Langley charrette won’t include cost, public vote

WSP to recommend charges in Valentine’s Day fatal crash By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record State police are recommending a South Whidbey woman face criminal charges for her role in a fatal two-car crash in February. Trooper Mark Francis, a Washington State Patrol spokesman, confirmed late Thursday that detectives are wrapping up their investigation of the collision and expect to formally forward a referral to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office sometime next week. It will recommend that Clinton resident Michelle Nichols, 46, be charged with vehicular homicide in the death of Timothy Keil, a 61-year-old Freeland man, the officer said. Nichols was allegedly under the influence during the Valentine’s Day crash that resulted in Keil’s death, according to the state patrol. Attempts to reach Nichols by telephone and via Facebook Friday for this story were unsuccessful. Details and findings of the agency’s investigation, however, are not yet available. Police investigations are not disclosable under state records laws until they are formally complete, and that doesn’t happen until the referral is sent to prosectors, Francis said. Also, it’s up to the prosecutor’s office to decide whether or not to press charges. Nichols was southbound on Highway 525 at about 8:40 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, when she lost control near the intersection of Coles Road, according to a state patrol SEE CRASH, A14

to bite — to justify her actions, Lawrence said. When the nurse refused to accept the excuses, Gipson fired her from the hospital. Lawrence said Gipson then called 9-1-1 to report that the patient had assaulted a nurse several hours 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 a nurse, the alleged victim and the alleged victim’s father. On the other side, Gipson’s attorney, Andrew Schwarz of Seattle, told the jury repeatedly that the reality of the situation was more

Cost estimates for the various Langley marina access project options are not expected to be part of an upcoming public meeting this month. The hope is to highlight various designs and possibilities, but providing financial details for all of the 10 alternatives simply isn’t feasible, according to Langley Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio. “It’s our goal to be able to inform the public about all the options we’re considering,” Davolio said in an interview Thursday at City Hall. The city has planned a charrette, a stakeholders meeting with residents, business owners and marina users, to present options April 14. It is a departure from earlier momentum in 2014 when the city was looking into the construction of either a funicular to move up and down the Cascade Avenue bluff or a bridge and elevator. Any bluff-side option will likely need a private partner because the city does not own any property at the base to connect to Wharf Street. The city secured $500,000 in grant funding years ago to improve access to the marina, though the initial project was to widen Wharf Street. The basic idea is create an alternative means of accessing the marina in

Chief nursing officer trial begins Prosecutor, defense make opening arguments

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record 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 fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor charge, for allegedly grabbing a mental health patient by the face May 13, according to court documents. In opening statements, Island

County Deputy Prosecutor Jacqueline Lawrence said Gipson “charged” into the room, grabbed the patient and told her, “You have lost your rights, you have lost your privileges.” Lawrence emphasized over and over that the patient was in “fourpoint, 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 of different excuses” — like she was spitting or trying

South Whidbey Homeless Coalition secures House of Hospitality at last By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Families and vulnerable adults who lack safe, steady housing now have the opportunity to apply for residence in the South End’s first House of Hospitality. The South Whidbey Homeless Coalition signed the final papers and took ownership of the Camano Avenue property in Langley on Thursday, March 26. The house was formerly a space utilized by various support groups and non-profits such as Helping Hand, Opportunity Council and Pregnancy Aid. It will open as the new House of Hospitality May 1. “It feels like being in the center of a miracle,” said Judy Thorslund, chairwoman of South Whidbey Homeless Coalition. About 30 years ago, Langley philanthropist Judy Yeakel purchased the property with the intent for it to be a hub for South Whidbey non-profit groups. Since Yeakel’s death a year ago, the house was put on the market. Thorslund said plans to purchase the house went into the works “practically the moment it was brought to our attention.” “This house, a vision of Judy Yeakel and the result of her quiet philanthropy, enriched lives in South Whidbey for 30 years,” the coalition wrote in a recent news release. “It aligned with what the family’s dreams were for the place,” said coalition member and board secretary Faith Wilder. There are three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen and a common living space in the house. About six people will be able to live in the home simultaneously, for a maximum stay of 90 days.

There is also an office space in the upper level, which will be used by staff people, including a part-time administrative assistant. The coalition is making families with children a priority, according to Thorslund, who added that there are already three families “waiting in the wings” who have been approved to move in. “We’re glad that we’re the first step in stability for people,” Wilder said. In the future, Thorslund

said the coalition hopes to consider the option of placing tiny houses on the property for additional housing, though their primary goal is to ensure the main house is open and operational. The house cost a total of $190,000, which was funded through a combination of loans, donations and a contribution from Island County. Island County provided a $40,000 grant for the coalition to operate the house in coordination with the Island

County Coordinated Entry Program. According to the county’s website, the program is a state-mandated strategy that has proven effective in contributing to the goal of ending homelessness. It is also a way to “streamline” processes such as referral, assessment and access linking individuals to housing and service agencies. Island County human services department will decide which families or individuals will benefit the most from living at the South Whidbey House of Hospitality. Other families and individuals may be better served in other areas, Thorslund explained. The coalition received blessings from Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy and South Whidbey School District Superintendent Jo Moccia. The coalition had consulted with the school district primarily because of their prioritization of hous-

ing children and families, as well as the house’s close proximity to Langley Middle School, which is across the street. Thorslund mentioned that she will also be in close contact with the staff of the district’s Readiness to Learn program, which assists families in need. McCarthy expressed his support for the coalition’s establishment of the warming center at Langley United Methodist Church and for the House of Hospitality. “I think both of these efforts are a citizen/community member-based and proactive plan for existing and emerging needs in our community,” McCarthy wrote in an email to The Record. The coalition accepts donations — from toiletries to furniture — and pledges on an ongoing basis. Monetary contributions will go towards the operation of the house and repayment of loans used to purchase it. Wilder said the organiza-

tion wants to be “conservative” in taking care of the debt, and hopes to repay it in entirety within two years. A team of seven pro-bono workers are currently working to ready the house in time for its opening on May 1. “Thanks for your hearts, South Whidbey,” Thorslund said. The coalition will host a community celebration and house dedication from 1-5 p.m. April 18 at the house. Beverly Graham of Operation Sack Lunch and violinist Gloria Ferry-Brennan will perform. Refreshments will be provided. Tax-deductible donations can be made to South Whidbey Homeless Coalition and mailed to P.O. Box 744 Freeland, WA, 98249. For additional information, email swhomelesscoalition@ gmail.com or call 360-2215970.

LANGLEY No one files for food truck permit The Langley City Council will have to do some quick review of its recently approved food truck ordinance. A couple of weeks after posting a request for proposals for food truck applicants, none were submitted to the city, Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said. The rules included a seasonal restriction between late May and early September, and excluded the weekend of Choochokam Arts Festival, in addition to $200 in business license and application fees. The city council will discuss the lack of proposals and what course it should take at its Monday, April 6 meeting at 5:30 p.m. Also on the council’s agenda is a discussion of

declaring the firehouse surplus. The former fire station is currently leased from the city to glass artist Callahan McVay, but is being moved toward being sold. Mayor’s excellence awards will be given to longtime Langley shop owners Fred and Sharon Lundahl and Marc Esterly, who recently announced he was stepping down as executive director of the Langley Chamber of Commerce.

State funds used for critical areas Island County commissioners approved an agreement with Environmental Sciences Associates last week to assist in the completion of the critical areas ordinance, as part of the 2016 comprehensive plan update. To pay for the assistance, the county is using a U.S. Department of Commerce National Estuary Program grant not to exceed $250,000. As part of the Puget Sound Watershed Protection and Restoration program, the funding will allow county staff to review and revise wetland and critical areas protections into a single

cohesive policy. ESA will be the lead consultant supported by sub-consultants Pacific Groundwater Group and the Stratum Group.

Langley shop offers taste of finer, tipsier things By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Kate Johnson considers herself a novice, a neophyte when it comes to fine wines, craft beer and cider, cheese and cured meats. Perhaps in the context of standing next to a career charcuterie expert or a Master Sommelier, she is indeed a neophyte. For the majority of her customers at The Tipsy Gourmet, she’s a wealth of information and insight into flavor and taste. “I like to try to get stuff in that people can’t find,” she said. In the shop in Langley Village, the shopping area between Second and Third streets, Johnson has collected a host of hard-to-find brews, wines and spirits. Tipsy Gourmet is Langley’s new go-to place for anyone looking to put on a cocktail party. Her talents were recently utilized in an edition of Kitsch ‘n’ Bitch, Whidbey Island Center for the Arts’ food and drink series. She created the Jammy Juice, based on a pajama-themed evening, that includes vermouth, brut rosé and an orange slice for garnish (see breakout box for the recipe). Ask her about how to pair some of the cheeses with crackers and the right wine, and she’s got several answers. A question about what defines “abbey ale” had her stumped, but only for as long as it took for her to search online for a good definition. She may not

Johnson is an island girl who left Whidbey after high school, pursued culinary school in Portland, returned to the area and finally returned home to start her own business. She opened in September 2014 in the space formerly run by the Langley liquor store. With alcohol sales taken out of the state’s strict hands, Johnson said her aim is to provide booze for special occasions and people willing to try something different.

Prosciutto, manchego, and an assortment of blue cheeses are all up for interested taste buds. Her reason is simple: she wants customers to know they like it before they buy it.

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

Editorial

Langley should rethink charrette’s scope, focus In less than two weeks time, Langley will have its big meeting. This is the one that everyone’s been talking about, the one about the city’s proposed marina access/bluff conveyance project. Given all the expressed interest, it may well prove to be one of Langley’s best attended meetings of the entire year. Unfortunately, it may be a bit anticlimactic. City leaders said this week it won’t include even a ballpark price tag of various designs, one of the details residents have been clamoring for and debating ad nauseam through The Record’s opinion page for months. They also don’t plan to take any kind of consensus on favored or disliked options. Instead, the city planner is expected to simply deduce from the discussion which options he feels are preferred, and those that he believes are not. The city should rethink this position, and the scope and design of the meeting. First and foremost, project cost is more than an inconsequential detail that can be made clear once preferred alternatives are identified. Truly, how can anyone, be they city officials or members of the public, make an informed choice before knowing something as basic as cost. Charrettes or their like aren’t uncommon, and the above reason is why they usually include at least some kind of financial information. For example, the county held a meeting in November outlining 10 possible new road routes to reach Whidbey Air Park. A specific dollar figure wasn’t attached, but handouts made clear which routes would cost the most, and which cost the least. It’s doubtful any reasonable person is expecting the city to provide a line-by-line breakdown for each option, but knowing which designs are the most expensive seems both reasonable and prudent. As for gaining a consensus of public opinion, granted, a straw poll at the meeting would hardly be conclusive and rife with its own issues. However, it seems less subjective than one person’s conclusions divined from a roomful of people involved in noisy discussion. Fears that participants would be put on the spot unfairly, and subject to criticism from neighbors seem silly at best, disingenuous at worst. A simple form filled out by participants and deposited in a box would address that problem easily enough. While the agenda follows the recommendations of the Langley Planning Advisory Board, the public perception of this meeting from the beginning has been about getting some real answers about the various options, and the opportunity to give city leaders feedback about what they want. A meeting that doesn’t address the most talked about issues, and doesn’t give residents a chance to give input that actually matters, begs the question why it’s being held at all.

Letters Response

Langley’s trees deserve to have their dignity too Editor, Who cut the trees in the open lot at Third Street and De Bruyn Avenue in Langley to look like hairy popsicle sticks with gumdrops? Not every tree is a deciduous maple. Leave the trees their dignity when they like to let their britches hang to their ankles. Respectfully, JAN ELYSE HUGHES Clinton

“Sneering” claims misrepresented the facts Editor, The South Whidbey School Board continued to display its dysfunction at a Wednesday meeting last month. First, the board reaffirmed a policy that discourages individual board members from speaking with the media. Then, disgruntled with a court’s ruling that the district violated the state Open Public Records Act, the board allowed its former member Fred O’Neal to malign the plaintiff and to misrepresent that Superintendent Jo Moccia spent her time responding to public records requests. In fact, she admits in deposition testimony that she wholly delegated the search for records to staff and the review of records to highly paid Seattle attorneys. “It was all by counsel,” she said. Finally, the District could have electronically sent the few relevant minutes of the three-hour meeting to its attorney, via an edited

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

Bluff stability should be a major concern when choosing a Langley transport option from the marina. These bluffs are geologically hazardous and are environmentally critical areas. The 2015 hazardous mitigation plan for Island County rates the probability of landslide or earthquake in Langley as “very high.” These bluffs are well docu-

mented as historically prone to slides, the latest occurring March 22, 2013. That slide stretched 60 feet on Wharf Street completely blocking the road, trapping dozens of cars, and requiring evacuation. Engineering reports obtained from a public records request show that every geological engineering study has concluded these slopes are marginally stable and that additional failures can occur at any time in spite of precautions taken. Slides are typically set off by saturated soils during storms, and scientists say the likelihood of these storm events is predicted to increase in the future. Development on these unstable bluffs threatens public safety and puts projects like a funicular and surrounding development at risk, including the Schell-proposed multistory building. Recent municipal code changes eliminated all setbacks and height restrictions on Wharf Street increasing the danger. Heavy loads and vibrations from construction activity and mechanical assist on these sensitive slopes can precipitate slides. The best design and construction will still be vulnerable to slope

failure. The high probability of earthquake in our area makes a funicular another hazardous site requiring mitigation. Edgecliff Drive used to be a thruway but the road slid off. Cascade Avenue could too: engineering reports including the latest by URS Corporation in 2013 suggest that for safety, the city should explore shifting Cascade Avenue inland as the east lane is at risk of sliding away. Any associated structure located on Cascade Avenue will increase the risk of landslide. Island County setback from the top of hazardous bluffs begins at 100 feet. Langley’s setbacks start at 50 feet and can be negotiated downward or a variance claimed. There is negligible room for setback from this bluff edge. If engineering experts say that the east lane of Cascade Avenue is unsafe long-term, it makes no sense to build a station or promenade further east. We can dream and scheme about our favorite transport options but for the unstable and hazardous bluffs on Cascade Avenue, the reasonable approach is to avoid high-impact transSEE MORE LETTERS, A7

William ‘Sam’ Davis

March 20, 1926 - March 30, 2015 Dear Sam, You finally got to sailing at 89 years old after being ill for so long. You were always so

happy at sea, whether sailing or fishing. We will miss you dearly of course, but this next journey will be what you have been waiting for these last nine years living on Whidbey Island, Wash. Giffin Davis and Jahna Lukas, son and granddaughter, respectively, of Houston, Texas, wished they could have been here to see you sail off to sea. Their hearts are with you because they loved you so very much as did your wife of 30 years, Susan Bonnar-Davis, who believed you were a “secret gift” that you had surprised her with every day by sharing your love. Family and friends that you shared every day with your kindness, your very generous heart and most of all, your sense of humor. You made us laugh, Sam.

Six months of funicular this, funicular that Editor, I would like an immediate stop to the funicular so I never have to hear about it again. For the past six months, every time I talk to my mom it has been funicular this and funicular that. At first, I had no idea what a funicular was but played along, thinking it was a passing dance craze. Upon realizing that it definitely wasn’t passing, I looked it up and remembered that I myself had once ridden a funicular in France. But then I remembered that I had actually just taken the stairs, because I was like “What is that weird outdoor elevator?” This is the basic problem with the Langley funicular too. It’s a solution in search of a problem. The only real reason I can see for the funicular is that they have the money to do it, but that’s never a good reason to buy something. Coincidentally, I learned this lesson on the same trip to France when my best friend (her name rhymes with Slow-y Lifer) and I decided to go on a Parisian shopping spree because we thought we had a lot of money left over. As soon as we got back to the states, the bank made us aware that we hadn’t actually had any money left over, but the international

we were sitting in a gym and were swept away. Whidbey Island is replete with gifted musicians and this performance yielded convincingly for that testimony. I shout, “bravo” and thank you to the conductor and all performers.

Bravo symphony conductor, performers

Warren is the right president for our time

Editor, Dr. Anna Edwards accomplished an awesome outcome presenting “Fairy Tales and Legends,” with Carmina Burana as the main work (Sunday, 3/22/2015). I’m still breathless. A choral group of about one hundred talented voices of many ages, three talented professional soloists and a full orchestra performed to redefine synchronicity. I’m a fan of symphony, an admirer of music and musicians. In the largest of cities, no finer performance could be discovered. Edwards took on a task few would try. Limited to a gymnasium floor for the musicians and bleachers for the audience, one would think (and many voiced concern before the performance for acoustics and comfort) the outcome could be mediocre at best. One would be wrong. The entire performance excelled, even in a gym. My husband and I forgot

Editor, Just a shout out to Massachusetts state Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who is being encouraged to run for the presidency in 2016. She is the right candidate for our time. A proven champion on the issues that matter most, Warren is standing up to powerful, money focused interests or “big business” and giving everyone in this economy a fair chance. Elizabeth Warren can win. Her message is strong and she has strong support. So even though she will not likely see this letter in our little local paper, I say “Run Elizabeth, run.”

AMHS holds on to top league spot Archbishop Murphy held onto its Cascade Conference lead in a 1-0 win over South Whidbey on Tuesday. The game was marred in Falcon head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins’ opinion due to some unenforced physical, “dirty” play that jeopardized his team’s safety and health. “Some of the referees don’t protect these boys the way they should,” Robbins said. “Coaches, we’re teachers. We’re teaching these boys not only soccer skills but also hopefully life lessons. Play hard, play clean, but don’t hurt players.” Robbins said a couple of bad plays stood out. One included a player stomping on senior Davin Kesler’s foot after he was already prone on the field, which drew a yellow card for the offending Wildcat. The other was an open-hand slap to Falcon senior Andy Zisette’s face in front of the South Whidbey bench, unseen by refs. “If the referee isn’t going to enforce it, then the coaches have to,” Robbins said, adding that he’d take one of his players out for committing that kind of foul. “We have a responsibility to protect our student-athletes more than winning games.” Falcon senior forward Kai da Rosa was also issued a yellow card for bowling over the Wildcats’ keeper. Through the first half, the game was tied at 0-0 with each team getting a few shots on goal. The Wildcats broke the draw in the second half after junior midfielder Brady Henderson beat two Falcon defenders to boot in a low shot to the far post past Falcon keeper Charley Stelling. It was the first goal South Whidbey allowed this season. This was also the Falcons’ first loss. Archbishop Murphy was able to effectively play keepaway with strong possession the rest of the match. South Whidbey tried to counter with different formations to add more players on offense, hoping to get a quick transition and score. But the Falcons were unable to punch in a few shots. The Falcons hosted fellow 1A Cascade Conference opponent King’s on Friday, after The Record went to press. Robbins said he didn’t envision that kind of loss would impact South Whidbey in either the King’s game or the rematch against the Wildcats. “I don’t expect it to affect their play at all,” he said. “They know what’s on the line, they know the rivalry and they know how King’s played in the past.”

Early errors cost Falcon fastpitch By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Fielding errors in the second inning put South Whidbey softball into a hole from which the Falcons could not fly out against Lakewood on Tuesday. South Whidbey lost 4-1. Only one run in the entire game was earned, a solo homer by Lakewood junior Alexis Lampinen. Facing the Cascade Conference-leading Lakewood Cougars, South Whidbey had a few chances to swoop in on a narrow 2-0 Lakewood lead. None materialized as the Falcons stranded runners on base every inning, and no inning was as deflating as the fifth. With the top of the batting order at the plate, the first two Falcon batters failed to get on base. Kacie Hanson, a sophomore, knocked a line drive single into left field. Anne Madsen, a senior, launched a standup double into deep left field to put two Falcons in scoring position. Leah Merrow, a sophomore, was hit by an errant pitch to load the bases. Falcon freshman Mackenzee Collins slapped a grounder back to Lakewood pitcher Hailey Malakowski, who fielded it cleanly and tossed it to first base to clip the Falcons’ once-rowdy rally.

Falcon senior Abby Hodson secures the ball for an out at first base against Lakewood on March 31. South Whidbey lost 4-1 to the league’s top team. In the following play, Lampinen blasted the ball over the left field fence. South Whidbey got the next three batters out to limit the damage. Trailing 3-0, Malakowski retired the first three Falcon batters of the sixth inning on two strikeouts and a groundout to the pitcher’s circle.

Cedar Park Christian in Bothell. Errors again factored into the hole from which the Falcons had to escape. Cedar Park took the lead 1-0 in the second inning and padded it to 4-1 heading into the final frame. Falcon senior Callie Patterson, the leadoff batter, reached first on an error. Senior Chloe Huffman, who was 2-for-3 at the plate,

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

Karyle Kramer wrote in an email. “… Kendra continues to show great poise and concentration.” Anna Lynch won the fourth singles match 6-1, 6-3 over Granite’s Emma Loney. In doubles, South Whidbey’s top duo of Iona Rohan and Clara Martin lost to Granite Falls’ McKenzie Meyer and Annie Hart 2-6, 4-6. Macey Bishop and Kara Mead rolled through their second doubles bout in their first match playing together. They beat Granite Falls’ Brynne Mota-Soriano and Holly Curry 6-1, 6-2. At third doubles, sophomores Carmen Warwick and Taylor Hamilton dropped Granite Falls’ Shelby Beehler and Danielle Coleman 6-0, 6-2. “These two sophomores continue to impress me with their willingness to take risks and take their game to the next level,” Kramer wrote. “They are winning at varsity doubles, but they are also looking at how they can improve — a great sign for a young team.” On Thursday, South Whidbey downed Lakewood 6-1. Dubendorf defeated Lakewood’s Christina Barber 6-2, 6-4 at first singles. Second singles saw Gochanour beat Hannah Krutsinger 6-2, 6-2. Kendra Warwick won the third singles bout over Erin Espeland 6-0, 6-0. Clements won fourth singles 6-3, 6-3 against Jillian Desmond. The Falcons’ top doubles duo of Rohan and Martin fell to Lakewood’s Alex Wolfe and Maddie DeYoung 6-4, 6-4. Bishop and Jen LeRoy beat Paige Borsema and Gillian Romeis 6-4, 6-1. Carmen Warwick and Hamilton won the third doubles match 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.

Whidbey Earth and Ocean Month combines ecology, community By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Though Earth Day lasts only 24 hours, a number of South End residents are working year-round to conserve the island’s numerous natural treasures. Many of these individuals are volunteers who assist in community gardens such as those at the school district and Good Cheer, or join in work parties removing Scotch broom and yellow archangel from public areas like South Whidbey State Park or the Saratoga Woods. Others work with organizations such as the Whidbey Institute, fostering discussion of environmentally conscious practices within the context of building a cooperative and healthful community. During April, these individuals and organizations will join together for Whidbey Earth and Ocean Month, a month-long celebration of the planet with activities and events ranging from an educational display at the Bayview Cash Store to the Welcome the Whales and Earth Day festivals and expert presentations and discussions at various venues. The Whidbey Earth and Ocean Month Committee consists of representatives from Citizens Climate Lobby — Whidbey Chapter; Goosefoot; Greenbank Farm; Service, Education and Adventure (SEA); South Whidbey Tilth; and Whidbey ECO Network. Numerous other organizations, including the Whidbey Institute, Whidbey Camano Land Trust, Whidbey Watershed Stewards, Orca Network, Pacific Rim Institute and Unitarian Universalist Church are also involved in activities throughout the month. For Whidbey Camano Land Trust outreach manager Janelle Castro, Whidbey Earth and Ocean Month is an ideal avenue for fostering discussion about environmen-

5, at the church, 5671 Crawford Road. The day’s speaker is Doug Benecke and the title of the talk is “Fly Away.” When the women went to the tomb, it was empty; the stone had been rolled away. An angel there said to them, “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified.

He has risen! He is not here.” The mystery at the heart of this story touches us at the deepest level — the question of an ongoing existence, beyond the bounds of our earthly bodies. Celebrate Easter and with Benecke explore the mystery of the phase beyond this life, and a remembrance of those who have taken that next step.

case of an emergency, such as the March 2013 landslide. Since being hired in January, the planner was thrust full-speed into city affairs including the marina access project, updating the city’s Comprehensive Plan, creating food truck rules, writing a request for proposals for the possible sale of a city-owned building and property, on top of other day-to-day duties of the one-person office. Concerning the conveyance project, some of the options have “firm” estimates, while others do not. Rather than provide information for a few and not the rest, Davolio said he did not want to give the impression that the city was favoring one possibility over another at this time. One Langley resident who has questioned the city’s course on this project for months said she disagreed, and that the city should have costs by now. “I think they’ve had an awful lot of time to gather some of that information,” said Sharon Emerson. “If they don’t have that, that’s a problem.” Davolio said narrowing down the list of options will help him divert time

funding can be used for projects listed in the city’s Capital Facilities Plan: the funicular and a bridge and elevator. Another major change in the format of the meeting from earlier reports is that a public vote or informal ballot will not occur. After the city’s planning board meeting, its members agreed to not seek any kind of large group vote. Instead, members decided to gather information from small groups at several tables. “This is a complex issue that involves funding, view impacts, people with disabilities … personally, I don’t see a vote as an adequate way to evaluate all those issues,” Davolio said. The mayor sat in on the planning board’s meeting and agreed with the main reason for not having a vote or poll. He said putting citizens on the spot by asking them to decide on the options, when some may be hearing about them for the first time, was unfair. Emerson, who also attended the planning meeting, said she saw the exclusion of a vote as a way to avoid confronting overwhelming opposition. “They don’t want to know it so clearly that they have to give up any particular idea,” she said.

however, agree with some of their concerns about not letting the discussion become overly negative. “The reason things are getting negative is people’s frustration that they’re not being heard,” she said. “To have a meeting once again where they’re not going to have their voice heard really clearly after speaking as a group will lead to more anger.” Discussion about a deadline for the start of construction tied to the grant remains vague, though Davolio said he did not think it would expire by June 30, the end of the state’s fiscal year. That means the city has time to go through its full planning process. Once Davolio

It will then go to the planning board for public meetings. From there, the group will make a recommendation that’s forwarded to the city council for further input and eventual approval. “If there’s a solution other than do nothing, I’d like to do it sooner rather than later,” he said.

Freeland gas station loses $4,400 in cigarette heist By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes were stolen from a Freeland gas station in an early morning burglary last month and the thief remains at large. Detective Ed Wallace, a spokesman for the Island County Sheriff’s Office, said an investigation has been launched to find the perpetrator but officers have yet to make an arrest. Freeland Shell on the corner of Fish Road and Highway 525 was burglarized at about 2:20 a.m. March 20. The bandit reportedly gained access to the building by breaking in through a drive-through window. The burglar is believed to have exited in similar fashion, shattering a glass front door. According to Wallace, the thief made off with a single item: cartons of cigarettes.

CRASH CONTINUED FROM A1

press memo released after the collision. The 1988 Ford van she was driving hit the guard rail on the right side of the road, before swerving across the centerline and into the northbound lane striking Keil’s 1993 Honda Accord. Keil, 61, was pronounced dead at the scene, and Nichols was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious injuries.

The estimated value of the pilfered smokes is about $4,400. “It adds up quick; that’s like three packs,” said Wallace, jokingly referring to the high cost of cigarettes these “It’s been pretty bad.” days. Price per pack ranges from $9 to $11, and the average price of a carton is about $95. That works out to about 46 cartons taken during the burglary. A Shell station manager declined to comment per company policy. The gas station, which includes a convenience store and popular daytime eatery, has been hit by cigarette thieves before. In a nearly identical incident in February 2013, three people wearing masks broke

through the drive-through window and stole the equivalent of $10,000 — 110 cartons of cigarettes and 120 cartons of chewing tobacco. The burglars were never caught. In both Kim Bailey, Pickles Deli cases, the motive was likely to resell the stolen merchandise, Wallace said. “That’s a lot to smoke,” he said. The Record learned of the burglary from the police blotter. The 9-1-1 calls also included another incident at Pickles Deli in Clinton. Surveillance video showed a person trying to kick in the front door. According to store owner Kim Bailey, the incident happened around 6:30 a.m. It was

unclear from the video if the person was a male or female. Bailey noted that small scale crime at Ken’s Korner seems to be on the rise, citing the theft of a company cart in the shopping center’s internal hallway, a raided soda machine, etc. “It’s been pretty bad,” she said. According to Wallace, the two recent incidents don’t appear to be related. “There’s always a possibility, but there’s no evidence of a link right now,” he said. Breaking windows or doors, referred to as “smash and grabs” by police, are a common way burglars gain access to lock premises. Wallace recommends outside lighting and video surveillance equipment as deterrents. Anyone with information about the crime is urged to contact the Island County Sheriff’s Office, South Precinct, at 360-3214400.

complex. “I ask you to consider that life is seldom black and white as was just presented to you,” he said. Schwarz emphasized that the 30-year-old patient has a long history of mental illness. He said she was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder, which is very 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. “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 aren’t going to agree,” he said. Schwarz gave a different version of events. He said Gipson took the patient by the chin and told her, “Look into my eyes. Focus on me. You need to calm down.” He said experts will testify that her actions were a “very important technique” used to redirect an upset patient’s attention. He said Gipson was responding to a “code gray” at the hospital, which means medical personnel are supposed to respond to a combative patient or other emergency. “Somebody had to take charge and make sure that nobody got hurt,” he said. “Linda Gipson committed no crime,” he added.
