Tuesday, Sept. 16: Author Peg Bowden: "A Land of Hard Edges"

A patchwork of agricultural lands, booming border towns, and fast-growing cities line the United State-Mexico border. Teams of border patrol agents cruise the landscape in white and green jeeps, hoping to stem the tide of illegal immigrants seeking to cross into the United States. Against this backdrop, Peg Bowden, a

If there is a theater award for most timely show, it would have to go to Theater Artists Olympia\'s production of David Mamet’s “Boston Marriage." The award would go to the theater now despite the fact that the play is set 100 years ago, because its message is timeless as

Wednesday, Sept. 17: "Crossing The Arctic Circle and Above"

Human greenhouse gas emissions have led to a 40 percent increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As a result, the Earth is gaining energy at an alarming rate. We expect to lose ice, see oceans rise, changes to the ocean acidity level, among other changes. The

Through Sept. 26: "Ex Voto: Painted Images and Objects"

I have long been fascinated by Lisa Sweet's paintings. They are bizarre, pop-surrealist images of torture, death and martyrdom painted with skill and quirky humor. Lately she has added painted wood sculptures to her repertoire and along with that an amazing amount of playful depth, both

Coffin Break

For a long time, the only Coffin Break songs I had in my possession were "Kill The President," and covers of "Free Bird" and "We Can Work It Out." I had no idea where these stood in their popular songs – I was younger than 10 in their heyday of

Visual Edge: Lisa Sweet's Painted Images and Objects at Salon Refu

I have long been fascinated by Lisa Sweet's paintings. They are bizarre, pop-surrealist images of torture, death and martyrdom painted with skill and quirky humor. Lately she has added painted wood sculptures to her repertoire and along with that an amazing amount of playful depth, both literal and illusory. Sweet teaches

SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: The pruning process

So I've heard the rumors. Tacoma's art scene is in a slump. Some say it's dead. Really? Well, yeah. These aren't common haters. These are longtime supporters of the local art scene. But summer is here. That means a lot of outdoor festivals and hefty events like the upcoming Grit

3 DRINK MINIMUM: The Corner Bar

I might get flat-out fired for saying this, but screw the Weekly Volcano's Tournament of Tacos.  Please, allow me to inform you I'm a self-proclaimed taco expert (for the length of this column, at least), and I'm here to crown the Corner Bar as BEST TACOS in Pierce County.

Peggy Walther swears she has patriotism running through her veins. At least that's what she tells people. "I was over at Madigan the other day, and I told them if they test my blood it comes out red, white and blue," the 82-year-old former schoolteacher said with a laugh. Walther, a member of

9/11 Remembered: 47th Combat Support Hospital recalls the day

Capt. Mark Smith remembers where he was and what he was doing on 9/11. "I was a pastor in a church, and I was working in my office," he said. "My wife called and told me what was happening. I went home and sat down and watched the news unfold." The attack

Who doesn't like a little pizzazz with their jazz? Short answer? No one. Jazzy tunes inherently beg to be paired with a little spice, like a beer and a plate of nachos (don't hold the jalapenos), like a fine wine and ... well, actually pairing wine and

Double duty for Rep. Hans Zeiger

Looking ahead to local companies' fall theater offerings, it'd take an NSA supercomputer to find anything resembling a trend. Thank the gods! All too often, theater troupes play it safe from September to December, packing 'em in for inoffensive comedies and heartwarming holiday shows, thus stocking their coffers for colder

Powerhouse Restaurant and Brewery overhauls its menu, adds bourbon bar

As leaves begin to change color and sunny skies dim to cloud cover, so too do restaurant menus shift. However, Powerhouse Restaurant and Brewery in Puyallup is in a much more dramatic transition than the usual seasonal menu update. Blaine Baird, a manager with roots in the corporate world, once
