Local effort matches bikes with children in need of a summer ride By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

onathan Seamon wandered along the row of shiny bikes. Some were pink. Some were blue. Some had streamers, while others had bells. He test rode a few and narrowed the field between one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bicycle and one blazed out with Lightening McQueen decals. He walked around them and inspected the tires. Race cars finally won out over pizza-eating super turtles. Seamon scored the flashy new ride after his aunt, Dani Thueringer, nominated the Covington resident for a free bike promoted by “The Ron & Don Show” on 97.3 KIRO FM. About 100 children received free bikes from the Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County event at LeMay: America’s Car Museum on Saturday. “We had a really big mob at the very beginning,” Pierce County Sheriff ’s Department spokesman and CrimeStoppers coordinator Ed Troyer said. The bike was a welcome surprise for 4-year-old Seamon. He has three younger sisters, twin toddlers and a 4-month-old baby sister, all being raised by a single mom. His family recently moved from Eastern Washington to the area. “He really doesn’t have a whole lot,” Thueringer said. The new bike changed that. Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County is a non-profit that has no paid employees, and is made up of 20 citizen volunteer board members, a program coordinator and an executive director. Board members are responsible for fundraising for rewards, approving and paying rewards for crime tips, and promoting the program to the community. The organization also sponsors a host of community events, including Charlie’s Dinosaur, which provides backpacks filled with new bedding, toiletries, clothing, school supplies and toys for children who are being suddenly removed from homes due to unsafe, abusive, unsanitary living conditions; Toys for Tots, which partners with the Marine Corps League to distribute some 60,000 toys, books, games and art supplies to underprivileged children in Pierce County.

Washington’s hearing-impaired community got an opportunity to congregate over free food and entertainment at the 39th annual deaf picnic on June 6. The picnic, held at Birney Elementary School for the fourth consecutive year, allowed the deaf to communicate and network in an environment that was completely their own. “It’s a way to keep the community close, find people with like interests for people who are learning sign and those who are deaf or hard of hearing,” Joshua Smith, an attendee of the event, said. Non-profit group Sertoma, an organization dedicated to helping those with hearing and speech issues, organized the get-together. Nationally, Sertoma members spend 500,000 hours volunteering their time for events like the picnic. The volunteers for the day were stationed behind a grill, providing free hot dogs, drinks and other treats for attendees. “We’re a very small group but we do some big things,” member Linda Dobner said.

All is over but the decisions. After more than 60 public meetings and forums concerning proposed changes to the city’s charter, Tuesday night’s public hearing on the issue marked the final leg of the process before election time. But now the work begins. The City Council now must decide which of the 19 proposals will be forwarded to a public vote in November. That process starts June 17, when the council will discuss which proposals to select for possible adoption. A call for pro and con campaigners will then go out June 26. Which proposals the council forwards to a public vote will be formally decided on July 15, with the resolution language going to the Audi-

TACOMA TO HOST HISTORIC CUSTOM CAR EVENT

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

31st & Adams Street Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of road riddled with holes, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Bulletin Board 9,+,+0*(;065 6- Âş:<5 205.Âť 7<)30* (9;>692 1<5, The public is invited to celebrate the reinstallation of “Sun Kingâ€? by Thomas Morandi, one of Tacoma’s most prominent pieces of public art, on June 25, from noon to 1 p.m. at the park on the intersection of South 15th and Dock streets along the Thea Foss Waterway. Morandi will be present at this event, along with City Councilmember David Boe and members of the Tacoma Arts Commission. “We are pleased to bring this stunning work of art back into the public realm where it will be enjoyed for years to come,â€? said Tacoma Arts Administrator Amy McBride. The sculpture is one of the first major pieces of art to be sited along the Prairie Line Trail, a new walking, biking and interpretive trail that follows the historic rail corridor linking the University of Washington-Tacoma campus, the Brewery District, the Museum District and Thea Foss Waterway. The trail eventually connects with the Water Ditch Trail in South Tacoma. “Sun Kingâ€? was commissioned in 1977 for $30,000 in Urban Renewal Grant funding from the federal Department of Public Works. The monumental-scale, contemporary, bronze plate sculpture measures more than 13 feet tall, 17.5 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Morandi was selected by a panel interested in providing a focus for the pedestrian space at South 13th Street and Broadway Plaza, where the piece was sited until 2007 before it was moved into storage. Morandi currently resides in Corvallis, Ore. and is a metal sculptor and former professor of art at Oregon State University. <>; ;6 /63+ )0..,:; *644,5*,4,5; ,=,9 On June 13, a record number of University of WashingtonTacoma students will march across the stage at the Tacoma Dome, receive their degrees and step into the vanguard of more than 15,000 UW-Tacoma alumni. A total of 1,549 undergraduate and graduate degrees will be awarded by the campus this year. This year’s graduates range in age from 19 to 70. Eighty percent of the class of 2014 comes from the South Sound region. The remainder comes from all across the U.S. and 12 other countries. Eighty percent of UW Tacoma alumni stay in the region after graduating. 2014 is the largest graduating class in UW Tacoma’s history, and the largest of any South Sound 4-year degree-granting institution. This year, 62 students will receive cum laude honors, 34 will be recognized with magna cum laude and 12 will gain summa cum laude honors. Three students maintained perfect 4.0 records during their UW-Tacoma career: Sharon Hunter of Port Orchard, Wash., Erin Sataloff of Puyallup, Wash. and Chris Lower of Lacey, Wash. The winner of the 2014 Chancellor’s Medal, recognizing the most outstanding academic performance by a graduating student, is Hunter, who will receive a bachelor’s degree in environmental science. She grew up in rural Kitsap County, and has dreamed of being a research scientist from an early age. She received a Chancellor’s Undergraduate Research Scholarship and a Mary Gates Research Scholarship. The first cohort of students in the Master in Cybersecurity and Leadership (MCL) program will receive their degrees this year. The program was created in response to requests from the community, including the Washington National Guard at Camp Murray. It integrates leadership, technological, analytical, relational and communication skills focused on risk management, network and security architecture, operations, ethics, human behavior and business strategy. Twenty-six students received the degree at a special “hoodingâ€? ceremony on June 9. Fifteen of the MCL graduates have a military connection, ranging from active Army to Air Force Reserve to Army and Navy veterans. The field is fast-growing, and graduates are getting jobs with government agencies and the private sector. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson will be the 2014 commencement speaker at the ceremony. Ferguson is a UW alumnus, having served as president of student government and graduating with a political science degree in 1989. Commencement begins at 10 a.m. and completes at 12:30 p.m. at the Tacoma Dome, 2727 E.

A VERY UNLIKELY SUBJECT: GOLF By Paul Pastor Pierce County Sheriff

Anyone who knows me knows that it is truly extraordinary for me to be writing on the subject of golf. I am not a golfer. I have friends who are golf- PAUL PASTOR ers but for me, well, the game does not hold any deep fascination. Nonetheless, this weekend I will in Pinehurst, N.C. attending a portion of the USGA’s U.S. Open. I will be in attendance with four other members of our department. None of us will be playing golf. Why are we attending a golf championship? We are attending to observe modes of planning, organizing and carrying out secu-

rity for a major world-class sporting event. This event will bring tens of thousands of spectators to Chambers Bay in our county next year. Our Sheriff’s Department group will be involved behind the scenes in issues such as traffic access and control, parking, transport to venue, and the channeling and controlling of large groups of people. We will be learning about emergency responses unique to this kind of event; ways of responding and exiting during emergencies; the readiness, deployment and logistics of deploying many dozens of first responders and support personnel. We will be learning about maintaining safety for high-profile celebrity golfers as well as the spectators who watch their play. We will be learning how USGA has

worked with federal, state and local law enforcement and other first responders in this and in past U.S. Opens. We will be linking with USGA security professionals and North Carolina law enforcement personnel, watching them in action and working with them to prepare for the 2015 U.S. Open. We aim to operate in a manner that will maximize convenience and minimize inconvenience to Pierce County citizens and businesses and to the delivery of public services during the 2015 event. All of us have an interest in a safe, secure and successful 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay here in Pierce County so it would not be prudent for us to be absent from this week’s event in North Carolina. We need to learn things and then apply the lessons we learn.

T

he American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Tacoma happens Friday, June 13 at Mt. Tahoma High School. Opening Ceremonies will begin at 6 p.m. kicking off the night-long celebration to finish the fight against cancer in our community. Relay For Life began right here in Tacoma 30 years ago, starting out as the City of Destiny Classic 24-hour Run Against Cancer by Dr. Gordy Klatt. Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, simply wanted to enhance the income of the local Tacoma American Cancer Society office, and decided to raise money for the fight by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons. Never did he imagine stepping onto the track that first year, the global movement that would persevere 30 years later. Relay For Life is the world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement. Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and provide participants with an opportunity to fight back against cancer. Be at Mt. Tahoma High School to celebrate all those who have battled cancer within our Tacoma community, remember those whom we have lost lighting a luminaria for them, and decide as a unified force to fight back against cancer. This year, Relay For Life will take place in nearly 6,000 communities in the United

The girl wandered into the store and immediately began stuffing her pockets with candy and soda. When caught by loss prevention, she claimed she was stealing the merchandise for some unknown young males that were hanging out outside the store. The girl was transferred to Remann Hall for third degree theft and was banned from all Safeway stores. While a loud exhaust may make you seem cool to your friends, it also makes your car extremely noticeable to police officers, as was the case with a man driving on Tyler Street on June 6. When the man sped off from a traffic light, his Honda Civic’s loud exhaust drew the attention of a nearby officer, who quickly discovered the Civic driver was making very wide turns, which included entering oncoming traffic lanes. After performing a traffic stop, the officer quickly suspected the driver of being under the influence. The man refused to take the voluntary sobriety tests and was booked into Fife jail where he blew BAC tests of .177 and .174. Compiled by Derek Shuck

This year has been one of tremendous adversity and hardship. I’ve gone from the school of my dreams to a school that I had never even thought of attending, all for the love of the game. Baseball has been a passion of mine since day one and has taken me on a roller coaster ride throughout the course of my life. It has opened doors and closed them, been my life’s passion, and at times has even made me question my purpose in life. The game of baseball has taught me a lot about life itself and how to deal with adverse situations. I will do anything for this game and will continue to respect it and follow it on whatever path it takes me in life. Playing baseball as a freshman at the University of Washington was an overwhelming experience at times, and I found myself watching from the bench more than actually playing the game on the field. At the end of the fall quarter of my second year with the team, I decided it wasn’t for me. I was unhappy and depressed with how my life was going, and found myself in a position on a team where I wasn’t seeing the field at all and was portraying my negativity throughout my friends and others on the team. I decided to transfer to a community college for the remainder of this school year in order to better myself as a player and as a teammate. After a long and hard decision, I found myself on the campus of Tacoma Community College, a place where I had never once thought I would end up. It was hard owning up to the fact that I was leaving a school that is tops in the world in terms of academics and a nationally ranked baseball program. But I had faith in my decision and knew that this was the place I needed to be if I were to pursue baseball at the collegiate level and develop as a player. The first few weeks were tough. Adjusting to a new environment and a whole new team as

well as a new coaching staff was difficult. But as I slowly made relationships and established myself within the program, things started to get easier and became much more enjoyable for me. Our team got off to a great start going 7-1 with a 28-game winning streak to follow, leading us to a top 20 national ranking. Even though I struggled at times, it was awesome to be part of such an amazing team of strong-willed young men who truly cared for one another. We struggled to finish off the regular season of play but finished strong with a win over the second best team in the league to push us into the hunt for a championship in the playoffs. The NWAACC baseball tournament takes place in Longview, Wash. May 22nd through the 26th. It is going to be a challenging week of baseball that will take everything we have if we are to reach our end goal of winning a championship. It’s crazy to think that your life can change so drastically over the course of only a few short months. These past few months have really shown me how maintaining an open mind and never giving up on something you’re adamant about can change your life for the better. I’m so excited to see what lies ahead for me in the coming months and to see where the game of baseball takes me next. They call the game of baseball the “Child’s Game� due to the fact you can only play it until a certain age, and so many young children across the world dream of playing it for the rest of their lives. It is a game that can truly change your life and give you the opportunity to go places you never thought possible. Baseball and life coincide with one another seamlessly, both being mentally and physically challenging on a daily basis. Everyone has a fantasy growing up, and I think those who choose to chase reality and leave their dreams behind will be no more real than those who choose to pursue their dreams. Josh Latta is a student at Tacoma Community College. The above is his first-place winning essay in the Challenge Writing Contest hosted by The Challenge Student News, a student body news publication.

W Picnic From page A1

The picnic has become a mainstay for the Tacoma chapter of Sertoma during its 40-year history. “It’s just kind of a great big social event for people, we ask every year ‘what do you want to see at your picnic?’ And people just say ‘I just want to see my friends,’� Dobner said. While older folks reminisced with one another, there was plenty of entertainment for the younger people in the crowd, one of whom referred to the event as “the best picnic ever.� The playground contained a clown making balloon animals for anyone walking up, a mime using puppets to entertain and a firetruck parked in the grass, with volunteers that allowed them to spray an actual fire hose at a practice target in the field. Not to be outdone, the police officers showed off two motorcycles and let attendees pretend to ride them. Though perhaps the biggest standout of the afternoon was an Imperial Stormtrooper from “Star Wars,� which was nearly impossible to get next to due to being constantly surrounded by a swarm of children. “That one’s a new addition, but we’re very excited,� Dobner said. Despite all these attractions, everyone’s eyes eventually turned to students from KentMeridian High School who put on an American Sign Language

Though Sertoma is a small operation, that doesn’t stop its volunteers from being extremely active throughout the year. This includes raising money for scholarships for deaf or hearingimpaired students, or students looking to get into speech or hearing impairment programs, and delivering food baskets to hearing-impaired families, all in the name of growing as a community. “There’s not very many [social gatherings for the deaf], you could go to a picnic, go to a carnival but you may be the only deaf person there,� Dobson said “You will have people here who know how to communicate with you.� Dobner, whose children are both hearing-impaired, finds the picnic important in creating a sense of community for the deaf. “We’ve spent our whole 30 some years, trying to find swim lessons where our kids are not the only hearing-impaired. The more we can get them together like this, the better, they’re just like ‘this is ours, this is cool,’� Dobner said. For those interested in the annual picnic, it takes place during the first Friday of every June. For more information about Sertoma, visit www.sertoma.org.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT SUPPORTING THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY

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

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

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

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

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

reational options for Puyallup elders over 45 years old. YOUTH For the youth, the Tribe works to proactively instill positive values in its young members as early as possible through several important means: Puyallup Tribal Community Center – This 34,000square-foot facility includes a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility will also accommodate gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals and cultural activities. Chief Leschi Schools – Providing a Native-focused academic environment for children in pre-kindergarten through high school, Chief Leschi Schools serves Native American students from more than 60 different tribes with current enrollment of approximately 890 students. As one of the largest Bureau of Indian Education (BIA) schools constructed in the nation, the 200,000square-foot school is intended to be a model for Native American programs around the country. Grandview Early Learning Center – Providing quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community, during 2013 Grandview Early Learning Center served more than 120 families and 210 children.

Education opportunities within the Tribe don’t stop there. For its members seeking higher education after high school, or their general equivalency degree (GED), the Puyallup Tribe ensures that funding is available for tuition assistance, books, tutoring and more. HOUSING Believing that everyone deserves a comfortable home to live in, the Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority (PNHA) strive to provide safe and sanitary housing for Puyallup tribal members and other Native Americans. During 2012, the Housing Authority spent more than $4 million providing housing assistance to approximately 150 households. The recently completed Phase II of the Northeast Longhouse project in Tacoma added another 10 townhomes to the complex for a total of 20 townhomes. These housing units were built in an energy efficient manner and are culturally relevant to the community. Beyond providing safe and affordable housing, the Longhouse project also revitalized a struggling neighborhood. As the project came together, a long-stalled construction project across the street started up once again. Today, new singlefamily homes are now for sale on non-tribal land across the street.

RAINIERS OUTFIELDER ADDS SPEED TO THE LINE UP By Karen Westeen Missbaseball9@juno.com

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

I

t was Christmas, and I was 9 years old. It was the year that my wonderful parents had obviously suffered through a short bout of insanity as they picked up gifts for yours truly. Among the muchdesired GI Joe and Star Wars action figures was a present that staggered me. Something was definitely amiss, because there was no way on earth that my Mother had sanctioned the purchase of not one, but two pair of Boxing Gloves. Yet here they sat before me; beautiful red and white gloves; the real deal. I swear that if the lights had been turnedoff, the gloves would have been glowing and softly calling to me. “Put us on, Justin,” they would whisper. “Slip the jab and go to work on the body.” Far be it from me to argue with such pugilistic overtures. I slipped on the gloves and they felt like an extension of myself. The future world champion had arrived. My Father put on the other pair and squared-off in front of me, standing on his knees. It all happened within perhaps three excited Christmas heartbeats. I did what the gloves had told me and whomped my dad right in his belly. He dropped his guard in surprise and let out a surprised “Oof!” At that exact moment I delivered the uppercut to Dad’s jaw. His teeth clattered and he saw stars. It was a TKO four seconds into my first bout. The rematch never happened as my sweet Mother then confiscated the gloves, and my dreams of chasing chickens and drinking raw eggs like Rocky were forever dashed. Since I was a young lad, my Father and I watched boxing religiously. I was a tall, skinny kid with a tendency for easy bloody noses and a Mother who took great glee in attaching a chilly-voiced “over my dead body” to the tiny little word “no.” There wasn’t going to be any boxing for this kid. I’d just have to watch it. So as I entered the Emerald Queen Casino Showroom Saturday night, June 7, I realized I had never once breathed in this air. A boxing fan of well over 30 years, and I had never attended a single fight? Battle at the Boat 96 was going to finally usher me into boxing manhood. First things first, I needed to find my seat and was astonished to find the Tacoma Weekly seat directly under the Red Corner. Talk about big time. I knew the possibility of me getting sweat or blood on me had just gone up a billion percent. I was so excited and worked up that I swear I could feel brand new hairs growing upon my bald head. Boxing was going to turn back the clock for me tonight, I just knew it. The room was filling up and the crowd was eager for some action. I was joined next to me by the Tacoma Weekly’s photographer extraordinaire Rocky Ross, and we quickly jotted down our predictions for the night’s fights. Okay, I’ll admit that I had to talk Rocky into taking part in our little com-

petition. As a matter of fact, I had to do his jotting for him and read off the lineups to him. Perhaps he was just too busy polishing his cameras while talking softly to them to really focus. Or maybe he didn’t want to deal with possibly losing to me and hearing about it endlessly for the weeks to come. I suppose he may have been on the right track, since I did whip him with six correct picks against his four. We’re not going to rub it in though. The night kicked off with a heavyweight bout between a couple of greenhorns. Jared Torgeson looked straight off the farm and had one fight (a draw) under his belt and it would be the pro debut for the kind of scary looking Mike Hayes. I thought it was going to be a sloppy affair, and it was. It was also extremely entertaining and the contrasting styles and looks of the two made for an enjoyable four rounds as Hayes won a unanimous decision. Next up, at 161 pounds, was going to be Tacoma’s Harrison “the Wolverine” Bevens versus Cole Milani from the state that borders us to the south. Frankly, Milani could have been from Mars for all I cared. We had a hometown kid in the ring, and it was time to do us all proud. Bevens delivered, too, as he pummeled Milani from the first bell until the referee stopped the fight shortly before the end of the first round. Possibly the fight of the night was next. Ricardo Maldonado and Manuel Mendez put on a fantastic exhibition at the 136-pound class. These fighters were impressive and slick and the crowd loved them. Mendez won a very close fourround decision handing Maldonado his first pro defeat. Apparently there were lots of folks from Buckley in the audience because the place went nuts for the next fight when their boy Jeremy McCleary entered the ring. Fighting at 135 pounds, McCleary would put his 3-0 record on the line against Seattle’s Chris Wheaton who was making his debut. Wheaton looked understandably nervous and stiff through the first round, and McCleary was on the attack. However, for the next three rounds, Wheaton looked better and even had this writer thinking he might have edged the favorite on the judge’s cards. McCleary won the fight by a unani-

mous 40-36 decision, and the Buckley faithful were beside themselves. Marcelino Pineda would take on Jared Teer in the following match, and the Toppenish fighter looked like the most polished and impressive boxer of the night. Fighting at 147 pounds, Pineda knocked Teer down three times in the first round, the final hammer blow putting his opponent down for good with just 3.4 seconds left in the round. This kid has some heavy hands and my expertise says he has a bright future ahead of him. You heard it here first. The “Semi Main Event” was up next and was easily the most disappointing. Spanaway’s Cameron Sevilla-Rivera TKO’d Daryl “The Deadly Weapon” Gardner 2:17 into the first round. It looked as though the referee had jumped in too soon and stopped the fight early. The fight replay on the big screens in the showroom showed Gardner still “with it” and very much able to keep on fighting. Needless to say, the crowd was none too happy, even though we had another hometown boy getting a win. It was a rather flat lead-in to the main event between Steve “Two Pound” Forbes and Emmanuel “Ice Cool” Lartey. Forbes was a former IBF world champion and Lartey was a fighter moving up in the 145-pound ranks. This final fight was going to be 10 rounds and it showed great promise. Before the fight began there was a delay as the ring doctor could not be found. Rumor has it they had to drag him from a hot Spanish 21 table, and he was none too pleased by the interruption. The doctor’s services would go unneeded for the 10-rounder as the two fighters spent most of the fight dancing, ducking and holding each other with very little gusto involved. In the end, Lartey won a unanimous decision that a sizable portion of the crowd thought was undeserving. I had Forbes winning by a landslide on my own card, but I suppose the judges know what they’re doing. I left the EQC Showroom happy, satisfied and wanting more. The event renewed my love of boxing, and it exceeded my expectations. I did get a little bit of boxer sweat on me, but not a drop of blood. Oh well, you can’t expect perfection. I’ll just have to wait for the Battle at the Boat 97.

Rainiers outfielder Xavier Avery played only three games with Tacoma at the end of the 2013 season after being traded from Baltimore to Seattle on August 31. This year, the 24-year-old speedster has definitely made his mark on the team. As of June 9, he leads the team in most games played (60 out of 63) and has stolen twice as many bases (19) as any other player. He has a .278 batting average, with 23 walks, 42 strike outs and only three errors. Drafted out of high school in the second round in 2008, this is Avery’s seventh season in professional baseball, most of it spent in the minor leagues. However, he did play 32 games with Baltimore during 2012. The Georgia native sat down recently with Tacoma Weekly’s baseball correspondent, Karen Westeen, to talk about his career.

KW: Where is your home now? XA: My current home is in Nashville, with my wife. I’m from Atlanta, Georgia. That’s where I went to school. KW: Has your family had a chance to come up here yet? XA: Just my wife, not my parents. KW: What other sports did you play in high school? XA: Basketball, football and track. KW: What’s your earliest baseball memory? XA: When I was seven years old, I hit my first double when I was in Little League. It felt like a home run. KW: What is your position? XA: I can play all the spots in the outfield. I’ve played every one since I’ve been here. KW: Do you have a natural position? XA: Center field. That’s where I feel most comfortable. KW: You were drafted by the Orioles in 2008, a year before they drafted your current teammate Ty Kelly. Did you two ever play together when you were coming up thorough the minors? XA: Last year, when I got here, was the first time we played on the same team. KW: Where were you on draft day? XA: I was at home with my family. We were having dinner and watching the draft on TV. KW: Did you see your name before they called you? XA: No. They called me on the phone because I was a second rounder. KW: Were you expecting Baltimore to take you? XA: No, I didn’t know who would take me. I just sat there and waited for the phone call. KW: How did you celebrate that night? XA: Just a family celebration. My dad barbequed. KW: The first year you played in the Gulf Coast League with their rookie team in Sara-

Three of the four Tacoma area semi-pro football teams remain undefeated and sit at the top of the 10-team Western Washington Football Alliance standings. The Puyallup Nation Kings, Pierce County Bengals and the Northwest Cardinals all sit at 3-0 following a successful weekend on the road for the three. The first-year franchise Northwest Cardinals continue to be the surprise of the league and are heavy favorites to move to 4-0 after Saturday’s June 14 game against the winless Washington Cavaliers at Stadium Bowl. The Cardinals showed some grit to remain undefeated on June 7 against the Cowlitz County Blackhawks. Trailing 9-0 at the half, the Cardinals shut-out the Blackhawks in the second half and scored 21 unanswered points for the 21-9 victory. The Bengals are one of the longestrunning semi-pro football franchises in Washington and they have been relying on a bruising defense to keep them ahead of the competition. Through three games the team is averaging just under 12 points a game, while surrendering only a touchdown per on defense. Either the Bengals or the Cardinals will fall from the top of the standings on June 21 when the two square-off at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner. Puyallup looked to be facing its most stiff competition on June 7 as they traveled to Renton to face the Ravens. The big match-up was not to be as the Kings handled the home team 48-6. So far this season, the Kings are averaging a whopping 57 points per game, while the impressive defense is yielding just over four points per outing.

Pierce College Director of Athletics Duncan Stevenson was recognized at the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) Hall of Fame Banquet last week for going the extra mile on behalf of the organization. For the second time in his career, NWAACC presented him with the Dutch Triebwasser Award for outstanding service as an athletic director. Stevenson was the first winner of the award when it was established in 1990. “I was extremely honored the first year I received the award,� he said. “At this point in my career, to be recog-

nized for a second time is a very humbling experience.� Throughout his 27 years as athletic director at Pierce College, Stevenson has been a consummate team player and advocate for student-athletes. Since 2004, four of the program’s six teams have qualified for the NWAACC playoffs each year. Overall team successes have also garnered individual recognition for many studentathletes and coaches alike. He also played a significant role in planning and developing the construction of the Pierce College Fort Steilacoom Health Education Center. Today, the facility is home to the Raiders volleyball and basketball teams, and is widely recognized as one of the premier college athletic facilities in the Pacific Northwest. Under Stevenson’s guidance, the success rates of student-athletes in the classroom are at an all-time high. Retention rates for second-year participants have been in excess of 97 percent, with cumulative grade point averages significantly higher than the general student body population. “This award truly demonstrates Duncan’s ongoing commitment to academic and athletic excellence,� said Pierce College Chancellor Michele Johnson. “The program is truly focused on the studentathlete, and their performance on the field and in the classroom.�

Pacific Lutheran All-American starting pitcher Trevor Lubking became the first 2014 NCAA Div. III draftee and the second Lute taken in the past two years Saturday June 7 when the Tampa Bay Rays selected Lubking in the 14th round of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Lubking became the seventh Lute selected in the draft and the second-highest selection in program history when the Rays chose him with the 427th pick. Former teammate and fellow pitcher Max Beatty was drafted in 2013 by the San Diego Padres in the 32nd round (958th overall). Eric Monson holds the record for highest PLU draftee, as the Kansas City Royals selected the former PLU third baseman in the 11th round (272nd overall) of the 1982 draft. “As soon as I saw my name put up on the board, I was in absolute shock,� Lubking said. “It’s a dream come true; I’m still speechless.� Lubking was named to the American Baseball Coaches Association All-America Third Team two weeks ago after leading all of NCAA Div. III with 111 strikeouts. The left hander took over as the Lutes’ ace in 2014 after Beatty was drafted following his junior

year, and Lubking stepped up to the challenge. He finished his junior campaign with a 6-2 record and a 2.12 earned run average to help lead the Lutes’ pitching staff to a program-record 2.75 team ERA. His individual season mark was the fourthlowest by a PLU starter since 1972, and his strikeout total broke his own PLU record of 102 set in 2013. Lubking wrapped the year with five starts of three hits allowed or fewer and three 13-strikeout performances. He also added a save in his lone relief appearance and became only the fourth All-American in PLU baseball history. He was also named to both the ABCA and the d3baseball.com All-West Region teams as well as the All-Northwest Conference First Team. “I’m obviously excited for Trevor, because I think he has a real shot at making it,� PLU head coach Geoff Loomis said. “I’m equally as excited about what this says about our program. Two juniors drafted in two years is unheard of at the D-III level, and I believe we have more guys in our program who can make it at the pro level. It’s a great day to celebrate Trevor and Lutes baseball.� Monson was the first player in PLU history to be drafted by an MLB team when the Royals took him in 1982. Right-handed pitcher Sterling Stock was taken by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 28th round (738th overall) of the 1989 draft. Left-handed pitcher Andrew Cochran went to the Braves in the 51st round (1,391st overall) of the 1995 draft. The next three PLU draftees were all right-handed pitchers: Craig Willis (1998, 18th round, 545th overall, Seattle Mariners), Brian Farman (2001, 39th round, 1,177th overall, Cleveland Indians) and Beatty.

ma Rainiers. Since going on the disabled list during Mariners spring training, Walker has now made three brief rehab starts for the Rainiers. So far the numbers are showing some rust since the big right-hander has been healing-up away from the diamond. In 10 innings of work for the Rainiers, Walker has a 6.30 ERA and has given up four home runs and has struck-out 10 batters. The Rainiers return to Cheney Stadium for an eight-game home stand beginning Tuesday, June 17. One would not expect Walker’s Tacoma stay to be too awfully extended. Get your tickets to see him down here while you can.

Pacific Lutheran senior cross country/track and field student-athlete Alan DenAdel claimed Capital One Academic All-District VIII recognition for the second straight year, as the teams were released Thursday. DenAdel graduated with a 3.94 grade point average and a degree in mathematics last weekend after earning four varsity letters in both cross country and track and field at PLU. He was one of 10 student-athletes listed on the NCAA Div. III District VIII squad and will advance to the ballot for Academic All-America honors. DenAdel has earned Dean’s List recognition all four years at PLU and received a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. He will attend the University of Oregon’s Master Industrial Internship in Bioinformatics and Genomics beginning this summer. District VIII encompasses NCAA member institutions in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

SOUNDERS U-23 HITTING ON ALL CYLINDERS IN 2-1 WINNER By Justin Gimse

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

After dropping the first two games of the season, the Sounders U-23 have rolled together three consecutive victories and now sit in third place in the Premier Development League Northwest division standings with two games in-hand on the two clubs ahead of them. Friday night, June 6, the club hosted the Washington Crossfire at Starfire Soccer Stadium in Tukwila and dropped the visitors 2-1 in a dominant effort. With several new faces on the Sounders U-23 roster, the club has been working hard to integrate the new blood with the returning veterans and so far it is paying off. New players such as Michael Bajza, Jefferson Caldwell, Niko Hansen, Chris Wehan, Clement Simonin and Mohammed Dumbuya have made an immediate impact for the team and the club is beginning to gel into an impressive group. “We’re still really young,� said Sounders U-23 head coach Darren Sawatzky. “We have some kids that are freshmen in college. Sometimes you’ve got to give them some time to figure themselves out.� It was a physical game at Starfire, with a handful of hard fouls and yellow cards to show for it. The Crossfire struck first, capitalizing on a hard foul by the goalkeeper Caldwell in the penalty box. Caldwell earned a yellow card and then had to unsuccessfully defend a penalty kick by the Crossfire’s Christian Roldan in the 17th minute. Five minutes later the Sounders U-23 would find the equalizer goal off of

the foot of Dumbuya. The speedy striker gathered in a lead pass from Hansen and blew by his defender slotting a low shot to the bottom right past charging goalkeeper Mike Arguello. The goal would be Dumbuya’s fourth score in four games with the Sounders U-23 as the pro prospect keeps displaying a real knack for getting behind the opposition’s defense. The two clubs would enter the half tied at 1-1. Early in the second half the two teams ramped up the physical play and referee Josh Wilkens

slapped Dumbuya and the Crossfire’s Garrett Jackson with yellow cards as he attempted to rein in the rough play. For 30 minutes the Sounders U-23 hammered away at the Crossfire defense, missing several shots and opportunities. It was only a matter of time until someone connected, and that would be Luis Esteves in the 77th minute. Esteves took a long, looping pass from Michael Gallagher deep into the middle of the penalty box and bounced a score off the left post and into the net. Esteves

has now scored a goal in three-straight games for the club. The Sounders led 2-1 and the Crossfire would threaten just one more time on a soft header in the box, but Caldwell was there to scoop up the ball and kill the chance. Overall, the Sounders U-23 out-shot the Crossfire 26-11 and enjoyed an 11-2 advantage in corner kicks. “I think Crossfire is a good team, but I think when we play like we know how to play, there’s not many teams that can keep up with us,� said Bajza, a recent addition from North Carolina State University. “We had a lot of chances early not putting shots away. We’re lucky it didn’t hurt us because we kind of let Crossfire into the game.� Sawatzky also hinted at the possibility of additional roster moves but would not divulge any plans. Friday night June 13 the Sounders U-23 travel to Gordon Park Field in Bremerton to take on the first-place Kitsap Pumas at 7:30 p.m. The club returns to their home at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner on Friday June 20 against Lane United at 7 p.m.

Local Restaurants TACOMA GETS ITS SOUTHERN EXPOSURE AND IT’S DELICIOUS By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

T

A

acomans are getting a taste of traditional southern cuisine with the brand new Southern Exposure restaurant, located at 2715 Sixth Ave. “It’s a nice mix of Southern and Caribbean,� manager Angela Hernandez said. While southern barbeque is a very popular type of cuisine, Southern Exposure hopes to showcase a unique style with a Caribbean flair. “I think we show off a different side of the South,� Hernandez said. The restaurant evokes feelings of North Carolina by displaying photos of classic historical buildings from the state, chandeliers hanging over tables and even a 100-year-old grand piano in the corner. Some of the classic dishes offered at the restaurant include fried chicken, which comes with the choice of two sides – collard greens, yams, fried okra, french fries, red beans and rice, cole slaw, macaroni and cheese or hot water corn bread, for $14.95. A little messier is the rib dinner, served with your choice of two sides listed above for $16.95. And for the hungry Tacoman, the pork chops or pork steaks served with two sides for $14.95 is the

way to go. And don’t forget to wash it all down with a glass of traditional southern sweet tea for $2.50. To top it all off, Sothern Exposure offers delicious desserts in the form of peach cobbler or cheesecake for $4. Though a new restaurant, Southern Exposure is doing everything it can to connect with the Tacoma community starting by buying many of their products at farmers markets across the city to not only ensure freshness, but to support local farmers. Furthermore, Southern Exposure is planning community events that will partner with local businesses to provide entertainment for Tacomans on Sixth. “We want [Southern Exposure] to be a community place, a place that belongs to everybody,� Hernandez said. “We want people to come in and sing and play that 100-year-old piano.� Southern Exposure is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.southernon6th.com or call (253) 272-2514.

tor’s Office on Aug. 5. The vote would then take place Nov. 4. Citizens groups are already preparing to launch a signature campaign for ones not likely to get a council nod. Tops among the recommendations that were proposed by the city’s Charter Review Committee that will likely go that route is the change of government from the current council-mayor-manager system to one that would more closely mirror the federal, three-branch system, with a separate mayor’s department, a Chief Administrative Officer and a seven-member council. This governmental shift has its notable supporters as well as its notable opponents. In the camp championing the change are former mayor and former Charter Review Committee Chairman Bill Baarsma

and “Sonics Guy� Kristopher Brannon, who is also a Democratic precinct committee officer for District 27. They say the change would provide more direct oversight by voters of the direction of the city and streamline the process of crafting and forwarding a vision of the city and its resources. The opposition includes former mayor Harold Moss, the League of Women Voters, the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber and a minority of the Charter Review Committee. They say the change is not needed, could potentially cost more in added staff and

hamper the voice of voters who currently elect a majority of the council; their district councilmember, the mayor and three atlarge council members on the nine-member council. Another change to the charter under council review, proposed by the council itself, include changes to term limits from the 10-year cap to three consecutive, three-year terms as a council member and another three terms as mayor. Public financing of council campaigns under specific disclosure rules is also under consideration. Charter Review recommendations also on the

slate include: shifting the number of council members from nine to seven, with the mayor shifting to a separate department and the removal of one atlarge position. Administrative changes to reflect state law that are already part of

hen the body and mind are freed from the shackles of life – aches and pains, stress, obsessive thoughts and worries – the spirit opens, making room for new and more positive energies to inspire us. At City of Destiny Float and Massage, co-owner Marca Ouida knows the power of floating, and she wants to share it with others in a new artists program she is creating – an exchange of two free floats for a photograph of a piece of art created by the client based on those two floating experiences. “Floating is conducive to the creative process,� she said. “It has such a meditative quality. Spontaneous ideas and images come forth easily.� Ouida said that when people relax and stop thinking of “stuff,� that’s when doors open to new ideas. “There’s no rationalizing and over-thinking.� Ouida is limiting this round of her new artists program to 150 participants, closing by the end of September. Clients can work in any medium of art they like – painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, collage – and, in exchange for the floats, a photograph of their art piece taken either by themselves or City of Destiny Float and Massage. “We are not asking for the artist to give us the piece of art created, but we ask for a photograph of the artwork itself,� Ouida said. Displaying the artwork may also be a possibility at a future date and agreement. To sign up, register in person at City of Destiny Float and Massage, 406 E. 26th St., Tacoma. For more information, call (253) 792-9735.

Ouida and her son/co-owner, Luis, have created a peaceful paradise at City of Destiny Float and Massage where anyone can go to get away from the sensory overload of daily life and leave feeling renewed and refreshed like never before. In each softly lighted and private float room is a 7-foot by 5 ½-foot float basin in which 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts are dissolved into 10 inches of skintemperature water, making Ouida’s unique mixture three times denser than the Dead Sea. As you lie on your back and float effortlessly at the surface in a sound and lightreduced environment, the water allows for weightlessness in blissful peace and quiet. Without visual or audio stimulation, your body will more fully relax. Your ears stay just below the water, so noise won’t be able to reach you. There is no clock, so nothing pulls for your attention. You can let go of scheduling, the phone, interruptions, etc‌which is why floating is really about everything you won’t be doing. The quietude, water and Epsom salts combined assist in helping the floater let go and enter what Ouida describes as a lucid dream state – that meditative dreaminess during which the mind becomes active with new ideas that you may not have time to realize in your daily life. Ouida has more in store for this creative venture, including a writing program and a music program, inspired by a client who gave her a CD of music he made from his float experience. “It was such a surprise,â€? Ouida said, and it helped lead her to reach out to the community with her “two-floats-for-artâ€? offering. For more information, visit www. destinyfloats.com or call (253) 792-9735.

WARMTH. Artist Marie Watt needs more blankets to complete her sculpture. Deadline for contributing blankets is June 14.

Share meaningful experiences and stories and become part of a lasting sculpture on Tacoma’s streetscape

T

acoma Art Museum needs blankets. Northwest artist Marie Watt is creating a sculpture using 400 blankets, to be cast and bronzed and installed along Pacific Avenue in November 2014. Watt’s work explores the humble significance of blankets in our culture and Native American cultures. Blankets provide comfort; blankets accompany or are given for significant life moments. Who hasn’t sat on a blanket and shared meaningful moments with friends or family? We use them for play as kids, we take them to college or our first apartments, we give them as gifts at births and unions and housewarmings. We wrap up in them for big games. As Watt says, “Blankets are storied objects.” Anyone can give a blanket to be included in the sculpture and share the story that goes with the blanket by bringing it to the admissions desk at Tacoma Art Museum. In return they will receive a Watt screen print. Extending Watt’s exploration of humble comfort, TAM is also collecting blankets on behalf of The Rescue Mission.

Rescue Mission operates six shelters in Tacoma for children, women and men who are homeless or in transition. With Father’s Day this Sunday, consider giving a blanket in your dad’s name to honor him in the sculpture. He’ll become a lasting signature on Tacoma’s streetscape! Katherine Fawcett Dumont of Gig Harbor contributed a blanket for the sculpture in honor of her father, who was a Tacoma Hall of Fame ballplayer for the team that became the Rainiers. She also donated a blanket to Rescue Mission. Her greatgreat-grandfather, Angelo Fawcett, was a mayor of Tacoma and commissioned Union Station; he also earned the nickname “Turkey Fawcett” because he fed 2,000 homeless people on Thanksgiving during his time in office. That is a nice tie-in with efforts on behalf of Rescue Mission. Deadline to bring blankets is 5 p.m. Saturday, June 14. For further information visit www.tacomaartmuseum.org. – Tacoma Art Museum press release

Held each year in August, “IN THE SPIRIT: Contemporary Native Arts Market and Festival” encompasses a day of dancing, drumming, singing and shopping with a diverse group of Native American artists. The festival is the final celebration of the “IN THE SPIRIT Contemporary Native Arts” exhibit, held annually at the History Museum, during which we will present the People’s Choice Award. The museum will be filled with vendors selling exquisite artwork in all price ranges. Round out your festival experience by catching performances of native singers, musicians and dance groups throughout the day. The History Museum and all festival activities are free and open to the public. “In the Spirit” exhibit runs through Aug. 10. In the Spirit Festival takes place Aug. 9.

Exhibits: Civil War Pathways in the Pacific Northwest Through July 6

The Civil War fostered intense debates in Washington about race, citizenship, civil liberties, politics and federal government power, and helped connect the Pacific Northwest more closely with the rest of the nation. Civil War Pathways in the Pacific Northwest examines how the issues of the war influenced the lives of those in our region.

A Taste of Ireland IT’S A ‘FAMILY AFFAIR’ Famous O’Malley’s Irish Pub brings new flavor to Tacoma’s 6th Ave

PHOTO BY ERICA COOLEY

O

’Malley’s Irish Pub, one of 6th Avenue’s staple bars – known for a wide variety of Irish beers on tap and for hosting many popular local metal bands’ shows – is now offering a new, tasty amenity for patrons of a favorite Tacoma bar. Mike Parker, a local punk and metal musician – best known for playing drums in South 11th, Bloodhunger and Swampy Draws – has added some delicious new food options to the pub. This cooking musician, formerly the maker of delectable sandwiches at The Peterson Bros 1111 on Hilltop, is now bringing his expertise to O’Malley’s. The same Irish flavor that O’Malley’s Irish Pub is best known for in its beer options has now been brought to the food by Parker. Menu changes currently in the developing stages are estimated to be launched in the next couple of weeks, with the finishing touches to O’Malley’s new menu including delectable additions, like Irish egg rolls. This new appetizer is a mix of corned beef, cabbage and carrots, all chopped and rolled into an egg roll with horseradish and thousand island dressing on top. These and others – like jalapeùo cheese fritters – are sure to be a huge hit. In Parker’s three weeks working with the team at O’Malley’s, he has made some great changes to the food that will now be offered. A new specialty is homemade sauces. Each

of the delicious new menu options will be topped with a handmade sauce. “All of our sauces are made from scratch,� said Parker. “We have spent quite a bit of time perfecting our hot sauce. The two that are so hot, we are thinking of having waivers (signed) because they are so spicy!� Aye, that’s a hot one! This self-taught chef is now blazing through another adventure to spruce up the typical bar menu into an authentic Irish-influenced experience. With options like the Oklahoma burger historically dating back to the Depression Era, any burger connoisseur can tell you each delicious bite of onions and juicy beef, topped with a signature bun, is worth its weight in gold. These new changes are going to give a variety of options to a night out at O’Malley’s, with great local bands and a plethora of delicious imported beers on tap to make a night of it with dinner and lunch specials. Parker has some original creations on the menu in a breakfast burger with an Irish twist called The Corned Beef Hash Burger. “It’s a burger with a corned beef patty, a regular patty, burger fixins and then an over easy egg on top. It’s essentially a corned beef breakfast on top of a burger.� With a background making creative combination sandwiches at the 1111, it is no wonder that Parker has brought such a variety

of ideas and options to the typical bar food options. Customers can expect to find these delicious Irish appetizers and entrees, as well as many others like the Irish Salad for a lighter option. Or try the Irish meatloaf for a blend of a dinner basic with an Irish flavor. Parker’s change to food at O’Malley’s is essential, he said. “Even before I worked here, I came a couple times but never really ate the food because it was just typical bar food, like chicken strips, burgers, hot wings. I still wanted to keep the bar food variety but put a little Irish twist on it.� With the estimated grand opening still a few weeks out, be sure to stay up to date for the menu reveal celebration on O’Malley’s Irish Pub’s Facebook page. Now enjoy your favorite local bands like Subvinyl Jukebox and Black Mother Jones play while feasting on a chicken pot pie or take advantage of beer specials like $3 microbrews all night with a plate of Irish egg rolls. The O’Malley’s Irish Pub experience just got that much better with a fantastic addition to the behind the scenes staff. If you love authentic Irish food and beer, you will enjoy the attention to detail put into the food and beverages served here. Visit O’Malley’s Irish Pub at 2403 6th Ave. and find their Facebook page at www. facebook.com/pages/omalleys-irish-pub. Call (253) 383-3144.

ock and Roll Lodge and Steakhouse held its first ever community event on Sunday, June 8. As morning gave way to afternoon, a thick, marine layer of clouds gave way to early summer sunshine to warm up the South End residents that came out to be entertained by a motorcycle stunt show and live musical performances by Grammy Award-winning rapper Coolio and local balladeer James Coates. Music blasted on loud speakers outside as cars whizzed past on Tacoma’s Pacific Avenue. Motorists honked, waved and sometimes revved their motors in a show of approval. A dance troupe stayed on its toes as it performed on the sun-drenched northwest side of the parking lot. Vendors and a few classic cars lined the narrow north side of the building; and it was also there you could find a barber’s chair with a stylist cutting hair for free. The chair was full all day long, and Coolio even took a turn. Vendors spilled into the back, west-facing parking lot, which was also filled with more classic cars and motorcycles galore. More than 100 bikes rumbled in and out throughout the day, every-

thing from extreme custom rides, with $10,000 paint jobs to stock Harley Davidsons and import bikes. Many local motorcycle clubs stopped in for a stroll through the back lot to display their own machines and to take a quick peek at the rest of the field. Inside the popular venue, musicians performed throughout the day as it filled up and emptied with the crowds rotating in and out to catch the music, then back outside to catch the outdoor entertainment. The bustling indoor venue spilled over into the outdoor seating area of the bar with sounds of laughter and conversation battling the sounds of bar glasses clinking together and motorcycle side pipes. That area overlooked the back parking lot, which not only provided the grounds for the bulk of the motorcycles but was also the launching zone for the Hollywood B stunt bike team. From there, the street demons ripped and roared on two wheels and often times one, past a cheering crowd as they put on a superior display of asphalt wizardry. The stunt bikes were the clear fan favorite of the event, with hundreds watching as the riders rode side saddle, backward and without hands up on one wheel and any-

thing else they had in the trick bag. Lining the side of the stunt arena wasn’t close enough for some, though, as they laid in the middle of the parking lot and let the bikes jump over them. Note: Do not try this at home! The announcer encouraged the audience to get louder and the tricksters on two wheels responded appropriately every time the crowd did just that. They finished off the performances with a tiremelting smoke show, leaving the crowd engulfed in an acrid cloud of thick, blueish-gray tire smoke. But they didn’t mind; it’s what they came for. This may have been Rock and Roll Lodge’s first community event, but judging by the turnout it won’t be the last. CHEF (115 MIN, R)

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

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Your dreams may be trying to tell you something important. Stay alert, as they will reveal guidance. There is also an intense influence that suggests an argument may be brewing. Try to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible. Keep an eye on your wallet and your bank account.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) You may not see eye to eye with someone annoying and tensions may be high. This is not the time to ruffle feathers, as you may say more than you intend. It is better to be tactful than too blunt. Old wounds that run deep may be revealed in time of anger.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Try not to overspend this week. You may be tempted by luxuries or unnecessary impulses. A stalled relationship may wake up and reveal a new lease on life. Passions are highlighted so keep your cool and add extra charm with partners. Keep up your steady pace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Mixed signals from someone who is undecided could cause confusion. A hidden conflict comes to the surface. Clarity will come to the situation creating a compromising liaison. Your creative and romance sectors are highlighted, coming to your rescue. Respond accordingly.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You could have insight to a situation that has been concerning you for a long time. Clarity will come and you can finally make that important decision. This could be a great week to plan a special date night with your partner. Avoid drama and use extra patience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Edgy aspects could turn a positive relationship into an uncomfortable, awkward mess. This could spiral into a mini war of the will if you can avoid bluntness and hurting other’s feelings. Use your positive energy for personal enrichment. Show how awesome you really are.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Taking time to reflect, relax and meditate could give you a fresh perspective on current problems and added confidence to deal with them. Your partner deserves your best, which you deliver with a loving sense of duty. They really do appreciate you!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) This is a great time to ditch those old habits. Lifestyle changes are the focus for you for the next few weeks. Adopt healthy habits that will help you achieve your goals. Vivid dreams may reveal a solution to an awkward problem. Encourage others to join your pursuits.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Daydreaming about an old or potential loved one could preoccupy your fantasies this week. You may be tempted to give in to romance, so consider the consequences to avoid regrets. Social circles are buzzing around you. Deflect jealousy with your charms.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Avoid holding back your feelings. Talking over problems with a group may prove beneficial. Research topics that are of interest to you may reveal creative inspirations. Your energy level is high so take advantage of this to get things completed. Release tensions with friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) An agenda will reveal itself allowing you to make clearer decisions. This situation is coming to a head in the next several months. Red tape may slow down projects or legal matters. This weekend may be fun filled, just don’t mix money with love.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Take advantage of a career opportunity that may come your way. This won’t last long and could be missed if you procrastinate. Difficulties in communication may be spotlighted and could be resolved with skillful negotiations. Spend some time with a loved one. Ignore a jealous friend.
