Many people involved in the theatre have experienced similar experiences as they were drawn into all the aspects of acting and directing. I’ve known Chris Serface since he joined the Rotary Club of Tacoma #8. Chris shared an early involvement, “The first experience that I remember of being on stage in a theatrical way was […]
To Ponder
Meet Local Actor Brad Cerenzia
Brad lives in South Park, no . . . not the one in Colorado like the cartoon show, but just south of downtown Seattle. Brad says, “I’ve lived in Washington all my life. Moved to Seattle from my farm in eastern WA when I was 16 to pursue my big dreams. :-)” Brad got his […]
Election/Ballot Decision
Submitted by Richard Mercier. It is terribly unfortunate that this decision had to be made by the editor. However, I’m not surprised. Our country has been taken over by those who feel their opinions are the only opinion and any other point of view is not only not welcome but is attacked. One day soon […]
Taking, DuPont’s Future
Submitted by John Colvin. No, the title is not a grammatical error; and yes, it is a play on words. With the comma in place, taking is a noun. However, removing the comma, taking becomes a verb. Therefore, this little play on words is quite effective as a taking could be in DuPont’s future and […]

That one detail told me more about you than any of your campaign literature and cost […]
Learning from the past
Pierce County Executive, Bruce Dammeier blog post. Back in February I decided to dive into a well-regarded series on the U.S. Navy in World War II – Ian W. Toll’s “The Pacific War Trilogy.” Toll goes beyond the traditional look at the people, strategy and tactics of the battles. He gives important context by delving […]
Conspiracies, the Devil, and Nino Vaccaro
Submitted by Dave Zink. Ballots are out, and as a Steilacoom resident I’m interested in knowing about the candidates for Mayor. Dick Muri is a long-time resident of Steilacoom and has been very active in our community. I feel I know him pretty well. His opponent, Nino Vaccaro, on the other hand, is relatively new […]
World Polio Day is Oct. 24
Submitted by Claudia Ellsworth, Rotary Club of University Place-Fircrest. A day to celebrate the near eradication of an international disease that has affected millions. Polio, as some may remember, was called “infantile paralysis” in an earlier time. That’s because polio: Affects mainly children under the age of 5. Is highly contagious and those infected show no […]
