Two-week notice laws and the environment are in; chemical plants and campaign spending are out. At least, that’s what one might think after witnessing Tuesday’s electoral debate in Sumner.
At the end of a heated Oct. 6 match-up against Decatur High School, the Bonney Lake High School girls golf team was tied up on the point count, 135-135.
Retail fashion can be a fickle business: tastes shift all the time, constantly driving interest to new styles and products.
That’s why Dorothy Pearson and Traci Norris get their fashion 411 from the source: local teenagers.
“We look for what kids want,” Pearson said. “A lot of teens come into the store and we ask them what they’re looking for. What’s got bling? What’s in style?
“Right now, it’s dark, dark denim.”
Another year, and another Come Walk With Me breast cancer benefit has come to an end.
And what a walk it was (or ride, for those who preferred to fly their pink behind the snarl of a Harley). Roughly twice as many people walked Saturday as have walked in the most successful walks of previous years.

Sumner High paddled past Steilacoom High’s swimmers Oct. 4 at a home dual meet that ended with the Spartans on top 98-71.
Linden just seems to be the Sumner Spartans’ course. The competition couldn’t touch Sumner’s boys golf team last week, save for Franklin Pierce. The SHS boys beat Fife 70-39 Oct. 4 and Thursday’s three-way against Franklin Pierce and Washington resulted in 68-61 and 68-51 scores in favor of the Spartans.
The Bonney Lake High boys golf team achieved its highest point total in two years Oct. 4, with a score of 65 against Auburn Mountainview. Unfortunately for the Panthers, Mountainview prevailed in the end with a score of 88.
Participation in “Come Walk With Me,” MultiCare’s fundraiser for breast cancer research, has reached a milestone in preregistered walkers this year, at 500. Past years have topped out at 300 in participating walkers alone.
This is the third entry in a series of interviews with candidates for Sumner’s city council.
The first time Steve Lemco was introduced to Joe Walsh — the musician, not the man — he was in the throes of his first and only acid trip, pushed out the door by a man who had earned his enthusiastic welcome to the Lake Tapps waterfront party with a bag of the stuff and a curt “Who wants to trip?”
The Sumner Spartan swimmers triumphed over all comers last week, beating Clover Park 134-26 and Eatonville 112-67.
