ISSUE 3 VOLUME 133 HE WESTERN FRONT Y, APRIL 8, 2005 • WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY • BELLINGHAM, WASH. • WESTERNFRONTONLINE.COM Neighborhood requires service for citations Port to charge for moorage CHRIS HUBER/The Western Front Ryan Hashagan, a Western junior and Harris Bay resident, spends some time rowing his "skiff" past neighbors on the bay Thursday. The Bellingham Port Comission will evict residents of Harris Bay if they do not comply with new moorage regulations. BY MICHAEL LEE The Western Front For more than one hundred years Harris Bay has been a place where a tight-knit community of sailors and captains have anchored their boats down free of charge, said Lance Amann, a 23-year native of the Fairhaven district and Harris Bay. The Port of Bellingham commission held a public meeting Tuesday to discuss how the port authorities want to change that. In February, Mike Dodd, the manager of marine services for the port, sent letters that contained an ultimatum to the registered vessel owners anchoring in the bay — they must either use the linear mooring system that floats upon the bay or get out. The port will impound any boats that are not gone by the current eviction date of May 1, Dodd said in the letter. see FAIRHAVEN, page 4 BY KATIE ROTHENBERGER The Western Front Partying residents of the York neighborhood could soon be tangled up with more consequences for minor-in-possession and disorderly conduct citations. This spring, a pilot project will come into effect with the Office of the City Attorney, The Western-Campus Community Coalition and the York Neighborhood Association collaborating to penalize York neighborhood residents who receive a MIP or a disorderly conduct charge in the neighborhood off Lakeway. The trial period of the program will begin in the spring and end in June. This penalty only applies to residents of the York neighborhood, and the community service recipient can decide their project from a list of options. Attending the neighborhood association meetings is mandatory for the offenders. The program will require offenders to repay the neighborhood with community service such as cleaning around the neighborhood and attending at least one neighborhood meeting. "Theprogram is notineffectyet," city prosecuting attorney Steve Kirkelie said. "It is still something we are working on, and I hope to implement it soon. We hope to get it up and running this spring." The activities included in the community service are neighborhood park maintenance, weeding see YORK, page 3 Discussion promotes common ground on abortion BY LAUREN ALLAIN The Western Front The goal was to get people who may not agree with each other in the same room looking eye-to-eye and respecting what the other side had to say, said Jesse Moore, Western senior and Associated Student vice president for diversity, in his introduction of Marilyn Cohen and Karen Swallow Prior. The two came together in an Associated Students-sponsored forum Thursday to discuss the issue of abortion through a group calledCommonGround. The group specializes in presenting forums that find issues members can agree on regarding reproductive rights and abortion, Moore said. The two began the discourse by explaining the goals of Common Ground. "We live in a culture and a society that we are trained in every way to debate," said Prior, an associate professor of English at Liberty College in Lynchberg, Va. "Even when we are listening and having conversations with people, we are usually not listening to what they say, but we're thinking about what we're going to say next. And Common Ground is the opposite of all of that." Cohen, who said she takes a pro-choice stance, is the former director of the Emma Goldman Clinic for Women, the first outpatient abortion clinic in Iowa City, Iowa. She said Common Ground works similar to a Venn diagram. In this analogy she is a pro-choice circle and Prior is the pro-life circle. Finding the common ground where the two overlap is the purpose of the group's discussions, Cohen said. The two have been working with one another since 1998, when they published a paper together titled "Common Ground on Abortion Clinic Activism," which included every issue on which they have reached an agreement. The issues in the paper include ideas about services for women such as reducing the rate of unplanned and unwanted pregnancies, fostering the see WOMEN, page 4 Forum addresses Palestinian conflict BY SARAH KUCK The Western Front Despondent images of children dreaming of happiness, laborers searching for work and women standing at military checkpoints illuminated the screen behind Ellen 0'Grady as she read about her experiences in occupied Palestine. 0'Grady's compilation of her stories and paintings captivated the audience during Fairhaven College's World Issues Forum Wednesday. 0' Grady, an artist, author and social justice activist from Durham, N.C., presented her new book, "Outside the Ark: An Artist's Journey in Occupied Palestine," at the Fairhaven College auditorium.
