PADDLES UP! Upon reaching shore, the canoe pullers raised their paddles as they asked for permission to land in the traditional way. The term "canoe puller" is used rather than "canoe paddler" due to the pulling motion used to pull back on the paddle while in the water to propel the canoe forward.
2016 PADDLE TO NISQUALLY CANOE JOURNEY CELEBRATES UNITY, FAMILY – AND THE WATER By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

uring these times of social unrest and political divisiveness around the world and in our own country, there is something that is so much more powerful among us and it showed itself on July 28 at Owen Beach. That something is the blessing of family and it was made real in each and every indigenous soul that stood on the beach shore that day for the arrival of the Puyallup leg of the 2016 Paddle to Nisqually. “That’s exactly what we’re all about – drug and alcohol prevention, being violence free and protecting our children,” said Puyallup Canoe Family Captain Connie McCloud. “Our bottom line is we
“That’s exactly what we’re all about – drug and alcohol prevention, being violence free and protecting our children.” – PUYALLUP CANOE FAMILY CAPTAIN CONNIE MCCLOUD want our children and our families to be safe.” To mark the importance of this historic event, Gov. Jay Inslee signed a special proclamation declaring July 30 through Aug. 6 as “Paddle to Nisqually Week.” He also visited the journey as it made its way through Nisqually. With the theme “Don’t Forget the
Water,” the 2016 Paddle to Nisqually brought the tribal people back to the heart of their culture and strength. As canoe after canoe arrived at Owen Beach throughout that hot summer Friday afternoon – nearly 90 in all – the 2016 Paddle to Nisqually provided the medicine so needed in these troubling times, as its heartbeat is love and unity as it has been from time immemorial.
GREEN CRAB COULD FOREVER PRIMARY CHANGE PUGET SOUND WATERS ELECTION
FEAR AND LOATHING AS 'RAVING MAD CRAB' SEEKS PUGET SOUND FOOTHOLD By Larry LaRue larry@tacomaweekly.com
For a crustacean that’s changed the world – wiping out other species from Europe to South America to both coasts of the United States – the green crab is not a name that intimidates. A more apt title is the Latin Carcinus maenas. Translated, it means “raving mad crab.” That’s a shellfish worth worrying about. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is worried and has been for the past several years, fearing an establishment of a breeding green crab colony could forever change the coastal waters of Puget Sound. There’s good reason for concern. The green crab, only 3 ½ inches across at full maturity, is listed among the top 100 invasive species – land or water – in the world. “It is aggressive, it’s not going to hide in its hole,” said marine ecologist Jeff Adams. “If you get lots of them together, you get the conflicts with native species. Basically it will eat anything. It’s carnivorous.” Funded by the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the University of

SHOWS STRONG SUPPORT FOR INCUMBENTS
This was proven in the incredible show of support for Jackie Salyers, the young Puyallup woman, and her unborn baby, killed by police six months ago to the date of July 28. Every puller in so many canoes wore “Justice for Jackie” T-shirts that it was indeed a touching sight to see. Native lives matter and Jackie matters was the message and it came through loud and clear. McCloud said the call for justice also includes murdered and missing women in Canada and the United States, with many Canoe Journey skippers adopting the justice call with their crew during the journey. “There really was an overwhelming response to wear the T-shirts and a lot of support, including offering financial support to the Justice for Jackie u See CANOE JOURNEY / page A8

GAS. Puget Sound Energy's plans for a liquefied natural gas plant on the tideflats faces a handful of hurdles. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Puget Sound Energy’s planned liquefied natural gas facility on the tideflats is facing challenges from state regulators, possible legal challenges and rising calls for additional environmental review by citizens critical of the project. The private energy company has most of the permits required to start construction of an 8 million gallon facility at 1001 Alexander Ave. E. on the tideflats that would manufacture liquefied natural gas (LNG). The $275 million facility would then sell LNG

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK
62ND AND EAST A STREET Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.” In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. Two road packages passed by voters last year added money to the city’s street fund. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Bulletin Board SAVE TACOMA WATER FILES APPEAL FOR INITIATIVES The grassroots effort Save Tacoma Water has filed a notice of appeal in hopes of changing Pierce County Superior Court Judge Jack Nevin's decision that haulted their efforts to put ballot measures up for a vote that would require a vote on high-water using projects. In filing this appeal, Save Tacoma Water seeks a hearing on its argument that the lower court’s decision was a violation of the people’s democratic rights including that of free speech, political speech, and a direct violation of the people’s fundamental right to local community self-government. “The courts would never even consider such an action to censure the lawmaking process of the state legislature, or a local government council. Yet somehow, citizen initiatives have become second-class lawmaking, compared to the lawmaking of the people's representatives," according to the filing. "The people, as principals, must have at least as much authority as their representatives. The courts' interference with the people's lawmaking process is just as illegitimate as the courts' interference with their agents' lawmaking process.” Save Tacoma Water argued the courts have a duty to stay walled off from the legislative arena – in this case that of the right to direct democracy through initiative – by staying out of what is clearly a political matter until, and only if, the initiatives were to be adopted by the vote of the people of Tacoma and become law. “The Washington Constitution, like the United States Constitution, prohibits judicial content-based review of an initiative before it becomes law. The Court lacks authority to review these initiatives and must dismiss the Plaintiffs' and City's claims.” The lawsuit originally filed against Save Tacoma Water was brought by the Port of Tacoma, Economic Development Board of Tacoma-Pierce County, and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce. The City of Tacoma was listed as a defendant because its City Clerk's Office handled the initiative filing, although city officials filed documents in support of the injunction. No oral argument date has been set, though the expectation is for the case to be heard in 2017. If the lower court decision is overturned, Save Tacoma Water is asking that the court order both of the initiatives to be placed on the next general election ballot. Initiative 5 is a charter amendment and Initiative 6 is an ordinance. They both would require public votes on any corporate projects being considered by the authorities if those projects required 1 million or more gallons of water a day. They would also limit the use of so-called corporate rights to override the rights of the community to be the decision maker on this matter. INPATIENT REHABILITATION HOSPITAL COMING TO TACOMA Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (“Kindred”) (NYSE:KND), a national health care leader, and CHI Franciscan Health, a top regional health care system, (“CHI Franciscan”) announced today that the Washington State Department of Health issued approval to construct and operate a 60-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Tacoma. The Department of Health issued the two health care organizations a Certificate of Need, which is a significant regulatory step toward building the hospital. “Care for patients needing long-term rehabilitation care has hit a tipping point in Pierce County,” said Ketul Patel, CHI Franciscan’s chief executive officer. “Our partnership with Kindred is a giant step toward meeting that critical need. This partnership is important in terms of partnering with a leading provider of post-acute care services to join with our full continuum of health care services, to provide our communities with the right care where and when they need it.” The new hospital will care for adults recovering from conditions such as stroke, neurological disease, injury to the brain or spinal cord and other long-term illnesses or injuries. The new facility will relocate CHI Franciscan’s inpatient rehabilitation services that are currently offered at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma. The rehabilitation hospital will be located at 815 South Vassault Street. “We look forward to a strong partnership with CHI Fran-

ciscan as we develop a new inpatient rehabilitation hospital that complements CHI Franciscan’s acute care settings and highly regarded reputation for helping patients recover and return home,” said Benjamin A. Breier, Kindred’s president and chief executive officer. “Kindred is proud of partnerships, such as this, with some of the nation’s leading health systems, because they recognize how our post-acute expertise and patient-centered care model help drive efficiencies and clinical integration. These collaborative efforts deliver the best in patient care and have helped our inpatient rehabilitation business outperform peers in key clinical measures.” Kindred will manage the day-to-day operations of the new hospital. Subject to several regulatory and other approvals, CHI Franciscan and Kindred expect to start caring for patients in the hospital in early 2018. In the Seattle market, Kindred operates two transitional care hospitals, two nursing centers, two co-located hospitalbased sub-acute units, and provides home health and hospice services. CHI Franciscan is affiliated with Catholic Health Initiatives, the third-largest nonprofit health system with operations in 19 states. CHI Franciscan provides health services in the Pacific Northwest.
INPUT SOUGHT ON CHAMBERS CREEK PARK Pierce County Parks and Recreation is looking for public input on the 2017 update to the Chambers Creek Regional Park Master Site Plan. The master plan is used to establish the vision for the park and to guide future development. Park users, citizens and interested stakeholders are encouraged to take a short five minute survey at www.co.pierce.wa.us/index. aspx?NID=4814 to help identify uses and activities that might be developed in the park over the next 10 years. The survey will close Aug. 31. The 930-acre regional park includes over 2 miles of saltwater shoreline, 2.5 miles of urban creek canyon, walking trails, soccer fields, open lawns, and breathtaking mountain and Puget Sound views. Although much has been done to develop the park, there are still decisions to be made on future development. The master site plan update is a collaborative effort of Pierce County Public Works, Pierce County Parks and Recreation, and representatives from the cities of University Place and Lakewood. To keep informed on upcoming meetings or to learn more about the Master Site Plan update process, please visit the project website at www.co.pierce.wa.us/index. aspx?NID=4745. SOUND TRANSIT SELECTS FIRM FOR LINK EXPANSION DESIGN The Sound Transit Board of Directors today selected HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide final design services for the Tacoma Link Expansion and an expanded maintenance facility. When open, the 2.4-mile extension will connect riders from the Stadium and Hilltop districts to a 1.6-mile line that currently operates between the Theater District and Tacoma Dome. “This is exciting news for Tacoma’s residents, businesses and community organizations,” said Sound Transit Board Vice Chair and Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “Moving forward with final design means we are on track to start construction in 2018 as planned.” The extension from the Theater District to Hilltop will operate primarily in-street along Stadium Way, North 1st Street, Division Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr., Way. It will include a relocated station in the Theater District and six new stations at Stadium Way and South 4th Street, the Stadium District, Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Division Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Way and 6th Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Way and South 11th Street, and Martin Luther King Jr. Way and South 19th Street. The project also includes an expansion of the existing Tacoma Operations and Maintenance Facility at 824 E. 25th St. In 2008, voters approved a funding partnership to expand Tacoma Link. Funded in part by Sound Transit 2 tax revenues and City of Tacoma contributions, the project has also received a $75 million Small Starts grant from the Federal Transit Administration. The City and Sound Transit have secured $33 million in federal and state grants toward the expansion, including a $15 million TIGER grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, and are identifying an additional $7 million to complete the City’s $40 million contribution to the project. The existing 1.6-mile light rail line serves six stations between the Theater District and the Tacoma Dome. Trains run every 12 minutes and provide nearly a million rides per year.

RoAd conStRuction PRojected to be ARound foR yeARS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Interstate 5 isn’t the only major road work that will occur outside the car windows of commuters for years to come. Work on local overpasses, off-ramps and connector roads, as well as State Route 167, will keep crews in orange vests active for the next decade or so. The main driver of the work is to have more direct routes from the shipping terminals on the tideflats to the distribution centers in east Pierce County and south King County while preserving – if not enhancing – street connections for commuters. Highlights of the local transportation projects in the works will be the topic of a Fife, Milton, Edgewood Chamber Luncheon on Aug. 10. “It’s really going to give people a heads up,” Fife Public Works Director Russ Blount said. One of those projects to watch is the ramp system at Fife’s 54th Avenue, which has 20,000 drivers each day. City officials there have been working with state, tribal, port and federal agencies to develop alternatives for the interchange that would not only cut down congestion and increase safety, but boost connectivity between the two halves of the city that were created by I-5 bisecting the city. The preferred option is a “Hybrid City Center Design” that keeps all of the existing on- and off-ramps on the east side of 54th Avenue and would provide two locations to enter or exit both northbound and southbound I-5, as well as include a new crossing of I-5 at Frank Albert Road East and 46th Avenue East at a cost of about $40 million. Even fast tracking the work would mean construction wouldn’t start for another five years. In the meantime, crews are working on I-5 and the associated ramps through Tacoma and Fife as well as the final leg of State Route 167 that will have its own roster of local ramp changes and road improvements. Construction of much of the work is set to start in 2019 and will likely continue through 2031 at a cost of $993 million from the $16 billion Connecting Washington transportation package lawmakers approved last year. The road would start at the current junction of SR 167 and Meridian to tie into Interstate 5, according to state reports. This project also includes the construction of a two-mile connection from I-5 to SR 509. These improvements will
provide two lanes in each direction from Tacoma to Edgewood and Puyallup. This roadway, meant to provide a more streamlined route between the warehouse hubs of the Puyallup and Kent valleys to the shipping terminals on the tideflats, has been in the works for decades. Planning for a complete SR 167 actually dates back to the early 1950s. The I-5 and Port of Tacoma Road interchange was constructed in the 1960s to allow for a future connection to SR 167. Sections of the road opened in the 1970s and 1980s, only to stall over money and property ownership questions. Planning for the completion started again in 1990, with a trickle of dollars for further planning passing state lawmakers for two decades. The $63 million Port of Tacoma Road overpass is also set for a reboot to streamline traffic on and off Interstate 5 to ease traffic snarls through town, particularly along Pacific Highway. There are six intersections in just a half of a mile along one stretch of the roadway, causing snarls. Another local project of interest, one with a bit of controversy to it, involves ways to reopen a road crossing at the Union Pacific Railroad tracks at 54th Avenue. There is an at-grade crossing there now, but has been fenced off for decades as part of a deal between the city and Fife School District that lead to the construction of Columbia Junior High School. An underpass to meet current safety standards would cost between $25 million and $50 million. The only ways to cross from the south side of Fife to the rest of the city are at Frank Albert Road, 70th Avenue and Freeman Road. Those roads were adequate when the area was largely undeveloped, but growth of planned communities and business centers since the 54th Avenue crossing was closed has brought many people in the neighborhood to call for it to be reopened to car traffic. A crossing in the area – either for walkers or cars – is needed since students who live on the south side of the tracks are simply ignoring the fence that blocks the tracks, creating an unsafe environment. Students have dug under, climbed over or simply cut through the fence to cross the tracks. The seemingly “simple” solution of reopening the at-grade street crossing at 54th Avenue is far from it, because of the agreement between the city and school district and oversight of railroad crossings themselves. The city had filed plans to open the at-grade crossing in 2009 only to withdraw the application after railroad and

MOCKINGBIRD SOCIETY: A NEW KIND OF FOSTER CARE
GrowinG up, it is essentiAl thAt children receive cAre, And cAn Grow stronG roots within their community By Carolin Jones carolin@tacomaweekly.com
“All of us can think of a coach, a mentor, a teacher, or someone that made a difference in our lives,� says Mockingbird Society Executive Director Annie Blackledge. For children that find themselves in an unstable family situation, finding and staying connected to these important people can be a real challenge. The Seattlebased organization, founded in 2000, made it their goal to provide a voice for foster youth, to end youth homelessness and improve the overall child welfare system. Children are placed in the foster care system when a court determines that due to neglect at home, and being at a risk of maltreatment, physical or sexual abuse, relocation to a safer place is the better option. As of Jan. 2015, 8,400 children lived in a foster home arrangement in Washington State, and while some could stay with family members, 6,000 of these children relied on foster homes according to the Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). The number of licensed foster homes, however, continues to decline and has dropped almost 17 percent since 2007. The Mockingbird Society has created the Mockingbird Family Model (MFM) to make the foster experience a good one for children and foster parents. The unique foundation of the model is called a hub home, or “grandma's house� as Director of Family Programs Degale Cooper calls it. The hub home is the center of an intentional community of six to 10 foster families living in proximity to a veteran foster parent that provides 24/7 assistance, support for the family and child, as well as respite care and social activities. “I would not have continued to be a foster parent if I did not have the experience of being a hub home provider. I would have been one of the foster families who, after their first year of fostering, decided not to foster any longer,� says Cooper, recalling her foster care experiences with another organization before becoming a hub home provider. The lack of resources, a support circle, proper training and immediate help can be frustrating for kids and families trying to grow and come together other during a challenging time. The hub home is a place that kids

and parents can turn to for help, and that will prevent children from having to be removed from the family during a crisis. Rather, the intention is to reach out to the hub home provider for an immediate response, which will set up both parties for success and empower them to make a brand new start – even if that means having to take a break and catch one's breath in a hub home. The MFM is designed to help kids build lasting relationships between care providers, other families, and peers and set them up with a strong network to navigate the challenges of adulthood once they leave their foster homes. “I know I am making a difference because families need that level of support, and that is the skill I can bring and share,� says Cooper. The Mockingbird Family Model aims to find a quality home for kids from a variety of backgrounds and take ethnic, cultural, religious preferences as well as a possible connection to the LGBTQ community into consideration when placing a child with a family that can cater to their unique personality and provide a comfortable experience.
Blackledge, who is a foster care alumnus herself, highlights the significance of kids' placement in proximity to their siblings during the experience. “I really believe that this model could have changed things for me. I was separated from my younger brother when I was in foster care, and I think had we been together, both of our experiences could have been very different.� Due to the shortage of foster homes, it is not always possible to place kids with the same family, yet the MFM works on placing them in the same hub home constellation and collaborates with the families to help keep siblings connected and nourish those relationships. The organization partners with youth that were part of the foster care system to address issues and improve the overall experience for others. That includes pushing for better policies and a stronger law. Responding correctly to crisis has been shown to be a success for staying together long-term and ensuring that kids get to remain in their communities, rather than being moved to a different location and having to start over again. The Mockingbird Society has partnered with the Milgard Family Foundation in Tacoma to implement the MFM in Pierce County, and nine hub home constellations are currently
operating in this region. While the Mockingbird Society is always looking for foster parents to join their program, not everyone can be a foster parent. However, anyone can become a sponsor that helps finance kids' social activities. The Mockingbird Society’s Inspire Luncheon will be held on Sept. 29 from 12-1:15 p.m. at the Westin Seattle Hotel, 1900 5th Ave., Seattle, where guests can enjoy a thoughtful and engaging program that highlights the power of youth voice. While the organization has a statewide presence with youth chapters in Spokane, Yakima, Everett, Tacoma, and Olympia, they are hoping to expand even further, attract and retain dedicated foster parents and find strong allies that want to help the Mockingbird Society transform the child welfare system. When asked what needs to change in the child welfare system, Cooper is quick to answer, “Society needs to come back together as a community. We all have some responsibility in ensuring that young people whether in foster care or they're homeless or in intact families have the support from their community to thrive and do well.� Learn more at www.mockingbirdsociety.org or call (206) 323-5437.
ROUTE ANALYSIS MOVING FORWARD
Catholic Community Services is partnering together with the mockingbird society in order to create a solid system of support and community for foster kids.

LUSHOOTSEED LANGUAGE INSTITUTE OFFICIALLY BEGINS AT UWT By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com
Under the guidance of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the University of Washington-Tacoma has launched the Lushootseed Language Institute, a two-week immersion program to help revitalize the Lushootseed native language spoken by several indigenous Coast Salish tribes, including the Puyallup. The first day of class on Aug. 1 was kicked off with a celebratory event to mark this historic occasion and give due credence to the institute as the first ever Lushootseed immersion program on Lushootseed ancestral land. The event was emceed by UWT Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies Danica Sterud-Miller, a key leader in bringing the institute to reality. Standing by was Zalmai Zahir, consultant with the Puyallup Language program from the University of Oregon, as the lead language teacher of the Lushootseed Language Institute. Also attending were the institute’s language teachers from the Puyallup Tribe’s Language Program: Puyallup tribal members Amber Sterud-Hayward, Archie Cantrell, Chris Duenas, and Stephanie Jackson-Louis; Angela Wymer (Snoqualmie Tribe) and Jessica Kiser from UWT. The Language Program has already been active within the Puyallup Tribe, having started its new revitalization efforts two years ago in its attempts to revitalize Lushootseed among the membership. Now, the effort is to broaden that scope into the greater community by establishing the Lushootseed Language Institute. "This is not only an institute for the participants, but it's also an opportunity for the Puyallup Language staff to experience and participate in an immersion setting,” Sterud-Hayward said. “We get to learn how to teach in a full immersion fashion. We also get to connect with the greater community through Lushootseed." The two-week adult Lushootseed language classes will teach people how to infuse language into their daily lives through conversation, use of language with daily activities and games – something Zahir has been implementing successfully with the Puyallup Language Program and community. The event began with a song offered by Puyallup tribal elder David Duenas, who had written the song just for this occasion. “It’s an honor to come out and represent

our Tribe and what our young people are doing with the language,” he said. “I made a song for our young people, to honor them and I’ve named it ‘Coming Toward Something New’ because our language isn’t new but it’s being revitalized and it’s real important to our people. I want to share this song to honor that.” Marjorie Matheson Zarate, elder and former Coeur d’Alene Tribal Council member who now works for the Puyallup Tribe, gave a prayer in Lushootseed and also offered a song. Burning sage, she explained the meaning of her prayer that was passed down to her by her father, the late Don Matheson, who was once Chairman of the Puyallup Tribe. “As Native people, we’re part of nature and creation and believe that every living thing upon this Mother Earth and into the universe has a spirit. The prayer calls in the spirit of nature and creation and then asks very reverently to be a part of what we’re doing so that what is taking place here today is going to take root and is going to grow into something wonderful – sanctioned and blessed by nature and creation and universe itself as we embark on this new journey.” Sterud-Miller introduced her father, Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud, and he welcomed everyone to the Puyallup reservation. “This is an historic moment taking place here,” he said, as he then put the moment into historical perspective. “When I was a kid, speaking English was the way it was to be because my mom said ‘you have to speak English’ and my grandma said, ‘we no longer speak our
language because they take the children away.’” Sterud said that at this moment in Puyallup tribal history a decision was made to keep the family structure together by not speaking the language in order to save families from being broken apart. “That’s what happened to us, and some horrific land deals that took place in that world, which is behind us also. It’s a new era.” Sterud recalled the time when downtown Tacoma was suffering with blight and crime, as opposed to now when it is a bustling place where people want to be. The construction of the UWT is a prime example of that turnaround, he said. “When I was growing up, this was a downtrodden, unsafe area then somebody had a dream to put a school here. And that dream came true. This place is beautiful. It’s on the Puyallup reservation on an original village site and it’s being done in a very environmentally sound way. And we, the Puyallup Tribe, we’re watching. We’ve always watched this urban place develop on our reservation. To see the UWT grow is humongous as far as the people it serves and the entire community. This is a giant here.” UWT Chancellor Dr. Mark Pagano addressed the crowd and pledged that the university would continue to be supportive of all tribal-based endeavors on campus. “We know we are here as guests of the Puyallup people. They are our neighbors and we are tenants on their land. As an institution, we want to do everything we can to prolong and expand the tribal ways

through the ways we teach our classes,” he said. “This language school, this is just the seed that starts a bigger tradition on our campus because it not only saves the language, it saves the history and the culture and it solidifies the young people if they know the language of their people.” Sharon Parker, Assistant Chancellor for Equity & Inclusion at UW Tacoma, agreed. “This is very important. If you’re in the land of the people, you speak the language of the people of the land. It helps to make the connection so people realize where they are and who has been here before them,” she said. Then, to honor everyone present, she distributed a perfect summertime gift – a fan – in the shape of a Husky’s paw and imprinted with “Good day to all of you, our honorable people” in Lushootseed and English. Finally, the crowd heard from Lisa Reeves, director of the KeyBank Center for Professional Development at UWT. SterudMiller said the institute wouldn’t have happened without the partnership between the Puyallup Tribe, UWT and KeyBank. “The Puyallup Tribe made a generous contribution to ensure that this institute would be here today,” Reeves said. “That donation allowed us to do our best work to put this together so that was huge.” Each speaker was gifted with a canvas tote bag – purple in keeping with the UW colors – featuring the Lushootseed Language Institute logo created by Chris Duenas then the crowd ended the event mingling and sharing in the breakfast foods that were generously provided for this Monday morning celebration.

Our View
A TALE OF hOtdOgS ANd BALLOT BOXES Hundreds, if not thousands, of Tacomans became de facto law enforcement officers, at least for a day, by gathering at one of the dozens of National Night Out block parties on Tuesday. The annual event has a simple premise, as it has for the last three decades: get neighbors talking about crime and concerns, and about what they see on their streets, while noshing on hotdogs and chips. Neighbors could certainly form block watch rosters, but the community-building campaigns really are more about folks just meeting and greeting people on their streets – you know, being neighborly – as a way of making sure small troubles don’t become big issues by connecting neighbors with each other, as well as with the police who are sworn to serve and protect them. National Night Out events strive to connect some 38 million people to their neighbors in thousands of communities, house by house and street by street in all 50 states and military bases around the world. The events provide residents a chance to not only climb into fire engines and wear police badge stickers, but chat with their elected officials, or those hoping to serve in an elected office. This year’s event landed on primary election day during a heated presidential year, after all. That is where the bad news comes in. Pierce County reported low voter turnout on Tuesday’s election. About one out of every three voters even bothered to spend a few minutes filling out their ballots and returning them for counting. Juxtapose that with the volume of politically charged memes circulating on social media. People apparently like griping with overly simplistic jabs and barbs against politicians, political parties, their supporters or controversial issues, but largely opt out of actually doing anything about it. Far too many people are simply shirking their civic responsibility to be informed and active members of society, unless hotdogs and face painting is involved. Sure, block parties and neighborhood gatherings can be fun and informative, and are certainly beneficial to their communities, but where are the crowds for political debates, study sessions and school board meetings? People rally, protest and exercise their First Amendment right of free speech for causes they hold dear, but then largely opt out of making their voices heard at the ballot box where decisions could actually make a difference about key issues. That is a shame that has to change. America has real troubles to address, sure, but maybe we could spend just a bit more time on working toward making our own streets safer, our neighborhoods more inviting, our schools more enriching, and our city more active with jobs and art projects, and by knowing more about the elected officials who make those decisions on our behalf. Then we should take the next step by informatively electing people who best represent our views, rather than opting out of those decisions, only to share caustic memes about decisions made in a debate vacuum.

eNeRgY POlIcY mUSt be bROAd ANd INclUSIve By Don C. Brunell America must have a thoughtful and comprehensive national energy policy that focuses on supplies that are environmentally friendly, abundant and affordable. Our strategy needs to include all energy sources. It must have balance and we need to have the patience, persistence and wisdom to implement it. It should encourage innovation. Energy is our nation’s lifeline. As our technology improves and our population grows, our dependence on electricity and transportation fuels increase. An “All-of-the-Above Energy Policy� would include wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal, hydropower, nuclear, oil, clean coal, natural gas and even futuristic sources such as hydrogen. Just as important, the plan would find ways to streamline project approval and permitting without unduly jeopardizing our environmental, health and worker protections. Surprisingly, Congress has been working to find common ground on a national energy strategy. Recently Alaska’s Journal of Commerce reported the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee agreed on our country’s first comprehensive energy policy reform bill since 2007. It credits the hard work by committee chair Lisa Murkowski, Alaskan Republican, and ranking Democrat Maria Cantwell of Washington. The Journal stated the U.S. House developed a plan as well. Lawmakers are set to go to conference after the sum-
mer recess and hope to have a bill on President Obama’s desk before he leaves office. There are many opportunities to put Americans back to work, sell energy products and technology, and generate much needed tax revenue – revenue which could help pay off our $19.5 trillion national debt. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that global energy demand will increase 40 percent between now and 2046. America is positioned to lead the development of all energy production and technology if Republicans and Democrats will continue to bridge differences. It is not easy. Republicans believe we must invest in carbon fuels, including coal, which are abundant, clean, affordable and a reliable domestic energy source. They would reverse the trend toward eliminating coal and put thousands of coal miners and power plant operators back to work. Democrats focus on climate change by curtailing coal, natural gas and oil and believe renewable energy technology will bring new jobs. The lightning rod in the debate is fracking – the new technology to extract oil and natural gas from deep beneath the earth. Over the last five years, fracking has made America the world’s top oil and gas producer accounting for thousands of new family-wage jobs. EIA reports the USA now is the world’s top oil and natural gas producer. Our natural gas production exceeds Russia’s output and we even outpaced Saudi Arabia in oil.
Aside from the debate over oil, gas and coal, there are other energy projects that both sides may find agreement. They are complex and daunting as well. For example, Washington could link its bountiful wind and water generating resources. We could build pump-storage facilities along the Columbia River in central Washington, which would increase our hydropower output. Currently, our state receives 70 percent of its electricity from water power. Here’s how it works. During times when wind farms produce a surplus of electricity, water from Columbia River reservoirs could be pumped hundreds of feet uphill to newly constructed reservoirs. It would be stored until peak load electrical demand periods when it would be dropped through penstocks into turbines to generate hydropower. Pump storage projects are gaining acceptance, but finding the money to fund them is a problem. If they are part of a national energy strategy, chances are better that financing will occur. The bottom line is there are many opportunities to continue to make America “the world’s energy leader.� But it does take an open-minded commitment to look at all options and a desire to resolve differences. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.
SlAveRY, WAR ANd PReSIdeNtIAl POlItIcS By Robert C. Koehler As I watched “unity� take hold of the Democratic Party this week, the believer in me wanted to imbibe it – bottoms up. Michelle Obama ignited the crowd. “That is the story of this country,� she said. “The story that has brought me to the stage tonight. The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, who kept on striving, and hoping, and doing what needed to be done.� And the Big Party opened its arms. “So that today, I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.� Slaves? Wow. I can remember when we didn’t talk like this in public, especially not on a national stage. Acknowledging slavery – at a profound level, in all its immorality – is so much deeper than simply acknowledging racism, which can be reduced to the behavior of ignorant people. But the ownership of human bodies and human souls, total control over people’s lives and the lives of their children, was inscribed in law. And such ownership was a core principle of the “greatest country on earth,� embedded in the economy, embraced by the Founding Fathers with no questions asked. This isn’t just “history.� It’s wrong. Indeed, the United States of America came into being with a damaged soul. That was the implication packed into Michelle Obama’s words. But no more, no more. The wild cheers she received when her speech ended seemed to acknowledge a long-delayed public desire for atonement. We’ve become a country that can acknowledge its wrongs and right them. And electing Hillary Clinton as president – the message continued – would be a further step along this journey toward full equality of all human beings. The Democratic Party has found its unity and
stands for what matters. If only‌ I can take the infomercial aspect of all this – the pumped fists, the roar of victory, the clichĂŠs of American greatness emanating from one speech after another, even the endless media reduction of democracy to horse-race stats – but I am a long way from being aboard the Hillary bandwagon. And despite the lurking specter of Trumpenstein, I remain unconvinced that this year – come on, man, this year – the candidate of the lesser evil is the one I have to vote for. And I’m not even speaking as a rebellious Berniecrat. “It’s no secret that Hillary and I disagree on a number of issues. That’s what democracy is all about!â€? Bernie Sanders said on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, standing solidly for real political even change as he called for party unity and endorsed Hillary. He also said: “This election is about ending gross levels of income inequalityâ€? and called for serious Wall Street reform, containment of the billionaire class, free state college tuition and the expansion of various social programs. What he failed to call for is, at the very least, a discussion of the disastrous consequences and hemorrhaging costs of the American war machine, which is the primary cause of the nation’s social impoverishment. What I’m certain of is that the revolution Sanders has fomented is grounded, in the hearts of his supporters, in the transcendence of war as much as it is grounded in the hellish wrongs of racism and slavery. This wrong is not only part of the deep past, beginning with the conquest of and genocide against the continent’s original inhabitants, but it is alive, economically entrenched and wreaking planetary havoc today. And we can’t even talk about it.
Over the past quarter century, neocons and military-industrialists have vanquished Vietnam Syndrome and the public opposition to war, achieving the solidification of endless war. “There was significant opposition to the First Gulf War – 22 senators and 183 reps voted against it, including Sanders – but not enough to stop the march to war,� Nicolas J.S. Davies wrote last October on Huffington Post. “The war became a model for future U.S.-led wars and served as a marketing display for a new generation of U.S. weapons. After treating the public to endless bombsight videos of ‘smart bombs’ making ‘surgical strikes,’ U.S. officials eventually admitted that such ‘precision’ weapons were only 7 percent of the bombs and missiles raining down on Iraq. The rest were good old-fashioned carpet-bombing, but the mass slaughter of Iraqis was not part of the marketing campaign. When the bombing stopped, U.S. pilots were ordered to fly straight from Kuwait to the Paris Air Show, and the next three years set new records for U.S. weapons exports. . . . “Meanwhile, U.S. officials crafted new rationalizations for the use of U.S. military force to lay the ideological groundwork for future wars.� And Barack Obama’s military budget is the largest ever. When you factor in all military-related spending, Davies points out, the annual cost of U.S. militarism is over a trillion dollars. Before the value of this spending is addressed, the fact of it has to be acknowledged. And no presidential candidate without the courage to do at least this – open a discussion about the costs and consequences of war – deserves my vote, or yours.

SAmPling continueS for toxinS in uWt groundWAter By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Sampling crews are drilling wells on and around University of Washington-Tacoma to monitor the spread and concentration of chemicals that were left in the soil during the century of manufacturing and industrial activity in the area. The work will run through the month, so area residents, students and visitors should expect periodic construction noises and detours between Tacoma and Yakima avenues from South 17th to South 21st streets. The test wells are needed in the ongoing effort to map the locations and levels of toxins in the 46 acres of the city’s former Brewery District that is now anchored by UWT. The mapping effort is the latest step since chemicals were first found in the groundwater in 1997, as the first buildings on the campus were taking shape. “It’s like putting pins on a map,” UWT’s Director of External Communications Mike Wark said. “Before you start cleaning up these plumes, you have to know where it is. There is 100 years of industrial legacy up there.” The studies to date have identified, but not fully characterized, the extent of contamination that likely involves areas outside of the campus footprint. The pricetag so far is $7 million as part of an agreement between the university and the Department of Ecology. The final pricetag will depend on the level and breadth of the contamination as well as the mitigation methods. The groundwater in the area contains petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene, trichloroethene and perchloroethene, which can be harmful to people and the environment. The health risks, however, are considered to be low because of the limited contact people will have with the groundwater. But cleanup or mitiga-

tion in areas will be done to avoid the toxins from contaminating the Foss Waterway and its wildlife, as well as to support UW Tacoma’s potential growth and development in the area. “There is very low cause for public concern, but the Department of Ecology want to be sure,” Wark said. “It was found on our campus, so we are responsible for it.” The source of the chemicals has so far been traced back to former gas stations, chemical disposal operations and industrial and manufacturing operations that date back to the pioneer days of Tacoma. The campus is located along decommissioned railroad tracks as well as the terminus for the transcontinental railroad that is now commemorated by the Prairie Line Trail through the campus. Commercial and industrial uses in the area included dry cleaning, auto repair operations and various manufacturing. The tests of the water collected during this round of well drilling will help determine if there are any ongoing sources of the pollution, particularly since the campus is located on the downhill slope that is capped by a commercial strip. As late as the 1980s, a waste
management facility operated in the area, for example. The business closed and Washington State took over the site along with an adjacent property in the 1990s after toxic chemicals were found in the soil. In 1997, UWT and ecology signed an agreement to start site cleanup. In many cases, the contaminated areas will be treated with injections of a slurry made of copper or oxygen that breaks down the solvents. The sites will then be monitored to make sure chemicals don’t leach further downhill. “Although the contamination does not pose a public health risk on the UWT campus, the fact that evidence suggests that the groundwater contamination may be threatening the completed cleanup of the Thea Foss Waterway is very concerning,” Citizens for a Healthy Bay Director Melissa Malott wrote in her comment letter regarding the cleanup. “… The importance of remediation and monitoring to prevent the recontamination of the Thea Foss Waterway cannot be overstated. A healthy and vibrant Thea Foss Waterway and Commencement Bay is vitally important to the character and identity of our community.”
t Green Crab
Africa, Norway, Iceland and Australia, probably as larvae contained in the ballast water of ships. The green crab was first found in the coastal waters of Maine in the 1950's, and they are believed to have contributed to the dramatic declines in the soft shell clam industry there. In California, it has caused losses as great as 50 percent in Manila clam stocks once it established itself. How is that possible? The crab will dig down as far as six inches to find clams to eat. One green crab can consume 40 half-inch clams a day, as well as other crabs its own size and small fish. “Female green crabs can lay a quarter of a million eggs each,” Adams said. “Granted, not all of them will make it, but that makes it so prolific.” Adams and his team are charged with finding any green crab invasion before it becomes firmly established. The reasoning is simple and frightening. Nowhere on the planet has the crab established itself and then been irradiated. Once it colonizes an area, Adams said, the best man can do is trap the crab in hopes of controlling it. In Washing waters, that could mean trouble for the native Dungeness crab, salmon runs and even shore birds. The first two are on the green crab’s diet, while the birds can be infected by a marine worm often carried by the green crab. Among the problems defending against the crab is that early identification, such as finding young green crabs in salt water marshes and estuaries, is difficult. “It can seem like finding a needle in a haystack,” Adams said. “The color, for instance, is not something we want to use for identification. Immature green crabs come in natural rainbow of colors, including mottled. It's a species strategy, it helps them prosper. “Some adults are red.” In the Northwest, dozens of “suspect” crabs were caught, frozen and sent to the team over the last 18 months. Most were helmet crabs or hoary shoe crabs. Not one was a green crab. “The biggest identifier to be aware of are the five spines near its eyes,” Adams said. “No other native crab has those spines.” Beach walkers aren’t likely to spot one – the green crab likes to stay cool, and in the water. “The most likely to see them are kayakers in shallow water,” Adams said. “If you think you see one, snap a photo with your phone and send it to us at Crabteam@ UW.edu. Don’t take them home to send to us – it’s illegal to take them.” Adams and his team are setting traps in locations the green crab might find accommodating. So far, no green crab has been caught in the Puget Sound. That’s good news. “We’re going to expand our volunteer network next spring, train more people to search,” Adams said. “If you’re interested in attending, email us at Crabteam@ UW.edu and we’ll put you on the list.”

And the temperature was baking at a peak of summertime glory. “Welcome to the waters and lands of the Puyallup Tribe,” said Puyallup Tribal Council Member Sylvia Miller. “We are honored that you are here today. We know you have traveled a long, hard journey and we would like to welcome you to the shores to join in the festivities that we have prepared for you and hope you have a very good time. Come ashore!” After landing and carrying the canoes to dry land to rest for the night, everyone headed to the Chief Leschi Schools campus, the host site for this leg of the Canoe Journey. With canoes having traveled from as far north as Alaska, as far south as Hawaii and as far east as New York, the school grounds were transformed into a temporary village for the night with tents as far as the eye could see. Later that night, a special

Gifted with songs, applause and affection, the veterans were celebrated in keeping with the Canoe Journey weekend of giving thanks. “We want to share our gratitude and our love and appreciation for everything you have done for our people,” said Puyallup Canoe Journey Event Coordinator Clinton McCloud. “A lot of you guys set the groundwork to have all of this right here and if it wasn’t for our older people, our grandmothers, our grandfathers and our loved ones that have gone on before us, we would not be able to have a day where we can have all of our indigenous people come with their canoes, their songs, their medicine and their prayers.” The crowd’s cheers and applause backed up everything Clinton said.

to container ships and other commercial transportation customers seeking loweremission fuels. Only Totem Ocean Trailer Express has signed on so far. Tanks would also store gas that the utility could tap into during the handful of unusual weather days each year when demand outpaces current supplies. Construction could start later this year if the remaining permits come through and legal challenges greenlight the project. The facility could open in 2019 following a construction timeline that could span three years. But that timeline could change if critics have their way. Washington Utility and Transportation Commission staffers and legal staff, for example, object to PSE’s request for a waiver on its original contract to allow the company to form a for-profit subsidiary to handle the unregulated sales of LNG to container shipping companies alongside the regulated storage for “peak shaving” use by utility customers. An Australian investment conglomerate called the Macquarie Group bought Puget Sound Energy in 2008 under the condition that the utility

On Sunday, July 31, a Medicine Creek Treaty ceremony was held at the Billy Frank, Jr. National Wildlife Refuge in Nisqually. The crowd that gathered there for this blessing for Medicine Creek Treaty tribes heard inspiring words from many tribal leaders and elders of the Medicine Creek Treaty Tribes, and Congressman Denny Heck was there as well to share his thoughts. Puyallup Council Member Tim Reynon said he was honored to be present for the ceremony and to watch the canoes navigate the waters of Medicine Creek as they had 162 years ago on their way to sign the treaty that bears the name of the waterway they traveled on. “I couldn't help but feel the presence of our ancestors and feel the weight of the responsibility to carry on the legacy they left us of protecting our sovereignty, our members, our resources, and our rights,” he said. “I'm just so very thankful for the opportunity to gain a greater connection to our ancestral leaders who paved the way for us to govern ourselves even to this day.”
would not form a private company in a way that could open its 2 million customers to potentially higher rates or market risk. Spreadsheet wranglers call it “ring fencing” since the idea is to have clearly defined financial fences around any regulated utility expenses and those borne by a for-profit company and its investors on the unregulated free market. “We believe that this is a really good project for both the company, its customers, the region and the environment,” PSE’s legal counsel Jason Kuzma said during a WUTC hearing. “… Due to the unregulated and the regulated nature of it -- it's sort of a square peg and we're trying to fit it into a regulatory round hole.” Plans for the LNG plant, however, call for Puget Energy to form a separate company called Puget LNG to operate and own the tideflats location alongside Puget Sound Energy. The new company would share the cost of building and operating the facility and its 18 employees based on a yet-to-be determined formula. There are several examples of a utility co-owning power plants and other facilities with a private company. This would be the only facility of its kind in the country, however, since the “partners” would be owned by the same parent company. “We can’t build a regulated standalone

vote for the Pierce County Executive seat. Current Executive Pat McCarthy opted out of running to retain her seat to concentrate on her run for State Auditor. She received 38.03 percent, just behind the top vote getter, Republican Senator Mark Miloscia, who received 40.07 percent. Incumbent Tacoma-area lawmakers seem well positioned going into the final leg of their campaign for reelection in November. State Senate Democrat from the 27th Legislative District Jeannie Darneille gained 61.88 percent of the vote in a three-way race. Her closest challenger, who she will now face in the general election is Republican Greg Taylor. He received 26.50 percent of the vote. Tacoma’s 27th Legislative Representatives Laurie Jinkins and Jake Fey, both Democrats, automatically move on to the general election to retain their individual seats since both ran unopposed. In the westside’s 28th Legislative District, Republican incumbent Steve O’Ban received 53.81 percent of the vote against Democratic challenger Marisa Peloquin’s 46 percent. 28th Republican Representative Dick Muri received 53.15 percent of the vote to retain his seat against Democratic challenger Mari Leavitt’s 38.85 percent. 28th District State Representative Christine Kilduff, a Democrat, received 50.74 percent of the vote with her top challenger, Republican Paul Wageman receiving 27.42 percent in a four-way race. Republican 29th State Rep. David Sawyer has a 6-percentage point lead over his closes challenger Independent Rick Thomas in a three-way race for the central Pierce County seat. Democratic State Rep. Steve Kirby has a solid lead to retain his 29th Legislative seat against his challenger, Republican Jessica Garcia. Kirby gained 60 percent of the vote to Garcia’s 37.82 percent. Central Pierce Fire and Rescue is set for more funding as two ballot measures seem destined for approval. Proposition No. 1 gained 74.96 percent of the vote and Proposition 2 gained 76.79 percent.

project and we can’t build an unregulated standalone project,” Kuzma said. “It’s the economies of scale that capture the benefits of the customers, which we project to be about $100 million… This is a once-in-ageneration opportunity to build this project that’s come about in large part due to environmental regulations facing TOTE. And if we do not seize this at this time, TOTE has the opportunity to seek other alternatives.” So far the UTC has denied the waivers, citing that PSE is requesting to do something it specifically pledged in 2007 to never do when it sought approval of the ownership change. “There may very well be broad merit to the plans offered by the company; however, the company’s proposals invoke novel and complex questions of law and policy,” assistant Attorney Genreal Brett Shearer summarized. PSE has been in talks with state regulators for months to gain the contract waivers to no success so far. The utility commission held a status hearing on Tuesday, which ended with no decision as mediation continues. The legal waters involving the proposed plant is equally muddy with the Washington State Shorelines Hearings Board recently rejecting an appeal by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. The tribe had sought more
environmental review concerning potential run off from the site leaking into the Blair and Hylebos waterways. An appeal to the board’s decision is almost certain. Puget Sound Energy officials updated Port of Tacoma Commissioners on the project late last month since the corporate structure they want would require a change in the lease for the port-owned land. The current lease lists the operator as Puget Sound Energy, so a shared facility would have to list both the regulated utility arm, PSE and the new for-profit entity, Puget LNG. Commissioners want both, or the parent company Puget Energy, named on the lease as a way to safeguard against cleanup expenses if the plant falters. “That has been our history,” Commissioner Don Meyer said. “I don’t want to see the liability being transferred.” In another wrinkle, a hearing on PSE’s appeal of a lower court decision regarding the release of emergency response scenarios to the grassroots environmental group RedLine Tacoma won’t reach a courtroom until early 2017. The City of Tacoma and a Superior Court judge have already determined the information should be released as public documents. PSE claims making those disaster-response information would make the plant vulnerable to terrorist attacks and should therefore remain secret.

PUYALLUP NATION READY FOR TITLE DEFENSE
PHOTO BY ROCKY ROSS
STILL TOPS. Despite this home run swing, Tacoma's Patrick Kivlehan was designated for assignment on Monday, Aug. 1. The move marked the 128th roster transaction by the Rainiers this season. After a short road trip, Tacoma returns home for a fourgame series against the Sacramento River Cats beginning on Sunday, Aug. 7 at 5:05 p.m., and capped on Wednesday, Aug. 10 with another special 11:35 a.m. matinee special. In their recent matinee game against Albuquerque on Tuesday, Aug. 2, Tacoma drew an impressive 6,561 fans to the game.

T
he Puyallup Nation Kings found themselves in a rare situation during their Western Washington Football Alliance (WWFA) semifinal game against the Bellingham Bulldogs on Saturday, July 30, at Chief Leschi Stadium. Following five straight shutout victories, the Kings not only had given up some points, but were actually trailing the Bulldogs in the first and second quarters. It was not something local football fans were used to seeing. With under seven minutes remaining in the second quarter, Puyallup trailed the Bulldogs 14-12. When the two teams entered the locker rooms for halftime, the Kings had added 30 points to their side of the scoreboard, and Puyallup had doubled up Bellingham by the tune of 42-21. They had scored 30 points in a span of six minutes and 14 seconds. While Bellingham put up a strong performance, there was no way for the Bulldogs to keep up with the incredible momentum that Puyallup seemed to generate out of thin air, and carried it all the way to the final whistle for an impressive 68-35 final score. The defending WWFA champion Kings (10-0) will now face the Wenatchee Rams (9-1) for the WWFA championship trophy on Saturday, Aug. 6 at Chief Leschi Stadium. The matchup will pit the two strongest teams in the 14-team, statewide semipro football league. As a matter of fact, the last time the two teams played was also the last time Puyallup found themselves trailing in a football game. Back on June 11, the Kings travelled to Lee Boffo Field in Wenatchee. What ensued was probably one of the best regular season games throughout the regular season, and easily the tightest contest of the year for the Kings. After entering halftime trailing 7-0, Puyallup put a touchdown on the board in the third quarter to pull within one point. The Kings added another 12 in the fourth quarter, while Wenatchee would muster just a field goal, and the Kings left town with an 18-10 nail-bit-

It’s been a golden season for the Tacoma Rainiers and their baseball fans this season. With what has seemed like a constant stream of warm, if not hot, summer nights and afternoons at Cheney Stadium, it’s no wonder there’s a reasonable chance for the organization to break the all-time attendance record this season. Oh, and by the way, the Rainiers have been in first place since opening day. As of press time, that’s a run of 112 straight games. Their 64-45 record is currently the best overall mark in the 16-team Pacific Coast League, and the third-best record in all Triple-A. You’re not going to win a championship if your team can’t take care of business in their own ballpark. This is where the Rainiers have shined this season. Tacoma’s home record at Cheney Stadium currently stands at 37-19. That mark is tops in all of Triple-A baseball and it’s been obvious that baseball fans have been responding to this impressive run, by returning back to Cheney Stadium on a consistent basis all season. If the current attendance pace holds, the Rainiers should close the season at just over 371,000 fans for the season. This would be the secondlargest attendance mark since Tacoma started playing at Cheney Stadium in 1960. The all-time record of 378,518 was set during the 2011 season that saw the Rainiers finish at 70-74 and second place in the Pacific Northern Division. Attendance is currently hitting 5,226 per ballgame right now. With just 16 games remaining on the home schedule, fans really aren’t too far off from tying or setting a new mark. Perhaps it’s time to invite that relative or friend you’ve been thinking about all spring and summer. Then again, perhaps you realize that you haven’t been out to a ballgame yourself, and it’s time to get out there. With 16 home games left, Cheney Stadium needs to see an average of 5,690 to set the new, all-time mark. That’s just 394 more fans games, then they’ve already been pulling in. I’ve got a feeling it’s going to happen. After a stellar 19-10 mark for the month of July, it’s going to take everything the Rainiers have got to maintain their lead in the PCL Pacific Northern Division. All season, the Reno Aces have been nipping at Tacoma’s heels, even joining them at the top for two games, before falling behind again. Despite some great baseball by Tacoma, Reno and the Fresno Grizzlies have also been playing well and both teams trail the Rainiers by just a few games. As of press time, Fresno (60-49) trails Tacoma by just 3.5 games, with Reno (60-50) trailing by four. The final 13 games of the season are looking like a diehard baseball fan’s dream. Tacoma travels to Reno for a five-game series starting on Wednesday, Aug. 24. The club will return home for the final eight games of the season at the cozy confines of Cheney. Tacoma will host Fresno for a four-game series starting on Monday, Aug. 29 and will then host Reno for the final four games of the season, starting on Friday, Sept. 2. It’s an exciting time to be a Rainier fan right now. Not only is the team on an exceptionally long first-place run, but the final home games are lining up to basically be playoff games for Tacoma, Fresno and Reno. That doesn’t even take into account the possibility of an actual PCL playoff run for Tacoma. For tickets and more information, visit TacomaRainiers.com or stop by the Cheney Stadium box office.

SPORTSWATCH PLU’S MAX BEATTY GETS SECOND CHANCE AT THE PROS
Former PLU baseball player Max Beatty knows what it means to take advantage of a second chance, making the most of his opportunity as a professional baseball player in the Chicago White Sox organization. At one point in his time at PLU, Beatty had no idea if he would ever toe the rubber again. Beatty's baseball journey at PLU started in 2010. In an injury shortened season, Beatty posted a 7.16 earned run average in nine games for the Lutes. In 2011, Beatty started 11 games and had a 3.75 ERA, striking out 60 batters while allowing just 20 walks. Beatty's career was progressing nicely, when suddenly baseball became the least of Beatty's worries. Beatty had been diagnosed with testicular cancer. “When I was home for Christmas break I finally went to the doctor after about a month of noticing something a little different and was diagnosed (with cancer).” Beatty said. “After coming to realization of what happened and what is happening, I knew right away that there was one thing to do and that was to fight it in any way I can. The first way was surgery, which was then followed by chemo because there was still traces of the cancer after surgery. Through the whole process there was no time to be negative. It was huge to have the amazing support from all those around you showing love and positivity.” Beatty returned to the mound in 2013 and was lights out for the Lutes. Beatty started 13 games, had a 7-5 record with three complete games. Beatty had a 2.48 earned run average, giving up only 24 earned runs while opponents batted .224 against him. The right hander was dominant, striking out 90 batters while allowing 13 walks. “Max was our ace in 2013,” PLU head coach Nolan Soete said. “The numbers he put up were great, but they don't tell the whole story. Max was coming off a rough year, he just beat cancer and he wasn't 100% healthy. So considering the circumstances he had a phenomenal year.” “I would say I changed.” Beatty said. “I found different ways to handle and use different parts of myself both on the mound and off. Like all things in life, it's about experience, repetition. I never stopped working, always learning and adding to my game each year, at each level.” The San Diego Padres took interest in Beatty's outstanding season and drafted him in the 32nd round with the 958th overall pick. “It's a dream come true.” Beatty said. “It's what every ball player strives for.” Beatty's career with the Padres organization didn't go as expected. The righty played in rookie ball, as well as at Class A Eugene. Beatty's performance dipped from what he did at PLU and the Padres released Beatty from the organization after two seasons. In 2015, Beatty found himself on the independent circuit with the San Rafael Pacifics. In the Pacific Association, Beatty's career had a resurgence. Beatty later signed with the Wichita Wingnuts of the American Association, combining to make 29 starts, going 16-6, throwing six complete games, with an ERA of 2.61. Beatty struck out 179 hitters allowing just 39 walks. Once again, Max Beatty had taken advantage of a second chance. “I was able to keep learning about myself,” Beatty said. “I was able to try new things if need be, but I was also more able to pinpoint my strengths on the mound and develop those more. I found where I get those strengths and how they are used successfully.” Beatty was picked up by the Chicago White Sox organization in 2016. Beatty is currently pitching in the Class A South Atlantic League as a member of the Kannapolis Intimidators. Beatty is 4-5 with a 3.98 earned run average in 52 innings pitched. “It being my second team and getting picked up after being released and going through Indy ball I do have a different view on it this go around,” Beatty said. “I feel more prepared and am just having fun with the game I love.” The former Lute is a great example of what positivity and a great work ethic can get you in life. Beatty earned a second chance at the game he loved after winning his bout with testicular cancer. Beatty did it again with a remarkable season in independent baseball. At one point, it didn't seem possible, but Max Beatty is back to toeing the rubber once again. – Christian Bond, PLU Sports.
PLU WOMEN’S TENNIS GARNERS ACADEMIC ACCOLADES
The Pacific Lutheran University women's tennis squad secured a handful of academic awards for excellence in the classroom this week, earning the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's All-Academic Team Award while Emily Bower, Caroline Dreher, Karli Floyd, and Kristi Floyd landed the ITA Scholar Athlete Award for the 2015-2016 season. The Lutes were one of 141 Division III women's teams to be honored, including five from the Northwest Conference. Also claiming the All-Academic Team award was Lewis & Clark College, Linfield College, Whitman College, and Whitworth University. The All-Academic Team Award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the NCAA eligibility form and have competed in one or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current academic year. “Getting good grades is very important to the Lutes women's tennis team and I'm proud of the way this team strives for excellence on and off the court,” said head coach Lorrie Wood. “High GPA's have become a team tradition and a challenge that is passed down to each incoming class of Lutes, to keep the bar high on and off the court. Well done Lutes.” Individually, Bower, Dreher, Karli Floyd, and Kristi Floyd all secured the ITA Scholar Athlete Award for the first
time in their careers. To be eligible for the award studentathletes had to maintain at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average for the academic year while being enrolled at her current institution for at least two semesters. Bower, a computer science major, split time between the No. 3 and No. 4 singles positions while playing primarily at No. 2 doubles. A mathematics and art major, Dreher played exclusively at No. 1 singles and doubles this past season, securing Second Team All-Northwest Conference honors while also earning a spot on the NWC All-Sportsmanship Team. Karli is working on a degree in elementary education while Kristi is an environmental science major. The Lutes open the lid on the 2016-2017 campaign on Sept. 29, trekking to Walla Walla, Washington for the ITA Northwest Regional.
LIZIER-ZMUDZINSKI, SHIPLEY EARN USTFCCCA ALL-ACADEMIC HONORS
Geremia Lizier-Zmudzinski and Tyler Shipley earned All-Academic honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), the USTFCCCA recently announced. The Puget Sound women's track & field squad also earned a USTFCCA All-Academic Team nod with a 3.26 team GPA. In order to qualify for the individual honor, studentathletes must have a minimum 3.30 GPA (cumulative), must have competed in either the NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championship, and must be ranked in the top 35 nationally for an individual event. Lizier-Zmudzinski and Shipley competed in both the NCAA Division-III Indoor and Outdoor Championships during the 2015-16 academic year. Lizier-Zmudzinski earned All-American status in the 3,000-m run during the NCAA Indoor Championships. Shipley grabbed an All-American nod in the 5,000-m run during the indoor season, and he was an All-American in the 10,000-m run during the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Shipley is also a CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree, and he recently received the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Both Loggers were named to the USTFCCCA All-West Region Team for the outdoor season. Lizier-Zmudzinski and Shipley were the Northwest Conference's top two runners during the 2015 cross country season, with Shipley earning the NWC title. The duo competed in the NCAA Division-III Cross Country Championships.
UPS ANNOUNCES FIVE NEW FACES FOR THE LOGGER ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME
The University of Puget Sound will enshrine its next class of Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees this fall as part of the university's Homecoming Weekend, October 21-22, 2016. The five individuals, as selected by the Athletic Hall of Fame Committee, include three former student-athletes and two former head coaches. The 2016 Hall of Fame class includes Andrea Boitano (women's cross country/track & field), Kristina Goos (women's basketball), Randy Hanson (women's soccer head coach), Wanda Howlett (women's cross country/track & field), and Jack McGee (baseball head coach). Andrea Boitano (Cross Country / Track & Field, 199498) - Boitano was a three-time women's Cross Country All-American (1995, 1996, 1997), and she was twice named to the Cross Country All-Academic Team (1996, 1997). Boitano earned an All-Academic nod twice as a track & field student-athlete (1997, 1998), and she's a three-time All-American in the 10,000-m run. In 1997, Boitano placed 14th in the NAIA Cross Country National Championships. Kristina Goos (Women's Basketball, 1995-99) - Goos holds several career and single-game records for the Puget Sound women's basketball program. Her 41 points against Central Washington during the 1995-96 season remains a Logger record. Goos' 1,623 career points ranks third alltime, and her 15.9 points per game ranks second. Her 85.5 free-throw percentage is still the best in Logger history (min. 200 attempts), and she ranks third with 178 made 3-pointers. Goos was the Northwest Conference Player of the Year for the 1996-97 season, and she was named to the NAIA All-American Third Team that same year. Randy Hanson (Women's Soccer Head Coach, 19952015) - Hanson announced his retirement following the 2015 season, in which the Loggers went undefeated and captured their 14th-consecutive Northwest Conference title. He posted a 303-74-36 overall record (.777) at the helm of the Loggers. Hanson's Loggers posted a 16-10-6 record in the NCAA Tournament, and Puget Sound advanced to the national championship game in 2004. A 12-time NWC Coach of the Year and three-time West Region Coach of the Year, Hanson guided 16 All-Americans, 73 All-Region selections, 72 All-NWC First Team honorees, and 17 NWC Players of the Year. Wanda Howlett (Cross Country / Track & Field, 19891993) - Howlett was the NAIA Women's Cross Country National Champion in 1989. She's a four-time cross country All-American, and she earned track & field All-American honors in the marathon, 10,000-m run, and 5,000-m run. Howlett still holds the Logger record in the marathon with a time of 2:45.28. She was a key runner during the women's cross country team's national title runs in 1992 and 1993. Jack McGee (Baseball Head Coach, 1965-1978) McGee turned the Puget Sound baseball program into one of the dominant programs across all divisions in the region. He was named the Topps Coach of the Year after the Loggers finished the 1969 season ranked No. 4 in NCAA D-II. His Logger teams didn't just keep pace with D-I opponents. In 1972, the Loggers went 4-0 against Washington while outscoring the Huskies, 23-2. Several of McGee's studentathletes were drafted by MLB teams. McGee posted a career record of 342-152 (.692) with Puget Sound. The Puget Sound Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1966 and is currently comprised of 146 members, along with two teams covering nearly 100 years of Puget Sound's renowned athletics program.

er of a win. It seems rather fitting that these two teams will meet one more time for all the marbles. Wenatchee came from behind in the fourth quarter to defeat the Renton Ravens in the other WWFA semifinal for a 21-17 victory. When a team goes on the kind of run that the Kings had recently put together, it’s easy for fans to get a little laid back thinking their squad is simply going to rip through their opponents like a buzz saw. In the early goings against Bellingham, there was certainly no shortage of worried looks from the Kings faithful as it was becoming clear that Puyallup was going to have to put in some serious work against a formidable opponent. Bellingham opened up the scoring on the third drive of the game with a pick-six interception that covered 21 yards. The cornerback stepped in front of a quick sideline pass and tiptoed into the end-zone untouched. The score was 7-0 Bulldogs with 12:28 remaining in the first quarter. The teams then went back and forth, unable to move the ball against steady defensive pressure, forcing six punts overall. Puyallup would finally hit pay dirt toward the tail end of the first quarter following a 27-yard run by Chris McCutchin, followed by a personal-foul penalty by the Bulldogs that set the Kings up at the Bellingham nine yard line. Kings’ quarterback Adam Kruse would then loft a perfectly timed pass to his left that dropped into the waiting arms of receiver Dashun Salgado. The point after attempt was no good as the Kings tightened the score to 7-6 with 1:03 remaining in the first quarter. Bellingham would bounce back and show their grit with a 61-yard drive that culminated in a oneyard burst up the middle by Brandon Fisher. Bellingham now led 14-6 with 11:33 remaining in the second quarter. It would take Puy-
allup just over one minute to respond as Kruse heaved a long pass downfield that was gathered in by receiver Mike Waller Jr. for a 61-yard score. After a failed two-point conversion, Puyallup now trailed 14-12 with 10:32 remaining in the second quarter. Puyallup’s defense would bend on the next drive before forcing Bellingham into a punt situation. Bellingham’s Jacob Bartel was unable to handle the long-snap and fumbled the ball. Puyallup’s Ktron Barquet and Vikah Lefau made sure he wasn’t able to recover, and the Kings took over on their own 28-yard line. Two plays later, Kruse hit Barquet slashing across the middle. The big receiver cut all the way to the other sideline before turning up field behind several Puyallup blockers and crossed the goal-line untouched. Puyallup had its first lead of the game at 20-14, with 5:56 remaining in the second quarter. Lightning would strike again for the Kings on the ensuing kickoff. Bellingham’s Seth Antila was unable to handle the short, squib kick and the Kings took over possession at the Bulldog's 48-yard line. It would take just three plays for the Kings as Kruse hit a wide-open Pierre Culliver down the middle for a 43-yard touchdown strike. Puyallup now led 28-14 with 4:54 left in the first half. The ball, and momen-
tum, continued to roll the Kings’ way on the next Bellingham drive. Puyallup’s Taylor Smith stepped in front of a pass by quarterback Kyle Redmond and returned the ball to their own 37-yard line. Two plays later, Puyallup struck again as Kruse lofted a pass to the back-corner of the end-zone which proved to be too high for the Bellingham defense, but easily within the range of Barquet, who hauled in his second score. Puyallup now led 36-14 with 3:37 remaining in the first half. After forcing Bellingham into another punt on the ensuing drive, Puyallup took over on their own 26-yard line. Three plays later, Kruse connected with Salgado on a quick pass to the outside that the fleetfooted newcomer turned into a 69-yard touchdown run up the sideline. Puyallup would give away a score in the closing seconds of the second quarter as McCutchin was stripped of the ball in the backfield,
the fourth quarter, highlighted by a third interception by Smith. Salgado would then haul in another touchdown from Kruse and Puyallup was rolling at 62-35 with 7:25 left in the game. With time ticking down to seconds, Bellingham was forced to punt the ball one more time. Waller Jr. picked up the ball at midfield, burst up the sideline, cut into the middle of the field and crossed the goal-line as the scoreboard’s buzzer sounded. It was a tough way to go out for Bellingham, and an equally impressive performance by the Kings.

touchdowns in just over two minutes, and the 48-35 score, with 9:02 remaining in the third quarter, made it look as though it was a new ballgame. After forcing Puyallup to punt on the next possession, Bellingham’s momentum was quickly snuffed out as Taylor Smith hauled in his second interception of the game and returned the ball all the way to the Bellingham 12-yard line. A two-yard blast up the gut by running back Anthony France would then give Puyallup a 54-35 lead with 1:06 left in the third quarter. Puyallup would hold Bellingham to zero points in

only to have Bellingham’s Jason Walters scoop it up and ramble 37 yards for the Bulldog touchdown. The score was 42-21 with 24 seconds remaining in the first half. Instead of taking a knee, Puyallup would look to strike again and it backfired as Kruse was hit and fumbled the ball. Bellingham would have one crack at the end-zone from the Puyallup 20-yard line, but could only muster a couple of yards. A last-second field goal attempt sailed wide left and it would remain 42-21 going into halftime. Puyallup picked up where they left off in the third quarter as Kruse connected with Salgado on a 26-yard pass that seemed to go so high it could have been wet as it dropped into the receiver’s hands just as he crossed the goal-line. The Kings now led 48-21 with 11:06 left in the third quarter. Bellingham would then have their finest stretch of the game, scoring two

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community
PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER
Federal, regional, state and local leaders gathered with the Puyallup Tribal Council last spring to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Joining in on the event were (back row from left): Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon.
The most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians continues 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 3,100 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities – approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native – employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits.
In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 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. From sponsoring local charities, non-profit 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 healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as “the generous people,” the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.” In the following pages, you’ll read more about what a valuable community partner the Puyallup Tribe of Indians is to the region and the state.
STOGIE’S CIGAR AND SPORTS LOUNGE Bringing the finer things in life to the South Sound
A formal grand opening event will be coming soon to Stogie’s, which is enjoying a bustling business already.
The Puyallup Tribe of Indians upped the ante in 2015 on options for going out the town with the opening of Stogie’s Cigar and Sports Lounge at 5402 Pacific Hwy., just off Interstate 5 at Exit 137 in Fife. Sept. 12 was the “soft opening” day and business has been booming ever since. A formal grand opening will be coming in 2016. The Puyallup Tribal Council established Stogie’s as an economic diversification and revenue source as well as enhanced entertainment, as it sits in proximity to the Emerald Queen Casino. Rather than build new from the ground up, the Tribe converted a former Mitzel’s restaurant into the high-end Stogie’s that features a décor of the utmost in taste and comfort, a full-service bar stocked with the finest spirits and a selection of nearly 30 top cigar brands, along with personal humidified lockers available to customers. Stogie’s hosted two major cigar events and its three tobacconists have Master Tobacconist License from the “Perdomo Factory” in Nicaragua.
The friendly staff at Stogie’s is at your service to make your experience there one that will have you coming back again and again.
Stogie’s is also becoming the go-to place to watch sports on any of the 30 large-screen TVs placed throughout the establishment. During Seahawks season, weekly events, like NFL Football Sundays, make for a fun way for fans to gather and cheer on the team. Sports fans also enjoy NBA nights, baseball starting in March and Seattle Sounders soccer matches. This summer, the outdoor area will host barbeques and live music in keeping with the Stogie’s ambience. The sophisticated lunch and dinner menus offer a delicious selection of appetizers and salads. With Stogie’s open to the public for just over four months now, the menus are being revised to focus more on the things that customers like the most. Everything is fresh and locally sourced, with salmon being a specialty. Guests love the Sunday Buffet Style Brunch and Taco Tuesdays, and ideas are being formulated to perhaps add a Military/Martini Monday and Service Industry Night on Sunday/Monday, as a lot of people in the service industry are off on Sundays and
Mondays and look for good bars where they can be waited on for a change. Plus, Stogie’s is one of the few places around anymore where smokers can sit back, relax and enjoy imbibing indoors rather than out on the sidewalk. A highlight of Stogie’s is that it attracts a clientele that reflects the diversity of the area. “Cigar culture is a very close and tightly knit culture,” says general manager Vicki Heckman. “It doesn’t matter what walk of life you’re in or who you are. If you’re a millionaire or lawyer, cop or construction worker, they’ve all got cigars in common.” Stogie’s is also showing itself to be a preferred meeting place to gather and network for local businessmen and women. If you want to take a business client to an upscale place in the South Sound, Stogie’s is it. With a work force of 26 employees, about half of whom are Native American, Stogie’s provides jobs for those who call the South Sound home as well as place where area residents can leave their hectic schedules in the rearview mirror.

NATIVE AMERICANS DO PAY TAXES Indian people pay taxes. They pay most of the same taxes non-Indians pay, and in some cases additional Tribal taxes as well. Indians have a few tax exemptions, just as non-Indians do. The Puyallup Tribe and its members are dramatic examples of these realities. Indian tribes collect taxes that are then sent to the appropriate taxing bodies. The Tribe withholds federal income tax from its employees (who include Puyallup Tribal members, other Indians, and non-Indians), and from the per capita payments it makes to its members.
As federal law provides, the Tribe sends that money to the I.R.S., a total of over $47 million in FY 2015. As an employer, the Tribe pays its share of payroll taxes and withholds payroll taxes from its employees, which is then sent to the Social Security Administration and other government agencies. Those taxes added up to over $20 million in FY 2015. Under the terms of agreements with the State of Washington and local governments, the Tribe collects and pays tax funds to those governments, including
about $11 million to the State of Washington, and over $300,000 to the City of Fife. Unlike all other governments, non-trust land owned by the Puyallup Tribal government is often subject to state and local property taxes. In 2015, the Puyallup Tribe paid over $575,000 dollars in property taxes to state and local governments. The total amount in taxes collected, withheld, or paid to the various governments by the Tribe in FY 2015 was approximately $80 million.

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
acoma Rainiers president Aaron Artman has been losing sleep; but strangely, his stress doesn't stem from fending off the Reno Aces as the summer pennant race heats up or nightmare visions of the Minor League All-Star Game being rained out at Cheney Stadium next year. The thing that has Artman tossing and turning into the wee hours is rock n' roll. Cheney has been the site of a few concerts in recent years, mostly showcases like Hometown Throwdown and Pain in the Grass, put on by Seattle radio stations KKWF-FM (“The Wolf,” 100.7) and KISW-FM (99.9), respectively. But this year, organizers are stepping up efforts to turn Cheney Stadium into a major destination for music as well as baseball. Several hundred are expected to turn out to see Canadian rockers Thousand Foot Krutch there on Saturday as the band headlines Rock and Rally for the Troops, a benefit for Tacoma-based veterans charity, Operation Ward 57. The new R House Concert Series is also slowly gaining traction as it showcases a variety of regional bands with free shows. Then there is the main event: The Cheneyville Music Festival, which will bring indie buzz bands Dawes, Cloud Cult, The Mother Hips and Strand of Oaks to Cheney on Aug. 28. The show is being sponsored and promoted by Seattle taste-maker KEXP-FM (90.3); and Artman sees it as an important gauge for whether the ballpark might one day compete with comparably sized amphitheaters at Redmond's Marymoor Park and Woodinville's Chateau Ste Michelle Winery. “I lose sleep every night about the Cheneyville Music Festival more than I do about anything I do in my normal day job running baseball,” Artman said, half jokingly. “I want it to work. I want it to always be here. I'm passionate about it, and I've convinced a lot of people we should give it a try here. I'm kind of hangin' myself out there, but I think it will pay off at
the end of the day.” He said the Rainiers first seriously contemplated a summer concert series in 2011, the year the team unveiled its $30 million makeover of Cheney Stadium which raised the park's capacity to around 6,500. However, the team had a thing or two to learn about booking rock bands. “Timing and cost were typical obstacles,” Artman said. “A lot of times, we would – being naïve – start thinking about these things in January and February when all of the bands we would have wanted had already started booking their tours. “The other thing we ran into is promoters who wanted to do the traveling baseball shows (featuring) acts on their way down. I don't feel like this is a place, with the way it's branded ... to hear people who are on their way out. I think this should always be a place where people are on their way up, similar to what you see on the field. If we get good at it and get supported enough, we'll keep adding bigger and more popular acts each year.” The Rainiers launched their R House series with little fanfare this summer. Initially, the team enlisted the help of an out-of-town promoter before turning to Jesse Turcotte, the long-time booking agent for Doyle's Public House in Stadium. The R House shows were initially held on the baseball diamond, but have since been moved. “With 50 people standing on a grass ball field, it feels like people waiting for alien abduction,” Turcotte joked. “We've kind of reduced the scope a little bit so that at least you have the opportunity to make it feel like a party. For the next couple, I think we're doing them in the concourse outside of the field. They're hanging bistro lights over the top, putting food trucks around. There's a playground for the kids and a stage set up so that if 300 people show up it'll feel good and packed.” “I think this thing should be a platform for so many other cool things,” Artman said, alluding to the Rainiers' partnership with the City of Tacoma. The team entered into a 30-year lease with the city as part
of the stadium renovation process. “Everybody has skin in this game,” he said, “and to just have this place be a baseball stadium is not doing a service to all the people in Tacoma. They're helping pay for this thing by using it, and they deserve to come out here and do other things, as well.” Here is a list of upcoming concerts at Cheney Stadium, which is located at 2502 S. Tyler St. To provide feedback on who should be booked next, search for “R House Productions” on Facebook. • Rock and Rally for the Troops featuring Thousand Foot Krutch (5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6): 3 Pill Morning, Rain Light Fade and Clear the Chaos will add support during this benefit show for Operation 57 Ward.

ART BUZZ. Andy Art has transfered some of her distinctive paintings to
merchandise that will be for sale at this year's MAWP. The artist will also be live painting at the Aug. 13 festival. BY DAVE R. DAVISON dave@tacomaweekly.com
Since the early 90s, Music and Art in Wright Park (MAWP) has been part of Tacoma’s summertime fun. This year’s edition is slated to take place Aug. 13. While the musical groups are the event’s main draw, visual art has always been an added feature that makes MAWP a little bit different from the your run-of-the-mill music festival. Among the artists and craftsmen participating in the upcoming event are Larkin, Andy Art, and the world-renowned graphic designer Art Chantry. Chantry is best known for his posters, logos and record covers done in conjunction with the bands of the grunge scene during the high tide of cultural efflorescence in the Pacific Northwest. He was the art director of The Rocket, a free newspaper that focused on the Seattle music scene of the 80s and 90s. His work has been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, the Louvre and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is
the winner of a Bronze Lione at the Cannes Festival. His display at MAWP will zero in on his posters. Chantry’s style combines a retro macabre vibe with a DIY nonchalance, assembled in a collage-like fashion. Andy Art’s paintings are poetically exotic, a blend of Asian ornamentation and brilliant color. For MAWP, some of her designs are transferred onto merchandise: coffee mugs, T-shirts, stickers and, perhaps, light switch covers. Larkin’s paintings are at the neo-gothic end of the spectrum. Nightmare creatures with rows of sharp teeth reside alongside amiable cats dressed in the uniforms of decorated sea captains. Dinosaurs wearing bow ties cavort with cute bunny rabbits. There are devils and ghouls along with cutie-pies and classical nudes. Larkin’s paintings are often done on oval panels equipped with elaborate frames. Originally from New York, Larkin now resides here in the City of Destiny. MAWP runs Aug. 13 from noon till 7 p.m. See pages 4 and 5 in this issue of “City Life� for information on some of the musical events.

Crafts of the Past: Tin Whistle Aug. 6 & 7, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Steve Ricketts will demonstrate the tin whistle and similar 19th-century instruments such as the Flageolette and Recorder and explain their similarities and differences. People who bring their own tin whistles will get a primer on how to play. (Whistles can be purchased in the Museum Store). Music has long been a part of Ricketts life.

MUSIC AND ART IN WRIGHT PARK SET FOR AUG. 13 BY ERNEST A. JASMIN
FERNANDEZ: It could have been that. But the original idea was we were gonna tell a different story each time someone asked that question. Like we were named after Emmett Montgomery. DANIELS: Or Eddie Money’s original name was Eddie Montgomery. Anyway, somebody said it and it stuck. Simple as that.
ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
In 2013, the Music and Art in Wright Park festival reunited vocalist Abe Brennan with Gold Records’ guitarist Fred Speakman, his band mate from popular ‘90s punk band My Name. At last year’s festival, Dead Letter Office returned to the stage for the first time since vocalist Dan Stone moved to San Diego in 2001. On Aug. 13, MAWP will again provide a blast from Tacoma’s past when organizers bring Montgomery to the stage at Wright Park. Singer-guitarist Lino Fernandez, guitarist Tony Daniels, bassist Jesse Bynum will team up with drummer Jason Markin, who is filling in for original drummer Jason Burton, who lives in Arizona. We strolled down memory lane with the quartet on Monday night at the Valley Pub after Fernandez, Bynum and Markin performed with their new band, Season of Strangers. TACOMA WEEKLY: I’m pretty sure you’re the first Tacoma band I ever saw, circa 1998 when I lived in Bellingham. DANIELS: It might have been one of the Polecat shows we played. FERNANDEZ: Oh, one of those dorm shows. BYNUM: Gotta love the dorm shows. A lot of the time we were up there because

REUNITED. On Monday, Lino Fernandez (foreground) and Jesse Bynum
performed with their newest band, Season of Strangers. On Aug. 13, they’ll be back onstage with Montgomery, their emo band that gained traction in the 1990s.
Reylan (Fernandez’s brother who plays in local bands the Dignitaries and Little Donuts) was going to school there. TW: So why are you called Montgomery? FERNANDEZ: Kit is a friend of our
original drummer, Jason Burton; and Kit was the one who found Jason for us. BYNUM: Either he saw that sign when you go to Portland that says “Montgomery� (atop the Montgomery Park Building) or it was from Montgomery Elevators.
TW: Where would you rank this band in the pantheon of bands you’ve been in, in various configurations? (Along with Season of Strangers, band members have played in Sons of Ivan, Bandolier and the Dignitaries in recent years.) FERNANDEZ: It’s really important to me because it was my formative years, when I was a teenager. DANIELS: I’ve always held it in high regard. It’s always been my favorite band that I was ever in. TW: So why did you quit? You’re obviously close enough to have played in other bands together. BYNUM: Well, I quit earlier on, probably the year before. Then you guys kept going for about a year with Kris. FERNANDEZ: That was the lone lineup change through years. In ‘99 or 2000 you left the band, then we picked up Kris Peterson for a few years.

Make a Scene
t MAWP From page B1 DANIELS: I was the one who quit. I went back to college to get my degree. FERNANDEZ: You quit? I thought Burton was the one. I can’t remember. DANIELS: I had two kids, and I had to go get a real job. (He laughs.) I had to be a grownup. We did it for eight or nine years, and I think we took it as far as we could. It was just time to do something else. TW: What stands out about the music that you made or the experiences you had with this band? BYNUM: Well, there’s the “Dixon� story, but that’s kind of a bad one. I don’t want to put that into print. (Daniels cracks up. They later tell the story, which relates to one of their signature songs. You don’t wanna know. It’s pretty gross.) FERNANDEZ: When we started to play out more often I was starting college, and I hadn’t heard the word emo till some guy was describing music to me. I was like, “I think my band is emo then because that’s what we sound like.� I wasn’t even familiar with the term until later in the ‘90s. TW: Back when the name still had meaning. FERNANDEZ: Until it was more like pop-punk. It was weird to be on the ground level, in a way, of the early emo years without knowing it was emo in the first place. TW: Before there was a label, what did you think of the music you played? Or what influences went into what you did? BYNUM: Honestly, the biggest influence had to be Dinosaur Jr. That’s these guys’ favorite, and the Cure. FERNANDEZ: The Cure, definitely. DANIELS: Being from Tacoma, I wanted to be like Seaweed. I was just trying to copy Clint and Wade from Seaweed. (He laughs.) And at that time, you had Seattle going gangbusters. FERNANDEZ: Also, I remember all the cool bands we played with. DANIELS: We played with Botch at the Lakewood Community Center. JESSE: That tiny hall, yeah. Some of my favorite shows were the Botch shows.

FERNANDEZ: We played with the Revolutionary Hydra at the Velvet Elvis when Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie) was the bass player. Stuff like that was cool. DANIELS: Playing with My Name was awesome. FERNANDEZ: It was just an awesome time to be in Tacoma. We didn’t even know what we were doing. We only played a handful of times each year. We spent more time recording and writing songs than actually playing shows. DANIELS: We would not play a show for seven months then show up and play an hour set of (stuff) people had never heard. FERNANDEZ: I kind of wish we were more ambitious, trying to get label support or whatever. But we didn’t do any of that. We just played, wrote songs and recorded at good old Uptone Studios in Tacoma. DANIELS: We didn’t know how to play the game, for sure. But we got that demo with Wes, and we sent it to KGRG, KEXP. FERNANDEZ: KCMU back then. DANIELS: Marco (Collins of KNDD-FM, “The Endâ€?) would play it on the locals show on Sundays. That was always cool. And then people started coming to shows. People would start singing songs back to us, and that was always weird. I have very fond memories of what we did. TW: So what prompted the reunion? DANIELS: Jayme (MAWP talent buyer Fisher) asked, “Hey, would Montgomery want to play MAWP this year?â€? I think that night I sent out an email, and almost instantaneously Jesse and Lino were like, “Yep, I’m down.â€? The wild card is Burton ‘cause he’s so busy with work down in Arizona. ‌ He said, “You guys are totally fine. You have my blessing.â€? FERNANDEZ: Jason was down to do it. He actually is old-school Olympia and played in a pretty big

TW: (To Markin) As the new guy, what was your impression coming into the band? MARKIN: I actually said I’ll do it before I listened to it. I love playing music, and I know both of these guys (Fernandez and Bynum) are good musicians. I really hadn’t met Tony before. Then when I heard these guys play together there was no doubt. They clicked like they’d never stopped playing. TW: Earlier, Tony was saying he’s feeling a little pressure now that people remember and have expectations. What about you guys? BYNUM: Well, Tony came into one of the practices talking about all these different people (who said), “Oh yeah, I remember Montgomery from back in the day. You were great.� So now there’s a little bit of pressure building up. DANIELS: I didn’t think anybody cared back then. BYNUM: We had a lot of the same people at the shows, friends and stuff – regulars. We never really thought there was that much vibe about us back then.
