METAL FLOODWALL SET TO PROTECT TREATMENT PLANT By Steve Dunkelberger

did twice in the last 20 years, most recently in 2009. The $9 million wall was funded with $6 million from the Pierce County Flood Control District’s tax of 10 cents per $1,000 in property value and $2.7 million from the City of Tacoma’s utility fees fund. That’s a lot of money for a wall few people will ever see, but a flood without the wall would threaten a $1 billion facility and potentially cause environmental damage.

SIGN HERE. Elected officials from around Pierce County signed a piece of steel piling to mark the construction of a wall to protect the Central Treatment Plant on Tacoma’s Tideflats from flooding when the Puyallup River crests its banks.

A grand ceremony to mark the construction of a steel wall to protect a wastewater treatment plant from flooding isn’t the sexiest governmental ribbon cutting, but it is a needed wall. Tacoma’s Central Treatment Plant will soon be surrounded by a steel wall to protect the wastewater facility from flooding whenever the Puyallup River floods the tideflats as it

“This was a very important project for us,� Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland said, noting that a large flood that shut down the facility could force wastewater from Tacoma, Fife and surrounding areas to flow untreated into Commencement Bay. “It would be devastating for the entire region.� During large storms the plant treats more than 135 million gallons of wastewater a day before discharging the treated X See FLOODWALL / page A8

n Oct. 4, an historic landmark in the city’s history will be celebrated when the Tacoma Youth Marine Center commemorates 90 years of Tacoma Sea Scouts. In addition, Sea Scouts adult volunteer Tom Rogers will be recognized for his 50 years of volunteer leadership,

along with the Youth Marine Center for its 20 years of vision. The celebration will also provide a way to bring back Tacoma Sea Scout alumni, as Youth Marine Foundation Executive Director Malcolm Russell is working to build a database of all former Scouts to keep them informed of what the Sea Scouts are doing throughout the year. “This is our opportunity to reconnect with all those people. We’re celebrating

all the Sea Scouts – from year one to year 90 – so we’re trying to get young and old generations down here,� he said. “Our hope is that by reaching out to at least a portion of former Sea Scouts – not just current but going as far back as we could – that we’d at least touch enough generations that they would call their friends who are also former Scouts. The purpose is not to just celebrate the milestone, but X See SEA SCOUTS / page A6 HERB GODDESS HOROSCOPE

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You may choose to stay behind the scenes during this week’s New Moon. Private thoughts and projects may occupy your time.

At breakfast at the Antique Sandwich Company, an acquaintance at the next table made my week. She told me she liked my hair, and asked where I got it cut. Only a smartass would have replied, “TG oncology.� Instead, I told her it was the first hair I’d had since February, and that I was delighted to hear it looks deliberate. It does, she said, adding that I have a nice head – the kind of head that can get away with showing itself off. A mannerly person, she did not inquire after the elegant scar across the top of said head. Perhaps she feared there was a terrible brain surgery story that went along with it. Nah. I just fell into a rolling yard waste container. That’s the way I used to spend my summers, pulling morning glory and tripping over gardening tools. Not this year. These days, I’m basking in the rays: X-rays. Killer beams. Ultimate zappers. I am well into seven weeks of radiation therapy, and making the spirit of Marie Curie happy. This is the last of the hard laps on what people far more ethereal than I call “the breast cancer journey.� I prefer to call it the uphill cancer slog, in the mud, with sleet and bad shoes. To recap: Mine began with a biopsy, assorted scans, a lumpectomy, half a year of chemotherapy, a kaleidoscope of sparkling side effects and a brilliant cast of caregivers and fellow sloggers. It featured world-class care and – do not under-rate this – free parking in a garage with a charming attendant. If you are going to get this disease, Tacoma, where docs are linked into the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, is the place to do it. Here, we get all the expertise, and none of the traffic of Seattle. If the unpleasantness of cancer eroded your patience three months ago, that is a big deal. These days, I enjoy my husband’s gracious willingness to drive, leaving me free to yell, “Don’t roll it, Bozo,� at sluggardly motorists. I should point out that we now travel with the windows, and the radio, up. In retrospect, we were brilliant to request the first appointment of the day, which means that we are at Tacoma General Hospital’s radiation department every weekday at 8 a.m. This gets us off

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

78th and D Street Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes. Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com. Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

NEW CLUES REINVIGORATE COLD CASE MURDER By David Rose

:DVKLQWRQ¡V 0RVW :DQWHG 4 )R[

D

eep in the ground of the Sumner Cemetery, new clues have been unearthed in a cold case shrouded in mystery since 1989. “How can you solve a homicide DAVID ROSE when you don’t know who your victim is?� said renowned forensic anthropologist Dr. Kathy Taylor. Taylor helped the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office exhume the body of an unidentified murder victim. “We found him on the banks of the Carbon River. He died from what appeared to be an obvious stab wound. We never found out who he was,� said Pierce County Detective Ed

Troyer. That was back in March. They have since created a digital reconstruction showing what he may have looked like in hopes somebody remembers a man who disappeared. The victim’s DNA has also been entered into a national database. “People need to understand if they reported people missing in the 60s, 70s, or 80s to call law enforcement and make sure that that report still exists. So, in order to actually investigate it as a homicide, we have to determine who it is so that’s what we’re in the process of doing now. That’s why we exhumed the body to put these new technologies to work to see if we can help get him identified,� said Troyer. If you have any information on the man’s identity or can help detectives solve the mystery, call Crime Stoppers of Tacoma\Pierce County at 1-800-222-TIPS.

SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE JOHN MCCARTHY TO RETIRE DEC. 1 Pierce County Superior Court Judge John McCarthy has decided to retire this fall, ending a successful 30-year career in public service as an elected official in this community. In a letter to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who will appoint his successor, Judge McCarthy said his retirement will be effective Dec. 1. “It has been an honor to serve the people of Pierce County and Washington State for the past 30 years. I truly appreciate the opportunities I have had to support the administration of justice, which is a bedrock of our society,� McCarthy said. “My family and I appreciated all of the well-wishers during my recent treatment for cancer. I am happy to say that my doctors have given me a clean bill of health and I can call myself a cancer survivor. Now I’m anxious to spend more time with my grandchildren and pursue some other interests.� McCarthy’s term runs through the end of 2016. McCarthy, 65, has served as a judge for over 22 years – five years in Pierce County District Court, and the last 18 years with Superior Court. Before joining the bench, he served

as an elected member of the Port of Tacoma Commission from 1983 to 1992. He is a graduate of Tacoma’s Bellarmine Preparatory School and received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2012. He continues to officiate youth and high school football and basketball and has done so for over 17 years. He also volunteers in Mount Rainier National Park. He is married to Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy. They have four adult children and nine grandchildren.

Man pleads guilty to 1986 cold-case murder On Sept. 12, Christopher Leon Smith, 51, pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree for the 1986 killing of Tacoma-resident Carol Davidson. She was 46 years old at the time of her death. Smith is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 19 at 1:30 p.m. in room 304 of the County-City Building in Tacoma. “Justice has been a long time coming for Carol Davidson’s family,� said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “This is an example of advancing technology leading to accountability.� On Aug. 30, 1986, Tacoma Police found Carol Davidson deceased in her Tacoma apartment. She had sustained blunt force trauma to the head, her hands were bound behind her back, and she was gagged. The medical examiner determined she died from strangulation. Outside, police found some of Davidson’s belongings and a pack of Kool cigarettes. Police collected biological evidence, but the scope of available scientific techniques was limited at the time. Detectives were unable to identify a suspect, and the investigation was suspended. In 2012, Detective Gene Miller of the Tacoma Police Department’s Cold Case Unit reopened the case, reviewed the evidence, and submitted biological samples to the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab. DNA from the samples matched Smith’s DNA, which had been collected after his 2009 convictions for rape and kidnapping. In 1983 and 1984, Smith was a suspect in two separate Tacoma area rapes. One victim said the assailant purchased a pack of Kool cigarettes while they were together. Smith was interviewed during those investigations and told a detective that he had consensual sex with both women, and that he smoked Kool cigarettes.

CHARTER CHANGES LUMBER TOWARD VOTE By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

A dozen changes to the city charter will face voters on the Nov. 4 ballot, but the once-heated topic has fizzled since the main topic of changing the city’s administration was shelved. The City of Tacoma’s charter was first crafted in 1953 and has been revised periodically ever since. The last review, in 2004, established that the city’s governing document would be reviewed every 10 years. A review committee formed and scrubbed through the charter and proposed two dozen changes after public forums, debates and hearings. The committee’s recommendation of shifting the city to an executive officer form of administration that would create a separate mayor’s office as the executive and the city council serving as a legislative role drew the most criticism and ultimately failed to gain enough City Council support to be listed on the ballot. A dozen charter changes, however, survived the process. Many of them are considered administrative changes to align the city charter with state law and current practices, but they still must be formally approved by residents.

HERE IS A BREAKDOWN:

Proposed Charter Amendment 1 would update the charter to conform with state law and to avoid confusion and assist citizens and candidates in understanding and complying with initiative, referendum, and other election processes. Supporters say the change would promote understanding of elections while those opposing the change claim it could lead to the ending of a published elections pamphlet. Proposed Charter Amendment 2 would delete genderspecific language and replace obsolete references, and delete outdated provisions with more inclusive words. This issue was a matter of debate in 1992, when voters approved a symbolic measure for the removal of sexist language, but the changes were never formally enacted. People opposing the change covers more than one topic and would therefore make future changes easier to enact. Proposed Charter Amendment 3 would update the charter to mirror state and federal law in terms of adding anti discrimination references to color, ancestry, gender identity, sexual orientation, familial status, honorably discharged veteran and military status as protected classes. Proposed Charter Amendment 4 would allow the City Council to pass emergency measures that would take effect immediately rather than after the official notice is published in the legal notices. The proposed change came after the moratorium declaration to halt the Walmart development on Union Avenue failed because developers were able to submit their planning documents after an emergency moratorium was declared by before the notice of the moratorium was declared, therefore the construction was grandfathered into the zoning laws under review. Supporters say the change would close a “loophole� between council action and the publishing date of notices, which can be days later, while people opposing the change say the change would allow the council to take sweeping actions against property owners without oversight. Proposed Charter Amendment 5 would require City Council confirmation for appointment of department heads rather than the current approval of the city manager. Supporters say the change boosts accountability and

oversight of city operations, while opponents say the change would politicize city departments by enabling council members to micromanage city functions. Proposed Charter Amendment 6 would require City Council confirmation of the director of Utilities by the Public Utility Board and reconfirmation every two years. The current system has the director answer to the Public Utility Board. Supporters claim that since public utilities are city assets, the council should have direct oversight of the department’s administrator. Opponents say the change would politicize public utility decisions that are often based on long-range forecasts instead of shorter-term politics. Proposed Charter Amendment 7 would specifically add Tacoma’s Landmarks Preservation Commission to the charter because it has legislative authority alongside other city commissions. Opponents say the change is not necessary because the commission could operate under city ordinances that don’t require a formal charter change. Proposed Charter Amendment 8 would change the current term limits of council members and the mayor from 10 consecutive years regardless of position to 10 consecutive years as a council member and two full consecutive terms as mayor. Supporters say the change would allow veteran city council members to run for mayor, while people opposed to the change say loosening the term limits would hamper new candidates from running by creating entrenched incumbents. Proposed Charter Amendment 9 would create an independent commission that would establish compensation and salary packages for elected officials rather than the current City Council approving such matters. Supporters say the change would mirror the system Pierce County already has and keep politics out of salary discussions, while the con camp say that salary decisions would still be approved by the council and that pay decisions require ordinances, therefore should not be part of the charter. Proposed Charter Amendment 10 would lift a prohibition on new cemeteries, mausoleums or crematories within the City of Tacoma. Supporters say removing the cemetery ban would simply clean up the charter since a new cemetery hasn’t been discussed for decades and are already covered by existing zoning laws. Challengers say this amendment is an example of a dysfunctional review system since there is no room for new cemeteries within the city limits anyway. Proposed Charter Amendment 11 would allow city officers and employees to contract for utility services, conservation measures, and other programs that are otherwise also available to the general public. Supporters say the charters efforts to prevent city employees from personally benefiting from city business have had the unintended consequences of forbidding city employees from participating in conservation programs that the public regularly use. There was no opposition statement in the voter’s guide. Proposed Charter Amendment 12 would remove U.S. citizenship and Tacoma residency for all city employment requirements. Supporters say the change is needed because such requirements violate state law and are not enforceable. Challengers say high level city administrators should live within the city they serve.

Public invited to waterfront mural dedication In celebration of Tacoma’s working waterfront, Nick Goettling’s “The Hands that Built Tacoma� will be dedicated during a public Maritime Fest event on Sept. 20 from 3-3:30 p.m. below the Murray Morgan Bridge at the corner of Dock and 11th streets. “We are pleased to add this powerful mural that pays tribute to Tacoma’s rich history to the City’s art collection,� said Tacoma Arts Administrator Amy McBride. The mural was commissioned by the City of Tacoma as part of the Murray Morgan Bridge rehabilitation. Built in 1913, the Murray Morgan Bridge was closed in 2007 due to safety concerns, and restored and reopened 100 years later, in 2013. This $12,000 mural commission is part of an interpretive information plan to tell the story of the bridge and celebrate its connection to the Foss Waterway. Goettling is a Gig Harbor artist who received his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from The Evergreen State College with an emphasis on narrative painting and drawing. His work has been exhibited nationally, and more information on him is available at nickalas.com.

Community working group to tackle billboards A community working group has been assembled to develop regulatory alternatives, for Planning Commission and City Council consideration, regarding billboards in the City of Tacoma. The working group members come from a diverse social and professional makeup, including representatives from community, business, neighborhood, non-profit and advertising sectors – including billboard companies and those working to preserve historic places and scenic views. The diversity is intended to facilitate creativity, robust discussion, and varied viewpoints and analysis throughout the process. The first public meeting is Monday, Sept. 22, from 4-6 p.m. in the Commencement Bay Conference Rooms at the Center for Urban Waters, 326 E. D St., Tacoma, WA 98421. Follow-up meetings will occur at the same time and place. October, November and December meetings will be on the first and third Mondays of the month. January and February meetings will be on the first and fourth Mondays. For more information, contact Principal Planner John Harrington, at (253) 279-8950 or jharring@cityoftacoma.org

FOSS ALUM COMES FULL CIRCLE Bradley Loetzke has returned to his former high school to develop a program for students to seek out scholarships By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com

ALUM. (left) Bradley Loetzke stands outside Foss High School before graduating in 2004. (right) Coming full circle, Loetzke stands in the same spot 10 years later as an instructor at Foss.

“I did a lot of research on schooling and started seeing a lot of scores and percentages on how kids are doing in math and history are just sliding, and I know that through education a lot of more doors are opened up,� Loetzke said. Students will be a part of the program from their sophomore year to their senior year, where Loetzke will try and determine scholarships that students should apply for based on their specific circumstances and talents. “The universe is going to push me toward education. My eyes have opened up a lot more to

understanding that’s what the root of the problem is as far as what I want to accomplish,� Loetzke said. Loetzke is currently working on getting his masters in Criminal Justice from Seattle University, due to a passion for

lowering the number of inmates in the prison system, but he’s beginning to feel that education may be his true calling. “I see a lot of what’s going on with the prison population and things of that nature, and [school] is where it starts,� Loetz-

ke said. “I think giving the best education I can provide will hopefully re-route [students] from making bad decisions.� But Loetzke hopes to do more than divert kids from trouble; he wants to help kids achieve the dream of an affordable

hen Bradley Loetzke was preparing to teach his first class at Foss High School on Sept. 3, he had some concerns. What if the kids didn’t listen to him? What if they refuse to sit down? What if he couldn’t connect? All of these were valid thoughts; after all, not so long ago Loetzke was wandering the same Foss halls, ready to add gray hairs to his teachers’ heads. “Ten years ago, I was the kid that needed to be told to sit down,� Loetzke said. Today, things are a little different. Loetzke has returned to his former high school to develop a program for students to seek out scholarships and become prepared for a college experience and despite Loetzke’s reservations, he’s found a group of kids that are ready and willing to learn. “They sit down and listen. It’s something that they want; all the students in this program signed up for it,� Loetzke said. Loetzke got involved at Foss after graduating from Evergreen State College. At Evergreen, he ended up teaching a program on how to carry oneself professionally. He was able to transition that into part time work at Clover Park Technical College, helping students with credit retrieval. When he was offered a full-time position at either Foss or Clover Park, he chose to make a return to his old stomping grounds.

higher education. “[My passion is] definitely getting students to stay out of trouble and helping [students] reach their dreams. That’s pretty much the dream, to get a nice education and to be able to afford it in whatever our passion is to keep us thriving, so definitely getting them to the next level and helping them afford it,� Loetzke said. After all of Loetzke’s success over the last decade, he feels it’s important for students that remind him of his younger self to feel that they can achieve. “I’ve seen myself in the hallway 10 years ago,� Loetzke said. “Education is key. I’ve seen a lot of my friends fade because they haven’t had education, either working at jobs they don’t want to work at or being in a position they don’t want to be in because of a lack of education and opportunities.� And what better venue to instill knowledge than your old alma mater? With Loetzke now leaning toward a future in education, he’s happy to come full circle and return home to Foss. “Always give back to where you came from,� Loetzke said.

really to bring Sea Scouts from the community back into the fold, so to speak, or to at least recognize the 90 years of service for the Sea Scouts.� A reception kicks off the celebration at 5:30 p.m. and all Sea Scouts in attendance will have a special mark on their nametag to assist in identifying and finding each other. Mayor Marilyn Strickland will be the opening speaker. Port of Tacoma Commission President and Youth Marine Foundation Board Member Clare Petrich will address the crowd as well. The Sea Scouts being a branch of the Boy Scouts for maritime interests, a very special guest will be Boy Scouts of America Deputy Chief Scout Executive and Chief Operating Officer Gary Butler, who is being flown to Tacoma from Texas by the Boy Scouts of America just for the Tacoma Sea Scouts 90th anniversary celebration. “That really shows respect for the program and the celebration we’re having that they’re going to recognize the contributions of the program in that way,� Russell said. The free event, to be held in the Youth Marine Center’s historic boathouse, will feature memorabilia and photos on display and multimedia screens showing highlights of the Sea Scouts program over the

years. Of particular interest will be Tacoma Sea Scouts photos that were developed from rolls of film found in a time capsule buried in 1936 and unearthed in 2011 at Boy Scout Camp Kilworth in Federal Way. And bring your appetite for the oyster bar courtesy of Taylor Shellfish, smoked salmon, appetizers and beverages. There will be music, games and fun activities, a salute to adult Sea Scouts leaders, sharing of ideas for the future, visits to the Sea Scouts ships, a singalong with sea shanties and more. The public is invited to attend, especially Tacoma Sea Scout alumni, but must RSVP as space is limited to 300 people. Those wishing to attend are asked to contact Russell at mrussell@ youthmarinefoundation.org or (253) 572-2666.

but from across western Washington – Snohomish County, Bremerton, Olympia, Enumclaw, Port Orchard and Auburn, to name a handful. Many of these Sea Scouts move on to have successful careers in the maritime industry. Just this year, three Tacoma Sea Scouts entered California Maritime Academy, considered the Harvard of maritime education on the West Coast. This brings much pride to Youth Marine Center Board President Tom Rogers, who has seen countless youth grow in self-confidence and wisdom through his five decades as adult volunteer and senior skipper of the Charles N. Curtis, one of the Tacoma Sea Scouts’ three training vessels with the Odyssey and Verite. “They’ll come out of (California Maritime Academy) with 95 percent job placement and starting salaries in the $70,000 to $80,000 a year range,� he said. But a chunky salary isn’t the goal of Sea Scouts – it’s teaching the youth the skills they’ll need to succeed personally and professionally as adults, and what better way than out on the water manning a ship like the 78-foot motor vessel Charles N. Curtis where there is no adult crew, outside of an adult skipper, and the Scouts are in charge. The Curtis is a Coast Guard certified passenger vessel, so the Sea Scouts train to Coast Guard standards, which is not endemic of all Sea Scout ships across the country according to Russell. “They’re the ones doing the navigation and running the engine room – they’re doing all the coordination and teamwork to get that

ship underway and going,� he said. “What a challenge for a young person to step up and take a role like that and take the pride they get from doing something like that,� Rogers added. And he should know, having been an adult volunteer with Tacoma Sea Scouts since 1964. “Every year is different and brings different types of young people, with different needs and characteristics,� Rogers said. “Young people today have more challenges, but overall in many respects they’re as good as, if not better than, what we were as young kids.� Rogers said he is proud that the Sea Scouts welcome young people from different backgrounds, family incomes, abilities or special needs. “It’s a very inclusive program,� he said. “If they’re here to participate and be active, they’ll be in the program.� He’s proud, too, of how the Scouts earn their way financially, such as through managing the docks at Husky Stadium during home games. “Here’s where they’re working in the adult world and learning to manage and deal with that kind of world. It’s an extremely important part of the training that goes on. Our expectations are adult expectations, and we expect them to operate that way.� These are things the youth can’t learn in the classroom. “Leadership is a tested affair – you have to go out and practice it,� as Rogers put it.

Considering the $500,000 grant the Tacoma Youth Maritime Center received over the summer from the Seattle Foundation, coupled with the Youth Marine Foundation’s strong board of directors, the Sea Scouts’ 90-year mark and all the youth, and adults the program has touched, Russell said the Youth Maritime Center looks ahead with confidence. “We have assured the future of our buildings and our boats, now we’re raising funds to make sure this program is stable and funded into the future, and grows,� he said. “I think not enough people understand what a spectacular Sea Scouts program Tacoma has, from its regional draw to this national recognition to the caliber of the ships and volunteers we have – Tacoma really has something unique not just for the South Sound but for the state and country right here in Tacoma.� Keep an eye out for the Sea Scouts at Maritime Fest, Sept. 21-22 along Thea Foss Waterway, where the Scouts will be staffing an information table, doing demonstrations and displaying the Curtis and Odyssey.

He’s known Rogers since 1996, and said that what has been created at the Tacoma Youth Marine Center would not have happened without his friend and mentor. “He’s an extremely humble man. Everything he does in regard to youth programming is for the youth – there’s never an ‘I’ or ‘me’ that comes out of it,� Todd said. Russell noted that Rogers’ impact on Tacoma’s Sea Scouts is seen everywhere in the program, and has helped lead to the highest number of participants and adult volunteers in the country. Today, Tacoma Sea Scouts produces up to 15 percent of quartermasters nationwide, the Eagle Scout equivalent for Sea Scouts and the highest rank achievable. “This is, in our opinion, the strongest Sea Scouts program in the whole country,� Russell said. “We have the largest sailing vessel in the Sea Scouts fleet and tallest mast in Tacoma with the Odyssey, and the Curtis is the longest serving Sea Scout vessel in the nation right now.� “We are the maritime academy for the South Sound,� Rogers said. “Once you get past Seattle, there’s not much down here so we really are building up some-

Is an all-green energy strategy worth the cost? By Don C. Brunell What if we could peer into the future and see the consequences of the decisions we make today? In a way, we can. According to Washington economists, a carbon tax high enough to achieve Gov. Jay Inslee’s stated climate change goals would increase gasoline prices almost 60 percent over time and raise natural gas prices – currently our most affordable energy – nearly 35 percent. The carbon tax is only one part of Inslee’s climate change agenda. How much will the rest of it cost Washington families? At this point, we don’t know precisely how the governor’s energy agenda will affect our economy. But we can see that a misguided and mismanaged “green� agenda can cripple a nation’s economy and stick struggling families with the bill. Germany has launched a program to virtually eliminate the use of fossil fuel and nuclear energy by 2050. Called Energiewende, or energy revolution, it seeks to build a nationwide infrastructure of wind and solar power at an estimated cost of one trillion euros. Chancellor Angela Merkel says, “No country of Germany’s scale has pursued such a radical shift in its energy supply.� Well, that much is true. And judging from the results, no country will. The program has been marked by poor judgment, ineptitude and mindboggling cost overruns.

To take advantage of more consistent winds, the government encouraged wind producers to site their turbines offshore. But to protect shoreline ecosystems, the wind farms were pushed up to 60 miles offshore, where rough seas and construction challenges have sent costs soaring. Electricity generated by wind farms in northern Germany must be moved to the industrial south, but The Wall Street Journal reports that Germany has no north-south transmission line. The government must build and upgrade more than 4,000 miles of high-voltage power lines, but because of delays, community opposition and indecision, only 220 miles have been completed. To encourage expansion of wind and solar power, the German government set guaranteed prices for renewable energy developers, paid for by surcharges on people’s electricity bills. Der Spiegel, Germany’s version of Time magazine, reports that this year German consumers will be forced to pay $26 billion for electricity that sells for less than $4 billion on the open market. More than 300,000 German families a year have their electricity cut off because of unpaid bills. There’s even a name for it: energy poverty. Energy costs for employers have jumped 60 percent over five years and nearly 75 percent of Germany’s small and midsize companies say rising energy costs are a major risk, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Global giant BASF, which has more than 50,000 employees in Germany,

announced in May it would substantially reduce its investments there because of the country’s energy policy. A major German industrial gas company cited the risky energy policies when it shelved plans to expand production there, opting instead to build in France. Ironically, Washington has benefited from Germany’s problems. Citing Washington’s affordable electricity, SGL Carbon, a German maker of carbon-based products for BMW autos, decided to invest $200 million in a new plant in Moses Lake instead of investing in its home country. Germany’s climate change agenda is putting its entire economy at risk, even though it contributes little more than 2 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases. Will we do the same? Our state contributes only 3/10th of 1 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases. Even if we gutted our economy with crushing “green� regulations, would it have any impact on global climate? Will it be worth the cost? As Gov. Inslee develops his climate change policy to be announced next year, he needs to answer those questions. 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.

We’re all a little bit ‘tree hugging’ by default By Pam McAllister On Sept. 21, the People’s Climate March will commence in New York City as world leaders gather for a United Nations emergency summit on climate change. Thousands of organizations have signed on and many demonstrations have been planned across the country on that day. Perhaps more than one million people will descend on Manhattan Sept. 21 to support environmental and human survival. Almost inevitably, someone from the media or a prior or the current administration will throw around the label “tree hugger� and no one will be shocked. In preparation for the march and in reflecting on the perceived negativity of this label, I’ve been thinking about the heroines of the Chipko (“tree-hugging�) movement in India. In 1730, Amrita Devi watched men with axes enter her village with an order from the Maharajah – to cut down trees needed to build his new palace. The trees were the villagers’ source of life, the only green in an otherwise barren landscape. The forest shielded the people from the desert, protected their fragile water supply and provided fodder for the cows and twigs for the fire. What’s more, the trees and animals were sacred and not to be harmed, according to the rules of their Hindu sect. Amrita Devi tried to reason with the men, but they had their orders. They entered the forest with axes raised. Amrita Devi boldly walked past the bewildered men and stretched her thin arms around a tree saying, “If a tree is saved, even at the cost of one’s head, it is worth it.� Amrita Devi was beheaded protecting

the trees. When her three daughters stepped up to take her place, they, too, were beheaded. It is said that 363 villagers were killed that day, trying to save the trees that were essential to their lives. When the Maharajah heard about the massacre, he was appalled at the loss of life. As the story is told, he declared a permanent injunction against felling the trees or killing the wildlife in the area of the massacre and exempted the villages of that region from land taxes. Today, the Bishnoi villages of Jodhpur are a tourist attraction, green and beautiful, filled with animals and birds, in an otherwise desolate region. Amrita Devi is honored as one of the world’s first eco-warriors. The Chipko Movement was reborn in the 1970s as developers descended on the Himalayan forests seeking short-term profit. Deforestation led to environmental disasters. In monsoon season, landslides and floods devastated the regions where tree roots once secured the land. One day in March 1974, when the men of Reni were away, laborers with axes and guns showed up with government permits to fell the trees. A little girl saw them and raced to get Gaura Devi who quickly alerted 27 other women. Together, they marched to the forest and confronted the men. Gaura Devi (1925-1991) was unschooled, but wise. She said, “Brothers, this forest is like our mother. You will have to shoot me before you can cut it down.� The men laughed. Dodging obscenities and threats, the women stood between the men and the trees until the workers, frustrated and exhausted, backed down. It took months of vigilance and protest, but the people, with women in the lead, saved

their trees. The rural Chipko movement has been an inspiration to ecology activists around the globe. In 2008, twig sculptures of the tree-hugging women created by Klub Gaja, a Polish environmentalist group, greeted delegates at the entrance to the UN’s climate change conference in Poznan, Poland. How can I, a woman living in 21st century New York City, understand this story? If I’m thirsty, I turn the tap, and clear, drinkable water comes out. If I want to cook my dinner, I turn another knob and a small, controllable ring of fire appears on my stovetop. I can’t imagine using 85 percent of my time walking to get water or firewood. Can any of us? But then, I remember the water crisis in Detroit, droughts in California, Texas and the Great Plains region, mountaintop removals and coal mine exploitation in West Virginia, deforestation of the Southeastern U.S. for European utilities and the 2,000 square miles of Louisiana coastline that has disappeared in the past 80 years. Across the U.S., we’re all facing environmental degradation and the adverse affects of climate change – in our own backyards. If the term “tree hugger� means valuing long-term life – the lives of our family members and communities – over short-term profits, then perhaps it’s not such a bad name after all. When it comes to the security and safety of our families, we’re all a little “tree hugging� by default. In any case, we’re well past the time for “tree hugging.� It’s really all about “lifesaving� at this point.

The words and images on this page are more difficult to create than most people might think. First, there is the process of selecting a topic that can’t be better served with coverage elsewhere in the newspaper, as sometimes the hearts of the issues go beyond the facts and figures of a news story. Opinion pieces, whether written or drawn, strive to add context and texture as well as arguments on issues people are talking about – or should be talking about. They are often calls to action, but they are also methods for writers and cartoonists to state their views of the world in hopes that their statements aren’t the last word on the issues. What also appears on this page is a bulletin board of sorts where readers can add their perspectives. Letters to the editor, not so long ago, were once the bread and butter of newspapers, as readers would routinely pen missives about their thoughts or news from their streets. People just don’t write letters anymore, opting rather to comment on stories through social media, quick text messages and links or they choose to simply stew in silence. However, social media avenues don’t always serve the common good because they often dissolve into name calling in strings of two-sentence jabs without full contextualization while rebuttals are often answered with divergences or misdirection. Writing opinions, letters and editorials or crafting editorial cartoons requires the distillation of complex facts and figures into key, defensible points rather than the jab-and-dodge world of social media debate. We are losing the art of rhetoric. Take, for example, Chris Britt’s editorial cartoon, published in the Sept. 5 edition of the Tacoma Weekly, about the debate currently being dissected around the nation concerning the rise of what is being called “the militarization of police forces,� particularly in light of the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. and the protests that followed. Britt’s cartoon prompted calls and emails from readers critical of our perceived “anti-cop� stance. This is unfortunate, as the Tacoma Weekly has steadfastly supported, and will continue to support, law and order to keep the community safe. We believe that the men and women in our local police departments are key to that, and that these officers should have all the tools they need to keep residents, and themselves, safe. They should have the right shooting weapons when called for and stun guns when they would suffice. Our police should have armored personnel carriers right along with patrol cars and bicycles – all have their place in police departments. It is true, as well, that a national debate is happening around police departments ramping up their arsenals with surplus war machinery and this, coupled with residual emotions across the country from the Michael Brown shooting, show that Britt’s cartoon was a mirror on the public debate, not a case of the Weekly disrespecting police. Holding up that mirror doesn’t always give a pretty reflection, but it is a real reflection of what people are talking about for better or worse. If we offend anyone in our efforts we apologize, as that is certainly not our intent. Our intent is to spur debate, not to be an affront to our readers. Therefore, we invite our reading public to engage with us on our opinion page – write letters to the editor on the issues, talk to each other through the Weekly, air grievances or form solutions. That is what the page is here for. As the Weekly strives to live up to the motto printed on the front page of every edition – “Because community matters� – we strive to represent a wealth of opinions from our wonderfully diverse city and always with the intention of ultimately strengthening Tacoma and its citizenry of which we are a part.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, My name is Larry Andren, and I sit on the executive board of the Retired Police Officers Association, and the board of directors of Tacoma Pierce County Crime Stoppers. I am appalled at the (Sept. 5) editorial cartoon of Chris Britt, showing a police officer shooting down a young black man, then a caption of “you have the right to remain silent.� Your paper has a history of cooperation with local law enforcement, but this is slap in the face, to all local officers who serve the citizens of this community. If it is meant as humor, I see none. I believe an apology is due to all who suit up and keep this region safe. We work hard to build bridges to our communities, but images like this that have no relativity to this area are extremely damaging. I await your response. Larry Andren s Tacoma, WA Dear Editor, This comes in response to the horribly distasteful “editorial cartoon� your editorial staff chose to publish in the Sept. 5 edition. If The Tacoma Weekly editors believe this reflects the attitude of our local police officers, you are in drastic deception. If you think there is any humor in that cartoon, you have a naive, comic book sense of misguided, warped humor that serves to inflame negativity toward peace officers and the rule of law. As one who has spent thousands of hours with our Tacoma officers both on and off the street, and who is a trained police officer, please know that Tacoma and Pierce County police officers use the highest levels of self-control and restraint in their frequent confrontation with potentially violent offenders to protect and serve justice in this city and county. Your cartoon depicts that our police officers are cruel, rabid, insensitive shooters. It is a glaring disgrace and offense to our excellent police force. It is my hope you will print an apology and retraction of this errant, ugly cartoon, which demeans your journal. Sincerely, with disgust, Chaplain Russ Guppy s Tacoma Police Chaplain

water into Commencement Bay. The plant treats sewage from Tacoma Fife, Ruston, Fircrest and unincorporated Pierce County. The plant’s location on the tideflats makes sense because of its central location and its proximity to Commencement Bay; but the being just yards from the Puyallup River and Commencement Bay is a liability when flood rains come because the river could crest its banks and send water into the facility. An overflow could send untreated sewage into Puget Sound with potentially negative impacts to water-based businesses, recreation consequences for residents and impacts to wildlife. It’s that threat that placed it high on the flood control district’s list of priorities even if the wall itself won’t be much to look at when its completed. The 2,500-foot-long wall will only be between one and eight feet high, but will be driven some 25 feet into the ground to prevent water from seeping below it. Three automatic lift gates will be the first constructed in the state and help control floodwater during heavy rains. The wall is the second project funded through the flood control district, right behind levee improvements in Orting. The district’s 2014 budget includes $10.2 million for capital projects mostly involving flood control project related to the Puyallup River. PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

LINCOLN ABES USE SPEED AND POWER TO THROTTLE PUYALLUP

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

M

ake no mistake about it. When the Lincoln Abes take the football field their plan is simple. They are going to put a big number on the scoreboard or go down trying and their hard-hitting, fast defense is going to leave you black and blue. The visiting Puyallup Vikings sailed into Lincoln Bowl on Friday night, Sept. 16, looking to follow-up on their impressive 43-21 season opening whipping of Thomas Jefferson. This time around they picked the wrong president as the Abes shook-off a one-point deficit at the half and hit the gas pedal in the second, blowing out Puyallup 52-23 in front of a big, jubilant crowd at historic Lincoln Bowl. It was expected to be a tight, nonleague match-up of 4A and 3A playoff teams from a year ago. What football fans witnessed was an Abes defense that stifled the Vikings throughout and a high-flying Lincoln offense that had Puyallup on its heels and wondering what was coming next. On its first possession, Puyallup worked its way down to the Lincoln 41-yard line before coming up six yards short for a first down and was forced to punt. On the next play, senior linebacker Marcus Johnson busted through the Vikings line and blocked Hiram Barriqa’s punt. Lincoln took over at Puyallup’s 39-yard line and six plays later, junior quarterback Jordan Kitna bolted through the middle of the line from the eight-yard line, bowling over Puyallup’s Dominic McNeal at the goal line and the Abes led 6-0 following a bad point-after kick with 7:09 remaining in the first quarter. The two teams would trade-off five possessions with no points to show for it before Puyallup had a moment of good fortune. Following a Viking punt, the Abes took over at their own 10-yard line. After an incomplete pass, Kitna was intercepted on the next play by defensive back Brady Winter, who tight-roped down the sideline 22 yards for Puyallup’s first score. The Vikings led 7-6 with 11:36 remaining in the second quarter. Lincoln would answer on its next possession with a 9-play, 79-yard touchdown drive. Facing second and goal from the eight-yard line, Kitna rolled to his left and found junior running-back Dionte Simon in the back corner of the end zone. Following a kick by senior Jeremy Lukosh, the Abes led 13-7. On the next Puyallup possession, Marcus Johnson came up big again for the Abes, intercepting a pass from Nathaniel Holcomb, returning the ball to the Puyallup 31-yard line. Two plays later Kitna was blindsided and fumbled and Puyallup regained possession. After a nine-play drive that seemed to go nowhere, the Vikings were forced to punt again. Puyallup intercepted Kitna on a deep pass four plays later and then things got controversial.

Lincoln forced Puyallup to punt on the next possession from its own 46-yard line. Barriqa’s punt sailed to the Lincoln 19-yard line where the referee ruled that an Abe had touched the ball and the Vikings recovered. It looked as though it was probably a poor call. Puyallup made the most of it four plays later when Holcomb lofted a pass to Tallon Yearbury into the back right corner of the end zone. Two Abes were covering the play and somehow, the ball found its way through two sets of arms. Puyallup took a 14-13 lead into halftime. The Abes opened the third quarter with a quick five-play, 59-yard scoring drive. On first and goal from the eight-yard line, Kitna scrambled to his right and rifled a pass to senior Jayson Williams for a touchdown. Lincoln led 19-14 with 9:57 left in the third quarter following the missed kick. Puyallup and Lincoln went nowhere, trading-off the next four possessions. The Lincoln defense forced Puyallup to punt on both possessions while the Abes offense came up short going for it twice

on fourth-down. On the next Viking possession, senior linebacker Jusstis Warren stepped in front of a Holcomb pass at the Puyallup 17-yard line and bolted up the left sideline untouched for a touchdown. The Abes now led 25-14 with 4:32 left in the third quarter. The Vikings managed to put together a solid drive on its next possession, but stalled at the Lincoln five-yard line. Barriqa put a 22-yard field goal through the uprights and Lincoln’s lead shrunk by three to 25-17 with 3:00 remaining in the third quarter. Powered by a 49-yard pass reception from Kitna to junior wide receiver Tony Archie, the Abes were deep inside Puyallup territory, yet again. Two plays later Kitna scrambled for a six-yard touchdown and Lincoln led 32-17 with 1:56 left, following a Lukosh kick. Lukosh pulled-off a perfect kickand-recover onside kick on the next play and Lincoln took over at its own 48-yard line. Two plays later, Kitna hit Williams X See FOOTBALL / page A13

The Stadium Tigers are looking to move up to the next level this volleyball season and, if the early-season results mean anything, the girls may be on their way. Stadium hosted the South Kitsap Wolves on Monday, Sept. 15 and the Tiger Gymnasium was as loud as a basketball game as the two squads used all five games to determine a winner of the match. In the fifth game, it was a late Stadium run that put the Tigers over the top (27-25), 25-21, 25-21, (25-12), 15-9. Trailing 7-8 in the final game, the Tigers looked to still be reeling and off-balance following the commanding 25-12 fourth-game win by South Kitsap. In stepped Olivia Glagavs to serve for Stadium. The junior had suffered some uncommonly poor hits and digs in the previous game and in the early part of game five. It was time for some redemption and Glagavs, and her team, delivered like veterans. Glagavs held serve for seven straight Stadium points, finally relinquishing the ball with a 14-9 advantage. South Kitsap’s Baylie Myers took over serve and her teammates dropped the final point for the Wolves as two of the front line hitters were called for a net violation. End of game and Stadium wins the match. “Olivia didn’t even play last year,� said Stadium head coach Hannah Merritt. “She has been a solid backbone for our defense. Her serve-receive is almost perfect and if her defense is not there, she’s still running the defense back there and keeping everybody else together.� The first, second and third games were slugfests with neither team gaining more than a 4-point advantage at any time during the contest. South Kitsap’s Courtney Schmidt, Sarah Carlson and Natalie Olson were big hitters at the net and blocked several shots throughout the first game, while Myers held serve to close-out an exciting game one. Several players stood out for Stadium in the back-and-forth second game. Chloe Coughlan was a force at the net and had a nice run while serving. Julie Battishill and Ashton Robertson came through for some clutch wins toward the

goals in the game’s first 19 minutes and could have easily pushed it deep into double-digits had they maintained their attack-mode throughout the second half. From the opening whistle, Fife put constant pressure on Washington goalkeeper Kayla Abler and the Patriot defense, hammering away and making runs at the goal over and over again. Abler showed a lot of heart in goal, often facing one-on-one situations and actually stopped several shots while trying to rally her defenders to the ball. In the fifth minute of the match, senior midfielder Brittany Pringle pushed past her defender while controlling the ball and worked her way to within 15 yards of the goal. Pringle then let loose a bullet that Abler was able to block, only to have it drop right in front of sophomore forward Katelyn Evans squarely in front of the goal, she quickly struck the ball into the back of the net and the Trojans

The Fife Trojans girls’ soccer team bolted to a big halftime lead and set it on cruise control the rest of the way against the visiting Washington Patriots Tuesday night, Sept. 16, at Fife Stadium. The 8-1 Fife victory opened 2A South Puget Sound League play for both squads, and it was also the debut of the beautiful new Trojan Stadium Field Turf for a soccer match. After being relegated to playing their home matches at Surprise Lake Middle School last season due to the poor conditions of the old field, the Trojans were happy to return to Fife Stadium and a nice-sized crowd was on hand to cheer them on. It was clear that the visiting Patriots were going to have their hands full from the get-go in this match. Fife scored five

led 1-0. Two minutes later and Fife was at it again. Sophomore midfielder Courtney Morton was able to work her way down to the left side of the goal and sent the ball back into the middle of the box where sophomore midfielder Avery Newberry hammered the shot home. Fife now led 2-0. Before they could really catch their breath and square themselves away, the Patriots found themselves under pressure yet again just a minute later. Senior defender Maddie Michaud had worked her way up past midfield and having broken through much of the Washington defense on her own, continued on toward the goal and blasted a shot past Abler for a 3-0 Trojan lead. Fife took a whole seven minutes before scoring their next goal, but it was not because they weren’t trying. The Washington defenders put together

repeated stops against a torrent of Fife shots on goal, but bent at the 15-minute mark when Pringle received a long lead pass from Evans while streaking up the right side. Pringle beat her defender with the dribble, angled toward the front of the goal and skipped a shot into the back right of the net with the outside of her right foot. Fife’s advantage was now 4-0. At this point, Fife new girls head coach Tony Crudo began making wholesale substitutions in the game and five new Trojans took the field. It looked like business as usual however, as Fife scored again four minutes later in the 19th minute. Junior midfielder Savannah Way lofted a perfect corner kick into the center of the box where midfielder Kelly Oberbillig was waiting. The tall senior took the pass on the fly and struck it home with her left foot, just past a diving Abler. Fife now led 5-0. X See SOCCER / page A13

SPORTSWATCH LUTES FOOTBALL HITS (33 *@305+,9: 05 67,5,9

Niko Madison showed off the ability that made him the 2013 Northwest Conference rushing champion, running for nearly 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead 17th-ranked Pacific Lutheran to a 35-28 non-conference rivalry win over California Lutheran in the 2014 season opener Saturday at Sparks Stadium. The Lutes never trailed in the contest and twice held 14-point leads as a dominant rushing effort in the first half gave PLU 209 yards on the ground before the break. Madison ran for 123 of his game-total 149 before halftime as PLU nearly doubled Cal Lutheran’s yardage total in the first two quarters. PLU took the opening kickoff and drove 74 yards down the field on eight plays to take a 7-0 lead following a 4-yard touchdown run by Madison. CLU tied it up on the ensuing drive on a 10-yard scoring pass from David Rico to Sean Bellotti, but the Lutes responded in turn with an 11-play drive that finished with a 2-yard scoring run by Darin Hardgrove. Kyle Madsen’s 1-yard run early in the second quarter gave PLU a 21-7 lead. The Lutes had two opportunities to add to that lead before halftime, but the CLU defense prevented PLU from scoring despite twice making its way into visiting territory. Cal Lutheran made the necessary halftime adjustments and put together a 10-play scoring drive to start the second half, capped by E.J. Edinburgh’s 2-yard touchdown run. The Kingsmen tied it up 15 minutes later when Rico ran it in from four yards out to make it 21-21 with less than 13 minutes to play. It didn’t take long for the Lutes to respond, however, as on the second play of their next drive Dalton Ritchey found an uncovered Kyle Warner deep for a 68-yard scoring pass. Madison’s second scoring run of the day came a few minutes later following a Cal Lutheran fumble. The Kingsmen worked their way back into the game with a scoring pass from Andrew Worthley to Nick Isham with 2:06 showing on the clock, but the Lutes recovered an onside kick and held the ball until less than 30 seconds remained. Cal Lutheran had its final chance in the closing seconds with a long field to go, but Spencer McKinnon intercepted Isham’s pass to seal the win for PLU. McKinnon and Hibbard each intercepted passes in the game, with Hibbard picking off a pass in the end zone right before halftime and returning it 100 yards for a touchdown that was called back due to a PLU penalty. Joel Teats and Travis McCarthy led the defense for the Lutes, as Teats tallied eight tackles and McCarthy added six in the win. Ritchey passed for 173 yards and one touchdown to go with one interception, and he also rushed for 36 yards. Warner grabbed four passes for 92 yards and a score. Isham and Rico combined for 255 passing yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions for CLU, and the QB duo also combined for 101 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Robert Foy made 11 tackles, including one sack and two tackles-for-loss for the Kingsmen. The Lutes, now 1-0 this season, have a bye next week before heading to San Antonio, Tex., to take on Trinity on Sept. 27.

LOGGER QB HANS FORTUNE EARNS NWC WEEKLY HONOR

Hans Fortune was named the Northwest Conference’s Football Student-Athlete of the Week (offense) after he nearly led the Loggers to a miraculous win at Occidental on Saturday, Sept. 13. The Loggers trailed by 21 points with three minutes left in regulation, but the sophomore quarterback, completed three touchdown passes in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Occidental held on to win, 34-32. Fortune completed 34 of 60 pass attempts for 533 yards and five touchdowns. He threw just one interception. “Given Hans’ diligence and hard work this past offseason, it comes as no surprise that he has excelled with his recent opportunity on the field,� said Puget Sound head coach Jeff Thomas. The Loggers have consecutive bye weeks before they host NWC rival Lewis & Clark on Saturday, Oct. 4. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

The University of Puget Sound women’s soccer team came away victorious against crosstown rival Pacific Lutheran University on Saturday afternoon, 1-0. Sophomore defender Emma Donckels’ goal for Puget Sound in the 18th minute ended up being the difference. The ball came off a corner kick and Donckels was able to send it into the upper left corner of the net. In the second half, the Logger defense, including sophomore Bailey Edwards, was able to shut down Pacific Lutheran and did not allow the Lutes to take a shot. Throughout the game, senior Annie Jonsson made great runs that led to a team-high five shots. Junior Amalia Acorda-Fey dribbled around Lute players to create opportunities for the Loggers, and she took three shots in the match. The Lutes were denied any real chances by the Puget Sound defense from the 30th minute onward. The Loggers controlled

the ball the majority of the second half, keeping possession on the Pacific Lutheran end of the field. Puget Sound goalkeeper Lauren Thomas recorded the shutout with one save. The Loggers outshot the Lutes (15-3) and had more corner kicks (8-2). Puget Sound will look to continue its winning streak next Saturday, Sept. 20, when it hosts Linfield at 12 pm. The Loggers, who have won 12 consecutive Northwest Conference crowns, improve to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play. PLU falls to 0-1 in the NWC and 2-2-1 overall. The Lutes return home next weekend and are set to host Pacific on Sept. 21 at 12 p.m.

Pacific Lutheran finished their nonconference season with a blowout 4-0 over Hamline University. The Lutes’ win brought them up to a 3-3-0 record going into their Conference Season next weekend.

Striking early and scoring often, the University of Puget Sound men’s soccer team routed Trinity Lutheran University 8-1 on Saturday afternoon improving their early-season record to 3-2-1. Senior Sean Ryan led the charge for the Loggers with two goals and an assist. Both of Ryan’s goals were on crosses from junior Sam Zisette. Recording his sixth goal of the year was senior Oliver Field. Field scored with his head on a long ball from Ryan in the 12th minute. Senior Landon Gauthier notched a goal after senior Stewart Miller’s shot hit the left post and landed at his feet. In the 44th minute, freshman Vincent Von Luehrte hammered the ball into the net on a pass from Miller. Scoring in the second half of the match was freshman Cameron Lorek on a through ball from Gauthier. Freshman Ezra Kraus and sophomore Pablo Alguindigue both put crosses away in the 83rd and 85th minutes to wrap up the scoring spree for Puget Sound. Puget Sound started its scoring early with Ryan’s first goal in the fourth minute. The Eagles came back just under a minute later to tie the game at one. The Loggers scored again the 12th minute and then were able shut down most chances the Eagles had. The Loggers ended the first half with a 4-1 lead. Bringing that scoring energy into the second half, the Loggers netted four more goals with the first of the four occurring in the 48th minute. To finish the game, sophomore Tristan Stevenson held strong on defense and allowed the Eagles to get only one shot on goal. Over the course of the match, the Loggers had 23 different players step foot on the field. The Loggers outshot the Eagles (23-6) and had more corner kicks (7-1). Goalkeepers Nathan King and Jacob Palmer split the match and each recorded one save. The Loggers shutout Hamline University by a score of 4-0 the night before. The trip to Tacoma was not kind to Hamline, who went 0-2 against UPS and PLU with a score differential of 0-8. Puget Sound will look to carry this momentum into conference play on Saturday, Sept. 20 at home against Pacific University, followed by a Sunday home match against George Fox.

Puyallup moved the ball out to the 40-yard line on its next drive, but three-straight Holcomb incompletions forced the Vikings to punt again. Lincoln took over on its own 37-yard line and quickly moved the ball down field in six plays. Kitna connected with Marcus Johnson on a 4-yard touchdown pass and the Abe lead stretched to 46-17 with 10:52 left in the fourth quarter, following a Lukosh kick.

However, Jusstis Warren closed the book on the drive intercepting Holcomb’s pass in the end zone. Lincoln started the next drive at its own 20-yard line and worked its way up to the 50-yard line.

end of the game as Stadium looked to build some momentum for the third game in this marathon. “Chloe Coughlan had to take most of the season off last year with a broken foot and has come back stronger than ever,� said Merritt. “She’s very versatile. I can put her in any position on the net and defense and she rocks any position we put her at.� The third game was much like the second, with South Kitsap owning the advantage for much of the contest. Prior to their final run in the game, Stadium had owned small leads early on of 2-0, 4-2 and an 11-10 advantage shortly after. The Wolves held strong and led 21-20 late in the game until Battishill slammed home a point to tie things up at 21-all. From that point on, the Tigers ran-off four straight points to take game three.

mostly Lincoln reserves. On fourth and goal from the five-yard line, Holcomb connected with Yearbury in the back of the end zone for the final score of the game. Puyallup’s point-after was no good and the scoreboard read Lincoln 52, Puyallup 23. Jordan Kitna finished with 377 yards on 20 of 37 pass attempts. The 6-1, 195-pound junior connected on four touchdown passes, ran for two touchdowns and threw two interceptions. Lincoln added another 248 yards rushing to outgain Puyallup 625-273 in total offensive yardage.

Washington finally put together an answer three minutes later when junior forward Alexis Dixon blew past the Fife defense on the left wing, advanced on the goal with a couple of dribbles and fired a shot into the back right of the goal past junior goalkeeper Carlie Kilcup. The Trojan lead was now 5-1. The teams traded-off goals in the 31st and 32nd minute of the first half, only to have them wiped away by offside calls by the referee. Washington began to rally in the final ten minutes, applying more pressure on the Fife defense, and it would cost them. In the 38th minute, Fife was mixing it up again in front of the Washington goal. Pringle got off a half-shot that ricocheted off of the goalkeeper’s face and bounced right in front of Evans yet again, who tapped the ball in easily for a 6-1 Fife lead. Just before the half, Evans sent a long pass from the right wing toward the left side of the Washington goal. It looked as though the ball was heading out of bounds, but sophomore midfielder Courtney Morton was able to get a foot on it at the last moment and skipped it into the goal. Fife went into the half with a 7-1 lead. Fife would score again early in the second half when junior defender Sydney Nevin heeled the ball backwards into the net following a jumble of activity

Game four was all South Kitsap. The Wolves ran out to a 9-2 lead and never looked back as Olson was a terror at the net and the South Kitsap front line was blocking several Tiger attempts. The best Stadium could do was a four-point run that closed the gap to 6-11and then South Kitsap ran away with it. It was down to game five, which is played to a 15-point limit, instead of 25. Whatever momentum South Kitsap had manufactured in game four was long gone as the Tigers shrugged off the earlier loss and captured the victory going away. “This definitely showed that their hearts are there this year,� said Merritt. “They’ve worked their butts off all summer and every practice they all work hard. We have a big team this year. We had nine last year and we’ve got 12 this year, so they each have to earn their spot every day and they’re really doing a good job of it.� The win follows another tough five-game victory on the road against Decatur, and the Tigers are now breathing the rare-air of a winning record at 2-1.

in front of the goal. The Trojans led 8-1 and it looked as though the game might move past a blowout and become just plain ugly. It wasn’t going to happen though as Crudo directed his team to begin controlling and passing the ball around. The Trojans maintained possession of the ball for the majority of the second half, while stopping short on runs at the goal and pulling back to pass the ball around some more. For a team that was so obviously outpacing and outplaying its opponent, it was a pretty classy move by the Trojans. “They (Washington) are a well-coached team and organized but don’t have the development system underneath them feeding them players like we have,� said Crudo. “The Fife community is really good about teaching young players to play and it’s kind of like a conveyor belt of talent moving up in age every year. “This new field is beautiful. I know the alumni liked the old grass field, but this is much more conducive to having successful teams. The community has really helped out their teams to compete at the next level if they want to.

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

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

– 74 percent of whom are non-Native. Working in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities, these employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits. In 2012, the Tribe spent over $445 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. Even during the recession, the Tribe increased employment and funded substantial vendor purchases and construction projects,

keeping many businesses afloat and people employed. As the country continues to recover from past economic woes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians leads the way locally. From sponsoring dozens of local charities, nonprofit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and health care, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its well-deserved reputation as “the generous people,� a reflection of the meaning of the Tribe’s very name.

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

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

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

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

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

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

PUSA STAR SEES BRIGHT FUTURE FOR BABYPANTS

PHOTO BY BRIAN KASNYIK

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

I

f Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were the cool kids coming out of Seattle in the ‘90s, the Presidents of the United States of America were the spitball-firing class clowns. With radio hits “Peaches,” “Lump” and “Kitty,” they hit pay dirt with an approach to punk that was unrepentantly goofy, in stark contrast to their brooding grunge peers. Still, something never felt quite right to frontman Chris Ballew, who briefly quit the band in 1998. “There’s an aspect of what the Presidents do that’s like putting on a second skin, which is being ironic and sort of naughty,” he said recently. “I’m just not that ironic and not that naughty, it turns out,” he added, laughing. Enter: Ballew’s kid-oriented alter ego, Caspar Babypants, who will perform with Recess Monkey at Broadway Center’s Rialto Theatre on Saturday morning, Sept. 20. “The Caspar thing is fantastic ‘cause I just get to write these innocent, little songs,” he said. “It’s really just about being whimsical and free and light, and that’s how I like to live my life.” With the Presidents back on hiatus after this year’s “Kudos to You” album, Ballew is now in full-blown Babypants mode; and here’s more of what he had to say about his new kids’ album, “Rise and Shine,” finding his voice as a songwriter and dealing with half-pint hecklers. Tacoma Weekly: Most people know you for the Presidents. Chris Ballew: It depends on which people. TW: Right, unless they’re really, really little people. Ballew: Really, really little people don’t know even who that band is. TW: Well, since I’ve never interviewed you about this alter ego, how did Caspar Babypants start? Ballew: When the Presidents hit, and everything was great ... I still had a little voice in my mind that said, “Congratulations, but this is not it. This is not your musical home, your destination, your final stop.” It was confusing ‘cause I was like, “But Little Voice in My Head, this thing is amazing, and I’m on TV and I’m makin’ fat stacks and all this stuff.” But Little Voice kept going, “Sorry, gotta keep diggin’.” And, as I kept digging, I got quieter and more innocent and eventually ended up realizing what I was trying to make was music for little kids and families.

TW: How would you compare and contrast this as an outlet versus the Presidents? Though, I guess it’s not just those two bands. Ballew: Yeah, the Feelings Hijackers, Giraffes – all that stuff was just me stabbing around trying to find this other thing. The Presidents and Caspar are the two main things that kind of succeeded for me, and they’re basically the same. It’s just that the Presidents have an extra layer of noise, volume, intensity and sexual innuendo. So I took all those things away and just let the little, innocent core – which is who I really am – be the only engine that is driving the aesthetic ship. This Caspar thing feels a lot more sustainable. It’s not about being young and hot; it’s about being old and cool. Actually, not cool. It’s about being old and quiet, I guess - or mellow. Although, it’s not that mellow at some points. It’s actually more punk rock than a punk rock show at my Caspar shows sometimes. TW: Really? Ballew: They’re like the happiest drunk people ever, and they’re random and weird and they walk all over the stage, and they grab my equipment. … There’s only like four things for adults to do at a show, but there’s like 50 things that a kid could do. TW: What’s the funniest thing a kid has done during a show? Ballew: They’ll walked up to me and go, “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me” during a song, and I’ll stop and be like, “What?” “I have a red

songs get words tweaked and turn into Caspar songs and then get the words tweaked again and turned into Presidents songs. In fact, it’s occurred to me to do a Caspar does the Presidents cover album, where I take a song like “Lump” and break it down and completely rewrite it. It’s essentially covering, but it’s me sampling myself. TW: I’ve read that you have three albums coming out next year with Caspar. Could that be one of them? Ballew: No. That’s a huge project. That’s a project for when I’m, like, fresh out of ideas later on. I’m a little burned out on playing the Presidents songs right now. I’d want to dismantle them once I’ve kind of got some distance from ‘em. But I do have a record coming out … called “Rise and Shine” (released on Sept. 16.) Then I’ll have a lullaby record coming out in, I think, March; and then another full-on Caspar record coming out September of 2015. TW: Part of that is that you do all that yourself essentially, right? You can just drop three records in a year. Ballew: Easily, yeah. I’ve got buckets of songs – buckets, buckets, buckets. Not all of ‘em are great, but with the proper amount of attention of work they all have potential. I’ve just gotten way more into the craft of telling a story with a song; and the recording part is like being a sculptor and figuring out what few elements are gonna make the song really come alive. What I do is I imagine a family in a car in the summer in a traffic jam, say, trying to exit Yosemite National Park; and they’re out of food and they’re angry. (He laughs.) I think, “What is gonna help that family?” One of the aspects of the Presidents that wasn’t happening for me that I found with Caspar is that it has a big purpose beyond advertising my talent as a songwriter. It –Chris Ballew doesn’t just say, “Look at me, look at me, look at me.” It actually helps families sing jacket.” And sure enough, they’re wearing a red jacket the same song together … and have an experience – like, really important information. bonding over that. One kid stood in front of me for three entire songs. TW: I’m sensing you’re shutting down the Presi“Excuse me! Can I have a turn?” … Finally, I was like dents for a bit. this kid’s not gonna get the hint, so I stopped, and I Ballew: We’re taking some time off just to chill. gave him my guitar and he got a turn. He just sort of We’re in sort of a brown-out, but we’re in that never plunked it for about 10 seconds and went “thank you!” say never mode which we will be in for the rest of our and gave it back to me. lives.

There will just Ballew: Yeah, but the cutest, greatest hecklers. be a brown out. (He cracks up.) Then one kid was like, “Play that one song about TW: So what about some of your other projects, the little green man in the radio.” I don’t have a song like the Chris and Tad Show and Feelings Hijackers? about a little green man on the radio, but I made one What else is coming up for you? up on the spot - full song, verse, chorus.

I leaned down to the little kid and I’m like, “Is that TW: Oh, I’ve heard about that. the song you wanted to hear?” And he says, “No!” Ballew: Yeah, it’s brand new, apparently, and it is He’s super honest.

Ballew: I have buckets of songs and folders of 10:30 a.m. Sept. 20 ideas and stuff. I’ve already gone through my entire Rialto Theatre, 901 Broadway song repertoire and basically pulled out all the songs $12 to $17 that feel like they could become Caspar songs; and what’s left over are potential Presidents songs.

Rob Zombie, Godsmack Thrill the crowd at Pain In The Grass 2014 KISW’s annual summer party, Pain In The Grass, rolled up to the White River Amphitheater on the Auburn plateau on Friday, Sept. 12, bringing the sun and most of the Rockstar Uproar Festival lineup with it. Veteran bands Godsmack, Rob Zombie and Buckcherry thrilled the main stage crowd, while 16-year-old local favorite, Amanda Hardy, got the party started on the smaller, but just as lively, Festival Stage. 2014 saw Pain in the Grass, thankfully, coming back to the west side of the mountains after being held over at The Gorge last year. The ‘Rockaholics’ that showed up for the event had the choice of walking between two stages to catch the up and comers on the smaller Festival Stage or just staying put for the bigger names on the amphitheater Main Stage.

PHOTOS BY GLEN CASEBEER

Theory Of A Deadman from Vancouver, BC, featuring frontman/guitarist Tyler Connolly, played to a large throng of fans gathered in front of the main stage of Pain In The Grass proving they were worthy of playing under the roof that covers the amphitheater stage. Playing right after Buckcherry, our neighbors to the north delivered a solid set full of songs that have more hooks than a tackle box.

Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd blazed through a sweaty set of LA rock & roll delivered to an adoring crowd that knew all the words. Guitarist Keith Nelson laid down some fantastic guitar work and traded licks with Skid Row axeman Scotti Hill, who was on loan to replace Stevie D. who just welcomed a new baby into the world.

Pop Evil drummer Chachi Riot laying down the beat for the rest of this band from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pop Evil was the first band on the main stage and they got the Auburn crowd pumped up and ready for more.

Kevin “Thrasher” Gruft of Las Vegas post-hardcore band Escape The Fate delivering some tasty guitar riffs on the Festival Stage. This band was probably the crowd favorite for the smaller Festival stage, judging by all the moshing, jumping and screaming that was going on.

Shock rocker Rob Zombie brought the energy and most of his popular songs to the Main Stage of Pain In The Grass 2014. He started his performance with a blistering cover of “American Band” by Grand Funk Railroad and it only got better from there. Not much doubt in most people’s mind who stole the show on this incredible gorgeous late summer night.

Boston badass Sully Erna of Godsmack gave the Auburn audience what they wanted, as the veteran rockers played most of the hits and a few newer songs from their latest album. Midway through their smash hit “Keep Away” they went directly into a brief cover of Pantera’s metal anthem “Walk” that ignited and electrified the crowd.

Another Canadian band on the Pain In The Grass tour was Sons Of Revelry. Frontman Toby Black made it clear to the White River attendees that he and his band were grateful for the opportunity to share their unique brand of rock with them. They did not disappoint those that stood under the blazing sun to watch the band.

Jake Scherer from New Medicine belting out the vocals during the band’s high-octane set on the Festival Stage. This band from Minnesota has a unique sound blending elements of rock, metal, hip-hop and maybe a little reggae thrown in for good measure.

Museum of the Week: Foss Waterway Seaport

705 Dock St. Wed.-Sat., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, noon-4 p.m. Info: www.fosswaterwayseaport.org/ The mission of the Foss Waterway Seaport is to celebrate Tacoma’s rich maritime heritage past, present and future. Located on the waterfront in a century-old wooden wheat warehouse, built for cargo arriving by rail and departing by sail (“where rails met sails”) during the early years of Tacoma. The Foss Waterway Seaport is Puget Sound’s premier maritime heritage, education and event center where families, students and entire communities come to discover, explore, work and play. The development partners of this project, the Foss Waterway Seaport and the Foss Waterway Development Authority, are dedicated to creating a venue that will continue to bring the downtown waterfront to life as a place for everyone.

ROADSIDE ATTRACTION. Chandler O’Leary sketched iconic Paul

Bunyan and Babe the blue ox during a 2006 road trip through Minnesota. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma artist Chandler O’Leary is a woman on the move. She has made an indelible mark upon our City of Destiny. She did the oval, illustrated “droplets” on the new Waterwalk at the northern end of Ruston Way. She is the force behind the Tacoma Playing Cards. She is a fixture at the annual Wayzgoose festival; a maker of steamroller prints (along with her partner in crime Jessica Spring). Her work is currently on display as part of the “Ink This” exhibit at Tacoma Art Museum. She has twice been nominated for the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation’s Foundation of Art Award. She is the proprietor of her own letterpress print operation: Anagram Press. An exhibit of O’Leary’s work called “Drawn the Road Again” is currently on display at the Handforth Gallery (located inside the main branch of the Tacoma Public Library). The show consists of 30 illustrations done in watercolor and ink on sketchbook pages. They are like lively leaves from illuminated manuscripts. The brilliant color and playful images charm the eye. The illustrations are derived from sketchbooks that O’Leary kept during the course of road trips through the United States and Canada. She has a fondness for colossal objects, animals and statues; the kind of roadside

attractions that populated highways that meandered through the American landscape before the era of the Interstate freeway system (that is now punctuated with fast food restaurants and Wal-Mart Supercenters). These older monuments, the world’s largest frying pan, giant birds, big fish and folkloric figures, still exist out there off the beaten path, and O’Leary has been busy documenting them in all their kitschy majesty. The illustrations are accompanied by little notes and observations that give them a journalistic feel. Notes on an image of “The World’s Largest Ball of Twine” indicate that it is a “view from the car (because it is -21° F. out!).” Another note indicates that the figure in the scene is her “brave, bundled husband” who is there to provide a scale. A few of our local roadside attractions, like Bob’s Java Jive and the giant cowboy boots in Seattle, are present in the exhibit. The illustrations are the result of various trips taken between 2006 and 2014. They are arranged thematically rather than chronologically. The show of 30 illustrations is very professionally organized with each piece beautifully matted and framed. The exhibit had its genesis in a blog of the same title that O’Leary has kept thriving for a number of years. “Drawn the Road Again,” runs through Oct. 25. The artist’s reception is Oct. 16.

The Seaport is a proud supporter of this annual maritime tradition. Around 1875, Tacoma was christened the “City of Destiny,” when the Northern Pacific Railroad agreed to locate its western terminus within our fair city’s limits, near the deep waters of Commencement Bay. The rest, as they say, is history, as what followed created a boom of epic proportions and Tacoma truly became the place “when rails meet sails.” Our working waterfront continues to shape our community, and its innovations, ingenuity, and creativity has established Tacoma as a great maritime city. This year’s festival will host activities, music, and food for the entire family to experience. From the Tall Ships to Quick & Dirty Boat Building, to tours of the waterfont and lots of activities in the Kid’s Zone, there will be something for everyone. Admission, as always, is free. Each year a coalition of community organizers, sponsors, shipmates and talented Tacomans come together to create a festival celebrating the history and accomplishments of the Tacoma waterfront.

Seaport Exhibits: Peek into Our Attic and Share Our Dream

The Seaport is a place where stories are told with artifacts gathered on extended loan. Our hands-on activities blend the history of our region’s working waterfront with the science of Puget Sound’s waterways. Many of our new exhibits will be linked to schools’ social studies, history, science and economics curricula and state standards.

Balfour Dock Building Exhibit

Our building is the last remaining intact section of a continuous heavy timber frame warehouse that defined Tacoma’s waterfront for almost a century. The Balfour Dock Building Exhibit is a key exhibit in our permanent collection. The exhibit showcases the history of our building complete with a piece of the heavy timber truss that supported the original wharf. Learn more about our building’s history while viewing this amazing structure.

Is Katy Perry the new queen of pop?

A full house Saturday at the Tacoma Dome seemed to think so

PHOTO BY BILL BUNGARD

POP PRINCESS. Katy Perry poured on the spectacle last Saturday night at the Tacoma Dome. Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Miley Cyrus made her bid to become the next Queen of Pop early this year, as she brought her raunchy and hilariously bizarre Bangerz tour to the Tacoma Dome. But chronic twerking is sooooooo seven months ago; and when Katy Perry took over the Dome with her own title-contending Prism Tour on Saturday, she took a less gaudy and more wholesome approach than her pop predecessor. That’s relatively speaking, of course. Perry’s lyrics contain some innuendo, and there were twerky moments on Saturday, not to mention the bubble-butt mummies that jiggled goofy, prosthetic moneymakers during the singer’s breakthrough hit, “I Kissed a Girl.� But Perry’s presentation was vastly more age appropriate to the core demographic she shares with Cyrus: preteen girls. Many showed up to the sold-out concert decked out in blue wigs, tiger-striped hoodies and ancient Egyptian garb, quirky ensembles inspired by the singer’s videos. After a rumbling intro, the show got started with Perry’s catchy if cliche-packed anthem, “Roar.� Dancers with glowing spears and headdresses moved into place as a steaming prism closed then re-opened to reveal the woman of the hour, rising out of the stage wearing a dress with glow-in-the dark highlights. “Seaaaaaaaaaaaattttlle!!� she screamed, whipping fans into a frenzy. (Oh no! She’s gonna be one of those. But, to be fair, when she steps off the tour bus she can probably barely tell Tacoma – a town 35 miles from where she thought she was - from Tampa.) Perry’s vocals sounded great, especially on inspiring

DaVinci Salon and Spa

ballads “Unconditionally� and “By the Grace of God,� which showed up during the semi-acoustic portion of the set; that is, as much as you can believe any pop singer is performing 100-percent live these days, (and I was watching her lips pretty closely. Thanks, Beyonce inauguration performance.) But when it comes to dancing, she doesn’t have moves like Lady Gaga or Britney Spears (not even listless, comeback Britney.) And whereas Cyrus hides her stiffness by being overtly sexual, Perry utilizes stripped down choreography - tailored to her ability to strut around and fake it with a simple move here and there - along with some nice frills and special effects. Perry and her dancers roamed a v-shaped catwalk that enclosed fans in the best seats, and a series of conveyor belts allowed them to glide and spin in place as they went, an effect that made its debut on “Part of Me.� The singer rode a giant, puppet stallion during “Dark Horse,� her hip-hop flavored hit with Juicy J. She grew to 15 feet tall, adorned in a puffy, black-and-white, yin-yang dress during “It Takes Two.� And occasionally she got wired and took flight, air-walking over a flowing, cloudcovered tarp on “Walking on Air� and later soaring over the floor seats again as heart- and star-shaped confetti showered down on fans towards the end of “Birthday.� (One lucky birthday girl got pulled out of the crowd to watch that last one from a throne onstage, one of several endearing fan interactions.) But Perry saved the best effect for last, a robotic voice intoning “it’s time for prism vision� before the singer came back for her final encore. That was the cue for fans to put on flimsy, cardboard shades they had gotten before she show. Using them added a hazy, kaleidoscopic effect

to the lasers and pyrotechnic bursts that enhanced Perry’s final number, “Firework.� It was a fun touch. Normally, concert-goers have to down a couple of “magic� brownies to have that sort of concert experience. Opener Ferras went on earlier than the 7:30 p.m. start time listed on tickets, but I arrived in time to catch Canadian twin sister act, Tegan and Sara. I hadn’t followed them closely for a while and was pretty shocked at how far down the pop spectrum they had wandered since I last saw them (at KNDD-FM’s Endfest, I think.) Then they were seen as more serious, indie-folk types, and I blamed the duo for that mullet-bowl cut that every female hipster on Capitol Hill seemed to be wearing a few summers ago. In the interim, they’ve written material for the likes of “Call Me Maybe� singer Carly Rae Jepsen, and by the time they got to “Everything is Awesome� - their confectionary track with the Lonely Island from “The Lego Movie� - it was obvious this was not remotely the same band I remember. “We were in what a lot of people consider an indie-rock band, and then we made this record,� the duo’s more vocal half, Tegan Quin, acknowledged, referring to last year’s poppy “Hearthrob� album. It’s a shocking transformation, for sure; but I’m not mad at you, Tegan and Sara.

MYSTERY. Ernest Heller as MacKenzie from Lakewood Playhouse’s production of Agatha Christie’s “And then There Were None� By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

There is good reason that plays based on Agatha Christie’s murder mysteries have been bread-andbutter shows for community theaters for decades. They were well known and well crafted whodunnit yarns that are set in far off lands and contain colorful characters with hidden pasts. Audiences dissect everything characters say or don’t say, do or don’t do in often fruitless efforts to determine who is the hidden killer before the final scene reveals all. Such is the case with Lakewood Playhouse’s staging of “And Then There Were None,� the theatrical version of Christie’s novel “Ten Little Indians.� The setting and storyline have become cliques of the mystery genre. A gathering of strangers have been mysteriously invited to a manor house on an isolated island. Their unseen host, U. N. Owen, as in unkown, then sets out to take revenge on each of the guests, dropping them one by one by following the lines of a poem as a storm plays out and cuts them off from rescue. Each death brings more details about the dark secrets each remaining survivor hides. Then – boom – the plot twists.

The murderer is caught. The curtain drops. Directed by Rick Horner, a retired head of the Theatre Department of Whitworth University who is making his Lakewood debut, the play’s staging is a simple thrust stage of the English lodge’s living room. There is nothing remarkable or intrusive about the staging, lights or properties, so the script can center on the words rather than the environs. It’s a good thing then that the script is handed over to a solid cast of actors to bring them to life. Notable among them are: Curtis Beech, Matt Garry, Michael Dresdner, Ernest Heller, Xander Layden and Christian Carvajal, all who have trod Lakewood’s stage several times in recent years. Newbies to Lakewood include Jane McKittrick, Darrel Shiley, Julie Seibold and Amanda Stevens. Overall the show is solid, but not overwhelmingly wonderful. But that is often to be expected of a Christie play, fun but not particularly memorable if played safely. There aren’t a lot of theatrical risk taking moments in the script, and none were added to the show. What is left is a formulaic murder mystery that avid theater goers have seen dozens of times before. The scene is set.

The characters are introduced. The plot forms. One scene reveals everyone’s secrets. People are creatively killed one by one. The murderer reveals the master plan. The curtain falls. The English accents are spotty but not overly distracting. The acting is believable but not wowcausing. But any Tonywinning performances by single actors would have overpowered the essemble, likely required massive script changes and large leaps of theatrical faith. That’s the biggest issue with this staging of this script at this time as Lakewood’s 76th season opener. There aren’t risk-taking moments in the show. Sure, doing so could have destroyed a proven formula, but sometimes even landmark cookie recipes need revision with added chocolate chips or cinnamon. “And Then There Were None� performs at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through Oct. 12, with a pay-what-you-can showing at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25. Tickets are $19 to $25. Call(253)588-0042 or visit www.lakewoodplayhouse. org for more information.

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Focus your energy on having a good time while getting your work done. Unfinished projects that linger hamper future success. The New Moon on the 23rd highlights change in all aspects of your life with some being positive and others difficult but necessary.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) It’s time to get straight that offensive or annoying problem that has been eating at you. Be polite and kind as you plead your case, allowing the facts to clear your case. Others have been feeling the same way and will graciously thank you for it. Be the hero.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) This week’s New Moon will start an important chain of events that will bring lots of changes in all aspects of your life. Most of these are positive but you may feel a bit unsettled. Don’t worry – take each step one at a time, appreciate this gift and go with the flow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You may choose to stay behind the scenes during this week’s New Moon. Private thoughts and projects may occupy your time. Read that book you have been holding on to for a while or go see a movie in 3D. The more life we experience helps to expand our thoughts and beliefs.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) You could meet a lot of fascinating people during this week’s New Moon. Sparkling conversations lead to deep discussions. Listen intently, asking polite questions. We all have our viewpoints and sharing these concepts may lead to expanding our thoughts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Start off the autumn season in good spirits, as this week’s New Moon shines on your work and social sector. The happier you are as an individual the happier those are around you. Give someone a deserving compliment, treat someone to lunch or do something special. Smile!

CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) A guest may help you find the solution to a problem in a casual way. Pay attention or it may slip you by. This week’s New Moon highlights your home life. Spoil your partner with the attention they crave by doing lots of small and thoughtful gestures. Give hugs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) It is not always your fault, as others may be to blame for mistakes at work. Coworkers may not have your work ethic and attention to detail. This week’s New Moon encourages you to release your tensions in healthy ways and to learn to not take things too seriously. Relax!

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) People may go out of their way to make friends or be around you this week during the New Moon on the 23rd. You enjoy the limelight, but don’t be fooled by imposters. Someone may have ulterior motives and could try to turn your words against you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) You may learn many new and useful things during this week’s influence of this powerful New Moon. New insights and intuitive thoughts may rush over you. Take note of these, as they will be useful in the weeks to come. People’s negative attitudes are gradually changing. Be free.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Peace and quiet surround you during this week’s New Moon. This will allow you to ground yourself and guide you on a less scattered path. Financial issues begin to be resolved. If you are owed money or waiting for a loan it should go through soon. Think positively.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Making peace with family members, coworkers and partners is your focus this week.The New Moon guides you to release your pride, ultimately allowing healing of old wounds. The lines of communication are fully open. Take advantage of this by burying that hatchet. Forgive and forget.

This week’s Featured Kitty is a wonderful girl who is sure to put a smile on your face every day! Izzy is a beautiful green-eyed 7 year old spayed Tortie Tabby with a standout personality. This little lady loves attention and isn’t afraid to show it! She will be happy to greet you at your feet after a long day and will join you on the couch for some good relaxation. Have other pet’s in your home already? Not to worry! With a slow introduction, Izzy would seem to do well with other cats and dogs. She does tend to have somewhat of a dominate personality, but that will most likely fade away as she gets comfortable in her new home. Don’t miss out on your chance to make this pretty girl yours forever! Reference #A447200
