I have just finished reading another article written by your columnist Judy Halone and wanted to thank you for having her write for you. I always enjoy reading her touching articles. This week’s was about her mother having Alzheimer’s and it truly touched my heart. I had a grandma with Alzheimer’s also and felt a lot of those same emotions.
Just wanted Judy to know that she is appreciated and I look forward weekly to reading her column. She has made me laugh with her looks back to her childhood school days or her stories of her family. I hope she continues the column, because it is my favorite part of your newspaper.

Too often the dedicated service of our public officials goes unnoticed. As the new school year begins, I would like to thank Representative Glenn Anderson for his tireless service to ensure WA children receive a world-class education.
Rep. Anderson is a well respected education leader in the Legislature and after working with him to improve math, I know why. Two years ago when parents became alarmed about the ineffective math programs in our schools, Rep. Anderson listened. In fact, not only did he listen, but was the first legislator to take action. He wrote an initiative that led to a statewide bi-partisan coalition resulting in a comprehensive rewrite of WA math and science standards to bring them up to world-class standards. And he’s still working diligently to make sure that effort bears fruit in the classroom.
Glenn’s expertise in education issues provides critical guidance to other policy makers in Olympia as they develop solutions. We in the 5th District are fortunate to have such a committed advocate for our children in the State Legislature.
