Negligence a role in inmate’s death, investigation concludes By 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 disciplinary review. Chief De Dennis, the jail administrator, was suspended for 30 days without pay and his continued employment is uncertain, Brown said.
Grief, anger, disbelief Farris’ 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 mentalhealth 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 SEE INMATE, A20

Shirley’s Kitchen claimed by fire
By JUSTIN BURNETT South 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 business was empty at the time, and that no one was injured. The business 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.”

South Whidbey Fire/EMS firefighters work to extinguish a fire that claim Shirley’s Kitchen in Clinton. 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 multiple 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 SEE SHIRLEY’S, A12
Clinton dog kills neighbor’s pet, leads to community meeting By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record A Clinton woman is facing 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, according to Carol Barnes, Island County’s animal control officer. “That would be the maximum 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 predetermined 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 conditions, 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 voluntarily had the animal destroyed this week. Barnes confirmed the death Friday morning. In an interview with The Record that same morning,
Cooley expressed her “sincerest apologies” to the family 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 emotional, 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 SEE DOG, A12

Port, WSU talks raise alarm at Greenbank Farm By MEGAN HANSEN Whidbey News Group Rumors about a future partnership between the Port of Coupeville and Washington State University may turn out to be true. After being directly questioned 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 possibility 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 managers and work in collaboration with the port as it assumes more responsibilities at the farm. Rumblings about the possibility of the university moving to the farm have been a source of anxiety for tenants, who currently have month-tomonth leases. “We’ve been hearing the rumors for almost three years now,” said Judy Feldman, executive director 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

Greenbank Farm, owned by the Port of Coupeville, may see Washington State University as a new tenant. 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 partnership but said it could not serve as manager of the farm. David Day, executive director 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 advisory board for WSU North Puget Sound in Everett and has been involved in discussions 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 important 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

tion of where at the farm WSU could go. Price Johnson said everything is still unknown, even if WSU needs office space at the farm. If office space were needed, Diamanti said the only workable 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 recognize that. “This is a special place and it deserves a little bit of respect and a whole lot of care.”

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 publicly 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 tenants in a public facility and the process will be public. Regardless of the outcome of the Greenbank Farm discussions, having WSU in our backyard is not only great for our residents through providing educational options; it is highly valuable through the collaborative expansion of
economic development activities, 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 accommodate 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 imagine 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 possibilities with the university coming to the farm, including increased opportunities in bringing visitors from off island. “It could be amazing,” Day said. Then there’s also the ques-

Langley mayoral candidates hit the streets for campaigns By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Door-to-door visits, handshakes, 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 election in town, other than word of mouth. Emerson ordered the most with 75 signs, and Callison and Gill each ordering 50. All three candidates registered on the first day of Island County’s elections filing week, and have been busy with their campaign strategies since mid-May. Callison, a relative newcomer 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 campaign 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 cityowned building and property. In all, Callison said he expects to spend no more than $2,500 on the campaign, which he said includes any expenses if he were to advance from the Aug. 4 primary election. While Callison was first to have his signs up, Emerson was first to hit the pavement. The Sixth Street resident
Thomas Gill and business owner has been busy walking door-todoor around Langley, to date knocking on a quarter of Langley’s doors and speaking with anyone who has questions 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 strategy as to where she was placing 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 silhouette 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 residents to vote on the funicular/elevator, which was not

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 knocking on her neighbors’ and fellow 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 supporters, 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 questions at the grocery store, getting coffee or having a meal downtown. “If you have questions, ask me,” Gill said. “I have no agenda. I don’t own property 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.”
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Tim Callison shows off his campaign sign outside his Second Street home. To date, all three candidates made their first public appearance together at the June 10 forum hosted by the Langley Chamber of Commerce. Upon invitation, Gill and Callison spoke to some residents during different days at the Edgecliff neighborhood coffee meeting, and Emerson is scheduled to attend June 25. All three candidates created web pages for their campaigns. Emerson and Callison
have been diligent posters of city news and happenings, and both are regular attendees of city council meetings. Gill, as a councilman, is also present for council meetings but does not post about government goings-on to his site. One of the last opportunities residents have to hear from all three candidates is a July 9 forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island.

Editorial Jail tragedy must not go unanswered
Letters
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 traveling 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-holdsbarred 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 administration 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 responsibility 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 possible 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 changes 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 administration 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.

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 started last Sunday at the Crocket Barn near Keystone. About 100 supporters and a number of musical groups gathered there to dance and cheer Sallie on. Hooray for any and all of those souls who courageously 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.”

Transporation (or WSDOT) to conduct an analysis in regard to Island Transit continuing 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 decisions 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 welcomed 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 incompetent state agency such as WSDOT for resolution. There are plenty of competent people who could easily fill his position. The thought of WSDOT influencing what is best for Whidbey Island is incomprehensible. 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 problems.

Community, farm leadership face a pivotal moment Viewpoint

(or WSU) say they are merely tossing around ideas… have made no decisions… aren’t looking at anything in particular. The challenge for the tenants 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 continuing on — at least not yet. For tenants who have persisted throughout one of the toughest economic challenges of my lifetime, who have poured their heart and soul and financial resources into creating a livelihood with their
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 demonstration of community support will help the homeless pet population that arrive at foundation shelters and facilities for the
locally-owned, small business peers here, well, that is a terrifying 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 recreate the synergy they worked so hard for, that made the challenging location of the farm work for their bottom line? Or will the reorganization set them on a path of business failure? The management group is wondering just what it is we will be tasked to manage. We have been living with some degree of uncer-
coming year. Organization leaders expressed appreciation to sponsors who helped underwrite the event, individuals and businesses 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
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 nonprofit organization. While port funding is important to the farm, our ability to manage the site in the future and create engaging, attractive, educational and cultural activities for residents and tourists relies on much more
release. “The tremendous support we received this year tells us that people are more passionate 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 cochairs Dawn Ritter and Merritt
than that funding. In order for the port to respond to its financial needs, the farm will receive less port funding in 2016 and beyond than it has received in the past 10 years. We believe that we can respond to those concessions with increased community 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 nonprofit 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 looking for opportunities to make the farm more sustainable

Saturday, June 20, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record
Muzzy, Piehler, Hamsa make all-league baseball lists By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record 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 considered 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, losing 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 overall) reached the postseason, the Falcons went on a tear, losing only two playoff games — one in the bidistrict 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

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 probably 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 pitcher, 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 softhit 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 framing 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 difference 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 catchers, 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 consideration 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 allconference 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.

The 21st Celebrate America is just around the corner and organizers are looking for community support 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, organizers 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 individuals, 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 360-2211656; 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.

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
1970 to 2015 Andre was born on August 29, 1970 in Rochester, New York. He is survived by his mother Flossie, brother Andrew, 11 aunts and uncles and countless beloved cousins. Andre also leaves behind hundreds of us who loved him, from Rochester to Whidbey and points in between. Please join us at 4 p.m., Saturday, June 27 at the Greenbank Community Clubhouse (Bakken Road, south of Greebank Store) for a celebration of Andre Hendricks’ life. There will be a potluck, music, memories and family. Please visit

Joan and Scotty were very involved in Little League baseball for many years in Seattle and enjoyed dancing and other community activities. Joan was widowed suddenly 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 children 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 community 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 donated annually to the American Heart Society, Good Cheer and the July 3 fireworks in Freeland. Joan loved to garden, 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 grandchildren Linnea Weidemen (Mike), Brian Gabelein (Tierra), Tim Gabelein (Brianne), Becky Kathan (Dallas), Kali and Ricky; and her great grandchildren Alex, Mikayla, and baby Wilson.

Langley author finds peace, struggles in spiritual discovery
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record 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 centerpiece 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 outpouring of energy — in her marriage and at work — with little input, Bendet was drawn to the holy man and meditation. It exposed more psyche damage than it repaired initially, Bendet said inside her onebedroom 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 successor, or the specific spiritual

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 confront and accept them. “It wasn’t like I was enlightened,” Bendet said through a beaming smile. “I still have issues, I’m still working on

Margaret Bendet, with her miniature poodle Chou Chou alongside, holds a few books she worked on that were just for herself. Now, she has a published memoir coming out in August that details her three-decade journey following the teachings of an Indian swami and the personal struggles exposed in that time. them.” Chief among the problems, and a major plot point of her memoir and watershed moment of her life, were eating disorders and problems with “deep” infatuation. “The anorexia is not a story I ever told,” she said. “Infatuation was not something I shared in meditation class.” With the help of meditation, 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 dinner 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 interview with The Record.

In addition to being an author, she’s also an editor and a teacher. She instructs memoir writing at senior centers 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 questions about their ancestry. She stays busy, but centered around meditation with an informal group on Whidbey Island and at a center 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 someone 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.”

inside, but its origin was confirmed in the back of the building near kitchen machinery. 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 propane tanks. A favorite of ferry commuters and a fixture in Clinton for about three decades, Shirley’s Kitchen was a recognizable business 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

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” experience of her life, but said the county’s lack of accountability for such animals is incomprehensible. “This could have been a child… I just don’t understand,” Chin said.
The attack Contributed photo

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 concerning dangerous dogs by add-
The 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 collar. Chin then watched in horror 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

“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 financial donations can do so at Whidbey Island Bank. Go to any branch and ask to contribute 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 business 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.
to extinguish the blaze were counted among them.
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 represents 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 law The 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 euthanasia. “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 desperate need of saving,” the ad said. “Two days ago he unfortunately 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” designation, 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 someone 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 revision. Specifically, they plan to petition the commissioners for reform that would allow euthanasia options for dangerous 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.”

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS AND PISCES.
Week of June 21 to 27, 2015 ARIES
You’re concerned about your health and you’d like to get a bit more fit, even if only for the summer months. This would be a good time to start a diet.
TAURUS
You’re given a platform on which to express yourself. You may say something that will be remembered for a long time to come or that will spread around the world, courtesy of the Web.
GEMINI
Big projects are being organized at home as well as between you and your partner. You may decide to live with someone new and start a family, even if it’s a blended one.
CANCER
You’re tempted to express out loud what others are only thinking. However, your wisdom and maturity should help you choose your words diplomatically.
LEO
You have a hard time controlling your spending when you find yourself in a beautiful store. A more spiritual way of life would be a very attractive option.
VIRGO
You may be able to accomplish a brilliant exploit. You may soon meet your soul mate if you’re single, or you start talking about the future with your new partner.
LIBRA
The most important thing right now is your health. You become increasingly aware of its importance and live more for the moment. Rest and relaxation are also on the menu this week.
SCORPIO
Not everyone can manage stress well. Start by accepting who you are and don’t try to swim against the current. You find a great source of inspiration.
SAGITTARIUS
A specific event requires you to call an emergency meeting, at work or elsewhere. Many people are relying on you to get everything done.
CAPRICORN

If you’re on the point of renewing your mortgage, you’re in a strong position to renegotiate everything. You benefit from a more flexible budget.
PISCES
For one reason or another, you may have some difficulty in coming to a decision. You try to weigh the pros and cons, but it’s your heart that will give you the answer.

INMATE CONTINUED FROM A1
that such a needless tragedy never happens again. He asked that people gather 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 logs Island County Coroner Robert Bishop reported that Farris died from dehydration, but malnutrition was a contributing 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 outlines 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 dictated. 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 concerns to jail staff. “Once the nurse was notified 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 surveillance 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 fault The sheriff said he doesn’t excuse himself from blame. He said he failed in his supervisory role over the jail. Brown said he immediately implemented changes at the 58-bed jail to ensure inmate safety and is planning 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 football 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, struggling 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 larger 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 veteran 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 sometimes simply false, he said. He said family members would have noticed something 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.”

be necessary for survival in an emergency situation. “The number could be lower since we cannot confirm 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 determined by the coroner. Corrections deputies discovered Farris was dead at 12:30 a.m. on April 8.
Shirking procedures In his report, Wallace describes confusion among the jail staff regarding policies and procedures. The jail administration was in the process of instituting the Lexipol manual concerning jail policies. The part of the manual regarding safety cells was implemented, Brown said, but staff didn’t receive training and information wasn’t adequately disseminated or explained. Wallace details a series of instances in which the corrections 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 immediately and was incomplete. Supervisors didn’t inspect the logs as required. The safety checks were not sufficient to assess the inmate’s wellbeing. The policy requires that his medical and mental health status be assessed within 12 hours, but he wasn’t evaluated until his 11th day in custody. Wallace also described confusion among jail staff about McCarthy’s alleged directive that the door to Farris’ cell should not be opened because of his combative history. 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 concerned 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 contracts 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 professional and that he was “not good.” Nevertheless, she didn’t alert the staff to any concerns.
Blood on their hands The 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 uncooperative,” Wallace wrote. In addition, a psychologist from Western State Hospital evaluated Farris for competency to stand trial and he also didn’t convey any concerns about the young man’s health to the jail staff. San Juan County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord said Farris was originally supposed to be transferred to Western State for the evaluation, but it was delayed because of the lack of “beds” at the facility, which is a welldocumented problem in the state. As a result, the psychologist tried to examine him at the jail. Wallace’s report indicates 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 competent 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 psychologist did more to help his son. He wants to know what happened 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.
