VOICE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT CITY BUDGET By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

City budget crunchers are working out budget outlines that Tacoma City Council will begin pondering in the fall. But now is your time to weigh in on how city departments spend your money. The upcoming biannual budget faces shortfalls and deficits and yet more

rounds of deferred repairs and upgrades, so it’s not like Tacoma coffers are flush with cash. That means input about how each dollar is spent is more important than during prosperous years since some projects and programs might just face the axe entirely to fund other efforts. Community meetings will be held around the city starting next week and X See BUDGET / page A9

SPIRITS OF TACOMA SPEAK

AT LIVING HISTORY CEMETERY TOURS By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

“There are so many cool folks in Tacoma history, and you don’t hear about them. This is time to bring them to life,” said living history re-enactor Karen Haas who will portray Agnes Huth (1854-1916), trustee of the Pacific Malting and Brewing Company, during the sixth annual Living History Cemetery Tour, June 18-19 at the historic Tacoma Cemetery. Along with Haas, seven other talented reenactors will take part of these informative and highly entertaining tours in which the actors become the historical figure they’ve spent time researching and learning about. This is no “stand and read from a script” type of presentation but rather a true experience in which “ghosts” from the past seem to appear right in front of you at their gravesites, telling in colorful detail and accuracy about their fascinating lives in the history of Tacoma. These tours tend to sell out quickly, showing the wide appeal of both the subject matter and the actors “The Tacoma Cemetery is a gorgeous, peaceful place. (The tour) is not ghosties and goblins – it’s treating these people with honor and telling their stories. When you’re standing on top of their graves it gives you extra encouragement to do your best,” Haas

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) You usually can jump back and forth from one issue to the next. You may also say one thing one minute and then say the opposite the next. This week others will call you on it so think first before speaking or forming your opinion. Confusion can be like rust.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Have you been finding yourself playing the “victim?” You are the one responsible for your feelings and have the power to change them. Be honest with yourself and remember that it’s okay to be confrontational when you have integrity and self-love on your side.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Time to open the channels of communication and let it flow. Realize that the subtle tension in the air is to remind you of those that have caused you pain or irritation. Be the bigger person by treating them with love instead of malice. Let go of your frustrations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Deal with tensions right away so they don’t fester. Be in the moment while the moment is there. Clear up any sticky situations quickly and calmly. Some people may not understand your point of view unless you communicate very openly and clearly. Face the present or fear the future.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Stop being an enabler with someone you care about. You can do more harm than good by not being honest with them and yourself. The more we lie the more we can hurt, even if it’s a “white lie.” Be open and honest with your thoughts and feelings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Have you been hiding behind a barrier blocking those around you? Stop playing those games that get you nowhere. True courage comes from having the ability to say what really needs to be said at the proper time. Sugar coated lies do no one any good. Be true to yourself.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Don’t sabotage yourself with overindulgence to feed your self-worth. Remember the old saying: Eat to Live, Not Live to Eat! Use this as your mantra as you develop a healthier lifestyle. Give your body the respect it deserves. Lead others by example.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Stop absorbing the stress from others and focus on your own true feelings. Make a clear distinction between your feelings and those of others’. People aren’t mind readers so be clear with your communications. Sometimes people just don’t get it. Ask for help from others when needed.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Contributing to unhealthy lies to maintain the status quo doesn’t do anybody any good. Be honest with yourself and bring up issues or speak your mind when appropriate. Don’t sacrifice your peace of mind to avoid rocking the boat. Your opinion matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Focus on your heart, as it needs your attention. You may have been feeling negative these past few months and others may be taking notice of this. Getting your point across in a more gentler and informative way will get you farther. Value others’ opinions that differ from your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) This may be an intense week on the family front. A loved one or partner may confront you as a result of an ongoing situation. Don’t underestimate or invalidate their emotions. Stand up to issues yet be realistic of the outcome. Compromise is at hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Family tensions are high this week. You may feel like you have been double crossed by a loved one. Your words may be used against you in an argument. Clear up the situation by hearing all sides and communicate your feelings or opinion in a calm, clear manner. Hold your temper.

The New Nativity House, well into construction, has established its shape at Yakima Avenue and 14th Street, and it’s a good match for the neighborhood’s scale. Come the new year, it will take up its mission there, helping to bring shelter and security to many of the broken people who every day trudge between meals, beds and social services. This new mission is an expansion and a consolidation of the work Catholic Community Services has been doing for people who are homeless and living in and around downtown Tacoma. Based on the agency’s response to community concerns and its commitment to accountability, the bigger job and the central facility have the potential to make for a healthier neighborhood. The $16 million complex will combine three existing CCS programs: The Tacoma Avenue Shelter, Hospitality Kitchen and Nativity House. To that mix, it will add 50 efficiency apartments – safe, secure homes for people whom the Feds define as the chronic homeless. Those apartments will run on the Housing First model, which means that the people who live in them do not have to be clean and sober when they move in, nor do they have to promise to hit that goal. Instead, they will have access to on-site or nearby services, including alcohol and drug abuse treatment, AA meetings, medical and mental health care, legal and veteran’s services, job training, financial literacy classes and one-on-one assistance. Those are the tools many have used in similar programs, including those run by MDC here, to become stable enough to move on to more independent, yet supportive, housing. They are saving taxpayers millions of X See NATIVITY / page A9

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

Fawcett and 13th 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 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.

The Transportation Master Plan will be the city’s roadmap for accommodating walking, biking, transit, truck freight and auto traffic as it grows over the next 20 years, and beyond. Tacoma City staff are seeking resident input to help address transportation issues that exist today and could be projected to arise, if not addressed, in the future. Residents attending community events in July are invited to interact with transportation planners, draw on transportation maps, ask questions, and complete surveys.

Make your own threedimensional art with hands-on projects throughout the day. At noon, be sure to see the premiere unveiling of “Soul of the Forward and Faithful,â€? a life-like bronze sculpture that powerfully memorializes the World War II Marine Raiders. The sculpture debuts at Tacoma Art Museum and will be on view only through July 27, before traveling to its home at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia. During the afternoon, learn how sculptures are made and get a sneak peek at some of the new works coming to Tacoma Art Museum’s collection. “Rarely do you witness sculptures taking shape.

How do 400 blankets transform into a bronze outdoor sculpture? Walla Walla Foundry is currently working with artist Marie Watt to fabricate her sculpture “Blanket Stories: Transportation Object, Generous Ones, and Trek,â€? crafted from blankets contributed by the community. The sculpture will be installed along Pacific Avenue in front of the new Haub Family Galleries this November. Along with Watt’s new work, the museum has commissioned a playful outdoor bronze sculpture by Scott Fife, whose loveable giant “Leroy, The Big Pupâ€? has become the museum’s mascot; and Julie Speidel, whose large-scale installation will evoke the region’s ancient geological history with elegant recreations of glacial erratics. Speakers at the festival will include: ¡ Dave Anderson, from Walla Walla Foundry, explaining the process of fabricating bronze sculptures, from making the mold to the pour and finishing ¡ Rock Hushka, Tacoma Art Museum’s Director of Curatorial Administration and Curator of Contemporary and Northwest Art, revealing details about the museum’s new outdoor sculptures by Marie Watt, Julie Speidel and Scott Fife ¡ Laura Fry, Tacoma Art Museum’s Haub Curator of Western American Art, sharing stories of Western bronzes in the Haub Family Collection (to open at the museum on Nov. 16) Take advantage of this rare chance to see how sculptures take shape.

As a slice of undeveloped open space that’s primarily been left in a natural, undeveloped state, it provides important environmental benefits. It helps manage stormwater, provides wildlife habitat and protects water quality. It’s for these reasons that the City’s Environmental Services Department is caretaker to select open spaces, such as the Schuster Slope, throughout Tacoma. Yet, perhaps such spaces could further nurture surrounding neighborhoods. The City of Tacoma and Metro Parks Tacoma have entered into an agreement to find out. They want to determine how the needs of the community can be served by these spaces through the fostering of volunteer stewardship, quality vegetation, and natural resource management plans. At an open house on Wednesday, July 16, staff will ask for feedback to weigh the various interests that need to be considered as part of managing the Schuster Slope open space, such as vegetation, slope stability, forest stewardship, public access, safety, views, and passive recreation. The open house will be from 6-8 p.m. at the Landmark Convention Center’s Rooftop Garden Room, 47 St. Helens Ave. in preparation for the creation of a natural resource management plan. The partnership will work to address Mason Gulch next year plus volunteer and maintenance assistance in Wapato Hills and Julia’s Gulch.

SHERIFF LOOKING FOR MISSING SEX OFFENDER AUTHORITIES SEEK THE PUBLIC’S HELP TO CATCH HIM By David Rose Correspondent

Why do they let these guys out of prison? That’s the most common question I get when it comes to convicted sex DAVID ROSE offenders, especially child rapists. I wish I had a good answer. I don’t, so I focus on trying to put them

back in jail when they violate the terms of their probation. Take Tuan Anh Tran for example. He’s a convicted child rapist who assaulted a boy more than a 100 times starting when the kid was 11. He didn’t stop until the child was old enough to fight back. Tran was 24 when the abuse started. Makes me sick. Why do they let these guys out? Tran disappeared in November of 2012. Detectives

Crime News TACOMA MAN CHARGED FOR KILLING WIFE DURING ARGUMENT Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist has charged Darrin Brooks, 48, with murder in the second degree for shooting and killing his wife, Renee Brooks, 28, in their Tacoma apartment. Bail was set at $1 million. “This is another unfortunate example of how domestic violence can escalate,� said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. On July 3, the defendant and his wife had an argument about an as yet unknown subject, which became physical. He pulled out a gun and shot the victim several times in the head. The defendant immediately left the apartment. After not hearing from the victim for several days, the victim’s friend went to the apartment on July 4, and found the victim dead in her bedroom. The friend called 911. In the bedroom, police found the victim covered in blood and lying on a mattress. Witnesses told police they heard two to three “pops� on the morning of July 4, and then saw the defendant running from the apartment. On July 5, patrol officers spotted the defendant driving a vehicle that was reported stolen two days earlier. After a short chase, he was taken into custody. The defendant told officers that he had talked to his father and was going to turn himself in, but he was nervous. The defendant told detectives, “I can’t believe I just did this.� DRUGS, GUNS AND GRENADES Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist has charged Joshua Lobben, 26, with five counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, one count each of possession of an explosive device and unlawful possession of a machine gun, and five counts of unlawful possession of a firearm in the second degree. Lobben was arraigned and is being held in lieu of $1.5 million bail. “Drugs, guns and grenades are a bad mix,�

went to see him during a routine check but were told he’d moved out two weeks earlier. He is wanted now by the Pierce County Sheriff ’s Department for failing to register as a Level II sex offender. If you spot him, please call the Crime Stoppers hotline 1-800-222TIPS. I can’t answer succinctly why these child sex predators are ever let out of prison, but with your help I can sure try to get them locked up again.

said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. On June 25, a narcotics task force served a search warrant at Lobben’s Puyallup residence. Lobben, who was arrested at the scene, admitted to selling narcotics. He warned officers that there was a hand grenade inside his bedroom refrigerator. The State Patrol Bomb Squad safely removed the live hand grenade from the refrigerator. Officers located a safe which contained 480 grams of methamphetamine, 250 grams of heroin, 77 Ecstasy pills, 50 roxicodone pills, 21 hydrocodone pills, packaging materials, a digital scale and $13,000 cash. They also found a MP-5 submachine gun with the selector switch set to “full-auto.� On Lobben’s bed, officers located notes and records related to drug sales. Lobben has three prior felony convictions and is prohibited from possessing or controlling firearms. Charges are only allegations, and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

COUNTY COUNCIL RENOUNCES HUMAN TRAFFICKING With a unanimous vote July 1, members of the Pierce County Council approved Resolution R2014-83 which declares the County to be a “Not in My County� anti-human trafficking area. The resolution originated with the Coalition Against Trafficking (CAT), a collection of organizations working to protect children and prevent victims of human trafficking by promoting “Not in My City� and “Not in My County� campaigns. The resolution’s sponsor, 4th District Councilmember Connie Ladenburg, says it’s one of those issues many people don’t realize is happening right in their backyards. “It’s frightening how often this happens in Washington,� Ladenburg said. “Victims are often threatened with violence, made to pay off a debt, fraudulently promised a job that does not exist, or even led to believe they are entering a romantic relationship. It’s sickening, and I strongly urge everyone in Pierce

County to support laws that crack down on this horrible crime.� R2014-83 also recognizes the good work being done by the various local anti-trafficking organizations, which have achieved a higher public profile in recent years. According to CAT’s website, human trafficking is an emerging, complex issue that is widely misunderstood. For example, not all trafficking is sexual in nature. While many women and children are trafficked throughout the world today, some are exploited for forced labor and involuntary domestic servitude. Nearly all victims are held against their will to endure the crime. Ladenburg notes that Washington State was the first in the nation to make human trafficking a crime; the first law of its kind. Washington now has some of the nation’s most stringent anti-trafficking laws and is continually working to tighten them even further. To report suspected human trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-373-7888. For more information on what Pierce County is doing to help those in need, please visit the county’s Community Connections website.

He had apparently had a party with a few of his friends the previous day, when the group smoked marijuana. The boy became violent when his family was displeased with illegal activity. Then the boy yelled for his mother to shut up. Bad call, partner. That brought his older brother into the fight, coming in defense of momma. The younger boy took a swing. The older boy’s punch soon followed. The pot smoking young boy lost that round but not after damaging the house enough to prompt a call for police. Because of his age, state law allows the victims to decide if the attacker is arrested. They opted for jail and the metal bracelets clicked on the boy’s wrists toot sweet. Sometimes it is best to just walk away. There was this guy looking to order breakfast at a restaurant along the 2400 block of Pacific Avenue on July 5. He was trying to use a $100 bill to pay for a few dollars worth of food. The clerk had tested the bill, which turned up showing that the bill was counterfeit. This was a repeat of an incident with the man a week prior. The clerk told the man to leave the restaurant, but that the eatery was keeping the bill for evidence. The man wouldn’t leave without the bill. The clerk called police. He was taken to jail, when he could have just walked away. Compiled by Steve Dunkelberger

CHENEY GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE A HOME RUN Tacoma continues to receive attention for its leadership role in surface water issues. The Association of Washington Cities has presented Tacoma with a 2014 Municipal Excellence Award in the “Making a Difference in Your Environment� category for the Cheney Stadium Sustainable Stormwater Project. The Environmental Services project retrofitted the Cheney Stadium parking lot, reconstructed Clay Huntington Way and revamped the stadium’s Tyler Street entrance over two off-seasons using green infrastructure to reduce stormwater runoff and improve access for bicycles and pedestrians. As a result, Cheney Stadium now has about six acres of permeable pavement, three rain gardens, sustainable landscaping, new pedestrian walkways and seven acres of new tree canopy. The ballpark also has two electric vehicle charging stations and LED lighting along Clay Huntington Way. The site, which was finished this spring, serves as a model for commercial development, demonstrating the effectiveness of green infrastructure elements, which can be installed for about half the cost of traditional stormwater improvements. The Municipal Excellence Award recognizes innovative and effective city programs that improve the quality of life in their communities. In addition to being featured on Association of Washington Cities web site, the project was featured in the Municipal Excellence Showcase at their annual conference and in a video available on YouTube. :<)>(@ ;6 796=0+,

Beginning July 1 and continuing throughout the month, Subway restaurant patrons can donate to relief efforts at any participating Western Washington Subway restaurant locations. Donations can be made in any denomination and do not need to be tied to a purchase. One hundred percent of the donations received will be awarded to the Oso Chapel Mudslide Disaster Relief Fund to aid in continuing disaster relief efforts. “Local Subway restaurants support the Oso Chapel Mudslide Disaster Relief Fund’s ongoing commitment to providing long term support to victims and rebuilding the community,� said Paul Armour, Subway advertising board chairman. “The slide not only resulted in loss of life and home, but also has negatively impacted the local economy, transportation routes, and many family budgets. Our task is to lead in the rebuilding process by providing comfort, encouragement and counseling, along with material and practical aid,� said Gary Ray, chairman of the State of Washington Long Range Community Development Team and pastor of the Oso Chapel. “We would like to thank Subway and Subway customers for their continued support.� BLACK BEARS GET THEIR NAMES AT NORTHWEST TREK Two new black bears at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park now have names chosen by the public in an online survey. Benton and Fern were picked from among four sets of names for the male and female bears, which came to the wildlife park from the Topeka Zoo in May.

It’s the first time in many years that animals at Northwest Trek have names by which the public will know them. At the moment, the two bears are the only publicly named animals at the wildlife park. In addition to Benton and Fern, the name choices in the survey – all submitted by staff members – were: Tahoma and Olympia; Sitka and Madrona; and Ridge and Meadow. Benton and Fern were the informal names staff members at the Topeka zoo used for the two American black bears, which are siblings. The black bears can be seen in their 1-acre forested exhibit, which includes tall trees for them to climb, pools for them to swim in and lots of logs and brush for them to sit on and ramble through. The bears were orphaned as cubs in Oregon and have lived at Topeka Zoo for most of their lives. Northwest Trek also has two grizzly bears. The wildlife park is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

Only about one in ten children that receive breakfast or lunch at school have access to summer meal programs. “We’re pleased to support St Leo Food Connection and the community members it serves,� said Graham Tash, owner, Titus-Will Ford.

‘OUR FRIENDS IN CHAIRS WITH WHEELS’

AUTHORS PEN CHILDREN’S BOOK TO BUILD UNDERSTANDING

By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

I

n 1997, when young singer-songwriter Faith Ecklund was in a car crash that permanently paralyzed her, she used her situation to try and inspire others. “I spoke to a lot of groups about life and how short it can be and how we can choose whether or not we make our own situations great or something that can hurt us,� Ecklund said in a recent interview. Taking her own words to heart, she continued to pursue a career in music and moved to Nashville from Washington two years ago to follow that path. Meanwhile, Ecklund’s friend Carrie Case was pregnant with her first child. During her childhood, Case’s father suffered from Multiple Sclerosis, leaving him wheelchair-bound, and she didn’t want her child reacting to people in wheelchairs the same way people reacted to her father. “It was frustrating how other people would react, talk really loud or wondering if it was okay to touch him. It was always hard to watch people not act normal,� Case said, offering this sound advice: “Just act normal and don’t make a huge deal out of it.� Finding no helpful reading material for her children to learn that people in wheelchairs are just normal people, Case took it upon herself to write her own book with Ecklund’s help. The result is “Our Friends in Chairs with Wheels,� a children’s book explaining that people in wheelchairs are just like the little readers, going to school, playing guitar and surfing the web. “My hope for the book is to show that everyone is normal. Even though I’m in a chair, it’s okay to ask questions. I’m not just a person in a chair; I’m a person, and the book is there to teach [kids] that,� Ecklund said. “In turn, we hope it helps the adult too. A lot of times I’m out and about and a kid will look at me and ask ‘what’s wrong with you?’ The mom will hush the kids but the kids really do want to know about you; it’s more so for the parent that

doesn’t know about the situation to know that that’s okay.� Case had the original notes for the idea over five years ago, but put them away in a drawer until a friend encouraged her to finish the book. After showing Ecklund, who thought it was a fantastic idea, the pair was able to complete it and get it published. “I think the book is something everyone should have their hands on. It’s something everyone should have in their home. It’s so cool and so fun and so colorful,� Ecklund said. The book was illustrated by 16-yearold Mikaela Gonzales, who infused the book’s message with a colorful cast of characters, some based on Ecklund and Case’s father. Gonzales also introduced Wheelchair Westcott, the unofficial mascot of the book – a wiener dog that uses a wheelchair. Ecklund has also helped make “Our Friends in Chairs with Wheels� a multimedia project. Every purchase of the book comes with a free download of Ecklund’song “That’s How We Roll� off of her brand new EP “Walk With You.� Visiting www.friendsinchairswithwheels.com offers plenty of activities for kids to enjoy outside the book including extended biographies on featured characters and games. Through the entire writing process, Case’s motivation resided in her children. “I wanted to be sure my kids treated everyone the same, that they would not react to a wheelchair with surprise, discomfort or fear,� Case says in the forward of the book. As for what pushed Ecklund to continue with her dreams, she cites her faith as keeping her going after her accident. “It’s the end-all – without it, all would be in vain. It’s totally my lifeline; it is what saved me, it is what grounded me, it is what keeps me afloat everyday. Without it there is no strong – it’s his strength not mine. I’m positive that even though life is hard, and life has thrown me quite the curveball, without (faith) I don’t know where I would be,� Ecklund said.

WAPATO CREEK WORK IS OUT TO BID By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@fifefreepress.com

F

lood control mitigation work on Wapato Creek linked to improvements on Port of Tacoma Road is out for bid on two fronts. The City of Fife is seeking contractors for up to $3.5 million in wetland improvements along the 6500 block of Valley Avenue for what could eventually be a new park near Brookville Gardens, while Port of Tacoma has a $10 million list of work about a mile away to control flooding of the tideflats. The Fife-funded work includes the construction of wetlands and relocation of a portion of Wapato Creek, construction of road and pond embankment, plantings with a plant establishment requirement, construction of a detention basin under a landscaping design BCRA Design crafted more than a year ago. This new Brookville Garden Park will be a passive nature area in Fife that could eventually have an educational hatchery that would provide information about the life cycle of salmon in the river. But that would come years from now since the current project will take about two years and there is no funding to pay for the $250,000 hatchery even if it was added to the site. Land for it, however, is being set aside if the idea moves forward. “It’s still conceivable,� Public Works Director Russ Blount said. “We continue to keep it going.� Late council member Richard Godwin championed the idea before his death last year. As the plan for the 15-acre site outlines now, the park will have rolling knolls created from fill dirt being trucked in from other sites and natural plants to control water demand and maintenance. Some playground equipment will be included in the park but the land will mostly focus on passive use such as walking and picnicking rather than more active uses. The Port work will involve two projects totaling more than $19 million to restore the creek habitat and prepare a port-owned parcel east of Alexander Avenue and north of East 12th Street for future development. The site had been used to store soil dredged up from the waterway. ILLUSTRATIONS COURTESY OF CITY OF FIFE

7(92 Wapato restoration plans include rechanneling part of the creek to control flooding as well as the creation of a passive park.

The U.S. should not be more like France By Don C. Brunell President Obama thinks the United States should be more like France. He made the comment recently while pushing for mandatory paid family leave. “France has worked this out, why can’t we?� Really! Look a little deeper and let’s see if the French have worked it out. France requires employers to provide an array of benefits, including a $13 per hr. minimum wage, four months of maternity leave, two weeks of paternity leave, a 35-hour work week, subsidized lunches, subsidized transit passes, subsidized health care and generous vacation time – like one month a year. In some cases, companies are required by their union contracts to pay 13 months of salary for 12 months work. But there’s a catch. To get that pay and benefits, you must have a job. And in France, that can be a problem. France’s unemployment rate has been above 9 percent for 18 years. Currently, it’s 10.1 percent – 23 percent for young people. One-third of those have been jobless for more than a year. France’s anemic job market isn’t surprising when you consider the economy has averaged a pathetic 0.8 percent annual growth rate over the last five years. But that’s not all. According to Numbeo.com, a global database of reported consumer prices, high prices in France make it hard to

make ends meet. The average resident has almost 45 percent less local purchasing power than U.S. consumers. Grocery prices are 17 percent higher, restaurant prices are almost 34 percent higher, a gallon of gas costs nearly $8, and consumer prices including rent are 18 percent higher. The truth is worker benefits are not free. They cost money and someone has to pay. Initially, the employer foots the bill, but those costs must be offset through higher prices or fewer jobs. Too many American politicians today lack an understanding of this basic law of economics, which isn’t going to change. Perhaps it is because they have never run a business, never had to make payroll, That lack of understanding is why America is mired in the worst economic “recovery� since the Great Depression. Our moribund economy, shackled by a growing roster of costly government regulations and expanded federal entitlements is now in the fifth year of a non-recovery. Five years after the end of the recession, the U.S. has still not regained the jobs it lost, when you factor in population growth. The Commerce Department reports that in May, just over 2 million workers found jobs, but 2.3 million left the labor force. That’s the 48th time in the past 49 months that jobseekers were more likely to quit looking than to find work. Hopefully, President Obama will realize that heaping more costs onto

the backs of struggling employers will only make matters worse. It’s something Governor Inslee should keep in mind, as well. According to the Washington Department of Employment Security, in May 75 percent of the counties in our state had unemployment rates above the national average. Nevertheless, Gov. Inslee has signaled his support for a veritable smorgasbord of expensive programs, including raising the minimum wage, pay raises for public employees, new water quality regulations that could costs billions with no appreciable environmental benefit, and a climate change agenda that could increase construction costs and send energy prices skyrocketing. This is not the time to pile more costs on struggling families, employers and taxpayers. As we see in France, when the government burdens employers and families with added costs, everyone pays – in higher prices, lost jobs and a weakened economy. As leaders in both Washingtons seek a cure for our ailing economy, they should remember the doctors’ Hippocratic Oath: “First, do no harm.� 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.

Get used to it, Tacoma! By Bill Johnston The State Department of Corrections needs a place to dump “offenders� that have served their time. Dump them in Tacoma! Open the door at Western State and give them bus fare to Tacoma! The “sex offenders� are in Pierce County, so when they are released the local newspaper tells us what part of Tacoma they are moving to. Need a jail for the undocumented? Build it in Tacoma! When the Port of Seattle wants to get the noise pollution pressure off King County, re-route the incoming flights over - you guessed it - Tacoma! Well, if you weren’t already used to being the state’s dumping ground for every institution dealing with the dysfunctional and criminal, get used to it! Tacoma City Council has just guaranteed our weak, ineffectual city government will continue and remain a weak, disjointed, uncoordinated insiders’ game. Voting to deny Tacoma citizens the right to vote on whether or not they want a mayor-council city government, Tacoma City Council member David Boe gushed over “an innate beauty to the system we have now.� This is a system that has brought us over 40 years of an abandoned Elks Temple at the very entrance to the city. Destruction of historic city buildings by order of the unelected city manager. A city that has almost 200 fewer police and fire fighters since 1992. They are gone so raises could be provided to the unelected city manager and his bureaucrats. A deranged police chief who murdered his wife but was a “pal� with the city manager. Maintain the streets? Forget it! Our current city manager (from Texas) sees that Walmart monstrosity on Union Avenue to be an economic “win.� Apart from the traffic mess, the only immediate effect has been

the loss of one of our biggest locally owned grocery stores and the good union jobs that went with it. Walmart employees, on the other hand, rely on food stamps and state assistance costing the taxpayers millions every year. Yeah, way to go Tacoma city government. I’m sorry, Councilman Boe, but your definition of “beauty� escapes me. And if you would like, I can provide you with dozens of other examples of the current system of city government falling flat on its face. A system uncoordinated and a circus of city departments that don’t talk to each other. And a city “manager� who doesn’t even have to tell us who he talks to. He just joins in the game of protecting turf. The city council can’t do a thing about it because they have no power. Much blame falls on the city council and the reality is they set the “Charter Review Commission� up to fail. Rather than have the voters pick freeholders who could bring ideas for change from the people to an election, the council appointed the members of the commission. You could apply if you wanted -if you knew anything about it or how. Not likely! The most conservative member of the council, Joe Lonergan, ran the selection procedure and questions remain as to the openness of the process. Let’s just say “reformers� had little chance of being appointed. Yet not all the blame falls on the city council failing to move the mayorcouncil issue to the ballot. Mayor Strickland pointed out she had asked for a fiscal note (i.e. What’s the cost?) and didn’t get one. She asked for “pro and con� statements from the charter commission members and did not receive any. And this is pretty basic stuff and reasonable. One might ask how seriously the commission members approached their task. And where were any of Tacoma’s progressive groups? Certainly organized labor has an interest in the

form of government the city has. The government they have to negotiate with every so often. Or the Democratic Party? Tacoma votes typically 70 percent-plus Democratic in elections. City manager vs. mayor-council is a matter of “democratic� government vs. government by unelected bureaucrats - do you think the Democratic Party might have an interest – maybe? Where were the neighborhood councils? And the so-called community input was at meetings scheduled for 5:00 in the afternoon – not real handy if you have a job. As I said, this was a process set up to fail and it did. Tacoma will continue to “maintain� as we have for these many years. Our city council will remain the holding pen for those seeking higher elected office somewhere else. The city manager will continue to control the information and share it only with his bureaucratic minions and the chosen who hold the financial power to be an insider. The citizens, who by design or through their own lack of civic interest, will continue to be easily ignored. After all, where were they as the Charter Commission deception was being pulled on them this time? AWOL – absent without leave! I shall continue my love – hate relationship with the City of Destiny. I love Tacoma and will never leave but our city government is long overdue for a major overhaul. Well, maybe in another 10 years! William F.

There is no shortage of people griping about government, both distant and local. And there are plenty of reasons for frowns. Scenes of national figures caught in seemingly ethically challenged deals and years of enduring, unrepaired streets have a way of jading people against all things government. Rather than following the easy route by lamenting in silence and thinking everyone in government knows what you know and thinks how you think, a novel approach might be to tell them. A decision might go differently than what you would have done, but at least you can say you tried. And there are several upcoming ways to voice your thoughts on local issues. Tacoma City Council is set to decide Tuesday on the final slate of changes to the city charter that will face voters in the fall. Applications for the pro and con sides of each ballot measures are already being collected. There will certainly be time to comment about the slate between now and the fall. While the most controversial topic of changing the duties of the mayor and council didn’t make the final cut, that too could be the focus of a community initiative effort if enough residents feel passionate about it to sign a petition. A petition would need about 3,200 signatures to put the recommendation on the ballot since state law sets the number as 10 percent of the last mayoral election. Since Strickland ran unopposed during the last election, the threshold of 3,200 names is significantly low. But there is a tight timeline to reach even that in time for the fall. More important to some people is not how the city works but how it spends taxpayer dollars. The upcoming biannual budget is working its way through reviews and hearings before it becomes final in the fall. Community outreach presentations in person and online during the next two months are meant to not only lay out the state of the city but gather thoughts about the spending plan for the next two years. Dollars are tight, so there will be cuts in some areas and more dollars in others. Not everyone will be happy. Everyone wants their street repaired, a police officer on every corner and no taxes from their own pocket to pay for either. That just can’t happen. Regardless of how the city got into its continuous budget troubles, the city is where the city is. The general fund already faces a $6 million shortfall if current service levels remain, but that is down by $20 million from previous projections. But then the gap could grow to $26 million by 2018 and twice that during the two-year budget after then. That’s nothing new since the current budget started out with a $63 million shortfall that was covered through deep cuts, layoffs, union concessions and deferred replacement of equipment and vehicles. And then there is that decades-old roster of deferred street repairs that is growing and likely tops $1 billion in work that will take a generation to handle. Neither higher taxes nor deep cuts will fix Tacoma’s problems and make everyone happy. So voice what is important to you. Otherwise you will get a government and a budget someone else crafted on your behalf.

said, referring to the cast of actors that take on the personality, mannerisms and voice inflection or accent of the person they’re portraying – at least as much as can be deduced from research and the time period. You’ll “meetâ€? Bishop Lemuel Wells (played by Mike Preston) who helped found Annie Wright School and dined with Queen Victoria; the mountain climbing Judge James Wickersham (Patrick Haas); Dr. Jennie Reed (Gloria Ricketts), a teacher so beloved and ahead of her time that they named a Tacoma school (Jennie Reed Elementary) after her; and other notables including Marcus Davis (Joseph Govednik), Edward and Letitia Huggins (Lawrence Bradley and Dana Repp) and William Bonney (Walter Neary). An advisory board helped craft the tours: Melissa McGinnis, historic and cultural resource manager with Metro Parks; Jeanie Fisher, special collections librarian and archivist at Tacoma Public Library’s Northwest Room; and Christopher Engh of the Tacoma Cemetery. In choosing which historic figures to include on the tour, the actors and their advisors considered several criteria. “They tend to be people who are (buried) close enough together so that it can be a walking tour. And they have to have enough of a story to tell‌and that we have somebody who can portray them,â€? Haas said. Sometimes, exceptions are made such as including Thea Foss in the tour, as her gravesite is set back a bit from the rest. Also on this tour an allowance was made for the physical size of the late Dr. Jennie Reed. “Dr. Jennie Reed was said to be about five feet tall but Gloria (Ricketts, actor) is a bit taller than that. Jennie Reed was a wonderful educator at a time when not a lot of women had that. She saw children as individuals who needed to be taught in their

own way.� The re-enactors comprise a loosely knit, select group called the Fort Nisqually Time Travelers who got to know each other while presenting historical re-enactments at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum. “It’s an unofficial group of friends who found that living history is so cool that we keep doing it,� Haas explained. “Each of the reenactors do their own research, write their own scripts and build their own attire,� Haas said, although it’s really a group effort among them all. Haas described the historic figure she will portray – Agnes Muehler Huth, whose family immigrated from Germany when she was seven years old and settled in what is now South Hill. “Apparently, their homestead was a bit of a fixer-upper as folks called it “Swamp Muehler Place.� German stick-to-it-iveness resulted in more than 500 acres in hops. Stands to reason she’d meet the new German brewmaster Anton Huth when he came to town. He founded Pacific Brewing and Malt Company and a real estate empire. When he died, six months after Prohibition became Washington state law in January of 1916, they figure he was worth $1,000,000 and that was when ‘a million’ meant something. “Upon his death, Agnes and her three adult children joined to form the Huth Estate Inc., which made the real estate empire even bigger. They also joined with Anton’s partner, William Virges, to use the former brewery buildings for their new National Cocoanut Butter Co & National Soap Company, the latter of which made Playmate soap that ‘makes play of the work.’� The Living History Cemetery Tours start every 20 minutes from 6-7:40 p.m. on Friday, July 18 and 5:40-7:40 p.m. on Saturday, July 19. Tickets are $10 each and advance registration is required – visit the Tacoma Cemetery Office at 4801 South Tacoma Way, call (253) 472-3368 or e-mail chris@ newtacoma.com. As the cemetery ground is often uneven, comfortable walking shoes are encouraged.

NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR ARTS CONTRIBUTIONS Nominations for the 2014 AMOCAT Arts Awards are due by Aug. 1 to the Tacoma Arts Commission. An online nomination form is available at www. surveymonkey.com/s/amocat14. “Tacoma is home to an amazing group of arts supporters – people, organizations and patrons who invest their energy and passion into improving our community through the arts,� said Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “The AMOCAT Arts Awards help recognize and commend these people for all they do to make our city a more vibrant place to live and work.� The three award categories are:

Community Outreach by an Individual – Community outreach, engagement and involvement in the arts in Tacoma by an individual Community Outreach by an Organization – Community outreach, engagement and involvement in the arts in Tacoma by an organization Arts Patron – A community partner who significantly supports or contributes to the arts in Tacoma The Tacoma Arts Commission will review all nominations and select one finalist in each award category based on the breadth and depth of the nominee’s community impact as well

as the quality of the work being done by the nominee, not by the number of times the nominee has been nominated. Strickland will present the 2014 AMOCAT Arts Awards at the Tacoma Arts Month Opening Party on Oct. 2. In the category of Community Outreach by an Individual, past winners include: Lynn Di Nino, Jared Pappas-Kelley and Michael S.

community who have stepped up to support this critical endeavor.� That leaves $854,572.89 for the rest of us, and Tucci is eager “to launch the community phase of the campaign in the fall and invite all of Pierce County to participate in this vital initiative to help end homelessness.� As the member of the steering committee who didn’t know any wealthy donors to approach, I am pretty sure we, the extraordinary ordinary, are Tacoma’s richest resource. Some of us have family members and friends who fell under the weight of mental illness and addiction. Our extended family thanks a Seattle CCS program for the new and happy life of a sibling, so we (and she) will be giving. Some of us want to do the right, and meaningful, thing for the person who asks politely for money for booze, but uses the word “food� instead. Some of us want to support a solid effort to give people a better place to spend the day, and night, than in front of a business, or in an illegal encampment. That’s good for business and bad for crime, none of which is petty when it hits our home or car. Some of us, especially first responders including firefighters and police officers, like the idea of not getting punched or barfed on by the street drunks who know them by name and regard them as friends. We will all have our chance when the fundraising campaign goes to the general public in the fall. If you can’t wait, don’t. Please feel free to send donations to The New Nativity House, Catholic Community

dollars across the state and the nation. A National Alliance to End Homelessness study shows that the Housing First model keeps people out of emergency departments, courts, jails and serial rehab failures, for a savings of $30,000 a year per person. Given that math, the 50 New Nativity House apartments have the potential to save $1.5 million in local dollars. That persuaded the state, county and city to allocate $4.8 million to the New Nativity House project, and it attracted another $6.2 million in private tax credit investments, for a total of $11 million of the project’s cost. That left $5 million to be raised locally. Half would go to construction and half to The Pathways Fund to pay for those key support services for Nativity House guests and residents. To bring it in, Mike Tucci, Sr., and CCS Agency Director Denny Hunthausen convened a capital campaign steering committee. Members of the committee have gone to potential major donors with a joyful pitch: Do the right thing by our most vulnerable brothers and sisters, and save lives and tax money in the process. The message resonated with individuals and foundations. As of the end of June, the campaign has raised $4,145,427.11 in cash and pledges. It has been a joy, Tucci said. “We are truly grateful for the generosity of so many in our

run through early August. For the 2015-2016 budget, expenses are projected to grow faster than revenues. In order to maintain the levels of service provided by the city’s general fund, the shortfall is projected to be around $6 million, although it had been previously projected to be as high as $26 million. This gap is projected to grow in future years if the city were to address deferred maintenance issues and provide funding for other capital and services. The 2017-2018 budget faces a $13 million gap and a $20 million gap during the 2019-2020 budget years. Those gaps roughly double if deferred repairs and upgrades are actually addressed. Previous budget have already cut every department, so city officials are looking for ways to close the gap between revenues and expenditures by balancing the need for savings with the effective delivery of core services and want suggestions and comments during the process. A budget-training session with City Council members and a public survey suggest road repairs will get more funding at the cost of arts and events programs. Earlier this year, council members were asked to draft a budget based on a hypothetical $10. Based on the exercise, street repairs and funding for the Eastside Community Center would get more dollars at the cost of reduced sponsorships of community events like Freedom Fair and First Night. An online survey and telephone poll of residents suggested similar priorities. A second series of budget meetings will come in October, shortly after the proposed biennial budget is presented to the city council.

Services, 1323 Yakima Ave., Tacoma, WA 98405. Beyond that, there is one more element to the campaign. Though all 50 efficiency apartments will have small kitchens, private bathrooms and practical, built-in furniture, they will need the linens, cookware and cleaning supplies that make a home. Rosemary Zillmer, who is working on the campaign, thinks of those things as feathers for the 50 nests. She, Nativity House director Nick Leiter, and another Tucci-led committee are figuring out how best to collect these new items for the opening round of residents who will likely move in after Christmas. They also are considering partnerships that can keep the supply coming as residents move on from those first, stabilizing apartments. Zillmer, impressed by the rampant generosity of workplace friends, youth groups and unions, likes the idea of awarding naming rights for a room in return for a $5,000 donation. As a random bargain shopper, I like setting up registries, as we would for a baby shower or a wedding or a guy who saves students from a potential mass shooter, and opening them up to donors. It’s not necessarily a choice here. The committee is looking forward to hearing suggestions for ways to donate and partnerships to form to build into a sustainable furnishings plan. If you have a great idea, please let me know. And next time you drive Yakima Avenue, give a wave to the construction workers building The New Nativity House.

F

or many, the game of golf is too expensive, too difficult and it takes much too long to get through nine or 18 holes in this busy world. Those are serious problems for golf throughout the country as courses close and more duffers walk away from the game. This is where Tacoma’s Highlands Golf Course comes in to play. Nestled throughout the Highland Hills neighborhood on Tacoma’s west side, Highlands offers up a golf experience that is inexpensive, enjoyable and can take as little as 75 minutes to navigate through the nine hole course. Highlands has been going through some lean years, just like the rest of the golf courses around the Puget Sound and the country. Since 2006, the number of rounds played per year has dropped from approximately 37,000 to 21,000. However, the course is still as beautiful as ever and golfers still have a legitimate chance for a hole-in-one on all nine holes. So why the drop-off? Some suggest that many golfers have simply put their clubs away and forgotten about them. Why spend so much money on a sport that gets seemingly more difficult with every golf course built? Apparently, the era of “bigger, longer and tougher” golf courses has backfired. It makes for exciting golf tournaments on the television, but for the average player dropping $50 for six hours of bad golf and frustration, it has proven to be too much for the market to bear. This is all even more of a reason to reconnect with Highlands. $12 gets you nine holes. The shortest hole is 100 yards and the longest is 200 yards. A handful of sand traps, some trees and a couple of small water hazards are there to keep it a challenge, but the course is generally the most relaxing nine holes to be found in these parts. Most folks are unaware of the long history of the course and the troubles and effort it took to keep it afloat all these years.

In some form, Highlands (formerly known as Highland Hills) has been serving Tacoma’s golfers for over 80 years. When the original course was built in 1931, the course looked like something from another planet. “We’re still on parcels of it,” said Doug McArthur, part-owner of Highlands and long-time Tacoma Athletic Commission standard-bearer. “As near as we can determine this would be the northern-most part of it. It was a regular 18-hole regulation course. I remember playing it as a kid and what I remember most is they didn’t have any water on the course except for the greens. I want to say there wasn’t any grass on the fairways or it was just dried up scrub.” Golfers also teed-off from mats back in those days when a round of 18 set you back a whopping 50 cents. In the 1950’s the west side of the course was neighbors to the old Auto View DriveIn Theater and around 1971 Highland Hills was converted to a short par-three course and slowly slipped into ruin. “In 1980 I picked up the paper one day and there was a front page picture of some kids that lived in an apartment down there on Sixth Avenue with fish in their bathtub,” said McArthur. “They were playing with fish in their bathtub! They had gone down to the pond, which existed here on the course and it was drying up and they didn’t want the fish to die. So they took them home. “So that prompted me to come up and take a look. I honestly couldn’t believe what I saw. Most of the grass was over a foot high. The greens literally had cracks in them about threeinches wide, almost the entire length of the green. Their holes had broomsticks in them. No flags, just a broomstick on all the nine holes.” At the time, McArthur was involved with the Safeco Classic golf tournament, so the golf business wasn’t entirely foreign to him. “I called my buddy Wayne Thronson who was playing at Fircrest at the time,” said McArthur. “I said I’d meet him over at Highlands because he

needed to see this place. He too was appalled. We approached the Park District and said why don’t you buy that course, it is in terrible condition but it’s a neat little course. “The Park District looked at it and didn’t think they could take it on. They thought it was more of a mom and pop operation.” After taking some good advice from a local banker, McArthur went to work at saving the course. There was no way he was going to be able to do it alone. So he approached 19 local friends and colleagues who each invested $5000 into the deal and the worn-down Highland Hills course had new owners and some operating cash leftover after the sale. One of the costliest fixes they were looking at was a possible replacement of the entire sprinkler system. To their surprise, they spent $900 on new sprinkler heads and the whole system worked just fine. Green grass was going to make a comeback. Fast-forward 34 years and the course is in good shape and caring hands. The locals living around the course (many make up the men’s and women’s clubs there) have spruced the place up with beautiful flowers, bushes and shrubs. The clubhouse is stocked with a variety of golf gear, snacks and drinks and offers a relaxing backroom to tally-up the scorecard and catch a break from the sun. “It’s particularly terrific for women and kids and seniors,” said McArthur. “But it’s great for even the best golfers to work on their short-game and putting – which makes up most of the game of golf anyways.” If you didn’t know Highlands was tucked-away over on the westside, give it a try and you’ll probably love it. It’s truly one of the hidden gems of Tacoma and it deserves the support of the Tacoma community. Highlands Golf Course is located at 1400 North Highlands Parkway a short turn off of Pearl Street.

Roy Howell, 61, has managed the Rainiers for all of the 2014 season. He has spent several seasons coaching and managing lower level teams but this is his first experience at the Triple A level. Howell also had an 11 year playing career with three Major League (Texas, Toronto and Milwaukee) and three minor league teams. Tacoma Weekly’s baseball correspondent, Karen Westeen, talked to Howell recently about the year so far and what plans he has for the second half.

KW: This season started out with eight games postponed because of rain in the first month. Have you had weather problems like that at other levels you’ve managed? RH: Not so consistently. Here there were times when we just couldn’t get on the field and the first month of the year it’s so important to get out early and get to know each other at this level. In spring training they’ve been in big league camp or at Double-A. These guys did a nice job of making those compensations. KW: And then a couple of weeks ago in El Paso you had something happen you’ve probably never experienced before—no equipment when you got there. RH: We were sitting on the plane and I looked out my window and saw that all our bags were at another gate. This was the third leg of the flight and there was no room in the plane for much except some personal bags, so about 60 bags and containers had to catch up with us. They had a sellout crowd and there was no way we could play that first game so the next day we had to play a split doubleheader, noon and 7pm. That 12 o’clock game was about 108 to 110 degrees and it was a long, long day. KW: So far in just over half of your season there have been almost a hundred transactions. Is that typical at the other levels where you’ve been? RH: No, you might have 10 to 15 for the whole year but here you’ve got players on the forty man roster, free agents that have been signed and have outs in their contracts. Other players are here on rehab assignments. When people ask me what’s the toughest part of managing in the Pacific Coast League, I say it’s not the travel, it’s the player movement that’s crazy because you’re trying to get a continuity with your ball club.

:6<;/ :6<5+ -* ;0;3, /67,: AFLOAT – TACOMA STARS RETURN By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

W

ith fans around the globe losing their collective mind once again during this year’s World Cup soccer tournament, the excitement surrounding the game here in the Tacoma area has recently included much more than news of a successful run by the USA National Team. Two recent bits of information are adding to the mounting pride and anticipation. Firstly, in the eight-team Evergreen Premier League (EPLWA), the South Sound Shock FC controls its own destiny at the top of the league’s standings with three games left to play. If the Tacoma franchise wins out, they win the soon-to-be-named EPLWA inaugural championship trophy. Secondly, this fall will see the return of the Tacoma Stars to competitive action in the newly-formed Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL). Starting in November, the club will begin league play at the Tacoma Soccer Center reviving memories of the glory days of Tacoma soccer back in the 1980s. The South Sound FC was originally going to represent Tacoma in the new WISL, but as the legal wrangling surrounding the ownership of the Tacoma Stars brand has apparently come to a close, it was decided instead that the Shock players would fill-out the roster of the much more recognizable team. “The Tacoma Stars name is one that many soccer people in Washington and even around the country have always held in high regard,� said Lane Smith, who will be majority owner of the Stars. “We are thrilled to be bringing that famous name back into competition and at the same time helping to start a league for fans, players and owners that understands and respects local indoor soccer culture and history.� The new league has hit the ground running with six teams already on board for a November start. So far, franchises from Tacoma, Bellingham, Arlington, Everett, Wenatchee and Portland have signed-on. “We want to build a community of indoor soccer hotbeds where players can compete and fans can support their local clubs from the stands during our sometimes long Northwest winters,� said John Crouch, owner of South Sound FC and minority-owner/general manager of the new Stars team. “It’s vital for us to make our league good business sense for owners of clubs and owners of arenas.� The creation of the WISL (pronounced “whistle�) was a logical response for several teams after repeated problems with the former Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL) and its history of questionable decisions. Don’t be surprised if WISL expands to more teams before the season

starts as the league is still looking and accepting applications for franchises. “We have a great indoor scene locally,� said Crouch. “The Tacoma Soccer Center is the best facility in the region for it with elevated seating, a bar and all that. Basically, it was our goal to bring soccer back to the Tacoma Soccer Center. We knew that everybody was frustrated with the PASL. We knew we could do it cheaper, we could write our own schedules, and it could be our own deal. “They’ve put a new field in there,� Crouch said about the Tacoma Soccer Center. “We’ll bring our DJ and our flavor and our blue-collar soccer, and the Tacoma Stars are going to be back. We believe Tacoma is the type of place that appreciates this type of place. It’s got a little bit of mystique to it, but at the same time it’s going to be rocking in there.� Crouch said the league is also trying to woo the successful Kitsap Pumas franchise into the league. In recent months,

the Pumas organization has hinted at folding the indoor soccer side of their operations due to so many scheduling conflicts for their players. Perhaps a home-based league like the WISL will offer enough wiggle-room and autonomy for the Pumas to make it happen. On the EPLWA side, the first-year league has witnessed solid response from their respective communities and plans are afoot for further expansion in the near-future with locales such as Tri-Cities and Walla Walla mentioned as possibilities. Currently the league has franchises in Tacoma, Seattle, Bremerton, Wenatchee, Vancouver, Bellingham and Spokane. South Sound FC is currently tied for first-place with the Vancouver Victory FC with 25 league points apiece. The Shock have three games remaining, including a July 20 season finale at Vancouver which will probably be for the EPLWA championship trophy. The word on the street is that the new championship trophy will be named after a local soccer coaching legend, but information has been cobbled together from hints and speculation. With teams made up primarily of college players, the idea of an English Premier League “winner-take-all� fit the EPLWA much better than additional weeks with

Bark Plaza

playoff games running into a time crunch as many players begin heading back to their schools. “There will be an all-star game where the winner of the league will play an allstar team made up from the rest of the league,� said Crouch, whose club will have played 14 league and 4 friendly games by season’s end. “It’s a long season already, we’ve put in a lot of games and we’re tired.� Still, the main goal for every team in this developmental league is to nurture and promote local talent and perhaps set them on a launching pad to a larger soccer stage. Crouch and the South Sound FC are no different. “Play with us, we’re going to get you games, we’re going to get you fit and we’re going to get you to a high-level and an opportunity to potentially shine and move on to the next level,� said Crouch. “We consider ourselves blue-collar guys. We don’t care where you came from. We don’t care what your grades were. We want to help you get better and be a better man.� The Shock hosts the Seattle Stars FC for their final home game Thursday, July 10, at Lakewood’s Harry Lang Stadium. Kick-off is 7:30 p.m. South Sound FC includes former stars from Bellarmine, Stadium and Wilson, as well as current PLU and UPS standouts.

The Northwest’s most intimidating MMA fighter, Brent “Mankill� Knopp (5-0), is stepping back into the cage July 19 for CageSport 31, looking to defend his middleweight title for the second time, taking on Idaho’s Will Noland (8-4). Knopp and Noland have emerged as the top two middleweights in the Northwest and Noland will get his first crack at the West Coast’s premier MMA middleweight title. Tickets for CageSport 31 at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma are on sale and can be purchased at the EQC box office and at all Ticketmaster outlets. Prices start at $35 and fans are encouraged to get their tickets early as CageSport has exploded in popularity

regularly selling-out the 1500 seat EQC showroom. At CageSport 30, a title eliminator match between Alfonso Gonzales and Jared Torgeson took place with the winner, Alfonso Gonzales, getting the opportunity to fight Brent Knopp for the middleweight title in July. After defeating Torgeson, Gonzales took a fight with Legacy promotions thus taking him out of consideration for the July middleweight title fight. Replacing Torgeson is Idaho’s Will Noland who will be making his CageSport debut. Noland has won six of his last seven fights and has all the momentum he can ask for riding into his match-up against the CageSport middleweight champion. Brent Knopps’s fight moniker, Mankill, has been backed up and proven throughout his five CageSport appearances. All five of Knopp’s wins have come via TKO/knockout usually being ended by devastating hammer fists that his opponents are still figuring how to defend. Knopp’s most recent fight may have been his most memorable yet, taking on StrikeForce veteran, Cory Devela, in a fight that featured two sluggers using every ounce of energy. Midway through the fourth round, Knopp prevailed, getting the TKO victory and the first sense that he has the potential to become a national MMA star. Nine undercard fights are also scheduled throughout the night, featuring the West Coast’s best up and coming professional MMA fighters. Doors for CageSport 31 open at 6 PM with the first fight scheduled for 7 PM.

TACOMA MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS SCHEDULE CHANGE BRINGS BENEFITS

W Sportswatch

After gathering input from middle school administrators, coaches and athletic directors, Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) created the 20142015 middle school athletic calendar with a four-season schedule instead of a five-season schedule used the past two years. The move to a four-season athletic cycle means some student athletes will need to make a choice of which sport to participate in. However, the change will create numerous benefits as well, including: Maximizing facility use: Each season will only include one gym sport so that schools with limited space will still be able to provide adequate space for practice and competition. In addition, moving baseball to the fall allows TPS middle school teams without fields to use TPS high school fields. Some of the high schools will benefit from additional field access during spring. More access to high quality coaches and officials: Wrestling, baseball and boys basketball will specifically benefit from being

Open makes its Pacific Northwest debut at Chambers Bay. In this event series, a team’s fundraising ability is valued as much as its performance on the golf course. Teams will compete in a combined lownet event for a selection of regional prizes and all teams that raise $13,000 or more will join Els and his friends from the PGA Tour at the Series Finale in Las Vegas in October, where major prizes will be up for grabs. Since the inaugural 2011 series, the Els for Autism Golf Challenge has raised over $6 million for autism thanks to 5,000 rounds of golf and over 15,000 donors pledging funds. The series has also helped raise awareness of a disorder that now affects one in 68 children and one in 42 boys.

W Rainiers are baseball players. At this level they’ve been around a little bit. A new guys walks in and the next day it’s like he’s been there for a month. That’s what’s really nice about it.

KW: There’s been a lot

of ups and downs in the first half. Did those winning and losing streaks have much to do with all these personnel changes? RH: That has a lot to do with it. You have guys going up and down. James Jones was our center fielder, and he’s in the big leagues now. Nick Franklin was really hot and he went up, Montero went up. It changes the complexity of your ball club. Your .345 hitters are now in the big leagues, they aren’t doing that well there but when they were here that’s what they were doing. The other guys have stepped up and become those guys. We had a situation with losing games. I think it was with El Paso. We lost five in a row by one run and you just can’t get that hit at the right time. That’s why this game’s so beautiful. There’s no clock on it. There’s nothing you can do except play and get 27 outs. Anything can happen down to the last pitch. You can be 0-2, nobody on base, down by five runs, and you can still win.

KW: The Pacific Coast

League All Star team was announced yesterday and Tacoma placed a record four players on it. Who are they? RH: Infielders Chris Taylor, Nick Franklin and Gabriel Noriega, and relief pitcher Logan Kensing. (This is the first time since 2001 that Tacoma has had four players named to the team. The game is being played on Wednesday, July 16, at Durham, North Carolina. It will be broadcast on AM radio 850 and televised on the MLB network beginning at 4 p.m.)

KW: What are you going to do during the All Star break? RH: My oldest son and his wife are coming up from Pismo Beach, California, and my wife will

moved away from the high school season of the same sport. This will allow high school coaches to coach TPS middle school athletes, which is already happening in boys soccer, volleyball and football. More skilled officials will be available for middle school sports, because they won’t have to choose between coaching middle school or high school athletes. Longer seasons equal more time for teaching: On average, each of the four athletic seasons will be two full weeks longer than in the previous five-season model. This will allow for more instruction and teaching to take place, ensuring a higher-quality, more-skilled and safer athlete in competition. In certain sports, specifically football, the longer seasons will also allow for more games to be played without compromising recommended rest and recovery time in between games. In addition to these schedule changes, the district will offer junior varsity baseball and junior varsity fastpitch during the 2014-2015

His degree is in land management and he wants to visit Mt. St. Helen’s to see how an area that’s lost a forest or watershed is revived. We’re just going to have fun.

KW: Have you ever

school year, in part, through a donation from Sports in Schools. The district will use part of the $15,000 donation to purchase new uniforms and equipment and pay for additional transportation and umpires for these sports. The addition of JV baseball and fastpitch could provide more than 270 opportunities for middle school students to participate in after-school activities. The switch to a four-season athletic cycle comes after two years of using a five-season cycle, which helped usher in two new sports: girls cross country and football. During those two years, the district established the highly successful competitive model for middle school athletics. In the 2013-2014 school year, middle school athletics opened up opportunities for more than 3,700 student-athletes across the district. Of those participants, 51.2 percent were female.

KW: Have you worked with any of these rehabbing players before they got here? RH: Fortunately I was in the Big League camp this spring as the hitting instructor and was in the batting cage with them every day. That’s where I got to meet these guys and now that they’re playing for me it’s nice to have had that one on one experience. It’s been very easy for me because they’re good guys and great players and they come here to get their work

KW: Will your rotation change any after the break? RH: It will probably change just because of wear and tear. And the trading deadline is coming. We try to make sure that we have enough starting pitching that can be consistent. But you never know. Two of them could be gone tomorrow in trades. And there’s also the players from the lower levels who need to be rewarded for having a good first half if we lose somebody from up here. Right now it’s kind of in flux.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT SUPPORTING THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY

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

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

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

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

Support For Our Native Community To the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the word “communityâ€? means more than their own membership circle. With more than 4,600 Puyallup tribal members locally and across the country, and an Indian population of more than 24,000 in the tri-county area, the Puyallup Tribe takes great pride in continuing its ancestral ways by caring for Native American people across the board. HEALTH CARE The Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) opened in 1974 and today offers a wide variety of services annually to a patient population of more than 12,000 from more than 200 tribes. Services provided include medical, pediatrics, dental, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, mental health counseling, tobacco cessation programs, problem gambling programs, and alcohol and drug treatment programs. Following the vision of continuous improvement, the Health Authority recently completed a 10,000-square-foot expansion, and is in the process of a renovation project that at completion will provide much needed clinical space by adding 13 exam rooms, six pediatric exam rooms and three dental operatories. PTHA was the first tribal clinic in the country to start an Osteopathic Family Medicine Residency in 2012. It began with two residents, and it was quickly recognized that expanding to four would go a long way toward filling access gaps. Four new residents began training in July. The residency will reach full capacity in FY15 with 12 residents. The vision of this program is to train new doctors to work in Indian Country with full understanding of how health is affected by the cultural, environmental and familial aspects of tribal communities. “We want to train healers not just technicians,â€? said Clinical Director Dr. Alan Shelton, MD. PTHA received national attention from the White House when President Obama addressed PTHA’s great success in a speech at the 2013 Tribal Nations Conference (in part): â€œâ€Ś[T]he Puyallup Tribal Health Authority in Washington state created the country’s first tribal family medicine residency program. Patients are cared for in a culturally sensitive way, often by Native American staff. And we’re seeing results – a young physician caring for a revered tribal elder; a doctor who has delivered babies in the community for years, and now his son is also doing the same. And that’s creating more quality health care, but also sustaining bonds between generations. That’s progress that we need to build on.â€? ELDERS Caring for their elders is a top priority for the Tribe, with $4.5 million spent last year on elder care services. The Tribe’s beautiful House of Respect Elders Center – a $13 million facility opened in 2009 – stands as testament to the Puyallups’ deeply held reverence for their elder membership. The center, located on a historically significant site above the Puyallup River, offers a variety of health and rec-

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

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

TACOMA PRIDE CELEBRATES

PROGRESS, COMMUNITY WITH INCREASINGLY ECLECTIC LINEUP OUT IN THE PARK LINEUP, JULY 12

TACOMA PRIDE. (Left) Revelers celebrate at The Mix’s Pride Block Party. (Right) Councilman Mello and Mayor Strickland after the Flag Raising celebration at the 2013 Tacoma Pride Festival kick off event. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

M

ichelle Douglas notes signs of progress every year during Tacoma Pride, the festival that celebrates local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and allied solidarity. The Rainbow Flag – an enduring symbol of LGBT awareness – has flown on the Tacoma Municipal Building during the event since 2010, and Mayor Marilyn Strickland will raise it again on Friday, July 11, to mark the six-day festival’s kickoff. Out in the Park - Tacoma Pride’s signature live entertainment event - drew an estimated 8,500 to Pierce Transit Park in 2013, about twice what it drew just a few years ago, when it was held at Wright Park; and many attendees were feeling especially celebratory following the legalization of same-sex marriage in Washington the previous year. This year, Douglas marvels that one of Pride’s events will be held at Stadium High School. “If you told me we would be having an event like this at Stadium 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have thought it was possible,” said Douglas, the director of Tacoma’s Rainbow Center, a local LGBT advocacy group that puts on Tacoma Pride with Pride Foundation, Oasis Youth Center, Pierce County AIDS Foundation, City of Tacoma and other partners. “The long-term legacy of the LGBTQA community in schools has been pretty challenging,” she said, noting that Jim Gaylord - a Tacoma teacher who made headlines in the ‘70s after being fired for being gay – would be honored this year. “It’s really different to be out now. Not that it’s not still a challenge, but it’s different to receive that support in your school instead of being asked to leave.” Tacoma Pride continues through July 16 with an eclectic lineup that features music, film, storytelling, drag perfor-

mance and more. Here is a breakdown of affiliated events: TACOMA PRIDE KICKOFF 4:30 p.m., July 11, Pantages Theater, 901 Broadway

Mayor Strickland will raise the rainbow flag and share a few words about what Pride Month means in the City of Tacoma, followed by Pride Foundation presenting its Rainbow Awards for leadership in working for equality in Pierce County. CROSSING THE THRESHOLD: LGBTQA STORIES OF SPIRIT 7:30 p.m. July 11, Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 901 N. J St.

Organized by KUOW-FM’s Megan Sukys and former Urban Grace pastor Tad Monroe, the Drunken Telegraph series showcases locals with stories of transformation to tell. This special session will feature six storytellers from the LGBT community exploring the intersection between gender identity, religion and spirituality. Audience members will also be invited to share their own five-minute stories. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online through www. broadwaycenter.org. OUT IN THE PARK Noon to 5 p.m. July 12, Broadway, between Ninth and 11th streets

This family-friendly event will have two stages packed with live music, speakers and drag performers, the likes of Kim Archer, Rockwell Powers and “The Voice” alumnus Stephanie Anne Johnson. (See sidebar for full schedule.) There will also be lots of local vendors, speakers and free HIV and STD screening conducted by the Tacoma Pierce County Health Department. THE MIX’S SIXTH ANNUAL PRIDE BLOCK PARTY 5 p.m. July 12, The Mix, 635 St. Helens Ave.

If you’re 21 or older, the party continues up the street at The Mix. St. Helens

Avenue will be blocked off for what event coordinator Adam Weber calls the bar’s biggest day. “On a weekend, we normally don’t serve more than a couple hundred people,” he said. “We are expecting a turnout of 1,500-plus this year.” The outdoor main stage will feature live entertainment until 10 p.m. with a lineup that includes AB Pure Entertainment, Florida (the band formerly known as Not From Brooklyn) and a headlining homecoming set by electronic dance music producer Eliot Lipp, who moved back to Tacoma from Brooklyn in January. “I haven’t played any shows in Tacoma since I moved here. I’ve just been laying low,” Lipp said. “So I’m excited about that, and also doing something that wasn’t just a club night. I like the fact that it’s a citywide event and it’s just kind of open to the public.” Music will continue inside the club with DHs until 4 a.m. with a $10 cover charge. See sidebar for full lineup, and go online to www.tacomaweekly.com to learn more about Lipps forthcoming album. PROUD OUT LOUD 6 p.m. July 13, Stadium High School, 111 N. E St.

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Muesum of the Week: Foss Waterway Seaport

ill Colby is one of the senior statesmen of the Tacoma art world. For some six decades now he has been producing a profusion of prints and paintings at a steady, workman-like rate. From 1956 through 1989 he was an art professor at University of Puget Sound, teaching printmaking, design, watercolor and art history. The Gallery at Tacoma Community College is currently hosting an exhibit of Colby’s work. Called “Bill Colby, Water and Rocks, a Journey,� the work in the show features depictions of beach rocks and river stones, Colby’s latest enthusiasm. While the majority of the works in the show were done within the last year, there are a number of other pieces from throughout Colby’s career that show that this theme of rocks and water is one that has engaged the artist over a sustained period of time. The show thus has a retrospective quality to it, allowing the viewer to track some of the stylistic changes and media in which the artist has worked through the decades. In the gallery’s entry area, for example, we meet Colby’s 1956 “Sun at Short Sands,� a woodcut print of a shoreline. The waves of the sea lap at a rocky shore while the solar disk above a mountain radiates its mystical force. The natural wood grains of the printing block are used to form the cloud pattern of the sky. In this early Colby image, one can see many of the hallmarks that have remained with the artist through the decades. “Rocky Shore,� a watercolor from 1970, is a subtle beauty. The colorful foreground boulders give way to a sandy expanse of beach that blends into sea and sky. There are a couple of crisp silkscreen prints from the 1980s and a masterful woodcut from 1995 called “Swift River.� The latter is a scene of rocks in the water. The embankment in the background is laced with the roots of a tree. The deft handling of the wood block and the presentation of the scene in a subtle coloring of inks show Colby at the height of his power as an artist. Colby is primarily known as the artist of the woodcut. His trademark is the use of the natural wood grain of the block as a prominent feature of the composition. His prints almost always entail multiple colors of ink as well as other media such as watercolor or acrylic. His prints are

The mission of the Foss Waterway Seaport is to celebrate Tacoma’s rich maritime heritage – past, present and future. Located on the waterfront in a century-old wooden wheat warehouse, built for cargo arriving by rail and departing by sail (“where rails met sails�) during the early years of Tacoma. The Foss Waterway Seaport is Puget Sound’s premier maritime heritage, education and event center where families, students and entire communities come to discover, explore, work and play. The development partners of this project – the Foss Waterway Seaport and the Foss Waterway Development Authority – are dedicated to creating a venue that will continue to bring the downtown waterfront to life as a place for everyone.

usually one-of-a-kind works (or very limited editions). Colby’s work of the recent past features stylized birds and trees (one of these is currently part of the “Ink This� print exhibit at Tacoma Art Museum). The bulk of the work in the TCC show features the pared down theme of rocks and water explored through a variety of media. Rocks and water: the boundary space where the land meets the shore; where the solid form meets the liquid form seems to hold a special fascination for Colby. He explores the theme through endless, playful variation that is fascinating to behold. There are the brightly hued, banded surfaces of the Stonewall/ Beach series. There is a waterfall series in which rocks and vertical waterfalls are depicted in a simple configuration that combines the mandala form with something approaching the subtlety of a Mark Rothko color field painting. “Red Rock River,� a woodcut and watercolor work, employs the grain of the wood for sky and river current which flows around potato-like river rocks that are mottled in red, orange, yellow and pink. It is inspiring to see an artist well in his 80’s still going strong in his work. Let us hope there is still much more to come. The artist’s reception for this show is July 17 from 4-6 p.m. The exhibit runs through Aug. 14. For further information call (253) 460-4306 or visit www.tacomacc. edu/campuslife/thegallery.

eadbangers flocked to Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre on a sweltering Tuesday afternoon to catch some of the hottest names in metal at the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Avenged Sevenfold headlined the main stage with “Bat Country,� “Hail to the King� and other fan favorites. Korn – lead by bagpipe-wielding front man Jonathan Davis – wowed with its own popular brand of symphonic groove-metal. And there was even a blast from the past as rapper Ice T and his controversial side project Body County performed “Cop Killer,� a protest song that drew the ire of law enforcement and none other than George H.W. Bush way back in 1992. It was all a pretty big deal to fans moshing and crowd surfing their way through the evening; but, as a rich, herbal smell wafted through parts of the crowd, some of the performers were more excited about something they’d heard was going on here. “We hear they opened all the shops today,� Suicide Silence singer Eddie Hermida said. “We love weed!� Here’s some of what we saw Tuesday, with a larger gallery posted at www.tacomaweekly.com.

By Glen Casebeer Special to Tacoma Weekly

The 23rd annual Old Town Rhythm And Blues Festival is set for Saturday, July 12 at Old Town Park in Tacoma’s historic Old Town District. The event starts at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast inside Slavonian Hall with music kicking off at noon. It’s free to the public, and you can bring the kids or grandkids to this one. Later in the day, the party will move indoors for the main event inside Slavonian Hall and The Spar Tavern. That portion of the event is 21 and older. This year’s festival benefits the Permission to Start Dreaming Foundation, a nonprofit with a mission is to raise awareness and funds to support programs that enrich the lives of soldiers and their families in tangible ways. Programs that help these men and women heal emotional wounds and create a new life are indisputably beneficial to the community in general. Festival co-organizer Mike Mitchell said, “this year is especially important for me on a personal BEGIN AGAIN (104 MIN, R) Fri 7/11: 1:50, 4:10, 6:40, 9:00 Sat 7/12-Sun 7/13: 11:30am, 1:50, 4:10, 6:40, 9:00 Mon 7/14-Wed 7/16: 1:50, 4:10, 6:40, 9:00 Thu 7/17: 1:50, 4:10, 9:00

level because we have brought PTSD, (Permission To Start Dreaming) foundation aboard as the beneficiary of the fund raising efforts.” Mitchell explained that he came home from his tour of duty in Vietnam 45 years ago and music was, and still is, a huge coping mechanism for him. Mitchell continues, “We needed a new beneficiary and they were the perfect fit.” One of the acts on the free stage in the park will be perennial Tacoma favorite, Little Bill & The Blue Notes, who’ll be making their 23rd straight appearance at the festival. “It’s one of my very favorite events that I get to do. I have so many friends that come out and see us and I get to see so many familiar faces,” states the leader of Blue Notes, Bill Englehart. He also says one of his fondest memories was when he spotted the late singer of The Wailers, Kent Morrill in the crowd and silently urged him up on stage to join The Blue Notes for a number. “I had to do it silently though, because I didn’t want to embarrass him” reflected

the Tacoma legend. On a somber note, this will be the first year without the man who started the festival more than two decades ago. Long-time blues supporter and music store owner Ted Brown passed away from a heart attack in 2013 but through events like this his legacy lives on. There will be a plaque with his name on it placed near the stage location in the park. The plaque was sponsored by the Old Town Business Association.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) You usually can jump back and forth from one issue to the next. You may also say one thing one minute and then say the opposite the next. This week others will call you on it so think first before speaking or forming your opinion. Confusion can be like rust.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Have you been finding yourself playing the “victim?” You are the one responsible for your feelings and have the power to change them. Be honest with yourself and remember that it’s okay to be confrontational when you have integrity and self-love on your side.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Time to open the channels of communication and let it flow. Realize that the subtle tension in the air is to remind you of those that have caused you pain or irritation. Be the bigger person by treating them with love instead of malice. Let go of your frustrations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Deal with tensions right away so they don’t fester. Be in the moment while the moment is there. Clear up any sticky situations quickly and calmly. Some people may not understand your point of view unless you communicate very openly and clearly. Face the present or fear the future.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Stop being an enabler with someone you care about. You can do more harm than good by not being honest with them and yourself. The more we lie the more we can hurt, even if it’s a “white lie.” Be open and honest with your thoughts and feelings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Have you been hiding behind a barrier blocking those around you? Stop playing those games that get you nowhere. True courage comes from having the ability to say what really needs to be said at the proper time. Sugar coated lies do no one any good. Be true to yourself.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Don’t sabotage yourself with overindulgence to feed your self-worth. Remember the old saying: Eat to Live, Not Live to Eat! Use this as your mantra as you develop a healthier lifestyle. Give your body the respect it deserves. Lead others by example.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Stop absorbing the stress from others and focus on your own true feelings. Make a clear distinction between your feelings and those of others’. People aren’t mind readers so be clear with your communications. Sometimes people just don’t get it. Ask for help from others when needed.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Contributing to unhealthy lies to maintain the status quo doesn’t do anybody any good. Be honest with yourself and bring up issues or speak your mind when appropriate. Don’t sacrifice your peace of mind to avoid rocking the boat. Your opinion matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Focus on your heart, as it needs your attention. You may have been feeling negative these past few months and others may be taking notice of this. Getting your point across in a more gentler and informative way will get you farther. Value others’ opinions that differ from your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) This may be an intense week on the family front. A loved one or partner may confront you as a result of an ongoing situation. Don’t underestimate or invalidate their emotions. Stand up to issues yet be realistic of the outcome. Compromise is at hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Family tensions are high this week. You may feel like you have been double crossed by a loved one. Your words may be used against you in an argument. Clear up the situation by hearing all sides and communicate your feelings or opinion in a calm, clear manner. Hold your temper.

This brown boy has been described by his past owner as very loyal and playful. He has also has positive interactions in the past with other dogs, as well as cats. It can be said that Reesie is an independent pup. He loves to sit and your feet for head pats, but is also okay spending time on his own. If you work regular hours during the day, Reesie doesn’t mind being at home and holding down the fort. Due to his age, Reesie would do best in a home with adults and older children. Don’t miss your chance to take this sweet boy home today! Reference #A486902
