A 68-year-old Tsawwassen man can count himself lucky to be alive after suf fering a heart attack just seconds after be ing cleared through U.S. customs at Point Roberts on Sunday, August 14 about 2:15 p.m. After cycling up the 56th Street hill with his wife, the man’s heart went into ventricular fibrillation. CBP officers saw him fall from his bicycle and, along with his wife, who is a nurse, immediately be gan administering CPR to him. Ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) in which un synchronized heart signals cause the low er heart chambers to twitch uselessly. As a result, the heart doesn’t pump blood to the rest of the body. Ventricular fibrillation is an emergency that requires immediate medical attention and is the most frequent cause of sudden cardiac death.

Local emergency medical technicians from the Point Roberts fire department ar rived on scene at 2:23 p.m., just five min utes after receiving the dispatch call and took over treatment of the man who had no pulse and wasn’t breathing. EMTs ad ministered two shocks using an Automat ed External Defibrillator (AED) at which point his heart started beating and he be gan breathing again. Care was taken over upon the arrival of the county’s Medic 45, which carried Point Roberts fire chief Christopher Carleton (who is also a trained paramedic). The patient was then intubated with a breath ing tube prior to the arrival of the Airlift Northwest helicopter approximately 1015 minutes after Medic 45 had arrived. He was then flown to PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham. The man was subsequently discharged from the ICU and transferred to the cardiac care unit, ac cording to chief Carleton. His name cannot be released without his permission.Hisexperience is eerily similar to that of Canadian Jim Graham who also col lapsed at the border after riding a bike up the 56th Street hill on June 7, 2015.

Conditionally approved Nexus mem bers who re-applied for membership be fore their card’s expiry date will now have a five-year grace period to complete their interview and receive a new card. That also applies to new applicants although they will not enjoy Nexus benefits until they actually receive a card allowing them to use the Nexus lanes. The previous grace period was two years. Applicants might need that grace peri od. Most enrollment centers in the U.S. show no open interview slots until well into 2023 and some show no slots open between now and 2030. According to CBP spokesperson Jason Givens, “Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, SENTRI, NEXUS, FAST) are currently experienc ing unprecedented increased numbers of application submissions. For example, in July 2022, CBP received an average of 11,500 new and renewal applications ev ery day. These events have created an ex tensive processing and interview backlog that CBP continues to diligently work hard to Accordingreduce.” to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) spokesperson Rebecca Purdy, there are currently 339,887 Nexus and 10,698 FAST applicants waiting for an interview as of August 9.

The issue of legal protections for U.S. officers was raised in an April 21 story in the All Point Bulletin in which Purdy was specifically asked if the issue of carrying weapons while on duty was the reason why the two governments had failed to reach an agreement to re-open the ECs. Avoideding the question, Purdy replied that “the CBSA and the U.S. CBP are working together to mitigate the impact on members caused by the extended closures of the enrollment centers.”AU.S./Canada Preclearance agreement that went into effect in 2019 authorized U.S. officers working in Canadian airports NEXUS ...

ning, Green House has protected the rights of eldercare communities by destigmatiz ing aging and humanizing care through the creation of radically non-institution al eldercare environments that empower the lives of people who live and work in them.”Bythe end of this year our goal is to have a location, have completed a market fea sibility analysis and a financial feasibility study. We are following the guidelines of the Green House Project (GHP), who have established three contractual phases in which they collaborate with their partners. We have not yet signed a contract with GHP, as we need to satisfy the first phase, called early development: a market feasi bility analysis, financial feasibility study, design charette, stakeholder connections. Our greatest challenge will be staffing, a North America-wide problem. We are addressing this issue now by looking at long term rental availability and proactive ly recruiting local and statewide Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) trainees. We are also researching other solutions. There are questions we will not be able to answer until phase one is complete. We believe that we can realize our vision with your support and participation.

The top cause of kid ney failure is diabetes. Without dialysis or a kidney transplant, end-stage renal dis ease (ESRD) is fatal. In 1972, Congress extended Medicare coverage to almost all ESRD patients, regardless of age. Since then, the program has grown from 10,000 beneficiaries to more than 600,000 today, with an annual price tag of more than $50 billion. Preventative measures, obviously, would save a lot of money, in addition to manyPeoplelives.with diabetes have a lot to juggle to manage their health care because dia betes raises the risk of other problems in addition to kidney disease, including heart attacks, strokes, nerve damage and vision loss. That may sound overwhelming, but the good news is steps you take to prevent one of those complications can help pre vent them all. While the program Common Threads Farm is not specific to diabetes preven tion, it effectively combats the condition through the promotion of connecting kids to healthy food in the garden, in the kitch en and at the table – it sets kids up for a life of healthy eating. Contact Laura Plaut for information and to learn about volun teer opportunities: laura.plaut@common threadsfarm.org.MostCommon Threads programs take place on public school grounds, during the school day in collaboration with teachers and food service staff. Washington State University offers a data-proven, results-oriented diabetes pre vention program – participants learn sim ple skills to achieve diabetes prevention goals in a supportive group.

The Editor: Yikes! The story of the cyclist collapsing in eart distress! I have lived on Cape Cod, Massachusetts since 1985, but as a teen living in Tsawwassen in the ’70s, I often rode my bike up the hill. I recently helped a fellow, along with my daughter, in Ipswich, Massachusetts at the beach. It was hot, he walked onto the beach and seemed unsteady putting his gear down. My daughter took the beach chair off of his back. All he wanted was to go for his swim. That’s it. We walked with him to the water’s edge. Exchanged names and a chuckle. We were his angels, he said. He kissed my cheek to thank me for my kindness, went in the wa ter and without drama took a dip and then another. But then it was still. He was gone. As I think of the fellow at the border … and the beach fellow, I think so much we all have to look out for each other. Hoping the man from Tsawwassen will fully recover.

“Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teach er.”Much of William Word sworth’s poetry reveals his deep wonder at the world of nature. His conviction was that a con nection to nature is critical for living a life of fulfillment, security and morality. Though poetry has long faded as a cultural catalyst, poets remain among my mentors. Another nature lover, and mentor to me, is my closest neighbor, Kathleen McInnes, in whose garden I have seen wonders and found inspiration. Originally from Los Angeles, it was when Kathleen visited the Olympic National Forest that she fell in love with the nature of the northwest. “Especially moss,” she laughs. “This sparked me to leave Los Angeles forHerSeattle.”lifechanged again when a friend took her bungee jump ing over the Nanaimo River on Vancouver Island where she met her husband, Chuck. These two adventurers moved to Vancouver, but they had a shared goal for something more. “When I was living in Kitsilano,” Kath leen says, “it was my dream to have a back yard habitat. I read book after book.” And so, they found Point Roberts and in three quarters of an acre, have developed a ha ven of a habitat for wildlife. “The Point is a natural habitat already – when you’re connected to nature it’s constantly fasci nating.” of the point G G I ths (Please turn to the next page)
B y M ar

It seems natural that in tandem with a devotion to nature, Kathleen lives a re flective life. “My mother raised me with a practice of yoga and meditation.” As a yoga teacher in Point Roberts, Kathleen has shared her love of yoga and meditation with our community for 16 years. This dovetails with the fulfillment she finds in nature. The fulfillment that Wordsworth so deeply believed comes from nature. The design of Kathleen’s garden has pur pose. She has chosen thoughtfully, with plantings that attract a variety of species. When I ask her what she plants for the birds, this is her answer, off the top of her head. “The elderberry shrub is loved by most birds, but especially the cedar wax wings, white crowned and song sparrows and finches. And if it’s an Adams elderber ry, it will also attract butterflies. Weigela and honeysuckle for the hummingbirds, raspberries and blueberries for robins, finches and sparrows, kale seed heads are loved by the American Goldfinch. Arbutus berries for the varied thrush, sunflower seeds for the grosbeaks, chickadees and downy woodpeckers. Cotoneaster ber ries in winter for thrushes, robins and to whees.”Fora neophyte birder, living next door to Kathleen is the mountaintop. I hear an unfamiliar bird call and she instantly iden tifies it. Chuck has mounted a bat house high on a post by the Arbutus tree. We need bats. They dine on mosquitos. We need all the creatures found in a backyard habitat and many are struggling to survive. Kathleen’s overriding focus now is the plight of the pollinators – the bees and butterflies. “We want to keep eat ing and we know that vegetables and fruit need pollinators. They support us and we need to support them.” Her reading these days includes vora cious dives into The Xerces Society, liter ature, whose goal is to protect pollinators and expand their habitats. “I start reading and I can’t stop.” She is eager to promote ideas that will benefit our community. “If we all did just a little ... an area in your yard dedicated to pollinators, with native seeds, shrubs and trees, where an insect can make its home – nesting and laying the larvae which feed on the nectar of the native plant.” And here’s the part I like best – it’s okay to get a little messy in the garden. What if not every leaf was raked in the fall? What if a patch of them – or even all of them –was left until the first frost? It’s in these fallow leaves that insects and bees nest. I left the cottonwood leaves where they fell. I left them all winter and the sky did not fall. In the spring, after a few mows, they just seemed to mulch in. The “No Mow May” movement is easy to get on board with. For that one month in late spring, not mowing your lawn will allow the wildflowers and clover to bloom and provide nectar for the native bees emerging from hibernation. With Kath leen’s encouragement, I left large swaths of my lawn alone, and I didn’t stop with May. All through summer and on into fall, the only mowing was to create meandering paths through the now tall grass. Kathleen has left several decaying logs in her yard, around which she has land scaped and in which bees make their homes. Mason bees in particular love this woodsyThanksopportunity.tohergarden wisdom, Kathleen s Author, l., with Kathleen McInnes Photo by Chuck McInnes and I now have a connected habitat. Our two yards blend seamlessly with a large bed of native wildflowers, sown expressly for the Turningpollinators.lawninto a habitat for the bees and butterflies is a simple process. “First you remove the grass,” Kathleen says, “which is easily done with black plastic or with layered mulch, which is cardboard covered by bark mulch to inhibit the grass growth. Leave it through one growing sea son, remove the dead grass and sow the native seeds.”
I’m walking with Kathleen through clouds of lavender and Joe Pye weed, where the loud hum of bees is intense and industrious. A tall stand of softly purple milkweed nurtures the Monarch butter flies. It takes about a year to see the results of sowing a wildflower meadow, and each year the seeds will just keep multiplying. The source of the seeds is: northwestmead owscapes.com.“Chuckand I are a good team,” Kath leen says, “because we both love this and he does a lot of the work.” He dug the pond dotted with waterlilies and created the waterfall where dragonflies and other insects gather and where a pair of mallards raise their young every year. They have created a little paradise where I can hear the words of the English phi losopher, John Ruskin, a devotee of Word sworth.“It is the poetry of Nature which uplifts the spirit within us. And which opens to our imagination a world of spiri tual beauty and holiness.”

Life in Point Roberts was never the same after September 1982. Forty years ago this September, a supermarket and a bank opened for the first time in the exclave. Prior to this, mom and pop stores offered a limited selection of groceries on the Point, and residents often traveled to Delta or Bellingham to shop for food, requiring border declarations on the trip home. The arrival of the first supermarket ushered in a convenience which brought Point Roberts into the modern world. Frozen foods like ice cream became easier to buy compared to soggy trips home from mainland stores. Businesses throughout Point Roberts and Tsawwassen, some of which competed for food sales, took out ads in the paper wel coming the new store to the community. Initially named Mark & Pak, the super market occupied the south part of today’s store footprint. Three years later, the name changed to Point Roberts Marketplace. In 1992, the store expanded to its cur rent size, growing from 14,000 to 35,000 square feet, and updated its name to the International Marketplace. The expansion introduced new point of sale scanners, the delicatessen with its seating area, a larg er butcher shop and even a travel agency. To conform to the character plan, ropewrapped pilings were added to the front entrance. in the summer of 1995, an effort to give the store the look of a vintage coun try store saw the painting of the mural by Eddie Buendia at the north entrance. In the same month, the Point’s first bank branch opened in the footprint of today’s Umpqua Bank. In an era before debit cards, ATMs and online banking, banking re quired crossing the border at least to Tsaw wassen if not all the way to the mainland during bank hours. The bank has been owned and operated under several brands over the years, and many corrsponding TV commercials featured local residents. Together, the 1982 addition of the su
Forty years of bank and supermarket convenience B y M ark s W enson permarket and eventual bank branch in troduced conveniences which made life in our isolated community easier, saving time and border complexities. They also brought many new jobs to the community. At the time, Point Roberts still had just a couple of gas pumps, but this would grow to 60 pumps beginning the following year. Soon, instead of locals leaving the exclave for errands, visitors were entering the Point for its services, contributing to sig nificant increases in border crossing vol umes and wait times. Stop by the History Center on Gulf Road on Saturdays to share your stories of life on the Point before these modern conve niences were introduced. Two newspapers , 10 years apart.

and pupae of a number of pollinators. Sadly, if you don’t leave the garden de bris, these beneficials will die along with the pests like slugs. Your best bet is to let the litter lie. One thing exempt from the ‘leave it’ program are leaves of plants prone to diseases. For example, peonies are suscep tible to Botrytis, a nasty fungus that blights new leaves. After the growing season, cut peonies down to the soil level and remove all fallen leaves, putting everything into your landfill bin and not your compost. Hellebores are also prone to devast ing disease, and should receive the same treatment. Because Hellebores retain green foliage through the winter, this work can be done at any time before the emergence of new leaves. My preference is to leave healthy-looking leaves until the winter months, making sure that the old leaves are off to the landfill before new shoots emerge.Many roses round out the list of plants to include in fall cleanup. If you have a rose that regularly develops black spot on its leaves, then by all means, prune off and rake up leaves, waving them off to the landfill as well. The last big garden clean up task is har vesting fruit and vegetables so that they do not sit in the garden and rot – unless you really want to attract raccoons, hornets, and other pests. If you haven’t finished pulling your allium (garlic, shallots, on ions), now is the time to do it. Old rasp berry canes that have already fruited can be cut back now, but first check to make sure what variety you have and whether it is a variety that should be fall-pruned. Po tatoes should be dug up, cleaned and dried before being stored. (Save the small ones for next spring’s seed potatoes!) Other de bris can be left in your food garden until spring; although my preference is not to leave a lot of leaves for slugs and their eggs to hide under. Now relax! Did you know that the next Point Rob erts Garden Tour has been deferred until late June 2024, after which it will transition to a leap year event. Since the tour almost always includes the gardens of part-time residents, the Tour Committee wanted to give them two full summers back in their gardens before prepping for the tour.

Once again, it’s the time of year when my sister asks me if I have started my fall garden cleanup and how I put my garden to bed. And every year, she is not alone in believing that I still say, “Nothing.” That’s right, I don’t really do fall cleanup. It’s not completely out of laziness. Current horticultural advice is to cut fall maintenance to the bare minimum in order to mimic natural landscape ecolo gy and encourage a healthy environment. For example, while leaves and branches should be removed from lawns lest they smother the grass, they should be left un disturbed in other areas just as they would be in nature. There are several reasons for this. First, a layer of leaves and garden lit ter forms a protective layer for frost-sensi tive plants. Second, that layer forms a nat ural mulch that inhibits the germination of weed seeds. Over the next three seasons, that layer gradually breaks down, and all the carbon and nutriments in it begin to enrich the soil beneath. If you have bro ken the litter down into smaller pieces (for example, by running it through a chipper or running the lawnmower over it), this process will be sped up. However, this isn’t necessary. The most I ever do is crumble dried large material into smaller bits just using my hands. And by the way, treat this mulch like you would treat commer cial organic mulch, keeping it away from your immediate house perimeter and the base of trees and shrubs. As an additional precaution, remove any obviously diseased litter and put it in your landfill bin. By the time spring rolls around, this nat ural mulch will have provided a habitat for microbes and small fauna. It’s true that slugs and wood lice will overwinter in the litter, but so do beneficial organisms. We are seeing catastrophic declines in insect and insectivore life, and leaving that litter is one small contribution towards saving the planet as we know it. As a personal bonus, many of these microbes and small fauna are actually helping the litter to break down into a fertilizing mulch, much like what happens in your compost bin. If you have an older child or can find the curious child in yourself, then bit. ly/3P57jTM has a great tutorial and activ ity suggestions on leaf-litter fauna. Other denizens of leaf litter include the larvae

June 28, 1944 – March 28, 2022 It’s with great sadness we announce the loss of our friend Craig Reed. Most of you remember him as the guy in the black Mer cedes cruising around Point Roberts. Al though he lived a longer life than he ever expected, he did pass away suddenly at the gym he frequented in Tsawwassen after the borderCraigreopened.wasraised and lived throughout the Pacific Northwest, usually never far from a golf course and/or near water. So, it’s no wonder he wanted to call Point Rob ertsHehome.was drafted for two years from 1966-1968 as a ground medic in the Viet nam War. After his service, he came back to Washington to study business at the University of Washington. From there, he started a lifelong career in human re sources, finance, banking, accounting and then as a commercial broker. He married twice and is survived by his step son (Ju lias Gaite) who lives in Sacramento, Cali fornia.Ten years ago, Craig’s dear friends Wayne and Linda Knowles introduced him to Point Roberts and from that mo ment on he was home. With Wayne’s help, Linda’s caring disposition and the support of many neighbors, locals and some Cana dian friends, he was settled and so happy to be in Point Roberts. He lived the major ity of these years in the condos at the golf course. He loved having visitors, golfers to watch, great neighbors and being sur rounded by the natural beauty of the Point. Throughout his long life, his passions were traveling, fixing up older cars, boat ing, wintering in Asia (the last few years before Covid), road trips, cooking dinners, James Bond and hanging out with friends for hours of thoughtful conversation. Craig’s greatest strength and pleasure came from many lifelong friendships. Some have passed too soon, but those of us remaining, gathered in Seattle last month for a meaningful day of stories, food and boating in his honor! We can’t thank everyone in Point Roberts enough for their help and support during this time and for the years of friendship shared with Craig. You made his last years here so happy and memorable. Craig is preceded in death by his mother Elaine Granroth-Hews, step-father Rich ard Hews and many life-long friends to include Wayne Knowles and John Henry Lysaker. RIP our forever friends, forever loved! 3:30 am 2.0 9:50 am 7.3 3:09 pm 4.3 9:11 pm 8.8 Fr 2 4:16 am 1.2 11:08 am 7.3 3:53 pm 5.5 9:35 pm 8.8 5:10 am 0.6 12:44 pm 7.6 4:53 pm 6.5 10:09 pm 8.7 4 6:10 am 0.0 2:24 pm 8.1 6:17 pm 7.3 10:53 pm 8.6 Mo 7:16 am -0.6 3:40 pm 8.7 8:01 pm 7.5 6 12:01 am 8.4 8:22 am -1.0 4:32 pm 9.1 9:25 pm 7.2 1:29 am 8.2 9:22 am -1.4 5:12 pm 10:25 pm am 10:18 am -1.4 pm 11:15 pm am 11:10 am pm 12:01 am am 11:58 am -0.5 pm 12:43 am am 12:42 pm pm am am am am am 11:43 am pm 9:24 pm am pm pm 9:50 pm am pm pm 10:26 pm am pm pm 11:40 pm am
