Start date unknown for pending Madrona Way project By Megan Hansen Co-editor

A start date for construction of Phase 1 of the Madrona Way Project is up in the air at this point. Staff for Town of Coupeville is still reviewing bids and has yet to make a recommendation. A special meeting was held June 10 so the town council could approve a bid, however town engineer Greg Cane withdrew his initial recommendation and said he needed more time. Mayor Nancy Conard said at the special meeting they don’t know when a bid will be approved and had no estimate on when construction would start. Town Clerk Kelly Beech confirmed Monday it is still unknown when a bid will be approved and construction will begin. Conard is on vacation and several town council members are attending an Association of Washington Cities conference this week. The original estimated timeline for the project had construction of phase one starting the second week in June. Residents living on Madrona Way will be impacted by the project, which is being completed primarily from Broadway to Vine streets with some water line extension going toward Captain Whidbey Inn. Residents in the area can anticipate about six months of disruption, according to town staff. Part of Madrona Way will be closed off to through traffic and vehicle will be detoured during this time. The nearly $2-million project has been years in the making and was broken into two phases, which include installation of new water and sewer mains and construction of a sewer lift station. Phase two includes road reconstruction, installation of a storm drain system and bioswales, and installation of a pedestrian path. Drivers in the area will experience detours onto Vine and Sherman roads during the project.

Protest sheds light on jail failures

By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Tourists stopped and stared as a wave of people wearing black shirts, many with signs, marched through Front Street on Father’s Day. More than 250 people, many of them from Lopez Island, took part in the protest of the Island County Jail, where 25-yearold Keaton Farris died from dehydration in April. The protesters handed out water bottles. Coupeville resident Fred Farris, Keaton’s father, addressed the crowd before leading the procession. “This was for everyone,” he said of the protest. “It’s not just about me and it’s not just about Keaton. “This is just the first step,” he said. Keaton Farris spent most of his life on Lopez Island but went to high school in Coupeville for his sophomore and junior years. He developed mental-health issues two years ago and was accused of forging a check, which is why he ended up in jail. Sunday’s protest was spurred by Detective Ed Wallace’s report, which was released last week; it describes how the jailers failed to follow basic policies, resulting in the death. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown,

who’s ultimately responsible for the jail, suspended jail administrator chief De Dennis for a month. He decided to retire this week. Brown fired Lt. Pam McCarty, who was the second-in-command at the jail. Two corrections deputies who falsified their logs quit earlier. After reading the report, Island County Public Health Director Keith Higman placed nurse Nancy Barker on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Barker is a registered nurse who worked at the jail. The nurse worked under the guidance of the chief medical officer at the jail, who is a physician’s assistant working under a physician, according to Undersheriff Kelly Mauck. Mauck said two nurses from Public Health work in the jail. The sheriff’s office is also working with

Garage sale unearths mementos Lions hoping to find owner of donated WWII love messages By Kate Daniel Staff Reporter

The Coupeville Lions Club Garage Sale contains an assortment of donated pieces from vintage apparel and canoes to lampshades and armchairs. But on rare occasion, volunteers unearth a distinctly personal, heartfelt piece of history amongst the discarded items. While sifting through the contents of an antique jewelry box, one volunteer discovered a 74-year-old memento of reassurance and love sent in 1941 from a World War II sailor to his wife. The sailor, Thor Copstead, had been stationed overseas and had written a Christmas card and poem to his wife, whom he addressed as “the dearest one back home” and “my sweetheart wife.” The poem’s typewritten contents is still clearly legible, as is the card with its hand-drawn picture of a lighted Christmas candle and handwritten declaration of affection. The items had been tucked into an inside pocket of the old box, not necessarily hidden, though not easily spotted either. “They could have easily overlooked that,” said Verleen Boyer, Lions Club Garage Sale volunteer. The contents of the letter and card, along with their placement, led Boyer to believe it may have been donated by accident. Boyer noted that she and other volunteers have discovered similar items such as diamond rings and a 100-year-old christening gown, accompanied by a photo of the religious event. “I couldn’t imagine that in with all of that costume jewelry, someone wouldn’t have wanted that diamond ring,” she said. Sometimes, she said, people quickly clean out their own homes or those of loved ones without inspecting the pockets, nooks and crannies of items set aside for donation. Other times, individuals rely upon professionals who may not question more personal items. There is one Copstead listed in the Coupeville phone book, though the line appears to be out of service. At the home, a sign denotes the owners as “Thor and Oti,” though there was no answer Monday afternoon. Oti was another name Thor Copstead used for his wife, according to the donated materials.

Verleen Boyer shows the handmade Christmas card that was found inside a box donated to the Coupeville Lions Club Garage Sale. The lions are hoping to reunite the cards with the owner, thinking they were donated by mistake. “This was just heartwarming and wonderful to read that some man was writing to his wife,” Boyer said. “It makes you feel really good, what a nice thing for her it was.” According to an online database of Washington State marriage certificates, a Leota Hunter and Thor Copstead were married on Nov. 1, 1941 at the First Methodist Church of Arlington, Wash. Findagrave.com states that a WWII Navy veteran named Thor Copstead died on June 7, 1999 and is buried in the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery. Boyer said that, if she is unable to locate the owner prior to Saturday’s garage sale, she’ll hang on to it in case anyone should like to claim it. She and other volunteers are also considering placing a photo of the letter and card on Facebook. “I just thought it would be nice to reunite this with someone in the family if they had given this to the Lions by mistake,” said Boyer. Anyone who would like to claim the letter may contact the Coupeville Lions Club at 360-678-4105.

Lighthouse manager beams over role New program specialist plans to turn state park into ‘Haunted Fort’ By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

It would take an event of catastrophic proportions to wipe the smile off Sharon Sharpe’s face these days. Since March, she’s occupied a second floor office in the Admiralty Head Lighthouse in Coupeville, which comes with a window view of ship traffic in North Puget Sound passing through Admiralty Inlet. It’s one of the perks of being the new program specialist at the lighthouse, which is part of Fort Casey State Park. “It’s hard to have a bad day here,” she said. Sharpe is settling into her new position and trying to contain her excitement. An outdoors enthusiast, she calls what she does with Washington State Parks a dream job. “I’m trying hard to hold myself back,” Sharpe said. “I’ve got a lot of ideas I want to incorporate.” Her current project is building the number of volunteer docents who work in the lighthouse’s museum and interpretive center. She’d like to see the current base of roughly 20 volunteers double in size. Part of her job is manage the lighthouse’s interpretive staff, along with coordinating tours and events within the park and at the lighthouse, including weddings. One ambitious fundraising event she has planned for 2015 will take place in October when Fort Casey will play the starring role in a haunted house for two weekends. Plans for the “Haunted Fort” include an evening hayride from the lighthouse

to the old Switchboard chamber, where guests will be allowed to enter. “It’s not going to take much to make it a haunted space,” said Sharpe, who attended sixth grade camp at nearby Camp Casey and remembers some eerie moments at the fort as a child, then later returned as a camp counselor. “It’s scary enough for kids in the dark.” Although a committee continues to work out

Caring or Controlling?

oes this sound familiar? “I don’t think you should hang out with that person. I trust you, I just don’t trust them…I’m only saying this because I love you.” This may sound like a caring and concerned partner but it could also be a controlling behavior. Where is the line between caring & controlling? Know your line. Being able to identify these red flags in not only your own relationship but in others’ too can help prevent domestic violence.

Want to be a docent? Admiralty Head Lighthouse in Coupeville is looking for Washington State Parks docents interested in volunteering at the lighthouse. Lighthouse docents help in a variety of ways depending on their interests from greeting visitors, sharing history, giving tours or working in the gift shop. The lighthouse is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Shifts are typically about three hours. For more information, contact Sharon Sharpe at 360-678-1186 or sharon.sharpe@parks. wa.gov

Sharon Sharpe has been on the job as the program specialist at Admiralty Head Lighthouse since March. Among her fundraising ideas planned for this year is a haunted house held at Fort Casey State Park in October that will travel from the lighthouse to the Switchboard chamber. details, current plans are to run the event Oct. 16-17 and Oct. 23-24. “I’m afraid it’s going to be too big,” Sharpe said with a smile. Sharpe also is making plans for National Lighthouse Day in August. Fort Casey will celebrate that event on Saturday, Aug. 8, a day after the traditional date. Live music will be provided. Sharpe commutes from LaConner for her job but has no complaints. She gets to work inside a picturesque century-old, Spanish-style Whidbey Island icon that is often portrayed in photographs and paintings and once even appeared on a postage stamp. “My responsibility is to

care for it,” Sharpe said. “It needed some TLC.” Sharpe worked as an office assistant at a state parks regional office in Burlington prior to coming to Coupeville and has worked in office settings at the Port of Edmonds, LaConner Marina and Sedro-Woolley School District in the past. The lighthouse job gives her the flexibility to be where she loves to be most often — outdoors. “This fits me very well,” Sharpe said. “This is where I want to be.

“I was trying to work myself into the outdoors world. This is a dream job for me.” The lighthouse was formerly managed by Washington State University’s Island County Extension but management switched to state parks over the winter. Sharpe was hired just in time for spring when things start heating up at the park. “Promoting the park and what we have to offer is what I’m all about,” Sharpe said.

Domestic violence is often only associated with physical abuse, and while that can be a significant part in some relationships, there are also many other more subtle ways that people are being manipulated and controlled in abusive relationships. These obsessive and manipulative behaviors are far more common and widespread than anyone realizes, and, are far less talked about. Often, it is the indirect and insidious behaviors that are many times brushed under the rug or written off and yet, those are the very tools that many abusers use to form a tight cocoon around their victims. Those subtle behaviors, known as red flags, can be difficult to pinpoint to the average person. Understanding the line between caring and controlling behaviors is essential, because many people can’t see unhealthy behaviors in their own relationship and need a friend to help them realize the warning signs. CADA is here to help people learn those warning signs. Citizens Against Domestic & Sexual Abuse, CADA, is Island County’s domestic violence and sexual assault agency. We provide free, confidential assistance for anyone affected by these issues. Services include a 24/7 crisis line, crisis intervention, advocacy-based counseling, legal advocacy, community education & prevention, medical advocacy, emergency shelter, support groups and parenting classes.

PROTEST: Family, friends march through town and surround jail From page 1 the county’s Human Services department to provide mental-health care in the jail in the future. Sheriff Mark Brown has chosen an outside expert to do a comprehensive examination of the jail’s policies and procedures. Phil Stanley is a former Chelan County jail administrator with decades of experience in running jails. County commissioners would have to approve a contract with Stanley before he can start work. However, many of the protesters Sunday, including Fred Farris, said the problems are too great and that the jail should be shut down. Some called on the sheriff, who’s ultimately responsible for the jail, to resign. Others urged the prosecutor to charge everyone who failed in their responsibilities. Signs carried by protesters summed up their outrage and grief. “He died thirsty.” “Never again.” “Abolish solitary.” “No killer cops in our community.” “Serve and protect. Not arrest and neglect.” Hawk Arps provided a poignant rhythm for the marchers with a handheld drum. He said he was trying to keep Keaton Farris’ heartbeat alive. “He had a really strong vision of love and that’s what we are trying to share,” he said. Like many others at the protest, Keaton Farris’ mother, Tiffany, traveled from Lopez Island to take part. She said she is still struggling to understand how such an unnecessary tragedy could have happened. She said she doesn’t know how she could have survived without such a

supportive community. “He was the light in my life,” she said. “He taught me more about love than anybody. He is still teaching me.” Heather Arps is a nurse who’s known Keaton Farris his entire life. She said she knows firsthand how some patients can be difficult, but they still need medical help. “This is absolutely the grossest form of neglect I’ve ever witnessed in my life,” she said. Tanissa Lavigne and her two brothers were among those who traveled from Lopez Island. She said Keaton Farris was her first friend when she moved to the island 10 years ago; she remembers him as creative, hilarious, brave. She said he was a sensitive soul tortured by how screwed up the world can be. “I want to see people go to jail for this,” she said, fighting back tears. “This was murder.” Brown released a statement following the protest. He said he shares the family’s anger and grief. “I believe the best way of honoring Keaton and his family is to do everything possible to see that no other family has to endure what the Farris family is experiencing. I am truly sorry for this tragic death,” he wrote. “Changes are already being made to ensure that every inmate is safe and inmate medical needs are properly addressed.” Sheriff Brown was working in the jail while the protesters were outside its doors. A couple of them asked to come in and he obliged them, accepting a bottle of water featuring Keaton Farris’ image and showing them the jail. He said they also shared a few tears.

REPORT: Investigation shows jailer at fault From page 1 dration, 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’s 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 the two corrections 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. 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 is the family’s interaction with the jail, according to Keaton’s father, Fred Farris. 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.” Brown said that the jail policy doesn’t allow visitations when an inmate is in

crisis or at risk. He said such individuals can’t be moved to visitation rooms and visitors aren’t supposed to be brought to cells. Brown said he’s interested in looking at policies at other facilities. He said it might make sense to allow visitors to visit certain inmates at their cells, especially if it would calm them. Keaton Farris was diagnosed with bipolar disorder two years ago after experiencing a sudden onset of symptoms, his dad said. It was difficult to deal with, Fred Farris said, but he was convinced his son would figure 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. Records said San Juan County Superior Court show that prosecutors charged Farris, a Lopez Island resident, 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 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 is restraints. A Skagit official warned the Island County jail lieutenant that two corrections deputies would be needed to transport Farris because of his unpredictable behavior. 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 interagency contract. Farris arrived at Island County Jail without his medication or any of the medical and mental-health informa-

tion that the other jails collected. 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. Farris was initially placed in a blue-padded safety cell but was moved to a singleperson cell March 30. His cell was designated as a “safety cell,” which means heightened monitoring is required. On 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 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.

Coupeville High School grad helping group develop safer football helmet

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

One of the reasons 2011 Coupeville High School graduate Andre Stone didn’t play football for the Wolves was because of the risks involved. Now, ironically, he is aiming to help curb football head injuries. Stone, who graduated from the University of Washington June 14 with a degree in mechanical engineering, is working for VICIS, a startup bent on developing a better football helmet. VICIS, which means “change” in Latin, was spearheaded by three UW faculty members, Samuel Browd, Jonathan Posner and Per Reinhall. Browd is an associate professor of neurological surgery, attending neurosurgeon and medical director of Seattle’s Children’s Sport Concussion Program; Posner is an associate professor of mechanical engineering; and Reinhall is a professor and chair of the mechanical engineering department. Stone was one of three

Andre Stone was one of three undergraduates at the University of Washington asked to help design a better helmet.

undergraduates asked to help with the project. The founders believed blending the latest developments in medicine and engineering could result in a better helmet. Stone entered the University of Washington with the goal of working in the field of renewable energy. A sports history class changed his focus and piqued his interest in sports technology. “I was curious about what should be allowed in sports as far as technology is concerned,” Stone said. He cited South African Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius’ use of prosthetic legs and the development of low-drag swim suits that were banned several years ago after swimmers where shattering world records. “I wanted to know what all the fuss was about,” Stone said. “I also wanted to know what would give athletes an edge, help them pursue their passion and their dreams.” Stone took a fluid mechanics class from Posner his junior year, and Posner asked for volunteers to work on a project to develop a safer football helmet.

“It was perfect timing,” Stone said. “I was just getting interested in sports technology.” The success of the research project led to the formation of VICIS. “I’ve been working on the entire project,” Stone said, “I’m kind of a miscellaneous guy. I’ve been running

“The concern about concussions is ramping up ... Football is becoming so popular, it would be sad if it failed because of the lack of safety.” Andre Stone around between testing and materials.” After taking a few weeks off, Stone will begin working for VICIS in July, now earning a salary instead of research credits. Stone said the company is taking a “novel approach” in designing the helmet, but he is not free to discuss the

details. “It is exciting to be on the engineering ground level,” he said. The University of Washington football program and the Seattle Seahawks have been lending a helping hand. One of the Stone’s responsibilities was to measure the heads of several Seahawks to help with the helmet design. He called the experience of meeting the Sunday-afternoon stars “surreal,” adding, however, there was little interaction with the players. VICIS is working on prototypes, Stone said, and there is no set date for when the project will be completed. The awareness of concussions and their damaging, long-term effects have been pushed to the forefront of public consciousness in recent years. “The concern about concussions is ramping up,” Stone said. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 1.6 to 3.8 million concussions occur in sports annually. “Football is becoming so popular,” he said, “it would be sad if it failed because of the lack of safety.” Stone, the son of Joshua and Eileen Stone, grew up in Coupeville and played soccer for the Wolves. He said he was “tempted to play football -- it looked like fun.” He examined the pros and cons and decided “more could go wrong.” Now he is trying to help shift the balance of the equation.
