Relay For Life lights the night, keeps up the fight against cancer By Kathleen Merryman Relay For Life celebrated its 30th anniversary from 6 p.m. last Friday to 6 p.m. last Saturday. In the dicey weather, 1,703 participants on 136 teams pitched their tents around the track at Mount Tahoma High School. They walked, embraced, laughed and wept with more of their friends and acquaintances than they ever thought had fought cancer. As of Tuesday, they had raised $492,430.22 for the American Cancer Society’s work in research, support and education aimed at eliminating all cancers. Pretty impressive for a bunch of people wearing, among other articles of clothing, tutus, pink cowboy hats with sequins, Waldo’s red and white sweater and hat, tie-dyed tights, plus business attire and jeans and event Tees. Some came to walk, starting with the survivors’ lap, and its shouted vow to make this century cancer’s last. Those survivors, fighters and caregivers who walked waved at the crowd supporting them, and could not muster enough of the right words to thank them. No one minded. Everyone understood. Some set up tents in the field

beyond the track, and fund-raising booths around it. A person could buy a luminaria for a person lost to cancer, a caregiver or a survivor. After nightfall, those decorated bags would light the night with candle flames, and permission to let the emotions of the event out in the form of tears. But that would come after the laughter, the joy and the fund-raising. A friend could treat a buddy to handmade earrings. Or a person with cruddy Taxol fingernails could have an Aha! moment and splurge on a back scratcher, knowing every penny raised would go straight to the cancer fight. Most everyone wanted to hug Pat Flynn, the volunteer Mother of Relay who has been there from the start, there from the evening 30 years ago when Dr. Gordon Klatt staged an endurance run to defeat cancer. Klatt, a colorectal surgeon and marathoner, thought in May of 1985 that he could raise money for the local American Cancer Society by getting his friends to pledge if he ran and walked around University of Puget Sound’s Baker Stadium Track for 24 hours. They did, and a few of his friends paid $25 to get on the track with him. Klatt called the event the “City of Destiny 24-Hour Run Against Cancer,” and logged 83 miles. Local legend has it that he hoped

By Steve Dunkelberger

to raise $10,000. The total came to $27,000. In most any city in America, the event would have been a triumph all on its own: one overachieving runner backed by a team of overachieving donors almost triples an impressive goal. But somewhere between fatigue and exhaustion, Klatt had a better idea: make it a tradition. Let everyone X See CANCER / page A11

Tacoma may change its form of government but it won’t be this year. Tacoma City Council opted to end discussion about a charter review recommendation that would boost the duties of the mayor and the role of the council. Only council members Ryan Mello and Anders Ibsen wanted to keep the change alive for further discussion for a final council decision slated for July 15. The remaining council members largely opposed further discussion about the change because, they said, the Charter Review Committee failed to provide convincing arguments that there was an existing problem with the current system, that the change would fix that problem, that the proposed chief administrative officer-mayor-council recommendation would serve residents better and that the change would not cost more money than the current city managercouncil-mayor system. The Charter Review’s recommendation had called for a full-time mayor that operated separately from the council by drafting city budgets and directing city initiatives with a chief administrative officer.

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

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

DASH CENTER FOR THE ARTS TO CLOSE FACILITY JUNE 30 (The following press release was issued this week by DASH Center founder and executive director Candi Hall.) Since 2003, DASH Center for the Arts has been providing artistic opportunities for the young and old here in the Tacoma/Pierce County community. In 2006, DASH Center opened a facility in the Hilltop community. Nearly 1,000 youth have been educated inside walls of the DASH Center, and many amazing dancers, choreographers, actors, singers, rappers, writers, directors and musicians have been born and groomed here. After much deliberation, I have decided to close the doors of the DASH Center facility. 2013/2014 has been a very tough year with being forced to move and struggling to find a new home. This was a very hard decision for me to make. DASH was something I conceptualized as a freshman in college at Georgia Tech. To see it come to life and be such an important part of the lives of so many has been both a gift and a dream come true. June 21, 2014 will be the last DASH Center production. Our end of the year recital will take place at Theatre on the Square, 903 Broadway, at 3 p.m. It is my hope that everyone in Tacoma will come and wish us a fond farewell! Tickets are only $10 and are available now at DASH Center for the Arts (253) 507-9466; 1102 A St., Tacoma (inside the Post Office building). Beginning June 16, all equipment, supplies, costumes, furniture, and instruments went up for sale. Monies from the sale will go toward any outstanding invoices. Everything will be for sale through June 29.

Providing the opportunity for lowincome youth to receive quality dance education and achieve their dreams in the arts has been the mission of the DASH Center since its start. It is important to me that youth in Tacoma are still afforded these opportunities. To that end, DASH Center for the Arts will continue to operate as a non-profit organization, providing scholarships to Tacoma and Pierce County youth. DASH will partner with Metropolitan Ballet to continue its formal dance training program. Reality Check Dance Team will continue to operate under the direction of Kenya Adams, captained by Carla Aponte. Michael Cole Music Services will operate DASH Recording Studios, which will operate on a sliding scale for youth who meet certain criteria. While I am somewhat sad, I am very excited for the new chapter in my life. I have given all of me, and then some, to the DASH Center and the youth here in Tacoma. It has truly been “my baby.� Last year, I became guardian of two beautiful teenage girls who have become my babies. They need all of me and then some, and some more, if they are to grow into the amazing young women I know they can be. So many of you have supported me through the years. I hope that you will continue to do so, by your continuing support of the DASH Center for the Arts! Today I say thank you to EVERYONE who has had a hand in DASH’s success, including: Koshawn Armstrong, Michael Hankins, Brenda Garcia, Rick Cottey, Michael Bradley, Corbin Barbour, Charles Simmons, Jimmy Shields, Tiffany Sanders,

POLICE SEARCH FOR DUO THAT ROBBED A MAN AT KNIFEPOINT THIRD SUSPECT STILL ON THE LOOSE By David Rose Correspondent

Fife police have identified two of three robbery suspects who terrified a man by tying him up at knifepoint and making him take off his pants. Now they need help from your DAVID ROSE finding them. Larry Baker is a convicted felon who has a warrant for his arrest for 1st degree Robbery and 1st Degree Kidnapping. He’s wanted along with Leechae Brown, or “Chae Chae Bear� as she calls herself. Surveillance video that you can view on www. catchwmw.com showed the victim making a daring escape from his captors at a Fife motel in late March by bolting out the door in his boxers. “What happened was our victim, he met this lady on backpage.com and so he agreed to meet up with her at a hotel here in the city,� said Fife Det. Lt. Tom Thompson. “And so, when he got to the hotel, he knew the room number to go to so he went into the room. She let him in and once he got inside the room and the door was closed, he had two other males who came out of the bathroom and confronted him. One of the males was holding a knife. And so, what they did was order him at knifepoint to take his pants off, which he did, and they bound his hands with a hair dryer cord.� Fife police say they took his ATM card, got his pin number, took his car keys,

and then “Chae Chae Bear� and Baker left the room and took off in the victim’s car to go clean out his bank account. When they returned, the victim made a gutsy escape. “The suspect who was inside the room with our victim he walks out to the vehicle and he starts to talk to them and that’s the point where the victim sees an opportunity to get away. So, he literally just runs out the room. He’s still bound and still pant-less, but he runs out and just starts yelling for help and he gets to the lobby where they call 911,� said Det. Lt. Thompson. Baker and the third suspect, who has not been identified yet, took off and Johnson got out of the car and left as well.

Teen charged for beating father to death with a cane On June 13, Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Rylan Salzman, 16, with murder in the second degree for beating his father, Richard Salzman, 49, to death with a cane at their Tacoma home. On June 6, 2014, the defendant’s mother left the family’s home to attend a graduation party. The victim called her while she was at the party, and the couple argued. The defendant, who was at home drinking with the victim, overheard the argument between his parents. He was apparently upset that his father was yelling at his mother, so he confronted him. During the confrontation, the defendant picked up a cane and hit the victim in the head with it several times, killing him. The defendant dragged his father’s body to a wooden storage box in the family’s yard and put him inside. The defendant covered the body with cat litter, oil and dirt, and put the cane, a flashlight and a bicycle in the box as well. He called his mother and told her the victim left the house on his bicycle. The defendant then drove to the party and brought his mother home. “This is a strange case of patricide,�

said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “The motives are still being investigated.� The mother reported the victim missing the following day because he had not returned home. The defendant told his mother not to make any more phone calls or have anyone over to the house. On June 10, the defendant’s mother told him she was going to employ a search and rescue team to assist in locating her husband. The defendant replied, “Wait! Wait, don’t call yet.� Then he told his mother that he killed his father and put him in the wooden box. His mother told him he needed to call the police, so he dialed 911 and confessed. When police arrived, they arrested the defendant. After a short search, police located the wooden box and found the victim inside. The medical examiner determined the victim died of blunt force trauma to the head. The victim was so badly beaten that dental records had to be used to positively identify him. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Detectives say Baker left the state a few weeks after the robbery and appears to have stolen a car in Portland. In mid-May, he was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail in California for a vehicle theft charge and disappeared when he got out. At that time, detectives hadn’t identified him as one of the Fife robbery suspects. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Larry Baker or Leechae “Chae Chae Bear� Johnson, or you can tell detectives who the third suspect is, call an anonymous tip into Crime Stoppers of Tacoma\Pierce County at 1-800-222-TIPS. There is a cash reward of up to $1,000 offered for information leading to their arrest.

Joint voluntary safety inspections to continue The City of Tacoma partnered with the Port of Tacoma and the City of Fife to complete a threemonth pilot program to help increase commercial vehicle safety. The program provided voluntary commercial vehicle safety alliance (CVSA) inspections for free to trucking companies. The inspections were offered one Wednesday a month during April, May and June. More than 80 trucks were inspected. Trucks that passed the inspection were given a decal to display that helped minimize the chance of being stopped for a roadside inspection for three months. “We inspected 84 trucks as part of the pilot program and found a total of 33 violations,� said Steve Goolie, City of Tacoma Road Use Compliance Officer. “We issued 70 CVSA Decals. The low numbers of violations indicate the companies were making an effort to ensure the vehicles were in good operating condition prior to being inspected.� The City received positive feedback about the program from the trucking companies, and is planning to continue the program on a quarterly basis. “We value our partnership with the cities of Tacoma and Fife to provide these free safety inspections to the trucking companies serving our terminals. The program provides an opportunity for local law enforcement officers to educate truck drivers and ensures the continued safety of our roads,� said Clare Petrich, Port of Tacoma commission president.

Tacoma police sure know how to Tacoma arrest “innocent Weekly bystanders� is interestedwho in just happen to be walking by a crime what is happening in our community. scene. Just ask the 32-year-old man Please send your news and story ideas just happened to be “checking towho news@tacomaweekly.com. out� a car along the 1700 block of Oakes Street on June 15. A patrol officer noticed the man looking inside a car that just happened to have its window shattered. The officer investigated and learned the man didn’t know the car’s owner or even live in the area. He just said that he was looking into the car. It was a probable story until the man blurted out “I’m going to jail, aren’t I?� The police asked the man about why he thinks he would be going to jail. He admitted that he had outstanding warrants. Yep. He was telling the truth. He also had meth pipes in his pocket. The car owner didn’t know the suspect but said the car’s window had been broken a few days prior. Criminals remember the adage, “when in doubt, don’t shout it out.� A man found himself under arrest after ignoring that sage advice after police responded to a domestic violence call along the 5900 block of 6th Avenue on June 15. During the second 911 call response to the apartment in a matter of hours, police arrived and heard loud and rambling screaming from inside the apartment. They entered and separated the honeymooning couple. They have been married 9 months. The man was extremely drunk on malt liquor, since he had been drinking all day. He was sober enough to answer police questions, however, including the standard police question during a fight of “So, did you make any threats of violence?� He then said that he had yelled “I’m going to stab you, bitch,� “You are going to be found dead in the street, “You are going to die, whore.� Yep that qualifies as a threat. The man was placed under arrest and taken to jail. Compiled by Steve Dunkelberger

CLAM ON! Manitou Park Elementary students got a big surprise when Petrovskaya was awarded a $500 check from a giant dancing clam. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

With the school year coming to a close, most end-of-year assemblies include summer fun and goodbye speeches. Very few include a dancing clam carrying a giant check for a teacher. The students of Manitou Park Elementary School got exactly that when fourth-grade teacher Liliya Petrovskaya won Ivar’s Restaurant’s Teacher of the Year award. Petrovskaya, a secondyear teacher, was gifted with a custom plaque signifying her achievement, as well as a $500 check to be used for school supplies. She was one of 400 teachers in the state nominated by one of her students via a written essay. Though thankful for the award, Petrovskaya made it clear that teaching is a group effort. “Teaching is a rewarding job especially when you work with a team, with a community, with parents, and I couldn’t have done it

alone,� Petrovskaya said. But gaining support was easy for her when everyone around can see what a great teacher she is. “Ms. Lilya has overcome a lot of obstacles in her life. She’s from Eastern Europe and schooled herself in the United States. She’s very structured. She’s very kind and compassionate, and she is very dedicated to her profession. Of all the teachers here, she is quite dedicated,� Principal Mary Wilson said. Petrovskaya takes this passion for learning and transfers it to her students, not only in introducing reading to them, but also introducing them to writers they will love for the rest of their lives. The author of the essay that got her the award, Amy Hardesty, claims she found her new favorite author, Avi (Edward Irving Wortis), because of Petrovskaya. Hardesty also claims that Petrovskaya is her favorite teacher because she makes learning fun. “She makes me want to

be a teacher,� Hardesty said in the essay. Petrovskaya finds it important to teach her students the English language, encouraging them to find difficult vocabulary words in books and pin Post-It notes to a word wall, designating them as a “Word Wizard.� The essay went on to describe Petrovskaya as an enthusiastic teacher who cares greatly for her class. The essay was also able to show off some of the vocabulary she had been teaching the class. “I fervently believe [Petrovskaya] should be selected as teacher of the year,� Hardesty states at the end of her essay. Petrovskaya was presented the award on the last day of school, courtesy of Ivar’s marketing manager Jim Worth and the classic Ivar’s dancing clam. It’s no surprise that Manitou Park Elementary produced a teacher of the year, as the staff has become invested in not only the students’ education but their future as well. One class came in decked out in college sweatshirts, showing off their future alma maters. The kids also are invested in their instructors, giving off thunderous applause as a stunned Petrovskaya approached the clam to receive her giant check. Although Petrovskaya was one of 400 teachers nominated for the award, it was the clarity and intelligence of the submitted application that truly gave her an edge. “The letter was well written and thought out,� Worth said.

<508<, The Tacoma showroom has a variety of new, gently-used and vintage home furnishings. By Erica Cooley Special to Tacoma Weekly

The mission of Hope is to “help restore hope, dignity and stability in our community by recycling donated furniture to “people in need,� according to their website. This furniture store offers amazing deals and prices on brand name furnishings from companies like Mattress Ranch, ReclinerLand, Sleep Country USA, Ikea, Mattress City, Selden’s, The Old Cannery, Mattress depot USA, Greenbaum Home Furnishings, Harkness, Emerald Home Furnishings and more. The store is a furniture showroom with adjoining rooms showcasing items like vintage furnishings ranging from ornate, decorative paintings to adorable outdoor furniture. Hope Furnishings offers a unique and personal take on the furniture shopping experience.

Universal pre-K, motivation and equity in education By Willie Dickerson As a teacher for more than 35 years, nearly half of that in Tacoma, I am grateful that every child in America has the opportunity to attend public school. I am heartened by the new push for universal pre-kindergarten education. While teaching all levels, from preschool through high school in Tacoma, I saw the academic gap among entering kindergarten students and worked to overcome it. Over the years teachers constantly work to help these students catch up. Unfortunately this gap seldom closes as the years go on. Pre-kindergarten education can close this gap. Later on, one successful way this gap closed was through the student’s own initiative and motivation. When students realized the importance of learning and took full advantage of their opportunities, they moved forward quickly. I saw this happen in the later grades. What triggers this motivation? Parents, teachers and peers helped this happen, but primarily it was a realization on the

part of each student. Given more choices in their learning helps. Seeing the big picture can motivate students as well. Connecting with something a student is passionate about helps to connect them to their education. Sometimes current issues that involve injustice as a student sees it can be a great trigger. For example, learning that education is not even available for everyone in our world: 57 million children of primary school age in our world do not even have the privilege of attending school. Discovering why could be a good place to start. Taking steps to make a difference for these children without school could really change a student’s perspective. In the words of Albert Einstein, “When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.� As students look into this or other issues and begin to understand they can make a difference, it is energizing. Reading about students who have

taken action, like Malala Yousafzai who was shot by the Taliban for standing up for girls’ education, can propel them forward. Studying what is being done to change this situation by America and other countries is a next step. There is a bill in Congress, the Education for All Act, but why hasn’t it passed? The Global Partnership for Education is supported by countries around the world and has been successful in getting more children in school. How can it get the funding it needs to continue this work? Will America pledge $250 million over the next two years to give children an opportunity for an education? These and other questions can lead students to their own answers of how to make a difference. The excitement of this process creates motivation. Find an issue that grabs a student, guide learning involving research, and empower the student to seek solutions. This can make a difference in closing learning gaps, and lead to success.

All Washington citizens deserve safe water and fish By Bill Sterud We all need clean water to survive. Here in Puget Sound, we are reminded of this every day when we look out over the water and see life as we expect it to be – ferries carting people back and forth to their jobs, sailboats gliding across the bay, a robust fishing population seeking out our treasured salmon and, if we are really lucky, orca navigating the Sound for Chinook. Whether you grew up here or moved here, one thing we all have in common is that we value and depend on water, clean water – for drinking, fishing, swimming and recreation, cultural and subsistence purposes, and supporting the fish we eat. Water is a public resource, the protection of which is entrusted not only to environmentalists and resource agencies but to each and every one of us to protect for our families and future generations. Recently, there has been much debate about water – specifically how to develop rules for reducing the toxic pollution discharged into state waters while providing business a clear path forward toward achieving compliance with these rules. To develop these rules, the Governor and agency staff are deliberating on how much cancer risk is acceptable and how much fish and shellfish we eat. These two factors have huge impacts on how strict the rules will be. To us, the answers are simple. We want rules that will protect all of us – the health of all citizens of Washington State, including all of our members. At the heart of this matter for the Puyallup Tribe is the protection of our people, our culture and our fishery. We expect to be able to eat and sell fish that are not contaminated both now and in the future. We expect the state to make risk management decisions to avoid harm to all of us, certainly to those most at risk, our children and elderly. We expect pollution to cause negligible or essentially zero cancer risk. We agree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that the cancer risk level currently in the rules should not be changed. We intend to live up to our obligations to protect and preserve the water resource, and the fishery, for future generations, and not put future generations at greater risk of cancer.

Reduction of the cancer risk level, a number used when determining how much pollution is too much, is simply unacceptable and not in any citizen’s best interest. The State of Washington already has the highest cancer incidence rate in the west. Any decision by State Government that increases the risk of cancer is detrimental to all citizens, especially elders and children. Changing the cancer risk to a less protective level in Washington State, as urged by a few industry groups, would be reckless and certainly not in the interests of any one of us. Industry groups have been fostering the belief that standards that protect Washington citizens are unachievable and will break the bank for both industry and individuals. Not only is this simply not true, the citizens of this state deserve to hear all the facts. Not only are the personal costs of cancer devastating, but the economic costs to the state are unfathomable. We spent the equivalent of about 10 percent of the state budget or $3.3 billion dollars on cancer-care treatment in the State of Washington in 2010. This estimate is projected to increase by 86 percent or to $6.1 billion dollars by 2020. These costs don’t factor in other cancerrelated costs including loss in work days and other needs associated with catastrophic family illness. In light of the fact that one in every two men and one in every three women can expect cancer sometime in their lifetimes, we expect those entrusted with making these decisions to make decisions that are not only protective of human health, but to make decisions that lead us forward rather than backward in protecting human health and future generations. Reducing the cancer risk level, as urged by industry groups, is a significant step backward. The second issue of widespread debate is how much fish do Washingtonian’s eat? The answer to this question also profoundly affects how strict the rules will be. Most of us agree that the existing rate of Ÿ of an ounce of fish per day (roughly a teaspoon of fish) is woefully underestimating the amount of fish citizens of this state eat and is also woefully under protective, yet the debate continues on whether four,

six or eight ounces of fish per day is sufficiently protective. Interest groups in the debate are arguing which data or statistical survey is the best number to use to reach the end result. Again the goal for rulemaking isn’t what statistic should be used but rather what is protective of human health. And this means the number that is protective of all Washingtonians – from those who eat fish only occasionally to those who eat fish for every meal. The public discourse today is the same as when the Clean Water Act passed over 40 years ago. Although the voices are different, the arguments are the same – these protections will put us out of business or force us to move out of state or increase our sewer bills to hundreds of dollars a month. But the fact of the matter is that none of these things happened then nor are they expected to happen now. This is largely because the processes for setting protective standards and implementing them, although parallel, are fundamentally different. Protective standards can be developed and implemented in a timely, predictable way that both results in cost efficient compliance and improvements to water quality. More time needs to be spent on how to achieve results, such as controlling what goes into the facilities, optimizing process efficiencies, testing product substitutions, implementing management practices and determining the most effective treatment controls. The industry groups would have citizens believe that achieving safe water is simply impossible because it would drive all industry and jobs out of this state. This is simply not true, and cost efficient compliance to a meaningful standard are within reach with appropriate compliance measures. Industry groups want citizens to bear the burden, through their own health, of the industry costs to do business. All Washington citizens deserve safe water and safe fish, both now and for generations to come, so that we can continue to live life as we have always expected it, with both beauty and quality, now and for generations to come. Bill Sterud is vice-chairman of the Puyallup Tribal Council.

Birthdays come. Then they pass. Year after year, candle-topped cakes go uneaten. Bedrooms remain untouched, double cast as shrines to the missing and beacons of hope that the children will return. Some day, any day. The usual “family times� at Thanksgiving tables, vacations, proms and weddings have empty chairs and voided hearts year after year when a child remains vanished. Childhood friends grow older and graduate, while the missing largely remain forever young, trapped in aging photographs from the day they disappeared. But the search for them continues. Teekah Lewis was last seen at 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 23, 1999, at the New Frontier Lanes bowling alley that once was located along Center Street. The 2-year-old girl was playing on the arcade games just a few feet away from her mother. She was playing on a racing ,%7)3 game one moment; she disappeared the next. A search for information about her disappearance crisscrossed the nation. She was neither the deceased girl in Kansas found in 2001 nor the girl living just outside of Dallas. More than 500 tips from California and Florida as well as states in between turned up nothing. Profiles of her case on national crime shows brought more leads but no facts. Years have passed. She would be graduating high school now, the world passing for 15 years without her home. Her case led to the passage of the “Teekah Lewis Bill,� which allows the Washington State Patrol to assist the police in missing child cases. That effort could very well bring her home along with other missing children from our streets. Christopher Virdell was last seen at 10 a.m. on Feb. 9, 2012, as the 18-yearold left a friend’s residence on 223rd Street East in Spanaway to catch a bus to go to work. Detectives have contacted numerous friends and co-workers of this “perfect employee,� and none have VIRDELL reported seeing or hearing from Virdell since the day he disappeared. Theories abound, each one of them investigated. Jennifer Enyart has been missing under suspicious circumstances since September of 2000. The 16-year-old girl was riding in a car with her parents from Seattle to their home in Spokane when they stopped at a gas station in Tacoma. Enyart ran from the car and ENYART vanished. Police have been unable to locate her or any persons who have seen or heard from her since then. She is now 30, if she is still alive. On the morning of July 20, 1995, Lenoria Jones was reported missing from a Tacoma department store. When store cameras showed the 3-year-old girl had not been in the store, her aunt provided varying accounts of the girl’s whereabouts, including that she JONES had been kidnapped or had wandered away from her aunt’s residence in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. Her disappearance gained national attention. But it didn’t gain the most importance thing, resolution. Nothing. She is 22 now. Someone knows something about these children and can help them come home. Receive up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and charges filed for the person(s) responsible in these children’s disappearances. Visit www.tpcrimestoppers.com for more information. Bring them home. The above opinion represents the view of Tacoma Weekly’s editorial board.

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

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

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

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

' %$ ) ( )% "& "% " & %&" $ ' ) ( . '%# $ ) *$ '- )% (*&&%') $ ) ')( ' ! &( %##*$ ) ( ()'%$ During the 2013 fiscal year, the Puyallup Tribe contributed more than $2 million from its charity and general funds into the local community with donations to various charities and organizations such as hospitals, healthcare and medical research, schools, food banks, children’s literacy programs, education, job training‌the list goes on. In 2013 alone the Tribe provided much needed funds to more than 130 of these charities reaching north to Seattle and southward to Tacoma and beyond. Staying true to its tradition as the “generous people,â€? the Puyallups donated $200,000 each to two key area food distributors in December 2013 – Food Lifeline and Northwest Harvest – which feed thousands of families in need during the holidays and throughout the year. Food Lifeline provides food to 275 members of the non-profit’s program network throughout Western Washington that encompasses food banks, food pantries, hot meal programs, shelters and after-school programs. Northwest Harvest is Washington’s statewide hunger relief agency comprised of more than 360 food banks, meal programs and high-need schools as unique as the communities they serve. In Tacoma, St. Leo Food Connection received $90,000 from the Tribe in 2013. Director Kevin Glackin-Coley said, “The support from the Puyallup Tribe is an essential component in our ability to fight hunger in our community. Their funding has helped us provide healthy, nutritious food at our St. Leo Food Bank as well as provide, throughout the school year, weekend food for kids who otherwise would go hungry all weekend.â€? During 2013, the Tribe donated $80,000 in funds to FISH Food Banks of Pierce County, which serves over half a million clients with more than 6 million pounds of food in the course of a year. And just in time for the holiday season, in December 2013 the Tribe gifted $50,000 to the Puyallup Food Bank. “It’s such a great feeling to be able to take care of those in need,â€? said Tribal Councilmember David Bean. “As Indian people, we’re taught to take care of our land and community, and it’s wonderful

to be in the position to be able to make contributions to help others.� In other areas of the Tribe’s giving, public safety has long been a concern of the Puyallup Tribe, which actively works to help ensure safe and sound communities by providing funds to organizations like Law Enforcement Youth Camp, Violent Crime Victim Services, Northwest Gang Investigators Association and Behind the Badge. In December 2012 and 2013, Tribal representatives presented Toys For Tots/ Crime Stoppers organizers with checks for $250,000, for a total contribution of $500,000. The Tribe’s 2013 donation came just in time, says Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer. Thanks to the Puyallup Tribe, the gift blessed 25,000 children with 52,180 toys. “Without the Tribe’s donation and the monetary ability to go out and

buy toys so close to Christmas, many kids would have gone without Christmas gifts this year,� he said. “We were short – we had zero in the distribution box for infants, 2-year-olds and kids 9, 10 and 11. We were able to go out and purchase those gifts and get them to distribution sites so kids would have something under the tree.� Children, seniors and veterans alike all benefit from the Tribe’s sense of community, with contributions in 2013 going to organizations such as Children’s Alliance, Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, Tacoma Lutheran Retirement Community and Bonney Lake Senior Center, National Association for Black Veterans and the 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, among others. Harriett Williams, Community Advocate for the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, said the organization

is grateful for the Puyallup Tribe’s gift of $10,000 to support the Project Learn Program at the Al Davies Branch. “With the generous donation, we are able to serve additional members and extend a child’s learning beyond the classroom, by offering homework help, tutoring and academic enrichment activities.� Working to preserve and support the arts and culture, Tacoma Art Museum, Gig Harbor Film Festival, Wisdom of the Elders, Inc., Museum of Northwest Art, Steilacoom Tribal Museum Cultural Center and more benefitted from the Tribe’s charitable giving in 2013. Even our furry, four-legged companions come under the Tribe’s watchful eye. In 2013, the Tribe gave generously to the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County and South Sound Critter Care.

LOOK OUT! Matthew Philichi nails the game-winning field goal in overtime for Bellarmine’s 20-17 quarterfinal win over Bothell.

BELLARMINE PREP STOPS HEARTS WITH PLAYOFF FOOTBALL WINS

Down two touchdowns with less than four minutes to play, most teams would cash it in. But Bellarmine Prep pulled off some familiar playoff magic, rallying to score 17 points in the final three minutes – capped by a 20-yard field goal by Matthew Philichi with nine seconds remaining – for a 38-35 win at Newport on Nov. 16 in the 4A state playoffs. “They have realized that it doesn’t matter what is going on, just go hard,” said Bellarmine Prep head coach Tom Larsen. “They have bought into (the belief that) the scoreboard doesn’t tell you how to play, your heart does. And they did that.” Drew Griffin’s interception on the goal line in overtime sealed another improbable win for Bellarmine Prep, as they beat the Bothell Cougars 20-17 in the 4A state quarterfinals on Nov. 23 at Mount Tahoma Stadium. The Lions finally fell to top-ranked Camas in the state semifinals the following week at the Tacoma Dome.

BAILEY FINISHES STRONG TO WIN STATE BOWLING TITLE

leading off the meet with a 14th place finish in the 200-yard medley relay with seniors Sarah Sachs and Yana Kuloff and sophomore Nicole Ripley. “(I’ve) kind of been sad and happy at the same time. (But) I’m excited for this.” Chard added a second-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke, finishing in a time of one minute and 3.89 seconds that earned All-American consideration.

LINCOLN GRAPPLERS TAKE CITY CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN

The Lincoln wrestlers are kings of Tacoma once again. For the second straight year, the Abes sent 12 wrestlers to the finals, and claimed seven individual championships to edge Bellarmine Prep for the city title at the Tacoma City Championships on Jan. 24 at Bellarmine Prep. “It’s incredible for us as a team,” said Lincoln senior 220pounder Aliyas Fletcher. “We’ve been winning a lot of tournaments, we’ve been getting a lot of success. But now we’re able to say we’re the best in the city…and that’s something we should be proud of.”

BELLARMINE VOLLEYBALL GOES BACK-TO-BACK

Shannon Bailey insists she wasn’t paying attention to the growing excitement around her. It was hard not to peak at other scores, as the Wilson junior bowler headed into the final round of the state championship tied for the individual lead with Everett’s Candice Goldfinch, who had bowled a 256 in her fifth game to pull even. Goldfinch then put up four strikes in her first five frames in the final round to take the lead, while Hudson’s Bay’s Dakota Varela – bowling on the same lane as Bailey – rattled off six straight strikes to move into second place. But Bailey saved her best for last, collecting six straight strikes of her own from the fifth to tenth frames to claim the 1A/2A/3A individual title on Feb. 7 at Narrows Plaza Lanes. “I was a little excited, but I was like ‘I’ll just stay calm and bowl my game,’” said Bailey, an Annie Wright student who joined the Rams this fall. “I just bowled what I normally bowl. I just got in the zone and stayed (there).”

LADY LIONS CAPTURE 4A CROSS COUNTRY CROWN

Placing four runners in the top 20 finishers, Bellarmine Prep edged Camas for the team title at the 4A cross country state meet on Nov. 9 in Pasco. Sophomore Emily Thomas led the way for the Lions by placing 14th individually in a personal-best time of 18 minutes and 35.33 seconds, with junior Laura Staeheli just five seconds behind in placing 16th. Junior Miranda Ross placed 18th and senior Jordan Thurston took 20th, just under 17 seconds behind Thomas. The Lions had a team score of 92, while Camas placed second with 105 points. Camas’ Alexa Efraimson won the individual title by finishing in 17 minutes and 1.10 seconds, over 55 seconds better than second-place finisher Lindsey Bradley of Richland.

FOSS’ CHARD WINS TITLE AT 3A STATE SWIM MEET

The 3A state meet was the final piece of business for Foss swimmer Emma Chard before preparing for her college career at Boise State. And the Falcons’ senior didn’t disappoint, winning the 100-yard freestyle in an All-American time of 50.17 seconds on Nov. 16 at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. “It’s been really fun this season,” Chard said shortly after

Behind two-time Gatorade Washington Player of the Year and University of Washington commit Courtney Schwan, Bellarmine Prep outlasted Curtis in five sets on Nov. 16 at Saint Martin’s University to earn the 4A state title for the second year in a row. The Lions topped the Vikings 25-22, 18-25, 25-17, 19-25, 15-9 in a thriller, with Schwan leading the team with 25 kills and being named the state tournament MVP. Behind Schwan, senior libero Julia Wright, senior Emily Newberry and juniors Reghan Pukis, Natalie Jensen and Claire Martin, the Lions put up a perfect 35-0 record on the year and went 12-0 in the Narrows 4A. They lost just four total sets on the season, and the matchup in the finals was the only time they were pushed to five sets. The Lions became just the seventh team to go back-to-back in 4A state volleyball history. “This was the right team to do it with, if any,” said Bellarmine Prep head coach Jody DeGroot, who was later X See TOP STORIES / page A10

It was a night for champions, coaches, families, broadcasters and well-wishers Monday, June 16 at the annual Tacoma Athletic Commission Athlete of the Year Awards Banquet. The cream of the crop, past and present, was on-hand to usher in a new batch of Pierce County’s finest student-athletes into the Tacoma Athletic Commission’s happy family. Athletes from all over Pierce County were in attendance at Bellarmine Prep’s gymnasium and for the first time ever, the high-honor of the night - the boys and girls athlete of the year award - was unknown to the attendees beforehand. In truth, the award could have easily been given to several of the athletes onhand, as this was one of the most successful years for the area’s schools in a long time. In the end it would be one girl and two boys sharing the award; Hannah Derby from Bellarmine Prep, Benjamin Scott from Steilacoom High School and Matt Voss from Puyallup High School. Derby ended her track and field career at Bellarmine as the only four-time 400-meter champion in Washington state history at the larger-school level. She overcame a bout of illness at the 2014 4A Meet and defeated a field that was thought to have a shot at beating her. In the fall, Derby was also a member of Bellermine’s state cross country championship squad. Derby will be taking her impressive combination of speed and endurance north to Husky Stadium next year for the University of Washington. “It was an absolute surprise tonight,” said Derby after the ceremonies. “As I think everybody could tell by my speech – I’m not a very good speech maker. I’m very blessed to have gotten this award. This is a real honor.” Scott wrote and rewrote the Steilacoom swimming record books. He garnered AllAmerican and Academic All-American honors during his career, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. Scott won three gold medals at the state 2A/3A meet and will be attending the University of Utah next year. Voss went 80-0 for his career as a wrestler in the 220-pound division, winning the past two 4A state titles. He was also a captain on the football team, where he earned three letters. Voss will take his mastery of the mat to George Mason University next fall. The night was full of other awards and familiar faces. Last year’s top girls winner, Courtney Schwan from Bellarmine, was honored with the Dick Hannula Amateur Athlete of the Year award. Schwan finished her career as a two-time Gatorade Washington Volleyball Player of the Year and led the Lady Lions to back-to-back 4A state championships. Joining Schwan was former Foss defensive lineman Scott Crichton, who attended Oregon State University and was recently drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the third round.

Three of the Tacoma area’s semi-pro football teams hit the road in Western Washington Football Alliance action Saturday, June 14, and all three returned home victorious. The Puyallup Nation Kings continued their winning ways, moving their record to 4-0 after a 38-11 thumping of the Snohomish County Thunder at Marysville-Pilchuck Stadium. The Pierce County Bengals also remained undefeated at 4-0 after seeing its offense finally get on-track with a 66-20 pounding of the Snohomish County Vikings at Monroe High School. Mark the calendars for July 26, as the Bengals host the Kings at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner for what may be a showdown for the WWFA league title.

Friday, June 13, the South Sound Shock FC began opening-round play in the 16-team 2014 United States Adult Soccer Associations National U-23 Championship Tournament in Horshem, PA. Meanwhile, half of the team, including reserves and a few high-schoolers, prepared for a Saturday match against WestSound FC at Tacoma’s Lincoln Bowl. After a first-round 1-1 draw with Junior Lone Star FC of Philadelphia, the Shock needed to get into the win column if it hoped to advance into Saturday’s rounds. It handed the Mass United FC North Shore Select, from Boston, MA, a 1-0 shutout and moved into the quarterfinals bracket on Saturday. The Shock quickly took care of business Saturday morning against the Trenton Rebels FC from Bordentown, NJ, shutting out the Rebels 3-0 and moving into the semifinals. Back home in Tacoma, the Shock were looking to maintain its first-place position in the Evergreen Premier League standings and the split-squad earned another three points with a surprising 3-0 win over WestSound FC. The victory gives South Sound (6-0-1) 19 points on the season, one more than the second-place Vancouver Victory, who has also played two more matches than the Shock. In Pennsylvania, the Shock squared-off against ABGC Annandale United from Annandale, Virginia. The teams played to a 1-1 draw and the Shock eventually fell in a penalty shootout after two scoreless overtime periods. Annandale would go on to defeat the Houstan Dynamo 2-1 for the U-23 national title.

Riding a three-game winning streak, the Sounders U-23 traveled to Bremerton Friday, June 14, for a match against their rivals, the first-place Kitsap Pumas. Christopher Wehan took an early feed from the former Stadium Tiger Jamael Cox and deposited a shot into the back of the Pumas’ net just nine minutes into the match. The Pumas answered just before halftime, as Andy Devlin scored off of a pass from Cody Shelton in the 44th minute. Neither club would break loose, for a score in the second half and the Sounders would come away with one league point from the 1-1 draw. Two days later, the Sounders U-23 hosted a home game of sorts at Tumwater Stadium in front of an announced crowd of 1,012. The Portland Timbers U-23 made the short drive north and the two clubs went toe-to-toe in a physical, scoreless first-half. Portland was able to capitalize on a few Sounders miscues in the second half, and coupled with their physical play, walked away with a 3-0 victory. More importantly, the win game Portland (2-4-3) three points in the standings, closing within one-point of the fourth place Sounders U-23 (3-3-1). The Sounders U-23 return home Friday June 20 to Sunset Chevrolet Stadum in Sumner as they host Lane United FC at 7 p.m.

Quick! Name a college baseball player. Your children and grandchildren don’t count. Neither does the kid who delivers the newspaper. So when baseball commissioner Bud Selig announced on June 5 that with the sixth pick in this year’s baseball draft, the Seattle Mariners had selected Alex Jackson there were likely more blank stares than cheers from local fans. But that assumes that some locals were even watching the draft, which is doubtful. The hype and hoopla that surround the football and basketball drafts just don’t exist for Major League Baseball, whose draft was on a limited access network only for part of the first day. Amateur baseball players don’t have the name recognition of a Johnny Manziel or LeBron James. Perhaps when Ken Griffey Jr. (1987) and Alex Rodriguez (1993) were the first round picks overall, some fans had heard of them. But most of the time the players taken in the first round are rarely the greatest thing since Griffey and Rodriguez. Seattle’s other players selected first overall were Al Chambers (OF-1979), Mike Moore (RHP-1981) and Calvin Jones (RHP-1984). Those are names that do not come immediately to mind when fans think of memorable Mariners. As for an answer to the question about college baseball players, may I suggest Alex Jackson although technically his pick in the first round doesn’t qualify because (a) he hasn’t been signed yet (although talks with him are ongoing and look hopeful) and (b) he just finished high school at Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego, California, where he hit .400, with 11 home runs, four triples, and seven doubles in 35 games his senior season.

fielder, Jackson’s four-year batting average was .375. His 47 prep career home runs tied him with former Indians’ prospect Johnny Drennen (2002-05) for the all-time San Diego section record. Although many first round picks have played in Tacoma Griffey and Rodriguez played large portions of their careers in Seattle, but neither spent a lot of time in Tacoma - only a few are still with the organization at any level. They include IF Dustin Ackley (2009), RHP Taijuan Walker (2010), LHP Danny Hultzen, the second overall pick in the 2011 draft, C Mike Zunino (2012) and IF D.J. Peterson (2013.) Peterson was one of the few picks who was signed soon after being drafted. When Zunino was drafted, Tom McNamara, Mariners’ Director of Amateur Scouting,

called him “a tough kid who comes from a good baseball family,� adding he is “a dependable sturdy receiver with an accurate Major League arm and strong leadership qualities.� As far as his offense goes, McNamara said Zunino has extra base strength in his swing. Now compare Zunino to former Mariners catcher Jason Varitek. Drafted 14th in 1994, Varitek played 87 games in Tacoma in 1997 and may have made the biggest impact ever by a former Mariner on the team to which he was traded. Varitek was the Red Sox’ primary catcher after he and Derek Lowe were traded by Seattle to Boston in 1997 in the infamous Heathcliff Slocomb deal. Named Red Sox captain in 2004, he caught a major league record four no hitters and helped Boston win two World Series titles before retiring prior to the

2012 season. Sometimes it’s hard to tell how great a player’s real talents will become even after months of scouting. Preparing for each year’s draft begins long before the three-day event in early June. Scouting reports come in for months, even years, from all over the country. Players are evaluated for their skills or tools, as well as how they would fit into the system. Of course the player the Mariners figure to pick first could be gone by the time their turn comes. Then it’s on to plan B or maybe C. As soon as the draft is over, the signing process begins. Signing bonuses are involved. If players and their agents and lawyers do not feel the initial offers are what the players deserve, this process can go on for many weeks. The signing deadline now is in mid-July. Sometimes the

two sides cannot come to terms; then the player can choose not to sign, return to school, and go back into the draft the following year. So far this year the Mariners have signed 28 of the 40 draftees, including second pick Gareth Morgan from Toronto, Canada, also an outfielder who has just completed high school.. Morgan is 6-4 and weighs 220 pounds. The draft class of 2014 includes 21 pitchers, five catchers, nine infielders and five outfielders. Draft picks are signed for seven years with the organization but can be traded before that period is up. Hopefully Ackley, Walker, Hultzen, Zunino, Peterson, Morgan and the other recent draft picks are players who won’t be seen succeeding in other teams’ uniforms for many years to come.

All six were standout athletes at Lincoln High School and have maintained a love of athletics and leadership to this present day. The elder Shelton was very dynamic on the microphone as he spoke of his early experiences in Tacoma and raising up a family of Abes. Shelton was beaming from ear-to-ear with an infectious smile and looked as if he never wanted to leave the stage. The TAC also awarded the Excellence in Officiating Award to men from several sports. Larry Stevens, Bill Weathersby, Greg Farias, Clarence Leingang, Joe Tompkins, Paul Jensen and Hugh Birgenheier were all honored for achieving the highest-degree of dedication and professionalism in their respective sport. Before the big award was handed out, there was one more honor to be given – and it was probably the crowd favorite. Bob Robertson was on hand to accept the 2014 Doug McArthur Lifetime Achievement Award. Robertson is known around the state as the long-time play-by-play voice of Washington State Cougar football and basketball. Of course, Tacomans also know Robertson as the play-by-play voice of the Tacoma Tigers and Tacoma Rainiers for 16 seasons – and still behind the microphone for home Rainiers games on Monday nights. Robertson was also the play-by-play announcer of the original Seattle Sounders in 1974 and is a member of the Washington State Soccer Hall of Fame, as well as the recipient in 2013 of the “Golden Scarf � from the Seattle Sounders for his role in introducing the region to game of soccer. “Lifetime achievement?

The two highly-ranked squads squared-off for the fourth time this season and as expected, the game was intense from tip-off to final buzzer at the near-capacity Pacific Lutheran Gymnasium. Both teams had four players score in double figures, but the Abes’ Ahmaad Rorie was the difference in this game.

thought about it before ever and I made a killer cupcake one year and everyone went completely bonkers for them, “ Kropf said. Julie’s may also be one of the few bakeries in the world that serves more than just humans, providing not only gluten free doggy treats, but also dog birthday cakes for your pet’s special day. The dessert is specially crafted for puppies, containing ingredients such as beef and carrots. “I’ve had people put back food for them just to pick up some doggy treats,� Kropf said. Julie’s Gluten-Free Bakery is open six days a week, Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information on the bakery, call (253) 840-4080 or email Julie@juliesglutenfreebakery.com.

walk. Invite everyone to donate. Flynn bought into it and promised to help grow it. That is where Tacomans stepped in, ponied up and ignited the international movement that has raised $500 billion for the global – and personal – wars on cancer. Flynn and the Klatts came back the very next year. They developed a new model, and attracted 19 teams to a new venue; Stadium Bowl. This time the City of Destiny Run Against Cancer invited teams to rustle up pledges, bring their tents, camp out inside the oval and make a walking celebration of it. They raised $33,000. The true Tacoma spirit - that happy combination of grit, grace, destiny and possibilities, sustained the walk until, in a happy irony, it outgrew its name. Other communities wanted to copy it, two in Oregon and two others in Washington in 1987, but they were not cities of destiny. The American Cancer Society trademarked the fundraising model as Relay for Life and helped it go international. “Since then, more than 5,400 events take place worldwide, annually raising more than $355 million in the fight against cancer,� said Kimberly Dinsdale, Seattle-based ACS manager for media relations. “The dollars raised are used to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays through local community programs, through prevention and early detection awareness, advocacy and through nationwide research studies. An indescribable spirit was felt on the track during that first event, and it has prevailed worldwide ever since.� Those 5,400 events take place in 5,200 U.S. communities (including 13 in Pierce County), and 22 countries. Dinsdale was a teen when she connected with Relay when it debuted in Pasco.

W Charter rent nine to seven, would then serve as a legislative role of approving those plans. The full-time council would also have its own staff. A city report stated the change could cost as much as $1.5 million in added salaries, while the review committee’s math suggested the change could actually save money. The proposal was hotly debated during the charter review process that tallied more than 60 meetings in the last few months. Supporters, including review committee chairman and former Tacoma mayor Bill Baarsma and former council member/former Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg, championed

She stayed connected at the University of Idaho and earned a fuller understanding of how the funds raised work in the communities that donate them. The Road to Recovery is one of her favorite ACS programs. It matches volunteer drivers with patients who need a ride to their chemotherapy, radiation and medical appointments. Then there’s Look Good, Feel Better, which gives high-end donated makeup and a class on how to use it, to patients whose looks have changed during treatment. The American Cancer Society website is a trove of resources, Dinsdale said, including a phone line that patients, families and caregivers can call any time, day or night, for information, or simply to talk. All of that is free to the people who need it. Then there’s the research. ACS is supporting 21 researchers in Washington institutions, including Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and the University of Washington. All of that can sound academic, or carry a whiff of press release off the Relay for Life track, until you run into and old friend, a gentle man who spends part of his vacation each year volunteering at a camp for kids with cancer. He prefers to keep his name out of print. He was donating $20 for four luminarias, one for a friend who had died, one for his father, killed by cancer, one for his mother, who cared for her sweet husband, and one for a friend who will survive. He looked out at the stream of walkers – survivors, high school kids, crafters and twin lemonade stand philanthropists Jacob and Luke Alfonso, 8. He watched as nurses walked by and hugged their patients. He recognized docs, technicians, parents missing part of their hearts, and parents whose children are cancer free. “I wonder,� this kind man mused. “I wonder how many people would not be alive if it were not for this event.�

the change under the flag of transparency and accountability as well as to gather the vision of the city under an elected official rather than an appointed city manager. Opponents, including a minority of the review committee and former mayor Harold Moss, said the current system doesn’t need fixing, that the change would cost more in staff salaries and lower the role of voters in the process. “There’s an innate beauty to the system we have now,� Councilman David Boe said during the special session to discuss the 19 proposed charter amendment. The current charter allows Tacoma voters

to elect a majority of the council, their district representative, the mayor and three at-large positions. The proposed change would lessen that accountability to a voter selecting just their district council member and two at-large positions since the mayor would not serve on the council. There is a group organizing to potentially gather signatures to force the issue, but putting a citizen initiative on the ballot, might not come in time for the fall election. The council also whittled down the roster of 19 recommendations for further discussion. Changes still under review include extending term limits for the mayor and council members. The current limit is 10 years. The change would keep that cap but

DR. GORDON KLATT’S MESSAGE TO THE 9,3(@ -69 30-, On Relay for Life’s 30th anniversary June 14, organizers gave its founder, Dr. Gordon Klatt, its 2014 Hero of Hope Award. Klatt was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2012, and could not be at the Relay this year. Instead, he sent this message, read by his friend Harvey Rosen: Good evening, and welcome to the 30th Anniversary of Relay! Thirty years ago, I stepped onto the track at the University of Puget Sound with the vision to raise money for the battle against cancer. With the support of the Tacoma community and my colleagues, we have now grown into a global event. Each year, millions of people in over 23 countries raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives through the Relay for Life movement. Relay has raised more than $5 billion to help with groundbreaking research and to provide free information and services for patients and their families. My wife, Lou, and I are very grateful for all of your help with this vision. Without the dedication from all of you here in the Tacoma Community, we would not have grown to where we are today! Let us keep fighting for every birthday that is threatened by cancer in your communities and everyone else’s. Let us celebrate the survivors for what they have overcome and remember those who have lost to their disease. Let us honor the people who have fought and are fighting cancer. Let us thank our caregivers and families who have never given up. Let’s celebrate the 30 years of hope, and let’s finish this fight! allow council members who then become mayor to serve up to two terms. The council also wants confirmation authority of future Tacoma Public Utilities directors, with reappointments every two years. A handful of “housekeeping� changes were also approved for formal discussion in July. Those included using gender neutral language, aligning the charter’s antidiscrimination language to

reflect city code and state law and the use of emergency ordinances to be enacted immediately instead of only after legal notices are published. Removed from the list of changes were proposals that would require financial disclosure of city employees, creation of a citizen commission on redistricting and allowing the city to charge for employment tests.

W Lewis From page A1

“Actually, this year, especially this month, is very upsetting to me because I’m hearing about all these graduation parties, these kids graduating, and my daughter should be walking down that aisle this year, but she’s not,� said Lewis’ mom Theresa this week. She contacts me every year to make sure I haven’t forgotten about her daughter, to make sure that again this year, I will try to help bring her home. I haven’t and I will. Theresa has never given up hope that her little girl is alive and will return. She knows her daughter’s kidnappers are out there and has a message for them: “Let our family start over, you know. Let her come home to her mom and her sisters and her aunts and uncle and her grandma, you know. We want her home, and that’s all we’ve been trying for the past 15 years is get Teekah out there and say, ‘Look, it’s time for her to come home. These people just need to let her go. You don’t have to be caught. Just let her go. Walk away.’� If you have any information about Lewis’ kidnapping or think you know a girl who looks like the one in the age progression photo, call Tacoma Police or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. Councilmember Marty Campbell had also suggested a public financing model for council elections as a way to get more people involved in politics. It failed to gain enough support to more forward although the city could ask for an advisory vote. The slate of charter changes will face voters in November after the council formalizes the ballot language in July.

TAM displays extravaganza of Northwest printmaking

PHOTOS COURTESY OF TACOMA ART MUSEUM

(Top) “100 Long Lives” by MalPina Chan, 2010, monoprint and mixed media; (left) “Trepidation, from the Outside My Helmet series” by Dionne Haroutunian, 2011, etching, archival digital print; (right) “Roll Call II” by Joe Feddersen, 2012, relief print. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

“Ink This,” the latest offering from the Tacoma Art Museum, is a lavish, wonderful show that explores the wide and diverse world of print arts in the Northwest. Comprising more than 80 individual works of art, “Ink This” features examples of just about every kind of print making technique imaginable. There are linocuts, woodcuts, etchings, lithographs, monotypes, monoprints, serigraphs, aquatints, photopolymer prints, chine colle’, and letterpress books, posters and broadsides. Many of the artists employ more than one print technique to produce a work of art. Still others use collage elements, paint or fabric to augment their print work. Put together by Curator of Collections and Special Exhibitions Margaret Bullock, the exhibit is arranged thematically. Frank Boyden’s set of nine prints of skulls, for example, hang next to Seattle artist Ben Moreau’s detailed self portraits with a skull on his shoulder. Images that work with naturalistic forms are put together. Abstract works butt up against minimalist rectangles. Cheat sheets that summarize printing terms and techniques are available to visitors via handy wall mounted dispensers. There is so much sumptuous work on display here that no one should go away feeling uninspired. The show is like a crash course in print art. Venerable forms like the etching and the woodcut hang out alongside works made by digital means. Tacoma Art Museum has even included the work of a few Tacoma artists, an occurrence as rare as a planetary alignment. Among these is a sculptural “book” by our own Chandler O’Leary. Entitled “Local Conditions,” the “book” is an elaborate box with drawers and a display area that can be used to set up little dioramas using hand painted prints of our local landscape. The images and subject matter allude to Katsushika Hokusai’s “Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji,” a famous 19th century set of color, woodcut prints by the Japanese master printer. Other Tacoma letterpress artists include Jessica Spring, Yoshiko Yamamoto (recently moved to Tacoma from Port Townsend) and the design team of poster printers Lance Kagey and Tom Llewellyn who call themselves “Beautiful Angle.”

Former UPS professor Bill Colby is represented in the show by “Forest Haven,” a woodcut and watercolor composition of birds on fanciful boughs. (Look for a whole show of Colby’s work at the Gallery at Tacoma Community College opening later this month.) TCC faculty member Marit Berg’s etching “Trap #4” and Janet Marcavage’s screen-print “Heap” bring some additional hometown pride. Marcavage’s depictions of striped fabric folded or piled up are particularly interesting in the way they bridge the abstract and the figurative, the flat and the three-dimensional. Visual delights confront the viewer at every turn. Portland artist George Johanson’s hand-colored linocut “Polar Bears (The New Year)” is a dynamic interpretation of costume-clad people enjoying a cold water plunge to celebrate a new year. Pink, orange, lavender, white and blue pigment shows under the expressive lines cut into the linoleum block. The theme of bathers hearkens back to Renoir, Cezanne and the German expressionists. By contrast, Karen Quint’s charming etching “Old Apricot Tree in Tieton” is a demure yet memorable depiction of a somewhat anthropomorphic tree that grows near the entrance of the town of Tieton, WA. “Left unattended,” says Quint of this tree, “it bears hundreds of apricots each year. Everyone picks them.” Portland artist Laura Ross-Paul also has an interest in depicting trees as individuals. “Tree and Figure #11” is from a series of monotypes (done by putting paint onto glass and then pressing one-of-akind prints from there). Ross-Paul’s colorful, lumpy tree with rope-like branches is shown alongside a human bust mounted on a pedestal. “The close proximity of a variety of trees has led me to see them as individual conifer and deciduous citizens, each with its own personality, just as we humans have our own,” writes Ross-Paul. Several works combine printmaking with a woven effect. Christy Wyckoff’s “Displaced” is literally a weaving of screen-printed paper that is cut into strips. Joe Feddersen” “Role Call II” is a depiction of geometric figures that hearken to the basket weaving traditions of his Native American ancestry. Joan Stuart Ross places collage elements over expressive monotypes to create a layered,

effect that is not unlike a woven surface. This article is but a small sampling of what awaits visitors to this dynamic show. In conjunction with the exhibit, Tacoma’s Harmon Brewing Co. crafted a white imperial pale ale called ‘drINK THIS.” The ale is available in the museum’s café and at Harmon restaurants. The ale will also be served at a June 24 social gathering where many of the print artists featured in “Ink This” will be present. “Ink This” runs through Nov. 9. For further information visit www.TacomaArtMuseum.org.

HOMETOWN THROWDOWN

Seattle country station KKWF-FM (The Wolf, 100.7) hosted its first Hometown Throwdown shindig on Saturday, June 14, at Cheney Stadium, offering 10 hours of music that was capped off by “The Voice� winner Danielle Bradbery and hunky headliners Dan + Shay. Lukewarm, overcast conditions may not have wanted to cooperate; but revelers kept warm with chili – courtesy of the Homestyle International Chili Society’s Chili Cookoff – twirling and Texas Two-Steppin’ around the infield and cheering on Austin Jenckes, Rae Solomon, Robbie Walden and other up-and-coming, regional talent. It was enough to make you wonder why Cheney doesn’t host more shows when the Tacoma Rainiers aren’t in town. The good news, though, is that more shows may be on the horizon. “Last weekend was an important step toward learning how we can better host events such as the Hometown Throwdown,� explains Tacoma Rainiers publicist Ben Spradling. “Based off what we saw on Saturday, we’re extremely excited about the possibilities.� Ernest A. Jasmin, Tacoma Weekly

MOSS + MINERAL = UNIQUE ART AND DESIGN OBJECTS By Dave R. Davison

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Muesum of the Week: Fort Nisqually Living History Museum

Point Defiance Park, 5400 N. Pearl St. Wed.-Sun., 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Info: http://FortNisqually.org

M

oss + Mineral (M+M), a bold endeavor by Tacoma visionary and jewelry maker Lisa Kinoshita, is a brave little beacon of art and design nestled in Tacoma’s downtown core (across 9th Street from the Rialto Theatre). The small space is visually busy; yet there is room to maneuver. Aditionally, the greenery of strange and wonderful succulent plants exude all the comforts of chlorophyll into the atmosphere of the space. M+M is part design boutique, part jewelry shop, part plant nursery, part antique store and part art gallery. The space hosts rotating shows of work by local artists, jewelry makers and designers whose output is in sync with the eclectic, mid-century vibe of the place. This month, M+M hosts work by a talented cast in an exhibit called “Natural Spectacle: Art + Eco-Furnishings.� What jumps out immediately is a trio of large, ceramic heads by Tacoma ceramicist Claudia Riedener. Made of sculptural, akio clay, these monumental heads are a rare treat from Riedener, who is more known for her artistic tile work. Like fairy tale creatures with exaggerated features, the heads have a comical aspect. Yet there is also something disquieting about them. The show also features a number of black and white shots by Seattle photographer Harriet McNamara, who was an assistant to Bruce Davidson once upon a time. The pictures at M+M were mostly taken in Paris in the 1970s and 80s.

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. Visitors 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.

JUNE 2014

This week’s events:

Sat., June 21 (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) What’s Cooking?

PHOTO BY LISA KINOSHITA

MEET THE HEADS. Large, ceramic heads

by Tacoma’s Claudia Riedener are part of Moss + Mineral’s “Natural Spectacle� exhibit.

They are quirky vignettes that exhibit McNamara’s eye for composition as well as a wry sense of humor. A photo called “The Same� shows a dour nun striding past a wooden horse. The nun’s head and that of the horse are both set at the same angle setting up a visual parity between the two. Here and there in the space are some of Tacoma sculptor Holly Senn’s paper wasp nests. Senn often replicates forms from nature using paper from repurposed books. Furniture maker Carlos Taylor-Swanson is represented by a sturdy coffee table made from fat slabs of a wise old walnut tree that was salvaged from the aftermath of an arson fire in Sacramento. The slabs are so thick that the table has a commanding presence. Employment of interesting angles in the construction gives the

table the look of minimalist sculpture. Shelves made by the architecturally trained designers Adrienne Wicks and Jeff Libby (as a team they are called “birdloftâ€?) are made with hefty pieces of reclaimed wood that are floated in space by metal rods. M+M is also showing jewelry by Seattle’s Di Luce Design. Some are made with black and gold wire formed into intricate shapes. Other pieces incorporate polygonal pieces of mica. So tallyho and full steam ahead! Keep it up Moss + Mineral with all your plants and rocks and art and second-hand pots‌ You are one of the few points of light still shining in a civic artscape that is going increasingly dark. For further information, visit mossandmineral.com.

Dishing it up at Fort Nisqually! The aroma of succulent roasts, savory stews, and sweet cakes will greet guests during “What’s Cooking?� at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum as a dozen cooks. This year, the fort will host celebrity guest cook Paula Marcoux, food historian and author of “Cooking with Fire.� Marcoux will share her expertise as she demonstrates cooking techniques and gives a short talk about how cultural sources and archaeology teach us about past foods. Marcoux has worked professionally as an archaeologist, cook and bread-oven builder. She regularly writes on food history topics and consults with museums, film producers and publishers. Cooks competing for the Golden Skillet will do their best to impress a panel of judges with the taste and presentation of their dish. They will also try to sway the judges with a compelling story about how they created their tasty dish at Fort Nisqually in the 1850s.

Sun., June 22 (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) Crafts of the Past – Collecting and mounting botanical specimens

John Chau and Valerie Soza will be demonstrating the science and craft of collecting and preserving botanical specimens – work that Fort Nisqually’s William Tolmie undertook during the 1830s in the Pacific Northwest. The graduate students from the University of Washington will share the tools and methods of the 19th century botanist and talk about the differences to today’s methods. Guests will have a chance to add plants to a plant press. This demonstration complements the current exhibit, “Dr. Tolmie, the Naturalist.�

Exhibits:

Dr. Tolmie, The Naturalist (through July 20)

Its common name is the Piggyback Plant, but its scientific name is Tolmiea menziesii. It was named for William Tolmie, the on-site manager of Hudson’s Bay Company operations at Fort Nisqually from 1843 until 1859. A new exhibit at Fort Nisqually reveals the exploits of a younger Tolmie as he collected plants and animals of the Pacific Northwest. Tolmie’s mentor, botanist William Hooker, named the Piggyback Plant (also known as Youth-on-age or Pig-on-a-back) after his then 20-something student. “Hooker hoped that Tolmie would make great discoveries in the Pacific Northwest,� said Exhibit Curator Chris Erlich. Perhaps Hooker hoped Tolmie would collect as much as one of his other former students, David Douglas, who collected more 200 new specimens, including the Douglas Fir, which is named in his honor. Tolmie’s first botanizing expedition in the Northwest was history making. In 1833, he became the first European to enter into what is today Mount Rainier National Park. Images of several of the original specimens he collected on that adventure are included in the exhibit. Also on display are modern specimens of plants that were named in Tolmie’s honor, as he was the first to successfully collect them.

KING ARTHUR. (L to R) Steve Tarry (Arthur), Gretchen Boyt (Lady of

the Lake) and the Ensemble of Lakewood Playhouse’s production of Monty Python’s Spamalot. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

L

akewood Playhouse is ending its 75th anniversary season with sold-out houses of its season capper, “Monty Python’s Spamalot.” The show is a kidney-bursting comedy in true Python spirit as it tells the story of King Arthur’s search for the Holy Grail purportedly used during the Last Supper. Written by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, the musical has all the best from the Python canon of hilarity and a few extra little something-somethings to make it more than a traditional revue of the works by the legendary British comedy troupe. Possibly straight up heresy, the stage version might just be more funny than the movies that created it since Lakewood’s U-shaped stage requires all the actors to bring their funny bones front and center at all times because they are never more than a few feet from the audience. No actor can rest while another stage-trotter delivers hilarity. Everyone is required to be funny at all times through nuanced gestures and funny faces or risk dropping the theatrical illusion of acting at the feet of theatergoers. The actors have to peak their energy output anytime the limelight fills their faces.

Good thing then that the leads are far from strangers to the demanding stage Lakewood provides. Steve Tarry as Arthur against Coleman Hagerman’s Patsy and Gretchen Boyt in the role of the Lady of the Lake is casting perfection. Simply perfection. Tarry’s straight man delivery to Coleman’s comedic delivery of punch after punch of comedic one-liners create a duo of brilliant comedic timing. Boyt’s mystic siren turned fourth-wall breaking Broadway diva completes the funny trinity of parody awesomeness. True to Monty Python, the script has its fair share of crude remarks, innuendos and marginally naughty bits, but nothing is patently offensive, although parental discretion is advised. “Spamalot,” directed by John Munn, runs at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through July 13. Special Showings at 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 19 (Pay What You Can Night) and 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 26 (Pay What You Can - Actor’s Benefit) and a 2 p.m. July 4 are also on the list. Tickets are $29, $27 (military), $26 (seniors) and $24 (students/educators) and available at www.lakewoodplayhouse.org. The theater is located in the Lakewood Towne Center, next to the Pierce Transit Center.

f staging a play creates headaches and ulcers, then mounting a movie causes people to simply go mad. Tacoma Little Theatre’s second-stage production of “Moonlight and Magnolias” dives into that fact in a over-the-top, yetpointed comedy of the behind the scenes chaos during the early days of filming the epic “Gone with the Wind.” Producer David O. Selznick’s film had so many things working against it: a bad script, diva actors, generally unlikable protagonists. But contracts were already signed. Shooting had already started. Movie making was in motion, and it had to continue. The young film-making industry in Hollywood was all abuzz with the creation of this epic as the world prepares for yet another World War. Selznick (played by Blake York) has gambled everything only to see the filming fail. He punts, pulls director Victor Fleming (Jacob Tice) off “Wizard of Oz” to take over. Entering from stage left, famed screenwriter Ben Hecht (Tedd Saint-James) takes to rewriting the script. Five days. They have five days to get the show on track, so they bar themselves in Selznick’s office and get to work, fueled only by peanuts and bananas supplied by their personal secretary, Miss Poppenghul (Katelyn Hoffman). Suffice

it to say, they go nuts, taking the audience with them. “Moonlight and Magnolias,” directed by Pavlina Morris, is a roller coaster of touching moments that are then slapped with silliness only to be brought back to reality and then back to lunacy. Much of the comedy comes from the fact that Hecht just so happens to be one of the few people in the world to not have read the 1,000-page Margaret Mitchell novel. With no time to read it now, Selznick and Fleming act out the script as Hecht types out the dialogue. Sleep deprivation and the intestinal ills of eating only bananas and peanuts for days take over from there to create comedy gold. Such things are well-trod territory for York, and he rides that road hard. Tice also goes over the top in his march to madness during the marathon writing session. Anchoring the crew in the world of reality falls of the shoulders of SaintJames, who adds depth to the calamity with his “film has a higher role than simple entertainment” view of movies. Toss in Hoffman’s frustrated, yet motherly caring for the process and the play is complete. “Moonlight and Magnolias” runs at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through June 22. Tickets are $12 and may be purchased at www. tacomalittletheatre.com, or by calling our Box Office at (253) 272-2281. The theater is located at 210 North “I” St.

rganizers of the non-profit Music and Art in Wright Park festival will hold their next benefit show on June 28, a hardrockin’ bill that will bring Ex-Gods, Infinite Flux and Cody Foster Army (CFA) to the New Frontier Lounge. The goal is to raise $8,000 to $11,000 needed to put on their free, annual showcase of local punk, indie-rock and visual arts on Aug. 16 at Wright Park. In 2013, organizers raised those funds with a series of rock shows and yard sales, plus a calendar full of hunky Tacoma rockers. But this year, organizers have come up with their most brilliant idea to date, a project that’s sure to leave its mark long after the last band has broken its gear down. “Tacoma Music Conservation Compilation, vol. 1: Organic Arsenic,” a new collection of rare Tacoma punk recordings, will be on sale during the New Frontier benefit show. It’s a who’s who of popular local alternative rock bands of the last two decades. The likes of Plastards, the F---ing Eagles, 13 Scars, Kramer and reunited Tacoma rock heroes Seaweed are still alive and kicking. But many of the 29 featured bands have long been defunct – Swelter, My Name, Poppa Wheelie, Queer the Pitch, Montgomery and Portrait of Poverty among them. MAWP organizers are printing up 200 physical copies of the album that will be on sale for $10 each. “Anyone who donates any amount to us online will get a free download,” CFA namesake

performing at last year’s Music and Art in Wright Park festival with his band Furry Buddies.

Cody Foster explained. MAWP’s donation site can be found at sites.google. com/site/mawpfestival. Foster said MAWP would release a new CD every year, aimed at preserving Tacoma’s rich punk-rock legacy. A year after each one is released, 50 copies will be sent to local libraries for lending, he said. “Cody and a couple of other people have really gone out of their way and dug out some deep tracks from cassettes and people’s computers and DAT tapes and all kinds of stuff,” said singer-bassist Bill Schlanbusch whose bands, the Plastards and Spuj, will be featured on this year’s compilation. “I’m just really happy to see somebody do something like this,” he said.

“There’s been talk in the last couple of years, as people get older and we see our friends perishing, that maybe we oughta catch some of these stories.” Ken Johnson founded MAWP, which grew out of his label and record store, Mother Records, which used to neighbor Wright Park. The festival turned 20 last year with a lineup that included Girl Trouble, Deathbed Confessions, Furry Buddies, Big Wheel Stunt Show, Wheelies and more. Girl Trouble is the only act that is invited to play every year. Foster said the band would play again, along with Port Orchard’s Mos Generator, the popular hard-rock band that recently released a new album called “Electric Mountain Majesty.” But the full MAWP lineup has not yet been released.

HERB GODDESS HOROSCOPE Kerri Bailey is a horticulturist and a certified herbalist. She makes custom blends and consults at Ubiquitous Journey (www.UBJourney.com) on 6th Avenue. Kerri owns two businesses – the online herb store www.HerbalElements.net and a water garden store inside Alpine Nursery in South Hill (www.AlpineGrows.com) called The Pond Pad (www.ThePondPad.com). She writes blogs on gardening, ponds, natural health and herbal remedies and teaches classes through Free University (www.FreeUNW.com).

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Feeling like you are on Cloud 9? Your morale is very high, so enjoy your gifts from the stars with coworkers, friends and family. This is the perfect opportunity to accomplish whatever you wish. Engage in physical activities to help release excess energy.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) We might be feeling a little lost this week. Extra energy has been used in vain. Make changes that need to be made, not merely for the sake of change. Remember one of the hard facts of life: Take nothing for granted. Enjoy each day by being vigilant.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) You may find yourself feeling less grounded and secure this week. Keep your eyes on your wallet and other personal belongings. Your mind has been preoccupied reminiscing about childhood memories. Indulge in them by contacting old friends by phone, mail or social media.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Your natural ability to accomplish a great deal rather easily may be tested this week. A lot is going on around you and perhaps you feel like you can’t keep up. You gain focus and clarity by the end of the week as things slow a bit. Just remember to lighten up by going with the flow.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Control your temper and patience this week as situations and people may seem more annoying than usual. You will probably cross paths with eccentric people that differ from your way of thinking. They may teach you something strange that has value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Share your vision with others. You feel the need to talk about your views with friends and coworkers. You should be able to communicate clearly with people around you and they will be receptive to your ideas. Your day has finally come – you get what you wished for.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Curiosity is at its peak. You may find yourself drawn to learn more about your health and wellness and holistic treatments that may benefit you. Find long-term solutions that build healthy habits. The ultimate goal is to feel comfortable in your own skin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) You may need space in order to gain perspective to a situation. Step back and look at the big picture. It’s the right time to understand the needs of loved ones in your family circle. You may get the feeling that something strange is in the air. Keep your eyes open for possibilities.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) An explosion of creativity is building inside of you. Take advantage of this by exploring all possibilities. Relationships may seem to be spinning out of control. Some may not see your side of the issue. In a short time, they will come to realize the truth as you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Observe and appreciate the lightness of things. Life can be so beautiful on peaceful days. Indulge your mind in reminiscing on the past to work through currant issues, yet don’t get too caught up in old, sad memories that may weigh you down. Keep things light and calm.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Sometimes you have difficulty making up your mind. You don’t always know what you want either. But when you do find yourself confronted with big decisions, you’re able to do it. Be at peace with yourself to achieve clarity and feel more grounded.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Life can be much simpler when we take the time to slow down and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Allow yourself to meditate about your life and its current direction. In this frame of mind you can solve important issues. Take advantage of this energy to calm your mind, body and soul.
