You may have noticed that garbage and yard waste was not picked-up this morning. If you have been following the news you are probably aware of the Waste Management strike and as of now there has been no resolution of the strike. According to all information out there, we will be able to put out all trash, recycling, and yard waste that has accumulated during the strike once pick-up resumes. For more information, read this article from the Kiro 7 News website.

ROMEO this Week: Lucy
ROMEO will meet on Wednesday, August 1, at the clubhouse at 10:00 AM.
This week's topic:
Lucy - is this fossil evidence for the evolution of man?
Ever since Darwin published "The Origin of Species" in 1859,
paleontologists have been searching for evidence that man evolved
from an ape-like creature. The first serious fossil proposed as an
intermediate link was Neanderthal in 1856. A more recent one is Lucy
found in 1974. Heinz Lycklama has examined the evidence for half a
dozen proposed intermediate links over the years.
Dr. David Menton, with a PhD in Biology and experience in anatomy
at Washington University School of Medicine, has analyzed the
evidence for Lucy as an intermediate link in much detail. His analysis
of the well-known Lucy fossil is covered on a DVD that we will watch.

Arlington’s ROMEOs know what and wherefore
Retired Old Men Eating Out look forward to their weekly meetings with special guests at the Glen Eagle country club in Arlington.
ARLINGTON -- Call them the ROMEOs. Retired Old Men Eating Out, that is.
A group of about 25 older gentlemen who live in the Glen Eagle development of Arlington meet at 10 a.m. each Wednesday at their country club to expand their minds, sip coffee, share a meal and offer encouragement to each other.
"We're not just bunch of old fogeys sitting around shooting the bull," member Don Williamson said. "We keep tabs on each other and have a meaningful weekly program that we all look forward to."
The men range in age primarily from mid-60s to late 80s. They are retired businessmen, teachers, Boeing engineers and scientists, and generally are just a bunch of guys with a variety of interests. For example, Williamson, one of the ROMEO program coordinators, recently offered a wine tasting for the group.
This week, the group heard an hour-long presentation from Bill Blake, the city of Arlington's natural resource and stormwater wetlands manager. Blake offered a rundown on all of the city's current activities, including road work, economic development and the construction of campsites by Boy Scouts at the new Country Charm park on the north end of town. As he spoke, his audience casually asked questions.
"We like having Bill come in," Williamson said. "He grew up in Arlington and he can put a lot of things into context for us."
Previous programs have included a visit by county Sheriff John Lovick. In June, history buff Frank Barden presented a program on mysterious crop circles in England. Mayor Barbara Tolbert talked about her first six months in office. Retired physicist Heinz Lyklama offered a presentation about stem cells and cloning. Carson Tavenner, 43, the group's youngest member and a recently retired Air Force officer, talked about China-U.S. relations.
The ROMEOs also are in charge of the night security patrol through their neighborhood and a handful of them volunteer throughout the school year at nearby Pioneer Elementary School to help students with their math and reading projects.
"We like to keep busy," Williamson said.
