Exactly what would you fine folks who are so quick to judge have the Corrections Department do? You yelled when they let them go and you yell when they try to keep them in. Make up your minds and quit yelling.
You may have seen recent TV or newspaper stories regarding a series of odor complaints in the Marysville area. As a business in the North Sound since 2004, Cedar Grove takes pride in being a good North Sound neighbor and business. I want to let you know that we take this issue very seriously.
I must question our Marysville city ordinance regarding illegal fireworks. If a law is not enforced, in peoples’ minds it ceases to be a law.
On behalf of the Marysville Strawberry Festival, I would like to thank all of our sponsors, volunteers and everyone that attended for making “Wish Upon a Berry” a huge success. Without the support of the community the festival wouldn’t be what it is today. So, thank you.
North County Firefighters currently have the privilege of providing emergency medical services to the residents of North County Regional Fire Authority. Some of the communities who we serve are Bryant, Freeborn, Warm Beach, Kayak, Lake Ketchum, Sunday Lake, Lake Armstrong, Kackman, Mckee’s Beach and Grandview just to list a few. This service continually has to expand to help meet the demand due to population growth.
The Arlington Fire Department Women’s Auxiliary would like to thank all the kids who endured the heat and participated in the 2008 Arlington Kiddies Parade. It’s fun to see the creativity that kids and parents put into it and making this event so special. Our gratitude to those who showed up to watch the event, a parade isn’t complete without a crowd to cheer you on.
How many folks realize that we are in the middle of a crisis over how we respond to crime? At more than 2.3 million Americans incarcerated, the prison population has quadrupled in the past 20 years. The building of prisons and the maintaining them is our fastest growing industry. This certainly lends credence to the old adage “build them and they will come.”
Absolutely unfair is the sentence that non-violent “3-Strikers” are serving in prison after harming no one. There is no equal justice under this law. We have those spending their entire lives in expensive prisons who do not deserve this harsh punishment given the heinous crimes those who really do deserve it commit.
The rising gas prices, the failing economy. When will the media learn? In my opinion it is not that we are in a bad economy. No, I believe that the media is much at fault for our nation’s current rising costs and foreclosures.
I would like to thank the gentleman I met at the cemetery where my son, Shane, is buried.
I’ve been a resident of Marysville for nine years and every year around July 4 they put up fireworks stands and sell them and how many kids are going to have their hands blown off or faces disfigured. I had a confrontation in the parking lot of Haggen ’s when I saw them unloading boxes of fireworks. I confronted the man who then called police. I waited for the police to come and he warned me if I harass anyone else I’ll go to jail.
Thank you, thank you, to the many businesses in the Smokey Point, Arlington, Marysville and Everett areas who so generously donated cash, prizes and merchandise for the Lakewood Class of 2008 Graduation Night Party.
A recent action by the Marysville School Board approved a settlement with an elementary school leader in the district who resigned after reaching agreement with the district that will pay her more than $175,000. An investigation instigated by the district, conducted by Terry Brandon could find that allegations against principal Jane Colson could not be substantiated.
