    Not classy enough for theaters?
    Not classy enough for theaters?
    October 23, 2008 7:48 pm

    Oh my goodness. Alaina St. Clair from Renton considers the city’s theaters “kind of nasty.” She goes downtown for movies, except for the new Regal Cinemas at The Landing. I guess that makes the rest of us who enjoy the Renton theaters, including the new one of course, not quite classy enough since we consider the rest of the theaters nice. We’re not snobby enough, huh?

    Elections are the time to speak our truths individually, with no concern of repercussions or consequences. We don’t have to agree or disagree with anyone, just our own conscience. There was a letter in the Renton Reporter recently that said someone should investigate the Renton School District. Since Marcie Maxwell is running as a legislative representative and is a member of the Renton School Board, that might not be a bad idea.

    As a school nurse for 14 years, I’ve had the great fortune to work in schools with the Communities In Schools of Renton’s Family Liaison program ever since it began in 1994. I still remember what it was like before family liaisons began working in the district. Food bank referrals, clothing bank referrals, housing referrals, transportation referrals and holiday assistance requests generally came to the school nurse.

    While recorded history stretches pretty far back, it doesn’t go back far enough to tell us the name of the person who invented the yard sale. Perhaps it was an early caveman named Og Yard. Maybe Og had decided to unload a bunch of spears and clubs he didn’t need any more by staging a cave sale – or maybe he called it a “spring cave-cleaning sale.” No, wait a minute! That’s preposterous. That had to be Og’s wife. No man would ever get rid of perfectly good spears and clubs.

    A few weeks ago I surveyed the major contenders to be named for Barack Obama’s running mate and concluded that he will likely select a popular governor in a swing state. Why a governor? Because anything associated with Washington, D.C. is toxic. President Bush’s popularity is in the 20s and the popular rating for Congress is 9 percent!
