Voters to decide on Medic One levy BY ROB MORRELL The Western Front When Whatcom County voters head to the polls Nov. 4, one of the important decisions they will make will be whether to support the emergency medical service levy. If passed, the levy would secure six years of funding for Whatcom Medic One, a county-wide emergency response program, and provide money for activating a fifth ambulance. If the levy fails, the Bellingham City Council will be forced to fund the program through general funds. "If the levy doesn't pass, we will.have to cut more city jobs," Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson said. The levy would impose a property tax of 38.5 cents on every $1,000 of assessed property value. The owner of a $175,000 home would see his or her annual property taxes increase by $67.37. The levy is projected to generate $5.4 million for the county in the first year, according to figures from Marvin Wayne, director of Emergency Medical Services for Bellingham and Whatcom County. At an Oct. 1 public forum, Bellingham resident and Committee of Public Safety member Nick Kaiser argued that the levy was unnecessary and Medic One was over-funded and inefficient.

Ferndale High School football player Josh Richard said he may have had a concussion before he suffered a serious head injury in a game Sept. 26. He underwent emergency surgery that night to remove a blood clot, said Tim Richard, his father and Ferndale's assistant football coach. "I thought I might have had a small concussion," said Richard, a 6-foot-l-inch, 190 pound tight end and outside linebacker. "I don't know if it transferred (to the Sept. 26 game)." His father confirmed that his son had a. headache that would not go away. During a game one week earlier, Richard was injured on a play. Tim Richard said his son had a large bruise on his leg after that game. "The thing we were worried about was his leg," Tim Richard said. "He was working with the trainer daily." Richard said he had a headache the morning following the Sept. 19 game against Heritage High School. He took Tylenol and mentioned the pain to his father and the team's trainer, he said. "He had no other signs of a concussion," Tim Richard said. "If we would have thought he had a concussion, he wouldn't have played. We definitely sit those kids out and make sure they have a doctor's approval to play." Andrew Goss, Ferndale High School's head athletic trainer, said he evaluated Richard for a concussion the Monday after the game when Richard mentioned he had a headache. He saw no other signs of a concussion, Goss said. SEE Injured, PAGE 3 Viking fans support losing cause in Seattle. Sports, Page 11 Woodring College undergoes restructuring.
