They were celebrating in Lancer land Friday night after Kennedy Catholic held on for a 28-25 non-league victory over Seattle Prep.

The main and oft-repeated reason for departing fans' excitement was that they said it was the best game for the Lancers in years, as they normally have pounded their foes into submission.

This time they had their hands full from the Panthers of the Metro League, which is something they will have to get used to as they open North Puget Sound League Class 4A action with a 7 p.m. visit to Kentwood at French Field this coming Saturday.

Friday's game against Seattle Prep was not decided until the bitter end.
The Panthers were down 28-25 but had the ball and marched it down to the Kennedy 9-yard line.
But it was lost on the next play, with Trevor Hoffman of the Lancers grabbing it to save the day with 31 seconds remaining.

Kennedy took over at the 13-yard line and quarterback Ben Gaoteote took a knee to run out the clock.

Blessing Leiato and Isaiah Ferrer scored three touchdowns apiece as the Foster football team felled Evergreen by a 48-0 score Friday.

The Bulldogs ran their record to 2-0 with the win while knocking the Wolverines to 0-2.
It was the first ever South Puget Sound League Class 2A game for both teams.
Leiato scored the first touchdown for Foster with 9:24 to play in the first quarter, but the Bulldogs failed on a two-point conversion attempt to leave the lead at 6-0.

Ferrer then struck on a 75-yard run into an open left side of the field with 3:59 remaining in the quarter and Leiato ran for a two-point conversion to make it a 14-0 game.

Leiato punched the ball in through the middle for a 3-yard touchdown 40 seconds into the second quarter and teammate Emerson Garcia sliced through the Evergreen line for a two-point conversion that made it 22-0.
Frank Leuga pounced on a Wolverine bad snap two plays later and two plays after that Leiato scored on an 11-yard run. A bad snap on the two-point conversion attempt left the margin at 28-0 with 8:32 to go in the second quarter.

West Seattle Neighbors for Peace and Justice (WSNFPJ), a local organization dedicated to peace and justice shared an announcement regarding their opposition to the modernization of the nation's nuclear weapons.

"We decided to join the campaign of Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (WPSR) to educate the public and lobby Congressional members to oppose the plans to “modernize” America’s nuclear arsenal, a plan that could cost trillions of dollars. The intent is to build a completely new nuclear arsenal, that is, a new bomber, new ICBMs, new submarines, new smaller (“more usable”) warheads, and a new laboratory over the next thirty years. There has been no debate about these plans. "

Quoting WPSR’s summer newsletter, http://www.psr.org/chapters/washington/assets/pdfs/newsletters/summer-2… , these plans are “immoral, illegal, intolerably expensive, unacceptably dangerous, and militarily useless”.

WSNFPJ will designate a contact person for the coalition WPSR is building to wage the campaign.

In a private party for friends and media Ala Mode Pies celebrated their new location in the West Seattle Junction with dozens of samples of pies, "pie fries", boozy milkshakes, Pie Babies, and more. The event was meant to show off the brand new location for the company which already operates a store in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood. They showed off their crazy fast apple peeling machine and samples of their sweet and savory pies from French Apple to Beef Brisket and potato were going fast. Owner Chris Porter was on hand and explained, "I love this place. Our Phinney Ridge location has a charm all its own but this place is how I imagined the store could be."

Original Post Sept. 12
Set to open Oct. 3, A la Mode Pies will offer fresh breakfast, lunch, and dinner with both sweet and savory style pies and more. "If you look at it we are right in the West Seattle restaurant corridor", said owner Chris Porter.

This will be the second location for the company which operates the original in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood which opened four years ago.

Back in 2007, it seemed only people like me were using social media. College students. We were staying in touch with our friends from high school. We were finding out who was taking Math 221 with us next quarter. We were organizing study groups and house parties. We were socializing in a whole new environment catered to just us barely-adults. Real adults didn’t have Facebook profiles. Real adults had resumes. Social media was where we defined ourselves. It was the clubhouse where Mom and Dad weren’t allowed, where kids could be kids.
 

Thief makes getaway on stolen bicycle

A burglary was reported on the 2200 block of California Avenue S.W. around 1:30 p.m. on Tues., Sept. 6. The caller said a man with long, dark hair wearing a checkered flannel shirt and long pants broke into a shop and stole a bicycle. Staff in the store said the man had ridden east through a parking lot and then they lost sight of him. Officers searched the area but were unable to find the suspect. The store’s surveillance system did not work so there was no footage of the burglary.

Burglars break and enter for postal packages

Officers were dispatched to the 4700 block of 41st Avenue S.W. for a call about a burglary around 2:20 p.m. on Tues., Sept. 6.
