This just in from BTB Advertiser Richard Doane of Burien Auto Repair – looks like Richard and his wife Sheila are housing one of Burien’s fastest-rising stars – a dog named Ryder!

Ryder, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and lifelong Burien resident, will be appearing in Hallmark’s 100th Anniversary TV Commercial, which will air this Sunday night (Nov. 29th) during the “Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie – A Dog Named Christmas,” which begins at 9pm on KIRO-TV (channel 7).

We’ve been told that the ad will be shown during the first commercial break, so be sure to set your TiVos/DVRs or watch closely for the first 20 minutes.

Owner Richard was recently contacted by Leo Burnett Advertising in Chicago who had previewed thousands of dog videos, and guess what? They selected Ryder to be one of the stars in this commercial, which will air nationally.

Ryder was selected for the commercial based on the following YouTube video clip that Richard shot and posted after his dog’s 1st Birthday about two years ago – it shows Ryder “blowing out the candles” on his birthday cake:

And get this – YOU can help make Ryder the winner of Hallmark’s “Cutest Dog of the Season” contest by voting online here:

(Don’t forget to forward the link on to all your friends – let’s see if we can make Ryder a real star!)

According to Richard, for his “acting services,” Ryder was paid $350 which he plans to donate to PAWS to help out dogs and cats less fortunate than himself.

Here’s what Richard had to say:

Ryder was chosen not only for his award-winning talent, but also for his positive attitude and willingness to help others.

When not chasing a tennis ball, Ryder loves to chase birds for fun, and go to the lake with his posse of other Corgis.

He has been a “therapy dog” at the Highline Medical Center, and enjoys spending time with his family and friends.

Remember to set your TiVo for Sunday night’s feature presentation – or at least until the first commercial break!

Former KIRO-TV reporter and anchor Susan Hutchison spoke with The B-Town Blog recently. She and County Council Chair Dow Constantine are going head-to-head to become King County’s next Executive.

PRIMARY RESULTS & ELECTION STRATEGY:
As of August 27th, the most recently updated election results show Susan with about 33% of the primary votes. The results also show the four office-holding Democrats in the primary race (including Dow) with a cumulative 62% of the vote.

How will you go about attracting some of that 62% your way? we asked Susan.

“Dow is so partisan. He just sees everything from the filter of his Democratic point of view. (Primary opponents) Fred Jarrett and Ross Hunter represented outsiders, as I did, and they did rather well,” she said.

“Most people looking at the vote results would say that the bulk of the votes went to outsider candidates. I would suggest that in fact the vote was very clearly for an outsider candidate.

“I think the way the voters divided us up was ‘insider versus outsider.’ And the outsiders won big.”

THE BUDGET:
“I think a ‘rainy day fund’ is absolutely prudent government management,” she said.

“In a (private sector) company, what you have is something called a cash reserve, and the finance department or board of directors is always looking at that cash reserve.

“It’s understood that you are going to have good days and bad days. Good years and bad years. You’ve got to have the capability to cover using that cash reserve. That is just a basic principle of good accounting and money management in a company. And that’s why it’s essential in government as well,” Susan said.

“We are in a budget crisis. We can project now that between this year and next we’re going to have a $110 million budget shortfall. We have to go back to first principles. That is ‘what is the county’s job?’ And the county’s job is to provide safety and protection to its people.

“It is really essential that we keep that in mind as we go through this process of trying to figure out how to make ends meet.

“This budget crisis we are now in falls directly at the feet of the county council and its chair, Dow Constantine, because the council carries the power of the purse.

“We cannot trust a politician who helped get us into this mess to get us out of it,” Susan said.

COMMENTS ABOUT BURIEN?
“Oh, absolutely. I was there recently for two (campaign) forums. Burien has that ‘Main Street USA’ feel,” she said. “It’s terrific. Oh, and there’s great access to the airport when you’re in Burien!”

Susan says she supports annexation efforts.

“I just think it’s important that the choice be given to the people. There’ve been some efforts throughout the county to annex without the residents (of the unincorporated area) weighing in on that decision and I think that’s wrong.

“I’m always with the people.”

THE KIRO YEARS:
Susan spent 20 years with the KIRO-TV News department.

“Certainly one my most treasured memories of the job I did there was to write and produce a documentary on Chinese culture and history called ‘Son of Heaven’. I spent a lot of time in China doing the shooting and research. It won several Emmy awards and had a year-long run of attention.”

Susan recounted the course of events that led up to her coming to KIRO:

After attending the University of Florida, she was working in television in Hawaii in the late 1970’s. Lloyd Cooney, who ran KIRO at the time, was visiting Hawaii and happened to see her delivering the news on a local channel. Cooney sent her a letter inviting her to consider working in Seattle.

“It was months before I actually met Lloyd, but I eventually came to work at KIRO. I just loved Lloyd when I met him. He’s an amazing fellow.

“I still have the letter he sent me. It’s very precious.”

NOTES:

• The General Election is November 3, and, like the primary, will be an all mail-in election.
• The B-Town Blog interviewed Dow Constantine the night of the August 18th primary and ran the interview the next day – click here to read it.

Yes, we too hate those TV “reality” competition shows (er, which is why we used to work on them…), but when one of Burien’s talented, 6′2″ female neighbors gets on by auditioning as a “Yodeling Dominatrix,” we just have to show our love.

Alas, last night Burien resident Manuela Horn got axed off “America’s Got Talent” by the likes of a fool named Hasselhoff, a whiner named Osbourne and the requisite judge with an English accent. Apparently they wanted “more dominatrix” while she gave them “more sexy mom.”

Oh well…it’s just TV, right?

Here’s the video from last night if you missed it:

According to the Youtube channel this video is on:

The yodeling dominatrix looked remarkably different without her black wig. She decided to bring her two worlds together — her mom world and her naughty side.

She gave her own twist to the Pussycat Dolls‘ “Don’t Cha,” changing the words and the meaning to something about moms.

The Hoff and Sharon buzzed her about halfway through. Piers finally did, too, giving us the first trifecta of the quarterfinals.

The judges said she changed too much from the character that they put through in Las Vegas.

She told Nick she was “devastated.”

Here’s Manuela’s stunning “Yodeling Dominatrix” audition video:

Manuela is actually quite a talented resident, having performed in Teatro Zinzanni, modeling, acting, and of course…yodeling, which she does so well because she was born in Germany.

We know we wouldn’t have buzzed her…and hey Manuela, if you’re ever looking to do any Burien-based performances, let us know. We’ve got some ideas…

To most people, today is “just” another April’s Fool’s Day, so beware the pranks o’April.

But to this fool, April 1st also stands for one other thing that means a lot to me:

IT’S J.P. PATCHES BIRTHDAY!

For you non-Northwest natives, J.P. (“Julius Pierpont”) Patches is a well-known local TV clown who spent many years on KIRO-TV in the 60s and 70s entertaining thousands of us Seattle kids (here’s a link to his website for the unenlightened: www.jppatches.com).

To me, J.P. Patches is the #2 comedic influence in my life. #1 is my Dad, who was the funniest man I ever met. Of course it helped that he was my Dad, that it was impossible for me not to meet him, and well, he was around me more than any other man, but I think you get the point – Dad was funniest, J.P. was #2.

As a young child growing up in West Seattle, I’d watch J.P. on TV in the morning before school during breakfast, then again in the afternoon. He did the show live every day, twice a day for 10-15 years, along with his sidekick “girlfriend” Gertrude (aka Bob Newman), Tikey Turkey, the ’second meanest man in the world” Boris S. Wort (Newman again), Ggoorrsstt the Friendly Frpl, and a myriad of other characters, most, if not all, played by Newman.

Recently, J.P. and Gertrude were honored with a comical statue in Fremont (aka “the old Burien”), along with the infamous “ICU2TV Set” which sadly, remains the only bad taste in my love of this clown. (LINK: http://jppatches.com/page41.htm)

You see, during each episode, J.P. would “look” through the TV set (actually a cardboard frame) and speak to all his Patches Pal kid viewers who were having birthdays that day, and, by name, send them a personal wish along with a message like “Look in the dryer Scotty for a special surprise.”

Much to my dismay (Mom please note: I know you never meant to hurt my feelings, and I’m sure it was a hassle to to call it in, BUT…), good ol’ J.P. never noticed me on my birthday.

Not once.

(insert charmingly boyish sniffling sounds here)

I remember, on the one day per year where it was “my day” I’d sit in front of the TV, my eye glued to my hero, and await for him to “tune in” the ICU2TV Set.

“Oh boy,” I’d think, “I wonder where Mom hid the gift for me – the dryer? Under the stairs by the empty coke bottles? Or maybe in the hamper?”

Then J.P. would speak. And I would wait.

“Happy birthday to Danny, go look in the shower. And Sally, be sure to look under your bed. And Betty, look in the hamper…and…that’s it for today’s Patches Pals celebrating birthdays! We’ll be back with some cartoons right after this…”

If I was a modern child with a cell phone back then I think my Twiter message would like something like this:

“OMFG JP dint say my NM! WTF???”

Unfortunately, cell phones hadn’t been invented yet so all I could do was stifle my tears while eating my Froot Loops™.

I am lucky though. I’ve met J.P. Patches three times, the first being around 1968 or so at our neighborhood grocery store (did you know that at one time practically every neighborhood in the area had its own small grocery store? I know, hard to believe…). I believe this store was called Zorich’s, and it was located on Charleston Street near 49th SW in West Seattle.

It was a BIG deal to wait in line to see this man. And I did for what seemed like hours but was probably only 20 minutes (like very boy in line, I’m sure I had to pee). Of course I didn’t mention to my Dad anything about not being mentioned on the ICU2TV set as I was “cool” with it (not really – I just wanted to not look lie a crybaby; plus remember – I had to pee!).

Finally, my turn came and J.P. asked my name.

“Scott,” I muttered.

“Scott? Well I just happen to have a button here with your name on it!”

At that moment he handed me a big red and white button with my name on it. Literally. I still have it somewhere, stored away in one of those boxes you put your valuable childhood memories in, which end up getting buried by other boxes with your own children’s childhood memories from not that long ago.

The second time I met J.P. was in 1994 when I returned from a six-year stint in LA where I wrote and directed on a few network comedy shows. This meeting took place on the closing night of Murray’s Doghouse, a longtime greasy spoon restaurant that had become a Seattle institution. This was such a big event that KCTS was broadcasting live, directly from the dive. My ex-”Almost Live!” buddy Pat Cashman hosted, along with Nancy Guppy and probably John Keister, and of course with those other Seattle institutions, J.P. and Gertrude. This was during my first week back from Hollywood, and it made for a wonderful return to my hometown. I ended up sitting at the bar with them, just us talking, and I confessed right then and there:

“You two were probably the reason I got into doing comedy TV,” I said, raising a pint of what was probably a Hefeweizen.

We joked around a bit more, sharing behind-the-scenes TV production stories, and I think they liked hearing that.

The next time I saw J.P. was when the Seafair Pirates were landing at Alki. I was there with my 4-year old son, and I introduced him to J.P. He only recognized him as “that clown guy on your shirt” (I have a J.P. t-shirt, get your own here) and I’m not sure his meeting him had as much impact as it did me.

J.P. is now over 80 years old, and last I heard he’s battling a form of blood cancer called acute myeloma.

I sincerely hope he’s well on this day, his true birthday, and I will peer through my own imaginary ICU2TV to acknowledge J.P., raise a toast to all the joy and laughter he not only brought into my life, but inspired me to try to do the same (although nowhere even close…).

So…Happy Birthday J.P. Patches…and thanks!

Here’s a clip from his show that really demonstrates his comedic style:

One more thing – yesterday I updated my Facebook status as “Excied that tomorrow is…you guessed it…J.P. Patches Birthday!” and here are some humorous comments from some “friends,” including Highline Historical Society Director Cyndi Upthegrove and my little sisters’ comment on her not knowing who J.P. was:

So some bird-themed team is playing a mineral-based team in Sunday’s annual overblown showcase of overpriced TV ads ($3 million per :30 seconds?!), and for all you crazed football fans there’s only one solution – find a place with a big-screen, brewskies, jello shots and plenty of fellow fans and go crazy.

We doubt that an alleged snow storm will stop a rugged Alaskan crab fisherman from showing up, but keep that in mind for this scheduled event – “Deadliest Catch” star Mike Fourtner will appear at Highline Community College’s Marine Science & Technology Center Saturday, Dec. 13th for two engagements: 11am and 1pm.

There is no charge.

Mike Fourtner, part-time captain and engineer of the Time Bandit on The Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch,” will discuss what it’s like and what it takes to be an Alaskan crab fisherman.

“People always ask me what a typical day consists of and I will definitely dismiss this myth and make it known that on a crab boat, there is no such thing as a typical day,” Fourtner said.

To get a taste of what Fourtner is like, here’s a clip of him going postal after ripping his rain pants:

(let’s hope he doesn’t show up with a gun)

Highline’s MaST Center is located midway between Seattle and Tacoma at 28203 Redondo Beach Drive S.,  in Des Moines (map below).

You may recall that on Thurs., Sept. 25th, a buncha mysterious helicopters were seen hovering over Burien like hungry hornets at a carnivore’s convention.

People freaked and started calling/emailing us, wondering why and how our world was about to end.

The reality of course was that it was just local News Choppers wasting expensive fuel covering the test-landing of the expensive third runway at SeaTac Airport.

Well, it’s going to happen again Wed. morning Oct. 8th (pending the weather), anytime between around 9am and, um…whenever they darn well feel like it, as the Port of Seattle will be conducting another test-landing, this time with the first-ever wide-body commercial aircraft.

So consider yourself warned!

From their press release:

First Commercial Wide-Body Test Landing on Sea-Tac’s Third Runway Set for Wednesday, October 8th

The Port of Seattle will welcome the first-ever wide-body commercial aircraft to land on Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s new third runway as part of the final scheduled test landing for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification.

A Northwest Airlines A330 will perform several touch and go landings as part of the certification process for the new runway scheduled to open November 20th.

An Alaska Airlines 737-800 was the first commercial-type aircraft to land on the third runway September 25th. That test certified narrow-body aircraft.

FAA administrators will monitor the landing to test and verify the runway’s instrument landing systems (or ILS). The aircraft will approach under auto-land conditions to test the ILS in what would be the worst visual landing conditions an aircraft would encounter.

NOTE: This event will be weather dependent. The exact time of the landings is also fluid and will be dependent on coordination with Air Traffic Control.

NEWSFLASH: It’s not the roller coaster crashing stock market, bank failures or the impending election that’s a true sign of the apocalypse – it’s little things like this Craigslist Ad that are the real indicators of doom:

Remember that old media, the one that came in through a box in a “living room” where you sat in front of it and waited for news or entertainment “shows” to come on and entertain you between commercials?

Yeah…I think it used to be called “Tee Vee” or something silly like that.

Well, apparently, there are still some “shows” being “produced”!

One of which is apparently having an “Open Casting Call” in, gulp…Tukwila, of all places.

The “show” in question is called “America’s Next Top Model” and they’re doing a casting call on Tuesday, Aug. 12th, from 11am to 3pm at the Doubletree Guest Suites Seattle Airport/Southcenter, located at 16500 Southcenter Parkway.

So…do you have what it takes to be Tukwila’s Next Top Model? And we’re not talking iPod or iPhone folks, we’re talking iYaiyai here.

You can download the application here.

More info at the “show’s” “website” (whatever that is…), and here’s a snippet:

“Interested applicants must bring three photographs of themselves, each clearly labeled on the back with their name. One must be a close-up of their face, the second must be a full-length photograph of their entire (clothed) body, and the third must be a full-length photograph of them wearing a swimsuit, and one of these three photographs may be in black and white. Producers are looking for a variety of models including plus size models. Polaroids are acceptable as long as they are clearly visible. Applicants must be between 18-27 years of age, at least five feet and seven inches (5′7″) in height, a United States citizen and currently living in the United States…Cameras will be on location; so all applicants need to arrive camera ready!”

No word yet on whether Producers will ask auditioneers to “show us your Southcenter” or not, but we warn all those seriously thinking of auditioning to watch this video first – you may change your mind:

What happens when a young Burien resident figures out how to upload video from his new webcam to YouTube?

This does – meet “The Dude From Burien,” sure to be a huge hit on the internets (or not):

And this, where he explains way too much about his “new hat”:

We can’t wait for his next video!

(okay, we lied…we can)

Meet local Burienite Jenascia Chakos, who became a reality TV celebrity for her appearance on America’s Next Top Model in 2004 (gulp…sorry for the late notice – we don’t watch this show and just found the videos).

Here’s some fluff on your B-Town neighbor courtesy the internets:

Before she auditioned for America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 2, Jenascia worked as a waitress for Hooters in Seattle.

She enjoys watching The Family Guy and was greatly entertained by the musical film Moulin Rouge, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

She enjoys eating beef dishes.

In 2007, she gave birth to her first child.

Standing 5 feet, 7 inches, Jenascia was the shortest among the 12 Finalists in America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 2.

For the first photo shoot, Jenascia arrived three hours late because the other models did not wake her up when it was time to leave. She felt betrayed by all of them, especially by fellow Top Model finalist April, whom she had helped the day before. She was not eliminated for being tardy, but was cut out off the show on the fourth week after failing to compensate for her lack of height.

After the show, Jenascia went back to her old job as a waitress at a Hooter’s restaurant.

Even though we’re four years late, we figured that we aren’t the only ones who don’t watch this show, so here are some videos of your neighbor Jenascia from the show:
