John R. Buchmeier, 66, of Birch Bay, passed away January 6, 2011.

Blaine’s high school wrestlers made a dominant showing at home last Wednesday against Nooksack Valley as the Borderites won their first meet of the New Year, 43-26.

Everything was going so well for the Blaine boy’s basketball team. They were matched up with a team that was certainly beatable and had them down by nine points after an efficient and suffocating defensive effort in the first quarter.
