SAFE. Community activism against crime and blight will remain at the core of Safe Streets, but the effort will expand by connecting current efforts by a host of programs.

CHANGES FOR FORMER PHOENIX HOUSING NETWORK

“If you relax, those issues come back.”

Safe Streets began during what long-time Tacomans will remember as one of the darkest patches of our city’s history. Gangs and drug dealers ruled many streets of the City of Destiny in 1989, and neighbors wanted their streets back. The non-profit was formed and called together neighborhoods to take action with block watches,

Community Services Family Housing Network is based in this refurbished building in the South Tacoma Business District. By Kathleen Merryman kathleen@tacomaweekly.com

The former Phoenix Housing Network is settling into a new location, a refined mission and a new name: Catholic Community Services Family Housing Network. Staff, led by director Alan Brown, have moved into the building Family Housing Network (FHN) bought and refurbished at 5050 South Tacoma Way, in the heart of the diverse historic business district. Outside, the three-story brick building has fresh red and green paint. Inside, it is developing new connections to get homeless families and veterans resettled and hooked up with the services they need to stabilize their lives. The program was founded on the Stone Soup model in the 1980s. Then, as now, Pierce County’s shelters for homeless families fell short of the need. People of faith and purpose looked at what they had – their own churches and schools and people who can cook for a crowd – and came up with a way to turn them into emergency housing: They hosted the families in their community rooms and classrooms. Once a week, members of the

ast year’s passage of the $500 million bond package kick-started a roster of school renovations and projects that will last a decade. Most of that money will be used to replace 14 schools around the district as well as fund nearly 200 health, safety, security and other upgrades at just about every school in the district. Work has already been completed at Washington Elementary School, which received a $28 million facelift, for example, while another 185 school improvements and safety upgrades are underway district wide totaling $45 million to replace roofs, upgrade playgrounds and repair sports fields.

Fife Schools community mourns A5

Pierce County Superior Court Judge Ronald Culpepper issued a ruling Aug. 29 in the case of a marijuana-based business suing the City of Fife over its ban against pot shops within the city limits. The case drew arguments from the Attorney General’s office as well as from the American Civil Liberties Union because of the city’s argument that it enacted the ban because marijuana is still considered an illegal drug in the eyes of federal officials even with the state’s passage of Initiative 502 that allowed pot shops. Culpepper ruled after a summary judgment hearing that nothing in I-502 overrides local governments’ pre-existing authority to regulate local businesses, including marijuana businesses through zoning or otherwise, so Fife could continue to ban pot shops. Because the court agreed with an earlier AGO opinion that claimed I-502 did not require local governments to allow marijuana businesses, Culpepper never had to address whether federal law preempts I-502. This allows I-502 to continue to be implemented. But it also allows Fife’s ban to remain. “My office aggressively worked to uphold the will of the voters,” said Attorney General Bob Ferguson. “Today’s ruling affirms the opinion of my office earlier this year and allows Initiative 502 to continue to be implemented in Washington State. As I have said from the beginning, the drafters of Initiative 502 could have required local jurisdictions to allow the

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

St. Helens and Division 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.

Bulletin Board ;(*64( 70,9*, *6<5;@ (09 8<(30;@ /0;: ;/, 4(92 After years of hard work to reduce air pollution, a plan is being submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency that shows greater Tacoma and surrounding communities meet a federal air pollution standard. Tacoma and Pierce County violated the federal air standard for fine particles from 2006-2008, which exposed the public to harmful air pollution, caused economic impacts to businesses and citizens, and resulted in EPA designating the area in a state of nonattainment. The fine particle pollution, at the heart of the violation, is primarily caused from residents burning wood to heat homes during winter. “It’s vital to public health that we meet federal air quality standards,â€? said Stu Clark, Ecology Air Quality program manager. “Efforts from residents, businesses, and community leaders are paying off, but it’s critical to remain focused so we continue to achieve healthier air quality levels.â€? Because of the violation, EPA requires Ecology and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency to submit a revision (a plan) to the State Implementation Plan. The plan shows the improvement in air quality in Tacoma and Pierce County, and outlines how to maintain and continue to decrease fine particle pollution in the area. The plan also illustrates how the area will continue to meet the federal standard for the next 10 years. If the plan is accepted, the area will be re-designated as meeting federal standards (in attainment status) and avoid further action by EPA. Puget Sound Clean Air Agency worked closely with Ecology and a community task force to reduce harmful wintertime particle pollution. These efforts continue to be implemented in the area. Solutions to the air pollution issue include: ¡ Removal of all non-certified wood stoves in the nonattainment area by September 2015. An incentive program is in place to help residents remove and replace their older, polluting stoves. ¡ Community education and outreach. ¡ Enhancing burn ban enforcement. The public is invited to comment on the plan, which can be reviewed on ecology’s website at http://www.ecy.wa.gov or in person at Ecology Headquarters, 300 Desmond Drive, Lacey, Wash. Citizens also can request a mailed copy of the plan by calling (360) 407-6826. Comments are being accepted by email to AQComments@ecy.wa.gov, or mail to Joanna Ekrem, Washington Department of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, Wash. 98504-7600. Comments will be accepted through Oct. 3, 2014. Ecology is hosting a presentation and public hearing for the community. Testimony and written comments can be submitted at the public hearing on Sept. 30 at the Tacoma Public Library (Olympic room), 1102 Tacoma Ave. S., 6 p.m. Hearing contact: Joanna Ekrem, (360) 407-6826, joanna. ekrem@ecy.wa.gov +0:;05.<0:/,+ >64,5 ;6 ), /6569,+ (; :;(9 *,5;,9 The Women of Color Health Awareness Committee of Pierce County (WOC) will honor some of Tacoma’s most distinguished women on the 10th Annual Women of Color Health Awareness Day, Sept. 6, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at STAR Center, 3873 66th St., Tacoma.

Lomax’s goals for keeping Pierce County Library relevant include focusing on tech innovation, workforce development and finding ways to further support the military population. She also has a personal interest in further connecting the library with the Native American community. “As libraries exit the recession, they can look back and try to rebuild what was, or they can look forward and ask what they must now become,� said Lomax. “We choose to move forward. We will determine our future using guidance from the community and the resources and creativity of our staff. I know for sure that includes providing much-needed services, great books for readers, and the library playing a major role in the community.�

Teacher sentenced in rape case On Aug. 29, former Lincoln High School teacher Meredith Powell was sentenced on two counts of Rape of a Child in the Third Degree and one count of Communicating with a Minor for Immoral Purposes. The court imposed a sentence of 60 months, the high-end of the standard sentencing range, and granted a Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative (SSOSA). Under the SSOSA imposed by the court, Powell will serve six months in the Pierce County Jail with 54 months suspended on the condition that she comply with court ordered sex offender treatment, register as a sex offender, have law abiding behavior and have no contact with the minor victims. Failure to comply with any of the court ordered conditions can result in revocation of the SSOSA and Powell could serve the full 60 months. Powell pled guilty to the charges on July 23. The defendant had been a math teacher at Lincoln High School. On Jan. 17, one of the victims went to the defendant’s classroom instead of attending the school’s Martin Luther King Day assembly. The two kissed and engaged in sexual activity. A few days after the assembly, the defendant engaged in sexual activity in her classroom with a second victim. They kissed and the defendant performed oral sex on this victim. Between the period of Jan. 17 and Jan. 28, the defendant exchanged explicit text messages with a third victim. On Feb. 3, the defendant wrote a letter to the girlfriend of one of the victims. She apologized for the “promiscuous� and “unprofessional� comments and texts. The girlfriend showed the letter to school administrators and the defendant was placed on administrative leave. Detectives arrested the defendant on Feb. 6.

ARTISTS 4 LIFE IN THE SOUND WELCOME DR. JOHN STARK On Friday, Sept. 5 a new experience unique to the South Sound takes place when preeminent world scholar Dr. John Stark presents his work in the context of the South Puget Sound on a global scale. He will be speaking at The Northern Pacific Coffee Company located near Pacific Lutheran University at 401 Garfield St. Doors open at 7 p.m. and entry is by donation only, $15-$5 suggested by a sliding scale. Stark is a working scholar whose efforts have led to historic change at the Washington State and European Union legislatures, invisibly bettering life in the region for loved ones and families. His work illuminates Universal principles of life, including the effects of toxins on the living environment, the long-term effects of reduction of reproductive rates on the survival of species in the wild and the cumulative effects of concentration of toxins in the body

as those substances are ingested. Stark’s work has an emphasis on marine wildlife, and he has recently returned from Washington, D.C. where he was interviewed as the academic arm of a two-member panel regards the economic impact of shellfish and salmon life in the South Puget Sound. A current and unquestionable world authority at the highest branches of his field, this night we honor, recognize and hear from a man that has had an invaluable effect on South Sound life, and pay homage to him with a musical score from Bach to Rock and engage in a Q&A conversation after a short presentation of his work from his own lips. Artists 4 Life in the Sound is proud to host an evening to recognize one of its own who has bettered the quality of life we and families share, and hope you consider joining in this first event of its kind.

After a concerned citizen on 82nd Street heard a woman screaming in a neighboring apartment on Aug. 31, she contacted police to investigate the scene. What the police found were a highly intoxicated man and woman, claiming nothing was wrong, and the woman was simply having her neighbor over to hang out. After retrieving the names of the plastered pair, police discovered a restraining order was in place, restricting the man from coming within 200 feet of the woman. Since the man lived next to her, he was breaking this court order a good majority of the time. The subject was booked into Fife Jail. “Officer� and “sir� are both acceptable names to call a police officer, “white bottom feeding cracker head� is probably not. But one criminal didn’t quite seem to understand that when he was arrested on J Street on Aug. 31. A police officer had been observing a group the man was walking with after several complaints of disturbances. The officer approached him and asked what was going on. The man proved to be a little uncooperative, unleashing several slurs on the officer, including the aforementioned line. The man continued to be uncooperative as the officer found a used crack pipe on him, laughing it off as a “nothing� charge. The man was booked into Fife Jail for disorderly conduct.

ALL FOR ONE. Even Rainiers’ mascot Rhubarb gets into the festivities at the AIDS Walk, along with all the generous walkers and hard-working volunteers that make the event one of the South Sound’s best outdoor fundraisers.

Just because there’s a hint of fall in the air doesn’t mean Tacomans are ready for hibernation mode. Quite the contrary in fact, as the city’s annual South Sound AIDS Walk is slated to happen on Saturday, Sept. 20. Hundreds are expected to turn out for this fun and diverse event, attracting individuals and families alike, and it all kicks off at 9 a.m. at Cheney Stadium. Each year at this time volunteers are working hard to present an event that’s at once a fundraiser, memorial to those who have passed, and a celebration of life, while caring people form teams of friends and family to help raise money for Pierce County AIDS Foundation’s clients served in Pierce and Thurston counties. This year’s goal is to raise $75,000. With funds raised at the Walk, PCAF provides support to more than 700 people who are currently living with the disease and reaches thousands more with prevention outreach. The South Sound AIDS Walk also acts as the only such walk to benefit Olympia, where PCAF has had an office since 2012. “We really encourage people from Olympia to come,� Rose said, “because

the money raised helps Olympia too. This is the only ‘Olympia’ walk – we’re it.� In addition to the friendly camaraderie and upbeat atmosphere that always permeate the AIDS Walk, there will be some great entertainment including Tacoma’s own powerhouse performer, singer and songwriter Kim Archer. “We are thrilled to have Kim Archer performing for us. We’re very excited about that,� said PCAF’s Director of Development and Communications Jill Rose. Another highlight will be returning emcee Amanda Westbrooke, host on TV Tacoma. PCAF Executive Director Duane Wilkerson will give the official welcome – and be sure to keep an ear out for a big announcement that will be made from the stage concerning some great news for PCAF. There will be bright red ribbons to wave in the breeze as walkers walk, art projects to get involved in and resource booths to visit from local non-profits. The walk starts on the Cheney Stadium play field and heads off to a nature trail then back to the stadium for a total of just over two miles. Before heading out to walk, though, participants can fuel up on complimentary pastries and coffee then after the Walk for lunch enjoy a pulled pork sandwich bar courtesy of Dickies

Barbecue Pit. This year’s theme is “It’s More Than Just a Walk,� and while this has been true for all AIDS walks, Wilkerson said this year the theme is especially true given that AIDS is still among us in 2014, approaching approximately 35 years since the disease became a worldwide epidemic. “The 2014 AIDS Walk bears witness to two important messages that we want the community to hear and to act upon,� Wilkerson said. “One is a longtime message, and one is a new hopeful message. The longtime message is that we walk, openly and proudly, with people living with HIV who still experience the stigma that has been an ugly part of this epidemic from the beginning. It is time for the stigma to end! “The new message is that while the epidemic is not over, it could be in the foreseeable future IF we put our focus and efforts to end HIV.� Wilkerson invited very person reading this article to “come join us and be part of the message yourself!� Rose echoed Wilkerson’s invitation. “Your being [at the walk] makes an impact the whole year long, and it helps throughout the year.� Young people in particular are encouraged to attend, as they bring a fresh

perspective to the Walk. “Over the years, fewer people are coming for the memorial aspect of the walk and more are coming for the social justice aspect,� Rose said. “Youth who come often don’t know someone who died of AIDS because things are different now but they do care about social justice and equality.� This reflects Wilkerson’s call to join these youth and help end the hurtful social stigma associated with HIV/AIDS.

FIFE SCHOOLS COMMUNITY MOURNS THE DEATH OF JOHN MCCROSSIN Public celebration of life to be held Sept. 13 in Fife High gym

FILE PHOTOS

A LIFETIME IN EDUCATION. (Above) During his year as superintendent, McCrossin shown here with school board members, was able to present the district’s annual awards to deserving personnel, including Marie Gibson (holding flowers), last year’s certificated employee of the year. (Right) McCrossin enjoyed his time visiting elementary schools students, as his warm smile (below) was key to his success with learners of any age. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

Amid the hustle and bustle of a new school year starting, thoughts and memories of Superintendent John McCrossin remain in the minds and hearts of the Fife Schools community. Less than six months into his position as the district’s newlyappointed superintendent, McCrossin was diagnosed with cancer and began taking chemotherapy treatments. He continued working as he always had, choosing to not let the diagnosis take him away from his duties nor the school district he loved so much, but he passed away on Tuesday, Aug. 26. A public celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 1 p.m. in the Fife High School gymnasium. The McCrossin family requests that remembrances be made to the Fife High School Scholarship Foundation, PO Box 1270, Milton, WA 98354. As superintendent, McCrossin put his all into nurturing the growth of Fife Schools, calling upon his many years of broad experiences gained from being an educator and coach hungry for knowledge and challenges. McCrossin was a student of life itself, as much a learner as he was

a teacher, always deeply interested in everything and everyone he encountered. “He literally touched thousands of families in his teaching career,� said Fife School Board President Bob Scheidt, who was friends with McCrossin for more than 25 years. “Just like many other people in the community, he helped nurture my children. How do you repay a man for that? All my children went through the Fife School District and John touched their lives and I’m thankful for that.�

Scheidt said that McCrossin had already put a plan in place for the 2014/15 school year and that’s the plan the district is staying with. As the school board was made aware of McCrossin’s cancer diagnosis months ago, the board prepared itself for the possibility of the worst outcome concerning the superintendent’s health. “[District administration] has met with building personnel and teachers and John’s vision for this year is in place. We’re going to make sure that as a district

we carry that forward this year.� Born on Jan. 30, 1956 in Dayton, Ohio, McCrossin graduated Lakes High School in 1974. He immediately enlisted in the Navy, serving onboard the USS Trenton as a personnelman, until 1976. From there he earned an Associate Degree from Tacoma Community College and a Bachelor of Science degree from Western Washington University, 1982. He took his first job in education at Fife School District that same year as a teacher and coach – actually a “jack of all trades,� which was the case for teachers in those days when they taught practically any subject requested of them. Even though he would move on to other local school districts during his career, he always came back to Fife. McCrossin was a living example of what “Fife for Life� truly means, for his life revolved around the city and school district in which he and his wife of 34 years (and Lincoln High School teacher), Connie McCrossin, raised their two sons (and Fife High graduates) Kyle and Kevin. McCrossin enjoyed reading, golf, traveling, clamming and puttering but his greatest enjoyment was his family. X See MCCROSSIN / page A6

W McCrossin Always interested in exploring new things, McCrossin left Fife Schools for a while beginning in 1989. At Lincoln High School, in the Tacoma School District, he taught social studies and was head basketball coach. He earned a Master of Education in Educational Administration degree from University of Puget Sound in 1995, and completed an administrative internship while at Lincoln, serving as athletic director. That same year McCrossin moved on to the Sumner School District where he taught for one year at the junior high level and was head basketball coach and attendance coordinator. In 1999 he went to work for the Puyallup School District as assistant principal then came back to Fife for good in 2000 when thenFife High School Principal Jeff Short recruited McCrossin as his assistant principal. McCrossin was later promoted to principal at the high school, and it was during this time that he earned his superintendent certification from Seattle Pacific University (2004). In 2007, he was made principal at Surprise Lake Middle School (SLMS), which gave him new experiences to learn all about what

goes on in the elementary schools and basic instruction. After four years at SLMS, former Superintendent Steve McCammon approached McCrossin about coming to the district level as director of student services, which included the job of food services coordinator. This presented a brand new learning opportunity for McCrossin, as during this time he worked in Fife’s human resources department overseeing classified employees and he also took a place at the table among the district’s contract bargaining team, which provided him experience in how school finances operate, giving him an even bigger picture. In 2013, McCrossin embarked on perhaps his biggest challenge as superintendent of the Fife School District. Considering McCrossin’s experience in so many different types of school districts and positions, Fife School Board President Bob Scheidt said the board was then, and is now, proud of its decision to have chosen McCrossin for the superintendent position. “It was a tough decision because there were other candidates that were qualified as well, but with the longevity John had in

the district, we felt strongly that he should be the one,� Scheidt said. “To John’s credit, he knew there were things he needed to prepare himself for this – the different degrees he earned and positions he held. He was very qualified to run the district.� Ask any of his co-workers and they will say that McCrossin’s stellar career in education was borne on the rare combination of personal and professional gifts that made him a beloved coach, teacher, principal, superintendent and friend to all who knew him. Reflecting his take-charge attitude and enthusiasm for his job, one of the first things McCrossin did as superintendent was to reorganize the office by instituting two new positions to assist him. He promoted Kevin Alfano from principal at Endeavour Intermediate School to Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Schools and then brought on Ben Ramirez from the Yakama School District as Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools. “He was a guy who would get up at 4:30 in the morning, read, go to the gym then come to the office. And that didn’t stop when he was diagnosed with cancer,� said Alfano. “I got the sense that being superintendent was in the top five of his bucket list, so working after being diag-

nosed with cancer wasn’t even an option. He loved doing that and he loved his routine of coming to work and going home.� While he knew McCrossin only for a short time, Ramirez said that upon meeting McCrossin and Alfano, he knew right away that working in Fife Schools would be a great experience. “I knew this would be a good fit for me and an interesting team to work with. They had a ‘let’s go forward’ mentality and I hit it off with them pretty quickly.� “We spent hours having deep conversations about (McCrossin’s) vision of this district and how to put that vision into action,� Alfano said. This is the type of inspiring leader McCrossin was, and there was probably no better place for him to have honed this skill than on the basketball court. To say that McCrossin loved the game is an understatement – he fell in love with the game in college and that love never wavered. In fact, he continued working with University of Puget Sound basketball players up until a couple of months before his death. His love for the game touched everything he did, as lessons learned on the hardwood often cross over to life itself. It was through basketball that McCrossin met one of his closest friends in the mid-1980s,

Fife Municipal Court Judge Kevin Ringus. “He had the gift of no matter who he came across, if you gave him the opportunity he would enhance your life,� Ringus said. “It didn’t matter what the scenario or what you were dealing with, he’d sit there and talk to you about it and you’d feel better when you left the conversation.� Ringus said this was especially apparent when McCrossin worked as principal at SLMS. Even though at more than 6-feet tall McCrossin towered over his young charges physically, on the inside he was at their level when it came to how he interacted with the little learners. “He just blended right in,� Ringus said. “He could sit with a third-grader and make that student feel like it was his show.� “He had a passion for the game and a passion to teach,� Alfano said. “He took that passion into his general leadership as a building principal and superintendent as well – knowing your team. He put his heart and soul into being superintendent as he did in coaching – he did everything with purpose. As a person, McCrossin’s character drew people to him because he really did care and people could sense it. “He was genuinely interested in people,� Alfano said. “It didn’t matter who stopped by, he always had time. And if you stopped by, it wasn’t for a minute or two; it was always a good conversation. He was genuinely interested in your life.� McCrossin had a gift

for accentuating the positive, even encouraging telephone callers to keep the sunny side up. This was the size of the man’s heart. “His voicemail and e-mails for years always ended with ‘make it a great day,’ Alfano said. “He truly believed that everybody could make it a great day no matter what.� Alfano also commented on what a thoughtful man McCrossin always was. “On his calendar he had the birthday of every person that works in this district office so he could make sure he sent a card.� “This goes back to everything he did had purpose,� Ringus said. Alfano said McCrossin made remarkable accomplishments in just his one year as superintendent, leaving the district wellpositioned for the future. “This past year was probably the biggest change in education in Fife in a lot of years with the new teacher evaluations and Common Core. We did that seamlessly because of his vision. “If you look at his educational accomplishments as a superintendent in one year, we passed a levy, we finished contracts with our teachers, principals associations and classified employees, and started all day kindergarten,� among other things. “At heart he was always a coach,� Ramirez said, “and great coaches leave great plans and he left a great plan for our district. Things are in good shape because of the work he started. People should be comfortable that we’re in a good place.�

Boeing 777 may replace Air Force One By Don C. Brunell It’s about time to replace Air Force One, the president’s plane; however, the new version may not be a Boeing 747. It may be a 777. President Barack Obama’s 2014 budget allocated $1.14 billion through 2018 for the research and development of a new presidential jet. The total includes one replacement aircraft, which could be purchased in 2017. While the Pentagon prefers the fourengine 747, there are a couple of other important factors to consider. There is no question that the safety and security of the president are paramount, but increasingly, cost is also a factor. Flying Air Force One is expensive. In 2012, the Congressional Research Service estimated it cost $179,750 per hour to operate. In 2013, it jumped to $228,000 per hour. Judicial Watch reported that taxpayers paid $7.3 million for the first family’s 2012-2013 Christmas vacation flights to Hawaii, their 2013 beach vacation on Martha’s Vineyard and for Obama to dine with fundraiser and DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and appear on the “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno�. When Air Force One is used for political purposes, campaign organizations must reimburse the U.S. Treasury an amount “equivalent of the airfare that they would have paid had they used a commercial airline,� according to the Congressional

Research Service. Like his predecessors, President Obama often piggybacks official events onto his fundraising trips, which further reduces the amount campaign organizations must pay. Oddly, the formula to determine what campaigns pay is a secret. Meredith McGehee, policy director at the Campaign Legal Center, says the reimbursement rate on mixed events has remained a mystery over the course of several presidencies and only the White House counsel knows the formula. So, for taxpayers, it may be better for the Pentagon to switch to the more fuel efficient Boeing 777. Other governments are doing just that. The Japanese government is trading in its 747s for the 777X, which is as spacious as the 747 and costs less to fly. It will pay an estimated $832 million for the jets, which will go into service in 2019. However, the Pentagon would prefer a modified 747-800, the jumbo airplane the company introduced a few years ago to capture a bigger share of the air freight market. But slumping sales of 747s may force Boeing to discontinue the 747 production line long before the Pentagon is ready to decide. Orders for the 747 may stretch only through 2016. The current 30-year life cycle for the current Air Force One twins is up in 2017. The good news is that, whichever plane the Pentagon chooses to replace

Air Force One – the 777X or the 787-800 – it will be a Boeing aircraft assembled in Everett. The Puget Sound Business Journal’s Steve Wilhelm watches Boeing closely. He doesn’t envision a battle between Airbus and Boeing like that which occurred a couple years ago when the Air Force asked for bids to replace the aging KC-135 refuelers. Wilhelm quoted Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute: “The government might accept bids from companies other than Boeing, but it isn’t going to buy an Airbus plane and the integration challenge of turning a 747 into the next generation Air Force One is just too demanding for anyone other than Boeing.� With America drowning in a $17.7 trillion debt, controlling government spending is essential. Among other things, Congress and the president must take a fresh look at how Air Force One is utilized and the true reimbursement cost for presidential fundraising trips. As for presidential vacations and personal use of Air Force One, put the First Family on a budget just like other working families. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.

Progress in Pakistan depends on women’s participation By Rizwan Zulfiqar Bhutta Women have a vital role in the progress of human society. Yet, women’s contributions to progress aren’t always acknowledged by or even included in history books. In her 1998 book, “You Can’t Kill the Spirit: Women and Nonviolent Action,� writer Pam McAllister spotlights stories, struggles and contributions of women all over the world – stories that are often hidden in plain sight. The latest story comes from Pakistan, where local women are actively working toward social and political change at this very moment. Pakistan has been in political turmoil for the past three weeks due to ongoing anti-government direct actions by two opposition parties. Supporters of Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) initiated their separate marches on Aug. 14 – the day Pakistan’s independence is celebrated. There are two main reasons for this movement: the PTI and PTA are calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over allegations of election rigging and the brutal killing of 14 unarmed workers of PAT by police in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, on June 17. Sharif has refused, so far, to step down and the Pakistan Parliament has rejected demands for his resignation. Tens of thousands of people marched toward Islamabad and staged sit-ins outside of Pakistan’s parliament building, now underway for the 14th day, demanding Sharif’s resignation. A large number of women and children are

taking part in these sit-ins. According to law enforcement agency reports, more than 30 percent of the participants are women. This is first occasion in the history of Pakistan that women have participated in a major anti-government movement in such large numbers. A new era has emerged in Pakistan as men and women have joined hands in this growing social movement for political change – and women’s inclusion has proven increasingly effective. As an on-the-ground observer, I have learned first-hand how important women’s participation is to the success of this social and political change movement. The presence of women and children offers a buffer against state repression in Pakistan. Although tens of thousands of security forces have been deployed to contain the protests, the government has been reluctant to crack down on the protestors due to the presence of a large number of women and their children. They know if they use force against women and children the consequential backlash will be worse. Spending their days and nights at Constitution Avenue, the women participating in this movement have garnered sympathy across Pakistan and increased pressure on the government to expedite the resolution of this dispute by addressing the concerns of protesters. The resilience and courage of women bringing their children as young as six months old to demonstrations and sitins without any basic facilities available is impressive. These demonstrations are not easy for women with children

–consistent food or water is lacking, and it is hard to imagine how they are managing infant care without milk and other baby foods – but they press on. Two elderly women from a nearby slum expressed optimism that the weekslong standoff would bring good tidings. One of the women told me that they have been living without electricity and gas and now the government is going to snatch their homes, as well. Power outages have occurred daily and after a suicide bomber attack in Islamabad, the government has vowed to demolish 18 settlements housing more than 80,000 people – some of which are internally displaced persons and Afghan refugees. The elderly woman argued revolution was direly needed in her country. Many other women of varying backgrounds roaming around Islamabad’s Red Zone (high security area around Parliament) displayed similar levels of exhilaration and resolve. Participation of women in Pakistan’s anti-government movement shows how important their role is in nonviolent social and political change. The same may be said for movements around the world – whether the demands are large or small. We cannot afford to keep women’s contributions in Pakistan or any other nation hidden any longer – we need their help if we want to see the world progress.

acoma schools are now filled with students returning to classes for the beginning of the academic year. Many of those schools have been upgraded thanks to voters approving a bond package that will fund renovations and additions for years to come. But the effort to educate our children takes more than just our tax dollars and our moral support. Everyone plays a role to create a great district. First off, students must be kept safe from harm while they walk to school, so motorists must slow down around school zones and bus stops by obeying speed limits around parks and playgrounds and by watching for children, who might not be well versed on the rules of the road when it comes to crosswalks and sidewalks. Businesses that employ teenagers could support the educational efforts of their employees by being aware of homework requirements and limit work hours so their younger employees don’t have to chose between their homework and their paycheck. State law allows students as young as 14 to work up to three hours a day during the week and eight hours a day during the weekend, as long as they don’t work more than six straight days and don’t start before 7 a.m. and end by 7 p.m. Older student workers can work up to four hours a day during the week and full shifts during the weekend as long as they start after 7 a.m. and end before 10 p.m. or midnight during weekends. There are also limits on what work teenage workers can perform for safety and licensing concerns. But businesses can support their younger workers by scheduling them in ways that don’t clash with homework demands by simply being aware that teen students often have two or three hours of homework each night that could mean deep cuts into their sleep schedules if they have to work until 10 p.m. before hitting the books. Another hands-on approach to supporting education is to volunteer in a school. Every elementary, middle and high school in the district has work to be done but don’t have the staff to do on their own. Young students need parents, grandparents and neighborhood watchers to help them learn how to read or boost their reading and math comprehension. Middle-schoolers need adult mentors to help them stay on track with work and life goals. High school students need mentors as well, but also job training of all sorts. School offices and school booster groups always need organizers for events and fundraisers to support everything from athletic programs, to music and arts efforts and basic educational programs. Volunteers fill important roles in Tacoma schools. The district’s Community Partnership office has processed 7,523 volunteer applications since last September, with 4,334 active parent volunteers in local schools. That number is expected to grow under the district’s “Welcoming Environments and Parent and Family Engagement� goal of increasing volunteerism by 25 percent by 2017. That would mean another 1,000 educational helpers in schools. Current volunteer needs are the Big Brother Big Sister Mentor program at Foss and Stadium as well as general tutoring in every school. Anyone interested in finding a volunteer effort within the district can either contact any local school, or call the district’s Community Partnership Office at (253) 571-1087 for additional ideas of how to help.

Streets continues. Annual tracking from the organization shows that Safe Streets organized block groups and saw crime drop by 20 percent. For example, the Hilltop neighborhood, which was at the center of Tacoma’s blight and violence when Safe Streets formed, is now one of the safest neighborhoods in the city. Safe Streets was the first private non-profit organization that unites neighbors against crime, an effort that has served as a model for other programs around the nation, and the effort continues. “If you relax, those issues come back,� Executive Director Priscilla Lisicich said. The “emergency response� community activism phase of Safe Streets has been successful, so the organization has taken the opportunity to concentrate on improving neighborhoods instead of just controlling criminal activities. Safe Streets has organized and trained some 13,000 neighborhood leaders, 190,000 volunteers and 125 neighborhood groups during that time, which now have their eyes set on improving their streets beyond just crime prevention and education. Safe Streets volunteers have organized block watches, graffiti removal teams, safe routes to schools

and widespread substance abuse and violence prevention education initiatives. The Youth Leading Change program now has 11 chapters in local middle and high schools, with more than 8,000 teenager in violence and substance abuse prevention projects. Initiatives started by group members of Safe Streets include the Lincoln Alcohol Impact Area, Methamphetamine Lab reduction and “twice the time for the crime� legislation. “We have to stay the course, but now we have to ask ourselves ‘how do we stay the course,’� she said. “When Safe Streets started, we were just trying to reclaim our neighborhoods and to keep our kids safe.

Those efforts will dovetail into Safe Streets’ Youth Leadership program, its business outreach and community organization efforts, so neighbors can help neighbors improve their streets by connecting with each other. To that end, Safe Streets has adopted the new tagline of “Take Charge, Make Change.� “That is the community connection piece,� Lisicich said. “There are a lot of things going on.�

Learn how to start and sustain neighborhood patrols and make neighborhoods safe and welcoming places by attending a Safe Streets Neighborhood Patrol Academy, which consists of a four-hour class and is instructed by experienced patrol professionals and law enforcement officials, teaching residents how to patrol their neighborhood and be alert to local area crime trends. The neighborhood patrol program is comprised of residents who walk and drive the streets of their neighborhood looking for suspicious activity and situations that can attract crime and gangs. The next class will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 15 at the Safe Streets Building, 622 Tacoma Ave. S., Tacoma. Learn more at www.safest.org.

magnet school. “That is going to happen sooner than we first thought,� district spokesman Dan Voelpel said. “There will be an entirely new building and a new campus at that site.� Current plans are to tear down the current building and set the new school back on the property rather than being just yards away from the street. Whittier will drop to offer just pre-kindergarten to third grade classes once Wainwright opens mid year in 2018. The higher grades at Whittier will leave for winter break and open a new school when the new Wainwright opens that year, if all goes as scheduled. Tacoma Schools is also expanding a small pilot program that provides students from the district’s Science and Math Institute, School of The Arts, Mount Tahoma and Stadium high schools with on-the-job internships in which they learn work skills and earn

credits toward graduation. Lincoln High School is set to change to “Lincoln 2.0,� with an extended school day to allow for educational enrichment and college-bound activities that builds on the school’s existing school-within-aschool model. The district is also moving forward with the initial phase of a new partnership with Big Brothers/Big Sisters that aims to recruit and train adult mentors to provide one-on-one support for at-risk high schoolers at Foss and Stadium high schools. Plans for SAMI’s campus on land at Point Defiance Park is about a year behind as negotiations with Metro Parks of Tacoma continue, but plans now are to have a collection of buildings at several locations within the park. “It’s going to be multiple sites within the park,� Voelpel said, noting construction is set to start in 2016.

W Housing Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints hauled the program’s cots to a new host site. Members of that community prepared and served dinner and breakfast for the guest families and stayed overnight to chaperone them. In the daytime, kids went to school. Parents who had jobs went to work, and those who did not took part in training that covered parenting, work readiness and financial literacy at a day center. Then, when members of one host church objected to hosting a family with same-sex parents, the original program crashed, burned and was reborn as Phoenix Housing Network. Coordinated through Catholic Community Services, it found a home on the St. Ann Catholic Church campus, which includes a building that was once an elementary school. It was a great fit, and St. Ann’s asked only a modest rent. Trouble was, St. Ann has been growing its own programs for its diverse congregation so well that it needed the space. It asked Phoenix to relocate. The site at South Tacoma Way was next to perfect. It’s on a bus line. There’s a library nearby, and a park, a grocery store – even one of the 27 host sites, Visitation Catholic Church. “We took out a mortgage to pay for the $500,000 building,� Brown said. “Remodeling cost about that much as well.� The City of Tacoma put $300,000 toward that, paying for roof repairs and the elevator that makes the building accessible to all. “A family made a significant donation to Catholic Community Services for this as well,� Brown said. The building has a

roomy open space on the ground floor for the families’ day room, and nearby offices for case managers. Those case managers connect families to the resources throughout the county that they need to become independent. In the meantime, families have that comfortable day room to get their bearings. “There’s frosting on the windows to allow light in, but privacy for our families as well,� Brown noted. There are toys for children, games for all, and, just around the corner, two bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath. “The tub is especially nice for kids,� Brown said. The laundry room is just up the hall. Most offices are upstairs, as is FHN’s business-attire clothing bank. “The hardest thing we had to accommodate was Suited for Success, which had two huge classrooms,� he said. Now it’s more to boutique scale. With less space, director Mary Butschky said she must be more selective. “We have to be careful about the donations we take in,� she said. “We take business-appropriate clothes. That’s the only kind of donation we can accept, unless we put out a specific ask.� She appreciates donors’

generosity, but Suited for Success cannot use jeans, sweatshirts, sneakers, swimsuits or ball gowns. If you would not wear something to a job interview, best to take it to one of the organizations that can use it, Butschky said. “Call me at (253) 471-5340 if you have any questions.� Come October, FHN will be adding emphasis to finding jobs for veterans, working with the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs. Over the next three years, FHN and Metropolitan Development Council will split $3 million to do the work. There’s office space for new staff, and outreach and benefits expert Jean Perkins. “We put her right off the elevator because she frequently meets with disabled veterans,� Brown said. “Pierce County was identified as an area of priority to serve vets.� Brown said. “With the draw-down, they anticipate a lot of vets will be coming to Pierce County. A certain percentage of veterans struggle with housing and become homeless.� As Phoenix Housing Network stepped up its work with other veterans’ programs, and as area codes become less meaningful, it became clear that its name was a problem. ‘�We were getting an increasing number of calls from Arizona,� Brown said. Getting Phoenix out of the name, attaching the

sale of recreational marijuana. It could have been done in a single sentence, but it was not. Now, it is up to the Legislature to decide whether to require local governments to allow for the sale of marijuana.� The plaintiffs in this case had sought to open marijuana businesses in Fife despite the city’s ban. A formal opinion released by the AGO in January 2014 concluded that, as drafted, I-502 does not prevent cities and counties from banning marijuana businesses. The city argued that it is not required to allow such businesses under I-502. But the city also argued that if I-502 does require it to allow such businesses, then I-502 is preempted by federal law. “Federal preemption� is when federal law is determined to override state law. The business owner, Tedd Wetherbee, plans to appeal the decision. More than two-dozen cities and counties in the state have issued bans against marijuana retail shops within their jurisdictions.

program to Catholic Community Services and clarifying the mission to serve families made sense. There’s still a need for the original model, and at any time about five families are spending the night in classrooms and church halls on their way to getting into housing. That can take 90 days. “We aim to shorten that to 30 days,� Brown said. “We feel we can accomplish that through rapid rehousing. Getting families into permanent housing with only the services they need for only the time they need them, we can help more people.� In a perfect world, there would be enough of that housing. Until that happens, there’s still a need here for that old Stone Soup model, and the hundreds of people every year who make it work. “That’s the smallest part of what we do,� Brown said. “But it’s a big part of our identity in the community.�

t’s an exciting time for Tacoma’s high school football teams. For weeks, local athletes have been squaring-off against their own teammates, day after day. No matter how nice the lingering Tacoma summer sunshine has been, the boys are ready to start hitting someone else. Friday night, the local stadiums will be turning on their lights, and America’s favorite sport will return for what should be an exciting and wild season here in the City of Destiny. Last week, we covered two of the local favorites with Bellarmine Prep and Lincoln. This week, we take a look at the rest of the Narrows and more. Some teams are looking like they might take a leap forward, some have nowhere to go but up, and some are looking at possibly daunting times ahead. One thing is for sure though; they’re all fired up and ready to play some football. A few classification changes have altered the makeup of the 3A Narrows League. Timberline, last year’s league champion, has bid farewell and has moved up to the 4A Narrows. Central Kitsap, which last played in the first round of the 4A state playoffs, has moved down to the 3A Narrows along with Capital, formerly of the 2A South Puget Sound League. The 3A Narrows just got a whole lot tougher. Let’s take a look at how the Tacoma teams might be stacking up within it.

WILSON RAMS (2013 – 6-4)

Entering his 27th year at the helm of Rams football, head coach Don Clegg is the “Dean” of Narrows League football. After a third-place Narrows finish in 2013, the Rams headed north and lost to tough Glacier Peak squad 28-3 in the first-round of the 3A state playoffs. Wilson started the year off hot, winning its first six games, but stumbled in a heartbreaker to Foss 14-13 and a week later Lincoln outlasted them 21-16. Either game was pivotal in pushing the Rams out of the mix for the 3A Narrows title. Wilson returns a total of 20 lettermen, including five on offense and seven on

GRIT-IRON. Mount Tahoma (top left) will field a young and athletic squad searching for its first win in over two years. Multi-faceted Chris “Scooby” Reynolds (mid-left) should be dangerous as the new quarterback for Foss. Julius Yates-Brown (bottom) is back behind center to make another run at the state playoffs with Wilson.

It was just five years ago. Tacoma Baptist was making its fifth appearance in a state semifinal football game and ended up dropping a 25-11 heartbreaker to eventual 2B state champion Adna. The next two seasons, the Crusaders would make it to the state quarterfinals before ultimately bowing out. Just two seasons later, the Crusaders would need players from Mount Rainier Lutheran to field a squad of 16 players and the team went 2-7. A few weeks ago, as practice opened for the new season, a new Crusader head coach was in for quite a shock when nine players showed up for tryouts. Tacoma Baptist didn’t play eight-man football, and if they did, they were going to have a team with one player on the bench. “We started with nine the first week,” said new head coach Tim Rasmussen. “So were up to about 15 right now. With school starting, we’re hoping to add another one or two, maybe three kids. We’ve already had to cancel a couple of our first games because of the number of practices issues.” Following a summer of wholesale administrative changes at Tacoma Baptist, legendary head coach Mark Smith left the program. In 1991, it was Smith who helped organize the creation of a non-existent football program at the small school and in 22 seasons, Tacoma Baptist boasted one of the strongest football programs in the state in 2B and 1A. In 22 seasons under Smith, the Crusaders made 15 state tournaments, including five semifinal games and three championship appearances (losses in 1995, 2000 and 2001). For several years Tacoma Baptist had a fullsquad junior varsity team. “It’s an honor to be able to follow a guy like Mark Smith,” said Rasmussen. “He did a great job of starting and building this program. It kind of fell on some hard times in the last couple of years. The school has been dealing with some number issues. “The whole purpose of what we do is to mentor and develop these kids. We’re going to teach a lot of fundamentals this year. We’ll get there. It’s going to be a learning year for everybody.” While Rasmussen may have been a little surprised at state of the football program, it hasn’t changed his plans and goals for Crusader football. With just three upper-classmen on the roster, the sky is pretty much the limit

T

he Canadian geese did a fly over, and the last crowd of the year walked slowly out of Cheney Stadium after the final home loss. The clean-up crew began sweeping up the peanuts and Cracker Jack leavings as well as lots of those hot dogs. That was on August 27, before the season ended, because the Rainiers finished their 20th year as the Seattle Mariners’ Triple A franchise with five games at Fresno (another loss.) And what an up and down season it was. The team spent 13 of the first 30 games in first place before slipping into third for eight games and then becoming mired in fourth from May 21 to July 11 when they finally were able to see the light of third place again. At season’s end they were third in the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific North Division, with a record of 74-70. Although the team came up a few games short of being in the play offs, they achieved another number they were striving for--having a winning season. In May, June and July that seemed pretty undoable. On June 11 the Rainiers were 13 games under .500, with a record of 26-39. May 13 was the last time the team saw .500 or better until July 25 when they stood at 53-53. They reached the .500 goal for the season on August 26 by defeating Iowa for their 73rd win of the summer. Another number worth noting was sending four players to the Triple-A All Star game in Durham, North Carolina, on July 16. Those players were infielders Nick Franklin, Gabriel Noriega, Chris Taylor and relief pitcher Logan Kensing. This was the first time since 2001 that that many Rainiers went to an All Star game, and even though the Pacific Coast League’s affiliates lost to the International League players 7-3, Taylor was named the game’s MVP. He went 2 for 4, with two doubles. Rainiers who reached the top 10 in various PCL statistical categories were RHP Jordan Pries, ERA (sixth at 3.69), OF Xavier Nady, stolen bases (sixth with 31), IF Ty Kelly, games played (tied for fourth with 133), Taylor, triples (tied for year as the Seattle Mariners’ Triple A franchise with five games fourth with seven), and Kelly, walks (second with 83.) In addition, Tacoma was seventh as a team in both batting average (.281) and OPS (.777.) As always, the team experienced an astronomical number of transactions (159). This was due to both injuries and promotions and demotions. Midway through the season, first time Triple A manager Roy Howell said he had never

experienced such a turnover managing lower level teams. “Here you’ve got players on the 40 man roster, free agents that have been signed and have outs in their contracts. Other players are here on rehab assignments. When people ask me what’s the toughest part of managing in the PCL I say it’s not the travel, it’s the player movement that’s crazy because you’re trying to get a continuity with your ball club. But guys are baseball players,� he added. “At this level they’ve been around a little bit. A new guy walks in and the next day it’s like he’s been here for a month. That’s what’s really nice about it.� He knew many players from the Mariners’ organization having previously coached with lower level Mariner teams in 2012 and 2013. Howell played professionally for 14 seasons with Texas, Toronto, and Milwaukee and was named Toronto’s MVP in 1978 Other members of Howell’s staff were hitting coach Cory Snyder and pitching coach Jaime Navarro. This was Snyder’s first year coaching at the Triple-A level. He spent the previous three years in the same position with the Mariners’ Double-A team in Jackson, TN. Snyder played professionally for 11 seasons with the Indians, White Sox, Blue Jays, Giants and Dodgers., and was part of the 1984 U.S. Olympic baseball team that won a silver medal in Los Angeles. Navarro returned to the pitching coach position in Tacoma this year after being the Mariners’ bullpen coach from 2011-13. He previously was pitching coach for the Rainiers in 2010. This summer he was inducted into the Milwaukee Brewers’ Hall of Fame. He started for six seasons for the Cubs and Indians as well as seven seasons for the Brewers. Prior to the start of August 27th’s game, Tacoma presented the team’s 2014 postseason player awards. Designated hitter Jesus Montero was named the team’s Offensive Player of the Year, IF Gabriel Noriega was chosen Defensive Player of the Year, RH reliever Logan Kensing was picked as Pitcher of the Year, and RHPs Logan Bawcom and Forrest Snow earned Community Service Awards. Winners were picked by the Rainiers front office and coaching staff. In addition, six Rainiers—LHP Roenis Elias, OFJames Jones, RHP Dominic Leone, OF Stefen Romero, RHP Carson Smith and Taylor—made their Major League debuts during 2014. So while the team didn’t make it to the playoffs, it was still a season filled with excitement, firsts and memories. In the words of Logan Kensing, “I’ve been blessed to play this game and I look forward to every day.� And I am sure so say they all.

defense. Quarterback Julis Yates-Brown, a second-team, all-league selection, returns along with honorable mentions A.J. Ruffin at tight-end and offensive lineman Jack Springer. Clegg expects a strong push from his offensive line and thinks running back Isaiah Jones and wide receivers Keun Thompson and Damanche Booth may be ripe for surprise seasons. On defense, Wilson is fast and scary. With sack machines like Greer on the line, a stout linebacker corps and a strong defensive backfield, this may be the reason the Rams could end up even better than last season. Mark your calendars for Oct. 17, when Wilson plays Foss at Mount Tahoma Stadium.

Head coach Patrick Johnson may very well have another playoff contender on his hands this season. The only question is whether Johnson, now in his third year at Foss, can navigate his team through the late-season without seeing it all dashed upon the rocks with a late swoon. Foss finished fifth in the 3A Narrows, but their Nov. 1 loss to Lincoln cost them dearly. Sixteen lettermen from 2013 return for the Falcons. On offense, there has been a shakeup at the quarterback position as second-team all-league defensive back and wide receiver Chris “Scooby� Reynolds will be taking over. Coach Johnson expects the 6-3, 200 pounder to be a threat on the ground and through the air, with probably his biggest targets being 6-2 Mike Cocke’ and 6-0 Keshawn Craig at receiver and Ben Faalavaau at tight-end. Foss’ defense returns several all-league selections including 5-10, 250-pound defensive tackle Anthony Perez, along with Reynolds and Cocke’ in the defensive backfield. Keep an eye out for defensive linemen Maliek Lucious and Devante Cruz, as well as linebackers Potts, Craig and Gody Tupulua. Mark your calendars for Oct. 31 when Foss travels to Lincoln Bowl to play the Abes. The Falcon’s late season loss to Lincoln bumped them out of the playoff mix. Expect a whole lot to be on the line for both teams in this game.

There’s no way of getting around it: Mount Tahoma was not a good football team in 2013. With lagging interest and low turnout, the program took a major hit going winless the last two seasons. It was time for a change and Mount Tahoma brought in former University of Puget Sound assistant coach Ricky Daley to try and bring some new life and excitement to the once-proud Thunderbird

football program and he looks like a good fit. Daley has brought in a mix of old and new coaches to help get the Thunderbirds on the right track, including former players from Mount Tahoma’s state championship glory days over 30 years ago. Mount Tahoma has plenty of top-notch athletes and some of them are still pretty new to the game of football. That being said, the team returns eight starters on both sides of the ball, and they are bound to put more points on the board than last season (28). Who knows, they may even pull it off in one game. Having fielded a team almost entirely made up of underclassmen last season, the Thunderbirds have a rare combination of youth and experience this year, and that bodes very well for Mount Tahoma’s future. As for this season, Daley will be leaning on the likes of running back Keenan Wade-Herrera, a sizeable offensive line and an athletic 6-3 Adrian Allen at quarterback. On defense, the Thunderbirds roll out a big defensive line, including 6-4, 300-pound Jarrett Tuialuuluu, 6-3, 285-pound Lopez Ausage and 5-8, 280-pound Sipati Tuiolemotu. Backed by all-league selection Shayne Carpenter in the defensive backfield, along with Allen, Mount Tahoma could be very difficult to move around. Mark your calendar for Oct. 11, when Mount Tahoma hosts Wilson. The Rams rang-up a 78-6 victory last season, and this game will see the return of several players who are currently ineligible for the Thunderbirds. It could be interesting.

Just like their cross-town neighbors, Stadium tabbed a former University of Puget Sound assistant to take over the reins of the 4A Narrows last-place Tigers’ program. New head coach Thomas Ford has already brought more interest to the Stadium football program with a much higher turnout than in previous seasons. The Tigers have some good size on the offensive line, led by 5-10, 250-pound senior all-league selection Andre Scott. The line will be protecting and opening holes for sophomore quarterback Cody Schoeler and senior running back Dylan Rychtarik. Scott also anchors the defensive line along with senior Sam Laboie. Stadium has several larger linemen on both sides of the ball that lack experience. As the season wears on, don’t be surprised if Stadium starts looking bigger up the middle.Mark your calendar for Sept. 5 as the Tigers travel to Mount Tahoma Stadium to take on the Thunderbirds. The game offers up a non-league tilt between two hard-luck teams with new coaching staffs and some genuine excitement surrounding them.

as far as he’s concerned. “We’re pretty excited about the opportunity to build and continue the great legacy that is Tacoma Baptist football,� said Rasmussen. “Everywhere I’ve been, it’s always been about a three-year turnaround. We’re going to teach them the fundamentals and the key is to keep them from getting discouraged early and help them see the big picture that they’re getting more field time on a Friday night than any other kid their age and by the time it’s their junior and senior year, they’re going to really know what to do. “We talk about obstacles and perspective in our program. Obstacles are not there to keep you from things; they’re just there to prove how badly you want something.� Players to look-out for this season are senior receiver Jonny VanParys and offensive lineman Kyle Kliewer. Junior running back Tyler Hertz rounds out the upper-classmen for the Crusaders. Sophomore tight-end Doug Stone and sophomore running back Noah Leaman are expected to make an impact. If plans continue as they are, the Crusaders will open their season Sept. 19 at South Bend.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT SUPPORTING THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY

The Puyallup Tribe’s donation of $200,000 to Northwest Harvest helped 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 more than $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.

Support For Our Native Community To the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the word “communityâ€? means more than their own membership circle. With more than 4,600 Puyallup tribal members locally and across the country, and an Indian population of more than 24,000 in the tri-county area, the Puyallup Tribe takes great pride in continuing its ancestral ways by caring for Native American people across the board. HEALTH CARE The Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) opened in 1974 and today offers a wide variety of services annually to a patient population of more than 12,000 from more than 200 tribes. Services provided include medical, pediatrics, dental, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, mental health counseling, tobacco cessation programs, problem gambling programs, and alcohol and drug treatment programs. Following the vision of continuous improvement, the Health Authority recently completed a 10,000-square-foot expansion, and is in the process of a renovation project that at completion will provide much needed clinical space by adding 13 exam rooms, six pediatric exam rooms and three dental operatories. PTHA was the first tribal clinic in the country to start an Osteopathic Family Medicine Residency in 2012. It began with two residents, and it was quickly recognized that expanding to four would go a long way toward filling access gaps. Four new residents began training in July. The residency will reach full capacity in FY15 with 12 residents. The vision of this program is to train new doctors to work in Indian Country with full understanding of how health is affected by the cultural, environmental and familial aspects of tribal communities. “We want to train healers not just technicians,â€? said Clinical Director Dr. Alan Shelton, MD. PTHA received national attention from the White House when President Obama addressed PTHA’s great success in a speech at the 2013 Tribal Nations Conference (in part): â€œâ€Ś[T]he Puyallup Tribal Health Authority in Washington state created the country’s first tribal family medicine residency program. Patients are cared for in a culturally sensitive way, often by Native American staff. And we’re seeing results – a young physician caring for a revered tribal elder; a doctor who has delivered babies in the community for years, and now his son is also doing the same. And that’s creating more quality health care, but also sustaining bonds between generations. That’s progress that we need to build on.â€? ELDERS Caring for their elders is a top priority for the Tribe, with $4.5 million spent last year on elder care services. The Tribe’s beautiful House of Respect Elders Center – a $13 million facility opened in 2009 – stands as testament to the Puyallups’ deeply held reverence for their elder membership. The center, located on a historically significant site above the Puyallup River, offers a variety

of health and recreational options for Puyallup elders over 45 years old. YOUTH For the youth, the Tribe works to proactively instill positive values in its young members as early as possible through several important means: Puyallup Tribal Community Center – This 34,000square-foot facility includes a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility also accommodates gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals and cultural activities. Chief Leschi Schools – Providing a Native-focused academic environment for children in pre-kindergarten through high school, Chief Leschi Schools serves Native American students from more than 60 different tribes with current enrollment of approximately 890 students. As one of the largest Bureau of Indian Education (BIA) schools constructed in the nation, the 200,000square-foot school is intended to be a model for Native American programs around the country. Grandview Early Learning Center – Providing quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community, during 2013 Grandview Early Learning Center served more than 120

families and 210 children. Education opportunities within the Tribe don’t stop there. For its members seeking higher education after high school, or their general equivalency degree (GED), the Puyallup Tribe ensures that funding is available for tuition assistance, books, tutoring and more. HOUSING Believing that everyone deserves a comfortable home to live in, the Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority (PNHA) strive to provide safe and sanitary housing for Puyallup tribal members and other Native Americans. During 2012, the Housing Authority spent more than $4 million providing housing assistance to approximately 150 households. The recently completed Phase II of the Northeast Longhouse project in Tacoma added another 10 townhomes to the complex for a total of 20 townhomes. These housing units were built in an energy-efficient manner and are culturally relevant to the community. Beyond providing safe and affordable housing, the Longhouse project also revitalized a struggling neighborhood. As the project came together, a long-stalled construction project across the street started up once again. Today, new single-family homes are now for sale on non-tribal land across the street.

BUMBERSHOOT Seattle’s Labor Day weekend pop smorgasbord, Bumbershoot, was back for its 44th annual run last weekend. The weather didn’t always want to cooperate, and the event had more competition than ever (see story on page B5, for example). But there was no keeping the music-loving masses away with big names like Wu-Tang Clan, the Head and the Heart and Foster the People playing the main stage and an army of cult favorites and up-and-coming locals spread across Seattle Center. Here’s some of what we witnessed over the three-day run.

GRAY SKIES. The festival’s namesake could be seen all over the place on day one, but rain did very little to dampen the spirits of those that waited all year for Seattle’s biggest festival. They braved the sporadic, but not too heavy, downpours to get what they came for.

The singer-songwriter gave her incredible band a break and she played solo on a few songs, including an out of this world performance of “African Girl,” which brought out deafening cheers from the fans when she finished. Simply put, she is as talented as anyone, anywhere.

The Fall Season Opens at Kittredge Gallery Kittredge Gallery reopened at the end of August with exhibitions of mixed-media sculpture and glass. The Large Gallery will feature work by artist Marita Dingus, an exhibition being held in conjunction with Puget Sound’s Race and Pedagogy National Conference in late September. Dingus uses found objects and discarded materials to “reuse them for a greater purpose,” she says. Her work references her African-American heritage and addresses complex issues and histories. Her use of cast-off items comments on the tragedy of deeming some human lives worthless, historically through enslavement and presently through other forms of detainment and imprisonment. “They Still Hold Us” refers to the persistence of invisible forces that contain and restrict, in Dingus’ words, “people of color from prospering.” She cites social and political “fences” and “shackles,” such as the prison system, biased law enforcement that leads to the deaths of a disproportionate number of people of color, and environmental injustice issues that affect the poor domestically and on a global scale. The works on view at Kittredge Gallery are primarily from her “Fence” series and, though made of fragile materials, are complex tangles of objects and meanings that can ensnare and hold both literally and figuratively. Dingus received her B.F.A. from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, and her M.F.A. from San Jose State University. Honors and awards include a Visual Art Fellowship from Artist Trust, a John S. Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Morrie and Joan Alhadeff PONCHO Artist of the Year

BLOWN AWAY. “George” by Sarah Gilbert. Award. Dingus has had solo shows at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter and The Stenersen Museum, both in Norway, and Museum of Glass in Tacoma. Sarah Gilbert’s exhibition in the Small Gallery is a new body of work supported by funding from the Tacoma Arts Initiative. As Gilbert notes in her statement: “This body of work is the beginning of what will be a long exploration into what makes a place feel like home. The further I look into this concept the more I realize I have just begun to explore the possibilities. I consider both places – Rochester, N.Y., and Tacoma, Wash. – my home, but through making this work I want to explore what it is that makes you connect with a place. I have traveled to other places and lived in other cities but I feel at home in both of these cities – there is something about both places that is comforting. As I move through each city, Rochester and Tacoma, in my daily life, I see so many similarities.” Gilbert is a glass artist and head technician at Museum of Glass. She earned a B.F.A. in glass and sculpture from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005. This year

she was a nominee for the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation’s annual Foundation of Art Award. In the Museum of Glass Hot Shop, she maintains and repairs all glass-working equipment and supports world-renowned visiting artists. In her own work, Gilbert has been using glass as her primary medium for the last 13 years. Her new works in “3000 Miles from Home” combine her skills with glass, metal, and illustration. She notes about her process: “To get the imagery in the piece, I am using a technique called cameo engraving. Before photography cameo engraving on glass or shell was a traditional alternative to painting in order to capture a person’s likeness in an object that could either be worn or displayed. It is a time-consuming process that not only demands a considerable amount of practice to execute, but a devotion to the subject matter in order to capture its true likeness. This process has proven specifically appropriate for me to make this work because of the history behind the process and because the time put into each piece turns into almost a meditation on the subject.”

SOUNDGARDEN, NINE INCH NAILS DELIVER MIND-BLOWING TOUR FINALE IN AUBURN

PHOTO BY BILL BUNGARD

GRUNGE KINGS. Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Chris Cornell at White River.

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

For a brief moment, it appeared we’d get two Sasquatch Festivals this summer concert season. Organizers plotted a sequel to the Gorge Amphitheatre’s popular, annual kickoff extravaganza, rounding up another army of hipster-approved acts to play Fourth of July weekend. They even tapped Seattle grunge godfathers Soundgarden to headline, memories still fresh of the veteran band packing the venue in 2011. Steep ticket prices aside, it seemed like a slam dunk. That said, dunks sometimes rattle off the rim. Venue owner Live Nation was quick to pull the plug after sales tanked, and that turned out to be a huge blessing in disguise for Soundgarden fans. They would now be able to see their idols for hundreds of dollars less, and the band would be bringing their summer tour mates, fellow ‘90s alt-rock heavyweights Nine Inch Nails, back home. That’s pretty sweet as consolation prizes go. Soundgarden’s appearance Saturday night at Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre marked the quartet’s fourth local stop since it roared back into action after a 13-year hiatus in 2010; and while the set lacked the scope of the Gorge concert and the intimacy of last year’s set at the Paramount Theatre, it was the the band’s most satisfying post-comeback

MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT (97 MIN, PG-13)

set yet. The quartet – singerguitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron – hit the ground running with “Searching with My Good Eye Closed,” a standout from breakthrough album, “Badmotorfinger,” before switching to “Superunknown” mode, an album that got added emphasis in honor of its 20th anniversary. The formidable foursome seemed looser and more confident from the beginning, with Thayil and Cornell accentuating fan favorites with inspired solos and psychotropic blasts of feedback. Cornell is the best rock singer of his generation, for my money, and his reverbdrenched howl still pierces to the core. Among set high points were “Jesus Christ Pose,” a song that kept picking up momentum as it went like a category five monsoon; “Rusty Cage,” another high-octane cut from “Badmotorfinger;” and set closer “Beyond the Wheel.” Cornell clarified that the lyrics to the night’s final number were about youth who get recruited to go off to fight in foreign lands. “They kill or they get blown up or shot,” he lamented. The recorded version of the song, found on 1988’s “Ultramega OK,” pales in comparison to the live performance. That song is a beast. And, having hit a walk-off home run, band members exited one by one, fans cheering Shepherd on as he toppled a stack of amps on the way out. Speaking of home runs, though, there was a funny moment midway through the performance when Cornell copped to being a distracted by another ‘90s great staring up at him the crowd. “It’s hard to get used to Randy Johnson in the pit taking your picture. I try to be cool,” he joked, shouting out the former Seattle Mariners pitcher. At 6-foot-10, the “Big Unit” wasn’t too hard to

spot, snapping shots and saluting the band through the rest of the set. Nine Inch Nails headlined with a performance that was far better than their previous local appearance at KeyArena. Bandleader Trent Reznor seemed as if he were having a blast, even as he spewed the angriest anthems of the last quarter century. There was a better balance between old classics and newer, more experimental cuts from last year’s “Hesitation Marks” album (those overly emphasized last year). And the band’s special effects were slicker than ever; and that’s saying something regarding a group that has one of the coolest light shows in rock. Granted, fans may have thought they’d see something more akin to 2009’s minimally staged Wave Goodbye tour, at first. Reznor took a sparsely furnished stage by himself, initially armed with a small synthesizer as he kicked things off with “Copy of A.” His band members joined him, one at a time, their shadows projected onto a series of shifting, white panels during the early set, which included “Pretty Hate Machine”-era classic “Sanctified” and “Came Back Haunted,” the lead single from the last album. The opening cuts were performed on a series of synths, with only electronic drums. But soon the panels parted again to kick off “1,000,000,” revealing drummer Ilan Rubin. He made his presence felt throughout the show, galvanizing familiar material with inspired fills and hitting so hard he could have been keeping time with a pair of Louisville Sluggers. The visual aesthetic shifted gradually, as well, with stark black-and-white giving way to eye-popping bursts of color. Reznor performed the Manson Family-inspired “Piggy” with an eerie spotlight inches from his face. His sinister, digitized visage was projected onscreen

for club hit “Closer,” and blurry, pixilated images of Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Hillary Clinton faded in and out of view, underscoring the anti-war message of “The Great Destroyer” as seismic bass shook the venue. The band tinkered compellingly with a few arrangements. Reznor added some Thelonious Monk-style key banding to “Piggy,” guitarist Robin Fincke adding a metallic flourish here, some eerie, distorted squall there. But the finale couldn’t have been more familiar, an affecting, straightforward delivery of the band’s signature

ballad, “Hurt.” Reznor briefly seemed caught up in the moment as he began to sing. This time, Reznor smartly avoided calling it a farewell tour, unlike five years ago. But as he and the band cruised toward then end of the tour’s final set, it seemed clear they won’t be back for quite a long while. “This is our last show for the next few years, at least,” he declared. “We’re gonna keep making music (and) hopefully we’ll be back on this stage some day.” Based on what we saw Saturday night, let’s hope they don’t stay away for too long.

PAYS YOU! FOR YOUR Junk Cars

253-222-1136

Is your home a peaceful place, which could use the pitter-patter of a sweet kitty? If so, Ming’s is ready to move in. Ming is an 8 year old Domestic Longhair Siamese, quietly waiting for his forever family. This bashful guy may not be the best at selling himself, but once you spend some time with him, there’s no doubt you’ll fall in love. Ming loves to cuddle and will roll over onto his back so you can brush his tummy. Due to his age, Ming would do best in a household with adults and older children. His pet history is unknown, a very slow introduction would be necessary. Make this charming fellow yours today. Reference #A489559
