Im writing on behalf of the Arlington Professional Firefighters Local 3728. We are publicly endorsing Barbara Tolbert for the Arlington City Council. Barbara contacted us a few months ago asking if she could attend our union meeting. We were honored that a candidate for City Council would ask to attend our meeting.
The members of the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society would like to thank the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians for the generous grant we received from them in January. Since our Society is non-profit, the Tribes financial assistance is greatly appreciated.
It was gratifying to see the plight of the widows in Burundi and how members of Curves in Arlington were able to provide housing for the widow Asenata. But the rest of the story is even more exciting. By the time we were done with our Christmas campaign, most of the club membership had contributed to the purchase of two homes and two individual members had purchased houses all by themselves. This totaled four homes built and two widows supported and all funds went directly to the widows, with nothing withheld for administration costs.
Trapped on a ledge 65 feet down a cliff face, above a sheer 100-foot drop to the river would be a terrible way to die. Especially in the rain, in the dark.
My family and I have been residents of Arlington since 1975. When we have used the ER at Cascade Valley Hospital we have had positive experiences.
I recently visited Arlington, where I lived until I graduated from high school in 1968, for the first time in over 10 years. Having lived in Southern California for almost 40 years, my vision of future retirement has been that of living at least part of the year in the small town atmosphere coupled with above average infrastructure that Arlington provides.
In 1987, Cascade Valley Hospital completed a major expansion. That year about 5,600 patients were treated in the new Emergency Department. Last year the same facility saw nearly 22,000 patients. In 1987 the population of Arlington was 3,500. Today it is 15,000, and expected to double by the year 2025.
As a commissioners wife at District 14, I would like to bring to everyones attention the Fire Districts Proposition 1, which is to be voted on May 15.
Operation Marysville Community Christmas would like to thank the community for their support during our All-City Food Drive on Nov. 4, 2006. With the support of Albertsons South, Albertsons North, Big K-Mart, Grocery Outlet, Safeway and Thriftway as well as help from the Kiwanis, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Lions Club, Marysville Soroptimist, NJROTC, M-PHS Leadership Club, Marysville Fire Department and many others we were able to collect 4,830 pounds of food and $1,438.53 in cash and meat certificates, as well as a few toys for Christmas.
The picture of former Mayor Dave Weiser on the front page of last weeks edition is clearly an insult to all those who know him. Dave is a kind, decent and respected person who deserves better than this kind of trash. He did a large number of positive things for Marysville when he was mayor.
In November 2007 Snohomish County residents will be asked to tax themselves to fund over a billion dollars for county road and transit projects. Voters should be careful about approving such a measure, as it appears the proposed projects are an extravagant wish list.
I recently returned from a tour of India. The tour group was composed mostly of elite academia, totaling 14. They were extreme liberals who never stopped condemning America. For example: President Bush is a war criminal and should be put to death, or President Bush wants to destroy Social Security and starve the old people. They blamed America first, America was always wrong.
We would like to express appreciation to all of the sponsors who made the holiday season brighter for the children we serve in our Therapeutic Foster Care Program at Compass Health. We were so touched by the outpouring of support from the community.
