DÉJÀ VU SQUAREDAs Yogi Berra said, “It’s like déjà vu all

over again!” As we head into this particularly uncertain holiday season, our country is in a third wave of SARS-CoV-2 infections. In Western Washington, though better than many places, we’re seeing rates that are surpassing case highs seen in the spring.

During my career caring for chronic kidney disease patients, I know that COVID-19 poses serious challenges for them. Now we know that non-elderly adults, with no underlying medical conditions, infected with COVID-19 can develop acute kidney injury, a sudden loss of kidney function. Though with proper treatment, including dialysis in severe cases, it can be reversible, it carries a high mortality rate. If we all collectively increase our efforts to keep the virus at bay, we can help save lives and avoid a fourth and fifth wave.

COVID-19 is increasing across every age group, currently most frequently in people over the age of 80, and those between 20 and 29.

It is so important that we rethink our traditional holiday plans. Public health and medical professionals are encouraging Washingtonians to voluntarily comply with masking and social distancing directives and not gather with those with whom they don’t live.

It’s not likely we’ll go “cold turkey” on socialization, but please consider everyone’s health and well-being as you find new, safe ways

to celebrate the 2020 holidays. This is a societal challenge of our times.

—William E. Lombard, MD, Bellingham

FIXING A BROKEN DEMOCRACYWe need to fix our political system. In many

respects it is very unfair and strays very far from democracy.

Allowing gerrymandering results in unfair government. Only one state, Arizona, has more Republicans in the state (35 percent to 33 percent) but more Democratic congresspeople (five to four). As you can see, the differences are small. But six states have more Democrats in the state yet more Republican congresspeople. But the unfairness does not stop there. For example, Ohio is 45 percent to 41 percent Republican over Democrat, yet 75 percent of its congresspeople are Republican. Gerrymandering must end.

The population size of a state can also lead to unfairness. California has 70 times more population than Wyoming, yet both have two senators. A Wyoming senator has 70 times the power of a California senator. Most less-populous states are Republican, giving them an unfair Senate advantage. And the very Democratic District of Columbia, which has more people than Wyoming and Vermont, gets no representation at all. We must fix this unfairness.

The Electoral College is completely unfair. Two of the last three presidents obtained power even though they were beaten at the ballot box. Even

COVER: Illustration by Sean Delonas

A 10-year collaboration between NASA and SpaceX—the aerospace project founded by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs to enable the colonization of Mars—came closer to fruition Monday night when the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft safely docked at the International Space Station. Astronauts Michael Hopkins, Shannon Walker, Victor Glover, and Soichi Noguchi will spend approximately six months aboard the ISS, where they’ll work on science experiments, conduct space walks, and assist the three astronauts already onboard with updates and repairs on the exterior of the space station.

SHOP FOR THEIR LIVESSPREAD LOVE LOCALLY

The holiday season is vital to the success of local small businesses, and 2020 is shaping up to be a critical year to invest in where you live. Here at the Weekly, we are all local lovers—join us in our pledge to spread our gift budget around town and ensure our money lives on in our local economy.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

11.18.20BY CAREY ROSS

A TIMELY REMINDERLOVE THY NEIGHBOR

After eight months of pandemic life, we’re all feeling frazzled. Getting through this is going to require our entire store of patience and then some. This is just your reminder that businesses have had to adapt and adapt and adapt some more, so give them a bit of grace if they don’t have an immediate handle on things like updating hours or policies and procedures. None of us are at our best right now.

RESTAURANT NEWSBREAK OUT THE TAKEOUT

Since indoor dining is off the table for the next month or so—outdoor seating is allowed for those restaurants who have it available—the best way to ensure your favorite eatery, coffeehouse or bar is still around for you to be able to darken their door again is to partake in plentiful takeout. You’re tired of cooking. Treat yourself.

GOING ON HIATUSNot all restaurants

are equipped for takeout, while others have made the calculation that taking the next four weeks off is their best bet. Bars and eateries such as Colophon Cafe, Uisce Irish Pub, the Racket, and others have opted to close until indoor eating and

drinking resumes, while others will shutter briefly to expand outdoor areas or retool takeout programs. Stay tuned.

FEED THE FOOD BANKViking Food had already planned their

November fundraiser when the indoor-dining ban was announced, but now it’s more timely than ever. From now until Nov. 22, the local delivery service will donate a dollar from every order to the Bellingham Food Bank. Even more reason to help yourself to takeout from the comfort of your couch.

PIES FROM PEPSIf ever there were

a Thanksgiving when eating your feelings was not only appropriate but also probably mandatory, it’s this one. To help you out, Pepper Sisters has joined the roster of restaurants slinging whole pies, with all the pie proceeds going toward the Lummi Nation’s Lhaq’temish Foundation. A homemade apple or pumpkin pie can be had for $23, and no one will judge if you order both and eat pie for dinner.

SHUTDOWN 2.0HERE WE GO

If you’ve been paying attention to soaring COVID-19 case counts, you were likely not surprised when Gov. Jay Inslee again rolled out restrictions on social gatherings and business operations. In-store retail and grocery stores are limited to 25 percent occupancy, restaurants can no longer offer indoor seating, and some businesses—such as movie theaters, bowling alleys, gyms and fitness centers—will close until Dec. 14, or until the curve is flattened sufficiently.

though Biden won the popular vote by over five million votes, he was only 68,000 votes from losing the Electoral College.

On top of this, there seems to be little limit to Republicans’ sleaziness in their machinations to get and keep power—the lies, the conspiracy theories, the Russian help, the dirty tricks, the voter suppression, the packing of the courts, the protestors intimidating poll workers, the selling out to big business in exchange for large donations, the installing of dummy third candidates into races to take votes from Democrats, and the salting of the field now to ruin the economy and country before Biden takes over.

Gallup says 49 percent of the people are Democrats or lean Democratic, while the figure for Republicans is 45 percent. Yet Republicans control 29 state legislatures and Dems control 19. The Supreme Court is two-thirds conservative.

We are a majority Democratic country being governed by minority Republicans. We need to fix this.

—Robin Stevens, Bellingham

A SHAMEFUL PROPOSALI find Sen. Doug Ericksen’s proposal

(Free and Fair Elections Act of 2021) to return the state of Washington to polling stations a shameful move. Mail-in voting allows voters to take their time in learning about candidates, vote when it is easy and convenient for them, not have to stand in long lines, and not have to take time off work to exercise their fundamental duty in a democracy.

In the five states that have used exclusively mail-in voting for some time, there have been no substantiated examples of voter fraud. It is statistically more likely for a voter to get struck by lightning than to commit mail voting fraud, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

On the other hand, it has been made painfully clear that polling stations have remained tools in a continuously aggressive effort by some in the Republican Party to disenfranchise voters.

Whether that is making ID requirements more and more difficult, reducing polling stations, reducing/eliminating early voting options, or eliminating same-day registration options, some in the party you are affiliated with have been reckless in implementing these barriers to voting.

In the 2020 general election Washington state had almost 85 percent voter turnout. The nation is looking at the largest turnout in a century at almost 67 percent of eligible voters casting ballots in 2020. This is fantastic news for our democracy.

Shame on Ericksen for wanting to push us backward when there is no substantial evidence of mail voting fraud in Washington. His decision to yet again associate himself with scare tactics and mistruths is not surprising, but it is enraging.

No matter what our beliefs, surely we

can agree on the need for access to the ballot box. I suggest that instead of spending energy trying to return us to a voting system that makes it more difficult for us to vote, Ericksen should begin to recognize the need to appeal to a broader range of people. The people of color, the immigrants, the women, the working class, the LGBTQ community and the progressive thinkers aren’t going anywhere.

We the people are becoming more diverse, and we are tired of antics that try and suppress our voices.

Our own Secretary of State, Kim Wyman, a Republican who won reelection, supports mail-in voting.

—Jennifer Weeks, Bellingham

OPPOSITION WITHOUT ALTERNATIVES

The Democratic Party’s attempts to address the climate crisis are being attacked by Republicans without offering any alternative solution. This is the same as Republican attacks on the Affordable Care Act without offering any alternative or their saying not to worry about the COVID-19 pandemic, it will go away. Ignoring problems only allows the problems to get worse and more costly to address.

The buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is changing the climate, warming the oceans, causing more severe heat waves, droughts, forest fires and catastrophic storms. Action is needed now to stabilize and then reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being dumped into our atmosphere. The intensified severity of the fire season brought on by the carbon dioxide induced volatile climate increases the damage and costs of forest fires and rebuilding afterward. A cap-and-trade policy or a carbon dioxide pollution fee allows those who need or want to continue dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to pay an added cost that reflects the costs caused by their dumping.

Who should bear this rising cost? Those who use the atmosphere as a dump or the general taxpayer?

Right now, it’s the taxpayers that are paying the cost. It is only fair that those who pollute pay.

This small cost is a simple, market-based approach and stimulates innovation and jobs, finding ways to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. The alternative preferred by Republicans is to hide our heads in the sand.

TUESDAYThe Trump administration is asking oil

and gas firms to pick spots where they want to drill in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as it races to open the pris-tine wilderness to development and lock in

drilling rights before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. The “call for nomina-tions” allows companies to identify tracts on which to bid during an upcoming lease sale on the refuge’s nearly 1.6 million-acre coastal plain, a sale that the Interior De-partment aims to hold before Biden takes the oath of office in January. The move would be a capstone of President Trump’s efforts to open up public lands to logging, mining and grazing, which Biden opposes. [Washington Post]

A federal judge in New York invalidated Trump administration rules narrowing the program that protects immigrants living in the United States since childhood with-out legal permission, ruling the restrictions were improperly issued. The ruling restores the program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, to near-full operation, after multiple attempts by the Trump administration to end or curtail it. The judge ruled the restriction was improp-erly issued because the chief of Homeland Security hadn’t been properly appointed to his acting position. [Wall Street Journal]

A federal judge in California blocks a Trump Administration rule that opponents said would have harmed the bargaining rights of several hundred thousand health care work-ers across the nation. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services rule changing Medicaid state payment requirements would have made it tougher for states to deduct em-ployee benefits and union dues from workers’ paychecks. [Los Angeles Times]

11.13.20

FRIDAYHealth officials report 2,147 additional COVID-19 cases and 12 deaths in

Washington, setting a new record for daily reported cases in a trend officials described as alarming. The most recent update brings the state’s reported to-tals to 125,498 cases and 2,519 deaths, according to the state Department of Health. Washington state’s previous high was set last week with nearly 1,700 COVID-19 cases in a single day. [WSDOH]

Gov. Jay Inslee issues a travel advisory for Washington, recommending a 14-day quarantine for interstate and international travel and asks residents to stay close to home. Inslee joined California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Oregon Gov. Kate Brown in urging visitors entering their states or returning home from travel outside these states to self-quarantine to slow the spread of the virus. [Office of Governor]

“This spike puts us in a more dangerous a position as we were in March,” Inslee said during a press conference on Sunday. “And it means, unfortunate-ly, the time has come to reinstate restrictions on activities statewide to preserve the public’s well-being, and to save lives.” [Office of Governor]

State Sen. Doug Ericksen is preparing legislation to return Washington state to in-person voting, require voter ID at the polls and invalidate most absentee ballots that arrive by mail after Election Day. Ericksen, a Ferndale Republi-can, claimed without providing evidence or citing specifics that there are “long-standing concerns” about election security. Washington’s Secretary of State who oversees state elections, also a Republican, disagrees there are concerns with the state’s election security. [Bellingham Herald]

MONDAYAfter years of investigations, contempt of court citations and bankruptcy fil-

ings, Tim Eyman stands trial in a case that could bring an end to his decades of leading anti-tax initiatives in Washington. Eyman is accused of laundering political donations to enrich himself, accepting kickbacks from a signature-gath-ering firm and a yearslong refusal to comply with campaign finance laws. The state’s Attorney General, whose 2017 lawsuit against Eyman precipitated the civil trial, seeks millions of dollars in damages and he hopes to permanently

MOONSTRUCKOn Oct. 31, Anacortes Police learned an intoxicated man had walked away from his friends when the group went outside to look at the full moon. The friends told po-lice that when their friend started acting out, possibly due to his level of intoxica-tion, they distanced themselves from him, but were now concerned for his and oth-ers’ safety. Approximately 20 minutes later, an officer contacted the 20-year-old, who was slurring and repeating his words and smelled of alcohol. The man agreed to go home with his friends, and will receive a citation in the mail for minor in possession.

On Oct. 31, Blaine Police investigated a suspicious circumstance of someone hearing rocks land on their roof. Officers checked the area and did not locate any-one nearby.

On Oct. 31, Blaine Police responded to a report of shots being fired. “It was determined to be fireworks in Canada,” police noted.

CULINARY CRIMESOn Oct. 24, a young woman refused to leave an Anacortes restaurant and tried to access the kitchen several times. Staff called police for help to move her along. An officer spoke with the woman brief-ly about her behavior, and was going to leave, but then observed the woman enter another nearby business. Concerned that she might continue her erratic behavior, the officer followed the woman into the business. The woman did not seem inter-ested in leaving, even after staff and po-lice requested that she move along. When officers told her she was under arrest for trespassing, she became physically com-bative and struck an officer in the chin with her fist and attempted to break frames hanging on the wall. The 18-year-old Friday Harbor woman was ultimately booked into jail for trespassing, resisting arrest, malicious mischief and assault.

On Nov. 2, a woman told Blaine Police an unknown man came out of a wooded area and walked up to her to give her a pie. The man proceeded to follow her toward her house until her husband came out. The un-known man quickly left the area. The U.S. Border Patrol found the person and stayed with him until the police arrived. The po-lice determined no crime was committed, but asked the person to not return. The person packed up his campsite and later requested a courtesy ride to the Mission.

On Nov. 13, a dissatisfied customer threw a burrito at the employee of a Mexican restaurant in north Bellingham.

On Nov. 8, a man in a blue bandana and blonde wig robbed the Cruisin’ Coffee on Lakeway Drive. He walked up and after or-dering, robbed the business and fled on foot, Bellingham Police reported.

NOT NEIGHBORLYOn Nov. 1, a woman called Blaine Police to complain about an incident that oc-curred the prior day while she was walk-ing her dog. A neighbor sped up to her and stopped abruptly, she said. The man then got out of his truck and started yell-ing at the woman. Based upon the wom-an’s description of events, no crime is be-lieved to have occurred, police reported. The officer suggested the woman pursue a protection order against the man.

On Nov. 3, a Blaine business reported a person came into their business and began bothering customers by touching them and asking for a ride. The manage-ment requested the person be trespassed from the business. The police located the man and issued him a notice of trespass. The man left the area without incident and with a copy of the trespass notice.

On Nov. 6, police made contact with a transient who had set up camp in one of the buildings on the Lynden Fairgrounds. As the officers were speaking with him, the man punched one of the officers. An altercation then ensued, during which five Lynden Police officers were assault-ed, bitten or kicked. The man was arrest-ed and charged with multiple counts of assault. The officers are all expected to recover from their injuries.

GRIFT THAT KEEPS GIVINGOn Nov. 13, a 57-year-old Snohomish County insurance agent was charged in U.S. District Court in Seattle with five counts of wire fraud for her theft of ap-proximately $750,000 in premium pay-ments from various insurance clients. She is also charged with providing fake certif-icates of insurance to some of those com-panies. According to records filed in the case, the agent defrauded various clients in high-risk insurance fields. She founded InsuranceTek, Inc., in 2003 and special-ized in assisting small businesses that work in high-risk fields in securing insur-ance policies to cover their business oper-ations. She would find companies willing to insure the companies, and if necessary, find a company to finance the premium payments. The insurance premiums repre-sented tens of thousands of dollars. The agent plead guilty to using the money for personal expenses, including spending a great deal of money at a casino.
