POT SALES COMING TO A CORNER STORE NEAR YOU COUNTY TO HAVE 31 SHOPS, EIGHT IN TACOMA

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

While marijuana retail stores will appear around the state next fall, illegal “street sales� won’t likely disappear because of the overlapping layers of laws and

jurisdictions. The Washington State Liquor Control Board released its draft rules on licensing and locating retail marijuana stores around the state, following the passage of Initiative 502 that legalized recreational use of marijuana.

WHAT’S RIGHT WITH TACOMA

PRICES EXPECTED TO MATCH ‘STREET SALES’

The draft rules are set to be approved Oct. 16, with the board starting to accept license applications on Nov. 18. “These rules fulfill the public expectation of creating a tightly-regulated and controlled system while providing reason-

able access to participation in the market,� said Liquor Control Board Chair Sharon Foster. Some 334 retail stores will be allowed around the state, with cities and counties being allotted set numbers based on their population and projected cus-

Ĺł

tomer bases. “We wanted to give the most populated cities the largest share,� liquor board spokesman Brian Smith said. Pierce County will have 31 retail marijuana stores X See POT / page A5

By Kathleen Merryman Tacoma Police Department activated its Child Abduction Response (CART) Team in Northeast Tacoma Sept. 12 in pursuit of national certification with the United States Department of Justice. If it wins that certification, it will be the 20th in the nation to do so. For just over five hours, while evaluators graded them, they worked through a mock kidnapping, activating every task and resource they have coordinated over the past six years. Pattie Bastian was thrilled. “I’m excited. This is fabulous. I’m so proud of Tacoma,� she said as she watched officers turn information into action at the command post set up at Norpoint Centre. She was observing tools, resources and procedures that did not exist

when her daughter, Jennifer, was snatched from her bicycle in Point Defiance and murdered in August 1986. Though officers have DNA evidence that indicates the man who killed Jennifer also murdered Michella Welch in March 1986, they have not caught him. Those murders are two of 16 reasons that Tacoma Police officers, led by Det. Lindsey Wade and Lt . Rob Jepson, developed CART. “We have had 16 child abductions since 1961,� Wade said. “That’s a lot. Most police agencies will never have a child abduction. Studies show that there will be one to 200 child abductions a year across all of the U.S.A., and 60 to 150 victims are murdered.� Statistics also show that a rapid response is the child’s best hope. “There’s a three to four hour window,� said Loretta Cool, police public information officer. “This is the big stat: 76 percent X See ABDUCTION / page A5

O’Neal of the Sons of the Revolution congratulated Lois Forbes of Silverdale on her redribbon-winning pie. By Kathleen Merryman Kathleen@tacomaweekly.com

Lois Forbes’ pies do not merely taste good. They do good, too. That they taste wonderful is a matter of record, and that record is framed in her kitchen. It is a corkboard on which she displays the ribbons she’s won in baking contests over the years. It is a big corkboard, and it will get more crowded when Forbes adds the red ribbon she won at Washington State Fair’s fruit pie competition Sept. 16. The contest is a marvel of deliciousness, innovation and precision. Crusts must be tender, flaky, golden-to-brown, not too chunky around the edges and just an eighth of an inch thick. And the bottoms can’t be soggy, either. The fruit must be plump, hold its shape and nestle in juices that are not too thick and not too runny. Though the classics delight judges, a bit of invention earns extra points. Dried cherries putting the crunch in a raspberry pie. Cointreau and peaches with blackberries, or rhubarb with blueberries. Almonds with three types of berries. They’re magic you might not be able to identify without reading the recipe. That recipe, of course, must conform to proper style, just as the pie itself must conform to the proper size. It must be eight inches across, or it

2nd and ‘I’ 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 road riddled with holiness, 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.

Some cars are just beautiful and inspired. One of those cars is the 1958 Ford Skyliner Retractable that the LeMay Collection took on donation from Barbara Birt. She called the car “Poptop.� The vehicle was assessed by Collection Management volunteers and restored to working condition before it was sold to fund future acquisitions. Ford crafted the Skyliner from 1957 through 1959, making it the first retractable hardtop to be mass produced. The top was driven by electric motors that included gears that opened the trunk lid so the hardtop could fold into a package in the trunk. The top sequences through each motion controlled by solenoids, micro-switches, and motors, and is operated with one switch located at the left side of the steering column. It electrical engineering was a marvel of the time.

The Skyliner had a complex mechanism which folded the front of the roof and retracted it under the rear deck lid. It had three roof motors driving four lift jacks, four door-lock motors, 10 solenoids, four locking mechanisms for the roof and a total of 610 feet of wiring. The large top took up vast amounts

That’s just common sense.� Nearly 41,000 Tacoma workers – or 41 percent of the workforce – have no access to paid sick leave. That’s about the national average. Childcare workers, restaurant staff and elderly caregivers are the least likely to receive paid sick days. Andrew Wright, co-director of GI-Voice and an Iraq war veteran, shared how paid sick days profoundly impacts local veterans. “Paid sick days are about getting better – as an Iraq veteran I understand how hard that is to do. After returning from the war, I was faced with trying to manage treatment for PTSD while holding down a civilian job. It’s nearly impossible to manage doctors and VA appointments when your employer provides no paid sick leave. For our service men and women, paid sick days can literally save lives.� Local business owner Terry Hayes says he already provides paid sick time for his employees, and it’s actually helped his bottom line. “I fully support a citywide ordinance on paid leave,� said Hayes, who owns Dowd’s BBQ. “Paid sick leave betters my business with higher employee productivity, lower turnover, less absenteeism and higher employee morale.� State Representative David Sawyer pointed out that Tacoma voters overwhelmingly support the proposed ordinance: “It’s time for City Council to stand with the two-thirds of Tacoma voters that support paid sick days and take action on a paid leave ordinance that supports Tacoma’s workers and strengthens our economy.� Healthy Tacoma is a coalition of more than 30 groups representing communities of color, labor, small business, civic, and faith organizations working to pass a citywide ordinance on Paid Sick Days and Safe Time for Tacoma workers and their families.

More than 500 participants have already pre-registered at Downtowntodefiance.com for the event, which is sponsored in part by US Bank. The event marks the opening of Metro Parks Tacoma’s new interim trail that links Ruston Way to Point Defiance Park. The interim trail will serve as a temporary connection for non-motorized access to the park, as Metro Parks develops a permanent Point Defiance trailhead and pedestrian-friendly entry from the waterfront to the park over the next two years. The connection, even in temporary form, is a big step for the community. Trail users will be able to access nationally renowned Point Defiance Park via a waterfront trail network for the first time. “Tacoma has an amazing but somewhat underutilized waterfront so I encourage all of our residents to get active, take part in this event and see this incredible asset for themselvesâ€?, said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. Participants are encouraged to gather at the Tacoma Dome plaza at 7:30 a.m. for the inaugural parkways ride kickoff beginning at 8 a.m. Active rest stops at Thea’s Park, Dickman Mill Park and Marine Park feature opportunities along the route for participants to get creative, get in touch nature, get physical and have their “Passport to the Pointâ€? stamped to receive special offers at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum and the Point Defiance Marina Complex. Tacoma’s cycling shops will also offer repair services at each stop. In celebration of the opening of the Point Defiance interim trail, participants are invited to a festive celebration in the bowl from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. featuring live music, games, food vendors and the Point to Point kids ride which begins at 11 a.m. The first 1,500 participants to register for the event will receive a complimentary cinch pack. Register at Dometodefiance.com. Tacoma Wheelmen’s Bike Club (TWBC) will host two long distance Club rides, which will depart through the Dome to Defiance footprint at 8 a.m. and continue on for 25 and 45-mile rides along the Scott Pierson Trail and across the Narrows Bridge to Gig Harbor.

We are in a period of hard times and this demands hard choices and hard work. The eco- PAUL PASTOR nomic recovery is very slow and this has prompted on-going cutbacks in the public sector. Pierce County government and the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department are certainly experiencing the impact. So what have we done in the Sheriff ’s Department? We have made staffing cuts and we have prioritized services, and we have consolidated efforts. We have dealt with hard times by making hard choices and doing hard work. Let me be clear. We are not doing more with less. But I am

proud to say that we work to do all we can with what we have. In the midst of hard times, we are showing some strong results despite real challenges in our highest priority areas. We continued to keep a handle on the county’s “Methademic.” We have a high clearance rate for difficult major crimes. We have reduced gang violence in the county. We have reduced drunk driving. We have used Crime Stoppers to arrest many violent criminals. We have introduced programs to stop abuse of the elderly and recover missing children. Another indicator of our hard work and hard choices is the dollar amount spent per person, per year on law enforcement services in unincorporated Pierce County. You can calculate this indicator by doing some long division. Take the total amount spent to provide police services in unin-

corporated areas in the course of a year: the costs of salaries and training and cars and equipment and insurance and everything else. Now divide that total cost figure by the total population residing in unincorporated County. And what is the cost of Pierce County Sheriff ’s Department services to the over 395,000 residents of unincorporated Pierce County? Over the past several years, it has varied between $129 and $141 per resident per year for law enforcement services. All of the other agencies in this area spend between $287 and $358 per resident per year. Again, $129 - $141 versus $287 - $358. This is one indicator of hard choices and hard work. It is a straightforward measure of relative efficiency that shows how we operate. Let me be clear. I am not

saying that we are doing all that I would prefer to do to prevent crime and arrest criminals. I would prefer to work more burglary and theft and fraud cases and provide more traffic enforcement and more community policing. I want to do more. But in the face of hard economic times, we make hard choices because resources are limited. Now, I am not saying that we have achieved perfect efficiency. But we really are doing a great deal with the resources we are given. And we have been doing this for some time. So, when you compare the cost of services, we are delivering a lot of product and we are showing some very solid results at a very low cost. I am proud of the hard work our people do and their willingness to step up to hard choices. I know and you know that resources are very limited.

The trickledown of the decision by Tacoma and Lakewood officials to shift smalltime criminal suspects from Pierce County Jail to the lessexpensive Fife jail system has jumped from empty jail cells to budget sheets. Jail operations are $5 million over budget this year, and it will likely get worse next year. Budget projections put that gap at about $6.5 million. The county budget was approved on Tuesday. It trims the jail’s budget by 5.7 percent, from $52.5 million. About $2 million of the cut will be covered by reserve accounts and sales tax revenue. About $3 million in cuts and the layoffs of 16 corrections officers and the demoting of four others covers the rest. How next year’s $6.5 million projected shortfall will be backfilled remains unknown. But the direction

=(*(5*@ Pierce County Jail opened in 2003 with a capacity for 1,700 inmates. It now has about 1,100. It was staffed for 1,400 and will be downsized for about 1,200 inmates with the layoffs of about 16 corrections officers. seems clear. “We need to resize the operation,” Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy said. To understand the issue, some history is in order.

The 1,700-bed jail opened in 2003 and was funded by a 1999 voter-approved bond. It was built because the existing county jail was overcrowded and under a federal order to

improve living conditions for inmates. The jail had 400 corrections officers and other workers around its peak in 2008 and has shrunk to 364 on its payroll in 2013. The 10-year-old federal decree that set staffing and living conditions concerning everything from medical care and sleeping conditions ended last year. The jail’s average inmate population, down from about 1,400 to about 1,100 this year, is due largely to the loss of misdemeanor inmates from Tacoma and Lakewood, as well as a 30-percent drop in crime rates in Pierce County since 2010. Those factors mean bookings at the Pierce County facility have dropped by about half. Staffing changes haven’t kept up with that shrinkage, however, McCarthy said. The staffing level after the layoff is set at an inmate population of about 1,200. The loss of the jail’s biggest X See JAIL / page A4

The theme this week involves the tips about what not to do when running from police. The first tip is to not commit a crime to start with, but that goes without saying. The second tip is to not run. This week’s offerings of stupid criminal didn’t follow either of those tips. Two officers were patrolling in their roller around East 66th Street on Sept. 13 and spotted two men apparently working on the engine of a car that had stopped along the side of the road. The officers pulled over to offer assistance. One of the men got into the passenger’s seat when the officers arrived. The remaining man said he had the car repair under control, so the officers drove off. They then returned after realizing the passenger had an outstanding warrant. When the officers returned, the man flew from the passenger’s seat and jumped a fence. “It appeared to me that he was intentionally attempting to avoid arrest and contact by police,” the officer wrote in the incident report. The man eluded police, even a police tracking dog. The officers then continued their patrol, only to see the same two men in the same car driving a few blocks away. They pulled the car over and arrested the man with outstanding warrants. The driver turned out to be the man’s brother, who said he wanted his brother arrested and booked into jail so he could get some sort of treatment for his drug addiction.

Danica Sterud Miller is fulfilling her lifelong goal of teaching literature at the college level By Kate Burrows kate@tacomaweekly.com

For as long as she can remember, Danica Sterud Miller has wanted to be a “teacher of books� at the university level. In fact, the voracious reader knew little of what it meant to become a professor when she first set the goal in fourth grade. But she kept her eyes on the prize and after more than 10 years pursuing her Masters degree and doctorate – all while raising a family and teaching at East Coast colleges – she has officially made her dream a reality, and then some. “I do not even know where the idea came from,� she laughed. “I didn’t even know anything about teaching at the college level, but I guess it was always a love of reading that kept me on the right path.� Danica earned her Ph.D. in English Literature in July from Fordham University in Bronx, NY. After teaching at private language schools throughout Europe for several years, she dove full speed ahead into her academic career, teaching courses in literature, composition and rhetoric and film. Many courses feature Native American authors, filmmakers and more. “The Empowering Communities Changing Lives

Native American literature field is expanding, but there is still a lot of work to be done,� she noted. Sterud Miller’s department chair even asked her to design a new course focused on Pacific Northwest tribes and their traditions. Although she was skeptical at first about how the course would be received by students on the East Coast, so far removed from the northwest, she was pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest. “The class was completely full, and students were eager to learn more about northwest tribes,� she said. She has taught at the University of Connecticut and Fordham University, as well as Western Washington University as a teaching assistant. Sterud Miller especially thanks the Puyallup Tribal Council as well as its Higher Education Department for supporting her throughout her 14 years of higher education to get to where she is today. “The Tribe is always there for me, and I know there are so many amazing things they have done in the past and this is only one small thing – but it has been an incredible, life-changing experience for me,� she said. “I hope to one day give back to the Tribe in some way.�

“customers� to nearby Fife has prompted county officials to seek ways to operate the jail differently, largely by it landing new jail contracts, having it serve a regional role as well as seeking potential legislative shift that could change reimbursement rates from outside agencies. Washington State Patrol, for example, doesn’t pay anything when its troopers arrest suspects for offenses along Pierce County’s stretch of Interstate 5. The State Department of Corrections pays a flat $65 a day for housing its inmates at the jail but doesn’t cover any medical treatments the county is required to provide. None of these fixes could avoid cuts, at least this year. “None of those strategies could be implemented in time,� McCarthy said. “It is going to take time to do that.� A study of jail options is underway, with a report expected in October.

Pierce County isn’t alone with jailhouse blues either, as King County and Thurston County also have shortfalls. They, too, built new jails and have more beds than inmates to fill them, creating budget shortfalls. Thurston County’s new jail has been mothballed without opening, for example, until demand warrants the new space. Counties around the state responded to rising populations and higher crime rates by building new jails. Then everything changed. Crime rates dropped. Home “house arrest� monitoring became more popular and government budgets shrunk. Lakewood stopped sending misdemeanor criminals to Pierce County Jail in 2009. It now uses facilities in Fife and Puyallup and the Nisqually Reservation. Tacoma followed suit earlier this year. Both now send their low-level criminals to Fife because it charges less. Bookings into Fife jail cost just $20 compared to $225 at the county facility. Daily stays cost $65 compared to $85 in Pierce County, although its fees include medical reviews not covered by Fife’s fee. Fife actually doesn’t really house many inmates at all.

“We are more of a receiving center,� Fife Police Chief Brad Blackburn said. The Fife jail opened in 1997, and was first just used as a short-term holding facility for inmates attending Fife Municipal Court until 2001, when it became a fully operational correctional facility. It now has contracts with Algona, Black Diamond, Lakewood, Milton, Des Moines, Pacific, Steilacoom, Bonney Lake, Roy, Ruston, Normandy Park, Tacoma and Eatonville. Since Fife only has 35 beds, it sends inmates to jails across the mountains in Yakima, Sunnyside and Wapato, as well as South Correctional Entity, a jail for low-level inmates in Des Moines that opened in 2011. Washington State Department of Corrections also contracts with Fife for some beds. The jail agreements with small cities and agencies were Fife’s response to a $600,000 shortfall in the jail budget last year. Other options even included talk about closing the jail. But the math worked out with a collection of jail contracts. The budget is in the black, but caused red lines in Pierce County’s jail budget.

Food forest to be built in Swan Creek Park Picture a network of parks throughout Tacoma and Pierce County where trees, shrubs and perennials produce healthy, nutritious, low-maintenance food for the community. Local gardeners and farmers have examined how forest science can affect how we grow food. Now a coalition of local agencies and citizens is working to create its own “food forest� on one acre in Swan Creek Park that will provide free food to anyone who visits. A successful outcome will lead to more edible food forests with low-maintenance, easily accessible, healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetable. This plan will change our community’s culture around food, much in the way that Community Gardens have

transformed our local landscapes. The Food Forest will be located near the existing Community Garden off Roosevelt Road at East 42nd Street. Participants at the meeting are invited to share ideas with the planning team of what they would like to see in this edible forest garden. Volunteers have multiple options for involvement – helping to plan the project, designing the space, clearing brush to prepare the space, planting trees and plants, participating in the stewardship of the site, or simply just picking fruits and vegetables to eat. The first community-wide planning meeting will be held at Lister Elementary School (2106 E. 44th St.), on Sept. 24 at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided, and the

event planners hope to have translators present in multiple languages. Work on this project is sponsored by the Pierce Conservation District, and includes partners from Metro Parks Tacoma, The Greater Metro Parks Foundation, The Pierce County Gleaning Project, Emergency Food Network, St. Leo Food Connection, members of Tacoma’s City Council, Northwest Leadership Foundation, Catholic Community Services, and multiple permaculture experts. Participation from the entire community is welcome. For more information, contact Micaela Cooley at micaelac@piercecountycd.org or call (253) 306-3457.

W Abduction

The first officer on the scene talked with the “witness,� a neighborhood volunteer in a green vest. “It’s sounding like it’s a legitimate deal,� he reported to headquarters, and asked that CART be activated. Officers responded to the park, located the girl’s mother, began knocking on doors, stringing yellow police tape around the scene and processing evidence, from the backpack to gum, to footprints in the dewy grass. Meanwhile, the command center activated an AMBER Alert and began using all the information coming in on the description of the man and the vehicle to search databases. The department set up the command center at Norpoint Centre, where they interviewed witnesses, took calls and tips and assembled the SWAT team. That’s where a woman came by to say she was walking in Julia’s Gulch overlooking Commencement Bay when she saw a man walking with a teen. It didn’t look right, she said. Then, driving home, she heard the AMBER Alert and realized the two matched the description. The drill shifted to the steep, wooded gulch, which was shut off until tracking dogs arrived, followed by King County Sheriff ’s Officer Kathy Decker. Decker is a certified Man Tracker and is able to read trails in grass, dirt and brush. She identified footsteps that pointed the searchers down a steep path. On it, Ellie, a search dog owned by Bruce Cheshier, sniffed out the kidnapper’s red shirt. That’s when another AMBER Alert caller reported that the kidnap-

per’s vehicle had turned onto a side road off Marine View Drive. Team members, including volunteer Sheriff ’s Department Explorers stayed at the gulch to look for evidence. The side road led to the police firing range, where the SWAT team members disabled the kidnapper’s car, searched the woods and rescued the girl. Taken by ambulance to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital for medical evaluation, the teen and her family also were connected to services and counseling at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Pierce County. The suspect came out of the woods on his own and was put in custody. With that, participants headed for the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management for a debriefing called a “Hot Wash.� The assessors liked what they saw, Cool said. “They told us, ‘You guys are head and shoulders above other teams.’ The chief assessor, who has been at the previous 19 tests, said we’re the best he’s seen and he’s going to recommend certification,� Cool said. Theresa Lewis and John Meeker had spent the day as observers with Bastian. They, too, lost daughters, Teekah Lewis and Angela Meeker, to kidnappers who have never been found. They, too, wished that CART and all the internet and social media resources it employs, had existed for their children. They, too, are grateful, they said, that Tacoma has invested in its CART. Now, they, too, expect it to save lives.

of the time they are killed within three hours,� Wade said. Without a CART plan, it can take two to three hours just to gather a team. With CART, it took 15 minutes on Sept. 11. The day before the accreditation’s mock kidnapping, police responded to a 911 call reporting an abduction. The team was on the job in 15 minutes, just as it was in a previous case, Cool said. They were not waiting for orders. They were doing the jobs they had been assigned and trained to do as part of the mechanics of the team. Some were assessing the scene. Others were using incoming information to research data bases. “These are the things we need to do,� Cool said. “Assign a team from GO, instead of waiting for assignments that may be a different job than the one you trained for. We can shift our search almost instantaneously. With Twitter, Facebook, radio and reader boards, people are plugged in. They look at their phones, and they also look around and see things.� In the certification test, a walker in Heritage Park called 911 and said she had seen a teen sitting on a bench, waiting for a school bus with her backpack. A man got out of a blue, late-model SUV, talked with her for a few seconds, then pulled her into the vehicle.

countywide, with eight of them slated for Tacoma, two each for Puyallup and Lakewood and one each for Bonney Lake and University Place. The remaining 17 will be licensed around the rest of county and smaller towns. “There is nothing in I-502 that says communities can opt out,� Smith said, noting that cities with moratoria on marijuana sales and collective farms might face legal challenges if they attempt to outright ban retail shops from their borders. “There is potential for friction there.� Sales from retail stores are projected to make up about 13 percent of the total marijuana market in the state during the first year and up to 25 percent after that, making untaxed – and therefore illegal – sales the bulk of the market. The liquor board has penalties for licensed marijuana growers diverting the plants for illegal street sales of untaxed cannabis products, but private sales from unlicensed grow operations will remain a smoky legal area. The federal government, which still regards marijuana as an illegal drug, has stated it will not enforce federal laws in Washington. But the sale of untaxed marijuana in private, unlicensed sales would remain illegal. It falls under the same sort of laws as untaxed cigarettes or bootlegged liquor. While the liquor board will have enforcement officers, they will spend most of their time on regulating licensed operations. That largely leaves small-time street dealers with an open market of untaxed pot sales in competition with legal retail stores and a hodgepodge of local and state rules few law enforcement agencies are staffed to handle. “It’s kind of like this legal limbo,� Fife Police Chief Brad Blackburn said. “It’s like the old alcohol days.� State regulators hope the normalization of marijuana use will drive pot buyers to licensed retail stores rather than street-corner purchases, since the license shops will have quality controls not found at “dime bag� dealers. Even with the state tax on marijuana in licensed stores, prices are expected to be about $10 to $12 a gram. That is roughly the street prices on the illegal market, without the tight quality and production oversights.

WILSON TOPS FOSS IN SHOWCASE OF STATE SWIMMERS Falcons’ Chard adds two more statequalifying times

LIFE CHRISTIAN ROLLS TO WIN OVER SHORTHANDED CRUSADERS Lincoln blasts Stadium, Bellarmine Prep gets late dramatics

W

ith the recent problems of player turnout at Tacoma Baptist, head coach Mark Smith was already at a bit of a disadvantage heading into the Crusaders’ season opener – having cancelled a game against Charles Wright the week before. But in the end the bigger problem was the juggernaut Life Christian offense, which rolled to a 55-8 victory on Sept. 14 at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood. “We came back nicely after the La Conner loss (27-7 on Sept. 7) last week, and it gives us a bit of a boost when you look at our next two weeks with Charles Wright and Cascade Christian on the docket,” said first-year Life Christian coach Tim Kuykendall. Following Taylor Roelofs’ 60-yard touchdown run that started the scoring, Tacoma Baptist captured their only lead of the night at 8-7 after Elijah Kazarovich’s six-yard touchdown run. But the Eagles would make short work of the deficit when Roelofs completed a six-yard scoring pass to Chris Haley to give the Eagles the lead for good. Limited to just 30 players themselves, the Eagles took advantage of every opportunity given to them, and the multi-faceted talents of Roelofs took the Eagles to the easy win on the night. Roelofs, who went just 3-for-11 passing on the night, did the real damage with his feet as he carried 10 times for 111 yards and four touchdowns. “I can’t say enough about Taylor’s efforts tonight, he was incredible,” said Kuykendall. Knowing full well the advantage that he would have, Kuykendall decided he would take another approach in preparing his team for the game. “I wanted us to focus on just the strengths of our team and ultimately our own execution tonight,” said Kuykendall. The win for Life was also about the exploits of running back Lionel Hampton, who added a 60-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. “The defense set the tone right away and after giving up the early score they did a masterful job of shutting down the Baptist offense on the night,” Kuykendall said. Kuyendall’s next challenge will be a large one in the upcoming two weeks, as they will face Charles Wright and Cascade Christian back to back. “It will be tough for sure, but we’ll have to be up for the challenge in consecutive weeks X See FOOTBALL / page A9

Both Wilson’s depth and Foss’ star power had their chances to shine when the two swim squads squared off at the Falcons’ pool on Sept. 17, as the Rams won seven of 12 events to pull out a 120-54 team win. But Foss’ senior duo of Emma Chard and Sarah Sachs continued to show why they are two of the better swimmers in the city, as they won two events apiece. It was Chard who stole the show most against the Falcons, notching a state qualifying time of 2:11.40 in winning the 200-yard individual medley and winning the 100-yard breaststroke in a state time of 1:09.26. “She’s definitely at another level right now,” said Foss head coach Matt Wood, noting that Chard has been getting plenty of college attention. “For her to be swimming so well right off the bat is fun to see.” It was the fifth and sixth statequalifying times notched by Chard in just two dual meets so far this year, after finishing second in the 100-yard breaststroke and third in the 100-yard freestyle at the 3A state meet last year. She qualified in the 50-, 100-, 200and 500-freestyles in the Falcons’ first dual meet against Mount Tahoma. “She’s way ahead of (where she was) this time last year,” Wood said. “She’s swimming times comparable to

oming into the season, the Life Christian volleyball team knew that a repeat of their Nisqually 1A league title was not going to be easy. An early season test against Charles Wright proved that to be true, but the Eagles outlasted the Tarriers in four sets – 25-22, 17-25, 25-19, 25-14 – at home on Sept. 16 to avenge their only league loss last year. “We kind of struggled at the beginning,” said Life Christian senior setter Carly Normandeau, who led the Eagles with 23 assists. “We’re a slow-starting team, sort of. We really picked it up, and kind of proved ourselves from last year.” The Eagles shot out to an early 8-2

Furnit u

lead in the first game, but Charles Wright quickly charged back behind senior middle hitter Shelby Fisher. Fisher’s ace gave the Tarriers a late 18-17 lead, but Life Christian senior Johnnise Moore responded with two straight kills, and later closed out the game with an emphatic slam. The Tarriers fought back to claim the second game, going up 7-4 early on Fisher’s ace before Life Christian fought back for a momentary 9-8 lead on an ace by Kaitlyn Konsmo. But senior middle hitter Vanessa Davis and sophomore outside hitter Kaylee Kim helped the Tarriers regain control along with Fisher, as they built the lead to 19-13 on their way to tying up the match. Charles Wright hung tough throughout the third game, even with Moore, senior middle hitter Ashlee Hamilton and

junior outside hitter Maddy Long each displaying dominant overhand smashes for the Eagles. The Tarriers tied it 17-17 on a sideout, but the Eagles rattled off seven straight points as senior Jordan Youngblood had two straight aces and Long – who led the Eagles with nine kills – finished it off to regain the advantage. “They’re just much more disciplined this year, just with the way they’re meshing and playing together,” said Life Christian head coach Tracy King of her squad’s maturation. “It starts with my seniors, just with the unity they have.” Normandeau set the tone for the Eagles in the fourth game, collecting three of her team-high six aces in the first four points for an early 4-0 lead. Life Christian continued the momentum from there, as Kylie Burton extended it to 16-6 with

back-to-back kills, and Hamilton closed out the match with her sixth kill. Just as important as the Eagles’ offensive dominance was their defense, as Konsmo led the way with 38 digs, while Long tallied 15 digs and Moore finished with eight kills and 14 digs. Fisher led the Tarriers with 10 kills, six aces and two blocks. The win improved the Eagles to 2-0 in league play in the young season, while Charles Wright dropped to 2-1 in the Nisqually 1A. But Life Christian knows the adventure is just beginning. “It’s a great start to our season for sure,” said Normandeau. “We know we have to play hard no matter what throughout this whole season. It’s not going to be an easy win no matter what it is. We just have to prove ourselves on the court.”

The Lutes were led by junior quarterback Dalton Ritchey, who went 13-for-26 for 198 yards and two touchdowns with an interception, while adding 14 carries for 87 yards and two more scores. Ritchey got Pacific Lutheran on the board with a seven-yard touchdown run to tie it 7-7 early in the second quarter, and added a oneyard score early in the third quarter to give the Lutes a 17-7 lead. He connected with wide receiver Kyle Warner – who finished with six catches for 125 yards – on a 66-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to make it 24-14, but the Kingsmen stormed back to tie it on Sean Bellotti’s 42-yard field goal with 9:19 left in the game. Ritchey responded by driving the Lutes 83 yards in 10 plays, connecting with tight end Lucas Sontra for a sevenyard touchdown that gave Pacific Lutheran the lead for good. Brandon James had six carries for 85 yards for the Lutes – including a 55-yard scamper – while Niko Madison tallied 10 carries for 42 yards. But the Lutes were lucky in that they fumbled the ball five times in the game, only two of which were recovered by Cal Lutheran. Greg Hibbard and Jordan Patterson tallied eight tackles apiece for Pacific Lutheran, while Patterson added an interception and Joel Anthony had two of the Lutes’ six sacks on the afternoon. The Lutes return to action on Sept. 21 for their home opener, where they will host Redlands at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup at 12:30 p.m.

The Panthers took control early, scoring on five of six drives in the first half and taking a 34-0 lead at the break. They tallied 505 yards on the day – 259 rushing yards – and five different players scored a rush-

ing touchdown for Chapman. The Loggers finally struck after Max McGuinn recovered a fumbled punt at the Panthers’ 34-yard line early in the third quarter, and Braden Foley hit Bryson Calma for a five-yard touchdown seven plays later to make it 34-7. Foley finished 28-for-40 for 198 yards and two touchdowns. His other score capped a 12-play, 74-yard drive late in the third quarter, as he connected with Kevin Miller on a seven-yard strike to cut it to 44-14. Miller led the Loggers with 58 yards receiving on seven catches. But the Loggers’ defense was busy all day, as Brent McCoy led Puget Sound with 11 tackles in his college debut, while Roy Fuchigami, Connor Savage and Jacob Wuesthoff all added 10 tackles – with Wuesthoff also hauling in an interception. The Loggers hope to tally their first win in 20 games when they travel to California to take on Whittier on Sept. 21 at 1 p.m.

cer teams battled to a 1-1 draw on Sept. 14 on the PLU campus. The 13th-ranked Loggers brought most of the offensive pressure on the afternoon, but it was the Lutes that struck first in the 26th minute when Lauren Larson drove in a shot from 25 yards out. The equalizer came in the 45th minute for Puget Sound, as Jordyn McLuen scored to make it 1-1 at halftime. Neither team could break through in the second half – or the 20 minutes of extra time – despite the fact that the Loggers outshot the Lutes 28-5 in the game, putting 10 of those shots on target. But PLU keeper Takara Mitsui made five saves, while Marisa Gonzalez added four saves to help the Lutes escape further damage. Puget Sound returns to action when they travel to Linfield on Sept. 21 at noon, while Pacific Lutheran travels to take on Pacific (Ore.) on Sept. 22 at noon.

In a renewal of the great football tradition that has featured many names from the past – including Dave Williams and Tim McDonough (Lincoln) and Sam Baker (Stadium) – the Lincoln Abes would celebrate their school centennial with a 62-0 win over the Stadium Tigers in a game that was never in doubt from start to finish on Sept. 14 at Lincoln Bowl. “We could not have played better on the defensive side of the ball,” said Abes head coach Jon Kitna. “It was a good win from that standpoint.” Jordan Kitna would ignite the Lincoln offense by throwing for 240 yards and three touchdowns, continuing his steady play on the young season. The Abes rolled up 377 yards of total offense, and got a lot of scoring help from their defense as well. “It was as dominating a defensive performance as I’ve seen in a while,” said Kitna of the performance by the Abe defense, which reached the endzone four times on the afternoon. Foremost among the Abes’ defenders was Rayshaun Miller, who scored on both sides of the ball to continue his stellar early season play for Lincoln. Entering week two of the season and cracking the 3A rankings last week at No. 10, the Abes have their sights set on a higher goal – the Narrows League title and a trip to the state playoffs. “Timberline and North Thurston are the teams to beat, but we cannot look ahead beyond one game at a time,” said Kitna. “That is a good way to lose focus.” Coming out of the locker room at halftime, the Lincoln defense would turn the Tigers back again, leaving Stadium head coach Jess Nelson applauding the Abes as well. “That was as good a defensive effort as I have seen in a while,” Nelson said. The Abes improved to 2-0 on the young season, with a homecoming date against Mount Tahoma on Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. at Lincoln Bowl. Stadium will look to rebound in their Narrows 4A opener at Yelm on Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. By Steve Mullen

After struggling offensively in the early going against Lakes, Bellarmine Prep turned to the smallest player on the field when it mattered most. And Nathan Goltermann delivered.

The junior running back – standing at just 5-foot-4 and weighing 122 pounds – carried nine times for 38 yards on the Lions’ final drive to set up Matthew Philichi’s game-winning field goal to give Bellarmine Prep a 16-14 win over the Lancers on Sept. 13 at Harry Lang Stadium. “That’s (my) first time being in that situation,” said Goltermann, who finished with 23 carries for 118 yards. “It’s really hard, but if you keep pushing through you’ll come out on top. That’s what I did… my running back coach just tells me to believe in myself and have faith.” Lakes dominated the first half, but held a slim 7-0 lead at the break on Caleb Lyons’ six-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter. The Lancers turned the ball over on downs at the Lions’ 26-yard line on their first drive of the game, and fumbled at Bellarmine’s five-yard line on their next possession. Philichi had a chance to put the Lions on the board midway through the second quarter, but his 43-yard field goal sailed just left. Lakes then stormed 77 yards in seven plays, but were stopped short on fourth-and-goal, denying them a chance to go up by two scores at the break. The Lancers finally added their second touchdown early in the second half, as Xzavier Weston scored on a 26-yard run to cap a 10-play, 86-yard drive. But Goltermann answered with a nine-yard touchdown for the Lions four plays later, after quarterback Lou Millie hit Drew Griffin for a 50-yard completion on 3rd-and-8 to keep the drive alive. Goltermann added a key 29-yard scamper on the Lions’ next possession, setting up Millie’s one-yard touchdown seven plays later. “He’s a tough kid,” said Bellarmine Prep head coach Tom Larsen of Goltermann. “He’s so small and slippery, slick and quick. He gets the job done. I’m proud of him.” But the extra point was botched, leaving the Lions down 14-13. After Lyons – who led Lakes with 16 carries for 89 yards – returned the ensuing kickoff to Bellarmine’s 26-yard line, the Lions’ defense stood firm, as Garrett Letts and Nick Dionas came up with back-to-back clutch tackles to snuff out the Lancers’ threat. That set up the final drive, fueled by Goltermann and finished by Philichi’s game-winning boot from 33 yards out with just over a minute remaining. “I didn’t really expect the game to come down to a kick, because I believe in our team,” Philichi said. “But I was prepared.” Bellarmine quickly ended Lakes’ final chance when Letts intercepted Kemonee Jenkins on the first play of the next drive.

For 30-plus years, Forbes has been playing by the fruit pie rules, and winning with them, sometimes with apples, sometimes with stone fruits. The contest switches fruits each year. This year, it called for berries. Forbes went wild, picking her own huckleberries and blueberries and buying little wild blackberries from a forager friend. Early on in the pie game, when she was a mom and a nurse and a volunteer and serial baker in Silverdale, she found a source of inspiration at the pie contest. “One year, an 82-year-old lady won, and I thought,

‘Wow,’� she said. “Now I’m romancing 90.� Actually, she is a mere 86. She bakes pies for friends, pies for family, pies for bands of scouts and hikers. “I love cooking pies,� she said. And she loves doing good for others. She belongs to a nurses’ guild that raises money for Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, and bakes pies for auctions. In Silverdale, she donates a pie a month to be auctioned off for the Central Kitsap Food Bank. “I can still have the fun of doing pies, and it goes for a good cause,� she said. Pies, after all, are the currency of the gods, and the exchange rate on Lois Forbes’ transforms them into hundreds of dollars of community capital.

TWO-DAY MUSIC FEST TO SHOWCASE SOME OF SOUTH SOUND’S MOST BUZZ-WORTHY BANDS THIS WEEKEND AT LOUIE G’S

Since 2010, Louie G’s Pizza in Fife has served as an incubator and proving ground for local rock talent. And, this weekend, owner Louie Galarza will put on his second annual Dreamfest to showcase promising young bands that have cut their teeth at his club, along with a few familiar fixtures of South Sound rock. Based on last year’s attendance, a crowd of 800 to 1,000 is expected to turn out Saturday and Sunday to check out headliners Windowpane and Randy Hansen, along with a supporting cast that includes the Fame Riot, Riot in Rhythm, Amadon, Nolan Garrett and C-Leb & the Kettle Black, among nearly two dozen buzz-worthy acts. “I got the best bands that I knew of, the bands that come in here and that actually do their work and put on a great show,” said Galarza. “If you’ve ever seen my place, it’s set up for these kids to get better, get productive and get to work,” he said. Dreamfest is “a big production. We let them see what a real production is like. They get lanyards. Everything is completely by the book. It’s like playing a big arena show.”

Teenage rockers Jason Kertson and the Immortals have been honing their chops at Louie’s since they played their first show there two years ago. The band’s namesake said he’s especially stoked to get onstage Saturday.

“Louie’s is kind of the only place in Washington of its kind,” said singer-guitarist Jason Kertson, 16. “I think it’s mostly because Louie is such a caring guy,” he said. “He actually cares about the people,

helps the bands out and gives them advice. Pretty much anyone who wants to develop a fan base or just play a few shows can go to Louie G’s and request a spot on a bill.” Among the more established acts playing this weekend is Tacoma’s Ben Union, a band that will be playing its last show in Washington for the year. Ben Union plays all over the Northwest, and band leader Ben Mira (a.k.a. Ben Union) ranks Louie’s near the top of the venues his band headlines. “I have nothing but good things to say about Louie,” Mira said. “The stage is probably one of the biggest and best we’ve played as far as production goes. (Louie is) very generous. I think that he fills a hole in the Tacoma scene, the South Sound, as far as how he treats bands. But he makes the bands bring it, too. Because there’s not a lot of foot traffic in Fife, you have to work hard (to promote.) But the reward is a lot better.” A portion of Dreamfest proceeds benefit Everett’s Burned Children Recovery Foundation, a group that provides support for children who have been severely injured in fires. “They’re trying to buy a chunk of land up in Bellingham to have a camp, so we’re trying to raise money for them,” Galarza said. Music will start at 11 a.m. both days, and the event is open to all ages. Tickets are $20 per day with two-day VIP packages available for $50 to $60, all of which can be purchased online at www.brownpapertickets.com.

akewood Playhouse’s “Arsenic and Old Lace� seems to be the odd-play-out of sorts considering that the theater is marking its diamond anniversary with this comedic season opener. The rest of its season includes the allbut-guaranteed “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?� and “Monty Python’s SPAMALOT,� after all. So to stage such a go-to play like “Arsenic and Old Lace� is like a community theater staging any of the works of Agatha Christie. It might be a great show, but not something to get the pre-show buzz. The play is returning to the Lakewood Playhouse stage for the first time since 1997, which this reviewer remembers, so I might be a bit biased in that regard. I still have a copy of the review around my office somewhere. A three-act play repackaged in two acts, the first “half � logged in at an hour and a half, which caused some tight back muscles even in the theater’s new comfy chairs. That said, it was a fun show. But it was what it was. Anyone who has gone to stage performances for any length of time has seen the show, so it is a bit like hearing a great joke for the second or third or fourth time. The pack of the punch is mostly lost. But it did add a little something-something for folks who have sat

for the show before. Director Dale Westgaard pulled all the energy from his actors and channeled their efforts into a solidly funny and gag-filled dark comedy that was staged on one of the most extensively effective sets, designed by Amanda Sweger, to ever call Lakewood home. The costumes and props, by Alex Lewington and Virginia Yanoff, finished off the period piece’s authenticity. But as all shows, this one rests on the actors who bring the words on a page to life. And they certainly did that, and they did it well. The reluctant theater critic Mortimer Brewster (played by Jacob Tice) finds himself visiting his aunts Aby and Martha (Diana George and Rebecca Lea McCarthy). They just happen to have the habit of poisoning potential lodgers and visitors with elderberry wine and burying them in their basement. Toss in a brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt (Jeffery Weaver) and a psychotic hitman (Chris Cantrell) with a body in need of burial and the house gets filled with funny bits as well as corpses. “Arsenic and Old Lace� runs at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through Oct. 13. Tickets are $25 with student and military discounts. The theatre is located within the Lakewood Towne Center, 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd. Contact (253) 588-0042 or www.lakewoodplayhouse.org.

acoma meets Paris on Sept. 26 for Le DĂŽner en Blanc at Wright Park. Hosted by First Night Tacoma organizers, this novel and distinctly European event invites one and all to come dressed in as much white as you dare in the grand tradition of Le DĂŽner en Blanc founded 25 years ago. First Night board member and Tacoma artist Lynn Di Nino has been out and about generating buzz about the event. “People I’m running into are energized by the idea and planning their wardrobes,â€? she said. “Someone I know is planning on coming as a white statue. Sure, it can rain, but we’re used to the Northwest and can just party-on anyway.â€? Diane Hansen, a First Night board member, glass artist and owner of Bella Balls in downtown Tacoma, presented the idea to the First Night board. “We were looking for something fun and unusual that Tacomans could get behind,â€? she said. “I had been in San Francisco driving around seeing all these people dressed in white and carrying picnic baskets and candlesticks.â€? She turned to the Internet to find out what was going on and was taken with the whole Le DĂŽner en Blanc concept. Hansen and Di Nino called it “a smart mobâ€? – everyone brings a white tablecloth and wears as much white as they wish, maybe even elegant white. They also bring a picnic – the hosts provide the linens, utensils and place setings – and suddenly appear in a major urban public space where they set up tables with gourmet food, china and cutlery and

love of beauty and good taste. Le DĂŽner en Blanc recalls the elegance and glamour of court society, and diners engage one another knowing they are taking part in a truly magical event. There are no disruptions: no car traffic, no pedestrian traffic, except for the occasional amazed and astonished looks from passersby at the scene unfolding before them. And we, as they, wonder whether it’s all not a dream‌â€? Here in Tacoma, Le DĂŽner en Blanc revelers will be entertained by the breathtaking fire dancing of L. Lisa Lawrence and special musical guests Benjamin Doerr & Lydia Ramsey of St. Paul de Vence. The Oceanic 2013 Lumins Festivus, organized by Adam Martin, will be previewing their amazing illuminated sculptures while guests picnic. Just two days later, Sept. 28, Lumins Festivus – a procession of light and luminarias – happens in Tacoma starting at Wright Park at 6 p.m. Learn more at www. tacomasoutsidersguide.com/the2013-lumins-festivus.html. Your Le DĂŽner en Blanc hosts will also provide a few tasty hints of what’s to come on First Night this Dec. 31 (such as a Trojan horse to help ring in the Year of the Horse). “We will be putting out calls for (First Night) volunteers and will need many,â€? Di Nino said. “Naturally we’re trying to get donations to support the presentations we’re doing this year. This particular board is highly energized and starting the preparations earlier than it has been done in the past. For the first time ever we’re creating a ‘fan’ base by collecting email addresses from supporters.â€?

VOODOO CHILE. Scott Wexton (a.k.a. Voodoo Organist) will headline Jazzbones on Sept. 25. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

T

he initial catalyst for Scott Wexton becoming the Voodoo Organist was learning to play the organ as a 10-year-old altar boy. Little did his parents know he’d later use his churchly talents on twisted tunes about boozing, sinning and the living dead, many of which he’ll showcase on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at Jazzbones. But the event that ultimately set Wexton on his current musical path was nearly bleeding to death in 2001. “I was massively bleeding internally,” Wexton said, recalling the grisly episode during a call to his pop culture emporium in Joshua Tree, Calif. “By about noon that day, I’d gone to the bathroom AUSTENLAND (97 MIN, PG-13) Fri 9/20: 2:25, 4:40, 7:00, 9:10 Sat 9/21-Sun 9/22: 12:10, 2:25, 4:40, 7:00, 9:10 Mon 9/23-Thu 9/26: 2:25, 4:40, 7:00, 9:10

about a dozen times, and it was almost pure blood. So I rushed myself to the hospital, almost bit the dust in E.R., and somehow, miraculously, leveled out.” The initial diagnosis was a bacterial infection, but eventually Wexton learned he suffered from Crohn’s Disease, an inflammatory disorder that affects the bowels. Wexton had honed his musical chops in several rock bands over the years, gaining some notoriety in Nemesis, an industrial band that got big enough to open for Nine Inch Nails in his native Detroit. But he’d long soured on the petty conflicts and rivalries that tended to tear groups apart. His neardeath experience was further confirmation that he needed to take control of his creative life, pronto. “It was like, ‘You know what? I just don’t have time to wait any more. I almost died,’” he said, chuckling. “I decided to form a solo act, an act where I didn’t have anybody else to hold me back. I wrote my first Voodoo Organist record, booked two consecutive tours, quit my day job at the print shop, and off I went.” Wexton’s music, however, is not nearly as serious as those roots may suggest. The Voodoo Organist sound is “gospel punk,” creepy, campy organ jams with spooky Theremin flourishes that

RANGO (107 MIN, PG) Tue 9/21: 10:00am

recall shlocky ‘50s sci fi. “The last band that I was in, in Los Angeles, was the Screamin’ Demons, and I was kind of creeping toward the Voodoo Organist sound with that project,” Wexton said. “I was getting back into organ music, discovered Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. I’ve always been a Tom Waits fan. … That was kind of when the whole lounge exotica revival stuff started happening. So it was kind of taking one half lounge exotica, one half dirty blues a la Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and putting it all together.” But, like a George Romero movie, there’s a bit of societal commentary hidden in all that ghoulish fun. The Voodoo Organists’ May release “Vampire Empire,” for example, is about the corporate takeover of America. “It’s kind of my political record,” Wexton said. “I don’t see how people either can’t see it or refuse to see it. But (the corporations are) vampires, and they’re sucking us all dry. And if things continue on this path for another 10 years ... it’s gonna be nothing but Walmart and Amazon. So it’s my take on the events that are happening right now. The music will start at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Admission is free. Call (253) 396-9196 or see www.jazzbones.com for further details.

and Jess Winfield. This fastpaced comedy starring Luke Amundson, Coleman Hagerman and Blake York, is a gaga-second, delight that deconstructs all 37 of the Bard’s plays – plus the sonnets – into a single two-hour whirlwind. “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]” will run until Sunday, Sept. 22. Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday’s are at 2 p.m. Info: www.tacomalittletheatre.com. “ARSENIC AND OLD LACE” The Lakewood Playhouse is proud to present the first show of its 75th anniversary season – Joseph Kesserling’s wonderful black comedy with a little extra kick: “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Play times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. The show runs through Oct. 13, with special showings at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26 (Pay What You Can actor’s benefit). This show marks the playhouse’s first presentation with its auditorium’s new chairs. They are built for comfort and include lower back support as well as cup holders for your soft drinks and popcorn. Presented with views from all sides, in the Lakewood Playhouse’s unique “in the round” seating, this production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” will help you feel as if you are inside the show. About the show: A drama critic learns on his wedding day that his beloved maiden aunts are homicidal maniacs, and that insanity runs in his family along with a fondness for serving arsenicspiked elderberry wine. The show returns to the Lakewood Playhouse stage for the first time since 1997. Info: www.lakewoodplayhouse.org/ AL-MUTANABBI STREET STARTS HERE The traveling exhibit of artist books, created to defy

an Iraqi bomb, runs now through Oct. 31 in the Collins Memorial Library of the University of Puget Sound. On March 5, 2007, in the middle of the Iraq War, a car bomb devastated the literary and intellectual heart of Baghdad, ripping through booksellers, cafes, and tea shops, killing 30 people and wounding more than 100. San Francisco poet and artist Beau Beausoleil and British scholar Sarah Bodman responded to the devastation by asking artists and poets from around the world to create artists’ books as a show of solidarity with those slain and injured. The result is a remarkable exhibition of some 200 handmade artists’ books and single-sheet broadsides. The co-curators say the display aims to “pay homage to the truth that can rest between any two covers,” and to reflect “the ultimate futility of those who try to erase thought.” Collins Memorial Library at University of Puget Sound is proud to be hosting the national traveling exhibit Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here this fall. (Al-Mutanabbi, the bombed street, was named after Iraqi poet al-Mutanabbi, the Arab world’s equivalent of Shakespeare). The show includes more than 50 works from the original collection.

This week’s Featured Pet is a pup with an amazing spirit. Monte is a 2 year old black pit bull who seems to always have a smile on his face. Even after having surgery on his leg, this happy guy still made sure to get plenty of playtime in. Monte is receiving hydro therapy for his hip at Unleashed Doggie Daycare & Wellness Center. By the looks of it, he has no idea this is supposed to be work. Monte makes the best out of his situation and brings a smile to everyone around him. Besides his infectious spirit, Monte is a wonderful companion who loves car rides, responds well to commands, walks well on a leash and is house trained. This wonderful pup would be best suited for a household with older children and adults. Don’t miss out on this amazing dog. Take Monte home today! Reference #A477558
