The City of Burien will soon embark on an official branding process as a way to define itself, grow community pride, and expand the economy. Over the course of the next eight to nine months, JayRay will guide the community through a multi-phased process that includes research, outreach, the creation of brand identity and messaging, and graphic design. The branding initiative is one of five priority economic development goals and actions the City Council set for 2015-2016.
 
“A community’s brand plays a big role in defining and relaying its success,” said Dan Trimble, Burien Economic Development Manager. “All sorts of brand impressions are created for Burien by people who maybe don’t know Burien as well as the community itself does, and we want to make sure we’re telling our story ourselves, authentically and effectively. We need a brand that is up to date and an ongoing branding effort that supports the community’s vision.”

The manhunt for Kevin M. Vaughn, the 26-year-old biker believed to have ambushed and fired upon police officers in Tukwila in August, was ended last week in Lynnwood. Police arrested Vaughn on Oct.15 and booked him into the King County Jail with a bail amount set to $321,000. His first arraignment hearing was set for Oct. 22 but was subsequently postponed until Oct. 26. An arraignment hearing for an attempting to elude charge from Sept. 22 will be held on Oct. 29. A possible trial date is currently set for Nov. 3.

Vaughn has made a name for himself with his lengthy criminal record, being described by Tukwila PD as a “prolific auto thief”, and has gained notoriety for the “Hatred” tattoo that scrolls across his forehead. Since 2007 there have been over 20 warrants out for his arrest, four of which were active when he was taken into custody on Oct. 15.

By Mrs. Jerry Robinson as told by Richard, a real shaggy dog.

MY name is Richard the Tiger. I’m a dog. A rather handsome black and white fellow of undetermined origin. I am small but mighty. I am presently employed by the editor of this paper as a watch dog, court jester and hunting companion. (Scuze me a minute while I rearrange my fleas).
 
I have held this position for some time now and if I had known what the future held for me I would never have left the sanctuary of my cell down at the pound. 

This Robinson is a nice enough fella in his way but I can state positively and I do so without rancor, as a hunter he’s strictly for the birds. 
This brings me to the point of this interview.

Last week (I knew I should have dug up those bones I stashed away and hit the road). Last week I spotted old scatter shot loading the car with the usual hunting paraphernalia. Three pairs of shoes, sleeping sack, extra pants, two jackets, ouija board, hatchet, Geiger counter, space ranger helmet, a box of seed (he swiped that from our parakeet) and 24 peanut butter sandwiches.

Oh, yes, after we were nearly a mile from the house he had  to go back for a gun and some shells.

"A lot of people have asked me, ‘Would have you gone to college if the 13th Year Promise Scholarship hadn’t happened?” said Carmen Berrysmith, a student at South Seattle College and featured speaker during the college's major scholarship announcement Monday morning.

"And the answer is ’no.’” she said. "My mom has a full-time job but there are five children in the house, and there are mortgages to pay and grandparents to take care of. There are car payments. You know how the bills pile up. I didn’t want to ask my mom who’s given me so much in life, for another thousand dollars per quarter. That’s not something you want to do to people who are struggling."

In just a few days, witches, zombies and vampires will be converging on your house, asking for candy. As is the case every Halloween, you’ll likely be merely amused over the sight of these costumed characters. But in other areas of life, such as the investment world, you may need to watch out for some seemingly scary entities. Here are a few of them:Beware of Scary Inhabitants of the Investment World

• The Horrendous Headline – Big, glaring headlines rarely offer any comfort to investors. Whether it’s political squabbles at home, conflicts in the Middle East or the debt crisis in the eurozone, there’s always something happening that’s perceived as jeopardizing the stability of the financial markets. Yet these threats are often overblown, and the markets have proven quite resilient for decades. Here in the United States, the most powerful economic engine in the history of the world has offered investment opportunities as crises have come and gone.
