Friends honor late bar owner BY ERIK PETERSON The Western Front At the 3B Tavern Tuesday nigh, teary eyes, warm embraces and an outpouring of support displayed the celebration of Reece Degolier's life. Degolier, 30, owned The Factory, a popular Bellingham bar and music venue. An employee found his body at the bar Saturday evening when he opened The Factory. Bellingham Police Lt. Craige Ambrose said the cause of death was undetermined until the medical examiner's office releases a toxicology report, which could take weeks. Degolier is survived by his mother, Carla Brigmantas, and a sister, Tanya Degolier, both residents of Whatcom County. Close friends, co-workers and acquaintances gathered at the 3B in an effort to raise funds for Degolier's funeral. Two of Degolier's favorite bands, The All Nighters and The No-Fi Soul Rebellion, played for the memorial. Degolier booked both bands regularly at The Factory. Logan McQuaig and Joe Myrene, both close friends of Degolier, paid fond tribute .to their friend. Myrene, The Factory's booking agent, quoted a passage from a letter Degolier's mother gave to him. She was unable to attend. "I can't believe there are still people in this world who care about each other so much," she wrote. Before the live music, standing shoulder to shoulder in a packed 3B, the crowd celebrated Degolier's life.

BY STEFANI HARREY The Western Front Groups such as the American Red Cross and Western's Veterans Outreach Center are helping families and friends of soldiers in battle deal with the pain they might feel that goes along with having a loved one leave for service. Cecilia Stevens, Armed Forces Emergency Services coordinator for the American Red Cross, said learning how to deal with all the issues that can arise when a loved one leaves for military service is vital for a soldier's friends and family. Since this is likely the first war many students at Western have had to experience, the effects are widespread, Stevens said. "Many young people now have not had any kind of exposure to war like this before," Stevens said. "Learning the effects and ways to adjust are really important." The support group run by the American Red Cross meets from 10 a.m. to noon Monday mornings at the Mount Baker chapter of the Red Cross on King Street in Bellingham. Stevens oversees the meetings and" organizes speakers, counselors and other activities for the sessions. Stevens said if she received enough feedback from Western students, she would like to run a support group on campus as well. She said she has been communicating with the outreach center on campus see WAR, page 4 County Council halts building on Lake Whatcom BY MICHELLE ACOSTA The Western Front The Whatcom County Council voted 6-1 to pass an ordinance to stop issuing any new building permits or subdivision applications in the Lake Whatcom watershed Wednesday. The moratorium goes into effect 10 days after County Executive Pete Kremen, signs it. The moratorium will leave development at a standstill in the Lake Whatcom watershed and will affect many property owners and builders who planned to construct homes. Councilman Dan. McShane said he wants to support quick action to improve the water quality of the lake. "We need to move forward with this quickly because things aren't looking too good for the lake," McShane said. McShane proposed an emergency moratorium two weeks ago to allow the council more time to find solutions to the pollution in Lake Whatcom. Citizens present at the meeting stood divided, arguing their positions on the moratorium. Councilwomen Laurie Caskey- Schreiber said the list of people scheduled to speak during the meeting was eight pages long. McShane said the moratorium will not affecj||urrently submitted buildingappii*£jtionsorpeoplewho already scheduled appointments.to. turn one in. Landowners with five or more acres also are exempt. He said the moratorium is set to last until May 1, but it can be renewed by the council. During the public hearing, several citizens opposing the moratorium wanted other solutions to fix pollution in the lake, but were unable to present any suggestions. Councilman Sam Crawford was the only council member to vote against the moratorium. McShane and councilwoman Barbara Brenner openly expressed that the public mistrusted the council's motives. "Our trust seems to be tested as council members," McShane said. "But every member has talked about doing things to protect the lake for quite some time." Khalid Galant, public information officer of the Washington State Department of Ecology, said,the department is responsible for maintaining the water quality of Lake Whatcom. "The water is polluted and needs to^be cleaned," Galant said. "That's our biggest concern, and it's up to the county oh.how they want to take care of the issue." Galant said the Department of Ecology conducted a scientific water quality study in November 2004.
