First Fed opens Ferndale branch First Fed and foundation donated over $200,000 to Whatcom nonprofits in 2020

By Brent Lindquist brent@lyndentribune.com

FERNDALE — Kimberly Tucker has been in banking for decades, and she has seen families through multiple generations as customers.

Tucker, the branch manager of the new First Fed

location in Ferndale, said she has helped parents open accounts for their young children and, later on, helped those parents with a first car loan for their kids. Then, those kids might be starting a family of their own, and the circle begins again, she said.

Tucker said her favorite part of working at First Fed

“You can spend more time with your clients and interact with them, and that really resonates for me,” she said.

Property taxes: Who pays what?

Property taxes vary around Whatcom County; assessor website identifies each property owner’s responsibility

By Brent Lindquist brent@lyndentribune.com

WHATCOM — A wide variety of factors affect property taxes around Whatcom County, and it’s easier than ever to see who’s paying what.

The Whatcom County Assessor’s Office provides a handy online tool called the Whatcom County Tax Parcel Viewer.

This tool allows users to zoom in on any parcel of land in Whatcom County and view a wide variety of data points, including associated ID numbers, total value, applicable exemptions and even the owner’s name and mailing address.

“It’s crazy how many separate little taxing districts we have,” Whatcom County Assessor Rebecca Xczar said.

A quick look at a randomly selected property on Ferndale Terrace, for example, reveals that a home there without any tax exemptions pays a total property tax rate of about .974% of their home’s assessed taxable value per year.

What that means is that a $500,000 home would set the homeowner back about $4,870 per year in property taxes.

The selected home

has 22 separate levies on which its owners pay taxes, including ones related to the local cemetery district, conservation futures, the local food control zone, a rural library levy, the Ferndale High School’s bond, county EMS and more.

Lynden’s tax rate clocks in at about 1.012%, while Everson’s is about 1.251%. Roaming around the map, however, reveals some of the differences between houses that feel geographically close to one another.

A home on Evergreen Way in Everson, for example, has the aforementioned 1.251% tax

rate, while a home on Birchwood Drive in the same city has a tax rate of 1.244%. That’s because the Birchwood Drive home is outside of Cemetery District 9 while the Evergreen Way sits within its borders, altering the tax rate, even if only slightly.

Looking just east into Nooksack reveals how drastically certain exemptions can affect tax rates.

A homeowner on Whispering Meadows Court pays 1.235% in property taxes while another Nooksack homeowner on First Street pays a comparative .604%.

The latter is subject to

certain exemptions, Xczar said, including a possible senior exemption.

“There are three different levels of senior exemptions based on income,” she said. “Depending on which one they qualify for, it does different things.”

Looking back at the Ferndale Terrace property, the largest amount out of the $2,471.08 in total property taxes goes toward the state school levy ($504.53), followed by the enrichment levy of the Ferndale School District at $364.44.

Ferndale’s relatively low levy rate compared to Lynden can be attributed to the Ferndale School District’s lower levy rate, Xczar said.

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the Ferndale School District’s levy was voted down for the first time in decades.

Voters would eventually approve the levy later in 2020, but at a lower rate, hence the lower total tax rate in Ferndale.

Heading into Bellingham, a homeowner on

Humboldt Drive near Civic Stadium pays about .984% in property taxes.

Xczar also mentioned a few voter-approved items on the list of Bellingham levies.

“Anything above the 1% mark has to be voted on,” she said.

Whatcom Community Food Assessment ready for public review What is the state of Whatcom County’s food ecosystem? The Whatcom County Food System Committee has the answer as they have published the 2021 Community Food Assessment (CFA) for public review.

This snapshot of how food is produced, transported and consumed throughout Whatcom County is an update to the 2017 Community Food Assessment, originally produced by the Whatcom Food Network.

The 2021 CFA is based on over 50 inter-

views with local farmers, farmworkers, community health professionals, natural resource experts and more.

“We can’t just look at challenges with export farming or food access in isolation,” said Riley Sweeney, chair of the Food System Committee.

“We need to see it as a vital system, interconnected from seed to table. This assessment is an attempt to capture that bigger picture.” The assessment will inform a County-wide food system plan, which will outline policies and

actions for a more sustainable, equitable food system.

A draft of the 2021 Community Food Assessment is available for public review at www.whatcomcounty.us.

Comments may be submitted by Sept. 30 via Google Form: https://tinyurl.com/reviewCFA or by mail to: Whatcom County Health Department, Attention: Ali Jensen, 1500 State St., Suite 201, Bellingham, WA 98225. For inquiries, call Ali Jensen at 360-7786121.

ON FOOT ... AT MOUNT BAKER

Find Your Happy Place What you need to know about hiking Mount Baker The Mount Baker Wilderness is 117,900 acres, created as part of the Washington State Wilderness Act of 1984. Mount Baker is an active glacier-covered volcano in the Cascades.

While the mountain has a number of trails, some are geared for more advanced hikers and others can be done easily for those with limited walking/hiking abilities.

Scenery Presently a number of wildflowers are in bloom. Soon more fall foliage, especially the wild blueberry bushes, will appear with oranges and reds. The trail to Bagley Lake goes down steps and trails to follow stream with small waterfalls.

Altitude Mount Baker is 10,778 feet. The base elevation is 3,500 feet and the peak of the resort is 5,089 feet. Mount Baker is about 10 miles south of the 49th parallel, which is also known as the international border with Canada.

Ease The Mount Baker Recreational Area has a lot of day hikes. The easiest one is Picture Lake, a paved path, with flowers and ‘wow’ views of Mount Shuksan. The Bagley Lake trail involves climbing a steep path initially down but is much easier as it is almost flat on one side of the creek. It can be done within an hour. Atop Artist Point, it is steep to Table Mountain and is hard for those scared of heights and very narrow on a cliff. Some of these trails that are immediately in Heather Meadows are wide and you can take a wheelchair by picture lake. Be prepared for weather changes, so layering your clothes is a good idea. Also, have good sturdy shoes.

By Elisa Claassen for the Tribune

MOUNT BAKER – I pity the people who live in the flat lands. Miles of wheat might be nice in the central United States, but mountains are simply divine, as are beaches, islands, lakes and the scenery of the Pacific Northwest.

My happy place growing up changed as we moved: the simple tree house dad made 5-year-old me in Grants Pass, Oregon; the thick woods outside of Sunriver Resort where my dad worked and climbing under things in search of obsidian arrow heads; the rock formation by the hillside house in Bend, Oregon when I was 9; the edge of the Nooksack River when we moved to Whatcom County; running on the trail around Lake Padden in college; the rooms

used to create artwork at Roeder Home in my 20s and 30s; and various friends’ homes were extra places to chat and hang out.

Then I discovered the beauty of the mountains. I had given a try at downhill skiing in high school and was a bit taken aback by friends’ stories of the many people who had fallen off of the chairlifts and decided to live on the bunny hill for a bit longer until I was brave enough to jump aboard the lift.

Many in the Northwest favor snowboarding and skiing, but I really love going to Mount Baker region in the summer.

Originally that was the time the early promoters of a now far-gone lodge focused on attracting their early guests: summer. They could See Baker on A6

COVID safety protocols and social distancing will be observed

Food and restrooms The wilderness has several vault restrooms near trailheads, but the ski lodge is now open summer as well as winters. The lodge has restrooms, a large display of historic mountain photos, and the Heather Meadows Cafe which offers ice cream, sandwiches, soups, and snacks to eat onsite or to take out for picnics.

Directions and conditions The narrow two-way State Route 542 Mount Baker Highway starts in Bellingham at Interstate 5 and literally ends at milepost 57.26 atop the recreation area looking down on the ski area. The closest town, 23 miles away is Glacier, which has a visitor center. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) website, wsdot.wa.gov, maintains current conditions.

The last portion of the roadway is open for summer hiking usually for several months and closes after the first substantial snowfall usually in late September or early October.

Pass Required A visit to many of the trailheads within the Wilderness and close to Mount Baker require a Northwest Forest pass for summer day use but not in winter.

A $5 day ePass can be purchased with a credit card from a machine outside the Public Service Center for the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest outside of Glacier.

Annual passes are also available online at https://www. fs.usda.gov/main/mbs/passes-permits/recreation.

Did you know?

The ski area is home to the world’s greatest recorded snowfall in one season, 1,140 inches during the 1998-1999 ski season.

Mount Baker Ski Area has been featured in many ski and snowboard films. “The Call of the Wild,” was filmed there in 1934-35 and premiered at the Mount Baker Theatre.

putt-putt golf, canoe, and hike.

Although pictures remain, a newer, more utilitarian lodge is there now, and an outbuilding that survived the fire that took the beautiful lodge so long ago.

Braver folk, including both my mom’s Aunt Jenny many decades ago and TV actress Mandy Moore have summitted the mountain.

Aunt Jenny did so in a dress.

Mandy Moore, a newer

mother, did so pumping breast milk along the way.

A confession: I’m not especially fond of the narrow two-lane roadway winding its way to the ski area. While providing unobstructed views, it is a long way down. A really long way.

The license plates on cars are from more than one state. While pulling up the hillside, a reflective pond provides the perfect mirror for the stunning Mount Shuksan. It is now

supposedly one of the most photographed mountains in the world.

Visitors step out in Sunday church attire and heels to simple take photos and get back in and go back to civilization. Others have the rain gear and stamina and are set to transverse much further or higher into the outdoors.

I like to pretend the historic Heather Meadows Visitor Center, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1940 as a ski warming hut resembles a cottage house, was a real house to live in. It is perched atop the mountain with unrivalled views.

Steps down the hill, past heather and blueberries, is a simple arched stone bridge crossing the stream.

One side of the trail by Bagley Lake is close to the stream, and hence close to the sound of the stream and the blooming yellow and pink and purple wildflowers.

Pictures in the English countryside look a bit the same.

Above the ski area, the Mount Baker Highway, continues on tight turns to Artist Point.

Those who are willing to slowly climb the cliff to Table Mountain often make little rock towers to assert their bravery.

It is Sir Edmund Hillary who once said, “It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”

The number of unfilled jobs soared to nearly 15 million by mid-March. April data from online job site ZipRecruiter found discouraged, hesitant and fearful job seekers translates into many positions remaining vacant. Vaccinations go a long way to alleviating fear.

In May, the Labor Department jobs number were disappointing. The total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 266,000 in April which was far below the 1 million expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.

With millions of employers looking for workers, the emphasis is shifting to encourage people to seek work.

Employers nationwide say the enhanced federal unemployment benefits will only add to workers’ reticence to fill the millions of open positions.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce believes paying people not to work is dampening what should be a stronger jobs market.

As a remedy, some states, such as Montana, are rejecting the added $300 payment to unemployment checks.

Gov. Greg Gianforte told the Associated Press extra federal unemployment benefits are doing more harm than good.

“Extra payments have served as an incentive for people to stay home, collect the money and not seek work,” he said.

Instead, Montana instituted an incentive program where workers currently receiving unemployment payments can qualify for a one-time $1,200 bonus after they have completed four weeks in their new jobs. Montana also is among several states reinstating the work-search requirement.

Finally, lawmakers must find ways to generate revenue without further damaging our economy. In 2020, the federal government took in $3.42 trillion, but spent $6.5 trillion.

Our national debt has soared by $28.5 trillion, according to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

Vaccinations are key to putting people safely back to work.

Working people sustain our economy and those workers and businesses pay the taxes needed to fund our government.

First Fed

Troy Wills speaks and Kimberly Jackson looks on at the grand-opening of First Fed in Ferndale Aug. 25. (Bill Helm/Ferndale Record)

Continued from A2

First Fed hope that walking into their branches, including the new Ferndale one, feels like walking into your living room.

“It’s the extension of your home, a living room feel,” Wills said. “Everybody greets you as you walk in. We’ve got a nice sitting area right here. It’s really that boutique banking concept that we’ve coined. We choose the locations we’re in because

our values match the community’s values, and I really feel that people bank their values. They will choose First Fed as they experience us when they walk in.”

First Fed opened its first Whatcom County branch back in 2015, and Wills was the first employee hired for the Whatcom market. He and Tucker are both from Ferndale, and both thought it would be the perfect spot for a new branch of First Fed.

“This town, this community aligns with our core values,” Wills said. “We feel that it’s a perfect blend for us.”

Tucker said First Fed is a proactive company, compensating its employees for up to 24 hours of volunteer time and giving back to the community in a variety of ways. In 2020, First Fed and the First Federal Community Foundation gave back more than $200,000 in Whatcom County, with total dona-

tions and sponsorships topping more than $1 million across the 15 Washington locations.

Wills and Tucker both said their favorite part of working at First Fed is being a resource for financial needs and helping real people navigate the financial aspects of their lives.

LETTERS

Facts also matter Editor, The Sept. 1 Lynden Tribune published several letters to the editor pointing out the need for the Tribune to print letters, articles or opinions without deciphering the truth.

Opinions matter, but getting the facts right is actually important.

The same paper included an article claiming Ferndale’s property tax is 9.74%. I just about had a heart attack when I read that tax rate. If that tax rate was true, the annual tax would be $48,700.

The article did quote the correct tax amount of $4,870.

Seems to me this would be an appropriate time to have checked the facts.

On another note, the newspaper industry would do well to present facts and opinions from all perspectives, not just those a journalist agrees with. We would all be better informed readers and less cynical of the things we read.

Brian Smith Lynden

We are all loved Editor, My concerns are based upon the current empirical data regarding COVID 19 (what we can see now that is verifiable as truth).

Over the last eight weeks, case numbers have soared.

There are high numbers of very sick unvaccinated people in hospitals and emergency rooms.

Some of the vaccinated have been contracting COVID and are able to spread it.

A more highly contagious variant spread through respiratory droplets is playing a major part in the case increases; and that all of this is (again) interfering with our ability to stay safe, healthy, and able to live our lives without an elevated amount of pandemic-related risk.

I have observed and have been told about the suffering experienced by family, friends and acquaintances. So I am hoping and praying for everyone to do what they can to get us beyond this pandemic.

My concerns are not only for myself and those I am protecting, they are for the vulnerable, made so either by their age, health circumstances or by their unvaccinated status.

I wish for them to be safe, and I am worried about them.

Mandates, both existing and those that could evolve, will impact everyone, but particularly the unvaccinated. That is just the reality. Our lives don’t need to become harder.

Stay safe and well, everyone. We are all loved.

A Golden Month in the Garden Photographers call it the golden hour, that magical first hour after sunrise and last hour before sunset when the lighting is just perfect for photography. For David Vos, September is one of the golden months. (Photo Courtesy David Vos)

By David Vos for the Tribune

LYNDEN — Photographers call it the golden hour, that magical first hour after sunrise and last hour before sunset when the lighting is just perfect for photography.

If I might, I think we gardeners could borrow the idea for our hobby, for certainly September is one of the golden months.

With warm days, cool nights, abundant sunshine but occasional showers — this time of year is just about perfect in my book.

As we begin offers ideal to settle into conditions autumn, for plants here are a to get wellfew gardenestablished quickly: ing tips for warm soil a golden temperamonth.

some holes to fill, visit a local garden center and pick out the perfect plants to rejuvenate your garden.

For whatever you’re planting, I recommend amending your soil with compost to add fresh nutrients and improve the drainage of clay soil or add organic matter to sandy ground.

A fresh layer of compost spread around the base of your plants after planting will also help to hold moisture in your soil and provide some insulation for winter’s chill while enriching your soil.

And when you plant, be sure to use a plant starter like Bonide Root & Grow or Espoma Bio-Tone to encourage fast root development and help your plants get established quickly.

Second, September is also a great time to start switching out your sum-

mer flowers with fall and winter color. Even if you managed to keep your plants looking great through the late June heatwave, the more recent heat in mid-August may have been more than your flowers could handle.

If so, or if you’re just ready for a change, winter pansies are still one of my favorites for long-lasting color, blooming into winter and then again throughout next spring — honest.

Combined with the textures of ornamental grasses, heuchera, dusty miller and some mums for fall color, fresh pots for a new season are easy to put together in no time.

Water lightly at least twice — even three or four times — a day until the grass sprouts to ensure fast germination and even growth, then reduce your watering to once a day until cool, rainy weather takes over.

Whatever grass seed you choose, select a mix high in fescue and avoid cheap mixes that contain lower-quality grass types that may not be durable in our climate.

Finally, if you have an established lawn in which you’ve battled poa annua (commonly referred to as annual bluegrass), September is a great time to apply Crabgrass Plus to prevent poa from sprouting in the fall and winter months.

Because poa loves cool weather and regular rains, it tends to sprout in autumn and can get established over the winter months, evading spring treatment, so apply a preemergent like Crabgrass Plus now to get a head start on battling this nuisance grassy weed in your lawn.

Like every photographer knows, the golden hour is fleeting, and much like the fading rays of sun around sunset, early autumn’s pleasant weather won’t last forever.

Take advantage of this golden month while it’s here and enjoy some time refreshing your yard and garden for a new season.

Grow lettuce in September Tips on transitioning from summer to fall growing

By Bill Helm bill@lyndentribune.com

Leafy vegetables such as lettuce, pictured, will do well planted into September, according to David Vos of Vander Giessen Nursery of Lynden. (Lynden Tribune file photo)

LYNDEN — The transition from summer to autumn is clear in oh, so many ways.

Baseball moves from the regular season toward the World Series. Children return to school. Days start getting shorter, and leaves shift from green to red, orange, and yellow.

David Vos, manager of Vander Giessen Nursery Inc. of Lynden, points to a variety of vegetables that grow in fall.

“Mostly leafy vegetables like lettuces and spinach, but also cole crops (cruciferous vegetables) which include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage,” said Vos. “Our biggest challenge here in the PNW is by this time of year our daylength gets rapidly shorter, so the plants that will grow best this time of year are ones tolerant of partial shade or short days.”

Truth is, by early September, growers are near the end of their season for planting fall

crops. However, lettuces will do well planted into September.

“Some varieties are very cold-hardy, and I’ve grown lettuce planted in September well into winter,” Vos said. “Last year, I picked fresh lettuce from my unprotected garden as late as Jan. 21 before we had a hard enough freeze to kill it.”

Vos explained that dedicated gardeners “who like to grow outdoors into fall or winter” will use row covers or high tunnels to protect their crops from freezing.

“This process allows them to grow in their gardens nearly year-round” he said.

Once you’ve decided what to grow in the fall, it’s important to switch out your compost or organic fertilizer before planting.

“Those crops that were grown for a spring or summer harvest and you’ve pulled out by now most likely depleted the soil,” Vos said.

“So just like you add fresh compost in the spring prior to planting, you’ll want to do the same for fall crops.”

Don’t forget that insects can still be a problem, especially if you’re planting in a garden space you’ve had insects in this summer. “Insects will be active until a frost knocks them back for the winter,” Vos said.

“So gardeners will want to be vigilant to treat their plants as necessary to keep them pest-free.”

MIELKE MARKET

Benchmark milk price down 75 cents

By Lee Mielke for the Lynden Tribune

The Agriculture Department announced the August Federal order Class III benchmark milk price at $15.95 per hundredweight (cwt.), down 54 cents from July, $3.82 below August 2020, and the lowest Class III since February.

The August Class IV price is $15.92 per cwt., down 8 cents from July but $3.39 above a year ago, and the lowest since April.

A continued falling All Milk price and higher corn and hay prices in July were not offset by the drop in the soybean price and resulted in the U.S. milk feed ratio falling again, a descent that started in December, paused in April, but has resumed ever since.

The USDA’s latest Ag Prices report has the July ratio at 1.55, down from 1.60 in June, and compares to 2.72 in July 2020.

The index is based on the current milk price in relationship to feed prices for a ration consisting of 51% corn, 8% soybeans and 41% alfalfa hay.

In other words, one pound of milk would only purchase 1.55 pounds of dairy feed of that blend.

The U.S. All Milk price averaged $17.90 per cwt., down 50 cents from June and $2.70 below the July 2020 average.

The national average corn price hit $6.12 per bushel, up 12 cents per bushel from June, and a whopping $2.91 per bushel above July 2020.

Soybeans averaged $14.10 per bushel, down 40 cents from June after falling 30 cents the previous month but were still $5.60 per bushel above July 2020.

No Basement?

No Problem!

Tips for Creating an Above Ground Root Cellar

Root cellars are one of the oldest methods for food preservation, perfect for produce like carrots, potatoes, apples, cabbage and much more. Recreating the conditions of a root cellar without a basement are possible in our colder climate (warmer or drier climates won’t have as much luck, since root cellars need to be cool and damp consistently). Direct sunlight should be avoided and there should be good air circulation to keep excess ethylene gas from prematurely aging produce. Dirt and gravel floors help moderate humidity levels, which need to be fairly high to prevent wilting/withering. Some potential areas that could be used with the right modifications include garages, outbuildings, decks, porches and even places inside the home such as attics & closets.

Golden Eagles soar over Bearcats in week one Schlichting accounts for four touchdowns in Ferndale win

By Hailey Palmer hailey@lyndentribune.com

BLAINE — For a firstyear starting quarterback, a solid run game is an important piece in any offense.

Ferndale senior Mark Schlichting has that in the form of three different teammates.

In his first varsity start at quarterback, Schlichting and the Golden Eagles looked to their run game early and often in a 55-35 win over Monroe.

The Bearcats got on the board first with a field goal in the first quarter, but Ferndale answered with a 9-yard touchdown run from junior Isaiah Carlson and wouldn’t trail again in the game.

The Golden Eagles’ rushing attack gashed the Bearcats’ defense all game, opening up some chances for Schlichting to sling it through the air.

Later in the first quarter, Schlichting connected with senior Thomas Broselle for a 69-yard catch and run for his first passing touchdown of the game.

“(Schlichting) took the big plays when the defense gave us opportunities in the passing game. He made some plays off script throwing the ball,” Ferndale coach Jamie Plenkovich said. “He stayed calm, cool and collected. When we can take shots like that off play action and he can make plays like that it makes us really tough to defend.”

Schlichting said he wasn’t even really thinking about it being his first start until someone asked him about it in the locker room before the game.

“For me, after the first snap everything was good,” Schlichting said. “I got all of the butterflies out of my system.”

The Golden Eagles added additional scores in the first half on a 5-yard touchdown run from senior Ryan Pelton, a one-yard run by Schlichting and a 27-yard strike from Schlichting to Pelton right before halftime.

Ferndale came out of the break right where it left off. Carlson added to his touchdown total on the night with a 1-yard dash into the endzone, extending the Golden Eagles’ lead to 41-16 early in the third quarter.

Monroe answered by returning the following kickoff, but for all of the areas Ferndale struggled during the game, one thing remained constant. The punishing run game.

Ferndale junior running back Isaiah Carlson stiff arms a tackler. Carlson scored two touchdowns in the Golden Eagles’ win. (Hailey Palmer/Lynden Tribune) It was Pelton’s turn to score next, tumbling across the goal line from 17 yards out.

“We’re at our best if we don’t have to focus on getting the ball to one person,” Plenkovich said. “We’ve got multiple guys that can make big plays when they’ve got the ball in their hands.”

Schlichting said having the pieces he does behind him in the back field allows him to do what he wants in the passing game.

“It makes my job so easy,” Schlichting said. “It really spreads the defense apart too.”

Schlichting finished with three touchdowns

through the air and one on the ground. Pelton scored twice on the ground and hauled in one touchdown pass while Carlson added two touchdowns. Broselle and sophomore Conner Walcker had one touchdown apiece.

Ferndale’s next game is its annual rivalry game with

Lynden Friday, Sept. 10.

Between now and Friday, Plenkovich said the team has plenty to work on.

“Our guys are going to come back to work next week and they know we’ve got a lot of things to clean up, but we did a lot of things well at the same time,” he said.

Lynden outlasts Hockinson in season opener with late field goal Stanley scores two touchdowns in Lions’ win

By Hailey Palmer hailey@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN — There will be no easing into the fall 2021 season for the Lynden Lions.

There simply isn’t time to.

With only two teams from the league making the playoffs, the No. 2 Lions jumped right into their season Friday night with a matchup against No. 5 Hockinson.

A 34-yard field goal off the foot of junior Troy Petz late in the fourth quarter was the difference in a 24-21 Lions win over the Hawks.

Lynden head coach Blake VanDalen said playing Hockinson is like playing themselves.

“They’re a mirror image of us, I think,” he said.

“They hit hard, they line up right and they don’t make mistakes.”

The Lions used a two-quarterback platoon of junior Kaedan Hermanutz and senior Max Moore throughout the game, both getting their first varsity snaps at the position.

Hermanutz opened the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to put the Lions up 7-0.

Hockinson found an answer before the end of the quarter when Jarod Oldham connected with Andre Northrup for an 8-yard strike to tie the game.

The Hawks gained

Lynden’s Campbell Nolte hauls in a pass. (Hailey Palmer/Lynden Tribune)

even more momentum in the second quarter, thanks to some untimely penalties on the Lions ending their own drives and extending Hockinson’s.

Hockinson added another score on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Oldham to Kenyon Johnson.

After a Hermanutz interception later in the second quarter, it looked like the Hawks were on their way to being well in control of the game, but the Lynden defense stepped up and got the ball back for its offense.

It was Moore this time calling the signals for the Lions late in the first half and he hit junior Isaiah Stanley for an 8-yard score to tie the game at 14-14 right before halftime.

VanDalen said rotating Hermanutz and Moore at quarterback benefited the Lions, especially in terms of conditioning.

“There were times where we needed Kaedan (Hermanutz) and his fresh legs and times we needed Max (Moore) and his strong legs,” VanDalen said. “There’s a reason we do that and this is one of the reasons. Our team, they don’t even care who’s calling the signals. The next guy steps in and it was awesome to have two of them.”

Both defenses came out of the locker room for the second half looking to make a statement.

Hockinson forced a turnover on downs in Lynden territory on the opening drive of the half, but an interception from senior Taivin VanDalen gave it right back to the Lions.

Lynden kicker/punter Troy Petz punts the ball. Petz kicked the gamewinning field goal Friday night against Hockinson. (Hailey Palmer/Lynden Tribune) The Lions were driving down the field, but a ball from Hermanutz ended up in the hands of Hockinson’s Johnson.

Lynden got the ball back and found the endzone in the fourth quarter on another touchdown grab from Stanley from 15 yards out to give the Lions a 21-14 lead.

“We had to roll with the punches,” Stanley said. “We played for each other and that’s what got us through this.”

Hockinson tied the game at 21 on an Austin Wilson pick-six off Hermanutz. The Lions kicked the go-ahead field goal the following drive and bled four minutes off the clock.

A 37-yard run from Moore on 3rd-and-12 late in the quarter put the game away and Lynden had passed its first test of the season.

“We made a lot of mistakes. We need to get better,” VanDalen said. “When you can somehow find a way to

win a game in the midst of all that, it’s fun. Some of our heroes also struggled. It was a lot of up and down.”

There’s no letting off the gas for the Lions next week as they’ll host Ferndale at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept.

10.

Lynden will play Squalicum the week after and with limited playoff spots available this year, it’s go time.

“We don’t have time to hide or play games,” VanDalen said.

Lumber and Plywood market prices have come down.

If you’ve been waiting to buy, this is a great time to do your projects!

Nooksack Valley defense locks down win over 2A Sehome Pioneers’ defense forces multiple timely turnovers in win

EVERSON — For the first time since 2019, football is back in the fall.

Nooksack Valley and Sehome got the fall 2021 season started in Whatcom County Thursday night and the Pioneers came out with a 9-7 win.

Defense was the story for both teams throughout the game, but the Pioneers’ defense stepped up when the lights were at their brightest.

Nooksack Valley freshman Cory Olney intercepted a pass in the end zone in the second quarter and that was only the first key stop the Pioneers would get on their own side of the field in the game.

“We’ve been practicing hard and putting our work in,” Triplett said. “I know all of us believed we could do it. We just had to put our minds to it and there you go, a small, young team did it.”

All that was left was for the Pioneers to make another stop or two on defense and then run out the clock.

They got the first part of that down, but the Mariners defense kept Sehome in the game, giving the ball back to its offense late in the game.

Sehome made things interesting late in the fourth quarter with an 8-yard touchdown catch from Luke Evans to bring the score to 9-7.

The Mariners had the ball in the final minute with no timeouts. As it had all game, Nooksack Valley showed up on defense.

A throw down the sideline wound up in the hands of sophomore Wayne Silves for an interception and a kneel down from Brown on the next play gave the Pioneers a season-opening win.

“We came in and didn’t know what to expect. It’s a different vibe out here right now,” Bartl said. “The kids get along, they’re working hard. I think we expected to make plays.”

Notices 425-Meetings DO YOU LOVE BASEBALL AND HISTORY? Ever heard of vintage baseball? More than 200 teams across the country play baseball the way they did before 1900. Most of those teams even play ball the way they did before the Civil War. I used to live in Camp Verde, Arizona, but now I live in Bellingham, Washington. In Arizona, I played in an eight-team league that played ball by rules from 1860. I’d like to bring the vintage baseball movement to the PNW. I’d like to start a few teams

to play ball against each other. Vintage baseball is about camaraderie, friendship, exercise, love of baseball and appreciation of history. Anyone and everyone is welcome to play. Although we play to win, sportsmanship is king. Maybe you don’t want to play or cannot play ball any more, but you like the game and would like to keep score, or maybe be an umpire? Well, we’d love to have you come out. We also need places to play ball. Baseball in its infancy was played on open fields. Maybe you can’t play any longer but you have an open field that you’d let us play ball on. Interested in learning more or participating in some way? Please message me if you live anywhere in Whatcom County, or anywhere in Washington, and you’re interested in getting involved. Please email me at bch.cameraeye@gmail.com or call 928-300-0522.

SUDOKU

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT FOR THE STATE OF WASHINGTON IN AND FOR WHATCOM COUNTY Janet Myers, Plaintiff vs.

ALL OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES UNKNOWN CLAIMING ANY RIGHT, TITLE, ESTATE, LIEN, OR INTEREST IN THE REAL ESTATE DESCRIBED IN THE COMPLAINT, Defendants.

No. 21-2-00739-37 SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION Judge: David E. Freeman THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TO DEFENDANTS: You are hereby summoned to appear within sixty (60) days after the date of the first publication of this Summons, to wit, within sixty (60) days after the 4th day of August, 2021, and defend the above-entitled action in the above-entitled court, and answer the complaint of the Plaintiff Janet Myers, and serve a copy of your answer upon the undersigned attorneys for Plaintiff, Wolf & Lee, LLP, at their office below stated; and in case of your failure to do so, judgment will be rendered against you according to the demand of the complaint, which has been filed with the clerk of said court.

This matter involves a claim by Plaintiff that property conveyed to her by her mother by way of a Revocable Transfer on Death Deed (“Deed”), recorded under Whatcom County Auditor’s File No. 2017-1200408, contained an incorrect legal description for the property as a result of a scrivener’s error. Plaintiff seeks a reformation of the Deed to reference the correct legal description for the property and to thereby quiet title to the property in her name exclusively. Plaintiff maintains that the correct legal description is that contained in the July 20, 1984, Quit Claim Deed from Lonnie Collins to Roy and Elsie Burgy, recorded under Whatcom County Auditor’s File No. 1485498.

In the alternative, and to the extent the Deed did not convey the property to Plaintiff, her mother had all right, title, and interest in the property at the time of death, and Plaintiff was entitled under her mother’s will to all residue of her estate. Plaintiff thereby alternatively seeks an order and judgment quieting title to the property in her name exclusively.

DATED this 26th day of July, 2021.
