The NCAA handed down eight-game suspensions to Western senior forward Nehemiah Campbell and Western junior point guard Jason Burrell and a three-game suspension to Western sophomore forward Maurice Tyree last week. The exact violations are undisclosed. "My understanding of the situation is they violated the extra benefit rule, which means they were able to obtain more books than they needed," head coach Brad Jackson said. According to the 2002-2003 NCAA Division II manual, student athletes who buy their textbooks with scholarship funds may not receive extra benefits for themselves, a friend, or a relative unless authorized by NCAA legislation. The suspensions mark the first time Western athletes have been penalized by the NCAA since the university joined the organization five years ago. "We've certainly been affected by it," Jackson said. "Any time you take away your starting point guard, a great forward like Tyree and an inspirational player like. Campbell, it's definitely going to have an impact."

Kapp said business is usually slower in November than most months, but the last couple of days have been crazy. Every Other Weekly temporarily out of business BY JEANNA BARRETT Washington might have the second-worst economy in the nation, but Bellingham is showing signs of improvement. Within the last, year, the nation's recession has caused a drop in consumer spending and a shortage in jobs. While other Washington cities' economies are low, Bellingham is experiencing an expansion in business, said Mike Brennan, president of the Bellingham/Whatcom County Chamber of Commerce. Bellingham residents can expect to see either a stable economy or a slight increase in economic activity in the months to come, he said. "Normally Bellingham lags far behind other cities when coming out of a recession," Brennan said. "This is one of the few times Whatcom County is leading the state out of economic despair." Bellingham is one of the small number of cities leading the state in retail sales. See ECONOMY, Page 4 BY BRANDON ROSAGE Local alternative magazine the Every Other Weekly will print its final issue Wednesday following a decision by its board of directors to suspend and restructure the publication. The board decided to halt production of the magazine because of slumping advertising revenue and its inability to fund an upgrade to weekly printing, editor Tim Johnson said. "Our issue is that we need to take advantage of some of the operating efficiencies that come from being a weekly,". Johnson said. "I believe there's a market for a paper like ours." Johnson said his business could generate more advertising revenue "and cover more timely stories if it was published weekly. Greg Kise, director of marketing for the Every Other Weekly, said the publication has lost advertising revenue because it is printed every two weeks rather than weekly. "If somebody wants to do timely advertising, for example, a sale, it's very difficult for them to do an advertising campaign with us," Kise said. "I think that's been detrimental to our business." Kise said the publication also lost advertisers because of its young readership. He said the Mt. Baker Theatre, which scheduled fewer events for younger audiences this year, has stopped advertising in the Every Other Weekly because the publication does not reach its older target audience. Johnson said he will spend the next two months creating a larger budget and restructuring operations to allow for weekly publication by February. He said he is considering three different locations to move the business' headquarters that are within one block from its current downtown location on Cornwall Avenue. Johnson said he will announce a new name for the publication in late December. "We're well on our way to having the capital to do this," Johnson said. "We're about 75 percent there. We're trying to sunset this paper and be back on the scene in February." See WEEKLY, Page 4 Salmon migration in Whatcom Creek might exceed last year's record Colin McDonald/The Western Front Fishermen gather at Maritime Heritage Park to catch chum in one of the biggest salmon runs in the creek s history. BY COLIN MCDONALD For Paul Zoller, fishing at Maritime Heritage Park in downtown Bellingham is an annual tradition. This weekend he and his son Kalani drove up from Marysville and found just what they were looking for — several thousand salmon, sunny weather and barely enough room between fishermen to cast a line. "We love to fish here," Zoller said. "We're just catching and releasing and having a good time." . Because of last week's rain, salmon have enough water for their migration, said Jon-Paul Sharinahan, a field technician for the City of Bellingham who is doing the fish count for Whatcom Creek. "It's a great time to get outdoors and take a look," Shannahan said. "The salmon are running all over the county." Earl Steele, who runs the Whatcom Creek Fish Hatchery for Bellingham Technical College, said he and his students are processing between 1,000 and 2,000 fish per day. This year's run could match or exceed last year's record of 27,500 fish. The hatchery has already processed 16,000 fish. After collecting the eggs and sperm, the salmon are sent to SeaSharfr, a non profit organization that processes and packages the fish for local and state food banks. "We have a fish tube set up by the park so people can catch the fish and then send them straight to the fish hatchery," Steele said. "That way people can help us, the salmon and the hungry." Steele warns fishermen that it is illegal to keep a fish if the hook catches anywhere other than " the its mouth. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Bellingham Police Department will issue $89 fines for any illegally caught fish. Despite the crowds and regulations, Zoller and his son plan on coming back next year. "There is nothing like this anywhere else," Zoller said.
