James Wills files mail into post office boxes at the Clinton post office Monday. After a 34-year career at the Clinton post office, he will retire at the end of January and focus on his passion, painting.

Clinton post office clerk to retire after 34 years of service to south end

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

James Wills has a lot of nicknames. People who come to the Clinton post office to weigh

packages, check for lost mail and buy stamps know him as Jim, Jimmy and Jimbo.

The nicknames extend from Wills, 65, as well. He calls the customers kid, lad, dude and dear, depending on who it is and how well he knows them, which typi-cally is pretty well.

“I know everybody,” he said Monday as he worked at the front desk weighing parcels and greeting custom-ers. “I know everybody’s parents. I know everybody’s grandparents.”

During work, a customer strolled in, saw a reporter and asked, “Is Jimmy going to be on the front page of the newspaper?”

All of that friendly banter and a 34-year cache of memories will wrap up in a final shift Friday, Jan. 30. Wills is retiring from his United States Postal Service career at the end of the month.

Many years ago, Wills was a teacher looking to get his certificate approved when he first moved to Washington. The difficulty of that process forced him to find other employment, which led to a long career working in the Clinton post office.

When he started in November 1980, he remembered being across the highway from the current location on

Deer Lake Road, but only briefly before moving into the building near the Clinton park and ride.

A painter on the side, or perhaps a post office clerk on the side and a professional painter, Wills said he stuck with the job because he never went home with work and his art never took off to Thomas Kinkade-level wealth and fame.

“This job, when you’re done, you’re done,” he said. “And because my painting hasn’t made me millions

yet,” he added, cracking a sly smile as he filed mail into post office boxes, many of which he knows almost reflexively.

His memory of people and their lives — their fami-lies, their jobs, their homes, their problems — is vast. He asks one woman about her daughter, another about a neighbor, chats up one woman about the little girl with her.

“As I recall, you couldn’t reach the counter,” he said, with the little girl’s eyes and forehead barely peering above the four-foot counter top. “Now you see over it.”

Wills, whose job is to help people get letters and bills and boxes from South Whidbey to all over the world, is himself a well-traveled man. He has visited all but three states.

“When I was a kid, I used to hitchhike a lot …,” he said. “I’ve been to every state except for Kentucky,

Hospital included in state audit report

WGH gets closer to selecting new chief

By JESSIE STENSLAND

South Whidbey Record

Whidbey General Hospital officials failed to file complete finan-cial reports with the Washington State Auditor’s Office for three years in a row, a violation of state law.

As part of a special report on local government transparency, the auditor’s office released a list last week of local government agencies that have been late in filing the required reports, have filed incom-plete reports or failed to file at all in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013.

“I hope this report high-lights the importance of transparency and account-ability for all local govern-ments, not only in meeting their legal requirements,” Auditor Troy Kelley said in a statement, “but in meet-ing the expectations of the people they serve.”

A total of 11 local gov-ernment bodies in Island County were on the list, but they are all small bod-ies — water, sewer, cem-etery and drainage districts — except for the hospital and the Island County Emergency Services Communications Center.

Hospital officials did not file financial reports in 2013 or 2012; they filed an incomplete report in 2011.

The hospital has $112 million in operating expenses for 2015 and a projected loss of $4.9 mil-lion, which will be covered by reserves.

Whidbey General Hospital has narrowed to three its field of candidates for chief execu-tive officer.

CEO Tom Tomasino is stepping down from the posi-tion in October, giving him and the board plenty of time to train his replacement before his departure.

With only three candidates in the running and hopes of making a job offer by the end of January, Commissioner Anne Tarrant, who also serves as board president, said they’re not releasing the names of the finalists at this time.

The search executive hired to help line up candidates, Kate Kingsley of KL Kingsley Executive Search, hasn’t con-firmed whether the top three candidates notified their cur-rent employers of their search for a new job, Tarrant said.

“They are all gainfully employed and I don’t want to jeopardize their current posi-tions,” Tarrant said.

Keeping the identities a secret “is the best thing to do for everybody,” Kingsley said.

The names and back-grounds of the remaining can-didates will be released soon, however. The hospital board is hosting three luncheons over the next week, one for each candidate, to allow mem-bers of the community to get to know them before a final selection is made.

The luncheons are by invi-tation only.

Tarrant said invitations were sent to the three mayors on the island, a former CEO, a representative from the health department, representatives from the three chambers of commerce on the island, one of the county commission-ers and the Whidbey News

Central Whidbey Island Fire and Rescue officially welcomed a new deputy chief on Thursday, Jan. 8.

Deputy Chief Charlie Smith was sworn in at the regular meet-ing of the Board of Fire Commissioners, according to a recent press release.

Smith was selected after a nationwide recruit-ment and assessment process.

Prior to joining the fire district, Smith served as Battalion Chief with the Yuma, Ariz. Fire Department where he managed the Emergency Medical Services Division, according to the release.

He began his fire ser-vice career as a volunteer in Southern Oregon. While serving in the United States Marine Corps, Smith continued working in fire services by joining the force in Yuma, Ariz. as a reserve firefighter.

After his discharge from the Marine Corps, Smith joined the Yuma Fire Department as a full-time firefighter and progressed to his current position as battalion chief managing

the Emergency Medical Services Division, accord-ing to the press release.

Smith has been a certi-fied paramedic for over 20 years.

The release added that he and his wife Tammy have three daughters, two of whom live in Arizona and one who will be mov-ing to Whidbey with her parents.

Central Whidbey Island Fire and Rescue’s new deputy chief, Charlie Smith was hired jan. 8.

50 years ago todayThe following are segments of stories taken from the front page of the Whidbey

Island Record 50 years ago, Thursday, Jan. 14 1965.

Record archives

Nancy Haralson, Frank Hodges and Diana Adams, members of the high school junior class, offer service to Walt Hunziker, Sr., and Carl Knoblauch during the pancake feed Sunday morning at the school cafeteria. The feed was designed to raise money to help finance the forthcoming Junior Prom and many South Whidbey residents took advantage of the opportunity to “eat out.”

Langley bank given OK for branch at Freeland“Langley State Bank has been given oral approval of an application to build a

branch bank at Freeland. “The word came Tuesday when the state department of banking phoned the

local bank president, E.E. Noble, and told him that the application had been approved and that he should send in the necessary license fees. The checks were put in the mail that evening.

“Both the Langley State Bank and the Whidbey Island Bank at Coupeville had applied for permission to establish a branch office. Apparently, one of the turning points in the decision was that the Langley bank’s application included plans for a proposed new building.

“Tentative plans, still subject to change, call for construction of a 36’ by 44’ building next to the Freeland Hardware, with Everett Hays of Freeland to do the building…”

Despite the troubles faced by Washington State Ferries in recent years, the agency still manages to be reliable 99.5 percent of the time, according to Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, Assistant Secretary Lynne Griffith.

The newly-appointed secretary fielded questions from Island County com-missioners Thursday along with other jurisdictions impacted by state ferry ser-vice.

Is land County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson agreed that the fer-ries usually run so smooth-ly that it’s easy for residents to get “cranky” when things go wrong.

Still, the ferry system locally has seen some prob-lems in recent years, par-ticularly concerning design issues. The Coupeville ferry had a list, and ramps on the Clinton ferry were manufactured too steep for low-carriage vehicles.

As a result of these issues, Griffith said she made it a priority to “hit the water first,” spending her first three months with employees on the front lines.

“The fleet is a lot smarter at this than I will ever be,” Griffith said, adding that her ground-up approach will hopefully help her find out “what really needs attention, and what we are doing really well.”

Outreach to both staff and passengers is going to be really important, accord-ing to Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard. Ferry lead-ership’s lack of connection with the fleet has lead to employee “disenfranchise-

ment,” Conard said.“You’ve got some work to

do,” Conard said. “People need to be excited about what they are doing.”

S t i l l , C o n a r d agreed that state fer-ries’ 99.5 p e r c e n t rel iabi l i ty statistic is a message local lead-ers need to help get out to the public.

Griffith said that she’s already gotten positive feed-back about her open-door management style and that some have gone out of their way to meet with her.

“They’ve already said it makes a difference, but then I gotta deliver,” Griffith said. “You can’t just talk.”

Other suggestions by local leaders included pro-viding more informative ferry alerts, the need to give ferries the same priori-ty as roads and bridges, and discouraging the cancella-tion of a late-night route out of Clinton.

Grif fith, who most recently served as chief executive officer of Pierce Transit, said one of the big-gest adjustments to her was that the fleet only runs with a single spare boat, which poses logistical challenges when boats need routine maintenance.

By contrast, bus transit services are mandated by the federal government to run with a 20 percent spare ratio, Griffith said.

“It’s a new thing for me to adapt to,” Griffith said. “One boat. It won’t work. We need new boats and we need to keep building.”

Griffith said that tradi-tionally the legislature has

not been in favor of increas-ing the number of spare boats, but she believes it should be a priority.

“I have to build that case,” G r i f f i t h said. “It’s a signifi-cant invest-ment.”

L a c e y H a r p e r , d e p u t y director of e x t e r n a l

affairs for the governor’s office, said that Gov. Jay Inslee agrees that the state needs a transpor-tation package, but more importantly something that is sustainable long term.

“We keep falling into the water,” Harper said. “We have crumbling roads and vessels we need to deal with.”

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson pointed out that fares for ferries have increased 200 percent since 2000, making it difficult for the island’s working popula-tion.

“In our community, the recession has had an impact on low-wage jobs,” Price Johnson said. “There’s a lot less elasticity in those bud-gets. It’s had a real dampen-ing effect to keep families on island if their pay isn’t increasing but fares are.”

Griffith said she has announced an organiza-tion restructuring that she believes will help address some of the issues experi-enced by the ferry system.

“It doesn’t mean I’m cleaning house,” Griffith

said. “It makes sure we’re as lean and as flat as we can be.”

Griffith, appointed in September, has more than 35 years’ experience in the transportation industry in transit, airlines and rail, from entry-level operations to executive management, according to the state’s website.

Upcoming local ferry projects include:

— A May 2-3 service interruption for mainte-nance at Coupeville;

— The replacement of seismically vulnerable ferry terminals at Mukilteo and Coleman Dock as funded with $81.6 million in the governor’s 2015-2017 bud-get;

— A fourth Olympic class vessel expected to be delivered in the 2017-2019

biennum, to begin with $86 million earmarked in the

governor’s 2015-2017 bud-get.

The Cathlamet travels to Mukilteo on a recent run. Washington’s ferries chief visited Island County last week to give leaders an update on the system.

“You’ve got some work to do.”

Nancy Conard, Coupeville mayor

Emergency forces ferry to leave early

The 10 a.m. sailing Tuesday from Clinton departed five minutes early due to an emer-gency medical transport on the Tokitae. Due to this transport there was no traffic taken on the 10 a.m. departure from Mukilteo on the Kittitas.

It was necessary for this

vessel to clear the slip in Mukilteo to allow for the arrival of the emergency medical transport.

Washington State Ferries announced the early departure through its website and Twitter at 10:50 a.m.

Victoria Clipper set for tours

The Victoria Clipper will visit Langley for whale

watching tours in March and April, taking advan-tage of the expanded dock space in Langley.

Langley Main Street Association, which works to revitalize the down-town area of Langley, announced the news in an email release Monday.

“This is such great news for Langley!” wrote Lorinda Kay, program manager for the Main Street Association. “Let’s all plan to make these passengers welcome and hope for many more return trips.”

The total number of passengers, accord-ing to the Main Street Association, will be between 60 and 100. Getting people from the marina up to the shop-ping area will be up to LMSA, which runs an elec-tric golf cart funded by the city and the port and plans to provide a shuttle as well.

The dates are March 21-22 and April 4, 18 and

19, from noon to 2 p.m.

Port seeks new commissioner

Qualified candidates seeking appointment as a Port of South Whidbey commissioner have until the end of the week to submit an application.

A port news release this week announced the deadline is Friday, Jan. 16.

The position became available late last year when former commis-sioner Dennis Gregoire stepped down after deciding to relocate to Everett.

The district 1 seat rep-resents Freeland, and interested candidates must live in the area to qualify. A map of District 1 is available on the Port’s website at www.portofsouthwhidbey.com.

Also, as Gregoire resigned before the end of his term, the appoint-ment will be temporary. The successful candidate will serve from February through November this year.

To apply, provide a let-ter of interest and state-ment of qualifications by mail, email or fax to: Port of South Whidbey, PO Box 872, Freeland WA 98249.

Email should be sent to portfinance@portofsouth whidbey.com and the fax number is 360.331.5414.

Application materials may also be dropped off in person at the Port office located at 1804 Scott Rd., Ste. 101 in Freeland.

Applicants will be inter-viewed by the Board at a special meeting (date and time to be determined). For additional informa-tion, please contact port Executive Director Angi Mozer at 360.331.5494 or portfinance@portofsouth whidbey.com.

Help needed with homeless count

Volunteers are needed to assist with the annual Homeless ‘Point in Time’ Count to be conducted on Jan. 29.

The count is a nation-wide event which takes place in January. It is an effort to find how many individuals are homeless in each county.

This year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is requiring communities to seek out and count unsheltered people who are sleeping in places “unfit for human habita-tion,” such as in parks or on the street in addition to those residing in shel-ters.

Communities nation-wide are in the midst of recruiting and training volunteers to conduct

these unsheltered counts. To volunteer for the

South Whidbey count, contact Island County Housing Resource Coordinator Joanne Pelant at 360-678-7962 or Good Cheer Food Bank’s Community Outreach Coordinator Shawn Nowlin at 360-221-0130.

Sheriff’s office warns of mail theft

A recent rise in mail theft across Whidbey Island led the Island County Sheriff’s Office to release an official warn-ing Tuesday morning.

In an email alert, Sheriff Mark Brown wrote that thieves are looking to steal identities and/or alter checks sent in the mail.

He advised to check mail as soon as possible after its regular delivery time, especially if expect-ing packages or letters of value. He recommended installing locked mailbox-es or use of post office boxes.

“Please keep in mind that it is statistically safer to receive monthly or bi-monthly checks ‘electron-ically’ than it would be through the mail system,” Brown wrote.

A plum-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser with a dent in the rear hatch was reported by Brown as a possible suspect vehicle.

Report any suspicious activity near mail boxes to 911.

June Farrington has a host of memories and memorabilia from her deceased husband’s long career in the military and law enforcement.

There was one piece missing, and it was perhaps the most cru-cial element of Ed Farrington’s career: a Langley police badge.

That was rectified recently when Langley Police Chief Dave Marks dug through his office’s archives and old boxes to find a badge from the 1970s. Ed Farrington was a marshal in Langley during that period, short-ly after he and his wife moved to South Whidbey to raise their fam-ily and later return as retirees.

“This seemed like home to us,” said June in her Langley home. “This is where I intend to stay

until the day I die.” Ed Farrington died in 2011,

and since then his wife has been a serious steward of his awards, honors and memories. She has a scrapbook that has all of the press articles that mentioned him as a cop and as a member of the U.S. Navy. The binder is so full it bulg-es when closed, clearly stuffed with too many plastic sleeves protecting too many newspaper clippings.

The Langley badge completes her collection of his badges, which she will put in a framed case alongside his badges from being a Navy base firefighter and police officer in Adelanto, Calif.

“We’ve completed the shadow box here,” Marks said.

June Farrington has fond memories of her husband’s time as the representative of law and order in Langley. She recalled

being woken late so she could accompany him during arrests of women to avoid any charges of wrongdoing.

“He’d take me out of bed in the wee hours of the morning whenever he arrested a woman and go clear all the way to Mount Vernon,” she said.

Marks, who served as an offi-cer in Langley for years before being hired as the police chief, met Ed Farrington before he died. He said Ed came into the office a few times to bring old police gear — duty belts, a night stick — and memorabilia, including Ed Farrington’s officer’s log.

“It was pretty interesting,” Marks said.

“We don’t do it that much dif-ferent today,” he added, referring to the methods of policing he read about from Ed’s log and heard from June’s stories.

Former Langley marshal’s widow gets old badge

ResponseWhidbey General Hospital is rife with problemsEditor,

With a patient’s alleged assault by an administrator, administration’s resis-tance to a prosecuting attorney’s sub-poena and the commissioners’ lack of operational transparency, Whidbey General Hospital has been the subject of numerous local newspaper reports.

Another newsworthy issue is WGH’s being the only non-accredited hospital in the region. Although some of its pro-grams are accredited, the hospital as a whole is not. “Accreditation is the self-assessment and external peer assess-ment process used by health care orga-nizations to accurately assess their level of performance in relation to established standards and to implement ways to continuously improve.”

Accreditation is earned through orga-nizations such as the Joint Commission and DNV GL. Each has a “gold stan-dard” industry-proven basis for an objective evaluation and improvement process. The accreditation process is rig-orous because continual improvement in quality and patient safety must be demonstrated.

Whidbey General Hospital is certi-

fied by CMS (Medicare) through the inspection and licensing procedures of the Washington State Department of Health. According to the Department of Health’s website, this licensing is based on a hospital’s providing care within minimum health and safety stan-dards established by state law. If WGH chooses only the minimum standards to operate, do we really need a $50 million state-of-the-art wing?

WGH’s voluntary lack of accredita-tion, a standard of hospitals throughout the nation, is inexcusable. This situation is even noted on Consumer Report’s website. Because of the current hospital leadership’s aversion to public scrutiny and input there are only two ways island residents can receive more than mini-mum standards health care. The first is to leave the island via the bridge and the other is to leave on a ferry.

Hospital medical services are too expensiveEditor,

What is it about Whidbey General Hospital that seems to garner so much bad press? Can it be the outrageous pricing structure for medical proce-dures performed there? Perhaps. I just checked today (yet again) to compare pricing for seven common procedures and surprise, surprise, Whidbey General comes out one and a half to almost nine times as expensive as Everett or Seattle or even the national average. Heaven forbid I would quote any price compari-sons here (they might not be accurate after all) but I assure you it is very easy to look up on the internet and verify. Step right up folks. Pick a procedure, any procedure and be amazed at how expensive healthcare is on our lovely island. Sort of like the gasoline around here. How silly of me to think that folks were being snide when they say, “Unless you’re dying, get on the ferry if you need

Hospital leaders need to rethink transparency

Editorial

There’s an old saying out there that goes something like this: If one person calls you a donkey, forgive and forget. If two people call you one, think twice. But if three people say the same thing, it’s time to turn around and look for a tail.

When it comes to a lack of transparency and eroding public trust, Whidbey General Hospital is a donkey. Private citizens, former employees, the newspaper, most recently the Island County sheriff and prosecutor, and now the state Auditor’s Office — they’re all asking the same question: “What is going on at that hospital?”

One can’t help but wonder how many have to voice the same question before the commissioners snap to and hear the chorus of people screaming in their faces. Well, here’s the wake-up call, commissioners. There’s a problem at the hospi-tal, and everyone sees it but you.

Big institutions like the hospital, the largest government employer in Island County besides the U.S. Navy at nearly 700 workers, will always have a few people who, for whatever reasons, seem to have it out for the institution. Similarly, small community hospitals will always contend with a host of former patients who swear that doctors there are incompetent, that the cost of medical care is too much, etc.

While those complaints may have some merit, they’re not unusual at hospitals that serve small and isolated communi-ties. Whidbey General has many fine nurses and physicians, but the facility will never offer the same level of service as its metropolitan counterparts — it’s not designed to. As for the price, everything is more expensive on the island, so why would health care be any different?

But there’s something going on beyond the expected moans and groans about Whidbey General Hospital.

Hospital leadership in recent years has been increasingly and alarmingly closed, from changing the commissioners’ regular meeting time to 7 a.m. to the newspapers’ seemingly constant struggle to get information, or for that matter to sim-ply speak with top officials. To this effect, there seems to be a perspective among administrators that we “have it out” for the hospital.

That’s like saying we have it out for Island Transit. Neither is true. We’re just doing our jobs, explaining the facts and describing people’s concerns.

The hospital’s handling of the legal case involving Linda Gipson, chief nursing officer, has been deplorable. The sheriff questioned the hospital’s early defense of Gipson during the investigation, and the prosecutor is shaking his head over the lengths administrators went through to protect Gipson.

to get to a hospital.” What, you’ve heard that

one before? Hardly surpris-ing. Or maybe it’s something just as systemic, that being the ongoing Tomasino/Fulton/Gipson fiasco that is reported in this paper. Seems like there’s enough incompe-tence, subterfuge, and drama to fuel a soap opera. But this is real and there’s nothing in the least entertaining about it. About this time last year, a very good friend of mine was admitted to Whidbey General, strapped to a bed, given inappropriate medica-tions and mistreated to the point of great alarm to her partner and close friends. It took a special meeting involv-ing a court order from a judge to get her out of there and into a Seattle hospital where she quickly improved after appropriate and compe-tent treatment. This is not hearsay. I was there. The proceedings were recorded.

I wonder, after reading of this clearly similar situation in The Record, just how much of a problem this is.

It’s wonderful that we have a facility like Whidbey General available to us here on Whidbey Island. It’s ter-rible that it seems to be rife with incompetence and mis-management. If only it could be taken over by a medical organization or facility that knows how to run things right.

Shape It Up!

Imagine the excitement of going to a car dealership to purchase a shiny new vehicle. Your anticipation is high – until you pull into the lot. There you see a scattering of dusty vehicles parked helter-skelter around the building. Some have fl at tires, others are scratched and dented. If you even make a purchase, would you pay their full asking price?

Now imagine you’re a homeowner planning to sell. Your front door needs paint, the yard is choked with weeds, the carpet soiled, and the bathtubs need caulking. in short, the house is in a state of “deferred maintenance.”

What about the price? Most homeowners want to receive every dollar possible for their home. It’s only natural. So, the home is priced at top dollar. All that’s missing is a buyer.

Now imagine you’re a prospect for that home. Would you pay the asking price, given its present condition? The home is just begging for a low offer, isn’t it? Worse yet, many buyers would walk away, looking elsewhere for the home of their dreams.

If you plan to sell you home, be aware that buyers often offer $2 less for every $1 needed in repairs. It’s just a rule of thumb, but one which merits your attention. To receive top dollar, offer your home in model home condition – or it’s you who will pay the price.

The conflicting testimony in court last week of hospital CEO Tom Tomasino and Teresa Fulton, chief quality officer, is further troubling. It’s a strong indication of mis-management, or worse, and neither possibility improves the hospital’s already shaky public trust.

Now, Whidbey General has been included in a list of public agencies around Washington that failed in recent years to comply with a state law that requires local governments to file financial reports in a timely manner.

Where are the commis-sioners? Why aren’t they stepping in and demanding accountability? Why does it seem so clear that they are on the side of hospital administration, rather than the people who elected them to serve as their representa-tives? We urge the commis-sioners to ask themselves those same questions, and it couldn’t be more evident that we aren’t the only ones doing so.

But, if the message still isn’t clear, here it is again put in a different way.

Hee-hee, hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw.

OPINIONCONTINUED FROM A6

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A6

SportsSportsSportsPage A8 WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM Wednesday, January 14, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record

The South Whidbey boys basketball team got its first win of 2015 with a thumping of its island rival in Coupeville on Monday night.

South Whidbey cruised behind three-point shooting and a superb first quarter. The Falcons opened by hitting their first seven shots to take a 16-6 lead just a few minutes into the game, a non-league 1A match.

Falcon senior Chandler Sutton scored eight of South Whidbey’s first 16 points in the early run and finished with a second-best 23 points.

“Overall, I thought we played well,” said Falcon head coach Mike Washington Sr. “We would have liked to shoot better in the second quarter and rebound better in the third, but I am happy with the kids. They played hard.”

Coupeville made a run in the second quarter, cutting the lead to two points with five minutes left in the half. But South Whidbey countered with a 14-3 run, sparked by senior Parker Collins who hit two three-pointers and a pair of free throws. He made six of South

Whidbey’s 10 three-pointers and led all scor-ers with 27 points.

Every South Whidbey player, nine different Falcons, scored in the game.

Both teams got physi-cal in the second half as they combined to shoot 32 free throws in the final two quarters. South Whidbey struggled at the line, going 13-for-28 from the line.

Whidbey News Group sports editor Jim Waller

contributed to this report.


Free throws proved to be the difference for Cedarcrest’s girls basketball team in a 42-41 come-from-behind victory over South Whidbey on Friday night.

They were again crucial Monday against island rival Coupeville in a 43-32 loss.

In Coupeville, the Falcons’ offense fell flat for long stretches punctuated by a few brilliant bursts. Trailing by 17 points late in the third quarter, South Whidbey scored 11 points in 90 seconds, including a pair of threes from sophomore Emily Turpin, a three from sophomore Kacie Hanson and a two-pointer.

Early in the fourth quarter, Falcon sophomore Kinsey Eager scored and made a free throw, fol-lowed by another Hanson three to cut the lead to 37-31 with 2:23 left in the game.

South Whidbey failed to score another basket after that, finish-ing with one free throw, three turnovers and three missed shots as Coupeville hit six straight free throws in the final minute to secure the Wolves’ win and the Falcons sixth consecutive loss.

Last week, Cedarcrest’s players committed themselves to driving to the basket for layups and fouls. Sometimes they got both, chip-ping away at South Whidbey’s lead in the third and fourth quar-ters. But Cedarcrest hit five of its

eight free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter.

The Red Wolves rallied from

an eight-point deficit with four minutes left and regained the lead with 1:24 left in the game.

Offensive rebounding became a critical edge for the Red

Even at a junior var-sity tournament, South Whidbey’s wrestlers were the little fish in a big pond Saturday at Arlington High School.

All the same, three Falcons left as weight-class champi-ons amid stiff competition in a 300-plus field of grap-plers. Falcon head coach Jim Thompson said every wres-tler he took got at least three matches in, and mat time is the most important element as South Whidbey gears up for the postseason in a few weeks.

“That’s exactly what we’re looking for right now,” Thompson said.

Falcon sophomore Hunter Newman at 132 pounds, senior Josh McElhinny at 138 and sophomore Jack Nielsen at 145 each won their weight class.

“They really kind of domi-nated their guys,” Thompson said.

As for the rest of the Falcons, Thompson was more critical. He cited sev-eral issues with technique and strength, both of which will not be addressed lightly or quickly. All of the Falcons will work on starting from the down position, escap-ing and pinning to recover points.

“I don’t have a problem with their effort,” he said. “Their effort is there. … You just wrestled really good kids this week.”

South Whidbey scrapped its head-to-head meets, called dual meets, with Cascade Conference oppo-nents this season. With only eight wrestlers on the ros-ter, Thompson believes the trip didn’t make much sense for either team. Instead the Falcons are focusing on weekend tournaments that guarantee a minimum of two matches per wrestler, such as the King of the Mountain Tournament on Jan. 17 that South Whidbey will attend in Darrington.

There, the Falcons are going to face at least three ranked schools in different classifications, including 1B Darrington, 1A Sultan and 2A Cedarcrest.

“This is a good tournament for some of these guys to see where they are and where they’re going to be at the end of the year,” Thompson said.

Hearts & Hammers of South Whidbey is on the hunt for homes to repair for its annual workday, and the time to apply is now.

This year’s workday is set for May 2, but the deadline for those looking for assis-tance is Jan. 31, the volunteer organization announced in a recent news release.

Since 1994, Hearts & Hammers has repaired hundreds of homes, helping homeowners who physically or financially are unable to do the work alone. The mission is neighbors helping neigh-bors stay in their homes.

Hundreds of volunteers gather to bring whatever repairs and renovations are possible within the scope of a one-day work party. Last year over 36 homes received help from carpentry to clean up and trash removal, repairing floors and decks to replacing windows and doors.

According to the release, it’s a day of volunteering for plumbers and electricians, gardeners and just regular folks who come to lend a helping hand. Priority is given to health and safety concerns at no cost to the

homeowner because of the support of the community. This is also possible because of donations of labor and materials from many local businesses and the efforts of hundreds of local volunteers.

“As we enter our 22nd year it is good to see that so many volunteers, with help from community resources, keep home owners safe and healthy in their homes,” said Ross Goodwin, president of Hearts & Hammers.

It is not just the homeown-ers who appreciate the help, added Goodwin, but volun-teers also gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfac-tion having an opportunity to help their community.

The volunteer kick-off will begin with a spaghetti din-ner on Friday, Feb. 13 at the Langley United Methodist Church, starting early this year from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Cost is $5.

If you are a homeowner and would like to be consid-ered for help, visit the web-site www.heartsandhammers.com or call 360-221-6063.

A Hearts and Hammers board member will be in touch. For emergency needs that can’t wait for the annual workday, call right away. Financial donations to help continue this work can be made through the web site or mailed to PO Box 694, Langley WA 98260.

Wolves late in the game. Cedarcrest (2-3 Cascade Conference, 4-6 overall) capitalized on several sec-ond-chance opportunities, including the go-ahead basket that came after a missed shot on a putback by Red Wolf sophomore Kennedy Howell, who finished with a team-high 10 points.

South Whidbey recov-ered from a sluggish sec-ond quarter and surged into halftime. Trailing 20-9 with 3:32 left in the sec-ond quarter, the Falcons got going after junior Morgan Davis banked in a pair of three-pointers. The Falcons’ defense held together to cut the lead 20-15 at the break.

From the first play of the second half, the Falcons looked to have

held their momentum. Sophomore Kinsey Eager, who led all scorers with 14 points, hit a short jump shot just seconds into play. She scored the next two baskets for South Whidbey to tie the score at 23-23.

Abby Hodson, a Falcon senior, stayed busy defen-sively by tipping and stealing several passes, including one that led to a driving layup to take the lead, the Falcons’ first of the game nearly 21 min-

utes into the match. Creating turnovers

extended the Falcons’ lead through the rest of the third quarter. Another Hodson steal led to a Mackenzie Collins layup that pushed their lead to four points.

But the Red Wolves would not go quietly, and roared back with defen-sive pressure of their own to tie the game at 27-27 until another Eager layup put South Whidbey on top at the end of the period.

The Falcons nearly had the game sealed with an eight-point lead midway through the final quarter. Cedarcrest’s offensive attack caught South Whidbey’s aggressive defenders and put the Red Wolves at the line for free throws.

South Whidbey fin-ished with nine-of-17 free-throw shooting, and Cedarcrest with 10 of 17 in a one-point victory for the Red Wolves. After missing a pair of three throws, Eager scored on an inbounds play to retake the lead 41-40 with 42 sec-onds remaining. Howell answered with a pick-and-roll layup, leaving South Whidbey with seconds for a shot at the victory, but Eager’s attempt missed and a desperation jumper by Davis bounced off the rim, securing Cedarcrest’s win and South Whidbey’s fifth straight loss.

Hearts & Hammers seeks homes

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

When Langley choreog-rapher and dance teacher Daunne Bacon Zinger herni-ated two of the discs of her spine, doctors told her she would likely never dance again. But Bacon Zinger heeded the words of her idol, jazz dance icon Luigi Faccuito; she never stopped moving.

With the help of physical therapy, steroid injections and Faccuito’s signature rehabilitative dance routine, Bacon Zinger regained her strength. Eventually, she was able to discard her wheelchair and return to the studio.

Bacon Zinger recently returned from a week-long workshop at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., where she co-taught Luigi’s dance routine to a group of actors and fellow dancers. The workshop was part of the preparation process for an upcoming musical entitled “Never Stop Moving: Luigi’s Legacy.” The play pays hom-age to the life and legacy of jazz-dance innovator Eugene “Luigi” Faccuito and is expected to debut at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in December.

Bacon Zinger, who earned a later-in-life bachelor of arts degree in dance from the University of Washington in 2011, said she is overjoyed to have been invited to take part in the creative process of producing the honorary musical.

Karen Setlowe, play-wright, has been research-ing, writing and developing the story for the past seven years. Setlowe invited Bacon Zinger to attend the work-shop after meeting her at an annual summer course at Faccuito’s famed dance stu-dio in New York City.

“This workshop was a life-changing experience,” Bacon Zinger said, in a press release. “To share a dance technique that I have embod-ied since the 1970s, and to share Luigi’s dance wisdom with musicians, actors and playwrights in a retreat-like environment went well beyond my expectations.”

Bacon Zinger began dancing ballet at age 8; but four years later was told her ankles were not strong

enough to withstand the physical demands of pointe shoes.

Somewhat hesitantly, Bacon Zinger took up jazz dance, which she came to enjoy thoroughly. She first learned of Faccuito while pursuing a minor in dance at college in the 1970s. The dancer, choreographer and teacher was at the height of his career at the time.

“I liked the fluidity, the grace, the fact that it was based in ballet which I was familiar with,” she said, adding that the ease of Faccuito’s technique on the body was an added benefit which she appreciated all the more as she grew older.

The technique, she recalled, was simple to learn yet challenging to master.

The “Luigi method” became the world’s first for-mal jazz technique, accord-ing to offjazz.com.

The first of the method’s tenets, explained Bacon Zinger, is to “never stop moving.” Faccuito, himself a dancer since childhood, moved from Ohio to Hollywood at age 21. He embodied and developed his signature method after a car wreck left one side of his body paralyzed and his eyes permanently crossed.

Though doctors said he would never dance again, Faccuito rehabilitated him-self through the art form he so loved.

His method, Bacon

Zinger said, is unique in its rehabilitative qualities. It strengthens the body with-out wearing it down, making it a dance form accessible to every body and ability.

Positions like the “locked fourth,” designed to protect dancer’s knees, and the concept of putting “the good side into the bad side,” are distinct Faccuito moves.

After regaining his strength — though he was still partially paralyzed for life — he resumed his professional dance career. A talent agent for Gene Kelly discovered him, grant-ing him a gig as a chorus dancer in a film with Kelly.

Faccuito quickly became well-known as a teacher, dancer and choreographer in Hollywood and New York City. Throughout his career he choreographed and danced in dozens of shows and taught numerous celeb-rities including Goldie Hahn, Ben Vereen, Madonna, Bette Midler, John Travolta, Liza Minelli and Betty White.

“Luigi always defined jazz dancing for me,” Travolta once remarked.

In addition to Luigi’s title as “the father of American jazz dancing,” he became recognized for his encourag-ing, patient teaching style and his method’s rehabilita-

tive properties. Students pos-sessing various skill levels and challenges have used the Luigi method to regain agility.

“That’s one of the rea-sons I was enamored with the technique,” said Bacon Zinger. “You can do the exercises whether you’re a stroke victim, whether you’re in a wheelchair, whether you are Barbra Streisand or Liza Minelli or an up-and-coming Broadway performer, or just a normal person who loves to teach dance on Whidbey Island.”

Bacon Zinger first taught Luigi’s jazz dance after col-lege, but said she decided to

put her dreams on hold due to financial struggles. She obtained her master’s degree in public administration and became a construction man-ager before retiring in 2006 and returning to school to pursue her passion.

In the summer of 2008, she attended Luigi’s dance workshop in New York City, co-taught by studio director Francis Roach, for the first time.

“The workshop changed my life,” said Bacon Zinger. “The fact that I could con-tinue that technique at that time, at my age… and enjoy dance again, was a real rev-elation.”

Bacon Zinger recalled that her “heart was shaking” prior to meeting her idol in person for the first time.

“It was like meeting a rock star,” she said with a grin. After introducing herself, she recalled that Faccuito kissed her hand and wel-comed her to his studio.

Bacon Zinger has attend-ed the workshop every sum-mer since, other than in 2010 when she faced her spinal injury. When she returned in summer 2011, she said, she was thrilled to be able to attend every one of the workshop classes without experiencing pain.

Although Faccuito is approaching his 90th birth-day, he still attends classes to offer words of encourage-ment and new choreography. Teaching duties have been taken up by others, primarily Roach.

In 2012, Bacon Zinger began teaching Saturday morning classes at Sojourn Studios, where she contin-ues to instruct students in her mentor’s technique and philosophy.

“When I can see that they’ve done a movement that brings them joy, I’ve done my mission. That comes from my experience with Luigi. He taught me to be a better teacher.”

In addition to her classes, Bacon Zinger has incorpo-rated Luigi’s style into her choreography in shows such as the upcoming Whidbey Playhouse Theater produc-tion of “Spamalot.”

“I can’t think of too many better feelings than to empower other people to feel the joy of dance,” said Bacon Zinger.

Whidbey General Hospital Chief Financial Officer Frank Hemeon, who started in the posi-tion last year, provided comments on the auditor’s report in an emailed state-ment.

“Whidbey General Hospital is committed to transparency in finances and to meeting all regula-tory requirements,” he wrote.

Hemeon explained that Whidbey General Hospital, as required by law, has two audits each year. One is conducted by state auditors and the others is an inde-pendent audit conducted by Moss Adams.

Both audits are public records and are presented to hospital commissioners.

“In the case of Whidbey General Hospital, the appro-priate audits have been con-ducted in a timely man-ner but not uploaded to the state website,” Hemeon wrote. “At no time was this identified in a state audit as an area of significant concern.”

But Thomas Shapley, a spokesman for the audi-tor’s office, said that the audits and the financial reports are two separate issues that shouldn’t be

confused. The law requires governmental agencies to file financial reports with

the auditor’s office within 150 days after the end of the fiscal year.

He explained that it normally takes longer than 150 days after the end of a fiscal year for audit reports to be released; as a result, lawmakers require the timely reporting of finan-cial reports so that more current information is avail-able. He said the reports are public and are used by state lawmakers, lending agencies and citizens.

“If you live in a district, it’s pretty tough to hold leadership of the district accountable if you don’t know what the numbers are,” he said.

Also, Shapley explained that some of the smaller districts don’t have regular,

in-person audits, so the financial reports are the only way for the state to

look at the books. This doesn’t apply to the hospi-tal, however.

Tom Shaughnessy, director of Island County Emergency

Services Communications Center, said the agency had trouble filing in the past because of a software glitch that has since been fixed.

Whidbey General, ICOM and the smaller districts aren’t alone in noncompli-ance. Almost 300 of nearly 2,000 local government entities have missed the deadline or failed to file for three consecutive years. Among those are 22 of the state’s 58 hospital districts.

Shapley said audits could have issued official “find-ings” in auditor reports to all the noncompliance enti-ties, but he said it seemed like too stern an approach and would have upset many local government officials. Instead, Kelley issued the report as a more gentle way to coax compli-ance.

Shapley said there isn’t any penalty for noncompli-ance. The auditor’s office is a reporting agency, not an enforcement agency, he said.

“It’s up to the constitu-ents to hold local govern-ment accountable,” he said.

According to Hemeon, complying with the law isn’t a simple matter.

“A substantial amount of financial data must be manually reformatted and uploaded to the state web-site,” he wrote. “Attempted uploads are sometimes unsuccessful, adding to the amount of time and resources required to com-ply with regulations.”

“Despite these obstacles, we will continue to work with the state to fulfill our regulatory requirements at all times,” he added.

Shapley said that his

office provides free, in-per-son, annual classes to local governments with the goal of helping them file their annual reports. Trainers traveled to all 39 coun-ties in early 2014 to train employees and managers representing more than 600 local governments.

In addition, he pointed out that most of the much smaller districts, with very limited resources, manage to meet the requirement.

Shapley also said the reports can be simply mailed in, though he said the auditor’s office would greatly prefer the informa-tion be entered online.

The Auditor’s Office issued a formal finding against the hospital in 2014.

Auditors found that the hospital made more than $180,000 in overpayments to employees and employ-ees accrued nearly 23 hours of unearned time off in 2012 and 2013. Auditors found that the hospital had inadequate controls over the payroll system.

The overpayments were repaid before the audit report was issued.

Group.The luncheons are Jan. 16,

19 and 22.“It’s all about the right fit,”

Kingsley said. “All the three candidates are qualified exec-utives, and I think it’s just a matter of who’s going to be the best fit.”

The process of narrowing the field of candidates to three was a long one that started after Kingsley was hired in August.

Kingsley said she received between 25 to 40 resumes. She then worked with a search committee from the hospital, consisting of two community members, two board members, includ-ing Tarrant, a physician and nurse from Whidbey General as well as a private practice doctor.

Kingsley and the commit-tee narrowed the field to nine candidates to present to the board, which conducted back-ground checks on six of those candidates. After that, four were brought for interviews.

After that, only three remained in the running.

“It’s always a challenge to

find the right person for the right organization,” Kingsley said. “We had a very good response to the Whidbey posi-tion. So, even though it’s a small entity, I think the loca-tion is one people are excited about … and think it would be a great place to live.”

The hiring process followed by Kingsley and the hospital is one that Kingsley said she has utilized in past searches for small, public hospitals.

“I’m following what she has done with them,” said Tarrant.

“And I’ve also spoken with their boards, and I’m follow-ing the same process that they went through.”

If Whidbey General opts to go with none of the three remaining candidates, it will start the search over again instead of pulling from the same pool of applicants, said Tarrant.

She added the selection process would probably take just as long.

The remainder of the hir-ing process includes the meet-and-greet luncheons, another round of interviews and a tour of the hospital for each of the candidates.

“We’re hoping to have made an offer by the end of the month,” Tarrant said.


To all our Linds friends & associates,Some positive changes are coming soon and we wanted you to hear directly from your friends at Linds Freeland Pharmacy.

At the end of the business day on Friday, January 16th, 2015, Rite Aid will be taking over the prescription, health and beauty aids, cosmetic and several other departments at Linds. Linds will be moving next door to the space between our current pharmacy and Flowers by the Bay. We are currently working with our landlords regarding an expansion of the current space.

We are working closely with Rite Aid to make sure there is a seamless transfer of all your prescription information and needs. You can be confi dent you will be taken care of by the same folks who have been helping you for so many years at Linds. They’ll be wearing new outfi ts, but the same people will be providing you with the professional care you have learned to expect from Linds Freeland Pharmacy.

As we have established our partnership with Rite Aid we have found them to be fair and cooperative. We are sure your relationship with Rite Aid will be equally satisfying.

These positive changes will provide you with more options and choices: Prescription service from the pharmacy staff you know and trust utilizing the most current pharmacy technology, more categories of merchandise to choose among from Rite Aid, and the same service and goods you have always enjoyed at Linds. We hope you share our excitement as we venture into this new era.

As always, thank you for your loyal patronage and friendship.Sincerely,

The Linds family

lRhode Island and Alaska … I have no interest in going to a cold place.”

Being a bit of a traveler makes him well versed in chatting with people about their mail’s delivery address. One person’s pack-age, destined for an area in Seattle, drew Wills’ atten-tion because he recalled getting lost in the neighbor-hood while coming home

from the opera. In Clinton, which no

longer has a coffee house, Wills said the post office is one of the area’s last regular meeting places. He described it as a conver-gence of disparate people with a common goal of get-ting their mail or sending it out.

“I feel that post offices are the people’s place,” he said. “It’s where you meet and talk to each other.”

“It’s different from the big city. You know people

here,” he added. On the longevity of his

career, and advice for any others seeking to emulate his mainstay in one job for more than three decades, he gave a short response: “Do what you wanna do and get by in life.”

Any well-wishers hop-ing to bid him farewell into retirement can visit him at the post office on Jan. 30, between the regular hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ben Watanabe / The Record

James Will will retire from the Clinton post office later this month after 34 years.
