  • From MyNorthwest.com:
    If you are a cat or dog, you might want to move to Tacoma.

    The Tacoma City Council appears to be in favor of a ban on declawing cats and changes to how barking dog complaints are handled.

    Council member John Hines sponsored the ordinances. “I think it’s beyond time for us to make this choice and prevent something that we now see as inhumane,” Hines told The Tacoma News Tribune. “Choose cats, not couches.”

    There was no opposition to the proposed ordinance.

    According to the Humane Society, declawing can result in paw and back pain, infections, tissue death or lameness in cats. Improperly removed claws can regrow, causing nerve damage and bone spurs as well.

    The council is also considering removing a misdemeanor charge for public disturbance and nuisance noise made by an animal within the city limits.

    Currently, it is unlawful for any animal to make noise that “unreasonably disturbs” the peace of anyone for more than 15 minutes in any one-hour period of the day. This can result in both a civil and criminal penalty, jail time, or the loss of those animals. READ FULL STORY HERE

  • The Port Maritime Center project will be located on the east side of the Foss Waterway, just south of the 11th Street Bridge and will include a new Port business office and Tacoma Public Schools Maritime|253 skills center.

    The Port Maritime Center will be a landmark campus on the Tacoma waterfront, home to a new Port of Tacoma business office building and Tacoma Public Schools new Maritime|253 skills center. Maritime|253 will provide opportunities for high school students across Pierce County to develop skills and education leading to a career in the maritime and industrial trades.

    The proposed location is on Port-owned property on the east side of the Foss Waterway, just south of the Murray Morgan Bridge (11th Street Bridge), in Tacoma. The Port has been conducting extensive environmental and cultural resource assessments at the site. The Port recognizes the historical and cultural significance of the project area to the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and is committed to continued consultation and coordination with the Tribe.

    The Port’s new building will provide office space for about 150 Port and Northwest Seaport Alliance employees and will also include Port Commission meeting chambers. Opportunities to provide public access to the adjacent waterway will be explored through the site master planning process.

    The Port and school district are each conducting their own design process, with each organization paying for the construction of their own buildings. description.

  • Christmas Bird Count is Saturday, December 16th

    What is the Christmas Bird Count?

    Started in 1900 as an alternative to Christmas bird hunts, this tradition has grown to include over 50,000 participants around the country and the world. The sames spots are surveyed each year, showing how species migrate and populations change over time with their habitat. Data from the CBC has contributed to hundreds of studies on bird populations.

    How does it work?

    Participants receive a route from their area coordinator and head out in the morning to spend the day counting every bird they see or hear, from parks and yards to car parks and strip malls. If you're a beginner, just let the coordinator know and they'll pair you with an experienced birder for the survey. Traditionally, the count lasts from dawn, around 7-8AM, to dusk, around 4PM.

    After a day in the field, meet up with other birders at 4:30 PM at the Tacoma Nature Center for the Tally Dinner. Enjoy a potluck meal as you recount the day's sightings and stories!

    How do I get involved?

    Locate your survey area in the map on our website.

    Then, contact one of 8 area coordinators to get started!

    Vandalism, Explosion
    31700 blk 80th Ave Ct S, Roy

    A Mountain Detachment deputy was dispatched to a residence for a report of vandalism. When he arrived, the victim showed him his damaged pickup truck. The hood was dented and the windshield was broken. The victim then showed the deputy a video of a loud explosion and bright flash that occurred in the early morning hours. The deputy noticed pieces of neon green fuzz on the driveway and realized that the explosive device was a tennis ball bomb. A bomb tech responded to the scene and collected evidence. He believes someone placed the tennis ball bomb between the truck’s hood and windshield and then detonated it. The security video wasn’t pointed at the truck, so no suspects were seen.

    11/25/23, 6:30pm
    Strongarm Robbery
    15300 blk Woodland Ave E, South Hill

    A deputy was dispatched to a strongarm robbery that occurred in front of a residence. When she arrived, the 16-year-old victim and his mother explained what happened. The victim said he was messaging on social media with a friend who wanted to buy some Jordan sneakers from him. They arranged to meet at the victim’s house. When the friend arrived, the victim got into the suspect’s car, which also contained two other masked teens. They took the victim’s shoes and cash and forced him out of the car. According to the mother, the victim attends high school with the suspects and she said she would also be contacting the school. Our SROs were notified so they can follow up.

    11/25/23, 9:56pm
    Stolen Vehicle Recovery, Arrest
    169th St E & 3rd Ave Ct E, Spanaway

    Deputies were on pro-active patrol when they spotted a suspicious vehicle. They ran the license plate and learned that the car was stolen. Deputies directed the male driver and female passenger to exit the vehicle; they complied. As soon as a deputy informed the driver that he was under arrest, he became distraught and was screaming about going back to prison. The deputies are familiar with the driver and knew that he just got out of prison for motor vehicle theft and has an extensive history of stealing vehicles. While examining the vehicle, deputies noticed heavy damage to the steering column and saw that the vehicle had been hot wired. The 26-year-old male was booked into jail for possession of a stolen vehicle. There was also probable cause, from a prior incident, to arrest him for eluding.

    11/26/23, 11:20pm
    Vehicular Assault
    Military Rd E & Waller Rd E, Spanaway

    A deputy was dispatched to a serious-injury collision at a busy intersection. When he arrived, one of the drivers, a 25-year-old female, was being treated by fire personnel. The causing driver, a 27-year-old female, told the deputy that she attempted to stop at the stop sign, but her brakes failed. She also told him that for the past week, she has had to put brake fluid in her car five to six times. The deputy concluded that the driver’s negligence in driving a defective vehicle caused the collision. Charges of vehicular assault will be forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for review.

Mini Victories and Many Victories: An Interview with Playwright Darryin B. Cunningham
By Anne Howard

Darryin B. Cunningham is an actor, writer, director, singer, or “just a guy who likes to express himself through art.” Cunningham is anything but ordinary. With a new play coming out soon and an indie film on the horizon, his creativity abounds!

Anne Howard (AH): What are you working on lately?

Darryin B. Cunningham (DBC): I’m the playwright for the new show for this year’s Civil Right Legacy Tour with Tacoma Arts Live. I got involved through LaNita Hudson, a good friend of mine who suggested I send in an application to write the new show. I went through an interview process and after that I was offered the job. Very thankful and lucky, because I wouldn’t have known about it, had it not been for LaNita.

AH: Wonderful! Yes, I heard the new play is titled, Where Blooming Flowers Meet The Sky. I’m told it’s the story of Zhuli, a young artist visited by three prominent ancestors from the 1960s civil rights era. What was your process like in writing Where Blooming Flowers Meet The Sky ?

DBC: My process this time around was a lot more unique than it has been in the past for my plays. The original idea came from a short ten-minute play I had drafted up some years ago. Once I further developed that idea, I had to research a decent amount because I was going to be portraying real people. I wanted to master their voice and patterns as much as possible, while also using my imagination to fill in the blanks on things I thought they might say, and how they might say it. My process consisted of a lot of reading, watching a lot of interviews and speeches, and listening to music. It’s the most notes I’ve ever taken while working on a script. And it’s one of the shorter plays I’ve written. 

AH: Right – there are historical figures in this play. The story is about a fictional character who is visited by three real prominent ancestors from the 1960s civil rights era. Can you share a bit more about your vision?

DBC: My vision for the show is just that people can take something away from it. I hope they learn a thing or two about these historical figures. I hope Zhuli and her story will inspire them. Make them feel good. Make them feel something. I hope they remember it and continue to talk about their experience with others. Once the tour is over, the story will live in the hearts  and minds of everyone who was a part of the production. Whether you were an audience member or an actor. I just hope you carry that experience with you forever.

AH: Are there three prominent or personal figures in your life that inspire you?

DBC: I have a lot more than three prominent/personal figures who have inspired me. I suppose I’ve been lucky in that regard. If I had to choose three, my mother would be my number one. Just with how hard she works and how she was able to raise a bunch of wolves (boys). And still maintained her heart of gold through it all.

Secondly, would be my advisor back in college, Tom Smith! He’s a playwright himself and a director too! He just taught me so much and allowed me to grow as an artist. I’m not sure I fully believed in myself before I met him. That was my college experience as a whole honestly.

Thirdly, I guess if I had to choose a prominent figure, I’d cheat and pick two, Jordan Peele and Denzel Washington. Peele showed me that as a black creator, you can create interesting characters and have them exist in worlds we aren’t used to seeing them in. Especially as black characters. And they lead in his movies. Similar to how Lin Manuel is with his work.

Peele once said, “Write your favorite movie that you haven’t seen. Write something for yourself. Don’t worry about if it’s gonna get made.” That had stuck with me. All my work has been written with that in mind. I don’t think Denzel as an artist needs any explanation, but how he carries himself in interviews and in the world is equally as inspiring as his artistry.

He once said, “You start off each morning with your bucket of self-esteem, and when you come out the door everyone is sitting there with ladles. Ready to scoop it out. So you have to refill that bucket. You gotta understand that it is being emptied every day.” I thought that was beautiful. He made me realize the importance of failing and failing big. I feel as if that’s the majority of what my development as an artist has been. I’m still learning. Still chasing those same dreams.

AH: I love those choices, and those quotes! Thanks for sharing that inspiration. Now I’m wondering about how you developed the main character of the play. In what ways do you connect with Zhuli? 

DBC: I connect with Zhuli in many ways. We are both artists. Both writers, struggling with the pressure of understanding our words, have power and what we choose to do with that power matters. But also, just the belief in oneself. I think every artist has days where we question that. Every person does. But there is a resilience and a fire in her. And I definitely think she gets that part from me. Or maybe I’m learning it from her. I’m not sure.

AH: As a playwright, what do you find the most challenging? What is the most rewarding?

DBC: Oh boy, so many things. Sometimes meeting a deadline is hard. Sometimes it’s writing endings. I’m the type of artist who loves a good complex story, but when you set that up, you have to make sure you tie all your threads back together. With this story in particular, I had to find a way to pack a lot of information and scenes I felt were important, into a shorter, one act play. My goal was to weave real life quotes from these people into the lines that I wrote for them and I wanted it to feel seamless. I also struggle with titles. Unfortunately, I always have.

The most rewarding part of writing a play is finishing it. Having a product that you created front to back, that you can now share with the world. I love that feeling. The only thing that can top that feeling is having people tell you they love it or they want to produce it. I’m mostly joking.

AH: What do you do for work and for fun outside of “Where Blooming Flowers Meet The Sky”?

DBC: So outside of the work I did on this show, I’m always writing something new or writing with someone. Currently working on my next full-length play! I’m an actor as well, so a lot of self-tapes and auditions. I also work as a barista most days of the week. I’m looking to start diving deeper into film very soon. Not just as an actor but a writer and director also. I have an indie film coming out soon called “Paradolia” so be on the lookout for that! I love to read, play video games, and watch tv/film, too.

AH: Anything else you want to say?

DBC: I want people to know that one voice, your voice, is enough. There is a reason Zhuli says that. Never stop chasing the big dreams, but recognize that along the way, you will have mini victories and many victories. Take time to acknowledge and celebrate each one. 

 

“Where Blooming Flowers Meet The Sky” promises to be heartfelt, soulful, educational, rectifying, and light. In addition to touring schools in the region, there will also be a FREE performance open to the public on Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. at Mt Tahoma High School.
