FERNDALE Because of “an inability to carry out his du ties,” the City of Ferndale has red O cer Scott Langton as of Aug. 23.

FERNDALE — Jam on the River hosted by Ferndale Chamber of Commerce will return for its second year Satur day, Aug. 27 at Ferndale’s Cen tennial Riverwalk Park from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. e event will feature ac tivities for all including 30 dif ferent vendors, six food trucks with a variety of food options and live music throughout the day including performances from Uncle Doug, Frankie Mc Cabe, JP Falcon Band and Fan tasyFoodBand. trucks Mix Masala, Chispita de sabor, Kona Ice, Sugar and Spice Donuts and more will participate in the event. e Chamber of Com merce will also provide free cotton candy and popcorn. Jam on the River is the Fern dale street festival reimagined, according to Anya Milton, ex ecutive director of Ferndale Chamber of Commerce, due to the event needing some adjust ments because of the growth of Ferndale’s population and to utilize beautiful Centennial Riverwalk Park. “ e history of the Ferndale street festival is 17 years in the making and the population has doubled, but that street has stayed the same size,” said Milton regarding the transi tion of the event and the tra c problem that emerged from the streetefestival. nameof the event, Jam on the River, is a play on words, with jam referencing the live music that will be featured at the event and the original name of Ferndale due to the historic log jams in the river.

By Cal Bratt For the Record FERNDALE — Out with the old, in with the new. Both demolition and construc tion were ongoing this summer in prog ress toward a new Ferndale High School. at’s especially true of the new gym, PE and locker rooms, the rst phase to be completed. It will be ready for use by stu dents and sta at the start of the 2022-23 school year, said Ferndale School District communications specialist Jackson Ho gan.If you were on the campus in early Au gust, the new gym building stood out with its prominent orange-clad exterior. Although new stadium bleachers are also highly visible, it will take another year to create the turf eld to go with it for foot ball and track. Ferndale will use Blaine’s outdoor facilities for the 2022-23 season. And bit by bit in front, maybe sadly, the old quonset-type Golden Eagles gym, as familiar and beloved as it was, was being turned into a pile of rubble. Meanwhile, the shape and style of the main three-story school building keeps emerging. Everything is on track with Cor nerstone General Contractors for occu pancy of the classrooms building, or aca demic wing, in January 2023 after winter break, as scheduled, the district says. Ferndale High School construction is being done in a way to minimize disrup tion from the normal ow of operations -- no skip of schooling. For now, the old and new buildings are physically close together, so that eventually students can walk just a few yards to their new digs.

Hope and prayer Editor, As the summer winds down, and Roe v. Wade is o the books, we can only speculate on the future of America’s Unborn. Lynden Human Life spent 10 days at the fair and it is clear that the issue of abortion is far from over. LHL is grateful beyond measure to our 60-plus volunteers. e political climate is super charged and the battle rages for life. Unborn life. Washington is deeply embedded in abortion, (1971) and Bellingham is a sanctuary city for abortion. What a horrible legacy. In our pocket of Whatcom, we continue to support women in crises through and amazing local ministry called New Way Ministries. With nearly 30 units for housing, support and help of every kind, you can call them at 360-354-9930. It is the hope and prayer of many who have stood for nearly 50 years against the atrocity of abortion that Lynden would become a safe-haven for mom’s and children, and become a sanctuary city for life. Again, thanks to so many who stood for life and to those who continue to o er support to those in need, during a pregnancy. God bless you for doing what’s right, when it’s not Voteembraced.pro-life(supporting a party with godly values) e upcoming elections will alter our future.

LETTERSGUEST OPINION

You could say my friend Debbie Vander Veen is heavily involved in local agriculture and the NW Washington Fair. Last weekend, she said the Small Animal Experience volunteers voiced they didn’t want the Fair to end. I think they really were enjoying themselves, hanging out with small animals and lots of children. I get it. Same with summer. Many of us struggle with seeing the days shorten and the season start to change. I looked at the calendar and realized I haven’t gotten my hikes in and my garden projects aren’t near completed, let alone started. Oh no … but back to the fair. Saturday, I went for a last time to the fair. is time I went purposely to people watch and to go behind the scenes to have a di erent perspective. I watched the people who brought animals to the fair and were basically living with their animals. eir view of the Fair was within view of their cows or horses.Italked with security team members watching big stage stars arriving with their instruments, buses, and stay brie y to set up and sound check, perform and then get back on the road to their next performance.

One member of the

teen years while dancing with bodies in their 50s and 60s. e lyrics were evoking a simpler form of rebellion compared to that happening today. I kind of miss that. I went to get my annual moowich ice cream sandwich from the Dairy Wives booth only to nd they were sold out by late Saturday. I had to accept my fate.Volunteers meet up before the fair to assemble the ice cream sandwiches and they often do run out. It’s a rite of passage, or simply a great tasty cool treat. Iwatched the Ferris wheel turn, the zipper ride jerk and twirl, and kids lining up to get back on a ride or to get prizes from the law enforcement folk running a prize wheel. e other law enforcement table next door had less of a crowd but did o er to let fairgoers where their “drunk glasses” and I can assure anyone they can make you feel pretty weird.

On Sunday, I picked up the photos I had entered in that department and saw department heads and helpers organizing this aspect of the fair as well as the entry component. Friend Peggy Deem, who has overseen several departments for exhibitors for many years, seems rather non-plussed by the work and the hours involved. She takes time from a day job to be there. Peggy factors it into her yearly planning. She is far from alone. Many others sign up to usher, take money at the gate, pick up the trash. It was fascinating to see the collections portion of those exhibits. ey are simply eclectic. Someone had brought in avored Tic Tacs. Another had an assortment of pop bottles and cans. It is making me rethink what I could enter next year. Maybe dust bunnies or even real bunnies but I don’t have any real ones. Here’s to those behind-the-scenes people who make things happen. Here’s to next year. I will miss summer and the fair but fall has some great things in store, too. -- Elisa Claassen is a freelance journalist with the Lynden Tribune and Ferndale Record newspapers.

Seeing the park be activated, full of people and community members having a joyful time is what Milton hopes to come out of the event. -- Leora Watson can be reached at leora@lyndentri bune.com.

Hope Pitchernamedofthe Year

By Taras McCurdie For the Tribune Editor’s note: is article is the second in a two-part series. Read last week’s article for part one. LIV Golf’s entrance into the golf realm has morally challenged pro fessional golfers’ nan cial decisions. Players can choose to stay with tradition and continue to play under the Profes sional Golf Association (PGA), or they can try something new and play under LIV However,Golf. trying something new doesn’t mean taking a break from the PGA for one weekend to play in a charity tournament or anything like that. Rath er, it means permanently giving up a hard-earned PGA Tour card for mil lions of guaranteed dol lars that are backed by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, which is not in the good graces of theepublic.problem with LIV Golf from a competition aspect is that by having golfers from the PGA Tour transition to LIV Golf, it weakens the play ing eld in the PGA. So instead of having players such as Dustin Johnson (LIV), Bryson DeCham beau (LIV), Brooks Ko epka (LIV), Phil Mick elson (LIV), Scottie Sche er (PGA), Jordan Spieth (PGA) and others competing at the same tournaments each week end, so that we as fans can compare who is the best, they’re all on sepa rate tours with di erent formats. e “Greatest of All Time,” is irrelevant in the sport of golf now, See LIV GOLF on B3

star power or glory. Each player is a cog in the system, thanks to head coach Blake VanDalen. at being said, the team lost some valuable starters. e de fense will be without Kole An typas, Ryan Kleindel and Max Moore in the secondary. On the front seven, 2021 leading-tackler Taivin VanDalen is gone, as well as Case Zweegman (second on the team in total tackles last year), Joel Bode, Lucas Gunderson and Cade eSlayton.Lions do retain star line backer and running back Lane Heeringa, as well as defensive backs Collin Anker and Kobe Baar. Defensive linemen Trey Smiley and Luke Winterberg will also return.

O ensively, Lynden is in great shape. ey are returning their entire o ensive line as well as their back eld, led by senior quarterback Kaedan Hermanutz. e Lions’ only o ensive loss es were Slayton—who was used as a change of pace, versatile back eld weapon—and wide re ceiver Kaleo Jandoc, who led the team receiving last season with 632 yards and 10 touchdowns on 24 receptions.

Nolte combined for 21 rushing touchdowns and over 2000 yards on the ground last season. Run ning the rock will be a consistent theme again in 2022. Oh, yeah, they also have the most danger ous special teamer in the NWC in Troy Petz. Season opener: at Ferndale; Friday, Sep. 2, 7 p.m. at Blaine High School. Lynden Christian In 2021, the Lyncs made it three consecutive trips to a 1A state semi nal game with their 7-3 overall record. Can they do it again in 2022? e weight of that question falls on rst-year head coach Greg Terpstra, and how he de cides to handle the holes that the 14 graduating seniors created. Most notably, the Lyncs are down a signal caller. Quarter back Will Colwell is gone, which leaves LC with a wide-open quarterback competition. Senior Tommy Meyer may be the next in line, given he had a few in-game snaps at quarterback last year. O ensive impact players Zac Owen, Sam Penner, Caleb Ryan and Jamison Hintz are also graduated. All four were also key pieces to the defensive scheme in 2021. Matthew Burrows and Roman Meenk are huge defen sive losses for LC that will need to be lled in the front seven. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s look at the positives. AllNWC wide receiver and defen sive back Tyler Sipma will only get better in his senior season. Senior USC-commit Kade El dridge returns on the defensive edge and in the o ensive back eld. Eldridge is a game wrecker on both sides of the ball. Senior Jason Veenstra returns on the o ensive line and will need to move into a leadership position there. 6-foot-6 junior defensive end Jeremiah Wright is already an elite athlete and should only continue to improve. A lot of starters from 2021 are out, but the Lyncs do retain vet eran leadership and star power that could keep them in conten tion come post-season. Season opener: vs. Seaquam Secondary; Friday, Sep. 2, 7 p.m. at Lynden Christian High School. Ferndale e Golden Eagles ended their 2021 season in heartbreak, nishing with a 7-3 overall re cord after beginning the year 4-0. Similar to LC, Ferndale is also down a quarterback with Mark Schlichting graduated. However, they trade a signal caller to re gain their most elite o ensive and defensive weapon: Isaiah Carlson.erunning back and line backer compiled 789 yards and 9 touchdowns on 105 touches in 2021, and that was only through the rst seven games of the sea son before his injury. If Carlson can remain healthy all year, the senior could be the heart and soul of this Golden Eagles team that could make some serious noise.at, coupled with a stout o ensive line, and a rst-year starter at quarterback may not be such a huge issue. Leading Ferndale in the trenches will be Landen Hatchett, a UW-commit, and Jake Mason, who also has an o er from Eastern Washington. Mason and Hatchett are im pact players on both sides of the ball. Ferndale will miss o ensive weapons omas Broselle and Ryan Pelton, but expect a big ju nior season from wide receiver Conner Walcker. Walcker has great hands and speed, so don’t be surprised if he’s moved around in the of fense to ensure he touches the football. Season opener: vs. Lynden; Friday, Sep. 2, 7 p.m. at Blaine High School. Nooksack Valley e Pioneers are not a team to sleep on in the NWC. Nooksack Valley may have nished 4-5 in 2021, but the team only lost sev en seniors to graduation. ose were valuable losses, though.Wide receiver and lineback ers Dawson Kimball, Jet Triplett and Caleb Kingma are gone, as well as running back Jordan Sil va. Edge rusher Gerrit Bruland’s departure leaves the Pioneers’ front seven even more vulner able.A big upside for NV is return ing their dual-threat quarter back, Joey Brown. He and Silva were a dangerous duo in 2021, with their best showing coming in a 54-6 victory over Meridian where the two combined for sev en total touchdowns. With Silva gone, Brown will be the o ense’s focal point. Sophomore wide receiver Cory Olney was moved around in the o ense fairly regularly last sea son and may be primed for a breakout season on o ense and in the defensive back eld. Junior John Stremler put to gether an excellent sophomore season as an edge rusher and will look to anchor the Pioneers’ frontNVseven. had23 freshmen and 14 sophomores on their varsity ros ter in 2021. at experience will port over well into 2022. Season opener: vs. Moun tain View; Friday, Sep. 2, 7 p.m. at Nooksack Valley High School. Mount Baker Despite going 5-4 overall in 2021, the Mountaineers had an astoundingly productive season. Mount Baker was seeded No. 8 in the 1A state tournament bracket, narrowly losing to No. 9 Toppen ish in the opening round, 26-22. Like all teams on this list, the Mountaineers su ered some heavy losses. Davin Beason is o to play linebacker at Portland State after an exceptional se nior season. He was also Mount Baker’s quarterback for most of 2021.Jesse Sande, the team’s lead ing rusher in 2021, is also gone. However, the Mountaineers have an equally good option in All-NWC rst-teamer Marcques George.Asasenior, George will likely take the bulk of the carries this upcoming season after splitting the workload last year. Senior running back and linebacker Brady West will likely get a share of the carries as well. Defensive tackle ayer Brown is graduated, as well as wide receiver and defensive back Wyatt Pettigrew. at being said, the majority of this team is youthful. Junior Alex Maloley is back as an edge rusher, and so is junior Vance Lawrence who will build on a superb sophomore year that is sure to get him more snaps on defense.equarterback position is a huge question mark for the Mountaineers. With their runrst mentality, that may not be a glaring issue. It certainly wasn’t in 2021. Season opener: at Sehome; Friday, Sep. 2, 7 p.m. at Civic Field.

Access Another change golf fans have to adjust to with LIV Golf is how they can access the events. Unlike the PGA Tour, which is on the Golf Channel, LIV Golf is accessible through a di erent, more modern medium.“Ithink [LIV Golf is] hoping some [TV] net work is going to pick them up [so they have a] nation al audience [and] can start doing advertising and try ing to get money some how,” Lynden High School girls head golf coach Scott Sahagian said. “But right now, I don’t think they have any of that, so I don’t know how they’re recoup ing hundreds and hun dreds of millions of dol lars.”Sahagian is also unsure of the new tour because of its many uncertainties with what could happen with the money and the golfers if the tour were to op. Would the golfers be allowed back into the PGA, he questioned. If so, would they have to go back through the circuit to get to the top again? Would LIV Golf still own up to its “guaranteedmoney” promise and pay its players a few years after the tour ended?

Brian Kruhlak, the di rector of golf at Sudden Valley Golf Course, said he hasn’t talked with any body yet who has watched LIVBecauseGolf. the new tour doesn’t have any TV con tracts and viewers can’t access it regularly on TV but rather through You Tube, he said the tour will eventually become irrelevant if they don’t get viewership. He said as the LIV Golf is currently struc tured, it’s not a good prod uct for consumers. Golfers’ images: Is honesty the best policy? Golfers who have cho sen to leave the PGA have not been in the good graces of golf fans. Some people who Sahagain has talked to said they would take the money regardless of the price, since they could care less about Sau di Arabia and where the money comes from. However, other people Sahagian has talked with said they would not take any kind of money simply because they know where it’s coming from, and they don’t want to be associ ated with that business. “I stand on the side of the PGA Tour,” Sahagian said. “If I was presented [with the PGA Tour and LIV Golf] option[s], I would stick with what I grew up with, what I idol ize [and] what I believe in, and that would be not tak ing $200 million for this o er for me to go play for a league that I didn’t nec essarily agree with.” Kruhlak said the LIV golfers’ images are nega tive through the fans’ eyes. “I wasn’t sure how that was going to play out. But I think for the most part, the fans are a little upset with them,” he said. “Phil Mick elson got booed or heck led on the rst tee at the last tournament. Ian Poul ter, at the British Open, did get booed on the rst tee. So I think in general, the fans are a little up set. … It seems like just a greedy move, and again, I think it comes back to the fact that they’re not being honest.”Kruhlak wishes LIV golfers would be honest with the public and admit they are taking the money because it’s an o er they can’t pass up rather than saying they’re taking the money because the deci sion is good for the game of golf, which, according to Kruhlak, it clearly isn’t. Recently, Tiger Woods rejected a $700 to $800 million o er from Greg Norman to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. Also, the golfers who chose to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf led a lawsuit against the PGA Tour because they didn’t want to be sus pended from those PGAsanctioned events, even though they knew what the consequences would be once they gave up their tour card for guaranteed money.Sahagian agrees with the PGA’s decision to sus pend LIV Golf players because he doesn’t think it’s right for LIV players to have the best of both worlds.“Ifeel if you’re going to make that choice, then make it with the con dence that that’s what you are doing,” he said. “So, [LIV Golf players] want to get paid the money for LIV Golf, but they also want to be able to pick and choose what PGA tournaments they play in, and I don’t think that’s right.”

He pitched 52.1 in nings and posted 48 strike outs while walking just six. He was 4-1 on the sea son in nine games played. e award comes after Hope was already named the 2022 Bell of the Year. He will return to Lewis-Clark State College this upcom ing year for his sophomore season. On ursday, Aug. 18, Hope was also named to the All-WCL First-Team. “We are so proud of Trevin for the way he has represented our team all summer long. is league honor is truly the cherry on top for what has been a fan tastic season for him, and it is very well deserved,” said Bellingham Bells general manager Stephanie Mor rell. “Trevin has been an amazing Bell and has rep resented his hometown with pride.

I don’t know anymore. Another thing that’s troubling is the reasons these players are leaving the PGA Tour. I don’t un derstand why one would spend countless hours on the range and course working to obtain a pres tigious PGA tour card but then drop it for money? If LIV Golf had been on the scene for years now, I would understand play ers leaving once they saw how nancially stable the new tour was. But because LIV Golf just came onto the scene, we don’t really know how long it’s going to last, and if it could op in a few years. I know it’s guaranteed money, but wouldn’t stay ing on the PGA and train ing to win the PGA Cham pionship or other notable PGA-sanctioned tourna ments be more rewarding than just being handed millions of dollars to play in exhibition-type match es, and it’s not even every weekend either? I understand some lower-level golfers on the PGA who know they aren’t good enough to win a tournament and large amounts of cash each week may choose to switch to LIV Golf because of that guaranteed-money o er. But, if you’re making cuts and playing on Sun days, you’re doing quite well in my book. I think of it as sports perseverance. Would world-renowned athletes like LeBron James, Ser ena Williams and Lionel Messi have the reputa tion they do today if they had just quit their respec tive leagues because they didn’t succeed at rst? No. Jordan Spieth was on a roll a few years ago when he won the Masters in 2015 and e Open in 2017. He was in a slump the next few years but trained hard and made a comeback by placing sec ond in e Open in 2021, winning the Valero Texas Open in 2021 and winning the RBC Heritage this past April.e point is: regardless of if a golfer is a low-tier player or a high-tier play er, persevering through adversity and earning a trophy and monetary prize seems more reward ing than just being hand ed millions of dollars. I love watching superb talents like Dustin John son, Phil Mickelson and the other LIV Golf players. But when they succeed so much playing under a tour that has historical sig ni cance and reputation, but then leave because they want more money than they already have, that’s when it becomes a little disappointing.

Only time will“Personally,tell. I would think it would stop in a few years. I think it would kind of lose its momentum [be cause] I don’t know how you can just dump that much money into it year after year. I would think they would just be losing so much money,” Lynden High School boys head golf coach Jesse Weg said. “I just don’t see it last ing unless things change, and they start doing kind of like what the PGA Tour does and try to build their membership [by] having more tournaments where people are qualifying. But, I don’t see it being around after ve Kruhlak,years.”like Weg, doesn’t believe LIV Golf will be able to support it self for very long. “ e LIV Tour will not be around in its current form in four or ve years. Something has to give,” he said. “I think most people see the most likely outcome is some kind of merger where the PGA Tour brings [LIV Golf] into the fold. [But,] this tour is doing nothing but losing bucket loads of money. ey’re just spending; they’re not bringing in any money.

For Drivers: Under Washington state law, drivers must stop when pedestrians are using a crosswalk to cross a roadway. Follow these other guidelines whenever you’re on the road in neighborhoods or near schools.

• Never assume that a child sees your car coming. Always give children the right of way, even when not legally bound to do so.

Traveling by Bicycle:

Choosing a Route: Select a route that you can ride comfortably with the gears provided on your bicycle. Consider traffic conditions, intersections, hills and bicycle paths before choosing your route. This should be done on a Saturday or off-traffic time.

Traveling by Bus:

Getting Off the Bus: Get off the bus in single file. Don’t push or shove. Stay away from the bus as you head for home. If you have to cross the road, cross in front of the bus, and remember these things:1.Look at the driver. You should always see the driver.

2. Make sure the driver sees you and you see him or her.

4. Wait for the driver to signal you when it is safe to cross.

5. To be sure that it is safe, look left, right and left again before crossing.

Riding Methods: Try to ride the same route each day so that you become familiar with the traffic conditions and adjust to them. An added benefit is that the same motorists will see you each day so that they will also learn how to accommodate your bicycle in traffic. If possible, try riding with a friend. This makes commuting more fun, and a buddy can be helpful in an emergency.

Getting On the Bus: You must wait for the bus in a place that is safe. Playing around the bus stop is not safe.You could be hurt. Get on the bus in single file. Be nice. Don’t push or shove. Use the handrails. If something drops under the bus, leave it there. Let your school bus driver or another adult get it for you.

Equipment: A bicyclist must be prepared for changes in weather and equipment breakdowns. You need a helmet, tools and clothes to change into if necessary. Watch the weather reports, use good tires, wear light or bright colored clothing, and encourage your school to provide safe bicycle parking. To protect your equipment, try to park your bicycle in a place sheltered from the weather, and keep your other supplies in a locker or safe place. Have your bicycle ready for night riding.

For Kids:

• Obey the crossing guards who help protect children as they travel across intersections on the way to school.

• In neighborhoods and around schools, always look beneath parked cars as you approach them for tiny feet that may be hiding behind them. A child is always liable to bound out from behind a parked car to chase a ball or join a friend across the street. What is “The Danger Zone?” The Danger Zone is the space all around your school bus. It goes out 10 feet. The school bus driver cannot see you in this zone. He or she cannot see you around the wheels either. It is very dangerous to be in this area. If your bus driver cannot see you, they may hit you. You must be very careful whenever you get on or off the bus.

3. Take 10 Giant Steps ahead of the bus (about 10 feet).
