It is with much gratitude and excitement that I write this letter, thanking the Arlington School Board, Arlington Education Foundation and especially the Arts Alive! Committee for their dedication, perseverance, hard work and countless hours given toward making the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center a reality.
There are people in our community who serve us and they cannot be thanked enough. I am speaking of the owners or our Arlington Health Foods, Inc. They are on 317 N. Olympic Avenue. Roger and Claire know whats what for our good health and when you read of some new exotic discovery from Jonathan Wright you rush down to order it and they already have it. They have aided in my good health and the good health of so many more. Here is a toast to their continued business a berry juice cocktail all organic of course.
In November, Snohomish County voters will be asked to fund Edmonds Crossing, a proposed new ferry terminal, that is on the Regional Transportation Investment Districts (RTID list of road projects. The cost will be $157million: $127 million from RTID and $30 million from Sound Transit.
The streets of Arlington will never to the same.
The large number of people in prison and the huge costs to society, both financially and socially, should be enough to not only justify but mandate serious criminal justice reform.
Arlington Dollars for Scholars Foundation would like to thank the Arlington Runners Club and their sponsors for donating the proceeds from their fun run in Glen Eagle Saturday, June 9, to ADFSF. Other supporters of ADFSF for this run were Action Sports, Arlington Pharmacy, Carl Tosten, Denton Massage and Wellness Clinic, Electric Beach, Favorite Pastimes, Flowers by George, Frontier Bank and the Village Restaurant. Each donated items to be used for prizes for the runners. I am pleased and proud of being part of Arlington and the way it supports ADFSF and in this case the youth and their future. Thank you from the Officers and Board of ADFSF and next years recipient of this scholarship.
Times needs balance
I just wanted to express my thanks to all of the hard working employees of Parks and Recreation as well as the many volunteers who made the All-Comers Track meet such a success. It is not easy to coordinate such an event and I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate the opportunity to participate in and watch such a wholesome activity
It is with a heavy heart and an aching back that I have retired form the SVC Truck Driver Training Program as of July 14. I started there in 1986 and I’m asking myself, where have the years gone. I cannot thank those individuals and trucking firms enough that have given their support, their time and their equipment donations to the program.
In a July 18,2008, statement, a Ben-Gurion University historian named Benny Morris predicted that Israel will attack Iran to take out its nuclear sites “in the next four to seven months.” His view is generally accepted by most Israelis. Remember that the generation ruling Israel now are the children and grandchildren of people who faced the holocaust — and they won’t let that happen again.
Last Thursday, I went to Everett Public library for a book singing by J.A. Jance. I parked in the lot on the corner of Everett Avenue and Rucker, designated for library patrons. Approximately 45 minutes later, I returned to my vehicle and discovered the catalytic converter had been cut off my truck, a 1993 Toyota. I expect a part of my sense of safety was the beautiful day, the open, designated parking lot and the age of my “old girl.”
