King County Sheriff's Detective Joe Gagliardi told participants in a Burien gang awareness seminar on Nov. 13 that the gang problem in King County is growing, but something can still be done.
"We are not Los Angeles," he said.
1. The resident of an apartment unit at 952 Southwest Campus Drive contacted Federal Way police to report that he had received some suspicious looking documents in the mail. The incident took place around 9 a.m. on the morning of October 7. The man told police that he had received the documents but he believed that they might not be legitimate. The man is from Mexico, and he had returned to Federal Way after several months there. The documents stated that the man owed $11,000 to the IRS for income he earned going back to 2001-2002.
Probably one can say the Skyline Spartans were just a better football team -- nationally ranked, No. 1 in the state --than the unranked Federal Way Eagles, who were just no match.
PUYALLUP-For the Christian Faith of Federal Way volleyball team, Saturday, Nov. 1, was a day of mixed blessings that ultimately resulted in a fourth place seed in Saturday (after press time) Tri-District tournament action in Edmonds.
In the morning match up at Chief Leschi High School, Christian Faith qualified for Tri-District from its wild card status with a 3-0 sweep of King’s West in the SeaTac 2B league tournament.
It was a balanced effort that featured contributions from several Eagle athletes.

Orr, Peterson at Concordia
Todd Beamer graduate Brittany Orr and Decatur graduate Jenna Peterson are now playing for the Concordia women’s soccer team. Orr is a 5-foot-7 freshman defender and Peterson is a 5-5 freshman defender.
Perhaps this is also true in education. At the October 28th School Board meeting a presentation of the "Achievement of the Students of Federal Way Students" was made.

'Quantum of Solice' disappoints
Quantum of Solace
Directed by Marc Forster

James Bond, the legendary spy created by Ian Fleming, oozes confidence. He is assured in his training, his abilities, his charm and his mission.
"Quantum of Solace," the latest Bond outing and second since the series rebooted with 2006's "Casino Royale," could use a little of that confidence.
It would be an understatement to say that Seattle knows coffee. Beth Scribner knows good coffee. She brings eight years of caf/ management experience, a passion for quality coffee, and love of caf/ culture to Aster Coffee Lounge.
Named after the wildflower - from the Latin root astrum, meaning "star" - because it reminded Scribner of gardening, hiking, and the outdoors, she opened her business in March 2008.
Residents of Ballard would be best advised to support local businesses and forget about going downtown on any but the most important trips because it soon may become too expensive and take far too long to go there.
As we all know the Sword of Damocles hangs over our heads because the governor said she will order her Washington State Department of Transportation to rip down the Alaskan Way Viaduct in 2012, less than four years from today.
The squabbling and studies and lobbying continue unabated.
