In a move that is being questioned by some fire district taxpayers, the North Highline Fire commissioners raised long-time Chief Russ Pritchard's salary to $198,000.

"It's a severance package," North Highline (Fire District 11) commission Chairman Ron Malaspino said in defending the raise.
All the necessities are stowed: a book, a sandwich, and two cans of beer. Squatting on the shore below my cottage on Beach Drive I top off the inflatable kayak with a puff of air. Then, trying to keep the barnacled rocks from puncturing its bottom, I push off onto the placid Sound.
It is a few hours after high tide on a sunny September morning in 1986. In some ways it will be a lazy day at sea, as I intend to let the tide do most the work over the next few hours. But in other ways it will be one fraught with uncertainty. I am adrift between jobs and am running out of money.

Ever since Tyne Daly played the tough but compassionate social worker in the "Judging Amy" series, I have had a new appreciation for this profession. I had often consulted with the school social worker when I was an elementary school counselor in years past, but it wasn't until my husband needed serious rehab at a skilled nursing facility that I learned how the social worker could affect the lives of so many older people.
Keisha Rogers came to our rescue when she spent several anguishing hours facilitating my husband's re-admittance to a Medicare funded stay at a care center.
There was more common sense spoken and wisdom generated at last week's raucous but still dignified hearing on the mismanaged attempt at squashing Pathfinder and Cooper together than West Seattle has seen in a long while.
The tense and grim face of Superintendent Raj Manhas told the story. He simply did not understand why such a simple plan to save money was being so emotionally rejected by both schools.
