TACOMA WEEKLY WELCOMES LARRY LARUE

The Tacoma Weekly is excited and honored to welcome former News Tribune sports writer and columnist Larry LaRue to our writing team. After 24 years of covering Mariners baseball and three years as a columnist with the News Tribune, Larry is coming to the Tacoma Weekly to continue his legacy of people-oriented stories and day-in-the-life features on everyday citizens doing interesting things. “I find people with fascinating tales about their life and give them the voice to tell their story,” he said. u See LARRY / page A9 PHOTOS BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

the muSe. The Children’s Museum of Tacoma has partnered with the University of Washington Tacoma to begin offering child care for downtown workers. By Eilish McLean Special to Tacoma Weekly

Since its inception in 1986, the Children’s Museum of Tacoma has been striving to fulfill its mission statement, “to champion children and honor play.” This is the first private, non-profit children’s museum in the nation to offer Pay As

You Will admission, sponsored by KeyBank, and the museum’s free outreach program, Play to Learn, has 14 sites for children under six to enjoy, regardless of economic limitations. Starting Feb. 8, the Children’s Museum will be expanding its impressive repertoire even further with the addition of the new licensed childcare facility The Muse: A Children’s Center.

The program was developed in partnership with the University of Washington Tacoma in order to address the need for quality child care in the downtown Tacoma area, and to create a childcare model for the community that demonstrates inspired environments and child-centered learning philosophies. The facility, which can take in

than 1,000 people each. News of the change came as the Federal Way City Council held an emergency meeting last week to oppose the methanol plant. The Puyallup Tribe of Indians also added its name to the growing roster of critics. University Place Mayor Javier H. Figueroa is also seeking council support to call for a study session on the project in hopes of adding that suburban city’s name to the roster of governments with worries about the proposal. State lawmakers are working on bills against the plant. Critics are also attacking the proposal with a petition drive that calls for a public vote on all water permits for projects that would use more than a million gallons per day in Tacoma.

All those commuters, truck drivers, Pierce County residents and businesses out there wondering about the extension of State Route 167 from its current dead end in Puyallup to Port of Tacoma Road will have two opportunities early next month to learn the latest news. The Washington State Department of Transportation will host two open houses in early March to detail the initial phase. The first of the two meetings will be held at 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1 at the Fife Community Center, 2111 54th Ave. E. Another open

Forecasting yet another capacity crowd of more than a thousand people expected to voice their concerns about a planned methanol plant in the works for the Tacoma tideflats, city officials rescheduled a third public comment hearing to Wednesday, Feb. 24, at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center ballroom. Doors will open at 5 p.m. for speaker sign-up and the meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. The meeting replaces one set for earlier this week at Meeker Middle School.

Scholars and thought leaders from a broad range of disciplines will gather at Pacific Lutheran University on Feb. 25-26 to explore the concept of “resilience” during the seventh biennial Wang Center Symposium. Officially titled “The Countenance of Hope: Towards an Interdisciplinary and Cross-Cultural Understanding of Resilience,” the international symposium will offer two days and evenings of keynote and panel presentations. Through presentations by professionals, authors, academics and hands-on practitioners, the international symposium is designed to stimulate serious thinking on a single global challenge. All sessions are free and open to the public. Online registration is encouraged before Feb. 19. Event organizers say the topic was selected in the wake of current events both domestic and abroad. “The theme of resilience and hope is timely for a variety of reasons,” said Assistant Professor of Global Studies and Anthropology Ami V. Shah. “The world is in the midst of several massive movements and transitions, from multiple refugee crises to the long-term effects of conflict to the consistent struggle for education and equality — these are all issues that 2015 highlighted in dramatic ways.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

N. Second St. at Tacoma Avenue Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know 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.” In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. 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.

CONWAY TO HOST TOWN HALL ON FEB. 20 Sen. Steve Conway, D-South Tacoma, will host a 29th Legislative District town hall meeting at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, at the Garfield Book Co. on the Pacific Lutheran University campus at 208 Garfield St. South. “Town halls are an excellent way to connect in-person and have conversations about the issues and concerns that are most important to our community and state,” said Conway. “Every year, I look forward to this unique opportunity to gather and meet with my neighbors. Constituent engagement is a critical and crucial part of the legislative process.” Legislative town halls are typically held during or soon after the legislative session and provide lawmakers and constituents the opportunity to discuss issues important to the district. Conway will provide an overview of the status of important bills that have been introduced during the 2016 legislative session as well as what s happening with the supplemental capital and operating budgets, and what still needs to be done. ENTREPRENEUR CONVERTS TOBACCO STORE INTO SOURCE FOR HEALTHY LIVING In 2005, local entrepreneur William Manzanares, a member of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, opened North Point Smoke Shop at 6210 29th St. NE in Tacoma. For 10 years this business was dedicated to selling cigarettes and other tobacco products, but on March 1, the ribbon will be cut to officially re-open the store with a new purpose and new name – Tacoma Fresh. Tacoma Fresh is a quick-serve, natural convenience store featuring ready-made meals, organic products, and fresh produce. This is one convenience store that won’t be selling pop, chips and candy. Instead, Tacoma Fresh is offering a revolutionary concept: a healthy grab-and-go food store to meet a glaring need in the marketplace for people with dietary restrictions or those who just want healthier food options for themselves and their family. “I envision a day when the words ‘fast food’ won’t mean ‘unhealthy,’ Manzanares said. “You can have healthy fast food and we are going to prove it. We believe in keeping things natural when it comes to food and health. I’m more passionate about this than anything I’ve ever done.” Manzanares is a living example of how changing one’s eating habits does wonders for the body. Peaking in weight at around 240 pounds, he gradually dropped nearly 40 pounds and continues to enjoy the taste and benefits of good nutrition that includes truly organic and natural foods. However, he discovered that choices are very limited for those, like him, who are busy and active and not very good at cooking their own meals. “I want to change the idea that you can’t eat healthy on the go,” he said. At Tacoma Fresh, customers have a say in what they eat, as healthy eating starts with individual tastes and preferences. “We want to get to know you by name and get your meals planned out for you,” Manzanares said. “Come and talk to our staff and if we don’t have it, I will make every effort to find it.” If Tacoma Fresh proves to be a hit, Manzanares will convert the other smoke shops and bar he owns into healthy eating establishments. He’s also looking to bring on board good people who believe in his concept, and invites anyone interested to contact him at (253) 405-5625 or william@ tacomafresh.com. Also visit www.TacomaFresh.com. TRAILBLAZING COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS HONORED Over the years Genevieve Schmidt and Etta Logan visited homes across Pierce County with a mission: help children breathe easier. Mujeres Latinas Apoyando La Communidad and the Puget Sound Asthma Coalition

honored their work by giving each a lifetime achievement award Dec. 11, 2015 at the annual Clean Air for Kids Celebration at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. “This lifetime award is to recognize the extensive service both Etta and Genevieve have given towards helping thousands of families in the South Sound with evidencebased solutions to improve their home environments,” said Robin Evans-Agnew, RN, Ph.D., assistant professor at University of Washington-Tacoma and steering committee member of the Puget Sound Asthma Coalition. Schmidt and Logan were early leaders in the community health worker movement. During their years at Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, these frontline public health workers built relationships with families across the county to offer culturally appropriate social support and in-home services to address asthma and chronic respiratory illnesses. “Gen and Etta take this important work personally,” said Judy Olsen, environmental health specialist and Clean Air for Kids coordinator. “The help that they provide to kids and families shows a strong commitment to protect and improve health for Pierce County residents,” said Olsen. As part of their work in the Department’s Clean Air for Kids program, Schmidt and Logan evaluate children for asthma control, identify asthma triggers and offer solutions to parents, and develop a plan for asthma management during home visits. This service is free to clients and is available without a doctor’s referral. Details about the program and asthma resources are on our web site, tpchd.org.

The City of Tacoma, in coordination with the Tacoma Community Redevelopment Authority (TCRA), has low-interest financing available to help Tacoma’s small businesses grow. Affordable financing is available through a small business loan fund program. Loans range from $25,000 to $300,000, and offer favorable loan terms and a fixed interest rate as low as 75 percent of the prime rate. Proceeds may be used to acquire property; perform tenant improvements; purchase furniture, fixtures and equipment; or as working capital. Eligibility requirements apply. Loan funds must be used to fill the gap between the total financing needed to start or expand a business and the amount the borrower will contribute to the project via a combination of equity and funding provided by a senior lender, such as a bank or community development financial institution. Small businesses located within Tacoma city boundaries that can commit to creating a minimum of one fulltime job per each $100,000 borrowed may be eligible. Approximately $1 million is currently available to lend. The small business loan fund program is made possible with money provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration. The financing is therefore restricted for use as small business loans. More information about the loan program, or an application for financing, is available through Jacinda Howard in the Community and Economic Development Department jhoward@ cityoftacoma.org or (253) 591-5221.

Our View

Passing the smell test for methanol The plans for a methanol plant on the Tacoma tideflats have been in the works for more than a year, when the Port of Tacoma approved a 30-year lease for Northwest Innovation Works to site a two-pipe system on the former Kaiser Aluminum plant location. Those plans jumped to four pipelines last year when Chinese President Xi Jinping swung by the City of Destiny. Now the proposal is starting its environmental review process. The city issued a 17-page laundry list that outlines the scope of work the environmental review should address and what it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Each public hearing on just this draft alone has drawn capacity crowds and marathon marches that have spilled over into City Council open forums and into public comment at Port of Tacoma Commission meetings. Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern neighbor Federal Way held an emergency meeting to pass a resolution against the project, and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians fears the plant would further harm an already hurting ecosystem for salmon and wildlife. The mayor of University Place hopes to add that cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to the opposition list. Now, to be fair, the Environmental Impact Statement is tasked with addressing those concerns since there are more questions than facts at this point. At least, that is how it works in theory. With a pricetag of $3.4 billion, maybe there is a way to mitigate the volume of water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10.4 million gallons a day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enough for 320,000 houses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the plant would use as well as safety concerns surrounding what would be a one-of-a-kind facility on the industrial tideflats. Sure, there are benefits the planned plant would bring. There are the 1,000 trade builders who would receive paychecks during construction and the 260 chemical workers who would be on the payroll when the plant starts operation. The plant would return the site back onto the industrial tax rolls locally and would take a step toward weaning China away from coal-fired plants that are currently feeding into the troubles of global warming. But is the plant right for Tacoma? Should a city with a pock marked history of industrial residents be home to what would be the largest methanol-conversion plant in the world just so the world could have a cheaper and greener pipeline for plastics? Voice your opinion at the next public hearing on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center ballroom (1500 Broadway). Doors will open at 5 p.m. for speaker sign-up and the meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.

AnSwer not entirely blowinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in wind

By Don C. Brunell

In 1962, songwriter Bob Dylan composed "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind." It was a Vietnam War protest song suggesting the ambiguous answer to ending war and living in peace and harmony was â&#x20AC;&#x153;blowinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the windâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;Ś.somewhere. Today, wind power is an important part of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity generating system and it will be essential in the decades ahead. The question is how much of it can we reasonably produce to meet our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing electrical demands? While people support wind power, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hip about seeing thousands of additional acres lined with rows of 500-foot â&#x20AC;&#x153;wind mills.â&#x20AC;? The protests against are growing and now stretch from Vermont to California. In Vermont, a group of 24 bipartisan legislators introduced a bill which would ban wind projects over 500 kilowatts. Since the average single industrial turbine has a 1.5 megawatts capacity, new wind farms would be toast. Last year in California, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to ban large wind turbines in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unincorporated area. Board Supervisor Michael Antonovich told the Wall Street Journal that â&#x20AC;&#x153;wind turbines create visual blightâ&#x20AC;? and contradict the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural dark skies ordinance in areas such as the Santa Monica Mountains. In Washington, protesters even tried to stop the small family-owned Whis-

tling Ridge project on wind swept, logged-over timberland near Bingen. The 50-turbine project was tucked away behind the hills and out of the visual impact area of the Columbia River Gorge. In fact, only a handful of residents would see a few wind turbines when looking out their back windows. That project is in limbo. In the Northwest, drivers on our east-west interstate highways see miles of wind turbines on what was once unobstructed open prairie. In fact, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest wind farm, Shepherds Flat, covers 30-square miles along Interstate 84 near Arlington, OR. The good news is Shepherds Flat produces enough electricity each year to supply 235,000 households and reduces carbon emissions by the equivalent of taking 200,000 passenger vehicles off road. By contrast, its power output is one-quarter of Grand Coulee Dam. If America is to double its current wind power production to 10 percent by 2020, it will need many more wind farms the size of Shepherds Flat. Setting the goal of 30 percent by 2030, as the U.S. Dept. of Energy envisions, is pie in the sky. The pertinent question for wind advocates is where are the acceptable and available sites where the airsteam is powerful and consistent enough to turn turbines? Remember, many of the prime locations are already developed and in production. Wind and solar power generation

needs to be augmented with power plants which produce electricity at all hours of the day and all year around. Today, that consistent production comes largely from coal, natural gas, nuclear and hydropower plants. The good news is the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) reports the cost of wind-generated electricity has fallen by two-thirds in the last six years. Costs of wind generation have been a formidable barrier. Despite costs and growing siting problems, American wind power now supplies electricity to the equivalent of 19 million typical American homes. In Washington, the two largest utilities, Puget Sound Energy and Snohomish County PUD, both use about 8 percent wind power to serve their customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity needs. Seattle City Light reports that 4 percent of its electric power comes from wind. However, the bottom line is our nation needs electricity from all sources. The key is to continue to make all energy sources more environmentally friendly and affordable. In reality, answer to our energy future is only partially â&#x20AC;&#x153;blowinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wind.â&#x20AC;? Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

looking for AmericA

By Winslow Myers

In the New Hampshire primary, we have raised up an authentic firebrand in one party, and in the other a classic purveyor of fear and simplistic solutions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; results that remind us of what we have always half-known: we are a country split by a profound â&#x20AC;&#x153;doubleness.â&#x20AC;? On the one hand, we are the city on the hill upon whose gates a world of refugees is knocking to get in. On the other hand we are a young nation that has never really come to terms with how we built our unequaled economic and military power: by slave labor and imperial violence. These twin evils continue to bear fruit in the widening split between rich and working poor, and in addiction to the war and corruption that feed our militaryindustrial-political-media complex. It would be an overreach to say that our disaffection with self-entitled political royalty like the Clintons and Bushes arises directly from a fully informed consciousness of the twin evils of our national heritage. But we are clear that all is not well, even if we remain reluctant to face the causes directly. This vague unease has benefited both Trump and Sanders. Can our polarized body politic identify a core consensus of values that transcends our cultural deadlock? One place to begin is a speech Martin Luther King Jr. delivered at Riverside Church in 1967, one year before he was assassinated. King is clearly reading his text, rather than riffing sponta-

neously as he did in the more famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Have a Dream.â&#x20AC;? Listen and follow the transcript: www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkatimetobreaksilence.htm King declares the unequivocal evil of the United States intervention in Vietnam. But he goes further, using Vietnam as an example of something diseased in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective psyche, and tying our military adventurism to our willingness to accept racial injustice and poverty at home. He argues that we must change from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society, or we have no chance to overcome the â&#x20AC;&#x153;giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism.â&#x20AC;? He asserts that a country that continues year after year to spend more on the military than on social programs â&#x20AC;&#x153;is approaching spiritual death.â&#x20AC;? Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prophetic eloquence could not be more relevant in 2016. The U.S. wants its own way, not realizing that the success of our way depends now upon the success of the entire community of nations. This is undeniable when it comes to the issue of climate instability, but it is also true regarding the endless cycle of war. We are stubbornly convinced that it is our destiny to fix the horrendous chaos of the Middle East, but we are fixated on the notion that â&#x20AC;&#x153;solutionsâ&#x20AC;? inevitably require military intervention. No longer can the United States resolve the daunting chaos of the international scene by being the primary seller of arms to a bewildering mass of parties

in murderous conflict. No longer can we maintain the double standard that says we can renew our own nuclear arms at obscene expense to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe,â&#x20AC;? even after we signed treaties requiring us to move deliberately toward worldwide abolition of nuclear weapons. Sadly, no longer can we say that we are morally superior to some other nations when it comes to sanctioning torture. Has it begun to dawn on us finally that war leads only to more war (even Trump seems to agree with Sanders about the waste of Iraq), and the trillions we have spent could have funded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and our remaining resources still could fund â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not only a global Marshall Plan to address the poverty and ill-health and alienation that are the root causes of terror, but plans to rebuild our own infrastructure to prevent more disasters like Flint? Trump and Sanders in their stark difference, both from each other and from establishment candidates, exemplify our national duality: fear mongering and oversimplification from Trump, idealism and authenticity from Sanders. Every four years we have a fresh chance to look both for the real America and for the best possible America. Fifty-seven years ago, King pointed the way.

METRO TACOMA FENCING CLUB INVITES YOU TO EXPERIENCE MIND, BODY AND SOUL EXERCISE

PHOTO COURTESY OF METRO TACOMA FENCING CLUB

EN GARDE. The Metro Tacoma Fencing Club is open to a variety of age groups, from children as young as seven to adults. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

acomans looking to better themselves in mind, body and spirit may want to check out the Metro Tacoma Fencing Club to dive head first into a sport that is not only physically engaging, but also a mental challenge as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an explosive stop-start sport with periods of high activity mixed with times of recovery,â&#x20AC;? said Metro Tacoma Fencing Club Vice President Angela Sienda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for your body and your mind. They often call it physical chess. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logic, strategy and tactic before you do the movements. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot about really setting up your attack and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of thought involved, but also thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the physical part.â&#x20AC;? The Club has been around since 1999 when several smaller groups got together to form it. As a result, the club is open to nearly any age group, from 7-yearold kids to senior citizens. Not only that, but the club offers beginning classes for people new to the sport and a competitive side for those more advanced. While beginning classes are offered, Sienda warns that fencing is a serious sport and it takes a

lot of work to become competitive. But the physical rewards pay off, as the sport gives you a near full body workout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high intensity sport, so you really have to have good endurance. It works upper body and lower body for advancing and reaching, and it builds your core. If your core is strong youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to move quicker, as you need to move your center of gravity down. We have a number of people that have lost a lot of weight in fencing. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working out because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about different things.â&#x20AC;? The Metro Tacoma Fencing club is a popular club in the area, allowing for a lot of social interaction with people of all ages, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep strategy or just bonding over a shared hobby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice about fencing is you have an interaction of all different ages. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that social part of it, talking about it or strategizing with other members. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a social component thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a part of it; probably the most important thing is your connecting with other people,â&#x20AC;? Sienda said. The social aspect combines with the mental and physical training to form a hobby thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly healthy on multiple levels.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With fencing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly growing. It keeps you engaged. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent exercise that works your whole body. It also challenges your mind because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sport where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never in it by yourself. I think it just makes you a stronger person, and it teaches you how to problem solve,â&#x20AC;? Sienda said. The Metro Tacoma Fencing Club is open most evenings. Check metrotacoma.wordpress.com/ home/schedule for a complete schedule for everything from lessons to competitions. The Club is willing to give a free demonstration to any Tacoma Weekly reader who stops by at 1106 S. 15th St. For more information call (253) 830-4127.

GooGle expeditions takes Columbia students all around the world

PHOTO BY DEREK SHUCK

Classes at Columbia took turns throughout the day experiencing Google's virtual tours, giving them perspective on abstract places they might be studying By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

On Friday Feb. 5, students at Columbia Junior High School got to go on field trips to the deserts of Egypt, the depths of the sea and even inside the human body, all without leaving their school. No, it wasn’t through the Magic School Bus, more like magic glasses courtesy of Google Expeditions. Google’s magic glasses to be precise. Representatives from the company outfitted students with various headsets throughout the day that gave the illusion of transporting them to another time and place. When students moved their head, the pictures in the headsets would adjust to show the new perspective, allowing students a 360 degree view of whatever their teacher wanted to present to them. “One of the things this does for kids is it gives them background information and knowledge that other kids may not have. They may not be able to walk through the Louvre, and I haven’t walked through the Louvre, so being able to picture that or swim the barrier reef or check out Mars or walk through a human heart, it just plays into so many experiential opportunities for kids that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” said Jeff Nelson, executive director of teaching, learning and innovation for Fife Schools. Using cardboard headsets, an iPad controlled what students were seeing as they looked around in virtual reality, getting a sense of scale of some

of the more famous locales on earth and beyond. There were modes for both free form and guided tours from teachers leading the class via the iPad. The glasses are great for history classes, for example, as tours are not limited by things like space and time. “There’s a lot of really interesting things we can do with it. In eighth grade we're talking about Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal Act, so we did powwows to talk about that culture, which is an opportunity some kids don’t get to go through,” history teacher Michael Stro said. “It’s just more of an immersive view. It’s an amazing tool.” Google came to Columbia after Nelson discovered the program on the Internet, figuring that the far flung adventures would be perfect for the students at Columbia Junior High. “I saw this on Twitter actually and contacted Google and I think within 48 hours they said they were coming then Mark Robinson (principal at Columbia Junior High) and the staff pulled this together,” Nelson said. “We scheduled a rep to come out and they use the Google cardboard to go on virtual tours pretty much anywhere they want that has an expedition available.” Google recently announced an app for Android that will allow schools to experience the virtual expeditions without Google having to set it up. The app is in Beta stage right now, but the technology seems promising, and while they may not replace real field trips, the virtual expeditions open up the whole world for students.

Fantasy world hobby shop Closes its doors By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

For 70 years, Dave Kleinman’s family has been a vital part of the Tacoma business scene. His family started a hobby store in the Stadium District nearly 70 years ago, and since 1979 Kleinman has been running Fantasy World Hobby through various locations. Though the location of the shop has often moved around, their dedication to a friendly atmosphere with a great selection has never waned. Now, Fantasy World, located at 10011 Lakeview Ave. SW, will be closing its doors in the coming weeks. “We’re aiming for the end of February,” Kleinman said. As the hobby industry has changed, focusing more on online sales, it has been increasingly difficult to keep the physical space open. As a result, Fantasy World is having a massive sale to clean out their inventory. Items are up to 70 percent off. It’s not just the products that are on sale, as everything from the chairs to the desks need to go. For a complete list, visit www. fantasyworldhobbies.com Kleinman and his family are moving away from retail and into the house flipping business. “I’ve been doing that for the last year and a half. It’s not as demanding as retail. I have some great employees; some have been with me for 25 years. I also want to thank our customers for 37 years with my business,” Kleinman said. Fantasy World has moved all around Tacoma in its tenured history. From the B & I to its current location in Lakewood, the legacy the shop leaves can be felt all over. “We helped introduce some major brands. We were the first one to introduce the Cabbage Patch Kids to the area,” Kleinman said. Fantasy World has also helped foster the revival of slot car racing, having tracks in the back of the store for customers

to race their cars on. Here’s what a couple customers have had to say about Fantasy World over the years: “I received very good service, prompt delivery, a fair price and plenty of help when I called. Who could ask for anything more? I will always go to your site first for all my RC/Slot Car hobby needs. And it’s the personal touch that counts with me...something we don't find too much anymore... thanks! – David M. “Thanks a lot for the can do attitude and the concerted effort you have made to help me out. I appreciate the great customer service from all the way around the world. (S. Africa). I only wish the stores around here would have at least some of the customer service Fantasy World Hobbies has shown. My entrance into the RC planes world has been made a good one after having received such a ‘let’s sort out the problem’ approach. Once again, thank you.” – Regards, Lawrence

Ruston business distRict sells bRicks foR commemoRative plaza By Eilish McLean Special to Tacoma Weekly

Those who frequent Ruston may have noticed a new face around North 51st and Winnifred Street. Located across the street from Don’s Market, the bronze bust of William Rust was installed and formally dedicated last year. The $30,000 bust was created by Gig Harbor artist Paul Michaels in order to commemorate this important figure in local history as a result of the project organized by local art guru Babe Leher before her passing last year. To offset the remaining cost of the project, the Ruston Business District is selling commemorative bricks to be included in a walkable plaza surrounding the bust. There are two options for the bricks. The first, priced at $100, is 4-inch by 8-inch in size and allows for three lines of inscription with 18 characters each. The second option is priced at $125 and allows for the same with the addition of a symbol. “The bricks are a great way to make a donation to the community, or to mark an event or honor somebody, to make them part of history,” said Ruston/Point Defiance Business District President John Trueman, who has already purchased one of the bricks with his wife. “The beauty of the bricks is that they’ll have a lasting presence in the community.” Rust was a businessman, philanthropist and an active leader in the community in the early 20th century. His ownership and operation of Tacoma Smelter and Refining had an incalculable influence on developing the area into what exists today. “Over 15 years, he built [Tacoma Smelter and Refining] into a huge thing, the biggest employer in Pierce County. He invested in a lot of other things, especially mining in Alaska, and he became a benefactor to Tacoma. He was on the chamber of commerce, spearheaded getting the Stadium Bowl built and also, through Pierce County, they invited the

The state transportation department, for example, still has to buy about 30 percent of the land along the route. This remaining third of the land will cost about half of the $250 million estimated for the total land required. Construction is set to being in July 2019 and will likely continue through 2031. The planned SR 167 extension is projected to cost $933 million and will be funded through the $16 billion Connecting Wash-

Army to make Camp Lewis in the area,” Michaels said. Rust encouraged the area around Tacoma Smelter and Refining, known as “Smelter,” to incorporate, which is why the name was changed to Ruston in his honor. One of Rust’s most notable accomplishments was serving as chairman of the board at Tacoma General Hospital and the creation of the Rust Trust, which covered half the cost of the construction of the Mary Bridge building that still exists

ington transportation package lawmakers approved last year. The road would start at the current junction of SR 167 and SR 161 (Meridian) to tie into Interstate 5, according to state reports. This project also includes the construction of a two-mile connection from I-5 to SR 509. These improvements will provide two lanes in each direction from Tacoma to Edgewood and Puyallup. This roadway, meant to provide a more streamlined route between the warehouse hubs of the Puyallup and Kent valleys to the shipping terminals on the tideflats, has been in the works for decades. Planning for a complete SR 167 actually dates back to the early 1950s. The I-5 and Port of Tacoma Road interchange was constructed in the 1960s to allow for a future connection to SR 167. Sections of the road opened in the 1970s and 1980s only to stall over money and property ownership questions. Planning for the completion started again in 1990,

today. “No visible credit is given to Rust’s contributions at the Mary Bridge building, by his request,” said Trueman. “It was important to a lot of people that his story be told.” This connection with the hospital led MultiCare to make a generous donation to the project, which was created under the fiscal sponsorship of the Tacoma Historical Society.

ART HOUSE. The Gallery's Parkland location is located off of

Mountain Highway East. The building houses a decorative interior that makes buying cannabis a classy affair. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

“The Gallery” may not sound like the name of a cannabis store, but the image the name brings to mind is exactly what owners Michael Henery and Tedd Wetherbee want customers to think about when their business pops into their mind. The Gallery’s first store opened at 13005 Pacific Ave S. last March, and its success has led to the creation of a new store in Parkland at 21802 Mountain Hwy. E. The Gallery’s advantage is in its presentation. Walking into the stores feels more like visiting an art museum than a cannabis shop, hence the name. The Gallery hopes to elevate the level of consciousness of the average consumer while providing them a unique and beautiful retail option. The shop offers a wide selection of flowers, concentrates, edibles and pre-rolls ensuring anyone can find what they need at one of the locations. “We try to offer a really premiere experience in retail marijuana. We really want to make a nice enjoyable experience for everyone coming in. A lot of people have selection and pricing, but the difference is when you walk into our store you’re walking into an art gallery rather than a marijuana shop,” Henery said. The selection and atmosphere

make The Gallery an ideal shopping experience for both newcomers to cannabis and old pros. “The first thing [customers] are going to notice is that they will feel incredibly comfortable. Our staff is professional and engaging and they can help you through any questions. I guess for someone that just wants to try out marijuana for the first time, we have edibles and concentrates, but we have an incredibly knowledgeable staff that can help you,” Henery said. The Gallery was created with the idea that everyone should have access to a high-end retail experience for their cannabis needs. Why should the former nature of the marijuana industry carry over into the world of legal recreational sales? It shouldn't. That's why we now have The Gallery. Henery and Wetherbee are two of the leaders in The Alliance to Protect I-502, as Pierce County prepares for an advisory vote in April that could lead to an extended ban on pot shops in unincorporated Pierce County. The team at The Gallery is fighting to show that marijuana businesses belong. The Gallery’s locations are open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Visit www.thegalleryco.com or call (253) 5314000.

between 68 and 74 children aged 12 months to five years, will give priority to UWT faculty, students and staff, but enrollment is still open. There are only two other Children’s Museums in the country that offer a children’s childcare center, meaning that the addition here locally is another innovative step for the Tacoma museum. The center is located in the lower level of the United Way Building at 1501 Pacific Ave., where the Children’s Museum is also housed. It was designed by local BCRA architects to follow the principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy of childcare. “We wanted the space to be an inspiration for children, to inspire them toward creativity and exploration,” said Children’s Museum Deputy Director Brenda Morrison. Every parent will have their own security code for the entrance to the space, which opens to a dining area. For both breakfast and lunch a chef will serve a variety of fresh, nutritious options. Parents are welcome to stay and eat breakfast as well, which will be served on real dishware. “There’s no plastic,” said Morrison, “I don’t think we need it.” In addition, there are plans to set up a garden in the outdoor play space so that in the future the children could be eating what they grow. This is all part of the larger effort to make sure the children feel that they’re contributing to their learning experience. The facility has two toddler rooms, each with a capacity of 14 children, as well as two pre-school classes with 20 children each. These classes will each be supervised by two main teachers, as well as other staff, all of whom have plenty of experience and at least a bachelor’s degree. The director of the

program, Christina Aubel, has a BA in visual art, a Master’s in early childhood curriculum and instruction, as well as 30 years experience. Other staff members have a variety of backgrounds, including a professional artist, a former yoga instructor and an ESL teacher, which is just one of the reasons The Muse is such a unique program. It plans to offer collaborative art among the children to help build a sense of community, using high quality art supplies such as clay – a far cry from the macaroni necklaces most people remember from when they were young. The Children’s Museum space will also be utilized, though it is not currently clear how often. The museum is closed to the public on Tuesdays and though the mornings are blocked out for use by children with special needs, there is a block of space in the afternoon where The Muse may be able to have a private play time. All Muse families are also Museum members, so they will be welcome to drop by any other time during the week as well. Then there’s the outdoor play space, which will include a mud kitchen and array of donated sculptures. “We’ll go outside twice a day, every day, rain or shine,” said Morrison. For the little ones, that will mean there will be no shortage of play time. As The Muse is a licensed childcare center, there will be a curriculum for the pre-school children. Organized learning time will happen several times a day, but The Muse also plans to incorporate plenty of instances of self-guided exploration for the children, guiding them as they learn independently from their environment. “We want children to feel capable and contributing,” said Morrison. “We aspire for them to be creative and loved.” Certainly, The Muse seems to be a place where this is possible.

begin 2016, it seems to be a good moment for reflection, study, and the building of productive and creative ways forward. A collaborative effort of PLU’s departments of Environmental Studies, Philosophy and Global Studies as well as the Wang Center for Global Education, the two-day conference will be keynoted by award-winning scholar, anti-globalization author and environmental activist Vandana Shiva. Other notable speakers include Shane Lopez, a Gallup Senior Scientist and advocate for psychological reform of America’s education system; Juan Villoro, arguably Mexico’s most important living author and political commentator; Enrique Lomnitz, an internationally-recognized leader in water management and sustainability; and Adia Benton, a medical anthropologist and global health researcher who examines resilience in post-epidemic contexts. Symposium speakers will be traveling to PLU from as far away as Delhi, India (Shiva), Mexico City (Lomnitz and Villoro) and Oslo, Norway (Grete Brochmann). Others are industry and thought leaders from the U.S. and Seattle-Tacoma region, including representatives from a variety of international disaster-relief agencies: A featured speaker at the symposium, PLU alumnus (class of 2008) Joshua Cushman is a Language Arts teacher at Lincoln High School (where he also went to high school) and he also coaches wrestling, foot-

A grassroots effort, called RedLine Tacoma, is growing. It has more than 2,200 followers on Facebook. Members and supporters are flooding City Council and Port of Tacoma Commissioners meetings to voice their opposition. The most recent hearing that actually listed the methanol plant on the agenda included more than 100 speakers and 1,000 attendees. The meeting was the second in the series about what an environmental review should address. It lasted five hours. Only two speakers supported the proposal: union iron worker Chris McClain and the Bruce Kendall, CEO of the Economic Development Board of Tacoma-Pierce County. Both talked about the jobs the plant would create for the region and the high environmental standards it would have to follow as it returns the industrial site back to the “working water front,” which already has numerous heavy industrial businesses. “The methanol plant would be just another such example,” Kendall said. Supporters of the plant have long said the methanolconversion process is safe and highly regulated, so a plant on the Tacoma tideflats would generate well-paying jobs, as the construction phase would employ 1,000 workers and the plant would have a payroll of about 260 when at full operation. Everyone else put the proposal into a category if its own. “This is not the second Narrows Bridge,” critic and union member Doug Mackey said of a construction site that gave the region a boost of civic pride. “This is something different.” The planned plant would return Tacoma to its “aroma” heritage, born by heavy industrial use as “Seattle’s dirty backyard” that led to Superfund sites that the city is just now starting to outgrow.

Mary attended Wesleyan University where she studied English and Philosophy and was introduced to higher education inside prison programs. The wide assortment of disciplines and vocations represented by symposium speakers are crucial to an expansive examination of the event’s theme of resilience and represent the foundational mission of the conference, Shah said. “We hope to demonstrate the connection between the local and global issues, recognizing that the world is interconnected and thus we can’t examine one place in a vacuum, without context,” she said. The symposium will attempt to answer a wide range of questions about the qualities and constitution of resilience, including: What intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors contribute to resilience? Are there cultural, social, economic and environmental factors that can contribute to, or impede, the efforts of the most vulnerable to overcome adversity? Can resilience be “built” or “learned”? How helpful is it to develop resilience-based policies? The symposium’s theme is also related

million tons each year. The natural gas used at the facility would flow into the Tacoma plant through a 10-mile pipeline that would run from the regional pipeline in unincorporated Pierce County, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians reservation, and the cities of Sumner, Puyallup, Fife, Tacoma and potentially others since the specific route has not been formalized. It would be the largest of three plants NWIW wants to build, with projects slated for Kalama, just outside of Longview, and along the Columbia River in Clatskanie, Ore. If all are built, the three facilities would make 14.4 million metric tons of methanol each year, more than double the combined 6.5 million tons currently produced at all of the other facilities around the nation, putting the Pacific Northwest at the epicenter of a growing industry to shift the world away from coalburning plants to lower-emission options.

for the Northwest Innovation Works proposed methanol plant, the meeting has been rescheduled to Wednesday, Feb. 24, at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center ballroom (1500 Broadway). Doors will open at 5 p.m. for speaker sign-up and the meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. The Center for Urban Waters will be hosting a discussion series about the methanol plant in the coming months. Speakers will lead the series that is intended to provide a common understanding of the technical and scientific aspects of this complex project. Those meetings are set for 6 p.m. on Feb. 25, March 3 and March 10 at University of Washington Tacoma’s Joy Building. These events will be recorded so the video from each of the meetings will be available after each session. Information about the series can be found at: Tacoma.uw.edu/ methanol. Reservations are free but required. Written comments about the scope of the environmental study will be accepted through March 4.

ment and British Petroleum, wants to build what would be the world’s largest naturalgas-to-methanol plant on 125 acres of land at 3400 Taylor Way on Tacoma’s tideflats. The site was home to the former Kaiser Aluminum facility and is being leased from the Port of Tacoma. The methanol from the plant would then be shipped to Dalian, China to make olefins, a key petrochemical component of plastic that is then used for everything from plastic bottles to cell phone components. The proposal has been in the works for more than a year but is just now reaching the environmental review phase. The latest formal hurdle in the review process came earlier this month when city planners released a 17-page draft of what environmental, safety and economic issues the environmental study for the plant has to address in the permit- NEXT STEPS ting process.

It would also use 450 megawatts of electricity, enough to power light 320,000 households. It would be located in the industrially zoned tideflats, which is already home to other petrochemical facilities, a planned liquefied natural gas plant, railroad tracks, shipping terminals and residential neighborhoods in Browns Point and Fife.

s basketball teams approach the midway point of the postseason, it’s looking like the chances are high of a few Tacoma teams crashing the party and making it to the Tacoma Dome, the Yakima Sun Dome, or the Spokane Coliseum for their respective state tournaments. As of this issue of the Tacoma Weekly, there were 13 Tacoma-area schools still in the running for a shot at it all, with nine teams still battling for a district title. The Wilson boys and girls, Bellarmine boys and girls, Lincoln girls, Curtis boys, Franklin Pierce girls, Charles Wright girls and Life Christian boys are all still alive for a district crown, with both Wilson teams looking to defend their titles. Meanwhile, the Lincoln boys, Foss boys, Curtis girls and Washington boys are still battling through the consolation rounds looking to hammer down a fifth or sixth seed to the regional round. One of the early round shockers of the postseason was the 3A West Central District quarterfinal loss by the Narrows League champion Lincoln Abe boys. The matchup pitted Lincoln against Peninsula, the runners-up from the 3A South Puget Sound League. The two teams were ranked in the Associated Press top-10 and it proved to be the sort of exciting contest that one would hope from such a surprising matchup so early in the district tournament. It must be noted that the game was marred by what this writer considers to be the worst half of officiating I’ve seen in three years covering high school basketball in Tacoma. One never wants to see a game and outcome affected by a crew of three referees, and to be honest, we’re not sure if the outcome would have been any different. What we are sure of is that the magnitude of the contest, and two high-caliber teams involved, deserved better in the second half. The flow of the game was pushed and pulled by inconsistent calls, ranging between fouls unseen in the stands, to bodies sprawled on the floor. There were also fantastic defensive stops that could and should have been rewarded; instead it turned into free throws for the offense. After the game, there were more than a few raised eyebrows around the Rogers gymnasium, and we would be out of line not mentioning this. Fifth-ranked Peninsula would pull out a nailbiting 68-66 victory in the end, somehow dodging u See BASKETBALL / page A13

It looks like it has come down to that moment where the fans start to throw out sayings like “It’s now or never” or “It’s do or die time.” After two hard fought losses on the road last week, the Tacoma Stars find themselves with miniscule wriggle room when it comes to their playoff hopes and dreams in this first full season in the Major Arena Soccer League. With two games left on the regular season schedule, Tacoma will now control their own destiny in the friendly confines of the ShoWare Center in Kent. While it’s awfully nice to have some home cooking to wrap up the season, the Stars (11-7) will be welcoming two of their toughest opponents of the season for dinner and it is going to take their best soccer of the season to extend themselves into the postseason. The San Diego Sockers come to the ShoWare on Saturday, Feb. 20 on the heels of a 5-4 victory over the Stars in San Diego on Thursday, Feb. 11. Dating back all the way to the 1980’s, the Sockers have usually been on the winning end of matches against Tacoma. If they were planning on beginning to turn that trend around, as far as this season goes, it really is now or never. San Diego now sits alone at 11-6 in the MASL Pacific Division with three games to play. Aside from their match with the Stars, the Sockers return home for what should be two creampuff games against Turlock (3-13) and Dallas (7-10), so the chances of Tacoma catching the Sockers for that second slot will probably take some form of divine intervention. That leaves the third, and final, playoff spot

LOGGERS TO CELEBRATE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF EPIC MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM The University of Puget Sound’s NCAA Division II basketball champions of 1976 will celebrate their 40th anniversary March 12 in the UPS Fieldhouse. A 6 p.m. dinner, team recognition, and player awards are scheduled prior to a video showing of the national championship game.The Loggers of ’76 enjoyed the most successful season in Puget Sound history with 27 wins and seven losses in a 34-game schedule that included 11 NCAA Division I opponents. Winners of its final 13 games, UPS downed the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga 83-74 in the title tilt in Evansville, Indiana. Advancing to the final four, Puget Sound had tripped the University of North Dakota 80-77 with more than 4,500 fans looking on in the Fieldhouse a week earlier, and the game was considered one of the most thrilling ever staged in Tacoma. A buzzer-beating shot by North Dakota rolled off the rim and Rick Walker was there to rebound for the Loggers. Fouled with one second remaining, he made two free throws to ice the victory. One of the nation’s tallest teams, Puget Sound was led by All-America center Curt Peterson, a seven-footer, and a starting lineup of 6-8 Brant Gibler, 6-5 Rick Walker, 6-7 Tim Evans and 6-5 Rocky Botts. Every member of the starting five played his high school basketball in the state of Washington. Peterson was named the tournament’s MVP and Gibler made the all-tournament team with 22 points in the finale. Puget Sound was coached by Don Zech whose record of 405 victories at the University was the most in UPS history. He was named the NCAA Coach of the Year following the championship season.

Fans interested in joining the celebration may order tickets, at $25 each, through the UPS Athletic Department by March 1st. Checks made out to University of Puget Sound Athletics should be sent to 1500 No. Warner #1044, Tacoma, WA, 98416-1044.

TACOMA’S HOT TICKETS

LUTES FINISH IN STYLE WITH THIRD STRAIGHT WOMEN’S NWC TEAM SWIM TITLE The Pacific Lutheran women’s swimming team repeated their dominant 2015 performance, claiming the 2016 Northwest Conference Championship by more than 300 points as the Lutes capped a record-setting weekend for both the men’s and women’s teams Sunday, Feb. 13 night at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center. PLU claimed its third straight NWC Women’s Swimming Team Championship with a final score of 796, edging its 2015 total of 779 by 17 points. The PLU women capped yet another historic performance with four event titles Sunday night to add to their three championships on Friday and their five titles on Saturday. That gave the Lutes a total of 12 titles out of 18 events, including a sweep of all five relays for the second straight year. On the men’s side, the Lutes finished third in the team standings with 548 points, behind only champion Whitworth (700) and second-place Whitman (565). Linfield placed fourth (408), followed by Puget Sound (341), Willamette (219), Pacific (203) and Lewis & Clark (145).

Whitworth placed third (475), followed by Puget Sound (371), Linfield (363), Willamette (300), Lewis & Clark (234) and Pacific (155). Sellman was named NWC Women’s Coach of the Year for the fourth consecutive year. He is the first coach in conference history to claim the honor four years in a row. Erica Muller began the final evening session with a program record and conference title in the women’s 1650 freestyle. Muller’s time of 17:26.22 was an NCAA ‘B’ qualifier and surpassed her own program record of 17:34.67 set last year by more than eight seconds. Taylor Bingea finished sixth in the event (17:59.68), while Jessica Stenberg finished seventh (18:15.49). Hunter Cosgrove followed that performance with a record-breaking showing of his own in the men’s 1650 freestyle. Cosgrove set two program records during the men’s race, finishing with an NCAA ‘B’ qualifying time of 15:56.89 while also setting a team record with his 1000yard split time of 9:39.25. He battled Whitworth’s Brandon Smith through every stroke, as Smith held out for the event title by 0.48 seconds over Cosgrove. Bradley Jerome finished third for the Lutes, also posting a ‘B’ qualifying time of 16:03.78. Alex Weeks broke teammate Melissa Dean’s 100 freestyle record, as Weeks hit a ‘B’ qualifier and won the conference crown with a time of 52.1. Hanna Armstrong finished second with a time of 52.85, while Dean placed fourth for the Lutes (53.21).

Kylie Webb placed third (2:26.07), with Kiana Sullenberger placing fourth (2:26.11). Both Matt Wehr and Seth Villeda achieved ‘B’ standards in the men’s 200 butterfly Sunday. Villeda achived the mark in the prelims session with a time of 1:52.9, and he finished the night sixth overall (1:54.4), while Wehr peaked in the evening session with a fourth-place time of 1:53.42. Sarah Ameny finished second in the women’s 200 butterfly with a time of 2:10.19, while Bingea placed sixth (2:14.04). The Lute men battled Whitman all weekend for second place behind team champion Whitworth, and PLU fell just 17 points shy of its first top-two team finish since 1996. The men’s 200 backstroke featured two Lute placers, as Cody Hartman finished fourth (1:53.91) and Bryson Baligad took fifth (1:56.38). The men’s 200 breaststroke also had two PLU placers, with Bennon VanHoof in fifth place (2:08.76) and Dennis Liu in sixth (2:10.01). PLU closed out the meet with one final relay victory for the women and one final program title for the men. The women’s 400 freestyle relay team of Weeks, Armstrong, Shanell Sullenberger and Dean posted a championship time of 3:32.11, while the men’s relay team of Baligad, Paul Jett, Joseph Bowley and Wehr broke the 2015 record with a time of 3:08.2. Sunday totaled six program records, while the weekend tally for the two programs was 16 new program marks. That includes Friday’s Northwest Conference record in the women’s 200 freestyle relay. The Lutes also picked up six NCAA ‘B’ qualifiers on Sunday and finished with 12 overall on one of the most successful weekends in PLU Swimming history.

By Randy Rutledge Tacoma Weekly Correspondent

The West Central District showdown between the Kennedy Catholic Lancers and the Wilson Rams got off to a quiet start on Friday, Feb. 12. With leading scorers Emilio Mancol from Kennedy (averaging 19.5 points per game) and two-time Narrows League MVP David Jenkins, Jr. from Wilson (averaging 24.9) combining for just two first quarter points, both defenses held the score to 11-8 in favor of Wilson to end the first quarter. Coming off the bench for Kennedy, sophomore Simon Harris gave the Seamount champion Lancers a spark, scoring all eight of their first quarter points. The scoring pace began to pick up in the second quarter, led by Jenkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seven second quarter points for Wilson, with the junior Mancol and senior James Jolly each contributing five for Kennedy. With 1.2 seconds remaining in the half, Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matthew Sasonoff fouled Jenkins on a deep three-point heave, sending him to the line for three shots. Jenkins (who shot 12-13 from the free throw line on the contest) converted all three, giving Wilson a 28-20 lead at the end of the first half. Wilson began to pull away in the third quarter, led by strong play from seniors

Jenkins and Montre Brown-Lofton, a duo who accounted for all of Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21 third quarter points. Jenkins would finish with 27 points and Brown-Lofton with 11, the only Rams to score double digits, though junior Anthony Stokes and sophomore Emmitt Matthews, Jr. each added nine points. With four seconds remaining, Jenkins put an exclamation point on his already strong quarter of play, hitting a deep, contested three-pointer that pushed the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to 49-33. Kennedy, determined to keep their winning streak alive, went down swinging, making nine shots from the field to Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two in the fourth quarter and cut the deficit to seven points. Wilson, however, was able to quell the comeback with timely free throw shooting, connecting on eight of 11 attempts from the line in the quarter en route to their 62-54 victory. Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense held Mancol to 10 points (half of his season average) and Harris to 11, despite the latterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot start. Wilson will take on the fourth-ranked Auburn Mountainview Lions in the district semifinals at Rogers High School after the current issue of the Tacoma Weekly goes to press. Should the Rams win, they will play winner between Peninsula and Enumclaw on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 12 p.m.

Foss falls to Auburn Mountainview and then fends off elimination against T-Birds In game two of a West Central District doubleheader at Clover Park High School on Friday night, the Foss Falcons took on the Auburn Mountainview Lions in a winner to regionals matchup. Though Foss is no stranger to playing talented opponents, they would have their hands full with the 3A South Puget Sound League champion Lions, who entered the game on a 10-game winning streak (their second such streak of the season, broken up only by a loss to Peninsula). Led by juniors Roberto Gittens, who was selected first team All-Narrows league just days before, and Donald Scott, Foss entered the game battle-tested, having suffered dreadfully close losses to in-league rivals Wilson and Lincoln. The teams traded baskets in the opening minutes, until the Lions ripped off a 15-2 run late in the first quarter to gain a 13 point lead; one they would never relinquish. Senior Kiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Jan Weisinger played a big role in the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run, scoring 10 of his 16 points in the first period to give Auburn Mountainview a 21-10 lead at the end of the first quarter. The fourth-ranked Lions expanded their lead in the second quarter on the strength of their balance; four of their

starters finished with at least 13 points, with senior Ryan Lacey leading the way at 23. Lacey and Miguel, who have played together since third grade, will continue to play together next season for the Western Oregon Wolves. Laceyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine point third quarter helped bring the Lion lead to 43-25 by the end of the first half. Fossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comeback attempt was spearheaded by Gittens and Scott, who finished with 19 and 16 points, respectively. Though they connected on a higher volume of field goal attempts in the second half (13 to only six for Auburn Mountainview), Foss could never gain substantial ground, due to the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efficiency and volume from the free throw line, converting 21 of their 24 free throw attempts in the second half (23-26 on the game; 15-15 in the fourth quarter). In the end, the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience was too much for the young Falcons team (zero seniors), culminating in a 77-63 win for the Lions. Foss would move on to the consolation bracket and faced Mt. Tahoma in a loser out matchup Monday, Feb. 15 at Rogers High School. The Falcons were not friendly to their Narrows brother and nearly hit the century mark with a 99-70 victory with Gittens dropping 30 points, along with 27 from Scott. Foss will face Kennedy Catholic on Feb. 17 after the current issue of the Tacoma Weeky goes to press. Should the Falcons win, they will move on to play either Lincoln or Auburn Riverside on Saturday, Feb. 20 at Rogers at noon. A loss would bounce Foss from the district tournament.

out of the Pacific Division up for grabs. While the Stars currently sit in third place, the Ontario Fury (10-7) are but a half game behind, having played one less match. Aside from their Feb. 26 season-ending road trip against Tacoma, Ontario will face a mixed-bag over their two remaining games, and that is where things could get interesting when the final standings, and possibly tie-breakers, wash out. Ontario will host the Pacific Division leading Soles de Sonora (15-2) on Feb. 21 and then three days later they will host Turlock. One factoid that makes the Ontario matchup even more compelling is the fact that the Fury beat the Stars 9-6 in their only other meeting on Dec. 18 in California. That three goal advantage could be very important if the two teams enter the final game with an identical record - meaning the Stars would need to win by at least three goals to force the next level of tiebreaker, an overall goal differential, which

t Basketball several chances by the Abes to tie up the game, or possibly even claim the victory. Lincoln senior Brandon Cotton got off a half-court shot at the buzzer that hit the bottom of the backboard and the Abes would find themselves bounced to the consolation bracket and now fighting for their postseason life from here on out. Three days later, the Abes would put together a solid effort against Prairie for a 52-48 win, and moving them closer to a regionals berth. The sixth-ranked Abes will face Auburn Riverside on Feb. 17 after this issue of the Tacoma Weekly goes to press. If Lincoln (19-4) wins, they will face either Foss or Kennedy Catholic on Feb. 20 at Rogers High School at 12 p.m. However, a loss will knock Lincoln from the district tournament and end their incredible season. The 4A WCD boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tournament has a considerable Tacoma-area feel on one half of the semifinal bracket. The 4A Narrows champion and seventh-ranked Bellarmine Lions (19-3) and the SPSL South champion and second-ranked Curtis (22-2) Vikings cruised through their first two district games and will meet each other for a shot at facing either top-ranked Federal Way (22-0), or Kentwood for the district crown. Both teams have already secured at least a fourth seed to the regional round. The 4A district title game will take place on Feb. 20 at Puyallup High School at 4 p.m. The 3A WCD girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tournament is beginning to look Lincoln (21-1) and Wilson (18-4) are destined to collide in the championship game on Feb. 20 at 2 p.m. at Puyallup High School.

Tacoma currently leads with a mark of plus-five versus plus-one. After adding up all the possibilities and variables, suffice it to say that these final two Tacoma matches are basically playoff games and fans should expect to witness some of the most exciting and physical play of the season. Going into their final road trip of the season, Tacoma was hoping to snag a victory from San Diego or Sonora, and put more of a stranglehold on a playoff spot. While the Stars put together some exceptional performances on the road against two of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, in the end they have found themselves with their backs against the wall. When the Stars visited San Diego it looked like the match might be a runaway for the Sockers by the end of the third quarter. After Kraig Chiles opened the game with a goal just over four minutes into the first quarter, both teams put in some serious defensive work and shut each other down for the remainder of the quarter. Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trevor Jensen would take a long feed from goalkeeper Danny Waltman early in the second quarter to tie the match at 1-1 with 12:36 left in the stanza.

The score held for over five minutes before the Sockers tagged the Stars for two goals and took a 3-1 lead into the locker rooms. San Diego would put together a strong defensive effort in the third quarter, while adding two more goals, taking a 5-1 lead into the final period. Tacoma would take advantage of two power plays in the fourth quarter to claw their way back into the match. Adam West took a feed from Joey Gjertsen just over four minutes into the period to make it 5-1. Three minutes later, Troy Peterson would go solo with his own goal and the score was now 5-3 with 7:32 left in the match. The Stars did their best to pepper the San Diego goal, but the Sockersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense put together some huge blocks, while goalkeeper Chris Toth racked up 21 saves on the night. Cory Keitz would close the score to 5-4 with just under two minutes to play, on a solo blast of his own. It was a wild finish, but Tacoma was unable to find that equalizer goal and had to look south to Mexico for hopes of a win on this road trip. Depending on who is throwing their two bits in around the country, Soles de Senora is usually considered among the top

two or three teams in the MASL. Factor in a whopping 14.3 goals per game average at home, and odds were not in the Starsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favor for this match. As fate would have it, aside from two short stretches where Sonora seemed to drop an avalanche of goals from out of nowhere, the Stars were not only in the game, but led it 8-7 going into the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter is also known as Sonoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bread and butter, and they spread eight goals past the Tacoma defense, including two fourth quarter hat tricks by Franck Tayou and Alejandro Leyva. The Stars were still within two goals at 12-10 with just under six minutes remaining in the match, before Sonora closed out the contest with three more to win 15-10. Tacoma held the lead six times in the match and put together an exciting and potent effort against the league leaders, but in the end it was not to be. Tacoma hosts the San Diego Sockers on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 6:05 p.m. at the ShoWare Center in Kent. The Stars conclude their regular season against the Ontario Fury on Friday, Feb. 26 at the ShoWare Center. First kick is set for 7:35 p.m.

making short work of their earlyround games and have also already qualified for no-less than the fourth seed to the regional round. Lincoln will face Prairie in one semifinal, while Wilson will have a stiffer test against fifth-ranked Auburn Riverside. Both semifinals will go down on Thursday, Feb. 18 at Franklin Pierce High School. Lincoln plays at 6 p.m. and Wilson plays at 7:45 p.m. The Bellarmine (16-6) girls escaped a quarterfinal loss in the 4A WCD against Kentridge. The Lions pulled out a 49-44 overtime win that looked like a Lion loss until a fourth quarter surge knotted the game at 40 and Bellarmine would then take care of business in overtime. The victory pushes Bellarmine into the semifinals where they will meet ninth-ranked Kentlake on Feb. 18 at Puyallup High School at 7:45 p.m. A win would send the Lions into the championship game against either fourthranked Todd Beamer or Gig Harbor on Feb. 20 at Puyallup High School at 6 p.m. A loss would send the Lions to Mt. Tahoma on the same night at 5:30 p.m. The 2B Pacific League champion Life Christian boys have advanced to the championship game of the Southwest District Four tournament against Mossyrock on Feb. 20 at W.F. West High School at 8 p.m. The fourth-ranked Eagles have run their record to 21-2 on the season and look to earn a higher seed to the state tournament if they can get through the regional round. Mossyrock upset second-ranked and two-time defending state champion Morton-White Pass 60-46 in the semifinals to meet the Eagles. The Curtis girls were tripped

If the Vikings (17-7) can get by Olympia on Feb. 18 at Mt. Tahoma High School, they will play for the fifth or sixth seed to regionals on Feb. 20 at Mt. Tahoma. A loss to Olympia will end the Vikings season. The Franklin Pierce girls will meet Port Angeles in the 2A West Central/ Seaking district semifinals on Feb. 18 at Foss

High School at 6 p.m. The Charles Wright girls will meet Coupeville on Feb. 17 in the 1A WCD semifinals. Already earning a spot in the regionals, a win would sent the Terriers into the district finals on Feb. 20 at Foss at 2 p.m. against either Seattle Christian or Bel-

levue Christian. The Washington Patriot boys are still alive in the 2A districts and will face Renton in a loser-out game on Feb. 17. A Patriot victory would send Washington into the consolation finals on Feb. 20 at Curtis High School for a fifth or sixth seed to regionals.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

State, local and Puyallup tribal officials held a groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 18, 2015 for the next Interstate 5 project in Tacoma that will create a new bridge over the Puyallup River and reconstruct the I-5/State Route-167 interchange, commuter lanes and increase access to tribal properties. Pictured here are (left to right): Puyallup tribal member David Duenas; State Representative Hans Zeiger (R-25); Tacoma Deputy Mayor David Boe; Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud; State Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson; Hamilton Construction President Scott Williams; WSDOT Olympic Region Administrator Kevin Dayton; and Kierra Phifer with U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s office.

Considered among the most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has grown to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care

of not only its own membership but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,200 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities — approximately 70 percent

of whom are non-Native — employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2013, the Tribe spent more than $461 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. From sponsoring countless local

charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its welldeserved reputation as “the generous people,” a reflection of the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.”

SALISH INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY CARE CENTER Tribe opens state-of-the-art cancer center in Fife The Puyallup Tribe of Indians has opened a new, state-of-the-art cancer care clinic in Fife. Named the Salish Integrative Oncology Care Center (SIOCC), it is housed in the first floor of the Trans Pacific building that the Tribe has purchased, located at the Interstate 5/Port of Tacoma exit. “It is with full honor and dignity of our Tribal Council, tribal members, reservation and ancestors that I announce the opening of the Salish Integrative Oncology Care Center,” said Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud, noting that the center is the first Tribal-owned cancer care center in Indian Country and the United States. Opening the center fulfills the Puyallup Tribe’s vision of bringing integrative cancer care to Native Americans and non-Native Americans alike and to participate in cancer research. The Tribe’s goal is to target national and regional Native Americans fighting cancer. Although SIOCC serves non-Native individuals wanting an integrative approach for cancer treatment, this treatment will not diminish the services provided to Native Americans. Quite the opposite, as treating non-Natives will help ensure a viable and robust program for the underserved Native population. The 8,200-square-foot cancer center has 23 infusion chairs and features numerous amenities to make patients’ time there as comfortable as possible. For example, to help instill a serene atmosphere and peace of mind for patients, chemotherapy treatment rooms offer beautiful views of the majestic Mount Rainier. Outdoor treatment areas will be available in the spring and summer months. SIOCC is staffed by board-certified medical oncologists and naturopathic oncologists, as well as natural cancer care and complementary cancer care practitioners who are experts in providing innovative treatment for most types of cancer. “As the indigenous keepers of the Puyallup Tribe Indian Reservation, we have a strong ancestral bond with nature and creation. We believe that natural healing through traditional roots, berries, herbs and traditional healing can blend with modern oncology practices,” said Chairman Sterud. It is with the foundation of “integrative medicine” that the Puyallup Tribe hired the former providers of Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center to build upon traditional oncology (chemotherapy, radiation and other pharmaceutical treatments) with whole person integrative medicine, including

naturopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine and Native American treatments. “Most of our allopathic community doesn’t believe in how we practice medicine with complementary care,” said Kim M. Sunner, practice administrator. “However, the Puyallup Tribe, which has operated the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority since the early 1970’s, wants to build upon the established and proven success record that mixes traditional and natural healing.” Medical Oncologist Dr. Paolo Paciucci spoke in gratitude for the Puyallup Tribe’s vision and their resolution to sponsor an integrated oncologic care center in a setting of restorative tranquility and to have chosen the providers of the Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center team to carry out this vision. “I am very excited to continue to work with a group of people that practice cancer medicine in a setting that is quite different from that of com-

partmentalized, often fractured and ‘institutionalized’ model of larger oncology centers,” said Dr. Paciucci. “I have come to appreciate the kindness, humanistic and personal care that is delivered by this group of practitioners, nurses, coordinators and patient navigators whose foremost goal is that of delivering individualized and compassionate state-of-the-art medicine.” As Dr. Paciucci pointed out, one does not “cure” ailments with infusions of drugs only. “The friendly atmosphere, the attentive dedication of a team of professionals and the concurrent treatments imparted by a group of exceptional naturopathic practitioners help shatter the negative mythology associated with ‘cancer’ and its often fearful implications,” he said. For more information on the Salish Integrative Oncology Center, call Lauree Ombrellaro, Transition Manager, at (253) 382-6300 or visit www.SalishOncology.com.

PHOTO COURTESY OF MARVEL UNIVERSE LIVE

EXELSIOR! Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America and many more characters from the Marvel Universe are headed to Tacoma and Seattle. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

akima native Josh Murillo is living every 12-year-old boy's dream: He gets paid to Hulk smash. The 28-year-old stunt performer is a cast member of “Marvel Universe Live,” which will present dozens of iconic superheroes and villains in action Feb. 19 to 21 at Seattle's KeyArena and Feb. 25 to 28 at the Tacoma Dome. Murillo rotates into several roles, but his favorite part of the gig is donning a massive costume to play Marvel Comics' angry, green giant. “It's one thing to see it on a video or talk about it, but when there's actually a 10-foot Hulk standing in front of you it's really interesting,” Murillo said. “I remember the first time I saw it. One of my buddies was practicing in the Hulk, and he started moving toward me. It was like a giant elephant in the room or a rhino or something. I knew it was my friend, but it's still a really intimidating thing.” “Marvel Universe Live” was developed by Floridabased Feld Entertainment, known for Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey Circus and “Disney on Ice.” It debuted in Tampa in 2014. The family-friendly show features a storyline that

revolves around the quest for the Cosmic Cube, an artifact that gives its owner dominion over mankind. Spectacle from the comics and movies comes to life as the likes of Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Storm and Wolverine try to keep the Cube out of the wrong hands, pummeling goons, flinging automobiles and soaring through the air in the process. “All of the things you see in the movies as different kind of stunts, you're gonna see live onstage,” said Assistant Company Manager Jennifer Rubin, a native of Tacoma who lives in South Hill when she's not on the road. “We have motorcycle stunts. We have high falls. We light a guy on fire,” she said. “It's crazy, and there's action everywhere. It's hard to keep your eye on everything that's happening.” The performers' backgrounds are widely varied, she said, with a cast that includes Parkour performers, former X-Games winners and world-class martial artists. But Murillo took an especially roundabout route to joining the crew. After he graduated from Central Washington University, he was looking to jump-start a career in music. “I played about seven instruments,” he recalled. “So I decided to go to audio school from there, and I packed up and moved to Arizona.” From there, he moved to Los Angeles and landed work doing production for NBC Universal. On the side,

he developed a new obsession: CrossFit. “I started doing that full-time, and through that I met my wife,” he said. “And I met a bunch of people in Los Angeles who were doing stunts. I played baseball for 18 years, and I boxed for about 10 years, so I kind of had an athletic background. They were like, 'You'd be really good at this. You should try it.'” Murillo got a clue what role production managers might have in mind for him when he was asked to practice walking on stilts. He landed a role as Hulk's understudy, and his wife, Hayley, joined the cast, too. She plays multiple villain roles. She's also a burn tech, which leaves Josh in good hands on the nights he gets set on fire. “We don't get to beat each other up, but we do get beat up together,” Murillo said, laughing. “Being able to travel through Canada and the United States together through our first year of marriage has just been priceless. It's the best thing that's happened to me. It's a blast. I'm really, really blessed and grateful to have this opportunity.” Show times for Marvel Universe Live in Seattle are 7 p.m. Feb. 19, 11 a.m., 3 and 7 p.m. Feb. 20, and 1 and 5 p.m. Feb. 21. In Tacoma, show times are 7 p.m. Feb. 25 and 26, 11 a.m., 3 and 7 p.m. Feb. 27 and 1 and 5 p.m. Feb. 28. Tickets are $28 to $85, and are available through www.ticketmaster.com.

FIVE SURVIVING AND THRIVING “It won’t kill you to spend time with a friend who has AIDS,” states an iconic 1988 poster that shows a thin young man, alone in a blue room, with his head in his hands. Too often, those diagnosed with the disease were shunned or even abandoned by family and friends back then. This story and many others are documented in the free exhibit, “Surviving and Thriving: AIDS, Politics and Culture” which is on display at the University of Puget Sound’s Collins Memorial Library through March 20. Artwork, large poster panels and memorabilia tell the stories of people who lived with AIDS, died from it and who were involved in tackling the national crisis. Info: www.pugetsound.edu/calendar.

BLAST OFF. One of sculptor Alexander Keyes' cardboard rockets looks almost ready for a trip into space. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

The street level windows of downtown Tacoma’s old Woolworth building (located on South 11th St. between Commerce and Broadway) have long served as a venue for rotating art installations. Nearby are the Pantages Theater with its open green space and a row of antique buildings including the Pythian Temple. Douglas Granum’s bronze masks and stone sculptures dot the area. Outside the showcase windows – in a satellite position – stands the Tollbooth Gallery, the concrete, 70s-era kiosk fitted with a video monitor. It is pleasant to be in the heart of the city, lazily window gazing at the art installations and lingering in front of the endless video art. The shows are often wonderfully strange, thought provoking and magically fantastic. As I stand loitering at the windows, passersby seem more curious about me looking at the art than about the art behind the windows. People on the city streets seem habituated to hurrying about with a sense of urgency. A person standing still and looking into the windows – not striding along or glued to a hand held screen or yapping at a cellular phone – is an object of curiosity, if not outright suspicion. I gaze into the glass enclosures studying the art inside, trying to overlook the presence of my own reflection superimposed on everything I see. People pass, traffic flows, a siren calls in the distance and the artwork under glass

catches my fancy. The current crop of installations opened in December and will run through March 17. The most fascinating of these is Alexander Keyes’ “to:europa” exhibit in the window on the Commerce Street side of the building. Keyes is like a devotee of a cargo cult; a hopelessly earthbound, would-be member of a space faring civilization that is frustratingly out of reach. Keyes converts the materials of his native environment – plywood, corrugated cardboard and cereal boxes – into intricate rocket ships. These vessels are on display sans outer skin so that one gets an x-ray view of their innards. Layer after layer of the ship is open to view. Each layer is filled with little sub structures: walls with doorways and little windows made of cereal box cardboard. One ship with fins made of beer boxes is laid horizontally across two supports made of 2x4s. It has four rocket boosters at its rear end. It is a remarkably accurate model of an Apollo style rocket ship. A second, even larger rocket, in a partial state of completion, stands off toward the back of the space. There is also a tall shelving unit made of whitewashed plywood. This holds a video monitor showing barely decipherable scenes of octopuses. Some of the shelves are empty. One near the bottom, however, is packed with magazines. The page edges (not the spines) face the viewer so that one cannot tell what magazines they are. Are they a hoard

of old issues of Popular Mechanics? Maybe they are a stash of technical manuals from the NASA program. A “star map” on the back wall turns out to be a quilted packing blanket that was used as a drop cloth. In the context of the rocket ships, the paint spatters and rings left by dripping paint cans read as stars and planets. As a whole, “to:europa” has the appearance of a busy shipyard with great vessels in varying stages of completion. There is an unfinished aesthetic about it all. Keyes does not worry about covering up the coating, the raw cardboard, nor the printing on the cereal boxes. He wants it to be obvious what these constructions are made of. Keyes renews one’s appreciation for corrugated cardboard as a versatile and workable material. From this abundant resource, the artist has but to apply his imagination, crafting skills, time and energy to transform it into the most fantastic and inspirational of things. It is truly enchanting to see something so intricately handcrafted in the context of an increasingly digitized visual culture and in opposition to the artistic-materials-industrial complex that wants to mandate that art must be made of precious, costly materials. Keyes earned his Bachelor of Arts degree for University of Puget Sound in 2010, and his Master of Fine Arts from University of Oregon in 2014. His window display will be visible through March 17.

The Lakewood Playhouse is proud to present the fourth show of its 77th Season: the debut presentation of the American classic “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller. This production will also mark the continuation of the Playhouse’s year-long celebration of its 50th anniversary of the very building that all of Lakewood Playhouse’s productions are performed in – The Lakewood Playhouse Theatre. From “Taming of the Shrew” in its first year to “Avenue Q” at the end of this season, Lakewood Playhouse will have presented more than 300 Productions at this venue that was first built for the theater in 1965 by the Lakewood Arts Foundation. This production is presented in the Lakewood Playhouse’s “Thrust” configuration with seating on three sides of the stage. With this unique viewing opportunity “Death of a Salesman” will drop you right into the middle of this emotional family drama. This production is made possible through generous Sponsor – Pacific Air Systems (http://pacificairsystems.com/). “Death of a Salesman” will be directed by Lakewood Playhouse Associate Artistic Director James Venturni. He returns to the Lakewood Playhouse for the first time since directing our hit production of “The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940” in 2013. The production features a large cast filled with a number of returning actors from previous shows and some brand new performers to our stage. Featuring: Joseph Grant (Willy Loman), Martin Goldsmith (Charley), Charlie Stevens (Bernard), Dave Hall (Uncle Ben) and Curtis Beech (Stanley). And Introducing: Kathi Aleman (Linda), Tim Samland (Biff), Gabe Hacker (Happy), Jackie-Lyn Villava-Cua (Jenny/2nd Waiter) and Vivian Bettoni (Miss Forsythe). The story revolves around the last days of Willy Loman, a failing salesman who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived with his wife, his sons and his business associates, we discover how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him. A thrilling work of deep and revealing beauty that remains one of the most profound classic dramas of the American theatre. Parental Advisory: This show contains some mature content.

PEOPLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COMMUNITY CENTER IS A GREAT PLACE TO WORKOUT By Matt Kite

among other equipment. And if your preference is for group workouts, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re covered, too. Classes included Zumba, Taekwondo, RIPPED, MixxedFit, Yoga and SAIL (for seniors). A $7.6-million pool, meanwhile, is slated to open later this year. If the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Center sounds a lot like a typical fitness club, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because it is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with one important caveat. Yes, a recently installed stereo cranks out a soundtrack of 140-beats-perminute songs. And yes, a basketball court and other amenities beckon. But one thing is conspicuously absent: crowds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as crowded, especially if you know the best time to come in,â&#x20AC;? says Oksana Perrin, a 27-year-old member who, when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not chasing after her two children or working as a caregiver, loves to hone her physique at Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably have the place to yourself, so you can focus more on your workout.â&#x20AC;? Perrin became a full-time member about a year ago. She and her partner Lonnie Perrin, a personal trainer at Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, live less than a block away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a serious plus in her book. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the machines or the workouts that have kept her coming back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like a second home to us now,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know most everybody there. Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of just like

Fitness correspondent

Looking to get fit? If you live in Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban core, a little-known gem awaits your discovery: the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Center on Hilltop. Located at 1602 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness and weight-lifting facility has everything you need to get started, from free weights to yoga classes. And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a full-time member to break a sweat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of our members have been with the Center for over 10 years,â&#x20AC;? says Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supervisor Michael Bradley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come from all over, but we have more drop-in members that pay the $3. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense, but they are generally the younger people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to commit to a membership.â&#x20AC;? Full-time members pay $26 a month, but anyone can come in to lift weights or play basketball all day for a measly three bucks. That means sampling from an array of apparatuses designed to get your blood flowing: Technogym fitness equipment, treadmills, recumbent and upright stationary bicycles and elliptical and stair-climber machines. Bodybuilders will appreciate the Smith machine, free weights, kettlebells, resistance bands and a universal functional training system,

family now.â&#x20AC;? Bradley says Perrin isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only member to key into the friendly dynamic at Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, where most of the members know each other. The center is run by Metro Parks Tacoma, which boasts four other community centers in Tacoma and has made a concerted effort in recent years to promote fitness through everything from classes to 5-kilometer fun runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are looking for more than open space,â&#x20AC;? Bradley explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and park districts or city parks are trying to compete with the private sector. Our focus has been on an active lifestyle for the whole family. "The fitness and weight room has been a draw for people because of the accessibility of our facility and because it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been as busy as some of the other private fitness centers. We try to focus our center around a family atmosphere, where they can do some fitness, play basketball, swim and take some martial arts or music and dance classes all in one facility.â&#x20AC;? Visitors seeking personalized training need look no further than 44-year-old certified trainer Lonnie Perrin, known by his clients as Lonnie the Trainer. Lonnie offers a free consultation and assessment to members and first-time visitors alike.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I teach weight loss, injury prevention and rehab, muscle-building, posture correction, flexibility and nutrition,â&#x20AC;? says Lonnie, whose clients range from nurses hoping to lose weight to military personnel fresh off tours of Iraq or Afghanistan. Some clients need to overcome occupational stress, while others need help with hip or knee problems or need to strengthen their proprioception, the internal awareness of the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position and posture. All learn tools they can use even when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not working out under Lonnieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supervision. Lonnie has worked as a personal fitness trainer at popular fitness clubs but considers the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience superior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that feeling of everybody looking at you,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a meat market. "The focus is on working out, as opposed to a social hour. People arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t standing around texting and talking, four people to a machine. And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have someone trying to sell you something all the time. "Most of the time when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m there, the whole basketball court is empty, so I have my clients do all kinds of stuff on the court.â&#x20AC;? The Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Center might not remain a secret for long.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: PHISH Phish, the king of the Gen-X jam bands, is headed back to Washington this summer.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally a blast just watching Brad Paisley when the country guitar hero comes to town and shreds through his greatest hits. But imagine what a hoot it must be for fans to got to be in Paisleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show when it came to Tacoma on Saturday, Feb. 13. When the Ăźber-likeable superstar brought his Crushinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; It Tour to the Tacoma Dome, his stage setup included included a working bar where various contest winners slurped beer, danced and shot iPhone footage of the man in action; and, at one point, the singer invited a half-pint fan named Rider onstage to challenge opening act, Eric Paslay, to a giant-sized game of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Super Mario Kart.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happens when a bunch of hillbillies get a 60-foot video screen is we hook up Nintendo to it,â&#x20AC;? Paisley joked. The little crushed the competition and his parting gift was a guitar, the second that Paisley doled out that night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learn to play it. See you in 10 years,â&#x20AC;? he told another lucky kid that he gifted after singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Country Music.â&#x20AC;? Paisley sustained an upbeat party vibe throughout most of his set, which included a whopping 25 songs (26 if you count his bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jam during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mario Kartâ&#x20AC;? segment.) He set the tone with summer-themed openers â&#x20AC;&#x153;River Bankâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water,â&#x20AC;? and mostly stayed on the more anthem-heavy end of his catalog, though he did slow it down here and there. Notably, there was his nostalgic performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waitinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on a Woman,â&#x20AC;? complete with the video featuring the late Andy Griffith giving him advice. Humor was, as usual, a big part of his performance. Among the funnier moments were a cameo by a big-headed Paisley mascot who danced around the stage during â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrity.â&#x20AC;? He also starred in an updated version of that songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video, stripping down to his plushy skin to lampoon Miley Cyrusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wrecking Ballâ&#x20AC;? and Kim Kardashian's most infamous photo shoot. Later, Paisley marched to a smaller second stage for the acoustic set, during which he pretended to have forgotten something

Fans cheered as Carrie Underwood appeared to deliver her verses, comically fighting off overzealous makeup artists as she sang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is she gone? Good,â&#x20AC;? Paisley joked afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so stuck up, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be here in person.â&#x20AC;? Even Paisley's pandering seemed more on point than most. He dropped coffee and local football references into his banter whenever he could, seemingly shocked when the deafening call-andresponse of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeeeeaaa!! Hawks!!â&#x20AC;? went up around the room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football season is not for a few more months, so settle down,â&#x20AC;? Paisley quipped. Later, University of Washington cheerleaders and the Huskies mascot showed up to do some backup dancing for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Country Nationâ&#x20AC;? in front of game footage and mascots tackling each other, heavy emphasis on U-Dub. It was his only minor gaffe in kissing up to the locals, and there were a few stray boos, presumably from fans of that Pac-12 team on the other side of the state.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Creativity comes out to play in your life as you brainstorm new ways of doing things. People appreciate your ability to get to the heart of the matter. You dive right in and ask questions later. Loyalties are renewed with people that have stood by you over the years and you find a new appreciation for them. TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) The only thing that will tame your beast this week is approval from your family. You work hard and build confidence in your aptitude and expect your family to take notice. You thrive on their praise, but are left feeling self-conscious and deflated if your efforts go unnoticed. Clarify what you need from them. GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Communications take on a flamboyant overtone as you have passionate topics you’d like to discuss and a flair for how you’ll converse about them. You really focus on putting yourself out there for the causes you believe in and in turn people respond to you with kinship and trust. CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) You may be thinking of renovating your home or decorating it with flashy, beautiful things. An aesthetically pleasing abode creates harmony within, especially if you’re prone to being at home frequently. Try not to break the bank in your desire to beautify your home. LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) It’s all nice and good when you are getting the attention you deserve for your efforts and grand gestures. But when people don’t notice the amount of effort and loyalty you put into something they might experience your infamous temper. Try not to let others’ opinions of you determine your self-worth. VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) As self-confident as you appear to be, deep down there is a great need for acceptance and praise. You’ll realize just how much others’ opinions affect your overall well-being, almost to the point of feeling trapped by them. Let yourself acknowledge this and move toward a healthier mindset.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Even though you may have noticed your life leaving little room in the social department for connecting with friends, they are always on your mind. You have a great love for those that have stood by your side. Make your best attempt to clear your schedule and reconnect. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) When you throw yourself into a project, the thing that keeps you going is your loyalty to the person you’re working for. If that person doesn’t notice just how hard you’ve been working at the expense of your health and overall well-being, tempers may flare up. Try to keep it civil. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) There is nothing more that you’d like to do than to pick up and leave for a place where you can clear your mind and remind yourself of the quality of new scenery. If this is possible, choose a friend to go along with you. If this isn’t in the cards, try to get lost in your own city.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) You may be running a lot of errands, taking care of a lot of household chores, and generally keeping your house in order. You do it all out of love for yourself and family, but if you find it isn’t appreciated you may get a little cranky. Try not to explode and instead open up a dialogue.

We’ve hidden 12 Tacoma Weekly-themed words in this word search. How many can you find? Not sure what you’re looking for? Head over to B5 for the complete word list.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) An upsurge of fiery passion for life and love may surprise you. Normally even-keeled, sometimes life nudges us to remember just how strongly we feel. Let the emotional reins go a little bit and you will see just how much control you really have by allowing yourself to be free. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Love and relationships become the focus for you and there’s a great swelling of pride for your partner. If not in a relationship, you may find yourself doting on someone new. Realize the luck involved in finding someone that embroils your passions and makes you feel alive.

MEET WINTER! When Winter first entered the shelter environment, he was under social, and going to require a special set of adopters. With time, Winter has warmed into an affectionate gentlecat once he overcomes initial shyness. When reaching to slowly and confidently handle the Lynx Point, we’ve found that Winter is a drool machine, content to completely give himself over when cheek rubs are involved. While Winter will still require a unique home in that no dogs, cats, or children can be among the inhabitants, we believe that special family is out there and will just eat up our blueeyed beauty. #A503645
