nited Way Wo r l d w i d e is on to one of Pierce County’s treasures. It has given Patty Rose the Joseph A. Beirne Community Services Award, its highest honor for a labor leader. Given that unions are United Way’s key community partners nationwide, that is a big deal, and one that United Way of Pierce County President Rick Allen knows she has earned. “Patty Rose is one of the most involved citizens in our entire community, and one of the most effective,” Allen said in nominating her. “She is more than a volunteer. She serves as an advocate for change… Patty’s life has been dedicated to being a champion around issues that promote social and economic justice, education and training, and ensuring children and families have a pathway to success. Patty is a champion of these issues as both the secretary/treasurer for the Pierce County Labor Council, AFLCIO, and her work with the United Way on our board of directors.” Allen is right. Rose is a union member who has built a career in Beirne’s honorable tradition. Born in 1911, Beirne died on Labor Day, 1974. He served as president of Commu-

acoma City Council members are preparing to endorse a Link light rail expansion plan that would run tracks along the “Medical Mile” of Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The routing endorsement was a matter of discussion at a council study session on April 23 in preparation for a formal vote on April 30. The endorsement will then be added to the final routing discussion by the Sound Transit Board, which is set to vote in May. The study session marked the first time several council members had publicly declared their support for particular routes. The MLK route gained the most support followed by the Portland Avenue option and a hybrid route that would reach from the Theater District to MLK on one side of the extension and to Portland Avenue and East 25th Street from the Tacoma Dome station on the other.

that support stable local economies. “Listen to this,” Rose said, and read from Beirne’s bio on the award pamphlet: “Beirne believed that the future of the labor movement lay in its complete identification with the health and welfare of the entire community.” Rose, 59, has lived that. Her grandfather was a union painter. Her father was a union worker at the St. Regis pulp mill. “My dad always told me to get a job with union representation,” she said. She walked right into one. After she graduated from Franklin Pierce High School, she saw an ad for a clerk-typist for the Service Employees International Union, went to interview and was hired on X See ROSE / page A10

After a relatively short wait, Tacoma’s beloved Harbor Lights reopened for business on April 19, following an extensive $600,000 remodel. After being closed since March 11, the restaurant now has, among other upgrades, new and larger bathrooms, enhanced views of Commencement Bay, new paint, new tables, new flooring‌and an overall cleaning to freshen up the place. Menus have also been updated. Harbor Lights is located in scenic Ruston at 2761 Ruston Way. For more than 50 years, Harbor Lights has become well known for serving colossal portions of seafood such as the four pound bucket of steamed clams. Harbor Lights was the dream of Anton Barcott, an immigrant from Yugoslavia. On Jan. 26, 1959, Barcott opened Harbor Lights among the lumber mills and shipyards along the waterfront. Anthony’s Restaurants purchased Harbor Lights on April 29, 2000. Reservations are accepted by calling (253) 752-8600.

The hatchery was at the center of a controversy last year, when Wildlife officials were preparing to lease the site to a for-profit fish company with the “rent� being paid in trout rather than in cash that would also limit public access to the spot. The company had plans to simply shift the hatchery to raising salmon and buy the “trout rent� on the open market.

A Tacoma man is accused on prostituting a 15-year-old girl on the Internet. Detectives with the South Sound Child Exploitation Task Force saw the girl’s photo online and arranged to meet her on April 15 at a home. They saw her arrive in a vehicle driven by Clifton Eskridge. She told authorities she met the 30-yearold man on Facebook and has lived with him since January. She said she engaged in between two to five acts of prostitution a day and gave all the money she earned to Eskridge. He is believed to have been prostituting a 16-year-old girl who was in the car. He was charged with one count of promoting commercial sexual abuse of a minor.

Few cars can quite literally be considered “Holy Rollers.” One in the lobby of LeMay – America’s Car Museum can certainly make that claim. A local collector has loaned LeMay the 1964 Lincoln Continental limousine custom-made to protect Pope Paul VI, the leader of the Catholic faith between 1963 and 1978. The “Papal Continental” was specialty-ordered by the Vatican in 1965 and customized by Chicago-based Lehmann-Peterson coachbuilders specifically for Pope Paul’s historic visit to New York, where he held mass at Yankee Stadium and spoke to the United Nation’s Assembly. It was the first time a Pope had visited the Western Hemisphere. Vatican officials had first asked Henry Ford II to craft a custom Ford LTD car for the tour. Ford, however, determined the Continental was “more appropriate.” The car was “stretched” to 21 feet and was fitted with a fully removable roof, while bulletproof shells replaced

their moon mission. In 1968, the Vatican had the limo shipped to Columbia for the 39th International Eucharistic Congress. The “Pope-mobile” again underwent extensive modifications to allow for yet more seating, as well as better air circulation at higher elevations. It then was retired to a French Museum before it was sold at auction in 2006 for $319,000 and again in 2011. The “bargain basement” pricetag for the latter sale was reportedly $243,000, and it then made its way to a local collector.

The Continental included running boards for the Swiss Guards, who provided security. The Pope’s special ride was also given additional seating, special lighting and a public address system. After the Pope’s visit, the car shuttled Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Jim Lovell along ticker-tape parades in Chicago following

Memories of bruised child propels detective to kindness Pierce County Sheriff’s Detective Brian Lund recalled a case that went against a sorry pattern. “I had a case where a six-year-old girl was living with her dad and step-mom. She had come to school with bruises they couldn’t explain and she wouldn’t explain. They had a CPS referral, and I got a call from a detective in another agency. “She had been in the hospital, and the dad and the doctor couldn’t explain all the bruises. There were too many to be explained and some of them were very distinct. Her father was very concerned. “She ended up telling another family member that her stepmother had hit her with some shoes. She was placed in custody. I think we had a trunk and pulled out a bear for her. “Long story short is that step mother pled guilty to assault and didn’t have any more contact with her. There were other legal issues with the father, but I think they were eventually reunited.”

S. Helens and 2nd 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 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. 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.

Rebuilding Hope: Sexual Assault Center of Pierce County recently expanded its name and relocated its office, but it continues to provide the same services to victims, while expanding efforts to educate society about sexual abuse of women, men and children. The agency’s roots go back to 1972, when a group of local women realized there were few services for individuals who had been sexually abused. They founded Pierce County Rape Relief, which was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1975. With no initial funding, volunteers took crisis calls at their home telephones. In 1989 the name was changed to Sexual Assault Crisis Center of Pierce County to recognize a broadening of focus beyond rape to all forms of sexual assault. In 1997 the name was changed again to Sexual Assault Center of Pierce County. That year it was designated as a state accredited sexual assault program. The state government determined that each county would have such an agency, and the center began receiving funding from the state Office of Crime Victims Advocacy. Last year, the center’s board decided to add the words “Rebuilding Hope�

at the front of the agency’s name. Executive Director Tasha Church said it was a re-branding move. Sometimes when people ask her where she works, once they hear the words “sexual assault,� some get a bit uncomfortable. If she says she works for Rebuilding Hope, “It provides a little bit of a buffer,� Church observed. Another important change happened last December, when the agency moved from its former location near the intersection of 6th Avenue and Mildred Street. They looked at office space near

Tacoma Mall before signing a lease at 101 E. 26th St., suite 200. It is now housed in one of those old brick buildings that have been tastefully modernized for office space. Church said the decision was based in part because the building is near several bus routes and the Link light rail line. “We got lucky,� she said. “Downtown just makes sense for us.� There are 12 employees in the office. Another 25 volunteers take calls on a 24-hour crisis line. An emerging problem the center is addressing is human sex trafficking. Church is part of a coalition of social workers who have made this a priority. She noted that a class on the topic is given at the University of WashingtonTacoma. Earlier this week a documentary on the topic was shown, followed by discussion from a panel that included a victim and

police officers. Church said a growing number of underage girls are shuffled between cities on the Interstate 5 corridor by pimps. Some of those men have street gang ties. Church said gangs look at the girls in business terms. Sell a bag of cocaine and the coke is gone, while the same girl can be rented out five or 10 times a day. Just last week, a 30-year-old Tacoma man was arrested for allegedly pimping a 15-year-old girl. She told police she engaged in two to five acts of prostitution a day and gave all the money to the man. Church and others are working on a shift in how society views this problem so that the girls are seen as victims, not criminals. “We are putting a lot of emphasis on this issue.� She noted that a recent investigation of foot massage parlors in and around Puyallup revealed these businesses were being used to recruit young females

into prostitution. “That is right in our backyard.� Staff from the center holds training seminars at Joint Base Lewis/ McChord. Church noted that the military now has sexual assault advocates. “That is a turn in a positive direction.� Her staff also does training at area middle and high schools, generally to one classroom at a time. The middle school sessions delve into sexual harassment and how bystanders can intervene in awkward situations. The high school students get a more serious conversation, hearing about date rape and the consequences of heavy drinking at parties. Statistics show Washington has a rate of sexual assault against girls and boys under 18 that is higher than the national average. Church said between 10 and 15 percent of clients at the center are male. Most are men seeking counseling for abuse that happened when they were boys. “The biggest issue with sexual abuse is the shame,� Church said. “I cannot imagine trying to

hold onto it.� Despite the recession, funding from the state has remained good. “Our state government has pulled through and made this a priority,� Church said. However, donations from individuals and corporations have declined. The organization’s most high-profile fundraiser will be on May 3. The annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes has men in high heels and other women’s footwear awkwardly walking down Pacific Avenue. Church said having the event in such a public setting helps end the silence about the problem and gets men to discuss it with their sons. In June, it will offer a state-accredited, 32-hour training program on sexual assault awareness. Sessions will take place on June 18, 20, 25 and 27 at the Tacoma Police Department headquarters, located at 3701 S. Pine St. Deadline to register is June 12.

Guest Editorial

It is time for a more equitable tax structure By Jack Johnson Washington has always represented innovation and leadership. We are ahead of the majority of states in health care reform implementation. We are one of the first states to pass gay marriage by a ballot initiative. Our state is home to corporate giants like Starbucks, Amazon and Microsoft. However when it comes to taxes, we fall flat. The recent report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy finds that Washington’s tax system is the most regressive in the country and has the highest taxes on the poor. Our tax system has been the most regressive in the country for a while. I hope what is different this time around is the way our state responds and meets the challenge. By making the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share, we can ensure a more equitable tax system that works for everyone in our state. Ultimately it comes down to one argument: tax fairness. In Washington, the poorest 20 percent of residents (average annual income of $11,000) pay 16.9 percent of their income in state and local taxes, while the richest 1 percent (average income of $1.8 million) pay 2.8 percent. That means that those at the bottom of the income bracket are paying six times as much of their income in taxes than their wealthy counterparts. I have lived in Tacoma for nearly

30 years and am active in organizing the HIV/AIDS community. In the past few years I have seen devastating cuts to programs that serve as a lifeline to my community and I can honestly say that I am scared of what the future holds. Due to budget cuts, programs that provide medication and other assistance to my community have been scaled back. As a result, many of my friends and the people I work with are struggling to afford medication that can mean the difference between life and death. Yet each year, additional cuts are on the table. In order to fund the programs that keep our families healthy and our communities strong, we need to raise revenue and create a more just tax structure. It is alarming to me that legislators continue to prioritize providing tax breaks for things like private jets and cosmetic surgeries, but slash programs that provide life-sustaining medication to my friends and neighbors. Think about this. My friend who works full time, but still cannot afford his HIV medication, is paying a larger share of his income in taxes than someone like Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. Our communities have paid their fair share, yet they are the ones who suffer from budget cuts. With our state’s constant budget deficit, we cannot afford to be giving away billions of dollars that could be used to fund health care, education

and other important programs. Not to mention that the wealthy and large corporations do not need tax breaks. We are seeing the same trend at the federal level. Instead of discussing how to make the wealthy 2 percent and large corporations pay their fair share (closing loopholes and ending tax breaks for the rich would raise enough revenue to reduce the deficit), the debate is centered on cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. These are programs that hard-working families rely on. And cuts would have a devastating impact on seniors, kids, and families across the country. We cannot cut our way to prosperity. To create a strong economy, we need to ensure that families have the security, stability and resources they need to thrive. What makes more sense? Ending huge tax subsidies for oil companies making record profits, or making seniors pay more for Medicare? Taking away families’ health care or limiting tax deductions for the richest 2 percent? It is time for legislators to put the needs of our communities first. It is time to make the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share. Jack Johnson is a Tacoma resident. He is a member of Washington Community Action Network and is an AIDS activist and educator.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, “...unknown outside of that is the projected cost.� In other words: “We just yanked these numbers out of an elephant’s butt.� How can the Council trust ANY figures that are given to them by these people? Sound Transit has a running history of fabricating numbers and “facts� to sell their bill of goods to the highest, most gullible bidder. Look at the cost over-runs that they are STILL going through up in King County, for crying out loud. I say, stay as far away from this debacle as possible! Spend the money on sidewalks and street repair. There are people on North 21st Street that were promised back in 1947, that there would be sidewalks on the street “soon�. Those people are STILL waiting. Drop this hot potato and build our infrastructure to the quality we deserve and have paid for 1,000 times over! NO STREETCARS until we have sidewalks to walk on! Joe Cote’ - Tacoma Dear Editor, I agree with President Barack Obama’s decision to charge the Boston bombing suspect in civilian court. At this point in time, there is no evidence that the suspect was connected with al Qaeda or its affiliates, while there is an abundance of evidence that suggests he committed both state and federal crimes. There is no basis for him to be held as an enemy combatant at this time. Our civilian law enforcement and courts have a proven track record of success in crimes related to terrorism, and I have full confidence in their abilities. It is also critical that the suspect be interrogated to gain information and intelligence. We must ensure that we do all we can to understand the scope of the attacks and prevent a similar attack from happening again. U.S. Representative Adam Smith - (D-Bellevue) Dear Editor, I thoroughly enjoyed the article written by Kathleen Merryman concerning Tacoma’s National Guard Armory (“Tacoma’s Armory stands ready for a new future,� TW 3/15) The article was well researched and very well written. It was fascinating to review the history of this building with the wide range of activities that have taken place there, ranging from military and athletic events to concerts and everything in between. My own memories of the building go back 60 years to high school basketball games and all-city high school dances following the Grid-Go-Round. I also remember Golden Gloves tournaments, which attracted far more amateur boxers and fans than do those of more recent times. But my most intense memories of the building involve the professional boxing matches staged there in the mid-1950s,

as Tacoma’s Irish Pat McMurtry was beginning a career that would gain him world recognition in his sport. Thanks again to Merryman for brining the Armory’s current situation to our attention. It would be a real shame if this wonderful building, with all of its history, was allowed to fall into disrepair, or to be demolished. There has to be a means of creating a new use for the old Armory that will keep it from going the way of other former centralarea icons. I know that I will be joined by many other local residents in a feeling of relief and joy when a new use is found. What a wonderful coup it has been for Tacoma Weekly to obtain the writing contributions of Merryman. She is, without a doubt, the local equivalent of Idaho’s Bill Hall, who contributes weekly to your Tacoma competitor. She has brought a newspaper, which was already an outstanding read, to an even higher interest level. Congratulations. Gary M. Peterson - University Place Dear Editor, As more and more women return from the battlefield, the Veterans Administration system must be equipped for the unique challenges women veterans face as they step back into their lives as mothers, wives and citizens. When I reintroduced the Women Veterans and Other Health Care Improvement Act this Congress, I called on the Department of Veterans Affairs to make improvements to their women veterans contact center and I was pleased to see them take steps to do just that with the launch of the Women Veterans Call Center on April 23. This is a critical resource in order to make sure women veterans can get the information they need in order to access the VA health care and benefits they have earned. U.S. Senator Patty Murray - (D-Washington) Dear Editor, I was surprised to learn from the Friends Committee on National Legislation that 37 cents of every dollar we pay in federal income taxes goes to pay for current and past wars. At the same time, education, diplomacy and help to the nearly 100 million people living in poverty in this country get only pennies on every dollar. Right now, our members of Congress, Representative Derek Kilmer, Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, are hearing from the Pentagon that cutting into their projected spending will be a catastrophe for national security. With so much of our tax dollars already going to military projects, I think that it would be a catastrophe not to reshape our country’s budget to reflect our priorities as a nation. Congress has an opportunity, but will they take it? Jan Ellis - Gig Harbor

acoma City Council has a long tradition of thinking big when it comes to sparking economic development but lately the council has been straying from that tradition in ways that could result in a big lost opportunity for the city and surrounding areas. The council is primed to endorse the Link light rail expansion route that would run tracks from the Theater District station on Commerce up a looped hill around Stadium Way to Martin Luther King Jr. Way and 19th Street. The route would provide rail service from the Tacoma Dome to the “Medical Mile� anchored by MultiCare Health Systems and Franciscan Health System’s St. Joseph Hospital. Granted, this route has some merit since it would get rail service up the hillside, therefore providing a “backbone� for other expansions in the decades to come. Yes, economic development along the route will come, but the trouble with this route is that much, if not all, of that development will come anyway. The route runs through the Hilltop community, which has made large strides since the troubled 1980s and 1990s. Those days are gone. Hilltop is on the move to a bright future, so not running a rail link from downtown to the neighborhood won’t change that. In fact, residents of the area wanting better connection to downtown might actually suck neighborhood retail dollars out of the community because the Link would broaden their shopping options. At best, the MLK line would simply shuffle Hilltop spending to downtown and downtown dollars to the Hilltop. No new spending would be created. Tourists and their money won’t be drawn to the City of Destiny by faster access between Hilltop and downtown. The trouble with the MLK route is that a better option is out there, making the route not taken the MLK option’s biggest liability. The proposed Portland Avenue route would link the Theater District and downtown to large patches of undeveloped, yet commercially zoned, land along Portland Avenue, which is another neighborhood that is prime for growth. Routing the Link expansion to Portland Avenue would tie in the city’s Salishan planned community and development hubs. It would also help solve several lingering parking issues downtown – running a light rail line to Portland Avenue would provide parking for Tacoma Dome concerts and events as well as conferences and presentations at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center, both “economic development� projects that have fallen on hard times because of their lack of access to parking and hotel spaces. The Portland Avenue route would feature abundant parking at the Emerald Queen Casino, which has already stated its willingness to allow for event parking. The recent news that the Puyallup Tribe is set to break ground on what will be a $200 million complex, which will be a regional draw that could feed into Tacoma’s downtown. The Portland Avenue route connects low income and minority communities to downtown, it provides parking to Dome and convention activities. It is under the projected $150 million budget, and it opens up large swaths of land awaiting a spark for redevelopment. Acres of high density and commercially zoned land, with quick access to the Tideflats and I-5, are found in the city. They are along the Portland route. Running a line along this strip could transform the city. The Portland route would also provide a basis for future expansion to eventually connect Tacoma to SeaTac International Airport with a tie-in to the Federal Way to SeaTac Sounder line. For a city that talks about “regionalism� and “connections,� it is odd that it would back a route that really does none of that at the cost of a route not taken that would.

WILSON HOLDS ON TO EARLY LEAD AGAINST STADIUM

Young Rams eyeing spot at state

STADIUM HANGS ON TO TOP GIG HARBOR Bellarmine Prep falls to Central Kitsap By Jeremy Helling jeremy@tacomaweekly.com

harging out to a 3-0 lead behind two first-half goals from Max Harvey, Stadium looked as if it was easily going to claim a big win over first-place Gig Harbor. But the Tides charged back with two goals in the second half, and the Tigers survived some tense final minutes to escape with a 3-2 win on April 23 at Stadium Bowl. “We were losing focus, but we managed to keep it together until the end,” said Harvey. Harvey got the Tigers started quickly in the third minute, corralling a free kick and booting it in for a 1-0 lead. The Tides had several opportunities to answer, including Bjorn Brynestad’s shot from 15 yards out in the 18th minute that sailed just right and Davis McCall’s header that was just left of goal two minutes later. Harvey then doubled the Tigers’ lead in the 23rd minute after taking a pass, switching directions to cross up a defender and driving a low shot into the left side. “I wanted to score,” Harvey said of his mindset going into the key match. “I was kind of looking for the chances, and looking for the quick balls in behind to get me close to the goal.” Garrett Harp gave Stadium a 3-0 lead in the 34th minute, sending a follow-up shot into an empty net after Jacob Beardemphl’s shot was deflected out. But Gig Harbor started quickly in the second half, as McCall drove a header into the right netting off a corner in the 46th minute. “We came out a little flat, they got that first goal and the momentum just changed,” said Stadium head coach Adam Becker. “They had it the whole second half.” Indeed, the Tides brought most of the pressure in the second period, leaving the Tigers scrambling to thwart off offensive attacks. Gig Harbor cut it to 3-2 in the 62nd minute when Jon Brown sent a low pass in the box to Tanner Stepp, who finished it in front of goal. That seemed to be enough to wake up the Tigers a bit, as they escaped any more serious threats and were able to retain possession to run out the final minutes. The win put the Tigers just one point behind first-place Central Kitsap in the Narrows 4A, but Stadium has played one less match than the Cougars. “I don’t think it’s going to change our mindset, because we’ve been winning and beating the best teams in the league,” Harvey said of the big X See SOCCER / page A9

Sporting a young starting lineup, Wilson girls water polo coach John Orlando saw the need to continue to get his first group extensive experience at Stadium. His team responded, as senior Pearl Kahle and freshman Karli Stevenson scored three goals apiece to lead the Rams to a 7-4 win over the Tigers on April 18. “I didn’t sub any players,” said Orlando, who also serves as the executive director of Tacoma Water Polo Club. “I left all six of my girls in the whole time. We’re starting three freshmen right now. They need the game experience, so we decided just to work on things.” Kahle started the scoring midway through the first quarter, getting the Rams on the board with a point-blank shot into the right netting. Stevenson followed two minutes later with a goal on a breakaway to make it 2-0. But the Tigers held tough, as sophomore keeper Chloe Brick had four key saves in the first quarter to keep them in it. Senior Rachel Clark then got Stadium on the board with a long-range goal with 22 seconds left in the opening period. The Tigers’ Nicole Soriano tied it a minute into the second quarter, sending a shot off Wilson keeper Lindsey Norden and in. “I always tell them if you don’t take shots you can’t score,” said Stadium head coach Virginia Larson. “It’s a really even distribution with our girls. Everybody tries to take shots, not just one girl.” But Stevenson responded less than a minute later, regaining the lead for Wilson with a goal from the left side, sending it past Brick and into the right netting. Norden came up big late in the first half for the Rams, saving shots by Soriano and Maddie Lackman, while Clark also had a shot go off the post. Kahle added her second goal four minutes into the third quarter, and Stevenson followed 40 seconds later with her third tally off a nice pass from Norden to make it 5-2. Stadium’s Megan Winje cut it to 5-3 with a goal with 5:40 left in the final quarter, but Kahle answered with her final goal just over a minute later, and freshman Kelsey Viehmann scored with 2:49 left to give the Rams some breathing room at 7-3. The Tigers created late pressure, and Amber Longrie struck for a goal with just over a minute remaining, but Stadium was unable to close the gap any further. The win put Wilson at 8-3 overall and 7-2 in league play, which was good for second place. Were they to stay in that position, they would sew up a spot at the state tournament, which takes place on May 15-18 at Rogers High School, Lakes High School and Curtis High School.

WILSON TAKES THE BIG STAGE Rams fall to Nathan Hale at Safeco Field

Larsen fires a pitch against the Raiders. By Jeremy Helling jeremy@tacomaweekly.com

Every baseball player dreams of one day playing in a major league ballpark, but few get the opportunity to actually fulfill it. The Wilson Rams got that unique opportunity on April 20, travelling up to Safeco Field to take on Nathan Hale in the High School Baseball Classic. And while the 6-0 loss to Nathan Hale was less then satisfying on the field, the experience was worth it. “It’s amazing. It’s once in a lifetime,” said Wilson senior catcher Nate Sandoval. “We’ve been looking forward to this every day. It’s exciting to be here.” The imposing, unfamiliar environment – sporting a capacity of more than 54,000 – might have caused a bit of nerves, as

the Rams threatened offensively in nearly every inning but were unable to break through. “It’s definitely jaw dropping,” said Wilson head coach Doug Rupe of playing at Safeco. “We stranded 11 guys (on base). I was hoping to have a little bit more of a competitive game. When it’s all said and done, they all will be able to say that ‘I played at Safeco Field.’” The Raiders got on the board in the top of the first on Emerson Rowe’s single that scored Steven Richards. Wilson starter Peter Larsen then settled into a groove, and looked as if he would cruise through the third inning until Matt Jarvis reached on an error. That started a three-run rally, as Spencer Shangrow had a two-run single and Anthony Vadino followed with a runscoring single to make it 4-0. The Rams

looked to respond in the bottom half, loading the bases when Thomas Norisahn singled, Brady O’Keefe was hit by a pitch and Jared Horner walked with two outs. But Raiders starter Grant Turville escaped the threat by striking out Matt Stortini. “We could have produced more runs,” Sandoval said. “We left a couple runners on. It is what it is.” The Raiders added two more unearned runs off Robbie Rhoads in the fourth, as Steven Richards scored on an error and Aaron Mandell scored on Joe Katz’s sacrifice fly. Sandoval then doubled to lead off the Rams’ fourth and advanced to third when Evan Stout reached on an error with two outs, but Nathan Hale reliever Jimmy Truong escaped the threat by fielding Santana Johnson’s grounder and throwing him out at first. The Rams

had another chance to break through in the sixth when Rhoads walked, Cameron Ficca singled and the duo advanced to second and third with two outs, but the Raiders again escaped with a ground out. O’Keefe, meanwhile, provided a bright spot for the Rams on the mound by coming on in the fifth to pitch three perfect innings, tallying five strikeouts. The nonleague loss meant nothing to Wilson’s postseason chances, as at 3-6 in the Narrows 3A they are still well in the hunt for a playoff spot. “We have to show a little bit of heart,” Rupe said. “We’ve got to come up with some two-out hits. Not only is that going to help the momentum offensively, it’s going to take us right into the defensive game…we have to keep momentum on our side.”

T

he Baker Bulldogs had been through the scenario before, but with a less positive outcome. Down 12-0 early in the first half to Giaudrone, the Bulldogs came up big this time, fighting back to take a 13-12 win over the Huskies at home on April 19. “One of the fundamentals we’re trying to work on with these kids is to not give up,â€? said Baker head coach Karl Berggren, noting a loss to Stewart in the first game of the season in which his squad went down 12-0 early. “Today was the perfect situation‌they finally got their minds to understand they can come back from anything.â€? Baker seemed to grab the momentum after their first offensive possession, as the Bulldogs’ Alijah Sokimi dove for an interception at Baker’s five-yard line on Giaudrone’s first play. But the Huskies got the ball back, and quarterback Tristan Kwon snuck in from three yards out after a four-play drive to make it 6-0 late in the first quarter. Cavon Holden quickly got the ball back for the Huskies on their own 30-yard line with an athletic interception, and two plays later D.J. Auston – who finished with 96 yards rushing – sprinted

71 yards almost untouched down the right sideline to make it 12-0. But the Bulldogs got a key score just before halftime, launching an 11-play, 62-yard drive capped by Braxton Ballard-Swenson’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Trenton Mitchell on 4th-and-8 with under a minute left. The Baker defense then stepped up in the second half, forcing a turnover on downs on Giaudrone’s first possession after the Huskies had driven past midfield. “We started to bring our blitzes and our attack, and started to bring plays that they weren’t quite sure what to do with,� Berggren said. “We knew we needed to bring our style of defense back.� Mitchell – who finished with 14 carries for 98 yards – led the Bulldogs back down the field, capping an eight-play drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge on the first play of the first quarter to give Baker their first lead at 13-12. “I knew I was going to get it,� Mitchell said. “I was a little worried because I saw them stacked up, but I was like ‘I’m going to get in there.’� After Giaudrone drove to the Bulldogs’ 42-yard line with three minutes left, Baker

forced an incompletion on fourth down and was then able to run out the clock. By Jeremy Helling

It had been a tough road this season for the Truman Titans and head coach Amad Robinson, having lost consecutive games by seven and three points, respectively. But things finally went their way at home on April 19, as Jordan Lacy-Spaulding ran for 116 yards and a touchdown to propel the Titans to their first win of the season, a 20-14 triumph over the Gray Pilots. “This season has been one of a lot of growing pains for our young team,� said Robinson, a former two-way standout at Wilson High School. “We have only 4 kids with any kind of football-playing experience.� But Truman dominated play early, with Lacy-Spaulding doing the bulk of the work. The Titans got on the board early in the first quarter when quarterback Emmitt Matthews hit Spencer Roller with a 10-yard touch down pass, and Alexander Greenleaf made the point after for a 7-0 Truman lead. While Lacy-Spaulding would grab most

of the attention in the first half, the Truman defense did their part too, as Gray quarterback Donald Scott Jr. went 0-for-5 with an interception. The Titans picked up where they left of in the third quarter, driving 48 yards in eight plays, with quarterback Alex Motonaga hitting Nick Kolterman with a 26-yard scoring strike to make it 14-0. Lacy-Spaulding would put the icing on the cake in the fourth quarter with a 32-yard touchdown run, dodging five Gray defenders during the play. The Pilots made a late comeback charge, as Scott Jr. hit Michael Nelson with a 54-yard touchdown pass to trim the Titan lead to 20-14 late in the fourth quarter. But the Titans would recover an onside kick with 10 seconds left to preserve the win. Lacy-Spaulding, who is still relatively new to his position, talked about adapting to running back and the season to this point. “I’m not real big, as far as running backs go,� he said, “but I’m getting used to position real fast. “This (win) was huge, our offensive line gave me some great running lanes today and I’m hoping to carry this into the last game of the season.� By Steve Mullen

After winning three of their previous five matches, Bellarmine Prep had quickly jumped back into the playoff conversation in the Narrows 4A. But the young Lions hit a speed bump against first-place Central Kitsap on April 23, surrendering two late goals in the first half and falling 4-1 at home to the Cougars. “We made way too many defensive errors that ended up in goals,� said Bellarmine head coach Joe Waters. “We’ve got to get better at that.� The Lions held the Cougars scoreless through 20 minutes, but Central Kitsap’s Kurt Koemmpel got his squad on the board on a low shot past Bellarmine keeper Jacob Hillyer in the 21st minute. But junior Drew Barker answered two

minutes later for the Lions, driving a shot into the right side from 20 yards out to tie it up. Eric Musica nearly gave the Lions the lead in the 27th minute with a nice header off Barker’s cross, but Cougars keeper Lorenzo Alvarenga leaped in the air to save it. Koemmpel then regained the lead for the Cougars in the 30th minute by driving a ball into the right netting off a tough angle from the left side.

unable to clear. Koemmpel then collected the hat trick by finishing a nice pass from Cameron Watson 10 minutes into the second half, putting the game out of reach. The Lions still had several chances to dent the scoreboard again, as Shane Hallahan sent a nice pass to Musica in the 59th minute, but Alvarenga deflected the shot. Bellarmine captain Connor Thompson flashed some nifty moves in the 71st minute, crossing up three Central Kitsap defenders on the edge of the box, but Alvarenga was

again up to the challenge and blocked his shot out of play. The loss left the Lions in fifth place in the Narrows 4A standings, trailing South Kitsap by just three points in the quest for a playoff berth. “You have to learn from it and move on,� Waters said. “Our goal is to try and make the playoffs. We knew it was going to be difficult. The teams we’re playing against are all good teams, they’ve all got experienced players. We’ll just keep battling on and trying to get things right.�

W State Farm a claims center this fall. “We are excited to welcome State Farm and look forward to their arrival,� said Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland in a statement regarding the expansion news. “The presence of a Fortune 50 company adds to the increasing vitality of the downtown core. The city continues to invest in the community with its support of entrepreneurial and small business development, exciting mobility improvements like the Link light rail expansion and the Pacific Avenue Streetscape project. This is not just a downtown win. It’s a win for our entire community.� Hiring the initial 300 employees is set to start this summer. Projections put full employment levels at about 1,200 people. That’s about the workforce size of its regional operations center in DuPont. Even more jobs could follow as the company expands its local operations. The rate of new hiring after the initial 300 will be based on market demand. Already a presenting sponsor of LeMay: America’s Car Museum, State Farm will likely find itself sponsoring other local events and causes, given its track record in other communities. “We take our social responsibility very seriously,� company spokesman Brad Hilliard said. “We want to support what our customers support.� Noting the obvious effects of a new corporate neighbor in Tacoma’s struggling downtown retail and commercial market, Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy said the news was further evidence that recovery from the “Great Recession� has taken root in the South Sound. “Pierce County welcomes State Farm’s decision to open an initial loss reporting center in downtown Tacoma. This follows Amazon’s recent decision to build in DuPont. In Frederickson, a company called FPS/EnCon is preparing to build the concrete rings that will line the new SR-99 tunnel in Seattle. Thousands of jobs are being added to our local economy, which continues to demonstrate that this is a great place to live, work and play,� she said in a statement. “Lots of people

worked together to make these successes a reality, including property owners, local cities and the Economic Development Board for Tacoma-Pierce County. And they’re not done. We continue to work with them on other opportunities to attract great companies to the area.� The move is already paying dividends for city coffers, with the City Council approving Tuesday a parking deal that will lease 800 parking permits at three city-owned garages downtown for State Farm workers during the next five years, adding $4.2 million to the city’s budget. The garages currently average only about half full, but the deal will boost that to about 80 percent of capacity. Budget watchers know what that means. The deals end the $850,000 subsidy Tacoma’s General Fund provided to the city’s parking fund as well as wipes out about half of the parking system’s $5 million debt. The deals, negotiated by real estate broker Neil Walter Co. and a partnership that includes Illahie Holdings, which owns the former Russell building, come to about $60 per permit, which is slightly below market rate but fills stalls in under-used facilities and helps shore up the city’s parking fund.

the spot. She moved up through office manager, bookkeeper, organizer, field rep. Then, 10 years ago, she was asked to run for her current position. She said no. It would mean more work and less money. No. Then someone told her she could be Pierce County Central Labor Council’s first female secretary/treasurer. “Oh, why did you have to tell me that?� she pleaded, then ran and won. No one has run against her since. She is, she said, a collaborator, a person who can help machinists, nurses, printers, roofers, builders and grocery workers find their common interests. She uses the same approach with some of unions’ traditional opponents. “I’m not adversarial,� Rose said. “I’ll meet with Tom Pierson at the Chamber, for instance. We know we’re not going to agree on everything, but where can we agree? We agree that finishing SR167 is vital to our community.� So they work together on that. She brings unions’ commitment to

apprenticeships with the Work Force Development Council. “These lead to good careers with family wages and pensions, a life of dignity in retirement,� she said. And a life of accountability, generosity and engagement. Pierce County unions, from those representing social workers and teachers to longshoremen and electricians, are advocating for maintaining threatened early childhood education funding. “Study after study shows that every $1 spent now represents $17 saved down the road,� Rose said. The fight aims to give kids born into poverty a fighting chance to bust out. Pierce County union members go bowling once a year to support the Jerry Beckendorf Community Service Scholarship, for which Rose developed an endowment. Since 1985, it has given out $52,720 in scholarships. Local union resources, from counseling services to help fighting foreclosures, have proved crucial, as the lousy economy has overwhelmed other programs. Union volunteers have helped preserve some of the fun, including the

Councilmembers David Boe, Marty Campbell and Joe Lonergan endorsed the route that would run to Portland Avenue and East 44th Street or its hybrid connection that would run to Portland Avenue and East 25th Street. The main difference between the route camps is the projected economic development potential of the routes. MLK backers saw the Hilltop neighborhood as being prime for development that would be brought faster and bigger with the rail line running through it. Portland route backers say their route would potentially provide huge economic development because of its large collection of vacant land that is already zoned for commercial use and is complete with quick Interstate 5 access.

Taste of Tacoma, which is wired compliments of union electricians. Rose takes part in all of this. “Don’t ask someone to do something you’re not willing to do yourself,� she said. She has worked phone banks and food banks, lobbied in Olympia, climbed scaffolding to Paint Tacoma Beautiful. She serves on 14 boards. Now, she is the Peanut Butter Queen. Each year, union members compete to see who can haul the most union-made Jif peanut butter into Rose’s office. The goal is to fill it, then deliver the jars to Emergency Food Network, where peanut butter is on the most-wanted list because a hungry child can make a sandwich on her own. The total last year: 2,031 jars. The goal this year: More. Union workers, who, on average, earn 20 to 30 percent more than nonunion workers here, can afford the modest generosity of an extra jar of protein. They can make the time to coach and tutor and mentor and volunteer in their neighborhoods. That is the culture Joseph A. Beirne imagined. That is the culture Patty Rose has helped build.

routes serve minority and disadvantaged residents, a key factor in the Link routing decision that will soon go to the Sound Transit board for a final vote. A stakeholders group of business and civic leaders, including the Puyallup Tribe, endorsed the route that was a second choice for many council members. The least expensive of the hybrid routes would be to MLK and 6th Avenue at $130 million, followed by MLK and South 11th Street at $160 million or all the way to South 19th Street for $171 million with the route to Portland Avenue and East 25th Street staying the same. The Portland Avenue route to East 44th Street would cost $119 million. Running rail from the Theater District Station to MLK would cost $133 million. The target budget for an expansion route is $150 million that would include $50 million in Sound Transit dollars, $50 million in federal grants and $50 million in “local partnership� funding.

BONADUCE

FUNNY MAN. Former “Partridge

Family” star Danny Bonaduce – and today the star of “The Danny Bonaduce Show” mornings on KZOK-FM (102.5) – hosts the first Sunday of each month at Tacoma Comedy Club.

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Danny Bonaduce decides to tell the tranny hooker story tonight. The 53-year-old former child actor turned reality TV star and Seattle disc jockey is onstage at Tacoma Comedy Club, and the incident is already familiar to many that have kept up with his tabloid-worthy antics over the years. Bonaduce was arrested in 1991 for assaulting and robbing a transvestite prostitute, after leading Phoenix police on a high-speed chase. It is the type of episode that might come up during a parole hearing or a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. But he dresses his sordid memory up with enough quirky detail and self-deprecating humor to cash it in for laughs. “There’s a kind of transvestite that isn’t trying to trick anybody,” he said, in a gravelly voice that is all too familiar to morning listeners to KZOK-FM (102.5). “I look over and ‘she’ has a five o’clock shadow. I’m not startled. I’m bummed. I was hoping for something else.” Bonaduce has been hosting the first Sunday of each month at Tacoma Comedy Club. He does not so much write jokes as revisit wild exploits – the drug arrests, the brawls – that have made it harder and harder to believe he once played lovable Danny Partridge. Backstage with his wife, Amy, Bonaduce is polite and personable, belying the reputation he has developed – thanks, largely, to VH1’s “Breaking Bonaduce” – as a half-cocked wing-nut. But there are dark, disturbing memories just under the surface, still shaping his worldview. As our interview begins, he recalls a time, after the luster of starring in “The Partridge Family” had faded, that he found himself lost and desperate on the streets of Los Angeles. Bonaduce: I had no possessions, and no money, and no way to get money. I was as poor as you could get. It’s weird. I’ve done very, very, very well for myself in the last 20 years. But you can’t wash the taste of homelessness out of your mouth. There is nothing scarier, nothing scarier, than an abandoned building in the middle of the night. On those ghost shows [he knocks on a nearby table], “What was that? Did you hear that? Goodness gracious.” I always want to get up and go, “You want me to show you something scary? Let me take you to an abandoned building on Yucca, in Hollywood. And when you hear (knocks) it’s alive, and it wants something from you.”

That is scary. Tacoma Weekly: When was that? Bonaduce: Between 19 and 24. Man, I’m tellin’ you, when they take your house and you’ve got nowhere to be, I’ve got no reason to have a recollection of exactly when that was. Actually, that’s in my book (“Random Acts of Badness,” Hyperion, 2002) and they really wanted more specifics. I said, “I can’t help you. I don’t know where I was or when.”

TW: What stands out most from that time period? Bonaduce: From homelessness? Fear. It’s really, really scary. There’s no bond or anything weird like that, or whatever you see in the movies. There’s just people that want what you have in your shopping cart more than you want what you have in your shopping cart. I don’t think I’ve said this before. I got to be, actually, a dangerous human being around that time. ... Plus, I was recognizable. I was ashamed of myself. But the people that were in the abandoned buildings with me and stuff like that, they could just schitz out. They could be crazy. Actually, 70 percent of the time they were screaming at a woman, “I’ll kill you. I’ll murder you. I’ll cut your throat.” There was no chick there. They were frightening. So everything about homelessness was scary. TW: From the period you were describing, what was the turning point that brought you back? Bonaduce: Um, employment. Money. … A place to be every single day, and people in suits and ties that told me, “I’ve never seen anything like you.” They were proud of me. I work hard, man – even when I don’t have to. I work people to death. That’s how I got where I am. I worked until people dropped. I’m not that funny or that talented. At a comedy club, that’s probably a bad thing to say, “I’m not that funny.” But on the radio, you know, there’s people better than I am, and I beat them all. It’s ‘cause I don’t sleep. I was gonna say, “I don’t sleep.” And (to his wife) how long has it been since I’ve eaten? Amy Bonaduce: About a week. Bonaduce: Yeah, sometimes I just decide, “What

are you made of? Don’t eat for a week.” TW: For about the past year and a half you have been in Seattle. How did you end up there? Bonaduce: CBS (Radio) asked me. Nothing fascinating. What’s fascinating to me, anyway, is how much I like it. I have full-blown back piece of the skyline – a tattoo on my back – of Seattle. TW: When did you get that? Bonaduce: The last sitting was yesterday – no, day before yesterday. TW: You have done radio for a while. What stands out about this market and the fans versus Philly or other places you have worked? Bonaduce: I was born in Philly. They always say you meet the same people on the way up as you meet on the way down. I really can’t tell you and feel safe about my friends in Philadelphia if I tell you the difference between Seattle and Philadelphia. Let’s just say … people in Seattle are really, really smart. They make a lot of money. They read a lot of books. They know how to do really interesting things on computers. ... They don’t have a lot of man caves and over 35-year-olds [tries to think of a video game console.] If I say Atari, she’s gonna laugh at me again, ‘cause that’s old. I asked to borrow her Walkman. What was it? Amy: He calls the computer a typewriter. Bonaduce: I’m a thousand years old. Blow me! (To interviewer.) Not you. Although, you are adorable. TW: No, thank you. Bonaduce: But what was the thing when we were livin’ together? Amy: You meant iPod, and you said Walkman. Bonaduce: I asked to borrow her Walkman, and she laughed at me like I was a thousand years old. That’s still a viable thing. People have them. They do! Somebody somewhere in an antique store has a Walkman. Leave me be. TW: What is next? Do you have new projects coming up that you want to tell your fans about? Bonaduce: I can’t tell you what it is, ‘cause every “I” isn’t dotted, every “T” isn’t crossed. But I’ve sold a 10-episode series that shoots in Tacoma. TW: Really? What’s it called? Bonaduce: I can’t, ‘cause until the cameras are rolling and the checks are clearing it could fall apart. It’s show business, man. But they love it. Just tell ‘em I sold a 10-episode show that shoots in Tacoma. I can’t (say more.) It’s not a reality show. But it’s all real. It’s not scripted. (But) that stuff can fall apart on ya.

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.

Support For Our Native Community With more than 4,400 Puyallup tribal members locally and across the country, and an Indian community of 22,000 in the tricounty area, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians takes great pride in continuing its ancestral ways by caring for all of its membership. The Tribe stays united and strong by ensuring every member has the opportunity for good health, a safe and clean home, educational advancement and financial security. When it comes to social services for its membership, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for all governments. During 2012, the Tribe spent more than $100 million on social service programs such as funeral assistance, energy and crisis assistance, small business start-up grants, assistance to members who are veterans, and per capita distributions. The majority of these funds are subsequently spent in the local economy. Caring for its elders is a top priority for the Tribe, with $3.6 million spent last year on elder care services. A major way the Puyallups treasure their elders is through the Elders Center House of Respect. The beautifully constructed center opened in 2009 to offer a variety of health and recreational options for Puyallup elders over 45 – a dining hall, stateof-the-art kitchen, relaxation areas, workout facility, spa, massage room, activity rooms for classes such as quilting and crafting, and a tranquil outdoor “Spirit Garden.� Youth are a top priority for the Tribe as well. The Tribe works in many ways to proactively instill positive values in its youth as early as possible, and a focal point of this effort is the Puyallup Tribal Community Center. During the past year, the Center underwent a $7 million renovation. This nearly completed facility is approximately 34,000 square feet, including a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility will also accommodate gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals, and cultural activities. The Tribe’s Chief Leschi School offers a Native-focused academic environment for children in pre-kindergarten through high school. In 2011, approximately 770 students were enrolled in grades K-12 and 130 in preschool classes. The school was founded in 1976 with the mission to “educate students in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect,� to promote a lifelong love of learning, and to

inspire in them a commitment to being valuable, contributing citizens of both their tribal and civic communities. The Tribe recently invested more than $8 million for athletic fields accommodating football, soccer, track and field events, with synthetic grass on the infield and natural grass on the outfield. The Puyallup Tribe also ensures that higher education funding is available for its membership. In 2011, the Tribe assisted more than 285 Tribal members with tuition assistance, books, and tutoring—many of these members attended local colleges and universities. Educational incentives are also available for members with good grades and attendance. Everyone deserves a comfortable home to live in, and the Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority strive to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing for qualified low-income tribal members and other Indians. During 2011, the Housing Authority spent more than $7 million on providing housing assistance to 150 households, which included nearly $4 million in construction costs for the Northeast Gym/Commons building, which is part of the recently completed Phase 1 Longhouse project in Northeast Tacoma. This Longhouse project provided 10 new townhomes built in an energy efficient manner (LEED Platinum status) and culturally relevant to the community. This visionary project has received national and international recognition. Phase II will be complete in May, to house another 10 families. The Tribe’s Grandview Early Learning Center provides quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community and during 2011 served more than 100 families and 200 children. The Tribe’s Health Authority opened in 1974 and today offers a wide variety of services annually to a patient population of more than 9,000 from more than 200 tribes. Services provided include medical, dental, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, mental health and counseling, tobacco cessation programs, problem gambling programs, and alcohol and drug treatment programs, In a time of reduced federal, state, and local government spending, the Puyallup Tribe has created a self-sustaining model for its government, its people and the future of the larger community throughout the reservation and beyond.

n outstanding Tacoma band is poised to make some real waves in a worldwide music competition, and they need your help to make it to the winner’s circle. Thousands of bands entered and 20 bands competed locally. The results are in and Tacoma’s own Sevens Revenge has won the local round of Hard Rock Rising – the global battle of the bands! Of the 97 cities across eight countries that held the competition, Seattle/Tacoma had the most competing bands in this region at 2O.

ell Tacoma, maybe we just can’t have nice things... Earlier this month, vandals toppled one of the 20 bronze and Plexiglas pillars that comprise the fountain-sculpture called “Water Forest” that graces the plaza between the Thea Foss Waterway and the entry to the Museum of Glass (MOG). So ends a good run of four trouble-free years in the 11-year span of Water Forest’s very troubled existence. The work was originally installed in 2002 to coincide with the grand opening of MOG. Renowned Rhode Island artist Howard Ben Tre’ designed the work (at a cost of $208,000) as a conceptual link between MOG and the nearby waterway. The design was 20 pillars that were half bronze and half glass arranged in circles around a round platform. Water would flow in perpetuity down the surface of these proud tubes. At night they would glow green (like irradiated glass rods of a nuclear reactor, perhaps). Shortly after installation, however, the delicate nature of the art was brought home when a boy – a bumpkin – bumped into it while “rough housing” and damaged it. The work was promptly removed from the site and the pieces trundled off to storage where they were to reside for the next seven long years while the minds of MOG and sundry city officials could

determine whether the work could be reengineered and salvaged. In June of 2009 (and $174,000 later), “Water forest” was restored. Instead of fragile glass, the clear portions of the towers were made of safer Plexiglas. The towers were bolted firmly in place and rods were installed inside each tube to provide additional strength. The tubes are still lit with the atomic green glow at night. It seems more than a little ironic that this icon in front of the Museum of Glass has no glass left in it. The sculpture has been functioning flawlessly since its 2009 reintroduction to the public. It has been able to become a beloved piece of civic furniture; until early this month that is. That is when some troglodyte that crawled out of the shadows wreaked a deliberate act of vandalism upon the public art. One of the 20 towers was pushed over - this time not by accident but as a deliberate act. “It took a lot of effort,” noted Tacoma Arts Administrator Amy McBride. “They had to work really hard to push that over.” The city acted swiftly. The broken tower was removed and the water line that fed it was shut off. The remaining 19 towers are still working fine. The fate of the art now remains uncertain. Is the damage to be repaired yet again? What will be the bill this time? Or is the sculpture to stay damaged but working for the next seven years, greeting visitors to the city like a big smile with one tooth missing?

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

HISTORIC HOMES OF TACOMA Annual event will feature North End highlights

Vaeth House

T

acoma Historical Society’s home tour will bring people into houses in Stadium District and the North Slope this year. The annual event will take place on May 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on May 5 from 1-5 p.m. It is the group’s major fundraiser of the year. Tickets cost $20 and can be purchased at Pacific Northwest Shop, Stadium Thriftway, and Columbia Bank branches in Fircrest, at the intersection of North 21st and Pearl streets and at the corner of South 19th Street and Union Avenue. They can also be purchased at First Presbyterian Church the days of the tour. First Presbyterian Church

This church, located at Division and Tacoma avenues, will serve as the reception center. It was established in 1873 and members worshipped in several buildings over a course of many years. Planning for the current building began in 1921. Designed by Boston church architect Ralph Adams Cram, this masterpiece in Romanesque architecture has an 1,100-seat sanctuary, 250-seat chapel, social halls and educational spaces for Sunday and weekday activities. The building is rich in Christian symbolism expressed in stone, wood, stained glass and mosaic. Stadium High School

Tacoma Land Co. began construction in 1890 of what was to be a grand hotel. The architects were Hewitt & Hewitt. The work was well along when the Panic of 1893 put a permanent halt to construction. In 1898 a fire of unknown origin destroyed the wooden portions of the structure, leaving just the foundation and brick walls standing. In 1903 demolition of the structure, primarily to salvage the bricks, stopped when Tacoma School Board decided to convert the unfinished hotel into a high school. Renowned Tacoma architect Frederick Heath designed a building in French-chateau style. Construction contractor George Evans started the work in 1905; and the new school opened on Sept. 10, 1906. Heath designed the adjacent Stadium Bowl. In an $88 million project, Stadium underwent major renovation in 2005–06. The entire interior of the “Castle” was removed, and new girders and floors were installed at each story of the building. Metzger House

In 1901 famed Tacoma architects Ambrose J. Russell and Frederick Heath designed this foursquare house for Alfred F. and Emily Metzger. The contractors were Campbell and Miller. The stately 3,376-square-foot house retains its original hipped roof and dormers, as well as the paired Doric columns that grace the entry portico. Alfred Metzger was the chief deputy at the Pierce County Treasurer’s Office. The Metzgers lived here until 1942, when it was sold to Thomas M. and Irene Barnwell. Thomas was a circulation manager for Tacoma News Tribune. In 1993, the home was purchased by its current owner, who has done extensive restoration. The large entry has its original fir woodwork and fir floors. The living room to the left has pocket doors to close it off from both the entry and the dining room. The drumhead chandelier in the living room dates from the 1920s. The fireplace has Roman brick facing and a craftsman-style mantel. To the right of the entry, what was originally a music room has new French doors. The dining room has a bay window and a built-in buffet with leaded-glass windows in the china cabinets. The light fixture, originally operated with gas and now reworked for electric lights, was moved to the dining room from an upstairs bedroom. The dining-room walls are painted in the original color. The large clock is from Germany and was built in 1790. The kitchen has been opened up by exposing the back stairway. The pantry cupboard, original to the house, was relocated during remodeling. The three-quarter bath on the main floor features wainscoting that was reused from the kitchen.

In 1898, Richard and Louise Vaeth had this 6,207square-foot home constructed for $16,000 in a simplified Queen Anne style that incorporates Romanesque elements. Architect Ambrose J. Russell combined a cylindrical Queen Anne turret and bay windows with a complementary half-octagon veranda featuring paired Doric columns above a stone foundation with Romanesque arches and iron grilles. The prominent chimney has inset windows flanking the flues. The ornate, ornamental garlands that originally circled the home at the top of the second floor were removed a number of years ago. In 1906 Vaeth built the first concrete garage in Tacoma, having the contractor dig into the embankment on the west side of the property. Vaeth was a successful jeweler, operating a high-end retail store on Pacific Avenue, the president of Pacific Coast Gypsum Manufacturing Co. and a director of the National Bank of Commerce. The Vaeths sold the home in 1919. The interior retains almost all of its original décor, including rich oak wainscoting and woodwork on the first two floors. The vestibule, its original tile floor, opens to the entry parlor, which features a brick fireplace with an ornate, carved oak mantel. The large drawing room is accessed from the parlor through a wide graceful arch. The massive drawing room fireplace and carved oak mantel is the dominant feature of the room. The three chandeliers are original. The library has its own fireplace and built-in leadedglass bookcases. The living room’s bay window and its built-in seating overlook the veranda. The dining room has built-in cupboards with leaded-glass doors. Petrich House

Hervey M. and Marie C. Petrich had this 4,169square-foot contemporary home built in 1959 by Tacoma architect Jim Petrich (no relation). Hervey was the son of Martin A. Petrich, who founded Western Boat Company in Tacoma in 1913. The firm was known especially for its tuna boats and for its Fairliner pleasure boats. Hervey, together with his brothers Allen, James, Jack and Martin Jr., was associated with Western Boat his entire career. Marie was active in the community, serving on the boards of Bellarmine, Aquinas and St. Patrick schools. Hervey and Marie traveled the world in pursuit of business for Western Boat. The daughter of Hervey and Marie now owns the home. The home, on two levels, is a fine example of midcentury architecture and features subtle oriental and shipbuilding details. Sliding panels with opaque panes in the Japanese manner, including the panels that, when extended, close off the entry from the living room, are a recurring theme in the home. The posts of the railings shielding the stairway to the lower level incorporate rectangular brass posts, a shipbuilding element repeated in the legs of the dining-room table. The table was custombuilt for the home. The living room and dining room have bamboo floors. The living room has window walls that take advantage of the view and a large fireplace with a striking stone surround of sandstone and basalt. The “couch” in the living room is actually an elephant saddle from Thailand. The dining room can be shut off from the living room with three sliding panels. The wood of the dining-room table matches that of the built-in buffet. The painting in the dining room is by Paul Horiuchi. The spacious L-shaped kitchen has a large table as well as a sitting area and a fireplace with a copper hood. The panels at the end of the sitting area open to the garden area beyond. A half bath with a copper sink is opposite the laundry room and small butler’s pantry. Pratt House

Judge William H. Calkins had two threestory Queen-Anne-style homes built in 1891 at 323 and 321 N. ‘J’ St. for $6,000. He moved into 323 N. ‘J’ St., rented the other house to William Effinger and William Ott for a short time, then sold the home to LeRoy and Elizabeth Pratt in 1892. Calkins had been appointed a Washington Territory Superior Court Judge in 1888. Calkins died in 1894. (The house at 323 N. ‘J’ St. was demolished in the

mid-1970s and replaced with a four-plex.) Pratt was the vice president of Garretson, Woodruff & Pratt, a wholesale dry goods firm. He was later treasurer and general manager of Peoples Store. When Elizabeth Pratt died of typhoid fever in 1907 at age 38, Pratt retired from Peoples and devoted himself to investing. He added a garage behind the home. He died in 1924. His children stayed on, eventually selling to new owners in the late 1930s. The exterior of the 3,484-square-foot home retains its Queen Anne character and appearance. The original entry door has a beveled-glass window. The entry itself has a stained-glass window. The high ceilings on the first floor, at just over 10 feet, add a sense of spaciousness. The home retains most of its original doors and ornate hardware. The parlor has its original clear fir woodwork and floor and a stained-glass window above the picture window. The parlor fireplace has an oak mantel with a beveled mirror and small tablet tiles. Pocket doors give access to the dining room, which also has clear fir floors and woodwork. The dining room fireplace has brown tiles and an oak mantel with a beveled mirror. A butler’s pantry with original cupboards leads to the kitchen, which has been updated with a peninsula, granite tile counters, and a tile floor. French doors give access to a deck and back yard. Friedman House

In 1925, Dana Roberts, Tacoma builder and architect, engaged contractor Charles W. Jones to construct this 4,148-square-foot, stuccoed, Tudor-cottage-style home. Roberts sold the home to Samuel and Mary Friedman. Friedman came to Tacoma from Latvia. In 1909, he and his cousin Morris founded Hub Clothing. Friedman was also a founder of Tacoma B’nai B’rith and of Talmud Torah congregation, which later became Temple Beth El. The Friedmans raised their four children in the home, selling it in 1947 to John and Katherine Taylor, retired wheat farmers from Lincoln County. The Taylors lived here until 1980. Complementary leaded-glass windows grace the street side of the living room. The fireplace retains its original tile surround. The dining room is to the left of the entry. Like the living room, it, too, has leaded-glass windows facing the street. The entry, living room and dining room retain their original mahogany woodwork and oak floors. The kitchen, with its alcove dinette, has been tastefully updated with new cabinets and a professional range. A television room, originally a bedroom, is behind the kitchen. An updated bathroom and guest bedroom finish off the main floor. Kyle House

Ambrose J. Russell designed this 1902 home, a fine 2,268-square-foot example of simplified Queen-Anne style, for George and Mildred Kyle for $3,000. Kyle was a railroad engineer. In 1902 he was division engineer for Northern Pacific Railroad. Eugene and Louise Church purchased the home in 1910 for $7,500. Eugene Church developed real estate between Steilacoom and Tacoma, including Day Island. He also served as mayor of Steilacoom. Louise had a medical degree and was a lecturer on current events. Charles and Elizabeth Buckley bought the home in 1917. Charles was vice president of Pacific First Federal Savings & Loan and the brother of W. K. Buckley, a founder of Buckley-King Mortuary. They sold it in 1937 to the Reverend WilliamTurrill, rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Turrill sold it in 1939 to Michael and Mary Petri. Petri owned the Center Street Service Station. He died in 1961. Mary sold it in 1979 to its current owners, Proctor District merchants Bill and Ann Evans. The exterior of the home has seen only modest changes. The second-floor balcony, originally just in front of the bay window, was extended across the home to offer magnificent views of Puget Sound. A striking feature of the living room is an ornate carved-oak fireplace surround with an oval mirror. The surround, not original to the home, dates from 1894, and was acquired and installed by the Evanses. The stained-glass windows above the center windows in the two living-room bays are original. Antique light fixtures cover two gas pipes that extend from the ceiling and that originally provided light to the room.

acoma rock band Midnight Salvage Co. was already on the verge of losing two-fifths of its membership, with bassist Dustin Lau moving to New York and singer-guitarist Brason Alexander headed south to California. Then came news that the band’s University Place practice space was slated for demolition, adding major insult to injury. “I think that’s the cosmos’ way of telling us to wrap it up here,” joked guitarist Bryan Kiehl, who will join his band mates – also drummer Mike Haley and keyboard player Aubrey Shelton – for a farewell gig at Jazzbones on May 10. “It’s sad on the one hand,” he said. “But then, on the other hand, it gives us the opportunity to go out on our terms.

there just being a fight amongst band members, and never getting a chance to do a finale or say thank you to all the people who have supported us.”

Ironically, Kiehl thinks news of the band’s demise pushed it to lay down its most ambitious and polished sounds to date. The good news is that the show is also a CD release party. Last winter, the Midnight Salvage crew ventured to Seattle’s Egg studios to record sophomore album “Neon Lights” with veteran producer Conrad Uno (Presidents of the United States of America, Mudhoney, Young Fresh Fellows). “It’s just a really cool setting,” Kiehl said. “I can’t imagine there being any other place in Western Washington where you get his level of expertise at that reasonable of a price. “We’ve gotten to know him, obviously, now that we’ve done two albums

(with him.) And he’s not afraid to tell you what he thinks. Sometimes you get too close to the canvas while you’re painting, and you need someone to say, ‘What if you try it this way?’ He was brutally honest with his assessment of things, and we really appreciated that.” The Midnight Salvage sound is Americana infused with punk energy, earnest, frenetic jams that recall the likes of the Hold Steady and Counting Crows. Ironically, Kiehl thinks news of the band’s demise pushed it to lay down its most ambitious and polished sounds to date. “About halfway through the recording is when we got the word that this was likely gonna be it for us,” he said. “In a lot of ways that allowed us to be more creative. “On the first album I wanted to keep it pretty raw; if we only had two guitars onstage, we’re only gonna have two guitar tracks on the CD. It was pretty much a live recording of us. This we took a little more liberty with. It’s definitely a more lush album. There’s a lot more percussion stuff on it, and there’s certainly a lot more guitar tracks on it. I’ve just gotta figure a way to reproduce all the guitar stuff for the CD release show.” China Davis, a band Midnight Salvage Co. has shared a few stages with over the last four years, will join them on the bill at Jazzbones, 2803 6th Ave., in Tacoma. Tickets are $8, and the show is scheduled for an 8 p.m. start; (253) 396-9169 or www.jazzbones.com for further details.

THE SWISS TURNS 20 HAPPENINGS – Downtown Tacoma has experienced a fullblown renaissance over the last 10 years, with the additions of the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center, Museum of Glass and light rail, among other fixtures. And heralding the area’s makeover 20 years ago was the opening of the Swiss Tavern. One of Tacoma’s more popular nightclubs will celebrate its 20th anniversary with three big days of music, food and libation, from April 26 to 28. Owner Jack McQuade remembers a time when the block was a lot seedier than it is now and, at times, it seemed doubtful he and his partners would last as long as they did. “That area was notoriously known for black tar heroin,” recalled McQuade, who opened the business in 1993 with Bob Hill, Gayl Bertagni and Marty Kling. “Before we got in and remodeled, the Tacoma Police Department was just about ready to put the padlock on the door and board up the building because of the drug activity,” he said. “So we were lucky to get in there, close it up for six months, remodel it and then started cleaning up the neighborhood. I’d work the days and stay out front, and Bob worked the nights, and I would write down license plate numbers. We’d escort women to their cars. It was a rough area.” McQuade is the last remaining partner at the Swiss. Kling was bought out years ago. Hill retired on Jan. 1, but will be back to perform with the Twang Junkies on April 28. Info: www. theswisspub.com/calendar.html The Swiss is located at 1904 Jefferson Ave. in Tacoma.

Come into the fort’s buildings or explore the outdoor areas and mingle with several dozen re-enactors. They will be cheerfully cooking in the kitchen, spinning yarn in the Laborers’ Dwelling or hammering in the blacksmith’s shop while woodworking and spring gardening takes place outdoors. Guests are invited to participate in hands-on activities such as 1800s games, butter churning and laundry techniques or take a turn at the ropemaking machine.

The garden will be abuzz with both big, fat bumblebees and busy gardeners. Peas are already in the ground, and they will soon be joined by more than two dozen other crops – everything from beans to turnips.
