fforts to replace the 103-year-old dam system on the White River are making headway on several fronts, but a new dam could still be years away. The Buckley Dam was built in 1911 to divert water from the White River to Lake Tapps. The dam is also used to trap, transport and release salmon above the 1940-era Mud Mountain Dam, about 5 miles upriver. That dam was built only for flood control and not originally equipped to allow fish passage. The dam system is outdated and unable to keep up with the number of salmon now struggling to spawn in the river system. The current dam was modified in 1948 to allow about 4,000 salmon a day and is being forced to manage 20,000 fish a day during peak spawning seasons. Salmon normally have a spawning run of about two weeks, but the limits of the workload spreads that to almost three months, meaning otherwise healthy salmon are being injured or killed as they fruitlessly fight their way upstream until they make their way to the fish trap to be trucked to the spawning grounds. Tribal biologists from the Puyallup and Muckleshoot tribes do much of the sorting, weighing and recording throughout the process. “The health of the river and the fish is of utmost importance to the Puyallup Tribe, not only to our membership but for the community as a whole,� Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud said. “We are committed to preserving the quality and the health of salmon in the Puget Sound.� “They really do the heavy lifting,� said Army Corps of Engineer Manager Dan Johnson. That means crews fill water tanks with fish every 20 minutes around the clock, using four water trucks to shuttle the fish 12 miles by road past the dam system.

STUDY OF PUGET SOUND SALMON UNDER REVIEW By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

CITY PRIMED FOR NEW CAB, FOR-HIRE TRANSPORTATION RULES

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is developing plans that will lay out how fish hatcheries will operate in the future. One plan will address hatchery programs that produce Puget Sound Chinook salmon, while the other will develop benchmarks of producing coho, pink, chum and sockeye salmon and steelhead. State and tribal hatcheries have co-managed fish production on Puget Sound since a federal court case in 1974 established the framework of tribal treaty rights to fishing grounds and state fishing obligations. “The resource management plans are the proposed frameworks through which (state and tribal hatchery programs) would jointly manage salmon and steelhead hatchery programs in Puget Sound while meeting conservation requirements specified under the Endangered Species Act,� the NOAA announcement stated. “The EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) will consider potential impacts on listed and non-listed animal and plant species and their habitats, water quality and quantity, socioeconomics, and environmental justice.� The proposed action alternative in the draft plan that is being forwarded by state and tribal hatchery operators would not change the current level of fish production but study the counts for further action as a way to develop longer-term plans.

The City Council’s Government Performance and Accountability Committee has forwarded changes to Tacoma’s rules governing taxi cabs and the new entry into the marketplace, Transportation Network Companies. These companies, namely Uber and Lyft, use mobile phone applications to connect otherwise private car owners with passengers seeking rides who are willing to pay for a ride. The companies handle the money up front, so the drivers and passengers never exchange cash directly. Services from these companies started in April. “Part of the vision is that everyone can be a ‘casual driver’ if they want to be,� Lyft’s Public Policy Manager Annabel Chang said. Car owners can earn money during their free time by taking non-car owners to appointments or errands as the driver’s schedule allows.

A public hearing concerning the comprehensive plan for the north half of Tacoma’s downtown Tuesday outlined policy changes meant to direct development in the area in the coming years. The city’s North Downtown Subarea Plan covers 520 acres of downtown between South 15th Street and the Stadium District, and from the area between Hilltop and the Foss Waterway. Plans for South Downtown and Hilltop were completed in the last year or so. Each of the plans was crafted through public hearings and presentations to boost economic activity while promoting quality of life for residents through zoning policies for redevelopment or new development. “The North Downtown Subarea

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) This week’s aspiration for you is to make your long-term plans and work hard to see them through. Make lists and schedules to keep on track. Focus on your end result and envision yourself already there, creating reality. But try to limit the daydreaming.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Juicy gossip fills your inner circle. Don’t take everything you hear at face value. Only speak about things you don’t mind others repeating. Idle talk can be twisted and used to benefit others. Someone close may want to see you knocked down a peg or two.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) You may experience vivid and intense dreams this week, which could inspire you. Energy levels are high so take advantage and get going on that project. Work hard but not so hard that you neglect yourself. Sleep well, exercise moderately and eat the right diet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Have you been thinking about an old friend or lover? This person may pay you a visit or send you a message online. Reunite, rekindle and then move forward. Your telepathic senses are very high right now. Trust your feelings and let them guide you on your life’s journey.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) People around you may be acting a bit mischievously, possibly keeping you out of the loop. Is it deception or a favorable surprise? You’ll find out soon, and either way you come out looking like the better person. Smile a lot and listen while in conversation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Sudden and unexpected changes will come up this week for you, especially at work. They may make you feel anxious, confused and disoriented. No worries, you will get all you deserve for all your hard work. Your skills and ingenuity are noticed by everyone around you.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Emotions run high this week both at home and at work. Don’t overreact to loved ones’ or coworkers’ demands. Sometimes we need to vent out our frustrations, which may seem harsher than reality. Many unspoken mysteries will soon come to light.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Let loose and have some fun this week. Get outside – go hiking, fishing, golfing, camping, etc. – doing what you really enjoy while the weather is still nice. You may find that your telepathic skills are dead on. You know who calls before the phone rings, and dreams may give you further insight.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Your sensual and romantic side will shine this week. Strangers may take second glances, coworkers will compliment you and friends may rally around you. Show your style and wear it with pride. Give aid to someone who may genuinely need your help or advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Guard yourself from others who may be physically or emotionally “sick.� Take vitamin C, drink herbal teas, eat healthy and get plenty of rest. Avoid toxic people that may waste your time or use your ideas. You have better things to do! Focus on your plan and try to stay grounded.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Memories of past love ones may occupy your thoughts this week. Maybe it’s time to let them go. Free yourself so someone new can come into your life. As you settle, move forward with your plans. Be choosey about your next move. Don’t rush it!

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) You may see another side of someone, completely changing your perspective. This could be a favorable thing or you could uncover something you didn’t want to know. All truths come out in time no matter how deeply they are hidden. Ultimately, isn’t it better to know the truth?

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

19th and Hosmer 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.

Each young artist explores the collaborative discipline of theater while learning the art of acting. Paywhat-you-can tuition makes the program accessible to everyone! Auditions for “The Legend of Sleepy Hollowâ€? and “Snow Whiteâ€? are on Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14. Auditions are free and consist of simple exercises and reading from the script (non-readers are welcome, too!) No experience or preparation is necessary. We do our best to include all interested and dedicated young actors in the show. Our casting goal is to create an effective, nurturing group-dynamic in which all participating actors will find success. Everyone can afford to participate. We ask that families either pay the full tuition of $300 or any amount they can afford. While all families are invited to participate in ticket fundraising, those not paying full tuition are asked to simply make up the tuition difference through ticket sales. Every student must pay something on the first day of rehearsal. The first week of rehearsal, the whole cast gathers as we read-through the script, get to know each other, learn theater basics and expectations. Starting the second week of rehearsal, smaller groups of actors are called as needed for blocking, scene-work, costume fittings, and individualized instruction. During the final two weeks of rehearsal, the entire cast gathers at every rehearsal for run-throughs, scene transition work, costume, props and tech. Actors are required to have their lines memorized for these rehearsals. For further details, visit tacomayouththeatre.blogspot.

Transportation is the largest source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in Washington. A Clean Fuels Standard will require fuel distributors to gradually lower the carbon intensity of their fuels over time. Inslee is considering a standard that will be technology neutral, allowing fuels to compete solely on their pollution-reducing benefits. This will provide a level playing field for small businesses currently providing jobs and fuels in the state’s supply chain, and provide room for growth on both sides of the Cascades.

POLICE MAKE QUICK CATCH OF ESCAPED SEX OFFENDER By David Rose :DVKLQWRQ¡V 0RVW :DQWHG 4 )R[

Thanks to observant viewers of Q13 FOX News, an escaped level 3 sex offender from Western State Mental Hospital was captured less than seven hours after the story on him aired. Officers DAVID ROSE first thought convicted rapist Eric Wyatt might be in Tacoma, but Seattle East Precinct officers saw his case featured on Monday’s news and remembered that they had seen a guy matching his description earlier in the day in Capitol Hill. They alerted officers on the next shift to keep their eyes peeled for him. Officer Bradley DeVore spotted Wyatt just before 4:30 a.m. walking in the 200

WOMAN CHARGED FOR STARTING FIRE IN COURTHOUSE On Sept. 4, Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Charlotte Ann Clark, 41, with criminal impersonation in the first degree, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, and reckless burning in the second degree. She lit a fire in a restroom at the County-City Building in Tacoma, causing the building to be evacuated. “This was more than a prank,� said Lindquist. “It was a major, expensive and dangerous disruption to courthouse business.� On Sept. 3 at 9 a.m., Clark lit a fire inside a trashcan in the second floor women’s restroom of the County-City Building. Moments later, the fire alarm sounded and smoke was coming from the restroom. The entire building was evacuated while Tacoma firefighters extinguished the fire. Nobody was hurt. Once the building was cleared, deputies reviewed the surveillance cameras, which showed Clark going in and out of the restroom twice. After her second exit, she could be seen walking into a nearby courtroom. Deputies believed that she might still be in the building, so they went to the courtroom where Clark was last seen. When deputies contacted Clark, she handed the deputies a fake ID card and attempted to hide her methamphetamine. She was arrested and booked into the Pierce County Jail. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

block of Broadway and took him into custody. Wyatt told DeVore he had just planned to walk around until he was caught. On Sept. 2 Wyatt was given a day pass but didn’t return. Officers say he has had day passes in the past and had always come back to the hospital. Wyatt, convicted of raping a male roommate, has the mental capacity of a 14-year-old and cannot control his sexual urges when he is off his medications. Wyatt sometimes calls himself Erica or Golden Spoon Wyatt. Since he was not being treated while on the run, officers considered him dangerous and were relieved to get Wyatt off the streets. Be sure and watch Washington’s Most Wanted on Friday night, Sept. 12, at 9:30 on JOE TV and our new time slot of 11 p.m. on Q13 FOX.

THEFT OF CATCH BASIN INLET GRATES ON THE RISE More than 100 catch basin inlet grates have been stolen in unincorporated Pierce County this year, creating a public safety risk and costing the county thousands in replacement costs and staff time. The thefts are centered in Central Pierce County. These grates, which are made of cast iron, allow rainwater to enter catch basins located under the roadway, which then drains into storm drainage pipes and ditches. They are located along the roadway near the shoulder or sidewalks, and help reduce roadway flooding by preventing leaves and other debris from entering the storm drainage systems. “Missing grates create a safety hazard for motorists, bicycle riders and pedestrians that may not see the hole as they travel,� said Bruce Wagner, Public Works and Utilities road operations manager. “We’ve seen an increase in the number of thefts in the past few weeks.� Catch basins are four - to 20-feet-deep,

and either 18 by 24-inches wide or 20 by 24-inches wide. The cost to replace a catch basin inlet grate ranges between $250 and $395. Each grate costs between $100 and $120. Most of the thefts have occurred north of Graham and south of 512 between Highways 161 and 7. Many have occurred in developments still under construction, and likely take place at night. People who see a theft in-progress should call 911. If they see a missing grate, they should call Public Works and Utilities’ 24-hour service line at (253) 798-6000. Road crews clean roadside storm drainage facilities six months of the year. There are approximately 21,700 catch basins, 1,200 miles of ditch, and 550 miles of drainage pipes in unincorporated Pierce County. It is not Pierce County’s standard to bolt down the catch basin inlet grates, as it would take staff additional time to unscrew them during their annual cleaning.

And what is happening in the our top community. while MultiCare won’t and be on theideas list Please send your news story most people, the hospital complex tofornews@tacomaweekly.com. was the place to be for one Tacoman and that landed the 35-year-old man in trouble. He was cited for trespassing numerous times for apparently just hanging out at the hospital rather than his Yakima Avenue residence. Security officers, who immediately recognized him from previous incidents, spotted him sleeping in one of the hospital rooms. He was taken to jail but told officers that he would return to the hospital when he was released from the gray bar motel in Fife. It is generally a good rule of thumb to disconnect phones when you get drunk at home. One man didn’t follow that advice when he called 9-1-1 more than 60 times in the last year. Topping off that record by calling 16 times in a matter of hours on Sept. 5, saying that he was hearing noises outside his apartment along the 3700 block of East McKinley Avenue. Police arrived and talked to the man, who said that someone had broken down his door. The officer pointed out to the man that his door was intact. The drunken man then began to apologize for calling police several times and said he would stop calling 9-1-1 “Even if I really needed you if you just let me go.� He went to jail. The officer observed that the man had used a marker to write “please forgive 9-1-1� on his wall. Compiled by Steve Dunkelberger

LEGACY. Lincoln Hardware has always been a fam-

ily owned business. The original owner, J.B Feist, is honored by his moose and hat greeting customers at the front door.

Hardware shopping can often be a daunting experience. Walking into a store can feel cold and uninviting; a giant warehouse filled with nuts and bolts melding together to create an overwhelming feeling. Lincoln Hardware, located at 3726 S. G St., is almost the antithesis of this vision, a steadfast business in the Tacoma community for more than 80 years, Lincoln Hardware has established itself as the type of mom and pop shop that knows its customers by name. “We like the style of ‘know your neighbors instead of living behind closed curtains.’ We know these people by name, we know their dogs, we watch them fall in love, get married, have children, their children come in and we know their kids,� third generation owner Jennifer Sallee said. And the relationship isn’t just a one-way street, as Sallee had plenty of help from longtime customers when she first took over the store from her father, assisting the owner

they had watched grow up. Because of this community feeling, Lincoln Hardware is committed to helping customers find a fix for any situation. “We know what our products are, we know where they are, we know how to use them. We can sharpen your lawn mower blade, we can repair your lamp, we can key and rekey your lock, we just do lots and lots of service things. We try to instruct you on how you can fix things,� Sallee said. But perhaps Lincoln Hardware’s biggest boon is just how “Tacoma� it is. The store has stood steady as neighborhoods around it changed and grew. The Lincoln Hardware location was purchased and constructed by Sallee’s grandfather, J.B Feist, who established the store in the 1930s. “Neighborhoods fluctuate,� Sallee said. “First you have a bunch of older people. Then they retire, and sometimes neighborhoods become rentals. Eventually they change again, and the renters become homeowners, and that changes the whole dynamic of the neighborhood, and

they get to the age where they want to keep houses the way they were.� Lincoln Hardware gladly abides these homeowners’ wishes, not just recommending the best new products, but understanding the customers’ unique needs and wants. “Not everything has to be brand new. Sometimes the old 1940s stove is just great,� Sallee said. Lincoln Hardware is dedicated to this customer service even if they aren’t the ones who are able to solve the problem. “We don’t have everything, and neither does anyone else. We have a lot, and we know how to see if other people have it, so we can order you things, repair most anything and tell you where to go to find something. If you come in here with something, we can point to specialty stores and call and find out if they have it for you. Little things like that add up big in the end,� Sallee said. For more information on Lincoln Hardware, visit lincolnhardware.net or call (253) 472-1425. Lincoln Hardware is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

DAWN LUCIEN, ERIC OLSON HONORED WITH PEACE PRIZE

Arts commission announces AMOCAT winners

Set aside Saturday evening, Sept. 27, to honor Dawn Lucien and Eric Olson, the 2014 recipients of the Greater Tacoma Peace Prize. Lucien and her son, Eric Olson, have served our local community and our nation for over 40 years and were nominated together by Norm Dicks, William Lincoln and Clare Petrich. They both have been formidable advocates for nonviolent solutions to difficult conflicts. The banquet in their honor will be held at the Scandinavian Cultural Center at Pacific Lutheran University, beginning at 6 p.m. The event is open to all who wish to purchase tickets. Tickets are available by mailing a check for $50 per ticket by Saturday, Sept. 20 to GTPP, PO Box 731143, Puyallup, WA 98373. Lucien has merged the spirit and skills of advocate and conciliator – always civil, transparent, influential and effective. In many ways, she has been the conscience of the community. As district manager for then-Congressman Norm Dicks, she played a key role in the 1990 Puyallup Indian Land and Jurisdictional Claims settlement. In the mid-1980s, she was instrumental in bringing together the federal government, the Puyallup Tribe, the Port of Tacoma, the City of Tacoma and numerous local municipalities and private partners. In retirement Lucien maintains strong relationships with all parties and is an informal and meaningful advisor. She remains an advocate for the Pierce County Center for Dispute Resolution; she has been a tireless con-

Tacoma Arts Commission has announced this year’s AMOCAT Arts Award winners: ArtsFund (Arts Patron), Asia Pacific Cultural Center (Community Outreach by an Organization), and Jessica Spring (Community Outreach by an Individual). The AMOCAT Arts Awards honor those who provide distinctive contributions to the arts in Tacoma. Arts Patron Award: This award goes to ArtsFund for their work to strengthen the community by supporting the arts through leadership, advocacy and grant making. ArtsFund has been directing funds to Pierce County arts organizations since its inception in 1969, and has invested over $6.5 million in grants into the arts sector in Pierce County. ArtsFund is committed to helping develop the next generation of community and civic leaders, and offers a nonprofit board leadership training course as well as ongoing meetings for the cultural sector. Through ArtsFund’s policy and advocacy efforts, Building for the Arts, a statewide capital grant program, has distributed

tributor to community-based efforts to develop a first-class graduate degree program in dispute prevention, management, and resolution at the University of Washington Tacoma. Olson, Dawn’s son, is a 1969 graduate of Stadium High School and a 1973 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. In a career of more than 35 years he rose to the rank of Admiral, the first Navy SEAL to be promoted to the four-star rank, and ultimately served as the leader of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOC). Twice decorated for personal valor in combat, Admiral Olson advocates for the “deeper understanding of the context of any conflict as a means to predict the effects of our actions� and he has been widely quoted for his statement that “we cannot kill our way to victory in today’s wars, so we must think our way to success.� Retired in 2011, Admiral Olson remains a thoughtful leader for a more balanced military force, one that considers linguistic and cultural expertise as essential. In 2012, as keynote speaker at Portland District Rotary’s “Peace Is Possible� conference, he reminded listeners: “Going to war is a political decision, not a military decision.� He currently teaches a graduate course at Columbia University focusing on the challenges of “turning down the heat� in a time of global friction.

ON THE JOB. (left photo) PLU Center for Media Studies and MediaLab students (L to R) Amanda Brasgalla, Olivia Ash and Valery Jorgensen conduct a videorecorded interview. (right photo) CMS students (L to R) Taylor Lunka, Ash and Brasgalla conduct community based field research earlier this year. By Natalie DeFord Special to the Weekly

Like many college students, Olivia Ash was uncertain about her future when she first arrived on the campus of Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) back in the fall of 2011. “I’ve always loved music, and so I knew I wanted to get involved with PLU’s student radio station,� said Ash. “During the fall semester of my first year, I became a DJ and fell in love with radio.� Now a senior, Ash, 21, is the station’s student general manager. She credits PLU’s emphasis on public engagement with providing her with many on- and offcampus opportunities to learn about radio and expand her media skills, helping make her career path after college abundantly clear. “Through my experience with student radio, I’ve had opportunities to visit professional stations,� said Ash, a communication major set to graduate in May 2015, “which has made me realize that radio is definitely in my future.� Ash is among several dozen PLU arts and communication students who will participate this school year in the University’s new Center for Media Studies (CMS), an initiative that formally launches this fall. The goal of the Center is to invert the school’s arts and communication class-

rooms by providing students with more opportunities to apply their skills and knowledge in real-world settings. Situated within PLU’s School of Arts and Communication, the Center leverages the university’s programs in journalism, public relations, advertising, art and design to provide students with learning opportunities by working with clients, both on and off-campus. Rather than a geographic location, the Center is an organized way of conceptualizing and approaching topics typically taught only in classroom settings. This fall, for instance, four different classes containing nearly 50 students studying graphic design, research methods, public relations/ advertising and media studies will work together on a series of real-world projects, all focused on one specific community partner. PLU has a well-earned reputation for encouraging students to participate in service learning. But Cameron Bennett, Dean of the university’s School of Arts and Communication, said community engagement is especially important for students interested in pursuing careers in arts, media and communication. “Our objectives are to increase our public outreach, further engage with our communities, and enable our students to have every opportunity to succeed in a marketplace that is constantly changing

and evolving,� said Bennett. Ash will be among the Center’s first group of students to formally partner with an off-campus client. Somewhat ironically, that client will be KPLU-FM 88.5, the local National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate owned by the university. KPLU has studios in Tacoma and Seattle. In addition to her duties this fall as the student radio station’s manager, Ash will work on a student team to research how KPLU might expand its audiences on-air and on-line. She will also work with two other student groups, one that will help produce on-air content for KPLU, while the other will shoot and edit videos of professional musicians for the station’s website. To some extent, activities of the new Center will be patterned after PLU’s highly successful MediaLab program, which for nearly 10 years has performed media services for area businesses, government agencies, media firms, school districts, non-profits and other community partners in addition to producing numerous awardwinning documentary films. Robert Marshall Wells, Ph.D., associate professor of communication and faculty adviser to MediaLab since its inception, has been appointed director of the new Center for Media Studies. Wells says outreach, engagement , teaching and learning will be the top priorities.

“MediaLab will continue to exist and will simply become part of the new Center,� Wells said. “The real intent here is to increase the overall capacity of our programs and do an even better job of integrating our campus with surrounding communities. We can help and learn a great deal from each other.� By no later than spring 2015, the Center also will begin offering continuing education classes, evening and weekend workshops, and online courses, all of which will be open to the general public, not just matriculating PLU students. “Stay tuned. A lot of exciting new things are in the works,� said Wells. “Our ultimate goal is to make PLU the destination point for anyone who wants to learn about arts, design, communication or media.� A public event to celebrate the launch of the new Center will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18 at B Sharp Coffee House at 706 Court C, Tacoma, 98402. Special remarks will be made at 6:15 p.m. Those interested in attending are encouraged to register for the event at: plu.edu/mediastudies, or call (253) 5357150 for more information. Natalie DeFord is a freelance writer based in Tacoma and a member of MediaLab at PLU. She can be reached at: defordnh@plu.edu.

Every main Tacoma street seems to have them in some degree of decay and neglect, so city officials are stepping up the fight against them. Business signs on public land, postings for yard sales, lost pet notices and musical act flyers taped to electrical posts are illegal. And they always have been. City officials are reminding people that posting signs on public rights of way, utility poles and bridges could cost $250. Tacoma’s code compliance enforcement staffers are removing these illegal signs when they see them and may also contact the poster hanger for possible citation. “We want to educate our residents and businesses about the sign regulations and help them find appropriate places to put their signs up, such as community boards or Internet sites,� said Gary Crawford, tax and license compliance officer, in an announcement of the stepped-up enforcement. The sign code helps promote a cleaner Tacoma, which in turn helps attract business development and makes the community more welcoming to visitors and residents by

The bigger issue of blighted billboards around the city is likely on its way back into the news. The city and billboard owner Clear Channel signed a two-year agreement in 2012 that would allow a review of the codes as well as the removal of about 30 billboards. Some 70 billboards have since been removed, and the agreement expired last month. What many consider the biggest billboard eyesore, located in front of the Tacoma Art Museum and in the middle of the Prairie Line trail pathway at Pacific Avenue and South Hood Street, was removed last month. The University of Washington Tacoma will open the trail segment running through campus in a few weeks, while the city will construct the Pacific Avenue to Foss

Labor Day epilogue: Partnering for success By Don C. Brunell Over the Labor Day weekend, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee gave a compelling commentary on the need for employers and employees to set aside their differences and partner. Easier said than done, especially in today’s often vitriolic and politically charged atmosphere. Huckabee bashed those who detest unions and those who trash employers – and rightly so. Success today hinges on a balance between the “job creators� and the “job holders� based on mutual respect, fair treatment and job satisfaction. If American companies are to thrive, both sides must pull together. Think of a rowing crew: Without a competitive scull – the employer – there would be no boat to row; and without a talented well-trained crew – the employees – the scull would remain dockside. When Alan Mulally became CEO of Ford Motor Company, he worked with the United Auto Workers (UAW) on an agreement that averted the carmaker’s demise, trading new product commitments from Ford for competitive labor contracts. It was a high-stakes play that paid off last year, when healthy profits allowed Ford to pay all the hourly factory workers a record profit-sharing $8,800 bonus. It was a win-win, and Ford returned to prosperity without a government bailout. Good leaders bury the hatchet and find ways to work together. As a team

they do amazing things. For example, in 1978 a bitter strike closed the aging Crown Zellerbach pulp and paper mill in Camas for nine months. After the new contract was signed, the union teamed with management to persuade the legislature to reinstate tax incentives it had promised to the company as part of its $425 million upgrade of the mill. The partnership between Crown Zellerbach and the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers was largely responsible for the project’s completion despite double-digit interest rates, inflation and unemployment. The relationship developed further when CZ formed management-worker teams that solved technical problems in the plant. In fact, 15 years ago when the state was debating ergonomics rules, state regulators found that some of the most innovative equipment designed to prevent back injuries and muscle strains was developed at the Camas mill. Many family-owned businesses have a culture of harmony in the workplace. Their employees take pride in their work and their work is appreciated and rewarded by their employers. Nelson Irrigation in Walla Walla is an innovative and forward thinking family business that is successfully competing worldwide. Company founder Bart Nelson is continually on the factory floor, in the development labs and working with customers. He knows everybody working there and they know and trust him and his family.

Unions and employers can co-exist. In fact, our family experienced the management-labor relationship from both sides. We were raised in Montana in a union family and in a union town. Dad was an officer in IBEW Local 623, and mom was in the union representing the support staff in Butte’s public schools. After high school, I joined the miner’s union while working in the underground copper mines. We also ran a business. For more than 30 years, our family owned the Walkerville Garbage Service. Dad and an uncle collected the trash for our 500 customers, mom handled the bookkeeping and my brothers, sister and I went door-to-door each month to collect the payments. The most valuable lesson we kids learned from this experience was the difference between income and profit. To our surprise, there were months when the expenses exceeded the money we collected. There always will be differences in the workplace, just as there are in families. As long as there is respect, appreciation and partnering, America’s job creators and job holders can beat the competition anywhere on the globe. 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.

Educating the Taliban: Lessons in counterterrorism from Professor Khan By Rizwan Zulfiqar Bhutta Pakistan’s Tribal region is the assumed headquarters of one of the most dangerous militant organizations, Tehreek Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which began an insurgency against the state in 2007. During the ongoing security forces operation “Zarb-E-Azb� against TTP, Pakistan’s army celebrated on Friday, Aug. 29, when Professor Ajmal Khan, vice-chancellor of Islamia College University, was freed after four years in Taliban captivity. But the keys to his freedom involve not only governmental actions or the protestations of Pakistan citizens, but also Khan’s own secret, powerful weapon: Education. The Pakistani Taliban abducted Khan from Peshawar in September 2010, and for four years he wondered at what moment the TTP would simply shoot him and release video of his killing as a warning to others. Khan appeared in several TTPorchestrated video messages asking the government to negotiate his release. Government officials said that, despite

many rounds of back-channel talks in the past, the Taliban had refused to release Khan and demanded the release of important militant commanders held by Pakistan security forces. Pakistan human rights activists, university teaching staff and students in the Northwest had protested Khan’s kidnapping many times but all efforts to recover him were futile. During his time in captivity, Khan started teaching two children of the Taliban. As time passed, other children came to learn, and by the time he was released, Khan was teaching English and math to 32 children of Taliban members. On his return, Khan wore a long beard and appeared in good health despite his long captivity. The militants had treated him well, giving him medication for his heart condition and a radio so he could keep up with current affairs. Perhaps one effective effort toward Khan’s relatively favorable treatment and release was his own – dedication to education, despite and because of the threat of imminent violence. Education is one critical investment

we can make as a global society toward the eradication of organized violence and terrorism, and Khan’s investment in his education and that of 32 children may have kept him physically unharmed during his four-year tenure as a Taliban prisoner. Inside the lion’s den, Khan planted seeds of self-actualization and critical thought that may grow in coming years, but we’ll need to water those seeds as a global community. Khan was willing to improve the world – especially the world of those 32 children – while under threat of violence, and we should follow his example despite and because of the epidemic of violence we currently face. Khan, like many around the world, was surrounded by weapons of destruction. But it is the weapons of construction and transformation, such as education, which are the most powerful of all.

The state Supreme Court is pondering whether to sanction state lawmakers for failing to adequately fund public schools or even develop a plan to do so. Judges must decide the matter in the continual story regarding the landmark “McCleary v. State of Washington� case that charged that the state was not following the state Constitution, which clearly asserts that funding public education is the “paramount duty� of the legislature. The high court ruled that the state was underfunding education and ordered lawmakers to meet their Constitutional mandate by adding $3.8 billion to the state’s public education system. That was back in 2012. Lawmakers found $1 billion for more public education in the current budget, but neither funded the full amount called for in the McCleary decision, nor did they present a plan to get to that $3.8 billion amount in the foreseeable future. The plantiffs, made up of parent groups, educational programs and school districts, see the lack of process and how state lawmakers are continuing to fail Washington’s children. The matter made its way back to court recently, when the plaintiffs asked the Supreme Court to hold lawmakers in contempt of court for not following the order the court issued in January for more educational funding by the end of the year. The plan would establish a road map to fully fund educations by 2018, but that would require a special session and there seems little potential that they will to do that before the regular session starts in 2015. During a hearing on Sept. 3, Supreme Court judges ordered state attorneys to present their case against why lawmakers shouldn’t be held in contempt. A contempt order could mean everything from fining lawmakers for failing to develop a plan that was ordered by the judges, to earmarking money to fully fund education so lawmakers would have fewer dollars for other programs such as roads, social services and government programs. Obviously, state attorneys argued that such action would hamper efforts to build on what little progress has been made and do more damage to the state as a whole than giving the legislature more time to find solutions through the political process. Lawmakers want another year to develop a plan. If allowed, it would be the third time lawmakers have stalled on forwarding a plan after previous deadlines had come and gone without it. So the basic question is, “When is enough enough?� To be fair, lawmakers have a slate of important issues to deal with and limited money to fund solutions to them in an increasingly politicized arena of grandstanding and governmental chess playing. But the state Constitution is the guiding document of their efforts and that document states: “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste or sex.� Washington’s is the only state constitution to specifically use the words “paramount duty.� Those two words seem to make the decision clear. The first and most important duty of Washington’s lawmakers is to fund public education. They have not only failed to do that for decades, but thrice failed to develop a plan to do so when the state’s highest court ordered them to do just that. The state’s argument that it has many pressing issues that also demand funding doesn’t hold much weight since none of those demands have the label of “paramount duty.� Roads, law enforcement, mental health funding and the host of other state issues are secondary to education. And yet lawmakers have not followed the high court’s ruling, leaving the court not much wiggle room to avoid penalizing state lawmakers.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, As a former resident but now a visitor to Tacoma, I picked up your paper to see what was happening in town. When I turned to the editorial page of the Friday, Sept. 5 issue I saw a cartoon of a militarized police officer shooting a citizen dead that was puerile and offensive at the same time, no small feat. Now, like many of us, I’m of two minds about the increasing militarization of our police forces, as if they’re occupying armies – but I also know that our law enforcement is also frequently outgunned by gangs and other deviancy in today’s society. I understand that the purpose of editorial cartoons is to provoke discussion, to satirize, and to make statements with images instead of volumes of words, but this image seems beyond the pale; was it really your intent to depict law enforcement as out of control murderers? If so, I see it as a polemic, rather than any rational or unemotional view of an issue we have to deal with. Tacoma Weekly, while I’m not one of your subscribers or routine readers, I am part of a cohort that enjoys reading a real newspaper – but the inexplicable editorial judgment you displayed in running that cartoon will hasten the day when your industry either disappears or goes digital.

W Dam

From page A1

“That just doesn’t keep up with demand,� Johnson said. The system needs to be able to handle up to 60,000 fish a day. The difference between the growing demand and current capabilities of the system leaves thousands of fish listed as endangered species to die, either by bludgeoning themselves against a concrete dam they could never pass on their own, or exhaustion from the added stress they face while being trucked upstream. Just following rough numbers, that means two out of three salmon that enter the river system during peak times die before they spawn because of the outdated dam. “This facility has been a big part of my career, going on 25 years,� Puyallup Tribal Resource Protection Manager Russ Ladley said. Days of long hours become weeks and months of counting and recording the fish, only to see many more die at the down-river side of the dam or finding their way through the fish diversion and into trucks, too injured to spawn. A proposed replacement dam would allow crews to process the fish shuttling faster and increase salmon spawning in the waterway, and even control the flow of water to guide the fish upstream. “That’s going to be the key,� Ladley said. The Puyallup Tribe releases about 1.6 million Chinook into the river system each year through its hatchery. The target is to get 95 percent of the fish through the system. “A lot of things go into that number,� Johnson said, noting that that survival rate would not only require a new dam but larger trucks and more shuttles. The struggle now is cost. At $90 million, a new dam would be considered a major project for the Corps at a time when federal dollars are tight. “Anytime you approach $100 million, that’s going to be a challenge,� he said. While having conservation groups and fishwatching citizens lobby their elected officials to back funding for the project would boost the chances of getting money for the dam included in budget talks, federal changes that forbid federal lawmakers from earmarking money for specific projects like a new dam muddy the waters. That’s where American Rivers steps into the discussion. The non-profit environmental group listed the White River on its list of Top 10 Most Endangered Rivers in the nation to raise awareness of the troubles at the dam system and has filed legal papers to sue the Corps of Engineers for failing to replace the dam after decades of pressure from Puget Sound tribes and environmental groups. The National Marine Fisheries Service added to the dam debate by issuing a biological opinion in 2007 under the Endangered Species Act requiring the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to upgrade the fish trap. Yet nothing has happened. “Over $150 million in taxpayer funds are spent each year to restore salmon to rivers and streams around the Puget Sound,� American Rivers stated in its declaration. “This investment is undermined every year when thousands — even hundreds of thousands in some years — of salmon and steelhead die at the antiquated and dangerous Buckley Diversion Dam fish collection facilities on the White River, due to the poor condition of this dam and its undersized fish trap.� The current proposal track is to submit plans for a replacement dam into the 2018 federal budget and have a target opening date of 2020. Tackling the whole project in a series of phases in an effort to lower the initial price tag would cause costs to soar and hamper current operations, so Corps officials are planning to do the full dam replacement in a single project. “We are looking at really doing the whole job,� Johnson said. “The need to get this done is so dire that we are trying to get it all done. We have a lot of support from the headquarters level. We just need the money.�

DAM.The Buckley dam system was not designed for fish passage and modifications have not been able to

keep up with demand. The fish trap that was added to the dam can handle up to 20,000 salmon a day, when more than 60,000 could pass if the system was more efficient. A recent gathering of environmental groups and city officials from around Puget Sound gathered for a tour, led by Puyallup Tribal Resource Protection Manager Russ Ladley (middle, right), to build support to gain federal dollars for the project.

Species Act. State and tribal hatcheries currently produce more than 146 million salmon and steelhead every year. Major watersheds that would be covered by the plan include the Nooksack, Skagit, Stillaguamish, Snohomish, Lake Washington, Green, Puyallup, Nisqually, Skokomish, Dosewallips, Duckabush, Hamma Hamma, Dungeness and

Elwha. Alternatives to the proposed action plan include taking no action at all, increasing hatchery production to almost 170 million fish to increase harvest benefits and decreasing hatchery production to 135 million fish and reducing harvest accordingly. Hatcheries produce about 70 percent of the

coastal salmon and steelhead catch. As their natural habitat was degraded by human development and activities like dams, forest practices and urbanization during the last century, the role of hatcheries shifted toward mitigation for lost natural production and reduced harvest opportunity. In recent decades, the fishery programs have evolved to also support conservation and the recovery of natural salmon by reintroducing them to areas where local populations have been lost. A catch is that hatchery fish production presents risks to natural salmon and steelhead because of

the genetic limitations of hatchery stock, competition between the different fish stocks and the incidental harvest of natural fish while collecting hatchery fish. “It’s a balancing act,� Puyallup Tribe’s Enhancement Biologist Blake Smith said. “We do a lot of monitoring to determine what the balance is. It is no small undertaking I can tell you that, but everyone is trying to do the right thing. They really are� Doing the right thing for fish takes time, however, so it should be noted that there is no timeline for the release of the final NOAA plan.

W Transportation From page A1

Plan is intended to provide innovative plans and policy interventions to help North Downtown achieve its tremendous potential for economic development, an outcome that will deliver a broad range of equitable social and enviromnental benefits at both the local and regional scales,� the report draft stated. “When taken together with the Hilltop Subarea Plan, the North Downtown Plan heIps to set the stage for the needed federal, state and regional funding applications for the pIanned Link light rail extension through the Stadium and Hilltop neighborhoods.� The draft plan doesn’t call for drastic changes, more just a collection of tweaks and clarifications. One proposed change, for example, would drop the neighborhood’s target of retaining the 420 onstreet parking spaces to more generic language that would remove the 420 number but call for retention of those spaces as well as promote the addition of more stalls without inhibiting future bus or other mass transit improvements. This change is largely caused by the planned Sound Transit light rail routing through the area that is currently working its way through its own review process. The current draft contains suggested changes from the city’s Planning Commission after more than a year of review and hearings. “The plan will serve as a statement of the city’s commitment to, and direction for, future development in the North Downtown Subarea in addition to serving as a resource for potential investors, property owners, the community and other public agencies,� Commission Chairman Sean Gaffney stated. The plan dovetails into current policies that address everything from transportation, land use, affordable housing, open space, brownfield reclamation potentials, capital facilities and utilities. Cities are required to draft and update development plans under the state’s Growth Management Act and Vision 2040 requirements.

The new rules are expected to face a full council decision on Sept. 23, after four rounds of hearings on the committee level. The rules would take effect in October. “We can always go back and change something later, but I would rather get it right the first time,� City Councilmember and Committee Chairman Joe Lonergan said during a recent hearing. Much of the changes to the regulations surrounding for-hire transportation providers, be they traditional cabs or the new “casual drivers� through Uber or Lyft, surrounded requirements for $90 business licenses to operate within the city and a $15,000 fee for the umbrella companies to cover the expense of administrating the oversight system, but that fee would shift to a per-ride fee in future years. The driver’s business license would only be $25 if gross income is less than $12,000 a year. One issue, however, surrounds insurance requirement for the “casual drivers� since most

automobile insurance policies are set for only personal use and don’t have clauses to cover periodic for-hire trips. Insurance companies either issue policies for private cars or commercial vehicles, which are at much higher rates that would stymie the rise of the new appdispatched systems. “The playing field has really changed because of technology,� Mayor Marilyn Strickland said during a committee hearing on the issue. Tacoma, as well as many other metropolitan cities around the country, have rules governing the new transportation model, mostly by setting requirements for insurance, background checks and safety inspections for vehicles, which are all areas addressed by the umbrella companies for drivers to begin accepting passengers through their peer-to-peer transportation network. The package of changes would lower the requirements for traditional cab companies and drivers as well. The proposals would increase the age of cabs from nine to 10 years, drop the requirement for in-car cameras and shift to a biannual licensing system instead of requiring license renewals every year.

licensing and oversight of for-hire taxi services to the city in an effort to streamline the system. The county could, however, change that through its own review process. The city has regulated the taxi industry to provide for the safe, fair and efficient operation of taxicabs since 1942, but those codes were overhauled in 2006, when the city set safety and inspection requirements. A call on social media for drivers and passengers who used Uber or Lyft gained a host of responses, largely about how easy the services were as well as praise for the fact that no money changes hands directly. The mobile app does that work. “I’ve used Uber three times, all in Seattle,� stated Joel Larson in one of those responses. “Each time, my driver arrived in less than five minutes. One instance, I put in the request, put my phone in my pocket, walked out the door, and the car was pulling up to the curb. What I like best about Uber is that no money changes hands. You’re not scrounging for a tip. This was especially nice when I had Uber drive me home from Seattle to Tacoma. Flat rate, all said and done, and my driver was more than happy to take me to T-town.�

Foss stumbles, MT snaps losing streak

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

T

acoma and Narrows league football kicked off the season Friday, Sept. 5 and the Grit City’s teams came away looking pretty solid with four wins and two losses. The Tacoma Weekly was onhand for the pigskin doubleheader at Mt. Tahoma Stadium featuring the Foss Falcons hosting the Auburn Mountainview Lions from the 3A South Puget Sound League, followed by the Mt. Tahoma T-Birds against the Stadium Tigers in a non-league tilt.

With a new signal caller behind center in Chris “Scooby” Reynolds, Foss looked out of sorts on its first possession and was forced to punt after three straight plays with no-gain. It took four plays and two big Foss penalties and the Lions were on the board 7-0 on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Gresh Jensen to wide receiver Gavin Robertson. Foss was unable to get its offense ontrack in its second possession and punted after another three-and-out. Auburn answered with a 8-play, 65-yard drive culminating in a six-yard touchdown pass from Jensen to Ki’jan Weisinger for a 14-0 lead. At this point, the Falcons’ offense took a surprising turn for the better as Foss put together an incredible 22-play, 79-yard drive that chewed-up more than 10 minutes of the play clock. It was a tough one to swallow, however, as the drive came to an end just inches shy of the end zone. Reynolds scrambled toward the right pile-on on fourth-andgoal, and as he reached the three-yard line, the ball squirted out of his hands, toward the goal line, and was recovered by the Lions approximately 18-inches from the goal. The Falcons’ defense responded to the strong effort and kept Auburn from moving the ball on its following three possessions before halftime. Following a Foss personal foul penalty on the kickoff, Auburn went to work from the 50-yard line and three minutes later Jensen ran the ball up the middle for another Lions’ score and a 21-0 lead with 8:43 remaining in the third quarter.

Winning one state championship at the highly competitive 4A classification is usually a once in a generation deal for most schools. Getting it done in back-to-back years can put a program in the rare-air conversations that include phrases such as “maybe the best ever.” Now that the Bellarmine Prep girls volleyball program has accomplished the backto-back part, the long season march has begun toward the ultimate goal of a third state title and the word that comes along with three titles in a row: “Dynasty” After graduating four seniors from the undefeated 2013 squad, including two-time state player of the year Courtney Schwan, this season looks different on paper but pretty similar on the court with six seniors, some good size and a whole lot of talent. Much like last season’s first contest, Bellarmine faced a familiar foe in the Puyallup Vikings. The Lady Lions defeated the Vikings in the 2012 state tournament and eked out a close match at Puyallup to open the 2013 season. This year, Bellarmine would do the hosting, and as usual, Puyallup proved to be a driven and athletic bunch. “This was our very first match,” said Bellarmine head coach Jody DeGroot. “We have a long list of things to work on, but that’s okay.

It was a non-league “friendly� soccer match, but that’s just not how things go when Stadium and Wilson square off against each other on the soccer pitch. Kicking off the 2014 season at Stadium bowl Tuesday, Sept 9, the Lady Tigers and Lady Rams played like a win was really going to mean something. In the end, neither squad earned the victory, but the journey to the 2-2 tie was exciting until the final whistle. Just four minutes into the match, Wilson senior midfielder Nadia Afifi lofted a shot from 30 yards out that proved too high for junior Stadium goalkeeper Addy Eckstom and landed in the back-right of the net. Wilson led 1-0. Ten minutes later, Stadium had its best early chance as junior midfielder Kristi Williams punched a free kick just inches over the cross bar from 25-yards out. Another ten minutes later and the ball was ricocheting around the Wilson goal box and somehow bounced directly into junior goalkeeper Paige Costello’s waiting mitts. It was two solid chances and no points for the Lady Tigers. In the 33rd minute senior midfielder Adalya Granberry sent a long lead pass across the field to sophomore midfielder

Maddie Lecce, who had a defender on her hip. Lecce spun, gathered control of the ball and sent a high shot from 25-yards just over the leaping arms of Eckstom for another Lady Rams goal and a 2-0 advantage. As time was nearly expired in the first half, Stadium junior captain Emma Lynch got behind her defender and barely got a toe on the ball in the box before Costello could pick the ball up. The ball rebounded off of the goalkeeper’s face back to Lynch who tried to redirect the next shot, but ended up punching the ball straight into the arms of Costello and it was halftime. The second half started with Wilson slightly more on the offensive for the first 15 minutes and the rest of the way it was Stadium on the attack. The only problem was, they couldn’t find the back of the net try-after-try. In the 17th minute, Stadium freshman midfielder Kiara Rivera drilled a shot just over the crossbar from 25 yards out. Two minutes later her teammate, sophomore forward Sam Putnam found herself with the ball and a one-on-one opportunity with Costello and drove the shot right at the keeper for the save. Ten minutes later, junior midfielder Jordan Swenddal gathered a ricochet off a Stadium corner-kick and pounded the ball toward the goal, only to have the ball sail all the way into the Stadium Bowl brush

hill. In the final ten minutes the game got a whole lot more physical as Stadium junior midfielder Sarah Boucher and Wilson’s Lecce both left the game limping after two separate hard fouls. As the game steamrolled to a finish, Stadium would not go softly into the night being dealt a shutout in its own stadium. Between the 6:30 and 2:30 minute marks left in the game, the Lady Tigers delivered seven shots on the Wilson goal and still had a zero on the scoreboard. And then it happened. With less than two minutes remaining in regulation, Stadium’s Lynch got past the Wilson defense again and faced Costello in the box one-on-one, again. This time, the left foot was true and sizzled low and to the back right of the net. Wilson now led 2-1. Thirty seconds later, Lynch drove a shot that hit the cross-bar square and bounced back into play. Another minute into extratime and Lynch was at it again, this time knocking a shot off of Costello and then punching the ball a foot wide of the right post. With perhaps a minute left in extratime, the play on the pitch was at full-on frenzy. Following a throw-in on the Wilson end, the Lady Rams’ Nadia Affifi was unlucky enough to have the ball bounce up and hit her in the arm – in the penalty box.

Time for a penalty kick Stadium’s Williams quickly set the ball up for the penalty shot. The referee blew his whistle to continue and Williams went low and to the right and the Lady Tigers had tied the match at 2-2 and that was where it would end. “This was our first test as a team and I thought they responded well,� said new Wilson head coach Brian Lawson. “You’ve got to be able to close-out games though. We have a lot of young players that being new and being young might have played a little bit into that. But we’ll go back and learn how to be consistent for a full 80 minutes instead of 75.� Second-year Stadium head coach Jeremy Leffel felt positive about the way his team closed out the match. “It’s always competition,� said Leffel. “The girls were into it, preseason or not, they wanted it. It’s Wilson and crosstown. It’s a good way to start and this tie kind of feels like a win. It’s up to them finding that motivation the whole time. From that moment forward it was all-out pressure. Five minutes of us dominating the game finally.� Wilson begins 3A Narrows league play and will next host Capital at Stadium Bowl on Sept. 16 at 7:15 p.m. Stadium begins 4A Narrows play and will return home to face Yelm Sept. 25 at 7:15 p.m.

Meadow Park Golf Course will play host to the 2014 Tacoma Open with a lineup of golf professionals with local roots and national titles—serving up championship golf in a home-course setting. Pro golfer Michael Putnam will return to his hometown at the Tacoma Open on September 19-21. Putnam was named the 2013 Web.com Tour Player of the Year and was the Web.com Tour’s regular season leading money winner. He is a current PGA Tour player, and will be shooting for an $8,000,000 purse at the Tour Championship by Coca Cola the week prior to the Tacoma Open. Andrew Yun, Stanford golf standout and 1st Team All American, grew up at Meadow Park Golf Course learning to play the game. The 23-year-old attended Bellarmine Prep before moving to Arizona, where he could fine-tune his game year-round. Yun earned a scholarship to Stanford University, where he produced the third-lowest career scoring average in the program’s history – trailing only Tiger Woods and Patrick Rodgers. Putnam will tee up alongside Yun and other pros including John Cassidy, PGA, current Washington Open champion; Derek Barron, current Oregon Open champion; Mark Wurtz, former PGA Tour player; Corey Prugh, PGA, from Spokane; TJ Bordeaux, from Tacoma and current member of PGA Tour-Canada, and Shane Prante, 2013 Northwest Open champion. For amateurs—from casual golfers to more experienced club players—the thrill of playing a 54-hole tournament alongside these and other pros is as easy as clicking a button on the website. Tournament registration for both amateurs and professionals closes Thursday, Sept.11 at TacomaOpen.com. Professionals are invited to join the tournament and shoot for one of the largest purses in the region. Pros have the option of either choosing the amateurs they want in their group, or letting tournament organizers create the groups. The entire purse is $35,000. The top professional wins $10,000, top amateur $750, and for everyone, the entire weekend is a golfing dream come true. Capitalizing on the excitement surrounding the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, the Tacoma Open at Meadow Park Golf Course will be expanded in the future to include: 2014, 2015 and 2016 Tacoma Open Pro-Am Tournaments, 2015 Tacoma Open Skins Game and 2015 U.S. Open Viewing Party and Community Jamboree. The Tacoma Open supports youth access to the game of golf along with its character building values. Proceeds from the event will benefit Meadow Park Golf Course’s education and golf access programs to make golf affordable and to help develop a community golf learning center. Meadow Park is a 100-year old public communityorientated golf facility, hosting the largest Special Olympics program and tournament in the state; creating the state’s first FootGolf course; supporting seven different high school golf teams and a six team junior golf league; and partnering with The First Tee of South Puget Sound to offer learning and playing opportunities. Together, these experiences at Meadow Park provide over 6,000 youth and special needs golf experiences each year. Meadow Park Golf Course is a facility of Metro Parks Tacoma and is located at 7108 Lakewood Dr. W., Tacoma.

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, 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 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.

A strong defensive effort led by Matt Gilbert and Max Mirande propelled the University of Puget Sound football

team past Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, 13-10, at Peyton Field on Saturday, Sept. 6. Gilbert came away with a pair of interceptions and Mirande totaled a team-high 14 tackles (11 solo) in the winning effort. The Stags’ attempt to tie the game with a last-second 49-yard field-goal attempt came up short. CMS opened the scoring midway through the first quarter after Trey Reynolds hit Chris Cziesla for a 10-yard touchdown pass, but the Loggers got on the board in the second quarter thanks to a 22-yard field goal by Sawyer Petre. The Stags tried to respond in their ensuing possession, but Nasser Abdelrasul picked-off Reynolds and returned the interception 40 yards before being pushed out of bounds at the CMS 25-yard line. Sophomore quarterback Hans Fortune, filling in for the injured Braden Foley, promptly found Kevin Miller down the middle of the field for a 25-yard touchdown strike that gave Puget Sound a 10-7 edge heading into halftime. The Stags evened the score with a field goal late in the third quarter, but Petre’s second field goal of the game, a 32-yard try with 2:58 on the clock in the fourth quarter, stood as the game-winning points. The Loggers and Stags kept pace with each other throughout the game. Puget Sound gained more yards on the ground (107) than CMS (103), and the Stags narrowly beat the Loggers in passing yards, 160-154. Both teams turned the ball over four times. The Loggers open their season with a home win for the first time since Sept. 4, 2010, when they beat Pacific, 36-19. Puget Sound next plays at Occidental on Saturday, September 13. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

The Pacific Lutheran women’s soccer team’s offensive eruption continued Sunday Sept. 7, as the Lutes scored twice in each half to close out the non-conference schedule with a 4-0 win against St. Thomas (MN.). Kaylie Rozell scored both goals in the first half for the Lutes, knocking in her first of the day from the center of the field from 18 yards out following a pass from Lauren Larson in the 27th minute. Rozell’s second goal came off a pass from Kelly White as White tapped a short pass on a free kick about 19 yards out and Rozell knocked a line shot that bounced off the crossbar and just over the line for the score in the 36th minute. St. Thomas gave the Lutes their third goal, as a Tommie defender unintentionally scored the own-goal less than four minutes into the second half. Larson capped the day with her third goal of the weekend in the 74th minute, taking a cross from Jamie Hoffman and sending it in from close range. The Lutes conclude their non-conference schedule with a 2-1-1 record, including wins in each of their last two matches by a combined score of 9-0, including a 5-0 victory over Evergreen State on Sept. 5. St. Thomas fell to 1-3 this season with the loss. PLU out-shot St. Thomas 15-6, including a 7-1 advantage in shots on goal. Takara Mitsui started in goal and played the first 80 minutes for the Lutes, tallying one save while preserving the shutout until Bryce Kennedy came on for the final 10 minutes of action. Tarynn Theilig played all 90 minutes in the net for the Tommies, allowing the three goals with four saves. The Northwest Conference took notice of the Pacific Lutheran women’s soccer team’s dominant weekend performance, naming Larson and White the Offensive and Defensive Student-Athletes of the Week following PLU’s combined 9-0 performance against Evergreen and St. Thomas (MN) over the weekend. Larson scored three of the Lutes’ nine weekend goals and assisted on another score for PLU. The junior forward scored the first goal (and eventual game-winner) against Evergreen on Friday and added a second goal following halftime of that match before scoring one more time in Sunday’s 4-0 win against St. Thomas. For the weekend she tallied seven points and scored her three goals on only five shot attempts. On the defensive side, sophomore White keyed a PLU effort that tallied a pair of shutouts. She played all 180 minutes as the Lutes limited their two opponents to a combined 11 shots. She follows goalkeeper Mitsui, who claimed the conference defensive honor last weekend for the Lutes. The Lutes open Northwest Conference play at crosstown rival and twenty-third ranked University of Puget Sound on Saturday, Sept. 13 at 12 p.m.

Eighteenth-ranked Pacific Lutheran fell victim to a three-set sweep by No. 4 Cal Lutheran before taking a 3-0 victory over Redlands to finish 3-1 at the Cal Lu Fornia Invitational. The Lutes were swept by CLU with set scores of 23-25, 18-25 and 18-25. In the late afternoon match, the Lutes completed the sweep of the Bulldogs with scores of 25-19, 25-17 and 25-7. “A great weekend for us,� said head coach Kevin Aoki. “Cal Lu is a very good team that caused us some trouble. We came out of the match knowing we can play with a topfive team but will have to get better as the season moves on.� Next up for the Lutes is a Wednesday, Sept. 10 matchup at Evergreen State. This will be PLU’s final preseason game before starting conference play at home on Friday, Sept. 19 against the Whitworth Pirates.

struck gold when Reynolds swept to his right, beating two Auburn defenders to the corner and weaved his way 42 yards down the field for a touchdown and the score was 21-6 after the blocked pointafter attempt. The Foss defense stuffed Auburn on its following possession, and after starting from its own 33-yard line, Foss found itself looking at first-and-10 from the Auburn 15. Foss got down to the 10-yard line and no further as the Auburn defense swarmed into the backfield, shutting down the Falcons’ fourth down attempt. Auburn mounted a 75-yard drive to follow that was snuffed-out by a Reynolds interception that he returned all the way to the Auburn 40-yard line. It was not to be though, as the Auburn defense stiffened again shutting out Foss on four straight plays. The Lions scored the game’s final points with 2:11 remaining in the game on a three-yard scamper by Bitner Wilson following a 60-yard drive. Despite the rough start and some confusion at times, the Falcons put together a gutsy performance on both sides of the ball and were threatening to tighten up the score several times. Ultimately, surrendering 192 yards in penalties was also a big hit to the team’s momentum and gave Auburn bonus field position several times. Foss (0-1) returns to action Friday, Sept. 12 as they host the 4A Narrows league Yelm Tornadoes (1-0) at Mt. Tahoma Stadium at 7:30 p.m.

now. So that was good.� The Lady Lions weathered a few strong runs by the Vikings to win the match in three straight sets, 25-13, 25-20, 25-19. In the first set, senior Reghan Pukis helped Bellarmine to an early 9-2 advantage on the strength of a six-point, four ace service set. Pukis would go onto tally four kills in the set and added another ace later in the set. Senior Claire Martin closed the book on the first tilt with a block for point 24 and slammed home the 25th on a perfect assist from senior Natalie Jensen. The second set was a much more back-and-forth affair between the two teams. A total of nine Lady Lions tallied at least a point with strong performance from the entire squad. Puyallup trailed by as many as 11 points in the set, but fought back with a strong play from Addison Pecha to pull within two points at 20-22. A bad Viking serve, a great combination point from Hannah Pukis to McKenzie Schwan and another Jensen-to-Martin kill ended the Puyallup threat and closed the second set. Puyallup actually led 2-0 in the third set, but would fall behind 9-3 after two solid runs by the Lady Lions. The Vikings pulled within two points at 8-10 on a strong service set from Pecha and again at 13-15 following a five point run that included a couple of Bellarmine net violations. The Lady Lions would build a five-point cushion at 20-15 on a kill by Martin. Puyallup wouldn’t go away for the remainder nearly matching Bellarmine point-for-point until Schwan got the last kill of the set and the match was won. Coach DeGroot was all-around pleased with her team’s performance but knows there a few things her new team is going to have to improve on. “We’ve been working on the mental part of our game and coming from behind,� DeGroot said.� That’s something we need to work on and we practice that. You’ve got to be able to come from behind, because it’s going to happen at some point.� Bellarmine begins 4A Narrows league play immediately and will host rival Gig Harbor Monday, Sept. 15 at 4:45 p.m.

It’s been more than two full seasons since Mt. Tahoma had walked off of the field with a victory under its belt and they had to fight tooth and nail against the visiting 4A Narrows league Tigers to make another one happen. Both squads put together a hard-hitting, defensive showdown that yielded just six points in the first half when Mt. Tahoma quarterback Adrian Allen connected with receiver Isaiah Hudson for an eight-yard touchdown pass with one minute remaining in the half. It was the second time the two had hooked-up for big plays in the second quarter, but the first – a 44-yard touchdown pass – was nullified by an illegal man downfield penalty and the T-Birds ultimately turned the ball over on downs

two plays later. Trailing 6-0, Stadium came out after halftime and put together a six-minute, 14-play, 52-yard drive all the way down to the T-Bird three-yard line. Two plays later, Tiger quarterback Cody Schoeler misplaced a handoff to Jalen Scott and the T-Birds’ Hudson fell on the ball at the six-yard line. Stadium would bounce back, recovering a T-Bird fumble four plays later and capped the turnaround with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Schoeler to Christian Garcia-Kennedy for a 7-6 lead with 3:21 remaining in the third quarter. Mt. Tahoma responded with a nineplay, 68-yard scoring drive as Allen raced to the corner pile-on from 10 yards out and the T-Birds led 12-7 with three seconds left in the third quarter. Following a false start and intentional grounding penalty on the next drive, Stadium had to punt from its own six-yard line and Mt. Tahoma’s Anthony Jones brought it back 23-yards to the Stadium 19-yard line. Five plays later, Allen did it again on a 12-yard scramble and dove toward the goal line with the football outstretched, just breaking the plain of the end zone. Mt. Tahoma now led 20-7 with 7:59 left in the contest. Mt. Tahoma intercepted the ball on the next play from scrimmage and took over at the Stadium 10-yard line. Four plays later, play was stopped for nearly 45

minutes as Stadium’s Bernard Tauese was injured and lay face-down on the field. The defensive lineman suffered a concussion and strained neck and lower-back, but that wasn’t found out until the following day by most. A lot of the momentum of the game had left the stadium along with the ambulance and the game resumed with a cloud over the contest. Stadium would keep Mt. Tahoma out of the end zone on fourthand-goal from the five-yard line on the next play and later capitalized on a T-Bird fumble to put another touchdown on the board. With time running out, Mt. Tahoma recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock for the 20-13 win. “It was a good game and a big win for our guys,� said Mt. Tahoma head coach Ricky Daley. “The morale of the whole school is up this week. I’m excited about where we’re at and we’re going to keep taking it one game at a time.� Mt. Tahoma (1-0) returns to the field Friday, Sept. 12 as they host Mt. Douglas (1-0) from Victoria, BC at 4:30 p.m. Stadium (0-1) will host Wilson (1-0) Sept. 12 at 7 p.m.

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 the 2013 fiscal year, the Puyallup Tribe contributed more than $2 million from its charity and general funds into the local community with donations to various charities and organizations such as hospitals, healthcare and medical research, schools, food banks, children’s literacy programs, education, job training‌the list goes on. In 2013 alone the Tribe provided much needed funds to more than 130 of these charities reaching north to Seattle and southward to Tacoma and beyond. Staying true to its tradition as the “generous people,â€? the Puyallups donated $200,000 each to two key area food distributors in December 2013 – Food Lifeline and Northwest Harvest – which feed thousands of families in need during the holidays and throughout the year. Food Lifeline provides food to 275 members of the non-profit’s program network throughout Western Washington that encompasses food banks, food pantries, hot meal programs, shelters and after-school programs. Northwest Harvest is Washington’s statewide hunger relief agency comprised of more than 360 food banks, meal programs and high-need schools as unique as the communities they serve. In Tacoma, St. Leo Food Connection received $90,000 from the Tribe in 2013. Director Kevin Glackin-Coley said, “The support from the Puyallup Tribe is an essential component in our ability to fight hunger in our community. Their funding has helped us provide healthy, nutritious food at our St. Leo Food Bank as well as provide, throughout the school year, weekend food for kids who otherwise would go hungry all weekend.â€? During 2013, the Tribe donated $80,000 in funds to FISH Food Banks of Pierce County, which serves over half a million clients with more than 6 million pounds of food in the course of a year. And just in time for the holiday season, in December 2013 the Tribe gifted $50,000 to the Puyallup Food Bank. “It’s such a great feeling to be able to take care of those in need,â€? said Tribal Councilmember David Bean. “As Indian people, we’re taught to take care of our land and community, and it’s wonderful

to be in the position to be able to make contributions to help others.� In other areas of the Tribe’s giving, public safety has long been a concern of the Puyallup Tribe, which actively works to help ensure safe and sound communities by providing funds to organizations like Law Enforcement Youth Camp, Violent Crime Victim Services, Northwest Gang Investigators Association and Behind the Badge. In December 2012 and 2013, Tribal representatives presented Toys For Tots/ Crime Stoppers organizers with checks for $250,000, for a total contribution of $500,000. The Tribe’s 2013 donation came just in time, says Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer. Thanks to the Puyallup Tribe, the gift blessed 25,000 children with 52,180 toys. “Without the Tribe’s donation and the monetary ability to go out and

We were able to go out and purchase those gifts and get them to distribution sites so kids would have something under the tree.� Children, seniors and veterans alike all benefit from the Tribe’s sense of community, with contributions in 2013 going to organizations such as Children’s Alliance, Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, Tacoma Lutheran Retirement Community and Bonney Lake Senior Center, National Association for Black Veterans and the 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, among others. Harriett Williams, Community Advocate for the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, said the organization

is grateful for the Puyallup Tribe’s gift of $10,000 to support the Project Learn Program at the Al Davies Branch. “With the generous donation, we are able to serve additional members and extend a child’s learning beyond the classroom, by offering homework help, tutoring and academic enrichment activities.� Working to preserve and support the arts and culture, Tacoma Art Museum, Gig Harbor Film Festival, Wisdom of the Elders, Inc., Museum of Northwest Art, Steilacoom Tribal Museum Cultural Center and more benefitted from the Tribe’s charitable giving in 2013. Even our furry, four-legged companions come under the Tribe’s watchful eye. In 2013, the Tribe gave generously to the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County and South Sound Critter Care.

PABLO MENENDEZ & MEZCLA Pablo Menéndez and his band Mezcla, one of Cuba’s hottest and most talented groups of musicians, will give a free performance at University of Puget Sound on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 7:30 p.m. in Schneebeck Concert Hall. Known for their fusion of Cuban jazz, Afro-Cuban rumba and Cuban rock and son (salsa), the guitarist and his band have been influencing the Caribbean music scene since their formation in 1985. In spring 1994 Mezcla was scheduled to appear on campus with the Afro-Cuban singer Lázaro Ros but the U.S. Department of State denied the band a visa. In 2009 American-born Pablo Ménendez came to campus without his band – who were still denied visas – and thrilled a Tacoma audience with his stories and songs of shared musical traditions. Now, as political relations between the United States and Cuba start to thaw, and with visas approved for Mezcla, we finally have a chance to celebrate what brings us together, with Pablo and Mezcla at Puget Sound.

All hail Storm Large

AMAZON. Punk diva Storm Large brought songs from her new album, “LeBonheur,” to Broadway Center on Sept. 4. By Bill Bungard Special to Tacoma Weekly

Storm Large and her Portland-based band opened Broadway Center’s season Sept. 4, with an intimate set at Theatre on the Square. Her voice was powerful yet sultry as she delivered such original, fan favorites as “8 Miles Wide” and edgy covers of material by Black Sabbath, Olivia Newton John, Tom Waits and more. Her solid, new backing band, Le Bonheur – featured on her forthcoming new album of the same name – included James Beaton on piano, Scott Weddle on guitar and Greg Eklund on drums.

Large is best known nationally for appearing on the reality TV show “Rock Star: Super Nova” in 2006 and regionally for crafting a punk-infused lounge act that showcases her vocal and comedic prowess. Her filthy stage banter kept the crowd in stitches; and, during a more touching moment, she paid tribute to comedy legend Joan Rivers who had passed away earlier that day, speaking about how Rivers paved the way for her brand of humor. Large also made passing reference to former Pink Martini band mate Derek Rieth, who recently committed suicide. She brought a nude painting of herself onstage

that had been given to her by a fan before the show, noting a man that lurked in one corner of the image. “It kind of looks like Derek,” she said, alluding to the struggles that led to his demise. “He will always be in my heart.” Visit www.tacomaweekly.com to find more images from the show. Set list: Under My Skin, It’s Alright, Boom-Boom, I Want You, Stay With Me, Saving All My Love, NIB, Angels, Woman’s Heart, Inside Outside, Maybe This Time, Ne Me Quitte Pas, Hopeless, Call Me Crazy, 8 Miles Wide, Pixies, Total Eclipse, Stand Up For Me

Jazz LIVE at Marine View launches hot new season After taking the summer off, Jazz LIVE at Marine View is ready to kick off its fall season this weekend. The series presents free jazz show once a month at Marine View Presbyterian Church, 8469 Eastside Dr. NE, in Tacoma. Here is the new schedule: The Mark Lewis Quartet featuring Milo Petersen (5 p.m., Sept. 14): Saxophone and flute master Mark Lewis was born in Tacoma and LEWIS COURTESY OF ARTIST studied music at Western Washington University and Cornish College of the Arts before moving away to Europe where he played many of the top clubs and jazz festivals. He also lived in San Francisco and recorded a top 40 jazz album after auditioning for Stan Getz to land a record deal. He is a prolific composer, with more than 1,600 songs to his name; www.marklewismusic.com. Dmitri Matheny (5 p.m., Oct. 12): The Bay Area-based Matheny is a composer, educator, producer and recording artist who the San Jose Mercury News hails as “the first breakthrough flugelhornist since Chuck Mangione.” He leads the Dmitry Matheny Group, a collection of all-star players from around the West; www.dmitrimatheny.com.

ENTRE MUNDOS QUARTETO

DANI GURGEL

Entre Mundos Quarteto (5 p.m., Nov. 16): This energetic, Seattle-based, Brazilian ensemble features vocalist Adriana Giordano, pianist Eric Verlinde, bassist Dean Schmidt and drummer Jeff Busch. Sample the band’s music online at www. reverbnation.com/entremundosquarteto. The sixth annual Michael Powers Holiday Jazz show (5 p.m., Dec. 14): “It’s hard to categorize my music, although it usually ends up in the Jazz record bins,” the Seattle jazz guitarist says. “If I had to put a label on it, I would call it contemporary instrumental music. It’s a sound rooted in the Jazz tradition that keeps pace stylistically with Pop, R&B, and Blues; with Blues being at the core of my inspiration.” Powers has been playing in support of his new “Passport” CD, which you can learn more about at www. michaelpowers.com.

TROPICANA. “Suspended Pod” by Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

Wright Park’s W.W. Seymour Conservatory is currently the venue for a show of works by local artists entitled “Ethnobotany.” The show was curated by the dynamic Lisa Kinoshita, proprietor of Moss + Mineral design studio, renowned jewelry designer and artist and a recipient of the prestigious Greater Tacoma Community Foundation’s Foundation of Art Award. The choice of the Seymour Conservatory as a venue yields mixed results for the art show. The lavish glass palace is home to a veritable jungle of exotic plants that overwhelm some of the artwork. Further, those artworks that are not lost in the foliage simply seem out of place more often than not. Items that do blend with their surroundings without being overwhelmed are the ceramic sculptures of Melissa Balch whose semi-erotic works make incisive observations of human beings as an invasive species and of the corporate obsession with manipulation of the genetic code. A hanging sculpture that blends well with the space is “Suspended Pod” by Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman. This piece is an elegant ornament made of numerous orbs of amber-colored glass. Look for it near the venerable lemon tree near the entrance of the conservatory. A leaded glass and metal contraption called “Podsnappey” by Shannon Eakins and Marc Dombrosky utilizes the greenhouse setting to make a clever pun. The pair has constructed a glass replica of a landmine that is chained to one of the plants. Should that plant experience a growth spurt, the land mine would spew the seeds of invasive species hither and yon.

Doug Johnston’s “Rumpleskillskid,” a kind or burka made of rope (humorously called a “wearable hut”), might be better appreciated in a less distracting setting. The same is true for Jeremy Gregory’s delightful collection of figurines: a group of moonshiners with their jugs of hooch caught in the act of playing music on their rustic instruments. The dude with the washboard is laid out on the leaf of one of the conservatory’s gigantic succulents. Steve Jensen’s carved wooden column blends so well with the greenhouse jungle that it is almost unnoticeable. The same can be said of Barbara De Pirro’s “Spanish Moss,” an entanglement of shredded plastic made from old milk jugs. Here the description of the artwork is more interesting than the artwork itself. Glass artist Benjamin Cobb, who has done much with the Museum of Glass, has created two glass panels with abstract designs that are supposed to be enlargements of glass slides used with microscopes. Mounted in front of a white board and set behind the koi pond, these feel very out of place. Unfortunately Kinoshita’s own contribution to the show, an installation called “Forward Motion,” also has an awkward relationship to the space. There is a car tire, a mirrored pedestal, spray-painted boxes and a baby rubber plant. Kinoshita is making an observation on the key role of the rubber plant in the industrial revolution, colonialism and climate change. It is an interesting topic, but Kinoshita’s hodge-podge assemblage is too loosey-goosey to make the point without the aid of the note card. Otherwise it is too perplexing and even off-putting. (Sorry, Lisa.) “Ethnobotany” runs through Oct. 12. For further information visit mossandmineral.com/art-hot-humid-the-conservatory.

Museum of Glass and Hilltop Artists present Hilltop Artists 20th anniversary, an exhibition highlighting the impact of glass art on the lives of youth, the Hilltop neighborhood, and beyond. The exhibition will consist of glass objects, images, and videos, telling a story that spans the past 20 years of Hilltop Artists and the community it serves. Founded with the support of artist Dale Chihuly and the leadership of the Tacoma School District, gallery owner Kathy Kaperick envisioned Hilltop Artists as a place where young people from the Hilltop neighborhood could learn from established artists as a creative and constructive outlet.

Lightness of Being, New Sculpture by Howard Ben Tré Sept. 13 – Jan. 4

Internationally recognized artist Howard Ben Tré will debut his exhibition of industrial, architecturally oriented sculptures. Creating a forest of vertical shapes, Ben Tré returns to his sculptural roots with cast glass and bronze artworks up to eight feet tall. Ben Tré first made his mark in Tacoma in 2002 with his public sculpture commission, “Water Forest.” A pioneer in the use of cast glass as a sculptural medium, Ben Tré’s work has been displayed in 39 solo exhibitions across the United States and abroad and is included in over 80 museum and public collections worldwide. Ben Tré’s debut exhibition at Museum of Glass will remind visitors accustomed to watching glassblowing of the equally technical method of casting glass, as explored through architectural abstraction alongside an investigation of the human form.

Jennifer Nettles goes pop at fair "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Chart-topping country act Sugarland has been on hiatus for a few years, but the duo hasn’t exactly left local fans hanging this summer. Its less vocal half, Kristian Bush, dropped by Joint Base Lewis-McChord on the Fourth of July to preview material from his forthcoming solo project; and, on Monday, Sept. 8, it was his sassy band mate Jennifer Nettles’ turn as she headlined the Washington State Fair grandstand with songs from her own solo disc, “That Girl.� That album – produced by pop hitmaker Rick Rubin – topped the Billboard Country Album chart back in January, with Nettles channeling her various country, gospel, R&B and ‘70s soft-rock influences into a more expansive pop sound. More than 4,000 fans showed up to catch one of pop’s most likeable divas perform her new repertoire in Puyallup. The singer and her four-piece band got things started with the new album’s title

track and, from the start, the power and versatility of Nettles’ expressive vibrato were on full display. She could pour on a little extra twang, as she did for “Baby Girl,� the first Sugarland hit to show up on the set list. But she also hinted at her potential as a full-blown gospel or soul singer, her voice soaring on numbers like “Me Without You� and “This One’s for You.� Nettles really let loose sitting at a piano and breaking into vocal histrionics toward the end of Ambrosia’s groovy 1980 classic, “Biggest Part of Me.� “I was this close to taking it to Mariah Carey level, but I kept it down here,� she joked. That last one was among a few inventive covers Nettles added to her set, which also included a stripped down version of Imagine Dragons’ “Demons,� a snippet of Iggy Azalea’s omnipresent “Fancy� (snuck into Sugarland hit “Something More�) and Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band’s “Like a Rock,� her final selection of the evening. But fans responded loudest every time she and her band launched into one of the Sugarland hits,

also “All I Want to Do� and the duo’s lilting ballad, “Stay.� If there was a knock on Nettles’ performance, it was that she stayed in midtempo mode almost the entire time. The ballads were a nice change of pace, especially her heartfelt delivery of “Thank You,� a love letter to her fans. But she hadn’t really “rocked� much by the time her band turned it up a few notches in the 11th hour with her funny riff on online gossip, “Know You Wanna Know.� It was a homecoming show for opener Brandy Clark, who joined Nettles onstage for their duet “His Hands� and opened with stripped down, acoustic versions of material from her debut album, “12 Stories.� “I grew up not far from here,� the Morton native announced after kicking things off with her band girls’ anthem, “Crazy Women.� The singer-songwriter was accompanied by one other guitarist, and the simple arrangements helped emphasize the clever songwriting that’s made her a hot commodity in Nashville. Among her

30-minute set’s highlights were “Mama’s Broken Heart,� a hit she co-wrote for Miranda Lambert, “Stripes� and “Get High,� which she said she wrote with a particular Morgan High School classmate in mind. “I wrote that long before pot was legal anywhere,� she added. “It doesn’t have the same punch it used to have.� Clark is on a roll, and don’t be surprised if you see her headlining the grandstand with a full band behind her next year. Set list: “That Girl,� “Moneyball,� “Baby Girl� (Sugarland), “Me Without You,� “Falling,� “Biggest Part of Me� (Ambrosia), “This One’s For You,� “Jealousy,� “This Angel,� “All I Want to Do� (Sugarland), “Good Time to Cry,� “Demons� (Imagine Dragons), “Something More� (Sugarland, with elements of Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy�), “His Hands� (with opener Brandy Clark), “Stay� (Sugarland), “Know You Wanna Know,� “Thank You,� “Like a Rock� (Bob Seger remake)

POWER OF ONE. Forest Beutel’s new album, “If You Label Me, You

If you’ve checked out more than a couple of bluegrass shows in Tacoma, chances are you’ll recognize Forest Beutel, who plays banjo for Barleywine Revue and the Rusty Cleavers, two of the area’s most popular bands in the genre. But, on Sept. 19, fans will get to see another side of Beutel who will unleash his new solo album, “If You Label Me, You Negate Me,� with an all-ages show at 8 p.m. on Sept. 19 at B Sharp Coffehouse. The venue is located at 706 Opera Alley and the $5 cover charge includes a copy of the album. In anticipation, we caught up to talk about his new record, his punk rock roots and to make a goofy suggestion based on his distinctive look. Tacoma Weekly: I don’t know if anyone has told you, but you bear a striking resemblance to James Hetfield. Have you ever thought about starting a Metallica tribute band? Beutel: I never have thought of doing that, but I have been likened to James Hetfield several times. I much prefer James Hetfield to Dog the Bounty Hunter. TW: Do people say that, too? Maybe Dog gives you more street cred. Beutel: Well, these days. But maybe back in the ‘80s James Hetfield would have given me more cred.

so ‌ TW: But seriously, how did you get involved in the local music scene? Beutel: I moved out here when I was 23. I spent my first 23 years in Rhode Island, and I played in a couple of punk bands on the East Coast. We did a lot of touring and put out a few records with those bands. After doing that for five or six years, I just needed a change; and, for whatever reason, the Pacific Northwest was calling my name. TW: So you picked up and headed west, like people have been doing for a couple of centuries. Beutel: Yeah, looking for that proverbial gold. TW: But how did you wind up joining two popular bluegrass bands from around here? Beutel: When I moved out here, I had my Toyota Camry and my drums didn’t fit. My grandpa gave me his banjo before he passed away, so I just took that with me. I had it and I was just kind of plunkin’ around on it. Then my friend, Kevin (Shintaku), who started Barleywine Revue (asked) “Hey, I’m starting this bluegrass band.â€? I was like, “I can’t play the thing, but I’ll join.â€? Then we started playing around, playing college parties and little bar gigs here and there. TW: But now you’ve got solo material. Bring me up to speed. Beutel: I’ve been working on this album how for almost a year, just record-

ing and mixing and then working with my graphic designer to get everything together. I’m playing the banjo with my hands and I have the bass drum and hi-hat going with each of my feet. I play the harmonica, too, and I sing, so there’s a lot going on. I try to keep it as interesting as possible for the listeners. It’s a mix of high-energy tunes and then some more down-tempo blues kind of stuff. TW: Compare and contrast what you’re doing with your solo stuff versus the “drunk-grass� stuff you do with Barleywine and Rusty Cleavers. Beutel: My solo stuff is not very bluegrassy at all. It’s kind of hard to put a label on it. That’s part of where the name of the album comes from. I guess you call it Americana-blues? A lot of it is not as high energy as the Rusty Cleavers or Barleywine. A lot of it’s kind of more centered around the lyrics. I guess you could call it more introspective, definitely. TW: Where did you make the new CD, and who did you work with? Beutel: The sound engineer I worked with is named Ryan Rood, and we recorded at Elk and Boar Studios (run by local band Elk and Boar.) TW: I was going to ask if your other bands were on hold for a while, but I see they have another gig coming up next week at Doyle’s. Beutel: Cleavers are at Doyle’s on the 17th (at 9:30 p.m.). Barleywine is taking the month of September off just ‘cause we toured down to California in August, and we worked pretty hard this summer. But Cleavers are still pretty busy. The summer was crazy busy, so September doesn’t feel so busy, and I think October slows down quite a bit, too.

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) This week’s aspiration for you is to make your long-term plans and work hard to see them through. Make lists and schedules to keep on track. Focus on your end result and envision yourself already there, creating reality. But try to limit the daydreaming.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Juicy gossip fills your inner circle. Don’t take everything you hear at face value. Only speak about things you don’t mind others repeating. Idle talk can be twisted and used to benefit others. Someone close may want to see you knocked down a peg or two.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) You may experience vivid and intense dreams this week, which could inspire you. Energy levels are high so take advantage and get going on that project. Work hard but not so hard that you neglect yourself. Sleep well, exercise moderately and eat the right diet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Have you been thinking about an old friend or lover? This person may pay you a visit or send you a message online. Reunite, rekindle and then move forward. Your telepathic senses are very high right now. Trust your feelings and let them guide you on your life’s journey.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) People around you may be acting a bit mischievously, possibly keeping you out of the loop. Is it deception or a favorable surprise? You’ll find out soon, and either way you come out looking like the better person. Smile a lot and listen while in conversation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Sudden and unexpected changes will come up this week for you, especially at work. They may make you feel anxious, confused and disoriented. No worries, you will get all you deserve for all your hard work. Your skills and ingenuity are noticed by everyone around you.

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) Emotions run high this week both at home and at work. Don’t overreact to loved ones’ or coworkers’ demands. Sometimes we need to vent out our frustrations, which may seem harsher than reality. Many unspoken mysteries will soon come to light.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Let loose and have some fun this week. Get outside – go hiking, fishing, golfing, camping, etc. – doing what you really enjoy while the weather is still nice. You may find that your telepathic skills are dead on. You know who calls before the phone rings, and dreams may give you further insight.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) Your sensual and romantic side will shine this week. Strangers may take second glances, coworkers will compliment you and friends may rally around you. Show your style and wear it with pride. Give aid to someone who may genuinely need your help or advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Guard yourself from others who may be physically or emotionally “sick.” Take vitamin C, drink herbal teas, eat healthy and get plenty of rest. Avoid toxic people that may waste your time or use your ideas. You have better things to do! Focus on your plan and try to stay grounded.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Memories of past love ones may occupy your thoughts this week. Maybe it’s time to let them go. Free yourself so someone new can come into your life. As you settle, move forward with your plans. Be choosey about your next move. Don’t rush it!

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) You may see another side of someone, completely changing your perspective. This could be a favorable thing or you could uncover something you didn’t want to know. All truths come out in time no matter how deeply they are hidden. Ultimately, isn’t it better to know the truth?
