Wild winds wreak havoc
‘There’s been more property damage from this storm than any other I can remember.’ — Jon Beck, South Whidbey Fire/EMS
Hospital contests prosecutor’s subpoena in chief nurse assault case By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record

Kirk Highberger and Molly Brewer hop downed trees at Jon Gulledge and Roberta Gentry’s house on Saratoga Road. About 10 large trees fell over the property, including one that smashed through their roof.
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record The December wind storm of 2014 won’t be forgotten anytime soon, not on South Whidbey anyway. Beginning at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday evening, the South End was slammed by winds that downed hundreds of trees, resulting in scores of power outages, an unknown number of blocked roads and driveways, and damaging private property from Clinton to Greenbank. One unlucky couple, Jon Gulledge and Roberta Gentry, even had a tree smash through the roof of their two-story house on Saratoga Road. “They’re lucky to be alive,” said Kirk Highberger, who was
there helping clear away wreckage Friday morning. Gulledge and his wife were upstairs at about 8:30 p.m. when they started hearing a series of snapping noises outside. A second later the lights went out. Then, a short time after that, a falling branch shattered the skylight of Gentry’s home-based salon, which is right next to their bedroom. “I went downstairs to get something to clean it up and then heard a crunch,” Gulledge said. The fallen tree hit with enough force to snap the ceiling’s main support beam and leave broken drywall and insulation hanging in disarray. Gulledge, a remodeling contractor, said the damages could top $40,000 but that it was too early to tell SEE STORM, A9
Whidbey General Hospital is fighting a subpoena from the Island County prosecutor seeking an internal investigation report into allegations that the chief nursing officer assaulted a restrained patient. The prosecution is simultaneously fighting the chief nursing officer’s subpoena of all the alleged victim’s medical records. A deputy prosecutor likens the nurse’s request to harassment of a rape victim, according to court documents. Linda Gipson, the chief nursing officer, faces one count of fourth-degree assault in a case that’s become unusually complex for a gross misdemeanor charge. Island County District Court Judge Bill Hawkins will hear arguments over the subpoenas duces tecum during a hearing set for Monday afternoon. The prosecutor’s office isn’t the only entity that’s requesting a copy of the
internal investigation. The South Whidbey Record asked for a copy of the investigation, but was denied. In an email to a Whidbey News Group

Dozens take shot at coding during national event By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Whidbey Makers was a flurry of typing and swiping Wednesday. Dozens of children turned out for Computer Science Education Week events on South Whidbey. Organized by Whidbey Makers and the Atlantis ROV team, several lessons were planned to introduce and encourage people to try out computer science through coding. Atlantis mentor Ashley McConnaughey
said about 40 children took part in the first Hour of Code in Clinton, with several more at the handful of other events throughout the day. Held at the vast lab spaces of Whidbey Makers in Clinton, the first Hour of Code event was a mixed bag of good and bad. The good: a couple dozen students between the ages of four and 18, plus adults into their 70s, showed up to take part in the international Hour of Code. The bad: code.org crashed because an estimated 60 million people logged on
for the annual event, a four-fold jump from last year, and some devices were unable to connect to Whidbey Makers’ wireless router because of water damage. Of the two dozen children, it was about an equal split between boys and girls. Statistics repeatedly show that mostly boys and men take to electronics.

A tram-like device would be installed along the Cascade Avenue bluff to move people and their belongings from the town’s commercial core to the marina off Wharf Street.

Mayor Fred McCarthy included it as part of the 2015 budget because otherwise the city could not move forward with the project next year without an amendment to the budget.

People make a mad dash at Seawall Park in search of glass sea floats during the 2014 scramble in Langley.
Langley Main Street Association and Callahan’s Firehouse in Langley are starting off the New Year with a treasure hunt, and everyone
is invited. The Sea Float Scramble begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, at Langley’s Seawall Park off First Street. Glass artist Callahan McVay has created oneof-a-kind blown glass sea floats that will be hidden near Langley’s waterfront. The hunt begins once the starting ribbon is dropped. The float you find is yours to keep. The event is geared to be fun for all ages and participation is free.
A second location for the scramble has been added at the park at Second Street and Anthes Avenue for youngsters 5 and under, and those with disabilities who need easier access. All sea floats will be hidden in plain sight, no digging necessary, no beating the
bushes. The floats are on display until the day of the event in front of Callahan’s Fire House on Second Street. For more information, contact Langley Main Street Association at 360 929-9333 or mainstreet@ whidbey.com.

Hospital officials should hand over incident report
Fourth-degree assault charges were recently filed against a leading Whidbey General Hospital administrator, Chief Nursing Officer Linda Gipson. She’s accused of choking a restrained patient who was allegedly not cooperating with hospital staff. While the jury is still out, it seems WGH decision makers aren’t waiting for a verdict to decide her innocence. From an initial letter to the newspaper backing Gipson, which was sent out before police had concluded an official investigation — one that led the prosecutor to believe enough evidence existed to file charges — to their most recent refusal to hand over an internal investigation to newspapers and the prosecutor’s office, they’ve made their position and their support clear. In fact, this issue came up in court. The deputy prosecutor wrote in a motion that the hospital administration “have unequivocally established the hospital administration’s official position that the defendant is ‘innocent.’ ” The hospital’s seeming position is a mistake. Standing by employees is one thing, but making predeterminations is another, especially when the alleged victim is a patient. In addition, the witnesses against Gipson are nurses. Taking sides doesn’t seem like a wise move on the part of the administration. Everyone in the United States is innocent until proven guilty, and Gipson may well be. There is certainly much evidence to say that hospital workers have a tough time caring for patients who may be mentally unstable, but a verdict is for a judge to decide — not hospital decision makers. The hospital and its attorneys should make every effort to cooperate with county prosecutors and let the legal process work.
First responders did an awesome job after storm
South Whidbey was hit by a massive windstorm this week, one of the biggest and most destructive in years. The power went out, downed trees blocked roads everywhere, and homes were damaged. It’s a wonder that despite so much destruction, most roads were drivable by noon on Friday morning. South Whidbey Fire/EMS alone cleared more than 200 downed trees in about 10 hours. That’s pretty incredible, and the district’s 45 volunteers, responding to more than 100 calls, deserve our thanks. Island County Public Works road crews did a great job too, as did police, Puget Sound Energy and other response workers. The power was still out in many areas by press time, but all in all, Whidbey’s emergency crews did a great job managing a pretty hefty storm.

How about all the facts before proceeding? Editor, Eric Levine’s viewpoint expressed concern about a few opponents to constructing an elevator or funicular who may not have all the facts. I am one of those. Eric said he composed a summary of answers to many questions. He forgot some. Where is parking for those using the device? At this past Langley City Council, staff disclosed a five-year trial arrangement to use school parking during the summer. Insufficient for year-round use for the device’s life. No sense spending $500,000 or more (the council estimated $800,000) with a short-term parking arrangement for only summer months. Where will customers of the proposed restaurant park? Eric provided limited measurements
by phone to someone that makes funiculars. Based on that sketchy information their “preliminary estimate” was within the $500,000 grant and repairs and maintenance would be included. The council has no estimate for operating and maintaining the device. Yet to be determined. The grant does not cover repairs and maintenance. Eric says it’s a solution for people “designated orthopedically disabled or otherwise unable to get up and down to the marina unassisted.” He did not say how the orthopedically disabled would get to and from the funicular unassisted. If a car drops them off on Cascade, could a car alternatively drop them off at the marina? I am not against helping disabled people but there are options. Any answers? He says the device would hold the wheeled carts that boaters use for gear and provisions. Will wheeled carts be available to boaters at the school parking lot? Will boaters leave them at the marina and push them back to their cars upon return? Or drive to the marina to load and unload?

It is said this device will add to Langley’s economic success. No projections have been made to show who will benefit and by how much. Would you make a huge long-term commitment of taxpayer money without good estimates of taxpayers’ future cost of cleaning, operation and maintenance?

‘A Christmas Story’ Not To Be Missed! Editor, We’re a little biased, being that our daughter has a small role in this production, but what a show! Whidbey Island Center for the Arts has done it again with “A Christmas Story.” Under the direction of the incomparable Deana Duncan, this play is heartfelt, humorous, and fun for the entire family. South Whidbey is fortunate to have such a variety of talented actors from whom to choose. The young performers simply steal the show. Audience members of all ages guffawed, chortled and smiled through both funfilled acts. Bring the family (even the youngest of young) and forget your troubles for a couple of hours. It’s a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season.

Ten turnovers in the fourth quarter spelled doom for the South Whidbey boys basketball team in the Falcons’ first loss of the season, 50-47, to the Sultan Turks in Langley. Sultan took a seven-point lead in the first quarter and held it until early in the third quarter. South Whidbey regained the lead and extended it to a five-point edge going into the final period. But the Turks employed a fullcourt press defense and forced 10 turnovers to speed up the game, regain the lead and hold on for a nail-biter win. “We went to the pressure and sped the game up a little bit,” said Turk head coach Nate Trichler. “We turned it over a little bit, but they turned it over a lot.” “An island win’s a good win. It doesn’t matter what the final score is, as long as you come away with a win,” he added. South Whidbey had its full roster in only the second game the Falcons have played this season. After missing seniors Mo Hamsa and Chandler Sutton in last week’s opening win over Coupeville, both were inserted into the starting lineup. That gave first-year Falcon head coach Mike Washington a big and tall squad to try to overpower the smaller Turks who were missing their tallest player, 6-foot-3 senior
er to the Turks, despite getting a game-high 21 points from sophomore Megan Drake. The Falcons received a trio of scoring from Drake,
Deion Bonilla. “I think our height is an advantage all the way,” Hamsa said after his first game since injuring his ankle last week. “We just have to learn to play as more of a team.” Where South Whidbey tried to outmuscle, Sultan elected to outhustle. The Turks swarmed Falcon senior Parker Collins any time he got the ball near the basket, leading to several turnovers as South Whidbey tried again and again to get the ball their leading scorer, a likely Cascade Conference most valuable player candidate. “When you’ve got the best player in the conference, you go to that,” Hamsa said. “You can’t stop that kid. We want to use every part of our team because that’s how our offense works. But he’s definitely shown that he can score the basketball real well.” Fouls also limited the Falcons’ size early in the game. Hamsa had to sit out much of the first half after picking up his second foul in the first quarter. Defensively, South Whidbey appeared in disarray a few times. After last week’s win, Washington said the Falcons needed to work more on their zone defenses, but believed their best option was a man-to-man defense to utilize the players’ size, length and speed. Relying on playing smart, Sultan was able to break South Whidbey’s defense enough times to win, Trichler said.
senior Abby Hodson and sophomore Kinsey Eager. Hodson added 10 points, Eager nine. Only three other Falcons scored, however, while the Turks had

“We actually tried to put the smartest kids on him, so they saw what was happening to get position before the ball got reversed,” Trichler said. “We knew we weren’t going to be stronger than him. He’s four inches taller than us.” In the final four minutes, the score changed and was tied five times. The go-ahead point was a layup by Turk junior Tyler Morris, who finished with 13 points, tied for a team-high with Kolton Anderson and Chris Walcott, who hit four three-pointers for the fourth time this season. Free-throw shooting was off for the Falcons, who made 19-of-27 last week. Against Sultan, South Whidbey went 10-of-17, while the Turks were comparable at 10-of-18. Sultan had 18 turnovers, according to Trichler’s statistics, only two shy of South Whidbey’s 20. The difference was that half of the Falcons’ lost possessions came in the critical closing quarter. Even when South Whidbey had a chance to tie the game in the final minute, a series of turnovers stunted their ability to score. The one clean look the Falcons had resulted in a pull-up jumper by Collins to cut the lead to 49-47. Collins led all scorers with 28 points, but no other Falcon scored more than five points. “Their guards are really quick and they’re smart, they reach in and get the ball away,” Hamsa said. “It’s really hard to deal with that.”
seven scorers, led by Khayla Mackenzie’s 12 points. The score was tied 19-19 at halftime, but Sultan broke out to a seven-point lead at the end of the third
quarter. South Whidbey made a furious rally, scoring 18 points in the final eight minutes, but Sultan kept pace, also scoring 18 points.

for sure. It’s also unclear how this will impact Gentry’s business, as she has a steady stream of customers but now no place to serve them — people such as Freeland resident Molly Brewer who showed up Friday morning for her scheduled haircut. “It’s just shocking, totally shocking,” she said. “And it’s really sad for them. At least nobody was hurt.” When asked what they’d do, Gulledge could only shrug. “I have no idea at this point,” he said. The couple’s yard and driveway was a disaster area. The snapping they heard was the felling of about 10 large trees that blocked access to the house. “The wind obviously came funneling through here, knocking them over one after another, like bowling pins,” said Highberger, who is Gulledge’s business partner. Neighbors also reported damages; one had a trailer crushed, another a small playhouse. Much of Saratoga Road was blocked by downed trees until late Friday morning. According to Jon Beck, deputy chief for South Whidbey Fire/EMS, Gulledge’s and Gentry’s home was one of about a dozen that were dam-

As of press time on Friday, about 45 district volunteers had responded to well over 100 calls, the vast majority of which were clearing downed trees. “We probably cleared over 200, easy … and there were so many we couldn’t touch because of power lines,” Beck said. “I know we have a lot of chainsaws that need sharpening.” As of 10 a.m. Friday, Walt Blackford, South Whidbey’s community services manager for Puget Sound Energy, said the utility company still had 43,000 customers system-wide without power, totaling 730 outage locations. “South Whidbey was one
of the hardest hit areas, by far,” Blackford said. He confirmed many communities on South Whidbey were still without power, but could not say for sure when service would be restored. Procedure is to assess damages, and work backwards from the biggest problem areas to smaller ones. Work may continue on into the weekend, he said.

people try to drive through it with their nice cars, but it’s saltwater not freshwater,” he added. It’s terrible for cars, he said, and should be avoided. Andy Campbell, manager of the Freeland Water and Sewer District, which is headquartered on Woodard, said cars in past years have attempted the road and gotten stuck. “It’s a river running through there,” said Campbell, adding that parts of the road were submerged by up to four feet of water last year. The problem has been better since county road crews began closing the road. With weather this weekend expected to improve, Oakes said the emergency declaration would likely be kept in place until Monday as a precaution.

ees to go onto private property to fix the problem. “Contrary to what people think, we don’t go onto private property unless it’s an emergency or we have permission,” he said. Oakes said South Whidbey had not been hit with any landslides or bluff collapses, which often follow heavy rain. Much of East Shoreview Drive and the intersection at South Woodard Avenue were closed, however, due to a high tide. Water flowed freely over the roadway Wednesday and Thursday mornings, then began to recede. Matt Nichols, CEO of Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, said the flooding did not interrupt work. It happens about three or four times a year and crews manage the water with sandbags in the northeast corner of the shipyard, he said. “We’re pretty accustomed to it,” Nichols said. “The shocking thing is

While the destruction was still being assessed, not just on Whidbey Island but across Western Washington, some news agencies were calling this the worst storm since 2006. Wind gusts clocked at 69 mph at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island were among the highest in the region. Thursday’s storm came on the heels of a community already saturated with days of rain and high tides. Island County commissioners declared a state of emergency Wednesday after four homes in the Mutiny Bay area were being threatened with floodwaters. According to Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works, an outfall to the beach was blocked with sand and caused rainwater to back up. Workers cleared the sand with hand tools and the water began to drain. He didn’t have an estimate of damages, but said several outbuildings were flooded, and the foundations of the homes were in danger. Oakes explained that the emergency declaration allows public works employ-

Clinton Do Jahng kicks off the new year with taekwondo By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record As a kid, Robert Armstrong Jr. was enthralled with martial arts movies such as those starring the legendary Bruce Lee. Though he could not read Chinese characters, called hanzi in Mandarin, Armstrong procured and subsequently devoured a book on the art of kung fu. “I was not a rich kid, but I found a book on kung fu and I wanted to be like the guy in there. I wanted to be like Bruce Lee,” said Amstrong, recalling countless days over two years spent in his backyard attempting to replicate the moves. “I just got worse, I didn’t get better,” Armstrong said with a chuckle. Eventually, he said, his dad loaded him into the truck for a trip to a Do Jahng (taekwondo studio) near his home in Redhook, N.Y., the only martial arts studio in the area. “I put the uniform on, got onto the mat and never looked back,” Armstrong said. “The first day I was completely sold on it. I loved it.” Thirty years later, Armstrong holds a fourth degree black belt in taekwondo from the American
taekwondo Association, a black belt with the World taekwondo Federation and a black belt in the United States Marine Corps Combat Mixed Martial Arts. Armstrong opened the Do Jahng at Ken’s Korner in August when he and his family relocated from California to Clinton at the end of his over 20-year career in the U.S. Marine Corps. Amstrong’s taekwondo is the only Do Jahng on South Whidbey and one of two on the island. “I’ve been teaching taekwondo for over 20 years,” he said. “And since South Whidbey doesn’t have a taekwondo school, it was just a great opportunity to open one up and bring it to our community.” Recently, Armstrong approached the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District program coordinator Carrie Monforte and discussed his desire to share more of his programs with the community by offering additional self-defense and taekwondo classes with the parks and recreation district, which will begin in January. “I can’t teach someone how to defend themselves in one to two [sessions],” he said. “But I can give them the basics. The big thing is

practicing again and again and again.” Armstrong explained that self-defense techniques largely come down to muscle memory, though in his lengthier taekwondo classes he takes it a step further by having students do drills and cardio work prior to selfdefense practice at the end of the session. “You need to be able to do self-defense when you’re

stressed out,” he explained. “Hopefully you don’t ever have to use it, but if you do have to one day, you’ll be equipped with the basics.” In addition to self-defense practice and a healthy dose of exercise, students at Armstrong’s Do Jahng learn about Korean culture and ways in which to incorporate elements of taekwondo philosophy into everyday life. Words like “integrity” and “self control” line the walls of the studio to remind students of the principles. Armstrong said it provides a good reinforcement for the lessons younger students learn in school and at home. In addition, students earn victory patches for accomplishments in and outside of class, and earn stars by doing things such as earning an “A” on a spelling test or demonstrating the core values. “It reinforces positive behavior outside of the Do Jahng,” said Armstrong. All of the lessons and exercises, he added, are designed to be enjoyable. For beginners, belt levels are associated with animals like the tiger and turtle, each of which has its own accompanying storybook. For older students, the courses continue to contain plenty of energy and fun. “They’re learning through fun,” said Armstrong. “If they’re not having fun, there’s something wrong.” Current students range from the age of three to 61 and join at various skill levels. Michaela Terrell, age 10,

Both she and fellow student Dane Saxton, also a yellow belt, say their initial attraction to the art form was inspired largely by films like “The Karate Kid.” Through participation in the classes, both students said they’ve noticed changes in themselves outside of the Do Jahng as well as increased skill levels within, and enjoy “pretty much everything” about the art form. Classes through the South Whidbey Parks and

Policy, women represented 24 percent of workforce in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, called STEM, in 2011. Atlantis’ reputation and cache brought a handful of tech professionals from Alaska Airlines and Microsoft’s Surface team to help at the Whidbey event. “The cool thing about coding is you can start dreaming things up, code it, and make it reality,” said Allison Korczynski, a hardware engineer at Microsoft who worked on the Surface tablet. Attending the event was part of the Surface team’s desire to reach out and inspire children and especially girls to pursue STEM fields and professions. She and her colleagues met the Atlantis girls during the Sally Ride Science Festival at the University of Washington, Bothell in October. Atlantis asked if they’d be willing to attend their coding day, and three Microsoft professionals came.

Eros Harper and Aidan Doña [needs accent above n] tinkered with a video game they’ve been “hacking,” the term for using an available or open source code and altering it in such a way as to make it their own. “So that they’re the enemies I want,” Aidan said. They were changing “Cave Story.” Eros worked on the two-dimensional textures, objects and characters within the game, by creating new

“This is really motivating to me,” Korczynski said, adding that when she was the age of the children at the first event, there were no events like this. “The level of STEM outreach isn’t always there,” she added. “We want to expose STEM a little bit.” Skill levels varied widely among the participants. Marcia Monma, a computer programmer for 30 years, was there tinkering with the tutorials for fun and to help anyone if they needed.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:
AQUARIUS, PISCES, AND ARIES.
Week of December 14 to 20, 2014 ARIES
You have a little cleaning up to do within your circle of friends. Your partner and your family are your priority. You don’t need any freeloaders who spoil the quality of your relationships.
TAURUS
Your loved ones are sure to expect you to take care of all the necessary preparations for the holiday season. Don’t forget to delegate so as to share out the workload.
GEMINI
You begin to wrap your Christmas gifts. You do something very special in order to impress your loved ones, even though it takes you forever.
CANCER
A particular project puts you in the spotlight. You bring the family together for a spur-of-the-moment trip or a large-scale activity.
LEO
Even if you’re asked to participate in lots of activities, you’ll probably decline the invitation. You can change your mind at the last minute, especially where partying is involved.
VIRGO
It won’t be easy to stick to your Christmas shopping budget. You give much more expensive gifts than expected to those you love and who deserve them.
LIBRA
Your credit card is in constant use at this time of year. Think carefully before pulling it out; you will have to choose between Christmas gifts and social activities if you want to stay on budget.
SCORPIO
The holidays haven’t even started yet but your home always seems to be crowded. If you have young children, they establish their base camp at home with all their friends.
SAGITTARIUS
You’re sure to let yourself be caught up in the magic of Christmas, even though you thought you’d give it a pass this year. You devote some time to social and humanitarian causes.
CAPRICORN
The festivities are already beginning. Indeed, you are surrounded by quite a few people throughout the week. You’re also sure to do some shopping, even though the stores are packed.
AQUARIUS

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

ical malpractice prevention program.” He cited two state codes, RCW 70.41.200 and RCW 42.56.360 (1)(c). Nancy Krier, assistant attorney general for open government, pointed to a 2013 Supreme Court case, Cornu-Labat v. the Grant County Hospital District, which dealt with a similar issue of disclosure of an
internal investigation. The court concluded that RCW 70.41.200 didn’t apply in that case. In addition, the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the lower court to establish whether the committee that created the report constituted a “regularly constituted committee” under the specific law. “That is why the facts are important in considering this exemption and these types of hospital statutes and records,” she said.
In October, Hawkins issued a subpoena to the hospital, at the prosecution’s request, for a copy of the internal investigation. The hospital refused to produce the records and moved to quash the subpoena. The hospital’s attorneys cited patient-confidentiality concerns, attorney-client privilege, the Health Portability and Accountability Act, and the Washington Medical Records Privacy Act.
In a motion to the court, Deputy Prosecutor Jacqueline Lawrence argued that none of the hospital’s bases for the motion apply. The confidentiality issues don’t apply to criminal cases, Lawrence wrote, arguing that attorney-client privilege doesn’t encompass the materials for several reasons, including that the report likely does not include legal advice. In addition, she wrote the medical privacy concerns
