EVERY FISH COUNTS, EVERY FISH IS COUNTED By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Puyallup Tribal Fisheries biologists spend their summer mornings and evenings performing a ritual of highest importance on the Puyallup River. They collect, tag, measure and record fish collected from its spiral trap during the fishing season to tabulate fish counts. That information is not only used to calculate the number of fish in the river but assess the overall health of the waterway. The device is a 13-foot by 40-foot platform that shelters a large screw trap that funnels fish into a collection pool for observation and measurement. Water temperature, depth and clarity are also tested on the floating science station. All of the fish are identified by species, size, age and status of being either wild or hatchery raised. “We only capture a portion of what comes down,” Tribal Biologist Andrew Berger said. That means a bit of math and projections come into play to determine the overall salmon stock in the river, but it’s a pretty good estimation. The tribe has been collecting data since 2000, after

Puyallup Tribe of Indians mourns the passing of Tribal Council Chairman

Herman Dillon Sr. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

ith heavy hearts the Puyallup Tribe of Indians announced the death of longtime Tribal Council Chairman Herman Dillon Sr. on Friday, May 23. After a lengthy illness, the 82-year-old Dillon passed away peacefully with his wife Darlene Dillon by his side. “Our whole family is grieving the loss of the head of our family,” said Dillon’s daughter Sheila Beckett. “We appreciate everyone’s condolences during this rough time. He was so important to all of us. He will be greatly missed.” Puyallup Tribal Vice Chairman Bill Sterud worked side-byside with Dillon for over three decades. “It’s a sad day on earth and a happy day in heaven,” Sterud said of his trusted friend. “Herman was a hard worker on the council for more than 35 years. He has been part of the movement of the tribe into where it is today. He was a veteran, a great family man, a dad, an uncle, a grandpa as well as a great tribal leader.” Sterud also noted Dillon’s easy laugh and smile. “He was the king of the one-liners. He had an incredible sense of humor.” Local, state and federal lawmakers have sent condolences to the Tribe and Dillon’s family. “We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Chairman Dillon’s passing,” Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland said. “He will be remembered for his dedication, warmth and leadership. As a member of the Tribal Council for over 20 years, he was a constant and reliable leader for the Tribe and the region. And in all those years, he always extended his full welcome to the City of Tacoma. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chairman Dillon’s family, the members of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the countless others whose lives he touched.” A personable and friendly man, Dillon was loved dearly by the tribal membership that first elected him to the Puyallup Tribal Council in 1971. Dillon served during critical historic moments in the Puyallup Tribe’s development into an influential and financially successful urban Indian tribe. Outside of the tribe, Dillon was highly respected by the many friends and political allies he worked with over the years. Whether meeting with city or state officials or testifying on Indian affairs in Washington, D.C., Dillon lived his life for his people. It was this passion and pride in being Native American, along with his kind demeanor, that drew so many to him from all walks of life. “Herman Dillon Sr. was our chairman for all of the years I

have served on the tribal council,” said Tribal Council Member Marguerite Edwards. “He has become a legend with his wry humor, quick wit and ability to manage the actions of a tribal council. With each council member having different opinions and positions on topics, it was with the same wry and witty humor that he kept things moving in an effortless fashion. “He had, over the years, become the epitome of the word ‘chairman,’ and an extremely natural and gifted Master of Ceremony. He was a kind and loving man. He raised many children, born to him and taken in by him. I will really miss Herman. In my mind I can see his cowboy boots and Pendleton coat on him as he sits in his chairman’s seat at the council table, and I know I will never forget him. I pray for his good journey home.” Dillon served his country as well. As a teenager, he joined the Unites States Naval Reserves just as World War II was coming to an end. The 17-year-old dropped out of Fife High School and spent four years in the reserves as a gunner and a radar worker. Just as he was leaving the reserves, Dillon was drafted into the Army in order to serve during the Korean Conflict. He spent two years, from 1952 to 1954, guarding the port and prisoner of war camps in Puson. He earned his General Educational Development (GED) certificate when he was 50 years old. Dillon was known for his commitment to helping youth, and took many children into his home as a foster parent. In recognition of his efforts to young people and involvement in the community, he was selected as a member of the Association of Washington Generals, a non-profit organization affiliated with the lieutenant governor’s office. Dillon is survived by his wife of 43 years Darlene Dillon; his younger sister Arlene Jackson; children Robert Dillon, Herman Dillon Jr., Steven Dillon Sr., Jenny Lee Roy, James Dillon, Diana Siddle, Michelle Dillon, Sheila Beckett, Julian Dillon, Justin Dillon, Alisha Beckett, and Stefanie Dillon; the many foster children he was father to; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins. A public viewing will be held on Saturday, May 31, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Hill Funeral Home, 217 E. Pioneer Ave., Puyallup, WA 98372. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, June 1 at the Tacoma Dome, 10 a.m. The public is welcome to attend. Graveside is at 1 p.m., dinner to follow at Chief Leschi School.

Earlier this month, we invited you to join “The Lucky Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer” conversation. We’d been bumping into people who, after they said, “Nice hat,” mentioned that they’d been sharing the stories with friends who are dealing with cancer. The articles, they said, reassure their friends that they are not alone in their fatigue, crankiness and optimism. They present opportunities to talk about cancer and how it’s affecting them. Talk, I’ve been learning, is a big part of this long slog. I want to hear what drugs the woman in the grocery store was on, how they affected her, what her husband

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK VISIT US ON FACEBOOK MHJLIVVR JVT [HJVTH^LLRS`

72nd and ‘A’ 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. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

/033;67 +0=,9:0;9,, )905.: BEAUTIFUL ENHANCEMENTS New blooming tree boulevards now greet visitors and residents to the Hilltop Business District. Yet, a part of the more than 240-tree Hilltop Diversitree project is another kind of beauty – the environmental benefits are lovely too. Trees reduce rain runoff and erosion by about 7 percent. Their leaves, branches and needles catch rain before it reaches the ground, allowing it to drip, slow down, and evaporate. To put the project’s storm water efforts into perspective: ¡ In order to make room for the trees, the city has “depavedâ€? a space around the Safeway grocery store equivalent in size to an Olympic-sized swimming pool . ¡ At maturity, these new trees will benefit downstream waterways by retaining enough rain water to fill that Olympic-sized swimming pool every two years. Tree planting in the â€?depavedâ€? areas around Safeway began last week with verities chosen to demonstrate a range of trees appropriate for planting under power lines. “An important part of this project is demonstrating diversity,â€? said Urban Forester Ramie Pierce, who noted that no individual tree species or genus makes up more than 6 percent of the tree types being planted. “Diversity is insurance for our urban forests to protect against, for example, an insect that has a tree it really likes. Rather than losing all of our trees we’d only loose that one type.â€? The project was made possible by a $100,000 anonymous donation to the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation and an additional Donald R. and Mary E. Williams Horticulture Fund of the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation donation of $30,000 for three years of project maintenance. Funding is also being provided by USDA Forest Service and Washington State Department of Natural Resources Urban and Community Forestry Program. A final phase of tree planting continues later this summer in coordination with a utility project that will create new South 11th Street tree medians. In 2009, the Hilltop Neighborhood Business District’s percentage of tree canopy stood at about 5 percent. The Diversitree project is estimated to increase that coverage to 12 percent, closing in on the 15 percent neighborhood business district goal outlined in the City Comprehensive Plan. The Tacoma’s Environmental Services Department promotes and increases Tacoma’s tree cover while enhancing right-of-ways to reduce surface water pollution and protect Puget Sound. Visit the City’s web site to learn more about Tacoma’s Hilltop Diversitree at cityoftacoma.org/ diversitree. ;(*64( 3052 -(9,: +,3(@,+ -69 ;>6 @,(9: On May 22, the Sound Transit Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal by board member and Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland for downtown Tacoma’s Business Improvement Area (BIA) to pay Sound Transit $29,000 a year for the next two years to cover net revenue from fares the agency was planning to collect beginning this September. “We are pleased the Board has agreed to accept the Business Improvement Area’s offer to offset the need to collect fares for the next two years,â€? said Strickland, who is also vice chair of the Sound Transit Board. “Tacoma Link is a great option for those who travel downtown and we must do all we can to promote ridership of this popular service. BIA is commended for stepping up and actively supporting public transportation as an integral benefit to businesses, tourism, the arts and the city overall.â€? Tacoma Link is currently the only service in the region that does not charge fares, due to a longstanding Sound Transit Board policy that only allows fare-free service in very limited circumstances, including when the cost of collecting fares exceeds potential revenue. With recent growth in ridership, Tacoma Link no longer falls under that policy. The outside support for covering Tacoma Link’s projected net revenues, also allowed by Board policy, will postpone the move to a fare collection system. Last September, the Sound Transit Board approved the implementation of fares on Tacoma Link to recover some of the costs of operating the system. Fares would have started this fall at $1.00 for adults, $0.75 for youth and $0.50 for seniors and riders with disabilities, with increases in 2016. Fares are now scheduled to start in September 2016 at $1.50 for adults and $0.75 for youth, seniors and riders with disabilities. ;(*64( 4(33 (9,( ;6 .,; *36:,9 3662 Thanks to a $250,000 National Estuary Program grant, Planning and Development Services Department staff

On June 7, the 2nd Annual Poker Run motorcycle event will raise money to benefit the History Museum’s Field Trip Transportation Fund, making it possible for more local children to learn more about Washington’s history. The Poker Run is a motorcycle event that begins at the History Museum and visits five different stops between Tacoma and Olympia, returning to end the day at The Swiss Restaurant & Pub. Participants pay an entrance fee and collect a poker card at each stop. At the end of the day, prizes are awarded for the best hand and worst hand. Last year’s event, which was born from the exhibit Let’s Ride! Motorcycling the Northwest, raised enough money to bring 700 kids to the Museum. “Immersing themselves in our region’s history is so important for Washington’s school children, but the biggest challenge is getting them here. We wanted to help remove the transportation barriers schools were facing,� explains Stephanie Lile, Head of Education at WSHS. “The funds raised by the Poker Run give us this opportunity.� The 2nd Annual Poker Run is organized by the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club in Tacoma, and a variety of individual riders and motorcycle club members from the Puget Sound participate. Schools who apply to the Field Trip Transportation Fund for assistance can be awarded up to $150. For more information, contact the WSHM Education Department at schoolprograms@wshs.wa.gov.

will soon begin work on a Tacoma Mall subarea plan and environmental impact statement. Public participation is expected to begin this fall and will continue into 2016. Targeted subarea plans set the stage for the right growth in the right location by: ¡ identifying area-wide environmental impacts of growth and development, ¡ working with the community to create a common long range vision, and ¡ leveraging public and private partnerships to stimulate the envisioned population and employment growth in a desired manner. The Tacoma Mall effort will include a strong focus on public outreach to the resident and business communities. Another focus will be assessing area-wide infrastructure needs, including innovative storm water management techniques and the feasibility of complete street improvements, meaning improved transportation options for pedestrians and bicyclists in addition to drivers. The Tacoma Mall area is a regionally designated growth center with significant capacity for jobs and housing in areas with the benefit of nearby transit services. That’s relevant because to meet the region’s goals for resource protection, climate change, smart growth and sustainability, as called for in the Puget Sound Regional Council’s VISION 2040 and in the city’s comprehensive plan, Tacoma must plan to accommodate a significant share of the central Puget Sound region’s population and employment growth. City staff has recently completed a subarea plan for the South Downtown and Hilltop neighborhoods and a plan for North Downtown is currently in process. The Tacoma Mall subarea plan effort is expected to run through 2016.

DETAILS NEEDED FOR UNSOLVED HOMICIDES By David Rose Correspondent

Two years ago this week, Pierce County Sheriff ’s investigators were called to a home near Puyallup, where Travis DAVID ROSE Dennis and his friend Jeffrey Poling had been shot to death. What detectives didn’t find inside the house told them a lot about the killer or killers. “It looked like evidence had been removed or an attempt had been made to destroy the evidence inside the house,� said Pierce County Sheriff Det. Brian Lund. He talked with Washington’s Most Wanted’s Cold Case Correspondent Parella Lewis recently about the murders. Dennis

and Poling were both discovered inside the same room, shot to death. Det. Lund explains, “At about 8 p.m. on Monday, May 28th 2012, the parents of one of the victims had lost contact and they came over here to check on them and discovered them inside the house.� Detectives believe whoever killed the men were not strangers. “The house appeared to be locked from the inside. All the shades were pulled. It appeared that whoever came into the house, the suspects were let in the house, possibly by the victim or someone else,� Lund recalled. Travis was Melani Carchano’s only son. She says his behavior had recently become strange. “Two years before he was murdered, I noticed a major change in my son,� Carchano explained. It was drugs. She tried

her best to save him during their last conversation. “I was just like Travis, there’s something going on. You’ve got to talk to mom, please. And he just said, ‘I love you mom.’ Everything’s going to be okay. But I knew when he walked out that something just didn’t feel right.� A few days later, he was dead. Police say his killer or killers took their time inside the house, leading them to believe this may have not been a first murder for the suspects. “It doesn’t appear to us like they were in a hurry to leave, so it could be somebody who has done this in the past,� Lund said. Investigators and the victim’s families are certain that the people responsible have talked and someone knows who did this, and hope they’ll finally come forward with what

they know. “We believe the people that were around Travis or had dealings with him, somebody knows something, but is fearful,� Lund adds. Carchano pleads for those people to tell what they know, “Please, if you know anything, no matter how big or how small it may be, please come forward.� Investigators spent two days processing the crime scene and have evidence that could lead to the killer or killers — they just need your help giving them another piece to this puzzle. If you know anything that can help solve this double murder, call an anonymous tip into Crime Stoppers of TacomaPierce County at 1-800-222tips. For more details and pictures, see ad below.

FREE FISHING WEEKEND SET FOR JUNE 7-8, 2014 By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The sport fishing season is a month old, but the local freshwater lakes have recently been stocked to ensure lines get tugged during the state’s annual “Free Fishing Weekend,â€? June 7 and 8, when fishing licenses are not required of anyone to fish in Washington. Freshwater fishing licenses are $29.50 this year, but are not required during the free weekend as a way to promote the sport for family camping plans and fishing outings without the full investment of a seasonal license. Teenagers can buy a license for $8.05, and seniors 70 and older can buy an annual freshwater fishing license for $7.50. Children 14 years of age and younger do not need a fishing license. Trout fishing kicked off April 26, but most lowland lakes have been restocked with millions of fish since then in preparation for the free weekend. “The lowland lakes season opener is the biggest fishing day of the year,â€? said Phil Anderson, director of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Lakes in every county are well-stocked.â€? To prepare for opening day, WDFW fish hatchery crews stocked nearly 16.5 million trout and kokanee in lakes on both sides of the Cascades. Those fish include 2.3 million catchable trout, nearly 115,000 jumbo trout weighing up to 11 pounds apiece, more than 50,000 triploid trout averaging 1½ pounds

A man has been arrested on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder following the incident. Police investigated the incident, which occurred at the corner of South 19th and L streets. The suspect was no stranger to police. He had actually just been released the previous day to face domestic violence charges in another case, just hours before the body of two people were found alongside evidence that links him to their deaths. Witnesses said the residence was often rocked with arguments and fights that lead to 911 calls and people transported into police custody. In another case, a man was hit by a car in downtown Tacoma last Friday afternoon and has rushed to the hospital. He died three days later. Police report that the man was working at an apartment and hit by an SUV head on while standing behind his truck. The man’s legs were crushed during the incident, but he was saved from bleeding to death immediately when his coworkers applied tourniquets. The driver of the SUV was detained during the investigation but showed no signs of being intoxicated. Charges are pending. Compiled by Steve Dunkelberger

apiece, and millions of smaller trout that were stocked last year that have grown to catchable size. Those waterways have also been restocked during May. WDFW has been working to expand Internet-based resources to suit anglers of all skill levels, so sports fisherman are encouraged to check the “Fish Washington� feature at the department’s homepage for details on fishing opportunities at particular lakes. The map-based webpage includes fishing information by county, lake and fish species throughout the state. For those planning fishing vacations this spring or summer, Donley recommends Great Washington Getaways, another WDFW homepage feature that showcases

some of the state’s best family travel and fishing opportunities. And, for those who prefer the show-and-tell approach, Donley recommends the department’s YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/thewdfw, with “how to� fishing videos designed to introduce techniques for both new and seasoned anglers.

Our Views

Looking at Mall zone makes sense Tacoma is embarking on a review of the zoning and development plans around the Tacoma Mall since it is has been designated as a “Regional Growth Center,� slated for higher residential density and more economic activity. The coming decades could mean 10-story residential towers and office buildings as well as more coordinated urban planning efforts to not only serve as a regional hub of commerce but a defined residential district, especially given the fact that the area has large patches of under used land that can be cobbled together into larger projects. While not as exciting as a look at downtown zoning rules and visions, the effort to better coordinate residential and commercial efforts in the area around the mall could bring big dividends to the rest of the city if done correctly. Congestion and strip malls don’t have to be part of its future. A little coordination could go a long way to make it a desirable neighborhood as well as a commercial hub. The above opinion represents the view of Tacoma Weekly’s editorial board.

Tacoma should embrace ridesharing services Uber and Lyft By Erik Bjornson During the last four years, Tacomans have watched as the highly popular ridesharing app companies Uber and Lyft were launched and are now thriving in the largest and most progressive cities in the United States including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Cleveland and dozens of other major cities. Tens of millions of Americans now have access to ridesharing services. The ridesharing app allows consumers to summon a ride from their cell phone rather than make a call and provides fast and inexpensive personal transportation service at the touch of a button. At the end of a ride, passengers are able to rate the driver. Likewise, drivers are able to rate the passenger making each party accountable for their behavior. Because payment is made exclusively by credit card, no cash changes hands making the transactions effortless and creating greater safety for both driver and passenger. The convenience, speed and low cost of ridesharing services have made them extremely popular not just in the United States, but around the world in cities such as London, Rome, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Amsterdam, Dublin in 36 different countries. Unfortunately, until recently, Tacoma has been excluded from

coverage from Uber and Lyft as the city had insufficient population to justify expanding ridesharing services here. However, after a long wait, ridesharing services finally arrived in Tacoma in April of 2014. Ridesharing services are critically important to a city to reduce reliance on automobiles, congestion, pollution, and demand for parking while supporting a vibrant economy. Studies have shown that ridesharing services greatly expand the number of people that are willing to use their automobile less often or not at all. They offer another option for partygoers to get a ride home without driving, and provide greater mobility for those unable or unwilling to drive or Tacomans without a functioning car. Hence, they are extremely progressive, “green,� and favorable for the environment, and should be strongly supported by the City of Tacoma. Councilmembers such as Ryan Mello have already come out publicly; strongly in support of ridesharing companies operating in Tacoma. Drivers are strongly drawn to Uber and Lyft as they often make $30 or more an hour in busy cities, and are able to set their schedules and work full or part time. Ridesharing companies also draw a significant number of women drivers. Until recently, ridesharing drivers who lived in Tacoma were forced to commute to Seattle or Bellevue to work. Now, finally, they can drive locally by

transporting Tacomans. With ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft now providing services nationwide and in dozens of Puget Sound cities including Seattle, Federal Way, Kirkland, Shoreline, Bellevue, Lakewood, Fife and Steilacoom, it would be quite harmful to local Tacoma residents and businesses to have it effectively banned in Tacoma as some of the proposed heavy handed regulations would do. There are only three legitimate areas of regulations that the Tacoma City Council should consider that other cities have addressed: 1) insurance coverage, 2) vehicle safety, and 3) background checks for drivers. Any other proposed regulations, would likely eliminate ridesharing services from being able to operate in Tacoma, squelching any competition with traditional taxi services. With ridesharing companies complying with these standards voluntarily, there is no need for Tacoma to take any regulatory action at this point. Tacoma need not attempt to invent the wheel on regulating ridesharing services. Seattle and King County, which encompasses the lion’s share of the population of Puget Sound, are currently working toward implementing reasonable regulations to address whatever the issues arise. Erik Bjornson is an attorney in downtown Tacoma and edits the online magazine Tacoma Sun.

WGU is an Unconventional Success Story By Don C. Brunell Imagine 350 college grads walking across the stage to receive their degrees in a ceremony with no valedictorian and no student honors. That is exactly what the 2014 graduating class looked like when WGU Washington held its third graduation ceremony earlier this month. Sounds unconventional and nontraditional? It is, and intentionally so. WGU Washington has no campus and the students are not required to attend courses in person. They do their coursework online with their mentors while they stay at home with their families. Most work, but all do their studies at their own pace, not the university’s or the instructors’. The average bachelor’s degree takes 30 months. WGU stands for Western Governors University. Founded in 1997 by 19 governors, it came to Washington in 2011 when then-Senator Jim Kastama (D-Puyallup) and Rep. Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney (D-Seattle) sponsored the legislation. The university serves working adults and the 950,000 state residents who have started – but not finished – their college degrees. The average age of the WGU Washington student is 36. Students come from urban, suburban and rural areas. WGU Washington uses competency-based instruction that measures learning rather than time in a classroom. In other words, you need to know the information thoroughly

before you move to the next level. It is a pass-fail system with no letter grades. The important thing is the student masters his or her work, so potential employers know they can do the job. It doesn’t matter if you miss a class where important information was covered because WGU Washington is self-paced with mentors tracking progress and assisting students to master the materials. And there’s another difference. Typically, after the graduation ceremony euphoria wears off for graduates of traditional colleges and universities and students are faced with starting a new life away from campus, finding a job and starting to repay their student loans. The cost of a college education is staggering these days and 71 percent of grads are leaving college with loans averaging almost $30,000 – and the Federal Reserve reports that student loan debt has nearly tripled over the last decade. That heavy debt weighs on students long after they leave college. Pew Research reports that households headed by a young (under 40) college-educated adult with no student debt accumulated seven times the net worth of households headed by a similarly situated person carrying student debt. And Pew found that student borrowers carried almost twice as much other debt (car loans, credit cards, mortgages) than nonborrowers. On the other hand, WGU

Washington is affordable because tuition is charged at a flat rate of approximately $6,000 per 12-month term for most programs. Rather than paying per credit hour, students may complete as many courses as they are able during a term without incurring additional costs. Compounding the problem for the graduates of traditional brick and mortar campuses is the job market remains tight. According to an Accenture survey, only 11 percent of this year’s graduates are leaving college with a job offer in hand. And almost half of graduates from 2012 and 2013 report they are underemployed and working in jobs that have nothing to do with their college degrees. Compare that to WGU graduates. In a 2011 Lighthouse Research survey of nearly 4,000 grads, 65 percent reported they got a raise, promotion or new job responsibilities as a result of their WGU degree and three out of four reported they were employed in their degree field. Does this mean that WGU will replace the traditional college campus? No, but it offers working students and those who dropped out of college another affordable option. Don C.

BIA ‘gift’ is good for them and for Tacoma Downtown businesses put their money where it counts with the recent offer to pay Sound Transit $58,000 during the next two years to keep the Link light rail service free to riders looking for lunch and gifts downtown. It is a generous offer and a great gift for Tacoma. Sound Transit’s board wisely accepted the deal. The alternative would have meant that riders would have to start paying $1 to 1.50 per ride from the Tacoma Dome to the Theater District, which would have dramatically lead to lower ridership and fewer shoppers downtown. That scenario would not have been good for anyone, so the Business Improvement District members opted to pay $29,000 a year for the next two years, an amount Sound Transit would have collected from fares after paying for the collection boxes to gather the fares. Sound Transit had opted last year to start gathering tolls on the Link as a way to help pay for the operation of the service, noting that it is the last of Sound Transit’s light rail projects to remain free at a time when tolls only cover about 20 percent of the services. Tacoma’s Link will remain free through 2016 as it has been since it started in 2003. Annual ridership topped a million passengers a year, but the addition of a toll would have dropped that to about 800,000 riders at a time when downtown needs every potential shopper it can muster, so the decision to pay up front to keep it free to passengers makes sense for the 300 business owners who make up the BIA’s membership. But it is also good for Tacomans. Anything that gets people out of their cars and onto the streets lined with storefronts is a good thing for the community and the businesses that make Tacoma a city. The free rides, however, won’t last forever. The plans for expanding the route to Martin Luther King Jr. Way will come long after this gift has expired. And funding that $180 million project has its own troubles. But this at least keeps the route free as it has been at a time when downtown needs all the help it can get. The above opinion represents the view of Tacoma Weekly’s editorial board.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Ending poverty is important to achieving peace and human rights in our world. (“Ending Poverty Through Education� by Steve Dunkelberger, TW, May 23, 2014) Education is truly one of the most important roads to do this. With education, birth rates go down, disease is less of a problem, and democracy has a better chance. The Global Partnership for Education has helped developing countries put 22 million children in school so far. To continue with this work, the GPE is holding a funding conference in June. America’s donation of $250 million toward the $3.5 billion goal will inspire other donors and help put 29 million more children in school. Citizens can help make this a reality by calling the President (202) 456-1111 and asking him to make this pledge. Imagine the smiles on the faces of 29 million new students.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT SUPPORTING THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY

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.

Support For Our Native Community To the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the word “communityâ€? means more than their own membership circle. With over 4,600 Puyallup tribal members locally and across the country, and an Indian population of over 24,000 in the tri-county area, the Puyallup Tribe takes great pride in continuing its ancestral ways by caring for Native American people across the board. HEALTHCARE The Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) opened in 1974 and today offers a wide variety of services annually to a patient population of over 12,000 from more than 200 tribes. Services provided include medical, pediatrics, dental, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, mental health counseling, tobacco cessation programs, problem gambling programs, and alcohol and drug treatment programs. Following the vision of continuous improvement, the Health Authority recently completed a 10,000-square-foot expansion, and is in the process of a renovation project that at completion will provide much needed clinical space by adding 13 exam rooms, six pediatric exam rooms and three dental operatories. PTHA was the first tribal clinic in the country to start an Osteopathic Family Medicine Residency in 2012. It began with two residents, and it was quickly recognized that expanding to four would go a long way toward filling access gaps. Four new residents began training in July. The residency will reach full capacity in FY15 with 12 residents. The vision of this program is to train new doctors to work in Indian Country with full understanding of how health is affected by the cultural, environmental and familial aspects of tribal communities. “We want to train healers not just technicians,â€? said Clinical Director Dr. Alan Shelton, MD. PTHA received national attention from the White House when President Obama addressed PTHA’s great success in a speech at the 2013 Tribal Nations Conference (in part): â€œâ€Ś[T]he Puyallup Tribal Health Authority in Washington State created the country’s first tribal family medicine residency program. Patients are cared for in a culturally sensitive way, often by Native American staff. And we’re seeing results – a young physician caring for a revered Tribal Elder; a doctor who has delivered babies in the community for years, and now his son is also doing the same. And that’s creating more quality health care, but also sustaining bonds between generations. That’s progress that we need to build on.â€? ELDERS Caring for their elders is a top priority for the Tribe, with $4.5 million spent last year on elder care services. The Tribe’s beautiful House of Respect Elders Center – a $13 million facility opened in 2009 – stands as testament to the Puyallups’ deeply held reverence for their elder membership. The center, located on a historically significant site above the Puyallup River, offers a variety of health and recreational options for Puyallup elders over 45 years old.

Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen’s (back row, left) archery classes at Chief Leschi Schools have been a real hit with children and adults.

YOUTH For the youth, the Tribe works to proactively instill positive values in its young members as early as possible through several important means: Puyallup Tribal Community Center – This 34,000square-foot facility includes a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility will also accommodate gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals and cultural activities. Chief Leschi Schools – Providing a Native-focused academic environment for children in pre-kindergarten through high school, Chief Leschi Schools serves Native American students from more than 60 different tribes with current enrollment of approximately 890 students. As one of the largest Bureau of Indian Education (BIA) schools constructed in the nation, the 200,000square-foot school is intended to be a model for Native American programs around the country. Grandview Early Learning Center – Providing quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community, during 2013 Grandview Early Learning Center served over 120 families and 210 children. Education opportunities within the Tribe don’t stop there. For its members seeking higher education after

high school, or their general equivalency degree (GED), the Puyallup Tribe ensures that funding is available for tuition assistance, books, tutoring and more. HOUSING Believing that everyone deserves a comfortable home to live in, the Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority (PNHA) strive to provide safe and sanitary housing for Puyallup tribal members and other Native Americans. During 2012, the Housing Authority spent over $4 million providing housing assistance to approximately 150 households. The recently completed Phase II of the Northeast Longhouse project in Tacoma added another 10 townhomes to the complex for a total of 20 townhomes. These housing units were built in an energy efficient manner and are culturally relevant to the community. Beyond providing safe and affordable housing, the Longhouse project also revitalized a struggling neighborhood. As the project came together, a long-stalled construction project across the street started up once again. Today, new singlefamily homes are now for sale on non-tribal land across the street.

TACOMA RAINIERS

SPOTLIGHT ON: LOGAN BAWCOM RAINIERS’ RELIEF PITCHER ENJOYS THE PRESSURES OF HIS JOB

PHOTO BY RICHARD TRASK/TACOMA RAINIERS

YAKKER. The Texan looks to regain the form that saw him make 51 appearances for the Rainiers in 2013. By Karen Westeen Missbaseball9@juno.com

R

ainiers’ relief pitcher Logan Bawcom pitched in Tacoma in 2013. In the 51 games in which he appeared, he led the staff in games, saves (21), and games finished (39). He also held opponents scoreless in 40 of those 51 appearances, and ranked fifth in the Pacific Coast League in saves. For his excellent work, he was selected as the club’s Pitcher of the Year at the end of the season. As of May 26, his record is 1-2 with six saves in 17 games, and a 7.02 ERA. The right hander sat down recently with Tacoma Weekly’s baseball correspondent Karen Westeen to talk about his four-plus year career in professional baseball.

KW: You’re 25 now, so it shouldn’t be too hard for you to remember your earliest baseball memory. LB: When I was 10 or 11, we would go to the park after church. That’s how I learned to hit and field. I had to keep up with my older brother and his older friends or sit in the dugout. KW: Did you play a lot of different sports in school? LB: Yes, I was in Little League, Babe Ruth and on travel ball teams. I also played against Carson Smith (currently a Rainiers teammate) in high school and in college. I played football, soccer, basketball and baseball growing up. In high school basketball, baseball and especially football, which was big in west Texas. KW: You were born and grew up in Lubbock, Texas. Where do you live now? LB: In the Dallas-Austin, Texas area. KW: Where did you go to college? LB: I went to two years at Midland (Texas) Jr. College and then got a scholarship for the University of Texas at Arlington. KW: What was your major? Do you plan to finish? LB: Mechanical engineering. I’ll see if I can finish the final year and a half. (I figure) if baseball doesn’t work out, I can always fall back on it but I can’t go during the off-season because (baseball) schedules don’t work out to start classes (on time) and there’s no way to make up what’s missed. KW: Do you have a family yet? LB: Yes, I have a fiancée. We are getting married this year on New Year’s Eve. KW: You were drafted by the Dodgers in 2010. Where were you on draft day? LB: In my apartment alone watching a draft tracker on the computer. I got a call from the Dodgers then lots of calls and texts from family and friends.

I didn’t know if they would draft me. They had called the day before with a number when I might be drafted, but I had no clue. It was a very big blessing.

KW: Did you play that first year? LB: Yes. My first team was in rookie-level Ogden, Utah. My family came out to see me play there. KW: Then in 2011, you played with two Single-A teams, Great Lakes and Rancho Cucamonga, California and led all the Dodger minor league pitchers with 27 saves. The next year, you started out with Rancho Cucamonga before being promoted to Double-A Chattanooga, and then in July 30, you were traded to Seattle, appeared in 12 games for Double-A Jackson and wound up the season with 26 saves. Did you know you were going to be traded? LB: I had no idea. I was in Huntsville, Alabama in the hotel when the call came from team’s GM that I had been traded. It was a crazy week getting to Chattanooga and then to Jackson. KW: Since Chattanooga and Jackson were in the same league, you must have played against some of your teammates. Did that make moving any easier? LB: I knew some of the hitters. Carson wasn’t on the team then, but my new teammates opened their arms and taught me about the organization. er?

KW: Have you always been a reliev-

LB: In junior college, I played first and third, then was a starter and hit in college. Once I got drafted, I was asked what role I would prefer. I enjoy the bullpen; it’s more my mentality so that was my choice. And the coaches wanted to limit my innings since I’d already had 90-100 that year in college. KW: Mostly a long reliever, a closer, or what? LB: You never know what’s going to happen when you go into a year, and somehow I just settled into the closing role. My job is to go out there and put up a zero and help my team. The coaches pretty much decide. It’s never my decision. KW: You’ve had two different pitching coaches since coming to Tacoma. What have you learned from them about yourself and your style? LB: The best pitching coach is yourself, but the guys here have been phenomenal. When I first got traded, Lance Painter was one of my pitching coaches. I was trying to do way too much and he helped me, along with a couple of other coaches. It’s nice to have those guys in your life. They help you see things that you can’t see. KW: If you had your choice which of these many pitching roles would you like to settle into? LB: I love closing, when you go out there and perform every night and help your team win. I like when the team puts

the pressure on you, if it’s long relief or closing, I treat them all the same. I’m just happy to be pitching.

KW: What style of pitcher are you? LB: I’m aggressive, just go after guys. As a pitcher, you have to have good location. KW: What’s your outpitch? LB: My slider. If I get a good chance, I throw the fastball and then put them away with my slider. KW: You pitched in the Venezuelan League last winter. What was that like? LB: I went down there for the first time. There were quite a few guys from the Rainiers on my team and the other teams. KW: How do you like this area? LB: I love it. I’d never really been up here before. Utah was about as far as I’d been. The summers are unbelievable. I’m glad I’m up here. KW: Have you had a chance to do any sightseeing around here yet? LB: My parents usually come from Texas once during the season to see me play. When they were here last year, we did some sightseeing—Lake Union, Lake Washington, Point Defiance, and during the All Star break, I went to the San Juan Islands. Seattle’s very cool; it’s got a sweet little vibe. KW: Are you an outdoors guy? LB: I’m not a big fisher or hunter, and being from Texas that seems kind of weird. I like to go see outdoors places, go with the guys to play golf, that sort of stuff. KW: Any other hobbies or interests? LB: I like to read, enjoy fashion, clothes, my family and friends. KW: So far what have been the highlights of your career? LB: Just (playing professional baseball) is pretty awesome. Five or six years ago, I never would have thought I’d be in Triple-A, let alone playing professional baseball. I always dreamed of it, but being a little, chunky kid you never know. I feel very blessed to be able to play professional baseball for a living. KW: What do you do in the offseason to stay in shape? LB: There’s a little place near the apartment where I go and train. I do it all by myself, I don’t have a trainer. I go there, and run and lift and I do a lot of yoga. It’s good for flexibility and also keeping the mind calm. KW: You mentioned that you could use the mechanical engineering from college to fall back on if baseball didn‘t work out. Have you thought about anything else you’d like to do after baseball? LB: I have. If they ever wanted me to, I could coach, or I could fall back X See RAINIERS / page A10

SOUNDERS U-23 SHOWS GRIT WITH NEW FACES COMEBACK FALLS SHORT By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

A fantastic home crowd greeted a host of new Sounders U-23 players on Sunday, May 25, and witnessed an unexpectedly physical match against the visiting Puget Sound Gunners at Sumner’s Sunset Chevrolet Stadium. The home side put on a late charge and nearly found the equalizer goal, but ultimately, it fell 3-2 in the season opener. It was clear from the starting whistle that the Gunners were going to assert themselves and try to set the tone for the match. That tone would be Sounders U-23 players hitting the turf through a combination of physical play by the Gunners, involving pushing, shoving, grabbing and hard tackles. Another strategy that really paid off for the visitors was their defensive scheme. Anytime the Sounders U-23 would cross midfield with the ball, the defensive back line and midfielders of the Gunners would crash the defensive end. At times, it seemed as if there were three defenders for every Sounders U-23 attacker. It was stifling. It showed in the final numbers as well. The Gunners seemed content to make decisive runs or bursts on offense; otherwise it was the Sounders U-23 that held the ball for most of the match. Puget Sound turned just seven shots on goal into three scores, while the Sounders U-23 had 20 shots at the net but could muster just two goals. Gunners goalkeeper Spencer Richey had several remarkable stops racking up nine saves for the match. The Gunners opened up the scoring just over five minutes into the match. Midfielder Steven Wright gathered in a pass from Kevin Cook with his back to the goal. The tall, lanky Washington Husky nudged the ball to his left and spun around rifling a shot into the back right of the net. Two minutes later, Sounders U-23 newcomer Michael Bajza took a short ball off a corner kick and pounded it into the box arching toward the upper right of the goal. Gunners’ goalkeeper Richey leapt into the air and snatched the equalizer goal away from the Sounders U-23. Five minutes later, former Stadium Tiger Jamael Cox sent a looping shot at the goal only to have it find the crossbar and bounce back into play. For much of the remainder of the first half, it was evident that the Sounders U-23 squad was still getting to know each other. With the addition of several players the last two weeks, the club is attempting to get through a “getting to know you” phase as fast as they can. Several players found themselves out of place on passes and the familiarity wasn’t quite there yet. The Gunners brand of physical play was also not helping matters. The grabbing, pushing and hard fouls increased as the game’s midpoint neared. Despite this, the Gunners would have to settle for their lone goal as the teams entered halftime.

;0;(5: -050:/ (4(A05. :,(:65 TWO WINS SHORT OF TITLE GAME By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

It was an exciting baseball season and an exceptional ride for the Titans of Tacoma Community College this year. Falling just two wins shy of the NWAACC championship game, the team experienced nearly every high and low possible in a 47-game season. The Edmonds Tritons were the team to finally stop the Titans run when the clock struck 12 on the season on May 25, as soonto-be NWAACC champion Edmonds pushed in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, winning the game 3-2 and moving onto the title game against Bellevue. It was not the ending the mercurial team had envisioned. But it was fitting for a rollercoaster season that saw the Titans reach both a degree of national prominence and a degree of desperation as they saw their West Region title snatched from them at the end of the season during a short, but ill-timed slump. The team found itself playing in a do-or-die tilt against Lower Columbia after the regular season just to get a seed into the playoffs. It will always be a season that could have or should have been, but the rare air that TCC took in during the 2014 campaign will be hard to match ever again. The team jumped out of the gate with five wins to start the season and was then tripped-up for a loss on the road against Walla Walla. It was March 9, and the team stood at 5-1 with a long season ahead of them. No one could have expected what would happen next. On April 27, the Titans had just wrapped-up a fourgame weekend sweep of Centralia and TCC had run their record to a phenomenal 32-1. The team had rattled-off 27 wins in a row, was ranked number one in

the NWAACC Coaches Poll and had pulled-off a rarity for NWAACC teams on the national stage; TCC had risen to number 18 in the national JUCO baseball poll. Between March 9 and April 27, the Titans never lost a ballgame. In retrospect, the team obviously peaked too soon and with the addition of some untimely injuries at the end of the season, they were fighting for their lives at the end instead of pounding teams into submission as they had for most of the season. Pierce College and TCC have always had a spirited cross-town rivalry in every sport. The Raiders had been playing excellent baseball all season long and the four-game series against the Titans to end the regular season was seen as a big deal even early in the year. No matter how many wins TCC put into the books, they were still going to have to play four league games against Pierce, and they met the Raiders just a week after splitting four games with Lower Columbia. For most teams, going 2-2 isn’t going to wreck the season. It was an uppercut to TCC though. The Titans needed to win two

rematch and perhaps a bit of redemption. The Titan bats were cold as ice against Pierce on Saturday May 24. Freshman first baseman Brett Neilsen had TCC’s sole hit of the game; an RBI single. Pierce pitchers struck-out 12 Titan batters. The only problem for the Raiders was the eight walks and two hit batters these same pitchers served-up. Throw in a couple of throwing errors and TCC won the game 4-2, sending their rivals home and moving a step closer to the championship game. Of course, TCC would face Edmonds the next day and were turned-away 3-2 in 10-innings by the hottest team at the NWAACC tournament. Edmonds won five of six games and took the crown from Bellevue on Monday May 26 by the score of 6-5. Edmonds would finish the season matching TCC for the best overall record in the 32-team NWAACC at 39-8. Titans head coach Ryan Mummert is building a powerhouse at TCC and has been sending a steady stream of players onto NCAA Division I programs now for three years. This was expected to be somewhat of a rebuilding season and it ended up one for the record books. Expect the Titans to rise again next season. Stay tuned.

of four from Pierce at season’s end and the Raiders were peaking. Pierce took the first two games, while the Titans slipped by them in the third. The Raiders put across an avalanche of late runs in the fourth game to win 11-3 and took the West Region crown. More importantly, they scored the number one seed into the NWAACC Championship Tournament and TCC would have to endure a playoff to get a ticket to the party. The team bounced-back the following weekend taking two-straight from Lower Columbia and the team was on their way to the eightteam NWAACC finals in Longview, Washington as the number two seed. Treasure Valley Community College out of Ontario, Oregon was the champion of the East Region and the Titans first opponent. Lucky for TCC it was a double-elimination tournament as the Chukars topped the Titans 4-2 and sent them into the loser-out bracket. Facing the local Clark Penguins, the Titans bats came alive for a 8-5 win and they would live to see another day and a chance for a little revenge lay in front of them. While Pierce had made short work of Lane College in the opening round 5-0, the Raiders ran into eventual champion Edmonds the following day and were beat 6-3. It was time for a

“My Wilson teammates and I have many great memories from the late Eighties and my current Puyallup squad hope to take home many more after this weekend with us all the way to Pasco,� Weise said. The field, named after former longtime Tacoma resident and Major League scout Bob Maguinez, has a grounds crew that is second to none. “We take great pride in the upkeep of this facility, it’s a year-round job that is done with a lot of pride and perfection,� said Roger Hildebrand who is one of the longstanding groundskeepers at Heidelberg. Two more names that may be added to the to the long list of successful players at Heidelberg are Puyallup’s Lane Griffin and Luke Heimlich who are two pitchers with bright futures ahead. “It is a great facility both on the mound and in the outfield,� said Heimlich, a junior who gave an oral commitment to Oregon State. “We hope that this field will be our springboard to the state 4A

title in Pasco this weekend.� Puyallup went on to shut-out both EdmondsWoodway and Gonzaga Prep in front of huge crowds on Saturday, May 24, to claim the trip to Eastern Washington. Heimlich, who has a 10-0 record to go along with a 0.40 ERA for the state’s number one team and a squad that is ranked number three nationally with a record of 26-0, had some great parting words to say.

The post-season accolades continue to roll in for Pacific Lutheran junior AJ Konopaski. This week he became the first baseball player in PLU school history to be selected as a first-team All-American for NCAA Division III. Konopaski was the sole reliever on the All-American team as he led the nation with 13 saves during the Lutes’ successful 25-14 season. The big right-hander set a school record for saves in a season to go along with an impressive 1.10 ERA, as well as a 2-0 record. Konopaski’s ERA was the second-lowest in school history behind his recordsetting mark of 0.97 which he set last season. In addition, Konopaski was named to the firstteam West Region team along with junior starter Trevor Lubking. The pair were also first-team AllNorthwest Conference selections. Lubking was the anchor of the best pitching staff in PLU history as he went 6-2 with a 2.12 ERA and led the nation and broke the school strikeout record with 111 K’s. The PLU pitching staff finished the season with a 2.75 ERA which broke a 46-year PLU record set by the 1968 team with a 3.09 ERA.

It’s long and storied tradition has seen many great high school baseball players with or without Tacoma baseball roots go onto bigger and better things at the collegiate and professional levels. Ron Cey, Jon Lester, Willie Bloomquist and Travis Jackson are among just a handful of players who have gone onto the big league level after playing on the surface, which was built in the early 1960s. With its most recent refurbishment in the last couple of years, it will no doubt see many talented Tacoma area players call Bob Maguinez Field at Heidelberg Park their home for a brief period of time in the near future. “The City of Tacoma Park Board has done a great job,� said John Portnier, tournament director for both the 3A Regional championship and the 4A State Region 3 championship , referring to the repairing of the field with its recent passage of bond levies to upgrade its playing surface. Both the 3A Regional championship and 4A state championship were played in backto-back weeks in mid-tolate May at the facility. There may be three more names to add to the mix after this weekend’s play. Puyallup head coach Marc Weise, and starting pitchers Lane Griffin and Luke Heimlich could add to the long list of coaches and players that have made Heidelberg Park a successful home for at least a weekend. Weise, the former Wilson star and New York Mets draftee has many memories of the facility at the corner of 19th and Tyler Street.

“It was a great weekend here in Tacoma and the fact that the facility was in such great shape after Thursday’s rains says a lot about the people who take care of Heidelberg Field and I will cherish the memories for a long time,� Heimlich said. With great people, players and facility managers, Bob Maguinez Field at Heidelberg Park has had a long and storied life to this point. May it live on for many years to come.

The Crusaders of Tacoma Baptist are in the hunt for another state track and field team title. Despite changes in the number of athletes to qualify from the 2B Sea-King District and move on to the 2B State track and field meet at EasternWashington University on Friday and Saturday May 30 and 31, TBS qualified in enough events to possibly make some noise in the team standings. The girls team won the Sea-King District title with 163 points, outpacing the La Conner girls who finished with 121. The boys team finished second with 132 points to La Conner’s 147, but will be sending competitors in eight events to state. The girls will be represented in six events. Due to changes in to-state allotments this season, only the top-two boys and the top-three girls in each event garnered spots for the state meet. On the boys side, Abram Jackson won the 100 meters in 11.85 and took second in the 200 meters at 24.08. Austin Lutterloh has been at the top of state 2B times in the hurdles this season and looks to be the favorite this weekend. Lutterloh won the 110 meter hurdles in 15.81 and the 300 meter hurdles in 39.60. TBS also looks strong in both relay events with times of times of 44.88 and 3:35.08 in the 4x100 and 4x400 respectively. The girls are led by sprinter McKenna Neufeld who won both the 100 and 200 and anchored the winning 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams. Ashley Brooks also won the 100 and 300 meter hurdles.

W Sounders From page A7

At the 50-minute mark, the Gunners sent a long throw-in deep into the Sounders U-23 box; and, after skipping off a couple of players, Brady Ballew onetimed the ball from the far side of the goal for the goal of the match. The forward snapped the ball from three feet in the air with a side kick, and Sounders U-23 goalkeeper Jordan Jennings had no chance at stopping the frozenrope shot. The Gunners now led 2-0. Referee Chuck Spaniola and his crew had their hands full in the second half. The teams were getting chippy, and it was growing obvious that the two clubs didn’t care for each other to a great degree. Spaniola dished-out three yellow cards in the second half and could have easily doubled the number had he called the game closer. As it seems to happen so often

in games, one team just misses a shot and the other team seems to immediately answer with a goal. In the 58th minute, Bajza sent a beautiful corner kick toward the backside of the goal and teammate Steve Mohn was able to get his head on the ball, which sailed just over the crossbar. One minute later, Mohn and goalkeeper Jennings would suffer a brief miscommunication allowing Gunners forward Ashkanov Appolon to nudge the ball over Jennings and slip past both to knock in an uncontested and decisive third goal. The Sounders U-23 would finally get on the scoreboard in the 67th minute more of the club’s newcomers got into the act. Saving what looked to be a ball going past the goal line, Esteban Potencio-Reyes nudged a header back in front of the goal only to find a streaking Mohammed Dumbuya who headed the ball himself just over Richey’s diving arms. “I’m good at judging the ball when it’s coming down. So I needed to get just high enough to

get a touch on it,� said Esteban. “Just a little touch, played back to Muhammed and he put it into the goal.� One minute later, Dumbuya nearly had his second goal as the ball exited a group of players in front of the box and found the Gambian striker alone with the goalkeeper. Dumbuya fired and Richey stretched-out for an amazing save. As extra-time started, Esteban quickly gathered a loose ball in front of the goal and slapped a left-footer toward the far post. The ball seemed to lose steam as it sailed and it was clear that he hadn’t quite got a full foot on it. “It was left-footed,� he said. “So I was just trying to place it instead of giving it power. I should have put a little more power into it and not hit it so quick.� A half-minute later, teammate Luis Estevez took a pass from Dumbuya as he flashed straight into the box and put the second Sounders U-23 goal into the back right of the net. As extra-time was nearly

W Rainiers

expired, Bajza sent a final corner kick toward the box, but the ball sailed high and referee Spaniola whistled the end of the match. The team seemed upbeat after the match and some players were also beat-up wearing ice-packs on various injuries. Dumbuya saw a silver lining in the defeat. “I feel like it’s just a groove thing,� Dumbuya said. “We got lots of guys in so we could get used to each other. Honestly, I thought we played great. Sometimes games like this happen and you just lose. Next time we need to play as a team better, focus and score more goals. “I hope the fans come back out next game. We’ll show them better. We’ll score more goals and the whole game will be better. I’m excited about the next game.� The Gunners moved to 1-0-1 on the season as the Sounders U-23 fell to 0-2-0 in Premier Development League play. The Sounders U-23 host the Vancouver Whitecaps U-23 Friday, May 30, at Curtis High School at 7 p.m.

on something with my dad in the oil industry. There are plenty of options out there for me, but I want to run with baseball as long as I can. It’s gotten me pretty far so far. I’ve learned a lot about life from baseball. You definitely learn some social skills and there are so many walks of life that come into the locker room every year. The cast of characters changes constantly.

KW: Anything else you’d like the folks to know about you? LB: I’m a strong believer in Christ. That’s how I like to live my day. It makes the ups and downs of baseball a lot easier, and it gives you a platform to share that too. We have chapel at the park on Sundays since we can’t go to church. It’s a good set-up for sure.

Local Restaurants PICASSO CATERING: WHERE FOOD IS ART By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

W

ith graduation season upon us, instead of taking a grad to a crowded, noisy restaurant, consider Picasso Catering, located at 3822 S. Union Ave, a team that views food as art, from the simple to the sublime. As one of the few catering businesses in the area that has its own venue, event organizers don’t have to sweat the small stuff. “The catering end of the thing is the least of their worries,� owner Don Brenner said. Picasso’s venue fits up to 200 people and includes both a sound system and a video projector. The crew also provides rentals for plates, linens glassware and anything else a party might need, including bartending services. “Basically, we do what the customer is looking for. We customize all of our catering to their needs taking into consideration their budgets,� Brenner said. Picasso’s was formerly known as “Three Chicks Catering,� but switched owners in 2013, which constituted a name change. Though they may be new to the catering game in name, the company’s employees have over 100 years of catering experience when combined together. This experience also allows Picasso to cater to their customers in terms of choice, a full gamut of breakfast, lunch and dinner options including American, Italian, Mexican, Barbeque, Asian and Greek food are all available. “The variety of food is always increasing at a higher level, offering new items and being creative to offer people food they don’t get in any other place,� Brenner said. Picasso Catering is looking to expand even further with the introduction of Picasso Catering North located

W Cancer From page A1

learned to cook and whether she gave up on vacuuming. I want to listen to the words the guy in the waiting room uses to describe how the fatigue affects not just his body, but his state of mind. I want to see an acquaintance’s new hair and hear how it compares to the stuff that fell out months ago. This disease makes us selfish, and listening to how others are navigating it helps us gather the information we need to put our situation into perspective. So, yes, I was being selfish when I drew up a list of questions and asked people with cancer – any kind of cancer – and their friends and caregivers to discuss them. And, yes, I was being a good citizen at the same time. I think that the more we talk about problems, the closer we get to understanding, and possibly solving them. Perhaps, the more we understand about living with cancer, the more comfortable we will be with the people who are doing it. Julie Hall and Carla Van Ess were among the first to jump into this conversation. They were open about their cancer, frank about their fears and finances and clear about the kind of support that works for them. Hall, who is 45, lives in Tacoma with her two sons. She’s a foster parent and volunteers with the troubled kids at Remann Hall, so she’s experienced at dealing with big challenges. “I have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Stage 4,� she wrote. “Right now, I am not treating it because I have no insurance. I recently left the corporate world and rejoined the service industry, working at The Boathouse 19.� The diagnosis shocked and terrified her, but not because she was afraid for herself. “When you hear the diagnosis of cancer, you immediately think of dying or death,�

she wrote. “I thought about my boys and who would raise them if I died. I begged God to let me live long enough to raise them up.� She considered the battle ahead, the toll it would take on her family. Well into that fight now, she has come up with a brilliant analogy for living with the disease. “It’s like being handcuffed to a vicious dog. A dog that you know can bite and kill you, yet you have to drag it along everywhere you go,� she wrote. She hates that damn dog, but she’s learning how to fight the rage, on her own. “I was, and still can be, angry. I often tell myself ‘why not me’ in lieu of ‘why me’ as opposed to someone else like a child,� she wrote. The mental toll of fearing the unknown, the possibility she will cave under the cancer is the worst, Hall wrote. The best moments come in circumstances she never imagined. Hall is overjoyed by the phone calls that don’t come: the doctor not getting back to her immediately after a CT scan. With cancer, the calls that come right away are the ones bearing bad news. News of a clear scan isn’t an emergency. Money is. “The cost of treatment can break you down. It really sucks,� she wrote. “Bill collectors calling, asking for large sums of money which most don’t have adds more stress.� In cancer world, a single shot can cost $1,000. Fighting means refinancing the house to pay medical bills, Hall said. It means garnished wages. “The system... drug companies, need to not be greedy and give all the same chance,� she wrote. Hall assessed her strengths and weaknesses. “Strength is in knowing others have it worse,� she wrote. “It’s in the long days in the

DaVinci Salon and Spa

infusion room fighting for my life and looking to my right or left, encouraging others that they can overcome. My weakness is my mind control, not allowing it to get the best of me.� This, she said, is her fight, and it’s hard enough without having to reassure the people dearest to her. “Chemo is hard, harder on friends and family,� Hall wrote. “Be strong for us so we don’t have to comfort you in our time. Just come sit with me. If you want to support me, treat me as if I wasn’t sick. Treat me like a regular person. The one I was prior to the diagnosis.� Like Hall, Carla Van Ess, 46, lives in Tacoma. She’s not working, but she loves reading, her dog and cats and visiting with her friends. “I found out I had cancer when I couldn’t get over a bout of bronchitis and cried a lot,� Van Ess wrote. “I was diagnosed in November with limited small cell lung cancer. I was so scared. I was devastated. I didn’t think I would see my two very young grandchildren again. I was told that at best I would live two years if I went through chemo and radiation, and if I didn’t do anything I had at best nine months. I didn’t know anything about my cancer, but got online and did a lot of reading.� All that reading helped her make decisions on her treatment and anticipate what was coming at her, including nausea, fatigue and hair loss. She read about the costs, and the counseling some hospitals offer to try to manage them, but she did not have to face them. “I have state medical, so the costs were not an issue,� Van Ess wrote. She made her treatment decisions based on her Internet research and discussions with her doctors. “I refused radiation therapy but did have chemo. I had treatments three days in a row followed by 18 days of nothing,� Van Ess

BE WELL

inside & out

wrote. “On chemo days, it was all I could do to make the long (20 feet or so) walk to the restroom. When I got there, I often needed to rest before going back to bed. The worst part was the nausea. I had to try three different meds until I got Kytril. It’s specifically for chemo.� Van Ess, like so many cancer patients, is specific when she discusses treatment, and she’s not shy about sharing some of the indignities life-saving drugs force on bodies not accustomed to being frail. She is also pleased to report that she lost some, but not all, of her hair. Like so many other patients, she has high praise for the people who pumped killer drugs into her. “The staff at the Gig Harbor office of MultiCare, they were the best,� she wrote. And they were the best to the last detail. “Paratransit helped with getting me to my appointments, but when my ORCA card stopped working, I had a little trouble with getting a ride. The staff helped by giving gas cards to help.� She relied on her family and friends, especially her best friend, a non-smoker who has survived breast and lung cancer. When she cried, they hugged her. When her attitude slipped, they told her how precious she is to them. They found cards with perfect messages for her, and they brought her small, goofy gifts. They had the good sense to zip it instead of saying the wrong thing. “It really doesn’t help when people say ‘I’m sorry.’ I’m sorry, too, but there is nothing sorry can help,� Van Ess wrote. “I have to say I have a whole new respect for people with cancer. It hurts and it’s scary, but with your family, friends and mostly God, no matter what happens, you will not be alone through this nightmare.� Three months into that nightmare, Van Ess got wonderful news: Her cancer is in remission.

orthodontics. He then completed a post-doctoral residence in orthodontics at the University of Louisville. Gessel married Emily, also from Tacoma, in 2011. They welcomed a son, Miles, into their family in 2014. The key to orthodontics is to first know if you need it. A simple way to help determine that is to bite down with your lips open to see if the top and the bottom teeth match up or are they too far back or too far forward. Do the top teeth protrude out away from the bottom teeth? Do the top front teeth cover more than 50 percent of the bottom teeth? Are the top teeth behind the bottom teeth? All these are indicators for potential orthodontic treatment. Look at your jaw alignment. Does the jaw shift off center during biting down? If you see any misalignment or shifting of the jaw, it suggests a skeletal or jaw bone problem, which requires early orthodontic intervention. These are only some of the obvious symptoms of orthodontic problems, but some signs are more subtle and require a professional examination, which should happen sooner rather than later. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children be evaluated by age seven. All baby teeth need not be gone before initiating orthodontic treatment. In fact, early detection of some orthodontic problems is important in order to avoid more difficult treatment later. Early orthodontic treatment also potentially prevents extraction of teeth which is needed in some cases if the teeth get very crowded. But it is also never too late to fix misaligned teeth. So long as the gums and bone which support teeth are healthy, any patient can get orthodontic

PHOTOS COURTESY OF MATIKA WILBUR

Mary Evelyn Belgarde (tribal affiliation: Pueblo of Isleta and Ohkay Owingeh), 2014. Inkjet print. Dr. Belgarde was instrumental is developing school curriculum more appropriate for Native American schools. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

A

hundred years ago, the Seattle photographer and self-styled anthropologist Edward Curtis was in the midst of his project of shooting photographic portraits of Native Americans. At the time, American Indian tribes had been placed on reservations. Then commenced government policies – such as use of boarding schools – designed to strip Native Americans of their culture and language. The Curtis project was thus meant to document a vanishing people and their cultures before they were gone. Enter Matika Wilbur, Native American photographer (Swinomish/Tulalip). Like Curtis, Wilbur has embarked upon the epic project of traveling the length and breadth of the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) to use her camera to make portraits of people representing every federally recognized tribe. She calls the endeavor “Project 562” because there were 562 officially recognizes tribes when she started out in 2012. (That number has since risen to 566.) Curtis was an outsider looking in, posing his subjects in such a way as to romanticize a dying people. The West was won and the “noble savage” was extinct. Wilbur, by contrast, is an insider revealing something vital to those inside and outside Native America. “We’re still here,” is the message. Wilbur calls ahead, approaches her subjects respectfully and asks them where they would like to be photographed and what they want to wear. The people in Wilbur’s pictures are allowed to present themselves as they wish to be presented. They are old and young. Some wear their everyday attire; some choose to be depicted in traditional dress. Where Curtis was documenting a “vanishing people,” Wilbur is shining a light on a resilient people who are still here, adapting to contemporary life and finding ways to maintain identity as native people and preserving valuable facets of Native cultures. A year into her project, Wilbur has managed to reach members of 200 of

the tribes. Tacoma Art Museum recently unveiled an exhibition that features some of the fruits of the project thus far. “Photographic Proof of Contemporary Indians: Matika Wilbur’s Project 562” is a heartfelt display of 50 of Wilbur’s photo portraits. Wilbur passionately asserts that she wishes to celebrate cultural resilience, showcase native heroes, inspire the younger generation and change the way that we view Native Americans. “Images matter,” said Wilbur in advance of the May 17 opening of the exhibit. “As long as we are represented as a leathered and feathered and vanishing race, our children will keep having the same experience as previous generations.” Wilbur’s project is more than photographic portraits. She also conducted interviews, collecting narratives on what it means to be Native American and views on how people are coping with pressing issues such as maintenance of tribal sovereignty, whether and to what degree one should assimilate to the larger culture, how does the western concept of blood quantum influence a sense of tribal identity. Wilbur has taken pictures of Native attorneys, professors, artists, ranchers, and activists, dancers, designers and people from all walks of life. Trained in the photographic arts at the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, Calif., Wilbur is a wizard with both digital and traditional photographic techniques. Her images are compelling. Some of the prints are hand tinted giving a soft, soothing effect. Some are crisp and sharp. There are surroundings of stunning landscapes as well as urban spaces. Wilbur has thrown herself wholeheartedly into her project. She gave up a comfortable living and apartment in Seattle to take to the road. On a tight budget, Wilbur must rely on the kindness of those whom she meets on her journeys. She often sleeps on couches and helps out with the cooking and the cleaning. A large portion of the work is done, but Wilbur still has to reach people from over 350 more tribes. When it is all done, Wilbur plans to present everything in a kind of travelling longhouse that will make appearances in metropolises all over the world. Wilbur intends that the whole

FOLKLIFE. Roaming fiddlers and the stamenphone (right) were part of festivities last weekend at Seattle Center.

NORTHWEST DIVERSITY CELEBRATED AT NW FOLKLIFE FEST By Glen Casebeer Special to Tacoma Weekly

N

estled at the base of the Space Needle, flanked by Queen Anne Hill to the north and the Downtown corridor to the south, Seattle Center is a sprawling, colorful and vibrant visual statement to the region’s cultural diversity. The Northwest Folklife Festival took over the Seattle Center grounds and beyond for its massive, annual, four-daylong celebration, enlisting the help of hundreds of volunteers and thousands of performers from all over the world. In addition to the world-class talented acoustic musicians, you can also find people playing five-gallon Home Depot buckets, flipped upside down to resemble drums and homemade musical contraptions held together by bungee cords and zip ties, while others are playing instruments made famous from long ago, such as washboards, banjos and bagpipes; really any type of musical device that doesn’t need electricity. From tap-dancers to belly-dancers, countless others came to Folklife to make music with their bodies just as much as

the musicians are doing so with their instruments. And where else are you going to find a Stamenphone player jamming away and pretending that everyone knows what that instrument is called? (It’s a 16-stringed, stainless steel sound sculpture that you play with a bow, in case you were wondering.) Just getting close to Seattle Center during Folklife, you’ll see any number of people walking through the streets with instruments in tow, no doubt heading in to sample the love and the positive vibe that emanates from the largely acoustic festival each year. Once inside the grounds, you’d be subject to any number of impromptu jam sessions, whether the musicians were practicing under a tree for their scheduled stage performance or just for the heck of it. With performers aged 8 to 80, there is no age restriction regarding what you’ll experience at Folklife. The aroma from food vendors, such as Fife staple Warthog BBQ and Tacoma’s Southern Kitchen, could be inhaled from several hundred feet away, no doubt luring in the hungry attendees with the irresistible bouquet, while the rest of the food vendors were out in full force with dishes from just about all corners of the globe.

We caught several great acts while there. Singer-songwriter Bradford Loomis is a fantastic story-teller and has a delightful singing voice that does not match his physique. He towers over people and with his long shaggy beard you’d expect him to sound a bit rough. Do not let the cover of this book fool you, he is a gentle giant and is as talented and polished as they come with the subject matter of his songs delving into the somewhat delicate territory of the human condition. Balladeers Alice Howe and Zoe Wick used their incredibly powerful voices to entertain and mesmerize with heartfelt songs to those attending the standing room only Folklife Cafe series inside of McCaw Hall. Pop singer Lucy Horton with her band-mate Gabriella Vizzutti put on a fantastic panel about pop music songwriting and Portlandian Tim Connor educated an audience in the Armory loft about blues music, mainly from 1925 to 1940. Walking out of the loft, you were welcomed by hundreds of couples on the main floor kicking up their heels in any number of dance segments, from Irish folk to square dancing. The Vera Project stage had shows

going constantly all weekend, including the aforementioned Loomis and Wick, Sweet Kiss Momma, Star Anna and the red-hot, alt-country outfit Vaudeville Etiquette, among others. The iconic Mural Amphitheater stage had almost non-stop entertainment as did the Fountain Lawn Stage, while Sky Church inside Paul Allen’s funky looking building that we’ve all gotten used to, Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum, hosted some of the bigger shows. Folklife also added a feature this year called Paperstock providing the festival goers an opportunity to check out some of the best poster work in the area, meet the artists behind the screens and even watch them make some of them. On display in the Fountain Pavilion was a collection of some of the incredible northwest poster art representing many styles from retro to new-wave, covering subjects from movies to dive-bars and festivals, they had it all. The grounds around Seattle Center were packed but no seemed to mind and the 43rd annual NW Folklife Festival delivered on its guarantee for great time with fantastic entertainment, food, family activities and much, much more.

Upcoming exhibits: Ink This! Contemporary Print Arts in the Northwest June 7—November 9, 2014 PHOTOS BY ERNEST JASMIN

Live Nation’s Gorge Amphitheater kicked off summer concert season in grand fashion over Memorial Day Weekend with its 13th annual Sasquatch! Music Festival. For the uninitiated, that amounts to about hundred of the hottest bands on the planet spread out over five stages, lots of hipsters dancing costumes (“bacon girl” may have been my favorite) and three days of hedonistic bacchanalia before and after in the nearby campgrounds. I’m back, a little bruised and sore but mostly recovered. Some of what I saw and my festival notes are available online at www.tacomaweekly.com. Ernest A. Jasmin, Tacoma Weekly

During the last few decades the print arts in the Northwest have flourished from the founding of a number of influential fine art presses and organizations to university and other educational opportunities and the thriving regional communities of letterpress and book artists that have come together.

NORTHWEST PINBALL AND ARCADE SHOW RETURNS TO TACOMA

I

t’s time to get your trigger fingers ready for the eighth annual Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show on June 6-8 at the Tacoma Convention Center, a celebration of arcade games that features hundreds of machines and attendees that share a passion for them. Every year, up to 5,000 fans fill the center to check out halls filled not just with vendors, but snack bars, a kid zone and more than 15 seminars detailing the ins and outs of the arcade and pinball industry. This is the show’s second year in Tacoma after moving from the Seattle area, and the move has offered some unique advantages. “Changing venues is always kind of a scary thing to do, but it’s been much nicer than where we’ve been in the past. Being able to load and unload the games, plus parking and amenities is much easier than in Seattle,�

Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show Board President Brian Cady said. Another advantage to moving to the new city is a collaboration with the LeMay Car Museum, which will be loaning a couple classic cars like a Delorean to go with a “Back to the Future� machine and a Mustang to accompany a machine dedicated to the Ford classics. The show features the work of between 2,500 and 3,000 collectors every June, and pinball and arcade cabinets from all eras. As the show has continued to evolve, the creativity of the vendors has expanded right along with it. The hot items this year are unique concoctions like soap in the shape of video game cartridges. Though pinball conventions take place all across the country, the Northwest Pinball and Arcade show is in a unique state as a non-profit show. “It’s an incredibly diverse group of volunteers, I think that’s why we have a lot of external people telling us we have the best show. Because were non-profit, we

get a far broader grouping of skills at the show than if we would if we had to pay for all these things,� Cady said. Every year, the Northwest pinball and Arcade nonprofit board sends out a fleet of trucks to pick-up hundreds of cabinets to present at the show, and Cady thinks this yearly tradition helps keep the show fresh with new equipment. Cady’s big draw for the show is a panel demonstrating how a pinball machine is built from design to final construction. Two designers of the brand new “Star Trek� cabinet will be there to present design art as well as going over the step-by-step creation of the game. The event itself is organized by the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show non-profit group, who not only set up the event, but even provide scholarships for college students in fields that may benefit the pinball community The Northwest Pinball and Arcade show is sponsored by Stern Pinball, the Courtyard Marriot, Dorky’s, 8-bit arcade, The Stranger and more.

VICCI. Martinez is back in town to work on three new projects this summer. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

T

hree years removed from her run on NBCTV’s “The Voice” and done with her one-album deal with Universal Republic Records, Tacoma singersongwriter Vicci Martinez finds herself at a creative crossroads. “One of the things that I realize is I’m about to be 30,” Martinez said on Monday, “and if I want to give this a go I’ve gotta do it now. I’m always going to do the Vicci Martinez thing that I’ve been doing since I was 16, going out and playing fun shows and getting the energy going. But I’ve always wanted to do an album (that is) a real work of art.” Martinez has lived in Los Angeles since she became a critical darling on “The Voice” in 2011. More recently, she spent some time in Sweden, where her fiancé lives. But she is back for the summer to play a series of shows – including a sold-out live CD recording on Saturday, May 31, at Jazzbones - and to collaborate with a new, as-yet-unnamed band that includes Aaron Stevens and Paul Hirschl of Tacoma indie-folk outfit Goldfinch and local hip-hop producer DJ Phinisey. In February, Goldfinch cellist Emily Peterson described the project as growing out of her band’s contributions to the Rockwell Powers & DJ Phinisey album, “Build,” which came out in October. Martinez clarified that the band has recorded several

demos, including a pair of songs she sang on last time she was in town. That project has allowed her to experiment in ways she felt she couldn’t with her own music, for fear of alienating fans. “This is something that I’m really excited about,” she said. “The way I’m singing on it is so different than what I do normally. It’s just a lighter, different take on my voice.” When asked to elaborate on her new band’s aesthetic, she said it is not too far removed from some of the pop-oriented material from her major label debut, “Vicci.” “There’s still definitely the (hip-hop) beats, but it’s not too beat heavy. It’s a little bit more technical than what I do with my band, but not anything different from some of the things that are on the last album, with having those layered sounds.” The group has not decided whether to shop its new songs to a label or put them out on their own, she said; but, either way, she expected the band to make its official debut on Sept. 27 at Tacoma’s Rialto Theater, a performance that has been scheduled with Passenger String Quartet. But long-time fans shouldn’t worry about her neglecting her own solo material. Martinez is also plotting a new, acoustic album that she expects to release this summer. “I have about three songs recorded,” she said. “I’m thinking five, six more, and hopefully that will be ready by the beginning of July.” Martinez is free to pursue all three projects fol-

lowing her departure from Universal Republic, which released her after sales of “Vicci” were flat. She characterized it as a blessing in disguise and recalled frustrations with how the label handled the promotion of “Come On,” her duet with “The Voice” mentor CeeLo Green. “The single was supposed to be released around Jay Leno, the date that I performed on (“The Tonight Show”), and it could have been ready,” she said. “It wasn’t their priority. I realize when you’re with a company like that with so many artists, you’ve gotta do a lot to be the priority there. … That’s understandable, and that’s why we took it upon ourselves to be out on the road working that single, ‘cause it wasn’t really getting worked from the label.” In the end, she was happy to get out of her deal relatively unscathed. “The most horrible thing that could happen is that they keep you and they don’t do anything with you, and you’re just on a shelf,” she said. “So it’s kind of nice they just let us walk away.” CHEF (115 MIN, R) Fri 5/30: 3:10, 6:00, 8:30 Sat 5/31-Sun 6/1: 12:30, 3:10, 6:00, 8:30 Mon 6/2-Thu 6/5: 3:10, 6:00, 8:30

Pet of the Week

Todays featured pup is a very special girl who can’t wait to be an important part of your life. Camilla is a gorgeous 2 year old, black and white Pitbull. She came to the shelter back in February as her owners were moving to a home where Pitbulls were not allowed. Camilla had been subject to an outdoor only living situation where she was restricted to a chain, staked in the ground. Despite her not so glamorous past living situation, Camilla is an extremely affectionate, happy and loving girl. She is eager to please and has a lot of energy– she will be a great running partner. It is recommended that Camilla go to a home with older children and adults. Camilla does not do well with cats, but may love having another doggie friend. Don’t wait, stop by and meet this beautiful girl today. Reference #A484479
