WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY

LAUNCHES PROP 1 RENOVATIONS CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY

By Kathleen Merryman

T

acoma School District is speeding to make good on Proposition 1’s promises – and alarming some people who did not expect to see action so soon. In February, Tacomans approved the bond measure, which will raise $500 million over 25 years, to rebuild or renovate 14 neighborhood schools and make health and safety improvements to all schools that need them. In July, Tacoma Public Schools brought the dozers to Washington Elementary School at 3701 N. 26th St. in the Proctor District. They took down the 1949 additions to the original 1906 building designed by Frederick Heath, and they cleared the trees. All that heavy equipment around the historic building came as a surprise to people who had not been following the neighborhood discussions on the school renovation. Some feared the school was being demolished, following the old Gray Middle School into rubble and recycling. Some did not connect a bond passed in February with renovations begun in July. We don’t normally get that kind of speed in government projects. “This is our opportunity to show them promises kept,” said Stephen Murakami, Tacoma Public Schools’ director of planning and construction. It’s also a chance to display the transparency promised during the Proposition 1 campaign. Because schools are so vital to the neighborhoods they serve, the district has hired Stacy Flores as facilities communication coordinator for the next eight years of renovations, remodels, demolition and construction. She will be maintaining a website at www.

You can also call her at (253) 571-3350 with any question, comment or concerns. Flores noted that one of the selling points for Prop 1 was the opportunity to roll remaining funds from a previous bond into the 2013 package at a more favorable interest rate. That money paid for planning on the Washington renovation, so studies, plans and permits were well along by the end of the school year. That head start means that work on Washington will likely be done by the start of the 2014 school year. “I think it’s going to be a celebration of the historic structure,” Murakami said. “We will have three new additions wrapping around it in a very delicate manner. The way they connect is with glass hyphens. You will be able to see the old structure. You are using the same language, scale and materials.” That’s a response to a school of thought emerging regarding historic buildings. Other school districts have faced criticism for jamming modern additions onto celebrated historic buildings, Murakami said. “Some historians think that additions should be able to be taken off some time in the future, so anything we do should not take away from the existing fabric,” he said. That applies mainly to the exterior. The interior spaces will be designed to fit modern classroom needs as part of the $28 million project. The district will bring the same sensibility to the renovation of Stewart Middle School in 2016. It will likely step aside from that issue when the issue of Hoyt Elementary arises.

Thanks to the vision and determination of one young honors student at University of Washington-Tacoma, the college now has its very first official sports club – the Tacoma Huskies basketball team. Founded by team captain Joshua Seals during the 2012 spring quarter, the UWT Basketball Association and its team of Tacoma Huskies have already made an impact on the court and on their alma mater. The early days of the association were filled with tryouts, practices and informal games at People’s Center and the Longshoremen’s Hall. In need of professional uniforms, Seals designed and led fundraising for jerseys in the Husky colors. Working with UWT Director of Student Involvement Ed Mirecki and Student Advisor Zachary Bruce, Seals went through all the proper channels to get the Basketball Association formally registered with the university. He structured practices, secured a practice facility, taught team unity and the importance of representing the college respectfully. X See UWT / page A9

FUTURE UNCERTAIN

Pierce Transit opts to delay cuts By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

What a difference a month makes when it comes to keeping buses rolling around Pierce County neighborhoods. Pierce Transit’s Board of Commissioners held a special meeting last week to rescind a slate of cuts it had approved in June. The cuts were set to start in September, but a unanimous vote changed that after the commissioners credited the improving economy for providing enough sales tax revenue to delay those cuts. The transit board also opted to hold a special meeting to make the decision

We hear a great deal of public concern about the effectiveness of government. Federal and state legislators are sometimes criticized for being unable or unwilling to deliver on their obligations. The United States Congress has gotten tremendous criticism for doing little or nothing. Sadly, in a recent Gallup Poll regarding trust in American institutions, the Congress scored dead last. By contrast, the top three categories in the Gallup Poll – the institutions in which people had the most confidence – were (1) the military, (2) small business and (3) local law enforcement. Why the gap between these three institutions and the Congress? I think it is because people have confidence in organizations that get things done. The military, small business and law enforcement are perceived – rightly so – as organizations that get things done. Of course, anyone in the military or small business or law enforcement can tell you that their unit or their business or their department does not get things done perfectly. None of us do. Nor do they get as much done as they would like. But in the military, small business

have attended Washington-Hoyt Elementary School. Hoyt was built in the 1960s, and was one of the first modular plywood schools ever built. A model of it toured the world, including the former Soviet Union, so it has its own brand of architectural significance, Murakami noted. As part of Washington-Hoyt, the once-modern building served kindergarteners and some first graders. Those youngest students walked the three blocks between the schools for the bus and for lunch in any weather. The arrangement had its charms. Many parents liked easing their five-yearolds into the big world of school that way. The renovated WashingtonHoyt will bring all students onto one campus, adding a separate kindergarten building to the site.

and law enforcement, making things happen and continually moving forward – even in the face of setbacks – is a necessary part of their make-up. Let’s consider law enforcement. In law enforcement, we rise to all sorts of challenges to deal with crime and disorder and other threats to life and to property. Law enforcement agencies are not perfect but, overall, our people get things done. That is our culture. That is the way we function as individuals. In the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, we have the same orientation. Think back for a moment. Remember the terrible “methademic” that gripped Pierce County? We responded and got things done. Dealing with and preventing gang violence is another example. There is much less gang violence in Pierce County than in King County because we stepped forward and got things done. Add to that multiple successful search and rescue operations; solving major crimes such as the Craigslist murder; responding to the murder of a Ranger on Mount Rainer; responding to the murder of the Powell children; and keeping a safe, secure jail despite an influx of more felons and difficult, mentally ill prisoners. The list goes on. These are examples of a culture focused on getting things done. Does that mean we do things perfectly? No. Does it mean that we are able to do everything that needs doing? No. But, we

The Tacoma School Board will decide Hoyt’s future. The location of that kindergarten building determined the trees’ future. The healthy ones were too close to it. Others around the perimeter were, at best, in fair condition. All the trees have come down, to the dismay of some neighbors. They’ve been part of the Proctor landscape for decades, and when an old neighborhood loses its established trees, people who love them feel the loss. It’s an emotional situation, and it should be. The right tree in the right place is a great asset to any city. Tacomans recognize that and support, publicly and in their own yards, efforts to increase the city’s canopy cover to 30 percent. By contrast, the wrong tree in the wrong place, and a sick, weak tree anywhere, is a liability. Any parent would hope that a school district would minimize

accomplish a great deal and we do it with very few people. And as you see on the evening news, we do all of this in a very urbanized, very active county. Pierce County is not a sleepy little rural jurisdiction. If you pay attention to county government, you know that I regularly ask for more resources for the Sheriff’s Department – resources for patrol and investigations and for our jail. Why? Because I want to get more things done. Because my people want to get more done and make things safer and more secure for you and your family. Please know that we strive to do all we can with what we have. But we want the ability to push things farther and do even more. So, what should you do when you encounter a government agency that actually gets things done? What should you do if the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department earns your trust and confidence? I believe that the answer is obvious: find ways to support that agency so it can get even more done. Provide adequate resources, hold us accountable and provide moral support. We don’t get the kind of government services we deserve. We get the kind of government services that we support. We get the kind of agencies we stand up for. We can either choose to reinforce government inaction or we can support and invest in agencies that get things done. I know what I prefer. How about you?

the chances of a branch weighted down with wet snow crashing onto a playground, or the bus stop. The district did just that. Tacoma Schools hired Favero Greenforest, a Seattle consulting arborist and certified tree risk assessor, to report on Washington’s trees in June 2012. There were 37 – gingkos, Bradford pears, maples, pines, Douglas firs and a single elm – on the two-acre site. They’d survived bad pruning, downed branches, repeated toppings, root and soil compaction and summer drought. The ginkos were a sad lot, Greenforest said, in poor and very poor condition. The Bradford pears made up most of the 12 trees rated “fair.” Only 12, mostly evergreens, got a “good” rating, and they stood by the kindergarten site. There was no room to rearrange the additions, said Murakami. “This is the smallest site in the

district,” he said. “At two acres, it’s a tiny site.” When students return to Washington-Hoyt in September 2014, they will find new landscaping, including a teaching garden. In the meantime, they, like the other students displaced during the bond projects, will attend Hunt Middle School. The district is fighting the notion of a “displaced year,” Flores and Murakami said. It is adding new furnishings and technology to Hunt Middle School, which will be called Transition Academy. It will house the curriculum instruction department, and introduce new ideas in teaching. It will, he said, prepare students for the opportunities and resources they will find when they walk into Washington in 2014.

The Plymouth Belvedere line was advertised as “Plymouth’s premiere line of great automobiles� when it rolled off the assembly line in 1951. It gained popularity quickly. By the time the 1958 Belvedere entered showrooms, it came in five different body styles. There were twodoor hardtops, two-door posts, fourdoor hardtops, four-door post and a convertible. Each offered quad-headlights and the signature rear fins of the day. All that style cost $2,700. It was a classic car when it was new and is prized by collectors to this day. Part of that appeal got a boost when an identical sibling of the Belvedere, a Plymouth Fury, found itself on the silver screen as the car-gone-wrong chassis of the 1983 movie “Christine,� by director John Carpenter. The Stephen King novel that became the basis of the movie described the evil-minded car as a four-door 1958 Fury, but the Fury didn’t offer a four-door model until 1959. Two-dozen Fury and Belvedere

The promotional cars would be placed in the lobby of a theater where the movie was playing, and someone out of sight would speak to movie-goers through the hidden speakers behind the car’s grille, as if the car were alive. The car offers a 225-horsepower engine and an automatic transmission.

Navy veteran receives the interment he earned, thanks to PCMARVETS By Kathleen Merryman

George Pitcher served 26 years in the United States Navy, a commitment that included World War II and the Korean War. With a career of that length, one would expect the military to have enough documentation to get Pitcher buried at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent. One would be mistaken. Erica Westling, the veteran service officer who staffs the Ford Fleetwood mobile home that is PCMARVETS’ field office, has become an expert in digging for missing files. When veterans come to the non-profit’s field office hoping to connect with the benefits they earned, she warns them that they’ll likely be told that their records were destroyed in a fire. Or a flood. Or are not on file. If that’s the response, she starts the search, just as she did when Jim Pitcher asked for help in getting his father’s ashes interred with the honors due him. Jim Pitcher walked up to the mobile field office while it was parked at the Eatonville food bank. Like his father, he was a Navy man, serving from 1974 to 1978. “He came to see us about putting in a claim,� said Kelley Byers, PCMARVETS board chairman. “When we finished that, he asked if we could give his dad a ride to Mount Tahoma.� Byers took it literally before Jim Pitcher explained that his father had died in

1992. The family had his ashes in a wooden box, and wanted to follow through on his wishes to be buried with military honors at Mount Tahoma. But they did not have the specific piece of paperwork required to make that happen. Neither did the military. “Ninety percent of the paperwork was done,� Byers said. “The one piece that was needed was not on file.� So Jim Pitcher had kept his father’s ashes for 20 years, hoping to find a way to get them to the destination they deserved. In Eatonville, he put them into the care of George Hight, PCMARVETS board vice chairman. Hight and Byers committed to giving them the respect due them. “A proper funeral and recognition from his brothers and sisters in service is something that every veteran is entitled to,� Hight said. “When their life ends, that respect and appreciation is something that is due them. It is due to your brothers and sisters. We all signed a check, payable with your life, if necessary.� Redeeming that check for Pitcher was more dif-

Twenty years to the day after he died, George Pitcher was honored with taps, a rifle salute, a brief service, and a flag presented to his son Jim. PCMARVETs had given him the ride to Mount Tahoma National Cemetery, the ride we all owed him.

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 road riddled with holiness, 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.

Gene Seymour likes the Sweet 100 sandwiches best, just ahead of the example Earthwise Tacoma’s workplace garden sets. The business is all about reusing and repurposing solid stuff that did its job once, and may be up for another incarnation. If you need an old-growth beam, a good old-fashioned one-flush toilet, a roll of barbed wire or a vanity, you can find it at Earthwise, which started in Seattle some 20 years ago. It opened a Tacoma branch a year ago at 628 E. 60th St., between one lumber mill and the site of the old Hillsdale Lumber. Green as Earthwise is, greenery is not its specialty, aside from the delicious blackberries along an exterior wall on pocked and rutted 60th Street. Manager Karen Carston let them grow because they stood between gang taggers and a wall they coveted. The city may not maintain the street, but it has told Earthwise to cut the bushes, which community members are using as a fruit garden. The tomatoes by the office

That’s the thing about workplace gardens, especially those that produce lunch or dinner. It’s gratifying to step outside on a break and watch them pop up from nothing but good dirt. The fun those plants seem to be having in the parking lot is almost naughty. “Hi, I have been looking at your challenge in the paper for weeks! I am finally sending you something that we are very excited about,� Carston wrote in an e-mail to Tacoma Weekly. “The tomatoes are growing like crazy in our double sink. I used TAGRO, and it’s funny, the fruit doesn’t taste like sewage! They are delicious, just getting ripe...� Earthwise is all about the possibilities left in used items,

and the tomatoes, aside from bursting with vitaminey goodness, are marketing tools, “We start doing something with stuff, and it starts selling,� Seymour said. “Stuff that would otherwise end up in a landfill can be beautiful. We have old railings, and customers make a trellis out of it.� The half-barrel was a natural. The sink, a quick recovery. “The sink was chipped and unsalable,� Carston said. In May, she popped in the TAGRO, a few small starts and got a Godzilla response. (Yes, you can buy one of Godzilla’s relatives at Earthwise. You can also purchase “Downton Abbey� paper dolls.) The bounty is so surprising that Carston is eying other stuff that might make a good garden. There’s an upside-down bike rack a pole bean could snuggle up. There’s a toilet tank that already is growing ivy, and a barbecue bottom that would be an excellent lettuce patch. That’s all for next year. Now it’s sandwich time. Here’s how they do a tomato sandwich a la Carston at Earthwise: “You use Dave’s Killer Bread, The Good Seed, and real mayonnaise. Not sandwich spread. Best Foods or Hellman’s. Iceberg lettuce, not frou frou arugula, and how about sweet mustard? And did I say salt and pepper?�

Turnout in the primary election on Tuesday sits at about 17 percent of the registered voters in early returns. On Tacoma’s ballot was a Port of Tacoma Commissioner’s race, with incumbent Connie Bacon taking a decisive lead with 49 percent of the vote, followed by Eric Holdeman with 23 percent and Dave Dormier with 20 percent. Andre Young trailed with just 5 percent. Young is a convicted sex offender who spent much of his life behind bars until he was released in 2010. Bacon is a long-time port watcher, 16-year veteran of the commission and the former director of the World Trade Center Tacoma. Holdeman was the former Port of Tacoma security chief, while Dormier is a Gig Harborbased engineer. Only the top two candidates in a primary race advance to the Nov. 5 general election ballot. Two other commissioner seats ran unopposed, so Dick Marzano and Don Meyer retain their positions without facing a challenger in the general election.

That accounts for Carol Evavold’s really, really raised bed planter at King’s Manor Senior Living Community at 8609 Portland Ave. E., on the occasionallydisputed Tacoma-Midland border. King’s Manor has a conventional raised bed vegetable garden soaking up sunshine and plumping up squash on the south side of the building. But Max Evavold wanted to improve the view for his mother and father, Carol and Don Evavold, who moved in two years ago. They started out as wheat farmers in Odessa, then moved to Spokane, where Don was assistant to the dean of Gonzaga University School of Law. Carol was a reporter and a teacher - and a gardener. Together they raised five fine sons and one delightful daughter.

“They are wonderful to me,” Carol said. “It was Max’s idea to make the planter,” Carol said. “Just because we live here, and he wanted it outside our window.” Without the planter, the view is plain – a patch of lawn and a stretch of bare, undeveloped property. With the planter, it includes a tipitype framework supporting a painted box of geraniums and other annuals. Max, who is a carpenter and school bus driver, devised the design to be strong and stable, lovely and quirky. At the top, a bungee cord straps in a purple gazing globe. The bungee’s required because some jerk made off with the first purple gazing globe. It’s always refreshing when twerps steal stuff from nice people in their 90s, don’t you think? Miffed, but undeterred, Max Evavold replaced the globe and rigged an anti-theft device around it. His wife, Arlene, plants the box each

On Aug. 17, a few thousand people will turn up for the fourth annual Downtown Tacoma Block Party. The event is quickly becoming a regional favorite because it offers more than just things to watch or buy, this festival asks attendees to have fun flexing their creative muscle. And it somehow manages to transform the face of one of Tacoma’s favorite streets in the process. While most festivals are welcome change-ups to people’s typical day-to-day routines, the Downtown Tacoma Block Party sets itself apart by trading the expected booth-and-stage setup for a smorgasbord of handson fun. Instead of vendor stalls, you might find a lifesized Operation game where participants throw paint-filled water balloons at artist-made renderings of the classic game board. Crafts, painting, a costume photo booth, school-yard games, and something called, “The Foursquare Thunderdome,” make up some of the list of dozens of activities. “We wanted to rethink the festival thing and give people something more memorable than walking around and looking at stuff. People can help paint a mural on the wall of the alley if they want to,” said block party creator, Justin Mayfield. The mural being referred to is a two-story opera-inspired design led by artist Liza

To play Tacoma Quirk and win four tickets to a Rainier’s game, plus a pack of sidewalk chalk and a map to the ChalkOffs at Frost Park, be the first to e-mail the correct answer to this question to kathleen@tacomaweekly.com: How many bolts did Max Evavold use to build the frame?

LAST WEEK’S WINNER:

John Edwards took home four excellent Rainiers tickets for figuring out that life-long Tacoman William Hansen was born at what was once Puget Sound Hospital. Hansen is famous in Tacoma for riding his BMW motorcycle with a sidecar designed for three dogs. We should mention that these baseball tickets include free parking, popcorn, peanuts, pop and beer.

Brown. The artistic effort is part of a history of the event leaving murals behind in Opera Alley, the famous Tacoma street that hosts the annual party. Attendees will be able to help fill in the design with help from the on-site artists. Last year’s mural led to an alley building owner repainting three buildings based on the mural color scheme. The festival hasn’t scrapped music altogether, though. The bands instead are comprised of some of Tacoma’s jazz, blues and funk legends. “We want people to get down. We want them to interact with the music instead of just watching it,” said Mayfield. The bands are encouraged to focus on instrumental improvisation and groovy beats. “The atmosphere is thick with electricity. Musicians and attendees are inspired by it as they create.” Another unique facet of the event is its invitation to kids. Beyond the Children’s Museum, Downtown doesn’t have many opportunities for families to play together. “Kids were going crazy last year – in a good way,” said décor designer, Lisa Fruichante. Last year Fruichante, a mother of three, thought up a town made entirely of boxes – complete with balconies, paint-

ed window trim and shingles. This year two of her kids came up with a “root beer garden,” where kids can be served root beer. Adults can get in if they’re accompanied by a minor. Fruichante’s décor designs are an important part to getting the street in a partyready state. Walls made out of pallets, parachutes hanging off buildings, multi-colored umbrellas suspended over the street in creative patterns – the décor is more elaborate than most festivals. “We’ve heard several times that people don’t feel like they’re in Tacoma when they enter the event. We love Tacoma, but we’re glad we can give people a unique experience,” said Mayfield. The Downtown Tacoma Block Party and most of its activities are free. Food and beverages cost money. It is on Aug. 17th from 4-10 p.m. in Opera Alley at South 7th and Court C in Downtown Tacoma. More information at DownTownNeighbors.com. The Downtown Block Party is a join production of Downtown Tacoma Neighbors and Local Life. Its purpose is to celebrate downtown as a neighborhood and give people an idea of what it’s like to create with their neighbors.

RAINIERS’ HITTING COACH BRINGS WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE TO THE JOB

LOCAL YOUTH SPRINTERS SHINE ON NATIONAL STAGE James-Heard, Ringo place in top five in 200 By Jeremy Helling jeremy@tacomaweekly.com

L

ocal youth track standouts Saudia JamesHeard and Kelee Ringo are continuing to shine. The duo was part of a group of six athletes to represent Washington at the Hershey’s Track and Field Games on Aug. 3 in Hershey, Pa., as each placed in the top five in the 200-meter dash in their respective divisions. “It felt really good,” said Ringo, an 11-year-old from Tacoma making his first appearance at the meet, which featured 450 of the top 9to 14-year-old athletes from around North America. “I felt honored that I got to go.” Ringo, the only 11-year-old in his group amongst seven 12-yearolds, claimed fourth place in the 200 with a time of 26.81 seconds. He earned the ticket to Pennsylvania by winning the 200 in 26.6 seconds at the regional meet at Mount Tahoma Stadium on July 23. The feat is even more impressive considering Ringo started track just three years ago as a way to improve his quickness for football. Ringo’s times in the 100and 200-meter dashes also qualified him for the Junior Olympics on July 22-28 in Greensboro, N.C., but he didn’t attend that event and hopes to qualify again next year. “I’m hoping to get good in both (events),” he said. “I want to win it all next year.” But Ringo, who will attend Gray Middle School this fall, was quick to deflect attention, giving credit for his success to “all my coaches and my parents. I especially thank God and my competition.” James-Heard, 13, made her fourth trip to the meet, having won the 400meter dash last year. Moving up to the 13- to 14-year-old age group this year, she took fifth in the 200-meter dash in a time of 27.07 seconds, noting that racing against an older group has provided a greater challenge. “They do take longer strides,” she said of the 14-year-olds, “so I just have to keep up with them. It’s hard to keep up with the strides, but I do my best and try.” That had capped a busy, impressive few weeks for James-Heard, who had set the Hershey’s Washington state record in the 200 at Mount Tahoma Stadium with a time of 25.05 seconds. She had taken third place

HITTING GURU. Howard Johnson is in his

first season as the Rainiers’ hitting coach after an illustrious career as a coach and player. By Karen Westeen Correspondent

Howard Johnson’s playing career spanned 18 years (1979-1995, plus two games in 2011,) and included such milestones as having three 30-30 (stolen bases and homeruns) seasons (1987, 1989, 1991), and getting two-thirds of the Triple Crown (38 homeruns and 117 RBI) in 1991, when he was also the first switch hitter to lead the National League in homers. He has two World Series rings; one with Detroit in 1984 and one with the Mets in 1986. After he retired from playing he went on to scout, manage and coach. This year HoJo, 52, is the Rainiers’ hitting coach. It is his year first with the Mariners’ system. He recently talked to Tacoma Weekly’s baseball correspondent Karen Westeen about his life in baseball.

KW: What position did you play? HJ: Mostly third, some shortstop, a little first, and some outfield, but primarily the infield. KW: You knew Tacoma manager John Stearns before he came here in May. Where did you first meet him? HJ: Stearns left the Mets before I got there, but I had met him many times before he got here. When I coached for the Mets, he was coaching and scouting with them. KW: What was it like when he got here? HJ: It was fun to have him here. I hated to lose Daren Brown but things happen in the game. KW: You were named to two All-Star teams. Did you play? HJ: Yes I played in both. I started in 1989 as a replacement for Mike Schmidt, who retired before the game. I was a reserve in 1991.

Despite being a seasoned veteran of national meets, James-Heard noted that she especially appreciated the time outside the track in Pennsylvania, as Hershey’s put up athletes in college dorms and matched them up with roommates. “It was a really nice experience,”

said James-Heard, who will be entering eighth grade at Hutdloff Middle School in Lakewood this fall. “You really get to interact with people.” Washington teammate Cassandra Lemus, of Seattle, won the Girls 9-10 100-meter dash in 14.24 seconds, while Puyallup’s Izaiah Fields took third in the Boys 13-14 200-meter dash in 24.26 seconds. Federal Way’s Kayla Johnson took sixth in the Girls 9-10 softball throw, while Lake Tapps’ Carson Taylor completed the group and took eighth in the Boys 11-12 800-meter run.

KW: Your 30-30 seasons and hitting for twothirds of the Triple Crown are great credentials for being a hitting coach. HJ: Being a good hitter does not mean you will be a good coach. You have to get away from what you did as a player and try to learn the game from a coaching standpoint and look at what each player needs. I’ve coached for several years and I’ve been trying to learn the craft and be a better coach. KW: You’ve probably got some little piece of information in your brain that deals with most any situation. HJ: I’ve coached long enough now that I’ve seen enough players with different styles and I know what guys are thinking before they even think it. I kind of sense what’s going on between their ears and that helps me develop a plan of attack. KW: What went into your decision to become a hitting coach? HJ: Love of the game, and I guess I have a knack for discernment and being able to take things apart. I try to listen and get better. I have a desire to always get better.

SPORTSWATCH WASHINGTON EVOLUTION WIN NATIONAL TITLE The Washington Evolution second-grade basketball team is celebrating winning the national title at the AAU National Championships in Memphis, Tenn. in the last week of June. The team, which practices at Stewart Middle School in Tacoma, won six of seven games at the tournament throughout the week, including a 40-30 win over Maryland’s Finest in the championship to claim the title. “It was kind of like a high school state championship, Tacoma Dome-type atmosphere,� said Evolution head coach Lonnie Walker. “You couldn’t believe at this age how serious it was.� To qualify for the national tournament, the Evolution won all four of their matchups in the regional qualifier in Eugene, Ore. in March. The team, consisting of point guard Tre’ Walker, Amari Jackson, Elijah Hall, Jasiah Amouzou, Shawn-Michael Stanley, Logan Walker and Malik Samuels, played in over 60 games in their regular season. They even won a few local tournaments in which the majority of the competition was comprised of fourth-grade players. “There was nothing they hadn’t seen,� Lonnie Walker said. “We had played older kids all season. By the time we were playing our age, it was kind of easy for them.� The success even led to the Evolution being featured in TIME Magazine’s July 12 issue, in an article focusing on the professionalization of youth sports (http://keepingscore.blogs.time. com/2013/07/11/a-national-basketball-championship-for-secondgraders/).

SHERMAN TAKES FOURTH AT TACOMA NARROWS HALF Will Sherman, a junior-to-be at Bellarmine Prep, placed fourth overall out of 794 finishers at the Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon on Aug. 3. Sherman finished first in his age group, notching a time of one hour, 19 minutes, 14 seconds.

The Seattle-Tacoma Cheney Studs won their first two games at the National Baseball Congress World Series, which was set to conclude on Aug. 10. The Studs began with a 9-7 win over the San Antonio Titans on Aug. 2, using four runs in the top of the ninth inning to take the lead. Kyle Boe was hit by a pitch to score Pierce College’s Brian Corliss to tie the game, and University of Puget Sound outfielder Connor Savage followed with a bases-loaded triple to score Boe, Eric Peterson and Jordan Copeland. Peterson finished with two hits and two runs batted in, and Boe added two RBIs for the Studs. After starter Ross Humes was roughed up, Puget Sound grad Taylor Thompson came in to pitch 3.1 innings of scoreless relief, eventually picking up the win. The Studs used another fourrun frame to take a 6-3 win over the El Dorado Broncos on Aug. 3, this time scoring four times in the bottom of the seventh to break open a 2-2 tie. Corliss gave the Studs the lead with a double to score Boe, Peterson later doubled to score Corliss and Yosuke Akitoshi and Bobby LeCount added a run-scoring double to plate Jared Van Hoon. Starter David Benson allowed two runs on three hits in six innings, with six walks and five strikeouts to pick up the win. The Studs were set to face the Hutchinson Monarchs on Aug. 6, and were assured of at least two more games in the tournament. The finals were to take place on Aug. 10

W Rainiers KW: How long were you out of baseball before you decided to go into coaching? HJ: I took about half a year off when I finished playing, then went into scouting with the Mets. I did that on the West Coast for about three years (19972001). That gave me an introduction to the other side of the game, but then I decided I wanted to be back on the field. I talked to the Mets about being a coach and started in 2001 with High-A in Brooklyn. They won the league championship that year. I managed that team the next year. Then I went into being a hitting coach. My first team was Single-A St. Lucie of the Florida State League (2003).

From page A6

KW: Do you use different tools to assess the players, like video as well as hands-on and personal experience? HJ: Yes. Video’s good. You have to know how to read it and decipher it. Primarily I use my eyes. I can see what’s happening in an at-bat, so if I can communicate verbally then I’m good, and if I can back it up with video or just show somebody something then I’ll go that route. KW: I know coaches get out to the park early and stay late. When would you work with the individual players? HJ: We have our batting-cage time before batting practice. Usually the guys come down there to get loose, warm up a little

bit and I might have a few things at that time that I’m trying to hammer home, based on the night before, good or bad. (I might) reinforce a positive or broach a different way of doing things, and then sometimes we have early BP on the field so I’ll have guys out hitting early, and that’s even more one-on-one in the cage.

KW: Is there anything that’s stadium-specific to the way they hit? HJ: We don’t want to tailor our approach to the stadium. We always try to take a good fundamental route to hitting and not change that. There are a lot of balls here that get caught that would go out in other parks. KW: I suppose you might change the way players bat from one at-bat to another in the same game, especially if a different pitcher comes in. HJ: I think at this level and the next level up it’s less

about mechanics and more about the thought process that different pitchers have. Part of my job is to try to inform the hitter as to how he’s going to be pitched to and how to approach the at-bat.

KW: You’ve had several major leaguers here on rehab. Is there any difference in the way you work with a rehabbing major leaguer as opposed to the way you work with the younger players on their way up and the everyday players? HJ: The rehab guys I don’t do a lot of tinkering around with mechanically, because they’re here to get healthy. I saw them in spring training and if I see something that I think would help them if they’re really struggling I’ll make suggestions. A guy like Mike Morse, I don’t have to say a word because he’s swinging the bat good and just trying to get healthy. I might make a few positive comments here and there.

KW: Were there any players you’ve coached that stand out from working with them? HJ: I worked with a lot of guys with the Mets that were pretty good ball players. David Wright comes to mind. Also Angel Pagan and Jose Reyes. KW: You’ve done a lot of things in your career – three 30-30 seasons, twothirds of the Triple Crown, two World Series championships among others. What’s been the highlight of all this? HJ: Probably being on the world championship teams because they are so hard to come by.

W Pierce Transit rather than wait two weeks for the regular meeting, because bus drivers were retiring or finding other work – ahead of the layoffs – to the point that it was affecting service. “We have had that problem for the last four years,� spokeswoman Carol Mitchell said. “It didn’t look like we were going to have to lay off many people at all because they were already gone.� Layoff notices had been sent to 84 full- and part-time drivers, for example, while some 37 people left the agency before those cuts. Transit officials couldn’t hire new drivers to fill empty positions in the driver pool because any new hire would be the first to be laid off because of the seniority agreement with the unionized workers. The vote canceled the 28 percent service reduction plan that would have taken effect on Sept. 29. The plan would have meant the loss of entire routes, fewer trips for others and the end of weekend bus service. The service reduction plan was based on a 1 percent growth in sales tax revenue and would have reduced bus service hours from

From page A1

417,000 hours to 300,000 hours. Those services are saved, for now. The projected level of service will be about 392,000 hours through 2014. The road ahead for those cuts is unclear since the sales tax revenue will have to improve at a rate of about 8 percent through next year to avoid cuts during the next budget. The economy has improved about 9.6 percent in recent months. “It is a little bit of a risk,� Mitchell said. “It’s a delay, I want to emphasize that.� While Pierce Transit provides about 392,000 hours of bus service, the agency will likely have to cut between 40,000 and 50,000 hours from the 2015 budget since sales tax collections are likely to fail to keep up with expenses at the current service level. For comparison, buses ran about 625,000 hours during the highest year of service five years ago. “Lost in a lot of the conversation is that we are a much smaller agency than we were when all of this started,� Mitchell said. Pierce Transit has cut its service levels during every budget since 2008. Several communities, namely

Sumner, Bonney Lake, DuPont and several patches of unincorporated Pierce County opted out of being in the Pierce Transit boundaries altogether during last year’s round of cuts. The vote to rescind the planned cuts keeps buses rolling and allows the agency to stem the flow of drivers bleeding out of the agency and even hire new drivers to replace those who have already left. The decision also buys transit staff some time to evaluate sales tax projections from the shrunken district, complete a revised service plan and lobby for legislative solutions to the problem of having 75 percent of the agency’s budget flow from highly volatile sales tax revenue. Sales taxes are collected by businesses within the transit boundaries, an area that is now smaller than it was last year. The money flows to the state and then back to the agency in a meandering twomonth process. That lag, coupled with the lack of a clear year-overyear comparison because of the smaller district and the wide swings in local retail spending volumes as the economy sputters to recover from the Great Recession, makes crystal-balling future routes challenging for commissioners. The latest economic forecast from the

Hooking up with Comeback Sports, the team competed in the South Sound Sports League and ended the season in a three-game winning streak, finishing with a 4 to 2 record and taking 2nd in the league division. A banquet at the Longshoremen’s Hall was held to celebrate the team’s first season success and they were presented with a large trophy. UWT also congratulated Seals and his teammates at UWT’s 10th annual OSCARS (Outstanding Student Ceremony for Awards and Recognition) banquet where the Basketball Association was nominated for a Campus Impact Award. Tacoma Huskies reach out to the broader community as well by raising money for the American Cancer Society and collecting clothing, backpacks, books and other school supplies for young people in need. They handed out toys on Christmas Day at Tacoma Rescue Mission and served meals at a local food bank on Thanksgiving Day by collaborating with UWT’s Black Student Union and Latino/a Student Union. The Basketball Association plans to keep this up in addition to holding youth rallies and providing other means of helping area students get the most education they can. Seals said he couldn’t be more pleased with how things are progressing for the Tacoma Huskies. “UWT not having any (sports teams) just motivated me moreso to have sports there,� he said. “The purpose of the organization is to start sports at UWT and lead to more sports like baseball and softball.� Since the founding of the Basketball Association, other sports clubs are coming together, according to Mirecki, such as ultimate Frisbee and volleyball. “We’re hoping that if we get enough students we can see some organizations grow around those sports too,� he said. “We hope there are more students like Josh out there we can work with to expand other programs as well.� The advent of the new University YMCA that’s set for completion in late 2014 will help UWT sports flourish. “Once it gets going, it will just make it more exactly what I envisioned,� Seals said. The timing for the new $20 million Y couldn’t be better, as it will be a fullfledged student center where UWT athletes and students will be able to grow in excellence in mind and body.

He earned an Associates degree with honors in 2011 from Highline Community College, then transferred to UWT as a junior where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in just two years. His field of study is a branch of psychology and sociology called Self and Society. “It deals with individuals and their behaviors and how they

react to society around them and how they cope to succeed,â€? Seals explained. His own life experiences led him to pursue this subject matter, and what he learned in his psychology classes helped pull it all together in ways that inspired him to take action in his own community. “When people in urban environments don’t have facilities to exercise or play sports‌they actually suffer more and derail their grades.

state was not available when the now-rescinded cuts were approved in June. “The board’s action gives the agency time to see how sales tax will perform for the balance of 2013, time to complete its 2014 budget process this fall, time to integrate the board’s recently-adopted strategic plan and return next year with a revised service plan based on a more complete financial picture,� said Pierce Transit CEO Lynne Griffith. Commissioners opted to rescind all the cuts rather than only keep some of the routes and save money to cushion next year’s cuts under the idea that the agency’s primary mission is to provide as many transit services as possible. The vote came with full knowledge that the public would be suspicious of future bond measures. Threats of deep cuts were used heavily to campaign for last year’s sales tax increase that failed to sway voters. Now those “doomsday� cuts are not coming at all. “Credibility is just as important as putting buses on the streets,� said Transit Commissioner and Fife City Council member Glen Hull. “The public doesn’t trust us, not just Pierce Transit, but all government.� The on-and-off service cuts and the emotional yo-yo avid transit rid-

He had to work hard to earn his high marks. “I don’t know what it was, but I was driven to succeed from a young age and it got me into college.� Seals said he had to stay focused while in college, and he encourages the youth he encounters to follow this same path in order to succeed in life. “It’s essential that they know from a young age to get involved in school,� Seals said. “College is no joke. There are parties going on and everything, but you have to discipline yourself to succeed. It paid off for me.� He credits his parents for putting him on the right path from an early age.

What is clear is that transit services are set to continue “as is� for another year and changes are in the works after then. Part of that change will come from Community Investment Teams of smaller cities and neighborhoods tasked with developing more specific transit plans. Gig Harbor started the first effort last month when it rolled out a trolley that linked the downtown waterfront district to the uptown shopping district located on the other side of State Route 16. Fife, Milton, Puyallup, Edgewood and the Puyallup Tribe have created a group, as well. The group will look at community-tailored solutions that may include circular routes between them or route timing changes. “These are expensive services,� Hull said. Options could also mean cutting down on the number of stops routes have in an effort to shorten transit times. Hub-to-hub express routes often have more riders than those with more stops. “The dynamics of public transit is changing,� Hull said. “That is exactly what people want, fewer stops, faster times.�

We’re very proud of him.� Seals said his parents taught him that family and faith would guide him on his life’s path. “Being a part of two reverends, they trained me to be this way. I appreciate everything they did to raise me because it’s easy to go astray, especially being young and in the city. (Youth) need good role models and we want them to be good role models too and it starts with their education, to stay in school and have opportunities like I have today.� Joshua Seals is also a minister and travels to various churches in the Tacoma area to speak with and encourage youth. “In my youth ministry I always encourage them to go to college – college will be one of the best times of your life.� Seals is a rapper as well and performs his own original socially conscious raps at area open mics.

Seals is feeling out career opportunities these days, as he wants to stay in Tacoma. “I’d really like to work with human services and work with people handson because that’s what my degree entails,� he said. Now that he is no longer a student at UWT, Seals said he will stay involved in the association and be there to lend guidance and support to the team under its new leader and UWT senior Alex Johnson. Mirecki said the campus needs more young men like Seals. “Josh is one of those special students that come around once in a great while. He’s an outstanding guy and someone I’ve really enjoyed getting to know. He sees the value of continuing it stay involved and supporting that next generation of students behind him and that really speaks to his character.�

Museum of Glass explores the Pacific Northwest-Australia connection By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma’s own Museum of Glass is currently hosting a swanky show that explores the virtuous cycle of influence and counter-influence between the art glass community of the Pacific Northwest and that of Australia. Entitled “Links: Australian Glass and the Pacific Northwest,” the show embodies the story of how the Pacific Northwest has figured in the development of a thriving community of glass artists in Australia. Beginning in the 1970s the Australian government invited glass artists from abroad to come and jump-start an Australian studio glass movement. Artists and institutions affiliated with the Pacific Northwest played a key role in this process. Today many of the studio glass artists of Australia are influential leaders in the international glass movement. “Links” consists of dozens and dozens of individual art pieces by many of these Australian artists. Also included are pieces by a few of the Northwest artists that played a role in the growth of the Aussie glass community. Among the latter are Richard Marquis and Dante Marioni. Marquis was among the first of the American apostles of studio glass who, beginning in 1974, went “down under” to spread the gospel of glass blowing. Seemingly complex yet whimsical works like “Elephant in Boat on Wheels” and “Crazy Quilt Coffee Pot” capture Marquis’ colorful and playful approach to blown glass. One of Marquis’ first Australian converts to blown glass was Nick Mont who is represented by several of his “Scent Bottles.” The brilliance and elegance of these owe a debt to Marioni who has taught classes and workshops in Australia on numerous occasions. Australian glass blowers are well represented by the likes of Gabriella Bisetto and Nadge Desgenétez, the latter of whom produced a series of elongated vessels inspired by her mother’s striped

stockings - a comforting memory of childhood. The fantastical glass monsters and crazy, blown glass potatoes of Tom Moore are a delight to behold. The glass blowing hot shop has long held pride of place in the world of art glass. The lively, teamoriented process of blown glass is a spectacle to watch. Witnessing a master glass blower and team is something akin to attending live theater. There is, however, another line of glass making – kilnformed glass – that is less spectacular process-wise. Nevertheless, the results of kiln-formed glass are every bit as stunning as those of blown glass. It is largely due to the influence of German-born Klaus Moje, long-time head of the glass department of Australian National University (ANU), that Australia has become a center of kiln-formed glass. Kiln forming and glass fusing is glass shaped within an oven-like kiln. Flat panels and combinations of glass are melted in the kiln often in molds. A fateful meeting took place in 1979 when Moje was at Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Wash. There he chanced to meet Boyce Lundstrom, a partner of the Bullseye Glass Company in Portland. Originally Bullseye was formed to make flat glass for use by stained glass artists, but the facility began to work with Moje to overcome a range of technical difficulties that were existent in various kiln-formed glass methods. Resolution of these technical problems at the Bullseye facility allowed Moje to dramatically expand the color range of kiln-formed glass. The partnership between Portland’s Bullseye Glass Co. and Australian artists working with Moje proved fruitful for the entire world of glass. Many Northwest artists are now working with kiln-formed methods pioneered by Moje and his disciples graduating out of ANU. The display of Moje’s works in “Links” is delightful. “Untitled (Double Diamond)” is a dazzling platter comprised of a series of squares that are in turn made of diagonal lines of taffy-like colors. There are two examples of vessels like “Orange

Vessel” that are the result of collaborations between Moje and Marioni in which kiln-formed and blown glass methods are combined. “Links” contains a lavish array of kiln-formed and cold worked glass objects (many by Moje’s former students) that tickle the visual funny bone. Scott Chaseling’s giant, illustrated tumblers with their visual puns bring viewers in for a closer look. Steve Klein and Giles Bettison create works with bands and weavings of rich color. Brenden Scott French uses glass to create horizontal panels that are as thick and powerful as a Vincent Van Gogh painting. The mention of these few artists just scratches the surface of all that “Links” has to offer. Judged by the evidence, Australian artists have managed to build a dynamic and influential community of artists and craftsmen working in the medium of glass. “Links” runs through January 2014.

LINCOLN HIGH BAND OF SCHOOL CELEBRATES THE WEEK ITS 100TH BIRTHDAY A NEW ONLINE FEATURE ONLY AT WWW.TACOMAWEEKLY.COM

Alumni gatherings planned at numerous downtown venues

he cornerstone for Lincoln High School was laid 100 years ago, on Labor Day; and the school opened for classes the following year, making it Tacoma’s second oldest high school (behind 107-year-old Stadium). Lincoln alumni have been celebrating the centennial all week. Many converged on Cheney Stadium on Tuesday night to see the Tacoma Rainiers vanquish the Iowa Cubs; 97year-old Eunice Huffman, the school’s oldest living grad, tossed out the first pitch. Then more Abes were expected to take over Tacoma Comedy Club on Thursday night for a special alumni show. Festivities continue this weekend at Tacoma’s Downtown Summerfest, a block party that will start at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10, on ‘A’ Street, between Eighth and Ninth streets. The event will feature two stages, one showcasing local acts Nolan Garrett, Rocky Sandoval, Two Story Zori and Stickerbush at Fireman’s Park, 801 ‘A’ St. That same day, alumni will meet up to reminisce at several downtown venues. Alumni who attended Lincoln in 1954 or earlier will meet up at Meconi’s Pub & Eatery, 709 Pacific Ave. Abes who attended from 1955 to 1969 will converge on the new 502 Martini Bar & Lounge (which recently took over the former location of Big Whisky), 100 S. 9th St. Years 1970 to 1985 will meet at Tacoma Cabana, 728 Pacific Ave.; 1986 to 1995 will meet at the Office Bar & Grill, 813 Pacific Ave.; 1995 to 2005 at the Matador, 721 Pacific Ave.; and 2006 to present will gather at Dorky’s Arcade, 754 Pacific Ave. “The fact that we’re getting people together from so many classes is really exciting,� said Julie Collison,

Organizers say you don’t have to be a Lincoln alumnus to attend, and the purchase of $25 bracelet will provide access to various on-site specials. Festivities will continue on Sunday, Aug. 11, with an open house and car show that will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the high school, which is located at 701 S. 37th St. A 100th anniversary ceremony will be held in the auditorium, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. “You’ll be able to walk through the school, and there’s over 30 classrooms that will have memorabilia

from over the years,� organizer Tami Scheidt said. On Sept. 14, Lincoln High’s football team will take on Stadium; and organizers will recreate a Thanksgiving Day tradition that dates back to the 1950s: The Turkey Bowl. “The entire community would turn out for the football game,� Scheidt said. “All the jocks from years ago and all the old cheerleaders from years ago are going to be represented in either the pre-game events for the halftime show.� Alumni can register online, learn more and donate to the Alumni Association’s ongoing scholarship efforts at lhsaatacoma.com.

Federal Way star running back now rocks West Coast stages

TW PICK OF THE WEEK: MUSIC AND ART IN WRIGHT PARK WILL BRING GIRL TROUBLE, BLANCO BRONCO, FURRY BUDDIES, KRAMER AND MORE OF THE SOUTH SOUND’S MOST POPULAR ROCK BANDS TO WRIGHT PARK, FROM NOON TO 7 P.M. ON SATURDAY, AUG. 10. THE EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL AGES.

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

I

n the ‘90s, Travis Henry made headlines as a star running back at Federal Way High School and Central Washington University. But, for the last decade and a half, he’s been known as Shyan Selah, and he’s been rocking stages from here to Los Angeles. In 1999, Selah founded his label, Brave New World Entertainment, issuing his full-length hip-hop debut, “Brave New World,” a few years later. But, since 2010, he and his band, the Republic of Sound, have become known for a more eclectic sound that incorporates elements of rock, pop and R&B. His next local performances are at Seattle Hempfest, at 1 p.m. Aug. 18, and at 8 p.m. Aug. 31 at Tacoma’s Jazzbones. Those will be followed by a national Starbucks tour, and we hear something about him going Hollywood after that. Could this be the year he breaks through nationally? Tacoma Weekly: How did you get started? Selah: I was raised in Federal Way, but I really got my start in Hollywood. Another Federal Way kid, named Erik Willis, ended up being one of the singers in an R&B group called Shai. (He) was the head of music for the Wayans brothers. I actually got my start being on “The Wayans Bros.” show, and kind of got introduced to entertainment there, working at the WB. I was exposed to acting and modeling and the business side of things very early and got the chance to cut my teeth performing during the intermissions and stuff. TW: Over the years, I’ve seen you do a lot of different things, from the music to having a radio talk show at one point (“Life: The Shyan Selah Show,” on Seattle’s THE PAINTING (76 MIN, NR) Fri 8/9: 1:50, 3:45 Sat 8/10-Sun 8/11: 11:45am, 1:50, 3:45 Mon 8/12-Thur 8/15: 1:50, 3:45 THE ACT OF KILLING (115 MIN, NR) Fri 8/9-Thu 8/15: 5:35, 8:05 FRUITVALE STATION (90 MIN, R) Fri 8/9: 2:15, 4:40, 7:00, 9:00 Sat 8/10-Sun 8/11: 11:55am, 2:15, 4:40, 7:00, 9:00 Mon 8/12-Thu 8/15: 2:15, 4:40, 7:00, 9:00 THE WAY, WAY BACK (113 MIN, PG-13) Fri 8/9: 2:00, 4:25, 6:50, 9:10 Sat 8/10-Sun 8/11: 11:35am, 2:00, 4:25, 6:50, 9:10 Mon 8/12-Thu 8/15: 2:00, 4:25, 6:50, 9:10 20 FEET FROM STARDOM (91 MIN, PG-13) Fri 8/9: 1:35,6:15, 8:30 Sat 8/10-Sun 8/11: 11:30am, 1:35,6:15, 8:30 Mon 8/12: 1:35, 6:15, 8:30 Tue 8/13: 8:30 Wed 8/14-Thu 8/15: 1:35, 6:15, 8:30 I’M SO EXCITED (90 MIN, R) Fri 8/9-Thu 8/15: 4:00 DECEPTIVE PRACTICE: THE MYSTERIES AND MENTORS OF RICKY JAMES (88 MIN, NR) Tues 8/13: 1:35, 6:20

BUZZED. Shyan Selah comes to Jazzbones Aug. 18.

KKNW-AM 1150). Selah: Really, that was centered on community outreach. For years, I’ve always just taken the entertainment infrastructure ... and used it as an instrument to teach inside of schools and colleges. The agenda was to just show that kids don’t have to focus on being the star, per se. They can look at all these different occupational roles that support any celebrity or any star. You’ve got accountants, you’ve got attorneys, you’ve got people in PR. You’ve got so many different (jobs) that can play a significant role. TW: We’ve seen your music evolve over the years, from more of a traditional hip-hop style to the stuff you’re doing with your band, the Republic of Sound. Tell me about that transition. Selah: In black culture in particular, you’re usually just crammed with funk, R&B, gospel - maybe some blues and hip-hop. But my dad, his cache included country and western, bluegrass. It included pop, rock ‘n’ roll, of course - new wave. I listened to everything from James Brown to Culture Club when I was growing up. Then I had two older brothers that were really involved in hip-hop, breakdancing and whatnot. So I was always pretty diverse. It’s just hip-hop gave me my first break. I just wanted to be able to expand and become a little bit more authentic with what was musically going on inside of me. So I developed a band; and with the Republic of Sound, now I finally feel like I’ve found my true voice. I love hiphop, but I also love rock n’ roll and soul music. It’s all just kind of finding a way to mesh together. TW: I saw on your web site that you’re working on a new full-length album. Selah: Yeah, the album is called “City of Angels.” The first single release is gonna be “Pink Butterfly.” We were originally slated

for this month, but we’re gonna go ahead and move the entire campaign to October. The band is pumped. We’ve had some great, great shows in Hollywood, at the Whiskey (A Go Go), and are getting ready to embark on some other touring opportunities. People are really liking our sound and our style, and I think it’s gonna do something. TW: So you’re doing a big tour of Starbucks. How did that come about? Selah: I basically was arranging a national tour anyway, and … there’s a Starbucks everywhere you go, no matter what city you’re in. They just so happen to have a really cool initiative with these community stores they’re trying to launch where they have are a really strong give-back component in each community. They have one in Harlem, one in Houston and one in L.A. And they just launched one in Seattle where I was able to perform and do the inaugural event there. TW: What else do you have coming up this summer? Selah: The biggest thing I’m waiting for is really not a summer thing; it’s coming up in October. It’s my first feature film role with “Bronx Bull.” It comes out on Oct. 11. TW: What are you doing with that? Selah: I have a small scene with William Forsythe, the lead actor who’s playing the role of Jake LaMotta, the former Italian middleweight champ. I’m playing a retired boxer who’s a good friend of Jake’s. Our scene is really at a critical stage in Jake Lamotta’s life where he’s just holding onto the bootstraps and trying to make ends meet. We both work at this venue in New York City, and we have a little exchange on camera. So it’s kind of fun. And them I’m on the soundtrack as well.

Pet of the Week

“Maxwell” Say hello to a beautiful one year old Red Brindle named Maxwell. This energetic Pit Bull Terrier Mix is what we call a ‘Go-Getter” pup. A dog with this kind of stamina and love for play is best suited for an active family. He’ll beg you for that morning jog that you need the extra nudge to accomplish and jump for joy at the sight of his favorite toy. Maxwell has the manners that any pooch would be proud to have and is gentle during his frequent attempt at playtime. This loving dog will bring the best out of his new family and spark the love for play and adventure. Make Maxwell yours today. Reference #A476802
