YMCA’s Late Nite program for teens is a safe, fun place to spend Friday night By Kate Burrows kburrows@tacomaweekly.com

F

lash back to the early 1990s in Tacoma. Gang violence ran rampant in many parts of the city, and there were few places outside of school for youth to spend their time in productive ways. YMCA Executive Director Phil Carter had seen enough, and was inspired to make a change – a real change that could make a difference in the community. He wanted to provide a safe space for teens to come together, have fun and simply spend time in a positive environment. Along with the help of Charles Carson, who worked at the time for Tacoma’s Safe Streets program, the idea of YMCA’s Late Nite program was born. Since then, each YMCA in Pierce and Kitsap counties has become a hot spot for teens on Friday nights to get to know each other, socialize, play sports and more – all in a safe and fun environment. “We needed a place for kids to go during these times, regardless of their ability to pay,” Carter said. “Late Nite has become a chance to expose kids to an environment they may not have experienced before.” The program takes place at YMCA branches from 9:30-11:30 p.m., and is open to the community free of charge. Carter is proud to say local law enforcement officers have seen a decrease in crime rates during these times since Late Nite started. “The next goal is to provide programs for kids between the hours of 3-7 p.m.,” he said. “We have a lot of members who come in during those hours, but we need programs that are open to everyone. That is the next goal.” Some of the biggest draws at the Morgan Family YMCA, where Carter currently serves as executive director, is a chance to take over the basketball courts, and the gymnastics room for parkour training. This craze combines movements focused on overcoming a variety of obstacles by running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, leaping and rolling. At Carter’s YMCA, gymnastics equipment allows teens to leap over balance beams, flip on trampolines, swing on poles and more. At some point during the night, all the teens are gathered together for a prayer or message from a featured speaker. “This is a very special part of the program,” Carter added. “It’s important to

David Smith and his wife Leanne, both Fife High School class of 2004 grads and now New Mexico residents, have passed the midpoint of a cross-country adventure together they will likely never forget. They are trekking from Portland, Maine to Portland, Ore., on a tandem bike to raise money for a nonprofit effort to build a well in Nicaragua. They put their feet to their pedals Aug. 2 and are on schedule to end their 3,000-mile trip after eight weeks of between 40 and 80-mile days, every day to raise the $3,000 goal by late September. Like their journey, that goal is about halfway done as well, clocking in at $2,175 for Living Water International, a Christian nonprofit organization that provides X See BIKE RIDE / page A10

Counties open their facilities to teenagers in the community from 9:30-11:30 p.m. During this time, youth have a chance to let loose, play some basketball, check out rock climbing walls, and give parkour training a shot using gymnastics equipment – all in a safe, positive, fun environment.

make sure there is a chance for everyone to come together and listen to a positive message of some kind.” Each Friday, the Morgan Family Y serves anywhere from 80 to 150 teens, and approximately 1,500 youth participate in a Late Nite program at other YMCA locations nearby. At least eight staff members are on duty during these hours, along with a number of volunteers and mentors. Many mentors and volunteers have experienced the program themselves, according to Toby Roberts, marketing and communications director for the YMCA. “Years ago, we had a troubled teen come through our program, and

when he reached his early 20s, he came back to us as a mentor,” Roberts said. “That kind of story means so much to us, because it gives purpose to our work. It says we’re making a positive impact on our community, and that’s what the Y is here to do.” The program has grown to offer a scholarship to help teens pursuing higher education. “I was originally hoping to get these kids through high school with the Late Nite program,” Carter said. “This scholarship program really takes it to another level.” For more information about Late Nite, or to donate to the program, visit www.ymcapkc.org/donate/strong-kids.

BOAT HOUSE. The Foss Waterfront Seaport is facing changes with a new director in the works and expansion in the coming years to reconnect Tacoma with his maritime heritage through exhibits and festivals. By John Larson jlarson@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma City Council has approved a resolution for a 50-year lease agreement between the city, Foss Waterway Development Authority and Foss Waterway Seaport. This will allow the seaport to continue its efforts to redevelop the historic Balfour Dock Building. Built in 1900, Balfour is part of a structure that once was a mile long. It has served as a museum and educational facility for a number of years. Improvements have been made, the most recent being a glass wall at the north side of the structure. The lease comes with two options to renew for 10-year periods, if terms of the initial lease are upheld. X See SEAPORT / page A10

BEACHES CLOSE DUE ;6 :/,33-0:/ 760:65

Unusually high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poison (PSP) toxins have been found in Commencement Bay shellfish. Toxin levels have been increasing since last reports in August, and more Pierce County beaches have been closed as a result. Recreational shellfish harvesting closures are in effect for all but a small portion of Pierce County beaches. PSP toxins are not visible in the water or in shellfish. Eating shellfish contaminated with PSP toxins can be fatal. The toxins cannot be destroyed by cooking or freezing. PSP toxins can only be detected by laboratory testing. Conditions are changing rapidly and there will likely be more areas closed in the very near future. Recreational shellfish harvesters are advised to call the Washington State Department of Health Biotoxin Hotline at (800) 562-5632 or access the Biotoxin website at www.doh.wa.gov/ehp/sf/biotoxin.htm before harvesting shellfish anywhere in Puget Sound. Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has posted signs in impacted areas of the county, including Ruston Way, Dash Point County Park, Brown’s Point Park, Owens Beach, Point Defiance boathouse, Narrows Park, Day Island marina, Wollochet Bay boat launch, Fox Island Bridge, Solo Beach, Saltars Point, and Sunrise Beach County Park, warning people to not eat shellfish from these areas. The closure includes clams, oysters, mussels, scallops and other species of mollusks. Crabs and shrimp are not included in the closure. Commercial beaches are sampled separately and commercial products should be safe to eat.

The public is invited to attend the 11 a.m. citizenship ceremony at the Mount Tahoma High School Auditorium, 4634 S. 74th St., on Sept. 22. Constitution Day and Citizenship Day are observed in September to commemorate the signing of the Constitution and “recognize all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become citizens.� This commemoration had its origin in 1940, when Congress passed a joint resolution designating this day as “I Am An American Day.� For a second consecutive year, Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson spearheaded the effort to bring the citizenship celebration to the South Sound. “Pierce County is proud of each and every immigrant and refugee who makes the tremendous effort to complete the naturalization process. We embrace these new citizens and voters and want to honor them right here in Pierce County,� she said. More than 100 immigrants are expected to participate and become American citizens. Pock-

Mars Hill Church has announced it is currently under contract to purchase the First Congregational Church building in Tacoma. According to Mars Hill Church’s Web site, the congregation plans to raise $1.5 million and renovate the building before opening it as Mars Hill Tacoma in fall 2013. The Tacoma church will be led by Pastor Bubba Jennings, who served as a pastor for almost a decade at the original Ballard church before moving to the South Sound region to get the Tacoma church going. The church will hold a public vision and prayer night on Sept. 27 to dedicate the church building. “It gives us great joy to know that the building on the corner of Division and South ‘J’ Street will not be turned into a parking lot, but rather remain a church for another 100-plus years,� said Pastor Jennings in a statement posted on Mars Hill’s Web site. The building, located at 918 Division Ave., originally opened its doors on Oct. 11, 1908 and was used as a dormitory during World War II to house and feed soldiers, according to Historic Tacoma. In the 1960s, it was home to Tacoma’s first food bank.

XxJj220 The Jaguar XJ220 is not designed for grocery shopping, but it would be easy to spot in the parking lot since the driver would just have to look for the crowd of people peering through its windows. Built in collaboration between Tom Walkinshaw Racing and Jaguar in the years 1992 and 1994, it held the record for the highest top speed of a production car at 217 miles per hour. Although the XJ220 was not built in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards of the United States, it has since become possible to privately import it to the U.S. under the “Show and Display” exemption. The car started life as a side project of Jaguar’s chief engineer Jim Randle in the 1980s as a way to re-capture the glory years of Jaguar racing from the 1950s and 1960s. The concept car used a quad-cam 6.2-litre version of Jaguar’s V12 engine and an all-wheel-drive system was produced by FF Developments, which had experience with such systems going back to the 1960s. The car was styled by Keith Helfet and included scissor-style doors similar to those in use by Lamborghini. The name “XJ220” was assigned as a reference to the targeted top speed of 220 miles per hour and was never intended to be a production car. It was purely a

demonstration to create a “wow factor” for the company. It, however, produced too many head turns at its 1988 unveiling at the British Motor Show at Birmingham that demand for the car prompted a feasibility study to see if the car could be made production worthy. It would sell, and sell well, with a few modifications, namely a V6 twin turbo racing engine; rear-wheel drive, rather than four-wheel drive; and conventional doors. The car was officially announced in 1989 with the revised specification

and a price of $580,000. The cars were delivered on the basis of “first come, first served.” A total of 281 road-cars were made. For the owners who took delivery of their cars, Autocar’s verdict was: “Right now, the XJ220 gives us a standard by which all other fast cars can be compared. For the few who will actually own and, hopefully, use their XJ220s, the fact that they are in command of the most accomplished supercar ever made should suffice.”

She compared it to the Energy Star label attached to appliances. The third is the entire evaluation. Among the local businesses that have agreed to this process through this phase are Harmon Brewing and Ram restaurant and brewery, which have put their beers through the test, and Richlite Northwest, which makes countertops. This will be the 12th annual conference. Hall Barta said Tacoma was selected to host it this year because it is the first city in America to receive the designation Life Cycle City. This year’s theme is “Life Cycle Thinking, Life Cycle Living.” She sees the conference as a way for Tacoma to showcase its efforts to improve the environment. The opening session will have welcoming remarks by Mayor Marilyn Strickland. On the afternoon of Sept. 24 a reception

Tacoma will display its cultural attractions and breakthroughs in environmental science to the world when American Center for Life Cycle Assessment brings its LCA XII conference to Hotel Murano Sept. 24-27. The organization, founded in 2000, is the professional society for life cycle assessment, which is the science of measuring the environmental performance of a product from cradle to grave. Colleen Hall Barta is director of development for the Institute for Environmental Research and Education, which organizes the management of the assessment program. She explained that the assessments take into account carbon footprint, water footprint, land use, energy use and biodiversity. “It is meant to be used as a holistic yardstick for environmental measurement,” she said. There are three types of labels used for products that go through the assess-

will be held at Center for Urban Waters, with tours of the facility. LeMay Museum will host an event on Sept. 25, where the local brewers will unveil their new labels. On Sept. 26 tours will be offered of the city’s water treatment plant on Portland Avenue and EnviroHouse at the landfill. Museum of Glass will host a reception that evening. Presenters at the conference will include a French government official explaining how the assessments have been done in that country and a researcher from the University of British Columbia on the impact of sporting events. One session will examine data collected by Tacoma Public Utilities and the city’s Environmental Services Division. “Tacoma can make claims of how clean and green it is, and it is all based on science,” Hall Barta remarked. People interested in attending the conference can register through Sept. 24. For more information visit www. lcacenter.org.

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

RENDERINGS COURTESY OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

96(+ 73(5:. Maps show the route under consideration for the State Route 167 extension that has been in the works for 30 years.

SR-167’s $1.9 billion pricetag prompts funding challenge By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

State Route 167’s route through Fife will help ease the traffic jams at key routes to Interstate 5 ... someday. City officials say the completion of the “final link� between SR-167 and the Tideflats will bring the most changes to the city since the opening of I-5 some 50 years ago. But the timeline of the change is a bit in flux since projections put the cost at about $1.6 billion but will all but end the days of commuter cars battling with container trucks for space on the city’s roadways. “It’s a freeway that has got to be completed,� Washington State Department of Transportation Regional Manager Kevin Dayton said. “And is to the community a very important linkage.�

Work to finally connect SR-167 directly to the commercial traffic associated with shipping operations on the waterfront has been planned, discussed and studied for decades, with the route being finalized with a “Record of Decision� in late 2007. Engineers have been working out the details ever since, while the state has been purchasing right of ways along the route as money becomes available. About 70 percent of the path for the road extension has been purchased as transportation officials seek ways to pay for the rest along with the actual construction of the road itself. The entire project is set to include four miles of six-lane highway between Puyallup and I-5 followed by two miles of four-lane highway between SR-509 and I-5 and new interchanges at SR-161, Valley Avenue East, I-5, 54th Avenue

East and SR-509. Side work of the project would be the addition of two weigh stations and two parkand-ride lots. Both the Washington State Legislature and Department of Transportation consider the completion of SR-167 to be a top priority for the region and the state as well as with the City of Fife, the Port of Tacoma, neighboring cities, Pierce County and the Valley Cities organization and other economically focused entities, both public and private. But money is tight for such a large project. That means a toll system is being studied much like the second Narrows Bridge did years ago. “To build the entire corridor, the project will need approximately $1.9 billion in additional funds for design, right of way and construction,� according to state estimates. “Although the signing

of the 2009-2011 transportation budget on May 13, 2009 provided $63.4 million in right of way funding for the project, there is no construction funding at this time. Until additional funding is identified, construction dates will remain undetermined.� The state only has $159 million earmarked for the project so far. “Everything seems to revolve around money,� Dayton said. State Route 167 is the primary freeway connecting the Kent and Puyallup River valleys to the Tacoma metropolitan area. The Kent and Puyallup area holds the second largest distribution center on the West Coast. Almost half of the regional truck traffic from the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma are destined for this area. The highway’s original planned route ran from Renton to Tacoma, but construction halted near Puyallup

in the 1980s as engineers worked from north to south with available money. The SR-167 extension, which is projected to carry some 100,000 cars and trucks a day once completed, is a critical missing link in the state’s highway network. Its completion is expected to improve safety and reduce congestion along local roads and freeways in the surrounding area. The smoother traffic flows and shorter driving times would, projections claim, fuel job growth to the tune of $10.1 billion by increases in shipping businesses, Port of Tacoma’s international cargo and other operations — an expansion that is contingent on good transportation connections to move the freight to and from the docks. Public hearings are in the works for October with a final report to the Legislature due in December.

Project takes new approach to improving environment

Alaska Street is the way to go for bicyclists By Rob Gramenz Welcome to a world class bicycle route in Tacoma. If you want to travel from the North End or Hilltop to PLU to take in, for example, a workshop on transportation policy, no need for a car or bus. No, really. Even if you are scared of cars, new on the bike or nervous about your exposure, you now have a wonderful option. Get on Yakima (aka 21st Street or ‘I’ Street) and head south. You can cross I-5 with lots of elbow room and little traffic. You want to turn right at 34th or 35th, so you can be on Alaska ASAP. Alaska: this is commuter bicycling nirvana in Tacoma, for sure. From South 35th to South 48th streets, it’s a low traffic residential street, as mellow as you can get in the city. Then the real magic begins. Cruise past Giaudrone Middle School on the bike lane, plenty of room and no parked cars with the attendant risk of unexpected door openings such as you find on Yakima to the east. Alaska

by bicycle was designed with your safety in mind, and the safety no doubt of the students who commute to school on this fine route. You think this section was fun? Here it is, Tacomans: Alaska from S. 56th to S. 72nd: no finer application of engineering to benefit the bicycle commuter can be found in this city. This section just opened in August, and there should have been a 10-trombone choir (76?) to herald the event. Where space is available on the route, it is wide and the parts that are residential have good sized parking strips totally off the right of way with plenty of room for the cyclist to ride to the left and avoid running into the unexpected car door opening without getting too close to potential car traffic. Beautiful. As you proceed south, the Wapato Lake depression reduces the available real estate for the right of way, so the parking spaces disappear and the bike lane narrows somewhat. No worries – the route is still relatively less traveled by cars, and the view of the lake as you

cruise by on the wonderfully smooth new road surface is spectacular. Arriving at S. 72nd, signage encourages cars to choose either left or right since the “arterial� is ending. Cyclists continue on, and are in a nice southeast side neighborhood of calm. You encounter either staggered intersections such that there is potential oncoming traffic from only one direction, or “mini� roundabouts easily negotiated on the bike. Speed bumps keep things reasonable, but no need for you to slow down on these, just get low and hang on tight! Approaching S. 96th as you pass Helen B. Stafford Elementary School, you notice two or three relatively blind intersections, raising your awareness of the need for alertness, and the shortcomings of bicycle lanes at times. This route is not perfect. But it is nearly so. To everyone who worked on developing and building the Alaska bike route, thank you for this wonderful addition to our city. Rob Gramenz is a Tacoma resident.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor,

Last month the State Auditor’s office made a determination that there was no law preventing Metro Parks Tacoma from engaging in private enterprise for profit outside parks property. This means that Metro Parks is now free to provide home lawn care service, in competition to private companies. This service is not limited to city residents but may be offered to anyone in Pierce County. I oppose Metro Parks getting into the private lawn care business as it harms many small businesses whose livelihoods depend on it. If validation of this is required, I have proof that Metro Parks has gotten into business outside parks properties in competition with small business. Our company, Orbiter, is in the race chip timing business. We manufacture our product here in Tacoma, and sell around the country to private race timers. Metro Parks purchased a competitive system on sole source contract without evaluating our UHF product (same as they purchased). Metro Parks has successfully sold racetiming service off parks premises, an event at Stadium Bowl, for profit. This is in direct competition with our timers. We use the lawn care analogy to make an important point. What is legal for race timing is legal for Metro Parks offering lawn care service. What is to stop them? We think the analogy works, as it is more understandable to everyone as to what is going on.

Greg Stewart, Tacoma Dear Editor,

Like much of the South and Midwest, I feel that I am just beginning to recover from the swirl of events of the last week of August. For me, the Alice in Wonderland, through the looking glass experiences was based on my immersion into the alternate world of the Republican Party. The Republican-speak assured us that there was no war to concern ourselves with, but instead our arch-nemesis was a mythical (and sometimes invisible) being who, Thor-like, could raise and lower the oceans, cast hurricanes upon the Republican convention and was single-handedly responsible for all of our social and economic ills – from homosexuality to a stagnant economy, high gas prices, droughts and much more. If only, they told us repeatedly, we could cast the evil Barack Obama spirit from our land, all would be well. Gone was Obama the Muslim, Marxist, terrorist, socialist. After a mere four years, Obama had morphed into a swirling, nearly

invincible (and sometimes invisible) super-villain. Meanwhile, Republicans portray themselves as the faithful remnant fighting valiantly for the restoration of a Thomas Kincaid America where everyone has – and knows – their place. They want their America back. And they mean it. Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, before the convention, told us that America would be better off if women did not have the right to vote. U.S. Representative Todd Akin was eager to give us biology lessons on “legitimate rape� and U.S. Representative Paul Ryan’s speech won accolades from Fox News for packing in the most lies and deceptions in a single speech. And his speech was not only accepted – it was cheered. If you saw the convention, you could not miss the “We built this� banners everywhere. They obviously did not apply to the ice hockey arena itself – which was built with more than 60 percent federal funds and union labor. And one unfortunate lapse into unintentional honesty was the placement of a “We built this� banner directly under the constantly ticking debt clock. This convention, like Hurricane Isaac, has dissipated and spun off a series of tornadoes and collateral damage. We will all be cleaning up and recovering for years to come.

Morf Morford, Tacoma Dear Editor,

We need change! Washington had been pretty much insulated from the economic downturn across the country until four years ago. In spite of the tax and spend actions of the Democrats we stayed on top, but nothing good lasts forever. The Democrat policies have pushed Boeing to move its headquarters and subsequently much of its operations out of state. The Democrats continue to raise taxes and add regulations that stymie the economy. We can no longer listen to the Democrats during the campaign season, as they will say anything to get your vote. We cannot allow them to continue to ignore our initiatives. We vote against taxes and the Democrats vote them back in. We have been four years in a repressed state, in repressed Washington. It is time for a change. The Democrats have had the control but have used it to continue the policies that have pushed Washington into this recession. We cannot afford to vote Democrat again.

Progress is often achieved in small, incremental steps. This is certainly true of efforts to improve the environment, which require people to make changes in how they live in order to achieve lasting results. A new program will start this weekend that aims to make one section of Tacoma a healthier place with a reduced impact on the environment. The Healthy Home, Healthy Neighborhood Project is a collaboration of Metro Parks, Northwest Leadership Foundation, Pierce Conservation District, Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, Tacoma Power, Tacoma Water, Tacoma/Pierce County Health Department and two components of the city of Tacoma’s Public Works Department – the Office of Sustainability and Environmental Services Division. It will focus on the area bordered by Interstate 5 on the west, South Yakima Avenue on the east, South 56th Street on the north and South 76th Street on the south. The effort is a spin-off of a recent pilot project of the city to shift garbage collection from once a week to every other week, with an emphasis on getting residents to put more of their recyclable items such as newspapers and aluminum cans in their blue bins and yard and food waste in their brown bins, thus reducing the amount of trash being hauled to the landfill. That effort targeted two small sections of town. City staff went door to door in the two areas to speak with residents to explain the pilot project. The Healthy Home, Healthy Neighborhood Project will expand upon that. Northwest Leadership Foundation has lined up an AmeriCorps member to staff this effort. For the next 10 months, residents of the Wapato Lake area will receive one-on-one assistance in making their households healthier and more efficient. There are several reasons why this area was chosen. One is water quality, which has been a challenge in Wapato Lake for many years. It is off-limits to swimming due to poor water quality. Tacoma is developing a program to teach residents how to establish rain gardens, which will filter this water back into the ground. In time this will recharge groundwater and reduce polluted runoff that carries contaminants into Wapato Lake. Another reason is air quality. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has designated the Tacoma area as a non-attainment zone because the amount of particulate matter in the air exceeds federal guidelines. A monitoring device in South Tacoma has frequently measured air quality as exceeding the federal threshold. Smoke from wood stoves and fireplaces in this section of the city is a major culprit. Those who answer that knock on the door will receive information on resources available to them to replace older wood stoves with newer, cleanerburning models. Other components of the program will encourage residents to recycle more, install low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators to reduce water and energy usage, replace incandescent light bulbs with new energyefficient bulbs and use natural yard care methods. The effort gets underway during the Wake Up for Wapato event, taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 22 in Wapato Lake. We encourage residents of the area to attend to learn more about this innovative and comprehensive effort to improve the health of their neighborhood.

randon Pritchett spent most of the game against Fife helping his team build a lead on offense, but in the end it was his defensive work that saved the win for Clover Park. With under 20 seconds remaining and the Trojans inside the Warriors’ 10-yard line looking for the winning score, Pritchett sacked quarterback Andrew Waltner and caused a fumble that his team recovered, preserving a 28-25 win for Clover Park in the league opener for both teams. “The last few years they’ve gotten us,” said Clover Park head coach Jon Randall, noting the intensity of the series since he took over in 2003. “They’re just good, hard-nosed and they’re well-coached. They’re going to come at you. You know that you’re going to be in a fight. I’m just proud of our kids, man.” After a 71-yard return on the game’s opening kickoff by Fife’s Dylan Fisher, the Warriors stopped the Trojans on fourth down on their own nine-yard line and proceeded to march 91 yards in 12 plays, capped by Pritchett’s nine-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0. It was the start of a big game for Pritchett, who finished with 22 carries for 110 yards and two scores. “We’ve only got seven offensive linemen right now,” Randall said. “Those guys rotate in, and they took care of business. Brandon stuck it up in there, but it’s (because of) the linemen. The line is making those holes and making it go.” After an onside kick recovery, quarterback Keila Pritchard hit Brady Daly for a 40-yard touchdown to put the Warriors up 14-0 with just under five minutes left in the first quarter. The Trojans got a key score just before the half, launching an 11-play, 85-yard drive that was capped by Waltner’s 36-yard touchdown pass to Austin Lamarr with just over 30 seconds remaining. The Warriors went up 22-7 on a 52-yard touchdown pass from Pritchard to Daly early in the third, but the Trojans answered right back with a three-yard touchdown run from Dominic Dutra to cut it to 22-13. “I do like our fight, I like our grit, I like that we played tough in the second half,” said Fife head coach Kent Nevin. “It was things like that that show that we have character.” Pritchett responded again for Clover Park when he broke free for a 39-yard score to make it 28-13 just three plays later. Waltner then hit tight end Kaleb McGary for a 40-yard touchdown on the Trojans’ next possession to cut it to 28-19, but the senior quarterback threw interceptions on Fife’s next two drives to stall the momentum. After Fife recovered a fumble on

the next drive, Waltner rebounded to hit McGary for a 10-yard score to make it 28-25 with just over six minutes remaining. The Trojans then stopped the Warriors on fourth down on the next drive and drove 66 yards in 10 plays, but were thwarted by Pritchett’s sack in the end. Waltner led the Trojans by going 24-for-34 for 289 yards and three touchdowns, with two interceptions, and Lamarr had four catches for 118 yards. Pritchard was 7-for-14 for 153 yards and two touchdowns for Clover Park. “This is huge for our boys,” Randall said. “We’ve conditioned them hard, they’re working hard and now they’re getting a little bit of the payback. When you get that taste, then the hard work doesn’t seem so bad.” By Jeremy Helling

All was going well for Wilson on Sept. 14 in Shelton for a little over two quarters. But leading 18-7 early in the third, Rams quarterback Moses Lewis lost a pitch deep in Wilson territory, and the High Climbers would recover and go on to score 21 consecutive points en route to a 35-25 win in the Narrows 3A openers

for both teams. “The fumble dramatically changed our momentum and cost us in the end,” said veteran Rams head coach Don Clegg, who watched his team fall to 2-1 overall. While the Rams were in high gear offensively for most of the night, two factors kept them on the short end of the scoreboard for most of the second half – running backs Ralph Kinne and Deshon Bell. Kinne rumbled for 359 yards and a touchdown on the night and Bell accounted for 178 yards and three touchdowns. “Kinne just tore us up all night, he’s a tremendous back,” said Clegg. Shelton struck first when quarterback Jared Welander found Thomas Gettle wide open in the flat and he would coast in from 11 yards out to put the Climbers up 7-0 late in the opening period. Wilson would waste little time in responding when Jake Ferris found the end zone with 51 seconds left in the opening stanza. The Rams took the lead for the first time when Lewis found Connor Patterson from seven yards out and when Wilson stopped Shelton on downs on the ensuing drive, Lewis hit Ben Matz with a 19-yard touchdown pass to take an 18-7 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Highlighted by a spirited and hard-fought victory in the number-one doubles match, the Bellarmine Prep Lions swept the Stadium Tigers 5-0 at home on Sept. 18, displaying the depth of their tennis squad. With all of the other varsity matches finished, Lions senior Chase Hassig and junior Henry Wurst completed the sweep by claiming a 7-6, 7-6 win over Stadium senior Aaron Park and freshman Callan Peterson – the Tigers’ top two singles players who were playing as a duo for the first time. Hassig and Wurst capped a back-and-forth match by claiming the tiebreaker 7-5. “We focused on staying at the net,” said Wurst, who advanced to the state tournament with Hassig last spring. “We did what we did, got to the net and won our points at the net…it’s good practice for district and state, because we’re hoping to go farther than we did last year.” Trailing 5-4 in the second set, Wurst’s solid serving and returns helped tie it at five games apiece, and the Lions’ duo went up 6-5 before Peterson and Park tied it to require the tiebreak. “Callan is an experienced freshmen coming in and Aaron’s got a lot of experience and is playing really well,” Hassig said. “When we made a mistake we’d just talk about it, we’d high-five and get pumped up.” Earlier in the day, Bellarmine sophomore Elliot Gardner coasted to a 6-1, 6-1 win over Stadium’s Gavin Mackey in the number-one singles match, using a consistent forehand to wear down his opponent. “I was just stepping forward, which helps me put away balls, and just concentrating and not letting him get in my head, because it’s easy to lose a match like that,” Gardner said. Ted Tanner and Chris Wood beat Daniel Yun and Alex Moreno 7-5, 6-0 in numbertwo doubles, Sean Noronha and Brett Manke cruised 6-1, 6-1 over the Tigers’ Alex Sylvanus and Anup Chamrajnagar and the Lions’ Taylor Flaherty took out Tigers freshman Robbie Bernovich – playing his first varsity match – 6-1, 6-2 in number-two doubles. Despite the less than ideal outcome, Stadium coach Stefan Green is excited about the future and potential of his relatively young squad. “I’m excited for our future,” said Green, noting the play of Moreno, a junior, and Peterson. “All in all, I wish the outcome was better, but it shows us we have a lot to work on…in the long run, what we’re trying to do is to build the program up for the future. We’re succeeding in that respect, we’ve got 31 kids. And the majority of these guys are freshmen.”

The Loggers held a 28-11 shot advantage in the match, as Gonzalez tallied nine saves for the Lutes. “Certainly UPS attacked a lot today, we defended a lot today,� Spidahl said. “We had to hold on a lot. All in all, based on the shots we had to face, the corners we had to face, we’re very happy with it.�

Looking to end a 27-match losing streak to their cross-town rivals, Pacific Lutheran caught Puget Sound off guard in the first half with two early goals on Sept. 13 and seemed headed for a win. And even though the 10-time defending conference champ Loggers battled back with two late goals to earn a 2-2 draw, the Lutes showed they are a different team than the recent past. “We’re obviously very happy with the overall result,â€? said first-year Pacific Lutheran head coach Seth Spidahl. “We took eighth out of ninth place last year, so we’re just trying to improve... for us to be in the game and competitive was a real step forward.â€? The Lutes struck quickly, as senior Mimi Granlund stole a pass near midfield and sent a beautiful through ball to true freshman forward Lauren Larson – a Curtis High grad – who drove a shot past keeper Casey Thayer for a 1-0 lead. Larson struck again eight minutes later, taking a pass from sophomore Stadium High grad Hannah Bush and sliding to strike it into the right netting to make it 2-0. “She’s done great for us,â€? said Spidahl of Larson. “She’s a real threat, a very direct player and will get to goal‌she’s going to be a good one for us.â€? While the Loggers had several shots go off the crossbar later in the half,

assists and 19 digs in two matches last weekend, was named Northwest Conference Volleyball Athlete of the Week on Sept. 18. His other touchdown came on an 11-yard strike to Lucas Sontra to make it 28-7 late in the fourth quarter. Kellen Westering led the Lutes with seven catches for 92 yards. The Lutes also tallied six tackles for loss on defense, while Mychel Tuiasosopo and Connor Cummings had fumble recoveries. Dalton Darmody led the Lutes with 10 tackles and one tackle for loss. After a bye week, the Lutes will begin conference play by hosting Linfield on Sept. 29 at 12:30 p.m. at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup.

Landon Gauthier scored two second-half goals to lead the Loggers past Pacific (Ore.) 2-1 on Sept. 15. Nick Rudella put Pacific up 1-0 with a goal in the 16th minute, and the lead held up at the half. But the Loggers earned

a penalty kick that Gauthier converted in the 48th minute, and the junior forward added another goal in the 53rd minute off a cross by Sean Ryan to give the Loggers the lead. Puget Sound held a 16-7 shot advantage in the match. Andrew White helped lead the Loggers past George Fox 2-0 on Sept. 16, getting Puget Sound on the board with a goal in the 29th minute. White then earned a penalty kick in the box in the 76th minute, and Gauthier converted again to make it 2-0. The Loggers were dominant offensively once again, holding a 19-8 shot advantage. The Loggers continue league play with the first of five straight road matches on Sept. 22 at Willamette at 2:30 p.m. They then play at Linfield on Sept. 23 at 2:30 p.m.

“We lost our edge after the last touchdown and it hurt us in a big way,� said Clegg. Kinne would score from four yards out after Lewis’ fumble in the third quarter to cut the Wilson lead to 18-14, and from there the dam would burst, as Bell scored on two consecutive possessions from 13 and 59 yards out to give Shelton a 29-18 lead heading into the fourth. The Rams would fight back on their second possession of the fourth quarter, with Lewis hitting Matz from 24 yards out to cut the deficit to 29-25. But Shelton would close out the scoring with a 40-yard Bell touchdown romp with four minutes left to seal the win. “We just made too many mistakes as a team on the night, and you can’t do that against a solid team like Shelton,� said Clegg. Looking ahead, it doesn’t get any easier for Wilson in the tough Narrows 3A. “We’ll need to play real well against a tough Timberline team (on Sept. 21) along with a win the following weekend to have a shot at the playoffs,� said Clegg. “That’s the nature of the beast in this very tough league.� By Steve Mullen

While many of the posts are inspirational, others deal with the shear work and daily challenges of taking on such an endeavor that involves dive bars, cheap hotels, smelly camping gear, exhaustion and frustrations as well as the simple pleasures of hot water. They hit a parade of challenges, for example on Aug. 30, somewhere in Wisconsin that was described in a post entitled “Ups and Downs.” Leanne wrote: “Believe it or not, we spent our first five days in Wisconsin trying to find milk that wasn’t from Texas or Minnesota.

Tom Cashman, executive director of the seaport, said the new lease gives potential donors confidence in the project because the operators now have long-term control of the site. Donors are less likely to give money to a facility with a short-term lease, he observed. The new entrance on the north side will be completed in early November. Work on the east wall, funded by the state, will begin next year. Other work that has been done this year includes seismic upgrades, a new roof and renovations to old windows. This goes with the esplanade on the water side, completed several years ago. Cashman recently announced he will be stepping down from his position as of Sept. 30. He had served as executive director for nine years. He noted that when he started, the organization was dependent on volunteers and

and Cafe. I knew we had found a small piece of heaven when we walked in to see a plate of fresh-baked blueberry muffins being put on the counter. They had such an impressive selection of local dairy goods that we had trouble narrowing down our choice to a large glass bottle of chocolate milk. We were excited to find the milk was non-homogenized, because it was a new experience for us, and we kinda liked the floating bits of extra cream :) David had coffee with his blueberry muffin, and I picked out the most amazing looking loaf of bread I have ever seen to bring with us for our PB&J power snacks. I couldn’t say no to their strawberry rhubarb jam and freshpicked carrots, and they even enticed me with a fresh chocolate chip cookie as we were leaving. Overall, it was exactly what we had been looking for and exactly what we needed to prepare us for what lay ahead!” To sponsor mileage for the Smiths’ trip to benefit Living Water International, visit crowdrise.com/twototandem

a few part-time employees. It now has seven full-time employees. “I am pleased with what we were able to accomplish,” he said. “We made great strides in a project many in town said would never happen.” He spread the credit for that success to the board, city government and the many volunteers who donate their time to the facility. “There is a real willingness among people to make this happen.” Cashman said he would be interested in a future position where he can shape something new or help an organization that wants to pursue a new direction. “Tom has provided quality leadership for the seaport during his tenure,” Board President Archie Matthew said. “Under his leadership, he gathered together what was essentially an all-volunteer organization and a dilapidated facility and shaped a comprehensive vision, built a set of dynamic programs and raised more than $20 million to put the project on a strong path to fulfill its mission.”

Pierce Transit Proposition 1 Open Houses

Pierce Transit has a ballot measure on the November 6, 2012 election. Proposition 1 asks voters within Pierce Transit’s service area to authorize a three-tenths of one percent sales tax increase.

FIND SHELTER FROM ZOMBIES IN THE DOME DISTRICT

PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

UNDEAD. Fact meets fiction at the Zombie Preparedness Expo later this month when attendees will learn all about how to prepare for a zombie attack from FEMA and CDC experts.

By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

I

f you are reading this, you are not a zombie. Find a way to the safety zone in Tacoma’s Dome District on Sept. 29 if you hope to survive. The government, what’s left of it, has set up a quarantine zone around the Tacoma Dome Best Western, where people can learn all about how to survive the zombie invasion with seminars, group discussions and displays of preparedness equipment for a full day of survival training on Sept 29. About half of the displays at the Tacoma Zombie Festerval and Preparedness Expo 2012 will be specifically targeting the current zombie infestation, while general preparedness information from the Federal Emergency Management Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and survival equipment from retailers will flesh out the roster. The day will include child and adult zombie walks, a scavenger hunt, a zombie film festival, zombie and zombie hunter costume contests as well as performances by the Hot Roddin’ Romeos and the Toy Box Pole Dance Studio dancers. Presentations include walking tours of a refugee center that you would call home as well as tips on what to include in your

emergency preparedness kit – zombie or no zombie. “If you are prepared for a zombie attack, you are prepared for anything,” organizer Mike Shaudis said, noting that the idea behind the event is to mix the popularity of all things zombie with the need-to-know information about preparedness in this tongue-in-cheek event that mixes fantasy and reality. “It is all genuine information.” A survival kit is generally the same whether the disaster is an earthquake, flood, terrorist attack or zombie apocalypse. People should keep a kit of everything they would need to live for at least three days without power, transportation or shelter. While few people, mostly survivalist nuts, would actually attend a fullday conference on emergency preparedness, the theme of a zombie attack makes the topics a fun time for all. “We tried to bring it to the mainstream by including the zombies,” Shaudis said. “It will be great to see the crossover.” There are not many chances when people gather for a “festerval” to talk about how to properly store emergency food items while in zombie costumes – not to mention heading down to Bull’s Eye to take turns at shooting zombie heads with some 120 rentable firearms.

Tacoma Zombie Festerval and Preparedness Expo 2012 All day photo scavenger hunt – Get out of the hotel and see Tacoma by public transportation to avoid the zombies. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tactical, preparedness, and practical classes 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Bull’s Eye Indoor Range will be having an all-day Zombie Shoot at their location with no clean-up fee for Zombpocalypse participants. 10 a.m. Kids zombie hunter contest at expo event space 11 a.m. Kids zombie walk at expo event space 12 p.m. Kids zombie costume contest at expo event space 6 p.m. Adult zombie and zombie hunter costume contests at expo event space 7-10 p.m. 18 and over concert featuring The Hot Roddin’ Romeos, with special performance by The

Tickets available in advance at Meier’s House of Clocks – 3730 S. ‘M’ St. or at the door. Admission is free for children under 9 before 11 a.m. Children 5 and under are free all day. Children 6 to 12 are $5. Public service and military personnel get in for $8. Everyone else can find sanctuary for $12 or $55 for a full zombie survival kit if supplies last. Profits to benefit The Wounded Warrior Project. The “2012 Tacoma Zombpocalypse” will take over the Best Western Tacoma Dome Hotel, 2611 E. ‘E’ St. More information is available at www. tacomazombpocalypse.com.

Dawn of the Dead Dash The Tacoma Zombie Festerval and Preparedness Expo 2012 will be a training ground of sorts for an event later this fall. A “Dawn of the Dead Dash” is set to take over downtown Tacoma on Oct. 26. This scavenger hunt turned survival race is an exciting “life-changing” adventure run through the streets of Tacoma, with humans running for safety as zombies set to pounce. There will be blood, lots and lots of blood. Participants will be asked to challenge themselves to see if they can escape death and remain human as a rapidly growing zombie population

infects the city. Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female human finishers as well as the zombie who infects the most human participants, as well as honors going to top costumes in human and non-human categories. The race is simple, get from point A to point B before being tagged by a zombie. If a human runner is infected with the virus, he or she then becomes a zombie and their hunt for humans begins. Tickets are $35. Information is available at Dawnofthedeaddash.com.

Those fans that made them the most popular group to ever perform on a Puyallup Fair free stage inspired The Shoppe Reunion at The Fair happening through Sept. 23 at the Coca-Cola Stage at noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

SENSATION. Tom Green is bringing his outrageous, unique brand of

standup to Tacoma Comedy Club during five performances Sept. 27-29. Tickets are available now for $15-$20 at tacomacomedyclub.com. By Kate Burrows kburrows@tacomaweekly.com

You probably remember Tom Green as the offbeat comic who may or may not have placed his bum on various items while filming a music video in Seattle. Others remember his memorable performances on the big screen in “Road Trip� and “Freddy Got Fingered,� which he also co-wrote and directed. Although it seems Green has been out of the public eye for a while, his hugely entertaining Internet talk show, “Tom Green’s House Tonight,� became the highest rated show of its kind, keeping die-hard fans happy with his own personal brand of comedy. Green took a break from the talk show in 2011 to go back to his roots in standup comedy, embarking on a critically acclaimed world tour. He makes a stop at Tacoma Comedy Club Sept. 27-29. “What’s fun about coming out to my shows is that I’ve been doing comedy in one form or another for over 20 years,� he said. “But, I haven’t been on the road for 20 years, so I still have a lot of enthusiasm

for standup.� Although the infamous “Tom Green Show� was an epic hit that led to movie deals and more, he calls standup comedy one of his first loves. “This is the most direct connection you’ll ever have with your audience, and I love it,� he said. “I’m proud I’ve been able to keep it going as long as I have.� Green’s first TV stand-up special, airing on Showtime, has Green launching into the social and political topics of the day, ranging from Internet privacy issues to his own personal health struggles. “I cover all sorts of topics in the shows, but I think all comedy is at its best when it’s honest and authentic,� he said. “I talk about my own personal experiences, but it is still an outrageous show. The things that are happening in society today are shocking, and it’s a great time to be in standup.� Green is playing at the Tacoma Comedy Club on Sept. 27 at 8 p.m., and Sept. 28-29 at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $15-$20, available at tacomacomedyclub. com.

Lakewood Playhouse opened its 74th season Sept. 14 with a Sherlock Holmes play the likes of which you have probably never seen. Like all stories involving the greatest detective ever, not much can be written about this play without giving away the surprise ending. But suffice it to say, the gist of the story is classic Holmes. There is a mystery to solve, nuanced clues along the way, and the whole story is tightly wrapped up by the time the lights go out in this two-hour play written by Charles Marowitz. “Sherlock’s Last Case,� while not written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has all the elements of his mystery greats. There is Holmes, of course, (played by Steve Tarry) and his sidekick Dr. Watson (John Munn) at their flat on Baker Street as a mystery unfolds. The offspring of the duo’s arch nemesis, Dr. Moriarty, have come to seek their revenge on the man who murdered their father by taunting Holmes with riddles and threats. With that, the game is afoot. The plot seems to have gotten the upper hand of the famous detective when he finds himself clamped into a chair in a dark cellar. And the story gets dark from there, as what at first seems real becomes an illusion of double crossed schemes and betrayal. Tarry, a South Sound theater mainstay, does well bringing Holmes to life with his full-on arrogance and to-the-point comments of emotionless ultra logic. Munn, too, brings Watson to the stage in a way that is familiar yet uniquely different by diving into his mind the way other plays lack. The Holmes-Watson pair is clearly dysfunctional in the classic police partnership ways, but this show brings that to light in a way that is both understandable and shocking. Clearly one of the “unspoken characters� in this play is the set itself. Designed by Larry

Hagermann, the main set rotates to create a new place with a quick spin, both keeping the pace of the play on task and successfully creating a new scene. Director Christian Carvajal did well at creating the “fly on the wall� feel for audience members used to the theater’s in-theround seating, although this show only has seats on three sides to make way for the larger set pieces. A seat shuffle at intermission creates a whole new view of the actors and the show as the story comes to its climax. With few spaces on the stage for lesser actors to shrink into the background, the set demands all actors bring their A game during every moment under the lights because they are never more than a few feet away from someone staring right at them, whether they are the focus of the action or not. That said, at two hours the play was a bit wordy at points and could have been tightened up to shave a few minutes here and a few minutes there to keep the action going. This is a play without sword fights or struggles over runs or mad dashes to freedom. It all happens in the words the actors say as they shuffle from one side of the stage to the other. While a car crash or zombie attack would have been out of order, a cool fight scene would have been nice, or at least a shorter play by a few nips and tucks in the script seemed in order for the more attention deficit audience members. The play also features: Mrs. Hudson (Cassie Cahill), Inspector Lestrade (Terence Artz), Elizabeth Moriarty (Rachel Gemello) and Damian Moriarty (Mark Rud). The play runs at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays thorough Oct. 14. There is also a benefit show at 8 p.m. on Sept. 27. Call (253) 5880042 or visit www.lakewoodplayhouse.org for more information. The Lakewood Playhouse is located next to the Pierce Transit Center in the Lakewood Towne Center.

September is fashion month at London Couture London Couture takes the local fashion world by storm By Erica Cooley Special to Tacoma Weekly

September is the hottest month for fashion worldwide. London Couture, a renowned vintage couture house in downtown Tacoma, is at the forefront of everything in the local fashion world this season. The whirl of fashion festivities that birth during the heat of the conclusion of summer makes September one of the more essential times of the year for fashion. London Couture has taken September by storm with all events fabulous and glamorous. As fashion pioneers of Tacoma, London Couture started off this season with a bang with the first ever Fashion’s Night Out party in Tacoma. Fashion’s Night Out takes place all over the world to celebrate the kick-off of New York Fashion Week in retail

stores all over the country and this year London Couture was one of them. Fashion’s Night Out took place on Sept. 6 and the doors of London Couture opened, spilling out the glitz and glamour. The night was a celebration of international Fashion’s Night Out as well as a unique tribute to fashion legend Betsey Johnson. From the pedestaled models adorned head to toe Johnson designs to the colorful yummy “mocktail� bar, every aspect of London Couture’s Fashion’s Night Out had Johnson written all over it. Shoppers were able to experience a truly unique shopping escapade with London Couture’s expert stylist to help them browse through the newly released and exclusive designer pieces by names like BCBG, Dior, Chanel and, of course, Johnson. One of the more

extravagant surprises of the night was the unveiling of the breathtaking, never before seen and one-ofa-kind Johnson collection of unfinished dresses and tops that London Couture purchased from Johnson’s own personal showroom in New York. These pieces were finished by London Couture, which then released the one-of-a-kind collaborative fashions. This impeccable collection was the cherry on top of one of the more fabulous events to ever grace the great city of Tacoma. After a fabulous kickoff to a busy September of fashion, London Couture continues to bring amazing evenings of fashion to Tacoma. On Sept. 22, London Couture will be one of 40 local retailers and businesses at Shop ‘til You Drop.

Make a Scene Your Local Guide To South Sound Music

The Loch’s set to become major hot spot for live music

By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

While Tacoma’s nightlife options have been shrinking lately due to the closures of some area bars and lounges, a new music venue has taken over where Hell’s Kitchen used to be and it is getting off to a great start. The Loch’s officially opened just two weeks ago, but the buzz is building – and things have only just begun. “All the events just seem to get better and better,” said owner Lonnie Reed, who is also the former booking agent for Hell’s Kitchen. “It’s been cool.” He gives the bands that have performed there a good portion of the credit for The Loch’s starting off strongly. “They’re all really intelligent, hardworking people who know how to promote themselves and get people to come in. We have a really good scene in Tacoma for local music.” He also noted the solid base of Hell’s Kitchen customers who keep coming back, and he intends to keep them happy by putting the focus of The Loch’s on the music first and foremost. “I want it to be a music venue in the purest sense,” Reed explained. “This is the place where people can go for live music, not a bar

where bands play. The bar comes second; the music comes first.” While Hell’s Kitchen enjoyed nearly 10 years as the city’s premiere venue for heavy metal and punk rock, Reed said he will keep these genres of music in the new club’s line-up and expand to include indie rock, progressive rock and hip-hop as well. “As long as it provides a crowd, you want it in the club. We’re definitely adding a lot of different shows from different walks of life.” Reed said he would see to it that bands are paid cash for their time, which is not always the case for struggling musicians. “Every band that’s played in my venue the last four shows has gotten paid,” Reed said, noting that such a fair policy will be good for business. “If you take care of bands and take care of the customers, the rest takes care of itself.” Reed and his partner Meranda Fritz have big plans for the interior of the establishment as well, such as lightening up the atmosphere, adding fresh paint to the walls and other cosmetic improvements. Soon a sign will be put in place outside. After this weekend, The Loch’s will close up for a few days to allow workers inside to get busy on some

renovations. The food offerings will be shaken up as well, Reed said. “The menu will be simple and lighter. I don’t want it to be labeled ‘bar food.’” He said the menu will feature more deli-style sandwiches and fish and chips, among other offerings. Reed said the building’s owners knowingly took a risk by replacing one bar business with another given the current economic climate that has been taking down other Tacoma bars and lounges, but with The Loch’s being primarily a live music venue, Reed feels the masses will come and keep the business going. “It was more of an emotional thing for them than a business decision,” he said of the building’s owners, who wanted to keep the Hell’s Kitchen legacy alive in some form or another. “It was a favor to keep this place going.”
