( Andy Bronson /Cascadia Daily News) FERNDALE — Ferndale girls soccer extended its winning streak to seven games after defeating Mount Vernon 3-0 in 3A Northwest Conference play Thursday night at Ferndale High. The Golden Eagles’ offense was on full display against the Bulldogs, posting 11 shots on net compared to zero. Ferndale (7-1-0, 2-0-0 NWC 3A) had an opportunity to score its first goal in the opening 50 seconds of the game. Liv Luna trapped a long through-ball pass, had a one-on-one battle with Mount Vernon’s goalkeeper Kim Williams, but shot it directly at her for the save. In the fourth minute, Luna earned a penalty kick after being tripped by a Mount Vernon (1-7-1, 0-2-1 NWC 3A) defender. Mia Collins’ penalty kick was saved by Williams, but the goalkeeper jumped too early. On the second attempt, Collins scored in the lower left corner to make it 1-0.

George Jay holds a protest sign in August outside the Skagit County Courthouse. Jay suffers from a deep sense of guilt for his role in recruiting young men into the military in the 1960s. Since then, he's been part of the peace movement and can now be found outside the Mount Vernon courthouse on Fridays.
