed word play and casually natural asides created a whole

rather than a collection of parts that didn’t require extensive scene shifts or wardrobe changes. The play rolls on through the minds of the audience members, who often seem more like friends gathered around a table to share “first time” stories over a bottle of wine than theatergoers watching a performance. Because of its content matter, “My First Time” is recommended for mature audiences only. The play runs at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through Oct. 26 at Centerstage, 3200 S.W. Dash Point Rd. in Federal Way.

Job Carr Cabin Museum celebrates sesquicentennial

Later this month, Old Town’s Job Carr Cabin Museum will celebrate the 150th anniversary of their namesake laying the foundation for what would become Tacoma. Job Carr was the first permanent, nonNative homesteader to settle in the area, and the museum will commemorate the historic event with its “Eureka!” breakfast fundraiser, with registration starting at 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 23 at the University of Washington-Tacoma’s William W. Philip Hall, 1918 Pacific Ave. A few pioneers preceded Carr in the 1850s, Museum Director Mary Bowlby explained. Sawmill owner Nicholas Delin and others staked claims along what would become Tacoma’s Tideflats; but that was during the Puget Sound War, a conflict that pitted local militias against the Puyallup, Muckleshoot and Klickitat Indians, tribes vexed by the influx of settlers encroaching on their lands following the creation of Washington Territory in 1853. Early white settlers soon departed for the safety of nearby Fort Steilacoom; but Carr benefited from better timing and, per-

haps, stronger motivation to stick around. fishing trip with friends, on Christmas “Job was a Civil War veteran who was Day 1864, Carr spotted what he thought injured in the Battle of Shiloh,” Bowlby was the perfect spot, a low-bank watersaid. “While he was recovering, he read front area. “They go over to Gig Harbor in the newspaand come back,” per…that PresiBowlby said. “They dent Lincoln had come along the signed legislation shoreline – oppoestablishing a site what is now land grant for the Old Town, Tacoma Northern Pacific – and he sees someRailway to build thing about this a transcontinenland that excites tal line across the them.

Carr would go on to become Tacoma’s first mayor and postmaster, but he wasn’t able to cash in on the Northern Pacific’s expansion. The railroad instead acquired waterfront property that had yet to be reclaimed, since earlier settlers vacated it in the 1850s. Among speakers at the Eureka breakfast on Oct. 23 will be historian Michael Sullivan, who teaches Tacoma history at University of Washington-Tacoma, and “living history” actor Karen Haas. Admission to the breakfast is by donation. Organizers are asking for $250 to purchase a table for 10, with proceeds benefiting the museum’s ongoing efforts to provide locals hands-on local history lessons. “The idea is, when you walk into the cabin, you feel drawn into the experience of a time that was much different than ours in some ways,” Bowlby said, “but the people weren’t that different. They enjoyed recreation when they could. They were hard-working individuals. It just gives you a feeling of actually stepping into the real place.” Learn more at www.jobcarrmuseum.org.

CHINA DAVIS’ ‘ARCTIC DAYS’ By Glen Casebeer Special to Tacoma Weekly

The latest album from China Davis, “Arctic Days,� starts off with a somber and relaxing melody layered with alternating acoustic and electric guitars giving ample room for vocalist Ben Fuller to do his thing. It’s an epic tune called “Anjilla� that’s well arranged, and clearly a lot of work was put into it to get it just right. The song speaks of the waves, shoreline and maybe a little bit of the sailor’s life. This song charts the path for the rest of album and it was my personal favorite, with the title track coming in a close second. Song number three, “Beautiful Girl� is reminiscent of early U2, with Fuller’s voice taking center stage with the instrumentation complementing the heart-felt lyrics written about Fuller’s daughter. All through the CD, the instruments seem to never get in the way or over power his voice, as he tells story after story in these songs. This collection of tunes has a theme that comes up time and again, and that is the water. Whether it is the open sea, a lake or a river, Fuller has poetically woven that common thread into the fabric of the songs. He sings these with an almost urgency to get these words out of himself and out into the universe. China Davis was formed by brothers Ben and Ted Fuller in Gig Harbor, and their music has

that sort of small town fishing village honesty about it. “Arctic Days� is not an album full of frills or tricks but rather it’s a truthful artistic expression of a few musicians that do this because they probably need to. The album shows some slight similarities to their 2007 release, “Shadowdancing,� which had a song called “The Lark� that I still love to this day. This album is, however, a bit more subdued, and songs like the fifth track “In The Way,� powered by a lovely piano melody and great backing vocals, sounds like something Bruce Springsteen could have come up with in his earlier days. Parts of the album were recorded at Urban Grace Church in Tacoma and The Arctic Garage in Seattle with the aforementioned Ben Fuller on vocals, guitar and the piano while his brother, Ted, contributes the tasty

lead guitar throughout. Eric Balcom did the bulk of the bass tracks, and Andrew Stockton turned in a fine job on the drums. China Davis is a unique band with a distinct yet familiar sound that follows no tired and worn out formula. The album doesn’t feel as if they were out to reinvent the wheel; they just made the music that comes natural to them. The final tune on “Arctic Days� is a guitar ballad that once again showcases Ben Fuller’s steady voice, a theme that is consistent throughout the album, as he seems to call to and conjure up an angel from out at sea. The collection of songs is an introspective musical journey for the band that leaves nothing to be desired and the record is definitely worth a listen. “Arctic Days� can be found online at bandcamp.com.

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) You may feel like the world is weighing on your shoulders during this week’s new moon and partial solar eclipse. Conserve your energy and try not to get too stressed out over every detail. Do what you can to maintain the peace until you are feeling more up to the challenge.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) An old friend may contact you that may lead to a business venture or other relationship. Make sure all details are laid out in writing. Listen to your intuition if something doesn’t feel right. Lingering money issues should begin to stabilize.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) The new moon and solar eclipse on the 23rd will hit you and your loved ones very powerfully. Emotions will flow as you let go of old thoughts, habits and patterns that no longer serve you. This is an important step that may be challenging at times. Take time outs to calm yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) People may have different versions of the truth. Sometimes they may think it is for the “greater good.” Listen to your intuitions if you are hearing something that does not make sense. This week’s new moon will aid in your quest for uncovering the truth in all aspects of your life.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Some say we are nothing without our health. This week’s new moon urges you to seek out the best wellness solutions and protection for you and your loved ones. It’s easy to take things for granted and to avoid daily chores. Now is not the time for procrastination but for action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Privileges that are earned rather than given hold a greater respect. Have you been taking advantage of a situation to better serve yourself rather than the group? Remember the saying that there is no “I” in TEAM. All pieces are necessary to complete the puzzle. Embrace challenges.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Too much may be on your plate draining some of your usual endless supply of energy. The new moon on the 23rd will be a powerful one causing you to question your priorities. A game of give and take will be played with all being victorious. Enjoy a fun time with your partner this weekend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) You may have lost something very important to you. It may come back in time. Keep your faith that everything happens for the greater good. Wounds heal with time. Express your feelings or secrets with your most trusted friend or loved one. Tomorrow is another day.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Your home and family life may be rocky during this week’s new moon and partial solar eclipse. Old wounds may be re-opened leading to arguments. You may be asked to mediate between family members. Good may come of this if everyone is willing to forgive and compromise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) This week’s new moon and partial solar eclipse highlight your creativity sector. You may experience vivid dreams and visions that may give important ideas. Expanding your avenues of exposure at the workplace or business can be beneficial and ultimately increase income.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Listen to the subtle hints of those around you. What are they trying to tell you? The new moon highlights your social sector ensuring good times and lots of opportunities to meet new and exciting contacts. Dress to impress and look your best. Remember to listen more than you speak.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Everyone has an opinion and a right to voice it. Your mission is to understand the balance between expressing points of view and when to keep opinions private. Think things through before you risk seriously hurting someone else’s feelings or ruin a relationship. It’s all in the effort.
