Global Lens Film Screening: ‘The Finger’ @ Delridge Library2:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Global Lens Film Screening: ‘The Finger’ at the Delridge Library, 2:00 pm, Saturday February 2nd. Join us for a screening of the Argentinian film, “The Finger.” This movie is part of the Global Lens series, which includes 10 award-winning narrative feature films from Albania, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Rwanda and Turkey. Library events and programs are free and everyone is welcome. Registration is not required. Doors open at 1:30 pm.
More about the film:
“The Finger (El Dedo)”
After seven years of dictatorship, a remote village in Argentina formally becomes a town with the birth of its 501st inhabitant. Hidalgo, a slick and ingratiating scion, is eager for the new post of mayor. Smelling a rat, Baldomero (a beloved natural leader with a habitually tapping digit) opposes him with his own candidacy — and soon turns up dead. His shopkeeper brother vows revenge, keeping Baldomero’s severed finger in a jar, initially as a remembrance, but eventually as an absurd icon of leadership that spurs the town to defy Hidalgo, crooked elections and interloping powers as the town goes its own way. Based on real events, this charming dramatic comedy pokes fun at small town ways while celebrating true democratic values.Director: Sergio Teubal
Country: Argentina
Language: Spanish, with subtitles in English
Year: 2011
Length: 93 minutesThe Global Lens film series supports the distribution of unique and critically acclaimed cinematic works from around the world. Since its founding, the series has provided a platform for exceptional storytelling and opened a window in the diverse world in which we live.

Shirley Valentine @ ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
“Shirley Valentine” at the ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery runs January 23 through February 16, 2013.
January 22 — Pay What You Can Preview
Showtimes: Wednesdays — Saturdays at 7:30 pm
Sundays January 27 and February 3 at 3:00 pmTickets: $34.50 Adults / $34.00 Seniors / $12.00 (Under 25) / $10.00 TPS members
Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

6:40 pm – Department of Neighborhoods and the Neighborhood Council
Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods and the community structure it created is a model other municipalities envy and try to emulate, for good reason. We’ll spend a little time discussing how the system works in Seattle, the neighborhood geography of West Seattle and the south Delridge District, the benefits of a neighborhood council and how to best leverage them. Presented by Mat McBride and DoN District Representative.

7:25 pm – Seattle Parks Dept – Balancing Environmental and Social Needs
Roxhill Park has a rich history of community involvement, including the bog, “The project created a forested wetland at the site, which is a unique peat bog buried since the late 1960s and the headwaters of Longfellow Creek. In 1992 the City adopted the Longfellow Creek Watershed Plan, and one of the specific goals was to re-establish the wetlands at Roxhill Park. The community and the Westwood Community Council embraced the plan and the effort, and applied for and received a $100,000 Neighborhood Matching Fund award to get started. Then the project received $412,000 in funding from the 2000 voter-approved Pro Parks Levy. The restoration improves water quality, enhances the creek, improves salmon and is low maintenance.”. Parks will discuss what’s been done lately, and what’s planned for the future. Presented by Seattle Parks Dept South Park Resources Manager Robert Stowers.

“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Despite this growth, TR has retained highly personalized care tailored to each individual’s needs. Services are enhanced by a strong sense of community that not only provides natural support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but inspires hope in men and women who are in the early stages of their recovery.TR highly values work, education, volunteer experiences, and involvement in other meaningful adult activities as important components of recovery.

Stairway Walks Day @ West Seattle10:00 am – 12:00 pm
On Saturday, February 9, 2013 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, join Feet First for Stairway Walks Day. Urban explorers are invited to join one of three free, guided neighborhood walks featuring outdoor stairways in West Seattle. Space is limited to 20 people per walk. Please RSVP in advance at www.feetfirst.org or www.stairwaywalksday.brownpapertickets.com.
The stairs, many of them more than 100 years old, form a network of “scenic byways” for neighborhood discovery – a priceless asset for outdoor fun, fitness and health. The stairway routes featured on Stairway Walks Day are from Cathy and Jake Jaramillo’s new book Seattle Stairway Walks: An Up-and-Down Guide to City Neighborhoods. The book is intended to help urban adventurers discover and appreciate the beautiful greenspaces, history, art and architecture that make up the vivid fabric of our neighborhoods.
Fauntleroy and Morgan Junction
This is a wide-ranging stairway walk in the northern part of the Fauntleroy neighborhood in West Seattle, and it includes excellent opportunities for food and drink near the end. On this route we’ll step down the second-longest Seattle stairs; descend a wooded bluff to the cobblestone beach below; and “discover” a well-hidden stairway near Morgan Junction. There’s also a stop at little-known Solstice Park, home of a giant earthen astrolabe.Walk Leader: Feet First Advisory Board Member and Communications Committee Member, Chas Redmond
Numbers: 3.5 miles: 495 steps down, 69 steps up
When: All walks start at 10 am on Saturday, February 9. Please RSVP for detailed instructions about the meet up location.
Alki from Above
Is there a route from the top of the bluff, to the beach below–maybe a stairway or two with a view? You’ll find out on this walk, which starts in the North Admiral neighborhood at the top of the peninsula, advances to the bluff’s edge, then plunges down steep lanes and scenic byways toward the beach.Walk Leader: Feet First Neighborhood Walking Ambassador, Timothy Lowry
Numbers: 3.4 miles: 374 steps down, 73 steps up
When: All walks start at 10 am on Saturday, February 9. Please RSVP for detailed instructions about the meet up location.
Longfellow Creek and Pigeon Point
The hugely varied route starts out on the Longfellow Creek Legacy Trail, one of the nicest and most accessible sections of this restored year-round creek. We’ll climb the west flank of Puget Ridge via the Genesee stairs to explore the Pigeon Point neighborhood on top, with peek-a-boo views of Cascades and Olympics. We’ll descend another well-hidden stairway down the east flank, before rounding Pigeon Point under the West Seattle Bridge, right next to the heart of industrial West Seattle.Walk Leader: Feet First Neighborhood Walking Ambassador, Bryan Fiedorczyk
Numbers: 1.8 miles: 274 steps down, 314 steps up
When: All walks start at 10 am on Saturday, February 9. Please RSVP for detailed instructions about the meet up location.
For more information about Stairway Walks Day, please contact Darcy Edmunds by emailing darcy@feetfirst.org or calling 206-652-2310, ext. 5. Space is limited to 20 people per walk. Please RSVP in advance at www.feetfirst.org or www.stairwaywalksday.brownpapertickets.com.
According to author and Feet First Neighborhood Walking Ambassador Cathy Jaramillo, “Stairways are truly the scenic byways to neighborhoods, and we’re always curious about what’s at the top – or the bottom. They get you to, and between, places you’d probably never know about otherwise. We’re excited about celebrating them with so many people on Stairway Walks Day!”
Feet First Executive Director Lisa Quinn said, “Stairways provide a great way to exercise and improve health and get to know a neighborhood. Stairway Walks Day encourages people to explore the Puget Sound region’s unique and beautiful neighborhoods by walking.”
More about Feet First Since 2001, Feet First has worked to ensure that all communities in Washington are walkable. Walking is a vital transportation mode that connects communities, reduces pollution, improves health and physical fitness, and allows people to explore their natural environment.

Meet The Artists:
Michael B. Maine – I use photography, video, and audio to empower people to find, develop, and share their stories. Everybody has a story, and I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to know that story, play an active role in it, and share both the process and product with the world. I feel most alive when working with people to bring out and share their authentic selves and stories.I feel personal evolution in each photograph we (”we” meaning the subject and I) make, interview we conduct, or stroll we take as I find some piece of inspiration from them.
My pieces are indicative of the curious nature with which I approach my projects. I typically begin with an issue, but use inquisition to allow the real stories emerge. Rather than me telling their story, I provide a platform for a person to tell their own. With this process, I hope to create pieces that are authentic, unique, and beautiful.
Nancy Leith of Emerald Heart Flying creates vibrant inspirational fabric mandalas (Sanskrit meaning “circle”) using vintage and new fabrics, buttons, beads, ribbons, trims and other found objects collected on her travels over the years. Each mandala is made with an intention, i.e., healing, creativity, abundance or passion, or perhaps the memory of a place and a feeling associated with it. The colors, textures and focal point chosen have their own unique vibrations that resonate with the viewer in their own unique way.
Note cards made from photos of the mandalas are also available. To see more of her work and learn more about mandalas visit her web site at www.emeraldheartflying.com. Nancy can also custom design a mandala for you. Contact her at nancy@emeraldheartflying.com.
Vera Johnson – My photos are quite simply what I see when I look around and what appeals to me. I have always been drawn to the old, naturally weathered and imperfect. I allow that I cannot always capture what I want to present, nor how I see it, however I try.
I’m self taught. I take photos for my own pleasure. I am grateful to be able to offer them to you, for viewing, or for purchase. Enjoy.

Roy Zimmerman: “Wake Up Call” concert @ Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation7:30 pm – 9:15 pm
ROY ZIMMERMAN: WAKE UP CALL
“It’s a big, big country full of all kinds of people,” says satirical songwriter Roy Zimmerman, “but there’s one thing we can all agree on. And when I find out what that is, I’ll let you know.” He’s bringing his show “Roy Zimmerman: Wake Up Call” to West Seattle Saturday, February 9 for a performance at the Westside UU Congregation, 7141 California Ave SW. Admission for the West Seattle performance is $18 or pay what you can.
Details:
The world is full of funny songs, but Zimmerman’s hilarious, rhyme-intensive originals are also incisive calls to action, smart, savvy and undeniable. “Wake Up Call” is ninety minutes of these songs – funny songs like “Abstain With Me” and “I Want a Marriage Like They Had In the Bible,” heartfelt songs like “Hope, Struggle and Change” and “I Approve This Message,” and impassioned comic commentary.
In thirteen albums over twenty years, Roy has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for Peace and Social Justice. His songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime. He has recorded for Warner/Reprise Records. He’s been profiled on NPR’s “All Things Considered.”
Zimmerman’s YouTube videos have amassed over seven million views, and he’s a featured blogger for the Huffington Post. In 2012, Roy and his wife and co-writer Melanie Harby traveled 47,000
miles to 161 shows in 49 states. “Even in the Reddest of states,” Zimmerman reports, “we found Bright Blue Dots — groups of people huddled together to do Progressive work where it most needs to be done.”In every state Roy and Melanie visited they wrote a new verse to their song, “Vote Republican“, each one taking a different satirical slant on the GOP election year agenda. In the version recorded in Hyde Park, NV, for instance, Roy sits down with the statues of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and teaches them how to save a faltering economy in words taken directly from Mitt Romney’s website (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyJ0ORtLlfs).
Roy’s songs take aim at politics, of course; there’s a plaintive lament about how hard it is “To Be a Liberal,” a rollicking indictment of the “Socialist” policies of George W. Bush and Richard Nixon, a tender ode to “Citizens United.” There are social targets as well; a lesson in
“Creation Science 101,” a lambasting of the “Defenders of Marriage” who oppose same-sex unions, a “Sing-Along Second Amendment.”At times though, Roy wears his heart on his Left sleeve. “Hope and Change is what you voted for,” he sings, “…but you know the slogan always needed just one more word: Hope, Struggle and Change.”
“He simultaneously inspires me and makes me laugh my ass off,” says comedian/author Paul Krassner.
Sing Out! Magazine writes, “Zimmerman is a guy on the left skewering folks on the right with rapier-sharp lyrics … underneath the caustic satire is a man who is surprisingly optimistic.”
“Zimmerman lifted the evening,” reports Stephen Holden in the New York Times, “squawking and clucking his scorn with a contagious irreverence.”

Shirley Valentine @ ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
“Shirley Valentine” at the ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery runs January 23 through February 16, 2013.
January 22 — Pay What You Can Preview
Showtimes: Wednesdays — Saturdays at 7:30 pm
Sundays January 27 and February 3 at 3:00 pmTickets: $34.50 Adults / $34.00 Seniors / $12.00 (Under 25) / $10.00 TPS members
Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Public talk: “Losing Assumptions, Gaining Precision” @ Daystar Retirement Village2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
The Twelfth Church of Christ, Scientist, is hosting international speaker Kevin Graunke, C.S.B., who will be giving a free public talk Sunday, February 10th at 2:30 pm at Daystar Retirement Village.
Details from the news release:
Spiritually precise thinking and positive outcomes
International speaker to discuss how spiritual insight overturns flawed assumptions and brings lasting solutions to life’s problemsWHY: Assumptions, spoken and unspoken, drive the majority of public and private and dialogue today. But what happens if we never question our assumptions—and later we discover they’re flawed? Kevin Graunke [GRON-key], an international speaker coming to this area, says that through the logic of spiritual insight, we can challenge assumptions and make a lasting difference in our world today.
WHAT: In Graunke’s talk, “Losing Assumptions, Gaining Precision,” he points out that this is the kind of spiritually precise outlook exemplified by Jesus Christ, who said, “Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously” (see John 7:24).
Graunke will draw on ideas from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, a book that describes how to find health, safety and confidence through spiritual understanding and logical, inspired reasoning.
In this talk the audience will hear and discuss ideas on:
• Why trusting in the inevitability of God’s goodness is a quality that belongs to everyone, and…
• How spiritual reasoning is actually a mental springboard, and gives us all we need to overturn all flawed assumptions and become healers, restorers and peacemakers.WHEN: Sunday, February 10th at 2:30 P.M.
WHERE: Daystar Retirement Village (West Seattle)
2615 S.W. Barton St.
Seattle, WA 98126WHO: Kevin Graunke, C.S.B., has a lifelong love for the Scriptures, and has witnessed the restorative power of prayer many times, both for himself and his family. This includes physical healings, conquering fear after losing two jobs, and restoring broken relationships. As a practitioner of Christian Science healing for nearly 20 years, Graunke has helped people find renewed health and lasting answers to questions and personal challenges through the Scriptures as well as in the practical system of healing presented in Science and Health. In addition to serving as an international speaker for the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, Graunke serves the public through his healing practice and teaching; writing for The Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel, and through audio contributions to the award-winning Daily Lift international podcast series (http://christianscience.com/prayer-and-health/inspiration/your-daily-lift.)

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

quality and expertise, remarkably creating an intimate setting with melodies that are pure delight and, in short, amazing.”Buxton built on the success of his earlier work with Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman to release “Unbroken,” available on iTunes, Amazon.com, and on the artist’s website at DamonBuxton.com
C and P Coffee is a casual concert venue and coffee shop located in a comfortable 1904 Craftsman style house in West Seattle. More information on the concert can be found at DamonBuxton.com/concerts and CandPCoffee.com.

Shirley Valentine @ ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
“Shirley Valentine” at the ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery runs January 23 through February 16, 2013.
January 22 — Pay What You Can Preview
Showtimes: Wednesdays — Saturdays at 7:30 pm
Sundays January 27 and February 3 at 3:00 pmTickets: $34.50 Adults / $34.00 Seniors / $12.00 (Under 25) / $10.00 TPS members
Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

“Interpretive naturalist Anne Bentley says the department offers guided nature walks through the year, but this time of year is often a prime time for owls.
“Since the sun sets earlier this time of year, we can offer programs earlier in the evening,” she says. “And in late February, early March, owls start looking for mates and might be hooting. That makes them easier to find.”
