Four hefty scholarships are available to Edmonds School District seniors, thanks to a grant from the Hazel Miller Foundation.

The foundation awarded $30,000 to the Edmonds School District Alumni Association to be used for scholarships for students graduating from any of the Edmonds School District high schools in June.

There are two $2,000 scholarships for a male and female at each of the five district high schools and two $5,000 scholarships for a male and a female from any one of the high schools. Application forms will be in the high schools by Feb. 1 and are due by April 10.

An additional grant of $1,700 was also given by the Foundation to assist the Alumni Association with the mailing of one of its two newsletters this year.

Gold Bar: Council seeks more help

Gold Bar has asked the Snohomish County Council for help filling a City Council vacancy -- for the second time in less than a year.

This time, it's for a position former City Councilman Chris Wright resigned from in September.

The County Council in June appointed Elizabeth LaZella to a separate council vacancy on Gold Bar's City Council, which has five positions.

The appointee will serve out Wright's term, which would have expired at the end of this year. To qualify, a person must have lived within Gold Bar city limits for at least a year and be a registered voter. The deadline to apply is Feb. 15, close of business.
