Wildfires ... From page 1
According to the Northwest Clean Air Agency, the air quality is likely to remain poor until Thursday or Friday, when the forecast calls for a shift in wind direction. Many of the fires in B.C. remain serious, but those affecting Whatcom County have mostly been contained. Firefighters battled four fires across the county last weekend: one on Stewart Mountain, another on Portage Island, a third northwest of Sudden Valley and a small fire near Paradise Valley Road. The Stewart Mountain fire is of the most concern to firefighters. The blaze began midday on July 5 and grew from about 5 to 20 acres overnight. As of July 8, the fire had spread to 32 acres. The fire is mostly contained and is being mopped up by firefighters, according to Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) spokesman Chris Hankey. The Stewart Mountain fire is entirely on state-managed lands. On July 5, the DNR dispatched crews, helicopters and
bulldozers to fight the fire. Hand crews worked through the night to establish a fire line. The nearest home is 1 mile away from the blaze, and no evacuations are expected. The other county fires are contained, according to Hankey. The 8-acre Portage Island fire started on July 4. Approximately 50 campers were evacuated from the island until DNR crews could contain the fire. On July 6, the fire was 100 percent contained and crews have begun cleaning up the site. The third fire, near North Shore Road and Agate Bay Lane northwest of Sudden Valley near Lake Whatcom, grew to about 4 acres before it was contained. Crews from North Whatcom Fire and Rescue, Fire District 7 and the South Whatcom Fire Authority responded to the scene to contain the fire and keep it from spreading to nearby homes. No one was evacuated. The fire on Paradise Valley Road near South Pass Road was called in late Sunday night and was contained. The blaze spread over approximately 1 acre. The causes of the fires are still under investigation.
City encourages less water use during heat wave Due to record heat and high water usage, the city of Blaine is encouraging all local citizens to ration their water use until current conditions moderate. According to the city’s department of public works, the city is experiencing record-breaking water use. The typical range is between 2 to 2.4 million gallons per day. Water usage so far this summer has been much higher. On June 28, the city reported a daily high of 3.7 million gallons. The public works department is urging citizens to cut back on water use so the water flow for fire hydrants will not be affected. Voluntary watering schedules have been
in place since June. The schedule restricts watering for houses with even-numbered street addresses to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and those with odd-numbered addresses to Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. There is no watering on Mondays. The city has begun sending out notices to customer who have been using more than their standard allotment of water. Birch Bay Water and Sewer District, Blaine’s largest wholesale customer, is also sending out notices to its customers. For more information visit ci.blaine.wa.us.
PeaceHealth and union agree on contract By Steve Guntli After months of contentious union negotiations that led to a strike in late May, PeaceHealth medical group has reached a contract agreement with its union employees. PeaceHealth, which oversees St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham, agreed to raise employee wages 6 percent by fall 2016. The contact is the first between PeaceHealth and SEIU Healthcare 1199NW. PeaceHealth agreed to a 3 percent wage increase at the time of the contract signing, plus another 3 percent by September 2016. Workers will also receive a signing bonus of $1,000 for full-time employees, $500 for part-time and $200 for per diem. Workers will also get premium increases for evening, weekend and training shifts, and a wage scale will be put in place to compensate workers based on years of service. Workers joined the union, which represents approximately 900 PeaceHealth employees, in 2013. Union leaders and PeaceHealth management have been trying to agree on a contract for more
than 18 months. On May 13, PeaceHealth workers staged a one-day walkout, citing understaffing and insufficient compensation and benefits. Workers were kept away from their jobs for several days, as the hospital had entered into mandatory three-day contracts with temporary workers to cover the strike. Kari Revelstoke, a lab assistant with PeaceHealth and one of the union’s designated spokespeople, said she was happy about the contract. “We’re all very excited and very happy,” she said. “Management really came forward with the wage increases we wanted. It’s a great start and a great opportunity to build a framework for the future.” Revelstoke said the management wasn’t willing to budge on the union’s requests for better benefits. “That was a little disappointing,” she said. “But it’s high on our priority list for our next contract negotiation, and in the meantime management has offered to sit down with employees to hear suggestions and try to get some new programs up and running. It’s a start.” The contract agreement expires on August 31, 2017.
