acoma Public Schools administrators needs parents of current middle school students to serve on a committee that will meet in the coming year to help redraw middle school boundaries as the district prepares to reopen Hunt Middle School as well as address population shifts within the district’s school boundaries. The district would like two parent volunteers from each of the district’s nine middle schools to provide recommendations for the boundaries each middle school will serve. To date, the district only has five applications
“We are trying to plan ahead.” – DISTRICT SPOKESMAN DAN VOELPEL to serve on what officials hope will be an 18-member committee. The volunteer committee, alongside district staff and principals, will analyze enrollment projections and boundary lines and recommend adjustments to the superintendent and school board by early January. Any changes could come as early as 2017, with Hunt factoring into the changes when it opens as late as 2021.

“We are trying to plan ahead,” district spokesman Dan Voelpel said. A technical team has already started work on crunching enrollment data and trends throughout the district and will create a "springboard" boundary line proposal to give the committee a starting point for its discussions, analysis and deliberations. Computer models will also provide the committee with real-
time enrollment estimates as they propose changes. The district’s consultant on the project has loaded student demographic information including age, home address, results on test scores, ethnicity and status regarding free or reduced lunch participation so the committee could see within moments what affects a particular boundary change would have on the surrounding schools. The computer modeling allows the committee to create diverse schools, socially, academically and ethnically. “The committee will be able to see their proposed changes in real time,” Voelpel said. u See REMAP / page A9

The current round of construction along Interstate 5 hit its midpoint this year, so there is only another four years left of local construction cones and lane closures along that strip. But that won’t end work crews and detours. Those will continue for years to come as work then focuses on port-related off ramps, interchanges as well as State Route 167.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK
South 46th and Sheridan Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.” In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. Two road packages passed by voters last year added money to the city’s street fund. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

AG Files cAmpAiGn FinAnce complAint AGAinst port oF tAcomA oFFiciAls, eDB, chAmBer oF commerce The Attorney General’s Office announced the filing of a complaint on Aug. 15 in Pierce County Superior Court alleging campaign finance violations by Port of Tacoma officials, the Economic Development Board of Tacoma-Pierce County and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce. The complaint alleges that Port officials violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using public funds and facilities to litigate against two ballot propositions promoted by the group “Save Tacoma Water.” The AGO alleges that the EDB and the Chamber violated RCW 42.17A.255 by failing to disclose independent expenditures they made opposing the propositions in the same lawsuit. “Washington’s campaign disclosure laws demand transparency and accountability,” Attorney General Bob Ferguson said. “Washington elections, including the financial forces that drive them, will take place in the clear light of day.” In June 2016, the Attorney General’s Office received a Citizen Action Notice alleging violations of the state’s public disclosure laws by Port officials, the EDB and the Chamber. The AGO referred the matter to the state Public Disclosure Commission for possible investigation

PUBLIC INVITED TO WEIGH IN ON PROPOSED FIREWORK RESTRICTIONS Pierce County Councilmember Connie Ladenburg is encouraging the public to speak at the County Council on a proposed ordinance that restricts fireworks in Pierce County. County Ordinance 2016-39 would amend Pierce County Code limiting the sale and discharge of fireworks to July 1-4. The opportunity to speak to the Public Safety, Human Services, and Budget Committee is Aug. 22 at 1:30 p.m., at Council Chambers, 930 Tacoma Ave. S., Rm. 1045. Individuals who are unable to make the meeting but would still like to comment can contact their County Council representative or comment online at www.co.pierce.wa.us/council. “Around the 4th of July holiday we receive many calls from citizens concerned about significant noise and safety concerns not only for people but for animals,” said Councilmember Ladenburg. “I understand the desire to celebrate the holiday, and instead of a complete ban on fireworks, which many jurisdictions have implemented, I am presenting this code amendment to balance the desires of the community.” Pierce County Code currently follows state law regulation on the sale, purchase, possession and use of consumer fireworks from June 28-July 5. The proposed amendment would make the following changes to the current Unincorporated Pierce County Code: • Sales and Purchases Permitted: July 1 through July 4, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Discharge is Permitted: July 4, 10 a.m. to 12:00 midnight. This code amendment is subject to a vote of the Council and would go into effect for the July 4, 2018 holiday.

and a recommendation. Following PDC staff review and recommendation on Aug. 8, the commission voted to recommend no further legal action. Nevertheless, the Attorney General’s Office believes that the actions of the Port officials were prohibited by RCW 42.17A.555 and that the EDB and the Chamber were obligated under RCW 42.17A.255 to disclose the amount of money they spent opposing the propositions. The AGO’s complaint alleges that through July 21, 2016, the Port officials improperly expended approximately $45,000 in litigation costs to oppose the ballot propositions. The complaint further alleges that the EDB and the Chamber each failed to disclose approximately $10,000 spent in litigation costs opposing the ballot propositions. The state seeks penalties and injunctive relief. The defendants will have 20 days from the date they are served to respond to the state’s complaint.

CITY MANAGER TO MEET WITH COMMUNITY ON BUDGET PROCESS As the City of Tacoma develops a Proposed 2017-2018 Biennial Budget for presentation to the City Council in early October 2016, City Manager T.C. Broadnax will attend regularly scheduled Neighborhood Council meetings in August and September as part of the budget outreach process. In 2017 and 2018, revenues are projected to grow at 1.8 percent, while expenses are projected to grow at a faster rate. If the City maintains current service levels, the difference between revenues and expenses is projected to be almost $7 million. This shortfall would increase substantially if the City were to address deferred maintenance issues that have been put off in the past in order to prioritize spending on other capital expenses and expand City services. The City is currently working to prioritize funding between existing services, deferred maintenance, and new and expanded services. “We are committed to closing the gap between revenues and expenses by balancing the need for savings with the effective delivery of core services,” said Broadnax. “I attended the South End Neighborhood Council meeting last night to gather more information about the budget priorities and concerns that South End community members have, and I encourage everyone who is interested in the budget development process to attend an upcoming Neighborhood Council meeting and share their thoughts with me.” Meeting times and locations are as follows: • Sept. 1, 7 p.m., Central Neighborhood Council at Tacoma Nature Center, 1919 S. Tyler St. • Sept. 12, 6 p.m., North End Neighborhood Council at University of Puget Sound (Trimble Forum), 1500 N. Warner St. • Sept. 14, 5:30 p.m., Neighborhood Council of New Tacoma at People’s Community Center (Boardroom), 1602 Martin Luther King Jr. Way • Sept. 15, 7 p.m., Northeast Tacoma Neighborhood Council at TPD Sector 1 Northeast Substation, 4731 Norpoint Way NE • Sept. 19, 6:30 p.m., Eastside Neighborhood Council at Stewart Heights Park Building, 402 E. 564th St. • Sept. 21, 6:30 p.m., South Tacoma Neighborhood Council at STAR Center, 3873 S. 66th St. • Sept. 21, 7 p.m., West End Neighborhood Council at TFD Station #16, 7217 6th Ave. ENSURE IMMUNIZATIONS ARE UP TO DATE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS Preventable diseases should not be among the challenges kids face in school. Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department encourages parents to get their children immunized now before school starts in the fall. With preparation, parents can avoid long wait times and possible delays to meet this state requirement. “Immunization requirements help us achieve a high level of vaccination coverage to prevent disease outbreaks among our school children,” said Nigel Turner, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department Communicable Disease division director. This year could be especially busy for immunizations because of the expanded state requirement that all students have two doses of the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine before school starts. Students who have already had chickenpox do not need the vaccine, but they must have verification from a doctor. From the 2014-15 school year to the 2015-16 school year, immunization rates increased for Pierce County kindergartners for all required immunizations (from 86.3 percent to 87.6 percent), whooping cough (from 94.7 percent to 95.2 percent) and measles (from 92.2 percent to 93.1 percent). “With rates higher than the state average, we are doing good work to reduce the likelihood of disease outbreaks,” Turner said. “Parents, school nurses and staff, and health care providers are working together to increase immunization rates and raise community immunity.” Find a list of immunization requirements by grade, information about the chickenpox vaccine requirement, and a calendar of free immunization clinics on our web site at tpchd. org/immunizations.

DePutieS SeArch for Sex offenDer who threAtenS victimS’ fAmilieS By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox
Pierce County detectives in the sex offender registration unit are asking for the public’s help to find Douglas Jermaine Bush. In 2006 he was DAVID ROSE convicted of rape of a child in the third degree in Clark County. He has also been convicted of felony harassment. According to official court records, Bush engaged in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. He then threatened the teen and her family while in prison. “This particular level 3 sex offender has a history of not registering and moving around from county to county. Plus, on top of that, he harasses
victim's families, so he's somebody who's out there, probably doing the same thing, harassing people, moving around and not registering, so we want to get him identified and what location he’s living in and make sure he registers and hold him accountable," said Det. Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. In 2012, Bush was convicted of felony harassment in Clark County after sexually assaulting a woman he knew. Bush did not participate in a sex offender treatment program while he was in prison. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to Bush’s arrest. Call the hot line anonymously at 1 (800) 222-TIPS. This is one of the cases being featured Friday night on “Washington's Most Wanted” at 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.
ALL SR 16 TRAFFIC ROUTED ONTO EASTBOUND TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE BEGINNING AUG. 26 Drivers who use the State Route 16 Tacoma Narrows Bridge are encouraged to plan ahead for weekend and weeknight delays in late August and early September. During the weekends of Aug. 26-29 and Sept. 9-12, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will reduce SR 16 to two lanes in each direction at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge for bridge paving. To keep traffic moving, the eastbound lanes of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge will be used to carry both eastbound and westbound traffic across the Narrows. “Repaving both bridges is quite an undertaking,” said WSDOT Project Engineer Gaius Sanoy. “We appreciate drivers’ patience as we work to take care of these key routes over the Narrows.”
weekenD cloSure DetAilS: SR 16 will be reduced to two lanes in each direction at the Narrows over the weekends of Aug. 26 and Sept. 9. Reducing eastbound SR 16 to two lanes will occur in phases starting at 6 p.m. each Friday. The two westbound SR 16 lanes will be detoured onto the eastbound bridge. That shift will also occur in phases starting at 8 p.m. each Friday.
Crews will close the 24th Street on-ramp to eastbound SR 16 and the westbound SR 16 exit to 24th Street. The Jackson Street on-ramp to westbound SR 16 may also need to be closed. The ramps will be closed at 7 p.m. each Friday. The highway speed limit will be temporarily reduced at the bridge over both weekends from 60 mph to 35 mph. All lanes and ramps will reopen by 5 a.m. each following Monday morning.
weeknight cloSure DetAilS: Drivers can expect nighttime eastbound lane closures between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 29, through Thursday, Sept. 1, as contractor crews repave the eastbound lanes of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The westbound bridge will be open to westbound traffic during that time. DriverS cAn helP keeP trAffic moving WSDOT anticipates lengthy traffic delays during the weekend closures. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, add extra time to their travel and delay discretionary trips.

orting officerS, Pierce county DePutieS teAm uP to ArreSt cAreer criminAl Over the weekend, Orting Police officers, assisted by deputies from the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, arrested a suspect with multiple warrants and a long criminal history. On Aug. 13, the Orting Police Department requested assistance from the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department to arrest a 38-year-old male suspect who had evaded capture several times. The suspect had multiple felony warrants for his arrest and has a long history of felony convictions including armed robbery, burglary and theft. He was also a suspect in a burglary that occurred earlier that day. A firearm was stolen during the burglary and the suspect was believed to be armed and dangerous. Officers and deputies arrived at the Orting farm where the suspect was known to be hiding, and they knocked on the front door. Minutes later, deputies who were surrounding the property saw a dark figure mov-
ing near the fence line. They turned on their flashlights and immediately recognized the suspect. They pursued him on foot, announcing who they were and ordering the suspect to stop. After the suspect refused to comply, a pursuing deputy deployed his K-9. Moments later, the K-9 made contact with the suspect and the deputy took the suspect to the ground. The suspect violently resisted arrest, kicking deputies to try and get them off of him. Once the suspect was detained, Orting Valley Fire & Rescue District #18 responded and rendered aid for the suspect’s dog bites. He was booked into the Pierce County Jail. “The Orting Police Department is very appreciative of the help received from the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department and Orting residents,” said Orting Police Chief Bill Drake. “We’re proud to have removed this career criminal from our community.”

THE QUEEN OF LOSERS
WHILE MOST OF US HATE LOSING, TACOMA'S JANET HELLMAN, A 78-YEAR-OLD MOTHER OF SEVEN AND GRANDMOTHER OF 22, IS CHEERING ABOUT EVERY POUND SHE'S LOSING

What's the best way to drop a hundred pounds? Miracle pill? Cabbage soup? Insanity workout? According to Tacoma's Janet Hellman, 78, it's hard work, staying dedicated and receiving support from others struggling with weight. Hellman is a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, or TOPS, a non-profit weight loss program founded in 1948. The focus is on portion control, tracking meals, getting physically active and supporting each other when the cupcakes kick in. Hellman was honored as TOPS' queen of Washington State, managing to drop 101 pounds, more than anyone else in TOPS' Washington State chapter last year. “It's not easy to give up cookies, ice cream and candy. Everybody stumbles, but I never stop. I just start over again,” Hellman says. Struggling with weight, Hellman is not alone. About 27 percent of adults in Washington State are obese according to Trust for America's Health, a health policy organization. That's an increase of
18 percent since 2000. The group's 2014 annual report, “State of Obesity,” found that Washington State is the 38th highest state in a national obesity ranking. “I think society as a whole needs to look at what eating healthy really is, not thinking it's going to be found pre-packaged in an envelope. It's going to be found eating real food and making a real effort to stay more active,” says TOPS president Barbara Cady, who initially joined the organization to lose enough weight for a healthy pregnancy. “We're here because we truly believe in each other's ability to succeed in what is one of the most difficult challenges you could ever face,” Cady says. “When you come into a meeting, there's no judgment.” Hellman initially joined TOPS in 1969, losing 100 lbs. She was confident that she could keep the weight off on her own. But as a mother of seven, cooking for a large family made staying in shape a challenge. As her weight climbed up and down, simple household chores became challenging, yet it wasn't until a doctor's visit that Hellman realized she needed to take her health seriously again.
The Washington State Attorney General’s Office has filed a complaint against the Port officials, Economic Development Board for Tacoma-Pierce County and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber for their actions against the Save Tacoma Water citizen initiatives. “The AGO’s complaint alleges that ... the Port officials improperly expended approximately $45,000 in litigation costs to oppose the ballot propositions.”
Koden are all KOPS, which is the next level of the TOPS program to Keep Off Pounds Sensibly.
“I've been on every program that's out there; I have every diet book that's out there,” she said. As a diabetic, she relied on medication to keep her going, but the doctor told her that she wouldn't live to see her grandchildren grow up, and that she would be dead before her mother. After one heart attack, two strokes and with 10 percent heart usage, Hellman kicked into action once more. Along with her daughter, Hellman joined TOPS again at 300 pounds, this time determined to keep the weight off. Being able to work with a group that can help navigate the weight loss journey, accomplishments are a team effort. What TOPS members lose in pounds, they get to display on their jackets as charms, awarded during the weekly weigh-ins. When the weight stalls, however, there will be support from the group. “They say: ‘Don't worry, next week you'll do better,’” says Hellman. Upon losing the weight, Hellman's heart health went up to 45 percent, her eyesight increased, and she no longer needs diabetes medication. She now keeps a food journal, where she writes down what she
eats. After moving up a level and becoming a KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly), Hellman is motivated to go for TOPS' Century Club Winner for keeping her weight off for a year. Among the 160 Washington State chapters, members have managed to lose a combined total of more than 20 tons of weight in 2015. Being able to do karaoke with her daughters, dancing and going on hikes with her grandchildren offers a new quality of life that Hellman wants to continue. She is now more active than ever and being told, “Grandma, you're just going to have to slow down a little bit, we can't keep up with you” is a huge motivator to keep going. “I feel like a spring chicken. I can do anything,” she said. At a $32 annual membership and $5 for the weekly meetings, TOPS invites everyone to join. “Please come and check our TOPS group out. You have to take the first step and come and try it. We are there for you,” says Hellman. She is now eager to motivate others and is available as a guest speaker (Janet Hellman: 253-370-2725).

COMMUNITY TREASURE LOIS ZAROUDNY PASSES AWAY By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com
The city of Milton lost one of its brightest figures on Aug. 4 when Mayor Pro Tem Lois Zaroudny passed away peacefully at home. Zaroudny lived most of her life in Milton and was not only dedicated to preserving its history, but also ensuring the town had a bright future. She served on various boards and councils in the town and was instrumental in the creation of the veterans and upcoming 9/11 memorials. “Lois had tremendous character – a determined, independent disposition,� Milton Mayor Debra Perry said. “She was sharp as a tack all the way to the end. When she threw her hat in the ring to be a council member, she was more than qualified.� Zaroudny had served on many boards and commissions, including the Park Board and the city’s Planning Commission; she created the Art Commission and she collected and organized Milton's history during the city’s Centennial. “Whatever she set her mind to she did, and did it well,� Perry said. Mayor Pro Tem Zaroudny has always
been active in the community regardless of her position on boards or councils. She went to Fife High School and attended school at Washington State Univeristy, and she never forgot her home in Milton where she eventually returned. “I don't think she ever missed a council meeting – even before she became a council member. She was always in the audience. I can't tell you how much I miss my friend and my colleague. She was always in my corner,� Perry said. Milton City Council member Susan Johnson remembers Zaroudny as the wisdom keeper for the city, someone who embodied the spirit of Milton and gave everything she had to preserve it. “Lois Zaroudny represented all that is good about Milton – care for her community and neighbors. She was the memory keeper for the City of Milton and her wisdom, based on this history, as well as her incredible skills at debating an issue, will be greatly missed by us,� Johnson said. “Lois took me under her wing and became my guide on city council. She knew no strangers, because she always welcomed one into her circle. I am honored that I was
able to be in her circle. May her soul soar with an eagle over Milton and keep her caring eye on our city.� Zaroudny was involved with bringing both the Veterans Memorial and the upcoming 9/11 Memorial to Milton. Jack Chandler worked with her on both projects and praised Zaroudny’s level head and selfless heart. “I asked if she would be interested in the treasurer position with the 9/11 Memorial committee and she jumped at the chance,� he said. “She was the steady rock when things started looking a little intense. She was always the one to keep the cool head and calm peoples’ nerves and keep us focused on the project. She was just an all around positive person, a positive thinker who kept us on track and she’s going to be missed. There’s going to be a pair of big shoes to fill. It was always ‘us’ and ‘we,‘ – it was never an ‘I’ – that came out of her. She was the same way on the city council, she had a positive input.� Zaroudny’s husband Serge passed away in 1988. She is survived by her brother Dean, her son Mike, daughter-in-law Anna, her nephew Doug and lifelong friends Bar-

take on the truck-related traffic to and from the tideflats. The next major ramp system work will come to Port of Tacoma Road to provide a more streamlined route between I-5 and the shipping terminals on the tideflats. “It was never designed to handle the level of traffic back when it was built decades ago,� Fife Public Works Director Russ Blount said. “Even with all of these improvements, there will still be some level of delay in I-5.� Port of Tacoma Road dates back to the 1960s and is now a key roadway for the tideflats, which supports some 43,000 jobs.

TRAFFIC. Backups and bottlenecks to and from Interstate 5 routinely send trucks onto Pacific Highway, clogging the city’s main arterial
vehicle trips a day to the local roadway. Another half-million-square-foot complex by Portside Development will add another 1,500 vehicles. The one-mile strip of roadway between I-5 and SR 509 is often already clogged with traffic. It has six traffic lights as well, causing backups onto I-5 as well as clogging feeder
roadways throughout much of the day. Some 18,000 vehicles drive through the area each day, a level of traffic that saw more than 200 accidents in the last three years. The $63 million Port of Tacoma Road overpass in the works will help streamline traffic on and off I-5. The new interchange will have I-5 traffic taking 34th

A ceremony was held at the Sumner Cemetery on Aug. 12 with a celebration of life ceremony being held afterward at Dave’s of Milton to pay tribute to a woman who truly lived and breathed this city. about $40 million. Construction of the final leg of SR-167 is set to start in 2019 and will likely continue through 2031 at a cost of $993 million from the $16 billion Connecting Washington transportation package lawmakers approved last year. The road would start at the current junction at Meridian to tie into Interstate 5, according to state reports. This project also includes the construction of a two-mile connection from I-5 to SR 509. These improvements will provide two lanes in each direction from Tacoma to Edgewood and Puyallup. But the road improvements still won’t control traffic snarls and backups. They will just largely keep up with traffic growth. “We aren’t going to have free flow,� Blount said.
Avenue, which has 20,000 drivers each day, will also get a makeover. City officials there have been working with state, tribal, port and federal agencies to develop an interchange that would not only cut down congestion and increase safety, but help in the city’s efforts of creating a downtown hub for commerce and community gatherings to end the struggle of “two Fifes� caused by I-5 bisecting the city. The preferred option at this point calls for a “Hybrid City Center Design� that keeps all of the existing on- and offramps on the east side of 54th Avenue and would provide two locations to enter or exit both northbound and southbound I-5, as well as include a new crossing of I-5 at Frank Albert Road East and 46th Avenue East at a cost of

LISTEN, LEARN, ACT ON CITY’S BUDGET Tacoma is embarking on its biennial budget talks with a roster of projects and programs worthy of taxpayer dollars. The current projection is that tax revenues into the city’s general fund will grow by about 1.8 percent during the next two years, falling short of the expected price increases and cost projections during that same time. In short, the city is projecting that the current level of programs and spending would cost about $7 million more than what the city is set to take in through taxes and fees during the next two years. That funding gap only grows in future years if nothing changes, either cuts or higher taxes. Sure, people hate taxes, but more than that, they hate cuts to services they use and appreciate. People generally want more police, more fire services, more libraries and faster permit and license application processings. But they don’t want to pay more for them. Something has to give. Many community members, for example, have voiced their concerns about departmental plans to close down Tacoma Public Library’s Northwest Room to help backfill the budget gap. The Northwest Room, to be clear, is a regional treasure that should be saved from the bugetary axe swinging now and for the treasure it will continue to be for future generations. Not only should it be saved, but expanded and enhanced. And that just might happen since library supporters, historians, ancestry seekers and simple folks who like the printed word or just an old-school place to sit in real wooden chairs spoke up once word got out that the Northwest Room might go away. Other programs and services funded by taxpayer dollars likely envy the support that the library in general, and the Northwest Room specifically, has with those who know its value to the community. Only time will tell if that support is enough. But other city services deserve funding as well. Programs for homeless and disadvantaged residents, more cops on the street and more firefighters all require dollars. Dollars to fund them aren’t coming in as fast as their costs. So the debates and discussions begin. Certainly they are not as heated – yet – as they were when the city faced a $63 million shortfall during the tough years of the Great Recession. But cuts can come in strange ways if no one speaks up. City Manager T.C. Broadnax will provide an overview of the budget at neighborhood council meetings in September as part of the budget outreach process and to gather residents’ thoughts on what the city should do. Tell him. The meeTing Times, daTes and places are: • 7 p.m. Sept. 1 at Tacoma Nature Center, 1919 S. Tyler St. • 6 p.m. Sept. 12 at University of Puget Sound’s Trimble Forum, 1500 N. Warner St. • 5:30 p.m. Sept. 14 at People’s Community Center , 1602 Martin Luther King Jr. Way • 7 p.m. Sept. 15 at Tacoma Police’s Northeast Substation, 4731 Norpoint Way NE • 6:30 p.m. Sept. 19, 6:30 at Stewart Heights Park Building, 402 E. 56th St. • 6:30 p.m. Sept. 21 at STAR Center, 3873 S. 66th St. • 7 p.m. Sept. 21 at Tacoma Fire Station #16, 7217 6th Ave. The City Council will then hold its own study sessions and hearing as the budget moves toward approval in late fall.

InveStorS wAnt hIgh tech comPAnIeS to SAve wAter By don c. Brunell Recently, Bloomberg reported that investors in massive data centers are making water availability a critical measurement in their decisions – especially in drought-ridden California. Data centers, giant buildings packed with servers that power our virtual world, generate tremendous amounts of intolerable heat. Traditionally, the centers have large cooling systems that require millions of gallons of freshwater. That’s a big problem, because water is increasingly in short supply. For the last five years, California has suffered through severe water shortages, which forced Gov. Jerry Brown to issue a series of emergency restrictions. Those curtailments have been a challenge for the high tech industry because the preponderance of California’s data centers are located in Silicon Valley, where the water supply flows out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. While the curtailments have targeted agriculture, traditional industries and municipal water users, Bloomberg reports that investors insist that data center owners and computer chip fabricators substantially step up their efforts to reduce their water intake and output. California has more than 800 of the world’s largest data centers. Those centers are often located in dry inland areas just as they are in Washington and Oregon. For example, Microsoft, Dell and
Yahoo built huge data centers in Quincy and Facebook located its server farm in Prineville, OR. Both cities are east of the Cascade Mountains where annual precipitation is a fraction of that of the west side. Center operators have improvised, but much more innovation will be required in the years ahead. For example, Facebook captures rainwater, which saves an estimated 272,000 gallons of water each year. It is now working on plans to recycle “gray� or slightly contaminated water from its processing. The semiconductor industry, which furnishes the chips for data center computers, is a big water consumer as well. According to Growing Blue, in 2007 Intel and Texas Instruments used a combined 11 billion gallons of water to produce silicon chips. They figured it took 2,000 gallons of water to make a single 300-millimeter silicon wafer – the base for the computer chip. The focus on water conservation is not new. In 1991, the Los Angeles Times reported computer chip manufacturers, which need large amounts of ultra-pure freshwater to thoroughly wash their wafers, needed to find creative ways to cut their freshwater consumption by up to 35 percent. LA Times reported industry leaders even called upon elected officials to guarantee them water if they make those large investments. “This is a political issue,� said J. Rodgers, then president of Cypress Semiconductor, San Jose. “We need assurances our water supply will never be in jeop-
ardy.� However, today investors are challenging industry leaders to invent ways to find alternative water sources, conserve and find new ways to cleanse and recycle water. As freshwater shortages become more acute, companies started looking for ways to use wastewater, which is a by-product of agricultural, industrial and municipal consumption. For example, when the Geysers’ Geothermal project north and east of San Francisco found its steam pressure (and corresponding electrical generation) dropping, it worked with the City of Santa Rosa and Lake County to build a 40-mile pipeline to inject 20 million gallons of waste water daily into the Geysers’ deep underground reservoirs. It has worked, and the 14 power plants at The Geysers now generate enough electricity to power a city the size of San Francisco. With our nation’s population expected to reach 392 million by 2050 (50 percent rise over 1990) sufficient freshwater supplies will become a more critical, if not an overriding issue, for all of us. Fortunately, we are blessed with a good base amount from which to work. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

DIgnIty AnD reSPect DurIng An electIon yeAr
By rivera sun
During election years, pent-up frustrations, simmering animosities, and the toxic legacy of countless hours of hate talk radio erupt from the seething volcano of the American public. Injustice left festering explodes into anger and hatred. Defensive arrogance and condescension drips down the pyramid of privilege. What should – and perhaps someday could – be a time of remarkable civic discourse, truth-telling, education, and public dialogue devolves into political shouting matches that leave millions of American citizens feeling bruised and abused, belligerently waiting for the next go-round of the elections to take vengeance on each other. I am a member of the last generation of American children who received civics education in our public schools. Budget constraints and curriculum cuts have stripped our youth of access to knowledge not just about the three branches of government, the constitution and the electoral process, but also about the broader context of democracy, historically and worldwide. In the void of education, we learn from observing the current political climate – a circus of extreme wealth, party politics, manipulations, fraud, deceit, personality candidates, disempowerment of citizens, corporate sponsorship, name-calling, shaming, personal attacks, and the endless stream of broken campaign promises. While this is, unfortunately, an accurate representation of how our dysfunctional political system currently operates, it also fails to articulate or embody the values of true democracy or of a democratic society. As a child in a rural Maine public school, I learned about the nuanced
discussions of democracy from the ancient Greeks through the founding fathers. I learned the shortcomings, foibles and follies of both the individual characters and the governing systems they produced. My memory of my civics courses evoke images of the white-clad suffragettes with sewn banners and African-Americans organizing nonviolent action that led toward civil rights and the Voting Rights Act. And, oddly, I have a persistent memory of a French woman in a cafe holding a lively discussion about politics and elections. Where did this come from? One afternoon, a civics teacher invoked this semi-mythic figure to stimulate the half-glazed expressions in the classrooms. Politics should not be vitriolic or boring, our teacher told us, we should enjoy political discussions and consider them an essential part of the culture of a democratic society. By lunch, most of my classmates went back to talking about soccer or pop songs, but the lesson stuck with me. This election cycle, as my fellow Americans froth at the mouth, I find this memory returning as I interact online and in person. Why is it so hard for us to have a passionate – not scornful or vituperative – conversation about politics? Has respectful discourse, like civics, fallen by the wayside of American education? Are we trained only in argument, attack, humiliation, screeching, vilifying, fear mongering, and other forms of verbal abuse? This is unfortunate and dangerous. Discourse is the foundation of democracy. Even within the context of a representative republic, the ability to have a respectful, engaged, and informed conversation about politics – in the post office, our homes, on the
media, with friends, family, or with total strangers – is essential for a society that prizes the ideals of liberty and freedom. If we are not free to converse without being verbally assaulted, insulted, and screamed at, what does that say about the content of our characters? Why should any of us believe that shaming another citizen for their political choices is an effective approach to building the kind of political engagements and civic interest that greases the wheel of functional political process? Is it really so hard to engage in the practices of being curious about our differences, asking questions, listening, and responding in a sane and civil manner? We can do better than the obnoxious and insulting manners we are currently displaying during this election cycle. These behaviors are beneath the dignity of a nation that claims to be a democracy and professes to have operated as one for 240 years. If there is one political action every American should take between now and November, it is to lift our heads with greater dignity and treat our fellow Americans with respect. Regardless of others, our own self-respect should demand such action. We can engage in functional civic dialogue. There is no need to wait for the “leadership� of politicians, parties, pundits or press. In our own lives and interactions, we can discuss politics in a way that uplifts the dignity of all.

BE WELL: FROM SICKNESS TO HEALTH
TEN-WEEK PROGRAM TO HELP EASE STRESS, BUILD HEALTH By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com
Tacoma residents looking to lower stress and develop healthy habits are invited to attend “From Sickness to Health,� a ten-week program hosted by Tacoma Central Church. The program begins on Aug. 24-28 with a four-day introduction to healthy activities. Citizens are invited from 7- 8 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday for free nightly samples at Tacoma Community College. After this, the group will meet once a week to introduce new habits into their daily routine and give updates to how they are doing. “The first four days we’re putting on a seminar about healthy living, different things you can do, natural remedies, things you can eat to make yourself feel better,� organizer Nelson Miles said. “We go over things like how much water you should be drinking a day, which is important for weight loss – a holistic approach to changing your lifestyle for more healthy living. On the fifth day, we’re presenting a full course meal for free.� The 10-week challenge is designed to slowly integrate changes introduced in the four-day seminar, and is still completely free for citizens. “We’ll take that 10-week approach and each week introduce something like ‘drink three liters of water a day,’ then you talk about it the next week, or ‘let’s start walking 10,000 steps a day, or 5,000 steps a day.’ We’ll try and get people to incorporate exercises and healthy living into their lifestyle. We believe in it and we want to share it with others,� Miles said. A big focus for the event is not only healthy eat-

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community
PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER
Federal, regional, state and local leaders gathered with the Puyallup Tribal Council last spring to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Joining in on the event were (back row from left): Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon.
The most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians continues to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care of not only its own membership, but sharing its wealth
among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,100 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities – approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native – employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits.
In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. From sponsoring local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise
suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as “the generous people,” the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.” In the following pages, you’ll read more about what a valuable community partner the Puyallup Tribe of Indians is to the region and the state.
TRIBE HONORS ALL VETERANS WITH MEMORIAL WALL Under a beautiful sunny sky on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2015, the Puyallup Tribe held the formal dedication ceremony for its new Veterans Memorial Wall. Gathering outside of Takopid Health Center with men and women in dress uniforms representing many branches of military service, tribal members mixed with friends and family, visitors and honored guests for this important occasion. A number of honored guests were present for the dedication, including U.S. Senator Patty Murray; U.S. Representative Denny Heck; Jim Baumgart, policy advisor on behalf of Washington State Governor Jay Inslee; and Steven J. Gill, tribal liaison and administrator for the Veterans Services Division of the Washington State Dept. of Veterans Affairs. “Every time I come here I always see something new and exciting happening in your community,” Murray said. “Many people may not realize that nationwide, Native Americans have one of the highest representations in the military, so the memorial is well deserved to say the least and it’s wonderful to see one that so beautifully reflects the Tribe’s connection to our natural environment.” The memorial features benches to sit on, new landscaping to admire including young evergreen trees and eight bronze medallions, 36-inches in diameter and representing the eight branches of service: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, National Guard and Air National Guard. Six flag poles line the outer rim of the memorial to fly the American flag, Puyallup Tribe of Indians flag, Canadian flag, Washington State flag, Tribal
Six flags were raised for the first time on the day of the dedication ceremony.
Veterans flag and the POW/MIA flag. Puyallup Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud gave the opening remarks before inviting the rest of the Tribal Council up to the podium. “Today, here, we have a place of peace – a place to think of our veterans in a good way, a place of honor for a special group of men and women, a place to give special recognition for without our veterans and their sacrifices, what would our world be?“ he said. “I’m honored and humbled to be a part of this Veterans Day celebration and the dedication of this amazing Veterans Memorial Wall.”
Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove described the memorial as “a sacred circle filled with a lot of blood, sweat and tears that was constructed with love, with gratitude and most of all with honor.” “When you come, we invite you – our veterans invite you – to come within this circle and pray, recognize and most of all honor all of our veterans, all of our ancestors, for the fight that they have gone through to get us to where we are today,” she said. “Please, whenever you come don’t just pass by – enter and remember those that fight for our freedom, Native and non-Native alike.”
STEWARDS OF THE LAND AND WATERS Puyallup Tribe dedicates resources to protecting steelhead Caring for the environment and all living creatures has always been a way of life for the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Going back untold centuries before the first settlers arrived and up to the present day, the Tribe has never faltered in being caretakers of the natural world, and this is shown admirably in the Tribe’s efforts to protect our waterways and the varieties of fish that live there. Most recently, one of the Tribe’s two fisheries has taken proactive measures to save a disappearing run of wild steelhead by installing an acclimation pond on the White River, one of six acclimation ponds installed and operated by the Tribe’s Fisheries Department. With wild steelhead stocks thorughouth the Northwest showing less than stellar survival, this new and different approach will hopefully improve return rates of wild steelhead. The acclimation pond was added in 2016 and is the only one dedicated to bringing steelhead out of the hatchery and into the wild in order to boost their numbers and bring more adults back. “Twenty years ago, we had strong numbers with upward of 2,000 adults returning to the White River alone,” said the Tribe’s Resource Protection Manager Russ Ladley, “and now their numbers have averaged around 300 over
When filled with water, this acclimation pond can hold between 25,000 and 50,000 juvenile steelhead and should produce between 200-300 adults.
the past decade. That’s when we decided we’ve got to do something.” One of the proven methods of improving survival is to take fish away from a totally artificial environment and put them in a more natural environment during the early
imprinting stage of their rearing. This is what an acclimation pond achieves, and in this case the new acclimation pond moves juvenile steelhead up to the headwaters in a more natural water temperature regime. This removes the young fish from the water provided from ground water wells at the hatchery and places them in a “real world environment,” as fish behavior is greatly influenced by water temperature. “In this case, we typically move the fish in January or February and rear them in those ponds for about four to five months and then cut them loose,” Ladley said. “They’re allowed to volitionally move out so you basically open up a screen where they can move out into the creeks which then go to the mainstem White River and then into the Puyallup on their way to Commencemnt Bay.” The pond can hold between 25,000 and 50,000 juvenile steelhead and should produce between 200-300 adults back to this operation. It will take three years to determine returning numbers. As Ladley explained it, “You get the water’s natural chemistry going to the fish, the fish imprint on that as their home and two to three years from now will hopefully head back there to spawn.”

“No country would accept us, and it was impossible for my parents to get a visa,” Haas said. “My father heard of a ship leaving France for Shanghai. He had been a furrier in Berlin, and he smuggled furs out in the bedding we were allowed to take with us, and with that he was able to buy tickets on the ship. In July of 1939 we sailed off for Shanghai,” The trip saved their lives – Haas’ maternal grandparents later died en route to Auschwitz. They had stayed in Germany, in part, because his grandfather had been a German hero in World War I, winning the Iron Cross. As for Haas and his parents, Gerda and John, they spent the next eight years in a Shanghai ghetto, living in a 10 x 12-foot room without plumbing, cooking space or heat. “It turned out we were in a district about one mile square, 18,000 Jews in an area that had been bombed out in the ChineseJapanese war,” Haas said. By the time he was eight years old, Haas had never seen the dawning of a day his parents didn’t have to fight to keep their family together and safe.
His father played drums in nightclubs, and during the day rode a stationary bicycle to create electricity for a power company. Today, Haas is 78 and has been an attorney in Tacoma for 54 years, far from the ghetto that was Shanghai. After surviving Germany, then Shanghai, the Haas family sailed in March of 1947 for San Francisco and a new life in America aboard a converted troop ship. Haas spent nights aboard in a hammock. “When we arrived in San Francisco, we spoke mostly German. Refugee aid organizations would put you up for four or five days in a hotel. My mother had some family in New York, but we were told if we went to New York, we'd be on our own,” Haas said. “If we chose one of three Western cities – Phoenix, Portland or Seattle – we'd get help finding work and some place to live. My father didn't know anything about any of the cities, but heard Portland had trees.” Portland it was. His father sold dry goods and Haas, stunned by a one-bedroom apartment, asked his mother what family was going to live there with them. “This is all ours,” she told him. John Haas was a restless storekeeper and a few years after arriving in Portland, the family moved to Centralia and an open-
air store that sold boots and hats. That shop lasted five years, long enough for Haas to attend Centralia High School. “One day my father asked me to drive to Tacoma with him, which was a major trip in those days. We came up and looked at a little store downtown at 13th and Broadway,” Haas said. “He bought it and began selling groceries that had been damaged while being shipped by train – dented cans, things like that. He called it ‘The Discount Mart,’ and later added Army surplus and Korean-made furniture.” Haas worked that store with loyalty to his family, but little enthusiasm. “It got me through law school,” Haas said. “The one thing I knew was I didn’t want to work at that store anymore.” Haas’ college years looked a bit like his first years in Europe. He attended Pacific Lutheran University, University of Puget Sound and then the University of Washington law school. “When I decided to go to law school, I’d never even spoken to an attorney,” Haas said, laughing. “Years later, I joined a law firm – McGavick Graves – that was at 11th and Broadway, two blocks from where the Discount Mart had been.” While Haas labored in school,

his father did him one life-altering favor. John Haas had met a young woman visiting the Northwest from England, and thought she and his son would get along. So he introduced Henry to Kay. A wedding followed, along with 53 years or marriage and four children. “My father died in 1993 and my mother passed a few years ago at 97,” Haas said. “I consider myself a very fortunate person. We survived. We made the best of what we had,” Haas said. “At 78, I've found you think more about your life, and all that history is still with me. We were on the run with nowhere to go. In that setting, we survived. “I look back at everything my father and mother had to do, and am amazed that they could do it. “When we were in Shanghai, the Germans asked the Japanese to exterminate all the Jews. The Japanese declined, and simply kept us all in one district of Shanghai. I guess we should be grateful for that.”

“(The EQC) is our bread maker, has been our bread maker for some time, and it’s going to be part of our lives forever, for our children,” Puyallup Tribal Council member Sylvia Miller said. The event drew a crowd of tribal members and other onlookers to watch the council break ground on the site of the upcoming garage. “This is a great, great day. We’re blessed with beautiful weather to come together and celebrate this beautiful event. It’s going to be awesome, it’s going to reflect who we are as a people and we are very excited about that,” Councilmember Tim Reynon said.

The middle school boundary shifts will also address the changing growth patterns in the district, which is seeing increases in the west and southwest neighborhoods in the district as well as growing student enrollment numbers in the east and southeast areas of the district. Changes in the middle school service boundaries won’t change the enrollment boundaries for the district’s high schools. The district closed Hunt Middle School in 2010 because of poor academic performance and low enrollment and shifted the students to higher-performing middle schools
– Truman, Gray and Mason – as part of a federal grant program to improve student achievement. Efforts to reopen Hunt started in 2013, after Tacoma voters approved a $500 million bond issue that included construction funding to build a new Hunt Middle School on the same site at 6501 S. 10th St. The current Hunt buildings are being used by Stewart students until 2017, when the new school there opens. Grant Elementary School students will then move in while their school gets renovated. The most recent bond to pass voters before that vote dates back to 2001, as efforts in 2006 and 2009 failed to sway voters. The new Hunt will have about 450 students and reopen in 2021.The new two-story middle school will be development on the 26-acre site,
with the existing school remaining operational during the construction of the new school. The building concept utilizes a central north – south concourse that will join the public and elective spaces with “educational clusters” on the east. The classroom clusters are grouped into grade levels, creating a communal learning complex focused on shared support functions and outdoor learning space. Conceptually the project incorporates a tartan weave pattern derived from the school’s Highlander mascot. Parents who want to nominate themselves for service on the committee can call the Public Information Office at (253) 571-1015 to provide their name, middle school and contact information before the Aug. 26 application deadline.

Local Restaurants PUGET SOUND PIZZA NEW OWNERS BRING FRESH IDEAS TO POPULAR PIZZERIA By Erica Cooley Special to Tacoma Weekly
O
n the first of July, one of Tacoma’s most frequented pizza joints, Puget Sound Pizza, was purchased by Cory Cannell. A brand new owner means some seriously exciting changes for this local pizzeria and hangout, including a total facelift for the pizza joint. Cannell states on the changes to come, “We are going to do a remodel and give it a facelift with a new awning, floors, counters, benches, paint and a bit more. We also are putting in a new oven right away, which makes the kitchen able to put out food in about half the time of the old one with still having the same great taste.” Now patrons can come hungry to enjoy some favorite classics
with a much shorter wait time than before – such as one of PSP’s Super Special Pies like the Hipster, an all-handrolled crust with grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, feta, minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. This new and improved oven means that hungry diners can indulge in the waves of Canadian bacon spiked with enough pineapple for a luau with less waiting and more time to get in your favorite song at PSP’s karaoke.
Tacoma pizza lovers can look forward to all the same delicious food from PSP just in a newly enhanced environment under the new ownership. Don’t forget about the refreshing beverages served at PSP too. Come beat the summer heat with PSP’s new specialty drink, the “Truly Refresher” – a delicious concoction of muddled lime, orange and basil with Pearl Cucumber Vodka, then topped with Truly Lime Spiked and
Sparkling. In addition to the remodel of Tacoma’s PSP, Cannell plans to open another location of the pizzeria in Puyallup. “We are shooting to have a second [location] open by this time next year at the latest in Puyallup. Once all the remodeling is done here at the current location, we are going to get more serious about starting the process of getting a second one going,” Cannell said. This exciting news of an additional location to come for Puget Sound Pizza means growth of the business to share delicious food, from pastas to special pies to salads and sandwiches and always a good time with more communities across the Pacific Northwest. Stay up to date with all events, specials and news on location openings by following Puget Sound Pizza on Facebook.

obody wants to sound like a broken record, but it’s not the worst thing on earth to be when you’re talking about a winner. In the case of baseball around the Puget Sound, this broken record can keep on skipping until the snow flies. Let’s just say that any baseball fan worth their salt around these parts has got to be a little dizzy from all the winning going on by our ball clubs. First and foremost, right here in our backyard of Tacoma we are currently in the midst of a bit of a dream run by the Rainiers. Since opening day on April 7, Tacoma has been residing on top of the Pacific Coast League Pacific Northern division standings. As of press time here at the Tacoma Weekly, this stretch of first-place baseball has now reached a miraculous 124 consecutive games. This isn’t some sort of typo. Despite a few expected lulls that occur over the course of any long baseball season, the Rainiers have weathered each dip, and somehow kept their claws dug into the division lead with a record of 71-52. The big club up the freeway is also in the midst of a competitive and exciting season. After suffering through 15 seasons of misery, it appears that the Seattle Mariners have fielded a team that is a legitimate contender to make the postseason, whether that be with an American West title, or by sneaking in as a wild card. Whatever the case, the local fan base has become electrified and for the first time in what seems like forever, the Mariners have imbued a sense of real hope into the hearts and minds of the Seattle faithful. At 63-55, the Mariners sit just 6.5 games behind a Texas Rangers team that seems just as prone to snatch lategame victories from the jaws of defeat as Seattle has become known for. On the wild card side of the race, Seattle sits just three games behind Baltimore and Boston for a shot at the postseason. Since the festival weekend that was Ken Griffey Jr. weekend at Safeco Field starting Aug. 5, the Mariners
visit on the weekend of Aug. 5 and the area is still buzzing. Not only did the Mariners retire Griffey's number 24, but that weekend has seemed to supercharge Seattle. The team has gone 9-2 since Griffey's weekend at Safeco. (bottom) Richland native Shawn O'Malley cranks this three-run blast into the seats, as the Mariners come from behind to knock off the Angels 8-6 on Griffey's big night.
GRIFFEY AND ICHIRO OWN THE NEWS CYCLE By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com
have now gone 9-2 and are one of the hottest teams in the Major Leagues at the moment. One of the hottest players in all baseball right now is Seattle’s new closer Edwin Diaz. The fireball hurler has made a huge splash with the Mariners, and he has accomplished this all without spending a single inning of work at Triple-A Tacoma. Instead of working his way up from Double-A Jackson to the Rainiers, before being thrown to the Major League wolves, the Mariners apparently liked what they were seeing and brought him straight up from Jackson. In 33 innings of work, Diaz has rolled up seven saves in as many opportunities, and has struck out an astonishing 60 batters along the way. Had the kid come up earlier in the season, there’s a solid chance that he would be in the conversation for MLB Rookie of the Year. Oh, by the way, that team down in Jackson, TN is a juggernaut this season. The Generals (76-43) won the
first half title of the Southern League Northern division, and currently reside in first place in the second half standings by 2.5 games. If Jackson wins the second half crown, they’ll get a bye through the first round of the DoubleA playoffs. So we’ve got a Double-A farm team of the Seattle Mariners that is playing ball like a world beater, and a Triple-A team that may very well go coast-to-coast in first place. Meanwhile, baseball pundits still consider the Mariner farm system to be thin and shallow with prospects. You may ask yourself just how it is that this lack of so-called talent keeps on winning ball games at a championship pace. It’s a pretty good head-scratcher, I’ll admit. Perhaps we’ve got more talent stashed away than these overpaid experts are willing to admit to. If you were planning on getting out to Cheney Stadium this season, time is running out for you. There are now

As time passes by, there are some sports memories that remain seared into one’s brain, never to be altered or magnified, even if it makes for a better story. Then there are the sports memories that have gotten a little hazy over the years, but enough still resides in the old noggin to justify it becoming “one of those tales” over the years. When it comes to Ken Griffey Jr. I have one of those hazy sort of memories that I’m quite sure is absolutely true, other than the fact that I can’t really add it all up any longer, even with the help of the Internet. It was July, 1993 when it was all going down. Griffey began his eight consecutive games home run streak on July 20 in Yankee Stadium. The third game of the streak saw the Mariners travel to Cleveland to face the Indians for a four-game tilt. After hitting home runs in six straight ballgames, Griffey and the Mariners would then return home to the cozy confines of the Kingdome. Here is where the memories begin to shortcircuit between my ears. In game one against the Minnesota Twins, Griffey launched a grand slam home run into the seats, and the Mariners held on for a 10-8 victory. The following night, the Mariners rolled future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson out onto the mound, and in traditional Seattle fashion, the hometown boys supplied Johnson with just one solitary run. It was a home run by Griffey, tying the Major League record, in a 5-1 loss in front of a remarkable 30,413 fans for a Wednesday night game. For over 20 years, I have been quite sure that I was there for the seventh home run game. The Mariners were wearing Seattle Steelheads throwback uniforms, they had a neat, old-time scoreboard over the left-center field wall, and the seats on the third base side were easily some of the best I ever had at the Kingdome. But you would think that I would remember Griffey blasting a grand slam in the third inning, to make it seven in a row. The fact of the matter is that I have been unable to find evidence of the Mariners wearing Steelheads uniforms on that seventh night, and that has put a serious crimp in what I thought was one of my best Seattle sports memories ever. I was only 20 at the time, so I know I wasn’t chugging King Beers. It’s basically been my shining u See the kid / page A13

TWELVE LUTES BUILD CHEMISTRY WITH SOUTH SOUND FC CLUB
For collegiate athletes, there is no such thing as an offseason. The Pacific Lutheran University women's soccer team proves that to be true with 12 Lutes playing for the South Sound FC Shock, an elite adult amateur team in the Northwest Premier League (NWPL). PLU student-athletes and coaches anticipate that year-round play together will benefit the team heading into the 2016 season. Lute student-athletes on the South Sound FC Shock include goalkeepers Natalie Robinson and Takara Mitsui along with field players Lauren Larson, Kelly White, Kaylie Rozell-Pidge, Machaela Graddy, Rachel Ross, Lena Moreno, Hailey Smoot, Jordan Haggerty, Katie Coronado, and Liz Griffith. “Playing in the offseason with other PLU teammates is extremely beneficial,” said Larson. “We not only have the opportunity to get game realistic touches on the ball, but we also get to spend more time on the field together. I believe that both of these factors will give us an upper hand during the (fall collegiate) season.” Larson made the most of her touches during the South Sound season, leading the team in scoring after putting the ball in the back of the net four times. Getting the chance to play with teammates year round allows the Lutes to learn the tendencies of one another. “We learn each other's playing styles even more than when in season,” Graddy said. “Plus, when our incoming players play with us, we work with each other and build chemistry in a longer period than the two to three weeks allocated for preseason.” Graddy had an outstanding 2015 for PLU. The two-sport athlete led the team in scoring with 10 goals, adding four assists and was responsible for 24 points on the season. “It's definitely more laid back,” said Graddy. “The coach knew that she was coaching a bunch of women who were using this team as an opportunity to keep up on touches on the ball. It was an opportunity to get better when it worked best with your schedule. If you couldn't make a game, you weren't kicked off the team, which is good for people who work or go on vacations.” The 12 Lutes were able to balance work obligations, vacations, and training, while preparing for the season and playing with South Sound FC. South Sound finished the season with a 6-1-5 overall record, and finishing second in the NWPL behind the Spokane Shadow FC, whom they split with in their two matchups against each other. “PLU soccer is extremely prepared for the upcoming season,” said Larson. “The recent spring season was a huge teller of the work rate of this team. As (Head Coach Seth Spidahl) would tell you, it was the best spring season in his years at PLU. Being able to roll over into South Sound during the summer our preparedness is that much more evident. We are all excited to compete for the conference title and a bid to the national tournament.” Pacific Lutheran opens its 2016 campaign on Sept. 1 in Texas against Hardin-Simmons University before beginning its home slate on Sept. 9 against Concordia University-Moorhead. – Christian Bond, Pacific Lutheran Sports.
PT. DEFIANCE UNVEILS NEW FIELD GUIDE AND INTERACTIVE GAME

pick up a free park Field Guide, explore the key attractions of Tacoma’s 760-acre park, and collect codes along the way to earn prizes. The 20-page Field Guide is filled with fun facts, multiple maps and a bit of history. You’ll also find a sampling of the plants and animals you may discover on your park adventure. There’s room to record your experience and an invitation to play That’s the Point (TTP). “We want visitors to get out and explore the park, especially areas they haven’t yet visited,” said Phedra Redifer, who supervises the park’s Visitors Center. “The field guide is a fun tool to help them do just that. It’s full of interesting information and includes a game where you can win great prizes as you explore.” Mary Krauszer, Point Defiance Park’s ranger, said she recently met a family at Dalco Passage Viewpoint on Five Mile Drive who were working through their Field Guides. Usually Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is their sole destination, they said. “We came all the way from Issaquah to do this, and it’s already taken us places we’d never been before in the park,’” Krauszer recalled one of them saying. The game’s experience is the main point, but the odds of winning are also high. Players can earn multiple prizes, such as free or discounted admission to Point Defiance Park attractions and events. Specific prizes include free entry into the Black Cat Fun Run, a TTP water bottle, a thyme seedling kit, and more. The monthly grand prize winner will receive an All Access Pass to many of Metro Parks Tacoma’s most popular events and facilities, valued at $450. To play the game, pick up a guide and venture into the park to look for specially marked TTP signs in each color-coded zone. Each sign features a personal story from a Point Defiance visitor sharing his or her special park memory. They include Michael Morency, who first visited Point Defiance after moving to Tacoma in 2015. “Traversing through the densely packed canopy of lush green trees, we couldn’t believe we were still in the city,” he wrote. Sarah Bennett’s words appear on another sign: “This park connects us to a time and place when beauty, strength and nature were intertwined. Whenever I walk here, I am reminded that they still are,” she said. Each TTP sign includes a special code associated with one of five TTP zones. To play, go to the TTP web page and enter zone codes. You will receive your prize via email. Contestants who submit all five codes will be eligible for a monthly drawing to win the grand prize allaccess pass. Free Point Defiance Park Field Guides are available at the Point Defiance Park Visitors Center and at the Point Defiance Marina shop. The Visitors Center is open through Monday, Sept. 5, Thursdays through Sundays, plus Labor Day, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The marina shop is open daily from 5 a.m. until 5 p.m.

t Rainiers just 12 regular season home games remaining for the Rainiers. If you are waiting for the postseason, there’s still more than enough baseball to be played to see Tacoma possibly slip out of first place. The Fresno Grizzlies (66-57) currently sit just five games behind

Tacoma, and will face the Rainiers in the second-tolast series of the season, starting on Monday, Aug. 29 at Cheney. To make matters even dicier is the fact that Fresno’s remaining opponents are not quite on the level with Tacoma’s remaining foes.

moment of Griffey, and as it’s turning out, I’ve obviously confused it with another trip to the Kingdome over the years, and this revelation has got me feeling older than ever. The Mariners have put together a series of video shorts titled “24” and you can find them on Seattle’s website for free. I encourage any and every baseball fan to sit back and take in this remarkable set of films. While I may have a fuzzy memory about Griffey hitting his seventh straight home run over 23 years ago, the “24” films quickly brought me back to a time when we were fortunate enough to have the best baseball player in the world doing his thing just 32 miles up the road from Tacoma. I laughed and I also found myself wiping tears away as the series took me back to a time when we had something pretty awesome going on up here. I’ll give them two thumbs way up. Did anyone else find it rather fitting that Ichiro Suzuki reached 3,000 Major League Baseball hits just one day after the Mariners retired Griffey’s number 24? We always seem to be the underdogs up here in our little corner of the United States, and of course, we couldn’t have a retirement, and then perhaps a month or two before or after, you have one of the team’s other legendary players reach such a significant milestone. So much for stretching out the news cycle, Seattle. I am awfully proud of the fact that Ichiro reached 3,000 hits and is pretty much a shoe-in for induction into the Hall of Fame, whenever he decides to finally hang up his spikes. When he arrived on our fair shores as a 27-year old rookie out of Japan, he wasted no time letting the rest of baseball know that there is a new hit king in the majors, and he would hold onto that mantle for the better part of the next 10 seasons. During that stretch of years, Ichiro would not only break the single-season hits record (262), but rang up at least 200 hits per
These final run of games for Tacoma already feel like a playoff run. Every game grows in importance, and with the club closing out the season with eight home games against the two teams that have a shot at catching them, this could go down as one of the most enjoyable and exciting years in recent Tacoma memory. Tacoma returns home
season. He batted .331 in these 10 seasons. While Ichiro is generally considered to be a lock for the Hall of Fame, a former teammate of his is seen as a bit of a longshot. His name is Edgar Martinez, and Major League Baseball has an award named after him that they dole out to the best designated hitter in baseball every year. Widely considered to be the greatest designated hitter in baseball history, Martinez has been marginalized by the baseball purists who refuse to acknowledge part of the sport that they deem to be untraditional. The hate and loathing for the designated hitter is strong in these folk. I, for one, think each and every one of those voters or writers should have their ballotcasting privileges revoked immediately. The designated hitter is a legitimate part of the game of baseball. It’s never going to go away. The fact that these professionals act as though it is a blemish on the holiness of baseball has become quite laughable now that we’re into 2016. Get over it people, and vote in the greatest designated hitter of them all. Edgar deserves it. On another side note, it does the heart good to see a kid from the state of Washington make it with the Mariners. While Shawn O’Malley may originate from the other side of the Cascades, he’s one of ours. The fact that he’s logged enough time in Tacoma to have some Rainier blood pumping through his veins makes him even more of a fan favorite. A sports radio talking head who shall go unnamed was recently spouting off about O’Malley, and how he’s okay, if you’re into a Willie Bloomquist kind of player. As is often the case, some of these radio personalities are cashing checks for throwing out nothing but hot air. During his time with the Mariners, Bloomquist was a legitimate fan favorite. He did the little things that added up into his being a valuable asset to the club and the fans paid attention. If O’Malley continues to get his chances, he’s got a serious shot at creating some new, lasting memories for Mariner fans. Perhaps some of us will even remember them correctly in 20 years.
on Saturday, Aug. 20 to begin a four-game series with the Las Vegas 51s (5866). While the 51s’ record may not strike fear in the
heart of Rainiers’ fans, the fact that Las Vegas has hit the Rainiers very hard this season should make for a nerve-wracking set of
games for local fans. For tickets and more information, visit tacomarainiers. com or stop by the Cheney Stadium box office.

heart brings classics and a couple of new tunes to auburn
CLASSIC TUNES. Heart – led by sisters Nancy and Ann Wilson – will play White River Amphitheatre on Aug. 26. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
C
heap Trick was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the spring. Joan Jett joined the club last year, and Northwest rock favorites Heart got their due back in 2013. Now all three are united and bringing classic tunes to the masses with their Rock Hall Three For All tour, which will take over Auburn's White River Amphitheatre on Aug. 26. Recently, we caught up with Heart vocalist Ann Wilson to talk about the tour; releasing new tunes and revisiting older album cuts on the new “Beautiful Broken” album; and the timeless greatness of Zeppelin and the Sonics. TACOMA WEEKLY: You're on the road with Joan Jett and Cheap Trick who I imagine you've crossed paths with over the years before this. Whose idea was it for the three of you to get together and do this tour? ANN WILSON: I think it was our booking agent's idea. We happen to have been playing with Joan quite a bit before now, this last year, and we've known Cheap Trick forever. We've played with them before, too. So it was a natural pairing, and I think people are really liking it. TW: Does it bring back memories? WILSON: Mostly, it's excellent to get to hear Cheap Trick every night because they're just so on it. Of course, Joan – she does what she does – and she's on it, too. It's just really great to see both those bands go out there and kick it every night. It's not all about memories. They figure in, but it's mostly about what can these bands do now. TW: What's it like on the road now versus in the '70s and '80s? WILSON: The '70s was really fun. The '80s was not so fun on the road just because the theatrical part of it was hard to live behind. We did some really great shows in that era and made a lot of friends; but I think touring in the '90s and touring now is the best, because we can kind of have things the way we want 'em, and people are diggin' it.

didn't know who we were. They didn't recognize any of the songs, but we kept on weaving them in, and bit by bit people liked them more and more. Then when the record came out and the radio hit it, people knew 'em and we could play 'em at our gigs. TW: Those songs are such classics now that it's hard to imagine people wouldn't immediately connect with them. WILSON: People were used to the 3 ½ minute song on the radio, and our songs are usually 4 ½ to 5 minutes. That was one thing that was testing people's patience back then. They didn't know who the heck we were, and here we were spooning them some “Crazy On You” thing with some chick just caterwauling away. It was all pretty new. TW: You have one of the more distinct and powerful voices in rock. Who were some of your role models as you were developing your voice and learning to perform. WILSON: My role models when we were making the record, in my early '20s, were mostly Rod Stewart, Elton John, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan. They were all men. But before then, as a teenager, I loved Aretha Franklin, and I loved Ann Peebles and some of the early R&B, female singers who were just great; and of course, Jackie Wilson and people like that who really tried a lot with their voices. When I was writing the melody for “Crazy On You,” I remember being all thrilled about Gino Vannelli. Some really unusual influences, I think, for a woman. TW: Was there a trial and error period when you tried on different styles before becoming the singer we know now? WILSON: When we were in clubs and learning how to be a band and honing our own thing, we were playing all those covers. So I prided myself on doing perfect reproductions of the songs; not taking a Jackie Wilson song and making an Ann Wilson song or an Elton song and making it an Ann song. Just totally reproducing perfectly those hits. That really taught me how to sing. Those different people were all my teachers. TW: Speaking of the cover days, even now you always have fun with Zeppelin. What is it about those songs?
WILSON: I think the lyrics are really great. They're deep, and they're poetic. They're kind of stoner lyrics in a way, some of 'em, but they're intelligent. That's the kind of stuff I really like singing. Plus, that's my range, and the band just seems to be able to do that type of riff rock really well. I think most people of my generation–and the one after and the one after–would say Led Zeppelin is one of their holy idols. (She chuckles.) So we always like to tip our hat to 'em. TW: Of special interest to us in Tacoma, on recent tours you've added “The Witch” to your repertoire. WILSON: Oh yeah, “The Witch.” Well, when I was a kid the Sonics had that hit, and it was a big hit in the Northwest. That's a great cover. It transcends time. I love doing that song. TW: You did the book with Charles Cross (“Kicking & Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul and Rock & Roll,” It Books, $11.52). I wonder if there are any stories that didn't make the cut – maybe you forgot 'em or they just didn't fit – that you wish you had gotten in there. WILSON: Some of the super gnarly ones aren't in there just because we wanted to not make it a sleazy book. We wanted to tell the overview story, the internal story and not just the stupid, crazy things we did in the '80s when we were under the influence. That wasn't the point, really, just to show how out of control we got. It was more to show our experience as people and as women in the rock industry. So we didn't include all of them, but some day, perhaps, they'll trickle out. Who knows?

FOUR
TW: You just dropped the new record, “Beautiful Broken.” How much of the new stuff are you including on your set list? WILSON: We're doing “Beautiful Broken” and “Two” right now. TW: That title track is rockin'. Tell me about that one and how you wound up working with James Hetfield (of Metallica). WILSON: We were working on it in the studio, and someone came up with the idea of getting a male voice in there to do a cameo appearance. They kept saying “somebody like James Hetfield.” Then someone said, “Why not James Hetfield?” So we sent him the track, and he loved it. TW: Several of the tracks are older songs you're taking another shot at. Why that approach? What is it about those seven that you wanted to revisit them and do them in a different way? WILSON: Some of those songs never really came to fruition way back when, for whatever reason. It's like having a do-over chance, which you don't get much in life. We took that chance, and some of the songs really did come a long way. It was fun. TW: “Dreamboat Annie” turned 40 in March. Is there added emphasis on that album this tour? WILSON: Well, we're doing “Magic Man” and “Crazy On You” which are both on that record. That's a good emphasis. That record had a few really good longterm songs and a bunch that didn't stand the test of time as well. TW: What do you remember most about making and touring on that record? WILSON: When we made that record, we were still playing in clubs up in Vancouver, BC. We were still doing all these covers of radio songs, which is what people wanted to hear back then from a club band. But we snuck “Crazy On You” in, and people sat there and kind of stared at us. “Whuuuuuuuut?” Then we went back and did a couple of Zeppelin songs and they were like, “Yeah! OK! That's what we want.” So the originals didn't really work that well because people didn't know us. They

VELOFEMMES BRINGS WOMEN AND BIKES TOGETHER
PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE VELOFEMMES
CRUISIN'. The women's cycling club VeloFemmes has been riding the streets of Tacoma since 2013. Learn more at velofemmes.wixsite.com/velofemmes. "Y -ATT +ITE mattkite@tacomaweekly.com
It all started in the spring of 2013, says Carina Liljengren, when a small, informal group of women wondered if there were other like-minded female riders out there looking to bike the mean streets of Tacoma together. “There must be more of us,� they proclaimed. “We saw a need for a safe and welcoming group in Tacoma that would encourage women to get on bikes,� Liljengren explains. “At our first event, we had about 20 people, and there was a palpable sense of enthusiasm.� Thus, Tacoma’s popular women’s cycling club, VeloFemmes, was born. These days, the group boasts a long mailing list and more than a thousand followers on Facebook. A typical ride might include anywhere from three to 50 riders, and anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome to turn out. VeloFemmes draws from a varied pool of riders, from newbies to grizzled veterans, from purely social riders to competitive racers. Membership is free and informal. As opposed to filling out a membership form or paying annual dues, members simply participate in the rides or events of their choosing. And each ride is insured now that VeloFemmes has joined the American League of Bicyclists. “You get to meet a great group of Tacoma-area women and ride bikes with them,� Cindy Schaarschmidt says. “How cool is that?�
During the summer, when the days are long and daylight is plentiful, the group meets every Monday morning for a ride at Point Defiance Park. For those closer to downtown, VeloFemmes also meets at Wright Park on the first and third Wednesday of every month. In addition to the regular rides, the group organizes special events like the annual Little Black Dress Ride, an easy ride that combines the fun of riding with the satisfaction of donating to a worthy cause. Last year, the group collected donations for Ladies First, “a school-based program dedicated to empowering young women.� On Saturday, Aug. 20, VeloFemmes and Ladies First will join forces at the second-annual Women+Girls Ride, an event open to “women and girls from the 253 community.� An easy ride, snacks and plenty of camaraderie await participants. Fancy yourself a competitive rider? Plenty of VeloFemmes members race at high speeds and over long distances. Although the club has yet to form a racing team, its members compete in everything from cyclocross to the Seattle to Portland (STP). That said, you don’t need to be in great shape or harbor any competitive ambitions to participate in a VeloFemmes ride, whether a weekly ride or a special event. The club’s primary goal remains the same: to encourage more women to ride bicycles. “The numbers still show that more men ride bikes,� explains Kristina Walker, “but anecdotally, we definitely see more women on the road, and we hear from women regularly that VeloFemmes was the reason they started bik-
ing or got back into biking.� That inspiration – to hit the road for the first time or after a long layoff – is what VeloFemmes hopes to impart to women riders all over Tacoma. “We mostly just want more women to experience the joy of riding a bicycle, be it for transportation or recreation, to race competitively or for socializing with friends,� Schaarschmidt says. “We also try to educate folks about bike safety, the rules of the road and riding in the rain. And we’d of course like to see more bike infrastructure in the Tacoma area so that streets become safer for cyclists.� If you’re a woman and reticent to get on a bike, consider what’s holding you back. Are you intimidated by all the men on the roads? Don’t feel the desire to compete? Haven’t been on a bike in decades? Don’t know the first thing about a bicycle? Women just like you get together every week. They’re called the VeloFemmes. “VeloFemmes is an inclusive group,� Walker insists. “We love all types of women on bikes, and we love new ideas. If you’re a woman who bikes and wants to see a particular type of ride or lead a group, let us know. If you’re a woman who wants to try biking, we’re here to support you. If you’re a woman who just wants to meet other women on bikes, join us!� Matt Kite is an avid hiker and masters runner in Tacoma. Check out “3 Minute Hikes,� his hiking channel on YouTube.

CARS & KARATE. (top) Hot Rods 4 Hearts is open to all types of cars, all it requires is a $15 registration fee that goes to the American Heart Association. (bottom) More than a car show, Hot Rods 4 Hearts features entertainment for the whole family, including a karate demonstration by Blackbelt USA karate. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com
In 2014, Scott Britz decided to put on a car show to benefit the American Heart Association to honor his father and nephew, both of whom passed away from heart disease several years ago. The modest show was a success, raising more than $1,800 for the organization. In 2015, he repeated the event and was able to raise upwards of $3,000 for the AHA and was able to show off over 100 cars with plenty of excess activity. Now, Hot Rods 4 Hearts is entering its third year with an Aug. 27 show at Griot’s Garage, 3333 S. 38th St., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Britz is hoping the event continues to grow. “Last year was phenomenal. We jumped from a 41 car show to 106, we had 51 people wander through the first year to last year we had somewhere between 800-900 people. I was blown away,� Britz said. What sets Hot Rods 4 Hearts apart is an emphasis on a whole day’s worth of activities. While looking at the cars is the main attraction, Britz organizes the event to be fun for the whole family with a variety of entertainment. Food vendors, face painters and entertainers are all a part of the fun. Britz wants to have families be able to enjoy a fun event without overspending. “My main objective this year is I want to try to keep it to where your common guy can go through and afford to bring the kids in and have a day of fun with the family without breaking the bank. We’re trying to keep everything price efficient and still make money for the Heart Association,� Britz. Hot Rods 4 Hearts will have two live bands this year, Aberlour and The Beloved Worm, to provide additional fun for the day. Funds will also be collected from the sale of merchandise, with all
proceeds going to the American Heart Association. T-shirts are $10 or two for $15, and new this year are $10 commemorative coins. Steph’s Pizza returns this year for families to enjoy a bite while they browse the cars. Also new this year will be a food drive for The Blessing, a food bank located in Fircrest. The emphasis on kids is something Britz prides himself on. Performers from Emerald Kingdom Parties will be hanging out throughout the show, portraying Disney princesses and superheroes. Combine this with the carnival like activities, and kids will be far from bored. Britz is pleased that this emphasis doesn’t take away from the main attraction. “We had a lot of people coming through and we didn’t have any complaints with kids touching cars. It was great,� he said. Admission to Hot Rods 4 Hearts is free, but events like raffles will give patrons a chance to donate to the organization. Registering a car for the event is $15, and trophies will be given out for categories like “best of show,� and there are no restrictions for what kind of car you can show off – if it has wheels, an engine and it’s your baby, you can enter. Britz is hoping for an even bigger show than last year, aiming for over 120 cars and $4,000 raised for the AHA. See Hot Rods for Hearts on Facebook.

“Six Characters in Search of an Author� Aug. 12 through Aug. 28, Fri. and Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 2 p.m. New Muses Theatre Company (performances at Dukesbay Theater, 508 6th Ave.)
How far would you go to tell your story? For a family of six, abandoned by their creator, the answer is found in Luigi Pirandello’s meta-theatrical treatise on reality, fiction and the process of storytelling. In the middle of rehearsal, the director and cast of a new play are dragged into the lives of six characters that arrive with a mysterious demand; they need someone to finish their story. As the unfinished story begins to take shape the cast and crew are left to wonder what is fiction, what is truth, and where the line between the two really lies. New Muses is pleased to present an exciting, immersive production of this theatrical landmark. Blurring the lines between performance and rehearsal, audience and performer, actor and character, “Six Characters In Search of an Author� is unlike anything you’ve seen from us before.

EN.DUB.MEXI, CHICANO RAP, AND TACOMA there until he was three years old. He then moved to Mexico, but eventually settled in Tacoma by the age of six. En.Dub. went to Lincoln High School. He linked up with a fellow Chicano artist named Lil Dreams and they formed Golden Brown Entertainment. Acosta now runs the label and he says, “We have about six artists: The New Vision, Mr. GMG, The Sicarios, Neno Brownz, and all of us are a big group and we also go by the name Golden Brown.� En.Dub.Mexi produces and mixes all of his own music. Chicano rap can sound like any other style of hip-hop, but is bilingual (Spanish and English) and is made by artists of Mexican descent. En.Dub.’s style is club oriented. He makes big party records that do well in a nightclub, dance environment. Topics include partying, women, chilling with friends, and a touch of street life. Acosta’s music goes from up-tempo, party records to a more emo, slowed down, sing-songy, melodic vibe when he makes songs about relationships. One thing that adds depth to Chicano rap is that they flow in Spanish and English. I wanted to know more about this dynamic. I asked Acosta how the song writing goes, how does he choose to rap in Spanish or English? He tells me, “The beat dictates what language I rap in. If what I sample has more of a Spanish sound, then that is when I will flow in Spanish. I produce for the artists on the label, so many times I will make a beat and tell the artists if they should spit in Spanish or English.� To listen to the best Chicano rap Tacoma has to offer, check out En.Dub. Mexi on YouTube and on Soundcloud.

Hip-hop has many sub-genres, including old-school, boom-bap, “conscious,� street, West Coast, trap, Southern, international and Chicano rap. Luckily, we live in Tacoma, and if we choose, we can venture out and experience some of these diverse music styles. I was able to sit down with En.Dub. Mexi (formerly known as Ese Cricket). En.Dub.’s real name is Manny Acosta, a 29-year-old M.C. who has been living in Tacoma for 25 years. I wanted to get some information on Chicano rap from our area’s biggest Chicano rap artist. Your next chance to catch En.Dub. Mexi is Saturday, Aug. 20 at the Unity Custom Car Show at Meridian Habitat Park, 14422 Meridian Ave. E., Puyallup, WA 98375, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the South Hill area. One cool thing I noticed about Chicano rap artists is that they get to perform at an array of unique venues, scenes and cities. There is definitely a sustainable Chicano rap scene in the western United States. I asked En.Dub. where Chicano rap has taken him, what cities had he been fortunate enough to tour in. He replied, “I’ve been to Denver, Salt Lake City, Idaho Falls, Moses Lake, Wenatchee and the Tri-Cities. I’ll be going to Texas soon.� This is an important lesson for up and coming hip-hop artists, as there are many lanes one can find or tap into to have a successful career. I have personally seen Acosta grinding on the Tacoma hip-hop scene since the early 2000s, and he has been able to tour lots of cities and states that many of his fel-

GUNS BLAZIN'. Guns N' Roses – featuring Duff McKagan on bass, Axl
Rose on lead vocals and Saul “Slashâ€? Hudson on lead guitars – played for about 2 ½ hours on Aug. 12 at Century Link Field. "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
Forget petty rock feuds, riots sparked by no-shows and especially those “Fat Axl� memes that have been floating around the Internet this year. The reunited Guns N’ Roses is no joke. Remembering the mostly fill-in Guns lineup that showed up at the Tacoma Dome in 2002, I was actually more excited to see hometown openers Alice in Chains as I arrived at Century Link Field on Friday, Aug. 12. But I was hooked as soon as I heard that frenzied intro to “It’s So Easy,� Guns’ opening salvo. That’s all it took to rip open a wormhole that took tens of thousands of fans back to the summer of 1988, a time when those guys were rock’s undisputed heavyweight champs. Mercurial front man Axl Rose was back in playing shape. In sharp contrast from those unflattering pics we’ve seen online, he looked reasonably fit for a man who’s lived as hard as he has and somehow survived into his mid50s. More importantly, though, he sounded great, his distinctive wail commanding attention during an early set that included fan favorites “Mr. Brownstone� and “Welcome to the Jungle.� From the band’s classic lineup, Rose was joined by Seattle boy Duff McKagan, among the coolest dudes in all of rockdom. The GNR bassist exuded subtle swagger until it was time to cut loose, injecting a bit of punk into the band’s set as he sang lead on a cover of the Misfits’ “Attitude.� And unable to be missed, thanks to towering video screens that bookended the stage, was the purple Prince glyph emblazoned on his bass, a touching tribute to one of several heroes we’ve lost this year. Then there was Saul Hudson, the man so many know and love as Slash. Adorned characteristically in a top hat, aviator glasses and messy curls, he reminded everyone why he’s considered Gen-X’s preeminent guitar hero. He delivered the first of many epic solos during “Double Talkin’ Jive� and a talk box-enhanced “Rocket Queen,� performances that were enough to wow other rockers in the house. “It never occurred to me what an incredible guitar player he is until tonight,� remarked singer-songwriter and ex-Screaming Trees drummer Mark Pickerel, who I’d briefly chatted up between sets.
The big three were supported by longtime keyboard player Dizzy Reed; drummer Frank Ferrer; rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, who bore a striking resemblance to missing strummer Izzy Stradlin; and hometown girl Melissa Reese, her hair dyed green and blue in support of the Seattle Seahawks. (Between that, jerseys worn by Alice’s Jerry Cantrell and Mike Inez, and the navy ball cap that occasionally appeared on McKagan’s head, it was a popular item.) Late set highlights included “Paradise City,� the song that made the band a household name, and surprise covers of material by Pink Floyd, The Who and Eric Clapton. Rose’s riff on “Layla� was an especially good mood setter for “November Rain.� And if you didn’t feel something after Slash’s cathartic, three-part solo from that song, chances are you didn’t have a pulse. The night’s biggest disappointment was that Guns didn’t play “My Michelle,� a song that could have easily been added in lieu of, say, “Catcher in the Rye.� It may not be Rose’s best lyrical work, but that filthy guitar riff puts it squarely in Guns’ top five. Maybe next time? Assuming everyone is still getting along two, three years from now? The Pink Slips – a band fronted by McKagan’s daughter Grace – opened the evening followed by Alice in Chains delivering a headline-worthy performance of their own. It was chock full of grunge-era classic – “Them Bones,� “We Die Young,� “Would?� – and equally compelling material from their band’s post-comeback albums, “Black Gives Way to Blue� and “The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.� “Check My Head� proved those guys still had it back in 2009, and “Stone,� with its infectious groove-metal riff, is criminally underrated. But if the tunes weren’t enough to hook you, singer-guitarist William DuVall engaged in some fairly effective pandering early on. “I believe the last time we played here, it was an NFC championship game,� he said, recalling how the Seahawks seemed to be on the verge of losing to the Green Bay Packers in 2015. “Then we played, and it was a miraculous turn around,� he joked. Hey, we can go with that. “Man in the Box� gets us pretty riled up, too.

For a family of six,
abandoned by their creator, the answer is found in Luigi Pirandello’s meta-theatrical treatise on reality, fiction and the process of storytelling. In the middle of rehearsal, the director and cast of a new play are dragged into the lives of six characters that arrive with a mysterious demand – they need someone to finish their story. As the unfinished story begins to take shape, the cast and crew are left to wonder what is fiction, what is truth, and where the line between the two really lies. New Muses Theater Company is pleased to present an exciting, immersive production of this theatrical landmark. Blurring the lines between performance and rehearsal, audience and performer, actor and character, this play is unlike anything you’ve seen from us before. Plays through Aug. 28. Price: $10.

ARIES (MAR. 21 – APR. 19) Remember, decisions have consequences, so choose wisely. You may find that the things that have been holding you back may be letting go. A new love could be introducing itself, sometime mid-week. TAURUS (APR. 20 - MAY 20) This week, if you get the chance to show off gifts, talents or skills, do it! Your love life should be good and steamy, so be ready for that. You may have a little breathing room where money is concerned. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN. 20) An annoying home and family situation will be coming to a head this week. Face the conflict and get to the root of the problem. Choose change, over the status quo, and your patience will be greatly rewarded. CANCER (JUN. 21 – JUL. 22) While you are busy with life’s little administrative tasks, make sure your communications are clear and understood. Do your homework before making any choices or decisions this week. Progress will be made after many weeks of delays. LEO (JUL. 23 – AUG. 22) This week’s full moon tells you it is time to look for ways to cut back and save a little money. You need to resist the urge to splurge! It’s a really good time for you to get creative. Get your art on. VIRGO (AUG. 23 – SEP. 22) The full moon on the 18th gives you all the energy you’ll need to complete a bunch of the small projects that have been sitting on the shelf.
Finishing each task will put a smile on your face. LIBRA (SEP. 23 – OCT. 22) With the full moon this week, keep things low key. Get your day-to-day business out of the way, then go play if you have the energy. Remember that self-care is not selfish. You must recharge your own batteries. SCORPIO (OCT. 23 – NOV. 21) Do not be afraid to delegate. A lot of things and people will want your attention this week. The full moon tells you to trust your intuition. Be bold no matter what anyone else thinks.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 – DEC. 21) The full moon will bring a lot of social interaction this week. Get out and explore your own neck of the woods. Find a new local pub. Hit up a local festival or farmers market. Go find a yard sale. New friends are waiting. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 – JAN. 19) With the full moon on the 18th, many of your mundane concerns will clear up. You’ve already paid that bill you were worried about. Save that found money for a rainy day. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 – FEB. 18) It’s a good time to look at investing, but do your homework. Expect your social life to be very active this week. The full moon gives you plenty of energy to get everything done. PISCES (FEB. 19 – MAR. 20) There are plenty of opportunities for romance, socializing and fun for you this week.

Featured Pet Cleo’s story is one of transformation. She was surrendered to the shelter with many fleas and scabbing, and was going to need a little extra TLC. Our Purr Time volunteers surrounded her, and in the time since she’s been here, Cleo’s coat has become lush and beautiful. Her shy temperament also melts with those who have come to know her best — she has been described as a “sweet little lap cat who gives kisses.� Due to Cleo’s length of stay, her adoption fee has been waived. So for those with a quiet home, please consider our 7-years-young little miss. Remember, adopt a friend, save a life. #A507954 Like us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/TacomaHumane/
