Coupeville named top 100 town By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Coupeville was named this week as one of the country’s 100 best small towns in 2015. The list, compiled by Livability.com, recognized cities and towns that have that tight-knit community feel, but also have amenities expected in larger cities. Coupeville, which made number 65 on the list, was recognized for its small town charm with its historic waterfront, many restaurants and larger amenities like Whidbey General Hospital. “I’m very happy we made the list,” said Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. “It’s not just a tourism list, but a usability list. “For a small town, we have a lot to offer. To have all the history and scenic beauty in addition to facilities like Whidbey General Hospital, we still maintain that true sense of a small town.”

Phone scams an ongoing problem, says town marshal

sky’s the limit

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

With the growing trend of fraudulent phone calls happening across the nation, the Coupeville Marshal’s Office is taking a proactive approach to better educate local residents. While Marshal Rick Norrie said Coupeville isn’t a hotbed for fraudulent phone crime, incidents have happened. Many phone scams come from other states and even other countries and can be very difficult and costly to investigate and prosecute, he said. The best thing to combat the issue is to educate the public. The marshal’s office has already made an education presentation to the Coupeville HUB and Norrie said his office is willing to hold presentations for anyone interested. Because of generational differences, fraudulent phone calls seem to target the

Their ties to Coupeville are deep-rooted as are the connections they hold with each other and their small community. When the 60 students who make up Coupeville High School’s graduating class bid their farewells Friday night following the Wolves’ commencement ceremony, in some ways it’s going to be like parting with family. “In a weird way, it feels like we’re all brothers and sisters growing up together,” said Kylie Burdge, who moved from Utah to Whidbey Island when she was 4 and has only known one school district. “I have a strong bond with people here. It’ll be odd going somewhere else.” Burdge’s academic ranking places her among the top 10 students from Coupeville’s Class of 2015. Of the 10, eight have attended Coupeville schools since kindergarten. The cream of Coupeville’s academic crop

from 2015 is a tight-knit bunch that has been heavily involved in community service and a wide range of extra-curricular activities and share an appreciation of the historic, scenic town that they call home. “Growing up in this community has been really rewarding,” Amanda Hoesman-Foley said. “It’s been amazing,” Erin Rosenkranz said. To see bios on each of Coupeville’s Top 10 students, see page 7.

Graduation The commencement ceremony for Coupeville High School’s 115th graduating class will take place at 6 p.m. Friday in the school’s gymnasium. A reception will follow in the high school commons. Coupeville’s Class of 2015 is made up of 60 students. There are four valedictorians with perfect 4.0 grade-point averages — Michael Kelly, Amanda HoesmanFoley, Erin Rosenkranz and Kylie Burdge. The salutatorian is Maria Etzell, who has a 3.986 GPA. All five students have attended Coupeville schools since kindergarten. Tickets are not required for bleacher seating in the gym.

New Coupeville antique store aims for novelty By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Collecting things with unique histories has been an occupation for Kim Christianson nearly her entire life. A Greenbank resident for the last six years, Christianson formerly dealt in antiques and artwork for 10 years in the Fremont Sunday Market in Seattle. This work also lead to an extensive private collection over the years, Christianson said. During a recent visit with family, she was inspired to again share her expertise with others. “I was down in Texas visiting my sister,” Christianson said. “I went into an antique mall and I thought, ‘I have better things in my home.’” For that reason, she opened a new store in Coupeville, Le Petite Cache, which features antiques as well as artwork from local and Seatle-based artist. “It means ‘my little stach,’” Christianson said of the store front she opened June 16. Located in the back of Mariners Court off Front Street — the former location of Vail Wine Shop — Christianson said she knew she wanted to open a store there when she saw the space.

A popular tourist destination, Christianson hopes to bring her own flavor of antiquing to Coupeville’s walk of shops and restaurants. Mon Petit Cache features random and novel items like original pastels, sterling silver items, Japanese glass fishing floats and art created from salvaged tin. She said she is drawn to items that are completely unique and tough to find. “You can’t replace it,” Christianson said. “It’s one of a kind. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.” Christianson said she briefly operated the cafe above the Greenbank Store but has in recent

most of her life. “I like people and I like working with the public,” Christianson said. “I might as well have this stuff in a shop instead of in my house.” One of her featured Seattle

artists, William Herberholz, described Chistianson’s artistic aesthetic as “long lasting.” “She has a really good eye,” Herberholz said. “She’s acquired a way to look at art that is really special.”

Count reveals homeless numbers By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Nearly half of Island County’s homeless are working. This fact is one of several revelations discussed in recent weeks with Island County commissioners as the result of the 2015 pointin-time count performed in January. “This year we feel we have come closer to what we consider a close coverage count,” said Joanne Pelant, Island County’s housing resource coordinator who organized the count.” The county switched its methodology this year and recruited more than 100 volunteers who surveyed people who identified themselves as homeless for specific information. “We can feel really confident about our numbers this year because of this strategy,” Pelant said. Volunteers counted 147 adult homeless designated as “unsheltered” and 38 designated as sheltered. The unsheltered definition includes people living in tents, vehicles, parks, woods and in abandoned or substandard structures. Individuals were only counted as “sheltered” if they were living in emergency shelters or transitional housing associated with a state or county organization. People “doubled up” or living with

family and friends, as well as those in hospitals or incarceration, were not counted as “homeless” but were recorded for the state, Pelant said. Around 13 homeless youth were identified island wide. When the adults are divided by region, 71 of the total homeless were in the Oak Harbor area, 28 were found in the South Whidbey region and 10 were found in the Coupeville area. No homeless were found to survey on Camano Island. Economic drivers are among the top causes of homelessness, Pelant said, something that is common throughout the region. “Other counties’ charts look very similar to ours,” Pelant said. The top reason for homelessness in Island County was job loss, followed by a family crisis or break up, eviction from a residence and other economic reasons. Around 42 percent of respondents said they had fewer than four episodes of homeless in the past three years. The remaining respondents reported they had been homeless for more than a year or had more than four episodes of homelessness in the last three years. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson remarked at a presentation in May how many people were newly homeless. “Almost half the people

Around 45 percent reported having full- or parttime work, and closer to 50 percent are living in their vehicles, Pelant reported. “So they have income but it’s not enough to afford housing,” Pelant said. Surveys also revealed that of the 109 unsheltered homeless that were surveyed, 76 percent reported having a physical disability, chronic health condition or mental illness.

The count included 65 adult men and 44 adult women, and included 11 families with children, 11 adult households and 43 singles. Ten individuals reported being veterans and 13 as domestic abuse survivors. Commissioner Jill Johnson, who proposed that the board have future discussions about solutions, said that the numbers will assist local leaders to “develop some strategies on where we’re going to target.”

Paving project at Deception Pass starting next week The paving project from Frostad Road to Sharpes corner will begin June 8 and will include five nights of full closures for Deception Pass and Canoe Pass in mid-July or August. The project is expected create substantial traffic delays as contractor crews repave four sections along the highway for the state Department of Transportation. Work will begin at Frostad Road 8 p.m. Monday, June 8, and work their way north and complete to roadway sections. They will work their way north, completing

the paving work on the roadway sections before tackling the two bridges. Crews will grind off about two inches of pavement, then repave and restripe the highway, according to Transportation. The precise dates of the overnight closures won’t be set until 10 days before the bridge paving begins, which will be the final leg of the project. The 10-hour closures will occur Sunday night through Friday morning, from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. The bridges will remain open for all traffic from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on those days.

The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, June 4, 2015

We salute the flag and then argue I am struck by how patriotic we Rock dwellers are. That’s not to say our brothers and sisters in America don’t love the red, white and blue as much or support our troops with equal passion or, for that matter, pay as many – or often more — taxes. They do. But there is someHarry Anderson thing about Rock patriotism that Rockin’ a Hard Place seems to have something more visceral about it. And it’s not just because we have a big Navy base on this island as well as a whole slew of retired military folk here, although that’s part of it. Our patriotic fervor is apparent year-round on the Rock, but it was even more splendidly on display over the recent Memorial Day weekend, when you could hear full-throated flag-waving cheers all over the Rock — up island, down island, in-the-middle island, even around island in kayaks and boats. And that’s just the warm-up to the Fourth of July. What strikes me, however, is how wildly divergent our definitions of patriotism are when we talk about it. Look no further than the red-hot letters to the editor in this newspaper to see that. Last month I wrote about how we Rock dwellers love to disagree with each other and how disagreeing is part of our social contract. Nothing illustrates that better than a good, knock-down brawl over whose patriotism is true-bluer and whose is misguided (to put it mild enough for a family newspaper). And here’s where I will likely get into big trouble. In 1968, I was drafted into the Army and spent a year in Vietnam, even though I always opposed the war and still believe it was a mistake. Vietnam arguments have been going on for more than 50 years now. Am I less patriotic than those who both served and supported that war? How about those who didn’t serve and resisted the draft? How about those who supported the war but didn’t go fight it? That last question is one I ask a lot these days in the wake of our seemingly endless wars in the Middle East, where our brave all-volunteer military members are sent back to fight again and again and again. Meanwhile, the rest of us sit on our butts and kvetch about those who either do or don’t “support our troops,” a phrase that has lost most of its meaning since it became a bumper sticker. The vast majority of today’s young people don’t perform what used to be called their “patriotic duty” to defend this country. Why? Because they aren’t required to. Does that make most of today’s young people unpatriotic? All this adds up to lots of good questions to argue about over a beer at Toby’s, undoubtedly with the usual paucity of agreement. What’s good here on the Rock is that we argue heatedly about such things but then move on to the next subject. So much to disagree about, so little time. It keeps us on our toes and our minds fresh. At last month’s Memorial Day parade in Coupeville, I was deeply moved to see the Rock’s few surviving World War II vets applauded, cheered and honored. I loved seeing a few of today’s young sailors in the Navy color guard. I enjoyed hearing the band play “God Bless America” as it rained on us. Best of all, I loved seeing kids, who likely couldn’t find Okinawa, Vietnam or Iraq on a map if they had to, playing on the swings at Coupeville Town Park, giddy and oblivious to the flag-waving blather going on nearby. On the Rock, it doesn’t get any more patriotic than that.

Column accurately portrayed division Editor, I’ve been gone from Coupeville for three years now, but I smiled and had to shake my head as I read Harry Anderson’s column about the dividing line between North and South Whidbey and the language used to describe it. The more things change (or don’t), the more they stay the same. Now that I live in San Diego where there are a number of lively, unique communities and nobody minds driving from one to another, Whidbey’s internal provincialism seems amazingly small-minded. When I lived in Langley for the first years I was on the island, I used to shock my “down-island” friends by saying without a quiver that I was headed to Oak Harbor to shop -- especially after I discovered the great little

places on Pioneer Way. Egad! Always seemed it was North Whidbey’s tie with the Navy more than anything else that got South Whidbey folks going. After I moved from Langley to Coupeville, I became acutely aware of the division. Organizations that promote themselves as “Whidbey Island” this or that, mostly mean South Whidbey. Folks to the north of Greenbank Farm are rarely included in the membership. The division makes for good material for a column, but one has to wonder about the desire to perpetuate such non-inclusive thinking. Amusing. Amazing. Archaic. Provincial.

OBITUARY

Enzmann

George Enzmann

George Enzmann was born in Ericsburg, Minn. on March 16, 1923, to farmers Oscar and Martha (Elbe) Enzmann, followed by his brother Ralph a year later (died 2011). He graduated from Falls High School in International Falls, Minn., in June 1941. He then went to a trade school in Kansas City in 1942 to learn to become an aircraft mechanic. During the war he worked at Consolidated Aircraft in Fort Worth, Texas, as a draftsman working on the B30 bomber. In 1944, he started attending the University of Minnesota studying engineering and graduated in June 1948 with a degree in aeronautical engineering. He moved to Seattle to take a job at Boeing in

August 1948, working as a stress analyst. He joined the Mountaineers shor tly after moving to Seattle and climbed Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Baker and Mount St. Helens, among others. He also was an avid sailor and skier. He joined a local folk dancing group where he met his future wife, Janet Rogers, and they married in February 1954. Nine months and two weeks later his first child, Heidi, was born followed by a son, Andrew, in 1956. He moved to Alamo, Calif., in 1959 to work for Sandia Corp. and received his masters degree in civil engineering from UC Berkeley in 1960. He worked at Convair (General Dynamics) in San Diego from 1961-1965, where he worked on the Saturn rocket project. His son Andrew was tragically killed in a skateboard accident in 1964. He returned to Seattle and Boeing in 1965 and worked on the SST project. His son Edward was born in 1967 in Edmonds. The family moved to Meadowdale shortly thereafter where he designed and built a trimaran, “Trifle,” and a catamaran, “MyCat.” After the massive layoffs at Boeing in 1970-71, he moved to Seal Beach, Calif., and worked at various companies but returned to

Seattle and Boeing in 1974 and worked on the 747. After another layoff, he moved back to California to Fountain Valley and worked for Northrup on the Stealth bomber and other projects from 1976-1990. At this time he discovered land sailing and raced on several of the dry lake beds in California and Nevada. He retired in 1990 and moved to the lovely town of Coupeville on Whidbey Island in 1991. Janet became a (very) active volunteer with the local museum, library, crafts fair organization and others, and George became known for long daily walks, playing ping pong at the senior center and maintaining a large garden. He also enjoyed playing duplicate bridge and following the stock market. George passed away on May 26, 2015, after a long battle with skin cancer. He is survived by his daughter Heidi Enzmann Ontiveros, his son Edward George Enzmann and two granddaughters, Celia Jane Ontiveros and Abigail Elsie Enzmann.

Bayne, Curtin, Stone are more than athletic stars By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Seniors Josh Bayne and Aaron Curtin and junior Makana Stone, Coupeville High School’s Athletes of the Year for 2014-15, are, obviously, good athletes. When discussing this trio, however, their coaches don’t dwell on the gaudy statistics the three put up. Their descriptions soon turn to a quality that doesn’t show up in a Saturday morning box score: humility.

Josh Bayne

Football coach Tony Maggio and baseball coach Willie Smith both called Bayne one of the most gifted athletes they have ever coached. Bayne’s statistics and honors reflect those comments. In football, he was named the Olympic League’s Most Valuable Player as he rushed for 1,528 yards on 143 carries, a 10.69 average, and scored 25 touchdowns. He also caught 32 passes for 473 yards and averaged 21.56 yards on nine kickoff returns. Defensively, he had 91 tackles, two sacks, six interceptions and two fumble recoveries. In addition to being

named the league’s MVP, he earned first team, all-state honors on both offense and defense and will compete in the all-state football game June 20 in Yakima. Bayne signed to play football for Simon Frasier University next fall. In baseball, Bayne was named to the all-Olympic League first team as an outfielder. He posted a .481 on-base percentage, stole 22 bases and scored 12 runs in 19 games. Bayne hasn’t allowed those numbers to go to his head. Maggio called Bayne “a humble young man.” Smith put it this way: “I was impressed by his ability to take over a game and, more importantly, his humility. That’s...his greatest asset, his humility.” Smith said he never saw Bayne make himself the “focal point” of any of his achievements. “He treats everyone the same and doesn’t expect them to do something that he hasn’t already done or is willing to do,” Smith added. Bayne said the most memorable moment of his high school career was last football season: “It was fun being out there with all my friends. They got me to where I was.” His success, he said, came from the efforts of his friends, coaches and parents (Brett and Kathy Bayne). “They helped me get those numbers.”

Aaron Curtin

Curtin, who played tennis, basketball and baseball and earned 11 varsity letters in four years, closed out his Coupeville career with his most impressive performances. This spring he was chosen to the first-team, all-Olympic League squad as a pitcher. He posted a 0.46 earned-

In 46 innings, he struck out 59, allowed only four runs (three earned) and held opponents to a .105 batting average. He also led the team in hits (21), doubles (six), triples (three) and RBI (13), while batting .350. Curtin was also chosen to play in the district all-star game for the region’s top seniors. A week after the baseball season ended, the Olympic League tennis singles champion finished second in the district tennis tournament and went on to place eighth at state. He also qualified for state as a junior, playing doubles with Ben Etzell. Curtin was a three-year starter in basketball, and coach Anthony Smith said, “Aaron was a real positive person on and off the court; he practiced hard every day.” He called Curtin the “glue of the basketball team.” Baseball coach Willie Smith said, “He is a tireless worker; I don’t think I ever saw him take a day off during

this year. “(He has a) great work ethic, great attitude, is accountable and a kid that had a lot of heart and love for the game.” Tennis coach Ken Stange said, “As an athlete, Aaron speaks softly, but carries a big stick. As a person, he’s kind and sensitive, and he’s always found time to work with the younger players.” Curtin said being remebered as a good athlete would be nice, but wants “to be remembered for being a good person, being a nice guy, being able to help others.” He said his most cherished moments weren’t the no-hitter he threw this spring or the eighth-place in state tennis, but state tennis last year when he could share the experience with Etzell and going to state with the 2014 baseball team. Strong coaches and his family (parents Ed and Judi and brothers Adam and Travis) helped him become a successful athlete and person, he said. Curtin will attend Central Washington University next year and try out for the baseball team.

Makana Stone

Stone was the Olympic League’s most dominant athlete in two sports.

Purple P

During the basketball season, she averaged over 15 points per game and helped the Wolves to the conference title, Coupeville’s first since 2002. That, in return, helped her win the Olympic League’s Most Valuable Player Award. In track, she won the league 200- and 400-meter titles and teamed with Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lauren Grove to win the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. She helped set a new 4x200 school record (1:46.64) as the Wolves placed third in the state meet. Stone also placed fourth in the state 400 (59.01). With these honors and the mountain of awards she has gathered over the years, she said her favorite is a citizenship award she received in middle school. “It was for helping others,” she said. “I don’t like focusing on myself.” With that statement, it is

not surprising to hear basketball coach David King say, “Besides being the best athlete in Coupeville, Makana is well grounded and very humble. The team and her teammates’ success are very important to her.” Track coach Randy King said, “She is kind of refreshing. She handles her success the right way. She is the go-to person I use for relationship issues on the team. Makana makes sure everyone feels like part of the team.” David King said, “Besides being an outstanding student and athlete, Makana gives back to the community in many ways. She is part of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, along with coaching a youth basketball team.” Stone’s success, she said, comes from the encouragement of her family (parents Joshua and Eileen) and the support of her coaches, her classmates and the community.

In addition to Stone and the relay’s success at the state track meet last weekend in Cheney, Dalton Martin placed fifth in the discus (147 feet, a PR by eight feet) and Skyler Lawrence placed 16th in the shot put (28-02.5). At the state tennis tournament in Yakima, Curtin won two of four matches to claim his eighth place.

Burdge

Kylie Burdge Burdge spent four years lifting the spirits of others as a member of Coupeville’s cheerleading team, serving as captain her senior year. Her academic accomplishments of a perfect 4.0 GPA also was something to celebrate. Burdge is actively involved with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and is planning to attend Brigham Young University, her parents’ alma mater. She is considering a degree in either political science, cinematic arts or performing arts with a minor in Spanish.

Trumbull

Aaron Trumbull Trumbull has shown an ability to excel in various pursuits since he arrived on the Coupeville campus. Not only is he a top student with a 3.86 GPA, he’s also was one of the better infielders and pitchers in the Cascade Conference and will continue to play baseball at Olympic College in Bremerton. His plan is to eventually transfer to Central Washington University and pursue mechanical engineering. Trumbull has been heavily involved in community service, volunteering his time with Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Boys & Girls Club and other organizations.

Hoesman-Foley

He also plays the trumpet at Coupeville United Methodist Church and is a Big Brothers Big Sisters mentor. Kelly is headed to Western Washington University to pursue a degree in either science, technology, engineering or mathematics.

Bayne

Taryn Ludwig

Josh Bayne

Moving from the desert land of Arizona to the beaches of Whidbey Island rubbed off on Ludwig, who earned a 3.86 GPA and is planning to study environmental science and marine biology at Western Washington University. “I think it’s really kind of cool, kind of an adventure,” Ludwig said. “It’s kind of a place that’s not been fully explored.” Ludwig will attend a two-week, hands-on course this summer at Shannon Point Marine Center in Anacortes for the Marine Science Scholars Program.

The most valuable football player in the Cascade Conference his senior year, Bayne was a champion in the classroom as well, earning a 3.84 GPA. He practiced his moves on the grounds of Fort Casey State Park, where his dad is a park ranger and he’s lived onsite since he was 1. “It’s been fun, for sure,” Bayne said. From Coupeville, Bayne is headed to Burnaby, B.C., where he’ll continue to play football at Simon Fraser University and pursue a degree in either engineering or graphic arts.

Rosenkranz

Erin Rosenkranz A dynamo on the soccer field, Rosenkranz also was a star in the classroom with a 4.0 GPA. “Science is very much a passion of mine,” she said. Rosenkranz will get her start at Skagit Valley College before transferring to a four-year university to study chemistry, a branch of bioengineering or possibly web design. Rosenkranz also is an artist who does freelance mural paintings and was coeditor of the high school yearbook her senior year. She also played four years of varsity soccer at Coupeville.

McClarin

Etzell

Marisa Etzell Etzell is considering a college major at Pacific Lutheran University in Global Studies and she’s decided to get a real taste right away. Etzel will defer a year from PLU and travel to Ecuador in the fall through a bridge year program called Global Citizen Year. Etzell, who had a 3.98 GPA at Coupeville, will take part in apprenticeships in Ecuador, be immersed in Spanish culture and gain a broader perspective of the world. She plans to blog about her experiences as well.

Bailey

Geoffrey McClarin

McKayla Bailey

McClarin’s fascination with astronomy was no doubt impacted by the bright stars that can be seen above Whidbey Island so vividly when skies are clear. “Maybe a little,” he said. For three years, he focused on astronomy on the high school’s Science Olympiad team. And it’s a field of study he might explore a little deeper as he prepares for Western Washington University, where he’s looking at a science degree. McClarin earned a 3.83 GPA at Coupeville while also advancing to state competitions with the Science Olympiad and History Day programs.

Born in Coupeville, Bailey’s local roots are deep and she’s been entrenched in the community, volunteering at many of the major events and festivals in town. She’ll take her 3.79 GPA to Central Washington University and is undecided on a major. “It’s going to be hard. All of my family is here,” said Bailey, who’s family history dates back generations in Coupeville. Bailey was a three-sport athlete at Coupeville. In the classroom, she was awarded wood shop and history student of the year.

Starfish are rebounding after disease nearly wipes them out

Whidbey crabbing starting July 2 Summer crabbing season started early in some areas this week, but Whidbey Island crabbers can expect a July opening. Crabbing in Marine Area 13, which is south of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, started the summer season June 1. Most other areas of the Sound will open for recreational crab fishing July 2, although two areas around the San Juan Islands open later in summer to protect molting crab. Recent test fisheries indicate that crab in southern Puget Sound are in hardshell condition, allowing for an early start to the fishing season in that area, said Rich Childers said,shellfish policy lead for WDFW. “Sport crabbers in that area have fallen short of reaching their catch quota in recent years, so we can afford to give them more time to fish during the upcoming season,” Childers said. “Over the next couple of weeks we will continue to conduct test fisheries in Puget Sound, where we could open a few other areas to sport crabbing earlier than currently scheduled.”

By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Sea stars around Whidbey Island are making a slow recovery after the effects of a deadly disease wiped out millions of them over the past year. Locals who frequent the shores and sea floor of Puget Sound are seeing a new, healthy population of sea stars, commonly called starfish. “So far we don’t see wasting sea stars around Whidbey, and we all hope it will stay that way,” said Langley diver Jan Kocian. “Of course, the numbers are still way down and certain species of sea stars are still missing, especially the sunflower star.” Initially puzzled by the phenomena, scientists finally pinpointed the pathogen causing the sea star wasting disease late last year. Called “densovirus,” the illness causes a deflated appearance followed by rapid deterioration, according to the University of California Santa Cruz, which has been recording the phenomena internationally. The symptoms, which were first reported in June 2013 in Olympic National Park, include the appearance of lesions on the sea star’s skin, followed by decay of tissue that leads to its body falling apart and eventually death. From information aggregated from all over the Pacific Northwest, UCSC is also reporting that the tide has turned in some areas for the sea star. However, “sea stars with symptoms of wasting syndrome continue to be observed along the west coast of North America, and remain geographically patchy.” In Washington, UCSC has citizen scientists reporting that they are seeing only healthy sea stars and, in a few areas, substantial numbers of juveniles. Island County Beach Watcher Charlie Seablom can attest that in areas monitored by the group since early May, they haven’t seen any signs of star wasting disease. “The signs are good,” Seablom said.

Sunflower sea stars, shown above, used to be a common sight around Whidbey Island. The population is starting to rebound this spring after star wasting syndrome killed many.

Crabbers should check the department’s website for any announcements, Childers said. Marine area 8-1, which encompasses Deception Pass to East Point, and area 8-2, which encompasses East Point to Possession Point, open July 2 through Sept. 7. Crabbing is allowed Thursdays through Mondays each week; closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Crab fishers may not set or pull shellfish gear from a vessel from one hour after official sunset to one hour before official sunrise. All shellfish gear must be removed from the water on closed days. Childers reminds Puget Sound crabbers that they are required to record their harvest of Dungeness crab on their catch record cards immediately after retaining crab. Separate catch record cards are issued for the summer and winter seasons. n Seasons for the upcoming fishery are posted on WDFW’s crab fishing website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/ fishing/shellfish/crab/

SCAMS: Marshal educating on scam phone calls

From page 1

More than 12,000 towns with populations between 1,000 and 20,000 were evaluated in the study. Livability.com analyzed more than 40 data points that were then grouped into eight categories — ranging from demographics, real estate and health care to social and civic capital.

The eight scores were weighted based on an exclusive survey conducted for Livability.com by Ipsos Public Affairs, a leading global market research firm. Several other Washington cities made the list including Port Angeles, which made No. 10, and Anacortes, which came in after Coupeville at No. 72.

senior population. “We all think differently,” Norrie said. “Those type of people are forgiving, trusting and caring people.” Examples of fraudulent phone calls include calls from companies requiring personal information because of billing issues, calls announcing the person has won a large amount of money but

must send a smaller amount first and even calls claiming to be a relative needing money. “They’re looking for that trigger for emotion,” Norrie said. “Once they get through the door and it flows.” There’s also been an increase in phone scams where the caller appears to be from a government agency threatening a fine. “It’s amazing the number

of people being taken advantage of,” Norrie said. He even investigated a case recently in which a resident received a call from a person demanding the resident bring money to a person waiting in Oak Harbor. The call was traced back to a number in Canada and Norrie said he believed multiple people were involved in this scam. “It’s a constant battle,” he said last Thursday. “Just today I had a fraudulent call about insurance.” It’s important to be aware of your surroundings and there are things one can do to protect themselves at home, but many, especially in an older generation, don’t think about protecting themselves online. “Crime can happen anywhere, anytime,” Norrie said. “Senior citizens online need to be aware of what they put online. “Be careful what you post and only enter personal info on sites that are safety secured.”

When receiving a questionable phone call, citizens can do a number of things to vet the caller. The first is to figure out where the number is from. Norrie suggests asking a lot of questions to see how forthcoming the caller is. Also try asking for a callback number and saying you can’t provide the information at that moment. If the caller is legitimate they will have no problem providing information, Norrie said. “It’s OK to say no.” Norrie is in the process of finding additional information to help him better educate the public. He is also currently working on creating resources for distribution. “As a community, we need to come together and help each other,” he said. n Anyone interested in further educating themselves on fraudulent phone calls can call the Coupeville Marshal’s Office at 360-678-4461.
