A host of electoral candidates seeking office on South Whidbey this year will be getting formal warning letters from the Washington Public Disclosure Commission next week. A statutory 14-day grace period that follows the close of filing week has passed yet, as of Friday morning, no candidates had filed with the organization despite being required to do by state law. “They not only have to file a personal finance statement but they also have to register a campaign,” said Lori Anderson, a spokeswoman for the commission. “It’s that registration that tells the world if they are going to raise or spend money.” Established by voter initiative in the 1970s, the commission was created to “provide timely and meaningful public access to accurate information about the financing of political campaigns, lobbyist expenditures, and the financial affairs of public officials and candidates, and to ensure compliance with and equitable enforcement of Washington’s disclosure and campaign finance laws,” according the commission’s website. The rules apply to election areas with at least 1,000 registered and active voters, which automatically excludes Langley candidates. While the city has the only contested races on the South End in this year’s primary and general elections, it’s exempt with only 865 active voters, according to figures supplied by the Island County Auditor’s

The Sout Children h Whidbey ’s Cent er Sum

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

The total was translated into a “tax burden index,” which can be used to compare counties. Of the counties with the least total taxes in the state, Island County ranks as 10th lowest among the state’s 39 counties; the ranking takes into account taxes for both municipalities and unincorporated areas.

A kerfuffle over a cache of old tires on Langley city property has Mayor Fred McCarthy scrambling for answers, though it may be more than one year too late. A seething John Norby crashed the city council’s regular meeting Monday, demanding to know why McCarthy and his staff hadn’t removed the tires more than 14 months ago when Norby first brought the dump site to their attention. Norby cited a slew of concerns, from possible environmental and drinking water contamination problems to a mosquito breeding ground. “Nothing’s been done about it,” said Norby, who produced a piece of old tire from a brown paper bag and held it up for emphasis. “This is shameful,” he added. Norby gave the city a week to clean up the site or threatened to bring the “lawyers” in. A clearly surprised McCarthy, now facing a concerned city council, said Norby had just been to city hall and asked why he didn’t mention the concerns then. Norby responded by saying he shouldn’t have had to, that he’d informed the mayor about the problem more than a year ago and then abruptly left the council chambers. In a later interview on Friday, McCarthy said he thought the surprise attach was unfair and incorrectly made it seem as if the city had been dragging its feet.

Eggs beside road hatch, baby killdeers survive “With some protective help from the community, a pair of killdeers are proud parents of three little hatchlings. “Three of the four killdeer eggs laid on the gravel shoulder of busy Double Bluff Road hatched within the past week, according to Lori Hastings, an area resident who watched over the eggs since she found them while taking her morning walk on May 12. “Being so close to the road, the eggs were given little chance of surviving until they could hatch. But Hastings, with help from neighbor Brian Doherty and the Island County Road Department, placed some protective barriers around the eggs, and the entire community started rooting for them after a story appeared in the May 17 issue of the South Whidbey Record.”

Homeless count yields a few surprises in Island County By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record 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 up 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 total 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. When divided by region, 71 of the total homeless were in the Oak Harbor area, 28 were found on South Whidbey and 10 were found in the Coupeville area. No homeless were found

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 rea-

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.

CLINTON Nobody found after water search A short, frantic search made for quite a spectacle Thursday afternoon as several vessels searched for a reported pair of divers adrift between Clinton and Mukilteo. No divers were found and nothing was recovered, leading emergency response officials to conclude there were no distressed divers in the water. “We did a short search and didn’t find anything,” said South Whidbey Fire/ EMS Chief Rusty Palmer on Friday morning. Around 5:30 p.m., a call was made to emergency responders that

After an hour the search was called off by the United States Coast Guard, Palmer said. At least five South Whidbey Fire/EMS responders were on the two boats, Palmer said, though more could have been searching. He was

Some work on the three-decade-old Porter Building on Anthes Avenue drew the praise of Langley’s mayor Monday. During the city council meeting June 1, Mayor Fred McCarthy presented an award to the building’s owner, Jim Porter, and the designer

who redrew the facade and exterior look, Eric Richmond of Flat Rock Productions. “What you’ve done is taken your building and really transformed it,” McCarthy said. The building was constructed in 1983. Porter had its main entrance on Anthes Avenue redone and the entire building repainted. “The thought was ‘Change something.’ What you see is was Eric came up with. I just paid for it, which was a lot,” Porter laughed. Both men were given mayor’s excellence awards and pins. “We want to thank you for investing in the building and for your great design,” McCarthy said. Added Councilwoman Rene Neff: “It inspires other people to do the same thing … We know how much you’ve given to this community over the years and we appreciate it.”

TIRES CONTINUED FROM A1

He claimed that was not the case. The offending tires are located in the Brookhaven Creek drainage area in the greenbelt between Langley Middle School and homes on Suzanne Court. They’re a stone’s throw from Norby’s backyard and Langley’s well head. Worried about possible environmental impacts, Norby says he picked up about 125 of the tires in early 2014, February or March. He alerted the city and was subsequently supplied with a flatbed trailer and loaded them up. He was later given an official thank you from McCarthy for the service to the city. According to Norby, a pile of tires about 20 feet long and 4 feet wide remains at the site. What’s happened since then, however, is a matter of dispute. McCarthy says he considered the matter closed after the initial clean up. He said he was aware more tires were still out there, but not to the extent that Norby claims. He boiled down the issue as a case where a citizen volunteered to do the city a service, and that was the end of it. “It’s not like he’s been telling us all along of this big problem and we’ve been

They’re located in the greenbelt between the middle school and Suzanne Court. ignoring him,” McCarthy said. “I was totally surprised when he blasted us like that.” But according to Norby, that’s exactly what happened. He regularly visits with McCarthy at city hall and says he reminded the mayor about the rest of the tires this past fall and spring. He said the mayor even told him to speak with Public Works Director Stan Berryman about the problem. Berryman confirmed in a Friday interview with The Record that he did speak with Norby in recent months, but that the issue didn’t seem pressing. “It didn’t appear to be a major priority at the time but it’s certainly something that needs to be addressed,” Berryman said. Also unclear is just how

many tires are on site. They’re located within a large blackberry patch, which makes it difficult to accurate-

Page A5

ly determine just how many are there. Berryman said he looked at the site this week and couldn’t even find it. Environmentalist Marianne Edain, a founding member of Whidbey Environmental Action Network, said the only way to know for sure is to knock down the brush and remove the tires. Old tires can leach dangerous pollutants, such as heavy metals, into the ground as they degrade. “Big time,” she said. Edain says the number of tires is largely irrelevant — they’re toxic and simply need to be removed. She also wants the city to perform soil testing and take corrective steps if necessary. She noted that their location is either within or very close to a well-head protec-

tion area, which are in place to ensure the protection of public water supplies. McCarthy said he directed Berryman to answer a dozen questions about the issue, everything from the number of tires at the site and the cost of removal to how they got there in the first place, what testing has been or needs to be done and the ramifications if they are indeed within the protection area. He added that the tires are downhill from the wells. “In my opinion, it’s not jeopardizing the water supply,” McCarthy said. And while the tires are thought to have been there for decades, if the city learns who dumped them there

it may take action on the responsible party. Berry is expected to provide those answers that the city council’s next meeting, June 15. The public works director said, however, that the tires might be gone by then. He’s hoping to remove them as soon as next week. While that’s the desired outcome of all, Edain issued a stern admonishment to city leaders, saying this has become a bigger issue than it needs to be. The clean up will be easy, and it and corrective measures should have been done when it was first pointed out. “Diddling and twiddling for more than a year doesn’t look responsible,” Edain said.

In small communities across the nation, newspaper editors traditionally join the chorus of well-wishers, soothsayers and advice-givers in offering some words of wisdom to those young people venturing out in the world. Giving a commencement speech may seem like a tougher job than ever in this fast-paced world of ever-evolving technology, economic and social turbulence and never-ending global conflict. What do you say to a kid facing a future that seems so different, so much more uncertain than for those who graduated just 15 or 20 years ago? Pretty much the same thing as commencement speakers have told every other generation. Dream big. Don’t give up on yourself. Think outside the box. Work hard. Believe in yourself. Wear sunscreen. Lists of the greatest commencement speeches of all times have largely the same basic message: Take risks in life. JK Rowling told an audience: “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all — in which case, you fail by default.” The old chestnuts are just as relevant — and just as simplistic — today as they ever have been. The truth is, the generations that have passed through South End high schools or any other high school in America have more in common than not. Every generation has its challenges, whether it’s war or prejudice or poverty. The students in the graduating class grew up in the shadow of Sept. 11 and the worst recession in 60 years. But the future is truly bright. The economic clouds have lifted. Social justice is at the forefront of national discussions. Technology has the potential to bring people together in ways never imagined before. There are a lot of great TV shows. And the weather is great. The grads should have a great time and enjoy themselves in the coming days. Just remember not to drink and drive.

Editor, Here we go again! The Washington State Department of Transportation is proposing another ferry increase and potential implementation of a reservation system. I continue to be amazed that more ferry commuters aren’t opposed to yearly increases in fares even when the Mulkiteo and Clinton run is self-sustaining. Perhaps residents aren’t aware of these proposals. The waste and mismanagement of the ferry system as well as WSDOT has been exposed by various news organizations over the past few years and yet no one questions why ferry fare increases have been implemented on a yearly basis. When will this hike end? Can we expect further raises in 2017, 2018, 2019, etc.? Will only the very rich be able to live on the islands? The ferry system is part of the highway system, but the assessed ferry fares are considered separately. Please take the time to protest — loudly. Call your legislators (Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton; Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor; and Rep. David Hays, R-Camano) and provide the feedback before the fares are set on a trajectory of continual rise. Whidbey Island residents have fought reservations in years past; we must do so again if you believe, as I do, that reservations will end up being an obstruction to flexibility, tourism and economic develop-

ment. And by the way, bicycles and walk on passengers are nice but they do not service the needs of the many, especially considering the aged and the need to travel to different and further locations in and around Seattle. PAULETTE BECKER Langley

Editor’s note: A reservation system on the Clintonto-Mukilteo ferry route is not currently proposed.

Obituaries

Dorothy Mae Jones

Dorothy Mae Jones passed away April 23, 2015, at the age of 93, one month shy of her 94th birthday. She fondly returned to West Seattle and lived the last 5 ¼ years of her life at Providence Mount St. Vincent, a skilled nursing facility. We are very grateful for the wonderful care she received at PMSV. Dorothy was born on May 23, 1921 in Crawford, Nebraska. She was raised on a ranch, attended a boarding school, and completed 2 years of college. She was very proud that she was able to attend college, and wore her class ring proudly. Along with her sister Maxine, brother Dick, father Raymond Simons, and half-sisters Zonna and Dionne, she moved to Seattle. She

married her high school sweetheart from Nebraska, Chester Jones. Together they lived in West Seattle and raised one son, Dicky. She worked for many years at Bartell’s drug store in West Seattle. Chet and Dorothy retired to Whidbey Island, where they built their dream home at Possession Shores. They enjoyed a beach life filled with many longtime friendships and a fabulous water and mountain view. She treasured her trip to Europe in 1980 with her niece Diana, which included a visit to Amsterdam, Rome and the Vatican. She was very proud that her great nephews Darin and Douglas were born on her birthday, and that she was the Matron of Honor in the wedding of her great niece Kristin. Dorothy and Chet were very active in their local community, annual county fair, Rod and Gun Club, and at St. Hubert Catholic Church. Dorothy lived at the Garden Court Retirement facility in Everett for several years following her life on Whidbey Island. Dorothy was preceded in death by her son, husband, sister and brother. She will be deeply missed by her nieces, nephews, friends and family members. Everyone will remember Dorothy (and her fashionable hats) as the life of the party, someone you could confide in and laugh with. Dorothy was a proud person, a person of service (tutoring children), who loved her Catholic faith,

Lynn Ruth Randall

Lynn Ruth Randall, age 82, died peacefully in her home on May 30, 2015. Lynn was born on August 14, 1932 to George and Rose Early, who lived in Kenmore where she grew up and attended Bothell High School. Lynn’s first job was working at Wayne Golf Course, where she saved money to buy her horse Penny. Lynn and Penny won many awards

and took great pride at riding in local parades. Lynn attended Washington State University from where she went on to work in accounting management for 40 years. She married Allan Rook in 1956, and they raised three children in the Richmond Beach area, where they attended St Luke’s Catholic Church and Lynn taught Wednesday catechism classes. Lynn worked full time as an office manager and accountant while raising her kids so that the family could buy a cabin on Whidbey Island. She loved the family’s beach cabin at Possession Shores, and whenever she was there, she was often out crabbing and clamming at low tide or back in the log cabin making clam chowder for friends and family. She was an avid bowler while raising her kids and became a member of the National 600 Club. Lynn enjoyed entertaining at home and often invited others in saying, “It’s five o’clock somewhere.” In later years, Lynn developed a passion for golf, duplicate bridge and feline friends. Lynn was a member of the Useless Bay Golf & Country Club on Whidbey Island where she retired and enjoyed the companionship of her golf and bridge buddies, and her cat, Twitter. Lynn is survived by her three children and their

Endorsement

Emerson is right for Langley mayor Editor, I have had both a professional as well as a personal relationship with Sharon Emerson. I have seen the highest quality of leadership as a company owner. In particular, Sharon has integrity of character and is skilled at negotiating difficult situations. I have also personally witnessed her graciously humble herself when realizing she needs to correct a mistake, which is something I value very much. I would highly recommend her as Major of Langley!

TAX BURDEN CONTINUED FROM A1

The county’s tax burden was the 231st lowest in the nation, the study found. That’s good news for Island County’s economy and, especially, small businesses, according to Island County Economic Development Director Ron Nelson. “When it comes to operating your small business, property tax bills can get really expensive very fast,” he said, noting that the county’s average property tax collections are especially low. “It can make the difference when it comes to expending or just staying in business.” Nelson said the comparatively low tax burden should give the county an edge over other counties when it comes to business location. AJ Smith, the managing editor at SmartAsset, said the company’s aim in crunching the numbers is to provide transparency about tax burdens. “The main goal was to provide people with information to keep in mind when they make decisions, whether it’s where they want to live or where they want to move a business,” she said. The entire state seemed to fare well when it comes to taxes, she said.

they had already filed the appropriate paperwork with the agency. Incumbents in particular voiced surprise, saying they filed annual reports with the commission this spring as they have every year during their terms. “No, I did it back in April,” Greene said. “I’m sure everyone did it.” “I did it months ago,” echoed Racicot. “I’m 100 percent sure I did that,” Hadden said.

each county. The estimated fuel tax that the average Island County resident pays is $225. SmartAsset used the national median household income to gauge what the average person would pay in income taxes. Since Washington doesn’t have a state income tax, the amount for all counties is the same at an estimated average of $7,809 a year in federal income tax. Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said the low property tax rate is largely a remnant from past commissioners, who didn’t always increase property taxes by the total amount they could have. State law currently limits the increase to 1 percent, unless residents vote to exceed that. Having a low property tax rate has its advantages, she said. It makes the county a popular place in which to live; the county is often on lists of the best place to retire to. At the same time, she said it makes it difficult to provide government services since many costs increase beyond the 1 percent a year. At some point, the residents may be asked to pay more. “Ultimately, it may be up to the voters to decide what level of service they expect from their county government and how much they are willing to pay for it,” Johnson said.

much money for political campaigns. Nevertheless, Anderson said the rules still apply and are in place for good reason. “Washington really celebrates its open government… this just gives the public the chance to see whether they are or are not raising money,” she said. While Langley’s registered voter count exempts candidates from filing, they will have to begin reporting contributions if they exceed

On the more sincere side, student Vanessa Link said she appreciated the teachers at both the academy and South Whidbey High School, where she took several Advanced Placement courses before wrapping up her credit requirements at the academy. “I want to thank all the teachers at South Whidbey High School and SWA (said like ‘swah’),” Link said. A pair of students were presented with scholarships prior to the ceremony. Link received four at the graduation ceremony, though her name was called 10 times during the district-

wide scholarship night on June 2. Hoping to pursue a degree and career in graphic design, she was awarded $10,800 in all. Celeste Magney received a $500 scholarship from the South Whidbey Commons, where she put in hundreds of hours as a volunteer and intern. The two student speakers offered appreciation for and congratulations to their peers.

its identity, not unlike some of its students. He thanked the teachers and staff who helped his classmates earn their diplomas and encouraged his fellow graduates not to forget them. “If your experience is anything like mine, you’ll remember them fondly,” he said. Madinah Goodson, the other speaker, wove a simile comparing the students to a bunch of cats. Like cats, she said some of them are playful and others just nap. “We are all in different colors, reflecting our different personalities,” she said, referring to the program’s tradition of allowing students to select their own outfit for graduation. This freedom leads to a lot of different colors and looks for the graduates: red, black, white, a cutoff T-shirt and jeans. “Most of us don’t know what we will do in the future, but it’s OK because we have nine lives,” she added. They were symbolically sent into adulthood, the phase when they have their diplomas and are no longer held to the school schedule, by the words of a pair of district adults. Robin Barre, a counselor at the academy, praised them for continuing to find themselves, a quest she said should never end. “These young people we have come to celebrate are warriors in the best sense of the word, and we need them now more than ever,” she said before closing with a quote from poet-author Mary Oliver that included the words, “Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination …” District Superintendent Jo Moccia gave the final

advice and congratulations. She reminded the students that they had earned their diplomas, and they were theirs forever and could not be taken away. The hours, work, tests and presenta-

tions were theirs alone. “Be confident that you have yourself, always,” she said.

South Whidbey man proves a sure shot in Europe By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Competitive speed-shooting champ Mike Gallion is fast. Blisteringly fast. Five targets, five shots, three seconds or less — that’s his average. Not only is that swift enough to rank him among the world’s quickest senior shooters, but it’s earned the Sunlight Beach-area resident dozens of national and international awards over his 15-year competitive career, so many that he’s lost count. Some hang on his walls, others lay in forgotten dusty stacks on the living room table and some are who knows where. “It must be 40 or 50, I guess,” said Gallion with a smile and a shrug. It’s easy to lose track, he says, when you’re hitting a different competition across the state nearly every weekend, nine months out of the year. Competition season begins in spring and runs through fall. “This week I’m here, this

first place in the senior rimfire division and third in a team rimfire event. Despite the lower placement, the latter was especially gratifying. By luck of the draw, his team was made up of seniors — a German, Dutchman and an American (Gallion) — in what was an open-age event. “We were shooting against the top pros in the world and three old guys managed to sneak into third place,” Gallion said. They dubbed themselves “The other guys.” Gallion also took home

an unexpected appreciation award. This is his “sixth or seventh” trip to the competition, and his promotional efforts have increased American participation from just one, himself, to about 10 U.S. shooters. Naturally, the award is a small wooden shoe after the design for which Holland is famous, and is one of Gallion’s new favorites. If you’re still not impressed, know that Gallion is 70, has 20/450 vision without his glasses and suffers from presbyopia, a condition that results in the gradual loss

A lifelong islander, sports editor Jim Waller taught English and journalism in Oak Harbor for 32 years before joining the Whidbey News-Times in 2007. Rain or shine, Jim is on the field, in the bleachers, talking to coaches and players, “I like that sports is usually something that’s special in people’s lives. It’s something they want to do, not that they have to do, so they’re usually pretty passionate about it.” Jim and his wife Sandee raised three boys who attended Oak Harbor schools. They are awaiting the arrival of their second grandchild.

of the eyes’ ability to focus on nearby objects. He’s the founder of the International Steel Shooters Association, a non-profit corporation that works to promote, facilitate, and fund new shooter, junior, and firearms safety programs across the globe. He’s also a long time South Whidbey resident, and former longtime president of The Fishin’ Club. He put down his club gavel last year, however, and focuses most of his time these days on competitive shooting. He got into the sport by accident after buying an old .22 caliber handgun. It was missing parts, but getting “one more thing to tinker with” was part of the appeal. In short order, the gun was ready to shoot and he headed up to a Coupeville range to give it a go. As fate would have it, a competition was being held that same day and he left with a second place win. For those who know him, that’s no surprise. “He has a natural talent,” said Larry Davis, a Selah resident. Gallion and Davis, 67, met about five years ago at a range near Yakima. Davis was just picking up the sport and Gallion took him under his wing, serving as a mentor. Today, they’re both friends, and “competitors.” “He’s the only guy who beats me regularly,” Gallion said. “I keep telling him he has no respect for his elders — namely me.” According to Davis, one of the cool things about speed shooting is people’s willingness to share their secrets. Gallion exemplifies that giving spirit, from his founding of the steel shooters association to his knack of keeping even the toughest competitions light with his sense of humor and fun personality. As for Gallion, he said competitions have taken him all over the world but it’s the people that make the sport so enjoyable. He called it a “fraternity or brotherhood” of friends who share a common love of speed shooting. And when you’re only trying to beat your own personal best — Gallion’s personal approach to competitions — sharing secrets and knowledge is easy. “It doesn’t matter where I go, I always have the same competition,” Gallion said. said.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: GEMINI, CANCER AND LEO.

Week of June 7 to 13, 2015 ARIES

You make an important decision after careful consideration. You may not always be the most patient of people, but you must follow all the necessary steps in order to realize a long-term project.

TAURUS

Your plans may change at the last minute. Your friends could cancel a rather strange activity, but youâ€™ll actually enjoy the unexpected peace and relaxation.

GEMINI

You organize an event that brings together lots of people. Thanks to you, this housewarming or birthday party is a huge success.

CANCER

You have access to information regarding a training course that could lead to a fairly spectacular promotion at work.

LEO

If you have young children, you may be asking yourself about activities that will keep them busy during the summer holidays. Take the time to choose a day camp that suits them.

VIRGO

Youâ€™re fairly successful, at work or elsewhere, because you take the time to negotiate and ask questions when concluding an agreement.

LIBRA

Whatever the project, you absolutely have to take the time to settle all the little details and organize all the preparations that are necessary for realizing a brilliant achievement.

SCORPIO

There are other, more proud Zodiac signs, but itâ€™s important for you to be respected by others. You manage to distinguish yourself and may even make others admire you.

SAGITTARIUS

A birth could be announced in the family. If youâ€™re planning on moving, youâ€™ll need to revamp the dĂŠcor so itâ€™s more in line with your image.

CAPRICORN

You speak your mind, and you may also be the recipient of some important secrets simply because youâ€™re a very discreet and trustworthy person.

AQUARIUS

Your comings and goings may take slightly longer this week. You may have to take on the role of taxi driver more than once. Arm yourself with a good map or a GPS, and note down the directions before you leave.

PISCES

If you need to make some major purchases, take the time to think about them for more than a day prior to the transaction. You may even be able to negotiate a better price.

Dogs

Coupeville homeowner snaps picture of rare white deer Ralph Becker photo

A white deer trots across a lawn in Coupeville.

A south Coupeville couple were visited by a rare guest this week when a white deer stopped by their home orchard for breakfast. Ralph Becker, who lives on Elwood Drive just north of Greenbank, said the

fawn spent Monday morning grazing in their orchard with its mother and sibling. The young deer wasn’t much for cameras, however, and departed after Becker snapped a photo for his scrap book. “After I took the shot,

the white one took off into the woods, leaving the rest of the family to follow,” wrote Becker, in an email to The Record. Becker said white deer are rare and was happy to share the image with the newspaper.

‘Earth, Wind, or Fire’-themed contest winner to be featured in Langley gallery Clear your memory cards photographers, a Langley fine art gallery is hosting a photo contest and the winner will have their work on display at the shop all July. Organized by The Poppybank Gallery, a First Street gallery specializing in photographic art, the contest theme is “Earth, Wind, or Fire.” “We’ve had lots of enthusiastic photographers enter our gallery looking to ‘talk shop,’” said Manager Leslie Evans, in a news release. “We thought this could be a fun way to reach out to both the local and greater community and let them show us their talent.” Evans and her co-owner/husband, photographer Christopher Evans, will narrow the submissions to a set of semi-finalists with the grand-prize winner to be chosen by public vote on Facebook. The winning photo will be professionally printed and framed, then displayed at The Poppybank Gallery during the month of July. Photographers should submit their photos via the gallery’s Facebook page, where the Photo Contest link can be found. A direct link to the entry form is http:// woobox.com/bduriy. Submission deadline is June 15, and contest entrants must be 13 years of age or older. Business hours for The Poppybank Gallery are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
