Island County Deputy Prosecutor Jacqueline Lawrence shows the jury how Linda Gipson, chief nursing offi-cer at the hospital, allegedly grabbed a patient.

Chief nursing officer trial begins

By JESSIE STENSLANDSouth Whidbey Record

The prosecution and defense laid out their arguments Thursday after-noon in the criminal case against a Whidbey General Hospital admin-istrator accused of assaulting a patient last summer.

Jury selection took up most of the day in what the judge has said may be the longest trial at Island County District Court in three decades.

Linda Gipson, the 63-year-old chief nursing officer at Whidbey General Hospital, is facing one count of fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor charge, for allegedly grabbing a mental health patient by the face May 13, according to court documents.

In opening statements, Island

County Deputy Prosecutor Jacqueline Lawrence said Gipson “charged” into the room, grabbed the patient and told her, “You have lost your rights, you have lost your privileges.”

Lawrence emphasized over and over that the patient was in “four-point, locked, medical restraints” and that she had no way to protect herself. She mimed for the jury how Gipson allegedly grabbed the woman by the jaw, calling it “a simple assault.”

“What happened after that simple assault is where it gets compli-cated,” she said.

One of the nurses who was caring for the patient confronted Gipson about the assault; Gipson came up with “a litany of different excuses” —  like she was spitting or trying

to bite — to justify her actions, Lawrence said.

When the nurse refused to accept the excuses, Gipson fired her from the hospital.

Lawrence said Gipson then called 9-1-1 to report that the patient had assaulted a nurse several hours pre-viously; she said the nurse wasn’t injured, didn’t report the incident and didn’t want the police notified.

Gipson made the call, Lawrence said, only after she was confronted by a nurse, the alleged victim and the alleged victim’s father.

On the other side, Gipson’s attor-ney, Andrew Schwarz of Seattle, told the jury repeatedly that the reality of the situation was more

WSP to recommend charges in Valentine’s Day fatal crash

By JUSTIN BURNETT

South Whidbey Record

State police are recom-mending a South Whidbey woman face criminal charges for her role in a fatal two-car crash in February.

Trooper Mark Francis, a Washington State Patrol spokesman, confirmed late Thursday that detec-tives are wrapping up their investigation of the collision and expect to formally for-ward a referral to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office sometime next week. It will recommend that Clinton resi-dent Michelle Nichols, 46, be charged with vehicular homi-cide in the death of Timothy Keil, a 61-year-old Freeland man, the officer said.

Nichols was allegedly under the influence during the Valentine’s Day crash that resulted in Keil’s death, according to the state patrol.

Attempts to reach Nichols by telephone and via Facebook Friday for this story were unsuccessful.

Details and findings of the agency’s investigation, however, are not yet avail-able. Police investigations are not disclosable under state records laws until they are formally complete, and that doesn’t happen until the referral is sent to prosectors, Francis said.

Also, it’s up to the prosecu-tor’s office to decide whether or not to press charges.

Nichols was southbound on Highway 525 at about 8:40 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, when she lost control near the intersection of Coles Road, according to a state patrol

Prosecutor, defense make opening arguments

Langley charrette won’t include cost, public voteBy BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

Cost estimates for the various Langley marina access project options are not expected to be part of an upcoming public meet-ing this month.

The hope is to highlight various designs and possi-bilities, but providing finan-cial details for all of the 10 alternatives simply isn’t fea-sible, according to Langley Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio.

“It’s our goal to be able to inform the public about all the options we’re con-sidering,” Davolio said in an interview Thursday at City Hall.

The city has planned a charrette, a stakeholders meeting with residents, business owners and mari-na users, to present options April 14. It is a departure from earlier momentum in 2014 when the city was looking into the construc-tion of either a funicular to move up and down the Cascade Avenue bluff or a bridge and elevator. Any bluff-side option will likely need a private partner because the city does not own any property at the base to connect to Wharf Street.

The city secured $500,000 in grant fund-ing years ago to improve access to the marina, though the initial project was to widen Wharf Street. The basic idea is create an alternative means of accessing the marina in

Families and vulnerable adults who lack safe, steady housing now have the oppor-tunity to apply for residence in the South End’s first House of Hospitality.

The South Whidbey Homeless Coalition signed the final papers and took ownership of the Camano Avenue property in Langley on Thursday, March 26. The house was formerly a space utilized by various support groups and non-prof-its such as Helping Hand, Opportunity Council and Pregnancy Aid. It will open as the new House of Hospitality May 1.

“It feels like being in the center of a miracle,” said Judy Thorslund, chairwoman of South Whidbey Homeless Coalition.

About 30 years ago, Langley philanthropist Judy Yeakel purchased the prop-erty with the intent for it to be a hub for South Whidbey non-profit groups.

Since Yeakel’s death a year ago, the house was put on the market.

Thorslund said plans to purchase the house went into the works “practically the moment it was brought to our attention.”

“This house, a vision of Judy Yeakel and the result of her quiet philanthropy, enriched lives in South Whidbey for 30 years,” the coalition wrote in a recent news release.

“It aligned with what the family’s dreams were for the place,” said coalition member and board secretary Faith Wilder.

There are three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen and a common living space in the house. About six people will be able to live in the home simultaneously, for a maximum stay of 90 days.

There is also an office space in the upper level, which will be used by staff people, including a part-time admin-istrative assistant. The coali-tion is making families with children a priority, according to Thorslund, who added that there are already three fami-lies “waiting in the wings” who have been approved to move in.

“We’re glad that we’re the first step in stability for peo-ple,” Wilder said.

In the future, Thorslund

said the coalition hopes to consider the option of plac-ing tiny houses on the prop-erty for additional housing, though their primary goal is to ensure the main house is open and operational.

The house cost a total of $190,000, which was funded through a combination of loans, donations and a con-tribution from Island County.

Island County provided a $40,000 grant for the coali-tion to operate the house in coordination with the Island

County Coordinated Entry Program. According to the county’s website, the pro-gram is a state-mandated strategy that has proven effective in contributing to the goal of ending home-lessness. It is also a way to “streamline” processes such as referral, assessment and access linking individuals to housing and service agen-cies.

Island County human ser-vices department will decide which families or individuals will benefit the most from living at the South Whidbey House of Hospitality. Other families and individuals may be better served in other areas, Thorslund explained.

The coalition received blessings from Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy and South Whidbey School District Superintendent Jo Moccia.

The coalition had con-sulted with the school dis-trict primarily because of their prioritization of hous-

ing children and families, as well as the house’s close proximity to Langley Middle School, which is across the street. Thorslund mentioned that she will also be in close contact with the staff of the district’s Readiness to Learn program, which assists fami-lies in need.

McCarthy expressed his support for the coalition’s establishment of the warm-ing center at Langley United Methodist Church and for the House of Hospitality.

“I think both of these efforts are a citizen/commu-nity member-based and pro-active plan for existing and emerging needs in our com-munity,” McCarthy wrote in an email to The Record.

The coalition accepts dona-tions — from toiletries to furniture — and pledges on an ongoing basis. Monetary contributions will go towards the operation of the house and repayment of loans used to purchase it.

Wilder said the organiza-

tion wants to be “conserva-tive” in taking care of the debt, and hopes to repay it in entirety within two years.

A team of seven pro-bono workers are currently work-ing to ready the house in time for its opening on May 1.

“Thanks for your hearts, South Whidbey,” Thorslund said.

The coalition will host a community celebration and house dedication from 1-5 p.m. April 18 at the house. Beverly Graham of Operation Sack Lunch and violinist Gloria Ferry-Brennan will perform. Refreshments will be provided.

Tax-deductible dona-tions can be made to South Whidbey Homeless Coalition and mailed to P.O. Box 744 Freeland, WA, 98249.

No one files for food truck permit

The Langley City Council will have to do some quick review of its recently approved food truck ordinance.

A couple of weeks after posting a request for proposals for food truck applicants, none were submitted to the city, Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said.

The rules included a seasonal restriction between late May and early September, and excluded the weekend of Choochokam Arts Festival, in addition to $200 in business license and application fees.

The city council will dis-cuss the lack of proposals and what course it should take at its Monday, April 6 meeting at 5:30 p.m.

Also on the council’s agenda is a discussion of

declaring the firehouse surplus. The former fire station is currently leased from the city to glass art-ist Callahan McVay, but is being moved toward being sold.

Mayor’s excellence awards will be given to longtime Langley shop owners Fred and Sharon Lundahl and Marc Esterly, who recently announced he was stepping down as executive director of the Langley Chamber of Commerce.

Enrollment bump bucks trend

The South Whidbey School District has experienced an unusual increase in enrollment since the beginning of the year, according to Dan Poolman, assistant super-intendent of business.

The district gained eight new students in February, at a time when

Poolman said enrollment usually decreases.

Poolman made the announcement at a regu-lar school board business meeting Wednesday, March 25.

The total number of students has steadily decreased throughout the past several years, with a drop from an average of 1,894 students in the 2006/07 school year to an average of 1,382 in the 2013/14 school year.

As of March, 2015, there were 1,370 average stu-dents enrolled.

Museum waives admission fees

Admission to the Island County Historical Society & Museum in Coupeville this month is free, or rather, on museum mem-ber and volunteer Jackie Feusier.

Feusier had the idea last year to sponsor the month of April in honor of her birthday. The con-tribution means visitors

of all ages and categories get in the door free of charge.

“We saw a pretty dra-matic increase in museum visitors last April, thanks to Jackie’s idea,” wrote Director Rick Castellano said. “Visitors from all over the world wrote happy birthday messages in our guestbook, and were really tickled by Jackie’s generosity.”

Feusier decided to repeat last year’s birth-day gift again this year, because in her words “all museums should be free to everyone.” Feusier said she realizes that reality may dictate otherwise, but for the month of April,

“My birthday wish can come true.”

State funds used for critical areas

Island County com-missioners approved an agreement with Environmental Sciences Associates last week to assist in the comple-tion of the critical areas ordinance, as part of the 2016 comprehensive plan update.

To pay for the assis-tance, the county is using a U.S. Department of Commerce National Estuary Program grant not to exceed $250,000.

As part of the Puget Sound Watershed Protection and Restoration program, the funding will allow county staff to review and revise wetland and critical areas protections into a single

cohesive policy.ESA will be the lead

consultant supported by sub-consultants Pacific Groundwater Group and the Stratum Group.

Swan Lake in Oak Harbor is one of several critical areas in Island County. Funding from the state will be used to update the Comp Plan, including critical areas rules.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Kate Johnson considers herself a novice, a neophyte when it comes to fine wines, craft beer and cider, cheese and cured meats.

Perhaps in the context of standing next to a career char-cuterie expert or a Master Sommelier, she is indeed a neophyte. For the majority of her customers at The Tipsy Gourmet, she’s a wealth of information and insight into flavor and taste.

“I like to try to get stuff in that people can’t find,” she said.

In the shop in Langley Village, the shopping area between Second and Third streets, Johnson has collected a host of hard-to-find brews, wines and spirits. Tipsy Gourmet is Langley’s new go-to place for anyone looking to put on a cocktail party.

Her talents were recently utilized in an edition of Kitsch ‘n’ Bitch, Whidbey Island Center for the Arts’ food and drink series. She created the Jammy Juice, based on a pajama-themed evening, that includes vermouth, brut rosé and an orange slice for gar-nish (see breakout box for the recipe).

Ask her about how to pair some of the cheeses with crackers and the right wine, and she’s got several answers. A question about what defines “abbey ale” had her stumped, but only for as long as it took for her to search online for a good definition. She may not

know everything, but she’s quick to learn.

“There’s no such thing as a stupid question,” she said.

Johnson is an island girl who left Whidbey after high school, pursued culinary school in Portland, returned to the area and finally returned home to start her own business.

She opened in September 2014 in the space formerly run by the Langley liquor store. With alcohol sales taken out of the state’s strict hands, Johnson said her aim is to provide booze for spe-cial occasions and people will-ing to try something differ-ent. She knows that means customers have to trust her, and she’s hoping to earn that

trust, one sip and one nibble at a time.

When people come in, they can often get a sample of the cured meats and spe-cial cheeses she stocks. Prosciutto, manchego, and an assortment of blue cheeses are all up for interested taste buds. Her reason is simple: she wants customers to know they like it before they buy it.

Offering that same service for the imported wines or craft bourbons isn’t as sim-ple. She can’t just crack open a bottle and offer sips at all hours of the day, so she hosts regular events. Some of the upcoming tastings cost $5 to $10 and include organic and sustainable wines, American cider tasting, ladies night and Eastern European wines.

Anyone with hesitation about attending one of her w i n e t a s t i n g s s h o u l d take heart from a story she told about one regu-lar cus-tomer. He had not a t tended any of her near week-ly tastings until she a s k e d why and heard that he didn’t know how to properly taste a wine or swirl it. She was happy to

show him the method of keep-ing the glass on the table, how

to smell and taste wine like an aficionado.

Those seek-ing local prod-ucts will be hard pressed to find it in J o h n s o n ’ s store. She said that’s because if they want a Whidbey wine, they should go to the win-ery itself and directly sup-port them.

“When you don’t want to

drink Washington wine, come see me,” she said.

“Sneering” claims misrepresented the facts Editor,

The South Whidbey School Board continued to display its dysfunction at a Wednesday meeting last month.

First, the board reaf-firmed a policy that discour-ages individual board mem-bers from speaking with the media. Then, disgruntled with a court’s ruling that the district violated the state Open Public Records Act, the board allowed its for-mer member Fred O’Neal to malign the plaintiff and to misrepresent that Superintendent Jo Moccia spent her time responding to public records requests. In fact, she admits in depo-sition testimony that she wholly delegated the search for records to staff and the review of records to highly paid Seattle attorneys. “It was all by counsel,” she said.

Finally, the District could have electronically sent the few relevant minutes of the three-hour meeting to its attorney, via an edited

audiotape. Instead it likely paid her transportation expenses and hundreds of dollars per hour to sit and listen to, among other things, Fred O’Neal’s sneer-ing recitation of excerpts from the court’s ruling, a document with which she is already familiar. By contrast, the English teacher in atten-dance with her students, who has doubtless spent thousands of unpaid hours outside of contract helping them to learn, will be told that the district’s supposed “lack of resources” prevents it from paying her what she deserves.

ERIC HOODLangley

Dream, scheme but bluff is still unstable Editor,

Bluff stability should be a major concern when choos-ing a Langley transport option from the marina.

These bluffs are geo-logically hazardous and are environmentally critical areas. The 2015 hazardous mitigation plan for Island County rates the probability of landslide or earthquake in Langley as “very high.” These bluffs are well docu-

mented as historically prone to slides, the latest occurring March 22, 2013. That slide stretched 60 feet on Wharf Street completely blocking the road, trapping dozens of cars, and requiring evacu-ation.

Engineering reports obtained from a public records request show that every geological engineer-ing study has concluded these slopes are marginally stable and that additional failures can occur at any time in spite of precautions taken. Slides are typically set off by saturated soils dur-ing storms, and scientists say the likelihood of these storm events is predicted to increase in the future.

Development on these unstable bluffs threat-ens public safety and puts projects like a funicular and surrounding develop-ment at risk, including the Schell-proposed multistory building. Recent municipal code changes eliminated all setbacks and height restrictions on Wharf Street increasing the danger. Heavy loads and vibrations from construction activ-ity and mechanical assist on these sensitive slopes can precipitate slides. The best design and construction will still be vulnerable to slope

failure. The high probability of earthquake in our area makes a funicular another hazardous site requiring mitigation. Edgecliff Drive used to be a thruway but the road slid off. Cascade Avenue could too: engineer-ing reports including the lat-est by URS Corporation in 2013 suggest that for safety, the city should explore shift-ing Cascade Avenue inland as the east lane is at risk of sliding away.

Any associated structure located on Cascade Avenue will increase the risk of land-slide. Island County setback from the top of hazardous bluffs begins at 100 feet. Langley’s setbacks start at 50 feet and can be negoti-ated downward or a variance claimed. There is negligible room for setback from this bluff edge. If engineering experts say that the east lane of Cascade Avenue is unsafe long-term, it makes no sense to build a station or promenade further east.

We can dream and scheme about our favorite transport options but for the unstable and hazardous bluffs on Cascade Avenue, the reasonable approach is to avoid high-impact trans-

SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

In less than two weeks time, Langley will have its big meet-ing. This is the one that everyone’s been talking about, the one about the city’s proposed marina access/bluff convey-ance project.

Given all the expressed interest, it may well prove to be one of Langley’s best attended meetings of the entire year. Unfortunately, it may be a bit anticlimactic.

City leaders said this week it won’t include even a ballpark price tag of various designs, one of the details residents have been clamoring for and debating ad nauseam through The Record’s opinion page for months. They also don’t plan to take any kind of consensus on favored or disliked options. Instead, the city planner is expected to simply deduce from the discus-sion which options he feels are preferred, and those that he believes are not.

The city should rethink this position, and the scope and design of the meeting.

First and foremost, project cost is more than an inconse-quential detail that can be made clear once preferred alter-natives are identified. Truly, how can anyone, be they city officials or members of the public, make an informed choice before knowing something as basic as cost.

Charrettes or their like aren’t uncommon, and the above reason is why they usually include at least some kind of financial information. For example, the county held a meeting in November outlining 10 possible new road routes to reach Whidbey Air Park. A specific dollar figure wasn’t attached, but handouts made clear which routes would cost the most, and which cost the least.

It’s doubtful any reasonable person is expecting the city to provide a line-by-line breakdown for each option, but knowing which designs are the most expensive seems both reasonable and prudent.

As for gaining a consensus of public opinion, granted, a straw poll at the meeting would hardly be conclusive and rife with its own issues. However, it seems less subjective than one person’s conclusions divined from a roomful of people involved in noisy discussion.

Fears that participants would be put on the spot unfairly, and subject to criticism from neighbors seem silly at best, disingenuous at worst. A simple form filled out by participants and deposited in a box would address that problem easily enough.

While the agenda follows the recommendations of the Langley Planning Advisory Board, the public perception of this meeting from the beginning has been about getting some real answers about the various options, and the opportunity to give city leaders feedback about what they want. A meeting that doesn’t address the most talked about issues, and doesn’t give residents a chance to give input that actually matters, begs the question why it’s being held at all.

Six months of funicular this, funicular thatEditor,

I would like an immediate stop to the funicular so I never have to hear about it again. For the past six months, every time I talk to my mom it has been funicular this and funicular that. At first, I had no idea what a funicular was but played along, thinking it was a passing dance craze. Upon realizing that it definitely wasn’t passing, I looked it up and remembered that I myself had once ridden a funicular in France. But then I remembered that I had actually just taken the stairs, because I was like “What is that weird outdoor elevator?” This is the basic problem with the Langley funicular too. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

The only real reason I can see for the funicular is that they have the money to do it, but that’s never a good reason to buy something. Coincidentally, I learned this lesson on the same trip to France when my best friend (her name rhymes with Slow-y Lifer) and I decided to go on a Parisian shopping spree because we thought we had a lot of money left over. As soon as we got back to the states, the bank made us aware that we hadn’t actually had any money left over, but the international

ATM hadn’t known this. Everyone was mad. The point is, do you really want to spend money you don’t know if you have on an inflatable yellow purse, or would you rather just walk (or drive) one block uphill?

Bravo symphony conductor, performers Editor,

Dr. Anna Edwards accomplished an awesome outcome presenting “Fairy Tales and Legends,” with Carmina Burana as the main work (Sunday, 3/22/2015). I’m still breathless. A choral group of about one hundred talented voices of many ages, three talented professional soloists and a full orchestra performed to redefine synchronicity.

I’m a fan of symphony, an admirer of music and musi-cians. In the largest of cities, no finer performance could be discovered. Edwards took on a task few would try. Limited to a gymnasium floor for the musicians and bleachers for the audience, one would think (and many voiced concern before the performance for acoustics and comfort) the outcome could be mediocre at best. One would be wrong. The entire performance excelled, even in a gym. My husband and I forgot

we were sitting in a gym and were swept away. Whidbey Island is replete with gifted musicians and this

performance yielded convincingly for that testimony. I shout, “bravo” and thank you to the conductor and all performers.

MARTY BEERT, Ed.D.Clinton

Warren is the right president for our timeEditor,

Just a shout out to Massachusetts state Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who is being encouraged to run for the presidency in 2016. She is the right candidate for our time.

A proven champion on the issues that matter most, Warren is standing up to powerful, money focused interests or “big business” and giving everyone in this economy a fair chance.

Elizabeth Warren can win. Her message is strong and she has strong support. So even though she will not likely see this letter in our little local paper, I say “Run Elizabeth, run.”

passed away on March 25, 2015. He is survived by his lifelong partner Christina Drake, his brother in blood and faith Vernon Todd Foster and his sister Heather Taylor, as well as many friends and colleagues within the northwest music com-munity.

He will always be known for his work with Tomie O’Neil at Seismic Audio as a sound technician, as well as working in many iconic Seattle venues. His supe-rior audio ability led him to work with many legendary local bands including The Rangehoods, Lazy Susan, Give, as well as many others. He provided sound rein-forcement for private events and many music festivals around the Puget Sound area.

During his life Greg influenced many local bands and budding sound techni-cians. He was a man of his word and happily guided and taught those who had an interest in sound technol-ogy, music and life. He was kind, had a huge heart and touched many lives. He will be missed by those who knew him well.

Rest in peace my partner, my brother, our friend. We will forever love and miss you dearly.

To everything there is a season, a time for every pur-pose under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. (Eccl 3:1-4)

Gregory Hill

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Fielding errors in the second inning put South Whidbey softball into a hole from which the Falcons could not fly out against Lakewood on Tuesday.

South Whidbey lost 4-1. Only one run in the entire game was earned, a solo homer by Lakewood junior Alexis Lampinen.

Facing the Cascade C o n f e r e n c e - l e a d i n g Lakewood Cougars, South Whidbey had a few chances to swoop in on a narrow 2-0 Lakewood lead. None materi-alized as the Falcons strand-ed runners on base every inning, and no inning was as deflating as the fifth.

With the top of the batting order at the plate, the first two Falcon batters failed to get on base. Kacie Hanson, a sophomore, knocked a line drive single into left field. Anne Madsen, a senior, launched a standup double into deep left field to put two Falcons in scoring position. Leah Merrow, a sophomore, was hit by an errant pitch to load the bases.

Falcon freshman Mackenzee Collins slapped a grounder back to Lakewood pitcher Hailey Malakowski, who fielded it cleanly and tossed it to first base to clip the Falcons’ once-rowdy rally.

In the following play, Lampinen blasted the ball over the left field fence. South Whidbey got the next three batters out to limit the dam-age.

Trailing 3-0, Malakowski retired the first three Falcon batters of the sixth inning on two strikeouts and a ground-out to the pitcher’s circle.

On Thursday, South Whidbey rebounded for a seventh-inning rally to beat

Cedar Park Christian in Bothell.

Errors again factored into the hole from which the Falcons had to escape. Cedar Park took the lead 1-0 in the second inning and padded it to 4-1 heading into the final frame.

Falcon senior Callie Patterson, the leadoff batter, reached first on an error. Senior Chloe Huffman, who was 2-for-3 at the plate,

doubled to move Patterson to third base. Cedar Park’s pitcher walked the next two batters for a score and loaded bases. Merrow brought in a run on a fielder’s choice to cut the lead to 4-3. Collins launched a two RBI single for the go-ahead run.

South Whidbey was able to retire the next three Cedar Park batters to preserve the win.

Falcon girls tennis takes Tigers to task South Whidbey girls tennis defeated Granite Falls 5-2

on Tuesday. The Falcons’ top players split their singles matches,

and the Falcons’ second and third doubles teams won. Senior Isla Dubendorf beat Granite Falls’ Katelyn

Gresli 6-1, 6-1. Bayley Gochanour, a sophomore, lost the second singles bout to Granite Falls’ Hailey Arndt, 3-6, 0-6.

Kendra Warwick, a junior, fended off Tiger Laura Gilbertson 6-1, 7-5. In the second set, Gilbertson led 5-3 before Warwick saved two set points and eventually force a sixth set.

“This was the match of the day,” Falcon head coach

Karyle Kramer wrote in an email. “… Kendra continues to show great poise and concentration.”

Anna Lynch won the fourth singles match 6-1, 6-3 over Granite’s Emma Loney.

In doubles, South Whidbey’s top duo of Iona Rohan and Clara Martin lost to Granite Falls’ McKenzie Meyer and Annie Hart 2-6, 4-6.

Macey Bishop and Kara Mead rolled through their second doubles bout in their first match playing together. They beat Granite Falls’ Brynne Mota-Soriano and Holly Curry 6-1, 6-2.

At third doubles, sophomores Carmen Warwick and Taylor Hamilton dropped Granite Falls’ Shelby Beehler and Danielle Coleman 6-0, 6-2.

“These two sophomores continue to impress me with their willingness to take risks and take their game to the next level,” Kramer wrote. “They are winning at varsity doubles, but they are also looking at how they can improve — a great sign for a young team.”

On Thursday, South Whidbey downed Lakewood 6-1. Dubendorf defeated Lakewood’s Christina Barber 6-2,

6-4 at first singles. Second singles saw Gochanour beat Hannah Krutsinger 6-2, 6-2. Kendra Warwick won the third singles bout over Erin Espeland 6-0, 6-0. Clements won fourth singles 6-3, 6-3 against Jillian Desmond.

The Falcons’ top doubles duo of Rohan and Martin fell to Lakewood’s Alex Wolfe and Maddie DeYoung 6-4, 6-4. Bishop and Jen LeRoy beat Paige Borsema and Gillian Romeis 6-4, 6-1. Carmen Warwick and Hamilton won the third doubles match 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.

Archbishop Murphy held onto its Cascade Conference lead in a 1-0 win over South Whidbey on Tuesday.

The game was marred in Falcon head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins’ opinion due to some unen-forced physical, “dirty” play that jeopardized his team’s safety and health.

“Some of the referees don’t protect these boys the way they should,” Robbins said.

“Coaches, we’re teachers. We’re teaching these boys not only soccer skills but also hopefully life lessons. Play hard, play clean, but don’t hurt players.”

Robbins said a couple of bad plays stood out. One included a player stomping on senior Davin Kesler’s foot after he was already prone on the field, which drew a yellow card for the offending Wildcat. The other was an open-hand slap to Falcon senior Andy Zisette’s face in front of the South Whidbey bench, unseen by refs.

“If the referee isn’t going to enforce it, then the coaches have to,” Robbins said, adding that he’d take one of his players out for committing that kind of foul. “We have a responsibility to protect our student-athletes more than winning games.”

Falcon senior forward Kai da Rosa was also issued a yellow card for bowling over the Wildcats’ keeper.

Through the first half, the game was tied at 0-0 with each team getting a few shots on goal. The Wildcats broke the draw in the second half after junior midfield-er Brady Henderson beat two Falcon defenders to boot in a low shot to the far post past Falcon keeper Charley Stelling.

It was the first goal South Whidbey allowed this sea-son. This was also the Falcons’ first loss.

Archbishop Murphy was able to effectively play keep-away with strong possession the rest of the match.

South Whidbey tried to counter with different forma-tions to add more players on offense, hoping to get a quick transition and score. But the Falcons were unable to punch in a few shots.

The Falcons hosted fellow 1A Cascade Conference opponent King’s on Friday, after The Record went to press. Robbins said he didn’t envision that kind of loss would impact South Whidbey in either the King’s game or the rematch against the Wildcats.

“I don’t expect it to affect their play at all,” he said. “They know what’s on the line, they know the rivalry and they know how King’s played in the past.”

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Though Earth Day lasts only 24 hours, a number of South End residents are working year-round to con-serve the island’s numerous natural treasures.

Many of these individuals are volunteers who assist in community gardens such as those at the school district and Good Cheer, or join in work parties removing Scotch broom and yellow archangel from public areas like South Whidbey State Park or the Saratoga Woods.

Others work with organiza-tions such as the Whidbey Institute, fostering discussion of environmentally conscious practices within the context of building a cooperative and healthful community.

During April, these indi-viduals and organizations will join together for Whidbey Earth and Ocean Month, a month-long celebration of the planet with activities and events ranging from an educational display at the Bayview Cash Store to the Welcome the Whales and Earth Day festivals and expert presentations and dis-cussions at various venues.

The Whidbey Earth and Ocean Month Committee consists of representa-tives from Citizens Climate Lobby — Whidbey Chapter; Goosefoot; Greenbank Farm; Service, Education and Adventure (SEA); South Whidbey Tilth; and Whidbey ECO Network.

Numerous other organiza-tions, including the Whidbey Institute, Whidbey Camano Land Trust, Whidbey Watershed Stewards, Orca Network, Pacific Rim Institute and Unitarian Universalist Church are also involved in activities throughout the month.

For Whidbey Camano Land Trust outreach man-ager Janelle Castro, Whidbey Earth and Ocean Month is an ideal avenue for fostering discussion about environmen-

tal issues and appreciation within the greater Whidbey community.

“I think it’s a great way to reach all types of audiences,” Castro said. “It helps raise awareness so people can take action.”

The Land Trust will host several work parties, includ-ing Scotch broom removal events at Double Bluff Beach and Saratoga Woods as well as a campground cleanup at South Whidbey State Park in coordination with the Friends of South Whidbey State Park.

Representatives from the Land Trust will also be pres-ent for South Whidbey High School’s Earth Day celebra-tion on April 22. Both Castro and Ida Gianopulos, conser-vation associate, noted that events like that at the high

school are helpful in develop-ing students’ conservation ethic from an early age.

Robert Mellinger, land care coordinator at Whidbey Institute, will also be present at the high school. Mellinger plans to demonstrate a vari-ety of “citizen science apps” which students and adults can use to learn on the go.

Mellinger tends to the land at Chinook, the 100 acres of woodland and late-19th centu-ry farmstead upon which the Whidbey Institute is located.

Gardeners at the institute will harvest produce from the land to use in producing dishes for a vegan potluck from 1-3 p.m. April 22.

“They’re opportunities for the community to come together and learn to love the place where they are,

together, beyond whatever personal relationship they might have with the place,” said Mellinger of the Earth Day events.

Abigail Lazarowski, steward of the institute’s Westgarden and community garden leadership training co-coordinator, echoed Mellinger’s sentiment. Though ecological consider-ations should be a part of our decision-making on a daily basis, she said, events such as Earth Day help to being the topic to the forefront of community conversations.

Rick Baker, execu-tive director of Whidbey Watershed Stewards (WWS) said that WWS will also be taking part in furthering the conversation.

Baker said that the stew-

ards will be hosting Wetland Wednesdays once a month at the Freeland Wetland Preserve as a part of their new objective to utilize the property for educational purposes.

“Whidbey Watershed Stewards is a small orga-nization, but we have big dreams,” said Baker.

The kickoff party and first Wetland Wednesday will take place from noon-3 p.m. April 22 at the Freeland Wetlands. The Wednesday gather-ings will continue through September and will include talks from experts about sub-jects such as wetland hydrol-ogy and birding.

The Watershed Stewards are also involved in educa-tional activities with the South Whidbey School District, including hands-on studies in oceanography with Langley Middle School students and frequent outings to the dis-trict’s outdoor classroom.

Lori O’Brien, Whidbey Watershed Stewards educa-tion director, said the stu-

dents are “little messengers” who are enthused to share their new findings with par-ents and others.

O’Brien, Lazarowski, Castro, Gianopulos, Mellinger and Baker each have differing perspectives as to what is the current greatest threat to Whidbey’s natural environment. But most seemed to agree that some of the most pertinent means of day-to-day ecologi-cal preservation are planting native plant species and being mindful of carbon emissions, pollution and the effects of residential and commercial development.

“There are so many dif-ferent ways you can be involved,” said Castro. “The only way we can continue to do this work is through com-munity support.”

case of an emergency, such as the March 2013 land-slide.

Since being hired in January, the planner was thrust full-speed into city affairs including the marina access project, updating the city’s Comprehensive Plan, creating food truck rules, writing a request for proposals for the possible sale of a city-owned build-ing and property, on top of other day-to-day duties of the one-person office.

Concerning the con-veyance project, some of the options have “firm” estimates, while others do not. Rather than provide information for a few and not the rest, Davolio said he did not want to give the impression that the city was favoring one possibility over another at this time.

One Langley resident who has questioned the city’s course on this project for months said she dis-agreed, and that the city should have costs by now.

“I think they’ve had an awful lot of time to gather some of that information,” said Sharon Emerson. “If they don’t have that, that’s a problem.”

Davolio said narrowing down the list of options will help him divert time

to more accurately outline how four options would operate. That also allows for the projects to go through the public vetting process via the planning board.

“I don’t want to give any-one the impression we’re ramming through any one option,” he said.

The meeting’s format follows the recommen-dations of the Langley Planning Advisory Board, which met Wednesday to discuss the agenda.

Mayor Fred McCarthy, who has mostly backed away from the process in the wake of criticism directed at his support of the project, said he backs Davolio and the PAB for going through the process. He had no intention of asking them to change the format to include costs or a public vote.

“I’m not going to recom-mend anything different because I want the PAB and Michael to work this process through,” McCarthy said in a phone interview Friday afternoon.

The grant funding, issued through the Island County Council of Governments, comes with stipulations that may restrict which projects can be built. According to state law, RCW 82.14.370 (3)(a), the grant can only be used to finance public facilities serving economic development purposes in

rural coun-ties or for economic develop-ment office staff. “Facilities,” meaning a permanent structure, may be the key word. According to Davolio, it may mean that the half-million dol-

lars already approved for Langley’s use to improve the connection can’t be used for any vehicles such as a trolley, bus, shuttle or electric golf carts. Effectively, if the city were to choose one of those options, it would have to find funding elsewhere and would walk away from $500,000.

“There would be other financial challenges,” Davolio said.

Further complicat-ing the issue, the grant

funding can be used for projects listed in the city’s Capital Facilities Plan: the funicular and a bridge and elevator.

Another major change in the format of the meeting from earlier reports is that a public vote or informal ballot will not occur. After the city’s planning board meeting, its members agreed to not seek any kind of large group vote. Instead, members decided to gather information from small groups at several tables.

“This is a complex issue that involves funding, view impacts, people with disabilities … personally, I don’t see a vote as an adequate way to evaluate all those issues,” Davolio said.

The mayor sat in on the planning board’s meeting and agreed with the main reason for not having a vote or poll. He said put-ting citizens on the spot by asking them to decide on the options, when some may be hearing about them for the first time, was unfair.

Emerson, who also attended the planning meeting, said she saw the exclusion of a vote as a way to avoid confronting over-whelming opposition.

“They don’t want to know it so clearly that they have to give up any particu-lar idea,” she said. She did,

however, agree with some of their concerns about not letting the discussion become overly negative.

“The reason things are getting negative is people’s frustration that they’re not being heard,” she said. “To have a meeting once again where they’re not going to have their voice heard really clearly after speak-ing as a group will lead to more anger.”

Discussion about a deadline for the start of construction tied to the grant remains vague, though Davolio said he did not think it would expire by June 30, the end of the state’s fiscal year. That means the city has time to go through its full plan-ning process. Once Davolio

reviews some of what he considers are the preferred alternatives at the meeting, he’ll sketch those out in greater detail — including details such as construc-tion and ongoing mainte-nance/operation costs. It will then go to the planning board for public meetings. From there, the group will make a recommendation that’s forwarded to the city council for further input and eventual approval.

“If there’s a solution other than do nothing, I’d like to do it sooner rather than later,” he said.

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

Thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes were stolen from a Freeland gas station in an early morning burglary last month and the thief remains at large.

Detective Ed Wallace, a spokesman for the Island County Sheriff’s Office, said an investigation has been launched to find the perpetrator but officers have yet to make an arrest.

Freeland Shell on the corner of Fish Road and Highway 525 was burglarized at about 2:20 a.m. March 20. The bandit reportedly gained access to the building by breaking in through a drive-through window. The burglar is believed to have exited in similar fashion, shattering a glass front door.

According to Wallace, the thief made off with a single item: cartons of cigarettes.

The estimated value of the pilfered smokes is about $4,400.

“It adds up quick; that’s like three packs,” said Wallace, jokingly referring to the high cost of ciga-rettes these days.

Price per pack ranges from $9 to $11, and the average price of a carton is about $95. That works out to about 46 cartons taken during the burglary.

A Shell station manager declined to com-ment per company policy.

The gas station, which includes a conve-nience store and popular daytime eatery, has been hit by cigarette thieves before. In a nearly identical incident in February 2013, three people wearing masks broke

through the drive-through window and stole the equivalent of $10,000 — 110 car-tons of cigarettes and 120 cartons of chew-ing tobacco.

The bur-glars were never caught.

In both cases, the motive was likely to resell

the stolen mer-chandise, Wallace said.

“That’s a lot to smoke,” he said.The Record learned of the burglary

from the police blotter. The 9-1-1 calls also included another incident at Pickles Deli in Clinton. Surveillance video showed a per-son trying to kick in the front door.

According to store owner Kim Bailey, the incident happened around 6:30 a.m. It was

unclear from the video if the person was a male or female. Bailey noted that small scale crime at Ken’s Korner seems to be on the rise, citing the theft of a company cart in the shopping center’s internal hallway, a raided soda machine, etc.

“It’s been pretty bad,” she said.According to Wallace, the two recent

incidents don’t appear to be related.“There’s always a possibility, but there’s

no evidence of a link right now,” he said.Breaking windows or doors, referred

to as “smash and grabs” by police, are a common way burglars gain access to lock premises. Wallace recommends outside lighting and video surveillance equipment as deterrents.

Anyone with information about the crime is urged to contact the Island County Sheriff’s Office, South Precinct, at 360-321-4400.

Software error leads to 200 billing mistakes

Langley’s public works billing software resulted in an error that led to 200 bills needing an adjustment,

either up or down, in the next bill.

Mayor Fred McCarthy informed The Record of the issue April 2. The software company was contacted to fix

the problem, McCarthy said, and now the city is waiting to find out the extent of costs that will need to be credited or returned to customers of the city’s utilities: water, sewer, and stormwater.

“It’s embarrassing for us,” he said.

Langley has about 800 cus-tomers for its utilities.

complex.“I ask you to consider that life is seldom black and white

as was just presented to you,” he said.Schwarz emphasized that the 30-year-old patient has a

long history of mental illness. He said she was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder, which is very dif-ficult to treat and results in emotional outbursts and unpre-dictable behavior.

He said she had been admitted to the hospital many times previously and had assaulted nurses and doctors many times.

“This is not the kind of person who is a little bit depressed,” he said.

He warned the jurors that the “30 seconds” in which the alleged assault took place is going to be “dissected and dis-sected and dissected” during the trial.

“What you’re going to see is that the witnesses aren’t going to agree,” he said.

Schwarz gave a different version of events. He said Gipson took the patient by the chin and told her, “Look into my eyes. Focus on me. You need to calm down.”

He said experts will testify that her actions were a “very important technique” used to redirect an upset patient’s attention. He said Gipson was responding to a “code gray” at the hospital, which means medical personnel are supposed to respond to a combative patient or other emergency.

“Somebody had to take charge and make sure that nobody got hurt,” he said.

“Linda Gipson committed no crime,” he added.

GIPSONCONTINUED FROM A1 AAUW fundraiser draws 100 people

Whidbey Island branch of American Association of University Women, or AAUW, held its fifth annu-al fashion show and fun-draiser March 19 at the Whidbey Golf Club.

More than 100 women from across the island gathered in their spring

finery to enjoy a lunch and fashion show.

Fashions were provid-ed by Jill Schacht of the Casual House and mod-eled by AAUW members.

Proceeds from tickets, a raffle and a silent auction combined to net $3,300 for scholarships for young

women on the island.Last year, the local

AAUW branch awarded almost $11,000 in col-lege scholarships, STEM stipends and Tech Trek camp scholarships to high school and middle school girls on Whidbey.

AAUW’s mission is to

advance equity for women and girls through advoca-cy, education, philanthropy and research. For informa-tion about membership, contact Diane Peters at dipeters@comcast.net or Barb Bland at barble@com-cast.net.

Curves closes doors, new biz takes spaceCurves of South Whidbey closed its

doors Tuesday, March 31 after 12 years of business.

Owners Cindy and Doug Calder, who purchased the franchise in April of 2006, announced the closure in a Thursday news release. They thanked the community and Goosefoot for their longtime location.

“We have been so honored to rent from Goosefoot, knowing our rent goes to supporting our community,” they said, in the release. “And Curves has been all about community.”

Although Bayview Curves has shut-tered its doors, Oak Harbor Curves remains open.

Also, fitness at the Bayview loca-

tion will continue with Equipped4Life, owned by Patty Maddux. She will focus on body weight and small equipment programming “in an environment that is welcoming, empowering, and pro-motes connectivity,” according to the release.

Extent of Langley utility bill error still being calculated, officials say
