Alan Stancliff railed against the city's efforts to stop gather signatures for initiatives that would call for a public vote on high-volume water projects as being undemocratic.About 40 people spoke in support of the Save Tacoma Water effforts and against the lawsuit to stop signature gatherers at the City Council Tuesday night.

ave Tacoma Water volunteers submitted some 5,000 signatures to the City Clerk’s office on Wednesday to put a measure on the November ballot that would call for a vote on projects that would use more than a million gallons of water a day. The signatures must now be validated as belonging to registered voters within Tacoma and meet a threshold of 3,160

valid signatures to face a public vote. Signature gatherers conducted their own validation screening and claim that effort showed about 80 percent of the signatures are valid, about the industry average for signature gathering campaigns. “We obviously have plenty,” organizer Sherry Bockwinkel said. “We have a lot to spare.” Save Tacoma Water campaigners had planned to turn in some 16,000 signatures for two initiatives simultaneously but opted to separate the efforts since one calls for a charter change to ride a ballot next

year and has a higher signature threshold. The deadline for its signature validation doesn’t come until September. “We want to string it out and give them a little trouble,” Bockwinkel said. The current signature validation addresses just Initiative 6, which would change the city code if it is placed on the November ballot and is approved by voters. Amendment 5 could change the city charter, which can’t be overturned by the City Council like a code change can. It would have to receive 5,559 valid signatures to appear on a ballot in 2017.

Revised sound TRansiT 3 plan would bRing Rail To The subuRbs By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The Sound Transit Board is moving forward with a revised package of mass transit projects around Puget Sound that will face voters this fall. The revised Sound Transit 3 package will speed up several key projects in Pierce County, including the routing of light rail service closer to the suburban cities of University Place and Fircrest with a planned station at Tacoma Community College. The transit board is now set to formalize the package of projects on June 23. The vote would officially kick off the $54 billion bond measure set for a vote of residents of the urbanized areas of Snohomish, King and Pierce counties in November. Changes to the timeline and added projects came following an analysis of bond capacity showed bond debt associated with Sound Transit 2 packages would taper off before any new debt is taken on if ST3 gets a nod from voters. Voters approved Sound Transit 2 in 2008. The first mass transportation package, that formed the regional transit agency, passed in 1996. ST3’s estimated cost of $54 billion in transit projects will be largely paid for through higher sales taxes, added car tab fees and increased property taxes. The average adult would pay about $17 a month or $200 a year

in higher taxes if voters approve the plan. “The public sent us a clear message: We want light rail and other high-capacity mass transit, and we want it as soon as possible,” said Sound Transit Board Chair and King County Executive Dow Constantine. “We’ll continue to work with cities, communities and other partners to deliver rail and bus rapid transit even sooner.” The Tacoma Link light rail exten-

The line now is set to be completed in 2039, when the region is expected to have added a million new residents.

Both initiatives call for public votes for high-water-use projects. Both are also at the center of a lawsuit filed by the Port of Tacoma, Economic Development Board of Tacoma-Pierce County and the TacomaPierce County Chamber to stop petitioners from gathering signatures. The legal claims in seeking petitioners to stop gathering signatures are that the initiatives are legally flawed because they overstep the limits of the initiative process. They also would violate state law, which requires public utilities to provide its customers u See SAVE TACOMA WATER / page A7

Arizona Joe By Larry LaRue larry@tacomaweekly.com

Back in the day of live radio, a regularly scheduled show might last 15 minutes and produce local personalities whose fame depended as much on shtick as talent. Beginning in the 1930s, a character named Arizona Joe had shows on Seattle’s KOL and Tacoma’s KMO as often as six days a week. Joe wasn’t from Arizona, wasn’t a cowboy – he came from an Iowa mining family – and his name wasn’t even Joe. It was Robert Streepy, who was born in

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

E. Wright Ave and Portland 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 FREEDOM FAIR AND AIR SHOW WILL GO ON Tacoma’s 4th of July extravaganza will be back to thrill the masses again this year. The volunteers who are part of the non-profit organization that presents the annual Freedom Fair that features the air show and fireworks over Commencement Bay, will not be stopped. They are not letting federal budget cuts and slow to materialize sponsorships and donations prevent the aircraft and fireworks from flying high into the sky. “It is a decades-old tradition for thousands of people to stroll along the Ruston Way Waterfront among 200 options that create two miles of smiles on Independence Day” said Gary Grape who has been an organizer of this event for over 15 years. “They enjoy stopping at the restaurants, food and beverage booths, arts and crafts vendors, car show, pole vault event, kids’ fun zone, commercial exhibits, and eight live entertainment areas that complement the air show and fireworks. It’s the wide variety of entertainment options and the beautiful setting helped get the Tacoma Freedom Fair named one of the ten “World’s Best” fireworks events by the Travel Channel.” This year in Camp Patriot next to the Lobster Shop is a pilot for an exciting new Television Music Show, “Armed Forces Icon.” It is slated to be shot this July 4 on the “America Be Strong Stage.” Executive Producer Tony La Stella describes this production as “the next big thing.the next great TV music show for our generation.” The contestants will be judged on how they served and how they sing.” LaStella is pleased to partner with award winning TV director/producer Travis Fox from Hollywood on this venture and with Beverly Hills 310 Media. Fox and the entire crew will be in Tacoma on July 4th to film the pilot of “Armed Forces Icon” at the Tacoma Freedom Fair. Once again it’s that time of year for the Tacoma Freedom Fair’s 4th of July air show! For decades an annual aerial ballet has played out in the skies over Ruston Way. This year brings some returning favorites and some new performers as well from up and down the West Coast. From high performance aerobatic airplanes, classic Navy fighter and trainers on through jet age aerobatics; Commencement Bay will be the place to be this year on the 4th. Come see a classic DC-3 airliner in the colors of a 1930’s Pan American Clipper. Along with the high performance displays we expect military aircraft fly bys and a helicopter demonstration. Don’t miss this exiting afternoon of aerial skill that kicks off at 1:30. This year’s 4th of July fireworks display will be dedicated to the memory of Stan Naccarato, who passed away on May 25. Stan was an integral part of the production of this award-winning event for many years, and he especially enjoyed the fireworks display. He was the master of ceremonies for the fireworks show for over 20 years. He had a tireless and consistent presence around Tacoma circles for over 60 years. He will truly be missed! If you would like to donate to the 2016 Freedom Fair fireworks show in memory of Stan Naccarato, please mail a check to Freedom Fair, 4109 E-7, Bridgeport Way West, University Place, WA 98466, or see our donation page at freedomfair.com to make a donation through PayPal. All donations are tax deductable. The Freedom Fair is presented by a community-based, volunteer-driven, non-profit 501 C (3) organization called the Tacoma Events Commission. It is independent of the City. Commission members volunteer and work all year to prepare for the annual event. Grape said, “We have to rely on the generosity of people to help meet the financial and staffing needs required to produce one of the largest 4th of July celebrations in the United States. This year is no different. In fact, the need has increased. Sponsors and donors are in short supply. We are asking business people and private citizens to help keep the air show and the other 4th of July traditions alive to step forward. We are taking a leap of faith to commit to presenting the Freedom Fair this year. The bills will be paid from the support received right up to the day of the event with the donations dropped in buckets at the gate.” Visit www.FreedomFair.com for details on how to donate or call (253) 507-9357. STRICKLAND TO SPEAK AT UNITED STATE OF WOMEN SUMMIT Mayor Marilyn Strickland will join a panel of public and private sector leaders this week at the White House Council on Women and Girls’ United State of Women summit in Washington, D.C. to discuss economic empowerment and increasing women’s participation in the workplace. “Women still face barriers to success in the workplace,” Strickland said. “In Tacoma, we’ve taken steps to remove some of those barriers. Paid sick and safe leave policies, such as the one implemented in Tacoma, boost the economic security of families, help employers retain talent and keep employees healthy. Policies at the city level, however, are not enough. To help more women,

families and employers, we need state legislatures and Congress to address these issues so the U.S. can catch up with other developed nations.” The United State of Women expects around 5,000 attendees at the summit. For more information, visit www.theunitedstateofwomen.org.

WALK TACOMA WINS AT WALKABLE WASHINGTON On June 7, the 2016 Walkable Washington Symposium and Awards recognized Walk Tacoma, one of Downtown On the Go’s signature event series. The annual walk series highlighting downtown Tacoma, was one of only three programs honored statewide. Events Manager Meagan Kula, who has led the Walk Tacoma program through incredible growth since 2012, was there to accept the award. “This is a huge honor and a honor that the people of Tacoma should be proud of,” says Board President Mike Hutchinson. “The number of people that Downtown On the Go’s Walk Tacoma program brings to the streets every year is incredible. This program is doing so much for the vibrancy of downtown Tacoma.” Walk Tacoma, which has inspired more than 6,000 people to get out and walk in its nearly seven years, was given the award for innovation and inspiration in the Advocacy & Encouragement category. More than 150 leaders, planners, engineers, educators, and advocates attended the Walkable Washington event in Bellevue, where three outstanding projects from across the state were awarded. Walk Tacoma was also honored earlier this month by the Landmarks Preservation Commission with the award for Urban Revitalization at the 2016 Historic Preservation Awards. On June 7, Mayor Strickland will honor Walk Tacoma again with a proclamation of Walk Tacoma Day (June 15) for the third year in a row at the Tacoma City Council meeting. Walk Tacoma is a series of fun, themed walks, now in their seventh year, that encourage people to enjoy downtown on foot by introducing new walking routes, and sharing information about the community and its history through the guided tours. The walks are scheduled on the first Wednesdays of the month at the lunch hour and just after work to get downtown employees, students, and residents to walk during the day, whether it is to and from work or school, at a lunch break, or to run an errand. To learn more about Walk Tacoma, visit downtownonthego.org/go/walking. DATE SET FOR CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS IMPROVEMENT The City Council Chambers Improvement Project is expected to begin construction on Wednesday, June 29, with an estimated completion date of Friday, Sept. 30. The chamber has not undergone any aesthetic updates since it first opened in 1979 and audio/visual updates have not occurred since 2007. During the construction timeline Council meetings will be temporarily moved to the Tacoma Public Utilities Auditorium (3628 S. 35th St., in Tacoma). The first meeting held in the auditorium will be on Tuesday, July 12, at 5 p.m. All Council meetings will continue to be held on Tuesdays at 5 p.m. at this facility until the project is completed. “For the first time in 40 years, the Council Chambers will be completely updated. The aesthetic improvements and retrofit of the audio and video equipment will be a noticeable upgrade for those who attend meetings and those who watch from home,” said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “In December 2014, the City Council approved the 2015-2016 budget to make one-time expenditures of $198,000 from the general fund for physical improvements and $400,000 in Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) funds for audio and visual upgrades. Federal law prohibits use of PEG funds for other purposes.” Aesthetic enhancements include updated wall finishes, resurfaced dais, presentation desks and podium as well as new carpeting. Audio/visual improvements include adding new monitors, improved microphone and speaker systems and upgraded cameras. The City of Tacoma’s Council Chambers serves as the main meeting facility where City elected officials, City staff and the public meet to conduct official City business. These upgrades will also serve to provide for a secondary use of the room as additional meeting space. “The Council Chambers is an important meeting space for citizens to engage with City elected officials and City staff on issues that impact the Tacoma community,” said City Manager T.C. Broadnax. “These renovations will serve to improve the civic engagement experience and give citizens an enhanced platform to see their City government in action.” For more information contact the Customer Support Center by dialing 311 within Tacoma city limits or (253) 591-5000 from anywhere else.

DETEcTIVES TRy TO IDENTIFy MOM USING STOLEN cREDIT cARD By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

Pierce County detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify a woman using a stolen credit card at Walmart while she pushed her child in the shopping basket. “In the video you can DAVID ROSE clearly see that she’s using the credit card, doing a self-checkout with the groceries,” says Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer. “The credit card was stolen from a burglary, so we want to track back and see who was responsible for doing that burglary. She knows this card’s stolen and then we also see her leaving the store very casually, nonchalantly. That kind of gives us the impression that she’s done this before, so what we want to do is get her identified and hold her accountable for using the stolen credit card and see if it has anything to do with the burglary.” Pierce County deputies have already

GOODWILL UNVEILS NEW ‘SMALL BOX’ RETAIL FORMAT A June 16 ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Goodwill store in Graham revealed a new small box retail format for Goodwill thrift in southwest Washington. The 6,596 square foot store at 224th Street East and Meridian in Graham is the first of up to five being considered to serve smaller communities in southwest and central Washington and the Olympic Peninsula over the next year. The retail space is larger than a Goodwill “blue” boutique but smaller than their 33 full size stores that cover a 15 county region of Washington state. Stores will offer inventory tailored to the female shopper, including junior’s, children’s and select men’s apparel, with purses, shoes and other items forming the supporting accessory line. Housewares, small appliances, linens, home décor, art, furniture and a selection of toys will round out the overall customer experience. Locations will also feature a new Goodwill interior design.

retail venue improves the customer shopping experience by making difficult to display merchandise – one of a kind and unique donations – easier to shop for. The layout features more organization and visible non-stacked merchandise. Easy to read signage, an airy lit atmosphere, electronics testing station and spacious fitting rooms complement the effort. Customers entering the store can also browse a new job training kiosk featuring information on free Goodwill Tacoma area programs and education in a variety of career fields. In addition to a new shopping opportunity in Graham, the store revenue helps to fund our four job training centers within our 15 county region. Construction, culinary, office/computer, warehouse/logistics and other career fields are offered free to those with barriers to employment. The store’s nine part- and full-time employees will also offer $220,000 in wage, tax and benefits – additional paycheck purchasing power for the Graham area economy. Goodwill’s business model of turning donations into thrift store operations to fund the mission of putting the unemployed back to work also keeps household goods out of area landfills.

PROSECUTORS PRESENT ON ELDER ABUSE TO SEVEN GROUPS Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Sven Nelson presented on the subject of elder abuse to seven different ethnic groups over the past five days. The presentations focused on how members of the community can identify and protect against elder abuse. “Our aging family members and friends are among the most vulnerable members of our community,” said Lindquist. “Our office protects elders through vigorous prosecution and thorough education so people can better protect themselves, their families, and their friends. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office partnered with the Safe Streets Campaign to give the presentations. Lindquist and DPA Nelson spoke to groups of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and Samoan seniors. In addition to the five presentations with Safe Streets, Prosecutor Lindquist presented to the Daffodil Kiwanis and the Fife Milton Edgewood Chamber of Commerce this week. Lindquist discussed elder abuse and other office initiatives, including the High Priority Offender Unit. The High Priority Offender Unit uses a data

driven approach to focus resources on the smaller percentage of criminals who commit a large percentage of crimes. Lindquist and DPA Nelson cautioned those in attendance that often it is family members and caregivers who are the ones who abuse elders. They urged community members to be alert and ask questions if they see signs of potential abuse. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office provided flyers noting red flags of elder abuse, and providing contact information for DPA Nelson and Adult Protective Services. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office was awarded a grant of $370,985 from the Department of Justice earlier this year to create a coordinated community response team comprised of experts from different disciplines. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has emphasized the prosecution of elder abuse since 2011. The Prosecuting Attorney encourages anyone who suspects elder abuse to report it. Reports can be made by calling 911, by contacting Adult Protective Services at 1 (866) END-HARM (363-4276) or by anonymously reporting to Crime Stoppers.

TACOMA PUBLIC SCHOOLS HONORS

NATIVE AMERICAN GRADUATES Ceremony this year celebrates largest turnout ever By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

There certainly was cause to celebrate this year at Tacoma Public Schools’ annual Indian Education Native American student graduation ceremony. It was the best turnout ever to honor all 40 of the Native American/ Alaska Native graduating seniors, with more than 140 guests attending the dinner and program on May 17 at Mt. Tahoma High School. Following a Welcome Song and blessing by Anthony Bluehorse (Dakota Sioux), Tacoma Public Schools Indian Education Administrator David Syth (Crow Nation) introduced the district leadership that was in attendance: Superintendent Carla Santorno, School Board President Karen Vialle, School Board Members Debbie Winskill and Andrea Cobb, Dr. Minan Hodge, and Assistant Superintendent Toni Pace. David Syth then gave due credit to the Indian Education Program staff: Robin Nowlin, who works with high school students across the district; Samantha Keesy, middle school specialist and office support; and Myrna Fisher, special projects and case management for elementary students; and George Zantua, president of the Indian Education parents committee. “In the course of what we do in the Indian Education Program, I would not be able to do what we provide without a stellar staff,” David Syth said. “I’m truly blessed to have this great team around me.” Carla Santorno had a special message for the seniors. “We want you to know on behalf of the Tacoma Public School District that we are so proud of you,” she said. “This is no small accomplishment – this is a big one. Pat yourself on the back. We are so pleased that you’ve completed the first part of the journey and we know you have many, many more miles to go… We just want you to know that we are so glad to have you here being part of a family that really cares about moving you to the next step. This is a beautiful celebration – it shows the investment your tribes have made in you and how much they acknowledge your good work.” David Syth expressed much gratitude to the Puyallup Tribe and Puyallup Tribal Council Member Larry LaPointe. “I have been here eight years and they have provided us with tremendous monetary support for cultural events, school supplies, helping us covering fees, scholarships… They are what makes this possible for this evening. We really appreciate the support that we get from the Puyallup Tribe.” Larry LaPointe was among the special guests that evening, and he shared thoughtful words of encouragement with the students – along with distributing $500 scholarships to 10 graduates on behalf of the Puyallup Tribe. To qualify for one of these scholarships, students were asked to provide an essay on an inspirational person who has supported them in their K-12 journey, obstacles

they’ve overcome and to share their future plans for their pathway. “You are starting a new freedom right now,” Larry LaPointe said. “No more rules in high school. The rules you have to meet are going to be your own primarily, and that’s making it to classes if you go to college or technical school. You guys work hard, stay honest and do the best job you can. Congratulations.” Additional scholarships were given by Tacoma Community College as part of the college’s new push to up its programs on campus for Native American students, choosing Tacoma Public Schools’ Indian Education Program to promote that agenda. This is the first year that TCC offered its Tacoma Community College Native American Student Achievement Award that offers three consecutive quarters at TCC. TCC Foundation Board Member Tina Hagedorn presented the four scholarships to Brandy Bullplume, Carmel Landrie, River Thaden and Trey Thompson. When it came time to honor the graduates, in the spirit of the Potlach each one received a drum, drum bag, wool blanket (Louie Gong), cedar feather and a framed/signed certificate. Anthony Bluehorse closed out the celebration with an Honor Song and blessing, and afterward the students, their families and friends enjoyed cake and coffee, sharing hugs and well wishes as the graduates enter into a new chapter in their young lives.

t Arizona Joe From page A1

Cincinnati, Ia. in 1906 without a cowboy hat or guitar. “He was one of eight kids and he just really loved cowboy music,� said nephew Jon Streepy, a 73-year-old who still lives in Carbonado. “When I was young, I asked Uncle Bob to teach me to play the guitar, and he said he couldn’t. He’d never learned to read music or play correctly – he played everything by ear. “He never really stopped singing, though. The family said you could give him any subject, and he’d write a song for you on the spot.� By the 1920s, Bob Streepy was playing on a small Iowa radio station – KBIZ in Ottumwa – though he wasn’t yet Arizona Joe. That came after Bob left Iowa in the late ‘20s, singing his way across country. Playing in taverns along the way, Bob apparently visited Arizona for the first time – and by the time he wound up in Pierce County’s Carbonado around 1929, he’d acquired a wife and a new stage name. When Arizona Joe made stage appearances throughout the Northwest, he’d occasionally round up a few musicians from the area to accompany him. More often, he and his wife, Verna, were all the band he needed. “Bob played the guitar and mouth trumpet – he could sound just like a horn, and did it on a number of his recordings,� Jon Streepy said. “Verna played the spoons and the matchbook.� The matchbook? “She’d fold the matchbook cover over to the backside and strum the matches,� Jon said. Bob settled in Carbonado, then a small coal mining town of about 400, and liked it so much he talked his parents and much of his family into coming west and resettling there, too. Though he and Verna never had children,

they had nieces and nephews to dote on, and did so. “One of my first memories of Uncle Bob was of him making me a go cart out of an old-fashioned baby carriage,� Jon said. In 1930, Bob listed himself as a miner on a U.S. census report. A few years later, he changed that to ‘artist.’ Cowboy? That never came up until he slung his guitar over one shoulder and began playing Get Along Little Doggie, Mexicali Rose or The Steer’s Lament. To expand opportunities – on and off the air – Bob bought a pair of horses and with them appeared on promotional radio posters and when he played the rodeo circuit. One of those was a black and white pinto named Umatilla Kosh Kosh, a temperamental beast. Once, Bob approached the horse with a saddle, and Kosh Kosh reared up and knocked him cold. “Uncle Bob was so mad he told my brother to sell the horse – and sell him for $10,� Jon said. When World War II broke out, Bob – about 5-foot-4 and stocky – enlisted in the Navy, telling Verna he was going to see the world. The Navy had other ideas, and Bob was soon stationed in Seattle as a singing recruiter. His radio career stretched into the late ‘40s, and Bob was still singing around the Northwest in the 1950s. He and Verena bought a small tavern in Enumclaw – The Golden Pony – and would entertain and tend bar. In the mid ‘50s, it burned down. Bob then took a job as a camp cook with the Washington State Highway Department, working five days a week. When he wasn’t cooking, he was playing guitar and singing for his fellow workers. By the ‘60s, cowboy music was on the fade, though Bob and Verna hosted family sing-a-longs every Sunday in Carbonado and still made local appearances. Verna died in 1970 and was buried in Carbonado. Bob, then 64, remarried – taking the widow of Verna’s brother, Jackie, as his second wife. The marriage was short-lived

Local Restaurants NORTHWEST LUMPIA BRINGS FILIPINO DELICACY TO THE CITY OF DESTINY By Erica Cooley Special to Tacoma Weekly

S

ince first being established in August 2011 by Charles and Rebecca Marbas, Northwest Lumpia has been serving Tacoma locals this unique and appetizing delicacy. If you are not familiar with this choice food called lumpia, it is a Filipino cuisine stemming from the Filipino word “Lumpiang Prito,� which translates to “fried spring roll� in English. Imagine a flavorful filling rolled in a thin crepe-style wrapper then deep fried to a golden brown perfection – this is lumpia. Let your imagination run wild and your taste buds salivate over this scrumptious finger food with hot, crunchy goodness on the outside and moist, tasty filling inside. Marbas states, “Our vision is to create a lumpia specialty shop offering a variety of fusion lumpia flavors.� Northwest Lumpia has 11 fusion flavors always on the menu. Northwest Lumpia’s classic 11 rolls on the menu at all times include fusion rolls such as Angel’s Original, a combination of ground beef, carrots, peas, and potatoes. Marbas states about Angel’s Original roll, “[This combination creates] a bolder, darker and salty flavor. This is my dad’s family recipe, and our interpretation of the more traditional style [lumpia].� Or try more family reci-

pes such as Siopao Mix, a combination of ground pork, peas, and carrots. This roll is a spin on Carne Asada flavor found in their family recipe of the Filipono steamed bun with a slight touch of sweet and salty for the perfect fusion of flavors in one savory fried roll. As the leader in fusion lumpia in the Pacific Northwest, if everyday menu favorites like Mojo Crillo and Brown Sugared Banana haven’t gotten your mouth watering, just wait until you hear about the nearly 30 rotating daily special rolls and more fusion flavors being added every week. Northwest Lumpia never ceases to keep its customers coming back for more interesting fusions with specialty rolls like Leche Flan, Guava & Cheese, Cassava Cake, Lobster and Cheese, Vegan Delight, Big G’s Philly Cheese, Jalapeno and Cheese, Pizza Crunch, Moose Burger, Pumpkin Spice Flan, Sriracha Pork, and many more being added every week. Customers may place special orders for any of the rotating flavors in advance by phone (specialty orders require a minimum of 60 lumpias and 48 hours before intended pickup). Lumpia is a great delicacy for your next party or event and with so many different fusion flavors there is bound to be a lumpia roll that everyone will enjoy. Northwest Lumpia is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, located at 1607 Center St. in Tacoma. For full menu and more information, visit www. northwestlumpia.com or call (253) 341-0234 for orders.

Our View

Unnamed killer, yoU have United the world We won’t print your name in hopes that it will fade from memory, never to be mentioned again. But we want to thank you, not for what you did. Certainly not that. But we want to thank you for the outpouring of love your terrible act brought the globe. Your agenda to infect the world with fear has failed miserably. You couldn’t imagine that when you walked into Orlando’s Pulse nightclub last weekend and killed 50 people in cold blood, and immediately wounded just as many that people from every continent, would respond with love, not only for the victims but for their own neighbors, friends and relatives. The world got smaller through your actions. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, "We are firmly determined, even when such murderous attacks put us into deep sorrow, to continue with our open, tolerant life.� Paris’ Eiffel Tower shined in the rainbow colors of the gay rights movement, while France’s President Francois Hollande vowed to fight at the side of the American people against the terrorism and beliefs you professed to champion. The world's largest group to represent the Muslim faith, the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, disavowed your “horrible act� as a bastardization of the teachings of a peaceful and tolerant faith. Members of the lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender and questioning community around the globe now know that they are not alone. They now know that there is a once-sleeping giant of supporters and friends that stands shoulder to shoulder with them in the fight for equality and acceptance and universal love and inclusion. Candlelight vigils, prayers to various Gods in countless languages lifted up your victims and bound the world, maybe just for a moment, on the idea that love will always win. It must always win. Sure, you dealt the idea of universal love a right hook. But we are still standing. We are growing stronger. Your actions sparked vile responses in others, who vilified the peaceful God you claimed to have held dear while you pulled that AR-15 trigger again and again and again and again and again only to reload and fire again and again and again and again. Your God did not order you to kill others simply because they loved the people they loved. You did that yourself. You cowardly chose hate and violence against innocence rather than peace. But in doing so, the world grieves for your victims and vows to turn those tears into action in their names – on their streets – and for the cause of love. That fight will be won. Your victims will be remembered. You will not. But we thank you for forwarding the cause of love and equality and acceptance and understanding – causes you hated so passionately. There are more of us than there are of you and your ilk, so in that respect, we have already won. Love has won and is growing stronger. Tacomans have an opportunity to illustrate that winning streak by celebrating Tacoma Pride in July. This 10th annual event was already set to be the largest in the city’s history. The senseless shooting of our neighbors, loves and friends will ensure that and that the movement toward acceptance will not only continue, but accelerate. Thank you unnamed killer, thank you. You ensured that love will always win.

the LnG ‘fAiRY tALe’ AS toLd bY PSe By Steven Storms While there is an element of truth in many “Fairy Tales,� the information that is coming from Puget Sound Energy (PSE) would put the Grimms to shame. They have been picking and choosing the information they want to share and telling half-truths enough to make the proposed LNG plant sound like rainbows, butterflies and unicorns. But just like the Grimm’s Fairy Tales, there is a much darker side. FAIRY TALE #1: The liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant is an environmentally friendly fuel. It will reduce pollution in Tacoma and reduce emissions from ships. FACT #1: While natural gas was a leading candidate for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) a few years ago, it has been shown to actually increase GHG when looking at the life cycle impact, mostly from the fracking wells that produce it. The only benefit they could actually state is from emission of the ships that use it. This would not help the Tacoma emissions very much because the ships are not running when in the port, so only when they arrive and depart would there be any benefit. The methane leakage from fracking wells and pipeline transportation would more than offset any small benefits from using LNG on a couple of ships. FAIRY TALE #2: LNG is not flammable. FACT #2: The statement is literally correct, but not a full or truthful explanation. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled and converted to a liquid at -260 degrees F. It will not burn until it warms and vaporizes and turns into natural gas again. As natural gas, it burns very well. That is its purpose. You probably use it on your stove or hot water tank. It is also the gas that blew up a several block radius in downtown Greenwood last month due to a leak. When it changes from a liquid to a gas it expands by 600 times, so a one gallon spill will become 600 gallons of natural gas, which only needs oxygen to burn. If the planned 8 million gallon storage tank of LNG were to leak, it would become 4,800,000,000 gallons of natural gas that will burn. FAIRY TALE #3: There is no danger to the public outside of the plant perimeter. FACT #3: First they will not share how their computer modeling was done or what the assumptions were. They claim that sharing it will disclose proprietary information. They also claim that it could provide to terrorists enough information that they could do damage. If they are worried that a terrorist could do significant damage they are right. The Federal Homeland Security Department considers LNG plants a potential terrorist target, because it could cripple significant shipping in the U.S. That is not the story that PSE is trying to tell. PSE quotes that they used the information from a Sandia

Study for their data. The same Sandia National Laboratory was asked to do a report on the “Consequences of a Terrorist Attack.� None of this information made into the PSE report to the public. FAIRY TALE #4: They claim their 250-foot danger zone is correct and that the three-mile danger zone map that has been published is highly fictional. FACT #4: There are several dangers that could come from locating the plant in the tide flats. Results from the PSE computer modeling show that a mere 250 foot danger zone along with the safety design features will be sufficient to protect the public. When questioned how the worst-case scenario would only need a 250-foot zone, it was revealed that this case was for only a refrigerant tank explosion. They did not model what would happen if the 8 million gallon storage tank had a failure and leaked LNG. This catastrophic type of leak is a real possibility. (To show the absurdity of their claim, it would take a 500-foot tall wall around the plant to contain the eight million gallons of LNG after it vaporized back into natural gas.) A storage tank rupture could be caused by accidents or even terrorist attacks. This is a major concern of the US Government Accounting Office that hired Sandia for a study. There are several potential hazards that were investigated, but two were of very significant concerns. First, there is a “vapor pool fire.� This is caused when a spill of LNG liquid pools on the ground or water and burns as the liquid changes to a vapor. This can cause a very extreme heat that is over 3000 degrees F and is very dangerous to equipment or people that are close to it. The heat danger is typically defined in two zones. Zone 1 is for property and equipment damage. “The analyses present hazard distances for heat flux levels of 37.5 kW/m2 and 5 kW/m2. The 37.5 kW/m2 value is a level at which process equipment is damaged after 10 minutes of exposure, and is currently considered to represent the extent of hazards to structures and equipment.� This would cause fires, melting and warping. Zone 2 is for personal damage. “The 5 kW/m2 value is a level at which second degree burns occur on bare skin after 30 seconds of exposure, and is currently considered to represent the extent of hazards to people in an open area.� From the Sandia report, a nominal storage tank rupture calculated the zone 1 distance to be 446 meters and the zone 2 distance would be 1344 meters. To restate the information, a rupture would give people second-degree burns in 30 seconds at a distance of 1344 meters or 4409 feet. This towering fire is so hot, that a person would roast like a marshmallow up to 1 mile away. This is definitely not the 250 feet that PSE is touting. The second danger is the potential vapor cloud explosion. This is caused by a leak that does not immediately catch on fire. The LNG vaporizes and

expands into a vapor cloud that drifts along the ground or water. If it happens to find an ignition source (something as simple as a cell phone, a light switch or a motor) before it dissipates, it can cause a fire/explosion. This is dependent on many factors including the rate of LNG discharge and the wind. It also can cause a very large area of damage. Many calculations have shown this to be in the range of 3 to 6 miles from the leak. (Some experts’ calculations go much further under the right conditions.) This could easily encompass all of the port, much of Tacoma, Fife and Milton, including schools, hospitals, fire stations and detention centers. FAIRY TALE #5: PSE and the Port of Tacoma are looking out for our best interest. They are like neighbors and share our concerns. FACT #5: Both PSE and POT have insulated themselves from any major liabilities with “held harmless� clauses in the contracts. The Port Commissioners, in the lease, are held harmless from any disaster that might occur. PSE is held harmless for any acts of God, acts of war, any terrorist or any third party actions. These are exactly the problems that we are concerned about. (Earthquakes, tsunamis, lahars, terrorist and even third part accidents such as railroad car derailments, or tanker trucks accidents.) It is easy to give a sympathetic ear to our concerns, when you do not have any liability for the outcome. CONCLUSION The location of the LNG in such a highly populated area has been a major concern. Most of the new peakshaving facilities have been located in remote areas, because the only thing that is required is the LNG storage tank. PSE is risking the lives and property of thousands of people in order to produce extra capacity to service two (2) Tote ships that want to convert to LNG. That is a risk that should not be taken. The location risk is too great for both the residential and industrial neighbors such as the Targa Oil Refinery that contains another 30-40 million gallons of fossil fuels that would be exposed. If PSE requires extra storage capacity to service their “household� customers, it does not need to be in the port. It is ironic that they say they want to build this plant to service their customers while at the same time they are risking their customer’s lives to do it. That is the biggest fairy tale of all.

would be about 8,000 a day. The route woud have stops around Sprague Avenue, Union Avenue, Stevens Street, Pearl Street and Tacoma Community College, which serves as a hub for local bus routes. Trains would run about every six minutes. A previous draft of the plan called for larger-capacity light rail cars, but the current proposal calls for using the current cars and adding eight more cars to the fleet to serve the line. Increased economic activity follows light rail tracks, since trains running those tracks bring more people to areas around the station, as well as cut back on vehicular traffic congestion. The tracks to TCC are no different, expected to bring business opportunity and commerce to Fircrest, the western edge of Tacoma and University Place. “While we do not have a detailed economic forecast for what increased ridership will bring, we do know that this will be a great amenity towards the sub area district plan for this northeast corner of UP,” University Place Economic Development Director Mariza Craig said. While the timeline for the new tracks calls for trains to start more than a decade from now, the city is already

planning for its impact by making it a central part of its sub-area plan. The city is required by state law to plan for accommodating 22,000 residents and about 15,000 jobs by 2040. “That’s like a doubling of the city,” Craig said. The work on planning for that growth includes partnerships with TCC and projections on travel patterns and ridership of the light rail line would create. “It enhances economic opportunities,” Craig said, noting that the business development would not only come to the area around the station, but also include Bridgeport Way and the city’s town center. Other local projects would further link the suburbs with Tacoma and the rest of Puget Sound. Extensions of rail service from downtown Tacoma to Federal Way would be completed four years sooner, for example. The new timeline shows trains could run by 2030, providing a link between Pierce County and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport through rail connections at a cost of up to $823 million. This route would include stops in Fife that would provided warehouse workers and employees on the Tacoma tideflats to use mass transit instead of their cars as well as provide tourists easier access from the airport, their local hotels and destination attractions including the Tacoma Dome, Emerald Queen Casino and Tacoma’s museums.

with access to power and water. The City of Tacoma was also named in the lawsuit because the City Clerk cleared the initiatives to start gathering signatures, but city officials have since announced plans to defend itself with the legal argument that state law does not allow cities to determine if the results of a petition efforts are legal, just that it should follow an initiative process. 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 lawsuit against them not only seeks petitioners to stop gathering signatures, but also seeks to recoup the costs of the suit from the non-profit Save Tacoma Water and its volunteers. “It has had a chilling effect,” Bockwinkel said about the lawsuit and the threat of volunteers having to pay the attorney fees the port, chamber and EDB have incurred. “There is no doubt about that.”

TIdEflATS. The recent controversies about a planned

methanol plant, a liquefied natural gas facility and increased traffic of oil trains through the tideflats, citizens are calling for a long-range plan for the area. The city is in the planning stages of a sub-area plan that would address many of those issues.

But further appeals are almost certain. “They don’t want the community to know, and it’s not because they are afraid of terrorism,” Carlton said. “This is a safety issue.” The now-silent methanol controversy and the current LNG debate raises questions about many citizens and city officials about a broader discussion concerning the future of the tideflats. City Manager TC Broadnax mentioned at the council meeting that the city and port are working on an interlocal agreement about notification and communication about large developments on the tideflats as well as will start a sub-area, “visioning” plan process to discuss the future of Tacoma’s industrial and international-trade hub. “We want to do that,” he said. “I think it is required in terms of expectations.”

There was little sign of that chilling at the Citizens’ Forum at Tacoma City Council meeting on Tuesday, where about 40 people spoke out against the lawsuit filed against the effort of gathering signatures for the watervoting initiatives. “We believe the citizens of Tacoma should have a decision-making voice whenever it comes to such vital utilities as water, especially in an era of worsening drought conditions caused by climate change,” Save Tacoma Water organizer Michael Lafreniere read from a letter signed by 21 supporters. “It should be noted that in 1930, the first citizen’s initiative in the state created the public utility districts to conserve the water and power resources of the State of Washington for the benefit of the people. Now, however, the City Council has joined a lawsuit by the Port of Tacoma and business groups against the voters of this city to challenge these initiatives and to block access to the ballot. … To join the port’s lawsuit condones The Port of Tacoma is offering free boat a legal challenge that will empower the courts – most tours of the waterway during five sailings during likely a single judge – to decide a legislative matter that is the Maritime Festival along the Foss Waterway meant to be settled in an up or down vote at the ballot box. on July 17.

PSE sued to block the release by citing that the data included proprietary information, as well as proposing that releasing safety details could make the plant a target for terrorist attacks. A judge has largely rejected that argument but allowed time for PSE to appeal the disclosure order.

This lawsuit is really a direct assault against direct democracy, free speech rights, the right to vote, and the right of local community self-government, which affects everyone in Tacoma.” Fight for democracy and your vote.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR

SUPPORT TACOMA!

We would like to thank the people of Pierce County and the City of Tacoma for your support in stopping the methanol plant. We have a long way to go, as there still environmental issues that greatly concern us including the number of oil trains that travel through the Port of Tacoma. Just late last month an oil train derailed at the Port illustrating the potential environmental disaster that could result in a spill bringing devastation for years to come. We live in an area that has a high risk for a massive earthquake. With the possible construction at the Port of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant that would import millions of gallons of natural gas, we are putting our city and the entire region at risk. Let’s keep working for a clean Tacoma!

he matchups for Battle at the Boat 106 looked pretty good on paper heading into fight night on Saturday, June 11. While it wasn’t a huge card, with six fights on the bill, each bout seemed to have some nice potential for excitement. When the dust settled on a relatively quick night of work at the Emerald Queen Casino Showroom, the fight fans in attendance got their money’s worth with four fights going the distance and a couple of knockouts thrown in for good measure. Earlier in the day, legendary champion Muhammad Ali had been laid to rest in Louisville. A short stint at the hospital would prove to be a final trip for the 74-year-old icon. While his health had not been exemplary for quite some time, his passing was still a shock to sports fans, as well as the world at large. Just a week prior, longtime Tacoma sports icon and boxing aficionado, Stan Naccarato had passed away at the age of 88. To pay homage to the two men, the folks over at Halquist Productions brought in 1972 Olympic gold medalist Sugar Ray Seales to say a few words about Naccarato. Seales was joined in the ring by former heavyweight contender Joe Hipp, boxing matchmaker Andy Nance and Naccarato’s widow, Jeanne Naccarato. Seales remembered Stan as a teacher, and said that every time he opened his mouth there was something to be learned from it. Jeanne thanked the crowd for all the support and well wishes and closed out her remarks with Stan’s famous go-to line “look at those shoes!” Both Ali and Nacarrato received a ceremonial 10 chimes of the ringside bell during a moment of silence. Other than that moving moment, things were anything but silent throughout the night at the EQC. The night kicked off with a 185-pound matchup between two relative newcomers. Will

kNOckOUt! (top) Jonathan Chicas lands a big shot on Virgil Green. The two welterweights put together an active, exciting performance over the full 10 rounds of Battle at the Boat 106's main event. In the end, the judges saw gave Chicas the unanimous decision. (middle) Buckley's Jeremy McCleary (facing) had his hands full with newcomer Giovanni Cabrera Mioletti. "Gio" proved to be to fast and too slick for McCleary and owned all four rounds on his way to a landslide unanimous decision. (bottom) In attendance was legendary boxer Sugar Ray Seales. A 1972 Olympic gold medalist at 139 pounds, Seales compiled an astonishing 33812 amateur record and then became a top-ranked middleweight contender in the pro ranks finishing with a 57-8-3 record.

As their season nears the midpoint, the Sounders U23 have delivered some strong performances while also losing their focus occasionally on the way to their current 3-3-0 record. With eight games remaining in their national Premier Developmental League (PDL) season, the team is sitting in a third place tie with the Victoria Highlanders FC and Washington Crossfire. Having played one game fewer than the other two, the Sounders U23 look like a strong contender to make the playoffs again this season, if they can just find their groove. The Northwest Division of the PDL will send three teams into the postseason, with second and third place battling it out for the second seed to the Western Conference regional tournament. Last season, the Sounders U23 finished the regular season in third place and then upset then second-place Portland Timbers U23 in their loser-out playoff match. It was at this point when the Sounders U23 really began to catch fire. The team headed to Tucson to face the best PDL clubs from the West Coast, and when the smoke cleared, the Sounders U23 brought the Western Conference championship trophy back to the Puget Sound. The club would then host the PDL national final four at Starfire Stadium in Tukwila. Despite missing Jonathan Campbell, possibly their most valuable player, the Sounders U23 took eventual champion K-W United FC to the wire, falling 1-0 on a goal in the final moments of regulation. Campbell would go on to be drafted 12th in the MLS SuperDraft by the Chicago Fire, whom he has started 11 of 12 games for thus far this season. So where is the team heading this season? If last season is any indicator, the team looks very similar to the squad that struggled at times and squeezed into a third-place finish to close the season. Head coach Darren Sawatzky is well-known for planning out the “big picture” when it comes to his teams, their progress and where he wants them to be when it’s time to hit the gas pedal. One thing very clear with this year’s club is that the number of new names on the roster greatly outnumbers those of returning players. Two of the cornerstones of last season’s success were forward Guillermo Delgado and goalkeeper Paul Christensen, and fortune has smiled on the Sounders U23, as they have returned for another run at a title. The first thing the Sounders U23 is going to need to do to start moving up the standings is stringing a couple of wins together. So far this season, the U23’s have won a match, only to follow it up with a loss.

KARLI WHITE LEADS UNDEFEATED SOUNDERS WOMEN TO ANOTHER WIN

The Sounders Women are undefeated so far in their initial foray into the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL). Karli White has distinguished herself as the go to striker for the Sounders Women as she has punched in six goals in the first four games to lead the team to its first place position in the WPSL Northwest Division. On Saturday afternoon, June 11, the Sounders Women played the Portland Spartans at Mercer Island high school and defeated the team from down south 7-0 in dominating fashion. The game was preceded by a clinic put on by Sounders Women players and the community on Mercer Island came out to watch the first place Sounders Women bang in some goals. White finished with a hat trick on the day with Megan Connolly, Kate Bennett, and Mora Johnson also adding goals. With a quick turn-around, the Sounders Women played the Eugene Timbers at Starfire Stadium and again, found themselves in the right side of victory. With the 4-0 win, the Sounders Women sit alone at the top of the table in the WPSL Northwest Division. With White on fire and a roster full of future stars in the game, the Sounders Women will look to take their success on the road this weekend playing at the Issaquah Gunners. The Gunners have given the Sounders Women their best test with a tightly contested 2-1 for the Sounders Women last weekend. Game time is 7 p.m. at Issaquah high school on June 17. The Sounders Women play the next three games on the road but return to Starfire Stadium on June 28 at 6:30 p.m. For tickets and information, please go to www. sounderswomen.com.

LUTES FINISH SEASON IN NATIONAL RANKINGS FOLLOWING WESTERN REGIONALS

After a successful run to the West Regional Finals, the Pacific Lutheran baseball team finished the season ranked 22nd in nation. In addition to multiple conference, regional and national recognitions, the program honored two graduating seniors with a new award. Cory Nelson and Drew Oord have been voted by their teammates as the first ever O.T. Harstad MVP award winners. The honor, established by long-time PLU donor and alumnus Ted Johnson, is named for the first PLU student to reach the professional levels in any sport in school history. The son of PLU founder, Bjug, Harstad made 32 appearances for the Cleveland Indians and retired with a 3.40 ERA. “It was a shock,” said Nelson. “My teammates voted on it when I had left early for class one day, so I had no idea. It’s pretty cool to get the first ever OT Harstad MVP award.” “It means a lot,” added Oord. “Our team is full of leaders. We don’t have captains; we have a leadership squad. It shows you how mature this team is. When something like that happens you feel the love and respect you have from your teammates. Knowing that you have all those guys behind you lets you know that nobody is ever going to quit on anybody. It pushes you through the year. So many guys could have won this award, it was a little shocking, but it was nice.” The award is designed to acknowledge both the performance on the field, and leadership off. When voting occurred, Cory Nelson was leading the NWC with a regular season 2.32 earned run average. He also won six games in in his 13 starts. “Cory had a better year by far,” said Oord. “It wasn’t even close. Cory shut down non-conference and conference teams. I went through slumps, and had bad weekends, but Cory stayed consistent throughout the year.” Oord was a menace at the plate. The left-handed hitter batted .346 on the season, with three home runs and 31 runs batted in. He also showed versatility in the field playing both first base and left field. “I think Drew had the better year,” said Nelson. “I don’t hit anymore. I know how hard it is to hit and to be that consistent and put up numbers like that. He did it for all four years, too. He’s a great competitor at the plate.” “We voted on the two best guys who fit the criteria,” said Nolan Soete, PLU head coach. “One had to be a pitcher, the other a position guy. Cory had the best all-around year on the mound. Drew had a great year defensively and offensively. Both are great players for this program and they will be missed. I thought it was fitting that the first winners of that award are seniors on a very successful team.” Half of the award is concerned with on the field play. The other half is concerned with the leadership qualities of its recipients. Both players reflected on their styles of leadership, and the challenges that come with the extra responsibility of being a leader. “At certain times, there are things you have to deal with,” said Oord. “We have a very mature team this year. It stems from the older guys down to the younger guys where maturity and leadership goes throughout. The younger guys picked up on it really quick making our job much easier. The leadership squad of eight or 10 guys allows us to talk through situations with several people, which creates a lot of sides to the conversation as far as how we should or shouldn’t handle something. The supporting cast around you is what really helps get you through the season.” “Drew is a lot more of a vocal leader than I am,” added Nelson. “I tried to sit back behind everyone and lead by example. Hopefully if they see me doing the right things, they will want to copy what I am doing and do it too.” “Drew has been our best all-around leader,” said Soete. “He is the heart and soul of this team. Cory stepped up in a big way. He knew he’d be in the rotation, but he didn’t know he would be the number one guy.” “Coach gave us a little history lesson on Harstad being the first person from PLU to play a professional sport, and it just happened to be baseball,” shared Nelson. “It’s a unique thing to be able to continue the legacy for him or anybody that has ever played at PLU. We stand on the shoulders that came before us, and we wouldn’t be here without any of the other players who have played here. It feels really good.” As the first winners of the honor, Nelson and Oord’s names now appear on a trophy that will live in the baseball team room. The goal is to continue to honor and inspire future Lutes to seek greatness both on and off the field. “I don’t think you could have two better players to be the inaugural winners of the award,” added Soete. “They both represent the program the right way. Great people on and off the field, both are great students and great ball players. I’m glad they got the award voted by the players because those are the two players I would have picked myself.” Both players played key roles in the Lutes’ winning the Northwest Conference Tournament and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament for the second-consecutive year. The Lutes finished 29-19 and made the West Regional Finals in their third post-season appearance in program history.

The month of June hasn’t exactly been a delight for the Tacoma Rainiers’ record, but with all of the other great things going on around the organization, the current 6-7 mark by the ball club doesn’t really look so bad overall. With a team still sitting in first place in the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific Northern Division, as well as the incredible news that Tacoma will host the 2017 Triple-A All Star Game, it’s definitely a great time to be a Rainiers’ fan. Right out of the gates, let’s get the 2017 All Star Game information out there. On Monday, July 10, the Pacific Coast League all-stars will square off against the International League all-stars in the Home Run Derby at Cheney Stadium. Two days later, the teams take to the field for the actual game on July 12. The idea of the best sluggers in Triple-A taking some powerful swings at the Cheney center field mammoth wall has got this writer already seeing “once in a lifetime” written all over it.

There are currently a couple of avenues to gain access to these events. Season ticket holders will have tickets for both nights set aside for them as part of their season ticket package. For those that can’t foot that kind of bill, the Rainiers have put together a rather enticing ticket package that is a great value, but it’s not going to be available for long. For $125, you get a ticket to the Home Run Derby, the All Star Game, as well as five tickets for a 2016 game this summer. This package will also give the buyer priority access to 2017 season tickets, if they wish to go for the upgrade at a later date. In its current form, the Triple-A All Star Game has never been held in Tacoma. One of the real special additions to this news is that the game itself will be broadcast live on the MLB Network. It also just so happens to be at the end of the Major League Baseball All Star break, and the game will showcase Tacoma and Cheney Stadium on a night with no other major sports competition on television. Tacoma (36-28) will be returning home

STAN NACCARATO 1928 - 2016 This year’s 4th of July Freedom Fair and Air Show fireworks display will be dedicated to the memory of Stan Naccarato, who passed away on May 25th, 2016 at age 88. Stan was an integral part of the production of this award winning event for many years, and he especially enjoyed the fireworks display. He had a tireless and consistent presence around Tacoma circles for over sixty years. He will truly be missed! If you would like to donate to the 2016 Freedom Fair fireworks show on the 4th of July in memory of Stan Naccarato, please mail a check to Freedom Fair, 4109 E-7, Bridgeport Way West, University Place, WA 98466, or see our donation page at freedomfair.com to make a donation through PayPal.

to Cheney Stadium on Friday, June 17 for a four game series with the Fresno Grizzlies (28-35). The Rainiers’ last home stand wasn’t exactly kind to the team, considering they entered the four-game tilt against the Reno Aces with the best home record in the PCL. While they dropped three out of four games against the surging Aces, the Rainiers still boast the best home mark at 22-9. However, as of this issue of the Tacoma Weekly, Tacoma’s lead over the Aces in the standings has dwindled to just two games separating the two. A second-half of the season with every game bearing huge implications on a possible championship sounds like an exceptional summer of baseball. The last series against the Aces also saw a bit of wet weather roll through the Puget Sound. The upcoming series with the Grizzlies is forecasted to kick off with temperatures in the 60’s and moving into the 80’s by Monday’s final game. Friday night’s game will be followed by a free fireworks show, so expect a bit longer night, and also prepare for a big crowd. Friday night’s game

is also Boy Scout Night. Saturday, June 18 is a “Silver Bullet Saturday.” For just $20 fans can get a ticket to the “R Yard,” a 12-ounce Coors Light (if they are 21 and over), as well as a collectible T-shirt. It’s one of the best deals in baseball, period. For the young ones, Saturday is also Girl Scout Night. It’s still a couple of weeks away, but it’s probably a pretty good idea to mark down Thursday, June 30 on the calendar right now. The Rainiers will be celebrating Ken Griffey Jr. Night and the first 2,500 fans through the gates will receive a Ken Griffey Jr. bobblehead commemorating his single game stint with the Tacoma Rainiers in 1995. There’s no official word about Griffey himself actually showing up, but we can all hope and cross our fingers. Edgar Martinez came out for the season opener last year, so anything is possible. Cheney is on pace to set a new attendance record this season if the weather holds out, along with a team in a race for the PCL pennant. Make sure you’re not left in the dust when July and August roll in and the Rainiers play 30 games on Tyler Street over the next two months.

From page A12

Marshall would be making his second professional appearance, while his opponent Damian Savino was making his debut. A strong contingent of British supporters were in the audience to support Marshall, who entered the ring with the Union Jack draped over his shoulders. Meanwhile, Savino entered the ring wearing the smallest pair of boxing trunks I have ever seen. Perhaps they were left at his home in Portland and he had to borrow a pair. The bottom line was that they looked uncomfortable. The two fighters came out swinging and Marshall found himself on the early end of some shots to the face that stunned the Brit. A straight left to the jaw dropped Marshall to the canvas, but he looked more surprised than hurt and got back to his feet. Marshall would then ramp up his own attack and a flurry of blows would send Savino to the mat. It was a pair of wobbly legs that got Savino back to his feet, and he showed just enough for the referee to continue the fight. Marshall wasted no time and bum-rushed Savino (0-1-0), raining down several blows capped by a right hand that caught him around the ear and sent him straight to the canvas. The referee had seen enough and stopped the fight as Marshall (1-1-0) evened up his record. Up second would be a bout that had lost a little bit of its luster for me, as Will Hughes became a late replacement for local Golden Gloves champion Andre Keys. The matchup at 149-pounds against a dangerous Antonio Neal was going to be quite the test for Keys, and I was looking forward to seeing where his fight game was at. While I didn’t expect much from the fight, with the change happening the week of the bout, I should have known

t Sounders

a cagey veteran like Hughes would give the match and the crowd everything he had. Hughes appeared to lose some steam several times during the four rounder, yet seemed to catch his wind and was back on his toes and trying to find some daylight through Neal’s tough defense. In the end, Neal (4-5-0) was far more consistent from the opening bell to the end, and scored a unanimous decision over Hughes (5-5-0). The third fight of the night was the most surprising. Jeremy McCleary, the “Pride of Buckley�, would be making his 11th appearance at the EQC and he was looking to bounce back from a recent string of mixed performances. After beginning his career a perfect 6-0, the young slugger had gone 2-2 in his last four bouts, including two losses via technical knockout. His opponent this evening would be a littleknown fighter named Giovanni Cabrera Mioletti, otherwise known as “Gio�, from Chicago. The fighters both came in at 130 pounds, but the eye test said McCleary was considerably thicker. From the get-to, Gio was determined to put on a show. Whether fighting from a right-handed or southpaw stance, the 21-year old repeatedly stung McCleary with shot after shot. A left to the chin sent McCleary down to the canvas and the crowd was nearly as stunned as McCleary himself. The local favorite got back up, looking angrier at himself than hurt and the two fighters got back to it. By the end of the first round, McCleary had a nasty cut on the bridge of his nose that would prove to be a bleeder for the remainder of the fight. The next three rounds were all Gio, as the newcomer proved to be too quick and slippery for McCleary to get a glove on. After witnessing the speed of McCleary in some of his early bouts, at 22 years old,

They’ve done this three times now, and if the team hopes to keep themselves in the postseason hunt, things are going to have to change. They nearly broke away from this win/lose streak on Friday, June 10 as the Sounders U23 hosted Washington Crossfire. After controlling much of the action in the first half, including the only legitimate chances on goal, the U23’s were nailed for a penalty 36 minutes into the match and Crossfire was awarded a penalty kick. It was difficult to agree completely with the referee, as there was a tight mix of players in front of the Sounders U23 goal. A Crossfire attacker did hit the turf, but it looked as though he may have been helping himself to the ground a bit. Paul Rohani would knife a blast past Christensen and Crossfire would take a 1-0 lead into halftime. The second half was much like the end of the first, with Crossfire feeling some momentum and finding some more chances at the Sounders U23 goal. Ten minutes into

it’s a real head scratcher as to where all that lightning has gone. Then again, it probably had more to do with an exceptionally fast Gio (2-0-0), who would go on to win the bout with a unanimous decision from the judges. Keep an eye out for this young fighter. If anything, he’s awfully exciting. I wouldn’t write off McCleary (8-3-0) either. The kid has plenty of time to get back to where he was and find some additional pop in his gloves. The fourth fight of the night was a rematch between Andres Reyes of Yakima and Marco Cardenas of Salem. Reyes (4-1-1) had scored a split decision in their previous meeting in November of 2014, and Cardenas looked (5-5-1) like he was ready for some payback. As the four-round 137-pound bout progressed, it became very clear that these two fighters were very well-matched, and had I been a judge, I would have found it to be the most difficult decision of the night. Both fighters hugged and smiled when the final bell rang. You could tell that they knew each had given as good as they got. The judges ruled the bout a majority draw. While the crowd wasn’t crazy about the outcome, I honestly felt it would have been a travesty for either fighter to have suffered a loss from it. It was about as close a fight as I have ever witnessed at the EQC. The fifth bout of the night was a quick and painful affair for Tommy Turner, fighting out of Caldwell, Idaho. Turner would be facing the lightning-quick hands of Isaac Tadeo, one of the rising stars of the Puget Sound. Turner came into the bout with nine fights under his belt, but his experience wasn’t going to help against the devastating shots Tadeo landed to his body. Late in the first round, Tadeo slammed a fist into the side of Turner and it looked like a liver shot. Turner’s face crumpled

the second, Stephen MacDonald would put the Crossfire up 2-0 and things were beginning to look grim for the home side at Sunset Stadium in Sumner. Like the flick of a switch, the Sounders U23 began winning 50/50 balls and started to mount pressure on the Crossfire goal. Following two blasts at the goal that were deflected by Crossfire defenders, Troy Petersen found an opening and stuffed a shot into the back of the net and suddenly the Sounders U23 had new life with 30 minutes remaining in the match trailing 2-1. It would take another 17 minutes for the Sounders U23 to find their equalizer. Delgado crossed a pass over to Jakob Granlund, and the Gonzaga Bulldog finished off the play with the ball in the back of the net. The score was tied at 2-2 with just 13 minutes remaining in regulation. At this time, Franklin Pierce and Pacific Lutheran alum Derek Johnson entered the game for the Sounders U23. It took just a few minutes before Johnson found himself in ripe territory just 10 feet in front of the goal. The Tacoma Star flipped a long throw-in off of his head and it looked as though the home team was about to take the lead.

up in pain like a smashed soda can and the 158-pounder fell to the canvas on his hands and knees. It was one of those shots that almost hurt just to watch. After gathering himself, Turner would get back up, but looked to be in considerable pain as the bell sounded. Tadeo went right back to work on the body in the second round and it would be curtains for Turner. After spinning a full 360-degrees following a roundhouse punch that caught nothing but air, Turner left himself open to Tadeo’s furious fists. A flurry, followed by a hammer-shot to the midsection would send Turner (4-6-0) down for good. I’m looking forward to Tadeo’s next move up the fight ladder as he moved to 8-0-0 in his early pro career. The main event of the evening would pit Jonathan Chicas from San Francisco against Virgil Green, fighting out of Vancouver. The 142-pound fight was a 10-rounder and it would go the distance as both fighters punched through a very active contest. Neither fighter seemed to get much of an edge over the other, and neither looked to ever be in danger during the bout. While Green did eat several impressive shots from his opponent, the shorter Chicas began bleeding from high on his forehead early on, and it gave the appearance that he had been taking a beating, which he really hadn’t. In the end, it would be Chicas taking the unanimous decision over Green in a fight that was solid and active from the opening round to the final bell. Battle at the Boat 107 is set for Saturday, Sept. 10. Tickets are available at the Emerald Queen Casino box office, as well as Ticketmaster. The word around the water cooler is that one of Tacoma’s favorite fighters will be returning to the ring for 107, so mark your calendars now.

With Crossfire goalkeeper Auden Shilder out of position, it looked like a sure thing until a Crossfire defender stuck his leg high in the air to deflect the shot, just as it was about to cross the goal-line. The Sounders U23 would not have to wait long for another golden moment though. With seven minutes left in regulation, Andrew Wheeler-Omiunu beat his man up the left side of the box, and just before he reached the end-line, punched the ball back into the middle of the goal box to find a slashing Delgado on the other end. Delgado launched himself into the air and met the ball perfectly with his head, deflecting it into the goal and the Sounders U23 took a 3-2 lead that they would not relinquish. To keep with their recent tradition, the Sounders U23 then fell to second-place Lane United FC 3-1on Sunday, June 12 down south in Eugene. The boys in rave green and blue look to create a new trend as they return home on Friday, June 17 to host their fierce rival, the Kitsap Pumas. First kick is set for 7:30 p.m. at Sunset Stadium in Sumner. The team will then host the Victoria Highlanders on Sunday, June 19 in Sumner at 7:30 p.m.

PATINKIN RETURNS TO MUSICAL THEATER ROOTS

PHOTOS BY BRIGITTE LA COMBE AND DARELL HOEMANN

‘Princess Bride’ actor promises pop classics, ‘political-free zone’ in Tacoma By Ernest A. Jasmin

B

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

efore he secured our borders in Showtime’s “Homeland” or stalked the six-fingered man in Rob Reiner’s swashbuckling 1987 romance, “The Princess Bride,” Mandy Patinkin was a hit on Broadway. In the early ‘80s, Patinkin scored Tony Awards for his breakout roles as Che in “Evita” and George Seurat from “Sunday in the Park with George,” and it is to those roots in musical theater he’ll that return when he headlines Tacoma’s Pantages Theater on June 24. Recently, the 63-year-old actor revisited some of his most iconic roles and described the process of preparing for the concert he and pianist Adam Ben-David will deliver next week. We also attempted to get the skinny what’s happening next season on “Homeland,” but it appears the show has taught him a thing or two about keeping his cool while under interrogation.

TACOMA WEEKLY: Tell us about the show you’re bringing to Broadway Center. PATINKIN: Well, it’s a misnomer. I’ve got to make sure my people don’t call it “Dress Casual” again, because some people think it’s the songs from an album I made, called “Dress Casual.” I don’t know how that slipped by, but

I’ve got about 13, 14 hours of material that I’ve collected over 30 years, written by these wonderful geniuses that are more gifted than I’ll ever be. I get to be the mailman for them; guys like Stephen Sondheim, and Irving Berlin and Paul Simon and Randy Newman and Tom Waits and R.E.M. The list goes on and on.

PATINKIN: I’ve lived a good life, and I have a lot of tales to tell. I’ll say anything that comes into my head. Sometimes I get myself in trouble, and sometimes it comes out OK. (He chuckles.) As a friend of mine said to me once, “If you’re not gonna get up and take a risk – some kind of a risk that day – it’s probably not worth waking up.

TW: What’s the focus of this show? PATINKIN: There’s no focus. There’s just all this material that I’ve collected. I just do songs that speak to me at this moment. I’ll probably put a song list together that I’m doing for a specific period of time, but I often change it. I’ll change it right in the dressing room before we walk out on the stage. I’ll change it while I’m onstage, in the middle of a concert. I may choose a particular song that echoes something we’re all aware of that’s going on in our world. Or I might give a different influence or a different accent to some words that I’m singing because of something we’re all aware of. But I can tell you this: I promised myself and I promised my audience I will not be speaking about the political environment we’re all living in right now. We’ve been suffering for many, many months over these primaries, in both parties … I like to talk about politics, but this is one occasion that I’ve had enough. It’s a politics-free zone for an hour and a half.

TW: Words to live by. If we can transition into some of your acting, you’ve played quite a range of roles over the years, from “Princess Bride,” to “Chicago Hope”- you’ve even co-starred with Elmo. What have been the most fulfilling? PATINKIN: I’m always working on different things, but I would say some of the highlights of my life, acting wise, were getting to be Inigo Montoya in “The Princess Bride” and playing George Seurat with “Sunday in the Park with George,” and playing Saul Berenson in “Homeland.” If I just had one of those I’d be happy, so I’m luckier than I ever dreamed of.

TW: Is there a spoken word aspect? Do you tell stories?

TW: Speaking of “Homeland,” you obviously don’t want to give away any spoilers. But can you provide any insight into how your character grows this season? PATINKIN: He’ll be a year older. (He laughs.) His hair will probably be a little thinner than it was. Other than that, I can’t tell you anything. If I did, I’d have to kill you.

t Patinkin From page B1

TW: I’ve seen a reference to there possibly being parallels between the campaigns going on now and what happens on the show this seasons. PATINKIN: Well, you can feel free to write about anything you’ve read about online - said by anybody - but you won’t hear anything from me. I don’t like to talk about it. Just like my concerts, I don’t like to tell you what you’re gonna hear. I want you to come sit in a seat and hear the story. That’s how I like it. That’s how I like to go to the theater. I don’t like to read the reviews ahead of time. I think that’s the fun way to have a baby, too. I think it’s more fun not to know whether you’re gonna have a boy or a girl, and to just tough it out. You don’t have to have the room all ready, you know. (He chuckles.) TW: Then maybe we’ll go back to an old classic instead. One of the things that shocked me about your most well known role is that you didn’t initially know how to fence when you played Inigo Montoya. PATINKIN: I actually did a little bit because I did it at the Juilliard School of Drama. We studied it for classic theater - for Shakespeare plays – and I had done some, but nowhere near to the degree I studied for “The Princess Bride.� I worked with Henry Harutunian, who was the Olympic Yale fencing coach at Yale. I worked with him for two months, or something like that before I went to England. And then I worked with Bob Anderson who choreographed the whole sequence. We worked for four more months, every day for 10 hours a day when we weren’t shooting. Then we shot it all at the end of the movie, and we did it all ourselves. The only thing we didn’t do was that little flip in the air, but we did the jump and we did the release. That was an Olympic gymnast, but it was a great feeling of accomplishment to learn to that skill. TW: Thirty years later, people still love this movie. When did you realize there was something special beyond the fun of making it? PATINKIN: I was invited out by (director) Rob Reiner and the actors to come to L.A. to see a rough screening. No one had ever asked me to do that before, and I came out. There were markings going across the film and temporary music and things like that, but you could basically see it. I’ll never forget when it was over my wife spotted tears dripping from my eye. She looked at me and said, “What’s the matter? Are you upset?� I said, “No, I just can’t believe that I’m in something like this.� This happened before I had time to dream it; and so I was overwhelmed with the fact that I was in a movie like that, and I loved it. Then the irony was - just like “The Wizard of Oz� and so many other things that became classics – they didn’t know how to market it, and it didn’t do well when it opened. It wasn’t until two years later, when kids at college campuses discovered it and it became a cult favorite.

TW: I know you didn’t want to get into politics, but maybe I’ll ask you from a purely aesthetic standpoint how would you rate Ted Cruz’s impression of your character? (Several YouTube clips capture the presidential hopeful doing impressions from what is apparently one of his favorite films.) PATINKIN: Well, I spoke about that at length in an article in Time Magazine, and time.com online. You can go to that and read everything that I had to say, and it’ll give you a lot more than I have time to say right now. I encouraged the senator to check out my favorite line in the movie that (novelist) William Goldman wrote that no one quotes; this man who believes in carpet bombing and not being concerned by all the people (and) collateral damage. What I asked him to do – since he loves the movie so much – was to look at the line my character, Inigo Montoya, says near the end of the movie: “I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it’s over I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.â€? If they ever did do a sequel, and Inigo Montoya was in it, I think he would be quite finished in the revenge business. For the biggest reason of all, he did get the man who killed his father – he did get the six-fingered man – but it didn’t bring his father back. This hatred, vilifying attitude that so many politicians have towards so many of the wonderful people of the world is ... is a terrible, terrible fear-mongering tactic that brings out the worst of all humanity. We need to all encourage – all of us – to go in the opposite direction, to love our neighbor, to find the common ground we have with them; to reach out to immigrants all over the world and in our own country, as I have done; invite them into your home, your church, your mosque, your synagogue. Welcome them as people welcomed our ancestors to this country, and to stop making up false information and realize that there hasn’t been a single terrorist incident since 9-11 in this country by an immigrant. All of the terrorist incidents have been because of gun violence and lax gun laws and homegrown terrorists. (Note: The Orlando massacre of June 12 had not yet happened at the time of this interview.) I want to just add one other thing: The privilege of being in “Homelandâ€? is I’ve meet security people from our country, from the ‌ CIA, FBI, etc. - and other countries. These are people who are doing their jobs the best they can. If you don’t think there are people in different countries lying in wait, think again. I’ll be the first one to say that I believe it’s necessary to keep our defenses up to the highest degree (but) if you do not keep your humanity up to the exact same level, there will be nothing left to defend.

HIKING 101: TAKE A HIKE THIS SUMMER

PHOTO BY GIBSON KITE

STEP BY STEP. Staircase on the way to Lake Serene. The Central Cascades hike will also take visitors past Bridal Veil Falls. By Matt Kite mattkite@tacomaweekly.com

Summer’s almost here. Time to dust off those old hiking boots, whip up a batch of homemade trail mix and head for the back country. If you’re a nature lover or just someone who appreciates clean air and wide open space, this time of year can only mean one thing: it’s hiking season. If you’re trying to get fit, meanwhile, or hoping to regain a former level of fitness, hiking might be the easiest way to incorporate a little clean living into your routine. Hiking works your body without punishing it, simultaneously strengthening muscles and expanding aerobic capacity. And the benefits extend well beyond toned quads and a low resting heart rate. A good hike can clear your head and help you unwind. A great hike can restore your soul. Thanks to our location here in the City of Destiny, we’re surrounded by world-class hiking trails. Mount Rainier National Park, a 236,381-acre playground with more trails than the average hiker can explore in one lifetime, looms to the southeast. The Olympic Mountains beckon from the other side of the Narrows Bridge. And if you’re willing to drive a little farther, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams to the south and the Central and North Cascades to the north await your exploration. Do waterfalls inspire you? How about alpine lakes, mountain vistas or airy meadows carpeted with wildflowers? A wide variety of spectacular landscapes can be discovered in exchange for a modicum of sweat. And not all of the scenery is on a macro scale. Ancient tree trunks, moss-covered boulders and fallen logs hide treasures of their own. A certain amount of risk is associated with hiking, of course, but a little common sense goes a long way. You’re far more likely to get lost or turn an ankle than be eaten by a bear. Indeed, most hazards of hiking are more mundane than they are exotic. Learn to identify stinging nettles—before your bare legs rub against them. And unless you’re curious what it feels like to contract giardia (trust me: it’s no fun), bring your own water or, assuming there’s water available on the trail, a good water filter or purifier. Which brings us to the ten essentials. You’ve heard of them before, right? You might be unaware that the list keeps evolving. These days, it includes the following: 1, navigational aid like a map in a waterproof

container and a compass or a GPS receiver; 2, sun block, sunglasses and a hat; 3, insulation (hat, gloves and a warm layer of clothing), 4, illumination (headlamp or flashlight, ideally with an LED, plus extra batteries); 5, first-aid kit that includes insect repellant; 6, fire starter (butane lighter or matches in a waterproof container), 7, repair kit and tools (finally, you can use that fancy Swiss army knife!); 8, nutrition (bring more than you think you need); 9, hydration (again, bring more than you think you’ll drink); 10, emergency shelter (a space blanket will do). If that sounds like a lot to carry on your back, hike with a buddy. That way you two can share the load. Just be sure to stick together. Don’t wander off the main trail. Whether you’re hiking alone or in a group, be sure to sign the trail register at the trail head—and let someone know ahead of time where you’re going and when you plan on being back. Finally, a word about trail etiquette. As hiking grows in popularity—and as the population of Greater Pugetopolis continues to explode—the trails become more crowded, especially on weekends and holidays. That means we all have to do our part in protecting our beloved trails. As mentioned above, stay on the main trail. That’s good for your safety but also for the fragile habitat around you. Don’t cut corners. Don’t try to save a few seconds by trampling through vegetation between switchbacks. Stay to the right and let others pass on the left. If you’re coming back down, step aside for hikers on their way up; they’re working harder than you. Yield to runners, mountain bikers and those on horseback. If you’re part of a group, keep your voices low, give others space and leave the stereo at home. If you brought Fido, keep him on a leash. Keep a respectful distance from wildlife, even the vegetarians (a mountain goat gored and killed a hiker in the Olympics just a few years ago). No matter how cute that chipmunk or gray jay is, don’t feed it. And last but not least, pack it out. Your Powerbar wrappers, your orange peels, your dog’s poop—pack it out. All of it. If you do your job, no one will ever know you were there. Matt Kite is an avid hiker and masters runner in Tacoma. Check out 3 Minute Hikes, his hiking channel on YouTube, and find his column here on the third Friday of each month.

New round of artist installations on view in Woolworth windows By Dave R. Davison

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Museum of the Week: Fort Nisqually Living History Museum

dave@tacomaweekly.com

The latest crop of “Artscapesâ€? artists’ installations are on display in the windows of the old Woolworth building. Viewers can experience the work of the four current artists through July 21. Located along South 11th Street in downtown Tacoma, the Woolworth building is sandwiched between Broadway and Commerce Streets. There are three display cases along Broadway and one down the hill and around the corner on the Commerce Street side of the building (near a busy bus stop). It is the latter display case that always seems to have the most interesting installations, perhaps because the space is its own little glass-walled room and allows for artists to be more expansive with their concepts. That case is currently home to a fascinating display of work by Gustavo Martinez, a versatile artist that blends Mesoamerican forms and motifs with an American pop cultural sensibility. Originally from Jalisco, Mexico, Martinez grew up and was educated in the United States. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Art degree from San JosĂŠ State University in San JosĂŠ, Calif. and his Masters of Fine Art from University of Washington, Seattle. Martinez in currently part of the arts faculty of Green River Community College and has connections to the Pilchuck Glass School. Martinez is putting out some dynamic work that features hive-like architecture, mythological creatures and vessels of transportation. (He has worked on a series of amazing, ceramic trains that, sadly, are not part of this exhibit.) The “Artscapesâ€? installation includes a painting and a large charcoal drawing of Martinez’s buildings. These combine Roman arches, bullfighting arenas, mushroomlike towers, and circular tiers that rise one upon the next like a Mesoamerican ziggurat or the biblical Tower of Babel. There is a fantastical ceramic creature with antlers standing atop a little table that has been pieced together with scrap wood and decorative spindles. Mounted on the back wall is a bat winged, gargoyle-like being made of ceramic and metal.

HORNS. One of Gustavo Martinez’s ceramic

creatures stands atop a handmade table in his Woolworth windows installation.

Off to one side is a poor beast of burden with its long, metal legs showing signs of damage. It stands atop a ceramic, gourd-like house and carries one of the mushroom towers on its back. A ceramic model of one of the “Tower of Babel� villages stands in the foreground. In the center of the space is what looks to be an aircraft that is only partially complete: raw, untrimmed fiberglass stretched over portions of a metal framework. Overall, the feel and the tonality of the work evokes the flavor of old Mexico and its deep-rooted synthesis of native and Spanish elements. It is earthy and rustic, yet possessed of a sense of mystery. These dreamlike buildings and beings hold a potentially dangerous power that is not to be treated lightly. Martinez is in contact with something very vital and forceful in his work. In comparison to the work of Martinez, the installation of the other three artists is ephemeral and ethereal. Roger Ralston’s “Sweeping Outlier� is a series of mobiles whose individual, kitelike elements are formed (mostly) by white, translucent paper stretched across sticks of bamboo. Ralston forms geometric shapes of varying complexity. These move as gently as a boat moored on calm water. One of the mobiles includes the oddball element of a yellow, potatolike pod that bristles with sticks that are painted in bands of red, yellow and dark blue.

Equally meditative are Nichole Rathburn’s waveforms constructed of multitudes of beige cloth pieces that are formed into little cones or booties. These are mounted onto wire mesh armatures and are textured by all the loose threads that dangle from their fringes. They are accompanied by a little poem that deals with the topic of emotional loss. The show is rounded off with Lisa Nappa’s “Waterscapes and Sand Tracks.� The waterscapes portion is a series of gigantic paper banners printed with abstract designs of blue and green. They feature circles, bands of raw color and impressionistic stippling. They are something like an abstracted version of Claude Monet’s huge “Water Lilies� installation of paintings. The sand tracks are a long strip of digitally printed imagery of tire tracks in sand. This strip is laid on the floor at the foot of the water banners. The piece is decorative, but seems more interesting as a visual backdrop to things happing in the foreground, like pedestrians walking past the building. It is not really something like a painting that a person would walk up and look at for itself. In the nearby Tollbooth Gallery, a video kiosk, there is a new video by Joel Ong. The current cluster of installations is on view through July 21. For further information visit spaceworkstacoma.com/ projects/installations.

The aromas of fresh baked bread, savory stews, and roasting game will greet guests during Heritage Foodways. Fort guests will get tips for the 21st century from 19th century traditions on seed saving, heirloom gardening, food preservation, butter making and raising backyard chickens. The highlight of the event is the 19th century cooking contest. The Fort’s reenactors will spend the day creating meals on a wood stove, over campfires, and in a brick bake oven. The cooks are competing for the coveted “Golden Skillet� award. A panel of judges shall decide the winner. Judging takes place at 3:30 p.m. Fort cooks will try to sway the judges with the flavor of their dishes and with an entertaining story about how they created their tasty dish at Fort Nisqually in the 1850s. They also score points for historical authenticity and for using produce and herbs directly from the Fort’s gardens. Guests can also visit with reenactors located throughout the Fort to hear about the Fort’s history, play 19th century games, and walk through the Fort’s gardens. Located in Tacoma’s Point Defiance Park, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum is a restoration of the Hudson’s Bay Company outpost on Puget Sound. Guests experience life in Washington Territory during the 1850s. Nine buildings are open to the public, including the Granary and the Factors House, both National Historic Landmarks, and a Visitor Center with Museum Store.

Crafts of the Past: Horn Making June 19, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Glenn Sutt will be demonstrating how animal horn is shaped into powder horns and useful items, such as spoons and cups. He will also show how wire inlay can enhance hard wood items. Sutt is a multitalented craftsman. He built his first muzzle-loading rifle in the living room of his apartment in 1978. He has continued to make replic muzzle loading rifles and pistols. He has also become an accomplished maker of powder horns and other cow horn products. Glenn is active in numerous heritage groups, and is president emeritas of the Fort Nisqually Foundation. Each weekend through September a different artist will be “in-residence� at the Fort with displays and demonstrations of their work. Most will also offer visitors the opportunity to try their hand at the specific art form. Crafts of the Past is sponsored by the Fort Nisqually Foundation and made possible by a grant from the Tacoma Arts Commission. It is free with paid admission.

253 DRAFT PUNK FESTIVAL THIS SATURDAY “Rossetti and I are still obsessed with Slade and MC5. It’ll never change,” Olsen joked. “He’s almost 53, and I’m almost 54. It’s just part of us. We can no longer fight it. The crazy thing is, we have our original bass player (Steve Lerner, aka “Bald Steve”) that played on our first release that got us a bunch of airplay. He never played live with us, so we ended up getting him back.” Also returning will be the likes of Trees and Timber, the Riffbrokers and the DTs, the latter featuring Dave Kreider of the Monomen and Estrus Records fame. “The Riffbrokers are like Seattle’s Tom Petty,” Olson said. “They have great songs. And I’m really excited to have the DTs headline because I’ve been friends with Dave Kreider for years. Last year, they had to take off early, or else they would have been playing inside, probably in the headlining position.” But as familiar as some of the festivities will be, organizers did decide to tweak the event slightly from last year when they partitioned off a block of Jefferson Avenue for their outdoor stage, followed by three headlining bands inside. This year, it will all take place within the air-conditioned confines of the pub, which is located at 1904 Jefferson Ave. “We ended up losing a big portion of the crowd between the tear down of the outdoor stage and migrating inside,” Olson explained. “Then during the day, a lot of people didn’t know the Swiss was open. They just thought it was some outside thing we were having.” Admission is free before 8 p.m., after which there will be a cover charge of $5 to $8.

LET’S ROCK! Tacoma garage outfit Radio On – singer-guitarist Stu Miller and drummer John Leddinton shown playing (253) Draft Punk last year – will return to the festival this weekend. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

The Swiss Tavern’s 253 Draft Punk festival will be back for another round on Saturday, June 18. The event will again showcase tasty concoctions that local brew masters have been whipping up this spring while some of the region’s hardest rocking bands provide the soundtrack from 2 p.m. until the pub closes. Granted, “Draft Punk” may be a bit of a misnomer. Many of the bands on display can trace their lineage to the garagerockin’ sounds that bands like the Sonics, the Ventures and the Wailers pioneered in Tacoma in the 1950s and ‘60s.

“This year’s definitely more garage-rock oriented than last year (or) whatever 30-somethings to 50-somethings do with Northwest rock that sort of leans toward garage,” said local musician Eric Olson, who booked the bands for a second year. “The only true punk band is the Derelicts because they are old-school, true punk, and they’re fantastic at what you do.” There will be several familiar faces from last year’s lineup, including Olson’s. In 2015, he performed with Squirt, the reunited alt-rock band that had been popular in Seattle in the early ‘90s. This year, he and vocalist Dick Rossetti will return with Twink the Wonder Kid, a project that has been more active in recent years.

BRAZILIAN STYLE! Adriana Giordano is lead singer for Entremundos Quarteto. The band will perform Saturday at Urban Grace Church. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

In May, Tacoma promoter Lance Buller put together an all-star jazz concert to raise funds for Friends of 88.5. The group aspired to buy Tacoma’s KPLU-FM after Pacific Lutheran University announced plans to sell the jazz and National Public Radio station to the University of Washington in November leading to proposed format changes. Buller’s event brought Pearl Django, Rich Wetzel’s Groovin’ Higher Orchestra, Danny Quintero and singer Adriana Giordano downtown to Urban Grace Church on May 21; and not only did it help put Friends over the top – the group announced it had reached its $7 million dollar goal days later – it also appears to be the beginning of a new, monthly jazz series, called Jazz @ UGC. “I did that benefit for KPLU a couple of Saturdays ago, and that was nice. So it’s just turning into a thing now where I’ve got a new facility,” Buller said, outlining plans for the 900-capacity venue, which has occasionally hosted secular concerts over the years, notably during Tacoma’s First Night celebrations. “The room is big, but it’s acoustically very efficient,” Buller said. “I would like to get up to (booking) the A list eventually, depending on my budget, and I’ll learn the room better to know how much power I can put in there. But I’m looking at getting acts that the smaller venues wouldn’t be able to afford so that hopefully, in Tacoma, we’ll have this tiered kind of thing. You’ll have the weekly gigs that help promote the monthly gig. The monthly gig will promote the weekly gigs so that we all kind of work

together.” Jazz @ UGC will continue at 7 p.m. on Saturday with “An Evening in Brazil” featuring Seattle-based Brazilian band, Entremundos Quarteto, which has previously played in Tacoma at the B Sharp Coffeehouse and during Marine View Presbyterian Church’s monthly Jazz Live series in 2014. The band’s singer is Giordano, a native of Brazil who grew up in Port Alegre and Sao Paolo. She met her band mates – pianist Eric Verlinde, bassist Dean Schmidt and drummer Jeff Busch – five years ago. “I started going to a jam session at Ballard where these guys played,” Giordano recalled. “Slowly, I started participating more, and we got together and started developing the repertoire. We shared – especially Jeff and I – shared some similar tastes in music. But I felt the repertoire was limited for all musicians here in Seattle because they depended on charts, and they didn’t know of all this vast music that Brazil offers. Regionally, the band’s performances are often marketed as Brazilian jazz, but Giordano said it is more accurate to call what they do “musica popular brasiliera,” which means “Brazilian popular music.” It’s a term used to describe the melding of traditional Brazilian styles – bossa nova, samba, indigenous music – with jazz, funk,

soul and other genres, as exemplified by acts like Milton Nascimento, Filó Machado and Dani & Debora Gurgel Quarteto. “I think we’re doing our own thing,” Giordano said. “There are a couple of other bands here in Seattle who love Brazilian music and do a few things in Portuguese, but nobody really does what we do because the repertoire is unique that way. We have a particular sound, and I’m so lucky to work with these guys because they’re so experienced and versatile.” The band hopes to have copies of its new, debut CD, “Brasilidade,” by the time it plays Tacoma. The name translates to “Brazilianness.” “They’re all covers, but they were carefully selected, and think people will really like it,” Giordano said. “I suggested that name to the band because I thought the songs that we picked were a true representation of ‘Brazilianess.’ It has some Afro-samba. It has some Brazilian jazz. It has beautiful ballads – sort of a bossa ballad. It has a bit of everything.” The CD will be available through CD Baby, iTunes and the band’s web site, which is www.entremundosquarteto.com. This weekend’s show will also feature Tacoma jazz favorite, Kareem Kandi. Tickets are $20 and are available online at www.brownpapertickets. com.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) If you’ve felt somewhat powerless to change a certain situation, this week’s planetary shifts might help rewrite the script. Perhaps you’ve been blaming yourself or feeling guilty for the way certain events have panned out, but you might realize that there is no need to do this. The key may be to take responsibility for what you can control and let go of the rest. Once Venus dances into Cancer on Friday it might be time to enjoy a little pampering. TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) The focus on finances continues. With Mercury in the picture, you might be motivated to make your money work harder for you. To do so, you may need to look at where you’re frittering away your cash. One area could be linked with your social life. Certain recurring fees may be draining your resources, such as an unused gym membership. Also, figure in items that you purchase out of habit. The net result will be a lot more dough to play with! GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) The coming week could encourage you to connect and network and as a result tap in to opportunities that are very good for you. Allow your curiosity to lead you to websites, books, and groups that could make a difference in your life. At this time, you could also learn from people who disagree with you or have a completely different take on life, as their viewpoints could bring new insights. In your career, a revelation could change the game plan. CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) While the pressure may be on, the present astrological picture suggests ways to handle it. First, with Neptune retrograde from Monday, you might get a clearer picture of how you are frittering away your time and what you can do about it. Time management could be crucial to your success in a number of ways. A continued focus on the private sector of your chart encourages you to get in touch with your heart’s desire. Doing so could lead to a breakthrough. LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Your social life continues to buzz as an active presence in your social sector brings opportunities to mingle. With Mercury newly on the scene, you might be motivated to join groups that put you in touch with new and potentially fascinating people. There is even a chance of an instant attraction on Tuesday that could prove very interesting. And even though an edgy blend of energies on Friday could leave you feeling overwhelmed, Neptune’s backward motion might help you pinpoint why. VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Connecting with those in your industry or associated with your professional goals could enhance your chances considerably over the week ahead. And with your ruler Mercury now in Gemini, you’ll find that the more you reach out and connect, the better your chances can be. Saturn’s faceoff with Neptune on Friday may leave you feeling like you’re at the mercy of someone, especially if they’re trying to make you feel guilty. You’ll need to firm up your boundaries to handle this.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) The Sun/ Uranus link could bring an unexpected encounter your way that has an impact, particularly at the start of the week. This person could have information or ideas that help you kick-start your own plans. However, if you meet up with someone while on vacation, it’s equally possible that you could strike up a friendship or even romance. Later in the week, abandon tact and be blunt if someone asks you to do something you don’t want to do. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) The present alignment could find you considering business ideas in your search for one that is just right for you. But with Mercury on the scene, don’t limit yourself to one or two. You may find a number of opportunities that look quite promising once you start looking. The move of Venus into Cancer on Friday could see you ready to expand your reach. If you’ve been busy lately, the idea of an exotic getaway could well appeal to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Jupiter’s developing tie to Pluto may be encouraging you to register an interest in an idea or opportunity that could be very good for you. However, this isn’t something to be rushed. You’ll need to do the groundwork in order to make the most of it. Start now and you’ll be in the perfect position to go ahead in a couple of weeks. In addition, you might be motivated to invest money in real estate in hopes of getting a good return.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Purchasing items for the home might be fun, and a lively Sun/Uranus link could see you picking up some great buys at a good price. You may also snap up an item that has the potential to solve at least one domestic or kitchen-related issue. As Venus dances into your romance sector later in the week, get ready for a funfilled weekend. If you have a date planned, it could be extra special for all the right reasons.

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

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Health and wellness issues continue to attract your attention. Mercury’s presence in your lifestyle sector makes this a good opportunity to research your options. If you feel you need a more personal touch, perhaps hiring a coach would be your best bet. When it comes to exercise, the current backdrop suggests you’d do well to join a club or work out with a buddy. This can be a great way to stay motivated when the going gets tough. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) The Sun/ Uranus link early on could coincide with a brilliant idea. Indeed, creative thinking could be at a peak, perhaps encouraging you to try something new. Problem solving might be a lot easier, too, as you could find inspiration in all kinds of places. When Venus dances into your lifestyle sector on Friday, you might be in the mood to think about your diet and make a few changes. Less fast food and more home cooking could be one of them.
