KILMER ADDRESSES OCEAN ACIDIFICATION AT NORTHERN FISH By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

C

ongressman Derek Kilmer visited Northern Fish in South Tacoma on May 12 to discuss the growing problem of ocean acidification and to announce a new piece of legislation he will be introducing to Congress next week to help fight this serious environmental and economic concern. Joining him for a roundtable discussion were Northern Fish President John Swanes and Vice President Ross Swanes;

Lissa James from the Hama Hama Oyster Company in Lilliwaup; Jan Newton and Terrie Klinger, co-directors of the University of Washington’s Washington Ocean Acidification Center; and lifelong crab fisherman Larry Thevik from Ocean Shores. While ocean acidification isn’t a new occurrence, the ever-lowering pH of the earth’s oceans is showing serious affects on sea life, such as oyster reproduction and oyster shell formation.

EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE FAIR OFFERING GLOBAL, AND INTENSELY LOCAL, HEALTH RESOURCES

By Kathleen Merryman Students at Evergreen State College’s Tacoma campus will add a dimension to the notion of a healthy community Saturday, May 17 when they host their annual Spring Fair from 1-4 p.m. They’ll present 39 exhibits, all examining health from a different angle, all aimed at sharing their knowledge with the neighbors they consider partners in a world-wise education. “In some colleges, there’s a distinction between town and gown,” said faculty member Peter Bacho, who works with students on presenting the annual event. Evergreen, plunked into an adapted building at 1210 Sixth Ave., defies that old-school thinking. “This community gave birth to the institution,” Bacho said. “Dr. Maxine Mimms saw a need, a hunger, that wasn’t satisfied. She started this college in her kitchen with the philosophy of an institution being an extension of the community’s desires and aspirations. That has not left us.” It’s an academically delightful partnership in which the college has been a change agent in the community, and the community has helped guide the development of the curriculum. It works because students and faculty demand and deliver the skills to spot and remedy the ills they see around them – and likewise build on the strengths. The Spring Fair highlights that brand of practical academics. Launched in 1982, it hits one theme a year and challenges students in all disciplines to build exhibits around the concept. Among this year’s 39 booths, discussions, panels and films, look for “Pierce County’s Killing Us. What We Can Do to Help,” “Green Living” and “Garden Brain” from X See FAIR / page A12

FOCUS ON HEALTH. Among this year’s 39 booths, discussions, panels and films, topics will range from food sustainability, diabetes, human trafficking, venereal diseases and access to health care, to meth, teeth, asthma, domestic violence and getting kids off the computer and outside to play.

The Charter Review Committee’s work to develop recommended changes to the governing document of Tacoma government is now over and awaits more discussion as the proposed changes work their way through the City Council review process. The council will decide which recommendations will face a vote in the fall following public hearings on the proposed changes. The council’s Committee as a whole will review the recommendations on May 20 with a projected discussion of the full council on June 3. The council is expected to decide on the recommendations in July. The council could put all of the recommendations on the ballot and let voters decide, it could select only the recommendations it supports or it could opt to not select any items on the ballot and simply scrap the recommendations. “At this point, it is all up in the air to what the council will do,” former mayor and Charter Review Committee Chairman Bill Baarsma said. The committee recommended three main changes: shifting to a Chief Administrative Officer form of government that operates under the direct direction of the mayor, changing the makeup and terms of the Tacoma Public Utility Board and allowing the enactment of emergency ordinances immediately after they are approved rather than after the legal notice publication of the ordinances. Other recommendations included the city oversight of neighborhood groups, landmark preservation, financial disclosure of city employees and changes to how salaries are determined. The main change under consideration is the shift that would come to the mayor’s office, which would have its own staff and direct oversight of city operations. The council would shrink from nine to seven members, but would be full-time positions and have support staff. The host of changes under this recommendation created the most debate at public hearings during the review process, with supporters saying the changes would create more oversight of city operations while galvanizing the “vision of Tacoma” into one direction rather than through nine council members. Those opposed to the change say the shift would make the X See CHARTER / page A12

On Saturday, May 17, City of Tacoma contractors will close Market Street to through traffic from St. Helens Avenue to South 9th Street. The all-day closure is required to perform work that will lead to energy savings in the City of Tacoma Municipal Building. Local access to parking and pedestrian areas in the closure area may be delayed, yet access will be accommodated. The City’s historic Municipal Building, built in 1930, is undergoing energy conservation measures to enhance the City’s sustainability efforts. Saturday’s work will remove a 40-year old rooftop heating/ventilating system and deliver a replacement heat recovery unit via a large, 550-ton crane. Pending weather delays, the 240 square foot heat recovery unit will be placed on the building’s roof. The efficiency measures are anticipated to reduce energy use by 30 percent, saving an estimated $60,000 annually. More than 50 percent of the $1.1 million project will be funded by grants and utility rebates.

5th and Yakima 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 holes, 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.

We plan to take the customer experience to a whole new level.â€? When completed, the showroom will be 50 percent larger, the customer waiting area will double and the service reception drive will be completely enclosed and climate-controlled. In addition, the company is constructing a new automated car wash and an all-new commercial vehicle service center intended to keep up with the growth of Titus-Will’s heavy duty truck repair business. Originally constructed in 1968, Titus-Will Ford was a stateof-the-art design created by local architect Alan Liddle. Fortysix years later, “The trick is blending old with new,â€? says Tash. “Working with Helix Design and Sierra Construction, we’ve come up with a plan to maximize both. The end result: state-

In the meantime Titus-Will plans to remain open for “business as usual� Tash says with a wink. “It will be challenging, but we have experience with this and our customer focus will not waiver during the project.� Final completion is slated for early 2015.

The Seaport will host a re-opening celebration, including family-friendly festivities, cake cutting, live music, the Tacoma Fire Department fire boat, special maritime boats, activities and exhibits, the firing of cannons. This past winter, the Seaport completed a round of renovation work to the last surviving historic Balfour Dock wooden wheat warehouse that houses the museum, including a major restoration of the west, south and east walls. The $1.8 million dollar renovation was funded by a Heritage Capital Projects grant of $750,000 from the Washington State Historical Society and private donations. Olson Kundig Architects, construction firm Jones and Roberts Company and the Foss Waterway Seaport have taken great care to ensure that the exterior walls retain the same appearance as they did when the building was first constructed. The inaugural exhibit for the summer season, “Peek in our Attic and Share our Dream,â€? will highlight the many historic maritime treasures in the museum’s collection. Throughout summer, themed programs and weekend activities will use those artifacts as touchstones to connect visitors to their shared maritime past—the sailors, ships, rail yards, the workers and port that shaped the South Sound into the region it is today. A series of family fun events are scheduled through-out the summer including science camps August 4-8 and August 11-14 (advance booking is required).

CITY NOW REQUIRES GUN MAN CAUGHT ON CAMERA SHOW BACKGROUND CHECKS STEALING PISTOL AT FRED MEYER

By David Rose Correspondent

A man who was caught on surveillance camera on May 1 breaking a glass display case at a Fred Meyer store in Puyallup and stealing a 9 MM pistol valued at $579.99 first claimed he didn’t remember doing it because he went to a DAVID ROSE marijuana dispensary and then took a lot of drugs. The next thing he knew he was waking up in someone’s backyard. Detectives didn’t buy Allen Kurth Jr.’s story for a minute and said they suspected his mother had told him to claim he was high and couldn’t remember. When confronted with that information, Kurth admitted he stole the gun and planned to sell it for $250 to get drug money. He has past convictions for Felony Harassment, Theft 2 and Escape 2. Kurth appeared in Pierce County Court on Tuesday. He was charged with theft of a firearm, malicious mischief, unlawful possession of a firearm and trafficking in stolen property.

Tacoma City Council unanimously passed a resolution last week that requires background checks for firearm sales on city-managed property. The move follows a recent gun show at the Tacoma Dome that allowed buyers to purchase guns without going through criminal background checks. Many Tacomans decried the event and called on the council to tighten restrictions of gun purchases on city property. The gun show was the first of its kind at the Tacoma Dome in two decades, but it won’t be the last even with the tighter restrictions of firearm vendors. The Oregon-base gun show organizer, Wes Knodel Gun Show, has already confirmed another show in November and another four in 2015, according to Dome Manager Tom Alexander. Those followup events are slated for February, April, September and December, with a total of $275,000 in Dome rental contracts. The economic impact of the recent show was estimated by the Tacoma Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau to be $1.1 million in hotel and restaurant spending, an impact that will likely continue with future shows. Washington law does not require background checks for private gun sales at gun shows. The event hosted more than 6,000 visitors during the two-day show. Event organizers recorded purchaser information from private sellers as required by state and federal law. But those laws do

not require background checks on buyers unless the seller is a licensed gun dealer, which are required to conduct background checks. Most of the sellers at the Dome show are licensed firearms dealers. There is no information about how many guns were sold at the event or how many were sold following background checks or through private sales without them. The added requirement of background checks for sales hosted on city property was meant to be a “common sense� approach to the issue of gun safety and the Second Amendment right for people to bear arms while not micromanaging city operations. “Contrary to what some people think,� said Mayor Marilyn Strickland, “The City Council does not approve every show that comes to the Dome or other city facility, so this caught us off guard.� The goal of the resolution is to keep guns out of the hands of felons or those with mental illnesses while still protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners to protect themselves. “I don’t see this proposal as being anti-gun or pro-gun,� Councilmember Anders Ibsen said. “It’s common sense. All rights come with responsibilities.� The resolution was proposed by Councilmembers Victoria Woodards and Ryan Mello, who drafted the resolution as a way for Tacoma to address what they see as a legal gap between federal and state law in terms of when a background check is required. “I look forward to continuing this conversation,� Woodards said.

CLICK IT OR TICKET RETURNS On the heels of the first-ever, statewide distracted driving extra enforcement campaign, law enforcement officers will be out once again searching for not only unbuckled drivers but distracted drivers as part of the annual “Click it or Ticket� patrols. In Pierce County, during the recent distracted driving campaign which took place between April 10 and 15, 401 cell phone and texting violations were written. The “Handheld Cell Phone Use� law became a primary law in Washington in June 2010. Prior to that law taking effect, the number of citations issued for cell phone use averaged 700 per month statewide. After the law went into effect, the number of tickets issued increased and has stayed consistent at approximately

An officer was called to the location at 2:30 a.m. when a school patrol officer found a man sleeping in a truck blocking the bus lane. At first, the man admitted to driving to the location before switching the story to getting a ride to the conspicuously parked vehicle. When caught in the lie and asked to perform voluntary field sobriety tests, the man simply “pleaded the Fifth.� Due to the totality of circumstances, including the shifting story, the man admitting to drinking, and with the smell of alcohol on his breath, the man was transported to Fife Jail where he blew a breath sample of .173 and was booked for DUI. When told of his Miranda rights, the man once again pleaded the Fifth. While doing donuts in your car may look cool to your 16-year-old friends, it definitely doesn’t impress local police officers. A church parking lot on 38th Street was the scene of a small donut show on May 8. And by small donut show, I mean a guy showing off to two of his buddies. When a police officer heard the noise, he quickly investigated and found out the driver was operating with a suspended license, and didn’t have proof of insurance. The driver was issued a ticket for reckless driving and probably looked totally lame in front of his friends. Compiled by Derek Shuck

4,000 per month. This is without funding for extra enforcement. Likewise, after the primary seat belt law took effect in June 2002, seat belt violations initially increased and then the seat belt use rate increased. This model of high visibility enforcement has proven to change behaviors and is now being applied to distracted driving. Texting and cell phone usage is aggravating to so many motorists and it remains a growing public health and traffic safety issue. That is why between May 19 and June 1, motorists in Pierce County can expect to see extra seat belt and distracted driving patrols.

CITY OF TACOMA BUDGET FORECAST LOOKING BETTER

BUSINESS OF THE MONTH:

STACK FURNITURE SOLUTIONS BRINGS FAMILY COMFORT TO FIFE

By Steve Dunkelberger

There’s something about a family business that gives stores a homey feel. Even giant warehouses can be given a friendly environment by a family. Just wander into Stack Furniture Solutions on 4918 20th St. E to experience the feeling first hand. After 30 years in Olympia, Stack Furniture, owned by The Barrett family, relocated to a new Fife location to be closer to the rest of the family last November. Stack Furniture offers full line home furnishing, with all new furniture in the store. For those worried about price, the store offers no credit check financing, offering brand new couches for only double-digit payments. “I think it’s worked out pretty well for us,â€? Vice President Kevin Barrett, who owns the business with his wife, daughter and niece, said. The massive warehouse is completely filled to the brim with couches, loveseats, beds, and other types of home dĂŠcor. “We have more American made sofas for under $1000 than any two or three stores in the area,â€? Barrett said, scanning a sea of plush seats. The store is open Friday, Saturday and Monday 10-7 and Sunday from 11-5. While the four-day a week model of

Tacoma isn’t out of its budget troubles and won’t be for years to come, but the forecast is brighter than it was just a few months ago, city staffers presented last week. The next two-year budget was expected to be $26 million more expensive than tax revenues but revised projections have cut that down to between $8 million and $12 million thanks to higher revenues and lower expenses. But the better-thanexpected forecast still doesn’t account for a growing roster of deferred repairs and upkeep costs. The city hasn’t added to its fleet replacement fund in five years, for example, and the city’s computer system needs upgrades. There are also expenses associated with renovating the Tacoma Dome to add seats, not to mention potholes in the streets, since those are largely filled from other city accounts. That all said, the budget forecast is better than first thought, and city staffers will file a win whenever they can. “We are doing better,� City Budget Officer Tad Wille said. “We still have a ways to go.� All but the city’s utility taxes were higher than projected, and the 2 percent dip in utility taxes, some $270,000, was caused by the wholesale rate structure for large commercial operations. Property taxes, for example, were up 16 percent. Business and Occupation tax collections and sales taxes were also up. Lower than expected jail costs and health care expenses anchored the cuts in expenses on the city’s balance sheet. The ending budget allowed for a reserve of $12 million, some of which will be spent to spruce up roads with added signs in preparation to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in 2015. The rest will go to the city’s savings account, provide for non-union worker pay raises and to pay down the loan for the Murray Morgan Bridge. The city can get $10 million of the loan forgiven if it pays $4 million in 2014 and $3 million in 2015 and 2016. City staffers are working on a six-year budget forecast that will provide for a framework as the City Council begins budget discussions this summer. Public meetings on the budget will come in late summer and early fall, with the council set to approve the budget in December.

COMFORT. Stack Furniture offers hundreds of unique furniture pieces fit for any home.

Stack Furniture may seem odd, Barrett says the method offers some unique advantages. “The realities of it is we have half the employees we need then if we were open seven days a week,� Barrett said. “Lower overhead means lower prices for the customers, our utilities are low compared to what they would be.� While Stack Furniture is based in a warehouse, the Barretts take the time to add a personal touch to the store by importing rare pieces of furniture. “We have great quality, value and selection,� Barrett said. “We buy a lot of one-of-a-kinds, premium product for lower prices.� Stack Furniture also offers a military discount for those serving, with the Barrett’s youngest daughter in the

written. However, taking a historical look, in 2010, (when the primary law went into effect) only 63 drivers were cited statewide at this time. In Pierce County, the Bonney Lake, Fircrest, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, Puyallup, Sumner and Tacoma Police

military, the family thought it would be a good way to give back to the community. The new business has also quickly become involved in other ways. Less than a month after moving in, Stack furniture offered free photos with Santa, with suggested donations of canned food goods. By the end of drive, Stack Furniture held huge barrels full of donations. The efforts have been noticed, and now Stack Furniture is quickly fitting into its new community. “The fire department, the city, the police department and our neighbors have all been good to us,� Barrett said. To contact Stack Furniture Solutions, call (360)-491-1050 or email them at web@stackfs.com.

Departments as well as the Pierce County Sheriff ’s Department and the Washington State Patrol will be teaming up and participating in these extra patrols, with the support of the TacomaPierce County DUI and Traffic Safety Task Force. These and all extra patrols

are part of Target Zero – striving to end traffic deaths and serious injuries in Washington by 2030. For more information, visit www.targetzero. com. Additional information on the Washington Traffic Safety Commission can be found on the website, www. wtsc.wa.gov.

A fiscal cliff to remember By Don C. Brunell Last month J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, revealed the Internal Revenue Service gave a total of $1 million in bonuses to 1,150 workers who owed back taxes between October 2010 and December 2012. The IRS paid out an additional $1.8 million in bonuses to workers facing other kinds of disciplinary problems over the same period, including improper use of government credit cards, drug use, threats of violence and unemployment-benefits fraud, according to the Associated Press. Give the rest of us a break! What about the hardworking Americans with families and bills to pay? Thanks to President Obama and Congress, we got a swift kick in the wallet and we really felt the pain on tax day. Adding insult to injury, President Obama flew back and forth to Hawaii on Christmas Eve costing taxpayers $4 million. While the IRS delinquents got a boost to pay their tax bill and the President was running up his travel bill, more than three in four Americans paid higher taxes for 2013, thanks to the fiscal cliff deal passed in Congress on New Year’s Day. The average increase is expected to be $1,257, but that figure belies the wide disparity in impact, according to the Tax Policy Center. Those making less than $10,000 a

year paid $68 more in federal taxes, on average, while those making between $50,000 and $75,000 saw an $822 jump. Wealthy filers with incomes of $1 million or more were zapped for $170,341 spike, on average. Who says the rich aren’t paying their share? The rich were hit by the increase in the tax rate to 39.6 percent for couples with adjusted gross incomes above $450,000, or single filers above $400,000. Millionaires will pay $122,560 more a year just from this provision alone, according to the Tax Policy Center. And they’ll have to pay a 20 percent levy on capital gains and dividends, up from 15 percent. Medicare taxes for those with taxable income above $200,000 ($250,000 for joint filers) rose from 1.45 to 2.35 percent. Now, 80 percent of the allowable itemized deductions were reduced and all personal exemptions for people with over $200,000 ($250,000 for joint filers) have been phased out. That is only the tip of the iceberg of tax hikes because of the so-called Fiscal Cliff negotiations. So what does all mean? Can government just raise taxes willy-nilly and not have an impact on our economy and jobs? Of course, not. Families with a combined $100,000 account for 40 percent of consumer spending and because consumer

spending makes up 70 percent of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), economists are very concerned that consumers will quit spending. Accountants across America were universally shocked at the size of tax bills and in order to pay Uncle Sam many of their clients liquidated stocks. If all of these new taxes were a one-time occurrence, taxpayers may understand, but unfortunately, the worst may be ahead with Obamacare taxes phasing in, for example. On Cinco de Mayo, the National Debt stood at $17.475 trillion meaning every man, woman and child in the United States currently owes $57,514 for their share of the U.S. public debt. According to the U.S. Debt Clock, our total long-term, unfunded liabilities are at $126 trillion, a $1.1 million liability for each U.S. taxpayer. The main driver of that astronomical number is two of our major entitlement programs: Social Security and Medicare. Where will it all end? Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver.

Imagining the ‘unimaginable’ By Michael N. Nagler Last week, the quiet town of Waseca, MN narrowly avoided becoming “one more in a long list of school shootings� (I will come back to this language of the CNN report). A boy, 17 years old, had plotted to kill his family and bomb the town’s junior and senior high school, to “kill as many students as possible� and then be killed by a SWAT-team. Thank God a neighbor caught on to his suspicious behavior and called the police. It turns out he had already planted a couple of crude bombs in neighborhood playgrounds that, by grace or good fortune, did not go off. Throughout the coverage of the boy’s nick-of-time arrest the expression used by one police officer became a refrain: we have averted an “unimaginable tragedy.� But the problem is, it was all too imaginable. Teenagers in particular – though not they alone – spend more hours consuming media than they ever did in school, more than they spend hanging out with friends or in any kind of human interaction. This would be harmful even if the content of those media were not so disturbing, so damaging to the human image. The choice seems to be violence, sex, or both (and sex, the loveless way that it’s presented in most of these formats, is just another form of violence). By contrast, most examples of a potentially uplifting alternative, where human beings are presented with dignity and their connectedness acknowledged – the would-have-been reality check on all this alienating stuff – are sappy and unrealistic. This is new in human evolution.

Our ancestors would sometimes listen to war epics at an annual festival, but we are putting the fire of artless violence in our minds upwards of five hours a day. Once we’ve made violence imaginable, and for some an idĂŠe fixe which at some point they can’t help acting out, we also make sure the tools of violence are readily available. Anyone can earn how to make a bomb on the Internet; we have become a nation armed against itself, full of people who harbor weapons in a desperate attempt to find some meaning and some security – which, as we almost saw yet again last week in Minnesota, has the opposite effect. And so for this 17-year-old, who idolized the mass murderers of Virginia Tech, Columbine, and Newtown, such violence was all too imaginable. And for how many others? In a nation where CNN can almost off-handedly refer to “one more in a long list of school shootings,â€? how can children feel safe in their schools? And if they cannot feel safe, how can they learn? On the whole, I think we would almost be better off not even hearing about those massacres; but that is not what I’m advocating. Of course we have to read about these horrors; but we also have to learn from them. And from the relentless scientific studies that show how media violence and, for that matter, the mere image of weapons, makes people more aggressive. And, for that matter, from our own experiences. When I was very young, and had already seen my share of cowboy and gangster movies, I had a bad dream one night that I was being chased by a fiendish giant. But I somehow had

a gun, and turning around I frantically pulled the trigger. Nothing. Click, click. It was a dud. At that point I woke up, but I remember to this day how I would have given anything in that dream moment for a gun that worked. So I sympathize with the fears of gun owners, and I can sympathize with the hunger of television and movie viewers, with video game players who may be seeking some excitement from the drab realities of everyday life or giving themselves the feeling that violence will make them strong and protected. But the difference is, I woke up. I call out to gun lobbyists and gun buyers, to movie producers and viewers of media where the human image is degraded and mayhem extolled, to wake up from their nightmarish fascination with violence. Maybe a kind of awakening is beginning. Former New York Mayor Bloomberg is setting up a $50 million fund to counteract some of the political muscle of the NRA, which is an interesting first step. But most politicians, when in office, are apparently unprepared to listen to this kind of reason. When that happens it is opportune to start small – simply don’t expose yourself to violent media and try to live in trust instead of fear. We make a difference as individuals, and we must make our difference in the right direction. Michael N. Nagler writes for PeaceVoice, is professor emeritus at UC Berkeley, and president of the Metta Center for Nonviolence. His latest book, “The Nonviolence Handbook,� is available from BerrettKoehler publishers, San Francisco.

The Charter Review Committee’s work is done. The volunteer citizen committee has submitted its report and roster of recommended changes to the chief governing document of Tacoma. But in some respects, the work has just begun. The City Council has a wide range of options on what now to do with that report. It could simply ignore it and not put any charter changes on the fall ballot. It could select which recommendations the committee forwarded. It could add others. By far the most controversial of the committee’s recommendations involves a change in the role of the mayor. The change would shift the daily operations of the city to the mayor with the support of a separate staff headed by a chief administrative officer instead of the current city manager-council system. Related to the shift would be a shrinking of the council from nine to seven members, five from the city’s neighborhood districts and two at-large positions. The system roughly mirrors the federal system of an executive branch of a mayor and a legislative branch of a council. Supporters say it would save money, make the city more efficient by channeling ideas behind a mayoral vision and provide more voter oversight of city operations. Opponents challenge that the change would be more expensive, “fix� a system that isn’t broken and give too much power to the mayor. The council’s Committee as a Whole will review the recommendations on May 20 with a projected discussion of the full council on June 3. The council is expected to decide on the recommendations in July. The unofficial nose count of the change in the mayor’s office suggests that it is going to be a tough sell to clear the council for a public vote. But a council that has stated countless times that it wants to be transparent, accountable and accessible to voters, one would argue that the full slate of changes should be forwarded to the ballot. After all, it creates an air of distrust of voters to have a committee draft a slate of recommendations for government changes meant to go to voters and actually not have those suggestions go to the voters. Tacoma is owned by the citizens. Residents are its shareholders. The council serves the shareholders, and like during changes of a publicly held company, shareholders get a say. Having a council unilaterally decide how it governs the city on behalf of the citizenry smacks of conflict of interest and job preservation. That is not to say every council decision should be up to voters. Making those calls is why the council exists, after all. But changes to the charter seems like a matter best left to the citizenry. There’s a risk to that, however. The city could end up with changes no one expected simply because a bad idea passed voters. Pierce County voters elected Dale Washam after all. That decision cost taxpayers millions of dollars. The council could safeguard against such nightmare scenarios, however, by slating the recommendations for a public vote without endorsement of those proposed changes. That way the council honors the process but delivers a largely “dead on arrival� slate of changes it doesn’t want and endorse the changes it does want. Voters are smart enough to figure it out. Otherwise the council is saying its political decisions are wiser than the collective will of 200,000 Tacomans. The above opinion represents the view of Tacoma Weekly’s editorial board.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I would first like to thank you very much for mentioning my friend’s work in the article, and all the other artists as well! It is wonderful that you are honoring their hard work. However, there is an issue that I cannot overlook. The title, description, and representation you portray of Karly Cornelison’s artwork is wrong. Simply wrong. I am a personal friend of Karly and I am very bothered by the inaccuracy in this article. I watched her create these pieces and heard directly from her what they represent. It is clear you did not read the title or talk with the artist (or even read her bio or descriptions of the pieces). It is inappropriate to fabricate meaning when the actual meaning was available to you. I understand there were many pieces, but this is really very silly and not professional. The ACTUAL title of the piece mentioned in your article is called “Your Faith Has Made You Well� which is referencing Mark 5 in the Bible. It is NOT a piece on industrial capitalism. Please consider in the future what you are writing and please seek to be accurate because this is far from it. The Society of Professional Journalism’s code of ethics states that one must seek and report truth and try to be accurate. In this case, the mark was missed. Johanna Frack - Tacoma

The Puyallup Tribe’s donation of $200,000 to Northwest Harvest will help keep food on the table for countless struggling families.

Considered among the most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has grown to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care of not only its own membership but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County, with a payroll of more than 3,300 people

– 74 percent of whom are non-Native. Working in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities, these employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2012, the Tribe spent over $445 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. Even during the recession, the Tribe increased employment and funded substantial vendor purchases and construction projects,

keeping many businesses afloat and people employed. As the country continues to recover from past economic woes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians leads the way locally. From sponsoring dozens of local charities, nonprofit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and health care, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its well-deserved reputation as “the generous people,� a reflection of the meaning of the Tribe’s very name.

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

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

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

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

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

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

PIERCE CLAIMS FOURTH STRAIGHT TITLE IN UPSET OVER TCC By Steve Mullen

smullen@tacomaweekly.com

By Karen Westeen Missbaseball9@juno.com

T

y Kelly does not come from one of the country’s powerhouse baseball schools. He attended the University of California at Davis (about 60 miles north of San Francisco.) Now in his sixth year of professional ball, he has played exclusively in the infield, mostly second and third. One of his major claims to fame is his ability to draw walks. In fact, on May 5, at home against Las Vegas, he had the game-winning walk-off walk and in four of the six years he has played he has tallied more walks than strike outs. Kelly, 25, came over to the Mariners’ organization from Baltimore last June. He spent some time recently talking to Tacoma Weekly baseball writer Karen Westeen about his career.

KW: You were born in Texas. How long did you live there? TK: For about a year, then we moved to Fremont, California and then to Tracy (about 60 miles east of San Francisco), where I grew up. KW: What is your earliest baseball memory? TK: I remember trying T-ball a little bit about five or so. We had to listen to the coaches to find out what to do. I remember I had an unassisted triple play when I was in T-ball. I caught a line drive at short stop and the coaches on the field said “Go tag him,” “Now run across the field and go tag this base.” Nobody had any idea what was going on. KW: Did you play baseball all the way through school? TK: Yes, from little league to high school and then some travel teams. My dad was a big believer in playing as many sports as you can, so I played everything and let things fall where it may, so I was pretty much always playing something. KW: Where did you go to college and what was your major? TK: The University of California at Davis, about sixty miles northeast of San Francisco. My major was communications, and my minor was Spanish.

KW: Did you graduate? TK: Yes. After I got drafted I went back to school for three off-seasons to finish work for my degree. KW: Where do you live now between seasons? TK: My off-season home is San Diego. After I graduated I pretty much picked my favorite place to live and wound up there. KW: You were drafted by Baltimore in 2009 in the 13th round. Where were you on draft day? TK: I was taking a final, because Davis is on the quarter system, and I told my professor I might be getting some calls from the draft so he put me in a separate room. I had a couple of calls while I was writing out my answers. I wasn’t nervous at all because I had been studying all night the night before. Eventually I got a call from the Orioles. They said “We just drafted you, welcome to the team.”

KW: Were you expecting Baltimore to take you? TK: They were one of the more interested teams so I figured it might be them or maybe a couple of other teams, but they had always shown an interest in me during the year. KW: Did you play the year you were drafted? TK: Yes, I signed the next day and shipped out a couple of days later to short season A-level Aberdeen, Maryland. All the teams are pretty much right around Baltimore. Aberdeen is 30 minutes from Baltimore and all the fans are pretty knowledgeable about the teams. KW: Was being that far from home any kind of a problem for you? TK: No, being that far away from home has never been a problem. Starting in second grade I was going to week-long basketball camps and going all over the place. X See RAINIERS / page A10

The Pierce College Raiders, winners of the last three Western Region division championships, have been in this spot before. Having swept the TCC Titans on Saturday at Mount Tahoma High School, all they needed was a split of the Mother’s day twin bill to claim their fourth in a row. In the opener, TCC’s Justin Vernia scattered seven hits in a complete game effort as the Titans won 3-1 to make the second seven-inning matchup the game that would propel the winner into the number one seed from the Western Region on May 22 in Longview. Trailing 3-2 entering the seventh inning, the Raiders would send 14 men to the plate and erupt for nine runs, cruising to an 11-3 win and claiming their fourth consecutive NWAAC Western Region championship. The victory also sealedup the number 1 seed in the eight-team round robin tournament that will eventually crown the NWAACC champion. “I’m just so excited for these young men and am in a state of euphoria that will last for a long time,” said Raiders head coach Ken Davis, who has guided Pierce to the previous three titles. The feeling was different on the other side of the diamond. “It is a big disappointment the way we played, but we’ll have to pick ourselves up and look forward to facing Lower Columbia next week,” said Titans head coach Ryan Mummert, whose team will have to beat Lower Columbia two out of three times to claim the number two spot in the NWAACC tournament Saturday May 17. If the teams split on Saturday, they’ll play the tiebreaker on Sunday to decide the West Region’s number two seed. In the opener, TCC’s Vernia and Pierce’s Cobi Beal took command early and kept both teams off-balance for most of the game. With the game tied at one in the fifth, Jeremy Spring would give the Titans the lead for good with an RBI single to score Matthew Hirsch and give TCC a 2-1 advantage. They would add another run when John Hicks laced a two-out single to right field to score Reed Johnson for a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning. Vernia would shut down the vaunted Raider offense the rest of the way and the stage would be set for the dramatic final game. With the number one seed from the Western Region at stake, Pierce’s Cole Uvila helped stake his team to an early lead. Uvila would carry a nohitter into the fifth inning when the Titan offense would come to life. With runners on second and third with one out, Spring would single to score Derik Bontempo to cut the Raider lead to 2-1. With two on and two outs, Reed Johnson would line a single to center field to score both Matthew Hirsch and Spring and TCC would carry a 3-2 lead all the way to the top of the seventh inning. With the bases loaded and one out, cleanup hitter DJ Gee would step to the plate with the season on the line. “My dad taught me at an early age, sit back and be patient and you’ll eventually get you’re pitch,” said Gee who laced a double just inside the bag to score both Dalton Elmer and Leo Valenti to give the Raiders a 4-3 lead, and they would never look back, plating seven more to finish off the inning scoring nine runs. As the last TCC batter went down, the Raiders celebration began as the team flew out of the dugout. “It was an emotional game, TCC is a very good club who will be back,” said Davis. “We’ll take a while to enjoy this and get ready for the NWAACC tourney in a couple of weeks.” “It was a tough way to go out,” said Mummert. “The errors cost us and we could not get it done in the seventh. We’ll have to put this one behind us and get ready for next weekend.”

It took a little longer than they had hoped for, but the Wilson Rams closed out the regular season Monday night May 12 with a 4-0 thumping of the Timberline Blazers and claimed the boys 3A Narrows league soccer crown. With the championship under their belt and the number one seed to the West Central District tournament, Wilson finds itself just one victory away from securing a spot in the 3A State soccer tournament. The Rams went straight to work against Timberline scoring the first goal barely a minute into the match when junior Aarjay Narayan weaved his way through a host of Blazer defenders and pounded a left footer past the diving Timberline goalkeeper for a 1-0 Rams lead. Ten minutes later Rams junior forward Munassar Saleh found a little daylight on the left-wing, just outside of the box and lofted a ball in front of the goal where teammate Kenneth Bwanika was waiting. The junior gathered in the pass, pushed the ball to his left and split his defender and the goalkeeper for the second Wilson goal. Just four minutes had passed and Saleh went to work again on the left-wing, this time putting on a dazzling display of dribbling before firing a line-drive pass into the box. This time it was junior Louis Fox on the receiving and delivery end. The lanky midfielder raised his left foot nearly waist-high and deflected the pass into the left side of the net in a one-two, bang-bang play that electri-

Closing out the regular season with a coveted second-seed to the 4A West Central District tournament on the line, the Bellarmine boys soccer team fought madly to the final whistle, but was unable to break free of a 3-3 draw with the top-seeded Gig Harbor Tides and find themselves on a much more difficult road as the fourth seed into the tournament. On several occasions, including twice in the waning minutes of the match, Bellarmine senior forward Drew Barker missed his chance at finalizing a hat-trick for himself and a victory for his Lions. Shortly after the opening whistle, Gig Harbor struck first as junior forward Edwin Brown weaved between two Bellarmine defenders on the right wing, made his way toward the goal, and as goalkeeper Dylan Zurfluh committed to leaning to his left, punched the ball into the other side of the goal and the Tides had a 1-0 lead four minutes into the match. Ten minutes later Bellarmine junior midfielder Luke Witker looped a perfect pass across the box to Barker, who paused just long enough for Gig Harbor goalkeeper Matt Stephens to charge out after the X See BELLARMINE / page A10

United States head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has released the 30-man roster for the Men’s 2014 World Cup and three Seattle Sounders - including former Sounders U-23 standout - DeAndre Yedlin have made the squad. The 20-year old Yedlin is a graduate from Seattle’s O’Dea high school and spent the 2012 season with the Sounders U-23 (formerly the Tacoma Tide) - helping lead the club to the Western Conference championship in the Premier Development League. Since being signed by the Seattle Sounders, Yedlin has appeared in 42 matches for the MSL club. The U.S. begins World Cup play against Ghana June 16, followed by Portugal June 22 and Germany June 26 in Brazil. This week the Sounders U-23 announced the signing of Mohammed “Mo� Dumbuya and Luis DeLaVega for the 2014 PDL season. Born in Gambia, Dumbuya comes to the Sounders U-23 from Bethel University of the Southern States Athletic Conference, while DeLaVega formerly played in 24 matches with the Laredo Heat of the PDL. Dumbaya was a second team NAIA All-America selection for Bethel in 2013 and is considered a crafty and unorthodox striker. DeLa Vega is an experienced, steady midfielder and is expected to fit well with the Sounders U-23 style of play. “Being a box-to-box player, when attacking I will move the ball around, creating opportunities for our forwards and midfielders, and on the defensive side helping to recover balls and cutting opponents’ attacks,� DeLaVega said in a statement through the club. The Sounders U-23 home opener is May 25 against the Puget Sound Gunners at Sumner’s Sunset Chevrolet Stadium at 2 p.m.

In front of a standing-room-only crowd at the Pierce College gymnasium the Marauding Mollys put aside any notions that they had lost a step from their roller derby championship run of last season. The Mollys defeated a dangerous and talented team in the Hellbound Homewreckers 217-141 Saturday night, May 10, and solidified their standing as the cream of the crop in the Dockyard Derby Dames league. The championship bout was tight at the start with each team trading off the lead. Midway through the first half the Molly’s caught fire and the Homewreckers were unable to keep the pace as the defending champs ran out to a 11762 lead to end the first half. The challengers made a few short runs in the second, but the Mollys held them at bay throughout and won going away. The opening bout “Grudge Match� between the Femme Fianna and the Trampires was surprisingly lopsided as the Fianna ran out to a 96-34 halftime advantage and never let up in the second as they thumped the Trampires 212-134. The Dockyard Derby Dames will begin season nine in the fall and are always looking for new women of all ages, sizes and skill levels to join the league. All new skaters with minimum skills are accepted into their “New Bruiser� group until they are draft-eligible for one of the league’s teams.

left on the field for the next 40 minutes. His teammates responded quickly as junior forward Chris Hanson crossed a pass from the right-wing to a cutting Barker who put the Lions up 3-2 with his second goal of the match. Bellarmine remained on the attack for the next twenty minutes but came away empty on four solid chances at the Gig Harbor goal. At the 28-minute mark following a questionable no-call on a tackle from behind, the Tides flashed the ball forward with three quick passes and Ike Northstrom found the inside of the right post and the equalizer goal for a 3-3 tie. Gig Harbor (11-1 Narrows) amplified the pressure over the next ten minutes and it looked as though they were sure to find a game winner during the run. However, the Tides’ best was three shots, fired much too strong, that all sailed high over the goal. In the final minute, Barker made two solid runs at the Gig Harbor goal, and like his opponents, put too much foot on the ball and the shots sailed high and the final whistle blew. “The guys did a great job and did everything we asked them to do,� said former Tacoma Stars icon and long-time Bellarmine head coach Joe Waters. “The only thing we didn’t do was put the extra goal in the back of the net to give it to us. I’m happy the way they played. “They were committed right to the end and never gave up. We nearly scored two goals in the last minute. The guys did a fine job. We came out and showed our true colors – how we can play. Now we’ve got to make sure we do that the rest of the way.� Bellarmine (6-5-1 Narrows) will play a loser-out match against Federal Way (11-3-2 overall) on Thursday night in the opening round of the WCD 4A tournament at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup at 7:00 p.m.

ball. Barker delivered a perfect shot to the back right of the goal and the score was tied 1-1. Bellarmine would strike again seven minutes later as Witker launched a long throw-in deep into the box. A defender got a head on it pushing the ball away from the goal, but onto the waiting foot of Bellarmine sophomore defender Ryan Clark who deposited a shot into the back left of the net. Bellarmine led 2-1. Thirty minutes in on a free kick, Barker skipped a short pass to Clark who nudged it right back to Barker who lofted a shot over the goalkeepers head, only to find the bottom edge of the crossbar and the ball bounced back out. However, a Tides defender had gotten a hand on the ball and a penalty kick was subsequently awarded. Barker lined up the penalty, hesitated for a moment, and delivered a strong kick just wide right of the goal. Bellarmine would go on to miss the chance badly, as Gig Harbor took advantage of the situation and went back on the offensive, breaking down the Lions defense at the 39-minute mark when Gig Harbor’s Tommy Martin found a slashing Tyler Vu open in front of the goal and crossed a solid pass to the freshman who put it into the back left of the net. The teams would enter halftime tied 2-2. “It was our last game at our home field this year,� said Barker. “We came out strong and pretty much dominated the whole game. We just didn’t finish our chances and come away with the win. Hopefully we can get them next time.� During the break, injured Bellarmine senior Eric Musica exhorted his teammates to make the most of the opportunity in front of them and to leave nothing

KW: I saw in the media guide that you were named to several All Star games. Did you play in the games or were they just honors without games? TK: There’s always a game and yes, I played in three of them. I was named in the Penn League, the South Atlantic League, the Carolina League and last year to the Eastern League All Stars but I got traded just before the game so I didn’t go to that one. KW: You were in the Orioles’ system how long? TK: Four full years and half of last year (2009-2013). KW: You probably made a lot of friends there. How was it being traded? TK: It was pretty interesting because I did have a lot of friends over there after five years. You make good friends as you move up and then being traded over here, I had never met any of the guys. But rooting for your new teammates and hoping that they do well supports good relationships. KW: How do you like this area? Had you ever played in Washington before you were traded? TK: Yeah when I was at Davis we played one series at Pullman. I think it snowed a little bit, and it was like nothing. That was the only time I’d been here. I love all the trees. It’s really nice here when the sun is out but it rains a lot. Last year I got here about June 1st and it was 75 degrees. It was awesome. KW: Had any time to see any sights here? TK: Yes my dad was in Maryland when I got traded so he drove my car out here and when he got here we went up to Seattle dur-

fied their teammates and Rams fans alike. Wilson leads 3-0. Wilson was relentless in the first half while the Timberline defense and goalkeeper were under constant duress. As soon as a Rams would get the ball on the offensive side of the field a minimum of three teammates would yell his name for the pass. It was a feeding frenzy and Timberline was fortunate that the Rams didn’t run up the score. The game was 3-0 at halftime and the Rams came out for the second looking relaxed and relieved; as

though they knew they had the game and league title wrapped up. This new attitude resulted in some uncharacteristically sloppy play by Wilson and head coach Jason Gjertsen was not amused. The coach started substituting players and the team tightened back up. “We talked about that a little bit at halftime,� said Gjertsen. “No matter what the score is we want to come out and keep playing good soccer. Keep moving the ball around and give us good looks moving forward. I don’t think we did that. “That’s always a challenge for me as a coach. Getting the younger kids to understand that and see the

KW: Do you have hobbies? TK: I play the guitar. Then I get completely into reading or doing crossword puzzles. When I’m in San Diego I like to hike and surf. KW: Do you feel you have a natural ability to draw walks or was it developed through coaching? TK: I think it’s kind of plate discipline and knowing the zone. It was instilled in me starting when I was younger by my dad and coaches. It’s just kind of grown over time as the umpires continue to get better at every level. You have more confidence knowing what they’re going to call so you don’t have to worry about that. KW: Do you feel you make a bigger contribution to the team with your offense or your defense? TK: I think offensively. You want to be able to help out any way you can. I think everyone has confidence in me offensively, but defensively I’d like to be on the same page. KW: What do you consider the highlights of your career so far? TK: I think making all the All Star games at all levels as a reward as you move up. And obviously getting to move up is an exciting part of it. KW: You are just starting out on your career, but have you had any thoughts yet about what you might like to do after you stop playing? TK: I’m always changing it from year to year. I never thought coaching was something I’d like to do but every year I feel I’m gaining so much knowledge and I feel that I would be able to share that knowledge.

bigger picture.� One of the sidelights of the game was freshman goalkeeper Alek Greenleaf. On his way to his ninth clean-sheet shutout of the year, Gjertsen decided to take Greenleaf out of the game and Bwanika took over in goal. At the next dead ball, Greenleaf returned to the game – this time on the frontlines as a forward for the first time this season. The goalkeeper-turnedstriker did everything he could to score a goal in his ten minutes of freedom away from his own goal box. With six minutes left, Greenleaf launch a free kick from 20 yards out that bent around the opposing Timberline wall of defenders and had the Blazer goalkeeper diving to his right to block the shot. Two minutes later, Greenleaf turned on his heal and pounded another shot at the goal, ending in another great save by Timberline’s keeper. I was really hoping I could score on that free kick,� said Greenleaf laughing. “The coaches were saying maybe I should take all

the free kicks from now on - but that’s not going to happen.� Greenleaf didn’t score, but was able to get a head on a Wilson corner kick with under two minutes to play that found the waiting foot of fellow freshman Nick Rhode to close out the Wilson win 4-0. “I think we’re ready,� said Greenleaf. “As long as we keep a good mindset and we don’t lose our focus - I think we can be the champs.� Wilson (10-5) will play Kennedy Catholic (11-1-5) in a district opener Thursday May 15. Kennedy knockedoff top-ranked Bonney Lake 1-0 in a sub-district match. The winner moves to the WCD championship match Saturday May 17 at 4:00 p.m. and the loser will move to a winner-to-state/ loser-out match at Noon. Both matches will be held at Highline Stadium in SeaTac. It they both can pull off a district-opening win on Thursday night, Foss (9-1-2) and Mount Tahoma (6-7-1) will square-off Saturday in the WCD fifth-place/loserout game at 10:00 a.m. at Highline Stadium. “Mount Tahoma’s definitely a team I wouldn’t want to see going forward and they’ve got some momentum,� said Gjertsen. “I could easily see a number one or two seed looking at their record and maybe resting guys or thinking it’s an easier game than they should. “I think they’re dangerous. I think all four teams [from the Narrows], if they start playing their best soccer, could make a run at the state championship.� The 3A State soccer tournament will be held at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup. The first round matches are May 19-20, followed by the quarterfinals May 21-24. The semifinals will be May 30, followed by the championship and thirdplace matches on May 31.

Local Restaurant Spotlight MY GREEK EXPANDS WITH BANQUET ROOM

T

acoma’s resident Greek hot spot My Greek just got a little hotter, with a banquet hall that can sit 40-45 people, giving a perfect atmosphere for business meetings or party events. The restaurant, which expanded from its home location in Puyallup last year, is quickly becoming known in the local Tacoma area, being featured on the Feb. 18 episode of “Mystery Diner,� where owner Nader Morcos cleaned house of a few employees dragging his finances down. The move was a success, and now the My Greek location in Tacoma is healthy enough to expand into a banquet room that can hold up to 45 people. With the new hall and a mix of food that anyone can enjoy, My Greek is quickly becoming a go-to place for meetings of any kind. “Business meetings or family parties are perfect for [the banquet room],� Morcos said. The restaurant still offers a mix of classic Greek, Italian and American foods. Complimenting the large group atmosphere of the banquet hall are several different platters My Greek offers, including the original soulvaki platter – four skewers of your choice with two salads, two sides, grilled focaccia bread and house baklava for $24.95. For those a little hungrier, the Vincenti deluxe platter puts more meat on the table, with two souvlaki skewers of your choice with moussaka, two pieces of spanakopita, gyro meat, two sides, two salads and house baklava for $34.95.

For a family-sized meal, try the house special pizza. Pepperoni, salami, sausage, ground beef, bacon, mushroom, onions and bell pepper make a classic Italian pizza. A large for $19.95 is enough to feed a group of people, and smaller sizes are available for $15.45 and $12.95. The restaurant has no problem infusing Greek classics into its pizza as evidenced by the gyro special: gyro meat, onions, fresh tomato and feta on the same pricing scale as the house special. For family gatherings in the banquet room, My Greek offers a variety of kids menu options for $5.95 that include soda and ice cream. Options for the entrĂŠe include gyros, soulvaki wraps, chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese and more.

Environmental Health students. Law, history and public policy majors will mount “Vote Your Interest, Not Your Ignorance,� and psychology students will tackle “Cluster Suicides in High Schools,� “Mental Health and Its Connection to Homelessness, Addiction and Incarceration,� and “Strategies for Mental Health Wellness with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.� Also on the agenda: meth, teeth, food sustainability, diabetes, andropause, asthma, domestic violence, adverse childhood experiences, human trafficking, venereal diseases, access to health care and getting kids off the computer and outside to play are all on the agenda. Tough as some of those topics are, students have made them accessible, and accompanied a good many of them with resource materials. The idea, after all, is to share the knowledge with the community, said student coordinators Julia Brown and Rachel Murray-Hearn. “It’s a chance to give back to the community,� Brown said.

“It’s presenting a doable act,� Murray-Hearn added. “We want to take what we’ve learned and share it.� And, she said, they want to invite fairgoers to taste the energy, kindness and excitement they feel at Evergreen. “We are vibrant,� she said. “A life force.� At 53 and 55 respectively, Murray-Hearn and Brown are proud to be part of a student body rich in every kind of diversity. They came with life experience and a service ethic that Mimms, the college’s founding force, impresses on students with every visit. “It’s huge in the cultural explosion that goes on here,� Murray-Hearn said. “It changes people, and you get to watch.� Prejudices fall in conversations where participants hold accountability as a primary value. Fears wither in an atmosphere that values collaboration over competition. Apathy dissolves when strengthened by the power of an Evergreen education. All of that, they said, and the unique Tacoma flavor of their education will be on display behind the posters, exhibits and participation challenges from 1-4 p.m. Saturday.

what they need to grow shells, can kill some types of crabs, can impede the ability of coral to grow and can make red tides even more toxic,� Kilmer said. “We’re only beginning to understand how ocean acid-

individual fishermen. “What we do know is that existing information indicates a direct threat to crustaceans if pH continues to fall,� Thevik said. Washington State leads the nation in producing farmed clams, oysters and mussels, with the commercial and recreational fishing industry supporting more than 67,000 jobs and more than $300 million in revenue. “A couple years ago we employed nine people shucking oysters and now we’re down to about one and a half,� James said, noting that there aren’t very many jobs in Lilliwaup and the Hama Hama oyster farm does much for the town’s economy. “The region I represent

mayor too powerful and alienate resident while also costing more than the current system with the added staff required. Baarsma championed the change and countered those fears by pointing out that Spokane, a comparable-sized city, as the basic system outlined in the recommendation and pays about $400,000 less than Tacoma does now. That savings comes from cost comparison between the current city manager’s salary and that of the range expected for a chief administrative officer and savings from a smaller City Council, even with the addition of support staff positions.

has some areas that are the highest unemployment areas in the state, so we can’t afford to lose any of those jobs,� Kilmer said. John and Ross Swanes expressed the same concern over the depleting number of oysters. “About three years ago we started asking some of our growers in Willapa (Bay) and Puget Sound for more oysters and they said there aren’t anymore: ‘We’re harvesting all we can and the yields are extremely low.’ This is a problem from just one of our supply sources,� Ross Swanes said. “We cannot get enough to sell.� Northern Fish is a family-owned seafood business that has been in operation for more than a century. The company supplies fish and seafood throughout the Pacific Northwest and provides more than 70 year-round jobs in Pierce County. To stimulate action on ocean acidification, Kilmer will present the Ocean Acidification Innovation

Tacoma spends $2 million on city administration in the city manager and council departments, while Spokane pays $1.6 million. Any recommendations not slated by the council to be put on the ballot could be championed by citizen groups to gather petition signatures to force the issue. The group would have to gather about 3,200 signatures to put the recommendation on the ballot since state law sets the number as 10 percent of the last mayoral election could. Since Strickland ran unopposed during the last election, the threshold of 3,200 names is significantly low. “If that is the route it takes, it seems to me to be a very low bar,� Baarsma said, noting that he has no plans to participate in that effort if one is organized.

Act to Congress. “What this bill will do is allow federal agencies to design public competitions to encourage increased investments in solutions to manage, research and monitor ocean acidification and its impacts,� Kilmer said. His bill isn’t asking for new money, but rather to use existing dollars toward greater impact. “These public competitions can leverage existing federal dollars and give researchers the flexibility to use new and innovative efforts to address this threat.� Kilmer said the federal government has used prize competitions in the past and has discovered a few benefits, such as getting more brains involved in solving a problem. “In the aggregate, prizes can leverage 4-10 times more value than the amount of the prize. So you can reward a grant for $5 million and you get in return $5 million in research or you can put out a prize and get $20-$50 million

of investment in research because more and more researchers and players get involved. That is what this bill is focused on. “We need to find innovative solutions to the problems and focus more attention on research.� Klinger said Kilmer’s efforts are of huge importance and could impact the world over. “Washington State is a national leader in addressing ocean acidification,� she said. “Our progress on this is being watched closely on a national and international level.� Ross Swanes agreed. “The neat thing about Derek’s bill is that this is something we can share globally to help solve our problem in the Northwest. We’re excited to start talking to our customers about it because it really is something we want to be able to share with developing countries that have the opportunity for aquaculture so we can get more food – it’s that simple.�

ed’ to Intimate, new Girl Trouble film ‘Strictly Sacr make its debut at Seattle International Film Festival

H

alf an hour into “Strictly Sacred” – an intimate and engaging new documentary about Tacoma garage-punk band Girl Trouble – drummer Bon Henderson, a.k.a. Bon Von Wheelie, shares a few questions she’s been e-mailed by some clueless reporter. “Tell me the saga of Girl Trouble, one of the forgotten bands of the Northwest music scene,” she reads. “Girl Trouble ended. Where did you all go next? What’s been keeping you occupied?” Henderson is not amused. “All right, buddy, we’re still around,” she says. “As pathetic as that is, we are still around.” Girl Trouble – also singer Kurt Kendall, bassist Dale Phillips and Henderson’s guitar-playing baby bro, Bill “Kahuna” Henderson – is alive and well, as the dedicated cult that still follows the band knows but the aforementioned scene gets to the heart of the group’s ambiguous legacy. Sure, Girl Trouble has largely been “eluding fame since 1984,” as the band’s cynical slogan goes. They looked on from the sidelines as peers cashed in during the grunge explosion of the early ‘90s. But you can hardly say the band has been “forgotten.” Girl Trouble has influenced regional rock in ways that often get overlooked, from their days as early stars on the rosters of K and Sub Pop records to their undying support and participation in the local do-it-yourself rock scene. “Strictly Sacred” will make its debut on May 26 during the Seattle International Film Festival, with screenings at 5 p.m. at SIFF Cinema Uptown, 511 Queen Anne Ave. N., in Seattle, and 8:30 p.m. at Renton IKEA Peforming Arts Center, 400 S. Second St. The movie, directed by Isaac Olsen, paints a portrait of four lovable rock misfits that made a difference not touring the globe, but by staying firmly rooted and involved in the community they so obviously love. “Other bands, their ambitions exceeded the confines of their actual life,” says popular graphic artist Art Chantry, heavily quoted in the film. “I really admire the determination to stay put. That took guts.”

The Girl Trouble story begins with Bon, a self-proclaimed “weirdo” and kind of a precursor to the punk feminism Bikini Kill and Bratmobile would take to the masses decades later. “I promise to never wear lipstick at any time in my life,” she says, reading vows jotted down in sixth grade. “I promise to never wear high heels, have my hair done up or wear dresses. I promise never to like boys, except for the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Manfred Mann. And, most of all, I promise never to get married. Signed, Bonnie Henderson.” Born on the day the Beatles played “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964, Kahuna was all but doomed to play rock n’ roll. In a series of family photos, we see him transform from a nerdy kid whose hobby is making his own “Star Trek” phasers to a surly punk-rocker with new obsessions. “I remember pulling out this Ramones record, and they looked just like I did,” he recalls, laughing. “My personality just changed. ... I just got real mean, and I wanted to fight everybody.” When he wants to start a band, he teams up with mild-mannered Dale, and Bon manages to wedge her way into the mix after buying a thrift store drum kit. “I didn’t ask Bill would this be okay,” she recalls. “I just bought it and set it up.” The missing ingredient is Kendall, a tall, affable scenester from Spokane the Hendersons first encountered some weird night at Bob’s Java Jive. “Kurt would be the funnest guy at a party,” Bill recalls. “We were like, ‘That guy has gotta get in a band, and we hope it’s ours.’” The quartet plays its first sets at an infamous 56th Street party house that served as ground zero for the local punk scene, circa 1983, until it was raided by the cops. “I lived there once from three months, and I could not take it,” Kurt recalls during one of the film’s funnier moments. “Some chick would be crashed out in my bed, passed out. It’s like, ‘Is she alive? Who’s not doing heroin in this place.’” The band officially becomes Girl Trouble, switching its name from Boneyard in time for a battle of the bands held on March 9, 1984 at Fort Steilacoom Community College (currently Pierce College).

Dale jokes about the dynamic that took shape back then and persists to this day. “Bon’s the mom. Bill and Kurt are her two kids; and I’m the kid who lives down the street,” he says. Olsen is the Hendersons’ nephew and a longtime Girl Trouble collaborator, which helped him get his hands on loads of great concert footage, photos and rare recordings that he skillfully weaves together to cover the band’s long, storied career. There’s grainy video from Jim May’s Community World Theater, a short-lived but legendary Tacoma venue that served as a launching pad for Girl Trouble, Nirvana and others, in 1987 and 1988. Alt-country star Neko Case go-go dances onstage; she was the band’s pal when she lived in Tacoma in the ‘80s and ‘90s long before she appeared on NPR or Letterman. And of course there’s lots of the late Sylvia Eads, a.k.a. Granny Go Go, the eccentric old lady who became a local celebrity dancing on “Stu Martin’s Late Date at the Movies” in the ‘60s. She later became a staple at Girl Trouble shows, and the part of the film is both hilarious and touching. In “Strictly Sacred,” Olsen has delivered a substantial film that deserves a wider audience. Still, there are some priceless “inside baseball” moments, too, that play much better at home. If you’ve followed Girl Trouble, or even spent much time in Tacoma and Olympia rock clubs, it’s must-see viewing. Keep your eyes peeled; you may spot yourself dancing in the crowd. “Strictly Sacred: The Story of Girl Trouble,” will make its world premier on May 26 at the Seattle International Film Festival with screenings at 5 p.m. at SIFF Cinema Uptown, 511 Queen Anne Ave. N., in Seattle, and 8:30 p.m. at Renton IKEA Peforming Arts Center, 400 S. Second St., in Renton. General admission tickets are $12. See www.siff.net/festival-2014/strictlysacred for further details.

Mexican rock duo Rodrigo y Gabriela dazzle Paramount audience

Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero – the Mexican rock duo better known as Rodrigo y Gabriela - finished their 10city Dead Alive Tour in front of a packed house of adoring fans on May 11 at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. The pair specialize in fast, rhythmic acoustic jams rooted in Latin and metal traditions, on Red Bull. Rodrigo y Gabriela creates tandem magic with the marriage of two souls. Gabreila’s flamenco style, with her flying fingers tapping and knuckling the guitar, develops the bass line that is intertwined with Rodigo’s unmatched

clarity of a clean acoustic guitar sound. The mixture of both create musical candy for the soul. The audience at many times was on its feet as if it was an arena rock show. The set took the crowd for a ride from the beautiful melodies to the high energy hard driving duo guitars melding into one sound. Ever sit in a concert and close your eyes just to have an unhindered absorption of the musical magic? I did. Bill Bungard, special to Tacoma Weekly

or the third week in a row, we are examining art done by students of the local colleges. Work by seniors of the four-year schools, Pacific Lutheran University and University of Puget Sound, has been reviewed. This week we visit the Gallery at Tacoma Community College, which is running its 2014 Student Art Exhibition. The strongest work coming out of TCC is in the printmaking, drawing and the ceramic arts. The gallery’s entry area is alive with a display of brilliantly hued prints that are wonderfully executed with a pop-art vibe. Ashley Ngo’s “Tangerine,� Morrina Patrice’s “Bad Dye Job� and two of Katie Anderson’s prints, “Skadi� and “Deep Sea Encounter� are just a few examples of the crisp, colorful work coming out of TCC’s print studio which is under the able leadership of instructor Marit Berg. Drawings in color pencil and graphite are well represented in the show. Kathy Ung’s “Eden,� E. Rudenko’s “Rabbit and Purse� and Tiara Wooten’s “Ribbon� all stand out in the color pencil category. Students of the dynamic Alice Di Certo have done some work in ink that dazzles the eye. Nuk Zorne’s “A Galaxy,� a complex construction using the letter “A,� is simply amazing. The several works by Mackenzie Adix also stand out. “Dolls and Daring-Do� is an amusing depiction of animae-like figures made into a yenyang style composition in crisp black and white. The TCC ceramics department is more or

less the offspring of the UPS ceramics department (which holds a venerable place in the history of ceramics in the Pacific Northwest). Students of the ceramic instructors Rick Mahaffey and Reid Ozaki (both UPS alum) are keeping up the tradition with a lavish display of vases, teapots, bottles, plates and sculptures. A tour de force of glazing virtuosity and surface effects are to be seen on David Rasmussen’s lidded vessel, Jill Rohrbaugh’s wood fired pot, Susan Thompson’s green, fishscaly “Oval Box,� Frank Dippolito’s oil-spot bowls, and Irina Lituinyuk’s “Diamond Pot.� Nathan Himes’ “Tree Vase� features a delicate tree inscribed into its dark, blue side. Janet L. Rudolph’s plate is glazed in bands of color that bring to mind a Rothko painting. Megan Ostermick’s “Teapot with wax resist� is a dainty, butterscotchcolored affair graced with delicate little vines in tans and browns.

Students of the TCC sculpture department put out some wild stuff, no doubt reflecting the influence of the iconoclastic and ever-inventive Kyle Dillehay. Nichole Crockett’s “My Twin� is a series of white, plaster hands arranged up and down the length of an old baseball bat that is mounted on a big hunk of wood. Brian Hughes’ “Cooperation� consists of a bunch of tiny hands (forming various signs) that are in a large bowl filled with clear, polyvinyl resin. Anthony Culanag’s photography students, Justace Buhl Brennan, Matthew Guy and Kasey Anderson, are doing some amazing things with open lens light effects. The latter’s figure outlined in colorful streaks of light is especially mysterious. In sum, this is a great show with plenty to jiggle the olfactory nerves. TCC Student Art Exhibition runs through June 12. For further information, visit www.tacomacc.edu/campuslife/thegallery.

Black Keys set for LOCAL CHURCHES TO HOST Seattle concert GREAT MUSIC THIS WEEKEND

THE BLACK KEYS

PHOTO BY DANNY CLINCH

T

he Black Keys will return to Seattle’s KeyArena on Nov. 1. The popular blues-rock duo recently announced stops for its 42-date arena tour, with the North American leg kicking off on Sept. 5 in Columbus, Ohio. The Keys recruited St. Vincent, Cage the Elephant and Jake Bugg to open, though Ticketmaster only lists Bugg as the supporting act in Seattle. The Black Keys will be out in support of their new album “Turn Blue,� which was co-produced by Brian “Dangermouse� Burton with band members Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney and released on May 13. The last time Auerbach and Carney were in town, in 2012, they invited the Sonics to hang out backstage and paid homage to the Tacoma garage-rock legends during their set. They patterned their remake of “Have Love Will Travel,� from 2003’s “Thickfreakness� album, after the Sonics’ version of Richard Berry’s song. Tickets for the Seattle show will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. on May 16, with prices ranging from $31 to $71. Ernest A. Jasmin, Tacoma Weekly

LATIN JAZZ. Latin Grammy-nominated jass artist Jovino Santos Neto will perform, along with his quintet at Marine View Presbyterian Church May 18

T

hree of the hottest shows headed to Tacoma this weekend will be in local churches. In last week’s edition, you may have read about Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle’s upcoming appearance on May 17 at Urban Grace Church. (See the Nightlife Calendar on B5 for ticket info.) And now two more hot tickets will bring singer-songwriter Adam Levy and Latin Grammynominated jazz composer Jovino Santos Neto to town on May 18. The Brazilian-born Neto will appear with Jovino Santos Neto Quintet at 5 p.m. as part of the monthly Jazz LIVE series at Marine View Presbyterian Church, 8469 East Side Dr., NE, in Browns Point. Neto honed his chops in Rio de Janeiro from 1977 to 1992 with Brazilian master Hermeto Pascoal’s group before moving to Seattle. His imaginative and interactive playing has continued through the release of his 2011 release “Current,� highlighting his lengthy collaboration with some of the Northwest’s finest instrumentalists. “He builds on the forms created by earlier generations, mixing them with jazz even more than those who came before him, until it’s almost a new hybrid that joins North and Latin American styles,� critic Chris Nickson writes for AllMusic.com. Appearing with Jovino at Marine View will be vibraphonist Ben Thomas, bassist Chuck Deardorf, Mark Ivester on drums and Jeff Busch on percussion. Music starts at 5

p.m., and the show is free and open to all ages; (253) 9270557 or www.marineviewpc.org for further details. At that same time, Levy – the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and jazz guitarist best known for playing with Norah Jones’ Handsome Band – will headline the monthly Blues Vespers series at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 901 N. J St., in Tacoma. Levy appears on Jones’ Grammy-winning debut smash “Come Away with Me� and follow-up albums “Feels Like Home� and “Not Too Late.� His playing is also featured on Tracy Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason� and releases by Amos Lee, Sex Mob and Chris Difford, among others. Levy tackles a variety of playing styles on his solo work. His latest releases include April’s blues and jazz-oriented “Town & Country,� which features appearances by Matt Chamberlain and Larry Goldings, last year’s folk-pop focused “Portuguese Subtitles� and “Live from Sun Studios,� a collaboration with the Mint Imperials he recorded at Memphis studio where Elvis, Johnny Cash, B.B. King and others recorded some of their early hits. In Tacoma, Levy will be joined by local cellist Emily Peterson who is best known for her work with Tacoma’s Goldfinch and as co-founder of the Coda School of Music. The Vespers concert will also include poetry and a brief meditation. Admission is free, though a collection will be taken to support the artists.

guitar with Jesse. That version of the band was a very creative period for all of us. We stayed months at a time in L.A., doing club dates on The Strip and quite a few showcases for the labels. We met with (record mogul David) Geffen, recorded another single, “I Need Your Love/I Dream,� then went over to Japan and played for a couple months. In a little aside, we met Rod Stewart in a disco in Tokyo, and he was very cordial. I believe that he and our sound man, Jim Butler, had a few drinks together. When we got back, we recorded and released our album “The Difference� and went back to L.A. for more club dates. Some of it’s a little hazy for me, but that’s the gist of that time period. TW: When and why did you break up? Barger: By 1990, things had just run their course. Robert and his girlfriend were moving to L.A., and we all knew it was time to move on. We were all still friends, but everyone was ready for change in their lives. After Rob moved, I got a call to come down and rehearse for one last tour of Korea. That final lineup of Strypes included Bobby D’Angelo, who is now with Mechanism. It was a lot of fun and a great way to end things on a high note. TW: What made you decided to get back together for this reunion show? Barger: Strangely Alright rents rehearsal space at Musician’s Exchange (Robert’s store) and Jesse gives guitar lessons there every other week. So I occasionally see both of them ,and we talk about what we are all up to and catch up on family and friends stuff. I’ve also been in touch and followed Bobby’s musical endeavors with

hese days, Regan Barger is best known as the main singer-songwriter for Strangely Alright, the Tacoma rock band that released its debut album, “The Time Machine Is Broken,� on Maurice the Fish Records. But, once upon a time, he was better known as the front man for local new wave band Strypes, one of Tacoma’s most popular acts of the Reagan Era. That band will get back together, for one night only, on May 24 at Jazzbones; so we asked Barger to revisit his old band’s rise, fall and reunion. Tacoma Weekly: When did you first form Strypes? Barger: Jesse and Robert formed Strypes in the late 70’s. I joined in 1981 after leaving Baby Knockors. Jesse wanted me to play bass and sing lead, and Strypes were great musicians who had great production and sound and light guys! So it was a cool gig to get into. Baby Knockors had done a single, and Strypes were interested in doing the same and also let me bring in some of my songs. We recorded one of Jesse’s songs as the first single - “Ups With Downs� - and we were off and running. TW: Give me some reference points for the sound you came up with? Barger: We loved British rock and the darker new wave stuff: Rod Stewart and Faces, The Stones, Depeche Mode,David Bowie, Mott The Hoople, Marc Bolan and T-Rex. Jesse turned me on to The Cure and Skinny Puppy. We were fascinated with the glamorous underbelly of rock. I remember how excited we were when we met Johnny Thunders, the former lead guitarist from The New York Dolls after a show in Portland. And anything Keith Richards. We immersed ourselves in the whole “elegantly wasted� thing. Being young, it felt like we were invincible. Crazy when I think about it; people were dying around us and yet the party still carried on... TW: What stands out about the band’s first run? What were some of the highlights? Barger: When Steve Fossen (formerly of Heart) came in to play bass. I moved to playing rhythm

Mechanism, which I’m a big fan of. Jesse was complementing me on the Strangely Alright CD, “The Time Machine Is Broken,� and told me how cool it was that I was doing it NOW. I started thinking about the chemistry that he and I had and how it would be cool to do the Strypes thing in sobriety. As I mentioned the possibility of a show, people were genuinely enthusiastic and excited to see us again. We haven’t been in touch with our old drummer Andy Morrison, so Strangely Alright’s current drummer, Preston Darvill – who feels like he should have lived in the 80’s – said yes when I asked if he would play with us. TW: What are your future plans? Or is this a one and done thing? Barger: This is a one and done thing. I’m in Strangely Alright. Bob is in Mechanism. Robert is doing live work with various bands around town, and Jesse lives in Bellingham, has his teaching business and plays some jazz shows with his brother, Mark. I’m real excited to share the stage with my old friends in Strypes; and even though I’m very proud of the things Strypes did, and it was a huge part of my life, I’d rather work on new stuff. We just recorded basics for our second Strangely CD, and I’m really excited about the new batch of songs we have. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (99 MIN, R)

She writes blogs on gardening, ponds, natural health and herbal remedies and teaches classes through Free University (www.FreeUNW.com).

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Out with the old and in with the new. Clean out your closets and get rid of physical and emotional baggage that has been holding you back. Give to charity or sell some items at a consignment shop. You are making room for new relationships and experiences that are coming soon. TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) You may use your welcoming charm this week to lead the group or meeting and help smooth over tensions. All the ingredients are available to you for success and advancement. Get yourself organized and keep developing that plan. Productivity helps settle restless minds. GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Subtle efforts prove more seductive than overdoing it. You are swimming with ideas for ways to enhance your life. Your partner may not always agree but can be persuaded with a gentle approach. Many people admire your upbeat personality.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Concentrate on practical problems that will help you set your goals. The universe is helping you find perfect solutions so waste no time implementing your plans. Avoid intellectual pursuits or people that may be distractions. Stay focused to move forward. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You are a great thinker and creator of systems. Share your brilliance with others that may mutually benefit from your ideas. A lot of attention may come your way so look your best and smile. An old friend or lover may suddenly surprise you with a message or gift.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Human passions that escaped you in the past become crystal clear. Tensions and disorganization at the home front or work place may have robbed some of your fiery energy. Rest and relax to overcome this, remembering to take things day by day. Changes are coming.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Get those important tasks done now to avoid red tape later. It should be easier for you to accomplish a lot this week, as communication channels that are normally closed are wide open. Take advantage of this and don’t procrastinate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) People may be shocked at how much you can accomplish in one day. You can invent practical solutions for everyday problems. Things run smoothly with you in charge. Train others so they can do the same. Reward yourself with a special treat only you would love.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Do you feel surrounded by people who make mountains out of mole hills? Exaggerate problems and try to pull you into their drama? Use your talent to overcome social blunders to help those who need you. Or you may choose to avoid them altogether.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Finally, a relief in the tension. The flow of communication facilitates personal and professional projects. Consider all important issues and investments that need your attention. Ask trusted advisors for valued input in brainstorming your plans. Listen and observe. Be open to new ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) This week highlights your visions and aspirations. People may think you are conservative at times. You could come up with a unique and effective way to help people. Write down your important ideas for future use. Practical problems seem easy to solve.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Love is not dependent on emotional promises. Gifts should be given with a pure heart and not to win people over. Someone in your life may give you something. You may want to question the intention – is it truly genuine or is there another motive for this generosity?
