THE LUCKY WOMAN’S GUIDE TO BREAST CANCER

NO BAD HAIR DAYS By Kathleen Merryman kathleen@tacomaweekly.com

When I started chemotherapy in February, dear friends shaved their heads to show their love and solidarity. Me? I started buying hats. My friends were willing to go bald, show bald, to give the raspberry to cancer. I wasn’t. Yet. Not that I didn’t think I was a gutsy cancer chick. I was pretty sure I was. I pasted a smile on my face, and realized that when I did, it leaked into my attitude, and I felt better. When the docs and nurses told us that exercise upped my chances of survival, my husband invited me to join him on his daily walk. Most days, I go. The same 1.7mile route changes every day and tapes me to the world where llamas appear in fields, people park 1999 Escalades, $9,000, firm, in their front yards, and something died in a ditch. I bought a wig, red and curly, like the hair I always envied, and found that it itched, and made me look organized enough to set hair, which I am not. We’ve named it Cashew, after the imperiled guinea pig on “House of Cards,” and

LIGHTHOUSE. Browns Point Lighthouse Park is set for a makeover. Puyallup Tribal ancestor Jerry Meeker’s legacy is at the center of talks. Meeker promoted salmon bakes at Browns Point that drew thousands of people to the area. His turn-ofthe-last-century real estate office has been restored and is now in search of a permanent home.

TACOMA PREPS FOR COMING GROWTH By Steve Dunkelberger

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

etro Parks Tacoma has three design options for improving Browns Point Lighthouse Park involving adding parking spaces, outlining event spaces and designating open patches of grass. Some money would also help fund renovations and repairs of the historic property. The $500,000 in earmarked work is part of the $84.3 million bond measure voters passed in 2005. The proposed changes fall into three design headlines. The Neighborhood Active design would have parking for 17 vehicles, outlined event and display spaces and a picnic pavilion as well as small boat collection areas. The Neighborhood Historic design would have 13 car spaces, open view areas, additional signs and restoration work of the historic ornamental garden, the lighthouse itself and repairs at the generator building. The Neighborhood Passive design would have a dozen parking spaces, restoration of a historic fence line and some shoreline restoration work. Bits of each design have been combined into a single plan following a public meeting Monday night. It’s not what is in this “final plan” that has raised the most concern for some people in the historical community. It’s what isn’t mentioned that has their eyebrows raised. The Points Northeast Histori-

cal Society has restored a singleroom, 8-by-12 foot real estate office that Puyallup Tribal member and council member Jerry Meeker used to sell waterfront lots for $250 during the early 1900s. The office had been lost to history until it was discovered in 2009 in the backyard of a nearby home. It has since been restored and stocked with plat maps and period artifacts as a way to more fully tell the story of early Tacoma and Pierce County development. The office is stored three blocks from the lighthouse and moved on a trailer to the lighthouse property for display during special occasions, including salmon bakes, a regional event that Meeker started generations ago. The historical society would like the park’s improvement plans to set aside a patch of land where the office could be located for permanent display. Talks have been ongoing for years, but nothing has come of them. But talks continue. “People love it, and it is an important part of the history of the area,” said society president Jim Harnish. “They (Metro Parks officials) have just been dragging their feet for years. Maybe they don’t want to be responsible for another building, but the historical society is the one that takes care of all the buildings.” But there are logical reasons for the foot dragging. Permitting a permanent location at the park for the restored real estate office requires a lot of signatures. The land is owned by the Coast Guard X See BROWNS POINT / page A2

Tacoma is working on a strategic plan that will provide the map of policy and zoning decisions in the years ahead. Work on this strategic plan through the end of the year will set the course for where city residents and government agencies want to be following the projected population and economic growth projected to come during the next 10 years. The plan will let city officials direct municipal efforts and taxpayer resources toward projects that promote the city’s vision regarding public safety, livability, economic climate, arts and recreation, education, government performance and infrastructure as the city and the region grow. The planning process and the community feedback it gathers will also be used during the budget discussions in the fall. The city would have a budget shortfall again this year if current levels of spending don’t change. Early projects put the shortfall at $26 million during the two-year budget for 2015-2016. That then shrunk to between an $8 million and a $12 million budget deficit for 2015-16 and recently shrunk again to about $6 million. Future budget gaps, however, run between $13 million and $19 million. Then there is the backlog of deferred maintenance to roads, buildings and bridges as well as computer and fleet vehicle purchases and upgrades that would also need to be addressed. People get involved in the process by participating in the online “Tacoma 2025 Engage Tacoma” community forum at EngageTacoma.mindmixer.com that touches on key topics, provide comments at City of Tacoma vendor booths at the South Tacoma and Proctor Farmer’s Markets and Ethnic Fest later this summer or attend a community-wide visioning meeting on Wednesday, July 30, at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center.

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

7th and MLK

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 roads riddled with holes, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Bulletin Board ;(*64( 20*2: 6-- 05+,7,5+,5*, WEEK WITH FAIR TRADE RALLIES As we celebrate our nation’s founding, concerned citizens across the country are coming together to challenge the next great affront to our democracy: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. This massive new agreement, negotiated mostly in secret, would trump local decisions on how we spend our tax dollars, what consumers should know, and even how to protect our environment. On June 30, local labor, faith, environmental, and civic groups rallied outside the offices of U.S. Representatives Derek Kilmer (Tacoma) and Denny Heck (Lakewood), demanding they not sign away Congressional oversight of this secretive trade agreement. In Tacoma, as local leaders shared their stories on how trade has impacted them, a giant Corporate-Octopus puppet (stuffed with dollar bills and manipulated by a crew of corporate cronies) tried to capture Lady Liberty, being stopped only by the appearance of a Congressional Superhero who, with support from the audience, fights off the CorporateOctopus with the power of his vote. Placards read, “No Fast Track for the TPP.� Gillian Locascio of the Washington Fair Trade Coalition explains. “At a time when rebuilding the middle class and supporting local economies is on the lips of every elected official, the TPP threatens to off-shore even more living wage jobs and ban key provisions like Buy American, farmto-school, and sweat-free procurement. The public isn’t even allowed to see what is being proposed in our names. How can Congress even consider signing Fast-Track and giving away what little oversight they have?� Fast-Track, a form of Trade Promotion Authority, would allow the president to sign the trade agreement before Congress approves it, limit debate, and restrict Congress to a yes or no vote. Until last year, not even Congress could see the negotiating texts of what would be the biggest trade agreement ever signed by the United States, covering an estimated 40 percent of the global GDP and including 11

and managed by Metro Parks, which in turn has a lease with the historical society to operate the facility, provide tours and host events on the property. The site is on the national registry of historical sites, but not on the Pierce County Registry after the Puyallup Tribe raised concerns about the land being inside the tribal reservation area. The lack of a local historical designation dramatically limits preservation grants available for the property. The overlapping interests of federal, county, parks, the non-profit historical society and tribal interests therefore means any changes at the lighthouse park requires intricate talks. Adding those talks would bog down the current parks improvement discussions, project manager Roger Stanton said. “We don’t want to open that can of worms. It is a mess just for that one issue,� he said, noting that the park plans include space for the real estate office to be on “temporary exhibit. “Obviously, that leaves the door open as to what ‘temporary’ is.� The location overlooking Commencement Bay from the uphill slope of Northeast Tacoma has been home to a lighthouse since 1887, two years before Washington became a state. A simple white lantern on a post was preplaced by a formal lighthouse and keeper residence in 1901. The cur-

other countries around the Pacific Rim – Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. While the public has been kept in the dark, some 600 official “trade advisors,� representing the largest corporations, have had special access. Jeff Panek, Puyallup resident and volunteer with Washington Move to Amend, adds, “With lobbyists, corporations and wealthy individuals having such a huge influence over our government, it’s no wonder they try to keep deals like the TPP secret. They create the laws in their favor and then it’s too late for people to speak out against them.� Advocates emphasize that trade can be good for businesses and communities, but that there need to be protections for labor and the environment. Dorothy Walker, of the Sierra Club Tatoosh Group, closed, “We live in a beautiful area surrounded by the wonderful natural resources of Puget Sound, the Cascades and the Olympics. We work hard to protect our clean air, water and natural habitats. I am concerned that the TPP, negotiated behind closed doors without input from the environmental community, will allow foreign corporations to sue our government by claiming our environmental regulations hurt their profits - allowing corporate profits to trump protections on our quality of life.�

:(3465 Jerry Meeker’s promotion of the community salmon bake drove thousands of people from around the area each year.

JERRY MEEKER

Jerry Meeker’s role in early Pierce County history, and that of the Puyallup Tribe, can’t be understated. Meeker seemingly did everything. He was a teacher, a businessman, an interpreter, a promoter and leader of his people for generations. Meeker was the son of Sky-uch, who went by the name “Jim� and worked for legendary area promoter and “hops king� Ezra Meeker. His father admired Meeker so much that he adopted his last name. Jerry Meeker was born in 1862 and attended the Puyallup Indian School. He helped organize an effort to shift the Northeast Tacoma area from King County to Pierce County jurisdiction in 1901. Meeker joined a real estate partnership, the Bethel Investment Co., with Fremont Campbell, J.M. Campbell, George Taylor, and Frank Ross in 1904. They acquired much of Browns Point and platted out the

Hyada Park development. Meeker gave the streets native names, including LaHal-Da, his own native name. Waterfront lots sold for $250 at the time, making Meeker a principal developer of the area. But he is most known for his salmon bakes in the 1930s. They started out as small gatherings but quickly grew to include regional events that drew thousands of people and countless dignitaries to the area. They continue to this day and are sponsored by the Browns Point Improvement Club. Meeker died at the age of 93 in the 1950s. A neighborhood park and middle school bear his name. With the death of his granddaughter, his home has come under the ownership of the Puyallup Tribe. Tribal members have also preserved many of his possessions, including woven baskets and photographs that had been stolen and found their way to a local auction house in 2009.

New bill could introduce first national heritage area in Washington By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

Though most Tacomans are well aware of our city’s uniquely beautiful waterfront, a grassroots effort has risen up to establish a National Maritime Heritage Area in Washington State along the Puget Sound, bringing the body of water to the stage of national recognition. The effort has been headed by the Washington Maritime community and after a decade of petitions and meetings, congressmen Derek Kilmer and Denny Heck are championing a bill in congress that would designate the area as a National Maritime Heritage Area in Washington State. The government defines a National Heritage Area as a space designated by Congress as places where natural, cultural and historic

Please send news and story fighting theyour court system to getideas your tochild news@tacomaweekly.com. back following a Child Protective Services investigation. The threat might just hamper those efforts. One guy apparently didn’t think of that fact after he was arrested at a restaurant at the 2400 block of Pacific Avenue on June 28. Police were called to remove the man and his friend because a clerk suspected them of dealing drugs and asked them to leave. They refused. Police arrived within minutes of the call and talked to the men. They denied drug dealing but admitted to refusing to leave the restaurant. One man was cleared of warrants and released. The father of the year, however, was not so fortunate. He was arrested for an outstanding warrant. He was handcuffed and became abusive the moment the steel bracelets finished clicking into place. He first refused to put his legs into the car so the officer could close the backseat door and then began a profanity-riddled rainbow of colorful language to shower the officer with threats to kill him and his family. He also made several references to child rape and how CPS had taken away his child.

Instead, improvements have been made, as construction projects were required to meet modern standards and as schoolchildren safety grant funding allowed. A round of community meetings developed the list of potential projects. Some 385 people provided their thoughts, with a tally of 650 comments about ways to spend the construction money. “In the last month, we have really been

The final round of community meetings are underway to determine the neighborhood projects around the city that will lead to safer street intersections around parks, schools and walking routes. The City of Tacoma announced in the spring that it would spend $2.5 million on planning, designing and constructing pedestrian crossing improvements throughout the community. Each of the city’s five council districts would get about $300,000 in crosswalks and intersection upgrades while downtown would

resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape, Congress has already designated 49 other spaces across the country as Heritage Areas. The area would be non-regulatory and would not require any land acquisition. “We’re not imposing anything that would result in new federal regulations, but rather something that will empower the community,� Kilmer said at a celebration at Tacoma’s Foss Waterway on June 30, honoring the declaration of the bill. More than 50 community members and leaders came out to celebrate the creation of the bill. “I can’t think of a better place to celebrate our extraordinary maritime heritage,� Kilmer said. The distinction of being a heritage site offers several advantages to the state and the City of Destiny. The first and most direct benefit involves qualifying for state and federal grants for the Sound, including Foss Waterway that may not have been possible before. This extra money would go to local organizations and tribes and be used toward recovery for the Sound or

introducing new tourist options. “That’s going to enable us to have resources we didn’t have access to before,� Heck said, The second advantage is the boost to maritime economic development, which comes from increasing the visibility of the port and establishing it as an area filled with history. This increased visibility could also bolster the amount of tourism the area sees. The designation could help educate Tacomans about not only the history of the waterway, but all the benefits the modern day Waterway offers. “Sometimes I think we are the best kept secret out there,� Washington State Historic Preservation Officer Allyson Brooks said. “There was incredible energy and persistence in making this happen.� Finally, bringing attention to the Puget Sound could enhance recovery efforts, something Kilmer and Heck are very invested in. Both congress members co-founded the Puget Sound Recovery Caucus. The caucus is the only Congressional working group devoted exclusively to promoting Puget Sound cleanup efforts, and builds on the legacy left by former Congressman Norm Dicks, a longtime advocate for the health of the Puget Sound. “We need to make sure that a generation or two or three from now get to

going through the data,� Project Manager Mark D’Andrea said. Most of the work will be crosswalk striping and signage, installation of ramps at intersection curbsides and signal upgrades, especially if the work can be funded through partnerships with new construction nearby or utility work. “There will be a lot of intersections touched through this,� said D’Andrea. The current round of meetings presents that information about neighborhood street improvements as a way to better prioritize which intersections become safer first based on their cost and impact on safety since the roster of proposed

enjoy [the sound] in the same way we have,� Heck said. And it is because of the Sound’s rich history that groups work so hard to preserve it. “Heritage is more than history; heritage tells us who we are today,� Port of Tacoma Commissioner Claire Petrich said. The Heritage Area will not only be the first established on the west coast, but will also be the first to focus exclusively on maritime history. “Historic preservation is not about our past, it’s not about where we are right now, it’s about our future,� Mayor Marilyn Strickland said. “Maritime history is something really big we can claim as our own.� According to the Washington Tourism Alliance the maritime industry in Washington State supported nearly 155,000 jobs and generated more than $1 billion in revenues in 2013. “Seattle and Tacoma made their bones in maritime trade during the Alaska Gold rush,� Heck said. Though Heck and Kilmer are the ones creating the bill in congress, it would not have happened without the support of an entire community coming together to get the recognition. “The boat moves best when all oars are in the water, rowing in the same direction,� Kilmer said.

improvements greatly outlasts the money available. One meeting was held on Tuesday to outline the targeted intersections in downtown, the North End and North East Tacoma. A meeting covering improvements to Central Tacoma, South Tacoma, the South End, and East Side will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 9 at the Blix Elementary School Cafeteria, 1302 E. 38th St. Dovetailing into this work is the ongoing crafting of the city’s Transportation Master Plan, which will also have rosters of intersection and street improvements around the city’s more traveled streets.

man’s CPS caseworker and his probation officer. The final statement in the report was simply, “Probation does not appear to be an adequate or safe form of supervision for him.� Gee, ya think? Independence Day weekend is going to be an odd family gathering for one man after he used his brother’s name as his own during a drunken driving arrest at the corner of South 12th Street and Durango on June 26. Two officers spotted a speeding truck during a patrol and stopped the driver. The man said he didn’t have an identification card but provided a name. A computer search determined that the name the man provided was linked to a sibling that happened to have a warrant. The man was highly intoxicated, so the officers followed a hunch and played along for about a half hour and then called the man by the “brother’s� name. He responded only to catch himself in the slip. But it was enough. He then admitted to using another name as a way to avoid arrest for the warrant. The officers tacked obstruction charges on top of drunken driving. And then there is that matter of drug-burning spoons and needles found in the car. The track marks on the man’s arm looked like a Morse Code version of the telephone book. The drugs were likely his. That might come up at the family cookout this weekend.

Going to College? Ask This! By Laura Finley Students heading off to college for the first time, or even to a new campus as a transfer, are always full of questions. As an academic adviser at my university, I am happy to answer whatever a student or parent who accompanies their son or daughter might ask. Most of the questions I have been asked, however, are related to the pathway to graduation and career opportunities thereafter. While surely these are important areas for consideration, I believe that students and their parents might benefit from asking a different set of questions that better gets at the real goal of higher education: to transform young people into people who can create a better world. To that end, I offer the following five potential questions that students and/or their parents should ask when they meet with academic advisers, university admissions staff, orientation leaders, or others with whom new students interact in their first few days. I briefly unpack each here, although surely many other extension questions can be appropriate as well. 1. What is the classroom experience actually like? Will professors work hard to reach learners of all sorts? This is essential, since we all know that people learn in many different ways. Since most of the education in the U.S (from K-12 through college) privileges verbal learners who can listen and take notes from which they study, this question is particularly

important for those who require different teaching modes. 2. Does advising focus only on coursework and timely graduation? Some might ask, but what else would it emphasize? The answer is: A lot! If faculty members are the advisers, these sessions can be an important one-on-one mentoring session in which career and life tips are shared. Good advisers can help students understand not only how to prepare for their careers but also how to use the skills and knowledge they are obtaining to better their communities. 3. Are there opportunities for students to interact with faculty and staff outside of the classroom? Students can and should be offered opportunities to engage in campus and community service in which their professors are involved, as well as in research projects. These experiences not only add to students’ knowledge base but they also enhance their confidence and leadership skills. 4. Is the campus safe? Colleges and universities are responsible for creating safe educational spaces for students. This includes minimizing the risk that students will be harmed by some of the most common crimes occurring on campuses, like sexual assault and dating violence, but also that classrooms and other environments will be safe for students to express their beliefs and ideas without suffering emotional or physical danger. Is there any written campus civil discourse set

of standards? Do professors protect that safe educational environment even when uncomfortable conversations are encouraged (for example, would a student be allowed to use a racial, gender, sexual, religious, or other identity slur)? 5. Does the college or university celebrate the achievements of ALL students? As a former collegiate athlete, I surely benefitted from the privilege many colleges and universities afford to student-athletes in terms of accolades. But much research has shown that the best educational climates are those in which different skills and knowledge are not only acknowledged but applauded. That means that colleges and universities must be equally excited, and share that excitement, when the Ethics Bowl Team, the Model UN, or other clubs, organizations, or students achieve at high levels. I believe that advisers should be able to respond to each of the above. If not, it says a lot about the institution. In sum, students, and the parents or others who support them, deserve an education that will not only teach but transform. It is my hope that perhaps this line of inquiry can help people determine whether a specific college or university is the best place for that to occur.

America’s independence means reducing foreign dependence By Don C. Brunell While much of today’s news deals with America’s decline, there is hope we can stimulate our economy, create manufacturing jobs and pay down our national debt by increasing our manufacturing and energy production. While goods were once proudly “Made in America,� many of our manufacturing plants are shuttered. When we go to stores today, too often the labels say “Made in China.� How do we turn this around? One company at a time. In January 2013, Walmart announced it will buy an additional $50 billion in U.S. products over the next 10 years in an effort to grow our manufacturing and encourage the creation of U.S. jobs. In addition, Walmart has created a $10 million fund to stimulate U.S. manufacturing. Walmart supplier Kent International, a New Jersey-based bicycle maker, announced in January that it will move its production from overseas to Clarendon, South Carolina. Kent will create 175 new jobs, with the goal of assembling 500,000 bicycles annually in the U.S. by 2016. The focus is on creating American jobs. Walmart, the world’s largest private employer, employs around 1.3 million people in the United States. Last year on Memorial Day (2013), the company announced it would offer a job to any honorably discharged veteran during the first year after

they leave the service. One year later, Walmart reported it had hired more than 42,000 veterans, with a goal of hiring 100,000 veterans. Walmart is not alone in its effort to create new U.S. manufacturing jobs. As U.S. manufacturers become more competitive in the global market, many companies are “reshoring� their production back to home turf. According to economists at Euler Hermes North America, a leading provider of export and trade credit insurance, American manufacturers are expected to invest $500 billion in U.S. manufacturing this year. A poll of 200 U.S.-based executives by The Boston Consulting Group found that 54 percent are considering or planning to “reshore� production, which is up from 37 percent in 2012. One of the most visible recent examples was Apple’s decision to build a new plant in Arizona instead of China, where the company has traditionally placed most of its manufacturing. Why the turnaround? Dan North, Chief Economist at Euler Hermes North America, says there are two main reasons: energy and workers. The energy revolution was unforeseen even five years ago. Fracking and horizontal drilling have now opened up 100 years’ worth of natural gas reserves and massive new oil finds. As a result, the U.S. pays $3-$4 per mmbtu (the term commonly used by natural gas producers), while the rest of the world pays $10-15. Thanks to fracking, America’s

imports of foreign oil fell to 36 percent in 2013, down from a high of 60 percent in 2006. That not only reduces our dependence on volatile – and often hostile – foreign oil producers, it creates American jobs. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that by 2024 domestic energy development could add nearly 1.4 million new jobs in various U.S. industries. The second major factor leading to the reindustrialization of America is the people who work in manufacturing. U.S. workers are among the world’s most productive. They are a primary reason that Boeing, the world’s largest assembler of airplanes, invests in our state. The bottom line is American manufacturing and energy development can propel our economy and job growth if politicians and government regulators allow it. The resulting tax revenues would help reverse the surging $17.5 trillion federal debt, giving us the opportunity to start paying off our nation’s credit card. Energy independence, a revitalized economy and new manufacturing jobs in America – something to think about this Independence Day. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.

The words are simple, elegant and brilliantly bold not only for its time, but for future generations to ponder. White-wigged men had gathered in Philadelphia during the summer of 1776 to continue the discussion of how to create their own nation out of the collection of English colonies established in North America. The effort had been bubbling for years and had resulted in riots and protests with increasing cost to life and property. King George III had already declared that the American colonialists were “engaged in open and avowed rebellion.â€? England Parliament had subsequently passed the American Prohibitory Act that made all ships and their cargo owned by American colonialists subject to seizure in the name of the King, who was already in negotiations with German guns for hire to enforce his rulings and put down the oncoming rebellion. Outspent, disorganized and faced with the largest navy and most modern army in the world at the time, leaders of the 13 colonies sought a new nation at all costs after King George III not only refused to negotiate but increased his demands for taxes and duties from the colonies. So the founding fathers went for broke by signing an act of treason against the crown by putting their names to the Declaration of Independence: “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security‌â€? Few people would argue that the nation’s current state of affairs is working properly. But fewer still seek to bring the change they seek by getting involved in the political process either through volunteerism or even filling out a ballot, while still griping about politicians. To steal from Thomas Paine, “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.â€? Register to vote. Be a patriot, not a summertime soldier.

“He’s a predator. He is a sex predator,� said Lakewood police detective Ryan Larson, who, along with FBI and Homeland Security agents, spent eight months investigating Young for sex-trafficking, using coercion and drugs to convince more than a dozen women to work for him. That’s how they found the nearly 20 videos online in which Young calls himself “Kunfetty.� “He said when he got out of prison he wanted every day to be like a party and, of course, at parties, anyway, the parties he goes to, they throw confetti.� The party is over for now though for Young, who has 14 convictions, and his cousin, Tony Jackson, or “Charm,� who served time for promoting prostitution. Both were arrested in Portland and charged federally with trafficking women for sex between Portland and Pierce County. The Joint Task Force dubbed it “Operation Dollar Bill� for the cash Young wears in his hair in his driver’s license photo. Both Young and Jackson pleaded not guilty in Federal court in Tacoma last week. “He’s an entrepreneur of the streets. He’s exploiting women. He’s out there looking for vulnerable women,� said Larson. When detectives looked at the videos that show both suspects, they found several with Young taunting Lakewood police, saying, “Maurice Clemmons done knocked out four of these mother f****** and they

s I drove through yet another rainstorm toward Graham, I felt my blood begin to heat up. It was Saturday, June 28, and on today’s menu was the 45th Tacoma Highland Games. On television I’ve seen the large men in kilts throwing around massive amounts of weight, so I knew I was in for a treat seeing it live for the first time. And perhaps, I would finally get a taste of Scotland’s most famous dish: Haggis. I wasn’t going to be afraid any longer. It was time. First-off, the rain was gone by the time I arrived at Frontier Park, as if the Good Lord had washed the fields clean for the good Scottish folk that were about to drum, pipe, dance, eat, drink and heave ridiculously heavy objects throughout the day. It was still early, so I decided to bypass the Haggis tasting, but needed to scope-out the food truck I would be hitting for it. A line of over 30 people greeted me waiting to sample the delicacy that is usually spoken of in hushed, frightened tones. Haggis, for the unenlightened, is a concoction of something called “sheep’s pluck” mixed with onions, oatmeal, suet (suet?), spices and a bunch of other

secret Scottish ingredients stuffed into an animal’s stomach and simmered for a few hours. Sheep’s pluck, of course, sounds more inviting than heart, liver and lungs; thus the mysterious, nondescript name. “What’s for dinner, Ma’am?” “Sheep’s pluck, my darling.” “Sounds great, Ma’am!” So with my Haggis destination linedup, I headed over to the heavy field events oval for what I really came for. I had no need to use my program map as the loud grunts and cheering led me straight to it. Several small stands were set up and filled with happy Scot spectators. As in previous entries in my “Out of My Element” series, I found myself transfixed upon a feat of sport, skill and power that I had never witnessed first-hand before. Unlike the previous tackles, punches, hip-checks, head locks and arm-bars, this time I was greeted by mammoth men in kilts, tossing around what looked to be items that normally would keep large sailing vessels anchored in one spot. I’m a fan of track and field. However, after viewing a Scottish field event, the regular stuff they try and pass off at track meets now pales in comparison. If you’re going to throw some items around, why not make them a little more challenging? The Scots seem to have no problem

with that. At the NCAA or state track meet, do competitors swing around and toss a 56-pound weight nearly 30 feet through the air? I’m afraid not. At the Olympics, do the finest athletes in the world pick up an 18-foot, 120 pound log and launch it cart-wheeling into the sky? No, but after seeing it I can’t figure out why not. If fans can lose their collective minds over the winter game of curling, there’s no reason to believe they wouldn’t go absolutely bonkers for men (and women) catapulting tree-trunks around a ring. The event is called the “caber toss” and it comes from the Gaelic term “cabar” which means a pole or beam. Of course, this is not to be confused with the “caper toss” which is merely a food fight in most Mediterranean countries. But I digress. The caber tosser is not looking for distance in this event; instead they are trying to flip the log end-over-end with the top and bottom landing perfectly straight-out, like the 12 and six hands on a clock, from where they heaved it. I must point out that the women compete in all of these events as well with slightly smaller weights and sizes. For instance, instead of 18-foot logs in the caber, theirs’ were more in the 14-foot ballpark. I must point out that after takX See HIGHLAND GAMES / page A13

Tacoma’s South Sound FC put together a stellar performance on both sides of the ball Saturday, June 28, as they handed the visiting Yakima United FC a 2-0 shutout at Lakewood’s Harry Lang Stadium. The victory kept the Shock at the top of the Evergreen Premier League standings with four games remaining in the regular season. The first 15 minutes of the match were a well-contested back-and-forth go of it with both sides getting a feel for each other. South Sound goalkeeper Chris Kintz was tested early on a well-struck corner kick that looked to be looping toward the far side of the goal. Kintz punched the ball up and over the crossbar and the South Sound defense stiffened-up from that point. In the 18th minute, Shock midfielder Scotty Hanson took a sharp pass down the sidelines from defender Luke Broz. Hanson was able to create a little space between him and his defender, set quickly and fired a cannon-shot past Yakima goalkeeper Antonio Gonzalez for the opening goal of the match. After taking the 1-0 lead, Shock striker Miquel Angeles began asserting himself on the Yakima end, harassing Gonzalez and his fellow defenders whenever they touched the ball. It paid off in the 33rd minute when midfielder J.J. Schmeck somehow maneuvered through a host of Yakima defenders and skipped a pass to a blazing Angeles. In his usual fashion, Angeles wasted little time dribbling the ball and hammered a left-footer from 16-yards out for a 2-0 Shock lead. Angeles would have five shots on goal in the first half alone, but the one netter was all he would manage. The second half saw the Shock bear down on defense as Yakima stepped-up the pressure on both ends of the pitch. It took three fantastic saves by Kintz to preserve the win for the Shock. In the 53rd minute, a loose ball in the Shock box led to a Yakima header toward the goal that Kintz was able to stop just an inch or two from crossing over the goal line. Four minutes later Kintz did it again stopping what looked to be an easy goal with an impressive block with his legs. Kintz stopped one more in the 77th minute in a one-on-one situation by jarring the ball loose with a slide tackle, followed by a stroke of luck as Yakima’s Hector Valdovinos tried to get a toe on the ball while off-balance and the shot went wide. The last 20 minutes saw the South Sound get a little wild and loose on defense, giving Yakima several chances to score. However, Yakima’s frustration was evident as it wasted several opportunities with rushed and lengthy shots that went wide at the Shock goal. With four games remaining the South Sound FC (8-1-1) has 25 points in the EPLWA standings leading the second-place Vancouver Victory FC (8-3-0) by one point, with Vancouver left with just three games on the schedule. South Sound FC returns to action July 5 as they travel to face Wenatchee United FC before returning home July 10 to host the Seattle Stars FC for a 7:30 p.m. start at Harry Lang Stadium.

TACOMA ATHLETIC COMMISSION HONORS ALAN SHELTON FAMILY By Justin Gimse

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

T

he Alan Shelton family is certainly no stranger to the Puyallup Tribe and citizens of the Tacoma area. Along with his wife Shari, the couple moved to Tacoma in 1984, raised six children and have been active in the community ever since. On June 16, the Shelton family was honored at the Tacoma Athletic Commission Athletes of the Year banquet with the “First Family of Sports Award.� Thirty years ago, Alan Shelton accepted a job with the Puyallup Tribe in its small clinic and is currently the Clinical Director of the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority. “It has gone by pretty fast,� said Shelton with his usual good-natured laugh. “It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long in some respects. When I first came here I didn’t expect to stay so long-term. It grew on me and I felt at home. “You get to know the people and build relationships. That’s what it is all about.� At the TAC Awards ceremonies, Alan Shelton was very dynamic on the microphone as he spoke of his early experiences in Tacoma and raising a family of Lincoln Abes. He was beaming from ear-to-ear with an infectious smile and looked as if he never wanted to leave the stage as he was joined by his children – all grown up now. Alan and Shari Shelton’s children – Aaron, Aubrey, Ben, Austin, Karina and Kaleb Shelton – have all excelled on and

off Tacoma sporting fields throughout elementary, middle school, high school and college. Now accomplished professionals in their own fields of work, they felt honored by the recognition. “It’s a really special thing having played together all of our lives and we’ve had so much fun together,� said eldest son Aaron Shelton. “We’re happy about it (the award) and it’s nice to see other people appreciate it too.� When asking Alan Shelton how he and his wife were able to juggle so many activities for their children over the years, he is quick to point out the job Shari has done. “I have to give my wife most of the credit,� he said. “She always made sure they did their homework and practiced their music before they did their sports. Which they did and it seems to have worked out pretty good. “We didn’t have to compete with cell phones and video games then. It is much easier to become distracted today. Kids do much better when parents are involved in their lives. Each kid has their gift and whether its things like church or music or sports, they can feel and need that support.� It also helps to have some of the athletic genes that Alan and Shari passed on to their children. Alan was a standout basketball player and runner while attending Christian Academy near Tokyo, Japan in the early 1970’s. Upon graduation he attended Seattle Pacific University on a track scholarship, but a foot injury his freshman year made him focus more on his studies and he ended up going to

medical school. When their children were still small, Shelton began coaching basketball teams at the Boys and Girls Club where his kids played on teams that won several city championships. He followed that up with forming and coaching the AAU basketball team, the Tacoma Knights, which he directed for 10 years. Later, he became the team physician for the Lincoln Abes basketball program for the last 20 years. He says one of his most favorite memories was sitting on the bench with the 2001 Lincoln boys team that won the state championship. While Alan Shelton was the drivingforce behind the Shelton kids’ athletics, it was Shari who encouraged and coached the children’s gifts in music and academics. “While I was never in organized sports, I feel as if I had a great hand in our children’s success in sports, academics and music,� said Shari recently to the Tacoma Athletic Commission. “All did very well in school. Austin even was valedictorian at Lincoln. “They have been a very fun, sweet and lively bunch to raise, and have all been a blessing to us. It wasn’t always easy though, and we were always thankful for the support of our extended family and our church family, helping us in many vital ways.� In winning the “First Family in Sports� award, the Sheltons join a list of prior winners that are easily recognizable names to Tacomans. Among some of the previous honorees are the Clark, Medved, Tingstad,

Huard, Westering, Hannula, Names and Williams families. “I was thinking they were maybe scraping the bottom of the barrel,â€? Alan said, laughing once again. “When I first started with the kids at Lincoln, I didn’t realize I was going to be going to these things for 20 years. They were successful at Lincoln and we were deeply honored to receive this award.â€? With 30 years under his belt with the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority, Alan was excited to see his son Austin follow in his footsteps. After attending Pacific Northwest University Medical School, Austin became a medical resident at the newly formed family practice residency at the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority. The small clinic that Al joined in 1984 has blossomed into a one-of-a-kind facility with over 170 employees providing health care to Native American residents of Pierce County. “I was real pleased with his decision,â€? Alan said. “I won’t be there forever and he is someone that will have the same sort of love for the community when I’m someday gone. I’m very proud of him. This new residency has been a wonderful new project – the only Tribe that we know of the country that has a program like it‌ training doctors to work with Native Americans. “As far as the Puyallup Tribe goes – it has been my privilege. They’ve given more to me in 30 years than I could have imagined. I think I’ve got another 10 years in me though,â€? he said, followed by yet another bout of laughter.

Tacoma Rainiers pitcher Taijuan Walker has been named the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week for the week of June 23-29, the league office announced June 30. Walker, 21, made one appearance with the Rainiers over that stretch, posting a nine-inning shutout in Tacoma’s 2-0 win over Oklahoma City on Tuesday, June 24. The right-hander limited the RedHawks to four hits, issued one walk and struck out a season-high eight batters on the way to collecting his first career shutout. The outing marked the second complete game of Walker’s career and first since tossing nine innings with Single-A Clinton in a win against Great Lakes on June 13, 2011. In six starts at Tacoma this season, Walker has compiled a 2-1 record and a 4.11 ERA. He has struck out 29 batters, walked 10 and held opposing hitters to .190 average in his second season with the Rainiers. Walker originally joined Tacoma’s roster on May 28 as part of a Major League rehab assignment before he was officially optioned to the Rainiers on June 10. Walker is pitching in his fifth professional season since his selection by Seattle as the 43rd overall pick in the supplemental first round of the 2010 draft. The Yucaipa (CA) High School product entered his 2014 campaign ranked by Baseball America as the No. 1 prospect in the Mariners farm system and he was listed by MLB.com as the No. 2 right-handed pitching prospect in the minor leagues. The weekly league award is the first collected by a Rainiers player this season and the second of Walker’s career. He previously earned PCL Pitcher of Week honors for the week of August 19-25 last season.

Local Restaurants BLUE MAX MEATS OFFERS NOSTALGIA ALONG WITH MEATS By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

running back. Recently, Blue Max Meats also introduced the Pabst Blue Ribbon Braut and the BLT Braut, ensuring that the meat market offers products you really can’t find anywhere else. But above and beyond that, they make sure the product is something you would want to discover. “I think people come here definitely because the food we offer is superior and we hear that back from our customers every day,� Marshall said. “But right alongside that is our customer service.� Marshall’s business partner, Evan Greco, has grown up in the Puyallup area and is happy to be giving back to the community that raised him. “It’s a great mixture of the sites in the area and a lot of really great people,� Greco said. Blue Max Meats continues to expand thanks to the ambition of its young owners. “We’re a bunch of young guys. We’re trying to make a dream come true trying to help everyone get what they want,� Marshall said. For more information on Blue Max Meats, call (253) 535-6110.

alking into Blue Max Meats, located at 9512 Canyon Rd. E. in Puyallup, feels like a blast from the past. Not just because of the bow tie wearing employees who look like they are from the 50’s but the idea of a full service meat market offering in-house jerky, bratwurst, pepperonis and more itself seems a little old school. “Everybody wears a nice white shirt and bow tie. Not only do we do superior customer service but for a lot of people we create a nostalgic feel. With the bow ties and the immediate customer service, it takes a lot of people back to when they were younger and were able to experience that on a regular basis, maybe with their parents,� co-owner Tommy Marshall said. Blue Max offers more types of meat than most people could memorize, but the friendly employees will always help customers find exactly what they are looking for. “Someone can walk in here, immediately be faceto-face with someone to get them what they want but also help them decide what they want based on a recipe or what they want to cook,� Marshall said.

ing in some of the heavy field events, I snuck away to the food area to finally try my hand at some Haggis. I was greeted with the same 30-plus person line, although they had different faces this time. I wasn’t losing my mind. Instead of standing around in line for what I was sure was going to be hours, I made my way over to the pipe and drum competition. I’ll say that I’m not quite sure what makes one band better than the other. They all kind of sounded the same to me – that sound being totally awesome, of course. I scooted back over to the sports area, passing the Haggis line, which still looked 30-strong. Was this

a message from God? I wasn’t buying it. That line was going to shorten and that Haggis was going to be mine before I left. Some more sports and I’d return. Another impressive event I took in was the Sheaf Toss. Competitors use a pitchfork to whip a 20-pound bag of straw up and over a bar set above their heads - and I’m talking well over 20-feet above their heads. I’m pretty sure I got three hernias just watching it all. Not to be outdone, one of the craziest sights is the Weight for Height event. The men use a 56-pound weight with a handle (the women use a 28-pounder) and with just one hand they were clearing well over a 10-foot bar.

Call me nuts, but if you can throw 56-pounds over 10-feet straight up, you’re pretty much a superhero. Other events included the Braemar toss, hammer throw and the light and heavy weight for distance. The events were a true spectacle. I can’t even begin to imagine trying them myself.

“Nobody

panic” Country star sheds light on new solo disc before his appearance at Freedom Fest

ynamic country duo Sugarland has taken some time off since releasing its last hit album, “The Incredible Machine,” in 2010. But it’s not as if its two halves have been idle. Perky front-woman Jennifer Nettles had a baby (the awesomely named Magnus) then dropped her first solo album, “That Girl,” which topped Billboard’s Country Albums chart in January. Local fans can see her perform the new songs at the Washington State Fair on Sept. 8. Meanwhile, musical partner Kristian Bush spent some time abroad with the CMA Songwriters tour last year; and, in the days leading up to his appearance at Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s Fourth of July Freedom Fest, he described being in the midst of the most prolific stretch of his songwriting career. He even shed some light on his own forthcoming solo project. Here’s some of what he had to say. TACOMA WEEKLY: You’re coming up here to play Lewis-McChord. Did anyone in your family serve? BUSH: My brother (Brandon) and I are actually the first (Bushes) in three generations not to be in the military. I have this incredibly fortunate life to be able to do what I love, and I think that’s a day where you need to celebrate this great country. Who better to do it with than people who deserve some entertainment for working so hard? TW: What kind of set are you gonna play for those guys? BUSH: I have a new album comin’, and a new single (called “Trailer Hitch.”) It’s what you kind of expect from me and my work with Sugarland, except I’m singin’. (He laughs). You’re gonna hear some Sugarland songs that you know, and then you’re gonna hear a bunch of stuff you’ve never heard before, and you’re gonna love it. TW: OK, I might as well get this question out of the way. The two of you doing your solo projects has led to rumors that you’re breaking up. But you’re not breaking up, right? BUSH: (He laughs heartily.) No, nobody panic. Everybody chill out a little. I’m very grateful that people are worried, but I wanna make sure everyone knows not to freak out. The band did not break up. But you may channel your anxiety into purchasing my new record. TW: Aha! But did you consciously

decide to take a break? BUSH: We did consciously decide based on Jennifer was having a baby. That was a real natural pause. We’ve been on the road for about eight years straight; and, during that time, she decided that she had always wanted to do a solo record. Then ... I started writing more than I’ve ever written before. I usually write a song a month, and that’s been true for about 15 years; and, in the last two years, I’ve written a song about every other day. So I’m sitting on a huge amount of material that there aren’t enough albums left to get (it) all out. TW: So you’re kind of like Prince. You’ve just got this huge vault of stuff. BUSH: Well, yeah. Now I’ve got a whole new problem that I’ve never had in my life. I started playing the music for our producer, Byron Gallimore, and he said, “Kristian, you need to put these out.” I said, “But Jennifer’s putting her stuff out.” He’s like, “Don’t worry about it. No one’s ever heard you sing. They don’t know what you sound like. So, you could certainly be on the radio at the same time.” TW: So that was the catalyst for your solo project? BUSH: Yeah, that’s kind of how it went. … So now we’re in that space where I’ve been trying to narrow those songs down. What I did was I decided to tell the booking agent, “Put me in front of fans. Put me in front of people, anywhere, so that I can play music.” And you can tell, because a country music listener is the most honest and true read on whether you’ve got a great song. TW: You’ve also been sharing stuff through Music Mondays on your web site (www.kristianbush.com.) How many of those songs will wind up on the album? BUSH: When I first came across all this music, I had the good fortune to be able to record it about the same time I’m writing it because I have a studio in Atlanta. So I’d write a song in the morning, and that night or the next morning I’d record it. There are probably three or four in that Music Monday that have made it forward, or more. I’m not quite totally sure which ones I’m gonna (include). I’ve recorded them all and just (need to) decide which ones are gonna fit the texture of the album. TW: When can fans expect the solo album? BUSH: They haven’t given me a release date because everything’s moving a little bit quicker than they anticipated. The song

goes to radio (he considers). I think they go for adds July 20-something, but the L.A. station started playing it last week. I don’t know enough about the theory of timing for radio; but I know that the faster it moves up a radio chart, the faster that they decide to put the album out. I’ve turned it in. So my job is done. (Laughs) TW: Are there things you get to do now that you don’t feel you can with Sugarland? BUSH: Well, there is a bit of an obvious answer to the question, which is I spent the better part of 10 years attempting to write lyrics (for) the performance of a woman. … There is something really special about being able to write a love song right now with my voice, as a man to a woman. You know, love songs are one of the most fun things you can do as a songwriter because there are so many different facets to it. So I’ve been exploring that. I also have a different timbre voice than Jennifer does. She’s an incredible singer, and she’s incredibly well-trained. I am less trained. … I’ve asked people what they think it sounds like, because that’s the biggest question in the conversation: “Hey man, I know you, I love your band. I think you’re awesome. I love your work, and I have no idea what you sound like.” I love asking that question after you hear it. “Well, what do you think I sound like?” Inevitably, you get a million answers ‘cause people all hear things differently.” But I’ve never heard someone mistake me for Jennifer. TW: No, not so much. (He laughs.) You’ve also got the music you made for TCM with your brother. How did that come about? BUSH: TCM, obviously, is in Atlanta, and so are we; and my brother and I have been making music forever. Even when he was in the band, Train, and I was in Sugarland, we would cross paths all the time. He was out with me on a Sugarland tour, playing in the band. We were sharing a bus, and at night we’d come back from the stage and need to watch something to unwind. I’d just finished geeking out on “Battlestar Galactica” - like, I watched the entire thing – and I was just like, “Whoo! What am I gonna watch next?” Brandon was like, “Let’s watch TCM, there are no commercials.” So we put it on, and it just so happened we just loved it, because to me they weren’t old movies, ‘cause I’d never seen them before. I think I tweeted them a couple of times – like, “Hey, guys, thanks a lot for the after

show entertainment,” and they responded. And then immediately, because I am that way, I immediately reached out to them in back channels. “We should do breakfast. There’s gotta be something we can do.” TW: But your brother is not the only family member you collaborate with, apparently. I’ve seen in interviews where you talk about how your daughter Camille helps you out. BUSH: My daughter just turned nine. But you gotta remember, she was three when I wrote “All I Want to Do,” and I wrote it to make her dance. In the last two years I’ve been at home. So I’ve been driving car pool a lot, back and forth to school. Every morning, she’ll get in the car and say, “Dad, why don’t you play me what you wrote yesterday?” Then she would rate it: “Dad, that’s like a four, five. That’s not so good. You’re gonna need a better beat on that one. I don’t understand the rhymes.” Thank you, Camille. Oh, my gosh. She’s like an aggressive, little A & R girl, but she would keep me straight. Then, at some point, she would start to ask at bedtime, “Dad, can we write a song?” So we would start writin’ songs. We’ve written two or three together, and she’s good at it. If I was more of a “dadager,” I would put her in the room, for real, writin’ No Doubt songs or something. TW: But then she might turn into Miley Cyrus or something. BUSH: Well, you know, the beginning of Miley wasn’t so bad. Actually, I love Miley Cyrus. I love whatever it is that’s going on with her. I think it’s as fun as can be. But I told Camille, no reality television until after you’re 18. I don’t mind the songwriting. She’s incredibly creative, and I encourage it. I try not to build it into her allowance, though – unless she hits a pretty big hit.

‘IN THE SPIRIT’

History Museum shows a wealth of contemporary native art

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Muesum of the Week: Museum of Glass

F

or the past nine years, Washington State History Museum has hosted an annual exhibit of contemporary Native American art called “In the Spirit.” This year’s “Spirit” show consists of 27 works of art by members of a diversity of Native American communities. There are paintings, sculptures, weavings, prints and fabric arts. Styles range from traditional to contemporary. Like artists everywhere, those of native descent draw upon outside influences such as pop art or abstract expressionism, as well as traditional forms and themes in order to express themselves. Cultural pride and native resilience come through in much of the work. Art is used as a way to maintain identity in the midst of the surrounding culture as well as to address more specific concerns. Working in traditional styles are artists like Earl Davis (Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe), who won the “Honoring Tradition Award” with his “Sheephorn style bowl’ carved of red alder. Catherine Black Horse (Seminole Nation of Oklahoma) created a pair of dresses incorporating elements like elks’ teeth, dentalium shells, cut glass, beads and coins (Sacagawea dollars). Misty Kalama-Archer of the Puyallup Tribe used merino wool to create her “Lightning Raventail Bag,” a masterpiece of Coast Salish weaving. Anthony Duenas of the Puyallup Tribe draws upon a traditional story for his diptych of spray paint and acrylic called “Pheasant Goes to the Land of the Dead.” Each panel features a circle representing one of the pheasant’s eyes. The pheasant looks upon the world of the living when its eyes are open. When the pheasant closes its eyes, however, it can see into the world of the dead. Duenas stands at the beginning of a promising art career. In conjunction with his brother he recently completed a mural near McKinley Park. He has been chosen to work on a mural in the Lincoln District as part of the Tacoma Mural Project. A crowd favorite is sure to be Jeffrey Veragge’s “She’s Got It Where It Counts,” a depiction of the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo’s starship in the movie “Star Wars.” Veragge (Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe) depicts the pop iconic space ship from above and renders it with a streamlined Salish style (he calls it a “Salish geek touch”). Veragge transforms the energy projected from the

back of the ship into a fan of blue feathers. Alison Bremner (Tlingit) seamlessly combines the traditional with the modern by using Jackson Pollock’s drip style of painting upon the deer hide surface of a native drum. The title “Alaskan Pollock” is a pun that refers to both the famous painter and the fish of the same name. The award for “Best in Show” was won by Kaila Farrell-Smith (Klamath Tribe) for “M is for Mak’Lak’, W is for White: Authentic Indian Design.” Using oil paint and crayon, Farrell-Smith depicts a native emblem that could be interpreted as either an M or a W, lying on its side. She originally came across the design in a child’s coloring book called “Authentic Indian Designs.” Akin to some of Jasper John’s American flag paintings, Farrell-Smith’s masterpiece appears as something simple, yet it brings together a complex web of issues. It captures the visual language of the dominant culture in order to resist the assertions of dominance. The “In the Spirit” art show functions as a prelude to the annual Native Arts Market and Festival that is held at the museum every year. This year, the event will be held on Aug. 9. “In the Spirit” runs through Aug. 10 at the Washington State History Museum. For further information visit www.washingtonhistory.org.

On Sunday, July 6, Museum of Glass will celebrate its 12th birthday with a party. Throughout the day, the Museum will be offering visitors family-friendly entertainment, treats and special deals including: • Free admission for children 12 and under (with a paid accompanying adult) and $2 off admission costs for visitors who wear Seahawks 12th Man apparel • Cupcakes in the Grand Hall • Balloon art by artist Jami Krause of Evergreen Balloons • Chalk art on the Museum’s main plaza • 12-themed cookies available at the Museum’s café, Choripan • Special pricing on Green Guy at the Museum of Glass Store and 12 percent off store purchases for members • Discounts on first-time dual family and dual senior level memberships and renewals Members are invited to arrive at 11 a.m. for donuts and a private tour of the galleries at 11:12 a.m.

KISS, DEF LEPPARD BRING THE HITS TO WHITE RIVER AMPHITHEATER

MONSTER JAMS. Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and Kiss dremmer Eric Singer (replacing original “Catman� Peter Criss). By Glen Casebeer Special to Tacoma Weekly

K

iss calls themselves the loudest band in the world. They call themselves the greatest band in the world. Well, they are pretty loud, and they are pretty great. The faithful legions who have been drafted into the Kiss Army invaded Auburn on June 29, donning battle gear (facepaint and platform shoes) and no amount of rain could dampen their spirits. The pre-show squalls eventually gave way and the White River Amphitheater crowd was bathed in a sea of golden sunshine. Def Leppard, of course, has its own legions of adoring fans, and they were there in substantial numbers as well to represent their band on one of the biggest tours of the year. The opening act, Kobra and the Lotus, really isn’t worth mentioning, the only thing notable was probably one of worst covers of “Barracuda� ever. Note to other mediocre metal bands touring through the Northwest: Please don’t cover Heart songs to try and get in good with the crowd. Thanks.

The set lists for both bands were full of the songs that fans came to hear like, “Photograph,� “Pour Some Sugar On Me,� “Rock and Roll All Nite� and “Detroit Rock City.� Def Leppard started the real show off with a bang playing a killer song from early in their career, “Let It Go,� from the 1981 album “High & Dry.� That album was well represented much to the delight of the fans of the British glam rockers as they played an acoustic version of “Bringin’ On The Heartache� and the instrumental guitar showcase “Switch 625.� On that number, Vivian Campbell and Phil Collen showed that they still have the chops. The rest of Def Leppard’s set list included the smash hit songs from their two best-selling albums: 1983’s “Pyromania� and 1987’s “Hysteria.� Ever wonder what it would be like to hear literally thousands of people singing “Pour Some Sugar On Me?� Well we found out. After working the crowd into frenzy, the band came out for a two-song encore consisting of “Rock Of Ages� and “Photograph.� The band was tight and Joe Elliot hit most of the “High� notes. Of course, now it was time for the spectacle. And make no mistake a Kiss show is a spectacle. The electricity that flows through the air as the curtain drops is contagious.

They blasted through the set with everything you’d expect from a Kiss show. Fire breathing bassist Gene Simmons entertained and engaged the crowd with his stage demeanor. Frontman Paul Stanley runs a tight show and he knows how to talk to a crowd. He told the crowd that Kiss has been coming to the Northwest since before many of the attendees were even born. Give him extra credit for not calling Auburn, Seattle. Later in the show, Paul Stanley flew through the crowd, up to his platform in the middle of the arena and dropped “Love Gun� on the now frantic audience. Northwest native Tommy Thayer has been in the “Spaceman� role now for more than a decade and he plays the part well. Of course, Kiss purists kick and scream and complain that it’ll never be the same without Ace and Peter. But props to Thayer, he is a guitar wizard and he can hold his own with anyone. If watching a band that has been shocking, mesmerizing and loving to arguably the most loyal legion of fans of any band on the planet is your idea of a fantastic way to spend Sunday night in Auburn, then you came to the right place. Kiss did not disappoint.

DELICIOUS DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS ‘100 FEET OF FASHION’ By Erica Cooley Special to Tacoma Weekly

Chance Fashion took the vintage car venue by storm on Saturday, June 28, at LeMay-America’s Car Museum with a team of six talented designers to transform the space for a night of fashion. “Chance Fashion has been hosting consecutive monthly shows in Seattle for five years, and this event is dedicated to expanding into the Tacoma area,” reads the group’s online mission statement. With Seattle growing as a national fashion capital, it is now time for Tacoma to step into the spotlight highlighting some of the Northwest’s up and coming designers. Doors opened at 6 p.m., and guests enjoyed refreshments by sponsors Santero Sparking Wine, Balinoff Vodka and Cascade Ice Sparkling Water. LeMay was the perfect backdrop for this sensational blend of luxury cars and high fashion. As guests sipped their cocktails and viewed the collection of classic muscle cars, the doors to the fashion show opened. At 7 p.m., the show began. The first designer’s work to hit the 100-foot runway was Chelsea Mack. Her pieces had an ethereal feel with sheered skirts and an interesting use of texture. Her line could be described as “animalistic” with a ragged, chic style and the addition of animal antlers and headpieces paired with each look. Second down the runway was Poppy & Bloom’s line by Olga Szwed. This plussize line featured a variety of pieces, from chic work dresses to a long gown collection. One of the models strutted the runway adorned in business appropriate tunic pants set with bold jewelry. Poppy & Bloom’s collection mixed textures and patterns for a sexy but classic look. Poppy & Bloom’s use of bold color and interesting texture combination brought out the lovely skin tones and eye color of the model. This line for the full figured woman was one of variety and uniqueness. With nearly 200 attendees, everyone was enjoying the night of supporting

local fashion. “The goal of Chance is to give all people a platform to participate in fashion. No matter what experience level, first time designers, photographs, we want everyone who wants to be involved to be,” said Christopher Chapman, the emcee for the evening. Following Chapman’s departure off the runway was Karen Langley’s collection, Karen Ashely, a gorgeous line featuring an interesting use of floral and other patterns that were pleasing to the eye. Her use of florals with unique ruffle accents added a new flavor to the simple business suit and dress. Her line also included pieces with fun fur accents and removable trains. The Karen Ashely line includes intricate beading detail and unique designs, leaving attendees wanting more. Juleano Men by Julius Leano’s line came next with a collection of menswear. Leano, a first time designer, was able to display his collection thanks to Chance Fashion’s mission of supporting anyone in the community who wants to get involved. Juleano Men is a line of men’s underwear that Chapman described as “not what you are expecting.” Chapman was correct in his description with male models strutting the runway in neon and mesh barelythere underwear and shorts.

After a short break for patrons to refresh themselves with a sparkling pineapple wine, Chapman presented the next designer’s work, Vivid Haiku Meroe. “This line was drawn from inspiration from the famous gum wall in Seattle,” Chapman said, quoting the designer. Each model sported a rocker hairstyle and dramatic makeup that paired perfectly with the designs. The line featured designs using nude lace that had a lingerie style. This edgy line blended rocker style with a delicate softness in each model’s look. 100 Feet of Fashion was closed out by Julie Danforth Designs. This collection of ready-to-wear fashion displayed models adorned in mod 1960s inspired crop coat and business dress ensembles. The line was eye catching and memorable with the use of rich colors and fabrics. Most memorable was the collection of gorgeous satin gowns. Some show stoppers were a black and cream chevron print formal gown and a rich wine red satin deep plunging vneck gown. The evening was delightful and a fashion highlight for Tacoma all with the background of LeMay’s car collection. It was the perfect blend of luxury cars and luxury fashion. Chance Fashion is an organization to follow for all Tacoman fashionistas. For more information on upcoming Chance Fashion events visit https://www.facebook. com/ChanceFashion.

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) This is a great time to get your message or product out there for all to see. Your interactions will bring business contacts, deals and money making ideas. Projects that have been on the back burner may now proceed full speed ahead. Shine that sparkly smile.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) The drama that followed you from last week will soon disappear. It has burned itself out like a light bulb. Sometimes people just want to be heard, regardless of the consequences. Use your gift of compassion with those people. It’s not always your problem.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Your current focus has been on hard work, business matters and career advancements. Communications should resume although there may be an issue that may be ongoing. Take some time to treat yourself as long as you don’t overdo it. Avoid delays.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Your energy is very high right now. Use this gift to get those things done that you have been promising to do. The road blocks have been lifted so it’s up to you to forge ahead. Focus on your hopes and dreams and how you are going to get these goals accomplished. Be free of burdens.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Recent frustrating interactions and transactions will start to smooth themselves out. You can be free of the burdens that have been bringing you down. Be mindful of your spending. Implement a savings plan. Have you been existing as a grasshopper or an ant?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) It may seem like you have been walking on eggshells or are you the one dishing them out? Remember that team work can get the job done faster and more efficiently. Other signs may not understand your fiery nature. Tone it down a bit and see how much you are appreciated.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) It’s time to celebrate this holiday weekend by enjoying the festivities with friends and family. Host a BBQ, take a short trip or view the fireworks at a fun place. Your partner has been counting on you to help where needed. Reliability is your current strong suit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) You are such a hard worker that others may be envious of your ethics. That’s okay – you lead by example. Just remember to take time to relax to recharge your batteries. There are big changes coming your way that will reveal themselves in the next upcoming weeks. Moving soon?

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) The sun is shining on you bringing you light and clarity. That situation that has been a burden to you is starting to work itself out. Sometimes our perceptions are not the same as others. Try to see things as others might to gain understanding and compassion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Come down from the clouds and visit with us for a while. You can find comfort, direction and answers from a more grounded approach. Money matters and delays are working themselves out. Forge ahead with your goals clearly in your mind. You may get a surprise!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Your horizons are expanding as you have been learning about different ideas, theories and studies. This will ultimately help you be a better person. The delays you have been experiencing will start to open up showing you the vast possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Take time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. All that saving and investing has paid off. Money matters are now seen in full focus. The delays you have been experiencing will start to reverse into a forward direction. Your family has been depending upon your solid nature and kind heart.

A home where she can give you her complete love and attention without a second thought. Daisy tends to be a bit timid and shy, but once she feels comfortable, she is a true lover.
