port set to ponder lease extension during methanol ‘pause’

PHOTO COURTESY OF PORT OF TACOMA

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

ort of Tacoma Commissioners are pondering the terms of a lease extension with Northwest Innovation Works after the Chinese-backed company called for a “pause” on the environmental review for its planned methanol plant set for the Tacoma tideflats. The company entered into a lease for the former Kaiser Aluminum plant site owned by the Port of Tacoma back

in 2014, with plans to build what would be the world’s largest natural gas-tomethanol plant. The 30-year lease called for $24,000 a month during the first six months of the lease, then $16,000 a month after that. The lease then dropped to $8,000 a month for the 125 acres so the company could conduct feasibility studies for the first two years. That “feasibility period” expires at the end of April, meaning the original lease calls for a jump in lease payments to $270,000 a month. Extensions can be as short as 30 days or as long as two years.

“There is a lot of information that we need to get to the public,” NWIW President Murray “Vee” Godley said, noting that the rapidly changing technology used in the conversion process could require less water and power and lower pollution levels, but those methods have to be researched and vetted. “We think Tacoma is the right location for this facility.” NWIW then called for a pause in the environmental review of the proposal, as mounting criticism and protests against the project grew faster and more vocal

MEEKER STUDENT TAKES STAND AGAINST METHANOL PLANT By Eilish McLean Special to Tacoma Weekly

With the continuing debate on the fate of the proposed methanol plant to be built at the Port of Tacoma, it seems everyone has their opinion to contribute. But there’s one voice that stands out from the crowd. Maxx Stewart is an 8th-grader at Meeker Middle School in Northeast Tacoma who recently decided to focus an open ended writing assignment on the proposed plant. As Nancy Webster, his Language Arts teacher, explained, “Maxx went above and beyond.” Read Maxx’s full essay on pg. A4. Maxx decided to write his persuasive essay on the methanol plant because, as he put it, “This, the methanol plant, methanol refinery, is new and it’s current and it’s local too.” And persuade he did. The essay, which received full marks from the statestandards based rubric, details exactly why he opposes the plant, and why others should too. While his research covered several points, from the politics that led to the proposal to the potential impact of the plant’s projected water usage in our drought prone climate, he knew his position on the matter as soon as he heard about it. “Right from the beginning I knew I was opposing it,” said Maxx. “I mean, the world’s biggest methanol plant, here, in Tacoma?” For the purposes of research, Maxx attended several of the town meetings on the topic, taking copious notes and record-

Puyallup Culture Director Connie McCloud stood to welcome Hillary Clinton and spoke of the promise the day held. “Today we give thanks that you would take the time to come and hear what our leaders from all across the state are thinking and feeling,” McCloud said. “We are moving forward. This is a time of change. This is the spring equinox. This is the time of new beginning.” “I’m very grateful for this warm

When they leased The Goldfish Tavern in August of 2014, Adam Dopps and Corey Webb thought they’d need three months to get the place open and running again. “Looking back, boy, it’s ridiculous how naïve we were,” Dopps said this week. It’s been 19 months now, and the remodeled ‘Fish remains dark. Dopps and Webb now own the bar, which has nearly bankrupted both of them – and once almost killed Dopps. Now, when the pair believed they were three weeks from a grand reopening – under the name, The Defiant Goldfish – financial disaster looms again. “We learned last week that we were responsible for maintaining the sidewalks, not the city,” Dopps said. “and things we

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton visited Western Washington on Tuesday, March 22, and among the stops on her itinerary was to take part in a roundtable discussion with 19 tribal leaders from around the state. Senator Maria Cantwell was also in attendance. Gathering on the Puyallup Tribe of

Indians’ reservation at Chief Leschi Schools, Clinton received a traditional welcome. Her stop at Chief Leschi was part of a full day of campaigning that included her daughter Chelsea’s events in Tacoma. Puyallup Tribal member David Duenas drummed and sang as Clinton entered the school library where the meeting was being held, and youth from Chief Leschi sang a Celebration Song in her honor.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

RESIDENTS INVITED TO DISPOSABLE SHOPPING BAG FORUM The City of Tacoma’s Office of Environmental Policy and Sustainability will host a Disposable Shopping Bags Public Forum on Tuesday, March 29, from 6-7:45 p.m. at the Tacoma Public Library, Main Branch in the Olympic Room (1102 Tacoma Ave. S). Members of the public and business community are invited to attend the forum to discuss restricting the use of disposable plastic bags in Tacoma. Attendees will be able to comment on the proposed draft ordinance language and implementation plans. This event comes in response to City staff ’s presentation to the City Council’s Infrastructure, Planning and Sustainability Committee on Feb. 24. The committee asked staff to draft an ordinance following the “Bellingham Model.” This model has been adopted in various forms by 12 of 14 Washington jurisdictions that have adopted disposable bag restrictions. Tacoma’s proposed ordinance bans disposable plastic shopping bags and charges a fee for carryout bags. The committee asked staff to continue getting public feedback to shape any potential shopping bag restrictions. Comments may also be submitted to sustainability@cityoftacoma.org, until Friday, April 8. For information about upcoming meetings and events, disposable shopping bags and related resources, visit cityoftacoma.org/ShoppingBags or call (253) 502-2273. PARK DISTRICT DIRECTOR TO RETIRE THIS YEAR After 16 years leading Metro Parks Tacoma, Executive Director Jack C. Wilson has announced his intention to retire by September. “I have decided, after 43 years in the parks and recreation profession, to graduate to the next phase of my life,” Wilson wrote in a memo to the Board of Park Commissioners on March 28. Wilson came to Metro Parks in 1999 from Cincinnati, Ohio, to lead the independent park district. He is responsible for Metro Parks’ senior administration and management of its 270 career employees and 750 seasonal or part-time employees. “Jack has had an extraordinary impact on the quality of life in Tacoma,” said Park Board President Erik Hanberg. “Thanks to his visionary leadership and community engagement, our parks and recreation programs are recognized as a model for park systems around the country. I wish him all the best in his retirement, and will always be thankful for his commitment to make Tacoma better.” Wilson led a team of park and recreation professionals that transformed Tacoma’s park system. An early accomplishment was developing a partnership to renovate and transform Stewart Heights Pool. A year after his arrival, voters approved a sales tax that helped secure sustainable revenue to support the maintenance and operations of the district’s accredited Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and Northwest Trek Wildlife Park. He then guided staff through a collaborative community process to develop the District’s first long-range strategic plan. This helped residents understand the need to ensure appropriate funding to care for the park system they envisioned. Wilson stated, “I’ve been both humbled and inspired to work in a community that had the foresight to establish a special park district which ensured that high quality parks and open space would be here for their children and generations to come.”

North 7 St. at North J St. 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.

PSA PROMOTES SMOKE-FREE HOUSING Moviegoers at theaters throughout Pierce County can catch an important Public Service Announcement (PSA) titled “Why smoke-free housing is important?” TacomaPierce County Health Department’s Smoke-Free Housing Task Force produced the PSA to reach residents and property owners. “The state fire marshal reports smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths in Washington,” said George Hermosillo, Smoke-Free Housing coordinator. “We want people living in apartments and condos and property owners in Pierce County to know just how powerful a change going smoke-free can be,” Hermosillo said. The 30-second PSA is running at America Movie Network-AMC, Cinemark and Regal Movie Theaters throughout Pierce County. It highlights the benefits of smoking-free housing for property owners and residents. For residents, smoke-free housing means cleaner air. Second-hand smoke is a toxic contaminant and is the leading cause of asthma attacks according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Second-hand smoke, according to the CDC, is also known to cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The National Center for Healthy Housing reports property owners can see a two-to-seven times reduction in clean-up costs for smoke-free units. In Washington, about 75% of residents say they want to live in a smokefree environment, according to the State Department of Health. Residents can search for smoke-free properties in their area and property owners can learn more about the program at tpchd.org/smokefreehousing. Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department is committed to reducing tobacco use at home and beyond. Worldwide, tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death. Learn more about tobacco prevention programs and watch the PSA at tpchd.org/health-wellness-1/ tobacco-prevention-control. DANCE THEATRE NORTHWEST PRESENTS NEW WORKS Twice a year the dancers at Dance Theatre Northwest arrive at Narrows Glen with a full complement of dancers, costumes, theatrical lighting, dance floor, sound system, and a full technical crew to put on an hour long performance of classical ballet, American contemporary,

and musical theatre style dance. The residents fill the room eagerly waiting to see what the performers will be offering this time. The winter performance is always about the holidays and “The Nutcracker,” but the spring performance, like spring itself, brings the promise of something new. Many of the spring season new works are first performed at Narrows Glen, then at other venues throughout the year. For many residents, having DTNW come to their home provides them the opportunity to see professional quality dance at no cost, without having to leave the facility, and in a theatre-like atmosphere filled with local community members. For DTNW members, enhancing the quality of life for residents through their arts program is not only rewarding but a high priority on their list of free performances. At the past Holiday Special concert, two gentlemen were overheard talking as they left the room; the first gentleman said to the other, “What did you think of the performance tonight?” The other answered, “It was wonderful. It is always the highlight of my days when I can watch ballet like this. I used to see it at the theatre when I was younger.” Another resident was talking to her friend and said, “It reminds me of when I was a young dancer and could go en pointe. I love it when they come to perform.” And so the connection is between the dancers and the audience, between the past and the present. On April 2, Dance Theatre Northwest will present several new works and excerpts of works in progress including Broadway style pieces, “Another Opening” and “On Broadway.” New ballet previews include “Caprice,” and “Moments.” Choreographer and DTNW’s Artistic Director Melanie Kirk-Stauffer will provide an ongoing lecture that includes her inspiration for the newly created repertoire and some behind the scenes and memorable insights into the company’s newest works. Featured performers include Lauren Trodahl, Oceana Thunder, Solana Sartain, Amelia Arial, Madeline Ewer, Olivia Stephen-Jordan, Philandra Eargle, Gregory Peloquin and Neil Alexander. Spring performance and activity schedule:

• Narrows Glen Spring Concert – April 2, 2016 at 7 p.m., free and open to public

• Flapjack Fundraiser – May 7, 8-10 a.m., $10/ticket, University Place Applebee’s

CHI FRANCISCAN DEPLOYS CUTTING-EDGE DISINFECTION TECHNOLOGY St. Joseph Medical Center, a part of CHI Franciscan Health, is the first hospital in the Pacific Northwest to use a new ultraviolet disinfection system, called Total Room Ultraviolet Disinfection or Tru-D SmartUVC. The system complements the hospital’s current infection prevention program and further reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections. Tru-D is a mobile, automated system that generates UV light energy that destroys the DNA structure of microorganisms so they die or cannot reproduce. If the cell cannot reproduce, the cell cannot colonize and dies. These new units will be used in intensive care units, the emergency department and in patient rooms. Tru-D eliminates bacteria such as Clostridium difficile (C. Diff); influenza; norovirus, and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). “We’re excited to introduce this ultraviolet disinfection technology to our cleaning and infection prevention program,” says Olympia Tachopoulou, MD, medical director for infection prevention at CHI Franciscan. “This technology is an important added line of defense against hospitalacquired infections and will help us protect the integrity of the hospital environment and enhance patient outcomes.” CHI Franciscan Health joins a growing number of leading health care systems that are using the Tru-D SmartUVC technology including Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health. PROSPERITY LOGIC TO BRING FILM ‘PROJECT 22’ TO TACOMA Prosperity Logic will be hosting a one-time screening of “Project 22” at The Grand Cinema on Wednesday, March 30, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. Following the showing, there will be a brief discussion about Veteran suicide awareness and resources. After tragedy struck home last year, two combatwounded veterans set out to end a little-known epidemic in America. Their 6,500-mile cross-country mission was to raise awareness of the high rate of suicide amongst Veterans and show their brothers and sisters-at-arms that there is hope for them. During their journey, they interviewed researchers, healthcare providers, and Veterans. Many of those they encountered had either contemplated or attempted suicide and were able to share the life-saving alternative sources of hope that they had found. Asking hard-hitting questions and opening up about their own struggles, and painfully spurred on by recent estimations that 22 veterans are taking their own lives every single day, Daniel and Doc will stop at nothing to reach tomorrow’s 22. “Project 22” included interviews with veterans who have found help and support for the problems they faced after coming home through various therapies and programs. Some which they found effective in easing their pain are shown in the film and include: hyperbaric oxygen therapy, equine therapy, military therapy dogs, meditation, veterans sailing groups, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and more. “As a service disabled veteran and motorcycle enthusiast, both subjects are near and dear to my heart and I thought ‘Project 22’ is something that should be shared with the Tacoma community,” said, Mel West, president and CEO, Prosperity Logic. “The men and women who have served this country should not be forgotten or feel like their lives don’t matter. Very much like POW/MIA’s, it’s our responsibility to ensure our Veterans are taken care of when they come back from war and are not forgotten. PTSD is often misunderstood and carries a stigma in our community. This film is a vehicle to bring our community of veterans and non-veterans together to educate about the serious effects of PTSD, the resources available, and slowly put an end to the 22 veteran suicides each day.” The film is being screened through Tugg.com, a platform that helps individuals and organizations to host screenings in their local theaters. Tickets can be purchased at www.tugg.com/events/92052.

ConviCted rAPiSt believed hiding in tAComA By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

A convicted rapist wanted in King County is believed to be hiding in the Tacoma area. He is 37-year-old Jacob Clifford Butts, also known as “Jake Butts” and “Jeremy Gary Evans” and is a Level 3 DAVID ROSE sex offender. Level 3 means he has a high likelihood of re-offending. A warrant has now been issued for his arrest after he didn't show up in court where he’s been charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. He also has a Department of Corrections warrant. Butts was convicted when he was 24 years old for sexually assaulting a 15-yearold girl at knife point that he met at a bus stop. Court documents show he took her to a secluded area and told her to “do it right” or she would “end up in a ditch.” He

was caught after he stole her cell phone and used it to call his grandmother. When questioned about the assault, he told detectives he was high on meth at the time. Butts was released from prison in 2009. Since then, he has been convicted of illegal drug possession in 2012 and 2014 as well as having weapons. “We received a tip that he was hiding out in a house in Tacoma. Detectives went to the scene, but unfortunately he fled out the back. He knows he's wanted. He's actually been emailing detectives to let them know he knows he's wanted. He needs to turn himself in or somebody needs to tell us where he's at,” said King County Sgt. Cindi West. Butts is 5’08” 190 lbs. He has a tattoo on his right wrist of tribal art and you can see the ink on his neck. If you spot him, call Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-TIPS (8477). All calls are anonymous and there is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for infor-

JURY CONVICTS TEENS IN DEADLY LAKEWOOD HOMEINVASION ROBBERY A jury convicted Qiuordai Lewis Taylor, 18, and Duprea Romon Wilson, who is now 20, on March 16 of manslaughter, assault, robbery, kidnapping and burglary for a 2014 home-invasion robbery where an accomplice was shot by a Lakewood homeowner and later died. Sentencing is scheduled for March 25,at 1:30 p.m. in room 822 of the County-City Building in Tacoma. “The homeowner lawfully killed one of the robbers in self-defense,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “Deputy Prosecutors James Curtis and Neil Horibe ably convicted the other two robbers.” On Nov. 18, 2014 at 9:30 p.m., the robbers knocked on the victims' door. When the husband answered, the robbers forced their way in. They tied up the couple and ransacked the house. At some point, the robbers went outside and the husband was able to free himself. He locked the front door and untied his wife. The couple retreated to their bedroom and the husband retrieved his handgun from his lockbox. As the robbers were forcing their way back into the home, they fired a gunshot. Once back inside, they went into the bedroom. The husband fired at them, striking Taijon Vorhees twice – once in the abdomen and once in the leg. The robbers fled. Taylor and Wilson rode around with Vorhees in their car for a considerable amount of time, and did not seek medical care for him. Police later found Vorhees’ body in the parking lot of a Federal Way apartment complex. The morning after the robbery, Wilson was arrested on an unrelated charge and booked into the King County Jail. While searching him, officers found the victim’s wedding ring.

mation leading to his arrest. This is one of the cases featured this weekend on Washington’s Most Wanted Friday night at 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX and Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. on JOEtv and 10:30 p.m. on Q13 FOX.

NEW CHARGES IN 2015 MURDER OF TACOMA TEEN Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist has charged Juan Javier Zuniga-Gonzales, 17, and Trino Valentino Martinez, 21, with murder in the first degree and two counts of attempted murder in the first degree for the November 2015 shooting death of 18-year-old Elijah Jheryl Crawford on Tacoma’s eastside. A third co-defendant, Alberto Colt-Sarmiento, 23, was previously charged in the murder. All pleaded not guilty and are being held in lieu of $1 million bail. “This is a senseless shooting over nothing of any significance,” said Lindquist. On Nov. 2, 2015, Tacoma Police responded to a shooting on the eastside of the city. Upon arriving, they found Crawford with a gunshot wound to the chest. He died at the scene. Officers found another teen nearby with gunshot wounds to the shoulder and face. He was transported to the hospital and treated. A third teen, Eddie Contreras, was uninjured and spoke with officers. Contreras said he and his friends were meeting up with Colt-Sarmiento so they could fist fight. When Contreras and his friends pulled into the arranged meeting location, they got out of the car and walked toward

Colt-Sarmiento. A man wearing a hood with a blue bandana on his face walked out of the bushes and fired his gun at the teens. Officers located two clusters of .40 caliber shell casings – one near the bushes and the other near where Colt-Sarmiento had been standing. Contreras told detectives that he and Colt-Sarmiento had arranged the meeting while conversing on Facebook. Contreras and Colt-Sarmiento had recently been in a fist fight and Colt-Sarmiento wanted to fight again. Contreras said he agreed to fight as long as weapons were not involved. While searching Colt-Sarmiento’s phone, detectives discovered text messages between him, Zuniga-Gonzales and Martinez. The text messages exchanged between Colt-Sarmiento and Martinez the day before the murder include, “KILLKILLKILL” and “well smoke em.” When interviewed by detectives, Martinez admitted to being in the vehicle at the time of the shooting and he said Zuniga-Gonzales was the shooter. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

THREE TEENS CHARGED IN RAPE OF LAKEBAY GIRL Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist has charged three juvenile males, ages 13, 14 and 17, with rape in the second degree and assault in the second degree for a sexual attack on a 15-year-old girl during a party at her home in Lakebay. The two younger boys pleaded not guilty in Juvenile Court, and a hearing has been set to determine if the 17-year-old will be tried as an adult. All are being held in detention. “Our community is shocked,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “The investigation is ongoing and there will be full accountability.” On March 13, the victim, her sister and several boys were hanging out in a shed at the victim’s residence. The victim consumed a significant amount of alcohol and passed out in the shed. While she was unconscious, the teen boys tore off her sweatpants and raped her with a marijuana pipe, an alcohol bottle and a lighter. They also tied her ankles with a hair straightener cord and drug her around the shed. The victim’s 14-year-old sister was in the shed during the attack and tried to protect her. In the morning, the victim’s mother found her passed out in the shed, bloodied and wearing only a t-shirt. She was transported to the hospital and treated for her injuries. Multiple witnesses told police they received photos and partial videos of the attack via SnapChat, an app that deletes content once it is viewed by the recipient. Detectives are continuing their investigation into this incident. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

ing arguments from both sides. Beyond getting him some of the information he used in his paper, it got him thinking about the role of everyday people in local government. He plans on using his position as ASB president at Meeker to get more involved in community issues. In regard to the proposed plant, he said, “I think it’s something that people should vote on instead of just passing because it means more money. There are health and safety issues, too.” And, as his essay explains, those concerns are numerous. Methanol itself is toxic, and the Port of Tacoma is located on a fault line. The explosion generated by an earthquake could be catastrophic. Maxx also suggests that, since many of the jobs created by the plant are temporary, their benefit is not worth the risks associated with the plant. He warns against returning the city to its “polluted past,” a poignant note for those who remember the “Aroma of Tacoma.” “I think the most important thing that people need to know is that this is not okay. The most important thing is stopping it now and not letting it get any further. Like I said in my essay, it could be detrimental to all the citizens,” he said. To do so, he suggests going to town meetings, writing to town officials and raising awareness, all of which he’s already done himself. Not bad for a fourteen year old. Maxx has been involved in school papers and other writing pursuits since early elementary school, and that experience, in conjunction with his current photography class, has led to him wanting to become a photojournalist. And while a picture might be worth a thousand words, Maxx’s essay is certainly worth perusing. You might even learn a thing or two.

Methanol Madness

By Maxx Stewart

A foreign, Chinese company is planning to construct the world's largest methanol plant, right here in our Port of Tacoma! The refinery will be using Washington’s natural resources and water to create methanol. The company will do this by extracting our natural gases from the ground and then converting them to methanol by using the proposed plant. Methanol is a colorless, highly flammable, toxic gas. Once created, the methanol will then be shipped back to China to create plastic objects. The plastics will then be sold right back to us; some of this plastic also will end up in our oceans, polluting the water and marine life. Not only will the outrageous plant pollute the waters around us, but it will also guzzle 10.4 million gallons of our treated water every single day! The refinery may also release thousands of tons of greenhouse gases per year. Methanol is the simplest type of alcohol and, at room temperature, methanol is a highly flammable liquid. The gas can be inhaled into the body, consumed, and absorbed through the skin. This can cause blindness, a coma, extreme sickness including cancers, deafness, and death. Methanol is also highly explosive and can be found to leak when in its gaseous form. Now, right here in the Port of Tacoma, the largest methanol refinery in the world is planned to be built. This is not okay, and this should not be happening. That’s why the proposed methanol plant in the Port of Tacoma should not be constructed. Likewise, the methanol refinery will consume an extremely large amount of water. Every minute, the methanol refinery will drain 7,200 gallons of Tacoma’s fresh water. Those numbers relate to 3.8 billion gallons of water being devoured per year. This amount is equal to more than all the water being used by residents in the city of Tacoma. Related to the current drought, this is very alarming. Only last year, Tacoma asked residents to limit their water usage by 10 percent. Of all the water being used in the refinery, 90 percent of the water will be used for cooling, and 81 percent of that water will be released back into our atmosphere as vapor. In reference to an article from methanol. org, “Methanol is explosive as a vapor and burns with a flame that is near invisible in daylight.” The immense water usage by the plant can create a negative impact on not only people, but the environment as well. According to a Notice of Public Scoping Meeting by Peter Huffman, the refinery is set to deplete one-fourth of the Green River’s water supply. This is drastic for the salmon species in the river. Incidentally, if the salmon populations begin to decrease, this means that the seal and eagle populations will also decrease. Before you know it, the whole ecosystem in Tacoma will become a disaster. Tacoma is known for its eagles and seals. Therefore, if you

remove key parts of our environment, you also remove key parts of our city. Clearly, the methanol refinery’s water usage is crucial against Tacoma’s ecosystem, and that’s why the refinery must be put to a stop. In reference to a recent survey of Browns’ Point students, 90 percent believe that the plant should not be constructed due to its enormous water usage. The plant poses a huge environmental threat, and these reasons should be enough alone for the Tacoma City Council members to say no to the plant. Furthermore, a man at a recent Tacoma council meeting named John Carlton brought up a remarkable point regarding China’s liability on the plant. The Chinese company is a limited liability corporation, which is quite important if a common calamity occurs at the plant. For example, if a likely disaster does indeed strike the methanol plant, guess who will be paying for it? Not the Chinese company. Us. Tacoma will have to spend the city’s money to clean up the disaster the plant will have created, meanwhile, pollution and toxic methanol will be roaming throughout the homes and businesses of Tacoma. Once again, our citizens will revisit Tacoma’s polluted past. Not to mention the prices of every home and business around the area of the plant, including Browns’ Point homes, will drop in value. The majority of advantages of this plant will benefit China, not Tacoma, therefore it should not be constructed. On the other hand, the confused people who believe that the methanol refinery should be built may argue the fact that the plant will create jobs for construction workers in Tacoma. Yes, it will create a number of construction jobs, however, of the 1,000 jobs being employed, only 26 percent are permanent! Thus, once the plant is fully constructed, 740 citizens of Tacoma will once again be left unemployed. So what’s the true, long-term benefit? Jobs in Tacoma are very important, and that’s why the proposed methanol plant must not be built. If the refinery is put into action, Tacoma will once again be looked upon as the dirty, unclean, and unhealthy city it once was. The methanol plant will cause potential employers for Tacoma to look in other places besides Tacoma when seeking employees. Not only that, but according to an article from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the long term net effect on Tacoma’s local economy outweighs the number of small jobs promised to the construction workers. In addition, in reference to an article from bls. gov, the “Jobs are not sustainable and reliable when depending on resource extraction.” These factors all conclude that the number of new jobs have a very small benefit, if any, to not only Tacoma, but the citizens as well. In addition, this foolish methanol plant is planned to be constructed on a fault line in the ground. In reference to exploratorium.edu, “The majority of earthquakes occur on fault lines and can easily cause destruction to buildings.” This means that if an earthquake does indeed

strike the fault line, equipment in the methanol plant can become damaged and methanol can easily be released into the air. As previously mentioned, methanol is highly toxic to the human body and highly flammable. Therefore, the effect on the citizens would be extremely unhealthy and cause hundreds of families to have to evacuate their homes. It doesn’t just take an earthquake to release the plant’s methanol into our air; the plant is an easy target for terrorists. The proposed methanol plant will be the largest in the world and is extremely dangerous due to the risk of explosion or terrorism. The methanol refinery is planned to be constructed in a very densely populated area, thus if a jetliner was to crash into it, the effect would be detrimental to the citizens of Tacoma. Many schools, including Meeker, Browns’ Point, Seabury, NE Tacoma Elementary, preschools, Stadium, Tacoma School of the Arts, University of Washington-Tacoma and many Fife schools will all be within the blast zone if the methanol refinery explodes. This is an outrageous plan and needs to be put to end immediately. The plan will force many homeowners of Tacoma to move and find new homes away from the port and away from the plant. Methanol is not what we need for Tacoma, and this should not be happening. Tacoma has worked hard by creating museums and galleries and cleaning up the port to create a great city. Now, the proposed methanol plant will stop us in our tracks, and drag Tacoma back to it’s polluted past. Is this really how Tacoma wants to create jobs? Will this turn Tacoma into a greater and safer city to live in? Will the planned methanol refinery keep Tacoma’s children safe? Once again, this foolish plan, will create a foolish outcome, and turn Tacoma into a foolish city. To conclude, the proposed methanol plant in Tacoma by all means should not be constructed. Tacoma has come too far as a city to turn around now, and go back to a past of pollution and dangerousness. The proposed methanol plant will pose a threat to thousands of citizens, only for the employment of just 260 permanent jobs. From the large amounts of water being consumed, to the threat it poses as a target for terrorists, the planned methanol refinery poses to much of a threat to Tacoma’s citizens to be built. This refinery is not okay, and should not be put into action. The risk the plant poses, being built on a fault line, polluting our environment, and consuming half of Tacoma’s treated water, is not worth the small number of permanent jobs. At this moment, hundreds of Tacoma’s citizens are protesting the proposed plant by speaking at Tacoma Council Meetings and conventions regarding the refinery. Make it your job by simply finding the time to attend a meeting, and wearing red to support the opposition of the plant. You may even find the confidence to speak yourself! All in all, the proposed methanol plant will be a disaster to Tacoma’s environment, its citizens, and the city of Tacoma as a whole.

Family, Tribe march For answers in woman’s deaTh

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Upward of 500 people marched two miles from Puyallup tribal land to the U.S. District Courthouse in downtown Tacoma on March 16 to raise awareness of their concerns about the death of Jacqueline D. Salyers, a 33-year-old Puyallup Tribal member and mother. Salyers was shot to death by Tacoma Police on Jan. 28 during an incident that has more questions than answers for her family. The police version of the Jan. 28 incident has it that Tacoma Police Officer Scott Campbell shot Salyers shortly before midnight, while she was driving toward Campbell and his partner, Aaron Joseph. They had approached the truck Salyers was driving because a robbery suspect was in the passenger’s seat. The 32-year-old robbery suspect, Kenneth Wright Jr., fled the car with a rifle and escaped the scene along the 3300 block of South Sawyer Street and was arrested three weeks later. The officers reportedly tried to save Salyers and called for medical assistance, but Salyers, a mother of four, died at the scene. Neither officer was injured. They were placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure following an officer-related shooting. The officers have since returned to duty. The incident is still under investigation, although initial indications suggest the officers shot because they felt their lives were threatened by the approaching car. The family was simply informed that Salyers was dead following the shooting and was given little information other than that. Her mother wasn’t even told that her daughter was pregnant at the time. That news only came out when Salyers’ mother, Lisa Earl, visited the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office to get some paperwork. “It was a line item on the death certificate,” she said. “I didn’t even know my daughter was pregnant when I buried her.” Lisa Earl is now taking care of her grandchildren while she grieves the loss of their mother and their unborn sibling. “They won’t have the love and the kisses goodnight that only a mother can give,” she said. “I’ll do my best, but I’m not their mother.” The lack of information from Tacoma investigators and even the official storyline of the incident clashes with what witnesses told Lisa Earl had happened, leading her to seek answers. But she hasn’t gotten them. That frustration solidified around the “Justice for Jackie” campaign on social media and the subsequent march, which called for an independent investigation of her death. “We want justice,” Puyallup Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud said. “We want answers.” March supporters hope that the U.S. Department of Justice will investigate the case since Salyers was a member of the Puyallup Tribe, making questions surrounding her death a federal matter between sovereign nations. “We’re coming together to find answers,” said Salyers’ relative Chester Earl, a member of the Puyallup Tribe. “We want peace. We want answers. We are doing this with a good heart.” Puyallup Tribal Police escorted the march, while Washington State Patrol troopers blocked car traffic from entering the main intersections as marchers passed. Marked Tacoma Police Department patrol cars closed off cross streets along the route. Members of the Puyallup Nation Rez Riderz motorcycle club rode ahead of and behind the marchers to block intersections during the four-hour protest as well. “Justice for Jackie” organizers continue to meet weekly and say they plan to keep pushing for action from authorities.

Our View

PlAStic bAg bAn deServeS the Publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Attention The issue of discarded plastic bags littering city streets and hanging in trees is one that has been pondered and debated between city staffers and City Council committees for a while. And it is now something that could actually see some movement toward a solution. The City of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Environmental Policy and Sustainability will host a forum on the issue of disposable shopping bags on Tuesday, March 29, from 6-7:45 p.m. at the Tacoma Public Library, Main Branch in the Olympic Room, 1102 Tacoma Ave. S. to see what sort of support or criticism residents have about the concept. Members of the public and business community are invited to attend the forum to discuss the idea of the city adopting rules that would restrict the use of disposable plastic bags in Tacoma. Attendees will be able to comment on the proposed rules and the implementation plans that would make plastic bags largely banned in the city. Known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bellingham Model,â&#x20AC;? after the city that first enacted it, the draft plan for Tacoma has already been adopted by a dozen of the cities and counties that put limits on disposable plastic bags. Two other cities adopted other restrictions. Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed ordinance bans disposable plastic shopping bags and charges a fee for carryout bags at restaurants. The forum is the latest move toward a plastic bag restriction plan after a study session on the issue unveiled options to the City Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Infrastructure, Planning and Sustainability Committee on Feb. 24. Comments may also be submitted to sustainability@cityoftacoma.org, until Friday, April 8. Realistically, plastic bags make up a very small amount of the overall tonnage of the otherwise recyclable litter around the city, but they are among the most visible. They can be seen ghosting along streets when they are filled with blowing wind after being discarded and dangling from street limbs and bushes when they find their final resting place. There they flap and flutter for weeks until they become shredded and scattered, multiplying the damage to the landscape. But there is some rationale for tighter restrictions outside of the litter plastic bags create. Encouraging the use of reusable bags or recyclable paper bags instead of plastic options brings the idea of sustainability to the forefront for shoppers each time they que at the checkout. Just a second or two of thought about sustainability and waste reduction during the checkout process has the potential of changing behaviors and bring real change. Bag bans deserve your thoughts and your comments. For information about the idea, visit cityoftacoma.org/ShoppingBags.

Guest Editorials

When reAl uniterS Were Among uS By JosĂŠ-Antonio Orosco Fifty years ago this month, a small group of activists left Delano, California and began a march to Sacramento to raise national awareness about the plight of farmworkers. By the time the march made it to the state capitol, its ranks had swelled to over 10,000 people. California politicians and their agri-business supporters realized that they were facing a major civil rights movement in the Central Valley, and that its leader, Cesar Chavez, was someone to contend with. The importance of the Sacramento March today is more than just historical. The march is a lesson about how to use nonviolence to respond to economic hardship in a way that builds a powerful force for justice. In an era like ours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in which the income of the top one percent continues to pull away from the rest of us, inequality is at its highest level in almost a hundred years, and politicians use our fear of losing our jobs, homes, and family security to scapegoat whole groups of people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Sacramento March takes on a new significance. The mood among the farmworkers at the time was not unlike a general feeling among many voters today who feel that the promise of the American dream is slipping away as a result of an unjust collusion of government and economic elites. Chavez viewed the march as a symbolic pilgrimage that would literally occupy the highest seat of political power in the state. The farmworkers were journeying to put politicians on notice that they were

not going to allow the exploitation and oppression they suffered to continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are tired of words, of betrayals, of indifferenceâ&#x20AC;?, Chavez wrote in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Plan of Delano,â&#x20AC;? the manifesto laying out the reasons behind the protest march. But, unlike today, the farmworkers were not banking on some politician to arise to champion their cause and alleviate their desperation with the promise of new government programs. Chavez explained that the farmworkers were radicals; they were their own leaders. And they wanted to dissolve the existing social order and to build a new system in which they had power to have a say in the decisions that directly affected their lives: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not want charity at the price of our dignity. We want to be equal with all the working men in the nation; we want a just wage, better working conditions, a decent future for our children.â&#x20AC;? However, the difference of the farmworker revolution as compared to the great social upheavals in the past, Chavez pointed out, was that it was going to be nonviolent. Instead of seeking solutions through violence, the farmworkers would march and show that they could take their suffering and channel it into righteous anger at the institutions that cheated them and robbed their families of a decent life. Instead of holding onto their pain and turning it into hatred and fear of others, the farmworkers sought to engage in action that created unity among all the different ethnic groups that worked in the fields: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that the poverty of the Mexican

or Filipino worker in California is the same as that of all workers across the country, the Negroes and poor whites, the Puerto Ricans, Japanese and Arabians; in short, all of the races that comprise the oppressed minorities of the United States.â&#x20AC;? They refused to let politicians and bosses use racism to divide them and turn on each other, as had happened in past decades, and as is now happening in this election season, when we are told that the American Dream requires walls and barriers to keep Muslims or Mexicans out. The lesson of Cesar Chavezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sacramento March is that it is possible to build a social movement to respond to economic hard times that does not depend on violent protests, or on savior politicians, or on racist stereotypes that demonize groups of people as the causes of our misfortune. It is an example that it possible for ordinary groups of people to come together, decide that they can be their own leaders, and forge their own alternatives to the power structures that ignore their interests. As Chavez wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the politicians, we say that the years are gone when the farm worker said nothing and did nothing to help himself. From this movement shall spring leaders who shall understand us, lead us, be faithful to us, and we shall elect them to represent us. We shall be heard.â&#x20AC;?

oWen Served â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;our WAShingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well By Don C. Brunell For the last 20 years, Lt. Gov. Brad Owen (D) has served Washington well. Now, he is retiring and leaving the state senate as he found it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a dignified place to debate and enact public policy. Owen, a former convenience store owner in Shelton, will not seek reelection. It will be the first time in 40 years that his name will not be on the November ballot. He was elected to the state house in 1976 and then to the senate in 1983. Owen is currently the longest serving lieutenant governor in the country; however, that is not the record in Washington. Former UW football coach, John Cherberg, served 32 years (1957 to 1989). Other than filling-in for the governor while he or she is out of state for prolonged periods, the lieutenant governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary duty is to preside over the state senate. Owen and his predecessors have not usurped the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority during those absences. Olympia, in contrast to Washington, D.C., has become known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the other Washingtonâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a place where things get done in a respectful way. A big part of the reason is lawmakers must find ways to balance the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget without borrowing. Unlike their federal counterparts, they cannot â&#x20AC;&#x153;borrow to balance.â&#x20AC;? Today, Washington State only faces bond payments on construction projects for colleges, bridges and roads, while

our federal government owes more than $19 trillion for all spending...and it is growing rapidly. That means each taxpayer now is saddled with a $160,000 loan payment to countries like China and Japan. Often, reaching agreement is difficult and arguments can be fiery and intense; however, attacking oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motives is taboo. Lawmakers are admonished by Owen in the senate and by the speaker in the house for personal attacks. For example, in the early 1980s when an exercised house member inappropriately referred to timber company lobbyists as a bunch of â&#x20AC;&#x153;concubinesâ&#x20AC;? during heated floor debate over how much to tax logs, he was immediately admonished by the speaker and ordered to apologize. Similarly, Owens removed a state senator as chair of a human-trafficking task force after lawmakers complained she belittled and abused victims of sex trafficking. Owen earned a reputation for fairness and consistency when ruling whether amendments to bills were germane. Those decisions were not easy and sometimes could be interpreted in different ways. He made other tough decisions as well. For example, Owen banned guns in the Senate gallery a day after dozens of people went to the House gallery with guns protesting the state's recently adopted background check law. During his tenure, Owen expanded the officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role internationally. He led

trade missions across the world to promote tourism, business, agriculture and education. He also was praised for his work to carry the drug and alcohol awareness message to teens around the state. Owenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement has some questioning whether the position is really needed. Five states have no lieutenant governors, including neighboring Oregon. Critics say the Oregon system works and, if Washington adopts that model, the costs of the office could be eliminated. In February 2015, when fourterm Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) resigned, Secretary of State Kate Brown (D) immediately stepped in. While the office can be the stepping stone to the governorship, that has not been the case in Washington in recent years. Only three lieutenant governors went on to become governor. The last was Republican Lowell Fowler Hart in 1919. When Owen cleans out his office early next year, he will pack up lots of memorabilia. However, he leaves behind a tradition in which â&#x20AC;&#x153;our Washingtonâ&#x20AC;? is a place where lawmakers can settle differences with dignity and respect. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.

Stop Tacoma from Becoming the Fuel Depot to the World KEEP TACOMA CLEAN The City of Tacoma has become one of the most livable cities in America. Tacoma has blossomed into a great city, as its downtown has made a comeback and people are living and working here. We all remember the “aroma of Tacoma” and those days should be gone forever. Last year, Pierce County welcomed over 5.9 million people visiting from out of town and created over one billon dollars in impact. People come to this area

because of its beauty, from our pristine waters to our one of kind mountain, “Mount Rainier.” People do not want to come to our region to tour methanol refineries and L & G plants. We, the citizens of Tacoma and Pierce County, need to tell our elected officials to STOP THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT NOW!

STOP METHANOL s Methanol refinery and storage facilities are extremely dangerous. Explo-

sions have occurred regularly at such facilities around the world. s Methanol is flammable in liquid and gas states, and it is highly volatile and

explosive at room temperatures. It is considered highly toxic to humans and animals. s The refinery will convert one of our most precious natural resources – wa-

ter – to produce 7.2 million metric tons of methanol annually. That’s nearly 16 billion pounds of methanol which will be shipped through Puget Sound to China for use as a cheap material for the production of plastics. s Over 300,000 metric tons (or 661 million pounds) of methanol will be

stored in above ground storage tanks at any given time. It is extremely and dangerously explosive. s Methanol storage facilities were part of the enormous August 2015 di-

saster in the Port of Tianjin, China that killed more than 100 people and left hundreds more injured. Those explosions “had a power equivalent to three tons of TNT detonating, while the second was the equivalent of 21 tons” (source: BBC News). It was visible from space.

THE DANGER OF LNG Historic on-site accidents have occurred involving or related to LNG: On Oct. 20, 1944 in Cleveland, 128 people died when an East Ohio Natural Gas Company’s LNG tank ruptured and exploded. LNG spilled into the city’s sewer system, vaporized and turned into gas, which exploded and burned. On Oct. 6, 1979 in Lusby, MD, a pump seal failed at the Cove Point LNG facility, which released natural gas vapors that settled into an electrical conduit. The gas vapors ignited when a worker switched off a circuit breaker, causing an explosion that killed one worker and severely injured another. On Jan. 19, 2004 an explosion at Sonatrach LNG facility in Skikda, Algeria killed 27 people and injured 56. Three LNG trains were also destroyed. The massive hydrocarbon gas explosion was ignited when a steam boiler that was part of an LNG liquefaction train exploded near a propane and ethane refrigeration storage site. A report from a U.S. government inspection team cited that a leak of hydrocarbons from the liquefaction process initiated the domino effect of explosions.

TOO MANY OIL TRAINS In 2013, more oil was spilled in U.S. rail accidents than in the previous four decades combined – more than 1.15 million gallons. In 2014-2015 there were numerous oil-related disasters: s The town of Heimdal, North Dakota, was evacuated in May 2015 when a

train carrying crude oil derailed and 10 cars burst into flames. s In February 2015, a train carrying crude oil through Northern Ontario de-

railed and caused a massive fire. s A train in Mount Carbon, WV derailed in February 2015 and unleashed a

huge fireball, destroying a home and forcing residents to evacuate. The disaster also closed downstream public water supply intakes. s In February 2014, a 120-car train carrying heavy Canadian crude through

Pennsylvania derailed and spilled 4,000 gallons of oil. This accident was the second in less than a month in that state. A train hauling crude jumped the tracks and nearly toppled over a bridge in Philadelphia on Jan. 20. s A derailment in January 2014 in Plaster Rock, New Brunswick caused an

explosive fire and forced residents to evacuate as oil and propane burned.

OIL STORAGE TANKS Oil storage tanks pose a particular threat in that fires cause the release of dangerously toxic plumes of acrid, black smoke that can travel for miles. On Dec. 11, 2005 the “Buncefield Fire” was a major incident caused by a series of explosions at the Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal in Hertfordshire, England – the fifth largest oil-producing storage depot in the United Kingdom. Twenty large storage tanks exploded and hundreds of homes were evacuated and other residents were told to stay inside to avoid the toxic smoke from the blast. Schools closed, transportation and business were disrupted and groundwater pollution persisted. Environmental disasters to soil and water systems pose an equally harsh threat. The “Disaster at Pittsburgh” made headlines nationwide in January 1988 when a giant oil storage tank owned by the Ashland Oil Company split apart and released its entire contents – 3.85 million gallons of diesel fuel of which approximately 800,000 gallons flowed into the Monongahela River. Public water systems were shut down and more than one million people in some 80 communities downstream in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia were affected.

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 of participating 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, 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.

unity. Hillary Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit provided a wonderful opportunity for busy tribal leaders across the state to gather in one room together and unite in their efforts to protect the environment and defend the sacred salmon from ongoing destruction.

welcome and gracious hospitality that you extended to me,â&#x20AC;? Clinton said to the assembled tribal leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to hearing from you. That is the principal reason I am here. I came to listen and learn more from each of you.â&#x20AC;? After asking for a brief moment of silence for the victims of the Brussels terror attack that happened earlier that day, Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud gave his opening remarks. He looked back on Bill Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidency in 1994, and the Chairman told of receiving a call back then asking him to be in the newly elected presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inauguration parade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were the first Natives in an inaugural parade since the late 1800,â&#x20AC;? Sterud said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an honor. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when things began to change.â&#x20AC;? He spoke of how much the Tribe has made many positive advances over the ensuing years, including establishing the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first tribally owned cancer center, the Salish Cancer Center in Fife, and the construction of Chief Leschi Schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This beautiful school happened on his watch,â&#x20AC;? he said, referring to the era of Bill Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidency. Then turning to Hillary Clinton he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2017 when she is elected president, maybe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a call to be in her inaugural parade,â&#x20AC;? and the room

erupted in applause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to say you have an invitation,â&#x20AC;? Clinton responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I am fortunate enough to be inaugurated in January 2017, I will expect a delegation from tribes in that inaugural parade.â&#x20AC;? Sterud touched on several areas of concern that he and the tribal leaders present wanted to address with Clinton in the meeting, including the clean-up of Puget Sound and the restoration of salmon restoration and salmon habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This needs to be made a top priority. Our waters are dying. We need major efforts,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need you and the Washington delegation to put Puget Sound clean-up on par with the Great Lakes restoration and Chesapeake Bay clean-up. We need action now.â&#x20AC;? Clinton said she looked forward to discussing these issues and health and education concerns of Native people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look to being a good partner with you in fulfilling our treaty and our trust and relationships and that is my hope â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that we can work together to provide better opportunities for everyone for our children and now, as a grandmother, for our grandchildren,â&#x20AC;? she said. To show their appreciation, Puyallup Tribal Council members gifted Clinton with the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature Pendleton blanket and gave her a name in Lushootseed that translates into â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong woman.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The name is to bless you and help you in your work,â&#x20AC;? McCloud said. In an interview after the meeting, Chairman Sterud expressed much appreciation

for Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a lot of courage for her to meet with 19 tribal leaders and it was definitely an honor for the Puyallup Tribe to host such a gathering,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She seemed very receptive to many of the ideas.â&#x20AC;? One topic that Chairman Sterud said stood out was treaty protected fishing rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What has taken place with global warming and the indiscriminate industrial uses of our streams, our river, bays, and oceans have become a liability to our fish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the fish are in very, very drastic conditions. This was sounded out by most of the tribal leaders to protect our resources and to start with the fish. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for just the Tribes but for everyone in the state of Washington. Clean water is something every body needs.â&#x20AC;? He pointed to the water crisis in Flint, Mich. as an example of the critical need for protecting the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to do something, and I think Hillary heard us loud and clear.â&#x20AC;? Puyallup Tribal Council Vice Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove praised Cantwell for her role in Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one person that I credit for this happening is our Senator Maria Cantwell. I have so much respect and regard for her. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful person inside and out.â&#x20AC;?

Hargrove said that what she appreciated the most at the roundtable was that every tribal leader present at the meeting got to speak and be heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hillary wanted to hear from all the tribal leaders. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about her, it was about the tribes,â&#x20AC;? Hargrove said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I so respect that about her. To me she is an individual that not only listens but she hears and takes it to heart. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genuine. She was taking copious notes as people were speaking.â&#x20AC;? Hargove said Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position paper on Indian Country shows that Clinton is completely tuned in to tribal people and issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her respect for Indian country is so insurmountable that everything that was shared in that room she had already had in her position paper. We are going to need a president that supports policies, a president that is going to understand the trust responsibility that this government has in protecting our treaty reserved homeland, our treaty protected resources and most of all recognizing our government-to-government level of discussion, and above all honoring our tribal sovereignty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those treaties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I see that in Secretary Clinton.â&#x20AC;?

than NWIW had initially expected. Public hearings on the plan were routinely flooded with protestors speaking against the project for hours on end. Formal opposition to the plant includes concerns from the Puyallup Tribe, Federal Way, Des Moines, Normandy Park and other governments and environmental groups such as the Green River Coalition and Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition. A citizens initiative to call for a vote for all developments that would use more than a million gallons of water a day is currently gaining signatures for a vote this

believed were completed – permitted and inspected – must now be permitted again. That means another eight weeks, and probably another $50,000-$70,000. “As we sit here right now, I have no idea where that money will come from.” Certainly not their mutual bank account – which is $235 overdrawn. Since their original $25,000 loan, Dopps and Webb have squeezed their wives, friends and complete strangers for money. What once was a $25,000 investment is now closer to $200,000, and both men would be bankrupt if their wives weren’t working. The ‘Fish has had her way in them. Dopps was rebuilding a home but stopped when money got tight. Since he wasn’t working on it and had the house locked up tight, he canceled his insurance. Yes, the house then burned to the ground. “Total loss,” he said. “It’s now in foreclosure.” Both families were involved in acci-

fall in hopes of killing the methanol plant at the ballot box. The methanol plant is projected to use 10.4 million gallons a day. But that vote would come months from now only if the petition gathers enough signatures. The formal milestone in the $3.4 billion methanol project comes April 25, when the port commission takes up the lease extension. The terms of any lease changes will be released next week. The commission received a status report on the project last week, complete with a parade of business and union leaders supporting the lease extension to allow time for NWIW to develop more details and answers about the plant before it restarts the environmental review. Also in attendance were protesters who want the proposal to die because

of the high amount of water and power the plant would use as well as the plant’s impact on the environment and Tacoma’s “gritty city” image. One seemingly unexpected speaker at the Port of Tacoma’s public comment period was David Zeeck, publisher of The News Tribune. He noted that the newspaper is journalistically neutral on the proposal itself, but mentioned that the many questions people have about the proposed methanol plant come from the lack of information that could only come from an environmental review. That review could only come if a lease extension is granted and the review process continues. Others echo the call for an extension to allow for the environmental review to restart and provide the details needed to

decide the merits of the project based on science and data rather than the fear and speculation that is currently driving the debate. “Until that process has run its course, we really can’t make an informed decision,” Merit Co. Principal and Washington Policy Center board member Len Zarelli said. The commission seemed to lean toward extending the lease to allow for the environmental review to continue. Commissioner Don Meyer, for example, said that every decision he makes comes based on information from the financial impacts, the economic opportunities and the port’s environmental stewardship mission. “All three of them have to be evaluated,” he said. “This is not a small undertaking.”

dents that totaled a car, and neither has been replaced. Every time they threw money at one problem – the plumbing, the electrical, the basement, moving the 17-foot long bar – another cropped up. “Adam and I questioned ourselves every day,” Webb said. “And each time we’d get really down, someone from the neighborhood would stop by and want to talk about the bar. People met here and got married. Some of them got married here. They were always so encouraging. It was as if the whole neighborhood was giving us a big hug.” The Goldfish has been at the entrance of Point Defiance Park – the corner of Pearl Street and Park Avenue – since 1933. Before closing in 2012, it had variously served as a tavern, gas station and smalltime grocery. Among the unexpected projects were the two long unused gas containers buried on the lot. Decades earlier, records showed, those huge tanks had been drained of gas and filled with water. The city, however, wanted to be certain. So Dopps and Webb dug them up. One of the tanks extended under the building, so could not be removed safely.

“We had the fire department out here and they told us to put a hole in each tank, even showed us which kind of drill bit to use,” Webb said. “They told us it was safe, so Adam was in this hole as deep as his chin, drilling …” Gas fumes exploded, knocking Webb off his feet. “I got up, looked back and saw Adam was on fire,” Webb said. “All I could think of is what they taught us in school – ‘Stop, Drop and Roll.’” Webb dragged his burning friend from the hole, threw him on the ground and began showering him with bottled water. “I had flames all over me,” Dopps said. “Corey put me out.” He went to the hospital but was treated and released with burns on one arm. His clothing, however, had been burned off. The hospital gave him nursing blues and sent him home. Long ago, Dopps and Webb ran through all of their own money. Last New Year’s Eve, they sat down with the paperwork and looked at bills coming and saw no way out. On the Defiant Goldfish Facebook page, they essentially put the bar up for

sale. They felt there was no other choice. A woman from the neighborhood came up with the money to keep them going. At least until last week. On Friday, permit news broke Dopps. “I cried at that meeting,” he said. “I was completely unprepared to hear we’d need a lot more money and time.” As it stands now, The Defiant Fish has new tables and barstools, a new kitchen, rebuilt floor and a garage door opening onto an outdoor patio. What it does not have is an opening date. Or the money to survive until one is confirmed. “We’re already behind in payments to people who loaned us $10,000 or less,” Dopps said. “We’ve got nothing left and no one else to turn to. If we could get the place open, we’d be in shape to begin paying people back.” “We’re in too far to give up, so we’ll just keep working,” Webb said, shaking his head. “Neither one of us knows what else to do.” Tacoma Weekly reached out to the City of Tacoma for comment but did not receive a response by presstime.

lion legend. Bellarmine senior linebacker Erik Glueck had quite the ride during his three years leading the Lions' defensive charge. When it was all said and done, Glueck ended his high school career as Bellarmine's all-time leading tackler, and helped lead the Lions to three straight state appearances, which included huge upsets in his sophomore and junior seasons. With any luck, Tacoma football fans will be able to watch him on the television next season as he puts on a Washington State Cougars' helmet.

ust when you thought the high school basketball season was all wrapped up and put to bed, a few all-star games get rolled out for the players and the fans and the best of the best sometimes put together quite the show. As has been the case the last few years at the Cloud Nine South Sound All-Star Game, the back and forth action was like watching a hotly-contested tennis match, while both teams burnt up the hardwood and set fire to the nets. Playing at the new and impressive gymnasium at Auburn High School on Friday, March 18, the night’s festivities had four games on tap. Of course, the most important to the Tacoma reader would be the second game which matched up the Team Tacoma All-Stars against the 3A South Puget Sound League All-Stars. It was a game that would test the mettle of not only the scoreboard operator, but anyone in the house trying to keep a running tab on the action shaking out. Looking at the two teams, it was apparent that the SPSL had an incredible height advantage against the slash and attack Tacoma squad. While the SPSL boasted six players standing 6-6 or taller, the Grit City team had junior Luke Lovelady from Life Christian, who stands at 6-6 or 6-7, depending on who you’re asking. It felt like something was going to have to give in this game and in the end it did. Playing four 10-minute quarters, it was sure to be a scoreboard busting game, and both teams did everything they could to make it happen as the SPSL regained the lead midway through the fourth quarter and held off Team Tacoma for 128-125 victory that left pretty much every person in the Auburn gym breathless and dizzy. As if the height advantage wasn’t going to be enough of an obstacle for the Tacoma boys, two players failed to show for the game and Auburn Mountainview head coach Tom Ostrander had to do his best to rotate a total of just eight players throughout a game that was constantly burning rubber. On the other side of the midcourt, SPSL head coach Aubrey Shelton (Lincoln) had the luxury of spreading the workload amongst a full squad of 12 players. The deck was stacked against Tacoma, but they nearly pulled it off despite it all. The SPSL took an early lead in the first quarter splashing a few three-point shots mixed in with some quick passes inside for buckets by the big men. After the first 10 minutes, the SPSL lead had grown to 11 points at 34-23 when the teams sat for what seemed to be a 30-second breather before coming back out for the second period. Tacoma jumped back into the game straight away in the second as Lovelady pulled down a defensive rebound and tossed a quick outlet pass to a streaking Brandon Cotton from Lincoln. The senior lobbed the ball toward the rim and the crowd erupted as Lincoln senior guard

Anderson was selected to the Tacoma Weekly All-City team for the second year in a row. Anderson was also a second team pick for the 3A Narrows League. With several Lincoln guards graduating this year, the Abes are going to need Anderson to take his game higher if Lincoln is to repeat as league champions. (middle) Lincoln senior guard Trevion Brown dazzled Abe fans with his ball skills, long three pointers and surprising dunks. Brown was All-City and a first team pick for the 3A Narrows. (bottom) Wilson senior guard David Jenkins Jr. broke the 50-point barrier twice in the 201516 basketball season and earned national recognition following his exciting exploits.

For the last three football seasons there’s been a distinct sound of smashing pads and cracking helmets ringing through the stands at Bellarmine Prep’s Memorial Field. The big guy roving throughout the middle of the defense, plugging running lanes and dropping opponents for losses left his mark on a storied Lions’ football program, and Erik Glueck has no plans of stopping the mayhem once he walks away with his high school diploma this spring. The two-time Tacoma Weekly All-City selection at middle linebacker will be packing his bags for the Palouse and donning the crimson and grey of the Washington State Cougars next fall. With all-city, all-area and all-state accolades to his name, as well as being a part of three straight Bellarmine state tournament teams, possibly the most impressive thing about Glueck is that he’s just a really nice guy. While he often resembled a young Dick Butkus on the playing field, on his way to owning the Bellarmine career tackles mark, he’s also been a champ in the classroom with a GPA just a smidge under 4.0 (3.96). It’s no wonder why schools institutions of higher learning such as Stanford University and the Air Force Academy were lining up for a shot at landing Glueck. Brains and brawn are a winning combination to bring to the next level. “I was talking quite a bit with Air Force,” said Glueck. “But I could never decide whether I wanted to go that route because it’s just a huge decision and commitment. You can always go into the military later, but I decided that jumping onto that boat in this early stage of my life was maybe something I didn’t want to do. I was talking to Stanford quite a bit, as well as UW (University of Washington), and could have gone and played there. In the end it was obviously WSU for me.” While Glueck will be joining the Cougars as a preferred walk-on, it’s not as if he’s just enrolling at the school with plans to tryout. That’s not how it works these days. “It’s just the same as a

TACOMA STARS’ WALTMAN AND SAWATZKY TABBED FOR HUGE MASL AWARDS Tacoma Stars goalkeeper Danny Waltman and Head Coach and General Manager Darren Sawatzky have been named Major Arena Soccer League Goalkeeper of the Year and Coach of the Year, respectively, the league announced today. Waltman, a 1999 graduate of Bellarmine Prep, tended the net for the Stars in all 20 of the club’s regular season matches, recording over 1,200 minutes and 275 saves while allowing an average of 5.41 goals per game. Waltman finished the season ranked among the top ten keepers in the league in every statistical category. “Danny was an absolute necessity for our expansion team this year,” Sawatzky said. “There are many very talented goalkeepers in this league, but his value to us was evident. We are very happy for him.” Waltman racked up a total of three MASL Player of the Week nods during the season, and on Tuesday he was named to the 2015-16 First Team All-MASL roster. “I am extremely honored and surprised to be named MASL Goalkeeper of the Year,” Waltman said. “A great deal of the credit goes to my teammates for defending at an elite level all season and making me look good. There are so many immensely talented goalkeepers in this league, so earning this award is a tremendous honor.” Tacoma compiled a 13-7 record and earned a postseason berth in their first full season in the MASL under the direction of Sawatzky. Under his guidance and with the leadership of Waltman, the Stars allowed the fourth fewest opponent goals in the league (109). “We had a lot of players new to the MASL this year and they all worked extremely hard for me,” Sawatzky said. “When you add the veteran knowledge we had to that mix, it helped us make the playoffs and achieve success on and off the field in our first year. I am thankful for the recognition. Our entire group worked hard to make sure the Stars were recognized.” Season tickets for the Stars 2016-17 season are available now.

SOUNDERS WOMEN HOLD TRYOUTS AND ANNOUNCE FIRST FRIENDLY VERSUS WSU The Sounders Women held tryouts over March 19th and 20th at Starfire Sports Complex for the 2016 season. For over a decade the Sounders Women have entered an amateur team in the highest amateur league in the country for women’s soccer. With the W-League disbanding after the 2015 season, the Sounders Women find themselves in a new league for the first time in over a decade as they start their first Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) campaign in May. With the Player First Initiative, the Sounders Women will continue to help develop the top local talent along with the top professional prospects from across the country and abroad. The Sounders Women had five former Sounders Women players drafted in this year’s NWSL draft and Rose Lavelle, who played the 2015 season for the side, was called into her first US Women’s full national team camp. The tryout process allows local players and players from across the United States to come and compete for a roster spot on a team with a history in helping players move up. Kim Calkins, current Washington Youth Soccer Technical Director and former professional player, takes the reigns as the Sounders Women head coach for 2016. “We will be adding to our roster after the Sounders Women open tryouts over the weekend. Open tryouts are good for competitive players to be seen and considered for an opportunity with the Sounders Women which may not have come otherwise,” said Kim Calkins, Sounders Women head coach. Sounders Women open pre-season with a match against Washington State University on April 16th at Liberty High School in Renton. The regular starts for the women in the WPSL on May 22nd against Vancouver at Starfire Sports Stadium at 12pm. Questions pertaining to the schedule or tryouts should be directed to Darren Sawatzky at darrens@soundersu23.com. Come check out the future of women’s soccer. SOUNDERS U23 LOOK TO DEFEND THEIR WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP AND MORE The defending Western Conference Champions, Sounders U23, held tryouts over March 19th and 20th at Sunset Stadium in Sumner, Washington. Over 90 players competed over the 2-day event looking to make their mark and find a spot on the Sounders U23 roster. Players came in from as far away as Delaware, Maryland from within the United States, and as far away as Austria from across the globe. The Sounders U23 team operates as the amateur affiliate to the Sounders 2 and Sounders FC first teams. DeAndre Yedlin, Sean Okoli, Darwin Jones, Aaron Kovar, Jordan Schweitzer, and Jordan Morris all spent time playing in the Sounders U23 before signing with Sounders FC as homegrown players. Over the past four years, the Sounders U23 has helped over 45 different players sign professional contracts, littering the professional leagues within the United States and around the world. Jonathan Campbell is already making his mark at the Chicago Fire early in the MLS season after playing this past summer for the Sounders U23 and gaining PDL All League accolades.

“The U23 Sounders was a great experience for me, as I wanted to be around a professional environment. Darren recruited a great group of guys that were able to bond together and do well in the playoffs. The practice sessions were focused and intense, providing us with opportunities to grow and prepare,” said Campbell. The Sounders U23 team operates with the Player First Initiative and helps players further develop as they head into the professional game. The tryout process is another avenue in player selection as young players look to make that jump. “Our tryouts bring in a lot of players each year as most young players are looking to get to the MLS level,” explained Darren Sawatzky, Sounders U23 head coach and general manager, “Each year we find a player or two that makes the roster and some have excelled beyond Sounders U23 into the professional game. This is the goal of our programming with the Sounders U23 team.” In 2014, Zev Taulieb came in from Valpraiso University and made the team through the open tryout process. He started the season as a training player, quickly moved into a playing role, and by the end of the season, was starting for Sounders U23. Taulieb has since signed professional contracts and has played for the Sacramento Republic and the Wilmington Hammerheads respectively. Taulieb has also gone through training camp with MLS side Toronto FC. The recent tryouts completed on March 20 in Sumner, with a few news faces getting an opportunity at playing for the PDL side this summer. “As is the case with all players, development never stops. We will do everything we can to help these players get the opportunity to play, but the work really starts now for them,” said Sawatzky, “We do not start training until May when the college players arrive so these players have an opportunity to get fit and ready for the short camp.” The Sounders U23 team starts pre-season with a game at the Bellingham Hammers on Friday, May 6th at 7pm. The US Open Cup competition starts on May 11th with the opponent yet to be determined, and PDL league play starts on May 22nd at Sunset Stadium in Sumner as the Sounders U23 host Crossfire PDL at 2pm.

Many people look forward to it every year. We really enjoy being able to do a clinic for those around PLU and those who support Lute athletics.

TWO LUTES QUALIFY FOR NWC CHAMPIONSHIPS AFTER TIGHT HEPTATHLON FINISH Two Pacific Lutheran track and field student-athletes qualified for the NWC Multi-Event Championships following completion of the Pacific Combined Event on Tuesday, March 22. Machaela Graddy placed second with a point total of 3615, only two points behind winner Lindsay Asplund (3617) of Corban University, a member of the NAIA. Fellow Lute Paige Runco finished in seventh with a total of 3259 points. “It was really challenging going into the second day being in seventh place, but I knew I had a couple of strong events that would help me,” said Graddy. “It was such a great experience because we can tell exactly what I need to do to break that 4000 point barrier.” Graddy had her best performances in in the 200 (27:26) and javelin (112-7/34.31m), finishing first in both events. She added a second-place finish in the shot put (30-2/9.19m) and third-place in the 100 hurdles (17:76). Runco’s best event was the high jump, where she placed second with a height of 4-10.5 (1.49m), and she finished third in both the shot put (29-7.25/9.02m) and 800 (2:32:67). “What I have learned from this experience is that I have come leaps and bounds from where I started,” said Runco. “I set a personal record in four out of seven events at this meet and it shows that I have nowhere else to go but up from here. I’m excited to see where this season goes, and all that I’m able to accomplish!” “The last few days has been very fruitful for Machaela and Paige,” said head coach Heather Kreier. “Watching them set personal records in several events in the hep and learning from events they can improve upon is so vital as we head toward the NWC Multi Event Championships in midApril. Solid performances by both… definitely a confidence booster to both women. Another great day for the Lutes.” Both Graddy and Runco will compete at the NWC Multi-Event Championships set for April 11 and 12 hosted by George Fox. The PLU track & field teams return to action Saturday, March 26 at the Peyton Invitational hosted by the University of Puget Sound.

Trevion Brown took to the air and hammered the ball through the basket for an electrifying alley-oop. The SPSL would not be impressed, however, and just kept hammering away, even though it appeared that Team Tacoma had found its groove. Three minutes into the quarter, the SPSL lead had grown to 12 points at 42-30. The next two minutes of play would see Team Tacoma put together their first healthy run of the night, outscoring the SPSL 12-2 and cutting the lead to 44-42. The two teams would flirt with getting close enough to tie the game, but the SPSL kept one step ahead and stretched their lead to nine points by halftime, leading 62-53. After a small, five minute halftime rest, the teams took to the floor again. It would be an explosive Tacoma beginning as Brown kicked off what would be the start of a 23-2 run with a long three-pointer that set a new tone for the boys. It all happened within just two and a half minutes and Tacoma now led 76-64 and the crowd couldn’t believe the change of fortunes.

t Glueck From page A12

As all-star games go, the point swings happen often and they can be big. Just four minutes later, the SPSL took an 83-80 after a 19-4 run of their own and it looked as though this game could possibly go down to the wire. Despite the height difference and having a four-man disadvantage, Team Tacoma wasn’t going down without leaving it all on the court. With less than a minute left in the third quarter, Life Christian senior Reid Roelofs sent a long pass down court to Brown who had nothing between himself and the basket. Instead of laying the ball in, Brown bounced the ball hard off of the floor, launched himself toward the rim and dunked the ball with both hands, completing an alley-oop to himself and giving Tacoma a 93-85 lead. It was easily the most dazzling play in a game full of high points. After three free throws to end the quarter, Tacoma led 93-88 going into the final stanza. It wouldn’t take long as the SPSL cut the lead and tied the game at 101-101 with 7:35 to go in regulation. From that point on, the two teams would play it close, trading basket after basket, with Tacoma securing its final tie of the game at 115-115 before slipping behind the SPSL for good. Two free throws with 38.8 seconds remaining gave the SPSL a 128-122 lead and the next trip down the court

saw a long Tacoma three-point attempt fall short. Tacoma would get the ball back with just four seconds on the clock and it proved to be just enough time for one more thrill. Wilson senior guard David Jenkins Jr. let the inbounds pass roll toward half-court before picking up the ball. The 3A Narrows League MVP launched a jumper from just past the half-court circle and as the buzzer sounded, the ball dropped through the bottom of the net. It was a fitting end to an exciting game and a memorable career for Jenkins. Tacoma was led by Lincoln sophomore Trevante Anderson’s 29 points, followed by an impressive performance by Lovelady who finished with 19. Brown finished with 18 points and Roelofs pitched in 15. Jenkins ended the night with 12 points despite missing the entire first quarter stuck in traffic, for the second year in a row at the Cloud Nine game. Cotton also added eight points. In the 4A Narrows versus 4A SPSL South game, the Narrows hung throughout but were unable to keep up with Curtis’ Aushanti Potts-Woods, who finished the game with 34 points as the 4A SPSL won 111-102. Bellarmine’s Christian Moore scored 11 points, while teammate Joey Bodoia added nine for the 4A Narrows.

enter WSU on an early enrollment because he would have had to leave before his graduation. He wasn’t sure how much of a benefit that would have been for him anyways. He’s also taking the same approach to the game as when he began his football career at Bellarmine. As a sophomore, Glueck started the first game of the season and by the time he played his final snap as a senior, had never lost his spot to another player. “I think what I need to work on right now is just getting bigger, faster and stronger,” said Glueck. “I’m excited to get over there and compete for a spot and my goal is to play. I’m not going to go with

the mindset that I’ll be a fourth-string. I’m going to go in there with the mindset that I’m going to take somebody’s position and it’s going to be mine for the next four years. “If you don’t shoot for the stars, you’re not going to get what you truly want.”

scholarship, except they don’t support me financially,” said Glueck. “I have a spot on the team and all that. The cool thing about WSU is they have had a lot of success with preferred walk-ons. They are going to give you a shot and I believe I can do it.” For years, movies and television shows have made the college football recruitment process look glamourous and exciting. The fact of the matter is that it’s a process that can really take a toll on a high schooler. “The recruiting process is extremely stressful,” said Glueck. “Besides going to some of the fun events and visits and having coaches come over and visit, other times it’s not so fun. Coaches can lead you on, some don’t, and it’s very Lighthouse Laundry complicated. It’s a huge Spring is in the Air!

heir first role model was Jack Black. These days, they draw inspiration from â&#x20AC;&#x153;punk queenâ&#x20AC;? Miley Cyrus; and on Sunday, March 27, Bay Area pop-rock outfit SWMRS (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;swimmersâ&#x20AC;?) will fill Real Art Tacoma with irresistibly hooky sounds from last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive Northâ&#x20AC;? album. Recently, Tacoma Weekly caught up with singer-guitarist Max Becker who explained why that is technically the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut, even if the band recorded a couple of other discs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Be a D---â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost at Seventeen,â&#x20AC;? in 2011 and 2013, respectively. Also, he delved deep into the whole â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannah Montanaâ&#x20AC;? thing. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of that conversation. , '% / #$1 I was reading about your background and learned you guys were actually inspired by the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;School of Rock.â&#x20AC;? # * It was actually our other band, but it inspired us to start playing music. When we were 10 years old, â&#x20AC;&#x153;School of Rockâ&#x20AC;? came out. So we were like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If those kids can do it, we can totally do it.â&#x20AC;? ,/ There have been a few incarnation or name changes with this band. You were Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army at some point. You were Clocks. You used to spell out Swimmers. # * The main one was Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army, and then we kind of decided we wanted to start in a new direction. We had a member change, so we added Sebastian

(Mueller) to play bass. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of when SWMRS officially started. It was spelled out normally for a second, but â&#x20AC;Ś it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until mid-2015 when we finalized the official spelling of the name. ,/ You have kind of an MGMT thing

going on. # * (He laughs.) Yeah, I guess. A couple of people have said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you guys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t S.W.M.R.S.? No, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Swimmers.â&#x20AC;? ,/ So you worked with Billie Joe from Green Day on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Be a D---.â&#x20AC;? (Armstrong produced the album.) Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d you hook up with him? # * Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our drummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad. ,/ Oh, I did not realize that. # * Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something we talk about all the time. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this fantastic musician, but to Colin (Becker) and me heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like an uncle, and to Joey (drummer Armstrong) heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dad. You know, rather than playing sports he was like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me record you.â&#x20AC;? It was awesome, and we learned a ton. ,/ You released the single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mileyâ&#x20AC;? last year, which works on a couple of levels. It could be an earnest tribute, or it could be an ironic thing where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re poking fun at huge megastars. What inspired you that one? # * We see it as more of an observation than an opinion piece, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up with Miley Cyrus in our lives, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannah Montanaâ&#x20AC;? to her pop phase to now; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s into this weird psych-pop thing sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing with Wayne Coyne (of the Flaming Lips.)

What happens with a lot of Disney stars is they fall off the face of the planet, or they just become molded by the people that work for them. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right or wrong, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing whatever the hell she wants, and we admire that. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of what the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about, and we just decided to come out with it first because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also crazy live. We wanted peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first impression of SWMRS to be (that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re) well-produced, fun live with lots of energy and creative. ,/ I was watching an interview clip with (Los Angeles radio station) KROQ, and you say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually run into her a few times. # * Yeah, when we were younger we actually went and saw her concert. (He cracks up.) ,/ So back when she was still

innocent. # * She was Hannah Montana,

yeah. We were all in middle school, and we honestly wanted to go just because (a) we all had crushes on her and (b) it just seemed fun. So we went and saw her live, and at one point Joey went and saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannah Montanaâ&#x20AC;? being filmed live on set. So there have been a couple of moments when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run across her. Obviously, that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened in a long time. (He laughs.) But yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny how sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been this weird part of our lives. ,/ You guys do stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a punk vein, but you have these connections to the pop world. Like you also cover the Robyn song, as well (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing on My Ownâ&#x20AC;?). # * (He laughs.) The thing is,

Cole and I write pop songs, whether we like it or not. We end up writing very poppy songs, and we play them in a punk way. But I love that Robyn song, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of my favorite songs to listen to and literally to dance to on my own to. When we did that a couple of years ago, it just made sense. ,/ You point to the new album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive Northâ&#x20AC;? as a sea change in what you do. What was the point or maybe the song where things started to gel for this project? # * Before, in Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army, we were touring for maybe three weeks in the summer, and that was it. Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of college and just ready to execute 100 percent. Early 2015 was a huge turning point for us where we realized we really gel with this producer (Fidlar singer Zac Carper), and we actually have a lot of songs. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do this. Then, all of a sudden, we got a new manager. Things just started to click. We recorded our new record, went on tour with some awesome bands, and then we were like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay, this is happening.â&#x20AC;? It was kind of like 2015 was the year that we really got our gears going. This year is the year for us to grow.

AQUATIC MUSIC. Tan Dun's "Water Passion" features a unique arrangement of instrumentalists and vocal performers at the March 20 performance. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

On March 20, the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra brought its Pantages Theater audience to its feet for a prolonged, standing ovation after a mystical, magical performance of composer Tan Dunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water Passion.â&#x20AC;? The Passion of Christ refers to the short, final period of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life: His betrayal, arrest, scourging, trial, crucifixion and resurrection. Here the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;passionâ&#x20AC;? refers to its Latin meaning, â&#x20AC;&#x153;suffering, enduring.â&#x20AC;? Theatrical and musical works of art dealing with this phase of the Jesus narrative have a deep-rooted history in Western civilization and have been a feature of the Easter season for centuries. The unique work of musical art is centered around 17 transparent water basins (arranged in a cross formation) that are used in conjunction with hands, wooden bowls, long tubes, spoons, cups and other devices to create a wide range of sound effects. World-renowned David Cossin was lead percussionist for the performance. Additionally, the voices of Tacoma Symphony Chorus were backed by up a pair of guest vocalists: bass singer Gary Sorenson and soprano Elizabeth Keusch. The pair performed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water Passionâ&#x20AC;? libretto, an operatic journey of the passion of Christ. Interestingly, the piece starts with the baptism and temptations of Christ before jumping to the last supper, the betrayal, the crucifixion and resurrection. Watery percussive effects featured prominently in each phase. The vocal parts were marked by some fascinating, non-traditional techniques â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as Tibetan throat singing. Much of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water Passionâ&#x20AC;? was borne along by the lively playing of Svend Ronningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violin, Kevin Krentzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cello and Amy Boersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; keyboard work. Ronning, a music professor at PLU and artistic director of the Second City Chamber Series, had a par-

ticularly manic moment in which he got up and danced about and stuck out his tongue mockingly at the bass, Sorenson, who was in the role of Christ. TSO conductor Sarah Ioannides moved like a willowy wizard, as she seemed to conjure the music out of her own being during the complex performance. No stranger to this composition, Ioannides was Tan Dunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant conductor from 1999 till 2003, during which time she worked on performances of the piece at venues all over the globe. Tan Dunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water Passionâ&#x20AC;? was the result of a 2000 commission by the International Bach Academy in Germany. This organization commissioned four composers to write new â&#x20AC;&#x153;passionsâ&#x20AC;? to mark the 250th anniversary of the death of Bach, who was particularly interested in the passion genre. Tan Dun based his passion on the Gospel of Matthew. Tan Dun is best known as the Oscar award-winning composer that scored the 2000 movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.â&#x20AC;? Noting that water is a multi-cultural symbol for creation, death and rebirth, the composer focused on that fluid element as the main feature for his musical treatment of the passion of Christ. The 74 minute performance reached its crescendo with a musical earthquake at the point of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. Following that, there was a stunning resurrection phase of the music during which all 17 of the water basins were in use as the stage lights zeroed in on the crystalline basins that cast a glow upward into the faces of the performers as they softly stirred the waters of life with their hands. The effect was of a living, watery cross casting an illumination, like that of fiery embers, as the composition came to its close. The audience, spellbound throughout the performance, came to its feet and showed its appreciation with thunderous applause. See story on B4 for a run down of TSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming productions.

TACOMA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA'S 70TH SEASON Tacoma Symphony Orchestra released details for its 70th anniversary season which reveals a robust, revitalized artistic institution with visionary leadership that is taking the orchestra to new heights. Founded in 1946 and professionalized during the 1990s, the Tacoma Symphony concluded a two-year international search for a new music director in 2014 with the appointment of Sarah Ioannides. Her inaugural season resulted in sold out concerts and a 35 percent increase in ticket revenue. The organization recently restated its Mission as Building Community Through Music; a new 10year Strategic Plan, Artistic Vision, and refreshed brand are currently in development. Sarah Ioannidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third season is a blend of innovation and tradition, and a remarkable demonstration of her skills as a musical curator. Guest artists include violinist Vadim Gluzman, whom Strings Magazine described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;fire walking while fiddlingâ&#x20AC;?; saxophonist Amy Dickson, who was just named the 2016 Young Australian of the Year; and Korean violinist Kristin Lee, praised for her â&#x20AC;&#x153;mastery of toneâ&#x20AC;? by The Strad. Major orchestral works include DvoĹ&#x2122;ĂĄkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Worldâ&#x20AC;? Symphony, Coplandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Appalachian Spring, Tchaikovskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter Dreamsâ&#x20AC;? Symphony, and Debussyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s La Mer. Jazz trumpeter Jens Lindemann will be the guest for a spring pops concert titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Symphony Sweethearts.â&#x20AC;? The Tacoma Symphony Chorus will perform Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Requiem with the orchestra, as well as its annual Messiah concerts, both in Tacoma and Gig Harbor. One of the highlights will be the World Premiere of a new symphonic poem written in homage to Mount Rainier by Puyallup native Daniel Ott. The work for chorus and orchestra is being commissioned by the Symphony as part of the National Park Service centennial. Paired with Debussyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great impressionist opus La Mer, the project celebrates the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richness and sense of place, and is intended to raise awareness of the plight of Mount Rainierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glaciers, which are melting at an increasing and alarming rate. The Museum of Glass (MOG) will create a piece of art inspired by mountain and glacier imagery. The glassblowing process will be captured on a video that will accompany the performance, juxtaposed with photography of the mountain. On the October 22 season opening concert, Vadim Gluzman will be featured in Glazunovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Violin Concertoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;performing it on the actual 1690 Stradivarius violin on which the great Leopold Auer premiered the work in 1905. In addition, Gluzman will perform with members of the string section at the Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;New World Masqueradeâ&#x20AC;? Gala the previous night at Tacoma Art Museum. The November 19 concert will frontline the fascinating young saxophonist Amy Dickson in her own arrangement of the Philip Glass Violin Concerto No. 1, first heard on a critically-acclaimed RCA disc in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amy Dickson has

a luscious, creamy tone that sounds somewhere between a clarinet and a flute,â&#x20AC;? writes a reviewer in All Music. She obtained Philip Glassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing to arrange the work for saxophone, premiering it in 2008. Because of its origins as a string concerto, it has leaps and intervals which present a formidable challenge to a wind player. It also includes lengthy phrases which require circular breathing: inhaling through the nose while exhaling through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks. The technique is beyond the capability of most players; Dickson pushes it beyond all previously known limits. On December 4, the Tacoma Youth Chorus will return for Sounds of the Season, the Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual collage concert of holiday favorites. Sarah Ioannides and Geoffrey Boers will trade places this December, with Boers conducting Sounds of the Season at the Pantages, and Ioannides leading Handelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Messiah at St. Charles Bor-

romeo in Tacoma and Chapel Hill Presbyterian in Gig Harbor. The December 15 Messiah at Chapel Hill launches a new three-concert series in Gig Harbor, with concerts following in February and March, each repeated across the bridge in Tacoma. The February 25-26 concert cycle will introduce Korean violinist Kristin Lee, cited for her â&#x20AC;&#x153;driven, commanding performanceâ&#x20AC;? (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), in the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. That same program concludes with Tchaikovskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Symphony No. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter Dreams.â&#x20AC;? On March 25-26, Sarah Ioannides leads the Tacoma Symphony Chorus in Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gripping and powerful Requiem. Jazz trumpeter Jens Lindemann is frontlined on Symphony Sweethearts on April 22. Hailed as one of the most celebrated soloists in his instrumentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, Lindemann was recently named â&#x20AC;&#x153;International Brass Personality of the Yearâ&#x20AC;? (Brass Herald). Along with full symphony and guest jazz band, Lindemann and Ioannides will present a program of Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, Garner and others, the perfect â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayâ&#x20AC;? outing. The season concludes on May 13 with a concert celebrating the richness and sense of place inherent in the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from mountain to sound. Suite No. 1 from Griegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peer Gynt, including the mysterious and fantastic â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Hall of the Mountain King,â&#x20AC;? opens the program. This will be followed by the world premiere of the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mount Rainier Concertoâ&#x20AC;? (a working title), written in honor of the centennial of Mount Rainier National Park. For chorus and orchestra, the piece is being commissioned by the Tacoma Symphony from composer Daniel Ott, a rising name in classical music who grew up in Puyallup and now teaches at Fordham University and The Juilliard School. Debussyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great impressionist work La Mer concludes the evening. Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acclaimed Museum of Glass will create a piece of art inspired by the imagery of Mount Rainier and its imperiled glaciers. The glassblowing process will be captured on video and edited to accompany the performance on the big screenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;along with images from the park. The environmentally themed program will also incorporate educational outreach events featuring Ott, guest artists, MOG and National Park Service officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; engaging people of diverse ages and backgrounds from throughout the South Puget Sound region. Current season ticket holders are being mailed renewal materials. New subscription orders are also being accepted; new subscribers will be seated after renewing subscribers and in advance of tickets going on sale to the general public. Subscription offerings-starting at $108-include the Premier 8 (all concerts), and the Master 6 (all five Classics concerts and choice of Sounds of the Season or Spring Pops). Subscribers save up to 25 percent, the equivalent of getting two concerts free. To subscribe, call (253) 5915894 or visit tacomasymphony.org.

UNPLUGGED. The legendary Peter Frampton plays Broadway Center's Pantages Theatre March 26. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

In hindsight, it may not have been the best idea to bring up David Bowie during a recent interview with rock legend Peter Frampton. Tacoma Weekly had Frampton on the line last week in anticipation of his acoustic tour taking over Broadway Center’s Pantages Theatre on Saturday, March 26. The conversation got off to a fairly innocuous start, with the 65-year-old British rocker anticipating some fun down time in the Bay Area. “I’ve got my day off here today, so I’m takin’ it easy,” he declared. “We’re just outside San Francisco today, so I’m just gonna be wandering around and catching up on stuff.” Then he got a kick out of the mention of Dudley Taft, a staple of the Northwest music scene going back to his time with altrock bands Sweet Water and Second Coming in the ‘90s. During an October interview with the Weekly, Taft talked about returning to his hometown of Cincinnati in 2013 and buying Frampton’s house, which came loaded with some pretty nice toys. “I left my studio there that I built when I bought the house many years ago,” Frampton recalled, chuckling. “It was a pretty nice studio, to say the least. I don’t think he could believe his luck when he walked in and saw that. So yeah, he’s got a very nice house and a wonderful studio.” But presently, the rocker’s mood soured at the mention of Bowie. Frampton had been friends with the late rocker – who died of liver cancer in January – since the two attended Bromley Technical School in the suburbs of London in the 1960s. They also occasionally worked together over the years, notably when Bowie tapped Frampton to play on his 1987 Glass Spider Tour, a boost for the guitarist at a time when he was in the midst of mounting a comeback. But Frampton wasn’t

ready to share any anecdote, no matter how delicately the topic had been broached. “I kind of do that in the show,” he said, alluding to a tribute he has been doing in concert. “I’m not gonna go there, actually. I’ve said what I’m going to say. He was a dear friend, a lifelong friend, and we’ve all lost a genius, as far as I’m concerned. But I prefer not to ...” Frampton trailed off, and we quickly switched gears to talk about the tour. The damage had already been done, however, and there was a heaviness to his voice as he tried to gather his thoughts. “Uh, let’s see,” he said, after a long pause. “You kind of threw me there hitting me with the David Bowie thing right off.” After another pregnant pause he added, “Actually, I’m not really in the mood to talk right now. We’ll have to do this later.” The line went silent. The interview was never rescheduled, so we had to turn to other sources to get an idea of what to expect from the tour finale this weekend. Accompanying the rock legend on the road this time around are his son, singerguitarist Julian Frampton, and his longtime friend and collaborator, Gordon Kennedy. The trio is on the road in support of Frampton’s new album, “Acoustic Classics,” which arrived on Feb. 26. As its title suggests, the disc contains unplugged versions of some of the Frampton’s most iconic hits, the likes of “Show Me the Way,” “I’m in You,” and “Baby, I Love Your Way.” There’s even a stripped down version of “Do You Feel Like We Do,” greatly abbreviated from the 14minute epic that closes out “Frampton Comes Alive.” Frampton told Billboard magazine that he’d been toying with the idea of doing an acoustic album for years. “People have been trying to get me to do it for years, and I just didn’t want to try it,” he said. “I now think it was just stubborn-

ness and fear—or fear and then stubbornness because I was scared.” Fans should expect a healthy dose of material from “Comes Alive,” which cemented Frampton’s solo run after he left Humble Pie in the early ‘70s. Recent set lists indicate Frampton and company have been playing half of the album, which remains one of the most popular live recordings of all time. He has also been covering material by the Beatles, Eric Clapton and Buddy Holly. The latter is likely an homage to his fallen friend. “He (Bowie) introduced me to different types of music, like Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran,” he told TMZ in 2011, specifically citing Holly’s hit, “Peggy Sue.” It’s possible that fans who miss Frampton this weekend may not have to wait too long to see him again. He recently announced a joint tour with classic southern-rock act Lynyrd Skynyrd that is set for this summer. However, no local tour dates have been announced yet.

Tacoma Little Theatre presents the 2013 Tony Award winning comedy “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike”, written by Christopher Durang, and directed by Frank Kohel.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Relationships may have rattled your cage lately and you try your best to strike a balance between the deepest forms of intimacy and keeping parts of yourself tucked away where no one can find them. You’re acutely aware of what is to be gained or lost and you work to control the situation.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Wants and desires well up within you as you realize that there’s a definitive difference between building toward a stable life and just floating in a sea of possibilities. Right now, you need something concrete to rely on and you won’t take any substitutions or empty promises.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Intense emotions about your significant other or relationship status may strike you unexpectedly. You work hard at controlling these emotions, but it may require alone time to process them completely. On the other hand, if you’re committed, your connection seems to beautifully solidify.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You vacillate between being aware of your separateness and coming to a sudden conclusion that your greatest need is connection with another. You may find yourself crying out for what you need in a rather awkward display of vulnerability. Show your soft underbelly and you will be rewarded.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You may find yourself having to take care of someone because of a sudden illness. While not typically the one people turn to when times get rough, you prove that you can be relied upon to not only provide for someone, but to also show your strengths in working with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) You may find yourself meditating on the end of your journey on this astral plane. A momentary preoccupation with death is fine if you realize that – regardless of your religious beliefs – it is not the end of your soul’s journey. There is much we do not know about the afterlife. Contemplate it.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) You become hyper-aware of the way that your behavior influences other people and the impact that this can have on your emotional nature. People seem to have dramatic responses to you lately, both good and bad. Take some time off to reflect on it and figure out why this happens. LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) You may be experiencing some heavy feelings toward your home life and family this week and find it difficult to separate yourself out from them. You realize that you may need to let go of your old friend, Ego, to properly serve those that rely on you. Adulthood is rapping at your door rather sharply. VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Keeping your thoughts to yourself is proving to be more difficult than normal, as your thoughts keep slipping past your inner filter and bursting out of your mouth. Prepare for strong reactions from people because of this and try to at least have a good damage control back-up plan.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) If anyone needs to find you, all they have to do is look under a pile of books. Learning about anything right now becomes obsessive, as you come to the realization that – as much as you already know – there is infinite wisdom out there yet to learn. Open your heart and mind to new lessons.

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) Intense reflections bordering on obsession about what you have accomplished in this life may take hold. You find yourself marinating on what state you will leave this world in rather than what it has done for you. Altruism is on tap right now so make the most of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Hermiting yourself away to contemplate what you have achieved in life is possible right now, especially if you are bouncing ideas off of a close, trusted companion. Your relationship successes and failures are brought to light and you wonder what you could have done differently.
