Depot of Fircrest employees Christina Kancianich and Danielle Starr (left, right in middle photo) got together to replace his stolen tools and work truck. They all gathered with “Washington’s Most Wanted” host David Rose (middle) to surprise Alexander on Tuesday.

LESHAUN ALEXANDER CAN NOW GET BACK TO WORK AND SUPPORT HIS FAMILY By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

LeShaun Alexander was just about speechless when he saw the SUV full of carpentry tools donated by Home Depot of Fircrest and Integrity Construction Group’s Josh and Dawn Harris. DAVID ROSE ‘Wow, wow,” said Alexander as store employees, along with Harris’ little girl, handed him boxes of new tools including a jigsaw, skill saw, drill, grinder, table saw and air compressor. “I’m so overwhelmed.

“This was a tough time for me, and you guys have just showed me what I already knew – that there are far more good people than bad people out here, and I really do appreciate and admire my community.” – LESHAUN ALEXANDER

I never imagined all this to come,” he said. Alexander works as a carpenter and is a single dad to two young daughters. His tools were stolen when he left them

A roundtable talk on Sept. 19 that included many of the major players on Tacoma’s tideflats provided a glimpse of city efforts that could lead to a lengthy review of zoning rules of the largely industrial waterfront at a time when no public meeting about the tideflats goes without community protests. This Monday afternoon chat was no exception. About 50 members of the public, many of whom were wearing the signature red clothing of the RedLine Tacoma effort, attended the late-notice meeting to voice their concerns about what they perceive as a lack of transparency and public participation in activities on the industrial lands. They specifically called on the city to reopen the environmental review process regarding a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant that they fear would create safety issues if an

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

63RD AND A 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. Two road packages passed by voters last year added money to the city’s street fund. 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.

Bulletin Board CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS IMPROVEMENT ALMOST COMPLETE The City Council Chambers Improvement Project is in the final stages of the construction timeline. The first City Council meeting held in the renovated chambers at the Tacoma Municipal Building (747 Market St., 1st Floor) will be on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 5 p.m. City Council meetings will continue to be held at the Tacoma Public Utilities Auditorium (3628 S. 35th St.) through the end of September. “Now that the chambers have been updated to have more aesthetic appeal and the audio visual updates are in line with modern technology, this space will enhance the community engagement experience,” said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. This is the first complete update of the chambers in almost 40 years. Aesthetic enhancements include new carpeting, reupholstered chairs, updated wall finishes, a resurfaced dais and updated podium. Audio/visual updates include an improved microphone and speaker system and upgraded cameras. “These Council Chambers improvements are part of a continued effort to promote engagement between citizens and their City government,” said City Manager T.C. Broadnax. The chambers serve as the main meeting facility for the public to engage with Council as they conduct official City business. These upgrades will also serve to provide for a secondary use of the room as meeting space for committee meetings, City department meetings and Hearing Examiner sessions. Visit the City Council Meetings site to view upcoming agendas or for more information contact the Customer Support Center by dialing 311 within Tacoma city limits or (253) 591-5000 from anywhere else.

The award winner will be selected by the committee at its November meeting, and recognized at the City of Tacoma’s 29th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration on Jan. 16, 2017. More information about the 29th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration is available at cityoftacoma.org/MLK. CELEBRATE GREEN TACOMA DAY ON OCT. 1 Residents, businesses, community groups and individuals are invited to celebrate Green Tacoma Day and Arbor Day, on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. These events are the perfect opportunity to learn more about urban forests across the city through fun, educational activities and restoration projects. Green Tacoma Day is an annual celebration of the Green Tacoma Partnership’s work to restore 1,881 acres of urban green space, while Arbor Day celebrates the planting, growing, and caring of Tacoma’s trees. This day of service offers great opportunities for the Tacoma community to get to know each other and their local green spaces. All are welcome and no experience is necessary. There are a number of activities available to choose from that each highlight a different way to support the city’s urban forests and green spaces. Restoration activities will range from removing weeds and invasive plants to planting native trees and shrubs at nine locations across Tacoma. Learn how to plant a tree and help increase Tacoma’s tree canopy with a large tree planting at Titlow Park. Participants can also help transform a paved median into a green space on South Thompson and South Yakima avenues at South 46th Street for the Depave project. Anyone interested in keeping Tacoma green in their own backyard as well as in local green spaces is encouraged to check out the Tree Coupon Program. Saturday, Oct. 1, marks the kickoff for the fifth season of the program open to Tacoma and Pierce County residents. For more information, visit cityoftacoma.org/treecoupon. Having access to healthy parks and urban trees is vital to our cities and quality of life. Eight cities including Kent, Everett, Kirkland, Redmond, Seattle, Tacoma, Tukwila and Puyallup make up the Green Cities Network, collectively working to restore and maintain over 7,500 acres of publicly owned urban natural areas and forests. Each Green City has partnered with Forterra to establish a community-based restoration program that brings together local non-profits, community groups, city agencies, neighborhood leaders, and local businesses to support healthy urban green spaces for the future of our region. People can learn more about this partnership at forterra.org/greencities. This Arbor Day, Tacoma celebrates 22 years as a Tree City USA community and Tacoma Public Utility’s 12th year as a Tree Line USA utility. Green Tacoma Day partners include City of Tacoma, Metro Parks Tacoma, Forterra, Citizens for a Healthy Bay and Pierce Conservation District. Project sites include Browns Point Playfield, Franklin Park, Garfield Gulch, Gog-le-hi-te Wetlands, Julia’s Gulch, McKinley Park, Oak Tree Park, Ryan’s Park, Tacoma Community College, Tacoma Nature Center, Titlow Park, Wapato Hills Park, Wapato Lake Park, and the Depave event on South Thompson and South Yakima avenues at South 46th Street. TACOMA PUBLIC SCHOOLS WINS CUBE AWARD The National School Boards Association has named Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) as the winner of its 2016 CUBE Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence. The CUBE Award recognizes the leadership of urban school districts where effective school board governance has an impact on student achievement. In 2012, Tacoma Public Schools set a goal of graduating 85 percent of its students by 2020. Last year, the four-year graduation rate rose to 82.6 percent, up from 55.3 percent in 2007. This progress and the district’s intentional focus on strategic initiatives demonstrate how TPS is leading the way. “What many urban school boards do is make the mistake of saying, ‘Hey, let’s get this better,’ but they’re not specific about what ‘better’ means,” Superintendent Carla Santorno told Del Stover in the October issue of the American School Board Journal. “We were very specific. We set goals that would be indicators and benchmarks to tell us when we’re making a difference. We really focused and prioritized things that make a difference.” TPS Board President Karen Vialle, Vice President Catherine Ushka and Superintendent Santorno will formally accept the award at the 49th CUBE Annual Conference in Miami later this month.

#1 MONKEYWRENCH TO MAKE RARE TACOMA APPEARANCE

SOUTH SOUND WALKERS TAKE STEPS TO IMPROVE HEART AND BRAIN HEALTH, SUPPORT AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION/AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION

One of every three Americans will succumb to heart disease and stroke. That’s why on Saturday, Oct. 8, South Sound residents will walk to raise awareness about prevention and to make a difference for all those that are currently or will be affected by heart disease and stroke. The South Sound Heart and Stroke Walk, sponsored nationally by Subway and locally by MultiCare, benefits the local American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The event is a familyfriendly and pet-friendly three-mile walk/ run with a one-mile survivor route. Bill Robertson, president and CEO of MultiCare, is serving his second year as volunteer chairperson. Walkers participate for many personal reasons, from survivors celebrating their

recovery to families honoring a loved one. Many more walk for their own good health, like Joe Hildalgo who recently lost 90 pounds and dramatically lowered his blood pressure. It all started when a co-worker at MultiCare had a health scare. “Somebody on my team had a heart attack so of course all of us older and overweight fellas had to look into ourselves and say ‘Do I want this to happen to me?’ I have two boys who aren’t married yet and I want to be around for that and when they have their own kids.” Hildalgo made healthy lifestyle changes that included walking and other forms of exercise, as well as healthier eating. He will walk on October 8 not only for his health, but in support of his colleague who had the heart attack.

TACOMA MAN TURNS HIMSELF IN TO FACE A MURDER CHARGE L. Street in the city of Tacoma. Patrol officers arrived at that location and found a 41-year-old black male, later identified as Hyson J. Sabb, in the front yard suffering from a gunshot wound. Emergency medical personnel transported Sabb to a nearby hospital where he died a short time later. In the street in front of the yard where Sabb was located was a white Lexus sedan. It was parked in the middle of the block with the door open and the engine running. That vehicle was registered to Yancy W.

Ray. There were four 9mm shell casings and one live 9mm round in the front yard of the house. Investigators found a 9mm handgun in the bushes along the south side of the house. Witnesses say the argument was over a woman and that Ray left, then returned a short time later and opened fire, killing Sabb. Ray turned himself in to Pierce County Deputies. Bail is set at $2,000,000. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Tacoma City Councilman Robert Thoms says more needs to be done. From page A1 “Last year and into this year, the state of Washington was ranked number saw because they know what it’s like one for property crimes, and the city to fall victim to thieves. “We’ve had a of Tacoma was number one in the truck stolen and our yard broken into state,” said Thoms, who is working to change that. just this month,” said Harris.

Alexander says his girls will love that dad finally has a work truck. Despite the crime, he never lost faith in humanity and says the gifts and donations are a testament to what he’s always taught his daughters. “This was a tough time for me and you guys have just showed me, what I already knew – that there are far more good people than bad people out here, and I really do appreciate and admire my community,” said Alexander.

The Pierce County Prosecutor’s office arraigned Yancy Wade Ray, 50, on Sept. 22 on one count of second degree murder for the death of Hyson Sabb, 41. Ray is also charged with one count of first degree unlawful possession of a firearm. “The defendant decided to solve an argument with a handgun,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “Now one man is dead and the defendant could spend the rest of his life in prison.” On Sept. 3, a shooting was reported in the 1500 block of South

In addition to a heart-pumping walk, the event will also feature booths with fun activities, a kid’s zone, healthy snacks, and sandwiches from Subway. Survivors of heart disease get honorary red caps; stroke survivors get white caps; and child survivors get Heart Hero capes. Money raised through the South Sound Heart and Stroke Walk are devoted to the mission of the American Heart Association, supporting programs such as stroke awareness campaigns, CPR, and research funding. Currently 29 research projects in Washington state are funded by the American Heart Association for a total of $5.4 million.

Last year around this time, Tacoma hosted its first ever Out of the Darkness Walk for suicide prevention, and it’s coming back again this year to Wright Park on Oct. 8. Registrations are being accepted online until noon on Oct. 7 at outofthedarkness. org. Anyone who would like to participate can also register in person at the Walk from the time check-in begins at 9 a.m. until the Walk starts at 10 a.m. Walk donations are accepted until Dec. 31 for those who may want to donate or support a friend or relative who will be participating in the Walk. This year’s fundraising goal set at $35,000. While there is no cost to participate, when you walk in the Out of the Darkness Walk you join the effort with hundreds of thousands of people to raise awareness and funds that allow the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy and support survivors of suicide loss. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is the nation's largest non-profit dedicated to lowering the rates of suicide. Led by CEO Robert Gebbia and headquarted in New York, AFSP has local chapters in all 50 states. Thanks to generous walkers and donors, AFSP has been able to set a goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20 percent by 2025. Jesse Pasquan is a board member of the AFSP Washington State chapter and committee chair of Tacoma’s Out of the Darkness Walk. He is also Student Voice Representative at the Washington State College Campus Cohort Suicide Prevention Program and a Washington Social Media Ambassador at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Pasquan said that last year’s inaugural walk went so well that it’s becoming an annual event, having exceeded the fundraising goal in 2015 by $4,000. He and a committee of six volunteers plan Tacoma’s walk. “Two of them were on the committee last year, and the others are volunteers that

Escape

reached out last year and wanted to be more involved,” he said. The committee has a lot planned for this year’s Walk. The guest speaker will be Leilani Walker, one of the Tacoma Walk committee members. A firefighter and currently in school with plans to go to Vanderbilt University to become a cardiac surgeon, Walker will talk about how suicide has affected her life in various ways. The “bead ceremony” is a particularly important part of the Walk in which registered walkers are given a chance to talk about their loss. “This is probably my favorite part of the opening ceremony,” Pasquan said, “seeing everyone in the crowd raising their beads in support of someone talking.” Food to fuel up on will be available and a yoga instructor from Good Karma Center for Joy in Tacoma will be there to help walkers warm up with some light yoga poses and stretching before the Walk commences. Numerous resources will be available at the Walk: Bridges: A Center for Grieving Children from Mary Bridge hospital, which offers counseling for youth who have lost a sibling or family member The Eagle Center, a branch of the YMCA that does child development work with low income middle schools for tutoring in the arts and also works with family members who need financial tutoring, among its other family programs The Rainbow Center and Oasis Youth Center for the LGBT and questioning community Rebuilding Hope, offering advocacy and therapy through the Sexual Assault Center of Pierce County Sponsors this year include Group Health, DaVita Healthcare Partners, Northwest Stage and Minuteman Press. The Walk route consists of four laps around Wright Park, about 3.6 miles – a little over a 5k. “We welcome and encourage people of all ages and abilities to walk,” Pasquan said. Those who may have questions about the Walk route or the Walk itself can contact Pasquan at (253) 212-8122 or e-mail the.jpasquan@gmail.com.

celebrating the Hilltop community was dedicated. About 300 people took the opportunity to swim in the new pool. From now on, the pool will be open daily. It includes Tacoma’s only indoor spraypad, designed especially for toddlers. Admission is free for those 4 and younger, who must be accompanied by a caregiver. Pool hours are 5:45 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. On weekends, late afternoons may be reserved for pool parties. Two party rooms are available for rental adjacent to the pool. Open swim hours are 10:30 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday, 6:30-8 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 3-5:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and 12:30-2:15 p.m. and 2:454:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Swimming lessons, water exercise, lap-lane and recreational swimming opportunities also are scheduled. The complete schedule is online on the People's pool web page at www.metroparkstacoma.org/ peoples-pool. Admission is $4 adults, $3 for youth ages 5 to 17 and free for children 4 and younger. Water exercise sessions cost $4. So bring a swimsuit, a towel and a sense of adventure. In contrast to the subterranean atmosphere typical of most indoor pools, the new pool is bathed in natural light, which pours through huge windows. And in addition to the new pool, the center’s locker rooms have been upgraded. The new pool is the result of a collaborative effort driven by the desires of neighborhood residents. The City of Tacoma owns the building and coordinated construction, with financial support from Metro Parks Tacoma, which

Pa cifi c

From page A1

manages the center, and the state Department of Commerce. To celebrate the new pool, Metro Parks is offering a special introductory membership to the People’s Community Center and pool of $23 a month with no enrollment fee. A full list of fees is available online at www.metroparkstacoma. org/peoples-memberships. Scholarships are available for people who would have difficulty paying the fees; interested people can call the center at (253) 591-5321 or stop by the front desk. The pool features stair-step access to a shallow swimming area and submerged bench, perfect for introductory swimming lessons. The entire pool is relatively shallow, so even non-swimmers can enjoy it. Key pool elements include: • A spraypad especially for toddlers • A current channel and vortex, designed for both fun and therapy • Floating pads for walk-on-water play • Two, poolside basketball hoops • Two party rooms The walk-on-water feature is similar to those at popular water parks. The floating pads are shaped and colored to look like lily pads and log slices, and are anchored beneath a cargo net, which stretches from one side of the pool to the other. The trick is to use the cargo net for balance as you walk across the pool. The side-by-side basketball hoops are ready for half-court, 3-on-3 basketball games. The current channel is a smaller version of the lazy river at Metro Parks’ Stewart Heights pool, minus the floating tubes. The high-velocity vortex and current also can be used for physical or occupational therapy. The pool meets all Americans with Disabilities Act standards. It’s equipped with a poolside lift and a set of closely spaced, parallel railings to ease entry and exit via stairs.

accident occurred. The groups also wants better communication about planned projects on the tideflats. The timing of Monday’s meeting didn’t calm their fears. The meeting had been in the works for weeks, but an announcement to the public was posted on the city’s website on Thursday, Sept. 22 – two business days before the event at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. “This meeting begins an important dialogue about the planning processes the City of Tacoma and Port of Tacoma will conduct in the upcoming months and beyond,” said Mayor Marilyn Strickland in the press release announcement. She, however, was called away from the meeting before it began because of a family emergency and left Deputy Mayor Ryan Mello to chair the discussion. “This is not a one-meeting-anddone sort of effort,” he said of the meeting. The meeting included Port of Tacoma and Port of Seattle officials, union leaders, owners of businesses on the tideflats, city staff and council members from Tacoma and Fife as well as directors from Citizens for a Healthy Bay, Economic Development Board of TacomaPierce County and the TacomaPierce County Chamber. They gathered to hear briefings about the Northwest Seaport Alliance, a one-year-old partnership between Seattle and Tacoma ports to coordinate operations under one umbrella rather than compete for shipping businesses. They also came to the meeting to hear about the city’s intentions to start a subarea planning process that would review zoning, environmental and allowable uses of the tideflats’ industrial properties. Subarea plans are basically mini comprehensive plans for specific areas to address growth projections, transportation needs, landuse definitions and environmental issues. The process would take about two years and come at a cost of about $1 million if the City Council moves forward. A tentative schedule would have stakeholders meeting next year with a draft plan possible by the winter of 2018 and a roster of hearings and public

forums along the way. “It’s very intense, and it’s not cheap,” Tacoma Planning Director Peter Huffman said, noting that similar plans around Tacoma had helped the city receive grants for key projects, including the Link light rail expansion, so one for the tideflats would likely translate into federal and state funding for projects. “It shows that Tacoma has its act together and has done its homework.” Port of Tacoma Commission President Connie Bacon was skeptical about the idea, questioning the necessity, time and expense of conducting an extensive review of the tideflats when there already is a roster of rules and plans that range from the city’s comprehensive plan to the Growth Management Act and the shoreline management program. The Port of Tacoma is also in the early processes of updating its strategic plan to reflect changes in the industry as well as the operational changes born from the Northwest Seaport Alliance. “We are very much at the beginning, so there is much more to come,” said Port of Tacoma’s Government Affair Director Sean Egan. The notion of conducting a subarea plan for the tideflats comes at a time when rising grassroots efforts have questioned the proposed projects on the waterfront, namely the now-cancelled plans for what would have been the largest natural gas-to-methanol plant in the world and the ongoing efforts by Puget Sound Energy to site a $275 million LNG facility on the tideflats that would primarily provide liquefied natural gas to container ship operators (although Totem Ocean Marine Express is the only known customer at this point). The proposed LNG plant is in the final stages of its permitting process, but has a handful of lawsuits and utility decisions to address before construction could actually start. The most recent news on that front surrounds PSE’s appeal to block the disclosure of emergency response scenarios. The utility company claims the information should be considered confidential since releasing it could make the 8 million gallon facility a target for terrorist attacks. PSE will allow people to view the data only after signing a nondisclosure agreement that forbids people from copying or discussing the information. Absent that infor-

mation, Redline Tacoma members and critics of the proposed facility are combing through more than 200 pages of engineering assessments that Chicago Bridge and Iron submitted to PSE regarding the plant and its safety features, which largely concluded that the plant would be safe and any accident would be contained within the 30-acre site. A review of that information was included in the plant’s Environmental Impact Statement by an outside consultant, Braemar Engineering. That review suggested that the plant would largely be safe, but mentioned that the plans were not detailed enough for any definitive conclusions, which would have to come after only the final design work is completed. “[A]n LNG incident scenario involving release of LNG at or near the dock (vapor dispersion and thermal radiation) will extend beyond the security fence to the adjacent property,” the firm noted. That said, the review mentions that LNG is historically safe when properly handled. “Often, the hazards associated with LNG are compared with, and mistakenly assumed to be more severe than, diesel fuel, gasoline, propane and compressed natural gas,” the review stated. “This is not an accurate assessment because LNG vapor is lighter than air above temperatures of -160°F, which means that vapor at ambient temperature will rise and dissipate, thereby reducing vapor concentration such that ignition is not possible.” Sightline Institute Senior Research Associate Tarika Powell has been monitoring PSE’s proposal on several fronts and questions PSE’s offer to show people the full safety information only after they sign non-disclosure agreements as well as the utility’s claims that an accident would be contained within the facility’s fenceline. The pier it would use to fuel TOTE ships and the trucks PSE would use to transport the LNG to other customers, for example, would be located outside the site’s 30-acre footprint. “It would be impossible for the vapor to stay within the site,” she said, noting that the recently released reports fall short of the detailed data, as PSE is seeking a ruling to keep Redline Tacoma, Sightline and other groups from viewing the reports. “The bottom line is they need to show the data.”

RENDERING COURTESY OF TACOMA PUBLIC SCHOOLS

t SAMI From page A1

The 31,000-square-foot building is set to open next fall and offer eight SAMI classrooms, including two science labs, an early learning center and space for Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium staff to hold public lectures and presentations. “We want our students to have access to the best minds,” SAMI Co-Director Liz Minks said, noting the courses will work with zoo biologists and zoologists. “We really want our students to learn at a very high level.” Once open for students, the $17.5 million SAMI building will have a capacity to educate 400 students in an environmentally themed building designed by Tacoma’s McGranahan Architects and built by Tumwater-based Forma Construction. SAMI will be housed in portables at the former Camp 6 Logging Museum site along Five Mile Drive until then. The location at the former museum site is a temporary move from SAMI’s former waterfront campus that was needed for construction of the stormwater treatment facility at the Pearl Street entrance to Point Defiance. The joint-use facility is a partnership between the school district and Metro Parks Tacoma, with the joint mission of promoting environmental education at all ages. One program in the works will have preschool students from around the district attend a one or two-week session at the new SAMI facility to learn sustainability lessons at an early age. “We aren’t trying to be a

school for just particular students from the North End,” SAMI Co-Director Ralph Harrison said. “It’s going to be a community resource.” The facility is funded from the district’s 2013 school construction package that also covers the cost of either major renovations or full replacements of 14 schools around Tacoma. Much of that work is well underway. “There are a lot of things going on,” said the school district’s Facilities Communication Coordinator Alicia Lawver. Crews around the district have been renovating or expanding six schools this summer with work on four schools in the works. Wilson High School, for example, will have new electrical, heating and ventilation systems. A new wing and weight room opened this year, while a new track and music building will open in the spring. McCarver Elementary School received a full renovation. An official grand opening is set for Oct. 18. Wainwright is being replaced with a new facility that is set to open to students no later than Jan. 3. Stewart Middle School is undergoing an overhaul that will open next year. Arlington and Mary Lyon elementary schools will be replaced. Money for the roster of construction projects comes from the $500 million bond package voters approved in 2013, more than a decade after the previous renovation-funding package swayed voters.

Our View

WhO IS YOUR PIck fOR PReSIdeNt? The nation is just more than a month away from selecting the next resident of the White House, and it seems that Election Day couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come fast enough for most of us. The first presidential debate between the candidates from the two major parties is over, now fodder for pundits and creators of social media memes to run alongside cute cat videos and pithy messages about un-friending Facebook followers because of their political views. In the left corner is former First Lady turned Senator turned Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who received the Democratic Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination in a contentous fight against two-term Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Representing the Republican Party in the right corner is real estate developer turned television celebrity Donald Trump, who is the last person standing in a field that started with more than a dozen Republican presidential hopefuls. A Clinton-versus-Trump decision is one many Americans are pondering with pinched noses and frowns if not outright calls for â&#x20AC;&#x153;do-overs.â&#x20AC;? But here we are. There are two other nationwide candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party member Jill Stein. But their campaigns have so far failed to gain traction with polls falling below the 15-percent threshold set by the Commission on Presidential Debates to qualify for the primetime debates. Clinton and Trump will face off again two more times before Election Day. Their next verbal bout will come Oct. 9 with a debate in St. Louis, followed by a live face off on Oct. 19 in Las Vegas. The vice presidential debates between Tim Kaine and Mike Pence will be held Oct. 4 in Virginia. Each debate will be televised commercial free as well as streamed for viewing on mobile devices and computers. Suffice it to say that Americans might suffer from political overload by the time they cast their ballots. Sure, there are stark contrasts between the candidates, their views of what is â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrong with the countryâ&#x20AC;? and what they would â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixâ&#x20AC;? if they were elected to serve in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest office. The election should not be taken lightly. The world is a dangerous place and America faces some tough discussions when it comes to everything from how to address the shrinking middle class to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in world affairs and race relations within its own borders. To that end, we at the Tacoma Weekly are providing a way for readers to vote their thoughts about the candidates and the issues facing America. The Tacoma Weekly is conducting an online poll in which readers can cast their virtual vote for their presidential candidate and comment on why they support their candidate or what issues fed into that decision. The site will updated weekly to provide readers with an ongoing percentage of returns. Give it a look at TacomaWeekly.com/presidentialpoll.

cUmUlAtIve cOStS dRIve emPlOYeR decISIONS

By Don C. Brunell

The $15 minimum wage is an example of elected officials with tunnel vision passing sweeping legislation while ignoring the cumulative impacts of all of the other government mandates on employers. They only zero-in on the costs and benefits of a single issue, such as the $15 an hour wage, when they ought to focus on all of the taxes, fees, regulations and laws. Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ordinance took effect on April 1, 2015. It directs businesses with fewer than 500 employees to pay the $15 an hour wage starting in 2021. Employers with 500 or more employees (either in Seattle or nationally) will reach that level in three years. The University of Washington is charged with only studying the ordinance impacts on Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses, workers and the overall economy. Earlier this spring, UW researchers determined that it had a minimal effect; however, they learned through employer surveys to anticipate businesses increasing prices for goods and services. Meanwhile, some restaurants are already adding surcharges to their tabs. In Seattle, Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurants added a 2.55 percent â&#x20AC;&#x153;living wage surchargeâ&#x20AC;? that goes to the house as a way to offset the costs of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage hike. If minimum wage expansion was not

enough, earlier this month Mayor Ed Murray and the council unanimously passed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;secure schedulingâ&#x20AC;? ordinance. It required two weeks advance notice of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedules, a minimum of 10 hours between shifts and employers paying workers if schedules are changed after they are posted. That is called "predictability pay." It is an administrative nightmare and would apply to quick food services, such as fast food and coffee shops, and retail employers with 500 or more workers worldwide. It tags full-service restaurants with more than 500 employees and 40 establishments. The combined impact of both city ordinances should be studied by UW. It is not just Seattle impacted by the minimum wage; at the state level, voters are asked to approve I-1433. If approved, it would step-up the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hourly minimum wage from $9.47 to $13.50 by 2020. It also requires employers to provide paid sick leave starting in 2018. Seattle adopted its paid sick leave law in 2011. Workers in companies with 5 to 249 employees accrue a minimum of one hour of paid sick and â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe timeâ&#x20AC;? for every 40 hours worked. Workers in companies with 250 or more employees accumulate a minimum of one hour for every 30 hours worked. The point is that our elected officials need to quit looking at issues in isolation. They must consider the impacts of all of the other federal, state and local

taxes, fees and regulations to see the true picture of what they are doing to employers and job opportunities. It is total costs of doing business that drive hiring and investment decisions. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;pencil outâ&#x20AC;? in Seattle, San Francisco or Los Angeles (all cities that adopted the $15 minimum wage), there is no way to stay in business there. The same applies to states like Washington. The unintended consequences of the current approach are reduced work hours, fewer jobs, business closures or relocations, and acceleration in the pace of automation. Recently, Forrester Research reported new artificial intelligence systems and robots have replaced 6 percent of all U.S. jobs in the last five years. Robots are penetrating restaurants as well. According to retired McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USA CEO Ed Rensi, it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who is inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, the reality in this highly competitive world is that costs drive employer decisions. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

hUmAN deceNcY mOveS cIvIlIzAtION fORWARd

By James A. Haught

In the semi-comic Cold War movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming,â&#x20AC;? a deadly Soviet Union nuclear submarine, capable of killing millions of Americans, suffered engine trouble and was forced to surface in a little New England fishing village. After some awkward dealings, villagers with shotguns and rifles went to the waterfront. Soviet sailors lined the deck with machine guns. Weapons aimed, they faced each other in a tense standoff. If anyone pulled a trigger, a double massacre would occur. Suddenly, a little boy, watching the drama from a church belfry, fell and was caught tangled in a rope, suspended high above the ground, screeching. Abruptly, both Russians and Americans put down their guns and rushed to rescue the child. Sailors formed a human pyramid and untangled him. Then both Russians and Americans joined in a hugging, back-slapping celebration. Village girls kissed Russian sailors. U.S. warplanes arrived to destroy the stranded sub, but villagers shielded it with their fishing boats and escorted it safely back to sea. The movie had a deep meaning: Human decency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the urge to save a child â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is stronger than political conflicts and military hostilities. A similar message occurred on Christmas Eve, 1914, when British and German soldiers paused their hideous trench warfare on the Western Front for a spontaneous truce. They sang carols to each other, shouted holiday greetings, then got out of their bun-

kers to meet in No Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Land, where they traded small gifts and cordialities. Afterward, commanders had difficulty forcing the men to resume shooting each other. Actually, human decency is the lifeblood of civilization. Abraham Lincoln poetically called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the better angels of our nature.â&#x20AC;? The desire to help each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least not kill each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; keeps humanity surviving and thriving. Philosophers call it humanism, a craving to reduce slaughter and make life better for everyone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the driving force of social advancement. Every government program that reduces poverty, improves health, prevents violence, upgrades nutrition, guarantees human rights, betters education, secures housing, assures equality, cures disease, enforces fairness, etc., is a step in the process. And decency slowly is winning. Several scholars have written books outlining progress that has elevated personal living conditions. For example, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker asserts that rampant killing was 1,000 times worse in medieval times than today. In his classic 2011 book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined,â&#x20AC;? he notes that international warfare has virtually vanished in the 21st century â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that murder, rape, genocide, torture, wife-beating, lynching, gaybashing, dueling, racial attacks, and even cruelty to animals are vastly less than in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decline of violence may be the most significant and least-appreciated development in the history of our species,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is easy to forget

how dangerous life used to be, how deeply brutality was once woven into the fabric of daily existence.â&#x20AC;? Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instant flashing of lurid news scenes makes it appear that terrible killings are everywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misleading. All statistics show a clear decline in savagery. Humanity is kinder and fairer than before. During a June news conference, President Obama told a young questioner: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you had to choose any moment to be born in human historyâ&#x20AC;Ś youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d choose this time. The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed than it has ever been. It is more educated than it has ever been. Terrible things happen around the world every single day, but the trend lines of progress are unmistakable.â&#x20AC;? These improvements arise from the best human urges. Intelligent democracy makes it possible for kindly instincts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the humane empathy locked in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner mind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to prevail. Researchers at the University of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greater Good Science Center assert that compassion evolved as humanity did, and is crucial for social progress. As long as supposed enemies drop their guns to rescue a dangling child, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope that decency can outweigh the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ugliness, and civilization can keep on improving. James Haught, syndicated by PeaceVoice, is editor emeritus of West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest newspaper, The Charleston Gazette-Mail.

“Employers and employees alike can reach their common goals when they work together – all it takes is commitment and a desire to not settle for mediocrity.” – William Manzanares

By William Manzanares william@tacomaweekly.com

In the April 29 Tacoma Weekly article “Local entrepreneur talks about the quandary of hiring,” I discussed my three-tier hiring procedure that has worked out rather well for me despite the difficulties of finding quality people to hire. Granted, it’s not a perfect system, but I can say that it has allowed me to find some top-notch employees over the years. I received some nice feedback from other entrepreneurs on that article and now I’d like to revisit it and talk about another aspect of attracting good people – how to hang on to them. A high turnover of employees is not only expensive for your business; it looks bad when customers come in and there’s someone new at the counter every time. This sends negative messages to customers and their first thought could be that there is something ineffective with the management and/or that employees are not well treated. A high employee turnover also prevents customers from forming solid, long-term working relationships with your employees, missing an opportunity for that personal touch that keeps customers coming back. Employee retention is a two-way street, the responsibility of both the employer and employee. For the employer, you must offer room for advancement and keep an eye on your employees’ performance to find out which ones are worthy of promotions or raises. Another important thing you must offer is training. Oftentimes it seems that employers expect people from the workforce to come into the job already trained, but in reality, you as the employer have to put in training hours and train your people to how you want them to be. And I’m not talking about giving them a two-hour lecture, then turning them loose on the sales floor. I’m talking about day-to-day, hands-on training that gives employees the tools to do their job the way you expect it to be done because you have modeled that behavior for them. Staying involved with your workers and clearly communicating your expectations to them are key. For the employee, you must stand out among your peers – to go that extra mile at every opportunity to show that your heart is in your work and that your mind is as

well. There are numerous ways of doing this, starting simply with arriving to work and getting there a few minutes early to show that you are ready to get busy. You know how some of my best people got a job and got promoted? They just showed up. They were there on time, they were consistent and they went above and beyond everyone else in their areas of expertise. They never complained and they did their job to the best of their ability – in fact, they stretched and grew their abilities because they learned from their job. When your boss asks you to do something, be the type of worker that says, “I can,” not “I can’t.” Be the best. Show up on time and work harder than your counterparts because if you don’t, someone else will. This

is how you get noticed and become an employee that your employer wants to hang on to. A book I highly recommend is “The 10X Rule” by Grant Cardone. He does a great job of explaining why some people fail and others succeed, which basically depends on not behaving like everybody else and not settling for average results. This certainly has worked for me as an employer. I haven’t fired anyone in so long that I can’t remember the last time I did it, and I have people who have worked for me for more than a decade. Employers and employees alike can reach their common goals when they work together – all it takes is commitment and a desire to not settle for mediocrity.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL IMPACT Supporting the Economic Growth of Our Community

PHOTO BY STEVE DUNKELBERGER

Federal, regional, state and local leaders gathered with the Puyallup Tribal Council last spring to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC). Joining in on the event were (back row from left): Fife Mayor Tim Curtis; former Congressman Norm Dicks and Puyallup Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Larry LaPointe; (front row from left) Puyallup Tribal Council Members Marguerite Edwards and Sylvia Miller; Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove; Senator Maria Cantwell; Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud; Gov. Jay Inslee; Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen; Congressman Denny Heck; and Puyallup Tribal Council Members David Bean and Tim Reynon.

The most urban of Native American tribes, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians continues to be a critical component of the South Sound economy. As Pierce County’s sixth largest employer, a donor to a broad range of charitable organizations, and a major funder of housing, roads, education and environmental projects, the Puyallup Tribe stands as a model for taking care of not only its own membership, but sharing its wealth

among the broader community as well. The Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County. With a payroll of more than 3,100 people that work in the Tribe’s businesses, government, economic development corporation, school, and health and housing authorities – approximately 70 percent of whom are non-Native – employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits.

In 2015 the Tribe spent over $491 million. This spending supports communities by providing good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and through purchases of goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors, construction companies and more. From sponsoring local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise

suffer or cease to exist, to protecting the environment, funding crime prevention, city improvement projects and healthcare, the Tribe maintains its commitment to honoring its destiny as “the generous people,” the meaning of the Tribe’s very name “Puyallup.” In the following pages, you’ll read more about what a valuable community partner the Puyallup Tribe of Indians is to the region and the state.

TRIBE HONORS ALL VETERANS WITH MEMORIAL WALL Under a beautiful sunny sky on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2015, the Puyallup Tribe held the formal dedication ceremony for its new Veterans Memorial Wall. Gathering outside of Takopid Health Center with men and women in dress uniforms representing many branches of military service, tribal members mixed with friends and family, visitors and honored guests for this important occasion. A number of honored guests were present for the dedication, including U.S. Senator Patty Murray; U.S. Representative Denny Heck; Jim Baumgart, policy advisor on behalf of Washington State Governor Jay Inslee; and Steven J. Gill, tribal liaison and administrator for the Veterans Services Division of the Washington State Dept. of Veterans Affairs. “Every time I come here I always see something new and exciting happening in your community,” Murray said. “Many people may not realize that nationwide, Native Americans have one of the highest representations in the military, so the memorial is well deserved to say the least and it’s wonderful to see one that so beautifully reflects the Tribe’s connection to our natural environment.” The memorial features benches to sit on, new landscaping to admire including young evergreen trees and eight bronze medallions, 36-inches in diameter and representing the eight branches of service: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, National Guard and Air National Guard. Six flag poles line the outer rim of the memorial to fly the American flag, Puyallup Tribe of Indians flag, Canadian flag, Washington State flag, Tribal

Six flags were raised for the first time on the day of the dedication ceremony.

Puyallup Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud gave the opening remarks before inviting the rest of the Tribal Council up to the podium. “Today, here, we have a place of peace – a place to think of our veterans in a good way, a place of honor for a special group of men and women, a place to give special recognition for without our veterans and their sacrifices, what would our world be?“ he said. “I’m honored and humbled to be a part of this Veterans Day celebration and the dedication of this amazing Veterans Memorial Wall.”

Puyallup Vice-Chairwoman Roleen Hargrove described the memorial as “a sacred circle filled with a lot of blood, sweat and tears that was constructed with love, with gratitude and most of all with honor.” “When you come, we invite you – our veterans invite you – to come within this circle and pray, recognize and most of all honor all of our veterans, all of our ancestors, for the fight that they have gone through to get us to where we are today,” she said. “Please, whenever you come don’t just pass by – enter and remember those that fight for our freedom, Native and non-Native alike.”

STEWARDS OF THE LAND AND WATERS Puyallup Tribe dedicates resources to protecting steelhead Caring for the environment and all living creatures has always been a way of life for the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Going back untold centuries before the first settlers arrived and up to the present day, the Tribe has never faltered in being caretakers of the natural world, and this is shown admirably in the Tribe’s efforts to protect our waterways and the varieties of fish that live there. Most recently, one of the Tribe’s two fisheries has taken proactive measures to save a disappearing run of wild steelhead by installing an acclimation pond on the White River, one of six acclimation ponds installed and operated by the Tribe’s Fisheries Department. With wild steelhead stocks thorughouth the Northwest showing less than stellar survival, this new and different approach will hopefully improve return rates of wild steelhead. The acclimation pond was added in 2016 and is the only one dedicated to bringing steelhead out of the hatchery and into the wild in order to boost their numbers and bring more adults back. “Twenty years ago, we had strong numbers with upward of 2,000 adults returning to the White River alone,” said the Tribe’s Resource Protection Manager Russ Ladley, “and now their numbers have averaged around 300 over

When filled with water, this acclimation pond can hold between 25,000 and 50,000 juvenile steelhead and should produce between 200-300 adults.

the past decade. That’s when we decided we’ve got to do something.” One of the proven methods of improving survival is to take fish away from a totally artificial environment and put them in a more natural environment during the early

imprinting stage of their rearing. This is what an acclimation pond achieves, and in this case the new acclimation pond moves juvenile steelhead up to the headwaters in a more natural water temperature regime. This removes the young fish from the water provided from ground water wells at the hatchery and places them in a “real world environment,” as fish behavior is greatly influenced by water temperature. “In this case, we typically move the fish in January or February and rear them in those ponds for about four to five months and then cut them loose,” Ladley said. “They’re allowed to volitionally move out so you basically open up a screen where they can move out into the creeks which then go to the mainstem White River and then into the Puyallup on their way to Commencemnt Bay.” The pond can hold between 25,000 and 50,000 juvenile steelhead and should produce between 200-300 adults back to this operation. It will take three years to determine returning numbers. As Ladley explained it, “You get the water’s natural chemistry going to the fish, the fish imprint on that as their home and two to three years from now will hopefully head back there to spawn.”

Special to Tacoma Weekly

wo months ago, Dr. Julie Peterson opened her practice, Vital Family Chiropractic in Lakewood. After being a practicing chiropractor for 16 years in Charleston, SC she moved to Lakewood to provide her services to the Puget Sound community. Peterson fell in love with the Lakewood/Steilacoom area after visiting Charles Wright Academy, where her daughter attends. A passionate speaker and chiropractic motivator, she has been devoted to helping families achieve optimum health and wellness through excellent chiropractic care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is my goal to educate and adjust as many families as possible toward optimal health so that innate intelligence will be at 100 percent,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her practice has a focus on providing services to patients of all ages. Peterson estimates that 40 to 60 of the average 100 patients she sees a day are babies or children. Her specialty is pediatric chiropractic adjustments. Vital Family Chiropractic is a family friendly practice with an emphasis on affordability and a patient first mindset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not for the trend in medicine where doctors think they should make patients wait. I respect my patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time and know they are busy like everyone else,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. Vital Family Chiropractic is a practice with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;old doctorâ&#x20AC;? style and a modern touch. Typically chiropractic practice is associated with helping with back and neck pain or migraines, but chiropractors actually work with the central nervous system to properly adjust the spine to alleviate a wide variety of issues that a patient may be experiencing in his

or her body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically a patient comes to me for one of two reasons. About half my patients come to me because their body is hindering them from doing something in their life. I try and read body signals to understand how this is affecting their life,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other half of my patients come for adjustments as preventative measures from developing issues in the future.â&#x20AC;? Whether you have a physical concern currently or are looking for preventative treatment, Vital Family Chiropractic is a great place for any patient or any age. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too early to start caring for your body.

LAKES FOR 3A PCL LEAD

WINNERS! (top) The Chief Leschi offense could muster just eight points in the first half, but felt they were beginning to gain some momentum. The Warriors blew up for 32 points in the second half. (middle) After spotting Winlock 21 points in the first quarter, and 28 in the first half, the Warrior defense held the Cardinals to just one touchdown in the second half.

LATE HEROICS NAB CHIEF LESCHI FIRST HOME WIN By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

efore the season began, it looked like one of those matchups that just jumped off the calendar. Two high-powered football teams separated by just 12.2 miles, yet since they played in different leagues for decades, it was a matchup that wasn’t regularly in the cards. With the advent of the new 3A Pierce County League (PCL) and the dissolution of the 3A Narrows and 3A South Puget Sound League, the table was now set for an annual showdown between the Lincoln Abes and the Lakes Lancers. Even though the Lancers had dropped some tough non-league games to Eastlake and Bellarmine Prep, and the Abes lost their non-league season opener against O’Dea, the game on Friday, Sept. 23 was going to be of supreme importance in the big picture. The winner would take an immediate grip on the PCL steering wheel. Both teams entered the game on a big upswing. Lincoln had basically demolished the Bethel Braves in the week prior by a score of 56-13. On the flip side, the Lancers had welcomed a talented Wilson Ram team to their home out in Lakewood and was in control throughout a 41-13 victory. It truly looked as though those in attendance at historic Lincoln Bowl were going to witness a sort of spectacle along the lines of Ali versus Frazier. Of course, we exaggerate a little, but everything leading up to this game screamed “epic.” When the final buzzer sounded at Lincoln Bowl, spectators and fans from both sides were left a little shell-shocked by Lincoln’s 40-0 drubbing of the Lancers. Not only were they probably not expecting a wipeout, they certainly weren’t expecting a shutout. Lakes entered the game ready to stuff the Abes at the line of scrimmage and for the first Lincoln drive, it worked like a charm. The vaunted Lincoln running attack was pushed back. Lakes answered with an 11-play drive that saw them move the ball all the way down to the Lincoln two-yard line. That is when the Lancers began shooting themselves in the foot. Facing third and goal from the Abe two-yard line a bad pitch saw the ball skip all the way back to the 17-yard line. Lakes would go for it on fourth down, but quarterback Cody Roe’s pass in the end-zone was broken up by Lincoln’s Zavier Huebner. It would then take Lincoln just three plays to u See lincoln / page A13

Normally it’s the winning teams and the perennial powerhouses that get the lion’s share of the press, no matter where you go. It’s the nature of the beast, and by midseason, when the league races begin to heat up, the spotlight on the teams still in the running becomes much brighter. That being said, there’s just no way to pass over what happened down at Chief Leschi Stadium last Friday, Sept. 23. For the first time since the Warriors opened their new stadium in 2012, Chief Leschi actually won a game on their home field. It’s not as if we’re talking about a decade’s worth of losses, but 20 games without a home victory is definitely worth noting when the tables finally turn for the home team. When Chief Leschi erased a 21-point lead, and later, scored the gamewinning touchdown with just 2.5 seconds left to go up 40-35, it was a big deal for the players, coaches, students, families and Puyallup Tribe. With time running out in the game, Chief Leschi trailed Winlock 35-32. Warriors’ sophomore quarterback Kahea Baker quickly brought the offense to the 19-yard line and the coaches were motioning to spike the ball with less than 10 seconds left on the clock. Instead, Baker took the snap, rolled to his right and hit sophomore Christopher Whitford, who leaped high into the air to snag the game winner. It was a win on several levels for the team. The Warriors came into the game against the Winlock Cardinals on the heels of what was truly a demoralizing road loss the previous week at undefeated Rainier. Following what head coach Ty Satiacum said was a horrible week of practice, the Warriors ran into an opponent that was not only hitting on all cylinders, but were also physically imposing. The 63-0 defeat was quite the blow to the young squad, and Satiacum wasn’t sure how they were going to bounce back after it. “Getting beat by Rainier was humbling,” said Satiacum. “Rainier is tough. They were like some grown men out there playing. It was tough to bounce back from, but at the

SPORTSWATCH PLU’S EDDIE NA GARNERS SECOND NWC AWARD OF THE SEASON

Pacific Lutheran University forward Eddie Na was named the Northwest Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, Sept. 26, earning the honor for the second time this season. The University Place, Washington native lands the accolade after scoring three of PLU's four goals over the weekend. Na scored a goal in the 43rd minute in a 3-1 setback to Whitman College on Saturday before striking twice on Sunday, including the game winner in double overtime in a 3-2 win over rival Whitworth University. Na found the back of the net in the 52nd minute, giving the Lutes (5-4-1, 2-2 NWC) the 2-1 lead before icing the game with a goal in the 104th minute. Na, who also won NWC Offensive Player of the Week honors on Sept. 6, currently sits tied atop the NWC in both goals (eight) and assists (five) while leading the eight-team circuit in total points (21) through the opening 10 games of the season. The Lutes return to the pitch on Saturday, Oct. 1, taking on host Linfield College at 2:30 p.m. in McMinnville, OR.

LUTE MEN’S TENNIS TEAM SHINES AT ITA NW REGIONAL

Ryan Adams advanced to the round of 16 in his first collegiate competition as the Pacific Lutheran University men's tennis squad participated at the ITA Northwest Regional over the Sept. 23rd weekend, the Lutes first and only competition of the fall. Adams opened up the event with a 6-2, 7-6, victory over Whitworth University's Jeffrey Vulis before breezing past George Fox University's Tristen Lerma 6-2, 6-2, in the second round. The freshman's run in the tournament came to a halt in the round of 16, falling 6-0, 6-2, at the hands of Whitman College's Chase Friedman. Fellow first year Niko Convento downed George Fox's Farmer, 6-2, 6-4, in the opening round before succumbing to Whitman's Ben Kirsh by a 7-5, 6-0, count. In doubles, Adams and James Okubo steamrolled George Fox's Davin Lee and Jacob Farmer, 8-1, in the opening round before stumbling 8-3 to Whitman's Jake Hoeger and Robert Carter in the second round. "It was a great weekend, the whole team came to play," said head coach John Cassens. "Niko won his first round and played very well in a second round defeat and James and Ryan had a convincing win in doubles before dropping a tight match to the No. 1 seed. Ryan also had solid performances in singles before falling in the third round." The Lutes take a four month hiatus from competition before returning to the courts on Sunday, Feb. 5, with a dual match against Division I Seattle University.

NATIONALLY RANKED PLU WOMEN BLANK LEWIS AND CLARK

A pair of goals in the opening stanza and a suffocating defensive effort gave the 16th-ranked Pacific Lutheran University women's soccer team its sixth victory of the season on Sunday, Sept. 25, dispatching Northwest Conference rival Lewis & Clark College 2-0 inside Griswold Stadium. Kelly White put the Lutes (6-0-2, 3-0-1 NWC) on the board early for the second consecutive game, nailing a penalty kick in the 22nd minute. Kaylie Rozell added further separation in the 44th minute, netting her team leading third goal of the 2016 campaign as PLU enjoyed a two goal edge at the halftime intermission. "I'm really proud of the team performance today. We played 19 players, we had to make a couple of adjustments and our team didn't miss a beat," said head coach Seth Spidahl. "We attacked very well in the first half. I was proud because we weren't worried about what happened yesterday. We bounced back and attacked this game certainly felt like we deserved to win with our process." The Lutes dominated the game statistically, with PLU accounting for 19 of the 22 shots taken in the game, including seven of the 10 landing on frame. Pacific Lutheran additionally held an 11-1 edge in corner kicks taken, securing its sixth clean sheet of the season. "Kelly White stuck in another great penalty and Kaylie Rozell hit a good free kick. We had lots of other chances in the run of play and didn't so we still need to improve on finding ways to score within run of play but we'll take it on day two. It was warm out and that's Sunday soccer in the Northwest Conference, it's a bit of a grind. Got to be tough and physical and defend well and I thought our team with a little bit of adversity responded great." Takara Mitsui needed to make just two stops in goal to net the shutout win, logging all 90 minutes between the

posts. The Pioneers' (2-6, 1-3 NWC) Hannah Osmundson was tested early and often, making five saves and yielding two goals in the complete game effort. The Lutes resume their road swing next weekend, traveling to Pacific University on Saturday, Oct. 1 before taking on Willamette University the following Sunday. Both games are slated to kickoff at noon.

LOGGER WOMEN CONTINUE DRIVE TOWARD TOP OF NWC STANDINGS

Grayson Williams-Krebs' 87th minute goal was the difference, as the Puget Sound women's soccer team defeated Pacific, 1-0, on Sunday, Sept. 25. The team has now won seven games in a row, after dropping their opening match. The Loggers (7-1, 4-0 NWC) came out on the front foot, outshooting the Boxers (4-3-1, 2-2 NWC) 4-1 in the first half. Despite all of their shots being on target, Boxer keeper Kailey Hifumi was able to keep the visitors off the board. The second half proved to be more statistically even, with Puget Sound and Pacific both recording four shots through the first 86 minutes. However, in the 87th minute, Grayson Williams-Krebs broke the stalemate. The senior put her shot far post, out of reach of the keeper. The goal was her team-leading fifth goal of the season. The Loggers outshot the Boxers, 9-5, while both teams took three corner kicks. Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas (7-1) earned the win, playing all 90 minutes and making two saves. Williams-Krebs and Jacquelyn Anderson led the Loggers with two shots each. Puget Sound's next match will be Saturday, Oct.1, when the team travels to Willamette. The Loggers will look to extend their winning streak to eight games.

LOGGER MEN PLAY TO ANOTHER DRAW IN NWC SOCCER

For the second consecutive match, the University of Puget Sound men's soccer team played 110 minutes, and finished in a tie. On Sunday, Sept. 25 it was a 1-1 game against Whitman, with Zac Lokay scoring for the Loggers. With the Loggers (4-2-2, 1-1-2 NWC) coming off a double overtime draw the day before, Whitman (6-3-1, 2-1-1 NWC) appeared to be on the front foot in the first half. The visitors outshot Puget Sound 6-4 in the first half, including a rocket off the foot of Ben Freedman in the 43rd minute, which put Whitman ahead 1-0. Puget Sound came back in the second half, showing more fight, and outshooting Whitman 7-5 in the period. In the 88th minute, Cameron Lorek ran the ball down the right flank. He put the ball in front of the net from the endline, where Zac Lokay was waiting. The junior met the ball at the near post, and slotted it just under the Whitman goalkeeper's arms to tie the game, 1-1. It was the defender's second goal of the year. With the score tied at the end of 90 minutes, the two teams went to extra time. Each team had a good chance to win the game. In the first overtime period, Eric Conte put a shot barely wide of the post. In the waning seconds of the second overtime period, Lorek carried the ball down the field, and put his shot just wide as time expired. Whitman outshot Puget Sound 16-14, and also took more corner kicks (7-6). Cameron Lorek led the Loggers with four shots. Goalkeeper Jacob Palmer (0-0-2) played all 110 minutes, making eight saves. The Loggers have now played in four overtime matches this year, with a 1-1-2 record. Puget Sound's next match will be Saturday, October 1, when the team travels to Willamette.

WIAA DOUBLES DOWN ON STATE BASKETBALL FIXES By Justin Gimse

jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

It has been five years since the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) made the financial decision to cut the Washington State Basketball Tournaments from 16-team fields, down to just eight teams. The move created a regional round the weekend before that took the place of the first day (Wednesday) of each respective state tournament. After seeing years of declining attendance, the WIAA felt justified in its decision. The moved did not prove to be a popular decision among coaches, players, school administrators, nor fans. While the 16-team format had only been in place since the 1980s, nearly three decades of high school athletes had participated in this format, and it felt like home to those involved. Some even compared that first day of the state tournament to the opening day of the NCAA’s “March Madness.” After several years of complaints and requests to move the format back to its previous state by state coaches and administrators, the WIAA took a huge step on Monday, Sept. 26 to correct a huge flaw in the current state tournament seeding structure by implementing the “Ratings Percentage Index” or RPI to properly seed the final 16 teams still in the running for a state championship. The RPI system is used to seed the NCAA basketball tournament, and while it has seen a few problems over the years, it is roundly viewed as the best format currently available. While a new RPI seeding system is good news for high school basketball teams, and sports fans in general, it was just one-half of the exciting news the WIAA delivered at their Executive Board meeting. The WIAA will be expanding the eight-team tournament to a 12-team format. The move will add the Wednesday set of games back to the state tournament schedule. The 16-team regional games will deliver the top-four seeds, who will earn a bye for the opening round. Teams that are seeded five to 12 following the regional weekend games, will battle it out on Wednesday in a loser-out game, with the winner moving on to Thursday’s action against one of the top-four seeded teams. The second day of the tournament begins the double-elimination format. For example, had this format been in place in recent years, the Tacoma Dome

would have seen as many as seven Tacomaarea teams participating in a single 3A/4A tournament week, instead of a peak of four in 2016. The move could also have a positive effect on Fife, Franklin Pierce, Washington and Foss in the 2A tournament race, as well as the likes of Life Christian, Chief Leschi, Evergreen Lutheran and Tacoma Baptist in the 2B/1B tournament races respectively. The WIAA decision should also be a boon for local businesses in Tacoma, Yakima and Spokane, as each tournament location could have up to an additional 16 schools in the mix on the respective tournament’s opening day. Here is the full report from the WIAA: The WIAA announced, Monday that the Executive Board voted to implement a change in format to the Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournament. The changes to the State Basketball Tournament will increase the number of teams at each Championship site from eight to 12 for each classification. With the expansion to 12 teams, approximately 500 more students will be able to experience competing at the final site of a WIAA State

Basketball Championship. The updated format will maintain regional games for round one, which have proven to be a great attraction for local fans. Final tournament sites will remain the same with the 1B and 2B tournament at the Spokane Arena, the 1A and 2A tournament at the Yakima Valley Sun Dome and the 3A and 4A tournament at the Tacoma Dome. In addition to the format change, the WIAA will implement a Rating Percentage Index (RPI) system to seed the 16 teams that qualify for the first round of the tournament at regional sites. The State Basketball Format Committee will continue to refine the details of the RPI system, which will not be used in the qualification to regional sites, only as a seeding tool after the qualifiers are in place. The WIAA districts will continue to control their respective qualifying tournaments to determine the 16 teams for each classification. Both the new format and RPI system will go into effect for the upcoming 201617 season. Specifics of the new format are as follows:

Sixteen teams per classification will play at regional sites on Friday or Saturday of week one. Four games involving the top eight seeds based on RPI rankings will be played with the winner advancing to the second round at the Championship site with a bye while the losing team still advances to the first round at the Championship site. The other four games involving seed Nos. 9-16 will be loser-out contests. Winners of those games will play the losers of the four games involving seed Nos. 1-8. Round 1 games of week two (Wednesday) will be single elimination and the tournament will continue with an eight-team modified double elimination format in rounds 2-4 (Thursday-Saturday) of week two. Six trophies will be awarded per gender per classification. The format was voted upon by the WIAA Executive Board after gathering feedback from administrators and coaches around the state via an online survey, and from the community. The format selected was the most popular among survey participants, and 71% of participants were in favor of using an RPI to seed tournament teams.

strike gold. Following another stuffed run by junior running back Tristian Kwon, the Abes went to the air. Two plays later, Lincoln senior quarterback Joey Sinclair connected with senior wide receiver Camron Deloney on a pass over the middle. Deloney turned up field and outraced the Lancer defenders to the goal-line for the first score. Lincoln led 7-0 with 2:27 left in the first quarter. Lakes had excellent field position to start the ensuing drive on their own 44-yard line. The Lancers would drive to the Lincoln 26-yard line before the Abe defense slammed the door in their face. The Abes stopped Lakes for no-gain on first down, forced an incompletion on second down, nearly sacked Roe on third down for another incompletion, and then saw Lakes’ fourth-down pass knocked down by Kwon. Lincoln would then put together a 13-play, 74-yard drive for a touchdown. Lakes helped the Abes along the way, committing two offside penalties, as well as a pass interference penalty on third-and-15. Lincoln would drive to the Lakes four-yard line before Kwon took a first-and-goal handoff and sprinted untouched to the left pile-on. Lincoln now led 14-0 with 7:38 remaining in the first half. For the second-straight series, Lakes started with outstanding field position at their own 49-yard line. Five plays later, the Lancers were again in sniffing distance of the end-zone at the 18-yard line. Roe’s short pass toward the sideline was picked off by junior linebacker Alex Gillies and Lincoln would take over on their own 24-yard line. On the second play of the

same time, that’s when the team had a real ‘coming to God’ type of moment. I told the guys that there wasn’t many small victories to take away from this game. I told them that at some point you’re going to have to, within yourselves, motivate yourselves to want to win. The coaches can’t wave a magic wand and get the victories for you. You’ve got to want it… I had to change the tone that I’ve had with them all season. “And then we spotted them (Winlock) 21 points in the next game… We felt we had some good momentum going into the second half and you could definitely see the mood and morale begin to change

with the players. It was just a whole different game. They started to believe that they could do it and they just went out and executed… day we get better and better… we need to have that mentality.” It’s not going to get any easier on Chief Leschi, but with a win under their belts, the team is feeling buoyed by what was just the second Warrior victory since 2012. “We have a couple of really tough games left,” said Satiacum. “But every game in our eyes is winnable. So this game was a big boost to the players’ morale. That’s been the challenge since we took over Chief Leschi’s program, getting these kids to buy into the fact that they can win, and that they are winners… and to try and put the losing ways behind them.” Chief Leschi goes for their second home victory when they host MortonWhite Pass on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Chief Leschi Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

A sellout, once rare, is now common sight. Fans line up at the gates to fill the ballpark each night. They come for a show and a show they do get. Always bigger and better. Who knows what to expect?

series, Sinclair hooked up with Kwon on a catch and run pass that covered 72-yards and pushed Lincoln to the Lakes’ fouryard line. One play later, Kwon would run in his second touchdown of the game and Lincoln now led 21-0 with 3:35 left in the first half. The Abe defense would force Lakes to do punt the ball after just three plays on the next drive. Lincoln would take over on their own 42-yard line and put together an eight-play drive capped by a 30-yard touchdown pass from Sinclair to Deloney. Lincoln now led 27-0 going into halftime. There would be no letting up to open the second half for the Abes. Lincoln put together a nine-play, 80 yard scoring drive that was capped by junior running back Austin Moeung’s two-yard blast up the gut. Lincoln now led 33-0 with 8:33 remaining in the third quarter. Unlike the first half, Lincoln left little opportunities available to the Lakes’ offense in the second stanza. As a matter of fact, when the final numbers were tallied, the Abes held the Lancers to just 135 yards of total offense for the game. With 3:11 left in the third quarter, the Lincoln defense got into the scoring mix when junior linebacker Alijah Sokimi dove on a Lakes (1-1 PCL, 1-3) fumble that had squirted into the end-zone. The 40-0 score triggered the “mercy rule” and the clock ran continuously for the remainder of the game. Up next for Lincoln (2-0, 3-1) is another huge 3A PCL matchup. The Abes will travel to Stadium Bowl to face the Wilson Rams on Friday, Sept. 30. The Lincoln versus Wilson games are regularly among the best contests of the football season, and are definitely worth seeing at historic Stadium Bowl, which was recently rated as the fifth-best high school stadium to watch a game at in the United States.

ARTISTIC ABUNDANCE. Tacoma Arts Month features more than 300 art exhibits, performances, workshops and other cultural events. An Arts Month favorite is the Tacoma Studio Tour, which takes place Oct. 15 and 16. By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

acoma Arts Month is upon us. Each year, our City of Destiny sets a full month aside to shine a spotlight on the cultural events, exhibitions and activities that are vital part of the socio-economic fabric of our parcel of geography on this third orb of the solar system. Tacomans have access to all manner of visual arts venues, performances of dance and drama, literary happenings, music of all kinds, lectures and more. In October, it is all ramped up and augmented with an even greater number of arts events, most of which are free and family friendly. Arts Month kicked off Sept. 29 with its opening party and AMOCAT Awards ceremony, sponsored by Tacoma Arts Commission and held at the Asia Pacific Cultural Center. AMOCATs, which are awarded to acknowledge outstanding involvement in community development and the arts, are made to an individual, an arts patron and an organization each

year. This years recipients are Christopher Paul Jordan, Tacoma Junior Youth Symphony and Metro Parks Tacoma. One of the favorite features of Arts Month is the Tacoma Studio Tours. This year, there are 57 artists at 34 locations. Visitors to artist studios will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on activity or watch an artist demonstration. Art will also be available for sale. Studio Tour passports will be available at the various locations. Visitors can get their passports stamped at each studio that they visit. Collecting eight or more stamps makes one eligible to win a prize. Similarly, folks can also be eligible to win prizes in the Tacoma Arts Challenge. All you have to do is send a selfie from one of the multitude of Arts Month events to have a chance to win a gold, silver or bronze level package of goodies that range from a hotel stay, to a free restaurant meal and tickets to a performance. Begun in 2002 as Art at Work Month, the annual celebration of community arts was originally celebrated

in November. Beginning in 2014, the name was changed to Tacoma Arts Month and the month was shifted to October in order to better coincide with the new season schedules of the local performance organizations. October is also free of the holiday conflicts that begin in November and the weather is generally better. Intermeshed with Arts Month are festivals like the Tacoma Film Festival (Oct. 6-13), the Willo 3rd Annual Story Telling Festival (Oct. 9) and the Tacoma Poetry Festival (Oct. 21- 22). On Oct. 5 you can go on the Creative Colloquy Crawl and hear writers read their works at nine different venues. A number of informative workshops will cover everything from jewelry making to crowd funding. You can learn to sew your own Halloween costumes or make your own glass pumpkin paperweight. Get out there, Tacoma. Go do, see and hear all the creative material that abounds all around these parts. For a complete listing of all the venues and events visit tacomaartsmonth.com.

DUB NARCOTICâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CALVIN JOHNSON TO PLAY NPCC "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN

ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Last weekend, Jazzbones got rocked by Monkeywrench, the garage-rock supergroup that features members of Mudhoney, Gas Huffer and Bloodloss. This weekend, yet another Northwest punk icon will be in the area, but this one is on a mission to make you dance. Calvin Johnson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the founder of Olympiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influential K Records and a member of Beat Happening and Dub Narcotic Sound System, among other bands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will headline Parklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northern Pacific Coffee Company on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have support from Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pale Noise and Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hartle Road starting at 8 p.m. Johnson will be showcasing infectious grooves from his new pop album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Party is Just Getting Started,â&#x20AC;? which he recorded under the alias Selector Dub Narcotic and released over the summer. Recently, he described how his latest project was born. TACOMA WEEKLY: How would you compare what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing now to what you used to do with, say, Dub Narcotic Sound System? JOHNSON: Dub Narcotic Soundsystem (was) kind of like Booker T & The MGs or the Barkays who backed up a bunch of different Stax artists but also put out their own records. It was the same idea, basically. It was a bit amorphous for the first few singles, but then it settled into a band that became regular. After we played a bunch for eight or 10 years, we just stopped playing together; well actually, because we had that accident while on tour. (Johnson was thrown from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s van and suffered serious injuries during a crash in Montana in 2003.) I liked a lot of the work that we were doing, working within this framework of dancey beats and experimental dub, and I wanted to continue doing that, but I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really figured out how until two years ago. We did an album here at K called â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Your Friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friends.â&#x20AC;? It was a compilation of Northwest hip-hop, and it was produced by this guy, Smoke M2D6. The concept was a Northwest hip-hop compilation, but all the beats were derived from different K releases; so all the samples on that album are from Jeremy Jay or Mirah, even some Calvin Johnson solo is in there. So the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;All for the Sake of Rhyminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

was started from a band called Mahjongg. Smoke sampled one of their songs, and I did my thing over it. But then the rest of the (Selector Dub Narcotic) album is all original stuff that we came up with in collaboration. While Smoke and I were working on this album, we did bring in some studio players: Ashley Eriksson from Lake and Andrew Dorsett, also from Lake; Chris Sutton plays on several songs; and Angelo Spencer plays guitar on one song. A bunch of different folks came in and did their thing. It was pretty fun.

TW: You also seem to still be focused if not on the same genre on a similar philosophy. JOHNSON: Well, I used Stax earlier as an example. They stayed in Memphis for several years. They moved to California in the end, but really they had mostly Memphis artists, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just who they were and what they did. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what made sense. I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of labels that are like that and artists, too, that stay where they started because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they are.

TW: Listening to the songs, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always tell how much is made with loops and how much is played live. So are you touring with a full band? JOHNSON: No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dreaded laptop setup. Smokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got me hooked up. I did a little tour in August to the Southeast. I played a bunch of shows in Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi and Tennessee and stuff, and it worked out. It was sort of my test run, and I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it figured out more or less.

TW: There have been a few books and documentaries covering the stuff that you and some of your friends down there have done over the decades. What are the biggest things they have gotten right or wrong? JOHNSON: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about books, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause memories are very fragile, and I want to remember things the way I remember them. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to read a book and have that turn into my memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait, did I read that in a book, or did that happen?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not gettinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; any younger. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s let these memories just decay naturally.

TW: What is performing electronic music with a laptop like as an outlet versus your typical setup? JOHNSON: Mostly, in the last few years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been touring solo, just me on acoustic guitar. I enjoy touring by myself because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy. I can just walk in with my acoustic guitar, play the show and then walk out with my acoustic guitar and my $5, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to split that $5 with anybody. This laptop thing is kind of like that, except the difference is â&#x20AC;Ś people are dancing and their response is a lot more physical and a lot more fun. TW: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it like on the road for you now versus, say, 20 years ago? JOHNSON: I only play all-ages shows, and 20 years ago it was a real struggle to find shows. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more accepted. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more storefront type spaces and community spaces that are just open to it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; places like the Vera Project (in Seattle.) Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the coffee shops that are a lot more likely to have music than they were 20 years ago. TW: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re approaching the 35 year mark with the label. What are maybe the top three or four records youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most proud to have put out over that span?

LOVE THE DUB. Selector Dub

Narcotic with Pale Noise and Hartle Road play at Northern Pacific Coffee Co., 401 Garfield St., S., Parkland at 8 p.m. Tues., Oct. 4.

JOHNSON: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say. Definitely, there are some 45s that we did that are fun. Just coming to mind, we did a series of singles called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dub Narcotic Disco Platesâ&#x20AC;? where I collaborated with different artists. Some of those that I really enjoyed were written with Bobby Birdman, Chain & The Gang, Kendl Winter, Lake. The idea there was we recorded one of their songs, and then I would remix it on the b-side. I like those because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a collaboration, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also like a great pop single. The 7-inch single is my favorite format for music. TW: Why is that? JOHNSON: In the morning, when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making breakfast, I like to put on a 45 then maybe flip it or put on a different record. I just like the feel of â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it,â&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the statement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bold. TW: You still live in Olympia, right? JOHNSON: Olympia, Washington. TW: A lot of people doing what you do might have cashed in and moved their office to Los Angeles or something. What is it that keeps you up here? JOHNSON: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanna live in Los Angeles. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice place to visit, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d much rather live in the Northwest.

TW: Have you ever been tempted to do your own book? JOHNSON: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the point. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too busy. TW: Even just as a historical document to add insight into some of the stuff you guys did? JOHNSON: Hmm, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember John Lennon writing a book or Betty Everett. But you know, that is a good point. I did just read a book. It was about country music (from a) time not a lot of country artists were writing books. It was the Delmore Brothers, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from Alabama. They started recording in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s, and they were together until the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s when one of the brothers died. The older brother lived until about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;65, and he wrote a book about his life, which was never published until, like, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique about that book is none of his contemporaries wrote books. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no personal record of all of the stuff heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about, like playing the Grand Ole Opry in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s and touring in these rural areas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really undocumented in the first person, so it is really valuable that he did write that book. But, you know, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of people writing books nowadays.

SCANDAL. (l to r) Versati (Ben Stahl), Louise (Cassie Jo Fastabend) & Gertrude (Deya Ozburn) star in TLTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Underpants.â&#x20AC;? "Y #AROLIN *ONES carolin@tacomaweekly.com

What the audience doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see is the scandal that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Underpantsâ&#x20AC;? revolves around â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that disrupts the proper middle-class lives of Theo and Louise Maske. The whole town of DĂźsseldorf, Germany went to watch the kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Louiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bloomers drop to the floor. Although she is quick to retrieve them, the news spreads like a wildfire. While Louise (Cassie Jo Fastabend) doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what the fuss is all about, her husband, and bureaucrat, Theo (Jed Slaughter) fears being financially ruined and receiving a dubious reputation following the incident. Among the chaos, the Maskes try to find a renter for a spare bedroom and are soon approached by two prospective tenants that end up having to share the room. Both, however, move in with agendas of their own, with the most urgent one being to seduce Louise. While part-time Casanova and full-time unpublished poet Frank Versati (Ben Stahl) tries to win Louiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart with poetry, opponent Benjamin Cohen (Andrew Fry) makes it his goal to prevent just that, setting the two up for snarky conversations, and the audience for a fixed amount of knee slappers. Benjaminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character also introduces bigotry and German-Jewish relations as he struggles to keep his Jewish heritage hidden from Theo. As a whiner and hypochondriac, Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Benjamin quickly emerges as the underdog and wins the hearts of the audience.

During those turbulent times, Louiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest asset is her nosy neighbor Gertrude Deuter, wonderfully played by Deya Ozburn. As a character that often gets carried away by her fantasies, Ozburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gertrude lights up each scene with a signature laugh, on-point expressions and wild ideas. Suggesting tranquilizers to Louise as a way to knock out Theo is only one of her gimmicks. Ozburn wonderfully compliments Fastabend in how she takes Louise from an innocent bystander to a more mature character as Louise starts taking charge of her newly awakened desire, getting involved in raunchy shenanigans, and coming to terms with her sudden fame. Depending on who is the room, Louise demands, directs and melts throughout the play allowing the audience to see Fastabendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many versions of Louise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Liveâ&#x20AC;? legend Steve Martin adapted the 1910 German play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Die Hoseâ&#x20AC;? and turned it into a fast-paced, comedic look at gender roles, subjection to sex and the characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with desire and lust. The play cleverly allows characters to reflect on themselves, and especially Louiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transitions from a native, unfulfilled housewife to a woman willing to take charge of her desires and stand up to her husband â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in 1910 style, that is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as she takes the audience on a fun journey of emancipation. The stage is set in the kitchen of the Maskesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flat designed with much love to details and including a typical paratkeet, floral plate collection and the secret

star of the show, canary Steve Martin who chirps the play away. The set, like the costumes, fits the characters wonderfully and reflect the design of old Germany. While the set doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change throughout the play, the many doors and windows through which characters burst in, and grandly escape, only help enhance the awkwardness of situations the characters find themselves cast in. Smart dialogues paired with jokes, one-liners, and the occasional sexual double-entendres in the right places, keep the audience engaged and entertained throughout the play. Director Jen York created a funny play that effortlessly addresses issues relevant in 2016 without losing its comedy, or audience, in the process. As â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Underpantsâ&#x20AC;? marks Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second time directing for Tacoma Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main stage, she chose an excellent cast that is unafraid to get physical. The characters express themselves emotionally and sexually and even after 90 minutes the audience remained tuned in to the grand question of whether one of the gentlemen will get to see Louiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underpants a second time. The Underpants continues through Oct. 2 at Tacoma Little Theatre. Showings are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. This show is recommended for ages 13 and up and tickets are $24 for adults, with discounts available for seniors, students, and military. There will be a special â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pay What You Canâ&#x20AC;? performance on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be bought in-person or at www. tacomalittletheatre.com.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Deepâ&#x20AC;? will introduce visitors to the similar properties between glass and water, taking them on a journey through the wide possibilities of glass and the beauty of marine life. The pieces in the exhibition reflect the movements, textures, shapes, and colors associated with being underwater through the medium of glass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By creating artwork inspired by the ocean, each artist has captured both the fragile beauty of the marine environments and the delicate nature of glass,â&#x20AC;? shares â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Deepâ&#x20AC;? curator Katie Buckingham. Artists in the exhibition, whose work is traditionally inspired by the ocean or animals, feel similarly. Kelly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, who created a glass clam and mussel with barnacles for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Deepâ&#x20AC;? during her 2015 residency at Museum of Glass, does not consider herself an animal rights activist or expert, but understands that her work has the power to influence how people view their natural surroundings. From rhinoceros and elephant busts to clams and mussels, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell often works with animal forms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I get to know the animal, I learn of its fragility. I experienced this with the barnacled pieces. As I researched the idea, the shells, the barnacles, I learned about the reality of ocean acidification, and how it can drastically affect the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life forms,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Deepâ&#x20AC;? includes more than 55 pieces, 15 of which were made in the Museum of Glass Hot Shop. Alfredo Barbini, Dale Chihuly, Shayna Leib, Kelly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, Kait Rhoads, Raven Skyriver, and Hiroshi Yamano are amongst the 16 national and international artists featured in the exhibition. Three digital tours, using STQRY QR codes, will accompany the exhibition. The first, written by University of Washington, Tacoma, (UWT) professor and biologist Bonnie Becker, will offer a scientific supplement to the artwork in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Deep.â&#x20AC;? The second will detail how specific pieces in the exhibition were made. The third will provide information about each featured artist and their personal connection with the ocean.

DR JOHN TO PERFORM AT PANTAGES OCT. 7 "Y %RNEST ! *ASMIN ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

Mac Rebennack â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the man many know as Dr. John â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is asked what keeps him excited about performing six decades into his musical career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like the best way for a musician to die is to fall over on the last song of the show,â&#x20AC;? he responds, speaking with a thick, Creole patois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The band gets paid, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to play an encore.â&#x20AC;? Such is the quirky outlook of Dr. John, who hopefully wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffer that fate when he and his band, The Nite Trippers, headline Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pantages Theatre on Friday, Oct. 7. Rebennack is en route to his next tour stop as he speaks to a reporter by phone, answering questions heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely heard a thousand times by now. His responses are brief and, occasionally, as mystical and mysterious as zen koans. When asked what made him rebrand himself â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Johnâ&#x20AC;? in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s, for example, he explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a true blessing in my spirit that I was able to get the name Dr. John, the Night Tripper. Everything is everything to everybody, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing to me to really do what you need to do.â&#x20AC;? Surely, a tell-all biopic will eventually fill in the relevant details since Dr. John is basically the musical equivalent of the Most Interesting Man in the World. He honed his chops on the hardscrabble streets of New Orleans and is lucky to have survived his early career; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overcome addiction, brushes with the law and famously almost had

his left ring finger shot off during a 1961 brawl. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s, Rebennack became known for a sound and theatrical stage show that was equal parts jazz, funk,

psychedelic rock and black magic ritual. In 1968, he broke through with the voodoo-themed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gris-Gris,â&#x20AC;? and eventually he scored his biggest hit with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right Place Wrong Time.â&#x20AC;? However, he says he is most proud of some of his session work, which included a stint with the renowned Wrecking Crew in Los Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rose in Spanish Harlemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rock Steady,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proudest of doing a lot of records with Aretha,â&#x20AC;? Rebennack says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was very little to remember about the sessions, but they was a good thing. They were a blessing by themself.â&#x20AC;? Dr. John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, and in recent years heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recorded â&#x20AC;&#x153;SkatDat-De-Dat: The Music of Satch,â&#x20AC;? a tribute to hometown hero Louis Armstrong, and he put his spin on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bare Necessitiesâ&#x20AC;? for Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit, live-action remake of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jungle Book.â&#x20AC;? Both should play prominently in the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blessed to do anything of Louis Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that we could do,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Listen, Miles Davis said this about Louis Armstrong. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If Louis didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play it, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If Miles Davis said that, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Musical Mojo of Dr. John: Celebrating Mac & His Musicâ&#x20AC;? is due on Oct. 14. Recorded during a 2014 tribute concert, the live album/DVD set includes appearances by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Aaron Neville and Tab Benoit. Next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are still available with prices ranging from $39 to $110. For further details, visit www.broadwaycenter.org.

DUTCHESS Featured Pet Dutchess is an attractive brown tabby seeking a home that will give her room to relax, be independent, and find you for attention. She is not shy, and has an extroverted nature as you will soon find out. Dutchess is a middle-aged lady who is seven-years-young. She is declawed, and would prefer to be your one and only diva. Dutchess is happy to live indoors the rest of her life, and will be eternally grateful for being taken care of in addition to having a safe place to call her own. A slow and patient introduction would be best for Dutchess as she adapts to her new environment. She is currently being fostered at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital in downtown Tacoma. Please call (253) 274-0224 or visit www.metvetpets.com for more information on this perky girl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; #A510786.
