Viciously assaulting the rim for 16 points while confidently capturing 10 caroms, Walker led the Class 4A state ninth-ranked Gators to an avenging 57-46 South Puget Sound League boys basketball victory against bitter, crosstown rival and eighth-ranked Federal Way Thursday at the Gator Dome.

On a recent December morning, one of those where the rain falls and falls and falls, Maria Taylor awoke with two responsibilities paramount in her mind: one, her kids, and two, her gutters.
So, she did what working mothers do. She got her kids ready for school, picked up the neighbor kids and headed over to her hair salon on California Avenue. While the kids played in the car, Maria Taylor made sure the rain water from the gutters was being diverted from the building on the outside of the edifice of her salon.
Lewis (at left) and Miles are six and one year old respectively and are Soft Coated Wheaton Terriers. They don?t have fur. They are "Hair Dogs" explained Julie and Steve Friedman, owners of the dogs. The dogs are distant cousins. According to the Friedmans the dogs are "exceptionally
loyal", and were originally bred as Irish farm dogs. They are good pets for people who otherwise have trouble with dog's dander causing an allergic reaction.
This time I am writing about the wonderful Waunda Noorgard. Why? Because it's her birthday! On her 60th, yep, six zero, I want to honor this vital community member.
I have known Waunda for years. I work across the hall from her. I manage Many Moons Trading Company (great thrift) and she holds down the fort at The Sports Junction. Both businesses are located in the back of the walk through hallway on California Ave, next to Capers and behind A Plus Hearing Aid.
I constantly bother Waunda (not that you'd know it, she's very accommodating).
A lot of people woke up at dawn recently and spotted the most beautiful winter moon peering through the bedroom window at the huge saucer was peering over Vashon and Bainbridge islands and begging for a picture to send to sister Norma in Portland.
Not wishing to miss a fleeting second I jumped out of bed, and pajama clad trundled down the stairs in my slippers, grabbed my trusty digital camera and hurried outside to record the historic scene even though the night air, at 28 degrees put my whole trembling body in shock as I ambled across the lawn.

In 1917, the West Seattle Branch Library had a Knitting Club, to help in the War effort. Girls would meet once per week, and while one of their members read out loud, they would knit socks and ambulance pillows out of sturdy wool. A Red Cross volunteer handed out the yarn, and shipped the finished articles to Europe for World War I soldiers. If someone did not know how to "turn the heel" of the sock, perhaps they had a book of instructions nearby, such as "Longman's Complete Course of Needlework, Knitting and Cutting-out" by T. M. James, published in 1901.
I am the spokesperson for 150 families that live on Alki from 63rd to Beach Drive where the (Alki) Community Council has proposed a sidewalk on the water side of the street. On first look the project sounds great until you see the real impact it would have on a very old and stable neighborhood.
The project would eliminate up to 30 parking places in front of home in an area already impacted by the people using the park and the restaurants along Alki.
