Wings to the future

The Washington Wing of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is an often unnoticed and underrated asset to the state and its citizens. "We aren't always noticed; we don't always stand out," said 1st Lt. Jessica Jerwa, public relations officer. "These are sharp, young people; they are highly motivated to serve this

Roasting coffee for the troops

De Espresso Liber, a South Sound based coffee roaster is carving out a name for itself in Washington's vibrant coffee scene. It's a small veteran-owned enterprise. Its founder, Alex, is a former Green Beret.  Because of the sometimes sensitive nature of special operations, Alex prefers to keep his last name out

Joint Land Use Study

Robert Frost once wrote, "Good fences make good neighbors," but what if the neighbors involved are military installations and the civilian communities they surround? When the neighborly issues involve community growth and national security, it takes more than just a fence to help these neighbors coexist peacefully. For the past 18

[title of show] is top notch

I went to see [title of show] (brackets and lower case letters intentional) thinking it was the dumbest play title I had ever heard but also with the expectation, that based on what little I had heard about it, that it was probably going to be pretty good. It was,

The idea of the chanteuse is one that has held its status in pop music, even if everything else about pop has been transformed by time. While the roles portrayed by strong women in music have evolved over time, the chanteuse remains a powerful figure, as comfortable in a smoky

How to decide where to live?

When looking for a new place to live, many people will rely on the advice of friends who live in the area. Since most military families have friends scattered throughout the world, they often call on these friends for advice when moving to a new duty station. There are plenty

Soaring into Olympia

Michael Dickter comes soaring into Olympia's Salon Refu with a show featuring paintings of birds and flowers, subject matter that is often snubbed with various "nesses" such as sweetness and preciousness. But there is little of the saccharine in Dickter's birds and flowers. The subject matter of his paintings is

Doctor, veteran familiar with families’ sacrifices

Dr. Stephen Shaffer has spent more than 30 years either serving in the military or serving the people in the military, and luckily for locals, once he was assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in 1984, he never really left. In 1989, as a captain, he left active duty and simultaneously entered

Veteran, reservist starts local MMA company

The promotion and management side of the world of professional boxing and mixed martial arts can sometimes be a more dangerous place for fighters than the ring itself. If fighters don’t have any business acumen, or are just plain new to the behind-the-scenes negotiations, valuable missteps such as scheduling a fight

Air Force Reservist makes film to honor Filipino-American vets

While enrolled at Evergreen State College's Tacoma campus, film student Ronald Lagman saw heavy doses of sex and violence - a la Quentin Tarantino style - grace the screen in several of his classmates' films. Lagman knew he wanted something different out of his work. After seeing a documentary about a

The weird and the wild

One of the last great horror movies I saw was at The Grand Cinema. The film was The House of the Devil, and it was a loving homage to the ‘80s satanic panic that ran through culture and really flourished in horror movies. There's a point close to the end

Sgt. 1st Class Jose Weeks, 38, is glad that he made the choice to stay in the Army and credits his own mentors for turning him into the Soldier he is today. Weeks, a platoon sergeant with the 2-12 Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Stryker Combat Brigade Team, was recently given

The beautiful practice of self-publishing has been providing a soapbox for maniacs and artists alike for many years. Without self-publishing, we would be bereft of scores of psychotic fan fiction, transgressive prose, loopy proposals for new religions, and furiously DIY examinations of local art and music - among countless other

Ever have one of those days where your brain simply doesn't cooperate with the rest of your body? Well, me too. In fact, something happened on the way to The Forum in downtown Tacoma a few weeks ago. After immersing myself in the historic Olympus Hotel, enjoying a few drinks

South Sound costume parties

You live for this time of year, where you can dress up as bacon (or sexy bacon?) and wander the streets incognito, becoming your extroverted alter ego for just one night. And as long as you're abandoning all inhibitions, you might as well have a good time and maybe -
