Puyallup Tribe mourns the loss of revered elder

Princess Promenade puts Daffodil Festival 2013 into full swing

By Matt Nagle & Kate Burrows news@tacomaweekly.com

The Puyallup Tribe of Indians is mourning the loss of tribal elder Frances “Judy” Wright, who passed away quietly on Feb. 1. A wake was held Feb. 5, and her funeral on Feb. 6 at the Puyallup Tribal Youth Center. Wright was laid to rest at Willard Cemetery. Active in the tribe for much of her adult life, Wright met and made friends with countless people across Western Washington and beyond. From her time on the Puyallup Tribal Council to her years as Puyallup Tribal historian, Wright seemed to make a warm and lasting impression on everyone she met. Puyallup Tribal Councilmember Bill Sterud knew Wright his whole life. “She was a super, class act lady,” he said, “a courageous, moral Native woman who took her values and convictions to another level. Judy was a true warrior woman.” Born July 7, 1939, to Alice and Frank Conway, Wright spent her childhood surrounded by her family X See WRIGHT / page A10

T

he Princess Promenade on Feb. 2 marked the start of activities for the 80th annual Daffodil Festival. Girls from 24 high schools around Pierce County gathered at the Sharon McGavick Conference Center at Clover Park Technical College for the event. The girls, all high school seniors, were selected through a process at each of their schools. Each princess was led into the ballroom by a representative of the Daffodil Festival and a teacher of their choosing from their respective high schools. Every princess was presented with a sash, tiara and Golden Daffodil necklace. The tapping ceremony was done, with each girl tapped on the shoulders with a ceremonial sword and proclaimed an official Daffodil Princess. The selection of the Daffodil Queen will come at a ceremony on March 8 at Tacoma’s Life Center. The Princess Promenade marks the start of 10 months of the princesses serving county residents in many capacities, including participating in parades around the Northwest. They will appear at more than 220 public events in Pierce County during their reign. The theme for this year’s activities is “The Magic of Music.” Tara Harris is the princess from Lincoln High School. She is the daughter of Trace and Andrea White. Harris has a grade point average of 3.22, takes advanced placement classes and is on the tennis team. She is enrolled in Lincoln Center, a program that has students spend extra time on academics at school evenings and Saturdays. She is involved in Pro Start, a culinary training program. She has completed more than 250 hours of volunteer work, is a lifeguard at a YMCA and a group leader for Kids Night Out. Competing for the title of Daffodil Queen is getting Harris out meeting new people. “I am really stepping out of my comfort zone,” she said. “I am glad I am doing this.”

WHAT’S RIGHT WITH TACOMA

Tacoma law enforcement has new tool to catch crooks By Kathleen Merryman The jerk who prowled your car last year probably couldn’t tell an algorithm from an avocado. Have algorithms got a surprise for him! They’re Tacoma Police Department’s hottest new crime-fighting partners, and they are as heartless as they are relentless. TPD is rolling with the PredPol predictive policing program. The software feeds crime data into a computer program seething with hungry algorithms. They chew that data, extracting every bit of time, place, method and offense out of it. When they are done, they spit all that info onto a Google map of hot spots of illegal activity. They divide the map into 500-foot-by500-foot squares and label each with a letter. “A” designates the hottest hot spots. “Z” is crime-pristine. At turnout for each shift, police share that map with officers heading X See CRIME TOOL / page A10

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

10 and Court A 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 continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

The name Lambretta is legendary in scooter circles, with its heritage of innovation and style dating back to 1922. That is when Ferdinando Innocenti moved to Rome from his native Pescia to make the motorized two-wheelers he named Lambrettas, after the small river Lambro. Innocenti revolutionized the industry with a new feature: steel tubing rather than solid bars as a way to create stronger and lighter frames. That has since become standard in the industry. Innocenti moved his operation to Milan, which had become the industrial center of Italy, to expand his operation. The Milan operation employed about 6,000 workers during the 1930s. When war came to Europe, the factory switched to producing military vehicles. With the coming of peace in 1945, the factory resumed production of what would become known as motor scooters, low-cost, no-frills motorized transportation for the working class. Production boomed. Factories producing Lambretta designs sprung up in Spain,

India, Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Lambretta battled with Vespa for the title of “the iconic scooter� in the 1950s and 1960s, when both models became the vehicles of choice for English hipsters. The character Jimmy from the influential scooter movie “Quadrophenia (The Who)� rode a Lambretta Li 150 Series III. But success was not to last. Compact cars were flooding the market and cutting into the sale of scooters. Innocenti began making cars for BMC and eventually sold the compa-

The first licensed marijuana retail outlets aren’t expected to be up and running until December. But one Tacoma business is already capitalizing on the legalization of recreational pot use in Washington, as allowed by the passage of Initiative 502 in November. Stonegate Pizza & Rum Bar, which is located at 5419 South Tacoma Way, launched its new Vape Club on Jan. 29. It’s run in conjunction with Green Light Expo, a collective medical marijuana garden located across the street. Potential club members fill out an application and pay a nominal fee: $1 for a one-day membership, $5 for a week and $20 for a year. Then they’re allowed into the Stonegate’s upstairs lounge, where they can puff on vapor pens loaded with cannabis-infused oil. Stonegate owner Jeff Call said the Vape Club had about 80 members as of

Feb. 4. He and local pot activist Michael Schaef, who runs Green Light Expo, cited the stagnant economy as motivation to try a bold, new idea that had yet to be legally tested. “To be quite frank with you, we’re really struggling,� Schaef said, suggesting the club would boost business and create jobs. “We’re just going for it. If this doesn’t work or seem to make the city happy, we’ll try something different.� Schaef went on to explain how he and Call had navigated various loopholes in I-502, which regulates marijuana production, distribution and possession; Senate Bill 5073, which established rules for medical marijuana; and Washington’s 2005 ban on smoking in public establishments. “We don’t allow smoking of cannabis,� he said. “You can’t smoke a joint, a blunt or a pipe because of the smoke. What we do allow is vaporizing the oil.�

But customers can’t buy oil at the venue. I-502 allows for the possession of an ounce of marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana infused product in solid form or 72 ounces of marijuana infused liquid. But the Washington State Liquor Control Board has yet to license any retailers. “So you can only bring your own medicine in,� Schaef said. “Or you can come over to the Green Light – if you’re a patient, of course – and acquire your meds and bring those over there with you. “You come over here, meet with your caregiver. He gives you a token. That token will give you a hit of their oil at the bar, because you can’t purchase it.� The Stonegate is not the only South Sound establishment that has set up a private club to allow customers to use marijuana there. In December, the Olympian reported that owner Frank Schnarr was inviting pot smokers to come to Frankie’s Sports Bar & Grill in Olympia where they can join Friends of Frankie’s; after paying $10 in annual dues, members are allowed to toke on premises. Alison Holcomb, the drug policy director for ACLU Washington, addressed potential legal snags the pot clubs could face. For example, I-502 prohibits the use of marijuana in public. “Private establishments that are generally open to the public, like restaurants and nightclubs and things like that, are considered to be in view of

ny to the carmaker. The scooter plant closed in 1972 and was sold to Scooters India Ltd., which began production of its own line of two-wheelers two years later. That brand no longer makes scooters and now only makes Lambro three-wheelers. The Innocenti brand name is owned by the Fiat arm of Chrysler, which showcased its scooters in 2010 at the 125 Grand Prix. These singlecylinder, “twist and go� scooters are assembled in Taiwan, but their frame and side panels are crafted in Italy.

the general public,� Holcomb said. “so the question becomes whether or not it’s sufficiently a private event where not just any member of the public may attend.� Related to that issue is the amount being charged for club membership. Holcomb said that if a judge were to determine that dues were so cheap they essentially served as a cover charge the local marijuana clubs could be forced to shut down. The Washington State Liquor Control Board has until Dec. 1 to hash out criteria for being licensed to grow, distribute and sell marijuana. Eventually, there will be pot shops that are regulated much like the old state-run liquor stores. Pot outlets will only be able to sell marijuana products, so you won’t see pot brownies at your local grocery store. They won’t be able to sell to anyone under 21, and they won’t be able to operate within 1,000 yards of a school. Since the passage of SB 5703 in 2011, local jurisdictions have varied in their tolerance of medical marijuana dispensaries. Those and collective gardens were “intended to, essentially, be a closed system that didn’t involve commercial transactions,� Holcomb said. “What you’re seeing with some of these safe access points is a creative pushing of the envelope to fit commercial transactions into the definition of a collective garden.� Holcomb speculated that the dispensaries could be greatly impacted as the rules for pot commerce solidify. “Once the 502 retail outlets are up and running and patients have access to licensed, regulated, quality controlled marijuana in the state, will the local jurisdictions have the same tolerance toward the medical marijuana safe access points?� she wondered. A series of public forums have been held around the state to educate the public on the implementation of I-502. The next one scheduled for the South Sound will be held from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 21 at the Washington State Liquor Control Board Headquarters, 3000 Pacific Ave. S.E., in Olympia. Find a full schedule at www.liq. wa.gov. Learn more about Initiative 502 and its implementation on the Washington State Liquor Control Board’s website, www.liq. wa.gov.

A man was arrested Jan. 29 after allegedly choking his children because he was upset that they stayed up too late. Police responded to a home in the 300 block of East Wright Avenue after a neighbor called to report fighting. An officer observed two men trying to stop a third man from entering a bedroom. The third man did not comply with the officer’s orders. The officer subdued him with a taser and handcuffed him. The father is accused of choking two of his sons, ages 9 and 10, until their uncle intervened. The boys and two young girls were taken to a hospital, where staff reported possible signs of prior abuse. An infant son was removed from the home and placed with Child Protective Services. The suspect was booked on suspicion of assault of a child and resisting arrest.

William Zesbaugh has been charged with second-degree assault and malicious harassment in connection with a Jan. 28 road rage incident. The female victim and a female passenger were driving north on Pearl Street toward the ferry terminal when they allegedly cut the man off in traffic, and he followed her. The victim stopped at a stop sign and the defendant’s car rear-ended her vehicle. When she asked for his insurance information, he grabbed a steering wheel locking device. Realizing he was about to strike her, the victim held up her arm to block him. He struck her more than once before a ferry employee intervened. The defendant put the weapon back in his truck. He allegedly said to the women “I can tell you are lesbians. I should beat the crap out of you.� He fled the scene, saying “I am going to get you for this� as he passed the victim’s vehicle. Tacoma and Ruston officers saw the defendant, who was stopped at a red light, and blocked his vehicle. As he was led to a patrol car, he told an officer “I should have hit her a lot harder if I am going to get in trouble for it.� The victim went to a hospital for treatment of a deep gash several inches long on her arm. Bail for Zesbaugh was set at $10,000.

A Tacoma man has been charged with two counts of commercial sexual abuse of a minor. Alfred Anthony Clark is accused of pimping two girls, ages 16 and 17. On Jan. 23 a detective assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Innocence Lost Task Force responded to an escort ad on the Internet promoting a “two-girl special.� He arranged a meeting with the girls in a Lakewood motel. Surveillance cameras were set up. The girls arrived and agreed to have sex with the man for $210 each. Uniformed officers detained the girls. Clark was arrested in the parking lot. “We vigorously prosecute those who exploit underage girls as prostitutes,� Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Linduist said. “National and local law enforcement collaborated effectively to put together this case.�

South Tacomans can relax. They are not getting a homeless shelter. The people of South Tacoma have every reason to be wary of outfits trying to sneak homeless shelters into their neighborhood. It’s been tried by groups with no experience and no accountability. That’s why, when Catholic Community Services’ Phoenix Housing Network bought a building at 5050 South Tacoma Way, word spread like a game of telephone. People thought something called “Phoenix House� had bought the place to use as an overnight shelter. That is not the case. Phoenix Housing Network will operate as it has for a decade at St. Ann Catholic Church at South ‘G’ and 72nd streets in the South End, with no adverse effects on that neighborhood. It was so well-run that, when there was enough room, a kindergarten operated in the same building. The South Tacoma Way building will house offices for administrators and counselors. It will have a day room for families using its services, including laundry, kitchen and shower facilities and a clothing bank for its clients. It has strict rules for the five families in its eight-week transitional housing program. Kids must go to school. Parents must go to work, job training, classes or counseling. Those families stay at churches and schools throughout the county for a week at a time, moving from one to another. They are chaperoned at the churches, and never stay overnight at the headquarters. South Tacoma churches, including Visitation Catholic Church, have for years hosted Phoenix Housing families for that week, with no adverse effects. The people of South Tacoma are active stewards of their historic neighborhood, and they are right to defend against an ill-placed shelter planned by a group with no experience. Phoenix Housing Network is not a shelter, and it has a solid record of getting families housed without impacting its neighbors.

GRADUATION RATE 05*9,(:,: 7,9*,5;

The graduation rate for the class of 2012 rose to 67.6 percent – a 6 percent increase over 2011 and a 9.4 percent increase over 2010, according to preliminary data released last week. “Although we are celebrating our initial successes and the positive trend, we are not at all satisfied with our current results,� said Tacoma Public Schools Superintendent Carla Santorno. “Our work is clear – we must relentlessly pursue a more comprehensive and aligned system to get more of our students to the finish line. And we will.� The preliminary data analysis also showed students who began and ended high school in Tacoma Public Schools graduated at a far higher rate (79 percent) than students who transferred into the school district at some

point later during their high school years (50 percent). In addition, the data showed: About two-thirds of Tacoma’s high-school students receive free or reduced-price lunch – an indicator of poverty. Students of poverty graduated on time at a rate of 59 percent, while students not in poverty graduated at a rate of 80 percent, a significant 21-point difference. A gender gap was also apparent – 73 percent of females graduated on time compared to 62 percent of males. Differences in graduation rate by ethnic groups varied considerably: white (74 percent), Asian (72 percent), multiracial (63 percent), black, (59 percent), Hispanic (57 percent), Pacific islander (52 percent) and Native American (49 percent). Building differences ranged from 98 percent at Tacoma School of the Arts and 84 percent at Wilson High School to 13 percent at the Tacoma Community College Fresh Start program and 7 percent at Oakland High School, the district’s alternative school. “We are taking immediate steps to continue to accelerate the upward trend,� Santorno said. “We will be reorganizing departments and consolidating positions as part of our ongoing central office transformation to support the strategic plan goals around academic excellence, graduation and preparing students for life after school.� Current Middle School Director Krestin Bahr will lead a new “Center for K-12 Student Reengagement and Graduation Support� and transitions will begin immediately, Santorno said. When the Office of Superintendent for Public Instruction releases its final 2012 report cards on all school districts across the state later this year, the data on Tacoma Public Schools will show a 2012 graduation rate of 74 percent – significantly higher than the current data analysis shows. Last week, Pat Cummings, Tacoma’s director of research and evaluation, discovered a technical glitch that occurred when the 2012 data was uploaded and translated into the OSPI data system. Typically, Cummings said, about 200 students each year do not graduate on time and continue on another year to earn enough credits. But the data on Tacoma in OSPI’s system listed just 11 students as continuing. After working closely with the OSPI staff conducting a student-by-student review, it was discovered about 200 students coded by Tacoma as continuing were listed in the state database as students who had transferred out to other school districts. Unfortunately, Tacoma Public Schools did not identify the error in time to have OSPI correct the official record. The district has committed to work with OSPI to review how Tacoma Public Schools codes future reports to ensure the data gets accurately recorded in the state system. “It is just an unfortunate coding issue,� Cummings said. “This is a very complicated database and sometimes students are mislabeled. The bottom line is we caught the error, and we can report the true rate to the public.�

Information on graduation rates for the 2011/12 school year will soon be posted on the district website, www.tacomaschools.org, and the state website at www.k12.wa.us. If you have questions, please contact the Tacoma Public Schools Public Information Office at (253) 5711015.

Parents and Friends for Tacoma Public Schools (PFTPS), a group dedicated to strengthening the public education system, will be meeting on Feb. 20 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will take place at King’s Books, 218 St. Helens Ave. Why Tacoma changed from junior highs to middle schools and how the change has impacted education in Tacoma will be discussed. Outlining the programs currently being offered in Tacoma’s middle schools and which grades the middle schools serve are also on the agenda. “Why are the grades separated the way they are?� said PFTPS founding member Sandi Strong. “I would like to know the benefit of each model.� Is there a future for one or more junior high schools in Tacoma? What about a K-8 school or a K-2? The group plans to explore how middle schools and junior highs are the same as well as how they are different. Everyone is welcome to attend. PFTPS is a grassroots group. The membership is comprised of parents, past and present education employees, grandparents, community activists and more. PFTPS also welcomes high school and college students, civic leaders, retired school district employees and neighborhood leaders who are interested in joining. Members are expected to support the mission and attend at least two meetings per year. For more information about PFTPS, go to http://PFTPS.org or on Facebook.

Julie’s Gluten-Free Bakery is tops with healthy menu )` :[L]L +\URLSILYNLY stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Julie Kropf knows cakes. Her 33 years as a geriatric nurse proves she also knows more than a little about health. Her basket of knowledge in those two fields provides the core of Julie’s Gluten-Free Bakery in Puyallup. Julie’s Gluten-Free Bakery offers scrumptious and nutritious desserts and other baked items created from local, organic and sustainable ingredients to fit a gluten-free diet. “Our most popular are S’mores, Death by Chocolate, and School Daze. School Daze has been incredibly popular and by day three, customers were asking for it by name. It is my signature cupcake and is chocolate, peanut butter and jam.� she said. “It is a must try. Chocolate Almond Coconut, Peanut Butter Cup, and Red Velvet have also been wildly successful.� The ever-changing menu includes

gluten-free cupcakes, cookies, cakes, breads and seasonal baked goods as well as gluten-free gelato from Bottega Italianna in Green Lake. Vegans have their options too, with a full line of vegan-friendly items. A sugar-free line is in the works as well. “We’ve had many requests for sugar-free options, and while we’ve been working on the recipes, we haven’t perfected them yet,� she said. “Some think baking sugarfree, or gluten-free for that matter, is just swapping out ingredients, but it’s really much more than that. Many things change with a simple

substitution, and much trial and error is involved. We know it’s important to our customers and it’s something we’re looking to get selling soon.� Available flavors aren’t limited to chocolate or vanilla either. The bakery offers vodka coconut, lemon meringue, s’mores, peanut butter and a daily assortment of chocolate and fruit flavors. The goodie list includes pastries, breads, gelato, cupcakes, granola, croutons, wedding cakes, birthday cakes, special occasion cakes and vegan goods that can be picked up in the bakery or delivered for catering special events. The bakery’s customers have honored it with the KING 5 Evening Magazine’s Best GlutenFree Menu. The bakery is located at 16126 Meridian Ave. E., Suite #101 in Puyallup. For more information, call (253) 840-4080 or visit www. juliesglutenfreebakery.com.

WILSON RAMS PULL OFF BACK-TO-BACK UPSETS Bellarmine clinches second straight title

A

fter beating first-place Lincoln on Feb. 1, the Wilson Rams did not have long to celebrate if they wanted to cling to hope for a postseason berth. The Foss Falcons rolled in to Wilson’s gym on Feb. 4 in a familiar must-win scenario for the Rams. But the Rams responded again with a 63-56 win, as Ivy Smith scored a team-high 16 points and Alphonso Anderson added 13 points and 11 rebounds to keep their playoff chance alive. “I knew this group would struggle the first 10 games of the season, but they have embraced and learned our system the last month of the year, and I could not be more proud of their effort the last two games,” said Rams coach Dave Alwert. The focal point for the Rams was Foss all-everything guard Dezmyn Trent, who averages 28 points per game and can score from anywhere on the court. But Noah Hunthausen ignited the Falcons early, scoring 10 first-quarter points en route to 13 points on the night. Smith would keep Wilson close with seven points in the opening quarter – a sign of things to come late in the game. Trent – who was held to five first-half points – began to find his mark in the third quarter, scoring seven points to help give Foss a 50-40 lead. But Alwert called a timeout to calm down his squad, and it worked. “Our assistant coaches came up with a plan to speed up the game on both ends of the court and it got us back in the game,” Alwert said. “Give my assistants credit.” Trent picked up his fourth foul at the 2:35 mark of the third quarter, allowing Wilson to gain more confidence and quickly get back into the game. Just like he did in the opening quarter,

While they had higher goals in mind as a team, the Wilson Rams got a good glimpse of the future as they took sixth place at the state bowling tournament on Feb. 1-2 at Narrows Plaza Lanes. Sophomore Hunter Freuhling-Thomas paced Wilson’s effort by placing fifth individually with 1,177 pins, including a high score of 213 in her fourth game. “It makes me feel really good,” said FreuhlingThomas of the effort. “I learned a lot from the seniors, so I’m kind of bringing (forward) the legacy.” Freuhling-Thomas closed out the first nine frames in her fourth game, and followed that up with a score of 180 in game five – including three strikes in the 10th frame. She also tallied scores of 203 in the second game and 204 in the sixth game, finishing with an average of 196 for the day that was 30 pins higher than her season average. “She was just throwing a really consistent ball all day long,” said Wilson head coach Ken Richardson. “She really kept us in the whole thing.” Wilson senior Kayla Verone notched a score of 202 in her final individual game to help her place 25th with 1,019 pins, while fellow senior Sam Dusek had two games with a score of 188 to place 27th with 987 pins. The Rams struggled throughout the 14-game Baker format on Feb. 2, averaging a score of 152 as a team. “Usually at state things pick up, and in the past we’ve peaked at state,” said Richardson of the Rams, who were making their 10th appearance at the state meet. “For whatever reason we didn’t do that.” The Rams finished with a team score of 7,085, as Mark Morris outlasted Timberline for the title with a score of 7,694. Lincoln sophomore Miriam Cabrera – the Abes’ lone representative – put up a score of 835 in the individual competition on Feb. 1, including a high score of 181 in her final game. “It was the very last game, you just want to do good at it,” said Cabrera, who was in her first appearance at state after picking up the sport last year. “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” Stadium senior Nicole Van Orden – the Tigers’ lone representative – was impressive in placing 20th in the 4A meet, notching a high of 209 in her opening round and closing out eight of 10 frames in her final round for a 180. “As the captain, you want to try to be the best on the team,” said Van Orden, who made it to state her sophomore year but struggled after injuring her thumb. “I miss my girls, but if I can (represent) them then I’m (representing) the school alright.” Curtis, meanwhile, placed fifth as a team at the 4A meet, as senior Kate Schmidt tallied a 201 in her sixth game on Feb. 1 and placed 12th individually with 1,048 pins. Junior Sheri Hill placed 27th for the Vikings with 964 pins, while sophomore Alyssa Fraker took 34th with a score of 923. The Vikings got a high score of 203 in the 12th game of the Baker competition on Feb. 2, but settled for an average of 158 as a team on the day.

Lincoln sent six wrestlers to the finals, with 126-pounder Juan Vicente and 170-pounder Keidrick O’Bannon claiming individual titles as the Abes put up 307.5 points to claim the team title at the Narrows League Championships at Foss High School on Feb. 1-2. Vicente pinned Foss’ Joseph Wurtz early in the finals, while O’Bannon outlasted Wilson’s Chris Neiman 4-2 after pinning North Thurston’s Anthony White in the semifinals. But it was the Abes’ overall depth that was most impressive, as with the top four wrestlers in each bracket advancing to the regional meet, Lincoln had 14 wrestlers qualify. Senior captain Austin Pizarro also advanced in the 170pound bracket, pinning White in the consolation finals, while Muhammed Badji fell to Timberline’s Nico Laiuppa in the 113-pound finals and Ike Castro took runner-up at 160 pounds after being pinned by Mount Tahoma’s Austin Colburn. “All the practice has worked up to now,� said Castro of advancing to regionals. “It’s all about just staying focused during practice and during warm-ups.� The Abes’ Aliyas Fletcher later lost a tight-knit match to Timberline’s Ethan Metzger in the 182-pound bracket to claim second place.

Foss junior Jonathan Thomas headlined the Falcons’ day with an impressive 13-4 win over Lincoln’s Robert Matthews in the 138-pound finals. “All of his hard work and commitment is starting to pay off,� said Foss head coach Ron Ellis of Thomas. “He’s starting to get into a really good flow.�

W Basketball Smith took over for the Rams, pouring in seven fourth-quarter points to give Wilson the lead for good. Smith’s three-pointer with 2:48 to go sealed it for the Rams “Our guards have been great lately,� Alwert said, singling out the exploits of Montre Brown, David Jenkins and Smith. “Coach told us not to panic when we got down by double digits,� Smith said. “We just have a lot of confidence right now that we did not have earlier in the season, and we hope we still have some basketball left to play.� The Rams had pulled off an even greater upset against the Abes on Feb. 1 behind Anderson’s 15 points and Jenkins’ 11 points. “These kids went from boys to men tonight,� Alwert said after the win. “I really needed to pick my team up in the second half and put that sub-par first half behind me,� said Anderson, whose 10 thirdquarter points went a long way in contributing to the Wilson win. Tre’Shaun Fletcher, who led the Abes with 17 points on the night, picked up his fourth foul midway through the third quarter, and Wilson took full advantage of it. By virtue of the loss, Lincoln had to wait until Feb. 4 at Shelton to clinch the Narrows 3A, which they did with a 62-37 win. By Steve Mullen

LIONS WIN OVERTIME THRILLER FOR TITLE

After doing all of his damage inside the paint against Olympia, Bellarmine Prep center Lucas Meikle hit his biggest shot of the game from beyond the arc. Trailing 48-45 with three seconds left, Meikle drained a threepointer to send the game to overtime, and the Lions

From page A6

topped the Bears 59-54 in the extra period on Feb. 4 to win their first back-to-back league titles in 45 years. “This time of year you just find ways to win,� said Bellarmine Prep head coach Bernie Salazar. “Sometimes it’s this way, sometimes it’s that way. You just have to find a way.� Down 45-39 with just over a minute remaining, Isaiah Flynn nailed two three-pointers in 20 seconds to pull the Lions within 47-45 with 53 seconds left. Meikle’s game-tying trey then came after Flynn and Carson Hollyoak’s threepointers were off target earlier in the possession. But Sefo Liufau corralled Hollyoak’s miss and dished it to Meikle in the corner in front of the Lions bench, and the senior drilled it – and was fouled. Despite missing the potential game-winning free throw, the Lions had stolen the momentum heading into overtime. “I felt the release was awesome,� said Meikle, who finished with a game-high 23 points. “It just went in. That guy fell on top of me, and I made it. It was awesome. I was excited.� Hollyoak came up big for the Lions in overtime, hitting a three-pointer to make it 51-48 with three minutes left, dishing to Flynn for an easy layup on the next possession and then collecting a steal on Olympia’s ensuing possession. Meikle added two free throws to make it 55-48 with 47 seconds left, essentially sealing it for the Lions. Olympia had gotten off to a hot start in the game, jumping out to an 18-10 lead midway through the second quarter. But Mar’kese Jackson provided a spark off the bench for the Lions, getting a steal and a layup and later nailing a three-pointer to help cut it to 22-19 at the

half. The third quarter was back and forth, as Flynn’s three-pointer gave the Lions a 30-28 lead with two minutes left in the period before Olympia tied it 32-32 on a goaltend heading into the fourth. The Bears shot out to a six-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, but Meikle answered with a driving jumper after being fouled. He converted the resulting free throw to cut it to 42-39, but the Lions were then held scoreless for three minutes as the Bears again took a six-point advantage. That’s when Flynn hit the first of his clutch threes, leading to the late heroics. “We are mainly a senior team,� Meikle said. “We have a lot of experience, so we didn’t let that (deficit) rattle us. We knew what the stakes were, so we weren’t going to give up on anything. We just kept on fighting and played until the last buzzer.� Flynn added 18 points and Jackson had nine points and four steals for the Lions. Michael Naipo had 11 points for Olympia, while Brendan Leonard added 10 points for the Bears. By Jeremy Helling

W Wright

From page A1

in Firwood, Wash. “It was such a nice time,” she said in a recent interview. Much of her extended family lived on a 40-acre tribal allotment of land belonging to her greatgrandfather. Her uncles spent time farming, along with her mother, who also picked berries. In the evenings, Wright and her family spent time canning on wood stoves. “This is how we got through our winters,” Wright said in that interview. “My grandmother had a smokehouse and was always smoking salmon. People would often knock on the door and say, ‘I think your outhouse is on fire!’” Wright attended Firwood School before moving to Tacoma and attending McCarver Elementary School, Jason Lee Middle School and Stadium High School. After graduating she continued on with her schooling and became a licensed practical nurse. She went back to school to become a legal secretary, and worked in the Puyallup Tribe’s legal department, then moved on to work in the tribe’s planning office. After attending business school, she took positions at Pierce County, the gambling control board, and ultimately worked in several capacities for the tribe for the next 30 years. Wright served on the Puyallup Tribal Council from 1991-1996. She once said that while it was a great honor to serve on the council, it really was not a good fit for her because it meant she had to say “no” to people. Sterud said that

out on patrol. Because, like crime, algorithms never sleep, crime analysts update the map every three hours for the computers in every police patrol vehicle. That info, cops agree, is a good partner at a time of reduced staff. “We have taken quite a bit of reduction in line staff,” said TPD Assistant Chief Pete Cribbin. At the same time, police have cut crime. “Our goal is another 10 percent reduction in property crimes,” Cribbin said of this algorithm-enriched partnership. “When we have fewer bodies, we can use a computer formula and a best guess. It allows us to do a lot more with fewer people,” TPD Public Information Officer Loretta Cool added. Though staff cuts have been recent, Tacoma police have been working for years with data-sifting programs, like ComStat, that gather information on high-crime areas. Community liaison officers have educated neighbors and business owners on how environmental design can discourage criminals. Lose the hedge, fence off escape trails, add motion-activated lighting and you create a hostile environment for bad guys. CLOs and patrol officers have acted on studies that show that if you saturate a neighborhood with police for 20 days, the criminals, tired of cop cars showing up when they least expect them, go away. “When we have done hot-spot patrols, the crime just goes away. It doesn’t come back,” Cool said. “In my 90-block Community Based Services area, we saw a reduction in calls by 67 percent. We’ve not seen the spike come back. It has to do with how many times a criminal comes back to the same place with no luck.” The combined efforts have produced a big success. They’ve busted serial burglars, caught copper thieves and nailed car prowlers, thanks to computer leads. From 2005 through 2011, police, with a lot of citizen help, have cut property crimes by 35.6 percent and violent crimes by 23.1 percent.

TRADITION. Dedicated to celebrating tribal culture, Judy Wright loved the

Puyallup Tribe’s annual pow wow, and her joy was evident while she danced in traditional regalia.

soon after her term on council, he met up with her one day and asked what she had been doing since then. “She said, ‘Whether I’m getting paid or not, I’m still working for the tribe,’” Sterud said. That was the level of her commitment to her people. It was heading up the tribe’s Historic Preservation Department that led Wright to her true calling as tribal historian. She became a woman of vast intelligence about her tribe; her knowledge of Puyallup tribal history unparalleled among her people. Her office was filled wall-to-wall with rows of filing cabinets, stacks of books, old papers and photographs, audio and video recordings, and she knew where everything was at any time on any given tribal history subject.

Wright’s passion for her work was undeniable. She was personally determined to not let the tribe’s ancestors, its struggles and victories be forgotten, which made her work much more than just a job. “She was the backbone of the Historic Preservation Department…a very culturally significant person,” Sterud said. “She helped keep the culture alive during the tough times when she was growing up. Her hands were always in the clinic [due to her nursing background] and tribal economic development.” One of her proudest achievements was forming the Puget Sound Indian Dance Club with her mother, uncle and longtime friend Ramona Bennett. Together, they would teach

children traditional dance to help preserve and honor Puyallup tribal culture through the generations. “I don’t think anything is more important than teaching your children these things while they’re young,” Wright once said. Wright loved the tribe’s annual pow wow, and her joy was evident while she danced in traditional regalia. Another of Wright’s proud moments was her involvement in the tribe’s historic land claims settlement of 1988. This was when Wright’s research skills became invaluable to the tribe in winning its biggest land claim to date. Continuing the work her uncle Silas Cross began with former Tribal Council Chairman Frank Wright, Jr., she, along with Sterud, non-Indian historian Bob Waller and other experts provided the key evidence for the tribe to win the land claim. “She did a lot of research on what took place concerning the theft of our land,” Sterud said. Upon winning their land claim, this cleared the path for the tribe to open the Emerald Queen Casino on I-5 and to develop economically into one of the more influential and powerful Indian tribes in the nation. Sterud said Wright was an integral part of this battle and many others, “and all while she was raising her family.” Above all else and through everything in her life, for Wright it was her tribe that she held most dear and that she had so much faith in becoming all it is destined to be. She mentioned this in her final interview several months ago when she said, “The tribe has made it possible for us to have a remarkably good life, and I will always be grateful.”

“We’re getting more used to it,” Cribbin said. “It’s becoming more mainstream.” Other cities have been doing the same things, all the while looking for better software. In the Nerds & Cops section of its predpol. com website, PredPol’s software developers explained how they got into predicting criminals’ futures. “In 2005, the Los Angeles Police Department wanted to try it for themselves and engaged a group of PhD scientists – two mathematicians, an anthropologist and a criminologist – to figure out what criminals are going to do before they get started.” The scientists used software designed to predict earthquake aftershocks as the base, then added all manner of crime data. During a test of the software in Los Angeles’ Foothills Division, crimes dropped 13 percent, while they went up .4 percent in the rest of the city. In Santa Cruz, burglaries dropped 27 percent in July, 2011, compared to July 2010. Tacoma police are using the algorithms first on vehicle theft, car prowls and residential and commercial burglary. That’s where residents step up. Crime analysts Megan Yerxa and Jacqueline Shelton want residents to let them know when we get burgled or prowled. They need everyone to file a report even if the jerks get nothing but a pair of gloves. That stuff, small or large, is the information they feed to the algorithms. “The better the data is coming in, the better it is coming out,” Yerxa said. Plus, if you tell the police what the creeps took, there’s a chance you’ll get it back, especially if you have its serial numbers, Yerxa said. On patrol, officers click onto the hot boxes to find out what kind of crimes are going on, and where. With that information, they know what to look for and to up their patrols of the hot box. The ideal is to catch the criminals. Next best is to discourage them so thoroughly they scram. Who knows? On a nice afternoon, while you’re sitting on your front porch, eating an avocado salad, you might even see the crooks leaving – hounded off your street by a pack of vicious algorithms on their tail.

opens up about his childhood, career and breaking stereotypes

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

From the beginning of an interview with legendary comedian, actor, author and Jello-O pitchman Bill Cosby, it’s clear he’ll be steering the conversation. The 74-year-old icon starts in Cliff Huxtable mode, hamming it up as he answers the phone. “Hellooooooooo! Helloooooooo!” He’s in frigid Cleveland and wants to talk about the weather for a few minutes before the interview gets properly started (a funnier topic than usual since it’s the Cos.) Only a few questions get asked during an engaging, hour-long chat that covers roughly seven decades of his life. Occasionally he interrupts tangents he suspects won’t move tickets to his upcoming Feb. 10 appearance at the University of Puget Sound’s Memorial Fieldhouse in a way that recalls Hilton Lucas, the curmudgeonly protagonist from his late ‘90s sitcom “Cosby.” “Go ahead,” he interjects, gruffly. “But you better make this funny so people say, ‘Gee whiz! I wanna see him.’’” Between characteristic flashes of quirkiness he provides insight into his early career, his role as an AfricanAmerican trailblazer and how his lack of a paternal role model may have helped mold him into America’s Dad. TW: I grew up watching “The Cosby Show” and “Fat

Albert.” Loved all that stuff, but I’ve got a bone to pick. You gave my dad some of his favorite catch phrases, starting with “I brought you into this world, I’ll take you out.” BC: But I didn’t give him the one that really made me feel bad. TW: What’s that? BC: As my father said, “I brought you into this world, I’ll take you out.” Now, that I could deal with. … But then he added, “I’ll make another one that looks just like you.” Now, that got me. That got rid of anything that I thought I was worthy of. TW: Well, at least my dad didn’t use that half of it. BC: No, because I didn’t give it to him. So you should put the meat back on that bone for that part. TW: So, during your career you’ve done a number of kid-oriented projects, everything from “Electric Company” to “Fat Albert” and “Little Bill.” Why was that important to you? BC: The reason, mon frère, is my life. … My mother struggled because (his father) was there but in and out, and she loved him. And it wasn’t good. Many times people who have never met their father ... take this in a very hard way, and low self-esteem is one of the things that is a reaction because they continue to wonder if there is something really wrong with them or why they had a person that just rejected them. … In my

case, the man’s behavior was so poor … that eventually I came to believe that it was better if he did not show up at all. TW: I think I’ve seen in interviews where you mention that you and your brother ran him off at some point. BC: Oh yes! Oh yes. So, anyway, I didn’t wake up (until) I had a sixth-grade teacher – a white woman, orthodox Russian – who went to the same school as my mother. I didn’t find out until I was 42 years old that the two of them talked at this elementary school. And my mother told her to make sure to “get him” – him being me. And she did. And for the first time since, maybe, second grade I had to do my work. I had to turn things in. And I was told this is not good enough, and I began to soar. (Years later) I left Temple University, went into show business. But I still had the idea of the kind of image I wanted to present and give to kids and boys to (help them) become fathers to raise their families properly –

Roberta Flack continues the Valentine’s Day love in Tacoma with Feb. 15 show Roberta Flack in Concert 7:30 p.m. Feb. 15 Pantages Theater 901 Broadway, Tacoma $49 to $109 www.broadwaycenter.org By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Valentine’s Day is this Thursday (Feb. 14). Consider Roberta Flack’s Feb. 15 concert at Tacoma’s Pantages Theater the afterparty filled with romantic vibes sure to linger as one of soul’s most affecting voices delivers “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and other classics. And as if her own iconic repertoire were not enough, she’ll be putting her distinctive spin on a few Beatles classics, too, as featured on last year’s “Let It Be Roberta” album. Tacoma Weekly caught up with the Grammy Award-winning diva to get a better idea of what to expect next week. A bossa nova-infused cover of “In My Life,” perhaps? TW: So what made you decide to tackle the music of the Beatles? RF: When I was trying to get my chops together – my performance chops – the Beatles were all over the radio; and not just (mainstream) radio, they were all over black radio in my community, which was quite unusual. You had Elvis and then you had the Beatles, you know. And then you had all of the doo-wop, black groups and people like Clyde McPhatter and Marvin Gaye ... and early Motown started. The Beatles just stood out. The music still stands out. I don’t think there’s a better songwriter in the entire universe than Paul McCartney. And I love John Lennon. I love what John did after he left the Beatles. But I looove the stuff that Paul has done with his wife (Linda, in Wings). TW: I read that you were a neighbor of John and Yoko (at New York’s historic apartment complex, the Dakota). RF: Yeah, right across the hall. TW: What do you remember about that time? RF: Yoko still lives there. I’m still her neighbor. I still live where I lived, which is right across the hall. We share a service elevator. TW: Did you ever talk about collaborating?

PHOTO COURTESY OF ARTIST

ROBERTA FLACK

RF: I did some on (John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s) “Double Fantasy” album, but just very secretly. I just did some backgrounds. He invited me down; I went to the studio and just did a little singing. It was nothing, nothing worth mentioning. We only did one concert, and that one was at Madison Square Garden ... I sang something toward the end. I’ve forgotten what it was, a rousing John Lennon song. But I just loved him as a person and still love Yoko. I loved their work together, loved their life together as we all got a glimpse of it. I didn’t get any more of an intimate glimpse than you did, but it was interesting to me, and probably more so because I was so close. TW: Is the Beatles material you recorded a big part of your set? RF: No, I wish it was ... but I will do

APCC 15th ANNUAL NEW YEAR CELEBRATION FEATURING COLORFUL TAIWAN AND OTHER ASIA PACIFIC CULTURES.

“Hey Jude.” I will do “Here Comes the Sun.” I will do “Isn’t It a Pity.” And I do something I didn’t include on the album, which is a medley. It didn’t start out as a medley, but for live performances it wound up being a medley of “Golden Slumbers” ... and (she sings) “you never give me your mooooney,” that one; and “in the end the love you maaaaake.” We do that one and have a good time. There’s so much music that I would like to do. I will be doing a lot of things people have not heard me do because I haven’t recorded them. TW: Then there are your iconic hits. People point to your version of “Killing Me Softly” as the definitive version of that song. But other people have tackled it over the years. What’s your favorite version besides maybe your version?

RF: I’ve heard it in at least nine different languages, before the Fugees. I heard it in Portuguese. I heard it in Japanese ... in some Indian dialect. I think when you get a song like “Amazing Grace,” which I’ve heard sung all over the world ... everybody recognizes that (hums melody) whether it’s sung in Chinese or not. And I think the same thing is true about (singing) “strumming his pain with my fingerrrrrs.” Everybody recognizes that melody. That’s how I got to the song. I didn’t record it first. (Note: Listen to her tell the story of how she came to record her version of the song online at www.tacomaweekly.com/dailymashup.) TW: Something I didn’t realize until recently was that in your early career you got a boost from Clint Eastwood. (He included “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” in his 1971 directorial debut, “Play Misty For Me.”) RF: That was the ultimate boost. I mean, Clint Eastwood doing anything, but especially something that says I like it – listen to it – is a wonderful kind of support. He had been driving down the highway, he said, and almost went into the ditch when he heard “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” which he absolutely loved, and still loves. He was so moved by that that the movie “Sudden Impact,” where he says (in a gravelly voice) “make my day,” he wrote a song for me to sing … called “This Side of Forever.” He wrote it, and Lalo Schifrin produced it. TW: I’m gonna have to go back and watch that one again for that scene. RF: It’s not a great song, I don’t think – especially the way Lalo produced it. I think it deserved to be a little slower, a little more sentimental. But I was just like a studio singer at that point. I had to try to let myself get to that so they could tell me what they wanted me to do. TW: I kind of wondered what your take is on how a lot of the R&B singers nowadays are using Auto-Tune, and how they’re touched up in the studio to the point that you can’t really tell whether they can sing. RF: Well, I don’t think it matters. I used to, when Akon came out with it ... but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I think it’s all a part of the hip-hop evolution. I think there are some people who are so clever with it that you wouldn’t even know that they use Auto-Tune. It doesn’t matter. Auto-Tune is not something that I would use to tune. But for the sound, why not?

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!

Sister Cities set to host 11th annual film festival MOVIES IN THE SISTER CITY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

It is film flam time in the 253 with the 11th annual Sister Cities International Film Festival set to run weekly until April 4 at Proctor District’s landmark Blue Mouse Theatre. It will showcase films from Kitakyushu, Japan; Kiryat-Motzkin, Israel; Cienfuegos, Cuba; Fuzhou, China; Gunsan, South Korea; Alesund, Norway; Taichung, Taiwan; Biot, France and El Jadida, Morocco. Every week will bring a new film from a country where Tacoma has a sister city relationship. “This annual film festival helps promote Tacoma’s global connections,� said Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “It also provides us great opportunities to get out and enjoy one of Tacoma’s unique neighborhood business districts. We are pleased that Tacoma’s historic Blue Mouse Theatre will continue to host this important educational and cultural event that celebrates our sister cities.� After its inaugural year in 2004, Sister Cities International gave Tacoma’s film festival the Sister Cities International Culture and Innovation Award. Since then, more than 1,200 people have attended the festival each year. Tacoma currently has 12 sister cities, the newest of which is Biot, France. Each has supporters in this area on a volunteer sister city committee that selects a film for the festival. Some committees work with consulates to select a film from the region, while others screen several films and select the entry themselves. Since some countries and committees are more active in the festival than others, not every sister city is screening a film. Vladivostok, Russia; Davao City, Philippines and George, South Africa do not have films in the festival this year but the ones that are being screened promise to be top notch. “These are all really big movies in their home countries,� said Debbie Bingham, coordinator of the festival. The movie from Taiwan this year, “Cape No. 7,� for example, is the third best-selling movie in Taiwan. The movie from Morocco, “Boiling Dreams,� is a documentary and the filmmaker will be in attendance. The Japanese movie, “What the Snow Brings,� has won many awards, including acceptance into the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival as well as being the winner of the audience choice, best actor and best director honors at Tokyo Sakura Grand Prix. The Tacoma Sister Cities program seeks to promote cultural and political diversity, and encourage international exchanges between business, governments, health, arts, cultural and educational organizations. The film festival is extremely popular to local filmgoers and tickets for the 200-seat movie screenings often sell out well in advance, so advanced purchases are recommended. Tickets are $10 each or season tickets are $80 and available at the Blue Mouse Theatre, North 26th and North Proctor streets, at Pacific Northwest Shop, 2702 N. Proctor St. or online at www.sistercityfilmfest.org.

As they hike through the mountains and hills of the Alps, we learn more about both characters, their personalities and their lives. Meanwhile, Elsa’s mother notices that her daughter is missing, and calls the police to begin searching for her missing daughter.

Author R.J. Palacio will appear at a free book talk and signing at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at the Main Library, 1102 Tacoma Ave. S.

Kathleen@tacomaweekly.com

August Pullman has a good deal to teach us about being different, about being kind, about being loved and being accepting. And he’s coming to Tacoma. August – Auggie to his friends – is the boy at the heart of Tacoma Reads Together’s 2013 selection, R. J. Palacio’s “Wonder.� Auggie is 10 when the young adult novel opens. He’s been home-schooled all his life and is about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Academy in New York. He is, he tells us, an ordinary boy in all the ordinary ways – save one. He was born with a genetic condition that deformed his face. “I know ordinary kids don’t make other kids run away screaming in playgrounds,� he tells us. “I know ordinary kids don’t get stared at everywhere they go.� “Wonder� is the story of the school year during which his classmates figure out how to see him as a precious – and ordinary – friend. “I think it’s a great fit for this community,� said Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strick-

land after she announced the choice. “We have people who volunteer for us and don’t give up on us, and we have a lot of kind and compassionate people in this city. Some of us who are blessed often take what we have for granted. ‘Wonder’ gives you a sense of gratitude but also reminds you that a very simple act of kindness can go a long way.� Book lover Erik Hanberg, Tacoma Public Library Director Susan Odencrantz and library Community Relations Manager David Domkoski suggested “Wonder� to Strickland, who fell for it on her fast first read. “This is a young adult book, which is good,� she said. “We want to try to engage young people in Tacoma Reads.� In a city as ethnically and economically diverse as Tacoma, the storyline about differences, and about the power of being kinder than you have to be, should resonate with students, especially those going through the tough middle school

but mostly to have a choice about one’s life in a job or a career. From page B1 TW: You’ve mentioned early on, when you were first getting started, you didn’t have African-American role models to look at for what you did. BC: In those days ‌ coming into the Civil Right Movement, it was still media and people looking at us and asking what we wanted. “What is it you people want?â€? We were not people who were looked at as similar. ‌ The way to racism is to take away the similarity; the fact that we are human beings, and we may be different in terms of this word that is so misused now – culture. (In 1962) Dick Gregory is funny, so Dick is making big headlines. And they’re writing (about) me because I’m the second one coming. That’s very odd. In the whole of the New York Times and (Northeastern papers) I am the second one of all the “Negro male comedians.â€? That’s what show biz is looking like. I have decided I am not going to work like Dick; I’m not going to do “back of the busâ€? and “get out of the cotton field,â€? that kind of thing, although I’d written some powerful pieces that were absolutely wonderful.

years. Not that they are the only people facing those issues. “We all want to be loved,� Strickland said. “We want to fit in, and we want to be respected.� Auggie’s story shows us both sides of that struggle. It’s told not only from his perspective but also from his friends’. When Auggie tells it, he notices “the look� of people shocked on their first sight of him. He winces at the quick lowering of the eyes followed by “the shiny smile.� When his friends tell it, they’re trying to figure out how to respond to a person who seems so unlike anyone they have met before. The story covers a long school year, and Strickland is betting that when it is over, she won’t be the only Tacoman who cried. In its 11th year, Tacoma Reads has brought the community together to discuss books including Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,� Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird,� Julia Alvarez’ “How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accent� and Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried.�

Why have two guys, and the only two guys of their race, doing the same material? Which, by the way, when you’re looking at Richard Pryor and his career, Richard says the same thing. Richard is copying me and doing what I’m doing, and then realizes, “Why have two of the same?â€? TW: Through what you’ve done, you’ve been able to change perceptions through everything from “I Spyâ€? to “The Cosby Show.â€? I wonder what your thoughts were on the kinds of stereotypes you helped break through. BC: When I entered (Hollywood) this was huge because “I Spyâ€? was major, major TV. The question would come up: “Do you feel that you have the weight of your race on your shoulders?â€? Now that truly is a wonderful question to ask, but they never put any depth into it. In other words, if you know that much about your United States of America do some research and write an article about it as opposed to waiting until somebody gets the offer and then to ask them how they feel? I knew that what I wanted to do was put a fellow on that screen, in character, who along with ‌ the fact that he was a Rhodes scholar, the fact that he spoke six languages — I wanted to make him on TV appear to be the

antithesis of the stereotype that would go with a fellow that was that intellectual. And so I brought Alexander Scott to talk, walk, and know things and have a sense of humor. Then (co-star) Bob Culp’s character did the same thing, and it was wonderful because we became two guys that people really liked. TW: Of all the different things you’ve gotten to do over the years, what is your most fun project? And is there anything you look back and maybe wish you hadn’t done? BC: Well, the obvious (fun thing) is the writing and the performing. (He considers.) There were some writers I had to deal with on my last sitcom that I wish I had just taken and thrown them off the set forever. And then, No. 2 was when I made (1987 comedy) “Leonard Part 6.â€? TW: I thought that might come up. BC: There was an executive or a producer on the set. (He) said to me in certain ways this is my movie and you will do what I will tell you to do. ‌ When I believe in something I know, I would rather it be what I believe in rather than people who don’t understand what I want done, and they begin to tweak it and do things I don’t believe in. The good news is somewhere along the line (it) had become some sort of cult hit. I think the next time that it happened also was with “Fat Albertâ€? (the live-action movie.) There are just certain things there that I would not have done.

SEATTLE BOUND. Rikk Beatty (top) and Sevens Revenge will travel

north to Seattle on Feb. 23 to perform at the Skylark with other Maurice the Fish bands. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma’s Maurice the Fish Records (MTF) is taking its show on the road for its very first showcase in Seattle. Happening Feb. 23 at the Skylark in West Seattle, 3803 Delridge Way S.W., the line-up features five of the label’s most popular musicians/bands: The Rikk Beatty Band, The North Oakes Project, Amadon, Sevens Revenge and The Lush Tones (who are also organizing this showcase). Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8. Cover is $7 and you must be over 21 to enter. “You gotta share your music with people,” said Maurice the Fish co-owner Raymond Hayden. “It’s not that we’re going to stop focusing on Tacoma – we just want to branch out and share our music with other communities.” Hayden said there’s also a sort of higher calling to why MTF is eyeing Seattle’s music scene. “This is not just my opinion, but there seems to be a real sense of community among bands in Tacoma but not so much in Seattle. In the ’90s when there were bands ZERO DARK THIRTY (157 MIN, R) Fri 2/8-Mon 2/11: 2:00, 5:10, 8:15 Tue 2/12: 5:10, 8:15 Wed 2/13-Thu 2/14: 2:00, 5:10, 8:15 SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (122 MIN, R) Fri 2/8: 3:20, 6:15, 8:50 Sat 2/9-Sun 2/10: 12:45, 3:20, 6:15, 8:50 Mon 2/11-Thu 2/14: 3:20, 6:15, 8:50

like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden playing, there was a big community around it, but now that seems to have gone by the wayside. We want to help the music community in Seattle by giving a taste of what’s going on in Tacoma so we can work together more. As altruistic as that may sound, it’s the God’s honest truth. The competitiveness doesn’t have to be there; we can help each other.” Bringing people out to music venues is another plus, and Hayden says this would be perhaps less of a challenge were there more of a solid music community between Seattle and Tacoma. He cited the recent closure of the Tempest Lounge and Mandolin Café as examples of popular music spots that couldn’t keep their doors open, and he doesn’t want to see this continuing to happen. “Essentially, we want to help keep clubs from shutting their doors. By doing what we’re doing it is feeding into the foundation to breathe life into a music industry that’s at best on life support.” The Seattle showcase line-up was selected to show a range of diversity among the bands associated with MTF and among the bands that draw crowds in Tacoma. The Rikk Beatty Band – Playing a healthy dose of rock, blues, jazz, Latin, acoustic/ambient, metal and techno, Beatty and company can basically blend into just about any venue and listeners of all ages and types. One of the Northwest’s most technically proficient and inspiring guitarists, Beatty is a wonder to behold onstage. He and his band mates are in the process of rebranding themselves to take the band to the next level and

are working on a compilation album for which they just shot a promo video. The North Oakes Project – One of MTF’s newer bands, The North Oakes Project is a collection of five acoustic musicians including former solo artist Heidi Vladyka on vocals. These are truly creative souls who like their music real, raw and in the moment. “When a group of people get together and just play, it creates this feeling and a story,” Vladyka said. “‘Raw’ is the only way I can describe what we play.” The band is currently in the process of rebuilding and recording. Amadon – Having just released their new, and third, EP “Step into the Light,” singer/guitarist Calen Tackett and his Amadon band mates are in the process of preparing for a string of spring/summer tour dates. They’re working very hard on developing cool new merchandise as well as a weekly band podcast. Give Amadon a listen and your hard rock itch will be thoroughly scratched! Sevens Revenge – This outstanding group of rockers continue to receive accolades for their new album “Distortion of Reality” and recently signed with Tin Star Records to take things up a notch. The band is busy writing tons of new material for their next album and are getting ready to shoot a music video with fellow MTF artist Danielle Egnew. The Lush Tones – Recent MTF signees, The Lush Tones give a rowdy stage performance to match their funky, rockin’ songwriting. This three-piece outfit is currently finished mixing their new EP and are in the process of setting tours with a possible gig at Sturgis.
