Warming center for homeless to open in Langley By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record South Whidbey’s homeless may have access to the area’s first warming center come January. The South Whidbey Homeless Coalition is collaborating with the Langley United Methodist Church to establish the center for those in need which will open when the temperature drops below 35 degrees. “We’re shooting to have room at the Inn by Christmas,” said Judy Thorslund. Susan Gilles, a member of the South Whidbey Homeless Coalition who is heading the effort to open the Warming Center, said they still have details to work out concerning insurance and other legal processes and do not have a clear estimate of the opening date, but said it is unlikely they will be ready by Christmas. Gilles said she is hopeful that it will be open in January. Patrons will be served a hot meal of soup and bread in the evening, a morning breakfast and a bagged lunch provided by Whidbey Island Nourishes. Some lined sleeping bags, pillows and cots will be available though individuals are welcome to bring their own sleeping bags as well. There will also be a secure storage area for people to stow belongings. Thorslund said there will be rules and structure in place based on those established by the Methodist Church and Red Cross. Thorslund, who has worked in similar centers, said the space offers more SEE HOMELESS, A20

County cops score drugs, guns in early morning Scatchet Head raid By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record

Drugs and guns were taken in a raid on a Scatchet Head home this week. Rebecca McCarthy, 49, was booked into Island County jail on suspicion of possession with intent to deliver meth.

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office seized about $23,000 worth of drugs in an early morning raid at Scatchet Head Thursday. The sheriff’s office Hard Entry Arrest Team, which is similar to a SWAT team, served a narcotics search warrant at a home on the 3600 block of Casey Street in Clinton at about 5:30 a.m., according to Detective Ed Wallace. Wallace said police found a large amount of methamphetamine in the home. The largest bag weighed about 1.5 pounds, plus they

found smaller amounts of the drug elsewhere. In addition, the deputies seized a large quantity of heroin, as well as LSD and psychedelic mushrooms, Wallace said. A handgun and a rifle were also confiscated. He said the resident, 49-year-old Rebecca McCarthy, was arrested without incident. She was booked into the Island County jail on suspicion of possession with intent to deliver meth. Wallace said detectives often execute search warrants early in the morning to help ensure that the defendant will be home and because of safety concerns. He said they want to be done by the time kids start heading out to school.

Students at South Whidbey Elementary School have been exhibiting the spirit of giving this season with their annual holiday food drive. The food drive began on Dec. 3 and ended Wednesday. According to student support services staff member Ellen Wallace, the kids had gathered nearly three full barrels of food by Tuesday morning. The non-perishable food items will be donated to Good Cheer Food Bank to help feed community members in need this season. The Good Cheer Food Bank serves an average of 850 families a month and even more during the winter, according to the Good Cheer web site. “I think they really enjoy helping the community. They love getting involved in helping friends and family and people they don’t even know,” said Wallace. “This is a big part of them learning how to be in the community and feeling included.”

McCarthy cited the roles each council member has within the city. Councilwoman Rene Neff, he said, worked on the city’s cemetery board, city council, and was an important art gallery business owner on First Street. Councilman Jim Sundberg is the city’s liaison to the Port of South Whidbey and its representative on the Island Transit board of directors. Councilman Bruce Allen is a board member of The HUB after school hangout for youths and a member of the Island County tourism committee. Thomas Gill, the city’s youngest council member, stepped into an oft-vacant library board position, acts as the city’s de facto tech expert, and previously served on the Planning Advisory Board. Langley’s newest councilwoman, Robin Black, was praised by McCarthy for her participation in Leadership Snohomish County and business savvy.

OAK HARBOR No injuries from drive-by shooting Nobody was injured when someone fired a handgun into an Oak Harbor home and nearby vehicles this

past week, according to the Oak Harbor Police Department. The Tuesday incident was the third drive-by house shooting on North Whidbey since April, but investigators don’t know if any of them are linked or what the motive might be. “We’re a little stumped,” Detective Sgt. Jim Bailey said. At 10:48 p.m. on Dec. 9, officers responded to a report of a shooting on Southwest Roeder Drive. Several neighbors reported hearing the sound of gun shots and of a vehicle leaving the area, according to the police. Officers located several shell casings from a handgun. They canvased the area and located bullet holes in one home and vehicles parked in the driveway, the police reported. In July, an unknown person armed with a handgun fired at least five shots on Castilian Way. A bullet hit the house, one hit the garage and the rest struck two parked cars. The Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated a drive-by shooting of a home on Swantown Road on April 22. Someone fired several shots and hit two houses with what investigators believe was a small-caliber handgun. Nobody has been injured in any of the shootings. Detectives with the Oak Harbor police are looking for additional witnesses or information. Anyone with information should contact the police department at 360-279-4600.

Editorial Reopening of Holmes Harbor is a victory For eight long years, Holmes Harbor has lived under a stain of poor water quality. With red signs on the beach warning people away, favorite pastimes became distant memories. But, at long last, the waters are finally clearing and state and local officials are preparing to reopen the beach for shellfish harvesting this spring. The six-week fishery is hardly what eager clammers have anticipated and is no doubt a sore disappointment for many, but it shouldn’t take away from this hard-fought victory. Indeed, both the county and the community have worked hard to improve water quality in the area, and the green light from state regulators is something to be proud of. The story of Holmes Harbor’s water headaches are an old one, stretching back to 2006 with the release of a report, prompted by an application to commercially harvest geoducks, that revealed unacceptable levels of fecal coliform bacteria in the water. The beach was closed to shellfish harvesting and swimming, which resulted in the formation of the Holmes Harbor Shellfish Protection District in March, 2007 by the county commissioners. While these special districts can be created electively, in this case the county was required to do so due to the poor water quality and the state’s subsequent closure of the fishery. Under state law, the county was required to launch a public information campaign and work to identify and ultimately address problems. The county stepped up the to challenge, and with the community’s help, turned things around. The OK for swimming was given in late 2008, and the following year freshwater quality had improved so much that local officials believed state regulators would soon lift the shellfishing ban as well. But that was years ago, and it’s unclear what’s been holding things up. State health officials were quoted in The Record saying they expected a conditional reopening in 2012 and again in 2013. Additional saltwater testing reportedly gave them pause. Whatever the case, they have since given county leaders the nod. It’s unfortunate, however, that once the OK was finally given we now learn shellfish harvesting will be limited to a six-week window due to the unexpected takeover of varnish clams. Perhaps in a perfect world, the fishery could have been monitored during the long closure, thereby avoiding such a rude surprise on what should have been the moment of triumph, but no one could have anticipated such an event. According to biologists, there simply isn’t a lot precedence for varnish clams outcompeting local species. It’s disappointing, but it is what it is. Overall, the long story of Holmes Harbor’s water quality problems is one of success, and it’s an achievement that belongs to the county and community.

District District 2 can avoid problems ahead Editor, For the past six years we have struggled in Diking District 1 to answer the same issues facing Diking District 2. We have learned: Diking Districts are “benefit assess-

ment districts” and can only assess for benefits received. The only benefit is to prevent overflow of salt or fresh water so only those properties suffering flooding should be assessed. Mr. Ray Gabelein, who was quoted in the recent Record story, “Proposed Maxwelton assessment can wait until 2016, diking district commissioners decide,” was responsible for failing to hold public hearings in Diking District 1 and attempting to shift the cost for draining his fields to residents who were not “benefitted.” Please don’t repeat the costly mistakes which occurred in Diking District 1.

pro or con. He stated that he had talked “to many in favor” and that the opponents at the Dec 1. Langley City Council meeting were “few but very vocal—who may not have all the facts.” His point was that although the main topic that night was the city budget, the entire post-meeting article and headline were devoted to opposition to the funicular by three people, and that a false perception could be created that more people agree with them than with the supporters. No matter how good the idea, there is a tendency for the more vocal to speak out against it than for it anyway, but Mr. Levine, who spoke for it at that same meeting, wasn’t even mentioned in the article. One of the letter writers states that the Dubuque funicular is “basically an amusement ride … with a $3 charge” and an elevator operator. Mr. Levine made no mention of charges nor of the car needing an operator if it runs like most elevators do, by riders pushing buttons.

MARK Inslee releases budget, challenges lawmakers to do better THE DATE By BRANDON MACZ Special to the Record With opposition to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposed 2015-17 biennial budget coming from both sides of the aisle, the state’s top executive says it’s up to the Legislature to provide a better alternative. Inslee revealed his budget this week in separate portions, ending with his revenue strategy on Thursday. Staff members from Sound Publishing met later that day in Bellevue to discuss the budget with the governor. Inslee’s budget would fund a number of major state transportation projects over the next 12 years, including completing the Highway 520 floating bridge and Interstate 405 projects between Renton and Bellevue. About $4.8 billion of that money would come from a cap-and-trade plan on carbon emissions that affects 130 of the state’s biggest polluters. That, the governor said, would advance the state’s clean air obligations without raising the gas tax. He added this has been a proven method in the United States and other parts of the world. “This is not a rocket ship to the moon where we have to invent a new science,” the governor said. “This is a well-known, well-accepted, successful policy, so I don’t think there’s any reason we shouldn’t be able to learn from the experience of other states.” The governor said he’s open to other ideas, adding

K-12 education — a year early. His budget supports all-day kindergarten statewide and would add more than 6,300 children in the state’s preschool program for low-income children. The governor said he’s heavily committed to education funding, and his support is not based on orders from the state Supreme Court. “We’re not doing this just to make nine people in black robes happy,” he said. The governor’s budget does not fully fund Initiative 1351 by $2 billion in the next biennium. Initiative 1351 requires reducing class sizes for public schools by hiring more teachers, administrators and school district staff, but Inslee’s budget only funds grades K-3. The Washington Education Association, which sponsored the initiative, is criticizing the governor’s budget proposal, but Inslee said his plan is a good-faith effort to begin funding I-1351.

Craig Groshart / Bellevue Reporter

Gov. Jay Inslee, center, speaks to Sound Publishing editorial staff about his proposed biennial budget. his budget has encouraged Republican lawmakers to reconsider raising the gas tax for the 2015-17 biennium. “It’s interesting; I’ve heard some critiques of this (emissions plan) where, all of a sudden, some of my Republican colleagues are falling in love with the gas tax,” Inslee said, “and I’m wondering where they’ve been the past two years.” Inslee said his budget also includes a “mark of good faith” to Republican lawmakers by diverting up to $650 million in sales tax on transportation projects from the general fund into more transportation projects. Neither he nor his fellow Democrats think it is responsible, given the state’s education funding obligations, Inslee said.

of stocks and bonds and other assets. The plan would not include a tax on retirement funds or home sales. Inslee said another $400 million in spending cuts and cost savings will satisfy requirements of the McCleary decision — a court order requiring the state to increase funding for

Inbound errors cost South Whidbey boys basketball By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Granite Falls locked down South Whidbey in the waning minutes to recover from a six-point hole and win 58-55 Tuesday night. The Tiger boys basketball team stepped onto the Falcons’ court at Erickson Gym and flustered the taller South Whidbey squad early with its zone defense. In the third quarter, however, the Falcons got their post players involved and generated a steady lead through much of the second half. Much of the game was played in near silence, as the home-court advantage didn’t make itself known until after the Falcons took a nine-point lead in the second half. Even the Falcons themselves were unusually quiet. “Intensity. We didn’t have that coming out in the first quarter,” said Falcon senior co-captain Cody Russell. “We weren’t talking on (defense), we weren’t playing how we were playing. We usually talk.” Hoping to minimize the taller Falcons’ advantage, the Tigers employed the zone and a full-court press defense in the final four minutes. The results were six turnovers by the Falcons and eight points, including an inbound steal that led to a three-pointer to tie the game 53-53 with about 90 seconds remaining. Tiger senior Daniel Matalomani, Granite’s leading scorer with 19 points, drilled the go-ahead threepointer with less than a minute remaining. Falcon senior Parker Collins, who led all scorers with 22 points, shot a desperation three pointer that missed the rim as time expired. “We were looking good, we were feeling confident …

week prior to Sultan. Granite Falls’ victory was exacerbated by South Whidbey’s overtime win Dec. 12 against Cedar Park Christian, ranked third in 1A at the time. Of fensively, South Whidbey and Granite Falls each started out sluggishly. The Tigers cobbled together

a 14-8 second-quarter lead before the Falcons went on an 8-3 run to come within one point by halftime. Out of the break, South Whidbey seemed to have Granite Falls’ zone defense solved and its own defensive pressure invigorated. Following a Mo Hamsa (15

points) baseline jumper, Russell stole the ball, sending it up the court to Collins who was fouled. He made both, as he would the rest of the night in which he went 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, to tie the game at 20 apiece. A travel on the Tigers led to a threepointer by Falcon freshman Lewis Pope for their first lead of the night. South Whidbey padded its advantage through the third quarter, until finally gaining a double-digit lead on an inbound layup by Hamsa. The 10-point edge quickly vanished as Matalomani drilled a three-pointer, followed by a Falcon turnover

and a layup from Tiger senior Alex O’Neill, who finished with 15 points. Turnovers in the fourth quarter killed South Whidbey’s momentum and allowed Granite Falls to chip away at the scoring deficit, until Matalomani’s go-ahead three. “Like our coach said, don’t get too high emotionally,” said Russell, who scored four points. “But yeah, losing stinks.” “It’s still very early in the season, and we need to learn how to play with each other, our strengths and weaknesses.”

Huge second quarter boosts Falcon girls over Tigers Led by 10 girls scoring for the South Whidbey basketball team, the Falcons rolled to a 43-32 victory over Granite Falls on Tuesday. Only two Falcons who entered the game at Granite Falls failed to log a point in the Cascade Conference contest. The Tigers had four scorers, led by Hayley Hansen’s eight points. The Falcons made up for 35

percent field goal shooting and 64 percent free-throw shooting with volume. South Whidbey had an offensive barrage with 54 shots and 17 free throws. After a near stalemate in the first quarter, South Whidbey (2-1 Cascade Conference, 2-2 overall) led 5-4. But the Falcons broke out in the second quarter to a 25-8 lead by the halftime break. The

Falcons never lost their doubledigit lead in the second half and were able to stay ahead of the Tigers. Rebounding was controlled by the Falcons, who recorded 35 boards compared to the Tigers’ 21. Defense was the key for the Falcons, who only had three assists. Instead of relying on a high-efficiency offense, the

Falcons harassed the Tigers into 35 turnovers and recorded 17 steals, including six from freshman guard Mikayla Hezel, who played a team-high 22 minutes. Falcon senior Abby Hodson scored a team-high eight points. Sophomore Kinsey Eager logged seven points and 11 rebounds. Bailey Forsyth, a sophomore, hit the Falcons’ only three-point-

er and finished with six points. Megan Drake also scored six points. Currently, the Falcons are in fourth place in the Cascade Conference. Four of the top five teams are 1A, with 2A Archbishop Murphy (2-0 conference, 3-1 overall) in first place and King’s (2-0 conference, 2-2 overall) in second place.

Toys for Tots provides some toys, and Readiness to Learn purchases others with financial donations from the community. As of Tuesday, the South Whidbey Holiday House had received about 1084 toys from Toys for Tots and had purchased more than 894 gifts using financial donations. “Families have told us that they are finding gifts their children want,” wrote LaVassar in an email to The Record. “Several parents have said, ‘The hardest thing is choosing between lots of good choices!’ This is exactly the shopping we set out to create.

Rocco Gianni enjoys a hot dog from Deano’s Dogs.

Ron Newberry / Whidbey News Group

Dean Parmenter, a longtime plumber from Bayview, is trying his hand at the restaurant business. In October, he opened Deano’s Diner in Greenbank, where he’s cooking up hot dogs and burgers Wednesday through Saturday.

Plumber turned chef cooks up new success with hot dog eatery By RON NEWBERRY Whidbey News Group The handshake is the first indication that this is no ordinary hot dog vendor. Dean Parmenter’s hands have a rough feel, the byproduct of 37 years as a plumber. But the physical demands of plumbing caused Parmenter to rethink his future and reinvent himself. In October, he opened Deano’s Diner in Greenbank, hoping that one day he will able to put his plumber’s wrench away for good. “I used to work like a dog,” Parmenter, 54, said. “Now, I’m paying for it. A friend of mine told me that I’d always be doing plumbing. I said, ‘Don’t tell me that.’ ” Parmenter is aware that he’s only taken baby steps toward his goal of becoming a full-time restaurateur. His eatery, located next to the Greenbank Store & Grille on Highway 525, is very much still a glorified hot dog stand at this point, with a menu that consists of hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and soda. However, Deano’s Diner is an indoor venue with a cozy feel, limited seating and potential only as large as the owner’s imagination. French fries are the next item in his sights. “I got a deep fryer yesterday,” said Parmenter,

in an interview earlier this month. “I just need to figure out how to cook them. I can always figure things out.” It’s clear by spending only a short time with Parmenter that he’s having fun and enjoys interacting with customers. He still works as a plumber on Monday and Tuesday and opens the diner only from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Grilling hot dogs is nothing new to Parmenter, who’s operated a cart at various sites the past

two years on and off Whidbey Island, including at events in Chehalis and Leavenworth. He takes care to steam the wieners rather than boil, then places them on a grill before serving. Parmenter’s selection consists of a gourmet German sausage, Louisiana spicy smoked hot dog, a quarter-pounder-plus frank and a veggie dog, with prices ranging from $4 to $6. Do-it-yourself condiments include sauerkraut, onions, cream cheese and a variety of sauces.

START YOUR MORNING THE

WHIDBEY WAY

“I’ve been searching for one of these things,” said Rocco Gianni, a Langley resident originally from New York. “Whenever I come through here, I hit it.” “Deano’s a nice guy. I want to see him succeed,” he added. Gianni spoke between bites of a spicy selection. He was munching on a German sausage with sauerkraut, onions and jalapeños and lathered in jalapeño mustard sauce. “I keep coming back for it,” Gianni said. Parmenter said he’s been eyeing the location

since it was vacated by its last tenant, Whidbey Rice, which closed after four years. He spent time at the site in late September, count-

ing the number of cars to gauge traffic at a slow time of year on the island. He counted about 100 cars per hour. “It’s all about numbers with me,” Parmenter said. During an afternoon rush, Parmenter had eight customers in his diner at one time last week, each interested in a hot dog. His burgers are made from unfrozen ground beef. In the future, he’s looking to add tacos and softserved ice cream. He said it’s scary to try a venture like this, but exciting all the same. “I kind of want to be done with plumbing,” Parmenter said. “It just doesn’t interest me like it used to.”

Clinton couple crafts pens, quilts as gifts of thanks

Kate Daniel / The Record

Most of Scott Lincoln’s pens are embossed with military insignia. There is a pen for each branch of the service.

Kate Daniel / The Record

Scott Lincoln, former owner of Lincoln Computers in Clinton, crafts handmade pens for service members and veterans. His wife, Candy Lincoln, sews handmade quilts which she gives to veterans she and her husband have met.

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record While Candy Lincoln’s little brother was serving overseas in the Vietnam War, the letters and taped voice recordings he periodically sent home were treasured by her and other family members. Her father, himself an Army veteran, kept each most recent letter tucked safely in his shirt pocket until the next one would arrive, sometimes months later. “He grew up really fast,” Candy Lincoln said of her brother who, eventually, returned home safely. “We were the lucky ones,” she added, explaining that many families were not so fortunate. Candy Lincoln and her

husband, Scott Lincoln, also the military is represented a Vietnam War veteran, within his collection. recently handed down Scott Lincoln said his wife their business Lincoln bought him his first lathe a Computers few years to their son back, givand are ing him now spendthe idea to build ing their “Most of our veterans pens as retirement ask for nothing and Christmas giving back gifts for to veterans should be given friends and service everything.” and fammembers Candy Lincoln, ily.

appreciation. He sells a few of the writing utensils now and again and gives some to other pen turners for sale at auctions, but any profit gained from sales goes directly back into the business for purchase of materials. At last month’s Veteran’s Day parade in Oak Harbor, the Lincolns handed out pens to military personnel and veterans free of charge. The couple also recently gifted one to a World War II Army veteran at an American Legion bazaar. “He was overwhelmed,” said Scott Lincoln, recalling the elderly man’s surprised and appreciative reaction. “It was just great.” Candy Lincoln sews quilts which she too gives away to veterans. She said she had heard about Quilts

of Valor Foundation, an organization which donates quilts to anonymous service members and veterans in order to provide comfort and healing, but decided instead to distribute hers to individuals she and her husband know. “This way it’s a more personal connection for us,” she said, adding that there is “no shortage” of friends and acquaintances for whom to make the quilts. Candy Lincoln has lost track of how many quilts she’s produced thus far, although her husband estimated she’s made several dozen. As for Scott Lincoln’s pens, he said he has distributed hundreds. “It’s a win-win for us,” said Scott Lincoln. “We get to enjoy our craft and enjoy giving them away.” “I’m a very big believer in taking care of our vets,” said Candy Lincoln. “There wouldn’t be an opportunity to give the quilts to veterans if they hadn’t done what they did.” “People don’t realize what

they’ve done for us,” she added. The Lincolns applauded the work of the Veterans Resource Center and said the organization has done a lot for veterans, everything from providing social events like bazaars and barbecues to offering haircuts and referrals to social and medical services. “Most of our veterans ask for nothing and should be given everything,” said Candy Lincoln. “They are very proud. They won’t ask for anything.” For the Lincolns, helping wherever possible has become an integral part of life. “We’re always there,” said Scott Lincoln. As for what community members could do to better serve veterans, Scott Lincoln said that lending a helping hand and a listening ear is essential. “Listen to them and see what they have to say. They did a lot for us,” he said.

She grew up in Tennessee, performing with her grandmother and her father, who also played in the band, at the age of 4 or 5. “I started singing as soon as I opened my mouth,” she recalled. Tayla Lynn went on to tour with the band, even opening shows. Eventually the trio was given a record deal and

Tayla Lynn and Eric Tingstad will perform together at the annual Twelfth Night Concert next month in Langley. they toured the country as well as sang for the troops in Iraq and Kuwait. She is now a solo artist, but recently recorded “Honky Tonk Girl” as a duet with her grandmother. Eric Tingstad met Tayla Lynn when she, her husband and young son moved to Seattle. They have collaborated in both Nashville and the Northwest, in the studio and on stage, so she was a natural choice to join Eric for the Whidbey concert, according to a recent news release. Garey Shelton will accom-

pany them on bass. “Tayla is a dynamic performer, born to entertain people,” said Tingstad, whose new album called “Mississippi” will be available at the concert. “I love country music, and Tayla has an authentic voice that I admire.” Tickets cost $20.50 and are available at WICAonline.org or by calling 360-221-8268. A portion of the proceeds benefits the music program at Langley United Methodist Church.

than a chance to stave off the cold and eat a hot meal. It is also a good opportunity for networking and community cooperation. “It brings community awareness, it’s a great opportunity to get engaged,” she said. “It’s absolutely beautiful.” The warming center will be staffed by volunteers who must undergo a basic background check and training. Check-in time is from 6-8 p.m., and the shelter would be open from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m. the following morning when weather dictates. No pets will be permitted for the foreseeable future, though both Gilles and Langley United Methodist Church pastor Mary Boyd said there is a possibility pets may eventually be allowed. Boyd said she expects they will need to do some fine tuning once the center is open and specific needs are assessed. Individuals under 18 years old will not be allowed access without an accompanying adult, though Gilles said center staff will be able to refer unaccompanied kids and teens elsewhere for a safe place to stay. Gilles said there isn’t anything like the warming center on the island, and said she and other coalition members are hoping its establishment will inspire other area communities to do the same. “This is setting a precedent here on the island,” said Gilles. “We’re really excited to have them use our space,” said Boyd. “I’ve served here and in Coupeville; the need for a shelter is great.” For details about the shelter, call the coalition’s message phone at 360-221-5848 or visit the group’s Facebook page.

the expanded presence and domination of varnish clams. According to Camille Speck, a state Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist based out of Port Townsend, the non-native species moved in while the fishery was closed and has since outcompeted native clams, particularly Manilla and butter clams. “It was a little bit of a rude shock,” said Speck, in a telephone interview with The Record this week. Whidbey Island has few good public beaches to dig clams, and Holmes Harbor was one of the best, she said. Having lain untouched for nearly a decade, she was expecting to find a stable and healthy fishery. Instead, survey digs in 2008 and again this year showed the once prevalent Manilla and butter clams have declined from four individuals per square foot to under one and a half. By comparison, during the

alytic shellfish poisoning (or red tide) for longer periods of time. Speck confirmed they carry greater risk and that clammers should check harvest information on Fish and Wildlife’s website before digging. She also noted that harvested varnish clams, invasive species or not, will be applied to a clammer’s total catch. Despite the development and setback to returning to year-round harvest, Speck is looking at the big picture optimistically. “It’s not without hope,” she said. “The water quality story is a huge success.” “We can improve the fishery with time,” she added. As for Thrasher, he said he’s supportive of the state and county’s efforts and hopes future study will bring answers. But, he can’t help but wonder if Holmes Harbor’s clamming glory days are a thing of the past. “I don’t think it’s a losing battle, but I won’t hold my breath,” Thrasher said.

revealed the presence of fecal coliform bacteria. The closures led to the formation of the Holmes Harbor Shellfish Protection District in March, 2007. Required under state law, it was created by county commissioners due to the presence of fecal coliform bacteria in water samples. County workers and the community have worked ever since to clean up the watershed, working to identify problem septic systems and launching initiatives such as the Scoop the Poop campaign to pick up dog waste at Freeland Park. No smoking gun was ever discovered, but water quality from fresh water outlets has improved significantly, according to state Department of Health officials. In a recent letter to local regulators, the agency said the county’s long efforts paid off but that additional monitoring of the shoreline has revealed the presence of Enterococcus bacteria, a genus of lactic acid bacteria, during peak summer months. It was especially present in wrack, the often smelly carpet of seaweed/ organic material that collects on the beach at Freeland Park. The results were enough to warrant a “conditional” reopening of the beach for nine months of the year. From June 1 to Aug. 31, the times when the water quality samples showed the highest concentration, the area must remain closed. Keith Higman, director of Island County Public Health, said the reopening, though limited, is welcome news and a testament to the county’s long efforts. The decision to reopen the fishery and set harvest dates, however, is up to Fish and Wildlife, not the Department of Health, and the two agencies have

State regulators have announced that the harbor is finally approved for a conditional reopening, but shellfish harvesting will be limited to a six-week window. left the county with legal and scientific questions. For one, it’s unclear what a limited “conditional” reopening by the department means in terms of the existing protection district and whether the commissioners have the green light to dissolve it. “We’ve posed that question to DOH and we haven’t gotten an answer yet,” Higman said. There are only a handful of protection districts in Washington and there isn’t a lot of precedent for removing them. Higman said the agency may research the question with it’s legal department about just when it can give the county the OK. Also unclear is where the Enterococcus bacteria are coming from, Higman said. According to www.medscape. com, Enterococcus is part of the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals, which means the contributor could be nothing more than wildlife. “If it’s seabird poop, does that constitute a health

risk?,” Higman said. Finally, concerning the fishery, experts are baffled by the seeming takeover of varnish clams. Appearing in the 1980s, they are native to Asia and are believed to have arrived as “bowsquatter transplants,” Speck said. While they are all over Puget Sound, they haven’t been known to outcompete regional species. Speck wants to know why. “This presents a pretty exciting opportunity,” she

said. Biologists hope to discover what’s happening with study and testing. A big part of that will be removing the offending varnish clams in small areas and reseeding it with struggling species, such as Manilla and butter clams. They will be small, however, and crops will take from two to four years to cultivate. “I’m talking [about] a onefourth acre or less of the seven acres of productive

habitat,” she said. Depending on the results, future transplants may occur. She acknowledged that the limited fishery will likely be a reality for many years to come. There is some discussion with local tribes to harvest varnish clams for crab bait, but it’s unclear whether that will materialize or expedite the return of local species. Thrasher noted that varnish clams are OK to eat, though they aren’t as tasty as steamers or Washington little necks, he said. Also, they are known to carry par-
