Western senior and
experienced climber Brett
Bartmasser was ice climbing
on Mt. Baker Oct. 20 when he
slid and fell into a crevasse.
After approximately 19 hours
in the crevasse and a helicopter
rescue, Bartmasser is recovering
from his injuries at Harborview
Medical Center in Seattle.
Bartmasser and his
climbing partner, Western
senior Bradford Cabot, also
an experienced climber, were
climbing at 5,300 feet on the
Coleman Glacier Friday around
4 p.m. when Bartmassser
slipped and fell 50 feet into a
crevasse.
"He's extremely lucky,"
said Debbie Bartmasser, his
mother.
She said Bartmasser has a
broken femur, But is in otherwise
good condition with no internal
injuries. He had surgery on
Sunday to put a metal plate
and rod in his hipbone. He is
expected to be in the hospital
-for five to seven days and on
crutches for approximately
three months.
Cabot was extremely
instrumental in Bartmasser's
rescue, Debbie Bartmasser said.
After Bartmasser's fall,
Cabot said he rappelled into the
crevasse.
"I got to him and stabilized
him as best I could and got him
in a safe, comfortable place
down there," Cabot said.
Cabot said he climbed out
of the crevasse and drove to the
//, He spent about
six to seven hours
alone down in the
crevasse while I
went to get help"

miles away, where he had cell

Campus may get community car
Emily McMahon
THE WESTERN FRONT
Community Car Share, a Bellingham
nonprofit organization, is growing. Soon
it will add a second vehicle to its program.
There have also been talks of eventually
getting a parking spot for the car share on
Western's campus.
"We just have one car right now. It's a
2004 Toyota Prius, a hybrid car and we are
shopping for the second car," said Lorraine
Wilde, Community Car Share's general
manager and an environmental science
professor at Western.
The car share hopes to have its second
car in circulation by the end of November.
"Our second car is going to be biodiesel,"
Wilde said. "Biodiesel costs the same or less
than gasoline. It gets better mileage and it's
almost zero percent C02 emissions; it's a
way better choice overall."
Community Car Share has 12 members
and one business with six drivers. Wilde
said her goal in starting the car share was
to make people look at their lives and think
about how they can change it and help the
environment at the same time.
"We hope to get families down to
one vehicle instead of two," said Karen
Hendriksen, a board member at Community
Car Share and conference coordinator at
Western.
Members reserve the car online and pick
it up at a parking spot downtown near the
bus depot. Members pay a one-time sign-up
fee of $35, a $250 refundable deposit and pay
