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.

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.
