In an era of depleting natural resources and energy supplies, the world has finally begun to look to other sources to provide our booming population with its power needs. Candidates for the next main power source are mostly environmentally based, such as tidal, solar and wind power. Another prospective source comes from nuclear energy; strong and mighty. Nuclear energy, aside from being able to provide a large quantity of power for our disposal, is too unstable and harmful to be used with minimal damage to the environment and to the human race.
“In your article about the person in Port Angeles who had received medals and benefits not awarded, it seemed the fellow did receive a proper sentence,” writes Dennis Wojciak of Marysville.
With the high price of gas, many families might be thinking twice about driving down to one of the large Fourth of July celebrations and fireworks displays in the Seattle area. But not to worry, they don’t have to as they have a great Fourth of July Celebration in their own back yards.
“There oughta be a law ….”
So say critics of Marysville’s schools. A law to make kids behave. A law requiring kids to do their homework. A law prohibiting gang activity. A law against graffiti. A law that orders teachers to make kids behave. Laws to penalize whoever doesn’t obey all the laws.
I want to thank the Marysville Police Department, Marysville Fire District and the Arlington Fire Department who all provided some very important information this week regarding fireworks safety and the enforcement of the new fireworks law in Marysville. It’s valuable information to have to help the people in our communities ensure they have a fun, and safe, Fourth of July holiday.
This is what I get for “taking over” management of the checkbook from my wife.
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.
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.

It is often said that children are our future, and looking at the students in the Class of 2008 graduating from local high schools, our future looks very bright.
For the past two years, whenever we filled out a reflection sheet for a portfolio entry, we were asked the same question: where are we going? For some of us, thinking about the future was stressful. There were so many choices to make and so many options to choose from.
I’m not sure if any of us have quite realized this, but today we graduate. Today we stroll into a world we know relatively nothing about.
I was stunned. I read it again. Sure enough, there in the How Your U.S. Lawmaker Voted report put out by Roll Call to the media was a listing of the vote in the third week of May on the 2009 military budget. I had quickly scanned the first part. “By a vote of 384-23, the House on Thursday authorized a $601 billion military budget for fiscal 2009, including $70 billion to fund war in Iraq and Afghanistan for part of the year.”
