Saint Martin’s University Celebrates 125 years Saint Martin’s University started 125 years ago when a group of Catholic Benedictine monks from Saint John’s Abbey in Minnesota came West to found a school. In 1895, the first student traveled 25 miles by canoe, Angus McDonald, from Shelton. Saint Martin’s was started as an all-boys high school and then transitioned to a college in 1938, and later Saint Martin’s University in 2005. The University’s 125th anniversary will be celebrated with community events over 18 months starting with Saint Martin’s Alumni Homecoming festivities now through May 2021. Saint Martin’s has served as the gathering place for the community by hosting events, athletic games and cultural events for over a century.

“It is a milestone for any organization to reach their 125th anniversary and very important for all to celebrate this achievement,” said Saint Martin’s University President Roy F. Heynderickx, Ph.D. “ We see this 125th year as an opportunity to connect the Saint Martin’s family of alumni, students, faculty, staff, and abbey members with a renewed commitment to excellence. Personally, I find this achievement as an opportunity to re-energize the community around our distinctive mission of serving others.” The University is now a vibrant campus with approximately 1,300 undergraduate students and 250 graduate students continued >> SHOWCASE MAGAZINE

THE LURANA Olympia’s New Development Water views have a calming effect on the human psyche. Living in the Puget Sound affords us many opportunities to live with views of the water and now there will be one more in the heart of Olympia. Located on .6 acres at Percival Landing, one of Olympia’s three waterfront parks, the Lurana will be a welcome addition to the community. Designed by Thomas Architecture Studios, the new mixeduse building was named for an early Olympia pioneer, Lurana Percival who, along with her husband Samuel, built the Percival Mansion in 1874. The new Lurana project will be home to a restaurant, ROW Seafood, and retail spaces with terraces extending to the boardwalk. The project will accommodate a large outdoor plaza adjacent to the boardwalk with extensive restaurant seating. Retailers will include Bittersweet Chocolate as well as office spaces.

Forty-four apartments, consisting of ten studios, twenty-eight 1-bedrooms and six 2-bedrooms are available at the Lurana for lease. With waterfront views of Budd Bay, the Olympic Mountains and the State’s Capitol Dome, this property is an excellent location for those wanting to be near a hub for gatherings and social interactions while being near the central business district of Olympia. Percival Landing includes a 0.9-mile boardwalk extending along the eastern shoreline of West Bay from the Fourth Avenue Bridge to Thurston Avenue making the area bustling and vibrant. Developed by Urban Olympia LLC and its owner Walker John, the Lurana will join other recently completed projects from this same group in the downtown including 321 Lofts, Franklin Lofts, and Annie’s Flats. The developer currently has Westman Mill and Market Flats under construction in the area as well. vLYN CASTLE SHOWCASE MAGAZINE

Women on the Waterway Image courtesy of Foss Waterway Seaport Museum

Thea Foss

had a mind of her own, and the pioneer Norwegian immigrant became the model for dozens of women who work on the Tacoma waterway that bears her name. Thea, born in 1857, arrived first in Minnesota, where she and Andrew married. By 1889 both had moved to Tacoma, where Andrew worked as a carpenter. While Andrew was out of town on a job, Thea changed her life. She bought a boat for $5 from a disgruntled fisherman, repainted it and sold it for a profit. That was the start of her waterfront fleet of more than 200 rowboats and the genesis of Foss Launch and Tug, now known as Foss Maritime, one of the largest maritime enterprises in the Western United States.

These professionals in the marine industry offer encouragement to young women:

“Never give up. Find mentors. Make connections with people who are doing what you want to do. Volunteer.” --Julia Berg “You don’t have to be tall and muscular. Use what you got! Women can use their smaller bodies as an advantage. On the sea we are all equal. The sea recognizes hard work, responsibility and dedication.” --Monique Valenzuela “Get involved. Lots of opportunities exist in marketing, logistics, shipping. Want a good-paying job and variety? Take the challenging road to be part of the maritime industry.” --Clare Petrich 14

SHOWCASE MAGAZINE

around the world and has found supportive women in the marine community as she fosters innovative marine science education at the museum.

Clare Petrich

descended from a family of boatbuilders and marine enthusiasts in the Adriatic. In Tacoma, her father started Petrich Marine on the Thea Foss Waterway. Was Clare, the daughter of the family, invited to participate in the business? Not a chance. When her father died, Clare returned to Tacoma from living in India, West Africa and Asia to help her mother. “I knew nothing about the business,” she explained. “It was offlimits to girls.” But Clare had been a Sea Scout on the “Curtis,” and she was a determined learner. She met people on the waterfront, learned to work with the fishermen and got involved. She wasn’t appointed to a vacancy on the port commission because she was a woman, and “that made me mad!” She ran for a spot on the commission in 1995 and was elected the first woman to serve in the position.

Julia Berg, Director of Education and Community

Engagement for the Foss Waterway Seaport museum, came from a sailing family in Seattle, racing sailboats as a child—and usually the only female in the race. She always wanted to be a marine biologist and learned even with a master’s degree that creativity is a major factor in the job. She has lived, studied, and worked

Monique Valenzuela Being first is a similar story

theme for other women who work on the Waterway. In its 96 years of existence, Monique Valenzuela is the first woman director of the Tacoma Youth Marine Foundation on the Waterway. She didn’t grow up in a boating family but looked out on Commencement Bay and wondered how she could have access. “The maritime industry was not a pathway open to me, not something I thought possible to a young woman—let alone one who is less than 5 ft. 4 in. tall!” she exclaimed. Now she serves up to 900 students a year—half young women—and delights in empowering the girls and watching them “find their own voice” as they work on the “Curtis” and the “Odyssey.”

City of Lacey Accessory Dwelling Units An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU for short, is a second, small dwelling on the same property of a standard singlefamily home. ADU’s have been around for years, but maybe you’ve called them by other common names like Mother-in-Law or Backyard Cottage or Granny Flat or maybe even AboveGarage Apartment. Whatever you may refer to them as, ADU’s offer an opportunity to help diversify the housing needs of our communities. The City of Lacey recognized ADU’s as one solution they are implementing to solve the complex housing issue in their city limits. They created two pre-approved ADU plans, one a studio plan of 480 sq. ft and the other a 600 sq. ft one-bedroom plan, to assist in streamlining the approval timeline to approximately two weeks. Pre-approved plans speed up the permitting process because the reviewer knows the plans meet the City’s building codes and design guidelines.

These pre-approved plans are free of charge to Lacey residents; just stop by City Hall or schedule an appointment with a City Planner. Individuals can select the ADU’s roof style, siding, color, windows and doors for compatibility with their existing house and any of their neighborhood’s design requirements. ADU’s work best on a lot that is 10,000 sq. ft or .25 acres and larger. Use of the pre-approved ADU plan is not a requirement from the City of Lacey, but use of your own developed plan is subject to the City’s standard review process. An ADU can be used as a flexible space for your extended family, friends and out-of-town guests; a private studio in your backyard; or an affordable rental unit. Land conservation and preserving an existing neighborhood’s scale and form are just a few of the benefits of adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit to your property. vLYNN CASTLE

BATES CELEBRATES 80 YEARS OF CHANGING LIVES Eighty years ago, technical education in Tacoma began in the basement of Hawthorne Elementary School. Today, Bates Technical College serves some 3,000 students on three campuses and it’s still growing. “Our premier staff and faculty, coupled with our diverse and motivated student body, will allow us to enter into this anniversary year and beyond with renewed purpose and optimism,” said Dr. Lin Zhou, president. The college shows no sign of slowing down. A new building at the downtown campus will open in 2021. The Center for Allied Health Education will provide in-demand health programs in high-tech facilities to train skilled employees for expanding health care needs. Also planned is a fire service training center. It will allow the college to continue to offer comprehensive, quality, fire service training in a larger, updated facility. Bates offers Associate in Applied Science degrees (AAS), certificates of competency and certificates of training in hundreds of career areas, Dr. Zhou explained as she reflected on the college’s role. On September 4, 1940, the vocational education program opened in the Hawthorne basement on Tacoma’s east side in an area now known as the Dome District. The historic school was demolished in 1981, but the vocational institute established itself in central Tacoma. In 1947, Tacoma School District hired L. H. Bates as the school’s director. Bates retired in 1969, and the institute was renamed

SHOWCASE MAGAZINE

to honor him: L. H. Bates Vocational Technical Institute. Vocational institutes were removed from local school district supervision in 1991. Today Bates serves some 3,000 career training students and 10,000 more community members in programs such as continuing education, child studies, high school, and allied health. “Bates has provided members of the Tacoma community with a place to further their careers for 80 years,” Dr. Zhou said, “and we will continue to do so for many more.” vEMILY HAPPY For Additional Information Bates Technical College batestech.edu

Jacques Pépin, French Celebrity Chef, at Saint Martin’s Gala Cooking legend Jacques Pépin will bring his wisdom and years of experience as a celebrity chef to Saint Martin’s University Gala on November 7th. Born in 1935 in Bourg-en-Bresse, France, near Lyon, Pépin always found the kitchen to be a place of both comfort and excitement. He helped in his parent’s restaurant, Le Pélican, and subsequently worked in Paris, ultimately serving as personal chef to three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle. After moving to the United States in 1959, Pépin first worked at Le Pavillon, a historic French restaurant in New York City. Jacques Pepin has received 16 James Beard Foundation Awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award. For the past 30 years, Pépin has taught in the Culinary Arts Program at Boston University. His love for teaching and imparting knowledge is obvious. “I want to give back the excitement and love of cooking. I also enjoy showing the kids that love and prosperity can come through the kitchen. We are now teaching technique and courses through video around the country,” says Pepin. He is optimistic and lately his work has focused on families and cooking. “One of the good things that came out of this pandemic is that families were at home learning to cook and sitting down to share food together. Food and wine brings people together for conversations. It has forced us to get back to what is important,” says Pepin. “My life has been about cooking and I impart that love to students. I’m very much looking forward to sharing that love over some great food at the Saint Martin’s Gala,” says Pepin. vROBIN LUCAS

Fresh Herbs for Cooking and Cocktails

With summer here, it is a great time to enhance drinks and meals using fresh herbs that are plucked from your backyard, windowsill pot or planter. Here is a list of our favorite herbs to add a boost of fresh flavor to your favorite dish or libation.

Basil

For its prolific leaves, brilliant color, and its popular fragrance, basil is loved by many. Basil is so famous that it is widely used all around the world in both fresh and dried capacities. Its flavor can complement many different cuisines, and it also offers health benefits like anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Tarragon

Tarragon is widely used in classic French cooking, particularly as part of a bearnaise sauce, as well as with chicken, fish, and vegetables. Since the leaves are so tender, they can be mixed in with other greens for salads or sprinkled over a finished dish much like parsley. The anise flavor goes well in tomato dishes, so we can see using it in panzanella and caprese salads, in tomato-based soups, or in tomato sauces for pasta. Tarragon can also be muddled or infused into simple syrup for use in cocktails and summer coolers.

Dill

The dill herb provides a pleasant anise-like flavor to soups, seafoods, salads and sauces. The subtle taste of dill makes an excellent compliment to foods with delicate flavors like shellfish and fish.

Lavender

Lavender tops many gardenersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lists for ornamental value alone; resilience, drought tolerance and the fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bee magnet only further illustrate why this sun-loving Mediterranean native is a great herb garden addition. Oh, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a killer cocktail ingredient.

Mint

Grown in a pot by the kitchen, fresh mint refreshes everything from dressings, salads and sides to drinks and desserts with a sprig or two. vLEAH GROUT

Thyme

One of the most commonly called-for herbs, thyme is also one of the easiest to grow. Thyme is a more subtle herb, which, like basil, can work just as well in a cocktail as it does in a soup or mashed potatoes. Make lemonthyme butter to slather on roast chicken, or combine it with sweet tea, vodka, fresh lemon juice, honey, and ice for a refreshing drink.

Chic Farmhouse Design for Dash Point Home When Terry and Kathy Kleeberger decided to upgrade their Dash Point home, they envisioned a lighter, brighter space. “We loved the rustic, cozy feel of the house but wanted to update and brighten up the kitchen,” say the Kleebergers. The project began in January 2019 and was completed that June. The homeowners brought in the experts at Signature Design and Cabinetry to help with the design. “We wanted to keep it cozy and inviting, creating a comfortable place for friends and family while incorporating some chic farmhouse charm,” say the Kleebergers. The couple also envisioned a space with tools and equipment for plenty of ongoing entertaining both indoor and outside. “Remodels can be difficult and typically take longer than expected, but it all came together beautifully,” say the Kleebergers. “The cabinet design, ordering and installation was seamless. In the end, we have tons of storage and love the new pantry and wine cooler. Entertaining is so much easier with an indoor and outdoor kitchen, too. We now have an expanded space for people to enjoy in and around the kitchen.” vLEAH GROUT

Glitter & Suede More Than Just Princess Parties Opened a year ago, Glitter & Suede has quickly built a reputation as a highly enjoyable, yet affordable location for a Princess or Character party in the South Sound. But, what many may not know is that it is a great space for other events as well. The event space at Glitter & Suede is perfect for groups of 80 people or less and can accommodate a retirement party, a memorial service or a variety of corporate events. Even ticketed events such as a comedy show can utilize this great venue with the added benefit of promotional assistance from the Glitter & Suede team. Making the venue even more appealing is that the rental of the space includes tables, chairs and black or white linens plus set up and clean up. There is also access to Audio Visual equipment for basic presentations using a television or Chromecast.

SHOWCASE MAGAZINE

Princess and Character parties are still the main niche for Glitter & Suede with two-hour parties in a fully decorated facility. A full one-hour Princess or Character appearance is the highlight of the party. Plus Glitter & Suede can implement fun themed parties including pottery painting, cake and cookie decorating (through a Sugar Canvas Bakery partnership) and board making classes. For more information about the locally owned and operated Glitter & Suede venue, check out their website at www.glitterandsuede.com. vLYNN CASTLE For Additional Information Glitter & Suede glitterandsuede.com

Fitness For Mind & Body Open a window. Stand there for a while. Stretch your muscles. Breathe fresh air. Listen to the birds or the rain. How do you care for yourself? How do you pay attention to your physical body? To your mental and emotional cues? “Mindful fitness” meshes a fitness routine to keep you healthy and strong throughout your life with mindfulness, a meditative practice that provides a foundation for health, happiness and wellbeing. “Before beginning any exercise, pause and bring awareness to your physical form. Feel your bones, muscles, organs, tissues and even skin,” shares Adam Brady, yoga teacher and martial artist with the Chopra Center for nearly 20 years. “How does your body feel? Do you have pain or discomfort? Are you low on energy? Only after you’ve taken inventory of how you feel… should you proceed with your warm-up or workout.” Brady agrees that noticing your environment is important— temperature, lighting, odors and other sensory perceptions may influence your mindfulness practice. Consider closing the door, turning off the TV and choosing music that helps maintain a peaceful focus. The yoga experts know your mind will wander. Your job is to “come back to the present moment, the breath and the exercise” to create a breathing rhythm that “serves as a bridge between your mind, body and soul,” Brady said.

If a gym isn’t available or quite your speed, Integrated Pilates Tacoma suggests finding a safe staircase inside to do cardiovascular and balance work, remembering also to take rest breaks throughout the day so your nervous system can rebalance itself. Even children can participate in a “body scan,” lying on a comfortable surface, closing their eyes, squeezing every muscle in their bodies as tightly as they can, releasing all their muscles to relax a few minutes, and then think about how their bodies felt during the activity. Pay attention to your body, muscles, pace, breathing, resistance and tension—indoors and out—for a healthier and more mindful you. vEMILY HAPPY For Additional Information www.mindful.org/how-to-meditate-through-exercise

Natural mindful fitness exercises include martial arts, jumping rope, yoga, tai chi, walking or running.

Tumwater Eye Center At the new location of Tumwater Eye Center, Dr. Douglas Jeske and his wife, Karen, have created a distinctive look and customer experience for their patients. This new facility, located at 6510 Capitol Boulevard SE, features state-of-the-art eye care technology and equipment. With the help of Orca Construction, Quincy Home Interior Design, and Tovani Hart Architecture, the Jeskes turned a 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home office into a classic, yet contemporary eye clinic. On the exterior of the building there are large overhanging eaves, created with sustainable hardwood and composite siding materials, creating a uniquely Northwestern style which adds depth and character to the building. Upon entering, you are greeted by the warm, welcoming open-design entry featuring vaulted ceilings and extensive windows that flood the space with natural light. The optical display cabinets use beautiful LED illumination and textured laminates to enhance the international frame collection. Noted elements of the design feature budding birch cabinetry harvested from sustainable crops, sliding office door enclosures, and natural linens encased in a recyclable resin.

SHOWCASE MAGAZINE

Beyond the beauty of the location, Tumwater Eye Center features extensive use of technology to create a unique patient experience. Dr. Jeske uses premium computerized refracting equipment to create precise vision corrections. The vision concerns of patients are solved using the most current contacts and progressive lens designs and materials, including blue light blocking lenses. Qualified and compassionate staff help patients through state-of-the-art digital and infra-red retinal imaging and dark adaptation testing to allow early diagnosis of eye disease. Computer monitors in each exam room allow patients to observe images of their own eyes as Dr. Jeske offers practical education on eye health. The practice is also on the cutting edge of telemedicine, which allows remote patient examination with the simplicity of FaceTime. vLYNN CASTLE For Additional Information Visit their new location at 6510 Capitol Blvd SE, Tumwater or online at tumwatereye.com.

SEE WELL for your lifetime Protecting your vision and preventing vision loss is an important part of your overall wellness as you age. A common misconception is that vision loss is a normal part of getting older. That’s not entirely accurate. As we age, the risk increases of developing eye diseases and conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, or glaucoma. With regular eye exams, these diseases and conditions can be caught and treated in their early stages, which reduces the potential for permanent vision loss and blindness. Retaining good vision starts with preventive care. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that adults get a complete eye examination at age 40 to establish a baseline, if you haven’t already been seeing an eye care professional regularly. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease, don’t wait to get your eyes checked. Many age-related eye diseases don’t have warning signs or early symptoms, but can be detected during a comprehensive exam when eyes are dilated. Beginning at age 60, experts recommend an exam at least every one to two years.

Healthy lifestyle habits benefit your eyes. Following a healthful routine for your overall wellness is also great for your eyes. Eat a balanced diet that includes foods rich in antioxidants, such as dark, leafy greens and fish high in omega-3 fatty acids. Exercise regularly to improve blood circulation, which increases oxygen levels in the eyes. Maintain a healthy weight to keep diabetes under control. Stop smoking. Use protective eyewear to prevent injuries, especially when working on projects around your home which are the cause of more than 40 percent of eye injuries. When enjoying the outdoors, always wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to block harmful ultraviolet rays. Some changes to your vision as you age should be expected, but don’t assume all vision loss is caused by getting older. Take steps to preserve your sight and reduce your risk of age-related eye diseases and conditions so you can see well for your lifetime. vJULIE LEYDELMEYER
