Please do read and watch this, maybe even donate a few pence if you can manage it. Such an awesome job these guys have done for a truly awesome kid!
So far, so good. Sophie hasn't had another fit. She was quieter than usual for most of the weekend, but given what she'd been through it isn't surprising. Sophie is back sleeping upstairs on her sofa in Bry's old room, with the bedroom doors open in case she needs us. We are just blocking the stairs at night so that if she does have another fit she can't fall down them. I'm going to try and find a child safety gate to put there for the future (seen one online that is made of material), but we used a couple of laundry baskets the first two nights, and we have now exchanged that for a fold up bed frame that sits comfortably across between my bedroom door and Tara's. With a towel draped over it looks solid enough that Sophie won't touch it, and is soft enough if she knocks against it she can't be hurt. And it easily slides out of the way in a second if we need to move it.
It's weird. She never sleeps downstairs, because she hates being alone, but the night she had the fit, she seemed so reluctant to come upstairs that I put the light out and left her in the sitting room, but with the door open so there was a little light coming in and so that she could come upstairs if she changed her mind. I guess someone was watching over her that night to make sure she was in a safe place when she fitted.
Clare (K9 Ambulance lady) said that she probably sensed something and that was why she stayed put, but she has been more and more reluctant to attempt the stairs at night lately anyway, and I've had to really cajole her to get her up them in the last week or two. Maybe she had been having petit mal seizures up to this point. They would have been enough to make her feel wary I should think, even if they weren't obvious to us at the time.
Tara came up with an interesting speculation that I will put to the vet on Wednesday when he rings with Sophie's blood test results. The light in the sitting room was off, but the internet was on, and in the dark the lights on the modem flash very fast and seem very bright, so Tara wondered whether the fit was as a result of photo sensitivity to the flashing lights.
Sophie was quietly sick once yesterday evening and turned her nose up at breakfast this morning, but she gets like that sometimes anyway, and it may be a reaction to a bit of a change in routine. She has to have her dementia pill half an hour before food, so she is fretting that her bowl isn't on the floor. She is unusual in that she doesn't just wolf her food down. Instead she goes to her bowl and grazes at intervals through the day.
To try and deal with her not being able to do that this morning, I gave her the pill in a teaspoon of pate, got dressed, and took her for a 15 minute walk, which is about her limit currently, and by the time we got back and got dried off it was time for her food. She picked out a favourite piece of Baker's Complete from her food bowl, put it on the floor, stared at it for several seconds, then looked at me and walked away. Hmmm...
She curled up on the sofa, looking miserable, so I left her to rest, and when she perked up a bit later, I played with her food, rolling it along the floor for her to chase, and soon she was eating out of her bowl again.
And she loved her walk. Which is a good sign. :- )
This afternoon, Tara and I barricaded ourselves upstairs with Sophie and spent some time trying to fit-proof her room in case she fits in the night again. It is a small room � about 7ft by 8ft � and has a 3ft wide single bed and a two seater sofa in it, as well as a tall, thin bookshelf and a small dining table with folding leaves. Sophie gets up on the bed to look out of the window, but sometimes when getting back off she kind of gets one of her back legs stuck behind her, which can occasionally result in a bit of a limp, so that needed to be moved. Also, if she had a seizure in there the amount of floor space is so small that she wouldn't be able to stretch out, so could really do herself a mischief.
So, after some experimenting, we have put the bed base on end against the wall, and wedged the mattress lengthways between that and the table, with the last 1/4 of the mattress bent over against the bed base, to wedge it firmly and prevent it from falling even if knocked against. It is a very old bed and a pretty solid mattress, so I'm not worried about it getting damaged this way, and it means Sophie can clamber on it, sleep on it, and generally muck about without hurting herself. I've also used a couple of old pillows to pad out the table legs. She still has her sofa. It is nice and low to the ground, so easier for Sophie to negotiate. I don't want to change more than I have to so that she doesn't get disoriented. The room is now really safe for her, and if she does have a fit in there she should be well cushioned. Plus whoever is sitting with her while she recovers will have something comfy to sit/lie on.
I had to go downstairs during the re-arranging, to get the hoover � amazing what accumulates under a bed when it hasn't moved in two years! I found a pair of nesting socks for a start! LOL I slid the new barrier aside, walked through, replaced it, and started down the stairs. As I reached the bend I turned round � and could see the tip of a wet doggy nose and two eyes peering desperately over the top of the barrier to see where I'd gone.
I told Tara to keep an eye and continued down to get the hoover. When I came back up a minute later there was Sophie wagging her tail madly. She apparently had a good sniff at the edges of the barrier to see if there was a way through, quickly realised there wasn't so she stood and waited for me to come back. This is good. The big test will be when the postman comes. LOL
Incidentally, Tara is being very brave. She was terribly shaken up by the whole experience, and I was worried that she wouldn't be persuaded to stay alone in the house with Sophie, but she is coping. Hats off to her for getting a grip on her fears for Sophie's sake. She really does deserve a special mention. :-) It is so hard for her to cope with stuff like this, especially the total unpredictability of it all. I think that getting her involved in some practical efforts to at least minimize the potential problems should Sophie have another seizure has helped her feel like she does have at least some control of the situation. I know it has helped me. :-)
In other news...
Streakwise, I'm doing pretty well.
9/9 days spinning the sparkwheel.
9/9 days at least ten mins exercising.
8/8 drinking at least 8 glasses of water and well on track today.
6/8 eating at least 5 freggies. The two fail days I ate 3 and 4, so could have been worse, and as one day was caused by a diverticular blip and the other was due to Sophie being ill, I don't feel bad about it. Besides, after being up all Friday night with Sophie, and sleeping away Saturday afternoon, I simply didn't have time to eat all my meals that day. :-) As it was, I ended up eating my evening meal at 11pm on Saturday. :-) Mind you, I kept it lightish � a piece of hake grilled, and topped with tomato salsa and melted cheese, with some broccoli on the side. Very tasty. :-)
Hoping for a good week.

So we are back home, and THAT decision has been staved off for the moment. Thank the gods!!! You must have all been sending some really powerful vibes our way. Thankyou!
SO relieved!
Clare, the K9 Animal Ambulance lady got here at ten this morning and was absolutely brilliant! She hauled a very reluctant Sophie in and out of her car, metaphorically held my hand through everything, explained what the vet had told me while he was in the back getting Sophie's blood taken, then brought us home, and clipped Sophie's nails for me!
It was expensive. �90 all in, including her middle of the night visit. However, she is worth her weight in gold, so I'm joining her monthly payment plan so that we have transport to the vets should we need it in the future. Currently Sophie can't walk that far, even though it is only takes 15 minutes, and with no car this was proving tricky. Paying around �8 a month means that we have transport whenever we need it. :-)
At the vets...
Once in the examination room the vet examined Sophie quite thoroughly, and explained some of the causes of fits in dogs generally, and old dogs in particular.
He also noticed some other issues that I had seen but which hadn't made me worry, like her aimless wandering about which she was doing in the vet's office and which Clare the Pet Ambulance lady noticed last night.
So, he has taken blood for a 'fits and faints profile idexx' which includes the liver test she was booked in to have on Monday. He says that these most commonly come back as 'normal' but that will at least eliminates certain causes. The blood test results will be back on Wednesday, so the vet will ring me then, to tell me the results and talk about where we go next.
He also gave me tablets in case she fits again. He says that it is impossible to say whether she will have another fit, or whether this was a one off, but that if she suddenly starts having several fits in one day, the chances are that her body couldn't cope with the strain, so she will have to take the tablets daily for life IF she has another fit. Hopefully the tablets will control the fits.
The fact that Sophie has a number of lumps that are most likely tumours does suggest that it could be a tumour in her brain that gave her the fit, in which case she will get worse as it grows. However, the only way to confirm a tumour is a very expensive brain scan, and he feels that at her age, quality of life is more important than what is causing the fits, so if the blood panels come back normal, our actions will then be dictated by whether or not she fits again and how it is affecting her quality of life.
He has also concluded that Sophie has a level of dementia. To try and help with this he has given me tablets for her that simply increase oxygen to the brain to ease her symptoms.
And she has some anti inflamatory pain meds for her arthritic back legs, which he says are significantly weaker than they were last time he saw her.
BUT I mustn't give her the pain meds unless I absolutely have to, until the blood tests are back, just in case her liver is affected.
So this is where we are. I'm now on tenterhooks in case she fits again, but hugely relieved that she is still with us for now. Hoping very much that it was a one-off fit, and that the meds help her still enjoy life, even if it is a bit limited for her these days.
And if she is going doolally in her old age, well, she is in excellent company, don't you think? LOL
Enjoy your day. I'm going to stay up a wee bit longer and then go to bed for some sleep. I can't pull all-nighters anymore.

Around 1am ish, maybe a bit earlier, Tara and I heard an almighty crash downstairs, followed by what sounded like someone throwing stuff round the sitting room. Raced downstairs to find Sophie in the midst of an horrendous fit!
Scared me to death, and sent Tara into a total panic.
Rang for a vet and got put through to emergency one, explained situation, by which time Sophie was coming out of the fit and trying to sit up, but kept collapsing.
No transport so they rang the K9 Animal ambulance for me.
Clare, when she arrived, was brilliant. She assessed Sophie very carefully, and told me my options, and which of them she felt were in Sophie's best interest. As Sophie was able to drink water, accept a piece of Frolic, could focus her eyes, and (with a lot of coaxing) walk around, albeit with impromptu sit downs whenever her back legs gave out, we decided to wait until my usual vet opens this morning, at which time the ambulance will return and take us there, and Clare will stay with us and bring us back home afterwards.
However, if Sophie had another fit, she would come straight back and take us to the emergency vet.
Well, it is now nearly 7.30am, and so far so good. Sophie slept deeply for a couple of hours, but was wide away, panting hard, and unable to settle from 5am onwards. And as I spent the time she was asleep panicking at every slight noise she made in case it was the start of another fit, I've had absolutely no sleep, and feel lousy!
Apart from anything else, I didn't dare risk her on the stairs, so we camped in the sitting room. That thin mattress I have is all well and good for a short seated exercise, but is no cushion for a night's sleep.
The really crappy news: Clare felt Sophie over and can feel several lumps that do not feel like fatty tissue. That coupled with the fit and other recent indicators could mean we are on the slippery slope. :-(
Wish us luck please, especially if the time has come for me to need to be strong enough to make THAT decision. :-(

Wow! That was !!!
My Leslie Sansone Walk Away Your Waistline with Walk Belt arrived this morning, setting the seal on what I would do for exercise today.
I did plan just to do one of the miles, but was so into it by then I didn't want to stop. I ended up doing the full three miles, and LOVED it!
I was surprised to find that as soon as I put the belt on I automatically straightened up. I know I can be a bit of a sloucher sometimes, so that is really helpful.
I was then surprised that we didn't seem to use the belt much at first, and even when we did it was for barely a minute before we tucked the handles back into the belt again. And that was how it went right through the DVD - short bursts with the belt and the rest of the time as normal.
Have to say, though, that I certainly knew I'd used it by the end of the three miles. Wowser!
Things I love about Leslie Sansone Walks:
Number 1
You can try her out for free online first, with three different walks available on her web page:
Not to mention that a search for Leslie Sansone on You Tube yields all her Exercise TV videos, plus extra ones posted by other Leslie Lovees. :-)
Number 2:
She sweats! Sorry, ladies... She glows!
I like to see that she is putting in a good effort on my behalf! And she is proud of her sweat! She calls us 'Sisters in Sweat'. I like the sound of that. :-)
Number 3:
She uses real people on her DVDs. Real people of all sizes and shapes and fitness levels. Gives you confidence that her workouts are aimed at all of us, regardless of ability.
Number 4:
Her videos are well filmed, but not slick. They are real. She jokes with the other people on the videos, and she gets distracted with her counting sometimes, but the camera just keeps rolling. "So what," she says, "if you go right or I go left. We aren't learning dance steps. We're just walking to the beat of the music."
But it isn't 'just' walking.
Number 5:
It is a lot more than just a walk! Walking just takes you in one direction .. forward. Unless you are a Pushme-Pullyu!
Leslie takes you forwards, backwards and sideways. She also has you doing tap outs and lunges, knee-ups and kicks, arms swinging and reaching. You get little stand up crunches and if you use the belt, or the stretch band. or even a couple of light weights you add an element of strength training to the walk as well.
So it is actually a LOT more than just a walk.
I plan to have a regular Leslie fest as part of my exercise routine - aiming for a three Miler twice a week if I can, with some shorter walks thrown in at other times.
Streakwise, doing quite well.
Spin the wheel - 5/5 days
Exercise at least ten minutes - 5/5 days
Drink 8 glasses of water - 4/4 days (and well on course today so far)
Eat 5 freggies - 3/4 days (yesterday had a diverticular blip that meant I couldn't eat my evening meal as planned, but I got 3 freggies in earlier in the day)
Enjoy your day!

The sound of these strings is perfect for rock, jazz ,country whatever you play as long as you are playing the role of the bass player. Smooth low tension buzz free, easy on the frets and fingers. The rapping on the ends are flawless and made with care. You can get the tone of an upright bass to any usable electric bass sound you could want. If you slap these strings are not for you unless you like the old school slap tone. I am a groove player, these strings are my sound.

Top 10 Science Fiction Movie Quotes of All Time
(Note: this post originally appeared on the very cool pop culture blog Popten)
Science fiction movies voice our fear of what may come to pass if we don't clean up our act (death, destruction, apocalypse), and express our hope for a decent life on planet earth (or other planets) should we choose the right path. In other words, SF can inspire strong opinions about the future of the human race. It can even create belief systems as powerful and pompous as religion. Just look at L. Ron Hubbard.
When I was a kid, instead of quoting Bible passages for spiritual guidance, sometimes my family quoted Star Wars. Imagine the scene in my chaotic house: sink overflowing with dishes, something burning on the stove, dogs tearing apart a trash bag, cats pooping in the basement. The only logical response was to shout, "3PO! 3PO! Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level!" (Hence my paranoia about technology, too.) Reciting lines from Episode IV didn't necessary solve my family problems, but it did provide comic counterpoint.

Third Time's the Charm
As I Am, Keys' fourth studio release, was also her fourth consecutive number-one album, tying her with Britney Spears for the most consecutive number-one debuts on the Billboard 200 by a female artist. It sold nearly 750,000 copies in its first week and sold nearly 6 million worldwide. And according to Billboard.com, from October 2007, when "No One," the first single from As I Am, reached No. 1, through February 2008, when Keys' second single "Like You'll Never See Me Again" ended its reign at No. 1, Keys was on top of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart for 17 weeks, more consecutive weeks than any other artist.

WikiLeaks now selling merchandise
What better way to make a little extra cash than to open an online store selling branded merchandise? When you're WikiLeaks it's a strange step to take, and although it may be entirely necessary to keep the site running and Julian Assange in lawyers, it's still sure to raise questions over whether the site is selling out.
Tomorrow (Feb. 24) is D-Day for Julian Assange, as he is set to find out whether he'll be extradited from the U.K. to Sweden to face rape charges. Whatever the outcome, Assange is facing a hefty legal bill which he'll need to pay. WikiLeaks itself also needs a constant stream of money to keep it online, as it relies solely on donations to keep doing what it's doing.
In an effort to raise some extra cash, WikiLeaks has launched a new online gift shop via German company Spreadshirt AG. This is, rather interestingly, the same firm that has sold merchandise for pop groups such as the Spice Girls and Boyzone.
On offer are the full range of merchandise you'd expect, although not from a whistle-blowing website: T-shirts in a range of colors, messenger bags, scarves, umbrellas, hats, hoodies, and a lot more besides. Some of the products have an image of Assange on, some have the WikiLeaks logo, some have quotes from the likes of George Orwell and Thomas Jefferson.
Spreadshirt told the Wall Street Journal:
WikiLeaks is an emotional proposition: People love it or hate it. For those that love it and wish to show support for WikiLeaks by wearing a T-shirt, it is a good proposition.
WikiLeaks has stated that all proceeds from the sale of merchandise will be plowed back into running the site. Assange meanwhile has a small fortune of a reported $1.3 million heading his way thanks to the advance on his autobiography. That should keep his legal team happy, while the online gift shop should enable WikiLeaks to keep going for a little longer. At least until governments around the world get their way and shut both the man and the site up for good.

West Seattle weekend scene: Chamber of Commerce volunteers clean up 'Walking on Logs' and beyondNovember 1, 2014 at 12:30 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 8 Comments
(First two photos courtesy West Seattle Chamber of Commerce)
Many hands make light work, it's said. And so it went this morning along the Fauntleroy end of the West Seattle Bridge, as a dozen-plus WS Chamber of Commerce volunteers cleaned up the slope from "Walking on Logs" to the sign with which they're posing above.
According to Chamber board chair Nancy Woodland (of WestSide Baby), they only needed two hours to get everything picked up and bagged up. This was our photo from about midway through.
(WSB photo by Patrick Sand)
While "Walking on Logs" is on city right-of-way land, the sculpture was installed as part of the West Seattle Murals project two decades ago with the agreement that it and the area around it would be community-maintained. Murals project leader Earl Cruzen did it almost singlehandedly for years, until he was on the brink of 90; four years ago, the Walking on Logs Landscape Restoration Group formed to help, but it's a big task and they need help too (they were out at the site a month ago).

Remembering longtime West Seattleite Bill Ericson, 1922-2014October 18, 2014 at 1:02 pm | In Obituaries, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 1 Comment
The family of William A. (Bill) Ericson is sharing this remembrance after his death this week:
Bill passed away October 13, 2014, at the age of 91.
He was the youngest of four children born to Ernest and Nellie Ericson in Star Lake, Minnesota. After being discharged from the Merchant Marines after World War II, Bill traveled to Seattle, where he met the love of his life, Olga Romei, and they raised three children.
Bill was a self-motivated entrepreneur who started his own real estate company, Ericson Realty, in the early '60s and was immediately successful due to his hard work and diligence.
After retiring in the '80s, his favorite pastime was socializing with friends and family, telling the best stories and jokes you can imagine and helping those who were in need. Bill never forgot a joke and something always reminded him of another story.
He is survived by his children William, Dini (Leif), Greg (Sue); grandchildren William III, Cale, Koen, Nolan, Nicole, and Noelle; five great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom will dearly miss his stories, jokes, guidance, and generosity. A private family memorial was held.

Congratulations! Sealth teacher DeAira Handugan to be honored during Seahawks game todayOctober 12, 2014 at 3:01 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 8 Comments
(Photo courtesy Symetra)
If you're going to the Seahawks-Cowboys game at CenturyLink Field this afternoon – listen up for your chance to applaud a local teacher. Chief Sealth International High School family/consumer sciences teacher DeAira Handugan is scheduled to be there for an on-field presentation of her "Heroes in the Classroom" award. Two former students nominated her; one is quoted as saying, "It is impossible to be in her presence and not look at her as a role model." The award is presented by the Seahawks and Symetra, who present it to 16 teachers around the region each year; besides the recognition at today's game, it also brings Handugan a $1,000 donation for classroom supplies.
Congratulations! 'Diver Laura' wins Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition photo contest and kayak trip with MacklemoreOctober 9, 2014 at 11:11 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 7 Comments
That's the photo that won West Seattle's "Diver Laura" James – the "citizen scientist" and advocate whose work is often featured on WSB – a kayaking trip on the Duwamish River with music star Macklemore. The Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition just announced that Laura's photo won its "River for All" contest. Debris/trash from the river is part of the photo, and yet, she meant for it to be anything BUT a message of despair over its extreme pollution. Writing about the photo concept on her website, she explained:
Usually images of marine debris are somewhat hopeless. A mermaid caught in a fishing net, lying (presumed dead) on a sandy beach. Beaches covered in trash. Dead birds with belly full of plastic. These images, as powerful as they are, don't always work for me. My message is one of strength and hope. Empowerment. Dream big. That was the concept behind this shot.
And yes, as a prolific producer, Laura created a behind-the-scenes video:
BtS Duwamish #riverforall Photo Contest shoot from Laura James on Vimeo.
Here's the DRCC announcement about the photo contest; here's the gallery of other entries; and here's why Macklemore is involved – his own essay about the river that forms much of West Seattle's eastern border, declared by its admirers and protectors to be "a river for all."
P.S. And as noted here on Wednesday, you too can be a Duwamish River ally and protector – just sign up to commit four hours during Duwamish Alive! one week from Saturday.
P.P.S. If you haven't read Laura's post yet – note that, beyond the contest, she writes about looking for collaborators for other visual projects to tell the river's story.
Celebration of Life on Saturday for Kristine Lenning, 1952-2014October 1, 2014 at 1:34 pm | In Obituaries, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 2 Comments
A Celebration of Life is planned this Saturday for Kristine Lenning, who died last week at 62. Here's the remembrance we were asked to share:
Kristine M. Lenning
July 13, 1952 – September 26, 2014
Kris passed away at her home in West Seattle, surrounded by friends and family. Kris was preceded in death by her husband Donald G. Lenning and is survived by her daughter Alexa Victoria Lenning, brothers Bernard, Kenneth, and Steven Larson, and sister Kathy Hodges.
Kris recently retired from Century Link after 44 years of service. She fought a long and courageous battle against cancer, never losing her zest for life, her sense of humor, and loving concern for others. Kris was a gifted artist who loved sharing her talents with friends, and especially children. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice and her family of co-workers that helped care for her. There will be a Celebration of Life for Kris on Saturday, October 4th, 2014, at West Seattle Golf Course from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Remembrances to the Cancer Society in lieu of flowers, please.

Southwest Youth and Family Services: Spotlight Gala tonight, neighborhood Open House coming up October 9thSeptember 27, 2014 at 9:41 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | Comments Off
Biggest party in West Seattle tonight: The Spotlight Gala at The Hall at Fauntleroy raising money for Southwest Youth and Family Services, the North Delridge-based nonprofit with more going on inside its nondescript headquarters than you'd guess just from passing by. Emcee for the night, former Mayor (and major soccer fan) Greg Nickels, there with wife Sharon Nickels:
Two of our area's state legislators were there to support SWYFS – State Senate Democratic leader Sen. Sharon Nelson of Maury Island:
And longtime State House Rep. Eileen Cody of West Seattle:
SWYFS executive director Steve Daschle was all smiles:
His agency is focused on education, counseling, and support services, and has expanded its reach in the past year-plus, stretching further into South King County by merging with New Futures. It's also reaching out to invite West Seattleites to find out more about what it does and how to help and/or get help; toward that goal, you're invited to an open house 2-6 pm Thursday, October 9th, with a hot-dog barbecue and prize raffles as well as entertainment. SWYFS is at 4555 Delridge Way SW, just south of Delridge Community Center and east of Delridge Playfield.
Dog on the run on the West Seattle Bridge; drivers stop to rescue itSeptember 27, 2014 at 3:55 pm | In Pets, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 26 Comments
FIRST REPORT, 3:55 PM: For a short time about half an hour ago, the west end of the eastbound West Seattle Bridge was backed up to Fauntleroy. Anne Higuera from Ventana Construction (WSB sponsor) sent the photo and explains why:
Just watched as hundreds of people stopped their cars on the West Seattle Bridge to wait while a couple of valiant dog catchers blocked traffic and captured a little dog that refused to stop and was running all the way down Fauntleroy and onto the bridge. They finally wrapped him up in a jacket and put him in a box and I'm going to assume that they're going to then try to locate the owners of the dog. Everyone was so well mannered. Not a single horn blown and everyone waited patiently until the little dog was captured. It was really sweet.
We heard a bit about this on the scanner but had no idea how it turned out until Anne's note. The dog might be hurt, according to a tweet from Dan. (If whomever now has the dog sees this, we can of course put a note on the WSB Lost/Found Pets page, where we've had multiple "found dog" reports today but no "lost" reports yet.)
4:45 PM UPDATE: We have heard now from both the dog's owner and the finder – the latter, via comments, saying it's been taken to Seattle Animal Shelter; the former, via e-mail, explaining the dog, a Jack Russell Terrier mix named Woody, bolted from Petco in The Junction "just fitted … for a new harness & lead and obviously it didn't fit! He backed out of it and ran for it."
We're hoping they all connect quickly!
West Seattle weekend scene: Walking on Logs Landscape Restoration Group at workSeptember 27, 2014 at 2:18 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 3 Comments
That photo is from the volunteers comprising the Walking on Logs Landscape Restoration Group, some of your West Seattle neighbors (backstory here) who have been doing what they can to honor the longstanding mandate for community upkeep of the area. This is their last cleanup session of the year; the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce is looking at organizing one at the start of November. (The Chamber keeps the sign-up sheet for nonprofit promotional use of the site – what's up right now replaced the guerrilla messaging spotted earlier in the week).
P.S. You might not notice unless you're passing by as a passenger, but we're told the aspens are in fine form and the snowberries are blooming!
West Seattle scene: Chamber 'After Hours' @ Log House MuseumSeptember 25, 2014 at 8:37 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | Comments Off
One of West Seattle's most historic porches was the scene of a party earlier tonight, as the the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce's monthly After Hours gathering came to the Southwest Seattle Historical Society's Log House Museum. SWSHS executive director Clay Eals recounted some of the organization's big events, including one that dwarfed tonight's gathering:
The photo he's holding is from the June 6th dedication of the renovated totem pole that stood at the Admiral Way Viewpoint for years. SWSHS's next big event is the Champagne Gala Brunch in November (with sponsors inclding WSB); you can reserve your ticket(s) now. As for the Chamber, its next lunch meeting, October 9th, features Port Commissioner Stephanie Bowman. It'll be an outdoor event in the Port-owned Jack Block Park (rain or shine!).
Walk to End Alzheimer's: Group from The Kenney raises $1,600September 20, 2014 at 12:55 pm | In The Kenney, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | Comments Off
(Photo courtesy The Kenney)
Among the hundreds of people who joined in the Pacific Northwest Walk to End Alzheimer's today were four residents of The Kenney (WSB sponsor), along with staffers and family members. They raised $1,600 and walked the full two-mile route along Lake Union. Proceeds from the walk – more than $270,000, in early estimates – go toward "the care, support, and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association," according to the event website. The rise in cases of Alzheimer's and dementia has led some retirement centers to make big changes; The Kenney added its Memory Care Community in 2012.

Congratulations! 70th wedding anniversary for West Seattleites Dorothy & Everett WrightSeptember 17, 2014 at 9:00 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 18 Comments
Congratulations to Dorothy and Everett Wright of West Seattle, who just celebrated a big anniversary. From their daughter Wendy Hobson:
Everett and Dorothy Wright celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary (August 19, 2014) with a party a few days later at their daughter's home with family and friends.
They got married on their fourth "date," after meeting in Chicago at Christmastime in 1943 when Dorothy went to stay with her sister. Dorothy's oldest sister was married to Everett's older brother. They went out to dinner – then Everett (who was in the Air Force in 1944) went back to Louisiana. They wrote to each other for 8 months. He came back to Chicago on leave, proposed, and they got married a few days later. They took the train to North Dakota and spent their honeymoon with her parents on the farm.
In 1956, they moved from Chicago to Seattle, following Dorothy's sisters and their families. They had a 2.5 year old daughter and a 3-month-old son, no job, no house. Everett went out to look for a job and at his first stop, called Dorothy to say he was hired and that he was starting that day! A few weeks later, they purchased the home on Genesee Hill where they still live.
Everett retired from Sundstrand Corp in Redmond in 1983 and Dorothy retired from Sears in SODO in 1986.
Everett bought his first computer when he was 80, learning to surf the internet. At 85, he decided to learn to play the bass guitar (figuring that because it only had 4 strings, it would be easier) to keep his mind sharp. At almost 96, he is still curious about everything.
Dorothy joined the Y after she retired and has enjoyed 30+ years of water aerobics. She is a big Mariners fan.
They both enjoy going on the senior bus to the Tulalip and Muckelshoot Casinos monthly. They are the parents of Wendy (Michael) Hobson and Brad (Colette) Wright, and grandparents of Aaron & Shawn Hobson and Carson Wright.
Milestone anniversary in YOUR family? Let us know!
Memorial next Saturday for 'Hank' Ercolini, 1923-2014September 15, 2014 at 7:23 pm | In Obituaries, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 7 Comments
Family and friends will gather this Saturday to celebrate the life of Henry "Hank" Matthew Ercolini, born October 8, 1923 in Seattle, died August 28, 2014 in Salem, Oregon, with many years in West Seattle along the way. Here's the remembrance we were asked to share:
Hank was the oldest of the 3 boys of Joe and Julia Ercolini, a husband to Gertrude "Gertie" Ercolini for 65 years, a father of 4, father-in-law, devoted grandfather (Pop) and great-grandfather, an uncle, cousin, a devoted friend, a 1941 West Seattle High School graduate, a WWII Marine veteran, a 1948 Willamette University graduate, a math & history teacher, coach, junior high principal, referee, a world traveler, a long-time member of Queen of Peace church, a Beaver and Bearcat fan, a cribbage teacher, a landscaper by hobby, an avid golfer, a Meals on Wheels delivery boy, a favorite neighbor, a Susan G. Komen supporter, and a great friend to many.
He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and the joy he shared with everyone who knew him. He will be dearly missed. He is survived by three of his children and their spouses: Joan Ercolini (Bend, OR), Lisa & Rod Noteboom (Moses Lake, WA), Steve & Betsy Ercolini (Seattle); his four grandchildren: Tom Watson and wife Jodie, Anne Watson, Angela Fernandez and husband Paul, and Daniel Noteboom; his great grandsons Eamon Watson and Eli Fernandez; and Tom and Anne's father Steve Watson. He is also survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Joe and Julia Ercolini, his brothers Edward and James Ercolini, his first daughter Julie Watson, and his wife Gertie.
A celebration of Hank's life will be held at Capital Manor (in Salem, OR), Saturday, September 20th, at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, or the charity of your choice. Arrangements are by Virgil T. Golden Funeral Service.

Memorial gathering Thursday for James M. Novello, 1945-2014September 10, 2014 at 8:55 am | In Obituaries, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 1 Comment
A gathering is planned at a Gatewood home tomorrow to celebrate the life of James M. Novello. His family shares this remembrance:
James Michael Novello, born to James and Alvera Novello on June 19th, 1945, passed at his home on September 6th, 2014 – beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, brother, and uncle.
James was born in Whitestone, New York, where he graduated from Holy Cross High School. He served as a Chaplain Assistant in Hanau, Germany, while in the United States Army.
James made a home for him and his family in Washington State, where he served with the Anacortes Police Department. He would later work for Fritz Trucking Company in Auburn, where he worked until he retired.
James loved his family, friends, and neighbors, but home is where the heart is, he loved spending time with his 4-legged friends. Other memorable times would be his yearly trips to the Washington coast or game night with family, friends, and neighbors. He loved his Seattle sports teams and Neil Diamond.
James is survived by his wife Debby Novello; dad James Novello, New York; sister Linda (Ray) Riso, New York; children: Richard (Heidi) Novello, James (Monica) Novello, Kimberly (Paul) Bahnmiller, Michael (Terri) Novello; grandchildren: Shawna Murray, Nickolaus (Erin) Novello, Zackary Novello, Carson Novello, Brittany Novello, Vinny Novello, Gabrielle Novello, Cecelia Novello, Giovanni Novello, Zachary Myers, Jacob Myers, Alexis Novello, and Anthony Novello; great-grandchild Aiden Plumley.
Celebration of life will be held at the home of James and Deborah Novello on September 11th, 2014, at 2 pm at 3926 SW Ida Street, West Seattle.
His humor and laughter will be missed.

Notice the difference? Friends of Morgan Junction Parks, Peace Lutheran volunteers team up for more cleanup, restorationSeptember 7, 2014 at 7:20 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle parks, West Seattle people | 4 Comments
Another Morgan Junction-area public space is in better shape tonight because of hard work by community volunteers. Thanks to Barry for the photos and report:
A delegation from Peace Lutheran Church again joined Friends of Morgan Junction Parks on a neighborhood cleanup effort. The two groups put in a solid shift on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the SDOT property on the corner of Fauntleroy and Juneau, where restoration work was begun last fall. The two groups have also been restoring the triangle property next to the Thriftway in Morgan Junction.
Tall, thick weeds had taken over the parking strip at the Juneau site. These were removed, in addition to a lot of dead wood on trees and plants in the interior. We'll return later in the fall to add some new plants to the parking strip area.
You can connect with Friends of Morgan Junction Parks via its Facebook page.

With both the Seahawks' season and the school year starting, an anti-bullying campaign is launching with a West Seattle-based nonprofit at the heart of it. On the lower right of the billboard in the photo, you'll see FREE2LUV.ORG – the online home of Free2Luv, which is leading the "Friends Don't Let Friends Bully" campaign.

West Seattle creator of 'Time Wars' debuting groundbreaking card game at PAXAugust 29, 2014 at 9:04 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 6 Comments
By Kezia Willingham
Reporting for West Seattle Blog
As the sold-out PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) gaming convention starts today downtown, West Seattleite Bijhan Valibeigi will be there, launching a new product in her multimedia "Time Wars" franchise: A strategy card game.
She e-mailed WSB about the launch, explaining that "Time Wars: Supreme Command" is "the world's first deck-stacking game, where you actively try to stack your own deck in your favor, while also trying to control the flow of your opponent's deck."
The format isn't all that's groundbreaking about "Time Wars: Supreme Command."
Bijhan and I met at Meeples Games, the new business at California/Charlestown that not only sells games, but is also a place where you can sit down and play them in a relaxed atmosphere, with a café and a library where you can try out games before purchasing them.
Bijhan created "Time Wars" based on her experience as a game lover who missed seeing accurate representations of both her ethnicity and gender orientation – she describes herself as a "queer genderless Persian-American nerd" – in the games she loved. She wanted to see more diversity in the characters and their experiences.

Congratulations! West Seattle's Martin de Vrieze completes high-elevation 100-mile raceAugust 26, 2014 at 1:03 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people, WS & Sports | 5 Comments
Congratulations to another West Seattleite for an amazing accomplishment – a high-elevation challenge completed by Martin de Vrieze recently in Colorado. Francine Stroud shares the story and photo:
Martin de Vrieze, a 20-year West Seattle resident, recently ran the Leadville 100 "Race Across the Sky." This race is 100 miles of extreme Colorado Rockies terrain. The race spans elevations between 9200 feet up to 12,600 feet, and has a total elevation gain of 18,168 feet. The race must be completed in 30 hours or less. Generally, only one half of the runners that start are able to finish the race. This year there were 612 starters and only 351 finishers. The race begins at 4:00 AM in the dark and for Martin ended at dawn the following morning. Martin finished in 25 hrs. 43 mins. 48 secs. He came in 25th in his age group and 93rd overall. We are very proud of him.
Followup: West Seattle Senior Center hires ousted director as consultant, 'evaluates relationship' with Senior ServicesAugust 25, 2014 at 11:15 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 8 Comments
Karen Sisson is back at the Senior Center of West Seattle – as a consultant.
As first reported here July 14, after 25 years as center director, Sisson was fired by Senior Services, the citywide nonprofit that provides staffing to centers including West Seattle, after sending an e-mail that expressed concern over possible operational changes SS was reported to be considering. SS would not comment on the reason for Sisson's ouster, but multiple sources attributed it to the e-mail.
Now, the Senior Center's board – which operates independently of Senior Services and its board – has hired Sisson as a consultant, and is demanding that SS reinstate her as center director. From board president David Robertson:
The Senior Center of West Seattle unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing Karen Sisson as Center Director and expressing its lack of confidence in Paula Houston, the Agency Director of Senior Services. A copy of the resolution is attached:
The Senior Center of West Seattle has hired Karen Sisson as a consultant to assist the Board in dealing with financial matters of the Senior Center of West Seattle as the Senior Center evaluates its relationship with Senior Services.
Unlike most of the Seattle senior centers that are staffed through Senior Services, the West Seattle center owns its own building. In addition to the board resolution, Sisson's firing also has sparked a community outcry, including a petition drive, and an earlier board "vote of confidence" in her work. Sisson herself hasn't commented directly on her firing but told WSB she appreciates the messages of support.
No need to go downtown for a 'soapbox derby': North Admiral neighbors put on their ownAugust 24, 2014 at 9:24 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 3 Comments
(WSB photos by Katie Meyer)
The "soapbox race" downtown wasn't the only one in Seattle today – Beverly invited us to check out the one that happened in her North Admiral neighborhood this afternoon/evening as part of its annual block party.
She explained in the invitation, "We neighbors around College between Walnut and 41st Ave. SW have an annual block party the second to last weekend in August each year" – and much of it is headquartered in her home's front yard. "There are a lot of kids in the neighborhood, so this year we decided to have a soapbox derby!" In the photo below, that's Beverly's son Asa in the striped shirt on the right; he designed the cart with Tinkercad.
The derby featured kids of all ages – here's 3-year-old Reider and 1-year-old brother Hudson:
Whatever the cart design – the neighborhood derby featured human-powered transportation at its finest! Some of it, animal-inspired:
Thanks to Beverly for letting us know about the derby so we could stop by. Something cool happening in YOUR neighborhood? Here's how to reach us.
Congratulations! West Seattle's Tom Donohue wins 2 national championships in track cyclingAugust 23, 2014 at 11:49 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people, WS & Sports | 6 Comments
Congratulations to West Seattle athlete Tom Donohue for his victories at the USA Cycling National Track Championships, which continue through tomorrow on the Eastside. The report and photos are by proud wife Lisa Donohue:
Fauntleroy resident Tom Donohue earned his 2nd Gold medal Saturday at the USA Cycling National Track Championships at Marymoor Velodrome in Redmond. Tom slayed the competition in both the Match Sprint and 500m Time Trial 50-54 year-old category. In addition, he also set a new track record in the 500m.
Tom is a member of the Cucina Fresca cycling team. You might spot him sprinting along the streets of West Seattle in his red and black jersey.
Tom will be traveling to the Manchester England for the World Championships this October. Last year he ranked top 10 in World, and hopes to make it to the podium in 2014.
You can see his 500m time in the results on this page detailing today's highlights, and his sprint time in the highlights report from Thursday.
West Seattle scene: Daystar Retirement Village residents help WS Senior CenterAugust 21, 2014 at 5:58 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people | Comments Off
It's a double celebration tonight at Daystar Retirement Village (WSB sponsor) in Westwood – a barbecue party during which they are celebrating not only summer but also residents' support for the Senior Center of West Seattle. Last month, Daystar's Wanda Daudet (above, with SCWS's Lyle Evans) explains, they sponsored the center's annual luau, prepared by Daystar chef Kemberli Greco and served to more than 100 attendees, which brought the nonprofit center more than $600. A week later, Daystar's second annual Senior Summer Camp raised $460 for SCWS, and that's the check presented during tonight's barbecue.

Darrelle Revis Still Thinks He's The Best Corner In The Game
Richard Sherman picked the most public time to pop off at the mouth about being the best cornerback in the NFL. And he may be right. But that doesn't mean Darrelle Revis is backing off his stance that he—not Sherman—is the No. 1 corner in the game. Who would you take? From NFL.com:
"Don't get me wrong he's an entertainer, but he shouldn't have said that," Revis said Wednesday at the Pro Bowl. "The reporter asked him a question about the team and he went on to answer about me, me, me, me. So that is how I took it. He didn't answer the question in the right way." Revis didn't sound surprised that Sherman would shout to the world that he is the NFL's best cornerback. "It is what it is, that is Sherman," he said. "That is what he thinks. Everybody has their own opinion." And what is Revis' opinion on the topic? "I feel like I'm the best," he said. "Deion Sanders probably feels like he is the best. Everybody has their own personal opinion. And that is how you go with it and I think that is what makes it fun. "(Sherman is) saying he's the best," Revis continued. "I'm saying I'm the best, Joe Haden thinks he's the best. …You can go by numbers, you can go by the ball not being thrown to your side so many times, there are so many variables in it. But at the same time, we are all talented players."

Students go through a rigorous placement process in the quarter before they're scheduled to do their residencies. They attend a mandatory information session during the second week of the quarter that walks them through the JR program and placement process and also presents JR veterans.
At the session students receive a detailed, descriptive list of JR sites available the following quarter. To assist them in identifying their top choices, students also have a chance to examine reports filed by students who have done their residencies at these sites.
After doing their research, students submit an application with the JR coordinator. Among other things on the application, students describe what they hope to gain from their JR experiences; and they identify their top six site choices, explaining why they believe that these sites are particularly well-suited to them.
Students meet with the JR coordinator between the fifth and seventh weeks of the quarter in one-on-one appointments to discuss these choices. Students should not become fixated on a particular site, as there are typically a number of sites where they could derive similar benefits and skill development.
The JR coordinator assigns and posts a placement for each student in the eighth week of the quarter. The placements take into account a number of factors, including students' training, internships and campus journalism and communications-related experiences. Placements are also based on students' specialized interests, career goals and grades as well as insights from Medill faculty.
Students will not be placed at sites that they haven't indicated in their application or discussed with the JR coordinator. Sites not already vetted by the JR program may be considered, but students should discuss such alternatives with the JR coordinator before the placement quarter begins. Only sites that meet Medill's requirements for JR (providing a substantive editorial experience, good mentoring, etc.) will be added to the program.
While students may not get their top site choice, they are assured an assignment that will allow them to develop their skills and grow professionally. Students should consider their skill level, experience and the demands of the sites when making their selections. They can schedule a meeting with the JR coordinator before turning in their applications, if necessary, to discuss suitable selections.
Students will be required to secure their own housing accommodations while on JR, but the JR team provides guidance and information for finding housing. Many students use craigslist.com, but other sources include site supervisors, students who have been to the same JR site, local university housing postings and student housing services.
Students should make sure that the housing arrangements they make at Northwestern for the year that they will go on JR allow flexibility so they are not bound to leases and housing contracts for the quarter in which they are on JR.
NU dormitories allow students to leave without penalty during their JR quarter, although they are not guaranteed space in the same dormitory when they return. Students in sororities and fraternities should check with their houses for policies on leaving for a quarter, as these rules vary. Students who live in off-campus apartments should try to sublet during the quarter they are on JR.

Kohlberg Capital Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kohlberg Capital Corporation (Nasdaq:KCAP) (the "Company") announced its third quarter 2010 financial results.
Financial Highlights
- Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $3.8 million, or $0.17 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net investment income was approximately $6.7 million, or $0.30 per share.
- The Company declared dividends of $0.17 per share for each of the first, second and third quarters of 2010.
- Net realized losses were approximately $3.0 million and $10.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
- Net unrealized losses on investments were approximately $4.1 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
- Settlement of litigation filed by the Company regarding its credit facility resulting in a maturity date of February 28, 2011 at an interest rate based on prevailing commercial paper rates plus 0.85% (approximately 1.2% at September 30, 2010) and a $2 million settlement payment to the Company upon full repayment of outstanding balance.
- At September 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company's investments totaled approximately $323.5 million.
- Net asset value per share of $8.84 as of September 30, 2010 as compared to $9.56 as of December 31, 2009.
"During the third quarter, we reached a settlement with our lenders which established a maturity date of February 28, 2011 at our previously contracted all-in rate approximating 1.2% as of quarter-end and a settlement payment to us of $2 million," said Dayl Pearson, president and chief executive officer. "During the quarter we have continued to significantly de-lever our balance sheet -- our debt outstanding is down from $218 million at the end of last year to approximately $137 million at quarter-end to a current balance of approximately $95 million by the end of this week. Our asset coverage is 246% well above the parameters mandated by our status as a BDC. Our asset base remains heavily weighted to debt securities which made up approximately 59% of our investment portfolio, of which approximately 98% are secured loans. Our significant concentration in more senior securities coupled with significant asset diversity reflected in our average loan balances of approximately $2.4 million and loans spread across 23 different industries, have allowed us to maintain good portfolio quality in this difficult economic environment."
