Veterans Day true or false

We'll take Military Rumors for $200, Alex. During the past few years, the Internet has been buried in a blizzard of myths, legends and bizarre rumors about the U.S. military.  Some of these even turn out to be true. How good are you at separating the real from the hoax?  Here

Veteran Mel Wilson invents Outdoor Sleeves

As a 91-year-old World War II vet who once flew P-39s, no one would blame Mel Wilson for just sitting back and doing nothing. But Wilson, following the old adage "use it or lose it," keeps on doing, filling his days with chores and activities. "When you do nothing, then you grow

American Legion Post 138 salutes Veterans Day

Honor is both a noun and a verb that has the same meaning - to show great respect. It's also a word that veterans understand implicitly. "Veterans Day is about honoring those who have served," commented Army veteran Hector Rolon-Hernandez as we sat at a small table just inside the front door

Comfort food in Tacoma

I awake in the morning to find it is still dark, and the idea of being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed escapes me. The sun hasn't greeted me, and seemingly fails to because when I get off work, it's still dark! While everyone else is marveling over the "extra hour" of sleep

Do not doubt ‘Doubt’

College theater programs are sort of known for taking risks and staging works that force audiences to think — and often even argue — about the goings-on in front of them. Maybe that is because colleges are places of change and thought, where students can expand their views of the

[ROCK] + FRI, NOV. 7 Fresh from reincarnating Courtney Love and Hole for Night of the Living Tribute Bands 2014, Oly's all-grrl rock trio Full Moon Radio will blow the roof off the Midnight Sun Friday night. (That's a shame, as Theater Artists Olympia just repaired and repainted the joint.) Even

"All Your Friend's Friends" collides MCs and far-out DIY

Borrowing samples of other people's music for your own songs was once the most natural thing in the world. I doubt that anyone really thought of the implication that you might end up profiting off of someone else's work - if anything, it might be viewed as a flattering gesture

Save it for a rainy day

Pingpong is to tennis as foosball is to soccer. I know it’s on cable now, with lots of controversy over slower balls and faster paddles, but it retains for me only memories of rainy days at summer camp. I have never lost all affection for the sport, however, and am

Friday, Nov. 7-Saturday, Nov. 8: The Harvey Girls

There's a slinkiness to the Harvey Girls that damn near undeniable. The Portland trio combines a music history lesson's worth of influences into something that resembles a soul-singing diva fronting an art-pop group from the UK or New Zealand. The arrangements are simple and sprightly, forming a skeletally charged structure
