Praise all around to the entire Marysville and Tulalip communities for their response after the terrible shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. We pray that supporting each other during this time of grief brings us even closer together. Life is too short. The memorial on the fence, the red bows around town, the vigils, the fund-raisers, all helped in the healing process.
Special praise to representatives of Red Lake, Minn., and Newtown, Conn., for their support after the shooting.
Praise for the M-PHS drama club for taking the violence out of their play, “The Twilight Zone.” That shows a lot of sensitivity to what’s going on in our community.
Raze to those who tried to use the shooting for their personal agendas right after the event. Have some compassion for the victims. Geez.
Praise to Oak Harbor’s football team for giving M-P the first-place finish, and to the Tomahawks in turn for giving the actually trophy to Oak Harbor. That is true sportsmanship at its best. We hope both teams advance at state so we can eventually play each other on the field, too.Praise to Caldie Rogers for 22 years of service to the Marysville community. She is a leader who will be truly missed.
Praise to our veterans. Freedom isn’t free. A strong military is needed to keep us free, unfortunately, in this world.
Raze to the Marysville couple for allegedly molesting their 6-year-old child and allowing others to do the same. That’s worse than a raze, that’s disgusting.
Praise to all of those who voted in the Nov. 4 general election.
Raze to all of those who didn’t.
Raze to the local family suing the county over road conditions. While our hearts go out to the victims of the accident, all roads can’t be flat, straight and dry. Personal accountability requires people to drive safely, according to the conditions of the road.
Praise to the Tulalip Tribes for awarding $6.7 million to 312 nonprofit and community groups statewide.
Praise to all of those who already have donated for the All City Food Drive and to those who will in the upcoming weeks.
Praise to all of those who supported Pregnancy Aid and the Soroptimists in their recent auctions that raised money for important local causes.
Raze to the local car repair shop who wanted to charge almost double of what the Tall and Small shop charged for a timing belt replacement.
Praise to the Arlington Kiwanis and library for giving dictionaries to students. What a great tradition for learning.
Praise to Richard “Dick” Linn Post for all of his years of service to Arlington.
