TACOMA RESCUE MISSION’S LIGHTHOUSE TO BE REMOVED

FUTURE OF LIGHTHOUSE RESTS ON LEGAL DISPUTE WITH SOUND TRANSIT By Derek Shuck Derek@tacomaweekly.com

or those in need of a light in the darkness, the lighthouse outside Tacoma Rescue Mission’s men’s housing facility, located at 425 S. Tacoma Way, has been a beacon of hope. Now, that symbol may be temporarily taken down due to structural failings. For the first 12 years of the current Rescue Mission building's existence, wear and tear was par for the course.

Since 2011, a corner of the dining room

has sunken by five inches, and the rescue mission claims the establishment of a commuter rail line by Sound Transit behind the building is responsible. In the

latest round of engineering checkups, the Rescue Mission discovered that the lighthouse was also shifting, and with that comes some unfortunate consequences. “For the safety of our folks, we’ve had to continue to monitor the effect of this on the building. In the latest round of structural engineer inspections two months ago, we found out this lighthouse is leaning, and in its leaning it’s straining its earthquake straps,” executive director Mike Johnson said. “Because the lighthouse is pulling against the straps, if there’s an earthquake the straps are u See LIGHTHOUSE / page A6

INCUMBENTS LEAD IN EARLY ELECTION RETURNS CHECK WWW.PIERCECOUNTYELECTIONS.ORG FOR BREAKING ELECTION INFO By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The field of candidates for Tacoma City Council got smaller following Tuesday’s primary election. Council incumbent Anders Ibsen has a solid lead over his challengers for his Proctor-centered District 1 seat, with 47.30 percent of the vote against 23.49 percent going to Tara Doyle-Enneking and 28.86 percent to John Hines in early election returns. Only the top two vote getters will move on to the Nov. 3 general election. With only about 16 percent of the ballots counted, the 5 percent margin between Hines and Doyle-Enneking

could change. Hines was endorsed by every current City Council member, except Ibsen and Ryan Mello. The only other contested council seat on the primary ballot was Lauren Walker’s district that encompasses Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood. She is not allowed to seek another term because of the city’s term limits. Leading the seven-candidate pack in her open seat is Tom McCarthy with 26.48 percent of the vote. His closest challenger is Justin Leighton with 20.55 percent of the vote, while Walker-endorsed Keith Blocker trails closely behind him with 19.30

Lawmakers came within four days of doubling their time crafting laws in Olympia, with a regular 90-day followed by three special sessions that totaled 176 days. It was the longest legislative session in state history. “For the length of time, it was a fairly successful legislative session,” Government Relations Office’s Randy Lewis said while briefing the City Council on the session in regard to the city’s legislative agenda. “… There are a lot of bills passed that affect Tacoma.” Highlights from Lewis’ 52-page legislative roundup include the $1.3 billion funding boost to state public education that was part of the State Supreme Court’s u See HISTORY / page A9

General Services building is in doubt following an advisory vote Tuesday.

VOTERS SEEM SOURED BY COUNTY HUB PLANS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The seemingly ever twisting path toward the possible construction of a $230 million general services building of Pierce County offices on the site of the former Puget Sound Hospital on Tacoma’s Pacific Avenue hillside apparently doesn’t sit well with county voters who were asked to side in on the issue with an advisory vote on the primary election ballot Tuesday. Voter counts in early returns Tuesday night had 56.24 percent of ballots drawing a line for a “no” vote on whether the county should proceed with plans to u See COUNTY HUB / page A7

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

35th and Gunnison

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

CALL TO ARTISTS ISSUED FOR LINCOLN REVITALIZATION PROJECT The City of Tacoma invites artists and/or artist teams who reside in Oregon, Washington state, or British Columbia to submit qualifications for a $210,000 commission to create permanent public artworks that will act as gateways to the Lincoln Business District.

The selected artist will have experience working with diverse cultural communities and be successful creating aesthetically strong artwork that results from meaningful community engagement. “We are excited to get an artist involved to engage the community in a meaningful way resulting in artwork that will contribute to the identity and sense of place in the Lincoln District,” said Tacoma Arts Administrator Amy McBride. The application deadline is 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 8. The development of the Lincoln Business District and neighborhood is one of the Tacoma City Council’s strategic focuses.

DISCOVER TACOMA’S THEATER DISTRICT IN NEW BOOK Telling a story in pictures is “Tacoma’s Theater District,” the newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular “Images of America” series. The book, by local author Kimberly M. Davenport, is set to release on Sept. 7. The book boasts 198 vintage images, many of which have never been published, and showcases memories of days gone by. The history of Tacoma’s Theater District is nearly as long as that of the city of Tacoma itself, spanning from the opening of the Tacoma Theater in 1890 to the present day, with restored historical facilities anchoring a renewed cultural district. This telling of the district’s history reflects a range of engaging topics, including the boundless enthusiasm of the initial residents of Tacoma (the “City of Destiny”), the changing ways in which culture was shared and experienced over the decades of the 20th century, and a community working together through difficult times to save and restore historical buildings as gathering spaces for the benefit of future generations. The story is told through historical photographs of the theater venues themselves, as well as images capturing a myriad of cultural and community events taking place in those facilities and in the surrounding district. Highlights of “Tacoma’s Theater District” include: During the silent film era, the largest film production space outside Hollywood was in Tacoma: H.C. Weaver Productions. Tacoma was once home to a theater with the largest stage on the West Coast. It was during a showing of Hitchcock’s The Birds that the Music Box Theater, formerly the Tacoma Theater, was lost to fire.

FIRCREST POLICE SEEK ID OF TEEN SUSPECT WHO ATTACKED WOMAN By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted Q13 Fox

The Fircrest Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a teenage boy who attacked DAVID ROSE a 22-year-old woman while she was walking the family dog last Sunday. The victim is a host student who is staying with a Fircrest family. Police say she was grabbed from behind, forced to the ground in the 1500 block of Cottonwood Road. When she asked what the

suspect wanted, he grabbed his crotch and groped himself. “Someone’s gotta keep an eye out for a 13- to 14-year-old boy who walks around alone, snoops in people's gardens and attacks girls he doesn't know,” said the victim’s host mother who talked about the attack as long as she stayed anonymous for their safety. She says the teen had knocked on the door of their home before claiming he had the wrong house. “This is the infancy. Is he gonna get more brazen as he goes and next time what's he gonna do?” she asked. Chief John Cheesman fears that while the suspect may be

young, his actions could escalate. “So brazen, it’s still daylight out and he feels confident that he can get away with this and that’s what bothers me. What’s next? I don't want there to be a next.” A police sketch artist worked with the victim on a composite drawing. Detectives are hoping someone in the area knows his name. Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to his arrest. If you recognize the teen in the sketch or have any information on who the suspect might be, call the hotline anonymously at 1 (800) 222-(TIPS)

‘HATE WON'T WIN’

WITH SOME REAL WORK ON OUR PART, IT CAN BE MORE THAN A SLOGAN By Paul Pastor Pierce County Sheriff

I spent some time last Sunday at the Bethlehem Baptist Church at an event sponsored by the Tacoma Ministerial Alliance and others. The event was PAUL PASTOR called the "Hate Won't Win" Challenge. It was an outgrowth of the murder of nine people at the Charleston, SC Emanuel AME Church and victims’ families’ reaction to their loss. You may remember the event: nine people, including three clergy, were killed by a young racial terrorist bent on starting a race war. Here was my reaction at the time: "If we wish to see racism in its purest form, we need look no farther than the events at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston last night. Disgust, contempt and anger are the appropriate reactions to the murder of nine people gathered in prayer.” But then, in the aftermath of this mass murder, something totally extraordinary happened. At the arraignment hearing for the murderer, family members of the victims stood up, condemned the act and then went on to express forgiveness to the shooter. Forgiveness. Now that takes some kind of grit: more grit than I think I have. Fast forward to Sunday at Bethlehem Baptist in Tacoma. Addressing those in attendance were Alana and Ava Simmons. They are two young adult granddaughters of victim Rev. Daniel Simmons. They were among the people willing to express for-

giveness to the perpetrator of the atrocity. And at Bethlehem Baptist, they spoke to members of our community. They explained why they chose the difficult path of forgiveness. They claimed it was because they saw it as the single most powerful weapon to counter the evil that was shown to them. And then they threw down a moral challenge. The challenge was (1) for each of us to examine our own attitudes, ideas and conduct, and root out bits of hatred we may find and (2) for each of us to call out hate and stand against it when we see it. Now, I tend to be somewhat cynical, so I know that this may well sound overly idealistic. But Alana and Ava Simmons are not starry-eyed people speaking theoretically about how hate is a "bad thing." These two young women recently suffered a deep loss. They admitted that the approach they took was counter-intuitive. They said it was not their first inclination. But, in the terrible, painful aftermath of murder, they joined with other families determined to see that "hate won't win." They took a central component of Christian belief and actually applied it in the real world. I spoke to those gathered at the church. I noted that I work with men and women in the Sheriff's Department who regularly deal with complex, dangerous situations and who often show courage and moral strength. But I told the two Simmons sisters that their courage and their strength and that of the other victims’ family members who offered forgiveness and foreswore hatred –

their courage and their strength – humbled me and humbled many people that I know. "Hate won't win." That was the message. It is a pretty radical idea. It means we should forego hate when much of what is inside of us leans toward righteous anger. I know the anger part. I know it from when my brother was shot. I know it when I see victims of terrible violent crimes. “Hate won't win.” A simple phrase. But tough to put into practice. "Hate won't win." It has lots of applications in America today. Perhaps we could start by applying it to on-going personal disputes. And then we could extend it into our political discourse and tone down over-heated rhetoric about liberals hating conservatives and conservatives hating liberals. It certainly deserves to be applied to America’s complex racial divide: all of the mistrust and resentment and derogation of “those other people.” Perhaps we can also apply it at the street level so gang members stop targeting one another and targeting their communities. Perhaps we in law enforcement could look within and rededicate ourselves to the hard task of doing justice and undoing injustice. And finally, we might apply it to stop violent rhetoric against police and attacks on law enforcement officers. "Hate won't win." With some real work on our part, can be more than a slogan. Even if we lack the strength for courageous forgiveness, we all have something to gain from undermining hate.

A man on a motorcycle who lead police on a high-speed chase through Pine street on July 17 decided his heart really wasn’t in it. After an officer decided to try and pull over the rider because he wasn’t wearing a helmet, the daredevil decided to weave through cars to try and avoid the officer, speeding up along the way. The police officer gave chase, but decided it would be too risky to follow the motorcycle at high speeds once the rider turned into a residential neighborhood. Luckily, the rider came to a similar conclusion and simply stopped a little way down the road and waited for the officer. When the two finally made contact, the rider claimed he had made a mistake, and it soon became evident just how big it was. Not only was he not wearing a helmet, he had an expired license and his bike had no functioning brake light or license plate. The man was issued a citation for reckless driving and various infractions. If you’re thinking about redecorating, make sure you check with your landlord to see if any major changes are okay, especially if your plans entail spray-painting your front door pink. A resident of a 47th Street apartment building on July 11 didn’t make the necessary calls, and police arrived on the scene when he refused to stop working. They quickly discovered that a home remodel wasn’t his only problem, as several previous warrants existed for his arrest. He was transported to Pierce County Jail. Compiled by Derek Shuck

Our View

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;HATE WONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; KICKOFF SENDS A MESSAGE TO ALL OF US Bumperstickers and T-shirts with the slogan "Teach Tolerance" sprung up a generation ago with the albeit naively hopeful idea that minds and hearts would change with awareness about the struggles of racial, religious and sexual minorities. But it was sadly seen as a revolutionary proposition -- the idea of "tolerating" people who look differently, pray differently and love differently than the mainstream ways. It was a time, way back in the 1990s, when no state allowed gay marriage and the fight to roll back affirmative action programs was bubbling up. It wasn't for another decade after the movement started that homosexuality stopped being a crime in the last 14 holdout states that had sodomy laws in their legal books. And that told a Supreme Court decision in 2003. The nation, at least in a legal sense, is moving toward "tolerating" diverse people and views. But we should seek more. The ideal society is not a place where people simply "tolerate" people or even resign themselves to "accept" them as if people with different ideas of how best to live were little more than objects to accept like getting flu shots to avoid getting sick or paying power bills to keep the lights from flickering off. No one likes getting a shot in the arm or writing checks to utility companies, but they "accept" them as better than the alternatives of spending a week in bed or using candles to light the darkness. We should appreciate each other for our diverse views, beliefs and life journeys. We aren't there yet. And we likely never will, frankly, since it seems to be part of the human condition to define ourselves with "us" and "them" labels. But we can't stop striving for the ideal. Tacoma has taken a lead role, at least symbolically at this point, in that national struggle by being the first city to accept the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hate Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Winâ&#x20AC;? challenge. The growing national movement officially launched in Tacoma on Sunday thanks to the family of slain Charleston murder victim Daniel L. Simmons, Sr. at Charleston's iconic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Rather than cry for vengeance, the family of the slain victims openly forgave him just days after the attack. Far too few people can say they would show such grace following an unimaginable tragedy. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hate Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Winâ&#x20AC;? effort challenges community members to move past just being silently frustrated and defeated by acts of intolerance, bigotry and rage around the nation and to take action, however large or small, to be part of the solution rather than just bystanders of the many faces of injustice. If you are wondering what work individual Tacomans have to do in this national struggle, look no further than our own streets. It was just in February, for example, when a woman was brutally attacked, repeatedly stabbed and then choked her with a dog leash while she was looking for her lost dog outside her house. The man attacked her simply because he thought she was gay. Her attacker further degraded her by scrawling homophobic slurs on her body with a permanent marker and reportedly taunting her by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you a dyke? God hates fags.â&#x20AC;? This is not the city we should "accept."

ReflectionS on the imPoRtAnce of the electoRAl PRoceSS By Harold Moss [Note to readers from the author: I wrote this piece on the eve of the 2008 election, and I share it now because of the significance I sense coming as all of us see ourselves involved in the process. When our youth see themselves in governance, we all prosper. This election season is rich with willing citizens participating in the process of making our communities more livable, more inclusive, less divisive and over all welcoming. I am personally proud of those who are willing to step up to the challenges. I share this in 2015 as an affirmation from the 2008 General Election for president of these United States of America. My optimism is strengthened.] In a meeting the other day someone asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moss, where are you going to be on election night? Where are you going to party, to celebrate the Obama victory?â&#x20AC;? He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine you sitting home on that night. The governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race is too tight to count. The Pierce County Executiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race is going to be decided by a new and untried Ranked Choice system. The Washington State Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race could be won by one of our own and there are lots of significant ballot issues to be decided. Where are you going to be on election night?â&#x20AC;? I replied that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. I had thought about it and have been invited to join friends at the Labor Council, as well as to parties hosted by candidates I support, but I did not know at the moment. Today, which may be one of the last warm sunny days of this summer, I started

cleaning out the garage and I wandered back to the question of where I would be on election night. Senator Barack Husain Obama, an African American, could become president of the United States of America. Where do I want to be on that night? I remembered where I was when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed and John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy and Malcolm X and Medgar Evers and the destruction of the Twin Towers. I had no control over where I would be when all of these horrific events occurred but I remember where I was. Now, when I know the date and am fully anticipating the most awesome event in my lifetime, I had made no plans on where I would be on that night. I stopped sweeping, because an image of my father was forming in my mind and I knew how unbelievable this night would have been for him. He was such a believer in the innate ability of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Negro,â&#x20AC;? as he called us then. How proud he would have been at the prospect of an African American President. The fantasy really moved into full swing as I imagined my father and me joined by a host of ordinary black people from his generation, people who in their lifetimes had been called niggers routinely or colored folk with equal ease. Some field hands, maids, laborers, teachers and porters, hard working, church going, children raising ordinary people. All of them Americans, although mostly treated as second-class citizens. And there will also be a host of white people from my generation, ordinary people, who were supportive of equal rights for all people even when the civil rights movement was neither

popular nor safe for them. They had cast their lot with ours and they too had joined us to bear witness to our common faith that this day or one like it would come. This is, without a doubt, a defining moment in the history of our country for all of us. This moment demands to be remembered. I should be able to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was at home in front of my television when it was confirmed that Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden will be the next President and Vice President of the United States of Americaâ&#x20AC;?. I should be able to recall that I was among family and friends who had shared the long and often harsh journey with me to this time and to this historical place. That I was among people who could remember the past but who were ready to live even more productive lives in the future. I will remember where I was on the night of Nov. 4 no matter where that place might be. Praying that God will continue to bless America and all of her people, Harold G. Moss, waiting in historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wings, 2008. Harold G. Moss was the first AfricanAmerican mayor of Tacoma, the first African American on the Tacoma City Council and the first African-American on the Pierce County Council. He served two terms as branch president of the Tacoma NAACP, served on Tacoma's first Human Relations Commission (later Human Rights Commission), and in 1968 he helped create the Tacoma Urban League and played a key role in securing public funding for its Urban Services Center.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, I found this in Facebook, decided to share: PLEASE READ AND SHARE!!! Put your car keys beside your bed at night. Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime. P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem. This may save a life! Mark Latham Tacoma, WA Dear Editor, (Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health Department says think twice about e-cigs,â&#x20AC;? Tacoma Weekly, July 31) Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, Pierce County, think again! As someone that not only owns and operates a retail vapor shop and successful, internationally distributed e-liquid company, it pains me to see the levels to which our elected officials will go to line the pockets of the General Fund! This $85,000 campaign to demonize e-cigarettes and its users only shows what lengths officials will go to keep tobacco money coming in. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget the $4.5 billion Washington was awarded in the Master Settlement Agreement. I know the state screams youth prevention as though it is sounding the battle cry for war. But truth of the matter is that during the 2015 legislative session the state proposed an initial 95 percent then 65 percent to 45 percent tax on all e-liquid products. This was in the hopes to reach a

projected $128 million in new tax revenue. Of that projected $128 million, 90 percent went to the general fund, leaving 10 percent earmarked for youth prevention. There was an additional 0 percent set aside to recoup medical costs on something deemed so dangerous that they are willing to spend 85k on billboards and pamphlets and fear mongering. Youth prevention is in fact a very important issue for the whole community at large. So much so, that it was Kim Thompson, owner of The Vaporium, that solicited the Pierce County Health Department in March of 2011 to institute policy making it illegal to sell to minors. And with very little effort on the part of Health Dept. officials, they would understand what the true thoughts and intentions of business owners are. I, like many owners, pride myself on the integrity of this industry as a whole. That said, there are those that like to skirt the edges of the law and bring shame to themselves and their business. And they should feel the brunt of law should they choose to act without integrity. The state also cries foul on the marketing front, claiming that we, the shop owners, are marketing directly to youth. I have yet to see any red haired clowns, value packs or even knee level colorful posters that would entice a child to be interested in these products. What I do see are companies creating an industry where 99.9 percent of the consumers still enjoy the taste of watermelon, strawberry and, yes, bubblegum. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget that Smirnoff just came out with Pop Tart flavored vodka. I also take offense to the fact about the state screaming foul upon the industry during session this year, claiming we used deceptive tactics by offering discounts to those that would call their state rep in opposition. But during a county fair on July 31, 2015, the Health Dept. set up a booth with games and prizes aimed directly at children to sway decision in their favor. The hypocrisy runs deep in the state of Washington. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the truth of the matter: Ask any shop owner, e-liquid manufacturer or adult user and they will gladly chew your ear off with their story of success and what it has done for them and what it means to their family that they quit smoking through vaping. I firmly believe and you can ask just about anybody â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regulation is not what we fear, but welcome. But smart, educated and reasonable regulation is the answer here. I would expect nothing less from any elected official than to educate themselves on any subject that could have sweeping implications to a new industry. Do we as Vapers need to respect our fellow man and their rights to not be invaded with vape? Yes is the answer to that. But do we as shop owners, industry leaders and job creators deserve the right to provide a service to the public in a setting made for it? Yes is also the answer. In the words of Kim Thompson, we are here to help, and our best customers are the ones who QUIT US! Christopher L. Hendricks Owner, Vapor Cafe/Stache Sauce Tacoma, WA

LOCAL TEACHER OFFERS SOLUTIONS FOR CHILDREN WITH DYSLEXIA METHODS PIONEERED BY DR. DONALD LYMAN WORK WONDERS By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

For a lot of children, back-toschool is a time for excitement, learning new things and experiencing what it means to succeed. Getting an “A” on a test, a pat on the back ENID DUNCAN from a teacher for a job well done and seeing the pride in their parents’ eyes not only boosts children’s self-confidence but also the feeling within themselves that they are smart and capable people. However, this is not the case for every young student – in fact, quite the opposite is true for children with learning differences like dyslexia. School becomes a nightmare for them and their families who struggle right alongside their son or daughter to the point of desperation and despair. Being placed in special education classes can often make matters worse if the child continues to struggle, as there is often nowhere else left to go. This was the brick wall that local mom Enid Duncan faced with her son Anthony when he was a typical grade school kid trying to keep up with his peers in education. He languished in special education classes and efforts failed to find out why Anthony could read only at a kindergarten level when he was 10 years old. He was given assessment tests, was seen by specialists and was even told he needed medications but no answers were found, and Anthony’s behavior was getting worse due to the frustration and dead-ends. He thought of himself as “stupid,” and this greatly upset his mom and his dad, Ed Duncan, who himself is dyslexic. “They told me your son is retarded and he’s not going to learn,’” Enid said, adding that Anthony was also labeled with “learning disabled” and “intellectually deficient,” among other terms assigned to him by those from whom Duncan sought help. “That was given to my son. I never saw him as a disabled person. I saw him as a person with many gifts and talents but when it came to the correlation between letters and words he wasn’t able to capture them.” Finding no solutions in public and

RESULTS. Dr. Donald Lyman, seen here working with one of his students, has helped many dyslexic children excel in reading and writing.

private school, and two years at a Seattle school for dyslexia, the Duncan family felt they were at the end of their rope. It wasn’t until Anthony was 11 years old that Enid learned of Dr. Donald Lyman and the great success he was having with severely dyslexic children through his innovative program at the Alliance Academy of Central Florida. Dyslexic himself, Lyman dropped out of school at a young age. He taught himself how to read and write using a series of “tricks” he developed himself. These “tricks” enabled him to enroll in Catholic University where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1957. He then earned his doctorate in education at Columbia University. Within six months of attending Lyman’s academy, Anthony excelled from reading at a 1st-grade level to a 6th-grade level. His scores went up in all subjects and he passed the WASL as well. It turned out that physical body movement like hand gesturing and handwaving letter strokes or walking the letter shapes on the floor, coupled with verbal activities, proved to be a more effective method in helping Anthony and other students to learn their letters and to read. This is at the basis of Lyman’s teachings and practices and it has helped countless children over the years.

But how does movement help? In her Master’s thesis titled “Ending Struggles with Learning Differences” Duncan explains how the brain can be re-trained to change the lives of children with dyslexia: “People’s brain changes during their life spans, enriching and creating new neural networks; that process is called brain plasticity. Recently, scientists discovered that the hippocampus can in fact grow new neurons. The neurons make more interconnections for a more profound thinking ability. In essence, we can ‘design our own brain.’ The brain is plastic and responsive to input. …Movement, coupled with verbal activities, is an excellent way to accelerate the skills of reading and spelling. …Teaching using movement creates an emotionally positive outcome by making use of the brain’s plasticity in creating more neural connections and more neurons in the hippocampus.” Duncan, who holds a Masters in Education, devoted much time to studying in-depth with Lyman such that before his passing in 2007 he permanently certified her to teach his program. “It’s not a disability. I believe, and my research shows, that the brain has decided to do something crazy and different and fun or whatever you want to call it – it’s just different.”

She has many letters from grateful parents who were desperate to find help for their children. A key success story is Ashley, a student in Florida who was 12 years old but reading at a kindergarten level. Under Duncan’s tutelage for one year, Ashley moved up to reading and writing at a 6th-grade level. “You know how she learned to write this way? Dancing,” Duncan asserted. Parent Michelle Moore wrote of her two children Jessica and Cameron. “We had to rescue Jessica in the third grade and prove to her that she was not dumb and she could learn. Over the years she had become a very shy girl with no confidence, and since being helped with your program she has blossomed into a confident young lady. Yes, 5th-grade Jessica is a far cry from the kindergartener who insisted with crying, screaming tantrums that tracing letters was too hard. She now loves to both read and write.” Of Cameron she wrote: “Enid, he is performing at the top of his class for reading! He even tests at the top. He earned all 3’s (demonstrating proficiency of the standard at this time) in his 2nd trimester report card. After finding success with you he behaves well in kindergarten and earns 3’s in effort too.” For student Jesus Salgado, he went from a 2nd-grade to a 6th-grade reading level in less than 10 months, earning him an “Academic Excellence Award” from his school. A teacher, Mrs. Mello, of Holy Family Catholic School, who has been teaching for 21 years, wrote to Ducan, “What a wonderful way to teach through movement! Children need to move! This program is remarkable for teaching letters, sounds and proper formulation of letters. Wow, you should see my 4-year-olds! They are reading sentences off the board and they love it!” Frances Hagan, field supervisor at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville’s College of Education, wrote: “…Lyman’s techniques work. We have used them for two years from 1st-grade through adults and there is not a single person that this program has not helped.” These are just some of the testimonials Duncan has received, including this from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn: “I have personally talked to a few of Enid’s students who had major u See DYSLEXIA / page A7

LiFe expectAncy in tAcomA Linked to income By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Life expectancy rates of Tacomans varies by as much as 20 years, and the key factor is income. “That’s phenomenal,” City Council member Marty Campbell said. “Not in a good way.” Tuesday's Tacoma City Council study session included a presentation by the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department on health patterns and challenges around the county, with specific information about statistics drawn from Tacoma neighborhoods. As a whole, Pierce County ranks among the bottom on overall health around the state, with rates of adult obesity, cancer, housing conditions, sexually transmitted

infections and access to healthy food worse than most other counties in Washington. The city, however, ranks better on access to parks, teen pregnancy and access to fresh water. “Different pieces of data tell us different stories,” TPCHD Health Equity Coordinator Jacques Colon said. An overall trend in those pieces of data shows a strong tie between the median income of a neighborhood and the overall health and life expectancy of its residents. People struggling with poverty, statistically speaking, have poorer health than people with higher incomes due to higher rates of smoking and lower housing conditions. People in poverty also have higher rates of obesity borne from eating less healthy food because of the higher costs often associated with

more healthy options and the lack of ready access to fresh food options found in higher-income neighborhoods. Large parts of Tacoma are “food deserts,” where people must travel for miles to grocery stores. “It is not cheap to eat healthy,” Mayor Marilyn Strickland said. But those food choices, ultimately, affect health and life expectancy. “While some people enjoy good health, there is significant variation across neighborhoods in Tacoma,” according to a staff report on the issue. “Creating a healthier Tacoma will require collective action by residents, businesses and government to address social and economic issues and inequities.” Health Department off icials recommended the city take an active

already stressed and they can’t be counted on to keep it from falling over.” The lighthouse will be taken down this month and stored on the other side of the building and will hopefully be put back when the Rescue Mission can be repaired, pending a legal dispute with Sound Transit that will determine who is responsible for the repairs. “We’re hopeful this stuff with Sound Transit will work itself out. They’re not bad folks, it’s just a process that has to work itself out. In the meantime, it’s just a bummer,” Johnson said. The Rescue Mission has several establishments across Tacoma, with the South Tacoma Way location being one of the busiest, and the sinking structure of the building doesn’t bode well for an already over-crowded service. “We’ve outgrown our shelter capacity of 65 people. We’re regularly sheltering 100 people a night. I’m convinced that the rescue mission and the work the organization does is important, not just to the impoverished but the whole community. This stuff affects everyone whether they realize it or not.” Johnson said. “If there were 150 new homeless people downtown all of a sudden, everyone would notice instantly. Making sure there is a safe place for them to be is a community interest for everyone.” The lighthouse coming down is hitting the mission hard, but originally it wasn’t designed to be with the building in the first place. It was the search for a symbol that led to the construction of the tower. “The director at the time, Mike Lonergan who is now the Pierce County Assessor, just really felt like something was missing. It’s the message the building itself needed to say something to folks. It needed to say ‘hope’ somehow, and nothing says hope to people lost in the dark like a lighthouse,” Johnson said. “The purpose is to give light to folks who are stumbling in a very dark time.”

role in addressing those issues by adding a health-impact assessment on every decision much like the City Council already has for financial impacts of potential new policy. Everything from zoning changes to the priorities of where and when the city spends dollars on street improvements have health implications, TPCHD Director Anthony Chen said. Since income is so tied with one’s health, economic development decisions and wage policies also have public health ramifications, for example. Adding a health assessment to each city policy would raise awareness of the holistic nature of health rather than simply a matter of social services and specific health programs. “This is where the rubber hits the road,” Chen said.

‘FORBES’ NAMES UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND

A TOP 20 ENTREPRENEURIAL COLLEGE

niversity of Puget Sound is turning out entrepreneurs at such rate that a leading U.S. business magazine has named it one of the “Top 20 Most Entrepreneurial Colleges” in the country. A new analysis by “Forbes” magazine selected 50 colleges and 50 universities that it deemed to have the most impressive track records for graduating students who become entrepreneurs. The rankings are based on the total number of graduates who identify themselves as founders and business owners on networking site LinkedIn, divided by the school’s student body. Puget Sound is the only college in the Pacific Northwest named in the top 20 college list, and it is one of only two Washington State institutions named among the top 100 colleges and universities (the other is University of Washington). The lists will appear in the Aug. 16 issue of “Forbes.” Puget Sound’s success in this realm may be partly due to its special programs and opportunities emphasizing entrepreneurial skills and thinking. But more importantly, the college believes it arises from a liberal arts educational experience that encourages students to think creatively, to critically assess ideas and opportunities, and to pursue initiatives to the utmost of an individual’s potential. Many prestigious liberal arts colleges appear in the top 50 college list – a list which also includes professional schools and small research universities. The Puget Sound campus has a long legacy of high-achieving alumni. Some of the younger entrepreneurs – several of them recently in the news – include Jesse Proudman, who just sold his Blue Box cloud computing business to IBM; Nicolas Cary, cofounder of Bitcoin currency business Blockchain; Ryan Payton, who launched video games innovator Camouflaj; Jordan Hanssen and Greg Spooner BA, DPT, OAR Northwest rowing expeditions executives; Billy Smith, cofounder of recreational firm Sporting-Sails; Dan Abrams, a founder of FlyLow

Gear ski apparel and equipment; Brett Veerhusen, cofounder of The Real Alaska media production company, and Benjamin Anderstone, partner of consultancy Progressive Strategies NW. One campus program that prepares students for an entrepreneurial career is the Business Leadership Program, which offers an unusual blend of academic coursework in business with liberal arts studies. Directed by Professor Nila Wiese, it involves a cohort of up to 25 selected students each year in mentorships, job shadowing, internships, business networking, field trips, and business lectures, as well as studies of business fundamentals. The Tacoma Entrepreneur Network (TEN) is another novel resource, launched in 2011 by Associate Professor of Business and Leadership Lynnette Claire. The network holds many events each year for students from local colleges and universities, involving them in business plan and start-up competitions, company field trips, and networking dinners with local entrepreneurs. A new initiative expected to encourage yet more students to take pioneering career routes is the “experiential education” effort backed by the Mellon Foundation. Students will be offered the tools and advice to integrate

“real-world” learning into their four years of education from a menu of existing and new programs, while faculty advisors and Career and Employment Services will get extra support in helping students incorporate compatible experiences into their academic programs. Students also can take classes in entrepreneurship through the School of Business and Leadership. There are clubs such as the Puget Sound Investment Club and Puget Sound Marketing Group, and students can take part in Four Horsemen Investments, a hands-on, philanthropic 501(c) (3) organization for practicing peer-to-peer lending, led by Professor Lynda Livingston. Graduates who complete their four years at Puget Sound having gained the skills and mindset of entrepreneurs also benefit from the campus community’s deeprooted emphasis on higher education as something that students “do,” not that they “get.” The campus is replete with opportunities to take leadership roles, to build creative and supportive relationships, to undertake independent research, and to gain knowledge spanning numerous disciplines – allowing graduates to apply their knowledge in ways that may surprise, and that often inspires, others in their field.

build the structure that would eventually house some 1,000 county workers currently in leased offices around Tacoma. Some 43.76 percent said the county should continue with plans as scheduled. Only 15.89 percent of the ballots had been counted by press time. A second vote, a binding one, is also in the works for the Nov. 3 general election ballot as well after a group of residents gathered enough signatures to put a referendum on the issue on the ballot. The council-initiated vote Tuesday was not binding. It is simply an advisory vote to the County Council, which has been split on the issue, with an initial split-vote approval followed by a council call for an advisory vote and court challenges at every step since the plans formalized last year. The idea of a central location for county services has been in the works for years, driving by the county’s effort to shed rising lease costs and avoid costly renovations of aging buildings. Top among them is the former department store turned Pierce County Annex. Critics of the proposed building have said the cost is too high – largely through the 30-year, lease-to-own financing scheme, which has gained popularity for government buildings because it avoids the need for bonds. County officials have countered that the deal actually saves money when compared to lease and repair projections of the current buildings and frees up money for other county programs. Ballot counts will be updated periodically through Aug. 18, when the election results will be certified. Updated counts are available at the Pierce County Auditor’s election web page at www.piercecountywa.org.

difficulty reading. They were diagnosed with dyslexia and through hard work and Enid’s teaching they were all able to make multiple grade-level improvement over several months.” To help get Lyman’s teaching methods utilized by more educators and school districts, Duncan offers instructional classes for teachers. Last month she partnered with Florida teacher Jackie Miteff, whose son benefited greatly from applying Lyman’s methods. He was not dyslexic, but had other issues with attention and writing. “They tried to label him as Asperger’s (Syndrome) because it looked like he wasn’t interacting with anything,” Miteff said. After seeing how Lyman’s program was changing the lives of pre-schoolers, Miteff asked him to train her for working with older students because she wanted to help her son. Then she held an after-school program with 12 older youth. Miteff said that after working with these students, her son’s physical and occupational therapist asked her what she was doing differently because he was “finally getting things,” Miteff said. “Things were starting to click with this kid, and suddenly his favorite thing was expressing himself through writing and he won awards for his writing. He went into middle school with no difficulties.” In Washington State, the number of students in Special Education stands at approximately 130,000. Duncan said she is determined to change this, and she has met with legislators, school districts and individual teachers to help instill Lyman’s teachings in schools. Miteff advocates for the program as well. “I’ve met a lot of public school teachers with dyslexic kids and they don’t know what to do with them,” she said. “A lot of the kids get stuck in a system that’s not really helping them because of the decisions of the professionals,” Duncan said. “And I’m not blaming anybody. It’s going to take people with an open mind to accept the research and Dr. Lyman’s work continues to be researched. I believe in goodness, and I believe that together we can get there.” To learn more, contact Duncan at (253) 334-0296 or enid.duncan@ gmail.com.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT REDUCES RISKS FOR TEENS IN CARS The bad news: Young, inexperienced teen drivers are involved in more serious crashes than other drivers. Many teen drivers are more likely to be involved in a crash at night, when using a cell phone or when carrying passengers. The good news: Parents who insist their teen drivers follow the special conditions that come with a new license reduce the risk for their child. New tools are available that parents can use to make sure teens follow the law and drive safely. Car crashes are a lead-

ing cause of death among teens in Washington. Between 2009 and 2013, 179 teens ages 15-19 died in car crashes. Of these teen deaths, 102 were drivers and the rest were passengers. The death rate for passengers and drivers in cars is ten times greater for teens (ages 15-19) than younger children (5.1 deaths per 100,000 people compared to 0.5 deaths per 100,000 people, respectively). Many traffic-related deaths of teens under 18 are linked to violations of the Intermediate Driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Licensing (IDL) law. The IDL law has special provisions to keep teens safe, including restrictions on nighttime driving, limits on passengers, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;zero toleranceâ&#x20AC;? policies which forbid all cell phone and alcohol use. These provisions have been shown to save the lives of teens. Public health and public safety experts urge parents and teens to adhere to these provisions every time they get in a car, and as closely as they followed the child passenger safety laws by buckling up every time. King County Board of Health and King County Child Death Review member, Dr. Ben Danielson of Seattle Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely wonderful that parents of young children and infants are

vigilant about car safety. Unfortunately, as time goes on, teens and their parents become more relaxed about car safety, sometimes violating the Intermediate Driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Licensing law. The results can be devastating.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for U.S. teens and 16-19year-olds are at highest risk,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jeffrey Duchin, Health Officer at Public Health â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Seattle & King County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Intermediate licensing of teens is an important and effective way to significantly reduce the risk of fatal crashes and preventable teen deathsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some parents may not understand the risks for new drivers, or may be unclear what their role is as their child becomes old enough to drive or to

ride with other young drivers,â&#x20AC;? explains Pat Kohler, Director of the Department of Licensing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want parents to know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed a parent guide to help them through this process.â&#x20AC;? In May, the Department of Licensing partnered with the Safe Roads Alliance and State Farm Insurance to launch a new program that provides parents and guardians with a simple, easy-to-follow plan designed to help teens develop safe driving habits. The Parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supervised Driving Program guide is packed with information and lessons on driving basics, parental pointers, and licensing qualifications that are helpful to parents of new drivers. The program is supple-

mented by the RoadReady mobile app, which can easily and accurately track the required supervised driving time of 50 hours. The free program guide is available at driver licensing offices around the state. It is also available on the DOL website and at www. WaDriveToZero.com. The RoadReady mobile app is available at the App Store on iTunes and Google Play. This effort is part of Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Target Zero plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to end traffic deaths and serious injuries in Washington by 2030.

From page A1

McCleary decision years ago that lawmakers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully funding schools, and the passage of a $16.1 billion statewide transportation package that will provide funding for the final completion of State Route 167, some 30 years after it was envisioned. Other transportation projects high on Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wish list received state dollars, including $4 million for the Schuster Parkway trail system and $495,000 for Interstate 5 improvements around the often bottlenecked Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Educational institutions in Tacoma also got financial boosts from lawmakers, including University of Washington-Tacoma, which received $16 million toward its planned Urban Solutions program; Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Evergreen State College campus getting $12 million toward buying its buildings rather than continue to lease facilities; and Tacoma Community College is set to receive $12 million for its planned Health and Wellness center. The historic Balfour Dock Building that houses the Foss Waterway Seaport will get money for a new heating system and the Pantages Theater will also get state dollars toward a new faĂ§ade. State lawmakers also merged many marijuana laws to streamline the taxes and oversight of medical and recreational operations, which have mushroomed up since marijuana use became legal. At issue was the fact that medical marijuana operations had been largely unregulated, while recreational use smoke shops were strictly licensed and highly taxed. That created an unbalanced marketplace for marijuana and a legal gray area around medical dispensaries.

percent. Since only two people, Conor McCarthy and Suzanne Skaar, are seeking the District 7 at-large seat, they will automatically move on to the general election. Incumbent David Boe opted not to seek reelection. Mello is running unopposed for his at-large District 8 seat. Tacoma School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School Board election results have incumbent Catherine Ushka with a solid lead, 55 percent of the vote, over her closest challenger Will Jenkins Sr., with 21 percent of the vote. Antonio Wyatt received 6.27 percent and Robert (Bob) Bearden received 17.07 percent, according to early election returns at press time. Andrea Cobb has 46.54 percent; Alisa Regala O'Hanlon has 41.22 percent; and David Carnahan has 11.70 percent for the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Position 4 seat.

Pierce Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21-member committee that will develop changes to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter also faced primary elections. Parts of Tacoma are included in five of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven districts. District 2, which includes Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown and waterfront, has Carolyn Edmonds leading her nearest challenger Michele Smith, 46.71 percent to 33.16 percent. Sandra PaulLyle was also vying for a seat on the Charter Review Commission but trails with only 19.55 percent. Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central neighborhood spans parts of County District 4, which has former Pierce County Executive John W. Ladenburg swallowing 51 percent of the vote, compared to his closest challenger, Elizabeth Burrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, 27.04 percent. Catharine (Cat) Jeter received 12.08 percent and governmental gadfly Robert

Hill gained 9.18 percent of the vote. Timothy M. Farrell leads his pack for the Position 2 of that district, with 43.68 percent of the vote against Alice McDanielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18.14 percent. Cathy Pearsall-Stipek leads the Position 3 race with 30.38 percent of the vote. That is almost double her nearest challenger Jamie Nixon. South Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County Council District 6 has Paul Wagemannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 44.66 percent against his closest challenger Michael Grayum, who has 25.509 percent in the Position 1 race. Don Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 57.58 percent leads Barbara Gelmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25.03 percent and John M. Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16.83 percent for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second seat. David Swindale narrowly tops a tight race for the Position 3

seat against Linda Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26.97 percent and April Simsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 25.81 percent. Sam Ross rounds out the field with 19.64 percent for the District 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third seat. Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northeast has Martha Lantz leading the eight-person field for that areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 7, Position 1 post. Her closest challenger is Randy Boss, who has 15.91 percent of the vote, according to early returns. The second seat for District two will have David Olsen, 24.14 percent, facing Brenda Wiest, 23.95 percent, if return statistics hold. Likewise, Katherine (Katie) Baird, 44.61 percent, will likely face Beckie Krantz, 25.24 percent for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third slot. Election results will be periodically posted online at piercecountyelections. org.

hen it comes to the playoffs, there is no room to mess around. A couple of bad calls, a few balls bounce the wrong way and the next thing you know your heavily favored team is sent packing scratching their heads and nursing a stomach ache that may linger into the following season. Losing always hurts, but there are some kinds of losses that hurt more than others. In the case of the Puyallup Nation Kings, they slipped up in the Western Washington Football Alliance championship game in 2014 and saw their undefeated season end without hoisting the trophy they were gunning for throughout their miraculous 12-game unbeaten run. They failed to bring their “A-game” to the championship and the crosstown rival Pierce County Bengals pounced on the opportunity, stunning the regular season champs in the title game. Fast-forward nearly a year and the landscape has changed for the Kings. Instead of holding onto an unbeaten record, as well as impressive spots in the national rankings, the Kings have been tested by fire this season. Gone are two head coaches. Gone are several players from last season. Gone are some players that started out with the team this season. After suffering some stinging defeats in non-league games against big-time opponents to open the season, the Kings cleaned house, regrouped and regained a sense of family chemistry that they were sorely missing. The team has been able to harness the “one game at a time” attitude that seems to be the

mantra of so many other champions and now they face a WWFA semifinal matchup against those same Bengals on Saturday, Aug. 8 at Sunset Stadium in Sumner for another crack at the big trophy. Unlike last season, the Kings finished the regular WWFA season as the fourth-place team and would not get a bye during the first round. Instead, they would host the Thurston County Mayhem at Chief Leschi Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 1 and the game played like a dragster versus a pony as the Kings dropped a 62-14 thrashing on the visitors, performing well on both sides of the football.

After trading possessions to start the game, the Kings forced the Mayhem to punt. Puyallup’s Robert Moaalii busted through the protection, blocked the kick, scooped up the football and rambled 34 yards for the first score of the game. The Kings led 7-0 with 4:15 left in the first quarter. On the next possession, J.J. Bickham intercepted a pass by Mayhem quarterback Nikolas Walters and the Kings had the ball at the Mayhem 33-yard line. Thurston County’s defense stepped up and forced the Kings to turn the ball over on downs. On the very next play, Walters was picked off by u See FOOTBALL / page A13

Like all good stories, there comes a time when it must end. For the Sounders U-23 it happened in the blink of an eye and left the hometown crowd in a state of shock and disbelief Friday, July 31 at Starfire Sports Stadium in Tukwila. After battling an incredibly talented K-W United FC team to a 0-0 standstill for 90 minutes, the hometown boys looked poised to send the game into overtime and then maybe a penalty shootout if the stalemate held. But it wouldn’t hold, as fresh substitute Blake Jones administered a hard foul just outside the top of the penalty box, drawing a yellow card a minute into the three minutes of extra-time. K-W United’s Julian Buscher lined up the free kick and sent a bending shot over the left edge of the Sounders U-23 defensive wall. After a masterful performance for the previous 90 minutes, goalkeeper Jefferson Caldwell launched himself sideways toward the left goalpost and looked like he had a bead on the ball. The problem was, Buscher’s kick had some serious English on the ball and seemed to duck under Caldwell’s grasp, finding a sliver of daylight, bouncing just before the goal line and into the goal for a 1-0 K-W United advantage with mere seconds remaining in the game for the Premier Development League championship weekend hosts. The Sounders U-23 quickly got the ball to midfield for a quick kick-off and tried to work the ball into a scoring position, but the K-W United defense, as it had been all game, would not give them the opening they were looking for and the referee’s final whistle blew on an exceptional post-season run for the Sounders U-23 and their fans. K-W United would face the New York Red Bulls U-23 on Sunday at Starfire Stadium and capture the PDL national championship in an exciting 4-3 contest that saw the Red Bulls battle back from a 3-0 halftime deficit. The champions finished the season 16-2-1 and an impressive 10-0-1 over their final 11 games. After making the playoffs as the third seed from the PDL Northwest Division, the Sound-

TACOMA’S GAVRONKSI AND WESTON HIGHLIGHT A BIG BATTLE AT THE BOAT 102 Once again, world-class professional boxing is coming to the Emerald Queen Casino. Brian Halquist Productions is excited to announce Battle at the Boat 102, live from the I-5 showroom on Saturday, August 15 at 7 p.m. Battle at the Boat 102 will give fight fans the chance to see some of the best up and coming boxers from all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Headlining this incredible night of fights will be Tacoma native and Battle at the Boat mainstay Mike “Imagine Me” Gavronski (18-1-1 12 KO’s) taking on top African contender Laatekwei Hammond (21-9 14 KO’s) of Worcester, Massachusetts in a 10-round main event. Gavronski has been on fire as of late, winning his last four contests in stellar fashion. His latest victory came via highlight-reel TKO against rival Tyrell Hendrix at Battle at the Boat 101 in May. Known for his vicious power as well as incredible stamina, fans know not to blink anytime their hometown hero steps between the ropes. “Mike Gavronski is one fight away from a Top 10 world rating,” said promoter, Brian Halquist. “This is the most important fight of his life. If he wins, a huge fight is out there for him.” Before the main event fighters make the walk to the ring, two featured bouts will be looking to steal the show. The first will showcase a pair of young blue chip prospects, as another Tacoma native, Marquice Weston (5-0-1 2 KO’s) takes on Utah’s David Sanchez (3-1 1 KO) in a five- round contest. While Weston’s extreme reach advantage makes him a dangerous opponent for anyone standing across the ring, the talented Sanchez will look to derail the young prospect’s rise up the chart in his own backyard. Also featured in a five-round contest will be Battle at the Boat favorite Jason Davis of Vancouver, Washington. Fans who have seen Davis fight before know to expect fireworks from the savvy veteran as he takes on David Lopez of Caldwell, Idaho. Battle at the Boat 102 is presented live from the Emerald Queen Casino on Saturday, August 15. Doors will open at 6 p.m. with the first bout scheduled for 7 p.m. Tickets start at only $25 and are available through the Emerald Queen Casino box office as well as all Ticketmaster locations.

RAINIERS, CAROL MILGARD BREAST CENTER TEAM TOGETHER FOR ‘PINK AT THE PARK’ The Tacoma Rainiers and Carol Milgard Breast Center (CMBC) have teamed together for a fifth consecutive season to host ‘Pink at the Park’ this Sunday, August 9th at Cheney Stadium - a benefit game devoted to raising money to fund mammogram screenings for medically underserved women in the South Sound. This year’s event begins when gates open at 12:30 p.m. for the Rainiers game against the Reno Aces. The first 3,000 fans arriving to the ballpark will receive limited edition Pink at the Park drawstring bags courtesy of CMBC. Pregame activities will also include video testimonials of patients who have successfully defeated breast cancer, and the formation of a ‘Circle of Hope’ around the pitcher’s mound comprised of breast cancer survivors and their friends and families. Survivors will release pink balloons symbolizing the release of fear and renewed hope for the future. Rainiers players and coaches will wear special pink jerseys in recognition of breast cancer patients and their families who have battled the disease. Each of the gameworn jerseys will be autographed and auctioned off as part of a live auction held along the third base line of the stadium immediately following the conclusion of the game. Proceeds from the auction will go directly to CMBC in support of the organization’s continued efforts to provide sustainable breast health services for all women in the South Sound. “Pink at the Park is our flagship fundraiser for the breast center,” says Jackie Ostrom, executive director of CMBC. “The money raised during this event plays a key part in helping us fulfill our mission of treating all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.” To date, CMBC has provided over $2.67 million in compassionate care services to medically underserved and underinsured patients in our community. CMBC recently celebrated its fifth anniversary as the first dedicated breast imaging center in the South Puget Sound. Since welcoming its first patients on February 23, 2009, CMBC has provided more than 120,000 screening mammograms to women, and has performed more than 300,000 exams and procedures. The breast center’s most important milestone has been saving lives through early detection. CMBC estimates it has diagnosed over 3,000 breast cancers in its first five years. “We’re honored to be making a real difference in our community, because we know that early detection saves lives,” says Khai Tran, M.D., medical director and visionary of the breast center. Breast cancer continues to rank as the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, with one in every eight females in the U.S. affected by the disease. Women whose breast cancer is detected at an early enough stage have been shown to have a 93 percent or more survival rate. The breast center supports screening guidelines established by the American Cancer Society, recommending that every woman 40 years of age and older receive a routine screening mammogram every year. The Carol Milgard Breast Center is a non-profit organization whose mission to provide sustainable breast health services to all women in the South Sound is reliant upon support from the community. For additional information about the Carol Milgard Breast Center or to contribute a donation, please call (253) 759-2622 or visit CMBC online at www.carolmilgardbreastcenter.org.

PLU SOCCER PROGRAMS TO GET A TASTE OF HISTORY WITH TRIP TO ENGLAND Thirty-three Pacific Lutheran soccer student-athletes, five staff members and numerous parents will get a whole new experience of soccer and history over the next 11 days, as the PLU men's and women's soccer teams leave Saturday for a 10-day trip through England. "Exciting times here for the PLU men's and women's soccer programs," PLU women's soccer coach Seth Spidahl. "This will be the first time in about 20 years that a couple PLU sports programs have traveled abroad, which is awesome because it fits right into our PLU mission of education abroad." The Lutes will travel Aug. 1 to 10 through London, Manchester and Liverpool, where they will tour some of the most famous landmarks in the world and see the home stadiums of some of soccer's most renowned teams. The two teams will also each have an opportunity to play three different exhibition contests against squads from England, giving them a taste of the European style of play. "Two of the three games we actually play different days, so we get to support each other," Spidahl said. "It will be pretty cool because the two programs will be able to watch each other play." The trip will also allow the Lutes to watch several of the top English Premier League squads in action at London's Wembley Stadium, as well as train at St. George's Park, the national training center and home of England's 24 national teams. "We're really excited to take our teams over for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see England, which some people would say is the home of football, home of soccer," Spidahl said. Off the field, the athletes, coaches and family members will visit numerous historic locations and gain valuable team-bonding time in anticipation of a 2015 season that includes high hopes for both the PLU men's and women's squads. As PLU emphasizes the value of studying abroad – nearly 50 percent of all students study internationally at some point during their time at PLU – the soccer trip provides an opportunity for student-athletes who often cannot participate in regular study away programs due to their athletic schedule commitments. "For our team to go there and get some games in before we actually start our season and the team building and the memories that we're going to make are going to be awesome," Spidahl said. "And then for two sports programs to do it together is a great thing for PLU Athletics."

HONORS FOR KINTZ, WENZEL AND MCCLUSKEY

AS WE LOOK BACK AND FORWARD

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

With the Premier Development League and Evergreen Premier League soccer seasons now over, it’s time to look back on the past six months or so, and also take a gander at what’s coming up soon in the Tacoma sports scene.

TW – It’s time for some long-overdue kudos for South Sound FC goalkeeper Christopher Kintz. After having a dominating season in 2014, with the best stats in the Evergreen Premier League, Kintz was somehow overlooked for the EPLWA “Safe Hands” award. He finished the season with five shutouts and his team fell just one point shy of the EPLWA championship. Fast-forward a year and the league honors anomaly has been rectified as Kintz was awarded with the 2015 EPLWA “Safe Hands” prize. The cagey veteran finished the season with three shutouts in 13 games and boasted an impressive 1.3 goalsagainst average. However, the bigger news about Kintz is not his goalkeeper award. Following a rough and tumble season that saw the Shock finish in second place again to the Spokane Shadow, Kintz announced that he will be hanging up his spikes with the team he helped found in 2009. Like all the players on the SSFC, Kintz is a hardworking man who travels throughout the state on business. After a stellar run, the veteran is turning the outdoor gloves over to the younger crop. But that doesn’t mean he’s done playing the indoor game. “Summer is over and it’s time

to change gears and go indoors, pending on where my career takes me out of town next for work,” said Kintz. “Nothing is set in stone. I never know when I’m going to get a phone call to play. I’ll just stay fit and sharp on my game so that I can be successful when the opportunity knocks." Kintz has been a part of two national championship indoor teams in 2004 and 2010 and was the starting goalkeeper for the USA’s first ever win as a national indoor team in 2010 in Monterrey, Mexico. He recorded three shootout saves, in the USA’s win over Peru, followed it up with a win over Brazil and then finally fell to Mexico in the finals. “That was kind of a preseason for me leading into the PASL Pro (season) in 2011 when we advanced to the North American Championships in Cincinnati with a wild card berth in the Northwest division,” said Kintz. “I’ve had more seasons in goal than I ever expected after getting into it in 2004 and am very blessed to have played around the nation at the highest levels of indoor. The experiences are priceless.” Kintz was also a member of the 2015 Western Indoor Soccer League champion Tacoma Stars who put together an incredible 14-0 record, while racking up an amazing plus-55 goal differential due to their explosive offense and veteran goalkeepers in Aaron Anderson and Kintz. When the Tacoma Stars took over the Major Arena Soccer League slot of the folding Seattle Impact, Kintz was immediately recruited to go to war for the Stars against some of the top indoor players and teams in the nation. Kintz would have a

rough baptism against powerhouse clubs like the San Diego Sockers, Las Vegas Legends and the soon-to-be 20-0 Missouri Comets. After every game there was a smile on his face and he was looking forward to the next challenge. That’s something I’ll always admire about Kintz. Nobody can win them all, and it’s how you bounce back from a tough loss that truly shows what kind of winner you really are. Don’t be surprised if you see Kintz stopping shots again sometime soon. He’s got that fire. Take it easy Christopher, we’ll see you around the bend.

TW – If the Tacoma Weekly were handing out fancy, goldencrusted trophies to the best players on the Sounders U-23 and South Sound FC, it would be very difficult. Firstly, I don’t have a trophy section in my sports budget, and secondly, it’s just too difficult to pick just one. So we’ll pick two for our imaginary awards this year. For the Sounders U-23, we’re selecting defender Jonathan Campbell and forward Guillermo Delgado. Campbell was the backbone of a stingy defense that kept the Sounders U-23 in pretty much every game they played this season. It really is a shame that he was called up to the United States Men’s National U-23 team just before the team would play in the Premier Development League national semifinals. He could have been the difference maker for the hometown boys. Delgado was a danger to every defense he faced. Whether it was a hat-trick or a game winner in the playoffs, Delgado seemed to find the back of the nets when it really counted.

For the South Sound FC, we’re selecting midfielder and team captain Micah Wenzel along with forward Vincent McCluskey. Wenzel was the gasoline that fired up the Shock’s engine. Whether he was going high for a contested header, or making a goal-saving slide tackle, Wenzel left every drop of sweat on the pitch for South Sound and was one of the more fiery individu-

als in the entire league. The team fed off of him. McCluskey was a constant headache for defenders. He’s tall, thick and has a nose for the soccer ball. McCluskey was also a member of the South Sound FC U-23 team that traveled to Virginia Beach and brought back a national championship trophy.

continued as Antonio Curran picked off a pass at the 24-yard line and returned it all the way down to the five-yard line. Three plays later it was Southern with a quarterback sneak behind his pounding offensive line and the lead was now 28-0 Kings with 5:46 remaining in the second quarter. The landslide continued for the Mayhem on the very next play. Isaiah Syph recovered a Mayhem fumble on the kickoff at the three-yard line and it would take an acrobatic catch by James Tyler III from Southern in the back-corner of the end-zone on fourth down to extend the lead to 35-0 with three minutes left in the second quarter. The Kings would score again before the halftime whistle when Southern connected with receiver Ktron Barquett in the back of the end-zone. The 42-0 halftime score looked exactly the way the first half went down. The Mayhem quarterbacks were

The Kings now led 14-0 with 13:35 left in the second quarter. The Mayhem continued their turnover party on the next possession setting up to punt. The snap was fumbled and the Kings would take over just eight yards from the goal line. It would take just one play to hit paydirt as Nigel Harbison took a handoff up the middle and plowed his way into the end-zone. The Kings now led 21-0 and it looked and smelled like a rout was going down. On the next Mayhem possession, the interception fest

t Review From page A12

TW - High School football is nearly upon us with Tacoma teams hitting the fields for first practices on Aug. 15. While there are some fantastic athletes throughout the city, some big question marks loom as several head coaching positions have changed, while an equal number of head coaches will be entering just their second year at the helm for their respective school. It will be interesting to see how firstyear head coach Brian Jensen fares with the Bellarmine Prep Lions, after the departure of the legendary Tom Larsen. The Foss Falcons are now under the wings of first-year head coach Matt Johnson and the Lincoln Abes welcome Matsuki Matsumoto as head coach after a successful run in California. Down in the valley, Chief Leschi may have scored the biggest coup of them all bringing in former Tacoma Baptist head

intercepted six times in the first half alone. Thurston County showed a little life in the third quarter and turned a fumble recovery at the Kings’ 20-yard line into a 20-yard scoring strike on the next play. The Kings lead had been cut to 42-7 with 8:20 left in the third quarter. On the next possession, the Kings chewed some time off of the clock and put together an eight-play, 57-yard scoring drive. After pushing the ball down to the Mayhem fouryard line, Southern took the next snap, faked a handoff and zipped a pass to Samuel Solomon in the front-left corner of the end-zone. Puyallup now led 48-7 with 3:35 left in the third quarter. After losing out on the wrong side of an onside kick to the Mayhem earlier, the Kings’ Nick Rhodes squibbed a perfect kick that took a Puyallup bounce and the Kings had the ball back. Four plays later, Southern would dial-up his

coach Mark Smith. Had Larsen stayed at Bellarmine, Smith would still have more state tournament teams under his belt than all the other Tacoma coaches combined. That’s a big win for a school that’s in dire need of some football sunshine. Look for some positive gains for Stadium Tigers and Mt. Tahoma T-Birds this season. Thomas Ford enters his second year with the perpetually struggling Tigers and he’s a man on a mission. Ricky Daley also enters his second year with the T-Birds and might just be the guy to finally turn around over in SW Tacoma. Jess Nelson left Stadium two years ago for a smaller squad at Life Christian. It paid off as the Eagles fielded a strong team and advanced to the State 2B tournament. He’s lost some stars, but don’t expect much of a drop-off, they’ve got the athletes over there. Tacoma Baptist is the biggest question mark

fourth touchdown pass of the day as he found James Tyler III open in the flat. Tyler cut into the middle of the field and took it to the house untouched. The Kings now led 55-7 with 1:28 left in the third quarter. Thurston County would manage to get on the board again with 4:28 left in the game after taking over possession with just 28 yards to score. Playing mostly reserves, the Kings answered with a 12-yard pass from Tyler to Reggie Woods with 1:55. At 62-14, that would be the ballgame. Puyallup will play the Pierce County Bengals at 6 p.m. at Sunset Stadium in Sumner on Saturday, Aug. 8. In the other semifinal, the Puget Sound Outlaws will travel to face the Renton Ravens in what figures to be a slugfest from start to finish. The two winners will meet the following week at a stadium yet to be determined. Stay tuned.

of the bunch. Barely scraping together enough players to field a team in 2014, head coach Tim Rasmussen will have his hands full getting a full squad, let alone competing in a very tough Pacific 2B league. Stay tuned.

TW – There are many top-drawer football players to keep an eye on out of Tacoma this coming season, and one of them should be linebacker Erik Glueck from Bellarmine Prep. Glueck was 6-3, 225 pounds as a junior and began garnering attention from upper-echelon universities around the nation. With the prospects of a leaner season coming up, following the graduation of several key Lions, look for Glueck to step to the forefront and become a showstopper. He’s got the brawn, the skills and the brains to make it happen.

ers U-23 would be the underdog in every match they played. Up first would be a road trip against the second-place Portland Timbers U-23, one of the Sounders U-23’s most fierce rivals. After suffering 1-0 and 2-0 defeats to Portland in the regular season, a peaking Sounders U-23 squad showed up in Portland and pulped the Timbers 4-1 in front of a stunned Rose City crowd. The win would send the boys from the South Sound deep into the Valley of the Sun to play for the PDL Western Conference championship. In their semifinal match in Tucson, the Sounders U-23 faced long-odds against the champions of the PDL Southwest Division. The Burlingame Dragons entered the game with a 10-1-3 record and had a team stacked with top-notch collegiate players. The Sounders U-23 played as though they were the favorites, stifling Burlingame’s attack and keeping their defense under pressure. A second half goal by Guillermo Delgado would be all that was needed for the Sounders U-23 as they advanced to the championship game with the 1-0 win. Up next would be the hometown favorite FC Tucson who had handed the PDL Northwest champion Kitsap Pumas (10-1-2) their only loss of the season in their semifinal match. An early score by Kento Sakurai put the Sounders U-23 up 1-0 and the defense would hold up under constant fire until the 38th minute when Tucson tied the score. With eight minutes left in the match, PDL All-League national selection Jonathan Campbell would take a deflection off his chest and fire home the game winner. The Sounders U-23 would win the West and move on to the PDL national semifinals. Sounders U-23 owner Lane Smith was approached by the PDL to host the championship tournament at Starfire in Tukwila and they were under a time crunch with the championship weekend falling less than a week after the conference championships were completed. After discussing options with his partners, Lane agreed and the Final Four suddenly became a home game for the fourth-seeded Sounders U-23. Under a moonlit sky, top-seed K-W United and the Sounders U-23 went toeto-toe for 90 minutes. Three United shots would hit the crossbar or post and Caldwell was dynamic in goal for the home side. On the other side of the ball, United’s defense continued to squeeze the Sounders U-23 scoring opportunities, forcing shots that were further away from the goal than they would normally want, and leaving the home side with only a handful of true opportunities that went unfinished. The Sounders U-23 played the match without Campbell who was called up to the United States Men’s National Team U-23 squad following the conference finals. It didn’t sit well with many fans in attendance as they watched their team fend off several United scoring chances without their defensive leader during the biggest weekend of the year for the PDL. In the end, K-W United capitalized on their best opportunity and it would take the one goal to deny the boys in Rave Green a shot at the PDL national title. The Sounders U-23 would end the season 10-5-1 overall while delivering some exceptional soccer memories that their fans will never forget.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

State, local and Puyallup tribal officials held a groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 18, 2015 for the next Interstate 5 project in Tacoma that will create a new bridge over the Puyallup River and reconstruct the I-5/State Route-167 interchange, commuter lanes and increase access to tribal properties. Pictured here are (left to right): Puyallup tribal member David Duenas; State Representative Hans Zeiger (R-25); Tacoma Deputy Mayor David Boe; Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud; State Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson; Hamilton Construction President Scott Williams; WSDOT Olympic Region Administrator Kevin Dayton; and Kierra Phifer with U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s office.

Considered among the most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has grown to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care

of not only its own membership but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,200 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 2013, the Tribe spent more than $461 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 countless 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 welldeserved reputation as “the generous people,” a reflection of the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.”

SHARING THE WEALTH Puyallup Tribe keeps communities strong The breadth of the Tribe’s giving has long been a model for how people in communities should take care of people in communities. For years the Tribe has given critical funds to thousands of organizations throughout Western Washington, employing a careful, thoughtful approach when choosing its donation recipients. During the 2014 fiscal year, the Puyallup Tribe contributed more than $2.5 million from its charity and general funds into the local community with donations to various charities and organizations such as hospitals, healthcare and medical research, schools, food banks, literacy programs, job training…the list goes on. Again and again the Puyallup Tribe’s generosity comes shining through, and 2014 was certainly no exception. This past summer the Tribal Council made its final payment on a $1 million commitment to MultiCare Health System, presenting $200,000 on July 10 to MultiCare CEO Bill Robertson and Foundations of MultiCare Vice-President Sara Long. Thanks to the Tribe’s contribution, the once over-crowded emergency departments of Tacoma

Native American education and research at the university. “This grant from the Puyallup Tribe will help address one of the greatest barriers faced by Native people today – the lack of information and abundance of misinformation the public has about tribes and tribal people,” said Sharon Parker, UWT’s assistant chancellor for equity and diversity. “As the work of this grant ripples out, students, faculty and staff will share in a great communal experience with roots much deeper than the 25-year history of UWT.” And in December, the Puyallup Tribe gave Northwest Harvest $250,000, the food bank’s biggest donation this year. Presented during KING 5 television’s annual Home Team Harvest event, this donation puts the Tribe at the $1 million mark in donations to Northwest Harvest, Washington’s statewide hunger relief agency. “Since 2011 the Tribe has been our largest contributor each year,” said Dee Christoff, director of donor relations. “A significant percentage of our budget every year is raised right around the holidays, and we have to make it last, so a large gift like this really helps us to get through our entire year.” More Christmastime donations were given as well in 2014 – $125,000 to Toys for Tots and $125,000 to Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County.

IMAGINE DRAGONS SHOW STAYING POWER IN TACOMA

PHOTOS BY BILL BUNGARD

IMAGINE DRAGONS. The pop hit makers headlined the Tacoma Dome on July 31. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

t appears Imagine Dragons is here to stay for a while. The Las Vegas-bred pop band was easily the breakout act of 2013, its meteoric rise fueled by hits “It’s Time,” “Demons” and the ubiquitous, dubstep-flavored “Radioactive,” which spent a whopping 87 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. But the band hadn’t exactly reinvented the wheel with its sound, a familiar blend of Coldplay-style bombast and slick EDM textures; sophomore disc “Smoke + Mirrors,” the follow-up to 2012’s “Night Visions,” received a tepid critical response upon its release in February. “This year’s ‘Truth in Advertising’ award goes to ... Imagine Dragons,” writes New York Daily News critic Jim Farber. “It’s a work almost entirely devoted to embellishment, showing far more care with what surrounds a song than with what lies at its core.” So had Imagine Dragons run headlong into the dreaded sophomore slump? Was the band destined to be the next flash in the pan, filed in the bargain bin with the likes of Snow Patrol and Panic at the Disco? Well, not exactly; not yet, anyway, based on fan response on July 31 at the Tacoma Dome where, by the looks of it, Dragons drew a

slightly smaller crowd than butt-rock kings Mötley Crüe the previous week. A few arena rock cliches aside, front man Dan Reynolds delivered with disarming earnestness during his band’s 90-minute set. Occasionally, he shared uplifting views on societal conflict and his ongoing battle with depression. “It’s a very real thing [but] life is worth living to the very end,” he declared, speaking on to the latter. But he spent most of his time working fans into a frenzy, roaming up and down a catwalk that connected the main stage – the domain of band mates Wayne Sermon (guitar), Ben McKee (bass) and Daniel Platzman (drums) – and a second, smaller stage he had all to his lonesome. Reynolds’ unbridled energy was infectious. Fans lit up the arena with a constellation of cell phones during the band’s cover of Alphaville’s “Forever Young,” and later worked back into a fist-pumping frenzy later during numbers like “I’m Sorry,” “Friction” and, of course, late set highlight, “Radioactive.” Set list: “Shots,” “Trouble,” “It’s Time,” Forever Young,” “Polaroid,” “I’m Sorry,” “Gold,” “Amsterdam,” “Demons,” “Hopeless Opus,” “Release,” “Top of the World,” “Friction,” “Bleeding Out,” “Radioactive” Encore: “The Fall” See more photos from this weekend inside, on B2.

THE THINGS WE LIKE ONE WWII COMMEMORATION An international tribute to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, and to honor all military members who served our nation during the war, will be held at Tahoma National Cemetery (main flag pole assembly area) on Aug. 16, 2 p.m., 18600 SE 240th St., Kent. The event will include a welcome speech by WWII Veteran Milt Till, VFW Member and Tahoma NC Volunteer; a short speech by Cemetery Director Thomas Yokes on the background of the commemoration of the end of WWII; a rifle salute by VFW Post 6785, “Echo Taps” by Tahoma NC Volunteer Bugle Corp; and a wreath-laying ceremony. World War II veteran attendees will be invited to speak and share their name, branch of service and dates of service. Info: (425) 413-9614.

TWO ‘GODSPELL’ Lakewood Playhouse’s summer theater camp will stage “Godspell: The Musical” on Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. and Aug. 8 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. This musical retelling of the Gospel of Matthew, set in modern-day New York City, uses song and dance as the apostles traverse the city spreading Christ’s message of love and tolerance. Tickets are only $10 at (253) 588-0042.

THREE FREE MOVIES Metro Parks Tacoma will present free movies, games and more family fun at its “Summer Bash ‘15” series, 6:30-8 p.m.: “Big Hero 6” on Aug. 14 at Stewart Heights Park, 402 E. 56th St.; “How To Train

Your Dragon 2” on Aug. 15 at Gray Middle School, 6229 S. Tyler St.; and “Penguins of Madagascar” on Aug. 21 at Center at Norpoint, 4818 Nassau Ave. NE.

FOUR ‘THE MUSIC MAN, JR.’ You won’t be able to miss those 76 trombones when you see “The Music Man, Jr,” presented by Summer Camp @ TLT. The story follows fast talking salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize. The catch? He doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marion, whose belief in Harold’s powers might just help him succeed in spite of himself. Plays Aug. 14, 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets $7 at www.tacomalittletheatre. com or (253) 272-2281.

FUEL FIX. “Fill ‘er Up” is an enamel belt buckle of copper, nickel silver, mild steel and lead-bearing enamel. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma’s Matthew Coté is an alchemist. He combines skill in metalsmithing with an intricate knowledge of politics and place to forge objects that both adorn the body and tell a story. An exhibition of Coté’s brooches, belt buckles, bracelets and other jewelry is currently on display at the bang-up gallery/boutique Moss + Mineral. Coté has two series of work in the show. His “American Spirit” series features enamel wares that make pithy political statements. A belt buckle called “Fill ‘er Up” shows a cartoon car getting pumped full of petroleum by an obliging gas pump. The piece has humorous sexual connotations and is a statement about our addiction to fossil fuel. “If people have to chose between having enough to eat or putting gas in the car, they go with gas,” notes Coté. The second series is called “Hidden Agenda,” (which is also the title of the exhibition as a whole). In this series, Coté draws from a number of traditions (medieval mazes, secret society map making, for example) to create complex works that embody a story, often involving things going on in the inner sanctums of subaltern power brokers. There is a charm bracelet called “The Fescue is Always Greener” in which each of the charms is an outline of one of the holes of the Chambers Bay golf course. Coté questions the decision to take public land and make it into an exclusive commodity where the public cannot trod without first paying the greens fee. Another work, “Allenmore Facade,” is a round reliquary that contains bits of bone and hair from an elk. Symbolism on the case and on back plays with the

Walmart logo. This piece is about the underhanded dealings by which Walmart was able to insinuate itself into Tacoma despite public opposition. The elk relics refer to the loss of the Tacoma Elks Club property that occupied the site taken over by the Walmart complex. Coté collaborated with Tacoma Community College art instructor Kyle Dillehay to forge a piece that commemorates the destruction of the Top of the Ocean restaurant in the 1970s. Coté’s work is as intricate on the back as it is on the front. “The front of the piece introduces the story and the back completes it,” said Coté. Coté loves to use the shapes made by the boundaries of places. He enjoys cartography and cryptic encoding of words and symbols. His designs are intricate. One can fall deeply into them and layers of meaning will unfold. Those of Coté’s works that tell stories of Tacoma serve as a reminder that our city is a stage where the human drama unfolds. Heroes and villains are locked in the eternal round of conflict here. Tacoma and its specific geographic locations is as worthy of staging the human drama as any of the world’s great metro poles. Places like Rome, Jerusalem and New York are often celebrated in literature, art and cinema. Coté reminds us that our own city is equally worthy of our riveted attention. Unfortunately, Tacoma is about to lose Coté, temporarily at least. The young metalsmith has hit the road and is on his way to Pennsylvania where he is going to attend graduate school at Edinboro University. There he will work toward an MFA in the metalsmithing field. “Hidden Agenda” runs through Sept. 19. For further information visit mossandmineral.com.

Join the Washington State History Museum for a celebration of native culture at the 10th annual IN THE SPIRIT Contemporary Native Arts Market and Festival, one of the largest Native American arts events in the region. The market and festival are free and open to the public, as is museum entrance to the corresponding IN THE SPIRIT Contemporary Native Arts Exhibit. The museum grounds will be filled with an array of vendors selling exquisite works in all price ranges while native singers, musicians and dance groups perform in the museum’s outdoor amphitheater throughout the day. Visitors are also invited to enjoy free museum admission and view the “IN THE SPIRIT” exhibit, which includes 29 pieces of artwork in a variety of mediums. Most of the exhibit prizes were awarded on July 16 and will be on display, however the coveted ‘People’s Choice,’ First Place and Second Place awards will be announced during the festival, based on votes collected throughout the exhibit. To commemorate the exhibit and festival’s 10th year, the Purchase Prize winners from the last nine years are honored through a special exhibition. These particular pieces were selected to become part of the Historical Society’s permanent collection. From carvings and weavings to Jeffrey Veregge’s now famous “The Bat” print will be on display. This year’s festival will feature award-winning artists, carving demonstrations, gallery talks and unique performances. Rock band Scatter Their Own will perform their “alter-Native” music fresh from their show at South by Southwest earlier this year followed by a Kwakwaka’wakw tribal dance group called the Le-La-La Dancers who hail from British Columbia. Vendors also continue to be a highlight and include artists such as Israel Shotridge who took Second Place in Wood Carving at the Native Art Market hosted by the Heard Museum in March. Festival-goers can also take a break from the heat and head indoors to meet artists in the gallery and see carvers from the Shoalwater Bay Carving Program demonstrate their craft.

BANDS AND BEER AT BREW FIVE THREE

BEER BASH. The Brew Five Three Festival will bring regional blues and craft beer favorites to Broadway Aug. 8. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Beer lovers should expect more choices and a larger turnout for Broadway Center’s third annual Brew Five Three beer and blues festival this weekend. The event will take over Broadway, between Ninth and 11th streets, from 1-8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8. More than 3,000 revelers are expected to turn out to witness top-notch performances and sample the wares of regional brewers. “Last year, the crowd was about 2,500,” Broadway Center Executive Director David Fischer said. “This year, we can already tell from our pre-sales that it’s growing and word of mouth is getting around.”

More than 40 brewers are expected to participate in the year’s event, the likes of which include The Harmon, Engine House No. 9, 7 Seas, Elysian, Hale’s, Schooner Exact and many more. “We’re adding participating breweries, up probably about 25 percent,” Fischer said. “There were 28 to 30 last year, so that’s exciting for us. That’s a reflection of word getting out among the brewing community about how much fun this even is.” Headlining the musical portion of the event is popular blues singer Duffy Bishop. Bishop, who currently stars as Madam ZinZanni with Seattle’s Teatro ZinZanni, will be singing songs from her eighth album, “Find Your Way Home.”

Joining Bishop on the bill are the Market Street Dixieland Jass Band, which specializes in New Orleans style jazz and ragtime; local blues-fusion favorite the Dean Reichert Band; and Washington Blues Society Hall of Fame member Paul Green, known as one of the best harmonica players in the region. You must be 21 or older to attend Brew Five Three. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 the day of the event, and they come with six tasting tokens and a collectible glass. There is also a special $10 “designated driver” ticket available for non-drinkers. Learn more or find tickets online at www.broadwaycenter.org.

CLOVES COMEBACK. The local indie-rock outfit includes singer-guitarist Michael Hochstatter and singer-bassist Kevin Poleskie.

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

The Cloves had just started to gain traction a decade ago, having scored some high-profile gigs and coveted airplay on Seattle rock stations KHTP-FM (103.7 The Mountain) and KEXPFM (90.3). Then illness sidelined singer-guitarist Michael Hochstatter, a situation he alludes to on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three Fourths Alive,â&#x20AC;? a ballad from his bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, comeback album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Revival.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I check the mirror and the state Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in,â&#x20AC;? he sings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not fully living, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not truly giving my life,â&#x20AC;? he adds later, describing the malaise that comes with chronic fatigue syndrome. The Mayo Clinic defines the condition as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be explained by any underlying medical condition. The fatigue may worsen with physical or mental activity, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve with rest.â&#x20AC;? Hochstatter, 36, of Sumner, says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffered from the disorder since high school. He recalled the circumstances leading up to his diagnosis as his band prepared for its first Tacoma concert in years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, at First

Presbyterian Church, 20 Tacoma Ave. S. The first symptoms came out of nowhere as he attended a soccer game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just started not feeling well,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went home and threw up between 20 and 30 times; and, after that, I just never recovered.â&#x20AC;? Hochstatter said his attendance fell dramatically, and he had to give up basketball, tennis and being senior class president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I barely graduated and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to college because of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was coupled with a lot of depression and anxiety and not being able to live my life; and through all that, I had ups and downs.â&#x20AC;? Hochstatter wrote The Cloves debut EP, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waiting for the World to Be,â&#x20AC;? with writing partner Kevin Poleskie in 2005. It and the new album are both available through iTunes. It was followed by further setbacks and visits to specialists that sidelined the band for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through all of this we stayed together writing songs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we feel like this record is so strong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 years of writing together. ... So once my health got a little better, we had all these songs ready, and we just found wonderful players and got back together with our original core.â&#x20AC;?

I teared up at the Triple Door for sure,â&#x20AC;? Hochstatter said, alluding to a recent CD release show in Seattle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show we played at the Triple Door was our best show ever, from all 10 years of The Clovesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; existence. I expect this show to be just as good or even better, because now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even more well-rehearsed.â&#x20AC;?

She also co-owns The Nearsighted Narwhal on 6th Ave in Tacoma with her soul mate and equally talented partner, Ossain. Contact her at gypsygrimoire@gmail.com for rates or just to chew the fat about the stars.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Look for a cool, intellectual detachment from your emotions. This is not necessarily a bad thing. If you are dealing with difficult matters you will be able to clearly communicate what you are feeling and why without messy emotions like pain, rage, or frustration getting in the way. You are also granted a heaping dose of wit to prevent you from getting into those situations in the first place. Use it wisely.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) You’re searching for something. You’re having a hard time putting your finger on what, exactly, it is that you want. New experiences? New areas of study that quickens your heartbeat? A new and quirky love interest? You don’t know what it is, but you need a change. Try talking to new people, going somewhere you’ve never been, or eating differently for a quick fix. Don’t allow your life to go stale.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) This week brings a new perspective on your possessions and morals. On one hand, you stand firm and grounded in how you feel about these things. On the other, this week may bring about a somewhat laissezfaire attitude about these things that may constitute a loosening of the reins a little. Roll with it and allow yourself to see things from both viewpoints equally.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You need comfort and it’s obvious. Whatever negative aspects of life you’ve been dealing with lately has gotten the better of you and you need to reach out. Not to just anyone, though – to someone who truly understands and loves you and has the perfect arms to enfold you with. We know you’re a noble creature, but it never hurts to reach out. Trust someone enough to find the comfort you need.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) This week you will shine like the bright star in the sky that you are. Your mercurial nature will be amped up and your need for friendly conversations will be kicked into overdrive. Dazzling wit and ease of small talk aren’t the only positives this week – you’ll also feel emotionally comfortable with yourself and emotionally available to others. If you’ve had a hard time recently, this is the break you’ve needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) This week brings a little zing into your interpersonal relationships, be they business or romantic. You’re probably going to feel a new kind of connectedness to these people and it will open up brand new avenues of communication. Nothing too heavy, though. Light-hearted chatter and witty repartee are on the agenda. Socialize as much as time allows.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) You’re looking for a break from the mundane, searching for something boundless and greater than what you experience on the daily. Novelty in all areas will magnetically pull you in and you will throw your head back and laugh at the absurdity of it all. You need the change of scenery, the variety right now. Bask in the myriad strange details of the moment and let the newness ground you. LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) You are unlike all of the other signs here, Leo, and you know it. Instead of reaching for a single person for comfort when the going gets rough, you reach for an entire crowd. This week is no different for you. Nothing recharges you like being center stage, applauded and rewarded with scads of attention. You love it when other people adore you. And they do, much more than you even know. VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Have you been hibernating too much lately? Does the sound of a job away from home that provides for new experiences and new people give you happy butterflies? This week you’ll be restructuring your work and career, or at least what you want from those areas of your life. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. You belong to the world, Virgo, and don’t you forget it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) If you’ve been focused on perfecting relationships, schedules, or techniques, this is the time to reinforce what you already know and spread that knowledge thinly across all areas of life. No use in getting hung up on details right now. What you need right now is a change of perspective. You are doing right in the world. Be easy on yourself. You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to persist. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Though you may be stoic at times, on the inside you are bursting with rainbows of emotions and ideas. Finding a creative – and perhaps unconventional – outlet for all of your self-expression needs is paramount at this time. You need to be able to clear your head with the stroke of a paintbrush, tap of a keyboard, or high note of a song. Find what makes you happy and aids in your emotional release. PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Though you may not have been feeling super connected with your family lately, now is the time to open the door to communications and understanding. Not every discussion needs to be heavy. Remember that we are all different and that has to be okay. Try to keep things light and easy flowing when you reach out to your various family members and put some good times between now and past grievances.

Pet of the Week

Caramel and Macchiato

Have we got a pair for you. Sisters Caramel and Macchiato are Satin Angoras, an exotic breed rarely seen at the shelter. A bit of a history lesson — this type of rabbit was originally bred to make wool, and thus they had to be easy to handle. Well our inseparable duo is just that. They’re also awful curious, not at all timid, and oh so sweet. They can’t bear to be parted, so their new family must be able to adopt the both of them together. In addition, their shiny, spectacular coats need to be groomed daily to prevent matting. But it’s definitely worth it — petting Caramel and Macchiato is like touching pure silk. And like other Satin Angoras, the sisters have very active natures, which means they are going to need a lot of time to run around. Stop by the shelter, and drink in these stunning buns today. Caramel: #A496254; Macchiato: #A496255
