A trial is scheduled at 9 a.m. tomorrow in the challenge of Ronnie Allen Warren's candidacy. Former Tacoma City Council Donald Powell is questioning whether Warren actually lives within the boundaries of the Tacoma council district he seeks to represent. Previous coverage here.

But Powell isn't sure what will happen. The sheriff's department couldn't find Warren to serve him with papers. A deputy tried and failed to find him at the apartment on South 13th Street where Warren told The News Tribune he's lived for the last six months, according to the sheriff's return of service. The deputy didn't have time to look for Warren at the house on South Fawcett Avenue where Powell suspects Warren has been staying, the document states.

There was trouble with subpoenas for two other parties, too. A lawyer for the U.S. Postal Service told Powell he should have served a subpoena to the Station Master, not the Postmaster, to testify regarding the address Warren used to obtain his post office box. And the sheriff's department wouldn't serve papers to Qwest because their corporate registered agent is located in Thurston County. Powell wants phone company records showing a physical address associated with Warren's telephone number.

UPDATE: Warren will remain a candidate on the Nov. 6 ballot. Judge Lisa Worswick ruled this morning that Powell's challenge came too late. Check out the story here.

There are two events coming up for voters in the Federal Way and Puyallup areas. Here’s what you need to know:

FEDERAL WAY: A rally and candidate forum will be held Thursday.

The rally will be held to support the constitutional measure on the Nov. 6 ballot that would reduce the number of “yes” votes required to approve a school levy from 60 percent to a simple majority. The rally will begin at 6:15 p.m. and will be attended by local legislators, the head of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce and the superintendent of Federal Way schools.

The rally will be followed at 6:45 p.m. by a forum for Federal Way school board candidates.

The events will be held in Decatur High School’s Performing Arts Center, 2800 SW 320th St.

The events are scheduled to end at 8:30 p.m. Both are sponsored by Citizens for Federal Way Schools, a group that campaigns for local levies and bonds. More information is available at www.yesforfwschools.org.

PUYALLUP: Candidates for the Puyallup City Council, Puyallup School District and the Port of Tacoma commission are scheduled to participate in a candidate forum on Oct. 15.

The event will be held at 7 p.m. in the Puyallup Public Library.

The forum will be hosted by the 25th District Republican Club in lieu of its regular monthly meeting.

They made the decision in March, well before he was arrested in a Minnesota airport men's room. But that doesn't mean there aren't some red faces now that U.S. Sen. Larry Craig has agreed to accept his induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame at a ceremony this Saturday.

Here is Spokesman-Review reporter Meghann M. Cuniff's article:

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig plans to attend an Oct. 13 ceremony in Boise at which he and 11 other Idaho residents will be inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame.

The nonprofit organization that maintains the hall of fame picked Craig in March, months before the Republican senator's well-publicized arrest and guilty plea to disorderly conduct, stemming from a sex-solicitation sting in an airport men's bathroom.

"Larry Craig has made a great contribution to Idaho over the period of 20-some years," said Harry Magnuson, a Wallace businessman and board director for the hall of fame. "At the time it was considered, this other matter had not come up."

But some local Republicans say the honor is inappropriate in light of Craig’s June 11 arrest by an undercover police officer in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

"They ought to change their minds, whoever they are," Duane Rasmussen, president of the North Idaho Pachyderm Club, said about the hall of fame induction. "Sen. Larry Craig is an embarrassment to all of Idaho, and he needs to resign from office."

About 100 people were inducted from 1995 to 2002, including Chief Joseph, Coeur d'Alene writer and historian Louise Shadduck, World War II fighter ace Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, and local hospitality magnates Duane Hagadone and Bob Templin.

Gov. Butch Otter, Lt. Gov. Jim Risch, Boise State University football coach Chris Petersen, and John Grossenbacher, director of the Idaho National Laboratory nuclear and energy research center, are among those to be inducted alongside Craig.
