Rainbow Center, Oasis Youth Center announce new shared location By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

O

n the heels of The Advocate magazine declaring Tacoma to be “America’s Gayest City” this past January, T-Town’s LGBT population is about to get even more solidly established. The Rainbow Center is moving to new digs on busy Pacific Avenue where Chuckal’s Office Products used to be (they’re now at 2209 Pacific Ave.) and will share the space with Oasis Youth Center, marking the first time Oasis will have its own public location in its 28-year history. Current plans are to have the new place open for business by June 1. A new website – www.orctacomaorg – reflects the shared space. On March 25, Rainbow Center and Oasis volunteers and supporters held an informal open house/press conference at the new location, 2215 Pacific Ave., to kick off their Creating Community Campaign. Those in attendance heard about both organizations’ co-location plans and the fundraising strategy now

Craig displays her blue pin of Valor in middle photo and above, Craig shows a young friend the inside of a fire truck.

John Bronson breathes today thanks to chance, a brave teenager and a woman of valor. Last week, Tacoma Fire Chief James Duggan honored Rebecca Thayer-Blunt, 19, with a certificate of commendation for bravery, thanked chance, and pinned the simple blue Valor medal on firefighter Annie Craig’s uniform. It is only the 30th Valor award in the honor’s 35-year history, and it is the first given to a woman. Chance, of course, is tough to pin down for award ceremonies, almost as tough as the crew of Ladder 3. But she got the first round of praise at the awards ceremony in the City Council Chambers. Firefighter Jennifer Gunnel told the story: “We had just gotten done with responding to a false alarm. They sent us down to Owen Beach for a girl with a cut hand. We were looking for the hand injury, and we saw this guy in a canoe,” she said. It was a sunny day, the kind of almost-spring day we want to fool us into thinking that the world is warm again. Among the hundreds the sun drew to the pebbly beach were John Bronson, his fiancé Gina Thayer and their big blended family. They had come for a picnic and some canoe paddling off of Point Defiance. Bronson, 38, was a glazier before his back went out. He carves the sturdy canes he needs when he walks, but he does not think his pain should restrict

the fun his family has. So there they all were at Owen Beach: Thayer’s daughters Savanah, 13, and Rebecca, 19, Thayer-Blunt, and Bronson’s children, Alyssa Blackwell, 13, John Bronson, 7, and Annalisa Bronson, 3. They’d chowed down on lunch beyond the picnic shelter. They’d roamed the shore and explored the bluff. They’d paddled and lazed in the canoe. “All day long we’d used the life vests,” Bronson said. About the time the Ladder 3 crew jumped into their turnouts and responded to the false alarm, Bronson and Thayer started packing up the gear. They were lugging it to their cars when Bronson figured it would be easier to paddle the canoe than carry it to the boat launch by the parking lot. “I didn’t want to get my pants wet, so I sat on the life vests,” he said. That was his lesson in irony for the day. The schooling on the properties of canoes in water followed. “My back started aching, so I moved to the back of the boat. It popped a wheelie. I forgot the physics,” he said. “Rebecca came into the water to help me.” “We looked up and said, ‘Oh, the guy fell out of the canoe,” Gunnel said. At the first, they thought the boater had it handled. He was holding onto the canoe and seemed to be pushing it to shore. They thought he was wearing the required flotation device. Then they saw the life jackets bobbing away from the canoe. Craig ran to the fire truck to get X See FIREFIGHTER / page A4

Pierce County Councilmember Connie Ladenburg thinks that starting council meetings later could boost attendance. The council holds its main meetings on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. at the County/City Building. Ladenburg, who began her first term on the council in January, has proposed changing this to 5 p.m. A primary reason is that many people are working when meetings start and thus cannot attend. Ladenburg first proposed the idea at the council’s annual retreat. She has offered an ordinance, which is being consid-

+V^U[V^U PZ H[^P[[LY V]LY :[H[L -HYT Y\TVYZ The blogosphere is all abuzz and atwitter following local news reports that State Farm is continuing negotiations to lease the Russell Investment building and other Class A spaces nearby to house about 2,000 workers for claims processing. While few folks at the table are talking on the record about the negotiations, word has trickled out since January. The latest news blitz comes after Frank Russell Investments negotiated an early termination of its lease with the building’s owner Ilahie Holdings that took effect in March. That deal frees up the building for a new tenant, or tenants, sooner rather than in the fall, when the original lease was set to run out. Landing a major tenant for the anchor building and some surrounding offices would mean the landmark building would have workers again and downtown restaurants and retailers would see an influx of potential customers during a time when much of nearby Pacific Avenue is under construction.

ered by the Rules and Operations Committee. It consists of Councilmembers Rick Talbert, Joyce McDonald and Stan Flemming. It is scheduled to review the matter at 10 a.m. on April 15, and vote on whether to forward the proposal to the full council. Talbert has co-sponsored the ordinance. When he and Ladenburg served on Tacoma City Council, sometimes that body would postpone deciding on an issue if public comment raised concerns. “It helps us to make better decisions,� Ladenburg remarked. “I think better legislation occurs from public input. How can we represent them without hearing their voice?� If her idea fails to move forward, Ladenburg wants to form

a committee to explore other options to make county government more accessible. One possibility could be telephone town halls, which many state legislators use. A county communications staff person would be a member to offer input. The council is required to hold 50 meetings per year. Seven are held in the council districts around the county and start in the early evening. “I am glad that we go out into the community to reach the people that way,� Ladenburg said, but she noted that a meeting in Bonney Lake is inconvenient for Key Peninsula residents to attend. “Our county is so spread out. It is hard to satisfy everyone.� Holding meetings later would

Pierce County roadsides will get their annual makeover this spring and summer. An initial application of herbicides to combat weeds along road shoulders will start April 8, and continue through June. Targeted noxious weeds and brush control applications will occur through the end of November as needed. Only federal- and state-approved herbicides are used. Workers will also mow, cut brush and trim trees along roads during the spring and summer. The work, which will be carried out weather permitting, is part of Pierce County’s integrated roadside vegetation management program. “Our county roads need to be neat and free of obstacles for the safety of motorists and pedestrians,� said Bruce Wagner, Pierce County Public Works and Utilities road maintenance manager. The annual maintenance also reduces fire danger, optimizes storm water drainage, helps control noxious weeds and non-native plants, and promotes native plant growth.

Ladenburg noted that this is 5/100ths of 1 percent of the total county budget. “Can we justify that extra cost to have open and transparent government?� One concern she has heard from her colleagues is that a later start time could prevent them from attending city councils meetings around the county, which typically start at 7 p.m. on Mondays or Tuesdays. She encourages county residents to call or e-mail their council member to offer feedback on her proposal.

A standoff at a Tacoma motel on April 1 ended with the arrest of a man wanted for a shooting. Laikeem Green is charged with firstdegree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm. The charges stem from an incident that occurred at an apartment complex in Lakewood on March 26. He is accused of shooting another man in a parking lot after an argument. Detectives determined he was staying at Calico Cat Motel, located at 8821 Pacific Ave. Green refused to surrender so a SWAT team was called.

Local Restaurants The Eagles Restaurant and Lounge When the former Oscar’s Restaurant and Lounge was purchased in November by Ballard Management Group, the ownership team had a vision to create improvements that would truly bring the restaurant back to life. Throughout the past 30 years, Oscar’s had developed a strong following so when the new restaurant closed for renovations for two months, customers were left wondering what to make of these changes. But when the Eagles Restaurant and Lounge opened up two months ago, it was clear the ownership is working hard to meet these customers’ needs by providing fresh, high quality food – at reasonable prices. The restaurant’s owners/operators are proactive in learning more about what customers want to see on the menu. Although much of the menu is new, the team retained some of the previous restaurant’s most popular dishes. The owners have recently heard many requests for Oscar’s popular Veal Liver dish, which may end up as a permanent item on the menu. The Eagles specializes in high-quality, fresh food – never frozen and always at a fair price. The restaurant’s owners especially recommend the Filet Mignon, which, at $24, is a great price for a high quality 8-ounce steak. All seafood and meat is prepared fresh in-house, and vegetables and produce are often sourced through local farmers. The restaurant also features private dining rooms and a banquet hall that can accommodate up to 300 people. The sports bar features seven 60-inch televisions, creating

Back in the days of Jetsons cartoons and sci-fi films, the idea of jet cars entered the minds of engineers. While there have been a few demonstrations of concept cars as the decades passed, none have proven successful. But the design has lived on with ground-running crafts with sleek lines and cockpit-style doors even if they never left the road for the skies. Such is the case with the Pulse, designed by Jim Bede, who just so happened to also design the Bede line of airplanes before shifting to the Owasso Motor Co. The Owasso Pulse was actually not a car at all. It was technically defined as a three-wheeled motorcycle with “outriggers� wheels attached to add stability. It seated two people and boasted that it could go 100 miles on a single gallon

of gas through its six-speed Yamaha engine. The tank carried three gallons. The design had the 1,000-pound motorcycle riding on two wheels with the outrigger tires only touching the ground during turns. But unlike motorcycles, the Pulse steered like a traditional car, with clutch, brakes and gas pedal on the floor and a standard steer-

ing wheel. Production of the Pulse began in 1984, but didn’t last long. The last one rolled out of the Michigan plant in 1990, after only 325 cars. Pulse cars turn heads wherever they go and are well sought after by collections, often turning up on auctions for about $30,000.

The Bunny and the Dinosaur rescue Easter for two boys By Kathleen Merryman Kathleen@tacomaweekly.com

There had been a homicide on the edge of Puyallup. One person was dead, another mortally wounded, when Pierce County Sheriff’s Detectives Gary Sanders and Kevin Johnson got a call from Child Protective Services. They weren’t needed to investigate. As co-founders and board members of Charlie’s Dinosaur, they were needed to help the two young boys who lived in the house. Sanders told the story: “It came as a request from CPS. They asked if we could do anything. The boys were taken from the home during a homicide investigation. They didn’t have a whole lot. Because of the circumstances they left under, it was a crime scene, they

were unable to take any of their personal possessions. “We put together a big backpack for each of them because they didn’t have anything of their own. We don’t know if they will ever go back to that house. “They were concerned because Easter was coming up, and they were afraid the Easter Bunny might not come. Their mom had said that they weren’t good enough for the Easter Bunny to come. I know.

Though they are all awful, the deaths of Charlie and Braden Powell at their father’s hand was one of the worst. Who could make sense of a parent murdering his own boys?

During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative,� and in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of road riddled with holiness, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. PHOTO BY KATHLEEN MERRYMAN

same time you do. Then she blew all that advice. On Delta, for whom she makes the skies safe and pleasant as a flight attendant, international travelers get one free checked bag, she told us. It can weigh up to 50 pounds. It can contain the glassmaking tools that Museum of Glass artist Sarah Gilbert posted in a picture on Glasssisters.tumblr. com.

get the most people from where they are to where they want to go, whether by mass transit, by car, bike, foot or, heck, llama carts if the demand requires such a look. A long-range plan looks at traffic flows, growth patterns and employment or commercial hubs, the sort of issues decision makers tasked with routing a light rail line would find helpful. But alas, Tacoma does not have one. And the decision to route a Link expansion is too close to start one now. The rise of new routing ideas, however, has bought a few weeks to ponder such matters. Tacoma City Council has asked Sound Transit to evaluate a “hybrid� route that would take parts of current routes to serve as a “backbone� route for future expansion to other neighborhoods. Those expansions could be part of a third Sound Transit package that could come as early as 2016. This is important because every route under review has its supporters who will feel slighted if their route does not make the final cut. “That’s my problem with this,� Councilmember David Boe said. “It creates winners and losers.� Boe, quite literally, sketched out the idea of his hybrid plan that would include parts of the Portland Avenue route and the Martin Luther King Jr. Way route to solve some of that discontent. This hybrid corridor would extend from the existing station at the Tacoma Dome down East 25th Street to Portland Avenue and head south to East 29th Street for a total span of about 1.7 new miles of track. Another strand of this expansion would run from the Dome station along East 25th St. and cross Pacific Avenue to about Jefferson

Avenue and Center Street, and then take a right onto MLK to 6th Avenue. The exact routes have not been defined, only the end points of Portland on one side and somewhere along MLK on the other. If this 3.3-mile Hilltop neighborhood route, whatever it could be, proves too expensive, the city would settle for ending the route at South 19th or even 11th streets rather than the full run to 6th Avenue. Since this hybrid would add about five miles of new tracks to the current 1.6-mile route through downtown, city officials also want Sound Transit to find “cost saving� ways to reduce the $50 million-per-mile price tag used in estimates. Sound Transit has set the total budget of any Link expansion at $150 million, split three ways among local funding, federal grants and yet-tobe detailed “partnership� funding that some fear means higher property taxes along the routes. MultiCare Health System, for example, has asked for details about “partnership options� since it conditionally endorses running light rail along the hospital complex’s span of MLK but has concerns about noise and any the costs it could face if the “partnership� includes the formation of a Local Improvement District or other funding district that would affect the largest landholder and employer on the route. “Many of our employees and patients rely on public transportation to get to our facilities and we understand the impact this expansion will have on the community,� MultiCare Senior Vice President Lois Bernstein wrote in a Feb. 20 letter to Sound Transit requesting information about the funding package, which has yet to be answered. “At some point we will get to that point,� Sound Transit spokeswoman Kimberly Reason said of the “partnership� leg of the funding stool. “We just

The difference comes from the down economy and lower tax revenues. A stakeholders group of business owners, the Puyallup Tribe and other interested parties also recently endorsed a “hybridâ€? idea that would route tracks to Portland Avenue from the East 25th Street station and to Stadium District from the Theater District station. This is also being reviewed. All totaled, Sound Transit cut an initial roster of about two dozen routes down to six route options, then to three before adding the two “hybridâ€? route proposals. The other routes on the short list are: one that would run from the Theater District station to Stadium and up to 6th Avenue and end at Union Avenue; one that would run from East 25th Street to Portland Avenue; and one that would loop up Stadium from the Theater District and down MLK to South 19th Street. Next stops in the Link routing: A “Rally to Move Forward on Tacoma Linkâ€? will be held at 5 p.m. on April 5 at Amocat CafĂŠ, 625 St. Helens Ave. Sound Transit will conduct an open house 4-7 p.m. on April 11 at the Tacoma Dome Station, 424 E. 25th St. This is also the day Sound Transit’s Capital Committee is to address the issue at its meeting set for 1:30 p.m. in Seattle. Tacoma City Council will hold a presentation on the routes on April 16. The Sound Transit Board of Directors could make a decision or take other action at its next regular meeting April 25, but will likely delay the issue until its May meeting. More information can be found at www.soundtransit.org/tacomalinkexpansion.

Fire Department have been national leaders in proving themselves not only equal to the job but also quite capable of rising to top leadership. None of that was on Annie Craig’s mind when she saw Bronson’s head go under. The tri-athlete simply knew that, without her, he would die. At that point, she did not know that another life would soon depend on her strength, skill and will. Rebecca Thayer-Blunt had gone out to help Bronson and was on the other side of the canoe. Bronson thought they had it handled. He thought he was doing the backstroke and pulling the canoe back to shore. He thought he was paddling, doing what the people onshore were yelling at him to do. At best, he was bobbing and the longer they were in, submerging more often. He was talking dark nonsense. Rebecca was scared by what he was saying, and terrified as she felt the tide pulling them away from shore. She could not save him. She might not be able to save herself. Then Annie Craig reached them. Strong and sure, Craig took hold of Bronson and, with Rebecca, kicked toward the shore. Together, the women swam Bronson to safety. When they reached land, he could not stand. He could not walk to the blan-

kets. But he could breathe. He was alive and shivering as another crew worked on an injured hand and a fireboat retrieved the canoe. Chance, Rebecca and Craig changed everything. Had the crew not been called to care for a young woman with a cut hand, they would not have been at that beach as a man was running out of fight in the water. Had Rebecca not gotten to Bronson, he might, shocked by the water, have drowned. If Annie Craig were not a woman of strength and valor, he would have. “Annie decided to do this selfless act,� Bronson said. Because she did, his family did not watch him die that afternoon. Those children will not carry the memory of that horror through their lives. “What is that extra piece, that selflessness?� Bronson asked the firefighters at the ceremony. Chief Duggan gave the Valor pin to Craig and told her she had earned the right to wear it every day. Gunnel and Jack Hawkins, her colleagues on the crew, and Rebecca, earned certificates of commendation, and Bronson’s gratitude. “You do things every single day that risk your lives,� he told them. “I did not expect you guys to be there and do what you did.� But that is what the valorous expect of themselves.

Gail Ringrose at T-Town Apparel figured residents could use some help toting their groceries home from the farmers market, or perhaps the communal oven. How better to do that than in the finest tote bag this side of the Atlantic? Because the Puyallup Tribe of Indians wrote the first chapters of Pierce County’s history, they, and Tacoma Weekly, are sending 20 copies of that history in a book titled “Land of the Welcoming People – A History of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians.â€?

underway to build the interior into a full-fledged community center. The crowd included numerous city notables like Tacoma City Council member Ryan Mello; YWCA Executive Director Miriam Barnett; Pierce County AIDS Foundation Executive Director Duane Wilkerson; Chief of Operations and Strategy at Metropolitan Development Council and President of the Board of the American Leadership Forum Troy Christensen; community activist Justin Leighton; and Tacoma civic leader (and Tacoma City Council candidate) Patricia Lecy-Davis. Benjii Bittle, deputy executive director of Broadway Center, is co-chair of the Creating Community Campaign. He said the fundraising goal is $250,000 in the next nine weeks, with about $110,000 already collected. Campaign information can be found at www.rainbowcntr.org, and there will be many opportunities for the community to get involved as well. Joining Bittle on the fundraising committee are Sharon Benson, Diane Lachell, Sam Harris and John Cummings, with council member Mello and state Rep. Laurie Jinkins as honorary co-chairs. Bittle expressed much excitement for what lies ahead for Tacoma’s LGBT community center and its trailblazing inclusion of youth. “What struck me about this is that what’s happening here is nationally significant,â€? he said. Rainbow Center Executive Director Michelle Douglas said there’s nothing else like it that she knows of. “There’s not often youth-specific space and there’s really something powerful and magical about that. We have been looking for other examples of what we’re doing and I have not yet found another youth center and broader community center side by side like we are,â€? she said. “This is an incredible opportunity for us to expand our footprint and provide more services.â€? Once it’s open for business, Douglas anticipates that the Rainbow Center and Oasis will both be busier than ever before. “What excites me most about this space is that with this design we are able to say it’s busy from 8 in the morning to 10 at night. This is an opportunity to take the resources we have and just maximize them.â€? In addition to providing meeting space for numerous LGBT organizations such as Gender Alliance of the South Sound and the Imperial Sovereign Court of Tacoma, the Rainbow Center hosts regular events like movie nights and karaoke nights, and publishes a bi-monthly newsletter and annual resource guide that lists LGBT-friendly resources and services in the South Puget Sound area. The center is also the hub of organizing the yearly Out In Tacoma pride festival each July. Oasis, a program of Pierce County AIDS Foundation, is a drop-in, support and resource center for LGBT youth ages 14-24. Oasis Director Seth Kirby said that increased public and visible support of LGBT youth makes this the right time for Oasis to reach the next level. “We really wanted to model a coming out process that is healthy and community accepted, so it’s really exciting to get to do that right next to the Rainbow Center,â€? he said. Combined, the Rainbow Center and Oasis receive about 200 visits per week. “I’m anticipating this will grow in our public location, and that’s exciting,â€? Kirby said. The first thing noticeable about the new location was the vast expanse of square footage the two organizations will now have – from 1,600 at the center’s St. Helens address to 6,000 at the new location. Rainbow Center and Oasis will each have its own distinct space and separate entrance and the kitchen, computer lab, library, game room and more can all be shared by both. Douglas said Chuckals’ owners and staff were a dream to work with and even donated some pieces of furniture. “They’ve been so nice‌just outstanding.â€? She said the same of building owners Peter and Ann Darling, both longtime Tacoma philanthropists. “Part of what has made this work for us is that we have such a supportive landlord here.â€? The Darlings have owned the building for about 35 years. Peter Darling said he’s thankful that the center is moving in. “There are 40 other empty buildings around town and we as landlords are grateful you chose us,â€? he said at the campaign kickoff. Douglas also gave thanks to Amy DeDomonicis with Tacoma Design Collaborative and Steve Dombrowski with Architecture for Humanity. “They both are donating all of their time and are really the only reason we have made it this far,â€? Douglas said. To keep up with all the new developments, “likeâ€? the Tacoma Rainbow Center on Facebook, follow on Twitter and visit www.rainbowcntr.org and sign up for the center’s e-newsletter. Those interested in volunteering to help out are asked to e-mail Kirby at seth@oasisyouthcenter.org or Douglas at michelled@rainbowcntr.org to let them know your interests.

What is Magical in Music? Music gives soul to our heart, or wings too, that can pierce with a dart. “Rest” gives us the time to enjoy playing our musical instruments like a toy. Music is like a pretty face, or a bell that will ring in space. Music shapes our ears intertwined in a vine, or like bees swarming a cleft note in kind. Singing in the trees, music is warm and cold, or it can be, black and bold. Music can be like a diamond in the sky, or as gracious as a shooting star will fly.

JASON LEE HOLDS OFF FIRST CREEK TO WIN OPENER Bobcats’ quarterback, defense key to effort “After (Adams) tackled me, I was like ‘if we want to win this I better come back and try to play it out.” – Jackson Potts Jason Lee Quarterback

By Jeremy Helling jeremy@tacomaweekly.com

fter 26 years of absence, this was a special game to help kick off the return of middle school football to Tacoma. Led by hobbled quarterback Jackson Potts, Jason Lee drove 75 yards for the winning touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and held off a late charge by First Creek to take a 15-12 win over the Eagles on March 28. Potts had injured his knee when he was sacked by First Creek’s Lonyea Adams on fourth down midway through the third quarter, with Jason Lee trailing 12-7. But he returned to connect with Elijah Jones for a 46-yard strike on 4th-and-5 to the Eagles’ one-yard line on the next drive, and snuck it in for the winning score on the next play to help give the Bobcats the win. “After (Adams) tackled me, I was like ‘if we want to win this I better come back and try to play it out,’” Potts said. The Eagles made a valiant effort to come back with two minutes left, as quarterback Londrell Hamilton connected with four different receivers to help First Creek drive 58 yards to the Bobcats’ 33-yard line. But his pass on fourth down fell incomplete, and Jason Lee was

fter being on the short end of some lopsided contests early in the season, the Stadium softball team broke out in a big way on April 2, using an eight-run second inning to earn a 16-6 win over Mount Tahoma at the Peck fields. “It’s something they’ve been building up to,” said Stadium head coach Charlie Glenn of the offensive outburst. “They’ve just got to relax and loosen up a little bit. They’re starting to have some fun.” It was the Thunderbirds that struck first with two runs in the top of the first, including a runscoring single by Alejandra Barajas, who finished with two runs batted in. But Stadium tallied three runs in the bottom half, as Izzy Chapman earned a bases-loaded walk and Bre Woods followed with a groundout to score Adri Padilla to make it 3-2. The flood gates opened in the second, as the Tigers sent 13 batters to the plate and pulled away to an 11-2 lead. Catcher Kylie Spencer had a tworun triple in the frame, Woods added a two-run single and Trish Hallman and Kylie Lensegrav added run-scoring singles. “Because they’re young, once they get rid of the nerves they get it fired up a little bit,” Glenn said of the big inning. Barajas and Caylie Neziri cut it to 11-4 with run-scoring groundouts in the third, but the Thunderbirds could not make up any more ground. Sydney Rogers drilled a solo homer to right field in the third for Stadium, and Hallman – who finished 4-for-5 – added a solo homer in the fourth. Spencer finished 2-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBIs for Stadium, while Woods tallied four RBIs and Padilla was on base five times, finishing 2-for-2 with three runs scored and three walks. Senior catcher Bailee Larson was 2-for-4 with a double, three runs scored and a run batted in for Mount Tahoma.

The Wilson Lady Rams exploded out of the gate, scoring seven runs in the first three innings, but had to hold on late for an 8-6 win over North Thurston on March 29 at home. “We really were swinging the bats today, but we almost let it slip away,” said Lady Rams head coach Ron Balmer, who saw his team improve to 3-0 in the Narrows 3A to stay tied with Timberline for the top spot. Wilson would spot North Thurston an early two-run lead in the top of the first inning, but they came back with a three-spot of their own in the bottom half. Wilson starting pitcher Alex Flynn highlighted the inning with a run-scoring single, and also would pick up the win by throwing a complete game while giving up five earned runs and striking out four batters. Wilson increased their lead to 7-3 in the third inning when Clarissa Graham drove a two-run double into the gap in right center field as part of another three-run frame.

After the Tacoma Community College baseball team surrendered a late lead to lose the opener earlier in the day, Joey Gamache made sure the same thing didn’t happen in the nightcap. The lefty starter pitched seven shutout innings to pick up the win as the Titans got a 1-0 win over Pierce College at home on March 29 to split the doubleheader. “I felt like all my pitches were working for me,� said Gamache, who allowed just four hits with no walks and eight strikeouts. “(I was) getting it over the plate. That’s basically what we try to do is get it over the plate and at the knees.� Gamache started quickly, striking out the first four batters and allowing just one runner – on an error – in the first three innings. The Titans’ hitters, facing Raiders’ ace Elliot Morris, threatened in the first three innings but couldn’t punch through. Third baseman Joe Greaney and catcher Jake Ross both singled in the second inning and advanced to second and third with two outs, but Morris struck out center fielder Connor Cloyd to escape the

threat. The Titans finally got on the board in the fifth, as Ross singled, advanced to second on Cloyd’s bunt single and got to third on a fielder’s choice by Seth Heck. Garrett DeGallier then made it 1-0 with a booming double to right to score Ross, but the Raiders threw out Heck at the plate to avoid any more damage. “You get two really good pitching teams like ourselves and them, these are the ones where you have to find any way you can to score and take advantage,� said TCC head coach Ryan Mummert. Pierce threatened to break through in the top of the sixth, as Gamache hit Wesley Hoskins with a pitch with two outs and Michael Sherwin and Deven Kaaiwela followed with back-to-back singles to load the bases. But Gamache struck out D.J. Elmer to escape the threat, and retired the Raiders in order in the top of the seventh to close it out. “I just try not to think about it, just keep throwing strikes and doing what I’m doing,� said Gamache of facing the basesloaded jam. Gamache moved to 2-0 on the season, lowering his ERA to 2.86 on the young season.

Michaud to escape the inning unharmed. The Raiders then cut it to 2-1 off Titans’ reliever Ryota Koiwai – who sports a submarine-style delivery – in the top of the eighth when Elmer singled to score Hoskins. Brandon Choate then came on in the top of the ninth to close it out and got two quick strikeouts, but then walked three straight batters to load the bases. Pierce tied it 2-2 when Sherwin grounded into a fielder’s choice to third, but Larson beat the tag at third and Isaac Kim scored. Kaaiwela followed with a single to score Larson and give Pierce the lead, and TCC couldn’t muster a threat against Moran in the bottom of the inning. The Titans split another doubleheader at Pierce on March 30, winning 13-2 in the opener as Michaud was 3-for-3 with three RBIs and Cloyd, Jordon Woodring and Kenny Bayer tallied two RBIs apiece. But TCC dropped the nightcap 3-2, spoiling a solid effort from starter Lukas Hinton, who allowed just one earned run in six innings. TCC sits at 13-5 overall and 2-2 in division play, as they host Clark in a doubleheader on April 6 at 1 p.m. and travel to Clark for another doubleheader on April 7 at 1 p.m.

“Joey was outstanding,� Mummert said. “(It was) the outing that we needed after the first game. For him to throw the way he was and to keep them off balance, he was really good.� Titans’ ace Mitch McQueen was equally impressive in the first game, holding the Raiders scoreless over seven innings while allowing just six hits, with three walks and three strikeouts. He escaped a first-and-third jam in the first inning by getting Kaaiwela to fly out to DeGallier in right, and got Lee Larson to line out to DeGallier to escape a bases-loaded situation in the fifth inning. “He pitched really well, we just couldn’t hold it at the end,� Mummert said. “I’m proud of the guys for not hanging their heads. They came back ready to go (in the second game).� First baseman Ben Circeo gave TCC a 1-0 lead in the third inning, grounding out to score left fielder C.J. Hicks, who had doubled. Greaney made it 2-0 in the fourth with a single to score second baseman Evan Peterson. The Titans had a chance to add on in the fifth with runners at second and third with two outs, but Raiders’ starter Darrien Moran struck out Chad

The Stadium Tigers soccer team didn’t have much time to celebrate a hard-fought win over city rival Bellarmine Prep two days earlier. And they quickly showed that they had put that win behind them against Central Kitsap, as they took a commanding lead early and cruised to a 3-1 win over the defending league champ Cougars at home on March 29 to move into a first-place tie with Gig Harbor. “It was kind of a worry, because it was the third game of the week,� said first-year Stadium head coach Adam Becker. “The boys came to play. They came

together really well.� The Tigers got on the board in the 18th minute off a corner kick, as Garrett Harp sent a low pass to Jacob Beardemphl, and the senior captain chipped a cross into the box where sophomore forward Gabriel Castillo slammed it in with a header. Becker noted that Castillo has been one of a number of bright spots early with his scoring ability and all-around effort. “That kid is killing it right now,� Becker said. “He’s doing all the dirty work that no one sees.� Harp made it 2-0 six minutes later, as he dribbled down the right side and sent a high arcing shot over Cougars’ keeper Lorenzo Alvarenga, off the far post and in.

The Cougars threatened to cut into the deficit several times early in the second half – hitting the post on several occasions – but were unable to break through. The Tigers then caught Central Kitsap in transition in the 63rd minute, as forward Andrew Foreman got the ball on a breakaway, dribbled around Alvarenga and sent the ball into an empty net to make it 3-0. Central Kitsap avoided the shutout when Alvarenga’s long drive forward bounced over Tigers’ keeper Adam Aguilar and into the net, but it was too late to make much significance. Stadium picked up its fourth straight win, and fourth win in league play to go along with one

draw and one loss. They sit atop the standings with Gig Harbor with 13 points, and average almost four goals per game while allowing just one. “We started the season off kind of rough,� Beardemphl said.

“We’re really coming together as a team‌as long as we move the ball like we know how, we can’t be stopped.â€? The Tigers will host Wilson in a Narrows League crossover match on April 9 at 7:15 p.m.

able to run out the clock. “(We needed) a couple more plays, a couple more minutes,� said First Creek head coach Jamila Jones. “I think today they learned a lot about themselves, knowing that we can play with whomever as long as we pay attention to the details.� The game started quickly, as Jason Lee’s L.J. Lovelace broke free for a 30-yard touchdown on the Bobcats’ fourth play from scrimmage in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. But Hamilton took the resulting kickoff back 72 yards for a score, and First Creek trailed 7-6 after missing the extra point. But both teams then hunkered down defensively. After fumbling a punt early in the second quarter in their territory, Jason Lee forced three straight negative plays, as Potts snuffed out Hamilton’s fake punt to get the ball back. But after driving into Eagles territory, the Bobcats turned the ball over on downs as well, and the score held at 7-6 at halftime. First Creek stormed out of the gate in the second half, launching a five-play,

64-yard drive capped by Maleke Pate’s four-yard touchdown to go up 12-7. They looked to go up even more after getting the ball back on the Bobcats’ 40-yard line after Adams’ sack of Potts, but Patrick Rogers came up with a big interception for Jason Lee on fourth down at their own 25-yard line to get the ball back. “I can’t say enough about those young men,â€? said Jason Lee head coach Willie Colter, emphasizing the effort of his defense. “They played hard, they played to the end. They were the answer to us getting this victory‌the turnovers help big time in football.â€? Rogers then scampered 22 yards on the first offensive play of the next series, and Potts connected with Jones for the long strike four plays later. After returning from spring break, the schedule resumes on April 11 as First Creek travels to take on Baker at 3:45 p.m., while Jason Lee will have a bye. Other contests – all at 3:45 p.m. – include Stewart at Mason, Giaudrone at Truman and Meeker at Gray.

She gave up a pair of solo home runs in the fifth inning to trim the lead to 8-5, but the Rams eventually held on for the narrow 8-6 win. “I definitely did not have my best stuff today, but thankfully our offense was on fire when they had to be,� Flynn said. While the pitching was not as sharp, Flynn helped herself considerably at the plate by going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a run batted in. Flynn, who is constantly compared to her older sister and graduated standout Janessa, is looking to leave her own

distinct mark on the program. “Janessa had a great career here at Wilson,â€? she said, “but we are two very different types of players. But it is a great compliment nonetheless.â€? Keeping their eyes on their current opponent is not always easy these days for Wilson, especially with Timberline and a first-place showdown looming on April 8 at Wilson. “It is a hard thing to do, keeping your focus until the actual game happens,â€? Flynn said. “But Timberline is definitely in our sights‌the game of the year to this point.â€? By Steve Mullen

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT TRIBAL IMPACT

SUPPORTING THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY

Over the years, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has transformed itself and its role in the community. The Tribe’s determined protection of its natural resources, its pivotal role in development of Tacoma’s port area, the Tribe’s major donations to other governments and to charitable organizations, the new-concept Tahoma Market gas station and convenience store, and the development and expansion of the Tribe’s Emerald Queen Casinos are examples of the Puyallup Tribe’s economic progress. Through its two Emerald Queen Casino locations, Administration, Health Authority, Housing Authority, economic development corporation, and school, the Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County with a payroll of more than 3,500 people – 74 percent of whom are non-Native – and total spending in 2011 of nearly $430 million. This spending supports the community by paying good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and by purchasing goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors and construction companies. Assistance provided to the broader Native American community and the Puyallup Tribal membership also has a far-reaching impact in the community as most of these dollars are in turn spent in the local economy. The Puyallup Tribe is continuously living up to its name, which means, “generous and welcoming behavior to all people.” As such, the Tribe is a key sponsor of countless local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer in today’s tight economy. Despite economic uncertainties across the country, the South Sound is doing well, and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians plays a key role in keeping that a reality. From funding education, jobs, healthcare, city improvement projects, crime prevention and environmental efforts, the Tribe’s tradition as the “generous people” is as strong today as it ever was.

Tribe donates to help local people and charities Donations to Northwest Harvest, Food Lifeline, Toys for Tots and more helps families and communities in need

Puyallup Tribal Vice Chairman Bill Sterud (holding left side of check), along with Council Members David Bean, left, and Sylvia Miller, far right, presented Northwest Harvest Board 4LTILY 4PRL /HYNYLH]LZ ^P[O H JOLJR [OH[ ^PSS ILULÄ[ MVVK IHURZ [OYV\NOV\[ [OL Z[H[L During the 2012 fiscal year, the Puyallup Tribe pumped more than $3 million from its charity and general funds into the local community with donations to various charitable organizations, churches, and schools that support food banks, literacy programs, medical research, education and job training, and other programs. Staying true to its tradition as the “generous people,” the Puyallups donated $250,000 each to two key area food distributors in both December 2011 and 2012 – Food Lifeline and Northwest Harvest – which feed thousands of families in need during the holidays. As Washington’s largest hunger relief agency, Food Lifeline distributes more than 35 million pounds of food annually – the equivalent of more than 27 million meals – to feed hungry people throughout Western Washington. Northwest Harvest is the only non-profit food bank distributor operating statewide with a network of more than 325 food banks, meal programs and high-need schools. It provides more than 1.7 million meals every month through this network. Northwest Harvest distributed more than 26 million pounds of food last year. All food and operating funds come from individuals, businesses and foundations, with 92 percent of the total budget going to food distribution. Yearly in December, Northwest Harvest hosts its largest oneday event of the year: the KING 5 Home Team Harvest. Northwest Harvest volunteers and staff spend the day collecting food and funds at numerous sites throughout the Seattle/Tacoma area. Throughout the day, members of the community drove carloads full of food donations to help Northwest Harvest reach its goal for the event. “We were taught as children that the biggest thing a person will be remembered by is what they do for their people – not what they do for themselves,” said Council Member David Bean. “We recognize that the economy is still recovering, and the need for help is still there.” Puyallup Tribal Council Vice Chairman Bill Sterud presented the check to Northwest Harvest Volunteers at the event. “It is an honor and a privilege to be in a position to help people, especially during the holidays,” Sterud said. “We are deeply grateful to the Puyallup Tribe for their generosity and spirit of potlatch giving, at a time when revenue is down and need is up,” said Northwest Harvest Executive Director Shelley Rotondo. The half-million dollars the Tribe donated to

Northwest Harvest over the past two years will provide approximately 2,174,000 meals. “This donation means so much to us, because the need is growing in the community,” said Mike Hargreaves, board member of Northwest Harvest. “Our overhead is so incredibly low, and it’s amazing what we can do with a dollar. This donation makes a huge impact on the organization.” The Tribe’s contributions to Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline combined equals more than 3.5 million meals to individuals and families in Washington. “A lot of these food banks are down 80 percent in donations. We were sure some families were going to go without,” said Puyallup Tribal Council Member Marguerite Edwards. “Our donation makes a big difference.” Also in December 2011 and 2012, Tribal representatives presented Toys For Tots organizers with checks for $250,000, for a total contribution of $500,000, during the annual KIRO Day toy drive at the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in South Tacoma. They also brought with them truckloads of toys, accounting for $10,000 in additional donations to support local families who do not have the means to purchase Christmas gifts for their own children. “Christmas is just not the same for a child without presents. We had the capacity to provide these toys to children who need them, and it’s really exciting,” said Edwards. In 2012, the total monetary donation to the drive equaled 50 times more toys for tots. “That’s 50 more vans full of toys.” Tribal Council Member Sylvia Miller said the Tribe’s contributions in food and toys are just a small way to help countless local families. She said the Tribe is proud to play an important role in helping those in the community who need it most. “It is such a good thing that the Tribe can share its wealth with the people in need in the community.” In September 2012 the Puyallup Tribe of Indians gifted a third food bank with a $50,000 grant to FISH Food Banks of Pierce County to be used for food purchases by the Southeast FISH Food Bank. The award is the largest the food bank has ever received from the Puyallup Tribe. “Any time we make a donation to a food bank, it’s a very positive thing,” said Miller. “Many of us come from poor families, so it is a good thing to help another person feed a family no matter who they are.”

Southeast FISH, located at 1704 E. 85th St., is the largest and busiest of FISH Food Banks’ seven fixed locations, serving about 17,000 people each month. “This incredibly generous donation will go a long way toward serving clients in our busiest food bank,” FISH Food Banks Executive Director Beth Elliott said. “We deeply appreciate the Puyallup Tribe’s compassion for our neighbors in need.” Founded in the late 1970s and incorporated in 1983, FISH Food Banks of Pierce County is the county’s oldest and largest food bank organization, now serving 40 percent of the county’s food bank clients. In 2011 FISH served more than 446,000 individuals through its seven food bank sites and its mobile food bank. Through careful stewardship and bulk purchasing, FISH is able to distribute $7 worth of food for every $1 donated. In other areas of charitable giving, the Puyallup Tribe made a $125,000 contribution to Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling for the launch of a therapeutic justice program for problem gamblers in Pierce County. In addition, $400,000 went to fund problem gambling programs at the Puyallup Nation Health Authority. A few years ago, MultiCare Health System embarked on a capital campaign to make much needed improvements to the emergency departments of Tacoma General and the adjoining Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, which had been facing similar challenges with its 32,000 patients per year. This significant expansion to both emergency departments was a massive undertaking, made possible in large part due to a $1 million donation from the Puyallup Tribe. Thanks to this contribution, the adjoining emergency departments of Tacoma General and Mary Bridge expanded from a small footprint to spanning the length of an entire football field – including both end zones. The Tribe has already seen benefits that extend far beyond improved care, as MultiCare has made significant efforts to not only understand tribal culture, but to make adjustments and policy changes to accommodate these practices. In April 2012 Metro Parks Tacoma Youth Sports received $35,000 from the Puyallup Tribe Charity Trust Board, thanks to a grant submitted by the Greater Metro Parks Foundation. The funding will provide much needed sports equipment and financial aid scholarships, sustaining Metro Parks’ services that may have otherwise been scaled back.

Comedian Chris Titus brings his tragicomedy to Tacoma Comedy Club By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Comedian Christopher Titus has a penchant for self-destruction. It’s the main topic of his new standup comedy special, “Voice in My Head,� which, among other things, recalls how he screwed himself out of wheelbarrows full of cash and his hit FOX-TV series, “Titus.� Fans have been downloading the new special at ChristopherTitus.com since Monday. The popular comic will headline Tacoma Comedy Club next week, from April 11-13. And here’s what he had to say earlier this week. TW: You’re cuttin’ out the middleman with your new special. I’ve seen where Louis C.K. has done that. I think Aziz (Ansari) may have done that. I’m sensing a trend for comedians. Titus: I did it because of Bill Burr. Bill’s a friend of mine, and Bill said to me, “Where’s it gonna be? Comedy Central?� And he just went off. He went, “Eff Comedy Central, eff Showtime, all these people.� (Releasing it independently) made a lot of sense. Then the audience gets it uncut, they get it totally uncut. Every one of my shows is about something. This last one was about all my screwups in this life. I said one sentence that cost me $30 million. I tell three stories about when I started comedy, how bad it used to be. In one of the stories, this woman wouldn’t look at me and she wouldn’t laugh, and I turned and I ripped on her. I got right in her face and started goin’, “What’s your problem lady? What’s your deal?�

Right as I was yelling at this woman, the audience just got quieter and quieter and quieter. And it was a noon show; it was for a women’s group. I walk off stage and the comedian’s backstage I’m working with, and he’s laughing so hard he can’t talk. I go, “What?â€? And he goes, “She’s bliiiiind. You were screaming into the face of a blind woman.â€? TW: Oh no. Titus: No matter how many times I tell the story ‌ I always feel like a

jerk. I grow a cancerous tumor every time I tell that story. But the audiences laugh too hard. So the whore side of me is like, “You have to tell it.â€? TW: But I have to rewind you. A $30 million mistake? Titus: At the time we were at Fox (shooting “Titusâ€?). We had four network presidents in three years. They’d always come in and say the same thing. “We love the show, it’s perfect. Here’s what you have to change.â€? And they never said it with any irony. They always meant what they said. So a president came in ‌ and she says, “I want you to break up the main characters and have them cheat on each other.â€? So, I look at the president and go, “Do you even watch the show? Let me explain to you how this works.â€? It was weird because even that voice in my head was going, “Dude, you’re an idiot. What are you doing?â€? And I just kept goin’. ‌ And the network president looks at me and goes, “Fine, do what you want.â€? And it turns out, if you tell your boss they’re stupid long enough, they will fire you. I don’t care how bad your screwups are in life, unless you’re behind bars drinking toilet bowl wine and wearing lipstick - because every day in prison is Valentine’s Day - you got nothin’ on me. I win. Nobody makes the mistakes I make. TW: But you’ve had pilots since “Titus,â€? I think I’ve read. Titus: I sold three or four shows, but some of them didn’t go to pilot. “Special Unitâ€? was a thing we did. It’s “The Shieldâ€? with handicapped people.... They said it was too edgy for Comedy Central. I said, “OK, let’s just do a balls out, laugh-out-loud funny movie then.â€? TW: You’re shooting a “Special Unitâ€? movie then. Tell me the premise again. Titus: Due to the (Americans With Disabilities Act) the LAPD is forced to hire four handicapped undercover detectives. I’m this (crooked) cop. ‌ So, basically, my captain assigns me to these four handicapped (recruits) that I’ve got to train to be cops and detectives. And, I’m just evil. It’s just so wrong. Everything you’re not supposed to say to disabled people is said, and at the end of the day they end up being a better squad than I could ever be. The reason I wrote the entire idea was not to be outrageous or not to be crazy. I have some friends who are disabled. They were comedians, and they were complaining they don’t get jobs. Then there was even a protest 10 years ago where all the disabled actors came out. ‌ So I said, “OK, let’s write it.â€?

I wanted to kind of kill (the stigma.) You can’t do that (by being) “Boy in the Bubbleâ€? sappy. You have to go (all) out the other way. So my character has no problem calling them on everything, using the word “retardâ€? and using the word “wobblies.â€? The great thing about them is we humanize them because they jump right back in my face. TW: On the flip side, I can imagine standards and practices flipping out. Titus: So we took it to Showtime first, and I sat down with Bob Greenblatt ‌ who’s now president at NBC. I said, “Here’s the idea. ‘The Shield’ with handicapped people. And he literally (said), “Wow! Let’s do that.â€? And we turned the script in, and even at Showtime Bob went, “Titus, we can’t do this.â€? (Laughs) TW: In going back and reading your bio, a lot of your comedy comes

from dark experiences you’ve had. Is talking about that stuff therapeutic? And is there anything that’s off limits? Titus: It’s only off limits if it’s not my life. If it’s somethin’ dark and horrible and it’s someone else’s life, that’s just wrong. No, man, therapeutic is not even (the word). I would have went into a mall with an assault weapon and played duck duck goose without standup comedy. Honest to God, after about 10 times of doing any bit — whether it was my mom’s mental illness, my mom shooting and killing her ex-husband, my dad’s drinkin’ — after doin’ it 10 or 12 times onstage ... I was seeing the absurd part of it. I was making it absurd, and that’s when I walked away as opposed to it draggin’ me down. And there is no way this should be tearing me down if the audience is laughing at it.

Sacred Red Road Celebrating the legacy of Cultural Center African-American music New business carries largest collection of Native American books in the United States By John Larson jlarson@tacomaweekly.com

“More than just a bookstore….a cultural awakening.” With that motto as her guide, Melissa Hoskins is opening a business she hopes will be a place where people of all ethnicities gather to learn about the culture and history of American Indians. Sacred Red Road Cultural Center is a for-profit business. It is affiliated with Native Quest, a nonprofit organization, but they are separate entities. Native Quest operated for a while in downtown Tacoma. It relocated to a spot near the intersection of Waller Road and South 104th Street. Hoskins recently had the opportunity to purchase the inventory of MacRae’s Indian Books, a store in Enumclaw. The Library of Congress identifies 8,000 book titles in the Native American category. Hoskins now has 6,000 of these titles. She said this is the largest collection in the United States and perhaps in the world in this category. She has more than 70,000 books in stock. Her husband, Mike Hoskins, recently became director of Native Quest. Their plan is to have Native Quest open in the near future next door to Sacred Red Road. Melissa was born in Massachusetts and moved to Southern California as a young girl. She is Native American, but does not

know her tribal affiliation because she was adopted at a young age. She is interested in taking a blood test that could pinpoint her tribal background. Mike is of the Blackfoot Tribe of Montana. He moved from there to the Tacoma area as a young boy. Many of his relatives have married members of Puyallup Tribe. Mike has worked in non-profits and also served in the military. He deployed to Iraq in 2007. A few weeks ago he attended an event at Native Quest. He learned the owner of MacRae’s wanted to sell her book collection and that the director of Native Quest planned to step down. The couple saw these as two opportunities to delve deeper into their Native heritage and share it with people across the region. Melissa had run a billing business, but said it was not really her cup of tea. Mike had retired from the military and collects disability payment for injuries related to his service. “This just fell into our laps,” he observed. Next they needed a building. They sought a location that was easy to find and accessible by bus. They found an ideal spot in Parkland, in what originally was a farmhouse. The building later housed businesses including a pottery

shop and sporting goods store. They noted it is halfway between the Nisqually and Puyallup reservations. They envision Sacred Red Road as a place where people can pour a cup of coffee, pull a book off a shelf and sit down for a good read. Melissa plans to have a reference library. The facility will hold a variety of events, including healing circles, beading classes and meetings of 12step support groups. It will sell art on consignment, including work by local artist Andrew Morrison. Mike wants Natives to bring their non-Native spouses and in-laws to Sacred Red Road. “This is not just for Natives. This is a place for everyone.” “All of this has been a blessing for us,” Melissa said. “We are all under one creator.” They expect to have some volunteers help run the operation and eventually hire some paid staff. An event is planned for April 6. Stef Rawle, author of “Forgotten Souls,” will read from her book starting at 3 p.m. Sacred Red Road Cultural Center is located at 14806 Pacific Ave. in Parkland. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. For more information call (253) 241-0398 or send an e-mail to redroadcc@ gmail.

RENOWNED. The Adelphian Concert Choir is among the performers

paying homage to African-American musical traditions during the Art of Spirituals on April 12 at University of Puget Sound’s Schneebeck Concert Hall. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

The University of Puget Sound will pay homage to African-American folk musical traditions with the Art of Spirituals, a concert that will include performances by the Adelphian Concert Choir, the Dorian Singers and more on April 12 at the university’s Schneebeck Concert Hall. “My research is on different AfricanAmerican musicians in the 20th century and the ways they have interacted with the spirituals,” explained Gwynne Kuhner Brown, an assistant professor of music history and music theory at UPS who will play piano and provide historical context between songs. “I thought it would be neat to put together a program that would showcase the diversity of approaches to this great body of folk songs,” she said. Brown compares the evolution of spirituals to the long version of the children’s game telephone. The songs evolved greatly as they were passed down, orally, from generation to generation, she said. And many songs had strayed far from their original versions by the time outsiders transcribed or recorded them in the 19th and early 20th centuries. “Musically, they get shaped in all sorts of ways, from people who are trying to maintain a kind of folk simplicity,” Brown said, “to people who do see it as fodder for all sorts of complexity and harmonic and rhythmic innovations along the lines of other classical music from the 20th century.” The place to find spirituals closest to their original form is in churches, said soprano singer Marlette Buchanan, who honed her chops with the Fisk Jubilee Singers. The a cappella choral ensemble – based out of historically black college,

Fisk University – is known for popularizing spirituals as it toured at the turn of the 20th century. “If you go to churches that are singing gospel music, you’re gonna hear these spirituals,” Buchanan said. “Through the ages, they’ve taken on different forms. But the words are the same; the basic tunes are sometimes the same.” Buchanan will be featured on John Carter’s “Cantata.” Other works that will be performed on April 12 include “Lis’en to de Lam’s” by John Cornelius II, “My Spirituals” by Eva Jessye and choral works by William L. Dawson and Moses Hogan. “What we’re doing for this concert is different takes on some traditional spirituals,” Buchanan said. “It’s a rare occasion to hear these kinds of things in this area.” Brown is most excited to perform the works of Jessye, a groundbreaking African-American choral director who was best known as the musical director for George Gershwin’s opera “Porgy and Bess.” Published in 1927, “My Spirituals” is a collection of arrangements Jessye wrote for spirituals she’d heard growing up in Coffeyville, Kansas. “It’s this beautiful collection that hardly anyone knows,” Brown explained. “She’s a beautiful example of someone taking a folk tradition and turning it into a written tradition. And the songs are really fascinating, too.” The University of Puget Sound is located at 1500 N. Warner St., in Tacoma, and Schneebeck Concert Hall is located on the Union Avenue side of campus. The Art of Spirituals will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 general admission; $8.50 senior citizens, students, military and UPS faculty; free to current UPS students.

Two-person show at PLU gallery examines an environment in state of flux

CRYSTALLIZED. “Cracked Prospect 3” (detail) by Cynthia Camlin.

Camlin’s work explores glaciation and ice melt. Her work is a meditation upon the destabilizing influence that climate change is having on the planet’s ice bodies. By Dave R. Davison

For some time now, Camlin has been interested in glaciers and ice shelves. Her works offer a worm’s eye view (if a worm could survive in so chilly a place) of her subject. Her paintings are broken up into geometric forms done in cool colors. Some resemble layered ice cream sandwiches stuck in glass boxes and stacked atop one another. She uses the artist’s inner eye to imagine views down through the strata and the layers of ice where the secrets of the weather of past centuries are written. If Camlin gives us the worm’s eye view, Richman provides the bird’s eye view. Richman is a spiller of paint. Her big canvases are the result of experiments in

pouring various painterly concoctions, one over the other, and observing what might come about. Richman is all about process; though while she appears to work very methodically and scientifically, I suspect there is more play than work going on. She is possessed of a childlike curiosity of the type that wants to see what will happen if one spills one’s milk into a blob of ketchup. She is especially interested in layering oil-based media over water-based mixtures. “I’ve been combining oil, water and evaporation,” said Richman. Concerned yet fascinated by the state of flux in the landscape as a result of global warming, Richman’s paintings are

at once a metaphor for that process at the same time that they can be seen as a depiction of the land. Both artists blur the boundary between the abstract and the figurative in their work. Richman’s works are predominantly blue (oh so very, very blue) and white with hints of pinks and purples. Combined with Camlin’s icy tones, the pair of painters manages to make the gallery feel as if one has entered an ice temple. So button up your coats and slip into your mittens and visit the PLU gallery to see the show. “Each Form Overflows” runs through April 10. For further information visit www.plu.edu/gallery.

the sophomore disc she recorded with a little help from her island homies. The Green singer-guitarist J.P. Kennedy produced roughly half the album, and the band is featured on several cuts. Other tracks were overseen by Austin, Texasbased producer Dwight Baker (Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus). The end result is a breezy collection of summer jams that lives up to Jenkins’ selfdescribed “Jason Mraz meets Fergie” aesthetic. “I just wanted to have a variety of types of music,” the 27-year-old singersongwriter said, phoning from a recent tour stop in Denver. “It’s all over the place, but it works. I’m just thankful that I was able to fund it on (fundraising web site) Kickstarter. My fans that believed in me helped make it possible. That allowed me that creative control.” Jenkins’ musical career took off after she dropped out of Orange, Calif.’s Chapman University, where she studied film production. “I thought I was wasting money on … something I wasn’t quite sure I was passionate about,” she recalled. The self-taught guitarist moved back to Maui and rekindled her passion after she landed a gig at a local coffee shop and started jamming at open mic nights. “That’s kind of where it all started, ‘cause then I started

said. “Then I started a MySpace page. And then I started a YouTube. One thing leads to another, and here I am.” Her debut album, “Anuhea,” was released in 2009 and reached No. 7 on the iTunes pop chart after one of its cuts, “Right Love, Wrong Time,” was featured as single of the week. The following year, she scored Na Hoku Hanohano awards – essentially, Hawaiian Grammys – for most promising artist and best contemporary album. And, since then, she’s opened for the likes of Al Green, Bruno Mars and SOJA. She made her first appearance in Tacoma at Jazzbones in December. And while it can be difficult for Hawaiian artists to get exposure on the mainland, she feels she’s gaining traction with her current tour. “To travel and get to the mainland is expensive, to fly your whole band over,” Jenkins said. “It’s a challenge in that way. We’ve just been really ambitious and blessed to have a few sponsors we’ve worked with to make it happen. And I have a great team around me that helps make dreams come true.” Music will start at 8 p.m. at Jazzbones, 2803 Sixth Ave., in Tacoma. Tickets are $16; (253) 396-9169 or www.jazzbones.com for further details.

FRI., APRIL 5 SONGS OF LIFE, LOVE AND DEATH MUSIC – The Europeans shared much in terms of history, food and culture. But when it came to really important issues, such as life, love and death, a broad creative gulf opened up. The musical masters in France, Italy, Germany and England each had their own interpretations of these universal dramas. Many of the hues of this legacy can be enjoyed by regional audiences at the upcoming Jacobsen Series concert, featuring Dawn Padula, mezzo-soprano, and Tanya Stambuk on piano. For tickets order online at tickets.pugetsound.edu or call Wheelock Information Center at (253) 879-6013. Admission is $12.50 for the general public; $8.50 for seniors (55+), students, military and Puget Sound faculty and staff. The concert is free for current Puget Sound students. Group ticket rates are available for parties of 10 or more by calling (253) 879-3555 in advance. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door. The event takes place at University of Puget Sound’s Schneebeck Concert Hall.

SUN., APRIL 7 TO PARIS AND BACK MUSIC – Many fine pieces of music were created to test the skills of nervous, young players who faced the ultimate test of performing in the annual competition at the Paris Conservatory. The competition, known as the Concours, used commissioned pieces of music that were lyrically and technically demanding. The first-prize winner each year was probably the happiest person in Paris that day. In April, the University of Puget Sound wind faculty will pay homage to the grand tradition of the Paris Conservatory or Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. Puget Sound faculty members have chosen some of the best-known works created for the concours from the late 19th century through the 20th century. The concert will feature Rodger Burnett, horn; Karla Flygare, flute; Jennifer Nelson, clarinet; Paul Rafanelli, bassoon; Dan Williams, oboe; Fred Winkler, saxophone; Tanya Stambuk, piano; and Duane Hulbert, piano.

In 2006, she produced skin prayers, an audio CD of her poems. Austin spent her teens and 20s working in the theater and writing poems.

BOOK READING ON MENTAL ILLNESS Author Evonne Agnello will talk HAPPENINGS

–

about her memoir “Shaking Shame from Mental Illness.” The suicide of her father hit Agnello hard. When her brother followed suit four years later, she wondered if fate would send her along the same path. With sensitivity, Agnello explores mental illness from both sides – within the mind of the sufferer and of those watching the one suffering – and sends hope for all. She shows that depression is highly treatable and manageable and need not poison your life. One can emerge from the depths of despair and find reasons to dance in the sun. Agnello grew up in Seward, Neb. where her family owned a weekly newspaper. She worked in newspapers for more than 30 years, in the Pacific Northwest in Bend, Ore. and Vancouver, Wash. The last 15 years of her newspaper career were with Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association, a nonprofit trade association of daily newspapers, which she was executive director of for eight years. As an advocate of mental illness awareness, she is a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
