In case of emergency ... Show your appreciation to volunteers By Annelle Norman With a lot of help from a lot of people and organizations, Point Roberts made it through Covid-19. On Saturday, June 25, gather to celebrate the heroes, some of them anonymous and most of them unsung, to say thank you and to finally break from the clutch of Covid. Come to the Benson Road firehall on Saturday, June 25 from noon to 3 p.m. Bring a potluck dish and a camp chair, grab a free burger or hot dog, play some games, listen to some great music and tell someone thank you! There will be fun activities for the kids: giant bubbles, corn hole, games with the volunteer firefighters, giant Janga, and tattoos as well as for the whole family: cake walks and thank you messages. There will be music of all sorts and storytelling. There will be an open mic where you will have the opportunity to tell a story from Covid-19 about someone who cared, someone who helped, an organization that made a difference, or just simply say thank you. Music will be provided by a dozen talented musicians, nine of them assembled in a new cover band, “The Point” – Shaune Ann Feuz, Savilla Kress, and Krispian Emert on vocals, Joseph Siegel on keyboard, Casey Carmody on drums, Jeff Butts on conga, Derrick Luder on guitar, and Jess Pennoyer providing sound. Additionally, the Craig Jacks and the Jackalopes will be making an appearance. The Circle of Care bus will shuttle attendees from the community center parking lot to the event throughout the afternoon.If you’d like to participate in the community potluck, please email prvolunteerday@gmail.com. If you’d like to donate a cake for the cake walk, please bring one on a dish that you don’t mind giving away. And most importantly, bring your happy, grateful heart and your friends and family. Let’s celebrate together! For questions or if you’d like to volunteer either before or after the event, email prvolunteerday@gmail.com.

Parks chair Bennett Blaustein announces forthcoming resignation B y P a t G r u bb Point Roberts Park and Recreation District board chair Bennett Blaustein announced that he intends to resign after the board’s August 8 regular meeting. He informed the other members of the board on June 13 at their monthly meeting. According to Blaustein, he and his wife intend to take an extended two-month trip to California as well as a cruise following his resignation. He said he wanted to see kid’s camp through before taking his leave of the district. “I want to make sure that everything is wrapped up in terms of procedures and policies for the rest of the board,” he said. Currently serving as chair, Blaustein joined the board in January 2016. Recently, with the departure of district coordinator Ina Carare and the lack of a maintenance person, he has also been assuming part of those responsibilities as well as commissioner duties. With Blaustein abstaining, the rest of the board unanimously approved paying him at the rate of $15 an hour for 146.5 hours he had worked between May 9 to the June 13 board meeting and for hours subsequent to the June meeting. In doing so, the payments are authorized under RCW 86.09.283 which allows for compensating directors “in performance of other official services or duties on be-
half of the board” as long as payments are $90 or less per day. In total, Blaustein will receive $2,197 in remuneration. In other district news, Blaustein clarified the eligibility rules for kids attending the district’s summertime kids camp. “Kids aged 12 or under who are living in Point Roberts during kids camp time can attend the camp,” he said, adding, “Kids over 12 can be unpaid junior counselors. At 16, they can be paid counselors.” The district also announced the hiring of Emily McKinley as part time clerical/ recreation facilitator. She will receive $25/ hour during a 60-day probationary period which will be increased to $26/hour upon its conclusion. The district is also anticipating hiring a part time maintenance worker in the near future.

Next issue: August 2022 Ads due: July 22
By Ed Johnstone Efforts are ramping up to control the explosion of invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) in western Washington. The invasive species reached San Francisco in 1989 and was first detected in small numbers on the Olympic coast in 1998. We’ve now reached the point where thousands are being caught every year in Grays Harbor, Willapa Bay and Makah Bay. The Makah Tribe developed a robust trapping program, which caught 1,200 within the first two months of the trapping season this year. In the Tsoo-yess River channels, they can find up to 40 of them within a span of 5-10 minutes. But not every tribe has the resources to keep up with this unchecked proliferation. My tribe, the Quinault Indian Nation, doesn’t have the staff to trap aggressively in Grays Harbor.
It was only a matter of time before the crab reached the Salish Sea. In 2012, a population of green crab was found in the Sooke Inlet of Vancouver Island, and in 2015, the state’s Washington Sea Grant Crab Team began monitoring Puget Sound shorelines. The crab team expanded its trapping efforts to Grays Harbor, Willapa Bay and Makah Bay in 2020. Last year, we saw exponential increases in green crab numbers in estuaries along the Olympic coast as well as in Lummi Nation’s sea pond in north Puget Sound. The shallow 750-acre sea pond is part of Lummi’s hatchery facility. It was designed to cultivate shellfish and juvenile salmon, but unfortunately, that made it a perfect incubator for an invasive species. The first green crab were found there in 2019 and last year, thanks to an extensive trapping effort, the tribe captured 70,000 of them. The Lummi Indian Business Council declared the European green crab invasion
a disaster in November 2021. In January 2022, Gov. Inslee ordered his state agencies to implement emergency measures to try to control the spread. The state Legislature made $8.6 million available in the 2022 supplemental budget signed in March. Lummi and Makah were given highest priority and received some of that emergency funding this year, and we’re working with the state to direct more resources to population control on the coast. At this point, there’s no hope of eradicating European green crab in our region. They’re here for good and they’re threatening our shellfish industry. They’ve traveled as far south in the Salish Sea as Hood Canal, where a male European green crab was found in May 2022. We’ve seen the damage they cause. On the East Coast, European green crab are to blame for the collapse of the eastern softs(Please see next page)
Letters To The Editor The Editor: The Point Roberts Taxpayers Association (PRTA) will be holding its annual general meeting (AGM) this month, on Thursday, July 21, at 5 p.m., at Kiniski’s Reef Tavern (outside patio, weather permitting). Appetizers and soft beverages will be provided by the association (and a cash bar will be available inside the Reef). We look forward to resuming this tradition of in-person AGMs, with stimulating speakers and lively discussion, after a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19. In 2020, we were unable to celebrate PRTA’s 50th anniversary, so this year we’ll actually be looking back at 52 years of service to the community. We are honored this year to have as our keynote speaker, Lisa J. Brown, PhD, Director of the Washington State Department of Commerce. Previously, Dr. Brown has served as the chancellor of the University of Washington, Spokane, and as a member of the Washington State Legislature, including eight years as the first Democratic female majority leader of the Washington State Senate. She holds a PhD in economics. The theme of her remarks at our AGM will be “Washington’s Economic Recovery: Helping Communities Thrive,” followed by Q&A with the audience. Our state representative Sharon Shewmake is also expected to participate. PRTA is very grateful to representative Shewmake and her staff for facilitating our invitation to Dr Brown. PRTA membership is open to all Point Roberts property owners (as well as fulltime renters). We sincerely hope you will join the association for only $10 annual dues (U.S./Canadian at par) for individual or household membership; but it’s not required. Everyone is welcome. Please mark your calendars to come to the Reef on July 21 to join us in celebrating over half a century of service to our community as per our motto, “United States and Canadian Citizens Working Together for Point Roberts, WA.” Mark Robbins, PRTA president Point Roberts The Editor: While Point Roberts might not consider itself a resort town, we are experiencing some of the same issues regarding housing for workers. Affordable rentals are going the way of the Dodo as more people move to “Covid-safe” Point Roberts, buying homes that were once rentals.
There are several Point Roberts businesses currently looking for employees. Shipping company workers, gas station attendants, waiters and waitresses, bartenders, grocery checkout clerks are all needed here on the Point. Why are these businesses having trouble filling these positions? There are several groups of people on the Point. Vacationers, who own homes and visit them occasionally. Retired people who live here full-time that don’t need or want to work. Professionals working from home, and those who need to work to live here. I’ll call them service workers for a lack of a better name. Vacationers, retirees and professionals mostly all own their own homes. Some service workers own their own homes here, but many rent their homes. When the property values rise and the rental owners sell their property, where will these renters go? There are almost no rental properties within the reach of service workers. They can’t afford $2,000 – $3,000 a month in rent, so they have to leave Point Roberts, reducing the number of service workers even more. There are other services that need to be filled. We need electricians, plumbers, building contractors, carpenters, dog groomers, etc. These workers won’t commute to Point Roberts on a daily basis. These needs could be filled if they could
find homes to rent for them and their families. Many homeowners here understand the issue of not being able to get their roofs, electrical wiring, appliances and plumbing fixed, or waiting months for an someone to help them. This issue affects them directly. Point Roberts hopes to build Green House Project care homes for residents needing special care. They will need to include affordable housing for nurses and other caregivers. The business community needs to support these workers by buying empty homes and renting them to the service workers. Residents of Point Roberts need to support this goal and owners of empty homes need to rent their properties. As the owner of Point Roberts Computer Services, I support many residents, fixing their computers, setting up their TVs and streaming devices, installing security systems and providing other electronic services. I will end up closing shop and moving away if I can’t find a place to live here on the Point. I’m aware of several other service workers desperately looking for places to live. If Point Roberts isn’t worker-friendly, it will end up a “golden handcuffed” community with businesses having to supplement workers’ housing, causing them to raise their prices or go out of business due to a lack of workers.

Green crabs ... From page 4
hell clam industry in Maine. We know they destroy nearshore habitat by burrowing into the mud and damaging eelgrass beds, which are critical habitat for shellfish and salmon. But we don’t yet know what the long-term effects will be on Washington’s local crab populations including Dungeness crab. Last summer, the Makah Tribe began researching the overlap between the habitat used by both species of crab, to learn more about that threat. Part of the work involves
setting up video cameras underwater to see whether green crab and Dungeness crab are aggressive toward each other or preventing one another from accessing food. Because of the decline in our salmon runs, tribes depend on Dungeness crab to sustain our economies and ways of life. If we don’t slow down the spread of European green crab, we’re at risk of losing Dungeness crab too. We need all-hands-on-deck if we’re going to protect native species from this invasive threat. We need management and funding to support a coordinated effort with boots on the ground. (Ed Johnstone is chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission)

Board returns to in-person meetings By Ian Haupt
T Awaiting repairs... Photo by Stephen Fowler
Maple Beach seawall repair – could it really be happening? B y P a t G r u bb At long last perhaps, the Maple Beach seawall will be repaired after all. A fourth request for bids (RFB) to repair the seawall closed on June 14 with just one bid submitted. Tiger Construction submitted a bid in the amount of $79,500, up from the $61,300 bid the company submitted in the third round. There were no bids submitted in the first two bid rounds. The seawall was damaged in a fatal highspeed car accident on June 1, 2021. The third round bid was rejected because county engineers had estimated the job should cost no more than $32,000. In preparing the latest RFB, county engi-
neers estimated the project should cost $52,747.20 with a range of $45,000 to $65,000, just slightly more than the earlier $61,300 bid. Roughly two months later, Tiger Construction is now seeking nearly $20,000 more for a job that the county estimates will only require about 4 yards of cement to repair. Depending upon the PSI, concrete in Bellingham typically costs between $130 to $167 per yard exclusive of delivery and labor costs. Whatcom County bridge and hydraulics engineer James Lee said the public works department “will be pursuing council approval to officially award the bid to Tiger Construction with construction to be completed this summer.”

In a 4-1 vote, the Blaine school board decided to return to in-person meetings without a remote option at its June 20 regular meeting. Board member Erika Creydt dissented. Since governor Jay Inslee issued Proclamation 20-28 February 29, 2020, which required remote access to public meetings, the school board has hosted meetings in a remote and hybrid format via Zoom. However, the governor lifted the requirement June 1, leaving the board to decide whether it would keep the more accessible option. During the board’s May 25 meeting, the board decided to keep the Zoom option available for the June 20 meeting and consider the options for future meetings. Superintendent Christopher Granger said he understood it was the board’s desire to return to pre-pandemic ways. The board approved a motion June 20 that read, “To return to board meeting policies that encourage in-person attendance and participation by citizens and ending makeshift streaming of board meetings.” Much of its decision came down to cost and what other school boards were doing. Granger said the Ferndale school district was the only district in Whatcom County whose school board had a remote option. Granger said the cost of Ferndale’s video production, which is done through video production service Swagit Productions LLC, was $50,000 for the equipment, a one-time payment agreement of $4,890
and a monthly $1,650 management fee. He said cameras and microphones, which are not supplied, would cost from $12,000 to $15,000 and a staff member would need to be paid hourly to run the program. “This would certainly be equivalent to the cost of a teacher’s salary as we look forward to a deficit budget in the future, if we don’t make changes,” Granger said. Creydt said she spoke with a representative from Swagit before the meeting who said the company has multiple packages of varying costs. Board president Dougal Thomas said if they are going to do it, they should spend the money to do it well. Thomas previously said the current Zoom model put added stress on staff. Board member Don Leu, who proposed the motion, said he was also concerned about security and the risk of altered video. Multiple board members said the board could implement virtual meetings in the future, if they see a greater need in the community to do so. During the meeting, the board also adopted new literacy curriculum called myPerspectives to be used at the Blaine High School. According to its website, myPerspectives is an English language arts curriculum for grades 6–12 that values the perspective of the learner, collectively and individually, and provides next-gen learning experiences that promote higher achievement and develop the competencies needed for college and career readiness.

In an effort to connect the community to its rich and fascinating history, the Point Roberts Historical Society has begun placing a series of historical signs around the Point, called the Point Roberts History Trail. These markers highlight historical events and photos, and the first eight of a projected 30 signs were erected on May 6. A map located at the Point Roberts History Center on Gulf Road shows the locations of the signs, providing a fun treasure hunt-like outdoor activity for locals and tourists alike. With over half of border crossers spending less than an hour in the exclave, the history trail enables visitors to spend some time and learn more about the Point’s unique history. This project has been two years in the making. The Point Roberts Historical Society received a grant from Project Neighborly to fund a large part of this phase of the project. Work is well underway on the next batch of signs.

Had to travel at the full moon because of high tides of the Nicomekl River and Boundary Bay. Process took two days because overland travel can only happen after 9 p.m. when Canadian and American roads can be closed.

The Journey The house traveled from South Surrey, along the Nicomekl River through Boundary Bay to Point Roberts. Water travel is much easier than overland travel for house moves because of the utility costs associated with moving wires, etc.

First night move began at 9 p.m. bringing the home from Surrey until 5 a.m. to load the barge at the Nicomekl River.
Do you own or know of a small cabin / house rented in the past, maybe standing empty? If you don’t know the owner’s name, send us the address and we will contact the owner. If we successfully lease or rent the property and you are the first to provide the information you will receive the Finders Reward.
Second night began at 9 p.m. after offloading the barge at the marina and took until 2:30 a.m. to get to the lot on Johnson Road.
Looking For: • Long Term Rental, Single Story, Min. 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, 600 sq.ft with dry storage or 3rd bedroom. Washer / Dryer or Laundry Area with power and exhaust. • Must be Pet OK. We have a 25 lb. 13 yr. old Cocker Spaniel. • Prefer fenced but we can put a temporary fence up if necessary. • Must be in livable condition; we can clean a house dusty from a few years of non-use. • We’re on a fixed budget, but can perhaps help with rent by clearing brambles, improve the landscaping & help with home maintenance. • Our budget is $800 – $1000 a month, would consider rent to own. • We have rented, owned and rented our home to others, and take excellent care of our home, leaving it better than we found it. Excellent references.
On the Canadian side, it required B.C. Hydro, Telus, a utility bucket crew, and an arborist to go ahead of the house to lift lines, prepare crossings, and trim trees. On the American side, it required U.S. Customs and Border Protection (to scan for radiation), Puget Sound Energy to lift lines, Hank’s Backhoe Services to prepare the Johnson Road site and clear the beach, and Gary at Shoreline Electrical Services to clear the 4-way red lights on Tyee Dr.
We need to find a house as soon as possible. Our current landlord has family in Romania close to the war near the Ukrainian Border and they need to sell their house in order to move the family to Canada. Please call 360-945-1365 or email jibsman@icloud.com
House is roughly 2,300 SF – 72 ft. long x 34 ft. wide x 20 ft. high and weighs 145,000 pounds. Primary motivation to “recycle a house” was to preserve a wonderful 50-year-oldcustom home that was otherwise scheduled for demolition. Nickel Bros of Port Coquitlam B.C./Everett WA was responsible for moving the house. Cost of house? One dollar. Nickel Bros. have over 65 years’ of experience as structural movers in the Pacific Northwest. Benefits to recycling? Saved about 90 trees worth of lumber Saved 70 tons from landfill. For the Surrey family, they saved dump and environmental fees of at least $50,000. – Chris and Lijie Tan

s Gene Kiniski’s sons, from l., Nick and Kelly, holding the scroll of honor marking Gene’s induction into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, the first and only wrestler so honored. “Canada’s Greatest Athlete,” as he liked to call himself, Gene Kiniski was formally inducted in B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in a June 9 ceremony held in Vancouver. He was lauded as a pioneer in wrestling, as an icon of the sporting world and is the first wrestler to receive the honor. Kiniski is the father of former professional wrestlers Kelly and Nick Kiniski, both of whom are Point Roberts residents. Kiniski, born in 1928, died April 14, 2010. Also known as Big Thunder, Kiniski was a native of Edmonton and played professional football with the Edmonton Eskimos before embarking on his wrestling career, which debuted with a win on February 13, 1952 in Tucson. He wrestled for the last time in 1992 at the age of 64. In his later years, he teamed
up with his sons. As a wrestler, he was a ‘heel’ character playing the bad guy, a role in which he was more than comfortable. In 1957, he riled up the crowd in Montreal to the point that dozens upon dozens of folding chairs were thrown into the ring. Kiniski won numerous championships including the American Wrestling Association’s world championship (1961), the NWA British Empire Heavyweight title twice and the Pacific Coast Tag Team title three times. He won the Canadian Tag Team title 10 times and the NWA International Heavyweight title in 1970. Additionally, Kiniski occasionally acted on TV and in the movies, appearing in Sylvester Stallone’s Paradise Alley and others. He was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2008.

State launches orca recovery website A new website designed to track recovery efforts for endangered Southern Resident orcas has been launched by the Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office. “The website is an easy way for people to see what’s being done to save the orcas and learn about our unique orca population here in Washington,” commented Tara Galuska, the Governor’s orca recovery coordinator. The website covers the progress of 49 recommendations for recovery from the Governor’s Southern Resident Killer Whale Task Force. It also includes general information about orcas, school curriculum and suggestions for how people can help save the orcas. “It’s important that we save Southern Resident orcas. They are an iconic and treasured species in Washington and throughout the Pacific Northwest. They hold significant cultural value to native tribes and
all Washingtonians,” said Governor Jay Inslee. “If they go extinct, we would suffer an unacceptable loss to our environment, economy and culture. These animals have been sacred to countless generations of people residing here. I don’t want to imagine a state without our beloved orcas.” Southern Resident orcas are unique because they eat mostly Chinook salmon, whereas other orcas have a more diverse diet. They also differ in size, fin shape and markings. In 1995, the Southern Resident population numbered 99 and today numbers 74 whales, the lowest number in more than 30 years. The task force set a goal to increase the number of whales by 10 in 10 years. The website was launched to celebrate June’s Orca Action Month. Visit the website to participate in Orca Action Month activities. Website: orca.wa.gov.

TEACHER’S CORNER The 2021/2022 school year ended with a fun filled field day on a gorgeous sunny day! Students flew their hand made kites, participated in relay races, had a scavenger hunt, ate a picnic lunch, played in the water that was provided by our amazing local fire department and ate popsicles. We were so thankful to be able to return to a long held Point Roberts Primary tradition after navigating many health restrictions this year and we look forward to the return of many other traditions next school year. Have a wonderful summer!

s Rosie Silver.
s Ruby O’Neill. We are proud to congratulate Ruby on her recent graduation from Blaine High School. Ruby is a Blaine school district alumnus who started her studies here in kindergarten at Point Roberts primary. Many of you will already know Ruby as an industrious worker who started babysitting at age 10. Or you may have been served or sassed by Ruby at the now, very missed South Beach House, or still currently slugging it out at Saltwater Cafe. As a loyal alumnus and forever mother hen, she also returned as a leader to the Point Roberts Kids Camp she enjoyed as a child to carry on the tradition as a counselor. Not to mention her side business such as Jewelry with Rosie at Lighthouse Park, some side gardening for neighbors, and her food delivery club – Ruber Eats. While it seems there is a pattern emerging with her entrepreneurial spirit, Ruby can only disclose at this time that her plans for the future remain top secret. We cannot wait to see what becomes of Ruby’s endeavors … we all wish the best of luck to you in what the future brings you, Ruby!
Rosie Silver graduated with Honors from South Delta Secondary School and is heading to Montreal to attend the incredible McGill University to pursue, explore, grow, and embrace the world. We are incredibly proud of her for being authentic, smart, kind-hearted and eager to learn and grow. You’ll do great, Rosie!

In The Garden B y R h ia n n o n A l l e n I’ve encountered many questions lately about how to turn a septic mound into an attractive garden feature. Frankly, I’ve never dealt with this personally. However, I have cultivated rock gardens for most of my adult life, and I think that they offer some of the same opportunities and challenges. When people talk of septic mounds, they refer to Glendon Biofilter and other mound systems installed usually when a high water table doesn’t allow for safe underground sewage distribution. In these systems, the sewage is pumped into one or more above-surface mounds filled with sand held in place by a biodegradable net. The sand filters the sewage so that it is innocuous by the time it reaches the water table. The gardening challenge is that these mounds are frankly hideous, yet there are restrictions on what can be grown in them. Moreover, you can’t cover them with a depth of soil or mulch. Therefore, the gardener is restricted to shallow-rooted drought-tolerant plants that will not infiltrate the sand mound deeply yet will thrive in the fast-draining sand. That’s where the similarity to rockery plants comes in, since so many of these are shallow-rooted plants that survive with excellent drainage, thriving in the small pockets of soil that the gardener inserts at the time of planting for their benefit. They also tend to be low-growing plants, which is perfect because you really don’t want to stack a tall plant on the top of a mound anyway. So let’s start with the lowest-growing plants that should work on a septic mound. Woolly thyme is the first that comes to mind because I’ve actually seen it cultivated happily on a septic mound. It can be grown on a rockery, mound or between pavers as a lovely, gray, slowly-spreading ground cover for sunny areas. There are number of succulents, particularly creeping sedums, that fit the bill also, but my favorite is sedum ‘Angelina’ for its brilliant yellow summer color and autumn bronze. In the slightly taller category, Lithodora’s true-blue late spring blossoms are a big hit with early pollinators like bumble bees.
Like woolly thyme and low sedums, it will spread gradually and is not terribly fond of pruning, so give it elbow room. Helianthemum (sometimes called rock rose or sun rose) is another low, flowering plant. It comes in a variety of warm colors. While it spreads, it does not grow self-rooting branches like Lithodora does, so it doesn’t need as much room. I think that it would look lovely cascading down a sunny septic mound. I’ve grown it in a part-shade rockery, but it is definitely happier in full sun. If we move up to taller plants – those appropriate for planting probably in the lower third of a septic mound – there are lots to choose from. Lavender comes in many varieties and, as I described in a long-ago column, it requires an annual shearing back, which is more maintenance than the plants described earlier. It is well worth the effort for both its visual and aromatic beauty. Like Lithodora, pollinators love it, but it will be frequented by the midsummer crew. If you want to provide late summer pollinator attractants, then Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ and its cultivar cousins will continue to feed pollinators into early autumn. Echinaceas also provide late summer and early autumn interest, and are now available in a variety of colors. Two medium-sized soft purple-flowered plants that might work are Russian sage and Nepeta (catmint). The reason I hesitate is that the recommended planting hole depth for these plants is about the maximum planting depth that is recommended for septic mounds. I would worry that the roots would invade the mound. Many ornamental grasses work well on or around septic mounds. But you would need to consider root depth in these too.
New county parks director selected B y G r ac e M c C a r t h y Following a nationwide search, Whatcom County Executive Satpal Sidhu has selected Bennett Knox to take on the role of director of Whatcom County Parks and Recreation. His appointment requires confirmation by Whatcom County Council. Bennett Knox worked for Louisville Metro Parks for 20 years, most recently as parks administrator for the natural areas division and Jefferson Memorial Forest. For the past 9 years, Bennett also founded and managed the non-profit group Wilderness Louisville, whose mission is
to fundraise and advocate for the Natural Areas Division of Louisville Parks and Recreation. Knox earned a B.S. in Natural Resource Conservation, followed by a M.E.M. at Duke University in Resource Ecology. He is also a Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP). Knox will begin in his new position after Labor Day. Michael McFarlane, the previous director, retired on June 21. Christ Thomsen, parks operations manager, will serve as interim director until Knox assumes the position.
Some of the large Miscanthus or Calamagrostis like ‘Karl Foerster’ might work well as a backdrop for a septic mound. But for planting right on the mound, I think it would work better to use Mexican feathergrass (Stipa), blue oat grass, Elijah blue fescue or bronze mop-head sedge. Many of these are not long-lived in dry sunny conditions, but some self-seed. A great guide to ornamental grasses is available at bluestem.ca/grass-comparison-chart.htm. I’ve also found a number of lovely photographs of grass and mixed grass-perennial plantings on Pinterest and the Four Winds Gardens and Walls Facebook page. If you prefer a wilder, freer look, it is worth considering spreading a thin soil layer on top of the mound and pressing in wildflower seeds. You will need to keep the seeds watered for weeks. Just please make sure that the seed mix you use does not have invasive species in it. West Coast Seeds and American Meadows are both good at assembling seed mixes that work well in our area.

All Point Bulletin • July 2022
Whole lot of people running for federal, state and local offices B y G r ac e M c C a r t h y A full slate of candidates is lined up to run in the August primaries for state legislator, U.S. senator and county district judge positions, among other races. Filing week for the August 2 primary elections ended May 20. The top two candidates in each primary race will advance on to the November general election. Whatcom County Auditor’s Office will mail ballots July 13. 42nd Legislative District Three candidates are running for the two-year 42nd legislative district’s state representative position 1 seat. Incumbent Alicia Rule (D-Blaine) is up against Kamal Bhachu (R-Blaine) and Tawsha Thompson (R-Lynden). Four candidates are running for the twoyear 42nd legislative district’s state representative position 2 seat. Kyle Christensen (R-Sumas), Daniel Johnson (R-Laurel), Richard May (D-Blaine) and Joe Timmons (D-Bellingham) are vying for the empty seat. Current state representative Sharon Shewmake (D-Bellingham) is running for the district’s state senate position. Whatcom County Council appointed incumbent Simon Sefzik (R-Ferndale) to the 42nd legislative district’s state senate seat in January following late state senator Doug Ericksen’s death (R-Ferndale). Two candidates are challenging Sefzik for the seat; Ben Elenbaas (R-Custer) and Sharon Shewmake (D-Bellingham). Russell Dzialo, who previously said he was running as an independent, announced on Facebook in late February that he would no longer be running for state senate to focus on family. Whatcom County District Court Angela Anderson is running unopposed for the four-year Whatcom County District Court judge position 1 seat. County council appointed Anderson last July to
fulfill David Grant’s position. Gordon Jenkins, David Nelson and Jonathan Rands are running for the four-year Whatcom County District Court judge position 2 seat. Current position 2 judge Matthew Elich, who has served the position since 2001, is not running for re-election. Public Utility District No. 1 Commissioner District 3: Blaine city councilmember Eric Davidson and Blaine resident Jaime Arnett are running for the Public Utility District No. 1 seat. Incumbent Mike Murphy withdrew from the election after filing to run. Whatcom County Prosecutor Whatcom County prosecutor Eric Richey (D) is running unopposed to retain his seat. Washington state Secretary of State Eight candidates are running for the Washington state Secretary of State seat, including incumbent Steve Hobbs (D-Lake Stevens). Hobbs was appointed to the position last year after former Republican secretary of state Kim Wyman joined President Joe Biden’s administration. The candidate will serve the remaining two years of the four-year term. U.S. Senator Eighteen candidates are vying for the U.S. Senate seat held by 29-year incumbent Patty Murray (D). U.S. Representative Ten candidates are running for 2nd Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives currently held by 21year incumbent Rick Larsen (D). The 2nd Congressional District will encompass north Whatcom County in the redistricting map approved by the state legislature in February. North Whatcom County has been represented by U.S. Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (D) sitting in the 1st Congressional District.

Church News By Gina Gaudet Not long ago I read an interesting meditation on the circulatory system – specifically, how a drop of blood journeys without end from the center of the heart to the far reaches of the body, the fingers, the toes, etc., and then back again to the heart. The purpose of this journey of circulation is to move the nourishment found in freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs into all the various parts of the body. As the blood makes its rounds with its deliveries of fresh oxygen to organs, muscles and other tissues, it naturally depletes, and ultimately returns to the heart which, through its muscular pumping action, re-oxygenates the blood and sends it on its way once again. And again. And so on. What makes this scientific story a meditation is that it is a metaphor for the spiritual life. The heart, appropriately, is the temple of God, the church, the body of Christ. It is where we go to be fed with the gifts of the spirit: love and acceptance, care and support, relief and healing, encouragement and empowerment. When we are filled and fulfilled, when we are cared for, healed and empowered, we can then return to the journey, wherein we take this enriched blood with us to nourish people and situations which can often be joyful and fulfilling, but also demanding of our resources. What resonated so strongly with me about this metaphoric meditation is that it teaches that when life gets too difficult or demanding, we are invited to return to the heart. To put our focus there, to quietly breathe – in and out – and regain joy and peace. It was the research of the HeartMath Institute that discovered the neural (brain) cells in the heart, and determined that the electromagnetic field of the heart is five thousand times more powerful than that of the brain. While it is tempting to say, “Hmm. Let’s think about that for a moment,” perhaps it’s more appropriate to ask, “Hmm. How does that make you feel?” Then, instead of looking quizzically up to the ceiling, we might put a hand over the heart, close the

eyes and take a soft, deep breath that ends with a sigh. Now, that feels right. HeartMath has developed a series of breath work techniques that enable the individual to achieve a state of coherence, in which the nervous system is synchronized, and regenerating hormones are released. In this state, signals to the brain move through the emotional and higher brain centers, opening the door to uplifting emotions, and enabling access to intuitive insight. These techniques all begin with focused breathing, visualizing the breath entering and leaving the heart until it is felt that coherence is achieved. In spiritual terms, coherence can be described as that feeling of being firmly grounded in the spirit, nourished and cherished, and ready to move out into the world to do the healing, transformative work of spirit. Breath work in itself is transformative. It can renew and refresh the body, focus the mind and settle the soul. In the second creation story of Genesis, the creating God forms the first human from the soil of the earth, literally breathes life into this form, and thus we come into being. And we all know that without breath we cannot live. One of the Greek terms for spirit in the Bible is pneuma, which means breath. We cannot live without spirit either. Breath is what puts oxygen into the blood, which is moved by the heart throughout the body in its continuous journey to bring nourishment and refreshment to the organs and tissues of the body. Which is where this little essay begins, so in effect we have circled – or circulated – back to our beginning! The journey of heart, breath and blood is fascinating and inspiring. Would you like to spend some time exploring this? If you would like to leave a voicemail (360/9457105) or email (tclc2@whidbey.com), we will plan an evening of spiritual journey through breath and heart. In the meantime, take time, once in a while, to breathe with awareness and tune into your heart. It may be one evening, but it is part of a life journey.
