Community barbecue forges ties between local congregations S t o ry a n d P h o t os B y M e g O l so n
s Logan Davis, r., and Gabe Hunter set up a lemonade stand for passersby in Blaine.
s From l., Jovee Adams, Karlyann Adams and Evelyn Aamot perpare to sell lemonade in Blaine.
The Islamic Center of Blaine welcomed dozens of neighbors and members of other congregations to a community barbecue. Islamic center president Bashir Patel said the July 30 event was part of their commitment to forge strong ties in the community and “let people know who we are.” Established in 2014, the center serves approximately 20 families, with prayer services five times per day, social events and children’s activities. While they do not have a full time Imam at this time, Patel said one visits the center regularly on Fridays and as needed to lead prayer and provide counseling. Patel said the event was also
meant to help encourage more interfaith ties like the one the center has with the First Congregational Church of Bellingham.
The center proudly displays a banner from that congregation with messages of unity such as “God Loves Us All.”
s Guests were treated to a wide variety of foods, from hotdogs to a traditional dish of spiced milk and vermicelli, often eaten after the Ramadan fasts because it is easy on empty stomachs.

DIRECTORY
The Washington State Department of Transportation is preparing to replace a culvert beneath Blaine Road that will likely close both lanes for a few days later this month. The project will allow salmon and other species of fish to accuss a couple of miles of habitat in an unnamed creek between Hall Road and Hoyt Street, just south of Dakota Creek. WSDOT’s website says it will require a three-day closure. Spokesperson Marqise Allen said it will likely be closed sometime August 15 to 19. The project could take weeks and will also require single-lane closures, but it must be completed by August 31 to not interfere with fish runs.
BUSINESS & PROFESSIONAL
Crews will replace an existing 3-foot diameter culvert with a 12-foot-wide, 6-foot-tall box culvert. They’ll also need to repave the highway after installing the new culvert. Tiger Construction is doing the work, according to WSDOT. U.S. District Court for Western Washington ruled in 2013 that the state must not build or operate culverts that hinder fish passage under state road. The culvert on Blaine road is one of 850 in the state that are subject to that ruling. The city of Blaine must also relocate some utility lines to accommodate the project. “For us it’s not really a big issue at all. It’s just a standard utility relocate,” said Bill Bullock, assistant public works director.
