PETS ARE THE RESCUERS AT

TEN THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT THE EAST SIDE

TRUE LOVE. The

Dugan Foundation and Pawsitive Alliance have partnered this year to hold Woofstock to raise awareness about pet ownership and animal rescue operations. By Steve Dunkelberger Stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

oofstock is looking to shift the way people think about pets, especially “rescued pets.” Dogs and cats and rabbits and horses that find new homes through animal shelters aren’t just rescued, but also serve as rescuers by bringing joy, lowering stress and providing senses of purpose and love to their owners. “We really have to change the lens on it,” said Dugan Foundation Executive Director Julie Dugan.

here is no better place to begin the 10-stop love tour of Tacoma’s East Side than Antojo’s, and no better guide than Tacoma City Councilman Marty Campbell. “What?” I hear fans of Fergie’s and other long-time restaurants demanding. “Does perseverance not count? Does history mean nothing? Why pick a new joint?” Of course long-term investment, often against the odds of declining safety, increasing poverty and changing demographics, matters. Those establishments anchored the proud working-class neighborhoods as gangs and drugs battered them. That Tacoma tenacity earned enduring loyalty to businesses, families, even institutions from police to schools to the Tacoma Housing Authority. And it made that element of the East Side the first thing we love.

inmates left McNeil Island Correctional Center in 2011, the island’s future has been under debate and review.

Meanwhile, Antojo’s is evidence of a new economic energy that’s drawing in customers from beyond the border of Pacific Avenue. Campbell loves the authentic Mexican food and the ambiance that can put Tacoma Power linemen next to a mariachi band waiting in line to order the enchimal special. Success in that section of the little strip mall at East 38th Street and McKinley Avenue has led to the redevelopment of the other two into a slick retro burger joint, with a coffee bar, frozen yogurt and TVs that got a workout during the World Cup. Just down McKinley Avenue, Top of Tacoma continues to draw a hipper clientele to an energized eveninginto-night life.

”We’re starting to see the economic stability for businesses to not just survive, but thrive,” Campbell said. That’s happening even in the most unlikely places – old schools and, with the right buyer, a police station. When Tacoma Public Schools sold the decommissioned Rogers Elementary School to a church that intended to use it for homeless services, the neighbors objected. They and the church resorted to civil dis-

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

Puyallup and McKinley 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.

Bulletin Board TACOMA RESIDENTS INVITED TO ATTEND VISIONING EVENT Featuring a youth summit and a kids’ play area – because you’re never too young to get involved and be engaged in the civic process – “Tacoma 2025â€? is a community visioning event for anyone and everyone interested in sharing their ideas for how Tacoma could grow over the next decade.

Public input has been pivotal to the “Tacoma 2025â€? strategic planning process, and the information gathered throughout the “Tacoma 2025â€? strategic planning process will result in a citywide strategic plan which will outline steps to achieve a shared community vision for Tacoma’s future. It will also help inform decision making regarding the City’s resource allocations to ensure that funding is available to actualize community priorities identified in the plan. The “Tacoma 2025â€? Plan will focus on seven key areas: ¡ Public health and safety ¡ Quality of life and livability ¡ Economic vibrancy ¡ Culture, arts and recreation ¡ Educational opportunity and attainment ¡ Government performance ¡ Infrastructure, mobility and environmental sustainability In addition to the upcoming visioning workshop on July 30, the City has also provided other opportunities for the community to get involved in the “Tacoma 2025â€? strategic planning process: ¡ An online community forum at tacoma2025.com where visitors can comment on key topics and respond to other community members’ ideas ¡ Informational booths at a variety of community events this summer, including the South Tacoma and Proctor Farmers Markets and Ethnic Fest ¡ Information and opportunities to provide feedback at local libraries and at the Customer Support Center in the Tacoma Municipal Building (747 Market St., 2nd Floor)

>05+,94,9, 796=0+,: /6<:05. -69 < : 67,5 =0:0;69: Windermere Professional Partners Property Management (WPPPM) proudly announces the launch of ChambersBayHousing.com. Since the USGA announced Chambers Bay as the site of the 2015 US Open Golf Championship, the University Place community has been buzzing about opportunities available for homeowners near the course to make their houses available for rent to visitors, media, sponsors and perhaps even players. Until now, a uniform, consistent source of options and information did not exist. ChambersBayHousing.com changes that. Initially, only homes located within five miles of Chambers Bay will be featured on the site. Regarding the nearby radius requirements, Windermere Real Estate Agent Steve Sloboda said, “The majority of people attending events like the US Open prefer accommodations located near the course. They want easy access to the venue and they don’t want to deal with potential traffic issues.� Sloboda went on to say, “When someone visits ChambersBayHousing.com to look for a place to stay they will know only homes close to the course will be listed. Because of that, homes featured on our site will be more likely to actually get rented for the event.� Because WPPPM is a full service property management firm, homeowners that list their homes on ChambersBayHousing.com can expect advice on determining a reasonable rental rate; access to professional photographers and concierge services; checklists on how to prepare for tenants; renter screening; collection and distribution of monies including rental and security deposits; house cleaning services upon completion of the rental term and more. (WPPPM and ChambersBayHousing.com are not affiliated with the USGA or Chambers Bay Golf Course in any way.) For more information or to have specific questions answered, please contact Steve Sloboda at (253) 988-3120 or Mark Mellsness at (253) 830-5160.

UTILITY CUSTOMES TARGETED BY SCAMMERS Scam calls to Tacoma Public Utilities customers have increased in the past couple of weeks, and the utility wants to help ensure no one loses money. Scammers have mainly targeted commercial customers, demanding they make an immediate payment with a prepaid card or risk having their service disconnected. Customers are often directed to purchase a Green Dot or Money Pak card. “We may offer customers the

option of paying with a credit card, but we never say they must make an immediate payment with a prepaid card or we will disconnect their services.� said Steve Hatcher, the customer services manager. Customers have been asked to call (800) 791-0206 – a number not associated with the utility – to provide prepaid card information. If a customer falls for the scam, it is likely he or she will never get their money back.

If you think someone is trying to scam you, check your account status at MyTPU.org/MyAccount or contact Tacoma Public Utilities. It is never necessary to buy a separate prepaid card to avoid disconnection. Never give your credit or debit card number or any other personal information to anyone without knowing their true identity. Remember that scammers can make it look like they’re calling or emailing from the utility when they are

calling from somewhere else. Report prepaid card scammers to the utility and to the Federal Trade Commission online or by calling 1(877) FTC-HELP. You should also report scammers to MoneyPak at www.moneypak.com. Click on MoneyPak Help on the home page and then on the “What if I’m aware of a possible scam?� link. More information about utility scams is available at MyTPU. org/Scams.

COLLABORATE OR PERISH, COOPERATE AND FLOURISH By Paul Pastor Pierce County Sheriff

In 2008 with the change in County charter, the position of sheriff became an elected office in Pierce County. I am convinced that there is real wisdom in hav- PAUL PASTOR ing the people elect the sheriff to represent the peoples’ interests in terms of safety and security and to protect rights. But that advantage of independence needs to be tempered with a willingness to work with others for the common good: a willingness to collaborate with the public and with other organizations. While I am independent, I know that I need to collaborate and cooperate with other people and other agencies to get things accomplished. Collaboration and cooperation are essential to move the public’s business forward and to improve community safety. When things don’t get done in the public sector, it is often due to an unwillingness to work together. Too often, people in positions of responsibility would rather posture than solve problems. They would rather make noise than make progress. This is not unique to one group or ideology. We see this on the national level and the results are not good. “Collaborate or Perish� is the title of a book recently written by William Bratton, the commissioner of NYPD under Mayor Rudy Guilianni and the new commissioner under Mayor Bill DeBlasio. Bratton’s book describes how, in law enforcement and other government services, cooperation and collaboration are essential to moving things forward. Just consider some of our greatest public safety accomplishments here in Pierce County and the role that collaboration has played. The Sheriff’s Department’s collaboration with the public and the legislature and other agencies resulted in this County overcoming

the terrible “methademic� of the late ‘90’s and early 2000’s. Our success in this area is regarded as a national model. The Child Advocacy Center at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital is built on a foundation of collaboration and cooperation between law enforcement, doctors, nurses, social workers, and MultiCare. This, too, is regarded as a national model. Today, there is substantially less gang violence in Pierce County than in King County because of collaboration and communication and cooperation between agencies. Finally, the recent funding initiative to establish a new 911 and emergency radio system is a major example of cooperation between local and county government and between law enforcement and fire/emergency medical services. We are well on our way to completing a system which is highly integrated, more effective and safer for the public and first responders. I believe that we should work to further improve cooperation and collaboration in order to enhance public safety and achieve greater efficiencies. This is especially true as we emerge from the recession. Law enforcement (and for that matter government in general) needs to look for ways to combine resources and to de-silo and to reduce duplication. We can’t be as efficient and effective as we need to be if we stay in our own cocoons. When we have achieved major successes, we did so by working together not by going it alone. Let’s consider other challenges we currently face. Let’s consider what we can and need to do. Several challenges come to mind. The first is the jail. I believe that a safe, secure, accessible and constitutional jail is essential to community safety and an effective justice system. It is time for the County and cities to recognize that we need to work together in the wider public interest and stop seeking

to push the advantage of one jurisdiction at the expense of another. This is why I have strongly advocated for consolidating jail services and returning to a workable contracting model, which is mutually beneficial and equitable to all involved. Failure to do this not only wastes public resources but also undermines criminal justice processing. It wastes the time of police officers and prosecutors and judges. In this and other areas, Pierce County needs to work in collaboration with cities to promote the wise and effective use of jail services and cities need to work closely and cooperatively with Pierce County. I am meeting regularly with city police chiefs in order to accomplish this. Over the next several years, the population of Pierce County will likely grow to over one million people. For the criminal justice system to serve this population, it will need to grow. For this to happen properly, we need to find better ways to build collaboration and consolidation between jurisdictions and between individual agencies. We need to reduce duplication and redundancy. We need solutions that forego narrow, short-term advantage. We need to focus on effectiveness and efficiency in the long term for the interests of everyone in the County. In the Sheriff’s Department, we are already using technology, data analysis as well as re-organization toward this end. I believe that it is the role of the independently elected sheriff to look beyond narrow interests and agendas. It is the role of the sheriff to consider the big-picture interests of all the citizens of Pierce County in the area of safety and justice. By increasing collaboration and cooperation and by combining efforts and resources, law enforcement, the jail and the entire justice system can evolve to become stronger, more effective, more just, and also more efficient.

One criminal on July 14 decided not to heed this advice, and was immediately stopped by an officer literally pulling out of the police station to start his patrol. The man, surprisingly, was not intoxicated, but instead rushing home from work to speak to his friends in Korea via Skype. The driver was arrested for reckless driving and booked into Fife Jail, where he admitted it probably wasn’t wise to drive past the police department at highway speeds. Another speedster daredevil was caught going 52 in a 30 at McKinley and 66th Avenue on July 14. The officer who performed the stop immediately smelled intoxicants on the driver. The man said he had been speeding due to an altercation at a local Chevron, and had to get out of there because of all the heat on him. Though much like an elementary school friend who claimed to have kissed a girl, he was mysteriously vague about the details and didn’t want to talk about it. After calling the Chevron station and confirming there was no fight, the officer determined, due to the amount of dust on his clothes, that the man’s scrapes were probably due to a fall. After several failed field sobriety tests, the man was arrested for drunk driving and booked to Fife Jail. Compiled by Derek Shuck

uyallup Tribal Health Authority staff assembled in the Spirit House on July 11 to enjoy a tasty lunch prepared by chefs at the EQC, the vendor for the event, and warmly welcome four new residents to PTHA’s innovative residency program, the first family medicine residency in the nation with a Native American focus. Sunil Bhat, Kira Bendixen, Brooke Parker and Jesse Klebba each expressed much excitement in starting their first year in this threeyear program, as they were introduced to the assembled crowd with applause and hugs. These four new residents bring the total number of residents to 10 in the Puyallup Takopid Family Medicine residency program. “We give thanks for everyone being here today,� said PTHA Executive Director Chris Henry. “It’s an exciting day and time for our whole community. We’ve really been blessed with residents that have come to us with beautiful spirits and hearts for our people.� She thanked the elders that came to welcome the new residents. “We appreciate having you here and helping the program to succeed.� The PTHA staff as well deserved special mention. “I really want to acknowledge all of our staff,� Henry said. “Everyone brings their own gift to the table and we’re really lucky at PTHA that we have a staff that’s just incredible. You’re all a part of this residency program and its success.� Clinical Director Dr. Alan Shelton voiced similar thoughts. “One of the blessings of this program is the wonderful people who have been brought to us and the support that our community has given them, our patients and the staff. It’s been a wonderful thing.� The welcoming ceremony began with drumming and singing by the Sweat Lodge Singers – Ray McCloud and his son Clinton McCloud, Merrilee Satiacum, Albert Combs and David Bean – then tribal elder Jane Wright spoke from the heart in a sincere opening prayer for the residents, the Tribe and the clinic, as she has done each year going back to the arrival of the first residents. “Dear Lord we thank you for what you have done for us and our clinic. It’s really nice of you, Lord, that you have sent these young men and women to work with our people. We’re so happy to have them come, and I know they are happy to be here with us. Our clinic has helped so many people, so many elders, so many children.�

Councilmember/PTHA Board Member David Bean (right) helped welcome PTHA’s new residents Sunil Bhat (next to Chris Henry), Kira Bendixen, Brooke Parker and Jesse Klebba.

Wright told of a visit she received from one of the residents when she was in the hospital recently and what a joy it was for her during this time when a kind face and healing touch were good medicine for this beloved tribal elder. “I thought that was real nice that he was there for visits and I was able to talk with him.â€? In her opening remarks, Henry asked for a moment of silence for recently passed Puyallup Tribal Council Chairman Herman Dillon Sr. “I know that he’s touched the lives of our residents. They’ve been a part of his life and he will always be with you,â€? she said. Both Henry and Shelton marveled over the great success of the residency program. Henry described the program as “the perfect example of a dream come true. I really feel like it’s been a gift to us from our creator because everything has just fallen in place.â€? Shelton told the residents that there is a reason they are here with the Puyallups. “You’re part of something big. For years it’s been very difficult to find physicians willing to work in Indian communities, so part of our vision is to train young physicians who will‌recognize the value of working in an Indian community and how special it is. The second part of that vision is that we’re not just training physicians; we’re training healers. How we do that is by integrating a spiritual aspect. That’s why our vision is big and, like Chris says, it seems

like the Creator is blessing us to make this happen.â€? Tribal Councilmember David Bean, who was at the event representing the PTHA board of directors, spoke of the exciting day and welcomed the new residents. “The first residents who came through here, they set the bar pretty high and I say that in a loving way because, besides the work they do here at the clinic, they’ve actually gotten involved in the community and that means so much to us.â€? Bean noted that members of Congress and President Obama are aware of the work they’re doing, referring to the president’s mention of PTHA during his speech at the 2013 Tribal Nations Conference. 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€? Bean, who often travels to Washington, D.C. on tribal business, said, “Every chance I get I let them know about this beautiful program and the team we have here at the Health Authority.â€?

Before the new residents were introduced, Residency Director Dr. Julie Merriam presented certificates to the program’s first residents, Dr. Brian Nelson and Dr. Aaron Rhyner, who will complete their residencies next year, and to second-year residents Dr. Christina Wong, Dr. Justin Medlock, Dr. Isaac Brauner and Dr. Austin Shelton, who will end their residencies in 2016. “I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to be here,� Austin Shelton said. “It’s medicine for us to come here,� said Medlock. “It’s so invigorating and good for our souls to be here in this clinic family.� Then the new residents were introduced to much applause. Each was gifted with a new, high-quality stethoscope handbeaded in a beautiful tribal pattern. Each new resident introduced his or her family members that came to the ceremony and afterward the assembled crowd was invited to come forward to personally welcome the new residents with handshakes and an embrace. After lunch, there was a giveaway of canned sockeye salmon. “In osteopathy, which is the medicine we practice, we’re always trained to look for the health in the disease,� said Bhat. “When I come here to this clinic, I can’t help but see the light within the darkness. I know your people and your culture have been exposed to so much darkness, but I feel the light and it’s such a blessing to be here and help.�

Thumbtack.com, in partnership with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, released new data on July 21 showing that Tacoma’s small business owners see room for improvement in their local government. More than 12,000 entrepreneurs nationwide participated in this year’s survey. The Thumbtack.com Small Business Friendliness Survey is the largest survey of its kind and is the only survey to obtain data from an extensive, nationwide sample of small business owners themselves to determine the most business-friendly locations. While there are various “business climate rankings� that rate locations as good or bad for business, there are no others that draw upon considerable data from small business owners themselves. This year the team was able to rate 82 cities and most states across multiple metrics that business owners say are critical to a friendly business environment. “After a two-month survey of thousands of small business owners nation-

wide, Tacoma wins praise from its business owners for the ease of obtaining health care,� said Jon Lieber, chief economist of Thumbtack.com. “Creating a business climate that is welcoming to small, dynamic businesses is more important than ever, and Tacoma has at least part of that formula down.� Some of the key findings for Tacoma – and Washington generally – include: Tacoma earned a grade of C for its overall friendliness to small business. Tacoma small business owners rated the city third for ease of obtaining health insurance and were the third most prepared for implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Small business owners also were happy with their experience using the Internet to comply with government regulations, with the city finishing in the top 10 on that metric. Tacoma received a C- for overall regulatory friendliness, including a C grade for its zoning laws.

island, to opening the island up for port uses connected to shipping operations, to a regional airport, to law enforcement training and investigational uses to even housing assistance for lowincome individuals and families. Reopening the prison would cost about $80 million. “That is really not an option at this point,� said Office of Financial Management Legal Liaison John Lane. The “path of least resistance� option is for the state

to simply buy the land currently home to the abandoned prison. An appraisal is in the works. A purchase of the land would allow the state to avoid federal oversight concerning a lease. “That seems to be the way forward at this point,� said Lane. The island’s prison buildings were put on the Washington Trust’s annual Most Endangered Historic Properties List in 2011 to raise concern for their fate as well as prompt discussions about “prison tours� much like those offered at the more

famous island prison Alcatraz. But that option isn’t likely with the sex offender center still on the island and the lack of tourism appeal. McNeil Island Corrections Center, however, had the distinction of being the only prison in the United States that started out as a territorial prison, then became a federal penitentiary and finally became a state corrections center. It was also the last prison in North America located on an island accessible only by boat. Part of all of these discussions about what happens to the island is the role of local Native American tribes, namely the Puyallups, Squaxin and Fox Island

The Best of

Sixteen percent of small businesses in Tacoma said they were “very prepared� for implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the highest percentage in the country. The top rated cities overall were Colorado Springs, Boise, Houston, Austin and Louisville. The lowest rated were Sacramento, Providence, Buffalo, Bridgeport and San Diego. “It is critical to the economic health of every city and state to create an entrepreneur-friendly environment,� said Dane Stangler, vice president of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation. “Policymakers put themselves in the best position to encourage sustainable growth and long-term prosperity by listening to the voices of small business owners themselves.� The full survey results can be seen at www.thumbtack.com/wa/tacoma and includes full sets of rankings for cities and states going back three years, along with dozens of easily searchable quotes from Tacoma small businesses. Tribes, which continue to have cultural and fishing interests in McNeil Island. Public access is also a matter of discussions since Department of Social and Health Services has continued to operate the Special Commitment Center on the island to house and treat sex offenders who have been civilly committed on the grounds that they are likely to reoffend if released, even after they’ve served out their prison sentences. But the Department of Corrections hasn’t housed inmates in the prison facility on the banks of the 4,400-acre island, only shuttling in inmate work crews to fight the passage of time with repairs and maintenance work to the prison facility that once housed 1,400 inmates. Their workload grows faster than repairs can be made, however, meaning the state is out of compliance with one of two existing deeds between

SURVEY METHODOLOGY Thumbtack.com surveyed 12,632 small businesses across the United States. The survey asked questions about the friendliness of states towards small business and about small business finances, such as: “In general, how would you rate your state’s support of small business owners?� “Would you discourage or encourage someone from starting a new business in your state?� and “Do you think you pay your fair share of taxes?� Thumbtack.com and the Kauffman Foundation evaluated states and cities against one another along multiple metrics. The full methodology paper can be found at www.thumbtack.com/ survey/2014/methods.pdf.

the federal government and the state. So the island’s prison facilities just sit and wait for a decision. And any decision could involve dollars, lots and lots and lots of dollars. The federal government operated a prison on the island from 1875 until 1981. Washington then began leasing part of the island for use as a state prison. The federal government leased the prison property on the condition that the state use and maintain the island for corrections and wildlife conservation. Conservation uses covers about three quarters of the island. While DOC operated the prison, DSHS opened the sex offender treatment facility to piggyback on the prison’s utility and infrastructure systems. The prison closure stopped most of the maintenance on the island since the sex offender treatment

Prison facilities were largely abandoned, raising concerns with officials at the federal General Services Administration since before the inmates left. “In addition to finding the property out of compliance with the use requirement in the deed transferring the property to the state, GSA found noncompliance with the maintenance requirement in the correctional deed resulting in degradation and loss in value of certain improvements on the property,� the state report concluded. “For the state to continue to own the property designated for correctional use, the state may (1) apply for use under another public benefit conveyance or combination of conveyances authorized under federal law, (2) purchase part or the entire correctional portion of the island at fair market value, or (3) obtain special legislation from the U.S. Congress directing GSA to a specific result.� Recommendations for McNeil’s future are scheduled to be part of the next legislative session to resolve the compliance concerns as well as address future degradation.

;LHJOPUN 7LHJL! Reflections from ‘Shrek the Musical’ By Laura Finley I have long believed that good teaching is a lot like acting. This summer, I have had the chance to reflect more deeply about those connections, having had the wonderful opportunity to participate in my local children’s theater’s (Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theater) production of “Shrek the Musical,� alongside my 10-year-old daughter. Here I share some of my observations about how communitybased theater in general and “Shrek the Musical,� specifically, are wonderful reminders of what peace education should look like. First, the collaborative environment of community-based theater provides a beautiful model for the classroom. Rather than power over others, power is shared equally between all participants. All are valued because the production is only as good as everyone doing their part to the best of their ability. And, instead of just the leaders helping people who need it, fellow participants also take ownership for providing assistance. I have seen children helping adult cast members learn choreography while

teens help one another rehearse lines. In an ideal classroom, more should operate on this peer-to-peer model so that less has to go through or receive the approval of the teacher. Second, being involved in something different than our normal area of expertise can help students see educators’ vulnerability. Too often, we present ourselves as sages in the classroom, and students typically expect us to be that. But real learning only happens when we let down our guards a bit, when we embrace the emotions that occur at the margins of our comfort levels. Participating in classroom discussions about hotly contested issues related to war, peace, violence and nonviolence can be challenging for many students. Perhaps this is made easier when educators also share their vulnerabilities, their emotional responses and their willingness to try on new things or ideas. Third, like a good performance, education should be creative. While we have a script for the show, some of the best scenes are when actors improvise in funny dialogue with one another. Similarly, while educators should have a

general plan, they should also be willing to go off-script and allow interesting things to emerge. Just as theater uses dialogue, music, lighting, costumes and many other tools to create a powerful and engaging experience, peace educators should be mindful of using multiple teaching methods that can resonate with persons of varying learning styles. Fourth, and specific to “Shrek the Musical,� there are the important messages of acceptance, inclusion and daring efforts to challenge violence that are key concepts for peace educators. Shrek and the other characters learn to let their “freak flags� fly and to work together to courageously topple the abusive regime of Lord Farquaad. To create peace will also require all types of people, with all of their wackiness and weirdness, all equally committed to building a better world. This summer, I am waving my freak flag. When the fall semester begins, I shall do it again. Laura Finley, Ph.D., teaches in the Barry University Department of Sociology & Criminology and is syndicated by PeaceVoice.

:9 5,,+: ;9(5:769;(;065 7(*2(., 56> To truly be for the completion of SR-167, you must support how it is funded too

By The SR-167 Completion Coalition There has been a steady drumbeat from many groups in our state including business, labor, the ports, tribes and local governments to pass a transportation revenue, investment and reform package. That drumbeat has carried on through two regular sessions, two special sessions, numerous hearings and many “listening sessions.� Despite all of that effort, we still do not have a transportation package. In our part of the state, the completion of State Routes-167 and 509 could prove to be an absolute game changer for not just our local economy, but the entire state’s. Unfortunately, inaction by the state legislature does not simply mean a loss of economic opportunity; it also means the possibility of economic regression as companies look for opportunities outside of the state of Washington to do business. The completion of SR-167 alone is projected to create 948 direct jobs per year of construction and the potential for 80,000 permanent jobs statewide once complete, reductions in air emissions due to congestion relief, and the increased capacity for the

movement of freight to keep our ports competitive in the world market. This should be enough to warrant action, yet some of our Olympia lawmakers are satisfied with doing nothing. This dynamic cannot continue. At this point we have heard a lot from both sides of the issue. Reasons for still not having a bill have been blamed on a lack of political will, political posturing, the upcoming election, education funding, and the list goes on. In reality, most legislators are for the completion of SR-167 and projects like it. What we face for the most part is a complete shortage of key leaders who will come out and support the way it must be funded. Being for a project, but against the way we must pay for it, is irresponsible, misleading and not a supportive position; instead it amounts to a statement against the project since under that scenario it will never get built. We need to ask every state legislative candidate if he or she is prepared to vote for a transportation package and its funding source to reduce congestion, create thousands of jobs and keep our ports competitive with the rest of the world. Lawmakers may have reasonable differences of opinion in

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, In the July 4 issue of the Tacoma Weekly I noted another Chris Britt editorial cartoon, this time demeaning the Supreme Court’s decision pertaining to Hobby Lobby. It was his usual fare, mischaracterization in order to mislead and obscure the real issue. In reality, I suspect Mr. Britt has little real concern for women’s rights. The issue of women’s rights is simply a straw man argument or smokescreen used by himself, dissenting members of SCOTUS, and many others, (primarily Democrats) to hide behind. The real target is religious freedom. He and they are troubled that people of religious persuasion might dare to follow the dictates

terms of what should be in a package, but at a minimum we need our leaders to at least publically acknowledge the need for some sort of revenue package in order to see SR-167 be completed. That is why we would urge every candidate to both attend the candidate forum being sponsored by the SR-167 Completion Coalition on July 29 and to return your candidate questionnaire. It is time for the voters in Washington to understand exactly where you stand on a transportation package. We need to get to yes on a bipartisan basis and replace inaction with investment, jobs, improved safety, freight mobility and congestion relief. We need to do it now, without excuses.

of their conscience rather than cower to the demands of the government. It also seemed somewhat ironic to me that as we celebrated the 4th of July, Mr. Britt launches an attack against one of the primary sources of energy that drove and propelled the American Declaration of Independence, i.e., the very event we were celebrating. And, that source of energy was a passion for religious freedom. All one need do is examine the origins of the original 13 colonies to recognize the seeds of our very beginning were provided primarily by those seeking freedom from religious persecution in the countries of their origin. The freedom to practice one’s religion and follow the dictates of conscience represent a core principle undergirding our country’s founding. It appears Mr. Britt and

Jesus opined in the Gospel of Luke that “for unto whomsoever much is given, much is required.� That idea has been shorted through the years by Voltaire, Franklin D. Roosevelt and then Spiderman creator Stan Lee to be simply, “With great power comes great responsibility.� Whatever the version, the adage is true when it comes to animal ownership. Pets provide their human companions with friendship, companionship, home security, entertainment and comfort that has proven to ease stress and lower depression with belly-scratching sessions on living room chairs and ritualistic walks to fire hydrants and trees. But what often gets lost in those benefits is the deeper thought that these pets are living animals and not just tools to be used and discarded like they were drain cleaners or kitchen sponges. The duties of feeding, walking, medicating and otherwise tending to household pets often lasts years and comes with a financial commitment. That time and money is well spent for many animal lovers, but gets to be too much for far too many as well. That means these one-time “family members� are either abandoned to the neighborhood or find their way to shelters. The Humane Society of Tacoma-Pierce County shelters more than 12,000 animals every year, while other area shelters and animal rescue efforts handle yet more. Thousands of once-household pets also find themselves outliving their usefulness and are simply discarded to new lives in streets and back alleys until they are either hit by cars or killed by raccoons or carnivorous birds. Yet other pets are neglected or abused by the very people they once allowed into their den. Such was the case of how the local Humane Society came to be. A logger had captured a bear in 1888 and made his way to Eighth Street and Pacific Avenue in hopes of earning a few coins from the passersby by getting the bear to do tricks. It didn’t work out so well. He kicked and beat the bear. Tacomans of the day were rough and tumble but they were still against the sight of a man beating a scared animal, even a bear. The logger found himself under arrest. The Tacoma Humane Society formed days later, making it the fourth animal protection society in the nation. The society and other animal rescue efforts now have the challenge of cleaning up a mess of our own making, since spay and neutering of pets can control overpopulation of unwanted animals while proper education about the demands and responsibilities of pet ownership could avoid “bad matches� in the first place. Certainly there are times when good-intentioned people find themselves with the heart-breaking decision of surrendering their pets because of changes in their life situations. Those times, however, are far too few of the rising number of discarded animals. More often animals are just handed over or abandoned because their owners simply no longer wanted them, much like people donate out-of-fashion shirts. It doesn’t have to be that way. Potential pet owners need to learn about the breed, temperament, demands and longevity of their animals before taking them home. Rabbits sure are cute around Easter, but their hutches need to be cleaned for years to come.

associates would like to go Old World and deny us that liberty. Some claim this is an example of religious beliefs being imposed on others. Such a claim is simply nonsense. There’s no imposition of religious belief here. At the core of this issue is simply one thing and that is, does the government have the right to force people to pay for women’s choices in the area of birth control? The truth is, women are still free to make any choice they want and nothing has changed. They have complete freedom to exercise their liberty to do whatever they desire no matter how barbaric in some cases. It is, in fact, a non-crisis, and life will go on just as before. But, the Britts of the world wish to force others to violate the dictates of their conscience by forcing them to pay for

VISIT US ON FACEBOOK FACEBOOK.COM/TACOMAWEEKLY the more drastic measures such as late-term abortions. The bottom line in this whole thing is the desire on the part of today’s liberals and progressives (in particular) to stifle dissent and use raw government power to bully those that disagree with them. We’ve seen more and more of that in the last five years as this administration and Democrats in general continue to ignore the laws in this country and violate the Constitution with immunity. If Mr. Britt had any genuine concern about liberty and freedom, he might focus attention on that area rather than being a part of the problem. But that might require a bit of fairness and honesty, and that is something I suspect is the least of his concerns. Charlene Piercy, Tacoma

W Woofstock From page A1

Hundreds of people all around Washington need to be rescued from their lives through animal companionship. This year’s Woofstock, set for Aug. 2 at University of Puget Sound’s Todd Field, is the place those troubled souls in need can learn about animal friendship and maybe find a dog or cat willing to adopt them. About 200 cats, dogs and bunnies will be reviewing potential human minions to add to their flock. This year’s annual event is a partnership between the Dugan Foundation and Pawsitive Alliance, non-profit animal welfare organizations working towards a no-kill future for Washington. Their trained matchmakers will work between humans and pets to find fits based on lifestyles, needs and personalities. Adoptable animals are all affordable, shelter animals will be spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to take home. Admission is free. Pet-related merchants and vendors will also be on hand to provide services, goods and toys, while fam-

ily-friendly entertainment including music from around the South Sound; dog agility and obedience demonstrations; and activities from Seabury Academy will fill out the schedule. This year’s musical line-up is eclectic and playful, with artists PK Dwyer, Champagne Sunday, The Tenants and Jeff Ross & Jessie Abbott, providing a mix of street busking blues, indie, folk and alternative folk. The headliner is Xolie Morra & the Strange Kind, an alternative singer-songwriter featured on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.� Woofstock 2014 is sponsored by: ARC Document Solutions, Bruce Titus Automotive Group, Calvin’s Place Training & Daycare, City of Tacoma, Champagne Sunday, Heritage Bank, Jonz Catering, Kris Nystrom Design, Maurice the Fish Records, Metro Parks Tacoma, Peninsula Pet Lodge, Pet Pros, Pet Connection Magazine, Pet Smart Charities, PK Dwyer, Positive Approach Training & Daycare, Seabury Academy, The Tenants, Jeff Ross & Jessie Abbott and Ted Brown Music.

course. The church saved the building by putting a roof on it, and dropped what it conceded were good plans in the wrong place. A Bellevue woman has bought Rogers and intends to develop it into a boarding school, specializing in immersion courses in American culture and language for older students. The plan fits the zoning and will bring affluent students to enjoy the view, and spend money in the neighborhood. As metal thieves have stripped most everything of value from the building, the project also will create reconstruction jobs.

4.)

Campbell sees more of that sprouting up along Pacific Avenue if Pierce County demolishes the old Puget Sound Hospital and builds consolidated county offices on the site. It’ll be a huge economic engine, from construction through occupancy, even for the east side of Pacific. “That could be 1,000 living-wage jobs,� he said.

5. )

Should some of the people with those jobs want to live close to work, East Side still has spaces for new homes, and old homes ripe for revival. Young families are buying homes left empty by foreclosure. Developers are building on large tracts and picking up smaller pockets of land. “On the East Side, we have in the neighborhood of 500 new homes,� Campbell noted. “A lot of private developers are seeing the East Side as the place to build. It has spectacular views, access and a great built environment.�

6.)

And, of course, there is the big miracle that is the new Salishan. Tacoma Housing Authority first built the partnerships to cut crime and build a sense of community in the old, worn-out Salishan. Then, when it

won the federal Hope VI funds to redevelop it, it included privately owned homes in the mix. The project attracted a Community Health Care clinic and programs for lowincome families to learn and earn their way to independence. Tacoma Housing Authority invited police to help develop an anti-crime culture backed up by the threat of eviction. Crime rates throughout the East Side have dropped, Campbell said. So has gang tagging. The housing authority partnered with schools and parks to include whole families in recreation and education. It is one of the agencies involved in developing a new community center near Salishan and First Creek Middle School. Metro Parks Tacoma hopes to build a resource equivalent to South Tacoma’s STAR Center, tailored to the East Side.

7. )

Metro Parks has tied some of the development of Swan Creek Park to Salishan with the rebirth of one of Tacoma’s oldest, and most diverse, community gardens. Meanwhile, it’s giving Facebook users the chance to gloat over claims that Seattle has plans for the nation’s first food forest. Let the nyah nyahs begin. Volunteers are already installing Swan Creek’s food forest. It’s not too far from the city’s first mountain bike trail, a regional resource built, in large part by volunteers, including veterans.

Metro Parks solved the problem, and honored stalwart East Siders Ben and Reba Verlo in March, when, in a sensible, sensitive fix, it renamed the playgrounds Verlo Playfield.

9. )

Metro Parks has worked through all the lawyers’ concerns, and figured out how to allow volunteers to do the hard work in spaces it doesn’t have the resources to develop and maintain. It is blueberry season, and the best place to see how that turned is Charlotte’s Blueberry Park, south of East ‘D’ and 72nd streets. The late and missed Charlotte Valbert found the remnants of an old blueberry farm and organized the volunteers who reclaimed and maintain the 10 acres of bushes. Everyone is welcome to pick fruit for free, and one of the beauties of the park is the fact that, since the bushes are so tall, pickers can’t see the people in the next row. But they can hear conversations in all the languages spoken in Tacoma.

10.)

And that brings us to the 10th and ever-fresh thing the East Side offers so generously, and that we love. “We have a strong sense of tradition and history and tremendous diversity,� Campbell said. “It’s a diversity that builds itself by not dividing itself. We have huge diversity, amazing diversity, with so many wonderful stories.�

8. )

Metro Parks has sorted the confusion out of two of its most prominent properties on McKinley Hill. Until March, one was named McKinley Park, the other, McKinley Playfield. For decades, it didn’t matter much, because McKinley Park, stretching down the hill to Interstate 5, was a crime-rich wasteland. Then residents, led by Larry Scheidt and his family, set up Friends of McKinley Park and set about reclaiming it. Its steep trails and meadows are so well used, that occasionally people call for help from first responders. McKinley Playfield is also a busy spot, with its sprayground, playfields and shelters. Callers were confusing the two.

I

’ve always been fascinated by the world of the martial arts. As a kid I often dreamt of becoming a ninja and traipsing off to some mysterious land performing heroic deeds in secret and silence. The skinny, blueeyed boy from Tacoma would someday become a master of the arts; I was hellbent upon the notion. Of course, my abilities never matched my imagination, and like many other children, I had to settle for adventures climbing around the neighborhood trees, often dressed in my best makeshift assassin attire and completing missions that had no bearing in reality. I had a ninja backpack filled with all sorts of broken doodads, which to my mind were actually highly-specialized secret agent tools. On Saturdays “Kung Fu Theater” on old KSTW was akin to a religious experience. If it was raining out, the living room became my dojo. I mimicked the lightning-quick moves of the television warriors and believed, I too, could someday fly through the air like these crazy characters with flowing white beards and vengeance in their blood. When ESPN started airing kickboxing, I was mesmerized at the brutality and speed and later, amazed that my Mother saw no problem with me watching it, but had me turn off MTV whenever she caught wind of it. Spinning heel kick to the head – Good, Cindy Lauper – Bad. Several years later, the Ultimate Fighting Championship video tapes began showing up at places like 5-Star Video and Tower Records, and my friends and I were hooked immediately and forever. It had finally happened. Two men entered; one man left. Full-on, no-holds barred martial arts action. Over the years I have watched countless UFC and Pride Fighting spectacles, but not a once in-person. It was time to rectify this emptiness in my soul. Saturday night, July 19, CageSport 31 returned to the Emerald Queen Casino and nothing was going to keep me away from the action. I picked up my fight-mate Ernest Jasmin, erstwhile Entertainment Editor here at the Tacoma Weekly, and we headed out for what was certainly to be a life-changing experience. When you walk into a showroom and see an octagon cage in the center of the joint, your heart begins to race. I was surprised at how this empty, inanimate object had whipped my blood pressure up a few bars. Like me, this was the first live mixed martial arts (MMA) event for Ernest, and he seemed to be zapped by the moment as well. We made our way around the octagon giving it a good once-over while scoping out where our seats may be. Two spots

The oldest game in town is back, and it is bigger than ever. Now in its 123rdyear, the Pacific Northwest Open is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the United States and considered the crown jewel of Northwest tennis tournaments. Starting on Monday, July 21, and running through Sunday, July 27, the Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club will put a spotlight on some of the best tennis to ever be seen in these parts. With over $22,000 in cash prizes on the line, the tournament attracts tennis players from all over the country and around the world. This year, the men’s singles winner will take home $4,000 and the women’s singles winner will cash-out $2,000. Both are the biggest payouts in PNW Open history. The tournament began in 1891 and has seen a host of top talent over the years. The first American to win Wimbledon, May Sutton Bundy, was the PNW Open singles champion in 1911 and 1912. Former star professional Patrick Galbraith won the singles title three times and in 1966 the legendary Arthur Ashe played an exhibition match and umpired at the tournament. “There are very few tournaments in the world that are this old, so our club takes a lot of pride in hosting this,” said Nick Moxley, head tennis pro and co-director of the PNW Open. “We try to be very player-friendly and make it the best experience, not just for the players, but for all of our members. All of our members volunteer here and give us their time.” For the first time in nearly 20 years, the tournament was briefly interrupted by rain earlier in the week, but sunny skies are in the forecast, and the PNW Open organizers don’t anticipate any problems getting all of the matches in. “Even when we’ve had some rain in the past, we were able to get through the schedule,” said Alice Wilhyde, who handles player registration. On a sad note, one of the most familiar faces and leaders of the PNW Open will not be at the tournament this week. In February, long-time member Georgia Howell passed away. Howell was an integral part of the tournament and the Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club for the past 35 years. Along with her partners Wilhyde and Col-

CLOSE-OUT. South Sound FC left no angles open and Vancouver (left) missed a golden opportunity to take the lead. Scotty Hanson (right) returned to action for the Shock and the midfielder was a force throughout the game.

SOUTH SOUND FC CLOSES OUT WINNING, JUST MISSES CROWN By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

T

he organizers of the inaugural Evergreen Premier League couldn’t have planned a more dramatic end to the soccer season if they had tried. In what will surely spark conversations and rule changes in the league’s future, the championship title wasn’t decided until the second half of the final game of the league season. The Spokane Shadow FC broke a scoreless deadlock at halftime to outgun the visiting Wenatchee Fire FC 3-0 and capture the EPLWA crown by one point in the standings over Tacoma’s South Sound Shock FC. It was not without controversy, and to some there will always be at least a mental asterisk next to the final standings for the 2014 season. With no wiggle-room to spare, the Shock entered the last weekend of play trailing Spokane by one point in the eightteam EPLWA standings. Both clubs had two matches remaining on the schedule and the Shock were going to need some help to get back to the top of the standings and claim the championship trophy. They would need at least one tie or loss by Spokane and would need to claim two victories themselves. There would be just one little catch:

South Sound would have to travel to Bellingham and Vancouver with matches within 43 hours of each other. Meanwhile, Spokane would host two matches against Seattle and Wenatchee. To start things off, South Sound came through with one of their gutsiest performances of the season defeating Bellingham United FC 2-1 in a match that saw goalkeeper J.J. Olson sent off with a red card. The Shock finished the final 20 minutes with defender Max Harvey in goal and just ten players on the field. Team captain Micah Wenzel scored on a penalty kick at the 37th minute in the first half and was shortly followed by another goal from Vincent McCluskey in the 43rd. The victory pushed South Sound temporarily back into first place with a 28-26 advantage over the Shadow. Spokane would face the Seattle Stars on Saturday night. This is where the bit of controversy begins. The Stars team that showed-up for the match with Spokane in this ever-soimportant tilt looked a little thin. The team was so thin in fact, that one of the club’s owners had to suit-up to bring their total to nine players available. Apparently transportation issues left some of their players stranded in Moses Lake and the Stars would go with nine. Their side was

later reduced to eight players following a Stars injury. Spokane took full advantage of the overmatched squad and pounded Seattle 11-0, retaking the lead in the EPLWA standings over the Shock by a 29-28 mark. The news was a difficult pill to swallow for South Sound as they had been upset 2-0 by a full-strength Seattle club just one week prior at home. The loss had allowed Spokane to finally catch the Shock in the standings and South Sound were no longer able to control their own destiny. South Sound was determined to go out a winner on “Championship Sunday� and left Tacoma at 9 a.m. for their date with the Vancouver Victory FC at 2 p.m. Spokane would play Wenatchee, closing out the EPLWA season, at 5 p.m. The Shock and Victory played to a scoreless draw in the first half at McKenzie Field in Vancouver. A tie wasn’t going to help South Sound and the team came out firing in the second half. Just three minutes into the second half Derek Johnson tallied his first goal of the season when he took a long throw-in from Taylor Jackson and punched the ball into the back left of the net. The Shock led 1-0 and the championship dream had been rekindled. Vancouver responded with a strong effort and ramped-up the offensive

pressure, nearly missing several chances and keeping veteran goalkeeper Chris Kintz on his toes. The defense would hold-strong though and the Shock added a second goal in the 82nd minute when Miguel Angeles pounded a shot off the Vancouver goalkeeper and delivered the ricochet just inside the left post. Vancouver never saw another solid chance as the Shock played an excellent game of keep-away for the remaining time. So for a brief moment on “Championship Sunday� South Sound had retaken first place in the EPLWA with a 31-29 lead over Spokane. While eating at a Taco Del Mar on the way back home, the Shock were given the news via Twitter that Spokane’s scoreless halftime deadlock had been broken as they scored three straight goals in short-order. The outdoor regular season may be over for South Sound FC, but the club still has some non-league matches to look forward to. The Shock was selected to represent the state of Washington in the J.F. Kennedy Cup Aug. 9 and 10 in Portland. The tournament is made up of two Oregon clubs, a Canadian squad and South Sound FC. South Sound FC players will also make up the majority of the newly-reformed Tacoma Stars in November when Western Indoor Soccer League play begins.

SPORTSWATCH TACOMA’S VAN GARDEREN CONTINUES TOUR DE FRANCE PUSH

Following the 17th stage of the Tour de France, Tacoma native Tejay Van Garderen is sitting in sixth position, the highest of any United States cyclist. The 21-stage Tour de France concludes on July 27. The 25-year-old is a member of the international BMC Racing Team. This season is proving to be the best yet for Van Garderen who finished second in the Tour of Oman, third in the Volta a Catalunya and sixth at the Tour of the Basque Country. There are 10 events remaining on the 2014 UCI World Tour.

WESTERN WASHINGTON FOOTBALL ALLIANCE GAME OF THE YEAR LOOMS

The Puyallup Nation Kings and the Pierce County Bengals will face off on Saturday, July 26 at Sumner’s Sunset Stadium. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. The Kings (8-0) are ranked number five in the American Football News Today semi-pro national rankings. On July 19 the Kings shutout the Northwest Cardinals 45-0 with Marquise Henry taking the opening kickoff all the way for a touchdown and adding an interception. All-purpose superstar Chris McCutchin strained ligaments in his knee and will be out of action for up to five weeks. The Bengals (7-1) dismantled the Washington Cavaliers 45-7 and are looking for a win in the regular season-ending matchup to ensure a first-round bye in the upcoming WWFA playoffs. The Puget Sound Outlaws (5-3) have also qualified for the playoffs and will host the dangerous Renton Ravens (7-1) July 19 at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood at 5 p.m.

BOJALAD TAPPED AS NEXT PLU MEN’S TENNIS COACH

The next head coach of the Pacific Lutheran men’s tennis team will be David Bojalad, PLU athletic director Laurie Turner announced Monday. Bojalad comes to PLU with more than 10 years of head coaching experience, including an eight-year stint at Whittier College that included coaching responsibilities for both the men’s and women’s tennis teams. His 2012 Whittier team finished the season 25th in NCAA Div. III and ranked 17th in the ITA poll. “We are very excited to have David leading our men’s tennis program,� Turner said. “With his breadth of experience at the Division III level, his familiarity with the Northwest Conference and his recruiting network throughout the region, he will provide instant stability for the program.� Prior to his time at Whittier, Bojalad spent two years as the men’s tennis head coach at Occidental College and one year as an assistant coach at Claremont McKenna. He graduated from Occidental in 1994 after a four-year varsity tennis career and earned his Master’s in Kinesiology/Sports Psychology from San Diego State in 2005. He is a United States Professional Tennis Association Professional. “It’s a great opportunity, a very strong school in a very good conference with a rich tennis history,� Bojalad said. “I’m looking forward to establishing my coaching philosophy and taking the program back to its

former glory.� Bojalad takes over a PLU program that has won 28 conference titles since 1970 but has not claimed the Northwest Conference crown since 2007. The Lutes posted a 5-13 overall record last season with a 4-8 NWC mark after going 11-8 overall and 9-3 in conference play in 2013.

CHENEY AMONG TOP FIVE VEGETARIAN-FRIENDLY TRIPLE-A PARKS

Baseball season is in full swing, and that means it’s time for PETA’s ranking of the Top Five VegetarianFriendly AAA Minor League Ballparks. And there’s good news for Rainiers fans: After missing the cut for the past two years, Cheney Stadium has grabbed the number four spot. “The best way for fans to ensure that they’ll be around to cheer on the Rainiers for many healthy years to come is to step up to the plate now by going vegan,� says PETA Associate Director Ryan Huling. “Every year, we see more and more vegan options offered at stadiums across the country, which proves that baseball fans are, indeed, on the ball.� Rainiers faithful have a powerful lineup of meat-free options to choose from. The concession stands offer Field Roast veggie dogs, a vegetarian taco plate, and a veggie burger. In the major leagues, AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, took top honors, thanks in part to its delicious Field Roast frankfurter and portobello mushroom sandwich. In nearby Seattle, the Mariners’ Safeco Field grabbed the number seven spot.

TACOMA NOMADS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB CELEBRATES 40 YEARS

The Tacoma Rugby Club will celebrate its 40th Anniversary in grand style this summer, in conjunction with its 38th Annual Aroma 7s Rugby Tournament- the longest running 7s tournament on the West Coast. Anniversary events will include a player banquet, a full day tournament and beer garden, rugby lovers brunch, and golf tournament fundraiser over the July 25-27 weekend. The local rugby club was founded by prominent Tacoma Attorney Ed Winskill in 1974, and has gone on to include more than 1,500 players, development of three boys and one girls High School programs, a women’s team, and competition in both the men’s and women’s National Championship series, with the Nomads men’s team playing in the 2000 Final Four Championships. Old Tacoma ruggers from across the globe will be assembling at the Mountaineers Club for the banquet and awards ceremony, with a catered pig roast, video montage, recognitions and fellowship on Friday. Saturday’s tournament at Portland Avenue Playfields will begin at 10am, with the Finals slated for 4pm, and an after-function at the Harmon Tap Room to follow. Sunday’s Brunch will be at the HUB restaurant from 10am to 1pm, followed by the golf tournament at Lipoma Firs Golf Course. Other side events are scheduled throughout the weekend to bring together non-golfers and those too decrepit to play Rugby any more. All old Tacoma Rugby players and supporters are invited to all activities. Go to TacomaRugby.com for details and registration.

W Cagesport From page A10

right next to Tacoma Weekly photographer Rocky Ross beckoned to us and we had found our home for the next three hours. I took out the night’s fight sheet. It was time for us to each make our selections for the ten contests lined-up. Ernest was ready and willing to quickly make his uninformed, gut-feeling choices. Meanwhile, Rocky was saying he didn’t want to do it again. I had beat him soundly at the previous Battle at the Boat 96, and I think the wound was still fresh. Still, Rocky played along when I made it easy on him by reading-off each matchup and he made his picks as he fiddled with his camera equipment. He acted disinterested, but I knew better. He didn’t want another loss hung on him by yours truly at the EQC. The showroom was filling up and it was nearly fight time. For the next three hours my face was frozen in a beaming smile or a look of shock. I must issue a warning. If you are squeamish or have a weak heart, you probably should never go to one of these events. It’s brutal, it’s bloody and it’s absolutely awesome. Up first was Hector Lopez against Alex “Beastman� Eastman. These 135-pounders put on a surprisingly adept battle for three rounds. I was expecting the fighters at the bottom of the under card to be of lesser quality and boy was I wrong. Lopez controlled most of the fight dishing-out some heavy blows to the head and even threw in a cup-check kick for good measure. Eastman got his licks in as well, including a knee to Lopez’s head, but it wasn’t enough as Lopez won on all three judges’ cards. Next up was Trent Tyler and Lonya Champion fighting in the 170-pound class. When Tyler entered the ring, Ernest said he looked like “that guy from Presidents of the United States of America� and wondered if his opponent was going to look like Macklemore. Champion looked nothing like Mack, and was frankly one scary-looking dude. The first round started out intense and ended with a surprise. Champion came out quick and aggressive and Tyler weathered the storm. A couple of minutes later and Champion was tapping-out after Tyler slapped a rear naked choke hold on him. The next two fighters looked like they could be brothers. That’s what Ernest thought anyways. Lupe Hudgens and Paul Deveglio didn’t treat each other like siblings. Deveglio delivered a suplex, several knees and pounded on Hudgens on the ground. It looked like Deveglio was going to win the second round when the timekeeper clapped the ten-second warn-

ing. At that moment, Hudgens sprang into action sneaking a rear naked choke hold on Deveglio, who tapped-out exactly one second before the bell sounded. The EQC crowd was deafening. Now I have a bit of an idea how the Romans felt at the Coliseum for the gladiator fights. I’m pretty sure it was bloodlust. I cannot lie. But then again, oh well, “when in Rome.� It was time for the first of two women’s fights. Emily Corso and Hadley Griffith were going toe-to-toe at the 125-pound class and I was ready for war. As the fight began, Griffith wouldn’t tap gloves with her opponent and I had a sinking feeling that it wasn’t going to go well for her. A few minutes into the fight, Corso had her on the ground and applied the third-straight rear naked choke of the night and the fight was over. It was probably the most disappointing fight of the evening. Remember to shake hands people. Karma is very real. Next up was Puyallup’s Taki Uluilakepa against Ricky Carrillo from Pasco. I was sure the ring announcer was going to butcher Taki’s name, but he did a great job. I think it even surprised Taki. The two 170pounders put on a fantastic back-and-forth affair with Carrillo getting the worst of it by the end of the three rounds. The bloodied Carrillo took the loss, but still had the time to glare at me as he walked out of the octagon. That pretty much scared the crap out of me. Enumclaw was represented next by Jason “Grinder� Gray against Omar Avelar. I had selected Avalar with my pick earlier because he was a veteran with an 8-8 record while this was Gray’s debut fight. I told Ernest that Avelar had eight wins. Ernest responded with “yeah, but he has eight losses, too.� Gray ended up dominating the fight picking up Avelar repeatedly for a variety of slams to the canvas coupled with a constant barrage of knees to the legs and body. It was brutal. Gray took the unanimous decision by a mile. For the seventh fight on the card, it was going to be a Spanaway battle. Bobby McIntyre was making his debut against Woo Johnson in the 155-pound weight class. Johnson dominated McIntyre for most of the first two rounds picking up and slamming his opponent, feeding him a steady diet of head shots and basically treating him like a rag doll. Next thing you knew, McIntyre cut Johnson over the eye with a kick and went on the attack. The newcomer took Johnson to the ground and began pounding on him with shots to the head. The referee had seen enough and stopped the fight. That was a very awesome fight. The second women’s fight was next and I was hoping for a better showing than the first. It was going to be a battle of 115pounders and the EQC was abuzz with

anticipation. Katie Howard was the first into the ring and then the wait began. Her opponent, Amy Montenegro took forever before she passed through the curtains and made her way down the fighter’s ramp. Her theme music was a love song and Ernest and I thought that was pretty odd. Meanwhile, Howard never relinquished the frigid stare in Montenegro’s direction. She probably didn’t care for the wait and she probably didn’t like the song either. For two rounds Howard took care of business and looked to be dominating the fight. Whether on her feet or on the ground, she was on the offensive and Montenegro had difficulty answering. The third round was electric. Both fighters landed strong blows and then the tide turned for Montenegro. She finished the third round on top of Howard delivering a bevy of fists to an increasingly bloodied face. When the bell saved Howard from a further beating I felt that Montenegro was just too late getting back into the fight and probably lost the first two rounds. I was almost dead-on as the judges awarded Howard a split-decision. However, when Howard got up off the mat bloody and limping, it was hard not thinking she took the worst of it. Tacoma was represented in the semimain event with Harrison “Wolverine� Bevens going up against Chris “Bulldog� Sowell in the 155-pound weight class. I was already pulling for the Tacoma kid when I noticed that Sowell resembled a shorter Peyton Manning. Ernest couldn’t see the resemblance, but it was stuck in my brain now and I liked the guy even less because of it. Bevens put on strong showing controlling the flow of the fight from beginning to end. Sowell was beaten, bloodied and

looked to have a broken nose by the time the ring announcer issued the unanimous judges’ ruling for Bevens. We had a good time shouting “Omaha� whenever he was taking a beating, just like Manning in the Super Bowl. I’m sure it made no sense to him, if he could hear anything in-between the shots to the nose, but we were certainly delighted with it. So far we had witnessed nearly a perfect fight card and it was time for the main event. Will “Iron� Noland would take on CJ “Siege� Marsh at the 185-pound class. Noland had a little bit of a crazy look in his eye and I had a feeling that I shouldn’t have gone with Marsh for my pick. Marsh tried to keep his distance in the first round, but Noland was just too long and fast and was on the constant attack. Shortly before the end of the first round Noland connected with a leaping knee to Marsh’s ribs and you could feel 1,500 cringes in the audience. The bell saved Marsh, but Ernest didn’t think he was going to come out for the second round. I thought he might have a little left in the tank and was right. However, 30 seconds later Noland clubbed Marsh, sending him to the canvas and the referee stopped the fight. I’ve had a great deal of fun at many different sporting events these last five months and if CageSport 31 wasn’t the best, it was certainly in my top-three overall. I didn’t even mind getting whipped by both Ernest and Rocky in our fight picks. Ernest chose seven correct fighters followed by Rocky’s six. I brought up the rear with four winners and have never been more delighted in losing. I highly recommend seeing one of these live MMA events - that is, if your nerves, heart and stomach can handle it.

Local Restaurants SOUL BRINGS A BITE OF THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

N

orth Proctor has been getting a little taste of the South since August with the opening of Soul, a restaurant specializing in both Southern and Latin foods, at 2717 N. Proctor st. “When most people in America think ‘Latin’ they think of Mexican food, but our definition includes Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican and Puruvian food,� co-owner Natural Allah said. Soul is trying to be a new breed of Tacoma restaurant, the kind that attracts people from all around the state. “Typically I think everyone looks for good food says, you have to go to Seattle, it’s starting to change, were getting people from Seattle to come here, people coming from Olympia to come here and military personal from McCord, because its food that people from other parts of the country can identify with,� Allah said. Soon, Allah hopes that Soul will be attracting people to more than just Tacoma. Soul is currently in the process of crowd-funding a food truck through popular website Kickstarter, which would take their unique blend of soul all over the state. If all goes to plan, Soul

will have the food truck by the end of the year. Soul’s most famous offering is their southern fried chicken, three crisp fried chicken wings or two thighs with your choice of two sides ; collard greens, tostones, amarillos, fried corn, mac and cheese, red beans and rice, sweet potatoes, yellow rice with beans, French fries, mofongo, Ceaser salad, potato salad or gandules for $14 Like the appetizers, the entrees are also split between southern soul and Latin foods. The Puerto Rican Carnitas Fritas includes pan fried pork sautÊed in onions and garlic with your choice of rice for $14. Soul also offers morning breakfast from both ends of the spectrum. The Pernil or Chorizo Huevos Ranheros offers corn tortillas, eggs, house red salsa and pernil or chorize with cheese grits for $13.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thousands of locals will groove to Jamaican reggae, feel the rumble of Japanese Taiko drums and sample scrumptious dishes from around the globe this weekend, all without leaving Tacoma. Since 1986, Ethnic Fest has celebrated the various cultures and ethnic groups that make up our community, and its 28th annual run will take over Wright Park from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, July 26 and 27. The event is expected to draw 50,000 to 60,000 revelers over the weekend with a full slate of live music and dance on two big stages; puppet shows, games and comic book giveaways in the family friendly Kids Zone; and, of course, some of the tastiest ethnic cuisine from around the region. “Ethnic Fest is the only festival that truly celebrates the diversity that makes this county and city so rich,� said Tacoma Deputy Mayor Victoria Woodards, who will emcee the festival’s main stage on Sunday. Woodards produced Ethnic Fest for 12 years and initially became involved as a member of a team assembled by former Tacoma Mayor and Pierce County Councilman Harold Moss to save the event after it ran into budgeting shortfalls. “I don’t know that ethnic fest would still be celebrating without Victoria carrying the torch for so long,� the festival’s current coordinator Lori Raisch says. “It was in danger of dying, and (Moss’s) office took on a huge com-

mitment to keep it going financially and by giving Victoria the freedom to chair the festival.� “It was important to Harold, it was important to me that we maintained that opportunity for people to get together and learn and share,� Woodards recalls. “(They) get to learn things about different cultures and people get to share their cultures. It really engages the entire community.� This year’s festival will open with a special presentation commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed that landmark piece of legislation into law on July 2, 1964 to end racial segregation in schools, unequal voter registration requirements and other forms of discrimination. Saturday’s presentation has been put together by Tacoma’s Human Rights Commission and will feature a spoken word performance by Tacoma poet laureate Lucas Smiraldo. Among the most familiar faces on stage this weekend will be popular Seattle jazz guitarist Michael Powers (2 p.m. Saturday) and regional reggae star Alex Duncan (6 p.m. Sunday), both veterans of several Ethnic Fests. “It just wouldn’t be Ethnic Fest without them on board,� Raisch says. Among other highlights will be Columbian folk music (Diego Coy Musica Colombiana), dancers from Korea (Northwest Cultural Foundation) and a Sunday afternoon gospel showcase featuring DaNell Dayman, Warrior’s Cry and more. Ethnic Fest also serves as the kickoff for the Click! Outdoor Mobile Movie series, with a screening of animated comedy “The Lego Movie� scheduled for dusk on July 26.

DRIFTER. A driftwood stump on the Tacoma waterfront is the star of Holly Senn’s video “Stump Stasis,” currently on display at Tollbooth Gallery. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

For over a decade now, Tollbooth Gallery has stood as a bulwark and a beacon of art in the midst of Tacoma’s downtown core. Established in 2003 and billed as “the world’s smallest art gallery,” Tollbooth is a street kiosk turned gallery with a rotating show of paper art and video installations that show on a continuous loop 24 hours a day. The current show running on the Tollbooth video screen is Holly Senn’s “Stump Stasis,” a series of images of a large tree stump that drifted ashore along the Tacoma waterfront several years ago. Senn is a Tacoma artist and librarian who recycles the pages of old books to make naturalistic forms like wasp nests and bird nests. She is a well-organized, disciplined artist whose work is ubiquitous in our region. With a deep interest in transitory objects and organic forms, Senn noticed the stump among the drift logs and seaside detritus during her frequent excursions along the waterfront. She began to take pictures of the stump in 2010 and has continued to do so. “Stump Stasis” is comprised of these images of the stump. The 4-minute, 43-second video starts with a brief movie of waves breaking against the stump. Then follows still images accompanied by the sound of waves washing against the shore. The images are compel-

ling. The stump is there in a transitory space between land and sea. Beach logs and other debris come and go. Sometimes there are people, dogs or geese in the picture. Sometimes the tide is in and the stump becomes a little island. Sometimes the tide is out and the stump is high and dry. On clear, dry days the stump is a pale gray. At other times it has a golden glow. One is reminded of Claude Monet’s series of impressionistic paintings of haystacks shown in various light and atmospheric conditions. Senn’s video is eye-opening and refreshing. It is vital to have someone remind us to pay attention to the visual splendor and the drama that is always around us. Standing there near the corner of Broadway and S. 11th St., I watched Senn’s video and thought about the improbable journey of this stump of an old tree. Where had that tree been rooted? How many decades had it been in that place? How did it come to be adrift? It came ashore in Tacoma and has joined the community of drift logs and flotsam. Once again it remains in place, but not as stationary as before. How long will it stay? Where will it go next? The stump has a grandeur and loveliness about it. I am grateful to Senn for pointing it out to me. I will look for it during my next walk along the waterfront. A video clip can be viewed at www.ryksenn.com/stump-stasis/.

View late 19th century scorecards and other documents from the earliest era of America’s national pastime. In 1908 a report was issued attributing the invention of the game of Baseball to Abner Doubleday, a Civil War general, who, it said, devised the game with its name and modern attributes in 1839 at Cooperstown. This theory was widely accepted until 1939 until a further investigation found that no letter or document could be found to support this theory. Doubleday was not in Cooperstown in 1839 and may never have visited the town. He was enrolled at West Point and there is no record of any leave time. Instead, the investigation attributed the invention to Alexander Cartwright. Doubleday remains famous in the annals of baseball history as the man who was falsely credited with its invention. Alexander Joy Cartwright, Jr. set bases 90 feet apart, established 9 innings as game and 9 players as team. Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York in 1845. The team played the first baseball game on June 19, 1846, in Hoboken, New Jersey. Cartwright also introduced baseball to the Pacific Coast and Hawaii. He called the game Base Ball (later changed to Baseball). There exist few very early historical artifacts relating to the game of baseball. One of the first specific artifacts known is a challenge letter. Before schedules were drawn up, teams formally challenged each other to a match by sending a letter, suggesting a date and place to play. If this were agreeable, a game would ensue. The letter is on official Knickerbocker stationary and written to the president of the Eagle Base Ball Club on August 13, 1859. It states: “It would afford the members of our club much pleasure to play a friendly game of Ball with your Club at as early a day as convenient.” The year 1866 marked the advent of recording games on printed scorecards, as baseball clubs and spectators wished to keep detailed accounts of how the team performed. A scorebook containing scorecards also exists dated 1866, but it contains scores from a match in 1875. An 1867 scorebook exists and includes records for each game including: “fly’s caught,” “fly’s missed,” “fouls caught,” “fouls missed,” “out on fouls,” “home runs “ and “bases on balls called.” Typical scores were 53-27 and 44-38.

It’s not the Regal Cineplex, but it’s really a good quality screen, good visuals, good sound,� festival director Phil Raschke said. “We try to move (countries of origin) around. Last year we did a Mongolian film. This year we’re doing a film from India. The first one is called ‘Kahaani,’ and it’s a powerful film.� Admission is free but arrive early as seating is limited. Further details are available by calling (253) 588-0042. – Ernest Jasmin, Tacoma Weekly

Aug. 1 “Kahaani� (India, color, 150 minutes, 2012, PG-13) This murder mystery starts with a poison gas attack on the Kolkata Metro Rail and continues two years later when a pregnant software engineer travels from London to Kolkata (Calcutta) to search for her missing husband. Beautifully filmed during the festival of Durga Puja, it stars Vidya Balan who won the “Best Actress Award� for her fantastic portrayal of the determined wife. Chang Hee Sook Drum Group will open at 7 p.m. with the movie starting at 7:30 p.m.

Aug. 2 “To Live� (China, color, 132 minutes, 1998, PG-13) This Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Film begins in the 1940s when a rich man’s son gambles away the family fortune and reduces the entire family to peasantry. Over the next 40 years, the family experiences life and death during the Chinese Civil War, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. But through each hardship, the family manages “to live� and believes that life will get better. Stars box office sensation Gong Li. Chang Hee Sook Drum Group will precede “To Live� at 7 p.m. with the movie starting at 7:30 p.m.

Aug. 3 “All We Could Carry� (USA, 15 minutes, 2011, G) In 1942, 14,000 men, women and children of Japanese descent were ordered to leave their jobs, schools and homes and proceed to the Heart Mountain “Relocation Camp� near Cody, Wyoming. In this historically moving film - directed by Academy Award winner Steven Okazaki - 12 men and women who endured 3 1/2 years behind the barbed wire at Heart Mountain vividly relate their story of fractured families, denied dignity, isolation and love.

“The Front Line� (Korea, 133 minutes, 2011, PG-13) In this award-winning thriller, a ceasefire is ordered near the end of the Korean War, but a crack South Korean army unit is ordered to capture a strategic hill before it takes place. The unit commander is found dead with bullets from a South Korean weapon, and men in that unit mysteriously wear North Korean uniforms under their own uniforms. The ceasefire is near, the attack begins. Okinawa Taiko performers will go on before both movies at 2 p.m. with “All We Could Carry� starting at 2:30 p.m. and “The Front Line� at 3 p.m.

FAMOUS. The Fame Riot will play a CD release at Louie G’s Aug. 1. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

The Fame Riot crafts stick-in-your head synth-pop tunes that are sure to appeal to fans of Foster the People and MGMT. Their look, in contrast, is more like Steven Tyler by way of Spinal Tap. And now, after two years on the regional scene, Tacoma’s quirkiest duo – Liz (short for Lizard) Scarlett and Shazam “Tea Time” Watkins – is finally ready to unveil its first official CD release, a seven-song EP called “Dustfunk.” They’ll celebrate by headlining Louie G’s in Fife on Aug. 1, and Scarlett gave us a ring this week to preview the mayhem that’s sure to ensue. Tacoma Weekly: Long time no speak. The last time I ran into you was at the Parkway Tavern, and you were out causin’ trouble. Scarlett: I was? At the Parkway? I think it was Shazam. I don’t think I’m supposed to be around the Parkway, man. I’m too young. (He laughs.) TW: Wait a minute. You’re the darkhaired one, right? Scarlett: Well, I’m kinda brown, sandy blonde. Shazam’s the guy who keeps changing his hair from blonde to black. TW: OK, I remember he sat down and started trolling some guy. It was pretty funny and entertaining, though. Scarlett: Uh oh. TW: You guys have had that distinct glam look since you first started. But in a recent photo I’ve noticed you cut your hair. Scarlett: Yeah, man. I had a mullet for a while. Shaz cuts my hair for me. He’s the only person I let touch my hair … and he was like, “Let’s just shave the sides of your head and leave the mullet.” So it’s a mohawk, mullet, Indian, tribal, weird-ass haircut. I thought it would freak some people out, so I like it. TW: You guys are getting some love up in Seattle, on stations like KEXP where they just made your song, “Try to Be Better,” the track of the week; and you’ve been catching on in some other markets, too. Has your fame reached full riot? Scarlett: Not quite, man. That’s when we show up in a city, announce a day and a time and a place, and people start a riot. (He laughs.) I think that’ll take a couple more years, maybe more. But we’re definitely having fun doin’ what we’re doin’, expanding locally and down the West Coast. TW: The first string of singles you

released – including “Heart Stray” on the new record – you’ve got that catchy, synthpop sound your fans love. But on the new EP a couple of songs have a retro feel. Like on “I Like the Way You Move” you’re channeling some Earth Wind & Fire or something. Scarlett: It’s so funny that you say that. We started with a heavy, mainstream synthdance (sound.) We knew we wanted that as a part of our foundation. But a lot of the new stuff I’ve been writing with Shazam is almost like a throwback. We’ve always loved Bowie and the Talking Heads and all the older disco – Earth Wind & Fire, those bands. We’re finding our path and how to incorporate those influences properly. TW: Around this time last year, you mentioned that you have several albums worth of songs. But you’ve been trickling them out gradually and putting off a big project. What’s behind your approach? Scarlett: There’s no need to rush, you know. We’re rushing in the sense that we’re working every day at making new music. We’re putting all of our time into the product. But it’s kind of like a wave. You’ve gotta ride it to really hit it at the right time. I’ve studied storytelling, the dynamics of storytelling in movies and explaining the hero’s journey. I think it’s very important how you choose your steps and what you let people see. We have a five-year plan, basically, in our heads. We’ve got lots to do, but we’re just going as it feels right. TW: What can people expect from your live show these days? Scarlett: Me and Shazam used to just be a duo. We didn’t have any band mates, and we just built it with beats and DJ kind of stuff. But we now have hired guns, people that perform live with us. So we’ve got a live drummer. We’ve got a guy that’s been playing bass for us for quite a bit. We’re actually looking for a guitarist. So it’s a bigger band feel now. If you come to a show not knowing what to expect, I would say you’re gonna see an insane person next to another insane person making sense of nothing. People can expect to not know what to expect, even after they see us. Every time, we try to bring something new. The Fame Riot CD release party with Static, The Crying Spell and NTNT, 8 p.m. Aug. 1 at Louie G’s Pizza, 5219 Pacific Highway E., Fife. The show is open to all ages, and you can find the most up to date ticket info online at www.louiegspizza.com.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) A strong determination could help you overcome lingering financial problems. Things could get wild for you during this week’s New Moon so try to keep things under control. Those feelings of being the rebel will pass soon. Take that much needed risk.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) This week’s New Moon highlights social engagements with friends, coworkers and family. Many will want your attention and advice seemingly all at once. You may act as matchmaker, organizer, and referee. Ration your energy, as you will surely need it!

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) An air of mystery and intrigue surrounds you this week. The New Moon on the 26th shines light into you allowing for transformations. Start to get rid of old and useless items; donate to local charities. Control battles could continue. Try to keep the peace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Prioritize your goals and focus on what matters the most to you. You have been dragging your feet lately disassociated with your surroundings. Embrace what is right in front of you. Appreciate the value of a hard day’s work. Showcase your special talents for others to appreciate.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Lack of interaction and communication has been lifted favoring positive results. You have been waiting for this for a long time so take advantage of this energy. This week’s New Moon allows you to take some time for your pleasure. Do what you want!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The New Moon’s influence on you this week will be one of self-discovery that could lead to deep, inner healing. Turn down the psychodrama and listen to what the universe is trying to tell you. Use your talents and gifts to benefit yourself and those around you in a positive way.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Sometimes we are our own worst enemy – holding ourselves back while blaming this on work, family and other responsibilities. This week’s New Moon allows you to explore what you really want and gives you the courage and vision to see it though.
