Recently, I found myself lured into the activity center at the annual St. Vincent de Paul Fall Festival.
Many people face a dilemma when it comes time to dispose of an old television.
It can’t be put in the trash on garbage day. It can’t be taken to a landfill. Many thrift stores or donation centers won’t accept it. A late-night drop-off in an apartment complex dumpster could lead to police action.
Serendipity means achieving something good through luck.
The Pierce County AIDS Foundation sponsored an AIDS Walk on Sept. 6, raising more than $100,000 with at least 2,200 walkers.
The performing arts and cultural center movement in Federal Way is one step closer to reality.
The trash-talking has begun for the Federal Way Farmers Market’s inaugural Chili Cook-off, set for Saturday.
Ethel Winter, 66, is glad she listened to her husband.
Winter, of Federal Way, created a wooden model ship last year and, after a little pressure from her husband, entered the ship in a contest at the Puyallup Fair this year. She won three ribbons including one for grand champion, one for first place and one for first in class.
It’s a warning that’s been passed down to new mothers for generations: Keep the family cat away from the baby or risk death by smothering.
Fall is here, and with it comes a variety of great festivals and events across the country. Marvel at the…
There is a major crisis happening — right now, in our house.
It’s been taking place for at least a month. It’s a problem that no one discusses, much less looks you in the eye. An elephant is running rampant around here and no one notices except me and Mr. Hallahan.
The clicker for our TV has gone astray. Disappeared, vanished, buried somewhere in stuff and God only knows where it’s hiding.

Holy mackerel — I think the storm gods are mad at us!
Listening absently to local talk radio while driving a carpool last week, a question was thrown out there for listeners to call in with possible answers: “What do we do every day that takes one-tenth of a second?”
The first weeks of September can be considered a second spring in our Western Washington climate.
The Federal Way Farmers Market Chili Cook-off runs 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 27 at The Commons mall parking lot. Federal Way police and South King Fire and Rescue firefighters will face off in a battle to make the best chili. Tickets are $10 and include chili, corn bread, a drink and dessert. All proceeds benefit South King Firefighters Foundation as well as the Special Olympics.
Imagine you go to your health care provider for something very personal.
Perhaps you had a birth control failure — the condom broke, or you forgot to take your pill for a few days. These things happen. Your trusted health care provider writes you a prescription for emergency contraception. You go to fill it, and are not only refused, but receive a lecture from the pharmacist.
At first glance, it seems like a typical campground — a glistening pool, horseshoes, volleyball court (sand, with overhead stadium lights) sunbathers on the lawn and plenty of tents and RVs.
