PAC Arlington
Aug 28 2008, 5:42 PM I don't know who Steve Stav is, or more specifically if he has a personal vendetta against Cindy Huleatt, the theater manager of the Byrnes Performing Arts Center.

I do know that in our family, we do as our parents taught us which is to roll up our sleeves and pitch in when we see something in our community that needs improving. When I was considering a move here, 15 years ago, I discussed my concerns with living in Arlington with a colleague who was raised here. I wasn't sure about the culture of the town or the emphasis on sports rather than art. She looked straight at me and said, "But you could make it better." That's all it took. We moved here shortly after.

Build a resource Arlington
Aug 28 2008, 5:42 PM We have the opportunity to build a resource for our children, our parents, ourselves. I'm talking about the request to build a new public library one that will provide enough space for fun, educational programs; more room for computers so that students can do their homework; more space for books, magazines, videos and CDs, and more reference materials (yes, there are still many of us who prefer to actually hold a book in our hands when we're looking for answers or to copy a pattern or recipe from a book rather than spending time on line).

Thank you foster parents Marysville
Aug 28 2008, 5:41 PM May is National Foster Care Month, and I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all foster parents for all the work they do caring for foster children. By opening their home and heart, they play a vital roll in the child's healing.

Foster Parent's commitment leaves a mark on generations to come. Foster Parents are helping to break cycles of neglect, abuse and help a child to be the first in the family to finish high school and even go to college. All the children leave your home knowing there are many other paths in life.

Times needs balance Arlington
Aug 28 2008, 5:41 PM The political views repeatedly expressed by your regular columnist Adele Ferguson, while welcome, are arguably not shared by at least half of your readership. Would it not be fair that her column space be equally shard by someone with an opposing viewpoint? In this critical election year, it is we the people who must make an informed decision about who will best work for us in these difficult times we face as a nation. Being subjected to only one biased viewpoint from an obvious fig-leaf partisan hack does not serve the best interest of our democracy. Please, let's have a more open dialogue of the issues. After all, we have nothing to lose but our democracy itself.

Knowledge is power Arlington
Aug 27 2008, 8:17 PM I think there should be a new library in Arlington because our town has grown and the facility we now have is to small for the size of the community. We need to promote reading because that is a gift that everyone should have in their life.

Baseball's win caps busy week.
As junior first baseman Jon Van Eyk walks in toward home plate from his three-run homer, the Eagles, led by pitcher Justin Surber, congratulate their teammate. At Everett Lincoln Field Arlington 3 0 0 3 0 0 0 6 Everett 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 4 - DANIELLE SZULCZEWSKI The Arlington Times Aug 28 2008, 5:21 PM EVERETT Already leading by three runs in the bottom of the first inning, an Arlington assistant coach reminded the light-hearted dugout throughout the early innings, "Hey, we haven't done anything yet."

"It's just kind of a mantra, when we get up early, we want to keep the pressure on," Arlington coach Doug Plucker explained after his Eagle baseball team beat Everett 6-4 to go 1-0 in the first of half of the schools' two-game series.

Pressure was the name of the Arlington game, with their two biggest hits coming in two-out situations.
