WGH gets closer to selecting new chief
Hospital included in state audit report
By MICHELLE BEAHM Whidbey News Group Whidbey General Hospital has narrowed to three its field of candidates for chief executive officer. CEO Tom Tomasino is stepping down from the position in October, giving him and the board plenty of time to train his replacement before his departure. With only three candidates in the running and hopes of making a job offer by the end of January, Commissioner Anne Tarrant, who also serves as board president, said they’re not releasing the names of the finalists at this time. The search executive hired to help line up candidates, Kate Kingsley of KL Kingsley Executive Search, hasn’t confirmed whether the top three candidates notified their current employers of their search for a new job, Tarrant said. “They are all gainfully employed and I don’t want to jeopardize their current positions,” Tarrant said. Keeping the identities a secret “is the best thing to do for everybody,” Kingsley said. The names and backgrounds of the remaining candidates will be released soon, however. The hospital board is hosting three luncheons over the next week, one for each candidate, to allow members of the community to get to know them before a final selection is made. The luncheons are by invitation only. Tarrant said invitations were sent to the three mayors on the island, a former CEO, a representative from the health department, representatives from the three chambers of commerce on the island, one of the county commissioners and the Whidbey News SEE CEO SEARCH, A20

James Wills files mail into post office boxes at the Clinton post office Monday. After a 34-year career at the Clinton post office, he will retire at the end of January and focus on his passion, painting.
Clinton post office clerk to retire after 34 years of service to south end By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
James Wills has a lot of nicknames. People who come to the Clinton post office to weigh packages, check for lost mail and buy stamps know him as Jim, Jimmy and Jimbo. The nicknames extend from Wills, 65, as well. He calls the customers kid, lad, dude and dear, depending on who it is and how well he knows them, which typically is pretty well. “I know everybody,” he said Monday as he worked at the front desk weighing parcels and greeting customers. “I know everybody’s parents. I know everybody’s grandparents.” During work, a customer strolled in, saw a reporter and asked, “Is Jimmy going to be on the front page of the newspaper?” All of that friendly banter and a 34-year cache of memories will wrap up in a final shift Friday, Jan. 30. Wills is retiring from his United States Postal Service career at the end of the month. Many years ago, Wills was a teacher looking to get his certificate approved when he first moved to Washington. The difficulty of that process forced him to find other employment, which led to a long career working in the Clinton post office. When he started in November 1980, he remembered being across the highway from the current location on
Deer Lake Road, but only briefly before moving into the building near the Clinton park and ride. A painter on the side, or perhaps a post office clerk on the side and a professional painter, Wills said he stuck with the job because he never went home with work and his art never took off to Thomas Kinkade-level wealth and fame. “This job, when you’re done, you’re done,” he said. “And because my painting hasn’t made me millions yet,” he added, cracking a sly smile as he filed mail into post office boxes, many of which he knows almost reflexively. His memory of people and their lives — their families, their jobs, their homes, their problems — is vast. He asks one woman about her daughter, another about a neighbor, chats up one woman about the little girl with her. “As I recall, you couldn’t reach the counter,” he said, with the little girl’s eyes and forehead barely peering above the four-foot counter top. “Now you see over it.” Wills, whose job is to help people get letters and bills and boxes from South Whidbey to all over the world, is himself a well-traveled man. He has visited all but three states. “When I was a kid, I used to hitchhike a lot …,” he said. “I’ve been to every state except for Kentucky, SEE WILLS, A20
Whidbey General Hospital officials failed to file complete financial reports with the Washington State Auditor’s Office for three years in a row, a violation of state law. As part of a special report on local government transparency, the auditor’s office released a list last week of local government agencies that have been late in filing the required reports, have filed incomplete reports or failed to file at all in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013. “I hope this report highlights the importance of transparency and accountability for all local governments, not only in meeting their legal requirements,” Auditor Troy Kelley said in a statement, “but in meeting the expectations of the people they serve.” A total of 11 local government bodies in Island County were on the list, but they are all small bodies — water, sewer, cemetery and drainage districts — except for the hospital and the Island County Emergency Services Communications Center. Hospital officials did not file financial reports in 2013 or 2012; they filed an incomplete report in 2011. The hospital has $112 million in operating expenses for 2015 and a projected loss of $4.9 million, which will be covered by reserves. SEE REPORT, A12

Langley bank given OK for branch at Freeland “Langley State Bank has been given oral approval of an application to build a branch bank at Freeland. “The word came Tuesday when the state department of banking phoned the local bank president, E.E. Noble, and told him that the application had been approved and that he should send in the necessary license fees. The checks were put in the mail that evening. “Both the Langley State Bank and the Whidbey Island Bank at Coupeville had applied for permission to establish a branch office. Apparently, one of the turning points in the decision was that the Langley bank’s application included plans for a proposed new building. “Tentative plans, still subject to change, call for construction of a 36’ by 44’ building next to the Freeland Hardware, with Everett Hays of Freeland to do the building…”

Improvements needed, but ferry leaders say agency is still successful By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Despite the troubles faced by Washington State Ferries in recent years, the agency still manages to be reliable 99.5 percent of the time, according to Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, Assistant Secretary Lynne Griffith. The newly-appointed secretary fielded questions from Island County commissioners Thursday along with other jurisdictions impacted by state ferry service. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson agreed that the ferries usually run so smoothly that it’s easy for residents to get “cranky” when things go wrong. Still, the ferry system locally has seen some problems in recent years, particularly concerning design issues. The Coupeville ferry had a list, and ramps on the Clinton ferry were manufactured too steep for low-carriage vehicles. As a result of these issues, Griffith said she made it a priority to “hit the water first,” spending her first three months with employees on the front lines. “The fleet is a lot smarter at this than I will ever be,” Griffith said, adding that her ground-up approach will hopefully help her find out “what really needs attention, and what we are doing really well.” Outreach to both staff and passengers is going to be really important, according to Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard. Ferry leadership’s lack of connection with the fleet has lead to employee “disenfranchise-

SOUTH END Port seeks new commissioner Qualified candidates seeking appointment as a Port of South Whidbey commissioner have until the end of the week to submit an application. A port news release this week announced the deadline is Friday, Jan. 16. The position became available late last year when former commissioner Dennis Gregoire stepped down after deciding to relocate to Everett. The district 1 seat represents Freeland, and interested candidates must live in the area to qualify. A map of District 1 is available on the Port’s website at www. portofsouthwhidbey.com. Also, as Gregoire resigned before the end of his term, the appointment will be temporary. The successful candidate will serve from February through November this year. To apply, provide a letter of interest and statement of qualifications by mail, email or fax to: Port of South Whidbey, PO Box 872, Freeland WA 98249. Email should be sent to portfinance@portofsouth whidbey.com and the fax number is 360.331.5414.
Application materials may also be dropped off in person at the Port office located at 1804 Scott Rd., Ste. 101 in Freeland. Applicants will be interviewed by the Board at a special meeting (date and time to be determined). For additional information, please contact port Executive Director Angi Mozer at 360.331.5494 or portfinance@portofsouth whidbey.com.
PORT Help needed with homeless count Volunteers are needed to assist with the annual Homeless ‘Point in Time’ Count to be conducted on Jan. 29. The count is a nationwide event which takes place in January. It is an effort to find how many individuals are homeless in each county. This year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is requiring communities to seek out and count unsheltered people who are sleeping in places “unfit for human habitation,” such as in parks or on the street in addition to those residing in shelters. Communities nationwide are in the midst of recruiting and training volunteers to conduct
these unsheltered counts. To volunteer for the South Whidbey count, contact Island County Housing Resource Coordinator Joanne Pelant at 360-678-7962 or Good Cheer Food Bank’s Community Outreach Coordinator Shawn Nowlin at 360-221-0130.
COUNTY Sheriff’s office warns of mail theft A recent rise in mail theft across Whidbey Island led the Island County Sheriff’s Office to release an official warning Tuesday morning. In an email alert, Sheriff Mark Brown wrote that thieves are looking to steal identities and/or alter checks sent in the mail. He advised to check mail as soon as possible after its regular delivery time, especially if expecting packages or letters of value. He recommended installing locked mailboxes or use of post office boxes. “Please keep in mind that it is statistically safer to receive monthly or bimonthly checks ‘electronically’ than it would be through the mail system,” Brown wrote. A plum-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser with a dent in the rear hatch was reported by Brown as a possible suspect vehicle. Report any suspicious activity near mail boxes to 911.

June Farrington has a host of memories and memorabilia from her deceased husband’s long career in the military and law enforcement. There was one piece missing, and it was perhaps the most crucial element of Ed Farrington’s career: a Langley police badge. That was rectified recently when Langley Police Chief Dave Marks dug through his office’s archives and old boxes to find a badge from the 1970s. Ed Farrington was a marshal in Langley during that period, shortly after he and his wife moved to South Whidbey to raise their family and later return as retirees. “This seemed like home to us,� said June in her Langley home. “This is where I intend to stay
being woken late so she could accompany him during arrests of women to avoid any charges of wrongdoing. “He’d take me out of bed in the wee hours of the morning whenever he arrested a woman and go clear all the way to Mount Vernon,� she said. Marks, who served as an officer in Langley for years before being hired as the police chief, met Ed Farrington before he died. He said Ed came into the office a few times to bring old police gear — duty belts, a night stick — and memorabilia, including Ed Farrington’s officer’s log. “It was pretty interesting,� Marks said. “We don’t do it that much different today,� he added, referring to the methods of policing he read about from Ed’s log and heard from June’s stories.

Hospital leaders need to rethink transparency
There’s an old saying out there that goes something like this: If one person calls you a donkey, forgive and forget. If two people call you one, think twice. But if three people say the same thing, it’s time to turn around and look for a tail. When it comes to a lack of transparency and eroding public trust, Whidbey General Hospital is a donkey. Private citizens, former employees, the newspaper, most recently the Island County sheriff and prosecutor, and now the state Auditor’s Office — they’re all asking the same question: “What is going on at that hospital?” One can’t help but wonder how many have to voice the same question before the commissioners snap to and hear the chorus of people screaming in their faces. Well, here’s the wake-up call, commissioners. There’s a problem at the hospital, and everyone sees it but you. Big institutions like the hospital, the largest government employer in Island County besides the U.S. Navy at nearly 700 workers, will always have a few people who, for whatever reasons, seem to have it out for the institution. Similarly, small community hospitals will always contend with a host of former patients who swear that doctors there are incompetent, that the cost of medical care is too much, etc. While those complaints may have some merit, they’re not unusual at hospitals that serve small and isolated communities. Whidbey General has many fine nurses and physicians, but the facility will never offer the same level of service as its metropolitan counterparts — it’s not designed to. As for the price, everything is more expensive on the island, so why would health care be any different? But there’s something going on beyond the expected moans and groans about Whidbey General Hospital. Hospital leadership in recent years has been increasingly and alarmingly closed, from changing the commissioners’ regular meeting time to 7 a.m. to the newspapers’ seemingly constant struggle to get information, or for that matter to simply speak with top officials. To this effect, there seems to be a perspective among administrators that we “have it out” for the hospital. That’s like saying we have it out for Island Transit. Neither is true. We’re just doing our jobs, explaining the facts and describing people’s concerns. The hospital’s handling of the legal case involving Linda Gipson, chief nursing officer, has been deplorable. The sheriff questioned the hospital’s early defense of Gipson during the investigation, and the prosecutor is shaking his head over the lengths administrators went through to protect Gipson.

Whidbey General Hospital is rife with problems Editor, With a patient’s alleged assault by an administrator, administration’s resistance to a prosecuting attorney’s subpoena and the commissioners’ lack of operational transparency, Whidbey General Hospital has been the subject of numerous local newspaper reports. Another newsworthy issue is WGH’s being the only non-accredited hospital in the region. Although some of its programs are accredited, the hospital as a whole is not. “Accreditation is the selfassessment and external peer assessment process used by health care organizations to accurately assess their level of performance in relation to established standards and to implement ways to continuously improve.” Accreditation is earned through organizations such as the Joint Commission and DNV GL. Each has a “gold standard” industry-proven basis for an objective evaluation and improvement process. The accreditation process is rigorous because continual improvement in quality and patient safety must be demonstrated. Whidbey General Hospital is certi-
STAFF
fied by CMS (Medicare) through the inspection and licensing procedures of the Washington State Department of Health. According to the Department of Health’s website, this licensing is based on a hospital’s providing care within minimum health and safety standards established by state law. If WGH chooses only the minimum standards to operate, do we really need a $50 million state-of-the-art wing? WGH’s voluntary lack of accreditation, a standard of hospitals throughout the nation, is inexcusable. This situation is even noted on Consumer Report’s website. Because of the current hospital leadership’s aversion to public scrutiny and input there are only two ways island residents can receive more than minimum standards health care. The first is to leave the island via the bridge and the other is to leave on a ferry. TOM LEAHY Freeland

Hospital medical services are too expensive Editor, What is it about Whidbey General Hospital that seems to garner so much bad press? Can it be the outrageous pricing structure for medical procedures performed there? Perhaps. I just checked today (yet again) to compare pricing for seven common procedures and surprise, surprise, Whidbey General comes out one and a half to almost nine times as expensive as Everett or Seattle or even the national average.

The conflicting testimony in court last week of hospital CEO Tom Tomasino and Teresa Fulton, chief quality officer, is further troubling. It’s a strong indication of mismanagement, or worse, and neither possibility improves the hospital’s already shaky public trust. Now, Whidbey General has been included in a list of public agencies around Washington that failed in recent years to comply with a state law that requires local governments to file financial reports in a timely manner. Where are the commissioners? Why aren’t they stepping in and demanding accountability? Why does it seem so clear that they are on the side of hospital administration, rather than the people who elected them to serve as their representatives? We urge the commissioners to ask themselves those same questions, and it couldn’t be more evident that we aren’t the only ones doing so. But, if the message still isn’t clear, here it is again put in a different way. Hee-hee, hee-haw. Heehaw. Hee-haw.
to get to a hospital.” What, you’ve heard that one before? Hardly surprising. Or maybe it’s something just as systemic, that being the ongoing Tomasino/ Fulton/Gipson fiasco that is reported in this paper. Seems like there’s enough incompetence, subterfuge, and drama to fuel a soap opera. But this is real and there’s nothing in the least entertaining about it. About this time last year, a very good friend of mine was admitted to Whidbey General, strapped to a bed, given inappropriate medications and mistreated to the point of great alarm to her partner and close friends. It took a special meeting involving a court order from a judge to get her out of there and into a Seattle hospital where she quickly improved after appropriate and competent treatment. This is not hearsay. I was there. The proceedings were recorded.

I wonder, after reading of this clearly similar situation in The Record, just how much of a problem this is. It’s wonderful that we have a facility like Whidbey General available to us here on Whidbey Island. It’s terrible that it seems to be rife with incompetence and mismanagement. If only it could be taken over by a medical organization or facility that knows how to run things right.

Shape It Up! Imagine the excitement of
going to a car dealership to purchase a shiny new vehicle. Your anticipation is high – until you pull into the lot. There you see a scattering of dusty vehicles parked helterskelter around the building. Some have flat tires, others are scratched and dented. If you even make a purchase, would you pay their full asking price? Now imagine you’re a homeowner planning to sell. Your front door needs paint, the yard is choked with weeds, the carpet soiled, and the bathtubs need caulking. in short, the house is in a state of “deferred maintenance.” What about the price? Most homeowners want to receive every dollar possible for their home. It’s only natural. So, the home is priced at top dollar. All that’s missing is a buyer. Now imagine you’re a prospect for that home. Would you pay the asking price, given its present condition? The home is just begging for a low offer, isn’t it? Worse yet, many buyers would walk away, looking elsewhere for the home of their dreams. If you plan to sell you home, be aware that buyers often offer $2 less for every $1 needed in repairs. It’s just a rule of thumb, but one which merits your attention. To receive top dollar, offer your home in model home condition – or it’s you who will pay the price.

Rallies fall flat for Falcon girls basketball By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Free throws proved to be the difference for Cedarcrest’s girls basketball team in a 42-41 comefrom-behind victory over South Whidbey on Friday night. They were again crucial Monday against island rival Coupeville in a 43-32 loss. In Coupeville, the Falcons’ offense fell flat for long stretches punctuated by a few brilliant bursts. Trailing by 17 points late in the third quarter, South Whidbey scored 11 points in 90 seconds, including a pair of threes from sophomore Emily Turpin, a three from sophomore Kacie Hanson and a two-pointer. Early in the fourth quarter, Falcon sophomore Kinsey Eager scored and made a free throw, followed by another Hanson three to cut the lead to 37-31 with 2:23 left in the game. South Whidbey failed to score another basket after that, finishing with one free throw, three turnovers and three missed shots as Coupeville hit six straight free throws in the final minute to secure the Wolves’ win and the Falcons sixth consecutive loss. Last week, Cedarcrest’s players committed themselves to driving to the basket for layups and fouls. Sometimes they got both, chipping away at South Whidbey’s lead in the third and fourth quarters. But Cedarcrest hit five of its

Boys hoops’ five-game losing streak ends with big rivalry win The South Whidbey boys basketball team got its first win of 2015 with a thumping of its island rival in Coupeville on Monday night. South Whidbey cruised behind threepoint shooting and a superb first quarter. The Falcons opened by hitting their first seven shots to take a 16-6 lead just a few minutes into the game, a non-league 1A match. Falcon senior Chandler Sutton scored eight of South Whidbey’s first 16 points in the early run and finished with a second-best 23 points.
“Overall, I thought we played well,” said Falcon head coach Mike Washington Sr. “We would have liked to shoot better in the second quarter and rebound better in the third, but I am happy with the kids. They played hard.” Coupeville made a run in the second quarter, cutting the lead to two points with five minutes left in the half. But South Whidbey countered with a 14-3 run, sparked by senior Parker Collins who hit two three-pointers and a pair of free throws. He made six of South
Whidbey’s 10 threepointers and led all scorers with 27 points. Every South Whidbey player, nine different Falcons, scored in the game. Both teams got physical in the second half as they combined to shoot 32 free throws in the final two quarters. South Whidbey struggled at the line, going 13-for-28 from the line. Whidbey News Group sports editor Jim Waller contributed to this report. John Fisken photo

Three Falcons win JV titles Even at a junior varsity tournament, South Whidbey’s wrestlers were the little fish in a big pond Saturday at Arlington High School. All the same, three Falcons left as weight-class champions amid stiff competition in a 300-plus field of grapplers. Falcon head coach Jim Thompson said every wrestler he took got at least three matches in, and mat time is the most important element as South Whidbey gears up for the postseason in a few weeks. “That’s exactly what we’re looking for right now,” Thompson said. Falcon sophomore Hunter Newman at 132 pounds, senior Josh McElhinny at 138 and sophomore Jack Nielsen at 145 each won their weight class. “They really kind of dominated their guys,” Thompson said. As for the rest of the Falcons, Thompson was more critical. He cited several issues with technique and strength, both of which will not be addressed lightly or quickly. All of the Falcons will work on starting from the down position, escaping and pinning to recover points. “I don’t have a problem with their effort,” he said. “Their effort is there. … You just wrestled really good kids this week.” South Whidbey scrapped its head-to-head meets, called dual meets, with Cascade Conference opponents this season. With only eight wrestlers on the roster, Thompson believes the trip didn’t make much sense for either team. Instead the Falcons are focusing on weekend tournaments that guarantee a minimum of two matches per wrestler, such as the King of the Mountain Tournament on Jan. 17 that South Whidbey will attend in Darrington. There, the Falcons are going to face at least three ranked schools in different classifications, including 1B Darrington, 1A Sultan and 2A Cedarcrest. “This is a good tournament for some of these guys to see where they are and where they’re going to be at the end of the year,” Thompson said.

Wolves late in the game. Cedarcrest (2-3 Cascade Conference, 4-6 overall) capitalized on several second-chance opportunities, including the go-ahead basket that came after a missed shot on a putback by Red Wolf sophomore Kennedy Howell, who finished with a team-high 10 points. South Whidbey recovered from a sluggish second quarter and surged into halftime. Trailing 20-9 with 3:32 left in the second quarter, the Falcons got going after junior Morgan Davis banked in a pair of three-pointers. The Falcons’ defense held together to cut the lead 20-15 at the break. From the first play of the second half, the Falcons looked to have

held their momentum. Sophomore Kinsey Eager, who led all scorers with 14 points, hit a short jump shot just seconds into play. She scored the next two baskets for South Whidbey to tie the score at 23-23. Abby Hodson, a Falcon senior, stayed busy defensively by tipping and stealing several passes, including one that led to a driving layup to take the lead, the Falcons’ first of the game nearly 21 min-
utes into the match. Creating turnovers extended the Falcons’ lead through the rest of the third quarter. Another Hodson steal led to a Mackenzie Collins layup that pushed their lead to four points. But the Red Wolves would not go quietly, and roared back with defensive pressure of their own to tie the game at 27-27 until another Eager layup put South Whidbey on top at the end of the period. The Falcons nearly had the game sealed with an eight-point lead midway through the final quarter. Cedarcrest’s offensive attack caught South Whidbey’s aggressive defenders and put the Red Wolves at the line for free throws. South Whidbey finished with nine-of-17 free-throw shooting, and Cedarcrest with 10 of 17 in a one-point victory for the Red Wolves. After missing a pair of three throws, Eager scored on an inbounds play to retake the lead 41-40 with 42 seconds remaining. Howell answered with a pick-androll layup, leaving South Whidbey with seconds for a shot at the victory, but Eager’s attempt missed and a desperation jumper by Davis bounced off the rim, securing Cedarcrest’s win and South Whidbey’s fifth straight loss.

Hearts & Hammers seeks homes Hearts & Hammers of South Whidbey is on the hunt for homes to repair for its annual workday, and the time to apply is now. This year’s workday is set for May 2, but the deadline for those looking for assistance is Jan. 31, the volunteer organization announced in a recent news release. Since 1994, Hearts & Hammers has repaired hundreds of homes, helping homeowners who physically or financially are unable to do the work alone. The mission is neighbors helping neighbors stay in their homes. Hundreds of volunteers gather to bring whatever repairs and renovations are possible within the scope of a one-day work party. Last year over 36 homes received help from carpentry to clean up and trash removal, repairing floors and decks to replacing windows and doors. According to the release, it’s a day of volunteering for plumbers and electricians, gardeners and just regular folks who come to lend a helping hand. Priority is given to health and safety concerns at no cost to the
homeowner because of the support of the community. This is also possible because of donations of labor and materials from many local businesses and the efforts of hundreds of local volunteers. “As we enter our 22nd year it is good to see that so many volunteers, with help from community resources, keep home owners safe and healthy in their homes,” said Ross Goodwin, president of Hearts & Hammers. It is not just the homeowners who appreciate the help, added Goodwin, but volunteers also gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction having an opportunity to help their community.

Never stop moving: Langley dance teacher honors her mentor’s legacy By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record When Langley choreographer and dance teacher Daunne Bacon Zinger herniated two of the discs of her spine, doctors told her she would likely never dance again. But Bacon Zinger heeded the words of her idol, jazz dance icon Luigi Faccuito; she never stopped moving. With the help of physical therapy, steroid injections and Faccuito’s signature rehabilitative dance routine, Bacon Zinger regained her strength. Eventually, she was able to discard her wheelchair and return to the studio. Bacon Zinger recently returned from a week-long workshop at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., where she co-taught Luigi’s dance routine to a group of actors and fellow dancers. The workshop was part of the preparation process for an upcoming musical entitled “Never Stop Moving: Luigi’s Legacy.” The play pays homage to the life and legacy of jazz-dance innovator Eugene “Luigi” Faccuito and is expected to debut at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in December. Bacon Zinger, who earned a later-in-life bachelor of arts degree in dance from the University of Washington in 2011, said she is overjoyed to have been invited to take part in the creative process of producing the honorary musical. Karen Setlowe, playwright, has been researching, writing and developing the story for the past seven years. Setlowe invited Bacon Zinger to attend the workshop after meeting her at an annual summer course at Faccuito’s famed dance studio in New York City. “This workshop was a life-changing experience,” Bacon Zinger said, in a press release. “To share a dance technique that I have embodied since the 1970s, and to share Luigi’s dance wisdom with musicians, actors and playwrights in a retreat-like environment went well beyond my expectations.” Bacon Zinger began dancing ballet at age 8; but four years later was told her ankles were not strong

Somewhat hesitantly, Bacon Zinger took up jazz dance, which she came to enjoy thoroughly. She first learned of Faccuito while pursuing a minor in dance at college in the 1970s. The dancer, choreographer and teacher was at the height of his career at the time. “I liked the fluidity, the grace, the fact that it was based in ballet which I was familiar with,” she said, adding that the ease of Faccuito’s technique on the body was an added benefit which she appreciated all the more as she grew older. The technique, she recalled, was simple to learn yet challenging to master. The “Luigi method” became the world’s first formal jazz technique, according to offjazz.com. The first of the method’s tenets, explained Bacon Zinger, is to “never stop moving.” Faccuito, himself a dancer since childhood, moved from Ohio to Hollywood at age 21. He embodied and developed his signature method after a car wreck left one side of his body paralyzed and his eyes permanently crossed. Though doctors said he would never dance again, Faccuito rehabilitated himself through the art form he so loved. His method, Bacon

Daunne Bacon Zinger with Luigi Faccuito at Studio Maestro in New York City in 2009. Zinger said, is unique in its rehabilitative qualities. It strengthens the body without wearing it down, making it a dance form accessible to every body and ability. Positions like the “locked fourth,” designed to protect dancer’s knees, and the concept of putting “the good side into the bad side,” are distinct Faccuito moves. After regaining his strength — though he was still partially paralyzed for life — he resumed his professional dance career. A talent agent for Gene Kelly discovered him, granting him a gig as a chorus dancer in a film with Kelly.
Faccuito quickly became well-known as a teacher, dancer and choreographer in Hollywood and New York City. Throughout his career he choreographed and danced in dozens of shows and taught numerous celebrities including Goldie Hahn, Ben Vereen, Madonna, Bette Midler, John Travolta, Liza Minelli and Betty White. “Luigi always defined jazz dancing for me,” Travolta once remarked. In addition to Luigi’s title as “the father of American jazz dancing,” he became recognized for his encouraging, patient teaching style and his method’s rehabilita-
tive properties. Students possessing various skill levels and challenges have used the Luigi method to regain agility. “That’s one of the reasons I was enamored with the technique,” said Bacon Zinger. “You can do the exercises whether you’re a stroke victim, whether you’re in a wheelchair, whether you are Barbra Streisand or Liza Minelli or an up-and-coming Broadway performer, or just a normal person who loves to teach dance on Whidbey Island.” Bacon Zinger first taught Luigi’s jazz dance after college, but said she decided to
put her dreams on hold due to financial struggles. She obtained her master’s degree in public administration and became a construction manager before retiring in 2006 and returning to school to pursue her passion. In the summer of 2008, she attended Luigi’s dance workshop in New York City, co-taught by studio director Francis Roach, for the first time. “The workshop changed my life,” said Bacon Zinger. “The fact that I could continue that technique at that time, at my age… and enjoy dance again, was a real revelation.” Bacon Zinger recalled that her “heart was shaking” prior to meeting her idol in person for the first time. “It was like meeting a rock star,” she said with a grin. After introducing herself, she recalled that Faccuito kissed her hand and welcomed her to his studio. Bacon Zinger has attended the workshop every summer since, other than in 2010 when she faced her spinal injury. When she returned in summer 2011, she said, she was thrilled to be able to attend every one of the workshop classes without experiencing pain. Although Faccuito is approaching his 90th birthday, he still attends classes to offer words of encouragement and new choreography. Teaching duties have been taken up by others, primarily Roach. In 2012, Bacon Zinger began teaching Saturday morning classes at Sojourn Studios, where she continues to instruct students in her mentor’s technique and philosophy. “When I can see that they’ve done a movement that brings them joy, I’ve done my mission. That comes from my experience with Luigi. He taught me to be a better teacher.” In addition to her classes, Bacon Zinger has incorporated Luigi’s style into her choreography in shows such as the upcoming Whidbey Playhouse Theater production of “Spamalot.” “I can’t think of too many better feelings than to empower other people to feel the joy of dance,” said Bacon Zinger.

State Auditor’s Office report A total of 11 government bodies in Island County have, for three years in a row, failed to file annual reports as required by law, according to the Washington State Auditor’s Office. Some missed deadlines, some filed incomplete reports and some failed to file altogether.
Public agencies on the list The governments included in the report are Admirals Cove Water District, Crockett Lake Water District, Freeland Water District, Holmes Harbor Sewer District, Island County Cemetery District, Island County Drainage District No. 1, Island County Drainage District No. 5, Island County Emergency Services Communications Center, Juniper Beach Water District, Lagoon Point Water District and Whidbey Island Public Hospital District.
“It’s up to the constituents to hold local government accountable,” he said. According to Hemeon, complying with the law isn’t a simple matter. “A substantial amount of financial data must be manually reformatted and uploaded to the state website,” he wrote. “Attempted uploads are sometimes unsuccessful, adding to the amount of time and resources required to comply with regulations.” “Despite these obstacles, we will continue to work with the state to fulfill our regulatory requirements at all times,” he added.

office provides free, in-person, annual classes to local governments with the goal of helping them file their annual reports. Trainers traveled to all 39 counties in early 2014 to train employees and managers representing more than 600 local governments. In addition, he pointed out that most of the much smaller districts, with very limited resources, manage to meet the requirement. Shapley also said the reports can be simply mailed in, though he said the auditor’s office would greatly prefer the information be entered online. The Auditor’s Office issued a formal finding against the hospital in 2014. Auditors found that the hospital made more than $180,000 in overpayments to employees and employees accrued nearly 23 hours of unearned time off in 2012 and 2013. Auditors found that the hospital had inadequate controls over the payroll system. The overpayments were repaid before the audit report was issued.

James Will will retire from the Clinton post office later this month after 34 years.
Rhode Island and Alaska … I have no interest in going to a cold place.” Being a bit of a traveler makes him well versed in chatting with people about their mail’s delivery address. One person’s package, destined for an area in Seattle, drew Wills’ attention because he recalled getting lost in the neighborhood while coming home
To all our Linds friends & associates, Some positive changes are coming soon and we wanted you to hear directly from your friends at Linds Freeland Pharmacy. At the end of the business day on Friday, January 16th, 2015, Rite Aid will be taking over the prescription, health and beauty aids, cosmetic and several other departments at Linds. Linds will be moving next door to the space between our current pharmacy and Flowers by the Bay. We are currently working with our landlords regarding an expansion of the current space. We are working closely with Rite Aid to make sure there is a seamless transfer of all your prescription information and needs. You can be confident you will be taken care of by the same folks who have been helping you for so many years at Linds. They’ll be wearing new outfits, but the same people will be providing you with the professional care you have learned to expect from Linds Freeland Pharmacy. As we have established our partnership with Rite Aid we have found them to be fair and cooperative. We are sure your relationship with Rite Aid will be equally satisfying. These positive changes will provide you with more options and choices: Prescription service from the pharmacy staff you know and trust utilizing the most current pharmacy technology, more categories of merchandise to choose among from Rite Aid, and the same service and goods you have always enjoyed at Linds. We hope you share our excitement as we venture into this new era. As always, thank you for your loyal patronage and friendship.
Sincerely, The Linds family

from the opera. In Clinton, which no longer has a coffee house, Wills said the post office is one of the area’s last regular meeting places. He described it as a convergence of disparate people with a common goal of getting their mail or sending it out. “I feel that post offices are the people’s place,” he said. “It’s where you meet and talk to each other.” “It’s different from the big city. You know people
here,” he added. On the longevity of his career, and advice for any others seeking to emulate his mainstay in one job for more than three decades, he gave a short response: “Do what you wanna do and get by in life.” Any well-wishers hoping to bid him farewell into retirement can visit him at the post office on Jan. 30, between the regular hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

find the right person for the right organization,” Kingsley said. “We had a very good response to the Whidbey position. So, even though it’s a small entity, I think the location is one people are excited about … and think it would be a great place to live.” The hiring process followed by Kingsley and the hospital is one that Kingsley said she has utilized in past searches for small, public hospitals. “I’m following what she has done with them,” said Tarrant. “And I’ve also spoken with their boards, and I’m following the same process that they went through.” If Whidbey General opts to go with none of the three remaining candidates, it will start the search over again instead of pulling from the same pool of applicants, said Tarrant. She added the selection process would probably take just as long. The remainder of the hiring process includes the meetand-greet luncheons, another round of interviews and a tour of the hospital for each of the candidates. “We’re hoping to have made an offer by the end of the month,” Tarrant said.

Group. The luncheons are Jan. 16, 19 and 22. “It’s all about the right fit,” Kingsley said. “All the three candidates are qualified executives, and I think it’s just a matter of who’s going to be the best fit.” The process of narrowing the field of candidates to three was a long one that started after Kingsley was hired in August. Kingsley said she received between 25 to 40 resumes. She then worked with a search committee from the hospital, consisting of two community members, two board members, including Tarrant, a physician and nurse from Whidbey General as well as a private practice doctor. Kingsley and the committee narrowed the field to nine candidates to present to the board, which conducted background checks on six of those candidates. After that, four were brought for interviews. After that, only three remained in the running. “It’s always a challenge to
