DEFUND POLICEOur predominantly white population consid-
ers Bellingham progressive, but this assumption needs to be tested by taking a serious look at defunding our police department.
There is no logical reason for someone with a badge, a gun, a baton and a Taser to be the first responder for problems of homelessness, mental illness and drug or alcohol addiction. These situ-ations should be handled by mental health pro-fessionals and social service providers.
Like communities across the country, we have militarized our response to poverty-related prob-lems. After all, our police do not prevent crime, they only respond to it. Our tax dollars should be directed to addressing the root causes of problems that we now ask our police to handle. And, stud-ies have shown it’s cost-effective to divert these “criminals” from the so-called justice system.
Our police department receives one-third of the City’s general fund and social service provid-ers get zero. The police budget has grown by 26 percent since 2015 while the total city budget has grown by only 17 percent. We are moving in the wrong direction. While the police budget is more than $34 million, social services get less than $400,000 from the City—and this is all pass-through money from the federal government.
It’s time to reverse these priorities.—Duane Jager, Bellingham
RECONFIRM WELL-QUALIFIED JUDGES
Our primary ballots will arrive soon, and every race is really important.
Some voters may not be familiar with the ju-dicial candidates. Three of them were appoint-ed by Governor Inslee to fill vacant positions in 2020—Raquel Montoya-Lewis and G. Helen Whitener for the Washington Supreme Court, and David Freeman for the Whatcom County Superior Court. All three must now stand for retention in the upcoming elections, and all three should be retained.
Judicial appointments by the governor are made after a thorough vetting process that in-cludes evaluations by state, county and minor-ity bar associations, sitting judges, and com-munity leaders. The governor’s general counsel reviews every application and conducts an ini-tial round of interviews. Finalists are personally interviewed by the governor. As the governor’s website states, “the selection of experienced, independent and well-qualified lawyers to join the bench is vital to maintaining not only an ef-ficient judicial system, but also a healthy de-mocracy and vital economy.”
We voters can have confidence that these three judges have been evaluated for their education and training, work history, standing within the legal profession and commitment to

COVER: Illustration by Dario Castillejos
Comedy was in Carl Reiner’s DNA. The producer, director, writer, actor and World War II veteran may be best known for the Emmy Award-winning series The Dick Van Dyke Show— about a writer working for a larger-than-life comedian that was partially based on Reiner’s life—but he also made his mark in Hollywood, on Broadway, and far beyond. Reiner, 98, died Monday night in Beverly Hills.
WEB-ONLY PDFDEAR READERS—In a moment of constricted arts and entertainment coverage, and as a means to reduce costs and health risks to our production and distribution staff, Cascadia Weekly will pro-duce a print version every other week at least through Phase 2 of the governor’s Safe Start program. We will continue to produce new articles each week and will post those online at http://www.cascadiaweekly.com.We’ll continue to produce a small PDF such
as this in alternate weeks to provide the special features many of our readers request. Look for our next print issue on the streets Weds., July 7.For those who wish to support Cascadia
Weekly, see the information at http://www.cascadiaweekly.com/support. Thank you for your generosity at a difficult moment for the publishing industry.

the fair and impartial administration of justice in Washington.
Retaining them in their current judi-cial positions serves the best interests of our community and our state.
—Judy Bush, Lummi Island
PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF WASHINGTON ELECTIONS
You may never have heard of Gael Tarleton, but she’s one of the best can-didates on the ballot you’ll be receiving soon. Currently a state Representative who served as House Majority Floor Lead-er, Tarleton is running to become Wash-ington Secretary of State—the person who safeguards our elections.
Tarleton is an ardent promoter of vote by mail. Note that the Republican incumbent has to date failed to defend the state’s successful vote-by-mail system against the president’s attacks, even at a time when it would be the safest option.
Tarleton is also passionate about election security and has extensive ex-perience in the private, academic and government sectors. She knows our voting systems are under threat and she knows the measures to take. And she is committed to actively expand-ing voter education and participation as the pillars of democracy they are.
Her endorsements—too many to list—include our own 40th and 42nd Legisla-tive District Democrats and Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Washington Con-servation Voters named her “Legislator of the Year” in 2018. The Washington State Labor Council, National Women’s Political Caucus of Washington, and many more support Tarleton. Check out her website at voteforgael.org.
If you want an experienced, ener-getic, articulate defender of our elec-tions and our democracy, and a strong believer in the importance of voter par-ticipation, Tarleton is your candidate—for the primary and general elections. She is certainly mine.
—Myra Ramos, Lummi Island
EMPOWER YOUR VALUESAre you tired of state representa-
tives who reject environmental pro-tections, deny the reality of climate change, and would take away a wom-an’s right to choose?
In the upcoming election, we have a chance to fix that.
Elect Democratic challenger Alicia Rule as our representative for the 42nd Legislative District position one, and re-elect Sharon Shewmake for 42nd LD position two. Let’s send this dynamic duo to the State House of Representa-tives to work on our behalf.
During her first term in the state leg-islature, Sharon Shewmake has already made her mark as an outstanding rep-
resentative, promoting bills to make childcare more affordable, supporting dairy farmers, transportation improve-ments, and the creation of energy and resource efficiencies that protect our climate while saving taxpayer dollars.
Democrat Alicia Rule prioritizes af-fordable housing and homelessness, the creation of new living-wage jobs in our changing economy, a healthy environment and protecting a woman’s right to choose.
Both women are mothers to young children and understand the issues fac-ing families in our community.
As our representatives, they will won-derfully complement each other, Sharon as an economist, and Alicia as a small-business owner, social worker and thera-pist. They can be counted on to work in a bipartisan way to represent all Wash-ington citizens.
When my ballot arrives, I will be vot-ing for these two excellent candidates and I urge you to do so as well.
—Meredith Moench, Lummi Island
JAMES ERB FOR JUDGEI find three compelling reasons to
vote for James Erb in his race for What-com County Superior Court Judge: his breadth of experience; his widespread community support; and his commit-ment to criminal justice reform.
James has a wide range of legal expe-rience in criminal, family, and civil law. He has worked as a prosecutor for both state and tribal governments. Most re-cently he has practiced civil law as an assistant city attorney for Bellingham. With this background he will be able to adjudicate all the kinds of cases that come before our Superior Court from day one on the bench.
James’ endorsements include Wash-ington Supreme Court and Appellate judges, state legislators, Tribal Nation leaders, numerous local Whatcom Coun-ty, Bellingham, Blaine, and Ferndale elected officials, and a host of com-munity members who know and support James. James has clearly developed such broad approval by demonstrating his love of the law and his desire to serve our community.
Finally, and most important, James believes strongly in the need for re-form of our criminal justice structure, of which the judicial system is a criti-cal part. Providing fair and impartial justice to all segments of society will require vision and commitment from our elected leaders, including our judges. We can count on James Erb for that vision and I ask you to join me in supporting his campaign.

NEWS OF BOOZEBOUNDARY BAY GETS SPIRITED
Even during a pan-demic, Bellingham’s party leprechaun, Janet Lightner, knows how to make fun happen, this time securing a cocktail permit for Bound-ary Bay Brewery. It’ll be put to good use during the return of their Sunday Funday brunches, and it’s fortuitous timing that they’ve also expanded their outdoor seat-ing to the sidewalk in front of the tap-room because something tells me they’re going to need the extra space for folks who want to partake of strong beer, tasty meals—and now cocktails as well.
FASHION FOR YOUR FACEMASKED WITH KINDNESS
Samantha Roeder, crafty little devil, is one of many Bellinghamsters sewing masks—but hers have a couple of highly useful modifications. Along with regular fabric masks, she also offers Smile Masks (with a clear panel in front, es-pecially helpful for communication with hearing-impaired people) and Happy Hour Masks (with a flap and grommeted hole for a straw). Find her fashion- and function-forward wares at www.masked-with-kindness.square.site

FEEDBACK FOR THE FUTUREAfter curtailing service, offering
free rides and enacting extensive COVID-19 safety measures, the Whatcom Transportation Authority is engaged in figuring out what its near-term future will look like and they want our help. In their continuing effort to be as respon-sive as possible to the changing needs of their ridership, they’ve created a survey for the public. Go to www.ridewta.com/covid, click the “survey” link and give them a piece of your mind.
INDEPENDENCE FROM HUNGERBGO GIVES BACK
The Bellingham Grocery Outlet—more commonly known as the BGO—has launched its Independence from Hunger food drive that will run through the end of July. The entire chain of stores hopes to raise $2.25 million for local food banks, and the BGO’s share of that goal is $4,000. Give cash at the store, buy a $5 bag of food to donate or round up at checkout. A donation of $5 or more will earn you a $5 Bounce Back coupon to be used on a future purchase.

BELLINGHAM FLAG MASKSWear your civic
pride all over your face with Belling-ham flag masks courtesy of Black Rabbit Bags. The washable, adjust-able-fit, double-layer cotton masks have a wee B’ham flag sewn on one side, so you can let your freak flag fly, but in a subdued excitement kind of way. They can be purchased at Third Planet, Ideal, Fringe Boutique, Green-house, and Brazen Shop and Studio.

MONDAY A divided Supreme Court strikes down a
law regulating abortion clinics, reasserting a commitment to abortion rights over fierce op-position from dissenting conservative justices. Chief Justice John Roberts and his four more liberal colleagues ruled that the Louisiana law that requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals substantially interferes with abortion rights the court granted in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. [New York Times]

TUESDAYState Attorney General Bob Ferguson
issues a report to the Washington State
Legislature recommending policies that require law enforcement to report infor-mation about incidents involving deadly force. The report also recommends that the state create a centralized, publicly accessi-ble website with information about these incidents. “Currently, there is no single lo-cation where the public and lawmakers can obtain information about the use of deadly force by law enforcement officers in Wash-ington state,” Ferguson said. Deadly force refers to firearms discharges and incidents resulting in death or serious physical inju-ry. Some individual law enforcement agen-cies have chosen to make deadly force in-cident information routinely available, but transparency is not consistent across the state and the information is not compiled in one place. [AGO]
06.22.20
MONDAYBellingham City Council members say they are committed to criminal justice
reforms and the city’s police department reports it is already reducing harm caused by police use of force. Bellingham Police delivered a presentation on the department’s current policy on use of force. Council agrees to schedule “listening sessions” in July to hear citizen concerns about policing policies and actions. [COB]
The Trump administration’s rule narrowing the scope of which wetlands and waterways are protected under the Clean Water Act takes effect in most of the country. Federal protections for millions of small streams and wetlands are eliminated following an unsuccessful legal effort to block new regulations that redefine “waters of the United States.” Officials with the Washington Department of Ecology are scrambling to make sure nobody proceeds to fill wetlands or damage waterways, now protected solely by state law. A major concern is the potential need for many more staffers to write permits and enforce state water-quality laws. [Ecology, Puget Sound Institute]
06.26.20
FRIDAYA new report shows COVID-19 increasing transmission in Puget Sound and
across the state. Gov. Jay Inslee announces that the recent increase in coro-navirus numbers means counties won’t be able to move to a new phase of his reopening plan for now. To qualify, counties had to show they had declining infection levels, enough personal protective equipment, testing and hospital capacity and a contact tracing system. [DOH, Office of Governor]
Skagit and Whatcom counties are not eligible to move to Phase 3 of the Governor’s Safe Start plan. Skagit County reports 27 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over the past week, which is over the limit of 25 re-quired to move forward. Whatcom County is also remaining in Phase 2 due to high case counts. Whatcom’s two-week average is 28.9 confirmed cases per 100,000 residents. [DOH]
06.29.20
SUNDAY Vandals defaced the front of Bellingham City Hall following an organized
march on social justice reform. Mayor Seth Fleetwood’s office says most of the weekend demonstrators had left when a small group spray-painted slogans and obscenities on the building and took down flags and burned them on the front steps. “The hard work of translating protest to meaningful action is done with respectful collaboration—not property destruction,” Fleetwood said. Damage was estimated at $3,000. [COB]

LAST WEEK’S
NEWS
WOLVES AND WILDLANDS
Wildlife officials rejected a petition that called for new rules to limit when the state can kill endangered wolves that prey on livestock. The petition was filed in May by four conservation groups who sought to prevent conflicts that have led to the killing of 31 wolves in the state since 2012. The groups requested rules that would require ranchers to use nonlethal deterrence measures to prevent conflict in an effort to avoid killing wolves. Washington’s wolf population was virtually wiped out by ranchers in the 1930s.
The U.S. Forest Service has proposed logging about 5,700 acres near the North Fork of the Nooksack River around Glacier, Canyon, and Wells creeks. Called the North Fork Nooksack Vegetation Management Project, the proposal focus-es on the timber harvest part of the Forest Service’s multiuse mandate. As a headwater to the Nooksack Watershed, this area is crucial habitat for Chinook salmon—a vital part of Pacific Northwest fisheries, and the main food source for endangered Southern Resident orca. That puts it at odds with the priorities of some conservation groups, and it is being met with requests for further evaluation and for revisions to minimize impact on forests and rivers in the area.

654,000Estimated number of Washingtonians who stand to lose their health care benefits if the Trump Administration succeeds in overturning Obamacare in the U.S. Supreme
Court. The newest lawsuit threatens to upend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and strip 23.3 million Americans of their health coverage, according to a new analysis—about 3
million (15 percent) more than was forecast before the coronavirus pandemic.
64 65Percent of U.S. adults who believe the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health
organizations get the facts right “almost all” or “most” of the time when it comes
to the coronavirus outbreak.
Percent of U.S. adults who say the White House gets the facts right only “some of
the time” (29 percent) or “hardly ever” (36 percent) when it comes to the coronavirus
outbreak. The chance a U.S. adult who says Trump is their primary information source is a Republican is 92 percent.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF BELLINGHAM AND WHATCOM COUNTY52 WOMEN OF
WHATCOM COUNTY
Shirley Osterhaus (b. 1946) first became involved in peace activism while a student during the Vietnam War. A Franciscan Sister, she moved to Whatcom County in 1984 to work in Western Washington University’s Catholic Campus Ministry. Protesting U.S. involvement in the civil wars in El Salvador and Guatemala led her to found Central American Refugee Assistance to help refugees resettle in Canada, and after peace accords were signed in 1992, she established an organization promoting the rebuilding of communities ravaged by the war. In 2000, she was fired from campus ministry because of her activism, but was invited to teach at WWU’s Fairhaven College where, in 2001, she initiated the annual World Issues Forum. Although retired from teaching, Shirley is still involved in activism, particularly with the Whatcom Human Rights Task Force, which she cofounded in 1994.
2020 marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the formation of the League of Women Voters. Every week in 2020, the LWV is proud to feature a woman who made a difference in What-com County through their accomplishments, active community involvement or inspiring representa-tion in different fields.

GOVERNMENT TAKINGSOn June 23, a man flagged down a Bell-ingham Police officer to complain that someone had stolen and deposited the stimulus check he had received from the government.
YELLINGHAMOn June 30, Bellingham Police inves-tigated a report of a suspicious person yelling in Birchwood neighborhood.
On June 23, Bellingham Police investi-gated multiple reports of a man holler-ing and breaking out numerous windows, including the police department’s down-town transit station office. People ex-pressed concern police might be targeted by the attacks, but police said that was not the case: The 20-year-old also threw rocks and broke the windows of a conve-nience store and a church. Police reported he was angry at a lot of different people, not just the police. He was booked into Whatcom County Jail.
On June 15, Bellingham Police learned a man had pointed a gun at another person on High Street near Western Washington University campus. “The reporting person fled the area and did not wish to be a victim,” police reported.
OUTSIDE YELLINGHAMOn June 16, Blaine Police learned that a man who had damaged a vehicle in a previous incident was back at the same residence. “There was a lot of yelling and pounding noises,” police reported. Officers determined the man lived at the residence and was very intoxicated. His roommates were attempting to urge him to go to bed.
On June 15, Blaine Police responded to a traffic problem. Officers were advised that an agitated person armed with a knife was attempting to locate a vehicle that had sped through the neighborhood. Officers contacted the individual and were able to calm him down, secure the knife, and con-duct an interview about the event.
On June 15, Blaine Police learned of a loud boom. Officers located the source of the loud boom, which was a blown trans-former. The Blaine Power Company was advised and requested to respond.
THE BIG SLEEPOn June 18, a Blaine patrol officer was flagged down by a woman who was concerned about a friend. The woman
claimed she had not been able to contact her friend in several days. While speak-ing with the woman, her friend’s husband exited their home. The officer spoke to the man who said everything was fine and indicated they had just slept in.
PISSED AND POTTEDOn June 13, a Blaine patrol officer no-ticed a man urinating behind his parked car. When the officer approached to talk to the man, the man began walking to-ward a bar. The officer verbally identified himself as police and told the man to stop. The man kept walking and sat back down at the bar. The officer confronted the man who claimed to have made a stupid mistake and didn’t want to get in trouble. Police advised the bartender the man was cut off from further drinking.
On June 23, Blaine Police discovered 14 piles of feces a man left near a roadway ac-cess and asked him to clean it up. Officers returned to find the man did not clean up the feces but had tossed all the garbage in the bushes nearby. Officers issued him a criminal citation the following day.
HOME IMPROVEMENT THIEVESOn June 29, Bellingham Police learned a storage shed had been broken into in Roosevelt neighborhood. A lawn mower and weed eater were taken.
On June 29, a contractor reported his pressure washer was stolen from a job site near WWU campus. He was able to recover it later at a different address, Bellingham Police reported.
On June 29, a person was removing flow-ers from the flower bed of a business in downtown Bellingham. Police asked the person to leave.
On June 24, Blaine Police checked on a man trimming bushes. “It was deter-mined this individual was taking care of the overgrown brush next to the business to keep himself busy and get out of his house,” police reported.
EGG WARS, CTD.On June 29, a woman reported her car was damaged with eggs near WWU campus.
On June 27, a group of kids egged several houses near Northridge Park, Bellingham Police reported.
THE WILD ONEOn June 24, Blaine Police responded to a report of a lost child. “The child was out riding his toy motorcycle with no parents around,” police reported. As officers ar-rived the mother arrived as well. No fur-ther action was taken.
