Its really interesting to see what government says and what it really does. Believe it or not, the two arent always the same. Lets forget, for the moment, things at the federal level. Instead lets concentrate on the local scene.
I recently found myself out of work. The falling real-estate market has caused the construction company I work(ed) for to discontinue building until the market demand increases.
It was with great interest that I read your 25 years ago 1983 entry in the Jan. 16 edition of The Globe. I would like to share the rest of the story.
On behalf of the Marysville Community Food Bank, I want to thank all those caring and generous people in the Marysville area who contributed so generously to meet out needs for food boxes during the holiday season.
I am writing to give your some information regarding our club, Old Bags Of Arlington.
Nearly a year ago, I presented Beach Street Safety Petition on behalf of 51 residents from Beach Avenue and Grove Street. On April 2, 2006, a moving car hit a young boy in the 1200 block of Beach Avenue. A helicopter airlifted him to Harborview Trauma Center. The petition requested several safety enhancements to Beach Avenue, such as signs, caution lights and possibly speed bumps.
What does it take for all of you to drive a little safer and be more careful on the roadways? Ive been training entry-level truck drivers for almost 21 years and am concerned about how you, the motoring public, operate your vehicles. You see the large yellow Caution: Student Driver signs on the back of the trailers announcing to the motoring public that a rookie or novice driver is at the controls of the vehicle directly in front of them. We have taken the precautions to warn the public of the dangers, but the sad part of the overall story is that no one seems to care about safety anymore.
The volunteers at the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum in Arlington received a grant from the Stillaguamish Tribe to help purchase a carved cedar map of the watershed through the Stillaguamish Valley. We want to thank the Tribe for its generosity in contributing dollars for a 7-foot by 12-foot carving.
Heartfelt thanks from the members of the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Association to everyone who participated and attended the 10-year Anniversary of the Pioneer Museum, Saturday, March 10. We could not have accomplished what we did without the help from the community as a whole (private citizens and organizations alike).
Smokey Point equals the new destination for the Husky Challenge.
As we face the 2008 legislative session here in Washington state, Im worried.
In an emergency, every second counts. The Marysville Fire District needs additional resources to build and staff an additional fire station and transition from a part-paid department to a fully staffed department with fulltime firefighters.
