Columbia City Farmers Market
| Fall has arrived… and the Columbia City Farmers Market is open through October 22, overflowing with fabulous fresh vegetables and fruits. Look for yellow, red and orange carrots, eggplants in dark purple, white and striped, peppers mild, sweet, hot and burning, fresh basil (now's the time to make pesto and freeze it for later, when fresh basil is no longer available), crisp apples from tart to sweet, beets in gold, red and striped (and beet greens are packed with vitamins), all kinds of tomatoes, potatoes and lettuces… Not to mention excellent cheeses, baked goods, fresh pasta, wild-caught salmon, pasture-raised goat and beef, and fresh eggs.

chain link fence removal at Orcathis Saturday, September 27th, 10 am, Orca@Whitworth 45th & Dawson Come lend a hand on a neighborhood beautification project we can all take pride in… We're going to take out the outer layer of chain link fence along the North side of the Whitworth Playfield (along Dawson at 45th, approximately) this Saturday, starting at 10 am. The goal is to get the fencing off the poles, roll it up to be recycled, and get started digging the poles out of the ground. Call if you want to help or need more details: 722-5177 or moc.loa|3amojoj#moc.loa|3amojoj. |

A Chinook Book, direct to your doorA fundraiser for Graham Hill Elementary. Chinook Book is a coupon book that supports local businesses and gives straightforward and simple ideas about improving health and reducing impacts on the environment. Coupons are easy to use: for food, services, and fun family activities. A couple trips to the grocery store pay for the book — the rest is gravy. Local, organic, free-range gravy no less! Please take a look at the Chinook Book website for a listing of all coupons. Each book sells for $20, and the school receives $10 of that. |

Combating Crime
Like most of us, I'm concerned about the seeming increase in crime, including armed assault in our neighborhoods. I've had informal discussions with some neighbors and I attended the first meeting of the newly formed Southeast Seattle Neighborhood District Council, a breakoff group of the Southeast Seattle District Council, on Tuesday the 7th. The increased crime issue was addressed and we were encouraged to write paper letters to city officials, council members, media representatives, our State Senator, etc., voicing our concerns and asking for the fulfillment of hiring 50 more police officers as budgeted for in 2007.

Amber at the Rainier Valley Post says she doesn't want direct links from the Wikli's blogossiphere over her concern that gossip just isn't her brand. We still encourage you to check out her blog.
