Island County Deputy Prosecutor Jacqueline Lawrence shows the jury how Linda Gipson, chief nursing officer at the hospital, allegedly grabbed a patient.
The prosecution and defense laid out their arguments Thursday afternoon in the criminal case against a Whidbey General Hospital administrator 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 fourthdegree 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 complicated,” she said. One of the nurses who was caring for the patient confronted Gipson about the assault. Gipson came up with “a litany SEE TRIAL, A13
Larsen says his support of Navy will not change By JANIS REID Staff reporter
A tense room full of passionate constituents was about evenly divided when it came to the subject of jet noise Tuesday night. And while Navy jets on Whidbey Island were the most discussed topic, it wasn’t the only thing on the minds of constituents who packed the Coupeville Rec Hall and grilled U.S. Congressman Rick Larsen on the issue. The Town Hall meeting was part a series held by Larsen throughout his district in late March and early April. “What are you doing to make sure the Navy complies with the National Environmental Protection Act?” asked Ken Pickard, a member of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, a group that sued the Navy over jet noise last year. A woman who said she lives “under the flight pattern of OLF” invited Larsen to her home to experience the sound. “I’d like to invite you to my home so you can hear what we are living under,” the woman said to a round of applause. “As you can see, I’m an old lady. How can you support the Navy and the (Outlying Field Coupeville)?” Frank Scharwat told the group that the Navy jets have caused $13,000 in damage when they blew out the windows on his Keystone Spit home during touch-and-go flights at OLF. “They’re lazy, they don’t care or they’re bad neighbors,” Scharwat said of the jet pilots. “If that’s not damage I don’t know what is.” Harry Toulgoat encouraged an “intelligent SEE LARSEN, A20

PBY unveils aircraft display
By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Bud Zylstra can still remember the roar of the PBY engines over Oak Harbor. He shared some of those memories during the opening of the PBY-Naval Air Museum’s new aircraft display exhibit Wednesday. “When we were sitting in church and the preacher was preaching, when the plane came over he’d just have to quit,” said Zylstra, a graduate of Oak Harbor High School’s class of 1941. “As soon as it went
by, he started in again.” Zylstra and Harvey Lasell, both World War II veterans in their 90s, attended the opening to represent the PBY Memorial Foundation as well as to get a closer look at the PBA-5A Catalina and other artifacts that now rest in the new display across from the museum on Pioneer Way. The plane, once stationed at the Seaplane Base in 1945 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, is still missing its outer wings. They

Oak Harbor Safeway re-opens in Albertsons location By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Oak Harbor’s grocery store carousel has finally stopped turning, leaving customers and store employees with a chance to start gathering their bearings. Safeway re-emerged Friday morning in Oak Harbor, opening its doors at a new location after a month-long hiatus and returning a banner familiar to the city since 1967. The store’s new location is on Erie Street in the same building long occupied by Albertsons, which merged with Safeway in a transaction that was completed earlier this year. The merger was made possible by the divestment of 146 stores in five states all acquired by Haggen, setting in motion the banner chang-
es in Oak Harbor with Haggen replacing the Safeway store on Highway 20 last month and Safeway ultimately taking Albertsons’ place. “I’m glad they’re back,” said Walt Yates, a longtime Oak Harbor resident and Safeway shopper. “I like $5 Fridays.” “I love it,” Oak Harbor’s Denise Louis said. “They still have some of the old Albertsons favorites.” Shoppers were met by familiar faces as Safeway retained its former Albertsons employees. A new face was Brett Hintz, the store manager who brings 21 years of Safeway experience to Oak Harbor. He greeted customers at the entrance and handed out reusable tote bags that contained sales advertisements and store information. The store was closed for four days for remodeling and re-merchandising leading up to Friday’s

to come with construction continuing until May 22 when a more for-
mal grand re-opening of the store will take place in connection with the City of Oak Harbor’s 100th anniversary, company spokeswoman Sara Osborne said. “We’re at the half-way point right now,” Hintz said. “I can’t wait to see when it’s all done.” Over the next several weeks, the checkstands, pharmacy and floral section all will be re-located within the store with the work scheduled to take place after store hours. Safeway will be open from 6 a.m. until midnight daily through May 21 to allow for the construction. The store will switch to being open 24 hours a day on May 22. Although there is no gas station at the new location, Safeway’s club reward card is being honored at participating Texaco and Chevron stations.
Island Transit directors considering adding advertisements to buses Staff reporter
Buses and bus shelters in Island County may sport advertising someday. Members of the Island Transit board of directors
decided at their regular meeting last week to issue “requests for proposals” from marketing and advertising firms. “We have no way to really gauge how successful it

will be,” said Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almerberg, the chairman of the transit board. “But we have to try. Everybody else seems to do it.” Ken Graska, interim director of Island Transit, said there are firms that specialize in finding advertisers to
place ads on buses. He said he checked with nearby transit agencies and found that the ads can be an important source of revenue. For example, he said, the Whatcom Transportation Authority makes around $150,000 a year through bus ads. Community Transit in

The board plans to tackle the issue of charging fares on the buses, which have always been fare-free, later this year. Graska said the requests for proposals will outline the sort of advertisements that would be acceptable. He said the requests will be sent out to specific company, trade publications and local newspapers in the next couple of weeks.

He said he’s not sure about the local market. “I don’t expect anything over $100,000,” he said, “but I hope it’s not a lot less.” Former transit officials, especially former director Martha Rose, were against proposals to accept advertisements on buses and bus shelters, citing the aesthetics and ethical concerns.

CONTINUED FROM A1 are expected to be back in place by the summer following maintenance and repairs. “Eventually, later in the summer, we’ll have the plane open for tours,” said Wil Shellenberger, president of the PBY Memorial Foundation. “The biggest need there is we need more volunteers to do that because of insurance requirements.” For now, visitors may get up close and personal, but can’t climb the stairs to get a peek inside. The massive amphibious aircraft is joined in the display by a few more aviation-related artifacts, including 750pound bombs and an aircraft mooring buoy. Also featured is a World War II-era Ford staff car, a replica built by the Whidbey Kruzers car club; and a runway supervisory unit, better known as a “wheel’s up shack,” among other items. But the plane was the main attraction for Wednesday’s gathering and is hoped by foundation members to be the catalyst for bigger plans in the future. The PBY Memorial Foundation’s goal is to raise enough money to build a hangar-style museum in Oak Harbor to properly display
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
the PBY and other aircraft that are part of NAS Whidbey history. “We have so many more artifacts we could display,” Shellenberger said. “The goal sometime in the next four or five years is to acquire some land and start working on building the hangar-style museum. “We’d love to have more aircraft than the PBY. We’d love to get hold of the A-6, the
EA-6B, even a P-3. We might have to put that outside. So we’d like to get enough land to really have an air park-style location.” Shellenberger called the opening of the aircraft display another step toward their ultimate goal. “The real challenge is to get the community’s support,” Shellenberger said. “We’re going to need to build a firm base in the commu-
Page A3
nity where we can go into larger philanthropic organizations and get grants to help because this is going to be a multi-million dollar project.” In the meantime, the museum’s present home is growing. “It’s a big change but it’s good,” said longtime Oak Harbor resident Dennis Faber. “It’s very visible. It’s going to pull a lot of people in, that’s for sure.”
As part of the change, admission to the museum rose from $5 to $7 April 1 with $1 off for active duty, seniors and children. The museum is located at 270 SE Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor. It is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, 1-5 p.m. on Sunday and is closed Monday and Tuesday. Tours also are available by appointment.

Friends reunite after war time meeting
Page A4
By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Until he was 8 years old, Frank Franssen only knew life under the Nazi occupation. Then, in late 1944, all that changed. American troops rolled into the small village of Heerlen, Holland, among them an ambulance driver named Pedro Vera. After all these years, Franssen and Vera have remained friends and late last year, the two reunited at Vera’s Texas home almost 70 years to that fateful day. “He was a liberator, he was my hero,” Franssen said. “He liberated us from the Germans.” Franssen, a long-time Oak Harbor resident since his brother bought the Auld Holland Inn in 1970, has lived a full life as a pilot and later the owner of Franssen Corporation, a construction company. Back in 1944, Franssen described the war torn countryside as “a bloody mess” when the troops arrived, and Vera, fresh from taking the shore at Normandy, was exhausted. “The GIs rolled in and we had to vacate our school because it became a field hospital,” Franssen recalled. Vera recalls that a “young tall beautiful girl” and her brother — Franssen’s older siblings — invited him to their home. “Her father and mother treated me like I was a hero,” Vera said this week. As a result of that connection, Franssen and his family have enjoyed a long relationship with the soldier they took in as one of their own after the Nazis’ defeat in World War II. Prior to the arrival of the
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
Americans, Franssen recalls a bleak period when work time was required by the Nazis and families had to survive on rations. His father, owner of the local butcher shop, caught what animals he could to feed the family, made bread and did “anything to stay alive,” Franssen said. “When the GIs came in we were kind of looking forward to it,” Franssen said. For Franssen it was one of the most fun times of his life. “It was just wonderful,” Franssen said. Vera would make daily ambulance trips and give Franssen and and his friend rides on the sideboard and offer them chocolate and gum — something they had never had — and c-rations from the military. In turn, the Franssens took Vera and other American GIs under their wing. “My mother, who spoke no English, was busy mending clothes for the GIs,” Franssen said. “The nice part about Pedro is he was fun,” said Franssen who was fascinated with Vera because “he was a cowboy from Texas.” After about five months the GIs left, but Vera corresponded with Franssen’s older sister, Gerthie, the girl who invited him to her home. Vera sent post cards from his home town of San Antonio with pictures of the Alamo on it, a detail that proved important. Franssen became fascinated with the B-17s and the B-24s flying over his village. “There were thousands of them,” Franssen said. “I always wanted to see what they could see. I wanted to know ‘how does the world look from the top?’

From there I wanted to be a pilot.” Franssen went on to work in Australia and then came to the United States where he joined the Army serving first as an interpreter then later as a pilot. He spent three years in the U.S. military and had “a fantastic duty.” “That is how I got to fly,” Franssen said. After the service, Franssen worked for a series of commercial airlines and on a stop in San Antonio he came upon the Alamo fort and thought of Vera. Franssen and he reconnected after many years when he walked to a phone book and found “Pedro P. Vera” listed there. They have stayed in contact for the last 45 years. “He’s a great guy and I’m happy to have his friendship,” Vera said.

For those Whidbey Island residents who have a bone to pick with local government, this is the year to put your money where your mouth is. Are you worried about the cost of Oak Harbor’s planned sewage treatment plant? Or maybe you’re concerned about the lack of transparency on the Whidbey General Hospital board? Perhaps you want to see the turmoil end at the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District. Then run for office. Candidate filing week starts May 11, which is really just around the corner. There’s a long list of positions that will be on the ballot this November, both in Oak Harbor and Coupeville. It’s already stacking up to be a very lively election season that could result in significant political changes. Mayors and three council members in both Oak Harbor and Coupeville will be on the ballot. Nancy Conard, Coupeville’s long-time mayor, and two council members have already announced that they aren’t seeking reelection. So far, nobody has announced plans to replace Conard. In Oak Harbor, Councilman Bob Severns is running for mayor and Scott Dudley, who’s in his first term as mayor, said he likely will run again. There is no love lost between the two men, so the campaigns could get fiery. Councilman Rick Almberg also announced he’s seeking reelection in order to head off rumors that he’s calling it quits. In addition, the seats currently held by councilwomen Tara Hizon and Beth Munns will be on the ballot. There’s two positions open on the Whidbey General Hospital board. It may seem like a daunting task to deal with the complexities of health care, but most board members have traditionally been regular people with no expertise in the medical field. Like any elected board, it’s about setting policy and tone. Then there’s the North Whidbey Park and Rec board. After years of dysfunction and a series of board members quitting, only one current member of the board was actually elected to the position. All five positions will be on the ballot. Both the Oak Harbor School Board and the Coupeville School Board will have positions on the ballot. Neither entity has spawned much controversy or intrigue over the years but has done its job with efficiency and grace. Yet it’s hard to imagine a more important elected position, whether you consider the oversight of a giant budget or children’s education. Many other smaller, but important, positions will be on the ballot, including port, fire districts, cemetery districts and more. In the end, it’s easy to complain but much more difficult — and meaningful — to govern. To mix metaphors once again, the squeaky wheel may get the grease but the true leader leads by example.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WGH
Public should attend hospital meetings
Editor, Have you noticed how many things Whidbey General Hospital and Island Transit have in common? • Both are independent governmental districts, having the power to tax their constituents • Each has a Board of Commissioners, which has been grossly negligent in its oversight duties • Each’s dictatorial CEO has been ruthless in running the place and in harassing, ridiculing, or firing rebellious critics or employees • Each has a well-oiled public relations machine, constantly reminding us of the need for money to perform ever-expanding public services • Each has convinced voters to help pay for erecting lavish new facilities • Each has been obsessed with conducting its affairs outside of public view • The result—inevitably—has been rampant mismanagement, self-interest dealings, enormous waste of public funds and fiscal chaos Happily, Island Transit was exposed
when the money ran out in mid-2014. Its board and CEO have now been mostly replaced, its finances are being put back in order, and it has been forced to operate more transparently — as public entities should. Citizens have even taken to videoing board meetings and posting them online! As one who carefully scrutinized WGH operations and posted 42 online investigative reports in 2011 and 2012, I would say that WGH’s fiscal waste easily exceeds IT’s by a factor of 10. Whidbey General is presently at a crossroads. It will get a new, and promising, CEO on April 20. It has taken some positive steps to clean up its administrative and financial messes. But its entrenched and single-minded board members continue to operate as secretly as possible, and largely contrary to public wishes. The latest examples of such conduct—brought to light by this newspaper — are the overpayment of the incoming CEO (up to $340,000 annually), and the promise to continue to pay the outgoing CEO consulting money (amounts not yet disclosed) after he leaves. Both decisions are wildly unpopular and fiscally irresponsible. Making Whidbey General operate transparently is the best hope for redirecting it toward sound busi-
ness practices and public accountability. To that aim, I urge Islanders to attend the next couple critical board meetings: April 13 and May 11, at the hospital at 7 a.m. Yes, the time of day is (intentionally) a hindrance, but a group of us is asking the board to soon switch meetings to early evening. Whether the board agrees to this first baby step toward greater transparency and citizen input will be an early indication of whether WGH is truly undergoing a beneficial change of direction, or continuing on the path that led to Island Transit’s downfall.

My wife and I are snowbirds. We have a modest little place in Arizona that we like to spend our time when we’re not at home at Shelterbay in La Conner, WA. This year, my wife beat me to Arizona so I was driving to meet her when I got in an awful car accident near Redding, California. I ended up being in the hospital for a month before being discharged. I had been to Fidalgo Rehabilitation a few years ago when I had gallbladder surgery, so I knew immediately I wanted to come back after this accident. When I pulled up to Fidalgo from the hospital in California, I immediately relaxed. Just seeing the building the familiar faces was so comforting. Even though I was in a lot of pain from my innumerable fractures, I was so relieved to be back. The nurses have been just as I remembered them to be, wonderful! They are attentive and available whenever I need them. The therapy team really tailored an exercise regime to fit my individual needs. They know just how to push you to not only reach your goals but exceed them! I especially want to thank Blake Olin the Dietary Manager. I have Celiac Disease which means I have to be very careful with my food and read every label to make sure I can eat it. I have never had someone work so hard to cater to my dietary needs. It is so wonderful to have the peace of mind knowing that whatever I get served while at Fidalgo, meets my dietary restrictions and I don’t even have to think about it. I could get used to that. I’m headed home soon and I couldn’t have done it without the team at Fidalgo Rehabilitation. I know that if I ever needed another rehabilitation stay, I’ll be headed back and recommend you do the same! ~Ian Ellis

75 years ago:
n Responding to petitions bearing several thousand signatures, State Senator Pearl A. Wanamaker, announced that she had decided to become a candidate for state superintendent of public instruction. Mrs. Wanamaker has been principal of the Greenbank school, Island County school superintendent, a teacher at Coupeville High School, a state representative and a member of the state senate. n The jail was built to accommodate a maximum of six prisoners. Sheriff Tommy Clark’s latest census revealed that he was harboring seven inmates, with no assurance whatsoever that there wouldn’t be more in the future.

Reps plead hospital need in Olympia
n Whidbey’s three hospital commissioners went to Olympia to plead their case for funds for the Island to build a hospital in Coupeville. One of the commissioners said that he didn’t believe the prospect for getting the funds was very good because North Whidbey was still classed in the Mount Vernon area, and that meant funds to cover the area would be given to Mount Vernon. n Patrol Squadron One returned to the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, marking the end of a sixth-month deployment to the Far East. During deployment, VP-1 aircraft were based at Iwakuni, Japan, with attachments operating out of Okinawa, the Philippine Islands, and Saigon and Da Nang, Vietnam.

Margaret Ann Fetterolf
Margaret Ann Fetterolf, a resident of Oak Harbor, Wash., went to be with her Lord Jesus Christ on March 26, 2015. She was born in Sheridan, Ore., to Carl and Emma Merz on Nov. 28, 1931, the youngest of seven children. She spent her childhood on the prairies of Yelm, Wash. during the Great Depression and in Tacoma, Wash. during World War II. She lost her mother to leukemia at the tender age of five. Starting at the age of 10 and for the next 10 years, she took care of her newborn nieces and nephews as they entered the world, traveling to the homes of her brothers and sisters. As a result, she developed an extra close relationship that continued throughout
her lifetime with each of the nine nieces and 11 nephews. In the fall of 1950, she went on a church youth hayride in Grandview, Wash., and met a young man from Virginia by the name of Charles Fetterolf. They married on Dec. 7, 1951, while he was serving in the Navy. Their only child, Janice Eileen, was born Feb. 20, 1954 – the day after Charles shipped out for a nine-month deployment. Charles, who loved farming, had to change his life’s vocation at the age of 28 due to the devastating onset of rheumatoid arthritis. He went to college on the GI Bill and became an elementary school teacher. One of Margaret’s joys in life was helping with classroom projects, decorating bulletin boards and baking birthday cakes every month for 30 years. She was a servant to whomever needed her, be it family or friend. The hallmarks of her life were gratitude and genuine love for all those God brought into her life. Since moving to Oak Harbor 5 years ago, she continued the visitation ministry to the home bound and assisted living residents that she was delighted to be a part of for the last 25 years. Margaret was preceded in death by her husband Charles in 2004 and by her three brothers and three sisters. She is survived by her daughter Janice Merry (1554 SW Vanguard St. Oak Harbor, WA 98277 360 7202575). She is also survived by 18 nieces and nephews who remained very dear to her heart. Two services are scheduled. A graveside service will be held at Tahoma Cemetery (1802 Tahoma Ave., Yakima, WA 98902) at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7. A memorial service to celebrate the loving life of Margaret Ann Fetterolf will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 10 at First Reformed Church of Oak Harbor, 250 SW 3rd Ave. Margaret Ann was always active in the support of youth ministries, children’s ministries and the elimination of hunger and poverty. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to one of the following ministries: 1. First Reformed Youth Mission Trip to Mexico, 250 SW 3rd Ave., Oak Harbor, WA 98277 2.

Sportsmanship shines through in prep track meet another runner do his best.” Allen stayed on Rodeheffer’s hip for the first seven laps of the eightlap race, using Rodeheffer to pull him toward his goal. “With 700 yards left,” Rodeheffer said, “I told him I was going to pick up the pace at 600 yards.” Allen couldn’t quite keep up, lagging behind over the final 200 meters and finishing seven seconds behind Rodeheffer --- but five seconds below 10 minutes. “As a coach, it was one of the coolest displays of sportsmanship I’ve seen in a long time,” Oak Harbor coach Eric Peterson said. “Two runners from two different teams working together on the track to accomplish a goal.”

Sometimes, it is not about winning. At the Oak Harbor-Lake Stevens track meet Thursday, April 2, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium, Viking sophomore Trevor Allen raised his hands in jubilation at the end of his 3,200 meter race. The gesture, usually displayed by a winner, might have looked odd to those watching from the bleachers because Allen finished second to Oak Harbor’s John Rodeheffer. Allen wasn’t confused; he knew he finished second. What he did do, with the help of Rodeheffer, was set a personal-best time of 9:55. Although Allen had never met Rodeheffer, he approached the Oak Harbor senior before the race and asked what his strategy was for the event. Allen knew he most likely couldn’t defeat Rodeheffer, one of the state’s best distance runners, but he knew Rodeheffer had the ability to help him achieve his goal of running the distance under 10 minutes. To reach that mark, Allen needed Rodeheffer to pace him, running laps at a clip of 74-75 seconds. Rodeheffer, who said he planned

Lorina Mullen relaxes in the living room of her Coupeville apartment, where she’s worked on many of her paintings over the years, including the one with wolves in the background. At 90, she gets joy out of making others happy. She laughs about the portrait below of a frustrated subject she calls ‘Wilhelm.’
A gift for giving By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter
Lorina Mullen professes that she doesn’t need much to be happy. At 90 years of age and in good health, she’s perfectly content with a book in her hand and shrugs at the thought of needing much else. There’s no television inside Mullen’s quaint Coupeville apartment. No computer. Not even a microwave oven. “I’m about to give up on my radio, to tell you the truth,” she said, upset over the frequent commercial interruptions. What pleases Mullen most is the personal joy she gets by making others happy. As she looked around her living room in recent months, she realized she possessed some gifts that she wanted to share. A self-taught painter, she
donated 21 pieces of art to Habitat for Humanity of Island County, which is displaying a few at a time and selling them from its Oak Harbor store. Most were painted by Mullen, whose work has been shown at the Coupeville Library. “I don’t want to sound soupy. The feeling is sincere,” Mullen said. “If I can make someone else happy, that makes me happy. It brings added joy to me. “In a way it’s kind of selfish because it makes me happy.” Mullen’s kind gestures have brought smiles to the face of Whitey Kirschenmann, manager of the Oak Harbor store. He said he met Mullen a couple years ago when she came into the store to buy a lamp for her neighbor as a gift. “Lorina’s goal is to do something good for someone every day,” Kirschenmann
Coupeville artist donates 21 paintings to Habitat for Humanity
said. “So over the past few years, she has been buying things and giving them away to help people out.” Pretty soon, the answer was right in front of her face. She chose to give away her paintings to a cause that is dear to her. Habitat for Humanity builds and renovates homes through donations to offer people an affordable place to live. “I was taking in by what they do,” Mullen said. “I like the idea of being able to get a home for the first time. I think of how exciting and happy that must make them feel. “I had the idea at my age, though I’m blessed with health, I could go at any time. So I was thinking, ‘Why wait until I’m gone?’” Mullen sketched as a child and young woman but didn’t get serious about painting with acrylics until after a divorce at age 40. She paints landscapes and
portraits, including one of a gentleman holding a jug she named “Wilhelm.” “He’s really unhappy because his jug is empty,” Mullen said, laughing. A couple paintings at a time will be displayed at the Oak Harbor store, which has already benefitted from the sale of two of her art pieces. “She’s such a sweet lady,” said Sadi Foltz, development director with Habitat for
Humanity of Island County. “She actually sold one outside of the store and came in with a check for us.” “Lorina is one of the kindest, generous people I have met in my 45 years in the retail business,” said Kirschenmann, who spent 39 years as an executive with Sears. “One cannot say how much we need more Lorinas in this world.”

TRIAL
CONTINUED FROM A1 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 911 to report that the patient had assaulted a nurse many hours previously; 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 the nurse she later fired, the alleged victim and the alleged victim’s father. On the defense side, Gipson’s attorney, Andrew Schwarz of Seattle, told the jury repeatedly that the reality of the situation was more complex. “I ask you to consider that life is seldom black and white as was just presented to you,” he said. Schwarz emphasized that
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
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 difficult to treat and results in emotional outbursts and unpredictable behavior. He said she had been admitted to the hospital many times previously and had assaulted nurses and doctors many times.
Diane Robbins MS. SLP
Schwarz gave a different version of incident that spawned the assault allegation. 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.

Speech-Language Pathologist
Born and raised in Idaho, Diane raised most of her children before going back to school and becoming a speech-language pathologist seven years ago. She feels the experience of raising children only added to her abilities and skills. She has worked with children from preschool through senior high with speech and language delays and disorders, including stuttering, articulation, expressive and receptive language, congenital and neurological diseases. Her love has always been preschool age children because this a critical time for neuro-development and plasticity (the brain is making new connections and repairs more rapidly). With the prevalence of Autism, the need for early intervention is increasing and Diane is excited to be a part of it. Diane joined Aptitude Habilitation Services in the fall of 2014 and is currently taking SLP clients.
“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 dissected and dissected” during the trial. “What you’re going to see is that the witnesses don’t agree,” he said.

Welcome Diane Robbins Looking for a job close to a dental hygiene school for her daughter to attend, Diane Robbins arrived in Oak Harbor late in October of last year. Though not as close to colleges as hoped, Diane had an opportunity to work with young children and give her family an opportunity to enjoy a different environment. Compared to the Rocky Mountains, with harsh winters, pine trees, cold streams with rainbow trout and sage brush, Whidbey Island offers a very different environment.

LARSEN CONTINUED FROM A1 use of resources” in regard to the Navy’s presence on an island that promotes tourism. “Why are you destroying the very place we want to invite people to?” Toulgoat asked. “This is not national security, this is nonsense.” The issue of jet noise has reached a fevered pitch in recent years as the Navy has transitioned from the EA-6B Prowler to the EA-18G Growler, an aircraft many believe is louder. In an effort to balance the discussion about jet noise, the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League organized a group of veterans, retirees and military supporters to show their support at the Town Hall, according to member Skip Pohtilla. “The Navy supporters aren’t being heard as much as the others,” Pohtilla said after the event. A man who said he lives in the Dugualla Bay area on North Whidbey, which also experiences jet noise, said “it’s noisy, yes, but it’s something we live with.” Larsen made no bones about his support for the EA-18G Growlers based at NAS Whidbey, drawing applause from Navy sup-
porters present. “I will not change my position,” Larsen said. “What I’m trying to do is find a pathway to mitigation. I don’t go into this believing I’m going to please a lot of people.” Larsen said he considers it a “victory of sorts folks on Lopez” Island because the Navy has started requiring pilots to keep landing gear up when flying near the San Juans. Larsen said “informal” sound testing shows it lowers the decibel level from 90 to 70. “I think that proves that the Navy is trying to be a good neighbor,” Larsen said, drawing laughter from a handful of attendees. One man raised the topic of ongoing Growler training over the Olympic Peninsula, which has been a growing concern among those who do not support the Navy’s basing of the Growler in the Northwest. Larsen said that the Navy conducted an environmental assessment and found “no significant impact,” even though “some folks think they should have done an environmental impact statement,” a more in-depth investigation. The Navy plans to add radio wave emit-

ters for the Growlers to track as part of their training. “I don’t see that it’s much more than what it is now,” Larsen said. A broad number of other initiatives and questions were lobbed at Larsen. Ron Wallace asked Larsen to work to “get us off oil energy.” A woman who identified herself as a U.S. postal carrier said she was “quite concerned about the way the Postal Service has been under attack” and asked Larsen to “help us sponsor changes to fight for six-day mail services.” Addressing a question from a teacher about ineffectual “high stakes testing” in schools, Larsen said No Child Left Behind legislation needs to be reformed to “measure the progress of individual kids.” Larsen also said teacher evaluations should not be attached to child performance because “it’s not fair to teachers and it’s not fair to students.” In response to a concern about carbon dioxide emissions and it’s affect on shellfish throughout the country, Larsen said he supports a proposal to have the Environmental Protection Agency regulate the emissions. Real change on this front will “starts on a grassroots level,” Larsen said, “but it’s a longterm battle.”
