CHURCH FIRE Golgotha Baptist Church stricken again by fire

ready. set.grow. Princess Promenade kicks off 2014 Daffodil Festival season

By Kathleen Merryman

Firefighters tackled, then deputies arrested a man found lurking in the ruins of Golgotha Baptist Church Tuesday. Wednesday, prosecutors charged Bryan Douglas Brock, 34, of Tacoma, with burglary in the second degree. In what appears to be a second arson, fire consumed what remained of Golgotha Baptist Church in Midland on Monday morning. Tony Houser was the first to notice smoke coming from the church at 1611 E. 85th St., at the intersection of Portland Avenue and 85th Street East. He called 9-1-1 at 9:45 a.m. then noticed a man behaving oddly. “There was a guy walking, walking down the road, stopping, and turning around and looking,” he said. “I let the firemen know what I saw.” The fire, he said, was a rotten blow for the congregation, as flames took hold in a room above a portico facing Portland Avenue. That side of the church, which included the

ven a slick of snow on the ground couldn’t keep a bumper crop of new Daffodil Princesses from making their first appearance as a court for the 2014 festival year, at the Daffodil Festival Princess Promenade on Friday, Feb. 7. Serving as the official kick-off for the upcoming season of public appearances and community events and service, Promenade also marks the official presentation of each princess with the tiara, sash and golden daffodil necklace that they will wear throughout the year. The event found itself in a new venue this year at Puyallup’s Pioneer Park pavilion, which was brightly decorated with glowing golden daffodils and cheerful garden gnomes, in keeping with the 2014 theme, “Ready. Set. Grow,” for the 81st festival year. For one of the Princesses, Ji Larson from Lincoln High School, the fact that the festival already has such a legacy behind it is a great responsibility. “There have been tons of people whose lives have been touched by this festival. Personally it is an honor to be a part of it and carry on the spirit of Daffodil.” Princess Kayla McElligot, from Fife High School, concurs: “Knowing that there have been princesses representing Pierce County for 81 years is humbling…You know that you have been given this title and you have to honor it with grace and dignity, and represent your high school and community just as others have done before you.” Each of the young ladies was escorted by a member of the Daffodil Festival and their Educator of the Year, an educator nominated by each princess from their respective high school as outstanding in his or her field. As a part of the evening’s festivities, Pierce County Council Member Joyce MacDonald read a resolution passed by the council declaring the princesses as Official Ambassadors of Pierce County. The governing body has done so for the past two years of Daffodil royal courts, as well, on behalf of the positive effect the festival has on the promotion and representation of the county at festivals around the Pacific Northwest. A presentation by the Pierce County branches of the YMCA included the gift to each of the princesses of a yearlong membership, in appreciation of the partnership the festival has forged with the organization in recent years. The event itself was a discernible product of the Festival’s inherent connection to its supportive community, with appetizers and dessert provided by the Adriatic

You are on a roller coaster ride as Mercury rewinds and some of your plans may fall through or people may not be reliable. Work or business projects may not coordinate and acting on impulse could cause stress. Try to locate and keep track of receipts and paperwork. Enjoy the fresh, crisp air.

An important relationship could reach a critical peak this week. The full moon today lets you see your friends and loved ones for who they really are. You have desired change for some time and now you have the chance to make this dream of stability happen. Take a step in the opposite direction. Don’t give into self-doubt.

Organize your home or office for positive work results. You may experience mechanical malfunctions as a result of Mercury in retrograde. Your patient determination will win over that hard to deal with person. Working as a team can make better progress. Respect and listen to your heart.

You may need to go with the flow to make your daydreams come true. New opportunities help you pull back in order to move forward. With Mercury in retrograde, your patience and stamina may be tested. Choose what is right or what is wrong for you. Take your time and do it right.

There is a possibility that you make a change that could surprise someone. A plan or project may not go as planned as Mercury rewinds. Interviews or meetings may be canceled. Keep track of those important documents, receipts and paperwork. Do your homework first and think carefully before making any moves.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) Today’s powerful full moon reveals a special valentine. See the happiness in your everyday life. Opposites are at play bringing fun as well as disappointment. When things get too much, retreat to work out your next move. Enjoy your popularity with good intentions and spread joy.

Today’s full moon brings good times with friends and family. As Mercury is in retrograde, you may notice crazy times at work. Challenges with your boss or co-worker will escalate and then subside. Your fondest dreams and fantasies may be on your mind lately. Stay calm and keep smiling.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) This week could be socially challenging. Today’s full moon helps you recognize your responsibilities to others. You come to a common ground as a result of a disagreement. As Mercury rewinds this week, you may experience electronic problems. Back up your important files to avoid losing crucial information.

A quick, tempting getaway probably won’t resolve your issues. You may find yourself more in touch with repressed feelings as Mercury rewinds this week stirring up old emotions. The full moon today may be a special time for you and your partner. Take time to decompress.

Love is in the air today during this special full moon today. You are stimulated by a cuttingedge wavelength. This lively energy helps you find answers and make meaningful connections. Creative opportunities arise. We are the company we keep so stick with like-minded people.

Wishful thinking may get in the way of progress. Beware of misunderstandings with your partner or relative, as Mercury is in retrograde. Try to sense the needs and feelings of others. Appreciate the little things that make the bigger picture. Make some time for peace and quiet to help you focus.

Watch your budget and avoid spontaneous spending. Questions about money and wild ideas are in the air. Confusion this full moon could distract you from taking good care of yourself. Be loving and giving but don’t sacrifice everything or play the martyr. Your desires may prove reckless.

Both packages are four-year levies totaling $96 million a year and were passing with about 64 percent of the vote, according to early election returns. While more ballots will be tallied until the election is finalized Feb. 25, it is unlikely that the

City News

7th and Tacoma 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 holeyness, 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.

CITIZENS FOR TACOMA, NOT TRASH CONTINUES TNT *3,(5<7 A group of Tacoma residents is continuing its effort to stop The News Tribune from distributing advertisement bundles in orange plastic bags by cleaning them from the streets and yards in their neighborhood and filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau over what the group considers littering. The City of Tacoma has posted information about advertising bundles to aid residents in their efforts by referring them to the TNT’s customer service department and stating that the bundles are not considered litter under city code.

CITY COUNCIL GREENLIGHTS MLK ROUTE Tacoma City Council unanimously approved a recommendation to route the light rail expansion from the Theatre District station on Commerce to Stadium Way and up then down Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The recommendation now goes to the Sound Transit Board for final approval and further study. The expansion would add 2.3 miles of track to the Link system that already runs 1.6 miles from the Tacoma Dome station to Commerce Street’s station near Ninth Street. The recommended route would run from Commerce to Stadium Way then on to North First Street and continue to Division Avenue and turn left to Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Sound Transit maps call it the A1/B1 route. The route received the most community support and is the most straightforward, although it will mean construction on Stadium Way, which just reopened following being redesigned and refinished. City planners are looking at how the trains will impact traffic in the area, while the effort to raise money for the project continues as well. Estimates put the cost at about $165 million, but the budget estimated that the work would cost $150 million, which will be split three ways among federal grants, local funding and Sound Transit dollars. The local dollars will likely come from in-kind services from the city, vehicle licensing fees, contributions from institutions, sales taxes, parking fees and possibly a Local Improvement District tax on property owners. ;(*64( ;,(*/,9 */(9.,+ >0;/ */03+ 9(7, On Feb. 7, Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Meredith Powell, 24, with two counts of child rape in the third degree and communication with a minor for immoral purposes. She engaged in sexual conversations and activity with three of her students. The defendant pleaded not guilty and will be released on her personal recognizance. The defendant is a math teacher at Lincoln High School in Tacoma. On Jan. 17, one of the victims went to the defendant’s classroom instead of attending the school’s Martin Luther King Day assembly. The two kissed and engaged in sexual activity. A few days after the assembly, the defendant again engaged in sexual activity in her classroom with another victim. They kissed and the defendant performed oral sex on the victim. Between the period of Jan. 17, 2014 and Jan. 28, the defendant exchanged explicit text messages with the victims. The messages included compliments about each other’s attractiveness. The defendant sent one of the victims a photo of her naked in the bathtub. She gave another victim her home address and asked him to come over. The victim declined. The defendant did not have intercourse with any of the three victims. On Feb. 3, the defendant wrote a letter to the girlfriend of one of the victims. She apologized for the “promiscuous� and “unprofessional� comments and texts she sent to the victim.

breaking ground. “There are a lot of people who are really concerned about it,� Proctor resident Tom Egnew said. Neighbors gathered at University of Puget Sound to hear developers make their case for The Proctor, a proposed six-story, 147-unit apartment and retail building slated for the corner of North 28th and Proctor streets. Many residents voiced concern that the proposed building would be too large for the neighborhood and wouldn’t have enough parking spaces to provide for its residents and therefore would cause a further car crunch in the community business district. The project plans to provide roughly one car stall per unit, but the development will offer two bedroom units, they pointed out. “It is woefully under-parked,� Egnew said, adding that the lack of residential parking will cause a spill-over into the surrounding street parking spots meant for local businesses. The mixed-used facility would have spaces for six businesses, but displace four existing businesses. But while the mostly single-family-resident speakers talked about the downside of more people coming to the area, the project is well within the zoning codes of the area. It is the exact sort of live-work project the City Council wanted in business districts, actually, because it adds density while not displacing businesses. The city even made it easier in 2009 for developers to construct mixed-use developments in particular areas by allowing buildings to be six stories instead of the previous four –story cap. The project is being backed by Proctor’s Northwest Shop and former city council member Bill Evans and Blue Mouse Theater backer and real estate broker Erling Kuester as well as Gig Harbor’s Rush Co. and a roster of other investors. The project scored its latest win last week when a hearing examiner ruled that an alley bisecting the property could be vacated to allow for a sky bridge to span the alley and join to sections of the facility. The decision, however, now goes to the City Council for final review, but it is expected to approve the decision. It is expected to be on a council agenda later this month.

The first opportunity for Tacoma residents to go on the record on how the city should change the way it operates was short, sweet and to the point. The special meeting of the 2014 Charter Review Committee lasted less than a half hour and largely consisted of people either talking off topic or championing the benefits of shifting to a “strong mayor� system of government. The hearing was held on Monday to gather public comment and recommendations from residents for changes to the Tacoma City Charter. It is a process the city is required to undergo every 10 years. Among the half dozen people who support changing Tacoma’s form of government was John Ladenburg, former council member, former Pierce County Prosecutor and former Pierce County Executive. He pointed out that the city charter was first crafted in 1954, when the city was a roughand-tumble town and not the complex city it is today, but its city structure hasn’t kept up with the times. “Frankly, it is time for Tacoma to grow up,� he said, noting that most cities of comparable size long ago adopted the strong mayor system to better manage city needs and create better oversight of city resources. He further recommended that the charter review committee look at changing the makeup of the city council from nine members, with four at-large positions of half-time council members, to five district-bound council members who serve full time. The change, he said, would at least avoid the perception that every community is represented equally rather than concentrated in the North End, where many elected officials reside. Attorney and activist Erik Bjornson supported the “strong mayor� call by add-

On Feb. 5, after being transported to South 90th Street by taxi from Portland, a man and woman informed the driver that they had no money to pay the $377 cab fare. The driver decided to contact the police to deal with the situation, and when the officer arrived, he questioned the male passenger about paying the fare. The man said that he had more than $400 in cash sometime before he entered the cab, but claimed he was intoxicated before he made the call, and someone must have stolen it from him when he was passed out before entering the cab. The woman was released without charge. The man was booked to Fife Jail for third degree theft. Some criminals aren’t even smart enough to wait until they reach their destination before letting the cab driver know they don’t have any money. A woman was arrested at a McDonald’s on Pacific Avenue on Feb. 5 for not paying cab fare. The woman claimed that she planned to have her mom or friends pay the fare when she arrived, but when she was unable to contact any of her friends to come to the McDonald’s and pay her fare, she was transported to Fife Jail for theft.

ing that the current model with a hired manager running the city often supports the status quo, while a strong mayor system allows cities to make decisive actions and bold initiatives. The League of Women Voters of Tacoma-Pierce County has gone on record as supporting the current system. Residents at the hearing also called for changes to the Public Utility Commission and the retention of the city’s Civil Service Board, which reviews labor issues within the city staff. Former council member and current State Representative Steve Kirby advocated for the Civil Service Board as a way to safeguard against wrongful terminations and pointed out that two recent cases reviewed by the board determined the city failed to

follow its own termination processes. This public hearing was just the first of many to come over the next four months as the Charter Review Committee considers its roster of recommendations to the city council for placement on a public ballot. “We are going to have a whole series of presentations and information gathering sessions in the weeks ahead,� board Chairman and former mayor Bill Baarsma said. Baarsma wrote a dissertation on the “strong mayor� system in 1972 that is available at the charter review’s city page at www.cityoftacoma.org.

Some of the community dignitaries present at the event included Pierce County Council member Dan Roach, Washington State Representative Hans Zeiger, Mayor of Puyallup John Knutsen, and Mayor of Sumner Dave Enslow. The 25 young ladies representing the festival were each individually selected by their own high schools in October and November, and have been preparing rigorously since then for their coming responsibilities as Daffodil Princesses. Princess Nina Thatch, from Mt.

Everywhere I go, I hear ‘Princess’ and it just sinks in that it is actually true.� The young women chosen by their schools to represent Tacoma this year included Delaney Fry from Stadium, Sarah Schroeder from Wilson, Nina Thatch from Mt.

I can tell that each and every one is eager to serve the community‌ I can tell I’ll have quite a few lifelong friends after all is said and done.â€? The princesses already have many events lined up as a part of their official Daffodil duties, including reading at libraries around Pierce County on Saturday, Feb. 15, as well as the Fourth Annual Daffodil Day at the South Hill mall on Saturday, March 1. Princess Stephanie Jackson-Buena, the Daffodil Festival representative from Chief Leschi High School, is enthusiastic about the events of the coming year, and is equally excited about princesses to come, having this advice to offer: “Put your best foot forward, have a plan, and just have fun, because it’s a great experience!â€? On Friday, March 7, a month from the day they were officially declared princesses, one of the 25 young ladies will be chosen as Queen, at the annual Daffodil Festival Coronation event, at Life Center in Tacoma.

meet it, then deal with it. I thought I might be better at it than I am. Ha. I am a lumpy person. There’s the bony lump on the top of my right foot. There’s the lipoma lump on my right arm. It’s so big it scares cats. A bunch of fibroids earned me a hysterectomy. And, for years, benign little fibrous patches have been showing up in mammograms of my left breast. Every time they do, I get a needle biopsy, bruise like a bull rider and move along, ma’am, there’s nothing there to see, just a

bump in the road. So I wasn’t fazed last Thanksgiving season when I got the call-back from the Carol Milgard Breast Center after a mammogram. I knew I had the role: Lumpy Woman, a walk-on, walk-off. Once again, the needle biopsy. Once again, thinking up possible lyrics to “Blue Boob.â€? Except, no. This was not a drill. I got the news just the way it might be delivered in a sitcom on the verge of cancellation. Our family lives like that, banging against deadlines, rescuing anything from meals to cats at the last minute, kidding each other, making rude noises and busting into inappropriate laughter. At 11:40 a.m., Sunday, Dec. 8, I was about to rise above all that. I was hosting the cookie exchange party my pal Cheryl Tucker founded 25-plus years ago.

sanctuary, did not burn in the first arson. “The poor church people,� he said. “This part of the building, they probably had to do some smoke repairs. Now they’ve got this.� In September, Joshua Joseph Toves went on a night-time arson attack on Midland. He torched a car, an abandoned house and the church. That fire gutted classrooms and the entrance and left the sanctuary with smoke and water damage. Since then, the Moldovan congregation, led by Pastor Pavel Sandu, has met at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Tacoma. They had made plans to salvage and repair the building they had bought for $750,000 in April 2012. Though they had set up a temporary electrical stand, there was no power in the building. Like Houser, Ron Shackleford arrived before the firefighters. He began filming the fire right away, and has given that video to investigators. Sixteen minutes after he started filming, flames were through the roof of that second-floor room, eating at support beams and following a crawl space under the roof. Because the building was vacant, and compromised by the first arson, firefighters opted to fight it from the outside only, with four engines, one ladder truck and 40 people, including a medic crew and two battalion chiefs, said Central Pierce Fire and Rescue Assistant Chief Ed Hrivnak. The fire traveled between the ceiling and the plywood and shingles of the roof, and there was no way to stop it as it ate section after section of the church until it reached the sanctuary. It burned up the central beam, raining embers into the interior until it reached the altar space, and the stained glass window depicting Golgotha, the hill where Jesus was crucified, the place of suffering and sacrifice.

news. (You’re right about the double-take you just did. My doctor called me at 11:40 a.m. on a Sunday. She is the best.) The lump in my right breast was cancer, she said, and we would likely beat it with a lumpectomy and five weeks of radiation. Cancer would be a walk through a point in time, not my whole future. We chose the surgeon she would go to if this were her diagnosis. We agreed that this would take a good deal of mental energy, and I might not be able to write a clear sentence, much less a column. (Yeah, I hear you. Why start now?) We set a start date for treatment after I got back from spending a Mele Kalikimaka with the kids and grandkids. I took a deep breath, noticed that I should have wiped down the window sill above the sink, and did it. We hung up. My husband got back. “Doc Edwards just called,� I told him. “I have cancer. Can you help me scrape these price tags off the cups?� Cheryl knocked, and I told her. We agreed that it was a valid excuse for not being

quite ready. Because this is, after all, a sitcom, my mom called from Wyoming between the pot of lapsang suchong and the refreshing Nepali ginger tea. There will be no dying, I told her. And, because she was on the verge of motherly sobs, no crying until I cry. A week later, the daughters in Hawaii and I made the same deal before we made sand tarts and sugar cookies. We are all tissue-free to date, but I’ve discovered a disturbing crack in my manners. When people say, “Hi, how are you?� I tell them that I’m whomping breast cancer. To my regret, I have told several people I barely know. So, for your own sake, don’t ask. You’ll be forced to endure a hug, and hear a bit more than I should tell you about how the diagnosis has gotten more complicated. Stuff you don’t want to know. Save yourself. Spend your energy on a breast self-exam, and, if it’s time, get a mammogram. And next time you pass a bake sale raising funds for cancer research, buy a raspberry bar.

Leave mandates would cost businesses over $1 billion annually By Erin Shannon Washington Policy Center for Small Business During this legislative session, lawmakers in the House of Representatives considered two bills that would require employers to offer paid leave to workers. HB 1313 would require employers with five or more employees to pay employees for five, seven or nine days of sick leave per year, depending on the size of the company. This bill passed the House and will now be considered by the Senate. HB 2238 would require employers with more than 24 employees to offer up to three weeks of paid vacation for employees that work an average of 20 hours per week. This bill did not survive the committee cut-off and is considered dead this session. Although one of the bills is dead this session, it is instructive to understand how much these paid leave mandates would cost employers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost to an employer for paid sick leave is 25 cents per hour per employee. The average cost for paid vacation is a steeper $1.02 per hour. Taken in isolation, one might think those numbers seem reasonable. Lawmakers may think they’re being generous by forcing employers to change personnel policies (after all,

it doesn’t cost public budgets a dime), and that it won’t cost businesses too much, but looking at the numbers in aggregate, those seemingly negligible costs add up quickly. There are 2,669,256 employees who work for companies with five or more employees in our state. Nationally, 39 percent of private-sector workers do not receive paid sick leave. So just over 1 million workers would benefit from the paid sick leave bill. Assuming those workers clock the national average of 1,700 hours per year, multiply by $.25 per hour, and the annual cost to employers in our state for paid sick leave would be a staggering $442 million. There are 1,713,831 workers in Washington businesses with 25 or more employees. Nationally, 23 percent of private-sector workers do not receive paid vacation, so that would be approximately 394,181 Washington workers who might benefit from the paid vacation mandate. Assuming the national average of 1,700 hours worked per year, multiply by $1.02 per hour, and the cost to employers in our state for paid sick leave would be a mind-boggling $684 million every year. Taken together, that would be an increase in the cost of doing business in Washington State of more than $1.1 billion per year. Of course, employers cannot simply absorb an extra $1.1 billion every

year. They will be forced to shift costs back on to workers, eliminating non-mandated benefits (such as undesignated leave) and reducing hours, and to consumers, in the form of increased prices. There is a reason only one other state, Connecticut, mandates paid sick leave, and why no state mandates paid vacation. It is because such mandates increase the cost of doing business. And most states are loath to increase costs on their job creators, especially when economies and employment are still lagging from the Great Recession. Washington should be especially wary, as our new business start rate has declined while our failure rate continues to increase. In 2010, Washington ranked 9th in business starts and 11th in closures. In 2011 (the most recent year data is available), Washington slipped to 12th for new business starts and 7th for closures. So entrepreneurs are opening fewer businesses, and more of them are failing, as compared to other states. Other states are doing a better job at fostering a positive business climate than Washington on the heels of the recession, as we are moving the wrong way in both rankings. Adding $1.1 billion per year in labor costs to our state’s job creators is not the way to reverse this disturbing trend. Erin Shannon is the director for the Center for Small Business.

The trillion-dollar road to Armageddon By Ira Helfand and Robert Dodge, MD In March of last year, the Norwegian government convened a gathering of 129 nations in Oslo for a two-day “Conference on the Humanitarian Consequences of Nuclear War.� This week, there will be a follow up meeting in Mexico to further examine the scientific data now available documenting the devastating global impact of even a very limited use of these weapons. The United States and the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council, who together possess 98 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons, boycotted the Oslo meeting and have not yet indicated if they will attend the meeting in Mexico. In a joint statement issued before the Oslo meeting, the P5, as they are called, said that a conference that examined what will actually happen if nuclear weapons are used would somehow “distract� them from their efforts to reduce the nuclear danger. The administration has expressed particular concern that these conferences will somehow endanger the 1968 Non Proliferation Treaty, which makes it illegal for states that do not possess nuclear weapons to build them. But Article VI of the NPT also requires the existing nuclear powers to engage in good faith negotiations to eliminate their own nuclear arsenals. A recent statement by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel sheds light on the real threat to the NPT. Speaking after a tour of nuclear weapons facilities in Albuquerque earlier this month, Hagel called for the U.S. to “upgrade� its nuclear warheads and the submarines, bombers and missiles that deliver them. The Congressional Budget Office estimated in late December these

plans would cost $355 billion over the next decade. The Center for Nonproliferation Studies predicts the new weapons will cost $1 trillion over 30 years. Meanwhile, the Russians are in the middle of a similar major upgrade of their nuclear forces. So while asking the non-nuclear weapons states to respect the NPT and refrain from building nuclear weapons, the two main nuclear powers are ignoring their responsibilities under the treaty and expending vast sums of money they cannot afford to make sure they have thousands of nuclear weapons for the foreseeable future. And this is the problem: the system of nuclear apartheid, where some nations possess nuclear weapons and others are forbidden to have them, is increasingly unacceptable to the nonnuclear weapons states. These nations do not want to build nuclear weapons of their own. They want the nuclear powers to stop holding them hostage and putting the safety of the whole world at risk with the weapons they already possess. This concern has indeed been fueled by the growing understanding of the actual effects of nuclear weapons, particularly the recent reports that have shown that even a very limited, regional nuclear war would have catastrophic weather, contamination, crop loss and famine consequences worldwide, likely killing billions of people. The weapons on a single U.S. Trident submarine can produce this global catastrophe; we have 14 of them. The U.S. and Russia claim the world does not have to worry about their nuclear weapons – they will never be used. Around the world, it is an argument that persuades few. If there is no chance that these weapons will ever be used, why would we spend

hundreds of billions of dollars on them? Even if they are not used deliberately, there exists the very real threat of an accidental war. We know of at least five occasions in the last 35 years when either Moscow or Washington prepared to launch a nuclear war in the mistaken belief that it was itself under attack. And a terrorist cyber attack could lead to the unauthorized launch of these weapons. We are at a fundamental decision point with respect to nuclear weapons. We can begin negotiations with the other nuclear powers to eliminate our nuclear arsenals and prevent the proliferation of these weapons across the planet. Or we can spend a trillion dollars to extend our nuclear arsenal and send a clear message to the rest of the world that they should build nuclear weapons, too. The US should stop insisting that the non-nuclear nations trust us and do as we say and not do as we do. We need to lead by example and seek the security of a world without nuclear weapons. The US should attend the Mexico meeting and give leadership to the growing international movement to negotiate a treaty to eliminate these weapons once and for all. Ira Helfand is co-president of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War and a past president of the organization’s U.S. affiliate, Physicians for Social Responsibility (www.psr.org). He is the author of the new report “Nuclear Famine: Two Billion People at Risk?� Robert Dodge is a member of Physicians for Social Responsibilities Security Committee, is syndicated by PeaceVoice, and is on the Board of Physicians for Social Responsibility Los Angeles and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation (www. wagingpeace.org).

The committee to review Tacoma’s city charter has been called to order and has held the first of what promises to be a roster of public hearings on ways the city should change the way it operates. The committee is made up of Bill Baarsma, Theresa Baker, Gary Brackett, Mabel Edmonds, Tim Farrell, Eric Hahn, Charles Horne, Justin Leighton, Mark Martinez, James Merritt, John Messina, Kenneth Miller, Patricia Talton, Catherine Ushka and Justin Van Dyk. It is tasked with looking over the city’s charter and recommending changes. The effort happens once a decade, and a dozen changes were made during the last go-round in 2004. The first public hearing on rule changes was held on Monday and brought suggestions from minor ordinance tweaks, to how departments are funded, to a change in governance that would shift the councilmanager city from a “weak mayor� form to a mayorcouncil, or “strong mayor,� system. This new system would have the day-to-day city business managed by a city administrator and the mayor playing more of an active role in oversight and policy. It is not a new debate and was part of the push during the last review and even was the thrust of an initiative. The matter will be the focus of heavy discussion this go-round as well, especially considering that former Tacoma Mayor Baarsma spearheaded the effort last time and is the chair of the review committee this time. The current mayor-council system has the mayor largely in a ceremonial role as the chair of the council, with no authority to hire or fire officials or veto power over the rest of the council. Under a “strong mayor� system, the mayor can appoint or remove department heads as well as be the driver of crafting a municipal budget. In this structure, the city’s chief executive officer works directly for the mayor. Most cities in Washington have a “strong mayor� system, at 228 to the “weak mayor� tally of 52. But most of those are municipalities have less than 50,000 residents. Today, the 52 Washington cities operating under the council-manager form of government range in population from 1,915 in Carnation to 204,200 in Tacoma. The total population in councilmanager cities in 2010 was slightly over 1.7 million residents, accounting for approximately 42 percent of the state’s incorporated population. Most major cities have a mayor-council system, however, under the idea that it boosts accountability and oversight as well as allow for faster decision-making about management matters. Now that the general call-for-community input is over, the committee will systematically work through the suggestions and slate more public hearings as the process grinds on into the spring. The committee plans to meet every Monday and Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Room 16 of the Tacoma Municipal Building North, located at 733 Market St. until it submits its recommendations to the City Council on May 6. All of its meetings are open to the public and agendas and minutes for review will be posted. Even at two meetings a week, the review committee has a tight deadline to get its list of recommendations for charter changes to the council, so residents would be wise to keep tabs on the effort by subscribing to the committee’s email alerts that are available through the city’s web site. The city’s charter is long and wordy and written in legal jargon the way most government documents are, but certainly there are well-versed residents willing to give it a read-through and suggest changes as the process moves its way through this formal review. Information about the review and its committee meetings is available at cityoftacoma.org/ charterreview. The above opinion represents the view of Tacoma Weekly’s editorial board.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, (Re: “Celebrate Valentine’s Day and help the homeless,� TW 2/7/14) Thank you Matt Nagle for such a great article. You have always supported our “CAUSE� and we thank you for that, Thank You for following us as we grow and expand. We will continue to always provide the best of service to our homeless community Jeannette Twitty CEO, House of Matthews Dear Editor, (Re: Tacomans hold ‘return to sender’ rally against Trib advertising bundles, TW, Feb. 7) The area in which Mr. Deetz (David Zeeck) traveled certainly wasn’t ours. Only a few days after the orange bags started arriving, it was an eyesore. I couldn’t see any bags that made it to the porch. They were scattered in yards, sidewalks, and gutters. As the Weekly surmised, you’ve got a distribution problem. The worker(s) making the “deliveries� wanted to get rid of the bags as quickly as possible. I don’t think (s)he had increased TNT revenues, consumer savings opportunities or TNT’s public image in mind. Regardless, the responsibility still rests with the TNT. I am amazed that the publisher chose to minimalize the extent of the pollution, question the integrity of those objecting and chose instead to defer blame. That is not the way a true leader responds to a problem. Attack the problem, not the people who won’t let you forget about it. You could have come out of this looking great in Tacoma’s eyes by simply sending the errant delivery people to pick up the mess they made. Too late now. Sad. Ron Pulliam Tacoma

ellarmine Prep certainly responded after being pushed to the brink of playoff elimination a month ago. A loss to Narrows 4A champion Stadium in mid-January had put the Lions at 1-5 in league play, and postseason chances looked bleak. But Bellarmine rattled off six straight wins, capped by a 70-56 win over Yelm at home in their season finale on Feb. 6, to secure a spot in the district playoffs. “We’ve definitely been taking every game as a playoff game, a must-win,” said junior forward Rex Bodoia, who tallied game highs of 23 points and 19 rebounds in the win over the Tornadoes. “I think we’ve gotten better at finishing games. A lot of the games we lost early in the season were close games, and we were in it for most of it.” Bodoia helped get the Lions out to a quick start offensively, going 5-for-5 in the first quarter for 10 points. His rebound and put-back at the start of the second quarter put the Lions up 24-16, and Malachi Flynn gave the Lions their largest lead of the first half, at 33-21, with a three-pointer midway through the period. Yelm closed to within 35-27 at the break on a layup in the final minute by Christian Davis, who was 6-for-9 in the first half for 15 of his teamhigh 20 points. Elijah Fuller – who finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Tornadoes – nailed a three-pointer with 3:30 to go in the third quarter to pull within 46-42. But Bodoia went back to work, helping the Lions’ break Yelm’s pressure defense by driving for layups at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth to boost the lead to 56-44. “They press really hard up front,” said Bellarmine Prep head coach Bernie Salazar of Yelm.

Shannon Bailey insists she wasn’t paying attention to the growing excitement around her. It was hard not to peak at other scores, as the Wilson junior bowler headed into the final round of the state championship tied for the individual lead with Everett’s Candice Goldfinch, who had bowled a 256 in her fifth game to pull even. Goldfinch then put up four strikes in her first five frames in the final round to take the lead, while Hudson’s Bay’s Dakota Varela – bowling on the same lane as Bailey – rattled off six straight strikes to move into second place. But Bailey saved her best for last, collecting six straight strikes of her own from the fifth to tenth frames to claim the 1A/2A/3A individual title on Feb. 7 at Narrows Plaza Lanes. “I was a little excited, but I was like ‘I’ll just stay calm and bowl my game,’” said Bailey, an Annie Wright student who joined the Rams this fall. “I just bowled what I normally bowl. I just got in the zone and stayed (there).” Bailey’s final-round score of 247 was by far her best round of the day, as she finished with an overall score of 1,274 to edge Goldfinch by four pins. “It was like she didn’t even know what was on the line, she didn’t even feel the pressure,” said Wilson head coach Ken Richardson of Bailey. “To win it by four pins, that’s insane.” Bailey had stayed consist much of the day, tallying an opening-round score of 218 and adding a 220 in her third and fifth games. After putting up a high score of 211 in her first round, Wilson junior teammate Hunter Freuhling-Thomas stumbled in her third round but recovered to take 17th place overall with 1,021 pins. “That just kind of eases all the sorrow from last week,” said Richardson, referencing the Rams being edged for the final team berth to state at the district tournament. “They did so great. They competed so well. And they’re both coming back (next year).” Curtis, meanwhile, settled for sixth place in the 4A tournament, tallying a total of 6,677 pins after the 14 Baker games on Feb. 8. Alexia Rawls had led the Vikings in the individual competition, tallying a score of 987 over her six rounds to place 26th.

Tacoma Baptist needed someone to step up to take the pressure off of star senior forward Sarah Zeitler, and fellow senior guard Ali Oatridge – also playing in her final home game – answered the call. Oatridge scored six of her team-high 12 points in the first five minutes of the second half, helping the Crusaders begin to pull away in an eventual 44-31 win over Seattle Lutheran on Feb. 11. With the Crusaders leading 19-11 early in the third quarter,

Oatridge nailed an outside jumper, and converted a steal into a layup moments later to give Tacoma Baptist a 12-point lead. With the focus on Zeitler in the inside, she buried another jumper three minutes later to help the Crusaders maintain control with a 26-14 lead. “Coach just told me to slow down and focus on my shots,â€? Oatridge said. “When I focused I started putting them in‌I stopped, pulled up and hit the open shots instead of going for layups every time.â€? After Seattle Lutheran’s Abbi Sanders – who tied Hailey Meyer

with a team-high 12 points – pulled the Saints within 31-23 with a jumper early in the fourth quarter, the Crusaders put the game away with a 13-0 run. Oatridge nailed her second three-pointer during the run, and Zeitler capped the stretch with two free throws. “The outside shooting was much improved,� said Tacoma Baptist head coach Josh Narayan, adding it was a big help because “they were double- and tripleteaming Sarah on the inside.� The Saints succeeded in slowing Zeitler early, as she started just 1-for-6 from the field. But Ashley Brooks scored

four points in the first quarter, and Oatridge banked in a threepointer to make it 9-5 heading into the second quarter. The defense continued to buckle down in the second period, as the Crusaders extended the lead to 15-5 and held the Saints scoreless until Olivia Wake’s layup with 1:15 until halftime. Seattle Lutheran was just 4-for-22 from the field in the first half, and committed 16 turnovers. “It was the bench that was pushing us to get all the steals and play so hard on defense,� said Oatridge, who finished with four steals. “This is the loudest they’ve been all year, and you could total-

ly tell. It really helped us out on the court.� Zeitler finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and three steals, while Ashley Brooks added 10 points and eight rebounds and Jennifer Brooks had eight points and six rebounds for the Crusaders. “Now is the time to peak in the season, and we were able to do that tonight,� Zeitler said.

WILLERS LEADS STADIUM, CURTIS SWIMS TO DISTRICT TITLE

Stadium sophomore Noah Willers captured two individual titles at the 4A West Central District Swimming Championships on Feb. 7-8 at Curtis High School. Willers started by narrowly beating Kentwood’s Brian Wright in the 200-yard freestyle, finishing in a time of 1 minute and 47.25 seconds. He later won the 500-yard freestyle in a time of 4 minutes and 54.74 seconds, shaving over five seconds off of his

mark in the preliminary round. Stadium junior Kyle Marr advanced to state in the 100-yard freestyle after taking sixth place in 50.18 seconds, and teamed with Willers, Michael Marr and Sam Hoag to narrowly miss qualifying in the 400-yard freestyle relay with a seventh-place finish. Michael Marr, Nick Mahan, Nick Stauffer and Sean Macapinlac also took seventh in the 200-yard freestyle relay to be edged out of qualification, and Hoag took eighth in the 100-yard breaststroke. Senior Brian Woodbury led Curtis to the district title as a team, winning the 200-yard individual medley in an All-American consideration time of 1 minute and

inding a restaurant to take a large group to can be rough. Not everyone is going to agree on a thematic venue. Luckily, Nader Morco’s restaurant My Greek offers a swath of Greek, Italian and American food sure to please anybody. My Greek opened in Puyallup in 2007, with an expansion opening in Tacoma last year on 2303 N. Pearl St. Morcos says My Greek’s success stems from the three pillars of Greek, Italian and American food items on the menu. The combination allows a wide variety of options for anyone to enjoy. “Not everyone likes Greek food, not everyone likes Italian food, and not everyone likes American food,� Morcos said. “But combined, everyone can find something they like.� The Greek pillar is held up by Classic Souvlaki, with your choice of chicken, beef or lamb, marinated, grilled and served with tzatziki; one skewer for $9.95 and two for $11.95. My Greek also offers gyros, a mix of lamb and beef roasted and thinly sliced for $8.95. The American menu is highlighted by the Angus burger, an 8 oz. patty grilled with American and Swiss cheese for $7.45. The Beer Battered Fish and Chips is line-caught Alaskan cod in a crispy beer batter hand dipped to order. Served with French fries, tartar sauce and fresh lemon for $9.95. The Italian pillar is held up by various pastas, including Fettuccine Alfredo made with cream, garlic butter and Parmesan cheese for $9.95.

Due to the success of the restaurant, Morcos is expanding the business to a third store in the coming year, which will be his second location in Puyallup. The My Greek location on Pearl Street is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The restaurant can be reached at (253) 752-2700.

“If we could get it past that first wave, we were often in a two-onone or three-on-one.� Mar’kese Jackson scored eight of his 14 points in the fourth quarter to help Bellarmine Prep pull away, while Will Wolf finished with 12 points and six rebounds and Carson Hollyoak added 10 points for the Lions. “I thought Will Wolf and I kind of dominated in the paint,� Bodoia said. “We would just give them a pump fake, they would (jump) up and we could just go straight up. We got a lot of free throws and we were just aggressive inside, and I thought it worked out well.� After moving into a secondplace tie with South Kitsap at 7-5, the Lions fell 70-60 to the Wolves in the tiebreaker on Feb. 8 at Stadium High School to settle for the third seed to district play. They will travel to play at Kentwood on Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. in their district opener. For the Lions, the prospect of a tough road playoff game is way better than the alternative. “I’m really proud of our guys,� Salazar said. “It’s been a great comeback.�

Tacoma Baptist’s dynamic

junior guards were at it again in their regular season finale. Brandon Stoehr finished with a game-high 23 points, and Dayton Pascua added 22 points as the Crusaders rolled to a 71-46 win over Seattle Lutheran on Feb. 11 to claim the third seed to the 2B Bi-District playoffs. “Me and Dayton have played together since second grade,� Stoehr said. “It’s impossible to play when he’s out, and vice versa. We play off each other, feed off each other.� The Crusaders were in control from the start, as Pascua’s steal and dish to Stoehr for a layup made it 10-2 with 3:18 left in the first quarter. The lead kept growing rapidly, as Tacoma Baptist’s pressure defense rattled the Saints – who were playing without injured star forward Abijah Smith – into mistakes and quick shots. Pascua’s driving layup with 3:30 until halftime increased the lead to 27-10, and the Crusaders led 34-16 at the break. Seattle Lutheran was just 7-for-24 in the first half, and committed 11 turnovers. “We took a pretty bad beating last week against Bear Creek because we lacked intensity and our defensive pressure wasn’t there for whatever reason,� said Tacoma Baptist first-year head coach Jason Townsend. “The main focus coming into tonight was defensive pressure.� Stoehr, who finished with a

team-high five steals, noted that the defensive approach has helped fuel the offense. “We get a lot of fast-break buckets,� he said. “When we do that, we’re very efficient. We’re hard to beat.� Tommie Brazile banked in a three-pointer and Ben Cooksley added a three-point play within the first two minutes in the second half, making it 40-18 and

ending any thoughts of a comeback. Cooksley finished with seven points and 13 rebounds, while Brazile added seven points, eight rebounds and three steals. The Crusaders finished 13-7 overall and 6-4 in league play, and avoided the dreaded play-in game to the Bi-District tournament. They will travel north to take on either Concrete, Orcas Island or La Conner on Feb. 19 at 7 p.m.

in their opener. With their highenergy guards seemingly peaking at the right time, Tacoma Baptist could be poised to make a run to the state tournament. “It’s been a huge, huge blessing for me to walk into a situation with two dynamic guards who can just go,� Townsend said. He later added, “I think they haven’t really scratched the surface of their potential.�

ith just a little over two months to go before their first pre-season game (April 12 against the Bellingham Bulldogs), the Puyallup Nation Kings football team is off to a great start in terms of team players. So far there are 73 on the roster, with more to come. The roster will then be cut down to 55 players before the Kings’ first regular season game on May 16. “We’ve had the same core of 40 people showing up to every practice compared to last year when we were lucky to get 15 people at a practice,� said

@(9+ +(:/ Archie Cantrell prepares for a timed sprint during his tryouts with the Puyallup Nation Kings football team.

Kings owner/player Ty Satiacum, who founded

the team last year along with Archie Cantrell and Joe McCloud. What made the difference in this second year? “The foundation we set last year,� Satiacum replied. “And being a firstyear team and coming up one game short of the Championship.� He said word started spreading that the Kings take care of the players and the Tribe’s support has been very helpful to the team as well. Made up of adults 18 years and older, the Kings held a tryout/combine on Jan. 18 at the Chief Leschi Schools field, and 48 player hopefuls showed up. This gave coaches the chance to evaluate the players speed, strength, agility and athleticism. “This year we have a lot more volunteers and a full coaching staff. Eight coaches not including the strength and conditioning coach and trainer,� Satiacum said. “Last year we struggled through the sea-

son without a full-time coach.� Aaron Rambo is head coach this year, and Satiacum couldn’t be happier. “This year we have a coach that’s passionate; he coaches at Foster High School and is a volunteer coach at (University of Puget Sound). His energy level and dedication are great.� The team has high aspirations for 2014. “This year we have big goals,� Satiacum said. “Our goal is to win not only this league but we want to travel and play the champions of the PFL (Pacific Football League), which you could say is a step up in competition. We want to win three rings this year.� The next tryout/combine will be held on Feb. 15 at Chief Leschi Schools, 10:30 a.m. Pre-registration is $25 and $40 on-site. Players will be evaluated on the following areas: 225 lb. bench press repetitions,

broad jump, 40-yard dash, vertical jump, 3-cone drill, 1-on-1 drills, 7-on-7 competition and various other drills. To pre-register, contact Stephanie Satiacum at Stephanie.satiacum@ gmail.com or call Leesa Wright at (253) 405-8111. Make check/money order out to Puyallup Tribe of Indians. The Kings is an amateur football organization with the Western Washington Football Association (WWFA). Satiacum said he’s been very impressed with the quality of players he’s seen this year. “We really have some talent. We’re looking good.� He said Marquise Henry in particular is one to watch. “Looking at him, you wouldn’t think he could hit as hard as he does. But he’s very fast. He’s like an Earl Thomas – he’ll play safety for us and come in like a kamikaze. He’s a competitor.� The Kings offensive line is also looking sharp.

“When I started the team last year, I called on my old buddies because I played offensive line for Spanaway Lake High School back in 2001. I called on as many of them as I could and I was able to pull four of them including myself, so I have four of our five starting offensive linemen for the team. We all had league honors in high school. They’re a big part of the team now.� Representing for the Puyallup Tribe, the Kings, so far, have Satiacum, SouByAchHe “Big� Bean, Archie Cantrell, Marquise Henry, James Stafford, Julio Taraya, Joe Mccloud, Justin Turnipseed, Pernelle Turnipseed and Christian Melendez. Satiacum hopes that this core of Puyallup tribal members, along with the rest of the team, will help increase participation of Chief Leschi students. “We hope to boost the numbers at Chief Leschi, their participation levels, because the word is spreading. The Kings are popular at the high school. I’m having students come up saying they want to play for the Kings and I’m hoping that translates into bigger turnouts for the school so this year we’re going to have a combine for the students. It’ll be like a football camp/combine where students will have a chance to experience an NFL style of testing,� Satiacum said, and it will be held in the spring. Players who are interested in trying out for the Puyallup Nation Kings are asked to contact head coach Aaron Rambo at arambo@live.com.

L

ast weekend, Seattle supergroup Walking Papers delivered two big shows at Jazzbones. Friday night’s quickly sold out, and fans braved snow-covered roads to get there on Saturday. Tacoma Weekly freelance music photographer Bill Bungard was there to capture one of his favorite local bands in action. The group consists of singer-guitarist Jefferson Angell (of Post Stardom Depression and the Missionary Position fame); drummer Barrett Martin from Screaming Trees and Mad Season; keyboard player and backup singer Benjamin Anderson, who played in Rorschach Test and Missionary Position; and superstar bassist Duff McKagan, who has headlined arena and festival stages with Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver and, most recently, Jane’s Addiction. With that pedigree and powerhouse, self-titled debut album, Walking Papers is primed for the national circuit. Still, the band supports the local music scene, playing local clubs and transporting fans back to the days when magic was common on such stages. Walking Papers has a great sound backed by great stage presence, and they left fans stoked and starstruck.

PHILOSOPHERS’ STONE. Chad Gunderson’s “Specimen 23� is made

of solid-cast glaze. It is one of dozens of such works currently on display at UPS’s Kittredge Gallery.

Chad Gunderson at Kittredge Gallery By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

C

had Gunderson is the newest member of the University of Puget Sound’s art faculty. Brought on board to teach ceramics, Gunderson is currently the featured artist in a one-man show at the school’s Kittredge Gallery. Entitled “I Like Rocks!� the show consists of a prolific assortment of colorful, abstract objects that are made entirely of ceramic glaze. Don’t expect to see pretty clay pots at this show. Gunderson casts just glaze to produce organic forms that are usually colored with acrylic and/ or spray paint. Most of these “Specimens� (as Gunderson calls them) are displayed at the center of white, porcelain disks that hang on the gallery walls. Many of the specimens resemble geological mineral samples like pumice stone marked with deep cavities. Some resemble torn sponges, fragments of sea corals, chunks of liver or hunks of bread. Some erupt with bulbous tumors that are painted in garish hues. Some have deep craters that are edged with paint. The artist cites such dis-

Furnit u

parate elements as igneous rock, Chinese scholars’ stones, Lego bricks and vintage Tupperware as sources of inspiration. Gunderson joined the UPS faculty last August. He has also taught at Bennington College in Vermont, at Brooklyn College and at Arizona State University (which is where he earned his M.F.A.). In addition to his own show in Kittredge’s “Large Gallery,� Gunderson curated the show in the “Small Gallery.� For this charming little exhibit, he chose objects from the university’s ceramics collection that are notable for having pushed the boundaries of ceramic art at the time they were made. Here one may encounter the brilliant Patti Warashina (who recently had a major retrospective at Bellevue Art Museum), the funky Clayton Bailey and the quirky David Gilhooly among others. Comparison of ceramic art to rocks does not sound exciting. This show, however, exceeds expectations. “I Like Rocks!� runs through March 1. For further information visit pugetsound. edu/Kittredge. More information on Gunderson is available on the artist’s website at chadgundersonart.com.

HOT DEALS

The Civil War fostered intense debates in Washington State about race, citizenship, civil liberties, politics, and federal government power, and helped connect the Pacific Northwest more closely with the rest of the nation. Civil War Pathways in the Pacific Northwest examines how the issues of the war influenced the lives of those in our region.

FEB 2014

Feb. 17 Opening Day Activities:

Exclusive WSHS members-only reception and program, 10-10:45 a.m.

Includes presentations by exhibit curator Lorraine McConaghy and retired Seattle Times editor Bruce Ramsey.

“Territorial Voices: A Civil War Reader’s Theater� 11 a.m. to noon

Open to the public free with museum admission. Come participate in an interactive, living theater piece where the audience reads the words of ordinary settlers, territorial military, and administrative leadership. Through the presentation, participants will realize the changing significance of words like “Democrat� and “Republican� and learn about various opinions on race and slavery in the Washington Territory.

“I Am Always on the Women’s Side: Vignettes of the Civil War� 1 p.m

Open to the public, free with museum admission, Though women’s voices are often lost amidst the din of the battlefield, their stories are an integral part of our nation’s history. Karen Haas has researched numerous diaries, letters, and songs written by women to create a program portraying women from differing walks of life and points of view. These vignettes bring a frequently neglected side of the Civil War to life: women striving to survive in a time of violence, turmoil, and societal change. NOT INTENDED FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES.

Civil War Fashion Show 3 p.m.

Open to the public, free with museum admission Presented by Goodwill of Tacoma, this

fashion show recreates the look and feel of the Civil War era.

Bonus: Authors whose books are part of the Civil War Book Club will be signing copies of their books in the Museum Store. Musicians will be playing Civil War era music in the museum, and re-enactors will be portraying various Civil War characters in the gallery.

COME ONE, COME ALL TO 16TH ANNUAL ASIAN NEW YEAR CELEBRATION By Ernest A. Jasmin

SCHEDULE OF THIS YEAR’S ENTERTAINMENT

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

L

ocals will gather to celebrate the traditions of Asia and the Pacific Islands at the 16th annual Asia Pacific New Year festival this weekend. The event will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall, 2727 E. ‘D’ St., featuring food, music, dance, martial arts demonstrations, more than 60 vendors and more. The event is organized by the Asia Pacific Cultural Center, a non-profit group that, since 1996, has united Asian and Pacific Islander groups from around the state. There are organized groups representing 18 countries in Washington, according to APCC executive director Faaluaina Pritchard; and each year one is recognized as host at the Asia Pacific New Year event. This year the spotlight is on Tahiti. “There is only one big family of Tahitians here in the state of Washington, and there are maybe two other families,� Pritchard said. “But the biggest family is the Radfords, and they live in Bellevue. So we got them to come, and they have a dance group called Te Fare O Tamatoa. Literally translated, it’s ‘house of the king’ or ‘house of warriors.’� The event is free and open to all ages. Parking will cost $10, and attendants are accepting cash only.

SIREN SONG. Tena DuBerry has over 30 years of experience as a per-

former. Her next venture, The Tena DuBerry Jazz Bistro, opens on Sunday, Feb. 17. By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

L

ocal musician Tena DuBerry has no problem admitting that Tacoma is full of talented local artists. In her eyes, the Tacoma scene is making a loud bang throughout the Pacific Northwest – the problem lies in keeping the music playing. “It’s easy to start something. People have started things all over the place all the time,� DuBerry said. “We have all these great artists and more, how do we keep it playing? DuBerry hopes to begin solving this problem by opening the Tena DuBerry Jazz Bistro at Highland Golf Course on Sunday, Feb 16. According to DuBerry, the bistro will be a place for an older, mature crowd to get together, network and enjoy a live jazz venue. “It’s a place and a venue to connect,� DuBerry said, “where we can grow as a community.� The venue will have an emphasis on a live performance over DJs or television entertainment. DuBerry hopes the club will be reminiscent of the 70’s music of Aretha Franklin or Ella Fitzgerald, tickling those feelings of nostalgia and warmth from a time when live performers ruled the entertainment scene. “[We’re] bringing back the live music, the feel-good music, because music heals,� DuBerry said. Sunday will mark the grand opening of the bistro, and the occasion will

be celebrated with giveaways and a live performance from DuBerry herself. “When you come see me, it’s always going to be a top performance, period,� DuBerry said. DuBerry is a veteran singer who has performed everywhere from Tacoma Little Theater to Carnegie Hall. She has a background in jazz, doing everything from plays to singing telegrams. DuBerry has written two plays that were performed in Tacoma: “Valentines Day and Black History Month Tribute to AfricanAmerican Artist, No Longer Here� at Clover Park Technical College and “I am EVERYWOMAN� at the Tacoma Little Theatre, which honored women in every stage of their lives. She has covered everyone from Michael Jackson to Ray Charles, and will have an opportunity this week to cover Frank Sinatra songs in Seattle. Born in Tacoma, DuBerry moved to the Washington, D.C. area when she was 13, but has returned to try and unite live performers in the Tacoma area, with the bistro being just the first step in keeping the music playing in the city. “We have to learn to support one another; we have to learn to put our money where our mouth is,� DuBerry said. DuBerry wants the bistro to evolve into a venture that supports the community, whether through professional connections or scholarships for younger residents. Specifically, DuBerry wants to use the bistro to provide role mod-

els for young women. “We really want people to be a part of making this grow,� DuBerry said. “Let’s do this together, we have the singing, we have the opportunity, let’s make it happen together.� Once the club is open, the plan is to begin doing live performances twice monthly, every other Sunday, slowly increasing the number of shows until they are a daily occurrence. DuBerry hopes these performances will help the Tacoma community by creating lasting relationships between the venue and performers. “It really should be a partnership,� DuBerry said. With that support from the community, the staff of the bistro truly believes Tacoma can become a goto hotspot for entertainment not just from around the state but from around the whole country. “Let’s make Seattle come to Tacoma, let’s make Olympia come to Tacoma, let’s make California come to Tacoma, let’s make Las Vegas come to Tacoma,� DuBerry said. The Tena DuBerry Jazz Bistro will have its grand opening Sunday, Feb.16 from 6-8 p.m. and will feature live music performances, certificate giveaways, refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) You are on a roller coaster ride as Mercury rewinds and some of your plans may fall through or people may not be reliable. Work or business projects may not coordinate and acting on impulse could cause stress. Try to locate and keep track of receipts and paperwork. Enjoy the fresh, crisp air.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) An important relationship could reach a critical peak this week. The full moon today lets you see your friends and loved ones for who they really are. You have desired change for some time and now you have the chance to make this dream of stability happen. Take a step in the opposite direction. Don’t give into self-doubt.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Organize your home or office for positive work results. You may experience mechanical malfunctions as a result of Mercury in retrograde. Your patient determination will win over that hard to deal with person. Working as a team can make better progress. Respect and listen to your heart.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) You may need to go with the flow to make your daydreams come true. New opportunities help you pull back in order to move forward. With Mercury in retrograde, your patience and stamina may be tested. Choose what is right or what is wrong for you. Take your time and do it right.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) There is a possibility that you make a change that could surprise someone. A plan or project may not go as planned as Mercury rewinds. Interviews or meetings may be canceled. Keep track of those important documents, receipts and paperwork. Do your homework first and think carefully before making any moves.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) Today’s powerful full moon reveals a special valentine. See the happiness in your everyday life. Opposites are at play bringing fun as well as disappointment. When things get too much, retreat to work out your next move. Enjoy your popularity with good intentions and spread joy.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22) Today’s full moon brings good times with friends and family. As Mercury is in retrograde, you may notice crazy times at work. Challenges with your boss or co-worker will escalate and then subside. Your fondest dreams and fantasies may be on your mind lately. Stay calm and keep smiling.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) This week could be socially challenging. Today’s full moon helps you recognize your responsibilities to others. You come to a common ground as a result of a disagreement. As Mercury rewinds this week, you may experience electronic problems. Back up your important files to avoid losing crucial information.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) A quick, tempting getaway probably won’t resolve your issues. You may find yourself more in touch with repressed feelings as Mercury rewinds this week stirring up old emotions. The full moon today may be a special time for you and your partner. Take time to decompress.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) Love is in the air today during this special full moon today. You are stimulated by a cuttingedge wavelength. This lively energy helps you find answers and make meaningful connections. Creative opportunities arise. We are the company we keep so stick with like-minded people.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) Wishful thinking may get in the way of progress. Beware of misunderstandings with your partner or relative, as Mercury is in retrograde. Try to sense the needs and feelings of others. Appreciate the little things that make the bigger picture. Make some time for peace and quiet to help you focus.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) Watch your budget and avoid spontaneous spending. Questions about money and wild ideas are in the air. Confusion this full moon could distract you from taking good care of yourself. Be loving and giving but don’t sacrifice everything or play the martyr. Your desires may prove reckless.
