50 years of bmw northwest From a young age, Manfred Scharmach learned about work ethic and building a business from his father, Werner. “I started out playing around the repair shop on Saturdays,” recalled Scharmach. “As I got older, he put me to work with a broom and later washing cars.” The elder Scharmach, who was reported to be the best German car mechanic around, owned European Motor Service in Olympia. His reputation led to an invitation to become Olympia’s official BMW dealer and in 1968 the repair shop evolved to include a showroom.

In addition, the dealership is celebrating by donating $50,000 to local nonprofits chosen by BMW Northwest employees. The missions of a few of the recipient organizations include supporting military veterans, providing food for children and seniors, and sheltering homeless youth.

This year marks the 50 th anniversary of BMW Northwest, making it one of the oldest BMW dealerships in the nation and the only original family-owned dealership remaining in Western Washington. The achievement was recently commemorated with the presentation of a Monument Award from BMW of North America.

That focus remains strong today and is being passed on to Manfred Scharmach continued learning from his father, working as a a third generation.

tacoma art museum’s new wing is in full bloom this spring If you listen carefully you can almost hear the flowers opening on the life-size glass trees by Debora Moore that recently debuted at the Tacoma Art Museum. Commissioned last January for the opening of the new Benaroya Wing, these majestic art pieces are a fitting representation of the museum’s new and bold expansion embracing the medium of glass.

David Setford, TAM’s executive director, sees the new wing as a natural expression of the museum’s mission focusing on the art and artists of the Northwest. He notes that the museum has a longtime interest in glass. This is evidenced by the museum’s earliest glass exhibition in 1971, precisely when the glass scene was really getting hot. Seattle glass aficionados Jack and Rebecca Benaroya selected the Tacoma museum to receive their collection of over 300 objects. The collection represents the finest achievements by important artists whose work tells the story of Northwest art and identity. The artwork joins the museum’s already robust glass collection. The Benaroya Collection will allow for a deeper reflection on the history and impact of glass in the region and beyond. In addition, the collection places Tacoma Art Museum into an elite realm of museums with exceptional collections of studio glass. Tacoma, of course, has a longtime connection to the medium and a reputation as the epicenter for modern glass. The city is the birthplace of internationally revered artist Dale Chihuly, as well as the nationally acclaimed Hilltop Artists program. The Museum of Glass and numerous working hot shops also dot the city. Whether you are entranced by Moore’s glittering trees or inspired by classic Chihuly forms, TAM’s new wing will add another jewel to our region. It is sure to attract attention from across the country and around the world. vHILLARY RYAN

savings made sim ple: wa college savings In today’s world, where the price of a bachelor’s degree can rival that of a single-family home, having a 529 college savings plan can offer young parents peace of mind. It’s easy to enroll, either on your own or through a financial adviser, and once you’re signed up you can set up automatic contributions to fund the account. Your investment grows tax-free and won’t be taxed when you withdraw, as long as the money is used to pay for qualified education expenses. Beyond the double benefit of tax-deferred investment growth combined with tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses, there are a number of advantages to saving in a 529 account. A brand-new benefit as of January 1, 2018, is you can use 529s to save for private school tuition for kindergarten through 12th grade. This provides tax savings for parents who plan to send their kids to private school. You can withdraw up to $10,000 per year, per student for this purpose. Additionally, you can set up an unlimited number of plans, and

there are no rules on who the beneficiary can be. This means you can create an account for a relative, friend, or yourself. The gift of education is one that will open doors to a world of opportunity and is sure to last a lifetime. For many new parents, receiving a college fund as a baby gift packs a stronger punch than a new toy or baby bib. “Giving the gift of higher education is really amazing,” says Lucas Minor, Interim WA529 Director. “An entire family can participate. When someone is saving for your child’s future and cares about your child’s success, it reduces barriers and encourages kids to grow up with the incentive and expectation to attend college.” When opened for a newborn baby, the account has 18 years to grow, with interest compounding on interest, making it an especially savvy present for money-minded gift-givers. vKELLY LENIHAN

a taste of mediterranean sunshine Experience the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean at Gertie and the Giant Octopus. Drawing on the cuisines of Italy, France and Spain, this intimate restaurant in Gig Harbor enables you to experience a wide range of seasonal small plates.

The origin of this endeavor was one of happenstance and good fortune. After working as a chef consultant, Robert DeLaura came upon a notice of a cupcake business that was closing. He made a proposal to the owners to transform the space into a bistro and bar. Now Gertie and the Giant Octopus is celebrating its third year of success.

Spring brings a wide variety of fresh produce, such as asparagus and morel mushrooms that will be featured in many dishes. Mache, the first tender spring greens, will be dressed with a simple blend of white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and hazelnut oil for a lovely spring salad.

The new season will bring other new offerings at Gertie and the Giant Octopus. Well-known for its unique wine menu, the restaurant and its sommelier, Inez Staley, will be putting together a curriculum for wine lovers to gain more knowledge and appreciation. vHILLARY RYAN

For people unfamiliar with the restaurant’s offerings, Chef Robert, as DeLaura is known, is full of suggestions that sound delicious. “We do a brown butter chicken that is first dipped in Parmesan cheese and egg, then pan-fried and roasted in the oven completely submerged in butter. It’s served with browned butter and lemon sauce. Our most popular small plate,” DeLaura continues, “is our champignon di Paris.” He explains that this is mushrooms sautéed in extra virgin olive oil. Then leeks, garlic, Spanish sherry wine and cream are added. Finally, the dish is finished with a pecorino al tartufo. This is an Italian sheep’s milk cheese with black truffles in it “to further enhance the mushroom earthiness,” says DeLaura.

Northern Lights Interiors, based in Sumner, has worked with the homeowners for more than 10 years to create the tasteful design. They note that flood damage spurred on a massive remodel to the home. Over a period of time the remodel took on a life of its own, they say. During this time, the firm advised on adding architectural elements to the home, such as fireplace designs, woodwork details, paneling layouts, lighting design, window treatments and furniture. As is customary in the South, this Southern-style home grows more beautiful with time. Expansive outdoor living spaces draw people outside, too, where they can take in the sights and sounds of a bubbling fountain, an abundant orchard and a picturesque mountain creek. The heart of the home is warm and welcoming. The homeowners love to travel the world, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no place like home when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built with the taste and sophistication of Southern design. vLEAH GROUT For Additional Information Northlight Interiors northlightinteriors.com

In winter, large windows, glass doors and mirrors can give the illusion of a much wider environment. In summer, these windows and doors can be opened to extend the area outside. Bringing a few plants and fresh herbs into the kitchen can help create a seamless transition between indoors and out.

Striking, Subtle and Sophisticated Lighting A good kitchen allows for decent cooking; a great one encourages so much more. Increase the versatility of your space by installing different lighting options. The simplest solution is dimmer switches. They can be on full brightness to wake the kids up before school, and then lowered for a relaxing evening. Go for something bold and modern to give the kitchen a personality, but also have the option to illuminate just around key cabinets and appliances. Lights are often an afterthought, but thinking about them upfront can help you create a truly mesmerizing space.

What About Tech? The global smart-home market is expected to exceed $50 billion by 2022, so incorporating Wi-Fi into your refrigerator could help future-proof your property. However, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act prematurely. Some house hunters will be put off by excessive tech and it can be difficult to take with you when you move out. Play it safe by sticking to classic kitchen tech such as dishwashers and modern fridges. For many home buyers, the kitchen is the most valuable room in the house. Get this right and you could add thousands of dollars to your propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selling price. Consider versatility and timelessness, sticking to classic, but luxury designs. vKAROLINE GRIMES

shopping spring 2019

If you’ve stuck to your New Year’s resolutions, they have become solid habits. And what goes better with new habits than a fresh wardrobe? Reward yourself for your hard work! Get ready for a new season by adding some of these new trends to your wardrobe this spring.

Classic Cardi

Cardigans are having a moment in the spotlight. The fashion classic will never go out of style but occasionally it does come more sharply into focus. This season it is a trend that is easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Buttoned up or open, oversized or fitted, this staple piece is now being seen with new design details to make it more modern. It’s easy to wear to the office and perfect for date night.

Sweet Sorbet

When it comes to spring color palettes, pastels are anything but revolutionary. In fact, we expect the parade of lilac, mint green and baby pink when the weather starts to warm up. This season, designers are incorporating pastels' more saturated sisters— sorbet hues—into their looks.

Crochet Creations

Styles debuting this spring feature crochet in fashions as varied as pullovers and provocative dresses. These easy-to-wear items can be dressed up or down. Chic and effortless, crochet is statement-making without being loud. This is a far cry from anything you would have found in your grandmother’s wardrobe.

Ballet Is Back

The romantic, whimsical look and feel of the ballet flat inspired a redo of the classic shoe and led to a new array of pumps. The dancewear staple made its way onto the runway and into our fashion lineup in a way that is easy to incorporate into any wardrobe. This season’s looks are comfortable and versatile. Pair flats with a breezy sundress or a tailored suit for a look that is poised and polished. vANDREA LERUM

managing cholesterol is important at every age

New guidelines recently released by the American Heart Association stress the importance of taking a lifetime approach to managing cholesterol levels as a way to minimize the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke. The new guidelines offer a more personalized approach to assessing individual risk and developing a treatment plan, according to Dr. Marina Jansen, a cardiologist and an AHA Go Red for Women ambassador. Atherosclerosis—the buildup of fat and cholesterol-filled plaques inside the arteries—begins in young adulthood, Jansen explains. Smoking, high blood pressure and high blood sugar are well-established risk factors used for calculating a person’s 10-year risk for developing heart disease. But it is now recommended, Jansen continues, that physicians also consider “risk-enhancing factors.” These include family history and other health conditions, such as inflammatory diseases, chronic kidney disease and a history of complicated pregnancies. “Lifestyle changes of diet modifications, weight control and exercise are always step one in treating elevated cholesterol,” says Jansen. For patients at higher risk, a cholesterol-reducing drug called a statin can be prescribed. Statins can reduce cholesterol up to 50 percent by blocking an enzyme in the liver. Global and U.S. studies have suggested the optimal level of LDL, the so-called “bad” cholesterol that contributes to atherosclerosis, should be less than 100 mg/dL for otherwise healthy people. Cholesterol management is part of an overall healthy lifestyle. Other factors include not smoking, getting plenty of exercise, eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy body weight, and controlling blood pressure and blood sugar. Adults should discuss their risk of heart disease with their physician to determine the most appropriate treatment options. The new guidelines also recommend screening for children, particularly if there is a family history of heart attack or stroke. Your child’s pediatrician can determine the best age to begin screening, which involves a simple blood test. vJULIE LEYDELMEYER For Additional Information American Heart Association 1142 Broadway, Tacoma 253.240.3310 heart.org

fresh from the farm: get your share South Sound residents are lucky to have an abundance of farmers markets in the local area. Nearly every day of the week, you can connect with local agricultural producers throughout Pierce, Thurston and Kitsap counties. They offer high-quality produce and other locally sourced products like honey, flowers, eggs and meat. And to become truly part of the regional agricultural system, you can enroll in a farm share program.

Much like your Netflix or magazine subscription, a Community Supported Agriculture farm share connects you directly to the source of fresh, seasonal produce chosen for you by your local farmer. Often referred to as farm boxes, CSA shares are offered in a variety of sizes based on the number of people in a household. They are typically available June through October, but some farms go year round. A few farms offer egg and flower shares as well. Farm boxes can be picked up at the farm, at local drop points such as office buildings or front porches, and even at farmers markets. Members often get additional perks such as custom recipes based on the weekly delivery or opportunities to harvest items on the farm, such as flowers or herbs. If you opt for picking up weekly at the farm, you get to watch plants develop from sprouting to harvest. You get the chance to reconnect with our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agrarian roots. Farmers benefit greatly from having shareholders, and you help farmers stay viable, thus increasing your support of the local food supply. When you commit to eating in season by subscribing to a CSA, you can be sure that you are making a healthy choice for both yourself and the community. vHILLARY RYAN For Additional Information pugetsoundfresh.org/find-csa farmerspal.com/region/washington

senior wellness: the best tips for health this spring

Most people, especially seniors, tend to slow down during the winter, so spring—when nature is waking up again—is the perfect time to get moving. Whether you’re living independently, living in a senior community, living with a family member or caring for one, these spring health tips are sure to rejuvenate and inspire. “Spring up” your diet by eating foods fertile in the spring season as a healthy way to shed those winter pounds naturally. Foods that are in season during the spring include leafy greens, strawberries, baby asparagus, and seasonal fish and shellfish. To keep your body running at peak performance, it needs regular maintenance: a spring tune-up, so to speak. Dr. Lu Gao, board-certified internist at Pacific Medical Centers, offers the following tips:

1 2

Keep warm as the season transitions from winter to spring. Even as temperatures start to rise, it’s important not to switch to spring/ summer garments until outdoor temperatures stabilize. If you’re no fan of ice and snow, your whole world may expand once the spring sun settles in and thaws out the land. Stay active with daily outdoor exercises, ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. Moderate physical exercises are best to keep your heart rate at a safe range of 40–50 percent. These activities may include brisk walking or gardening, easily fitting into your daily routine.

3 4 5 6

Be careful of obstacles to prevent falls both inside the house and outdoors. To be extra-cautious, use aids like walking sticks or canes whenever appropriate and possible. It is also important to ensure that footwear is securely on and supportive of your feet. Springtime can mean the beginning of allergies. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, take or continue your allergy medications, and be aware of pollen exposure during springtime. Pollen counts are the highest between 5 and 10 a.m., so try to reduce excessive exposure during that time frame by staying inside, wearing a mask or taking antihistamines. Stay hydrated. As we age, our ability to notice thirst may decrease, so it’s important to keep an eye on water intake, especially when you’ve been outdoors in the sun. Stay up to date on immunizations and other health screenings.

When your body is tired and your joints are sore, finding the motivation to be active is easier said than done. Even the smallest steps, however, can have a big impact on your overall well-being. Start with just one or two of these health tips and work your way up from there. vKELLY LENIHAN
