The Enterprise discusses New Dollar Americans or new collars, a 15 percent voting bloc under 45 shaping the service economy. They value self expression, resist rigid labels, and are extrapartisan and volatile in ideology. They voted for Reagan in 1984 and remain open, unseen by major institutions.
In support of a child abuse law, legislators consider restricting parental discipline to a single slap on the buttocks. The piece argues children’s rights require protection, condemns beating or torture, and urges defining allowable conduct while outlawing harsher punishment. It cites misuses of “discipline” and references a book on alternatives.
Community leaders urge Edmonds residents to approve February 1986 school bonds. They warn roofs leak grounds unsafe and equipment outdated with overcrowded classes. Emphasizing local tax investment, they call for renewed funding to modernize facilities, expand staffing, and sustain quality education.
Edmonds residents praise College Place Middle School for a high level winter concert. Jeff Sizer directed two large band groups while smaller orchestra and choir offered creative performances. The writer commends students discipline, professionalism, and the staff led by Steve Young and Ann Foley.
A reader urges action on tax reform and calls for writing Senators Daniel Evans and Slade Gorton. He notes voter interest in lower taxes and corporate fairness, criticizes special interest messaging, and provides the Seattle mailing address 915 2nd Ave for correspondence from Johny Petrocelli in Lynnwood.
A Snohomish County reader questions why surrounding homeowners did not receive copies of proposed 164th and 180th plan changes. The letter raises traffic, pollution, lighting, and environmental impact worries tied to relocating Cascadian Way, East Shore Drive, and potential links to 5th Avenue West and 6th Avenue, and asks which planning document is correct between conflicting drafts.
