Mystery WeekendBy BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

As has happened for three decades, hun-dreds of amateur sleuths will flood Langley’s streets and shops, searching for clues to solve a fictitious murder this weekend.

Around a couple of joined tables

at Useless Bay Coffee Co., four regular Langley Mystery Weekend performers in their costumes met with the story’s creator, Loretta Martin, to go over some final details of their roles and back stories.

Donning attire that would befit an Old West saloon more than a Puget Sound cof-

fee house, complete with playing cards, overalls and frontier-type hats, one per-former, a retired tech professional and for-mer South Whidbey school board member, notes that they don’t stand out too much.

South End crash claims one, injures anotherAlcohol a suspected factor, state police investigate survivor for vehicular homicide

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

Freeland is mourning the loss of one of its own this week.

Timothy Keil, 61, was killed in a head-on collision on South Whidbey Saturday. The accident occurred in the evening on Highway 525 near the intersection of

Coles Road. Keil was pronounced dead at the scene.He is survived by his wife, Mary Jo, children and

grandchildren.“It’s just a terrible tragedy,” said Pastor Jim Lindus,

of Trinity Lutheran Church. “We have a community that’s heartbroken.”

Keil retired about 15 months ago from a career with the City of Bothell. A member of Trinity’s congrega-tion, he was getting into a new rhythm of life, spending time with family and volunteering with the church, Lindus said.

Marina study reveals anchor line problem on new docks

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

Underwater lines that anchor the new South Whidbey Harbor marina floats in place are rubbing and beginning to show signs of chafing.

And according to the Port of South Whidbey, it’s because they were installed incorrectly.

Port officials have asked Friday Harbor-based Mike Carlson Enterprises, Inc., to fix the problem. Responsibility may be a matter of debate, however, as the firm indicated in recent correspon-dence to port attorneys that the work was done as specified and approved.

Who will pay for the fix also remains unclear. In the correspondence, the con-tractor agreed the situation should be remedied, but the letter did not make clear whether the bill would be covered under the contract’s warranty, which is for a period of one year, according to the port’s law firm, Everett-based Anderson Hunter Law Firm.

“The position of the port is that the work to rectify the alignment of the lines, the damage to the poly line and chains, as well as the lack of properly positioned high density polyethylene sleeves is all warranty work, the remedy for which is that the work is properly brought into consistency with the contract specifica-tions,” wrote Bradford Cattle, of Everett-based Anderson Hunter Law Firm.

Edward “Ed” Halloran, a Langley resident, received the 2015 Award of Merit from SME (formerly the Society

of Manufacturing Engineers), according to a recent press release.

Halloran, also a Port of South Whidbey Commissioner, is being recognized due to his dedication to promoting specific manufacturing technologies and for his work mentoring and interacting with young people to educate them as to the importance of manufacturing and related careers, according to the release.

SME is a non-profit organization which “con-nects all those who are passionate about making things that improve our world,” according to the release.

SME selected five members to receive the award. SME President Wayne F. Frost said of the volunteers, “Their dedica-tion to SME is unparal-leled and illustrates how our members help set SME apart from other organizations.”

The other four recipi-ents were Louis Dorworth of Reno, Nev.; You-Min Huang of Taipei, Taiwan; Don Patz of Seminole, Fla.; and Jerry Walters of Franklin, Tenn.

Halloran is the president and owner of HALCO Management Systems. He retired from the Northrop Grumman Corporation after work-ing for over 45 years in professional manufactur-ing leadership.

A South Whidbey man accused of stabbing another man in the leg during a rob-bery Jan. 1 managed to get himself into more trouble while in jail, according to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office.

Kevin Brown, 37, appeared in Island County Superior Court on Feb. 9.

Deputy Prosecutor Chris Anderson asked the judge to revoke Brown’s bail because he had attempted to make third-party contact with the victim and witnesses, a viola-tion of court orders.

Brown called friends from the jail and asked them to contact the victim and wit-nesses for him, according to Anderson.

Brown was being held on $50,000 bail.

Brown’s attorney didn’t dispute the recommendation.

Judge Vickie Churchill agreed and revoked Brown’s bail, which means he’ll remain in jail until the case is resolved.

In addition, Anderson amended the charges against Brown to assault in the sec-ond degree, robbery in the first degree and tampering with a witness.

According to court records, Brown was at the victim’s house with other people, including his girl-friend, on the night of the attack.

The victim went into his bedroom to look for shoes and Brown followed him in. He allegedly struck the 42-year-old man over the head with a large glass lamp, knocking him down, accord-ing to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Brown told the victim to give him “everything you got” and pulled out a large knife; the man threw his wal-let at Brown, the sheriff’s office reported.

When Brown bent to pick up the wallet, the resident kicked at him and Brown

stabbed him in the leg. Brown and his girlfriend then fled, according to Wallace.

Deputies tracked the pair to a travel trailer parked beside a Delphi Street house. The girlfriend exited the trail-er, but Brown refused repeat-ed commands to come out.

A search warrant was obtained and members of the Island County Sheriff’s Office warrant service team entered the trailer and locat-ed Brown hiding under a pile of blankets between the mattress and the wall, the sheriff’s office reported in a press release.

County commission-ers are planning to adopt a short-term critical areas ordinance to meet a court-ordered deadline.

At their Tuesday, Feb. 17 meeting, the Island County board of commissioners expect to set a public hear-ing on a temporary critical areas ordinance for 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 24.

This ordinance has been under serious scrutiny since members of the Whidbey Environmental Action Network filed a lawsuit in 2006 saying critical areas, like wetlands and habitats, were not properly protected in agricultural areas.

A Thurston County judge agreed with them last March and ordered that the county

update its critical areas ordi-nance by this year.

The commissioners are instead opt-ing to adopt an interim m e a s u r e which is a l l o w e d under the G r o w t h Management Act, accord-ing to P l a n n i n g D i r e c t o r D a v i d Wechner.

“The focus of this effort it to give us a quick fix that is in com-pliance with the Growth Management Hearings Board that allows us the time to look at things in a more comprehensive fash-

ion,” Wechner said.Wechner said that this lat-

est incarnation of the critical areas ordi-nance was a d o p t e d in Clallam C o u n t y a n d p a s s e d m u s t e r with the Hearings Board.

U n d e r the tem-p o r a r y o r d i -n a n c e , e x i s t i n g

and ongo-ing agricultural properties zoned as commercial agri-culture and rural agriculture will be exempt from the criti-cal areas ordinance, if best management practices are

used. In addition, agricul-tural activities designated as rural will be exempt if they are enrolled in a state agriculture tax program or are subject to a conservation easement.

The exemption will apply to properties that both use best management practices and pre-existed the original 1998 ordinance.

“It’s a Band-Aid,” said Commissioner Jill Johnson. “It’s more specific than what we had before.”

Marianne Edain of WEAN said Thursday the organiza-tion is not happy with what appears to be the county’s repeated delays on the ordi-nance.

“This is the minimum to get off the hot seat and kick it down the line one more time,” Edain said.

Edain said she fears the

county has left too many of the more complex issues until the last minute, giving the public little time to con-sider them properly.

“We’ve been through so many of these processes, the easy ones have been picked out and all the gnarly ones are lumped into the Comprehensive Plan of 2016,” Edain said. “That’s my unhappy prediction.”

The original ordinance

was adopted in 1998, and the group challenged the county’s treatment of wet-lands on farmland in 2000 and won.

In that case, the Hearings Board agreed in that case that exempting all agricul-ture from wetland protec-tion without qualification was contrary to the Growth Management Act.

Board to meet with district staff

The South Whidbey School District Board of Directors will meet with transportation, mainte-nance and district office staff to thank them for a job well done and to update them on district-wide accomplishments next week.

The meeting will take place at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18 in the South Whidbey Elementary School com-

munity room. Board members recent-

ly held informal breakfast meetings at both South Whidbey Elementary and Langley Middle School for the same purpose.

Amphitheater talk continues

The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District will discuss matters such as its Comprehensive Plan

programs, a memoran-dum of understanding for parks groups and a reaffirmation of its inter-local agreement with the South Whidbey School District at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18.

As a part of the Comprehensive Plan discussion, the board members will revisit the discussion about the installation of an amphi-theater.

Carrie Monforte, programs coordinator, emphasized that they are still in the initial brain-storming and planning stages for an amphithe-ater. She said that the installation would not take place any time in the near future.

In regard to the discus-sion of the parks district’s inter-local agreement with the South Whidbey

School District, the board of directors will be pri-marily focusing upon the school district’s use of fields belonging to the Parks and Recreation District.

U.S. Rep. Larsen backs estuary bill

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, introduced a bill to improve estuary habitat protections in the House of Representatives on Feb. 12.

With the support of a New Jersey Republican representative, Frank LoBiondo, the bill would reauthorize the National Estuary Program through 2020. Funding from the

program, run by the Environmental Protection Agency, would help local efforts in Washington and across the United States of America protect critical estuaries, accord-ing to a new release from Larsen’s office.

“In the Pacific Northwest, we know that healthy estuaries like the Puget Sound support healthy fish, birds and other wildlife, as well as important economic activity such as trade, fishing, tourism and out-door recreation,” Larsen said in the statement. “In addition to improv-ing salmon habitat, restoring estuaries can have important carbon sequestration effects, as a report last year about the Snohomish Estuary found. Currently planned and in-progress restora-tion projects will result in at least 2.55 million tons of CO2 sequestered from the atmosphere over the next 100 years. This is the equivalent of a year’s worth of emissions from half a million automo-biles.”

Prosecutor refutes mistake

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks claims he did not steal money from a dead woman’s purse, contrary to what a regional TV news station reported.

“I categorically deny it,” he said.

Colleagues in Banks’

office have been ribbing him since a story on the KIRO website inadver-tently mixed up the pros-ecutor and the defendant in a story about Doug Saar, a former Oak Harbor attorney who was sen-tenced to prison earlier this month for stealing from clients.

During the hearing, Banks said that Saar stole from a dead woman’s purse.

KIRO, however, report-ed that, “Banks even stole money from a dead cli-ent’s purse.”

The KIRO story also said that Banks stole from a family’s trust after the father died; Saar was actually convicted of that crime.

Banks said he asked KIRO to correct the story.

“Someday I’ll try to get another job and they’ll do a Google search and find this,” he said jok-ingly.

The KIRO story now has an editor’s note stat-ing that “Greg Banks is the prosecutor and Doug Saar is the defendant.”

CREW.

Prosecutor Greg Banks

“It’s hard to be too weird for Langley,” Fred O’Neal said.

The get-together is far more about minutiae than it is the skeleton of each char-acter. Having played the same Mystery Weekend role for years, each person — not one of whom are pro-fessional or even amateur thespians — knows exactly what they’ll do Saturday, Feb. 21, and Sunday, Feb. 22.

That’s because Martin, the architect of the week-end and main writer/direc-tor/organizer for 16 years, has been working on this one weekend since last year’s event wrapped up. Between sips of a soy latte, she’s already coming up with some ideas about next year’s mystery.

As the author of Mystery Weekend, which organizers claim is the longest-running one in the country, Martin is part-Agatha Christie, part-Silicon Valley entre-preneur — worried about the user’s experience, part-Lorne Michaels of “Saturday Night Live.” She has to come up with a mur-der and all of the characters and their stories, consider how the experience will play out for visitors (whom she calls sleuths), and rely on the performers to know the story well enough to improvise information when clever visitors ask tough questions.

“She’s really great,” said Marc Esterly, executive director for the Langley Chamber of Commerce, which runs the event.

She started brainstorm-ing in earnest in September 2014, “got serious” and put pen to paper (actually, fingertips to keyboard) in December, and is putting the finishing touches on it the week before the event.

All 23 of the performers

are volunteers, and any one of them could be Phyllis Thriller’s faux murderer. Most of what they do is take some base information from Martin then expand, twist, embellish, and flat-out lie to cast doubt on another character for the sleuths to suspect of the homicide. A lot of their interactions are improvisational, said performers Chris Williams, Steve Sloan, Mac Shearer and O’Neal.

“The trick is to make it interesting for people,” said Williams, whose soft, English accent could eas-ily dissuade someone ques-tioning her about the faux killing. “You’re lying all the time.”

Through essentially a full-time work shift (10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday), the performers stay in char-acter as people search for them and for clues in at least 30 stores throughout town. Even when they grab

a bite to eat, they’re subject to questioning.

“When you’re at lunch, you’re still on because peo-ple will find you,” O’Neal said.

“It’s not the hours,” he added, referring to the day’s difficulties. “It’s that it’s February.”

One of the characters won’t face any of those chal-lenges and does not have a single line of dialogue - the Dog House Tavern. Martin used Langley’s historic and closed old tavern on First Street as the site of the fake murder, pulling from the headlines a la “Law & Order” about the city’s previous struggle with the building’s owners over building on property actu-ally owned by the city. It won’t be open, but caution tape will mark the scene of the crime on the exterior.

Over the course of two days, Langley will be flush with visitors trying to solve a case of whodunit. Esterly said he looked at records from 1999 on and saw it has steadily drawn about 1,000 visitors.

Two of the city’s promi-nent inns reported they were fully or nearly fully-booked for Feb. 21-22. Alice Jovich said the Inn at Langley only had two rooms available that week-end, though most week-ends throughout the winter are busy for the First Street lodge.

At the Saratoga Inn, own-er-manager Jim Pensiero said its 37-person capac-

ity is regularly booked for Mystery Weekend. Through many of the win-ter weekends, rooms are available for rent — but not the third weekend of February.

“It fills up every year,” said Pensiero, who has owned it for 20 years and managed it for the past eight years. “Most of the time, or 90 percent of the time, it’s the same people

year over year. They book the same room. If some-body else gets in before them, they get angry about them.”

When people arrive at the chamber office, some-one tallies the number of people participating by ask-ing how many are in the group.

In 2014, 840 people bought tickets, which guar-anteed them at least one

chance to win a handful of prizes. Esterly and the chamber estimated 1,100 people tried to crack the case.

“It was surprising that the number of attendees was right around a thou-sand,” he said.


Analyze Price

Carefully!What’s the right price to pay

for your next home? How can you be sure the price you are being asked to pay is fair? Who sets the price?

The asking price is set by the owners, and should be based on accurate information about other homes recently sold, as well as those for sale now. This information is helpful in establishing a price that is neither above nor below “fair market value”

When priced at “fair market” a home may sell quickly and a full price. This occurs because buyers recognize the value offered by the home in relation to the price asked. There is often brisk competition among buyers for a home in excellent condition offered at a competitive price.

Buyers can determine whether a home is priced fairly using the same methods as an agent – by comparison Establish criteria for your purchase, i.e. number of rooms, location, price range, square footage, etc. Once you know the parameters within which you will make sure your purchase, ask the agent to show you homes that match your list of features and amenities.

See a variety of homes, compare size, features and location versus asking price. Certain homes will stand out because they offer added value for the price. Ask questions, compare and your pricing concerns can disappear leading to the wise purchase of the right home.

“It’s No Laughing Murder”

Solve the case of Phyllis Thriller’s murder in Langley’s 31st annual Mystery Weekend.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, across 30-plus stores in Langley.

Clue maps cost $10 for adults 16-64, $8 for seniors, military and youths.

To help identify the culprit, read The Langley Gazette for details about the crime and other goings-on in the alternate mystery real-ity. Search for suspects throughout town to question them, but not everything they say is

true. Submit solutions

to the Langley Visitor Information Center, 208 Anthes Ave. Correct sub-missions are entered into a grand prize drawing, and all other ballots are eligible for other prizes.

The correct answer will be posted online by 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23.

In response Hospital needs public reminder Editor,

Does Ms. Tarrant of Whidbey General Hospital Board of Directors under-stand that WGH is a public hospital? Telling The Record reporter, “Tarrant said she considered it inappropriate for a newspaper reporter to ask her questions about the new CEO’s contract,” is, in my opinion, inappropriate. Once that contract is signed that contract becomes pub-lic information anyway. It is only natural that a reporter would ask the question. The hospital continually asks the voters for more money —we care where that money is spent. The fact that the hospital has not followed state law by not reporting

their financial information to the state for several years alone makes me want to know where is the money being spent. My next ques-tion would be, “Since Mr. Tomasino is leaving earlier than anticipated, what will be his severance package? Will you spend tax-payers’ money to pay him through October?”

DONNA TAYLORFreeland

Alarmed by C-section rate Editor,

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the letter to the editor in last Wednesday’s newspa-per expressing alarm about the 2013 cesarean section (C-section) rate at Whidbey General Hospital. By the end of 2013 we were involved in efforts to reduce the

C-section rate by participat-ing in the LEAPT project which was sponsored by the Washington State Hospital Association and featured in last week’s “People” sec-tion of this paper. This qual-ity improvement project had several aims: delaying hos-pital admission until women are actively laboring, reduc-ing labor inductions and expectantly managing labor, which contributed to a 25 percent reduction in cesar-ean deliveries for first-time moms in 2014. Whidbey General Hospital doesn’t cur-rently offer VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), due to the difficulties hospitals our size have in meeting recom-mended requirements to safely do so. In spite of this, our overall cesarean rate continues to be lower than the national average. This demonstrates how commit-ted our doctors, midwifes

and nurses are to improving the health and wellbeing of families in our community. I would welcome anyone desiring more information on this topic to contact me.

Let mourning have its moment before justice

Editor’s column

A Freeland man was killed in a head-on collision Saturday eve-ning, struck by what police sus-pect was a drunk driver.

His name was Tim Keil. In the 10 years I’ve been in the

news business, I’ve covered plenty of tragedies — too many for such a short period. One would think I might have learned something along the way, some wisdom to pass on to a community wracked with grief. But as I write this col-umn Tuesday morning, I realize

I’ve got nothing, no wisdom, no beautiful words, only a solemn wish that I did.

Like anyone else, I know only that Keil’s death was senseless. Awful. It was a mistake that never should have happened. In an instant, his life was taken and the lives of so many others were altered in ways most of us simply can’t appreciate.

Since the collision, a host of people have offered their thoughts, their grief, their prayers, their heartbreak and their anger in online comments on The Record’s website. Many want answers. Many want justice. Who can blame them?

The driver of the other vehicle, Clinton resident Michelle Nichols, is suspected of being under the influence and is under investigation by state police for vehicular homicide. That the conversation would turn to fault and punishment was no surprise. It always does.

I don’t know that anyone can really say that such discus-sion is unwarranted. A man died. Why and what will hap-pen next is certainly relevant.

But, as several people noted online, the evidence is still being gathered. Speculation, rumor and unfounded state-ments of guilt are rarely useful. People are mad, and right-fully so, but there will be plenty of time in the weeks and months ahead for justice, particularly if Nichols is formally charged and tried for vehicular homicide.

Perhaps, at least this week, we should all let South Whidbey grieve and process what has happened. In par-ticular, let’s remember Tim. He was a father, a husband, a grandfather and by all accounts, a gentle and kind soul.

The man was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, was active in His Hands Extended (a program that helps Seattle’s needy) and was dedicated to helping suffering alcoholics achieve sobriety.

The loss of Keil is indeed a loss for all South Whidbey.

SEE LETTERS, A7

By JUSTIN BURNETT

cart or a funicular would work better to help local boaters get their supplies to and from the marina, maybe a funicular would “win” the discussion. But what if boaters wouldn’t do either one, but just contin-ue to use their cars, because that was by far the fastest and easiest way? Then both funiculars and golf carts are irrelevant.

Through public records requests, the city claims to have given copies of all infor-mation regarding the funicu-lar/elevator. If that’s true, the city has never polled boaters regarding their needs, nor asked groups that represent disabled persons about their needs and preferred solu-tions.

There are nine such claims of benefits/needs that the city has made in grant applica-tions, public meetings, in the paper, and verbally. Of those nine, only three are definitely true.

When large groups come to the marina, we need a way of getting people who may have disabilities up and down the hill.

Individuals with disabili-ties, coming by small boat or otherwise, sometimes need help to get up and down the hill.

A funicular, because it would also function as an amusement ride, would attract more visitors to Langley. Whether that’s the best way to attract visitors is another question.

I don’t have room in this letter to list and discuss all nine claims, but I put them on a webpage, langleytram.com. If you are interested, visit and comment or add your facts. Hopefully the city will add facts and comments too.

Together we can gather the information we need to make a good decision.

SHARON EMERSONLangley

Clipper claims are out of touch Editor,

Mr. Darrell Bryan of Clipper Vacations wrote a let-ter saying a funicular should be considered as a tourist attraction and as transport for the mobility impaired.

His reasons and the infor-mation he provided do not make sense in support of a funicular.

Although it is debatable whether a funicular would be a tourist attraction, it is ridicu-lous to use $500,000 of tax-payer money for that purpose. Grant money is for a need not a tourist attraction.

The Record noted in late November when plans were made for the Clipper’s tours that Mr. Bryan cited one single reason why the Clipper had discontinued vis-its to Langley and that was difficulties maneuvering in the harbor. Mr. Bryan did not express any concerns for the Wharf Street hill or the handling of the few mobil-ity impaired passengers. The Clipper has committed to five visits. Surely, if the Wharf Street hill had been a major concern, the Clipper would have stated so. Mr. Bryan now says that golf carts may not be fully ADA (Americans

with Disabilities Act) compli-ant. He was aware earlier that golf carts were being used yet had voiced no concerns.

However Mr. Bryan learned of the funicular and was motivated to write. He seems unaware that: 1) the proposed funicular station on Cascade Avenue creates an 1,100-foot walk to the near-est destination in town on the bluff side, much farther than from the base of Wharf Street; 2) Cascade Avenue is sloped to such an extent that many with physical chal-lenges could not comfortably proceed; 3) no pedestrian crosswalks or curbs exist in much of Langley for the mobility impaired; and 4) no parking lot will be adjacent to the Cascade Avenue station for those with mobility issues. Hence, the claim that a funic-ular is the solution for ADA accessibility completely fails.

The mobility-challenged will face a steeper ascent up the marina gangplank during

low tide than up the Wharf Street hill. ADA accessibility of the gangplank is apparently not an issue.

Few are fooled by claims that ADA compliance is best

achieved with a funicular. ADA accessibility is not a pri-ority in Langley unless it suits someone’s agenda.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A6

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

South Whidbey High School will be represented at the wrestling tourna-ment in Tacoma this week-end.

The Falcons reached the Mat Classic with at least one wrestler, sophomore Hunter Newman, who fin-ished in second place in his weight.

Having a 10th grader qualify for the state tourna-ment was a first for head coach Jim Thompson, who has led the program for 12 years.

“To me, even as a junior, it’s a big deal,” Thompson said.

Newman won his first two 1A Region 1 tourna-ment matches to reach the 132-pound division cham-pionship at Meridian High School on Feb. 14. First, he bested Port Townsend sophomore Henr y Veitenhans with a quick pin in 1:35 — still in the first of three periods. In the semi-finals, Newman took down Klahowya senior Devin Steele in a 6-0 win.

Facing top-ranked 1A 132-pound Sultan sopho-more Jamell Carroll for the second time in two weeks, Newman fell in 2:51.

“I was very optimistic about his chance to go to state,” Thompson said.

Josh McElhinny, a Falcon senior, will attend the tournament as an alter-nate in the 138. He lost his first-round bout to Vashon Island sophomore Bryce Hoisington, who pinned McElhinny in 3:54.

The Falcon senior bat-

tled back in the consola-tion bracket, facing an end to his wrestling career with another loss. He beat Klahowya junior Gavin Hamblet with a pin in 4:47. Sultan senior Gavyn Baird fended off McElhinny 6-2 to stay on track for a guar-anteed state berth as a top-four finisher.

Fighting to be the next man up in case someone in the top four can’t qual-ify this coming weekend, McElhinny grappled to a 4-0 win over Nooksack Valley sophomore Michael O’Bryan.

“Anything can happen,” Thompson said. “Last year, three kids didn’t make weight.”

Falcon senior Will Holbert was eliminated after two matches. In the 126-pound division, Holbert fell to the eventual second-place finisher Hunter Burger, a Vashon Island freshman. The bout was close, with Burger getting the pin in the final period at 5:09. Dropped to the con-solation bracket, Holbert

was narrowly edged 4-3 by Sultan junior Dalton Miller.

South Whidbey had qual-ified four wrestlers for the 1A Region 1 tournament, but only three competed on Saturday. Madison Evans, a 160-pound junior, was deemed ineligible after a skin irritation was observed by the referees. Despite having a doctor’s note and approval that it was a non-communicable condition, the refs barred him from the competition because the note did not specify the afflicted area.

“We got caught off guard,” Thompson said. “He had a shot.”

Newman and McElhinny will travel with coaches Paul Newman (Hunter’s dad) and Thompson to Tacoma for the three-day tourna-ment on Thursday. Until then, Thompson said they will work on Newman’s footwork and takedowns.

“He’s gotta go out and wrestle, and takedowns are so important,” Thompson said.

Basketball clinic open to youths

Young basketball play-ers can learn from South Whidbey High School

coaches and players at three upcoming clinics in March, April and May.

Led by Falcon head coach Michael Washington, the clinics are scheduled for March

14, April 25 and May 16 at the high school gym.

Players are asked to bring a ball, a water bottle and proper athletic attire.

The clinic is open to players from second to eighth grade and costs $20 per session or $50 for all three. Registration is due March 12.

Email any questions to Washington at mwashing [email protected].

South Whidbey’s seventh/eighth-grade boys basketball team cleaned house over the weekend against Anacortes and Everett.

The Junior Falcons, a select basketball team designed to be a feeder program for the high school squad, extended their win streak to four games after win-ning both games in La Conner.

South Whidbey beat Anacortes 25-14 in the first game, and dropped Everett 40-26 in the second game. The Junior Falcons’ head coach, Erik Jokinen, said South Whidbey beat Everett’s press defense and was led by Blaine Leroy’s 70-percent shooting and nine rebounds and Levi Buck, who made half of his shots.

Hunter Newman, right, spars with Jack Nielsen earlier this year.

Newman qualifies for Mat Classic

He was especially active with His Hands Extended program, which works to feed and cloth Seattle’s homeless twice a month. He was a dedicated sup-porter and volunteer for the charity, according to Lindus.

“He was a great guy,” he said. “He had a soft and tender heart.”

“I just can’t say enough nice things about Tim,” Lindus added.

Thomas Beard, also of Freeland, was a friend of Keil’s for about 20 years. He described him as a father, a grandfather, a friend and, to some, a mentor. When he asked how you were doing, he really wanted to know, Beard said.

“He was a caring, gentle soul,” he said.

The other driver in the crash was Michelle Nichols of Clinton. She was airlift-ed to Harborview Medical

Center in Seattle from the accident scene. She was in intensive care Sunday and her condition has since been down-g r a d e d from “seri-ous” to “sat-isfactor y,” a hospital s p o k e s -w o m a n confirmed Tuesday.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the accident hap-pened at 8:40 p.m. Nichols, 46, was southbound on Highway 525 in a white 1988 Ford Van and had just passed Coles Road when her vehicle collided with the guardrail on the right side of the state route. The van then crossed the cen-terline and stuck a north-bound vehicle, a silver 1993 Honda Accord, driven by Keil.

Keil, 61, died at the scene. His next of kin were notified by a state trooper

and the Island County coro-ner, a press memo said.

According to the release, the cause of the crash was

c r o s s i n g the cen-t e r l i n e ; alcohol is believed to have been i n v o l v e d , and Nichols is under invest iga -tion for v e h i c u l a r

homicide, the memo said.“At the time of the acci-

dent there was an odor

of alcohol,” said Trooper Mark Francis, spokesman for the Washington State Patrol in a follow-up inter-view.

He added that police obtained a search warrant to take blood samples to determine her blood/alcohol content level. The results won’t be determined for several weeks, but she was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide that night, he said.

Nichols is a family woman with several children, and is a longtime bus driver for the South Whidbey School

District, according to her Facebook page.

The affected section of the highway was closed at Craw and Maxwelton roads. An emergency landing zone was set up on the highway and an air ambulance land-ed and picked up Nichols.

The scene was processed by Highway Patrol accident technicians, police said.

The closure lasted about four and half hours.

Other Moves to showcase dancers’ talent

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Niki Greene, age 14, is brimming with excitement as she talks about her upcoming performance with the Island Dance Performing Team.

Greene has been with the school since the age of five; this is her first year on the team, an opportunity she’s had her sights on for over two years.

“Everything fell into place,” she said.

Greene will be join-ing fellow Island Dance Performing Team members and guests at the upcoming annual Other Moves dance showcase, which features a variety of dance styles rang-ing from hip hop to lyrical, jazz and contemporary.

Performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 at the South Whidbey High School Auditorium Theater.

In addition to it being a venue for community mem-bers and Island Dance per-formers to take to the stage to demonstrate their artistry, the showcase is a major fun-draiser for the performing team.

Funds raised from the event will be used to offset the costs of competitions throughout the year. They include travel expenses,

entrance fees and costumes. Jamee Pitts, artistic direc-

tor and choreographer, stressed that the team is less focused on winning competi-tions and more upon build-ing the dancers’ skill sets and showcasing their team-work, tenacity and passion.

“We aren’t going there and saying, ‘I’m going to win first place; I’m going to win

double-platinum,’ ” Pitts said. “We’re going and saying, ‘I’m going to share my gift and my love for dance; and I’m going to share my story with the audience; and I can’t wait to get the judges’ critique to better myself.’ ”

The team was created by Susan Vanderwood as a means for intermediate dancers who were not quite

ready to join the professional Whidbey Island Dance Theater company to get a lit-tle more out of the school, a sort of “next edge,” towards a dance career.

Competition was never really the focus, which Pitts says is somewhat unique to Island Dance due to it being home to a school, profes-sional dance company and

performance team rather than one of these alone.

Pitts has been dancing since age three, and has been the director of the per-formance team for five years.

Her teaching style and philosophy are indicative of her emphasis upon educa-tion and artistry, as is her bond with the girls.

“She’s not like any ordi-nary teacher,” said Chyler White, age 11. White explained that Pitts’ patience and sense of humor are two of the qualities which make her a good teacher.

White has been dancing with the school since age three, and joined the team two years ago.

Thus far, she estimates she’s been in about seven competitions, including nationals in 2014.

“It was really exciting, and really fun,” she said of the nationals competition. “We got to go to California, and I got to share that experience with the whole team.”

It was the first time Pitts had taken the team to a national competition.

“It was definitely an expe-rience,” said Pitts, explaining that if she is to take the team to a future national event, she will likely choose one less competition centric, a more educational and “con-vention-based” event.

Pitts began teaching and choreographing at the age of 16, and said that in innu-merable ways, dancing has guided her throughout her life.

“I would jokingly say it is free counseling,” Pitts said.

“Dance helped me grow up,” she added.

For White, too, dance has been a boon to her personal growth.

She’s always been a bit shy, she said, and joining the team has helped her to enhance both her per-formance and social skills. She said that this is largely due to the team’s close-knit structure.

“That’s the best part about it,” she said.

Her styles of choice are lyrical and contemporary, both of which require “a lot of emotion” in order to portray the character and convey the message associ-ated with the dance.

Greene and White also said they particularly enjoy the lyrical style, which they demonstrated during class Thursday evening.

Greene explained that the style is characterized as being similar to ballet with additional jazz and modern influences.

“I like to make it more personal … so that I can project with my own story,” she said.

White noted that the style evokes a “good vibe,” and concurred that it is an ave-nue of emotional expression.

“It’s important that my pieces have a strong mes-sage, and can really reach the audience and touch somebody,” said Pitts of her choreography.

Pitts choreographed 12 dances for Other Movies including nine for the per-forming team, as well as two for the South Whidbey High School show choir “Music in Motion,” and another, a duet for herself and a fellow teacher.

Danielle Wilkins and Daniel Wilkins and Christine Monaghan also choreo-graphed pieces, as did Marta Mulholland, who will per-form her aerial ribbon act.

Tickets cost $12 in advance and $15 at the door and can be purchased in advance at Island Dance and Gymnastics by calling 360-341-1282 or at the office at 714 Camano Ave.

comment.The $1.7 million project

added about 330 feet of new dock space to the existing marina and was officially completed in April 2014. The problem with the anchor-ing lines was discovered in September when the port, working on another dock project, had the facil-ity surveyed by Seattle-based Collins Engineers, Inc.

The firm’s structural con-dition assessment report determined the general condition of the facility to be “good” and “satisfactory,” but did find five anchor lines that secure the new docks “D” and “E” to the seafloor to have “varying degrees of abrasion and coating dam-age.” The lines are designed to extend in a crisscross fash-ion and were found to be rub-bing against each other.

Some of the problem lines are chain and had galvaniza-tion — a layer of zinc used to protect steel in marine envi-ronments — rubbed off, and others were synthetic mate-rials that also had abrasion damage.

They were listed in the report as priority one defi-ciencies that are “recom-mended to be repaired within 12 months.”

Fixes included installing low friction protective barrier

coats at chain-to-rope abra-sion areas, and to evaluate solutions for metal-to-metal contact abra-sion areas.

According to port offi-cials, the problem is the result of the criss-crossing lines being installed in the wrong order. They maintain that makes the contractor respon-sible for setting the matter right.

“To me, it’s a warranty issue; it’s real simple,” said Commissioner Curt Gordon, chairman of the board.

“They just need to fix it,” he added.

The actual installation of the lines was performed by Neptune Marine, a subcon-tractor for Mike Carlson Enterprises. The company contends the work was done right, according to a Dec. 30 letter sent to port attorneys.

“We have proof it was installed correctly and we have provided the port with such proof that the work was done properly and inspected as correct,” the letter stated.

The letter was sent by Mike Carlson, president of Carlson Enterprises, but quoted pro-vided correspondence by an unnamed Neptune official. That representative went on to suggest a course of fixing the problems, and said the work could have been done by January.

Port attorneys, however, maintained it was unclear whether the companies

would cover the work under war-ranty. The entities have since agreed to meet with a third-party

mediator to address the issue.

Port Executive Director Angi Mozer said she was optimistic a solution would be identified at the meeting, that

litigation could be avoided.“It’s sounds like everyone

is being reasonable so I think it will be solved through mediation,” she said.

The port may want one line to be replaced, not just reinstalled, and plans are in place to do another underwa-ter inspection soon.

“It’s been a couple of months,” Mozer said. “We just want to make sure every-thing is OK down there.”

A meeting date has not yet been set.
