NEIGHBORS CELEBRATE SAFETY AT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
INCUMBENTS ADVANCE IN TWO TACOMA RACES BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
More than 100 block parties took place around Pierce County on Aug. 6 as part of National Night Out. A nationwide effort that gets neighbors outside to meet each other and interact with the police officers who patrol their neighborhood, the local activities were organized by a number of groups such as Metro Parks and Safe Streets. The parties are a fun way to strengthen neighborhood unity, generate more support for anti-crime efforts and heighten awareness of anti-crime and anti-drug activities.
The event at People’s Park featured music by local jazz guitarist Michael Powers, bounce houses for the kids, people busy grilling meat for their neighbors and information booths staffed by people from Sea Mar Community Health Center, Metro Parks and Sound Credit Union. Darren Pen, who has worked as a community mobilization specialist for Safe Streets since 2005, attended 10 of the parties. “National Night Out is a powerful force. It is about having fun and getting to know your neighbor,” he remarked. “It is about looking out for one another and celebrating one another.” He said there were 26 parties in the
area he mobilizes in, with four of them being new locations. These included Blueberry Park, where live music drew hundreds of people, and Stafford Elementary School. A block watch group that formed three months ago held an event at Thompson Park, where they served fried rice and spring rolls. “The food was amazing,” Pen observed. An event at Jennie Reed Elementary School drew several families who had just moved into the neighborhood, according to Pen. Another party at the corner of South Alaska Street and South 66th Street also drew a lot of new faces. Pen said a safety issue that has been generating concern is an increase in drive-by shootings.
The two incumbents in Tacoma on the ballot for the primary election fared very well, with each coasting to a wide margin of victory in a field of three candidates. Meanwhile, six individuals faced off for two open seats on Port of Tacoma Commission. There are a total of 517,727 voters around Pierce County eligible to vote for Port of Tacoma Commission. There were 104,603 ballots returned, for a rate of 20.20 percent. For Port Commissioner position 3, first place goes to Deanna Keller. She received 40,095 votes, or 48.5 percent. Keller has served as president of KelTech Plastics since 2008. Prior to that, she worked as an educator in the Puyallup and Clover Park School Districts. She was in the U.S. Marine Corps from 198388. In the general election, she will face Frank Boykin, who came in second place with 23,363 votes, or 28.26 percent. Justin Camarata finished in third place with 18,775 votes, or 22.71 percent. He briefly served on Tacoma City Council on an interim basis when Robert Thoms was deployed to Afghanistan with the U.S. Navy Reserve. For Port Commissioner position 5, the two candidates who will advance to the general election finished very close to each other. After trailing slightly after the first count of ballots, Kristin Ang had a slight lead after the second day with 33,157 votes, or 33.94 percent. Dave Bryant is right behind her with 32,447 votes, or 39.09 percent. Bryant served in the U.S. Navy from 1974 to 2001. Since retiring from the service, he has worked in engineering and business development at Boeing in Kent. Ang, a business attorney, is the current president of the board of City Club of Tacoma. Shelley Schlumpf finished in third place. The former president and CEO of the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce received 17,052 votes, or 20.54 percent of the total cast.

TPD IS BUSY ON RECRUITMENT FRONT BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
Tacoma Police Department remains busy on the recruitment front, as it works to build up a corps of younger officers who will eventually replace veteran officers at or near retirement age. Tacoma City Council heard an update on the topic during the Aug. 6 study session from Police Chief Don Ramsdell
and Assistant Chief Ed Wade. TPD is budgeted at 405 positions, with 363 being commissioned officers and 42 people as non-commissioned personnel. As of July 31, the department had six commissioned vacancies. It has hired, or is giving final offers of employment, to 28 suitable applicants. Of these, nine are women. The hiring goal was for a total of 42 positions. Of the groups of applicants so far TPD
Tacoma Police Department has an eye-catching vehicle to use in its recruitment efforts.

this year, the first one had 21.3 percent women. The second group was 12 percent and the third 17.4 percent. Overall, 85.3 percent of TPD’s commissioned officers are male, while females make up 75 percent of the civilian staff. In regard to the status of new hires, 48 are currently on probation in patrol, with 15 currently in patrol training and the remaining 33 in the last phase and on their own in patrol. Five are currently at the academy, with 14 entry-level recruits set to enroll in the academy before the end of the year. TPD is dealing with the fact that many officers are at or close to retirement age. Currently there are 93 officers, or 26 percent of the force, eligible for retirement. This number will increase to 124 in three years and 139 in
five years. Wade said this reflects the big wave of hiring in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the city was struggling with an increase in gang activity and drug dealing. Some of the officers hired during that era are now nearing retirement. In 2017 TPD had 27 hires and 25 separations. In 2018 it had 30 hires and 25 separations. So for this year, it has 23 hires and 13 separations. Wade said that in general, officers are not leaving TPD to become officers in other departments. “And we want to keep it that way.” TPD compiles data on the ethnic background of applicants. The first group this year had white appli-

GOODWILL LAUNCHES NEW AEROSPACE AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING CAREER PROGRAM Tacoma, Longview and Yakima
Goodwill is helping to launch high paying aerospace, and other advanced manufacturing careers thanks to their new free course in advanced manufacturing and warehouse. The nonprofit created the Tacoma, Longview and Yakima program to meet increasing industry needs for a skilled workforce. “We see that industry trends and the high demand for a skilled labor force is painting a rosy picture for those considering a career in advanced manufacturing,” said Denis Asay, human resources director for General Plastics in Tacoma. “As an example, a production operator can enter the field at $20 an hour, and with promotions or improved skill level reach a $35 salary level in as early as four years,” said Asay. Goodwill and their training partner AJAC (Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee) debuted the new 12week program at their high-tech distance learning theater in Tacoma. Thanks to distance learning technology at their Tacoma education campus, Goodwill and AJAC are able to simulcast to mirror training sites at Longview
and Yakima education centers with each classroom also having their own work stations and instructor support. The program is made free to adults 18 and older thanks to support from Goodwill thrift store revenue and help from Tacoma industry giants such as General Plastic and Milgard Windows and Doors. The course covers advanced manufacturing and warehouse basics, including logistics, production and assembly. Included are multiple certifications and training for entry-level positions. The program emphasizes applied shop math, industry terminology, precision measuring, blueprints, G&M coding and an introduction to the manufacturing process and work flow. The program also prepares graduates with job search and employment skills and helps with entry-level job or apprenticeship placement. In addition to education support in the form of manufacturing and warehouse tours, area industry leaders also consider program graduates for employment. And at the late July course debut, Milgard Windows and Doors also surprised the audience with a $10,000
check for future support of the new program. TO APPLY The next program begins on Sept. 20 and runs through Dec. 13. Instruction is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A one-day (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.) mandatory orientation helps applicants better understand the industry, education paths and their best courses of action. Three orientations take place Aug. 28, Sept. 4 and Sept. 11. Interested adults can find more information at www.goodwillwa.org, along with details on other free career programs such as construction, culinary skills, barista skills, and computers.

HERRMANN LAW SUES BOEING AGAIN This week the Herrmann Law Group filed a federal lawsuit against The Boeing Company on behalf of the families of two victims who died in the crash of a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines. Herrmann Law Group also represents more than 30 victim families from the crash of Lion Air Flight JT 610 on Oct. 29, 2018. Both the Lion Air and Ethiopian air crashes involved new Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. The new complaint alleges three main charges: 1) Boeing’s 737 Max 8 was defective, 2) Boeing concealed the dangers of a new computer system on the aircraft from pilots, airlines, and the FAA, and 3) even after the Lion Air crash in 2018, Boeing failed to fully inform pilots of the dangers. Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET 302 departed Addis Abba, Ethiopia, on March 10, 2019. On board were eight crew members and 149 passengers from more than 30 countries. They were bound for Nairobi, Kenya. Many of the passengers were traveling to United Nations or African Union conferences. The plane crashed only minutes after takeoff. All on board died. The 157 victims include Canadian professor Adebola Pius Adesanmi, a world-renowned essayist, satirist, and human rights activist. Herrmann Law Group represents his estate. Born in Nigeria, Adesanmi was a professor at Carleton University in Ottawa, where he was director of the Institute of
Legislative, Executive, and Judicial advocacy
African Studies. He was a popular social media figure and award-winning author known for bridging the gap between academia and pop culture. After his death, Adesanmi’s wife, Olumuyiwa Balogun-Adesanmi, issued a statement expressing gratitude to people around the world mourning the loss. “I have no words to describe the depths of my pain on the untimely passing of my husband, Pius Adesanmi,” she wrote. “He was an extraordinary scholar, husband, devoted father and a fine gentleman. He was an uncommon breed. He wrote about human rights, gender equality and human dignity. He practiced what he preached. I am a living witness to the kindness of his soul and love for others.” Adesanmi, dedicated to a better Africa and world, was on the fatal flight so he could attend the African Union’s Economic, Social, and Cultural Council conference. A few minutes after departure, the Ethiopian Airlines plane had flight control issues much like Lion Air Flight JT 610. Both planes climbed, dove, climbed and dove in high-speed roller coaster rides until the final dive into the ground at roughly 500 mph. Preliminary investigations point to defects in the aircraft as the cause of the crashes. Driven by competition with Airbus, Boeing modified the 737 aircraft with larger, more powerful engines. The new engines created a structural defect that destabilized the aircraft with a dangerous

upward pitch that could cause a stall. Boeing attempted to fix this hardware problem with computer software called MCAS, the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System. MCAS was designed to force the nose of the plane down whenever data from a single angle of attack sensor indicated the plane was approaching a stall. There was no warning to the pilots when MCAS was activated. Further, pilots could no longer use the control column to reclaim manual control of the aircraft. To save costs and present the false appearance of continuity with previous 737 models, Boeing’s pilot training for the significantly modified 737 Max 8 consisted of a woefully inadequate 56-minute iPad program. The Herrmann Law Group’s complaint alleges Boeing “crossed the line between simple negligence and intentional misconduct when it concealed the dangers created by these defects in design, first from the FAA in the certification process, then in advertising to its airline customers, and worst of all, in failing to properly train and inform pilots.” After the Lion Air crash, pilots reacted with outrage when they learned MCAS was installed without their knowledge. “It’s pretty asinine for them to put a system on an airplane and not tell the pilots who are operating the airplane, especially when it deals with flight controls,” Captain Mike Michaelis, chairman of the safety committee for the Allied Pilots Association, told The Wall Street Journal. Following an FAA order, Boeing sent out a Flight Crew Operations Manual Bulletin after the Lion Air crash, but the information was inadequate. Among other shortcomings, the bulletin failed to advise pilots they lost the ability to reclaim manual control of the plane with the control column. The bulletin did not even expressly mention MCAS. A preliminary report on the ET 302 crash from Ethiopian authorities indicated the pilots followed instructions provided by Boeing, including emergency
procedures, but could not save the plane. “Years of experience representing hundreds of victims has revealed a common thread through most air disaster cases,” said Charles Herrmann, the principle of Herrmann Law Group. “Generating profit in a fiercely competitive market too often involves cutting safety measures.” The similarities of the Ethiopian and Indonesian disasters resulted in the worldwide grounding of the 737 Max. The planes are still grounded. “Boeing needs to take full responsibility for these tragedies,” said Mark Lindquist, an attorney with the Herrmann Law Group. “To move forward, Boeing needs to fairly compensate all of the victim families.” Boeing recently announced a $100 million fund to address community and family needs of those impacted by the crashes. The fund is unrelated to any lawsuits. “The fund is a good step,” said Lindquist. “But the magnitude of the human loss requires a leap. Full, fair, and fast compensation for the victim families is the best thing Boeing can do along with fixing the aircraft.” Lindquist, a former Pierce County prosecutor, bestselling novelist, and essayist, joined the Herrmann Law Group in January. He has tried some of the biggest cases in Washington state, including the murder of Special Olympian Kimmie Daly and the Tacoma Mall shooting. He also filed a lawsuit against “big pharma” as the elected prosecutor. The Lion Air lawsuit against Boeing was his first case as a plaintiff’s attorney in private practice. The Herrmann Law Group, founded in 1950 by former State Senator and State Insurance Commissioner Karl Herrmann, is a personal injury firm with offices in Seattle and Tacoma. Their practice areas include all types of personal injury cases from catastrophic disasters to auto accidents.
