DONATIONS AS BIG AS A BABY DINOSAUR. Tacoma Weekly readers filled scores of backpacks for foster children, and made some Pierce County Sheriff’s Department detectives happy: (from left) Brian Lund, Kevin Johnson, Lynelle Anderson, Gary Sanders and Teresa Berg.

DINO DRIVE DONORS SHOW WHAT’S RIGHT WITH TACOMA By Kathleen Merryman

S

omeone has to tell you how good you are out there in Readerland. Someone has to tell you fine people that you are bigger than the bad news, even news as bad as a jerk in Roy allegedly putting a baby in a freezer to stop her crying. You are the antidote to that awful story, proof that the good news we do not hear about is more powerful than the bad stories we wish we could forget. Your gifts have not merely helped children coming out of horrible homes; they have expanded the ways those kids get emergency supplies. In February, after your chronic generosity made an annual sock drive more successful than any before it, we at Tacoma Weekly looked for another project. We wanted something that allows every gift to have a big impact. We wanted something that would catch people at a low point and remind them that even people who do not know them care about their welfare. Enter the pea-green brontosaurus. It was just over a year after Josh Powell murdered his boys, Charlie and Braden, on a visit while they were living with their mom’s parents. The detectives handling the case had

“We have to stand behind these children. They can’t do it on their own. It’s impossible.” – Detective Lynelle Anderson found a drawing Charlie had done of a dinosaur. In that image, just a sweet piece of refrigerator art, they saw a way to help children going through awful family turmoil. Kids taken away from neglectful or abusive homes often leave with nothing to tide them over their interim placement. They are away from their families, in a strange home with not one thing of their own. That, the detectives decided, was the gap they could fill. Working with Crime Stoppers and fellow Pierce County Sheriff’s Department deputies and detectives, they founded and got non-profit status for Charlie’s Dinosaur. The aim is basic: Give every child going into foster care a suitcase, duffle bag or backpack filled with the basics: pants, shirts, coats, toiletries, hoodies, jammies, undies. By the way, that is how these special crimes unit detectives talk: Hoodies. Jammies. Undies. They use only new items. The first day of foster care is no time to tell a traumatized child that she is worth hand-medowns. The detectives got

space for storage and sorting and packed the bags for boys, girls, small, medium, large and sizes in between. They delivered them as children needed them. Their supplies fit comfortably in five rooms. Then we at Tacoma Weekly launched our Charlie’s Dinosaur Drive, and you got to work. Stores, shippers and distributors made good business decisions and sent their seasonal overstock to Charlie’s Dinosaur. That explains the holly jolly holiday jammies in every size. It explains the bulk school supplies and big stacks of young adult fiction books. Those big gifts built a fine foundation. Law enforcement substations set out collection boxes, and cops, deputies and citizens filled them with coats, sweatshirts, jeans – all the individual items on the list. Tacoma Weekly accountant Laura Winkelman crocheted a pink and brown camo-pattern blanket. Young adults sorted through unused makeup, clothing and gifts. Church youth groups, small businesses and non-profits picked a boy or girl of a certain age and filled rolling duffles for that imagined child. At Associated Ministries, they collected the money to send Amy Allison, mother of girls, out to fill a duffel for a boy. She had no idea what boys like, so she bought by size. The detectives do it the same way, according to Detective Teresa Berg. “We put in a size eight shirt and size eight pants, but kids don’t necessarily come that way,” she said. That is one of the problems you have X See DINO DRIVE / page A5

The Sound Transit board has added its stamp on plans that would run Link light rail from the Theater District to Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The task now is to find a way to pay for it, particularly “local partners” willing to pay $50 million to make the funding package ready for federal grant consideration. “We need to have the local partner financing lined up and the next phase of environmental work complete before submitting the Small Starts grant,” Sound Transit spokesman Bruce Gray said. The Small Starts guidelines require that projects cost less than $250 million, with grants not exceeding $75 million.

in Tacoma taxicabs, such as Aloha cabs (pictured here), video cameras will be installed. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Smile, you’re on cabby camera. Well, at least you will be soon. Tacoma City Council is set to hold a first reading on June 4 regarding changes to the rules governing taxicabs that operate within city limits. The main change is the requirement for video cameras to be installed in taxis that show the driver and passengers when the car-for-hire is in operation. Rules about putting car cameras in taxis were first introduced in 2006 and were set to go into effect last summer but were sidelined because of questions about cost and access to the

The two-month exhibit will culminate with the “In the Spirit: Northwest Native Arts Market & Festival� on Saturday, Aug. 17. “Through these incredible artists we are able to celebrate and teach about the diversity of Washington state heritage,� said Jennifer Kilmer, director of the Washington State Historical Society. “The sheer variety of mediums on display is a testament to the unique heritage of Northwest Native art and the beautiful contrast between traditional and modern cultures.� There will be nearly 30 pieces in this year’s exhibit, including paintings, prints, basketry, sculpture, woven clothing, beadwork, cast glass, and mixed media pieces. This year welcomes an impressive eight past “In the Spirit� award winners and six first-time exhibitors. Each artist, representing 20 tribal groups, presents a different perspective and aesthetic. During the opening night reception on June 8, museum members are invited to view the full exhibit and discuss the works with the artists and curators. The three-person judging panel, comprised of Native American art experts and artists, will present this year’s winners in four categories at the opening reception: “Best of Show,� “Celebrating the Northwest,� “Celebrating Tradition� and “Celebrating Innovation.� A “People’s Choice� award is voted on by visitors throughout the exhibit and awarded during the August festival. “The interest and enthusiasm for this exhibit continues to grow year after year, and it shows how important these artists and cultures are to Washington history,� said Tina Kuckkahn-Miller, director, Longhouse Education and Cultural Center at The Evergreen State College. “Each piece

this year is rich with stories that tell of the various challenges, values and triumphs of Northwest Native communities.�

Local Restaurants A palette of flavors await at La Crème Brulee

By Kathleen Merryman kathleen@tacomaweekly.com

La Crème Brulee is just the place a homesick Frenchman might open just to have a reliable, authentic taste of, say, Dijon. There is no glitz about it, just the comfort of well-used tables and chairs, walls lined with photos, posters and the accoutrements of a business that seems to have been there forever. It is a neighborhood bistro, a place to meet friends and enjoy classic French favorites. It is, as chef Bertrand Young calls it, “the original French dining experience.â€? Walking up to it, it is a pleasure to surrender to the aromas from the kitchen at 1606 Lafayette St. in Steilacoom. When we stopped by for a chat on a Thursday

afternoon, Young’s sous chef, Josh Fuller, was elevating humble potatoes to divine gratin status with cream, butter, chicken stock, nutmeg and tarragon. As its name suggests, La Crème Brulee is not the place to mind one’s diet. The appetizer menu – Les Petits Plats – features classics: PatĂŠ de Campagne for $8, Calamari Vol Au Vent, Escargot du Bourgignon, Assiette de Saumon Fume and Assiette de Fromage for $9. Classic scallops – Saint Jacques Meuniere aus Amandes, are $12, and the Fondue Savoyarde of Swiss and French cheeses serves two for $18. The brevity and range of the main menu is a triumph of the discipline of French cookery. Ranging from $14 to $28, dishes include Poulet Sauce Moutarde, Les Pates aux Fruits de Mer, Bouillabaisse Marseillaise, Beouf

1950

OoLlDdSsMmOoBbIiLlEe

FfUuTtUuRrAaMmIiCc By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Many people have asked why America is called a “car culture.” The 1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic is a car that answers that question. Just looking at it creates images of family vacations on the open road long before the Griswolds ever took their epic “vacation” in their station wagon. For 1950, the Oldsmobile 98 line was restyled from previous models, while its sibling 88 remained unchanged, largely because it already had several model options including a two-door convertible, hardtop, sedan, coupe and fastbacks, as well as a fourdoor sedan and station wagon. The station wagon version would become an icon of the age. Oldsmobile station wagons had been all metal since 1949, when all tailgate and wooden window trim was replaced by wood-grained metal. The main difference between it and the Pontiac and Chevrolet models was that it offered better interior trim, plus the availability of General Motors’ fully automatic transmission and the power of a legendary Rocket 88’s V8 engine. Produced in Wentzville, Miss., and both Flint and Lake Orion, Mich., the Oldsmobile 88 line was a representation of an image. Especially during the beginning, the Oldsmobile 88 was one

of the better performing automobiles of its class. Named to complement the already existing 76 and 98 series, the 88 was meant to bridge performance with amenities. It would later be considered to be the “granddaddy of muscle cars” of the 1960s because of its high-powered engine compared to its rivals. The standard station wagon in 1950 sold for $2,360 and weighed 3,610 pounds, while the 88 model was priced at $2,585 and weighed 3,810 pounds. The difference in cost and weight translated to 25 percent more horsepower, to 135 horses, which a feature buyer found worthy of the added cost. Popular during its time, the 88 inspired a popular song “Rocket 88” and a slogan, “Make a Date with

a Rocket 88.” The rocket was eventually adopted as the Oldsmobile logo during the 1960s, though the 88 name continued to remain in the lineup until the late 1990s. But the fate of the 88 was short lived. Of the nearly 408,000 Oldsmobile cars sold in 1950, only 2,732 were station wagons. Chevrolet sold nearly 167,000 station wagons starting at $1,994 during the same year, so Oldsmobile dropped both station wagon models. It would not produce another station wagon for another six years. But like many collectable cars, the Futuramic 88 would rise from its disappointing “new” sales and find life in the classic car market. A Futuramic 88 often sells for upward of $30,000, 10 times its original sticker price.

74th and Ainsworth Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.” And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of road riddled with holiness, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Catholic Community Services is inviting the community to the groundbreaking ceremony for The New Nativity House at 11 a.m. June 5 at 1323 S. Yakima Ave. The $16 million project will bring three programs that serve homeless people into one spot, and add 50 units of permanent housing. Nativity House, Hospitality Kitchen and Tacoma Avenue Shelter will all relocate from their current locations on Tacoma’s Hilltop and Hillside. The aim is to give people who have been homeless for a long time better opportunities to become safe and stable. To achieve that, The New Nativity House will offer mental health treatment, AA meetings, alcohol and drug abuse treatment, skills training, education and employment services, financial literacy classes, medical care, veterans services, legal services and benefit screening assistance.

ucky’s Complete Auto Repair at 4802 Pacific Ave. has it all: Expert mechanics, state-of-the-art tools and diagnostic systems, financing, tattooed staff, foxgloves, petunias, day lilies and dianthus. Jason Mortensen and his colleagues have planted a flower agarden under the big Bucky’s sign. Set into a cinderblock frame, spring bulbs and perennials are bowing out and splashy annuals are recovering from the rain, ready to bulk up the color. The auto mechanics are considering what to add next, and how to expand the display. “It looks great for the area,� Mortensen said. “We are actually going to put in more.� There’s a whiskey barrel planter by the wall facing 48th Street, and Mortensen thinks that would be a good place to expand. Plants, he said, are good for the neighborhood. “They just pick up everything. They clean the air,� he said. “People go by and see the area clean and pretty, and they’re surprised.�

From late May onward the planters reveal the businesses and residents that invest in roadside beauty. Some plant and water annuals. Some allow the planters to become expensive ashtrays. Bucky’s is an investor. It has a plus-size planter in which employees have planted colorful, fragrant and tough lavender.

Director Michael Mirra. He had one warning: When the Seattle Housing Authority ran applications this way, it worked well, with an exception. “Some dishonest people set up phony websites that sounded similar to the Seattle Housing Authority. The phony websites invited people to apply by paying money,� he said. “When that happened, the people wasted money to apply and then found out that their ‘application’ did not count.� After that, THA went proactive and bought up as many domain names as they could that might be confused with the agency’s. There are changes, too in the old Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program.

The building will include a dining hall and day and night shelter with 169 beds, up from the current 145. It will have storage lockers, a therapeutic art room, laundry facility and expanded meal services. Community partners will donate haircuts and foot and dental care. The 50 small apartments will give a permanent home, with social services, to men and women, including veterans, who are chronically homeless. They are designed on the Housing First model, which has been proven to save taxpayers millions of dollars by stabilizing people who would otherwise be burdening emergency services, hospitals, courts, jails and prisons. Government grants and private tax credit investments will cover $11 million of the cost. Catholic Community Services is launching a $5 million campaign to cover construction and services. A reception following the ceremony will offer refreshments, a chance to ask questions about the project and meet some of the people it will serve.

It has a new name: Housing Opportunity Program, or HOP. It will help low-income households pay the rent on private-sector homes or apartments. Under HOP, that sum will remain the same, and will not change with the participants’ income. THA will offer employment and job search services to all participants who are able to work. It also will set a five-year limit on assistance for people who can work. That limit will not apply to seniors or to people who cannot work because of a disability. “We think this new program, will help us better serve three important goals,� Mirra said. “Encourage people who can work to increase their earned income; allow us to serve more people; save on the administrative costs of running the program.�

About six years ago Hanna started seeing an unusual number of clients who had had a stroke. “I was getting suspicious,� he said, “so I looked up statistics from the Pierce County and Washington State Department of Health and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) in Atlanta. I found

He pointed out that if America’s big population of baby boomers is left unchecked to have strokes and heart attacks, it could be like a runaway train that will go out of control around June 2014. “Pierce County being the worst, it could double,â€? he said of the current numbers. “Once those baby boomers start, it’s going to be too late for us to do anything.

the county health department to measure if chair massages actually impact the number of strokes in Pierce County. “I think we can bring it down if we have enough therapists available to the public,� he said. “We can’t afford to fail.� “My aim is to saturate Pierce County with enough LMPs to make a difference. Once the therapists learn to recognize the early symptoms of an oncoming stroke (hypertension, headaches, migraines, neck pain, prior stroke and other stress related distress), they can apply basic massage techniques to relieve the condition. Even a new LMP can get rid of 80-90 percent of the stress a person may have in as little as 20 minutes.� Hanna said this would act as a model to be used across the country to help baby boomers avoid having a stroke or heart attack, and thus save America’s health care system from becoming dangerously burdened. “Thousands of lives can be saved. My patients in Pierce County taught me how to treat hypertension. The ones who have had a stroke or more, when they feel like they are going to have another stroke they come in and get a chair massage. After as little as 20 minutes most of the stress is gone.� Executive Massage is located at the Sears concourse in the Tacoma Mall (see ad accompanying this article).

Specifically, engineers will define an actual route rather than a route “corridor� that could involve shifts and tweaks. “Over the next few months, we will be identifying potential alignment options (routes) to be included in the environmental process,� Gray said. As it sits now, the “North Downtown Central� corridor, also known as E1, will be a 2.3-mile run from the Theater District Station near the corner of Commerce and Ninth Street up to Stadium Way to Sixth Avenue before turning left onto Martin Luther King Jr. Way and continuing past Group Health, Mary Bridge and Tacoma General to 19th Street, at a station near St. Joseph Medical Center. The route was selected from a roster that had been whittled down from 24 options that were pondered during the last two years. “We are pleased to be moving the project forward to the project level environmental review phase, though there is more work to be done in finding a financial partner or partners,� said Sound Transit Board Chair and Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy. “Still, the selection of E1 as the preferred corridor is an important

Cab owners wanted changes to the video specifications to allow for other vendors to provide the cameras and also wanted access to the videos as a way to alert drivers of problem passengers and customer disputes. The previous rules allowed the videos to be accessible to only law enforcement agencies investigating crimes. “The digital security camera system shall be capable of retaining images for at least five calendar days; shall provide a clear view of the driver and passenger that is unobstructed; and shall have status indicator light so the driver knows whether the camera is functioning properly and when images are being taken,� the draft code change states. “Access to images shall be limited to the taxicab owner who owns the taxicab trade name and color scheme. Images shall also be provided to law enforcement personnel for the investigation and prosecution of crimes. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to remove a law enforcement agency’s obligation to comply with all applicable laws in obtaining access to digital security camera images, including the requirement to obtain a search warrant if needed.� Signs on the taxi’s doors will alert passengers that they are being photographed by the security system to improve driver safety and are not retained other than for criminal investigations. The code changes require each cab to be equipped with silent alarms that alert dispatchers if a driver needs assistance.

step in bringing us closer to offering Link light rail to more Tacoma residents, commuters and businesses.� The board selected the corridor from four options that had risen as “finalists� and received more detailed study during an evaluation process that included community involvement from a citizens’ stakeholder group and numerous public meetings. The E1 route received a boost when Tacoma City Council endorsed it last month, although the stakeholder group endorsed another route. That route would have run north from the Tacoma Dome Station to Portland Avenue and up from the Theater District Station to Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Sixth Avenue. “The City of Tacoma is pleased with the work accomplished to date in selecting a preferred corridor for the potential expansion of Tacoma Link,� said Sound Transit Boardmember and Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “Thanks to the active involvement of the City Council, a citizens’ stakeholder group and city residents in an intensive, 10-month public process, we now have a clearer path for making light rail more accessible to more people as ridership on the line continues to grow.� The 2.3-mile route will be further defined and evaluated as part of the project-level environmental

The changes largely mirror what Seattle and other cities around the nation have enforced for years in an effort to control crime. The rules affect the roughly 80 cabs that are licensed to operate within the city.

Tacoma Link currently operates on a 1.6-mile route between the Tacoma Dome and Theater District stations. Perhaps by coincidence or sparked by the routing debate, two large projects have recently been announced for sites along the routes that were being considered. Tacoma Housing Authority, for example, announced development plans at the mixed-use, housing community of Salishan along Tacoma’s stretch of Portland Avenue, which would have been served by the Link line. THA sold 143 lots in the development for $5 million to D.R. Horton. The nation’s largest homebuilder is set to being construction of threeand-four-bedroom, single-family homes as early as this summer that will largely sell for market rates. A few dozen of the homes will be sold for less-than-market prices to lowerincome families. Along the Martin Luther King Jr. Way route, another private developer is working on a deal to renovate the historic Pochert and Kellogg-Sicker buildings for apartments, while THA has plans for two parcels nearby. All of the land is city-owned property.

the “standard� taxi passenger is someone without a car who needs to get to a doctor’s appointment. “They really are the original Zipcar,� he said during a study session on the issue. “They are the service on demand. They really are needed by those most vulnerable in our community.�

SOUNDERS U-23 DRAWS WITH KITSAP Late goals erase strong start

REPEAT TITLES A COMMON THEME AT STAR TRACK Chambers, Derby, Bouyer highlight local successes By Jeremy Helling jeremy@tacomaweekly.com

ven for the most seasoned and accomplished veterans, the state track meet provides a stern challenge. For local athletes looking to defend previous titles, Star Track at Mount Tahoma on May 23-25 proved to be another good test. Winding down a career filled with accolades, Foss senior Marcus Chambers was after the state record in the 400-meter dash on May 25, and it seemed as if nearly everyone in the stadium knew it. With the support of the crowd growing as he neared the finish line, Chambers – who will run at the University of Oregon next year – fell just 0.13 seconds short of the 16-year -old record but still set a season best of 46.36 in winning by over two seconds. “Everybody was pulling for me, hoping I could get the record,” said Chambers, noting that he was satisfied in again claiming the top time in the nation this year. “I’m back on top, which is what I wanted. There’s nothing I could complain about. I ran great. I had all my friends and family supporting me. Nothing could go better.” Chambers set another season best later, winning the 200-meter dash in 21.30 seconds, getting a stern challenge the whole way from Bellevue’s Myles Jack. Bellarmine Prep junior Hannah Derby also got a tough challenge in the 4A girls 400-meter dash, which she had won at state the previous two years. But in one of the closest finishes of the day, Derby edged Todd Beamer’s Chante Spotser by three hundredths of a second, winning in 55.84 seconds. “Obviously I had fantastic competition, and I didn’t think I had it,” Derby said. “I was glad I pulled it out at the end…the competition has gotten so much better this year.” Derby also took fourth in the 800meter run and teamed with Daryl Phill, Cathryn Casey and Larisa Robic to take fourth in the 4X400-meter relay to help the Lions’ girls take 12th overall. The weekend was even busier for Curtis senior Kennadi Bouyer, who was part of a competitive field in both the 4A girls 100- and 200-meter dashes. But Bouyer successfully defended her titles in both events, capping the meet by winning the 200 in 24.84 seconds. X See TRACK / page A9

The Sounders U-23s are quickly realizing the adversity they need to overcome in order to repeat as league champions. After taking a 3-0 lead in the first half against Kitsap, the U-23s gave up three second-half goals – including two in the final five minutes – to settle for a 3-3 draw against the Pumas in their PDL home opener on May 24 at Curtis High School. “I think we just came out flat in the second half,” said U-23 midfielder Aodhan Quinn, who scored two goals. “They got an early goal, so that kind of put us on our heels…we’ve got to work on that, we’ve got to finish the game off.” Quinn put the U-23s up 1-0 in the 19th minute when a deflected shot fell to his foot on the right side of the box, and he curled a shot over Kitsap keeper Dustyn Brim and into the far post. “I saw the keeper was (on the) near post a little bit,” Quinn said. “So I just tried to bend it (to the) back post, it went over and went in.” It was nearly déjà vu in the 26th minute, as Quinn took a short pass off a corner kick on the right side and again drove a shot over Brim into the far post to make it 2-0. “Aodhan is a special player,” said U-23s head coach Darren Sawatzky. “He will be a pro someday. The reality is, though, that if you have to lean on special players pulling stuff out all the time, and not the group doing it, then you’re not going to do as well.” But Kitsap quickly turned the tables five minutes after halftime, as Shane Malcome got a header on a cross and sent it over charging keeper Zac Lubin to cut it to 3-1. Despite facing a relentless attack by the Pumas the rest of the way, the U-23s were able to maintain that lead for the next 35 minutes. But the Pumas got a lucky bounce in the 86th minute when a shot was deflected to the foot of Sebastiaan Jansen, who drove a low shot past Lubin. Just when it looked like the U-23s would escape with a narrow victory, they committed a foul in the box in the 89th minute, and the Pumas’ Neil Shaffer converted the penalty kick to equalize. “In the second half, our boys, some of them didn’t come to fight,” Sawatzky said, but also noted that the draw showed some progress. “I’m happy with the point. We’ve got to fight our way up the table and we’ve had some adversity. The boys have been on the road for two weeks. Now it’s time to take the point and build on it.” The U-23s will next host the Washington Crossfire at the Starfire Sports Complex Stadium in Tukwila on May 31 at 8 p.m.

HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP LIONS GET FIRST EVER STATE SOFTBALL WIN A year after getting to the state softball tournament for the first time, the Bellarmine Prep softball team notched its first state win, but did not place at the 4A tournament on May 24-25 at the Merkel Sports Complex in Spokane. The Lions fell 3-1 to Moses Lake in their opener on May 24, as Courtney Schwan pitched all seven innings and gave up just two earned runs on three hits, with 10 strikeouts. But Schwan and freshman Alyssa McKiernan each homered twice as the Lions won 12-8 over Skyview in their second game on May 24. Schwan’s grand slam in the second inning tied the game 6-6, and Alexa Ostrander and McKiernan added bases-loaded walks to retake the lead. McKiernan helped put the game away with a two-run homer in the sixth inning to make it 12-7. McKiernan added her third homer of the tournament – a three-run blast to left in the seventh inning – in the Lions’ next game against Newport, but Bellarmine fell 7-3 to be eliminated.

BELLARMINE GIRLS GOLFERS GET FOURTH STRAIGH TITLE Led by Olivia Benzin and Alivia Brown, the Bellarmine Prep girls golf team captured its fourth straight team title at the 4A state golf tournament on May 21-22 at Club Green Meadows Golf Course in Vancouver, Wash. Benzin tied for the tournament low two-round score of 151, shooting a 73 on the second day to lead the Lions. But she was topped by Lewis & Clark’s Sierra Kersten on the first hole of a sudden death playoff for the individual title. Brown had held a two-shot lead after the first day by shooting a 73, but settled for third place after shooting an 80 on day two. The Lions’ Lilly Navarre tied for 12th place with a total score of 167, Lindsey Gullickson tied for 13th with a 168, Tessa George placed 25th and Lisa Zelasko tied

Stadium knew it was in for a tough test against Ballard in the second round of the lacrosse playoffs, having tied with the Beavers earlier in the season. For 20 minutes, it looked like it would be the same type of game, but Ballard took control with three goals late in the first half and held on for a 10-5 win on May 22, at Stadium Bowl to end the Tigers’ season. Tied 2-2 with just over three minutes until halftime, Ballard’s Josh Schwartzenberger struck for two goals in under two minutes, and Thomas Christensen added a goal from a wide open look with 1:40 left to give the Beavers a 5-2 lead at the break. “I think once they scored that first

goal, we kind of hung our heads,” said Stadium senior Aaron Park. “We definitely let up. We lost our morale. It just went down the drain from there.” Schwartzenberger had given Ballard a 1-0 lead just over two minutes into the game, but Noah Leonard answered for Stadium with 5:34 left in the first quarter with a goal from 20 yards out. Jacob Marks regained the lead for the Beavers late in the first quarter, and Stadium was unable to equalize despite several good chances early in the second quarter. “They went into a little bit of a zone (defense) there,” said Stadium head coach T.J. Serrianne. “The passes weren’t clicking…(Ballard) definitely played very well, but I think we lost some of it on our own.” Park equalized midway through the

period for Stadium, skipping a shot past Beavers keeper Alex James from 15 yards away. “Not by any means was their defense weak, I don’t want to take anything away from them, but I knew their goalie wasn’t the strongest,” Park said. “If I could get those open looks, even from 15 yards out, I knew I could take them and get some goals in.” But the Beavers responded quickly with their three-goal run at the end of the period. The Tigers looked to get back in the game quickly in the third quarter when Harry Dillman threw in a shot from a tough angle on the right side just 11 seconds after the break. But Kyle Garrity regained control for Ballard by scoring just over a minute later, and John

DeGarmo added his second goal for the Beavers to make it 7-3 with 7:38 left in the third. Brendan Raschke and Park again responded for Stadium with goals to cut it to 7-5 at the end of the third, but Ballard rattled off two early goals in the fourth to put it away. “We didn’t get the bounces we’re used to getting, but we played hard until the very end,” Serrianne said. “I’m very proud of the guys, it just wasn’t our night tonight.” The Tigers finished the season with a 10-2-1 overall record, having beaten Lynden 12-7 in their playoff opener on May 17. “We did what we wanted to do,” Park said. “We established a program here. We got it going for the younger guys, and they’re looking forward to next year. They can’t wait.”

“It was a perfect way to finish it off,� said Bouyer, who also took second in the long jump. “In my head, I was thinking ‘this is my last race of high school, just leave it out there.

meet – was involved in another marquee race on the 4A side, placing fifth in the 100-meter dash in 11.15 seconds. “I know I’ve got to get out and try to stay in front as much as I can and run my race,� said Swillie, who was the only sophomore in the finals. “I got the experience. I’ll try to do better

next year.� The Lions’ boys tallied 13 total points to tie for 18th place, as junior Jared Sinsheimer took seventh in the triple jump and placed third in the high jump by clearing six feet and five inches. Senior Doug Parker placed eighth in the javelin throw with a toss of 166 feet.

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

'.&#-'#. ,#- /'+*. 6 ),-+1'*% $5!'#*!4 + -+/#!/ ()+* Puyallup Tribe operates two of the five hatcheries on the Puyallup River, playing a vital role in salmon restoration and commercial fishing alongside non-tribal facilities. With the Tribe’s acquisition of an innovative fish screw system, the fisheries operations expect to become more efficient and effective in 2013 than ever before. The system moves fish through peak returns without relying on their natural migration habits, according to Russ Ladley, resource protection manager for the Tribe. The system reduces the time and resources required to move fish during peak times, and moves them more efficiently improving hatchery production. “This has greatly lessened man hours needed for fish spawning,� Ladley said. “We have had trouble loading fish during peak returns when they don’t want to move through the fish ladder, but the fish screw would make it not optional to keep moving.� The application of this system is

growing in the Pacific Northwest, but the Puyallup Tribe is staying ahead of the curve by working closely with fabricators to improve the design and maximize the success of the system. The Puyallup Tribe is leading the way through its hard work, resources, and innovation to improve the system with the hopes it can be utilized by Tribal and non-Tribal fish hatcheries to improve hatchery operations and fish production. In addition to the Tribe’s innovative hatchery operations, a $250,000 2012 project to build an acclimation pond on private land in Clearwater to provide for spring Chinook runs is now complete, and should see its first fish next spring. “This project fills a production hole we’ve had since the road washed away in 2009,� Ladley said. The Tribe’s hatchery is key in providing spring Chinook runs for Tribal and non-Tribal fisherman on the Puyallup River.

/'1# )#-'! *. 4 3#. '(('+* '* Indian people pay taxes. They pay most of the same taxes non-Indians pay, and in some cases additional Tribal taxes as well. Indians have a few tax exemptions, just as non-Indians do. The Puyallup Tribe and its members are dramatic examples of these realities. Indian tribes collect taxes that are then sent to the appropriate taxing bodies. The Tribe withholds federal income tax from its employees (who include Puyallup Tribal members, other Indians, and nonIndians), and from the per capita payments it makes to its members. As federal law provides, the Tribe sends that money to the I.R.S., a total of over $42 million in FY 2012. As an employer, the Tribe pays its share of payroll taxes and withholds payroll taxes from its employees, which is then sent to the Social Security Administration and other government agencies. Those taxes added up to over $16 million in FY 2012. Under the terms of agreements with the State of Washington and local governments, the Tribe collects and pays tax funds to those governments, including about $10 million to the State of Washington, and $300 thousand to the City of Fife. Unlike all other governments, non-trust land owned by the Puyallup Tribal government is often subject to state and local property taxes. In 2012, the Puyallup Tribe paid nearly $1 million dollars in property taxes to state and local governments. The total amount in taxes collected, withheld, or paid to the various governments by the Tribe in FY 2012 was over $70 million.

SWEET WATER

Resurgent bringing new sounds to Jazzbones

PHOTO BY BOB PETERSON

By Ernest Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Signed to Elektra during the Great Grunge Feeding Frenzy of two decades ago, Sweet Water was among Seattle’s most promising young bands in the 1990s, before “altâ€? gave way to “indie.â€? But the group had disbanded by decade’s end, and took nearly another decade off before roaring back to life with album No. 4, “Clear the Tarmac,â€? in 2009. Sweet Water now appears poised to make up for lost time. The band will return to Tacoma on June 8, where it will debut songs from its new, five-song EP, “Dance Floor Kills,â€? at Jazzbones. And the band’s charismatic frontman Adam Czeisler checked in to talk about new tunes and the rock scene that was. Tacoma Weekly: I didn’t realize you guys played your first show with another band playing its first show, called Mookie Blaylock (which went on to become Pearl Jam). What do you remember about that first gig? Adam Czeisler: We didn’t know it would be this historic show or anything. We just thought it was a great opportunity since they were a part of Mother Love Bone and all that. Everybody who went out to shows was really excited to see what their next project was. So the show was packed because people were super interested and curious. The show was at the Off Ramp, which is still around. It’s called El Corazon, I think, now. I remember being pretty nervous because we had played as (previous band) SGM. But then we hadn’t done anything for what felt like a really long time; it was probably a year. That was the birth of the band; and, actually, a few other people in town helped us out with big shows. ‌ We played a show opening up for Alice in Chains at the Paramount. I don’t know if it was a Rising Stars show or something, but it was a big, packed show. TW: You guys were all part of that Seattle explosion and all the craziness happened. Is it just weird looking back at that stuff from a distance?

SWEET WATER, V.20. (Left to Right) Cole Peterson, Chris Friel, Adam Cziesler, Rich Credo. The

Seattle band, popular in the '90s before going on hiatus, recorded a new EP, called “Dance Floor Kills.�

Czeisler: I guess I didn’t appreciate quite how unusual and special it was, ‘cause there haven’t been that many other Seattles. Minneapolis kind of had that at one point. I guess you could think of L.A. during the Guns N’ Roses days as sort of a hotbed of rock, too. There have been some pockets, but I don’t think I can point to ‌ a particular local scene that’s erupted in such a global way since then. So, that was really cool to be a part of, for sure. TW: You went on hiatus for a while. What did you guys wind up doing during your time off? And what has been the highlight of Sweet Water, version 2.0? Czeisler: We basically got as big as you could get without actually getting big. (Laughs) It was like a feat of magic. We had No. 1 hits in Seattle on the radio for weeks at a time. But we never translated that into true nationwide (recognition). At one point, we were just a little burnt out, so we kind of took a break and did regular stuff. But our drummer, actually, kept playing in bands, for the most part; and, about seven or eight years later, we were all just getting together ‌ for dinner. We hadn’t seen each other for a while. We were just hanging out, and then (drummer) Paul (Uhlir) said ‌ he had a place where we could easily walk over and show up and jam, and so we did that. And it was so much fun that kind of started the 2.0, if you will. We released (“Clear the Tarmacâ€? in 2009) and played a bunch of shows. And then Paul, basically, had a third kid and was like, “Okay, I’ve got to take a break.â€? So we got another drummer,

SWEET WATER IN CONCERT Q N +VOF Ũ +B[[CPOFT 4JYUI "WF 5BDPNB Ũ Ũ XXX KB[[CPOFT DPN Ũ XXX TXFFUXBUFSSPDLT DPN Chris Friel, who’s also a local Seattle guy. He was in the band Goodness. ‌ We started working on this latest EP and record with Chris, and it was cool. He definitely had a big influence. TW: How do you feel you’ve built on the momentum or sound of “Clear the Tarmacâ€?‌? Czeisler: We did one side project record right before we broke up or whatever – took a hiatus; and we called the band the Parc Boys, which stood for Paul, Adam, Rich (guitarist Credo) and Cole (bassist Peterson). We wrote it all in a hotel room when we were recording and mixing our, quote unquote, real record (“Suicideâ€?) in L.A. We did it with little keyboards and whatever you could find in the hotel room, on an eight-track. We all sang and all kind of traded (instruments.) That record was way more experimental and kind of new wavy, ‘cause that’s what we all grew up listening to when we were younger. And it was cool; we liked it a lot, but it was really hard to play the songs live, actually. But we did that record, and the way this “Dance Floor Killsâ€? thing is almost a combo of building on what we learned from Parc Boys, and then what we learned from all the rock we’ve done for 20 years in Sweet Water, and then kind of pulling something together that’s a little bit more modern. We used drum machines and sampling and things like that in the

music mixed with real drums and real rock guitar. TW: When and where did you record it? Czeisler: That was kind of different, too. We usually record at this place called Litho Studios. It’s in Seattle. It’s a great place. They’ve got all vintage gear, and we usually track there, and that’s where we did for “Clear the Tarmacâ€? as well. Then we would take it to Martin Feveyear’s studio, Jupiter Studios. ‌ We pretty much followed that same pattern, but the big difference this time is there are a bunch of the tracks that were recorded in my home studio. ‌ Nowadays, with technology, you can get Pro Tools set up at your house for a reasonable amount of money; and of course knowing all the different producers over the years pointed me in the right direction for what mic to buy, and I was able to get something that actually sounds really good and do it at home. I mean, I can’t record a whole band, but I can record vocals. So that was amazing. So we could take what we did in the studio, and then I could take it home and work on the vocals. And then we’d take it to Martin and he mixed it. So that was a totally different process. In fact, we’re really excited about this year moving forward because I think we’ll be able to put out so much more music because we can actually do a lot of it ourselves.

TEENS STAGE Play explores life after end of the world CANCER SOCIETY BENEFIT SHOW

APOCALYPTIC MATRIACH. Blue (Kathi Aleman), the

enigmatic keeper of secrets in the post-apocalyptic world of Bluebeard. By John Larson jlarson@tacomaweekly.com

A

ssemblage Theater is gearing up to offer Tacoma audiences a challenging play from a playwright likely unknown to most Americans. The drama group will present the West Coast premiere of “Bluebeard,” by Pericles Snowdon. Director/producer David Domkoski learned of the play while reading a review of a performance that was done in New York City. He was impressed by the tale from the English playwright, known for his scriptwriting for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

He could find little information about Snowdon. He sent an e-mail to a Canadian actress who was in the New York City production. She sent him a version of the script, edited down for time constraints, she had used. Domkoski said the rich language got his attention. “I never expected to hear back,” he said. “After all, it is the Internet.” She contacted Snowdon, who sent Domkoski the full script. The setting is 25 years after an ice storm that caused the end of civilization. Inside an abandoned church are four women who were taken there as young children by an old woman named Blue. Three are

25, the other 30. They have never been outside, never read a book or watched television. “They have no concept of the outside world, except what she has told them,” Domkoski said. The play examines themes of parenthood, political subjugation, gender roles, the environment, betrayal and the apocalypse. “It is a feminist play written by a man,” Domkoski said. It has its funny moments, “but when it gets serious, it gets very serious.” It will be performed in the chapel at Urban Grace Church. It is a small space with 52 seats in two rows. The action will take place between the rows, creating the intimate setting Domkoski desired. Featured in the cast are Kathi Aleman, Nicole Lockett, Heather Christopher, Kaylie Rainer, Annie Katica Green and Cherilyn Williams. Original music is by Stanley William. Production design is by Erin Chanfrau. Two members of the cast were in “Terminus,” the first Assemblage Theatre production, done in 2012. Tacoma Arts Commission provided a grant of $2,500 for the production. Domkoski raised another $2,800 from a Kickstarter campaign. Each performance will be followed by a discussion with Domkoski and the cast. “If theater is worth doing, it is worth talking about,” Domkoski observed. The run begins on May 31. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. June 15; with two pay-what-you-can performances scheduled for June 6 and 13. Tickets are $14 for adults and $7 for students and are available at the door, and in advance online at Brown Paper Tickets. For more information visit www.assemblagetheater.com. Urban Grace Church is located at 902 Market St.

Assemblage Theater’s ‘Bluebeard’ May 31 - June 15 Urban Grace Church Shows are Friday and Saturday, 8 pm (Pay what you can performances June 6 and June 13)

LIMELIGHT. South Sound teens are set to stage “Beauty IS a Beast” to raise money for American Cancer Society. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

A group of South Sound teenagers has formed a nonprofit theater group that will stage its first shows June 1 and 2 as a benefit for the American Cancer Society. Propbox Theatre Group, an all-teen theater troupe that strives to create a safe and fun environment for teens to express themselves through quality theater, as well as receive the benefit of supporting local charities, is prepping for a show in what could be a regular addition to the local theater landscape. The group will stage D. M. Larson’s “Beauty IS a Beast,” a comical twist on the standard “princess story” that involves castles, kings, princes and princesses and all things happily ever after by the time the lights go dark for a curtain call. Beauty might be beautiful on the outside, but she’s ugly on the inside. Comedy follows when her fairy godmother turns her inside out in this spoof of “Taming of the Shrew” from freedrama.net. The cast includes Cailin DeFlitch, Seth Stecker, Olivia McDougall, Miranda Milton, Sophia Guffey, Siobhan Wells, Caitlyn Daniels, Giovanni Baglio, Isabella Baglio, Sierra Hutton, Andrew Redford, Colin Nestegard and Kathryn Dunkelberger. Costumes and props were provided by Tacoma Youth Theatre, Tacoma Little Theatre and Lakewood Playhouse, theaters where many of the teens first took to the stage. “Beauty IS a Beast” will have a two-night run, at 7 p.m. Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1 at the Pythian Temple Hall at 925 Broadway, across the street from the Pantages Theater. All tickets are pay-what-you-can (suggested is $5-$15) and available at the door.

On May 1, the local craft beer brewer – which operates the Harmon Brewery & Eatery, the Harmon Hub and the Harmon Tap Room in Tacoma – signed a lease to take over a space that is owned by Pierce County and located at 1202 26th Ave., in Gig Harbor. The company has since applied for a new liquor license and begun renovating the building, which formerly housed Reflections and is located next to Tacoma Narrows Airport. Coowner Pat Nagle hopes to be open by mid-July. “We’ve really been looking at Gig Harbor for a long time,� he said, “but timing hasn’t been right, the location hasn’t been right. And we just kind of fell in love with the airport. It’s a little bit off the beaten track, but it has a uniqueness that makes it kind of special.� Nagle said the new menu will be patterned after the one at Harmon Hub, with an emphasis on pizza, pasta and fresh sandwiches. Ernest A. Jasmin, Tacoma Weekly

BLUES BATTLE. Cody Rentas Band is just one of 10 competitors that will take the stage and show their finest. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

S

ome of the best in local blues music – solo acts, duos and bands – will be gathering at Jazzbones on June 2 for the South Sound Blues Association’s (SSBA) Eighth Annual Back to Beale Street Blues Preliminary Competition. This showcase is different from any other music event in the South Sound, and the public is invited to come out and enjoy it for a steal of a price: $10 general admission, $8 for SSBA members and active duty military, and children under 12 get in free. The music begins at 4 p.m. Three solo/duo acts and seven bands are lined up to hit the stage and give

it their all at this judged competition in which the competitors will get 25 minutes to show their stuff. A three-judge panel (kept under wraps until the contest) will rate the acts on a set of established criteria: talent, vocals, blues content, originality and showmanship. The winner will be announced that evening, and the top four bands will advance to the finals at the Tacoma Freedom Fair and Air Show on July 4, on the Duke’s Chowder House Blues Stage. Winners in both solo and band categories will then go on to the International Blues Challenge held on Beale Street in Memphis in January. The International Blues Challenge is the largest gathering of blues bands in the world. Bands

and solo/duo acts from more than 10 countries are chosen to represent their states and countries. Last year, more than 125 bands and 75 solo/duo acts competed. Each band performs in front of an international panel of music industry professionals who judge the event. Gary Grape is CEO/ president of SSBA. He said Back to Beale Street has grown in popularity to the extent that it’s standing-room-only at Jazzbones, so those who plan to attend this year’s contest will want to arrive early to get a good seat. “Since we started in 2005, it’s grown each year,� Grape said. “The last couple of years, we peaked out for attendance.�

5-5:20 p.m. Arthur Migliazza A recent transplant from Tuscon recognized throughout the country as a leading boogie-woogie keyboardist. He’s been inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame and was a finalist in the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

BANDS 5:35-6 p.m. Delta 88’s A five-piece blues band featuring the powerhouse voice of Tery Bishop. 6:15-6:40 p.m. Randy Oxford Band Featuring a new configuration of band-mates, some new and some veterans. This band was a past finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. 6:55-7:20 p.m. Blues County Sheriff

8:15-8:40 p.m. Cody Rentas Band A young soul among the blues scene in the Pacific Northwest. Rentas has made it to the finals in Back to Beale Street a few times, but hasn’t won it all yet. 8:55-9:20 p.m. Palmer Junction With three different singers, dual lead guitars and one of the best rhythm sections around, Palmer Junction plays a “new style� of blues with more of a cutting edge. This popular young band made the finals at Freedom Fair last year. 9:35-10 p.m. The RoadDogz A very popular and solid blues band that’s been around for a long time. Their Facebook page says it best: “The RoadDogz are a fun, festive, full service live band extravaganza. Combining the best of danceable classics, rockin’ blues and smoky soul, The RoadDogz stand out on the Seattle blues scene. These dogs may look a little grizzled, but on stage they play like pups: fun to watch with an irresistible rompin’ sound.�

t isn’t often that you get to see 12 smokin’ hot bands for a suggested donation of $10 and do something good for others in need. That’s exactly what’s on tap for June 2 at Louie G’s in Fife for the sixth annual FISH Food Benefit Concert, presented by Maurice The Fish Records, 3-7 p.m. A fundraiser for FISH Food Banks of Pierce County, this all-ages, family-friendly showcase offers music from many genres on two stages – rock, pop and blues, instrumental, acoustic, Americana and country, soul and hip hop – making FISH Food a night out that will suit practically anyone’s taste in music. There will also be a silent auction with some valuable items on the auction block, a raffle and games. Raymond Hayden is CEO of Maurice the Fish Records. “Every year is different and every year we try to learn from the year prior,” he said of the concert. “This year we wanted to take it to the next level with even more music to give people a real bang for their buck. Last year, we had more bands than normal, and people really enjoyed that, so with the economy still recovering and a lot of people out there watching their pennies, I wanted to put together a concert covering as many genres as we can.” Appearing on the main stage will be bands and solo performers: Audentia, Champagne Sunday, Nolan Garrett, Rikk Beatty Band, Tin Man, Kim Archer and FRANCES HA (86 MIN, R)

GIVIN’ BACK. Late September Dogs (pictured

Rafael Tranquilino, Mr. Von, and Late September Dogs. The acoustic stage will feature: Heidi Vladyka, Dave Hannon, James Coates and a very special featured guest Lynn Sorenson of Spike & the Impalers and formerly of Bad Company. “To wrap the whole thing up and put a nice bow on it, we have (Sorenson) who will perform his own set and with Nolan Garrett and Tin Man,” Hayden said. “He’s a great dude. When I asked him to do it, he didn’t even hesitate.” Add to this the impact of what FISH Food Banks can do with the money raised: for every $1 donated, FISH can distribute $7 worth of food. FISH Food serves individuals and families at seven food bank locations as well as a mobile food bank that visits five locations each week. In 2012, FISH Food Banks served more than 556,000 individuals, or more than 140,000 families. During the past five years, the FISH Food concerts have raised just a shade under $20,000. Approximately $7,000 was raised last year, and this year the goal is $10,000. “We are so grateful to Maurice The Fish Records for their support and friendship over the last six years,” said Emily Happy, director

of development and communication for FISH Food Banks of Pierce County. “FISH Food Banks are about people – families, volunteers, community and powerful stories. Raymond, Maurice the Fish Records, and other community-minded businesses truly help transform lives. It is a privilege to have their enthusiastic and caring assistance, which makes it possible for us to carry out our mission of serving people in need with compassion, dignity and respect, despite the need being greater than ever before. Every dollar, hour or kind act makes a real difference to a family in need.” “It’s important to give back,” Hayden said. “The community comes out and supports us as artists, they buy merchandise and tickets… I decided six years ago that we needed to give something back in a way that’s essential and a basic element of survival.” The silent auction offers one-of-a-kind items that will appeal greatly to musicians and music lovers alike – local recording studio time, private concerts, guest spots on radio shows, $500 earbuds donated by Shure, CDs and T-shirts from local bands, a consultation with Grammy-nominated engineer Ben Chang, a Heart autographed box set, original autographed merchandise from Bad Company, gift certificates for Rehearsal Works in Auburn, and much more. There’s other stuff too, like numerous gift certificates to local clubs including The Harmon and Hard Rock Café, Rainiers tickets, Seahawks merchandise and more.

‘9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL’

“Working 9 to 5…what a way to make a THEATER –

living!” Pushed to the boiling point by their boss, three female co-workers (Tacoma Musical Playhouse’s Sheri Tipton, Cherity Harchis and Brynne Geiszler) concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss (John B. Cooper). They conspire to take control of their company and learn there is nothing they cannot do – even in a man’s world. A hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era, “9 to 5: The Musical” is an outrageous, thoughtprovoking, and perhaps even a little romantic, musical about teaming up and taking care of business. Based on the 1980 20th Century Fox motion picture, the jubilant score by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick will take you back to the late 1970s and early 1980s with all of the colorful characters and familiar songs of the hit film. “9 to 5” runs through June 9. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m., with extra Saturday matinee performances at 2 p.m. on June 1 and 8.

Sophie Sophie is the most incredible cat! She is a gentle, intelligent, super sweet, and laid back. She is a beauty, although born with a cleft lip, which requires she be fed primarily soft food. Sophie is the absolute perfect companion, a master of purring who enjoys rubs and attention. She truly needs a loving Forever Family to bring her home. Sophie is in a foster home with her five babies so please contact the shelter for more information.

We are having a May cat adoption special where all spayed/neutered cats are only $86! www.MetroAnimalServices.org
