NPR STATION KNKX UNVEILS NEW HOME
V THREE STUDIOS
The space was designed by V Three Studios in St. Louis, preserving the historic features of the C.N. Gardner Building and making the space bright and dynamic. KNKX FM 88.5, the region’s National Public Radio affiliate, is now broadcasting from its new studio at 930 Broadway. This culminates the station’s transformation that began in 2016 from being KPLU and based on the campus of Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland
to its new name and new home in the heart of downtown Tacoma, where station management hopes the more accessible location will allow for more interaction with listeners as well as events that are open to the public. “KNKX’s new home is ideally located in the heart of the city,” said KNKX President and General Manager Joey Kohn. “The process to determine a new station location, design, build and raise the funds to make it all possible started three years ago, after KNKX was saved by the community. Our listeners’ kindness, generosity and belief make this next step in the story of our independence a reality.” Designed by V Three Studios of St. Louis, the station occupies 7,625 square feet in the historic C.N. Gardner Building. Floor to ceiling windows allow in much natural light, as well as an opportunity to passersby to view the happenings within. The design features a combination of the building’s 1906 architecture of red brick and Greek columns, while allowing for the state-of-the-art technical needs of a modern station. Erik Hanberg, the station’s marketing and communications director, said KNKX signed a long-term lease on the building. Office space was still being set

HAP GAYLORD’S PASSING IS A LOSS FOR ALL OF TACOMA BY MATT NAGLE matt@tacomaweekly.com
When born and bred Tacoman Hap Gaylord passed away on Aug. 25, a piece of Tacoma died with him. It was 1958 when he established Hap’s Westside Auto Repair and Hap’s Towing in what is now called University Place and ever since then it has been a landmark for those who live around here. Hap himself was a landmark as well – one of the last of the businessmen from that era when making a buck came second to making a friend. That was Hap’s business philosophy and it served him beautifully throughout his 60 years behind the front counter. Hap came into the world at St. Joseph’s hospital in 1930. The city of University Place didn’t exist yet (it incorporated in 1995), nor were paved roads the norm. Today’s U.P. thoroughfare Mildred Street was known as Anderson Pierce Road and it was a dirt road. Oswald’s Flying Service airport and flight school were across the street from where Hap’s was located at 6802 27th St. W., until it moved to Gig Harbor and is now known as the Tacoma Narrows Airport. Back then, in the late 1950s and into the ’60s when commercial tow trucks started being dispatched, Hap’s was the towing com-
pany in the Puget Sound area. FRIENDS AND FAMILY The business was indeed a family affair. Hap’s children – Shelley, Derek, Greg and Gerald – all worked at the wrecking yard at some point in their lives. The business enjoyed the help of a couple hundred employees as well over the years, some who stayed a very long time – like Dick Peterson for close to 40 years beginning in the late ’70s, and Gene Gaylord, Hap’s brother, for 57 years, from 1960 until 2017. Hap was glad to share his knowledge in auto repair with employees and they learned GEYLORD FAMILY from the best.

HISTORIC EXHIBIT DIGS INTO HIDDEN HISTORY OF TACOMA SCHOOLS Since its beginning in a one-room cabin in Old Town in 1869, the history of Tacoma’s schools has spanned 150 years. Tacoma Historical Society’s newest exhibit, “Old School Tacoma: Hidden History Revealed,” digs into the hidden history of the past, revealing what may have been forgotten, or is beyond the lifespan of our collective memory. • See what our schools looked like, how they began, and what important things happened within them. • Learn how they were shaped by the communities they served and by changing ideas about what schools should do and how they should look. • Realize the impact of city growth, major historical events, the social justice movement, and disasters – both natural and of our own making. “We thought it was important that the exhibit be developed with student participation,” said Tacoma Historical Society Curator Brendan Balaam. “In the spring, University of Washington-Tacoma student Leah Mallett compiled research on the Cushman Native American School and on Tacoma’s Japanese Language School. Another UWT student, Alyssa Urish, contributed a chapter from her graduate thesis on school desegregation in Tacoma. This summer we were fortunate to again participate in the University of Puget Sound’s intern program. UPS
seniors Eli Whelan and Allyson Niitani researched and developed the exhibit’s main themes, visited school locations, and gathered photos and artifacts.” “This truly has been a community effort,” said Tacoma Historical Society’s Managing Director Michael Lafreniere. “We worked closely with Joey Grant, public records manager for Tacoma Schools, who is currently evaluating the status of the school district’s archives.” Society volunteers will assist in the fabrication and installation of the exhibit. Upcoming Events Visit the Tacoma Historical Society website or follow Tacoma Historical Society on social media to stay informed about exhibit-themed events taking place over the next several months. Did you know? • Tacoma’s early schools were identified by their geographic location – North, South, East, West, First Ward, and Central. • In May of 1889, as additional schools were under construction, school superintendent Franklin B. Gault announced that Tacoma’s schools would be named after prominent American authors. • Tacoma schools honored Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John

UPDATE: DEFENDERS OF HOLY ROSARY CHURCH INVIGORATED MORE THAN EVER BY MATT NAGLE matt@tacomaweekly.com
Parishioners at Holy Rosary Catholic Church are feeling very positive about their progress to save the church from demolition. A spirited community meeting was held on Aug. 29 where information was shared, plans were laid and the sense of unity reinforced. Among those present was Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards, who took a moment to address the gathering. Her voice quavered as she talked about her personal attachment to Holy Rosary from the time she was a young girl. “I also had the pleasure of working at the Tacoma Urban League just down the street and from my very office, the most beautiful pictures I took were of this steeple and Mt. Rainier,” she said. “It is an icon and I’m standing with you to figure out what we can do to make sure that this church goes absolutely nowhere.” The large turnout for the meeting was made up not just of church members, but also a good number of local Tacomans wanting to do their part to save the landmark Holy Rosary from demolition. Just a week ago, Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain declared that the price tag to fully repair, restore and maintain Holy Rosary is “simply unaffordable” and decreed that the church would need to be taken down. Parishioners disagreed, and are leading the charge to organize the greater community and formally appeal the archbishop’s decision. They’re raising money too – $2 million to get the church open for worship then $18 million for complete restoration. So far, around $400,000 has been raised in just a week, and this doesn’t take into account pledges that have come in for work materials, labor and such should Holy Ro-
sary move forward with repairs. The official appeal is being drafted by Massachusetts attorney Brody Hale, who specializes in church law and is founder of the Catholic Church Preservation Society. To date, he has saved 15 church structures and prayers are that he can do the same for Holy Rosary. Once the appeal is filed next week, the archbishop has 30 days to respond. At the meeting, Save Tacoma’s Landmark Church board member Jonathan Carp explained that the archbishop has 30 days to act in one of three ways: he can approve the appeal (the best outcome), deny it or ignore it. If he denies or ignores it, Holy Rosary parishioners have 10 days to appeal to Rome. If an appeal to Rome is necessary, Carp said the timeline opens up considerably as things move in the Vatican bureaucracy as slowly as would happen in dealing with any governing body. Raising money is key to saving the church, as Carp explained. “Do the resources exist to restore and maintain Holy Rosary Church? If we can prove that they do, we win. The code of Canon Law says we win,” he said. Something that could play in Holy Rosary’s favor is that Archbishop Sartain’s decree came just days before he was to step down from his post. Archbishop Paul D. Etienne is now in that position. “We waited six months for that decree to come down but we knew in July that a new archbishop was coming,” said Save Tacoma’s Landmark Church board member Joy Donohue, noting that Holy Rosary has had no communication from him yet, but she’s hoping for the best. “He’s younger and has some history of dealing with parishes that either need saving or combined…. He has a bigger reputation for working with the people. What we don’t know is what the archdiocese has to say about

him going against another archbishop’s opinion. We’ll see.” While it’s true that Holy Rosary Church belongs to the archdiocese, the building is on the Tacoma Landmarks Preservation Commission’s list of historic landmarks, which is significant and brings further hope that the city can help save it. As Woodards told the crowd, there are a lot of steps to go through to even begin the process of tearing down a historically significant building. “It is an historic landmark in the city of Tacoma. You can’t just make a decision to do something without doing what’s required by law,” she said to a cheering audience. City of Tacoma Hisu See CHURCH / page 5

He said that Holy Rosary was among the first buildings to receive landmark status when the city began the landmark process in 1975. There are procedures to follow when it comes to the fate of Tacoma landmarks and it’s a months-long process. “For city landmarks, there’s another piece – the landmarks commission, which reviews permits that come through to make sure they are historically appropriate and all measures and considerations have been taken to ensure the best possible outcome,” he said. The process includes public hearings and opportunities for citizen comment, and the commission can ask for additional expert reports as well. McKnight said that no permit applica-

RAINIERS CLOSE OUT 2019 SEASON The Rainiers finished their 2019 season with a 61-78 record in last place of the PCL Pacific North Division. The 61 wins gives manager Daren Brown 494 all-time as the Tacoma skipper, making him the winningest manager in franchise history. The Rainiers open the 2020 season at Cheney Stadium on April 9. It will be the 61st season on professional baseball in Tacoma and the franchise’s 26th campaign as the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. Find the Rainiers 2020 home schedule at www.wertacoma. com/r2020schedule. Here is a rundown of the team’s final three games. Misiewicz propels Rainiers to Las Vegas win Anthony Misiewicz missed quite a few bats on Saturday, Aug. 31, punching out 10 Las Vegas hitters over six strong innings leading the Rainiers to a 3-2 victory over Las Vegas and grabbing his eighth win on the season for Tacoma. Misiewicz (8-6) surrendered five hits and three walks but allowed just one run in his sixth quality start with the Rainiers. The 24-year-old capped an overpowering month of August with a 3-0 record and a 1.57 ERA in five starts. In five of his last six starts, the southpaw has gone five or more innings and given up one or no runs. The Rainiers started the scoring in the first inning when Shed Long put Tacoma onRFC-Ad-4.75x7.88-09-18-19.pdf the board with a leadoff home 1 run off Grant Holmes.
The Aviators then tied the ballgame at one before the Rainiers came back to re-take the lead in the sixth inning. Tacoma scored on an RBI single off the bat of Jordan Pacheco, bringing the score to 2-1 in favor of the Rainiers. Tacoma kept Las Vegas off the scoreboard before building their lead to 3-1 in the eighth inning when the Rainiers picked up a run on Eric Filia's leadoff home run off Miguel Romero. The Rainiers gave up one Las Vegas run in the ninth but Matt Carasiti left the potential tying and winning runs in scoring position to end the game, earning the save. Offensively, Tacoma was paced by Filia, who went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and an RBI, marking the second time Filia has gone yard this season. Long compiled a standout day at the dish as well, going 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI, his ninth long ball of the year. Pacheco also contributed for the Rainiers, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Ryan Garton was excellent out of the bullpen as well for the Rainiers, throwing one scoreless inning while limiting Las Vegas to one hit, walking none and striking out one. As a unit, Tacoma scored their three runs on nine hits, four of which went for extra bases, including two home runs. The Rainiers also drew two free passes from Las Vegas pitchers.

Nolin gave up two runs on six hits and two walks in his final start of the campaign. The southpaw had nine strikeouts through the first three frames, and his 11 whiffs are the most in a single game for a Tacoma pitcher since James Paxton accomplished the feat on June 22, 2013 against Fresno. The lone Rainiers run came on an RBI single off the bat of Jaycob Brugman in the first inning. Tacoma was within a run heading into the bottom of the eighth, but a six-run Las Vegas rally put the contest out of reach. Eric Filia led the way offensively for Tacoma, going 3-for-4 with a double along with a walk. His three hits improve his batting average to .325 this season. Jordan Pacheco also chipped in for Tacoma, going 2-for-4. Gerson Bautista also pitched well for the Rainiers, throwing 1 1/3 scoreless innings while limiting Las Vegas to no hits, walking two, and striking out three. As a collective, Tacoma pushed across their one run in the contest off of eight hits, one of which went for extra bases. The Rainiers also drew five walks from Las Vegas pitchers. Brugman homers one last time
The Tacoma Rainiers out-hit Las Vegas on Labor Day Monday, including a solo home run from outfielder Jaycob Brugman, but the Aviators topped Tacoma on the final day of the regular season, 3-2. Brugman crushed his team-best 23rd home run in the top of the eighth inning at Las Vegas Ballpark, cutting the deficit to one, but the Rainiers failed to score again in the one-run contest. The outfielder was one of four Tacoma (61-78) hitters to log a multi-hit game on Monday, joining third baseman Shed Long (2-for-5), right fielder Eric Filia (2-for-4) and catcher Joe Odom (2-for-4). Tacoma got an RBI fielder’s choice from Aaron Knapp, who plated Odom in the top of the fourth. Right-hander Andrew Moore (0-5) got the nod for the Rainiers and was charged with all three Las Vegas (83-57) runs in 5 2/3 innings on five hits and a walk. Moore, who was unable to win a game with Tacoma this season, struck out four hitters in his final outing. Ryan Garton, the team’s Pitcher of the Year Award recipient, recorded the final out of the sixth inning and faced just one batter. Nabil Crismatt had a strong final appearance by pitching two scoreless innings with six strikeouts and only one hit allowed.

t Hap From page 1 27th Street. “Curt Kendall sold new parts and my dad sold used parts,” Greg explained. “They looked so much alike that they always called each other ‘brother.’ Dad would say, ‘Go see my brother at the bottom of the hill’ and Curt would say, ‘Go see my brother at the top of the hill.’ They had this working relationship forever.” To make sure that customers could find his shop, Hap built a giant HAP’S sign for the top of the building in huge block letters and lined them with 52 working headlights. “They were so bright that because of Oswald’s Airport, the FAA made him turn it off because it was blinding the runway,” Greg recalled with a chuckle. “Who would build a sign like that and aim it right at an airport? My dad – that’s who.” He said this is one of his favorite stories to tell of his dad. Another funny story is about the time Hap’s car broke down on the side of the road in U.P. The hood was open and there was Hap leaning over the engine as his friends and neighbors drove by giving
Hap in 1968. him a honk and a big wave – and just kept driving. Since Hap was the famous local mechanic, no one thought to stop and help. Luckily, Hap was so adept at auto repair that he simply used a piece of foil to fix the points in the engine and was able to drive back to the shop. In fact, Greg has many, many stories of his dad’s adventures around town, as does Hap’s longtime employee and dear friend Paul Andres. Andres started working for Hap when he was just 15 years old and Hap was around 28. Andres worked for Hap through high school and by age 17 he was running the tow trucks and picking up wrecked vehicles around town. There weren’t many 17-year-olds that could take on this kind of responsibility, but there Andres was, loving his job and making his boss proud. Even today, Andres is still a large part of Hap’s life and family and is appreciated greatly. Andres told of the time when he was winching a car that had gone off the road and Hap came by. A police officer at the scene walked up and struck up a conversation with Hap. As Andres tells it, the cop said, “That guy running your wrecker is a little bit young, isn’t he?” Hap says, “Did he damage anything?” The cop said, “No, he didn’t put a scratch on it.” Hap turned to him and said, “Well, I guess he’s doing all right then.” EVERYONE KNEW HIS NAME Hap was a consummate hat wearer – fedoras, ski caps, bowler hats... His son Greg named his coffee business Bowler Coffee Company, at 12161 Pacific Ave. S., in honor of his dad’s style. “The bowler
hat is known as the working man’s hat and because of my dad’s work ethic and the ethic and skills he shared with his family and friends, I named my company after a gentleman’s working hat, a true gentleman, my dad,” Greg ex-
Son Greg Gaylord and his wife Cindy on a fun day out with Hap. plained. University Place in Hap’s day was a small town. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. He didn’t care what color you were or your political affiliations – if you were respectful and nice to him, he would be that way with you. “He liked it when people would just come in, sit down and hang out – pickle barrel politics,” Greg said. “That was the big thing – my dad behind the counter and the fireplace with all the chairs. That’s the biggest thing about the wrecking yard: There wasn’t a day you wouldn’t find half a dozen people there just hanging out.” For years, Hap donated cars to the U.P. fire station for training in extricating people from wrecked cars. He also donated cars and motors to the Curtis High School auto shop for students to learn with. “Most of the people who know this are gone. He outlasted everybody,” Greg said. “My dad preferred to do his good deeds in private. He never would seek thanks or accolades. He was always about paying it forward and doing random things to help people. He was an under-the-radar kind of guy.” Hap worked – that’s how he gave back to the community. “Six days a week he was open and on the seventh day he’d probably still be working. He worked
Riding around town earlier this year. when anyone called him and the towing was seven days a week.” “He was always helpful to the kids,” Andres said. “They’d come in with their hotrods or cars that were broken down and he always made time to explain and show them how to do things. He would never charge for the time. He was just glad to help.” Greg agrees. “He just really loved his life in University Place and never really wanted to go anywhere else. He liked the people and loved the area.” A FEW FUNNY STORIES… Hap was very close friends with Har-
old and Nancy LeMay. Having their mutual love of the automobile in common brought them together as did their enjoyment of just being around each other. “My dad would tell the funny story of how Nancy had always wanted a brass bed and how he had found her one. The funny part is when Harold called him at 3 a.m. while endlessly polishing that brass bed saying, ‘Hap, If another man buys your wife a bed, he should have to polish the bed!’” Then there are tales of Duke the dog – part boxer and part Great Dane. Hap accidentally ran over Duke’s head with a Hudson sedan and Duke just got up, shook his head and went on his way. It didn’t even faze Duke when he went flying forward in the tow truck and his head denting the dashboard. Duke rode the school bus too. He would sneak onto the bus from Hap’s home located at the bottom of 27th Street and jump off at Hap’s Auto at the top of the hill because he wanted to go to work too, Greg said.
Hap and granddaughter Gracie wearing welder’s goggles to see the 2017 solar eclipse.
Hap always wore a hat, like the bowler he’s sporting here. So many stories – the type that console a person when a dear loved one has passed on. In his last remaining golden years, Hap lived with his son Greg, his daughter-in-law Cindy, his granddaughters Allie and Gracie and surrounded by family and friends. He was blessed to live with his family who doted on him and to spend every day with the people he loved the most. “If there was anything he’d want, it would be for people to genuinely take care of and be nice to each other, no matter who they are,” Greg said. On behalf of his father, Greg sends out a big “Thank you!” to the whole community – for the kindnesses, the friendships, the memories. It was a wonderful life in University Place. Now that Hap is gone, the Hap’s property is closed and up for sale. It marks the end of an era, but one not forgotten by Hap’s friends and family who continue to tell his stories, laugh and appreciate the man for the outstanding person that he was.

SCREEN PRINTS AND PORCELAIN GO BACK TO SCHOOL AT GALLERY BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
Janet Marcavage, a professor of art at the University of Puget Sound and chair of its Department of Art and Art History, pairs up with local porcelain artist Lois Harbaugh in two exhibits that opened this week
KITTREDGE GALLERY
Lois Harbaugh: Detail inside Installation, dimensions variable, 2019
to begin the new school year at Kittredge Gallery on the UPS campus. Marcavage explores elements of light, space and color in her exhibit, “Prints at Play.” An overall motif of geometric shapes is displayed in all of these recent works. In her artist statement, she explains being intrigued by the folding, bending and turning of two-dimensional planes, as well as being inspired by playing with her young child. Indeed, one can imagine the images being educational in nature, revealing geometric patterns while also being pleasing to the eye with the bright color schemes. The display begins with “Compose,” screen prints in four panels with yellow triangles and two sticks of various colors. “Enfold” is nine white panels, each containing three triangles. “Stack” has cut etching prints of small shapes, stacked on top of one another, as the title would suggest. Octagons and circles in blue and purple are utilized on this piece. “Expand” is a unique screen print installation of blocks in bright yellow and orange. “Loop-de-loop” Is a flat surface upon which rests eight ribbons, not much larger than what one might wear as a lapel pin to raise awareness of a cause. “Harbaugh” displays porcelain pieces fired by Pat Colyar at Kirkland Art Center. On the right is “The Vessel Alphabet,” three terra cotta objects on a pedestal about five feet off the ground. The companion piece on the left is four similar objects, the cold finish technique showing off the reddish-orange hue of the material. “Using the Good China” is a rack containing six tea cups, a bit absurd to see an item this tall with fragile objects dangling from its arms. The centerpiece is “Market now!” You can’t take it
with you. There’s no room in the coffin.” It is a coffin on the floor, filled with a variety of porcelain items. As Harbaugh explained during her artist talk, in ancient cultures some people were buried with their personal effects under the belief they would be useful in the afterlife. Instead, the wealth stays behind in this realm, as evidenced by the archeological finds of burials grounds ranging from common peasants to monarch such as King Tut. Harbaugh displays strong pottery skills, but the exhibit seems too small and lacking a real connecting thread between the items to quite sew it all together. The exhibits will be on display through Oct. 18 at the gallery, located at the corner of North Lawrence and North 15th streets in Tacoma. It is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday noon to 5 p.m. Admission is always free.

HOLLYWOOD EPIC AND RUSSIAN THRILLER SET TO SCREEN AT MCGAVICK FAB FEST BY PHIL RASCHKE On Saturday, Sept. 14, the Lakewood Film, Art and Book (FAB) Fest will be featuring two outstanding, award-winning films based on true events. The first film, "The Death of Stalin," is the brilliantly acted and critically acclaimed story concerning the rush by Stalin's comrades to save the government and their own skins following his sudden death in 1953. The outstanding cast features Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev, Jason Issacs as Field Marshall Zhukov and Olga Kurylenko as Yudina. The film, directed by Oscar nominated Armando Iannucci, plays at 4 p.m. and is rated R. It is rated 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The second film plays at 7 p.m. and features the intense, beautifully filmed epic "Khartoum." The film chronicles the historical events of 1885 when a Muslim uprising threatens Egyptian control of the Sudan. In an ill-fated attempt to calm the situation, Britain sends the famous General Charles "Chinese" Gordon to assess the situation. Charlton Heston plays Gordon and Lawrence Olivier plays the Muslim leader Muhammad Ahmad the self proclaimed "Mahdi" (The Expected One). This sweeping epic is rated PG-13 and also stars the dashing Richard Johnson the original actor picked to play 007. Admission and parking are Free. All seating is on a first come basis. Doors open at noon and a concession stand will be available. Come early and enjoy the author and art exhibits before the films. The McGavick Center address is 4500 Steilacoom

By popular demand, Brass Band NW returns to showcase their unique blend of music ranging from the classics to the Top 100, combining the rich sonority of a full symphony orchestra with the incisive rhythm of a jazz band. The band was founded with the goal of sharing the vibrant and exciting sound of all-brass music throughout the Pacific Northwest. Though grounded in the tradition of the British brass band, Brass Band NW’s library of more than 400 works ranges from Renaissance composers such as Giovanni Gabrieli to contemporary works such as the sound track for the video game “Halo.” In addition to the band’s annual concert series at First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue, the players perform
at a variety of other events, such as the Leavenworth Christmas Lighting Festival, Yarrow Point’s Independence Day Celebration, Seattle Mariners games and Classical Tuesdays in Old Town. Brass Band NW is a great choice for
outdoor performances. As a 30-member brass and percussion group, the music can easily be heard where ambient noise levels often cover other groups. For most events, Brass Band NW does not require amplification and therefore
can perform without electricity. Learn more at Enjoy live recordings of the band by following the links at www.BrassBandNW.org. Also at www.youtube.com/ user/brassbandnorthwest.
