HONORING THE FALLEN. Cub Scouts of Pack 42, based in South Tacoma, and Pack

T

he Tacoma Cemetery is deceptively large. With more than 42 acres of land and 38,000 interred residents, the property dates back to the beginning of the city itself. Seeking out the graves of Tacoma’s many veterans and marking them with American flags in honor of Memorial Day was therefore quite the daunting task. Cub Scouts of Pack 42, based in South Tacoma and led by Holly Barcelona, and Pack 148, based in University Place and led by Andrew Homan, were more than

willing to take up the challenge on a sunny May 27 afternoon. From orange-scarfed Tiger Cub first graders all the way up to middle school Boy Scouts, there was no shortage of volunteers. Each year the Tacoma Cemetery invites local branches of the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other similar organizations to come out and participate in the event, a tradition that has been continuing since before the current cemetery caretaker, Christopher Engh, started working at the property 15 years ago. The Cub Scouts have had pretty regular attendance over the years, so familiar with the practice that their District Commissioner u See MEMORIAL DAY / page 7

You may be thinking, “Solar panels in Washington – is a typically rainy climate the best place to harvest energy from sunlight?” Harnessing solar energy is no longer just for typically sunny climates such as Florida or Southern California. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we receive more than enough sunlight to make installation of solar panels profitable. Surprisingly, residential and commercial solar power are both viable and cost effective in the Seattle area, and particularly so throughout the Northwest region. Although the higher latitudes of the Northwest receive fewer annual hours of sunlight than southern regions, solar panels operate with greater efficiency in cooler climates, making Seattle and the Northwest an excellent place for solar electric power. Our region has long summer days, including many months with high levels of solar radiation. Even though winters in the Northwest are often overcast, solar radiation penetrates the clouds and power can be generated on most cloudy days. Even local baseball is finding ways to save energy costs to pay for those energy dependent lights using solar at Safeco field. Although it has a reputation for being frequently overcast, Seattle and the Northwest receive more than enough direct and radiant sunlight to meet its energy needs using solar. While the region’s highest solar power generating potential is in southeastern Oregon and southern Idaho, there really are no “bad” solar sites. Even the rainiest areas receive almost half the solar energy as the deserts

By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

Pierce County deputies are asking for the public's help to find convicted rapist Marvin Lee Easley. The Level III sex offender has a warrant for his arrest for failure DAVID ROSE to register as a sex offender. The 53-year-old was convicted for rape in the third degree in King County in 2011. Court documents show the victim was a developmentally disabled woman. "When vulnerable people are victims, it makes it a higher priority for us to find the suspects," said Det. Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff's

Police Blotter UNIVERSITY PLACE In the afternoon on May 14, gunshots were reported to 911 from an apartment complex in the 5800 block of Hannah Pierce Road West. Witnesses reported a subject was seen running from the complex towards a convenience store at 56th and Orchard. UP Police arrived and found that an apartment had been shot at eight times. Bullet holes were centered on the front door of the apartment and .45 caliber shell casings were recovered in the parking lot and stairwell. A welfare check was conducted on the apartment but no one was found inside. A possible suspect was identified by a cell phone, which was found in the parking lot near the shell casings. A victim of a vehicle prowl called 911 to report his HP laptop computer and his LG Tablet were taken from his work truck overnight. The victim admitted he left his truck unlocked in front of his residence. Another victim of vehicle prowl also reported that his Ipod Nano, Acer laptop computer and his gym bag were taken from his vehicle, which also was left parked unlocked in front of his residence. Believe it or not, a victim reported to UP Police that both of her cars were left unlocked in her driveway overnight and both were prowled. She discovered her purse, sunglasses, car chargers and cash were stolen. Just after midnight, three UP Police Officers had just cleared a call on Morrison Road West. A vehicle drove slowly

Easley was convicted in 2011 for raping a woman in Allen County, Ind. This isn't the first time he's been accused of failure to register. He was convicted for the same crime in Pierce County in 2008. If you can tell deputies where to find him, Crime Stoppers of TacomaPierce County will pay you a cash reward of up to $1,000. Call the hot line anonymously at 1 (800) 222-TIPS.

GrowinG Jobs By Connie Ladenburg

Why do we talk about economic development? Because people need jobs; people need goods and services; and government needs LADENBURG money in order to provide resources to our residents (i.e., police, fire protection, roads, sewers, clean water, parks, etc.). There are basically two ways to gather funds – increase taxes or broaden the tax base beyond the marginal cost of providing services. How many of you pay property tax? And yes, we use that money to help provide for the previously mentioned uses. However, research shows that residential housing does not pay its own way in a community. It is estimated that for every $1 in tax revenue generated by housing, it requires the community to spend $1.25-$1.66 providing government services. On the other hand, for every $1 in tax revenue generated by business, it requires the government to spend $.59-$.67. In other words, businesses produce more in taxes than they consume in community resources. All of us in government are interested in growing the business community so there is less reliance on taxing residents. And there are certain types of businesses that we want located here that grow our economy. The type of businesses that are most beneficial are ones that sell a product or service outside of the County, bringing in new money that circulates through the economy in the form of wages, purchases and tax revenue. These businesses generally provide the highest wages in a region, thereby enabling a higher standard of living for employees. An example is the Boeing plant in Fredrickson. It employs over 1,000 people and average salary is $70,000-$80,000. They make wing sections that are transported to Everett and added to the planes that are then sold worldwide. Boeing is the largest employer in the state, employing over 60,000 people, the largest presence among any of their locations. They invest here, make a product sold here and worldwide, employ people here, who live and

spend here. Counter this with big box retail. They sell products made somewhere else, pay employees low wages, take our money, and then take that money out of the state. All of us in Pierce County government are interested in growing business here. Over 60,000 employees leave Pierce County daily to work someplace else. Sometimes it is because we do not have the industries that people want to work in. Sometimes it is because the pay is better someplace else. Sometimes it is because it is “coolâ€? to work in the big city. I want to keep those people here, so I want to figure out what we need to do. First, there is not much we can do about the “big cityâ€? thing. Thanks, but no thanks‌ I do not want to be Seattle. But why don’t we have the industries? That is an answer I want. I know anecdotally that businesses have said that we do not have the work product that they need. In other words, our workers do not have the skills they are looking for in an employee. That is why workforce development and education are so important – not just a four-year degree, but also skills in labor and technology. I believe that if we make improvements in this area, we will be better positioned to attract the businesses that will employ our residents and pay them well. Since I have been on the Council, there has not been any focus from the Council on Economic Development. I am now chairing the Economic and Infrastructure Development Committee and am working to put “Economicâ€? back into our committee’s focus. James Cash Penny said, “Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.â€? Pierce County cannot and should not try to compete with King County. However, we can and should be the leader of the South Sound. And we should approach it from a South Sound regional perspective. All of us – the cities and county – must get together for joint discussions and planning on what type of business sectors we should be recruiting, what we need to do to make us business friendly and how are we going to market ourselves as the place to do business. We need it, but more important our workers need it.

n celebration of the 100th anniversary of our National Parks, Tahoma Audubon’s Annual Youth Bird Drawing Contest featured three birds found in Pierce County’s national park, Mt. Rainier. The Clark’s Nutcracker, the Mountain Chickadee, and the White-tailed Ptarmigan were drawn in their natural habitat by students in grades 1-8. Submissions were due by April 30. More than 100 entries were submitted from school districts and homeschool students around the county. University Place students made an impressive showing, representing Evergreen Primary, Sunset Primary, Narrows View Intermediate, Drum Intermediate and Charles Wright Academy. The difficult, yet enjoyable, task of judging and selecting the first-, secondand third-place winners was done by two long-time Tahoma Audubon members, along with staff of the Museum of Glass and the Slater Natural History Museum. Prizes were awarded in four age categories at a reception during the May 19 monthly membership meeting at Tacoma Nature Center. Lauren Bentson, educator at the Center, entertained the students and their families following the awards ceremony, and had everyone singing along with original and familiar tunes. The students’ artwork will be on public display at Tacoma Nature Center from June through August.

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.

SUPPORT FOR OUR NATIVE COMMUNITY

When Gov. Jay Inslee visited the Tribe’s Elders Center on Nov. 30, Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud (right) and elder Len Ferro (left) wrapped him in a Puyallup Tribe Pendleton blanket as a token of thanks and respect.

To the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the word “community” means more than its own membership circle. With more than 4,900 Puyallup tribal members locally and across the country, and an Indian population of over 24,000 in the tri-county area, the Puyallup Tribe takes great pride in continuing its ancestral ways by caring for Native American people across the board. HEALTHCARE Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) has seen many accomplishments this past year. Below are just a few of the top news stories of 2015. Residency Program. PTHA’s residency program saw the first residents graduating in June. Graduates Brian Nelson and Aaron Rhyner began their residency three years prior and helped build PTHA’s residency program from the ground up. Since the graduation, Dr. Rhyner has been hired on as a full time physician. Accreditations. PTHA continues to prove commitment to quality and excellence in health care by receiving full three-year Accreditation from AAAHC and received additional recognition as an Accredited Medical Home. In addition to AAAHC, PTHA was reviewed by both the AOA (American Osteopathic Association) and COLA (Clinical Laboratory Accreditation) this year, and both received full accreditation with zero deficiencies. Zero Suicide Program. Puyallup Tribal Health Authority is committed to transforming health care and changing public perception of suicide to help reduce the number of suicide deaths. A team of people from several Puyallup Tribal entities implemented the Zero Suicide model in the Puyallup Tribe community. The Zero Suicide program sets a basis for prevention of all suicide deaths through improved care and a commitment to patient safety. Taking a continued quality improvement approach and providing long-term follow up are some of the ways this team continues to work

As PTHA resident doctors Brian Nelson and Aaron Rhyner prepared for the formal graduating ceremony the Tribe gave them, they were dressed in the traditional way.

toward moving the community to Zero Suicide deaths in the future. Smoke-free Campus. PTHA became a smoke-free campus, which has had many benefits not only in promoting wellness in the community, but also decreasing drug activity by removing smoking enclosures, modeling healthy behavior to our youth, improving campus appearance and encouraging patients to quit smoking. Puyallup Tribal Member Events. Puyallup tribal members enjoyed days dedicated specifically for them during “School Days, Healthy Ways” and the four “Honoring Our Elders” days throughout the year. ELDERS Elder care is a top priority for the Tribe, with nearly $4.4 million spent in 2015 on elder care services. The Tribe’s beautiful House of Respect Elders Center – a $13 million facility opened in 2009 – stands as testament to the Puyallups’ deeply held reverence for their elder membership. The center, located on a historically significant site above the Puyallup River, offers a variety of health and recreational options for Puyallup elders over 45 years old, and holds a monthly luncheon at which one elder is chosen for special honoring. YOUTH The Tribe works to proactively instill positive values in its young members as early as possible through several important means: s Puyallup Tribal Community Center. This 34,000square-foot facility includes a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium and other areas for youth activities. The facility also accommodates gatherings for meetings, weddings, funerals and cultural activities. The Tribe partners with Junior Achievement to offer financial education to the youth, which is now held at the Tribal Community Center for two weeks during the summer.

s Chief Leschi Schools. Providing a Native-focused academic environment for children in pre-kindergarten through high school, Chief Leschi Schools serves Native American students from more than 60 different tribes with current enrollment of approximately 950 pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students. As one of the largest Bureau of Indian Education (BIA) schools constructed in the nation, the 200,000square-foot school is intended to be a model for Native American programs around the country. s Grandview Early Learning Center. During 2015, Grandview Early Learning Center served 142 families and 247 children, providing quality and culturally appropriate early childhood care for Native children in the community. s Education Opportunities. For youth and adults wishing to seek higher education after high school, or earn their general equivalency degree (GED), the Puyallup Tribe ensures that funding is available for tuition assistance, books, tutoring and more. HOUSING The Puyallup Tribe and the Puyallup Nation Housing Authority (PNHA) strive to provide safe, sanitary, and comfortable homes for Puyallup Tribal members living in the Puyallup Nation’s service area. During 2015 PNHA provided housing assistance to more than 150 households. The families served represent 337 individuals. All units are kept fully occupied and few vacancies occurred during 2015. The PNHA owns and operates 135 housing units, which are a mix of single-family homes, apartments, and duplexes. In addition to the units owned by the Tribe, PNHA maintained 30 Rental Assistance Vouchers, formerly known as Section-8, where units are rented on behalf of eligible tribal members and the rental payments are made to the property owners.

was able to advise the Scouts to bring their own screwdrivers in order to pre-poke the holes for the flags. Engh, a former Scout himself, was pleased with this year’s turnout, which included dozens of Scouts and was markedly up from last year. For him, the event is not only important for the veterans being honored, but also for the Scouts themselves. “It passes on some valuable traditions and gives them a connection to the folks who came before them and sacrificed for the freedoms they enjoy,� he said. The afternoon kicked off with a visit to one such person, John Wilson Sprague, who Engh describes as an “honest to goodness hero.� Sprague served as a general in the American Civil War and won the Medal of Honor for holding off a Confederate attack single handedly, one of only 216 Americans to receive the award. He then served as Tacoma’s first mayor, and got Sprague Avenue named after him as well. Sprague is far from the only veteran to have his final resting place at the Tacoma Cemetery, however, and the Scouts soon split off to find and flag as many of their grave markers as possible. One parent, shepherding around two young Scouts with screwdrivers and flags, said that he felt the practice “...teaches them about respect and duty. The Scout’s code includes helping others and volunteering, and that’s exactly what this is.� While the younger ones may not have fully understood that sentiment, the older boys certainly did. One Boy Scout explained, “We’re honoring our country’s past veterans.� Another added, “It’s nice to be doing the right thing for them.� For Homan, the activity provided more to his pack than just a “daily good turn� and a healthy dose of vitamin D. “It’s a great opportunity for us to teach kids about what Memorial Day is really about. It’s not just barbecues and a long weekend.� Judging by the American flags dotting one end of the cemetery to the other, the Scouts seemed to get that message loud and clear.

RAINIERS HAVE THE LOOK OF A WINNER By Justin Gimse jgimse@universityplacepress.net

ell it was bound to happen sooner or later. After attending seven games so far this season, the chances of leaving Cheney Stadium with the usual winning swagger for an eighth straight time were probably getting fairly slim. However, a funny thing happened on my way out of the parking lot following the Rainiers 5-3 loss to the Salt Lake Bees on Tuesday, May 31. I switched on the postgame report by the Rainiers’ Mike Curto on 850 AM and all the little bits of sadness were washed away when Curto reminded listeners of a pretty important statistic concerning this Tacoma ball club, and frankly, my face nearly cracked from the ear-to-ear smile. The Tacoma Rainiers are still in first place. That is correct. Even though Tacoma

had a bit of a rough road trip recently, and are 5-5 over the last 10 contests, our hometown boys are still sitting pretty atop the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific Northern division with a 30-21 record. The second-place Reno Aces remain a full five games behind the Rainiers in the standings at 25-26. With about a third of the season under our belts, it’s pretty clear that we’re dealing with a special ball club in Cheney this season. Now, before we get all hot and bothered about our local sluggers, we need to take a look at the state of affairs within the Seattle Mariners’ organization. As the Major League parent of the Tacoma Rainiers, it’s important to keep an eye on the goings on of the big club, because over the course of a single season, they can alter the makeup of our Tacoma team in all sorts of ways, and they don’t always end up bringing more wins to Cheney Stadium with the outcome. Let’s face it, sometimes a Mariner will get dinged up and they’re going to make the call down here to the 253 and

grab what they consider to be the best option for their club. Occasionally it’s a crowd favorite and there’s been a few times over the years when we never saw that player suit up for Tacoma ever again. Since I’ve met several new fans at the ballpark this season, I feel compelled to inform or remind our fans about the inevitable heartache, or heartbreak, that comes along with being a die-hard Rainiers fan. After a while, our best players leave town. Luckily, under most circumstances, we don’t have to say goodbye to them entirely, as they move on up to the Mariners and we can continue rooting for them just up the road. Sometimes, they get traded or released, and that’s where the worst of the Rainier heartbreak happens. It’s probably going to happen at some point this season, and we’re going to need to prepare ourselves emotionally. These are some of the grim facts that get forgotten when your team is in the midst of perhaps a magic season. Now that we’ve had this little talk,

let’s get back to just how incredible the baseball is around the Puget Sound right now. Despite their exceptional 30-21 record, the Mariners have slipped a half-game back out of first place in the American League West standings as of press time here at the Tacoma Weekly. Unlike the Rainiers, Seattle has to fend-off a smoking hot ball club right now in the Texas Rangers. The big drawback for the Mariners currently is their home record. While Seattle boasts the best road record (18-7) in Major League Baseball, they’ve been found a little wanting at Safeco Field. A perfect example of the home Seattle blues is their recent home stand. They took two of three from the Oakland Athletics and then hosted the Minnesota Twins for a three-game weekend series. The Twins came into Seattle with the worst record in the American League and ended up sweeping the Mariners. Seattle pummeled the San Diego Padres for two home games to follow, before heading u See RAINIERS / page 9

vIkIngs. The Curtis girls put together

a strong team performance on their way to 41 team points and a third-place finish at the 4A state meet. The Viking relay teams led the way with three topfive finishes. Curtis finished second in the 4x100 (48.38), third in the 4x200 (1:40.65) and fifth in the 4x400 (3:58.31). Sophomore Saudia Heard missed out on defending her 4A state triple jump crown by one and a quarter inch with a best leap of 38’-04�, good enough for second place. Fellow sophomore Alexis Ellis finished fourth in the long jump with a leap of 18-00.5�. Curtis Senior Nichole Coltrain finished third in the mixed 200 meter ambulatory and fourth in the mixed 100 meter ambulatory. Senior Lexi Bates clocked in at 12.74 in the 100 meter dash, good enough for sixth place. Sophomore Jenna Bouyer finished fourth in the 200 meter dash with a time of 25.49. Senior Cedrice Howard took seventh in the shot put with a mark of 38’-04� On the 4A boys’ side, Curtis sophomore Izaiah Fields finished second in the 200 meter dash with a time of 22.37 seconds. The Viking 4x100 relay captured fourth with a time of 42.42. Senior Reggie Hayden finished third in the triple jump with a mark of 45’-07.25�.

back out on the road to hopefully add to their ridiculously good away record. The next two weekends will be big for Seattle fans, as the Mariners visit the Rangers and then host them a week later. This could be a big shakeup in the standings, either way. As players come and go during the season, the chances of Tacoma fans seeing a player or two promoted up from Seattle’s Double-A team will increase. Currently, the Jackson Generals are sizzling hot with a 33-18 record and lead the Southern League’s North division by 8.5 games over the Montgomery Biscuits (still one of the best names in baseball). So as it stands, we’re still pretty much dealing with nothing but first-

place baseball around these parts and as the season wears on, teams are going to be gunning for our clubs with more gusto. Remember, everybody loves a winner, and all the rest love to beat those winners. The Rainiers have some great games and great nights in store for the fans coming up quick. On Thursday, June 2, Salt Lake will roll out recently-signed pitcher Tim Lincecum against the Rainiers. Tacoma will send Donn Roach to the mound, and he’s been on a tear of late. Over his last four appearances, Roach has logged 26.2 innings and given up just four runs. He’s hot, and Lincecum, the former San Francisco superstar, is making his first appearance in what seems like eons. Whatever the outcome, it looks like the fixings for a memorable night at Cheney. Friday, June 3, 10 and 17 are all “Fireworks Fridays� following the

ballgames at Cheney. If you need any more inducements to come out to a reasonably priced baseball game, then I’m not sure we’re on the same page. A free fireworks show is pretty much right there with baseball and apple pie. While I haven’t found any apple pie at the stadium yet, I’m pretty sure that two out of three still isn’t too bad. The Rainiers conclude their home stand with Salt Lake on Friday, June 3, before heading out to face the Las Vegas 51’s for a four-game set. Tacoma will return to Cheney on Thursday, June 9, for a four-game series with the Reno Aces and then hit the road to face the Salt Lake Bees for four games. Tacoma’s next home stand will begin Friday, June 17, as the Rainiers host the Fresno Grizzlies. For tickets and additional information, be sure to visit tacomarainiers.com.

The WIAA is pleased to announce Ella Brubaker of Curtis Junior High School as one of two “Give Me 5 Star Students of the Month� for April covering the state of Washington. Brubaker is currently an eighth grader at Curtis Junior High School in University Place, Wash. Brubaker is a 4.0 student, a committed volunteer, and an outstanding teammate. She competes on the Cougars’ soccer, basketball, and track team. The leading point getter on the Cougar track team, Brubaker is undefeated in four track and field events this year. “Ella has been an excellent leader by always practicing at a high level and promoting team work and cooperation among her teammates,� said Jennifer Zamira, assistant principal at Curtis Junior High School. “This goes beyond the court and field and into the classroom.� Brubaker is also heavily involved with volunteer work. The University Place native currently serves as a day camp volunteer for the Presbyterian Church leadership group. On top of all this, Brubaker is also a part of the advanced orchestra group at her school. “Ella is a positive role model for her teammates and peers, showing them in words and actions what it means to strive for excellence and learn from mistakes,� said Zamira. The students will be featured on the Activities Matter website and the Middle Level website. The monthly campaign is dedicated to highlighting two middle school students that demonstrate the core principles of the program; honor, sportsmanship, courage, respect, and citizenship. The Activities Matter website was launched at the beginning of the 2015 school year and is designed to be a resource for member schools and their communities to support the case for interscholastic sports and activities. Activities Matter consolidates a variety of dynamic resources, programs, and original content to highlight the long-term benefits associated with student participation in sports and activities.

MICHAEL’S MARKETING MINUTE

SECRET FAMILY RECIPE COOKS UP SUCCESS FOR MRS. PICKLES GOURMET

By Michael Harris It's a bird, it's a plane... it's a tweet! Yes, we're going to talk about Twitter today. It seems like most people are already a whiz at Twitter or they don't know anything about it. And if you're wondering if you should take the Twitter plunge, the only thing you really have to MICHAEL HARRIS consider is that every other major business and celebrity or public figure has an active account there, so it's probably a good idea to join the club. It's easy to sign up and even if you're already signed up, make sure you go in and fill out all the details of your profile, including a nice profile picture of your logo or your face, and don't forget the big background image as well. For your bio, make it to the point and try to mix in a little something that will make people smile. =) Once you're all set up, just start with one tweet a day. What to tweet? Don’t just say what you're doing or give random information, make it something meaty that your customers or clients will find interesting or stimulating someway, like a new product you’re carrying on your shelves, or a sale that runs through Monday, or a quote from a famous person with an inspiring photo. There’s much to learn about Twitter, but like everything, you gotta start somewhere, and today's the day to do it! Happy Tweeting! @allaboutgroove #thatsmyhandle

PHOTO COURTESY OF ALY CULLINANE

Aly Cullinane turned her family recipe into an icon. By William Manzanares william@universityplacepress.net

Ever watch “Antiques Roadshow� and wish you had some super valuable family heirloom tucked away? You might consider looking through your recipe box rather than your attic. For Aly Cullinane, her family treasure turned into an entrepreneur’s dream. More than 100 years ago, Cullinane’s Great-Grandmother Toots came to Tacoma from Branson, Mo. and brought with her a long-held secret family pickle recipe. “Since then each generation of women in the family have gotten together and pickled – just family members and just the women – and it gets passed down to any other women who marry into the family,� Cullinane said. “The recipe is so tightly held that I had to wait seven years, until I married her Great-Grandson DJ, before I was entrusted with the coveted process.� One day, Cullinane’s sister-in-law asked her if she were interested in partnering up to start selling pickles using the tried-and-true family formula. “I thought, ‘why not?’� Cullinane said, a first-year schoolteacher at the time. “First-year teachers don’t make a ton of money so I thought I might as well have a little side gig going on.� The partners started making and selling pickles at farmers markets and local events and within a few months had the product on local store shelves. “From there it snowballed into a fulltime gig. After my first year of teaching I terminated my contract and started doing pickles fulltime. That’s when I realized I could help others and inspire others while doing something I absolutely love, which is eating, selling and making pickles.� Thus, the Mrs. Pickles brand was established, named in spirit and fond family memories of the name that Great-Grandma Toots’ family lovingly refers to her as – Mrs. Pickles. Her sister-in-law has since left the business and

Cullinane now heads up the business herself. “I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit ever since I was a young kid,â€? she said, remembering the sidewalk Kool-Aid stands and little stores she would set up in her room when she was a youngster. “I never thought pickles, though, but I had always thought of something in grocery. The family made them for Christmas every year and they’d be gone within a couple of weeks – people would snag jars here and there and they’d be gone by Christmas, so we had to keep making more and more. That’s when we decided that it was something we could turn into a real business.â€? Featuring two types of crisp, delicious pickles – Original Sweet and Sour Dill and the Hot Mama with a kick of jalapeĂąo – Mrs. Pickles offers both flavors in 16-ounce spears and chips free of preservatives, dyes and other chemicals. The recipe remains tightly held and always will, Cullinane said, and it helps that the recipe isn’t written down but rather maintains a comfortable home in Cullinane’s head. Only one person outside of the family knows the concoction. “I have one person at my manufacturing facility who signed a non-disclosure agreement – that one person knows.â€? Over five years in business the recipe has received a good amount of national attention, too – for example, in “Oâ€? (the Oprah magazine) and an episode of the popular television show “Shark Tank.â€? Mrs. Pickles can be found in many local stores, including Tacoma Fresh, Tacoma Boys, Kroger, Fred Meyer, QFC, most local Thriftway locations and Red Apple. Also, look for Cullinane in her signature green apron with white polka dots handing out samples and selling her yummy products at these upcoming events: the Federal Way farmers market on June 11, the Northwest Garlic Festival in Long Beach, Wash. June 18-19, and Kent Cornucopia Days, July 8-10. Learn more at www.mrs-pickles.com where you can also place your order online and receive a 10 percent discount using the code “MemorialDayBBQ.â€?

“Moments” is a new series of dances that features Dance Theatre Northwest company members and guests in “art inspired” pieces created by Melanie Kirk-Stauffer, artistic director. It will be performed on Saturday, June 11 at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at Museum of Glass, 1801 Dock St., Tacoma. Each dance segment focuses on works from the collections and exhibitions currently at the Tacoma Museum of Glass. Kirk-Stauffer will share her observations and responses to various works through specifically created choreography. Offering an inside look at the exhibition generally inspires audience members to explore more of their own creativity.

The centerpiece of DTNW’s presentation is a new work entitled “Moments,” inspired primarily by the work “Dressage,” a four-panel leaded glass screen with rondelles created in 1999 by Dick Weiss. KirkStauffer “will attempt to further explore those moments of clarity, a kind of purity that is instinctive and that most artists translate into their work, along with those moments of vulnerability and strength that all seem to combine at times bringing lucidity to our creations so they really come together. The intentional choreography is designed to look spontaneous at times and is enhanced with a dramatic score by Rachmaninoff,” she said.

CALENDAR EVENTS TOP PICK: ‘AVENUE Q’ Fri., June 3, 8 p.m. Sat., June 4, 8 p.m. Sun., June 5, 2 p.m. Lakewood Playhouse, 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd SW, Lakewood Come and enjoy the South Sound debut of this Tony Award winning musical celebrating its first decade on Broadway. “Avenue Q” is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. The laugh-out-loud musical ARTWORK BY JAMES STOWE tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, “Avenue Q” is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned. This Show Contains Very Mature and Adult, Content. Parents are encouraged to research the content of this production on the Show’s Broadway website at http://www.avenueq.com.

Images from the collective “#Be The Curator” include audience favorites from MOG’s galleries in a larger exhibition of pieces from the Museum’s collection and “Every Soils Bears Not Everything,” by Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora Mace will be highlighted. New ballets “From the Heart” and “Habanera” feature dancers Lauren

Trodahl, Oceana Thunder, Philandra Eargle, Neil Alexander and Solana Sartain. Free with Museum admission, each performance is presented as a lecture demonstration. Kirk-Stauffer will be sharing fun and fanciful dance choreographies, discussing each piece being performed, and how collective experience and invention come together in the particular works.

There is still a little time left to get to the Art Gallery at Tacoma Community College and view the “2016 Student Art Exhibition.” The show is a big, tasty sampler of the wide variety of artwork that was produced by students that have circulated through TCC’s visual arts courses during the past year. The school’s art department offers classes in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, graphic design, sculpture and ceramics. What follows is a quickie tour of some of the show’s greatest hits. Among many examples of drawings, done in a variety of media, is Evan Sbory’s ink close-up of the face of a dog. Kyungbin Moon has a skilled hand and has contributed several noteworthy drawings like “Pont du Gard,” a delicate, color pencil drawing of Roman aqueducts and “Luscious Seattle,” a picture of the Seattle skyline at night with a cupcake in the extreme foreground. Julia Bakke’s crazy ink drawing, “Pineapple” features an unlikely cast of characters all done in a variety of pictorial styles. A panda is placing the titular pineapple atop a suit of armor to function as a head. A cluster of penguins stands at the feet of the pineapple-knight. A gnomish man bursts onto the scene riding astride a leaping fawn; he clings desperately to the fawn’s big ears. Among the painters, Jonathan Flemmer grabs scads of attention with his “Self Portrait in the Style of an Icon.” Here, the brash artist depicts himself life sized on a golden, gilded panel. He is dressed in silken robes like a biblical figure. Instead of a holy book, Flemmer pictures himself gazing at a tome called “The Big Butt Book,” with a goofy expression on his face. Another great painter is Denise Levine, whose acrylic painting of sliced jalapeno peppers is done with crisp precision. The same clarity of line and feel for design is present in Levine’s relief print “Beached Boat,” a scene of a rowboat on the textured sand of a beach. It is the printmaking students of instructor Marit Berg’s classes that generally produce some of the most interesting work in the TCC student shows. This one is no exception. In addition the Levine print, there are beautiful little things like Alissa McCormick’s “Family,” an etching showing a feral girl in cozy comfort with wolves. Jonathan Buchholtz produces an eye-catching image of a proud deer. The gallery walls are full of work by artists working in the digital realm. Johanna Brewer’s digital paintings, “Interstellar Self Portrait” and “Its Painful, Mother”

are richly made images. The former presents the artist as if she has stepped out of a Japanese science fiction cinematic animation. The latter is a surreal thing that seems part portrait and part x-ray. In the world of photography, the show runs the gamut from low tech to high. At the low end of the spectrum is a thing from Kyle Dillehay’s photo class: a giant, blue and white cyanotype that captures silhouettes of people, wheels, leaves and garden tools. There are poetic images like Reilly Gahm’s “Boathouse” and Biyao Chen’s “Experiment, Trees on Fire,” which is an eerie image of dark trees digitally enhanced so that they are edged in a red glow. Brookelynn Hiatt’s “Symmetry/Woods,” is a blending of cultural motifs. A young, blonde woman is seated like a guru in a forest setting. She has the multiple arms of a Hindu goddess and is seated on a Mexican blanket whose colors show up brilliantly against the green background. One wall of the gallery is dedicated to examples of work by the graphic design students. There are various ideas for movie posters as well as samples of signage for the art exhibition, some of which were made into postcards and banners used to promote the show. Instructor Dillehay’s sculpture students have been busy, using all manner of materials to make things in sync with Dillehay’s freewheeling, use-everythingincluding-the-kitchen-sink philosophy of 3-D design. The most interesting (and least jarring) is the aforementioned Flemmer’s “Suburbia.” This piece consists of a series of small house-shapes (not unlike the little green plastic houses used for the game Monopoly, but these are more the size of a good throwing stone) lined up on pieces of tree bark. Jeanette Otis makes use of a medium called hydrostone to make stylistic, geometric figures that collectively go by the title “Shapes and Textures.” The potters and ceramic artists of TCC’s illustrious and storied ceramic arts department are well represented on a series of pedestals clustered in the center. This motley crew has produced everything from skittering, long-tailed critters and miniature buildings to traditional trays and vessels done in a variety of glazing and firing techniques. Margaret C. Kalton’s “Clam Teapot” looks as if it is ready to spout seawater from its extended appendage. The 2016 TCC Student Exhibition,” has plenty to see, but you only have till June 10 before the show ends.

LOVELY LYRIC! Featured Pet Lyric (#A504517) is a 5-year-old beautiful petite orange tabby. Lyric believes that catnip is magic, and has a cute and silly way of showing you she’s really interested in it. She does this adorable head turn, slides her body along her blanket, and then nuzzles her nose into her toy. Lyric would enjoy a companion who wants to lovingly give her scratches behind her ears all the way down her back. If she can have room to roam and choose her favorite spots with catnip surprises, she’ll purr to her heart’s content. While she is a tad shy right now, she’s definitely blossoming each day. We don’t know her experience with children or dogs, and Lyric is an indoor cat who would do best with a slow introduction. Meet her at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital located at 401 Fawcett Avenue in Tacoma. More information can be found at www.metvetpets.com.
