Page 4 October 25, 2018 | Highline College | Opinion Pay attention to smaller elections

With ballots arriving, it’s time to acknowledge the impor- tance of voting in congressional and legislative elections. This November is the Congressional midterms, with 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate on the ballot. Here in Washington, there are ten U.S. House seats, corresponding with congressional districts, and one U.S. Senate seat. Also on the ballot, all 49 legislative districts in Washington will be electing representatives for the state House of Represen- tatives, and multiple districts will be electing representatives to the state Senate. There are 230 candidates statewide running for seats in Olympia. But despite all these races, a recent Thunderword survey showed that many Highline students are unaware of either the election or the candidates on the ballot. Because legislative and congressional races are more com- mon and more localized, they often receive less attention than presidential or governor’s races. Many people choose not to vote in these elections because they don’t feel that electing legislators Not everything has to be protested matters as much as electing a president.

Introduce kids to pumpkins and you’ve got an instant love affair t happens every year like clockwork; you can mark your autumnal equinox by it. Days shorten. Leaves turn crimson and gold. Pumpkins ripen andI kids fall in love with giant vegetables. They laugh. They giggle. And their dreams fill of jack-o-lanterns, trick-or-treating and fun in the fading sun. It’s a phenomenon local produce growers Carpinito Brothers has capitalized on for several years now with its Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze at 27508 West Valley Highway North in Kent. Beginning in late September and running until Halloween, the site offers kids young and old a chance to romp through more than 20 acres of pumpkins, navigate a massive corn maze and visit barnyard babies. Pumpkin Patch hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., while both the Corn Maze and Farm Fun Yard are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
