The Arlington Fire Department Women’s Auxiliary would like to thank all the kids who endured the heat and participated in the 2008 Arlington Kiddies Parade. It’s fun to see the creativity that kids and parents put into it and making this event so special. Our gratitude to those who showed up to watch the event, a parade isn’t complete without a crowd to cheer you on.
How many folks realize that we are in the middle of a crisis over how we respond to crime? At more than 2.3 million Americans incarcerated, the prison population has quadrupled in the past 20 years. The building of prisons and the maintaining them is our fastest growing industry. This certainly lends credence to the old adage “build them and they will come.”
Absolutely unfair is the sentence that non-violent “3-Strikers” are serving in prison after harming no one. There is no equal justice under this law. We have those spending their entire lives in expensive prisons who do not deserve this harsh punishment given the heinous crimes those who really do deserve it commit.
I’m looking for 100 reasons to celebrate the Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber marks its 100-year anniversary in 2008 and this calls for a celebration.
In an era of depleting natural resources and energy supplies, the world has finally begun to look to other sources to provide our booming population with its power needs. Candidates for the next main power source are mostly environmentally based, such as tidal, solar and wind power. Another prospective source comes from nuclear energy; strong and mighty. Nuclear energy, aside from being able to provide a large quantity of power for our disposal, is too unstable and harmful to be used with minimal damage to the environment and to the human race.

There is something about birds that completes the gardening experience. And there are several things we all can do as gardeners to encourage birds to visit our yards.
