Paul Johns, who is Asst. Dir. of Community Outreach is such a good role model for our Yakima County students and I'm pleased to hear that the group will offer a football clinic. Paul Johns is a real class act, not only as a prior member of the Seattle Seahawks but his ability to motivate & encourage others. Good Luck to all.

I want to Thank You for the great article about the Seahawks and the City joining forces to install this wonderful playground equipment. However, I do want to point out that the Seahawks did not donate $50,000.00, it was a team effort and the City of Toppenish donated $25,000.00 towards this equipment. I know that most of the time you hear negative things about the paper and the stories that are not published, but I want to again say Thanks for this positive story on the City of Toppenish.
