The the letter criticizing the VRFA purchase of a ladder truck (Jeanne Herold, Auburn Reporter, July 9) needs a response.
I applaud your “Why small business matters in Auburn” editorial (July 9). As your columnist reminds us, over the past decade small businesses have created 70 percent of all of new jobs.
At the main Auburn Post Office, while exiting, there is a “no left turn” sign, which many people ignore.
Much as Mr. Riedel applauded the City of Auburn (“Taking issue with all the buzz,” Auburn Reporter, June 25 letter to the editor), I applaud him. I, too, have wondered about the intelligence of a helicopter training flight plan that regularly goes over residential areas (like my apartment on the east side), over business areas (like my workplace – north side), the high school (Auburn), and seems to follow the valley highways.
About 4 p.m. Monday, I drove to Cedar Lanes Park in South Auburn to walk our miniature pinscher. Pulling into…
I am amazed that no other person within the Valley Regional Fire Authority’s jurisdiction has written in with a comment regarding the purchase of a $1.2 million ladder truck.
Special kudos to the City of Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department for its KidsDay program held last Friday. Despite…
I would like to add my voice to William Riedel’s letter to the editor (June 18, “Taking issue with all…
I applaud the City of Auburn for improving one aspect of quality of life for citizens living in the older neighborhoods by coming up with a solution to noise, traffic and safety issues relating to rail traffic through Auburn, namely the M Street grade separation project. It is unfortunate that some residences will be displaced as a result of right-of-way acquisition required.
June 14 was Flag Day. A quick explanation about the day’s observance comes from Wikipedia: “The week of June 14…
Thanks for your recent article on graffiti. As a longtime resident of the Lea Hill area, the graffiti problem has escalated to the point that I want out of the area.
King County and the Board of Health have more than doubled the fees charged local service clubs for charitable fundraising events. Community service clubs (Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, etc.) that strive to improve the welfare of their communities by selling breakfasts or other food offerings are severely penalized by these fees.
Have you ever been to a hot rod show, a diner where the waiter is on skates, or dropped a nickel in a shiney jukebox just to see if it’s real? Then you are one of the millions of people who are drawn to the nostalgic things of yesteryear.
With regard to the letter from Kim Hesseltine (April 30, Auburn Reporter) about the closing of the Auburn QFC store, I agree completely it was a sad ending to a store desperately needed in our area.
In the May 5 Auburn Reporter, Harold Valentine wrote an article about Juan Huseby. In that article he says that Juan never married.
After I retired from teaching in the Auburn School District, I found myself reflecting on the happenings during the 30 years I taught in the district. This generally involves the people I worked with over those years.
Regarding your story, “Hard times bring sudden closure to South Auburn QFC” (April 9, Auburn Reporter), that doesn’t sound anything like the true story why the store closed.
So health care insurance reform being challenged is all about the constitutionality of it? That is a bunch of baloney. This is nothing more than a political ploy by the Republicans to again thwart the will of the people to get meaningful reform of a failed-for-profit system.
I would like to sincerely thank City Councilmember Virginia Haugen for her interest in the letter I wrote to the Auburn Reporter (“The day the music stopped,” April 2). It is rare to find a public servant who takes the time to read and address the issues her constituency cares about. She should be commended for this.
