ELECTION 2021 — FERNDALE SCHOOL BOARD

Four vying for two school board spots

By Brent Lindquist brent@lyndentribune.com

FERNDALE — Lee Anne Riddle and Andrew McLaurin are running to re-take seats 4 and 5 on the Ferndale School Board, and Steve Childs and Peggy Uppiano (respectively) are challenging them for those seats.

Riddle has 16 years of experience working for Washington State University Extension SNAP-Ed supporting food access and healthy lifestyles on a budget with under-resourced families statewide, according to the county voters’ guide. Riddle is in her 16th year on the Ferndale School Board, and she said in an email interview with the Record that the biggest issue facing the Ferndale School Board is two-way communication between the community and the board.

“Finding innovative ways to continue those conversations so all voices are heard is one area where we strive for continuous improvement,” Riddle said. “I believe change in our public education system needs to happen at the state level.”

Childs works as a Boeing mechanic and is a lifetime member of Whatcom County.

In the county voters guide, he said he is looking forward to providing leadership and a common-sense approach in working alongside school administrators.

“My intention is to serve this community through active listening, open communication, and accountability,” Childs said in his candidate statement. “I will listen to and reflect the concerns of our community and work collaboratively with fellow board members to improve our schools.”

McLaurin is in his 10th year on the Board and currently serves as the Board liaison to the district’s Bond Oversight Committee and has served as Board president for the past two years. He is a speech and language pathologist.

In his candidate statement, McLaurin said he believes his 11 years of service can help continue the district’s success.

“The recruitment and selection process for hiring the new superintendent is underway. I was on the Board during the last superintendent search and am well versed in the selection process. Understanding the operations and goals of the district are of utmost importance in making the best choice. During the next year we will have an interim superintendent. I believe I will be a vital, supportive resource during this time.”

Peggy Uppiano has worked as an on-site tutor since 1980, according to her candidate statement, as well as in a role as a standardized test scorer and as an aide in Whatcom Community College’s ESL/citizenship class.

In her candidate statement, she emphasized that public schooling is a necessary option in an array of education choices that exist today. She See Board on A2

Halloween events coming up in Ferndale this weekend

By Brent Lindquist brent@lyndentribune.com

FERNDALE — For the past five years, Beth Hensley and her merry band of volunteers have haunted Ferndale.

They do so as part of What-

com Frightmare, in conjunction with the events put on around Halloween by the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce and the City of Ferndale.

Kicking off the evening will be the chamber’s Downtown Trickor-Treat from 3 to 5 p.m.

“Unlike years past, we will not be blocking off Main Street. A majority of the action is going to be happening on Centennial Riverwalk,” city communications officer Riley Sweeney said.

Trick-or-treaters can traverse Main Street via sidewalks, but candy vendors will be on hand at the Riverwalk.

“Once you reach the end of the Riverwalk, guess what, you’re at

Pioneer Park and it’s time for the Mystery in the Park,” Sweeney said. “That’ soigné to be a live, interactive, Halloween-themed mystery with local actors playing suspects in a bank robbery gone wrong, and participants get to interview the suspects, review the evidence and try and crack the case. All of that is free.”

FALL HOME & GARDEN

Gardening through the cold Multiple varieties can survive the harsher seasons

By Brent Lindquist brent@lyndentribune.com

FERNDALE — Ferndale mayor Greg Hansen kicked off the Ferndale City Council’s Oct. 18 meeting with a proclamation recognizing Gloria Perez for her years of working with the Ferndale Friendship Community Garden.

Perez is no stranger to gardening in Ferndale, having run the community garden for 10 years before recently retiring. She’s still active with the garden and with her own at home, and she knows a thing or two about gardening through the winter months.

For winter gardening, however, Perez said it’s important to start early.

“They probably should have planted something already,” Perez said in mid-October.

Many plants can’t stand up to the harsh winter weather, but many can. Perez mentioned carrots, broc-

coli, cabbage and beets as examples of vegetables that winter best.

“I plant this thing called purple sprouting broccoli and in July or August, from starts, and then it produces little broccolis early March or April,” Perez said. “For people who want to grow winter veggies, June and July and August is the time to start thinking about it.”

Winter garden varieties must be planted this early so they can grow to sustain the harsh winter weather, Perez said, and there are measures that gardeners can take in order to help their plantings survive the winter.

“I put straw over some things to help prevent freezing for root veggies,” she said.

The straw can help in the instance of a hard freeze, but getting snow on the ground before a hard freeze is actually helpful, Perez said.

“If the snow comes first, that’s kind of an insulation against the cold weather if the colder weather comes after,” Perez said.

Halloween Continued from A1

Downtown trick or treat and the mystery in the park are on Saturday, Oct. 30.

Pioneer Park is where Hensley and her crew come into play as well.

The Whatcom Frightmare haunted barn isn’t part of the city’s free events, as the barn is by donation, but it will be located in the park.

About five years ago, when Hensley was volunteering with Vista Middle School to create their haunted-house event, she had to find a new place to host the event.

“I thought Pioneer Park would be perfect,” she said. “At the time, my kid was in fifth grade at Vista.

Friday night was for the middle-school kids and Saturday was for the public.”

Once they moved on from the middle school, Whatcom Frightmare was born, and they have set up shop in Pioneer Park ever since.

“I like Halloween. I like doing stuff for the public.

And it’s a lot of fun to scare people,” Hensley said.

The Whatcom Frightmare haunted house will take place, with light scares, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Friday and Saturday, with full scares from 8:30 to 11 p.m. Full scares will again take place on Sunday from 5 to 9 p.m.

“If we do the light scare for the younger kids, all the lights in the barn are on. All my monsters are doing goofy dances and playing inflatable instruments, stuff like that. We have a tour guide who’s a gremlin, he guides them through,” Hensley said.

In full-scare mode, the lights are off, it’s dark and smoke machines create

“That’s where my actors do full scares, but no one touches anybody,” Hensley said. “My actors don’t touch people and people don’t touch my actors. If something happens, we

have security to help out.”

Much is being done to keep the scares under wraps this year. Hensley said she didn’t even show her actors a map of the barn’s 2021 setup until two days before they started placing it.

The event is $8 per per-

son or $25 for a group of four, and children under five are free. The haunted house is wheelchair-accessible, and the proceeds are split between the Fern-

dale Food Bank and the Lummi Boys & Girls Club.

There will also be food trucks and inflatable characters for photographs.

Everyone participant in

the haunted house is a volunteer, Hensley said.

ELECTION 2021 — WHATCOM COUNTY COUNCIL

Face off: Candidates for Whatcom County Council At-Large Pos. A Barry Buchanan I am a fourth-generation Whatcom County resident, US Navy Veteran, and dedicated public servant.

My priority is simple: keep the great quality of life we’ve had since my great- grandparents moved here over a century ago.

The differences between my opponent and I are clear.

I serve on the Whatcom County Public Health Advisory Board and work with my colleagues to ensure our community has the resources they need to

stay safe and healthy.

I believe in the science behind COVID-19 and the vaccines. We need steady and experienced leaders on our council as we continue economic recovery and fight against COVID. I’m pushing Whatcom County’s government to be smart and responsible with our tax dollars as we recover from this pandemic. As Chair of the County Council, I led budgeting efforts that set us on the course for recovery from See Buchanan on A4

Kamal Bhachu Whatcom County is the only place I’ve lived in the United States, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

My family immigrated when I was 15 years old with dreams of a better life. We found it in this beautiful corner of the country.

Self-determined, we invested in our new community with purpose, hard work, and a desire to serve our neighbors.

As your county councilman, I want to

continue serving my community by being your voice for jobs. I support Cherry Point, our economic engine that will drive us to the next generation of energy development.

I’ve been listening to my constituents lament over the rising homelessness and our crumbling infrastructure, and hear deep concern for those suffering mental illness, and absolute frustration over skyrocketing housing costs.

See Bhachu on A4

Face off: Candidates for Whatcom County Council District 3 positions, improving our EMS response times, protecting recreational boating, expanding housing options, and extending access to high-speed internet.

I have opposed countless tax increases. I’ve leveraged my experience managing finances and operations as a CEO to bring new innovative ideas and find improvements that can save our county millions.

I will continue fighting for your right to unbiased information by pushing our council, the county executive,

Tyler Byrd As a business owner, volunteer, and elected official, I have worked to bring our community together to solve challenging problems.

I believe we have an obligation to pass to our children, and future generations, a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant community.

As your representative, I promised I would fight for you - the District 3 community.

I have passed bills increasing the number of dedicated law enforcement

See Byrd on A5

Rebecca Lewis My name is Rebecca Lewis. I’m running for Whatcom County Council, District 3. Since 1998, my husband and I have raised our family in the beautiful area of Deming.

I’m a mom of an autistic, non-verbal son, and I am involved in the special needs parental community. My daughter is a 2021 Mount Baker High School graduate. I’ve been a public school teacher for 20 years in the Sedro-Woolley School District, teaching seventh and eighth grade history

and English, and for the last three years, I have proudly served as the Sedro-Woolley Education Association president.

During this time of unprecedented change, I have taken strength and joy in helping others. And now I’m ready to bring that energy to the county council. For far too long, District 3 has been the forgotten people in Whatcom County. Since we have so many possibilities in front of us, we need to change that narrative.

See Lewis on A5

Face off: Candidates for Port of Bellingham Commissioner District 1 Michael Shepard The mission of the Port of Bellingham is countywide economic development.

That is exactly what we have done for the past four years while I have been a commissioner and will continue to do in the future.

Prioritizing the core services of the port facilitates family-wage jobs that support the people of Whatcom County. Some projects I have worked hard on include broadband internet expansion to eastern Whatcom County, expansion of our manufacturing economy, redevelop-

ment of Bellingham’s Waterfront District, and building more green-tech jobs.

Blaine Harbor is a Port property and we have also worked to revitalize that property for more employment and use.

Finally, I will continue environmental cleanups that support a healthy marine environment and work to support the longevity of our waterfront communities.

Port infrastructure is especially vulnerable to sea-level rise and the impacts of climate change result in See Shepard on A5

John Huntley The Port of Bellingham is the economic driver of Whatcom County. We need it to play a bigger role in attracting industrial companies and high-paying jobs in Whatcom County, especially in the aftermath of a pandemic and the closure of Alcoa Intalco Works.

Intalco’s closure led to 700 Whatcom County residents losing good jobs and affected countless contractors, suppliers and non-profit organizations.

Without an operating business on the

property, its lower tax valuation will affect schools, local governments and other taxpayers. Given the industrial zoning and port at the former Intalco site, the Port of Bellingham should be actively working to attract another company.

A lifelong Whatcom County resident, I know we can’t let it stand idle for decades as we did in Bellingham when Georgia-Pacific closed.

Port of Bellingham commissioners must continue to strongly support our local See Huntley on A5

Face off: Candidates for Port of Bellingham Commissioner District 2 Ken Bell I am running to finish we have already started. We took back property from Harcourt and will aggressively pursue completion of the waterfront district.

The Fishing Pavilion will be completed and will host fresh seafood markets and events.

After a landmark agreement with the Lummi tribe; moorage for them and infrastructure repairs for us, we are hoping to build on that relationship, possibly a new hatchery.

The Port will soon be operating with

100% renewable energy.

Water will be a huge concern for our farmers.

We will Make shoreline improvements to mitigate environmental impacts.

Economic Development: We landed Southwest Airlines, it’s just the beginning of expanding business at our airport.

Now we need to make sure we have affordable housing for all the jobs we are creating.

Cleanup of contaminated properties will continue. We will support our waterSee Bell on A5

Kelly Krieger Our Port is meant to be an engine for sustainable economic development throughout our county. Our economy is made up of fishing and maritime trades, agriculture, and a wide range of small businesses. Attracting and keeping business in clean energy and tech, as well as growing our workforce of skilled tradespeople, is our pathway to a sustainable future.

But we have failed to create an environment for these businesses to thrive. We’re a decade behind other communities on affordable broadband internet, the waterfront development has lacked focused leadership, and we’re lagging on What-

com’s climate goals.

I’ll be a fresh voice on the commission for a Port with the tools to adapt to a changing economy.

It’s way past time to invest in highspeed public internet. Anacortes has had a public internet option since 2019, and we saw how helpful it was as they navigated through the pandemic. High speed service to our entire county is an economic necessity, and also an issue of equity. Our businesses, family farms, and working families depend on it for education, health care, and economic growth.

Offering internet as a public utility would reduce costs significantly and create competition with near-monopolies like See Krieger on A5

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Dorothy McFall, beekeeper

By Bill Helm bill@lyndentribune.com

CUSTER — Custer resident Dorothy McFall is a beekeeper.

An organic beekeeper and the owner of Whatcom County Apiary/McFall Beeyard, McFall actually grew up wanting to work for NASA – and to drive a red car. However, she’s been tending to bees for 12 years now.

“I organically raise bees that pollinate Whatcom County,” McFall said. “Bees are great for the ecosystem, so I am very proud of our pollinator friends. We help small farms and gardens in our community who are looking for pollination.”

The family business also produces and sells raw honey, raises queen bees, and renders beeswax.

“I love educating the public about bees and the pollination that they perform,” McFall said. “Bees are necessary for the food that people and animals eat. Bees are such amazing creatures.”

When she’s not working, McFall enjoys cooking and reading books to her children.

Lynden Tribune: Which around-the-house task is your least favorite?

Dorothy McFall: Laundry, emphasis on sorting socks. Since I have a family of 6, we seem to have a never-ending supply of (dirty) laundry. Socks disappear, eaten by the dryer according to the kids, and they’ve come to terms with mismatched socks. I’m hoping Elon Musk invents

an affordable laundry sorter and folder.

Tribune: What is your favorite food?

McFall: Albondigas (Mexican meatball soup).

I have a secret family recipe of albondigas that has been passed down through at least four generations. In keeping with my family tradition, I’ll pass on the secret recipe to my daughter on her wedding day.

Tribune: What music do you have in your vehicle right now?

McFall: The kids have commandeered the radio … we listen to “The Wheels on the Bus” and “Down by the Bay” these days.

Tribune: What is your favorite hobby or recreation?

McFall: My favorite hobby is beekeeping; my second favorite hobby is learning new languages.

Learning languages is like a fun game to me. Spanish is my first language, but I am totally fluent in English. I also speak a good amount of Italian, French, and a smattering of Latin. I hope to tackle German someday.

Tribune: What is your favorite sports team?

McFall: I don’t watch a lot of sports, but since I like to support local, I cheer for the Seahawks.

Tribune: What’s the biggest thing on your bucket list?

McFall: Write a children’s book about bees.

Tribune: Tell us something about you that very few people know.

McFall: I’m a master beekeeper. I’m happy to be

I am also a first-generation immigrant who was fortunate to have studied in the United States during the school year and went to a

village school in El Salvador during American summer vacation. My parents couldn’t speak a word of English, but they worked very hard and supported me and my siblings as best they could. I worked my way through college and completed a master’s de-

gree. I am still amazed at how you can accomplish anything in America if you want it badly enough.

DeWaard & Bode matches donations to celebrate 75th anniversary Locally owned appliance and mattress retailer DeWaard & Bode celebrated its 75th anniversary in October by supporting three food banks in Whatcom and Skagit counties.

DeWaard & Bode matched donations made in October up to $50,000. The proceeds will be split among Bellingham Food Bank, Helping

Hands Food Bank of Skagit County and Lynden-based Project Hope.

Donations may be made at either of DeWaard & Bode’s two Bellingham stores – the main showroom at 3944 Meridian St. or the outlet store at 4175 Hannegan Road – or its Burlington showroom at 1611 S. Burlington Blvd.

Donations for all three food

banks also may be made online at dewaardandbode. com/anniversary-sale.

“We care about our community – the nonprofit organizations, the businesses and the people,” said Jerry Roorda, owner and president of DeWaard & Bode. “Our business isn’t just based in the Whatcom and Skagit communities; we

are from here. We grew up here, our employees live and raise families here and every day we are in hundreds of homes with deliveries and repairs of the appliances they depend on. Our roots are in this community and we care about that.”

DeWaard & Bode’s roots extend back to 1941 when the Kredit DeWaard store

opened in Lynden, selling everything from automobile tires to some of the first major home appliances introduced to Northwest Washington.

In 1946, Kredit retired and Rube Bode joined his brother-in-law, Jake DeWaard, to form DeWaard & Bode. Over the years, the company focus shifted to selling and servicing major appliances.

“We may have grown through the years, but we are still locally and family owned and operate on the same values that DeWaard & Bode’s founders stood by: honesty, integrity, and a commitment to serving our community,” Roorda said.

For more information, call (360) 733-5900 or visit DeWaardandBode.com.

Washington gasoline prices fallen 1.8 cents per gallon in past week, now averaging $3.78/gallon Washington gas prices have fallen 1.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.78/g on Oct. 25, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,666 stations in Washington.

Gas prices in Washington are 1.4 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.10/g higher than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Washington is priced at $3.23/g, while the most expensive is $4.29/g, a difference of $1.06/g.

The lowest price in the state today is $3.23/g while the highest is $4.29/g, a difference of $1.06/g.

The national average price of gasoline has risen 3.8 cents per gallon in

the last week, averaging $3.36/g.

The national average is up 17.1 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.21/g higher than a year ago.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, said that gasoline prices “continued to soar” in a majority of the nation over the last week as oil’s meteoric

rise pulls gasoline and other refined product prices higher.

However, he said, “there may be some light at the end of the tunnel.’

“The sharp rise we’ve seen over the last three weeks should begin slowing down soon, barring another jump in the price of oil,” he said. “This is because gasoline prices have now largely caught up to

the jump in oil that started nearly a month ago. This isn’t an all clear for the future, however, as oil prices could rise again at any time. But for now, oil has held around $83 per barrel, and without a further climb, gas price increases should slow down soon in the bulk of the nation.”

financial impacts of the pandemic.

Over the last four years, I have sponsored and passed bills committing longterm funding to affordable housing and homelessness; brokered a compromise to preserve jobs at Cherry Point for the long term and protect our environment; crafted the voter-approved levy to make countywide emergency medical services even stronger; and worked to create alternatives to jail for those suffering mental health crises.

I’ve helped preserve our farmlands, forestlands, and waterways by responsibly managing our growth.

A couple years back, frustrated by the lack of progress, I founded the Whatcom Homeless Strategies Workgroup.

It required all the local stakeholders to sit around one table and look each other in the eye, so we finally made headway on real solutions.

I believe we need to seriously improve government investment in workforce housing, permanently-affordable housing, and supported housing. We need strong, smart regulations in place to ensure that private, market rate development is socially, economically, and envi-

standing of our community’s needs. I aspire to break the career politician cycle and bring a renewed energy and fresh ideas

Whatcom County Council District 3: Candidates face off Lewis, continued from A3

My priorities as your next elected official are to work on the large umbrella of infrastructure.

This includes addressing the medical, food, and childcare deserts. Updating our roads and bridges, so they can support large vehicles, especially transit and first responder vehicles.

Climate change is here to stay, so in the short term we must work to support our

farming community, large and small, as they navigate droughts and high temperatures.

We must work collectively as a council on the Climate Action Plan for sustainable long-term solutions.

Housing affordability continues to be a crisis, and we need to work with all stakeholders from elected officials to businesses to community organizations and community members to establish best practices and policies that will continue to

Conservation groups challenge Washington’s artificial ‘fix’ to killer whale, salmon recovery Recently, conservation organizations Wild Fish Conservancy and The Conservation Angler filed suit against the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for its repeated refusal to follow state environmental laws when setting statewide hatchery policy, including when it recently embarked upon a massive expansion in the production of hatchery salmon that could cause irreparable damage to fragile wild fish populations and to endangered Southern Resident killer whales.

Filed in King County Superior Court, the lawsuit alleges that the Department has been ignoring the requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) since 2018, when it suspended key components of a science-based hatchery reform policy designed to prevent state hatcheries from continuing to contribute to the decline of wild populations of salmon and steelhead and from impeding their recovery.

This significant action to abandon science-based hatchery reform was taken without any public notice and was widely criticized, including in a letter signed by 77 prominent fisheries and orca scientists and advocates, who called on Governor Inslee to reinstate the science-based policy recommendations and an-

other letter delivered to the Washington legislature by five former Fish and Wildlife Commissioners responsible for implementing the hatchery reform policy in the early 2000s.

After neutralizing the safeguards provided by this hatchery reform policy, the lawsuit alleges, the Department began to massively increase hatchery production of Chinook, coho, and chum salmon at state run facilities, purportedly to provide more food for Southern Resident killer whales.

However, the Department did not support its hatchery expansion plan with any evidence that the Southern Resident killer whales would actually eat or be sustained by hatchery salmon. Killer whale scientists agree the whales subsist primarily upon older and larger Chinook that are found almost exclusively in the native Chinook populations that hatcheries have failed to produce, protect, or restore.

Even worse, the Department refused to engage in the SEPA process, including drafting an environmental impact statement that would have assessed any and all potential adverse impacts of the proposed hatchery expansion on both threatened wild salmon and steelhead populations and on the starving Southern Resident killer whales.

Recently, conservation organizations Wild Fish Conservancy and The Conservation Angler filed suit against the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for its repeated refusal to follow state environmental laws when setting statewide hatchery policy. (Courtesy photo) Hatcheries have long been recognized as one of the four primary threats to wild fish populations.

“The Department took a big gamble, with the only certain payoff going to Washington’s fishing industry, while all the risks are borne by our orcas and wild salmon populations,” said David Moskowitz, executive director of The Conservation Angler. “But state environmental law does not allow the Department to risk the future of our fish and wildlife on such an unproven strategy — it requires our agencies to make well-informed decisions based on a careful analysis of the potential adverse environmental impacts of their actions.”

In 2020, at the same time

the Department was actively implementing massive hatchery increases without environmental scrutiny, the Department released a report titled ‘A review of hatchery reform science in Washington State’ that found “hatcheries have potential for large magnitude ecological impacts on natural populations that are not well understood, not typically evaluated and not measured” and that “... a focus on efficiency and maximizing abundance prevents widespread implementation of risk reduction measures.”

What’s more, the report recommended that prior to increasing hatchery programs, more environmental review was necessary to evaluate cumulative hatch-

tion to feeding the starving population of Southern Resident killer whales. The problem is that scientists know that producing more hatchery fish is not going to solve the problem, and will likely make this crisis worse,” said Kurt Beardslee, executive director of Wild Fish Conservancy.

“As ridiculous as it sounds, reducing overharvest of the whales’ primary food wasn’t even considered as an acceptable solution by the Governor’s Southern Resident Orca Task Force and other resource managers. Instead, the plight of the Southern Residents provided an opportunity for powerful commercial and recreational fishing interests to push for massive increases in hatchery production, putting our orcas and wild salmon at even greater risk,” Beardslee says.

CROSS COUNTRY

PREP VOLLEYBALL

Bellingham, Sehome excel in NWC meet

Lions hand Trojans first loss of season

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

BELLINGHAM - All the Northwest Conference cross-country teams were at Civic Stadium on Wednesday, Oct. 20, to compete in a 16-school meet.

Runners began on Civic’s discus field, proceeding to loop around the stadium three times before moving to mile two.

They would then run along the tree line, around the corner of Puget Street, working back towards the stadium via the Civic Field Park Trail.

That would be both mile two and three, finishing on the north side of the field’s track.

The girls’ race kicked off the varsity runners at 4:40 p.m.

Anacortes junior Jessica Frydenlund took first (18:04.10), while Meridian senior Kayla Aalpoel brought home second (18:57.10). Sehome junior Evelyn Buetow rounded out the top three (19:20.30) for the girls’ race.

The final standings are calculated based off the schools’ top seven runners. Anacortes, Sehome and Bellingham took the three top spots, while Meridian (No. 5), Lynden (No. 8), Lynden Christian (No. 10) and Mount Baker (No. 12) all qualified.

Ferndale and Nooksack Valley didn’t qualify for an official team score.

Despite that, Ferndale freshman Katie Manly finished 16th out of 95 total runners.

For the boys’ race, Bellingham junior Will Giesen finished first (16:24.70).

LC junior Andrew Luce (16:40.00) followed Giesen at second, as Sehome senior Kiefer Law (16:42.10) brought home third.

Lynden sophomore Gage Ellis crossed the finish in sixth (16:54.50). Ferndale senior Raleigh Granara (17:40.30) took 33rd out of 130 runners overall.

For team scores, Sehome, Bellingham and Anacortes were the top three, respectively.

Lynden (No. 7), Meridian (No. 10), Mount Baker (No. 11), LC (No. 12), Ferndale (No. 14) and Nooksack Valley (No. 16) all placed in the standings.

This meet will seem small compared to the beginning of the postseason next week, as Lakewood hosts the District One Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Oct. 30.

It will be a 20-school meet at the Lakewood School District campus.

Lynden won 3-2, winning fifth straight against previously 12-0 Trojans

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

LAUREL – The Lions upset the Trojans Thursday night, handing Meridian their first loss of the 2021 season (27-29, 25-18, 23-25, 25-20, 15-8).

In order to beat a great volleyball team like Meridian, it had to be a fullteam effort.

That’s exactly what Chris Elsner, Lynden’s head coach, got from her team in the match-deciding fifth set “We played so collectively; it took ev-

erybody. It wasn’t one person carrying the weight,” Elsner said. “Our big focus was ‘swing to win.’ We can’t send free balls, we have to attack.”

It was just the second five-set match either team had played all season. Both teams had won those respective matches.

Meridian’s, however, was much more recent – they defeated 4A Kennedy Catholic in five on Saturday. This was the Trojans’ third game in four days.

The first set brought an intense inaugural competition from both teams that

included 16 ties and nine lead changes.

Meridian managed to come out on top, 29-27, after a critical 3-0 run that sealed it.

Unfortunately, the Trojans would be playing the rest of the game without their primary setter, Malaysia Smith.

She left the match with an apparent ankle injury late in the first.

Lynden came back with a vengeance, leading the entire second set – albeit narrowly. Their largest lead was four See LIONS on B2

PREP FOOTBALL

Lyncs shutout Mountaineers in defensive showcase Lynden Christian defeated conferenceleading Mount Baker 12-0 on Friday night

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN – Offensively dominant or not, the Lyncs found a way to win.

The Lyncs and Mountaineers each scored 40-plus points in their respective games last week.

If you were expecting a shootout, you may be sorely disappointed.

That’s not to say it wasn’t a good football game.

Both defenses were stout all evening. During the first half, each offense struggled to crack the opposition’s 30-yard line.

Deep balls were consistently broken up; hand-offs inside the tackles were quickly stuffed.

The first quarter began with a run-heavy attack from both teams. Neither made much progress. Long drives were consistently ending in punts, and the consistent rushing attack made for a speedy opening period.

“The weather didn’t help us, we like to throw the ball around so that didn’t happen like we wanted it to,” said Dan Kaemingk, LC’s head coach. “Kade Eldridge, he was just a man tonight, and

then Will Colwell behind him.

That was good to see. I’ve been doing this for 30 years; I like it when we run the ball. That makes me really happy.”

Kade Eldridge, LC’s junior tight end turned running back, got the bulk of the carries for the Lyncs. He has stepped in as a ball carrier due to team injuries but

continues to grow every week.

Eldridge said it was an interesting adjustment, but he’s become more confident as the Lyncs’ primary runner.

“It feels really good being able to play running back now,” he said. “At the beginning, it was a little rough because I was just trying to pick it up since it was the

first time I had ever played it, but now I’m a lot better at it.”

Mount Baker began the second with the ball. Mountaineers senior quarterback and linebacker Davin Beason took a shot to fellow senior wide receiver Wyatt Pettigrew on fourth-and-long, which was incomplete.

With seven minutes left in the

half, the Lyncs prepared for another punt.

The Mountaineers were flagged for running into the kicker while also fumbling the return.

LC declined the penalty after recovering the fumble, giving the Lyncs the ball on their own 46yard line.

They still couldn’t get any consistent offense rumbling.

A few traded punts later, it was halftime.

LC’s first drive of the second half stalled in three plays. Mount Baker would get a chance to turn things around early in the third.

A pass interference call gave the Mountaineers 15 yards and a key first down. Lyncs senior defensive back Sam Penner wasn’t having it. With nine and a half minutes in the quarter, Penner intercepted a Beason long bomb that planted LC at their own 30yard line.

Mount Baker’s defense continued to hold strong, stopping the Lyncs and forcing yet another punt from inside the Mountaineers’ 50-yard line.

Senior punter Caleb VanDyken put up a beautiful kick that was downed inside Mount Baker’s one-yard line. Due to the field position, the Mountaineers’ kick that ensued was nearly blocked.

It was a high-arcing kick that provided the Lyncs quite favorSee LYNCS on B4

until they cracked 20 points, embarking on a 7-3 run that closed it out by seven.

“We all played for each other,” Lynden sophomore Grace Rice said. “We were getting excited when people got a kill, we were playing for each other and that’s what helped us take that next step.”

There would be a minimum of two more sets on the way.

The third was another backand-forth affair that seemed like it could end in favor of either team. Each team exchanged narrow advantages early.

Whenever it seemed like one team had the momentum, the other battled right back into it.

The Trojans used their second timeout while trailing 20-16. They subsequently mounted a 7-2 run that gave them a one-point lead late. A few volleys later, Meridian went up 2-1.

Late in the fourth, neither team had led by more than two points as long volleys were falling in both teams’ favor. Lynden tied it up at 20, and the Lions took off from there.

A block by Lions sophomore Ashley Shumate put the Trojans into a scramble, and the ball went into the net to seal it for Lynden.

Scoring six unanswered, including the point to tie, they took the set by five.

The fifth and final set began exactly how the Lions hoped.

They jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead that had them carrying all the momentum.

Once again, the Trojans were quick to flip that narrative on its head.

Meridian battled back to an 8-all tie. On this night, though,

the Lions had an extra gear they got into at just the right time.

A ferocious kill by sophomore Haylee Koetje catapulted Lynden into a 7-0 run. Koetje capped the game off with another one that landed just inside the back line.

The Lions won it 15-8.

“I was just thinking ‘we got a perfect pass off of this, Grace [Rice] got a perfect set up; I’m killing this,’” Koetje said.

Elsner said she believe it was a great match to boost both teams into the postseason. One team had to win, of course, but both programs battled until the end.

She added that getting a victory against a team as powerful as Meridian helps them feel confident about the main things they have been working on as a team.

“It solidifies the things that we’re doing in practice, the little things,” Elsner said. “Our hitters never hit line, and we worked on hitting line for a week. They just came out and started smoking on the line, and it’s hard to make that transition on a skill into a match.

They just did it with conviction.”

Shumate finished the match with a team-high 18 kills, 13 digs and 2 blocks while Koetje tallied 12 kills and 24 digs.

Rice stuffed the stat sheet, tying junior Kayla De Jong for a

team-high 4 blocks to go along with 34 assists, 13 digs, 4 kills and 4 aces.

Sophomore Mya VanderYacht totaled 20 digs and 3 aces, as junior Lucy White finished with 6 aces and as many digs.

The Lions moved to 9-3 overall (9-2, NWC) with the win. They have since defeated Mount Baker and Blaine, and now sit at 11-3 overall (11-2 NWC).

For the Trojans, senior Finnley Claeys led the team in kills with 16 to accompany 15 digs.

Senior Jolena Hoefer was close

behind her with 15 kills and 13 digs.

Sophomore Emry Claeys and senior Skyleigh James each finished with 9 kills and 2 blocks.

Junior Hayden Claeys had 32 assists and an ace while filling the primary setter role after Smith’s injury; junior Avery Neal put together a nice game with 27 digs and an ace of her own.

Meridian fell to 12-1 after the loss but have since won their last two contests against Sehome and Mount Vernon. They are now 14-1 (12-1 NWC) on the season.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Grace Rice delivered a big performance on Tuesday to help Lynden beat the undefeated Meridian Trojans. She finished with 34 assists, 13 digs, 4 kills and tied a team-high in blocks with 4. The Lions are currently 11-3 on the season.

Joy Krumdiak

Joy Krumdiak lives life of servitude

By Elisa Claassen, for the Tribune

Joy Krumdiak’s life revolves around being of service to others – and much of it relates to their safety.

In a speech to accept an award, Krumdiak said, “It’s been engrained in me as a child on up that helping other people makes you feel better. Yes, I really do like to help other people. I’ve been a people person for as long as I can remember. I enjoy knowing that someone got a little bit of help from something that I helped with.”

The Whatcom County resident has been a volunteer since she was 14 years old. She remembers beginning her volunteer career as a water safety aid and volunteered “at my local swimming pool helping teach swimming lessons.”

She continued using her safety skills as a lifeguard at American Sunday School Union summer camps. Later, in adulthood and married to husband Bryan Krumdiak, they together took first aid training from the American Red Cross and eventually upgraded to becoming instructors to teach others.

She has also trained as a certified medical assistant, considers herself to be a poet, and has her bachelor’s degrees in education and fine arts.

Between the two, they volunteer at their church in music, teaching and other activities. They are also 4-H leaders. Their current club is the K9 Kapers 4-H club.

Joy took CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training “because it would help me with duties of my job,” she said.

“I kept up with it because of the importance of being prepared,” she said. “I took safety education in college and CERT was a complement to that training.”

The CERT volunteers were called upon both during times of crisis in the community and during the start of the COVID response from the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Command Center.

Even her health has provided another reason to volunteer.

“I have been the Northwest Washington Ambassador for UMDF (United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation) since about 2000 when I was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease,” she said. “If I can help answer questions, help calm someone or just be an advocate, that is fulfilling.”

Mitochondrial Disease is an inherited condition, according to the UMDF.org website. “When mitochondria cannot convert food and oxygen into life-sustaining energy, cell injury and even cell death follow.

When this process is repeated throughout the body, organ systems begin to fail and even stop functioning.”

In 2020, Joy Krumdiak received the Stanley A. Davis award from UMDF to honor the late board chairman. He was dedicated to service.

The award is given to a volunteer who exemplifies Davis’ service.

“It's their most prestigious award for volunteering,” she said. “I felt truly humbled. I did not expect that at all.”

Hermanutz, Heeringa’s hard work has paid off

The Lions are 7-1 overall, led offensively by firstyear starters Lane Heeringa, Kaedan Hermanutz

By Connor J. Benintendi connor@lyndentribune.com

If you paid close attention to Lynden football’s junior varsity squad last year, the Lions’ varsity dominance this season probably comes as no surprise.

A year ago, Lynden’s JV team went 8-0 while outscoring their opponents 329-18.

The leaders of that offense? The Lions’ current varsity backfield duo of quarterback Kaedan Hermanutz and running back Lane Heeringa.

“I was able to watch them on JV, literally — no offense — tear it up,” said Blake VanDalen, Lynden’s head coach. “Lane and Kaedan, specifically, they were tornados on JV. Those were blowouts.”

Both juniors, Hermanutz and Heeringa are a big reason why Lynden just secured the 2A Northwest Conference title on Friday night, defeating Archbishop Murphy 38-14.

The Lions are now 7-1 on the season and 5-0 in their league contests. They have won their last six in a row.

This exceptional run toward the conference’s top spot has been long in the making for the duo — even before they took JV by storm.

Heeringa moved to Lynden from San Diego when he and Hermanutz were in seventh grade.

The two became friends almost right away but didn’t share a football field until they were freshmen.

“Coming into freshman year we knew we were going to be back there together,” Hermanutz said.

“I think it just helped a lot that we were friends beforehand because it makes it fun in the backfield.”

That chemistry has built over time. It became crucial heading into this season, as both Hermanutz and Heeringa were moved into starting roles on the Lions’ varsity roster.

Lynden played six games in the 2020 abbreviated season. Starting quarterback Baylor Ayres and running back Caleb Wheeler were both seniors. Two of the roster’s most important positions were about to be up for grabs.

“To be honest, not really,” Heeringa replied when asked if he anticipated receiving most of the team’s carries this season. “I knew I was going to play, but yeah, [it’s been] definitely a lot more than I expected.”

Heeringa added that he has “definitely grown” as a runner since week one.

VanDalen said he couldn’t

wait to watch Heeringa play this year after his performance last season. “[Heeringa]’s a punishing runner who really loves contact,” VanDalen said. “If he has a choice between bouncing it to the grass and running to the endzone or trucking a kid and running to the endzone — he would choose every time to truck a kid.”

He has taken the “lions-share of the carries,” as VanDalen put it, and Heeringa has two games this season scoring a pair of touchdowns. His largest rushing total of the season was in week four against Burlington-Edison, when he tallied 148 yards on 28 attempts.

A tough runner on offense, Heeringa also displays his physicality on defense.

He starts at linebacker for Lynden as well, and currently has the second most solo tackles on the team behind senior Taivin VanDalen. Coach VanDalen advised Heeringa before the season that he will be playing the two most physical positions on the field.

“There’s only a handful of kids in Lynden history that we’ve allowed to do that because it is so physical,” VanDalen said. “We usually make them do offense or defense; running back only or linebacker only.”

Hermanutz shifted fully to quarterback upon assuming the starting role this season. He had played some defensive back last year but made the shift to reduce his chance of injury.

During the summer, Hermanutz was recovering from shoulder surgery that kept him on the sidelines for most of the team’s activities. He was always there;

he just couldn’t compete in a full capacity.

There was a quarterback competition heading into the season between Hermanutz and senior Max Moore. However, VanDalen generally likes to deploy a multi-quarterback system.

They both knew they would see the field regularly, regardless of the outcome.

“I think we were both totally fine with that,” Hermanutz added. “I like having him out there and I think he was okay with having me out there. We just tried to play off each other … It’s competition, but it makes us better and definitely didn’t break us apart.”

In the Lions’ season opener against Hockinson, Hermanutz was trying to find his footing. He rushed for a score, threw for one, but also three interceptions in the 24-21 win.

The coaching staff was right there to help him shrug it off and provide reassurance. To say he bounced back from a rocky first start passing the football would be a severe understatement.

“I just tried to flush it, really, and focus on the good things – just try to build off those,” Hermanutz said. “If you worry about the picks, it’s just going to get to you, right?”

Since week one, Hermanutz has since accumulated a 13-3 touchdown-interception ratio while rushing for four more scores. His best passing performance of the year came in week six, tossing five touchdowns and racking up 208 yards through the air.

The trust these Lions have in one another builds every week, Hermanutz said. While the whole team has had a hand in Lynden’s success, it’s special watch-

ing the junior backfield duo grow into their roles simultaneously. “[Heeringa] makes a good play, you pat him on the back and say, ‘good job’ and then vice-versa,” Hermanutz said. “We just try to make each other feel better and get ourselves better even when we’re back there.”

Both players had high praise for their coach as well. It’s apparent the culture that VanDalen cultivates within his program stretches beyond the football field.

“I feel like he’s my uncle or something, [it’s] like I’ve known him my whole life,” Heeringa said. “He’s just a really good guy. I trust him, I’ll go to him if I ever need anything.”

Hermanutz echoed that feeling. He explained the importance of VanDalen keeping a close connection with his players to help everyone grow together.

VanDalen emphasized the evolution of his team’s cohesion and connection to each other.

“We just love to go to battle together, and this

group, it’s one of our tightest groups. These kids love to spend time together,” he said. “That gives a coach great joy, right? It’s fun to coach kids like that talentwise, but it’s even better when they also are great kids.”

The Lions will close out their regular season against Sedro-Woolley (5-2 overall, 2-2 NWC) this coming Friday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m.

Hermanutz, Heeringa and the rest of the Lynden roster will look to keep a good thing going heading into the postseason.

able field position.

Eldridge broke off a 21yard run for the game’s inaugural score.

The point-after attempt was blocked, making it 6-0 Lyncs with five minutes remaining in the third.

“You can kind of just tell in practice that he [Eldridge] is learning some of the nuances of what it takes to be a running back,”

Kaemingk said. “Then what I really like is, down the stretch, he just got stronger.

There were a lot of times guys have got him three yards from the first down and he gets the first down.”

That would also be the score at the end of the period. Lyncs junior wide receiver Tyler Sipma took a fly sweep hand-off from senior quarterback Will Colwell two yards in for a score to get the fourth quarter going for LC. The

Mountaineers denied their two-point attempt, and it was 12-0.

“Offensively, things are starting to click with Will [Colwell] and all of our receiving corps,” Sipma said.

“We’re hitting a stride here where we’re going to get started rolling.”

With just under four minutes to play, Mount Baker recovered an LC fumble on the Mountaineers’ 25-yard line. There was still plenty of time for a comeback attempt.

That was until Sipma decided to do something about it.

He had a dropped interception attempt earlier in the game but made good on his next attempt.

Sipma perfectly broke on the ball to make a gamesealing pick with about a minute to play.

“I had to make up for my mistake,” Sipma said.

“I put that on me to do and it came through, so it was good to see.”

After a long return, and a couple of quick LC runs, Colwell kneeled it out.

Kaemingk gave props to Mount Baker and their head coach Ron Lepper while acknowledging his

team’s own success in an off-and-on season.

“They’re excited about it because that’s a heck of a team that [Ron Lepper]’s got,” Kaemingk said. “But we’re really proud of them.”

Lepper said his team’s field positioning throughout the night wasn’t doing them any favors, but they’re not making any excuses.

“Give them [LC] some credit, we had some chances. We had some balls in our hands that we didn’t catch, and we’ll get better at that,” Lepper said.

“Playing a game like this is

important against a good ball club like them. It’s only going to make us better. We want to take care of business next week, so we get a chance to have some fun in November.”

Mount Baker drops to 4-3 overall (2-1 NWC) following the loss, as they host Meridian (3-3 overall, 0-2 NWC) next Friday, Oct. 29 for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

The Lyncs move to 4-2 overall (2-0 NWC), taking control of the top spot in the 1A Northwest Conference. LC will host East Valley (1-4 overall) next Saturday, Oct. 30 at 1 p.m.

Public Notice LEGAL PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE WHATCOM COUNTY CHARTER On June 1, 2021, the Whatcom County Council adopted Ordinance 2021-032, submitting to the qualified voters of Whatcom County a proposal to amend Whatcom County Charter Sections 5.40 and 5.41 to align signature requirements for citizen initiatives with Washington State norms. This ordinance submits to the qualified voters of Whatcom County (at the November 2021 General Election) a charter amendment to allow that persons proposing an initiative must “ collect the signatures of the registered voters in the county equal in number to not less than eight (8) percent of the vote cast in the county in the last regular county executive election,” and the requirement for a mini -initiative be “ the signatures of qualified voters equal in number to not less than three (3) percent of the number of votes cast in the county in the last county executive election.” The changes would amend Section 5.

40 and Section 5. 41 of the County Charter.

If the proposal is approved by the voters, the Whatcom County Charter will read as follows: Section 5.40 Initiative – Procedures.

Any legal voter or organization of legal voters of Whatcom County may file an initiative proposal with

the County Auditor, who within five (5) days, excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays, shall confer with the petitioner to review the proposal as to form and style. The Auditor shall give the proposed initiative a number, which shall thereafter be the identifying number for the measure. The Auditor shall then transmit a copy of the proposal to the Prosecuting Attorney, who within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, in consultation with the petitioner shall formulate the ballot title which shall consist of: (a) a statement of the subject of the measure; (b) a concise description of the measure; and (c) a question: “Shall this be enacted into law?” The statement of the subject of the measure must be proposed as a positive statement, be sufficiently broad to reflect the subject, and be sufficiently precise to give notice of the measure’s subject matter, and not exceed ten words.

The concise description must contain no more than thirty words, be a true and impartial description of the measure’s essential contents, clearly identify the proposition to be voted on, and not, to the extent reasonably possible, create prejudice either for or against the measure. Such concise statement will be the ballot title. The petitioner then has one hundred and twenty (120) days to collect the signatures of the registered voters in the county equal in number to not less than eight (8) percent of the vote cast in the county in the last regular gubernatorial county executive election. The one hundred and twenty (120) day period shall begin upon receipt of official notification to petitioner(s) by the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office either by certified mail or messenger. If the last day for collecting signatures falls on a weekend or legal holiday, then the one hundred and twenty (120) day period shall extend to the end of the next business day.

Section 5.41 Mini-Initiative.

Any ordinance or amendment to an existing ordinance may be proposed to the County Council by registering with the Auditor initiative petitions bearing the signatures of qualified voters equal in number to not less than three (3) percent of the number of votes cast in the county in the last gubernatorial county executive election.

Upon verifying the sufficiency of the signatures, the Auditor shall transmit the initiative petition to the Council which shall hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance and enact or reject the ordinance within sixty (60) days.

Public documents are available for review weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Council Office, 311 Grand Avenue, Suite 105, Bellingham, and at co.whatcom.wa.us/council. View meeting schedules, agendas, minutes, videos, documents, and archives at whatcom.legistar.com. The Council is currently holding all meetings remotely.

Notices 425-Meetings PLAY BASE BALL THE WAY THEY DID BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR. No cleats, no gloves, no showing off. Vintage base ball practice and recruiting event, 10 a.m. until noon, Saturday, Oct. 30, 2021 at Bender Field No. 4, address 8700 Bender Road, Lynden. Base ball in 1860 was a gentleman’s game.

It was civilized, leisurely, fun. Although competitive, base ball was a game of sportsmanship. Base ball was a game of fielding.

The batter was out when a ball was caught on the fly or on one bounce, or when the batter swung and missed three times.

The pitcher delivered the ball underhand. Balls and strikes were not called.

Foul balls were not considered strikes. Also, base ball in 1860 was two words. For more information, call 928-300-0522, email bch.cameraeye@ gmail.com, or visit Facebook: Whatcom Bay Stars or PNW Vintage Base Ball Association. Come play.

OLYMPIA — With winter fast approaching, now is the time for travelers to make sure they’re prepared for driving in inclement weather.

The Washington State Department of Transportation urges all travelers to start preparing themselves and their vehicles before traveling on snow and ice. Drivers can check out WSDOT’s winter driving web page for tips and information. WSDOT also asks travelers to always “know before you go” and get the most up-to-date roadway information before heading out.

“Our crews are ready for winter and work hard to keep roads clear, but as last winter showed, any part of the state can experience severe weather and we need the public’s help as well,” said WSDOT Maintenance Operations Manager James Morin. “Most pass closures are due to spin outs or crashes from vehicles traveling too fast or not having proper winter equipment. Preparing early and staying informed about conditions and restrictions can help keep traffic moving during storms.”

To check conditions and prepare for winter weather: • Download the WSDOT mobile app.

• Follow WSDOT’s regional and pass accounts on Twitter, the agency’s Facebook site and online travel alerts.

• Sign up for email and/or text updates about road conditions – including Snoqualmie Pass delay text alerts.

• Download, print and carry the WSDOT Winter Driving Guide.

• Get your vehicle ready and plan extra time to cross all mountain passes, including heavily traveled routes such as Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass and White Pass.

• Carry chains and know current traction and chain requirements for mountain passes, which are also available on highway-advisory signs, highway-advisory radio and by calling 511.

Lynden students get AVID about college

life beyond high school,” Shaffer said.

LYNDEN — Writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading. These five components, WICOR for short, are the basis of Lynden School District’s AVID elective program.

The purpose of AVID, which stands for advancement via individual determination, is to prepare the district’s grade 6-12 students for college.

Friday, Oct. 22, several Lynden High School students told Lynden Middle School Students about the college preparatory program and why they should consider signing up for it.

Oftentimes, middle school students are “more likely to listen to their peers,” said Molly Mitchell-Mumma, Lynden Middle School principal and director of the district’s AVID program.

“This is such a cool thing.”

AVID’s mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in what has become a global society. AVID accomplishes that mission by providing resources, programs and professional development for schools.

That’s where the writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading come in.

Planning provides better choices AVID resources can be used by core subject and CTE teachers, counselors, administrators and whole schools, as well as AVID teachers.

At the middle school, nearly 50 high school students active in the AVID program spoke to seventh- and eighth-grade students.

Carson Korous, a senior, was part of a group of six AVID students who talked to Sue Brooks’ eighth grade class. Korous explained that preparation is what you do before you know you have a need.

“Even if you don’t know you’re going to college, (AVID is) the best option to get you prepared for the choice,” he said. “The earlier you get started planning, the better choices you have.”

Korous also talked to students about scholarships and how they help ease a student’s mind while in college.

“They’re going to help support you financially through your college career,” he said. “It’s basically free money.”

But AVID isn’t solely about college. It’s about building support systems while in school.

Veronica Shtatnik, a freshman at Lynden High School, told Brooks’ class that AVID is also “a lot of fun.”

“You can make a lot of friends,” Shtatnik said. “By my second day, it was like a big family. I feel so comfortable in the class.”

Life beyond high school In 2022, Cassandra Castenada will graduate from Lynden High School. A finalist for the Washington State University Regents Scholarship, Castenada has a 3.7 GPA, “has taken rigorous

courses, enrolled in AVID for four years, and is a leader in AVID, on the wrestling team, and in the classroom.

According to Lynden High School Counselor Erin Shaffer, Castenada is a “first generation college student wanting to study veterinary medicine.”

“She is a role model for many other first-generation students, multi-lingual students, and college-bound scholarship students,” Shaffer said.

“Cassandra and her father attended our Financial Aid workshop at the high school on Tues-

day,” Shaffer said. “She did not know if she had been awarded the scholarship yet but was determined to be filing for financial aid to continue her education beyond high school.”

During the workshop, Castenada learned that she was nominated to be one of 2 Lynden High School students for the scholarship.

“Cassandra put her hands over her face and just started crying tears of joy,” Shaffer said.

“She was so thankful. This scholarship will be just a piece of the puzzle to help Cassandra attain

her dream of attending university.”

WSU Regent Scholars must have a minimum 3.6 cumulative unweighted GPA to qualify. All eligible nominees who complete the application process receive a Regents Scholars award, which provides $4,000 per academic year for four years.

Those students will then compete for the Distinguished Regents Scholars Award, which covers full tuition and fees for four years, approximately $42,000.
