Heart by Heart
Former Heart members to play May 21 at Silver Reef Casino in Ferndale By Bill Helm bill@lyndentribune.com
FERNDALE — Steve Fossen considers himself a lucky man. When he and guitarist Roger Fisher formed the band in Seattle back in 1969, Fossen figured a 10year career as a rock and roller would be about right. Funny thing is that more than 50 years later, people “still love Heart, still listen to and appreciate our music,” he said recently. At 8 p.m. Saturday, May 21, Heart by Heart will perform at Silver Reef Casino’s event center in Ferndale. “Our mission is to perform the classic Heart music as faithfully
as we can,” Fossen said. Heart by Heart features founding Heart bassist Steve Fossen and original Heart drummer Michael DeRosier, as well as vocalist Somar Macek, guitarist/ keyboardist/vocalist Lizzy Daymont and guitarist Chad Quist. The band performs music from Heart’s 70s and 80s era. In an exclusive interview with the Ferndale Record and Lynden Tribune newspapers, Fossen said the band will play the Heart songs that folks have grown to love over the past four-plus decades. One of those songs, Magic Man, is the “very first song I recorded for See Heart by Heart on A7

Ferndale council keeps meeting at 5 p.m. for now But that will be monitored for how it works for average citizens By Cal Bratt For the Record
FERNDALE -- For now, carrying forward from two years of remote meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ferndale City Council hybrid meetings are staying
at 5 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of each month. Anyone may attend the meetings at City Hall Annex, 5694 Second Ave., in person or observe remote by Microsoft Teams livestream. But as Ferndale Municipal Code is being updated on council and committee meetings post-COVID, the possibility is being kept open that 5 p.m. is not such a convenient time for working people to attend. So spoke council member Ryan O’Larey to the issue at the May 16 meeting. O’Larey said he has heard some comment in his informal surveying that 5 p.m.
may be too early, and colleague Herb Porter agreed that going back to 6 or 7 p.m. may turn out to be better. The council will monitor participation in public hearing opportunities on into 2022. Convenience for city staff is a factor in favor of the earlier time. The main time for Ferndale city committee meetings, also both in-person and remote, is on the Wednesday mornings preceding a City Council meeting in main City Hall, 2095 Main St. In just a 20-minute session Monday: • The city officially ended two proclamations of local emergency. The first pertains to the public health threat posed by

COVID-19 beginning in March 2020. The second relates to the local flooding that happened in November and December 2021. • O’Larey noted that two rounds of application for $400,000 worth of Main Street grants, to help both existing and prospective businesses thrive in Ferndale, will be during June and July. • City spokesman Riley Sweeney called attention to a community meeting open to all at 6:30 p.m. May 31 at Pioneer Pavilion to learn “what’s going on” in Ferndale, and also the first Food Truck Friday along with a circus-like show, all at 5:30 p.m. June 3 in the Pioneer Village area.

Rescue program tackles abandoned rabbit problem By Leora Watson leora@lyndentribune.com
WHATCOM — Easter may have come and gone. But not for Lynden’s Bunanza Rabbit Rescue Ranch and Adoption Center. According to Elizabeth Olson, founder of Bunanza Rabbit Rescue, the rescue’s unpleasantly busy season is right after Easter. “Unfortunately anywhere from a few days after Easter up through about July or August, we’ll get deluged,” said Olson of the center, which is the only one of its kind in Whatcom County. In fact, Bunanza Rabbit Rescue Ranch and Adoption Center is the “only rabbit rescue north of Pierce County,” Olson said. “Officially, we serve King, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Island and San Juan Counties, though we have people who come from all over Washington state to both adopt and surrender rabbits,” Olson explained. “It’s not unusual to even have people come here from British Columbia or Oregon. Bunanza Rabbit Rescue Olson started Bunanza Rabbit Rescue seven years ago after someone abandoned an Easter rabbit on her property. “I fell in love with this rabbit and learned everything there was to know,” said Olson. Olson reached out to other people with rabbits in Whatcom County and joined rabbit Facebook groups to learn more about caring for them. It wasn’t too long after that that Olson rescued another domestic rabbit running down the middle
of Badger road, and the rescue began. According to Pet Keen, a website that specializes in articles on how to care for animals, around 80% of rabbits bought for Easter will die or be abandoned within the first year of ownership. “Believe it or not, in this day and age, it still happens that people get cute little easter bunnies and then abandon them anywhere from a few days to a few months after Easter,” said Olson. “If they’re lucky, they’re found and brought to a rescue or a shelter, if they are not lucky, they’ll die of starvation, disease or be eaten.” Overpopulation Another problem that can arise from people abandoning rabbits is the potential for overpopulation. A large colony of rabbits reside on Whidbey Island resulted from people dumping rabbits there for more than 20 years, according to Olson. Olson and others tackled a similar issue in Hovander Park in Ferndale a few years ago with a rabbit colony that had begun developing there. “We managed to catch them all and got them spayed or neutered and got them homes and there is no more colony there,” said Olson. Bunanza Rabbit Rescue does year round education primarily through social media to spread the word of the importance of not purchasing an ‘Easter bunny’ rabbit and to never abandon your rabbit. No-kill shelter Sparkle, a rabbit that the rescue currently has
Elizabeth Olson of Bunanza Rabbit Rescue in Lynden says that many people who buy rabbits for Easter end up discarding them within a year. (Leora Watson/Ferndale Record) up for adoption, was an easter bunny last year that was dumped by his owners. “They didn’t want him anymore a couple months after Easter and he was dumped in a park,” said Olson. “And he was fortunate enough that somebody found him and brought him here.” Bunanza Rabbit Rescue Ranch became an official nonprofit organization two years ago and has since then adopted out over 400 rabbits, averaging one adoption every other day, according to Olson.
“We’re a no kill [shelter],” said Olson. “So rabbits can be with us forever if needed. The longest we’ve ever had a rabbit was just over a year. I had a pair of brothers who were so traumatized by their previous life that it took them that long to calm down enough to be adoptable.” On average, rabbits are with the shelter for two months until they find a permanent home, according to Olson. Helping ‘as many rabbits as possible’
Laura Harr discovered Bunanza Rabbit Rescue Ranch through Facebook and currently has six rabbits she adopted from the organization. According to Harr, her first rabbit that she adopted from the rescue was an abandoned Easter bunny rabbit. “My first was a presumed Easter dropped off because of the time frame that it was found and it was super skittish when we got it but ended up taming fine,” said Harr. “I believe Bunanza prepares for the onslaught of bunnies by

Aborting Roe Editor, As the pro-abortion followers, along with the media, go crazy over the Supreme Court leak regarding Roe v. Wade, one has to remind oneself of the simple basics regarding this topic. Was Roe constitutional? Was the Supreme Court knowledgeable regarding the development of unborn life (50 years ago)? Was abortion ever brought before the people? Does it matter when a child is viable outside the womb? No to all these questions. Fifty years later, we
know abortion is not a necessary procedure. There are 15 pro-life centers in place for every abortion clinic. The government has multiple programs to help low-income women, such as WIC and welfare. Nonprofits such as Lydia Place, Agape House, New Way Ministries and the Whatcom County Pregnancy Center offer multiple free services, including tests, ultrasounds and counseling, even housing for mom’s needing help. Adoption is always an option for women who want to offer life to their child. So if Roe is taken off the federal books, abortion will still remain, but

There are even places where encouraging the river to create new or reconnect existing side channels could better protect our communities and improve our natural resources, though this too faces permitting hurdles and addressing any environmental impacts. The Federal infrastructure package provides a once in a generation opportunity to fund both big ticket and smaller actions that all together add up to a improve this place we proudly call home. Current grant sources are often restrictive and slow and many of you have struggled with this first-hand. Last legislative session Rep. Shewmake secured $750,000 to begin the planning process, and $2M to help the County buy properties in the way of the river. This funding is a down payment and going forward we need a sustainable and funded institution that combines staff expertise with community oversight to continue making our communities not only safer but places that thrive.

As far as Planned Parenthood, if they are so supportive of women and abortion, why don’t they offer any free abortions? The pro-lifers offer most all services free.

OBITUARIES Kristi Sue, and then Calvin. Sharon loved her family so well. An amazing work ethic flowed from Sharon everywhere she went. Whether she was a field boss in the berry fields, or clerking at Bosman’s gas station or Janick’s grocery store, she worked as unto the Lord. In later years, Sharon took care of the laundry for the Lynden School District and subbed in the cafeteria, where she made an impact on the lives of the students who walked the high school hallways. Psalm 1:2-3 tells us that those who meditate on the word of God will yield fruit in all seasons. Sharon loved the word of God and meditated on it day and night. The fruitfulness of her life was evident to those around her as they witnessed her passion for making our world a better place through her creativity and love. Sharon spent time crafting, baking, mentoring kids through the Be One The One program, leading Bible studies, play-
Sharon Maas Sharon Maas, 70, of Lynden, went to be with her Heavenly Father early Monday morning, May 9 after a long battle with cancer. Sharon was born Dec. 4, 1951, in Orange City, Iowa to Suzanne and Arthur VandeHoef. In 1959, young Sharon squeezed into a ‘59 Ford with her older siblings: Martin (deceased), Larry, and younger siblings Rodney, Arlis, and Darryl. They moved to Whatcom County, and once settled there, Sharon was blessed with four more siblings:Doris, Arnold (deceased), John, and Gary. As a young girl, Sharon helped out on the family farm and spent time caring for her younger siblings. Sharon met her sweetheart on a basketball rooter’s bus to Mt Vernon, and in June 1969, Alvin and Sharon Maas were married. They were blessed with two kids, first

David Hull David Hull, of Bellingham and Ferndale, passed away on Aug. 26, 2021, peacefully, in his sleep, at Whatcom Hospice House, from vascular dementia, at age 77. David was born Feb. 24, 1944, in St. Louis, MO, to Charles Granville Hull and Faith Nadine (Craven) Hull. The family moved to Southern California, where David and his two younger brothers, twins Bill and Bob grew up, living for many years in the town of Lemon Grove, near San Diego. David attended San Diego State University, receiving a

Paul Van Dyke Paul B. Van Dyke was born in Lynden on June 1, 1928, to Henry and Priscilla Van Dyke. He quietly passed away on Nov. 15, 2021, with family by his side. After high school, Paul served in the army during World War II. Upon his return home, he met and married his wife of 68 years, Fran-
ing with grandkids, resting and working at their cabin in Tonasket, making her famous almond sticks, organizing bazaars, and so much more. Her life was lived out in faith. Sharon had the best laugh. You’d hear it often as she was organizing fun activities for family functions, or playing pranks on one of her many family members. She was passionate about sharing her love of God, and did so in word and in deed. Sharon was a much loved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and loyal friend. Sharon leaves behind her husband Alvin of 52 years, their children Kristi (Marvin Arendse and three children Brendon, Colin, and Owen), Brendon (Cassidy and two daughters Kenynn and Jenna), and Calvin (Summer and their sons Simon and Charlie).

hood should care enough for women to give out free abortions. But this will not happen since they make millions on abortion. Human life is a God-given right, deserves protection under the law, and is a fundamental issue of morality. As we argue this topic, remember the party that stands for life, morality, and believes in God, and always vote pro-life. Juanita Verbree Spokesperson, Lynden Human Life Lynden
Codifying abortion Editor, Like so many things that have come out in the last year and a half, there is emotion and then the facts come out. I am not saying whether Roe vs Wade should continue. That is a constitutional debate. The Senate tried to pass a bill under the Commerce clause — that’s correct business. Here is my concern: The Senate voted on establishing a code for woman’s rights. The following part is most disturbing: (b) Purpose. It is the purpose of this Act (1) to permit health care providers to provide abortion services without limitations or requirements that single out the provision of abortion services for restrictions that are more burdensome than those restric-

tions imposed on medically comparable procedures, do not significantly advance reproductive health or the safety of abortion services, and make abortion services more difficult to access. The phrase “without limitations or requirements” means a woman can abort up to the birth of the child. That means to include while in the birth channel. Regardless of your view, this would put our nation in a position to accept infanticide, the killing of the newborn. As it turned out, this was defeated, but 54 voted in favor of this. It required 60.

Stay involved in reading Editor, I appreciate the hard-working librarians and staff at the Lynden library, whose jobs over the past couple of years have been extra-challenging. Thank you. I also appreciate receiving the Read On monthly email from the Whatcom County Library System. Sign up to receive it at wcls.org/read. It’s a great way to stay informed. The April 20 email, for instance, highlighted recommendations for young adult/teen (YA) reading. One line in particular caught my eye: Readers turn to YA
romances for queer representation while they wait for adult publishing to catch up. The email is simply stating things as they are. But the gist is that LGBTQ+ themes and positive portrayals of young people who experiment with those lifestyles have become mainstream in YA and children’s books. These are not your mom and dad’s coming of age themes. While that’s helpful to know, I’m guessing not everyone in this community appreciates that trend, especially as it’s aimed directly at vulnerable young readers. Yet the email also recommended several such books containing “queer representation.” Keep in mind these books are written by skillful writers with agendas that may be antithetical to yours. They make use of subtle (and not-so-subtle) advocacy — an inevitable byproduct of an author’s worldview. And make no mistake: story can change the way we see the world. As a grandparent, I recommend another direction, since our job is to nurture (and yes, protect) young minds. As a wise writer once told us, “Fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, pure, lovely, and honorable.” It’s good to know what’s on the shelves of our wonderful public library. But it’s even more important to help our kids make wise, healthy reading choices. Please stay involved Robert Elmer Lynden

Remembrance event to support anyone who has lost loved ones A remembrance event for anyone who has lost loved ones in the past year and beyond will be presented from 4-6 p.m. June 11 at Marine Park, 100 Harris Ave., Bellingham. The remembrance is free and will include an ocean-side wreath sending, a memory board creation, a brief remembrance and a reception with light refreshments. Children are welcome and an activity table will be provided for them. The remembrance is presented by Eden Health Hospice. “This is for family, friends and anyone who has a loss they would like to honor,” said Amy Bradley, executive director of Eden Health Hospice. “The passing of a loved one is hard, especially during the past two years when the COVID-19 pandemic restricted gatherings. Many decided not to have any service after a death, making it difficult for people to grieve their loss.”
People may donate items for the memory board, including photos that are 5 inches by 7 inches or smaller, notes and mementos. Memory board submissions must be received by delivery or mail by June 10 at the Eden Health Hospice office, 316 McLeod Road, Suite 104, Bellingham (behind Best Western Heritage Inn). RSVP is requested by calling 360-966-8593 or emailing Moira. Petaia@eden-health.com. Memory board submissions also may be emailed to that address. Eden Health Hospice provides medical care with an emphasis on pain management and symptom relief for patients with life-limiting illnesses, as well as emotional and spiritual support for patients and those who love and care for them. Its care process is designed to maximize a patient’s quality of life. For more information, call 360-734-5410 or visit eden-health. com.

Leading with loyalty Continued from A4
The mayor of Sumas campaign motto People First is not just a politician’s campaign rhetoric but as proven by former action his willingness to run in the upcoming primary in the 42nd District Rep. Position 2 demonstrates loyalty to serve for upholding the concerns of others. Although varied in skill set, a leader by past accomplishments can be evaluated for merit whether serving others for their benefit or not. The mayor of Lynden, Scott Korthuis, is also a man of commitment to solve
problems for others. Recently on The Farm Show Saturday a.m. post the mayor explaining the COW Milk water project he, true to his word from earlier programming, let the listeners know that he is still engaged in flood, water management resolution and meeting with the North Whatcom Small Cities Caucus and looking for ideas to protect people, farms and stewart fish in the Nooksack River Basin. One idea the mayor mentioned in examining “all the puzzle pieces” is the planning for storage of the body of water
collected to prevent another devastating and demoralizing monetary catastrophe for both U.S. and Canadian citizens. It was encouraging to hear that several weeks ago a group of government employees (wildlife, Ag and other agencies) actually had a reality check in the aftermath of this most recent flood. Both Korthuis and Christensen, like the president of the Ukraine, engage events, go toward a crisis, not ride into the sunset. In like manner, Washington State Sen. Simon Sefzik immediately after the flood waters
subsided met at Nooksack High School with flood victims and listened to all concerns. True to his word, as per his 2022 legislative session report, the senator proved trustworthy, loyal to his constituents and worked diligently on the $7.5 million appropriation for Whatcom Flood Relief and saw to the $2.7 million for flood response in measures to prevent massive flooding in the Nooksack Basin. Movies like Saving Private Ryan, The Hiding Place, Schindler’s List, The Zookeeper’s Wife are made about humans created by the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob for a. man or woman to have the potential for virtue, loyalty, honesty, integrity and actions that showcase a caring for others beyond self. I believe the men briefly given recognition bring hope, especially to the people impacted by loss and devastation. Hopefully, others will join these loyal, trustworthy statesmen and engage the problem solving and cooperation to manage the Nooksack River for the better good. -- Cynthia Ripke-Kutsagoist, RN, B.S., M.A.T. is a Lynden resident.

impactful. All of the ideas above came from a brainstorming session last week with farmers, cities, tribal nations, county flood staff, federal and state agencies. The goal is a series of near-term solutions and longer-term plans that improve how the whole system functions. The next step is engineering and modeling to identify the benefits and impacts of different conceptual ideas. With a
You might have noticed, there isn’t just one solution but multiple solutions that add up. And that is the point. When you have only one solution, that one solution could fail and result in catastrophe. But when you have 15 different solutions, one might fail but the others create enough safety such that the failure is less
better understanding of trade-offs and opportunities, we could see public listening sessions in 2022 to get wider perspectives of people impacted by changes to the river system. You might have had strong objections and concerns or excitement and interest. Please share ideas with us reducing water in one place means you are moving it to another, hopefully a place where it will be less destructive but evaluating that
requires a deep understanding of community. There will be tradeoffs but inaction is not acceptable when so much is on the line. What we saw in the brainstorming sessions was a powerful and strong commitment across our communities to mitigate flood impacts, make our communities safer and improve the overall functioning of our systems.
Don’t placate the placators of the ecologists and ecobureaucrats, and thus, they will go nowhere.

The report discusses solutions for our water crises, but the solution most favored is flood control by water retention. They call it storage, because the word dam is offensive, but to do so, dams will have to be built. So next comes the question, how are dams going to be built? Who will fund this? How long will it take to engineer plans and implement projects? How many ecological studies and regulations must be satisfied? How many eco-bureaucrat salaries will be paid for in the process? The report indicates weak support for sediment
removal (the word dredging is also too offensive.) On sediment removal, the report claims that removing sediment is lowcost and effective, which is true, but the report also says that sediment removal is not as effective as water storage (meaning, dams) in controlling water flow, and the report complains that sediment removal must be done continuously. How is continuous maintenance an objection? If the roads to various parts of the river were rebuilt, the sand-and-gravel dredging companies would be glad to do the dredging continuously for free. The only immediate
action we have left is to dredge the river. It’s spring now, and the window for action has opened, but what is happening? Nothing. The window closes in August. For years now, the selfdefeated County Council, the Whatcom County business community, and the State Representatives we have elected, have placated the citizens by appearing to be concerned, but without any intention to solve anything about the situation we face. This is all because of their unwillingness to take on the ecologists and the eco-bureaucrats. We need to back our
farmers and our community by fighting and not placating. We need our river dredged, and we need it dredged now. I suggest that everyone who has signed the Declaration of Disaster Emergency come in person on May 25 to the Lynden Fairgrounds and make your voice heard on dredging the Nooksack before the end of August. -- By Doris Smith, a writer who is tired of placation, and who wants her friends to fight this battle to save their existence and way of life.

Heart by Heart: Former Heart members to play May 21 at Silver Reef Casino in Ferndale
Heart by Heart will play at Silver Reef Casino in Ferndale on Saturday, May 21. Heart by Heart features founding Heart bassist Steve Fossen and original Heart drummer Michael DeRosier, as well as vocalist Somar Macek, guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Lizzy Daymont and guitarist Chad Quist.

Dreamboat Annie.” Fossen said if he had to pick, Magic Man is his favorite Heart song. “It’s got great drum work, great bass work, two electric guitar players,” Fossen said. “There’s a lot in that song.” ‘Whole vibe of it’ Fossen said his love of music started with Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and many of what he called the “girl bands.” “I loved the whole vibe of it,” Fossen said. “Rock and roll was so raw. You didn’t have to be great, but you had to have passion.” For Fossen, it was the sound of the bass guitar that hooked him. “The bass really thundered in the cars back then,” Fossen said. “The way the bass and the drums fit together. When I was 13, I heard The Beatles, and that changed my
life.” Paul McCartney was his first hero on the bass. “Of course the (Rolling) Stones and (Led) Zeppelin came along,” Fossen said. “The possibilities of the bass opened up.” Fossen said how fortunate he has been to have played music with DeRosier since the mid-1970s. “He’s a great drummer and a great person, a great friend all these years,” Fossen said. “He took up the drums in grade school. He really learned his craft.” Heart by Heart In 2008, Heart By Heart began as a duo when Fossen met Macek. On the group’s website, heartbyheart.com, Fossen explained that the pair started out by playing dinner parties, bistros and jam nights around town. By 2009, Fossen and Macek were dating.
Today, they are married. “We were so in love, we decided to call the project Heart by Heart,” Fossen stated. When booking agents began requesting a full band, Fossen welcomed the opportunity to again play professionally with DeRosier and to share the stage with Macek. Aside from regular repeat appearances around their Pacific Northwest home base, Heart By Heart has been touring the US since 2014, taking their show on the road to Performing Arts Centers, indoor and outdoor theaters, casinos, fairs and festivals. Fossen says that one of the most rewarding aspects of Heart By Heart is meeting with fans, who are encouraged to bring Heart memorabilia to shows for the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers to sign afterward. “We have people coming up to us after shows with tears in their eyes,” Fossen said. “They thank us for bringing back memories of those days. Somar and I started singing
these songs out a pure love for the material, and now that we’ve branched out and are touring around the country, it’s really rewarding to talk to fans and hear their stories and memories.” Heart by Heart at Silver Reef Casino At 8 p.m. Saturday, May 21, Heart by Heart will perform at Silver Reef Casino’s event center, at 4876 Haxton Way. According to the band’s website, Heart By Heart presents a powerful, dynamic show that includes all the favorite Heart hits such as Barracuda, Straight On, Crazy On You and Magic Man, as well as deep album cuts that Heart fans will love. “We take the music very seriously,” Fossen said. “Ann and Nancy Wilson are rock’s premiere sisters, and with Heart By Heart, we respect and honor that music we made together.” For tickets, visit silverreefcasino.com.

Lions’ season ends following 2-1 loss to Bayhawks By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com
BELLINGHAM – The Lions fought tooth and nail to keep their season alive. Such is the postseason, only one team leaves the field with another game on their schedule. “I thought we had it,” Lynden junior Trey Smiley said. “We played our hearts out in the Squalicum game, coming out banged up. I think we gave it our all, but there’s only so much you can do.” Lynden, the No. 4 seed in the 2A District 1 tournament, began the postseason with a narrow 2-1 victory over No. 5 Archbishop Murphy. They battled against undefeated, top-seeded Squalicum in the semifinals, but fell short 2-0. The Lions began the contest exactly how they drew it up, breaking the zeroes early. In the 15th minute, Lynden drove the ball in close after a missed shot on goal. Junior Collin Anker, Cody Postma, Colton Allison and senior Kole Antypas swarmed to the goal. Multiple cleats struck the ball at once, deflecting off a Bellingham defender just inside the right post, finding the net. The Lions took a 1-0 lead. The first half drew near a close with strong defense from both sides. Bellingham senior Ryan Diefel squeezed in a goal of his own before the break, sending both teams to the locker room in a tie game. Bellingham’s defense in the second half was next to impenetrable.

Lions, Pioneers, Mountaineers leading the pack into district tournaments By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com
WHATCOM – As is the case in a great many high school sports, northern Whatcom County fielded some of the top softball teams in the Northwest Conference this season. Lynden, Nooksack Valley and Mount Baker make up three of the top five teams in the league, with district tournaments just around the corner. Each team has had widely different journeys through their league and nonleague schedules, all while remaining among the premier competition in the NWC. Lynden, NV and Sedro-Woolley finished in a three-way tie for the league title, each crowned champions. Mount Baker and NV should fall within the top three seeds in the upcoming 1A District 1/2 tournament.
Lynden landed the No. 2 seed in the 2A District 1 bracket behind only SedroWoolley. Nooksack Valley (19-1, 13-1 NWC) The Pioneers have been literally unstoppable since March 24. NV lost to Lynden in a close 8-5 contest to start their season, falling to 0-1. They have won 19 straight games since, including victories over SedroWoolley, Mount Baker and Lakewood — all top five teams in the conference. While they are good at softball, it’s also the players themselves that make the team special. “They’re very respectful people; to each other and others around,” said Nooksack Valley head coach Tom Harmon. “Those are all just great things See DISTRICTS on B2

GIRLS TENNIS
nden tennis enters postseason a ter first ever lea ue title Newcomb sisters headed to state after districts performance By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com
LYNDEN – After 40 seasons coaching Lynden tennis, with both the girls and boys teams, head coach Trey Ballard and the Lions’ girls team secured their first Northwest Conference title in school history. “It was exciting because it’s so hard to do,” Ballard said. “You can have two good players and win a state championship or a district championship, but to win a league championship you need more players, good players.” The league is dominated annually by Lynden’s southern neighbors: Bellingham, Sehome and Squalicum. Winning a title seemed far out of reach most years due to a lack of depth the Lions had on the court.
That is until this year when all the pieces fell perfectly into place. “It’s a long time coming,” Ballard said. “To win a league championship, it’s been elusive for us over all the years because we can’t get 10 [players] deep.” Lynden beat Sehome in their first league match of the season. The Lions lost to Squalicum at the beginning of May. Bellingham and Sehome each beat Squalicum. On Tuesday, May 10, Lynden defeated Bellingham — the sole league leader at the time — to set themselves up for history. Going into the season, Ballard had no idea just how determined this year’s Lynden team was to be great. “No, actually I did not,” Ballard said about whether he thought they would win the title this season. “I thought we’d be mid-pack because we have a bunch of non-tennis player girls that are fighters. I didn’t realize how much fight they had in them.” Lynden’s final match of the season was a home contest against Lakewood. The Cougars were yet to win a match this season. The Lions won 7-0, capturing the league title. “The winning comes second to the fun, and this year has been not only winning but See ON TO STATE on B2

Districts: Making every pitch count Continued from B1
to be a part of. I’m just lucky to be with them.” NV boasts over an 8-run average scoring differential (10.5 RS to 2.3 RA), with seven games scoring more than 15 or more runs and six shutout wins. They are currently ranked No. 1 in 1A WIAA state RPI rankings since bumping Mount Baker from the top spot following their April 27 win over the Mountaineers. Mount Baker head coach Ron Lepper complimented the Pioneers’ talent and noted that the game helped his team learn a lot about themselves. “We learned a lot of things, I think some of the girls realized it’s not as easy as everybody thinks it is,” Lepper said. “Take nothing away from Nooksack, they’re really good. They might have the best pitcher in the 1A’s this year, in the state.” Senior pitcher Jordyn Relethford has been as good as they come at the high school level, both in the circle and at the plate. She has picked up 17 of the Pioneers’ 19 wins pitching during the regular season. NV has a plethora of consistently hot bats in their order, and they will look to continue that batting efficiency into the postseason. “I think the expectation for us, from what I see and hear from our kids, is to do what we do and play the way we play,” Harmon said. “That’s what they want to do.” Entering their first official postseason since 2019, the Pioneers just want to play softball as long as they can, Harmon said. “You can’t wait to get here,” Harmon said of the postseason. “You don’t know how it’s going to end up, but the only thing you can control is how you focus on doing what you do well.” NV’s first-round district matchup is yet to be determined, as seeding for the 1A District 1/2 tournament has not been fully released. Lynden (14-3-1, 13-1 NWC) Similar to the Pioneers, Lynden also lost their first game of the season — a 12-4 loss to Arlington. The Lions have won 11 of their last 13 games, including a stretch of nine straight wins that will carry over into districts. They also played just 18 games due to weather cancellations they were unable to make up. “We’ve been fortunate enough to get all of our games in-conference,” said Lynden’s head coach Ed Bomber. “We lost three games out of conference, but we got all of our in-conference games in.” Lynden’s only in-conference loss was to Sedro-Woolley, a 13-8 shootout in their sixth game of the season. Their wins against NV and Mount Baker display how equally skilled each of the top five NWC teams are. “We chose to play bigger schools and travel, whereas some of the other schools schedule differently — more schools their own size,” Bomber said. “We knew we had some rough opponents that were going to be difficult for us. That was by design.” The Lions outscored their opponents 186-77 in the regular season, a tighter spread than NV and Mount Baker, largely skewed by their difficult non-league schedule. Lynden is led offensively by seniors Ashlyn Alexander and Alivia Miller. Alexander is batting an incredible .596 average with 9 home runs. Miller isn’t far behind with a .537 batting average and 4 home runs. Seniors Emma Ramerman and Claire DeVries hold down the circle for the Lions, with Ramerman reserving a slight majority of innings pitched. She is 8-1 on the season with an ERA of 2.65 and has struck out 67 batters. DeVries, who is 6-1 on the year, holds a season ERA of 3.75 with 63 total strikeouts. The duo has proved
plenty effective for the Lions all season long. “Ashlyn and Liv have been over .500 all season, so there’s not much more you need to say about that. They just hit all the best pitchers on our schedule,” Bomber said. “Claire and Emma have been super solid in the circle, in the field, at the plate.” Before the season, the contributions of those four were expected, as the Lions’ senior leaders. The rest of the batting order was the question mark. “If you want to look for who surprised us, it’s that bottom of the order, those girls,” Bomber said. “We didn’t know what to expect, and they’ve all contributed throughout the year offensively and defensively. That’s why we’re at where we’re at.” Lynden will play the winner of No. 10 Bellingham and No. 7 BurlingtonEdison in the 2A District 1 quarterfinals on Wednesday, May 18. That game will be at 4 p.m. on field four of the Janicki Playfields in Sedro-Woolley. Mount Baker (16-4, 10-4 NWC) The Mountaineers began the season perfect, winning their first 14 games. They lost four of their last six to close out the regular season to SedroWoolley, Lynden, NV and Lakewood. “Of the top four teams in the league, we played three of those within four games,” Lepper said. “Which is OK. That’s what we want this time of year.” Mount Baker, despite those tough losses, has much to look forward to. They boast the widest average scoring margin out of these three teams at nearly nine (12.5 RS to 3.7 RA) with a 250-74 total differential. In short, when the Mountaineers win, they win big. “It’s kind of just how the schedule plays out, that we were able to get out early and kind of get going,” Lepper said. “We knew there are some quality teams in our conference that we were going to have to face, and we knew that was coming up.” The early season run caught a lot of attention from the other top schools and the community. That’s expected when you’re 14-0. Lepper said the team understands there is still work to be done, and past wins and losses don’t matter when it’s time for postseason softball. “Ultimately, like I told the girls, everything we want to accomplish is still ahead of us,” he said. “We have high expectations, but we still have to go out and earn it every day.” The consistent bat for the Mountaineers has been freshman Annalee Cohn, who has posted an eye-popping .613 average at the plate with 31 runs scored and 21 bases stolen. Freshman Gracie Zender, sophomore Ava Jeretsky and senior Kaitlyn Rosenburg have been the big hitters for Mount Baker, racking up a combined 14 home runs between the three. In the circle, Rosenburg is 9-2 with a 3.07 ERA, while Jeretsky is 7-2 and possesses a 3.26 ERA. The veterans of the team are complemented by a young core that has elevated the Mountaineers to one of the top 1A teams in the state. “We knew going in that we had a chance to be pretty competitive, and I think we’ve proven that,” Lepper said. “We never really talk about wins and losses, our major goal is to get to the postseason and then have a chance to get to the state tournament. That’s always been our goal; however that looks like.” Mount Baker’s first-round district matchup is not yet determined, similar to NV. Regardless, both teams will play their quarterfinal game on Thursday, May 19, at Janicki Playfields in SedroWoolley.

been an absolute blast,” Ballard said. “The camaraderie and the chemistry of this team is just unreal.” Postseason begins The Lions had six total entries into the district tournament: three singles and three doubles. Adia and Kalanie Newcomb headlined Lynden’s doubles as the No. 3 seed in the bracket. The pair had a bye in round one before winning their second round and quarterfinal matches on Friday, May 13. They were back in action on Saturday, May 14, defeating the No. 2 seed from Squalicum (Dylan McCoy and Lucy Walker) to advance to the championship match. The Newcombs lost, but the pair won the consolation final in a rematch
against McCoy and Walker on Monday, May 16, to secure a state bid (6-2, 2-6, 7-5). They will be Lynden’s lone representative heading to state. Lynden’s other two doubles teams in districts were Sage Anderson-Grace Rice and Abby Yaravoy-Mya VanderYacht. Anderson and Rice won their first match and upset the No. 8 seed in the second round. The duo lost in the quarterfinals and were eliminated in the consolation bracket. VanderYacht and Yaravoy were eliminated in round one. The Lions’ singles were comprised of Anna Samoukovic, Sierra Wyant and Mariah Baseden. Despite strong runs all around, Samoukovic was the last one standing. She defeated Baseden in the quarterfinals but lost in the third place match on Monday.
Cut short: Lions eliminated in consolation semifinal Continued from B1
break Lynden managed to pursue on the Bayhawks’ side of the field was quickly thwarted. That also opened things up for the Bellingham offense to get back in scoring position. “We just gave them way too much space,” said Lynden head coach Drew Smiley. “We were outmuscled most of the game, that was the problem. We were constantly fighting physicality.” Bellingham took their first lead of the game in the 44th minute, on a goal from senior Aiden Buckingham. Lynden wasn’t able to break through the Bayhawks’ defense the remainder of the half, and the final whistle was imminent. Then it came. The Lions have battled through a slew of injuries to many of their best players. They had done all they could. “No excuses on this at all, but we’re really beat up. Like, extremely beat up,” Drew said. “[Even if] we win this one,
what do we look like on Saturday?” Lynden finished their season 11-6-1 overall (10-3-1 NWC) following the loss, as they were eliminated from the 2A District 1 tournament. Drew said the team was much more successful than they had maybe expected to be at the beginning of the season. “It’s pretty amazing, we only have — on the field — we only have five yearround soccer players,” he said. “They did really well, you drive them as hard as you can, but they over-achieved there’s no doubt about it.” The team will graduate four seniors, three of whom were starters. Next season the team will boast 12 seniors on their roster, as much of the current team are juniors. “I’m just proud of these boys. We came in a fairly new team, not a lot of seniors,” Trey said. “Win or loss we always are there for each other, and I think a new family was born with this team.”

Spring postseason pushes forward Baseball, boys soccer state tournament brackets set; other district tournaments getting started By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com
WHATCOM – The spring postseason is in full swing. All regular-season schedules have been completed across all sports, and district tournaments are in various stages. Baseball 1A District 1/2 tournament, consolation semifinal: No. 3 Meridian 3, No. 8 South Whidbey 2 1A District 1/2 tournament, consolation final: No. 3 Meridian 4, No. 6 Overlake 3 Meridian pulled off back-to-back close wins with their season on the line in the first on Saturday, May 14. The Trojans secured themselves a regional berth after the win over South Whidbey and figured they would get a decent seeding boost from a win in the second. Despite defeating Overlake, Meridian was seeded at No. 14 in the 1A state tournament while Overlake got the No. 13 seed. The Trojans will face No. 3 Chelan on Saturday, May 21, at Wenatchee Recreation Park in the first round of regionals. The first pitch is set for 10 a.m. A win in that game would set Meridian up against either No. 11 Klahowya or No. 6 College Place on the same day. 2A District 1 tournament, championship: No. 3 Archbishop Murphy 5, No. 1 Lynden 4 The Lions fell one run short of the district championship in an 8-inning loss to Archbishop Murphy on Saturday, May 14. Overall the loss didn’t hurt Lynden’s state seeding too much, as the Lions landed
the No. 6 seed heading into regionals. Nevertheless, they will be traveling this week. Lynden will face No. 11 Enumclaw on Saturday, May 21, at Davis High School in Yakima to open up the tournament. The first pitch is set for 10 a.m., and a win there will set the Lions up against the winner of No. 14 Shelton or No. 3 Ellensburg the same day. Boys soccer 1A District 1/2 crossover: King’s 1, Lynden Christian 0 The Lyncs saw their season end in a loss to King’s from District 2 on Saturday, May 14. LC was poised for what looked like could have been a solid postseason run following their 1A District 1 championship win over Meridian, 3-1. Instead, the Lyncs couldn’t get anything going offensively in a loss that was as close as it gets. LC, which has 17 graduating seniors, finished its season 9-8-1 following the loss. 1A District 1/2 crossover: Seattle Academy 5, Meridian 0 District 1 won’t be sending any 1A boys soccer teams to state this year following Meridian’s loss to Seattle Academy on Saturday, May 14. The Trojans were knocked out of the postseason along with LC. Meridian wrapped up their season at 5-11-2 following the loss but will return 17 of their 18 players next season.
