Preservation school starts this month By Megan Hansen Editor

Volunteers will once again get hands-on experience in historic preservation as the Ebey’s Reserve Preservation Field School project gets underway later this month. The school will spend four weeks working on the Battery Moore plotting room at Fort Casey State Park. Program coordinator Sarah Steen said several structures were considered this year. “One of the allures of this is that it’s a public structure,” she said. “The parks service has a lot of historic buildings and need a lot of help.” Last year, the field school did preservation work on Coupeville Wharf and it was a highly visible project. Previous projects included stabilizing a carriage house on the Engle Farm and the Alexander Block House. The plotting room is a wood-frame and

Head nurse charged with assault By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Prosecutors charged the chief nursing officer at Whidbey General Hospital last week with assaulting a patient. Linda Gipson, 62, is facing a single count of assault in the fourth degree, a gross-misdemeanor charge. The criminal charge was filed July 2 in Island County District Court. Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie investigated the case. In his report, he wrote that Gipson fired one of the nurses who was an alleged witness and another employee expressed fear of retaliation if she spoke out. Whidbey General administration is standing by Gipson this week. Hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose said in a written statement that the administration conducted an internal investigation and concluded the allegations are without merit. “Dr. Gipson has over 30 years of experience and has cared for thousands of patients,”

To honor her late mother, Diane Groeschell of Freeland is matching all admission to the Island County Historical Society Museum during the months of July and August. Her mom, Mary Ellen Puck, (pictured below) was a longtime museum docent who died in 2008.

Former docent honored with gift By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

When Diane Groeschell looks back at some of the warmest memories of her mother, the list is long and deep. Mary Ellen Puck was passionate about so many things, including a love of gardening that rubbed off on her daughter. She was enamored by the natural beauty of Whidbey Island, particularly the view from her Teronda West home that she and her husband never grew tired of admiring. Groeschell also remembers how her mother gushed about her Fridays. For more than a decade, Puck reserved one day a week to spend as a volunteer docent at the Island County Historical Society Museum in Coupeville. With those thoughts stirring in her head, Groeschell decided recently to honor her mom’s memory by matching all admission fees collected at the museum during the months of July and August. Puck, who succumbed to Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 83 in 2008, served as a docent for about 14 years at the museum, stopping at around the turn of the century, her daughter estimated.

“I’ve been wanting to do something to honor her memory,” said Groeschell, who lives in Freeland. “I don’t know why it took

me so long to figure this out. The museum was the only thing she was truly passionate about outside of family and home.” Groeschell got the idea after learning that a Coupeville resident sponsored free admission to the museum for the month of April. Jackie Feusier looked at the act as a birthday gift to herself. Rick Castellano, the museum’s director, said the act caught on, leading to further sponsorships in September, October and November. “I am really grateful that Jackie pioneered this idea, and that others like Diane are stepping up as well,” he said. July and August are the museum’s busiest

Nurse: Hospital administration stands by head nurse after charges Rose said in her written statement. “This is the first time she has ever been accused of any inappropriate behavior toward any patient.” Because the administration believes that Gipson is innocent of any wrongdoing, she is currently on the job, according to Rose. “Whidbey General is confident that Dr. Gipson will continue to perform her duties as chief nursing officer and her good work in support of community health,” Rose wrote. “Dr. Gipson has been active improving access to safe and quality health care as well as improving mental health services for island residents.” Rose also said that Gipson did not technically fire a nurse in connection with the allegations. The nurse worked for a nursing agency, not the hospital. The Nursing Commission, which is under the state Department of Health, is also conducting an investigation. Norrie wrote that Gipson and the hospital’s security officer first called 911 dispatch to report that an unruly patient had assaulted a nurse May 13, but Gipson herself ended up being investigated for allegedly assaulting the same patient. Gipson claimed in her 911 call that the nurse was assaulted seven hours earlier and that the nurse was being X-rayed in the emergency room, Norrie wrote. A few minutes after Gipson’s call, a man called 911 to report that a different nurse, later identified as Gipson, had assaulted his 30-year-old daughter, according to Norrie’s report. Norrie investigated and spoke with the nurse who was allegedly injured in the assault. The woman said the patient had pushed her shoulder, but “did not report going to the ER at that time” and “seemed uninterested in the assault on her.” “She did not mention getting ER treatment and did Reach

Linda Gipson not seem upset about the incident,” Norrie wrote. It was clear from the report that the patient was combative. The nurses called a “code gray” and placed the woman in four-point restraints on a bed, the report states. Two other nurses, a nursing assistant and the patient herself, however, provided Norrie with different descriptions of how Gipson allegedly put her hands on the restrained patient. The alleged victim claimed that Gipson “purposely” choked her on the neck. She said it hurt and she told Gipson to stop, Norrie wrote in his report. One nurse claimed that she saw Gipson placing her hands around the restrained woman’s face. The nurse claimed the patient said Gipson was hurting her and told her to stop, but Gipson said she wouldn’t until the patient calmed down, according to the report. The nurse told Norrie she confronted Gipson outside the room about the alleged assault. Gipson first said she was trying to clear the patient’s airway and then said she was trying to keep her from spitting, though the nurse claimed there were “no threats or other signs” that the patient was going to spit, Norrie wrote. Later, Gipson told the nurse, “You can sign your patients off and you’re done

here,” the report states. A nursing assistant who was also in the room claimed that Gipson grabbed the woman’s neck and “tightly clenched her hand,” the marshal wrote. The assistant claimed that Gipson told the patient to calm down and the patient cried out that Gipson was hurting her, the report states. The other nurse who witnessed the alleged incident said Gipson squeezed the patient’s face tightly for at least one to two minutes; the nurse left the room during the incident, Norrie’s report states. That woman said she later overheard Gipson saying that she had to “release” a nurse because she didn’t know how to handle psychiatric patients and because the nurse had threatened to report her to the state, according to Norrie’s report. Gipson’s attorney told Norrie that she would not speak to him about the allegations made against her. The hospital administration noted that violence against hospital staff has been on the rise nationally and Whidbey General isn’t immune to this trend. “Violent patients require one-on-one care and may erupt with verbal or physical assault without warning, often requiring physical intervention to protect patients and staff from harm,” Rose said in her prepared statement. “WGH has also engaged a security firm to enhance protection efforts for staff, patients and visitors alike.”

Domestic Violence Affects Us All

t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things. Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it. Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.

That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle. I’ve seen how much of a difference every dollar makes for groups like WSCADV. Their Refuse To Abuse 5k is an easy way to raise awareness and resources for an organization that provides a lifeline to thousands of families every year.

If you can’t join the 5k, I encourage you to learn more about identifying the signs of DV and how to help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a 24-hour resource to keep handy if you know someone in danger – 800.799.7233. Trudi Inslee First Lady of Washington State

The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, July 10, 2014

Tourism is an important part of Whidbey Contributing writer Harry Anderson’s column in last week’s edition of The Whidbey Examiner caused a bit of a stir. In his column, Harry took a good-natured poke at the swarms of tourists who come to visit our beloved island each summer. Intended to be a humorous piece written from the perspective of someone who lives in Central Whidbey, his column didn’t sit well with some who rely heavily on the tourism industry for their livelihoods. It’s fair to say not everyone was laughing. Central Whidbey and other communities on our island rely heavily on tourism and the dollars injected into the local economy. Tourism is a vital industry that nobody can deny is the lifeblood for our business community. Several weeks ago, The Examiner published an article that looked at Coupeville’s booming Bed and Breakfast industry. We reported that, during 2013, businesses in Island County that paid 2 percent lodging taxes brought more than $240,000. That’s county-wide. In Coupeville alone, lodging brought in more than $24,000 in 2 percent tax. Those funds go back to our community and are used to promote tourism. The funds are directed to organizations such as the nonprofit Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. Lodging taxes aren’t just an indicator of how much in tourism dollars are being pumped into our local economy on an annual basis, they reveal how much we depend — and therefore appreciate — the impact of tourists. Harry’s column was meant to be tonguein-cheek. He concedes now that his humor may have been lost in some quarters. Residents of Central Whidbey live here because they choose to — and most of us embrace the summer crowds because they help keep our economy healthy and prosperous. And in no way do we ever want to discourage visitors from sharing in the beauty that we are fortunate enough to call “home.”

Column recognizes tourism’s success Editor, To all businesses in Coupeville, you have my heartfelt thanks. Your welcoming attitude and respect for our visitors is one of the many things that makes Coupeville so very special. Visitors are what keep Coupeville alive and growing. Thank you, also to the nonprofit organizations whose efforts bring visitors to Coupeville to enjoy the many events we have each year. Last but by no means least, the chamber’s hard work has not gone unnoticed. My thanks to Harry Anderson who recognizes that the chamber has done a fabulous job of putting Coupeville on the

map. As we all know, tourism supports local business.

Lynda Eccles Executive Director Coupeville Chamber of Commerce

Thanks for another great garage sale Editor, The Coupeville Lions Club would like to express our gratitude to the community for their support in helping to make our club’s largest fundraiser of the year, the garage sale of June 28 and 29, so successful. I also send thanks to all of the Lions and community members who showed up every day with a smile on their faces and

worked to get everything cleaned, sorted, displayed, repaired, inflated and priced. It is a monumental project that only the mighty Coupeville Lions could pull off every year, and this was our 35th. A special thanks to co-chairs Ricardo Reyes and Julian Sayers for keeping everyone on track and motivated. Also thanks to the members, our unsung heroes, who pick up donations all year long and to those who keep everything sorted and stored throughout the year. So much of the garage sale goes on behind the scenes, and our community will be the richer for it as we will be able to financially support many important programs in the coming year.

Showcase gardens take planning, organization I spent a recent Saturday volunteering as a docent at one of the five beautiful gardens on toni grove the annual sowin ’n’ the trowel Whidbey Island Garden Tour. Garden Tours are a great way to get ideas for your own garden. They’re also a good place – if the garden owners are truthful – to hear cautionary tales about poorly situated plants, ground covers run amok and plant lust gone terribly wrong. And, if you’re like me, you may return to your own garden, stare at your weedy and disorganized flower beds and weep like a professional mourner for an hour or two. It’s like watching the Flying Karamazov Brothers juggle chainsaws and live chickens and then going home and stepping on a rake. I’ve discovered one of the unifying themes that tends to run through these stellar gardens is planning and organization. Not to say serendipity and whimsy aren’t encouraged; I think the best gardens display a respect and understanding of Mother Nature’s desire to fill in the blank spaces and round sharp corners into curves. I’m not suggesting you go to the same extreme lengths as the landscape architects, gardeners and various artists involved with the design of the famous gardens of Versailles outside of Paris. But do think about how you want to enjoy your garden and how best to showcase it to your friends and family. After all, when you have something you’re proud of and you love, you want to present it in the best possible light to the people whose opinions you value the most. If your garden is large, have you planned

different garden “rooms” along a meandering pathway, each with a different theme or color scheme? Will all or part of your garden be intended as a place for quiet reflection or a haven in which to observe wildlife? Will there be plenty of bird and butterfly friendly flowers blooming in succession throughout the growing season? Will there be benches, rock walls or logs provided along the way for garden visitors to rest? Is your garden meant to be viewed from a deck or elevated ground? Can you actually see it from the house or is it somewhere behind the grove of western red cedar or Douglas fir that you can’t bear to part with? I’m not advocating cutting the big trees down, but how about planting a bed of natives that thrive on the edges of our forests, like red flowering current, evergreen huckleberry and red huckleberry, then add in the sun lovers as you gradually come out of the shade. Then you can lead your visitors on paths behind and through the trees to the secret garden you’re only willing to share with the people who mean the most to you. If your garden is small, you can provide some privacy and create an illusion of depth by using vines along fences and trellises, and by layering shrubs and small trees in incremental heights at the back of a bed. Bamboo is often used this way, and honeysuckle and grapevines can easily give the impression that someone else’s home isn’t lurking a mere few feet away, just beyond your idyllic retreat. When planning your landscaping, however, just be careful to keep your plants on your side of the fence or be gracious in offering to artfully prune any of your behemoths so the neighbors can also enjoy their own little bit of heaven in their own backyards. Don’t forget, one gardener’s ivy-covered dream is another’s ivy-covered nightmare.

2 Little League softball teams heading to state By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Central Whidbey will be well represented at the state Little League softball tournaments this weekend. The 13/14 junior team qualified this week with a pair of wins over North Whidbey at Coupeville High School. The 9/10 team earned a spot at state last week by winning the District 11 tournament in Langley.

9/10 Softball

Even 10-year-olds understand the importance of team chemistry. The Central/South Whidbey 9/10 Little League softball team qualified for the state tournament with three one-sided wins in the district tournament. It will begin state play at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 12, in Asotin against Woodinville. So, why was the team so dominate in the district tournament, winning its three games by an average score of 17-5? “We mesh well together,” Mollie Bailey said. “We don’t disagree.” Coral Caveness echoed that statement: “We work well together; we don’t fight like some other teams.” “We get along,” Stella Johnson added. Head coach Lark Gustafson said his club is “cohesive” and has “some good, talented players.” “We have solid pitching with Chelsea (Prescott) and a combination of kids that works,” he added.

Central Whidbey’s Mia Littlejohn bunts in the 14-2 district win over North Whidbey Monday. Southeast corner of Washington. Temperatures are forecasted to hit triple digits. Prescott said the heat should be “no big deal” because the team will be focused on playing. The young Wolves agreed the trip should be a kick regardless of the outcome of the games. “Just the fact that we are going to state is amazing,”

Bailey said. Caveness said. “Win or lose, it doesn’t matter, because we will have fun.” Make no mistake, they are in it to win. “We are doing so good, I know we are going to beat some teams,” Johnson said.

“Teamwork, without a doubt, is our strength,” McGanahan said. “These girls grew up together.” Shortstop/pitcher Katrina McGanahan, the coach’s daughter, said, “We are all friends; we are close outside of softball.” “We all work well together,” said catcher Sarah Wright. Central Whidbey is undefeated (17-0) and has not been challenged this year; no team has been closer than 10 runs. The lack of competition and how his team will handle adversity is “a concern,” coach McGanahan said. “But this team has always battled back.” Katrina McGanahan said a close game could be good, forcing the team to play harder. If things get rocky, “the team will come together, they always do.” The goal at state is “to play hard,” according to Wright. Katrina McGanahan added, “To have fun and not let anyone hang their heads.” Coach McGanahan said getting to a state has made this a successful season, but getting “one win would be nice.” In Monday’s district opener, Central Whidbey built a 4-0 lead heading into the fourth inning and then erupted for eight runs to cement the win. The big inning started with four consecutive hits, singles by Hope Lodell, Lauren Rose, Katrina McGranahan and Sarah Wright. After an error and an out, a double by Veronica Crownover and a single by Robin Cedillo continued the rally. Rose

added another hit, a double, to collect the seventh hit in the inning. McGranahan finished 3-for-3 with a double, walk and three runs. Wright was also 3-for-3, ripping two triples and scoring two runs. Crownover slugged a pair of doubles and scored two runs. Rose was 2-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs. Lodell, Tamika Nastali, Cedillo and Emily Licence all added one single. Bella Northup pitched a two-hitter with seven strikeouts. In Tuesday’s game, North Whidbey matched Central Whidbey’s four runs in the first inning, but from that point Central Whidbey pulled away for the 17-6 win. Central Whidbey picked up its four runs with the help of four walks, singles by McGanahan and Northup and a double by Wright. Central Whidbey continued to roll in the second inning, scoring five runs. Doubles by Wright and Crownover and singles by McGanahan, Northup and Lodell highlighted the inning. Singles by Wright and Northup plated a run in the third. Central Whidbey added four runs in the fourth. Lodell, McGranahan and Nastali singled, and Wright doubled. A three-run fifth finished the scoring. Wright recorded her fifth hit and fourth double; Lauren Rose singled. Wright finished 5-for-5 with four doubles and five runs. McGranahan and Northup had three hits each, and Rose two.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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.

Burn ban announced

Preservation: National Park staff will teach volunteers

Island County will be under a modified burn ban starting Tuesday, July 15. As of 8 a.m. that day, no outdoor burning of natural debris will be permitted, even with a permit, according the notice from the Island County Sheriff’s Office. Under this modified ban, recreational and cooking fires will be allowed, but only in approved fire pits. These pits will need to be lined with concrete, like those that can be found in campgrounds. Outdoor cooking will also be allowed on a propane or briquette barbecue, or in a

From page 1 stucco “sewell” type of building common in coastal artillery fortifications prior to World War I. The plotting room, which is tucked between Battery Moore and its commander’s tower, was built in 1915 when the battery commanders’ stations were repositioned directly behind each battery to bring them closer to the guns they supervised, according to park officials. These small rooms contained the staff, plotting boards and equipment needed to accurately aim the battery’s 10-inch disappearing gun at its target. Once common throughout the Puget Sound, the plotting room is one of only two of its type remaining. The school will be instructed by Steen and other National Park Service staff who have preservation experience. Some of the work that will be completed on the plotting room includes structure work, installing a new roof and reconstructing windows. Volunteers will learn how to glaze windows, which Steen said is a very valuable trade to learn if you own a historic home. “If you have a historic home, knowing how to reglaze windows can save you a lot of money,” she said. The field school started in 2008 to provide technical support to owners of the reserve’s historic buildings, give community members an opportunity to help preserve nationally significant buildings for future generations and to offer a chance to learn hands-on preservation work. It is a collaborative effort of the

The Battery Moore plotting room at Fort Casey State Park will be the focus of the 2014 Ebey’s Reserve Preservation Field School. Volunteers will spend four weeks reroofing the wood-frame and stucco building, which was built in 1915. Trust Board, National Park Service, Coupeville Lions Club and community volunteers. The 2014 field school will be held starting Monday, July 21 through Thursday, August 14. It will run for four weeks, Monday through Thursday. There will be two shifts each day, 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Steen said volunteers don’t have to attend sessions every day and can sign up even throughout the duration of the school. Brown Bag Lunch Lectures will be open to both volunteers and the public at noon on Tuesdays during the session. Speakers will talk about Fort Casey social and military history, the restoration

of Battery Worth and the story behind how one of the 10-inch disappearing guns got to Fort Casey from Battery Wint in the Philippines. A pre-field school safety orientation meeting will be held 4 p.m. Thursday, July 17 at Fort Casey. Twenty people have already signed up for the field school through the parks service and volunteers are signing up through the Lions Club as well. “It should be a lot of fun,” Steen said. “It’s really accessible. I hope we get people stopping by.” Sign-up is now open for all shifts of the field school. For more information, contact Sarah Steen at 360-678-6084 or at sarah_ steen@partner.nps.gov

Museum: Groeschell will match admissions dollar-for-dollar From page 1 months, meaning Groeschell’s dollar-for-dollar match could translate to thousands of dollars. General admission to the museum is $3 for adults or $2.50 for seniors, students or active duty military and their dependents. “It’s wonderful,” Castellano said. “This is their museum. It’s good to see people stepping up and supporting it and making sure it’s going to be here for generations to come.” When Puck started volunteering, the museum was located in the old fire station across Alexander Street that now houses the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce and Firehouse Inn.

self-contained camp stove, according to the notice. The reason for this scheduled burn ban is stated as lower-than-normal moisture levels, low humidity and warmer weather, all of which increase the risk of fire. July and August in Island County have the lowest precipitation, with less than one inch of rain, on average, according to city-data.com. The ban, put officially in place by Sheriff Mark Brown, serving as the Island County Fire Marshal, will start at 8 a.m. July 15, and remain in effect until further notice.

Groeschell said her mom dug deep into her role, searching thrift shops for “items that could pass for period clothing.” She researched town history and guided visitors on historic home tours. “She was very proud of the museum,” Groeschell said. Groeschell had accepted an award for her father, Edwin Puck, when he was inducted into Everett Community College’s Sports Hall of Fame as a coach after his death in 2007. She also donated her dad’s extensive golf equipment to the college where he coached golf and track and field and was a football assistant coach. The Pucks, who were married for 61 years, moved to Whidbey Island in 1979. Groeschell retired to Whidbey three years ago. “It was almost like coming home even though I never lived here before,” she said.
