A South Whidbey metropolitan parks, recreation district? By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District officials continued a discussion last week of a possible ballot measure that would fundamentally alter its constitution by transi-
tioning to a “metropolitan” designation. Director Doug Coutts said he initially proposed the idea because it would allow commissioners and staff to plan further ahead with a set budget for maintenance and operations, which would stay constant for more
than six years. At a regular business meeting Wednesday evening, commissioners and Coutts took public comment and answered questions on the matter. Lou Malzone, a Freeland resident, noted
that he had reviewed state law and had not found any language that says a district could move to place a measure on the ballot on its own, that it could only do so via a public petiSEE DISTRICT, A24

People walk up Second Street from Anthes Avenue for the annual Welcome the Whales Parade in Langley on April 18.
Tons of fun but no whales at parade Large crowd enjoys sunshine, community at annual event
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Whales, orcas, jellyfish, salmon, a sea star and a ghost shrimp were all spotted strolling through Langley on Saturday during the annual Welcome the Whales Parade. Langley continued its yearly tradition of welcoming the whales April 18 as people, many of whom dressed like the aforementioned creatures, flowed through Second and First streets. The sight, much like a whalewatching trip, drew plenty of onlookers for pictures of the cavalcade, following them down to Seawall Park for a short ceremony of readings, music and
a blessing. Participation was open to the public. The parade snaked from Anthes Avenue and Second Street up to Cascade Avenue, down First Street and hooked up with Anthes again to the park looking out over Saratoga Passage. People eagerly awaited any sign of whales, especially given the buzz that some gray whales were seen that morning in Everett and were headed west toward Whidbey Island. Alas, eager whale watchers were left largely to their own imaginations of the massive marine mammals spy hopping, spouting or rolling through the ghost shrimp-filled Langley shore. “We hope that, along with all the cel-
ebration and fun, you’ll learn more about these gray whales that visit us every year,” said Susan Berta, co-founder of Orca Network during the ceremony, wearing an Orca Network shirt and an orca-shaped hat. Demureness went out the window as people throughout the parading throng donned whale and marine-themed attire. Adults and children alike dressed as sea life, including Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy — reprising his 2014 parade role as the resident ghost shrimp — sporting the antennae, tail and large SEE PARADE, A15

Legal challenge to Island County coroner dropped By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record A widow has dropped a legal challenge to the Island County coroner’s determination in the manner of her husband’s death. Rachel P. Anderson was seeking a judicial review of Island County Coroner Robert Bishop’s determination that her husband, Martin Anderson, died as a result of suicide on South Whidbey on Oct. 17, 2011. The family had a substantial life insurance policy that would not pay out in the event of suicide, according to Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks. The case was scheduled to go before a jury May 5, but Rachel Anderson and her attorney, John Peick of Bellevue, dismissed the case after a week of depositions, Banks said. “I’m relieved that we’re not going to have to spend any more county money to preserve the determination,” Bishop said. The order granting the dismissal was entered March 31. “We agreed strongly with Dr. Bishop,” Banks said, “that the principled and correct decisions of an elected official cannot be over-

turned merely to assist an individual in her claim against an insurance company, even in tragic circumstances such as this.” Anderson’s petition claimed that Martin Anderson’s death “was caused by unlawful or unnatural means, to-wit, homicide, accident or unintended adverse drug interactions.” In court papers, Peick describes Martin Anderson as a happily married father of two with no financial challenges. “On October 17, 2011, Martin Anderson had everything to live for,” Peick wrote. Martin Anderson, a Bothell resident, left his work early on the day of his death and caught the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry — buying two one-way tickets — and went to the couple’s recreational home in Clinton, according to court documents. Martin Anderson’s brother-in-law called the sheriff’s office and asked for a deputy to check on him because family members were unable to reach him by phone and he was due back at his Bothell home hours prior. A deputy with the Island County Sheriff’s Office discovered Martin Anderson’s body in the backyard of a Clinton home while con-
ducting a welfare check, according to documents obtained by Whidbey News Group through a public records request. A deputy found Martin Anderson’s body face-down in the backyard of the vacation home. A small red-handled knife and sheath were found nearby. A small incision was located on his neck. A detective was unable to find identifiable fingerprints on the knife or sheath. Investigators found no evidence of a struggle or break-in at the house.
The petition, however, alleged that Bishop made the determination without adequate investigation. Banks, however, said he stands by Bishop, whom he considers one of the top coroners in the state. In fact, a forensic pathologist the county hired as an expert witness agreed not to charge for the hours of pretrial preparation, “out of their respect for Dr. Bishop’s high quality work,” Banks wrote.

PARKS Smoking may be snuffed out Smoking may soon be banned entirely from all South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District facilities, including its many parks. The board of commissioners discussed the matter of smoking on district property at a regular business meeting Wednesday. Director Doug Coutts said staff have been removing old signs which stated there was no smoking allowed on parks property because state law only mandates the prohibition of smoking within 25 feet of any public entrance. Coutts said the district’s current policy is in line with state law. This leaves a grey area concerning areas such as outdoor picnic areas and pavilions that should be
addressed, he said. Commissioner Matt Simms said he had never seen anyone smoking in the parks in his 17 years living on South Whidbey, though commissioner Bob Hezel said he had seen one or two smokers in the parks. Tom Fallon, facility and grounds supervisor, said the skate park was a problem area for smoking and resultant cigarette butts. “Cigarette butts are the bane of my existence,” he said. Simms suggested making the policy simple, and maintaining a “no smoking” policy, or creating a designated smoking area. Coutts said he will present some sample policies for the commissioners to consider at next month’s meeting.
Trout, freshwater fishing opens Hundreds of thousands

Anglers using selective gear try their hands at Lone Lake in Bayview during the season’s opening month in 2014. Trout have been planted at lakes across Whidbey.
of anglers across the state are expected to cast their rods on Saturday for what is expected to be the biggest fishing day of the year. Saturday, April 25 kicks off trout fishing season in
Washington. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife fish hatchery crews have stocked nearly 17.5 million trout and kokanee in lakes statewide. These include 2.3 million catchable trout, about 160,000 of which weigh up to 11 pounds each, the department recently announced. Deer Lake near Clinton was stocked with 600 jumbo trout. Goss Lake near Freeland and Cranberry and Pass lakes
in Oak Harbor were also stocked with trout. Anglers may find details on lake fishing opportunities at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website. The department also has a YouTube channel with how-to fishing videos, which can be found at youtube.com/thewdfw. “We expect the biggest crowds of the year on this opener, so it’s especially important for everyone to be patient and careful at boat launches and docks,” said Chris Donley, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife inland fish program manager, in a news release. Donley added that individuals in boats and all children should use personal flotation devices. Anglers must have a current Washington freshwater fishing license valid through March 31, 2016 in order to participate. Licenses can be purchased online at https:// fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/, by phone at 1-866-246-9453 or from a vendor. Freshwater fishing licenses cost $29.50 for resident adults ages 16-69. Fifteen-year-olds can purchase a license for $8.05 and seniors ages 70 and older can buy an
annual freshwater license for $7.50. Children 14 years of age and younger do not need a license.
CLINTON Events, projects to be discussed Improving Clinton through events and projects will be the topics of discussion for the April 27 Clinton Community Council meeting. The council, which is made up of volunteers from Clinton to represent the unincorporated area, is open to the public. Its 6 p.m. meeting agenda includes planning the community picnic, beautification on Highway 525, Ferry Dock Road improvements, analysis of the Clinton market, the farmers market, discussion of getting a roundabout to control traffic better on the highway, website development and Clinton’s part in the Island County Comprehensive Plan update. The meeting will be held at the Clinton Community Hall, 6411 S. Central Ave.

Editorial Parks levy decision must balance needs
Sometime in the near future, voters may no longer need to concern themselves with the semi-regular chore of deciding on South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s four- or six-year levy requests. Under a proposal being considered by the board of commissioners to become a “metropolitan” district, one that would require voter approval, the public would make the decision once and that’s it — substantial increases would need voters’ OK but the operating budget would largely be set in perpetuity. Such a move would certainly make life easier for district staff, and save money, but it’s not clear whether those benefits justify the stripping of a built-in accountability measure. The commissioners should consider this fundamental change with a wary eye before moving ahead. Under the current organizational structure, the district’s day-to-day workings are funded by a maintenance and operation levy. It’s the bread and butter of the budget, paying for everything from employee salaries to gasoline. The headache the model creates is that staff must go through the rigmarole of asking the public to approve this backbone funding source even if the amount sought is the same. The investment in staff time and the actual expense of putting a measure on the ballot make a strong case for a metropolitan designation, as it would remove this seemingly pointless process by allowing voters to OK a single levy request. It would stand until anything more than a 1 percent annual increase allowed under state law was sought. The designation includes a cap of 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The current rate is 18 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. Another cost saver is that the model extends the term limits of commissioners from four to six years. That means less elections, less money. The metropolitan model doesn’t appear to be overly common among parks districts, but it’s not unique. In fact, it would essentially mirror the Port of South Whidbey’s current structure. Standing levies are also used by Langley and Island County. There are benefits to be sure for such a system, but there’s a price tag as well. Longer term limits may save a few bucks, but six years is a long haul and finding people willing to serve even four-year terms can at times be a challenge. More importantly, however, going through the occasional chore of explaining and justifying a budget should not be considered a meaningless exercise. It’s not. It’s a chance for members of the public to learn about the organization they’re funding and a means of accountability. The circumstances that would justify a maintenance and operations levy rejection are hard to contemplate — it would essentially cripple the district — but what’s important is that the mechanism exists for voters to call upon if ever necessary. Levy limits exist for a reason. They may be cumbersome, expensive and at times seem silly, but they have their place. The burden of district commissioners now is to decide whether the benefits and savings of a new system outweigh a tried and true safeguard.

Outside inquiry should happen Editor, It is too bad a young man had to die in our county jail to finally get an investigation, hopefully on how the inmates are treated. It doesn’t surprise me though, especially after what I witnessed in the courtroom on Monday April 6. A gentleman was brought in from the Oak Harbor city jail who had simple charges of trespass but when the judge was finished, he was not. He thought the charges were unfair and wanted to be heard, but he was told to get up. He declined and made a pulling motion. He was sitting so he really was not a threat but the officer in the courtroom was quick to grab the man’s face and twist his neck so violently from right to left that I am surprised his neck was not broken. This is an uncalled for means of trying to take control. This is not and should not be tolerated by anyone as they half way carried him out. You could hear him screaming, “Help me, help me. They are killing me, please I need help.” I don’t know if it is the same young man that is now dead or not, but I do think our county should be investigated by an outside enforcement agency to help ease the minds of many, and show there are no cover-ups. I am so sorry to the family of this young man. God bless them and help ease their pain. Respectfully LOIS REDFORD Langley
Public funding has pressing needs Editor, Although I do not live in Langley, I have lived in Freeland for 10 years, owned property, paid taxes and have become active in my community. That being said, the Langley funicular issue has my interest. As I write, Island Transit is in the midst of a terrible financial crisis and now has a new, interim executive director with four new Island Transit board members who are trying to balance the books. One of the ways they are doing this has been by cutting back service, including paratransit. If you are elderly, poor, disabled or otherwise unable to provide for your transportation needs, Island Transit is an imperative for you. With the cut back on routes, this has put a huge burden on those of us in the community who rely on Island Transit for basic, fundamental transport. While I don’t need paratransit yet, after 25 years of multiple sclerosis, I do take comfort in knowing that some rea-

sonable assistance is there if needed. So here we are, with Island Transit on the brink of insolvency, and we have folks who are for a funicular in Langley without any mention about funding. And, yes, anything that has to do with public money should be ADA compliant. If not taxpayer money, where will we get the funding? My husband and I sail, but the only time that I sail is with an able-bodied party. I don’t expect the taxpayer to fund my hobbies. And, yes, sailing is my hobby. It is time to realize that each of these “little projects” draws down the public coffers and reduces the governments’ ability to do legitimate, worthwhile work. Let’s focus on Island Transit. Any talk about a funicular must be from private funding. CHELLE BRUNKE Freeland
Standing behind Queer Parade Editor, I am a co-organizer of the Queer Pride Parade on
Whidbey. I claim “queer” as a personal and political identification. Captn Blynd believes that “queer” cannot be spoken in love, and that the pride parade is a hate event. I have extended invitations to meet in person, but to no avail. Sir, I know I will never understand how it feels to be you. Words mean something different to everyone, and I do not seek agreement or sameness. My intention is not to convince you that your experiences with the word “queer” are invalid. But your rejection of “queer” does not mean that I, and this community, cannot claim it. I have thought deeply and listened deeply. Many people who expressed discomfort with the word “queer” last year chose to be open to our reasons and intentions, and joined us in a celebration of love and diversity on Whidbey.

An open letter from the executive director of Whidbey Children’s Theater

LETTERS CONTINUED FROM A6
We celebrate ourselves, and we celebrate you, whichever words you choose to positively identify yourselves with. I know I’m not alone when I say that our community waits with open arms to listen and to include, should you choose to engage with love and openness. I am willing to participate in a dialogue, but I am not willing to engage in myopic, online bullying with someone who chooses to steep in fear and hatred rather than meeting in person or engaging with their community to find inclusive solutions. I would be delighted to sit down with you and the Mayor publicly to discuss the Queer Pride Parade and the well-being of our
ences alike! From four-year-olds shrieking in delight at a rack of costumes and lights to spotlight them, to the whoops of joy from teen actors at the end of opening night. Recognizing that all their dedicated, hard work and sacrifice has paid off. The sighs, laughter and applause of audiences add a satisfying and important final touch to experiences that WCT youth actors have while they journey through this world of performing arts. “Sometimes people feel not just shy, but shy about their selves, like they need to be somebody else to matter. But here you can be yourself and not have to pretend to be something you’re not.” — WCT youth actor, age 9. “WCT allows kids to be themselves and gives them a chance to be heard. Here everyone is different and we all love that and support that.” — WCT youth actor, age 13. Almost 35 years after it was founded by Martha Murphy in her back yard, Whidbey
Whidbey community. And I continue to stand firm in my belief that when my friends and I use the word “queer” it is a loving, revolutionary, inclusive word, and that the parade will remain the Queer Pride Parade, open to all who choose and do not choose that word, as long as they come in love.

Double shame on editor for headline Editor, Per The Record’s Wednesday, April 15 headline, “Gipson found innocent.” A responsible journalist knows the difference between “innocent” and “not guilty” which are legal terms. The headline could well have been “Gipson not guilty” and still fit.
Children’s Theater still rings with these truths, holding steadfast to its mission: to create opportunities for young people to discover themselves, through the creative process. WCT doesn’t just produce plays and musicals. WCT programs build artists, public speakers, team players, collaborators, inventors, and compassionate, hard-working people. Theater might be the best environment to teach people these lessons, and now, while public schools are struggling for funding and finding themselves shifting to a more standardized core curriculum, the need seems greater than ever. Last season, WCT served over 1,000 young people, awarded financial aid to 38 percent of our production participants, and saw enrollment of new-to-WCT students up to record numbers. We are working with our local schools to provide performing arts opportunities, soliciting grant support to supplement our program funding and our 57-year-old facility (and

But more than that, we have work to do to meet the needs of our community of children. Over the past 34 years, WCT has been a home-away-from-home for literally thousands of children. As we move in to our 35th year, we will continue to develop our program and create new avenues of artistic experience: Theater for Young Audiences, performing arts programs for the elementary and high schools, an expanded program for our teens, theater skill-building classes, and more. Because we have heard time and again the important role this program has played in the lives of this community’s young people. This Saturday, we host our annual spring community fundraising event, Artapalooza. I hope you’ll join us for Act I, our afternoon Garden Party at Fireseed Catering on Coles Road – enjoy
some refreshments, meet the amazing children that make this program special, and see what we’ll be doing next season (and how young eyes light up at the prospect of new roles and challenges.) If you’re interested in attending Act II, our Gala Dinner and Auction that same night, please give us a call to inquire about seating. We cannot do what we do without donor support. If you believe in the value of performing arts for young people, then act now. We understand that donors have many compelling programs to choose from when they look at where to make their contributions. You can become a maker of magic when you make a contribution to Whidbey Children’s Theater.

Girls golf bests AMHS in non-league meet
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Falcon senior Rosie Portillo chips onto the first hole green at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club on April 20.
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record South Whidbey girls golf shined on a sunkissed day at Useless Bay Golf & Country Club in a non-league match against Archbishop Murphy on Monday. The Falcons rolled to a 136-60 victory in a Stableford format meet through 12 holes. Archbishop Murphy only fielded five golfers for the varsity meet; a full roster
has six. In a Stableford format, points are won based on the number of strokes at each hole, rather than the total number of strokes. Leading the way was Falcon freshman Kolby Heggenes, playing in the second group. She scored a team-best 34 points. Tarra Moore, a Falcon junior, scored 31 points. South Whidbey’s seniors struggled a bit, with Grace Stringer scoring 25 points, and Rosie Portillo and Meghan DeWolf scoring 23,
along with sophomore Riley Yale. Portillo is the only Falcon who has competed at the state girls golf tournament, but she has struggled thus far in the season. Those challenges continued on Monday during the nonleague meet against fellow Cascade Conference team Archbishop Murphy. On the second hole, she hooked her drive left and into the trees. After a frantic five-minute search, the ball was found perched between
two trees amid long grass and foliage. She hit out and was able to putt in after seven strokes. Her Falcon teammate and group partner Heggenes also ripped her drive into the trees, but was fortunate to have the ball bounce into the fairway. She recovered on the green with a long putt. South Whidbey travels to Battle Creek Public Golf Course for a league meet against Archbishop Murphy on Thursday in Tulalip.
Depleted soccer squad shuts out Granite Falls By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Missing a few starters, South Whidbey boys soccer managed to fill the roster gaps and defeat Granite Falls 3-0 on April 17. The Falcons (7-2-0 Cascade Conference, 9-2-0 overall) built upon a 1-0 halftime lead and kept the Tigers out of the net. “It was one of those nerve-wracking type games for a coach,” Falcon head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins said. South Whidbey, playing without one of its leading scorers, senior Kai da Rosa, lost another senior early in the
match. Andy Zisette took a kick to his shin, which resulted in a yellow card warning for the offending Granite Falls player, and missed all but 10 minutes of the game. From there, play continued to be physical. In Robbins’ opinion, it was unsafe. “I can’t stand refs that don’t control the game,” he said. Falcon senior Davin Kesler missed the game due to an illness. The first goal was booted in by senior Kameron Donohoe. Robbins said he moved Donohoe up from midfielder to striker, leading to the goal on an assist from senior Jeff Meier.
Lucas Fulton, a junior, booted in the second goal in the second half. Meier scored the third goal, his 18th of the season, on an assist from junior Lucas Leiberman. South Whidbey hosted Archbishop Murphy (9-0 conference, 10-0 overall) on Tuesday, after The Record went to press. In their previous meeting, Robbins also criticized the officiating as being “unsafe” for his players in a 1-0 loss. Ahead of the rematch, Robbins said he hoped his team would match the physicality brought to Waterman’s Field by the league-leading, undefeated Wildcats.

Muzzy home run powers rally over Eagles By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Just about everything went right for the Falcon baseball team to pull out a 4-3 rally victory over the Cedar Park Christian Eagles on Friday. South Whidbey trailed Cedar Park Christian 3-1 heading into the third inning of a crucial 1A Cascade Conference game. Junior leadoff batter Ricky Muzzy changed that when he blasted a two-run homer to tie the game. That shot injected some life into the Falcons (3-8 Cascade Conference, 4-9 overall) on defense, who were able to hold the Eagles scoreless the rest of the game. Muzzy hit a two-out RBI infield single for the go-ahead run before closing out the contest on the mound in relief. “It feels like we’re starting to play Falcon baseball,” said Falcon head coach Tom Fallon. “We’re not making errors, hitting the ball better.” Falcon sophomore Will Simms pitched himself into and out of a couple of close calls late in the game, Fallon said. In the fifth inning, the Eagles loaded the bases with no outs. But Simms and the Falcons were able to keep any of the runners from reaching home. South Whidbey took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but watched that slim advantage disappear as Cedar Park Christian jumped ahead 3-1. In the third inning, Muzzy brought in senior Campbell Albertsen with a home run to tie the game. After trading bouts of stranding runners in scoring position with Cedar

He finished with 3 RBI, including the go-ahead score in the seventh inning. Park Christian, South Whidbey made a two-out rally in the seventh. Austin Sterba hit a single, followed by walks from senior Trent Fallon and Albertsen. That set up Muzzy’s go-ahead RBI single up the middle that was scooped by the second baseman. Muzzy beat the throw, scoring Sterba. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Muzzy relieved Simms on the mound and closed the game 4-3. The win also gave South Whidbey the three-game series lead as it continues a stretch of 1A games with postseason implications. “There’s no slouch teams,” Fallon said. “Everybody’s competitive.” South Whidbey found that out the

Whidbey ham radio buffs to discuss island’s preparedness for disasters Island County Amateur Radio Club members will learn about a major multistate disaster preparedness exercise planned for 2016 at its monthly meeting next week. The meeting is set for 9 a.m. Saturday, April 25 in the large conference room of the Whidbey Telecom WiFire building, 1651 East Main St., Freeland. The free meeting is open to the public. Emergency communications specialist Michael Chaplin will familiarize Whidbey radio ham operators with the upcoming multi-state major earthquake exercise, which involves federal, state and local governments as well as private organizations and radio hams throughout the Pacific northwest. The operation will test preparation, coordination and communications capabilities during
a major earthquake and tsunami. The four-day exercise in June 2016, called Cascadia Rising 2016, will prepare government and private sector organizations to approach complex disaster operations as a joint team. Chaplin, a federally licensed ham radio operator who resides in Ferndale, is the operational communications co-lead for the exercise. He has served as a communications officer for various city and county governments and is a retired Professor Emeritus of Iowa State University.

KEEP TALKING!
Ever have a disagreement and felt like just walking out? Ever hang up the phone abruptly - cutting off the other party from responding? To sell your home successfully, be prepared to keep talking no matter what a prospective buyer’s position may be. When a buyer chooses your home, the first step is a formal written offer. If the offer is satisfactory, the offer becomes a binding contract. Often some aspect may not be acceptable, in which case you have two choices. You may choose not to respond or you may make a “counter-offer,” a written counter-proposal. No response is the equivalent of “hanging-up.” It may leave them angry and confused. To make the most of every offer, always keep the conversation moving. Make a counter-offer, even if it involves little movement from your initial position. This assures the buyers that you are taking their offer seriously, even though your position may be somewhat rigid. If the buyers are committed, your counter-offer may be accepted. If not, it may trigger another counter-offer. No matter what, keep the conversation in motion. A satisfactory transaction is the likely outcome.

With clamming season open, Whidbey beaches provide a smorgasbord of delicacies By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record For beachcombers at Scatchet Head, empty clam shells are a commonplace discovery. But Sunday morning, a young visitor discovered an unusual surprise when she curiously peered into a shell to find a host of hermit crab inhabitants. The tiny crustaceans were a reminder of the clam’s integral role in Northwest Native American Haida folklore and the legend of the beginning of humankind. According to the legend, Raven was feasting on a beach when he heard strange sounds. He came upon a giant clamshell inhabited by small beings. Eager for companionship, and for someone to trick, Raven coaxed them out of the shell. These beings became the first humans. Clams remain an important part of life in the Pacific Northwest. Thousands of residents and visitors take to the beach each year to dig for the shellfish, and certain clams such as the geoduck carry a high price tag internationally. On Sunday morning, South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s Program Director Carrie Monforte instructed a class of about 20 individuals in the secrets of clam harvesting. Eugene Thrasher of Washington State University Beach Watchers was also in attendance to assist in teaching the eager clammers the tricks of his trade. Clam Digging 101: Digging for Dinner was a two-hour class which took place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, April 19 at Scatchet Head Community Center. Clammers of all ages sought a variety of clams such as butter clams, steamers, manilas and horse clams, all of which are regularly found on the Scatchet Head beach. Those looking for a challenge also had the opportunity to seek out geoducks. Razor clams are not found at Scatchet Head and are also restricted by far fewer approved digging days. The number of days approved for

Sara Martin and her daughter Lucy Helms examine marine life while clamming Sunday at Scatchet Head beach. razor clam digs is typically between 15-35, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Clamming season depends upon a variety of factors, and different beaches are open at different times throughout the year. Some beaches are open year-round. Clammers can use the Washington State Department of Health map to check for safety regulations and closures. The online map can be found here: https:// fortress.wa.gov/doh/eh/maps/ biotoxin/biotoxin.html. Monforte and Thrasher both urged that clammers consult the Department of Fish and Wildlife and Department of Health websites before setting out for the day. They also advised clammers to check the tide charts. Thrasher, who has been clamming for 57 years, said he enjoys teaching others the art of digging for dinner. “It took a long time to figure out what the heck I was doing,” Thrasher said of his own experience learning the craft. Thrasher’s first experience dining on the shellfish in a restaurant over 50 years ago was less than savory. The

Lucy Helms uses a shovel to dig for clams at Skatchet Head. shells were filled with more mud than fish. With encouragement from a coworker, he set out to dig his own. But his first two harvests were less than fruitful. Again, he ended up eating
more sand than shellfish. His third harvest, however, was a success. He’s since been digging every year, and teaches his own classes in the summer at Zylstra and Double Bluff beaches.
Thrasher said the biggest mistake most new clammers make is not knowing their limit. Park rangers, he said, don’t hesitate to stop those who have taken more than their share. He also noted that, in regard to all shellfish, there’s a “you break it, you buy it” policy, and advised that
clammers be cautious when shoveling. The minimum size for a harvestable clam is an inch and a half, Thrasher explained. Those too small must be reburied after the hole has been filled so they can survive and mature. In order to determine if a clam is alive, Thrasher said to squeeze the shell sideways; if it slides apart it’s a “chucker.” Thrasher said the activity has become a tradition for many families who visit the area, and he often teaches students who hail from all corners of the United States and beyond. Diane Evans and her family were staying in their vacation home on Maxwelton and had decided to give clamming a try for the first time. “We wanted to learn about the area and learn how to clam, and all the things it has to offer,” Evans said. The only thing that might have made the day more authentic, she joked, was if it were raining. Jackie and Greg Sharp were visiting from Woodinville with their children, who were visiting from Seattle. “This is a lot of fun,” said Jackie Sharp. “Our son is out there trying to get a geoduck,” said Greg Sharp with a chuckle. “Why? I’m not exactly sure.” In addition to clams, participants had a chance to get a glimpse of wildlife such as herons, eagles, starfish, sand dollars and crabs. For Sara Martin, clamming is an opportunity to teach her daughter Lucy Helms about ecosystems and lend her a “greater understanding of where she fits.” Martin and Helms were not a part of the class, but had come to the beach from their home in Oak Harbor for their second clamming outing. It was also a family outing for Monforte, who was accompanied by her husband, mom and “future clam digger,” her child due June 5.

BIRDHOUSES:
Page A13
Simple but difficult to get right, and sometimes home to surprises
WHIDBEY BIRDING Frances Wood Last month my husband and I headed south on a camping trip down through Western Nevada, Southeastern California and into Arizona. We visited wildlife refuges and stopped to bird wherever we saw activity. One destination was Prescott, Ariz., and a highly recommended campground northwest of the town. As we set up camp, I noticed a birdhouse installed in an evergreen tree not 30 feet from our site. While we settled in, a pair of white-breasted nuthatches busily carried bits of dried grass into their house. The stubby gray and white birds called to each other with a nasal “yank” and darted back and forth from the dry grass to the house. That birdhouse offered exactly what the nuthatches needed and was constructed to mimic a natural hole in a tree. Later on the trip, we drove around a wetland where about 15 wooden birdhouses perched on poles over the shallow water. A pair of tree swallows occupied every house. Again, the natural wood houses matched the bird’s size and shape requirements and were situated where the birds were comfortable nesting. I was reminded of a conversation with a nature-loving friend who said that he’d looked online at the Cornel Lab of Ornithology website to find the correct birdhouse measurements, had built and installed several houses, but was disappointed the birds weren’t using them. He said, “I thought that if you built it they would come.” Like my friend, most of us are aware of the need to first identify the birds you’d like to attract into a birdhouse and then follow the recommended building instructions. Or purchase a birdhouse from a reputable wild bird store. But success can be more complicated, and patience is required. Remember that those fancy, brightly painted birdhouses that you might see in gift shops are to be left in the shops. We don’t want to set up bird houses for

There are several local species of native birds that need enclosed spaces such as an old woodpecker hole or a humansupplied birdhouse to breed. I’ve been able to lure a number of them into birdhouses where I live outside Langley. These include chickadees, nuthatches, Bewick’s and house wrens, which will read-

Tree and violetgreen swallows prefer a more horizontalshaped house. T h e swallows l i k e o p e n areas allowing room to swoop and soar up into the house. I’ve obser ved other species happily ensconced in human-built birdhouses here on Whidbey. Friends on the South End have
barn owls that breed in a specially built house that was installed high in a tree at the edge of a meadow. I’ve monitored wood ducks, hooded mergansers and a pair of red-breasted sapsuckers breeding in houses at Earth Sanctuary. American kestrels breed in houses around Ebey’s Prairie. In each case, the house was built to recommended specifications and installed with close attention to location. And in some cases it took several years for the birds to find them. As my husband and I headed home on our camping trip we stopped at Modoc Wildlife Refuge in Northern California near Alturas. We birded the area and stopped at the ranger station to pick up a bird list. While I chatted with the ranger, my husband scoured the edges of the parking lot for more birds. He dragged me out to point out something quite odd.
A barn owl nesting box had been installed in a nearby tree. Yet a great-horned owl sat right next to the box. Every great horned owl nest that I’ve seen has been a large stick nest tucked into the middle or upper branches of trees. If anyone had asked, I would have firmly stated that great horned owls never nest in boxes. So I asked the ranger. He said that for years the great horned owls have nested in a big stick nest higher up in that same tree. Earlier this spring the nest had blown down and evidently, since there wasn’t time to construct another nest, the great horned owls just moved into the barn owl box. He was as surprised as we were.

Other Moves to showcase dancers’ talent By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record
Niki Greene, age 14, is brimming with excitement as she talks about her upcoming performance with the Island Dance Performing Team. Greene has been with the school since the age of five; this is her first year on the team, an opportunity she’s had her sights on for over two years. “Everything fell into place,” she said. Greene will be joining fellow Island Dance Performing Team members and guests at the upcoming annual Other Moves dance showcase, which features a variety of dance styles ranging from hip hop to lyrical, jazz and contemporary. Performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 at the South Whidbey High School Auditorium Theater. In addition to it being a venue for community members and Island Dance performers to take to the stage to demonstrate their artistry, the showcase is a major fundraiser for the performing team. Funds raised from the
event will be used to offset the costs of competitions throughout the year. They include travel expenses, entrance fees and costumes. Jamee Pitts, artistic director and choreographer, stressed that the team is less focused on winning competitions and more upon building the dancers’ skill sets and showcasing their teamwork, tenacity and passion. “We aren’t going there and saying, ‘I’m going to win first place; I’m going to win double-platinum,’ ” Pitts said. “We’re going and saying, ‘I’m going to share my gift and my love for dance; and I’m going to share my story with the audience; and I can’t wait to get the judges’ critique to better myself.’ ” The team was created by Susan Vanderwood as a means for intermediate dancers who were not quite ready to join the professional Whidbey Island Dance Theater company to get a little more out of the school, a sort of “next edge,” towards a dance career. Competition was never really the focus, which Pitts says is somewhat unique to Island Dance due to it being home to a school, profession-

claw. McCarthy was honored by Berta and Orca Network for his part in halting the commercial harvest of ghost shrimp along Whidbey Island. Since taking office, he led the charge to ask the Department of Natural Resources and Commissioner of Public Lands to stop permitting access to public tidelands around Whidbey for ghost shrimping. The mayor also recently declared April as Whale Month. Plenty of people sported face paint whales, sea horses and octopi. Others had temporary gray whale tattoos, all courtesy of the preparade festivities held at the Langley United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.

Center, dozens of people filed into the free museum to learn more about marine life around Washington. Youth volunteer Donia Kashkooli said that within the first hour of being open, 81 people had come through the doors. During the parade itself, people held up signs to “Protect the Whales,” “Bring Lolita Home,” “More Shrimp = More Whales,” and “Langley Saved the Ghost Shrimp.” The latter was an amended sign from the 2014 parade with “Langley” attached via paper and tape and the “save” turned into the past tense to reflect the status of the commercial ghost shrimp harvest around Whidbey. Emcee Jim Freeman, while leading the parade down the Anthes Avenue hill with jokes and song, said, “And you wonder why we live here.”
