acoma’s 4th of July extravaganza will be back to thrill the masses again this year. The volunteers who are part of the non-profit organization that presents the annual Freedom Fair, its air show and fireworks over Commencement Bay, will not be stopped. They are not letting slow-to-materialize sponsorships and donations prevent the aircraft and fireworks from flying

high into the sky.

“It is a decades-old tradition for thousands of people to stroll along the Ruston Way Waterfront among 200 options that create two miles of smiles on Independence Day,” said Gary Grape, who has been an organizer of this event for more than 15 years. “They enjoy stopping at the restaurants, food and beverage booths, beer gardens, arts and crafts vendors, car show, pole vault event, kids’ fun zone, commercial

exhibits, and six live entertainment areas that complement the air show and fireworks. It’s the wide variety of entertainment options and the beautiful setting that helped get the Tacoma Freedom Fair named one of the 10 “World’s Best” fireworks events by the Travel Channel.”

Once again it’s that time of year for the Tacoma Freedom Fair’s 4th of July Air Show. For decades an annual aerial ballet has played out u See FAIR / page A11

ALL HAIL FESTIVAL OF SAIL

Renovations of Pierce County’s Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant have increased sewer capacity that should keep up with the county’s population growth until 2040. The project was the largest capital improvement project in Pierce County history.

The $342 million project lasted four years and increased the plant’s capacity by 15 million gallons a day, to 44 million gallons per day, and nearly doubled the plant’s footprint from 49 acres to 89 acres. The Pierce County sewer system collects wastewater from a 117-square-mile area with a population of 294,000 people in University Place, Lakewood, DuPont, Steilacoom and a portion of Tacoma.

It also serves the unincorporated communities of Parkland, Spanaway, Midland, South Hill and Frederickson.

“Our treatment plant is vitally important to future economic growth throughout Pierce County,” said Pierce County Executive Bruce Dammeier. “Well maintained infrastructure supports our communities and ensures our ability to live, work and play.” u See WASTEWATER / page A11

Thea Foss Waterway was buzzing with activity all weekend, June 15-18, as people from far and near came to see the world’s largest rubber ducky and all the tall ships that floated majestically on the water.

With the festival centered on the waterways of Tacoma, those opposed to the liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant slated for the Tideflats took the opportunity to make their voices heard about the need to protect clean water and our area’s natural beauty. See more photos in City Life, pg. B2.

Jacquelyn Carson can be proud of her daughter Jayelle, a kindergartener at Discovery Primary School.

She had asked Jayelle a few months ago about ideas for her sixth birthday. Carson expected a party with her friends that would likely include a bouncy house or a few rounds of bowling. Nope, not for Jayelle.

After a day or so of thinking and pondering and reflecting, she said she wanted to get her friends together to spend an afternoon making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to then hand out at the homeless encampment known as the u See DISCOVERY / page A11 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/tacomaweekly TWITTER: @TacomaWeekly

Pothole of the Week

PIERCE COUNTY DEPUTIES SEARCH FOR CONVICTED CHILD PREDATOR

By David Rose Washington’s Most Wanted - Q13 Fox

A convicted child predator is wanted in Pierce County. David Thomas is a level 3 sex offender – the worst of the worst DAVID ROSE and highest risk to reoffend. He’s failing to register as a sex offender, a crime that’s not new to him one bit.

“Our suspect has been convicted of not registering before, so he knows better,” said Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer. “In this particular case we have two different convictions. One where the victim was 11 and one where the victim was 14 years old, while he was an adult, so this is somebody who should

61ST AND A STREET After so long, we have to assume that Percival our beloved Pothole Pig has simply vanished. However, there are still potholes in the city that need attention, so we simply – and sadly – must hire someone to handle his workload.

We decided to give the candidates a trial run to see how they do in the field.

This week Carter the Crater Gator gave it another shot by finding a crater that would make Percival proud. But frankly, Carter might just not have the celebrity power to take on such a high-profile role.

What are your thoughts? We have other candidates in the works that we might try out: Charles the Chuckhole Chicken and Blighty the Blight-Seeking Beaver, but several people voiced their opinion that a permanent replacement should be one of Percival’s relatives, namely Peyton, who lives in Portland, and Perry, who lives in Parkland. And now a new candidate has entered the running with a resume from Ruddy the Road Rut Reindeer, who is a brother-inlaw of Tacoma Rainiers mascot Rhubarb.

not be around children, especially unsupervised, so we want to know where he’s at, what he’s doing

and hold him accountable. He also failed to participate in sex offender treatment.”

He’s been busted for failing to register as a sex offender four times. This will be his fifth once he’s caught and convicted.

Thomas is Native American and goes by the nicknames “Boo Coo,” “Long Water” and “Two Moons.”

He’s 44 years old, 5-feet, 9-inches tall and weighs 250 pounds. He’s inked with a ton of tattoos, including two horses on his neck with a woman’s eyes below them.

If you know where deputies can find this high-risk child predator, Call Crime Stoppers of TacomaPierce County at 1 (800) -222TIPS. It is anonymous and there is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest.

LAKEWOOD MAN CHARGED WITH 2015 COLD CASE MURDER The Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office charged David Gallegos, 30, on June 15 with murder in the second degree for the stabbing death of Danny Guerin, 36. Gallegos stabbed Guerin multiple times for no apparent reason as Guerin sat in his car in a Lakewood park.

“Citizens solved this murder mystery,” said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist. “Kudos for those who came forward for the good of our community” On Aug. 27, 2015, at approximately 10:44 p.m., officers responded to a parking lot next to the Seeley Lake Park in Lakewood for a possible homicide. A civilian had called 911 to report that he had been driving through the lot when he came upon a male lying on the ground who appeared to have been stabbed and killed. Officers found the victim, later identified as Guerin, on the ground next to his truck.

An extensive investigation produced no real leads and the case went cold. No one with a motive to kill Guerin was identified.

Early this month, an individual, B., contacted law

enforcement to report that his friend, Gallegos, had confessed to committing the murder. B. and a second friend of the defendant, S., were interviewed by detectives. S. reported that he had been driving with the defendant when Gallegos suddenly stated that he wanted to tell S. something he had never told anyone. Gallegos stated that he had done “some bad stuff at the Seeley Park” about two years earlier. He explained that he was sitting in some bushes on a bad high when he saw a car pull into the lot. He was hearing voices in his head and thought the driver was following him so he ran up on the driver and began stabbing him. He said the driver had no chance.

On Tuesday, S. agreed to work with police and record a conversation with Gallegos. Gallegos admitted his role in the stabbing and was arrested on June 14.

If convicted Gallegos faces nearly 25 years in prison.

Bail is set at $1,000,000.

Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Tacoma Nature Center offers a rotating series of weekly walks Saturdays at seven different parks. At Point Defiance Park, guided walks now take place monthly and will be conducted weekly in the summer. All are free and last about an hour.

While many of us are comfortable and familiar with manicured Metro Parks landscapes, fewer enjoy the option of hiking along the unpaved trails that wander through the woods and around waterways. Guided nature

walks offer an introduction to some of those lesserknown spots and at the same time highlight the efforts of volunteer habitat stewards who are essential to their maintenance.

Brianna Charbonnel, Tacoma Nature Center education program coordinator and certified interpretive guide, leads many of the walks and has been doing so for about five years. She tries to tailor each outing to the interests of participants, often including both toddlers and senior citizens. Some walkers carry children in backpacks or infants in carriers. “We rarely walk more than a mile in an hour,” she said.

In spring, chatter typically focuses on rebirth: the bright new greens, the flowers, breeding and babies. At Wapato Park, Charbonnel may point out red wing blackbirds courting near the cattails, where nests are hidden from view. It’s not uncommon to observe turtles basking on floating logs or mother ducks rounding up what seems like legions of ducklings at various park sites.

A walk through Oak Tree Park takes visitors through a dense stand of Washington’s only native oak tree: the Garry oak, also called Oregon white oak, and known by the scientific name Quercus garryana. Also seen at this South End park in spring are trillium flowers, plus native prairie species such as blue camas and chocolate and fawn lilies.

It’s best to wear sturdy walking shoes regardless of the hike, but secure footing is especially important when negotiating steep trails, such as those in McKinley Park and Wapato Hills.

Expect to hear a bit of history when visiting McKinley Park, one of the city’s oldest. Over the past decade, its volunteer stewards, the Friends of McKinley Park, have removed the English ivy, Himalayan blackberries and other invasive plants that once cloaked the hillside and turned it into a point of neighborhood pride.

A walk at Wapato Hills takes visitors back in geologic time. The hill is a drumlin, a remnant of the ice age, a pile of dirt and debris left behind by a retreating glacier.

On top, there’s also a wetland – a seasonal marsh – with recently constructed boardwalks that improve access.

At Point Defiance Park, Park Ranger Mary Krauszer gathers with walkers monthly at the rhododendron garden and takes off into the forest from there. Expect encounters with all kinds of low-growing native plants, such as ferns, salal and Oregon grape, in the shadow of massive old-growth firs.

Family Nature Walks take place rain or shine, so be sure to dress appropriately. Because of the terrain, the walks are not recommended for wheelchairs, strollers or children under 3.

PUYALLUP TRIBAL COUNCIL WELCOMES ONE INCUMBENT, ONE NEW MEMBER

It was standing room only in the Puyallup Tribal Council Chambers on June 15 as tribal community members gathered for the official swearing in of two council candidates who came out winners of the 2017 election – Tim Reynon and James “Jim Jim” Rideout.

With the scent of burning sage perfuming the air, the Tribe’s Culture Director Connie McCloud stepped forth to offer a blessing to get things started. Then Council Chairman Bill Sterud addressed the crowd, making a point to acknowledge and thank those candidates who didn’t win a seat at Council this election round but still put themselves out there to offer themselves to their tribe.

“I’d like to thank the other candidates that were part of this,” he said. “It’s hard to put your heart and soul, your dreams, your reputation out to the world, and I want to thank them for being part of this process.”

The chairman also spoke highly and warmly of Marguerite “Maggie” Edwards, whose run for re-election didn’t result in her winning, but still continued her commitment to want to serve her tribe as she has done for decades.

“I want to thank Maggie (Marguerite Edwards) for her many years of service as we move into this new future. I feel really good about it,” Sterud said.

Councilmember Tim Reynon also spoke good words

about her. “I want to acknowledge Maggie and her many years of service. She has done a lot of good for our tribe.

When you see her, embrace her and thank her for all that she has done.”

When it came time for the swearing in, Reynon and Rideout took the oath of office: “I do hereby solemnly swear or affirm that I shall preserve, support and protect the constitution of the United States and the constitution and bylaws of the Puyallup Tribe to the best of my ability so help me God.” Then both were invited to share a few words. As an incumbent having served for the past three years, Reynon spoke first, thanking the elders and ancestors who gave everything to their tribal community.

“We got here on the backs of legends, people who have gone before us. I’m just so grateful for them and all of our elders and the outpouring of support that we felt throughout the campaign and the past three years,” he said. “Serving in these positions, you don’t always know whether your service is acceptable to the tribal community, but you folks came out in record numbers and you said we accept your service and we appreciate your work. For that I say thank you. I am just so humbled by that support.”

He gave a call for unity, and looked with excitement to what’s ahead for the Puyallup Tribe.

“Now that the election is over it is time for us to move forward. We must come together and work together to continue to do what we said we would do, and that’s

work together to build that brighter future for our tribe and our families and future generations. You folks have the answers that will solve all of our issues, and I look forward to hearing from you and learning from you.”

Rideout, too, expressed much gratitude. “Today is an historical day. But it’s not for me – I want for nothing.

It’s for our people. It’s always been about the people with me. My children know that. My relations know that... and community members know that,” he said. “It’s the highest of honor to stand in this position today. I don’t want to let anybody down and I’m going to give it my absolute best.”

He spoke of his deceased niece Jacqueline Salyers, a young Puyallup tribal member and mother of four who was shot down – while pregnant – by Tacoma police in early 2016. He was especially honored to have two of her children there from South Dakota to take part in the swearing in.

“It’s a very tough day to know that we lost one of our own. I had to reach to my dad and ask him what would you do? How would you fight? It came to me – go to the people. You all came together and I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Rideout said. “Jacqueline’s life mattered. She will transform this tribe with all the love of my family right back to you. Just like I gave to the kids and the kids give back to me, let’s keep on giving to one another. Let’s change how we speak and how we react with one another. Let’s embrace that love and unity.”

NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING ASSOCIATION CHOOSES DAVID BEAN AS VICE CHAIRMAN

By Matt Nagle matt@tacomaweekly.com

Puyallup Tribal Council member David Bean was sworn in on June 20 as vice chairman of the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA). He will serve out the rest of the one-year term of the former vice chairman then be up for full re-election at NIGA’s next national conference.

Nominated by NIGA at-large board member and Spokane Tribal Council member Greg Abrahamson, the vote among the NIGA board for Bean was unanimous.

“I am almost without words,” Bean said in appreciation. “It was a surprise and is an incredible honor to be recognized in this way by the NIGA board.”

Composed of tribal leaders from around the U.S., NIGA is an inter-tribal association of 184 federally recognized Indian tribes. Their mission is to protect and preserve tribal sovereignty and the ability of tribes to attain economic selfsufficiency through gaming and other forms of economic development. NIGA operates as an educational, legislative and public policy resource for tribal policy makers as well as the public on issues related to Indian gaming and tribal community development. Located on Capitol Hill and working directly with federal agencies, members of Congress and the Trump administration, NIGA works to ensure that the special status of tribes is recognized and protected when issues affecting tribal sovereignty arise.

Bean has been a NIGA board member since 2009. He then became the gaming co-chair for the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, which automatically made him the Northwest delegate for NIGA.

was sworn in by NIGA Chairman Ernie Stevens Jr. (left) with others in attendance including (back row from left) Washington Indian Gaming Association Chairman Ron Allen, NIGA Secretary Paulette Jordan, NIGA Treasurer Andy Ebona and Suquamish Tribe Chief Legal Counsel Ryan Ramirez. There to celebrate the moment with Bean were his fellow tribal members Nancy Shippentower (to his right) and Emerald Queen Casino manager Frank Wright (behind him).

He said his new role as vice chairman will let him continue promoting everything positive and opposing anything negative for Indian Country. “Because casinos are a big part of tribes’ economic development, we need to be on the front lines of anything impacting that positively or negatively,” he said.

Bean said that when his current term is up and it comes time for re-election, he

will turn to his elders.

“For me traditionally, I would seek permission from my elders to run for that position. I’m happy to fill the role in the interim but going forward I would be talking to my elders in the community to do this full position.”

Bean emphasized that it would be impossible for him to do this work alone, expressing much gratitude for the team

effort comprised of the Puyallup Tribal Council, the hardworking staff at the Tribe, and the lawyers and lobbyists in Washington, D.C. that work on behalf of the Puyallups.

“It’s important to note that this would not be possible without the full support of the Puyallup Tribal Council, the community and my family,” he said. “Our tribal council sets the legislative priorities and they have confidence in me to carry out those priorities on behalf of the tribe when it comes to members of congress and the administration.

“I’m just going to continue keeping my sleeves rolled up and working for the Puyallup Tribe and Indian Country. I feel incredibly blessed to have this honor bestowed on me by council and community.”

Idaho House Rep. Paulette Jordan is NIGA Secretary. She said Bean was nominated unanimously by the board of prominent NIGA leaders for a reason.

“Councilman Bean is the most exceptional leader I’ve had the privilege of working with. Whether it’s working with our U.S. President or local city officials, he is fighting for security and protection of the people. His passion for his people continues to inspire me and now having been sworn in as vice chair of the NIGA, he will serve all of Indian Country with even greater capacity,” she said.

“There is no one more suited to take on this role for our association that comprises the level of responsibility, ability to communicate and build support for our policies that protect our greatest interests than Councilman David Z. Bean. I count myself fortunate to work alongside him on the Hill and wherever else may be, to ensure that our future continues to grow and prosper as our ancestors had dreamed.”

STOP LNG NOW!

KEEP TACOMA BEAUTIFUL

Once upon a time, Tacoma had an ugly reputation for being a dirty city – even giving off its own smell that became notorious as “the aroma of Tacoma.” Adding to this, tourist traffic was low, crime was high and it seemed that Tacoma didn’t matter because Seattle was just a short drive away. This all changed in recent years, as Tacoma has made a stunning comeback and is now one of the most beautiful and livable cities on the West Coast. Tacoma is back on the map and no one wants to return to those dark and dreary days.

ways and the potential for gas truck accidents in our neighborhoods or at the plant. Moreover, we would face potential risks to our health, the environment and our wallets for something PSE has yet to prove utility customers need.

THE HISTORIC DANGERS OF LNG

The construction of an LNG plant would require a large capacity natural gas pipeline to be constructed through the heart of the city of Fife, another booming city that lies right on the Interstate 5 corridor through Pierce County. This should deeply concern local residents considering historic on-site accidents that have occurred involving or related to LNG: r On Oct. 20, 1944 in Cleveland, 128 people died when an East Ohio Natural Gas Company’s LNG tank ruptured and exploded. LNG spilled into the city’s sewer system, vaporized and turned into a gas, which exploded and burned. r On Oct. 6, 1979 in Lusby, MD a pump seal failed at the Cove Point LNG facility, which released natural gas vapors that settled into an electrical conduit. The gas vapors ignited when a worker switched off a circuit breaker, causing an explosion that killed one worker and severely injured another.

The extinction of salmon throughout Puget Sound is upon us.

PUYALLUP TRIBE: “NO LNG!”

Among the most ardent Tacoma boosters is the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, which has been a forward thinking and financially generous leader in keeping Tacoma beautiful. The Tribe’s active protection of this area’s pristine waters, the salmon and all natural resources has benefitted the entire region. The Tribe vigorously opposes the prospect of an LNG plant being sited in the metropolitan Tacoma area. Not only would the plant be placed right on the Tribe’s reservation, it would mar Tacoma’s great scenic beauty, put natural resources at risk and endanger the lives of everyone who lives and works here in the event of a catastrophic LNG accident.

A PLANT WITHOUT A CUSTOMER

r On Jan. 19, 2004 an explosion at Sonatrach LNG facility in Skikda, Algeria killed 27 people and injured 56. Three LNG trains were also destroyed. The massive hydrocarbon gas explosion was ignited when a steam boiler that was part of an LNG liquefaction train exploded near a propane and ethane refrigeration storage site. A report from a U.S. government inspection team cited that a leak of hydrocarbons from the liquefaction process initiated the domino effect of explosions. r On April 7, 2014 a “processing vessel” at a Williams Co. Inc. facility near the small town of Plymouth, Wash., exploded, spraying chunks of shrapnel as heavy as 250 pounds as far as 300 yards.

The flying debris pierced the double walls of a 134-foot LNG tank on site, causing leaks. Five workers were injured, and local responders warned that vapors from the leaks could trigger a more devastating, second explosion. A county fire department spokesman said authorities were concerned a second blast could level a 0.75 mile “lethal zone” around the plant.

Puget Sound Energy is in the final permitting stages of the proposed LNG plant even though at this point PSE lacks any customers for LNG. The proposal started after the private utility company landed a contract with Totem Ocean Trailer Express (TOTE) to provide ships with cleanerburning LNG rather than diesel, but TOTE has since put those plans on hold, announcing in a news release that the company does not have an exact date for when it will retrofit its ships to use LNG. In other words, PSE wants to build a plant without a customer.

LNG PUTS AREA RESIDENTS IN JEOPARDY

Also among its plans, PSE wants to form a for-profit subsidiary to handle the commercial sales of LNG to TOTE and other yet-to-be-determined customers while also storing the LNG for its utility customers to use during extreme weather conditions. Transporting LNG for local ratepayers presents the threat, and the inherent risks, of tanker trucks on our road-

A catastrophic LNG explosion could ignite the entire Port of Tacoma.

DEVELOPER PREPS FOR GROCERY STORE IN FIFE

By Steve Dunkelberger

stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

A full-service grocery store could be coming to Fife sooner rather than later.

Fife City Council has authorized the $1.25 million sale of about four acres of unused city land at the southwest corner of 70th Avenue East and 20th Street East to a developer who has plans for a grocery store on the property.

Jeffrey E. Davis, with Davis Development Services, LLC, has plans for an 11,000-square foot retail store that will sell meat, fresh produce, dairy, frozen foods and other miscellaneous foods and sundries found in standard grocery stores of similar size.

Chain grocery stores are often upward of 45,000-square-feet, while more boutique grocery stores such as Trader Joe’s are often about half the size of their larger siblings, so the offerings at the new location will be more selective than those commonly found in larger locations. But the addition brings grocery offerings to Fife outside of Tahoma Market, which opened in 2013. The next closest grocery stores are the Fred Meyer on River Road and the Milton Alberson’s, which reopened in late 2016 after

it had been closed for a year when it was bought by Haggen’s, which later went bankrupt.

The Davis project will be a development of two commercial buildings at the location. One building will be a retail complex of 20,200 square feet, with about half of the space dedicated to the grocery store and other associated retail uses. It is a two-story, concrete “tilt-up” commercial building fronting 20th Avenue East. Current concept designs show the second building will consist of a onestory building that will span 48,000 square feet that will be used for production, warehouse, distribution, wholesale and limited retail operations that will face 70th Street East.

The sale is contingent on the company obtaining the proper permits for development and construction by the end of the summer.

Davis is no stranger to Fife.

The company partnered with LBA Realty to develop a 29-acre site in Fife into the $40 million Portside Industrial Center in 2015. That development includes six buildings that total about 500,0000 square feet of commercial space that also include walking paths, benches and a retention pond located at the front of the park.

WOMEN RULE AT BEACH BOUND FITNESS It’s bikini season. Don’t throw a fit. Get fit!

By Tami Jackson

T

For Tacoma Weekly

here are many reasons why women might choose to get their workout from a women’s-only gym boutique. Beyond not wanting to do warm-up stretches in front of a crowd because of concerns with gawking, an allwomen’s gym can simply feel safer. Maybe someone has a history of abuse, or maybe she has personal body issues and doesn’t want to feel judged, or maybe she’s just tired of going to the gym where past experience suggests men have failed to wipe down equipment after they sweated all over the treadmill or weight machines.

Passionate about helping women improve their lives, group fitness instructor and personal trainer Trudy Neill from Beach Bound Fitness knows all these concerns intimately. That’s part of the reason she opened her boutique gym for women where she teaches beginning and advanced weight training, nutrition and flexibility for those who want one-on-one advice with no distractions.

Another reason Neill opened her fitness business is because she walks her own talk. Both she and her husband escape the unpredictable weather here in the Pacific Northwest and they travel abroad every six months. If Neill is not exposing her beach body abs, forearms, biceps and triceps in the Caribbean, she might be basking on a beach in Mexico or Hawaii.

Her lifestyle is why she named her business Beach Bound Fitness and her boutique-size gym has an easygoing, comfortable vibe like a beach hut with woodstyle floors and tropical plants. It also offers all the equipment needed for a complete workout.

Neill earned her personal training certification and her food nutrition specialist credentials from the International Sports Science Association. She worked in retail most of her career but a personal trainer of hers had encouraged her to pursue her own personal trainer

certification and Neill is not looking back.

As of August, Neill will have been running her own studio for a year. Most of her customers have come from face-to-face interaction but Neill said she also does social networking and she posts fliers at local businesses.

One thing’s for sure, there’s a lot less grunting, crashing and general tomfoolery at Beach Bound Fitness than what is observed inside a larger, more commercial gym. Beach Bound Fitness provides small group fitness classes for up to six women and Neill also offers individual training sessions that last 30 minutes. Small group boot camp sessions can last 45 minutes and are high-energy events that

include six workout stations.

Summer Slim is a new exercise program that Neill offers for those who want to tone up their abs, arms, legs and buttocks. Yet she also says that nutrition plays the biggest role in any weight loss and strength training program.

That’s why she offers eating plans to fit individual lifestyles. Her advice might include the Isagenix 30day system, a cleansing and fat burning “starter pack” that includes meal replacement shakes to flush toxins from the body and boost energy.

“I have diet plans that can help someone quickly reach their weight loss goals when combined with twoto three-day workouts,” Neill said.

Neill grew up locally and attended Lakes High School in Lakewood. At Mann Middle School she was an all-around gymnast. After she graduated from Lakes she got into weight lifting and noticed her confidence grow the stronger she became.

“There’s something that feels so good about being able to get strong and be so independent while watching your body change for the better,” she said.

END OF SCHOOL BRINGS SUMMER STRESSES FOR MANY FAMILIES

The bell rang for the final time of the school year this week marking the beginning of summer breaks for thousands of youth and their families.While for some that means family trips, carefree days at splash parks and afternoons flying kites at neighborhood parks, the end of school brings stress and uncertainly for far too many people.

About 60,000 children in Pierce County schools receive free or reduced breakfasts and lunches during the school year, but that stream of nutritious food largely goes away once school ends for the year. That means already cash-strapped families face higher grocery bills on top of any added childcare costs while children aren’t attending school until classes start up again.

Metro Parks Tacoma helps to fill the gap by providing a roster of free playground activities and meal programs at its neighborhood parks. The Tacoma Public Library has free summer reading and learning programs to provide ways to not only offer structured activities for children and teens, but also to battle the “summer slide� in learning. Other organizations and groups do their parts to provide entertaining and educational activities for everyone and expense-saving options for those most in need.

Metro Parks’ summer activity program at six parks around the city runs through Aug. 25 and includes free meals to any child on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at noon. Each day, meals will be provided until 1 p.m. or until supplies run out as well as include staff-led games, sports activities and crafts to keep minds active and engaged during the summer. The locations for summer activities and meals are Franklin Park, Portland Avenue Park, South Park, Verlo Playfield, Wapato Park and Wright Park, while South End Recreation and Adventure and Titlow Park will have meal-only programs.

But we can all do something. Emergency Food Network and food banks, for example, can always use donations of food and household supplies to help families make ends meet. Parents and guardians – or friends of people with children – can share free and low-cost activity ideas. Employers and co-workers can help out by being flexible when it comes to scheduling hours for working parents.

We can all do something to survive the “care-free summer� until school starts in the fall.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, (Re: “Trump’s reckless budget cannot be allowed to become law,� guest editorial by Sen. Maria Cantwell, TW June 2) Thanks to Sen. Maria Cantwell for her guest editorial, bringing us up to date on the pitfalls for Washington in President Trump’s proposed budget.

It is a very comprehensive expose of the many cuts affecting all areas of life in Washington, but I am especially concerned with the cuts to Medicaid.

She made it very clear that so many people – 1.7 million people in Washington – get their health insurance through Medicaid, but also the cuts would endanger programs for children, people with disabilities and veterans.

In addition to this attack on Medicaid is the attempt at this time in the Senate to do a work-over to the American Health Care Act (AHCA), which includes changes to Medicaid coverage. They are trying to pass this without adequate debate or hearings as a replacement for the Affordable Care Act. Senator, please keep working for a budget that will keep not only Washington but the whole nation on a healthy, upward path.

SEARCHING FOR WORDS THAT UNITE US

By Don C. Brunell

Two days before last year’s presidential election, Frank Luntz walked away from a CBS “60 Minutes� focus group leaving people uncontrollably screaming at one another. He couldn’t stop it. Nobody could.

America’s political frustration has boiled far beyond anyone’s ability to listen and find common ground. Our country’s polarization now is to the point where people are shooting one another.

Luntz is the best in the business. He is a pioneer in the field of communications and public opinion research. While at Association of Washington Business (AWB), we hired Luntz to help us find the words, phrases and tones that unified people. His books, especially “Words that work: It’s not what you say, it’s what people hear,� were popular with our members. AWB brought him back for another presentation in May. Luntz underscored his belief that people must carefully choose their words and listen. “I wish our politicians and our business leaders asked the people who follow them to imagine a better future because that would be a direct appeal to a life better than we are living today,� he told AWB. Words, such as imagine, inspire dreams. However, people must put down their bullhorns, stop mean-spirited character attacks, and check their facts before posting statements on the Internet.

As a country, we have reached a tipping point. If the recent shooting at a baseball field just outside of Washington, D.C. isn’t a wakeup call and the juncture where people are willing to set aside their rage and begin listening, we’re really in trouble. It is one thing for members of Congress to read about constituents being shot, but it hits home when it happens to their colleagues.

The ability to express our opinions is a constitutionally guaranteed right and is the foundation of our democracy.

Heated political debate has been around since the beginning

of our nation and sometimes, unfortunately, that rage has been violent. (The example is the Burr–Hamilton pistol duel between the former Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, and sitting Vice President, Aaron Burr, on July 11, 1804 at Weehawken, N.J.).

Even the emotionally charged Watergate incident leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974 was pale in comparison to what is happening today. At the time, I was an aide to a Montana Republican on Capitol Hill. Each morning we would link up with a Maryland Democrat’s staff in the cafeteria to talk, listen and figure out how to resolve issues. There was a commitment to respect, civility and decency that is missing today. We learned from one another.

However, Luntz told AWB: “In fact, it’s like the Wild-Wild West where you can say and do anything because there is no one to hold you accountable.�

People come with a set of eyes and ears and one mouth.

Through the generations, our parents taught us to respectfully listen and research our facts before spouting off. Many parents went a step further telling us to walk a mile in another person’s shoes before passing judgment. Our leaders must dial down the rhetoric and thoughtfully address the issues concerning Americans. We must quit personalizing differences and rationally share ideas on ways to solve problems.

We need to use words that bring us together and get beyond the “quick draw� reactions on Facebook and Twitter that antagonize us. News commentators can help set the tone if they get beyond their obsession to talk over one another even though it may drive up viewer ratings.

Experts, like Frank Luntz, should not be driven off stage.

They are the folks who can bring us together.

NEGOTIATIONS, COMPROMISE NECESSARY TO PASS STATE BUDGET

By Rep. Laurie Jinkins As most of you know, the Legislature is in the middle of a second special session to pass a new two-year budget for our state.

Because control of the Legislature is divided (Republicans hold the Senate, Democrats hold the House), negotiation and compromise are necessary to come +*/,*/4 up with a budget that can pass both chambers.

Unfortunately, time is running out. The current fiscal period ends on June 30, and if a budget agreement isn’t reached by then, state government will shut down. That’s because by law, the state can’t spend money without a budget in place.

A shutdown – even for a few days – would have very real, very harmful consequences for families, communities, and our economy. Nearly every state service would be impacted in some way.

When I’m not working as a legislator, my job is in the public health sector. For the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, a shutdown would be devastating. It would affect critical front-line staff like public health nurses.

Even if we avoid taking the state off this cliff – and I remain hopeful we can avoid it – a lot of agencies, vendors, and employees (and their families) are experiencing stress and uncertainty right now. The ripple effects of this uncer-

tainty are harmful to our state.

The only way a budget passes is if everybody – Democrats and Republicans – shows up at the negotiating table, willing to work. We’ve had two months since the end of the regular session, and although the House Democratic negotiating team has been in Olympia every day and asked the Senate Republicans to sit down, dig in, and negotiate the full budget multiple times, the request has not yet been accepted.

To be clear, I don’t expect either the current House or Senate versions of the budget will pass. I do expect that we will sit down at the negotiating table, compromise, and come to agreement on a budget that provides Washingtonians the services we expect and deserve. And while compromise is necessary, I’m also committed to work 24/7 to ensure the budget represents our state’s values. This means fully funding our K-12 schools without harming the most vulnerable in our communities.

I still believe we can get this done. But the clock is ticking.

If you have concerns or questions about the state budget, or a potential government shutdown, please don’t hesitate to contact me. We’re all in this together.

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 to officially cut the ribbon on the Tribe’s new state-of-the-art Salish Cancer Center (SCC) in the spring of 2015. Joining in on the event were (back row from left): former 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; then 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 who 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 more than $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.”

SALISH CANCER CENTER A place where healing begins On April 7, 2015, the ribbon was officially cut at the grand opening of the Salish Cancer Center (SCC).

Housed in the Puyallup Tribal Integrative Medicine building in Fife, SCC is a non-profit venture of the Puyallup Tribe and is the first tribally-owned cancer center in Indian Country and the United States. This state-of-the art facility combines conventional cancer treatment (chemotherapy) and integrative oncology (naturopathic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Native healers and acupuncture) to create a truly modern oncology practice.

As the indigenous keepers of the Puyallup Tribe Indian Reservation, the Puyallup Tribe has a strong ancestral bond with nature and creation, and this is reflected in the type of care SCC patients receive – focusing on the mind, body, and spirit using lifestyle, nutrition and botanical medicine that blends quite well with modern oncology practices and produces a foundation for providing innovative cancer treatment.

At the ribbon cutting, Washington Governor Jay Inslee praised Tribal Council Chairman Bill Sterud and the entire Tribal Council for making their vision for SCC a reality.

“This is such a delightful day, not just for the Puyallup Nation, but for the state of Washington, because this is a center that is going to embrace health for the entire state of Washington and the Puyallup Nation all at the same time,” he said. “To me, it is a real achievement to

know that the first tribally-owned and operated oncology center in the United States is right here in the Puyallup Nation. This is something for the whole state of Washington to be very proud of.”

The SCC care team is delighted to have medical oncologist Dr. Eiko Klimant on board as medical director, as he joined the team just this year. This spring, Dr. Krisstina Gowin, medical oncologist from Mayo Clinic in Arizona, will also be joining the SCC care team.

“My goal is to create a meaningful experience for the patient and their caregivers, which includes creating conditions and finding therapies to help assure the best possible outcome for each individual patient,” Dr. Klimant said.

Puyallup Tribal Member David Duenas offered up a Sundance song of sacrifice and honor at the Salish Cancer Center ribbon cutting.

Dr. Klimant was most recently the Medical Director of Integrative Oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia. He is board certified in medical oncology and internal medicine, as well as hospice, palliative medicine and integrative medicine. He has extensive clinical experience in the management of pancreatic, breast, lung and brain cancers. Dr. Klimant is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Physicians and the Society for Integrative Oncology. He is fluent in English, German and French.

At SCC, Dr. Klimant works within a multidisciplinary team to provide patient-centered cancer care. “The integrative care model puts the patient at the center. Patients’ needs are addressed on multiple levels, including innovative scientific cancer treatment, spiritual and psychological support, naturopathic medicine and an individualized nutritional program,” he said.

While a cancer diagnosis can be the most frightening thing a person has to face and is often all consuming for patients and their care providers, SCC stands as a mighty protector and healer for those who have been told there is nothing more that can be done.

“It’s a battle against this disease, only now our warriors are our doctors, nurses, lab technicians and people who are in the health profession world,” said Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud. “Our warriors are going to be armed with the best medicine that can be, whether it exists now or down the road. This is not about making money – this is a non-profit organization that’s dedicated to the saving of lives.”

t Wastewater From page A1

Pierce County Council members, local state legislators, and Public Works staff held tours and a ribbon cutting ceremony of sorts last Wednesday. But instead of the standard red ribbon and scissors, Planning and Land Services Director Dennis Hanberg tore a stream of toilet paper.

Dammeier and County Council Chairman Doug Richardson then flushed a ceremonial toilet before receiving tours of the plant.

“Thousands of people will flush their toilets and not have to think anything else about it,” Dammeier said.

Ground work for the project began in 2010 with construction beginning in 2013. Work ran nonstop for four years, except during a one-month hiatus during the U.S. Open in 2015. Minor construction work will likely run through early 2018, but the plant is functionally completed. The work upgraded all components of the plant, some of which dates to the early 1980s, when the plant was first built. Improvements include added capacity, increased odor control, new utility tunnels, new electrical systems and new on-site laboratory. New and upgraded

That idea then set the gears in motion that led to the addition of personal hygiene kits to also be handed out since food stamps do not include personal hygiene products.

“I thought that was interesting, but that was her wish,” Carson said.

Jayelle’s random act of kindness prompted talks with people at Emergency Food Network and city officials that led to the idea of purchasing small jars of peanut butter and plastic spoons and go to one of the farms to get some fruit. Valley Farms donated bananas.

An online fundraising effort raised $770 in two weeks, more than $200 beyond the goal. Jayelle’s birthday came and went on June 9 with preparations to hand out food and toothbrushes. She also gave out baskets to the local fire station. The family spent

“The journey will not end there,” Carson said. “There is a farm here called Mother Earth and they grow food specifically for the homeless. We will be volunteering some time here.”

Rather than raising money to simply donate, Jayelle wants to be active with helping homeless people.

“She wants to have that personal time doing it,” Carson said. “She always feels so bad for the people on the side of the road.”

She often hands out water bottles when she sees panhandlers from her car seat while stopped at intersections.

Emergency Food Network provides 14.8 million pounds of healthy, nutritious food annually to 68 food pantries around Puget Sound, hot meal sites and shelters for distribution to families and individuals in need.

“This project will allow the county to grow while keeping our sewer rates as some of the lowest in the region,” said Hanberg. “This expansion supports our goal of providing high quality wastewater treatment to best serve our customers and the environment in which we live.”

The completed project was $11 million under budget and was done with 1.3 million hours of construction work without an injury. M.A. Mortenson Co. served as general contractor while Brown and Caldwell was the lead designer. EC Electric was the electrical contractor and construction manager, while Prospect Construction and Carollo Engineering served as leads for the disinfection project. About 350 trade construction and electrical workers were on-site during the renovations.

Funding for the renovations came primarily through a series of bond sales.

Each bond has a 30-year payback period.

Additional funding comes from a $60 million Department of Ecology loan, connection charges for new developments, state grants, and monthly rates collected from sewer customers.

The plant remains closed to the public until the final work is completed, but public tours will return in the fall to showcase the state-of-the-art facility.

This year is no different. In fact, the need has increased. Sponsors and donors are in short supply.

We are asking business people and private citizens to help keep the air show and the other 4th of July traditions alive to step forward. We are taking a leap of faith to commit to presenting the Freedom Fair this year.

TACOMA WEEKLY 2017 ALL-CITY BOYS SOCCER TEAM

By Justin Gimse jgimse@tacomaweekly.com

Had the planets and stars been in a little better alignment this spring, there’s a decent shot that Tacoma would have seen several of its high school teams crash the party at the boys’ state soccer tournament. As the regular season wound down, and five of the six big Tacoma schools sent teams into the district round of the playoffs, hopes were high that Grit City was going to witness something historic.

When the final whistle blew, on the final soccer match that included a Tacoma team, it all felt like a fantastic movie production that ran out of money at the end and had to curtail what was set to be a sensational finish. Hopes and aspirations were high for the city’s top teams, but in the end, you’ve got to throw records aside and just play the game.

The Stadium Tigers won the 3A Pierce County League title and smashed their way into the 3A state tournament with a remarkable 17-0 record. With the chance to host two straight state tournament games, should they win the first, Stadium found themselves bounced out of the tourney in the final seconds of their match with West Seattle. A questionable substitution turned into an immediate goal for the visitors at Mt. Tahoma Stadium, and if you listen very carefully, you may still hear the echoes of “What?” still floating around the stands.

Bellarmine Prep entered the district tournament with high hopes and a team stacked with talent. A feisty Mt. Rainier club stood in the way of a state tournament berth, and a flat outing by the Lions let the underdogs sneak away with a 1-0 victory.

Mt. Tahoma and Wilson entered the final round of the district tournament needing just a win to advance to state, but it wasn’t going to happen for the hometown boys. The week prior saw the Lincoln Abes defeat Timberline in the opening round of districts, marking the first boys’ soccer playoff victory in the modern era for the Rail Splitters.

To celebrate the outstanding play by Tacoma’s finest soccer players this season, the Tacoma Weekly put together a list of the best of the best players from around the city. We then created two fictitious soccer all-star clubs and then drafted players to each team from the pool of talent. In doing so, we believe we have created a better representation of Tacoma’s talent compared to the usual firstteam, second-team, honorable mention format most other outlets have employed for decades.

t’s been a wild season so far for the Tacoma Rainiers and their faithful baseball fans.

After two straight seasons of surprisingly solid weather early in the season, the Rainiers have stepped out onto the field for some chilly and wet contests at Cheney Stadium. Of course, if it was just the weather offering up a difficult road for the Rainiers, that wouldn’t be all too bad.

The real stinger this season has been the constant fallout from a Seattle Mariners club that can’t seem to roll out

a consistent lineup from week to week.

Sometimes it feels as though someone is coming up from the Rainiers, or being sent back down, on a daily basis.

One thing is for certain, the rapid influx and exit of players at Cheney Stadium has kept the Rainiers’ uniform staff on their toes the entire season.

As of this issue of the Tacoma Weekly, the Rainiers sit at a respectable 37-33. While that number isn’t quite as awe inspiring as last season’s march toward a Pacific Coast League Northern Division crown, it’s still very impressive, considering the constant upheaval to the roster.

Tacoma is nearing the midpoint of the season, and so far, the number

of player transactions is staggering.

In just 70 games, Tacoma has seen a totally of 180 player moves. A few weeks back we joked that the Rainiers were on their way to a 400-transaction season, and we were trying to be a little outrageous.

At the current rate, Tacoma may fall short of that 400 number, but they’re certainly making a pretty good run at it.

Whether a player is being called up to Seattle from Tacoma, or being sent down, that’s a single transaction. There are also trips to the disabled list, player claims off the waiver wires, trades and outright releases that factor into the u See RAINIERS / page A14

mix. For fans bringing their support to Cheney Stadium, it can become quite the challenge to keep up with who is suited up.

The shocking injury situation for the Seattle Mariners looks like it may be finally easing up. Tacoma has recently welcomed Seattle’s Felix Hernandez for three starts and a start by the Mariners’ Hisashi Iwakuma.

Out in the field, Rainiers’ fans have had the pleasure of seeing Seattle rookie sensation Mitch Haniger wear the baseball cap with the signature “R” on it, as well as superstar Jean Segura recently.

Speaking of Hernandez, the Mariners’ ace pitcher had a bumpy start to his rehab assignment. Hernandez was unable to get the amount of work in that Seattle was looking for, so they ran him out to the Cheney Stadium mound another two times before recalling him back to Seattle.

In his first outing on Tuesday, June 6, Hernandez lasted just two innings, giving up five earned runs on four hits and two walks to the Reno Aces. After hitting 50 pitches in the second inning, and a long Rainiers’ stanza in the bottom of the inning, Tacoma would go to the bullpen and Hernandez would have to wait for his next chance.

On Sunday, June 11, Hernandez took the mound against the Las Vegas 51s and “the King” looked quite a bit like his old self. Hernandez would take a no-hitter into the fifth inning before giving up a walk and a double, giving up a single run. Hernandez would finish with 64 pitches, while giving up just one hit, one earned run and one walk. Felix also had five strikeouts. The outing was good enough to earn Hernandez the victory, which would be his 11th in his brief Tacoma Rainier career.

On Saturday, June 17, Hernandez would make his final rehab appearance with the Rainiers, and he put on quite the show for the 6,968 in attendance at Cheney Stadium. The Mariners’ ace rolled up 87 pitches in his six innings of work, giving up just four hits, while striking out eight Salt Lake batters. The Bees would fail to score a run against Hernandez, and the King would earn his second Tacoma victory within a week, giving him 12 now for his career.

Hernandez is scheduled to take the Safeco Field mound for the Seattle Mariners on Friday, June 23, against the blazing Houston Astros.

Iwakuma didn’t fare as well in his first rehab start on Monday, June 19, against Salt Lake. The veteran gave up four earned runs on four hits and two walks in just two innings of work. If Hernandez’ first rehab outing is

DEFEND THE CROWN. Felix "the King" Hernandez graced the mound at Cheney Stadium for a total of three

starts as he worked through a rehabilitation assignment. While his first start was a short-lived groaner, his following two starts were nearly stellar. Hernandez will make his return to the Seattle Mariners on Friday, June 23, when the M's host the AL West leading Houston Astros for a 7:10 p.m. start.

any indication or trend, fans should expect a solid performance from Iwakuma in his next start.

Tacoma currently sits seven games behind the Reno Aces (45-27), who look like they are trying to run away with the division title already. However, a seven-game deficit can be erased in a single week in the wild world of Triple-A baseball. If Seattle can solidify and get healthy for an extended run, expect an upswing in the performance from the Rainiers.

After an important four-game road trip against Reno, the Rainiers will return home for an eight-game home stand beginning on Monday, June 26, against Las Vegas

SONICS GUY: ROB LIND ON ICONIC BAND’S COMEBACK, FUTURE

By Ernest A. Jasmin ejasmin@tacomaweekly.com

T

acoma’s most emulated garage-rock band, the Sonics, will return to Seattle for the first time since the outfit celebrated the release of its critically acclaimed “This is the Sonics” album at the Moore Theater and Easy Street Records in 2015.

The band — featuring sax player Rob Lind from the classic 1960s lineup — will perform “The Witch,” “Psycho” and other high-octane classics as headliners of Elysian Brewing’s Search Party. The event will kick off at 2 p.m.

July 1 at Seattle Center and also feature supporting acts Thunderpussy, Black Pistol Fire and the Struts.

In anticipation, we caught up with Lind, who discussed the departures of band mates Jerry Roslie and Larry Parypa, returning to the studio and the odds his band will ever play its hometown again.

TACOMA WEEKLY: You guys disappeared for four decades; and now, coming up in December, is the 10th anniversary of your first comeback shows (at New York’s Cavestomp Festival.) What stands out most about this run as the Sonics, version 2.0?

ROB LIND: Back in the ‘60s, if we went to Eugene, Oregon and then went to Salem the next night, we considered that being on tour. We thought we were hot stuff, you know; then we’d get in the car and drive three hours and be home.

When we started going to Europe for a month and things like that, that was all new terrain for us, and we really had to learn how to do that. We’ve been doing a month-long tour of Europe at least once or twice a year since then, and we’ve done Australia twice. We did Japan and New Zealand. At this point, 10 years later, I would have to say that we’re combat veterans. We’re a pretty experienced touring band now.

TW: Sixty years in, and you’re finally hitting your stride.

LIND: (He laughs.) We’re slow learners, I guess, Ernest. Eventually we’ll get there.

TW: How would it have been different getting to do all this stuff at 25?

LIND: I’ve thought about that in the past. What if there was no Vietnam War, and I didn’t have to go? What if the band stayed together, we kept playing and doing all that stuff? Nineteen sixty-seven was about when we stopped playing. What happened was we missed all the influences that could have polluted us. ... We missed all the Bill Grahamlike shows and psychedelic (rock.), We missed folk-rock and 12-string guitars and all that stuff. We started back up right where we were in 1966. It’s like we were freeze dried; add water in 2007, and here’s the Sonics.

TW: I started noticing Larry and Jerry missing from the promo photos a

SAX APPEAL. Rob Lind will perform with influential Tacoma garage-rock band, the Sonics, on July 1 at Seattle Center. few months ago. When exactly did they leave the band, and what were the circumstances?

LIND: It started about two years ago with Jerry. We did a five-week European tour, and it killed us. It was really hard on us, and it was even worse on Jerry because of his health issues. So when we came back we did one show in Central America, and that was Jerry’s last show.

TW: What city was that in?

LIND: It was in San Juan, Costa Rica. We could see it coming on. We could see the effect it was having on Jerry, and it wasn’t good. We were all actually relieved when he said, “I can’t do it any more.”

him since we were 15. Up until he quit playing in the Sonics, I never played in a rock n’ roll band — and I’ve played in several – that Jerry wasn’t in.

Larry’s health was fine. He just doesn’t want to tour any more. The way Larry came to a conclusion, was we had been contacted by Robert Plant’s organization as he was in the middle of a tour. I can’t remember who was opening for him (but) they couldn’t complete the tour for whatever reason, and he had five more shows to go. So they called us.

TW: That’s a big deal.

LIND: So we went up to Toronto and hooked up with Robert and his band, played five shows and finished it in New York.

Well, about a month or two later the phone call came in, and he and his people had set up a tour of the entire South

WEEKLY REWIND

Photos by Bill Bungard A fleet of stunning vessels invaded Tacoma’s Foss Waterway from June 15 to 18 for the Festival of Sail. Among its attractions were the Lady Washington, a 112-foot replica of an 18th century warship that has appeared in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” and “Star Trek: Generations,” among other motion pictures; the Virginia V, the last of the steam-powered ferries that made up Puget Sound’s Mosquito Fleet, which taxied locals across the water before the launch of the Washington State Ferry system; and the world’s largest rubber duckie, which was both adorable and massive at a whopping 61-feet tall. He was also an ideal backdrop for one of the biggest flurries of gratuitious selfies the City of Destiny has ever seen. Even comedian Christopher Titus (bottom right) acknowledged the awesomeness of duckie as he worked out new material during his three-night stand at Tacoma Comedy Club, from June 15 to 17.

Patrick Seifert in front of the “Wall of Honor.”

A MAN ON A MISSION

Patrick Seifert is fighting to end the veteran suicide epidemic as this Olympia veteran’s advocate brings his message nationwide

By Matthew Carlucci “Why isn’t this being talked about? Why hasn’t war been declared on veteran suicide? It’s shameful.”

Patrick Seifert’s voice intensifies. “It’s not visible.

PTSD isn’t a missing limb. It isn’t a scar, it isn’t a big burn mark. PTSD is one of those things that is invisible. A lot of people don’t think that you are broken unless you look broken.”

The numbers are daunting but bold leaders like Seifert are working every day to make sure we recognize and end the veteran suicide epidemic. After the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs 2012 Suicide Data Report, it is commonly stated that we lose 18-22 veterans to suicide every day. While there is plenty of discussion to be had around the data in the report and the context of these numbers, the plain and simple reality of the continuous stream of veteran suicides has Seifert on a mission “Anything I can do to keep these veterans busy, I’m doing it. We do veteran yoga, during the summer we have a barbeque series, and whenever we can go to the capitol and fight for legislation we are doing that,” he said. Seifert operates Rainier Xpress in Olympia.

Until the closure of the medical cannabis market in July 2016, Rainier Xpress operated as a cannabis dispensary, and home base for the veteran support and advocacy non-profit Twenty22Many.

While they can no longer provide access to cannabis and support programs like the “PTSD Pen” (Seifert donated thousands of dollars worth of vape pens to people with PTSD and asked them to journal about their experiences), Rainier Xpress is still living out the mission of Twenty22Many. Every Saturday they host an educational speaker with topics ranging from managing aggressive behavior, to hemp, self defense, and advocate etiquette. On Wednesdays upward of 20 people come to do arts and crafts with Seifert, his wife, and three children. They spend every other weekend outside cleaning the streets of Olympia, a program for which they received the “volunteers of the year” award from the city.

As he settles into his hotel room in Washington, D.C., Seifert shares about his upcoming plans for the National Medical Cannabis Unity conference hosted

by Americans for Safe Access. He will be speaking to members of Congress in support of the CARERS Act, holding a live press conference on the capitol grounds, and is sitting on a panel that includes PhDs and MDs. “I used to try to write my speeches but I get too nervous, so I just go up there with a few bullet points.

Usually I find my way through it and get a good message across,” he said.

VISUAL MUSIC. Tweed Meyer’s pastel painting of the band Loose Gravel and the Quarry was made live during a performance at the Swiss.

By Dave R. Davison dave@tacomaweekly.com

When I look at a painting by local artist Tweed Meyer, I always see more than a little kinship with the great post-impressionist/proto-expressionist Vincent Van Gogh.

The kinship goes deeper than just a stylistic affinity. I get the strong sense that, like Van Gogh, Meyer gets an emotional charge from places and people. Her gift is that she is effective in her ability to channel this emotional perception into a visual depiction through her paintings and drawings.

A small show of Meyer’s work is running at the Swiss Restaurant & Pub. Unfortunately, time is running out to view the show, which is scheduled to come down at the end of this month.

The exhibit, a handful of large, pastel drawings on the back wall of the main dining area, is a sampler of some of Meyer’s “live paintings.” They portray some of the local bands like Loose Gravel and the Quarry and the Twang Junkies.

For two decades, Meyer has been attending performances of local musicians and spoken word artists with her paint box in tow. She works live during the performance, seeking to depict the performers in a way that captures more than just a visual likeness. Her expressionistic, gestural way of working is evocative of the essence or tone of the music and the atmospherics of the experience. This vein of Meyer’s work is an outgrowth of the concept of plein-air painting, in which a landscape painter sits outside to paint straight from the subject.

Here, the artist is trying to capture the look and feel of the musicians and their music.

A prime example of Meyer’s live music painting is a big pastel of the aforementioned Loose Gravel. The lines are easy and lucid. The figures of the musicians are made of blotches of fluid color. The central, bearded figure, Steve “Loose Gravel” Luhtala, is shown wearing his hat and wielding his guitar, which seems oversized in the picture, perhaps to emphasize the

big role of the instrument in the performance. The group’s bass player is also at the front, while the other musicians are in the background, along with the Swiss Tavern’s emblem of a white cross on red ground (which indicates that this picture was made during a performance at the very venue where it now hangs on display). In the room with the stage is an oil painting that Meyer made of the ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro.

In addition to Meyer’s portrayals of performances, she is also a great painter of local forests, shorelines and gardens.

Viewing one of these, one gets a sense of what might have resulted had Van Gogh lived and worked in our neck of the woods instead of the French countryside. Meyer’s paintings have a folksy feel as well; a textured, vibrant presence unhindered by the fussiness of technique of an academically trained artist. Meyer is the real deal, a painter who paints not so much because she chose to, but because she did not have a choice in the matter. It seems more that she was driven to do so in order to express the great pulsing, living, breathing vitality that she felt all around her.

For further information on Meyer, visit her Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ tweed.meyer. She is generous in posting a constant stream of her paintings and keeping fans informed of her upcoming shows.

here which is “Leaving Here” with Eddie Vedder singing lead on it, and we’ve contemplated releasing that.

TW: We’ve gotta talk about that. That’s something you’ve recorded already?

LIND: It’s off the live album, “The Sonics Live at Easy Street.” Eddie came up and did “Leaving Here” with us (from the) “This is the Sonics” studio album. We found out that Pearl Jam occasionally plays it live, so Eddie was real familiar with it.

We never rehearsed with him. He did a great job. Eddie is a wonderful guy and a good peformer. So it’s on that album, and we haven’t made a decision, but we thought maybe we’d make that the subject of an EP; maybe make that a single.

TW: I remember talking to you about the “8” EP (released in 2011) and how you thought it was OK but didn’t really capture your sound. Since then, you released “This is the Sonics.” How well do you think you hit the mark with that one?

LIND: Our manager at the time, Bryan Swirsky, said, “If you guys are gonna do an album, you need Jim Diamond to produce.” I didn’t know who that was. I had to Google him.

He worked with Jack White, and he worked with the Dirtbombs and all that stuff; he was from Detroit. So we said OK. Well, this guy Jim flew out.

We did a week of rehearsals (and) he said, “What I wanna try and do here is capture the fire and the energy that you guys had on those first two albums without doing direct copies.”

He kept our nose to the grindstone in terms of being honest. ... So I totally credit that album to Jim. He lives in France now. I’m trying to figure out if I can afford to bring him over from France. I don’t want to do another album without Jim being involved. He did things we’d never seen before.

TW: The Pantages show (the band’s only performance in Tacoma since 1966) was in 2012. I’ve heard through the grapevine you guys weren’t totally happy with how that all came together. I wonder what the odds are of you playing Tacoma again, back where it all started?

LIND: I used to go to that theater as a little boy to watch monster movies. My mom used to give me money to ride the bus, and I’d ride the bus downtown to go see “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” So it was kind of cool.

The problem with that — and I don’t want to cast aspersions on somebody who’s no longer with us — was Buck (former manager and Etiquette Records co-founder Ormsby.)

He was running short of cash; and he didn’t have enough money to advertise it correctly.

He didn’t have enough money to pay us. It’s the only show we’ve played since 2007 that we didn’t get paid for. The reason for it was our own manager set it up. I don’t say that to ham-

mer Buck. He bit off more than he could chew.

We’d have to have a professional promoter doing advertising and the radio stations and so forth, but I’d love to go back and play in Tacoma again. We just kind of got our fingers burned on that one.

TW: I floated the idea by Jerry that it would be cool if you played Tacoma Armory, given what that venue meant during the first run of the band.

LIND: Well, that was a big place to play back in the ‘60s.

We were pretty impressed when we got to play the Armory.

Yeah, I’d love to go back and do that again. But like I said, it would have to be professionally done.

TW: When you’re back in this area (Lind lives in North Carolina) are there things that you make a point of doing? Do you have time to visit people?

LIND: When I do have time, I definitely do that because my entire family’s up there. I know you know Kathlyn Neal, my niece (formerly a member of Tacoma garage-rock band, The F---ing Eagles.) My other nieces and nephews all live up there. My grandson, Jason Kertson, is up there. He’s a fabulous guitar player. As a matter of fact, I think he’s gonna be with me at that show. So I do see him and his mom and my brothers.

TW: Tell me about the event you’re playing at Seattle Center.

LIND: It’s for the Elysian

Brewing company, and they do a big outdoor show at Seattle Center. We’re playing in Vancouver, Canada, and then we’re coming down and playing Bellingham. We tacked that on at the end of it.

The girls, Thunderpussy, are playing the show; and I heard from an interviewer the other day they’re doing real well in the Pacific Northwest lately. We met the girls in Iceland. We were there to do the Iceland Airwaves festival last year, and we were staying at the same hotel; and so, in the morning we’d always end up in the lobby with the girls, chatting about music and going places.

They’re nice girls, and I look forward to seein’ ‘em again.

It’ll be a lot of fun.

Sun., June 25, 2 p.m.

Lakewood Playhouse, 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd. SW, Lakewood This production of “The Pirates of Penzance” will place you in the center of Gilbert and Sullivan’s musical presented with just the right dose of the humor of Monty Python and a dash of Warner Brothers cartoon fun. Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious, hopeful farce follows young Frederic, an orphan who has mistakenly been apprenticed to an ineffectual but raucous band of pirates. He disavows the pirates’ way of life and falls for the beautiful Mabel. Frederic’s melodious tones win over the heart of Major General Stanley’s songbird daughter, Mabel, but when the Pirate King discovers General Stanley has lied about being an orphan to keep the pirates from stealing all of his belongings and carrying off his bevy of beautiful daughters, an “ingenious paradox” may prevent disaster.

PETS Pet of the Week

NIGEL Say hello to Featured Pet Nigel. Nigel is a handsome orange tabby who is seeking a home that can provide a calm, serene place for him to hang his hat. The mellow fellow is a social eater and enjoys dining in the company of others. He’ll be so happy to have a mature individual, couple, or a family with older kids to call his own — the young man simply wants to be your one and only. Nigel can be characterized as a shy lap cat. Once the two-year-old has gotten comfortable he’ll knead you, though, and he takes pleasure in the occasional treat and sisel scratching posts. A slow and patient introduction would be best for Nigel as he adapts to his new environment.

Meet him today at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital in downtown Tacoma. Please call (253) 274-0225 or visit www. metvetpets.com to learn more. #A501694
