Know before you go: Attending
the US Open at Chambers Bay
Preparation is the key to enjoying the biggest major
sporting event ever hosted in the South Sound
BY KARI PLOG
Staff writer
The U.S. Open at Chambers Bay will be the biggest major sporting
event ever hosted in the South Sound, and for first-time
championship spectators, it may be overwhelming.
The United States Golf Association predicts the event in
University Place will attract more than 250,000 people, including more
first-timers than ever.
Spectators must locate their appropriate parking lot and shuttles and
pack according to a detailed list of what to bring and what not to bring.
And that’s before they even arrive at the golf course.
Once at the links, it will be fairly easy to wander aimlessly without a
plan of attack.
Even so, to get the most out of the U.S.
Open, spectators should decide ahead of
time what they want to do.
Some may want to follow a particular
golfer or group of golfers through an entire
round. Others may prefer watching rounds
from designated grandstand viewing areas.
Some may prefer to stand at a single hole
as players cycle through. And others might
want to walk the entire course and take
time learning the conditions and how
they’re affecting the players.
Attendees should decide what they’re
most interested in watching, then plan
ahead to better orient themselves upon
arrival at Chambers Bay. Learning the
course and schedules for practice and
championship rounds prior to arrival are
key to efficiency.
USGA officials say viewing along the
rope lines is limited, so those who aren’t
planning to watch up close should use any
of the 18,000 grandstand seats located at
“strategic viewing areas” throughout the
course, according to the association’s
spectator guide.
Seating in those stands will be available
on a first-come, first-served basis, and
policies for using them will be posted at the
entrance of each location.
Reg Jones, U.S. Open championship
senior director, said the trails provide fans a
convenient way to enjoy the course.
“That provides a great amount of
access,” he said.
However, he recommends that
spectators take advantage of the
grandstands if they want vast aerial views.
“That’s where the best viewing is going
to be,” Jones said.
Fans who want to hike the course
should be aware of the challenges,
including frequent slopes and changes in
elevation. Jones said fans must be mindful
of their physical abilities while attending
the Open.
Spectators also should become familiar
with their ticket privileges and know what
they are allowed to access at and around
the golf course.
ETIQUETTE
Chambers Bay isn’t CenturyLink Field.
At a Seattle Seahawks game, football
fans are affectionately called the 12th Man
for their perceived contribution to a game’s
outcome by making noise.
For golf fans, it’s not what they do but
rather what they don’t do that matters.
Unruly, rude, vulgar or drunken behavior,
inappropriate language and jeering from
the gallery are discouraged. Violators may
be removed from the course.
Be courteous to other attendees and
don’t impede on others’ experiences.
Any action that distracts players or
disrupts play may also result in expulsion
for the rest of the championship.
Excessive movement is discouraged to
avoid making unnecessary noise.
Spectators are advised to stand still when
players are addressing the ball, and they’re
encouraged to pay attention to the ball at
all times.
In general, spectators should be self
aware and recognize how their actions
affect golfers, such as casting shadows on
the course.
Listen to the workers and volunteers,
who will be standing on the opposite side
of the ropes helping control crowds.
Don’t ask for autographs during any
practice or championship rounds.
“Spectators should keep in mind that
the player’s first responsibility during U.S.
Open week is to compete for the national
championship,” according to the USGA
spectator guide. “Spectators should not
approach any player for an autograph from
the time a player is en route to his first tee
until the completion of his round.”
Players are not required to sign
autographs, but many do so during the
practice rounds, after they have finished
playing and practicing.
Cellphones have typically been
prohibited at major golf tournaments. But
the USGA has changed its policy this year
to allow some mobile devices with a strict
usage policy.
Spectators may carry mobile devices
smaller than 7 inches in length and height.
All volume controls must be set to silent or
vibrate.
All phone calls must take place in
designated “phone zones” and can’t be
made in areas where golfers may become
distracted or play disrupted. Texting and
email are permissible course-wide so long
as they don’t disrupt the players.
Video and audio recording is prohibited,
and photographs are subject to the USGA’s
camera policy.
Stand-alone cameras will be allowed on
the grounds during practice rounds (June
15-17) and spectators will be allowed to
take photographs, with restrictions, only

Violation of these policies may result in
expulsion and forfeiture of ticket privileges
for the remainder of the championship.
HEALTH, SAFETY, ATTIRE
Chambers Bay will pose unusual
challenges for golfers, with significant
elevation changes and uneven surfaces.
The spectator guide stresses that
attendees be conscious of physical
limitations and wear appropriate footwear.
Planning attire around the weather
conditions is recommended. It can be
difficult to carry extra items around the
course, so rain coats may be a more
convenient option than umbrellas for
staying dry in inclement weather. For fans
who use umbrellas, it’s important to avoid
blocking views of nearby spectators.
Comfortable shoes and clothing are
advised; drinking plenty of fluids is
recommended to stay hydrated.

A wide range of services will be offered
to attendees with disabilities, including

USGA officials urge spectators to dispose
of trash, recyclables and tobacco products
in the proper containers as outlined in the
spectator guide.
OUTSIDE THE ROPES
Fans can also soak in the U.S. Open
experience off the course.
Those who couldn’t snag tickets can still
take home a piece of U.S. Open
merchandise from an on-site pavilion
several days before the championship
begins.
No ticket is necessary Friday (June 12) -
Sunday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. to enter the
merchandise pavilion. The golf course will
be closed to the public during those days.
Ticket holders can access the
41,000-square-foot space throughout the
event. It will be located at the U.S. Open
Spectator Square along with the American
Express Championship Experience and the
Lexus Performance Drive Pavilion, which
will include autograph signings,
photographs with the U.S. Open trophy and
interactive golf experiences.
A series of events geared toward fans will
be held before and during the U.S. Open,
building momentum ahead of the
championship.
Those will include the U.S. Open for All
Fan Experience Wednesday-June 21 at
South Lake Union Park near downtown
Seattle. Admission is free and will include a
live broadcast of the tournament, official
U.S. Open merchandise sales and
interactive exhibits.
Acceptable forms of payment for items at
the golf course include cash, traveler’s
checks, American Express, Discover,
MasterCard, Visa and debit cards.

for US Open ticket fraud
Potential ticket buyers will see a premium price with limited resale-ticket inventory
BY ADAM LYNN AND BRYNN GRIMLEY
Staff writers
It’s a warning that’s been around for
about as long as human beings have
engaged in commerce.
Let the buyer beware.
In light of this year’s Super Bowl ticket
troubles, it bears repeating as the U.S. Open
at Chambers Bay nears, and as fans go to
the Internet in search of tickets to the
sold-out championship rounds.
Officials from the USGA and the
Washington state Attorney General’s Office
said people can’t be too careful when
buying tickets from so-called “secondary
markets” such as Craigslist and ticket resale
websites.
“Our advice: Don’t use third-party
vendors because we simply can’t guarantee
the tickets are authentic until they are
scanned via their unique barcode on site,”
said Janeen Driscoll, public relations
director for the USGA.
Peter Lavallee of the Attorney General’s
Office offers advice that is a bit less dire.
Lavallee said his office encourages people
to use sources they trust, or, if using a new
site, to research its reputation before
forking over money for tickets. The Better
Business Bureau is one source of
information, he said.
“I think in light of lessons from the Super
Bowl, try to get tickets in hand as far in
advance of the event as you can,” Lavallee
said. “For people who aren’t in the
immediate area, I would not book travel or
hotel without knowing you have tickets in
hand.”
Those Super Bowl lessons were tough.
Several people, including some from
Pierce County, shelled out thousands of
dollars to ticket resellers that were unable
to deliver tickets. Some folks didn’t learn
they’d be without tickets until the last
minute, when they’d already traveled to
Arizona and checked into their hotels.
The state Attorney General’s Office in
February sued one ticket reseller, SBTickets
of New York, alleging violations of the
state’s Consumer Protection Act.
Unlike the NFL, the USGA does not have
a relationship with a resale vendor, Driscoll
said.
“We haven’t had nearly the same
problems as other sporting events just
because we protect that process to the best
of our ability,” she said.
Tickets to the Thursday-June 21
championship rounds of the 2015 U.S. Open
— a weeklong event that will be played at
the University Place golf course — sold out
in February. The USGA made 30,000 tickets
per day available for those rounds.
Almost immediately, some people began
advertising tickets on sites such as Craigslist
and StubHub, usually at a premium.
StubHub spokesman Cameron Papp said
interest in the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay is
high, likely because this will be the first one
held in the Pacific Northwest in the event’s
120-year history.
Traffic for U.S. Open tickets also got a
bump after the Masters golf tournament,
which saw 21-year-old Jordan Spieth score a

surprising win, and elite golfer Tiger Woods’
announcement that he intends to play the
event, Papp said.
“A ticket to this year’s event also is more
expensive than last year,” he said.
Inventory is relatively low, however. Papp
said major golf events do not generate as
much resale as the Super Bowl or NBA
Finals, for example.
Papp also advised consumers to use
resale sites they trust to purchase tickets.
He encouraged people with tickets to
refrain from posting photographs of them
on social media sites to help discourage
counterfeiting.
All U.S. Open tickets are “hard tickets,”
meaning there are no electronic versions
that can be downloaded or printed, he said.
“Security is pretty high with those, which
is good for fans,” Papp said.

A fleet of 290 buses — from luxury
coaches to the yellow school variety —
will provide free transportation to U.S.
Open spectators from parking areas in
Puyallup and Lakewood to the Chambers
Bay golf course.
Organizers will use the vehicles to get
golf fans from the Washington State
Fairgrounds in Puyallup and Fort
Steilacoom Park in Lakewood to the
University Place course.
University Place public works director
Gary Cooper said the USGA has secured
buses of all kinds, including contracting
with private motor coach providers and
some school districts.
“They’ve drawn those buses in from
everywhere,” said Cooper, who worked
with USGA officials to help draft the
transportation plan. “It’s a great plan.”

Department of Transportation said road
construction projects will be halted or

traffic congestion expected during the
event.
That includes two big projects on
Interstate 5 through Tacoma, where
contractors are expected to keep freeway
lanes open from Friday (June 12) - June
23, said Cara Mitchell, a spokeswoman for
the state Department of Transportation.
Parking in and around Chambers Bay
will be severely restricted. University
Place officials also will close some streets
near the course, including Grandview
Drive West, Cooper said.
USGA officials hope spectators will use
the free parking and shuttle service.
Shuttles will run continuously beginning
at 5:30 a.m. each day of the
championship, including the
Monday-through-Wednesday practice
rounds. The last shuttle will leave the golf
course one hour after play ends each day.
Spectators will be encouraged to use
parking facilities based on the geographic
area from which they are traveling.
Between the two sites, more than 21,000
parking spots will be available, the USGA
said.

Lakewood police Lt. Chris Lawler
referred questions about traffic control to
USGA officials.
While there will be no spectator
parking at the golf course, there will be a
drop-off zone at Sunset Primary School,
with access off Beckonridge Drive. Only
12-passenger or smaller vehicles will be
allowed to use the drop-off zone, the
USGA said. There also will be parking for
bicycles at the school. No bikes will be
allowed through the gates at the event.
The walk from the school to the golf
course should take 5-10 minutes.
“Parking restrictions surrounding the
championship grounds and within the
city of University Place will be closely
monitored and enforced,” the USGA said
in a news release.

Fescue.
Learn the word, and prepare yourself to hear it more than you
could ever imagine if you’re going to pay attention to the U.S. Open
coming to University Place next week.
Fescue is the name of the grass prevalent at Chambers Bay, the 18 holes of
scenic hell that will test the world’s greatest players in America’s national
championship.
Professional golfers aren’t accustomed to playing on a fescue surface, nor on links-style
dune courses this side of the British Isles. And they’ve never seen a U.S. Open course this

From 6
long, nor one anywhere close to this corner
of the country.
These unique qualities will draw a
viewing constituency broader than those
who tune in every weekend, so a primer is
in order for those still learning their poa
annua from creeping bentgrass.
Chambers Bay is atypical in so many
ways. Opens are customarily held at
established, traditional country clubs.
Chambers is a public course and
county-owned. It’s a course you can play on,
and a tournament you can actually play in,
if you could make it through qualifying
rounds.
It is further unheard of for a course to be
hosting a major tournament just eight years
after its opening. Before the 2007 opening,
the land was a derelict gravel quarry, a
post-industrial eyesore that overlooked
resort-quality views.
Some county visionaries sold the idea of
using public funds to build a course that
would attract big-time tournaments. The
site alone couldn’t do it. The course had to
be unique, and the sandy soil along the
Tacoma Narrows seemed appropriate for a
golf links.
You’ll hear “links” as often as “fescue.” It’s
the kind of place where Scottish shepherds
first used crooked sticks to coax dried sheep
dung into rabbit holes. They typically were
on sandy terrain on the banks of stormy
and unpredictable waters, and covered by
untended sea grasses sparsely grown across
the dunes.
When asked his interest in developing
the site, course designer Robert Trent Jones
Jr. first wanted to know about the wind.
There had to be wind. Lots of wind.
He was asked if he’d ever seen the video
from 1940 showing a bridge quivering and
collapsing in a gale. Well, that’s where we
are.
“OK, that’ll do,” he responded.
But most links courses don’t have the
terrain of Chambers Bay, which climbs from
the beach up the side of the cliff
overlooking the Sound. The walk is such
that fitness could become a factor
separating contenders on the final 18 holes
on Father’s Day.
Because of the swales and ridges of the
dunes, the course forces golfers to use
creative techniques. They often can’t use the
high approach to the pin because the greens
won’t hold the ball, so they must hit the ball
along the ground and ride the contours of
the aprons and greens. And hope the fescue
rolls true.
Yes, the fescue will be an issue. It’s called
“fine fescue,” to be exact. It has a dormant
period in the winter and is hard to
maintain. American professionals are
accustomed to the thick, lush fairways and
perfect greens of traditional courses. Some
will not find fescue to their liking.
Chambers is spread across 230 acres,
compared to the 87 acres of Scotland’s St.
Andrews. But that’s hardly 230 acres of
playable surface. Much of it is considered
“waste area.”
These are places that are left as they were
in the days when Fred Flintstone worked at
the quarry. They are not strictly hazards or
bunkers, just rocky, forbidding places from
which to mine a golf ball.
You also might wish to learn some of the
phrases that golfers will be heard saying to
their golf balls while challenging Chambers.
For instance:
■ Bite: This will be shouted at the golf
ball when it is heading straight toward a
pin even though the golfer knows it will hit
hard and end up closer to Fox Island than
the cup.
■ Get legs: This is a plea for the ball to
reach the fairway while flying over the vast
waste areas.
■ Be right: This is in the hope that an
approach shot will land on the tiny sweet
spot on the green that will not reject it.
An example: In a test-run for this Open,
Chambers played host to the U.S. Amateur
in 2010. On the first hole, earnest amateurs
fired their drives into Position A on the
fairway and lofted their approaches in the
typical lawn-dart style, high, with backspin,
close to the flagstick.
And one after another, they watched
their golf balls funnel off the green and end
up a full wedge shot away from the cup.
Many of them, at the time, screamed
“Fescue!”
Or at least it sounded something like
“Fescue.”
To avoid that, they’ll hit bump-and-run
chips, or even use the putter from the
fairway. On some holes, the smart ones will
intentionally hit to it a sidehill, or off an
incline at the back of the green, and play
the roll, the bounce, the ricochet. The
nightly highlights will entertain.
The thought, then, is that those who will
contend in this tournament are those with
some creative vision, while those who fail
will be the stubborn who attempt to play
Chambers as if it were Oakmont or Winged
Foot.
And those who struggle, whose golf balls
refuse to bite or get legs at the appropriate
time, will turn accusatory eyes toward their
caddies, who not only shoulder the bags,
but also the blame for the pros’ errant shots.
It will make fantastic theater, on a
unique stage.
What got this place in the rotation far
sooner than expected was not only its
unusual qualities, but the stunning views
that will be broadcast to the world every
day.
There’s only one tree on the course, and it
will be the most televised tree in golf
history.
And late in the rounds, the evening June
sun will show golden across the stark
terrain, and the remnant gravel bunkers
alongside No. 18 fairway will cast shadows
like something the Druids created.
It will be a test of golf unlike any other.
Certainly the best show on fescue.

Grandview, 2
other streets

BY ADAM LYNN
Staff writer
University Place will close parts of three
city streets to general traffic during this
month’s U.S. Open, including Grandview
Drive West along the east side of Chambers
Bay golf course.
Detour routes will be marked to divert
drivers who usually take Grandview. A total
of 89 residents whose only access to their
homes is off Grandview will receive passes
that allow them to continue to use the
street, said Gary Cooper, public works
director for University Place.
Otherwise, Grandview will be restricted
to official U.S. Open
traffic, including fan

shuttles, from the
evening of June 14
until June 22. The
restrictions will be in
place 24 hours per
day.
City and United
States Golf
Association officials
agreed to close
Grandview and parts
of two other streets
as a “safety issue and
a security issue,”
Cooper said.
The closures are:
■ Cirque Drive West between
Bristonwood Drive West and Grandview.
■ Grandview between 48th
Street/Bristonwood and 64th Street West.
■ 64th Street West between Chambers
Creek Road West and Grandview.
City officials are warning residents to
expect traffic congestion in other parts of
the city during the U.S. Open, which runs
June 15-21.
In neighboring Steilacoom, the Town
Council adopted parking restrictions for
June, limiting to two hours parking in
much of the town’s historic district and “on
any street or road within town that is not
signed otherwise,” records show.

CRAIG HILL Staff writer
Physical therapist Trevor Pettingill finds plenty of uneven terrain at Chambers Bay. Slopes like these will be off-limits to spectators during the U.S.
Open, but Pettingill says spectators should still be prepared for walking on uneven ground.
Be prepared for hilly
walk at Chambers Bay
Undulating layout at
Chambers Bay will
present challenges for fans
attending US Open;
appropriate shoes a must
BY CRAIG HILL | Staff writer
As we finished our round at Chambers Bay in late April, I found
myself face down in the fairway fescue eating my words.
As the U.S. Open approached I was mystified by all the chatter
about how hard it will be for players and fans to walk the course.
“It’s going to favor the younger golfers,” Fox sportscaster Joe Buck said.
See WALK, 11

WALK
From 10
“It’s more of a hike than a walk,”
Chambers Bay general manager Matt Allen
said.
How hard could it really be, I thought. If
you can hit the ball straight, a round-trip at
Chambers Bay is 6 1 ⁄2 miles with 1,000
vertical feet of climbing.
On the 1-to-5 scale The Mountaineers
outdoor education organization uses to rate
hike difficulties, it would most likely score a
3. “Moderate: A good workout, but no real
problems.”
So, I decided to run a little experiment. I
rounded up playing partners with various
fitness levels and headed to Chambers Bay to
see what kind of toll the course would take.
My foursome: Stacia Glenn, 33, the
undisputed fittest reporter at The News
Tribune and an avid outdoor athlete who’s
climbed multiple 20,000-foot peaks. Scott
Oberstaller, 61, a News Tribune copy editor
who describes himself as being “in golf
shape.” And Trevor Pettingill, 38, owner of
Elite Physical Therapy and participant in the
2004 Olympic Trials for the marathon.
I’d serve as the guy in the middle. The one
in decent shape, but with a sketchy back and
knees.
Oberstaller and Pettingill golf regularly.
Oberstaller usually expects to break 90.
Pettingill is happy to break 100. Glenn and I
don’t play. I hadn’t played in at least two
years. This was Glenn’s first round.
But golf prowess was beside the point. I
wanted to know how they’d feel after the
round. Three of us carried our bags.
Oberstaller used a push cart.
We weren’t particularly fast, but we
weren’t slow, either. We finished our round
in 4 hours, 40 minutes, right at the pace
Allen likes to see golfers play the course.
Not bad, I thought, considering some of us
weren’t exactly hitting the ball straight. I ran
a GPS-tracking app during my round and
found I chased my ball 8 miles around the
6 1 ⁄2-mile course.
The course undulates with plenty of uphill
to test your fitness and downhill to test your
knees. The walk from the third green to the
fourth tee is enough of a climb that course
marshals offered to shuttle us in a golf cart.
We declined.
“If you’re not in good shape, that’s going to
exhaust you. That’s a pretty good climb,”
Pettingill said.
He and Glenn weren’t even breathing
heavy on the hill. Oberstaller was, but it
didn’t affect his game.
In fact, moments later Oberstaller
scrambled up a dune and was breathing
heavily as he examined a terrible lie. He

calmed his breathing
then lofted the ball
onto the green to set
up a par putt. He’d
do this on several
occasions.
Oberstaller wasn’t
particularly happy
with the 94 he shot,
but it was the best Scott Oberstaller
score in our group, 11
strokes ahead of
Pettingill. I shot 120.
Glenn didn’t keep
score.
The course
affected us each
differently.
For Glenn, it was
little more than a
warmup. That
evening she went Trevor Pettingill
rock climbing near
North Bend, followed
by a trail run up
Rattlesnake Ridge.
Pettingill, who
usually limits his
rounds to nine holes
in the interest of
time, worked a full
shift that afternoon.
He was surprised the Stacia Glenn
next morning to find
he had a sore hip
flexor.
Oberstaller said he was tired that evening
but otherwise felt fine.
I, on the other hand, was face down on the
fairway by the final hole. The combination of
the uneven weight of my golf bag draped
over my right shoulder and swinging clubs
for the first time in two years had aggravated
my surgically repaired back.
I dropped to the fairway to do a press up
(think cobra pose in yoga), an exercise
Pettingill recommended for relieving the
pain. I was so stiff, Pettingill placed his foot
on my lower back so my form would be
correct. (It was about this time PGA pro Brad
Faxon started making his way up the fairway.
As he passed, he gave me an inquisitive look.)
The pain relented enough for me to go on
a short bike ride that evening, but it wasn’t
completely gone for a few days.
I was surprised to be taken down by the
pretty course and gentle game. Suddenly, the
idea of doing this every day for a week —
even just walking the course as a spectator —
seemed a little harder than I expected.
Pettingill wasn’t surprised, however. When
it comes to handling the course, what our
bodies are used to doing is as much a factor
as our fitness levels, he said.
So it make sense that Glenn wouldn’t have
problems. She spends much of her spare
time hiking with a heavy pack for long
distances and over hilly terrain. And it makes
sense that Pettingill, playing twice as many
holes as he’s accustomed to, had a sore hip
flexor.
And while Oberstaller may have been
tired because he’s only in golf shape, it turns
out that when you’re playing golf, that’s good
enough.
Pettingill said he expects the course to
affect people in a variety of ways during the
U.S. Open, too.
“I don’t think it will be a problem for the
pro golfers because this is what they do,”
Pettingill said. “Fans not used to walking
might feel a little challenged.”
Craig Hill: 253-597-8497
A GOOD WALK
UNSPOILED
Golf asks more of its fans than most
sports. Football or basketball fans aren’t
typically required to do anything more
physically demanding than find their
seats. Golf fans, however, might walk as
far (or farther) than the players, depending
on how they choose to watch the
tournament.
Chambers Bay is especially demanding.
Following your favorite player around the
entire course would be a 6 1 ⁄2-mile walk
with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain,
course general manager Matt Allen said.
The U.S. Open’s official spectator guide
states: “Be conscious of your physical
limitations.”
“If you don’t do a lot of walking, you
probably want to take a few walks over
rolling hills to get ready,” Trevor Pettingill,
owner of Elite Physical Therapy,
said last month.
With practice rounds set to start Monday,
there’s not really enough time left to
get in shape for a week of walking the
undulating course, but here are some
other tips for making the U.S. Open more
enjoyable:
PICK A HOLE: Nobody said you have to
walk the entire course or follow your
favorite golfer. “I would suggest picking
a few spots you can walk back and forth
between,” Pettingill said, “especially if
you are going to be out there four day in
a row.”
There are 18,000 grandstand seats, Allen
said, “so you only have to walk as far as
you want to.”
FIND SHADE: “You might make one of
those (viewing) spots near a tent where
you can get out of the sun for a little bit,”
Pettingill said. And don’t forget the
sunscreen, Allen said.
HYDRATE: “You need to have plenty of
fluid on a hot day,” Pettingill said. “Exerting
yourself on those hills, you’re going
to run out of energy a little faster and get
dehydrated a little faster.”
GOOD FOOTWEAR: The uneven ground of
Chambers Bay is a bad place for heels,
flip flops and unsupportive footwear. The
first safety recommendation in the
spectator guide states: “Be sure to wear
appropriate footwear.”

AVOID FAKE
SOUVENIRS
Friday, June 12, 2015 • Thenewstribune.com/Entertainment
Northwest sports fans should be used to
warnings about counterfeit souvenirs
after the Seahawks’ recent trips to the
Super Bowl.
Counterfeit apparel and accessories was
the No. 1 seized item in 2012, according
to U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
And NFL gear is one of the most
counterfeited types of apparel.
The biggest issue with golf is counterfeit
equipment.
Still, the U.S. Customs and the USGA
offer a few tips to avoid purchasing
counterfeits:
■ Only purchase U.S. Open merchandise
from its official stores and its online
store, usgashop.com.
■ People selling merchandise outside
the event are most likely not selling
official merchandise, said Mary Lopuszynski
of the USGA. “We don’t do that,”
she said.
■ Beware of flashy websites designed to
trick people into purchasing counterfeits.
Andrew Munoz, spokesman for U.S.
Immigration and Custom Enforcement in
the Northwest, recommends studying
the websites first. They often have hints
such as pages that aren’t completely
built, poor grammar, contact emails with
generic domain names such as gmail-
.com and hotmail.com.
■ If items ship directly from China it
should be a red flag, Munoz said.
■ Counterfeit sites will pay for ads on
search engines so don’t assume the top
results and the advertised results are
legitimate, Munoz said.
■ And beware of scams on even reputable
auction websites such as eBay. One
common scam, Munoz said, is after
bidding on an item you’re informed you
just missed or the winning bidder backed
out. The seller then asks for you to pay
directly for the item bypassing the buyer
protection services provided by eBay and
PayPal. Never do this, Munoz says.
“It’s buyer beware,” Munoz said. “As the
customers get savvier, so do the counterfeiters.”

The palatial U.S. Open merchandise tent has already been erected at Chambers Bay and it’s bigger than the one at last year’s tournament in Pinehurst,
North Carolina. The 41,000 square-foot tent is 2,000 square-feet larger because the USGA decided to add 10 more cash registers to reduce lines.
US Open a souvenir bonanza
Hats, T-shirts and jackets
are among the variety of
merchandise available
BY CRAIG HILL
Staff writer
The United States Golf Association
expects to sell enough hats at the U.S. Open
to cover the heads of all 32,000 University
Place residents three times.
Hats tend to be the most popular
souvenir at the U.S. Open golf tournament,
said USGA merchandise director Mary
Lopuszynski, and 100,000 are expected to be
sold. The merchandise tent opened at
Chambers Bay on Thursday.
“They’re always popular items,”
Lopuszynski said of the $27-$32 hats. “You
don’t have to know somebody’s size to get
them a hat.”
Judging by the excitement percolating
regarding the South Sound’s first major golf
tournament, Lopuszynski is expecting
merchandise sales to break par at the U.S.
Open.
She forecasts selling 80,000 golf shirts
($39-80), 25,000 towels ($16-22), 40,000 ball
markers ($2) and numerous other souvenirs.
“And we are trying to cover every price
point,” said Lopuszynski, who says the most
expensive merchandise will include $400
jackets and $500 pieces of golf art.
THE VENUE
The palatial U.S. Open merchandise tent
has already been erected at Chambers Bay
and it’s bigger than the one at last year’s
tournament in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
The 41,000 square-foot tent is 2,000
square-feet larger because the USGA decided
to add 10 more cash registers to reduce lines.
The tent opened for shopping Thursday,
four days before the first practice round.
Friday through Sunday will be the only time
visitors can shop there without a ticket for
the event.
The USGA typically sells 5,000-7,000
items during this four-day window, but
Lopuszynski expects to sell even more this
year.
“I’ve heard so much from the community
about how excited they are,” Lopuszynski
said. “I expect it to be one of our best
(pre-tournament sales).”
Busy as it may be, it could also prove to
be one of the best times to shop. As the week
moves on, it will only get more crowded.
On the final two days of the tournament,
it’s not uncommon for the doors to be closed
regularly while the event staff waits for the
crowd to thin out.
‘EXCLUSIVITY’
Unlike other major sporting events such

as the Super Bowl in which local stores can
be flooded with souvenirs, the USGA will
limit where people can buy U.S. Open
souvenirs.
Your options: The venue’s merchandise
tent, a small selection of Ralph Lauren shirts
at Macy’s and the event’s online store
(usgashop.com).
Why the limitation?
“We just try to keep it more special, for
those coming to the U.S. Open,” Lopuszynski
said. “More exclusive.”
And don’t expect a slashing-prices,
everything-must-go sale on June 22, the day
after the tournament.
“We’re only going to be open (June 22) if
there’s a playoff,” Lopuszynski said.
12’S, COUGS & UW
Lopuszynski has worked for the USGA for
21 years and says the Northwest’s passion for
their local sports teams is at a level higher
than most areas who’ve hosted U.S. Opens.
Fans of the Seahawks, University of
Washington and Washington State University
caught the USGA’s attention as they planned
merchandise for the event.
“So you will find merchandise that is
purple and crimson and blue and lime
green,” Lopuszynski said.
LET IT RAIN
From $3 plastic backpacks to $400
Gortex jackets, there will be plenty of
merchandise designed to keep fans dry.
Much more of these items than most U.S.
Opens.

led to a drastic shift in the way the USGA
will stock the souvenir tent.
Most years, the USGA stocks one piece
of outerwear for every eight shirts. At
Chambers Bay it will be closer to one
piece of outerwear for every two shirts.
“We’re shifting to what it (weather) will
likely be,” Lopuszynski said.
She says the USGA made a similar shift
at the 2012 tournament in San Francisco.
There, it was concerned more about
cooler temperatures than precipitation
and Lopuszynski said it stocked one piece
of outerwear for approximately every
three shirts.
LOCAL COMPANIES
Lopuszynski says the USGA tries to
bring local companies into the fold when
it comes to U.S. Open merchandise.
Seattle-based Cutter & Buck and
Oregon-based Nike already gave the USGA a
strong tie to the Northwest. But some smaller
Northwest companies will also find a spot in
the merchandise tent.
Seattle’s Blowing Sands will make
blown-glass souvenirs with the U.S. Open
logo. Lopuszynski says items will range from
$25 ornaments to $200 vases.
Beaverton’s Seamus Golf will sell ball
markers ($20) and golf club head covers ($79)
that buyers can have personalized at no
additional charge, Lopuszynski said.
THE KIDS
Merchandise for children has proven to
be one of the fastest-growing categories of
U.S. Open souvenirs,
Lopuszynski said.
WHERE TO BUY
■ The main
merchandise
pavilion is open
to all from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m.

■ The main

secondary tent

Little golf shirts
(“They are adorable,”
Lopuszynski said) go

Perhaps the most
popular item for kids is
the $12 over-sized
rubber golf balls
manufactured by
Renton-based Baden
Sports. The balls can be

commonly, as an item

CONVENIENCE
SHOPPING
Lopuszynski says the
tournament will offer
several perks for shoppers. A bag check area
will allow them to stow their purchases so
they don’t have to lug them around the hilly
course.

Fox on-air talent roster goes 30 deep
BY CRAIG HILL
Staff writer
Fox Sports estimates it will need
about 430 people to broadcast the
U.S. Open from Chambers Bay golf
course in University Place. Most of
those people will be behind the
scenes, but 30 names have been
announced as the faces and voices of
the national broadcast.
“We think we have a really strong,
diverse group of announcers from
across the broad spectrum of the
sport, and the audience will be
well-served by their unique
perspectives,” producer Mark Loomis
said.
JOE BUCK
Fox Sports’ top announcer, Buck has called
World Series and Super Bowls and jumped at
the chance to add golf to his résumé. “I’m a
big Joe Buck fan,” Loomis said. Buck might be
one of the most polarizing announcers in sports,
but he plays golf better than most. His handicap
index is 2 and he shot a 75 when he played
Chambers Bay last summer.
GREG NORMAN
The golf icon known as The Shark joins Buck as
a lead announcer at the U.S. Open. He won two
British Opens and finished second at least twice
at each of the other majors, including the 1984
and 1995 U.S. Opens. He spent 331 weeks as the
top-ranked golfer in the world. Norman also
designs golf courses.

analyst. “He’s one of golf’s great tacticians,”
Loomis said. “He’ll offer great perspective.”
BRAD FAXON
Loomis talked Faxon out of playing in the U.S.
Senior Open so he could help with Fox’s
coverage of USGA events. Faxon will be a tower
announcer and studio analyst.
STEVE FLESCH
The pro golfer, who played against Loomis in
college at the 1989 SEC championship (Flesch
played for Kentucky and Loomis was at
Vanderbilt), will be a tower announcer. He has
worked for the Golf Channel. “He’s one of the
first people I called,” Loomis said.
SHANE O’DONOGHUE
The former CNN and Golf Channel host has
experience covering golf majors and will work

finished 10th at three majors: the Masters, U.S.

Loomis said. “He knows everybody.” He’ll be an
on-course reporter at Chambers Bay.
DAVID FAY

as Fox’s rules analyst.

announcer for Fox’s digital coverage.

at Chambers Bay for Fox’s digital coverage.

You parked
already, so why
not eat there?
Options from frugal to fancy are
near lots in Puyallup, Lakewood
BY SUE KIDD | Staff writer
Parking is expected to be very limited in
University Place during the U.S. Open, which is
why the United States Golf Association will
employ nearly 300 shuttles to ferry thousands
of visitors from two main shuttle areas in
Lakewood and Puyallup. Chances are, you’ll
need to source a meal or two around the
shuttle areas. I’ve mapped restaurants located
within about a mile or two of each shuttle site.

recommendations for the greater Tacoma area

KOREAN DINING DISTRICT
About 4 miles from the park, find a
grouping of more than a dozen Korean
restaurants, not far from the intersection
of South Tacoma Way and Steilacoom
Boulevard.
Try your hand at grill-your-own Korean
barbecue at these tabletop stops:
Gangnam BBQ has the most spacious
tables and attractive dining room (9104
South Tacoma Way; 253-581-1200 or
gangnambbq.net, $$-$$$); O-bok is the
most traditional (8600 South Tacoma Way;
253-582-6713, $$-$$$); and Cham Garden
is actually an all-you-can-eat Korean
barbecue buffet (10518 South Tacoma Way;
253-584-2287, $$).
Find one-stop Korean dining in the food
court at the Paldo World grocery store. In
addition to traditional Korean, you’ll find
Chinese and Japanese restaurants in the
food court. At the front of the store, find a
French-Korean bakery called Boulangerie
(9701 South Tacoma Way; 253-581-7800,
$-$$$). Also at the mall are two
outstanding lunch and dinner
destinations. Tacoma Szechuan is the
region’s finest Chinese restaurant, with a
menu filled with fire and garlic, and hot
pot, too (9601 South Tacoma Way;
253-581-0102 or
tacomaszechuanchinese.com, $-$$$). Next
door, Cho Dang Tofu specializes in the
Korean soft tofu soup soon dubu (9701
South Tacoma Way; 253-682-1968 , $-$$).

Come for
golf, stay for
much more
There’s a whole row of museums
and a snow-capped volcano
awaiting visitors with free time
BY ROSEMARY PONNEKANTI
Staff writer
In town for the U.S. Open but have some spare
time? Here’s our list of what you should see while
you’re in the South Puget Sound.
WALK DOWNTOWN: PUBLIC ART, BREWERIES AND MORE
Nothing gives you the feel for a city better than walking,
and Tacoma’s downtown — thanks to a cultural and
architectural renaissance a decade ago — makes for great
exploration on foot. First stop: Pick up one of the city’s six
walking maps at Downtown On the Go (950 Pacific Ave.,
Suite 300), various downtown businesses or at
tourpup.com/walktacoma/tours. Different routes will take
you around our historic theaters, breweries, parks and
landmarks, like the elegant landscaping of Wright Park, the
castle-like Stadium High School or the up-and-coming
university district. Scheduled free walk: Architecture Walk
with deputy mayor and architect David Boe; noon-1 p.m.
and 5:15-6:30 p.m. June 17; starts at Wells Fargo Plaza, South
12th Street and Pacific Avenue. Includes the theater district
on Broadway at South 9th Street on Thursdays from 10
a.m.-2 p.m. for the weekly farmers market.
Or create your own walking tour around the city’s
plentiful public art: murals, sculptures, Dale Chihuly glass
art and more. Visit tacomaculture.org for an interactive
map; temporary indoor installations and creative
storefronts can be found at spaceworkstacoma.com.
MUSEUM DISTRICT: CARS, GLASS AND COWBOYS
What do vintage cars, art glass and Western art all have in
common? They’re all on show in Tacoma’s museum district,
where four world-class museums are within a mile of each
other, accessible by foot or light rail. At the Tacoma Art
Museum, contemporary Northwest art sits side by side with
the new Haub Western art wing (1701 Pacific Ave., Tacoma;
10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursdays;
$14/$12/free for under-6 and 5-8 p.m. third Thursdays;

DAY TRIPS: EXPLORING THE SOUTH
SOUND
If you have a whole day to spare, try these
explorations farther afield.
Mount Rainier: If you have just one day
free, this is the one trip to make. Around
two-and-a-half hours drive out of Chambers
Bay, our local snow-capped volcano is a
destination for early-summer wildflowers,
glacier hiking, wildlife spotting and
unbeatable mountain views. From
Interstate-5 take state Route 512 east, then
state Route 7 to the Nisqually entrance.
Along the way you can admire the tiny
Lutheran historic church at Elbe, the

is a postcard-perfect historical town with
tranquil waterfront parks and friendly cafes.

need a car or bike) to take an early-summer
dip at the Ol’ Swimming Hole, dive into
history at the Johnson Farm Museum or just
go beachcombing.

A fan’s guide to the course
Where to go, when to get there and what to look for next week
Finally, the wait is over.
After years of anticipation, the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay takes place next week and thousands of golf
fans will descend on the city of University Place.
With this being the first Open in the Pacific Northwest, many fans may be wondering how it will all
work logistically at the Pierce County course.
This is golf, after all, not football. There are rules, even for the fans.
Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of answers to several frequently asked questions.
Question: When is the U.S. Open?
Answer: Didn’t you see? We said next
week!
Practice rounds will be played Monday
through Wednesday. The championship
begins Thursday and continues through
June 21. Gates open at 6 a.m.
Q: How do I get tickets?
A: Tickets? Really? You should have
planned a little more in advance.
Tickets for the tournament sold out
months ago, but there are websites such as
stubhub.com and vividseats.com selling
tickets and parking passes at significantly
marked-up prices.
Q: Can I drive to the course?
A: Well, maybe. If you purchased one of
the limited parking passes and are
prepared to sit in traffic, go for it.
Otherwise, it is best to park at one of the
off-site lots and take a shuttle.
Shuttles will run continuously beginning
at 5:30 a.m. each day from the Washington
State Fairgrounds in Puyallup and Fort
Steilacoom Park in Lakewood.
Q: Can I bring my cellphone?
A: Yes, the USGA will allow mobile
devices 7 inches in length and smaller on
the grounds.
But don’t think you’re going to be
snapping photos and chatting up your
loved ones 3 feet from Tiger Woods.
Volume controls must be set to silent or
vibrate at all times.
Calls may only be placed or received
within “Phone Zones” that will be
designated on the grounds.
Spectators may use cellphone or cameras
to take photographs during the practice
rounds but at no other time, and audio and
video recording is prohibited at all times.
Q: Can I bring a tablet?
A: No. We said nothing larger than 7
inches. Pay attention.
Q: Outside food?
A: No. Bring lots of money to buy food.
Q: Will there be other stuff to buy?
A: Uh, yeah.
The USGA will operate a
41,000-square-foot merchandise pavilion
near Spectator Square and a second
smaller tent near Gate 2. A plethora of
items will be available for purchase,
including clothing, golf balls, towels, ball
markers and more.
Get your credit card ready.
Q: Can I bring my pet dog or cat?
A: No. This tournament is for humans
only.
Q: Signs, posters or banners?
A: No, but thanks for asking. We like the
enthusiasm.
Q: A step stool or a ladder to see over
the crowd?
A: No. Keep your feet firmly on the
ground, please.
Q: Guns, knives or weapons of any
kind?
A: No. Please come in peace.
Q: But what if I have a permit?
A: Sorry, but no.
Q: How about a lawn chair to sit on?
A: No lawn chairs. But you may bring a
small, portable chair with no arms and no
case.
There will also be about 18,000
grandstand seats available on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Q: What kind of disabled access is
there?
A: Lots. A Disabled Services Committee
will be on-site to assist disabled spectators.
For spectators requiring lift-equipped
shuttle transportation, please contact the
USGA Ticket Office at 800-698-0661.

A fan’s guide to the course
Where to go, when to get there and what to look for next week
Finally, the wait is over.
After years of anticipation, the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay takes place next week and thousands of golf
fans will descend on the city of University Place.
With this being the first Open in the Pacific Northwest, many fans may be wondering how it will all
work logistically at the Pierce County course.
This is golf, after all, not football. There are rules, even for the fans.
Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of answers to several frequently asked questions.
Question: When is the U.S. Open?
Answer: Didn’t you see? We said next
week!
Practice rounds will be played Monday
through Wednesday. The championship
begins Thursday and continues through
June 21. Gates open at 6 a.m.
Q: How do I get tickets?
A: Tickets? Really? You should have
planned a little more in advance.
Tickets for the tournament sold out
months ago, but there are websites such as
stubhub.com and vividseats.com selling
tickets and parking passes at significantly
marked-up prices.
Q: Can I drive to the course?
A: Well, maybe. If you purchased one of
the limited parking passes and are
prepared to sit in traffic, go for it.
Otherwise, it is best to park at one of the
off-site lots and take a shuttle.
Shuttles will run continuously beginning
at 5:30 a.m. each day from the Washington
State Fairgrounds in Puyallup and Fort
Steilacoom Park in Lakewood.
Q: Can I bring my cellphone?
A: Yes, the USGA will allow mobile
devices 7 inches in length and smaller on
the grounds.
But don’t think you’re going to be
snapping photos and chatting up your
loved ones 3 feet from Tiger Woods.
Volume controls must be set to silent or
vibrate at all times.
Calls may only be placed or received
within “Phone Zones” that will be
designated on the grounds.
Spectators may use cellphone or cameras
to take photographs during the practice
rounds but at no other time, and audio and
video recording is prohibited at all times.
Q: Can I bring a tablet?
A: No. We said nothing larger than 7
inches. Pay attention.
Q: Outside food?
A: No. Bring lots of money to buy food.
Q: Will there be other stuff to buy?
A: Uh, yeah.
The USGA will operate a
41,000-square-foot merchandise pavilion
near Spectator Square and a second
smaller tent near Gate 2. A plethora of
items will be available for purchase,
including clothing, golf balls, towels, ball
markers and more.
Get your credit card ready.
Q: Can I bring my pet dog or cat?
A: No. This tournament is for humans
only.
Q: Signs, posters or banners?
A: No, but thanks for asking. We like the
enthusiasm.
Q: A step stool or a ladder to see over
the crowd?
A: No. Keep your feet firmly on the
ground, please.
Q: Guns, knives or weapons of any
kind?
A: No. Please come in peace.
Q: But what if I have a permit?
A: Sorry, but no.
Q: How about a lawn chair to sit on?
A: No lawn chairs. But you may bring a
small, portable chair with no arms and no
case.
There will also be about 18,000
grandstand seats available on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Q: What kind of disabled access is
there?
A: Lots. A Disabled Services Committee
will be on-site to assist disabled spectators.
For spectators requiring lift-equipped
shuttle transportation, please contact the
USGA Ticket Office at 800-698-0661.

‘Your headline should be
“Carvey turns 60” ’
Friday, June 12, 2015 • Thenewstribune.com/Entertainment
Comedy veterans Kevin
Nealon and Dennis
Miller join fellow ‘SNL’
alum for Tacoma Dome
show Wednesday
BY CRAIG SAILOR
Staff writer
Comics and veteran
“Saturday Night Live” cast
members Dana Carvey,
Dennis Miller and Kevin
Nealon are bringing their stand-up
comedy to the Tacoma Dome on
Wednesday. All three checked in for
preshow interviews earlier this
month.
Garth is 60. It may be hard for fans of
Dana Carvey to fathom, but the “party on!”
teen is almost eligible for Social Security.
On “Saturday Night Live” in the late
1980s and early 1990s, Carvey created some
of that show’s most memorable characters
including Garth from “Wayne’s World” with
Mike Myers, one half of Hans and Franz
with Kevin Nealon and the eternally
judgmental Church Lady.
“Wayne’s World” was later made into two
successful movies with Myers and Carvey. A
sketch variety show, “The Dana Carvey
Show,” didn’t fare as well when it aired on
ABC in 1996.
Myers and Carey recently reprised
“Wayne’s World” for the “SNL”
40th-anniversary show.
Carvey checked in for an interview from
Los Angeles.
Q: You just turned 60. Is that a sore or
happy subject?
A: I love it. Emphasize that. In fact, your
headline should be “Carvey turns 60.”
Q: Consider it done. You’ve been largely

“Wayne’s World” with Mike Myers and one half of ‘Hans and Franz’ with castmate Kevin Nealon.
out of the public eye the past few years.
Catch us up on your career.
A: Both of my sons, surprisingly, want to
be and are in show business. I raised them
up in the woods in Northern California to
keep them out of show business, ironically.
So, I’ve moved back to L.A. and (I’m)
dedicating myself to mentoring them in
show business. That’s the primary thing
that I do.
Q: What do they do?
A: They do online videos and stand-up
with me and stand-up separately and are
organizing a podcast. My oldest son was in
“Joe Dirt 2,” which is premiering on Crackle.
Q: You are considered one of show biz’s
best impressionists, probably because
your impressions are always funny. Do you
think some impressionists are more
interested in the skill aspect and forget to
make them funny?
A: There are people that are so
comprehensive with their impressions. I
can be accurate but I try to make them
funny. But, I know what you mean. I would
prefer to see something less accurate if it
was really entertaining and funny and says
something about the person you’re doing —
not just a copycat. With George Bush senior,
I said things he never said. I just made stuff
up.

impressions of you doing an impression of
him. Was that a surreal moment for you?
A: The whole thing is surreal — the
relationship we have. I just recorded
something for Barbara’s (Bush) 90th
(birthday). I saw them both in Houston last
year for lunch. Barbara said George really
loves impressions and fancies himself an
impressionist. That was part of their delight
in (Carvey’s impression). He started doing a
pretty decent James Cagney. I would say my
whole existence on the planet is surreal. If
you would have seen me at 20 years old — I
wasn’t going anywhere fast, living near the
airport, playing Risk, being a busboy and
waiter.
Q: Impressions aside, you created
several original characters that have long
endured in pop culture: Garth, Hans,
Church Lady. But were those impressions
as well?
A: Basically, Garth was an impression of
my brother Brad, which was exaggerated.
But, it was a character. Church Lady was a
lot of different authority figures that we
have in our childhood. I’m not quite sure
where that rhythm came from but when
people hear it they recognize it.

‘It’s all solid muscle’
‘Hans and Franz’ actor and ‘SNL’ legend Kevin Nealon
part of comedy tour at the Tacoma Dome
BY CRAIG SAILOR
Staff writer
Kevin Nealon spent nine seasons in the
late 1980s and early 1990s on “Saturday
Night Live,” where he created memorable
characters like Hans and Franz and Mr.
Subliminal, and anchored Weekend Update.
Later, he played the twisted and
oft-stoned accountant Doug Wilson on
Showtime’s “Weeds.” He appears often in
supporting movie roles and produces
“Laugh Lessons” for AOL, where established
comics give comedy lessons to 8-year-olds.
Q: You and Dana Carvey recently
brought back Hans and Franz, with Aaron
Rodgers, for those State Farm ads. Are
people shouting “We’re here to pump you
up” on streets again?
A: Those characters were so popular.
Even space shuttle astronauts were doing
them. But I haven’t heard it that much in
the last decade or so. But since the
commercial came out, you hear it a lot now.
They’re just fun characters to do. And
talking like Arnold (Schwarzenegger) is
always fun.
Q: And you must have spent a lot of
time in the gym putting those muscles
back on?
A: Oh my, yes. A lot of people think that’s
stuffing in those sweatsuits, but it’s all solid
muscle.
Q: You had a long and successful run on
“SNL.” How did you know when it was
time to leave?
A: In the beginning, it was exhilarating.
It was a real rush. But during the eighth
year, I remember going on with food in my
mouth still from the craft services table. I
was picking brownies out of my teeth
during a sketch. It wasn’t the thrill it used
to be.
Q: Your other commercial we’re seeing
a lot is the one for Xarelto with Arnold
Palmer and Brian Vickers. The heart
condition that it treats is something you
really have. I read that you ended up in a
Mexican emergency room?
A: Right. That’s where it all started, in
Puerto Vallarta. Not because it was a dire
situation. It was an irregular heartbeat that
can lead to a stroke caused by a blood clot.
After that Mexico trip, it went away for
seven years. (Nealon had a surgical
procedure in September. The surgery)
“They’re
just fun
characters
to do. And
talking like
Arnold
(Schwarzenegger) is
always fun.”
KEVIN NEALON,
on his Hans and Franz characters
seems to have fixed it and I no longer take
Xarelto. But at the filming of the
commercial, I was taking it.
Q: During the shoot did you get to
spend quality time with Palmer?
A: We ended up sitting around a lot just
talking. Arnold is the King. Very respected.
Laughs a lot. Loves Westerns. I said, “I grew
up watching ‘The Rifleman.’ ” He said
Chuck Connors gave him his rifle. I said I
was golfing in Palm Springs at the PGA
West. He said, “I designed that course.”
Anything I mentioned he had something to
do with it. I said, “I was golfing at that
minigolf course by the freeway.” And he
said, “I designed the windmill.”
Q: Did he give you any golf tips?
A: I said, “Mr. Palmer, can you show me
your putting grips?” And he held his hands
out. They were so weathered. And he went
through an array of different golf grips for
putting.
Q: I understand you have been working
on a few TV pilots?
A: I shot a pilot called “Tommy” for CBS.
That’s with comic Tommy Johnagin. I play
his father. We are waiting to hear back from
AOL to see if they want to do another
season of “Laugh Lessons.” And I’m
shooting a film next week. It’s a small role
in a Judd Apatow produced film called “The
Lonely Island.”
Q: I’m assuming your 8-year-old son
Gable was a motivating factor in the
creation of “Laugh Lessons”?
A: Yes. (Comedian) Garry Shandling was
over at my house three or four years ago,
NBC
Dana Carvey, from left, and Kevin Nealon early in their Saturday Night Live career with one of their
signature sketches of bodybuilders ‘Hans and Franz.’
and he was teaching Gable how to do a
pratfall. I thought it would make a great TV
or Web series: an established comic
teaching 8-year-olds the art of comedy.
Ellen DeGeneres was interested in it, so we
co-produced it together. She was in an
episode as were some of my friends: Adam
Sandler, Sarah Silverman …
Q: Judging from the charities you
support, I’m guessing that you’re an
advocate for animals?
A: I became aware of the plight of
animals through my ex-wife. I still do things
for animals but there’s no more Fur-Free
Friday marches.
Q: Do you have pets at home?
A: No, but we live near the ocean, so we
have a lot of fish.

‘I’m a stand-up comedian’
Friday, June 12, 2015 • Thenewstribune.com/Entertainment
One-time ‘SNL’ anchor
Dennis Miller a political
commentator, too; act
showcases his
observational humor
BY CRAIG SAILOR
Staff writer
Former “Saturday Night Live” performer
Dennis Miller has led a varied and distinctly
different career compared to many of the
show’s alumni.
Though the acerbic Miller resists being
called a conservative, he appears regularly
on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly
Factor” with Bill O’Reilly and has delivered
his opinions on his own radio and TV talk
shows.
Miller even spent a short time as a color
commentator on Monday Night Football.
Along with occasional stand-up
appearances with Kevin Nealon and Dana
Carvey, he also tours with O’Reilly on their
“Don’t Be a Pinhead!” tour.
The newspaper caught up with Miller
from his Santa Barbara, California, base.
Q: How do you describe yourself?
A: I’m a stand-up comedian.
Q: So, not a political commentator?
A: Yeah, sure. That too.
Q: Everything I read about you
describes you as conservative in the
liberal world of entertainment.
A: I think of myself as a pragmatist.
Q: On these tours with Dana and Kevin,
what’s the crowd like compared to the
PHIL KLEIN AP file, 2011
Dennis Miller says as he get older, he likes to travel more. His tour with Dana Carvey and Kevin
Nealon is occasional, and he also tours with Fox political commentator Bill O’Reilly.
audience at the Pinhead tour?
A: Don’t notice any difference.
Q: Are you in between radio shows at
the moment?
A: No, I’ve quit the radio. I’ve quit
practically everything except that I go out
with Dana and Kevin once in a while, and I
do Bill and we go out once in a while. As I
get older, I’d like to travel more.
Q: Out of all the comics you could be
working with, why Kevin and Dana?
A: We were on “Saturday Night Live”
together. We’re dear old friends.
Q: Many consider you the best
Weekend Update anchor of that show. Is
that a career highlight?
A: That’s a very priviliged seat that I was
lucky to have.
Q: In the show here in Tacoma, what
will you entertain audiences with?
A: I do mostly observational humor and
I do mix in one of the facets of life I
observe: politics — sort of the ludicrous
nature of modern life.
Q: What are your current rants?
A: I think I’ll share them on the stage
that night. One of the core topics is that the
country is tense right now and oddly
enough in its open-mindedness, very
close-minded. Eggshells are the new
Linoleum.
Q: Are you saying people are afraid to
speak out or that they get jumped on
when they do?
A: Times are pretty intense in this
country. I think a lot of people sort of lay in
the woods waiting for people to say things.
Q: Did you watch the Super Bowl?
A: The Super Bowl was the one game in
the playoffs I watched and I did enjoy it. I’m
weaning myself off football and returning to
baseball and hockey.
Q: Tom Brady and Deflategate — what’s
your take on that?
A: The overanalysis of the peripherals in
football is one of the reasons that I’ve quit
watching it — stopping plays and analyzing
them like the Warren Commission. I don’t
care what they inflate the balls at. I don’t
understand why this has turned into the
new Dreyfus affair. I would give (the ball) to
each quarterback and say, “Here, we have
an entertainment on Sunday. It’s hugely
popular. We’d like to make it better. What
do you like to throw the ball at?” And have
each person say, “Well, it feels good here.”
That would be OK with me.

CARVEY
From 26
Q: It’s disappointing that Church Lady
didn’t get a movie.
A: I think part of the reason Wayne and
Garth blew up is because they seemed real.
Q: How does your comedy style differ
from Kevin and Dennis?
A: I appreciate great writers. Kevin and
Dennis are brilliant with words. I’m going
for abstraction and doing stuff that makes
me laugh. I’ve got some new stuff that I’m
trying.
Q: Speaking of great writing, you had
some very talented but at the time
unknown comedy writers working with
you on “The Dana Carvey Show”: Steve
Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Louis C.K., Robert
Smigel, Charlie Kaufman. It seems like
your show was too talented to fail. What
happened?
A: I’m very proud of it. It was very well
intentioned and we were welcomed by ABC.
But then ABC was bought by Disney, and I
think the sensibility of the show escaped
them. The stuff we were doing was abstract.
But I think if we had the amount of venues
that we have now, it would have succeeded.
Q: You mean online, cable, etc.?
A: Yes. Show business is unrecognizable
to any human being compared to what it
once was. There are a lot of things I have in
development. Kevin and I are developing
Franz and Hans into an animated series.
(He briefly channels George Bush) There’s a
thousand points of light. There are
thousands of venues now. There are so
many shows I’ve never seen it’s
unbelievable. Have you seen the show
“Justified” on FX?
Q: I try to watch everything at least
once.
A: Well, I never did. But I had a guy
almost take a swing at me. I said, “OK, I’ll
binge watch it.” Give me a break.

First-aid tents will be
stationed at both entry
gates and in an area
near the fourth tee for
folks needing medical
assistance during the
U.S. Open at Chambers

MultiCare staff members
— including doctors
and nurses from
emergency departments,
sports medicine
clinics and orthopedic
clinics — will be at the
course. West Pierce Fire

patients to the first-aid
tents and emergency

necessary.
The tents will be open

through June 21.
Caterer focuses
on Northwest
seafood menu
Hospitality tents will serve more
than 150 items; portable options
for those with grounds tickets
BY SUE KIDD
Staff writer
Dungeness crab cakes. Grilled shrimp. Smoked salmon.
Fish tacos made with Pacific cod. Line-caught albacore tuna.
A made-to-order omelet station.
If you’re lucky enough to secure an invitation to dine in
one of the myriad U.S. Open hospitality tents, you’ll be
feasting on an incredible array of Northwest cuisine. And it’s
all being prepared by the catering company owned by Susan
Lacz, who has catered every U.S. Open since 1993.
Lacz and her catering company, Ridgewells, is responsible
for serving thousands of meals during the Open.
“We feed all the corporate sponsors, all the players, the
rules officials, the USGA and the media. We serve about
42,000 meals over the course of the week,” she said by
phone.
She’s assembled an enviable menu of more than 150 items
featuring the gamut of Northwest seafood. Menus vary from
tent to tent.
She’s buying much of her ingredients from high-end
Northwest-based food producers, such as Beecher’s
Handmade Cheese, Essential Baking Co., Northwest Fish Co.
and Heritage Distilling Co. And Washington wine? There
will be plenty of that to be sipped.
But, again, those dishes only will be served to those in the
hospitality tents. For anyone holding a grounds ticket who
isn’t dining in a hospitality tent, the food options will be
more basic, said Janeen Driscoll, United States Golf
Association public relations director. She said to expect a
menu of portable food that includes burgers and dogs, but
she also was expecting a few seafood items sprinkled into
the mix.
“Seafood, including salmon, crab and shrimp is being
purchased locally,” she said.
Here’s something that will make finding dining on the
grounds easier now that attendees can pack their cell
phones. The USGA is releasing a U.S. Open app Friday (June
12) that will direct spectators to the nearest dining options.
Just click on the map and open the interactive course map.
Then, select “concessions.”

A: This is a wonderful question as your feet are vital to enjoying a fun and
active summer. To ensure your feet remain problem-free, here are some
warm weather-specific tips:
• Limit walking barefoot -- It exposes feet to sunburn, as well as plantar warts, Dr. Barrett DPM
athlete’s foot, ringworm, and other infections and increases risk of injury to
your feet.
• Wear shoes or flip-flops at the pool, beach, or locker room to prevent injuries and limit the risk
of bacterial infections.
• Apply sunscreen to your feet. Protect your feet from sunburn, especially the tops and fronts of
ankles, and reapply sunscreen after you’ve been in the water.
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to minimize foot swelling.
• Wiggle your toes, flex your ankles, and stretch your calves to keep blood flowing in your feet.
• If you injure your foot or ankle while on vacation, seek professional medical attention from a
podiatric physician. Many often only contact a doctor when something is broken or sprained, but
a podiatrist can begin treating your injury immediately while you’re away from home.
If you would like more information on how you can protect your feet this summer or are suffering
from a persistent foot issue, please contact Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates at #360-754-3338.

FAMOUS NAMES
FROM THE AREA
If you’re not from around here, you might not
have heard about University Place. But you
probably have heard about Tacoma. Here’s a
few reasons why.
Ivan: A gorilla kept for years at the B&I
Shopping Center in Lakewood, near Tacoma. He
was later moved to Zoo Atlanta.
Harold LeMay: Known before his death to
Guinness World Records as the owner of the

He is now immortalized in Tacoma with
LeMay-America’s Car Museum.
Dr. Gordon Klatt: Tacoma surgeon who, three
decades ago, walked alone for 24 hours around
the University of Puget Sound track to raise

and a replacement was built. A second bridge
was later added.
Almond Roca: Brown & Haley makes it daily
in Tacoma. (Incidentally, Frank Mars founded
the candymaker Mars in Tacoma in 1911 with
butter cream. Having gone broke, he moved
elsewhere.)
Weyerhaeuser: The timber giant was born in
Tacoma and later moved to Federal Way and
converted to a REIT.
The Sonics, The Fabulous Wailers, the Ventures:
Garage rock began in Tacoma long before
Kurt Cobain played here.
Tacoma claims golfing great Ken Still and
bowler extraordinaire Earl Anthony. Richard
Brautigan (author), Dale Chihuly (glass artist),
Frank Herbert (“Dune”), Pappy Boyington
(World War II Marine Corps ace fighter pilot),
Gary Larson (“Far Side” cartoonist), Ron Cey
(baseball great), Sugar Ray Seales (1972 Olympic

A guide to the South Sound
BY C.R. ROBERTS
Staff writer
What mountains are those on the
western horizon? How do you
pronounce “Steilacoom”? What’s that
green bush with the pretty yellow
flowers?
If you’re from out of town, you might
have some random questions.
We have some random answers.
Question: OK, what mountains are
those on the western horizon?
Answer: They’re called the
Olympics, named for the highest peak,
Mount Olympus. Sighted by Spanish
sailor Juan Perez in 1774, they were first
called El Cerro de la Santa Rosalia. It
was the British Captain John Meares
who sighted the peak in 1788 and called
it Olympus.
Q: Chambers Creek, Chambers Bay.
So who was Chambers?
A: Located at the mouth of Chambers
Creek, which also was known as the
Chudley River, Byrd Creek, Steilacoom
River and Heath Creek, Chambers Bay
isn’t much of a bay after all. The estuary
between the creek and Puget Sound was
once home to a lumber mill, and there
were later dreams, unfulfilled, for a flour
milling center that made sense in 1908
as the “Imperial Waterfront.” Also, a
planned steel mill, blast furnace and
foundry never materialized.
The creek, and later the bay, were
named for Thomas Chambers, who built
the sawmill.
Q: There seem to be a lot of little
towns around Tacoma. Anything
interesting to talk about there?
A: Ruston, near Point Defiance Park,
was named for W.R. Rust, president of
the Tacoma Smelting Co., which
operated a waterfront copper smelter
near Point Defiance. Fircrest, adjoining
University Place, was established in part
by Edward “Major” Bowes, he of
“Amateur Hour” fame. Steilacoom
(pronounced STILL-uh-kum), just south
of the course, was the state’s first
incorporated town, established in 1854.
(Actually Washington was once a part of
the Oregon Territory and wouldn’t earn
statehood until 1889.)
Q: Thanks for the pronunciation
guide. Now what about “Puyallup” and
“Nisqually”?
A: Puyallup: PEW (as in church) and
allup (rhymes with gallop); Nisqually:
nis-QUALL-ee. You’re on your own with
Stillaguamish, Quillayute, Dosewallips,
Deschutes, Humptulips, Pysht and
Bogachiel.
Q: I see a lot of islands. What do you
call them?
A: Looking west, and from south to
north (or left to right) there’s Ketron,
Anderson, McNeil, Fox and Day Islands.
Q: Any stories there?
A: Lots. A developer once touted
Ketron as a potential suburban paradise
complete with shopping center and high
school. Never happened. At the last
census, 17 people lived there. Anderson
has a lake. McNeil has housed a state or
federal prison since 1875, and once
hosted the likes of Alvin Karpis, Mickey
Cohen, Charles Manson and a fledgling
Birdman who ended up in Alcatraz. The
island town of Gertrude has long been
abandoned.
Then comes Fox Island, named for J.L.
Fox, an assistant surgeon with the
Wilkes Expedition in 1841. The island
was not named for the USGA’s signature

network, Fox Sports, which
will have a camera position
looking across to Chambers
Bay. Finally, Day Island, only
yards from the University
Place mainland, contains
several expensive homes
that some people believe
will one day sink below the
water because of global
warming.
Q: So the city is called
University Place. Where’s
the university?
A: Actually, it’s in nearby
Tacoma. The University of
Puget Sound had intended
to build its campus near the
water, but circumstances led
it elsewhere. The name
stayed, the school didn’t.
Q: I’ve seen signs for
JBLM. What is it?
A: Joint Base
Lewis-McChord is located in
Pierce County south of
Tacoma. The original Army
training center, Camp Lewis,
was named for Meriwether
Lewis of the Lewis and
Clark Expedition. McChord
Air Force Base was named
for Col. William McChord,
who perished in an airplane
accident in 1937. The land
for Camp Lewis was
donated to the U.S. Army in
1917 by the people of Pierce
County — with the
understanding that it would
continue in operation and
thereby support the local
economy.
Q: The Olympic
Mountains are the ones to
the west, I get that. But
what’s that other big
mountain I saw to the
southeast?
A: Mount Rainier was
named in 1792 by Capt.
George Vancouver of the
British Royal Navy.
Vancouver wanted to
recognize the contributions
to the reign of King George
III and the British Empire
that had been made by
soon-to-be Admiral Peter
Rainier, who later made his
name with service in the
1 1 5 T H U . S . O P E N C H A M B E R S B A Y
East Indies. Rainier never
saw the mountain for which
he was named, and it could
be argued that he was part
of the fight against America
in the Revolutionary War.
The people of Pierce
County prefer that the
mountain be known as
Tahoma, or Tacoma, which
are native names used by
people long before
Vancouver was even a cabin
boy.
Q: And Puget, of Puget
Sound. Who was he?
A: Rear Admiral Peter
Puget sailed with Vancouver
as a lieutenant and was one
of the first European
explorers to visit the waters
(by rowboat, as it turned
out) for which he is named.
Vancouver, by the way,
was looking for the
Northwest Passage.
Q: What kinds of fish are
out there in Puget Sound?
1779555-01-1
A: Many kinds. Salmon,
cod, herring, squid, rockfish,
dogfish, flounder, bullheads
and more. And there’s lots of
shellfish — clams, oysters,
mussels and geoduck
(pronounced GOOEY-duck),
which look like razor clams
that have been working out.
Also, you’re looking at the
habitat of the world’s largest
octopuses. You also might
see harbor seals or the
occasional orca.
If you’re wondering about
animals, University Place
has lots of rabbits. Deer are
common in all
neighborhoods as are
opossums and raccoons.
Watch out for the bats. And
yes, that was a bald eagle
you saw soaring high above.
Q: Enough about fauna.
What about flora?
A: You’ll see lots of
rhododendrons, and the
evergreen trees are probably
Westside&EastsideOlympia|1.800.936.3386|OlyOrtho.com
cedar or Douglas fir. If
you’ve never tasted
huckleberries, make sure to
try some.
And then there’s those
marvelous little golden
blossoms on what the locals
call Scotch broom, or Scot’s
broom. Please consider
these rare ornamental
bushes as our gift to the
world. If you’d like, please
take some with you when
you leave. Just pull them out
of the ground and put them
in your suitcase, then
transplant them when you
get back home. Take 10, 20
plants. Take as many as you
want. Enjoy.
Q: Finally, are there
really bigfoots and
sasquatches around here?
A: Yes.

Where art, golf meet
Pop-Up Art Putt brings
minigolf to Tacoma Art
Museum to celebrate the
U.S. Open’s arrival
BY ROSEMARY PONNEKANTI
Staff writer
Think there isn’t much in common
between golf and art? Think again. Next
week, the Tacoma art community —
spearheaded by Tacoma Art Museum and
the city’s Arts Commission, and funded by
the National Endowment for the Arts — will
celebrate the U.S. Open in artistic style by
opening its own course of 10 artist-designed
minigolf holes. Pop-Up Art Putt will run
Thursday night through June 21, offering
minigolf enthusiasts the chance to play for
free all over the museum’s plaza, Tollefson
Plaza and the Prairie Line Trail, newly
opened for pedestrians next door.
“We’re delighted to bring this playful
activity to the public in celebration of the
U.S. Open coming to town,” Tacoma Art
Museum director Stephanie Stebich said in
a news release. “As a golfer, I can’t wait to
play.”
Stebich may be a golfer, but not all of the
participating artists are. Among the holes is
one designed around a railway by an artist
who prefers hiking, one or two imitating
pinball machines and one that doubles as a
skateboard ramp. There’s also a hole built in
the shape of a giant Pacific octopus, one
shaped like a tiger, one a tropical jungle
with Rube Goldberg-type obstacles, and two
that are city models of Tacoma itself. All are
competing for an audience-voted prize of
$500.
The pop-up putt-putt course doesn’t just
coincide with the U.S. Open — it also falls
on a weekend that includes Art Walk
(Thursday, with food trucks, live music and
beer), Go Skate Tacoma (June 20, with
skateboard clinics and competitions) and
the museum’s Summer Solstice Sculpture
Festival (June 21, with free museum entry
and activities). Add in some sunny weather
and you’ve got plenty to amuse the folks
who aren’t spending the day at Chambers
Bay.
But of course, the holes themselves are
the real draw. We pinned down five of the
10 artists to ask them: What’s your hole?
How are you building it? And do you even
like golf?
CHRIS SHARP, PAINTER
What: “I wanted to make a whale theme,
so I’m doing an orca. It’ll be a bit bigger
than a garbage can, with the putting green
about 4 by 12 feet in an L-shape.”
How: “I’m using salvaged building
materials: old tile, quarter-inch plywood.”
Golf? “I’ve been to Tower (Lanes
Entertainment Center) indoor golf. It’s not
my favorite activity, but it’s fun.”
OLIVER DORISS, GLASS ARTIST
What: “The challenge is to build a
functioning three-dimensional sculpture
that people can actually walk on. It’s less an
aesthetic thing than an engineering
problem — you have to know how to build
decking. I’m building this incredibly
elaborate thing based on a skeeball game,
where you shoot the ball up a ramp. It’s a
3-D version of Tacoma with bridges and
landmarks that you can hit the ball
through, like the 11th Street Bridge, the
Tacoma Dome, the Museum of Glass, the
LeMay, and Stanley and Seafort’s.”
How: “It’ll be about 10 by 5 feet, with a
normal decking floor and wood
components built to go on top. It all breaks
down to fit in my car. The city model has an
abstract feel, painted flat black. And it has
some trick shots in it.”
Golf? “I grew up in a seaside
summertime touristy community where
there were a number of miniature golf
courses. I have fond memories of minigolf.
But to be honest, actual golf was boring to
me. As I got older, though, I realized that
everyone is drinking booze out there —
they’re loaded.”
SEAN ALEXANDER, PEN-AND-INK ARTIST
What: “It’s called ‘Tiger in the Woods’ —
a cheap riff. There’s a wooden tiger, a bit
bigger than life size, and you hit the ball
through its mouth. I got the idea because
golf is kind of boring, so on TV they cut to
local things and places. I wanted to make
something that would appeal to the PGA.”
How: “It’s more geometric than realistic,
and I’m hoping to paint it Mexican folk-art
style.”
Golf? “I love golf. It’s a bad habit, and I
try to keep it to three or five times a year.
It’s a nasty game that takes a lot of time.
But it’s fun.”
GABRIEL BROWN, MIXED MEDIA
What: “I’m calling it ‘Lunar Tilt Maze,’
ROBERT BOYLE City of Tacoma
Artist and skateboarder Taylor Woodruff’s team works on his design for a minigolf hole, a reference
to local railroads that is also skateable.
CITY OF TACOMA Courtesy
Artist Jillian Nintze’s minigolf hole is based on a
sculpture of a giant octopus.
and it’s based on the hand device where you
tilt handles to move a marble through a
maze. You putt up a rainbow ramp that
becomes tighter into a prism, and the ball
has to drop down into the surface of the
moon.”
How: “Plywood and plaster, with a
sculpted, painted moonscape, craggly and
gray.”
Golf? “I grew up golfing, and I think it’s
one of the most ridiculously wasteful sports
even created by humans. I’m actually pretty
good at it. But I’m a huge fan of minigolf.”
JORI ADKINS, ARCHITECT
What: “I’ve actually done this before —
we put nine minigolf holes in (the building
we own next to our house). And for the
Northwest AIDS Foundation event in 1996,
I created a two-block street course. This
one’s just 10 feet long and inspired by the

CIRCUS TROUPE SHOW
OPENING THIS WEEKEND
FEATURES TACOMA GYMNAST
Not everyone would see teen
gymnastics as a career path, but
for Tacoma performer Laura
Himes it’s worked out pretty
well. The 22-year-old who made
it to nationals with Puyallup’s
Puget Sound School of
Gymnastics (PSSG) and went on
to compete for Stadium High
School in cheer and diving has
tumbled her way into a career in
circus and stunts. She will be
performing this weekend and
next with renowned Seattle
company The Cabiri in “Ezid” at
the Seattle Center.
Watching Himes rehearse, it’s
obvious she’s doing what she
loves. As she plays the part of a
villager defending her turf
against enormous giants in a
plot based on ancient mythology
(like all Cabiri shows), she
whirls and flips around the Air
Trak floor with grace and
energy, working with three
other gymnasts to create a finale
for the show that’s as much
dance and theater as
gymnastics. And while she’s not
so much involved with the other
parts of “Ezid” — aerial circus,
fire performance, stilts and the
two huge giant puppets
manipulated on trolleys — she’s
been working with the group
since last August, when she
trained with them during a
four-week course at the
International Stunt School at
the University of Washington.
Now Himes, who still lives in
Tacoma, balances her time
between The Cabiri, coaching at
Auburn Gymnastics and doing a
lot of personal training. She
spoke to The News Tribune
about how her passion for
tumbling landed her a circus
gig, and where she hopes her
love of stunt work will take her.
Q: When did you start
gymnastics?
A: When I was 3. I was always
climbing and doing flips at
home, and my mom knew she
had to get me into a program. I
did gymnastics with PSSG until
my freshman year, when I made
it to nationals at Level Nine.
Then the club changed and I got
into cheer and dive.
Q: So how did you get the
idea to get into stunt work?
A: One of my role models at

move to L.A. to train, but
actually it’s right here in my
own backyard, at the University
of Washington. So I took a
three-week utility course,
followed by one week of aerial,
last July and August.
Q: What do you actually
learn at the International Stunt
School?
A: Martial arts, weapon
fighting, car stuff, rappelling on
a wire, and I got lit on fire a lot.
And high falls, I like that the
best. We’d work from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. each day, with two days off
per week. On the second day of
the aerial week it was acrobatics
on aerial equipment and The
Cabiri came to teach it: rope,
silk, hoop. There was a brief
instruction of everything, then
we’d get right into it.
Q: Is that what led to you
joining The Cabiri?
A: The Cabiri had auditions
the next Monday, and I got in.
I’ve done two shows with them:
“Ghost Game” at Halloween,
and “Carpathian Dawn,” where I
did bungee and trapeze — that
was a lot of fun. We have
another Halloween show
coming up.
Q: Has anything in the circus
been radically new for you,
physically?
A: Tumbling-wise, no. But my
dance has gotten way better
with this, and the stuff on silks
and hoop — we even learned a
whole 10-minute routine.
Q: How much do you train to
stay in shape for this?
A: The Cabiri rehearses every
Sunday and Monday night, and
then we have the shows. I also
coach at Auburn Gymnastics, so
I work on my own stuff there,
and I go to the gym and Crossfit
a lot — I’m trying to build arm
strength. It’s a full-time effort …
but it’s worth it. My favorite
thing is the exposure to
performance, the whole team
aspect.
Q: What do you want for the
future?
A: I want to do more with
stunt work in movies and TV,
move to L.A.

IMPERFECT IMAGE OF A CITY:
SEE IT AT TACOMA LIBRARY
GALLERY
How many artists does it take to
describe a city?
No, it’s not a joke — it’s “A
Fable,” a new exhibit at the
Handforth Gallery in Tacoma
Public Library’s main branch,
where 24 local artists plus curator
Lynn Di Nino each create their
own autobiographical sculpture
and text expressing what this city
means to them. As a practical
installation, it has a few problems,
but as a concept — especially

Curator Lynn Di Nino’s “Chihuly on the bus” is among artwork featured at a Handforth Gallery exhibit in Tacoma Public
Library’s main branch.
working in tandem with Di Nino’s
own solo show “Riding the
Express Bus 594” — it sculpts a
complex, lighthearted image of
Tacoma.
At first blush, “Riding the
Express Bus 594” is the cleaner
and punchier of the two shows.
Di Nino, with her
characteristically sharp wit, has
condensed Tacoma’s population
into 14 10-inch-high cement
people sitting on gray concrete bus
seats that jut out in relief from the
wall. Behind them are
parallelogram-shaped
photographs of the view out of the
windows of the Tacoma-Seattle
bus, many worthy landscapes in
their own right: the Puyallup
River, shining on a blue-sky day
with Mount Rainer behind; a
mediation on SeaTac high-rises;
blurry traffic. But it’s the people —
just small enough in scale
compared to their window-views
to be adorable — that say the
most. There are a couple of
celebrities riding this bus, like
Dale Chihuly clutching a macchia
on his lap, staring with typical

artists have sculpted tiny figurines of

Tacoma.
blankness as he rides past Di
Nino’s own house (she’s waving
cheerily from the upstairs
window); or Tiger Woods,
complete with golf clubs, staring
bemusedly out the window at an
Indian smoke shop.
But the rest are “types,”
epitomized with friendly humor:
the politician with dorky glasses
and suit, the shopper with
purple-dot blouse, the spotty teen
with phone and earbuds.
Occasionally, the contrast with
their window view is telling, like
the youth in a hoodie who’s bent
in despair, head in hands, as a
serene forest drifts by.
On the opposite wall, the story
of Tacoma gets a little more
complex and less direct. At Di
Nino’s urging, 24 local artists (and
herself) have sculpted tiny
figurines of themselves, each
epitomizing how they see Tacoma.
Following the fable of the blind
men discovering an elephant part
by part, are installed climbing up a
giant pink paper elephant taped to
the wall.
The installation itself is
problematic, and takes away from
the strength of the art. Most of the
figures have their backs to the
viewer, which means you can’t see
some of the most artistic touches:
the blind barn-owl face on
Heather Cornelius’ exquisite clay
gold-winged bird-woman; the
intricate Sumerian-style mask on
Becky Frehse’s artist decked out in
a cacophony of colors and
textures; the long-beaked nose on
Claudia Riedener’s blonde
self-portrait, ever curious. The
simplistic paper elephant doesn’t
help, either. Perhaps a better
solution would have been some
kind of clear elephant with a tiny
model of Tacoma inside it,
allowing each figure to be both
touching it and viewable from all
sides. Or maybe a mirror.
The other issue with “A Fable” is
reading the extremely informative,
often-poetic texts provided by
most artists on how they see our
city. Currently arranged on the
facing wall, this text would be
easier to match with its sculptures
on a printed sheet of paper, or
even an app (hello, Tacoma Public
Library?) that allowed an icon of
each sculpture to reveal its own
story.
Nevertheless, the concept of a
place as something only
imperfectly understood from
multiple viewpoints is extremely
well-expressed. We have Di Nino
herself, made of white concrete
and wearing protective
eye-goggles, discovering a peanut
(elephant — get it?). There’s
Marita Dingus, with a clear plastic
piping torso and red crate legs,
two black-fabric hands extended
to the elephant like a prophet; and
Di Morgan-Graves in a turquoise
turban and kaftan, gesturing like a
seer out of the “Arabian Nights.”
Ruby Reusable is there, wearing
an upcycled plastic headdress, and
Elayne Vogel sports a diva outfit of
feather-boa shoes and peacock hat.
At the top, Jeremy Gregory in
khaki skate clothes grins as he
touches the saddle-cloth: an
edition of The News Tribune itself.
In other words, what each artist
says about Tacoma through their
art says as much about themselves
— a perfect metaphor for the way
we all view life.

Return to ‘Jurassic’ is a well-worn path
Absurd plot and stupid
character actions result in
unintended laughs
Friday, June 12, 2015 • Thenewstribune.com/Entertainment
BY SOREN ANDERSEN
Staff writer
Shhhh! It’s the Raptor
Whisperer.
It’s Chris Pratt, playing a guy
named Owen, gazing deep into the
reptilian peepers of a bunch of
snarling Velociraptors, controlling
them with a kind of mind meld in
“Jurassic World.” Impressive, yes?
Uh, no. Silly, is more like it.
Gesturing hypnotically, Pratt …
Sorry. Must wait for giggles to
subside.
Welcome to “Jurassic World,” by
far the funniest “Jurassic” picture
ever unleashed by Steven
Spielberg.
That’s not by overall design,
though there are morsels of
intentional humor scattered
throughout the picture. One of the
funnier of those is the Pratt
character’s mocking reference to
the “ridiculous shoes,” worn by
co-star Bryce Dallas Howard’s
character, a well turned-out
corporate higher-up. They’re
spiky-heeled numbers not
well-suited to outrunning a wide
assortment of computer-generated
prehistoric beasties.
For the rest, absurdity of
plotting meets stupidity of
character actions and the result is
lots of unintended laughs.
Jeff Goldblum’s sardonic
scientist Ian Malcolm isn’t in
“Jurassic World,” but his best line
from “The Lost World: Jurassic
Park” sums up this latest iteration:
“ ‘Oooh! Aaah!’ That’s how it
always starts. Then later there’s
running … and screaming.”
Oooh! Lookie there! Little kids
riding tame Triceratopses. So cute.
And aah! Feeding time at the
zoo, featuring a humongous
aquatic whatsis leaping up out of a
park pool to gulp down the
dangling carcass of a great white
shark (we’re nodding at you,
“Jaws”) while spectators yelp.
Then later … Dinos out of
control! Panicked park visitors
dive-bombed by long-beaked
The dinosaurs go out of control again in “Jurassic World.”
JURASSIC WORLD
½ out of 5
Cast: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas
Howard
Director: Colin Trevorrow
Running time: 2:05
Rated: PG-13, for intense
sequences of science-fiction
violence and peril.
Pteranodons. Gun-toting security
guys gobbled by a giant
monstrosaur. Everybody run. And
scream.
“World,” which Spielberg
executive produced but did not
direct (Colin Trevorrow, a relative
unknown, sat in the director’s
chair and shares screenplay credit
with a gaggle of other writers),
returns to Isla Nublar, home of the
original “Jurassic.” There, the
tourist attraction dreamed up by
the late mogul John Hammond
has, despite its fatality-strewn
origins, been open for years. It’s a
big draw, but attendance figures
have been trending down because,
as a corporate honcho observes,
“no one is impressed with
dinosaurs anymore.” So they’ve
sunk multimillions into creating a
genetic hybrid to goose
attendance. Its design guiding
principle is summed up thusly:
“Bigger. Louder. More teeth.”
In “Jaws”-like fashion,
Trevorrow teases the audience
with brief partial glimpses of the
monster early on. Jungle trees
shake ominously. A big eye peers
through the foliage.
Finally comes the Big Reveal.
And seeing it, one feels a great big
sense of … eh. Is that all there is?
Park on-site staff
member Owen
(Chris Pratt)
studies
Velociraptors in
“Jurassic World.”
Nothing special here.
There’s nothing special about
Trevorrow’s plotting either. From
the original “Jurassic,” he’s cribbed
the story device of putting two
young siblings — two brothers this
time (Ty Simpkins and Nick
Robinson) rather than the brother
and sister of the original — in
mortal peril by dispatching them
into the park in, not a Jeep but
rather a plastic rolling globe. It’s
child endangerment time, as the
monster plays dino soccer with the

raptor allies, must then venture
forth to rescue the kids. Sound
familiar?
What’s different this time is that
there isn’t a single character
worthy of an emotional
investment by the audience. The
dinosaurs’ victims are anonymous
stereotypes — fat slob worker,
grim-faced interchangeable
security gunmen, fleeing extras.
Dino chum.
A budding romance between
Pratt and Howard is contrived and
halfhearted. A subplot about an
evil corporation seeking to
weaponize the Velociraptors for
the military is absurd.
And finally the dino-on-dino
violence that climaxes the picture
is barely impressive. Clearly, in
Hammond’s words, Spielberg and
company “spared no expense” on
the effects. But it’s been 22 long
years since the original “Jurassic”
wowed audience with its
then-groundbreaking CG work.
Today, “no one is impressed with
dinosaurs any more.”
We’ve seen it all before.

Pratt thoroughly evolves into leading man
39
Former ‘Parks and Rec’
goofball has transformed
into hero with ‘Jurassic’
BY LINDSEY BAHR
The Associated Press
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIF. — On
a recent afternoon on a Universal
soundstage, Chris Pratt was
regaling a group of journalists
with a story about elk hunting.
Suddenly, a gust of air blew
through the room, toppling a giant
fake plant onto a similarly giant
speaker before both careened
toward one unlucky reporter.
Everyone gasped but stayed in
their seats. Everyone except Pratt,
who sprang from his chair with a
gravely serious expression, ready
to help however he could.
There wasn’t much that needed
doing in this case. The
shrub-speaker combination
missed the reporter. But there was
no missing the instinct.
The perennial goofball turned
leading man wasn’t merely a hero
on screen. Apparently, he has the
right stuff in reality, too.
“That’s who he is. He takes
responsibility for the well-being of
those around him,” said Pratt’s
“Jurassic World” co-star Bryce
Dallas Howard.
On set, things were no different.
“He gets funnier and more
charming as things get more
difficult. It comes from a place of
genuinely wanting to make it fun
for everyone else,” said director
Colin Trevorrow.
Even after crashing his
motorcycle on the Jurassic set,
Pratt insisted on reassuring the
cast and crew the show would go
on.
“That one really jolted me,” he
recalled in an interview. Off
camera, the bike locked up when
he used the brakes in some mud.
He was thrown 20 feet and had to
dive roll over a prop gun strapped
to his back.
“I was immediately swarmed by
everyone,” he said. “When you’re
on a movie and that much money
is on the line, should your star get
hurt… I’m like, ‘Listen dudes,
you’ve got to back the (expletive)
off for a second. Am I fine? How
could I possibly know that? Give
me a day and I’ll tell you. It seems
OK right now.’ ”
Howard, through her own
career and by proxy of lineage (her
CASEY CURRY Invision
Chris Pratt poses for a portrait during press day for “Jurassic World” in Universal City, Calif. Nearly one year after Pratt helped the little-known Marvel property
“Guardians of the Galaxy” become the third highest grossing movie of the year, the perennial goofy sidekick turned Indiana Jones-style leading man has another
franchise to shoulder: “Jurassic World.”
dad is Ron Howard), has been
around the biggest names in the
business for her entire life, and
dislikes the overused and
undervalued phrase “movie star.”
She prefers terms like
“recognizable” and “well-known”
and believes that there have only
been maybe 15 true movie stars in
the history of cinema.
Pratt, however, makes the cut.
A few years ago, things looked
very different for Pratt. He had a
steady gig as the affable Andy
Dwyer on NBC’s “Parks and
Recreation” and would pop up in
movies here and there, but usually
as a goofy sidekick. Then
everything changed in 2014.
With leading roles in both “The
Lego Movie” and the little-known,
high-stakes Marvel property
“Guardians of the Galaxy,” the year
was almost a test. Could he carry a
film? Would audiences respond?
The answer was an unequivocal
yes. “Guardians” became the third
highest earning movie of the year,
and “The Lego Movie” was the
fifth. Both are getting sequels.
Now, Pratt has another trial
looming: “Jurassic World,” the
fourth installment in the “Jurassic
Park” series that Steven Spielberg
launched in 1993, out Friday.
Pratt plays Owen Grady, a
military man turned Velociraptor
trainer at an amusement park that
devolves into dino chaos. If his
‘Guardians’ character, Peter Quill,
was Han Solo, Owen Grady is
Indiana Jones — a little more
serious, a little less rakish and
definitely not silly.
As he delves into higher profile
projects, Pratt is only concerned
about making movies that don’t
just “aim for the middle.” He
wants audiences to truly feel like
profits aren’t the sole, or most
important, objective. Also, even in
these leading roles, he doesn’t give
himself credit for a film’s success.
Fame and stardom can be
ephemeral, too, and Pratt, who
was raised in Lake Stevens, likes to
keep things light and sincere. He
recently posted a humorous
“apology” on his Facebook page
“for whatever it is I end up saying
during the forthcoming ‘Jurassic
World’ press tour.” He was keenly
aware of the various “gates” and
“scandals” mined out of recent
“Avengers” interviews and others.
“It was a fun way for me to poke
fun at the PC police, but also, truly
to pre-emptively apologize in the
likelihood that I would say
something inappropriate,” he said.
He also stole his Owen costume
from set, telling Howard that he’d
like to wear it to hospitals to visit
kids in character.
There are the usual downsides
of increased fame, but Pratt, who’s
married to actress Anna Faris,
knew the score going in.
“I don’t much like the elements
that pertain to my private life and
my personal space being
diminished, but with that there’s a
trade. I’m now on a short list to
have access to amazing
filmmakers and material,” he said.
“I’m just hoping I never get caught
complaining about it.”

5 FLIGHTS UP
PG-13; language and some nude
images
Time: 1:31
The considerable cinematic charms
of Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman
are no match for the hell that is the
New York real estate market in “5
Flights Up,” a middling comedy about
getting old, trying to downsize and
running up against real estate
agents, hagglers and looky-lous. —
Roger Moore
THE AGE OF ADELINE
1/2
PG-13; suggestive comment
Time: 1:50
“The Age of Adaline” falls neatly into
a genre that includes “The Time
Traveler’s Wife,” “About Time” and
even “Somewhere in Time.” But
building this film around all the willowy,
world-weary grace that Blake
“Gossip Girl” Lively can muster pays
off. — Roger Moore
ALOHA
PG-13; some language including
suggestive comments
Time: 1:44
Cameron Crowe fans — and that
includes most movie critics — have
cut him a lot of slack over the years.
“Aloha” has been reduced to a shambling,
lurching Hawaiian comedy full
of big name actors making long,
rushed, declamatory speeches. —
Roger Moore
AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
1/2
PG-13; intense sequences of sci-fi
action, violence and destruction,
some suggestive comments
Time: 2:21
Much of the sense of fun that has
characterized past Marvel movies is
missing this time around. If there’s
one word that best characterizes
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” it’s overkill.
And it’s exhausting. — Soren Anderson
THE DIVERGENT SERIES:
INSURGENT
1/2
PG-13; intense violence and action
throughout, some sensuality, thematic
elements and brief language
Time: 1:56
“Insurgent” doesn’t seriously diverge
from the “Divergent/Hunger Games/
Maze Runner” formula until its final
Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy in “Spy.”
act. As it wraps up, it picks up speed
and depth, and gives you hope that
maybe this series won’t conclude as
the copy-and-paste “Hunger Games”
it has felt like from the moment the
books were word-processed onto the
best-seller lists. — Roger Moore
ENTOURAGE
R; pervasive language, strong sexual
content, nudity and some drug use
Time: 1:44
It’s “Entourage,” a movie that plumbs
the sparkly depths of shallow. The
further adventures of the guys from
the HBO series that spawned it,
“Entourage” is too enamored of the
Hollywood excessiveness it seeks to
mock to be satirically effective. Plus,
its characters are numbingly superficial.
Result? The picture falls flat. —
Soren Andersen
EX MACHINA
R; graphic nudity, language, sexual
references and some violence
Time: 1:48
“Ex Machina” is a tense tale of artificial
love so intelligently crafted and
edgy that I adored it myself. It’s a
coherent, suspenseful film noir battle
of wills and a beauty vs. beast gender
fable. It’s an eerie futurist boy-meetsgirl
story and a stylish psychological
thriller. — Colin Covert
FAR FROM THE MADDING
CROWD
1/2
PG-13; some sexuality and violence
Time: 1:59
Thomas Hardy’s romantic Victorian
novel of class, labor and the fickle
finger of love, “Far From the Madding
Crowd” earns a stately yet earthy and
full-blooded film treatment from the
Danish director Thomas Vinterberg.
— Roger Moore
FURIOUS 7
PG-13; prolonged frenetic sequences
of violence, action and mayhem,
suggestive content and brief strong
language.
Time: 2:17
What we have here is a gazilliondollar
live-action Roadrunner cartoon,
with everything pumped up to
cartoonish extremes, from the bulging
biceps of Vin Diesel and Dwayne
“No Longer The Rock” Johnson to the
overload of villains with different
agendas using everything from high
tech (helicopters and drones) to
caveman tech (metal clubs) to try to
do our heroes harm. It’s all pretty
funny, and it’s meant to be. — Soren
Andersen
Courtesy of 20th Century Fox
I’LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS
1/2
PG-13; sexual material, drug use and
brief strong language
Time: 1:32
The actors are terrific, Blythe Danner
and Sam Elliott. It’s too bad, though,
that co-writer, editor and director
Brett Haley settles for so little. As “I’ll
See You in My Dreams” reminds us,
Danner and Elliott are masters in the
art of turning ordinary material into
little bits of truth, and life. — Michael
Phillips
INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 3
Not reviewed
PG-13; violence, frightening images,
some language and thematic elements
Time: 1:37
This chilling prequel, set before the
haunting of the Lambert family,
reveals how gifted psychic Elise
Rainier (Lin Shaye) reluctantly agrees
to use her ability to contact the dead
to help a teenage girl.
JURASSIC WORLD
1/2
PG-13; intense sequences of sciencefiction
violence and peril
Time: 2:05
Spielberg and company “spared no
expense” on the special effects in
“Jurassic World.” But it’s been 22 long
years since the original “Jurassic
Park” wowed audience with its thengroundbreaking
CG work. Today, as a
character in this latest “Jurassic”
iteration observes, “no one is impressed
with dinosaurs any more.”
We’ve seen it all before. — Soren
Andersen
KINGSMAN: THE SECRET
SERVICE
R; sequences of strong violence,
strong language, some sexual content
Time: 2:09
“Kingsman” is a cleverly constructed
homage to the Bond pictures, particularly
the early ones starring Sean
Connery, before everything got so
deadly serious in the Daniel Craig era.
It’s a comedy, though, one with gore
galore, abundant dismemberments
and literally mind-blowing violence.
— Soren Andersen
LOVE & MERCY
PG-13; thematic elements, drug
content and language
Time: 2:00
The best musical biographies give
you a moment when the hairs on the
back of your neck stand up as you
witness the miracle of a song’s creation.
“Love & Mercy” strikes all the
expected notes of hunger, creative
fervor, success, tragedy and vindication
that we expect from such movies.
But if you don’t get a little chill
hearing Paul Dano, doing his own
rehearsal singing, picking out
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice” or “In My
Room” or “God Only Knows” at the
piano, your musical tastes need
broadening. — Roger Moore
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
1/2
R; intense sequences of violence
throughout and for disturbing images
Time: 2:00
Sheer pyrotechnic insanity. We’re
talking “Mad Max: Fury Road” here.
Thirty years after the last “Max,”
“Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,”
director George Miller proves beyond
a shadow of a doubt that he still has
it. “It” meaning an all-consuming
addiction to demento-extremo stunts
and high-octane vehicular mayhem.
— Soren Andersen

PAUL BLART: MALL
COP 2
Not reviewed
PG; some violence
Time: 1:34
After six years of keeping our
malls safe, Paul Blart has
earned a well-deserved vacation.
He heads to Vegas with
his teenage daughter before
she heads off to college. But
safety never takes a holiday,
and when duty calls, Blart
answers.
PITCH PERFECT 2
PG-13; innuendo and language
Time: 1:55
Can we please talk about the
snottiness of “Pitch Perfect
2”? It’s seriously snotty. It’s a
two-hour lesson in how to act
like a frenemy to your alleged
friends. And it’s not funny
enough. — Michael Phillips
POLTERGEIST
1/2
PG-13; intense frightening
sequences, brief suggestive
material and some language
Time: 1:33
Kennedi Clements plays Maddy
Bowen, the child trapped
between the real world and
the afterlife in the new version
of “Poltergeist.” She gives us
wild-eyed terror we can hang
onto and a blood-curdling
scream that will haunt your
nightmares. The rest of the
players? They sort of shrug it
off and under-react to the
stunning evidence of a supernatural
menace in a way one
can only describe as blasé. —
Roger Moore
SAN ANDREAS
1/2
PG-13; intense disaster action
and mayhem throughout and
brief strong language
Time: 1:54
Disaster movies, which predate
the zeitgeist’s fascination
with a world falling apart
around us, are always great
measures of the state of the
Hollywood art of special effects.
In “San Andreas,” you
will believe the ground is
rippling under Los Angeles, the
cracking collapse of the Hoover
Dam and that a tidal wave is
submerging San Francisco. —
Roger Moore
SPY
1/2
R; language throughout, violence
and some sexual content
including brief graphic nudity
Time: 2:04
Writer-director Paul Feig and
his “Bridesmaids” muse, Melissa
McCarthy, flip the script
and ditch the fat jokes for their
latest. And “Spy,” a bloodyminded
spy spoof, is all the
richer for it. — Roger Moore
TOMORROWLAND
1/2
PG; sequences of sci-fi action
violence and peril, thematic
elements, and language
Time: 2:10
“Tomorrowland” is a movie for
the “dreamers,” the ones like
its teenage heroine Casey
(Britt Robertson). She’s the
only kid in class who asks the
obvious, when confronted with
lectures on nuclear proliferation,
the unstable politics of
much of the world and global
climate change: “Can we fix
it?” As much as one appreciates
the idea of optimism,
looking for solutions instead of
bemoaning the doom-laden
futility of it all, “Tomorrowland”
falls short. — Roger

A lot of work, few laughs
‘5 Flights Up’ is a
middling comic look
at real estate woes
BY ROGER MOORE
Tribune News Service
The considerable
cinematic charms of Diane
Keaton and Morgan
Freeman are no match for
the hell that is the New York
real estate market in “5
Flights Up,” a middling
comedy about getting old,
trying to downsize and
running up against real
estate agents, hagglers and
looky-lous.
If you’ve ever sold
anything, you know that last
category of gawker. They’re
the best running gag in “5
Flights Up,” the assorted
flakes, narcissists, power
couples and others who
acquire nicknames as
retired teacher Ruth
(Keaton) and
never-quite-a-hit painter
Alex (Freeman) run into
them when their apartment
goes on the market, and

“The matching sweaters”
and “the dog ladies,” the
indulgent mom who thinks
her “We don’t say ‘no’ to
Justin” little monster is fit to
take apartment hunting
with her — all part of the
pageant Alex narrates as he
and Ruth navigate this
late-life journey.
Childless, they fret over a
dog that has a spinal injury,
leaving them with a rising
vet bill and one more reason
not to live in a fifth floor
walk-up apartment.
Cynthia Nixon plays the
niece/agent they enlist, the
one who figures their
40-year apartment
investment is worth a
million bucks today.

less than the room I painted
it in,” Alex ponders, in that

Freeman summons when
he’s being sweet. Meanwhile,
a truck accident that might
be a terrorist incident has
everybody a little on edge —
about how that could
impact the price of housing.
Director Richard
Loncraine is decades
removed from the last
significant comedy on his
résumé (Michael Palin’s
“The Missionary”). As with
his Renee Zellweger vehicle,
“My One and Only,” the light
touch is here, but the gags
aren’t. It’s all rather stale,
with Keaton stuck on
half-speed and Freeman
waiting for her to be the
funny one.
Nixon scores the film’s
one laugh-out-loud moment.
Nobody else generates
anything more than a weak
chuckle. And in flashbacks,
nothing is made of the
weighty knowledge that
Alex and Ruth would have
been a pioneering
interracial couple, back in

Acting can’t save ‘I’ll See You in My Dreams’
45
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Chicago Tribune
Our attraction to the
movies starts from simple
building blocks, such as a
face, a heart-wrenching
separation, a pratfall. But
here are two simple
pleasures I defy anyone to
argue against: Blythe
Danner’s and Sam Elliott’s
speaking voices.
Both instruments are
showcased in the modest,
Kickstarter-funded
heartwarmer “I’ll See You in
My Dreams.” To reiterate
what others have already
noted, it’s stupidly
uncommon for an American
indie (let alone a
better-funded studio
project) to give a proper
shot to an actress like
Danner. I fell for her
sometime around “Hearts of
the West” in 1975, so there’s
my disclosure. That
distinctive speaking voice of
hers has lent sandpapery
wit and impish class to so
many supporting roles of
varying qualities over the
years, it’s a relief — even
though the movie isn’t much
— to see Danner in a
leading role on screen again.
She plays Carol, a retired
and widowed schoolteacher
who lives a comfortable,
routine life in Los Angeles.
Her husband has been gone
20 years, and her
bridge-playing pals,
Sam Elliott and Blythe Danner star in “I’ll See You in My Dreams.”
portrayed by June Squibb,
Rhea Perlman and Mary
Kay Place, urge her to get
back in the game. Right on
cue, the game begins when a
sly, cigar-chomping fellow
pulls up alongside Carol in
his car and asks her out.
Elliott plays Bill, and though
the narrative tosses a
significant complication into
an initially tentative
romance,
moment-to-moment things
happen the way you suspect.
This will hardly prevent
the film’s likely target
audience from enjoying
itself. Older folks still go to
the movies, yet they have to
search pretty hard most
weeks to find anything that
deals with issues, themes
and performers of a certain
age. The actors are terrific.
It’s too bad, though, that
co-writer, editor and
director Brett Haley settles
for so little.
Carol’s unlikely friendship
with her slacker pool
attendant (Martin Starr)
provides Danner’s character
with a necessary sounding
board, but necessity in this
case isn’t the mother of
invention.
This is one of those
scripts that might have been
more interesting a couple of
drafts ago, before the
detours were closed off. And
yet, when Danner’s Carol
shares scenes with Elliott’s
calmly determined suitor,
there’s considerable charm
in the results. Both leading
performers have eased,
beautifully, into their early
70s. As “I’ll See You in My
Dreams” reminds us,
Danner and Elliott are
masters in the art of turning
ordinary material into little
bits of truth, and life.

WEEKEND
GETAWAY
Friday, June 12, 2015 • Thenewstribune.com/Entertainment
Families will have the chance Tuesday to
learn about the creatures that live close to
shore during a low-tide program at Titlow
Park.
During Metro Parks Tacoma’s “Tiptoe
Through the Tidepools,” trained naturalists
will be on the beach as the tide goes out,
exposing creatures.
Participants should wear shoes suitable
for a rocky beach, bring water and use
sunscreen. Also, be prepared to get a little
muddy. A change of clothes for young
children is a good idea.
The free program will take place from 10
a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday. The park is at 8425
Sixth Ave., Tacoma.
For information, contact 253-591-6439 or
tacomanaturecenter.org.
The good low tides for exploring will
begin Sunday at 10:23 a.m. (-1.7 feet),
followed by Monday, 11:05 a.m. (-2.3 feet),
Tuesday, 11:46 a.m. (-2.5 feet), Wednesday,
12:26 p.m. (-2.4 feet), and Thursday, 1:06
p.m. (-2 feet). The best exploring is an hour
before and after the low tide.
The next “Tiptoe Through the
Tidepools” programs will be July3 from
noon-3 p.m. and Aug. 1 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

MOUNT RAINIER GONDOLA
What: The Mount Rainier
Gondola was an $8 million project
that opened in 2011 and effectively
changed Crystal Mountain from a
ski area into a year-round resort.
The gondola can whisk 600 people
per hour up 2,456 vertical feet to
the top of Green Valley, where
visitors can hike, take pictures of
Mount Rainier, play disc golf and
participate in other activities. At
6,856 feet above sea level, the
Summit House restaurant is the
highest restaurant in Washington.
The gondola ride takes 9 minutes,
39 seconds. Some summers, skiing
is available into July, but a poor
snow year shortened this season.
Where: Crystal Mountain
Resort
Getting there: Follow state
Route 410 through Enumclaw and
Greenwater to Crystal Mountain
Boulevard. Turn left and follow the
road to the resort.
Schedule: The gondola runs 10
a.m.-5 p.m. this weekend and next.
It’s open daily June 27-Sept. 20.
Hours will be 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
Sundays-Thursdays and 10

Fredrickson’s Ayothaya Thai
bigger, just as good as older sibling
BY SUE KIDD
Staff writer
Frederickson’s sleepy
restaurant scene hasn’t
registered much with me,
but that was before the
April opening of Ayothaya
Thai Restaurant.
Frederickson, in case you’ve
never been, is that area
sandwiched between
Spanaway and South
Hill/Graham. (It’s probably
best known as home to a
Boeing plant.)
Frederickson’s looking
less of a restaurant desert
now, with the opening of
Farrelli’s Wood Fire Pizza
last year and Ayothaya this
year.
Ayothaya’s original
restaurant has operated for
more than a decade in
Puyallup’s South Hill in a
small space inside a strip
mall that always looks to me
like it’s going to be gobbled
by the bigger strip mall just
behind it (the one with Best
Buy and Bed, Bath and
Beyond). Don’t let the
strip-mall location dissuade
you; this is one of the best
Thai restaurants in the area.
They’re known for
producing fragrant curries,
snappy stir fries and sauces
heady with galanga, ginger,
lemongrass and those
devilishly hot tiny Thai
chilis.
The Frederickson
Ayothaya is an addition, not
a subtraction for the
Puyallup store. It will
remain open.
Ayothaya’s opening was
months delayed, the result
of permit delays on the
much larger Frederickson
space built into a new space
inside the Canyon Crossing
shopping center. After a
first-bite visit, I’m ready to
declare it was worth the
wait. The restaurant is
bigger, brighter and can
comfortably fit more diners

than the smaller Puyallup
Ayothaya.
The front entry looked
quite similar to the entry in
Puyallup, but that’s where
the similarities ended,
except for that same gilded
artwork flickering
throughout the dining
room. What I didn’t find so
alluring was the industrial
ductwork and super tall
ceilings — the most
annoying restaurant trend
of the moment — which I’m
speculating will translate to
a lot of restaurant noise at
capacity.
A single visit for a
first-bite report showed the
staff was just as competent,
friendly and detail-oriented
as the original location.
You’ll recognize a few faces
from the other restaurant, if
you’re a regular. Dishes
arrived quickly, water
glasses remained filled and
table check-ins were
frequent. What’s still so
SUE KIDD Staff writer
surprising to me is how the
restaurant keeps its food so
fairly priced, considering the
quality. While many Thai
restaurants have upped
prices to the $12 (or higher)
range, Ayothaya keeps its
entrees in the sweet spot at
$9.59. And, yes, that price
does include the rice. The
rice upcharge of $1.50 or
more at other restaurants
annoys me for so many
reasons.
I dug into a sauteed
Chinese eggplant dish with
tofu ($9.59) and renewed
my appreciation for the
kitchen’s skilled hand with
balancing ginger, garlic and
lemongrass. A calamari
salad ($8.99), served warm
like larb, combined tender
calamari rings with a fiery
roasted chili dressing
carrying a salty-sour seesaw
of fish sauce and lime.
Sauteed pork in phad ped
($9.59) screamed the
spiciest with a red curry
sauce that accurately
reflected those four stars I
requested. Yes, the
restaurant is worth the
drive.

Dumpling joint set
for Commerce Street
BY SUE KIDD
Staff writer
Pelmeni and vareniki,
those delicious dumpling
cousins of Eastern European
pierogi. And Russian red
cabbage. And borscht.
Andrey Tokar is about to
bring his modern take on a
Russian dumpling shop to
downtown Tacoma. Expect a
summer opening for Vostok
Dumpling House at 1126
Commerce St. The
restaurant will be next door
to Dunagan Brewing Co.,
also under construction.
This will be the second
Vostok restaurant. Tokar
opened his first restaurant
three years ago in Seattle’s
bustling Capitol Hill
neighborhood. Although
Tokar has operated Vostok in
Seattle, he’s a Lake Tapps
resident. He’ll run both
restaurants with his sister,
Anna Motso, a graduate of
South Seattle Community
College’s culinary arts
program.
Those familiar with the
Capitol Hill restaurant
should expect the same style
of food and atmosphere,
Tokar said. Vostok is a casual
dine-in restaurant that also
offers take-out. In Tacoma,
Tokar has plans for delivery
service throughout
downtown Tacoma.
Dumplings come in half
or full orders, priced from
$5-$10, with a short list of
Russian, Ukrainian and
Northwest brews, and cider.
He’ll also serve bread from
Fife’s Kusher Bakery, a
popular item at his Seattle
restaurant.
Tokar, who was born in
western Ukraine and grew
up in South Seattle, said his
dumpling house is a
modern-Northwest take on
the dumpling cafes he
remembers from his
childhood in Ukraine. “Back
home, we have these
dumpling houses. They’re

HOUSE

summer at 1126 Commerce

considered quick eats.” He
described cafes with
high-top standing tables for
waiting while the dumplings
boiled.
While those places were
more grab-and-go, Tokar
said his restaurant will have
about 30 seats for dining in.
“We’re not really aiming for
a high-end dining
experience. It’s more of a
casual place with quick eats,”
he said, describing a menu
of pure Eastern European
comfort eating.
Vostok’s menu includes a
short list of pelmeni and
vareniki dumplings with
mix-and-match sauces
ranging from a vinegar
sauce, sour cream, thyme or
garlic cream. Side dishes
include the Russian cabbage
salad, borscht soup and
markovka, the shredded
carrot salad.
There’s quite a bit of
movement happening with
Seattle restaurants opening
in Tacoma. Take a look:
Chow Foods: Opening in
Proctor in 2016 is a
restaurant from Peter Levy,
the owner of Chow Foods,
which operates popular
Seattle eateries Hi-Life, 5
Spot, Endolyne Joe’s and
TNT Taqueria in Seattle. The
restaurant will open at
North 26th and North Alder
streets in Tacoma.
Rhein Haus Tacoma: The
Seattle outfit that owns the
Bavarian beer hall and bocce
emporium Rhein Haus is
duplicating that restaurant
in Tacoma. Expect a 2016
opening for Rhein Haus.
Ale House
in UP back
open at last
BY SUE KIDD
Staff writer
Nearly two years after a
fire damaged its kitchen, the
Ale House Pub and Eatery in
University Place reopened
Monday. The staff started
serving at 11 a.m.
So much has changed
since that fire shuttered the
longtime
eatery. The
pub is
reopening
with new
owners, a
new menu
and some
cosmetic
upgrades to
the dining
room. (Fire

contained to the kitchen.)
What’s the same? There
are still 64 beers on tap.
There’s still shuffleboard.
And there’s still
family-friendly seating and
dining.
“We didn’t change the
taps; we’ll have a strong
emphasis on Northwest
breweries,” said Jon Ecklund,
who co-owns the restaurant
with business partner Peter
Delyanis. They’re both
experienced in the business
world, but this is a first pub
and eatery for both. They
purchased the building and
business from the Dickens
family, who had owned the
Ale House since 2000.
The menu will still list
burgers and sandwiches.
They’ve added a few other
items, too.
Two years is a long time to
wait for a restaurant
reopening. Why did it take
so long? There were
construction delays and
permit complications. There
were updates needed to the
building. There was the
