n 1885, Tacoma was a much darker place. Mobs, with the backing of the town mayor, the police chief and community leaders, rallied together to expel all Chinese residents from the city. Several died and Tacoma has since been left with a Chinese population with a painful past. Thankfully, Tacoma today is a much more accepting place. In 1993, the city council denounced the expulsion act and the city eventually established Chinese Reconciliation Park as a reminder of China’s history in the Pacific Northwest, which Minister of Chinese Affairs Qiu Yuan Ping visited on Sept. 21,
receiving a welcome from a delegation of diverse cultures from across the state “It is truly important for us to remember our history with the people of China, and to honor that history with this beautiful location,” Tacoma City Council Member Joe Lonergan said. The event was hosted by the Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation, a nonprofit organization that advances civic harmony by way of the Tacoma Chinese Reconciliation Park. They presented the minister and her staff with a railroad spike, a symbol of the gratitude the city has for Chinese immigrants’ work on the railways.

XI JINPING MIGHT BE GONE, BUT
CHINESE EVENTS CONTINUE By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s stop off at Tacoma’s Lincoln High School might be over, but the celebration of his historic visit continues. Xi’s visit Wednesday brought international media attention to Tacoma and Puget Sound in general, but his tour of the area sparked a celebration of all things Chinese, with dance performances and art unveilings. The Soochow University Student Art Performing Troupe of dancers, musicians
and martial artists, for example, will be held at 5 p.m., Friday, Sept. 25, in University of Puget Sound’s Rasmussen Rotunda. A reception will follow, allowing visitors a chance to meet the student performers. The performance includes 10 programs that will give a brief view of China's history, major artistic forms, cultural diversity and geographical variety. The dances and marital arts will be accompanied by musicians playing traditional Chinese musical instruments, such as the pipa, erhu and flute, in a u See EVENTS / page A9

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK
N 'I' and 3rd Street Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the residents know 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.� In 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of roads riddled with holes, and continue those efforts. 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.

DETAILS OF NEW AQUARIUM TO BE DISCUSSED AT PUBLIC MEETINGS Two public meetings are set this month to discuss details of the new aquarium scheduled to open at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in the summer of 2018. The approximately 34,000-square-foot structure is in the design and development stage and will be built as a replacement for the aging and deteriorating North Pacific Aquarium, which opened in 1963. It will be paid for with funds approved by voters in 2014 as part of a $198 million Metro Parks Tacoma bond measure. Construction is expected to begin next summer. The new aquarium will contain several galleries dedicated to marine animals found in Puget Sound and in the near and far reaches of the Pacific Ocean. Members of the public can learn details about the site, planning and design for the new aquarium during two public meetings: 5-6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28 at Metro Parks Tacoma headquarters, 4702 S. 19th St. Zoo officials and representatives from EHDD, the architectural firm designing the aquarium, will make a presentation to the Board of Park Commissioners during a public review and study session. This meeting will include an open house for public viewing of drawings and other information at 5 p.m. and a board study session at 5:30 p.m. Members of the public who wish to share their views on the project may do so during the public comment period of the regular board meeting, which begins at 6 p.m. 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30 at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, North Pacific Aquarium, 5400 N. Pearl St. Zoo officials and representatives of EHDD will provide an additional opportunity for members of the public to learn about the new aquarium and ask questions about the construction process and timeline. Both meetings will feature information about where the new aquarium will be located on zoo grounds, its size, and exciting details about the various galleries of marine animals that will be included in it. The new aquarium project is part of Metro Parks' Destination Point Defiance, a long-term planning initiative for Point Defiance Park. Learn more at: pdza.org/ newaquarium. TACOMA FILM FESTIVAL SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED The Tacoma Film Festival schedule is now available online at www.TacomaFilmFestival.com and in print at locations around Tacoma. Hosted by The Grand Cinema, TFF celebrates nearly every genre of independent film from the Northwest and around the world by presenting special screenings and events held in venues across Tacoma October 8-15. Tickets are now on sale for all TFF 2015 films and special events. With more than one hundred diverse and eclectic films ranging from features, shorts, documentaries, animated films, thrillers, dramas, and comedies, the 10th annual Tacoma Film Festival offers a multitude of entertainment choices over the span of its eight-day run in Tacoma. “This year truly offers something for everyone,� said Laura Marshall, the festival’s director. “Each year the overall quality of films that TFF showcases gets even better as the number of submissions we receive rises dramatically. This year’s films reflect the best and brightest films from the more than 1,000 submissions we reviewed.� Some of the festival director’s top recommended films include short film packages such as “Local Flavor Part I & II,� featuring short films from around the Pacific Northwest; “Sports Docs,� highlighting diversity within sports and athleticism; and “Couples Therapy,� a collection of shorts that deconstruct passion, attraction, love, and friendship. Other noteworthy films include a mockumentary about a group of strangers who decide to give up their modern lives to live in a medieval village (“The Village of Middlevale�), a thriller about a man who suspects the threat of malevolent shape-shifters (“They Look Like People�) and a large array of documentary features encompassing everything from the artistic, the inspiring, and the weird to the serious. Two of the featured documentaries share poignant Northwest stories: one film follows a working-class boy who perseveres to become the international drag superstar Jinkx Monsoon (“Drag Becomes Him�), and the second is the story of Marco Collins, one of America’s last great rock radio DJs and musical tastemakers (“The Glamour and the Squalor�). Also unique to TFF this year is the incorporation of “25 New Faces,� a festival program that gives attendees the opportunity to not only watch films created by the latest honorees of Filmmaker Magazine, but also to meet and learn from these filmmakers. Some of this year’s 25 New Faces will present films that highlight social justice issues like poverty, race, police conflict, native culture, and family dynamics. Others have created works with a lighthearted bent, like “Creative Control,� a film about a man who developed an avatar of his best friend’s girlfriend. Lastly, TFF features exciting secret screenings that give audience members the chance to see films that have not yet premiered anywhere in the United States and will appear at TFF under the radar. Film titles will remain a mystery until the theater lights dim, but tickets are available now. VIP passes go on sale to the general public on September 18. Passes include unlimited TFF movie nights, some special events, and a TFF swag bag ($150).
Applications for press credentials must be received no later than Friday, Sept. 25 and approved press will be notified no later than Thursday, Oct. 1. Tickets for the Tacoma Film Festival are available now at The Grand’s Box Office (606 S Fawcett Ave., Tacoma 98402), or online at tacomafilmfestival.com.

BREAST DIAGNOSTIC PATIENTS EMPOWERED FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws near, Breast Diagnostic Center is finalizing plans to dedicate October to inspiring women to take charge of their health while supporting a local non-profit. “Empowered for Life: Women Standing Up for Early Detection� is a month-long event created to educate women on the value of annual mammograms beginning at age 40 and raise awareness for the importance of early breast cancer detection. This theme is not just an annual message at Breast Diagnostic, which opened in 1980. Drs. Tim Blackwelder and Mike Ulissey reiterate the critical importance of early detection on a regular basis; both doctors speak to community organizations and business groups as part of the company’s education and outreach program. Ulissey says, “Early detection saves lives. Yearly mammograms save more lives.� Breast Diagnostic was the first center in the region to offer 3D mammography to all patients and leads the industry in patient-focused care. “Empowered for Life� runs Oct. 1-31 at Breast Diagnostic’s Federal Way and Auburn offices. Patients who come in for any exam during the month will be entered to win a prize for taking a proactive approach to health. Additionally, paper dolls will be available for purchase to either honor or remember a loved one who has faced breast cancer. Paper dolls are $1 to display in a Breast Diagnostic office or $5 for a feature on the company’s website and social media channels. All proceeds will be donated to Valley Girls and Guys. Located in Ravensdale, Wash., Valley Girls and Guys is now the largest Susan G. Komen 3-Day team in the country, with participation from members in Washington, California and Minnesota. The group has grown into an independent non-profit providing cancer patients with blankets and other support services, regardless of diagnosis. Valley is currently working on Who House, which will provide respite for patients, families and caregivers. Everyone is welcome to stop into either Breast Diagnostic location and purchase a paper doll. Both offices are open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Breast Diagnostic’s Federal Way facility is located inside the Omni Building at 909 S. 336th St., Suite B-101 and the Auburn office is in the East Main Professional Building at 1268 E. Main St., Suite 1. Visit www.breastdiagnostic.com for more information about 3D mammography and other imaging studies available to patients. Scheduling is now open for October; appointments for screening and diagnostic mammograms can be booked by calling (253) 735-1991. To learn more about Valley Girls & Guys, visit www.valleygirlsandguys. com or the organization’s fan page at www.facebook.com. For interviews, images or questions, please contact Jamie McCormack at (253) 735-1991, ext. 206, or Jamie@ breastdiagnostic.com.

HOMELESSNESS CAUSE AND EFFECT WANTED By Paul Pastor
Pierce County Sheriff
“Let the cops handle it.” That has become the all too frequent refrain repeated by legislators at the local, state and national level. It is their fallback position when they don’t have the resources, PAUL PASTOR the energy or the courage to deal with issues that come before them. It is a variation of the “kick the can down the road” or “don’t bother asking me to address tough questions” approach which unfortunately passes for governing in America today. There are a number of real problems that confront our communities for which elected officials seem to avert their eyes as they call 911. Mental illness, homelessness, drug policy and immigration are four prime examples. They can be related to one another. The quick-fix of “let the cops handle it” offers the illusion of taking a stand while policy makers pass the buck without making change. Recently, there has been concern expressed about homeless populations in our community. These populations have grown in recent years and it is useful to examine why if we are serious about solving problems rather than just being “concerned about the issue.” We, in law enforcement, are sometimes blunt. So let’s cut to the chase. In America, we often misrepresent homeless as being about lack of economic opportunity and poverty. In fact, homelessness in America today is largely about two issues: mental health and substance abuse. These factors, more than any others, differentiate the homeless poor from the vast majority of people in poverty. Study after study tells us that people
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REAL PROBLEMS THAT CONFRONT OUR COMMUNITIES FOR WHICH ELECTED OFFICIALS SEEM TO AVERT THEIR EYES AS THEY CALL 911. with serious mental health issues and addiction to alcohol or drugs or a combination of mental illness plus substance addiction is present in more than 70 percent of the people who we call “homeless.” Imbalanced brain chemistry fuels homelessness. The sad truth is that if we give most homeless a grant of thousands of dollars and substantially change their economic situation, within a month they will be back on the street and sleeping under bridges. The last few years have been very difficult economically. People have lost jobs and lost medical coverage and lost the wherewithal to seek mental health / substance abuse treatment. At the same time, government cutbacks in mental health programs mean that mental hospital beds have closed and there are fewer and fewer affordable places to seek treatment for serious mental and addiction-based problems. The result has driven the growth of homeless populations in America. Some people believe that having law enforcement herd homeless people from place to place is the way to deal with homelessness. I would submit that those whose brain chemicals are out of balance and who therefore are sleeping on the street will not opt out of a homeless lifestyle because they are displaced from one vacant lot or one street corner. The problem will simply relocate and re-emerge. Don’t get me wrong. This is not about soft-hearted compassion. This is about hard-headed and practical reality. Chasing the homeless from place to place is a temporary non-solution to a real problem which
resides at the intersection of public order and public health. People who study homelessness see it as more than a problem of people being willful and disorderly. This is why, over the past 10 years, an approach known as “housing first” has grown in popularity. This approach seeks to settle homeless people in a place where they may legally reside and then to work intensively to get them into treatment including periods of hospitalization. The piecemeal approach we have taken to dealing with the visible and untreated mentally ill and those who abuse alcohol and drugs has fueled a growth in mentally ill inmates in our jails. These people are costly to house in jail because they present a wide array of medical and behavioral problems. And their mental health often deteriorates further in jail environments. So does this make me a bleeding heart? Not by a long shot. I do not think that communities benefit when large numbers of the mentally ill are wandering around untreated. But I favor smart, effective and costefficient approaches in order to have safer, more civil and more orderly community. There will always be a need to involve law enforcement in public order maintenance problems. But I do not believe that simply chasing intractable problems around the County is an effective use of already extremely thin law enforcement resources. We will step up to be a part of the solution. But to suggest that law enforcement action alone is a viable substitute for our neglected and broken mental health system, well, that’s just plain crazy.
IN TACOMA: ANNA KAPESI
By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox
Tacoma Police are looking for Anna Kapesi. She pled guilty on April 9 to three counts of identity theft in the first degree and one count of theft in the first degree but then didn’t show up for her sentencing. A judge has issued a bench warrant for her arrest. “Through a friend of a friend, she was able to obtain a debit card and fraudulently use it over a period of time and in that time she stole well over $25,000,” said Officer Loretta Cool with Tacoma Police. Kapesi is 5-feet 4-inches tall and 160 lbs. If you know where she is, Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Call the hotline anonymously at 1 (800) 222-8477.
STORIES ON PROSECUTOR FINDS OFFICER’S USE OF DEADLY FORCE LAWFUL TOP tacomaweekly.com Independent and concurrent investigations by the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office and Tacoma Police Department regarding the shooting death of Stephen Wyman Cunningham, 48, have been completed. Cunningham died from gunshot wounds inflicted by Tacoma Police Officer Jimmy Welsh. Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist concluded the death was justifiable homicide under state law. On May 10, 2015, Officers Welsh and Angela Hayes responded to a noise complaint at a home on South Proctor in Tacoma. They heard loud music and mul-
tiple voices coming from inside the home. The officers knocked on the front door, announced themselves as police officers, and stood in front of a window so the occupants could see they were the police. Through the window, they saw Cunningham look at them and then walk towards a sliding glass door at the rear of the house. He then turned around and moved quickly towards a coffee table. The officers saw him pick up a handgun, so they retreated and announced “man with a gun” over the radio. A short time later, Cunningham exited the house, still armed with the gun. Officer Welsh identified himself as a police officer
and ordered Cunningham to drop the gun. Cunningham pointed the gun at Officer Welsh. Fearing for his life, Officer Welsh fired multiple rounds at Cunningham, striking him several times. Cunningham died at the scene. “This is another example of the dangers law enforcement officers face,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “Even a routine call can turn deadly.” According to Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Clark, Cunningham died from a gunshot wound to his chest. Dr. Clark also determined Cunningham had a blood alcohol level of .15, nearly twice the legal limit, at the time of his death.

Our View
TACOMA’S FUTURE remAINS lINked tO ItS PASt There are few times in a city’s history when it becomes clear that its past shapes its future. This is one of those times, for better or worse. The big news of the week was the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Tacoma’s Lincoln High School on Wednesday and the news of a deal to expand a methanol conversion facility on the tideflats for Asian markets. Jinping was no stranger to Tacoma, however, since he visited the City of Destiny back when he was a regional Communist Party official in 1993 and came to town as Tacoma was forming a sister city relationship with Fuzhou, China. But his standing as president now brings international attention to the city, one with an unfriendly history in regard to its treatment of Chinese residents. It was, after all, 130 years ago that Tacoma gained worldwide condemnation for its “Tacoma Method� of forcibly expelling some 600 Chinese immigrants in a matter of hours, all under the organizational eyes of city leaders. That night in 1885 is the reason why Tacoma remains the only port city on the West Coast without a Chinatown and also the reason Tacomans built Chinese Reconciliation Park along the waterfront. We can’t change the past, but we can attempt to make amends and move forward. In other historical ties to the city’s future, the landmark Old City Hall is prepping for a makeover after years of being allowed to fall into disrepair by private developers. The city is seeking proposals to renovate and reinvigorate the picturesque facility not only to preserve the city’s crowning jewel, that comes complete with an iconic clocktower, but to continue the city’s march toward offering a more vibrant, dynamic and livable downtown. It will join the nearby former Elks Lodge, which is being renovated as a brewpub and entertainment venue, and the Winthrop Hotel, which is also undergoing an extensive reinvigoration to create a booming downtown. And of course, there was the "re-premiere" of “Eyes of the Totem,� a silent movie that was filmed by Tacoma’s own H.C. Weaver Studio and screened around the nation only to disappear for more than 80 years. It was found and restored last year thanks to donations large and small that enabled the movie to be shown last week on the same screen it first premiered, at the historic Rialto Theater in 1927. More than 1,500 people attended the largely sold out showings, suggesting that the city’s past is not just a matter for researchers and history buffs. Tacomans once thought that its stock of historic buildings was hampering its future by clogging up otherwise prime real estate with decaying structures. But it is increasingly clear that its future will involve those same structures for generations to come.

SIlver mININg hAS A SIlver lININg By Don C. Brunell Remember the old saying, “Out of sight out of mind?� How about, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you?� Both of these axioms are problematic today, especially when it comes to things we need for our everyday lives. Here’s why. Recently, a botched cleanup job by a federal EPA contractor made headlines. The crew accidentally breached the wall of a containment pond at the Gold King Mine near Durango, Colorado, sending three million gallons of mustard-tinged muck down the Animas River. Now the EPA has stopped work on 10 old mining ponds to avoid another Gold King disaster and some would use it is as a poster child to simply stop all mining operations. But in this case, what you don’t know DOES hurt you. Take silver mining, for example. Silver has been mined for centuries. Some may think of it only as a precious metal used in jewelry, coins and silverware. Others use it as a hedge against the collapse of a country’s currency system. To some, silver’s value to society has diminished over time. For example, with the advent of digital photography, silver’s use in film processing is largely gone. And dentists who once used silver for fillings now fill most teeth with porcelain. But silver is more than that.
Today, we need silver for solar panels, wind turbines, smartphones, super conductors and electronic components. Lesser known is the fact that, because of silver’s antibacterial properties, it is used in bandages, water purification and treating wood to prevent mold. Even your cellphone covers are treated with silver to reduce the spread of bacteria. Just as modern technology has evolved, silver mining bears little resemblance to “the old days.� Mining has changed since the days of booming mining towns like Wallace, Idaho. Wallace, the town with the last stoplight on the interstate, is the hub of the Silver Valley mining and houses one of the world’s largest silver deposits. More than 1.2 billion ounces of silver has been mined and smelted in that area. But most of that occurred before the advent of the federal Clean Water Act in 1972 and the Silver Valley is dealing with the consequences. The old silver smelter has been demolished and the area is now an EPA superfund site. Mining continues in northern Idaho, but on a smaller scale. But mines were not alone in irresponsibly dumping waste and causing environmental damage. Before the Clean Water Act became law, municipal sewerage was routinely flushed into our rivers, lakes and oceans. At one time, 14 towns and cities in
King County discharged 20 million gallons of inadequately treated sewage into Lake Washington every day. In fact, the cleanup of Lake Washington was a key impetus for the new law. Behavior that was once routine is no longer tolerated. Today, if someone tries to skirt the law, they are shut down, fined and sometimes sent to jail. The struggle today is that many people still have an image of mining from the old days. They presume that such metals are not as essential as they once were, and not worth the environmental risk. The Wallace Chamber of Commerce is attempting to change that perception. It has set up a visitor center just west of town along an I-90 exit. The displays detail all that we don’t know about silver mining today and why silver is important in our everyday lives. While most people will speed by the Wallace visitor center, policy makers need to understand the true value of silver and how prevalent it is in our lives. Our key competitors around the world do!

rAPe ON cAmPuS:
guNS Are NOt the ANSwer
By Laura Finley, Ph.D
Several days ago, the Miami Herald published an editorial from a college student who argued that allowing students on college campuses to carry concealed weapons was not only a constitutional right but would help prevent rape. While I appreciate her passion for the subject and am saddened to read about anyone’s victimization, this position is deeply problematic. I don’t wish to take up the constitutional argument here, but I cannot in good conscience fail to respond to the argument that a woman with a gun can prevent a rapist from sexually assaulting her. First, studies do not bear out that arming women helps prevent sexual assault or domestic and dating violence. In part, this is because most frequently sexual assault occurs within a dating relationship. Since most victims are not only “acquainted� with their assailant but are actually in a relationship of sorts with them, it is unlikely that they will arm themselves with a weapon before heading out for the night with their partner. Thus the weapon would do no good. Further, since most sexual assaults occur when students (both offenders and victims) are under the influence of alcohol, having a gun involved is unlikely to make things better. In fact, numerous studies have found that guns actually make the situation worse. Far worse. Even when the disinhibiting and aggression-promoting effects of alcohol are not a factor. Studies show that women are far more likely to be murdered with a handgun than kill
a stranger in self-defense. In fact, 300 times more likely. Rape rates are consistently higher in states where gun ownership is also higher. A woman is 83 times more likely to be killed by an intimate partner than to kill him in self-defense. The presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation has been estimated to increase the risk of homicide (to the victim of sexual attack, largely) 500 percent. Because of our easy access to guns, a woman in the U.S. is 11 times more likely to be murdered with a firearm than are women in other high-income countries. I could go on, but there’s no need. Data is entirely clear on this issue: Guns are far more likely to be used against victims of sexual assault than by them, escalating harm instead of attenuating it. Add to the equation that allowing concealed weapons on campus can only confuse the first responders, who don’t know the context or details of the situation, and will inevitably incite fear and trepidation amongst other faculty and students who worry about nervous people packing heat, and the result is a powderkeg that is based on rhetoric, not reality. But, the rhetoric is powerful and backed by the full financial and propaganda power of the National Rifle Association (NRA). For instance, one Nevada lawmaker asserted earlier this year that “young, hot little girls on campus� should arm themselves to prevent being raped. Not only do her comments reek of very odd sexism, they also promote a very dangerous form of victim-blaming which suggests that it is not the responsibility of rapists to
resist offending but rather the wouldbe victim from being a target. We will never end rape when we continue to tell women it is their responsibility to avoid it. There is only one culpable party to any rape: the rapist. In Florida, State Representative Dennis K. Baxley argued, “If you’ve got a person that’s raped because you wouldn’t let them carry a firearm to defend themselves, I think you’re responsible.� If Baxley wanted to reiterate the responsibility of campuses to prevent rape that would be fantastic, but that is not the case. Instead, he also took blame from the perpetrators by holding accountable everyone but the rapist. What campuses need to do is address the fact that rape is a crime that offenders choose to commit because they are immersed in the broader rape culture. Programs, policies and laws that put the ownership for change on victims play into this very culture, and as such, can never be truly effective. Rather than changing the perceived target, we need to change the motivation of the offender. The best programs address the nuances of relationships, focus on helping people set boundaries and communicate effectively with one another, and help others learn and be motivated to stand up and speak up when they see or hear something that is potentially dangerous. Let’s move from rhetoric to reality so that we can actually prevent rape on campus.

turned his personal struggle with suicide into a passion for helping others know they are not alone in their own struggles. By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com
In partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the Puyallup Tribe’s Kwawachee Counseling Center and the South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency (SPIPA) are joining forces to participate in Tacoma’s very first Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Saturday, Oct. 10 at Wright Park. This Walk, like those held across the country, will bring together family, friends, colleagues and supporters in the fight against suicide. The Walk is open to anyone who wishes to join in – adults, children and even pets are all welcome to come and take part in this important event. While there is no cost to participate, when you walk in the Out of the Darkness Community Walk you join the effort with hundreds of thousands of people to raise awareness and funds that allow AFSP to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy and support survivors of suicide loss. If you would like to raise money, $150 will get you get a free T-shirt. Donations are being accepted now at tinyurl.com/ode9t3d, with the goal being set at $25,000. Online registration for the Tacoma Walk closes at noon on Friday, Oct. 9. However, anyone who would like to participate can register in person at the Walk from the time checkin begins at 9 a.m. until the Walk starts at 10 a.m. Walk donations are accepted until December 31, 2015. This is the first time the Walk

will be held in Tacoma, with Seattle having been the host city in past years. “I’m really excited that it’s going to be in Tacoma,” said SPIPA Interim Site Manager Colette August. “It’s a way for people to get together in a really positive way.” For August, her link to the subject of suicide is very personal. “I lost my mom in 1997 to suicide,” she said. “One of my relatives’ second mom died of suicide and one of my uncles.” August will be walking with a team of five people, all of whose lives have been touched by suicide. Jesse Pasquan is chair of the organizing committee for the Tacoma Walk. “Last year I was team captain of the Bellingham Walk and I was pushing the Washington State chapter to get a walk going in Tacoma,” he said. For Pasquan, the subject of suicide is close to him. “It was a personal struggle for me,” he revealed, as the idea of suicide became real for him when he came out as gay to his religious family. “As committee chair, I’ll be speaking at the Walk and other committee members will give their brief stories too.” He noted that various informational tables will be set up at the Walk, including the Tacoma Rainbow Center and Oasis Youth Center (for LGBT and questioning youth). Aimee Wagonblast
MN, ARNP, a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Cascade Counseling who works with the Nisqually Tribe, will also speak about the personal and medical aspects of suicide.
SAVE THE DATE
International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is Saturday, Nov. 21, the one day a year when people affected by suicide loss gather around the world at events in their local communities to find comfort and gain understanding as they share stories of healing and hope. Here in Tacoma, International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day will be commemorated Nov. 21 at the Kwawachee Spirit House. The event will be tailored to the Native American community, with Native panelists speaking on suicide loss and a screening of the new Survivor Day documentary produced by AFSP entitled “Family Journeys: Healing and Hope after a Suicide.” For many loss survivors, attending a Survivor Day event is the first time they realize they are not alone. Just hearing the stories – from people at all stages of healing – can be helpful. The gathering also provides participants with a chance to share their own stories with those who understand firsthand the challenges of living in the aftermath of a suicide loss.

Mountain View Memorial Park celebrates its 100th anniversary with a range of free activities and events for the community on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Among the many family friendly events is a photographic exhibit inside Mountain View’s Celebration of Life Center entitled “Tacoma: 100 Years of Progress,” featuring rare historic images of Tacoma from the 1900s through 1950s. Canvas-mounted images will be available for purchase through a silent auction, with proceeds supporting the Lakewood Historical Society. Guided historical tours of the facility will take place on an hourly basis each day with stories highlighting the park’s history and a few of its more notable residents. Founded in 1915 by James Richard Thompson, Mountain View represents a rich heritage that includes being the second memorial park in the United States to incorporate a funeral home on cemetery grounds. Today, Mountain View occupies 160 acres in Lakewood. “This milestone would not have been possible without the ongoing support of our customers, our employees and local residents,” said Clarke Thomson, general manager of Mountain View Memorial Park. “It’s the century-long relationship with our community we’re really celebrating.” Since Mountain View’s first service in 1915, more than 100,000 people have been laid to rest, including such notables as Edgar N. Eisenhower, a lawyer and older brother of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and well-known business icons Marcus Nalley of Nalley Fine Foods; Cheney Lumber Co. founder, Ben u See MOUNTAIN VIEW / page A7

bUSINESS SPOTLIGHT From page A1
Only Councilmember Anders Ibsen opposed the reappointment, and Mayor Marilyn Strickland was absent to attend activities involving the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping. The vote came after a split parade of commenters. Residents largely opposed the reconfirmation over concerns about Gaines’ handling of a proposal to lease the utility’s Click Cable TV Network and its $200 million fiber optic network to a private company for the next 40 years rather than have it remain a municipally managed fiber optic network and cable television provider. Business groups, namely the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, the Economic Development Board and the Tacoma-Pierce County Association of Realtors endorsed Gaines because of the overall performance of Tacoma utilities to keep water and power rates among the lowest in the region as well as maintain a strong credit rating and promote confirmation efforts. Gaines became the director of Tacoma Public Utilities in 2007, after serving briefly as Tacoma Power superintendent. He will face another confirmation vote in two years, as outlined in the city’s charter change that requires that the City Council reconfirm or fire the TPU director every two years. But even with the confirmation, councilmembers held that the announcement and public process that followed concerning a proposal to lease Click to Wave Broadband earlier this year for $3 million a year for 40 years was mishandled and illustrates a long-running disconnect between the City Council and the Tacoma Public Utility. The proposal, for example, was developed from TPU’s efforts to keep Click from losing $7 million to $9 million a year, a figure that is a matter of dispute involving shared costs and debt repayment between Click and the rest of the utility. “I think we have to take some of that responsibility,” Deputy Mayor David Boe said, suggesting the city establish some sort of task force to fully study options to keep Click Network a municipal asset rather than lease it out, or to at least get the best lease deal possible. TPU had announced the Wave proposal with a tight deadline before it would be withdrawn, only to then hold public meetings about the plan that bubbled up a counter offer from locally owned Rainier Connect. That second offer raised questions from many Click supporters that TPU failed to do its due diligence before backing the Wave lease proposal. “We still have lots of work to do on Click,” Boe said. As part of the reconfirmation process, the City Council outlined a roster of goals Gaines must address before his 2017 review comes due. Those include improving communication between the utility and the council, briefings council committees at least quarterly and aligning TPU’s long-range and legislative goals with those of the city. “This is not about Click,” Councilmember Lauren Walker said. “It is about many different things. This is not a rubber stamp by any stretch of the imagination.”

highlight of the new store is the walk-in cooler that features dozens of different types of beer. (Below) Manzanares was excited to realize his new store has a “12” in the address, giving him all the justification he needed to theme the store in Seahawks colors. By Derek Shuck derek@tacomaweekly.com
William Manzanares is not a business owner that likes to rest on his laurels. Since opening the original Smokin’ Willy’s location at 3008 72nd St E. two years ago, he has rapidly expanded to open a brand new second store, located at 6212 29th St. NE, and he apparently has no intention of slowing down. While another store isn’t on the horizon (for now,) Manzanares is looking to make the new location a one-stop shop for residents of northeast Tacoma. Smokin' Willy's stocks not only smokes, but a large variety of beer, coffee and snacks. “It’s always possible to keeping expanding,” he said. Manzanares decided to expand on his alcohol selection after his two-door freezer at his other location proved to be a successful venture and, like everything else, he decided to make it bigger and better. He currently has a whole walk-in cooler full of what he and his employees estimate to be over 100 different kinds of beer. “There’s no other selection like
this anywhere in the area for beer,” Manzanares said. Originally, Manzanares’ goal was just to get the new store off the ground, but now he is focusing the business inward, and his new goal is to create a work environment everyone can enjoy, with happy employees equaling happy customers. “I had all these goals setting up the store and that happened, then we focused on this store and expansion.

Now my new goal, my future goal, I want to have the best company in the area to work for,” he said. “If I’ve accomplished all these other goals, I have no problem knowing I can accomplish that.” This dedication to support employees and customers is what gives Smokin’ Willy’s its edge. “It’s our crew, it’s our atmosphere, and I can stand behind that we have the friendliest crew of any store I’ve been to. That’s what I’ve been focusing on,” Manzanares said. “That’s why we’ve had a lot of expansion. “ You also won’t have any trouble finding the new location. Just drive down 29th and look for the Seahawks blue and green. As a big Hawks fan, Manzanares is pumped to have a blue and green trim business to show his support.

AP SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER IS TRANSFORMING LIVES AT LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL

Back to school means many different things to many different children. To some, it is a time to see friends that have faded away in the endless days of summer, and to others it’s a solemn return to structure after months of adventuring. To others it’s a time of stress, and their concern lies in whether or not they will even have the proper supplies to attend and do well. It’s this group of kids that Andrew Roberts and the residents of his Townhomes at Mountain View were thinking of when they did a donation drive for school supplies, which they presented to the Puyallup School district on Sept 18. “We’re just trying to be a bigger part of the Puyallup community, and I think the schools are a good place to start,” Roberts said. “Plus it’s interesting to me to hear that some kids don’t have paper and pencils and things like that, and it has to come by donation. So why not us?” Townhomes at Mountain View consists of three rental multifamily communities in Puyallup. Management put together a big resident barbeque and asked attendees to donate school supplies. From there, Roberts and his team began coordinating with the district, analyzing what was needed and relaying the information to donors. “We just kept asking residents to donate and they did, so it worked out well,” Roberts said. Roberts worked with Jan Mauk of Communities in Schools in Puyallup

to help determine where the need was. The group works with schools in the Puyallup School District as a dropout prevention program, providing at-risk students with important services such as tutoring and after school programs, and has come to learn that the first step in ensuring success is making sure children have the supplies they need to succeed. “We target kids in need and supply community resources such as school supplies and food,” Mauk said. “We have coordinators in some of the schools that work directly with the kids at risk. In the schools where we don’t have coordinators, we work with councilors to find the need.” The cart of backpacks and

Nathan Gibbs-Bowling was named Washington’s 2016 Teacher of the Year at an awards ceremony Sept. 21. State Superintendent Randy Dorn congratulated the nine Regional Teachers of the Year and announced the State Teacher GIBBS-BOWLING of the Year at EMP Museum. The event was hosted by EMP and the Charles Beresford Company. Superintendent Dorn praised the group saying, “Nathan and the 2016 Teachers of the Year are great examples of the deep caring educators have for their students and communities. This is not just a job for them. It is a calling. They put everything they have into helping their students learn because they know student success affects the whole community.” Dorn continued, “They all have great big hearts, and although they are definitely experts in their subjects, they also realize at the end of the day, they don’t teach math or English or social studies. They teach kids.” Program sponsors PEMCO Insurance, SMART Technologies, and Saxton Bradley, Inc. each donated cash awards, technology prizes and scholarships for classroom improvements for both Gibbs-Bowling and the Regional Teachers of the Year. Gibbs-Bowling is starting his 10th year of teaching in Tacoma. He currently teaches AP Government and Human Geography at Lincoln High where colleagues describe him as a cultivator of student minds. Nathan became a teacher because of his belief that education is perhaps the greatest transformational force for individuals and communities. He strives as a teacher to make the impossible become possible for his students. Gibbs-Bowling’s students are actively engaged in the democratic process through action and critical thinking and pass the AP exam at a rate three times the district average. Two years ago he started the first freshman AP course in the district. As a colleague, Gibbs-Bowling challenges teachers to take up the mantel of leadership and embrace the opportunity to create real change that their profession affords. He reminds us that research shows students do best when great teachers are clustered together and is a strong advocate for high-quality, collaborative professional development. He insists that teachers, systems, and communities must create solutions that put students’ needs above all else and is not shy about sharing these beliefs and convictions with statewide leaders. Visitors to Gibbs-Bowling’s classroom emerge awestruck by his knack for providing strong leadership and direction while letting the students do the majority of the talking. Much of his success can be attributed to his skill at relationship building, which has its roots in his deep commitment to the com-

So if they don’t have the right tools obviously they aren’t going to be able to do their job as a student as well. It also levels the playing field for those that come without,” Mauk said.

He was later buried with full military honors after his remains were uncovered more than 40 years after his death.

LINK EXPANSION GAINS $2 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
P
lans to expand Tacoma’s Link light rail from its downtown stretch to Hilltop got a boost from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), which awarded a $2 million grant that will fund transit-oriented development planning efforts along the future route. The grant will help the city foster smart, affordable development along the expanded light rail line that will stretch from the current terminus on Commerce Street up the hill to Martin Luther King Jr. Way. “Transit-oriented development is critical to the success of new projects and to the economy of the local communities they serve,� said FTA Acting Administrator Therese McMillan in a release announcing the grant. “These grants will help communities like Tacoma develop a transportation system that encourages people to use transit to reach jobs, education, medical care, housing and other vital services that they need.� Tacoma is one of just 21 planning projects across the country to receive federal funding from the $19.5 million grant pool. “This grant helps ensure that the Link truly lives up to its name – connecting people all across Tacoma,� said U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer (WA-06). “This .+

investment will go a long way toward respecting the character of our unique neighborhoods and making sure the process of expansion is one that includes all citizens. With it we can make sure that the positive changes the Link brings translate to progress for everyone.� The grant will help fund the City of Tacoma’s “Links to Opportunity� program to improve social and economic opportunities in the neighborhoods that an expanded Tacoma Link would serve. The program will also look at ways to improve pedestrian and bike access to the six stations along the route that will run 2.4 miles from the Theater District to the Stadium neighborhood and to Hilltop neighborhoods with six new stations and one relocated station. The current route runs 1.6 miles from the Tacoma Dome Station to the Theater District. “The Tacoma Link expansion will improve transportation options for the Hilltop’s residents, commuters, and pedestrians,� said Sound Transit Vice Chair and Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. “This matched grant can help improve mobility and enhance the neighborhood.� News of the grant is the latest in the funding drive to pay for the Hilltop expansion.

which is still under Congressional review. About $18 million in additional grants have already been secured for the project along with $50 million in Sound Transit funds as part of the 2008 voterapproved transportation package. Sound Transit and the City of Tacoma are still working to secure the balance of the funds. Preliminary engineering on the project is wrapping up while the Sound Transit Board will formally select the project to be built. Construction is expected to start as early as 2017 or 2018, and slated to take up to four years to complete. Working estimates put the final cost of the expansion at $165 million, leaving the final tally of about $22 million yet to be funded through grants and other sources. As the final push for funding of the Link expansions continues, initial plans for a third expansion are working their way to the ballot box. Sound Transit is developing a roster of transportation projects that would be funded under a third ballot measure voters could see on their ballots next November. Local projects in the threecounty pacakage being considered include expanding light rail from Federal Way to the Tacoma Dome Station, either along Interstate 5 or State Route 99, extending light rail from the Tacoma Dome to Tacoma Mall, or to Tacoma

Hayward gave a traditional welcome and Puyallup Tribal Council Member Sylvia Miller draped Qiu in the tribe’s signature Pendleton blanket. The tribe also gave several gifts to not only the delegate, but her entire traveling council. “We are so glad to share these lands with you. We’d like to welcome you to our lands and hope that we will be able to work together in preserving and protecting these lands. It’s so important that each one of our cultures be kept forever,� Miller said to Qiu. “This blanket is gifted with lots of love and warmth to keep her well wherever she may travel.� Tacoma schools were also represented by various leaders in the field, making it clear that Tacoma schools will ensure that the youth of the future will not make the same mistakes as Tacomans of the past. “We are an international city, and the school district should reflect that. One of the things we want to do as a school district is strengthen and deepen our relationships with Chinese students and our students and keeping our international theme as a city,� former Tacoma Mayor and current Tacoma School Board Member Karen Vialle said. “We are building the foundation with our young people so that their generation will grow up knowing each other as friends and understanding that differences can be discussed and friendship can still continue.� Students from the University of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran University were also in attendance, passing out American flags and making Qiu feel as welcome as possible, which warmed the minister’s heart. “Tacoma is such a beautiful place with mountains, water and spirit, wonderful chi,� Qiu said. “Lets hope that our work at Tacoma continues to progress and grow, and all groups of people, multicultural, come together.� Qiu was also impressed with the beauty of the park, and what it means for American-Chinese relations. “Although there is a sad history of Chinese expulsion, the community has come together for reconciliation for the Chinese expulsion,� Qiu said. The visit was a kick off for the Chinese cabinet’s visit to Tacoma, which also includes President Xi Jinping’s visit to Lincoln High School on Wednesday.
t City Hall Old City Hall spans 55,505 square feet spread over five stories that sit at the corner of Pacific Avenue and Commerce Street, next to a planned Link light rail station. The city released a request for proposals earlier this month with a deadline for detailed financial and development plans due by Oct. 30. The city wants plans to not only include ways to restore the 122year-old facility but how the new use of the former government building will fuel downtown’s economic growth. Old City Hall, at 625 S. Commerce St., had been vacant and falling into disrepair for years when the City Council voted to buy the clock-towered landmark

in June from the previous owners, The Stratford Co., in June for $4 million. The building had been appraised at just $1.6 million, but the council opted to pay more to gain control of the building sooner rather than continue to watch it fall further into disrepair. The city has since shored up a handful of safety issues, including repairs to a section of the roof that was leaking, stabilizing metal cornices and patching seven masonry arches that had showed signs of crumbling. “This iconic building, which epitomizes Tacoma’s civic pride and bright economic future, characterizes an important era in the city’s history,� according to the city’s request. “As

Hotels or offices that support companies/ organizations with financial strength and growth potential are strongly preferred.

The Winthrop is undergoing extensive renovations at a cost of about $15 million by Redwood Housing Partners, while McMenamins is spending an estimated $22 million to restore the former Elks Temple. The next step in the process of selecting a furture redeveloper comes Sept. 30, when city staff will give tours to prospective partners so developers can walk through the facility and have their specific questions answered as they develop their formal proposals. “We want to make sure people have full knowledge,� Tacoma’s Business Development Manager Elly said.

program that also includes modern musical elements. Dances will include “The Beauty of Peach Flower,� “A Journey to Suzhou,� and “Emperor Qin Calling up Troops,� as well as martial arts performances of Chinese kung fu, tai chi, the Nine-section Whip and Broadsword. The troupe’s visit is part of an annual cultural visit sponsored by the Confucius Institute Headquarters based in Beijing, and organized this year by University of Puget Sound’s Asian Studies Program. The Foss Waterway Seaport and City of Tacoma Arts Commission have also announced an exhibit of an important work of art by Chinese-American artist Hai Ying Wu at the Foss Waterway Seaport as part of the “Rails to Sails� exhibit currently on display. The artwork will be unveiled at 3 p.m., on Sept. 27, after a lecture from exhibit curator Bud Thompson. The work, “Shipment to China,� was created to honor the lives of the Chinese laborers who helped build the transcontinental railroad in the United States. The abstract artwork, made of bronze and resembling boxlike urns, sits on railroad tracks cast in 1909 in Tacoma. The piece was created in 1996 to be part of Tacoma’s Chinese Reconciliation Park, but plans changed as the park’s design evolved, making the work’s inclusion in the park impractical. The piece has now been restored and will be on display for the first time since the late 1990s. “We are excited about the exhibition of ‘Shipment to China’ at the Foss Waterway Seaport Museum. It is important to tell this piece of the railroad story and the sacrifices made by the Chinese laborers who were instrumental in building the railroad which was important to the growth of Tacoma,� said Theresa Pan Hosley, president of the Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation.
either seek more information, conduct interviews or begin direct negotiations with a developer, depending on the reuse plans developers propose. Staffers could also reject all of the ideas and reissue a second call for proposals. “It’s a very flexible pro-
cess,� Walkowiak said. “We are trying to be very flexible with what we receive.� Those proposals could involve an array of tax credits associated with job creation in urban areas, historical rehabilitation of landmark facilities and multifamily tax exemptions.

O
ne of the more interesting arguments in the sporting world involves the subject of a “moral victory.” Where one team, perhaps the underdog, perhaps playing with injuries, fights tooth and nail against a stronger opponent, pushing them to the absolute brink, only to fall short in the end and lose the contest. If you listen to most of the “know-it-alls” on the sports radio dial, they pretty much think there is no such thing as a moral victory. Personally, I think they’re all nuts.

Fresh off their first victory since the 2013 football season, the Stadium Tigers had little time to bask in the glow of their 30-16 win over rival Wilson. Next up for the Tigers would be their 4A Narrows nemesis: the Bellarmine Prep Lions, and after what they went through in their last game against Gonzaga Prep (a 34-28 overtime defeat), there was going to be little chance of a letdown from the hosts at Bellarmine’s Memorial Field on Friday, Sept. 18. After suffering a brutal 70-14 loss at the hands of Bellarmine last season at Stadium Bowl, the Tigers looked like a team that was ready to close the gap a bit between the two teams. It’s true that Bellarmine ended up running away with the game late, but for more than three full quarters, the big Tacoma crowd was treated to a slugfest of a performance by both squads. However, it was the Lions who earn the 57-29 victory and get back on the winning track. The game started much like every Bellarmine game so far this season. With a stud running back to feed the ball to, in senior Ahmad Lewis, the Lions have one of the best weapons in the Puget Sound at their disposal and it paid off big time against Stadium. After a big kickoff return, the Lions seemed to move down the field at will. Facing second and 10 from the Stadium 19-yard line, junior quarterback Christian Moore handed the ball off to Lewis, who headed toward the middle of the line and then burst to the outside toward the Bellarmine sideline and down the field. Inside the 10, the Tigers descended upon Lewis, but a quick 360’ spin shook off the would-be tacklers and Lewis crossed the goal-line. Bellarmine led 7-0 with 9:47 remaining in the first quarter. On the following possession, junor running back Jamon Chambers returned the kickoff to the 50-yard line, and saw another 15 yards

TACOMA STARS BRANCH OUT AND SIGN THREE MORE TO PRO ROSTER The Tacoma Stars have announced the signing of defender Cory Keitz, striker Tyrone Hall, and midfielder Joseph Cairel. The Stars continue to fill out their initial roster in advance of the team’s first full season as a part of the Major Arena Soccer League. Tacoma opens its season on Oct. 24 with a road contest against the Dallas Sidekicks. Keitz, 26, spent the last two seasons with the Kitsap Pumas, where he earned All-League honors as a defender in the Premier Development League. He was an instrumental part of a Pumas squad that won the PDL Northwest Division two years in a row, and made the National Finals in 2014. “Cory is an excellent defender with the ability to create scoring chances from the back with one pass,” Stars Head Coach and General Manager Darren Sawatzky said. “I think he is underrated and we expect him to be a big part of the MASL season.” “When Darren approached me about playing for the Stars, I knew nothing about the club because I am from Michigan. As I began to learn about the club’s history it was an easy decision to sign with the Stars,” Keitz said. “From the owner down through the coaching staff, the Stars are first class and I look forward to getting to work with the guys and growing the club with the support of the community.” Hall, 31, comes to the Stars with extensive professional experience, including time spent playing internationally. He began the 2014 indoor season with the Ontario Fury of the MASL before leaving to compete in Finland. Hall also played for the Pennsylvania Roar of the Major Indoor Soccer League. “We found Ty through our network of people in the game and he represents a strong athlete looking for a chance to move to the next level,” Sawatzky said. “It will be exciting watching him grow here and score goals for our fans in Tacoma.” “I’m extremely thankful to be able to continue my career with a great organization,” Hall said. “I look forward to meeting my teammates, picking the brain of Coach Sawatzky, and contributing to a great upcoming season.” Cairel, 24, spent the past summer competing with the Burlingame Dragons in the PDL. The Sounders U-23 club, coached by Sawatzky, eliminated the Dragons in the 2015 Western Conference Semi Finals. “We played this summer down in Tucson with the Sounders U-23’s and I was able to see Joseph play in a very competitive game at a high level,” Sawatzky said. “He is a tireless worker with an incredible will to win.” “I am very excited to be a part of the Tacoma Stars organization and its great history,” Cairel said. “I’m determined to bring something new to the team this season.” The newest additions to the team bring the current Stars’ signees to 11 players, with further announcements forthcoming. Season ticket packages, group outings, and suite offerings for the Tacoma Stars 2015 season are available now. To purchase, call 1-844-STARS-TIME or visit the Stars online at www.tacomastars.com. The most up-to-date news and notes about the Stars leading up to the start of the 2015 season can be found by following the Stars on Twitter (@TacomaStarsSC) or liking the team on Facebook. BUFFALO SOLDIERS MUSEUM TO HOST OCT. 9 CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNEY Come out and play golf Oct. 9 at one of the best courses in Western Washington with Seattle Sonics legend Slick Watts, Seattle Seahawks alumni Nesby Glasgow, Edwin Bailey, Charles Young and Super Bowl champion Oakland Raider Otis Sistrunk.

The tournament will take place at JBLM Eagles Pride Golf Course and is open to the general public. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 9 with a shotgun start at 11:00 a.m. The $80 entry fee includes 18 holes of golf, a golf cart, hosted beverages, lunch, prizes and a 4:30 p.m. banquet with Grammy nominated bassist Charles Mack.

Online sign-up is available at buffalosoldierstacoma. org or by calling (253) 272-4257. Sponsorships are also available. SUPER FIGHT LEAGUE 44 RETURNS TO THE EMERALD QUEEN WITH TWO TITLE FIGHTS Justin “Ruckus” Harrington will make his first defense of the Super Fight League America lightweight title on Saturday, Sept. 26 when he faces Woo “Why So Serious” Johnson in the main event of CageSport MMA presents SFL 44 at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma. The event is scheduled for a total of eight fights. Harrington (7-2) is a two-time CageSport champion and opened his professional career with six consecutive victories with every triumph coming via stoppage. A resident of Enumclaw, Wash., Harrington captured the vacant SFL lightweight crown on July 12 with a victory over Harrison Bevens, winning by second-round TKO. Johnson (5-1), of Spanaway, Wash., earned his title shot with an equally impressive victory on the SFL 41 undercard, defeating Chris Aparicio via submission (rear naked choke) at the 4:40 mark of the third round. “This really is a bout worthy of main event status. It was hard to decide whose victory at SFL 41 was more exciting,” said promoter Brian Halquist. “They both tore the house down last time. Each has a feverish fan base locally. It should all add up to an excellent title fight.” Tickets are available through the EQQ box office and all Ticket Master Outlets. Doors open at 6 p.m. with preliminary bouts starting at 7 p.m. In the co-main event bout Alfonso “Big Smooth”
Gonzales (7-1) will square off against Thomas “Tiny” Hoeper (1-1) for the vacant SFL America light heavyweight title. Gonzales made his pro debut at CageSport 23 with a quick first-round TKO win over Steve Simpson and is a perfect 4-0 all-time at the Emerald Queen Casino, while the 6-foot-7 Hoeper is coming off a victory over Nate Cook at SFL 36. Highlighting the undercard will be two-time CageSport champion and local favorite Drew “The Eternal Fire” Brokenshire (11-2). Brokenshire, a native of Tacoma, faces Daniel “Agent Orange” Swain (11-5-1) in a featherweight contest which should see the victor emerge as a top contender for the SFL America title. Super Fight League 44 is brought to you by Brian Halquist Productions and CageSport MMA. For more information, please visit www.halquistproductions.com and the CageSport MMA Facebook page.

Shipley placed ninth out of 270 runners at the Sundodger Invitational in Seattle on Saturday. The Forest Grove, Oregon, native finished with a personal-best time of 24:30.88 as he helped the Puget Sound men's cross country team to a ninth-place finish out of 24 teams. Shipley opened the 2015 season by winning the Puget Sound Invitational on Sept. 5, and he was named the NWC Student-Athlete of the Week for his opening performance. SONICO GRABS NWC ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONORS FOR LOGGERS Josh Sonico's seven points helped Puget Sound begin its conference schedule 2-0, and he has been named the Northwest Conference Offensive Student-Athlete of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday. The senior from Cathedral City, California, recorded three goals and an assist for the Loggers in two victories over the weekend. In a 3-1 victory over Pacific on Saturday, Sonico scored all three of Puget Sound's goals. Two were Olimpico goals, and came directly from corner kicks, while the third was on a header off a Sam Zisette corner kick. Sonico followed up his hat-trick performance by assisting the game-winning goal in the Loggers 2-1 overtime win against George Fox on Sunday, Sept. 20. PUGET SOUND’S PRICKETT AND THOMAS BRING HOME NWC ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONORS Annie Prickett and Lauren Thomas have been named the Northwest Conference Offensive and Defensive StudentAthlete of the Week, respectively, the league announced on Tuesday. Prickett, a senior from Bozeman, Montana, scored two goals for the Loggers in a week where the team began conference play and remained unbeaten on the year. In Puget Sound's 4-0 defeat of Lewis & Clark on Saturday, Sept. 19, Prickett scored the opening goal, beating three defenders before slotting the ball low past the keeper to give her team a lead that they would never relinquish. Prickett also scored in the following match, a 1-1 draw with Linfield on Sunday. Thomas, a native to Woodinville, Washington, played all 310 minutes in goal for the Loggers last week. The junior allowed only one goal while making nine saves. The goal allowed in a 1-1 tie with Linfield was the first goal allowed by Thomas in 457 minutes. She is 5-0-2 this year with five shutouts and just two total goals allowed. LADY LUTES BAG FIRST TOURNAMENT WIN IN 10 YEARS AT PACIFIC FALL INVITE Pacif ic Lutheran rallied from three strokes back to card one of the best rounds in team history as the Lutes came from behind to win the Pacific Fall Invite Sunday afternoon at Quail Valley Golf Course. The win marked PLU's first in a tournament field of more than two teams since 2005, while PLU's second round score of 327 was the second-lowest team score in program history. For the weekend, PLU finished with a score of 658, 90 over par at the 5,828-yard, par-71 course. "Our women's golf program took a big step today by capturing our first team title in 10 years," PLU head coach Michael Fosnick said. "I think now they believe that they can compete with the other elite programs in the conference." Desirae Haselwood finished two strokes behind medalist Mady Rhodenbaugh, placing second with a weekend total of 158 (77-81). Madison LaVergne tied for fifth with a total of 164 following matching round scores of 82. JeankieJhen Aczon placed seventh with a weekend total of 167 (86-81), and Anela Barber placed 10th with a score of 169 (86-83) to give PLU four top-10 finishers. "I'm really proud of the team for winning this weekend," Haselwood said. "We all played solidly on Sunday to beat Lewis & Clark, and it felt really good. We know we can improve, and we hope to play strong next weekend in Walla Walla." Kadyn Coltom tied for 14th with a two-round total of 177 (90-87), while Anna Jessen placed 16th (92-98—190). PLU sat three strokes behind Lewis & Clark at 331 following the first round, but the Lutes totaled 327 in the afternoon – the second-lowest round score in program history – to jump the Pioneers and claim the tournament title. Lewis & Clark finished three strokes back at 661 (328-333), while Pacific placed third (403-393—796) and Willamette did not have enough golfers to compile a team score. "It feels great to take our first victory knowing that we have yet to reach our full potent," Aczon said. "It's even better that we can look forward in confidence to our future tournaments knowing that we've taken first place once before." PLU heads to eastern Washington next weekend for the Whitman Invitational, set for Sept. 26-27.

LINCOLN ABES OFF TO SCORCHING START

CAN WILSON SOCCER BREAK OUT IN THE NARROWS? On the final evening of a long, hot summer, the Wilson Lady Rams made short work of an overmatched Foss Falcon soccer team at Mt. Tahoma Stadium. The 8-0 halftime lead was going to be insurmountable for the young Falcons, and instead of pouring it on in the second half, the Rams would send out a bevy of reserves, who spent the next 40 minutes controlling the ball and the flow of the game, even cutting off a few sure breakaway opportunities and bringing the ball back out to midfield. It was a class act by a Lady
Ram squad that just might have what it takes to return to the 3A playoffs this season, following a heartbreaking shoot-out conclusion to their 2014 postseason. Currently, Wilson has moved up into fourth place in the 3A Narrows standings with a 2-2 league record, and 2-2-1 overall. The top four teams from the 3A Narrows advance to the playoffs at the end of the season. The Stadium Tigers have also moved into the final fourth slot with a 3-0 win over Olympia and sit at 1-1 in the 4A Narrows and 2-2-1 overall.
Currently ranked as high as third in one statewide 3A football poll, the Lincoln Abes are looking like not only the team to beat in the 3A Narrows, but again, a legitimate contender to challenge for a state tournament run and possibly even a trip to the Tacoma Dome for the first time. While still working on incorporating new players into lead roles, the Abes have been running through, over and away from their opponents. Most recently, it was the Capital Cougars who came to Lincoln Bowl on Sept. 18 and went
home on the wrong end of a 71-46 defeat. Lincoln junior quarterback Joey Sinclair went wild in the game, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 474 yards and 6 touchdowns. The fleet footed signal caller also rushed eight times for 73 yards. Factor in senior running back Dionte Simon, who is averaging 160 yards per game, and it’s no mystery why the Abes are off to such a hot 3-0 start. Lincoln’s next home game is Friday, Oct. 2 hosting Mt. Tahoma. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

t Bellarmine
From page A10
Not only have I experienced moral victories in my athletic youth, but as a sports reporter, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it happen right here in Tacoma on several occasions. As a matter of fact, it occurred just this past Tuesday, Sept. 22, as the Mt. Tahoma T-Birds hosted the perennial state powerhouse Capital Cougars. Less than a year ago, the Cougars lost in the state 3A championship match against Auburn Riverside, a team that some believed to be nearly on-par with threetime 4A state champion Bellarmine Prep. Throw in the fact that in her 19 years of coaching volleyball, Mt. Tahoma head coach Rhonda Stinson had never directed a squad that had even won a single game against Capital, let alone an entire match. Using a combination of strong runs, dogged determination and a surprising amount of confidence, the T-Birds not only won the second game of their match, but nearly pushed the contest to a fifth and final game, after surrendering the lead late in the fourth game. As Capital celebrated following the final point of the match, the sizeable contingent of noisy T-Bird fans celebrated as well, along with a very happy Mt. Tahoma team. Capital won the night 3-1 with scores of 25-18, (22-25), 25-10 and 25-23. The third game was a pretty dominant performance from the Cougars, other than that however; the rest of the evening was nearly a draw, and that meant a whole lot to this T-Bird bunch that has been pouring so much into getting proficient, consistent and competitive. Coach Stinson was all smiles after the match and the significance of the contest wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost upon her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working really hard this year telling the girls they have to believe in them-
selves and not give up,â&#x20AC;? said Stinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to brush off the mental errors. They have to be mentally strong and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to change things here at Mt. Tahoma. To do it in such a short period of time is something. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve coached 19 years, I was at Lincoln for 17 years, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never taken a game off of Capital. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been that close. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says a lot to these girls. They practice three and a half hours a day. So the dedication is really starting to pay off. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to learn the game of volleyball, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a huge difference. Getting that winning mentality into these girls, where they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to be giving teams like this wins, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be putting up a real fight each and every timeâ&#x20AC;Ś and to make it stick in the back of their minds for the next time when we play them.â&#x20AC;? Having graduated from the same school as her team is not lost upon Stinson, and it seems to add to her desire to make something positive happen at Mt. Tahoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an alumni here,â&#x20AC;? said Stinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to bring pride back to Mt. Tahoma. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting with believing in ourselves. This is the most fans weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in the stands. So people are hearing things and they are coming out. To hear the parents and even spectators say nice job. It was amazing for me that [Capital coach Natalie Zukowski] said your girls played great. That meant a lot to me. That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just like a coach feeling sorry for me, she truly meant that.â&#x20AC;? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if the moral victories over in Southwest Tacoma start adding up to the real kind in the standings before this season is over in the 3A Narrows. Keep an eye out for these T-Birds taking flight.

tacked on following a facemask penalty against Bellarmine. Working with a short field, Stadium was unable to get any push against the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; front-seven and three plays later faced fourth and 10 from the 35-yard line where they started. Sophomore quarterback Hunter Wendling tossed a pass to junior receiver Max Novak at the 22-yard line, only to see junior defensive back Mason Lawrence step in front of Novak, pick the ball off and ramble down the sideline all the way to the Tigerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own 22-yard line. It would take Bellarmine just three plays to punch the ball into the endzone following the turnover. After pushing the ball to the Tiger eightyard line, Lewis took a handoff and sprinted toward the Bellarmine pile on, beating any would-be Tiger tacklers into the end-zone. Bellarmine now led 14-0 with 6:39 remaining in the game. Stadium would go to work on the ensuing possession and strung together an impressive 16-play drive all the way to the Bellarmine five-yard line. On second and goal, Wendling handed the ball off to senior running back Eric Aueale, who blasted up the middle and put the Tigers on the scoreboard. Bellarmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead was now 14-7 with 11:58 remaining in the second quarter. The Lions had a short field to work with after running the ensuing kickoff back to the Stadium 30-yard line. Two runs by Lewis put them at the eightyard line and the Bellarmine crowd could almost smell another touchdown run. Instead, Moore dropped back for a pass and was double-crunched by senior defensive end Cameron Crider and senior linebacker Johnathan Stowers. Moore got the pass off just as he was hit, and the ball fluttered into the waiting arms of junior defensive end Garrett Nugent in the end-zone. Bellarmine would have to wait to pour on some more points. Stadium would push the next possession out to midfield before being forced to punt the ball away. Bellarmine took over on their own 22-yard line and went straight back to work with a 14-play drive culminating in a nine-yard touchdown run by Lewis. The point-after kick was wide left and Bellarmine now led 20-7 with 4:31 remaining in the second quarter. Junior kicker Bryce Bendixen would make up for his missed extrapoint on the following kickoff by dropping the ball between Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last line of blockers and their return men. The ball died when it hit the grass and the Lions leapt upon the ball before the Tigers could properly react. Starting at the Tiger 20-yard line, Bellarmine would pound the ball on the ground for five plays, ending with a three-yard run up the middle by junior running back Matthew Money. Bellarmine now led 27-7 with 2:20 left in the first half. With time ticking away on the first half, Stadium took to the air and worked the ball down to the Lion 38-yard line. Two plays later, Wendling connected with Novak for a touchdown and Stadium was back in the ballgame. Following an unplanned, but successful, two-point conversion, the Bellarmine lead was cut to 27-15 as time would then run out in the first half. The opening drive of the second half would prove to be tough one to swallow for the Tigers. Stadium

would reach the Bellarmine 35-yard line following an 11-play drive, but facing fourth and four, Wendlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass to junior receiver Cody Shoeler fell incomplete and the Lions would take over on downs. For the next seven plays in the game, it would be the Ahmad Lewis show. Lewis would string together runs of 10, 12, 17 and 21 yards as Bellarmine pushed the ball to the Tiger five-yard line. Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense made it a tough go from there, but ultimately it would be Lewis scoring on a pitchout from two yards out and Bellarmine now led 34-15 with 5:08 remaining in the third quarter. On the next possession, Stadium would put together another impressive drive only to see it run out of downs. Despite hurting themselves with penalties, the Tigers had moved the ball to the Bellarmine 40-yard line, but would go no further, turning the ball over on downs. Bellarmine would only muster one play on the next drive as Money was stripped of the football and Stadium came away with the ball. Starting from their own 43-yard line, Stadium would string together a 10-play drive, capped by a two-yard touchdown pass from Wendling to Novak. Following a bad snap on the conversion, the Bellarmine lead was now cut to 34-21 with 10:43 remaining in the ballgame. The Lions would waste little time striking again, as Lewis would reach the end-zone on a 22-yard scamper following another short-field start. Bellarmine now led 41-21 with 8:19 remaining in the game and their foot was on the gas pedal. Stadium would help out on the next possession, as Wendling was stripped of the ball in the shadow of the Bellarmine end-zone and the Lions would take over with just seven yards to go for another score. It would take just one play for Lewis to pound the ball up the middle and score his sixth touchdown of the night. Bellarmine now led 48-21 and the playing field seemed to be fully tilted toward the Lion end-zone now. With 2:33 left in the game, Bellarmine added another three points on a 22-yard field goal by Bendixen and the score was 51-21. Stadium would put together one final drive, capped by a 13-yard touchdown run by Chambers and a two-point conversion run by Novak. Then, as time ticked away, Bellarmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money broke free on a run and raced to the end-zone for a 55-yard touchdown and a 57-29 Lion victory. Up next for Bellarmine (1-0 Narrows, 2-1 overall) is a trip up to Redmond (0-3) before returning home on Oct. 2 to face Timberline (1-0, 1-2). Things will not get easier for the upand-coming Tigers (1-1, 1-2) as next they will host the second-ranked Gig Harbor Tides on Sept. 25 at 7 p.m.

he days grow short. The nights begin to cool. Fall is here. For us that means that Tacoma Arts Month is just around the corner. Here in the City of Destiny, the month of October is set aside for special recognition of the arts that, throughout the year, are happening all around us. Arts Month is a time for the city to shine a spotlight on the richness and the diversity of visual art, dance, theater, literature and music that is in our midst, humming away, unceasingly, like a perpetual motion machine propelled by human energy. Tacoma Arts Month kicks off with a big bash Oct. 1. The opening party and AMOCAT Awards ceremony take place at the historic Tacoma Armory at 6 p.m. The event features music by Ken Jacobsen, contemporary dance by the BareFoot Collective, Joel Myers, Voriece Miller, and TSOTA Dance Company.

Tacoma’s artists throw open the doors of their studios and invite the public in.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;FORGET THE REST, COME TASTE THE BESTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Enjoy Puyallup Art & Wine Walk on Oct. 3
When the Washington State Fair winds down its 17-day run on Sept. 27, it will pave the way for another event aimed at drawing attention to Puyallup's thriving downtown corridor. The Downtown Art and Wine Walk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; organized by the Puyallup Main Street Association â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will showcase several local businesses with a self-guided tour and wine tasting that will be held from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3. Among the event's founders are Lori and Stephen Newby, formerly the owners of Corkscrew Cellars on North Meridian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started 11 years ago,â&#x20AC;? Lori recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary
Johnson and Amy Johnson of Johnson jewelers in Puyallup came up with the idea of having an art and wine event that would draw people into the downtown area so they would see what downtown Puyallup had to offer. Each year, the event has grown. The first time maybe a dozen merchants were involved. We have around 20 merchants each year, and it's a self-guided tour.â&#x20AC;? Participant check-in this year is on the first floor of City Hall, located at 333 S. Meridian, in Puyallup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They sign up at registration,â&#x20AC;?

Maybe not ‘the realest,’ but Aussie rapper Azalea thrills youngish crowd in Puyallup By Ernest A. Jasmin
PHOTO BY BILL BUNGARD
“Beat Down” and “Bounce,” a high-energy pop club cut that had many of her half-pint fans hopping in the aisles. Before long, though, she downshifted into the rap equivalent of the acoustic set for a few of her relationship songs, “Rolex,” “Trouble” and an a truncated version of Ariana Grande’s “Problem,” a song on which she makes a cameo. When it was time to turn back up, she turned her back to the crowd, lifting a small jacket she’d been wearing around her waist to expose more of her notoriously ample backside. That was, of course, the cue for “Booty,” an ode to having gluteus to the maximus she recorded with Jennifer Lopez. One of her dancers provided the frantic booty shaking alluded to in that hit; and after, Azalea declared that her own “twerking” days were over now that her fiancé – Nick Young of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers – was making an honest woman of her. “Now that I’m gettin’ married, I gotta let my girls do it for me,” she said. Those dancers compensated plenty, pumping and gyrating up a storm during the rowdy trap meltdown of “Drop That.” But just about everyone in the venue was shakin’ their money makers by the time “Fancy” made its inevitable appearance, bringing the show to an epic, confettistrewn finale. There was no encore, and the rapper didn’t preview material from the forthcoming album she’s been working on. But here’s guessing you’ll get plenty of that when she launches a massive amphitheater tour in 2016.
by dancers and a pair of backup singers, she set a cocky tone with “Goddess” from last year’s “The New Classic” album. Refrain: “Ain’t no one man can stop us, bow down to a goddess.” She followed with “Beg for It,” bragging about her power to drive the men folk crazy, and then she hit her stride with
Iggy Azalea set list: “Goddess,” “Beg for It,” “Beat Down,” “Bounce,” “My World,” “Rolex,” “Don’t Need Y’all,” “Iggy Szn,” “Booty,” “Problem,” “Trouble,” “All Hands on Deck” (with Tinashe), “Black Widow,” “Work,” “Drop That,” “Fancy” Opening acts: Tinashe, Elijah Blake
ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
“First things first, I’m the realest,” goes the opening salvo of Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy,” among the most ubiquitous hits of 2014. That sentiment has been widely debated since the Australian-born rapper took the pop world by storm, becoming the poster girl for cultural appropriation in the process with her faux Southern patois and a mountain of hype that eclipses her actual musical output. There’s room to debate how fair it is to single Azalea out as “inauthentic” in an genre where phony images abound, from all the studio gangsters to guys who “started from the bottom,” meaning on Canadian TV. But there were definitely signs that the rapper - born Amethyst Kelly – may have been put on too fast of a track on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at the Washington State Fair. For starters, her set was a bit thin, more like something you’d catch on the club circuit than at the 11,000-seat grandstand. It would have clocked in at well under an hour if not padded by 15 minutes of DJ Wizz Kidd spinning club hits and opening act Tinashe coming back to perform the remix of “All Hands on Deck” - on which Azalea appears - for a second time. (Azalea flubbed the lyrics, coyly joking that her fans keep it a secret.) The crowd seemed equally sparse, in contrast to Azalea’s presence on the radio. About 3,500 showed up, many of them preteen girls who seemed a bit young for her raunchy lyrics and “bootylicious” image. Still, those kids and a lot of their chaperones put an enthusiastic stamp of approval on everything the hip-hop bad girl had to offer Tuesday night. The Aussie amazon first appeared atop a set of risers, sporting a mid-riff-baring Moschino top, thigh-high boots and heels that pushed her over the 6-foot mark. Surrounded

FREDDIE LIVES. Giles Taylor will play the late singer, Mercury, on Sept. 26. By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com
Freddie Mercury’s supple, operatic tenor. Brian May’s majestic, tone-rich solos. Nobody sounds quite like legendary rock band Queen. Well, almost nobody. Recreating the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ sound is what the Australian production, “Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic” is all about. Specifically, the production will recreate the group’s legendary 1986 tour on Sept. 26 at the Pantages Theater, and we asked Australian singer Giles Taylor how he goes about emulating one of rock’s most singular voices. Tacoma Weekly: Take me back to when you first heard Queen. How old were you, and what registered with you? Taylor: The earliest memory of hearing Queen’s music was being driven to school by my father, listening to his copy of “Queen’s Greatest Hits” and singing along to “Fat Bottom Girls.” I must have been about five or six, I guess. TW: How did the tribute act get started? Taylor: This particular line-up has been active for around three years after the original line-up, formed almost 10 years ago, was put on hiatus to focus on the other shows that the production company has. TW: What’s the key to capturing the essence of Freddie Mercury? Taylor: Like anything in life, practice makes perfect. There’s a lot of rehearsal that goes into all the characters, and that rehearsal is constant whether we are touring or
having a bit of time off. With Freddie, it’s impossible to be overly flamboyant, so for me there are no boundaries to recreating his personality. TW: From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like you’re going for more of a flashy, “Innuendo” era Freddie Mercury versus shaggy-haired, unitardwearing Freddie Mercury. Taylor: You haven’t seen all the videos then. That unitard outfit is my favourite! TW: Aside from the look, Freddie is one of the most distinct vocalists in rock. What were some of the most difficult songs for you to nail in the beginning? Taylor: I am exceptionally lucky in that my vocal range falls very similar to that of Freddie’s. However, it’s the manner in which he phrases things that is harder to capture. One line might be sung in a growling glottal rock style and then suddenly soar into a flurry of operatic runs. It’s these transitions that are challenging. The most challenging song has to be a section in the intro of “Fat Bottom Girls” where he sings four lines in a single breath, belting all the way. I’ve come close to passing out a few times trying to make it through that section. TW: We figure you’ll include all the hits in your show, but are there some underrated, deep album cuts you give special attention to? Taylor: We have a lot of serious Queen fans come to our shows and, being huge fans ourselves, we like to throw in a few of the B-sides and lesser

TW: What are the odds of hearing some “Flash Gordon?” I feel as if “Ted” did for that one what “Wayne’s World” did for “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Taylor: The beauty of being totally live is that we can throw in a little request section toward the end of the show, which is pure gold because it’s an amazing chance to ask the audience what they would like to hear, and some strange and random Queen tracks often get thrown out, including an occasional “Flash.” It’s always fun to watch people try and catch us off guard.

WITCHY WOMAN HOROSCOPES Christina Wheeler has been studying astrology for the past 22 years. She writes, creates, laughs too loud, and owns a store called The Nearsighted Narwhal in Tacoma, WA. If you ever want to chew the fat about astrology, contact her at tinathehyena@gmail.com. ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19) Unexpected communications – either coming from you or to you – hit you hard this week. You may not believe the things you’re hearing or saying. Love prompts you to let go of things that are no longer serving you in relationships. Darkness of the moon provides you the chance to let go of what doesn’t work and embrace new ways of communicating, loving, and living. Stand firm.
LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22) Words spark changes in relationships. Sudden realizations and unorthodox trains of thought lead you into new ways of thinking that can be painful at first but cathartic in the long run. Standing for what you believe in becomes easier than ever, especially when confronted with ultimatums. Firmly stand your ground, knowing that you only want what’s best and fair for everyone.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) Matters of health and general well-being need to be delved into. Working too much and not taking care of yourself won’t get you anywhere but the doctor’s office. Take the time to reflect on the life you’ve built and what areas you’d like to see improvements. Realize that reality is malleable and it merely takes a strong hand to mold your life into what you want it to be.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) You work your fingers to the bone for your own emotional therapy but a soul mate is also something you need to make time for because it has the power to psychically heal you. Redefine what works for you on the career front and what things you’ve simply gone along with because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Reassess your choices and change accordingly.
GEMINI (May 21 – Jun. 20) Reaching out to your friend group in times of loneliness is what has worked for you in the past, though they may not always be available to your call. Creative urges pluck at your heartstrings and you contemplate picking up an old favorite hobby that allows for some mental peace. You feel a need to be recognized for your creative contributions. Put them out there for perusal.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The friends you love dearly are calling on you to communicate in creative ways. Perhaps you are partaking in a creative project that benefits the greater good but you need to set boundaries for yourself. Don’t use up all your energy for everyone else when you’re the one that has to live your life and be happy or not. Strike that balance. Have those conversations. Live better.
CANCER (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22) You may be feeling torn between staying at home or going to work. Working from home provides the comfort you need as long as you make space to both work and live comfortably. You have a new unusual take on something and ride it out on the creative front. Nurture whatever needs love on the inside and take care of business on the outside. Find that balance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Emotional issues surrounding your home life from childhood or your mother need to be resolved with an eye toward healing and doing what is best for you. Working through these things with a partner or friend can provide the bird’s eye perspective that you have been lacking. Whatever it is that you need to heal from, realize that not everything is your fault. Heal and move on.
LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22) There is much to be learned through your communications with a loved one. Soul-searching discussions between you and someone you love will take you on a higher plane of consciousness than you could achieve on your own. Don’t be satisfied with the status quo. Issues still need to be evaluated, overturned, and solved. Do it in the presence of love and learn your lessons together.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Novelty in the home and in matters of morals crashes into your life and might leave you feeling a little lightheaded. Sometimes things are built up just to be brought down to once again be built again but this time in ways that are unbreakable. Remember that it’s the cyclical nature of life and that anything that is broken can be put back together or thrown away. Reflect on what is which.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22) Life has a way of crumbling in abrupt ways the things that don’t work for us anymore. Indecision can be worse than the wrong decision. Sometimes life will make the decision for us in unexpected ways and we can either complain about it or realize that it has done our dirty work for us. Let life rid you of the things that no longer serve you and try your best not to be wistful. Embrace it.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20) Now is the time to break apart your moral code and reevaluate. Relationships, either gone or current, provide you with the grounds to transform areas of your life through tragedy or unexpected circumstances. You’re finding your peace in staying at home and beautifying and that’s okay. Do what you need to do to get through and make no apologies on the way.

Pet of the Week
LILY HAS THE GREENEST EYES YOU EVER DID SEE! What’s black and white with a splash of green? Why, it’s Featured Pet Lily. This domestic shorthair has been at the shelter since July, her nervous personality detracting from high adoptability. But what our “Purr-Time” experts have found is that when the shelter closes and when given one-on-one attention, sweet Lily begins to trust. Simply approach her calm, cool, and collected, and let her come to you. Have some Treasures treats on hand, and Lily may very well seek you out, her food-motivation and your relaxed demeanor working together as a beacon of safety. And once trust is had, rubs and love will be solicited. Cat-savvy folks with a spacious home, please consider our jewel, the precious and lustrous Lily. The 3-year-old’s adoption fee is $50. #A499641
