Be wise with
Greenways dollars
Last week’s Gristle quoted
only one line that was part of
a much lengthier explanation
about my views on the use of
Greenway levy funds for Chuckanut Ridge. Like many that
worked for passage of the most
recent levy, I believe the levy
funds should be used frugally,
based on the historic comprehensive process.
Chuckanut Ridge is one of
as many as 20 key properties
on the Southside of town that
could help complete or enhance
the Greenway program for trails
and conservancy. The cost and
community benefit of each and
every parcel acquired must be
considered. All key properties
deserve thoughtful consideration and should not be dismissed without such analysis.
The cost/benefit comparisons
are an essential step in formulating priorities. Unfortunately, the Greenways Levy cannot
provide every need or want so
choices must be made.
When a development plan
is submitted, the City will receive, for free, about 30 percent of Chuckanut Ridge as
the required development set
asides for trails, wetlands and
buffers are established. Only
at that time should Greenway funding be considered to
further expand the width of
the trail corridor for a quality
hiking experience. Additional
Greenway funding should also
be used to widen the wetland
buffers. This is why the levy
was passed.
Greenway funding should not
be used, however, for buying
down the number of units built
in a development. Alternative
funding sources are available
for this purpose such as local
taxing districts, grants and private fundraising. I fully support
these alternative efforts. It
would be a shame to lose even
one tree of this forest.
The Greenway system and
its funding levy are precious
gifts from the community to
ourselves. Let us be wise, fair,
consistent and especially re-
sponsible about the use and
distribution of these funds that
are contributed by all Bellingham taxpayers.
—Jack Weiss, Bellingham
Time bus routes
to workers
Whatcom Transportation has
worked hard to entice commuters to ride the bus. The Smart
Pass program caught my attention for several reasons that
include parking, gas prices and
global warming issues. I liked
the bus service so much that I
sold my car, reducing our family’s dependencey on gas and
the costs attached. I can ride
downtown safely while reading
my newspaper and not worry
about parking. I get a little exercise on the way to my job and
get to know what is happening
in the heart of town.
Sound like a win/win
situation? Well it was until the
announcement that the last bus
leaving the downtown station
(#44) toward my home is being
set back 20 minutes. According
to the revised schedule, the bus will
leave at 5:25pm and that is five minutes
before my workday ends.
My employer was sympathetic the last
time the schedule changed and allowed
me to leave at exactly 5:30pm to catch
the 5:40pm bus but this new change
would tax my coworkers and be unfair.
The last scheduled change cut 25 minutes off the time we left the station.
I am very unhappy with the frequent
schedule changes that seem to cater to
the needs of Western students and main
liners (Bellis Fair to Fairhaven riders),
leaving people in my situation out in the
cold. I can make other transportation arrangements and resort back to driving
the short distance to work, but it defeats
my original goals and a piece of my participation to make things better.
The customers that ride the bus home
daily request reconsideration to the
20-minute setback change to #44 bus
or add an additional run at 6:25pm. We
will be your greatest advertisement to
entice others to use Whatcom Transit,
and together we can make a positive
change.

neglected, Greenways go sideways, the
mayor can hire unqualified key staff
people, and we never ever have environmental impact statements.
A Charter update by the people is
sorely needed to protect due process and
life quality in Bellingham. We are inviting voters to attend a brief meeting from
6-7pm Monday Oct. 2 at the Community
Food Co-op Connections Building.
For the third year in a row, City Council has postponed promised action on
providing an elected Charter Review
Commission. We have decided to launch
a Charter Amendment that would provide for periodic, elected charter commissions.
At least two council members want to
appoint a charter committee; this must
not be allowed. An appointed committee would only be advisory, with no real
influence on amendments put before
the voters.
Thanks for caring enough about good
city government to attend this meeting.
For more information, call 393-7784.

Personal choice
An old friend’s reaction to his impending death reminded me of experiencing
an Ed Abbey talk shortly before his demise about 20 years ago. Both had much
in their lives for which to be grateful
and both faced their death seemingly
unafraid. Indeed, my friend seems both
glad to be nearly done with his life and
wary about the world his children will inherit. Another friend, when confronting
all her collected stuff in storage, seemed
oblivious (she says she’s “non attached”)
to what will become of it after she’s gone.
And I, the last in my family who knows
who’s who genealogically, hope I’ll get it
all on disk. All this makes me think about
the meaning of life’s later days.
We should, of course, live our lives to
the best of our abilities, but when are we
done and how do we know? Seems the
answer has something to do with both
seizing the day and garnering the courage to live consciously. Thank God we all
have the freedom to attend to that which
we choose and to seek our own meaning.
Having someone else tell me how to live
my life seems as wrong as addiction. As
poor as they may be, I learned a long
time ago that I want to make my own
decisions. Sure, I can decide to be obedient, but that’s my decision. I certainly
don’t want someone coercing me into it.
Like Dylan wrote and sang not too long
ago we’ve “gotta serve somebody.” Our
choice though, our choice.

PARTING OF THE GREENWAYS III: The political infighting that originally opened the
Greenways rift on Bellingham City Council
may have inadvertently sealed it, as Barbara
Ryan’s rough treatment of Council President
Gene Knutson’s mayoral hopes a few weeks
ago may have reduced his support for the
fragile Knutson Compromise she named for
him. That “compromise” would have directed
all $6 million in parks and trails acquisition
funds slated for the Southside over the next
10 years, plus an additional $2 million in
undesignated Greenways acquisition funds,
plus another $2 million in park impact fees
for the purchase of Chuckanut Ridge (CR)
before the property is developed by David
Edelstein and Greenbriar Construction.
Council member Terry Bornemann struggled in vain Monday evening to hold together a fading coalition of council members in
support of that compromise, moving to table the evening’s vote on mayoral appointments to the Greenways Advisory Committee (GAC) until Ryan returns from vacation
next week. Overridden, new appointments
were approved 5-1. With Barbara absent,
Bornemann was also the sole vote against
a relatively harmless ordinance establishing
that GAC.
“Relatively harmless,” in that the committee’s rules for adding or replacing members
is similar to that of other mayor-appointed
and council-approved committees in the
City of Bellingham. Seeking more favorable
representation, Legacy advocates—supporters of the plan to use as much as $10.5
million in voter-approved levy funds for the
purchase of Chuckanut Ridge—oppose that,
arguing GAC volunteers should be elected
from every neighborhood and/or ward, providing evenhanded, citywide representation
for Greenways acquisitions.
There’s one really dumb thing about this
scheme: The Southside already has disproportionate representation on the Greenways committee. If enacted, they’d end up
with fewer advocates for the Legacy plan,
not more.
As it stands, Southsiders are fortunate
with the representation they have on GAC:
Every member would love to acquire some
or all of Chuckanut Ridge, and all are committed to doing what they can to save the
property. They just don’t believe, as a group,
that Greenways levy funds are the best tool
to negotiate such an acquisition… particularly when it siphons all the funds the entire
south end of Bellingham is budgeted to receive for park acquisitions this decade.
No, committee members and Parks staff
recognize a goal of using $6 million to buy
several potential acquisitions for Southside
neighbors every bit as delicious as Chuckanut Ridge. That is, if the Southside’s goal is
really to acquire parks and green corridors
(we hope) rather than (we fear) a grab for
community money to stop— at any cost—a
vested development in the city’s most elitist and NIMBYish neighborhood.
A fractious debate on whether to use
Greenways funds to buy down buildable
units within existing city limits threatens
to stall an acquisitions timetable for other

Coffee scares me. I picture people driving from one Cruisin’ Coffee to another,
getting a triple espresso at each. These
are gibbering, twitchy people, so unhinged by caffeine they would giggle if
they ran over you.
We have an odd talent around here for
naming thoroughfares redundantly. Yew
Street Road? James Street Road? And my
favorite: Boulevard Avenue. Boulevard
Avenue doesn’t really have a name.
Certain business names carry unintended connotations for me. For example, Cresswell Boggs is merely a pleasant downtown gift shop, but it sounds
like the name of a snooty English aris-
tocrat who bullies his servants and
sneers at everybody. If I met Cresswell
Boggs, I’d kick his teacup out of his
pasty white fingers.
Some names are too cute for their
own good, like Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream
and Treatery. When I stroll past it on my
infrequent excursions through the mall,
I’m afraid to order anything, fearing I’ll
think about the name while swallowing
and, overwhelmed by excessive cuteness, I’ll vomit my Moocha Cowpuccino

for megahouses. Or a land-speculation
opportunity. Or a place to barrel-ass
around in your motorboat or land a seaplane. So what part of “reservoir” don’t
these folks understand?
There’s one category of names in
which Bellingham takes first prize. People frequently have a word that identifies them with their city. Parisians live
in Paris and Phoenicians live in Phoenix. We who dwell in Bellingham call
ourselves ‘hamsters. What an appropriate appellation. It suggests that we’re
fun, squirmy (too much caffeine) and
don’t take ourselves too seriously. You
gotta love us.
properties throughout Bellingham. Of related
concern, the Legacy plan—originally supported in principle by Ryan, Bornemann and
a circumspect Joan Beardsley—called for CR
properties to be purchased now, before north
end acquisitions, while the property remains
undeveloped and the buying power of $10.5
million has not been diluted by infl ation and
skyrocketing land prices.
Such delay is a disservice to the terribly
park-free north end, which sat out the last two
Greenways levies while significant properties
were bought up in the Southside (including
lands bordering Chuckanut Ridge). Supporters of the city’s second Greenways levy did try
(and failed) to employ those funds to buy the
property now owned by Edelstein.
That raises a fundamental concern in the
compromise: It presumes the current owner will
sell a meaningful chunk of his property for $10.5
million, when its fair market value now rests in
the mid-30 million dollar range, according to
Edelstein’s attorney, Robert Tull (Tull sent CR
supporters a letter in July 2005, agreeing to a
sale price then of $20.7 million).
The Gristle recently asked Edelstein if he
would sell the property for $10.5 million, or if
anyone had ever seriously talked to him about
selling for that price. He assured us the answer was “no” on both counts.
It’s a good thing for Barbara Ryan that she
apparently did not, in her zeal to develop a
compromise agreement between two competing Greenways plans, negotiate a strike price
for CR on behalf of the City, as such negotiation would exceed her authority on the Bellingham City Council.
On the other hand, Ryan and her coalition
evidently did assure Southside neighbors that
$10.5 million would leverage the purchase of
Chuckanut Ridge, which captured voter support for a citywide Greenways effort that now
seems unlikely to achieve that aim. In hindsight, Ryan’s assurance seems improper.
All of which gets back to the questions of
where this $10.5 million figure came from, who
floated it and why, and what—exactly—it is
supposed to purchase.
Original Legacy proposals pushed for $12
million, then $13.5 million, then dropped to
$10.5 million through Barbara’s exertions.
“The $10.5 million for Chuckanut Ridge is a
firm bottom line for Legacy out of Greenways
and should be considered as such,” Legacy
supporter Gerry Wilbour warned council last
February. (For comparison, the largest Greenways purchase ever was $4 million for the
40-acre Pacific Concrete site in the Columbia
neighborhood in 2002, followed by the purchase of the succulent Woodstock Farm on
Chuckanut Bay for $3 million in 2004). Yet
there is no evidence we’ve found that Wilbour
or other Legacy supporters ever discussed this
“firm bottom line” in detail with the property
owner or his attorney.
Barbara did have discussions with Edelstein—a couple of them—and so questions
remain of who received their hope for a compromise from whom, and whether that hope

A Park at Point
Whitehorn
Whatcom Land Trust and
Trillium announce land swap
A steep
bluff overlooks the beach between Point
Whitehorn and Cherry Point—so steep a rope is needed to
climb, hand-over-hand, down a makeshift trail that leads
to the beach. But not for long.
A new 51-acre county park will open next summer, with
a much, much easier trail down to 1,700 feet of shoreline.
The park and trail will also provide access to about a mile
and a half of beach that is officially public but can now
only be reached through private land or from the water.

future park property.

Up above, a trail will wind through pristine
forested wetlands, with handicap-accessible
viewpoints facing the San Juan Islands. The
park’s entrance and a small parking lot will be
on Koehn Road, which is near the west end of
Grandview Road, close to Point Whitehorn.
The future park’s beach is rocky, with a
scattering of boulders and bleached tree
trunks. Wind carries the salt-water smell up
to the top of the bluff. Eagles and raptors
nest in the woods.
Whatcom County is getting the new park
through the cooperation of Whatcom Land
Trust, Trillium Corporation, the state Department of Ecology and Whatcom County Parks.
The money to pay for it—one million dollars—comes from a state Department of
Ecology grant—part of the fines paid by
Olympic Pipeline Company for the Whatcom

used to restore or pre“It’s one of the rare

Earlier this year, What- —Rand Jack, a
com Land Trust used the founding board
grant to purchase a 43acre property near the member of Whatcom
new park site, but closer Land Trust
to the BP pier. That land,
at the southern end of Jackson Road, was for
sale because B.C. Hydro no longer needed it
after the company’s proposal for a natural gas
pipeline across Georgia Strait was quashed.
While trying to purchase the B.C. Hydro property, Whatcom Land Trust discovered Trillium
owned the right of first refusal.
Instead of buying that property, Trillium
agreed to let Whatcom Land Trust buy it,
as part of a negotiated land swap that will
take place as soon as the county approves a
lot line adjustment.
“We felt the gorgeous wooded parcel Trillium owned would make a far more desirable
park,” said David Syre, Trillium’s president
and CEO, who was a founding board member
of the land trust (and is an investor in Cascadia Weekly).
The 51-acres that will become the park are
part of about 1,000 acres of industrial-zoned

At the Sept. 25 press conference announcing a
land swap that will lead to a new waterfront park,
officials of Trillium Corporation also introduced a
proposal for a mixed-use development next door.
Trillium proposes a mix of homes, light industry,
stores offices and higher-education institutions on
about 1,000 acres, South of Birch Bay between British Petroleum Cherry Point refinery and the 51-acre
park. The 1,000 acres are south of Grandview Road,
west of Jackson Road and east of Koehn Road.
The property includes about a mile of the bluff
that overlooks Georgia Strait southeast of Point
Whitehorn.
An aerial photo of the property is on the company’s web site, trilliumcorp.com, under properties for
sale at Cherry Point.
The land is currently zoned for heavy industry.
“We never felt that was an appropriate use,” said
Trillium President and CEO David Syre, during a
tour of the property a few days before the press
conference.
Parks are an allowed use on industrial land, but
the Whatcom County Council would have to change
the zoning and the Comprehensive Plan before
Trillium could proceed with housing, offices or commercial development.
“There will be an extensive public process,” said
Mauri Ingram, of Trillium.
Whatcom County Executive Pete Kremen, enthusiastic about the new park, was noncommittal about
Trillium’s development proposal.
Syre told the press conference that Trillium wants
to build “a smart community, where people can
live, work and play in a special place.”
He said the development vision in the 1960s was
of heavy industry based on the low cost of labor
and natural resources, but that’s not the case
today.
“Today, a smart community begins with preservation,” Syre said.
Gates on Aldergrove and Point Whitehorn roads
keep motor vehicles off the property, but walkers
and bike riders are welcome, Syre said. Trillium
got the county to vacate those roads to stop both
shooting and dumping on the property. Couches,
televisions, asbestos and building foundations have
been cleaned up, Syre said. “This was used as a
garbage dump into the bay.”
Wayne Schwandt, Trillium’s vice president of real
estate and special projects, said the proposed
development would be called Alden Reach—named
for the Alden Bank fishing area off Cherry Point and
for its namesake, James Alden, who as a U.S. Navy
officer before the Civil War helped survey the Pacific
Northwest. Alden, Schwandt said, also refers to
alder trees, and in Old English means “friend.”

land owned by Trillium adjacent to
the British Petroleum Cherry Point
refinery. The land has long been
farmed, and Trillium still plants the
fields with hay that is harvested by
local farmers, Syre said. Burlington
Northern had bought the land for
industrial development, then traded
it to Trillium in the early 1990s in
exchange for business parks in five
states, he said.
Trillium is also granting an easement on 30 acres adjoining the park
land to accommodate the trail to the
beach.
The land trust preferred the 51acre parcel because it’s farther away
from the refinery, the shoreline is
twice as long and the wetlands are
so special.
“It’s one of the rare examples of
what Whatcom County used to look
like when the Europeans arrived,”
said Rand Jack, a founding board
member of the land trust, before a
press conference near the park site
on Monday.
Jerry Debacker, the land trust’s
development director, said there’s no
evidence the 51 acres have ever been
logged or cleared.
During the next year, the land
trust plans to build the trail and
parking lot, then transfer the park to
Whatcom County, but retain a conservation easement. A yet-to-be negotiated sale price would reimburse
the Land Trust for development costs
and establish a maintenance fund,
an arrangement the land trust has
for other county natural areas.
“I’ve had my eye on this property
for a long time,” Whatcom County
Executive Pete Kremen said at the
press conference. “It’s at least as
magnificent as any spot on the west
coast of the United States.”
Afterward, Mauri Ingram of Trillium and Eric Carabba of Whatcom Land Trust led visitors to the
beach—including County Council
members Barbara Brenner and Carl
Weimer, both of whom clambered eagerly down the steep trail.
“The land trust hopes that this
park will be just the beginning,”
Jack told the several dozen people
at the press conference, “the cornerstone for a much larger county park
at Point Whitehorn, providing trails,
vistas and expanded public access to
this rich marine environment.”

Impact fees may fill
waterfront cost gap
Homeland Insecurity
The Port of Bellingham’s projected
capital costs for redevelopment of the
downtown waterfront—$137 million— re
expected to be matched by project revenues. But the city of Bellingham’s projected capital funds are $76 million less
than the estimated $197 million cost.
These numbers (which are in 2006
dollars and do not include financing
or the cost of secondary roads) were
presented by the Port and City during
a two-hour update on waterfront redevelopment Sept. 26, attended by more
than 200 people. The presentations will
be available online and on BTV10.
The city’s funding gap will be filled
by grants, reduced projects or developer contributions. Malcolm Fleming,
the city’s chief administrative officer,
said after the meeting that the interlocal agreement that precludes charging impact fees to developers may be
superseded by future development
agreements between the City and the
Port, allowing impact fees if sufficient
demand for property makes the no-fee
incentive unnecessary. Port spokesperson Carolyn Casey confirmed this flexibility on impact fees.
The trouble with
Denmark
City asked to speak out
against war
In emotional testimony, Bellingham
City Council heard from dozens of citizens in a three-hour session in which
they considered a resolution calling
for the immediate withdrawal of troops
from Iraq. Only two of the dozens—
many of them parents of active duty
personnel—spoke against the resolution, which was promoted in part by
the Whatcom Peace & Justice Center.
The council plans to vote on the nonbinding resolution Oct. 9.
Bellingham considers
annexation requests
City Council took the first steps
Monday evening in considering annexation requests that could add as
many as 635 acres to Bellingham.
Several people spoke in favor of a
newly proposed East Bakerview-James
Street annexation. Hearing no opposition, the council unanimously voted
to consider the request.
On Sept. 24, border crossings at Blaine,
Lynden, and Sumas were shut down for
several hours when about 60 of Canada’s
border guards walked off their jobs. The
walkouts came after guards were warned
that a person classified as “armed and
dangerous” might be headed into Canada.
Walkouts are permitted by Canadian authorities when the guards, who are unarmed, perceive threats to their personal
safety. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen
Harper says Canada’s border guards will be
armed beginning in Sept. 2007.
On Sept. 25, the Whatcom County
Sheriff’s Office issued a warning that
someone has been calling Kiwanis and
Rotary club members asking for money
to help a stranded Danish citizen return
to Denmark. Sometimes the caller identifies himself as the district governor of
the Copenhagen Rotary, according to a
WCSO news release. People receiving the
calls have been asked to meet an alleged
Danish citizen, “Vanderclerk,” outside a
downtown Bellingham bank with $400,
according to the Sheriff’s Office. The
Danish consulate confirmed they don’t
have anyone calling for funds.
Pistol-packin’ panhandler
On Sept. 21, several citizens reported a
transient was pointing a gun at another
transient at the freeway interchange at
Lakeway Drive. The heat-totin’ transient
told the trespasser to leave his panhandling corner or be shot. Bellingham Police
arrested the 52 year old transient for felony harassment. The weapon turned out to
be a pellet gun.
Welcome back, Western!
On Sept 19, a Grant Street resident
called police about new neighbors playing drums loudly. The woman said she
would not talk to the neighbors herself,
but wanted police to handle it. Additionally, over a long weekend, Bellingham and University Police issued 32 citations for malicious mischief, 19 liquor
law violations, 12 instances of disorderly
conduct, broke up 15 noisy gatherings or
loud parties, arrested 10 DUIs, and cited
eight excited students who were urinating in public.

“I’m going home, I’m hanging apples, I’m going for
it,” he proclaimed defiantly two weeks before the competition. “I’m going to develop the perfect strategy.”
Apple-chomping is one of seven events in the first
annual Harvest Chase, a 200-meter obstacle course
that will be the centerpiece of the Kindred Spirits
fundraiser, which is being put on by Sustainable Connections to support its Food & Farming Program. The
other events are Twister Milking, Grape Squishing,
Wannabe Waiter Dashing, Corn Shucking, Tomato Eating and Fish Tossing.
Shonie Schlotzhauer of Sustainable Connections calls
Harvest Chase, “the race for the rest of us.”
Fearing is director of the RE Store and a board member of Sustainable Connections.
He plans to compete with two teams he put together: Don’t Run With Darts (a group of guys Fearing plays
darts with at Uisce Irish Pub) and The RE Store RE
Jects, who are employees of RE Sources or members of
Fearing’s family.
During the practice round, Kathie Wilson, a board
member of Sustainable Connections, set the bar high
in the no-hands tomato-eating event. Wilson, the coowner of Childlife Montessori School, is coaching a Harvest Chase team of 5- and 6-year-olds.
“They will be enthusiastic and messy,” Wilson said.
“Time-wise, who knows?”

Poetry Nights
No grades, some glory
School is all about having the right answers, but a
variety of local venues let people offer up their words in open
forums where grades and what is “correct” are beside the point.
Those new to Bellingham (yep, we’re looking at you, freshmen)
should be aware of these creative outlets. Whether you’ve written a poem about the anguish of Calculus 101
or the agony of a busted aorta, these local
coffee shops and bookstores allow your secret
words to see the light of day.
Local writer Graham Isaac is a veteran of
Fantasia Espresso & Tea’s Poetry Night, which
happens every Monday and brings a wide range
of wordsmiths to the podium. The recent Seattle Poetry Slam winner reports that the space
is inclusive, and that you don’t have to be of
Emily Dickinson’s caliber to take part.

“If you do like poetry, even a little, you’ll

A few local, self-published poets including Isaac and Ryler
Dustin have their chapbooks available at the Newstand on Magnolia Street, so it’s also possible to support local talent by perusing their wares.
Isaac points out that Bellingham is home to scads of able poets, and not all of them are part of Poetry Night. He says those
on campus and in town should look into taking part in the wordy
events offered in our fair burg.
“I think there’s a lot of people who’ve been pleasantly surprised
at how downright fun it can be,” he declares.

Salute to the Sockeye
Life and death in the Shuswap
Hassles crossing the border between the United States
and Canada are trivial compared to what millions of sockeye salmon returning to British Columbia’s Adams River have to go through to reach their final
destination.
The adult sockeye that will struggle to return to their birthplace to spawn—
and die—will have to circumvent a bevy of underwater predators in the vast
Pacific Ocean before fighting their way upstream through the turbulent Fraser
and Thompson rivers to get to where they’re going.
Every four years, a dominant sockeye run of biblical proportions turns the
251-mile river crimson with a sea of returning salmon. In 2002, the parental
year for sockeye set to return this autumn, more than three million sockeye
spawned in the Adams River. According to the Adams River Salmon Society,

cross the Sumas border and get there in

A tale of seven bodies
Photo by Suzanne Fogarty
One woman’s
through physicality. Then came the
tricky part: choreographing for bodies
that had no experience in dance. Kuntz
worked with each of the seven women to
discover their own “movement vocabularies,” and arranged the moves into a
physical representation of each story.
Not everyone is a stranger to dance.
Gail Smedley, a middle school teacher
and storyteller, draws from her familiarity with Middle Eastern and North
African styles of dancing. An employee
of Western Washington University, Rose
Marie Norton-Nader brings years of experience as a professional actor in New
York to the Firehouse stage. Most participants, however, have never before
thought of themselves as dancers.
Although the process presented new
challenges for this seasoned choreographer, Kuntz is delighted with the results of working with bodies not trained
in dance. “I just think their movement
is more interesting,” she explains. The
process means that each woman’s dance
is a completely unique expression of her
own story. The performers’ lack of training also makes the show more accessible
to a wide variety of audiences, Kuntz
notes. “It’s not some perfect dancer doing it. It’s your neighbor.”
life is ruled by numbers. Another is a nun with a penchant for the forbidden. One delights in her body’s power and beauty, while another
notes “they didn’t have a name for anorexia when I had it.” These stories and more
will come to life through movement and dance when That One Curve
opens at the Firehouse Performing Arts Center this weekend.
A multimedia piece incorporating film, dance, slides, theater See It
and music, That One Curve was created by Bellingham dancer, WHAT: That One
choreographer and educator, Pam Kuntz. Kuntz, whose The Mom Curve
Project was a sellout hit last fall, has been simmering about this WHEN: 7:30pm,
project for a long time. It was born out of “my years struggling Sept. 29-30, Oct.

until she entered a store wallpapered with posters of rail-thin

One Curve to offer audiences an alternative to mainstream media’s or firehouseperformingartscentypical representation of the female form.

To create the show, Kuntz solicited interviews from local women. The tremendous response allowed her to compose a well-balanced program
representing a wide array of ages and viewpoints. The participants, who range from
22-83 years old, recorded the tales of their bodies. Kuntz listened to each account
over and over, eventually creating a framework to represent the central themes

porary artists from North America, Europe
and Asia will fill the Western Washington
University space through Dec. 1, and the
exhibit promises to have folks taking away
multiple ideas of what “family” means in
this modern world.
When asked what makes other people’s
families so interesting to those not part of
them, gallery director Sarah Clark-Langager theorizes that “we compare ourselves
to other people all the time—whether it
is color of shoes, kind of car or how many
are in their family. Comparison is one way
of looking at yourself.”
Clark-Langager further explains that
“Shoot the Family” will extend viewers
frames of reference to the relativity of
relatives. “The art will tell the story or
show the different ideas of what makes
up a family or the different perceptions of
what a family can be,” she furthers.
Clark-Langager urges both students and
the community at large to partake in this
season’s offering. While you’re at it, bring
along the family.

By the Trail of Dead/Dec.
8/Nightlight Lounge
Bellingham is
a town whose entertainment legacy is built
firmly upon a foundation of live music. In fact, it is difficult to stroll the
streets without running into a music venue of some kind. While no one could
argue with the fact that the amount of choices available is a good thing,
sometimes figuring out what kind of music happens where can be a bit confusing. So, for those of you returning to Bellingham after a summer away, and
those of you making the move here for the first time, here’s a handy primer of
many of this town’s musical resources. After all, you can’t study all the time.
Adult entertainment
BOUNDARY BAY BREWERY: The formula for Boundary Bay’s long-term success is clear: award-winning beer and creative pub fare mixed with the best
in local, live entertainment as many as five nights a week and a friendly
staff equals a good time for all. While the musical emphasis is at the twangier end of the spectrum, with bluegrass, old-timey and alt-country influences dominating, everything from reggae to rock appears on the popular
brewpub’s stage with some regularity. Where: 1107 Railroad Ave. For more
info: 647-5593 or bbaybrewery.com.
CHIRIBIN’S: When Chiribin’s geared up to offer live music not so long ago,
many doubted the ultimate success of the experiment. However, after several months of packed-out shows, it’s clear that, even without much space
for either audience or stage, Chiribin’s can clearly hold its own—and then
some—among Bellingham’s proliferation of live music venues. While Chiribin’s booker, Joel Myrene, offers up a musical menu centering primarily
around the kind of dirty rock that Bellingham has built its reputation upon,
he’s not above indulging his softer side from time to time. And, if what
you’re after is an education in live, loud, local sound, Chiribin’s can’t be
beat. Where: 113 E. Magnolia St. For more info: myspace.com/chiribins.
FAIRHAVEN PUB/THE ROYAL: Perhaps it is
unfair to group the Fairhaven Pub and the
Royal under the same heading, as they do
share some fundamental differences: the
Fairhaven Pub is in Fairhaven and is home
to a live music scene consisting of many
of the area’s most popular working bands
as well as a long-running open mic hosted
by Chuck Dingee, whereas its downtown
counterpart, the Royal, offers up no live
music (preferring the DJ’ed variety), and
I’m guessing Chuck Dingee probably doesn’t
hang out there either. However, the bars
share a dual reputation for being places
where one can go to drink, dance and meet
other people who like to drink and dance
with strangers. It should also be pointed
out that the Royal is very much like Bellingham’s own version of Vegas (minus the
showgirls and slot machines) in that what
happens at the Royal stays at the Royal.
Where: The Fairhaven Pub, 1114 Harris
Ave./The Royal, 208 E. Holly St. For more
info: fairhavenpub.com/theroyal.biz.
GREEN FROG CAFÉ ACOUSTIC TAVERN: Despite its somewhat cumbersome name, the
Green Frog, one of the latest additions to
Bellingham’s live music lineup, is one of the
SO, WHAT DO YOU do if you’re part of a
wildly popular Bellingham band that has
spent years of hard work building a solid
fan base and crafting music to be
proud of? Well, if
you’re in Racetrack,
you break up.
Yep, that’s right.
Racetrack has announced
they’re
calling it quits, but
not before they play
one last show Oct.
21 at WWU’s Viking
Union. The reasons
for the breakup are
By Carey Ross
unclear, but bandmates insist the parting was an amicable
one, and say this will free them up for
further worthwhile musical output. I
have long numbered Racetrack among my
most favorite of Bellingham bands, and
so am having a difficult time not taking
the loss personally. I hope I don’t have
to T.P. the Racetrack house or anything
to get over it.
Well, it could be worse. At least USS
Horsewhip didn’t break up too, right?
Wrong. Just as I was beginning to cope
with this Racetrack heartbreak, Horsewhip comes forward with news that they
too are calling it quits. This news was a
bit harder to believe, given the fact that
the band falsely announced their demise
several weeks ago by way of luring unsuspecting fans to one of their shows. However, it seems that the band that cried
fake breakup is now doing it for real. While
no “official” reason was given, one needs
look no further than the revolving door
through which bass players and drummers
have been ushered during the band’s history to realize the creative process comes
with a price in the house of Horsewhip.
Much like Racetrack, Horsewhip’s members
are already moving on, with Brian and Neil
playing to enthusiastic crowds in Black
Breath and James taking on some “nonserious” future musical endeavors.
While I find these breakups to be, for
lack of better phrasing, way lame, they
also give both bands the perfect excuse
to resurrect the near-legendary supergroup, Horsetrack, for one final performance. In theory, Horsetrack is a melding of both bands into something bigger
and more bombastic than either band
could be on its own. In practice, it’s a
shocking waste of a frightening amount
of musical talent—hence the appeal of
the not-so-super supergroup. I’d have to
say, being lucky enough to witness this
mangled musical mashup is one of my
lifetime local music highlights. Seeing it
again could almost make me forgive both
bands for breaking up. Almost.
DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY: Granted, it’s
not exactly in Bellingham, but if Anacortes’ Department of Safety is important
enough to once be featured on CNN, it’s
certainly important enough to make this
list. The space, which used to house the
community jail, is part art gallery, part
music venue and part living quarters for
the hardworking few through whose efforts the DoS continues to thrive. To visit
is to see more than just a show; it’s also
to witness an astonishing and inspiring
amount of creativity and resourcefulness in action. Where: 1011 12th St.,
Anacortes. For more info: departmentofsafety.com.
FANTASIA ESPRESSO & TEA: When the
Pickford Cinema closed its Bay Street
Dream Space and it seemed like no other
long-term all-ages venue was going to
present itself, the fine folks at Fantasia
scratched their heads, looked around at
their sizey square footage, considered
their nonexistent nighttime neighbors
and said, “Why don’t we have shows
here?” And thanks to supportive ownership and a dedicated booker, the space
has proven to be an especially solid fit
for the music that happens inside it. And
while you may find the softer sounds typical of coffeehouses there from time to
time, Fantasia’s heart is rock, punk and
pop to its core. Where: 1324 Cornwall
Ave. For more info: 715-1622.

during any given week you can hear Latin, reggae, soul and funk, swing, world
music—the list is never-ending. Local
bands are also given ample chance to
represent on the Wild Buffalo stage,

fact that, given the acoustics of the bar,
music of any kind just sounds better inside the four walls of the Wild Buffalo.

STUART’S AT THE MARKET: When the
beloved local landmark that was Stuart’s
Coffee closed down, many mourned the
loss as one that would be felt forever.
But when its owners decided to take one
more shot at pulling shots and opened a
space in downtown’s Public Market building, the first question was “When does
the live music start?” After all, the old
Stuart’s is where every musician in town
played their first show. And now that it’s
gotten a new start in the Public Market,
that legacy can live on. Where: 1530
Cornwall Ave. For more info: 714-0800.
WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY:
While shows happen all over campus as
space and inspiration allows, WWU is
home to three major music venues: the
Performing Arts Center (PAC), Viking
Union Multipurpose Room (VU), and the
Underground Coffeehouse. The PAC offers
up more classical and refined musical fare
aimed at the community as a whole, while
the primary function of the other venues
is to draw the student population. The
Underground Coffeehouse achieves this
with free shows in a comfortable setting
featuring mostly local singer/songwriters. The VU, on the other hand, kicks off
its concert series Sept. 29 with a show
by Ben Kweller, following it up during
the next few months with shows featuring local band Racetrack and Seattle’s angriest musical outfit, the Blood Brothers.
Where: Western Washington University.
For more info: wwu.edu.
MISC. VENUES: One might think a town
without a dedicated all-ages music venue
would be a quiet one for those not yet
21, but thanks to the ongoing efforts of
a whole slew of folks, what it means for
Bellingham is that any space that holds
more than a handful of people is ripe
for a show. Shows have taken place at
Fairhaven’s Firehouse Performing Arts Center, the Depot Market Square, the Mount
Baker Theatre, the iDiOM Theater, various
and sundry churches, houses, abandoned
warehouses—even Bellingham’s alleys
are not safe from the all-ages onslaught.

If you want to know what’s going on, a
five-minute walk downtown with an eye
out for posters and fliers should do it.
Where: Everywhere. For more info: Keep
your eyes peeled.

Thurs., Sept. 28
SHOOGLENIFTY: The Scottish six-man band
dubbed Shooglenifty merges traditional Celtic
music and modern dance grooves at 7:30pm at

By Peter Travers
School for Scoundrels
Napoleon strikes back
Don’t get
scared off, but
there’s a soupcon of French farce in Todd
Phillips’ uproarious and unexpectedly biting School for Scoundrels. A moral subtext
is not what you’d expect from the director
of Road Trip and Old School. But in between the bathroom jokes and paintball
fights, the laughs in this hot and rowdy
funfest come with a sting.
As Roger, a wussified New York meter
maid, Jon Heder orbits past his Napoleon
Dynamite character at last by getting seriously fierce. In the beginning, Roger can’t
even find the courage to ask his neighbor
Amanda (Jacinda Barrett) for a date. It’s
no wonder Roger and other assorted misfits
sign up for a secret course in one-upmanship and romantic conquest run by Dr. P
(Billy Bob Thornton) and his scary assistant Lesher (Michael Clarke Duncan). What
Dr. P instructs about women—how to court
them, bed them and dump them—earns
Roger’s admiration until he decides to beat
the old horndog at his own dirty tricks. His
motive is revenge. Dr. P wants to seduce
Amanda. At an explosively comic tennis
match, Roger catches Amanda with a slick
Dr. P, using a fake name. “Is this your dad?”
Roger asks, with a bogus innocence only
Dr. P could have taught. It’s war, and this
time it’s between equals.
Thornton’s Dr. P looks nothing like the
bitter burnout Thornton played to perfection in Bad Santa. Dr. P dresses better,
wears a rug and is advanced in social skills.
Thornton is fiendishly funny, lacing his
charm with a cruelty that spares no one.
School for Scoundrels probably juggles
too many comic balloons for its own good.
The hilarity loses its helium on more
than one occasion. It helps that Thornton and Heder keep you howling, but the
The third (and supposedly final) installment of the X-Men franchise finds Brett
Ratner (Rush Hour ) at the helm, after Bryan Singer--who directed the first two
episodes--pulled out of the project to oversee Superman Returns. Unfortunately,
Singer took the majority of his staff with him, including screenwriters Michael
Dougherty, Dan Harris, and David Hayter. What separated the first two X-Men
films from the comic-book-turned-movie pack was Singer’s dark, subtle style and
the surprising amount of depth found in the characters and dialogue. With those
elements now absent, X-Men III feels very much like just another big-budget Hollywood exercise in demolition and mayhem. The film picks up where X-Men II left
off, with Jean Grey missing, mutants seemingly living in peaceful cohabitation
with humans and the X-Men hard at work molding the minds of young mutants at
Professor Xavier’s school. However, the recent discovery of a “cure” for genetic
mutation incites the return of Magneto (Ian McKellen) and a cadre of renegade
mutants determined to obliterate mankind once and for all. Countless explosions
and fight sequences ensue. The cast remains largely intact, with stalwarts like
McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and Hugh Jackman delivering entertaining performances, but Singer’s departure left a void that no CGI bridge detonation can fill.
Devotees will lust after the Stan Lee Collector’s Edition DVD, which comes with
an original mini-comic written by Lee. The standard edition DVD features deleted
scenes, three alternate endings and commentary by Ratner and screenwriter Zak
Penn. (Movie ^^^) Rated PG-13 • 1 hr. 44 min. (20th Century Fox)
DVD: The Lake House
School for Scoundrels
probably juggles too
many comic balloons
for its own good. The
hilarity loses its helium
on more than one
occasion.
hero of these two hours is definitely Phillips. Admit it, you’ve watched Old School
more than once on DVD. I have. Maybe
comic directors can’t get respect, especially ones who subvert stupid with their
own unassailable smarts, but Phillips is
here to stay. And the whacked humor and
sneaky substance of School for Scoundrels
is another compelling reason why.
Sandra Bullock and Keanu
Reeves team up again, but
this time rather than saving a busload of innocent
people from imminent
doom, they find themselves
entangled in a metaphysical love story that defies
the boundaries of space
and time. The brainchild
of Pulitzer Prize-winning
playwright David Auburn,
The Lake House operates
on the premise that Reeves
and Bullock--who inhabit
the same piece of property,
but two years apart--can
somehow correspond with
one another via the house’s
magical mailbox, sending one another sappy, confessional letters back and forth
through time. If that sounds convoluted and logic-defying, that’s because it is.
The fact that Reeves possesses the most wooden screen presence this side of
Howdy Doody doesn’t exactly help matters, either. As romantic comedies go, The
Lake House works, primarily because it tweaks the conventions of the genre thanks
to Auburn’s premise. Unfortunately, that same premise also prohibits Reeves and
Bullock--who have a decent chemistry between them--from appearing onscreen
together, and drowns the film in a sea of absurdity. Ultimately, The Lake House
comes off as a mildly entertaining experiment in suspension of disbelief. As
romantic comedies go, we’ve been given much worse. Special features include a
brief featurette. (Movie ++) PG • 1 hr. 45 min. (Warner Bros.)

Astrology
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love isn’t as simple as
you wish it would be. On the other hand, it’s nowhere
near as complicated as you fear it is. My advice to you
is to extinguish any itch you might have to compel
love to serve any agenda at whatsoever. Instead, bow
down before it with all the innocence you can muster,
and declare yourself ready to be its humble student and
servant. Celebrate through surrender.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Dear StarMan: I
want to be a famous actress like Scarlett Johansson. I
know my natural talent is as good as hers, but I’m not
especially beautiful. On one of those ‘am I hot or not?’
websites, I was rated 3.2 out of 10. Can you look into
my future and see if I’ll ever make it big in Hollywood?
And would it help if I got cosmetic surgery? - Taurus
Dreamer.” Dear Taurus: It’s a favorable time for you Tauruses to explore ways you might be kidding yourselves
about your destiny. So let me ask you this: Does the
dream you articulated express the primal truth about
your purpose here on earth? Or is it a fantasy your ego
has fabricated out of a deluded longing to pursue inappropriate ambitions that won’t satisfy you in the long
run? Instead of saying, “I want to be a famous actress,”
try this desire on for size: “I want to be a good actress.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When I was in Seattle
recently, I was impressed with the extravagant requests
of three seedy-looking homeless guys downtown. Their
cardboard signs made it clear they wanted far more
than the usual alms. “Need cash to buy fuel for my Lear
jet,” read one. “Girlfriend needs liposuction—please
help defray costs” and “Desperately need new set of
golf clubs for golf date with Donald Trump” said the
other two. Draw inspiration from these cheeky fellows.
Dream really, really big; ask for more than you’ve dared
to before.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Is your schedule
too rigid to allow magic to seep in? Then mutate that
schedule, please. Is your brain so crammed with knowledgeable opinions that no fresh perceptions can crack
their way in? Then flush out some of those opinions. Is
your heart so puckered by the stings of the past that it
can’t burst forth with any expansive new invitations?
Then unpucker your heart, for God’s sake.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Picture a bridge that once
upon a time allowed cars to cross over a river, but that
now has nothing but hard dirt and scrubby bushes beneath it. In other words, the river that once compelled
the building of the bridge has dried up. This is a useful
symbol for you. Metaphorically speaking, you’re thinking
about erecting a bridge over a barrier that won’t be a
barrier much longer. If you wait a while, it won’t be
necessary to do all that work.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Jeff Greenwald (www.
ethicaltraveler.com) has traveled extensively all over the
planet for the last quarter of a century. “Do the citizens
of the world revile us Americans more each year?” I
asked him. He said that while millions upon millions
have come to despise the U.S. government, most don’t
actually hate us, the American people. That’s because
they know firsthand the corruption and tyranny of their
own countries’ politicians, and so they don’t hold our
awful government against us. Let this distinction serve
as a guide for you, Virgo. The time is right for you to
fight inept institutions and rotten traditions and bad
ideas, but without hating anyone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Emilio Estevez was
experiencing writer’s block as he worked on a screenplay
about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. In his
desperation to get unstuck, he jumped in his car and
started driving north along the California coast. He
stopped at the first random motel that had a vacancy,
resolved to make this the place400
he’d plow ahead on the
400
screenplay. The motel clerk recognized Estevez’s famous
Rentals
Rentals
face and asked him what he was up to. When he told
her about his stalled project, she gasped. She had been
at the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. on June 4 and 5, 1968,
the place and time Kennedy was killed. As she told Estevez her recollections of that night, he felt his writer’s
block dissolving. In the ensuing days, he wrote up a
storm. I predict, Libra, that you’re about to experience
a similar synchronicity. It will jump-start a labor of love
that has been on hold.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Last year actress
Michelle Rodriguez was arrested for drunk driving in
Hawaii. She was given the choice of spending five days
in prison or doing 240 hours of community service.
She surprised everyone by choosing to be incarcerated.
Some observers theorized that she felt it would be a
good chance to do research for future film roles as a bad
girl. Rodriguez said, “I’m a gypsy. I can see beauty in a
jail cell.” While I’m not predicting you’ll end up behind
bars in the coming week, Scorpio, I do suspect you’ll
have a bout with limitation. If you do, regard it as an
invitation to accomplish three things: (1) Develop more
compassion for people who’ve undergone comparable
adventures; (2) expand your ability to find beauty
in challenging circumstances; (3) cultivate your skill
at creating opportunities for yourself in the midst of
perplexity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Miami’s Hotel
Victor has a “vibe manager” on the staff. This person’s
job is to ensure that the hotel’s ambiance is soothing
and cheerful. As I see it, Sagittarius, one of your
important tasks right now is to be a vibe manager for
the environments you share with people. (It’s in your
selfish interests to do so.) In addition to keeping the
atmosphere relaxing, however, you should also keep it
invigorating. Don’t let comfort lapse into stagnancy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It’s not whoring
if you do it for free,” read both of the matching t-shirts
on a couple I saw at a San Francisco café. Being a
curious sort, I went up and asked them what exact
activity they were referring to. “He loves to give away
his top-notch psycho-spiritual advice,” the woman said,
pointing to her companion, “and I love to give out
compliments without expecting anything in return. Need
any free advice or compliments?” Her earnest statements were in sharp contrast to the glib humor of the
t-shirt quip. The next day, as I meditated on your astrological omens, I realized my experience with them was
a foreshadowing of the oracle I should give you. Here
it is: Be both playful and sincere as you deepen your
commitment to generosity. Cultivate a blithe intensity
as you bestow more of your gifts on the world.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Your job,” my
philosophy teacher Norman O. Brown told me back in
1981, “is to find the holy in the mundane, and, failing
that, to create the holy in the mundane.” I’ve done my
best to carry out his directions all these years. Now I’m
going to ask you to do your part, Aquarius. Believe it or
not, one of your important tasks in the coming week is
to feel awe and reverence while you’re in the midst of
the everyday routine. Penetrate to the deeper layers as
you seek out divine beauty that gently shocks you into
a state of heightened awareness.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her role as DJ Debi
Newberry in the film Grosse Point Blank, Minnie Driver
defines the term shakabuku as a swift spiritual kick to
the head that alters your reality forever. I think you’re
due for one of those blessings-in-disguise, though I
also believe you can avoid it if you really want to. One
way to prevent its delivery would be to hide in your
room and ferociously repress every unruly emotion
that threatens to rise to the surface. A preferable
strategy would be to figure out why you might need a
swift spiritual kick in the head and then take action to
change the awkward situation that would require the
kick’s arrival.
Homework. At least 30 percent of everything you
know is half-wrong. Can you guess what it is?

Columbia Neigborhood
house share Two bachelors looking for a housemate
to share large house with
large basement/common
areas. two baths, excellent
kitchen. we have one cat, but
that is stretching the pets
a bit. The utilities include
Comcast cable and internet,
Electrical and Gas (the gas
goes from $6-8 per person in
summer to about $35-40 per
person in the coldest month).
The house is on Northwest
avenue, Columbia Neighborhood. Available October 1st.
We don’t party, but understand if others do. We’re a
bit of a tolerant mismatch, I
am a bit cluttered, he’s the
opposite. We’re looking for a
long-term person if possible,
though there will be no
lease, it’s month-to-month,
but a sweet deal. If you like
movies, you’ll like living here.
Please email if interested.
