Feeling welcomed, feeling safe Connect Ferndale brings growth, connection to community

By Leora Watson leora@lyndentribune.com

FERNDALE — Cultivating community growth and connection through civic participation to honor diversity, advance inclusion and encourage participation in the Ferndale community are some of the goals Connect Ferndale hopes to achieve.

Connect Ferndale formed in 2019 after a local group displayed stickers around Ferndale with hateful and unwelcoming mes-

sages targeting particular groups of people, according to Anya Milton, education committee chair of Connect Ferndale and executive director of the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce.

“It just really upset a lot of us,” said Milton. “We just kind of organically started talking about it and decided to form a group to see if there was something we could do to help ensure that Ferndale continues to be a welcoming place.”

Connect Ferndale began with the idea that if neighbors connect with people different from them, relationships are built that create lasting safety and trust for all community members.

“The goal from the beginning was to build a culture in our city where people feel welcomed and they feel safe,” said Milton.

Anya Milton, Joan Youngquist, Rebecca Xczar and Sara O’Connor, from left, are members of the leadership team for Connect Ferndale. (Leora Watson/Ferndale Record) To achieve this goal, Connect Ferndale prioritized four areas of connection: education, city government, policing and community engagement.

“The four areas that we’ve

chosen are to try to get at some of the main kinds of structure,” said Sara O’Connor, policing committee co-chair of Connect Ferndale and executive director for Ferndale Community Services. “We’re

thinking about the structure of how a community is built but we’re also thinking about actions that people can take to promote inclusion so that people have space to be represented or to participate in an activity.”

For education, Connect Ferndale hopes to promote and model their mission within the Ferndale School District by attending school board meetings to represent relevant issues and perspectives and engage with young leaders to support their efforts and collaborate on systemic change.

“What we’re hoping to do as a committee is to promote the mission within the Ferndale School District and the larger community,” said Milton. “And so what See Connect Ferndale on A5

Ferndale announces 2022 Summer of Fun parks activities The City of Ferndale has announced a full slate of summer parks activities for 2022, a list that includes everything from acrobats to a Metallica cover band.

Participants can enjoy movies, food, live music and activities in Ferndale’s parks almost every weekend throughout the summer.

“I know everyone is ready to cut loose and have fun in the parks this year,” said Mayor Greg Hansen. “Once again, Ferndale has an incredible line up of free, family-friendly activities ready to go.”

This year, Ferndale’s parks events are made possible in part by the generous support of WECU, a local credit union serving Whatcom County for more than 80 years.

Activities Food Truck Fridays will be held on the first Friday of each summer month (June 3, July 1, Aug. 5 and Sept. 2) at Pioneer Village, next to Star Park. Food trucks from around Whatcom County will be selling hot meals starting at 5:30 p.m.

Daycares allowed just about everywhere Ferndale expects to a small participant in state’s opioid lawsuit settlement

By Cal Bratt For the Record

FERNDALE -- Day care centers will soon be allowed outright in most zones throughout Ferndale.

Council took that strong action Monday, citing a need for daycare operations that has only deepened through the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The impetus behind this is, we have a

daycare desert in Whatcom County,” said Michael Cerbone, community development director, and he hopes the action will “lower barriers” toward creating more daycare facilities for children.

Seven development zones are affected, ranging from residential-office to mixed-use commercial and regional retail. Ones that raised some questions by Ferndale Planning Commission members, who acted in March, are the City Center and Light Industrial zones, but even those gained support.

Cerbone noted that it has become quite common for large retailers such as IKEA and Target stores to offer daycare for their employees, and churches have long offered childcare services -- the opportunity has just now been made easier.

Previously, sometimes daycare was allowed as part of a conditional-use permit for a zone.

By city definition, a “family day care” is one conducted in the licensee’s home as a secondary use, and these types are regulated by the state of Washington.

Council was unanimous in favor of the relaxation of rules, after Mayor Greg Hansen conducted a public hearing at which no one spoke.

The changes become effective five days after publication in the legal notices of the Ferndale Record.

• The council also unanimously agreed to enter into a memorandum of See Daycares on A3

Driver of stolen vehicle hits WCSO patrol car – twice WHATCOM – At approximately 4:20 p.m. Thursday, April 14, Whatcom County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a stolen vehicle traveling in the area of Henry and Kickerville roads.

According to a media release from Deb Slater, community programs coordinator

with the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office, deputies attempted to contact the driver of the vehicle at the intersection of Slater Road and Haxton Way while the vehicle was stopped at a red light.

“Instead, the driver of the stolen vehicle rammed a deputy’s patrol car head-

on,” the media release stated. “The driver then backed up and again rammed into the same patrol car a second time, moving the patrol car sideways on the roadway.

The driver accelerated and maneuvered around the damaged patrol car and fled northbound on Haxton Way.”

According to the WCSO release, deputies “followed with lights and sirens engaged.”

“The driver continued to elude law enforcement, traveling at about 40-50 miles See Driver on A3

Cherry Blossom Festival returns to Ferndale The Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival emerged from Ferndale’s longstanding sister city relationship with Minamiboso, a small coastal town in Japan.

understanding that will guide any statewide payout of money from legal settlement with four pharmaceutical companies related to the opioid epidemic.

City Administrator Jori Burnett spoke to a process that all counties and many cities in Washington are going through, as claims are expected to be finalized soon.

A formula uses as factors: the amount of opioids shipped to a county, the number of opioid deaths that occurred there, and the number of people that suffer Opioid Use Disorder in that county. An exhibit in the memorandum shows Ferndale getting 0.06461% of the statewide distribution.

Burnett said that, even if not all issues are completely resolved yet, “we felt that

getting our place in line would be the least risky.”

Whatcom County’s share of the statewide total -- expected to be overall in the multi-millions of dollars -- is 2.39%.

• The city will be part of a cooperative purchasing program of the HoustonGalveston Area Council that enables streamlined sourcing of certain materials and services, with discounts.

• The city is moving on the design, engineering and construction management of a covered 50-by-100-foot stormwater decant facility. A contract with Gray & Osborne is for $297,500, with a state grant covering 75% of that.

per hour,” the release stated. “Spike strips were deployed, successfully deflating all tires on the vehicle. The vehicle was safely stopped by a PIT maneuver by deputies in a Ferndale neighborhood. An involved deputy sustained minor injuries.”

The driver, 27-year-old Jessica Shockey from Blaine, was taken into custody without incident and booked into Whatcom County Jail for two counts of first-degree assault, attempting to elude a police vehicle, and third-degree possession of stolen property.

According to data from Washington State Patrol, vehicle thefts have increased in 2022. The number of motor vehicles reported stolen countywide in Whatcom County (not just in unincorporated areas) exceeds statewide increases.

A comparison of auto theft cases for year-to-date 2021 (prior to legislation taking effect) and 2022 reflect an increase of more than 331%.

A comparison of March 2021 to March 2022 alone reflects a 600% increase which demonstrates this problem continues to rise.

Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo said he attributes the increase in reported vehicle theft to “2021 legislation that prohibits law enforcement from pursuing stolen vehicles and inadequate jail space that has resulted in an inability to hold most property crime offenders in custody.

“At this point, consequences for stealing cars are very limited, thieves are emboldened and, in this case, were brazen enough to commit a felonious assault upon a deputy who tried to stop the vehicle,” Elfo said.

GUEST OPINION

GUEST OPINION

Demanding ‘unreasonable sustainability’ Have you heard of gossamer spider webs?

Although they shimmer in the dewy morning sunlight, nevertheless they entrap the unsuspecting.

Have you been caught in a gossamer web put out by the Whatcom Conservation District?

Recently Doris Smith you may have received a glossy eight-page spread in the mail. Isn’t it wonderful that we live in such a photogenic area?

The poor people of this county whose homes were flooded with dairy sewage bursting from popped containment tanks don’t think that glossy conservation district spreads and billionaire-funded environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGO’s) are spot-on in resolving the fundamental root problem of flooding in this county.

In fact, we are coming to realize these groups ARE themselves the problem.

They are entrapment firms.

Let’s examine their word sustainability. What are they really talking about? Why does it sound benign to us? This word first began to be used when western countries hypocritically said they were interested in helping third world countries develop.

Instead of helping them industrialize, and honestly saying we did not want them to thrive like we had done (by making war machines to win World War II), we coyly and slyly told them, “You must have sustainable development.”

Now, let’s ask: What is that supposed to mean? Were they supposed to come up with a self-perpetuating means of production? Think of the words I am using here: self-perpetuating for sustainable and production as a synonym for development.

If a person or an industry is

producing something, it is making something completely new for the benefit of mankind. Making something new brings together a creative impulse, a person’s skill and capital. Production is the start of something new and exciting.

By contrast, the word sustainable in its grammatical construction indicates a selfperpetuating existence — an existence which cannot be true of people. We have a personal beginning, which is our birth, just as the things we produce have a generation point. Nothing that we know about has had a selfperpetual or self-perpetuating existence except God. Thus, such an idea as self-perpetuating productivity (sustainable development) is an oxymoron and a contradiction of concepts.

To demand that third world countries be sustainable defies reality. They must have a beginning point. And the U.S. refused to help them with this.

Sustainable development is a very unfair demand to make upon both them and us.

Look at what such a demand has wrought: many of those countries are prostrate. The people are dispirited and destitute. Their homes are in ruins.

Their feeble industrial systems are not only demoralized, but overthrown. This condition has become true not only of third world countries, but now is true of America, Washington State, and in particular, Whatcom County, through flooding, homelessness, drugs, rape, murder, loss of income, meaningless work, junk cars, gambling, nose rings, and inflation, which is eating our pocketbooks.

Our country has worked out others’ demise, and now we reap the reward by becoming a third world country ourselves. Unless we realize the wealthy are demanding an unreasonable sustainability, we will not dredge the river.

Thank you twice Editor, A friend sent us a photo of her copy of your newspaper with the article: “Jehovah’s Witnesses return to in-person meetings.” We wanted to share it with others. However, in the photo the text was not legible. So I was grateful to find the article on your website.

I’d like to thank you twice: Thank you very much for publishing the article, and, thank you for your policy of allowing access to some free content. It was helpful to be able to share the article in a format that was easy to read — on your site.

A love letter to Lynden Editor, We moved to Lynden after retiring because (one reason) my husband Bob loved high school sports and especially Lynden High School sports.

We had such a wonderful 20 years commuting back to Bellingham for our church and our family but volunteering and being avid Lyndenites, we were

within walking distance to both high schools, so we saw many events at both schools.

After Bob died in 2020, daughter Sunny and I decided we needed to move back to Bellingham, our home town and home church.

We will be leaving this community but we will always admire and love Lynden and all its people.

Reader offers support of Sen. Sefzik Editor, The recent severe flooding experienced by the people of Whatcom County has led to serious damage and other disastrous effects. Sen. Simon Sefzik has acted quickly to aid the people in need.

Sefzik is giving his support to those deeply impacted by the widespread flooding and is reaching out to local leaders for their assistance.

In addition to this, he has introduced a bill that provides short-term financial recovery assistance to agricultural producers who faced the challenging winter. The bill also offers

a pathway to confront future natural disasters in Washington state.

Sefzik is working hard to achieve more relief and further improvements for our damaged community. Support Sen. Sefzik and his ambition to assist the current situation and approach future problems as well.

November rains will be here again Editor, What stage are you at, Whatcom County leaders, on flood prevention plans? On March 15, the B.C. premier and our Washington state governor announced plans for a transboundary flood prevention initiative.

I have heard very little from our local officials up to this point on what the plan is here. But if you research what proposals are being discussed north of the border in Abbotsford, you will be amazed how quickly they came up with four future flood prevention options, one of which will be chosen by late spring of 2022.

The Abbotsford mayor is not wasting any time when he said, “We need to complete

one of these proposals before this November where potential flooding could happen again.”

Yes, a steep commitment.

The most expensive option proposed would raise and add more dikes and additional pump stations in the Fraser Valley north of the border.

What should scare us the most is that this same proposed plan would have B.C. build a dike 6-9 meters high from the Huntington Border Crossing in Sumas to the eastern foothills, with only one section of missing dike where the Sumas River flows into Canada.

What a lake Sumas and Everson would become if that were to happen. Even if this border dike proposal is only meant to put a fire under our Whatcom County officials to do something on our side of the border, then I think this is a great way to make it happen.

Thank you B.C. The proposal presented

by Abbotsford, which took a mere four months to research and present, is an embarrassment to our local officials in Washington state who have done next to nothing regarding flood prevention in the past 40 years. Before you know it, November rains will be here again.

Carmen Larsen Carmen Ann (Nonhoff ) Larsen, beloved sister, mother, and grandma, went home to be with Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior, on Friday, Feb. 25.

Carmen was born on Oct. 29, 1950, to Robert and Janet Nonhoff, and grew up in a loving home in Lynden.

It was there she learned about Jesus and the salvation found through His name.

Snowda Mullins Snowda Marie Mullins, 38, of Lynden passed away unexpectedly on April 7 in her home.

Snowda was born in Bellingham to Robin & Margaret Mullins on Oct. 17 1983, the second of four children. Snowda grew up in Lynden, attending Lynden Public Schools, and graduating in 2002.

Snowda’s childhood was filled with music, swimming, Girl Scouts and trips to the family cabin in Seabeck, WA. She attended Lynden United Methodist Church as a child and was baptized there as an infant.

Snowda’s passion for small critters was developed early.

Her home was always open to creatures great and small, with a unique inability to say no to a pet

This faith remained a solid foundation for her life.

In 1969, Carmen graduated from Lynden Christian High School.

A year later, she moved to California where she attended Sawyer Business College and graduated with honors as a medical secretary.

Carmen took pride working in the medical field.

She enjoyed the challenges of maintaining accurate medical records and coding diagnoses.

During this career she met Richard Larsen. They married in 1976 and had a daugh-

in need, even into adulthood.

Snowda’s musical talents were widespread, from piano, to flute, to oboe and even picking up the trumpet. Snowda’s time in high school bands were some of her favorites.

After 13 years in girl scouts with mom Maggie as troop leader, Snowda earned the very first gold award in the community where she brought her love of music and Girl Scouts together, forming a community band for her final project.

After graduation, Snowda entered the workforce while taking some college courses.

The highlight of her life and 20s was becoming a mother to Eden (16) and Matthew (12).

Snowda had a strong faith in the Lord despite difficulty in her life.

She began attending Bible

Focusing on city government, Connect Ferndale hopes to work with city leadership to align values, bring a land acknowledgment statement to city council meetings and collaborate with the equity advisory committee.

According to Rebecca Xczar, Connect Ferndale program coordinator and city government committee chair, because city governments and other legal entities make the laws we live under, it’s important to be aware of what’s going on, changes that are happening and have a voice in them as they occur.

For policing, Connect Ferndale wants to work with the Ferndale Police Department to create accountability, align values, bring more transparency to the civil service commission and explore expanding more community oversight of policing.

“We also want to keep tracking emerging issues, think about policy suggestions and find other ways to ask for accountability from the police department,” said O’Connor.

The organization wants to actively recruit and engage members in their work

In 1983, Carmen moved back to Lynden with her daughter. Because medical complications made it difficult to work, Carmen settled into a life of homemaking and raising her daughter.

Snowda’s friendships were honest and real. She did not hide her struggles or conceal her love.

She enjoyed sending thoughtful gifts and celebrating birthdays with grandeur.

Road trips with her kids (and mom and bonus kids) were some of Snowda’s favorite vacations. Together they visited the Redwoods, Mount Rushmore,

Lions’ seven-run sixth inning more than enough to earn 8-3 win over Mount Baker

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN – Lane Heeringa proved it isn’t about how you start, but instead how you finish — in more ways than one.

With the game tied at three in the bottom of the sixth, bases loaded, the Lions junior throttled a triple deep to the left-centerfield wall.

Lynden senior Case Zweegman was nearly home by the time the ball returned to the grass. Junior Lincoln VanDiest and senior Isaac

VanderVeen weren’t far behind. Heeringa had been due his moment on the plate for some time.

“I’ve been hitting pretty bad this season,” Heeringa said after the 8-3 win. “This is the time to get a hit, I thought. I was thankful for that for sure.”

The play completely swung the momentum in the Lions’ favor, as the energy level in the dugout elevated immediately.

“He has been struggling, he’ll be the first one to tell you that,” White said of Heeringa. “But because the

bases were loaded, he knew he was going to be getting something to hit.”

While that hit turned the tide, other Lions were at work earlier in the inning. Lynden entered the sixth inning trailing 3-1 before seniors Duke Ohligschlager and Cade Slayton scored to tie the game. Those were necessary runs to precede Heeringa’s game-changing at-bat.

Up until that point, Mount Baker controlled every bit of the game’s tempo. Mountaineers senior Brent See LIONS on B2

Lyncs’ comeback falls short against Bulldogs

Sports round-up: April 11 - 18

Lynden Christian’s offense unable to keep pace with Mount Vernon in 13-8 loss

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN – The Lyncs stayed in it, even without picking up a hit until the bottom of the third inning.

Lynden Christian could have easily gotten down on themselves after Mount Vernon rattled off six runs in the first inning; when their offense sputtered early.

The Lyncs kept swinging. After a time, junior Karlie Korthuis got on base. Korthuis scored on a double from junior Annie Zylstra, and LC started rolling. A few hits later, three more Lyncs had rounded the bases.

Mount Vernon took over at the top of the fourth with a much leaner lead.

Freshman Kassidy VanSoest was in the circle nearly the entire game, stepping in late in the first inning and finishing with 6 strikeouts.

“Kass did great in the circle and our girls did great on defense,” said LC’s head coach Brooke Heystek after the 13-8 loss.

Lyncs: ‘Great attitudes’

Lions: Sixth-straight win Continued from B1

Anderson surrendered just one run through five innings pitched before being relieved and Lynden erupted.

“If we’re honest with ourselves, there’s probably a play or two plays in there that we should probably make,” Mount Baker head coach McHenry Pattison said. “Brent was dealing, pitching really well for those first five.”

VanDiest pitched six innings for the Lions, striking out five batters. Junior Kaedan Hermanutz stepped in at the top of the seventh, striking out two of three to close out the game.

White said VanDiest’s steady arm was equally important to the comeback effort.

“Lincoln put us in a spot to win,” White said. “We let him down offensively as a

pitcher, and we had a couple of balls that we needed to make a play out there, and we didn’t do that.”

As Lynden’s offense struggled through the first five, VanDiest remained consistent.

The Mountaineers got nothing easy with him on the mound. He knew he had to stay the course.

“I just knew I had to throw some strikes, get some ground balls,” VanDiest said. “I know one player after another they’ll come back, and they’ll save me back there — just keeping a confidence.”

Mount Baker’s hitters were led by sophomore Jesse Harward who finished 2-for4 on the day, adding an RBI. Sophomore Braven Nason picked up the Mountaineers’ other RBI, finishing 1-for-2.

Outside of Heeringa, Lynden’s offense was powered by senior Ryan Kleindel who went 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs and an RBI. Seven of the Lions’ 10 batters finished with at least one hit.

With the win, Lynden improved to 11-3 overall (7-1 NWC) on the season. They got their seventh-straight win on Friday, April 15, with a 15-0 win over Blaine. Next up for the Lions is a home game versus Burlington-Edison on Tuesday, April 19, at 4 p.m.

The result of that game was not available prior to publication.

Mount Baker dropped to 3-8 overall (1-7 NWC) following the loss. They lost to Squalicum on Friday, April 15, by a score of 4-3. The Mountaineers will host Blaine on Tuesday, April 19, at 5 p.m. The result of that game was not available prior to publication.

“It’s a learning opportunity, again, we’ve got a lot of learning to do as a squad,” Pattison said. “But we’ve put together three weeks of really close games … once we kind of turn that corner and limit the damage in those big situations we’re going to be just fine.”

Continued from B1

“They just got some timely hits, so that’s how the game goes sometimes. My girls did great.”

Despite VanSoest’s consistency, the Bulldogs’ hitters were feeling it.

Mount Vernon re-extended their advantage to six, leading 10-4 before the Lyncs could get three out.

“I just wanted to help our team, try to get us a win,” VanSoest said. “Even though it didn’t go quite our way.”

Bats went quiet for a while. LC picked it back up in the bottom of the fifth, as junior Kenadi Korthuis tripled with two outs on the board. She was able to get home before the third, narrowing the gap to five.

Mount Vernon stayed aggressive. A home run just over the left-field fence at the top of the sixth inning put two more runs on the scoreboard. The Lyncs faced their largest deficit of the game.

“I think we’re in our heads a little bit right now, we’re kind of in some slumps,” Heystek said. “Just kind of staying positive at-bat and clearing our minds [will benefit the team].”

They kept their heads up as the outcome looked grim. VanSoest picked up two RBIs in the bottom of the sixth on a double. Senior Megan Smit beamed another double to score senior Libby Bouwman.

A potent seventh inning never came, but the Lyncs left the field feeling good about their efforts and where the team is headed.

The Lyncs finished with 9 hits as seven different batters got on base. VanSoest batted 2-for-3 with 2 RBI on the day in addition to her pitching. Junior Karsyn Postma was the only other LC batter with two hits, going 2-for-4.

“We’re just trying to improve and get better on the little things,” VanSoest said. “[We] just need to keep our team’s energy up.”

LC fell to 3-7 (1-6 NWC) with the loss but bounced back to defeat Friday Harbor 17-0 on Monday, April 18. They will host Anacortes on Thursday, April 21, at 4:30 p.m.

The Lyncs have four losses this season while scoring eight or more runs. Heystek said the team is right on the cusp of making a push.

“They just have great attitudes, so win or loss, this is the team I’d win or lose with,” she said. “As long as we keep it up, keep our energy going, we’ll be winning some games.”
