T

he non-profit Tacoma Youth Marine Foundation has a real reason to celebrate with its win of a $500,000 grant last month from the Seattle Foundation. The funds come at a perfect time, as the foundation is poised to reach new heights of excellence in its mission to

get youth out on the water to learn seamanship and the opportunities that are available in the maritime trades. Malcolm Russell is executive director of the Youth Marine Foundation. He said the funds would be used to support the Tacoma Youth Marine Center’s fleet of program and training vessels and toward a significant remodel of the center’s main administration building. This would be in addition to the center’s

new training facility already in place and the recent redesign and rebuild of the center’s docks. All of this, combined with the foundation’s dedicated board of directors and Russell’s hiring two years ago, place the foundation in a new light for developing even greater visions of what the foundation can do for young men and women in its programs.

ouglas Burgess is back from France, ready to show his fellow students at Hilltop Artists how an air gun comes in handy in glassblowing. Arsene Brie is home again in Biot, with the globes and eggs, roses and swans he learned to make at Hilltop Artists, and with tales of baseball and museums, barbecue and a leafy city. The students, both 17, started their summers pioneering Tacoma-Biot Sister Cities’ first student exchange. It’s an element to the partnership that has developed with impressive speed, thanks to the resourcefulness and generosity of Tacoma’s volunteers with the program. Cathy Sarnat imagined big on Tacoma delegates’ first official trip to its newest sister city, Biot, in the south of France. The group had visited a school and a college that day and were delighted that students were enthusiastic about the new partnership, which the French call a jumelage. The kids had questions about Tacoma, and about the two cities’ shared arts focus on glass. Biot’s hot shops, like Tacoma’s, fire local imaginations – and draw tourists. Wouldn’t it be something, Sarnat mused, if Tacoma and Biot could set up a student exchange, with young people studying with local glass masters.

PRIMARY ELECTION TIGHTENS STATE POWER SHIFT By Steve Dunkelberger

stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Democrats won’t likely retake the Senate in Olympia, since key races in Pierce County show their candidates trailing in early results from Tuesday’s primary election. But the primary

election is essentially a poll of voters, as candidates head to the general election on Nov. 4. So you can expect more robo-calls and political signs as the races heat up. The top two vote getters in each race will face each other in November. Only 20 percent of the bal-

lots had been tallied by Tacoma Weekly press time, with an update expected in the coming days, but the sample represents statistical trends in the elections. Republicans control the Senate by three seats in the 49-seat chambers. Key in Pierce CounHERB GODDESS HOROSCOPE

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK =0:0; <: 65 -(*,)662 MHJLIVVR JVT [HJVTH^LLRS`

7HJPMPJ HUK [O :[YLL[ Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

Preparations are underway as The Daffodil Festival partners with the City of Tacoma to pay tribute to Pierce County’s sizeable active duty and retired military population. Together, they will host the second annual Celebrating Military Service Parade in downtown Tacoma on the evening of Aug. 16. “Last year’s Military Appreciation Parade was a great success,� said Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “We look forward to honoring our service members and their families again in downtown Tacoma.� The parade will spotlight notable active duty and retired military personnel, and feature marching units, community floats, bands, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps units, veterans organizations, motorcycle units and veterans groups. Last year, the parade featured more than 60 military units. The parade will begin at South 17th Street and Pacific Avenue by Tollefson Plaza at 6 p.m. The route will travel north to South 10th Street. Immediately following the parade, parade vehicles, community floats and military personnel will be on Pacific Avenue from South 7th to South 9th streets 7-9 p.m. Pacific Avenue will be closed to showcase specific parade entries, and parade-goers are encouraged to support their local area restaurants for related festivities. The Emerald Queen Hotel & Casino and Heritage Bank are the headlining sponsors of the parade this year. Event updates and application instructions can be found at either tacomamilitaryparade.com or thedaffodilfestival. org.

Goodwill forecasts at least 100 openings in 11 Southwest and Western Peninsula counties over the next 12 months. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work based training program for older workers. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor and run through Goodwill of the Olympic and Rainier Region’s six work opportunity centers, the program provides subsidized, service-based training for low-income persons 55 years or older who are unemployed and have poor employment prospects. When combined with Goodwill’s other training programs, seniors can receive training in office, culinary, barista, catering, retail, custodial, warehouse, transportation/ logistics, construction and other careers. Participants train an average of 15-20 hours a week, and are paid the highest of federal, state or local minimum wage. When ready, they are then placed in temporary training at a wide variety of community service activities at non-profit and public facilities, including day-care centers, senior centers, schools and hospitals. The community service training and temporary employment serves as a bridge to unsubsidized employment opportunities. In addition to individual benefit, the (up to 48 month) program moves participants off of welfare, food stamps and other public assistance. Seniors gainfully employed also spend their income in the local economy, benefitting businesses and services in the area. “Program participants receive assistance with developing an individual employment plan, along with community service placement and training specific to that service assignment,� said JoLynn Dunavant, Pierce County SCSEP program manager. “They also receive additional training identified in their individual plans, and supportive services, wages, fringe benefits, annual physicals and assistance in securing unsubsidized employment.� To apply for the SCSEP program, contact Pierce County Goodwill Program Manager JoLynn Dunavant at (253) 5736759, or one of the following: Thurston, Jefferson, Clallam County, Kathy Hurley at (360) 456-0273; Grays Harbor, Mason County, Dora Louton at (360) 532-0041; Cowlitz County, Lewis County, Lenette Connolly Hastings at (360) 501-8350 (Cowlitz) or (360) 330-2428 (Lewis); Kittitas, Klickitat, Yakima County, Gail Goode at (509) 452-6061 Across the U.S. there are approximately 46,000 participants in the program, with a 44 percent success rate in transitioning participants to unsubsidized employment. -0:/ -66+ )(52 ,?,*<;0=, +09,*;69 ;6 9,;09, Beth Elliott, who oversaw the oldest and largest food bank network in Pierce County, is retiring after 11 years as executive director. She will step down at the end of 2014. During Elliott’s tenure with FISH Food Banks, the organization has grown from serving 199,000 client visits in 2004, to more than 562,000 in 2013. A decade ago, Elliott found the agency in a precarious financial position. Speedy and strategic changes were necessary in order to stay afloat. Though ever dependent on the generosity of local donors, FISH now has months of financial reserves to sustain operations in a crisis, a benchmark of a healthy and solvent nonprofit organization. “For the past 10 years, my vision has been, and continues to be, that everyone – clients, volunteers, paid staff and donors – must be treated with compassion, dignity and respect, and that we operate efficiently and effectively. During this time, I placed great emphasis on improving facilities, switching to a self-serve operational model, eliminating barriers for those needing assistance, hiring paid food bank managers, procuring truckloads of bulk food to reduce costs, purchasing vehicles for food bank pick-up and delivery, partnering with organizations to add vital client services, initiating the Mobile Food Bank and streamlining operations,� Elliott recently stated. Despite her strength and decisiveness, Elliott is known for tender-heartedness for those in need in our community. Not infrequently, recounting the powerful stories of clients served brings a tear to her eye, and she often encourages FISH Food Banks’ staff and volunteers to go beyond standard practices to meet emergency client needs. Upon announcement of her retirement, Elliott remarked: “It has been both an honor and a blessing to have worked for FISH Food Banks of Pierce County. I have had the opportunity to work with incredibly generous people, and my faith has been renewed by witnessing the outpouring of compassionate care demonstrated by so many communities of faith.� “Beth Elliott is one of the most positive and productive people I know,� said Board President Debra Irwin. “She has transformed this organization and made it the strong and financially sound organization it is today. She is a great mentor to our staff and upholds our mission at all times. She

inspires all that she touches and I am sure she will continue that in her future endeavors. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her these past few years, and I will miss her tremendously.� Elliott holds a master’s degree in public recreation administration from Indiana University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Kentucky. She is the 2014 Chair of the Pierce County Human Services Coalition. The search for her successor will commence shortly under the direction of the Board of Directors.

When he began banging on the door, the victim called the police who arrived after the suspect had left. The police returned to the scene later to find the man once again banging on the door, asking for tires that were in the house. When questioned about why he was breaking his no-contact order, he stated he thought it didn’t count, since the victim was at her sister’s house. Unfortunately, the man’s logic didn’t quite work out, and he was booked into Fife Jail for violating an order of protection.

Business Spotlight: Community Acupuncture Studio By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

T

he costs of traditional health care often push people to look for alternatives including acupuncture. However, what happens when these alternatives become as expensive as hospitals? Where do you turn to then? Acupuncture specialist Gianna Prill has subscribed to a model that eases the financial burden of the therapy at her recently opened Community Acupuncture Studio, located at Suite 300 C on the third floor of the Passages Building at 708 Broadway. Community Acupuncture is a form of acupuncture that takes place in one giant room as opposed to private suites, drastically lowering the cost. As opposed to $75 per session, Prill offers a sliding scale of $20-$40, greatly increasing the feasibility of multiple trips. “A lot of times you need to come in frequently and I love that with a sliding scale I can say to people, ‘I need to see you back in three days’ and they can actually do it,� Prill said. The lower price of the service makes the Community Acupuncture Studio a great place for beginners to familiarize themselves with how acupuncture works without spending a fortune. “Acupuncture is just like chiropractic or going to the gym – it’s a process. When people say it doesn’t work and they try it one time, that isn’t fair,� Prill said. Prill also goes out of her way to consult with customers on a treatment plan, making sure they are getting the optimal amount of care. “The most common thing we treat is pain. It works really well for all types of pain, from back pains to headaches,� Prill said. Though there are no private rooms, customers get to relax in recliners while the process takes place. “The beauty of acupuncture is you don’t need to needle the area that hurts to treat it, so if someone has back pain, they can still sit in the recliner,� Prill said. “A lot of people fall asleep during their sessions.� Prill is happy to serve a community that is finding solutions in the world of acupuncture, and finds joy in providing help for her clients’ long-term problems. “The best part about my job in general is the people that I treat and that I work with. People have been looking for some kind of solution and they’re so excited that this has a result that they’re seeing benefits, and so excited that they’re seeing results,� Prill said. Prill has another location in Olympia that has been open for more than six years, where people would constantly ask her about locations closer to the Tacoma area. Seeing that no one was filling that hole, she opened the Community Acupuncture Studio in Tacoma last year. For more information on the Community Acupuncture Studio, call (253) 678-9234 or visit www.casolympia.com. The Community Acupuncture Studio in Tacoma is open Tuesday and Thursday from 1-7 p.m, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with the last appointments PHOTOS COURTESY OF COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE STUDIO being taken an hour before closing time. 9,3(?05.

Business Spotlight: Plato’s Closet By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

In 2012, Nancy Jornlin opened her own Plato’s Closet location. Today, the store is a conduit for donations across the community as well as a successful clothing store.

pening a new business during a tough economic downturn is a difficult task for anyone. But that’s exactly what Nancy Jornlin did in 2012 when she opened a Plato’s Closet location in Tacoma at 2505 S. 38th St. Plato’s Closet is a second-hand clothing store that focuses on higher-end items and making sure the latest fashion trends are always in stock at discounts of up to 70 percent, hitting the sweet spot of cool, trendy and inexpensive. “The store opened in the face of this bad economic downturn and the model works well even for stores in bad economies because it’s a place that fills a niche in bad times. It’s kind of tough out there right now. There’s a lot of unemployment and people need a place like us,� manager Mark Hollandsworth said. Plato’s Closet backs up their words with actions. The store has made many donations across the community including donating many of their clothes to the Lakewood Area Shelter Association (LASA) and Goodwill. The business of encouraging others to donate is just as important to the store as selling clothes “We’re more of a conduit,� Hollandsworth said. Though the store takes plenty of donations, only the cream of the crop goes onto the floor for resale, ensuring customers get a name brand feel for a second-hand price. “We’re looking for anything that was in stores in the last 12 to 18 months,� Hollandsworth said. “Reusing, recycling, getting the maximum we can out of that finite resource, that’s kind of the model. [Sellers] get paid one-third of the price we put it on the floor for,� Hollandsworth said. Plato’s Closet is expecting to close out the summer with a lot of sales, as it provides a nice alternative for kids to find the hippest clothes at a price their parents might be a little more comfortable with. “Back to school, we really try to capture a willing customer base that needs to have the clothes,� Hollandsworth said. Hollandsworth and Jornlin work together to make Plato’s Closet a family project, involving their 12 kids. Their daughters work and train to identify the top tier clothes the store will accept in trade-in’s, giving Tacoma’s Plato’s Closet a personal touch that sets it apart from other store branches. Plato’s Closet is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, call (253) 301-4723.

O

n Saturday, Aug. 23 come out with your family to Bradley Lake Park in Puyallup for a day full of pet-friendly fun at the second Annual Hounds on the Hill presented by Puyallup Parks and Recreation and South Hill Rotary. It will be a day of great pooch fun with a charity dog walk benefiting homeless families and student scholarships as well as a street fair. “Puyallup South Hill Rotary supports many causes in the community, including academic scholarships for local graduating high school seniors and Pierce College students, transitional housing for local homeless families, and more. The club currently owns two duplexes in Puyallup, which Helping Hand House uses to provide a safe, warm place for families in need,� said Trish Cole, one of the coordinators for Hounds on the Hill. The festivities begin with registration for the dog walk beginning at 9 a.m. Stroll about beautiful Bradley Lake Park with man’s best friend at your side. The day’s events are packed with a Dog Bob, where dogs retrieve a ball from a wading pool for a chance to win a prize, beginning at 10 a.m. and continuing all day. And don’t miss a demonstration by the Pierce County Sheriff ’s K-9 Unit at 10:30 a.m. “It is a very exciting demonstration of the relationship between dog and officer as the dogs are officers as well. They show some of the attack and hold moves then the human officers answer questions for the crowd,� Cole said. Hounds on the Hill enjoys the support of some great sponsors such as Petco, South Hill Veterinary Hospital and VCA Animal Hospitals, to name a few. Petco will

be giving a demonstration at 1 p.m. “Petco has a variety of agility demonstrations including weaving between poles, going through tunnels, over teeter-totters, obedience and tricks,� said Cole. The schedule continues with afternoon events like Pup Polo, where dogs and owners compete by pushing treat filled balls to the finish line. If you and your pooch have a competitive side then the Pup Polo event will be right up your alley. No matter what breed of dog you have, Hounds on the Hill has something fun planned for pets of every size and shape. Throughout the afternoon compete in one of three different Doggie Dashes. At 11:30 a.m. are the 40-yard Doggie Dash races for big dogs, 45-plus pounds. Following at 12:30 p.m. is the 20-yard Doggie Dash races for medium dogs, 16-40 pounds. Last but not least for the petite pooches is the 20-yard Doggie Dash for small dogs, one to 15 pounds. Spend the afternoon making memories and being active with the whole family at Bradley Lake Park. Mud Bay will be supplying all the prizes for these contests as well as the grand prize for the Paw Pass winner. A fun activity to cool off with your pooch is the Splash Dash, where dogs and owners compete by retrieving a treat from a wading pool. An owner and dog look-alike contest and parade happen at 2 p.m. so bring the whole family, including your furry friend, dressed to impress in your best costumes. At 2:30 p.m. there will be a raffle as well as past crowd favorite Best Kisser and Best Trick competition. “We will have a variety of items [for the raffle] including six months of Royal Canine dog food, golf tee-time for four at Fircrest Golf Club, autographed Doug Baldwin Seahawks program, Rainers tickets, Piddle Pad (for dogs), personal trainer sessions, Les Schwab auto service

3662 (302, The 2014 Hounds on the Hill will feature a dog and owner look-alike competition for those attendees who would like to dress up with their four-legged friends.

0[ÂťZ UV[ LHZ` ILPUN NYLLU By Don C. Brunell Reducing mankind’s carbon footprint has become the defining issue of our time and rightly so. Virtually every level of government has policies to reduce greenhouse gases by regulating everything from industrial CO2 emissions to cow flatulence. But as Kermit the Frog said, “It’s not easy being green.â€? It turns out that some good ideas don’t work well – or not at all. Still, the government continues to mandate them. For example, a three-year study funded by the Department of Energy confirmed that producing ethanol from corn and corn stalks creates more greenhouse gases than it prevents. Despite this, the government still mandates its use in gasoline and diesel. Wind turbines are costly and still kill thousands of birds a year. On the best wind energy sites, those towering turbines generate electricity about 40 percent of the time. Nevertheless, the president wants to continue taxpayer subsidies for another 30 years. The solar energy industry has been plagued by bad loans and bankruptcies, and despite billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, solar energy produces only 0.2 percent of our nation’s electricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. What about energy efficiency? Is that a foolproof way to reduce greenhouse gases? Well, that depends. Analysts have discovered that certified “greenâ€? buildings actually can use more

energy than standard buildings. Much of the controversy centers on LEED, the country’s primary green building accreditation program. Operated by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council, LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification has become the gold standard for energy efficient buildings. But LEED certification doesn’t guarantee energy efficiency. For example, the Bank of America Tower in New York received a platinum level LEED certification as “the world’s most environmentally responsible highrise� when it opened in 2010. But a 2013 study by the city revealed that the billion-dollar building generates more greenhouse gases and uses more energy than any other office tower its size in Manhattan. LEED officials point out that how tenants use a building has a big impact on actual energy usage. In an attempt to quantify that, the Building Council is requiring all newly certified buildings to provide their energy and water bills for the first five years. What’s the situation in Washington? Since 2005, the state has mandated that new and renovated public buildings meet one of three “green� building standards, including LEED. A 2011 audit found problems saying it is difficult to evaluate the program because of incomplete reporting by state agencies – a problem that persists today. Because not all state buildings have individual utility meters and the types of buildings vary greatly (office buildings,

prisons, welding shops, etc.) tracking utility usage and comparing “apples to apples� with traditional buildings is difficult. It has been nine years since the state launched its “green� building program and Washington still lacks a comprehensive system to track performance. While computer projections suggest significant benefits, they cannot be verified until the actual electricity and water usage are determined. Architect Sidney Hunt, with the Department of Enterprise Services, is working to develop a metering program that will track energy and water usage for every certified state building. His mantra is, “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.� Gov. Jay Inslee wants to expand “green� building certification in the private sector. But LEED certified buildings cost more. Are we sure the benefits are worth the added cost? Could the money be better spent on more effective environmental measures? We need to ask – and answer – those questions. As we’ve seen with ethanol, wind power and solar energy, actual performance doesn’t always measure up. We need to make sure our “green� buildings program works as promised. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver.

*LUZVYZOPW HUK T`[O THRPUN LUZOYPULK PNUVYHUJL VM /PYVZOPTH HUK [OL IVTI By John LaForge The U.S. atomic destruction of 140,000 people at Hiroshima and 70,000 at Nagasaki was never “necessary� because Japan was already smashed, no land invasion was needed and Japan was suing for peace. The official myth that “the bombs saved lives� by hurrying Japan’s surrender can no longer be believed, except by those who love to be fooled. The long-standing fiction has been destroyed by the historical record kept in U.S., Soviet, Japanese and British archives – now mostly declassified – and detailed by Ward Wilson in his book “Five Myths about Nuclear Weapons� (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013). Greg Mitchell’s “Atomic Cover-Up� (Sinclair Books, 2011) also helps explain the durability of the “saved lives� ruse. Wartime and occupation censors seized all films and still photos of the two atomic cities, and the U.S. government kept them hidden for decades. Even in 1968, newsreel footage from Hiroshima held in the National Archives was stamped, “SECRET, Not To Be Released Without the Approval of the DOD.� Photos of the atomized cities that did reach the public merely showed burned buildings or mushroom clouds – rarely human victims. In “Hiroshima in America: 50 Years of Denial,� (Grosset/Putnam, 1995) Robert Lifton and Mitchell note that Gen. Leslie Groves, head of the Manhattan Project, “left nothing to chance.� Even before Hiroshima, he prohibited U.S. commanders from commenting on the atomic attacks without clearance from the War Department. “We didn’t want MacArthur and others saying the war could have been won without the bomb,� Groves said. In fact, MacArthur did not believe

the bomb was needed to end the war, but he too established a censorship program as commander of the U.S. occupation of Japan. He banned reporters from visiting Hiroshima or Nagasaki, expelled reporters who defied the ban and later said that those who complained that censorship existed in Japan were engaged in “a maliciously false propaganda campaign.â€? That most people in the United States still believe the “saved livesâ€? rationale to be true is because of decades of this censorship and myth making, begun by President Harry Truman, who said Aug. 6, 1945, “Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese Army base. ‌ That was because we wished this first attack to avoid, insofar as possible, the killing of civilians.â€? In fact, the city of 350,000 had practically no military value at all and the target was the city, not the base three kilometers away. Taking President Truman at his word, the 140,000 civilians killed at Hiroshima are the minimum to be expected when exploding a small nuclear weapon on a “military base.â€? Today’s “smallâ€? cruise missile warheads, which are 12 times the power of Truman’s A-bomb, could kill 1.68 million each. Official censorship of what the two bombs did to people and the reasons for it has been so successful that 25 years of debunking hasn’t managed to generally topple the official narrative. In 1989, historian Gar Alperovitz reported, “American leaders knew well in advance that the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not required to bring about Japan’s surrender;â€? and later, in his 847page “The Decision to Use the Atomic Bombâ€? (Random House, 1995), “I think it can be proven that the bomb was not only unnecessary but known in advance

not to be necessary.â€? The popular myth “didn’t just happen,â€? Alperovitz says, “it was created.â€? Kept hidden for decades was the 1946 U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey’s conclusion that Japan almost certainly would have surrendered in 1945 without the atomic bombs, without a Soviet invasion and without a U.S. invasion. Not long after V-J Day in 1945, Brig. Gen. Bonnie Feller wrote, “Neither the atomic bombing nor the entry of the Soviet Union into the war forced Japan’s unconditional surrender. She was defeated before either of these events took place.â€? President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star general and the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, said in his memoirs he believed “that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary.â€? Adm. William Leahy, the wartime chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote in 1950, “It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material success in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender‌.â€? Feller’s, Ike’s and Leahy’s opinions were conspicuously left out of or censored by the Smithsonian Institution’s 1995 display of the atomic B-29 bomber “Enola Gay.â€? Admiral Leahy’s 1950 myth-and censor-busting about the bomb could be an epitaph for the nuclear age: “I was not taught to make war in that fashion,â€? he said of Hiroshima’s incineration, “and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children.â€? John LaForge writes for PeaceVoice, is co-director of Nukewatch, a nuclear watchdog and environmental justice group, and lives at the Plowshares Land Trust near Luck, Wisc.

The first marijuana retail store in Tacoma opened with much fanfare last week complete with mayoral speeches, media crews and lines of people seeking pot and cannabis-related products. It was a long time in the making, since Washington voters approved Initiative 502 to legalize marijuana retail sales back in 2012. The Liquor Control Board set up taxing, licensing and control processes, while Tacoma tackled zoning and security guidelines associated with the issuance of business licenses. The first day of operations at Rainier on Pine passed without incident, other than cash registers ringing up sale after sale after sale of marijuana in all its forms. While other cities and local governments – namely Pierce County, Fife, Edgewood, Milton, Lakewood and Gig Harbor – have either banned or tightly restricted retail marijuana operations, Tacoma opted to honor the will of the voters by providing a framework for shops to operate. But with the turning of the open sign at the door, work remains to clear the cloud of legal smoke surrounding marijuana sales in Washington. Among the issues still to be worked out is public education of what is considered drugged driving when a driver gets behind the wheel of a car after toking up a fatty or noshing on a pot-laced brownie, and what sort of labeling surrounding dosage and strength will be required on food products crafted with marijuana. Maybe the future will bring pot-beer or marijuana pizza or even cannabis corn chips. But the future could also bring up issues of food safety and unintentional drugging by accidental eating of products. The state-regulated system is only expected to capture about 15 to 20 percent of the marijuana market, with the rest going to backroom growand-sale operations, which will offer lower prices at the cost of state coffers since they would not be taxed. Much like cigarettes or alcohol, legal marijuana sales come with heavy taxes and regulations. So the question remains regarding the level of enforcement there will be to thwart illegal sales as a way to boost sales in licensed operations as a way to increase the tax revenue that comes with it. State officials know they are leaving a lot of money on the table by looking the other way when it comes to untaxed, street-level pot sales. One would suspect that a handful of illegal grow operations will be raided before the end of the year to highlight the risks of buying pot from a guy on the street corner rather than through a licensed shop in much the same way law enforcement agents sporadically raid shops that sell untaxed cigarettes and alcohol. And then there is the issue of marijuana being legal to buy, sell and smoke within the state but regarded as a dangerous drug in the eyes of the federal government. A handful of lawsuits around the state that are working their way to courtrooms will likely solve some of these issues, but the debate is not yet over. The legalization of marijuana is far from settled.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, We need more humans like Chris Britt. What a delight! Wish he was a family member. Folks who complain about his refreshing wit are probably those with a massive self-importance face – a face that cannot look in the mirror and kiss their reflection. A self-important face that has never written a dynamic poem, read a book a day, had acupuncture, painted 10 canvases in a month, spoken words of softness to a hooker, reported crying at night knowing a kid was being violated, fed the crows. Yes – hooray for Chris Britt! Shadow BlueHeron Manywhales (age 84) Tacoma

“We’ve been relatively under the radar here in Tacoma, but with the addition of the new facility and the infrastructure we’ve spent the last several years getting in place – the new training building, our docks and the ships – we’re ready to go to that next level,� Russell said. “This grant is a big deal and is recognizing all the work that’s gone into things to now.� Upon completion of the administration building, it will be named the Keith Birkenfeld Maritime Building, after the C. Keith Birkenfeld Memorial Trust of the Seattle Foundation from where the funds came. With the total project budget currently at about $450,000 and $250,000 coming from the grant, the foundation will seek further grants and donations to secure the remaining $200,000. “The fact that we’ve raised over half the funding needed now bodes well for generating matching funds,� Russell said. BCRA Architects and Korsmo Construction, both of Tacoma, are the project developers for what will be a significant improvement along the shores of the Foss Waterway. Remodeling of the building will make for a bigger training area and add additional office space to attract other nonprofit or maritime focused groups to sublease space. This would help supplement Tacoma Youth Marine Foundation’s income, along with the continued operation of the Tacoma Fuel Dock and Commencement Bay Marine Services, the profits from which go directly to support the Tacoma Youth Marine Center.

W Election From page A1 Christine Kilduff for the second house seat in the 28th District, with Republican Monique Trudnowski showing a threepoint lag in early returns.

Additional funds are generated through private donations, public grants and minimal program fees. The other $250,000 of the $500,000 grant will go to support the maintenance and capital needs of the Tacoma Youth Marine Center’s three main training ships: Odyssey, Charles N. Curtis and VeritĂŠ. With its mast being the tallest mast in the South Sound, the 90-foot yawl Odyssey is affectionately known as “Tacoma’s own tall shipâ€? and is the largest Sea Scout sailing vessel in the country, while the 38-foot Curtis is the longest continuously serving Sea Scout ship in the United States. Both are U.S. Coast Guard certified vessels. “The nice thing for us is that by having the Coast Guard standards, we train our kids to that level so they have to learn GPS, navigation and radar. They’re training to a professional level,â€? Russell said. “Because they’re trained to that level, any of our kids can go to the Bahamas, the Mediterranean or anywhere they do charters and become a paid crew member as a job opportunity.â€? Many stay in the Puget Sound area as future recreational boaters on the waterfront, future yacht club members and the engines of future marine related service and retail around the Puget Sound. “And many of our youth go on to higher education and opportunities in the maritime economy working for the state ferry system, for local companies like Foss or at our ports, and they are also manning our Coast Guard stations and serving our country in the Navy or Marines.â€?

The grant will allow for these ships to be sustained for years to come by funding large capital needs such as new engines, sails, electronics and safety equipment. “Items like these are expensive but once installed will serve the program for years or decades,� Russell said. For example, the old motor in the Odyssey has served the vessel well for more than 40 years. A new, well-maintained motor will last for 30 years or longer and new sails can last up to 15 years. “That is more good news for Tacoma in that our ability to serve youth and the community for years and decades to come is much improved.� Perhaps most importantly, the halfmillion dollar grant will give a real boost the Tacoma Youth Marine Foundation’s 138 Sea Scouts, a branch of the Boy Scouts for maritime interests. The Sea Scouts program is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. “From Sea Scouts, kids can get into the Coast Guard or Navy or any service branch, or work on the state ferry service or up in Alaska or go to Cal Maritime (California Maritime Academy), which is the Harvard of maritime education institutions on the West Coast,� Russell said. “We have three kids going there this year and many, many that have gone there in the past.� Young people are needed for maritime work, Russell said, as the current maritime trades workforce continues to age. “If you look at the demographics of the people in maritime trades, 10 years ago it was 40 (years old), five years ago

it was 47 and now it’s getting closer to 50. They’re seeing a pattern and saying we need more people to get engaged in maritime trades. We see ourselves as a pipeline to feed that entry as well. “When you connect the dots that the Puget Sound, Port of Tacoma and entire marine economy is dependent on new people coming in and filling those jobs, new people buying boats, new people joining yacht clubs, new people buying equipment and being out here on the water and supplying our maritime history with a future, you understand the pipeline that we’re feeding.â€? The Youth Marine Foundation and the Sea Scouts themselves consistently recruit young people from area schools, church groups, Boys and Girls Club and any group interested in what the Tacoma Youth Marine Center has to offer, and at very affordable rates. Now with the Foundation on solid financial footing for the future, more young people will reap the benefits, as will all of Tacoma. “Our Sea Scout program is the best in the nation, as far as I’m concerned, our programs to get kids out on the water are running and established, our partnerships are solid, we’ve got our training building, our new docks, we’ve got our facility, we’ve got our 30-year lease with the Port‌we’re ready to go to the next step,â€?

tion and tourism experiences. Tacoma delegates paid their own way to France. In Tacoma, the money is tighter. It, for example, had $2,000 to cover the Biot delegates’ visit in October of 2012. Rather than spend it all on a budget motel, Sarnat offered to host the delegates at her home. “I said, ‘I have 11 bedrooms. Why not let them stay at a landmark?’ They loved it,� Sarnat said. She bought the Richard Vaeth House overlooking Commencement Bay when it was a wreck in the 1980s. She has restored it, and loves to explore and share its history. Vaeth, she said, was a jeweler so wealthy that Henry Ford paid him a week-long visit when he was looking for investors for his automobile company. Vaeth declined, but showed Ford the best side of the City of Destiny. The house is both historic and happy, Sarnat said. The house, and a tiny condo Sarnat owns near Biot, came into play again as plans for the exchange developed with the teams from Biot and Tacoma, including Hilltop Artists Executive Director Kit Evans. “This student exchange thing kept growing, and I thought Kit should see where they would be going, getting a finger on the pulse of it,� Sarnat said. So she invited her to stay in her condo near Biot, and visit all the people who would be responsible for a student. The Pierini family offered to host the student at their homes and in their studio. Evans and Sarnat agreed to host the student from France. The program was ready for the stu-

That was in April 2013, when the new partners were beginning to figure out how to shape their relationship to benefit both cities. They had laid down the basics. Glass artists from both cities already were visiting back and forth between the Museum of Glass, Hilltop Artists and the big hot shops and galleries in Biot. The previous fall, French delegates had come to Tacoma to sign the sister cities agreement, and to get to know their new glass sister through tours and receptions. The French were returning the hospitality and info blitz, including the trip to that school, when the student exchange buzz got going. “That’s when the Mayor of Biot got excited about it,� Sarnat said. “They wanted to get students involved in glass blowing, which is a Tacoma strength.� Though glass blowing has been a Biot tradition since artisans developed a distinctive bubble glass in the Middle Ages, the city does not have a youth program comparable to Hilltop Artists. The mayor wanted to learn how Tacomans run it, and why kids like it. An exchange looked like a good way to do it, and to generate excitement. But it’s one thing for glass master Antoine Pierini, son and partner of Robert Pierini, to hop on a plane and drop in on his pals Ben Cobb and Sarah Gilbert at the Museum of Glass, then tour around the Northwest’s studios. Sending two kids, solo, across an ocean and a continent is more complicated. That’s where the Tacoma delegates’ ingenuity and generosity kicked Lighthouse Laundry in – again.

dents. In Biot, Arsene Brie had been studying English and ceramics at the Leonardo di Vinci school. “I like art,� he said. “My Dad said, ‘If you want, you can go to Tacoma, our sister city, to learn glass.’ I said yes. I had already made an apprenticeship in glass.� Brie met Douglas Burgess and Sarnat’s nephew, Chase Freeman, at Hilltop Artists summer session, where they made floats, cups, bowls, eggs and animals. After that, he worked at the Museum of Glass with Ben Cobb “In Biot, it is watch and learn. In Tacoma, it’s watch and do,� he said of the teaching styles. Tacoma’s is better, he said. Tacoma also has paintball, laser tag, go-karts, barbecues, baseball and a green and leafy landscape, which he explored with Freeman. “The exchange was very good,� he said. “I want to try it again and again and again. Tacoma is very cool.� In Tacoma, Burgess had been at Hilltop Artists since he was 12, and studying French since he started at Lincoln High School, where he will be a senior. Of Native American ancestry, he has roots in the Haida, Dakota and Umpqua tribes and dances and cooks salmon with the Argosy Cruise program at Tillicum Village on Blake Island. Three months ago, he was asked if he would be interested in the exchange, said yes, and began raising close to $3,000 with small grants, glass sales and his work.

His mother, Nancy Burgess, a traditional weaver, began on the thank-you gifts, pieces of Native art. She sent baskets she had made, and a purse that became a family project. Her daughter started the weaving; Nancy Burgess completed it; a nephew made the black silk lining, and the glass family at Hilltop Artists made the red, white and blue bead for the clasp. In Biot, Burgess studied and stayed with the Pierini family. “Antoine is very beloved in the town,� he said. “His father bought the olive oil mill for their studio.� That’s where he learned to make the oversized paperweights swirling with color and bubbles that are a Pierini specialty. Antoine Pierini goes beyond the small bubbles made by dipping the molten glass in baking soda. “We had a wood thing with pokey sticks to make the smaller bubbles that look like drops of mercury, and an air gun to make the big bubbles.� That’s a technique he’s itching to share at Hilltop Artists. In the evenings, he said, he walked up the hill to the original walled city and explored the streets and shops. He learned to play petanque, won a trophy in a kid’s tournament, and was featured in the local paper. “After two days, I guess everyone had heard of me. I would be walking around the town, with people shaking my hand. I met the mayor,� he said. “I’m so young, and I’ve had the opportunity to be a world traveler.� And an ambassador.

ight handed relief pitcher Logan Kensing has had a long career coming out of the bullpen. Drafted by the Marlins in 2003, the 32-year-old also played for the Nationals, the Rockies and 13 Minor League teams. He was signed by Seattle last January as a Minor League free agent. Now in his 11th season, he continues to enjoy the game, sporting a 4-1 record and a 2.47 ERA with two saves for the Rainiers. His 40 appearances this season lead the staff. The Texas native sat down recently with Tacoma Weekly baseball correspondent Karen Westeen to talk about the long and winding road that brought him to the Rainiers. KW: Where do you currently live in the off-season? LK: I have dual residency. My wife and I own a townhouse in Florida and I bought a house right after I got drafted in my hometown just north of San Antonio, Texas. KW: Where do you actually call your home? LK: We go back and forth but this year we’re going to spend most of the time in Texas. KW: Do you have kids? LK: No kids, just one dog. KW: Does your wife get to come here to see you play? LK: She’s here with me this whole year in Tacoma. She recently quit her job because we’re thinking of starting a family. KW: What’s your earliest baseball memory? LK: I played all the sports as a kid but my dad kind of harped on baseball. I worked a lot in the backyard and when he had extra time we’d take grounders at the city park and work in the cages. I’ve always enjoyed all aspects of baseball. KW: What were some of the other sports? LK: I ran track, played volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball, if it could be done outside I did it. KW: Did you come from a big family? LK: I was an only child but my folks came from big families so I have lots of aunts and uncles and cousins. Holidays were pure chaos and I loved it. KW: Have you always been a pitcher? LK: I played everywhere. I started out catching, third base, outfield and first base in high school. When I got to college I was going to play third and pitch but it was a little hard to do both so I concentrated on pitching. KW: You attended Texas A & M for

Now in their fifth season, the Puget Sound Outlaws were searching for that victory that had been eluding them for the previous four: a playoff win. Saturday, Aug. 2 the Outlaws took care of business on their home turf at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood and finally claimed a post-season win, thumping the Thurston County Mayhem 35-10. Outlaws head coach Richard Warren and offensive coordinator Jayce Joseph were showered with coolers full of ice by their players as the game clock wound down to zeroes. It was not as sticky as Gatorade, but it was some cool relief at the end of a hot day and a four-year wait, and the feeling was sweet all around. “It was the best feeling I’ve had since I got married last year,” said the exuberant Warren. “I’ve been waiting for that ice bath for a long time.” With the win, the Outlaws move on to the semifinals Saturday, Aug. 9 to face the WWFA regular season champion Puyallup Nation Kings. The Kings will enter the game an undefeated 9-0 and ranked number five in the American Football News Today poll. In their last meeting on July 12, the Outlaws fell to the Kings 14-0 in a tight and physical battle that was, at the time, the closest contest Puyallup had been involved in. In the first-round playoff match-up Thurston County put up a valiant effort against the Outlaws but was unable to match Puget Sound’s big plays and smothering defense. Following a three-and-out by the defense to open the game, the Outlaws struck first on their first possession when quarterback Bryce Williams connected with a streaking Naaman Springs in the end-zone for a 23-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. On the Outlaws’ next possession, the Mayhem defense firmed-up and forced a punting situation at the Puget Sound 42-yard line. Punter Justice Waite had trouble handling the snap and the ball got behind him. Mayhem defensive end Webster Fepuleai scooped up the ball and sprinted 30 yards to the end zone. The Mayhem ran in the point after and took an 8-7 lead. It would prove to be the last point in which the game was really in doubt. Puget Sound would respond with a 59-yard scoring drive capped by a 20-yard touchdown pass from Williams to Springs with 1:42 remaining in the first quarter. The Outlaws regained the lead 14-8. The two teams went back and forth for nearly the entire second quarter without a score until the Outlaws defense pushed the Mayhem back to their own five-yard line. On third-and-23, Thurston quarterback Anthony Chaney dropped back to pass and was blindsided by the Outlaws’ Chriss Woods. The ball bounced into the end zone, where defensive tackle Dionisio Cadogan fell onto the ball for another Outlaws touchdown with 1:31 left in the second quarter and a 21-8 lead going into halftime. The Outlaws were in quick-strike mode following the opening kickoff of the second half. After two plays and a total of three yards, Williams went to the air again and fired a deep ball down field finding a wide-open Herb Shaw near the sidelines. Shaw cut back toward the middle of the field, juking the Mayhem’s last defender and trotted into the end zone untouched for a 62-yard touchdown and a 28-8 Outlaw advantage.

ocal soccer phenom and all-around nice guy, Derek Johnson, is finally shaking off the “hometown kidâ€? label and taking his game to another level and locale. After starring on the soccer pitch for Franklin Pierce HS, Pacific Lutheran University, South Sound FC and the Sounders U-23, the 22-year old will spend the next two months playing soccer professionally – in Sweden. Johnson has signed a professional contract with IFK Stockaryd/RĂśrviks IF, a fourth-level elite club 239 miles southwest of Stockholm, Sweden. The former Lute is already in-country and will be playing his first game with the club Saturday, Aug. 9 and the Swedes have been looking forward to having him. “It is our hope that Derek will be able to be inspired and provide energy to the team in the situation we are today,â€? said Ronny Roos, sports director of the club. “We are struggling right now to stay in the division we play in without the need for qualifiers. Our long-term goal is to take another step up the divisions here in Sweden. “Provided Derek is the player we’ve heard he is, he will go straight into the starting 11 formation.â€? South Sound FC captain and Pierce College coach Micah Wenzel sees this opportunity for Johnson as a payoff for his years of hard work and dedication to his sport. “Since South Sound FC’s formation, he has been a leader in the group, taking younger guys under his wing and looking up to the older guys that he knew could help him and taking any advice he could,â€? said Wenzel. “It’s great to see a guy get such a reward – signing a foreign contract – after watching all the work he has put in to get where he is now.â€? We caught up with Derek during his long flight to Sweden and here’s how it went: TW: Soccer is a huge sport with kids in the Puget Sound. How, when and why did you start playing and what has kept you at it all the way until today? DJ: Neither of my parents played soccer growing up, but my dad was a huge Tacoma Stars fan. He got me into soccer when I was 4 or 5. My first team was called the Tacoma Stars at the Lakewood Rec Center! I played lots of sports growing up, but the reason I chose soccer is because it’s a game where you are always moving and thinking. There are no stop and starts and it takes 11 creative minds working together to be successful. TW: What are your fondest memories of Franklin Pierce soccer? DJ: Probably my junior year when we made it to the state semifinals. We beat Seattle Prep in the quarterfinals, which felt like David beating Goliath. We were a group of kids from middle-class families and only a handful of the guys played club soccer. We worked really hard and achieved more than anyone thought we could. TW: What brought you to PLU? DJ: Coach John Yorke gave me the opportunity to attend a great school and be a part of a successful soccer program. Being close to home was also a huge benefit. I was able to go to school, coach my little brother’s soccer team, work at Sporthaus and play for South Sound in my off-season. Being close to South Sound FC allowed me to play soccer year round. During my four years at PLU I don’t think I took more than three weeks off at any given time. Playing competitively year round gave me an edge and allowed me to improve at an accelerated rate. TW: You stayed at PLU for fouryears – it must have made a big impact in your life. Are you glad you did it all in your hometown? DJ: I tell people all the time it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Some people have negative views of Division 3 athletics, but I really believe D3 is a special thing. Since athletic scholarships are not awarded, the

athletes are playing for the love of the game. My teammates and my opponents were some of the most naturally competitive people you will ever meet. They didn’t need a scholarship to devote a lot of time and sweat to soccer. In addition, it was a blessing to be able to play in front of family and friends every week. My family is my biggest support and they were at almost every game. TW: Your relationship with South Sound FC goes back a ways – indoor and outdoor – How has the experience changed you as a person and a player - and has the soccer program improved? DJ: First of all, I can’t describe how thankful I am for John Crouch. He has sacrificed so much for me and encouraged me to pursue my dream. What he has built at South Sound FC has not only had a great impact on me, but countless other young guys in our community. He is building more than just soccer players at SSFC. South Sound FC provided me an opportunity to surround myself with older, more experienced players from the area. These guys really taught me what it means to play for the badge on the front of the jersey instead of the name on the back. We like to say we play “blue-collar soccer,� which means we work hard and battle for each other on the field. These guys have become like family to me, and I know they will always be there for me on and off the field. TW: How did you get involved with the Sounders U-23? Did you PHOTO BY JEFF HALSTEAD enjoy the experience? How much ;(205. -30./; Former Lute Derek Johnson will test his skills at the action did you get? DJ: I attended the open tryout in pro-level in Sweden for a couple of months. TW: What are your professional aspirations? 2013 and was called back for the DJ: I think every high-level player’s goal should be to start of the season.

The Tacoma Stars are pleased to announce that Federal Way. native Darren Sawatzky has been hired as the head coach of the club ahead of its November debut in the Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL). Sawatzky will begin immediately to plan the soccer build-up of the Stars as they return to their historic home in the Tacoma Soccer Center. John Crouch, Stars general manager, knows that bringing Sawatzky into the Stars family is a big step for Tacoma. “Darren has played professionally both on the indoor and outdoor side and he is from our area. He was always a blue-collar type of player and we love the expertise and work ethic that he will bring to the field. We know that his coaching will bring highlevel sessions and great preparation for all of our players. We also believe that having Darren as our head coach will make a statement to the players as to what type of opportunities can develop in playing with the Tacoma Stars.� “The Tacoma Stars, and the great players and coaches that have been part of the franchise, are ingrained in the Northwest,� Sawatzky says. “We will look to honor that with a competitive team in the WISL. We will first look to assemble a team with local players to compete in the first year of the new league. John (Crouch, Stars GM) has a vast knowledge of this level and the local players. We look forward to helping these players grow and compete.� “I watched the Tacoma Stars as a young player and that name still rings true with indoor soccer,� Sawatzky reflects. “Any time you are able to coach a group of young players, it is exciting to see what you can build. I played most of the 2001 indoor season for the Kansas City Comets so I have some knowledge of the indoor game but all games evolve and I look forward to learning as we build our team.� Many will recognize Sawatzky in his role as the head coach of the PDL Sounders U-23 and his pivotal work in establishing the Seattle Sounders FC Youth Academy. Sawatzky has experience coaching at the youth, elite academy, college and professional level. The Thomas Jefferson High School (Federal Way) alumnus returned to coach his alma mater to a WIAA state championship in 2004 when he was also named Coach of the Year. He was on the coaching staffs of the USL Seattle Sounders and Washington Huskies. Darren has served as the director of coaching at Highline Premier FC and is currently the technical director at Mercer Island FC. The University of Portland graduate had a long playing career at the professional level before rising in the coaching ranks. His playing days include being a member of the U.S. Olympic Team Pool, playing for the Major League Soccer New England Revolution, Dallas Burn and Colorado Rapids. Sawatzky has also played for the USL Seattle Sounders, and Portland Timbers and indoors for the former MISL Kansas City Comets. Sawatzky holds a USSF A coaching license and also participated in the MLS/French Football Federation Academy Coaches World Class Training through a 16-month development course and is slated to earn his Elite Formation Coaching License in November. As the U23 Academy Director of the MLS Sounders he will then be part of the elite French Formation License team. This top-tier license takes into account the minute detail of each player to increase player development. The rigorous program integrates the focus on each player’s physical, tactical, psychological, and emotional development. Majority owner of the Tacoma Stars Lane Smith has watched Sawatzky in action over recent years. “Darren has done a great job for us as head coach of the Sounders U-23 and we are really happy that he’s stepping up to take on this new challenge. He’s an expert at developing talent and we know that our players and fans are in for a treat with Darren’s dedication to hard work and building community.� The Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL) was announced in June of 2014. The Tacoma Stars join the Wenatchee Fire, WSA Rapids, Arlington Aviators and a new Snohomish County club as the five members who have entered the WISL so far. The WISL (it can be pronounced “whistle�) movement gained steam after the outdoor Evergreen Premier League made its debut this spring and summer as another outlet for owners and talented players. Several of the people and clubs involved in the successful launch of that grass-roots league are also involved with the creation of the WISL. Fans and players can join the development of the WISL and chart its progress online at WISLnews.com, Facebook. com/WISLnews and Twitter.com/WISLnews. Any questions from owners, players or fans can be sent to WISLnews@gmail. com. “The Tacoma Stars name is one that many soccer people in Washington and even around the country have always held in high regard,� says Smith. “We are thrilled to be bringing that famous name back into competition and at the same time helping to start a league for fans, players and owners that understands and respects local indoor soccer culture and history.� Fans can follow the Stars at facebook.com/tacomastars.

The Pacific Lutheran women’s soccer program will debut a lot of new faces when the Lutes take the field for the 2014

fall season later this month, as third-year head coach Seth Spidahl announced a 13-player recruiting class on Friday. Spidahl signed numerous players from all around the Pacific Northwest, along with one student-athlete from Hawaii and another from Norway. The Lutes hope the newcomers can step right in to contribute to a team that reached double-digit wins in 2013 for the first time in seven years and is aiming for its first Northwest Conference title since 1992. Megan Anderson was a four-year varsity player at Todd Beamer High School and a three-time All-SPSL honoree. She gained some team leadership experience during her senior campaign as a team captain and will play both at forward and on defense for PLU. Christiane Astorp comes to the Lutes all the way from Oslo, Norway, where she played for Bjerke UGS. She already spent some time with the team in the spring and will play center midfield for the Lutes. Machaela Graddy earned countless honors during a stellar four-year prep career at Eatonville High School. She twice earned 1A First Team All-State honors, claimed Nisqually League MVP honors as a senior and Offensive MVP honors as a junior and was named the Tacoma Athletic Commission Athlete of the Year following her senior season. During her time at Eatonville, Graddy scored 103 total goals, and Spidahl expects her to bring her goal scoring prowess to the Lutes. Jordan Haggerty comes to the Lutes from Mountain View High School in Idaho, where she was a team captain during her senior year and earned academic all-conference honors. On the club side, she played for an FC Nova Soccer Club that won a pair of state championships. She has the potential to play both forward and on defense. Emily Hanna joins the PLU program with two years of eligibility remaining after spending two seasons at Highline Community College. She was the captain of the Highline squad last season, making the NWAACC All Star team after scoring eight goals and tallying five assists. She played four years of varsity soccer at Kentridge High School and also played with Dos Football Club. She will be a center midfielder for the Lutes. Rebecca Hultman is one of two goalkeepers in the 2014 class as the Lutes look to reinforce the position behind returner Takara Mitsui. Hultman was the captain for her club team as she played with Farasi Kujumalo. Kristi Kaneta comes to PLU all the way from Iolani High School in Hawaii. She has an extensive list of accomplishments at the club and prep level, as she captained the Honolulu Bulls club squad for 10 years. She was a member of the 2009 ODP championship team and helped lead her team to the Hawaii State Club Championship in both 2012 and 2014. She will play center back for the Lutes. Bryce Kennedy joins Hultman among incoming goalkeepers for PLU this season, and she has a long line of experience backing her up. She played for Crossfire ECNL until her junior year and won a club national championship in 2009. During her senior season she played with Eastside Football Club, winning a club state championship at U18, and she earned second-team All-King-Co as a senior at Eastlake High School. She spent last season at Walla Walla Community College and will have three years of eligibility remaining at PLU. Taylor Lunde joins the Lutes at the midfield and forward positions. She was named both NWC Offensive Player of the year and Girls’ Soccer Player of the Year in 2013 and claimed First-Team All-State honors three times, 2011-13. She was also a first-team all-county player in 2012 and 2013. Ashley Mindich was a four-year varsity player for Sehome High School and helped lead her squad to a WIAA State Championship during her freshman year and a runner-up finish during her junior season. She also played club soccer for the Whatcom Rangers and will play forward for the Lutes. Kailey Robinson will play center back for the Lutes after a strong four-year career at Auburn High School. She earned first-team All-SPSL honors as both a junior and senior, along with Defensive MVP honors both years, after claiming second-team recognition during her sophomore season. She was also named Honorable Mention All-State as a junior. Savannah Schumacher capped a four-year varsity career at Hillcrest High School in Idaho with first-team all-conference honors during her senior season. She was a three-time honorable mention all-area recipient and will play forward for the Lutes. Hailey Smoot makes the close trip to PLU from Puyallup High School, where she was a team captain. She was a two-time SPSL South honorable mention recipient and also claimed second-team all-league honors. She will play in the midfield for PLU. The Lutes’ 13 newcomers will join a corps of 14 returners as PLU aims to continue a two-year streak of improved records and conference standings. Spidahl took over the program prior to the 2012 campaign and led the Lutes to their first winning season (6-5-7) since 2006, and the 2013 squad tied the 2005 and 2006 teams for the program’s most wins since 1995 with an 11-4-5 mark. PLU begins the season Aug. 29 with a nonconference road match against California Lutheran in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

your contract they guarantee that your education will be paid for. I enjoy reading and learning more now than when I started college. KW: Were you expecting Florida to take you on draft day? LK: I didn’t even know I was eligible. I thought I had to play one more year to go but there’s a rule that if you turn 21 within 60 days of the draft you’re eligible. I got called out of class to meet with the team representatives along with all the juniors and seniors. It was a whirlwind but it was definitely all great. KW: Where were you on draft day? LK: We were out on the field practicing and the draft was on the jumbotron. I went in the second round and was the third A & M student to go in 2003. KW: Did you call your parents or did they call you? LK: I called them after I was drafted but they already knew. KW: After a couple of years of pro ball you have only been a reliever. Why did you change from being a starter? LK: I was a starter in college and then my first and second years in the minors I just started. When I got my first Major League call up in 2004 I pitched a couple games in relief and I’ve pretty much been a reliever ever since. KW: Do you prefer being a reliever now? LK: I can’t say I don’t miss starting because I enjoyed those four days of preparation to study your opponent but the best part about being a reliever is that you have an opportunity to compete every day. As a starter I’d get so amped up just waiting to get out there, while being a reliever puts you in the middle between high and low and that’s where you’re generally at your best. And even when they tell you that you won’t be pitching that day you have to be ready just in case. KW: Who was the first Major League

batter you pitched to? LK: It might have been Juan Pierre, whoever was lead-off for the Cubs, but I can tell you who my first two home runs were given up to — Moises Alou and Eramus Ramirez for the Cubs. They went a really long way. KW: Then you had some injuries – Tommy John (2006), elbow surgery (2007), shoulder surgery (2010). Is everything okay now? LK: Yeah, everything is still intact. KW: What kind of a pitcher do you think you are? LK: That’s a tough question. I would like to be a pitcher that feels he’s in control all the time, but I know I’m not. Sometimes I get a little too wound up and feel I’m looking through a fog. KW: As a reliever do you have one main outpitch or is it more situational? LK: Most relievers have one pitch they go to when they’re in a jam. I’d say mine is my slider. The movement and speed usually add some extra things that the batters have to adjust to. KW: You played in the PCL twice before — with Albuquerque and Colorado Springs. Did you play here with either of those teams? LK: I did. The first time was in 2006 or 2007, before they had the real nice new park. When I came back in 2013 I remember thinking, “Man, this place is a dump. I’m not looking forward to it.� And they had just renovated it and it was really pretty. It’s a real ideal setting for baseball. KW: But the field is the same now. Is this a good field to pitch on? LK: I think so. It plays pretty fair. I know there are definitely more hitterfriendly parks in the PCL. I think we’re fortunate to be here. KW: What’s been the highlight of your career so far? LK: The All Star Game we just played was definitely one. It was my

first chance to be an All Star. Anytime you know you have the respect of your peers it’s such a great feeling. And my major league call up and my career have just been such a blessing. I met my wife because of baseball. And I still stay in contact with a lot of the guys I’ve played with. KW: You were one of four Rainiers named to the All Star Game but you didn’t play. What was the reason? LK: I have pitched a lot of innings this year so far. The last couple of years I had been a set-up guy, one or two innings a game. This year because of the dynamic of our bullpen we’ve all had to handle different roles and I’ve thrown quite a few innings. So I told our manager if I could get the three days off that would be awesome and they talked to people at the All Star Game to see if I could get pushed to the back of the line. We were lucky enough to have the bullpen set up for 10 innings and we only pitched eight and I was supposed to pitch the 10th so I just got lucky. KW: Have you got plans for the future yet? LK: No. In this game you really can’t plan too much, just take what they give you. KW: Have you thought about coaching at all? LK: I have, but I have to see how my wife feels. I love the game, there’s something to be said for teaching it the right way. It’s definitely not out of the realm. KW: Anything else you’d like your fans to know about you? LK: I’m a light-hearted guy, I love smiling, I like being outdoors and baseball’s great for that. I’m sure that if I had to wear a tie and a suit I wouldn’t enjoy it as much. I’ve been blessed to play this game and I look forward to every day.

“The coaches put together a good game plan and we capitalized,� said Williams. “We have a lot of good athletes, but we just had to bring it all together for once. All the preparation during the week paid off. It was a big win for us and hopefully it gives us that momentum going forward.� Thurston County would get a couple more points at the beginning of the fourth quarter when Anthony Borja blocked Waite’s punt in the endzone for a safety. The gap had closed to 28-10 with 14:39 remaining in the contest. The Outlaws defense would force a fumble on the next Mayhem possession and the offense would answer with an 11-play, 54-yard drive capped by a five-yard quarterback sneak by Williams for a touchdown and the final score of the game with 8:45 left. “The offense finally got on its horse and road out for us,� said Warren. “We got our running game back. The last time we faced the Kings, we were without our top running back. Cory Croom is back now and today was a bit of a warm-up game for him, so we’re looking for him to do good things for us next week. “We still have a lot of rough edges and have a lot of stuff to clean up in order to go and play those Kings next week. We were really hoping we would meet them in the championship game, but it is what it is. We’re going to coach them up the best way that we can.� For co-owner William Young, the hard work and the pain of four years without a post-season win and early exits was beginning to fade. “These guys have worked so hard,� said Young. “We put our families on the line, our wives on the line going through film sessions and practices three or four times a week. They’re all like my kids to me. We put so much into it. Four years of being sent home. “My guys know what we’re up against next week and our guys are going to give 110 percent.� The Puyallup/Puget Sound kickoff is at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9 at Chief Leschi Stadium. In the other semifinal, the Pierce County Bengals, 34-14 winners over the Snohomish County Vikings in the first round, will travel to Renton Stadium for a 5 p.m. kickoff against the second-place Renton Ravens. On June 28, the Ravens defeated the Bengals 14-13 in a hotly contested and controversial outcome.

Northwest Lumpia’s lime green location, sticking out like a green thumb on Center Street. “We’re very different from what you would normally find. We’re almost like a niche just focused on lumpia, but at the same time trying to create a lot of different flavors,� owner Charles Marbas said. Northwest Lumpia has 10 flavors always on the menu, while 20 more creative creations rotate in and out as daily specials. These flavors vary widely, from taco lumpia to chicken teriyaki lumpia. As football season approaches, Marbas plans to roll out honey barbeque chicken wing lumpia – traditional boneless chicken wings stuffed inside lumpia, perfect for a game day snack. While Marbas is a staunch Seattle Seahawk supporter, he’s also a strong supporter of the Tacoma community. His parents have owned previous restaraunts at the location, Angel’s Cafe and Manila Center Diner, making the diner a long-standing part of Tacoma culture. This rich history is motivating

O

ne of the most unique events held each summer in Tacoma, the Stadium District Art and Wine Walk has something for everyone. Attracting an average of 450-500 people, the Walk is known for its relaxed, non-crowded atmosphere and for its location in the beautiful Stadium District. This Art and Wine Walk, on Saturday, Aug. 9, isn’t about vendors on the street selling their wares, but about the businesses established in the District for people to walk into and explore during this special event. “Every year when people walk through our District we hear over and over again, ‘I never knew that business existed,’� said Sharon Benson, on the board of the Stadium District Historical Business Association (Art and Wine Walk sponsor) and chair of the Walk committee. The Stadium District Art and Wine Walk is the perfect way to spend a warm summer evening strolling through the Stadium District admiring the historic architecture and enjoying local artists and musicians while savoring wines of the world, food and hors d’oeuvres samplings offered by more than 30 diverse participating businesses will be open to browse and buy. Local artists will be displaying and selling their original works in a wide variety of media courtesy of Columbia Bank, which underwrites the arts portion of the Walk so that the artists can keep the money they make. New this year will be hayrides to transport

CannaCon

Northwest By Ernest A. Jasmin

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

L

ong before Initiative 502 legalized recreational use of marijuana in Washington, herbfriendly revelers were flocking to Seattle for Hempfest. The event – which started in 1991 as the relatively modest Hemp Expo – is expected to draw more than 250,000 ganjaphiles to Seattle’s Myrtle Edwards Park from Aug. 15 to 17. There they’ll groove to music playing on multiple stages, buy hemp-related clothing and paraphernalia and, of course, sample a bit of Diesel Haze and Grandaddy Purp. (Ask a stoner friend.) But a new marijuana-centric event launching at the same time in Tacoma is aimed at a somewhat different demographic, one that’s more interested in learning the ins and outs of Washington’s fledgling marijuana industry than just getting stoned in the park. Scheduled for Aug. 14 through 17 at the Tacoma Dome, the inaugural CannaCon Northwest conference will feature dozens of seminars on cannabis growing techniques, I-502 analysist law, marketing and other knowledge necessary to become a successful “ganjapreneur.” “You’ve gotta think of it more like a big home and garden show, but it’s about cannabis,” CannaCon president and founder Bob Smart said. “The only shows the public’s allowed to go to are the festivals (where) they’re still seeing ‘Cheech & Chong.’ But there’s no smoking at CannaCon, no cannabis on site – zero. There’s

no activism, there’s no live music.” The first half of the four-day event will be geared specifically towards I-502 applicants, Smart said, but the entire conference is free to anyone who shows up with a business license of any type. Based on feedback he said he has gotten in the lead-up to the event, he expects 8,000 to 10,000 aspiring marijuana entrepreneurs to show up. Business-oriented seminars scheduled for opening day don’t necessarily conjure stoner imagery with titles like “Branding Your Retail Outlet” (11 a.m.), “How to Raise and Manage Capital” (2 p.m.) and “Filing Your Taxes” (3:30 p.m.) The second half of the conference will be open to the general public with sessions ranging from “Growing for Beginners” (3:30 p.m. Aug. 16) to “Baking with Cannabis” (2 p.m. Aug. 17.) Tickets are $30 for Aug. 16, $25 for Aug. 17 and $50 for a weekend pass. Presenter Jim Chaney has become known locally for producing pot-infused coffee drinks for medical marijuana patients. He will give a 30-minute lecture as part of the “Processing Facility” seminar at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 14. “I will be briefly hitting some key points that run the gamut from harvesting cannabis to packaging finished products for retail,” he explained. “I will devote a good deal of time to discussing recent Washington State Liquor Control Board changes to edible processing rules that prohibit a wide variety of products and possibly have affected many attendees long-term business plans. “For instance with my own business

plan, I make a bottled coffee beverage very similar to a frappuccino called ‘Caffe Sativa.’ After the LCB banned the use of acid as a preservative, I find myself tasked with making a bottled beverage without a very common tool used in almost every commercial scale beverage bottling line: safe and reasonable acidity control. I’m interested in getting 502 processors together to speak in a unified voice for reasonable regulation that ensures public safety and free market capitalism.” Regulation of edibles has been a hot topic in the national media, especially since New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote about having a paranoid breakdown after she ate a 16-dose, THC-laced candy bar during a pot tour in Colorado, the other state that legalized recreational use in 2012. “As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me,” she wrote in her controversial June 3 column, which went viral sparking debate on the safety of pot edibles. “Regarding edibles the key word is ‘tolerance,’” Chaney said. “I have been using cannabis edibles for years as a patient. So, for me, I can say that the cannabis dose that rocked Maureen Dowd’s world would barely register on my central nervous system. “My medical beverages batch test at 200 mgs per 12-ounce bottle, twice the legal limit of 502 edibles; and, for me, it’s a perfect dose that does not leave me intoxicated or unable to function.” In Washington, pot edibles may contain no more than 10 servings, with a serving

consisting of 10 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis. Dosage must be labeled, and products cannot be especially appealing to children. “There’s a lot of growing pains to work out,” Smart said of the fledgling industry, which has also been criticized for inflated prices – relative to the cost of black market product – and a lack of legal supply. “There are retail stores open throughout the state that don’t have any product,” Smart said. “A lot of growers that got into this, they grow in their garage – a couple hundred square feet. Now, all of a sudden, they get a 21,000-square-foot license without even thinking ahead of time that that’s a million dollars in lighting. “Once all these growers get up and running and the growers actually have some cannabis for sale, then it’ll get a little better in supply and demand.”

Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and One Reel present

‘To Gather’

Free celebration of cultures at White River Amphitheatre The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and One Reel are pleased to announce ToGather – a free, family-oriented celebration of cultures at the White River Amphitheatre on Sunday, Aug. 10 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Designed to facilitate the exchange of culture between the area’s Native American, Latino, Pacific Islander, Asian and African-American populations, the event was born out of the Taste At Muckleshoot and is the first public event in the Tribe’s strategic re-envisioning and transformation of the Amphitheatre into a vibrant community asset. Attractions include a music stage, dance/performance stage, roving performers, a selection of ethnic food vendors, cross-cultural basket weaving demonstrations, participatory basketball shoot-arounds and soccer kick-arounds and a kids’ zone. Musical performers represent a broad spectrum of ethnic traditions and influences. Picoso is a seven-piece band grounded in the Afro-Latino sounds of the Caribbean whose music spans a dynamic spectrum from traditional Cuban son and cha cha to dubbedout cubia and reggaeton to salsa. Two Story Zori is a reggae band whose members hail from Guam, Hawaii, the Philippines, Vietnam and Oklahoma City. The group fuses the sounds of the Pacific Islands through ukulele, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. African band Soyaya (Hausa for “love and affection�) is led by Ghanaian-born Mohammed Shaibu. A combination of Palmwine/Highlife and indigenous rhythm and

blues, it features virtuoso acoustic guitar, dynamic talking drums and endearing vocals. Banda Vagos’

traditional Mexican music has earned them a strong following amongst the Hispanic population of

Washington. A separate arts stage will feature performances from Tongan, Pacific

Island, African-American, Chinese and Muckleshoot Canoe Family dancers. Local DJs Darek Maz-

zone and DJ Chilly, who have brought a wide variety of world music, including Latin and African, to Seattle audiences through their specialty shows on KEXP, will provide additional musical entertainment throughout the day. Somail, Tongan and Muckleshoot basket weaving displays and demonstrations will happen throughout the day. Children will be able to make their own cedar roses with assistance from Muckleshoot expert weavers. Players and coaches from the Rainier Valley Slammers football club, Seattle Sounders women’s team and Seattle University’s basketball program will be featured in the Sports Zone. ToGather is the first public-facing step in the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe’s partnership with One Reel to re-envision the future of the White River Amphitheatre. The overarching vision seeks to expand the usage of the property beyond the existing concert business; give the facility its own voice and brand that speaks positively to audiences and the community; create a new arts education organization based at the Amphitheatre to serve the region; and create the opportunity for Tribal members to take over these new activities.

Abstract Expressionism at B2 Fine Art Gallery

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Muesum of the Week: Washington State History Museum

By Dave R. Davison

1911 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, WA 98402 Wed.- Sun., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Info: www.washingtonhistory.org/

dave@tacomaweekly.com

The recently opened exhibit at B2 Fine Art Gallery, “Evolution of Line and Form,” is a sumptuous collection of works by local artists who are working in the tradition of the New York school of abstract expressionism that exploded into the art world in the post war era. Abstract expressionism and its offshoots dominated the academy as well as the gallery space into the 1980s, when figurative elements began to reassert themselves in art. Nevertheless, the legacy of the New York school remains a vital part of the contemporary artistic landscape. The B2 show includes work by William Mitchell, Judy Hintz Cox, Nancy McLaughlin, David Noah Giles, Catherine Swanson and James Guy Jr. The subtitle of the show is “Exploring Jackson Pollock’s Inspiration in a Group Show.” This is slightly perplexing since there is very little of the kind of controlled flinging of paint that Pollock was known for. Ironically, the closest things to Pollock’s “all-over” painting style are Mitchell’s photographs of wild entanglements of branches and twigs that were taken at various locations around Puget Sound. The photos capture a remarkable variety of color and texture depending on the type of trees and bushes that form the dense swirls of impenetrable, woody scribbling. Cox seems to hearken more to Mark Rothko than Pollock. Indeed, her oil and encaustic “Groundlessness” is divided into two rectangles just as Rothko did with his iconic color field paintings. Many of Cox’s other paintings consist of a richly

mixed color covering the canvas. Gestural sub elements create a meditative, yet dynamic effect. McLaughlin is the opposite of Cox: more dynamic and less meditative. Tree forms or clusters of crystals are presented with layers of gestural brush strokes and subtle colors. Everything sweeps upward in surge of painterly energy. Giles and Catherine once owned the Art on Center Gallery in Tacoma, in the happy time before the Great Recession when Tacoma was experiencing an artistic flowering that has since withered away. The pair has relocated to Seattle. Their artistic output is flowing and growing, steady and strong. Giles coats his canvases in crazy quilt arrangements of squares, circles and spirals. An organic blotting out and softening of the hard forms counterbalance his propensity toward the geometric. Thick, white paint is often used to open space for new elements such as dripping lines, graffiti-like squiggles or random, gestural configurations. Black line bounding translucent colors sets Giles apart from other painters who seem to

gravitate towards muted or earthy tones. Swanson’s paintings are bold and bright, yet there is enough white mixed with the pigment that they don’t knock one over the head with a psychedelic effect. She creates patterns that are deliberately broken up with interesting results. Most of Guy’s hardedged geometry in red, black and white hearken to the minimalism of painters like Frank Stella, and owe nothing to Pollock. They are a stark contrast to the work of the other artists in which the human hand is clearly in evidence. There are a couple of Guy’s paintings, however, in which a county fair spin-art circle of flung paint is set over the mechanical, geometric pattern. The result is a brilliant synthesis of minimalism and drip painting. “Evolution of Line and Form; Exploring Jackson Pollock’s Inspiration in a Group Show” runs through Sept. 27. B2 Fine Art Galley has become one of Tacoma’s best venues for quality work by artists from the local to the international. For further information visit www. b2finearts.com.

History Speaks Washington Curiosities Aug. 13, noon

Humanities Washington speaker Harriet Baskas will talk about the curious things you can find around Washington and in museums. You can pick up a copy of “Washington Curiosities” in the Museum Store. Space restrictions allow most museums to display only about 10 percent of their holdings. However, there are also surprising political, philosophical, artistic, environmental and historic reasons why museums keep objects from view. Journalist Harriet Baskas will present a fastpaced, photo-filled and, at times, somewhat offbeat tour of Washington history through the stories of museum artifacts that are rarely – or never – shown to the public. Examples include Bing Crosby’s toupees in Spokane, a quilt made of Ku Klux Klan robes in Yakima and Native American spirit boards in Tacoma. We will explore how those objects came to be in the local collections and who makes decisions about what is displayed or kept from view.

Artists play key role in Music and Art in Wright Park By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The day-long Music and Art in Wright Park festival, set for Aug. 16, will not only offer more than a dozen bands but also two featured artists doing their thing while the jams flow.

ments. She lets viewers do the interpretation. “I am rarely prone to making a statement with my work, preferring the viewer to make their own if one is to be made,� Foster said. “The work comes freely inspired by nature, form, movement, color and so much more. That freedom of art coming from my soul honestly is what most seems to express when speaking with me about my work. Each viewer is a different entity with different tastes, experiences and perspective. I love hearing each one when they are brave enough to share.� Foster plans to set up, jam and let the creative process work its course at the festival, where visitors can watch the creation in real time. “The fun things going on at the festival could very well effect the way I work,� Foster said. “I tend toward complete immersion for hours and even days, working myself into what I lovingly call ‘art brain.’� Gilbert Lord is an artist of many forms: photography, video, editing, drawing and design. “I would describe my art as ‘neurealism,’� said Lord. “I know that this is a term not yet coined, but I think it best describes what I do. To me ‘neurealism’ is a term meaning of what the brain sees.� Lord avoids staying with one style of work or medium. He just creates from whatever is needed to create. “I borrow from many ideas and use multiple mediums to work in,� Lord said. “Others interpret my work much differently than I would; some come close to what I was thinking when I created the work. That is generally how I work and how people interpret what I do. I intend the viewer to have a reaction, and that is it.� The thought of creating art in front of a crowd is not new to Lord, so he welcomes the interaction and shared energy. “I work in public a lot and like feeling the energies around me while I work,� he said. “Variations of music and mood I think bring a lot to my work. I am excited because between music, interactions with the environment and the music being played simultaneously will inspire what I work on the day of MAWP. Seeing many old and new faces and the temperament of emotion around me will cause me to create something that is suited to what is going on at the event.�

CAVEMEN. Tacoma’s Oh Dear stars in a new Cave Sessions video from MountainHouse Recordings, which can be found online at www.youtube. com/mountainhousetv. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

For nearly 40 years, renowned British disc jockey John Peel showcased some of the most exciting and forwardthinking acts in rock with his Peel Sessions on BBC Radio 1; and now Tacoma’s MountainHouse Recordings wants to bring a similar concept to the regional rock scene with its new Internet series, the Cave Sessions. MountainHouse studio manager Jesse Goodrum summed up the sentiment behind the project, which entered its second phase on Tuesday with the release of a slick, 21-minute performance clip featuring local indie-pop band Oh Dear. See it on MountainHouse’s YouTube channel, www. youtube.com/mountainhousetv. “I’ve been in bands for a really long time, since I was in high school,� said Goodrum, currently the bassist for Tacoma group Coma Figura. “I’ve been in a couple of bands that would have made it somewhere if we had more

press and more people that believed in us and went out to our shows. “So we decided to start filming these live sessions with bands that come through the studio or that have just been around the Northwest that we kind of want to (expose),� he said. “There’s not a lot of that going on with the video side around here. It kind of gives Northwest bands the opportunity to get something out there that’s of no cost to them, really.� Mountain House – also Tristan McNabb and head engineer Andrew Nalty – operates out of Sound West Recordings at 2321 Tacoma Ave. S. That’s where popular, local postpunk band Florida (formerly Not From Brooklyn) starred in the first Cave Session video in April. Two solo clips, featuring Coma Figura frontman Kyle Gootkin, followed. “So we kind of started building upon that idea and creating what we have now,� Goodrum said. “We have an audience, we have three bands ready to go and we have a better production team.�

That team now includes director Hunter Boen, of local production company Last Minute V/P, and videographer Sydnie Couch of Deer Creek Media, he said. “We’re trying to work a timeline out where we post them once a month. That’s what our goal is right now, and we have three ready, basically. We have August, September and October’s ready to go. It’ll be the first Tuesday of each month is what we’re trying to do.� Oh Dear recorded its session on June 21, and the band’s five-song performance is slickly edited with crisp, DVD-quality sound. “I’ve known these guys for a long time,� Goodrum said, “and they’ve worked really hard and toured and made a couple of albums and EPs. I just really dug their style and so did everybody else at Mountain House. They also came and did drums with us, and we got more acquainted with them there. We thought of them as a good fit for our good Cave Session, our second big one.� Cave Sessions have also been recorded with Fantastic Animals and new Tacoma band, Wow Laura. Goodrum said any bands interested in getting involved should send their electronic press kit to mountainhousetacoma@ gmail. “We don’t take submissions right now just ‘cause there’s so many,� he said. “But it never hurts to send out an EPK and reach out to us. We want to bring up these Northwest artists, and if we haven’t heard any that are really good we need to know.�

She writes blogs on gardening, ponds, natural health and herbal remedies and teaches classes through Free University (www.FreeUNW.com).

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) This week’s Full Moon will put you in the social spotlight. Be cautious with how you react, as your actions could reflect negatively on your home and work situations. Step up to the plate and serve those that have been serving you. It’s time for needed change.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) This week’s Full Moon is full of crazy fun and good times with friends and family. Do something extremely exciting that you have always wanted to experience. Take pictures and share your special adventure on social media sites. Someone may discover you.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Some big, bold ideas are coming your way during this week’s Full Moon. Take note of these creative notions, as they will help you move forward in the months to come. Treat your partner to a romantic dinner or vacation getaway. They need your support.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Be open minded to others’ views, needs and desires. As we help others, we ultimately help ourselves. The Full Moon on the 10th finds you full of energy to do the things you most want to. Utilize this wave to accomplish what you have been putting off. Romance is in the air.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) If you maintain a balanced view of things you could really make someone’s day. The Full Moon’s influence may cause a clash between your agenda and that of your partner or boss. Give in only enough to keep the peace. Creative dreams reveal a secret.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) A huge request will be asked of you. Think first before you react as you may regret your actions later. This week’s Full Moon is opening up the energy of truth that will greatly affect you, your loved ones and co-workers. You may receive or give a much-needed apology.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) You have been blessed with a wave of teamwork both at home and at the office. This doesn’t come around often, so take advantage of this positive energy influenced from this week’s Full Moon. Bask in the pleasure of calm, cool cooperation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Make sure any new income has no strings attached. This week’s Full Moon is very lucrative bringing new avenues of financial gain. You have been extremely productive and your hard work is paying off. Suggest positive and realistic solutions to long-term problems. Treat yourself.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Your bright and flashy personality is catching someone’s eye. This person is cool and smooth and may reveal himself or herself during this week’s Full Moon. Shine your light like a beacon so they can find you. Be kind and considerate and show your sweet, playful side.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) This week’s Full Moon is in your sign bringing innovative and ground-breaking bursts of creative thoughts and ideas. Utilize this energy to accomplish your deepest desires. People may look to you to stand up for ideals and the needs of the community. Pick your battles wisely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Surround yourself with like-minded people. This helps you to keep your focus and stay grounded. Wasting your personal energy does you no good. Only act on deals and negotiations that are viable and realistic. Meditate or pray for spiritual guidance.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) You may need to take a break by surrounding yourself with peace and quiet. This week’s Full Moon may not let that happen. Others want your attention and may not understand your independence. Make some time to fulfill their needs while leaving plenty for yourself.
