LIBERTY OR DEATH?Due to an appalling lack of leadership, we

now find ourselves with the worst pandemic combination possible, high rates of infec-tion and economic collapse. Multiple opinions exist as to which of our leaders contributed most to this.

I understand these differences and can at-tribute them to ideological differences. I am, however, baffled by the controversy surround-ing masks.

The scientific consensus regarding mask wear is that they provide some protection to the wearer but that most protection is to those with whom the wearer comes in contact. In short, the mask protects your neighbors more than it protects you.

Assuming that is the case it seems that mask wear is the easiest thing one can do to demon-strate one’s regard for their fellow citizens. Not wearing a mask while in an indoor public space says, “I don’t care about you.” It is a malignant twist of Patrick Henry’s quote, “Give me liberty and give you death.”

I understand the freedom and liberty argu-ment. However, I have heard it stated that we have freedoms from and freedoms to. We have freedom to wear a mask or not. Conversely, we have freedom from preventable exposure to a potentially deadly pathogen.

As a retired dentist and former Army officer I see this as a low-risk, high-benefit interven-tion. It seems silly and selfish to choose this as a cause to argue individual liberty.

—Bill Ciao DMD, Bellingham

THE SUMMIT OF OUR AWARENESSI was pleased to see Jim Whittaker’s involve-

ment in the Wear a Mask Initiative made pos-sible by a local volunteer group, the Realities of Advanced Medical Interventions team.

Whittaker, as the first American to reach the summit of Mount Everest, is a persuasive voice to raise awareness about the necessity for face coverings if we want to bring COVID-19 under control to get our economy humming again. An effective vaccine could be months in the future, but wearing a mask is an immediate, easy step to take that is a proven component in slowing the coronavirus spread.

The “Be an American Hero” concept in Whit-taker’s mask messaging is a positive, no-sham-ing narrative.

Ferndale and other areas of north Whatcom County, unfortunately, are experiencing worri-some cluster outbreaks of COVID-19, which we must address before schools can safely open.

Mask up! It depends on all of us, working to-gether, as local heroes.

—Delores Davies, Ferndale

THISWEEK

COVER: Illustration by Dario Castillejos

She won two Oscars, was the last surviving cast member from Gone With the Wind, lived an enviably elegant life in Paris, and was famously engaged in a bitter lifelong rivalry with her famous sister, Joan Fontaine. But Olivia de Havil-land’s most lasting legacy cannot be found onscreen or in a family feud, but instead via the lawsuit she won against Warner Bros. that shifted the balance of power in Hollywood from the studio system to actors and agents—the ripples of which are still felt today. De Havilland died Sun., July 26 at the age of 104.

BIG TALK, LITTLE ACTIONOn day one of the coronavirus crisis,

Gov. Jay Inslee told Washingtonians that they should stay home and practice so-cial distancing. On day two, he made it clear there would be no penalties for not doing so. The message transmitted was the public need not carry out the gover-nor’s proposed solutions.

From early in the pandemic this has helped fuel the large number of Wash-ingtonians who do not practice staying at home or social distancing. Now the same thing is happening regarding face masks. In his news conference on July 16, Gov. Inslee made a strong statement in favor of wearing masks, only to make it clear two questions later that he would not enforce their being worn—despite a significant rise in coronavirus cases and deaths in Washington.

In related events, the Seattle Times has sat on the story of how the lack of enforce-ment of stay-at-home “orders” has played a role in spreading the virus around the state. And that the Inslee administration is aware a lack of social distancing enforce-ment has helped bring about an increase in cases and deaths in Seattle’s construction industry and among farmworkers in east-ern Washington.

Here in Bellingham, there is—and has been—no stay-at-home, social-dis-tancing, or mask-wearing enforcement outside of offices and businesses under Mayor Fleetwood. Cyclists, in particular, who have descended upon Bellingham’s trails and parks from all over, very rarely maintain social distancing or wear masks. Then again, in Fleetwood’s Bellingham there has been virtually no enforcement of anything concerning safety measures related to the pandemic outside of of-fices and businesses except for install-ing plastic sheeting over already closed water fountains in Whatcom Falls Park.

IDOLS OF STONE, FEET OF CLAY

“Statues matter. People not so much.”This seems to be the slogan being

advanced by our current president. We think it is time for a new slogan. And in fact, it is also time for a new president.

The only thing this current president seems able to accomplish is to throw vir-tual rolls of paper towels at us. “Here, you can use these to clean up the mess I made of your country.”

RANDOM RESTAURANT BITS AND BITESINSLEE’S NEW RULES

Hoping to stop the spread of COVID-19, Gov. Jay Inslee has further refined the Phase 2 rules regarding restaurants. Beginning July 30, indoor dining will be limited to members of the same household, alcohol service will end at 10pm, and all bars will be closed for indoor service. This will no doubt cause local restaurants to alter policies, so be kind about changes and don’t give service workers any guff. They’re dealing with a lot these days.

REDLIGHT REFRESHMENTSIn their continuing

effort to make my dreams come true, the Redlight has got-ten their hands on a slushee machine. If you need me, I’ll be at the State Street spot downing dump-lings and drowning my sorrows in blonde redhead slushees for the remainder of the summer.

DAISY CAFE REOPENINGThe headline pretty

much says it all—and so do the Daisy Cafe’s windows, where “reopening soon” has been written in declarative block letters, augmented by two exclamation points, so you know they mean business. The popular Magnolia Street eatery has been slinging takeout orders, but will soon feature inside dining as well. Come to me, Daisy omelet.

ALL HAIL THE TRASH BANDITSLOW LORIS

Slow Loris Studio, the Guemes Island screen-printing pow-erhouse, won a $5,000 small-business grant from socially conscious drinkware company MiiR. They used an initial chunk of it to design and print water bottles to benefit Black Lives Matter—and then they did what I hope any of us would do with free money: They made raccoon mugs with glow-in-the-dark eyes. Check out their Instagram page to win a glowy-eyed trash bandit of your own to sip from.

front of its Railroad Avenue locale. I’ve heard that curry mayo tastes even better when eaten outdoors, so be sure and grab extra for your burger and onion rings.

BLISS TEA NOW OPENWaiting in line to gain entry to Trader

Joe’s is a boring but necessary affair. Make it more fun and refreshing by stop-ping in at the now-open Bliss Tea for bubble tea to take with you to the back of the line to drink while you pretend to be on your phone while secretly eaves-dropping on everyone around you. Wait. Am I the only one who does that?

GRILLED CHEESE POPUPAnmly Cafe, in partnership with a

whole slew of local businesses, is host-ing an Aug. 1 grilled cheese popup and fundraiser with 100 percent of the pro-ceeds to be split between the Whatcom Peace and Justice Center and the WWU Black Student Union. Preorder online and nab yourself a fancier grilled cheese than you’ll ever make at home before they sell out.

MORE HOURS IN THE DAY FILM IS TRUTH

Since one of the only truly safe sources of enter-tainment these days is to stay home and watch movies and television shows, I’m sure it comes as welcome news to all that Film is Truth has expanded its hours to include Mondays and Tuesdays. Nothing feels normal right now, but

browsing for movies and taking them home to watch before returning them late sure comes close.

COMMUNITY FOOD CO-OPCurbside pickup is the wave of the

present, and never ones to be behind a curve, the Community Food Co-op has extended its hours for the sidewalk ser-vice. Downtown pickup hours are now 9am-4pm, while curbside runs 10am-7pm at the Cordata location.

LOCAL SHOPS VANDALIZEDSeveral local businesses—

Simmering Tava, D’Anna’s Cafe Italiano, Wise Awakening, Sandy and Vale’s Shoe Repair, Sweet Art, Gathering Glass Designs, and oth-ers—all had windows smashed last weekend by a person or persons wielding large rocks and harbor-ing a dark heart. If you know of anyone matching that description, alert law enforcement. And don’t hesitate to throw a little extra support their way—they need it.

third-degree child rape. Both charges includ-ed aggravating factors that said the crimes were part of an ongoing pattern of sexual abuse of the same victim under age 18 in multiple incidents over a prolonged period of time, court records state. The complaint claims the judge improperly investigated Johnston’s own history of abuse, considered it while sentencing her and deprived the parties involved in the current sexual abuse case of due process of law, violating judicial standards for fairness and impartiality. The prosecutor asked that the judge recuse her-self from the case and to send it to another judge for resentencing. [Bellingham Herald]

Activists who won a U.S. court order re-stricting the Seattle Police Department’s use of chemical weapons for crowd control say the department should be held in con-tempt of court for violating it in a “vengeful outburst” over the weekend. In June, a U.S. District judge issued an order forbidding Se-attle police from using “chemical irritants or projectiles of any kind” against people demonstrating peacefully. But the Ameri-can Civil Liberties Union of Washington and other groups representing Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County claim that police shot pepper spray and blast balls indiscrimi-nately into a crowd after a small number of protesters engaged in property destruction. The police also clearly targeted journalists and legal observers with blast balls or pep-per spray, the motion said. [ACLU]

Federal militarized officers will remain in Portland until attacks on the U.S. court-house cease, a top official declared after a night of protests and violence. Local and state officials said the federal officers are unwelcome. The mayor of Portland and five other cities appealed Monday to Congress to make it illegal for the federal government to deploy militarized federal agents to cities that don’t want them. [Oregonian]

Washington health officials reported 865 new COVID-19 cases over the weekend. This brings the total number of cases statewide to 50,824 as of July 23. The state’s rolling average number of cases has been well over 600 during most of July, compared to about 250 at the end of April. The total number of deaths is currently 1,495. [WDOH]

TUESDAYWashington joins a coalition of states urg-

ing the Trump Administration to immediate-ly withdraw its new reporting structure that prohibits hospitals from reporting COVID-19 data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The directive creates a system controlled solely by the U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services. Attorneys from 22 states urge the department to restore the CDC to its rightful role as the primary authority over and source of information about the nation’s public health data. [AGO]

TUESDAYAn environmental group files a lawsuit against the Trump administration for

failing to release public records on the termination of a program to restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades. The U.S. Department of the Interior earlier this month announced the agency will not conduct the environmental impact statement needed to reintroduce grizzlies into the North Cascades. “The secrecy surrounding this issue has persisted for years, and it’s mind-boggling that the Interior Department has taken its anti-wildlife agenda to this level,” said Sophia Ressler, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity. “Our suit aims to get to the bottom of the administration’s distorted priorities on grizzlies and other imperiled species.” Fewer than 2,000 grizzlies are found in five isolated popula-tions in the northern Rocky Mountains, mostly around Yellowstone and Glacier national parks. North Cascades grizzlies are considered the most at-risk bear population in the United States. [Center for Biological Diversity]

FRIDAY Trump officials declare that a proposed gold and copper mine in Alaska—

which would be the largest in North America—would not pose serious envi-ronmental risks, a reversal from a finding by the Obama administration that it would permanently harm the region’s prized sockeye salmon. The official about-face regarding the bitterly contested project epitomizes the whiplash that has come to define environmental policy under President Trump, who has methodically dismantled many of his predecessor’s actions on climate change, conservation and pollution. [Washington Post]

An early sockeye salmon run is having trouble making it up the Fraser River and the majority won't make it to their spawning grounds this year, largely because of the ongoing Big Bar landslide, according to a report from the Pacific Salmon Commission. Despite tens of thousands of fish passing through sites in Mission and Hells Gate, none have been observed on the other side of the landslide. [CBC]

MONDAY A prosecutor asks Whatcom County Superior Court for a longer sentence

for a woman who participated with her husband in the years-long sexual abuse of a girl, after the judge sentenced the woman to less than half the agreed recommended prison time. Kristi Lynn Johnston, 32, was sentenced on July 6 to a little more than two years in prison for one count of second-degree child molestation, according to court records, the Bellingham Herald report-ed. But Johnston was originally charged with second-degree child rape and

TAHLEQUAH IS PREGNANT

The orca known as Tahlequah, who raised worldwide concern when she carried her dead calf for 17 days and more than 1,000 miles almost two years ago, is pregnant, researchers announced. The southern residents frequent Puget Sound, are struggling to survive, and most pregnancies are not successful. Tahlequah’s baby was the first for the whales in three years. The southern residents have since had two more calves, in J pod and L pod. Both are still alive. The current population of the southern resident orcas is 72.

Dolly Connelly (1913-1995) From her home in Bellingham, Dolly Connelly worked as a photographer, journalist and fierce environmental advocate for publica-tions including Time, Life and Sports Illus-trated. She covered a proposed open pit copper mine at Glacier Peak Wilderness in the 1960s. She pressed for the formation of the North Cascades National Park. In 1960, her photo of Bellingham Bay, its murky waters polluted by pulp mill runoff, accompanied a Life article about the environment. In 1965, she climbed 14,000-foot Mt. Kennedy with Robert Kennedy and Jim Whitaker. Dolly's son, Seattle PI columnist Joel Connelly, set up a foundation to award the Dolly Connelly Award for Excellence in Environmental Journalism to newspapers in the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association.

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.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Pacific

Northwest became a hotbed of industry-

vs.-conservancy arguments, and Connelly

became involved with all of them.

THE CONTINUING CRISISOn July 21, a dispute broke out in Sno-homish County after an 18-year-old man taunted sheriff’s deputies, dangling a doughnut hanging from a stick in front of them. According to reports, the man approached a group that included depu-ties and marshals assigned to patrol the courthouse campus, one of whom was a lieutenant wearing plain clothes. The sus-pect reportedly shoved the stick toward the plainclothes deputy and marshal. Of-ficers initially laughed but pushed him away when he persisted, and he was ar-rested. An eyewitness to the event said the encounter with the doughnut took place after a protest rally ended and after most people had dispersed. From his per-spective, the man didn’t do anything to deserve being jailed.

LAST GASPS OF THE COUGHFEDERACYOn July 18, Blaine Police learned of trouble with a customer at a local business. “The manager advised officers that two individ-uals were not wearing masks, were making inappropriate comments to other people, claiming to have COVID-19 and coughing throughout the store,” police reported. “The individuals threatened to assault the store manager while he was escorting them out of the business. Police were not called until the two were leaving.

On July 18, Blaine Police learned a wom-an was calling a local business to harass them. An officer called the woman and spoke with her. “The woman complained that her husband and son were trespassed from the business and that she purchased an item that made her ill,” police reported The woman was advised she was trespassed from the business and was told to stop calling them.

On July 20, Blaine Police spoke to a woman who wanted to file a complaint against a business that was allegedly not abiding by the mask ordinance. An officer contacted the business, which had already posted a sign about masks being mandatory.

UNCLEAR ON SOCIAL DISTANCINGOn July 23, Blaine Police learned that two cars were ramming each other on Interstate 5. Officers arrived and deter-mined the incident occurred in the coun-ty. Whatcom County Sheriff’s deputies and Washington State Patrol arrived and took over the investigation.

FRAYED FAMILIESOn July 20, Blaine Police learned of an argument. Officers arrived and contacted the family members who had been in a verbal dispute. The family members had a disagreement with each other over things getting done in a timely manner. The po-lice determined no crime was committed during the verbal argument.

On July 20, Blaine Police learned two parents had a disagreement with each other over getting formula for their baby.

On July 22, Blaine Police received a re-port that a man and woman were scream-ing at each other. Officers arrived at the residence and were told a dog got out, which resulted in yelling for the dog to come back. Both individuals denied hav-ing any sort of argument.

On July 23, Blaine Police responded to a complaint about a loud party. The call was upgraded to a possible verbal dispute between a man and a woman. Officers arrived and located the woman who was with other friends. She explained the man was no longer there but was upset about the current political climate.

On July 21, Blaine Police learned a man and a woman were arguing loudly, and the man was throwing items. Officers arrived and recommended both parties stay away from each other until they had cooled off. Also, it was recommended they find more constructive ways of communicating.

On July 20, Blaine Police learned two men were yelling at each other. Offi-cers contacted the apparent victim, who claimed another man ran up to him and began yelling obscenities while the vic-tim was eating lunch. “The two men know each other and frequently yell at one an-other,” police reported.

BUNNY HOPOn July 25, Bellingham Police spoke to a person who was hunting rabbits in Squal-icum Creek Park after hours.

THE GRIFT THAT KEEPS GIVINGOn July 21, a Blaine woman called police to report a telephone scam. “A fraudster called and claimed to be from the Drug Enforcement Agency,” police reported. The man claimed the woman had a war-rant out of Texas for murder and money laundering. The caller knew several de-tails of the woman’s personal informa-tion. She was told to obtain a $1,300 gift card from a national hardware store or the U.S. Marshals Service would be coming to arrest her the following day. The victim did not lose any money and was told to hang up on scam callers.
