Weeks in advance Gregg broke out his mischievous, knowing grin. Based on past years, he anticipated first light-hearted procrastination, then a few frantic days of selecting, boxing, loading, unloading, unboxing, displaying…all accompanied by frustration and regret over last minute details fallen through in midst of the rush. Dean caught the hint and nudged me to suggest to Phil what Phil was already fretting over deep down below all the rest of the projects on his plate. I know because he occasionally muttered wisps of afterthought: Arundel Books had to get ready for the Seattle Antiquarian Book Fair.

Weeks in advance Gregg broke out his mischievous, knowing grin. Based on past years, he anticipated first light-hearted procrastination, then a few frantic days of selecting, boxing, loading, unloading, unboxing, displaying…all accompanied by frustration and regret over last minute details fallen through in midst of the rush. Dean caught the hint and nudged me to suggest to Phil what Phil was already fretting over deep down below all the rest of the projects on his plate. I know because he occasionally muttered wisps of afterthought: Arundel Books had to get ready for the Seattle Antiquarian Book Fair. 

Thus commenced the light-hearted procrastination. Never having been to one of these events myself, I suggested that we all dress in Renaissance Fair costumes and adopt Old English accents. Dean wrinkled his nose at the prospect of trying to locate for himself a pair of appropriate pantaloons. I tried to coax Phil to my side by promising to make use of my super thrift-shopping skills to find him an important looking cavalier hat…or something! Alas, Phil laid down his veto. “This is serious. Just wear something nice,” he pleaded.

John Doe assaults nurses at Swedish Hospital

Rep. Gael Tarleton (D-Ballard) was selected as a 2015 WiLL Pacesetter and honored during a national conference, “Women at the Tables of Power,” sponsored by the Women Legislators’ Lobby (WiLL) of Women’s Action for New Directions (WAND), in Washington, D.C., on October 5.

WiLL Pacesetters are recognized for their noteworthy legislative service, their contributions to sound, progressive policy, and their groundbreaking leadership in their respective states. Tarleton was chosen for her commitment to excellence and a resolve that the voices of women of all races and stations in life are fully and fairly represented in shaping public policy.

“It’s an honor to be selected alongside this amazing group of women who are all doing great work for their communities,” said Tarleton. “Washington state has been a leader on women’s rights, but we still have work to do. Paid sick and safe leave, income inequality, pay equity, health care – these are just a handful of issues we need to address to ensure we have an economy that works for everyone.”

National Save for Retirement Week is observed Oct. 18 – 24 this year. And this week has some weight behind it, as it is recognized by the U.S. Senate for its importance in encouraging Americans to prepare themselves financially for retirement. Are you doing all you can?

Many of your peers aren’t. About a third of working adults have no retirement savings or pension, according to a survey by the Federal Reserve. And more than half of workers report that the total value of their household’s savings and investments, excluding the value of their primary home and any defined benefit plan (such as a traditional pension), is less than $25,000, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2015 Retirement Confidence Survey.

Such figures help explain why many people are unsure if they’ll ever be able to retire. Nearly 40% of the respondents in the Federal Reserve’s study either have no intention to retire or plan to keep working for as long as possible.

Fauntleroy Church UCC has called the Rev. Leah Atkinson Bilinski to be its new senior minister, starting Nov. 29.

The 335-member congregation chose Rev. Bilinski after a nationwide search for the right combination of talents and passions: preaching, youth programs, service, pastoral care, administration, and community engagement.

Rev. Bilinski earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology and elementary teaching certificate from Grinnell College in 1999, then a master's of divinity from Eden Theological Seminary in 2007. Her experience includes six years as co-pastor at St. Peter’s UCC in Washington, MO, and four months as acting pastor of Ebenezer “Stone Church” UCC in Gerald, MO. She has also had leadership and administrative roles in UCC youth programs and done chaplaincy work in hospital and elder settings.

She will be arriving in Fauntleroy with her husband, Jamie, and two-year-old daughter, Naomi, from Washington, MO, near St. Louis.

Road rage on Chelan
A female motorist was the victim of a very frightening instance of road rage along Chelan Ave. S.W. in the middle of the day on Oct. 6. While speaking with 911 dispatchers the complainant informed them that she was following the suspects’ car while on the phone. The dispatchers asked her to end her pursuit and police made contact with her around 12:43 p.m.

According to the victim the incident began when she attempted to switch lanes at S.W. Spokane St. and W. Marginal WY S.W. As she completed her turn a Chevy suburban, described as being champagne colored, pulled up very close to her back bumper. Seconds later she heard a loud banging noise near her trunk and knew that something had been thrown at her car. When she looked behind her she could see a curly haired man hanging out of the passenger side window of the Chevy.
