WHY I SUPPORT EVAN JONESIn 2018 I campaigned against James Erb to

bring change to the Whatcom County Prosecutor’s Office. We both ran as Democrats and we both spoke often of criminal justice policy changes that should be implemented locally. Erb had strong opinions on the subject.

This year, when I found Erb now campaigning to be a judge in Whatcom County Superior Court, I was unsettled. In my experience, judges should not follow a political party as I know Erb does. Judges are meant to be impartial and welcoming to all ideas.

Erb has clearly and repeatedly defined himself as a partisan politician. To someone who practices law daily in Whatcom County Superior Court and cares deeply about the integrity of the courtroom, I believe Erb is too partisan and political to be a good judge.

A judge who already has an opinion does not listen to the litigants and so the outcomes feel one-sided and predetermined. Mr. Erb’s judicial campaign has been marked by partisan support, including direct money donations from state party PACs.

None of this demonstrates the impartiality that is so important for the court.

As of 2018, Erb had only appeared in Whatcom County Superior Court a couple times and has done little since. The Cascadia Weekly noted this summer, “Erb’s resume, his actual courtroom and trial experience appears the weakest of the three

candidates—particularly given the breadth and complexity of cases that arrive in Superior Court.”

I support Evan Jones for Whatcom County Superior Court Judge. This is based on Evan’s actual ability in the legal field that I have directly witnessed.

I have known Evan for 10 years, as a fellow prosecutor, a civil lawyer, a legal educator and a judge pro tem. I know Evan to be smart, fair and compassionate. I have watched Evan argue for the rights of crime victims, listened to Evan instruct lawyers on ethics, implicit bias and impartiality, and have seen Evan demonstrate understanding for those accused of crimes.

Evan doesn’t just talk about these concepts; he actually does the things he talks about. He has demonstrated his ability to be a truly independent judge for all the people of Whatcom County.

Based on what I have directly seen, I have absolutely no doubt that Evan is the right person for the job.

I am a Democrat, and I know the importance of an impartial judiciary. I am supporting Evan Jones for judge and ask that you join me.

—Eric Richey, Whatcom County Prosecutor

THISWEEK

COVER: Illustration by Osama Hajjaj

Eddie Van Halen was more than one of the most influential guitar players of his generation and the founder of one of the most famous rock groups of all time. He was also a philanthropist who gave back in ways both large and small—including a 2017 donation of 75 guitars from his personal collection to Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, a program that provides musical instruments to students in low-income schools. “My whole life has been music,” he said at the time. “I could not imagine anything else. It’s a must. It has to be taught.” Van Halen, 65, died on Tuesday after a long battle with throat cancer.

justice. Sadly, justice was hard to find. After many attorneys rejected her case, she eventually found Evan Jones. He was a civil attorney in Whatcom County who listened to her story, filed her case against law enforcement and fought to right the wrong.

That’s justice.When assault victims are brought

to court to confront their attackers, Jones’ compassion and sensitivity as a prosecutor has brought comfort and solace. By his quiet sincerity, these survivors can safely relate their stories and have access to the courts. Evan is then able to present their assailant’s acts to the jury.

That’s justice.When people in our community who

have mental illness and substance abuse problems are arrested and charged criminally, Jones uses the tools available to keep them away from incarceration and into programs that help.

That’s justice.When students seek to understand and

challenge the criminal justice system, Jones, as their instructor, listens and furthers the discussion. Jones doesn’t tolerate the status quo, but rather seeks improvements in the systems around us.

That’s justice.Evan is an experienced lawyer, educator

and an advocate for justice. He grew up in Whatcom County, and his entire legal career is about seeking justice and making it accessible to everyone.

I hope the voters in Whatcom County will take the time to talk to the people who know Evan and who have worked with him. His long and impressive list of nonpartisan references is evidence of his honorable character. Ask Lisa Keeler, Barry Buchanan, Laura Clark, Kirsten Barron, Steve Mura, and many more judges, defense attorneys, civil attorneys and community leaders. They will tell you that Jones is all about justice.

I’m asking you to vote for Evan Jones for judge. He will serve our community with humility and honor.

KEEP MCCLURE WORKINGThe Public Utility District has been

a true friend of farmers over the past decades. They have worked effectively on water issues affecting our farmers and industries. The PUD board and staff have been the best of allies for local farms.

It is crucial that we re-elect Jeff McClure to his seat on the PUD commission. Jeff has the knowledge, experience and wisdom that is sorely needed as we work to resolve our natural resource conflicts.

The PUD is governed by a three-member board. Jeff has served well and deserves another term. This is not the time to redirect such an important partner.

—Henry Bierlink, Lynden

MCCLURE FOR PUDWhat concerns all Whatcom County

residents, no matter their political views, is maintaining affordable and equitable access to services, smart growth and a good quality of life.

As a commissioner for Whatcom County Public Utility District #1 since 2009, Jeff McClure has worked diligently to help secure these values.

Jeff joined the PUD at a time when it faced the urgent need to modernize and improve the efficiency of its prime water and power operations. Now, after investing more than $50 million to upgrade this crucial infrastructure without any tax levies whatsoever, the PUD is implementing new essential projects.

Construction will begin in 2021 to extend broadband internet service throughout Whatcom County to support emergency services, telehealth industries and schools needing reliable connectivity. Clean energy technologies are also being explored to create and sustain jobs in the context of environmental stewardship. With many Whatcom taxpayers experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19, Jeff has demonstrated a commitment to keeping taxes in check by achieving these community initiatives through public-private partnerships and grants.

By voting for McClure on Nov. 3, we can help him oversee these projects to completion.

As an architect and business owner, McClure is constantly looking into the haze of what’s to come. He knows how to take a vision and make it work within time and cost constraints while protecting public health, safety and welfare. From his 30-year experience managing multimillion-dollar design and construction projects, Jeff brings both imaginative and practical guidance to the execution of complex initiatives.

Certainly, our community faces more challenges ahead. Jeff has project management expertise, leadership experience and a proven track record for passionately serving our community. Please join me in supporting Jeff McClure for PUD #1 Commissioner.

ROLL, BABY, ROLLSKAGIT SKATE

They used their state-mandated closure wisely—to refinish their floors, remodel their space and post skating memes to their social media—and now Skagit Skate is back at it, operating at 25 percent capacity. They sold out their opening weekend, so be sure and make online reservations at www.skagit skate.com, where you can also get info about COVID-19 regulations. But don’t worry, no matter how much has changed, the fabulous starred carpeting remains intact.

DARK ARTSREGAL CINEMAS

In a move sure to have ripples across the entertainment industry—as well as for its 40,000 employees—Cineworld Group, the parent company of Regal cinemas, has decided to temporarily close all 536 of its U.S. movie theaters, effective Oct. 8. The closure is being blamed on continued delays of the blockbuster releases that sustain the country’s second-largest theater chain. Locally, this means Regal Barkley Village will remain closed until further notice, and Cineworld CEO Mooky Greidinger said the company will “continue to monitor the situation closely.”

ACCESS BELLINGHAMIn what I suspect will become an

all-too-common occurrence as the City of Bellingham cobbles together a balanced budget during a time of COVID-19 revenue constraints, Access Bellingham has announced that it has been eliminated from the 2021 budget. The program is funded through the end of 2020, and if you’d like to see it continue beyond that, there is still time to contact city council and the mayor and make your wishes known.

UPFRONT THEATREWhen last we heard

from the Upfront Theatre, the improv spot founded by funnyman Ryan Stiles, they were looking to transition to a nonprofit model to shore themselves up for what may be a turbulent future. That was in June and while no official word has come from the Upfront since, a “For Lease” sign has appeared in its window. We hope they’ll have the last laugh, so stay tuned.

READING IS FUNDAMENTALHENDERSON BOOKS

If you, like me, are doing a lot of reading these days and can’t be trusted with library books, you’ll be happy to know that Henderson Books has reopened and wants you to come read all about it 11am-6pm Tues.-Sat. If you, like me, have a lot of books to offload, you’ll want to call ahead before lugging them to their Grand Avenue shop as the process has changed somewhat.

EAT YOUR VEGGIESV GO’S 360

Because crafting plant-based dishes that make meat-eaters ask, “Are you sure this is vegan?” while cleaning up awards at this year’s Veg Fest isn’t enough for them, the owners of the Sage Against the Machine food truck are hard at work on opening a one-stop shop for all your vegan lifestyle needs in the 1200 block of Cornwall Ave. They’ve dubbed it V Go’s 360, and while no opening date is set yet, I’m hoping it will coincide with whenever I get serious about giving up my cheese-heavy pandemic eating habits.

MONDAYBellingham Mayor Seth Fleetwood releas-

es a proposed 2021-2022 biennial budget, a “responsible and responsive” budget that reduces overall spending, supports several key initiatives, and acknowledges the need to be flexible in the year ahead to adjust to changing financial circumstances. The mayor said while shutdowns and other impacts from COVID-19 have greatly reduced the city’s reve-nues, healthy financial reserves at the onset of the pandemic have allowed the city to avoid major service disruptions. [COB]

The University of Washington reports that a coronavirus outbreak in its on-campus community increased to more than 160 students since last week. As of Monday, there were 163 confirmed COVID-19 cases among 12 fraternities and sororities on cam-pus. University officials have urged students to isolate if they have tested positive or are experiencing symptoms. Students who had close contact with infected peers have been encouraged to get tested, officials said. [UW, Seattle Post-Intelligencer]

The widow of a Tulalip tribal member who died in 2015 wins a new trial over allega-tions that police officers used excessive force on Cecil Lacy Jr. when they held him down as he told them he couldn’t breathe. The Washington Court of Appeals overturns a trial judge’s 2018 decision to grant a so-called “directed verdict” against Lacy’s

widow, Sara, after a 2018 civil wrong-ful-death trial in King County Superior Court. [Seattle Times]

TUESDAY COVID-19 has infected about 7.5 mil-

lion Americans, leaving more than 210,000 dead and millions more unemployed. The United States has less than 5 percent of the globe’s population but more than 20 percent of the reported deaths. Yet the world’s highest-profile coronavirus patient continues to downplay the virus, his ridi-culing of those who wear masks to protect themselves and others, and his insistence on holding rallies and White House events in contravention of federal guidelines. President Trump was released from the hos-pital after testing positive for coronavirus. [Washington Post]

“ The president’s reckless comments re-flect exactly the same nonsense thinking behind his failed pandemic response that increased the risk of COVID, a virus that has caused 210,000 deaths in the United States already—and hundreds more each day,” Gov Jay Inlsee said in a statement. “The pres-ident’s only statement now should be an acknowledgement that COVID is dangerous; that he was wrong when discouraging the use of masks and wrong to mock the experts. He certainly should not be telling people there isn’t anything to worry about.” [Office of Governor]

09.30.20

WEDNESDAYFederal agencies have adopted the conclusions of a four-year-long envi-

ronmental study that rejected calls to tear down the four lower Snake River dams. Instead, more water will be spilled over dams each spring in the Co-lumbia River hydrosystem, which includes Snake River dams, to help juvenile fish heading downstream, as outlined in the management alternative that was ranked highest in the study. The decision to adopt the alternative was made by the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bonneville Power Administration, which were in charge of the study. [Tri-City Herald]

Environmental groups will continue their fight to remove four dams on the Snake River they say are killing salmon that are a key food source for endangered killer whales. But instead of working with federal agencies, con-servationists intend to seek the removal of the dams through the political or legal systems. Lawmakers in Washington and Oregon say they also prefer a negotiated agreement. [NPR, Save Our Wild Salmon]

10.02.20

FRIDAYWashington’s Attorney General calls on the Washington Utilities and

Transportation Commission (UTC) to, among other protections, ban utility late fees and utility service disconnections until at least April 30, 2021. These protections ensure vulnerable Washingtonians don’t lose the services they need to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic and the related eco-nomic crisis. The AG issued the proposal to the UTC in partnership with the Sierra Club, NW Energy Coalition, the Energy Project, Front and Centered, and Puget Sound Sage. The UTC is currently considering how private ener-gy utilities should be allowed to collect past-due utility bills during the COVID-19 pandemic. [AGO]

Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission staff file testimony recommending that state regulators deny Puget Sound Energy’s request to sell a portion of its Colstrip holdings, finding that the company has not demonstrated that the sales are in the best interest of the public and would likely not meet the state’s clean energy goals. PSE proposes a transfer of prop-erty for the company’s 25 percent ownership of Unit 4 of the Colstrip, Montana coal-fired power plant—half to Northwestern Energy and half to Talen Mon-tana, LLC—and a portion of their interests in the Colstrip Transmission System to Northwestern Energy. [WUTC]

Joan Beardsley (1942-2007) was a revered educator. She received a bache-lor’s in chemistry from Wellesley College and a master’s in science education from WWU. Having four children convinced her to become a teacher, and she taught in Bellingham schools for 30 years. She was the first chemistry teacher in the state to be nationally board certified, and won every major science teaching award in the state. She also won the Christa McAuliffe Award for Excellence in Education, and was a finalist for the Presidential Award in 1994. She engaged hundreds of her students in science by having them help with her experiments, such as a three-year project to sample soil runoff into Lake Whatcom. Beardsley served on the boards of the Interfaith Coalition, the Whatcom Land Trust, and American As-sociation of University Women. In 2005, she was elected to the Bellingham City Council, after serving five years on the Planning Commission. A scholarship in her name has been established for worthy science and math students at WWU.

UNQUENCHABLE THIRSTOn Sept. 2, an Anacortes man was banned from a local grocery store after stealing alcohol from the store. The 32-year-old returned on the morning of Sept. 7 and left without paying for the 22-ounce beer in his hand. Officers contacted the man nearby and found the stolen beer as well as drug paraphernalia when they searched him incident to arrest. “Because the man had been previously banned from the store, he was charged with burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia for items found during the search,” police re-ported. “He was then booked in jail on his charges.”

On Sept. 19, the same 32-year-old who had been banned from an Anacortes gro-cery store earlier returned to steal anoth-er six-pack of beer. Police contacted the man based on a description provided by the local grocer who reported that the man walked into the store, grabbed the beer, then walked out without attempting to pay for the item. He was arrested again.

On Sept. 7, Anacortes Police performed a traffic stop on a motorist who was driving erratically. An officer pulled in behind the sedan and contacted the driver, a 71-year-old La Conner man, to discuss his driving. When asked if he had been drinking, the man admitted that he had consumed a cou-ple “slurps” of hard alcohol, police repot-ed. The driver showed poor balance during roadside sobriety tests and had difficulty following some of the simple instructions provided during the testing process. The man provided a voluntary breath sample that showed a blood alcohol level in excess of the legal limit to safely drive his car. He was taken into custody for DUI, and later released to a sober adult.

On Sept. 22, Anacortes Police responded to a minor traffic collision after an SUV rear-ended a sedan at a stop light. When the investigating officer went to speak with the at-fault driver in the SUV, she was asleep at the wheel. The driver ad-mitted that she consumed three alcoholic beverages at home earlier in the day and had a very difficult time maintaining her balance when walking. “In plain view in the woman’s car was a bottle of vodka, but the driver did not say whether she had consumed any of it,” police reported. The SUV driver was transported to APD for DUI processing where she provided a breath sample of well over three times the legal amount to safely operate a motor vehicle.

On Sept. 24, a 47-year-old Anacortes woman became involved in a verbal ar-gument with her sister that escalated throughout the evening and turned physi-cal shortly before police were called. “The sister who was struck said her intoxicat-ed sister pushed her to the ground and struck her in the face multiple times with a cat toy,” police reported.

THE GRIFT THAT KEEPS GIVINGOn Sept. 11, an employee at an Anacortes convenience store told police that she re-ceived a call from someone claiming to be from corporate headquarters. “The fraudster convinced the employee to do a reboot of the store’s computer system and activate three gift cards to ‘test’ the sys-tem,” police reported. “After the call, the employee hung up and attempted to call the number back, but no one answered. After realizing that the call was likely a scam attempt, the employee called the gift card company to cancel the cards so no one could use them.”

LABOR DISPUTEOn Aug. 17, Blaine Police were called af-ter an employee of a restaurant was heard making threats to kill two of his manag-ers. A police officer investigated the in-cidents and determined the threats were not credible and no crime had occurred. Police have no reason to believe the man had access to any firearms. The man will be fired and trespassed from the business.

YABLOSOn Sept. 21, a caller contacted Belling-ham Police for assistance in discarding possible explosives.

On Sept, 15, Bellingham Police responded to a report of yet another bomb-like object in the Lettered Streets neighborhood.

On Sept. 15, a man threw a flare gun into the bushes as he was running though the Bakerview shopping complex, Bellingham Police reported.

PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODOn Sept. 14, Blaine police were called to a residence for a report of a man being very loud and banging on things. An of-ficer contacted the man and spoke with him about it. The man agreed to quiet down for the remainder of the night.

On Sept. 5, a Blaine resident wanted to report her neighbor is rude and con-stantly yells at her and her family. She told police it is an ongoing problem. An officer took notes and instructed her to continue recording the interactions and explained the department’s anti-harass-ment order process.
