Garden Street to accommodate families in need. Because of the collective efforts of the coalition, Garden Street United Methodist Church and the Whatcom County Opportunity Council, the home welcomes its first family today. The church owns the.property adjacent to its parking lot, which, in former years, was rented out to college students. "Basically, they are letting us use this home," Interfaith Coalition Director Laura DeRose said. "The church is getting less than half rent. It was a big financial commitment for the church." Whatcom County has the second highest wage and income discrepancy in the state, said Jim Cozad, chairman of the Housing Committee. Cozad said he is not surprised at the number of families seeking emergency shelter at any given time. "Of the rental households, more than half now are paying more than one-third of their income for rent," he said. Last year, the Opportunity Council provided 8,053 nights of emergency housing for families, but it also had to turn away 358 families. CHRISTINA TWU/THE WESTERN FRONT Beliingham resident Shirley Engels looks out the window of the bedroom from her childhood home. The home recently was remodeled and will serve as an emergency shelter for homeless families. "By small.leaps and bounds of steps, Interfaith Coalition is offering additional alternative ways to help deal with that," Cozad said. The refurbishing of the house involved six months of planning, DeRose said. The last two months were dedicated to intense cleaning, tearing out old, dirty carpets, repainting, maintenance work, refinishing the floors and replacing bathroom parts, program coordinator Lori Polevoi said. Volunteers transformed the home's dining room into a master bedroom to house the family of six. Forty-six different church congregations and nonprofit organizations, in alliance with Interfaith, donated all furnishings and appliances.- "This house is much nicer than the motels we've used," said Christina Waite, the Opportunity Council case manager who will be working with the first residents.

But on the night of Sept. 22, two customers and a Haggen employee witnessed a woman being grabbed from behind and taken away in a van. When they dialed 911 to report what they had?seen, they did not know the abduction was fake. "Two detectives and a detective seargent were called out to investigate/' Beliingham Police -Lt. Craige Ambrose said. Police cited four Western students and two Beliingham residents with gross misdemeanors for the alleged kidnapping in the Sehome Village parking lot, Ambrose said. After investigating the hoax, police mailed citations to Western sophomores Timothy Tucker, Benjamin Shank and Victoria Shadduck and Beliingham residents Christopher Whiddon and Andrew Nault for obstructing a law enforcement officer and suspicion of criminal conspiracy. Western junior Ellen Rutledge, who was "abducted," received a citation for false reporting and obstructing a police officer because she screamed in a manner that conveyed great alarm while being "abducted," according to a press release. At approximately 11 p.m., the witnesses observed Rutledge screaming as an unidentified man and woman forced her into the back of a van, Ambrose said. Witnesses said the male driving the van yelled at the others, "Hurry up, let's get out of here." The van then sped out of the parking lot, Ambrose said. Police cited the individuals for obstruction because two 911 calls SEE Hoax, PAGE 4 Gov. Locke speaks to scholarship recipients BY IAN ALEXANDER The Western Front Western senior Brie Wentzel, recipient of a Washington Promise Scholarship in 2000 and 2001, said the scholarship money allowed her to focus on her studies. She also said the scholarship reminded her to value her college education. "I don't think I realized how much it helped 'til my junior year," Wentzel said. "It made it so I didn't have to work my freshman year." Gov. Gary LockeA recognized Western's scholarship recipients in a ceremony in the Performing Arts Center on Monday. The Washington Promise Scholarship awarded $6:3 million to more than 7,000 students this year, approximately 700 of whom were Western students. Wentzel said the scholarship encourages her to get up for early morning classes. "A lot of people grumble about class," she said. "I have to remind myself (that) a lot of people can't afford to go to school and be grateful I'm here and not take advantage of it." Gov. Locke discussed his plans to increase employment in Washington state through increased college enrollment. "I believe a college education is part of the American dream," Locke said. "We need to have a program to tell parents and children, 'If you do well, there will be a scholarship waiting for you — that's a promise from the state of Washington.' " The Washington Promise Scholarship began in 1999 and since then, 27,300 students have received scholarships. Students are evaluated based on academic performance and family income.
