THE WESTERN F R O N TS WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY An independent student newspaper serving the campus community since 1970. ISSUE 13, VOLUME 136 Stuart's survives Favorite coffee house finds new home BY JUSTIN MORROW The Western Front Exactly one year after Stuart's Coffee House closed when it lost its lease on Bay Street, owners Maria Koplowitz-Fleming and Garry Fleming will sign a lease Sunday, to open Stuart's At The Market in the Bellingham Public Market. "On the last day at the old location, we had a big blow-out and it was kind of like a wake for Stuart's," he said. "We thought this was a good way to show we're back and to remember that date." Both owners will host a lease-signing parry from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday to celebrate the new market location at the Bellingham Public Market, which is located on the corner of Cornwall Avenue and York Street. Bellingham storyteller Doug Banner will perform Stuart's crowd favorites, including bis rendition of the fairy tale "Iron John." He performed at Stuart's for eight years, Fleming said. Stuart's At The Market will offer free wireless Internet, easy chairs, couches and board games to encourage patrons to relax at the coffee house, she said. see LEASE, page 4 CHRIS HUBER / THE WESTERN FRONT Garry Fleming, owner of Stuart's Coffee House, said Stuart's will be open for business at its new location at the Public MarĀket on York and Cornwall streets within the next two months. CHRIS HUBER/THE WESTERN FRONT The Bellingham Bay Foundation presented a proposal to the waterfront advisory group Feb. 15 to fill in the lagoon at the former Georgia-Pacific site as part of the waterfront development plan to incorporate park space. The dilapiĀdated Georgia-Pacific site sits behind the lagoon (foreground), as seen from the Hotel Bellwether lighthouse. Lagoon at stake in bay plans BYDANGROHL The Western Front As soon as the Bellingham Bay Foundation proposed its plan for the Bellingham Bay - waterfront to the waterfront advisory group on Feb. 15, the group all but dismissed the proposal, foundation executive director James Johnston said. The foundation's plan for the waterfront was dramatically different in key areas than the Port of Bellingham's plans, Johnston said. The key difference in the foundation's plan was its use of the 30-acre lagoon mat treated the wastewater run-off from Georgia-Pacific's pulp plant when the plant was in operation, said foundation president Mitch Friedman. The Port of Bellingham commissioned the LMN Architects of Seattle to design plans for the waterfront, which use the lagoon as a public marina, said David Syre, CEO of Bellingham's Trillium Corporation. Trillium Corporation and Design Workshop of Denver developed the foundation's plan. The foundation's proposed plan involved filling the lagoon with dirt and sediment, creating a 30-acre park. A marina in the lagoon would not be cost-effective because taxpayers would pay for a marina that LMN designed for luxury yachts, he said. A park would serve everybody in the community, rather than just those who can afford boats, Johnston said. Filling the lagoon to create a park could challenge environmental regulations, said Mike Stoner, Port of Bellingham environmental director. A permit to fill aquatic land would be difficult to obtain unless the project provides general improvements to the shoreline. The foundation's plan could increase the see WATERFRONT, page 4 Downtown drivers share community cars BY HEIDI SCHILLER The Western Front This spring, Community Car Share of Bellingham, a nonprofit organization, will begin providing a service allowing members to reserve and use cars parked in downtown Bellingham in an effort to reduce traffic and auto emissions. Car share programs exist in many large cities in the United States, including Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago, and U.S. Transportation Board studies show they reduce traffic congestion and auto emissions, said Lorraine Wilde, general manager and co-chair of the organization. "We believe people should only use a car when they need it," she said. "This will help people who have strong environmental values to live those values." Wilde said she doesn't know yet what the cost of membership will be, but expects it will be less expensive than owning a car, she said. She said she won't know the cost until she purchases the cars, but it will include an annual membership fee in addition to an hourly and per-mile fee. Ideally, the program will have enough cars so that anyone can reserve one whenever and for however long needed. Wilde said she modeled the car share program after the company Flexcar which began in Seattle in 1999 and spread to 6 cities nationwide, including Portland and Los Angeles. In Seattle, Flexcar owns and operates 150 cars used by 150,000 Seattle residents, Flexcar spokesman John Williams said. Flexcar has two payment plans, he said. One charges a flat rate of $9 per hour and the other see PROGRAM, page 4 LIFEATNIGHTLIGHT Photo essay of multiple bands that performed at the Nightlight Lounge this month.
