RAINING ON THEIR PARADEThe students’ march in Lynden recently was

heartening, and a bit disappointing.Heartening, because we saw young people,

residents and students of Lynden take their future into their own hands and voice their hopes about how they want that future to look. Disappointing, because we saw opposition to that effort by other citizens of Lynden who thought it necessary to bring guns and wartime paraphernalia, and try to insist that these young people were wrong about the world they want for their future—a future without institutionalized racism, where an equal chance is truly given to each and every citizen, and where our nation no longer ignores the worth and creativity of a major part of our population.

Neighbors, possibly relatives, shouted slurs and called names. They intimidated the marchers by “rolling coal” in an effort to “own” a liberal, or something—I’m not really quite sure what their point is (while “rolling coal” may not be specifically illegal in Washington state, making the modifications to a diesel engine to allow it to blow thick, black smoke on a public highway is). And while this was going on, not one truck was ticketed for that, nor for breaking the Washington code that requires tires not exceed the body width of the vehicle.

But most disappointing was that no one from

the city came out and invited a spokesperson from the BLM-supporting group to come inside and talk—to hear what their complaints, observations and aspirations are. No one.

That makes me wonder if the people of the city truly care at all about what these young people want or need.

It’s not Blacks who fight to keep racism alive. Who else could it be?

LISA KEELER FOR JUDGEFor Superior Judge Position 2, I will be voting

for Lisa Keeler.We’ll be voting for two Superior Court Judge

positions in the Aug. 4 primary election. Lisa is running for the seat of the retiring Judge Deborra E. Garrett (Position 2). We will also be filling the seat vacated by Raquel Montoya Lewis (Position 4), when she was appointed to the State Supreme Court.

The superior court handles not just felonies but also civil cases such as family, employment and property law. My ideal judge candidate is someone who is fluent in the law, can delve into all sides of an argument, really loves the law and can listen with an open mind and render a fair verdict.

Lisa Keeler embodies all the qualities I would want in a judge. She has extensive trial

THISWEEK

COVER: Illustration by Michael Kountouris

The last time Jerry Maguire actress Kelly Preston walked the red carpet, it was in 2018 for the opening of the mafia biopic Gotti—in which she and husband John Travolta played spouses Victoria and John Gotti. Early this week, it was revealed that Preston, 57, had privately been battling breast cancer for the past two years, and had sadly succumbed to her illness. The same day, news came that Hollywood had suffered another loss, that of Glee actress Naya Rivera. The 33-year-old had gone missing on California’s Lake Piru July 8, and her body was recovered July 13. No foul play is suspected in the drowning.

We will continue to produce new articles each week and will post those online at http://www.cascadiaweekly.com.We’ll continue to produce a small PDF such

as this in alternate weeks to provide the special features many of our readers request. Look for our next print issue on the streets Weds., July 22.For those who wish to support Cascadia

Weekly, see the information at http://www.cascadiaweekly.com/support. Thank you for your generosity at a difficult moment for the publishing industry.

experience in consumer and labor issues as well as criminal and family law. Lisa is rated exceptionally well-qualified by Washington Women Lawyers and is endorsed by the Nooksack tribe as well as numerous other distinguished community leaders.

From 2016 to 2018 she chaired LAW Advocates, a volunteer organization which helps low-income persons get free legal aid. At the Washington State Attorney General’s Office she handled adult and juvenile protective services cases as well as cases concerning injuries on the job.

I have known her for over ten years through my church and Campaign for Equal Justice. She approaches her life looking for ways she can make a positive difference. When I asked her why she was running her face lit up when she said, “I love thinking about complex legal issues.”

Visit her website or her Facebook page to learn more. I hope you’ll join me and Vote Keeler for Superior Court Judge Position 2.

TROUBLING TIMESOften, I feel betrayed because Hillary

Clinton won the popular vote, and we got stuck with Trump.

This poor excuse for a president supports a confessed traitor and a felon who was convicted by a jury. He denigrates the free press and threatens federal funding for education. He sent the military to disperse peaceful protestors and did nothing to disperse armed white people in camo who stormed state capitals to protest the efforts by the governors of certain states to protect their residents from Covid-19. This virus got Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen out of prison, but schools must reopen? I wonder, does Trump even realize that he married an immigrant twice?

Democrats are not blameless, they needed to address the electoral college “problem” after the Bush-Gore debacle. I am so ready for outrageous outcomes that are not based on bullying, cheating, lying, and/or manipulation.

Another betrayal I often ponder is how fellow “Christians” do not recognize that an Anti-Christ is occupying the White House. Let’s vote, and let’s hope it really counts this time.

THE GIFT OF THRIFTVALUE VILLAGE

It has been the subject of much speculation, but the Bellingham Value Village has reopened for donations and shoppers alike. If you’re one of the many people who spent the first days of the pandemic cleaning out your closet, you now have an alternative to the long donation lines at Goodwill. Sadly, the same is not true of the Mount Vernon Value Village location, which has closed permanently.

HAVE GROCERIES, WILL DELIVERSKAGIT HOME GROCERY

If you’re a Skagit resident, grocery-getting has become stressful, and you find large delivery services expensive and difficult to schedule, Sarah at Skagit Home Grocery might be able to help. She’s been personal shopping since 2018, and for a nominal fee that’s less than what the big companies charge, she will bring handpicked groceries to your door—she’ll even make trips to multiple stores for you. Hit her up at skagithomegrocery@gmail.com.

NEWS OF BREWSSUMMER SIPPING

Innovative ideas have been the name of the game for local businesses navigating COVID-19 and local breweries are ahead of the curve, per usual. Boundary Bay, having recently scored a cocktail license, is using their bottling capacity to sell their version of a to-go lemon drop. Find out more at www.bbaybrewery.com. Meanwhile, Kulshan Brewery has launched their version of a CSA box, a CSB (aka Community Supported Beer) that will get subscribers a monthly case of assorted Kulshan beers. Signups for the three-month delivery service are open until July 24.

MASK UP, BUTTERCUP EVEN DINGER DOES IT

Bellingham Bells baseball might not be happening this year, but nothing keeps their jovial mascot, Dinger, down. He’s been making playlists, hosting scavenger hunts and basically being a Dinger about town—all with a mascot-sized mask on. If Dinger can wear a mask, so can you.

WATERLOGGEDKEENAN’S CLOSES TEMPORARILY

Thanks (but no thanks) to a rogue sprinkler that doused Keenan’s at the Pier, the waterfront-adjacent restaurant inside the Chrysalis Inn, getting a bite and a beverage at one of the more scenic spots in town is on hold temporarily. The restaurant hopes to be wrung out, dried out and back in business between July 21 and 28. Check their various social media outlets for updates.

FIREWOOD ON DEMANDNOW I’VE SEEN IT ALL

I never knew firewood-vending trucks were a thing until the intrepid newshounds at Skagit Breaking posted an item about Russ Harvey of Dancing Tree Farms and his unmanned, on-demand, wood-dispensing vehicle. The process is simple: Insert $7 into the truck, which is located at Orcas Island’s Moran State Park, and a bundle of locally sourced firewood appears to make your COVID-19 camping trips that much more convenient.

WECU APPRECIATION WEEKTHE PERKS OF MEMBERSHIP

Depending on when you read this, we could still be smack-dab in the middle of WECU Member Appreciation Week, which takes place July 13-18 and includes community perks for the people they serve. Flashing your WECU credentials (ie your credit or debit card) can nab you free pizza and ice cream, discounted golf, and bargain beer at Bellingham Cider Company, Mount Vernon’s District Brewing, and Fringe Brewing in Ferndale. See www.wecu.com for all the details.

READY FOR RUGBYA DIFFERENT KIND OF FIELDWORK

You might’ve cleaned out your closet or baked bread during our ongoing COVID-19 shutdown, but Chuckanut Bay Rugby Club did you one better and regraded and revamped their Ferndale pitches to get them ready for future rugby matches. Prior to the pandemic, the club raised $40,000 to devote to the effort, and now they’ve got the nicest fields around.

ROCK AND RYEHAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY

Every year, Rock and Rye Oyster House throws a buck-a-shuck oyster party to celebrate its birthday. The event is usually one day long, however this year they’ve extended it through July 19. Specials include the aforementioned dollar oysters, $5 glasses of bubbly and food items from days gone by. After having consumed a half-dozen oysters on the Rock and Rye patio a few days ago, I can confirm their birthday party is downright delicious.

PIES ON THE FLYIt’s been a long, hungry wait,

but Good to Go Meat Pies has opened the doors of its new downtown Bellingham location at 1306 Commercial St. Now you don’t have to make the journey to Everson to enjoy the savory and sweet pies for which the pasty purveyors are renowned.

Early signs indicate the Trump adminis-tration will back off of the new guidance that would’ve required international stu-dents with all online course loads to leave the country. The move came after several states and universities sued over the guid-ance, arguing that it was arbitrary and ca-pricious. Washington’s Attorney General asked a federal judge to put an immediate stop to the plan to revoke visas for interna-tional students while the state litigated its case, seeking to have the rule permanently vacated. The administration appeared hesi-tant to defend the rule amid an impressive public backlash, as there was no significant public push to defend the now-abandoned guidance. [AGO, Washington Post]

FRIDAYThe City of Bellingham proposes closing a

block on Holly Street to provide extra space for retail and restaurant social distancing. The planned temporary closure is the first of several planned alterations of City streets in-tended to support businesses as they adapt to COVID-19 health restrictions, Bellingham Mayor Seth Fleetwood said. Allowing full and partial street closures during the summer, so busi-nesses can expand into and take advantage of those outdoor spaces, is one way the City can support our business community, he said. [COB]

MONDAY Hundreds of local residents took advan-

tage of free drive-thru coronavirus testing at Civic Field over the weekend. Whatcom Uni-fied Command reports 411 people were tested on Friday and 399 on Saturday. [WUC, KGMI]

Eight new positive COVID-19 tests in Whatcom County are reported by the state Department of Health in their weekly up-date. For the rate of newly diagnosed cas-es per 100,000 people over the past two weeks, Whatcom County is still exceeding the goal value of 25, with a reported rate of 50.2 new diagnoses per 100,000. [DOH]

The rate of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues to soar in the Lynden area. While Bellingham has the highest number of cumulative case counts, the rate of in-fection is significantly higher in Lynden and Meridian than in any other part of the county. Lynden has 603 confirmed cases per 100,000 residents while Bellingham has 264 and Blaine has 262. [WUC, DOH]

Washington State Department of Health reports a two-day total of 1,438 new cas-es and 14 additional deaths statewide. Statewide totals have reached 40,656 cas-es and 1,438 deaths. [DOH]

07.08.20

WEDNESDAYGovernor Jay Inslee calls the Trump administration’s pressure to open

public schools in the fall “hogwash” and he said the state will not be bullied into making potentially unsafe decisions during the ongoing coro-navirus pandemic. Trump had declared that some states are keeping schools closed not because of the risks from the coronavirus pandemic but for po-litical reasons. “Decisions about school and how to have it, on-site or oth-erwise, will remain with the state of Washington,” Inslee said. “These are Washington students and Washington state has the legal authority to make decisions about their education.” [Office of Governor]

Washington logged 28,393 new regular unemployment claims during the previous week, down 11 percent from the prior week, for a total of 736,151 total claims for all unemployment benefit categories, according to the Em-ployment Security Department. The state paid out more than $470.9 million in individual claims last week. [ESD]

07.09.20

THURSDAYWashington and other states file a lawsuit challenging the Trump adminis-

tration’s proposed visa rule for international students. Approximately 27,000 international students attend higher education institutions in Washington state and spend approximately $1 billion in the state each year. The rule goes into effect on July 15. It requires every college and university to decide whether they will hold classes in-person, remotely or implement a hybrid model with both in-person and remote classes. The rule revokes the student visas for all international students attending colleges and universities holding classes remotely. [AGO]

Western Washington University blasts the Department of Homeland Security over its new policy on foreign student visas. Western Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Brent Carbajal calls the order misguided and cruel and says it places a “uniquely unjust burden” on international students during the pandemic. The university hopes to offer 25-30 percent of its classes in person in the fall, but there’s a chance they’ll have to return to online-only instruction if infections increase. “This targeted or-der is both blatantly xenophobic and oblivious to the reality of the public health situation in this country,” Carbajal said. “At a time of excruciating uncertainty, this policy adds yet another layer of anxiety for one specific group of students…. Forcing international students to choose between leaving the country and taking in-person courses, regardless of their pref-erences or whether they are at higher risk for infection is cruel and decid-edly unfair.” [WWU]

GRIZZLY REVERSAL

The federal government scraps plans to reintroduce grizzly bears to the North Cascades—a policy reversal that drew rebuke from conservation groups that have worked for decades to increase the survival of this population. Fewer than 10 grizzlies are thought to live across 9,800 square miles anchored by North Cascades National Park. Recent public comment periods and past polling show that roughly 80 percent of respondents support grizzly bear restoration in the backcountry in and around North Cascades National Park, including residents on both sides of the Cascade Crest.

Noémi Ban (1922-2019) was living in Debrecen, Hungary when the Nazis invaded in March 1944. Noémi, her mother, grandmother, sister and baby brother were forced into a cramped cattle car and taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Ban was among 1,000 women forced to work as laborers in a munitions factory at Allendorf and one of 12 women to escape the women's Death March in 1945. She and her father were the only family members to survive the Holocaust. She later married and moved to Bellingham to become a beloved teacher and speaker about the Holocaust. Ban co-authored Sharing is Healing: A Holocaust Survivor's Story, and cofounded the Northwest Cen-ter for Holocaust, Genocide and Ethnocide Education at WWU. Ban received honorary doctorates from Gonzaga University and WWU. She was posthumously honored by WWU when they created a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, making it the first public university in the state to offer such a program.

2020 marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the formation of the League of Women Voters. Every week in 2020, the LWV is proud to feature a woman who made a difference in What-com County through their accomplishments, active community involvement or inspiring representa-tion in different fields.

Being alive, it is a gift. I use it, I love it, I am a happy person with a memory I can never forget.—Noémi Ban

CAR-CRAZY CAPERSOn July 9, Bellingham Police attempt-ed a traffic stop on a motorist driving in a reckless manner. Instead, the ve-hicle rocketed away from the marked patrol car, leading officers on a 3.8-mile pursuit through mostly residen-tial neighborhoods. While fleeing, the 58-year-old motorist drove directly into the path of an occupied, parked police car with its emergency lights on. The officer had to take rapid evasive ac-tion to avoid being struck head-on by the SUV. As the motorist continued to flee, the pursuing officers saw him swerve intentionally across both lanes of travel directly into the path of an officer who had parked their patrol car well off the roadway. He crashed his car head-on into the officer’s car with the officer still in the car. The SUV eventually crashed into the front of a business on East Bakerview Road. His car pushed halfway into the building. The driver was arrested and booked into jail on multiple felony charges related to eluding and reckless driving. No one was injured in the chase; however the building suffered significant damage.

On July 14, a Sedro-Woolley officer observed a vehicle driving erratically. The officer turned around to follow the car and the driver immediately acceler-ated. The vehicle continued at a high rate of speed, but eventually did not navigate a turn and struck an embank-ment, causing the vehicle to be dis-abled hood-down in a ditch. As officers exited their patrol car, they could hear a loud explosion come from the wreck like a gunshot. The driver yelled to of-ficers that he was thinking of killing himself. After about 45 minutes, the driver agreed to exit the vehicle and was taken into custody.

On July 4, Anacortes Police investigat-ed a vehicle-versus-fence accident. The driver attempted to enter a driveway, police explained, but she missed and collided with a fence on an adjacent property. The driver was transported by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation and was cited for wheels off roadway.

CORONAPARTYOn July 5, Blaine Police responded to a house party with a large number of intoxicated juveniles. “Many of the ju-veniles left voluntarily with sober driv-ers,” police reported. “The report will

be forwarded to the prosecutor for re-view of charges for the homeowner.”

THE WILD ONEOn June 24, Blaine Police responded to a report of a lost child. “A child was out riding his toy motorcycle with no parents around,” police reported. “As officers ar-rived, the mother arrived as well. No fur-ther action was taken.”

THE EYES CANNOT UNSEEOn July 7, a caller wanted to complain to Bellingham Police about a man walking around inside his house nude with the blinds up in Columbia neighborhood.

CRITTER CRIMESOn June 29, a woman called an Anacortes Animal Control Officer because she was in the process of moving and could not catch her cat. The ACO assisted by loan-ing the woman a live trap. “The feline faces possible charges of obstructing,” police reported.

On June 30, an Anacortes man called po-lice to report that a family of raccoons had chased him. “The perpetrators allegedly reside in a storm drain,” police reported. The officer did not respond to the scene, but notified the Animal Control Officer in case any follow up is required.

On June 23, an Anacortes man called po-lice to report he left his vehicle parked and running and that someone had stolen it a few minutes later. “The man was con-cerned about his truck and some belong-ings therein, but seemed most concerned about his Lab-mix dog that was also in the vehicle at the time of the incident,” police reported. Officers were unable to locate the vehicle that day, but Oak Harbor Police recovered the vehicle and dog. The dog ap-peared to be in good health. “The rightful owner was later reunited with his truck and four-legged friend,” police reported.

On July 4, a dog fell off a cliff while walking the loop road in Washington Park in Skagit County. Hikers in the area were able to help the dog and law enforcement assistance was not required.

On July 7, an Anacortes Animal Control Officer contacted the owner of frantically barking dogs and discussed two recently adopted littermates who were the main culprits. The owner was taking some steps to manage the dogs’ behavior and was receptive to additional feedback pro-vided by the ACO.

On June 25, a caller reported a crow stuck in their chimney. The Anacortes An-imal Control Officer, with the assistance of another officer, was able to free the bird and release it outside.

FUZZ BUZZ

Violet Hillaire (1930-1995) was an advocate for Indian health and educa-tion. Born on Portage Island when there was neither running water nor health care, she attended Lummi Day School, completing her education at Salem’s Chemawa Indian School. At 23 years old, she married Henry Hillaire. They parented 14 children; their posterity stands at 31 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchil-dren. As a chairman of the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) she is credited with helping to shape their mission to eliminate health disparities and improve the delivery of culturally appropriate, high-level health care to Northwest tribes. Her family remembers her distributing blankets to those who were cold, transporting voters to the polls and, with other unpaid lob-byists, cramming into a single hotel room in Washington D.C. to support the needs of her tribe. They remember her words: “When you do anything, do it from your heart, and do it for your people.”

“Don’t bother to come home if you didn’t vote.” —Violet Hillaire
