something’s brewing at south puget sound community college Unprecedented growth in the craft beer, cider and spirits industries has increased local interest in these trades. Washington state, which provides an ideal location for further growth, has become known as a national and global leader in these businesses. This has led South Puget Sound Community College to work with the community and a board of industry advisers to develop programs in these growth areas. The result is that the college is set to launch its cider making and brewing programs this fall. Distilling will follow a year later.

SPSCC is getting involved to educate the next generation of brewers and distillers, office staff, machinists, and food scientists that will soon be team members and leaders in the industry. “These programs are connected with our industry partners to produce a skilled workforce for the industry,” says Kelly Green, marketing and communications director at SPSCC. According to Valerie Sundby-Thorp, dean of Social Science and Business at SPSCC, the college is not only teaching classes on distilling and brewing but also in conjunction with business classes. “We want the students completing our classes to be able to craft beer and spirits,” she says, “but also to run a successful business with purchasing, human resources and marketing.”

To align with a fall 2017 program launch, SPSCC is actively considering locations for lab-focused course instruction. It’s looking for facilities that are close to the heart of Thurston County and meet the size and equipment requirements to house these programs. Its longer-term vision, however, is to build or renovate facilities on campus or in combination with community Aspiring brewers and distillers should contact SPSCC for partners through the Craft Brewing and Distilling Center. more information. vKARISSA WILSON While it hasn’t implemented for-credit education yet, SPSCC is offering a wide array of non-credit classes, presented in For additional information: partnership with local craft brewers and distillers. These SPSCC businesses have stated that demand for their products is far spscc.edu/brewing outpacing their ability to supply it.

st. martin’s brings celebrity chef ming tsai to the northwest Ming Tsai’s passion for cooking was forged in his formative years. Tsai was raised in Dayton, Ohio, where he spent hours cooking alongside his mother and father at Mandarin Kitchen, their family-owned restaurant. Ming Tsai is the James Beard Award-winning chef/owner of Blue Ginger and Blue Dragon. Both are located in Massachusetts and feature Tsai’s signature East-West cuisine. An Emmy Award winner, Tsai is also the host and executive producer of PBS-TV’s Simply Ming, now in its 13th season, shown locally on KCTS 9. Simply Ming brings a variety of both studio and location cooking to drive inspiration and demonstrate today’s techniques. Tsai is the author of five cookbooks including the interactive Simply Ming in Your Kitchen. In 2012, Tsai was invited by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to represent the U.S. with the Diplomatic Culinary Partnership Initiative/American Chef Corps. The Chef Corps is a network of American chefs that participate with official government programs that use food as a foundation for international diplomacy efforts.

The renowned chef will make a guest appearance in the Northwest at the popular St. Martin’s Gala on Nov. 4 at St. Martin’s University’s Lacey campus. The St. Martin’s Gala: China is a black-tie evening affair featuring an exquisitely prepared five-course dinner, cooking demonstrations by the celebrity chef, and a live auction benefiting St. Martin’s student scholarships. This year’s theme also highlights St. Martin’s many relationships and programs in China. In the Chinese culture, guanxi (pronounced gwan-shee) means to establish human relations to open the door for opportunities. Though the direct translation of guanxi is “relationships,” the concept is much richer and more encompassing. Guanxi not only expresses the relationship of one person to another, it also expresses an obligation of one person to another, built over time through reciprocating acts to show loyalty and trust.

In some definitions, guanxi means “connections.” This closely mirrors the original guiding values of the St. Martin’s Gala: community, hospitality and stewardship. The sponsors for St. Martin’s Gala: China include presenting sponsor Bon Appétit Management Co., reception sponsor Washington State Employees Credit Union, broadcast media sponsor KCTS 9, wine sponsor Maryhill Winery, print sponsor Capitol City Press, and celebrity photo sponsor Anchor Bank.

the mantel, culinary ascent Are you ready to take your love of food to new heights? The Mantel is a sophisticated neighborhood restaurant that delivers traditional meals with a unique flair. Located at Trilogy at Tehaleh, the resort-like community in Bonney Lake, The Mantel will have you feeling right at home in its lodgeinspired atmosphere. The attractive décor is rustic and earthy, with high ceilings, exposed beams and handcrafted glass light fixtures. You can enjoy an intimate night out at a cozy table for two or choose a seat at the spacious bar rail. Regardless, the menu is what sets The Mantel apart.

If you’re a meat connoisseur, try something from the grill. Current options include cedar-plank Pacific salmon, grilled pork chop and a marvelous grilled ribeye. The steak is cooked to perfection with porcini compound butter, paired with bleu cheese mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. “I like to develop my culinary style, which I describe as modern comfort food,” says Cooper. “I believe that with the proper and freshest ingredients, you don’t need a lot of spices to confuse the palate. He adds that one of his favorite recipes to make at the restaurant is a deconstructed pot pie.

Each menu item is handcrafted with only the freshest ingredients that are locally sourced. Among the wide selection of starters is the house favorite, Crispy Brussel Sprouts. Perfectly crunchy on the outside, tossed in a balsamic glaze and mixed with heirloom tomatoes, this light appetizer is so well made it will change the mind of any vegetable hater!

Entrée options include signature dishes like the Pasta Bolognese, an Italian sausage and beef Bolognese with thick pappardelle pasta, which was inspired by executive chef Nathaniel Cooper’s time spent living in Italy. Various sandwich options include the popular Millionaire Burger, a classic compilation of Meyer ground beef, bacon, cheddar club sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion on a butter brioche bun. A selection of artisan pizzas range from spicy Italian to organic mushroom.

The Mantel opened in January 2016 and is currently open to the public. In the near future, however, it will expand its business and go private. If you haven’t had the chance to take your taste buds to elevated places, make sure you stop by soon and experience The Mantel and the Trilogy community. vSARAH GRACE PERSSON For additional Information: 19001 Trilogy Parkway E, Bonney Lake 253.321.8020 themantelrestaurant.com SHOWCASE MAGAZINE

onalaska redesign Jenny and Jesse Garrison inherited a home from Jenny’s parents in 2010. It was her parents’ dream home, built in 1970 and redone in the ’80s, in peach tones, which were popular at the time. The home was in need of a complete remodel, so the Garrisons began by remodeling the kitchen and bath from May 2012 to April 2013. This started the process that would become a remodel of the entire home.

“We love the island in the kitchen,” says Jenny Garrison. “We cook quite a bit. We also love to entertain and three people can work in the space, which was previously a one-person space.” As in the rest of the house, the master bathroom now features the contrast between dark modern cabinetry and light walls and porcelain tile flooring. The vanity, topped with a honed limestone countertop, features a round vessel sink with hand-carved porcelain leaves and a wallmount faucet in oil-rubbed bronze. The large shower is of marble tile with a rain showerhead, and the bathtub is faced with marble tile and dark wood paneling. A modern hutch provides plenty of additional storage.

The Garrisons loved the original dark millwork and continued the contrast throughout the home with cabinetry, built-in furniture and hardwood floors against light-colored walls and ceilings. With a love of travel, the couple brought furniture from Italy that they needed to work around in the remodel. They also integrated much colorful artwork and a Says Jenny Garrison: “Diane was topnotch in terms of what resources she large collection of Depression glass. offered and we were able to make the The kitchen, designed by Diane Gassman house more usable.

wellness summer 2017

olympia orthopaedic associates’ rapid orthopaedic care clinic offers on-the-spot care Bone, joint and muscle injuries and conditions are painful and need prompt treatment. As part of its commitment to caring for the orthopaedic needs of the greater Olympia area, Olympia Orthopaedic Associates recently opened two convenient walk-in rapid orthopaedic care (ROC) clinics for acute orthopaedic injuries. The newest location, just opened in May, is housed within the Westside clinic. Before the ROC clinics opened, patients had been waiting in the ER for hours. “We can now easily get them in and out in 60 minutes,” says Clint Miller, MHS, PA-C. “This is a great option for on-the-job injuries—come in during a lunch hour or after work. It also saves the patient time and money to come straight to the provider.” Providers at the ROC clinic offer immediate care for urgent injuries, such as sprains and strains, dislocations, fractures, and sports injuries, as well as injured, painful or swollen joints. Patient services include X-ray, casting and splinting, and physical therapy, as well as medical equipment.

“Walk-ins are welcome and most are surprised that they do not need a referral,” Miller says. “People are so excited to get in and out with care in a compassionate manner.” “We are really efficient in what we do and we are mindful of the patient’s time,” adds Lynn M. Page, PA-C. “I have patients who want to see us again and again. This is the ultimate compliment.” vKARISSA WILSON For questions and on-the-spot care, walk in or call Rapid Orthopaedic Care 8140 Freedom Lane NE, Lacey 360.754.ROCC (7622) olyortho.com Hours: 10am-7pm, 7 days a week
