FERNDALE - Motorists should expect some delays on Main Street around noon Saturday, May 18, as 150 or more motorcyclists ride through Ferndale to honor a former resident and Vietnam War veteran who died April 24.
John Fassett, a 67-year-old Sandy Point resident, was a motorcycle enthusiast who graduated from Ferndale High School in 1963, joined the U.S. Army and served a tour in Vietnam.
Fassett also worked at the ARCO Cherry Point Refinery for 25 years, served as a volunteer firefighter for Ferndale, and volunteered for Old Settlers Association and Ferndale Heritage Society.

The bridge's steel supports were damaged Dec. 1 when struck by a tractor-trailer carrying a high load.
FERNDALE - Mountain View Elementary School parents, students, staff, alumni and the community can attend a reunion and send-off for the school Friday, May 10, before it closes at the end of this school year.

The district is closing the school this year, after 53 years of serving Ferndale students.
FERNDALE - Traffic will be reduced to one lane on Slater Road Wednesday, April 24, as state and Whatcom County road crews inspect the Nooksack River bridge.

The work is part of a biennial inspection by Whatcom County and the Washington Department of Transportation.
FERNDALE - The city might offer garbage service no more often than once every other week, to encourage recycling and reduce truck traffic.
City Council members discussed the idea with SSC's chief financial officer, Amber Jones, at the Public Works and Utilities Committee meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 30. The committee probably will review the idea again on Feb. 13. A start date for the new service, if any, has not been determined.
In meetings of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee late last year, committee members called for eliminating Sanitary Service Company's weekly service. In outlying parts of Whatcom County, trucks can travel several miles to pick up one container of garbage, city Administrator Greg Young said.
