Save Tacoma Water volunteers Donna Walters, Billie Blattler, Sally Radford, Judt Shrode, Linda Fortune and Ron Morrison will continue to gather signatures to put measures on future ballots that call for public votes on all developments that would use more than a million gallons of water a day despite the port’s lawsuit to stop them.

If Mary Krauszer had the time, she’d almost certainly have a secret identity. Dressed in a businesswoman’s blazer and slacks, the 25-year-old could pass as a young, fresh-faced office worker, which she is not. Much of what she is, she credits to growing up in Alaska, where men are men, winters are arctic and the women… Well, let Krauszer say it. “I’m a sturdy breed,” she said. “I’m from Alaska.” Add independence and a good dose of determination and you get a woman who earned her biology degree at the University of Puget Sound. Krauszer then worked with education and outreach programs with the Slater Museum of Natural History and the Pacific Science Center’s camp for children. Though she’d never seen a game, let alone played one, Krauszer signed up for women’s roller derby in Tacoma two years ago.

Investors, developers and business boosters saw a snapshot last week of things to come in Tacoma at a city-sponsored showcase that highlighted the $1 billion worth of construction projects in the works around the city. The “Downtown Tacoma Economic Development Showcase” at LeMay: America’s Car Museum drew about 250 people from around Puget Sound as well as a delegation from South Korea. The gathering heard about the increase in development and investor activity that is coming to Tacoma as companies get priced, or crowed out of Seattle and California’s Silicon Valley. They find “fresh fields” of talent and opportunity Tacoma and the rest of Pierce County.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

43rd and South K St. 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.

Bulletin Board CITY OF TACOMA SURVEYING 9,200 LOCAL BUSINESSES In support of the City Council’s continued efforts to help Tacoma’s businesses succeed, the City of Tacoma’s Community and Economic Development Department is conducting an online survey of all local businesses to learn what's working, what isn't, and how City staff can be of assistance. “This week, our 9,200 Tacoma businesses will receive a letter regarding this survey from Mayor Marilyn Strickland,” said Community and Economic Development Department Director Ricardo Noguera. “We hope to hear from every single one of them, as this survey will help inform how we move forward in support of Tacoma’s business community, to ensure that it continues to thrive.” The survey will be conducted by Elway Research, Inc., and responses will be kept anonymous and confidential. A few weeks after the survey period ends, results will be tallied by Elway Research, Inc. and an analysis will be made available to the public. Questions, or requests for additional information, can be emailed to survey@cityoftacoma.org. ALL INVITED TO INTERFAITH DIALOG ON PEACE BUILDING The Tacoma Buddhist Temple, in partnership with Associated Ministries, will host an interfaith dialog on peace building on June 11 at 1 p.m. This is a free public event and is open to all members of the Tacoma community. It is hoped that this event will help people of faith in Tacoma think about what they can do to contribute to peace here, and in the wider world. Panelists include Joshua Christy (Baha’i Faith Tacoma), Reverend Joseph Hickey-Tiernan (Church of the Holy Spirit, Vashon Island), Professor Turan Kayaoglu (University of Washington-Tacoma), and Reverend Kojo Kakihara (Tacoma Buddhist Temple). The event will be moderated by Dr. Amanda Feller, a professor of communication at Pacific Lutheran University who specializes in dialog and conflict resolution. Asked why he wanted to hold this event at his temple, Reverend Kakihara explains, “Depending on how we use it, religion can become a barrier that separates us from others, but I believe that religion enables us to accept different people, as well as bring happiness and peace to their and our lives. I hope that through this event we are all able to deepen our understanding of our own religions and the religions of others in order to sense the interconnectedness of life.” Dr. Erik Hammerstrom, another of the event’s organizers, says, “There is a tendency to over-emphasize religion’s role in conflict in the world. While conflict is certainly one part of the history of religion, it is also important for religious people to affirm and uplift the many contributions that religion has made, and can continue to make, to building peace at the local and global levels.” Hammerstrom is a professor of religion at Pacific Lutheran University and a member of the Tacoma Buddhist Temple’s Buddhist Education Committee.

Detectives say he and six other teens DAVID ROSE shot and killed Lorenzo Parks on May 18 during an attempted armed robbery in the 12700 block of Pacific Avenue in Parkland. "We have six of them in custody," said Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer.

MAN SENTENCED TO 47 YEARS FOR LINCOLN DISTRICT MURDER Vernon Curry, Jr., 34, was sentenced June 3 to more than 47 years in prison for the murder of Michael Ward in the Lincoln District of Tacoma in September of 2014. Following a three weeklong trial in May, a jury convicted Vernon Curry, Jr. of first degree murder. The judge heard statements in court by the family of Michael Ward, and reviewed letters from both the victim’s family and the defendant’s family. The judge agreed with the prosecution on the high end of the sentencing range in addition to a 120month weapons enhancement for a total of 570 months. At the sentencing hearing, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jesse Williams, called the crime a “slow burn,” instead of a crime committed in the heat of the moment. Prosecuting Attorney Mark Lindquist

said, “Deputy Prosecuting attorneys Jesse Williams and Neil Horibe put together a strong case on a senseless murder, and we’re pleased to see the defendant receive the functional equivalent of a life sentence.” Curry, Jr. shot and killed the victim, Michael Ward shortly after 4 a.m. on Sept. 7, 2014. Ward

was seated in his brown Cadillac outside an after hours nightclub when the defendant approached the passenger side of the vehicle and fired multiple shots into the vehicle, hitting him several times. The defendant was wearing all black and was recorded by nearby surveillance cameras pulling a black mask over his head

as he approached Ward’s vehicle. After the shots were fired, the defendant was seen fleeing the scene on foot. Michael Ward died shortly afterward as a result of the gunshot wounds. Tacoma Police arrested Curry, Jr. that same morning when he returned to the area shortly after the shooting.

WHAT A TANGLED WEB ABOUT WATER Let’s get this straight. The Port of Tacoma, Economic Development Board of Tacoma-Pierce County and the TacomaPierce County Chamber filed a lawsuit in Pierce County Superior Court on June 6 to stop Save Tacoma Water from gathering signatures for two initiatives that would call for public votes on projects that would use more than a million gallons of water a day. That’s a lot of water. For a sense of scale, only one of the top 10 current customers of Tacoma Water uses more than that amount. The former Simpson mill, now owned by WestRock, reportedly uses 15.52 million gallons of water each day. The initiatives would only add a step for mega projects by requiring them to make their case that the benefits in jobs outweigh the large draw on water supplies. The business boosters behind the lawsuit against the residents they serve fear that such a public vote would stifle economic growth in the city by creating an anti-business environment and they also believe that such a requirement would violate state and federal law. Maybe the initiatives would violate established law. But they aren’t law yet. Save Tacoma Water simply wants Tacoma voters to see the issue on future ballots to potentially become law. The City of Tacoma is a defendant in the lawsuit for allowing the signature gathering to even occur – so it is being sued by agencies that city taxpayers partially fund and with which it has interwoven boards of directors. The city will be defending itself against the suit while also claiming that the initiatives are flawed and should be stopped before a vote even occurs. Sure, legal opinions about the limits of citizen initiatives vary widely. State laws on the process and requirements are broadly written and create vague areas. But the vagueness is by design. The wording allows for the broadest interpretation of a right that residents have regarding their government and their laws. That fact, however, also brings confusion and the possibility of poorly – and potentially overreaching – laws. Those should be corrected, and that means spending time in court to sort everything out. That’s the process. But suing a group of volunteers to stop them from gathering signatures so that residents could then exercise their voting rights on proposed changes to laws is just wrong. People should not be silenced by the governments that they elected to serve them. And they most certainly shouldn’t be asked to pay for the legal fees their governments spent using tax dollars to sue them, as called for in the lawsuit. That’s just petty, and it’s clearly meant to stop future dissent. The city, port and business groups have routinely called for more discussion and more community input on their decisions, be they about sick leave, marijuana rules, minimum wage and the future of the tideflats. They not only have done little to start those talks regarding the future of Tacoma’s natural resources, but are now suing many of those same residents who see water as a necessity rather than just a money maker. The underlying claim in this case is that the people who sign initiatives aren’t informed enough to make such big decisions regarding the pros and cons of mega projects. Under this line of thinking, Tacoma voters are wise enough to elect these public officials into office, but too stupid to understand the balancing act between creating jobs and protecting a precious natural resource. Well, maybe they should try living without water and see how precious their jobs are. Then voters should take away those very jobs.

Combining hoPe, humAn SPirit, CreAtivity, And Community to AddreSS homeleSSneSS By P. Mark Pereboom I have sat down several times over the last month to write this column. My goal is to be positive and hopeful, but the news that came out on April 30 has been difficult to absorb. The Pierce County Point in Time Count was held on Jan. 29, and the report indicated that 1,762 people were counted as homeless, and 494 of those were completely unsheltered. This is a 37 percent increase in overall homelessness and a 46 percent increase in those who are unsheltered from the count last year; other communities in our state grew by roughly 20 percent. Over the past year, MDC has participated in several community conversations regarding homelessness. MDC prides itself on finding solutions for complex situations impacting individuals, families, and the community. Yet, we too are challenged with the best way to move forward with short-term help, without losing site of long-term permanent solutions. The Metropolitan Development Council Board of Directors has recognized this dramatic increase, and has committed to focusing services at the intersection of health and housing for those individuals with the most complex needs. We have been developing new services for this population over the past two years. We are ready to scale the best practice models we already employ, but the need outpaces the funding. At the last of several community conversations on homelessness, as well as two on mental health, nothing new

“Combining hope, the human spirit, creativity and community we can solve the homelessness challenge and make a better community for all of us.�

– mark Pereboom

has been offered. Discussions always come around to studying the one-tenth of one percent sales tax for mental health and substance use disorders. Pierce County is the only urban county, and the only one along the Interstate-5 corridor, that has not implemented this tax. The challenge is that it takes a super majority at the Pierce County Council to pass this at the council. The City of Tacoma implemented a similar citywide tax three years ago, and the impact has been significant. Two apartment complexes were completed, leveraging these dollars with other funding; mental health and substance use disorder clinics co-located within the homeless shelters were developed, and many other critical services have been supported by this tax. Based on the growth rate last year, approximately 1.2 additional people become homeless every day in Pierce County. Since the Pierce County Council started studying the shortcomings in mental health services in our county, another 100 people likely are surviving on the streets. These are not just numbers. These are individuals who have significant health issues – chronic diseases, substance use disorder, mental health disorder, poor nutrition. As a result of these health challenges, people on average have a life expectancy 20 years shorter than people who have

housing. Last year, two of our tenants who had been chronically homeless for years and found housing at the Randall Townsend Apartments died after less than a year of having a home. They died from natural causes, if you can call living in a tent with no medical care, untreated mental health and substance use disorder for years natural. I refuse to see 1,762 as a number. Those 1,762 people are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, and friends. These are people that have not been dealt a fair shake. Yes, they may have behaviors that we do not like, for many the traumas they have incurred throughout their lives have led to their current situation. The one thing I have learned at MDC is that those experiencing homelessness still have hope. Combining hope, the human spirit, creativity and community we can solve the homelessness challenge and make a better community for all of us. If you have thoughts about how our community can help stem the rising tide of homelessness, please give me a call at (253) 284-9079 or email me at impact@ mdc-hope.org. P.

By Tom H. Hastings I teach and write in the field of Peace and Conflict Studies, with a special focus on strategic nonviolence. It is a rich field, growing in its scholarship and its widespread usage. I’m so enthused by this – the more we wage our conflicts with nonviolence the lower the costs. Counting the costs of conflict, we normally think of blood and treasure, of casualties and expense. We are slowly beginning to also count other costs, including our environment, our relationships, our civil rights, our human rights, our metrics of democracy, and more. Nonviolence is superior to violence in every way if we read the research and consider all the costs. Nonviolence can fail, of course, and in the most robust of struggles – trying to overthrow a dictator, for example – nonviolent struggle only works about 53 percent of the time. Of course violent insurgency only succeeds 26 percent of the time, about half as often as does nonviolence. This is disturbing to those who define revolution as violent. I hope they get over it. Wake up and smell the flowers instead of the cordite... One secret to nonviolent success is communication. When we are quiet, the injustices we see or suffer are allowed to continue. When we are aggressive – either violent or demeaning, threatening, and insulting – that

strengthens the resolve of the opponent and progress is unlikely. The best path to victory is assertion – visualize a thin bright line between you and the oppressor. Shrink back from the line and nothing changes. Charge over the line and all defenses spring into counter-aggression, counterattack. But go up to the line with insistent civil assertion, creative and resilient, and your chances for winning your objectives are radically increased. These principles are basic, but ignored all too often, as we see in many conflicts domestic and transnational, in families and workplaces, in neighborhoods and in towns, in regions and states. The destructive, adversarial conflicts that result are often heartbreaking to observe. From a belligerent North Korean dictator to a misogynist Donald Trump, the results are not impressive. Ruling over others is a poor path to sustainable gains and doing so in an aggressive manner will only generate pushback. If that resistance is civil but insistent, assertive but

not aggressive, it can achieve what no one thought possible. If I had predicted publicly in 1985 that the Philippines would see Marcos deposed without a single fired shot, that the Berlin Wall would fall in a massive nonviolent uprising, that Nelson Mandela would be liberated and apartheid would end without a widely predicted bloodbath, that Pinochet would fall in Chile to mass nonviolent power, and that Slobodan Milosevic would create horrific wars in the Balkans but would be deposed by nonviolence, I might have been diagnosed as delusional. These cases and 1,000 more are chronicled in a Swarthmore database that is growing constantly. We are humans – we have great big brains that are hard-wired for all possible responses, from violent to nonviolent, which makes us the unique species neurologically capable of infinite, illimitable choice. Let’s be wise about it. Dr. Tom H. Hastings is Founding Director of PeaceVoice.

LYLA’S ROOM NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS

New children’s consignment shop brings something new to downtown Puyallup By William Manzanares william@tacomaweekly.com

A

fact of life that all new parents soon learn is that kids grow out of clothes – quickly. So what do you do when your little one’s collection of too-small sizes starts to pile up? You can give things away to friends and family – if you just happen to know someone with a child that fits the size and gender of the clothes you have to give them. Another option is to pack it all away in a box and shove it in the closet until a better idea comes along. Well, a better idea has come along and its name is Lyla’s Room. Located at 301 3rd St. SE in downtown Puyallup, Lyla’s Room is a children’s consignment shop that sells everything from children’s clothes (newborn up to size 16), maternity clothes (extra small to extra large) and toys, to books, children’s furniture and dĂŠcor. May 21 was the grand opening and the shop is up and running now, ready for customers to come in to buy or consign – or both. Friends Wahayla McCloud and Maria Colt co-own Lyla’s Room. McCloud said opening her own business was a natural progression from the business courses she’s taken at Pacific Lutheran University and Tacoma Community College. “I wanted to open (Lyla’s Room) because I wanted to be a business owner. I’ve always wanted to,â€? she said. When she approached Colt with the idea of joining in, Colt was all for it.

“I said you’ll never know if you don’t take the risk,� Colt said. Both of these former stay-at-home moms know just what it’s like to have an excess of children’s clothes their babies can no longer wear. “I had a ton of clothes,� McCloud said. “(My daughter) had probably six bags of clothes that she grew out of. We have one whole half-rack that were all her clothes.� They chose downtown Puyallup for their business location in order to bring something to the city that wasn’t there before. “There’s no store like this here,� McCloud said. “Whenever I was shopping for my daughter, the only places I had were two places in Tacoma or someplace super far away. That’s when I said I needed to open a store in downtown Puyallup. I kept looking until I found a good spot – being patient and waiting and I found a good one.� For those interested in bring clothes in for consignment, Lyla’s Room offers two options: take 40 percent of in-store credit for what each item sells for or take 30 percent in cash after the sale. Consignments are accepted on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but if you notify McCloud or Colt in advance they will consider accommodating another day by appointment. Contact them via the Lyla’s Room Facebook page. Lyla’s Room is open from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.

“We’re on their radar now,� said TacomaPierce County Economic Development board President and CEO Bruce Kendall. The three-hour presentation spanned eight presenters speaking on the breadth of those opportunities that range from the area’s quality of life, its natural beauty and the brain pool of local workers to its stock of historical buildings that are ready for new lives in the modern world and Tacoma’s standing as an international city with deep water port facilities. The seeds of Tacoma’s downtown Renaissance that took root in the late 1990s have begun to flower. Nightclubs, breweries and new or expanded museums blossomed in recent years. That boutique caused the thirst for downtown residential options. Downtown residential vacancy rates hover at just 3 percent, for example. That demand brought a rise of apartments and condominiums that continue to mushroom around the city. Notable projects among them are the Grand on Broadway, the Napolean Apartments and Rainier Residences. Chief among them is the Point Ruston mixed use development along the Tacoma-Ruston waterfront that rose from the ashes of the former Asarco Smelter plant site. Point Ruston developer, MC Construction’s managing partner Loren Cohen, said the demand for downtown living options has primed Tacoma for “lift off.� The rise of urban living caused a need for more local educational opportunities, prompting new programs and public-private partnerships involving University of Puget Sound, Pacific University as well as the University of Washington Tacoma and its Institute of Technology. The deepening pool of locally educated urban dwellers has created a rise for local jobs that was answered by startups and pioneer-spirited tech firms from California that match the entrepreneurial spirit of Tacomans. Among those firms is IID, a Tacomabased cyber security firm that sold to Infoblox in February for $45 million. IID founder Lars Harvey, who is now vice president of Infoblox, said Tacoma topped the list of locations for the firm because of its quality of life, educated pool of tech workers and its lower-thanCalifornia prices. Other firms will follow since tech firms want to locate around each other to play off each others talents and workforces, making Tacoma a “fishing hole no one else has found yet.� Alongside the tech sector is an equally rising boom in firms seeking historical buildings to use for modern uses, from

mAking A Difference. Airman Bryson Paige said he and other HSM-

48 sailors are proud to be part of a warfighting team that readily defends America at all times.

A 2011 Bates Technical College High School graduate and Tacoma native is serving with a U.S. Navy helicopter squadron that flies the Navy’s newest and most technologically-advanced helicopter. Airman Bryson Paige is an aviation structural electrician with the “Vipers� of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 48, a Mayport, Fla.-based squadron that operates the Navy’s next generation submarine hunter and Anti-Surface Warfare helicopter, the MH-60R Seahawk. Each helicopter is nearly 65 feet long, may weigh up to 23,500 pounds (max gross) and can travel over 120 miles per hour for nearly 320 miles on a tank of gas. As an aviation structural electrician, Paige is responsible for electrical and mechanical components associated with the MH-60Rs. “I enjoy the challenge of keeping the electrical and mechanical components operational for our mission,� said Paige. According to Navy officials, the MH-60R is the most capable multi-mission helicopter available in the world today. It is used for a variety of missions, including hunting and tracking enemy submarines, attacking enemy ships, search and rescue, drug interdiction, delivering supplies and supporting the Navy’s special operations forces. It is replacing the Navy’s older helicopters because of its greater versatility and more advanced weapon systems. Paige said he and other HSM-48 sailors are proud to be part of a warfighting team that readily defends America at all times.

“HSM-48 is a very tight-knit community,� said Paige. “It has a family-oriented atmosphere where everyone takes care of each other both on and off duty.� Sailors’ jobs are highly varied within the squadron. Approximately 270 Navy men and women are assigned and keep all parts of the squadron running smoothly. This includes everything from maintaining helicopter airframes and engines, to processing paperwork, handling weapons and flying the aircraft. “The thing I love the most about being a part of this great organization are the people,� said Cmdr. Jeff Hill, HSM-48’s Commanding Officer. “The level of commitment and professionalism by every member of Viper Nation is second to none. But more importantly, they represent what’s best about our nation and the generation of Americans dedicating their lives to something bigger - dedicating themselves to making a difference. Because at the end of the day, that’s what we do in Viper Nation and it’s what we do in the Navy – we make a difference.� Serving in the Navy, Paige is learning about being a more respectable leader, sailor and person through handling numerous responsibilities. "Not only has it taught me better self-discipline, but the morals and values instilled in me from serving in the Navy has definitely made me a better overall person,� added Paige.

office and residential developments to hotel and entertainment venues. The most notable among the current crop of “adaptive reuseâ€? projects is the former Elks Lodge that Portland-based destination hotel developer McMenamins has underway in downtown Tacoma. The company has three historians on staff who research the building’s history through archive diving and interviews to gain ideas for design features to incorporate into a building’s restoration. “There is more to stuff than money things,â€? McMenamins CEO Mike McMenamin said. “There is so much more than that, and that’s where it’s at.â€? He noted that research in libraries and archives only take the historical storytelling so far, however; only through face-to-face talks and tours does the greatest personal stories come to the surface. “Things start coming out of the woodwork,â€? he said. “It all starts pouring out. It’s fantastic stuff.â€? Those stories then find their ways into the design features of McMenamin brewpub, hotels and restaurants that then become anchor destinations. The Elks Lodge site promises to be no different. Oh, and McMenamin is in talks to do likewise with the city-owned Old City Hall across the street, making Tacoma the eventual home of two destination hotel and entertainment venues under the company’s signature flair for historical reuse. The combination of business and residential activity is springboarding from the lull of the Great Recession and is now in full-on boomtown mode, Tacoma’s Business Development Manager Elly Walkowiak said. She noted that there are $1 billion worth of projects that are in some form of development around the city. Two projects alone – a 300-room hotel linked to the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center and a town center on Tacoma’s hillside – total $300 million in new development. Yet more projects will come when key projects, such as the Johnny’s Dock, the Haub “super blockâ€? and the Washington Building, find investors to finance future developments. Gone are the days when Tacoma was the otherwise invisible high schooler hanging out in the smoking section, Mayor Marilyn Strickland said during her remarks at the showcase. It’s class reunion time, and she is turning heads. “That’s Tacoma?â€? she said. “She looks great.â€? The city is now embracing the once disparaging “gritty cityâ€? label Tacoma has as an asset rather than an insult. Tacomans are pioneering, entrepreneurial and welcoming people, and that has drawn international notice and investment. “I’m not one of those mayors who sees ‘gritty’ as a negative,â€? Strickland said. “Grit is good ‌ It is part of our DNA.â€?

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.

SALISH CANCER CENTER A place where healing begins On April 7, 2015, the ribbon was officially cut at the grand opening of the Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Housed in the Puyallup Tribal Integrative Medicine building in Fife, SCC is a non-profit venture of the Puyallup Tribe and is the first tribally-owned cancer center in Indian Country and the United States. This state-of-the art facility combines conventional cancer treatment (chemotherapy) and integrative oncology (naturopathic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Native healers and acupuncture) to create a truly modern oncology practice. As the indigenous keepers of the Puyallup Tribe Indian Reservation, the Puyallup Tribe has a strong ancestral bond with nature and creation, and this is reflected in the type of care SCC patients receive – focusing on the mind, body, and spirit using lifestyle, nutrition and botanical medicine that blends quite well with modern oncology practices and produces a foundation for providing innovative cancer treatment. At the ribbon cutting, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee praised Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud and the entire Tribal Council for making their vision for SCC a reality. “This is such a delightful day, not just for the Puyallup Nation, but for the state of Washington, because this is a center that is going to embrace health for the entire state of Washington and the Puyallup Nation all at the same time,” he said. “To me, it is a real achieve-

ment to know that the first tribally-owned and operated oncology center in the United States is right here in the Puyallup Nation. This is something for the whole state of Washington to be very proud of.” The SCC care team is delighted to have medical oncologist Dr. Eiko Klimant on board as medical director, as he joined the team just this year. This spring, Dr. Krisstina Gowin, medical oncologist from Mayo Clinic in Arizona, will also be joining the SCC care team. “My goal is to create a meaningful experience for the patient and their caregivers, which includes creating conditions and finding therapies to help assure the best possible outcome for each individual patient,” Dr. Klimant said.

Puyallup Tribal Member David Duenas offered up a Sundance song of sacrifice and honor at the Salish Cancer Center ribbon cutting.

Dr. Klimant was most recently the Medical Director of Integrative Oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia. He is board certified in medical oncology and internal medicine, as well as hospice, palliative medicine and integrative medicine. He has extensive clinical experience in the management of pancreatic, breast, lung and brain cancers. Dr. Klimant is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Physicians and the Society for Integrative Oncology. He is fluent in English, German and French. At SCC, Dr. Klimant works within a multidisciplinary team to provide patient-centered cancer care. “The integrative care model puts the patient at the center. Patients’ needs are addressed on multiple levels, including innovative scientific cancer treatment, spiritual and psychological support, naturopathic medicine and an individualized nutritional program,” he said. While a cancer diagnosis can be the most frightening thing a person has to face and is often all consuming for patients and their care providers, SCC stands as a mighty protector and healer for those who have been told there is nothing more that can be done. “It’s a battle against this disease, only now our warriors are our doctors, nurses, lab technicians and people who are in the health profession world,” said Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud. “Our warriors are going to be armed with the best medicine that can be, whether it exists now or down the road. This is not about making money – this is a non-profit organization that’s dedicated to the saving of lives.” Learn more at www.SalishCancerCenter.com.

Weyerhaeuser and Cheney both said the statistics speak for themselves when it comes to providing mental health services in Washington State and in Pierce County – Washington State ranks 48 out of 50 states for in-patient capacity. Nationwide, on average there are 26.1 in-patient beds per 100,000 people. In the state of Washington, there is an average 8.3 beds per 100,000 people and Pierce County has 2.8 beds per 100,000 for acute inpatient care. “Our capacity is one of the worst in the state and one of the worst in the country,� Weyerhaeuser said. Cheney said he was astonished to learn of these facts. “I didn’t know that much about mental health until I got involved in this, but I listened to the facts and was stunned by them,� he said. “What put me over top was the Pierce County Sheriff (coalition member Paul Pastor) telling us how they end up in jail or in the emergency room and there should be a better answer for our citizens here. All of us have known family or friends with a mental health issue. It became evident to me that this is a need. It may not be the end all, but it will be a tremendous addition. We’re at the bottom of barrel here. � Pastor said that recent state cuts in mental health spending not only impact the safety of communities, but also the safety of police officers and jail personnel. “We encounter many of them committing some type of minor property or public order crime and so, with lack of other facilities, we end up putting them in jail. We should be able to take most of these people to a mental hospital, but cuts in mental health funding mean that there are fewer and fewer places to take them even if they are co-operative,� Pastor said. “We’re not addressing

them and we’re pretending that we’re saving money by defunding mental health services at the state level ,when in fact we’re costing enormous amounts of money being ineffective at local level. This is the real cost of saving money on mental health. The problem is that jails are simply not equipped to treat or process people who are seriously mentally ill and who commit minor offenses. Jails are not mental hospitals.� The new behavioral health hospital will greatly improve the number of adult in-patient beds available to the South Sound community to approximately 16.3 beds per 100,000 people. It will also provide new employment opportunities for more than 40 full-time construction, fabrication and design positions for the duration of construction and for more than 300 hospital workers once it is built. “Pierce County has an extreme need for more psychiatric beds and CHI Franciscan Health believes a new psychiatric hospital will ensure those in Pierce and South King counties with mental illness will receive the evaluation and care they need in the appropriate setting,� said Anne McBride, executive, Behavior Health service line, CHI Franciscan Health. “It will also improve conditions in our local emergency rooms by reducing overcrowding and wait times, and increasing safety for both patients and staff.� With Western State Hospital being a long-term care facility, once in operation the new psychiatric hospital will be working closely with Western State. “It will be providing both voluntary and involuntary care for people who need hospitalization up to 14 days is what’s envisioned,� Weyerhaeuser said.

health services that will be offered to the community through these two hospitals, MultiCare will also be converting an empty floor at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital into an adolescent in-patient psychiatric treatment center. A diverse coalition of 80-plus members has been assembled for project, comprised of leadership within Pierce County ranging from medical professionals, business owners, non-profits and attorneys, to law enforcement, public officials and concerned citizens who understand the need for this kind of facility. Sara Long, now retired from her noteworthy service as vice president of Foundations of MultiCare, was brought on as coalition project manager. She said that constructing such a broad coalition was intentional. “The coalition is advocating for everybody in the community. Behavioral health issues know no ethnicity, class – they follow no rules and strike everybody and every corner of our community,� she said. “We need many voices because there are many stories to share with the community and government leaders on why this is so critically important.� She noted that more coalition members continue to come onboard as well. “People want to help us and bring their voice and perspectives to our work.� William T. Weyerhaeuser, PhD, president of the Sequoia Foundation, and Brad Cheney, executive director of the Ben B. Cheney Foundation, are the coalition co-chairs. “The problem is that we have a number of people who need hospital care for psychiatric reasons,� Weyerhaeuser said, “but because of limited capacity, many are wandering our streets, are in our jails or ending up in emergency rooms and slowing things down in our emergency rooms to deal with people who have other types of health issues. There are families who have a loved one who is experiencing severe emotional disturbances who have no

ment of Commerce competitive grants program. The coalition is also seeking $5-$7 million from federal sources with help from members of Washington State congressional leaders Derek Kilmer, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Local governments are being asked to help the coalition collect $5-$6 million including Pierce County ($1.75 million), Tacoma ($1.5 million), Lakewood ($350,000), Auburn ($400,000), Puyallup ($250,000), Fife ($200,000), Federal Way ($500,000), Gig Harbor ($150,000) and Fircrest ($100,000), with University Place and Sumner also on the list to ask. “It’s important that we obtain commitments from cities whose population will be using this facility because that benefits us with state and federal funding – they like to see local commitment,� Weyerhaeuser said, noting that the coalition is looking to raise $5-$7 million privately through foundation support at local, regional and national levels. “Local foundations, including the Cheney Foundation, are in the process of considering how they can play a part in this,� Cheney said. “We’re blessed that the two hospitals have put $20 million on the table,� said Tim Thompson, of Thompson Consulting Group in Tacoma, brought on to coordinate all the coalition's activities and implementing the government funding portion. “This is truly a crisis in terms of not having enough beds and I think we’re well along our way to doing that. We’re very comfortable with the position we’re in now and we’re making great progress in getting very positive reactions to our requests.� Thompson said that he too was shaken by the facts when it comes to mental health services in the state and county. “It was hard for me to believe in 2016 that we are 48th out of 50 (states) in terms of beds for psychiatric care. We are arguably one of the worst urban areas in the nation in terms of putting people in voluntary and involuntary hospitalization. We’re putting them in our jails, which drives up the cost of incarceration and it’s not treating the basic illnesses.� This is not the first time that MultiCare and CHI Franciscan have linked arms to help deal with a community health crisis. When the two got together to share trauma services between CHI Francisan’s St. Joseph’s Hospital and MultiCare’s Tacoma General Hospital, it was to meet a significant community need and was the first of its kind on the country. The two entities came together again to establish the nonprofit Carol Milgard Breast Center to address breast cancer with this state-ofthe-art facility. Now The Alliance for South Sound Behavioral Health marks the third chapter in both health care organizations’ annals of community health leadership. “CHI Franciscan Health and MultiCare Health System are proud to join together to expand and improve much needed access to mental health services in Pierce County,� McBride said. “In addition to the 120 new beds, our planning also includes crisis stabilization services.� “We do some work here at the foundation with Franciscan and MultiCare and when those two hospitals came together, that opened my eyes,� Cheney said. “That showed the need here, that they would put aside competition to get this hospital built.�

5,559 valid signatures of Tacoma voters to appear on a ballot next year. The lawsuit filing, Save Tacoma Water Treasurer Donna Walters said, is an example of why the initiatives should pass. The lawsuit, filed with the approval of the elected members of the Port of Tacoma Commission and business groups with elected officials on their boards, pits commercial growth against the will of the people. The EDB’s board of directors, for example, includes City Manager T.C. Broadnax, Mayor Marilyn Strickland, Tacoma Public Utilities CEO William Gaines, Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy and News Tribune Publisher David Zeeck. “They are suing the people of Tacoma,� said Walters. The initiatives were first filed as a way to stop the construction of the world’s largest natural gas-to-methanol plant on the tideflats. The plant would have used 10.4 million gallons of water a day, but the proposal died as political opposition grew to include surrounding cities, thousands of protesters and the Puyallup Tribe. The effort to gather signatures continued as a way to safeguard against mega projects from happening again without public support. “A million gallons of water is a lot of water,� Bockwinkel said, noting that only WestRock (formerly Simpson Kraft) uses more water than the current petitions would require public votes. But the lawsuit against the effort wants a judge to stop the petition drive from even gathering signatures, just a week before Save Tacoma Water planned to submit 15,000 signatures between both petitions for validation on June 15. Volunteers gathered them in just the last two and a half months. State law allows for 180 days. The lawsuit claims both petitions should be invalidated because they are legally flawed and overreach in their scope, partially because the vote would be of Tacoma residents only. Tacoma Water is a division of municipally owned Tacoma Public Utilities, which provides water to surrounding cities that include University Place and Fife. It should be noted that the chamber endorsed Tacoma’s $425 million road-improvement plans that raised gross earnings taxes on utilities that raised the power and water bills for residents outside of the city. Those endorsements came at the objection of cities where their residents saw higher utility bills without being allowed to vote on the increases. So the chamber is using the argument that the initiatives are unfair to those cities just months after endorsing a tax on them for roads that also didn’t allow

them a voice. A judge will hear the issue later this month. But until then, petition supporters will continue, especially since threats of a lawsuit had been bubbling up for weeks. The suit also wants the volunteer effort, which has spent about $3,000 during the campaign, to pay the Port and business groups for the legal expenses of their lawsuit. “The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber is dedicated to creating job growth and improving quality of life in our region,â€? CEO Tom Pierson said in an announcement of the lawsuit. “We’ve also been a strong partner in improving our local environment, and will continue to do so – not through extreme one sided efforts, but through collaboration and consensus building. A healthy industrial area means improved quality of life. We need to continue to grow a greener industrial footprint in our region. Today, we are facing outside interests, such as the private law firm, who are working with a small but vocal minority of local residents to push an extreme agenda via an initiative process that does not make sense for our community. ‌ If industry halts, if unreasonable regulations are broadly implemented, our business community is greatly impacted.â€? The City of Tacoma, which is named as a defendant in the lawsuit because it allowed the signature-gathering to begin, plans to formally respond to the filing with an argument that state laws regarding citizen initiatives don’t include a process of determining their impacts. "We support the citizen-initiative process as a way to develop policy and maintain checks and balances in the legislative process," said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. "Under state law, however, the city does not have the legal authority to pick and choose who gets access to water in our service area. As a result, access to water cannot be determined by initiative. We must apply existing state and federal laws that ensure equality of access to municipal services. We will improve processes to address the community's concerns and ensure that all voices are heard." The city is now also currently working with Port officials to develop a notification process to provide information concerning projects taking place around Tacoma. “A formal agreement with the Port to address issues of Port-City notification, environmental review, and partnership on subarea planning will be developed,â€? said City Councilmember Robert Thoms. “Staff will be pursuing the establishment and implementation of interim regulations that address the process for large-scale projects. It is imperative our partners, including the Port, businesses, the Puyallup Tribe and impacted neighbors establish a way to best utilize the benefit of our waterfront.â€?

one of our team captains,� she said. “It’s a tough, gritty, campy sport, and it’s definitely not staged – it’s real.� Until a month ago, Krauszer was working with the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium as a wildlife program associate. Then Metro Parks posted a new job – park ranger at Point Defiance Park. Krauszer’s determination went into overdrive. One of 80 candidates, she didn’t show up for the interview relying upon enthusiasm and charm. Krauszer brought in a detailed threeyear plan. “The first year was support of our existing package of programs – the park had never had a ranger before,� she said. “The second year was a blossoming of new programs, including the Junior Rangers. The third year was an evaluation of how it was all working, and how to make it sustainable.� Krauszer was hired. “Being a ranger gives me the chance to serve people in the park, to be involved with the environment and nature. I see the majority of my time in the first year being spent out in the park, giving us a uniformed presence,� Krauszer said. Being a ranger fulfilled a lifetime ambition she’d rarely talked about. “I always loved the rangers at National Parks,� she said. “I made my first trip to Denali when I was 18 months old and probably went 13 times in my first 15 years. I idolized the rangers.� And now, the 640-acre park granted to Tacoma by President Grover Cleveland in 1888 has its first ranger. Krauszer has loved Point Defiance since 2008, when she first hiked trails there during a visit to her older sis-

ter, Jennie, who was attending Pacific Lutheran University. Their mother was a Lutheran pastor, and Krauszer could have gone to PLU but chose UPS instead. Why? “Because my older sister went there,� Krauszer said, then laughed. “Yes, there’s always been a little sibling rivalry in the family.� The new job itself has plenty of responsibility. “I’ll be a deterrent to those who break or don’t know the rules – no smoking in the park, no feeding wildlife, our leash laws. I’ll answer questions, be an educator and a first responder,� she said. That means plenty of time on the trail, guiding walks and teaching visitors about wildlife. Even if none is readily visible. Krauszer loves deer, eagles and raccoons as much as the next naturalist, but in keeping with her personality, she has unique favorites. “I love snails and slugs,� Krauszer said. “I love the Pacific Sideband snail, which is native here. During the average hike, we may encounter wildlife, but I want to show visitors the power of observation. You may not see a woodpecker, but you will likely see evidence of its presence. “Lift a small pile of leaves, you might find a salamander.� By mid-June, Krauszer will hang up her blazer and trade up to a ranger uniform complete with the flat-brimmed hat. Yes, she’ll still be a biologist, and a roller derby team captain. But Thursday through Monday, she’ll wander Point Defiance Park – often in her all-terrain vehicle. Krauszer has already encountered one benefit to being identified with the job. “One of the coolest things here has been when people stop you and say, ‘I love this park!’ It happens all the time,� she said.

t was another exciting year for boys’ high school soccer in the city of Tacoma with four of seven teams within the city limits qualifying for the playoffs after a season of rigorous play. While the lofty hopes and goals of a state championship proved to be too much the best of the bunch, Tacoma continues to field an ever-improving product on the soccer pitches around the region. There’s really no question as to who the cream of the crop was this school year, and that was the Lions from Bellarmine Prep. Head

RAINIERS RETURN HOME TO BIG NEWS AND A BIG SERIES By Justin Gimse

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

The boys of Cheney will be looking to whip up some home cooking when they return to action in Tacoma on Thursday, June 9 against the Reno Aces. After dropping back-to-back late, one-run losses on the road against the Las Vegas 51s, the Rainiers bounced back with a 9-1 thumping of their hosts in Sin City. With a series tie on the line, Rainier ace Adrian Sampson would take the mound in the fourth game and struggled through his toughest outing of the season as the 51s took a big 13-2 win over the Pacific Coast League Pacific North division leaders. While it’s still relatively early in the season, it’s safe to say that the Rainiers haven’t quite figured out a cure for their road ills yet with a 13-18 record away from Cheney Stadium. One thing is for sure though; there’s no place like home for Tacoma. The Rainiers boast a 21-6 record at Cheney, which is by far the best home record in the PCL (the El Paso Chihuahuas are second-best with an 18-10 mark). Speaking of home, perhaps we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves. There will be a little news bombshell dropped at Cheney a day before the Rainiers take to the field on Thursday evening for a huge four-game series with the Reno Aces. The top-brass from the PCL and Minor League Baseball will be paying Tacoma a visit to make a huge announcement concerning Grit City’s summer of 2017. The Triple-A All Star Game will be coming to Tacoma in July next summer. More details will be forthcoming concerning Tacoma’s first-ever stint as the host of what will surely be the Puget Sound Mid-Summer Classic. The nationally tele-

Sasha Cayward. Through her first three matches, Minah dominated her competition without losing a single game, let alone set. In the championship, Cayward put up a serious fight in the first set pushing Minah to the brink before falling 7-5. After losing the first game of the second set, Cayward had to retire due to injury and Minah claimed the title. Charles Wright’s Alexis Schomo would take home seventh place in the same tournament, while teammates Maddy Gonzalez and Jenny Seol claimed fifth place in the doubles tournament. The Charles Wright girls would finish fourth in the team race, with Annie Wright finishing fifth. Franklin Pierce’s Lauren Baker and Maddy Ross made a strong run for a 2A doubles title before losing in the semifinals to the eventual champions from Sehome. The Cardinal duo would run out of steam in the third-place match and claimed the sixth-place trophy. The Lincoln Lady Abes continue to send doubles teams to the 3A state tournament. While the duo of Amy Hung and Alexis Choy were eliminated after three matches, it’s hard not to be impressed by the upward direction of the Abes’ tennis program under head coach Minh Nguyen in recent years. Bellarmine’s Rachel Kadoshima and Megan Manke delivered a strong performance in the 4A state doubles, but were also eliminated after three matches. While there were no singles or doubles championship wins on the boys’ tennis side,

several Tacoma-area players put together outstanding performances. Charles Wright came up big again with a second-place finish by Griffin Welsh in the 1B/2B/1A singles, while brothers Tyler and Dylan Sam captured third place in doubles. The combination would net Charles Wright the boys’ team championship. Washington’s Khoa Nguyen and Kaleb Whitemarsh dropped a hard-fought opener in the 2A doubles and then ran the table on their way to a fifth-place finish. Tacoma was well represented in the boys’ 4A tennis tournament with Bellarmine and Stadium finishing third and fourth respectively in the team race. For a moment it looked as though it could be an all-Tacoma final in the 4A doubles as Stadium’s Blake Wilcox and Garrett Merz fought their way into one semifinal, with Bellarmine’s Joe Lyon and Kane Vu advancing to the other. After two tough matches, both teams had met their match and ended up meeting in the third-place contest. The team of Lyon/Vu would emerge with the third-place win, with Wilcox/Merz finishing in sixth. The most impressive performance by a Tacoma team on the baseball diamond was delivered by tiny Evergreen Lutheran. After finishing second in the 1B Sea-Tac league, followed by a runner-up finish at districts, the Eagles caught fire in the state 1B tournament, defeating Shoreline Christian 6-3 and Naselle 2-1 before falling to Colton 8-1 in the state championship game.

vised game and home run contest is already the frontrunner for “Tacoma’s Best of 2017” and we barely have two stitches of information regarding it yet. Mark it down right now. Meanwhile, Tacoma is still in the midst of an incredible season. Even after dropping three of four games on the road, the Rainiers boast a 34-24 record and command a four-game lead over second place Reno (30-28). Sure, we’re only 59 games into this season, counting a rain stoppage in New Orleans last month, that resulted in a 2-2 tie (which doesn’t appear in the standings), but a four-game tilt against the club that trails Tacoma by four games has got to send an additional jolt of excitement into the fan base. Speaking of which, the Rainiers last home stand against the Salt Lake Bees was rather epic. In four games, the crowds at Cheney averaged 5,839 per contest. The Friday fireworks crowd of 7,509 on June 3 was the largest crowd of the season, and already the second time that the Rainiers have drawn over 7,000 fans to a game. One of the reasons why the fans are flocking to Cheney was played out in front of that very same Friday fireworks crowd. Trailing 2-0 going into the bottom of the ninth inning, Tacoma

t All-City coach Joey Waters had some talented cleats to fill from his previous year’s team and not only did the Lions exceed expectations, they went out and fielded one of the finest soccer teams at the 4A level in the state of Washington. It’s all right there in the numbers when summing up Bellarmine’s 4A Narrows League championship season. In 17 games, the Lions finished 14-2-1 with their only two losses of the season coming against teams that qualified for the 4A state soccer tournament (Puyallup and Skyline). Anytime your team is giving up less than a goal a game, on average, chances are that your squad is going to pile up the victories. During the 2016 season, Bellarmine outscored their opponents by a total of 57 to 12. That’s an average of 3.4 goals for, versus a paltry 0.7 goals against. There’s no wonder why both Bellarmine goalkeepers were awarded spots on the all-league team, as well as the Tacoma Weekly All-City team. As a matter of fact, with 4A Narrows League CoMVP Jordan Williams leading the charge, Bellarmine landed a whopping 15 players on the first or second all-league team. It’s not often that one sees players that are normally substitutes for their own teams garner enough votes to earn an allleague nod. Bellarmine had four of them. Midway into the season,

entered the final frame having tallied a single hit the entire ball game. Instead, the Rainiers buckled down, rolled two across the plate and sent the game into extra innings. After shutting the Bees down in the top of the tenth, Tacoma sent newly reacquired third basemen Patrick Kivlehan to the plate to kick things off. It would take one swing of the bat to send the Cheney crowd into a tizzy. Salt Lake pitcher A.J. Achter delivered a care package over home plate and Kivlehan turned on it, sending it over the left field fence and the Cheney crowd went nuts. All this before the post-game fireworks show too. Make a note, as there are several special nights coming up at Cheney Stadium. Thursday’s series opener with Reno is a “Thirsty Thursday” with $2 beers up on the hill. Friday night’s game will conclude with a fireworks show. Other than coming out to support a winning team, fireworks are probably the second-easiest reason to come to any ballpark. Saturday night is a “Silver Bullet Saturday.” For $20, fans 21-and-over get a ticket to the “R Yard,” a 12-ounce Coors Light and a collectible T-shirt. Sunday’s series finale on June 12 is “Salute to Armed Forces Day.” The Rainiers are offering all sorts of tickets and ticket packages for this game, so be sure to stop by the ticket office or visit tacomarainiers.com for more information.

From page A10

Bellarmine grabbed hold of the top spot in the 4A Narrows and never let up. Over their final seven games of the regular season, the Lions gave no ground on their way to seven victories with 26 goals scored, against just one single goal allowed. Due to some poor and unfair district tournament planning, the Lions entered postseason play with a chance at nothing better than a third-seed to the state tournament. Meanwhile, most league champion teams throughout the state entered their respective district tournaments with a shot at a top-seed to the big dance. The Lions entered the postseason with a 13-1-1 record and were denied a shot at a district title. To add further insult to injury, Bellarmine would find themselves playing on the road to open the first round of the

state tournament, regardless of whether they won or lost their sole district match. Ultimately, the Lions would pounce on Mt. Rainier in the third-place district game for a 3-0 victory that looked more like an 8-0 pounding. Bellarmine would then travel north to face state powerhouse Skyline (13-2-2) to open the state tournament and were turned away 2-1 on a foreign field. The Stadium Tigers flirted with a second-place finish in the 4A Narrows league with some exceptional play at times, but in the end settled for third place, which garnered them another district berth. At the midway point of the season, the Tigers were rolling with three consecutive victories, including a huge 1-0 victory over rival Gig Harbor at Stadium Bowl. Second place was very realistic at the time, and there was still an outside shot for a run at the league title, if the chips fell correctly. Stadium was unable to continue their

In the 3A Narrows League, the Wilson Rams were in a dogfight with North Thurston for much of the season for third place. With Capital and Central Kitsap owning a stranglehold on the top of the standings throughout the season, the Rams had their hands full trying to secure a thirdseed to districts, which would award them a home game. In the end, the Rams nipped North Thurston by just two points in the league standings to gain a home playoff match against Prairie.

squad would find themselves facing elimination at the feet of yet another penalty shootout. The Rams would edge Prairie 4-3 in the shootout and advanced to face a hot Auburn Riverside squad that had knocked Wilson from the postseason in 2015. In the end, Wilson would fall 3-1 and finish the season with a 10-7 record. The Rams were the only 3A Narrows league team to finish the season without a single tie game. It was a difficult year for Lincoln, Mt. Tahoma and Foss, as the three squads would finish at the bottom of a tough 3A Narrows League standings. While all three schools fielded teams with some promising talent, the combination of youth and inconsistent play proved to torpedo their respective seasons. In years past, the small schools have been overlooked when it comes to the All-City teams, due to their seasons taking place during the fall months. Some

solid players were regularly overlooked. This oversight will not happen again. The Tacoma Baptist Crusaders finished their season 16-2 in the fall and fell to St. George’s in the 1B/2B state championship game 2-0. Four Crusaders were awarded with all-state nods and therefore have earned their spots among the 34 best high school players in the city of Tacoma. Again, to celebrate the outstanding play by Tacoma’s finest soccer players this season, the Tacoma Weekly put together a list of the best of the best players from around the city of Tacoma. We then created two fictitious soccer all-star clubs and then drafted players to each team from the pool of talent. In doing so, we believe we have created a better representation of Tacoma’s talent compared to the usual first-team, second-team, honorable mention format most other outlets have employed for decades.

akewood Playhouse’s 77th season will not go quietly into that good night. The theater is ending its current season of main stage shows with a bang: a brash, colorful, bawdy, boisterous, irreverent (but not irrelevant) grand finale that puts an exclamation mark on the season, a production of the musical comedy “Avenue Q.” The show is directed by Victoria Webb and musically directed by Josh Zimmerman. Described as a mash up of “Sesame Street” and “South Park,” the show uses fuzzy, Muppet-style puppets to tell a story which is an exploration – through humor – of issues that contemporary young adults have to grapple with as they navigate the transition from college life (an extension of childhood) to an adulthood that involves all the hubbub of starting a career, making relationships, and generally keeping a roof over one’s head and food on the table. The cast of “Avenue Q” consists of three human characters and 11 puppet characters. The latter are operated and voiced by four amazing puppeteer/actors. The main character in the story is Princeton, one of the puppets. Princeton has just graduated from college (with a B.A. in English) and is now in New York City, on Avenue Q, looking for a place to live while he starts a life on his own. He meets a love interest, another of the puppets called Kate Monster, and he makes friends with the other residents of the building. What unfolds is a comically musical romp in the style of “Sesame Street.” Instead of teaching children basic mathematics, grammar and self-belief, however, “Avenue Q” explores things like job hunting, sexual issues, racism, homelessness, the quest for meaning, and the importance

of helping others. Where “Sesame Street” encourages children to follow their dreams, “Avenue Q” makes the point that not everyone achieves their dreams or even finds a purpose in life. With songs like “It Sucks to be Me,” “Schadenfreude” and “For Now,” the show makes the point that life ain’t easy, but that helping others and trying to live in the moment is a way to make life bearable. “When you help others you can’t help but help yourself,” runs one of the refrains. As Princeton seeks out his purpose in life, he falls in and out of love, has financial problems and drinks a lot. One of the more humorous elements of the show is the “Bad Idea Bears,” who are the opposite of one’s “better angels.” This pair comes to characters at pivotal moments and encourages them to make bad decisions like using money from your parents to buy beer or having a night of heavy drinking followed by sex when you are scheduled to make a big step in your career the next morning. The set includes a pair of monitors on which funny, faux-educational animations are shown from time to time. The most fascinating thing about this remarkable show is the interplay between the puppets and the actors that operate and voice them. Dressed in grey, the puppet masters use voice, and their own faces and bodies to flesh out the emotions and motions of the puppet characters. The effect is beguiling. One can see why the ancient use of puppetry as a dramatic art form is still revered and used for serious theater in many cultures. It seems a shame that in American parlance, the puppet has been made into a fuzzy stuffed animal and is relegated to comedy and to children’s drama. Watching the actors with puppets in this play, one catches a glimpse of the greater potential that the form has for a wide range of expression. The four puppeteer/actors are the stars of this show.

Taylor Davis gives voice to both Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut, two very different personalities that Davis handles with remarkable dexterity. Kayla Crawford often performs Lucy’s sultry body presence and also works one of the Bad Idea Bears. Crawford also assists in operating Nicky and Trekkie Monster, both of which require two handlers. The main character, Princeton – as well as Rod, the closeted gay character – are acted by Kyle Sinclair, who is a font of charm and good cheer. The versatile Derek Hall is fantastic and has the perfect voice for Nicky and Trekkie Monster. The human characters in “Avenue Q” are an integral part of the story. Conner Brown plays Brian, the frustrated comedian, while JasminRae Onggao Lazaroo plays his Asian wife, Christmas Eve. A source of many of the gags is that the child actor Gary Coleman is supposed to be the superintendent of the apartment building in which the characters live. Here, the grown up Gary Coleman is played by Tony L. Williams. Avenue Q enjoyed great success during a long run on Broadway between 2003 and 2009. The show won several Tony awards including Best Musical in 2004. The Lakewood Playhouse production lives up to this heritage. A word to the wise: this may be a puppet show, but it can get raunchy and deals with adult topics. This is not a show for kids or puritans. Leave the under aged and over virtuous at home for this one. For the rest of us worldly adults, this is a great, entertaining show that hits the funny bone. The building is air conditioned, so it is a great escape on a hot day or night. “Avenue Q” runs through July 3, with performances at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Two Thursday special showings take place June 9 and June 16 at 8 p.m. For further information visit www.lakewoodplayhouse.org.

CLEANSED. Students from Tacoma schools are showing artwork cel-

ebrating the clean-up of the Thea Foss Waterway. The exhibit will be open to the public at the June 19 opening of the Foss Waterway Seaport.

The Foss Waterway Seaport, Puget Sound’s maritime heritage, education and event center, will officially launch a new exhibit to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Superfund Site Clean-up of the Thea Foss Waterway. The exhibit will be unveiled at a special, invitation-only reception on June 1. Attendees will include Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland, Tacoma School District administrators, participating artists and students and families of classes that have produced art for the exhibit. A public opening to be held June 19 will be in conjunction with the seasonal opening of the Foss Waterway Seaport. The Seaport has been closed for the installation of an air conditioning system, which will also provide heat in the Balfour Dock Building for the first time in the 117-year history of the building. This will allow the Seaport to remain open year round. The clean-up exhibit will feature artwork from select Tacoma schools and students. The art will portray the transformation of the waterway from a contaminated Superfund site to a place of recreation, fishing and commerce today. Visuals, videos, interpretive information, artifacts and student and professional art will convey the story of the clean-up. In 1983, the EPA declared the waterway and Commencement Bay a Superfund site, among the most polluted areas in the nation. In 1998, Tacoma undertook

the $105 million dollar clean-up of the Foss Waterway and the larger Commencement Bay Superfund site. For years it was mistakenly presumed that the ocean acted as a sort of washing machine, taking the waste away with the tides. However, decades of unmonitored dumping of industrial and urban wastes was killing the waterway. Contaminated materials were bonding with the sediment and building up until marine life was almost non-existent and heavy metals, pesticides and other chemicals reached toxic levels. This year is the 10th year anniversary of the waterway’s completed cleanup. The new exhibit celebrates this monumental accomplishment and all that has been done to make this water healthy again. Visitors will experience the extent of the pollution, the process of the cleanup and how everyone can help keep the waterway clean. The artworks, along with hands-on components of the exhibit, are intended to give students and the public a voice to share the importance of everyone working together to maintain the waterway. The exhibit is a partnership of the Foss Waterway Seaport, the City of Tacoma Environmental Services Department and Tacoma Public Schools and has been supported financially by TOTE Maritime Alaska as well as a number of other local businesses.

This week at Collins Library:

Puget Sound Book Artists 6th Annual Members’ Exhibition Through July 30; Opening reception June 9, 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Join us in viewing 60 works by 38 regional artists at University of Puget Sound’s Collins Memorial Library. The exhibit encompasses huge variations: from traditional codex-bound books, to those that can only be described as narrative sculptures. Within the artistic genre many subsets exist: collage and assemblage; folded origami pop-ups; hand-drawn, digital, letterpress and silk-screen printing; boxed and unboxed; multiples and oneof-a-kinds ‌ and many more. An equally wide range of materials can be seen: machine and handmade paper, of course, but also textile, ceramic, acrylic, wood, glass, found objects, salt, cultured biologic medium – even smashed electronics and broken crockery. Inspirations are as varied as the number of pieces – the book as culture, beauty, personal experience, social justice, the environment and just plain fun.

SLIPKNOT DELAYS LOCAL APPEARANCE

Medical issues have caused alt-metal band Slipknot to postpone its scheduled June 11 appearance at Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre. The show will now take place on Aug. 11, Live Nation announced Tuesday. Over the weekend, the band revealed that its leader, Corey Taylor, had recently undergone “unplanned spinal surgery” leading to the delay in launching its tour with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice and Men. Taylor posted the following message on Facebook: “Regretfully, I’m sending this to our fans to inform you that we will be postponing the first couple of weeks of our upcoming U.S tour. Unfortunately, I had to undergo an unplanned spinal surgery. I am recovering nicely, and all went well. I need a little recovery time before hitting the stage. We will start the summer tour in Nashville on June 28 and continue as previously scheduled. An update on the rescheduled dates will be available in the next few days. I hope you all understand and thanks for always having my back!” Live Nation has advised fans to hold onto their tickets from the June show, which will be valid for the new date. Ernest A. Jasmin, Tacoma Weekly

MAKE A SPLASH. Meeker Days past have included performance

groups like Asian Pacific Islander youth (above) as well as rides and entertainments like "Bubble Fun" (lower photo). By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma’s biggest festivals – Freedom Fair, Taste of Tacoma, Art on the Ave – are still weeks away. Right now, all eyes are turned toward Puyallup in search of a little fun in the sun. Next week, Meeker Days will take over several blocks of the city’s downtown – a section bordered on two sides by Main Street and Third Street SW – for three days of music, dance, libation and more. The free, family festival – named after pioneer Ezra Meeker, Puyallup’s first mayor – will go on from noon to 9 p.m. June 17 and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. June 18 and 19. “It’s one of the biggest events in the South Sound,” said festival manager Jennifer Robinson, who expects anywhere from 100,000 to 135,000 locals to show up for Meeker Days’ threeday run. “It’s been going on for 77 years, and it’s a huge community festival that a lot of people enjoy attending.” Among next week’s biggest attractions will be four stages of live music: the Muckleshoot/Northwest Stage Main Stage, the Community Stage, the BECU Rotary Stage, and the Ezra Meeker stage, the latter in its new location near City Hall to improve festival acoustics and traffic flow. Performing on those stages will be a cross-section of local indie-rock acts, cover bands and at least one living legend.

South Sound staple Jerry Miller was ranked No. 68 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003 and is best known for his time with Moby Grape. He’ll play at noon June 19 on the Community Stage. Other acts include the Fun Police, who will bring their raucous blend of punk, country and Latin music to the BECU Rotary Stage at 8 p.m. on June 17; classic garage-rock act, The Adventures, at 4 p.m. June 18 on the Main Stage; and Sumner outlaw country act Colt & The Peacemakers on that same stage at noon June 19. It’s also not too late to sign up your own group to compete in the Battle of the Bands, which will be held from noon to 3 p.m. on the Main Stage on June 18. Many will grab a nosh between bands, and new this year will be a tequila and taco garden, featuring scrumptious street tacos and frosty margaritas provided by Fiesta Taqueria & Tequila bar. “They have phenomenal food – great street tacos and fantastic margaritas. I don’t think you’ll get a better margarita in town (and) they’re a

They own this in town, and they also own Karma of India on South Hill.” There will be loads of kid friendly activities for families that have little people in tow, including face painting, interactive games and bouncy houses in the Kid Zone. Kids can learn to catch their own fish in the Trout Pond (actually a 10 by 20-foot galvanized fish tank). And there will be plenty of family acts shuffled in with all those rockers on the performance stages, from the Clay Martin Puppets to Reptile Man. Noticeably missing this year, though, is the Little Miss Meeker competition, a pageant for girls ages 6 to 9. The event was scheduled to return this year after going on hiatus in 2015 but had to be canceled. “We put it out there, but we didn’t get a lot of response as far as applicants,” Robinson said. “But we’re going to try again next year.” Find a full schedule of performers, Battle of the Bands criteria, directions and more online at www. puyallupmainstreet.com/ events/meeker-days MAGGIE’S PLAN (98 MIN, R) Fri 6/10: 2:05, 4:30, 7:00, 9:15 Sat 6/11-Sun 6/12: 11:40 AM, 2:05, 4:30, 7:00, 9:15, Mon 6/13-Tue 6/14: 2:05, 4:30, 7:00, 9:15, Wed 6/15: 4:30, 7:00, 9:15, Thu 6/16: 2:05, 4:30, 9:15 THE LOBSTER (119 MIN, R) Fri 6/10-Tue 6/14: 1:15, 3:50, 6:30, 9:05, Wed 6/15: 1:15, 3:50, 9:05 Thu 6/16: 1:15, 3:50, 6:30, 9:05 LOVE & FRIENDSHIP (92 MIN, PG) Fri 6/10: 1:40, 4:00, 6:20, 8:30 Sat 6/11-Sun 6/12: 11:25 AM, 1:40, 4:00, 6:20, 8:30, Mon 6/13-Thu 6/16: 1:40, 4:00, 6:20, 8:30 THE MEDDLER (100 MIN, PG-13) Fri 6/10: 1:50, 4:15, 6:40, 9:00 Sat 6/11-Sun 6/12: 11:30 AM, 1:50, 4:15, 6:40, 9:00, Mon 6/13: 1:50, 4:15, 9:00, Tue 6/14: 4:15, 9:00, Wed 6/15: 1:50, 4:15, Thu 6/16: 1:50, 4:15, 9:00 THE TRIALS OF MUHAMMAD ALI (94 MIN, NR) Mon 6/13: 6:40 PELÉ: BIRTH OF A LEGEND (114 MIN, PG) Tue 6/14: 1:50, 6:35 NORTH BY NORTHWEST (136 MIN, NR) Wed 6/15: 1:45, 6:45 TIME TO CHOOSE (100 MIN, NR) Wed 6/15: 7:00

He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. “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. This show contains very mature and adult content. Parents are encouraged to research the content of this production on the show’s Broadway website at http://www.avenueq.com.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) If it seems like you’ve reached a stalemate concerning one area of your life, you might have more wiggle room than you think. This week’s blend of energies suggests that if you’re uncertain as to what your next step should be, it might be wise to slow down for a while. In fact, it may be that you need more information or a chance to upgrade certain skills in order to tackle current challenges.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) With a delightful blend of energies showing up in your sector of travel and learning, this is one week when you could be tempted to book a short getaway or longer vacation. The present backdrop reveals that you would benefit greatly from a chance to see your present situation from a fresh perspective. Even an out-of-town gathering or trip to visit family could give you a chance to step back from life and perhaps glean a few insights as a result.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Finances are in focus this week, with Monday bringing an opportunity to splurge. If you’ve had your eye on a certain purchase, this could be the time you decide to go for it, no matter how much it costs. On another note, being sensitive to another’s feelings might encourage a heart-to-heart talk and prevent a disagreement. The weekend could see you shopping for bargains, with the option of a deal that is too good to pass up. Don’t miss out!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Wherever you look, there could be temptations to spend your hard-earned money. And with the present picture encouraging you to be a little more economical, it could leave you feeling left out. Indeed, friends may be actively encouraging you to splurge. What to do? The answer may lie in being creative with your money. There could be ways to get what you want other than spending cash. Bartering is a potentially useful idea.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You’ll be in your element this week, enjoying the chance to be your natural, bubbly self. And if you find it difficult to understand where someone is coming from, you’ll have plenty of friends to confide in who may be able to offer some advice. With Mars retrograde in your health and lifestyle sector, you’d be wise to pace yourself when it comes to your job and daily tasks. In fact, a daily period of meditation could be very helpful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Don’t feel you have to explain yourself to others. You don’t. In fact, with Saturn retrograde in your sign and Mars retrograde in a more private part of your chart, you may feel like keeping your innermost thoughts to yourself. There’s a reason why this might be good idea, and that’s because you’re gaining insight into certain challenges or issues. While friends can be excellent confidants, there are times when you need to work things out for yourself.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) With a focus on a more introspective sector of your chart, this week’s blend of energies could see you taking time out to unwind and put a bit of distance between you and your daily life. With Saturn spinning backward in a key area of your chart, you might be feeling the pressure. The trick to handling this could be to not overburden yourself with unnecessary tasks but allow plenty of leeway. You’ll find it easier to cope if you do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) With a focus on your sector of work and lifestyle, this week’s bubbly energies could see you eager to take things to the next level. Showcase new skills to prospective employers or talk to your boss about a promotion, because your abilities may be in demand. Regarding exercise, the present picture encourages you to do all in your power to remain as flexible as possible. Yoga, tai chi, or swimming can be helpful for feeling good and keeping joints supple.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Your friends look like a positive force in your life this week and in the coming weeks, especially if you’re feeling weary after dealing with some challenges. In addition, they could be the ones to boost your confidence if you’ve felt a tad deflated recently. This is why getting out and about is mandatory for you. You’ll benefit from spending time in good company. The solution to key issues may come when your mind is focused on other things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) With your leisure and pleasure sector in focus, the cosmos encourages you to relax and enjoy life. This can be important, considering the present picture, which suggests that you could certainly do with a break. If you’ve been out of the dating loop for a while, it might be time to have another go if it feels right. Taking up a pastime or enjoying cultural activities could get your creative juices flowing once again, which you might really enjoy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) With a focus on your sector of career and ambition, this week looks perfect for making a splash on the stage of life. Even if you’ve experienced a few difficulties lately, the confidence you get from showcasing your skills and abilities, closing a deal, or securing a new job will encourage you to persevere. You may have a lot on your plate, so one way to make things easier might be to delegate, particularly home and family chores.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) There’s plenty of activity on the home front, which could mean you’ll be eager to entertain friends new and old, impress key people, or simply hang out with close pals. Don’t deny yourself this opportunity, because you could do with a chance to unwind and even pamper yourself a little. If you get an invitation to a party, you should definitely accept. In addition, a few spa-related treatments might not go amiss.

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.
