Bible-based preschool coming to Whatcom County

By Leora Watson leora@lyndentribune.com

WHATCOM — A preschool for the community of Whatcom.

That is what Faith Community Church’s Pastor Mike Campfield hopes to create with the church’s new up-andcoming preschool.

“We’re surrounded by Whatcom County,” said Campfield, who has been with Faith Community Church for 30 years. “It’s not just a Lynden Church or a Lynden preschool.”

Kayla Hamstra will be the lead teacher for the three- and four-year-old children at the new preschool and also hopes to cater to the whole of Whatcom County.

“That’s the beauty of this program.

It’s new,” said Hamstra. “So we can mold it to what it needs to be for the community. We want this to be for the people of our community and for what God sees.”

Hamstra has been going to Faith Community Church for nine years and has been teaching preschool for seven years. She has a passion for teaching preschool-aged children and helping foster their relationship with God. Faith Community Preschool will be a biblically based program. “That’s going to be the center of who we are as a preschool program,” said Campfield.

Starting a preschool at the church has been in the works for a long time, according to Campfield, and the opporSee Bible-based on A3

Whatcom libraries kick off annual Summer Reading Program Whatcom County’s annual Summer Reading Program for kids, teens and adults is underway at local public libraries.

Pick up a Summer Reading card at Bellingham Public Library or Whatcom County Library System branches or download a card at the library systems’ websites, bellinghampubliclibrary.com/summerreading or wcls.org/summer-reading.

Cards are available in English, Punjabi, Russian and Spanish languages. The library systems’ Summer Reading Program ends Aug. 31.

This year, community partner WECU will help to spread the word about Summer Reading.

Thanks to the financial support of WECU, Friends of Bellingham Public Library, Friends of Whatcom County Library System groups and Whatcom County Library Foundation, young readers in Bellingham and Whatcom County will receive a free book at Summer Reading events.

There are two cards – one for readers of all ages and one for young children who are not yet reading.

The front of each card is illustrated with stepping stones that participants can fill in however they like to track their summer reading.

Side two of the pre-reader card features five early reading practices (reading, singing, talking, playing and writing) that adults can follow to help young people in their lives to develop a love of reading.

The back of the reader card has suggestions on how to participate in Summer Reading 2022.

Readers will find inspiration on the library systems’ websites and social media accounts.

The library systems also offer free activities to add to the Summer Reading experience. Bellingham Public Library will host outdoor Library Parties in parks for children (birth to teenagers) where young readers will receive a free book, have a chance to talk with library staff about books, take a StoryWalk and participate in other reading-in-

Inaugural Tractor Trot on Saturday in Lynden

By Bill Helm bill@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN — At 9 a.m. June 18 beginning at Forge Fitness Lynden, the Tractor Trot is a 5K/10K run/ walk that is open to any person, as well as families and groups, anyone, any age and any ability.

As of Monday, June 13, about 100 people have signed up to participate in the inaugural run, according to Julie Kroontje, the Tractor Trot event promoter and race director. She and Shona Short, who Kroontje said “has helped me immensely” with planning the event, run the race course at least once a week.

“This is not a type of event that can be done by one person,” Kroontje said. “I have some seriously good friends who support and spend a lot of time on this, too,” Krontje said. The name of the event and the chosen route, Kroontje said, came from Forge Fitness owner Jeannie Davidson.

Short has lived in the area for

Julie Kroontje and Shona Short, from left, have organized Lynden’s inaugural Tractor Trot 5K/10K run/walk, which will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 18 at Forge Fitness Lynden. (Bill Helm/Lynden Tribune) just about a year, she said recently.

“I was sad to leave my running

friends behind and keen to meet some new ones,” Short said. “I met

Julie through a new friend at church and hit it off immediately. When you run miles and miles with someone, you talk about everything.”

Short explained that recently, Kroontje had started talking about putting on an official run in Lynden.

“She has worked really hard to get this event going, has had this vision of a community race in our beautiful town for some time and she knows practically everyone, it seems,” Short said.

Runners, joggers, walkers and the rest will start at Forge Fitness and head for and wind around Bender Fields and along the trails of Lynden before they finish at City Park.

Tractor Trot is sponsored by several local businesses and supported by the Greater Bellingham Running Club (GBRC).

“A friend of mine suggested asking for assistance from Greater Bellingham Running Club (GBRC) which was a great idea as I had been to so many of their runs,” Kroontje

said. “GBRC voted on it and have been enthusiastic about having a Lynden event. We couldn’t have it on Raspberry Festival day since they already had that day slated for Chuckanut Footrace so we decided a stand-alone event would have to suffice with a lot of hope and prayers for participation.”

Short said that GBRC’s help with the run “has been wonderful.”

“We had a great response from local businesses in terms of sponsorship and we’re really excited to see this event grow from year to year to be a favorite in the events calendar,” Short said. “We’d love to have more options for distances in the future - a half marathon hopefully.”

T-shirts are available and there will be tractors along the route.

Empress Tattoo brings permanent art to Ferndale

By Leora Watson leora@lyndentribune.com

FERNDALE — A new tattoo shop has come to Ferndale.

In April, longtime friends Rebecca Xczar and Todd Bruce opened Empress Tattoo at 2046 Main St. According to Xczar, Empress Tattoo fills the Ferndale community’s need for a tattoo shop.

“I’ve been bringing art to the community for a while and when there was a different shop that had closed downtown there was kind of a need and void for one,” said Xczar, who runs the business side of Empress Tattoo and is the Chairperson for the Ferndale Arts Commission. “So we’re excited to collaborate to open up here.”

A tattoo shop is a hallmark of a town or city, according to Bruce, the tattoo artist at Empress Tattoo with 20 years of experience.

According to Bruce, Empress Tattoo is designed to be a comfortable and relaxing setting for clients, with rich colors, ornate furniture and unique decor.

“The shop itself is designed to be a comfortable place for people to come and not experience

the normal nerves and irritation that kind of comes with a lot of tattoo shops,” said Bruce.

Sharing a building with the art gallery, Gallery at 3rd and Main, has created an arts building with a symbiotic relationship between the two businesses, according to Bruce.

“The kind of people that come to pay money to get tattooed are also the kind of people who want to pay money to hang art on their walls,” said Bruce. “A lot of times people that come to hang art on their walls are like, oh, tattoos, so it works.”

Gallery at 3rd and Main, and Empress Tattoo, are hoping to collaborate and do shared events in the future, according to Xczar.

Being members of the community through Empress Tattoo as the business moves forward is something both Xczar and Bruce are excited for, according to Bruce.

Part of being a community member of Ferndale was joining the Chamber of Commerce, according to Xczar.

“We want to be a community partner with other businesses downtown,” said Xczar. “We want to

In April, longtime friends Rebecca Xczar and Todd Bruce opened Empress Tattoo at 2046 Main St. (Leora Watson/Ferndale Record) continue to bring art and colorful designs to the community and we will continue to partner with the Arts Commission on projects that we can assist

with.”

Xczar has always had an interest and love for tattoos, with some of her tattoos being done by Bruce himself.

“I think it’s good permanent art, I appreciate artists essentially bringing their work to life, people walk around with it forever,” said Xczar.

Tattoos being forever is a factor that has kept Bruce tattooing.

“There’s no such thing as a simple task or a small tattoo, even the tiniest tattoo is important because you’re changing the way somebody looks forever,” said Bruce. “Regardless of how incidental it is to my day it affects them for the rest of their lives.”

Bruce first started tattooing in Bellingham and specialized in project tattoos, such as scar cover ups, but now works with many different styles of tattoos.

For people getting a tattoo the first time, Bruce suggests finding a tattoo shop and artists that you like and can communicate easily with.

“Hand down, the most important thing is to use your words,” said Bruce.

“Don’t be afraid to say everything on your mind to the artist.”

Bruce and Xczar hope to eventually expand Empress Tattoo over time and bring in more tattoo artists and a piercer.

Anyone interested in Empress tattoo can contact the business at info@empresswa.com or visit empresswa.com.

tunity finally presented itself after a remodel of the buildings on the church’s campus. The preschool program has been a passion project for Campfield, with lots of his work as a pastor and other roles being education based.

“Because it’s not just about a preschool but alternative education needs in our community,” said Campfield.

While Campfield will not be one of the school’s teachers, he plans to support and facilitate the program and staff however he

can in his role as a pastor.

Melissa Tabert has been attending Faith Community Church for three years and has 20 years of experience in education. Tabert will be the lead teacher for the four- and five-year-old students at the preschool and said she is looking forward to helping students grow academically and spiritually.

“I’m excited to teach from biblically based teaching,” said Tabert.

Tabert believes as a teacher you have to be flexible and can’t expect every child to learn the same exact way.

“You have to be prepared,” said Tabert. “What works for one student might not work for another.”

The goal for the preschool is for it to be an integrated part of Faith Community Church, according to Campfield, and for it to be a family-oriented program. A good education and that their kids will know Jesus is what parents can expect from the preschool, according to Hamstra.

“We’re really hoping and praying that God has something for the community in this area,” said

Manmade laws are just that Man-made laws are just that. Man-made.

Our man-made laws must be refined just as gold is refined in the fire to become purer. Some of them must be changed.

Others must be removed from the law-books. Longstanding bureaucratic practices need review.

Elected representatives need to clean house!

When our laws mirror and reflect the immutable and universally true laws of nature and nature’s God (Declaration of Independence) they will also conform to the noble preamble of our U.S. Constitution: • to form a more perfect union, • establish justice, • insure domestic tranquility, • provide for the common defense, • promote the general welfare, • and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

Right now, many of our laws and rules do not serve these principled purposes.

They do not reflect the law of nature and nature’s God. Therefore, they ought to be abolished or changed to reflect the truth.

We can no longer obey evil laws to our own detriment which allow predatory speculators to work within their man-made,

‘Ferndale deserves better’ Editor, I cannot believe that Ferndale Council Member Jon Mutchler wants to name the Thornton Overpass after former Sen. Doug Ericksen.

Why on earth would we want to honor Sen. Ericksen who accepted over $500K from a brutal dictator in Cambodia to bless his sham election?

Ericksen who was censured by the state ethics board for accepting a truly staggering number of free meals from lobbyists and abandoned his voting responsibilities in Olympia to drum up more lobbying money in El Salvador.

And that’s not even touching on his involvement in sticking the City of Lynden with a massive security bill for the Trump Rally held in 2016.

Even in the most charitable light, Ericksen was a highly controversial figure who took delight in inflaming the divisions in our community. Ferndale deserves better.

I urge the City Council not to decline this proposal from foolhardy proposal from Council Member Mutchler.

Langley Vanderveen Ferndale

Gas tax cut Editor, Did you know that Sen. Simon Sefzik (R-

42nd District) proposed Bill 5897 in the Senate chambers on March 8? The bill would have suspended the gas tax for the rest of 2022. Were you aware that the state collected a $15 billion surplus in taxes this year?

Sen. Sefzik called for a motion, known as the 9th order of business. This would have allowed a simple majority of senators to decide any issue from the Senate floor.

Sen. Sefzik stated that Bill 5897 would give every motorist in Washington state an immediate 49.4-cent discount on every gallon of gas they purchase. Sen. Sefzik stated that the bill would not be a paycheck for gas companies or take away from transportation funds. You can read online how Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, and New York all implemented a suspension of excise tax on fuel this year.

The concept of cutting the gas tax isn’t a new idea and it’s simple enough for our state to implement. Sadly, after Sen. Sefzik presented his request for the vote, Sen. Jamie Pedersen (D-43rd District) took the floor and asked his fellow senators to reject the vote.

Why wasn’t Sen. Pedersen interested in helping his constituents and us save money?

The senators were working on several budgets and Sen. Pedersen asked them if they wanted to go home on Thursday.

The vote lost 28-21 and the Democratic senators decided to not find a way to give it back to their constituents. There’s roughly $3 billion left over from the surplus, which is why Sen. Sefzik has called for a special session.

It’s time for the senate majority to agree to

this special session and do the job they were elected to do for the people of Washington.

Let’s keep the money in our wallets.

Man-Made Laws Continued from A4

entrenched Green Agenda banking system. Fortunately it can be overturned through our knowledge and understanding of what is going on and how economics and politics should interact!

Who are the predatory speculators? How can we recognize them at work?

We recognize them by what their policies do to lower the productive capabilities of the American people, or the people of any sovereign nation.

We recognize them by their environmental

sanctions which prevent us from doing the simple labor of putting our shovels into the ground to remove the choking sand blocking the free flow of water downstream from the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean through the Nooksack Riverbed.

This restraint is foolishness. Utter foolishness.

Where are the people with the guts to take out these fools? Are there any?

Our local shovel companies are termed small and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s). Many survive only through severe struggling while others atrophy. These

wonderful companies must be re-capitalized and called back into existence.

SME’s are led by innovators and problem solvers.

They fund and expand their small companies through cash-on-hand or by loans from friends, contractors, and relatives — and the local bank.

Their commitment to investment in future technologies and future products requires nonvolatile markets which can be reliably predicted — the very opposite of what Wall Street and the City of London predators maximize.

So this takes guts.

The backbone of the U.S. economy, namely, the SME’s, along with the existing network of 4,000 community banks and 28 regional banks, would work in concert with a new national bank to rebuild our communities large and small.

A National Bank committed to the sovereignty of the nation provides expansive credit to build productive enterprises and communities by means of loans from the regional and local banks, perhaps on a 50/50 targeted basis structured to work in coordination with the National Bank.

Community banks must be situated to share knowledge and responsibility in promoting productive lending to build the productive capacities of our

nation.

TRACK AND FIELD

Moore shines despite serious injury Nooksack Valley’s Tehya Moore pushes through ankle injury, finishes top 10

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

LHS hosting youth summer basketball camps

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

EVERSON – Approaching the runway for her second long jump attempt of the day, it was business as usual for Nooksack Valley’s Tehya Moore on the second day of the 2022 state championship meet in Cheney, Washington.

There was some light rain between her first jump and the imminent second, which packed the sand in the landing area a bit more, but that was of no concern to the senior jumper.

Moore was in her first track and field postseason since 2019. She enjoys long jump, but the triple jump is where she excels — so much so that she entered the meet with a personal record more than nine inches beyond any other 1A girls triple jumper in the state.

“Right before bi-districts I had jumped my 3610, which beat my PR and the school record before,” Moore said. “After bi-districts, I kind of thought I had a good shot going into state that I could win.”

She finished second at state as a freshman with a mark of 35-10.50. The champion that year was a senior. It was Moore’s turn to bring home a title.

“Knowing how well it went last time, I had big hopes for this time,” Moore said.

For now, she was focused on her next long jump attempt. She would have just enough time to get this jump in before rushing over to the start line for the 4x200 meter relay.

LYNDEN – Lynden High School is hosting two youth basketball camps near the end of June and into early July.

Both camps will be focused on basketball skills and will be led by LHS coaches and players.

The first of the two camps is a co-ed camp for kids entering first, second or third grade in the 2022-23 school year.

It will be held at Lynden’s Jake Maberry Gymnasium on Wednesday, June 22, to Thursday, June 23 from 9 to 11 a.m. each day.

It is $55 per athlete and will include a “camp t-shirt, a rubber basketball, friends, games, contests and lots of fun,” according to a brochure about the event.

The second camp is for boys players only entering grades fourth through ninth in the 2022-23 academic year.

A longer camp, it will also be held in Jake Maberry Gymnasium from Tuesday, July 5, to Thursday, July 7. It will be three hours each day, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Included in the cost to attend is the same items and connections packaged with the younger camp.

It is $60 per athlete, or $90 for two brothers.

Pre-registration is due by June 24.

SENIOR OLYMPICS

VanderMay earns second national title Lynden native makes waves in hammer throw at senior olympics

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN – Monty VanderMay, a Lynden native, recently captured his second national title in the 6-kilogram hammer throw at the 2022 National Senior Games in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

His throw of 36.17 meters was 1.29 meters ahead of the secondplace finisher and the best among the 11 competitors that qualified for the national event on Thursday, May 12.

“It was just to be for fun,” VanderMay said of his original decision to compete in the senior games.

“Then my first meet in 2016 I won gold, and that qualified me for nationals the following year. At that point I really didn’t think it was all that likely, I just thought ‘I’m going to go to nationals and see what hap-

pens.’”

It was a pleasant surprise when he ended up winning the title, he said.

VanderMay watched the hammer throw in the Olympics when he was young. It had piqued his interest ever since.

“I remember asking in high school if I could throw hammer,” VanderMay said. “The ‘no’ was so loud I still hear it. That just wasn’t going to happen.”

He found an opportunity to test his skills while at Evergreen State College when he tried out for the school’s track and field team. VanderMay set the school record in 1988 during his junior season.

That record held until 2016. VanderMay went on to win his first national hammer throw title in 2017 within the 50-54 age group of the National Senior Games Association

in Birmingham, Alabama.

“I kind of forgot about it [hammer throw], but my old coach called me when I was 49, and said, ‘hey you’re eligible for the Senior Olympics next year,’” VanderMay said. “So I picked it up and started throwing again. It’s been fun.”

In conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic, VanderMay endured injuries that held him back from competing for almost three years. Despite all of that, he now boasts gold medals in seven different states and possesses two national titles.

VanderMay said the best parts of the experience have been getting to know the people involved in senior track and field competitions, in addition to having a reason to stay in shape at 56 years old.

Moore: State-leading triple jumper pushes through the pain Continued from B1

Her relay team of Faith Bartl, Kate Shintafer, Kate Desilets and Moore entered preliminary races with the fourthfastest time in the state. Their bi-district championship time of 1:50.18 broke a school record that had stood since 1994.

Rather than do one of her jumps and join them, she decided to squeeze in a second.

As she landed in the sand, her body weight twisted her ankle awkwardly, and she heard a “pop.” The entire landing was off, Moore said. When she stood up and began walking over to Nooksack Valley’s head coach Tyler Perry, she knew something was wrong.

“I was like ‘oh maybe I just rolled it.’ I have a history of rolling my ankles really bad,” Moore thought right after the landing, she said. “Walking over to Tyler, I could barely put any pressure on it.”

She wasn’t going to be able to run the relay. That much was clear. What it meant for her triple jump performance the next day was the unknown. As the trainer examined her ankle, she watched as her team ran around the track.

They were running right by her.

“It was hard to tell if her crying was because she knew she wasn’t going to be able to run that race, or the pain,” Perry said.

Moore had a high ankle sprain. That night, she and Perry went to the pool at the hotel so she could see how Nooksack Valley’s Tehya Moore (second from left) poses with her 4x200 relay team that broke the school record as well as their head coach, Tyler Perry, at the 2022 bi-district meet.

it felt with less pressure. She felt good about it, Perry said.

The triple jump was the next day on Saturday, May 28, at 12:40 p.m.

Moore had to decide whether she was going to give it a go, despite the swelling in her left ankle. To make matters worse, she leads with her left foot.

“It’s my senior year I’m just going to do it,” Moore said of her thought process. “I just had that mindset. The time came and I was like ‘yeah this hurts, but I’m just going to do my best.’”

She was going to have to push through the pain.

“It was pretty swollen the next morning, so we taped it up,” Perry said. “She was able to get four jumps off of it.”

After her fourth jump, she stopped. Her ankle hurt too bad, and she realized she wouldn’t be able to get much more distance, if any.

Her best jump of the day was 33-02.50 — more than 3.5 feet less than her personal record. She still managed to finish ninth in the state with a high ankle sprain on her lead leg.

The champion, Mia Hicks from Zillah, jumped 36-01.

Moore, at full strength, had already jumped 36-10 four times during the season and twice the week before state.

“Not everyone has an opportunity like that,” Moore said. “I was just really grateful for the season I had and what I could do at state even with the circumstances.”

Perry was in awe at what he witnessed, as was everyone around with knowledge of the situation. Moore was still top 10 in the state with a severe hindrance.

“It was amazing just that she went back out there and tried,” Perry said. “The little bit of solace we have is that

she’s going to compete next year at Central [Washington University].”

Moore’s story as a jumper is far from over. She will attend CWU in the fall and begin chasing a Great Northwest Athletic Conference title. If this season was any evidence, it’s clear Moore has what it takes to succeed at the next level.

“I think she’s going to be competing for a GNAC title in two years,” Perry said. “Right from the get-go, she’s going to be a top 10 jumper.”

Moore said she is excited to have a full-time jump coach in college that can help her refine the small pieces of her form and technique. Her goal is to reach a mark of 38 feet by the end of her freshman year.

Regardless of her performance as an athlete, Perry is confident CWU is getting an established leader and quality person. Moore began blossoming into one of the team’s primary leaders from the first day she stepped on the track at the beginning of the season.

“It was day one that she changed the mode of the track team,” Perry said. “She has a big personality that is pretty infectious.”

Moore said her style of leading stems from how she has always operated as an individual. It is also a collection of character traits that will port over well to collegiate athletics.

“I like everybody else to feel welcomed and that they’re appreciated,” Moore said. “If someone needs help, I’m willing to help them, I’ve always been like that … I want other people to have fun and enjoy their time here. I want people to have good experiences.”
