The parade lineup included junior and senior high school marching bands, Joint Base LewisMcChord color guards, equestrian drill teams and draft horse hitches. Fred Oldfield, a renowned master artist specializing in the American West, was the grand marshal.

here is just one week left go until the 2012 South Sound AIDS Walk takes over Cheney Stadium. On Sept. 22, more than 1,000 people are expected to pack this new Walk venue to help raise money so that Pierce County AIDS Foundation (PCAF) can continue to meet our area’s growing needs for comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care and advocacy services. For the first time this year, the Walk will benefit PCAF clients not just in Pierce County, but in Thurston and Lewis counties as well. Thus, attendance records could very well be broken, as this year’s event will attract walkers from a wider area than ever before. Those who wish to participate in the Walk but have not registered yet can do so at www.piercecountyaids. org. Registrations will also be taken the day of the Walk starting at 9 a.m. when all walkers will check-in, turn in donations and pick up their official South Sound AIDS Walk T-shirt. A breakfast fare of light items such as bagels/pastries, coffee and juice will be available for all walkers to fuel up at the Metropolitan Market food tent. There will be music as well to help get the blood pumping with alt/pop/rock band Roman Holiday. Opening ceremonies will begin at 10 a.m. on the main stage. Amanda Westbrooke, longtime co-host of TV Tacoma’s “City Line,” will return this year as master of ceremonies. After a few words from PCAF Executive Director Duane Wilkerson and others, a moment of silence will be held to remember loved ones who have succumbed to the disease. Before heading out, walkers are invited to pick up a memorial red ribbon and write on it a message of hope, or a name, in honor of those affected by HIV/AIDS and to carry it during the Walk. Walkers are also encouraged to stop by PCAF’s community art engagement project “Reflections” behind the main stage. There walkers can choose a round bicycle-type reflector, avail-

The city of Tacoma began cracking down on medical marijuana dispensaries last week, sending letters to three of them that have had their business licenses revoked. Emerald Pharms, T-Town Alternative Medicine and The Vape Bar, all located in South Tacoma, received cease and desist orders. They have until Sept. 17 to halt sales. The city considers these three businesses to be in sensitive areas, meaning they are too close to schools, churches or parks. One is across the street from a community center. Danielle Larson, manager of the city’s Tax and License Division, said T-Town Alternative Medicine and Emerald Pharms have exhausted their appeal rights. Both applied for licenses in 2011. They were denied and appealed. Larson said their appeals processes ended in January, when the city’s hearings examiner ruled in favor of the city. Larson said The Vape Bar could utilize the appeals process if the owner chooses. When that establishment applied for a license, the paperwork indicated the business activity would be “electronic cigarettes and accessories; tobacco,” according to the letter the city sent out. However, code enforcement officers for the city have viewed marijuana plants inside and on the roof of the building and smelled a strong marijuana odor. According to the letter, an Internet advertisement for The Vape Room offers “medical patients a free joint” and states that “vaping is permitted.” Larson said what was stated on the application is a legal business but “they were denied because they were not truthful in the activity they were conducting.” Larson said the city is aware of 25 other establishments that could receive such letters. Tacoma City Council recently took action that would allow for collective gardens of marijuana intended for medical use, under certain conditions. Retail outlets selling the substance would not be allowed. Larson noted that the new city policy classifies the dispensaries as a nuisance, and they are not allowed inside the city limits. Collective gardens would be allowed if they are not in a sensitive area and do not generate complaints from nearby residents or business owners.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

South 31st and Adams Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative,� and in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of road riddled with holiness, and is continuing those efforts well in to 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.

 â€¨â€Š SsTtEeAaMmEeRr What is old is new again in the world of automotives. It might seem hard to believe that “alternativeâ€? fuel vehicles have been in the works for more than 100 years as car makers find ways to bring motorized travel to the masses. In the early days, steam-powered cars were even more popular than gasdriven models. Such is the case with the 1919 Stanley Steamer, the product of Francis and Freelan Stanley, twin brothers with an eye on the future. During the twilight years of the 1800s, they designed and sold about 200 of their prototypes, more than any other American car maker. They then formed the Stanley Motor Carriage Co. in Newton, Mass. and began producing steampowered cars that used boiling water to drive the engine. It was the perfect commuter car for its day. It could zip around at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour but only had a range of 50 miles because of its need to take on water to generate steam. The engine also took up to 15 minutes to get hot enough to produce enough steam to make the engine turn over. It has gone down in history as the “The Flying Teapot.â€?

The car was attractive for several reasons. Anything that could burn could be used as fuel – wood, coal, kerosene, natural gas, whale oil or petroleum. The engine was simple, with only about 25 moving parts, but also provided instant power once the boiler was heated up. Steam was also reliable, since it was also used in locomotives of the time. The model at LeMay: America’s

Car Museum is a Model 735, one of only 1,700 made. The car came in six body styles; a seven-passenger Touring, a five-passenger Touring, a fourpassenger Coupe, a seven-passenger Sedan, a two-passenger Roadster and four-passenger Brougham. While innovative, gas-powered vehicles proved to be the way of the future and the company closed in 1924.

Shifting nearly $5 million from several funds to the city’s general fund, along with other tactics, could solve Tacoma’s budget deficit for 2012. City Manager T.C. Broadnax presented the plan to Tacoma City Council during its Sept. 11 study session. The city has an $11.8 million budget gap for 2012 it must fill by the end of the year. Eliminating a vacancy in the Municipal Court will save $63,158. Reductions in funding for external agencies will save $749,500. Of this, nearly $700,000 is from money the Human Rights and Human Services Department would have allocated to social service agencies. Another $36,300 is from money the Community and Economic Development Department would have allocated, with another $13,600 cut from arts funding. Councilmember Marty

Campbell noted an earlier round of budget cuts reduced arts funding by $219,000. Federal grants the city received earlier this year for the Police Department and Fire Department account for an additional $2.48 million in 2012. Actions initiated by the council account for an additional $1.56 million. This comes from a tax on nonprofit health care providers, liquor revenue and a new sales tax to fund mental health and substance abuse services. An additional $1.64 million comes from unanticipated revenue. Broadnax said this is one-time funding and more funds from these sources should not be expected in planning for the 2013/14 budget. There are several city funds that have received some money from the general fund that have unspent money. Broadnax proposes transferring some of this money back to the general fund. These funds are

information technology/radio, health care and flex, third-party liability, life insurance and information technology/communications systems. Combined these would send $4.96 million back to the general fund for 2012. “We would be recommending, at this point, to utilize these dollars,� Broadnax remarked. A resolution adopting this strategy and directing the appropriate fund transfers will be presented to the council during its Sept. 18 meeting. Broadnax plans to go before the council’s Government Performance and Finance Committee on Nov. 21 for a discussion on reserve fund policies. In December, the council is expected to approve a budget for the 2013/14 biennium. Mayor Marilyn Strickland said she is impressed with how the city manager and staff came up with this solution for the budget shortfall. “This is a way to wrap up how we will handle 2011/12.�

through downtown Tacoma and a campus-wide community reception and fair at UW-Tacoma’s 2012 Convocation on Sept. 28 from 1:45-4:30 p.m. The event to formally welcome new students to campus will begin with a six-way processional of students, families, faculty, staff and alumni, accompanied by musicians, following six different routes through downtown to the center of campus. The parade will be followed by a brief welcome from Chancellor Debra Friedman and Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland and a campus fair featuring Tacoma businesses and nonprofit organizations. This is UW-Tacoma’s first convocation since 1999, and the first one ever of this type. University leaders hope it will establish a new tradition for the young campus. “Our convocation reflects UWT’s mission to work in concert with our community in all things, including welcoming our new students,� Friedman said. “By symbolically starting their journey to campus from six of our closest partners, students will begin to understand that the whole community is committed to helping them achieve their educational dreams. And, frankly, it’s a lot more fun than a bunch of talking heads in an auditorium!� The event is open to the public, and community members are welcome to join the processional along any of the six routes. Everyone who participates is encouraged to wear purple and gold to celebrate UW-Tacoma’s Husky spirit. Each of the six parade groups will be accompanied by musicians, including Native American drums, a middle-school drum line, a kazoo band and more. Students who wish to participate in Convocation must register online at tacoma.uw.edu/convocation before Sept. 21. The processionals will depart starting at 1:45 p.m. from the Al Davies branch of Boys & Girls Club, the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts, KeyBank, Tacoma Art Museum, the Museum of Glass and Native Quest. A map of the processional routes and addresses for each location is available at tacoma.uw.edu/convocation. Welcoming remarks will begin at 2:25 p.m. on the staircase in the center of campus. The community fair begins at 3 p.m. Downtown Tacoma museums, retailers, eateries and more will have tables at the fair, with food and products available to sample or buy.

Children’s Museum of Tacoma will host the 10th annual Power of Play Lunch on Sept. 17 at noon at the Hotel Murano. Honorary chairs for the lunch this year are U.S. Representative Norm Dicks and wife Suzie. Dr. Bette Hyde will be the keynote speaker. Hyde was appointed director of the Department of Early Learning by Governor Chris Gregoire on Feb. 10, 2009. The museum will also present the Pierce County Great Friend to Kids Award, which honors individuals and organizations in our community who have made outstanding contributions to enriching the lives of children and supporting the power of play. This year the award will be presented to HopeSparks. The Power of Play Lunch raises awareness of early learning issues as it simultaneously raises critical operating dollars for the museum and its access programs like Play to Learn. This is a free outreach program designed to support and educate parents, families, friends and neighbor caregivers who nurture children birth through age six. This 90-minute, adult/child drop–in program takes place weekly at eight Pierce County locations. In addition to Play to Learn, funds raised at the lunch support the museum’s newly instituted initiatives supporting teen parents, children with special needs, as well as military and tribal families in the Puget Sound region. Tickets to the lunch are available for purchase at www. PlayTacoma.org/special-events. Tickets are $50 per person or $500 for tables of 10. Register online, by calling (253) 627-6031, extension 236, or e-mail to reservations@playtacoma.org.

The City of Tacoma’s efforts to shore up the housing market in the city’s neighborhoods with the highest foreclosure rates got a boost recently. News came that the local housing effort will receive $3.86 million for a set of programs that will provide qualified buyers with financial support to make down payments on foreclosed homes that have been largely abandoned in Hilltop, East Side and South Tacoma neighborhoods. Some of the money will also go to a local partnership that includes Homeownership Center of Tacoma, Habitat for Humanity and the Tacoma Housing Authority to help those groups buy, renovate and then resell foreclosed houses rather than let them go vacant and neglected. “The idea is to prevent blight by getting new homeowners into those homes,� said Tacoma’s Housing Division Manager Richard Teasley. “We won’t be just improving one house. We will be improving a neighborhood.� The concept behind the Tacoma effort is to get new homeowners into vacant homes as soon as possible, since new homeowners often become models for the neighborhood by taking great care with their new purchase. That pride in home ownership then spreads through the neighborhood since no one wants to live in the most ugly house on the block, so the theory goes. The money comes from the state’s $43.8 million portion of a national $235 billion settlement with the country’s five largest mortgage servicers that was announced earlier this year. About a dozen groups around the state shared the $43.8 million in a formula that was meant to provide funding to all areas of Washington, particularly financially troubled neighborhoods. The settlement also included $18 million bound for organizations that provide direct mortgage relief to consumers through counseling, legal assistance and mediation services. That effort is expected to serve some 30,000 low-income people who are expected to face foreclosure or the more than 135,000 households whose homes were already foreclosed upon in the last four years. Tacoma will model this new effort after the multi-faceted approach it took in 2009 when it established the Neighborhood Stabilization Program with $3.5 million that has now been spent on services and assistance. The recent infusion of money will be formally accepted by Tacoma City Council on Sept. 25, with details of how the program will work due out in the late fall.

TCC holds groundbreaking for Harned Center “Like Joe, TCC has a deep commitment to success.â€? Âś ;** 7YLZPKLU[ +Y 7HTLSH ;YHUZ\L

H.C. “Joe� Harned had a special birthday on Sept. 6 when he participated in a groundbreaking ceremony that afternoon for the Harned Center for Health Careers at Tacoma Community College. Current buildings on campus used for training health care workers have outlived their design life. Many are cramped and out of date. Lack of space and inadequate equipment causes TCC to turn away some students. This future building, which will cost $39 million, will solve that dilemma by allowing students to learn in a large, modern facility. The building will face out onto South Mildred Street. Work has begun to the east and west of the building site, where crews are digging 150 geothermal wells. When the building opens, water will be pumped into the wells, which will be about 220 feet deep. The water will circulate through the building, cooling it during warm weather and heating it during the winter. “This really is a day to celebrate the future and those who made this state-ofthe-art building possible,� TCC President Dr. Pamela Transue said. Noting Harned’s 95th birthday, and his presence at the groundbreaking, she observed: “philanthropy must be good for the health.� Transue noted that the building will prepare students for good jobs in health

care fields with much demand for future employees. The public will benefit from the health care they will provide. “Like Joe, TCC has a deep commitment to success.� Liz Dunbar, vice chair of the TCC Board of Trustees, noted the project is creating much-needed construction jobs. State Senator Derek Kilmer said having skilled workers is a key factor that businesses take into account when deciding where to locate. “We want our colleges to be top notch to prepare people for the careers of today and tomorrow.� Liz Jacks is a principal in NBBJ Architects, which designed the structure. The firm has worked with college staff for five years in planning the project. Some spaces in the building will allow students to gather, providing for a free exchange of ideas on health care careers. Classrooms will be connected, allowing students in various fields of studies to

learn about a number of health care topics. Gardens on the roof will serve not only an environmental purpose but will also provide space for students and faculty to unwind in a tranquil setting. Harned spent his career renting houses and managing commercial real estate. Joining him at the ceremony was his friend David Sarno, a former member of the TCC Foundation. Sarno told Harned about the difficulty assembling the needed financing for the building. Harned provided the funds for medical simulation equipment. It was the single largest donation in the school’s history. He has provided much money for scholarships for students at TCC and the University of Puget Sound. Construction of the building is expected to begin in late October or early November. It is expected to be completed within 18 to 20 months.

David Bean represents Puyallup Tribe at Democratic National Convention By Kate Burrows kburrows@tacomaweekly.com

For Puyallup Tribal Councilmember David Bean, traveling to Charlotte, N.C. for the 2012 Democratic National Convention was an important opportunity to not only gain insight into the party’s priorities, but also to ensure tribal issues remain at the forefront of the agenda. “My goal was to meet as many Democratic senators and congressmen and women, and talk to them about tribal issues,� he said. “I also wanted to thank them for their support.� The administration of President Barack Obama has supported many issues of great importance to the Tribe, including the Tribal Law and Order Act, which helps to address crime in tribal communities, placing a strong emphasis on decreasing violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women. Obama’s Affordable Care Act also permanently re-authorizes the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act, intended to provide better healthcare for Native Americans. One of Bean’s major goals was to strengthen relationships and to show solidarity between Washington politicians and tribal communities. “It’s especially important for us to show support for U.S. Senator Patty Murray,� he said. “As chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, it is so important for us to

support her. Now, when she is out there fundraising for her senatorial candidates, she can say she has the support of the people from her state – and not only citizens, but also the tribes in Washington.� He also had the chance to reconnect with tribal leaders from around the United States, and discuss their common issues and concerns. “I was impressed by the level of tribal participation at the convention,� Bean said. “We were really able to come together and have a unified voice on these issues.� Unlike past administrations, Obama has upheld many of the promises made to Native Americans – more so than any other president in history, according to Bean. “With this adminPHOTOS COURTESY OF DAVID BEAN istration, we have a legitimate place at REACHING OUT.

Puyallup Tribe supports FISH Food Banks The Puyallup Tribe of Indians has awarded a $50,000 grant to FISH Food Banks of Pierce County to be used for food purchases by the Southeast FISH Food Bank. The award is the largest the food bank has ever received from the Puyallup Tribe. “Any time we make a donation to a food bank, it’s a very positive thing,� said Puyallup Tribal Councilmember Sylvia Miller. “Many of us come from poor families, so it is a good thing to help another person feed a family no matter who they are.� Southeast FISH, located at 1704 E. 85th St., is the largest and busiest of FISH Food Banks’ seven fixed locations, serving about 17,000 people each month. “This incredibly generous donation will go a long way toward serving clients

in our busiest food bank,� FISH Food Banks Executive Director Beth Elliott said. “We deeply appreciate the Puyallup Tribe’s compassion for our neighbors in need.� Founded in the late 1970s and incorporated in 1983, FISH Food Banks of Pierce County is the county’s oldest and largest food bank organization, now serving 40 percent of the county’s food bank clients. In 2011 FISH served more than 446,000 individuals through its seven food bank sites and its mobile food bank. While most of the food that FISH distributes is donated by individuals, schools, churches, businesses, grocery stores and partner organizations like Northwest Harvest and the Emergency Food Network, the organization also makes strategic purchases

of food to ensure that clients receive a nutritionally balanced food supply. Through careful steward-

ship and bulk purchasing, FISH is able to distribute $7 worth of food for every $1 donated.

International Academy of Low Vision Specialists member helps macular degeneration sufferers with reading, driving, TV, & maintaining independence.

By Elena Lombardi, Freelance Writer Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. Ever look through a pair of field glasses or binoculars? Things look bigger and closer, and easier to see. Washington optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Some of my patients consider me the last stop for people who have vision loss�, said Dr. Cusic, a low vision optometrist who limits his practice to visually impaired patients in his offices throughout Washington. Macular Degeneration is the most common eye disease among seniors. The macula is one small part of the entire retina, but it is the most sensitive. When it degenerates , macular degeneration leaves a blind spot right in the center of vision making it impossible to recognize faces, read a book, or pass DMV’s vision test.

We work with whatever is on the persons “wish listâ€?. With interest free payment options this technology is now more affordable than ever. If you want to experience the freedom and independence that custom de- signed low vision telescope glasses can bring, call Dr. Cusic now, for a free telephone consultation.

o local game in recent memory had this kind of buildup and actually lived up to it, until Sept. 7 at Bellarmine’s Memorial Field. New home side bleachers, 80-degree plus weather and talent galore had fans of both schools talking for weeks leading up to the game pitting Bellarmine Prep against Lakes. When it ended, no opinions were changed as the Lancers edged the Lions by a score of 42-38. They will be talking for several more weeks. “Both teams played their hearts out,” said Lakes head coach Dave Miller. “I can’t say enough about both teams’ efforts in a great setting for high school football.” “I was excited to see what we were capable of doing against a great team and we just came up short,” said Bellarmine head coach Tom Larson. The Lions fired the first salvo when quarterback Sefo Liufau drove his team 68 yards in six plays, and the payoff was a 10-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Chandler for a 7-0 Bellarmine lead. Lakes wasted no time getting the equalizer when Caleb Lyons took the ensuing kickoff and brought it back 100 yards to tie it. Late in the first half with Bellarmine leading 21-14, a personal foul penalty on the Lions kept a Lancer drive alive at the Bellarmine 35-yard line. On the final play of the half, quarterback Rhys Gervais found Sammie Long open for a touchdown to make it 21-20. Lakes struck first in the third quarter when they marched 68 yards in 12 plays, with Dominic Milton scoring from a yard out to give Lakes a 28-21 lead. Back came the Lions. Starting at the Lancers’ 30-yard line, Lou Millie found the end zone from 11 yards out to tie it once again. Trailing 35-28 early in the fourth quarter and facing a third-and-goal from the 18, Liufau found Garrett McKay for a score. The extra point tied it at 35. “Sefo Liufau is one great quarterback. He and McKay kept us on our heels the whole second half,” said Miller. There was more to come. Trailing 42-38 with just over a minute left and 66 yards from a win, Bellarmine kept this incredible drama going to the end. Four plays later they sat at the three-yard line with three seconds to play, but with the game hanging in the balance, Liufau just overshot his receiver and the jubilation

began on the Lancers’ sideline. “I had to come back after last week’s sub-par performance and this week I limited my mistakes,” said Gervais. “It was a great win against a great team.” The loss was hard to take for Bellarmine, who gained 471 yards on the night compared to the Lancers’ 381. “This one will hurt for a while, but I’m proud of my team’s effort tonight,” said Larson, who watched Liufau go 27-for38 for 327 yards and three touchdowns. McKay led the Lions with 18 receptions for 227 of those yards and two scores. “We executed well tonight but just came up a little bit short,” said McKay,

For 30 minutes, neither Stadium nor Wilson could break through against each other in their early-season soccer clash, despite each getting good looks at goal. Then, the Tigers took control with three goals in just over 20 minutes of play, as senior Emily Wood struck twice to help Stadium gain an eventual 4-1 win over the Rams at Stadium Bowl on Sept. 11. “I was very happy with the attitude for sure,” said Stadium head coach Lyndon Harrhy. “I thought the girls worked hard in all departments. We defended well, we worked as a team well when we didn’t have the ball and when we did.” Wilson appeared to take an early lead in the 19th minute when Perry Henricksen drove in a well-struck chip forward by Kailey Norling, but Henricksen was ruled offside. The Tigers finally notched the first score when senior defender Bailey Edwards made a run downfield and drew a handball in the box in the 29th minute, and sophomore Joyce Jensen slotted the penalty kick in the right netting. “She’s just a good decision maker,” said Harrhy of Edwards. “She knows when to stay, she knows when to go. If she sees that gap she’ll run for that gap.” The Tigers struck again early in the second half, as Wood ran down a through ball in the 46th minute, dribbled around keeper Danielle Rhea and slotted a ball into an open net. She gave Stadium a commanding 3-0 lead five minutes later, heading a cross by Jensen into the left netting. “I don’t know, for some reason I just felt on tonight,” Wood said. “It was exciting.” The Rams answered with their only goal four minutes later, as forward Brittainy Canonica drove a brilliant shot over keeper Jordan Sallee from 40 yards out. But Stadium stole back momentum and sealed the game in the 59th minute, as Kristi Williams sent in a cross that bounced around to the foot of Emma Lynch, who drove it in to make it 4-1. The loss puts the Rams at 0-1, while Stadium got a boost of confidence as they sit at 1-0-1 heading into league play. “We really work together as a team, we’re really good at communicating,” Wood said. “We just gel, we’re really close. It’s different from previous years.”

Cal Lutheran took a 14-0 lead on a 36-yard interception return by Vincent Minor late in the first quarter, but the Lutes came storming back. Brandon James scored on a four-yard run, and sophomore quarterback Dalton Richey later added a one-yard plunge to tie it. Nick Kaylor later gave the Lutes a 17-14 lead with a 25-yard field goal, but the Kingsmen tied it with a field goal on the last play of the first half. But Cal Lutheran rattled off three straight scores in the second half, as quarterback Kevin Ramay started with a 15-yard touchdown run and added two touchdown passes to give the Kingsmen a commanding 37-17 lead. Cody Pohren scored on a two-yard run in the fourth for the Lutes to provide the final margin. Richey, making his first collegiate start, finished 22-for-43 for 337 yards and two interceptions, and Kyle Warner had six catches for 152 yards while Kellen Westering added seven catches for 111 yards.

Not accustomed to playing key league matches this early in the season, the Bellarmine Prep volleyball team used its height and experience to get past Gig Harbor 25-15, 25-17, 25-22 in its league opener at home on Sept. 6. “This is pretty new for us,� said Bellarmine head coach Jody DeGroot. “We’ve always started our (league) season at the end of September. So both teams have only had a few weeks to put our team together.� The Lions charged out of the gate, forcing the Tides into errors and getting a block from senior captain Katherine Joyce on the way to an 8-0 lead. Junior Lindsay Schelbert later made it 15-5 with a nice kill, but Gig Harbor charged back to make it 17-13 thanks to kills by Courtney Jost and Summer Adams. Bellarmine sophomore Claire Martin responded with two key blocks and combined with junior Emily Newberry to give the Lions some big plays

up front, along with some imposing height. “They bring a different kind of energy to our team,� DeGroot said. “Everyone says you can’t coach height. When you have this tall girl and they’re able to make some of those plays that some of the other ones can’t really do, they all kind of own it. It just brings that momentum and energy that you need sometimes.� Reigning Narrows 4A MVP Courtney Schwan took over early in the second set, getting three early kills and a block, and Joyce later helped give the Lions a 15-9 lead with her third kill in the previous seven points. Schwan later added two straight aces in the set to make it 19-13, and the Lions maintained a five-point cushion the rest of the way. “I think what really helped us is we have a lot of energy and we have a good team bond,� said senior setter and co-captain Katy DeGroot, who finished with 29 assists. “We were able to trust each other and connect with each other.� The Tides stayed with the Lions all the way through the

third set, taking a 14-11 lead even with Joyce, Schwan and Newberry consistently coming up with big plays up front. Jost gave the Tides a 21-20 lead with an ace, but Schwan – who finished with a team-high 16 kills along with 16 digs – responded with a kill and an ace of her own, and Joyce followed four points later with a kill to finish off the match. “Even if we had the height and didn’t get along it wouldn’t work out, but the fact that we work so well together is what makes it so special,� said Joyce, who finished with 12 kills. The Lions were also buoyed by the play of seniors Kelsie May and Rachel Gill, along with sophomore outside hitter Reghan Pukis and junior defensive specialist Julia Wright. Having claimed a big non-league win against SPSL South contender Puyallup on Sept. 5, the Lions are showing great potential early but know there is still room to improve. “We have plenty to work on, but we’re starting in a good place,� Jody DeGroot said. “I hope we build on it from here.

Christian Eagles on Sept. 8 at Curtis Viking Stadium in University Place. “We certainly bounced back from the loss last week, and we had a real good week of practice leading up to this game,� said Smith. “We clicked really well on offense, and what can you say about the efforts from Hughey and Martindale.� Tacoma Baptist wasted little time in getting on the board when Ben Cooksley blocked a Life Christian punt and recovered it in the end zone for a 6-0 lead. It would be a lead that they would never relinquish. “We just could not establish any kind of offensive rhythm all night and we made some mistakes that young teams make,� said Eagles head coach Ross Hjelseth. Trailing 22-7 late in the first half, Life Christian came up with a fumble recovery at the Crusaders’ 14-yard line but could not capitalize, and the Crusaders took that lead into the locker room at the half. “We missed a big opportunity and the momentum we had was lost, and it hurt us in the second half,� said Hjelseth. The Crusaders came out of the locker room on fire as Martindale scored on a seven-yard run. On their next possession Hughey would take it in from a yard out, with Martindale taking it in for the two-point conversion to extend the lead to 36-7. “We came out and played much better overall, especially on defense in the second half,� said Smith. “The offense did a good job of maintaining their offensive rhythm for the remainder of the game, too.� There was no quit on the Eagles’ part, as they would trim the Crusader lead to 36-21 with a latethird and an early-fourth quarter score, but Baptist would close it out late to win going away. “Overall I was pleased,� said Smith of his team’s performance. “We have to keep playing at this high of a level to stay in the playoff race and we’ll have a shot at the postseason.� “We’ll learn from this experience,� said Hjelseth, who added these young kids will “grow and learn from this and build each and every week from here out. We will get better.�

Broadway Center’s second annual event brings more than 50 free performances to Tacoma By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

T

he name “Fall Free for All” is a well-worded moniker for Broadway Center’s annual entertainment event – it happens at the time of year when fall is upon us, it is all free, and all ages are included. For two days – Sept. 22 and 23 – Tacoma’s historic Theater District will be bustling with more than 50 free performances slated this year, including those suitable for children and those that are for adults only. For no admission charge the public is invited to come out and enjoy the theaters, support regional artists, dine out and shop in the vibrant Theater District. “Fall Free for All” features events across multiple arts disciplines, with headlining performances by Vicci Martinez (local superstar singer/songwriter), My Brightest Diamond (brilliantly crafted music artfully sung/spoken by Shara Worden), Kelli Schaefer (truly transcendent rock performer) and The Can Can Castaways (a unique blend of contemporary cabaret intertwined with sensual athleticism). In total, “Fall Free for All” offers more than 18 hours of music, dance, comedy, film, theater, culinary arts, fashion and children’s activities, with artists from the South Sound and beyond. Broadway Center Program Manager Aaron Stevens said the intent behind “Fall Free for All” is to showcase Broadway

Events continue into the afternoon with a flea circus, a “shop ‘til you drop” artists market, a traditional tea ceremony presented by Asia Pacific Cultural Center, rocking elemen-

tary school teacher band Recess Monkey and The Reptile Man with his slithering, sliding and crawling green friends in a high energy, educational show and petting zoo. From 5-7 p.m. a dinner break in the festivities will allow for the opportunity to explore participating downtown Tacoma restaurants including The Office Bar & Grill, Maxwell’s Restaurant + Lounge, Corina Bakery, The Matador, El Gaucho, Two Koi and The Old Spaghetti Factory.

‘Sylvia’ is a tasty treat for dog lovers Enjoy freedom of choice at Flying Fish Sushi Bar & Grill

PHOTO BY DEAN LAPIN

BONDED. Greg, played by Micheal O’Hara, finds

himself the owner of a stray dog, Sylvia, played by Angelica Duncan, and humor and humanity ensues.

(This week, Tacoma Weekly’s intrepid theater reviewer Steve Dunkelberger was so taken by the new Tacoma Little Theatre production of “Sylvia” that he wrote a letter to his dog Sidda about it. Read on, and you’ll find out why…) Hey Sidda, Sorry to wake you from your afternoon nap on the couch, but I wanted to let you know about this play I saw last weekend about the bond between a man and his dog. It really captured the bond we have as man and Canine American. Since you cannot read and it is hard for you to turn the pages of the newspaper since you do not have thumbs, I will read this to you later, but I might as well let others know about the play. Tacoma Little Theatre is staging “Sylvia” by A. R. Gurney through Sept. 30. It is directed by Elliot Weiner, but you have never met him. It stars Michael O’Hara as Greg. You might remember him from the Blessing of the Animals ceremony for Saint Francis of Assisi day

at Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church, when you were annoyed by all the other dogs getting attention and then the priest splashing water on your fur. Sorry about that, by the way. We humans can be silly sometimes. Anyway, the play is a romantic comedy of sorts that centers on Greg when he finds a stray dog and immediately feels a bond take hold. Sort of like what we had the moment you jumped into my arms at the Humane Society of Tacoma/ Pierce County and started to fall asleep on my shoulder those so many years ago. And in this case, much like our own story, a woman does not understand the bond between Greg and his new dog, Sylvia, played by Angelica Duncan. Apparently a wife does not like the idea of a man spending time with another woman even if that woman is a Canine American. The role of the frustrated wife, Kate, is played by Dayna Childs. Comedy kicks into high gear when non-dog lovers get a glimpse of the sort of

conversations we have about cats and walks in the park. Toss in the acting heavyweight talents of Blake York taking on three supporting roles and the play is a hoot. You would love it if you could understand what those “upright” humans were talking about. I was holding my “Sidda, Great Canine American” necklace pendant through much of the show. I just wanted to come home and give you a big hug and a long walk through the woods. What makes this show work so well is that, while funny at times, it also has its tender moments as well as its warnings of projecting human traits onto fourfooted friends. Apparently, some folks think that dogs are just dogs. Silly humans. They do not understand the ties that bind us together. Will Kate come to see the error of her ways and accept Sylvia as an equal partner in this modern-day love triangle? You’ll have to see the play to find out. “Sylvia” contains some coarse words and situations, but nothing a pre-teen like your “upright” sister or a 10year-old German shepherd like you could not handle. Anyway, get back to your nap so you are well rested for our “Meerkat Manor” marathon this weekend. Love, Steve

“Sylvia” plays at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through Sept. 20 at Tacoma Little Theatre, 210 N. ‘I’ St. Tickets are $15 to $25. Visit www. TacomaLittleTheatre.com for more information.

New Auburn location offers big selection at reasonable prices By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

Since 2005, Flying Fish Sushi Bar & Grill at 2723 N. Pearl St. in Tacoma has enjoyed much popularity among area sushi lovers as a go-to place to enjoy this delicious dish and a wide variety of Asian fusion delicacies of Korea, China and Japan. Offering a unique environment where families and friends can enjoy different types of Asian cuisines while dining together, Flying Fish not only serves a brisk clientele of returning customers; it consistently makes new fans of diners trying out the place for the first time. In fact, Flying Fish won Best Sushi restaurant in Tacoma Weekly’s 2012 Readers Poll. Now, there’s a new Flying Fish location that opened this past April in Auburn at 3312 Auburn Way S., just up from the Muckleshoot Casino. Featuring a menu bursting with the mouthwatering cuisine of Korea and Japan prepared with care and skill, this new location offers the same high-quality freshness served up in big portions at reasonable prices that have made the Tacoma location such a favorite. “Our specialty is we

have a lot of choice,” says owner Uisup Lee about the new Auburn location, and one look at the menu proves his point. The restaurant offers even more fusion styles than the Tacoma location and at a range of prices to suit any budget. Among the big sellers on the menu is the 5-Roll Special ($49.95) featuring five different types of rolled sushi sliced in big portions and presented beautifully on a heftysized platter. It offers enough food to feed at least three people. The Deluxe 3-Roll Special ($39.95) is another bestseller, and two can easily share this dish and probably take home leftovers. One taste, and you’ll know you’re not at your everyday sushi place – you can actually taste the freshness, and it has a noticeably clean and crisp effect on the palate. For those who want something different than sushi, there are Korean dishes such as beef, pork and chicken bulgoki ($11.95); hot pot soups

and Ramen noodles ($7.95); fried dishes like chicken katsu ($8.95) and fried rice ($7.95$9.95); sashimi quality grilled/baked salmon (a steal at $11.95); and donburi bowls with chicken, beef or pork over rice ($8.95). The food served at Flying Fish not only tastes amazing it looks amazing too thanks to the artistic touch of master sushi chef Alex and kitchen chef Kim. “We try to surprise our customers so that when they see the dish they say, ‘wow,’” according to owner Lee. He said these types of special touches, along with fair prices and high quality, will bring people back to his second Flying Fish restaurant. “We will be the best in Auburn.” Throughout September at Flying Fish in Auburn get 50 percent off any sushi roll (except special rolls and sushi) with their ad in next week’s issue of Tacoma Weekly. For more information, and to inquire about birthday specials, call (253) 329-2144.

Transform a parking space into ‘urban park’ space at Park(ing) Day

PARROT DAZE. “Tropics� is a tempera painting by Bellarmine Prep student Sommer Hallquist.

By John Larson jlarson@tacomaweekly.com

The creativity of students at several Tacoma schools is on display during the Puyallup Fair’s annual Junior/Senior High School Art Show. Catherine Tran of Bellarmine Preparatory School offers the chalk pastel drawing “Hot House.� It depicts the interior of a home, with a window in the middle. Flames are coming up from the floor, thus the title. Tatiana Amundsen of Bellarmine provides a spiritual scene in the tempera painting “Heightened State.� It depicts a woman on her knees praying. She is on a floor with a checkerboard design in yellow, red and orange. Above hang curtains in checkerboard patterns of blue and orange and black, yellow and purple. In her watercolor painting “Tide Flats,� Mary Kate Lester of Bellarmine depicts what Commencement Bay looked like prior to the arrival of industry. There are no shipping terminals or factories in this piece, which has pastel blue as the primary color with purple accents. In the foreground is some brown vegetation. “Tropical Bloom� is an ink drawing by Lauren Nelson of Meeker Middle School. A flower is made of dots of pink, orange and red. The background is white with blue dots. It is framed in a pink border and a blue border. Arianna M. Westmark of Meeker uses a similar technique in her ink drawing “Blue Hawaii.� It depicts a flower of blue and green dots. Vanessa Adams of Meeker did a good job capturing the Jack Nicholson Joker character from the “Batman� movie in her

charcoal drawing “What’s So Funny?� He has beady eyes and a grotesque smile. Anya Evans-Scournski of Bellarmine captured the glass art in the shallow pool outside Museum of Glass in the laser print “Moment of Reflection.� She also has a photograph of the adjacent Chihuly Bridge of Glass titled “Cold Spell.� It is of the two blue plastic objects on the structure. Brandon Porras of Bellarmine examines a serious topic in his photograph “Abuse.� It depicts a young man sitting on the floor, a bottle of booze in front of him. His face is blurred by a bright line running through the middle of the photo, recreating on film the blurred memory of someone in a drinking binge. Phoebe Elizaga of Meeker Middle School went back to the 1960s for the inspiration for her charcoal drawing “Twiggy.� She depicts the famous British model with short hair, heavy mascara and a sweater with a snowflake design. The most cleverly titled piece in the exhibit belongs to Alicia Sessler of Bellarmine. “Truncated� is a tempera painting of a blue elephant’s head. Its trunk is sliced into pieces. “Spawn� by Alexis Harroun of Bellarmine is a watercolor painting of pink and yellow salmon swimming about. “Tropics� by Sommer Hallquist of Bellarmine is a tempera painting of a green parrot amid many wild, brightly colored geometric shapes. “Panda Life� by Dalton Faker of Concordia Lutheran School is a linocut depicting a mother panda with a cub in a bamboo forest. The show runs through the final day of the fair, Sept. 23.

OASIS. BLRB Architects created an insta-lawn on Pacific Avenue for PARK(ing) Day last year. By Lisa Kinoshita Special to Tacoma Weekly

I once had a roommate in Seattle who had outstanding parking tickets amounting to more than $900. He worked a lot, drove a lot (accruing more tickets) and traveled a lot, and could never seem to pay the tickets before the 15-day due date, after which the penalties doubled. I don’t know whether he ended up in debtors’ gaol, or was eventually able to take advantage of the city’s Parking Ticket Amnesty, an occasional grace period during which the Seattle Municipal Court temporarily suspends all interest and collection fees for each ticket in collections that is paid in full to the court. For my friend – and anyone else who has a regrettable (ok, infuriating) relationship with parking meters and PayStations – PARK(ing) Day 2012 was created. On Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,

Tacomans are invited to take part in a world-wide event in which citizens will create idyllic public open space...one parking spot at a time. Since 2005, this annual global act-up has organized citizens, artists and activists to collaborate in temporarily transforming metered parking spaces into “PARK(ing)� spaces: temporary public places. Pretty cool, huh? The mission of PARK(ing) Day is to call attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate debate around how public space is allocated, and to improve the quality of our urban habitat...at least until the meter runs out! You can reserve a space now in downtown Tacoma – contact Meagan Kula at (253) 682-1734 or at dotg@tacomachamber. org (also visit www.downtownonthego.org). There is no cost to participate in transforming an annoying piece of short-lease urban real estate into a creative

call for more public space. Just indicate where you would like to host a space within downtown, and Downtown on the Go will reserve it for you. You are responsible for providing your own props and decorations. Be creative, as you join individuals in 975 parks, 162 cities, six continents and 35 countries in enjoying positive social action...and a few hours of free parking! I may not be on friendly terms with PayStation, but have to admit that Tacoma must have some of the coolest parking enforcement officers on the planet. When I worked on St. Helens Avenue, I walked to my car one day and found a ticket on my windshield. Only it wasn’t filled in – on the back the officer had written that my rear passenger side tire was low and I should get it checked. This happened not once, but twice. Cool dude (a woman, actually), observant and helpful. If only PayStation were so empathetic. Lisa Kinoshita is a Tacoma artist and freelance writer.

HEAVY. Riot in Rhythm (top) and Witchburn (above) will perform with several other bands to help raise money for Northwest Harvest.

Louie Galarza, owner of Louie G’s Pizzeria in Fife, has asked bands from as far away as Spokane to be part of his fundraiser for Northwest Harvest called “DreamFest.” With the help of major sponsors like Seattle rock station KISW’s “Loud and Local Show,” Pyramid Staging and Events and LyonPride Music, plus countless other local businesses, individuals, volunteers and musicians, Galarza will hold his music festival outdoors

with hopes of overflowing the donation boxes. “’DreamFest’ is like a dream come true for me,” he said. “Not only am I able to provide a mega stage for the talented musicians I admire, but I am able to help the community (Northwest Harvest) on a larger scale than I could have only imagined. And I am able to do it because of the help of so many people I love.” Slated for Sept. 15 – rain or shine – the event will start at 3 p.m. with

Johnny’s Dock SUNDAYS

Blue Redemption: 5-8pm

WEDNESDAYS

Magic - Cory Durgin: 5-8pm

10 bands performing. The roster includes: Witchburn, Jason Kertson and The Immortals, The Fail Safe Project and Riot In Rhythm. There will also be a raffle of various music-themed items to raise cash for Northwest Harvest in addition to the food items collected. Northwest Harvest is asking for foods highest in nutritional density, which tend to be the least processed foods. Fresh fruits and vegetable are mostly very good in nutritional density, and monetary contributions help the organization access fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. Within shelf-stable products, select ones with the lowest saturated fats and refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour). Advanced tickets are available via Brown Paper Tickets at: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/268120 or from the bands themselves. Louie G’s Pizzeria is located at 5219 Pacific Highway E. “ARBITRAGE”

“SCAPES” Venetian artists Laura de Santillana and Alessandro Diaz de Santillana have joined forces to create “Scapes,” a dynamic and entirely new body of work at Museum of Glass. The exhibition comprises four rooms based on the Hindu belief that the universe is divided into separate spheres of existence: Earth, Space, Sun, and Moon and Constellations. The de Santillanas have interpreted elements of the Hindu cosmology in glass, creating spaces in which forms and colors correspond to physical phenomena, or the visible universe, and evoke an atmosphere of cosmic vibration. Each installation is composed of a limited, but strikingly vibrant, color palette. The exhibit runs until January. ART –

SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON FOR PIERCE COUNTY In re the Adoption of: Ashley Paul Franiszek Kulik, A minor child No. 12-5-00826-1 SUMMONS AND NOTICE OF HEARING RE: TERMINATION OF PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS TO: ADRIAN FLOYD AND TO: Any and all persons claiming a parental interest in the above-named child A Petition for Step Parent Adoption, which includes a request for termination of the parent-child relationship between you and the child has been filed in the above-entitled court. The Petitioner is asking the court for an order permanently terminating the parent-child relationship between you and the child, permanently terminating all of your rights to the child, and for a Decree of Adoption declaring the Petitioner to be a legal parent of the child. The child was born on September 3, 1996, in Guildford, County of Surrey, England. The name of the child’s mother is Juliana Marie Paice (neÊ Kulik). In order to defend against this Petition, you must respond to the Petition by stating your defense in writing and by serving a copy upon Joyce S. Schwensen (the attorney for the Petitioner) at the address below within thirty days after date this Summons is served upon you, or an order permanently terminating your parent-child relationship with the child by default will be entered. A default order is one where the Petitioner is entitled to what he asks for because you have not responded. If you serve a notice of appearance on Joyce S. Schwensen (the attorney for the Petitioner) at the address below, you are entitled to notice before a default order may be entered. One method of serving a copy of your response on the Petitioner is to send it by certified mail with return receipt requested. If service

is made by mail, the service shall be deemed complete upon the third day following the day upon which the response is placed in the mail, unless the third day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, in which event service shall be deemed complete on the first day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, following the third day. You have a right to be represented by an attorney. If you are indigent and request an attorney, an attorney will be appointed for you. You have a right to file a claim of paternity under chapter 26.26 of the Revised Code of Washington. Your failure to file a claim of paternity under chapter 26.26 of the Revised Code of Washington or to respond to the Petition for Step Parent Adoption which has been filed herein within thirty days of the date this Summons is served upon you is grounds to terminate your parent-child relationship with respect to the child. If the child is an Indian child as defined by the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, 25 U.S.C. 1901 et sec., and if you acknowledge paternity of the child or if your paternity is established prior to the termination of the parent-child relationship, your parental rights may not be terminated unless you give valid consent to termination, or your parent-child relationship is terminated involuntarily pursuant to chapter 26.33 of 13.34 RCW. The court hearing on the termination of your parental rights shall be on Friday, October 19, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. in the Pierce County Juvenile Court, 5501 6th Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98406. YOUR FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THIS HEARING MAY RESULT IN A DEFAULT ORDER PERMANENTLY TERMINATING ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS TO THE ABOVE-NAMED CHILD. Dated this 4th day of September, 2012 at Tacoma, Washington.

He has lived with young children, and would to love an owner or family who can provide him with direction, boost his FRQĂ€GHQFH DQG DSSUHFLDWH KLV DIIHFWLRQDWH personality. His reference number is 466745. Come meet this little cuddler!
