mylah Perry was a model citizen throughout Tacoma Housing Authority’s ribbon cutting ceremony at Bay Terrace, its newest development, on Monday, Aug. 18. Amylah, 4, listened to the dignitaries, did not spill a single crumb on her pink and white dress and matching hat. She did not fret in the heat and, just after noon, she marched to the podium with her Head Start classmates and raised a banner. “Welcome Home!” it read, and those kids meant it. Their families have moved into apartments in the mix of 70 units in town homes, cottages or the four-story “mid-rise” on Yakima Avenue between South 27th and 25th streets. Their new school – their Head Start classroom – is nestled in the 6,925-square-foot community center. They dare challenge the ropes on the cool new play structure in one of several playgrounds and community gardens that give the high-density redevelopment an open feeling. Midway through the program, Amylah’s mom, Aashia Gardner, told the crowd of 200 what that means to her Amylah and Decarlos Perry, 2. Instead of doubling up in relatives’ or friends’ places, they have a home of their own, with rooms of

This month, Metropolitan Development Council (MDC) re-dedicated the renovated brick building as the Randall Townsend Apartments. By fall, MDC will welcome the first 35 people who will have the opportunity, and the resources, to rebuild their lives there. The work at the Randall Townsend Apartments will be based on a model that has proven to help heal people bedeviled by disabilities, mental illness and addictions – and to save taxpayer dollars. Called Housing First, it starts with getting chronically homeless people off the streets and settled into a secure, and very modest, home. Then it makes available all the resources they need to work toward health and recovery. Strategies like it have helped reduce the number of people living in streets and shelters by 60 percent over the past 10 years. That has saved taxpayers millions.

Business Seminar A4

Battle at the Boat 97 A10

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) We attract into our world what is reflected inside of ourselves. What is your powerfully magnetic personality attracting to you? Reflect on this and focus on positive ways to change negative thoughts, habits and feelings. With time it will come with ease.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Our brains can only focus on one thing at a time. What we choose to focus on becomes who we are. Choose your focus wisely in order to be who you truly want to be. We attract what we put out into the universe. So who and what are you attracting to you?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Life is full of significant inspirations. Recognize and seize all possibilities, making them your reality. If we can’t see, feel and believe in what we want in life, then it will never happen. Imagine that you already possess all the tools needed for success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) It is a proven fact that history repeats itself. Our wrong choices will continue until we make necessary changes in our personal attitudes and break negative cycles. Once we can accomplish this, our life lessons begin to unfold, allowing us to learn from our past.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Everything in the Universe is ultimately connected. Each step we take leads to the next, propelling us into our personal growth patterns. How are you connecting with those around you? Are you on the path that you want to be on? It’s yours to command.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) What we resist will persist. It’s annoying, yet true. What we refuse to accept in our lives will continue until we get it right. Accept your lessons, letting go of the past. Free yourself of old patterns that no longer serve you. Give back to the world with love.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) We mirror what surrounds us, and what surrounds us mirrors us. Whenever there is something wrong in our lives, there is something wrong within us. Taking full responsibility for our actions in a fair and loving manner can be very empowering and uplifting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) If you believe in something as being the truth, then you may be called upon to voice that truth. There is much power in your convictions. Standing up for truth may not be easy, but you have the willingness to do so by demonstrating it in your life. Keep it up.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Wherever you go, that is where you are. You arrived there for a reason. The only way for us to grow is to change. Start by letting go of the past – outdated thoughts, unhealthy habits and emotional wounds. Avoid those that act as emotional “vampires.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Karma begins and ends with love. The ultimate goal of karma is to bring us to a divine state of love, joy and awareness. We inspire each other through loving and significant contributions. Examine what you have been currently contributing to karma.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) All rewards in life require an amount of work. Patience is required to accomplish this work. When we are on the path we are supposed to be on, patience has its own reward. All things are possible when we work hard and believe in who we are and what we do.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Living in the “now” may be a hard concept for you. Thoughts of the past and obsessively planning for the future may have you distracted. Enjoy today, for what it is, as it leads to tomorrow. Focus on your “now,” which will give shape to your limitless future.

TW: What are your general feelings about what is happening in Ferguson right now? Dexter Gordon: A sense of just distress, as a parent and as the father of a young black man who has gotten the call that the police have pulled over your son. It’s a frightful call given the American experience. That’s my reaction. I know the feeling. I carry the sense of concern if not fear somewhere in the back of my mind. Each time I hear that another young black man has been killed by the police, it heightens that fear.

The situation in Ferguson, Mo., is a reminder that race is still a hotbutton issue in our society. With this in mind, the Tacoma Weekly sat down with University of Puget Sound GORDON Professor Dexter Gordon (Communication Studies and African American Studies, Director of African American Studies Program) to get his thoughts on Ferguson as well as modern day racism in schools. Gordon and the many community members who work with him have helped raise local awareness about issues of race and education at a critical time. Fifty years ago Tacoma was a hotbed of civil rights action. Today, in the crunch of hard economic times and political partisanship, some of those same issues of justice are arising again. Concerned parents and educators like Gordon want to see these addressed. Dexter is a public speaker, author on black identity and was a member of Tacoma Public Schools’ advisory council on the achievement gap. Through his work and that of others, dozens of local parents, teachers, civic officials and more have been inspired to take action over the past 12 years as community partners of the university’s Race & Pedagogy Initiative, holding summits for youth, parents, educators, scholars, and concerned members of the public. Gordon is helping put together a Race and Pedagogy Conference on Sept. 25-27 featuring speakers Angela Davis, Henry Louis Gates, Winona LaDuke and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK VISIT US ON FACEBOOK MHJLIVVR JVT [HJVTH^LLRS`

90th and Park Street Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

AIRMEN HOLD LABOR DAY FAIR

By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

For many people, Labor Day is a day off of work. For the Buffalo Soldiers Museum and The Tuskegee Airmen of Seattle it’s an opportunity to honor those in the armed forces. That’s why the two organizations are combining forces to produce a Labor Day Fair at Stanley Playfield on Sept. 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. “It’s about honoring the past and embracing the future,� Buffalo Soldiers Museum Executive Director Jackie Jones said. A full program is planned that includes Joint Base Lewis-McChord playing a “home run derby� softball game. The “Red Tails Special� Air Force will take on the “Cannon Balls� Army in a classic grudge match that will be fun for the entire family to watch. All entertainment at that festival will be free; all Jones asks is to keep soldiers in your thoughts. “This festival is about preserving history and honoring those who have served in the past. Our country has always been a country of labor and certainly these men and all service men serve our country and protect our country.� Jones said. After the softball game, visitors will be able to wander around with vendors offering food, crafts and entertainment, all while remembering and honoring those who don’t get to take a day off. “This is a way to pay tribute to those who serve this country who

give so selflessly of themselves for their country. Many years about many thousands died. This is a way to say thanks to those who have served and a way to appreciate current service men. That’s why we selected Joint Base Lewis McChord,� Jones said.

The Le Diner en Blanc website explains the raison d’etre for the event: “[It] recalls the elegance and glamour of court society, and diners engage one another knowing they are taking part in a truly magical event.� “It’s exciting to challenge Tacomans to indulge in something new and different. It’s a city that loves great food and feasts for the senses, and we really want to celebrate the people of Tacoma and the downtown core,� says one of the organizers. “In other cities, they go all out and over the top.

Since 1910, the Municipal Barn has housed city operations, including street maintenance. Originally constructed to house wagons, horses and various carpentry shops, the barn is an artifact from a time before automobiles dominated Tacoma’s streets and the majority of street cleaning was done with handheld brooms. The Municipal Barn sits among a cluster of historic industrial buildings in the Brewery District. Along with several adjacent, city-owned buildings, the Barn is currently on the market, part of a competitive RFP process. Register listing will require that a new owner use preservation standards in any adaptive re-use of the building, and submit proposed designs to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for review and approval.

POLICE HUNT FOR DANGEROUS CAR THIEF By David Rose :DVKLQWRQ¡V 0RVW :DQWHG 4 )2;

Anybody who has ever had a vehicle stolen knows the sinking feeling you get when you walk outside and your car is gone. DAVID ROSE First comes shock, then anger. Nicholas Broughton has left victims feeling that way from Tacoma to University

Place and Auburn to West Seattle, according to the Major Crimes Task Force. He’s listed as a violent offender and has a $50,000 felony warrant for stolen vehicles and identity theft. What’s even more concerning is that detectives say he was seen recently with a handgun and was extremely paranoid and high on meth. That’s a dangerous combination, and police want to get him into custody before someone gets

TEACHER PLEADS GUILTY TO SEX WITH STUDENT Michael Allen, 33, pleaded guilty Aug. 21 to sexual misconduct with a minor in the first degree, and violation of a nocontact order. Allen, a University Place biology teacher, had sex multiple times with his 17-year-old student. After he was arrested and charged, Allen continued to communicate with the victim, ignoring the court’s no-contact order. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 2 at 1:30 p.m. in room 260 of the County-City Building in Tacoma. “Our schools should be safe havens,� said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “This teacher abused the trust of his position and is being held accountable.� In January 2014 Allen and the victim, who was his teacher’s aide, began exchanging phone calls and text messages. On Jan. 17, school administrators learned the two were spending time together, and they placed Allen on administrative leave. He was told not to contact the victim. During an internal investigation, administrators reviewed the victim’s phone records and found thousands of messages she exchanged with Allen, including after Allen was placed on leave. School administrators contacted the University Place Police Department on Feb. 11 to report the relationship. The victim told detectives she had sex with Allen three times after he was placed on administrative leave. Allen was arrested and charged, and the court imposed an order prohibiting Allen from contacting the victim. Allen posted $25,000 bail and was released. On Feb. 24, the victim told detectives that Allen had contacted her on Twitter and gave her a pre-paid cell phone so they could continue to talk. Allen was charged with violating the court’s order, and a new bail was set in the amount of $125,000. He has been held in custody since March 20.

All calls are anonymous and there is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest. Broughton is one of the fugitives being featured this Friday night on Washington’s Most Wanted at 9:30 p.m. on JOE TV and a new time slot of 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.

Three men charged for murder at Tacoma motel Marcus Boykin, 30, and Aron Skaro, 32, were arraigned on Aug. 26 for the shooting death of Kevin Young, 41, in his Tacoma motel room last week. On Aug. 25 Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged the defendants with murder in the first degree and robbery in the first degree. A third man, Raphael Smith, 32, was also charged and a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest. “The drug trade can be a dangerous business,� said

Lindquist. “All three of the defendants will be held accountable.� Young and his girlfriend spent the evening of Aug. 20 in their motel room with a woman the girlfriend had previously met in the Pierce County Jail. At 3a.m., the woman drove the couple to a nearby convenience store where Young withdrew $30 from the ATM. Shortly after they returned to the motel room, the woman left. Within minutes, Boykin and Smith

entered the motel room, armed with a shotgun, and demanded cash. An argument ensued and Young was shot in the abdomen. The defendants ran to a waiting car, driven by Skaro, and fled. Young was transported to the hospital, where he later died as a result of his gunshot wound. Initial investigation indicates the defendants intended to rob Young of his drugs and money. Detectives are continuing to investigate this case.

POLICE, COMMUNITIES MUST WORK TOGETHER FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY By Paul Pastor 3LHUFH &RXQW\ 6KHULII

When we raise our right hand to swear our oath of office as peace officers, we enter a realm of risk. Two risks are the most serious. The first risk is that we will have force used against us and will be killed or seriously injured in the context of carrying out our duties. The second risk is that we will use force and kill or injure another person in the performance of our duties. Both risks are real. Both carry tremendous costs for individuals, families and the entire community. Both often occur in the same incident. The first risk is often acknowledged. The second risk is not. These risks surrounding use of force can be mitigated with the proper application of strong ethics, policies, training

and equipment. These risks can also be reduced by strengthening trust between law enforcement and the community. Unfortunately, these risks can never be completely eliminated. The number of officers killed in the line of duty due to hostile action is trending up this year after a two-year decline. This risk of injury or death accompanies us whenever we report for duty, answer 911 calls, intervene in disputes and arrest those who commit crimes. But the other risk that we seldom acknowledge also accompanies us on a daily basis. Those outside of the law enforcement family may not count the costs of this risk but the costs are high. The daily work of law enforcement involves making difficult moral choices in situations that are often quick, chaotic and unpredictable. Our greatest challenge is to make good choices balancing a variety X See POLICE / page A4

Loss prevention stopped the man in the parking lot and recovered the merchandise totaling $5.96. When police arrived on the scene, they discovered the man had a previous criminal record, having stolen duct tape and soda from a Fred Meyer recently. Given the man’s limited criminal history, he was not taken into custody and instead was trespassed from all Rite-Aid locations for the next three years. A woman arrested on Aug. 23 on North Pearl Street had a similar plot in mind. Police contacted the woman after an employee at a local AM/ PM contacted them about the theft. When confronted, the woman gave a fake name that did not match up with any kind of records. When she finally gave her real name, she asked that she not be taken to jail, as she was trying to clean her life up. As she stood up, the stolen can of Steel Reserve beer was sitting right behind her. The woman was banned from all AM/PM locations and transferred to a facility in Des Moines for a preexisting warrant. Compiled by Derek Shuck

Native American entrepreneurs invited to business seminar By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

n his ongoing efforts to build up the prevalence of Native owned small businesses in the South Sound and to build a Native American community of business owners, Puyallup tribal member and entrepreneur William Manzanares is organizing a Native American business seminar scheduled for Sept. 9 at the Spanish Church next to the tribal administrative building, 4-6 p.m. The seminar is free and open to any Native American business owner and those curious about how to open their own business. Puyallup tribal members in particular are invited and encouraged to attend. After having opened numerous successful small businesses on and around the Puyallup reservation over the years, Manzanares is looking to not only share

This will not be a presentation-based event but rather focused more on people meeting, asking questions and talking to each other.

of ethical and legal issues often without the advantage of time for deliberation, an opportunity to consult with others or the advantage of all the information we would like to have. Sometimes we make the wrong choices. Most often this is due to lack of information, misreading of cues or just plain fear. Wrong choices by law enforcement officers can devastate communities and agencies. But what is remarkable is how seldom this takes place. What is remarkable is how day after day, shift after shift, 24/7 people in law enforcement act ethically and legally and make the right choices. Even when we act within the law and within ethical standards in using lethal force, there are costs that attend its use. Lethal force incidents cost families and communities. The taking of a life by a law enforcement officer also costs that officer. The taking of a life, even when legal and ethical, eats a bit of your soul. Whatever the outcome of the investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., we should remember the fact that most interactions and arrests that take place every day do not end in violence by the officer or by the citizen. In most instances, trust and restraint operate to bring about a non-violent outcome. Trust and restraint are what we should aim for. But trust and restraint are two-way streets. Both sides need to be invested. Otherwise things don’t work. The late Yale Professor Albert Reiss said it best. “Ultimately, a civil police depends upon a civil community. But the police are in a unique position to impact the civility of the community.� It falls to law enforcement to take the initiative in the area of trust and restraint. It falls to the community to meet law enforcement halfway and help mitigate the risks we face.

there was nowhere to find one answer,� he said. “I was a teenager going around to each department in the Tribe asking questions and when they’d say go talk to this person, I did that. I asked tons of questions and just figured it out so the knowledge I have is combined knowledge of years of talking to many people in many departments and figuring out what we can and can’t do on our reservation.� That’s the goal of this expo, he said, to share those secrets. The seminar is for existing business owners as well. “I know there are more (Native American) people out there who own businesses so with this I can entice tribal members who have businesses already to come and look at the benefit of seeing if they should do business on the reservation.� For more information, contact Manzanares at (253) 405-5625 or e-mail William@smokinwillys.com.

ART MUSEUM SHOWS AWARD WINNING HIGH SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY Now on view through Sept. 28

Experience the work of Washington’s talented high school photographers, on view now through Sept. 28 in the Community Art Space at Tacoma Art Museum. The 2014 Washington State High School Photography Competition received over 4,100 entries, submitted by 1,524 students from 70 Washington schools. Finalists from each of the 12 competition categories are included in the exhibition, featuring 36 photographs in black and white and in color. The creativity and technical quality of the photographs is as impressive as the subject matter is varied. Georgia Gray’s ghost-like bird footprints in snow is a unique portrayal in the Animal category; Laurel Heater’s photo of a gentleman holding a large, glowing-white goose presents an unexpected juxtaposition of subjects in the Portrait category; playful bubbles with rainbow reflections dance above a carpet of lush green grass in Alexandra McGraw’s landscape; a powerful waterfall backed by swirling storm clouds rendered in sepialike tones creates an air of mystery to Joshua Kahn’s Camera Phone entry. Each photo demonstrates thoughtful work on the part of these motivated

young photographers. “It is such an exciting opportunity for students to have their work shown in an art museum exhibition. We hope the experience will inspire these young artists toward further creativity and provide them deeper exposure to careers in the arts,� says Samantha Kelly, TAM’s Director of Education. “Publicly supporting the work of Washington students and their teachers through community exhibitions like this is another way Tacoma Art Museum connects people through art.� The annual High School Photography Competition was initiated in the 1980s by a group of high school photography teachers as a mechanism for celebrating student work. By the 1990s, the event had grown enough to attract sponsorship, media coverage, and increased public interest. Now, the competition elicits broad student participation and garners attention from the state’s top elected officials who present the winners at a prestigious awards ceremony. Professional photographers and others from the community volunteer time to review and judge the entries. The annual competition is open

to all 9-12 grade students in Washington’s public, private, and alternative high schools. Program sponsors include Museum Quality Framing, Kenmore Camera, and Canon. In addition to being recognized by the judges, teachers and peers, students may win prizes: one award-winner will receive a scholarship for a course at Photography Center Northwest; category winners receive $100 cash prizes; six images will be pictured on a run of Jones Soda bottles; and another lucky student will have the opportunity to photograph a match on the field with the Seattle Sounders FC soccer club’s team photographer. The top three photos in each category are included in exhibitions at both Tacoma Art Museum and Seattle Art Museum. For questions about the annual photography competition, contact Kelly Atkinson, Executive Director of the Washington State High School Photo Competition, at kellyatkinson@earthlink.net.

The Puyallup Tribe’s donation of $200,000 to Northwest Harvest will help keep food on the table for countless struggling families.

Considered among the most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has grown to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care of not only its own membership but sharing its wealth among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County, with a payroll of more than 3,300 people

– 74 percent of whom are non-Native. Working in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities, these employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2012, the Tribe spent over $445 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. Even during the recession, the Tribe increased employment and funded substantial vendor purchases and construction projects,

keeping many businesses afloat and people employed. As the country continues to recover from past economic woes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians leads the way locally. From sponsoring dozens of local charities, nonprofit 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 health care, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its well-deserved reputation as “the generous people,� a reflection of the meaning of the Tribe’s very name.

During hatchery releases and high flow events, personnel remain onsite through the night to clear the trap of debris and to keep fish from overcrowding. Salmonids collected in the trap are identified by species, measured for length and checked for hatchery or wild origin. After this short sampling period, they are released back into the river to continue their migration. Data collected from the project is used to estimate juvenile abundance, which provides baseline information to allow managers to meet escapement objectives in the watershed, forecast future returns of hatchery and naturally produced adults and provide critical biological and life history patterns of each species. Data collected in the past 14 years by the Tribe has been, and will continue to be, critical in determining the trends in productivity and evaluating the health of the watershed. The Tribe also plays an active role in improving fish passage and survivability to ensure bountiful returns for tribal and sport fisherman. In 2013, the tribal fisheries staff worked endlessly to monitor and improve fish passage above Mud Mountain dam and through A juvenile Chinook salmon with parr marks (characteristic the fish trap operated by the Army Corps of Engineers vertical bands) captured in the screw trap. Puyallup Tribe operates two of the five hatcheries on the Puyallup River, playing a vital role in salmon restoration and commercial fishing alongside non-tribal facilities. The Tribe conducts the Puyallup River Juvenile Salmonid Production Assessment Project, which began in 2000. The Puyallup Tribal Fisheries Department started the project to estimate juvenile production of native salmonids, with an emphasis on natural Fall Chinook salmon production and survival of hatchery and acclimation pond Chinook. In 2011, a newly constructed trapping platform was put into place on the lower Puyallup at RM 10.6, just upstream of the confluence with the White River. Trap operation begins in early spring (early-February) and continues, when feasible, 24 hours a day, seven days a week until late summer (mid-August). The trap

in Buckley, Washington. The Tribe continues to play an active role in urging the Army Corps of Engineers to meet its obligations to move fish above the dam for spawning and improve passage to lessen an unacceptable mortality rate at the fish trap due to the trap’s outdated design and capacity. In addition to the Tribe’s innovative hatchery operations and work to improve fish passage, in 2013 the Tribe constructed an acclimation pond on private land in Clearwater to provide for spring Chinook runs and should see its first fish in the

spring. “This project fills a production hole we’ve had since the road washed away in 2009,� said Russ Ladley, resource protection manager for the Tribe. The Tribe’s hatchery is key in providing spring Chinook runs for tribal and non-tribal fishermen on the Puyallup River. In 2014, the Tribe plans to construct an additional acclimation pond that will hold steelhead. With successful completion of the acclimation pond, the Tribe will be the only entity producing and rearing 50,000 steelhead in the watershed.

)**)-, ), Indian people pay taxes. They pay most of the same taxes non-Indians pay, and in some cases additional Tribal taxes as well. Indians have a few tax exemptions, just as non-Indians do. The Puyallup Tribe and its members are dramatic examples of these realities. Indian tribes collect taxes that are then sent to the appropriate taxing bodies. The Tribe withholds federal income tax from its employees (who include Puyallup Tribal members, other Indians and non-Indians), and from the per capita payments it makes to its members.

As federal law provides, the Tribe sends that money to the I.R.S., a total of over $43 million in FY 2013. As an employer, the Tribe pays its share of payroll taxes and withholds payroll taxes from its employees, which is then sent to the Social Security Administration and other government agencies. Those taxes added up to over $18 million in FY 2013. Under the terms of agreements with the State of Washington and local governments, the Tribe collects and pays tax funds to those governments, including

about $11 million to the State of Washington, and over $300,000 to the City of Fife. Unlike all other governments, non-trust land owned by the Puyallup Tribal government is often subject to state and local property taxes. In 2013, the Puyallup Tribe paid nearly $1 million in property taxes to state and local governments. The total amount in taxes collected, withheld, or paid to the various governments by the Tribe in FY 2013 was over $75 million.

Custom mouthguards protect student athletes from dental injuries and concussions Custom-made mouthguards are widely accepted as an important component of protecting student athletes from orofacial injuries, and new research suggests they may also reduce the incidence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI)/concussions. The research, published by the Academy of General Dentistry in the May/June, 2014 issue of General Dentistry, followed 412 male high school football athletes from six teams in Pennsylvania. Three teams - 220 athletes - wore custom fitted mouthguards. The remaining three teams with 192 athletes wore over-the-counter mouthguards of their own choosing. All teams wore the same helmets. The study showed athletes wearing custom mouthguards had less than half the incidence of TBI/concussions – 3.6% as opposed to 8.3% of the athletes wearing over-thecounter types. The difference appears to be linked to the increased thickness offered by a custom mouthguard, enabling it to more effectively absorb shock, increase head and neck stability and limit movement from a direct hit to the jaw. Both categories of injury – TBI/concussions and orofacial – are widespread among young athletes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate “U.S. emergency departments (EDs) treat an estimated 173,285 sports- and recreation-related TBIs, including concussions, among children and adolescents, from birth to 19 years.� In 2011, the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation predicted that 3 million teeth would be knocked out during youth sporting events. Custom mouthguards are increasingly being used to help protect kids from these types of injuries. Organizations including the National Federation of State High School Associations, the American Dental Association and the Academy for Sports Dentistry encourage use of custom mouthguards as the best protection against orofacial injury. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), athletes who don’t wear a mouthguard are 60 times more likely to suffer injuries to the teeth. The AAP recommends a custom mouthguard to achieve the best fit and protection for all athletes, especially for athletes who wear braces or have a fixed bridge. Dr. Jennifer Granlund of Distinctive Dentistry in Fife, agrees. “The latest research seems to indicate that custom mouthguards are helpful in decreasing the incidence of traumatic brain injuries. As for dental injuries, the research clearly shows that custom mouthguards are much more effective than over-thecounter versions. They offer the best protection for our student athletes which is important – permanent teeth don’t grow back.�

CLEANER. NW Innovation Works’ liquefied natural gas facility will allow nearby TOTE ships to run on a cleaner-burning fuel.

PORT DEALS LAND JOBS, CUT CARBON FOOTPRINT OF OPERATIONS ON TIDEFLATS By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Two projects in the works on Tacoma’s tideflats will make the waterway a hub for liquefied natural gas that will be used in international ships and for peak demand usage in houses around Puget Sound. Port of Tacoma Commissioners recently authorized a 25-year lease deal that would allow Puget Sound Energy to build a new liquefied natural gas facility on a 30-acre site along the Hylebos Waterway. The project is now undergoing detailed feasibility studies, which could take about two years. The site at the corner of Alexander Avenue and 11th Street was formerly a Navy and Marine reserve base the port had acquired from the Department of Defense after the base was closed during the last Base Realignment and Closure Commission review. Buildings on the site will be removed to make way for the new plant in a deal projected to raise $8 million in lease revenue to the port. PSE is expected to spend about $275 million to construct the facility, which will generate about 150 con-

struction jobs and then about 18 jobs when the facility opens in 2018. The facility will primarily be used to store natural gas for use during high demand winter months and for the rising number of international shipping companies that are looking to switch their fleets to natural gas. Gas stored in the plant’s 8 milliongallon tank, for example, will flow through an underground pipeline under the roadway into Totem Ocean Trailer Express, which has two ships slated for conversion to natural gas in the coming years. Natural gas is cleaner than conventional fuels and becoming less expensive as the natural gas fields of North Dakota continue to expand. Liquefied natural gas offers many environmental benefits over conventional fuels, like diesel, mainly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30 percent and eliminating visible emissions. This helps improve air quality and reduce health risks associated with gas engines. Use of natural gas also virtually eliminates the potential for harmful fuel spills that could damage the waters of Commencement Bay and Puget Sound because it quickly evaporates once it

reaches air. News of the PSE facility comes after the port signed a similar lease with a private company in May that would have Northwest Innovation Works leasing the former 90-acre Kaiser Aluminum smelter site to build a facility that would convert natural gas to methanol. Construction of the plant would provide about 1,000 jobs and then about 220 workers when it becomes operational during two phases in 2018. Details and permits are currently under review, which will take about two years. The $1.8 billion plant would convert natural gas to methanol for shipment from the East Blair Waterway to Asian countries, where it will largely be converted to plastic for use in bottles, cell phones and carpets. The cleaner burning methanol would help reduce China’s reliance on higher-emission coal and petroleum. “This proposal will put a former industrial site back into productive use, creating jobs and economic growth for our community, as well as supporting our strategic goals to diversify our cargo mix,� according to a Port of Tacoma statement on this deal.

LABOR DAY ’14

American labor unions must, and will, change By Bill Johnston For reasons too numerous to mention here, organized labor in the United States has declined dramatically since 1955. That was the year the number of workers belonging to unions in our country reached 35 percent of the workforce. Labor was a recognized force in politics and economics and had to be acknowledged in the halls of power. If you throw in union public employees today with some cooked numbers, the percentage stands at 12 percent with no major growth in sight. It is not uncommon to hear corporations exclaim that the total demise of organized labor is at hand! With great despair, pro-union critics of current labor leadership and philosophy strongly question if the United States will see any rebirth of strong unions. On Labor Day 2014, are unions dead in America or declined to a level as to be irrelevant? I am reminded of a speech made by the head of the National Chamber of Commerce in 1928, just a year before the country was hit by the Great Depression. Confidently, he told his audience of Wall Street speculators, “Unions are dead - business has moved beyond having to deal with these organizations.â€? Of course, within five years unions were growing and bringing in new members faster than at anytime in U.S. history. So much for that prediction! Mostly through no fault of their own, most Americans are historically illiterate and are not aware that unions in the United States have come and gone during five organizational periods during our history. The workers in the foundry at colonial Jamestown brought their Guild system from Europe with them in 1620 and were union members when they were all killed in an Indian attack. “I didn’t know that!â€? you exclaim. Of course you didn’t because history is taught to American students “on the shoulders of giantsâ€? telling us “workers didn’t do anything to build the country; only the rich people did‌ the job creators.â€? The predictors of the demise of organized labor and unions today could learn a few things about the story of the Labor Movement. If they did, they would not write it off so quick and easily because history tells us that workers will always organize. Let us turn back the clock to 1750 B.C. and take a look at the Code of Hammurabi. What do we find? Organizations of workers, job safety rules, workers compensation and severe punishment of employers who broke the law. The pyramids of Giza were built with union labor. The crews split into two groups of workers, each specializing on one side of the pyramid. Archeologists have even found a letter addressed to the pharaoh threatening STRIKE! if the workers’ demands were not met. Greek and Roman unions were called “colleges.â€? During the first century, the City of Rome had more than 100 unions - a general strike brought all workers in the city outside the gates where they remained until their demands were met. When Mt. Vesuvius buried the City of Pompeii in 72 A.D., Rome was in the middle of an election. Campaign posters by Roman unions can still be seen along the streets of this archeological treasure endorsing

“It is not uncommon to hear corporations exclaim that the total demise of organized labor is at hand! With great despair, pro-union critics of current labor leadership and philosophy strongly question if the United States will see any rebirth of strong unions. On Labor Day 2014, are unions dead in America or declined to a level as to be irrelevant?� candidates for the Senate. Things don’t change that much, do they? Thomas Jefferson founded the modern-day Democratic Party, a political party comprising small farmers, enlisted veterans of the revolutionary army and “mechanics� – workers who organized into industry guilds. The anti-union Tutor Industrial Code had been imported from Europe giving employers the ability to declare “organizations of workers a criminal conspiracy.� Andrew Jackson running for president as a pro-union candidate eliminated the law in his first term. American working men and women have tried several forms of organization since colonial days and the founding of the republic with various amounts of success. The current system, which only the most obtuse would claim still works, is vaporizing as did the Guild System, The Knights of Labor, the Wobblies, the Syndicalists and where did those Sons of Vulcan go? History shows every new form of union organization has come from the working class itself, not from “leaders� of the system in place. Unions are no different from other established organizations. Leadership wants to keep things just the way they are. Keep the paycheck and benefits keep corning - don’t rock the boat! Is there a new American labor organization out there? Bubbling up from the working class? How will it be different from the current system? Remember the current collective bargaining system is set up on the premise that capital and labor are in a partnership to insure a smooth operation of the general economy. Business has over the past 50 years double-crossed their unions and trashed the agreement completely in 1980. Future workers organizations may not be so willing to enter into collaborative agreements again. Today few examples exist of corporations that their employees trust. Corporate America is based on

profits and its workers are no more than another cost to be lowered by any means possible. History shows us that new American union leadership will come about as the current organizational structure breaks down. That is what happened between 1928 when the Chamber of Commerce predicted the end of labor unions and 1934 when labor gained membership, power and economic influence. Working class voters put pro-union Franklin D. Roosevelt into the White House (“If I were a worker, I would join a. union!�) and turned from the “business unionism� of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) to the left leaning and all encompassing Congress of lndustrial Organizations (CIO). It was a dramatic change in philosophy and leadership. American unions must change and will change. Those who will not like it will be the corporations and will lose power when the current alienation and disgust with crony capitalism become unbearable. The middle class is disappearing and for young workers nothing but a life of low wages and temporary employment await them. The other group who will not be happy to see a historical change will be the current labor “leadership� who will be swept away by history’s great broom of renewal. Have a safe and wonderful Labor Day. Oh, and you can thank the Central Labor Union of New York City for creating the holiday in 1882! William F. (Bill) Johnston is a Vietnam-era veteran of the U.S. Air Force and a graduate of Western Washington University with a Bachelor’s degree in journalism and history and a Masters in political science. He is a firstplace award recipient for Excellence in Journalism from the Society of Professional Journalists and is a current member of the National Writers Union – UAW 1981 (AFL-CIO).

Tacoma City Council hopes the trend will catch on, but instead of jumping on the bandwagon of environmental stewardship it hopes to be an inventor of the wheeled conveyance. Council members recently passed a “green roads policy� that tasked city officials with creating a transportation and streets program for the city that puts environmental impact, sustainability, stewardship and economic development at the center of the discussion. It is the first of its kind in the nation. The city already has four projects certified by Greenroads Foundation in the works, so the new policy will strive to dovetail into that effort by following the policies outlined in the program. It shocks no one who has driven Tacoma’s streets that the city needs significant road work not only with new roads but outright replacement of current streets that have become little more than gravel strips from decades of underfunding repairs and upkeep. Costs to bring the city up to current standards and to stem the decay of its transportation system will likely take decades and cost upward of $1 billion. The city, after all, has 857 lane miles of main arterial streets and 8,610 residential blocks of street to maintain as well as 21,600 streetlights that date back to the 1960s and 335 traffic signals that are often decades old. Top off that list with 75,000 street signs and 19 city parks that aren’t part of the Metropolitan Parks District of Tacoma and the roster of potential work grows well beyond the current funding for everything. None of that work comes cheap, neither the work nor the upkeep. So the trick is to leverage each dollar to stretch as far as possible, not only in the initial work but the future maintenance during the life of the road. What the city has found is that it isn’t necessarily a matter of paying now or paying later. It can be a matter of savings now also translates into savings in lower maintenance costs decades into the future. Wapato Lake Drive, for example, is a $1.15 million project that included the removal and replacement of an existing roadway with permeable pavement around Wapato Lake Park. The work included a handful of sustainable street improvements to provide a more environmentally friendly pedestrian link to the park, such as noninvasive and native planting, LED lighting with non-light polluting fixtures and runoff control designs that limit road runoff from flowing into the lake system. The city’s highest profile effort was the renovation of Cheney Stadium, which received the Association of Washington Cities’ “Municipal Excellence Award� this year for “Making a Difference in Your Environment.� The project retrofitted the parking lot, reconstructed Clay Huntington Way and revamped the stadium’s Tyler Street entrance over two off-seasons using green infrastructure to reduce stormwater runoff and improve access for bicycles and pedestrians. Cheney Stadium now has about six acres of permeable pavement, three rain gardens, sustainable landscaping, new pedestrian walkways and seven acres of new tree canopy. The ballpark also has two electric vehicle charging stations. The stormwater system costs just half of what traditional methods would have cost and provides better drainage and sustainability. The city is taking the lead in not just counting dollars for projects, but in making those dollars count for the full investment of the road rather than the initial cost, even if that cost comes up lower from the start. Let’s hope other cities follow Tacoma’s lead.

costs, chronically homeless people cost Tacomans an average of $35,000 each per year. The cost plummets when the homeless are housed, paying a third of their income, which often is Social Security, for subsidized housing rent,

and staying healthy and out of trouble. The Randall Townsend adds a new resource, and provides the first step for people who have not fit into other programs. It has been divided into 35 efficiency apartments, each with a

bathroom and kitchenette. MDC included a community room, a medical exam room and, key to the success of the project, quarters for a 24-hour security staff. Though the renovators found and removed layer after toxic layer of asbestos, plus lead plumbing, they were able to preserve the original fir floors. True to its original name, the building has lovely views of Commencement Bay and downtown. More importantly, it is across

Fawcett Avenue from MDC’s services center, which offers medical and mental health care, programs to fight addictions, plus education and employment resources. That adds up to the help that a person who has survived in shelters and on the streets needs to get settled, make the choice to work toward recovery, and plan for a stable life. “Within Randall Townsend, within those homes, they’ll have access to critical support services,�

said Mark Pereboom, MDC’s president and CEO. “This is for many of them the first time they will have hope.� That hope starts with the dignity of choice, said Troy Christensen, MDC’s chief operating and strategy officer. Residents will not have to be sober when they move into the building. “You get your housing, and everything else comes later. The only requirement is that you behave legally, and so you don’t get evicted,� Christensen said. That’s how it works in any other landlord-tenant relationship. But residents also get a case manager who will evaluate their needs and connect them to resources as they are ready for them. “When you don’t require services up front and give people the dignity of requesting what they want, they use more services,� Pereboom said, referring to national studies. “Case managers will be pulling together client-centered plans, and residents are accountable to that plan.� Medical and mental health help are usually first on the list for Housing First participants. “People coming out of 10 to 15 years of living outside can look psychotic because of the whole way in which they interact with the world,� Christensen said. “Homelessness causes

mental illness, and one of the best remedies is to remove the homelessness.� Most Housing First participants delight in having their own place. For the first time in years, they can spend all day indoors if they choose. They can bathe, do laundry, cook a meal, sit and read or watch television. They do not have to leave a shelter at 6:30 a.m., walk to one meal site, then to a drop-in center, another meal site, then line up for a shelter bed again in the afternoon. The Randall Townsend will not bring troubled people to the neighborhood, Pereboom said. “They are already our neighbors. They just don’t have a front door.� Now they do, as well as a security guard. They will be safe from predators bent on getting their Social Security payments, trading drugs for sex, or simply tormenting them, as skinhead gang wannabees did to the reborn building’s namesake, Randall Townsend. In 2003, Townsend, who was a U.S. Navy veteran, was homeless as a result of mental illness. The skinheads found him under the Murray Morgan Bridge and kicked him and beat him with a baseball bat. They got the red shoelaces the gang initiation demanded. Townsend died. MDC has honored him not only by naming a building for him, but by using initiative, accountability and compassion to bring people like Townsend out of the danger, and into a life of hope and substance.

If you would like to help furnish one of the 35 Randall Townsend Apartments, MDC would appreciate a monetary gift. Please contact Maria DeVore at (253) 284-9056 or email her at mdevore@mdc- khope.org.

W Racism From page A1

begin with the authorities; any authority in any community has a responsibility to represent the entire community. The responsibility of the police, to serve and protect the entire community, is a big responsibility. The responsibility of community, to enable the police to do that, is a responsibility the community must take seriously. I would say that there needs to be open dialogue about how we go about that, and that dialogue has to address history. What does the police mean to community X? The police means an authority figure or figures that serve the community’s best interests. But for community Y, communities of color, that picture is different, and we must address that before another situation erupts.

TW: Things have been diffusing a little bit with fewer arrests and less violence, but where do they go from here? DG: I say they build on what happened to diffuse the tension. The tension was diffused when, as the side with force that could prove deadly, the police from the state decided they were going to engage the community rather than take the route of being embattled, so when they withdrew the almost military approach, that began to diffuse the tension. The responsibility of the community, not to provoke or promote violence, is a major responsibility. The call of “no justice no peace� is a significant call; it’s irresponsible to call for peace without addressing the underlying problem of what the community sees as no justice. On the other side, it would be unfair to put the men and women who serve us as police officers in harm’s way where guns are being fired at them and folks are saying don’t fire back, so there needs to be that balance. TW: Moving on to racism in schools – elementary school, high school, college – what does that look like in this day and age? DG: The term we’re using more and more is “micro aggressions.� So crass racism, racism that looked like Jim Crow segregation, all of that, one of the successes of the civil rights movement of the 1950’s, 60’s and 70s was to render that socially unacceptable. What has replaced crass and physical racism is more invisible racism, as some people call it, “racism without racists.� There is still the system of disparity, and there are still the slights of micro aggression, whether it is in the classroom, where young black boys say they’re not called on when they raise their hands with their peers, or as one young black boy told me last week, “The teacher just told me to get out of her class, didn’t give me a reason. I was not aware I did anything.� So again and again when I talk to young black boys I hear this story and sometimes when I talk to teachers, I become aware that there is fear of these black children – they are labeled. That’s part of how racism manifests – they are moved away from the opportunities and put more in the remedial, disciplinary kind of settings. Of course one of the problems we have is a nation of rapidly changing demographics, and this is most strikingly demonstrated in the classroom where this

year for the first time in the nation, the majority of students in public schools in the United States are students of color. The percentage of teachers and leaders in education has remained sadly resistant to change, and that’s a major change we have to address. Like we found out in Ferguson, representation matters.

TW: What tactics do we use to talk about this, to bring it to light, to change it? DG: I would like to see us move beyond trigger responses that either jump to blame or argument or defensiveness and begin with an acknowledgement of history. That’s always been a challenge for the nation – can we acknowledge history? Because this is a nation that productively has focused on the future, what we can do next, and that’s a good thing. But right alongside that should be an acknowledgement of what has shaped us. What has made us who we are and, therefore, what can propel us to what we can become? Then I would say that our conversation needs to be inclusive. We have to acknowledge that race is way beyond black and white. To discuss race is to discuss the entire rainbow of who we are. One: begin with an honest acknowledgement; two: work to full engagement; and three: be ready for the hard work. These conversations will never be easy, they can never be painless. TW: The Race and Pedagogy conference is coming up on Sept. 25. Is this a way to get the conversation going? DG: This is a way to encourage our community, our national community, our regional community and our local community to join us in asking the question “what now?� What’s the role of education? I teach at the University of Puget Sound and I tell audiences all the time, my argument is I can tell you who the leaders of the next generation are going to be. They’re the ones sitting in my classes. Invariably someone will tell me “X didn’t go to college,� and that’s always the exception. If the number of young black men going to and graduating from college, if that number is diminishing, then the number of black men in leadership, 10 years down the road or 20 years down the road, that disparity will still be there. So we want to say education has always been in the forefront of the nation’s life when it comes to issues of inclusion. Public education has always been the gateway; it’s the pipeline that keeps the American dream possible, and we want to keep that gate open rather than have it shut by default. TW: Any closing comments? DG: The experiment of America is a

fabulous experiment, the notion that free people can go govern themselves without the need for kings, and that experiment has led the world in terms of how people might live and live freely. But there are some flaws and one of the endearing challenges is how do we deal with difference? Difference which has created pockets of privilege and pockets of poverty, how to deal with that in institutions where poverty endures over generations? The genius of the nation is that it says, “Let’s embark on an experiment where that’s not going to be an enduring feature.� All people have a chance to move from the very bottom to as far as their ability will take them, That’s the experiment I signed up for.

W Bay Terrace their own. “I can pay the rent with a smile and have money left over for other bills,� Gardner said. She is using the resources at the community center to plan how to go back to school for the skills she needs to earn enough to support her family, to become independent. “This has given me the best opportunity to change my life around,� she said. And that is the point of those two refreshed blocks of attractive buildings and the network of resources and partnerships woven through them. Because it was a ribbon-cutting, Tacoma Housing Authority Executive Director Michael Mirra, THA commissioners Greg Mowat and Judge Stanley Rumbaugh, Chuck Weinstock of JP Morgan Chase, Chris Walvoord of Enterprise Community Investments, Pamela Trevithick of GGLO architects and the rep from Absher Construction Co., led the program with the tale of the mighty challenge of building it all. It began in 1970, when a private developer slathered poorly-designed apartments that were not built to last on four blocks between South 15th and 27th streets between Yakima Avenue and South ‘G’ Street. Conifer Village flopped on the open market and, in 1976, THA did what it would not do now: It bought the commercial failure. THA renamed it Hillside Terrace. Twenty years later, in 1996, the buildings, like big chunks of the Hilltop, were worn out. THA asked the feds for the money to tear it down and rebuild it. The Department of Housing and Urban Development responded with a potential disaster: It gave the demolition money for all of it, but nothing for rebuilding. One hundred and eighty families would lose their homes if THA used the money. New to the board of commissioners, Rumbaugh fought the feds and won time for THA to find the reconstruction money. “In 2002 we got the financing for the 2300 and 1500 blocks,� Mirra said. “That was our last big project before Salishan.� The buildings were solid, the design attractive and the landscaping welcoming. During the decade that THA focused most of its energy on financing and rebuilding Salishan on the East Side, a curious thing happened on the Hilltop. Private developers picked up properties near the new THA properties and built equally attractive homes and condos, from the affordable to high end. Other non-profits, including Mercy Housing, followed suit. “Both lovely and ugly are contagious,� Mirra said. “Set a high design bar. Invest in neighborhoods that need investment. Do a good job, and you will embolden other people.� You also will challenge them to meet that design standard, whether they are building for the wealthy or those of limited means. You should, Mirra added,

From page A1

be building for both and everyone in between to maintain economic diversity on the Hilltop. “There are 10,000 jobs on the Hilltop, and only about 500 are filled by people who live on the Hilltop.� Bay Terrace offers homes for people with a range of incomes, from very low to work force. The right mix will help rebuild the once varied and vibrant economy on the Hilltop as people live, work, walk and shop there. But the development was a long time coming. After Salishan came the Great Recession of 2008. It took THA until 2013 to assemble the funds to tear down the rest of Hillside Terrace and get the design and construction started on Phase one, 70 units, of the rebuilding. THA is working on assembling even more money for construction of Phases two and three. The total project will include from 140 to 190 apartments, with community buildings and enough green space, community gathering areas and trees new and old to belie the high density that puts it in compliance with the City of Tacoma’s Comprehensive Plan. Perhaps the Amazing Amylah could help. She could bring potential investors to her Head Start classroom, the only one in Tacoma not at a Tacoma School District site. That should underline the strength of the collaboration and trust between THA and Tacoma Schools. As she breezes through, she could point out the computer room and the community room. She could point across the street at Goodwill, and perhaps drop the name of a neighbor who is learning job skills there. She could explain why she can’t just waltz into the mid-rise apartment buildings, with their excellent security system from the doors to the garage to the cameras that monitor all public spaces, including the library alcoves on each floor, the raised gardens and the exterior play space. The books in those library shelves, like the ones in the community building, are free for the taking and reading, she might add. She could introduce some of the elected officials she charmed at the ribbon-cutting. State Senator Jeannie Darneille might speak of THA’s reputation for building housing that is beautiful, humane – and efficient. Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland could repeat her praise of THA’s reputation for building effective partnerships that empower residents to become so educated and wise and innovative that companies looking to relocate here can’t resist Tacoma’s awesome talent pool. Tacoma City Councilmember Lauren Walker, who has lived on the Hilltop for 26 years, would mention the awful days of gangs and drugs and talk about all the good THA has brought with its developments and its example of accountability. “Tacoma Housing Authority’s work helps make Tacoma a wonderful place to grow up and raise a family,� she would say again.

OUT OF MY ELEMENT 8: BATTLE AT THE BOAT 97

he secret is starting to get out around Washington state and they can’t be none too pleased to hear about it. Tacoma’s high school football programs may very well have moved past the “we’re improving” phase and now are looking at least cleatdeep in the “we’ll see you in the playoffs” phase. This week, we begin our look at the upcoming high school football season starting with two Tacoma high schools playing in separate leagues – The Bellarmine Prep Lions of the 4A Narrows league and the Lincoln Abes of the 3A Narrows. Both teams are considered among the favorites for their league title and it’s been a different journey for the two.

Mixed results for local sluggers By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

BELLARMINE PREP LIONS

The nationwide Maxpreps.com recently put out its top-20 list of Washington’s “Most Dominant Football Programs of the Decade.” While it is no surprise to see perennial powerhouse Bellevue at the top of the list, it may be a bit of a surprise to see Bellarmine come in at number 20. Between the 2004 and 2009 seasons, head coach Tom Larsen’s Bellarmine squads were a gritty bunch that went 30-30 over the six seasons. In the four seasons since, Bellarmine has went 44-9, reaching the state 4A semifinals twice, the quarterfinals once and falling to Skyline in the state championship game in 2012. Larsen saw a change a couple of years before this dynamic run began for his program. “A couple of classes before these teams began setting a different foundation,” Larsen said. “The players following have been reaping the benefits of the dedication to hard work and the understanding of real commitment.” Last season, the Lions won twostraight state playoff games on last-minute field goals. It’s not often that teams boast their place kicker as one of the most important players, but the Lions’ Matthew Philichi has proven he has ice water running through his veins. Philichi is listed among the best kickers in the country on numerous Internet scouting sites and some consider him to possibly be the best in the West. “The opportunity to put the ball in the end zone on a kickoff is not a regular thing in high school,” said Larsen. “His leadership as a kicker has given him the privilege of being named a captain of the team.” The honors student is getting looks from several D-1 football programs and he’s not the only one on his team. Junior middle linebacker Erik Glueck has been getting looks from D-1 programs. The 6’ 2”, 225-pounder will be line-up alongside outside linebackers Noah Failauga and Jamal Ervin to combine for one of the better linebacking corps in the Puget Sound. Larsen has not named a new starting X See FOOTBALL / page A13

The boxing spotlight again cast its light upon Tacoma on Saturday, Aug. 23, as the Battle of the Boat series continued its long run at the Emerald Queen Casino. With hometown boys on the bill, a loud and raucous crowd was on hand for the seven-bout lineup of quality boxing, big hits and a few surprises. As I sat ringside with Tacoma Weekly photographer Rocky Ross and everythingwriter Derek Shuck, I knew I had once again surrounded myself with some gents that were ready to watch the fur fly. It was the first trip to see the fights for Derek, and Rocky has been doing it for years. We made our picks prior to the start, and I knew I was going to take home the win this time. Rocky edged me last time and I owed him some payback. It was fight time and as usual, the guest emcee came out with the ring girls draped over his arms, smiling like a Cheshire cat. It was the “Partridge Family” and KZOK’s Danny Bonaduce, and while he really is a kick in the pants, the fight fans weren’t there to see him gab. They were quite pleased when he made short work of his hello and welcome, and slipped back out of the ring. In the first bout, Tenino’s Zach Marti, making his professional debut, would square off against Cole Milani of Klamath Falls, Oregon at the 161-pound division. Marti entered the ring to Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson’s “Good Hearted Woman.” I hadn’t picked Marti to win, but his awesome song selection was just too much for me and I had to root for him. In hindsight, this probably was the best fight of the night, and it was a bit of a shame that it set such a high bar for the rest of the bouts to follow. From the opening bell, Marti was swinging from the cheap seats while Milani pounded his opponent with body shots throughout the four-rounder. First blood was drawn by Marti in the third round and it looked as though Milani was wearing down. However, when the start bell rang for the fourth, Milani came out looking fresh. With both fighters bleeding and the 10-second hammer just having clacked, Milani peppered Marti with several shots to the head, dropping his opponent violently to the mat. Referee Joel Scobie immediately saw that Marti was out-cold and ended the fight with just four seconds remaining. X See BOXING / page A13

Local Restaurants CHILL OUT AT GIBSON’S FROZEN YOGURT Johnny’s Dock

By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

I

n 2011, when Jim Gibson was on a trip to California, he noticed the growing trend of frozen yogurt stores, a healthier alternative to ice cream that challenges customers to get creative in picking their flavors and topping for their dessert. With this in mind, Gibson and his wife, Judy Jones, opened two Gibson’s Frozen Yogurt locations in Tacoma, one at 8 N. Tacoma Ave. in the Stadium District and the other at 5916 N. 26th St. at Westgate. “He loved going [to frozen yogurt locations] because they were positive and creative, just a fun thing to take the family to. It was very fun and he came home and said ‘we need one of these in Tacoma,’� Jones said. Gibson and Jones quickly set up shop, but realized that they weren’t limited to just having frozen yogurt. So an espresso machine was brought in. As summer transitions into the colder months, Gibson and Jones are banking on the coffee being a major draw, starting with Free Coffee Week on Sept. 7, offering 12 oz. cups of coffee with an invitation that can be picked up at the shops. The Westgate location even offers a drive through for caffeine or fro-yo fans on the go. Gibson’s Yogurt specializes in unique toppings you may not be able to find at the big chains, like various brands of cereal and even bacon bits. “It’s pretty much customer driven, well try it for awhile and if it goes we’ll keep it,� Jones said. The customers are important not just in terms of bringing new flavors to the table but giving Gibson’s Frozen Yogurt its unique atmosphere. “It’s our community support [that makes Gibson’s Yogurt unique]. It’s a community gathering place, something that’s at the heart of everything we do,� Jones said. The family acknowledges this by giving back to the community. Whether it’s $5 fill ‘em Fridays or Thursday

movie nights for families, there is always something going on at Gibson’s that breathes life into Tacoma. Gibson’s Stadium location is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight on Fridays, 8 a.m. to midnight on Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays. The Westgate location is open from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 6:30 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. Both locations will close an hour earlier starting in September. “It’s one of the only places you can go later in the evening that’s not alcohol related,� Jones said. “If someone’s not really interested in drinking, they have other places to go.� STADIUM 8 N Tacoma Ave. (253) 302-3856

SPORTSWATCH PACIFIC LUTHERAN FOOTBALL PICKED TO FINISH SECOND BY NWC COACHES

The Northwest Conference coaches tabbed the Lutes to finish second in the conference standings for the fifth consecutive year. Linfield was named the favorite to take the NWC crown, as the coaches expect the top of the standings to look the same as it has for the past half-decade. PLU finished each of the past two seasons with a 5-1 conference record, as the Lutes’ lone loss each season came against Linfield. Linfield earned 56 points, with the Lutes earning 42. Willamette ranked third (36), followed by Pacific (34), Whitworth (25), Puget Sound (15), Lewis & Clark (14) and first-year program George Fox (10). The Lutes return 11 All-Northwest Conference players, with 10 starters returning on offense. Senior guard Tevon StephensBrown will anchor the offensive line as he returns for his final campaign boasting d3football.com preseason All-American recognition. He was tabbed as one of the top two guards in all of NCAA Div. III by the college football website, earning First Team honors. He’ll help protect fellow First-Team AllConference honorees quarterback Dalton Ritchey and running back Niko Madison. Ritchey enters his senior season with two years of starting experience under center, while Madison led the conference in rushing last season. Making Ritchey’s life easier will be a pair of all-conference wide receivers in Kyle Warner and Kellen Westering, along with honorable mention all-conference tight end Lucas Sontra. On defense, the Lutes return a pair of all-conference defensive backs in Connor Cummings and Greg Hibbard, along with all-conference linebacker Joel Anthony. All three will be seniors for the Lutes in 2014. It isn’t just Stephens-Brown who received national attention, as the entire PLU squad is expected to continue its recent run as a top-25 program. The preseason d3football.com poll pegged the Lutes 19th in the nation, as PLU picked up 169 points. Linfield ranked fourth as the two squads represent the NWC in the rankings. The Lutes open the 2014 season Sept. 13 with a home game against West Coast rival California Lutheran. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup.

PACIFIC LUTHERAN AND PUGET SOUND VOLLEYBALL PICKED 1-2 IN NWC

The Pacific Lutheran University volleyball team will open the 2014 season favored in the Northwest Conference PreSeason Coaches’ poll to capture its third straight NWC title. PLU received seven first-place votes from the coaches with a total of 70 points in the voting. Additionally, the Lutes find themselves ranked 21st in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III Top 25 Preseason Poll as the sole representative of the NWC in the top 25. PLU is no stranger to conference success, having won back-to-back league titles in 2012 and 2013 and six championships in the last eight years. The Lutes captured the 2013 crown with a 15-1 conference record, finishing 19-6 overall before falling to Augsburg College in the first round of the NCAA Div. III National Tournament. Pacific Lutheran’s cross-town rival University of Puget Sound ranked second with 53 points, followed by Whitworth (43), Willamette (42), George Fox (34), Pacific (32), Lewis & Clark (21), Whitman (21) and Linfield (13). PLU returns three players key to its recent success, senior setter Samantha North, a Second-Team AVCA All-American and the 2013 NWC Player of the Year, senior libero Amber Aguiar named the 2013 NWC Libero of the Year, and senior

middle blocker Amy Wooten, an all-conference honorable mention. The Lutes will look to replace all-conference first team and honorable mention All-American middle blocker Bethany Huston in addition to fellow 2013 seniors Haley Urdahl and Allison Wood. Pacific Lutheran will open the 2014 season on Aug. 29 at the University of Puget Sound Premier Tournament. The Lutes will match up with Bethel University(Minn.) at 10 a.m., followed by a match against Corban University at 3 p.m. They will return to the court on Aug. 30 to take on the Oregon Institute of Technology before closing the weekend against tournament-host UPS.

CELEBRATE THE U.S. OPEN AND CHAMBERS BAY AT THE FAIR

The eyes of the world will be on Chambers Bay during the U.S Open next June and the Fair Museum has the inside scoop. For the duration of the Washington State Fair, Sept. 5-21, visit the Chambers Bay exhibit at the Fair Museum for information and visuals about the course and the U.S Open. The exhibit features the transformation of Chambers Bay from an empty gravel pit into a premier golf course. The exhibit also has displays focused on the history of the U.S Open and its greatest moments. The Chambers Bay exhibit was designed based off of two books, “America’s St. Andrews� and “Great Moments of the U.S. Open.� The St. Andrews book is the story of how Chambers Bay was picked for the site of the U.S Open and includes history of the site, as well as award-winning photography. The U.S Open book was developed by the United States Golf Association and features golf heroes from different generations, along with incredible archival photos and artifacts. Both books will be for sale at the exhibit, along with Chambers Bay merchandise and any U.S. Open tickets that are still available. The exhibit will be open to Fair guests every day of the Fair, Sept. 5-21, during building hours. The Washington State Fair is one of the biggest fairs in the world, and the largest in the Pacific Northwest. It started in 1900 in Puyallup, and welcomes over one million guests to the single largest attended event in the state. Star-studded entertainment, the PRCA Rodeo, rides, exhibits, food, flowers and animals are mainstays of the 17-day event in September. For more information about the Sept. 5-21, 2014 Washington State Fair, visit www.thefair.com.

quarterback yet. Senior Jared Richardson and Christian Moore have been battling it out at practice, and the job of signal caller is still up in the air. Bellarmine will open the season at home against a potent Bonney Lake squad Sept. 5. While Bellarmine’s rise to prominence has been quite visible, the athletic, hardnosed “Rail Splitters� on the other side of town have recently burst upon the scene. Head coach Jon Kitna enters his third year directing the Lincoln Abes’ program and following a 5-5 first season, Lincoln hit another gear in 2013. The Abes finished 8-2

W Boxing Marti would remain in the ring for nearly 15 minutes as medical staff did their best to remind the confused fighter where he was and what had just caused him to take a little nap. Due to an undisclosed family emergency, the late-addition main event was bumped down to the second slot, and the crowd witnessed a much more technical battle from 168pounders Dashon Johnson and Louis “Unknown� Rose. For 10 rounds, the two put on a fine display of boxing prowess, but the fight lacked any fireworks and the two fighters looked relatively unscathed when Rose’s hand was raised for a unanimous decision victory. Possibly the greatest part of the second bout was the referee. In my 41 years, I have never seen a man who more resembled Mark Twain. Derek and I had a good laugh about this unknown profession of Mr. Samuel Clemens. For the third bout, it was Puyallup mixed-martial artist Taki Uluilakepa making his boxing debut against Jon Jackson from Fairbanks, Alaska. When Jackson entered the ring, Rocky mentioned that he “looks like he eats nails for breakfast.� While the southpaw Uluilakepa put up a spirited effort, it was clear that Jackson was the better boxer and walked away with a four-round unanimous decision. We were at the midway point of the night and with three locals still remaining on the bill, I was hoping the action would pick up,

and it did with the entrance of Jeremy McCleary from Buckley. From the sound of the EQC Ballroom, you would have thought the entire town of Buckley had showed up for the 4-0 undefeated 130-pounder. Making his pro debut against McCleary would be Benny “Dirty� Vinson from Portland, Oregon. While the newcomer showed some skill and heart, he wasn’t even close to matching the surprising skills of the kid from Buckley. At one point Derek leaned over to me and commented, “Dirty’s showing some pluck.� It just wasn’t going to be enough though, as McCleary moved to 5-0 with a four-round unanimous decision. It was now time for the fifth fight of the night. Derek seemed satisfied and comfortable having just finished his $5 EQC burger and it was back to business. Tacoma’s Harrison Bevens has been a monster in the CageSport octagon, but more recently has also delivered knockouts in his first two boxing contests. His opponent at 161 pounds would be Darryl Gardner, who was recently stopped by Cameron Sevilla-Rivera

at the Boat 96. Everyone was picking Bevens to win this fight. Everyone that is, except for a driven and hard-charging Gardner. Gardner was determined to set the pace of the fight from the get-go and Bevens was unable to turn the tide or compensate. Near the end of the first round, Gardner caught Bevens with an uppercut and hook combination that sent the crowd favorite briefly to the canvas. Bevens tried to assert himself more in the second round, but it was mostly Gardner having his way, as he would put Bevens on the ground again following a flurry of shots. Bevens got back up, but not as quickly as in the first round. In the third round, Gardner was all over Bevens. No matter where he moved to Gardner was pressing the attack and delivering blows. At 1:37 left in the third, referee Scobie stopped the fight feeling Bevens was about to go down again. The crowd did not appreciate it, and while I thought there was a good chance of it ending badly for him, you can’t discount the grit of a fighter like Bevens. He may have caught Gardner with a hook and changed the landscape of the fight, but we’ll never know. He’ll be back though. I’m sure of it.

game film and goes through more training than your average high schooler. Adding nearly 30 pounds of muscle has raised his stock collegiately and has helped advance his abilities. “His number one focus is to maximize his talent to help this football team,� said coach Kitna. “It’s a ton of fun coaching him. We went really slow with him last year and now he’s taken on so much more.� Throw in the return of outside linebacker and running back Justiss Warren and things are starting to cook for the Abes. The 6’ 4�, 225-pounder returns from a leg injury and looks stronger than ever. Free safety Dehonta Hayes is a pivotal piece in the defensive backfield, as well as at wide receiver. The two were named to the ESPN Top 100 in May for the upcoming season. Senior wide receiver Jayson Williams II is looked to be a cornerstone of the receiver The sixth fight of the night offered another boxing debut by an MMA fighter. Olympia’s Dennis “Superman� Hallman, having accumulated an impressive 53-15-2 record in the octagon, was ready to test his skills with the big gloves. The 180-pounder was matched-up against North Bend’s Frankie “the Battle Goat� Orr and the two fighters looked very mismatched to the naked eye. Hallman was musclebound and broad as a barn, while Orr was slighter of frame, but long. If there wasn’t a weigh-in, there’s no way I would have believed the two were even close to the same weight. Hallman came out looking determined, but stiff, while Orr was much more

corps. Williams has been getting looks and offers from D-1 programs and it may only increase with a successful and potent Abes offense. Lincoln’s offensive line averages nearly 290 pounds and is anchored by seniors Corey Brown, Ben King and Ben Puapuaga. Look for this crew to wear down defenses and open up second-half scoring opportunities for the Abes this season. Coach Kitna says that the players have bought into getting in prime shape and they’ve become leaner and stronger and collectively faster. Last year the raw speed of Lincoln was potent, but this season he sees it as a more “conditioned and trained speed.� Lincoln will host Puyallup on Sept. 12. Puyallup was a 4A state playoff team in 2013 and this game should be a measuring stick for the revamped Abes.

fluid and easy on his feet. The Battle Goat was active and dominant throughout the four rounds and took home a unanimous decision that wasn’t much of a surprise to the spectators. It wasn’t a bad fight, but there weren’t many fireworks. To close out the night it was time for Tacoma’s newest knockout artist. With four professional bouts and four knockouts, Cameron “The Freak� Sevilla-Rivera has been a machine in the ring. Standing in his way would be Spokane’s Dave “Insane� Courchaine at the 161-pound division. While looking a bit overmatched, Courchaine put together an admirable effort against Sevilla-Rivera. There were several times throughout the four-

rounder that it looked like Courchaine was starting to falter from strong blows from Sevilla-Rivera. However, he kept moving forward and stayed in the fight to the end. The crowd didn’t get the knockout they were gunning for but the kid from Tacoma got the unanimous decision to move to 5-0. In the end, I edged Rocky and Derek by one pick, but four out of seven correct isn’t really too much to brag about. What a fun time it was and I’m still amazed that it took me 41 years to make these live boxing outings a regular event. The next night of boxing at the Emerald Queen Casino will be Battle at the Boat 98 on Nov. 15. If you’re a fan of “the Sweet Science,� I highly recommend it.

and made it to the state 3A playoffs, falling to eventual runner-up Eastside Catholic on the road. That type of experience doesn’t just happen; you’ve got to earn it and the Abes plan on making the most of it this season. “We continue to preach to our kids that our greatest opponent is ourselves,� said coach Kitna. “We want to compete against our best every week. We’ve upped our level of competition with our league and nonleague schedule. “We didn’t play our best game last year against Eastside Catholic. A lot of those kids that played in those big games are still here.� Junior quarterback Jordan Kitna returns bigger, stronger and ready to shoulder command of a team he took over at a younger age than most are asked to at the big school level.

Eagles rock Tacoma Dome

PHOTO BY BILL BUNGARD

TAKIN’ IT EASY. The Eagles’ Timothy B. Schmit, Bernie Leadon, Don Henley and Glenn Frey play “Peaceful Easy Feeling� at the Tacoma Dome. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Even at the height of the Eagles’ phenomenal run as the kings of California country-rock in the ‘70s, band cofounder Don Henley couldn’t imagine the gravy train lasting much longer. “It’s something that you can’t do forever. This is not a lifetime career,� he muses, seen sporting a beard and ‘fro as a younger man in last year’s career-spanning “History of the Eagles� documentary. “It’s not?� his partner in crime, Glenn Frey, quips from off camera. It’s a richer punchline nearly four decades later. Forget how the band persevered through years of clashing egos, a tumultuous and nearly violent 1980 split and addictions that threatened to sideline guitarist Joe Walsh from

the reunion tour 14 years later. The Eagles’ “Very Best of � compilation is the best-selling album of the 20th century, for cryin’ out loud! Against the odds, the Eagles were back onstage Monday night at the Tacoma Dome, solidly two decades into their comeback run and kicking off the second leg of their North American tour. More than 12,000 fans showed up to cheer them on, soundly rebutting that classic dis from the Coen Brothers’ film, “The Big Lebowski� (the source of a popular Tacoma band’s name). Unlike the Dude, those fans loved the @#%@ing Eagles, and with good reason. The classic-rock band gave them their money’s worth with a thoughtful, comprehensive performance that hit most of the right marks. The show unfolded like an episode of VH1’s “Storytellers,� with band members looking back to their formative years and telling the stories behind their hits as they went. Henley and Frey were the first to emerge, easing into the set with “Saturday Night,� a pastoral, acoustic number from their western-themed 1973 album, “Desperado.� If the start of the set seemed overly subdued, Henley explained that it was meant to evoke the band’s early songwriting sessions from the spring of 1971. “You weren’t even here,� he said, to contradictory cheers. “You were? You probably remember more than I do.� That was around the time Henley and Frey made the fateful decision to quit their breakthrough gig, playing in Linda Ronstadt’s band, in pursuit of their own project. The first piece to their band puzzle was Bernie Leadon, who showed up to help play the night’s second selection, “Train Leaves Here This Morning,� a song he co-wrote. He’d famously quit the band by dumping a beer on Frey’s head in 1975 and hadn’t been in the fold for years. So his inclusion on the new tour was a pleasant surprise. Bass guitarist Timothy Schmit joined in for “Peaceful

Easy Feeling,� a hit for the Eagles in 1972; and resident wild man, Joe Walsh, rounded out the current lineup in time for a new, bluesy arrangement of “Witchy Woman,� the first song that featured Henley back in his original spot, on drums. The supporting cast included veteran guitarist Steuart Smith, Will Hollis on percussion and keyboards and Michael Thompson on keys and backing vocals. The band’s trademark harmonies still sounded sweet Monday night, though singer-bassist Randy Meisner’s higher range was missed on his signature number, “Take it to the Limit.� Health issues forced him off the tour, and Frey sang lead after dedicating the number to his ailing bandmate. Among the most well-received numbers of the evening were “Heartache Tonight,� a song that brought most of the crowd to its feet, “Lyin’ Eyes,� which Frey comically dedicated to his first wife, “Plaintiff � and “Life in the Fast Lane,� which the band took a bow with later on. In between, Walsh injected some welcome energy into the set as the band performed a few of his solo numbers. The “King of Hotel Trash� got a bit of call-and-response help from the crowd during his freewheeling 1978 hit “Life’s Been Good,� and “Rocky Mountain Way� was the highlight of the second encore, with the guitarist soaring over the Rockies wearing a goofy superhero getup in the video backdrop. The peak of Monday’s performance, though, was “Hotel California,� the group’s signature song about losing innocence. It’s one of the great rock performances of the ‘70s, thanks to Don Felder’s elegant guitar melody, Henley’s stark, piercing lyrics and Walsh’s cathartic solo at the end. Sadly, Felder hasn’t been in the fold since he was fired in 2001, and he seems unlikely to return (lawyers got involved.) But Smith did a solid job, wielding a double-necked guitar in his place. Set list: “Saturday Night,� “Train Leaves Here This Morning,� “Witchy Woman,� “Doolin-Dalton,� “Tequila Sunrise,� “Doolin-Dalton/Desperado (reprise),� “Already Gone,� “The Best of My Love,� “Lyin’ Eyes,� “One of These Nights,� “Take it to the Limit,� “Pretty Maids All in a Row,� “I Can’t Tell You Why,� “New Kid in Town,� “Love Will Keep Us Alive,� “Heartache Tonight,� “Those Shoes,� “In the City� (Joe Walsh), “Life’s Been Good� (Joe Walsh), “The Long Run,� “Funk No. 49� (James Gang), “Life in the Fast Lane� First encore: “Hotel California� Second encore: “Take It Easy,� “Rocky Mountain Way�

‘Over the Salish Sea’

New works by Shaun Peterson at Brooks Dental Studio

CULTURE CORNER

A GUIDE TO THE MUSEUMS OF TACOMA

Muesum of the Week: Buffalo Soldier Museum

1940 S. Wilkeson St. Wed. and Sat., 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Info: http://www.buffalosoldierstacoma.org

By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

Shaun Peterson is one of Tacoma’s finest artists. An enrolled member of the Puyallup Tribe (his native name is Qwalsius), Peterson combines traditional Salish themes and styles with modern media: carved wood, cut and etched metal, sandblasted glass, silk screen printing, giclée prints, paints, engraved silver and 3-D digital software. In Tacoma, Peterson is perhaps best known for his 2010 “Welcome Figure,” the colossal, cedar woman in traditional Salish dress that anchors Tollefson Plaza. Such figures were traditionally made by the Salish people of the region and Peterson suggested one for Tacoma when approached to do a totem pole. In 2013, Peterson won the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation’s prestigious Foundation of Art Award. The foundation cited Peterson’s role as a bridge between the past and the future as a central reason in his being chosen for the award. Peterson is the creative force behind much of the Salish-themed art along upper Portland Avenue and Puyallup Tribal building projects. This summer Peterson is in the process of relocating south to Portland in order to follow his fiancé, who landed a job at Nike headquarters located in that city. A kind of farewell show of some of Peterson’s recent works is currently on display at Brooks Dental Studio located at 732 Broadway along Tacoma’s antiques row. “People wanted me to do a show in Tacoma before I go,” said Peterson in a recent

The 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers Museum’s mission is to educate, preserve and present the history and outstanding contributions made by America’s Buffalo Soldiers from 1866-1945, including WWII (1941-1945). The mission is achieved through educational programs, historic research, youth outreach programs and exhibits. The museum creates and disseminates knowledge about the history of the Buffalo Soldiers and their service and contributions. This is the story of the building of the Western frontier. This is the forgotten story of American history. AUG

interview. “Jamie Brooks (of Brooks Dental) provided the opportunity to do this hometown show.” The show, entitled “Over the Salish Sea: Exploring Metals to Celebrate Northwest Coastal Culture,” consists of sculpture, giclée prints, silver jewelry and hand-carved cedar boxes. High quality photographs of the artist at work also adorn the walls. There are several versions of metal orca fins with elaborate, flowing Salish designs cut through the metal. Mounted on wooden bases, these fins are done in various finishes: some in two-tone paint jobs, others with areas exposed to the elements so that oxidation may occur. Several of Peterson’s bold Northwest coast designs, such as “Frog and Crescent Moon,” adorn the walls. Peterson’s silver earrings and pendants are engraved with designs of wolf, raven and thunderbird. “I’ve gotten back into engraving silver the last couple of months,” he noted.

Behind the reception desk is a striking giclée print image that combines the traditional with the contemporary. Called “Setting the Path,” the scene shows the fins and backs of a pair of whales that have surfaced beneath a full moon. Mount Rainier looms in the background. The face of the moon and the fins of the whales are done in Salish designs. There is a dramatic atmosphere to the scene that speaks something primordial, a hearkening to the beginning of things. Peterson said that future plans include doing more with 3-D computer software. Despite his move to Portland, Peterson does not intend to lose contact with the Puget Sound region. He will continue to work on local art projects and seek commissions in our area. He is scheduled to exhibit a one-man show in Seattle’s Stonington Gallery in March 2015. The Brooks Dental show is a precursor to that exhibit. For further information, visit www. qwalsius.com.

STORM LARGE IN CONCERT SEPT. 4 By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Portland cabaret singer Storm Large (real name) has the reputation of being a potty mouth. Maybe it’s that set staple she sings about having an impossibly large vagina. Or maybe it’s her penchant for pushing buttons with her racy onstage banter. Large recalled a few R-rated performances at Tacoma’s Jazzbones, a club she once headlined regularly. “I used to be as offensive as I could at those shows ‘cause it’s a military town,� she said, alluding to a particularly graphic bit she did about Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld expressing forbidden love at the Watergate Hotel. “My piano player, James, says, ‘You keep going until someone leaves,’� she said. “It was just sort of a game for us in some places that had a slightly more conservative edge to them. I got two people to leave, and James was very pleased.� Laughing she added, “We don’t do that anymore.� Fans will see a kinder, gentler Storm Large when the amazonian bombshell headlines Broadway Center’s Theatre on the Square on Sept. 4. Well, maybe not too much gentler. But a lot has changed since she and her old band, the Balls, last appeared locally. For starters, she now performs with popular Portland chamber pop group Pink Martini, circumstances set in motion after her friend China Forbes, the band’s lead singer, had to have surgery on her vocal chords in 2011. “They had four soldout shows at the Kennedy Center in less than a week, and so they’re panicking,� she said. Bandleader Thomas Lauderdale gave her the hard sell, insisting that she fill in. “When I finally said yes, I learned 10 songs in five different languages in four days.

with ear buds, with the songs. It was so scary.� She continued to fill in as Forbes recuperated. “It was a rough year. I was on the road probably 250 days and just broken – exhausted. It was a unique and interesting situation, but it turned out really great.� Forbes has been back with Pink Martini for a while, and appeared with the group at Tacoma’s Pantages Theater in April. But Large continues to perform with the group, a gig that has opened a few doors. With the Balls, she was known as a punk-rock torch singer; but these days it’s not unusual to see her performing selections from the Great American Songbook with the Oregon Symphony. “All of a sudden symphonies are like, ‘Oh, you don’t have Tourette’s,’� she joked. “People will come, and they’ve been hearing about me for years, but they have kids so they can’t always go out when they want to. Suddenly, the front row is full of moms with 5- to 10-year-olds.� In the face of such shifting demographics she’s learned to be more subversive with her humor. “I’m still the same mouthy and opinionated woman I’ve ever been,� she said. “But I have found that if I can swing it properly, I can avoid swearing and be just as provocative and incendiary.� Her old-school fans shouldn’t be too worried about her toning down the f-bombs, though. She still does the song about her lady parts. “We do ‘Eight Miles Wide,’� she said. “Any mother in the house wants to hear that song so bad, and a lot of grandmas. I sometimes adjust lyrics in songs if it’s just too

harsh. But ‘Eight Miles Wide’ is kind of a staple. I don’t consider that a dirty song.� On Sept. 4, Large will be showcasing her new band and performing songs from her new covers album, both called “Le Bonheur.� That’s French for “the happiness.� Get your mind out of the gutter. Expect campy interpretations of material by Black Sabbath, Bad Brains, Lou Reed and more. “I believe it’s a better sounding album than I’ve ever made,� she said. “It’s awesome. I’m really excited about it. You’re gonna hear what you would normally hear at the symphony with me, plus a couple of Balls favorites re-imagined.� On a more serious note, Large spoke to Tacoma Weekly the day after she and her Pink Martini bandmates learned that recently departed drummer Derek Rieth had committed suicide. Though she spoke candidly about the tragedy, she requested her comments remain off the record. The story has since been widely reported, and Pink Martini issued the following statement: “Derek was a beloved son, brother, friend and colleague whose beautiful heart and passion for music touched thousands of lives. He will be deeply missed. A private memorial service for friends and family is planned for early September. Public tributes will be ongoing, and the family has also announced the creation of the Derek Rieth Foundation, to provide musical instruments and music education to underprivileged young people. Donations to the Derek Rieth Foundation can be sent care of Pink Martini.�

HERB GODDESS HOROSCOPE Kerri Bailey is a horticulturist and a certified herbalist. She makes custom blends and consults at Ubiquitous Journey (www.UBJourney.com) on 6th Avenue. Kerri owns two businesses – the online herb store www.HerbalElements.net and a water garden store inside Alpine Nursery in South Hill (www.AlpineGrows.com) called The Pond Pad (www.ThePondPad.com). She writes blogs on gardening, ponds, natural health and herbal remedies and teaches classes through Free University (www.FreeUNW.com).

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) We attract into our world what is reflected inside of ourselves. What is your powerfully magnetic personality attracting to you? Reflect on this and focus on positive ways to change negative thoughts, habits and feelings. With time it will come with ease.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Our brains can only focus on one thing at a time. What we choose to focus on becomes who we are. Choose your focus wisely in order to be who you truly want to be. We attract what we put out into the universe. So who and what are you attracting to you?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Life is full of significant inspirations. Recognize and seize all possibilities, making them your reality. If we can’t see, feel and believe in what we want in life, then it will never happen. Imagine that you already possess all the tools needed for success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) It is a proven fact that history repeats itself. Our wrong choices will continue until we make necessary changes in our personal attitudes and break negative cycles. Once we can accomplish this, our life lessons begin to unfold, allowing us to learn from our past.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Everything in the Universe is ultimately connected. Each step we take leads to the next, propelling us into our personal growth patterns. How are you connecting with those around you? Are you on the path that you want to be on? It’s yours to command.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) What we resist will persist. It’s annoying, yet true. What we refuse to accept in our lives will continue until we get it right. Accept your lessons, letting go of the past. Free yourself of old patterns that no longer serve you. Give back to the world with love.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) We mirror what surrounds us, and what surrounds us mirrors us. Whenever there is something wrong in our lives, there is something wrong within us. Taking full responsibility for our actions in a fair and loving manner can be very empowering and uplifting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) If you believe in something as being the truth, then you may be called upon to voice that truth. There is much power in your convictions. Standing up for truth may not be easy, but you have the willingness to do so by demonstrating it in your life. Keep it up.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Wherever you go, that is where you are. You arrived there for a reason. The only way for us to grow is to change. Start by letting go of the past – outdated thoughts, unhealthy habits and emotional wounds. Avoid those that act as emotional “vampires.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Karma begins and ends with love. The ultimate goal of karma is to bring us to a divine state of love, joy and awareness. We inspire each other through loving and significant contributions. Examine what you have been currently contributing to karma.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) All rewards in life require an amount of work. Patience is required to accomplish this work. When we are on the path we are supposed to be on, patience has its own reward. All things are possible when we work hard and believe in who we are and what we do.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Living in the “now” may be a hard concept for you. Thoughts of the past and obsessively planning for the future may have you distracted. Enjoy today, for what it is, as it leads to tomorrow. Focus on your “now,” which will give shape to your limitless future.
