POTHOLE PIG HAS JOB SECURITY, CITY STREET CREWS DON’T By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The Tacoma Weekly’s famed Perceval the Pothole Pig might have to outsource some of its work to other members of its drift in the coming years. The demand for spotlighting potholes around

Tacoma will certainly outpace the workload of a single swine. “It has taken a lot of time to get this bad; it’s not going to get fixed all at once,” Public Works Director Dick McKinley said. “The key for us is to just do what we can.” Tacoma’s Public Works spending will be cut

POTHOLE PIG NOW HAS A NAME

That Tacoma Weekly’s famed Pothole Pig now has a name, Perceval. Perceval is one of King Arthur’s legendary Knights of the Round Table. Perceval is the earliest recorded account of what has gone down in legend as the “Quest for the Holy Grail,” a mythical chalice used by Jesus during Last Supper that is believed to have special powers. Our Perceval Pig, however, is on an endless quest for the “perfect pothole” and runs into many along his adventures through Tacoma.

by 45 percent under the proposed budget plan for 2013-14, from $231 million under the current budget to about $104 million. The cuts translate to the loss of about 80 positions from the department that once had a payroll of some 250 people. About 71 of those job losses will come in the Public Works division, which is tasked with maintaining streets, and from an across-the-board cut of every city department to cover Tacoma’s projected $63 million shortfall as well as a “structural deficit” of another $16 million in the street repair fund that had been created through the use of onetime funds for ongoing work under former city X See POTHOLES / page A2

‘STANDING ON THE

SHOULDERS OF GIANTS’ PCAF commemorates 25 years by honoring its founders By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

Dec. 1 is World AIDS Day, an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS, to show their support for people living with HIV/AIDS and to remember those who have succumbed to the disease. Here in Tacoma, it will be a special day in that Pierce County AIDS Foundation (PCAF) will commemorate its 25th year of service to people with HIV/AIDS with an event at Tacoma Art Museum to which the public is invited. “PCAF: 25 Years of Service” will include museum admission and gallery tours, refreshments, an observation of World AIDS Day, opportunities to learn more about PCAF’s current client services and prevention programs, performances by Oasis Youth Center, and an awards presentation with State Senator Elect Jeannie Darneille as guest of honor. State Representative Laurie Jinkins and former Tacoma Mayor Bill Baarsma will present Darneille with the first-ever PCAF Achievement Award for her pioneering work as PCAF executive director from its beginnings in 1989 to her departure from the Foundation in 2007. “You can’t have a 25th anniversary event without honoring the leader for 18 of those 25 years,” said PCAF Executive Director Duane Wilkerson. “Her years of dedication and hard work is something I’m aware of every day in this job. She set a high bar that I strive to maintain, so I’m very pleased to have followed in those footsteps. “There’s that old cliché about standing on the X See PCAF / page A8

Wes Wesley has, for a decade, inspired and managed Tacoma’s biggest holiday sock drive. The security chief at Hospitality Kitchen at 1323 S. Yakima Ave., Wesley knows who is spending days, and sometimes nights, out in the weather. He sees who is limping, hears who is coughing. He is among the first to know when one of the Kitchen’s regulars lands in the hospital with pneumonia, or with feet damaged by cold and damp. He knows who has died, and who has had a foot amputated for lack of a good pair of socks. Wesley has a mantra: “Socks are like gold.” They are gold for the recipient, and for the giver. Let him explain: “The people who need socks are the people who walk the streets with the backpack on. It’s desperately cold outside. You want to reach out to that person, but you don’t know what to give him, and you set your mind to wonder. “It’s as simple as a pair of socks. His feet will be warm. He will be better. He will be comfortable. People like to give if it is unobtrusive and they can just do it. It’s just something to grab and give it out.” Tacomans have made that kind of giving a tradition with the sock drive.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

1938

 â€¨â€ŠGgUuLlFf-MmIiLlLlEeRr

 â€¨â€Š#12 By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

76th and L 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 road riddled with holiness, and is continuing those efforts well in to 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 Indianapolis Speedway museum loaned six racers to LeMay: America’s Car Museum for the Tacoma car museum’s grand unveiling this summer. One of those gems among gems was the rear-engine 1938 Gulf Miller, the last car designed by the legendary Harry Miller. Following the first appearance by a rear-engine car at Indianapolis in 1937, the Gulf Oil Co. commissioned Miller to build three cars to include the latest innovations. And he delivered. His cars not only looked futuristic, they were generations beyond other cars of the day. The racers featured four-wheel drive and a six-cylinder supercharged Miller engine that was tilted at an angle. Delivered too late for the 1938 season, the cars took to the track the following year. Only driver George Bailey managed to qualify in sixth place, making it the first rear-engine

W Potholes manager Eric Anderson. Had the internal street deficit been rolled into the city’s total general fund budget shortfall, the across-the-board cuts would have been closer to 18 percent. The proposed streets fund budget totals $47.6 million of which about $18 million will come from the general fund. That level of spending is about $30 million less than current levels of street work spending that is already falling well behind the need. “We really are one of the worst in Washington,� McKinley said. Roads are graded on a scale of one-to-100 points, with 100 being the top tier of a brand new roadway. The municipal average in Washington is a rating of about 70. Tacoma’s stock of roadway has a collective rating of 42, falling into the poor-tofair range. Roads have been getting worse in the City of Destiny for more than a generation. “There are roads that we just don’t patch because there really isn’t much of the pavement left,� McKinley said. The decaying streets around Tacoma are well known to drivers, and they might just become legendary. City estimates figure Tacoma streets need $800 million in repairs that don’t include sidewalk and utility repair needs. Crews have spent close to $4 million a year in recent years on roadwork. Crews had been chip sealing about 125 blocks of street, but that will do just 80 blocks under the budget proposal. The 67,000 potholes repaired in just the last year will drop to about 3,000 as the city shifts strategies. Even those holes will largely

car ever in the Indy 500 race-day lineup. But the day would not end well. The car dropped out after 47 laps due to engine troubles. Originally intended to run on pumped gasoline, the car featured side-mounted pontoon tanks, which

proved to be very dangerous and prone to fires. Bailey would later die when his car’s side-mounted fuel tanks caught fire following a crash the following year. The tanks were refitted into the main frame of the car in 1941.

be repaired only after citizen complaints rather than proactive patching. Instead of continuing the practice of coldpatching potholes found on Tacoma’s network of 800 lane miles of arterial road within five days of being reported, McKinley wants to hot patch them instead as a way to avoid return visits. “Cold patching is very frustrating because it is very expensive as well as it doesn’t often work,� he said. The rub is that hot patching might fix the holes but can only be done in warm and dry weather. That means potholes created in the fall and winter would have to wait until the spring to be fixed. It also means a community relations blitz to get drivers to steer well clear of potholes so that the potholes don’t get worse before crews can get to them. And there will be fewer city workers patching what potholes nature creates under the proposed cuts. The Public Works Department currently has 10 street maintenance crew leaders, 25 street maintenance workers, seven street equipment operators and three heavy equipment operators. The proposed budget will strip that down to four street maintenance crew leaders, 13 street maintenance workers, five street equipment operators and one heavy equipment operator. So more potholes are likely as the department shifts tactics as well as cuts crews. Anyone thinking about cashing in on the rise of potholes by filing claims against the city under RCW 4.96 has a tough road ahead on that journey. The math just doesn’t work out. City records show that during the last five years, almost 700 people filed claims against the city for damage to their vehicles or personal injuries linked to allegations of poor road conditions. Of the $2.8 million in road-related claims by 696 people filed against the city during that time, Tacoma has only paid out $102,264.81, according to records. That’s only 3.6 percent of the total claims filed. Drivers who damage their car’s tires, rims or alignment by hitting a pothole can file claims against the city for the cost of the repairs since the city has a legal obligation to repair the streets. Claimants, however, bear the burden of proof that the city is at fault for the damages.

76;/63,: Street repair workers like Robert

Johnson have been working in sectors of Tacoma to proactively fix potholes they spot along their drives. They will shift to response-only calls under the proposed budget since the department will be about half the size it is now.

That means that the person filing the claim has to prove the city knew about the pothole and did nothing to fix it. The “prior knowledge� policy means the first few drivers to damage their cars after hitting a pothole might be out of luck when it comes to claims for damages against the city since crews might not have known about the pothole. Only after crews are alerted of the pothole does the liability come into play, and only after an investigation into each claim since it involves taxpayer dollars. “We take that responsibility very seriously,� Tacoma’s claims manager Jean Homan said. Even if there is a legitimate claim, many factors go into the amount drivers actually receive for the damage. The age and wear of the tires, the age of the car and rims lower the amount. Payouts for damage to expensive sport or

performance rims don’t factor much into the final check amount because the owner assumes more risk of damage by installing after-market rims. “All of those factors are calculated into it as well,� Homan said. Awful road conditions cost U.S. motorists $67 billion per year in additional repairs and operating costs – an average of $335 per motorist nationally according to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. The group’s report, “Rough Roads Ahead: Fix Them Now or Pay for It Later� also states that a third of the nation’s highways – interstates, freeways and major roads – are in poor or fair condition. It also states that every $1 spent in keeping a road in good condition saves $6 to $14 that would be required to rebuild the road that has deteriorated beyond repair.

Head Start families joined Leslie Meisner, director of Head Start and Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program, on Nov. 15 at the Lakewood Burlington Coat Factory to accept 400 new winter coats from One Warm Coat, a national non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a warm coat to those who need one. One Warm Coat and the Burlington Coat Factory, a national off-price retailer, partnered with the national Head Start Association to provide 400 local children in the Head Start program with a new winter coat. “We have more than 400 students enrolled in our Head Start program,� Meisner said. “So we will give coats to those who need them the most.� With cold weather settling in, the coat donation could not come at a better time. Children enrolled in Head Start and their siblings in the selected families will receive a coat. The local event is part of One Warm Coat’s national donation of 15,000 new children’s coats to families associated with the national Head Start Association. The new coat donation was made possible by funds raised during last year’s Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Coat Drive, a national program in its sixth year, and corporate partners including Zynga, developers of Angry Birds and Words With Friends. With the funds from Warm Coats and Warm Hearts Coat Drive, One Warm Coat purchased the 15,000 new children’s coats and is giving them away in select cities across the country with help of the Burlington Coat Factory. Burlington accepts the coat shipments from the manufacturers and holds them until the coat giveaway dates.

A retired Machinists Union member from Puyallup has been honored by Tacoma Rescue Mission as one of its Volunteers of the Year. Vennie Murphy was presented with the award at a Rescue Mission luncheon in Puyallup on Nov. 2. Mission CEO David Curry praised Murphy, who has volunteered in the mission’s Tacoma kitchen since the 1990s, and presented him with a plaque honoring his service. “I do not know of anybody who has had as much faithfulness about serving and has been so influential in bringing in other people to serve,� Curry said. Curry said Murphy has forged a strong link between the mission and the Machinists Volunteer Program, which is the community service arm of Machinists Union District Lodge 751 in Seattle. “Vennie has invited us to be part of their organization, and they are part of ours,� Curry added. “We need lots of Vennies.� Volunteers from the union now prepare and serve breakfast to the mission’s homeless clients two weekends each month, and they periodically throw Sunday dinners there as well. The mission serves about 1,000 meals a day to homeless people, and provides shelter to about 160 homeless children, as well as their parents, each night, Curry said. It was not hard to find Machinists willing to help, Murphy said. “Once they came down and did it, you did not have to invite them back,� he said. “Once they saw what the need was, and how they could make a difference.� Now retired from Boeing, the Puyallup native said he plans to continue his volunteer work at the mission. “I really do enjoy it,� Murphy said. “It is part

of my life.�

Three Clover Park Technical College students took home the top prizes at the 2012 National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) Puget Sound Chapter Student Design Competition. Brandon Riem won the prize for Best Kitchen or Bathroom Design, which came with a $500 scholarship. The prize was awarded to Riem, who had the best score from three certified kitchen and bathroom designers. His concept was judged on visual appeal, creativity and adhering to required guidelines. “I have always liked art and design, but what drives me to design is expression,� said Riem. “A lot of my design work is personal and relates to my life.� Shara Eppert won an honorable mention award for going above and beyond on her design, which came with a $250 scholarship. “It was worth it. All the hard work was worth it,� said Eppert. “I would say, if others have the chance, to at least try. I feel like winning showed that I am doing something and I might actually be good at it.� “This showed that what we are being taught is up to par,� said Riem. “The fact that all three of us won from the same school says something about our school, our teachers and program.� Finally, Lara Sisco won the Most Inspirational award, which came with an iPad. Her award was given based on receiving the most votes from the NKBA. The students were awarded and recognized in front of peers and professionals in the industry at the NKBA Puget Sound Chapter’s 35th anniversary celebration at the Seattle Design Center.

When William Jordan started tossing around the idea of starting his own ticketing business – one that truly stood apart from competitors – he knew he had to make a splash in the industry somehow. And the principles he admired most in successful companies – fair pay, providing a quality product at a good price, treating people fairly – were closely aligned with the fair trade business model. After building Seattle-based Brown Paper Tickets on this model 12 years ago, the company has broken barriers many companies never knew existed. Today, the company proudly calls itself the world’s first fair trade ticketing company, and it has only expanded on these principles throughout the years. Enter the company’s not-just-forprofit business model dreamed up by CEO Steve Butcher. “We were looking for a way to compete with the one or two big companies that run everything,� he said. “We wanted to go in and fix the industry – basically by going in and doing everything better, and charging less to leave more money in the pockets of our customers.� The challenge: finding a way to offer a superior product for less. But all it took was spending the time to listen to customers. “We’re in such a damaged industry, we just had to listen to the complaints that were out there,� Butcher said. “It all came down to transparency for us, and delivering high quality customer service.� For a company that lacked a traditional sales and marketing department up until a couple years ago, it was more important than ever to deliver a product people would talk about. Rather than operating a traditional sales team, the company has armed itself with a team of what it calls “doers,� each inspired to take on a unique mission with the overarching

goal to simply make a difference in the community. The company pays six full-time doers to perform work – for free – to advance their cause. Doers today operate in a variety of industries, ranging from alternative sports, comedy, music, radio/new media, maker-advocate, and an overall do-gooder, with the goal to make an impact on the everyday world. “We really believe as a company that it is important to give back to the community,� said Doer Manager Kelly Allen. “They ask nothing in return, but they’re there to help people and, as a company, we like to think that those who are helped will use us in the future.� Doers were chosen because they are experts in their given fields, and simply want to continue making an impact that they may not be able to make without another source of income. Tamara Clammer, doer, makeradvocate, has already made an impact here in Tacoma, with her Freighthouse Square revitalization efforts through the first annual Interactive Community Arts Network (I CAN) event last March. The goal behind

the event was to bring new life and energy to the building by holding a unique arts and crafts fair. “This was by far my favorite project,� Clammer said. “Freighthouse Square is such a special place to me anyway, and now we’re planning the second I CAN event with a strong core of people in Tacoma. I can’t explain how grateful I am to have the ability to help so many people.� Although it may not be possible to every business to pay employees to perform volunteer work on a fulltime basis, Butcher has no doubt these efforts will pay off in the end. “Our job here is to make the doers into super citizens, and reflect light on them so people have access to them,� he said. “This is the benefit to the business.� Butcher hopes other businesses catch on to the not-just-for-profit model, and stress the importance of good citizenship in their own way. “I’d love to get other companies involved in the program,� he said. “Imagine what it would be like if we had an army of doers out there who are acting as corporate citizen-soldiers out there working for their own cause.�

acoma Weekly’s Kathleen Merryman took to the streets this week asking people their thoughts on the city’s budget dilemmas. Tacoma’s leaders have been bringing the city’s budget crisis home in community meetings where they’ve asked residents to state and rate their priorities. While governments carve up their areas of responsibility, their share of our tax dollars, ordinary people see governments’ effects on their lives as a whole. Schools, parks, social services, transit, roads, law enforcement, fire protection all matter to them, and they don’t necessarily track which pile of money pays for them. You’ll see that, along with some innovative suggestions and touches of irritation in their comments on Merryman’s three questions: Where should the City of Tacoma cut its budget? What should it not cut? Do you see ways to cut dollars without cutting services? Holly Appleton-Edwards of North Tacoma works for Catholic Community Services. “I think they should put a cap on salaries. If everything else is so bad, and no one else is getting raises, then no raises for city employees. No increases. No cost of living. Nothing. “I want more accountability with spending. Lunches, travel, ordering furniture, training‌ all that needs to be monitored. “I feel very strongly about crisis services for the mentally ill. No housing cuts. No cuts to back-towork programs. “I don’t want to see drug and alcohol services cut. I would love to see them start drug testing for people getting benefits.â€? Chris Caillier of North Tacoma works at the South Tacoma Grocery Outlet. “The city should not cut public safety, first responders and police. I would be against any new proposed taxes. “You know Pothole Pig?â€? (Reporter’s note: Yes, Chris, I do, but we are just good friends.) “No one knows exactly how big Pothole Pig is, but everyone knows how big a grande latte is. You should show him with a latte from a local coffee X See OPINION / page A6

Kalakala saga continues The long journey of Kalakala shifted direction slightly on Nov. 8, when Karl Anderson took possession of the dilapidated vessel from Steve Rodrigues. For the past eight years it has been moored on Hylebos Waterway at a dock Anderson owns. He obtained the ship in exchange for $4,000 that Rodrigues owed him for rent. Regardless of who owns it, the former ferry, which sailed the waters of Puget Sound from 1935 to 1967, remains a hazard to navigation. Coast Guard officials fear it will break loose from its moorings and sink. But it became obvious nothing useful would occur while Kalakala was owned by Rodrigues, a man with grandiose plans who went broke trying to restore it to its former glory. His saga could be compared to the title character in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s epic poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.� Both have had their lives changed drastically by ill fortune at sea related to a ship. Anderson is a reputable businessman and a leader in the community. He certainly will not sell it to someone who wants to restore it but has no legitimate plan to do so. He may have to cover the cost of scrapping the vessel. The dead albatross that Rodrigues had worn about his neck now adorns Anderson.

American ingenuity will create jobs and economic growth By Don Brunell Before the campaign promises of more jobs and renewed prosperity fade away, elected officials need to understand that those promises must be kept. Our nation needs jobs and new revenue, but the critical question is, “How?� Make no mistake; President Barack Obama and Congress have a daunting task ahead. First, they must understand that our problems will not be solved by just heaping more taxes on families and small businesses making more than $250,000 a year. Families need to be able to save for their retirement or their kids’ college tuition; small businesses need money to expand and create jobs. If those heavy taxes kick in, our economic woes will go from bad to worse in a hurry. We heard a lot during the campaign about taxing the rich. But the rich do not have enough money to solve our problems. Even if you taxed all of America’s millionaires and billionaires at 100 percent of their income — something no one has suggested as yet — you would only collect enough to run the government for 10 weeks. The reality is, hiking taxes is counterproductive; it slows economic growth. The key to creating more jobs — and generating more tax revenue

— is economic growth. The size of America’s economy is not finite; it is not an issue of slicing the pie into ever-smaller pieces or taking slices from some to give to others. We need to grow the size of the pie so everyone has more. More privatesector business activity will create more jobs and produce more tax revenues for government programs. One of the better ways to grow the economy — and enhance our national security — is domestic energy production. The American Petroleum Institute says that, with the right government policies, we could increase American oil and natural gas production 76 percent by 2030, generate more than 1.4 million new jobs and produce $800 billion in additional tax revenue. Another part of the solution is to stop spending more than we take in. According to The Wall Street Journal, the federal government borrowed 36 percent of what it spent last year. Imagine a family with a $40,000 annual income spending $54,400 a year — year after year — blithely letting the credit card debt pile up. Obviously, that would be irresponsible and irrational. But that is precisely what we are doing as a nation. So, part of the solution must be to cut our spending and start reducing our debt. Because of that reckless spending,

America’s credit rating was downgraded in 2011 for the first time in history. Ratings firms are warning that it could drop again, depending on what Congress and the president do about the “fiscal cliff.� The fiscal cliff is the popular shorthand term for the crisis we will face when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 go into effect. On Dec. 31, 2012, last year’s temporary payroll tax cuts will end, resulting in a 2 percent tax increase for workers. Certain business tax incentives will end, income taxes will rise because of changes in the alternative minimum tax, the Bush tax cuts will end and the new taxes in Obama’s health care law will hit. Before the election, politicians avoided confronting the fiscal cliff. Neither side would budge. Now, it is time to act. Many people said this was the most important election in our lifetimes. They may be correct. What we do now will have consequences for generations. Americans are at their best when the chips are down. Throughout our history, we have shown that, if we work together, we have the creativity, ingenuity and strength to succeed. No more rhetoric. Just do it! Don Brunell is president of Association of Washington Business.

Innovative policies help children with gender identity By Kathyrn Chociej I am writing to Tacoma Weekly about Washington’s antidiscrimination law Substitute House Bill 2801, codified as Revised Code of Washington 28A.300.285; and House Bill 3026 codified as RCW 28A.642. It was initially passed in 2010 but school districts are slow to respond to the mandates to develop policies and procedures to protect all students. I am not writing to advocate for any specific child. I am writing as a master in social work student at the University of Washington-Tacoma, as a parent, a domestic violence advocate, as a citizen of the greater Seattle/Tacoma area who is dedicated to protect and support all children and ensure the infrastructure is in place to provide all our children with a quality, supportive education. It is not news to any of us that children are teased and bullied on a daily basis because of their outward appearance. It is irrelevant whether a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity is different from the majority of their classmates. Brain research indicates a child can have a brain gender identity that does not match with their anatomical sex. For many children, their body may be very different from the identity they carry in their mind and heart. We are also aware that children love to talk about gender expression and what they can and cannot do, based on their assigned gender – how they have to make compromises so they are not targeted, so they do not stick out, so they will not be harmed. These compromises include the clothing they wear, activities they are involved in and the types of friends they keep. Clothing, activities, interests and friends – all non-gendered things, which our society genders at a young age. Those who do not conform to these gender norms become at risk for

bullying or worse. The good news is that a societal shift is in motion regarding this issue. The former societal, medical and mental health approach was that if the child does not fit, we need to change the child. Research now shows us that this approach was both harmful to the child and to their communities. We know it is at the root of mental health issues, homelessness, chemical dependency and high-risk, self-harm behaviors. The current accepted approach is to support the child in who they are. There are a number of programs that have been successful in this approach, including the Family Acceptance Project. What researchers have discovered is that if a child has had one supportive adult in their life, which could be a teacher or school counselor, the risk factors I mentioned decrease considerably. So, what does this support look like? Families accepting their child as a full human being. And what does this support look like outside of that relationship? Most people do not know. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) guidelines as of February 2012 provide guidance for schools with regard to challenges such as bathroom usage, changing areas, use of preferred name and gender pronouns and confidentiality of school records. Policies and procedures that affirm the child’s gender identity, such as bathroom usage, may make people nervous. They may see a boy using a girl’s bathroom. However, with education around these issues, they learn to see a transgender girl who wants to socialize in the girls’ bathroom with other girls. Without basic knowledge of this, and other issues, teachers and administrators do not know how to implement the policies and procedures outlined in the OSPI guidelines. They do not understand why this is important

and are therefore unable to explain why it is important to other students, staff or parents. They are unable to keep these children safe and this lack of training and preparedness puts the schools at a disadvantage. There are simple answers to all of these questions, and teachers are asking them in higher numbers each year. Seattle Public Schools, for example, is developing a model training on this very topic. Procedures are being drafted on a school district level that have been vetted by attorneys; to not only protect the rights of children in our schools, but also with the intention of preventing future discrimination lawsuits. School climates change when it clicks for everyone – when there is parent education, classroom education at all grade levels and education of school administrators, teachers and faculty. And to do this requires funding – statewide funding, to contract with providers who have training and expertise in this area. Teachers have plenty on their plates already and we should not expect them to become experts on every topic. There are curriculum changes that are not difficult to implement. Our children are already learning about diversity and about other families different than their own, whether it is in relation to religion, race or ethnicity. Adding gender to the discussion takes but a few small steps to incorporate into an already existing framework. I am asking for the support of a commitment of statewide funding to provide training in schools that supports and nurtures all our children. Our children are looking to us on how to respond. Our state is a leader in so many ways already. This is the next natural step in our progression towards equality. Kathyrn Chociej is an Auburn resident.

Restore former system for judicial vacancies The criminal justice system, to be legitimate, must be viewed by the public as impartial and fair. That is why we oppose a decision made this week by Pierce County Council to change the system for filling District Court vacancies. These positions are usually decided by voters. The council finds itself in a rare situation of making such a decision with Judge Jack Nevin moving on to the Superior Court. This was last done in 2003. At that time, the council made its selection from a list of individuals provided by a six-member committee. That committee consists of two members of Tacoma/ Pierce County Bar Association, one representative of the Minority Bar Association, a representative of the state court administrator, the council’s lawyer and the District Court presiding judge. The council has reduced the Bar Association from two people to one. The most concerning addition is a spot for the county prosecutor, a position currently held by Mark Lindquist. The proposed new panel raises many concerns. For one, we feel the prosecutor, regardless of who holds the position now or in the future, has an obvious conflict of interest. While this person may have the utmost in integrity, it still creates an appearance of a party with a stake in judicial decisions having influence over who will be making those decisions. When seats on the court are up for election, Lindquist already has the ability to make endorsements, which carry weight with voters. He does not need to have this additional amount of influence. Another concern is the division of power within branches of government. Judges are part of the judicial branch. The prosecutor is part of the executive branch. Many of the problems with our federal government can be traced to a blurring of divisions and responsibilities among the three branches. We should be able to maintain proper divisions with our local government. The council’s action creates an inappropriate crossover between the judicial and executive branches. Margaret Vail Ross, a judge on the District Court, was among those who testified prior to the council’s vote on Nov. 13. She said that the amendment, which they approved, “does not appear fair.� Letters to the council opposing the proposed changes were submitted by 36 prominent attorneys and all eight judges on the District Court. We commend Councilmembers Rick Talbert and Joyce McDonald for casting votes against the ordinance. The system was not broken. There was no reason for the council to fix it.

On Nov. 13, Pierce County Council approved a budget for 2013 that will reduce general government spending. The general fund, which pays for a majority of government services, will drop from $275.6 million to $274.8 million. Total spending will be $894 million, an increase of more than $50 MCDONALD million. Much of this is due to the expansion of the Chambers Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The budget was approved by a 7-0 vote. It does not include a cost-of-living adjustment for employees. Instead, some of that savings will be directed to the Sheriff ’s Department. The council decided to restore four vacant positions in the Sheriff ’s Department, at a cost of $400,000. County Executive Pat McCarthy had proposed cutting these positions. It will also increase funding for parks maintenance by $180,000, reduce overall county employment by 42 positions and place an additional $826,000 in reserves. “Above all, this budget demonstrates our commitment to public safety,� said Council Chair Joyce McDonald of Puyallup. “This is a responsible and fiscally sound budget. We must remain mindful of the ongoing uncertainty about the economy, which is why we cannot in good faith include a cost-of-living adjustment for employees or elected officials.� “This budget keeps Pierce County on the path of steady fiscal management that maintains stability and security for our communities,� said Councilmember Rick Talbert of Tacoma. The budget will reduce surface water management fees by $5 per residence to offset a new tax for the Flood Control Zone District. The board for this new district approved a countywide property tax of 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The tax will be collected starting next year and will cost the average homeowner about $25 per year. Last April Pierce County Council created the new taxing district to generate revenue for flood-control measures. Under state law, it could collect up to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The tax will generate about $6.9 million per year for rebuilding levees, purchasing flood-prone land and other measures. Officials in some cities not affected by flooding, such as Milton, have voiced objections to being subjected to the new tax. The board consists of the seven council members. The vote for the tax was 5-2. The no votes were cast by Republicans Dan Roach of Bonney Lake and Dick Muri of Steilacoom. Brian Ziegler, public works and utilities director for the county, said some of the money generated by the flood-control tax will fund efforts that, up to now, have been funded through the surface water management fee. Ziegler told the council that officials in some cities feel the county is inappropriately shifting some obligations to the new flood-control district. The budget now goes to McCarthy, who has 10 days from its arrival to sign it or veto it.

The big news out of the decathlon that is City Hall’s budgeting workshops is the proposed change of who will run the marketing of the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. The city-owned facility currently has its own marketing department that is tasked with booking the 8-year-old venue. That is set to shift to a $450,000 contract with the Tacoma Regional Convention + Visitor Bureau to do that work instead. The move will mean a city staff reduction of 17 city positions out of 34 operation positions and 27 support workers under the current structure to a core of 14 operational people and occasional hires for event work during conventions. The reductions will mean a savings of $40,000. For comparison, the convention center had a high of 66 workers in 2009 as it worked to boost its convention center bookings. Refinancing of the $45 million in bond debt will draw out that loan but lower the interest rate and lower the annual payment. Details on that are in the works for a December vote. About a dozen custodial and maintenance positions will be cut for an additional savings of $1.7 million. Another six custodial positions at the Tacoma Dome will be cut for $1 million in savings. The overall budget, however, will actually go up, from $44.5 million to $46.2 million. “We ramped up staffing right before the market crashed,� Interim Public Assembly Facilities Director Ron Hanson said.

A boost in cargo container shipping has the Port of Tacoma meeting or exceeding the majority of its budget goals. International container business in the third quarter is up 20.2 percent compared to original projections. This summer the shipping consortium Grand Alliance moved from Seattle to Tacoma. Auto imports are up 16.3 percent over original forecasts. Construction and mining activity in China and Australia is boosting exports of machinery. Those items were among the good news delivered by staff on Nov. 8 to Port of Tacoma Commission as they deliberate on the 2013

Kim DePaul, 38, of East Tacoma is a full-time caregiver for a senior relative. “Cut City Council salaries. They’re public servants. They make too much money. They are supposed to be serving the public, not fleecing the public. That’s a good place to start, especially since a lot of them have other jobs. “We need to invest a little more in children. I see them wandering in packs, being obnoxious. “They would shut down emergency services near my home. They would respond with a pickup truck instead of a fire truck. That’s going to affect me, but I’m not sure it’s going to affect me negatively. “Anything that cuts emergency services, especially police, should be important to everybody.

budget. “We have had a really strong year,� said CEO John Wolfe. He said the port is outperforming its plan, in part because it has done a good job of managing expenses. Wolfe said a major challenge in the future will be deciding where to invest limited resources. Grain exports are looking to exceed their target amounts by 11.1 percent, while breakbulk cargo is likely to exceed goals by 30.8 percent. David Morrison, director of financial planning and treasury, discussed budget projections. He told commissioners the port expects to exceed the 2012 projection by $5.7 million. He noted the port received some insurance payments this year that it

Staff is recommending the port maintain the current property tax rates next year. This amount is $18.36 per $1,000 of assessed value. There has been a decline in appraised value of real estate in Pierce County of $4 billion. This means that the average homeowner will see their tax payment to the port decline from $47.47 a year ago to $39.35 next year. “The future of the port is very bright,� Commissioner Don Johnson remarked. “It has been a tremendous year,� Wolfe said. “It is not over yet and we will finish strong.�

South Tacoma might get ‘new’ community center, of sorts By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

It looks like the halls of the South Neighborhood Center could hear the chatting of children again. Tacoma Cambodian Evangelical Church submitted the only bid for the 9,500-square-foot facility by the deadline late last month. The bid has received an endorsement from the citizen review panel tasked with vetting proposals, meaning the sale is likely to get a nod from the City Council later this year. The church plans to renovate the largely mouth-balled facility at 7802 S. ‘L’ St. for use as a teen center and for community programs as well as some religious services. “I think they want to make it more of a community center and not just a center for the Cambodian community,� said Assistant Facilities Division Manager Conor McCarthy. The center was originally built in 1978 with the federal Community Development Block Grant and was used by Metro Parks Tacoma as a community center, which was relocated to other facilities in 2011 because of the growing costs to repair the facility. Estimates in 2008 put the total bill for deferred maintenance at $1.8 million. The minimum bid for the property was set at the price-to-sell bar of $430,000. The 51,876-square-foot site was appraised at $500,000. Any new buyer would also have to agree to use the property in a way that benefits the surrounding neighborhood as determined by an advisory committee of city officials, concerned neighbors and the South End Neighborhood Council. On the committee’s 500point scale, the Tacoma Cambodian Evangelical Church’s proposal scored 466. The center is home to Kid Power Day Care Center, a Clear Wire wireless communication antenna; and an air monitoring station for the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. Honoring those lease agreements with those tenants are part of the purchase-and-sale agreement. If the sale is approved, the proceeds would not go into Tacoma’s pocket, however. Any proceeds would have to be folded back into the Community Development Block Grant system because those

the lone bidder to buy the South End Neighborhood Center. It’s proposal to use the facility as a teen and community center now faces a decision from the Tacoma City Council in December.

federal grants were used to build the center originally. Another city property up for sale is experiencing less success in finding new owners. The former Swan Creek library, at 3828 East Portland Ave., has been up for sale for about a year. Two requests for proposals, two open houses and the hiring of a real estate broker have yet to gain a single offer, although several buyers have submitted “low ball� bids. “The city is willing to work with potential new owners, but we have to have something to work with,� Western First Properties broker Kyle Prosser said of the handful of offers that have so far been rejected because they fall below the city’s minimum bid of $300,000, which is $100,000 less than what was first asked when it was first put on the market. By comparison, the former Martin Luther King Jr. library branch at Cedar and 19th Street was sold for $700,000 and is almost identical to the Swan Creek facility. “That tells you how much location means to a property,� Prosser said. The roster of current bidders include: a restaurateur, a day care operator, a property investor and a developer. Interested buyers earlier this year included the Puyal-

lup Tribe, which was looking to expand its governmental operations and house its historical department and museum at the facility, and the Fellowship Bible Church, which originally owned the site and had wanted to buy back the property and use it for religious services. Those potential buyers might inch up their bids for the property over time in hopes of getting the facility as inexpensively as possible or a new bidder would make an offer that fits the minimum bid price that would trigger a formal review. Whatever the scenario, nothing is going to happen quickly. “It could take a month, or it could take six months,� Prosser said. Unlike the proceeds from the South End Neighborhood Center sale, most of the money from the sale of the 4,420-square-foot Swan Creek facility will go to Tacoma’s General Fund. The Library Board of Trustees has requested that the money be allocated for the maintenance of library facilities. Tacoma bought the property for $37,500 in 1984 and spent $743,000 building the library branch, which opened in 1989. The site had an assessed value of $723,400 earlier this year but has since been determined to need some $450,000 in repairs, namely to the roof and ventilation system.

W Socks

From page A1

On Thanksgiving, thousands of them make up their Black Friday holiday shopping lists. They will decide whether they want to buy new socks for school children, toddlers, teens or adults served by the agencies that will accept donations. When they hit the stores, generous shoppers run into folks they have seen so often over the years, they feel like friends. At Fred Meyer, with its legendary half-price sock door-buster, they point each other to the best deals. For children, these shoppers want warm and cute together. If you are a needy kid, Tinkerbell and Thomas add fun to warmth. For adults who are working their way back from transitional to independent housing, donors look for footwear to fit the world of work. For kids who get their socks from a school clothing bank, they look for deals on what their own children would wear. But for Wesley’s clients, donors demand the best. They look for socks made of a warm mix of wool and acrylic, a fabric that will wick moisture away from the foot. These socks cost more than those made of cotton or nylon, but they save lives. “They are in danger of death,� Wesley said of his people. “People get very sick if they can’t get their feet dry. They can develop colds, and eventually pneumonia, which is a devastating disease in this community.� Tacomans are wise that way. They know prevention works. They would rather spend money on socks than on hospital stays. That is one of the reasons agencies, including Metropolitan Development Council and Tahoma Indian Center, have washers and dryers where their guests can wash their clothing – and make their socks last. Wesley has storage space at the Hospitality Kitchen, and will share donations with nearby agencies including Tahoma Indian Center, Nativity House, Metropolitan Development Council and Michael Sterbick of Keep ‘Em Warm & Fed. The overall drive will collect socks for Phoenix Housing Network, Project Homeless Connect and Communities in Schools. We have listed the donation sites in the box next to this story, and they will be on our website at www.tacomaweekly. com through December. But we are always thinking up ways to make doing good convenient. That is why we are inviting you to join the drive as a donation site for new socks. We will supply the (extremely festive) “Put A Sock In It� poster. You supply the basket, tub, tote, whatever, where people can give new – repeat – new socks. We will collect the socks as needed. Just call me at (253) 922-5317, ext. 23. It can work both ways. If someone needs a pair of socks and asks for them, the official policy of the drive is to say yes. Do not sweat security. Someone may need socks, but be too embarrassed to ask. More young people than you might wish fall into that category. Through the holidays, we will run stories each week featuring a sock recipient and a donor, telling why this matters to them. You will be surprised by the impact a humble pair of socks can have.

W Budget From page A6

The Public Assembly Facilities Department oversees operations of the 30-year-old Tacoma Dome, which is one of the largest wood-domed structures in the world with seating configurations that can accommodate 5,000 to 23,000; the recently renovated Cheney Stadium, the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center, which offers more than 119,000 square feet of flexible event space; the 37,000square-foot Bicentennial Pavilion; the historic Pantages Theater and Rialto Theater; as well as the 302-seat Theater on the Square. Contracts with the Rainiers baseball team covers Cheney Stadium bookings, while Broadway Center for the Performing Arts covers the theater, which leaves the convention spaces and the Dome under city booking authority, and that effort has been lagging. The convention center’s main ballroom was only used 56 percent of the time, with 206 days in use, while its exhibition hall was used even less, at 44 percent or 159 days, this year. The industry benchmark is between 50 and 70 percent. The Dome averages about 85 events a year. Competition from Key Arena and other venues in the region have cut into Tacoma bookings. To battle that trend, the city has commissioned a report on tourism spending and strategies that will be presented in December. Moving forward, Hanson noted that the core staff can handle the cuts internally since a review of the events calendar showed that no additional workers are needed for 309 days out of the calendar year. The remaining 15 percent, or 56 days, when the convention center has an event can be handled through outside vendors rather than full-time city workers. “It’s the scheduling that creates the demand,” he said. “It’s not the number of events; it’s how they fall.” The lack of events at the convention center has led to a need for $1.2 million from the General Fund this year to shore up the department’s bottom line and a projected $895,000 next year, according to city documents. Shifting the marketing efforts away from city staff and to the Tacoma Regional Convention + Visitor Bureau will enable the convention center to have three regional sales

people, one national sales person and one sales representative in Washington, D.C., which is seen as a key feeder location for landing conventions for national associations. The change, which is more in line with trade standards, will allow for flexibility in trade shows and familiarization tours of the facility as well. Hanson pointed out during his presentation that the same marketing efforts would have cost the city about $700,000 a year if they were done inhouse by city workers. The details of the contract are being worked out after about two years of informal discussions prompted by the recessionary cuts to city funding that have intensified with the current budget shortfall of $63 million facing the city. The presentation to the City Council marked the first green light to move forward. “Now we will begin to really iron out those details,” TRCVB President and CEO Bennish Brown. The notion of having the TRCVB market the convention center was first floated as the facility was under construction eight years ago. The lagging performance and the budget crisis sped up those talks. “I think it really never left the table,” Brown said. But now the days of having the city market the facility seem numbered. The change comes on the heels of a shift in leadership at the city’s Public Assembly Facilities Department. City Manager T.C. Broadnax appointed Kim Bedier to the director’s post earlier this fall. Bedier has more than 20 years of experience in venue management. She was formerly the general manager of the Comcast Arena in Everett, where she oversaw a $9 million operational budget. Her first day was yesterday. “I’m extremely excited to join the City of Tacoma,” said Bedier. “I look forward to collaborating with the community and its leadership to enhance the great things already happening with the public venues. I welcome the opportunity to work with the existing team to explore the potential that exists here.” As the new public assembly facilities director, Bedier will oversee the Tacoma Dome; Cheney Stadium; Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center; Bicentennial Pavilion; Pantages Theater, Rialto Theater and Theater on the Square.

EARLY YEARS. Fifteen years ago, ca. 1997, Jeannie Darneille was a visionary and

shoulders of giants, but that’s what we’re all doing in this field – we all are standing on the shoulders of the folks who started these missions years ago. This is the time to think back and remember those who have died, but also to remember those who have been fighting for a long time and use that to motivate us in going forward.” In conjunction with the “PCAF: 25 Years of Service” event, the Foundation asked local artists to create works of art around the image of the iconic red ribbon, the symbol of solidarity in the fight against AIDS for the past three decades. Ten artists answered the call and created thoughtful and moving artworks that will be sold at a silent auction during the Dec. 1 commemoration. For those wishing to get a preview of “ART FOR AIDS: Ribbons of Remembrance,” stop by Corina Bakery (604 Fawcett Ave.) to view the pieces up close and pick your favorite. At the Dec. 1 commemorative gala, welcoming remarks will be given by Benjii Biddle, deputy executive director at Broadway Center. Other speakers will include Wilkerson, PCAF board president Judith Billings and board member Rev. Spencer Barrett who will speak on the topic of World AIDS Day. Wilkerson, who took the helm at PCAF in 2007 upon Darneille’s leaving, said Darneille was the first person he met here in the field of HIV/AIDS. The two felt a common bond right from the start. “When this position opened, she was one of the reasons I was interested in PCAF

because it had such a good reputation,” Wilkerson said. “On my second day on the job she sent me a bouquet of flowers, saying I’m so glad they chose you.” He said Darneille remains the staunchest advocate in the legislature for people with HIV/AIDS. “In her service as a state representative, she has been the leader in saving and keeping AIDS prevention and care dollars. She has been a major drive and force, whether as executive director or in the legislature.” Darneille’s work to keep PCAF strong has also contributed to the Foundation being able to reach affected populations outside of Pierce County. Last month PCAF officially completed its merger with United Communities AIDS Network (UCAN) to provide HIV/ AIDS care and prevention services for Thurston and Lewis counties. PCAF has retained UCAN’s Olympia office as well so that clients in that area won’t have to travel far to receive services. To celebrate the merger, on Nov. 28 PCAF will hold a public open house at the Olympia office (317 4th Ave. E.) from 4-5:30 p.m. RSVP to ajones@piercecountyaids.org or call (360) 352-2375. “UCAN is really an example of what’s happening across the country with non-profits. With limited resources, agencies are starting to merge to reduce administrative costs,” Wilkerson said. “Our challenge right now is to work with Thurston and Lewis counties and find out what it means to be an agency that now serves three counties and not just Pierce County.” Tickets to “PCAF: 25 Years of Service” must be ordered in advance at www.piercecountyaids.org.

emories of 2010 were fresh on the mind of Bothell coach Tom Bainter, whose team surrendered a 21-0 lead in the state quarterfinals that year to lose 28-21 to Bellarmine Prep in the final seconds. Feeling confident, Bainter predicted a win in the pages of the Seattle Times leading up to the matchup on Nov. 10. It would be a story Bellarmine would refuse to read. Led by Lou Millie’s 191 rushing yards, the Lions held on to defeat Bothell by a score of 35-30 to advance to the state quarterfinals on Nov. 17 against the Gonzaga Bullpups in Spokane. “Our kids came ready to play, and they came well prepared against a great team in Bothell,” said Bellarmine head coach Tom Larsen, whose team advances to the state quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. Before the fans found their seats in the first quarter, Bellarmine’s Drew Griffin got them up again, returning the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to give the Lions a 7-0 lead. But running back Danny Wilson would equalize for the Cougars late in the first, scoring from two yards out. Bothell would then assume the lead after a fumble recovery deep in Lions territory, and quarterback Ross Bowers hit Jared Berry with a 14-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter to go up 14-7. “I was proud of the way our kids responded to adversity,” said Larsen. Bellarmine answered with three secondquarter touchdowns for a 28-17 lead at the half. The key point in the game came late in the third quarter, when Sefo Liufau engineered a 15-play, 86-yard drive that culmi-

nated with a 29-yard pass to Logan Hickman on 4th-and-2 to give the Lions a 35-17 lead. Millie did his part by running for 46 yards on 10 carries on the drive to put the Lions in a great position to win. And they would need every one of those points. Bothell stormed back to cut the lead to 35-30 with 2:26 to go in the game, but the Lions then recovered an onside kick to salt away the hard-earned win. “We had them pinpointed early,” said Liufau, who threw for 185 and two touchdowns on the afternoon. “Our coaches did a great job of putting together our game plan…I’m so proud of our big guys up front, especially on the 86-yard drive. They’ve been big all year long.” “Gonzaga Prep is a lot like Bothell, they’re a big and physical team,” said Larsen of the Lions’ next opponent. “We’ll have to bring our ‘A’ game next Saturday afternoon.” “I can’t say enough about my teammates these last four years,” said Liufau. “It’s been a real blessing to play with them. “We are not going to be satisfied with this win. We need to get back to the Dome for the semis like we did two years ago.” By Steve Mullen

Young squad shows promise for future By Steve Mullen Correspondent

In a season that saw the maturity of a very young Curtis side, the Lady Vikings gave the nationally ranked Tahoma Bears all they could handle and then some, falling 2-1 in a very physical affair in the 4A state quarterfinals on Nov. 10 at Tahoma. “I was proud of our girls tonight and all season long,” said Lady Vikings head coach Frank Hankel, who had much to be proud of with the great effort of his young team. Tahoma struck first when Kaysha Darcy scored off of a set piece in front of the net for a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute. But freshman phenom Morgan Weaver would equalize for Curtis in

the 15th minute with a laser, curling a shot from the right flank from 20 yards out to tie the match at 1-1. Tahoma would own much of the play in the first half, but the defensive prowess and tenacity of the young Lady Vikings kept it tied going into the locker room. The second half saw more of the same, with Tahoma controlling much of the play in the midfield and in the Curtis end of the pitch. The Bears got the go-ahead goal in the 59th minute when Taylor Clarin scored off a corner kick in front of the net, putting Tahoma ahead for good. From that point on, Hankel would bring up his back line to overlap into attacking mode to try to get the equalizer, with a couple of good chances that just missed.

But the clock ran out, and a great season came to an end for a Lady Viking squad that has nothing but great years ahead. “(I was) really frustrated by the lack of game control at the final whistle,” Hankel added to the muchdeserved praise of his side. “We’ll regroup and have the great majority of this side back for the next three years. I’m looking forward to them.” Losing only four seniors off of this year’s club, the future is indeed bight for the Lady Vikings for several years to come as Curtis prepares to make their mark in 2013. With the win, Tahoma will play at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup in the semifinals against Skyline on Nov. 16.

After getting a taste of the state tournament the past two years and suffering the disappointment of an opening-round loss last year, Bellarmine Prep returned this season with a wellbalanced and focused squad poised to do something special. Their ultimate goal was achieved on Nov. 10 in Lacey, as the Lions hoisted the 4A state title trophy after beating Mead in five sets, 25-27, 25-14, 25-20, 16-25, 15-13. “They just had so much more experience and knowledge about what was expected of them and what they would need to accomplish to win it,� said head coach Jody DeGroot. The Lions had defeated Lake Stevens and Puyallup in the first two rounds on Nov. 9, then tossed aside Jackson – who had beaten the Lions earlier in the season – in the semifinals to reach the title game. But after taking a 2-1 lead against the Panthers, the Lions quickly fell behind in the fourth set. That’s when the Lions’ experience and resiliency came into play. “They maintained their composure, knowing they would probably go into set five,� DeGroot said. “They didn’t panic. The look on their faces was never like ‘what are we going to do.’ It was like they were prepared for those moments.� Headlining the weekend for the Lions was two-time league MVP Courtney Schwan, who had 82 kills and 42 digs in the tournament. “I’ve seen her play at that (high) level, but to consistently play at that level the entire weekend was what was amazing,� said DeGroot. The Lions coach also praised the depth of the squad, noting that Julia Wright, Kelsie May and Natalie Jensen were key to the defensive effort while senior

Washington optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Some of my patients consider me the last stop for people who have vision loss�, said Dr. Cusic, a low vision optometrist who limits his practice to visually impaired patients in his offices throughout Washington. Macular Degeneration is the most common eye disease among seniors. The macula is one small part of the entire retina, but it is the most sensitive. When it degenerates , macular degeneration leaves a blind spot right in the center of vision making it impossible to recognize faces, read a book, or pass DMV’s vision test.

After dropping their tournament opener, Annie Wright rattled off three straight victories in the consolation bracket to claim seventh place at the 1A state tournament at the Yakima Valley SunDome on Nov. 9-10. The Gators fell 18-25, 25-12, 15-25, 20-25 to Zillah in the opener on Nov. 9, as senior Lani Kalalau led the way for Annie Wright with 21 kills and 20 digs and Margaux Arnston had 13 kills and four blocks. But head coach Rodney Kalalau said the passing wasn’t efficient throughout the match, and that a relatively young team may not have been quite ready yet. “When you go to the big dance, you’ve got to show up and play like you did to get there,â€? Kalalau said. “I think nerves got to us early, and we couldn’t recover in the first game.â€? But the Gators responded with a 25-13, 25-20, 25-16 win over Nooksack Valley in their second game, as Arnston and Lexi LeClech each had 12 kills, Maria Vipond had 20 assists and Lani Kalalau added 20 digs. They continued the momentum with a 25-18, 23-25, 25-23, 25-19 win over Kalama on Nov. 10 to advance to the consolation finals. After dropping their first set to Freeman 21-25, the Gators came back to win the final three 25-17, 25-23, 25-19 to claim seventh place – the best they could get after the openinground loss. Lani Kalalau again led the way in the final match with 16 kills, 28 digs and three aces for the Gators. “Everybody got their heads together and played as a team,â€? Rodney Kalalau said. “Everybody did their job, like we’ve done all season‌(there were) some bumps along the way, but I’m glad we were able to recover.â€?

SPORTSWATCH STADIUM, FOSS :>044,9: 0479,:: Stadium senior Felicity Cann won two individual titles at the 4A swim meet on Nov. 10 at the King County Aquatic Center, helping the Tigers place 16th as a team. Cann started off with a win by almost four seconds in the 200-yard freestyle, finishing in one minute and 49.72 seconds, which was good for All-American consideration. She notched another All-American consideration time in later winning the 500-yard freestyle, finishing in four minutes and 57.78 seconds. Cann also teamed with Amber Longrie, Nichelle Soriano and Melanie Muller to place 14th in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Foss, meanwhile, placed 13th at the 3A meet, led by juniors Emma Chard and Sara Sachs. Chard placed second in the 100yard breaststroke, finishing in one minute and 5.68 seconds, while also placing third in the 100-yard freestyle in 52.14 seconds. Sachs added a seventh-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke, finishing in just over one minute, while also placing 13th in the 200-yard freestyle. The duo also teamed with Yana Kuloff and Meghan Ripley to place 11th in the 200-yard freestyle relay and 15th in the 200-yard medley relay. Wilson’s Hailey Viehmann got 6.5 points for the Rams after tying for 10th place in the diving competition, while freshman Madeleine Dodge also swam in the prelims of the 200-yard individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle. Dodge, Seanna Collins, Rachel Duke and Karli Stevenson also swam in the prelims of the 200-yard freestyle relay.

SOLID CAREER. Stadium senior Felicity Cann finished off her high school career with two individual titles at the 4A state swim meet on Nov. 10 in Federal Way. to play in a snow-covered field, but had to deal with star Dragons junior forward Erik Muelheims, who Tacoma Baptist head coach Josh Narayan called an “extraordinary player.” “It was very hard to contain him,” said Narayan of Muelheims, who scored three goals and added two assists. “He’s very fast and can control the ball. The whole offense went through him.” After falling behind 2-0, the Crusaders got on the board in the 22nd minute when Austin Lutterloh finished a corner kick from Tiago Rodrigues. But Muelheims answered with two goals before the half to give St. George’s a commanding lead. “We played them well in the second half…we had opportunities we missed,” Narayan said. “I don’t see anybody stopping St. George’s this year.” It was a much different outcome from the last time the teams met, a 2-0 win for the Crusaders in the 2008 state finals. The loss leaves the Crusaders with 15 wins, three losses and two draws this season, as they advanced to the state quarterfinals for the second

straight year. “They did rather well,” Narayan said. “I’m proud of them.” By Jeremy Helling

LOGGERS WIN REGIONAL, LUTES FALL By rattling off three wins in three days, the Puget Sound volleyball team won the Division III West Regionals in Thousand Oaks, Calif. last weekend to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals. The Tigers started off their weekend with a 27-25, 25-13, 14-25, 25-22 win over Colorado College on Nov. 9, as Melissa Florant helped lead the way with 14 kills and 13 digs, Jenni Brehove had 38 assists and Christina Chun led a solid defensive effort with 19 digs. Northwest Conference MVP Jackie Harvey added 12 kills and 16 digs, as the Loggers notched a 20-win season for the first time since 2007, which was also the last time they advanced in the NCAA tournament. The Loggers topped Chapman 25-18, 28-26, 25-22 on Nov. 10 behind Harvey’s 14 kills and 16 digs, while Brehove had 40 assists. They finished the weekend with

a 14-25, 26-24, 25-21, 27-25 win over Cal Lutheran, as Harvey again led the way with 16 kills while Chun had 21 digs. Harvey was named the tournament MVP, while Chun and freshman Emily Convery also made the AllTournament Team. Puget Sound advances to face top-ranked Calvin on Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. (ET) in Holland, Mich. The semifinals are on Nov. 16, with the finals to take place on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. (ET). Pacific Lutheran, meanwhile, was topped by Chapman 13-25, 15-25, 22-25 in its tournament opener on Nov. 9, as Amy Wooten had a team-high 10 kills, Brianne Vincent had 21 assists and Blair Bjorkman added 20 digs. The Lutes won the regular season conference title this year, finishing with a 20-6 overall record and a 14-2 mark in league play.

LUTES WIN FINALE, EARN TOURNEY INVITE Pacific Lutheran earned its first selection to the Division III Football Tournament since 2001 after placing second in the Northwest Conference and finishing the season with a 38-21 win at Menlo

on Nov. 10. Quarterback Dalton Richey was 16-for-30 for 373 yards and four touchdowns against the Oaks, while also getting the Lutes on the board with a two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Richey connected with Kyle Warner on a 41-yard touchdown pass to give the Lutes a 17-7 lead at the half, while he also hit Kellen Westering, Lucas Sontra and Daniel Herr for short touchdown passes in the second half. Herr led PLU with seven catches for 165 yards, while Warner finished with five catches for 148 yards. Despite some sloppiness – the Lutes fumbled five times and lost three – the defense was solid, as Sean McFadden led the way with 13 tackles while Jordan Patterson had 4.5 tackles for loss among his 11 total tackles. The Lutes offense seems to be clicking at the season’s end, as they have accounted for more than 950 yards in the last two games. Pacific Lutheran travels to take on Linfield – who beat the Lutes 31-24 in a conference showdown earlier this season – on Nov. 17 at noon in the NCAA tournament opener.

LOGGERS SOCCER FALLS IN FIRST ROUND The Puget Sound women’s soccer team fell 1-0 to Trinity on Nov. 10 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in San Antonio to end their season. The Loggers fell behind in the 26th minute on a goal by Trinity’s Kelsey Falcone, and Puget Sound was never able to consistently threaten to equalize. Two of the Loggers’ three shots on goal in the match came in the final five minutes, as Haley Rosenberg and Amalia Acorda-Fey each tested trinity keeper Katie Garrett but their shots were saved. Logger keeper Casey Thayer made four saves to keep Puget Sound in the game, as Trinity held a 13-3 shot advantage in the match. The loss ends a season that saw the Loggers win their 11th straight Northwest Conference title, and they will lose only senior Theresa Henle off of this year’s squad as they look toward next fall.

dogs’ 30-yard line in nine plays on the game’s opening drive, but an incompletion on fourth down turned the ball over to Montesano. The Bulldogs then launched a nine-play drive of their own, capping it with a three-yard touchdown run by Tucker Ibabao to make it 7-0. The Tarriers once again drove into Montesano territory on the next drive, but Fritz Jacobson came up just short on a quarterback sneak to turn it over on downs again. “We thought we were in some favorable situations,� said Charles Wright head coach Mike Finch. “Those are the downs we feel like we can really prevail. Hats off to their defense, they did step up and stopped us on three or four big fourthdown tries tonight.� Montesano added a field goal on their next possession, and after a fumbled kickoff Ibabao was in the end zone again on a nineyard run to make it 17-0 early in the second quarter. The Tarriers seemed to grab the momentum just before halftime, as Reynolds ripped off a 35-yard run and Jacobson scampered 14 more yards on a nine-play, 61-yard drive that was capped by Hughey’s one-yard touchdown with 57 seconds left. But the quick-working Bulldog offense responded, marching 62 yards in less than 40 seconds, as Ibabao again found the end zone from 17 yards out to make it 23-7 at the half. Another four-play drive to start the second half – covering 49 yards and capped by another 17-yard score from Ibabao – gave Montesano a commanding 31-7 lead early in the second half. Ibabao finished with 16 carries for 101 yards and the four scores. But the Tarriers began to chip away, as Jacobson capped a 12-play drive with a 19-yard strike to Collin Hungate to cut it to 31-13

late in the third quarter. “Our offensive line really stepped up and performed like we have all season,� said senior lineman/linebacker Drew Vipond. “We never for a minute thought we were going to lose the game.� Hughey added his second touchdown from two yards out in the fourth to cut it to 31-21, and the Tarriers quickly got the ball back on a turnover on downs. But after driving to the Bulldogs’ 43-yard line, they were unable to convert on fourth down, and Montesano was able to run out the clock. Reynolds led the Tarriers with 17 carries for 88 yards, while Hughey added 13 carries for 53 yards and the two scores. Charles Wright finished the season 8-1, having won its first league title since 1989. “This one loss does not reflect on them at all,� Finch said. “It’s an 8-1 season, they’re Nisqually League champions and they will be remembered that way.� By Jeremy Helling

Canzler Tree Service does it all - and does it RIGHT! WINDSAIL REDUCTION/CROWN REDUCTION

Trees can become hazardous when the crown (top) of the trees becomes thick and heavy or the trees have too many limbs to allow wind to pass through. We can selectively remove limbs and thin the crown to allow wind to pass through and greatly reduce the possibility of your trees blowing over.

TOPPING/VIEW TRIMMING

REMOVAL

Dead, damaged, diseased or unsightly trees can cause problems or diminish the value of your property. Trees growing too close to structures, blocking desired sunlight or causing a lot of mess may also be reasons to consider removal. We will safely and professionally remove and clean up undesired trees and bushes without damaging property or landscaping.

STUMP GRINDING

Our machine is self propelled and will fit though a 36� gate, so we can get to most stumps even in difficult spots. We can grind stumps 12-14� below the surface so that you can plant another tree, bush, or grass.

TRIMMING

We can enhance the aesthetic value of your property by trimming or pruning trees, bushes, fruit trees, etc. Limbs or foliage over houses, other structures, or wires can be removed or cut back to protect your roof, utility lines, or to allow more light in the yard.

Topping can be a viable option when windsail reduction is not desired or a view is in jeopardy. The fact remains that topped trees do not blow over (at least until large new tops grow up—generally 1520 years), unless there is a systemic problem (root rot, disease, etc). Topping, however, will promote rot at the top of the tree over a period of time, can reduce the life span of a tree, cause the limbs to grow oversized, and upper limbs may grow upward to form new tops which will not be well attached. This process takes a long time and the trees will be safe for at least 15-20 years. They can be trimmed back or re-topped when they become a problem. We are not rabid “anti-toppers� as some are—but we will give you honest advice if we feel another option may be better.

STORM CLEAN-UP

When disaster strikes we will be there to remove trees from houses or clean up from storm damage. We do not believe in bilking customers or insurance companies just because they are in a bind, we want you to be happy and call us back if you are ever in need of other services.

The highest quality work, performed promptly and at competitive prices.

THINNING

Thinning will enhance the health and beauty of your trees. Often when trees become too thick, foliage in the middle dies off or limbs become too heavy and crowded. Dead, damaged, crowded, and inverted limbs are removed to allow wind to pass through and to allow more light on the remaining foliage.

Up a tree? Don’t monkey around!

Watch Alice Cooper raise the dead at upcoming Emerald Queen show

arilyn Manson. Slipknot. GWAR. A gang of ghoulishly theatrical rockers have followed in his wake. But Alice Cooper – the main attraction Sunday at the Emerald Queen Casino’s I-5 showroom – is still the king of shock rock. Tacoma Weekly interviewed the rock legend (born Vincent Damon Furnier) who gave us the skinny on boozing with Keith Moon and recording “Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” the sequel to one of his most iconic albums. But it was the day after passage of I-502. And first things first: What’s up with the legal pot? TW: You’re calling it the Raise the Dead tour. What kinds of shocks and surprises does this one have for all the fans? Alice: First of all, I’m surprised you guys aren’t all high today. What is the deal with that now? Does that mean it’s legal marijuana, or is it a government thing or what? TW: They already had the medical

shops here. But recreational use will be legal up to a certain amount – an ounce or something like that. [Note: Don’t blaze up just yet, Weekly readers. It goes into effect on Dec. 6.] Alice: I just wanted to get that clear. We’re sitting up here in Canada going, “How weird is that?” We lived through this back in the ‘60s when everybody said, “Well, it’s gonna be legalized.” We didn’t realize it was gonna be 50 years later. Anyways, … I had a drinking club called the Hollywood Vampires. You know, it was John Lennon, Keith Moon, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and people like that. Every night we’d meet at the Rainbow (Bar & Grill in Los Angeles) and drink. Harry Nilsson, Bernie Taupin, Mickey Dolenz. It was just sort of the same guys every night. Well, four of those guys are gone. So we decided to do a thing where Alice shows up in this graveyard … and raises the dead. Their tombstones are there, and I do “Break On Through” by the Doors and “Revolution” by the Beatles and John Lennon, “My Generation” and “Foxy Lady.”

‘Dreamgirls’ has all the makings of a smash-hit for DASH Center

Special fundraising performance to be held Dec. 1 By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

Things are right on schedule for DASH Center’s production of “Dreamgirlsâ€? to open on Nov. 23. “We are about a week away and all we’re doing is adding costumes and putting a few tweaks here and there‌we’re in a good space,â€? said director and choreographer Jimmy Shields, who also has an acting role in a couple of the performances. Isaiah Anderson, Jr. is also assisting with choreography. While the majority of DASH Center’s productions showcase the youth who are enrolled in the center’s performing arts classes, “Dreamgirlsâ€? is the center’s first full adult cast production. This is a perfect chance to witness the top tier of talent among adults at DASH, particularly its co-founder and Executive Director Candi Hall who plays the role of Deena Jones, the part BeyoncĂŠ Knowles played in the film version (Hall has a voice that can raise the roof singing Whitney Houston songs, so be prepared to be wowed). The whole cast includes phenomenal singers, dancers, actors, and actresses: current Ms. Pierce County Alexandria Henderson as Lorrell Robinson, Carmen Brantley-Payne as Effie White and Angelica Barksdale as Michelle Morris, with DASH Dance Director Charles Simmons as Curtis Taylor Jr. The character Michelle, who replaces Effie in the latter part of the play, is played by Angelica Barksdale. Shields will step in and play the role of Effie’s brother C.C. a couple of times during the run. “It’s my dream role,â€? Sheilds said. “I’ve been infatuated with ‘Dreamgirls’ for a really long time. This is probably my most adventurous production yet.â€? “Dreamgirlsâ€? originated as a Broadway musical in the early 1980s, nominated for 13 Tony Awards and winning six. The 2006 film adaptation made an overnight sensation of Jennifer Hudson, who won numerous accolades including an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and an NAACP Image Award, among others. The story revolves mainly around a fledgling girl group called The Dreams and their rise to superstardom during the 1960s and 70s. With nods toward Diana Ross and the Supremes and other Motown acts of that era, “Dreamgirlsâ€? explores the trials and tribulations faced by young hopefuls during the Motown heyday. Many memorable hit songs came from the stage production, such as the thrilling “I Am Changing,â€? “And I am Telling Youâ€? and, from the film, “Listenâ€? as performed by Knowles. “Each number is like a concert,â€? Sheilds said of the DASH production, and the music starts from the moment the curtain rises. “Right off the bat it starts off with a performance. You are at the Apollo.â€? DASH Center’s production stays more true to the Broadway play than the film version, which took certain liberties with the original.

“One of the things the film kind of took away was the story; it tells such a beautiful story for everyone involved,� Sheilds explained. Whereas the film focuses on just some of the main characters, in DASH’s production there are about half a dozen stories going on that are intertwined throughout the play. “It’s not just about the sort of playing off a Diana Ross and the Supremes idea of the girls groups of the 1960s and 70s,� Sheilds said. Though there is that aspect to the stage production, there are also story plots going on

among all the principal characters. “Lorell has her own story plot going, and Effie has probably the biggest story plot and not Deena,â€? according to Sheilds. “There’s C.C.’s battles, Curtis and his ego trips he goes on‌ Jimmy (played by Isaiah Parker) is a dynamo – a mix between Little Richard and James Brown – so his character on stage is larger than life and Isaiah is perfect for that.â€? There is a big change from the film concerning the character Jimmy as well, but audiences will have to find out that for themselves. “Dreamgirlsâ€? will run at the LAPAC Theatre on the campus of Charles Wright Academy from Nov. 24 through Dec. 9. Showtimes are Fridays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20/adults and $15/under 21. Advance tickets are $15 when purchased online before Nov. 17. Get tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/287535. After Nov. 17, tickets must be purchased in person at DASH Center (1504 Martin Luther King Jr. Way) or at the door day of show. For all who desire to help DASH grow and continue serving youth in the Tacoma/Pierce County community, mark your calendars and get your tickets now to attend the “Dreamgirlsâ€? Gala and Fundraiser Show on Dec. 1. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m., and the play starts at 8. During the catered reception, guests will be entertained by some fine talent from the Tacoma area, enjoy a meet and greet with the cast, participate in a silent auction, and take home a gala gift bag. Tickets for this event are $40 and proceeds go directly to the Inspiring Artists Scholarship fund and the DASH Center Theatre Capital Fund, as the center is aiming to secure its own performing arts theatre in 2013.

TCC art faculty displays versatility in new works By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

The Gallery at Tacoma Community College is currently hosting a show of works by Marit Berg, Melinda Cox and Frank Dippolito – all members of the TCC art faculty (or retired faculty in Dippolito’s case). The three were given free reign to do what they wanted and the result is a display of versatility. Each of the artists demonstrates a mastery of more than one art medium. More by coincidence than design, birds appear in the work of each

to provide the show with an accidental theme. Berg is an expert paint handler as is evidenced in her “Biomes� series. A biome is a regional climactic zone characterized by the plants and animals that live there. She stretched a quarto of house-shaped canvases upon which she laid out some of North America’s biomes: grassland, desert, deciduous forest and tundra. The colors chosen convey the visual “flavor� of each particular environment. A lacework of gray-white lines delineates the birds and animals that reside in each of

the biomes. This lacework overlays a background landscape. Berg’s intent was to use the house-shaped canvases to depict each biome as a home for the plants and animals that live there. The series can evoke philosophical ideas, but it also comes across rather like a visual teaching tool that one might find in an elementary school classroom or on the cover of a children’s introductory biology text. While Berg is undoubtedly skilled with the paintbrush, it is her etchings that seem her true strength. In

MICROSCOPE ENHANCED DENTISTRY

this medium Berg has done a series of traps – ominous, mechanical contraptions that promise nothing but pain, loss of freedom and death. Another avenue of exploration is Berg’s “Extinct Birds� series. “Demise of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker� presents that creature in four different artistic states in a sequence on a single sheet of paper. There is a color illustration, a black and white rendering, a drawing that has been smudged by an eraser (“rubbed out�) and, finally, a ghostly impression of the bird in the paper itself. This is a visual representation of the way some species are wiped out. In the end, all we have is the impression or memory of a living thing that once existed. Berg’s “woodpecker� is a sad and somber work of art. A series of works on paper by Melinda Cox presents pigeons and crows in a more comical, light-hearted vein. In works like “Juggling Birds� and “Balancing Birds� Cox exercises a degree of whimsy. Her birds are tossed bemusedly and defy gravity. In “Sobriety Test,� a pair of crows and a pigeon walk the line along the edge of a highway as if being tested for drunkenness. Cox also presents a series of sumptuous acrylic paintings called “Prariescapes� in which the drama of earth and sky is shown in a variety of moods. “Watermelon Truck,� meanwhile, is a large canvas depicting a wonderful jumble of melons heaped in the back of an old yellow pickup. Each of the melons is lovingly depicted as an individual. In other works such as the “Pick up Stix� paintings or the “Chinese Painter� color pencil compositions, Cox demonstrates her remarkable dexterity at rendering complex patterns such as those found on Persian carpets or old world table cloths. To cap it all off, there is an example of a felt scarf and some mod-barbarian jewelry. Dippolito is a restless

explorer forever pushing the boundaries. In his twodimensional works (which he sometimes folds and rolls to make them 3-D) he seeks to get beyond the traditional manner of presenting a painting or drawing as a framed, bounded object that is hung on the gallery wall. He has done paintings and chalk drawings that are not content to lay flat. Instead they project from the walls or they climb up a corner of the space. The back wall of the gallery is dominated by a gigantic, triangular arrangement of chalk drawings called “Supper Setting� which looks like a sacramental table setting viewed from above. Big and bold as the concept is, the chalky drawings feel hasty and ephemeral. More fascinating than the drawings and paintings are Dippolito’s excursions into the ceramic medium. Dippolito is quite adept

at handling clay and he ranges from traditional vessel forms to very abstract, sculptural pieces. One of his vases is a wondrous oval done in a glistening glaze that is dark as molasses on top and oozes down into honey tones. His “Cylinder Vases� have a rustic and brash sense of their own tactile presence. Two pieces entitled “Not a Vase� look as if they were constructed of the potter’s trimming scraps piled up one upon the other. There are also a pair of conceptual pieces such as “Nest� in which Dippolito surrounds ceramic bird heads with more of the bisque fired trimmings and scraps that potters normally consign to the trash heap. The exhibition of works by Berg, Cox and Dippolito runs though Dec. 14. For further information call (253) 460-4306 or visit www.tacomacc.edu/campuslife/thegallery.

New public art in the spotlight at STAR Center By Kate Burrows kburrows@tacomaweekly.com

When Lisa Kinoshita was commissioned to complete the city’s latest public art installation in South Tacoma’s STAR Center, she knew she had to create something that reflects the natural environment and history of the area. Her piece, titled “Sempervivum� – Latin for ever-living – certainly reflects the former wetlands that existed where the STAR Center currently stands. “I wanted to create an art piece that brought the fascinating natural history of South Tacoma to light, and I was excited that STAR’s wetlands-inspired landscaping – including reed-filled holding ponds

that attract ducks, frogs and other wildlife – provided the perfect setting,� Kinoshita said. The piece consists of three large steel sculptures, with two designed as ‘green canopies.’ These 6-foot areas are covered with greenroof materials and insulation, and covered with live sedum plants that will ultimately fill in completely over time. Two out of three of the sculptures are made of mild steel designed to rust, which will eventually integrate the art slowly into the natural landscape over time. Kinoshita, best known locally for her unique jewelry art, says the leap to public art was a fairly natural progression. “Much of my jewelry is architectural, like

small-scale sculpture,� she said. “In terms of the concept, it was a small step. But these sculptures are on a 7 to 8-foot scale, and I learned a great deal working with my fabricator, Quinn Honan, to create a trilogy that would work within the context of the marsh-like landscape Metro Parks has created.� Kinoshita received the art commission through the city’s PA:ID (Public Art: In Depth) program last year, and calls the process an important learning experience. “My project required flexibility in

terms of site selection and construction, and the project evolved throughout,� she said. “This intensive program developed by Amy McBride really opened up my horizons as an artist.� The process of creating public art meant working with a variety of entities, from Metro Parks and the city of Tacoma to the general public. “I met so many wonderful people on this project,� she said. “It is an honor to have created an art work for the STAR Center and the South Tacoma community.�

Lakewood Playhouse presents The Sonics schedule a ribald holiday classic February show with Mudhoney By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

PHOTO COURTESY OF LAKEWOOD PLAYHOUSE/ DEAN LAPIN

GET THE POINT. Antonia (Katherine Amanda Mahoney) holds a knife to the throat of Sir Andrew

It took them four decades to come out of hiding. But this time fans will only have to wait until February for Tacoma garage-rock heroes, the Sonics, to return. The Sonics played their first hometown show since the Johnson administration on July 27 at Pantages Theater, a criminally under-attended event that included rockin’ renditions of “Cinderella,” “The Witch,” “Have Love Will Travel” and other cult hits from the band’s 1960s heyday. Singer-keyboardist Jerry Roslie, sax player Rob Lind and guitarist Larry Parypa remain from the classic lineup, joined by local rock vets Freddie Dennis on bass and Ricky Lynn Johnson on drums. And now one of Tacoma’s most enduring and influential rock bands has recruited one of the groups it influenced, seminal grunge band Mudhoney, for a Feb. 2 date at Seattle’s Showbox at the Market. Doors will open at 7 p.m. that day, and you will have to be 21 and older to get in, unlike the Tacoma show. Tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 day of show, and you can score some by calling 1 (888) 929-7849 or visiting www.showboxonline.com.

(Russ Coffey), while Sir Toby Belch (Cliff Peddicord) holds his ground. By John Larson jlarson@tacomaweekly.com

Just in time for the holidays, Lakewood Playhouse presents “Twelfth Night” by William Shakespeare. Like other romantic comedies penned by the bard, this one centers on mistaken identity. Viola (Maggie Lofquist) is shipwrecked and loses contact with her brother Sebastian (Alex Smith), who she believes to be deceased. Much gender switching and ribald humor marks this Christmas classic. The play begins with a scene that could be a modern American household. A couple is preparing for guests for the holidays. A Christmas tree sits on the stage. The lights above are green and red, bathing the floor with the colors of the season. Clifford Peddicord does a good job as Sir Toby Belch, in all his drunken debauchery. He is over the top, as this character demands. He and Sir Andrew (Russ Coffey) get some audience participation going when they ask ladies to dance during one scene. So, any female customers in the front row, be prepared for a brief time on the dance floor. Kait Mahoney does a fine job in the role of Antonia. The play starts with her as a gracious hostess, eagerly welcoming people to her home. Later she brings the bold, aggressive nature of the character to life. Her sword fighting scenes add a useful element of action to the play. Ian Lamberton steals the show as Malvolio, the uptight, straitlaced head servant in the household of Lady

Olivia (Angelica Duncan). His prim and proper approach has made him a target of the cruel humor of Sir Toby, Sir Andrew and Maria (Deya Ozborn), who play a cruel trick to make him think Olivia is secretly in love with him. Lamberton does some fine character development, transforming Malvolio from the lower-class servant into an ambitious dandy who thinks he is refined enough to marry into the upper crust. The props are brought on and off stage throughout the play by the cast. Dixon King, the prop master, has prepared them well for the task. Kudos to costume designer Marcie Hagerman. All of the characters looked very good in their outfits. The best of all was Malvolio when he appeared in his yellow tights with the black straps. Antonia looked great in her mostly black outfit. The play has some brief scenes of men placing their hands upon women. It may be a bit too risqué for young children, although much of the more adult nature of the dialogue would likely go over their heads. “Twelfth Night” runs through Dec. 2.

P Cooper From page B1

Orianthi on guitar does Jimi Hendrix like Jimi Hendrix, so we just let her go. It’s really fun to do, and it’s a tribute to these guys. TW: How did you guys all start hanging out? Alice: It was one of those things where we’d show up at the Rainbow every night, on the Sunset Strip. We all lived in that area. John would only come in when he would fight with Yoko. Part of his Lost Weekend (18 months during which Lennon and Yoko Ono were separated, in 1973 and 1974) was Hollywood Vampires. Keith Moon was there every night, of course. I’ve always said that 30 percent of what you heard about me or Iggy or Michael Jackson, even, is true. Everything you’ve ever heard about Keith Moon is true, and you’ve only heard about a 10th of it. We would sit there and wait to see if he was gonna be Adolf Hitler that night or if he was gonna be the Queen of England or if he was gonna be a French maid. Keith would show up, and the party started right then. It was just sort of a clubhouse. Jim Morrison dies at 27 and everybody’s shocked. And I’m sitting there going, “I can’t believe he made it to 27.” Anybody that knew Jim Morrison, it’s amazing that he got to 27 years old. The guy was

the most self-destructive human being on the planet. But we loved him. TW: I remember someone being interviewed saying people would throw drugs onstage back then. And while most musicians would keep them for later, Jim would do them all right then. Alice: Yeah, he didn’t have any boundaries, really. Once again, that killed him. That was something I learned from those guys; that is the fact that you can’t live your character. Jim Morrison was trying to be Jim Morrison all the time, and Jimi Hendrix was trying to be Jimi Hendrix all the time, and Keith Moon was trying to be Keith Moon. It killed ‘em. I had to learn that Alice Cooper is a character I play. … As soon as that show is over, Alice is gone. I don’t play him again for another 24 hours. TW: Was that something you had to learn the hard way? Alice: Once you get up in the morning and have a couple of beers, and you throw up, and it’s blood ... that’s when God’s telling you, “That’s it! Party’s over. Either you’re gonna live or die. It’s your choice right now.” Basically, a doctor said the same thing. He says, “Look, you can keep drinking. I give you another month. Or you can stop drinking and do 20 more albums.” And really that was no choice for me. TW: What is it like on

the road for you now versus then? Alice: I never smoked cigarettes, and I haven’t had a drink in 30 years, and I’m happily married. You know, I don’t have any stress in my life at all, so that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I can get up and do 28 songs and feel great. I’m very fortunate to be physically in good shape. TW: But your one addiction is, apparently, golf. Alice: Luckily, I don’t think that can kill you – unless you’re playing behind some of my guitar players, who hit the ball everywhere. I can play every day. TW: On tour do you make a point to stop at all the local places? Alice: On the last tour, we did 100 cities around the world. I played 75 times. When I get into town, the guys from Callaway (Golf Company) pick me up, and we go to the golf course. We’re done by noon. I get back to the hotel, then the rest of the day is just gettin’ ready for the show. TW: What inspired you to do “Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” a sequel to one of your most iconic albums? Alice: I was gonna work with (producer) Bob Ezrin … and he mentioned to me that it was the 35th anniversary. I said, “Let’s not do a sequel. Let’s just give Alice another nightmare.” TW: Were you apprehensive? Alice: If we didn’t write 12 or 13 great songs, I wouldn’t have wanted to do it. But when I’m working with Bob Ezrin, we kind of bring out the worst in each other, and I loved every song on the album. We used people we shouldn’t have used at all. Every time somebody said, “You can’t use Ke$ha.” Well, that makes me go, of course I’m gonna use Ke$ha. I told Ke$ha, “‘Tik Tok’ and all

EDDIE HASKELL? Cooper said that one of the weirdest rumors he’s heard about himself was that he played Eddie Haskell on “Leave It To Beaver.”

the dance stuff, forget that.” You’re the devil now. TW: Of course, you hooked up with some of the guys from the original band. What was it like working with them again? Alice: We got together for the Hall of Fame show. And, of course, Glen (guitarist Buxton) was passed away, Steve Hunter came up and played for him. It was like we hadn’t missed a beat in 25, 30 years. So when we got ready to do that album I said I want each one of the guys remaining in the band to write a song with me. (Lead single) “I’ll Bite Your Face Off ” – (drummer) Neal Smith and I wrote that together with Bob – ended up being one of the better songs on

the album. TW: There’s a lot of apocryphal stories and legends about you. Of course, everyone knows about the supposed chicken sacrificing and all that stuff. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve heard about yourself over the years? Alice: Somebody thought I was Eddie Haskell from “Leave It to Beaver.” (Editor’s note: Google it.) And I’m going, “Does anybody remember what Eddie Haskell looked like, with red hear and freckles? We don’t look anything alike. Yet, that would not die. Where it came from was somebody said, “What were you like as a kid?” And I said, “I was a regular Eddie Haskell.”

Every city I went into there was a new rumor. I’d go into a city, and the ASPCA was there and they’d go, “You’re not allowed to set fire to any German shepherds tonight.” And I’d go, “What are you talking about?” Back then there was no Internet, so everything was urban legend. An eightfoot snake would become a 30-foot snake, and I didn’t just have it onstage. It ate somebody in the audience. And people were more than willing to believe anything about Alice Cooper because of the way Alice looked. Believe me, I nurtured that. TW: Then the Internet ruined it. Alice: Yeah, now you actually have to do it.

THE BAND. Big Wheel Stunt Show is: Evan Nagle on guitar and Justin Gimse on drums, bassist Jake Melius out of frame. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

A lot of great Northwest rock bands have Christmas songs. Pearl Jam has “Let Me Sleep (It’s Christmas Time).” Harvey Danger has “Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas.” Tacoma’s Sonics and Fabulous Wailers put their cynical spin on the holidays with “Don’t Believe in Christmas” and the Dylan-esque “Christmas Spirit,” respectively. To that tradition we can now add the rising stars of Big Wheel Stunt Show. The Tacoma power trio – singerguitarist Evan Nagle, singerdrummer Justin Gimse and bassist Jake Melius – will play Jazzbones Saturday in support of Seattle’s allfemale AC/DC tribute band, Hell’s Belles. Then, soon after, they’ll release a downloadable holiday cut called “Fireball.” You know – Fireball? Rudolph’s homie-turnedhater from the classic 1964 TV special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?” Hey, do yourselves a favor and YouTube it, Scrooges! “Fireball grew up a little rougher after that,” Gimse says, “to the point where he leaves Christmas Town to go find out what else he can do.” “LINCOLN”

He outlines a musical “Rudolph” sequel in which Fireball shacks up with a reindeer hottie named Suzy. “They’re both kind of rejects,” he explains. But that doesn’t stop Santa from enlisting their help when he’s suddenly down a couple of sleigh pullers one Christmas Eve.

But, in a twist that would make the Teamster proud, Fireball initially declines, negotiating terms that get all his underemployed reindeer brethren into the holiday rotation. “He saves Christmas in a different way,” Gimse explains. “Not for personal glory, but to get these other reindeer a shot at it every year. It’s just a quick kind of poppy Beach Boys and Grand Funk (Railroad) type tune.” The band will debut “Fireball” during a Christmas-themed gig at Seattle’s Sunset Tavern on Dec. 22. But fans will be able to download the new cut on iTunes earlier, after Dec. 1. This weekend, the trio will showcase the infectious rock fury of “Wonderful Life,” its newest album. It was recorded at Conrad Uno’s Egg Studios, a place that produced some of the seminal recordings of Mudhoney, the Posies and Presidents of the United States of America. It was released in July. And though it’s not a live album, it’s the first of Big Wheel’s three discs to capture the manic energy of their live shows. Some credit goes to producer Kurt Bloch, a veteran of Seattle rock bands the Fastbacks and Young Fresh Fellows. “I don’t know how the energy got captured,” Nagle says. “I don’t know if we can explain it. But the sessions

were just so chill. Kurt and us, we were really in tune with everything. He was all about trying different stuff that he’s never done before (with) mic-ing and stuff like that.” Big Wheel’s sound is raucous and old-school, informed by such titans as The Who and Led Zeppelin. And like their idols they’ve now tackled a staple of classic-rockdom: The concept album. “Wonderful Life” follows its main character from birth to death, with a possible alien abduction along the way. “The middle is where the trippy part comes in,” says Nagle, alluding to “The Landing/The Lights,” a cut that features Darrell Fortune – founder of online radio show Northwest Convergence Zone – as a freaky, otherworldly being. “The question we didn’t answer (is) does this guy get abducted by aliens?” Gimse said. “Is it angels? Is it demons? What is it?” He adds, “There’s nothing about anal probes or anything like that. It is true. You can overuse the anal probe.” Big Wheel Stunt Show will play the 9 p.m. show on Saturday, not Hell’s Belles earlier all-ages show. Tickets $12 in advance, $15 day of show; 253-396-9169 or www.jazzbones.com for further details. After Jazzbones, fans can next see Big Wheel Stunt Show putting its unique stamp on Prince as the band takes part in the 10th annual double album Christmas Benefit Show, held by Seattle’s Tractor Tavern on Dec. 15. The event will also feature Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Kim Virant and others doing cuts from Prince’s 1987 classic, “Sign O’ the Times.” Big Wheel will tackle track No. 2, “Play in the Sunshine.” Proceeds from the $10 ticket price will benefit musicians’ safety net organization, MusiCares. The trio will be back in Tacoma for the city’s alcohol-free New Year’s Eve celebration First Night.
