Like Webster's Dictionary, it's Morocco boundWith its catchy music and vivacious cast, Taproot Theatre Company's production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is good summer entertainment for the whole family. This musical has been a proven winner on stages large and small for more than 35 years, and Taproot carries on that tradition.Director Scott Nolte wisely decided in mounting this production to cut out some of the glitz and adapt the show to a small cast and Taproot's relatively small stage. What he came up with is a highly workable rendition that retains the power of the story and all the enthusiasm of the music.
A collection of posthumously published poetry by William Dunlop may serve to boost his reputation in the country he called home for 40-plus years.As News publisher Mike Dillon wrote in these pages last year: "When William Dunlop died of cancer on Oct. 20, 2005, at age 69, the local media scarcely blinked. The English expat and Queen Anne resident surely deserved better."The better may have arrived with "Collected Poems," a volume published by a committee of friends, including Dillon, and containing several unpublished works alongside previously published Dunlop poems such as "De Capo," "Boxing Day" and "Caruso for the Children."

After our usual quick complimentary breakfast at the hotel in Mobile, Ala., Pop and I once again headed his dark-silver Chrysler 300 west - no longer driving into the rising sun but away from it, a welcome change.Even though we were still five states away from completing our Lap of America - and one of those was the long haul across Texas - we felt that with the sun to our backs it wouldn't be too many days on the road before we pulled into Pop's driveway in Las Vegas.Halfway across Louisiana we ran along behind a woman in a big Oldsmobile and watched as she took both hands off the wheel while she tied back her hair. We changed lanes and moved around her.
Last week this paper published a beautiful travel piece by Mike Davis about his journey home to Gildone, Italy, which his wife's maternal family had left to emigrate in 1880 to America, and then on to Cleveland, Ohio.First, his descriptions of my beloved Roma took me back to all the time I have spent in that city. They say Rome is a lifetime project, and after having lived in the city the equivalent of a year and a half over the past eight years, I know that I have just barely scraped the surface of that unfathomable place.
As the past week of weather has indicated, we are entering the months of summer heat.

With the libraries in the area still closed, Magnolia's Bookstore and Queen Anne Books remain the area's lifelines to the literary world.

Or, how many parking spaces can dance on the head of a pin?t took two hours, several votes and some hand wringing, but an advisory committee at John Hay Elementary School finally decided last week to deny the school district's request that it be allowed to ditch 14 parking spots in order to sell the old Queen Anne High School gym to a private developer.
Historic housing at Capehart military site to be preservedMayor Greg Nickels has sent a proposal to the Seattle City Council to finalize a deal to add 24 acres to Discovery Park, while preserving more than two dozen historic homes on the site. The city's purchase of the United States Navy's Capehart housing site in the heart of Discovery Park would fulfill one of the Magnolia community's long-term goals and add an important missing piece to the popular park.

As a youngster, Vizzare delivered the Queen Anne News.

The group furnishes households for families that are transitioning out of shelters into new housing of some sort - either transitional or permanent.
