Hello Again!

This year, as it has been in the past, gives me an opportunity to say “Hello again!” to those who are familiar with our community, and give a big “Welcome!” to those for whom this is their first experience with the all the delightful people, places and events that make Lynden have such a special place in our hearts.

In this publication we attempt to give you just a small sample of those wonderful individuals, various community organized and produced events, and locations for recreation around town, as best as we can in such a short format.

Within the covers of this directory you will also find local businesses, large and small, whose support through membership of the Lynden Chamber of Commerce make it possible for us to engage in producing opportunities for family and friends to gather. Please use them as your providers, as they have shown through their membership, that they care about Lynden, too!

Events such as the Lynden Farmers Day Parade, Northwest Raspberry Festival, “Dutch Treat” Trick or Treat, and Northwest Lighted Christmas Parade are not just about celebrating Lynden as a place, but Lynden as people - people who care for each other, celebrate together, and welcome those whom we don’t know into our community. We hope you enjoy the articles within, and enjoy every day we are all blessed to be in Lynden!

police chief john billester

From LA County, he didn’t foresee path to Lynden, but ‘I like it here’ Lynden Police Chief John Billester never would have guessed that this is the profession or town he’d end up in.

Billester, who grew up in southern California, worked for the Los Angeles County Fire Department his first three years out of college. It wasn’t until he did a ride-along with a friend in the Sheriff’s Department that “a whole new world opened up for me,” he said.

He joined the LA County sheriff’s force on July 29, 1977, beginning what would become now a 42-year career in law enforcement. He worked in Los Angeles for two years, then transferred to Santa Barbara, working on a SWAT team, in narcotics and finally as a background investigator detective.

4

That would serve well for coming to small-town Whatcom County eventually. “In a small department, we do our own backgrounds. I had the process down and knew what to look for in a good employee.”

In 1990 Billester and his family took a vacation up to Victoria, British Columbia, where his mother had grown up. He also talked to the chiefs of police at Ferndale, Lynden, Sumas and Blaine to see if there were any opportunities. In fact, there was an opening in Ferndale and by October 1990 Billester was a Ferndale police officer.

“I was the new guy, and what I didn’t want was ‘Here’s the new guy from a big department, gonna come and show us how to do law enforcement,’” Billester said. “So I just kept my mouth shut, nose to the grindstone and did what I was told. It worked out really well.”

A lieutenant position — second in command to

chief — opened up at the Lynden Police Department.

Billester applied, was accepted and came on board June 8, 1991.

department as the new head, as well as make sure the department would keep progressing to where it needed to be.

“I was on the march to get into the fire department,” Billester says, reflecting. “Somehow I landed in law enforcement. I came up here to Ferndale and somehow landed in Lynden. Here I am, 27 years later.”

“Every time you change, you have to re-prove yourself,” Billester said. “Any time you’re promoted, you’re on probation again and you have to prove yourself.

He became Lynden’s acting chief after longtime chief Jack Foster retired in August 2017, then was confirmed as full chief of police in March 2018.

It’s been a fairly smooth transition, he said, although there are a few aspects of his new job he hadn’t encountered before. “I hadn’t been practiced in dealing with public safety, or the city council, or meeting one-on-one with the mayor and city administrator,” Billester said. “Those were new experiences for me.”

He also wanted to gain the trust of the entire

“We just have phenomenal people here,” he said.

“I learned, doing background investigations, you lose about 90 percent of your applicants. They’re disqualified for some reason or another. We have the cream of the crop.”

Now he’s been married to his high school sweetheart for 43 years and they have three grown children. He doesn’t miss living in southern California, only his old friends there.

“It’s a great place to visit, but I don’t want to live down there,” Billester said. “I like it up here.”

Since 1978, Lynden Door has been a trusted family-owned manufacturer of residential, architectural, and commercial interior wood doors, recognized for having a passion for innovation, design excellence, commitment to environmental stewardship, and strong community.

Cecil Martin, Lynden schools’ custodian

His work keeps everything functioning

one relied on to ease the transition.

Plenty of people employed by the Lynden School District factor into its smooth operation — teachers, principals, office staff.

The old middle school is where Martin’s career in the Lynden public schools began. In 1984, he started there as a night custodian. Eight months later, he was moved to the high school and spent over 19 years there as the head caretaker.

Maintenance person Cecil Martin doesn’t teach.

And he isn’t an administrator. But his service is important.

“You have to like what you do and you have to enjoy your job. Otherwise you’re just putting in time,” he said.

When winter weather unexpectedly slowed the construction of a new Fisher Elementary School in 2017, it was Martin (with others) who was racing against the clock to move furniture and supplies into the new building before the school’s fall start. They had barely 30 days to do so.

Martin has been in his district maintenance role for eight years, making repairs and doing preventative maintenance on the six separate campuses. Sometimes he’s shoveling snow or changing lights.

And in 2018, when a similar move had to happen from the old Lynden Middle School on Main Street to a new structure built on Line Road, Martin was again the 6

Martin enjoys the familiar faces that greet him during his morning shift. He’s seen four superintendents come and go and has witnessed students grow and progress through the schools, and beyond. He’s especially bonded with the teachers.

“I love it and wouldn’t have been here that long if I didn’t,” Martin said.

But for a time, Martin did want to move on. He took a seven-year break from his LSD career in 1997 to start a janitorial business of his own.

“When you get to the other side, you realize the grass is not as green as you thought it was,” Martin said.

His capital increased, but Martin lost more of what he wanted. Owning his own business meant less time for family.

“For me, it wasn’t about money,” Martin said. “I wanted to spend time with my family, get vacations, evenings, weekends.”

Martin realized that every job has its ups and downs and he made the choice to return to the district. Now he can devote more time to his family of 11 kids altogether. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Firefighter Marc Davis

He enjoys the camaraderie of now serving the community after being in Iraq Marc Davis was serving his country as a Marine Corps reserve on convoy security in Iraq before he joined the Lynden Fire Department.

In fact, Davis was looking for that same sense of disciplined camaraderie in service when he signed on as a Lynden volunteer in 2012 and then became a full-time firefighter in 2014. The experience of bonding with buddies while having to work under pressure and at risk in Iraq — “it really did prepare me well for this career,” he says.

Davis is now part of the firefighter rotation that keeps the Lynden station staffed at all times to respond to medical, accident and fire calls, with backup. In 2018, the city’s steadily rising call volume reached 1,770.

8

The training to be a firefighter, emergency medical technician (EMT) or hazardous materials specialist is extensive, almost equivalent to a full-time job, and it is required of volunteers as well. That rigorous training, plus lots of time spent working together as a unit, turns them into professionals, Davis said. “You get to the point where you just flow,” he said.

And firefighter families also become close, to the point that they might celebrate holidays together.

Call-outs in a city like Lynden, with an extra senior population, can be in the nature of falls, minor injuries or a cardiac arrest. For them all, the responding crew needs to be quick and ready with assessment, stabilizing the situation and rendering the first medical treatment, with compassion. Sometimes transport to the hospital follows.

A Philadephia native, Davis came to the Northwest following a brother already out here. Now he and his

wife, Brittany, live in Lynden and have started a family, knowing this is their chosen home.

At one time, Davis was in a pre-med track at Western Washington University and he has also taken other medical training. All this background turns out to be useful in a profession that puts him and fellow firefighters often at the first level of medical response. And Davis just recently signed up to pursue a fire science degree online through Everett Community College.

Why Lynden?

Founded in 1957 as Jude’s Sporting Goods

Lindsey & Joel VanderHoek, Owners of BORDERVIEW (pictured with son Jude)

Simply put, we love Lynden. It’s where our roots are.

Not only that, but we really believe it’s a great place to Live, Play and Work, as our Chamber of Commerce says.

That’s why after locating our company in Seattle for two years, we moved back to Lynden in 2013. It’s where dad and grandpa have served local sportsmen for 60+ years — from Jude’s Sporting Goods to Dave’s Sports Shop.

And now it’s where we serve thousands across the globe.

Lions Club diligently puts up flags 11 times per year

Flag Project is part of a fundraiser that benefits a variety of local causes On 11 different dates throughout the year, the Stars and Stripes are proudly fluttering around Lynden.

But they don’t just appear from nowhere. The American flags are put up by the Lynden Lions Club as part of a fundraiser that Lynden businesses are invited to participate in.

More than 300 flags are displayed along Lynden’s streets on the 11 observed holidays, which are Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Patriots Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day and Pearl Harbor Day. For those flags to fly on these patriotic days, Lions Club volunteers must donate their time to place them.

“We have just about 10 to 12 people who are very active in this,” said Chuck Boies, chairman of the Lynden Lions Flag Project. “We have some married couples who take a route. We have six routes throughout town. We go from clear down by Safeway all the way up to Edaleen Dairy (on Guide Meridian Road) and over to Bender Plaza and all through town.”

The volunteers are out doing this setup by 6 a.m. — no matter the weather conditions! — in order to avoid traffic on Front Street and the Guide. Two to three people take each route, some of which involve walking and others mostly driving, with a mix of both on certain routes.

On the administrative side, Chuck and his wife, Nancy, send out billing notices around the first of the year to businesses that have participated in the past. If the Boieses haven’t heard back from a business by May, they go out and hand-deliver a billing notice, and then the business either confirms or denies that it wishes to pay for a flag for that year.

If they don’t receive anything after another goaround in June, they fill the flag hole with cement. New customers mean new holes in the ground.

“If we get a new customer, we go and usually drill a hold in the sidewalk in front of them,” Chuck Boies said.

“For some businesses, it’s better to build a bracket to put on the side.”

Each flag put out costs $30 annually, and many businesses pay for multiple flags. Overall, about 200 customers in the Lynden area pay for 300 flags.

“For $30 annually, we provide the flag, we provide the pole, we put them out, we pick them up, and we store them,” Chuck Boies said.

Chuck and Nancy have been involved in the Flag Project for about 10 years, but the project began much earlier.

“Jake Heerspink was the Lion who took care of it for a few years before that, and there was another gentleman before that,” Chuck said. “It’s been close to 30 years, I think.”

Chuck emphasizes that the money raised goes to support a variety of worthy causes. These include Camp Horizon, Lions Sight & Hearing, Cascade Connections, the Lynden Community Center, the Lynden Pioneer Museum, youth scholarships, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a babysitting clinic, guide dogs, New Way Ministries, Project Santa and the local Boys & Girls Club.

YMCA Healthy living coordinator Tara Marshall

She is all-in as to how the YMCA can help people stay fit Tara Marshall was running out of options to complete her 540-hour internship for a kinesiology degree from Washington State University. Then she turned to the Whatcom YMCA. From February to June 2016, Marshall finished her intern stint at Whatcom YMCA, which encompasses Lynden, Bellingham and Ferndale facilities. Then she was offered a part-time job helping with preventative wellness and disease prevention classes.

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better internship,” Marshall said. “It was the most incredible experience. I got to work in all the areas that interest

20

me.”

Marshall deals with Type 1 diabetes, so she was thrilled when the YMCA began letting her facilitate the diabetes prevention program — eventually becoming its coordinator.

When Lynden’s previous activities coordinator left in June 2017, Marshall was promoted full-time to a combination of the positions of healthy living coordinator and diabetes prevention coordinator for the Lynden and Bellingham YMCAs. She now teaches fitness classes and diabetes prevention for 35 hours a week between the two locations.

At the Lynden YMCA, Marshall runs a Pedaling for Parkinson’s class, letting people with Parkinson’s pedal stationary bikes for 60 minutes a session, three times a week. It’s a program based on research that

shows pedaling at a certain circadence helps mask the symptoms of Parkinsons.

“We have a great group of people and we do it here in the gym,” Marshall said. “We put the bikes in a circle so we can all see each other. It’s also their time to come in and socialize. They look forward to it. It really has shown to help them.”

She also runs a Silver Sneakers class twice a week, a program designed for seniors, but one that anyone can join. It’s an hour of low-impact exercise incorporating a small, squishy ball, a resistance band and weights.

“It’s one of our most popular classes here,” Marshall said. “Again, it’s kind of like their social time.

They look forward to it. And, man, are they strong!”

She took it easy on the participants during the first class she taught, thinking they would need some time to adjust.

“I guess I was too easy on them,” Marshall said.

“They let me know. They were like, “Tara, we like to work really hard here.’ It’s great that they feel comfortable enough to be transparent with me. And I really try to hear them out and design my plan accordingly to how they like it.

“There are some fit seniors in Lynden. They’re really, really cool.”

Marshall also runs an indoor spin class that uses stationary bikes. It’s a 45-minute high-cardiovascular workout. And she runs a 30-minute core class that

focuses on abdominal muscles.

“It’s really fun and it’s exactly the area I want to work in — fitness and healthy living,” the Bellingham native says of working at the YMCA. “I can really see myself here for awhile, if not forever. Not only do I get to work with great people as in the members, but the employees are all so inspirational and make me want to serve our community in any way that I can.”

Lynden Library provides window into history

Service-oriented staff, microfilm reader, sense of community all make Lynden’s library unique The Lynden Library holds a great deal of history in the pages of the books on its shelves, but it has a few other ways of exploring the past as well.

The reader can be used to manipulate the picture, which can be taken from pretty much any kind of physical document, and patrons can then send their scanned photos to their own email addresses to use however they wish.

Marrs-Smith, who began as Lynden Library director in 2016, said the microfilm reader is just one of the aspects that make the Lynden Library unique. Much of this comes from what makes Lynden itself unique as a city.

Lynden’s library is the only county branch outside ofGlad the Bellingham Public Library that hosts excellent a microfilm service and over 12.5 million cubic feet Providing to be part “We are a community place,” Marrs-Smith said. reader for patrons to use. of storage to serve Whatcom County.

similar to the “411” telephone services of the past.

“I kind of equate us to that,” she said. “You can call us and we can give you a recipe over the phone.”

Marrs-Smith said the strangest request the library ever received was to help someone size themselves for a girdle. The person was an actor and needed to wear a girdle for a role.

“So, we had to figure out how to size one,” MarrsSmith said.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Lynden Library, and the library’s staff is asking the community to bring in their library stories from over the years.

“We want to know why they love reading,” MarrsSmith said.

The library is using a heritage grant to gather the stories to collect and compile a book of memories.

Wayne Vogel, set creator for Claire vg

After 19 years, he figures he has trained others enough to take over The first show Wayne Vogel helped with was “Peter Pan,” back in holiday season 1999. Then he was gradually drawn into the embrace of the Lynden Performing Arts Guild, its people and its productions.

His role was set design and construction.

That task fit the talents of Vogel, whose day job is specializing in garage doors at Westside Building Supply. He knows how to put construction materials together to get a job done.

His service at the Claire vg Thomas Theatre had to be done after his regular job, and Vogel knows how all-consuming getting ready for a stage production can be for all involved — hours and hours of time put in evenings or weekends for four to eight weeks, and then the show itself.

28

“There is a ton of things to be done,” he says, having now seen dozens of shows put on at the Claire.

The casting and rehearsing, ticket sales, publicity and costuming are just some, beside what he and a crew do in set creation.

Not long after Vogel got involved, he also headed up a much-needed side task. He completely rebuilt the theatre’s side and lower areas — “where people come disappear down or off stage,” he summarizes — for better use of that space. Actors can do their costuming and makeup changes more easily, and sets can be moved more readily too.

Down below Judson Street, the theatre leases space for storage, and one entire section is devoted to set construction materials and tools. Much is saved from previous shows. “We have everything here,” Vogel says, knowing he needs to be both frugal and creative.

“Usually you have to buy something. I try to stay under $500. Some shows are more complicated than others.

51 8 F R O N T S T R E E T, LY N D E N , W A 9 8 26 4 • (3 6 0) 3 5 4 - 5 9 9 5 • FA X : (3 6 0) 3 5 4 - 0 4 0 1 • W W W. LY N D E N .O R G

There have been a lot of shows where I didn’t have to go get a thing. You just do what you have to do.”

The biggest challenge across the years, in terms of set creation, was “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

After the last show of 2018, “It’s a Wonderful Life, the Musical,” Vogel gave his colleagues notice that he intends to step aside from set construction. He believes he’s trained others well enough to take it over from him.

Yet it will be a big transition, and Vogel represents the kind of devoted service that makes the Claire vg continue to thrive, said Kit Vonnegut, guild secretary.

“He has been our construction manager for years and has built, offered expert opinion, and designed more of our sets than anyone can remember. He has been a tireless force for us, and we are deeply grateful to him,” Vonnegut said.

For his part, once a set is built and a show is off into its three-week run, Vogel will go to it once. “I am choked up every time,” he says, seeing how the work of

everyone blends into a theatrical treat.

He has seen many youths grow into accomplished performers through the honing of their talents on the Lynden stage. “Their maturity and how well they do — that’s what gets me. It’s rewarding.”

The duo behind the Welkom Baskets

Ada Voskuilen and Virgi Diephuis keep up a Lynden ritual that newcomers appreciate

The baskets now are likely filled with raisin buns from Lynden Dutch Bakery, Appel Farms cheese and many coupons for items such as lunch at Dutch Mothers Restaurant and the services of other local businesses.

The first welcoming visit Ada Voskuilen paid to newcomers in the 98264 zip code happened in 1994.

It was to an actor who had come to Lynden with an interest in horses.

“People love it,” Diephuis said. “They love the personal touch ... and love the fact that we’ve taken the time to call them and bring them these baskets from the Chamber.”

Voskuilen stood at his home wearing a traditional Dutch dress and wooden klompen shoes, as an unofficial ambassador for Lynden. With her she carried a complimentary Welkom Basket filled with products from Lynden businesses and farms, including raspberry juice created from local berries, a popular item.

Today, Voskuilen and Virgi Diephuis are the ones who continue this Lynden rite of passage, delivering up to a dozen baskets per month.

38

Sometimes they get addresses from real estate professionals who have sold homes. Or just a word-ofmouth referral comes to the Chamber of Commerce.

The ongoing Lynden tradition acts as a personal welcome to new residents, a way to say “We’re your friends,” Voskuilen said.

As a Netherlands native and so a newcomer herself decades ago, Voskuilen knows how it feels to be an outsider. She recalls that the grocery store was

the happening place to be on Friday and Saturday. “I noticed these ladies that always had their hair all up, put up in little bobby pins or rollers,” Voskuilen said.

Wanting to fit in and be more “American,” she did the same.

Diephuis had already been involved in teaching Dutch dancing to children in Lynden, for parades and performances, when she was asked to deliver the Welkom Baskets.

“I love hearing the variety of answers of why they come to Lynden and their first memorable experience,” Diephuis said.

Although the survey responses vary, most who answer seem to agree on one thing: This welcoming tradition is one that should continue.

The pair find enjoyment in the routine. And the home visits are beneficial to the Chamber too.

Diephuis and Voskuilen will ask a number of questions, record the answers and report back to the Chamber, providing insights into who is relocating to the area.

Questions include: Why did you choose Lynden?

What’s your profession? Do you have children?
