CHARTER REVIEW MOVES FORWARD WITH CHANGE OF MAYORAL DUTIES By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The committee tasked with reviewing Tacoma’s City Charter is moving forward with a planned recommendation to the city council that would change the way the city operates. The change would strengthen the role of the mayor from a largely ceremonial role to one that directly appoints the city’s department heads. The Charter Review’s subcommittee concerning the form of government approved

a plan to recommend to the full Charter Review effort a change that would largely mirror the City of Spokane’s charter. The subcommittee will now draft a model for discussion by the full committee, which will then forward recommendations to the city council. The city council would then decide if this, or any, recommendations are placed on a public ballot. Subcommittee chairman Ken Miller and members Bill Baarsma, Justin Leighton, Gary Brackett, Justin Van Dyk and Jim Merritt voted to support the change. Member

WHAT’S RIGHT ųWITH TACOMA

Mabel Edmonds opposed the draft. The subcommittee hopes to have a working draft of the proposed changes to present at its first public hearing April 9. “This is historic,” Baarsma said. “This is a big change.” Cities with more than 100,000 residents generally have a municipal structure that has the mayor playing a strong leadership and oversight role of city activities by proposing budgets and overseeing department chiefs, for example. In Tacoma, those duties are X See CHARTER / page A11

TOXINS. A University of Washington Tacoma study raises concerns about the levels of arsenic and lead found in South Sound lakes. Tacoma’s Snake Lake is among the 26 bodies of water researchers tested.

SAFETY OF LAKE FISH IN QUESTION UWT RESEARCHERS TESTED 26 LAKES By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

A

study by University of Washington Tacoma researchers tested the waters of 26 lakes around the South Sound and concluded that the bodies of water contain high levels of arsenic and lead. Those toxins could raise questions about the safety of the fish consumed from those waters, although future research is needed. The toxins are linked to the metal smelting operations at American Smelting and Refining Co., or Asarco, in Ruston, which has also been linked to soil contamination in a 1,000-squaremile area reaching as far north as Seattle and south to Olympia. Asarco operated for almost 100 years before it ceased operations in 1989. Testing and clean up of soil has been underway ever since. But that effort hasn’t reached the area’s lakes, which are popular with sports fishing. “With 83 percent of the lakes in the deposition zone having surface sediments exceeding published ‘probable effects concentrations’ for arsenic and lead, this study provides evidence for possible ongoing environmental health concerns,” the study reported. Lakes in urbanized areas are particularly of concern since the lakes are stocked with sports fish by Department of Fish and Wildlife as well as used for recreational activities that put people in contact with contaminated water. These lakes are also considered more concerning since they are largely shallow, so the heavy

“The research is still ongoing and it is certainly on our radar.”

Tacoma Smelter Plume Project Planner

metal toxins are found pretty evenly through the water column rather than simply settling to the lake-bed sediment. While the most contaminated lakes are found in North Pierce County and South King County because that pattern follows the common wind direction inland from Commencement Bay, Tacoma’s Snake Lake and Wapato Lake tested about standard toxin levels. Wapatop, for example, contained 19.8 milligrams of arsenic per kilogram of sediment. “Basically, when the wind blew toward Seattle, they would let it fly,” said Associate Professor of Environmental Chemistry and Engineering at UWT’s Environmental Science and Studies James E. Gawel, Ph.D., noting that Asarco had a policy in the 1970s that shut down smelter operations only when the wind blew from the north and directed the toxins toward Tacoma. Even with that policy, much of Tacoma and the surrounding cities were contaminated by arsenic and lead, which were used in the smelting process. The Department of Ecology has an on-going program to monitor or remove the toxic soil in residential yards, schoolyards, camps and parks where there might be direct

contact with contaminated dirt. The program started in 2009, when the State of Washington received a settlement from Asarco for $94 million to pay for cleanup of the Tacoma Smelter Plume. That settlement however, does not include the testing and cleanup of lake sediment at this point. “The research is still ongoing and it is certainly on our radar,” Tacoma Smelter Plume Project Planner Hannah Aoyagi, Ph.D. The arsenic standard for freshwater sediments is 14 milligrams per kilogram of sediment, but that standard was set in 2013 and doesn’t take into account fish or human health risk. Those risks are calculated on a site-bysite basis and have yet to be determined for the lakes. What is also unknown at this point is the level of heavy metal contamination the fish in the lakes contain and what levels could be passed to people eating the fish caught from the lakes. “That is kind of the really big picture,” Gawel said.

The Lucky Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer: Sea Turtle and Mountain Edition By Kathleen Merryman The turtles are my buddies. I admired the green sea turtles, the honu, who graze around the edges of Kauai, long before I got cancer. Ancient and new, they don’t much mind sharing a wave with us at Brennecke Beach. Grazing on seaweed in the rocks at Spouting Horn, they have no clue that we come to watch them – that every time we spot them, we yip with pleasure and point. None of that matters to them. They just keep on surviving the bumps in the ocean. That’s why I was so happy to run into them the day I began chemotherapy. The honu co-star in one of the assortment of waiting room videos in the Milgard Cancer Center in Multicare Medical Center’s Philip Pavilion. Digitized, those turtles and schools of reef fish work most days to pull an assortment of mainlanders into the kind of happy place where we’re willing to launch repeated assaults on our own bodies. Welcome to The Lucky Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, Sea Turtle and Mountain Edition. The sea turtles don’t do it alone. They can’t because, cool as they are, they don’t appeal to every spirit. They’re just one element in the wallpaper of memory and optimism built around the hospital’s cancer war. Some days, instead of turtles we get gardens, and some days we get the desert. We never know precisely where they are. Both ways, we get lessons in resilience and endurance. Fresh from short, dark days, azaleas, trillium and dogwood bounce back, dewy and new somewhere in the Northwest. Steadfast after millennia of carving winds, rock formations stand like families, together, enduring, changing, redefining. They reach into the spot that resonates with their image, and we grab hold. And that’s just the video wallpaper in the place. Every photograph on the walls is of a spot we might have been smart and active enough to visit in our Northwest. Every image invites us to come back again, as soon as we are well and ready. “Get through this,” the stones in a stream say. “Get back here, so we can be beautiful together,” calls a patch of rain forest. From the check-in desk to the chemo suites, everyone who works in the joint joins the chorus. They are the better angels into which oldfashioned medicine has evolved. True, they’re big fans of the advances science has made with drugs, radiation and operations. All that magical technology can keep us from barfing, these days. It’s so much better, Merrilee and Maiken, Chris and Lisa say, than it was even nine years ago, even four years ago. These days, at lunchtime, Roland

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

MAN KILLED IN SIXTH AVENUE SHOOTING Parts of Tacoma’s Sixth Avenue District were blocked by police tape while investigators were collecting evidence in the death of 19-year-old Charles Williams of University Place, who was fatally shot in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 23. The shooting occurred around 1:30 a.m. Sunday along the 2600 block of Sixth Avenue. A witness recorded the shooting, which involved someone firing several bullets at a crowd. KING 5 News posted the video on its website Sunday afternoon, prompting people to view it in hopes of gathering more evidence about the shooting. No one else was injured in the incident. The eight-second video shows a crowd on the sidewalk followed by people running and the sound of seven gunshots. Investigators are also gathering security camera footage from surrounding businesses in hopes that they recorded the incident as well.

19th Street and Steele Street Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of road riddled with holeyness, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

CORRECTION

In our March 21 edition, the Tacoma Weekly reported that Metro Parks leveraged its current bond with $54 million in additional dollars and that the bond proposal would cost about $8 per month for the average homeowner for the next 10 years. Metro Parks was actually able to leverage an additional $57 million in grants and other money from the last bond. The $198 million proposed parks bond set for voters on April 22 will cost an average of $8 a month during the life of the bond and that timeline is determined by the issuance schedule of the bonds themselves. We apologize for this error.

Artists Chelsea O’Sullivan and Diana Leigh Surma have been commissioned to create murals that will bring life to this longstanding vacant building, activate the intersection, prevent vandalism, and foster creativity in our community. Artist Chelsea O’ Sullivan is creating a long mural on a series of 10 large panels running down South 11th Street. The piece is titled “Turn on Spring� to which she states: “Early spring in Tacoma can be a little gray. It rains, a lot. It is chilly. Driving into town is always beautiful but where the city skyline meets with the clouds, they share the same hue and fade into one another. My goal is to capture the beauty that lives in this gray world and explode some color into it.� On Market Street, artist Diana Leigh Surma is painting “Show Your Stripes,� an intricately laid out design of abstract geometric shapes. Diana comments that this project “celebrates the revitalization of Tacoma’s bustling downtown corridor and encourages youth participation in the arts. The design incorporates bold colors and overlapping planes that

stretch across the mural’s surface to create a unified composition. Like the networks of shapes that shift before the viewer’s eyes Tacoma is a city constantly transforming and reinventing itself. However, the roots of its history and traditions, its stripes, stand to remind us of what came before.� These new murals are part of the 11th round of Artscapes exhibitions brought to you by Spaceworks Tacoma. Over the course of the program, 84 large-scale art installations, murals, and videos, along with performances and events have taken place in vacant storefronts throughout downtown Tacoma. This round of Artscapes applications were reviewed in October by a talented and devoted selection panel of: Kyle Dillehay, Art Instructor at Tacoma Community College; Dane Meyer, Dane Gregory Meyer Photography and Tacoma Arts Commissioner; Naomi Strom-Avila, Cultural Arts Specialist for the Tacoma Arts Program; and Frank Terrill, Artifact Restorer and Senior Engineer at the Tacoma Planning & Development Services Division. Over the course of the program Spaceworks has partnered with University of Washington Tacoma, AT & T, Power Property Consultants, A Street Associates LLC, Paul Okner, The Marie T. Wilson Trust, Bristol Equities, Steve Shaub, Pioneer Health Services, LinMar Managerment, Lee Noble,Tim Johnson, The Chambers Family, George and Al Howe, Neil Walter Company, Eric Cedarstrand, Simon & Johnson LLC, Seven Seventeen Investors LLC., and has received funding from the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, the City of Tacoma, the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Americans for the Arts and Ovation TV.

SERIAL ROBBER MAY BE HIDING IN TACOMA By David Rose Correspondent

A Washington’s Most Wanted fugitive accused of being a serial robber is believed to be hiding in Tacoma. Pierce County detectives say they got dozens of Crime Stoppers tips from Washington’s Most Wanted viewers DAVID ROSE identifying Joseph Smith after surveillance photos aired in February. Now, investigators need help finding him. Smith has four felony warrants for robbery and theft. Detectives say he robbed the Key Bank in Spanaway, the Twin Star Credit Union in Parkland and stole money from

the till at a Denny’s Restaurant. During the last theft he was wearing a white headband. Detectives say he frequently wears bandanas and prescription glasses. “This is a guy who’s robbed multiple banks and we believe he`s going to continue to do it and usually they’re supplying a drug habit or something like that,� said Pierce County sheriff ’s detective Ed Troyer. “So not only are they addicted to medicine, they’re fueling that funding by robbing banks which terrifies bank tellers sometimes, so we definitely want to get this guy off the streets.� Joseph Smith is 49-years-old and detectives say he is most likely couch surfing in Tacoma. If you can tell them where to find him, call an anonymous tip in to: CRIME STOPPERS: 1-800-222-TIPS.

STRICKLAND LAUDS WORK TOWARD

CREATION OF ‘TACOMA 2.0’ By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

M

ayor Marilyn Strickland noted the decades of successes found around Tacoma as a way to prepare the city for the next round of changes in the works that will launch the City of Destiny into the upper echelon of municipal areas around the country. The verbal back-slapping and goal-setting fest came during her 45-minute State of the City address during a sold out event of about 250 people last week at Hotel Murano, sponsored by the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce. Dubbed “Tacoma 2.0,� Strickland’s address touched on economic development, Tacoma’s regional and national presence, education, and her youth summer employment program SummerJobs253. “The dictionary definition of 2.0 is ‘to denote a superior or more advanced version of an original concept.’ In short, 2.0 is a better version,� Strickland said. “Tacoma 2.0 challenges all of us to do heavy lifting to advance this great city.� Many efforts have already

lifted the city to what it is today. For example, visionaries at the Port of Tacoma made the city an international hub, while Tacoma Schools has increased its graduation rate from 55 percent to 75 percent in just the last four years. Higher education leaders have made Tacoma home to a collection of four-year and community and technical colleges that are the envy of other cities for preparing students for needs of local industries. The work of arts boosters and philanthropists gave rise to world-class museums, arts events and performance venues. All of these efforts required community visions and partnerships. That collaborative spirit will have to continue to move the city forward, according to Strickland. “We do not have the luxury to be divided about anything,� she said. Strickland then laid out four pillars that everyone could support: job growth, infrastructure, education and profile. Successes on those fronts can be found at State Farm’s decision to land its regional headquarters downtown; the rising graduation rate in Tacoma schools and the launch of SummerJobs253, a job X See TACOMA / page A6

After being caught with a number of items under his jacket, the man admitted to trying to steal the items to give as gifts to his significant other, though a pack of NASCAR trading cards was specifically for him. Empty packages and half-eaten food were discovered in the man’s cart, and the total amount of items he attempted to steal was valued at $749.19. The suspect was then booked into the Fife Jail for third-degree theft. Stores normally have signs indicating whether or not they accept EBT cards, but a general rule of thumb is that bars aren’t on the “okay� list. A woman learned this the hard way after tallying a $71 bill on March 19 at Harmon Brewery. When she discovered her EBT card couldn’t cover her bill, she decided to make a run for it before being caught by the brewery owner. When police arrived, her only defense was that she had recently been making some poor life decisions. The woman was booked into Pierce County Jail for theft. Compiled by Derek Shuck

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 3,300 people

– 74 percent of whom are non-Native. Working in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities, these employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2012, the Tribe spent over $445 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. Even during the recession, the Tribe increased employment and funded substantial vendor purchases and construction projects,

keeping many businesses afloat and people employed. As the country continues to recover from past economic woes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians leads the way locally. From sponsoring dozens of local charities, nonprofit 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 health care, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its well-deserved reputation as “the generous people,� a reflection of the meaning of the Tribe’s very name.

During hatchery releases and high flow events, personnel remain onsite through the night to clear the trap of debris and to keep fish from overcrowding. Salmonids collected in the trap are identified by species, measured for length and checked for hatchery or wild origin. After this short sampling period, they are released back into the river to continue their migration. Data collected from the project is used to estimate juvenile abundance, which provides baseline information to allow managers to meet escapement objectives in the watershed, forecast future returns of hatchery and naturally produced adults and provide critical biological and life history patterns of each species. Data collected in the past 14 years by the Tribe has been, and will continue to be, critical in determining the trends in productivity and evaluating the health of the watershed. The Tribe also plays an active role in improving fish passage and survivability to ensure bountiful returns for tribal and sport fisherman. In 2013, the tribal fisheries staff worked endlessly to monitor and improve fish passage above Mud Mountain dam and through the fish trap A juvenile Chinook salmon with parr marks (characteristic operated by the Army Corps of Engineers in Buckley, vertical bands) captured in the screw trap. Puyallup Tribe operates two of the five hatcheries on the Puyallup River, playing a vital role in salmon restoration and commercial fishing alongside non-tribal facilities. The Tribe conducts the Puyallup River Juvenile Salmonid Production Assessment Project, which began in 2000. The Puyallup Tribal Fisheries Department started the project to estimate juvenile production of native salmonids, with an emphasis on natural Fall Chinook salmon production and survival of hatchery and acclimation pond Chinook. In 2011, a newly constructed trapping platform was put into place on the lower Puyallup at RM 10.6, just upstream of the confluence with the White River. Trap operation begins in early spring (early-February) and continues, when feasible, 24 hours a day, seven days a week until late summer (mid-August). The trap

Washington. The Tribe continues to play an active role in urging the Army Corps of Engineers to meet its obligations to move fish above the dam for spawning and improve passage to lessen an unacceptable mortality rate at the fish trap due to the trap’s outdated design and capacity. In addition to the Tribe’s innovative hatchery operations and work to improve fish passage, in 2013 the Tribe constructed an acclimation pond on private land in Clearwater to provide for spring Chinook runs and should see its first fish in the spring.

“This project fills a production hole we’ve had since the road washed away in 2009,� said Russ Ladley, resource protection manager for the Tribe. The Tribe’s hatchery is key in providing spring Chinook runs for tribal and non-tribal fishermen on the Puyallup River. In 2014, the Tribe plans to construct an additional acclimation pond that will hold steelhead. With successful completion of the acclimation pond, the Tribe will be the only entity producing and rearing 50,000 steelhead in the watershed.

)**)-, ), Indian people pay taxes. They pay most of the same taxes non-Indians pay, and in some cases additional Tribal taxes as well. Indians have a few tax exemptions, just as non-Indians do. The Puyallup Tribe and its members are dramatic examples of these realities. Indian tribes collect taxes that are then sent to the appropriate taxing bodies. The Tribe withholds federal income tax from its employees (who include Puyallup Tribal members, other Indians and non-Indians), and from the per capita payments it makes to its members. As

federal law provides, the Tribe sends that money to the I.R.S., a total of over $43 million in FY 2013. As an employer, the Tribe pays its share of payroll taxes and withholds payroll taxes from its employees, which is then sent to the Social Security Administration and other government agencies. Those taxes added up to over $18 million in FY 2013. Under the terms of agreements with the State of Washington and local governments, the Tribe collects and pays tax funds to those governments, including about $11

million to the State of Washington, and over $300,000 to the City of Fife. Unlike all other governments, non-trust land owned by the Puyallup Tribal government is often subject to state and local property taxes. In 2013, the Puyallup Tribe paid nearly $1 million in property taxes to state and local governments. The total amount in taxes collected, withheld, or paid to the various governments by the Tribe in FY 2013 was over $75 million.

Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Statham. When thinking of masculinity it’s easy to envision over-the-top action heroes as the pinnacle of “manhood.� But what happens when these examples of no-emotion heroes become the picture of masculinity in the real world? How do you refocus masculinity to have a positive impact on the world around you? These are the questions men’s groups across the nation have been asking, and soon it’s a question we’ll be asking here in Tacoma. Men’s Project Coordinator Jonathan Grove and his team at Pacific Lutheran University hope to refocus what it means to be a man in the Tacoma community when they host a town hall meeting about the subject of positive masculinity on April 4, at Lincoln High School. “There’s a list of traits that we see in media; it paints a picture that’s pretty restrictive for guys, particularly for guys trying to figure out who they are in the world,� Grove said. “Being maybe the aggressive, tough guy that never has any feelings – human beings don’t do that very well.� The conversation will discuss topics such why “bad boy� behavior is celebrated while positive masculinity often times is not, as well as what Grove and others believe to be a declining state of men’s involvement in the world. “Men are struggling to find or feel that there is a positive role for them in the community,� Grove said. “Increasingly, men are not taking on a leadership role.� The talk is part of the Healthy Masculinity Action Project, a movement to inform communities about how men can be positive role models in the community.

hall meetings have taken place all over the country. The conversation will be introduced by guest speaker Tony Porter, co-founder of a Call to Men: The Next Generation of Manhood, a group based on New York that works with the image of masculinity in regard to violence against women. “[Porter] will provide the framework for things we may consider; ways for approaching the topic,� Grove said. “As simple as it sounds, it’s not to re-imagine what we mean by good, positive, healthy masculinity.� After the presentation, the community discussion will begin, and Grove hopes people will touch upon everything from what masculinity looks like to who in the community exemplifies positive masculinity. “The purpose of this event is to have a conversation. What does the language look like for what we expect to be good, positive

and preventive [masculinity] for our community and for individuals?� Grove asked. “What does it look like in practice, what does it look like to pass it along, what does it look like to do it? Where are those examples?� The talk is open to anyone who wants to listen and participate; the group is working on getting sign language interpreters and bilingual citizens to interpret the conversation. The talk has been designed from the ground up to serve everyone from 12 to 80. Anyone who has a frame of reference for masculinity is the target demographic, from teenagers to city council members. “Those of us who are working on planning it have approached this as truly a community conversation,� Grove said. The end game of the conversation is to make it a constant discussion point in the community going forward, and to position positive masculinity as a recurring theme in Tacoma. “We want it to sort of become a launch pad rather than a one shot,� Grove said. The meeting will last from 4-8 p.m. Attending the event is free, and food will be served. To get a sense of the resources that will be needed, Grove is asking interested parties to RSVP at mensproj@plu.com.

can roll a cart through the suites, offering juice, sandwiches and pudding – and patients want to eat. Maybe it was a movie that put the image of a chemo treatment suite in my mind. Maybe it was a sketchy description, but I’d imagined a more utilitarian space filled with rows of people, some reading, some watching television on a chairside monitor, all dripping to the rhythm of infusion pumps. The reality is a merrier hallway lined with rooms in which cancer fighters settle into oversized recliners. Any one of us can bring a friend, and all of us can choose the privacy of cubicle curtains or the possibility of a view. We can see Wright Park, if we stand up, and we can count the spires and turrets on schools and churches. On a fine day, Mount Rainier jumps right into the sightline from The Mountain Suite. The Zen Suite would be where we’d likely find the Dalai Lama and his friend, Richard Gere, should they happen to be in town together. Be kind, those two would tell us. Be nice. That’s where your strength lies. That, too, is where I’ve been finding strength, shared by this team of cancer fighters, from the honu on the walls to the mountain in our view, to the medical team by our side.

TACOMA SCHOOLS EARN AWARD FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION The Washington State Board of Education awarded three Tacoma elementary schools – Northeast Tacoma, Point Defiance and Sheridan – with the state’s first-ever English Language Acquisition Award. The TPS schools, three of 42 statewide, were recognized for their English Language Learners (ELLs) making the greatest progress toward the goal of becoming proficient in English, which is a stepping stone to academic achievement and careerand college-readiness.

“We work hard to understand the needs of our nonEnglish-speaking students, and we offer them lessons that match their English abilities while maintaining respect for their native language and heritage,� said Minh-Anh Hodge, ELL department director. “This award reinforces the district’s commitment to rigorous ELL staff training and the strides they have made in engaging and supporting students on their path to learning the English language.� ELL students are the fastest growing subgroup

in Washington classrooms. TPS is no different. As of March 2014, the district teaches 2,564 ELL students, an increase of 138 from last year. Among this group of ELLs, 766 are newly enrolled. During the 2012-13 school year, 594 ELLs met state-established English proficiency criteria and exited the program. Of TPS’ nearly 29,000 students, 8.8 percent of them are in ELL programs, which are taught at 22 elementary schools, four middle schools and all five comprehensive high

schools. Sheridan Elementary enrolls 196 ELL students, which represents 38 percent of the total school population, the largest in the district. Here’s a breakdown of the native languages spoken by TPS ELL students in 2014: Arabic: (75), Cambodian (210), Korean (21), Laotian (12), Moldavian (27), Russian (150), Samoan (133), Spanish (1,353), Tagalog (36), Ukrainian (58), Vietnamese (335), other (154). ELL students were assessed on the Washington English Language

Proficiency Assessment (WELPA) in nearly 1,700 schools across the state. The award recognizes approximately the top five percent of elementary, middle and high schools (who have assessed 20 or more students) based on the school’s median point gain on the 2012-13 WELPA. Award-winning schools

must also have met 201213 Annual Measurable Achievement Objective (AMAO) 1 and AMAO 2 federal accountability targets. There are two award categories based on the number of students who took the WELPA, small programs (20 to 99 students) and large programs (100 plus students).

That said, failures to provide proper mass transit and street repairs remain stumbling blocks between the Tacoma of today and the Tacoma everyone wants it to be in the future. She called them the elephants in the room, pointing out potholes specifically and the failure, because of strong opposition from business groups, of Proposition 1 that would

raise utility taxes to fund road repairs. “We have to find a way to get to ‘yes,’� she said, noting that business, labor and government leaders championed the completion of State Route 167 to link the tideflats to the warehouse hubs found in the Puyallup Valley and could do the same in Olympia to champion street repairs. Through collaborations like this, Tacoma could better leverage its strategic position equidistant between Seattle and Portland, which puts it at the heart of one of the most dynamic regions of the country. “We have to raise our profile but more importantly, it is time to raise our standards,� she said.

With the 2013 4A State Tournament still a fresh memory, look for the Lady Lions to make a serious run at a return trip this year. Coach Craig Coovert saw five players graduate last year, but still returns probably the most experienced and talented squad in Tacoma this season. Bellarmine is led by alleverything senior Courtney Schwan, a firstteam all-Narrows selection and former league MVP. Junior Becca Sorensen was a first-team selection and plays possibly the best second base in the Narrows. Sophomore first-teamer Alyssa McKiernan looks to improve upon her surprising breakout freshman season. Look for a big season from Celine Woo after a hot streak at the plate to end last season. Newcomers Charlotte James and McKenzie Schwan will be counted on to play like veterans if the Lady Lions are to repeat their dominance again.

WILSON LADY RAMS

CLAIRE MARTIN – BELLARMINE

Coach Ron Balmer and the Lady Rams have their work cut out for them this season. After making a run into the District Playoffs last season, several top players have graduated. To make matters more difficult, this season’s turnout was lower than hoped for at Wilson. Still, Balmer’s squad returns 3-time All-Narrows senior shortstop Darian Grimm to the diamond along with talented junior second base Adriana Lanz. The team could see a significant boost if senior pitcher Stephanie Granger is cleared to play by the WIAA soon. Look for freshmen Kately Kass and Kayla Washington to step-up this season.

The Lady Abes suffered through a rough 2013 season with just two wins and are looking to reverse the losing trend. Lincoln returns several talented players including seniors Victoria Nuon, Heidi Leeper, Maryelle Montez, Yoselin Maldonado and juniors Viane Tran and Kayla “Salt” Aronhalt. Keep an eye out for junior Deona Owens and some surprising freshmen. “We are a strong-minded team that is focused on improving with every game,” said Knittel. “We pride ourselves on discipline, integrity and by having a winning team attitude.”

There were even a few sun breaks during the round, followed quickly by torrential rain squalls of course.

LOGGERS TAKE TWO FROM LUTES IN WILD TRIPLEHEADER

The new spring sun was popping out from time-to-time and a semblance of warmth greeted a nice crowd for a weekend of baseball March 22, at Pacific Lutheran University. On tap was a Saturday doubleheader against University of Puget Sound, followed by a Sunday tilt to close the series against the Loggers. The long-time cross-town and conference rivals spent the better part of eleven hours working out their differences on the diamond over three games and each contest had its own flavor. In the first game, UPS capitalized on a wild-pitch to break a 0-0 tie in the fifteenth inning claiming the victory 2-0. The second game saw PLU take an early 2-0 lead only to surrender 12 runs in innings 4 thru 6 and suffer a 15-6 blowout loss. The Lutes bounced back in the final game behind a solid pitching performance, holding off the Loggers at the end for a 5-4 win. UPS (5-4 NWC, 7-10 overall) found itself closer to the bottom than to the top of the Northwest Conference baseball standings

prior to the weekend. PLU (8-3 NWC, 13-7) sat comfortably in second-place behind NCAA Div III #1 ranked Linfield. The Lutes remained in second after going 1-2 against the Loggers; however UPS was able to move up one spot to fifth in the NWC Standings and had just one more loss than the Lutes. In the marathon first game PLU rolled out ace pitcher Trevor Lubking to the mound. The junior hurler entered the game leading the NCAA D-III in strikeouts; and he didn’t disappoint ringing up his third-straight double-digit strikeout performance with 13 in 8.1 innings of shutout work. UPS countered with their big gun; 6-4 junior Steve Wagar who pitched an equally impressive 8.1 scoreless innings and five strikeouts. Wagar’s performance, coupled with an appearance earlier in the week against St. Martins would earn him NWC Pitcher of the Week honors. The game lasted four hours and three minutes and the squads left a combined 29 players on base. Three runners were taggedout at home plate, and it took a Cory Nelson wild pitch past Lute catcher Curtis Wildung to

bring in the Loggers’ JB Early from third-base for the deciding run. Next up, senior first baseman Curtis Carter smoked a deep double adding an insurance run scoring junior centerfielder Connor Savage. UPS wins game one 2-0. “Everybody in the dugout did a real good job staying focused and in the game,â€? said Puget Sound’s Carter about the extended contest. “They’re a great team so whenever you can take one from the Lutes it always feels good‌ Especially with Lubking on the mound. He’s a great pitcher. He really knows how to spot up and throw all of his pitches for strikes. That was a big deal.â€? It was a tough loss for any team to take after such a long battle, and PLU didn’t look like they were ready to bounce back from it. “It was a little deflating,â€? said Lutes head coach Geoff Loomis. “Puget Sound has a good squad and they definitely had a lot of momentum going into game two after that big win in game one. If that first game goes our way it could have been our momentum.â€? In game two, the Lutes used

some clutch-hitting and took advantage of UPS throwing errors for a run in the first and third innings. UPS worked the base paths in the fourth, turning four hits and two walks into a fourrun inning and a 4-2 lead. PLU answered in their fourth with a home run over the right field wall by Wildung to close within one run at 4-3. UPS scored a run in the fifth and erupted for seven runs in the sixth and the rout was on at 12-3 UPS. The game was postponed in the eighth inning due to darkness and was continued the following day prior to game three. UPS added a homer from Jeff Walton in the eighth and two more runs in the ninth for the 15-6 victory. PLU was able to put the drawn-out, two-day loss quickly behind them in game three. Junior pitcher Chris Bishop took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and the Lutes had a 3-0 lead. The Loggers scored one in the sixth on an RBI single by Lucas Stone scoring Connor Savage. PLU responded with two more runs in the bottom of the sixth to move further ahead 5-1. The Loggers scored three runs on clutch two-out hitting in the

eighth inning and the memories of the extra-innings the day prior began to stir with PLU clinging to a 5-4 advantage. Lutes closer AJ Konopaski made short-work of the Loggers in the ninth inning earning his ninth save of the season recording three straight outs on just eight pitches. Lutes avoid the sweet with the 5-4 win. “We bounced back really strong,� said Loomis. “We wanted to keep ourselves in this league race and we really needed to win game three to keep that going.� Loggers head coach Brian Billings was pleased with his teams weekend run but was already looking forward. “I’m really happy with the way we pitched this weekend and some of our hitters really broke out,� Billings said. “Any time you can throw a 15 inning shutout, you have to be happy with that. “We played pretty well against a good baseball team. Of course we’re happy taking the series on the road against our cross-town rival but we’ve got to turn the page and get ready for Linfield now.�

The 4th quarter financial report, released this week by County Executive Pat McCarthy, showed operating revenues increased more than $1 million over the prior year, a gain of 23 percent. “Golfers are coming from other states and other countries to play

one of the few municipal courses in the nation that was selected to challenge the best players in the world,� Executive McCarthy said. “This is an extraordinary opportunity for our region, and the best is yet to come. We have heard from other U.S. Open sites that we can expect incredible amounts of attention in the coming years. We’ll be ready.� Here are other highlights from the 2013 report as compared to the previous year:

STADIUM LADY TIGERS

Another new coach dropping the “Interim� from last year is Stadium’s Bridgette Walker who took over the squad near the end of the season in 2013. Stadium had a great turnout this spring and has a talented group of players returning looking to improve on the Lady Tigers’ two victories of last year. Walker will lean on veteran infielders Patricia Hultman and Isabel Chapman to shore up the defense and experienced pitchers Kylie Lensegrav and Sydney Rogers to keep opposition batters off the bases. Sophomores Allyssa Young and Brianna Lamb are solid starters and look for freshmen Emery Norwood and Rika Linman to make an immediate impact.

FOSS LADY FALCONS

Coach Carlena Stroud looks to make some moves in the 3A Narrows standings this year. With seven returning players from last year the Lady Falcons have their sights set on topping the squad’s five victories of 2013. First-team all-Narrows sophomore infield-

Sophomore pitcher Jen Brooks is a force from upon the mound and behind the plate (.646 BA). Keep an eye out for Isabella Thomas at third base. The 8th grader has some talent.

FIFE LADY TROJANS

Fife returns eight seniors from the 2013 SPSL 2A champion squad that went 21-5 and made it to the quarterfinals of the State 2A Tournament. Coach Michelle Nixon is expecting an even better outcome this year. Senior shortstop Angela Leingang returns following her SPSL MVP season along with six other teammates who were selected either first or second-team all-league. “This is my third season with Fife fastpitch and these seniors started this journey with me,� said Nixon. “So I have a bit of an emotional tie with them. They are all wonderful girls and great leaders on and off the field.� One key position Nixon must fill is the departure of Mackenzie Bourbanis who is now playing at Portland State.

United States Golf Association will conduct its national championship, the U.S. Open, at Chambers Bay in June 2015. “Thanks to the golf course, thousands of people enjoy the trail, meadows, beach, playground and dog park,� the Executive said. “Chambers Bay truly is a community gem, and we’re taking good care of it.� More information about the golf course is available at www. chambersbaygolf.com.

Local Restaurants ASIAN TERIYAKI OFFERS EASTERN FUSION DELICIOUSNESS By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

R

esidents on 64th Street may have noticed a recent change in the neighborhood, with brand new Asian fusion restaurant Asian Teriyaki replacing Hong Kong Lui’s. While Asian Teriyaki may sound limited in scope, the restaurant actually offers a wide array of all things eastern. “We’re much more than just Asian teriyaki,� said Ken Baker, who owns the restaurant with his wife Hyong Baker. The restaurant combines a blast of Asian fusion from all over the east, including Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese foods. Everything from southeastern cuisine like fresh spring rolls to egg rolls to, yes, traditional teriyaki can be found at the new restaurant, and all of it is made with care. “[Hyong] insures it’s done right,� Ken said. “She pushes the [employees] to make sure everything is just right.� Asian Teriyaki opened last January, replacing Hong Kong Lui’s location at 759 S. 64th St. “We were very fortunate this facility was available,�

Ken said of the location, which has been the location for several teriyaki restaurants over the past several years, which made all the amenities of a restaurant already present. “We didn’t have to start from scratch; we didn’t have to build something from the ground up,� Ken said. The building is the perfect location for a walk-in, family owned diner with a great atmosphere, in an area where sit down restaurants are difficult to find. “My wife takes pride in the product she puts out,� Ken said. Asian Teriyaki’s “secret weapon� resides in the form of Hyong’s sweet and sour sauce, which she learned in Korea and refined with experience of years working in teriyaki restaurants all around the country. Although the Baker’s pride themselves on creating a unique Asian fusion menu, they have made sure to retain some of the more popular items from Hong Kong Lui’s. Asian Teriyaki is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m, offering both take out and sit down dining.

now being done by the city manager with approval from the city council, which has the mayor voting as one of the nine members as well as chairing the council meetings. “Most people believe the mayor controls the city, but it really is the city manager because the mayor has no authority,� said Adrian S. Kwiatkowski, president of The Strong Mayor-Council Institute, which advises cities about matters of local governance. Kwiatkowski reviewed Tacoma’s charter and council make-up and offered his opinions on a few items that he found unusual. While people often believe that having more council members representing a city makes the council more accountable, he said that the opposite is often true because individual council members have only one vote against the remaining eight members. Toss in the fact that coun-

cil members are limited to two terms, and Tacoma has a constant turnover of elected representatives that stymies progress while newer council members catch up on important issues, or defer to other members, which negates the political need for the council position. “No one has the bully pulpit,� Kwiatkowski said. “Then you have government by committee, which is the worst option.� The Charter Review Committee is pondering two options for changes to the role of Tacoma’s mayor that will be used to craft Tacoma’s charter change recommendations. One mimics the City of Spokane’s charter, which has the mayor appointing a Chief Administrative Officer directly, without council approval. The National Civil League offers a second option, which has the mayor nominating a CAO and department heads who must then be confirmed by the City Council. The city’s CAO would then assist the mayor in drafting a budget, policy changes and capital improvement

plans. Both options would empower a mayor to veto council ordinances, to offer a “state of the city� address, to be directly elected to be the Chief Executive Officer of the city, to draft budgets and to directly remove department heads. The issue has been bubbling for years, including an initiative effort following the last charter review in 2004 that failed to gain enough signatures to be put on a ballot.

THOUGHTS OF CHARTER CHANGES

Tacoma Weekly emailed a simple question to every member of the Tacoma City Council to determine their thoughts on how they will view the Charter Review Committee’s roster of recommendations that they will have to decide which will face voters. The question was: “What is your litmus test for approving the recommendations for a public vote? Is it, for example, a known fix to a known problem or can it be more of an endorsement to a public vote to let the citizens decide after the committee created its list of recommendations or could it even be more populist than that by just allowing the voters to decide on any recommendation.� /,9, (9, ;/, 9,:765:,: WE RECEIVED:

“For items that are ‘housekeeping’ in nature (e.g. spelling, or making gender neutral, or updating language to current usage), I would like to see straightup rationale for making a change or tweak. “For items that might want to change the procedure aspects of the Charter, then I would like to see examples of how the current wording or process has not fulfilled the vision or intent of the Charter (e.g. the ‘delay’ in time from a City Council Meeting Resolution to the time it becomes statute - the ‘WalMart’ delay from the Tuesday night until the Thursday publication in the Daily Record).

“For items that are looking to actually change the structure of the government - to me - there needs to be documentation of the failings of the current form since the last Charter Review AND that there is considerable savings of revenue in going to a different process as it is far more efficient than the current system (I have seen the current system work well and not work as well - and it doesn’t seem to the be the ‘system’ as much as the accountability of those who are elected within the system).� – David Boe “I would hope that recommendations sent to the council would come with a strong recommendation from the charter review committee. Then we would need to review the recommendations and carefully consider before sending them to voters. “I think known fixes that voters really just should pass could be forwarded with a recommendation. (housekeeping items to keep up with model ordinances, language changes that don’t have substantive changes) “Other items may be sent with a recommendation from council, without any recommendation and I could see a possibility where we could send an item with a council recommendation of a no vote. “It will depend on how it is forwarded to us, the support it has from the charter committee and the procedure decided upon.� – Marty Campbell “Personally, I don’t think it’s my place to set a ‘threshold.’ I’m not any smarter than the voters of Tacoma. We appointed these citizen volunteers for a reason. If they come up with a recommendation that they believe the people have a right to decide on, who am I to stand in their way? That’s just how democracy is supposed to work.� – Anders Ibsen “When it comes to the

recommendations of the Charter Review Committee, I don’t have a litmus test per se. Together with my colleagues, I will review the recommendations and the process including the public input and make a determination on forwarding them on to the ballot. I am certain there will be several items that are housekeeping in nature. These will be necessary to allow the charter to keep with the changing times. Because of the balances in place, these will have to be forwarded to the voters and approved to be changed. Other items that may come forward will likely garner a little more scrutiny from the council and debate about the merits of forwarding them or not. I look forward to the process and I am eager to see the results of the Charter Review Committee’s work.� – Joe Lonergan “I am open to any and all recommendations that come from the Charter Review Commission and will seek to understand the rationale behind all of their recommendations when they are presented to the full Council. As I have expressed to the Committee when I provided comments at their meeting in February, I am particularly interested in their recommendations around increasing the level of transparency and accountability to the public of the operations of all facets of the City of Tacoma. When spending public dollars and making policy decisions on anything from police and fire service to streets and transportation systems to the six utilities the City runs that make our lives more convenient and healthy, and every other service, the public deserves full transparency, accountability and a great return on their public investment. In our democratic form of government, citizens rightly hold publicly elected officials accountable for public spending and policy decisions. I believe, and have expressed to the Charter Review Committee, that

the City Charter must have adequate provisions to ensure two fundamental things 1) transparency in all of the business of the city so that there is trust and confidence in the dealings of the city and 2) that the public is able to hold elected representatives accountable for spending and policy decisions that are made across all areas of the City of Tacoma’s government.� – Ryan N. Mello “The City Council has the authority to put forward potential charter changes to the vote of the people at any time before, during or after charter review cycles. A formal review of the entire charter by an appointed or elected charter review committee must take place at least every 10 years. I expect the committee to provide a thorough analysis of both pros and cons of issues forwarded to the council for consideration. I have no litmus test when it comes to deciding which recommendations should be put before the voters, although I will ask some questions including: 1. Does the current practice allow us to meet or exceed our long-term strategic goals and objectives? 2. Does the current practice hinder the city’s progress? 3. Does the current practice restrict us from leveraging our assets? 4. Is the current practice detrimental to the residents of Tacoma? 5. Is making a change to the charter the only sustainable way to solve the problem? I look forward to the recommendations from the committee and hearing from the residents of Tacoma as we carefully deliberate the issues. We all want Tacoma to be its best.� – Mayor Marilyn Strickland Council members Lauren Walker, Victoria Woodards and Robert Thoms did not respond to several attempts for comment.

Tacoma Hangouts host Gray Sky Blues Music Festival

CLASSIC. Blues Fans dance and party at the Gray Sky Blues Music festival in 2013. Events

coordinator Gary Grape has kept the original format of the festival in order to replicate previous years successes. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

T

he changing season means more than just a shift in sports and sunshine. For thousands of people, spring means it’s time for festivals, and Tacoma is getting a jump on the competition with the annual Gray Sky Blues Music Festival happening April 5 at The Swiss Restaurant and Pub, The Harmon Brewery and Stonegate Pizza and Bar. The festival starts at 1 p.m. that Saturday immediately after the Daffodil Parade and continues all the way through 1 a.m. Sunday morning. “I can always get great musicians because the Pacific Northwest is loaded with them,” Gary Grape, director of events for the Tacoma Events Commission, said. Cee Cee James will headline the festival at the Swiss Restaurant and Pub at 6 p.m. James made waves in 2013 when she won “Song of the Year” from Blues Blast Magazine for “I Gotta Right To Sing the Blues.” Born in the Pacific Northwest, James moved to Nashville where she took the scene by storm. This year’s Gray Sky Blues Music Festival marks her homecoming to the Pacific Northwest. Along with best song, James was recognized as the “Best Foreign Singer” in Poland and was awarded a “Top Ten Song” award from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. With the nickname “The Vocal Volcano,” James delivers roots rock, blues and soul with a vocal kick. Opening for James is the Arthur Migliazza Trio. Migliazza is a long time piano player who takes cues from classic pianists such as Otis Spann, Champion Jack Dupree, Jimmy Yancey, Professor Longhair, James Booker, Jay McShann and Katie Webster. Throughout his career, Migliazza has earned several awards including being inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame in 2010, and being a finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis this year. The Arthur Migliazza trio will take the stage at The Swiss at 4 p.m. The Cody Rentas Band kicks The Swiss into gear at 1 p.m. Rentas is a 21-year-old artist who

has been a staple of the Tacoma music scene since 2008. Taking cues from performers like Santana and Stevie Ray, Rentas excited crowds with his electric personality and mix of new and old school jams. “He’s pretty much a seasoned pro now, I’m not thinking of him as a kid,” Grape said. One of the youngest stars at the festival is 16-year-old Nolan Garrett, a guitarist, singer and songwriter who has been playing in the Tacoma scene for the last four years. With influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer, to Alice In Chains and The Black Keys, Garrett has become a rising star and will be playing at the Harmon Brewery at 4:30 p.m. “When you see Nolan Garrett, he’s not just playing to you, he’s putting on a show,” Grape said. “One of these days, I won’t be able to touch that kid; he’s destined to be a star.” Opening for Garrett is Colorado resident Jack Gaffney, another young singer-songwriter who was chosen by the South Sound Blues Association to perform at the festival, after winning a youth showcase in Nashville. Gaffney has been involved in the music scene since he was a child, releasing his first album when he was 12 years old, produced by influence and mentor Carter Pann, a Grammy award winning classical composer. Gaffney will take that stage at Harmon Brewery at 3:45 p.m. But the Gray Sky Blues Music Festival isn’t just a young person’s game. Seasoned vet Mark Riley will take the stage with The Mark Riley Trio at The Harmon Brewery at 1. Described as roots rock and blues to heal the soul, Riley brings a nice counterpoint to the younger performers with his wealth of experience. The festival will close at Stonegate Pizza with a 21-and-over after-hours party at 8:30 p.m. starting with live blues upstairs in the loft with Steve Cooley and the Dangerfields. Starting at 10 p.m. downstairs, listen to great blues with Junction 61-49.

TACOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY FINDS PERMANENT HOME

A

mong the biggest fundraisers for the nonprofit Tacoma Historical Society is its annual Historic Homes Tour, which visits many of the city’s most storied structures each May. This year, treasurer Deb Freedman is ecstatic about one stop in particular: 919 Pacific Ave., a space located inside the 111-year-old Provident Building. Without a sustainable headquarters for much of its 25 years, the Historical Society recently claimed two adjacent suites in that building as its permanent home. The new space opened to the public on Thursday, March 27. “So it’s appropriate to have it on the Homes Tour, I think,” Freedman said. “I’m excited about that.” It’s the Historical Society’s second stop downtown after a setback five years ago. In 2006, the group opened an exhibit space on Tacoma’s Antique Row, at 747 Broadway. But that venue closed in 2009, a casualty of a

Local Improvement District (L.I.D.) construction project. Tacoma Historical Society president Bill Baarsma, who was still the city’s mayor back then, coyly accepts part of the blame. “Everything was kind of going well until the L.I.D. was put into affect, and Broadway was shut down,” Baarsma recalled. “People couldn’t get to the exhibit center. We couldn’t host tours because people couldn’t find us. Our retail sales plummeted and, as a result, we had to close the exhibit center and lay off our one staff person.” Since then, the group has operated out of a shoddy office space located at 3712 Cedar St., across the parking lot from Tacoma Goodwill. Much of its collection has been stored in an old warehouse near the Murray Morgan Bridge. All the while, organizers looked to upgrade to a better space they hoped would improve their visibility and accommodate their growing collection of artifacts. Among the locations the group contemplated were Engine House No. 4, near the LeMay Museum, and a space inside the

old Federal Building, currently being renovated at Ninth and A streets. But most options were impractical or out of the Historical Society’s price range. The space in the Provident Building was brought to the group’s attention in January. The price, location and – perhaps most of all – its 3,100 square feet of retail and storage space are perfect for the society’s needs. “We’ve searched and searched, and it’s a dream come true,” Baarsma said. “It’s everything we’ve been looking for.” The first exhibit on display in the new retail space is “Out of the Attic: Curiosities from the Collection of Tacoma Historical Society,” featuring various items the group has rescued from oblivion. “We are between Tacoma’s treasures and archives and the landfill, to a large degree,” Baarsma said. “We’re the stopping-off point. I just can’t imagine the Tacoma Historical Society not being in existence, frankly.” Learn more by calling (253) 472-3732 or visiting TacomaHistory.org.

Museum of Glass

T

his year marks the centenary of the beginning of the conflagration of World War I. In observation of this fact, Handforth Gallery – housed inside the main branch of the Tacoma Public Library – is currently exhibiting the library’s collection of WWI propaganda posters. Entitled “Defending America’s Freedom: It’s Everybody’s Job!” the exhibit consists of posters collected by John B. Kaiser who served as library director from 1914 through 1924. There are recruitment posters, exhortations to purchase war bonds, instructional messages and a nice collection of posters encouraging support of and participation in the Red Cross. Soldiers, sailors, nurses and Lady Liberty herself are the heroes of the story told in these images. The villains are the “Huns,” German soldiers portrayed as hunkering brutes with spiked helmets, walrus mustaches and blood on their hands. They drag away Belgian maidens from ruined cities. From the coning towers of their submarines they fire upon poor nurses who were passengers aboard ships that their U-boats have sunk. One poster simply depicts a bloody handprint: “The Hun. His Mark,” the poster says, “Blot it out with Liberty Bonds.” A variety of art media was used in the production of the originals that were commissioned from some of the best artists of the day. Howard Chandler Christy, known for his sensual nudes, has depicted a cute, young woman clad in a sailor’s outfit.

HUN. World War I propaganda posters are on

display at Tacoma Public Library through April 26.

The quick, broad-brush strokes are reminiscent of the style of painters of the ash can school. “Gee I wish I were a man,” reads the poster, “I’d join the Navy…” Gordon Grant’s Red Cross poster, “What are you doing to help?” looks like it was originally done in charcoal. A nurse standing beside a wounded soldier is reaching out to the viewer. The Red Cross was branded as the “Great Mother,” who cares for the wounded with its legion of nurses. One rather surreal poster, by Alonzo Earl Foringer, depicts a colossal nurse holding a wounded soldier on his stretcher like the Madonna holding a baby.

York City in flames. German aircraft fly in a burning sky and U-boats are in the harbor. The Statue of Liberty is in ruins; its head has fallen to the ground. The message here is fight the enemy abroad so that we don’t have to fight him at home. This sentiment was echoed by some of the rhetoric that was heard leading up to the invasion of Iraq in the wake of the 911 attacks. This is a show that will appeal to history buffs, art lovers and those interested in advertising and graphic design. Exhibition curator Robert Schuler will give a gallery talk April 5 at 1 p.m. “Defending America’s Freedom” runs through April 26.

Tommy Castro brings new band the Painkillers to Tacoma, Seattle

ay Area bluesman Tommy Castro has had a pretty solid run these last two decades, having released a string of critically acclaimed albums, taken home the prestigious Blues Music Award in 2008 and jammed with some of the biggest names in the genre. But the 58-year-old singer, guitarist and songwriter feels he’s just now hitting his stride with his new backing band, the Painkillers, and his latest collection from Alligator Records, “The Devil You Know.� “I feel like I get better at making records the more I do it,� said Castro, who will headline Tacoma’s Jazzbones on April 4. “I really set out to make a certain kind of an album. I had a certain kind of attitude and a certain kind of a sound I was trying to create, and really worked hard at it.� After years of playing guitar-driven blues, soul and R&B, backed by a tight horn section, Castro decided to strip his supporting cast down to a lean trio in 2012. The Painkillers are drummer David Tucker, keyboard player James Price and bassist Randy McDonald, an original member of the Tommy Castro Band.

“This is the closest thing to just jamming with my friends, just for the sheer joy of playing when we were kids,� Castro said. “It’s back to playing with a little more focus on guitar than in recent years. It’s got a little bit more of a rock edge to things. It’s slightly more contemporary. There’s more interesting drum things happening, rhythms. That was all part of the plan. It’s all kind of working out.� When it came time to record “Devil You Know,� Castro could also call on an all-star cast of friends to make cameos. “Being sort of a regular on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, I get a chance to network and hang out and jam with a lot of musicians,� he said. “Twice a year, I do this cruise. You get a chance to really spend a little time with some of the other players on the scene rather than just hearing them on the occasional set on a festival.� On the new album, guitarist Joe Bonamassa shreds on an updated version of Savoy Brown’s outsider anthem, “I’m Tired.� J. Geils Band’s Magic Dick blows harp on the gritty, rockin’ “Two Steps Forward,� and Tab Benoit adds a bit of Bayou soul to “When I Cross the Mississippi.� Also making appearances are vocalists Samantha Fish and Tasha Taylor and Alligator label mates Marcia Ball and The Holmes

Brothers. “Everybody had a place on this album that made sense,� Castro said. “Like Bonamassa playing on ‘I’m Tired.’ His style on guitar really reminds you of one of those great British, blues-rock players. It’s in that bag, and we were gonna do this song anyway. To put him together with that track, it was the perfect fit. “I had some really talented people involved with me: producer Bonnie Hayes and some of the songwriting partners of mine. Everybody collaborated and helped me to pull together the kind of album I was trying to make; and I think it might be the best thing that we’ve done.� Tommy Castro and the Painkillers will make two stops locally. On April 2, they will headline the Triple Door, 216 Union St., in Seattle. That show will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and is open to all ages. Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 the day of the show; (206) 838-4333 or www.thetripledoor.net for further details. On April 4, Castro and company will headline Jazzbones, 2803 Sixth Ave., in Tacoma. That show will start at 8 p.m., and you have to be 21 or older to enter. Tickets are $15 general admission, $17.50 for reserved balcony seating. For more info, call (253) 396-9169 or visit www.jazzbones.com.

low ticket sales have led to the cancellation of the Fourth of July weekend installment of Sasquatch! Festival The three-day event would have brought Soundgarden, Frank Ocean, New Order and more to Grant County’s Gorge Amphitheatre on July 4, 5 and 6. “The Sasquatch! community has spoken,� read a statement from Live Nation Seattle president Jeff Trisler. “They continue to support the traditional Memorial Day Weekend event with great enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the second weekend was not embraced. We felt it was better to cancel the new event now and give everyone time to make alternative plans for the Fourth of July weekend. Going forward, Sasquatch! Music Festival will be at the Gorge Amphitheatre on the weekend the fans want: Memorial Day Weekend only.� Ticketmaster will refund credit cards used to purchase passes for Fourth of July Weekend, according to Friday’s announcement. Further details are available by calling 1-800-745-3000. The traditional Memorial Day Weekend installment of Sasquatch will go on as planned, from May 23 to 25. The main stage lineup for that one includes reunited hip-hop duo Outkast, The National, Queens of the Stone Age and M.I.A.

S

eattle psychpop outfit the Purrs are headed to Tacoma to share a bill with local favorites Trees and Timber and People Under the Sun on Saturday night at the New Frontier Lounge. Last summer, Fin Records delivered the quartet’s “The Boy with Astronaut Eyes,� among the best regional recordings of 2013. This weekend, the band will showcase a few things they’ve been working on since. Lead guitarist Jason Milne and singer-bassist Jim Antonio, the band’s primary songwriter, checked in to give us the skinny. Here’s some of what they had to say. Tacoma Weekly: You’ve been together for a minute, but I’m a relative newcomer to the band. Antonio: Most people are. TW: How did you guys hook up? Antonio: We formed in the year 2000 via a couple of well-placed ads in The Stranger, and we’ve been playing ever since. Three of the four are original members. Every band has a rotating position, and ours has historically been rhythm guitar. TW: The Spinal Tap thing. Antonio: Yeah, exactly. But lately, we scored a person. (To Milne) What’s her name again? Milne: (Cracks up.) Her name is Liz (guitarist Herrin.) Antonio: She’s been with us for a while. She’s actually from – not Tacoma – but Auburn, so she’s got family and stuff down there. TW: At what point did you realize you had something special? You had to have something that really clicked to stick together for 14 years. Antonio: Well, you would think that. But I know lots of older couples who have been together forever who just hate each other but can’t get a divorce. I’m not exactly sure that’s a good barometer of how special we might be. TW: The Purrs actually hate each other. That’s my lead. Antonio: I wouldn’t say it was special, but I just thought we sounded good. The thing that really kept us together was our shared interests, and we got along with each other. TW: Maybe speak to some of the reference points that went into your sound. Antonio: I wouldn’t say it’s a super unique

set of influences or style choices. It’s just basically been two guitars, bass, drums – as many vocals as possible. We love psychedelic music. A lot of bands use that phrase, and I’m not sure it’s exactly well applied to us, but we often get stuck with that one. Milne: Jim was just writing a ton of songs, too. The styles varied, and what worked with the band at a high rate ended up being developed and recorded. There wasn’t any conscious decision on the sound. TW: Your latest is “The Boy with the Astronaut Eyes.â€? Take me back to the moment that set the tone for that one or established what direction you went in. Milne: It was somewhat random. I think we had about 15 songs we were looking at. At some point, we drew the line and said it’s gonna be these 10. ‌ Once we had those, I think we put a lot of care in the sequencing and what effect that has on listening to the whole album.â€? Antonio: I thought we did a pretty good job with this one. Personally, I really like the last song (“Over and Outâ€?) even though we don’t really play it out so much. (It) kind of ends on an up note. TW: Why don’t you play it? Milne: When “The Boy with Astronaut Eyesâ€? record came out and we were touring, supporting it, we were playing tons of songs off of that. But now we’re trying to get a couple songs here, a couple songs there off of each record. Antonio: And we’re working on new songs. A little less than half the set has been new stuff these days. Jason: We recorded four more new songs with (Seattle producer) Erik Blood. Then we have another batch we’re starting to work on in demo. TW: Tell me about the new songs. Antonio: The last eight or nine songs have been a bit more (upbeat) and there’s a lot of guitar solos, which I just love, actually. ... We’ve got songs with a bit more “poundinessâ€? to them, and some tension in the guitars. TW: Tell me about the new songs that are getting the most response. Antonio: I don’t know about response ‘cause usually we’re playing in front of a bunch of drunk people, and they just clap to whatever. (Milne laughs.) I wouldn’t say we judge our songs based on audience response. It’s not like we don’t care or whatever, but we are going in a direction; and people can either jump on for the ride or not.

TW: For the people who aren’t drunk, what can they listen up for? Milne: I think the three ... that we’ll be playing in Tacoma, are ‘American as Apple Pie.’ Another song is called ‘Late Night Disturbance.’ Jim: “I Really Don’t Need This Nowâ€? is another one. All three of them were, basically, inspired by specific events - kind of. I would say “Late Night Disturbanceâ€? was definitely spun off that whole Cafe Racer massacre that happened (in 2012.) TW: Were you guys regulars there? Jim: No, I had only been there once or twice. It just kind of colored my writing of that song. That’s about the closest thing I can say. Somebody does something, blows up and does a bunch of stupid, horrible, violent (stuff) because they weren’t thinking properly, for whatever reason. “I Really Don’t Need This Nowâ€? was pretty much a song driven by the collapse of my last relationship. You’re trying to deal with some emotional pain and then nitpicky crap that happens every day is piling up on top of it. ... The (freaking) bathtub starts leaking or your phone bill comes. Some miniscule thing hits you at the wrong time. TW: It sounds like there might be a darker thread running through the next collection of songs. Antonio: There might be, but I don’t wanna say that. One of the things I like about our band – and this is what I like about a lot of bands – is you take either horrible noise and say ‘hey hey hey,’ beautiful stuff over the top of it; or you take a really beautiful sound and you say terrible things over the top of it. People always cite Jesus and Mary Chain for doing that type of thing. I think it’s a brilliant move: You take something sonically one way and lyrical imagery that’s completely the other way ‌ I think that’s a pretty honest view of what life is. It’s got really great things right next to really bad things, always at the same time. That’s just the way it goes.
