Marysville Parks and Recreation held our free Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 7. We are so pleased with the sponsorship and volunteerism from our community.
As the current cross country season for Arlington High School comes to a close, we would like to express our appreciation and respect for the coaches of the team. As parents, we have been involved with the cross-country team for the past six years. Both of our daughters have run for the team. The coaches instill a sense of camaraderie, dedication, fun and self-discipline that gives the students the drive to run farther than they ever thought they could and the motivation to continue pushing themselves. Weve seen these attributes spill into other areas of our daughters lives, such as academics, tennis, track and helping others.
The headlines shout the real story. Sony leads solar-cell production; Toyota number one in world car sales; environmentally based new jobs in Germany top 170,000; thousands of Chinese produced CFLs saving money for American households; Germany leading the world in wind power production; California takes strong action to cut carbon dioxide emission.

When my husband and I moved to Arlington 11 years ago, we were drawn by the small town atmosphere and strong community feel.
Welcome to the neighborhood
In a recent Questions and Answer letter, David Meyering requested certain information of Cascade Valley Hospital.
The North County Branch Board of Housing Hope would like to thank those who attended the agencys Community of Hope Dinner on March 15 at the Hawthorn Inn & Suites in Smokey Point. The event was well attended and the financial contributions made were very generous. The evening was graciously underwritten by the event sponsors which included: Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, Northwest Plus Credit Union, North County Bank, Lenz Enterprises, Metron & Associates and Cuz Concrete Products, Inc. All proceeds from the event will help to renew hope for vulnerable families in the North County region of Snohomish County. Again, thank you. We hope to see you again next year.
Girl Scouts Totem Council in Snohomish County would like to publicly thank the 1,000 plus Girl Scout volunteers who give their time and talents to support girls in the 10 service areas in Snohomish County. Without volunteers, the 3,350 girl scouts in Snohomish County would not be getting the outstanding programs that the volunteers provide through the many activities they do with our girls. These activities include such things as outdoor cooking, exploring math and science, entrepreneur opportunities and of course community service and crafts.
As the Commissioners of Snohomish County Hospital District No. 3, we have been elected by the residents of the hospital district to guide the actions of Cascade Valley Hospital.
One of the primary purposes of our public schools is to help every child become an engaged citizen who is willing and able to actively participate in our democracy. A high school diploma is our seal of approval that a young person has demonstrated their readiness for this responsibility. There are many ways to measure this readiness. It undermines the core values of democracy to use a single test to deny this right-of-passage to students because of their minority or socioeconomic status. This is effectively what a high-stakes WASL does.
We have been operating a business in Arlington since 1986. This community has been a large part of our success and in turn we want to support our community in passing Proposition 1 on the May 15 ballot to upgrade and improve Cascade Valley Hospital.
