With the close of another very successful Strawberry Festival week, the Marysville Police Department is preparing for the next “hot” topic on its agenda; the Fourth of July and fireworks.
I have been made aware of the fact that the Constitution and Bill of Rights mean very little without the Declaration of Independence. The purpose of the government that our forefathers created is to protect those God-given rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
We became residents of this community about three years ago, when we purchased property between Darrington and Arlington. This area was chosen because of the cool, quiet atmosphere and the beauty of the mountains. Along with this we found the small towns in this area contained about all the needs any family would have. What a change of pace and lifestyle that we had become accustomed to in the city, with the large department stores, shopping malls and discount centers.
Is summer here? Well it will soon start to heat up and before long the July 4 Holiday will be upon us and fireworks will soon go on sale. So it seems appropriate for us to make sure that all citizens enjoy a safe July 4.

Arlington stone sculptor, Verena Schwippert’s large work, “Water, Precious Water,” is one of 39 pieces in the city of Bellevue’s ninth biennial sculpture exhibit, “Sculpted Green.” The outdoor exhibit is located in and around Bellevue’s City Hall and downtown park.

A resident of Silvana and partner in her husband’s insurance office, Carey Waterworth created the picture that is on the cover of the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce’s new telephone directory which was distributed last week. Waterworth responded to the chamber’s call, last winter, for art that celebrates the commerce of this region. After contemplating the options, Waterworth painted a colorful portrait of a farmer’s market vendor with Three Fingers Mountain and a classic barn in the background.

MARYSVILLE — Riding an over-sized Trike around an oval track in an effort to get the best time is not an easy task. Throw in obstacles like the Poo Pit, the Jello-O Pit, the Croc Walk and the Roy Robinson Chevrolet NASCAR Corner and it can be downright challenging.
