Dana was one of nearly 700 protesters to march Saturday from Westlake Center to Capitol Hill protesting U.S. foreign policy with Israel. Approximately 12 Western students from the Western Antiwar Movement attended the march in Seattle. Students protest war in Seattle By Bobbie Egan THE WESTERN FRONT Western students joined approximately 700 activists on Saturday, marching through downtown Seattle in opposition to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Protesters transformed two miles of city streets into a sea of red, green, black and white Palestinian flags. What began as a peaceful protest turned tense when police charged a crowd of protesters early Saturday evening. The protesters were blocking the intersection of Broadway and East Thomas streets. Seattle police used their bicycles to push demonstrators off roads and onto the sidewalk. Western graduate student Jean Fallow was one of 15 people from the Western Antiwar Movement to attend the rally. Fallow organized WAM last fall in response to the U.S. proposal to bomb Afghanistan. Fallow said the "Reclaim the Street" rally, held after the march ended, started festive and peaceful. "Then, all of the sudden, 20 bicycle police zoomed around the corner and charged right through a banner, into the crowd," Fallow said. "They couldn't see who was on the other side of the banner. Their intent was to ride into people. It was shocking." According to the Seattle Post- Intelligencer, police made 19 arrests throughout the day. All arrests were misdemeanors for pedestrian interference, property damage or obstructing justice. All protesters were released on Monday. Seattle police reported no injuries during the rally. Fallow said she saw police tackle three men in front of her, See PROTEST, Page 4 Locals dance to save Blanchard Mountain By Sarah Loehndorf THE WESTERN FRONT tAMH A six-foot turquoise dancing salmon and a crowd of several hundred gathered Friday at the Majestic to raise money to save salmon at the annual Jammin' for Salmon festival. The crowd listened as Dana Lyons, a local singer, announced that the Senate ruled against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He praised the decision, which he said was due largely to the people in Bellingham who petitioned the government and fought to save the Arctic from being drilled. "We saved the Arctic wilderness," Dana Lyons said. "We stopped the Bush administration and we can stop them in other things." For the past four years, the Bellingham-based environmental organization called the Northwest Ecosystem Alliance has sponsored Jammin' for Salmon to help raise money for local campaigns. Proceeds from this year's Jammin' for Salmon went to the Blanchard Mountain Campaign, which will fund a study NWEA is conducting on the value of Blanchard Mountain. "We do forest conservation work and salmon live in the forest," said Chris Dillard, conservation associate at NWEA. "We view our work as benefiting salmon." Photo courtesy of Michael Lemmon The Barbed Wire Cutters perform for concerned residents who attended Friday's Jammin' for Salmon at the Majestic. Blanchard Mountain has become a heated topic of local discussion lately because its' old growth forests are in danger of being logged for the valuable timber. The mountain is a popular See SALMON, Page 4 Court orders teen held in murder case By Leanne Josephson THE WESTERN FRONT A Bellingham High School sophomore was ordered held without bail Monday in connection with the murder of an 8- year-old boy. Authorities said Ryan E. Alexander is being held for investigation in the kidnapping and aggravated first-degree murder of Michael Busby Jr., a second-grader whose -body was found Friday near the Pacific Concrete Industries plant. Alexander, 16, told Bellingham police detectives he ordered Busby to remove his shirt, then bound his hands, feet and mouth with duct tape and strangled him by pressing a stick against his neck while he was lying on the ground. Alexander said he harmed Busby, his Jaeger Street neighbor, because the boy was "bugging him." He said he wanted to "get even with Michael." Alexander said he used a razor blade to make the deep cuts found on the back of Busby's legs and on the front of See MURDER, Page 4 Local activists support new veggie burger By Derek Sheppard and Mike Baab THE WESTERN FRONT Local members of an animal rights group held signs that convinced Bellingham resident Jim McLaughlin to step into Burger King for the first time since Gerald Ford was president. On Monday, McLaughlin saw the demonstrators from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals on the corner of Samish Way and Bill MacDonald Parkway holding signs promoting Burger King's vegetarian option, the BK Veggie. "I saw the sign and said, 'God, I gotta support these people,'" he said. Western graduate student and PETA demonstrator Dayna Mooney said she does not condone all the actions of the Burger King corporation, but she is happy that a fast-food chain is offering a vegetarian alternative.
