Applicants prime for council pick Five hats in the ring for mayor of Langley

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter LANGLEY — Five men will try to impress the Langley City Council on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

They aim to be the mayor of Langley, complete with a $53,000 salary and host of projects in the works and on the horizon.

Among the candidates are two city councilmen, a retired school district superintendent, the city’s planning advisory board chairman and a professor.

Langley was suddenly left without its top administrator when former mayor Larry Kwarsick resigned Jan. 7.

A legal battle with Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks over a falsified document ended with Kwarsick entering in a plea agreement, 15 days in jail and a court order to never hold public office again.

The council has the power to appoint an interim mayor until the next general election in November.

After a brief period of open application, five candidates submitted themselves for consideration.

The three council members not in the running for mayor will interview the candidates in an open meeting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, when the council will appoint Langley’s new mayor.

Meet the candidates.

“I don’t dislike anything,” Allen said. “I think the city council has been a good group of folks that work well together.”

“Every one of the staff people is excellent at what they do,” he added.

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter A dramatic scene unfolded inside Island County Superior Court Monday morning at the sentencing hearing of a former beauty queen who became a celebrity after being suspected of murder.

A line of TV cameras pursued 47-year-old Peggy Sue Thomas as she entered court. A crew from NBC’s Dateline filmed her every move inside the court as famous crime writer Ann Rule watched from the audience.

Judge Alan Hancock sentenced Peggy Sue Thomas to four years in prison, which was the recommended sentence and the maximum he could impose. Thomas pleaded guilty to rendering criminal assistance in the first degree as part of a plea bargain last month, just days before she was set to go to trial for the murder of 32-year-old Russel Douglas.

Thomas’ former boyfriend, James Huden, was sentenced last year to 80 years in prison for shooting Douglas in the head on remote Wahl Road near Freeland two days after Christmas of 2003.

Thomas remained silent in court, but became emotional at the start of the hearing as she spoke with her two daughters. In the end, a corrections deputy searched her in court and took her away to jail.

“The irony here is that Jim Huden is her greatest still-living victim as he bears the fullest measure of her calculated deed.”

Matthew Douglas Russel Douglas’ brother

Under her plea, Thomas admitted to helping Huden after the murder was committed, yet the judge made it clear that he felt Thomas was involved in the murder. He emphasized that Thomas was the only connection between Douglas and James Huden. Thomas worked as a hairdresser with Douglas’ estranged wife, Brenna, in Langley.

The judge urged that Thomas come forward with the truth about how and why Douglas was killed.

“Peggy Thomas has it within her power to alleviate the suffering of the family and friends of Russel Douglas, at least to some extent, by telling everything she knows about this See Thomas, A16

Roland and Dorothy Kapes will celebrate 70 years of marriage on March 2.

Kapes’ celebrate 70 years of marriage A couple well known on Whidbey Island will soon be celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary.

Roland and Dorothy Kapes, better known as Rollie and Dottie, were married March 2, 1943 in Seattle.

Rollie had left Seattle to make his first million in Great Forks, N.D., where he met Dottie.

After a short courtship, the two were married.

Soon after, Rollie was inducted into the Navy as a selected volunteer where he served until the end of the war.

Rollie was a contractor by trade, building homes and businesses in the Seattle area and later moving to Whidbey Island.

During those years the couple raised three children, Gloria, Bonny and Greg.

When Greg was 15 years old, they adopted Chris. Not wanting to raise him alone, they added a brother and two sisters to the family: Vicky, Winnie and Peter.

Rollie said God called

During those years they traveled on many missionary trips ministering God’s word overseas.

Today they are members of the Lakeview Community Church where Rollie is an elder and teacher, and they enjoy their winters in Arizona.

On the spot, sitting in front of her Langley Middle School peers, Carli Newman had only one question between her and the title of Queen (Geography) Bee. One question and one right answer, and it was hers. The question came: “Three Gorges Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric power stations in the world, is located on what river that flows into the east China Sea?” Carli did not know the answer, but she knew the name of one river in China: the Yangtze. And Carli’s guess was correct.

“I thought I got it wrong,” Carli said. “It was the only one I really knew.”

Carli had emerged the school’s National Geographic geography bee winner from among 12 other students. She was the first sixth-grade student to win the contest in at least six years.

“Normally it’s one of the older kids,” said Mary Bakeman, a language arts/social studies teacher and the bee’s organizer.

Carli finished the state-qualifying written exam recently.

Results will be known at the end of February, and the top 100 scores in Washington qualify for the state event.

South Whidbey has been represented at the state bee for seven years in a row, as long as Bakeman has run the program.

Studying countries, capitals and major geographic features has been a lifelong lesson for Carli. Rather than flipping on a smartphone to look up the name of a place, Carli and her mom, Erin Waterman, referenced their printed atlas.

Yes, a printed atlas.

It gives Carli an idea of the expansiveness of the world, which in turn planted a seed of adventure in the girl’s mind.

“I want to travel a lot,” Carli said.

The night before the school’s bee, Carli and her mom flipped through the atlas to prepare.

Carli Newman has the world in her hands after winning the National Geographic Geography Bee at Langley Middle School. The sixth-grade student is the first in at least seven years to win the school title, which typically goes to seventh-grade and eighth-grade students.

They focused mostly on capitals and country names. Memorizing places comes easily to Carli, who said she envisions them as a list. She alphabetically recites the United States of America, for example, and pictures other continents as puzzle pieces to help remember their names.

“I work better with memorizing lists,” Carli said.

Langley Middle School’s bee was short compared to previous years.

FEMA money available, fate of sheriff’s boat murky

By JIM LARSEN Record editor A $1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency finally came through for the Port of South Whidbey, but a mystery remains how it will all be spent.

There’s enough in the FEMA grant to purchase a fire boat for South Whidbey Fire/EMS, to be moored at the port’s remodeled Langley Marina when that project is finished. But there’s also enough for a new boat for the Island County Sheriff’s Office, which was part of the original funding request.

Sheriff Mark Brown was not present at Tuesday’s monthly port meeting, the first since the FEMA grant was confirmed last week by Rep. Rick Larsen. But the commissioners expect him to appear at the March meeting for an update on his position.

Brown in recent months fought to keep a full staff of deputies and maintain 24-hour coverage of South Whidbey, North Whidbey and Camano Island. Budget cuts and deputies nearing retirement leave him with a manpower shortage, so a new boat hasn’t topped his list of priorities.

“We could get a new boat in the marina,” Brown acknowledged, but the grant does come with the stipulation of a 25 percent local match. As originally proposed, the patrol boat would cost $140,000.

“I have two boats, I’d have to trade them in to get the 25 percent match,” Brown said. One boat sits on a trailer at the Taylor Road fire station, and another at the county facility on Camano Island. “Certainly it’s not in the budget.”

However, Brown said a fast, new boat at the Langley Marina could cover Whidbey and Camano islands.

The sheriff office’s limited boat patrol schedule is funded by a grant from the state Marine Safety Program, along with overtime for deputies on board.

“We may need them to fill the road,” Brown added, alluding to his deputy shortage. He’s been pushing for a sales tax increase to improve law and justice funding.

“Frankly, having two boats as a match is our only funding,” he said.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS is anxious to receive its boat, Chief Rusty Palmer told the port commissioners. “We have the money to fully fund it, knowing it’s a reimbursement grant,” he

South End extends long history of school support

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter February elections may be the South Whidbey School District’s go-to vote.

Since 2000, every special election held in February by the school district has passed.

That includes Tuesday’s approval of two school levies, a total that was padded with an added count Thursday.

Each levy remained at a supermajority of more than 60 percent, though levies only require a simple majority of 50 percent plus 1 vote.

The $3.9 million maintenance and operations levy added 288 yeas against 105 “no” votes. Given the M&O levy was a renewal and did not request a tax increase, its major support was an easier approval for voters.

Adding $1 million to the capital/technology levy, mostly for repairs and deferred maintenance, presented a different challenge to the district and voters. But taxpayers approved it nonetheless,

and with 62 percent approval.

Even after the revised count, voter approval remained at 62 percent, with an additional 262 ballots for and 153 against the capital/technology levy.

South Whidbey has a long history of supporting its school levies, even if recent events may show differently. The last time the school board sought money from the public was for a bond.

Voters resoundingly rejected the November 2010 measure, with 56.63 percent opposing it. Only 3,908 voters supported the bond.

In the 2010 election, 9,010 voters cast their lots.

This year, 12,059 ballots were mailed to registered voters, and only 5,757 ballots were counted. Low voter turnout, which historically occurs during special elec-

tions, has been a consistent factor for school levies. Since the turn of the millennium, only a couple of elections had returns higher than 50 percent.

In 2000, 57 percent of registered voters on South Whidbey had their ballots counted.

The other time was in

2004, when 50.76 percent of registered voters had ballots counted.

For the past two South Whidbey School District special elections, voter turnout hovered around 6,200. The levy elections in 2008 were tied to the presidential primary and saw an increase in participation of about

said. “We are ready to go out for bid.”

In the several years since the FEMA grant was first sought, the fire district has been working on designing its boat and the estimated cost has risen from $325,000 to $425,000. Palmer said it has been designed to pump 750 gallons of water per minute on burning boats or even shoreline homes. The fire district has mapped out hundreds of shoreline homes that can not be reached by fire truck due to bad access roads, he said. In some cases, waterfront homes can be reached only by walking or boat.

Palmer said a call for bids would be sent out Friday with a hoped-for completion date of Dec. 6 for the new boat. That’s about a month before the FEMA grant has to be spent.

“This is very exciting, it’s something new for us,” Palmer said. He added the port will keep its small Zodiac rescue boat that’s towed to an emergency. “It’s perfect for lake rescues,” he said.

It’s still unclear if all the FEMA money can be spent. The two boats don’t add up to $1 million. Port President Curt Gordon hopes FEMA will allow the rest to be spent on making changes to the marina to better accommodate the boats, but that’s not part of the present plan.

Even the sheriff’s boat is iffy at this point. “The Sheriff’s Department will attend the March meeting,” Angie Mozer, finance director, told the commissioners.

“It’s not sure they’re prepared to fund it.”

WHIDBEY Gray whales have returned to area Gray whales have returned to Puget Sound with a number of sightings this month.

According to Howard Garrett of the Orca Network based in Greenbank, the first was spotted Feb. 4, a single gray moving north in the evening, past Kayak Point Park (Port Susan).

Three whales reports were made Feb. 8, one gray whale south of Camano; another unidentified whale was seen by a captain on the Clinton to Mukilteo ferry route; and a gray whale was reported in front of Tulalip Shores at about 10 that

morning.

On Feb. 10 a gray whale was reported southeast of Pebble Beach on the south end of Camano Island. The person reporting it said “it came up for three breaths, then disappeared like a ghost.”

On Wednesday, the Everett Herald reported a gray whale was seen off Mission Beach.

Each spring, resident gray whales return to Puget Sound waters.

Along their way from Mexico to Canada and Alaska, they often stop to feed and frolic in Saratoga Passage, just off of Langley.

In our opinion

Our choice for Langley’s mayor For centuries newspapers in the Colonies, and then the United States of America, have been giving unsolicited advice to politicians. Such advice is seldom taken but it serves the purpose of driving public discussion of important matters, which, in turn, boosts public interest in the democratic process.

This is a good thing.

In this spirit, let us examine the vacant position of mayor of Langley. Five candidates have applied to fill the position. All will be interviewed in public next Tuesday evening. If all goes well a new mayor will be selected to serve until the November election, when the people will decide.

Those deciding who should be mayor should keep in mind the principles of the U.S. Constitution when dealing with the vacancy of the chief executive. The order of succession if the president dies or is incapacitated starts, of course, with the vice president, who was elected on the same ticket.

In the event the vice president can’t serve, the president would be the speaker of the House, and if the speaker too is unavailable, the job goes to the president pro tem of the U.S. Senate.

The guiding principle is that all are elected officials. The line of succession gets fuzzier after that, starting with appointees. The secretary of state is first on the long list. But chances of that ever happening are extremely remote. The Constitution assures that some elected official become president, barring an unimaginable catastrophe.

This too should guide Langley’s decision making.

Two elected council members are in the running, Hal Seligson and Bruce Allen. None of the others has held elected office and would have no proven public support if appointed.

Therefore, let it be between Seligson and Allen. Of the two, Seligson has served longer; as mayor pro tem, he’s done a good job as the fill-in mayor; and he’s thoughtful, a strong proponent of open, ethical government, and works well with others.

With Seligson as mayor, Allen will still be on the council, continuing needed experience there.

If Seligson is appointed, there will be a vacancy on the council that needs to be filled. The other three in the running for mayor should, in reality, seek this open council seat. It will give them experience in city government and an opportunity to serve the public.

And if they still want to be mayor, they can run for election in November.

Lower the legal drinking limit To the editor: According to IDIPIC, a Whidbey Island alcohol information organization: One drink, .02 percent: Loss of inhibitions, possible DUI. Two drinks, .05 percent: Loss of shortterm memory, DUI. Three drinks, .08 percent: Borderline intoxication, DUI. Four drinks, .10 percent: Legally drunk, DUI. Five drinks and over: Loss of decision making ability, accident waiting to happen, DUI with prison term.

It is very difficult to understand why the so-called legal limit, .08 percent, is 60 percent over the threshold for memory loss when the international legal limit .02 percent is 60 percent under that threshold.

Any road sign that reads “Legal Limit .08,” is an invitation or promoting to drink too much after the inhibitions and memory are gone. More than two

After two drinks, even our educated leaders are no smarter than Joe-SixPack. Drivers with no memory to start with are at a distinct disadvantage. A legal limit of .02 percent makes sense.

It will allow for communion in church, medicines with small amounts of alcohol and a sip of a drink at a festive occasion.

Drunk driving is like a lottery that works against all of us, drunk or sober: 11,000 each year win the first prize, an early death. Many more win the second prize, a wheelchair for life.

Kwarsick set a fine standard To the editor: Apparently we have five qualified candidates that would like to become the mayor of Langley … admirable. This in contrast to our last uncontested mayoral election which I believe spoke volumes to the respect and high regard that Larry Kwarsick holds with the Langley electorate.

I have had the opportunity to work with Larry on several occasions on issues involving projects on which I was the architect when he was the director of Island County Planning and Community Development.

In recent years, myself and my clients enlisted Mr. Kwarsick as a consultant to successfully navigate and negotiate complex zoning and land use issues. He was critical to the success of these projects and I look forward to working with him in this capacity in the future.

My hope is that whoever is selected mayor will bring a similar respectful diplomacy, sadly missing in today’s governance, that I appreciated and observed that Mr. Kwarsick brought to the process. Moving forward, we may want to reflect on the words of Alexander Pope, “To err is human; to forgive is divine,” … and thank you Larry for all of your years of fine work and dedication to Island County and our community.

Fulton steps down as track and field head coach Former assistant Mark Eager takes helm

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter LANGLEY — Giving up the head coaching job for South Whidbey High School’s track and field team was far from easy for Doug Fulton.

After 13 years leading the program — sprinters, jumpers, throwers and distance runners — Fulton hung up his hat as the head coach for Falcon track and field. In that time, the track and field team accumulated Cascade Conference titles for both boys and girls teams from 2000 to 2004, district championships in 2002, 2003 and 2004 and a 2A state boys team title in 2004.

“I’ve been coaching for a long time, and I’m getting old,” Fulton said.

“I was looking to eventually step down and assume a lesser role.”

He submitted his resignation in January.

But he turned it in only after South Whidbey had a replacement. Scott Mauk, the school’s athletic director, only had to look around the hallway for Mark Eager, who was an assistant with Fulton for nine years until 2009.

“It just was the right time,” Fulton said. “We just swapped places.”

“I wouldn’t have left unless I knew there was someone capable to take over.”

This season, Fulton’s duties will be much like his position as head coach of cross country. He will coach the distance runners in the 800-meter, 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter races, where cross country meets are 5,000 meters.

briefly Parks offers summer program survey Let the South Whidbey Parks

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Doug Fulton hits the track for one of his several weekly runs after school. After 13 years leading the track and field team at South Whidbey High School, he stepped down to become the distance assistant coach.

Fulton, who jokingly said he is “old,” still practices with his teams. He runs the trails through the cold, wind and rain. His last timed two-mile time, a couple of years ago, clocked in at 11:26.

“I can still give the kids a run for their money,” he said.

Where running a couple miles is fun for

& Recreation District know what interests you.

The parks district set up an online survey to help craft its summer programs. The survey asks users to select among 72 activities they may be interested in, from tennis camps to model rocket building and iPad art classes.

Fulton, running the program became too cumbersome. As head coach he tried to corral students to turn out for the spring sport, encouraged them to stay active in the offseason, urged them to eat healthily during the season and checked in on development through the year.

“It takes a lot of time and energy, and I’ll

There are also write-in options for suggestions about programs for the summer, as well as the possibility of leading an activity. Parks district leaders also want to know what times work for youth and programs.

have a little bit more free time to engage in some other things in life, like building a house and school,” Fulton said. “Mark’s got a lot of energy and he’s raring to go.”

Fulton is known for harping on students to avoid high sugar foods, soda and other “junk” food. Even so, his rules for healthy eating have limits.

“A good diet’s like being on steroids,” Fulton said. “We don’t want them to limit food, we want them to eat as much healthy food as possible.”

“I’ve been known to take them down to Dairy Queen after a practice or two for a treat, just not every day.”

Now classified as a 1A school, Fulton hoped Eager’s energy would spark a string of dominant seasons for the track program. Last year, only two Falcon athletes qualified for the 2A state meet: javelin thrower Nick French, now a junior, and thrower Angelina Berger, now a senior. In 2011, four Falcons qualified for the state championship meet. And in 2010, six Falcons represented South Whidbey.

“All the success we have had over the years is the product of the work put in by coaches Jack Terhar, Steve Jones, Jeff Greene, Mark Eager, Dean Hatt, Craig Stelling, Mike McInerny, the late Carl Westling, the wonderful athletes and their dedicated parents,” Fulton said. “I thank them all for allowing me to be a part of their lives.”

Even though he is no longer running the show, Fulton will still run through the trails of South Whidbey Community Park and keep pace with his athletes this spring.

“I love working with the kids,” he said.

“Track is a great sport, and I’ll be involved all the way until I no longer can run.”

High school spring sports start soon Spring sport seasons start soon at South Whidbey High School.

Athletic packets are due Thursday, Feb. 21. Packets must be completed before a student

can participate in Falcon athletics. Forms can be turned in to the high school office, located at 5675 S. Maxwelton Road.

The first day of practice for baseball, softball, golf, boys soccer, girls tennis and track and field is Monday, Feb. 25.

Athletic fees cost $75 and ASB fees cost $25.

Women surprise ferry commuters with flash mob Dancers move for women’s abuse, rape awareness across the world

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter CLINTON — Almost as one, 17 women covered in red clothing moved and swayed together early Thursday morning at the Clinton Ferry Terminal.

The group surprised commuters and ferry employees with a flash mob on part of the covered causeway.

Dancers weren’t there at 7 a.m. just for the joy of choreographed movement in the vein of other flash mobs with Abba’s “Dancing Queen” playing through speakers.

These dancers were moving to support each other and all women and victims of abuse and rape around the world.

One Billion Rising for V-Day was the inspiration behind the dance, of which there were thousands around the world Feb. 14.

“If one billion people come out and dance, hopefully that (abuse) will stop,” said Maureen Freehill, one of the dancers and organizers.

Gathering around 7 in the morning, the dancers assembled between the ferry dock and the ticket booths. With a small portable speaker setup playing some songs on loop, the women suddenly donned their red outfits -- not uncommon attire on Valentine’s Day.

At the end of their flash mob demonstration, 17 women hold their index fingers up to symbolize being one force against women’s abuse. The group surprised ferry commuters Thursday morning with dancing and singing. At top right, Sommer Joy Albertsen suspends a symbolic chain before breaking it over her knees. Albertsen and the other women crowded part of the causeway at the Clinton Ferry Terminal.

Onlookers gathered around, taking video on their smartphones and snapping pictures. Commuters in their cars looked back at the commotion as they prepared to load onto the ferry.

When it departed at 7:30 a.m., the ferry let loose a thunderous blast of its horn, sending the group into cheers as they danced.

During an interlude, women stood upright with their hands forming hearts in front of their chests.

Then, a few said who they were supporting: “mothers,” “daughters,” “sisters,” and a few names.

Council plans to avoid mayoral tie in Langley selection

By JIM LARSEN Record editor

To avoid what is considered the catastrophic possibility of the county commissioners selecting Langley’s next mayor, the City Council met in a special session Wednesday to iron out the process of interviewing mayoral candidates 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday, Feb. 19.

With council members Bruce Allen and Hal Seligson in the running for mayor, they’ll be sitting out the decision making process. Instead, the will be seated in the audience with the other candidates, Bruce Allen, Ed Anderson and Fred McCarthy.

The questioning and decision making will be done by the three remaining council members,

Jim Sundberg, Rene Neff and Doug Allderdice.

Sundberg said there was some question whether the candidates by law had to step aside, but Allderdice interjected: “Hal and Bruce want this as open and fair as possible so a council candidate doesn’t already have a vote in his pocket.”

Sundberg presided at the meeting which all five candidates but no members of the public attended.

He said a set of rules was needed “in anticipation of a possible tie.”

That would be a deadlocked vote of 1-1-1 by the three council members.

One way to break the tie would be for either Allen or Seligson to withdraw as a candidate, which would allow one of them to vote, or both should they each decide to withdraw.

Short of that, a second vote will be attempted. If

there’s still a tie, there will be a weighted vote, with each ballot listing the first, second third, fourth and fifth choices.

Theoretically, this would make another tie highly unlikely, if not impossible.

“We have anticipated all the numeric outcomes,” Allderdice said. If a tie and stalemate did occur, then the county commissioners would have 90 days to pick a mayor.

At Neff’s suggestion, the five questions to be asked of each candidate will be rotated, so every one will have to answer first and last. Then each will be given a chance for a summary statement.

The voting will be done in writing. City Clerk Debbie Mahler will announce the totals and who voted for whom.

Mayor CONTINUED FROM A1

seek to be voted in by Langley residents, his immediate priority would be to include the city’s goals and measures to its projects, then add the funds.

“What you gain from that is anybody looking at it can tell if the city got its money worth,” Anderson said.

“Everybody can make it clearer to themselves.”

Retaining the mayor as a full-time position was a major change Anderson would push for with the city council.

That would allow for more communication between the mayor and the council and with the public, which Anderson said is one of the mayor’s paramount duties.

“I think the mayor’s position is as the center of communication of where Langley is and where it’s going.”

Kwarsick worked part time on the job and turned back part of his full-time salary to the city.

Priorities Anderson acknowledged include the Second Street redesign and the Langley Marina improvements. Both are important projects that the mayor should ensure “go smoothly” and solve any conflicts.

Improving the perception of Langley held by Whidbey Island residents is another task Anderson noted, citing image problems due to Kwarsick’s resignation, previ-

ous Mayor Paul Samuelson’s salary scrutiny and other political drama.

“I think that’s an inappropriate evaluation,” Anderson said. “As a citizen, it doesn’t seem to me anything is broken.”

Thomas E. Gill Protecting city employees who report malfeasance was the top priority for Thomas Gill. The 29-year-old has served on Langley’s planning advisory board for two years, during which time he saw Kwarsick ousted because of a whistle blower complaint.

“The biggest (priority) is to make sure we get all of our ducks in a row in terms of whistleblower complaints and the ethics committee,” Gill said.

An ethics committee is in the process of being formed by the city council. As mayor, Gill would work to expedite the Second Street redesign.

Langley plans a major public works overhaul of Second Street to install new waterlines, lighting and paving.

“I’d hate for us to languish for 10 or 15 years and rush to get it done when the road fails,” Gill said.

ed in November, improving citizen relations, especially in terms of public policy, is one change McCarthy has in mind. Referring Langley residents to the city’s website works with some people but not all the time.

“Sometimes when people ask a question, they are directed to a website,” McCarthy said. “In a city this size, getting a personal answer, when practical, is preferable.”

Hal Seligson Langley’s mayor pro tem and city councilman Hal Seligson had eyes to promote the city’s economy. Legislation like creating a light industrial commercial zone for aquaculture and publicly funded artwork are just a couple of ideas he has to bring visitors and money to the city.

“I would like to continue supporting our traditional tourist-based economy,” Seligson said.

“We have such an amazing arts community here with really talented people in a variety of media, we’re just the right place to encourage that further.”

Improving access to waterfront in Langley was a priority for Seligson. During his time on the city council, Seligson

Increasing public participation in city affairs is one change Seligson envisions in Langley’s future. To him, that means bringing the city to the 21st century by webcasting or televising the council’s meetings. That way, even if residents could not physically be at City Hall, they could still engage in the public comment process.

“It’s more democratic,” Seligson said.

Seligson as mayor pro-tem has already brought about that change to the council’s affairs. Council members may attend the meeting from a remote location if they are unable to be at City Hall.

As for whether he would run for election in November, Seligson said it is too early to tell. Time spent running the city of 1,000 residents would decide for Seligson whether or not he would seek the public’s support.

“I accomplished several things in teamwork with the council and former mayor,” Seligson said. “I’d like to be able to accomplish several more. If I’m able to do that, I’d be encouraged to pursue that further.”

The culprit behind Langley’s Mystery Weekend could be this guy, “Monty Green,” played by actor Mac Shearer.

Gone with the Tide holds century old secrets The premise

RECORD STAFF Bring the family to find out “whodunit” as Langley’s Mystery Weekend presents “Gone With the Tide” Saturday, Feb. 23 and Sunday, Feb. 24. The sponsoring Langley Chamber invites everyone to bring the family and join in the sleuthing fun.

This year’s mystery, written

by Loretta Martin, brings a bit of Langley’s history to the streets for its Centennial Celebration year. It’s a fun puzzle for the whole family.

Solving the mystery is easy.

Just purchase a Langley Mystery Weekend Clue Map with ballot at the Visitor Information Center located at 208 Anthes Ave. in Langley.

Tickets cost $10 for adults, ages 16 to 64, and $8 for seniors, military or youths under 16. Langley Mystery Weekend Clue Maps are available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday, Feb. 24.

Begin by reading the news articles about the crime, “Gone With The Tide,” in the “The Langley Gazette.” Check out the Clue Map

Josh Hauser, George Gutohrlein, Kathy Gutohrlein, Saranell DeChambeau and Megan Jeffers star in “Gone with the Tide.” where you can pick up printed clues to help solve the mystery. All of the clue locations and the scene of the crime are within a mile of downtown Langley. As you walk around town picking up clues from merchants and general folks, you will also encounter some of the suspects described in the Gazette, to be published in the Feb. 20 South Whidbey Record and also stacked around town. You never know

who might have valuable information which will help you solve the mystery. But beware! Information pried from these characters may not necessarily be reliable. After all, the real “criminal” is out there and has every reason to lead you in the wrong direction!

Finally, when you think you have figured out “whodunit,” enter your solution on the Official Ballot. Bring your completed form to the Langley

As the mystery is written, about three years ago world famous movie producer, Samuel Goldfin Myser, was cruising Puget Sound on his yacht when he visited Langley and thought it would make a great location for a revival of his favorite movie form, the rollicking western musical. When he heard the story of the “menfolks’ challenge” he set about bringing this funny and inspiring piece of local history to the big screen.

After consulting with local historian Donna Tellme, Sam hired local screenwriter and book store owner Josh “J.K.” Prowlings to write a screenplay. He also tapped wunderkind composer Andrew Floyd Warbler to compose a score in the spirit of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “Paint Your Wagon.”

In order to get as much free publicity for the movie as possible, Sam decided to hold auditions for the movie in Langley during the town’s centennial year. So in February of 2013, a motley group of semi-famous wannabes, desperate has-beens, enthusiastic locals, and beleaguered production members converged on the tiny seaside town for the filming of cast auditions. But something goes very wrong and one of the bigheaded characters ends up dead.

Visitor Information Center. Correct ballot solutions will be placed in a drawing for several Grand Prizes, ranging from weekend getaways and merchant gift certificates to Mystery Weekend memorabilia.

All the other “incorrect ballots” will be placed in a drawing for other prizes. All entries must be received by 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24 to be eligible for the prize drawings. The solution presentation will begin at

4:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24 in the Langley Middle School auditorium and will take less than 30 minutes.

You need not be present at the drawing to win. Winners will be notified by email, phone or mail.

Participants can go to www.visit langley.com after 8 p.m. Sunday to find out the complete solution.

The list of winners will be posted Monday, Feb. 25.

Auction helps dance starts shine bright

By MICHAELA MARX WHEATLEY Staff reporter

The dancers of Whidbey Island Dance Theatre train all year long to bring audiences top-notch dance productions.

Sore muscles and bloody toes are a small price to pay for the privilege of bringing joy to audiences through the powerful language of dance. Twelve months a year, they sweat in classes, stick to grueling rehearsal schedules, all while keeping up with high school, to shine in shows such as the Nutcracker or their spring concert, Cinderella and Choreography Showcase.

Once a year, however, the community gets to celebrate those young dancers.

This year’s Evening With the Stars Dinner & Fundraising Auction will be held at 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Useless Bay Golf and Country Club.

An Evening with the Stars offers attendees a chance to support the Whidbey Island Dance Theatre mission and enjoy dance performances in a more intimate setting.

This is Whidbey Island Dance Theatre’s eighth annual dinner and auction which helps raise funds to continue high quality dance productions such as the dance company’s Nutcracker and Cinderella ballets or the Choreography Showcase which features a variety of dance styles.

“We started putting on a fundraising auction simply because ticket sales to our two major shows aren’t enough to cover all expenses,” said Amy Lehman, assistant artistic director of Whidbey Island Dance Theatre.

The dance company provides the opportunity for

An Evening with the Stars

The Whidbey Island Dance Theatre auction will be held Feb. 23 at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club.

young dancers to perform on stage in semi-professional settings, train with acclaimed teachers, and attend training and conferences on a regional and national level — in short to prepare aspiring dancers for a potential career in the performing arts.

“Without the generous financial support of our community we could not fulfill our mission and continue to give our dancers the production, festival, performance and educational opportunities that they must have to enter the pre-professional and professional world of dance,” said long-time artistic director Charlene Brown.

“We expose them to all areas of their art form.”

Whidbey Island Dance Theatre has been doing this successfully for nearly two decades, as scores of alumna who have gone on to professional dance careers stand proof.

One of those dancers is Katelyn Candelario Lodell.

She studied dance in college and has since performed professionally. Lodell has also returned to the island production of the Nutcracker as a professional dancer.

Her father Frank Candelario will lead the evening as the auctioneer. Candelario is well known for his passion for the dance company that has given his daughter so much over the years.

Besides helping to pay for production cost and addi-

“The majority of our Gretchen Jacobsen Lee Scholarship Fund is raised during the ‘raise-the-paddle’ section of our auction,” Lehman said. “I say majority because other than minor

donations we might get during the year, it all comes from the auction.”

Scholarships helped five company dancers attend summer workshops in Walla Walla, Edmonds and Utah last year, she added.

“We also do a ‘raise-thepaddle’ for future projects,” she added. “Three years ago, when we were putting

A dinner and live auction will be the main event.

“It’s a fun time to dress up, eat great food, bid on some fabulous items and support our non-profit organization,” Lehman said.

Items on the auction block include Everett Silvertips tickets, paintings, handmade items, delicious food items and more. Additional monetary donations and items are still welcome, Lehman said.

Dinner and complimentary champagne are served, with a no-host bar.

Dance performances will round out the evening.

Lehman said the company dancers give two short performances — snippets of pieces that will be performed at the Choreography Showcase/Cinderella production in the spring.

Jamee Pitts and Lara Littlefield are the two choreographers presenting shortened versions of their dance pieces at the auction.

Tickets cost $60 per person, or $100 for couples. Call 341-2221 or email info@ widtonline.org for tickets.

“The irony here is that Jim Huden is her greatest stillliving victim as he bears the fullest measure of her calculated deed,” he said.

Douglas’ mother and stepfather, Gail and Bob O’Neil, also spoke in court. They both described Douglas as a good man. Gail said Thomas was manipulated into thinking Douglas was a bad man
