South Whidbey Record, June 20, 2015

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

Shirley’s Kitchen, a longtime food stand located next to the Clinton Ferry Terminal, was destroyed by an unexplained fire late Thursday.

Authorities confirmed the busi-ness was empty at the time, and that no one was injured. The busi-ness was uninsured, however, and the building and all of its contents were a total loss.

“Nothing, it’s all gone,” said owner Shirley Wilson. “30 years… .”

Speaking to The Record in front of the shell of her business,

Wilson struggled to keep from breaking down. It’s a devastating financial loss, as winter is typically slow and she was just readying for the busy summer season. She was expecting this Sunday, Father’s Day, to be her best day of the year and had just purchased $1,200 of supplies — $500 alone in ice cream — this week.

Instead, she spent Friday morning loading up the charred remains of her livelihood on a trailer to take to the county dump.

Wilson is unsure whether she’ll be able to reopen.

“I don’t know, I have no idea,” she said. “There’s no money to do anything at this point.”

The blaze began about 8 p.m. after the place was locked up for the evening. The blaze appears to have started in the back of the building and was reported by mul-tiple sources, according to South

Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Jon Beck.

Two engines and 14 firefighters responded to the blaze. Grease buildup in a roof kitchen vent proved a bit stubborn, but the

whole thing was over in about 15 minutes, he said.

A cause was undetermined, due to the extent of the damage

Negligence a role in inmate’s death, investigation concludesBy JESSIE STENSLAND

South Whidbey Record

“Catastrophic systemic failures” at the Island County Jail led to a 25-year-old man’s death from dehydration April 8, Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said.

An exhaustive investigation by Detective Ed Wallace offers an unblinking look at how negligence and errors by both corrections deputies and jail administration contributed

to Keaton Farris’ tragic death. The report was released Thursday.

Two corrections deputies who falsified logs were placed on administrative leave and have since resigned. Lt. Pam McCarthy was placed on paid administrative leave pending a disci-plinary review.

Chief De Dennis, the jail administrator, was suspended for 30 days without pay and his continued employment is uncertain, Brown said.

Grief, anger, disbeliefFarris’ father, Coupeville postman Fred

Farris, said he is struggling to understand how this could have happened. He is filled with grief, anger and disbelief.

“It’s not OK,” he said. “What happened is unconscionable.”

Fred Farris and his family entrusted the jail employees to care for his son. He is agonizing over his decision not to bail out his son; people

convinced him that the young man would be safer in jail since he was dealing with a mental-health issue.

The family has organized a peaceful protest to be held on Father’s Day — this Sunday — as a way of sending a message to the jail and sheriff’s office.

The goal, Fred Farris said, is to ensure

Clinton dog kills neighbor’s pet, leads to community meetingBy JUSTIN BURNETT

South Whidbey Record

A Clinton woman is fac-ing a misdemeanor criminal charge following a grizzly pit bull attack last weekend that left a neighbor’s dog dead and a community in uproar.

Gina Cooley is scheduled for arraignment in Island

County District Court on Wednesday, June 24 in Oak Harbor. She was cited with one count of failing to abide by the county’s leash law, and faces up to 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine or both, accord-ing to Carol Barnes, Island County’s animal control offi-cer.

“That would be the maxi-mum penalty,” Barnes told

The Record, in a Thursday interview.

“It’s our goal to prosecute this to the fullest extent of the law,” she added.

Also, the animal was prede-termined a “dangerous dog,” a designation outlined in state law that can be assigned for a variety of offenses, one of which is killing another domestic animal. The desig-

nation carries several condi-tions, such as a requirement to be muzzled, the posting of warning signs and insurance to name a few, but it does not mandate euthanasia.

However, Cooley voluntari-ly had the animal destroyed this week. Barnes confirmed the death Friday morning.

In an interview with The Record that same morning,

Cooley expressed her “sin-cerest apologies” to the fam-ily whose dog was killed, saying she was “devastated” over the pain her animal, Bubby, inflicted. She said she loved her dog as well, and despite community pressure, it took time to admit he’d become a danger.

“When you’re really emo-tional, it’s hard to see what

the right thing to do is,” she said. “… I’m very sorry about what happened, and am just trying to move forward at this point.”

The action came just days after Diane Chin, the owner of the dog that was killed by the pit bull, and a host of

Four South Whidbey students were cel-ebrated by the Skagit Valley College’s Honors Reception on June 5.

Rebecca Maher of Freeland and Shelby Lubchuk and Zane Vanderwood of Clinton graduated from the two-year college with high grade-point averages of mostly “A” and “A-” marks. Savannah Odle of Clinton was recognized for her community service.

Maher was nominated for the Yates Award, the

highest student honor for leadership, com-munity service and aca-demic achievement at the Whidbey Island Campus of Skagit College.

Lubchuk and Vanderwood were given the South Whidbey Academic Excellence Award for having the highest grade point averages in the cohort graduating in June. Both students have perfect 4.0 GPAs.

In a news release from Skagit Valley College,

Lubchuk was praised as being “an outstand-ing scholar, a valuable part of every classroom discussion, and a role model for other students.” The recently graduated high school senior was described as holding high standards and expecta-tions for herself, taking on a demanding work load and managing the tasks professionally, in addition to helping other students.

Lubchuk also received the South Whidbey Center Huber Award, given to a graduating student with academic achievement, community involvement, and respect from peers, faculty and staff. She works as a stu-dent representative and events coordinator at the South Whidbey Center in Clinton, organizing events for students. She also worked with Kids First that helps Island County children in foster care for a class project. As part of

the lesson, she recruited a team and developed a plan for accomplishments with lasting benefits. The class team improved Kids First’s social media pres-ence on Facebook, con-tributed to the develop-

ment of the 2015 Survey of Children’s Needs, and promoted possibilities and partnerships for chil-dren’s clothing and shoes.

“She has shared her time, talent, and heart with the college and the community,” the release said.

In her spare time, she trains dogs for obedience and agility and won sev-eral 4-H and AKC compe-titions. She was the 2015 Island County 4-H’er of the Year. Her college plans include majoring in ani-mal science and attending veterinary school.

Vanderwood, perhaps

best known for his danc-ing talent, will graduate with an associate’s degree in arts as well as his high school diploma. He plans to major in econom-ics at the University of Washington.

Odle was presented with the South Whidbey Community Service Award. According to the news release, she spent hours planning, shopping, cooking and decorating for student events. She will graduate with her associate in arts direct transfer degree this month.

Rumors about a future partnership between the Port of Coupeville and Washington State University may turn out to be true.

After being directly ques-tioned by a member of the public, port Commissioner Marshall Bronson confirmed at a meeting last week that he’s been having ongoing conversations about the pos-sibility of WSU coming to the port-owned Greenbank Farm. He also said WSU would like to hold a public meeting about the idea.

Currently, the Greenbank Farm Management Group holds leases at the farm, but a new contract is being reviewed by attorneys and should be approved next month.

Under the new contract, the port will take over leases at the start of the new year. The management group will still serve as property manag-ers and work in collaboration with the port as it assumes more responsibilities at the farm.

Rumblings about the pos-sibility of the university mov-ing to the farm have been a source of anxiety for tenants, who currently have month-to-month leases.

“We’ve been hear-ing the rumors for almost three years now,” said Judy Feldman, executive direc-tor for the Greenbank Farm Management Group. “There are just a lot of questions the port and community needs to address. Any significant shift in tenants has impacts on the remaining tenants.”

Port of Coupeville Commissioner Mike Diamanti said he only learned Bronson was having the conversations about a week before the meeting, but he was happy to hear a public

meeting was being planned.“I’m very enthusiastic

about that,” Diamanti said. “I’ve been lobbying for that for ages. WSU has been very vague about what they want.”

Public knowledge of the idea of having WSU at the farm first appeared last fall when the port was seeking requests for proposals for management of the farm.

At that time, WSU officials expressed interest in a part-nership but said it could not serve as manager of the farm.

David Day, executive direc-tor of the port, confirmed this week that conversations began again in February or March of this year.

He also confirmed there is no proposed plan at this time and everything is just an ongoing conversation, but that both parties have expressed interest in seeing if there’s a possibility there.

“The port is just looking at options and I believe we’d be stupid not to,” Day said. “Do we have a spot at Greenbank Farm for WSU? We don’t have an answer.”

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson serves on an advi-sory board for WSU North Puget Sound in Everett and has been involved in discus-sions about bringing addi-

tional WSU programs to Whidbey Island.

“WSU is interested in reaching out beyond the Everett Campus with the agriculture and Farm to Table Hospitality courses and could be interested in bringing those resources to Whidbey Island,” Price Johnson said. “I felt it impor-tant as a local representative on the advisory council to let folks within our county know of this opportunity. I reached out to the Port of Coupeville, the Island County Economic Development Council, Port of South Whidbey and Goosefoot to consider the possibilities of attracting WSU to Whidbey.”

Price Johnson said it’s still unknown if it’s even feasible to have WSU at the farm and that the university is waiting

to see if the state Legislature is going to fund new degree programs, including degrees in agriculture.

“It would be great if the state Legislature funds these programs,” she said. “I just see wonderful opportunities.”

Price Johnson said to discuss specific plans pub-licly when there are so many working parts still unknown would be premature.

“I know that’s created some anxiety for tenants,” she said. “But they are ten-ants in a public facility and the process will be public. Regardless of the outcome of the Greenbank Farm dis-cussions, having WSU in our backyard is not only great for our residents through provid-ing educational options; it is highly valuable through the collaborative expansion of

economic development activi-ties, technology transfer and creative partnerships.”

The management group currently leases 10 acres at the farm for its Organic Farm School.

Feldman said while she’s not opposed to the idea of WSU coming to the farm, the commissioners need to think about whether or not the farm is equipped to accom-modate a larger organization.

She said there might be five more acres available for agriculture and additional space for hay and livestock. But she said she’s concerned the farm might not be able to supply the needed water and storage.

Day said he could imag-ine a situation where WSU and the Organic Farm School work in collaboration and he could see how WSU could potentially bring students to the school.

He said he sees a lot of pos-sibilities with the university coming to the farm, includ-ing increased opportunities in bringing visitors from off island.

“It could be amazing,” Day said.

Then there’s also the ques-

tion of where at the farm WSU could go.

Price Johnson said every-thing is still unknown, even if WSU needs office space at the farm.

If office space were needed, Diamanti said the only work-able space would be the three gallery spaces in Barn C. The only lease holder that isn’t currently month-to-month is the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, which hold a lease on the second floor of Barn C. That lease ends in April 2016, Feldman said.

While no official plan has been presented, Feldman said she is happy a public meeting is being discussed and hopes it will provide needed information to the tenants and Greenbank Farm community.

“There’s something very special about the farm being publicly owned and run by a nonprofit,” Feldman said. “We think there’s a synergy here and we hope they rec-ognize that.

“This is a special place and it deserves a little bit of respect and a whole lot of care.”

Port, WSU talks raise alarm at Greenbank Farm

Megan Hansen / Whidbey News Group

Greenbank Farm, owned by the Port of Coupeville, may see Washington State University as a new tenant.

Modified burn ban is in effect

A modified burn ban will take effect at 8 a.m. June 23, according to a notice from the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The notice cites atmo-spheric conditions of reduced moisture levels, low humidity and warm weather which may heighten the risk of fire within the county.

No outdoor burning of natural debris will be allowed, even with

a permit. Recreational and cooking fires will be allowed only in approved fire pits lined with con-crete or metal, such as those located at estab-lished campgrounds. Outdoor cooking will also be allowed on a propane barbecue, a barbecue with briquettes or a self-contained camp stove.

The ban will remain in effect until further notice.

Report violations by calling 911.

For more information on outdoor burning, call 360-679-7350 for North Whidbey; 360-321-5111 ext. 7350 for South Whidbey; or 360-

629-4522 ext. 7350 for Camano Island. Contact the Northwest Clean Air Agency at 360-428-1617.

Define area’s role in comp plan

Clinton’s future as determined by the Island County Comprehensive Plan update will be a main topic of discussion at the next Community Council meeting.

The non-elected board of the Clinton Community Council will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, June 22 at the Clinton Community Hall. Its

members have met monthly for more than a year with the goal of cre-ating a unified voice to represent the unincorpo-rated area to the county, state and other agencies that impact its growth and economy.

Defining Clinton stakeholders’ goals and priorities is planned for inclusion in the comp plan update — the guid-ing document for growth and development.

The council has also considered seeking fund-ing for a roundabout at the intersection of Deer Lake Road and Highway 525. Members have argued that it would improve pedestrian safe-ty by slowing ferry traffic that often speeds up the

highway. A Port of South

Whidbey marketing analysis is also in the works, and Commissioner Curt Gordon, who is also a council member, will update its progress.

ArtsWA leaders to visit luncheon

Langley’s next quar-terly economic develop-ment luncheon will fea-ture the communications manager of ArtsWA, the state’s arts commission.

The luncheon is titled “A Day of Focus on the Arts,” and is presented in conjunction with the city’s arts commis-sion. The three-part meeting will last from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Langley United Methodist Church, Third Street and Anthes Avenue.

Glenda Carino, com-

munications manager of ArtsWA, is also the president of United Valley Arts, a nonprofit that manages city-wide sculptures in the Puyallup walking tour. She will give an overview of the Puyallup program with regard to its relation to the Puyallup city govern-ment, operational organi-zation, funding and eco-nomic impact of public art in the city.

ArtsWA Executive Director Karen Hanan will speak about the state’s and Langley’s creative economy, and ArtsWA grants. Hanan’s presenta-tion will be from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Lunch will be from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Attending the lun-cheon is free, but an RSVP is requested. To RSVP, call Langley City Hall at 360-221-4246, ext. 0 to speak with Cheryl Knighton.

SundayJune 21, 2015

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Door-to-door visits, hand-shakes, public forums and a few signs are the campaign pursuits of the three Langley mayoral candidates: Tim Callison, Sharon Emerson and Thomas Gill.

Combined, their campaign budgets likely won’t reach the individual threshold for the Washington Public Disclosure Commission’s reporting minimum of $5,000. No need for big money on billboards or skywriting, they said. Instead, they’re relying on face-to-face introductions and word of mouth to let the less than 1,000 registered voters of Langley know who they are as candidates and what they want to accomplish if elected as the city’s top administrator.

Signs will be the largest public presence of an elec-tion in town, other than word of mouth. Emerson ordered the most with 75 signs, and Callison and Gill each order-ing 50. All three candidates registered on the first day of Island County’s elections fil-ing week, and have been busy with their campaign strate-gies since mid-May.

Callison, a relative new-comer to Langley, was the first to make his announcement as a mayoral candidate. The former business executive registered alongside his wife, Langley City Councilwoman Robin Black.

“I had to get out early because my name wasn’t as well known,” he said in his Second Street home Thursday morning.

At the entry points to town, some of the first political signs people see are the red and black letters of “Tim Callison the Sound Choice for Mayor.” Arching over the text is a whale fluke up high like one of the visiting gray whales as it dives. Callison has only a handful of signs he has yet to place after hosting a cam-paign kickoff party Tuesday afternoon at his home. He originally planned for it to be at Callahan’s Firehouse on Second Street but relocated after concerns were raised about the negotiation process involving the sale of the city-owned building and property.

In all, Callison said he expects to spend no more than $2,500 on the cam-paign, which he said includes any expenses if he were to advance from the Aug. 4 pri-mary election.

While Callison was first to have his signs up, Emerson was first to hit the pavement. The Sixth Street resident

and business owner has been busy walking door-to-door around Langley, to date knocking on a quarter of Langley’s doors and speaking with anyone who has ques-tions about who she is and why she is running for mayor.

“I want people to know what I stand for,” she said.

“People want to look the candidate eye to eye,” she added.

Most of her signs already pepper the town at any home willing to have one, she said. Having not run for an elected office before, Emerson said she did not have any strat-egy as to where she was plac-ing or hoping to place the signs. She was not expecting to come anywhere close to the $5,000 public disclosure finance limit, but she said most of what she’s spent has been self-financed.

Her blue signs with white lettering include the slogan “Looking out for Langley,” complete with a rabbit’s sil-houette standing stout and alert.

That motto has already proven true to some, as Emerson went door to door to inform residents of the city’s public workshop on its marina access improvement projects. Some in town were livid over pamphlets she had printed and distributed that said it was a chance for resi-dents to vote on the funicu-lar/elevator, which was not

City Hall’s intent for the meet-ing. Others were upset that the seemingly informative handbill referred to some of the projects as an “expensive circus attraction.”

All the same, she gained valuable experience in knock-ing on her neighbors’ and fel-low Langley residents’ doors.

“Doing it showed me this really is a small town,” she said.

Gill, who has served on the city council for two years, has yet to put up his signs after only recently ordering them. The delay, he said, is because it took him a while to find a company to make them for the price he wanted. Relying on a campaign finance budget of $1,000 at most, Gill said his contributions are coming from family, business sup-porters, friends and his own pocketbook.

“It took me a long time to find a place I could afford,” Gill said.

Gill’s message and logo

are already published on his website. Featuring a red, white and blue star, it says, “Thomas E. Gill for Langley Mayor” with the slogan “The Experience We Need” underscoring it with his web address, thomas4mayor.com also printed.

Aided by a team of six, including both of his parents, his campaigning will begin in earnest soon enough. Gill said he plans to go door to door to speak with residents, and he’s been happy to chat with anyone who has ques-tions at the grocery store, get-ting coffee or having a meal downtown.

“If you have questions, ask me,” Gill said. “I have no agenda. I don’t own prop-erty in Langley to develop, I don’t have a vested interest in some other entity getting their way. I’m here to work for the people and ensure the city of Langley is the city I grew up with and will be viable for the future.”

To date, all three candi-dates made their first pub-lic appearance together at the June 10 forum hosted by the Langley Chamber of Commerce. Upon invitation, Gill and Callison spoke to some residents during dif-ferent days at the Edgecliff neighborhood coffee meet-ing, and Emerson is sched-uled to attend June 25.

All three candidates cre-ated web pages for their cam-paigns. Emerson and Callison

have been diligent posters of city news and happenings, and both are regular attend-ees of city council meetings. Gill, as a councilman, is also present for council meetings but does not post about gov-ernment goings-on to his site.

One of the last opportuni-ties residents have to hear from all three candidates is a July 9 forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island.

ResponseYou don’t know what you’ve got until it’s goneEditor,

“In the wilderness is the preservation of the World,” — Henry Thoreau.

Any of us who have trav-eled the backcountry of this beautiful and treasured Pacific Northwest know how its spirit touches our soul. That the Navy would take the Olympic Peninsula and parade Growler aircraft overshadowing this beauty is an abomination not to be ignored.

That’s where Joni Mitchell’s words remind us that, “…that you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone,” resonates.

It’s why Sallie Harrison’s current walk of protest, “Walk For The Olympics,” speaks to us. Her walk start-ed last Sunday at the Crocket Barn near Keystone. About 100 supporters and a num-ber of musical groups gath-ered there to dance and cheer Sallie on.

Hooray for any and all of those souls who courageous-ly step out to remind us not to lose the precious peace of our Olympic National Park and Forest to the racket of the Growler.

For more details, Google “Walk For the Olympics.”

Allow me to understand the following: Ken Graska, interim director of Island Transit, has asked the Washington Department of

Transporation (or WSDOT) to conduct an analysis in regard to Island Transit con-tinuing with their current fare-free model. Lawmakers have passed a bill that would provide $1 million to the Everett Connector which would reinstate the route connecting Camano Island with Everett. This offer would require all Island Transit, including Whidbey Island to begin charging bus fares on all routes. This money would not benefit Whidbey Island one iota.

Ken Graska reached out to WSDOT to provide the survey as he did not want to be responsible nor did he want his name attached to this decision. He seemed to be very proud of the fact that he was clever enough to avoid making this decision. I would suggest that Ken Graska begin to look for a new job immediately as he is obviously not the person for this position. A director is hired to make tough deci-sions and to have his name attached to these decisions.

This decision should be made specially based on what is best for Whidbey Island. In order to avoid this decision making, he wel-comed WSDOT to step in and provide the information

to him. Evidently, he has not heard about WSDOT’s success at building the new Highway 520 bridge or the Seattle Tunnel Project. He should begin looking for a job that does not involve decision-making rather than depending on an incompe-tent state agency such as WSDOT for resolution. There are plenty of compe-tent people who could easily fill his position.

The thought of WSDOT influencing what is best for Whidbey Island is incompre-hensible. Island Transit has had more than their share of problems. Believe me, Island Transit does not need to be involved in WSDOT which I am sure would only add to this long list of prob-lems.

ThanksTransit’s service of mobility-impaired is admirableEditor,

Paratransit deserves a gold medal for their out-standing service. They are to be commended in that they serve 250 to 300 people

per day, aiding the elderly and disabled to live a more independent life style.

Drivers are always help-ful, considerate and caring. They deal daily with elderly people, wheelchair patients, dialysis patients and dis-abled people. Securing them in their various seats and showing respect for them and their needs.

They will get you wher-ever you wish to go on the island. Picking you up from your doorstep and back home again with no worries about being forgotten or left behind.

Many of the employees are up and on the job by 3:30 a.m. in the dark of the night when the rest of us are sleeping to make this available.

Those who are living on a fixed income appreciate the fact that this is a fare-free service — one of the only such operations in the State of Washington.

There are a few people who will complain about anything. If you have any complaints about this ser-vice you may need to see your doctor and paratransit will get you there on time and back home to boot!

Jail tragedy must not go unanswered

Editorial

Keaton Farris should not have died.At age 25, he should be hanging out with his friends on Lopez

Island or in Coupeville. He should be teasing his sisters or travel-ing the world. Keaton and his family deserve answers — and justice.

Those who are responsible for the young man’s death must be held accountable, whether that means losing their jobs or facing criminal prosecution. And all of us must care enough about this tragedy to demand that problems inside the Island County Jail that led to his horrifying death are corrected.

If Keaton were your son, brother or friend, wouldn’t you expect that?

Island County Sheriff’s Office Detective Ed Wallace’s no-holds-barred report on the series of unfathomable errors that led to Keaton Farris’ death is damning. He died from dehydration and malnutrition under the watch of jailers, government employees entrusted to watch over people who are powerless.

Keaton’s death indicates that members of a sheriff’s administra-tion either turned blind eyes or were so uninvolved in their jobs that such negligence could go unnoticed to the point of becoming fatal. It points to a system that is severely broken.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown claimed ultimate responsi-bility for the errors that occurred in the jail, as he should. Brown, who said he feels personally responsible, broke the news of Keaton Farris’ death to his father, Fred Farris, and he promised that the case will be investigated as if it were his own son had died.

The sheriff says he’s on a mission to rectify the problems at the jail. Is it too little, too late? That’s a question that remains to be answered. Whether Brown is the right person to lead this mission to fix the jail will be determined in the coming days, but so far he’s taken all the right steps.

Brown said he’s committed to being as transparent as pos-sible about what happened and what changes he’ll make going forward. He must hold to that promise regardless of the outcome.

Brown and Undersheriff Kelly Mauck made immediate chang-es at the jail that Brown said will ensure inmate safety in the wake of the tragedy. He said he plans to bring an expert in jail adminis-tration to do a comprehensive review of the facility.

Two corrections deputies who falsified logs were placed on administrative leave the day after Farris’ death; they have since resigned. Brown also placed the lieutenant overseeing the jail on administrative leave while a disciplinary process moves forward. Jail Chief De Dennis was suspended for a month without pay, but Brown said he plans to bring him back to work with the jail expert. Dennis’ employment will depend on what the expert has to say.

Of course, there are much larger issues at play. It’s no secret that the state hasn’t funded the mental health system adequately for decades. It’s well documented that jails simply aren’t the right place to house people with mental health problems.

Unfortunately, it may take this tragedy to open people’s eyes and drive the necessary changes that are clearly needed. The time for reforms is here and now.

WAIF raises more than $120,000 for animals

Whidbey Animal Improvement Foundation’s 12th annual Spring Fling Gala Auction and Gourmet Dinner raised a record breaking $120,000 in net proceeds, the organization has announced.

The event was held Saturday, May 30 before a sold-out crowd of animal supporters.

The unprecedented demon-stration of community support will help the homeless pet popu-lation that arrive at foundation shelters and facilities for the

coming year. Organization lead-ers expressed appreciation to sponsors who helped underwrite the event, individuals and busi-nesses who donated items for the auction, and to attendees who “enthusiastically raised their bid cards to support programs and services for Whidbey Island’s homeless pets.”

“This year’s Spring Fling is especially meaningful as WAIF not only enters its 25th year of service, but it is also very much needed as we move into our new shelter later this year,” said Executive Director Charles Vreeland, in a Monday news

release. “The tremendous sup-port we received this year tells us that people are more pas-sionate than ever about animals and excited about WAIF’s future and commitment to helping the homeless pet population and the families who seek our services.”

Bob Rupp, board president, returned as the evening’s emcee. He worked alongside Stokes Auction Group Auctioneer Paul Schenfeld. As a team, they led the way to a record breaking evening.

The event was organized by volunteer Spring Fling Event co-chairs Dawn Ritter and Merritt

Atwood and the event commit-tee. Each year, WAIF is indebted to them for their support and

desire to help the lost and stray pet population of Whidbey Island, the release said.

By JUDY FELDMAN

The Port of Coupeville, Island County, and Washington State University

(or WSU) say they are mere-ly tossing around ideas… have made no decisions… aren’t looking at anything in particular.

The challenge for the ten-ants of Greenbank Farm is that they are currently on month-to-month leases. While they are in no danger of losing these leases in 2015, everything changes on Jan. 1, 2016. At this point in time, no one, not even the Greenbank Farm Management Group, has any assurance of continu-ing on — at least not yet. For tenants who have persisted throughout one of the tough-est economic challenges of my lifetime, who have poured their heart and soul and financial resources into cre-ating a livelihood with their

locally-owned, small business peers here, well, that is a ter-rifying situation to be in.

When they hear that WSU will have offices at the farm within a year, tenants look around and wonder which of them will be asked to leave. Will it be one tenant? Two? All of them? If only one or two, which ones? Will those left standing be able to recre-ate the synergy they worked so hard for, that made the challenging location of the farm work for their bottom line? Or will the reorganiza-tion set them on a path of business failure?

The management group is wondering just what it is we will be tasked to man-age. We have been living with some degree of uncer-

tainty around our contract since 2012. Last October, we thought that uncertainty had abated and that we would be able to more fully act on the momentum we have been building. Yet, starting in February, negotiations with the port have drawn out far longer than anyone expected. And while we are close to a final agreement, we are not there yet.

The port owns the farm. We understand that. We also understand that we are a non-profit organization. While port funding is important to the farm, our ability to manage the site in the future and create engaging, attrac-tive, educational and cultural activities for residents and tourists relies on much more

than that funding. In order for the port to respond to its financial needs, the farm will receive less port fund-ing in 2016 and beyond than it has received in the past 10 years. We believe that we can respond to those conces-sions with increased commu-nity programming, appeals to volunteers, outreach and organizational changes. But our confidence in that can be easily shaken if we don’t know who the tenants are going to be, and if our non-profit purpose and goals will be minimized or hampered by activities of new tenants.

Like the port, the county, and WSU, the management group and tenants are look-ing for opportunities to make the farm more sustainable

and stable. Everyone would like to see if something good can come of all this.

The rumors, misunder-standings, confusion, hard feelings, reactions expressed by leaders and community this week remind us that we are all interconnected. We need to communicate with each other. We need to share information. Let’s hope for an outcome that is based on mutual respect and a realistic look at not only what is pos-sible for the agencies in play but what is good and right and ethical for the commu-nity they serve.

Feldman is executive direc-tor of the Greenbank Farm

Management Group.

Community, farm leadership face a pivotal moment

WAIF auction guests raise their bid numbers at the May 30 event.


Strong batting and solid defense landed a trio of South Whidbey baseball players on the all-Cascade Conference first and second teams this season.

Voted on by the league’s coaches, senior to-be Ricky Muzzy and just-graduated sluggers Brent Piehler and Mo Hamsa represented the Falcons on the honorary lists. Muzzy was the lone Falcon on the first team, and was one of four players con-sidered for the league’s most valuable player, which went to Cedarcrest’s hurler Adam Davenport.

The Falcons finished as the runners up in the state 1A tournament, los-ing to Hoquiam 6-4 in the championship game. South Whidbey had a turnaround season marked by a rocky start against the league’s 2A schools before jumping up the conference standings after winning each series against the three fellow 1A teams. Once South Whidbey (8-9 conference, 15-13 over-all) reached the postseason, the Falcons went on a tear, losing only two playoff games — one in the bi-district tournament and the state championship.

A big part of that was the team shoring up its defense and gelling on offense, and no one player had a more important role in South Whidbey’s run production than Muzzy.

Piling on runs was not part of South Whidbey’s game. Only once did South Whidbey score double digits, and it was in a one-run loss

to Archbishop Murphy. The Falcons averaged 3.9 runs in league games and 4.2 overall, which puts their overall runs scored average in sixth place in the eight-team league.

“I’ve seen the model where you put your fastest guy on base and he’s prob-ably going to score,” said Falcon head coach Tom Fallon.

“That model worked for us in the playoffs,” he added. “If we took an early lead, we were tough.”

Knowing that offense was going to be a game of small ball and opportunity, Fallon seized his in Muzzy. The Falcon junior played short-

stop and pitcher, mostly as a closer, and hit in the leadoff spot for South Whidbey.

In the first game of the year, Muzzy was the third batter, a spot that utilized his ability to knock the ball deep. After that opening game, Fallon moved Muzzy to the leadoff to take advantage of his blazing base-running speed.

It worked wonders. “He’s, on the bases, about

as good as I’ve ever seen,” Fallon said.

“I’ve coached a lot of fast guys, but it’s more than the clock,” he added. “It’s getting that jump, reading the pitch-er, taking a great lead and

never getting picked off.” Speed served Muzzy

well as South Whidbey’s shortstop. He covered a lot of ground to make the play, roaming into the outfield for fly balls, chasing after gap hits and running in on soft-hit grounders.

“He charges the ball so hard and so well, he makes so many hard, very difficult plays, look relatively easy,” Fallon said.

Piehler was South Whidbey’s last line of defense. As the catcher, he was responsible for fram-ing the pitch, organizing the defense for a handful of plays and keeping runners in

check. Fallon couldn’t recall more than a couple, if that, of bases that were legitimately stolen, not on wild pitches, on Piehler.

“Nobody runs on him. They know better,” Fallon said. “He just throws guys out. It makes a huge differ-ence in holding teams in check.”

“I think Brent was the best defensive catcher in the league,” Fallon added. “His batting average definitely affected that decision. He struggled a little bit at the plate this year.”

Piehler was South Whidbey’s cleanup hitter in the fourth spot. Relying on a

smooth swing with plenty of power, it was often Piehler’s duty to drive in runs. He may not have been as splash as his 2014 campaign, but was effective enough to hold onto the spot all season.

Continuing a string of all-conference-worthy catch-ers, Piehler followed in the kneepads of Danny Parra, David Woodbury and Aaron Curfman.

Hamsa largely played first base and pitcher. Late in the season, Hamsa’s towering presence on the mound became the go-to starter.

“Halfway through the year he became the number one guy on the mound,” Fallon said. “He chewed up so many innings for us.”

Early on, Hamsa along with most of the Falcon pitchers, struggled with location and gave up a lot of walks. Fallon said he finished the regular season with a 4-4 record, and most of the losses came early in the year against the 2A powerhouses.

“It’s kind of unfortunate for the 1A kids,” Fallon said of the win-loss record consid-eration in the all-conference voting. “Your stats aren’t going to be as clean as these 2A schools … we’re playing up whereas they’re playing down.”

Hamsa, who was an all-conference football receiver this school year, utilized his size at first base as well. Few throws escaped his reach; high, low, right, left, it didn’t matter.

“Pretty much everything that’s thrown over there, he’s got the wingspan to catch,” Fallon said.

Marjorie Joan Bergman

Marjorie Joan Bergman passed away suddenly on June 13 due to a severe stroke.

She never went by her given name of Marjorie and preferred to be called Joan. Joan was born July 21, 1932 to Velma and Cameron MacKay in New Glasgow Nova Scotia, Canada. She moved to Vancouver B.C. in 1950 and met her husband Wilson (Scotty). They were married in 1952.

Joan and Scotty raised their children Bill and Laurie in Canada until they migrated south to Seattle in 1963. Both

Joan and Scotty were very involved in Little League base-ball for many years in Seattle and enjoyed dancing and other community activities.

Joan was widowed sudden-ly in 1972.

She remarried in 1976 to Dave Bergman and moved to Whidbey Island. Here they bought and operated Cozy Corner Tavern and later opened and operated the Bush Point Boat Ramp.

After Dave passed away in 1982 Joan raised his two chil-dren Barbara and LeeAnn.

She waitressed at Peppers and the Clover Patch Cafe before she went on to co-own and operate Buzz’s Wharf at Bush Point and later got her Realtors License and worked for Tara Coldwell Banker.

Joan moved to the Maple Ridge Condos in 2007 and absolutely loved her new home and neighbors. Joan was very active in the com-munity and was president of

the Eagles Woman’s Auxiliary and served on the board at the American Legion. She donated many hours to the blood bank, sold tickets at the Island County Fair, and donat-ed annually to the American Heart Society, Good Cheer and the July 3 fireworks in Freeland. Joan loved to gar-den, meet friends for lunch and read books. She will be missed by her children Bill Reid and Laurie Gabelein (Ray); step-daughters LeeAnn(David) and Barb Muzzy (Rick); her grand-children Linnea Weidemen (Mike), Brian Gabelein (Tierra), Tim Gabelein (Brianne), Becky Kathan (Dallas), Kali and Ricky; and her great grandchildren Alex, Mikayla, and baby Wilson.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., June 27, at Trinity Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers we request donations be made to Good Cheer Food Bank.

The 21st Celebrate America is just around the cor-ner and organizers are looking for community sup-port to help throw Freeland’s biggest annual event.

Bouncy toys for kids have been reserved, the barge is set, food vendors are ready to serve but fireworks are only partially paid for. Financial support is still needed to cover the $35,000 event budget, organiz-ers announced in a recent news release.

“Individuals, we really need your help,” said Matt Chambers, pastor of South Whidbey Assembly church.

Celebrate America is held every year on July 3 at Freeland Park. South Whidbey Assembly organizes the event but relies on community financial support. The church is looking for an event sponsor, or indi-viduals, organizations and businesses willing to pitch in money to pay the bills.

“The event only happens because hundreds of people give small and large amounts to support the event,” Chambers said.

To make a donation call the church at 360-221-1656; mail checks to Celebrate America, PO Box 1449, Langley, WA 98260; or visit www.swag-online.org.

Along with food and bouncy toys, this year’s event will host an entertainment line up that includes: Island Dance, The Kelly Chambers Band, Magician Jeff Evans, Total Experience Gospel Choir, Maggies Fury and Soloist Sean King.

Fireworks begin around 10:30 p.m.

Andre Hendricks


Having spent most of her life writing other people’s stories, Margaret Bendet is finally seeing her own story published.

What a story it is. The 70-year-old Langley

woman tells the tales of her life centered around a 40-year journey of Eastern meditation after leaving her husband and a career in newspaper feature writing to follow an Indian holy man.

Those tales are the center-piece of the 229-page memoir, “Learn to Eat Along the Way,” published by She Writes Press and out in stores Aug. 11.

Finding her life an outpour-ing of energy — in her mar-riage and at work — with little input, Bendet was drawn to the holy man and meditation. It exposed more psyche dam-age than it repaired initially, Bendet said inside her one-bedroom Langley home. A features reporter and editor of a daily newspaper in Honolulu at the time, Bendet met with the holy man for a story and was forever changed. She recalled the newspaper’s political cartoonist drawing her with bags packed and a halo above her head, heading off into Nirvana.

“Of course, that’s not what happened,” Bendet said.

She never names the holy man, who eventually died and transferred to a female suc-cessor, or the specific spiritual

path in her memoir. It was no mistake. Bendet omitted both particulars to keep the focus on her journey, one she said she is still taking.

“I didn’t write the book to bring people to my teacher,” she said. “The things I received, the benefits I received are not unique to this path.”

Those who know her casually may be surprised to learn of her devout practice of

meditation, she said. Her hope is that readers

see how meditation as a spiritual practice, one she engages in at least twice a day — morning and just before bed — helped her expose deep-buried inner problems and how it helped her con-front and accept them.

“It wasn’t like I was enlight-ened,” Bendet said through a beaming smile. “I still have issues, I’m still working on

them.” Chief among the problems,

and a major plot point of her memoir and watershed moment of her life, were eat-ing disorders and problems with “deep” infatuation.

“The anorexia is not a story I ever told,” she said. “Infatuation was not some-thing I shared in meditation class.”

With the help of medita-tion, the support of friends and her fellow ashram (a type of religious retreat most often associated with Hinduism) students and a psychologist, Bendet has long been free from anorexia and bulimia. She said the tendency to not take care of herself will always remain, but she has learned to love and properly nourish herself in ways both physical and spiritual.

In the book’s epilogue, Bendet ponders the desire to be free from the afflictions that arose during her three-

decade stay in ashrams from India to the East Coast and California.

These days, she takes great pleasure in hosting din-ner parties and eating. Outside her home, she keeps a small herb garden with rosemary, sage, marjoram, a few heads of lettuce and dill.

Infatuation is long gone, she writes, though it was perhaps replaced by being infatuated with everyone, as she’s always amazed by the people she meets. Largely, her companion is her mini poodle Chou Chou (a French idiom akin to sweetie), who sat snoozing next to her on the couch during her inter-view with The Record.

In addition to being an author, she’s also an editor and a teacher. She instructs memoir writing at senior cen-ters and, like a proud parent,

keeps several published memoirs of former students and published books she edited on a shelf in her home.

Now, she’s prepared to continue telling her stories. She is working on another book about her

family titled “The Last of the Dunsmores,” after she spoke with her niece who had ques-tions about their ancestry.

She stays busy, but cen-tered around meditation with an informal group on Whidbey Island and at a cen-ter in Seattle. The practice, she said, can take different forms for different people. Running, cooking, writing, playing sports and fishing are all activities that help some-one calm down, focus and reflect.

“It’s a question of doing the thing you need to do to quiet the mind,” she said. “I contend that people meditate, they just don’t call it that.”

neighbors banded together and began petitioning for the animal’s removal from the neighborhood. They

believed the dog was a threat to public safety, particularly to children.

But they don’t plan to stop there. Now that the animal is gone, they plan to lobby county decision makers to stiffen existing laws concern-ing dangerous dogs by add-

ing euthanasia requirements — currently, an animal could bite a human being in Island County and still be subject only to the above mentioned conditions.

Chin called the attack the “most horrendous” experi-ence of her life, but said the county’s lack of accountabil-ity for such animals is incom-prehensible.

“This could have been a child… I just don’t under-stand,” Chin said.

The attackThe incident happened at

about 8 p.m. Saturday, June 13 at Chin’s home near Deer Lake. She had just exited her house with her two Bichons, Bruiser and Tug, when Cooley’s dog appeared. She was only four feet from her door at the time, she said.

Though she grabbed both her dogs by their collars and attempted to back away, Bubby grabbed Tug and pulled him from her grasp, leaving her with just his col-lar. Chin then watched in hor-ror as the larger dog mauled and killed her 11-year-old pet in her driveway.

Chin began screaming for help but her cries grew even more frantic as the attack ended. The pit bull had begun to trot away with the dead bichon still in its jaws.

“I was so scared we wouldn’t even get to bury our dog,” Chin recalled.

Four neighbors heard her frantic cries, and together

they worked in vain to get the animal to release the Bichon, doing everything from attempting to pry its jaws apart to poking its eyes with their fingers, said Christine Lyons, one of the four responders.

“I was doing anything and everything I could to get him to release the dog,” she said.

In the end, it took one of the neighbors hitting the dog on the head with a shovel for it to let go. Two of them then held it down until the owner’s boyfriend arrived and secured him.

No people were injured in the incident, and Bubby didn’t attempt to bite anyone, but Barnes said the attack was still one of the worst she’s investigated during her more than 30 years as an animal control officer.

“It was horrific,” said Barnes, of the scene. “There was blood everywhere.”

She called it a “vicious” attack and said this week she believes the animal repre-sents a legitimate threat to public safety and would go as far as the law allows to protect the public.

“I want to make sure this never happens again,” Barnes said.

Extent of the lawThe incident has made

clear, however, limitations of existing law. While Bubby was immediately taken by authorities, he was returned to Cooley a couple days later.

Barnes said county code doesn’t allow her to keep a dangerous animal nor does it contain provisions that empower her to order eutha-nasia.

“When a dog kills another dog, what can be done has been done,” Barnes said.

Residents of the Deer Lake neighborhood were outraged to hear the dog would not be destroyed, and that it was back in the community. Further inflaming tensions was a Craigslist ad posted by one of Cooley’s children that sought to find Bubby a new home.

“We have a very sweet, loving boy who is in desper-ate need of saving,” the ad said. “Two days ago he unfor-tunately got a hold of the neighbors small toy poodle as they were walking the neighborhood off leash (and our dog Bubby had run out our unintentionally left open door),” the ad said.

It went on to highlight some of the conditions of the “dangerous dog” designa-tion, saying that while Cooley loves him she can’t afford the new requirements. It also mentioned that he’d lived safely with other family pets and loves to “snuggle,” but can be wary of strangers and unfamiliar children.

“I am praying to find some-one willing to take this guy in as soon as possible,” the ad said. “He does not deserve to die.”

Cooley said later, “I didn’t see him as a vicious monster,

I saw him wrapped up in a baby blanket on my bed.”

Barnes confirmed the ad contained inaccuracies, that the attack did occur on Chin’s property. She also confirmed police had responded to calls about the animal in the past, and that, “Cooley was well aware of the leash law.”

An impromptu community meeting was held Tuesday evening that was attended by an estimated 25 people. Residents talked about the incident, and many were afraid to go outside. Some had even taken to arming themselves.

“We’re all very scared to walk in the neighborhood,” Lyons said.

“I was walking with mace and a huge flashlight.”

There was also reportedly widespread agreement that the county code needs revi-sion. Specifically, they plan to petition the commissioners for reform that would allow euthanasia options for dan-gerous dogs.

Chin said the experience has changed her life. She’s had trouble sleeping and now feels unsafe leaving her home. Things need to change, and she plans to see it through, she said.

“This will not be swept under the rug,” Chin said. “This isn’t over, by a long shot.”

inside, but its origin was confirmed in the back of the building near kitchen machin-ery. Beck estimated damages at $75,000 for the contents and $45,000 for the building. Along with the extra food supplies, Wilson had a brand new computer inside that was destroyed and had just topped off her pro-pane tanks.

A favorite of ferry commuters and a fixture in Clinton for about three decades, Shirley’s Kitchen was a recognizable busi-ness and its destruction is a stinging loss for both Clinton and the greater South Whidbey area, said Bob Craven, president of the Clinton Chamber.

“She’s been part of the community a long time, certainly a missed business on the South End if she doesn’t reopen,” he said.

The business was known for being a place for teenagers to get their first job. Even some of the firefighters who worked

to extinguish the blaze were counted among them.

“Me and my sister both worked there,” said Heidi Beck, Jon Beck’s wife.

Wilson said it was fun providing that experience for young people, while making a living too.

“It was a fun place to work,” she said.Anyone who wants to help out with finan-

cial donations can do so at Whidbey Island Bank. Go to any branch and ask to contrib-ute to the fund, which is under Shirley’s Kitchen and Shirley Wilson.

Aside from simply needing the help, Craven said Wilson’s great contributions over the years, both to the Clinton busi-ness community and young people, make her particularly deserving of any financial assistance people can spare.

“I think this is one of those things where the Clinton community can come through and really shine, helping out one of its own,” he said.

that such a needless tragedy never happens again.

He asked that people gath-er in the Community Greens near the library at 10 a.m. Then, everyone will march through town. He said people should wear a black T-shirt.

The organizers will be handing out water bottles and selling T-shirts dedicated to Keaton Farris.

Falsified logsIsland County Coroner

Robert Bishop reported that Farris died from dehydration, but malnutrition was a con-tributing factor.

Farris was suffering from mental health issues and had been both combative and non-responsive with jail staff in three different counties, Wallace’s report indicates.

Wallace 51-page report out-lines a complicated series of missteps. The water to Farris’ cell in the Island County Jail was turned off for days because he put a pillow in the toilet at one point and later flooded his cell. He was given water during his meals but it was only a fraction of what was necessary to survive.

The staff did not check on him as often as protocol dic-tated. The logs didn’t include necessary information and observations.

Medical staff wasn’t called to examine Farris until the day before he died and the nurse didn’t relate any con-cerns to jail staff.

“Once the nurse was noti-fied she failed to do a proper evaluation of his condition even after Farris advised her that he was not doing well,” Wallace wrote.

The detective figured out that Corrections Deputies Mark Moffitt and David Lind had falsified their logs by comparing the entries to sur-veillance video.

At this point, it’s unclear whether anyone may face criminal charges. Brown said Wallace’s report has been sent to the Island County Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutor Greg Banks said

he will review it carefully.

Accepting faultThe sheriff said he doesn’t

excuse himself from blame. He said he failed in his super-visory role over the jail.

Brown said he immedi-ately implemented changes at the 58-bed jail to ensure inmate safety and is plan-ning on bringing in an expert in jail administration to do a comprehensive analysis of the facility, especially those confined to “safety cells.”

“I want to know why the problems were so glaring and why I didn’t see them,” he said.

Brown breaks into tears when he talks about the death of the young man who once played high school foot-ball and was a track star in Coupeville, the town where the sheriff’s office resides.

The sheriff said he brought Farris’ father into his office soon after the tragedy and had one of the most difficult conversations of his life.

“I promised him I would investigate this as if he were my own son,” he said, strug-gling with his emotions.

Brown said his mission is to find the truth, disseminate it to the public, repair the problems and — hopefully — regain the public trust while offering closure to Farris’ family. He said he doesn’t know if the family will sue and such an eventuality isn’t guiding his actions.

Brown conceded that larg-er issues are at play in the death, particularly how jails are ill equipped to deal with people with mental health issues. At this point, however, Brown said he’s focusing on the problems at his jail and what he can do to fix them.

Sgt. Chris Garden, a veter-an member of the department with training in emergency medicine, has taken over as interim jail administrator. He will be working closely with Undersheriff Kelly Mauck.

Missing from Wallace’s report, Fred Farris said, is the family’s interaction with the jail. He said he and other family members went to the jail just about every day to see Keaton Farris, but were turned away.

The reasons cited were unclear, conflicting and some-times simply false, he said.

He said family members would have noticed some-thing was wrong and gotten him help; he said his son lost more than 20 pounds during his short time in jail.

“It wouldn’t have happened if we were able to see him,” he said.

“That’s the whole thing.”

Needed reviewBrown said that the jail pol-

icy doesn’t allow visitations when an inmate is in crisis or at risk. He said such individu-als can’t be moved to visitation rooms and visitors aren’t sup-posed to be brought to cells. In fact, he said, McCarthy violated the policy when she allowed Keaton Farris’ aunt to visit his cell early in his incarceration.

Brown said he’s interested in looking at policies at other facilities. He said it might make sense to allow visitors to visit cer-tain inmates at their cells, especially if it would calm them.

F r e d Farris said his son had a happy, nor-mal childhood growing up on both Lopez Island and Central Whidbey. He was a goofy kid who adored his sisters.

“He was someone who wanted everyone to like him,” his father said.

“He went out of his way to be fun, silly.”

Keaton Farris was diag-nosed with bipolar disorder two years ago after experienc-ing a sudden onset of symp-toms, his dad said.

It was difficult to deal with, Fred Farris said, but he was convinced his son would fig-ure it out and live a happy life.

He noted that Keaton Farris had never been in a jail before this incident and had no criminal record.

Medical issuesRecords from San Juan

County Superior Court show that prosecutors charged Farris, a Lopez Island resi-dent, with second-degree identity theft on March 2 after a man reported that a check was stolen, forged and cashed at a bank. A $10,000 warrant was issued for Farris’ arrest.

Lynnwood police picked him up on the warrant March 20. Officers responded to a report of a suspicious man at a bank. Farris told an officer that he was “off his meds” and that he was projecting his thoughts at people inside the bank, Wallace wrote.

Records from the Lynwood jail indicate that he had pre-scription Lorazepam when he arrived. Under a coop-erative agreement between jails, he was transferred to Snohomish County jail, where staff members indi-cated in paperwork that he was “gravely disabled,” was presenting symptoms of psy-chosis and needed a mental health evaluation before leav-ing the jail.

A “medical slip” of paper

indicated that he tested posi-tive for amphetamines, THC and Lorazepam and possibly suffered from bipolar disor-der, Wallace wrote.

Farris was transferred to Skagit County on March 24. He was originally supposed to be transferred the day before, but he apparently resisted and was Tasered in Snohomish County.

In Skagit County, he was non-communicative and resisted jailers; he was placed in restraints. A Skagit official warned the Island County jail lieutenant that two correc-

tions depu-ties would be needed to trans-port Farris because of his unpre-d i c t a b l e behavior.

That mes-sage wasn’t passed down, and a lone Island County corrections deputy arrived, but wasn’t able to transport Farris. The San Juan Sheriff’s Office finally transported Farris to Island County on March 26. The Island County Jail holds inmates from San Juan County under an inter-agency contract.

Farris arrived at Island County Jail without his medi-cation or any of the medical and mental-health informa-tion that the other jails col-lected. Brown said he doesn’t yet know what happened, but he hopes to work with the other agencies in the future to ensure such information is shared.

On March 27, Farris grabbed a corrections deputy by the hand and tried to pull him through the “feed slot” when the deputy was trying to give him water, the report stated.

Farris was initially placed in a blue-padded safety cell but was moved to a single-person cell March 30. His cell was designated as a “safety cell,” which means height-ened monitoring is required.

No waterOn March 30, water to

Farris’ cell was turned off after he placed his pillow in the toilet and was “playing in the water in his sink,” Wallace wrote. It was turned off again when he flooded his cell on April 4.

In his investigation, Wallace estimated that Farris’ consumption of water and other fluids during his time at the jail was about 185 ounces based on the amount of liquid in the Dixie cups the jail uses.

Under National Institute of Health guidelines, Farris’ intake should have been 1,563 ounces. FEMA guidelines state that 791 ounces would

be necessary for survival in an emergency situation.

“The number could be lower since we cannot con-firm that he consumed all the water/fluids provided,” Wallace wrote. “It could be higher as well since there were windows of opportunity where he would have been able to provide himself water.”

Farris’ inmate book states that he was supposed to be observed each hour, but the log showed long stretches of time in which nobody checked on him. The last time that a corrections deputy confirmed he was alive was at 5:30 p.m. April 7. A deputy tapped on his door at 8:30 p.m., but Wallace wrote that it was likely he was dead at that time because of the lack of response and based on the estimated time of death deter-mined by the coroner.

Corrections deputies dis-covered Farris was dead at 12:30 a.m. on April 8.

Shirking proceduresIn his report, Wallace

describes confusion among the jail staff regarding poli-cies and procedures. The jail administration was in the pro-cess of instituting the Lexipol manual concerning jail poli-cies. The part of the manual regarding safety cells was implemented, Brown said, but staff didn’t receive train-ing and information wasn’t adequately disseminated or explained.

Wallace details a series of instances in which the correc-tions deputies failed to follow the “safety cell procedures.”

Wallace wrote that Farris wasn’t offered fluids hourly, as required. A safety cell log wasn’t started immedi-ately and was incomplete. Supervisors didn’t inspect the logs as required. The safety checks were not sufficient to assess the inmate’s well-being.

The policy requires that his medical and mental health status be assessed within 12 hours, but he wasn’t evalu-ated until his 11th day in cus-tody.

Wallace also described con-fusion among jail staff about McCarthy’s alleged direc-tive that the door to Farris’ cell should not be opened because of his combative his-tory.

During his time in the cell, a corrections deputy observed Farris lying on his bunk with a piece of cloth in his mouth. He was con-cerned about the possibility of him choking and alerted McCarthy, who told him to leave Farris alone because of the possibility that he would assault a deputy.

The Sheriff’s Office con-tracts with Island County

Public Health to provide a nurse at the jail four days a week.

The nurse was asked to see Farris on the day before he died. But she only interacted with Farris for two minutes and didn’t have a “hands on encounter,” but instead talked to him through the small slot in the door.

According to Wallace’s report, Farris told her he needed a medical profession-al and that he was “not good.” Nevertheless, she didn’t alert the staff to any concerns.

Blood on their handsThe nurse who visited

Farris told Wallace that she didn’t think she had enough time to properly evaluate him, but apparently didn’t convey that concern to the staff. She said she did not ask for the cell door to be opened because “she had heard the staff talking about him being violent, disruptive and unco-operative,” Wallace wrote.

In addition, a psychologist from Western State Hospital evaluated Farris for compe-tency to stand trial and he also didn’t convey any con-cerns about the young man’s health to the jail staff.

San Juan County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord said Farris was originally sup-posed to be transferred to Western State for the evalu-ation, but it was delayed because of the lack of “beds” at the facility, which is a well-documented problem in the state. As a result, the psychol-ogist tried to examine him at the jail.

Wallace’s report indi-cates that the psychologist attempted to interview Farris through the feeding slot on the closed cell door. Farris was lying naked on the cell floor and talking to himself continually.

His report, issued after Farris’ death, found that the young man was not compe-tent to stand trial.

Fred Farris said there’s plenty of blame to go around. He said officials in San Juan County also have “blood on their hands” because they were ultimately responsible for his son’s well-being while in custody.

He questions why neither the nurse nor the psycholo-gist did more to help his son. He wants to know what hap-pened to his son’s medicine and medical history as he was transferred from jail to jail.

Mostly, however, Fred Farris said he wants to know what the sheriff is going to do to fix the unbelievably long list of problems at the Island County jail.
