There are no roads leading to Shaktoolik, a small Alaskan fishing village but, that didn't stop Our Lady of Guadalupe fifth and sixth-grade students Erika and Julia Guerette from sending books to the small school in this remote village.
In March, Grant Jacobson traveled by plane to Shaktoolik to volunteer at a checkpoint for the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Jacobson is a coworker of Erika and Julia's Father Mark Guerette.
The disadvantages of a four-period day at West Seattle High School outweigh the advantages and are "polarizing the adult community," according to an audit that examined the school's 12-year-old schedule.
The audit team, consisting of former teachers and administrators, "highly recommends" the school "blank slate the schedule" and look at "alternatives beyond the two traditionally offered," the four 85-minute periods or six 55-minute periods.
West Seattle High implemented the four-period day in 1994 to meet 11 goals of its restructuring plan.
West Seattle High School reversed itself and will offer a ninth-grade honors program next year after all.
"I am pleased to announce that, following discussions with our WSHS community and senior leadership of Seattle Public Schools, WSHS will indeed offer two ninth-grade honors houses for 2006-2007," wrote Principal Susan Ders/ on the school's website. Ders/ did not return calls asking for comment.
Last month, the principal and faculty decided not to offer a separate honors program for incoming ninth-graders next year.
The Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal probably ranks low as a terrorist target because other routes have bigger boats in more congested areas, said the director of Washington State Ferries.
Security specialists assume that if terrorists decided to blow up a ferryboat, they would be more likely to select a jumbo II-class ferry that can carry 2,500 passengers, said W. Michael Anderson, executive director of the state ferry system. They might attack a ferry from downtown bound for Bremerton, where the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is located, said Anderson.
While West Seattleites worry about commuting and meeting appointments downtown, Seattle's maritime and commercial fishing industries have their own concerns about the upcoming replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct.
Much of the fuel that runs commercial ships and fishing boats at Fishermen's Terminal comes from oil refineries on Harbor Island. Tanker trucks use the viaduct to get from Ballard to Harbor Island, a trip that normally takes 15 to 20 minutes, said Warren Aakervik, owner of Ballard Oil Co.
The Southwest Precinct's Anti-Crime Team, with a welcome assist from Mother Nature, recently put a dent into the methamphetamine trade in West Seattle, making five arrests and seizing over a kilo of illegal drugs, $6,000 cash, a car and a handgun.
In February, patrol officers responded to a domestic violence call at a home in the 8000 block of Fauntleroy Southwest. During the incident and arrest, the officers recovered a significant quantity of methamphetamine.
Eleven different personalities join the cast to sing and dance and entertain in ArtsWest's family musical Just So and they are captivating, rambunctious, and tremendously insightful in the re-telling of the charming, funny Kipling Just So Stories.
And they never really say a word.
The 11 synthetic actors take the form of intricate, stylish puppets, and, combined with six living actors, promise to entertain the whole family in Just So, a musical by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (authors of HONK!
