ike and Brian McMenamin, the development duo set to renovate the former Elks Lodge in downtown Tacoma and then has sights on Old City Hall across the street, had hoped months of clean up and detailed construction inspections of the 100-year-old Elks site would have brought the projected costs for restoration down. It didn’t. The price tag grew after the $800,000 abatement and assessment.

“We had hoped that would have brought the cost down, but it didn’t,” Brian McMenamin said. “We should have known that.” What was once projected to cost $25 million is now expected to cost $32 million. “We are a happy lot and that can bring us down,” Mike McMenamin said. “But we don’t let it.” The decades of being largely vacant except for the parade of homeless squatters and vandals as well as a generation of leaks have taken their toll on the building the Benevolent

But “the bones” of the poured concrete building are strong enough that renovation of the Renaissance Revival Beaux-Arts styled landmark is set to move from clean up to repair later this summer. The added work of replacing water-logged support beams and installing all new wiring and electrical systems are just more

HECK, KILMER CUT RIBBON ON NEW STORM WATER TREATMENT PLANT By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

For years residents of Tacoma have fought to establish the city as a green-friendly environment. Moving away from the identifier of the “Tacoma aroma” is a priority for Tacomans, and part of this includes cleaning up the city’s primary natural wonder, the Puget Sound. One of the steps to do this is the establishment of a state of the art storm water treatment facility at Point Defiance Park. On Tuesday, May 31, Congressmen Denny Heck and Derek Kilmer visited the facility to cut the ribbon and announce recently introduced legislation that would help protect the sound from dangerous toxic runoff. “It’s a key part of our region, the water, the salmon, our shellfish. It’s important to us economically and it’s important to us culturally. This is a touchstone of who we are as people, but we also know it’s a body of water that’s very sick. And one of the reasons for that is storm water runoff,” Kilmer said. The facility sits to the right of the entrance of the park, and is just one step in a continuous effort to nurture the health of the Sound. The facility funnels storm water from about a two-mile radius, filters it,

Amanda Feller has been teaching at Pacific Lutheran University for the past 16 years, but given the title of her curriculum – “Conflict and Peacebuilding” – even some of her peers have no idea what she teaches. “It does sound like something that would prepare you for a job in the State Department,” said Jimmy Ilbrink, who graduated last week. “Personally, I’m not pursuing a job in peace building. For me, it’s about dealing with people. Peace building gave me tools to approach different situations.”

The facility features several large pools where the water collects so the public can view the process as it’s happening. “I wish there were a silver bullet. I wish there were a great big cannon we could fire with a giant appropriation that would fix it everywhere, but the reality is it’s going to come in bits and pieces in a decentralized

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

35th & S. Monroe Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know 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.” 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 roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. Two road packages passed by voters last year added money to the city’s street fund. 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.

YMCA TO FEED THOUSANDS OF YOUTH THIS SUMMER When the final bell of the school year rings, children run home, eagerly anticipating the freedom of summer. But for some parents, the end of school brings home the real anxiety of wondering where their child’s crucial midday meal will now come from. The Y’s Summer Food Program helps fill that gap to make sure kids can enjoy healthy meals and snacks throughout the summer. In the 2015-2016 school year, the YMCA Camp Seymour, partnering with a state grant, served 1,240 meals per day to kids and teens. “The meals provided through the YMCA serve more than 200 students daily,” said Principal Rebecca Owens, First Creek Middle School. “Our school is a high needs school with more than 95 percent of our student population qualifying for free and reduced lunch. The need is great.” “Every week day at 5:15 p.m. they are the last kids to leave the building, and they leave with a full stomach, instead of hungry and not knowing where they will get their next meal,” said Abid Husain, math teacher and basketball coach. All meals are USDA-certified, and made fresh at YMCA Camp Seymour, delivered directly to the schools. “The food tastes like you have the best chef in the world and it is so very fresh,” said one First Creak Middle School student. Parents need not fear as the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties is making sure that children have their best summer ever, thanks to a variety of programs and activities that stimulate both mind and body. “We are passionate about providing healthy programming to kids,” said Charlie Davis, YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties, CEO and President. “The impact of this program on summer health loss and summer learning loss in our area is tremendous.” INPUT NEEDED FOR NEW COMMUNITY MEDIA CENTER Attention local media makers: Your input is desired. An informal study group is currently developing on the viability of a community media center (CMC) in Tacoma. Generally, CMCs have been public access TV stations, funded through a combination of cable franchise fees, member support, fee-for-service work, and grants. Tacoma has never had a public access TV station/CMC, though the city has a robust community of independent media makers. Defiance Media Arts Center would offer services such as video production services, equipment/space rental. We would offer screenings, interactive media exhibits, special events, classes, and workshops. The space would be useful to podcasters, filmmakers, vloggers, bloggers, indie journalists, photographers, and illustrators. The informal study group will meet every two weeks in Tacoma, the location as yet to be determined. More formal opportunities for development (such as board recruitment and fundraising) will take place at a later date. For more information on the effort to bring a community media center to Tacoma or to sign up to the mailing list, go to www.defiancemediaarts.org or email andrea@defiancemediaarts.org, describing your specific skills and interests relative to this project. If you’re not local to Tacoma but you’re interested - reach out anyway! TACOMA SYMPHONY WINS $10,000 GRANT This month, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Park Service announced $1,067,500 in support of 50 grants in 27 states, including an award of $10,000 to Tacoma Symphony to support the commission of a new symphonic poem written in homage to Mount Rainier by Puyallup native Daniel Ott. Imagine Your Parks is a grant initiative from the National Endowment for the Arts created in partnership with the National Park Service to support projects that use the arts to engage people with memorable places and landscapes of the National Park System. These awards are part of a larger National Endowment for the Arts announcement also made this month in which the agency will make 1,142 awards totaling $80.9 million to organizations in all 50 states and five jurisdictions. “As part of the NEA’s 50th anniversary, this year we are celebrating the magnificence of America’s national cultural treasures through art,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “The Imagine Your Parks grant program unites our mission with the National Park Service by connecting art projects with the natural, historic and cultural settings of the National Park System and will inspire a new generation to discover these special places and experience our great heritage.” “We are grateful to the National Endowment for the Arts for its support of next season’s commissioning project in commemoration of Mount Rainier National Park,” said Symphony Executive Director Andy Buelow. “Our hope for the ‘Mountain and Sea’ concert is to engage the community as a whole in music, art and environmental awareness simultaneously. The NEA’s support will help to involve regional audiences young and old as participants, not just recipients.” Tacoma Symphony’s project funded by the NEA is a highlight of the 16-17: the World Premiere of a new symphonic poem written in homage to Mount Rainier by Puyallup native Daniel Ott. A rising name in classical music, Ott grew up in Puyallup and now teaches at Fordham University and The Juilliard School. The work for chorus and orchestra is being commissioned by the Symphony as part of the National Park Service centennial and is part of the season’s culminating concert on May 13, 2017. Paired with Debussy’s great impressionist opus “La Mer,” the project celebrates the region’s richness and sense of place, from mountain to sound and is intended to raise awareness of the plight of Mount Rainier’s glaciers, which are melting at an increasing and alarming rate. Suite No. 1 from Grieg’s “Peer Gynt,” including the mysterious and fantastic “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” opens the program. The Museum of Glass (MOG) will create a

piece of art inspired by mountain and glacier imagery. The glassblowing process will be captured on a video that will accompany the performance, juxtaposed with photography of the mountain. HEALTH DEPARTMENT AWARDED NATIONAL ACCREDITATION Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has achieved national accreditation status from the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). It is one of only five health departments in the state and one of fewer than 200 nationwide to meet PHAB’s stringent quality standards. PHAB delivered the news to the local health department yesterday. Site reviewers visited Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department March 8 and 9 after a two-year document review process. The national accreditation program seeks to advance the quality of public health services at the nation’s 3,000 state, local, Tribal, and territorial public health departments through an extensive standards and performance-based approach. “We are excited to achieve PHAB’s national standards for excellence and continuous quality improvement,” said Director of Health Anthony L-T Chen, MD, MPH. “Accreditation confirms our commitment to deliver high quality services and to protect and improve the health of our community,” he said. Across the nation, health departments provide a range of services to promote healthy behaviors; prevent diseases and injuries; ensure access to safe food, water, clean air, and life-saving immunizations; and prepare for and responding to public health emergencies. “Achieving accreditation shows that Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department is dedicated to continuously improve the quality of the services as it carries out its mission,” said Ray Nicola, MD, MHSA, chair of PHAB’s Board of Directors and affiliate professor at the University of Washington School of Public Health in Seattle. STATE FARM AWARDS CITY WITH SUMMER JOBS GRANT For the second consecutive year, State Farm has awarded a $20,000 grant to the City of Tacoma for the Summer Jobs 253 program. “We thank State Farm for their $20,000 contribution which shows their continued commitment to the youth of Tacoma,” Mayor Strickland said. “This annual contribution to Summer Jobs 253 helps our students develop the important skills they will need to be successful at work, home and in our community.” The grant funding received from State Farm is the largest private sponsorship the Summer Jobs 253 has received to date. The program, which receives City funding, also relies on participating employer contributions and sponsorships. “Years from now students may not remember how much money they made, but they’ll never forget the mentoring they received and the life skills and experience they learned along the way,” State Farm spokesperson Ty Cordova said. “The opportunities being provided by the Mayor’s 253 Summer Job Program clearly align with what is important to State Farm, and that’s investing in the future of our youth.” This year, the program will serve 200 Tacoma high school students who will be placed with local employers to gain work experience, earn up to two high school credits and learn financial literacy and workplace skills. The program is still accepting employer applications to host a student, as well as program sponsors to join State Farm. More information is available through Alexis Walsh at awalsh@reachtacoma.org or on the program website, summerjobs253.com. WANTED: FRIENDLY FAMILIES TO HOST INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Pierce College is seeking caring, English-speaking families to host international students who have traveled from around the world to attend classes and experience American culture. Families wishing to be hosts must begin the application process immediately. Students have basic to advanced English language skills and take classes at both Puyallup and Fort Steilacoom campuses. Most students are college-age but may be older or younger. And, while students may come from all over the globe, most are from Asia. They look to their host families to help them learn American culture. “Hosting is a life-changing experience for the host and the student,” said George Scheffe, Pierce College international housing manager. “You, the host, can help influence and shape the destiny of a student, simply by sharing life together. The student will enrich and change your world view of their country and ours.” Host families should live within a 45-minute public bus ride, with no more than one transfer, to the Fort Steilacoom or Puyallup campus. Students pay hosts $600 a month to offset expenses. In exchange, host families provide each student a private, furnished room, including a bed, bedding, desk, lamp, closet or drawer space; three meals a day, including a homeprepared dinner that the host eats with the student; use of a washer and dryer; and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Family members must also pass a background check, arrange for a home visit, provide a list of references and attend an orientation session. “We welcome you to become a part of our international community,” Scheffe said. To learn more, call George Scheffe at (253) 964-6593 or email homestay@pierce.ctc.edu.

deputies searching for convicted rapist in pierce county By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

Pierce County deputies are asking for the public's help to find convicted rapist Marvin Lee Easley. The Level III sex offender has a warrant for his arrest for failure to register DAVID ROSE as a sex offender. The 53-year-old was convicted for rape in the third degree in King County in 2011. Court documents show the victim was a developmentally disabled woman. "When vulnerable people are victims, it makes it a higher priority for us to find the suspects," said Det. Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff's

Department. "This guy is known to target women who are strangers to him and we want to do everything we can to get him into custody." Easley was convicted in 2011 for raping a woman in Allen County, Ind. This isn't the first time he's been accused of failure to register. He was convicted for the same crime in Pierce County in 2008. If you can tell deputies where to find him, Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Call the hot line anonymously at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. This is one of the cases featured this weekend on Washington's Most Wanted airing Friday night at 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX and Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. on JOEtv and 10:30 p.m. on Q13 FOX.

$5 MILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST COUNTY DISMISSED The Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office secured a major victory May 31 when a $5 million lawsuit claiming false arrest and malicious prosecution was dismissed. The lawsuit was filed by Lynn Dalsing, a woman previously charged with sexual crimes against children. The Prosecutor’s Office and Pierce County stood by their position that she was lawfully arrested and charged. “We will always fight to protect children, fight to make our community safer, and fight for what’s right,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “As President Lincoln said, truth is the best vindication.” Dalsing has now dismissed all her claims, in both state and federal court, rather than proceed to trial. “Prosecutors charged Lynn Dalsing because evidence showed she facilitated crimes against children,” said Richard Jolley, an attorney representing the county. “Despite obstacles, our clients stuck to their guns because they knew they acted appropriately and ethically. This is a great victory for the Prosecutor’s Office, the Sheriff ’s Department and the people of Pierce County.” Dalsing was charged in 2010 with child molestation and sexual exploita-

tion of a minor when three young girls, including her daughter and a neighbor girl, disclosed they were being sexually abused by Dalsing’s husband, a previously convicted sex offender. Dalsing left her registered sex offender husband alone with the children. Dalsing’s husband pleaded guilty to the rape and molestation of the girls. When the prosecutor’s office determined that a photograph found on Dalsing’s home computer of a naked woman and young girl did not depict Dalsing and her daughter, the Prosecutor’s Office dropped the charges against her “without prejudice,” which meant the case was still open for investigation and possible charges at a later date. Dalsing filed a civil lawsuit against Pierce County alleging false arrest and malicious prosecution. In the course of the civil suit, more evidence came to light and criminal charges were refiled. When the criminal case was terminated over their objections, prosecutors fought the civil cases, which resulted in dismissals. “Our strong stand against these two baseless lawsuits should serve as a deterrent against future claims of this type,” said Lindquist.

19 ARRESTED IN UNDERCOVER PROSTITUTION STING An undercover prostitution sting conducted last night in Pierce County led to the arrests of 6 men and 13 women. In this multi-agency operation, led by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, undercover officers posed as “johns,” and set up “dates” with prostitutes through multiple websites. “In operations like this, the focus is on apprehending the traffickers,” said Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor. “We will continue to aggressively pursue individuals who abuse and exploit victims through sex trafficking.” The men, who were working as pimps, were arrested on charges of felony promoting prostitution. The women were arrested for misdemeanor prostitution. Charges will be forwarded to the County Prosecutor and Lakewood City Attorney. Multiple agencies collaborated in this operation including: the South Sound Child Exploitation Task Force (SSCETF), Washington State Patrol's Missing and Exploited Children's Task Force (MECTF), Lakewood Police Department, Tacoma Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Federal Protective Services (FPS), Washington State Department of Corrections, University Place Police Department and Lakewood Municipal Court.

Our View

Summer iSn’t fun for everyone The passage of Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer, which means vacations, family trips and backyard barbeques for some. But it also means work stresses, wallet strains and empty stomachs for others. And their ranks are growing. A survey of homelessness in Pierce County concluded that the number of people living on the streets or in their car or other unstable housing situations, such as “couch surfing,� has risen 37 percent in just the last year. Some 2,000 people in our community have no stable place to sleep. About 500 of them are children or teens. There are also the countless numbers of children with “working poor� parents who might have enough money to cover the costs of rent only with the help of free or reduced lunch programs. The last bell of the school year might also mean the end of the only nutritious meal some children receive on a daily basis. The end of those school lunches not only adds to the cost of food for already cash-strapped families, but the end of school also adds to family expenses associated with child care for children too young to stay home by themselves during the hours they would otherwise be in school -- if classes were in session. Metro Parks Tacoma tries to help by providing a roster of free playground and meals programs at its neighborhood parks. The Tacoma Public Library has free summer reading and learning programs to provide ways to not only offer structured activities for children and teens but also to battle the “summer slump� in learning. Other organizations and groups do their parts to provide entertaining and educational activities for everyone and expense-saving options for those most in need. But we can all do something. Emergency Food Network and food banks, for example, can always use donations of food household supplies. Parents and guardians – or friends of people with children – can share free and low-cost activity ideas. Employers and coworkers can help out by being flexible when it comes to scheduling hours for working parents. We can all do something to survive the care-free summer until school starts again in the fall.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, After walking my grandson to school today, I picked up a copy of the Tacoma Weekly and was pleased to see Barbara Williams’ letter to the editor (Tacoma Weekly, May 26, 2016). This articulate letter was in response to my April 29 Tacoma Weekly op-ed, “The Reach Act, The Global Fund and the Zika Virus.� As writers know, it is always nice to know someone is reading your work. In this case, Ms. Williams also added some important information that was not in my guest editorial. This shows that thoughtful readers pay attention to the Tacoma Weekly. And thanks to the paper for printing a letter that continues the public dialogue. The Tacoma Weekly encourages opinions and discussions. And in this case, helps inform our government about citizen concerns. I know, because I sent Ms. Williams’ letter to Senator Murray. So thanks to Ms. Williams for responding, to the Tacoma Weekly for providing a forum that is even read in Washington, D.C., and to each of you who calls or writes your senators and representatives, asking them to pass the Reach Every Mother and Child Act. This is how democracy works best, in this case helping to save millions of lives of mothers and children in our world! Willie Dickerson Snohomish, WA

Guest Editorial

DON’t LEt thE NEED fOR hEALth INSURANcE StOP YOU fROM LEAvINg By Susan Johnson Regional Director, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Region 10 Domestic violence is found across all socioeconomic groups – in fact, more than one-third of women and one in four men have been victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime. However, women are often economically dependent on their abusers and less capable of leaving and more likely to return to abusive partners. Many women are dependent on their spouses for insurance coverage. Domestic abuse is something we don’t like to talk about. The Department of Justice (DOJ) defines domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes

any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure or wound someone. For most of us, it’s hard to fathom intentionally harming those we love. We see domestic violence on TV programs – or turn to another channel to avoid it. We see domestic violence victims on the news. We like to think it couldn’t happen to anyone we know, but it does. We can’t just bury our heads in the sand and pretend that domestic abuse doesn’t exist. Awareness and education are integral to ending this cycle. Victims need appropriate community services. HHS and DOJ work extensively to eliminate domestic violence, as do state agencies and non-profit organizations. Getting Help with Domestic Violence from the HHS Family & Youth Services Bureau’s website contains a collection of resources available to domestic abuse victims. This issue has been addressed by a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for victims of domestic abuse/violence or spou-

s Those who are married to the abuser/abandoner can answer on the application that they are unmarried for purposes of receiving financial assistance, without fear of penalty for misstating marital status. s Self-attestation is required on tax forms the following year if financial assistance was received.

So, if you (or someone you know) are currently a victim of domestic abuse, don’t let the thought of losing your health insurance stop you from leaving an abusive relationship. Protect yourself and your children – you’ll still have health insurance options available.

StAY At hOME MILLENNIALS

By Don C. Brunell

Today, more millennials are moving back home even though the economy is improving and wages are inching upward. Recently, Pew Research Center revealed that a third of young adults today are more likely to live with their parents than they were before the Great Recession. Unemployment among young adults has been dropping since 2010 as has the number of millennials living independently. In 2007, prior to the recession, about 42.7 million individuals in that age group lived on their own. In the years in between, the population of 18to 34-year-olds grew by 3 million, yet the share of millennials living independently has decreased from 69 percent in 2010 to 67 percent this year. The trend is despite the good news that employers plan to hire 11 percent more new college graduates this year than they did in 2015, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ 2016 Job Outlook Report. This figure applies to all majors and degree levels, but it is more noticeable for STEM graduates – science, technology, engineering and math. The “not-so-good news� is that wage growth continues to be sluggish, dropping from just under 4 percent in 2008 to a post-recession high of 2.5 percent in December and January according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Earlier this month, Business Inside’s Bob Bryan wrote the underlying reasons for the “move back home trend� are a variety of economic factors. They include student debt, high costs of first-time homes, escalating rents and slower-than-expected economic growth over the past few years. Rent Jungle, an on-line firm which compares apartment rents nationally, finds that monthly rents in west coast metropolitan areas are too expensive. For example, in February, a twobedroom apartment in San Francisco averaged $4,126 compared to Seattle ($2,125), and Portland ($1,450). Spokane checks in at $755. Apartment List, a San Franciscobased apartment rental research firm, surveyed 30,000 renters and found student loan repayment coupled with high rents reduces the young people’s ability to save enough for a down payment on their first home. It reports that 58 percent of the college-educated millennials have monthly student loan payments averaging $410. It takes them now 10 years to save enough for a down payment on their first home. The bad news is young graduates cannot afford to buy homes in highpriced west coast cities like Seattle and Portland. Young people without college degrees can’t earn or save enough to buy homes in 20 of the 26 major metropolitan areas in America. That is not good for our economy because sales of existing homes, housing

sal abandonment who need health insurance. Dependents may be eligible, too. Washingtonians may contact Washington Healthplanfinder at 1 (855) 923-4633 to apply for this SEP. The SEP for victims of domestic abuse/ violence or spousal abandonment lasts 60 days from the date Washington Healthplanfinder has been notified. Some items to note:

starts and building permits are considered leading economic drivers. When Pew concludes the growing young adult population living at home has not fueled demand for housing units and the furnishings, telecom and cable installations and other ancillary purchases that accompany newly formed households, it is worrisome for all of us. Here are some steps that can help alleviate the problem: First, our elected officials must find ways to stimulate job and wage growth in the private, taxpaying sector rather than impede it with burdensome regulations and high taxes and fees. Second, parents and students must look for ways to lessen college expenses so their grown children have more disposable income and savings. A good way is for students to take classes at community colleges or on-line. Third, business leaders should consider expanding or relocating in communities where housing and living costs are more affordable. America’s future prosperity depends upon millennials’ success. They have to be greater economic contributors and deserve a better opportunity to get a place of their own and live independently. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

Spending a day in a Summit OlympuS HigH ScHOOlerS’ SHOeS Students shadow their peers to learn about public charter school model By John Levi Special to Tacoma Weekly

Riley Molt is looking for a new kind of high school experience. The ninth grader is hoping to make a change next year - he wants to attend a smaller public school that offers a personalized learning model that includes project based learning and a mentoring program. He recently toured Summit Olympus High School in Tacoma with his mother, Jennifer Ressler. Riley had the chance to spend the morning shadowing another student and learning more about the public charter high school. “I can’t wait for next year,� Riley said. “I really like the idea of self-directed learning. I’m excited about what I saw.� His mother, who also toured the school, said what impresses her is the fact that Summit not only has a great track record of making sure graduates get into a four-year college, but that Summit grads succeed in college. In fact, 99 percent of Summit’s graduates are accepted to a four-year college. “I love that Summit doesn’t just talk about college readiness, but college success, and how to make sure all students can thrive during that first year of college,� she said. Greg Ponikvar, executive director of Summit Olympus, said the small, diverse school offers a personalized learning model, where students can work at their own pace, and a strong mentorship program. Each student is paired with a mentor who helps them set short term and long term goals and check in on progress every week. Summit Olympus offers a small, personalized learning environment that ensures each student is well known and is an integral part of a dynamic and supportive community. “We look carefully at how each and every student is doing academically, socially and emotionally and we make sure all students have the support they need to succeed,� he said. Summit Olympus, Tacoma’s first public charter high school, opened its doors in fall 2015 to 9th graders. The school is accepting 9th and 10th graders for the 2016-17 school year and will roll up to a full four-year high school by the 2018-19 school year. Summit Olympus is part of the larger Summit

Public Schools, which also offers a public charter high school in South Seattle and operates eight schools in California. All Summit Public Schools are tuition-free and have no entrance requirements. Summit Olympus 9th grader Sammy Harris, 14, showed recent families on a tour what she was working on during personalized learning time. She said when she first heard about Summit Olympus it seemed too good to be true. “It’s not staged, this is real. This is the school for achieving your goals,� Sammy said. “You can really make your mark here.� In addition to the academic work, students have electives in four two-week expedition sessions, where they explore new or existing passions such as culinary arts, drama, music, sports, student leadership, photography, video and film production. “We work with community partners to develop expeditions, and these electives are driven by student interests,� Ponikvar said. Gabriel Huffer, a 9th grader, is homeschooled now. He and his mother, Seana, are looking for options for next year. Gabriel shadowed a student in a biology class, which is in the midst of a DNA barcoding project that involves testing fish at local Tacoma restaurants to determine their true origin. “Students were deeply engaged in the lab,� he said. “Everyone was working at

Summit Solves and Summit Reads allows students to receive additional instruction to make sure they are on track, or time to challenge themselves with advanced material. All students at Summit Olympus, located at 409 Puyallup Ave., receive a free

Currently, when storm water runoff moves through the drainage systems of larger municipalities, it collects a wide range of toxic substances – from motor oil to septic waste – and it carries it straight into the local watershed. “That body of water is sick, and the storm water that runs into it on an untreated basis is literally a pathogen,” Heck said. “Storm water is a pathogen that will sooner or later kill that great body of water.” Kilmer and Heck’s legislation would not just help the Sound, but other vital bodies of water across the country and also establish rewards for green adopters in the future.

Perhaps the most unusual offering is a series of living history presentations performed by a group of re-enactors called the Fort Nisqually Time Travelers. Twice monthly in June, July and August, they will assume the roles of important Tacoma historical figures such as Edith May Ferris, who owned the park’s first boathouse, and Ebenezer Roberts, the first gardener and superintendent of Tacoma parks. Other activities include family nature walks, history tours, and

Tacoma Deputy Mayor Ryan Mello was at the event, and commended Kilmer and Heck for their dedication to cleaning up the Puget Sound. “[Heck and Kilmer] are not just about ribbon cuttings and public events, although these are very important to raising awareness of how sick Puget Sound is. I’ve been in many rooms with them where they’re committed to learning best practices and understanding why Puget Sound is so sick, bringing the partners together to solve problems,” Mello said. “In Tacoma we really value these kinds of projects and really value transforming our community so we can live in this great place, have a great strong economy and recovering Puget Sound at the same time.” For more information on Congressmen Heck and Kilmer’s Puget Sound Recovery Caucus, visit http://dennyheck.house.gov/legislative-work/puget-sound-recovery.

TACOMA DOME, CONVENTION CENTER GET WIRED Mobilitie, the nation’s largest privately-held wireless infrastructure provider, has announced the installation of both a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and Wi-Fi network, providing ubiquitous wireless coverage throughout the Tacoma Dome and Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center for guests. “Wireless connectivity enhances our guests’ experiences, enabling them to stay connected and share exciting moments with friends and family in real-time,” said Kim Bedier, Director Public Assembly Facilities, City of Tacoma. “Mobilitie brought us the right solutions for coverage and capacity, and we are thrilled that our exhibitors, attendees and partners will benefit from the boosted capacity.” Both the Tacoma Dome, with its large wood-domed structure, and the Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center, known for its trademark glass walls, now have a contiguous DAS and Wi-Fi network that are linked together. More than 130 antennas and 190 Wi-Fi Access Points were used to build the wireless infrastructure. “We are excited about our partnership with Tacoma Dome and Convention Center. Iconic venues like these require robust wireless coverage and capacity to keep guests connected to their business community, as well as with friends and family,” said Christos Karmis, President of Mobilitie. “With U.S. mobile data usage expected to increase by more than 600 percent over the next two years, we wanted to ensure that our intelligent infrastructure will support guests’ wireless needs today and in the future. Mobilitie’s DAS and Wi-Fi networks will ensure guests have uninterrupted access to voice and data services.” Mobilitie’s growth has been largely fueled by its intelligent approach to telecommunications infrastructure in the U.S. Mobilitie’s partners include all major wireless carriers, as well as sports and entertainment arenas such as, Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks, Verizon Center, home of the Washington Wizards, Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, and Toyota Park, home of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. In addition, Mobilitie’s DAS network at Churchill Downs supported the highest-ever recorded data traffic usage during a onehour period at the 2016 Kentucky Derby.

steps of polishing the long-neglected gem. “We want to bring it all back,” said Brian McMenamin, noting that crews are interviewing former Elk members and reviewing historical photographs to help them mirror the lodge’s original architectural features during the renovation. The 32-year-old, Portland-based company has renovated and restored 54 historic properties around the Pacific Northwest, including the Spar Cafe in Olympia and most recently the Anderson School-turned destination brewpub and hotel in Bothell. Renovation plans for the Elks Lodge show 45-room hotel with a brewpub and three restaurants as well as a South Pacific-themed bar that will be surrounded by flowing water, a music venue with exclusive balcony spaces and a “secret bar” that would sit about 40 people… if

That helps, but still doesn’t tell a high school senior looking for a major what it is that Feller teaches. Another PLU student, Angela Nommensen, found the program while flipping through a course catalog and wondered what it was about. “I saw ‘Conflict and Peacebuilding’ and read up about it. I liked it – it was about communicating with others,” Nommensen said. “People ask me what the program is, and I tell them it’s about positive manipulation. With a child, for instance, instead of saying, ‘No! No! No!’ maybe you try something like, ‘Come play with this toy.’ “You keep it positive, and resolve the conflict.” Feller has taken classes to Northern Ireland and other sites of world conflict, giving students the opportunity to work in peace building. “There are peace makers and peace builders,” she said. “In major conflicts, peace makers bring the sides together and work out a resolution. Peace builders are the ones who come in after that and help those involved resolve conflicts that arise, help sustain a viable peace,” Fuller said. “There is no greater need in this world than for peace builders, and there is something for everyone to contribute at whatever level they want. It may be within their own relationships. I find peace building synonymous with community building.” Over the past few years, Feller has seen a small community grow in her own classroom. Four students, their children and significant others bonded over issues they shared – pregnancy and staying in school while dealing with the demands of a family. “We all connected in part because we were all unconventional students,” Janae Reinhardt said. “We all have children. A

they can find it. One of the building’s former banquet rooms will have hotel rooms clustered into cabins that will be surrounded by hanging plants and herbs, some of which will be used in the restaurants. Local artists will paint murals around the building and key graffiti drawings that vandals had spray painted over the years will be preserved. “That’s part of the building’s history,” Mike McMenamin said. Renovations will take about a year, with a grand opening set for late 2017. The McMenamins bought the Elks Lodge for $1.2 million in 2009 and announced plans for a boutique hotel. Those plans were stalled as the company concentrated its efforts on the $26 million Bothell project. That hotel opened last year, allowing the development company to concentrate on the Elks Lodge, including a crowdfunding effort as it did to raise money for its Bothell project. The company has so far raised about $6 million of its $10

couple of us were pregnant at the same time. We developed pretty strong friendships.” It was an odd mix. Ilbrink, 30, was in the Army and has since transitioned to the Washington National Guard. He’s looking for a job as a video game producer, where his ability to communicate would be key in acting as a buffer between the artistic team and upper management. He’s married and has two children. Holly Dunbar, 26, has two young daughters and wants to work in the community, preferably with schools, where she has already developed a conflict-and-peace-building curriculum with one Tacoma middle school. When she took a school sabbatical during her pregnancy, she said, some PLU instructors said she wouldn’t be back. “I came back and graduated (last week),” Dunbar said. “I’m thinking of going for a Masters in counseling.” Reinhardt is a new mom, graduated in 2015 and now works fulltime as assistant to the vice president of advancement at PLU, where her duties include fund-raising. “During the interview process, I was told they liked my thoughts on bringing the interns together, getting them all on the same page,” she said. “Since then, I’ve used what I learned to work through issues as they’ve come up.” Nommensen is the mother of two daughters, and returned to school six days after giving birth to the sec-

million from about two dozen investors. The minimum investment was set at $150,000, less than the Bothell investment package to make the Tacoma project more accessible to community investors. The company also has eyes on renovating Old City Hall into a 60-room hotel and music venue once the Elks Lodge is completed. Rough plans would have that facility open in 2019, providing Tacoma with two destination hotels under one ownership within yards of each other in downtown. Outside of the city spending more than $1 million to shore up Old City Hall to safeguard against further decay, little work will come to the building until the Elks Lodge opens. “They are standalone projects,” Mike McMenamin said. “One is not dependent on the other.”

ond. Feller, she said, made certain she was comfortable in class while pregnant – bringing in a padded office chair for her. She’s close to earning a mediation certificate through Pierce County. She’s a year short of graduating at PLU. And then, there’s Feller, an earth mother-type who doesn’t mind having the occasional child show up in class because someone’s day care worker was sick. “I see myself as a kind of ‘Auntie Mame’ type,” Feller said, laughing. “My choice was not to have children, so I get to love my student’s children.” “Amanda is a wonderful person and a great mentor,” Reinhardt said. “She supported my passion for peace building and gave me tools and approaches to deal with conflict. Conflict is inevitable, no matter where you go in life.” Dunbar, once a nursing major, jumped into Feller’s program once she found it. “The classes ranged from public speaking to dialogue to group communications, and the focus was always resolving conflict,” Dunbar said. “Dialog is always better than arguing, and Amanda gave us tools to find the approach that works.”

ell it was bound to happen sooner or later. After attending seven games so far this season, the chances of leaving Cheney Stadium with the usual winning swagger for an eighth straight time was probably getting fairly slim. However, a funny thing happened on my way out of the parking lot following the Rainiers 5-3 loss to the Salt Lake Bees on Tuesday, May 31. I switched on the postgame report by the Rainiers’ Mike Curto on 850 AM and all the little bits of sadness were washed away when Curto reminded listeners of a pretty important statistic concerning this Tacoma ball club, and frankly, my face nearly cracked from the ear-to-ear smile. The Tacoma Rainiers are still in first place. That is correct. Even though Tacoma had a bit of a rough road trip recently, and are 5-5 over the last 10 contests, our hometown boys are still sitting pretty atop the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific Northern division with a 30-21 record. The second-place Reno Aces remain a full five games behind the Rainiers in the standings at 25-26. With about a third of the season under our belts, it’s pretty clear that we’re dealing with a special ball club in Cheney this season. Now, before we get all hot and bothered about our local sluggers, we need to take a look at the state of affairs within the Seattle Mariners’ organization. As the Major League parent of the Tacoma Rainiers, it’s important to keep an eye on the goings on of the big club, because over the course of a single season they can alter the makeup of our Tacoma team in all sorts of ways, and they don’t always end up bringing more wins to Cheney Stadium with the outcome. Let’s face it, sometimes a Mariner will get dinged up and they’re going to make the call down here to the 253 and grab what they consider to be the best option for their club. Occasionally it’s a crowd favorite and there’s been a few times over the years when we never saw that player suit up for Tacoma ever again. Since I’ve met several new fans at the ballpark this season, I feel compelled to

(middle) The Seattle Mariners placed ace pitcher Felix Hernandez on the 15-day disabled list and called up starter James Paxton from Tacoma before his scheduled start on Tuesday, May 31.

(bottom) Infielder Mike Baxter looks to regain the earlyseason mojo he had at the plate when he was crushing home runs and game winners.

It’s been a rough school year for Tacoma public schools on the fields, courts and diamonds. While Tacoma rightfully boasts some of the finest athletes in the state of Washington, the winning combination hasn’t been coming together for Grit City’s best when it comes to getting their hands on a state championship trophy. All that changed at Mt. Tahoma Stadium on Saturday, May 28 as the Lincoln boys’ track and field team hoisted that elusive bit of hardware that says “1st Place” on the front of it. As track meets go, the state meet is often the wildest, with upsets, controversy and incredible finishes the regular deal. This year’s version didn’t let the thousands of fans in attendance down when it came to these departments. When it comes to track and field, there is nothing better than having the team championship hinge upon the final few events. Running, jumping and leaping in front of their hometown faithful, the Lincoln Abes waited until the final event of the 3A championship to finally notch a first-place finish, and lock down their first state track title since 1977. The final event of the day would be the boys’ 4x400 meter relay. It’s easily one of the most exciting events in all of track and field, and there is no better way to top off a championship weekend with the top-three teams in the standings involved in the final race. As it stood entering the 17th and final event, Lincoln had 35.66 points. In second place was Mt. Spokane with 32.5 points, followed by Bonney Lake with 32 points. With eight teams in the field, and all eight placing barring some sort of disqualification, it was going to take a win by either Mt. Spokane or Bonney Lake, coupled with a fifth-place or worse finish by the Abes to eke out a tight win and steal the championship. By the time Lincoln’s Walker Flynn crossed the finish line, the hometown faithful were basking in the sudden glow of a state championship. If Bonney Lake was going to wrest the title from Lincoln, they didn’t bring it hard enough in their last

SOUNDERS U23 TO HOST TWO AS PDL SEASON KICKS INTO FULL SWING

The Sounders U23 hosts two PDL Northwest Division teams from Oregon this weekend as the PDL season gets into full swing. Lane United will bring their undefeated record at 1-0-3 into Sunset Stadium in Sumner on Friday night June 3 at 7:30 p.m. to take on the Sounders U23 team currently at 1-1 after starting the season late due to U.S. Open Cup participation. The Sounders U23 will then turn around and play fellow MLS affiliate side, the Portland Timbers U23 team, on Sunday June 5 at South Sound Stadium next to North Thurston High School at 2pm. Lane United comes into the match Friday with a strong defensive team having only given up three goals over 4 games. All three goals against came in a match with Portland Timbers U23 this past weekend with former Lane United striker, Tim Mueller, supplying a brace against his former team. Ismael Fernandez, Daley Stevens, and Vicente Mora Espinoza have all contributed goals early for Lane United and former Sounders FC Academy goalkeeper, Ben Willis, is manning the nets. The Portland Timbers U23 team find themselves in unfamiliar territory with a record of 0-3-2 to start the 2016 PDL campaign. Loaded with talented players, the Timbers U23 squad will be looking to get into the win column against the rivals to the north in the annual gamehosted by Black Hills Football Club. A pre-match clinic is nearly sold out and the crowd will again pack the stadium in the south end. Tim Mueller leads the Timbers U23 with 3 goals while Jordan Jones and Dakota Barnathan have each scored a goal. Barnathan has also contributed an assist and Collin Partee and Nils Leifhelm are sharing duties in the net. The Sounders U23 will play nine games in June with four games at Sunset Stadium in Sumner. The PDL Northwest Division has put a team in the national semi-final for 6 years running with two national championships in that time and placing many players into professional contracts. Come check out the future. For tickets and information, check out www.soundersu23.com.

LOGGERS GRAB ALL-AMERICAN TRACK AND FIELD HONORS

Senior sprinter Allanah Whitehall earned an AllAmerican nod during the final day of the NCAA D-III Outdoor Track & Field Championships hosted by Wartburg College on Saturday, May 28. Whitehall placed third in the 100-m dash, timing in at 12.22 seconds. The Seattle native holds the Puget Sound record and the Northwest Conference Championships record in the event, crossing the finish line in 11.88 seconds in April this season. Tyler Shipley earned All-American status in the 10,000-m run on Thursday, placing third with a time of 30.55.25. On Saturday, Shipley placed 12th in the 5,000-m by timing in at 15:03.60. Geremia Lizier-Zmudzinski finished 16th in the same event with a time of 15:21.48. Whitehall also ran in the 200-m dash, where she placed 18th overall (25.14) during the preliminaries. Shipley can add another accolade to the mantle. The senior distance runner was recently named to the Academic All-District Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Shipley earned All-American status in the 10,000-m run by placing third overall (30:55.25) during the NCAA D-III Outdoor Championships. Earlier in the year, Shipley garnered All-American in the 5,000-m run with a fifth-place finish (14:29.14) during the NCAA D-III Indoor Championships. Shipley became the first Northwest Conference student-athlete to win four consecutive league titles in both the 10k and the 5k, claiming victories in both events during April’s NWC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Shipley is the 2015 NWC Men’s Cross Country Champion, and he was subsequently named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Male Athlete of the Year. The Forest Grove, Oregon, native is also Puget Sound’s 2015-16 Male Student-Athlete of the Year. Shipley has a 3.71 GPA through the Fall 2015 semester while studying Anthropology.

PLU WOMEN MAKE MOST OF NCAA BID WITH FOURTH-PLACE FINISH

The Pacific Lutheran women’s rowing team used two strong performances in the Grand Finals to finish fourth place overall at the 2016 NCAA Division III Rowing Championships on Lake Natoma. National Champions Wellesley College used a first place finish in the 1V and a runner-up finish in the 2V8 to capture the first team title in school history. Bates College, the 2015 champions, finished second, followed by Williams College in third in the overall team standings. “It was a great weekend for us,” said Andy Foltz, PLU head coach. “The team grew a lot over the three races and we are really proud of the character that they showed to get both boats into the grand and to compete the way that we did was really special.” The Northwest Conference Champions made program history earning the Lutes first team bid to the championships. The Lutes finished the day’s first Grand Final with a time of 7:21.713. Bates (6:50.927) had a strong start and held on to the lead throughout the race to take the title. Wellesley (6:59.315), and Williams (7:06.509) finished second and third, respectively. The Lutes went on to finish fifth in the 1V8 Grand Final, recording a time of 6:56.763. Wellesley took the 1V National Title, leading from start to finish, with a final time of 6:46.100. Williams (6:47.405) and Wesleyan (6:47.824) finished second and third, respectively. “It is always hard to say goodbye to a senior class,” added Foltz. “This one has the been the catalyst for what we are doing so it is really tough. As a program, we are excited to see where each of them goes and we are thankful their leadership. This year has been incredibly memorable and something this entire team will never forget.” Following their historic weekend, the accolades continued for the Pacific Lutheran women’s rowing team as six student-athletes have been named Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) National Scholar-Athletes for the 2015-16 season. To be named a CRCA scholar athlete, the studentathlete has a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher for her career, has rowed in the institution’s NCAA eligible boat for a minimum of 75% of the current spring races, and has met all eligibility rules as defined by the institution. Seniors Carly Lange and Evan Schmidt, both nursing majors lead the roster of Lutes earning the honor. Joining them are junior Sydney Otey (Hispanic Studies & Sociology), sophomore Emily Odegard (Social Work) and first years Hannah Peterson (communications) and Sarah Stafford (Kinesiology). “We are extremely proud of not just these six, but also

The Twin City Union showed an improved game by knocking the South Sound Shock down – and out of first place in the Northwest Premier League (NWPL). There were no goals in the match but the 0-0 doubleshutout was a win of sorts for Twin City. The Union lost 2-0 to South Sound earlier in the season in their first-ever league match. Now the Orange and Blue feel like they are turning their season in the right direction. Since being one of Spokane’s nine-goal victims TCU has gone unbeaten with a win and two draws. The Centralia/Chehalis crew are now 1-2-2 with 5 points, good enough for third in the league but a distance behind the Shadow and Shock. South Sound (3-0-2) was shorthanded due to collegiate graduations and was coming off of an emotional high from a two big home wins over Spokane and the Olympic Force. They couldn’t muster the same kind of performance this time and paid for it with a drop to second place, though they remain the only unbeaten team in the league. The Shock outshot the Union 7-3, but couldn’t get anything past TCU goalkeeper Sunny DeBoer. The Union struggled to create chances and were blanked by Shock goalkeeper Takara Matsui, who recorded her secondstraight clean sheet and has given up just one goal in over 270 minutes of play. The South Sound women return home to host Fuerza FC on Saturday, June 4 at Curtis Viking Stadium. First kick is set for 7 p.m. On the men’s side, the Shock had a rough go of it on the road against the first-place Vancouver Victory on Saturday, May 28, dropping their second game of the season to the Victory (4-0-0) by a score of 3-1. The loss drops the Shock (3-3-0) into a tie for third place in the Evergreen Premier League (EPLWA) with Bellingham United (3-1-0). The Shock will play three more road matches before returning home on Sunday, June 19 at Curtis Viking Stadium. First kick is set for 4 p.m.

TAcomA AThleTeS mAke Their mArkS AT STATe

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

It’s one thing to win back-to-back state championships in any single track and field event. Pull it off twice, and you’re dealing with some rare air. Throw a state cross country championship in-between the bunch and it’s pretty much legendary now. Bellarmine Prep senior Jack Yearian made the most of his final two high school races. Yearian defended his 4A boys’ 1,600 meters championship on Friday, May 27 at Mt. Tahoma Stadium in a time of 4:07.68, and followed it up the next day by defending his 3,200 meters crown in a time of 9:05.63. Winning a cross country title and the two track and field distance races in the same year is very rare. Basically winning five top-level races in a row, from last spring to now, is pretty much unheard of. It might be a long time before we see a distance runner like Jack Yearian around these parts again. Yearian wasn’t alone scoring points for Bellarmine at the 4A state meet. Junior Cameron Wyman scored a fourth-place finish in the 1,600 (4:13.48) and an eighth-place finish in the 800 (1:58.75). Sophomore Chase Chandler finished sixth in the javelin with a throw of 176’-02�. On the girls’ side, Bellarmine’s Daizanique Anderson finished sixth in the long jump with a leap of 17’-04�. The Curtis girls put together a strong team performance on their way to 41 team points and a third-place finish. The Viking relay teams led the way with three topfive finishes. Curtis finished second in the 4x100 (48.38), third in the 4x200 (1:40.65) and fifth in the 4x400 (3:58.31). Sophomore Saudia Heard missed out on defending her 4A state triple jump crown by one and a quarter inch with a best leap of 38’04�, good enough for second place. Fellow sophomore Alexis Ellis finished fourth in the long jump with a leap of 18’-00.5�. Curtis Senior Nichole Coltrain finished

CONNECT. Shortstop Chris Taylor takes a healthy cut. Taylor has a career .313

batting average in the minor leagues, but it just hasn't seemed to transfer over when he's had his opportunities with the Seattle Mariners. On a recent call-up, Taylor had a rough inning in his first game and committed two costly errors in an inning. It wasn't long before Taylor was back with Tacoma, and hitting well to all fields. Some day it's going to click with Taylor. The big question is will it be with some other organization?

go-round. The Abes shaved nearly four seconds off of their 4x400 preliminary time in the finals at 3:20.19, while Bonney Lake had improved by a little more than a second at 3:20.52. Mt. Spokane’s brief glimmer of hope also failed to appear, as they finished nearly four seconds behind the Abes. In quite a shocking turn, the final outcome was in doubt for a few moments as track officials weighed whether or not to disqualify Lincoln. As Flynn caught Bonney Lake’s Bennett Hillier on the homestretch, teammate Alvin Johnson was running and cheering him on from the infield. In the end, the judges didn’t feel it was enough to constitute a “pacing� violation, and the Lincoln party was in full tilt as the Abes finished with 45.66 points to Bonney Lake’s second-place total of 40 points. It was a two day grind for Lincoln, and it wasn’t necessarily coming easy. Entering the state meet, the Abes were one of the favorites in the 4x100 relay. All they had to do was get through the preliminaries and chances were pretty good that they would rack up some decent points in the final on Saturday. A bad handoff would almost prove to be fatal for Lincoln’s chances as they finished nearly four seconds behind the seventh place team in their heat. They would not be heading to the finals in one their top events. Yet, they still pulled off the big win. When Lincoln sophomore James Mwaura surprised the field in the 3,200 meters and crossed the line in second place with a time of 9:10.21, Lincoln earned

a huge eight team points that catapulted them into the 4x400 relay final. Mwaura already notched five points for the team with his fourth-place finish the day before in the 1,600 meters (4:15.43). While Flynn saved the best for last with his come-from-behind performance as Lincoln’s 4x400 anchor man, he had also already rolled up 13 points for the team. Flynn took second in the 400 meter dash with a time of 48.80 seconds, and finished fourth in the 200 meter dash in 22.52 seconds. Lincoln senior Xzavier Weston added a fifth-place finish in the 100 meter dash in a time of 11.34 seconds, while running into a headwind. Senior Alvin Johnson scored a sixth-place finish in the triple jump (42’-10�), while teammate Tony Archie added another point with an eighth-place finish with a triple jump of 43’-03�. Teammate Terrell Bromer’s best mark fell a half-inch short of Archie, and just out of the points. Timeko Williams and Bromer would each score a third of a point for the Abes with an eighth-place showing in the high jump, clearing the bar at 6’-0�. A single point had to be split into thirds following a three-way tie. Kameron Smith added one more point for the Abes with an eighth-place finish in the shot put with a mark of 48’-08.5.� This was the recipe for a state championship, and all of the ingredients didn’t even pan out like they could, or should have. Sometimes winning the title simply comes down to who is going to want it more and be the last men standing. The Lincoln 4x400 relay squad of Flynn, Bromer, Johnson and Daniel CalderonHernandez answered that final bell and along with the rest of their teammates, just seemed to want it more than anyone else in the City of Destiny that day.

inform or remind our fans about the inevitable heartache, or heartbreak, that comes along with being a die-hard Rainiers fan. After a while, our best players leave town. Luckily, under most circumstances, we don’t have to say goodbye to them entirely, as they move on up to the Mariners and we can continue rooting for them just up the road. Sometimes they get traded or released, and that’s where the worst of the Rainier heartbreak happens. It’s probably going to happen at some point this season, and we’re going to need to prepare ourselves emotionally. These are some of the grim facts that get forgotten when your team is in the midst of perhaps a magic season. Now that we’ve had this little talk, let’s get back to just how incredible the baseball is around the Puget Sound right now. Despite their exceptional 30-21 record, the Mariners have slipped a half-game back out of first place in the American League West standings as of press time here at the Tacoma Weekly. Unlike the Rainiers, Seattle has to fend-off a smoking hot ball club right now in the Texas Rangers. The big drawback for the Mariners currently is their home record. While Seattle boasts the best road record (18-7) in Major League Baseball, they’ve been found a little wanting at Safeco Field. A perfect example of the home Seattle blues is their recent home stand. They took two of three from the Oakland Athletics and then hosted the Minnesota Twins for a three-game weekend series. The Twins came into Seattle with the worst record in the American League and ended up sweeping the Mariners. Seattle pummeled the San Diego Padres for two home games to follow, before heading back out on the road to hopefully add to their ridiculously good away record. The next two weekends will be big for Seattle fans, as the Mariners visit the Rangers and then host them a week later. This could be a big shakeup in the standings, either way.

As players come and go during the season, the chances of Tacoma fans seeing a player or two promoted up from Seattle’s Double-A team will increase. Currently, the Jackson Generals are sizzling hot with a 33-18 record and lead the Southern League’s North division by 8.5 games over the Montgomery Biscuits (still one of the best names in baseball). So as it stands, we’re still pretty much dealing with nothing but first-place baseball around these parts and as the season wears on, teams are going to be gunning for our clubs with more gusto. Remember, everybody loves a winner, and all the rest love to beat those winners. The Rainiers have some great games and great nights in store for the fans coming up quick. On Thursday, June 2, Salt Lake will roll out recently signed pitcher Tim Lincecum against the Rainiers. Tacoma will send Donn Roach to the mound, and he’s been on a tear of late. Over his last four appearances, Roach has logged 26.2 innings and given up just four runs. He’s hot, and Lincecum, the former San Francisco superstar, is making his first appearance in what seems like eons. Whatever the outcome, it looks like the fixings for a memorable night at Cheney. Friday, June 3, 10 and 17 are all “Fireworks Fridays� following the ballgames at Cheney. If you need any more inducements to come out to a reasonably priced baseball game, then I’m not sure we’re on the same page. A free fireworks show is pretty much right there with baseball and apple pie. While I haven’t found any apple pie at the stadium yet, I’m pretty sure that two out of three still isn’t too bad. The Rainiers conclude their home stand with Salt Lake on Friday, June 3, before heading out to face the Las Vegas 51’s for a four-game set. Tacoma will return to Cheney on Thursday, June 9, for a four-game series with the Reno Aces and then hit the road to face the Salt Lake Bees for four games. Tacoma’s next home stand will begin Friday, June 17, as the Rainiers host the Fresno Grizzlies. For tickets and additional information, be sure to visit tacomarainiers.com.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

Federal, regional, state and local leaders gathered with the Puyallup Tribal Council last spring to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Joining in on the event were (back row from left): Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon.

The most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians continues 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 3,100 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities – approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native – employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits.

In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 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. From sponsoring local charities, non-profit 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 healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as “the generous people,” the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.” In the following pages, you’ll read more about what a valuable community partner the Puyallup Tribe of Indians is to the region and the state.

SUPPORT FOR OUR NATIVE COMMUNITY

When Gov. Jay Inslee visited the Tribe’s Elders Center on Nov. 30, Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud (right) and elder Len Ferro (left) wrapped him in a Puyallup Tribe Pendleton blanket as a token of thanks and respect.

To the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the word “community” means more than its own membership circle. With more than 4,900 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 Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) has seen many accomplishments this past year. Below are just a few of the top news stories of 2015. Residency Program. PTHA’s residency program saw the first residents graduating in June. Graduates Brian Nelson and Aaron Rhyner began their residency three years prior and helped build PTHA’s residency program from the ground up. Since the graduation, Dr. Rhyner has been hired on as a full time physician. Accreditations. PTHA continues to prove commitment to quality and excellence in health care by receiving full three-year Accreditation from AAAHC and received additional recognition as an Accredited Medical Home. In addition to AAAHC, PTHA was reviewed by both the AOA (American Osteopathic Association) and COLA (Clinical Laboratory Accreditation) this year, and both received full accreditation with zero deficiencies. Zero Suicide Program. Puyallup Tribal Health Authority is committed to transforming health care and changing public perception of suicide to help reduce the number of suicide deaths. A team of people from several Puyallup Tribal entities implemented the Zero Suicide model in the Puyallup Tribe community. The Zero Suicide program sets a basis for prevention of all suicide deaths through improved care and a commitment to patient safety. Taking a continued quality improvement approach and providing long-term follow up are some of the ways this team continues to work

As PTHA resident doctors Brian Nelson and Aaron Rhyner prepared for the formal graduating ceremony the Tribe gave them, they were dressed in the traditional way.

toward moving the community to Zero Suicide deaths in the future. Smoke-free Campus. PTHA became a smoke-free campus, which has had many benefits not only in promoting wellness in the community, but also decreasing drug activity by removing smoking enclosures, modeling healthy behavior to our youth, improving campus appearance and encouraging patients to quit smoking. Puyallup Tribal Member Events. Puyallup tribal members enjoyed days dedicated specifically for them during “School Days, Healthy Ways” and the four “Honoring Our Elders” days throughout the year. ELDERS Elder care is a top priority for the Tribe, with nearly $4.4 million spent in 2015 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, and holds a monthly luncheon at which one elder is chosen for special honoring. YOUTH The Tribe works to proactively instill positive values in its young members as early as possible through several important means: s Puyallup Tribal Community Center. This 34,000square-foot facility includes a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility also accommodates gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals and cultural activities. The Tribe partners with Junior Achievement to offer financial education to the youth, which is now held at the Tribal Community Center for two weeks during the summer.

s 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 950 pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade 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. s Grandview Early Learning Center. During 2015, Grandview Early Learning Center served 142 families and 247 children, providing quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community. s Education Opportunities. For youth and adults wishing to seek higher education after high school, or earn their general equivalency degree (GED), the Puyallup Tribe ensures that funding is available for tuition assistance, books, tutoring and more. HOUSING The Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority (PNHA) strive to provide safe, sanitary, and comfortable homes for Puyallup Tribal members living in the Puyallup Nation’s service area. During 2015 PNHA provided housing assistance to more than 150 households. The families served represent 337 individuals. All units are kept fully occupied and few vacancies occurred during 2015. The PNHA owns and operates 135 housing units, which are a mix of single-family homes, apartments, and duplexes. In addition to the units owned by the Tribe, PNHA maintained 30 Rental Assistance Vouchers, formerly known as Section-8, where units are rented on behalf of eligible tribal members and the rental payments are made to the property owners.

SPACEWORKS NEON: A CELEBRATION

SUCCESSFUL STARTUPS. Businesses that have found retail space or gotten training through Spaceworks – a joint venture between the City of

Tacoma and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce – include (clockwise from top left) Grit City Grindhouse/Alchemy Skate Park: Ben Warner (l) and Taylor Woodruff (r), Spun: April Sanders with Spun student, Fabitat and Yoshiko Yamamoto of Arts & Crafts Press.

T

acoma’s Spaceworks program will showcase some of its biggest successes stories next week with Neon, a party and fundraiser that will kick off at 6 p.m. on June 11 at the Carpenters Building. Following the Grand Cinema’s Track 01 party on Thursday, the event is also notable for giving Tacomans a second chance to preview the space, a converted union hall at 1322 Fawcett Ave. that is being renovated to open as a multiple-use arts space next year. The Neon gala will feature live music by Clemm Rishad, Nate Dybevik, and Ken Jacobsen. It will showcase the nimble footwork of Barefoot Collective and Sound Movement Art Center along with theatrical performances by Inside Out Shakespeare and Tacoma Actors Repertory Theater. There will be art installations with works by Kris Crews, Jennifer Robbins, Elizabeth Gahan and Michael Laine, and models will strut down the runway sporting fresh gear from Polyrev, Sky Movement and more. All of next weeks participants are beneficiaries of Spaceworks, a joint venture between the City of Tacoma and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce. Launched in 2010, Spaceworks programs match aspiring entrepreneurs and artists with empty storefronts and training to help them execute their creative vision. “Spaceworks is all about activating vacant spaces and helping people bring their small business dreams to life, making the creative class in Tacoma brighter, stronger and more vibrant,” Spaceworks spokesman Gabriel Brown explained. “So ‘Neon’ seems to go along with that theme really well. It’s about making the streets feel alive and having vibrant storefronts.” To date, Brown said Spaceworks has placed more than 75 small businesses and helped display the works of 125 artists. Applications for Spaceworks programs can be found online at www.spaceworkstacoma.com.

Local artists can apply to participate in the Artscapes program, which finds locations to publicly display their work. Artscapes installations include Angela Larsen’s mural, “We All Have Our Things,” currently on display at 935 Market St., and the Tollbooth Gallery, a kiosk at the corner of Broadway and South 11th Street that is billed as “the World’s (or at least the South Sound’s) Smallest Art Gallery.” Aspiring business owners can submit proposals to Spaceworks’ Creative Enterprise Program. Entrepreneurs that make the cut receive training in the basics of operating a small business; and, when available, they are directed toward affordable retail space. Typically, they don’t have to pay rent for the first half year as they find their footing. “Six months of free rent is a really big boost to help start a business,” Brown said. “And most of the businesses are putting in their own blood, sweat and tears to make the spaces look prettier.” Amongt Spaceworks' success stories are Grit City Grindhouse and Alchemy Skate, a skate shop and a non-profit skating facility that have shared a store front at 311 S. 7th St. since 2013. Among the most established businesses is Fabitat, a youth center, located at 1316 Martin Luther King Way, where kids learn to express themselves through music, dance and art. “It’s really a space for urban youth to come in and find a voice,” Brown said. “They do really great programming, and they’ve been going in that space for five years now.” Then there’s Tinkertopia, which graphic artist R.R. Anderson opened with his wife, Darcy, in 2013. “My wife and I were just looking for the next adventure,” he explained. “My graphic design firm that I worked for for 10 years went belly up. … We knew about stores like this around Portland and California, so we thought we would apply and just kind of see what happens.” Anderson described Tinkertopia as “a weird cross between a recycling center, a thrift shop and an arts supply store. People give us things knowing that an artist will get ahold of it. You

take your pizza pans and your forks and stuff to Good Will because you’re just passing that along; but if you have a material that’s kind too weird for Good Will, or it’s just a bunch of random parts … you bring it to us.” The Andersons applied to Spaceworks in 2012. They stocked up on supplies and underwent training on everything from writing a business plan, to using Quickbooks as they waited for a retail space to open up. Then the University of Washington Tacoma came calling, looking for a business to put in their storefront at 1914 Pacific Ave. “They thought it would be a good fit for the students, and they were worried about having a food court like the mall, a strip of just restaurants. Anderson said starting a business with the support of Spaceworks was a lot less stressful than it would have been on their own. “Spaceworks kind of prepares the creative types for the reality of opening a business,” he said. “There wasn’t a lot of pressure. We could focus on adjusting our business model and not have the extra stress of having to meet rent when we were just starting out. We were able to test our idea, to change different things and know it would be a success before the rent kicked in. If it didn’t work, you didn’t have a big lease signed. “Luckily for us, people really embraced our whole vision, and we got a pretty strong cluster of followers. I can’t imagine having to go back and work for somebody like a normal job again.”

SPACEWORKS NEON 6 p.m. June 11 Carpenters Building, 1322 Fawcett Ave. Single tickets are $30 to $125, $50 to $200 per couple www.spaceworksneon.com

THE THINGS WE LIKE ONE PRE-TALKIES TACOMA Catch a screening of the formerly lost silent film, “Eyes of the Totem,” at 3 p.m. Saturday, June 4 at the Washington State History Museum downtown. The movie was filmed in Tacoma in 1926 by H.C. Weaver Studios, a production company that was located on Titlow Beach; but it was feared lost for decades before a copy was discovered in 2014. It stars Miriam Hardy as a woman who moves to the area in search of a better life, a dream that is dashed when a sinister stranger murders her husband. Half the fun of watching, though, is catching glimpses of what life in Tacoma was like in the Roaring ‘20s; www.washingtonhistory.org.

TWO PING! PING! The Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show will take over the Greater Tacoma Convention

& Trade Center this weekend featuring 400 games on free play, pinball and arcade tournaments, speakers, a kid’s zone and more, from noon to 11:30 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. One-day passes are available for $10 to $30, and weekend passes for $30 to $65.

THREE LEMAY GALA The Wheels & Heels Annual Gala will take over LeMay – America’s Car Museum at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 4. Set in the stunning TitusWill Gallery, this is the museum’s largest fundraiser in support of its commitment to celebrating America’s love affair with the automobile. Leave your keys with the valet

as you rendezvous on the Anderson Plaza. Take a commemorative photo with a James Bond inspired Aston Martin, try your luck at roulette, or bid on a new 2016 BMW M4 GTS during the live auction.

The assortment of plants around the zoo “sets a stage for the animals,” said Jones, who joined zoo staff in 2005. Garden tours are free with paid admission or membership and begin at the Pacific Rim Plaza, just inside the zoo’s front gate on the first Sunday of every month; www.pdza.org.

See the wild world of artistic variety at TCC student art show By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Museum of the Week: Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum

There is still time left to get to the Art Gallery at Tacoma Community College and view the “2016 Student Art Exhibition.� The show is a big, tasty sampler of the wide variety of artwork that was produced by students that have circulated through TCC’s visual arts courses during the past year. The school’s art department offers classes in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, graphic design, sculpture and ceramics. What follows is a quickie tour of some of the show’s greatest hits. Among many examples of drawings, done in a variety of media, is Evan Sbory’s ink close-up of the face of a dog. Kyungbin Moon has a skilled hand and has contributed several noteworthy drawings like “Pont du Gard,� a delicate, color pencil drawing of Roman aqueducts and “Luscious Seattle,� a picture of the Seattle skyline at night with a cupcake in the extreme foreground. Julia Bakke’s crazy ink drawing, “Pineapple� features an unlikely cast of characters all done in a variety of pictorial styles. A panda is placing the titular pineapple atop a suit of armor to function as a head. A cluster of penguins stands at the feet of the pineapple-knight. A gnomish man bursts onto the scene riding astride a leaping fawn; he clings desperately to the fawn’s big ears. Among the painters, Jonathan Flemmer grabs scads of attention with his “Self Portrait in the Style of an Icon.� Here, the brash artist depicts himself life sized on a golden, gilded panel. He is dressed in silken robes like a biblical figure. Instead of a holy book, Flemmer pictures himself gazing at a tome called “The Big Butt Book,� with a goofy expression on his face. Another great painter is Denise Levine, whose acrylic painting of sliced jalapeno peppers is done with crisp precision. The same clarity of line and feel for design is present in Levine’s relief print “Beached Boat,� a scene of a rowboat on the textured sand of a beach. It is the printmaking students of instructor Marit Berg’s classes that generally produce some of the most interesting work in the TCC student shows. This one is no exception. In addition the Levine print, there are beautiful little things like Alissa McCormick’s “Family,� an etching showing a feral girl in cozy comfort with wolves. Jonathan Buchholtz produces an eye-catching image of a proud deer. The gallery walls are full of work by artists working in the digital realm. Johanna Brewer’s digital paintings, “Interstellar Self Portrait� and “Its Painful, Mother� are richly made images. The former presents the artist as if she has stepped out of a Japanese science fiction cinematic animation. The latter is a surreal thing that seems part portrait and part x-ray. In the world of photography, the show runs the gamut from low tech to high. At the low end of the spectrum is a thing from Kyle Dillehay’s photo class: a giant,

blue and white cyanotype that captures silhouettes of people, wheels, leaves and garden tools. There are poetic images like Reilly Gahm’s “Boathouse� and Biyao Chen’s “Experiment, Trees on Fire,� which is an eerie image of dark trees digitally enhanced so that they are edged in a red glow. Brookelynn Hiatt’s “Symmetry/ Woods,� is a blending of cultural motifs. A young, blonde woman is seated like a guru in a forest setting. She has the multiple arms of a Hindu goddess and is seated on a Mexican blanket whose colors show up brilliantly against the green background. One wall of the gallery is dedicated to examples of work by the graphic design students. There are various ideas for movie posters as well as samples of signage for the art exhibition, some of which were made into postcards and banners used to promote the show. Instructor Dillehay’s sculpture students have been busy, using all manner of materials to make things in sync with Dillehay’s freewheeling, use-everythingincluding-the-kitchen-sink philosophy of 3-D design. The most interesting (and least jarring) is the aforementioned Flemmer’s “Suburbia.� This piece consists of a series of small house-shapes (not unlike the little green plastic houses used for the game Monopoly, but these are more the size of a good throwing stone) lined up on pieces of tree bark. Jeanette Otis makes use of a medium called hydrostone to make stylistic, geometric figures that collectively go by the title “Shapes and Textures.� The potters and ceramic artists of TCC’s illustrious and storied ceramic arts department are well represented on a series of pedestals clustered in the center. This motley crew has produced everything from skittering, long-tailed critters and miniature buildings to traditional trays and vessels done in a variety of glazing and firing techniques. Margaret C. Kalton’s “Clam Teapot� looks as if it is ready to spout seawater from its extended appendage. The 2016 TCC Student Exhibition has plenty to see, but you only have till June 10 before the show ends.

Robert Fulton and the United States Navy May 1 to Aug. 31 View documents and materials of Robert Fulton (17651815), the man who made steam powered boats a viable proposition. Fulton was an inventor, engineer, and artist who brought steam boating from the experimental stage to commercial success. He also designed a system of inland waterways, a submarine, and a steam warship. He travelled in 1797 to Paris, where he proposed the idea of a submarine, the “Nautilus,� to be used in France’s war with Britain; it would creep under the hulls of British warships and leave a powder charge to be exploded later. The French government rejected the idea, however, as an atrocious and dishonorable way to fight. In 1800 he was able to build the “Nautilus� at his own expense; he conducted trials on the Seine and finally obtained government sanction for an attack, but wind and tide enabled two British ships to elude his slow vessel. In 1801 Fulton met Robert R. Livingston, a member of the committee that drafted the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Before becoming minister to France, Livingston had obtained a 20-year monopoly of steamboat navigation within the state of New York. The two men decided to share the expense of building a steamboat in Paris using Fulton’s design: a side paddlewheel, 66-foot boat, with an eight-horsepower engine of French design. Although the engine broke the hull, they were encouraged by success with another hull. Fulton ordered parts for a 24-horsepower engine from Boulton and Watt for a boat on the Hudson, and Livingston obtained an extension on his monopoly of steamboat navigation. Arriving in New York in December 1806, Fulton at once set to work supervising the construction of the steamboat that had been planned in Paris with Livingston. He also attempted to interest the U.S. government in a submarine, but his demonstration of it was a fiasco. By early August 1807, a 150-foot-long “Steamboat,� as Fulton called it, was ready for trials. The 150-mile trial run from New York to Albany required 32 hours (an average of almost 4.7 miles per hour). The passage was epic because sailing sloops required four days for the same trip. After building an engine house, raising the bulwark, and installing berths in the cabins of the now-renamed “North River Steamboat,� Fulton began commercial trips in September. He made three round trips fortnightly between New York and Albany, carrying passengers and light freight. Problems, however, remained: the mechanical difficulties, for example, and the jealous sloop boat men, who through “inadvertence� would ram the unprotected paddlewheels of their new rivals. During the first winter season he stiffened and widened the hull, replaced the cast-iron crankshaft with a forging, fitted guards over the wheels, and improved passenger accommodations. These modifications made it a different boat, which was registered in 1808 as the “North River Steamboat of Clermont,� soon reduced to “Clermont� by the press. Fulton was a member of the 1812 commission that recommended building the Erie Canal. With the English blockade the same year, he insisted that a mobile floating gun platform be built–the world’s first steam warship–to protect New York Harbor against the British fleet. The “Demologos,� or “Fulton,� as the ship was alternately called, incorporated new and novel ideas: two parallel hulls, with paddlewheel between; the steam engine in one hull, and boilers and stacks in the other. It weighed 2,745 displacement tons and measured 156 feet in length; a slow vessel, its speed did not exceed 6 knots. Launched in October 1814, the heavily gunned and armored steamship underwent successful sea trials but was never used in combat.

DANCE LESSON. Jess Alla (left, as Stephanie) and Eileen Dolan (as

Sharice) star in Working Class Theatre Northwest's production of Joshua Conkel's "The Sluts of Sutton Drive." By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

If you’re looking for something completely different from the usual category of community theater fare, then the Working Class Theatre Northwest (WCTNW) might just have what you’re looking for. This gritty, energetic, local theatrical troupe is currently running a production of a play called “The Sluts of Sutton Drive,” by playwright Joshua Conkel. Directed by Tom Sanders, “Sluts” is a dark, rather disturbing comedy that hammers away against the contemporary mixed messages between sexuality and sexism. There is a hefty dose of lower middle class economic desperation as well as commentary on addiction, consumerism, and the dead-end nature of the limited range of identity options that many people are pressed into. The play is like a mangled, bloody mash-up of Kafka, William Burroughs’ “Naked Lunch,” and “Thelma and Louise.” The story revolves around Stephanie Schwartz (played by Jess Alla), a suburban woman whose alcoholic husband killed himself and left her with the house and an adolescent son, Jayden (played by Luke Amundson). Stephanie’s boyfriend Will (Aaron Bredlau) is a biker who works at the local pantyhose factory. Stephanie’s best friend Sharice (Eileen Dolan) is a pusher of contemporary views of sex and “womanhood” onto Stephanie. Everyone seems to be pushing Stephanie into the latest ideal of womanhood, without regard for Stephanie’s own inclinations. There is also a mailman (Karter Duff) that is stalking Stephanie. Stephanie is a sensitive soul that has been ridi-

culed and abused and was unable to find any other option than the standard one of suburban wife and mother. We find Stephanie as a bit of a wreck, unable to pay the bills, or cope with a son who is an entitled, adolescent blob on his way to perpetuating the sort of sexist attitudes and ignorance that she detests. Further, Stephanie is saddled with a biker boyfriend that she doesn’t really like. She has also begun to develop an unhealthy fondness for the cleaning products that she uses to keep her house spiffy. On top of this, there is a rapist on the loose in the neighborhood and Stephanie keeps getting obscene phone calls. As things unfold, blood spills, body parts get tossed around and the living room couch turns out to be a portal to hell. There are bombs, hallucinations, and a synchronized dance featuring Stephanie and Sharice in their wedding gowns that have been decorated with magic marker. The play evokes laughter at the same time as it makes one want to go out and join the nearest monastery as soon as it is over. There is so much about it all that makes the skin crawl. It is a stark examination of the social roles that so many people are steered into, like factoryfarmed animals guided to the slaughterhouse. Alla and Dolan put on stellar performances as the two main charac-

ters of the show. Bredlau, Amundson and Duff are also great in presenting their uniquely disturbing characters. Lighting and sound are especially well done in evoking a number of effects. WCTNW does not have a permanent home. “Sluts” is being performed at the 3rd floor ballroom of 733 Commerce St. Sitting in the space is like going to some secret, small theater in New York back in the 1970s. It is an adventure just getting to this wonderfully intimate space, but well worth the effort. Founded in 2013, WCTNW’s mission is to provide and encourage an inexpensive, high-quality theatre experience that is grounded in the diverse culture of Tacoma. Price of admission is by donation ($15 is suggested). Remaining performances are set for June 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11 at 8 p.m. This is not a play for the kiddy winkies. For those looking for something gritty, funny, challenging and thought provoking that is not your run of the mill community theatre fare, get out there and support this dynamic theater.

Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, “Avenue Q” is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) You might have an unrealistic view of a person or situation, particularly early in the week when you could be tempted to put someone on a pedestal. However, as of Friday you may come to think very differently when a frustrating blend of energies brings out the worst in you or perhaps the other person. Conversation may not be enough to improve the situation between you, but you might be able to get somewhere if you use facts as bargaining chips.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) If you’re too easygoing this week, you could end up being taken advantage of and feeling exhausted as a result. But if you’re stubborn, you might limit the number of opportunities open to you. In order to make headway, you’d be well advised to find the middle way. Saturday looks like it will be a much more positive, upbeat day, with a New Moon in lively Gemini bringing the potential for a sizzling encounter. It could have very pleasing consequences!

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Your selfesteem could be up one minute and down the next, which might leave you feeling a little bit insecure. However, if you are to make the most of the days ahead, you’ll need to stand firm with regard to your principles and values. On another note, you may not have too much luck if you were hoping to take out a loan or a line of credit. In fact, you’d be better off waiting another week or so before you apply.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You could be tempted to splurge on pleasure plans, social events, and good times with friends. However, you’ll do best if you can limit the amount you spend. Uncomfortable aspects over the week ahead suggest that the less you splurge, the easier things will be for you. This doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy yourself. You just won’t be able to choose the pricier options. There’s no guarantee they’d be more fun anyway, so relax and enjoy what you can afford.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You could find yourself at the mercy of forces that knock you off center. Early in the week, links to dreamy Neptune could see you aiming for the unattainable regarding career matters. But with both Venus and the Sun facing off with Saturn, you could come down to earth with a bump if someone decides to disillusion you. If you want to make progress, use the New Moon in your sign on Saturday to get sound advice and come up with a practical plan. CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) With a focus on a more cloistered sector of your chart, you might be content to keep to yourself and enjoy a little “me” time. But this may not be possible in practice, as responsibilities could surface, particularly in the latter part of the week. If you’d hoped to relax and unwind, you could find that you’re required to take on a lot of work, perhaps on short notice. The pressure seems to be on. You’ll need to pace yourself if you’re to get through this. LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) As much as you’d like everything to be perfect, it may not be the case in the days ahead. Dream all you like, but you might have to face up to demands that require a response. It’s possible you’re putting pressure on yourself when it isn’t really necessary. Instead of trying to tackle everything, consider delegating some tasks so your week is more manageable. The New Moon on Saturday encourages you to be bold and expand your social horizons. VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) There are opportunities for some delightful dates and the option of romance, but you’ll also be faced with family responsibilities that could be rather demanding. If you’d hoped to make progress with a goal or key ambition, this might not happen over the days ahead. In fact, you may need to pour your energies into resolving a situation at home that has dragged on for some time. You may not heal it completely, but you can make a good start.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) You could be an enigma to yourself this week, as a complex blend of energies leaves you feeling a tad confused and insecure. Your way of coping with this may be to batten down the hatches and erect sturdy defenses. Will this help you? It isn’t very likely. What might be more appropriate is to have a chat with someone you trust. Even if this leaves you feeling vulnerable, a good talk could do you a world of good.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Although you could be faced with demands that leave you feeling overwhelmed, you’re still master of your ship of destiny. You don’t have to do everything that’s asked of you, particularly during the latter part of the week. If it seems like the pressure is on, you have the option of negotiating more time or delegating where possible. With Venus now dancing through your home and family sector, taking time out for a pampering session might help restore your vitality.

We’ve hidden 12 Tacoma Weekly-themed words in this word search. How many can you find? Not sure what you’re looking for? Head over to B5 for the complete word list.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) This is one week when taking time out for yourself could be essential. With your ruler Saturn hiding in a more private part of your chart, you could find that being alone gives you time to think and sort out any issues you’ve been battling. You’d be wise not to give yourself a hectic schedule but to cut back where possible, even if others are making demands on you. The New Moon on Saturday could be a call to revise your schedule and make it more manageable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) You might feel confused by someone’s attitude, particularly if you’ve gone out of your way to help or befriend the person.Try not to take it personally.There’s a good chance he or she has issues to contend with. Do your own thing for now. When this person is ready to connect with you again, you’ll get a call - but you probably won’t if you make a big deal out of it. Saturday’s New Moon could bring fresh romantic options your way if you’re open to them.

LOVELY LYRIC! Featured Pet Lyric (#A504517) is a 5-year-old beautiful petite orange tabby. Lyric believes that catnip is magic, and has a cute and silly way of showing you she’s really interested in it. She does this adorable head turn, slides her body along her blanket, and then nuzzles her nose into her toy. Lyric would enjoy a companion who wants to lovingly give her scratches behind her ears all the way down her back. If she can have room to roam and choose her favorite spots with catnip surprises, she’ll purr to her heart’s content. While she is a tad shy right now, she’s definitely blossoming each day. We don’t know her experience with children or dogs, and Lyric is an indoor cat who would do best with a slow introduction. Meet her at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital located at 401 Fawcett Avenue in Tacoma. More information can be found at www.metvetpets.com.
