She’d get off work at about 6 a.m., and meet up with her longshoremen friends for drinks and a few laughs.

WALK TACOMA HOLDS SCAVENGER HUNT

Come explore downtown Tacoma and join Downtown On the Go for a walking scavenger hunt Wednesday, Aug. 7, from 4:30-8 p.m. Participants will begin the scavenger hunt at the Social Bar and Grill (1715 Dock St.), the event sponsor, between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. Participants may complete the hunt as individuals or in teams, and will use public transportation and their feet to take them to destinations scattered across downtown Tacoma before meeting back at the Social Bar and Grill for food, drinks and prizes at 6:45 p.m. Participants will decipher clues that will lead them to specific downtown destinations, many of which have been featured during the 2013 Walk Tacoma series. Participants will be asked to take a photo at many of the locations, so a camera or camera phone is required. The event is free, and there is no need to pre-register for the event. All ages are welcome. Many teams and individuals who complete the hunt will win prizes. The highest scoring individual and team will each win a grand prize and be featured by Downtown On the Go in the Commuter Profiles series (www.downtownonthego.com/work/commuter-profiles). Since this is the final Walk Tacoma walk of 2013, Downtown On the Go will also be rewarding participants who took public transit, walked, or biked to any of the Walk Tacoma events by entering them into a drawing to win one of six baskets, each in the theme of one of the DOTG walking maps. The Scavenger Hunt is part of Downtown On the Go’s 2013 Walk Tacoma series sponsored by Franciscan Health System. It is an eight-event walking series held on the first and third Wednesdays, from April through August. The fun, themed walks, now in their fourth year, encourage downtown employees and residents to exercise and enjoy the outdoors by discov-

ering the different walking routes and parks in downtown Tacoma. The walks are scheduled at the lunch hour and just after work to encourage downtown employees to walk during their workday, whether it is to and from work, at a lunch break, or to a nearby meeting. For an exclusive sneak peak at some of the clues, follow Downtown On the Go on Facebook and Twitter. For more information on the full Walk Tacoma Series, visit www.downtownonthego.org.

Police Blotter DEA RAIDS MARIJUANA +0:7,5:(9@

Federal law enforcement agents served search warrants at the Tacoma Cross marijuana dispensary last Wednesday as they also raided a handful of other dispensaries in Seattle, Olympia and Lacey. While Washington voters approved recreational use of marijuana, its use remains illegal under federal law, a fact that puts our state’s marijuana-related operations in a gray legal area. The cultivation and sale of marijuana for medical reasons requires medical screenings and has caps on the amount of marijuana a patient can have at one time. No one was arrested in the raids, however, many employees from the marijuana dispensaries and collective grow operations apparently were ordered to appear in federal court this fall. The dispensaries were also among the dozens of marijuana businesses targeted with similar raids two years ago.

 â€¨â€Š 314 By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

The 1926 model of the Cadillac Series 314 was narrower and taller than previous models and offered a more durable nickel-plated radiator with vertical, thermostatically controlled shutters. It also offered tilting headlights and a V-8 engine that offered 80 horsepower through a three-speed manual transmission. It was apparently also difficult to maintain, namely its 65 lubrication points. The 1926 Cadillac was marketed as “The New Cadillac� because its introduction of body design and amenities. This was a significant vehicle for Cadillac because that was the year the company shifted from Henry Leland engineering to Earnest Seaholm and Harley Earle. The Series 314 designation was used chiefly by the sales and mechanical departments. No, it does not refer to geometry, as in pi. It simply referred to the

all four wheels provided the stopping power. A total of 27,771 Cadillacs were produced in 1926 at a price tag of between $3,000 and $5,000. The remaining cars sought by collectors often run upwards of $100,000 when they come to auction.

Bank On It: PCMARVETS makes ethical, economic sense By Kathleen Merryman

I

f you served with Diane Malone in the Army or the Reserves, if you live in her neighborhood, be warned: Next time Malone sees you, she will ask you to help keep the PCMARVETS’ mobile field office on the road. Founded last year with a $125,000 grant from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, the non-profit veteran’s outreach purchased a 1997 Ford Fleetwood motor home, computer equipment and hired Erica Westling as veteran case manager. They take the office to parts of Pierce County that do not have easy access to Veterans Affairs resources. From senior centers and food banks to nursing homes, gun shows and homeless encampments, they offer veterans the expertise and materials to file claims for benefits they may have earned. It is noble work, Malone said. It is necessary work. And now, after a year of traversing the county at $100 per tank of gas, PCMARVETS is facing the end of its funds. If it cannot raise enough to keep it on the road, the non-profit will have to park the mobile field office. Malone was the first to step up. She brought a check for $100, plus a case of water and rolls of paper towels, to the Tacoma Weekly offices. She had hoped she was just one in a stream of donors. After 22 years, she knows what it means to be part of the military family. “I was a Reservist for 13 years at McChord with an air medical squadron, and nine at Camp Murray with an 85-bed MASH hospital,� she said. She found a meaningful, challenging, rewarding life as part of what she considers her military family. Some veterans never experienced that sense of support, and she wants to do what she can to help PCMARVETS connect them to their benefits. “They’re out there hiding,� Malone said. “When I go hiking by Wilkeson, I see these homes, very modest, almost camps with the American flag and the POW flag, and I think that a lot of them are veterans.�

An acquaintance told her, “My mom and dad would be doing fine without having to pay $1,500 for their meds each month.� The father, she learned, was a veteran who, as he said, “only did one hitch� and did not think he had veterans’ benefits. “I took him to the VA, and now the meds are down to $300 a month,� Malone said. “I met a vet who was panhandling,� she said. “He told me ‘I can’t go to the VA. They told me I can’t use it because of my alcoholism.’ I told him I would drive him there myself.� That’s how she is. She doesn’t advise people to contact Veterans Affairs. She takes them to the office to fill out the claim. She knows they have been given buckets full of misinformation over the years. Many have told PCMARVETS Board Vice Chairman George Hight that when they left the service after fighting in Vietnam, their sergeants told them they were not eligible for benefits because they were drafted, only did one tour, were not technically veterans, and so on. “The misunderstanding just goes on and on,� Hight said. “We know those veterans are out there, in nursing homes, unable to travel, far out in the woods. We find them and go to them. More than 300,000 were wounded. How many more were unidentified as wounded? Twenty years ago, they were told Agent Orange didn’t hurt anybody. They were treated terribly. They didn’t want to go back. Those are the ones we are pulling back into the fold now. Often compensation will make the difference between homelessness and a respectable lifestyle.� The veterans are not the only ones who have benefited. In the year Westling has been work-

Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and the city knows it. During the past couple of years, the city has acknowledged this issue by spending millions of dollars in major arterial repairs with the council’s “pothole initiative.� And in 2010, routine maintenance by Tacoma’s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road. In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square feet of road riddled with holiness, and continued those efforts in 2012. And while that may sound like a lot of ground, new holes pop up – or return – each and every day, which means a pothole-free road might never exist in Tacoma. With the help of our readers and our dedicated Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the city’s biggest and best potholes through our weekly homage to one of T-Town’s most unnerving attributes.

ing out of the field office, she has met with 500 veterans and brought them more than $4 million in benefits they earned. Think of that as a local stimulus package paid for with service to America. These veterans are putting that $4 million straight back into Pierce County’s economy. They have paid off debts, bought groceries, clothing and reliable vehicles. Some have been able to purchase modest homes, and some have steady rent money. Malone is happy to have helped support the effort. But she had a criticism. The Tacoma Weekly, at 2588 Pacific Highway, is the main donation center, but if you don’t know we’re in the Walt’s Muffler parking lot just down Pacific Highway from the Harley dealership, we can be hard to find. And some people are wary of making financial transactions on-line, even at the non-profit’s website at www.pcmarvets. com. Malone suggested a direct donation account at a popular bank. Hight and Westling agreed. They have set up a PCMARVETS account at Columbia Bank. Don’t make Diane Malone have to drive you there.

RENDERING COURTESY CITY OF TACOMA

:(-,;@ -09:; Tacoma City Council is pondering a change that would expand school zones. By Steve Dunkelberger stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Tacoma City Councilmember Robert Thoms has presented a plan to the council that would widen the speed-reduction areas around school zones. The proposed changes city staffers are now detailing could basically double the 20-mile-per-hour speed zone around schools. Current zones are determined by measuring the 300-foot speed reduction zone starting at the school’s main crosswalk and moving outward 300 feet in both directions. This method means that the school zone often begins in the middle of a block or midway along a school’s ball field or parking lot. The proposal would change that measurement to up to 300 feet from the school’s “active use� area, namely ball fields, parking lots and playgrounds. The change would mean schools would have reduced speed zones about two city blocks around them. The idea had been under discussion and endorsed by the School Safety Task Force, a joint committee that includes city and school officials.

“With the upgrades of schools across the Tacoma Public Schools District, this effort is actually a great time to drive toward greater collaboration and partnership where we have similar concerns,� Thoms said. “We obviously control the streets and infrastructure, and they know the schools that have the most acute growth and challenges.� City staff is working out the details, but the initial proposal is to do the work in phases, starting with elementary schools that would only require moving the current signs farther down the streets to fit the new school zone policy. That would cost $13,000 and change school crossings at four locations. The effort would then target the three schools that would only require minor changes and a few new signs. Cost is estimated to be $900. The third phase is expected to cost $50,000 to change zones at nine schools because the work could include street upgrades. The first two phases can simply be absorbed into the city’s current street budget and be finished by the time school starts in September. The final phase, however, would likely require some cost sharing. Street

changes around schools are often funded by a three-way split among the City of Tacoma, Tacoma Public Schools and state grants. One concern about the changes involves a matter of driver behavior. If a school zone is too long, drivers might slow down at the first sign only to speed up again by the time the school passes outside their windows 600 feet later. A test at Lowell Elementary School, for example, had mixed results. “That is the great debate,� said Safety and Environment Manager for Tacoma Schools Ken Wilson. The district doesn’t have statistics on student-related car accidents around schools, but many of the schools are located on either main arterials or roads that have seen increased traffic volumes during the years since they were built, Wilson said. “I don’t have a lot of hard data, but we get periodic reports of kids being bumped and that kind of thing,� he said, noting that such non-injury incidents often don’t generate a formal report. “You get the impression that traffic isn’t calming down

around schools.� While some drivers might first slow down only to speed up while still in a school zone, it would just take one driver to honor the speed limit to slow the rest of traffic since most schools border two-lane roads that wouldn’t easily allow a speeding car to pass, he said. The Tacoma Police Department doesn’t aggregate accident data in school zones either. Police reports use cross streets to denote crash sites, not location names like schools. “We don’t have a whole lot of them,� Tacoma Police spokeswoman Loretta Cool said of pedestrian-versus-car accidents in school zones. She recalled two. One was last year, when a student on a bike apparently was clipped by a car but was not seriously injured. Another occurred more than a decade ago, when a boy living across the street from Lister Elementary School ran from his house to play with other children who had arrived to school early. “He just opened the door and ran off,� she said. A passing SUV hit the boy and dragged him under the car. He died. “That was a really bad one.�

William Hansen’s sidecar. Leon, on the left, and Crash bring up the rear.

There are few things dogs like more than riding in cars. Riding in motorcycles is one of them. Ever a friend to pups, William Hansen has adapted his sidecar to provide maximum canine delight. He built the front compartment with enough room for a person and a fair-sized dog. Then he added a back section with two wells just the right size for toy breeds. “I’ve had six cycle dogs,� he said. “Three of them have passed away.� One was his black Labrador retriever, who is memorialized in a bust on the back.

One of them belonged to a friend, and outlived him. When the dog died, Hansen had its body cremated and buried the ashes next to the old owner’s grave in the Puyallup Tribal Cemetery. His dog, Mugsy, who he says may be part dingo, goes everywhere with him. The dogs that belong to his daughter, Angie Hansen, love it when he pulls up. He tells them they’re going for a ride. They pop into their seats and the 1973 BMW roars off as they seek adventure on America’s unending blacktop. Or drive a few blocks to do some banking. We met the dogs while Hansen was doing his banking. (Remember that. It could win you four tickets to a Rainiers game, plus sidewalk chalk and a Frost Park locator map.) They attracted admirers, remaining calm even as they became a photo op. If you look between the stickers on the rear, you will notice one small failure in truth in advertising. Leon the Chihuahua and Crash the terrier are not “PSYCHO DOGS.� Neither is Mugsy, who rides shotgun in the passenger compartment. The wind in their ears and the delicious aromas of Tacoma make them too happy for bad behavior. They were waiting, quiet and patient, for Hansen to come out of the Tacoma-grown financial institution. Hansen, too is Tacoma-grown. He was, in fact, born almost across the street from where he banks. Here’s your Quirk Question: In what hospital was William, “Wilbur� to his pals, Hansen born?

Over the years, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has transformed itself and its role in the community. The Tribe’s determined protection of its natural resources, its pivotal role in development of Tacoma’s port area, the Tribe’s major donations to other governments and to charitable organizations, the new-concept Tahoma Market gas station and convenience store, and the development and expansion of the Tribe’s Emerald Queen Casinos are examples of the Puyallup Tribe’s economic progress. Through its two Emerald Queen Casino locations, Administration, Health Authority, Housing Authority, economic development corporation, and school, the Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County with a payroll of more than 3,500 people – 74 percent of whom are non-Native – and total spending in 2011 of nearly $430 million. This spending supports the community by paying good wages and generous benefits to individuals, and by purchasing goods and services from local suppliers, vendors, contractors and construction companies. Assistance provided to the broader Native American community and the Puyallup Tribal membership also has a far-reaching impact in the community as most of these dollars are in turn spent in the local economy. The Puyallup Tribe is continuously living up to its name, which means, “generous and welcoming behavior to all people.� As such, the Tribe is a key sponsor of countless local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare projects and events that may otherwise suffer in today’s tight economy. Despite economic uncertainties across the country, the South Sound is doing well, and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians plays a key role in keeping that a reality. From funding education, jobs, healthcare, city improvement projects, crime prevention and environmental efforts, the Tribe’s tradition as the “generous people� is as strong today as it ever was. This pamphlet gives several examples of the Tribe’s participation in the community.

'.&#-'#. ,#- /'+*. 6 ),-+1'*% $5!'#*!4 + -+/#!/ ()+* Puyallup Tribe operates two of the five hatcheries on the Puyallup River, playing a vital role in salmon restoration and commercial fishing alongside non-tribal facilities. With the Tribe’s acquisition of an innovative fish screw system, the fisheries operations expect to become more efficient and effective in 2013 than ever before. The system moves fish through peak returns without relying on their natural migration habits, according to Russ Ladley, resource protection manager for the Tribe. The system reduces the time and resources required to move fish during peak times, and moves them more efficiently improving hatchery production. “This has greatly lessened man hours needed for fish spawning,� Ladley said. “We have had trouble loading fish during peak returns when they don’t want to move through the fish ladder, but the fish screw would make it not optional to keep moving.� The application of this system is

growing in the Pacific Northwest, but the Puyallup Tribe is staying ahead of the curve by working closely with fabricators to improve the design and maximize the success of the system. The Puyallup Tribe is leading the way through its hard work, resources, and innovation to improve the system with the hopes it can be utilized by Tribal and non-Tribal fish hatcheries to improve hatchery operations and fish production. In addition to the Tribe’s innovative hatchery operations, a $250,000 2012 project to build an acclimation pond on private land in Clearwater to provide for spring Chinook runs is now complete, and should see its first fish next spring. “This project fills a production hole we’ve had since the road washed away in 2009,� Ladley said. The Tribe’s hatchery is key in providing spring Chinook runs for Tribal and non-Tribal fisherman on the Puyallup River.

/'1# )#-'! *. 4 3#. '(('+* '* Indian people pay taxes. They pay most of the same taxes non-Indians pay, and in some cases additional Tribal taxes as well. Indians have a few tax exemptions, just as non-Indians do. The Puyallup Tribe and its members are dramatic examples of these realities. Indian tribes collect taxes that are then sent to the appropriate taxing bodies. The Tribe withholds federal income tax from its employees (who include Puyallup Tribal members, other Indians, and nonIndians), and from the per capita payments it makes to its members. As federal law provides, the Tribe sends that money to the I.R.S., a total of over $42 million in FY 2012. As an employer, the Tribe pays its share of payroll taxes and withholds payroll taxes from its employees, which is then sent to the Social Security Administration and other government agencies. Those taxes added up to over $16 million in FY 2012. Under the terms of agreements with the State of Washington and local governments, the Tribe collects and pays tax funds to those governments, including about $10 million to the State of Washington, and $300 thousand to the City of Fife. Unlike all other governments, non-trust land owned by the Puyallup Tribal government is often subject to state and local property taxes. In 2012, the Puyallup Tribe paid nearly $1 million dollars in property taxes to state and local governments. The total amount in taxes collected, withheld, or paid to the various governments by the Tribe in FY 2012 was over $70 million.

POYTHRESS LIFTS RAINIERS WITH TWO HOMERS Walker struggles in fifth Triple-A start

LOCAL STANDOUT MATZENAUER NETS THIRD PNW TITLE Second seed Peralta upsets Abid for men’s title

S

econd seeds Suzanne Matzenauer and Julio Peralta each pulled off upsets to emerge victorious in the women’s and men’s singles tournaments at the 122nd Annual Pacific Northwest Open Tennis Championships at the Tacoma Lawn and Tennis Club on July 23-28. “The weather, the fans and, of course, the play on both sides of the draw were fantastic,” said tournament co-director Mike Politeo. “It just keeps getting better every year.” While the men’s side of the draw saw its share of great play all tournament long, the storylines to watch were on the women’s side. Both top seed Gail Brodsky and Matzenauer – the hometown favorite and Bellarmine Prep grad – had their sights set on being the first player since Teresa Dobson in 1993 to become a three-time winner. Brodsky, the back-to-back defending champion, needed only three games against an injured Kady Pooler to get through to the finals. But Matzenauer was tested in the semifinals by 16-year-old defending runner-up Dasha Ivanova, who gave her everything she could handle with her quick feet and precision ground strokes. But in the end, Matzenauer pulled out a 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 victory to earn the right to face Brodsky. “Ivanova is really tough, she really extended me all day,” said Matzenauer. On the men’s side, top-seeded Mohamed Abid cruised through to the finals with a 6-3, 6-2 win over third-seeded Malcolm Harrison after losing the first two games of the first set, and Peralta defeated unseeded Campbell Johnson 6-1, 7-5 to set up Sunday’s final. But Peralta jumped out early and never looked back in the anticlimactic championship match, winning 6-1, 6-3 and winning seven consecutive games at one point. “I played very patiently and stuck to my game plan and beat a real good player in the process,” said Peralta, who originally hails from Chile but will be instructing in California in the near future. The stage was set for Brodsky or Matzenauer to achieve tournament history and equal Teresa Dobson’s feat in the early 90’s. Matzenauer took a 6-4 win in the first set, which featured four service breaks. Tied 1-1 in the second set, Matzenauer won three consecutive games, finally establishing a good serve and volley game to defeat Brodsky 6-4, 6-3. “I’d like to thank my coach Gill Rigell, who has had a big influence on my game,” said Matzenauer, who also won the title in 2005 and 2010. “I started to play a lot better in the second set. To beat the two-time defending champ is something special.” Matzenauer later teamed up with Pooler to take the women’s doubles title, defeating Megan Carter and Meghan Cassens 6-4, 6-2. She added the trifecta when she teamed with Luke Shields for an 8-4 win over Brian Battistone and Carter X See PNW / page A8

Among the numerous roster moves made by the Tacoma Rainiers this season, Taijuan Walker has certainly created the most buzz with his dominant pitching during his first month in Triple-A. But on a night when the 20-year-old faced his first struggles with the Rainiers, it was lineup regular Rich Poythress who stole the show. Poythress homered twice – including a walk-off solo shot on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the 10th inning – to give the Rainiers a 6-5 win over the Tucson Padres on July 25 and keep Tacoma in a tight playoff race after recently falling out of first place. “It’s been an interesting year,” said Poythress, in his first season in Triple-A. “I’m learning a lot of things not only about the game but about myself. I’m just working hard, and luckily the last week or so things have worked out… when it works out it’s obviously fantastic.” The Rainiers took a quick 1-0 lead in the first inning when Ty Kelly scored on an infield single by Stefen Romero, and increased the lead to 2-0 on Abraham Almonte’s sacrifice bunt that plated Scott Savastano in the second. Poythress then drilled his first homer in the third – a line drive over the left field wall with Romero in motion on a hit-and-run – to make it 4-0. “Rich Poythress is just killing the ball,” said Rainiers manager John Stearns. “I can’t say enough good things about him.” Walker, meanwhile, retired the first six batters – four by strikeout – before allowing a solo homer to former Rainier Mike Wilson leading off the top of the third. Walker then began to struggle in the fourth, when the Padres sent nine batters to the plate and scored four runs. Gregorio Petit started the damage with a single past a diving Savastano to plate Daniel Robertson. Chris Robinson later added a tworun single, and Jesus Merchan gave Tucson a 5-4 lead with a single up the middle to score Wilson. “He struggled a little bit,” Stearns said of Walker, who allowed five runs on six hits in five innings, with three walks and eight strikeouts. “He’s 20 years old. He’s going to need those struggles at this level. But he’s going to work through those and come out better on the other side.” The Rainiers’ offense couldn’t answer until the bottom of the eighth, when Poythress walked with two outs and later scored on an opposite-field bloop single by catcher Jason Jaramillo to make it 5-5. That score stood until the 10th, when Poythress hammered a firstpitch fastball from Brad Brach over the left field fence to end it. “I’ve had a lot of at-bats against Brach in the Cal League, in Spring Training in Arizona, fall stuff, everything,” Poythress said. “He’s actually a pretty good friend of mine. I figured he’d challenge me.” Poythress finished 3-for-4 with two homers, a double, three runs scored and three RBIs. As of July 30, the Rainiers remained one game behind Salt Lake in the standings with a 60-50 record.

NOMADS TAKE THIRD AT THE TACOMA AROMA Men’s, women’s and high school rugby tourneys converge

The premier summer showcase for rugby in Tacoma returned on July 27, as 29 men’s, women’s and high school teams from around the region converged on Portland Avenue Park for the 36th Annual Tacoma Aroma 7’s Tournament. “We try to keep it growing every year,� said Ryan McHugh, president of the host Tacoma Rugby Club and coach of the Tacoma Nomads. “It’s the longest running sevens tournament in the Northwest.� The Nomads – in the men’s tournament – started off with a solid 29-5 win over Fort Lewis in their opener in pool play. Robby Lavatai got the Nomads on the board, while Nick Lonn and Cameron Archie each scored and Nick Lipoma added two scores. They fol-

lowed that up with an exciting 14-12 win over the Eastside Axemen, as Lavatai used blazing speed to score twice on breakaway runs. “I just tried to use what they gave me,� said Lavatai, who joined the Tacoma Rugby Club two years ago after first taking up the sport 10 years ago. “See a gap and go for it. Put your head down and go for the score.� In a tense few minutes late in the first half, the Nomads’ defense came up with big stops three times to preserve a tight 7-5 lead at the break, and proving to be the key part of the match. But the Nomads came up against perennial heavyweight Old Puget Sound Beach (OPSB) in the first round of the playoffs, quickly bringing the momentum to an end. Lavatai quickly got the Nomads on the board, breaking down the right side for a long try to make it 5-0. But after that it was all OPSB,

as they broke for several long scores and breezed to the win. “You can only play defense for so long, and it’s hard work to play defense,� McHugh said. “There’s just too much firepower. We broke down. We gave it a shot and did the best we could.� OPSB would later take the tournament title by topping Oregon Sports Union (ORSU) of Portland. While the Nomads settled for third place in the men’s bracket, the Tsunamis – the high school team for the Tacoma Rugby Club – found the road similarly difficult in their tournament. Facing Prairie in their opener, the Tsunamis battled to just a 5-0 deficit at the half, but couldn’t create much offensive attack as they managed a late score but fell 17-5. They later were eliminated 26-0 by top seed Liberty, the eventual tournament winners.

The Tacoma Sirens started off with a convincing 19-5 win over Chuckanut in the women’s tournament, but were blanked 24-0 by ORSU in their second pool contest. The Sirens were topped again by ORSU in the finals to settle for second place. With rugby sevens set to make its debut in the 2016 Olympics, it’s safe to say that the Tacoma Aroma will be a tournament that continues to grow in the near future. “It’s basically a good environment,� Lavatai said. “You come up here and play the game hard. Everything is left on the field. You come off and everybody is brothers, basically.� “Sevens is growing,� added McHugh. “It’s a crowd favorite because there’s so much action. You don’t have to know much about rugby to understand it. (There’s) a lot of big hits and good skills.�

for the mixed doubles title. Battistone and Joel Kielbowicz defeated Abid and Oren Motevassel 6-1, 1-6, 6-1 for the men’s doubles title. By Steve Mullen

;67 :,,+: *9<0:, 05 8<(9;,9-05(3:

Early in the Pacific Northwest Open, the top few seeds in both the men’s and women’s singles tournaments proved exactly why they were placed there. After cruising in two sets in his first two matches to advance to the quarterfinals, top seed Mohamed Abid proved to be too much for Boise State sophomore Thomas Tenreiro, who had battled for a three-set victory over Brian Patrick Foley in the round of 16. Abid slowly wore down Tenreiro, eventually claiming a 6-3, 6-3 victory that he finished with an ace. Similarly, second seed Julio Peralta made

short work of eighth seed Emmett Egger, winning 6-0, 6-1 in the quarterfinals by repeatedly showcasing a solid backhand return. The most interesting, and physically draining, match in the quarterfinals was between third seed Malcolm Harrison and fourth seed Joel Kielbowicz. The two – who have played doubles and trained together for several years – went back and forth with swings of momentum, as Harrison won the final two games to claim the first set 6-4. Kielbowicz answered right back, claiming four of the final five games in the second set for a 6-3 win. But Harrison shot out to a 3-1 lead in the third set, eventually taking the match with a 6-3 win. “Joel is such a tough competitor,� Harrison said. “It’s always a difficult challenge playing him because he handles pace well and he handles aggressive players really well. I like to be aggressive, so we kind of counterbalance each other out on the court.�

Unseeded Campbell Johnson – a senior at the University of California – capped an impressive few days by taking a 6-3, 6-1 win over tournament regular Oren Motevassel in the final men’s quarterfinal. The two traded games in the first set, but Johnson turned it on to win the final three games, and took a commanding 4-0 lead in the second set by forcing Motevassel into some errors. “I think the first set was so long and taxing physically,� said Johnson, in his first year at the PNW. “The second set I started to get on a roll a little bit in the beginning and just kind of ran with it. We were both pretty tired, it was just whoever could maintain the longest.� The women’s quarterfinals went completely as expected, as the top four seeds advanced. Top seed Gail Brodsky got an easy pass when Megan Carter had to withdraw before the match, and third seed Dasha Ivanova won the first set 6-2 over fifth seed Denise Dy, who retired with Ivanova leading 1-0 in the second set.

Matzenauer seemed to get an advantage by taking a 2-1 lead, but the two then exchanged sets, with Lehmicke refusing to let down. But Matzenauer finally closed it out with a 7-5 win, rallying for four straight points after being down 40-0 in the final game.

South Tacoma Business District invests in a workplace garden of hanging baskets By Kathleen Merryman kathleen@tacomaweekly.com

Are you and your employer up for the challenge of a workplace garden? If so, we want to hear from you. Tell us the kind of space you have, the work you do, and why you think a garden is a good fit. Let us know how you decided the size and form. Are you going raised bed or in-ground? What is your planting medium? Will you go with food, flowers or a combination? What will you do with the things you grow? What’s your position on garden art? Do you fear gnomes? How about clown gnomes? Over the summer, we will share tips and award prizes. Let us know what you’re growing at work at kathleen@tacomaweekly.com.

The pink wave rolls through the South Tacoma Business District, welcoming to the urban village shoppers, diners and folks who need haircuts. Since 1997, businesses in the walkable center on South Tacoma Way have invested in beauty – and the young people who plant and maintain it. This year, they have spent close to $5,000, about half their annual budget, on 120 hanging baskets of pink wave petunias. The wave petunias work best because they don’t have to be dead-headed said Bruce Peterson, who owns Brown’s Flowers and serves as a director of the business district. For the past three years they’ve gone with the deep pink color for the simple, smitten reason that it is gorgeous and bright and summery. It’s a fresh complement to the public art that tells the story of the workingclass neighborhood built around transportation, from horses to trains, trolleys, even airplanes. It may not be a rich urban village, but that $5,000 is well spent, business district members believe. It sends a message of welcome. “The baskets show that we care,” Peterson said. “The membership buys into it. They enjoy it. They like it. They’re proud of it. The neighbors like it.” He knows that because people like Mary Lewis stop in and thank him throughout the summer. “They always bring a smile to my lips and to my heart,” Lewis wrote in a letter to Tacoma Weekly advising us that we would be missing a good story

if we did not write about the baskets. Smart woman, that Mary Lewis. Lewis aims her thanks at Peterson because he started the basket tradition. “When we started, it was 40 baskets,” he said. “I did them in my greenhouse.” The project outgrew that space, about the time Mount Tahoma High School opened, with a greenhouse and a horticulture curriculum. It was a natural fit. “We buy the plants, soil and pots and take them to Mount Tahoma High School. They have a fabulous agriculture program,” said Peterson. The horticulture students put the baskets together in Mount Tahoma’s enviable greenhouse and have them ready by midMay. “It gives them practice,” Peterson said. After that, the baskets give Kyle Couture a part-time job. Couture, who is 17 and will be a senior at Mount Tahoma, waters the baskets, as his older sister, Alexis Couture, and brother, Justin Pease, did before him. Every day, or every other day, depending on the weather, he hauls his cart, with its 30-gallon vat and its watering wand, on a route around the district, stopping to fill up five times. “It’s the best summer job a teenager could have,” Couture said. “You work for three hours, and it’s usually nice outside.” This year, he said, aphids marched on the baskets and debeautified them for a week or so. The petunias are recovering now. The aphids are not. The waves are rolling on.

“We were overwhelmed by the number of ideas,� she said. They ranged from the arts to communication, gardens and food, events, and projects by -- and for -- young people. They spanned Pierce County, from Gig Harbor to Orting. They were proposed by young-to-senior visionaries who represent Pierce County’s enviable diversity. The funding is smart, and minimal. Some of the projects are onetime events, others are start-ups for long-term programs. All have accountability and an element of legacy built into them.

agreement between the YMCA and Arizona State University while she was there. She brought the idea to Tacoma when she became chancellor. The facility will be at the site of the former Longshoremen’s Hall at 1710 Market St. that the university already owns and uses as a gaming center and event space. The location is within the university’s campus and also just a few blocks away from the downtown Tacoma YMCA facility at 1144 Market St. But the facility will be more than a gym. The proposed 70,238square-foot building will have three floors that will include an indoor track, a weight room, a gym much like other YMCA facilities, but it will also have meeting rooms, lounges, multipurpose rooms and office spaces for student activities. “You could consider it a Student Union facility as well,� said UWT spokesman John Burkhardt. More than 50 student groups can be found on the campus and currently have few dedicated spaces to hold meetings or to store supplies. The building’s conceptual design shows spaces for them as well as a grand entryway and a twostory gymnasium that could accommodate an NCAA-regulation basketball or volleyball court.

of operations by being flexible and use as much natural light as possible. “Some things have yet to be completely configured,� said Burkhardt, noting that large timber beams from the existing building might find their way into the new facility to be more eco friendly and honor the site’s history. The university will fund construction of the $20 million building and maintain the exterior shell and landscaping. YMCA will administer the recreation and wellness facility, providing exercise equipment and maintaining the interior spaces. For students, it means quick and free access to meeting and workout spaces. The monthly YMCA membership will be covered by the activity fees student already pay along with their tuition. Members of the public who are YMCA members will have full access to the facility, like any other Y branch. “We can’t wait to build this new community hub to serve UW Tacoma students and our community. Our partnership continues to strengthen as we go through this process,� said THE 9 S 0RESIDENT AND #%/ "OB %CKLUND Partnership is the key to the building. The university strives to partner with existing groups rather than invent something on its own whenever possible, Burkhardt said. The university doesn’t have a cafeteria or school-run eating facilities, for example, because officials would rather provide those opportunities to private ventures.

“We truly got to know our customers and their friends and family.� During Flying Boots’ peak years, Warren had about 25 full-time employees, where this year she had five. The restaurant took a hit when Washington passed a law prohibiting smoking indoors and in public places. Coupled with changing liquor laws and the economy, it has been a long, hard road for Warren, who poured

much of her own money into the business in recent years. “This was supposed to be my retirement plan, but it is not exactly working out that way,� she said. The business has been on the market for more than three years, and she hopes the right buyer will come along and see the potential she did. “During our best years, Flying Boots would gross about $1 million,� she said. “The potential is there.�

MUSIC = HAPPINESS. Just like MAWP reveler Judi Hyman (above, left), you too will be a happy camper when your ears take in the sounds of Blanco Bronco (top), Kramer (middle), Mosquito Hawk (bottom) and Mahnhammer (right). By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

It’s taken 20 years, but Music and Art in Wright Park is finally starting to look like a tradition that will last. On Aug. 10, the event will again assemble some of the hottest up-and-coming talent from Tacoma’s burgeoning rock scene, alongside some of the scrappy veterans that built it. That amounts to Mahnhammer, Mosquito Hawk, Blanco Bronco, Girl Trouble, Kramer and more jamming on two rotating stages, from noon to 7 p.m. “My biggest goal is to get people out to the event to see some bands they’ve never heard of,” said local rocker Cody Foster (CFA, Furry Buddies) who organizes MAWP with founder Ken Johnson and a dedicated corps of volunteers. “They may see all these bands and think, ‘Hey, man, I might go out and support these guys.’” It’s one of the summer’s most highly anticipated events for Tacoma music boosters, more than 2,500 of which are expected to turn out, based on last year’s attendance. But despite the event’s obvious appeal, it’s only been able to grow in fits and starts over the years. Johnson founded the event in 1993, when he was still owner of the now-defunct Tacoma rock label and record store Mother Records. That first show is immortalized in the video for Girl Trouble’s Tacoma rock anthem “My Hometown.” The band’s lanky, perpetually shirtless front man, Kurt Kendall, can be seen climbing onto a parked vehicle during a set at Wright Park. The roof visibly buckles under his 6-foot-5 frame. “I remember climbing on the sound guy’s truck, and it popped back, luckily for me,” Kendall recalled

of the incident, captured 20 years ago during the inaugural Music in the Park festival. “(Drummer) Bon (Henderson) and I were just looking at the lineup from that one,” he said. “I forgot some of those bands, like Katie’s Dimples, who were poised to be one of those next big thing bands; and there was Spontaneous Funk Whorehouse.” The effort’s initial run continued through 1997, showcasing Portrait of Poverty, Poppa Wheelie, the Lemons and other local punk favorites. Johnson revived it for three big shows with local promoter Chris Miller and Bennett Thurmon in the summer of 2000. Foster was the catalyst for the current incarnation, which began in 2009; but it, too, hit a snag in 2011, when organizers couldn’t raise the $8,000 to $11,000 the event usually costs to produce. “The general consensus was that everybody missed it,” Foster said. Organizers regrouped, multiplied in number and came up with creative new ways to finance the festival. This year’s event was funded by a series of benefit shows, raffles, yard sales and even a campy “Real Men of Tacoma” calendar, featuring local rockers in comical, sexy poses. (Imagine Playgirl, but with lots of tats, hairy backs and pot bellies.) “It’s easier this year,” said Foster. “There’s been a lot of support because people are saying, ‘That one year it didn’t happen, we really missed it.’” After bouncing back in 2012, organizers have put an emphasis on expanding the festival’s focus to include a wider variety of rock bands and more visual art. “Something we really talked about in our meetings is how can we really, really incorporate rock besides just having people come and sell stuff,” said organizer Jayme Fisher. “That happens at five or six festivals a year. But I think having the artists here and having

people watching them create live is going to be a great focal point.” Among the visual artists creating material live are graffiti artist Booger Red (which we presume is not his birth name) and painter Julie Luke. “I adore music in all forms, and music is a key component to my creative process,” Luke said. “So I feel it will only enhance the experience. I look forward to it.” Among the bands generating a big buzz on the musical end of the spectrum are Tacoma art-rock band Not From Brooklyn. “Not From Brooklyn is one of the biggest bands in Tacoma right now,” Fisher said. “The have a huge fan base, and people are really, really excited to see them. Also, the Purrs (from Seattle) are getting huge. And Blanco Bronco is putting out their vinyl.” Blanco Bronco’s new record is called “Pronto,” and 300 limited edition copies with swirling, colored vinyl and one-of-a-kind designs by renowned Seattle artist Art Chantry will be available next weekend. “They’re all very unique and individualized, so we’re pretty excited,” Blanco drummer John Ledington said. “We still haven’t decided on the record release, but it’ll be available at MAWP.” Old-school scenesters will also be thrilled to learn of a partial reunion of My Name, among one of the most popular Tacoma punk bands of the early ‘90s. The band Gold Records includes guitarist Fred Speakman, and that band will be joined by singer Abe Brennan to play a couple of songs from My Name’s 1996 swan song, “Rocks for Jocks.” Other bands on the bill include Wheelies, Ranchero, Furry Buddies, Big Wheel Stunt Show and Deathbed Confessions. Set times are a closely guarded secret among MAWP organizers up until the day of the show.

SUMMERTIME,

AND THE READING IS EASY…

AN EXPLORATION OF TACOMA’S LOCAL BOOKSTORES By Sean Contris Special Correspondent

T

ruth be told, I was never much of a reader when I was a kid. I never had the patience for the stuff. My poor parents tried time and time again to cram my head into a book as a desperate plea to pull my attention from whatever video game I was involved in at the time, and of course, these attempts of my parents always went unrewarded. Perhaps it was that nothing had caught my eye. I spent whatever amount of time I had with a book focusing on fantasy novels after discovering an early love for Harry Potter and Walter Moore’s “The 13 and a Half Lives of Captain Bluebear.” But with age comes wisdom and eventually, thanks to a lovely freshmen English teacher, my love of literature was awakened with a single reading of “The Catcher in The Rye.” With a sudden interest in reading came an odd obsession for collection. I simply needed books, the more the merrier. Even if my room became a massive overflowing library

that could hardly be considered habitable, I didn’t care. I had a desire to collect and read as much as I could. I took a strong interest in classics, and with several lists in my hand, and several recommendations in mind, I took a flying leap into book shopping and began to traverse the rocky terrain of bookstores around the area. I never enjoyed Kindles too much, and reading anything on a screen seems unusual to me. The large chain bookstores such as Barnes & Noble and the now deceased Borders were too expensive for my paycheck of zero dollars and zero cents from my non-existent jobs. So what does that leave for a cheap, jobless, high school student such as me to do? As it turns out, the answer led me to some of the most interesting places around: the local bookstores of Tacoma. With summer comes a desire to read, and with a sense of lovely relaxation comes a desire for knowledge and adventure. The perfect time for a good book, I think, is in the dead of winter or the heat of the summer, preferably sitting on a beach or surrounded by trees. Therefore, without further ado, here are my favorite bookstores of Tacoma, and some titles that the owners of each would recommend to the typical summer reader.

CULPEPPER’S BOOKS

L

ocated on Proctor not far from Mason Middle School and hidden between Umpqua bank and the Italian restaurant Europa Bistro sits Culpepper’s books, a small but brilliant monument to the love of the printed word. Now, I love Culpepper’s. In fact, it may seem biased to even write about it, as it has become such a beloved location for me. The atmosphere in the store is remarkably homey, and is perhaps one of the most well organized bookstores in the area. Culpepper’s specializes in rare, used, and out-of-print books and has a healthy selection and styles of literature ranging from contemporary fiction, classics, tomes of historical accounts, books on chess, fishing and painting. Yet the draw of Culpepper’s Books is its owner, veteran book dealer Jerry Culpepper. Culpepper is the kind of guy that, even if you were to try, you could never forget that he bears a stronger resemblance to a character straight out of a novel rather than a person sitting in front of you yakking your ear off. Passionate and impossibly funny, Culpepper gives the store its life and ability to charm, and for the most part I simply enjoy going into the store for his company and the company of his friends, a cast of characters so fascinating and interesting that to describe them would take several articles in and of themselves (here’s to you, Richard Baker). Culpepper has worked as a book vendor for much of his life, starting at the age of 19 under the wing of Mrs. Fox at Foxes Books. Though he moved around and worked other jobs, he continued to have a passion for selling books and would return to Mrs. Fox for work from time to time. It was in 2001 that Culpepper decided to settle down and open his own bookstore with wife and co-owner Michelle. With an eccentric personality, Culpepper has taken a cue from the books he sells and has developed an uncanny ability to tell a brilliant story, and for the most part has a gift for gab. Yet these stories are extraordinary to hear, be it stories from his life or of

his times and adventures as a bookseller. These are tales that will eat up hours of your time and will leave a vivid image permanently imprinted on your mind. Perhaps dodging any bullets or anger from other book dealers in the area, I feel that saying Culpepper is the most educated and opinionated book salesman in the area isn’t much of a stretch. Simply put, if you ever want to discuss a novel, an author, or a piece of history, none are more fantastic to speak to than Jerry Culpepper.

He has a set of novels that his customers have dubbed “Culpepper Classics” that he considers his favorites; and ones that he thinks everyone and their mother should read. Included are: “How Green Was My Valley” by Richard Llelwyn “She” by H. Rider Hagard “Blue Nile/White Nile” by Ellen Morehoud “Lonesome Dove” by Larry McMurtry “Sailing Alone Around The World” by Joshua Slocum

TACOMA BOOK CENTER

P

TACOMA BOOK CENTER. Owned by Larry Jezek (pictured here) and David Killian, Tacoma Book Center has seen nothing but growth since it opened, and even needed an expansion and got one with the purchase of a building they now use as warehouse space to hold its massive amount of books.

erhaps the biggest of the bookstores around Tacoma is deservingly entitled Tacoma Book Center, and it exists in an interesting part of town just within walking distance of both Tacoma Dome and Freighthouse Square. The majority of my books are purchased there, and the stock of literature, both fiction and nonfiction, on display is staggering. On some days, a sign that advertises the store boasts that there are over half a million books in the store, but this seems like a drastic understatement, as the store seems to go on for miles with every inch covered in books. Although the books are less valuable than those on display at Culpepper’s, the size and scale of Tacoma Book Center is immense. Through frequent visitations to the store, friends and I have nicknamed the store “Bunker Books” as it seems to resemble a bunker that could be utilized in the event of a world war. Nearly every genre of book sits calmly waiting in this store’s many rooms and hallways. Books range from fiction to nonfiction, to philosophy, to manga, to the classics, to the arts and, interestingly, even a collection of highly coveted and frequently stolen books that sit just behind the counter. Tacoma Book Center is run by a collection of people who seem to be at their friendliest at all times. Each is willing and able to give his/her opinions and in the friendliest manner possible. Like other stores, the prices that Tacoma Book Center offers are fair and reasonable. On top of this, the store gives a wonderfully fair deal on trades and great cash for book exchange.

Tacoma Book Center opened in 1984 near the Frank Russell Building. The store experienced a consistent level of growth and relocated in 1989 to where it sits now. Owned by Larry Jezek and David Killian, Tacoma Book Center has seen nothing but growth since it opened, and even needed an expansion and got one with the purchase of a building they now use as warehouse space to hold its massive amount of books. Tacoma Book Center is also one of Tacoma’s oldest bookstores, giving it a sort of vintage feeling that creates a fantastic atmosphere to wander in for hours. Books recommended for the summer: Larry Jezek (owner): “The Passage” by Justin Cronin “Night Dogs” by Kent Anderson “11/22/63” by Stephen King Marie Paxton (employee): “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel “Half Broke Horses” by Jeannette Walls “Mists of Avalon” by Marion Zimmer Bradley Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris

PARK AVENUE BOOKS

O

f all the bookstores highlighted in this article, Park Avenue Books is likely the one you have heard the least about. Clear across town, Park Avenue Books sits in the Fern Hill district in South Tacoma. Quiet and unassuming longtime book dealer and former owner of Linda’s Books, Linda Howell, runs it. She refers to herself as a book lady and claims that the bookstore is an accomplishment of a childhood dream of owning a massive library. “I used to go to this great library when I was a girl and I just used to think, you know, I would like to own one of these great big libraries someday,” she said, before adding with a smile, “of course I can’t do that really so I think this is the next best thing for me.” Park Avenue is overwhelmingly crowded with books, and to many this may prove difficult to navigate, but this place is a sanctuary for people who simply love books at an extraordinarily reasonable price. Park Avenue specializes in trade paperbacks, with a good chunk of the store’s stock being made up of romance novels, mysteries, selfhelp books and Christian fiction novels. Howell’s statement about the business is simply: “Put books in the hands of people who want to read them for a reasonable price,” and she has been doing so for a number of years.

PARK AVENUE BOOKS. Park Avenue Books sits in the Fern Hill district in South Tacoma. Quiet

and unassuming longtime book dealer and former owner of Linda’s Books, Linda Howell (right), runs it.

Starting as a book dealer with her first store aptly titled Linda’s Books, she met Diana Brown, owner of Boomerang Books, and the two decided to go into business together after creating a foundation of friendship. Howell and Brown founded Park Avenue Books after agreeing that they both needed bigger stores. After Brown passed away in 2011, Howell became the sole owner of the store and is assisted in running it by a number of close friends. Howell is characterized by an incredibly sweet and kind disposition, greeting each customer with a warm smile

and an almost nostalgic tone of voice that brings to mind the warmth of a motherly figure. Though Howell was hesitant to give any personal favorites as recommendations, she was more than willing to suggest a few for the summer reader including classics such as: “Moby-Dick” by Herman Melville “The Scarlett Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne “The Pearl” by John Steinbeck Linda strongly recommends the author Jillian Hart.

KING’S BOOKS

K

ing’s Books is perhaps Tacoma’s most well-known local bookstore. King’s is the one you hear about all the time, the place that cool girl who drinks too much coffee and reads feminist novels says she is going when she heads off to her book club. King’s Books is currently in the midst of its 13th year of business, and though it doesn’t look strikingly different from an average bookstore, it is held afloat by its numerous community nights, events and book clubs. King’s can largely be described as a meeting place for the book-loving population of Tacoma. Its large, airy, and at times silent atmosphere leads to a sense of ease in the bookstore, with its long bare hallways that lead into a massive meeting spot in the back of the store. It might feel overwhelming at first sight, but one quickly realizes this space gives access to large community events. King’s, like the other local bookstores, specializes in a large selection of used and traded-in books that can be sold at a cheaper and affordable price. However, King’s is also an advocate for bringing in newly published books and selling them for a cheaper price as well. As stated above, King’s is primarily a communityrun bookstore. Though King’s is under the ownership of a single owner by the name of Sweet Pea Flaherty, it’s the local community that pulls together the events that mark King’s Books as a landmark of the city. Though any sort of large-scale events or happenings have died down for the summer, the bookstore always makes time for its numerous book clubs. King’s book clubs are typically centered on a key theme or idea that every member either is a part of, or believes strongly

RAT ROD TIME. It will be a rat-rodders paradise on Aug. 11 when Tacoma’s first-ever Rat-Rod-O’Rama takes place at Griot’s Garage. The event will

attract car club hobbyists from near and far, like these members and friends of Tacoma’s own Demonos, the Rat Bastards from Gold Bar (led by Marcia and Ron Foreman, back row, fifth and eighth from left) and the Rodettes who visited the Tacoma Weekly offices last week.

RAT-ROD-O’RAMA SET TO ROLL INTO GRIOT’S By Matt Nagle

T

here’s a brand new car show coming to town, one that will appeal greatly to those who miss Hot Roda-Rama that used to take place at The Swiss. It’s called Rat-Rod-O’Rama, and it will be held on Sunday, Aug. 11, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Griot’s Car Care Center at 3333 S. 38th St. While the focus of this event is on rat rods and those who love them, Rat-Rod-O’Rama is open to all types of traditional hot rods, early customs, vintage cars and special interest vehicles. This is a family-friendly event and admission to the general public is free. The registration fee for vehicles is just $15. Every registrant will receive a DVD of a fulllength feature film from the 1950s – “The Wild One” or “Hot Rod Girl” – and an event dash plaque while supplies last. Jazzy’s Café (3701 S. Lawrence St.) will be the official food vendor at Rat-Rod-ORama, so it will be worth saving your appetite for a taste of what Jazzy’s has to offer. There will also be raffles and door prizes, a swap meet for automotive goods, and a Dyno machine on the premises courtesy of Pull This Mobile Dyno Service (which can be reached at 425-422-0381). Many awards will be handed out, 26 in all, and DJ Walt Kaplin will spin music from the ‘50s and ‘60s (he’ll

take requests, too). The atmosphere at this event will be fun, festive and friendly – and will offer a chance to meet some of the movers and shakers who are working to preserve this important part of American history and culture. A lifelong car enthusiast and hobbyist, Kaplin is the organizer and producer of Rat-Rod-O’Rama. Well known in car show circles, he has brought together other car events in Tacoma, including 2011’s historic 60th anniversary reunion at Griot’s of those who used to cruise Busch’s Drive-In back in the ’50s, a milestone event that recalled Tacoma’s golden era as the car cruising capital of the Northwest. (Read the full article at www. tacomaweekly.com/citylife/view/celebrate_ the_fabulous_50s_at_buschs_60th_anniversary_reunion.) Kaplin seeks to help keep alive this vibrant car culture by encouraging young people to enjoy it too, hence his new event Rat-Rod-O’Rama. “This is one way to get into the hobby, and it’s a wonderful way of doing it,” Kaplin said. “The future of the hobby lies with our young people. If it’s going to continue on to the extent it was back when I was young, you obviously need the diversity.” He said that while young people often can’t afford to own the tricked-out, meticulously maintained (i.e. expensive) classic cars, they could afford to work on their own

rat rods, as the unfinished, and oftentimes “rough,” look of these rods is part of their charm. “The hobby is good. It’s good for everybody,” Kaplin said, noting that it’s also good for Tacoma, as big car enthusiast gatherings like Rat-Rod-O’Rama bring in hundreds of people to town, including hobbyists from east of the mountains. In Gold Bar, the Rat Bastards Car Club is leading the rat rod pack in the Northwest. Founded in 2002 by Ron and Marcia Foreman, this non-profit organization treasures the 1969-and-older traditional hot rods and cool customs. The club embraces the rougharound-the-edges, real steel and iron “old skool” street rods. “It’s fun, I enjoy doing it and I want to see it continue, and I want to see more young people get into it,” Marcia Foreman said. “Younger kids are starting to get into it, which is just awesome.” The Rat Bastards have about 45 members, sometimes up to 75, and dues are $25 a year. You have to build your own car to be in the club, and there are many events the club participates in where members can show off their pride-and-joy. The club’s own car show for pre-1969 models, Infestation, happens Sept. 1, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Triple X Root Beer Drive-In in Issaquah, 98 N.E. Gilman Blvd. For information, call (253) 623-7515 or (425) 770-4550. Look up the Rat Bastards

Local Restaurants Sarah’s Burger Shack now open in Auburn After running several other local hamburger joints throughout Western Washington, the Hong family was looking for a change. With their latest venture, Sarah’s Burger Shack, the family is able to offer some of the best burgers around, along with a diverse menu featuring options that will appeal to even the pickiest eaters. Located at 33032 Auburn Way S. in Auburn, Sarah’s Burger Shack is well worth the drive – especially to experience the restaurant’s signature California Burger, a bacon cheeseburger complete with onion rings and avocado (around $4, or about $6 for a double). Sarah’s Burger Shack also offers milkshakes, chicken strips, kids meals, hot dogs and even steak and potatoes. With ample seating inside, along with a drive-through, the restaurant is ready to meet the needs of busy diners, or those looking to relax with a good meal. At the moment, the Hong family is running the show, with owner Gregory Hong taking charge in the kitchen while his two sons and wife help give customers a truly memorable experience. The restaurant’s hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, call (253) 887-7655.

on Facebook to keep up with all they’ve got going on. And don’t let their name fool you – the Rat Bastards are a very warm and welcoming, down-to-earth group of family oriented people who simply love to work on, drive and talk about hot rods and classic cars – it’s in their blood. Plus, they bring slow drags and rockabilly music culture into the mix, and the gorgeous Pin-Up Angels who raise money to send care packages to soldiers overseas. Their founder, Miss Kitty Baby, will emcee Infestation. “They are a wonderful group to be around,” Kaplin said of the Rat Bastards. “They’re fun and from all walks of life. More importantly, they’re part of something that’s good for the country.” Expect to see additional car clubs represented at Rat-Rod-O’Rama, like the Demonos (founded in 1957 at Lincoln High School) and the women-only club The Rodettes, which just formed two years ago. For further information on Rat-RodO’Rama, call Kaplin at (253) 858-8739 or Griot’s at (253) 922-2200. And keep an eye on Tacoma Weekly for further developments in some big news Kaplin recently shared: plans are in the works for the first-ever Rat Rod Northwest Nationals in Pierce County – date, location and details to be announced.
