FBI to review details of inmate’s death at Island County jail By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record The FBI is reviewing the investigation into an inmate’s dehydration death at the Island County jail. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said he met with an FBI agent from the Bellingham office last Thursday to discuss
the death of 25-year-old Keaton Farris. “I told her I would cooperate fully and do whatever I can to help,” he said, adding that he welcomes an independent review of the tragedy. He said the agent is going to evaluate Detective Ed Wallace’s report on the series of failures in the jail that led to the April 7 death of Farris.
Ayn Dietrich-Williams, a media coordinator for the FBI, said the agency routinely gets involved in cases such as this to determine if a federal crime was committed. “Unless it is determined that a federal crime was committed, the FBI will defer any possible criminal prosecution to the local prosecuting attorney’s office,” she wrote in an email.
Likewise, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said he is conducting a complete review of the case in order to determine if any crimes were committed. While he said many people have called on him to file charges immediately, he said

Langley city council gives food truck green light, again By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Re-Arrangers and Janie Cribbs and the T.Rust Band — and far — Martinez and LeRoy Bell of South Africa.
Admitting it made an error and wanting to fix it, the Langley City Council approved a handful of changes that will allow the city’s first food truck to keep operating this year. “We are going to make mistakes, as is everyone in this goddamn room,” said Councilman Bruce Allen to a packed crowd at City Hall. “And we made one.” The food truck was issued a desist business order July 2 after operating for the previous two weekends and being licensed by the city. An emergency two-day stay of the desist order was approved by the city council July 3, allowing owner Joe Wierzbowski to sell food he’d purchased ahead of the Independence Day weekend. More than 40 people filled the seats of city hall with a handful of people standing along the walls and doorways of the city council’s regular meeting July 6. Ten people spoke in favor of the council doing whatever it could to allow The Big Wierzbowski food truck to keep cooking. They ranged from a simple request to allow

Firefighters guard the Eagles Aerie on South Whidbey Friday after a series of brushfires combined to form what officials called the largest on the South End since the 1990s. Police are investigating the cause.
By JUSTIN BURNETT and EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record A series of brushfires on South Whidbey last week have been officially deemed suspicious and are now under investigation by police. According to Island County Sheriff Mark
Brown, a cause remains unknown but factors have made it difficult to positively rule out foul play, particularly the number of fires involved. Investigators say as many as eight were started along a stretch of Highway 525 less than one mile in length. Several leads were eliminated early on but the
department has received no new information and has no suspects. “It is highly suspicious and I would urge anyone with information to call us,” Brown said. He credited firefighters with a stellar response, SEE FIRE, A17
Choochokam Arts Festival turns 40 this weekend By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Choochokam Arts Festival, one of Langley’s premier weekend events and biggest crowd pleasers, is turning 40 this weekend.
The four decade-old festival is very much up to its old tricks: free music, fresh food, abundant art, and a view to boot. Tried and true to the format is keeping the music free for visitors. Plenty of big-time performers are
lined up for the little Village by the Sea, including Vicci Martinez of TV’s “The Voice” fame and 18 others between Saturday and Sunday. Peppered throughout both days are bands from near — locals such as Ranger and the

Notable Island County Granges haul in awards at Washington state convention Island County was well represented at the recent state Grange convention. Five Grange members from Island County attended the event June 24-27 in Ellensburg, with the Deer Lagoon, South Camano and Pomona groups in attendance.

Firehouse to stay in Langley’s hands; city considers lease extension
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Patrick Forrestal does some detail work on a glass-blown rockfish, held by Brian Iverson, at Callahan’s Firehouse in Langley in June.
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The old fire station on Second Street will stay in Langley’s hands after all. Council members entertained an offer to buy the building by current tenant Callahan McVay, but decided it was best to keep the building for now, during Monday’s regular city council meeting. The decision was a case of rejection, but with a kiss on the cheek. After a 20-minute executive session to discuss the minimum sale price, the council returned to an open meeting and informed McVay’s business analyst, Chas Glass, that the city

city should keep the building. Its iconic look in the heart of the commercial core made it a valuable asset, she said, and losing it would be a shame. The building itself is not fit for much else, Glass said. McVay’s hot shop, a blownglass art studio and gallery, mitigates the lack of insulation in the old concrete block building that used to house fire trucks decades ago. “The building is iconic, there’s no question about it,� Glass said. “The only reason it works for Callahan is he’s got a 2,500-degree oven in there,� he later said, adding that no other buyers made an offer on the property because of the prohibitive cost of renovating or rebuilding on the lot. McVay offered to buy the building for $350,000 and grant a permanent easement for the city’s use of the parking spots behind it. Valuation of the property, which is actually two lots, has fluctuated much like the rest of the real
estate market over the past decade. The Island County Assessor’s most recent roll valuation was for $688,045. Glass claimed that, because the entire property would not be available for McVay’s use, as per the city’s request for proposal which required an easement on the parking lot, the value should reflect that reality. He felt the offered price was more than fair. Councilwoman Rene Neff
said it would help to know what the city would do with the sale money, such as purchasing another building as a business incubator or other facility to spur development in town.

Healthy Living Holistic medicine treats overall health Barbara Simons, PA-C - The Water’s Edge
Community Mental Health is good for the community!
Holistic medicine is a term used to describe treatment therapies that treat the patient as a whole person versus just treating a symptom. Emphasis is placed on preventing illness by optimizing health.
Author - Sunrise Community Mental Health

Sunrise Community Mental Health is pleased to now be serving Island County with two new locations in Coupeville and Oak Harbor.
Holistic medicine, however, looks at an individual’s overall physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well being before a treatment is determined. Holistic medicine practitioners look at a body’s systems as being out of balance when ill, and they place great importance on nutrition as well as avoidance of certain substances known to pollute the body as well as mind.
Sunrise Community Mental Health provides a variety of treatment and support programs, helping people with mental illness remain in their community. It’s important to Sunrise that their clients to progress toward wellness and true recovery. Because each person’s needs are unique and each person’s vision of recovery is unique, Sunrise works with the individuals to build a customized plan that is equally unique.

A properly balanced holistic treatment plan aims to take into consideration all aspects of human health and includes noninvasive and non-pharmaceutical healing methods, including herbal medicine, naturopathic medicine, nutritional therapies, stress reduction and psychotherapy, massage and chiropractic approach. Office visits can run 60 minutes for first visits and from 30-60 minutes for all other visits. This time is to get to know a patient and allow for setting up individualized treatment plans.

WHIDBEY Bow woman dies in crash The Island County coroner has released the name of a motorcyclist killed near Deception Pass Bridge Friday. Robin Lindgren, 42, resident of Bow, died at the scene of the traffic collision, Island County Coroner Robert Bishop said. Lindgren was riding a 2002 Honda motorcycle alongside a male friend on another motorcycle. They were headed north on Highway 20 July 3. Leslie McMahan, 50, of Edmonds, was also driving north, just in front of the motorcyclists, in a 1999 Ford F-150 truck, according to a Washington State Patrol report. She stopped on the highway to turn into the parking lot just before the bridge. The motorcyclists were unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. The male motorcyclist reported to investigators that he veered right and Lindgren went left to avoid the truck. He said her handle bar hit the back corner of the truck and she was thrown onto the pavement in the other lane of traffic, according to Bishop. Lindgren was struck by an oncoming 2001 Ford Ranger driven by Nelson
Root, 19, of Oak Harbor, the State Patrol reported. She died instantly, the coroner said. Lindgren was wearing a helmet. Brian Farrett, 49, of Edmonds, was a passenger in the Ford F-150 truck. The State Patrol reported that inattention was the cause of the crash. Bishop said there is no indication that drugs or alcohol were factors in the accident, but toxicology results are pending.
Timeline brings together mystery An Orcas Island man whose body washed up on a North Whidbey beach June 23 died from saltwater drowning, the Island County coroner ruled. David Fleischmann, 66, was last seen alive on board a ferry headed to Anacortes, Island County Coroner Robert Bishop reported. A beach watcher found Fleischmann’s body in the surf off of Moran Beach at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 24. His car was later found parked at the ferry terminal on Orcas Island. Bishop said the timing of the death was initially a mystery because an employee at Madrona Bar and Grill restaurant, Fleischmann’s workplace on Orcas Island, reported seeing him at noon on
Wednesday, June 24. The employee later realized that it had actually been Tuesday, June 23, when Fleischmann was at the restaurant. After hearing that change in the timeline, Bishop said, the pieces started falling into place. Fleischmann didn’t show up for his scheduled work shift at 4 p.m. June 23, but was seen eating dinner at a different restaurant on Orcas Island later that day. Bishop looked at surveillance video from Washington State Ferries to help figure out Fleischmann’s movements. The video shows him getting on the 10:30 p.m. sailing from Orcas Island to Anacortes. Fleischmann is seen several times on the ferry; he was last seen around 11:40 p.m. as he is walking to the back of the vessel, according to Bishop. Fleischmann did not get off the ferry when it docked in Anacortes. His body was found about 16 hours later off of Whidbey Island. Bishop released Fleischmann’s cause of death following an autopsy.
SOUTH END Downed tree limb disrupts power A broken tree limb near the intersection of
Cultus Bay and French roads resulted in the loss of power to over 2,000 homes Sunday night. Mike Cotton, deputy chief at South Whidbey Fire/EMS, said the tree limb fell on top of a power line, breaking the wire and later causing grass below to ignite. He doesn’t suspect foul play, but the circumstances were unusual, he said. “Rarely does a branch fall off without wind or some other form of nature,” Cotton said. No vehicles were involved in the incident, but the road was closed to motorists because electrical lines were on the ground. The outage occurred at 6 p.m., according to Ray Lane, a Puget Sound Energy spokesman. The utility began bringing electricity back online for some homes at 1 a.m. All homes were back online at 2:30 a.m., he said. “It took a little time because of the damage from the fire,” Lane said.

Editorial
Legislature’s higher education bill is a step in the right direction It’s no secret that the rising cost of tuition at state colleges and universities has made it increasingly hard for high school graduates in Washington state to take the next step in their education. For those who do get into college, far too many are swimming in financially crippling debt by the time they graduate. College students in Washington state currently graduate with an average of more than $20,000 in student debt. It often can take years to climb out from under that financial burden. In response, during the waning days of the legislative session, lawmakers approved an unprecedented reduction in college tuition. Senate Bill 5954, deemed the “College Affordability Program,” is a welcome step in lowering the obstacles for those graduates wanting to go to college and in easing their long-term financial burden. The measure was signed this week by Gov. Jay Inslee. Among those looking on at the signing ceremony was Republican Sen. Barbara Bailey of Oak Harbor. Bailey is chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Committee. She was also a co-sponsor of the measure. The College Affordability Program cuts tuition at staterun colleges and universities by up to 20 percent and caps tuition growth based on a percentage of the state’s median wage. “This is a historic moment for families and students in our state,” said Bailey. “Washington is the only state in the country to support working families with a college tuition reduction. “In addition, this is the first tuition reduction in state history,” Bailey said. “The lack of investment in Washington’s higher-education system has been detrimental to our state’s economy and damaging to family budgets struggling to cover everincreasing tuition,” Bailey said in a prepared news release. We agree. In effectively making the cost of higher education prohibitive for many, we reduced the pool of future employees and leaders during a time when our aging workforce is moving toward retirement. Increased access to a higher education bodes well for a generation that needs to be mentally armed and ready to take on the challenges of our evolving job market. Kudos to the Legislature for improving the chances of putting our children through college without completely breaking the bank.

Comments were not part of campaign platform Editor, I am running for Mayor of Langley because of my leadership skills and my respect for the process. A mayor’s role is not to come up with policy ideas or discreet solutions — that is the responsibility of the Design Review Board, Planning Advisory Board, Expert Staff and City Council. They develop and execute the solutions. It will be my job to lead with inclusiveness and surround myself with those smarter than I am. I have spent a great deal of time during this campaign meeting with the great minds of Langley, and as a result am more fully informed. At the last city council meeting Mayor McCarthy allowed citizen comment when the subject of the conveyance was brought up. As a citizen,

The Greenbank Farm Management Group has been instrumental in meeting the challenges of this noble experiment in public land use. Now with the development of the Farm’s organic agriculture program, we are fortunate to offer locally grown healthy food in our café. Our business continues to thrive and we have great hopes for the future here in our home at the Greenbank Farm. With a limited tax base The Port of Coupeville, as owners of the 150 acres of the farm, faces difficult tasks in maintaining the century-old facilities of the Coupeville Wharf and the Greenbank Farm. If the university has a program that can support the port, the community and farm stakeholders without compromising the efforts that have gone into creating the farm’s success, they would be a welcome addition. The Greenbank Farm is an evolving experiment in honoring this historic farmland and offering an island treasure that is of great benefit to all concerned.

Accountability a must in jail death Editor,
WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM
Everyone involved in Keaton Farris’ death at the Island County Jail must be held accountable. It is mind boggling how many people were involved in the killing of Keaton Farris. It appears Island County Sheriff Mark Brown is taking some action now, but it’s hard to fathom how he and his predecessor missed the inept and dangerous leadership of Dennis De at the jail over the years. Just before he was arrested Keaton told Lynnwood officer Koonce: “I’m off my meds and I’m pretty anxious right now but your badge is calming me down.” Seventeen days later he was dead. The treatment he received at the hands of officers who are sworn to protect the people they serve was horrendous. Before he arrived at the jail he had been kept in isolation, off his medication, shot with a taser, “taken to the ground” multiple times, left in a restraint chair for hours and his medication lost. Once at Island County he continued to be kept in isolation, stripped of his clothes other than a suicide smock, left without water, denied medical treatment and visits by his family. He died alone and was found by a jailer hours later who poked a baton through a slot to see if Keaton would move. The treatment Keaton received at the jail has happened before, but this time things got so carried
away someone died. These practices have taken place under at least two administrations and no one has called Dennis out on his and his subordinates’ inhumane and degrading treatment of people. The jailers on duty and their supervisors are all culpable in Keaton’s death. The least of their punishments should be to spend a week in their own Behavior Modification Module in just a suicide smock and given a couple Dixie cups of water a day. But that would be considered inhumane. It is, and it was. They do need to be put on trial for murder, because that is what happened here. If you deny the most basic means for a person to stay alive until they die, how can that be called anything but murder? If you want to help keep what happened from happening again and have the people involved be held accountable, let Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks know.

was the case on Monday morning, June 29 when I got a call from a deputy sheriff looking for my son. He had to tell him that his car had been vandalized. My son was in the process of moving home from college for the summer when he had battery/ alternator trouble, which caused the car to die by the Bayview Vision Clinic at Useless Bay. He couldn’t get it started, and it was late (around 10 p.m. on Sunday), so he decided to just leave it parked in the lot and deal with it in the morning. Unfortunately, someone who was high, drunk, or bored, got to the car first and broke every single window in the car. Mean, malicious destruction on a nice-looking car that my son bought with his own hard-earned money a couple years ago. And now through no fault of his own, he either has to pay $2,000plus to replace all the windows on a $4,000 car that is already 12 years old, or just total it and start all over. (To keep car insurance at all reasonable for a young male, we did not have comprehensive coverage.) Our son is a good kid who has worked several different jobs for several years while going to college, and it breaks my heart to see

BE AWARE
In the olden days of real estate, “Let the buyer beware!” was good advice. Today, “Let the buyer BE AWARE” might be a better suggestion. For homebuyers, it is a wise move to learn all the facts about a home before making a purchase. Property owners are required to disclose existing defects in their home, yet asking plenty of questions might uncover potential problems as well. The real estate agent may also be an information resource. Some information which may be helpful includes: 1) age of the home, 2) construction 3) age of the roof, 4) age of appliances, and 5) records showing major repairs to the home over the past three years. Heating/cooling bills for the past several years can also be helpful in budgeting utility cost for the future. Unless buyers are highly trained building contractors themselves, it is wise to employ the services of a reputable, licensed home inspection company. Major structural components including plumbing, electrical and heating and air will be thoroughly inspected. Appliances will be tested and water heaters checked for proper function. Buyers should “be aware” that they have the responsibility to uncover the facts about concerns they may have. With a home inspection, and careful consideration of all the facts presented by the sellers, an informed knowledgeable decision can be made. A pleasant, rewarding home purchase can be the result.

Talking or Stalking?
D
oes this sound familiar? “Why won’t you answer my texts or calls??? I just like to know where you are and who you’re with because I worry about you.” This may sound like a concerned and worried partner but it could also be classified as stalking. Where is the line between talking & stalking? 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. 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 talking and stalking 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.

Central Whidbey wins District 11 title SWHS student Megan Drake selected for statewide committee By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record

Central Whidbey celebrates after defeating North Whidbey 15-9 in the District 11 championship game Saturday. The team earned their second consecutive trip to the state softball playoffs, which will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 11, at Vancouver’s Glenwood Little League fields.
By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record A loss can go a long way in determining the resolve of a team. For Central Whidbey’s 9/10 all-star Little League softball team, it was enough to push them through to state. Again. After falling to North Whidbey on the opening day of the District 11 tournament — Central Whidbey’s first loss this season — the teams met again in the championship game, which Central Whidbey won, 15-9. Down 8-4, Central Whidbey scored 11 runs with the help of 10 walks and two hits by Mckaela Meffert. The win earned the team its second consecutive trip to the state tournament, which will begin Saturday at 1 p.m. at Vancouver’s Glenwood Little League fields. “They did amazing. I hate to say this, but I think it probably helped them to lose the first game,” said coach Mimi Johnson. “Because they were devastated. They didn’t really know it felt like to lose.” It hit them pretty hard. But they came back ready to rock and roll.” After their loss to North Whidbey, Johnson said the

“She brought her A-game.” Central Whidbey may have a small team by the numbers as compared to others around the state — only 11 strong — but they know how to win. The team’s catalyst at state last year was the pitching they faced. But, with the difficult experience of being eliminated from state after two games last season, this year’s team will know what to expect. It may be the other teams who will have to look out. “Who knows what this year will bring,” Johnson said.
South Whidbey High School junior Megan Drake was among eight incoming juniors from around the state of Washington selected to join the WIAA LEAP (Leadership through Education Activities and Personal Development) Committee, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association announced Thursday. The committee is comprised of 16 juniors and seniors who represent each of the six WIAA classifications and the nine districts around the state. “I wasn’t really sure I wanted to do it at first,” Drake said. “It took some convincing and I thought it would be a good idea, so I was really excited when I found out.” Drake competes in athletics year-round for the Falcons. She’s a starter on the volleyball and basketball teams, as well as a high jumper and 400-meter runner in track and field. “If anybody deserves to get recognized for this, it’s Megan,” said Falcons’ head volleyball coach Mandy Jones. “She is just an allaround good person, good athlete, and good student. She’s just…she’s Megan. She’s one of a kind.” “She has a really high future ahead of her and I’m excited to see where she goes.” Drake had to go through an application process in order to be selected, which included three letters of recommendation, a short essay on why athletics and activities are important, and a video personal statement about her school and a pitch for why she should be selected. Those on the committee represent the voices of over 250,000 student-athletes in high school and middle school athletics and activities in the state of Washington. Drake wasn’t even aware of LEAP, or that this is its eighth year serving member schools, until former South Whidbey High School Athletic Director Kelly Kirk told her she would be a good candidate. Now, it appears

Drake currently holds a 4.0 grade point average. the work she put in will pay off over the long run. “I thought it would look good on my college applications,” Drake said. “I wanted to be more well-rounded than just sports. Sports mean a lot to me and I do a lot of them, but I wanted more than that, so I thought this would be a good way to put myself out there.” Drake is interested in pursuing a career in sports management. “I thought it would give me some insight to what some of the jobs would be like in that field,” Drake said. “She’s a quiet leader. You wouldn’t know that she’s leading but she does it in an almost sophisticated kind of way,” Jones said. “Her teammates respect her very much. Her coaches respect her.” Her teammate in volleyball and basketball — senior Morgan Davis — held Drake in the same regard. “She’s always been a really positive person and she always gives her best in everything she does,” Davis said. “She’s always the one who goes to the extra workouts for basketball and volleyball and track. She doesn’t ever try to find an excuse to get out of anything. It’s just kind of who she is.” The first meeting for the 16-student committee is scheduled for Sept. 6 at the WIAA office.

Mayoral candidate goes for one-on-ones in first coffee klatch
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Sharon Emerson, middle, speaks with a couple of residents about her candidacy to be mayor of Langley, during the first of her four coffee talks each Sunday in town.
Sharon Emerson
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Langley mayoral hopeful Sharon Emerson made good on her hope to have small group or one-on-one chats with Langley residents this past weekend. Wearing a bright yellow hat with “SHARON 4 MAYOR” written in blue across the front, and a white T-shirt that displayed her campaign logo and slogan, she met with members of the public at the Commons on Sunday.
During the two-hour stint, the first of four planned Sunday afternoons at the location, Emerson met with three residents. All of them were women and each said they were concerned with the city’s past approach to improving the connection between the marina and downtown commercial core. Emerson has been a staunch opponent of the funicular option, and has touted either widening Wharf Street — the project for which the first grant funds were secured — and improving the pedestrian walkway down the hill or buying more golf carts to move people up from the harbor and around town. “At this point, I’m not even sure there’s a need,” she told one of the visitors. “If there’s a need, then golf carts are the best option.” Open government was one of the pillars of her campaign, based on her responses to some of the visitors’ questions. She said she did not have a large-

ly gatherings at city hall. Another idea is to put all completed public records requests online. Balancing the desire for growth and the desire to keep Langley’s “charm” was another common concern for the three visitors. Emerson said the city has the necessary devices to mitigate urban sprawl, and population growth estimates are low, but she also cautioned that cities only go two directions: either they grow, or they shrink, and she preferred the latter. “Langley already has a lot of those zonings and ordinances in place, plus the Design Review Board,” she said. Emerson touted her experience running her own business, Island Home Nursing, for three decades. She said that she is well suited to be city hall’s top employee, a post for which

This is Allen’s first year leading the way in seeing the festival to fruition.

festival, I like meeting people and talking to the vendors.” Allen, who grew up in Langley and is also a city councilman, recalled the experience of hearing music from downtown when he was younger. He’d still enjoy listening to the sounds of a bustling downtown if he wasn’t down there in the mix of things each day. The event will be scaled back a bit from recent years. Allen said 58 vendors, plus some nonprofits and food vendors, are signed up to line First Street from Boy and Dog Park to Anthes Avenue. “I think it’s better for us as a smaller festival to have better quality,” Allen said. Everything in the festival, from the art vendors to the music to the food, is carefully curated by the organizers and Allikat Records/Media. Allen said they don’t want anything to sound too similar, and all the music needs to be original songs by the artists, so anyone hoping to hear a Led Zeppelin or Fleetwood Mac tune would be best to throw it on the record player at home.

Hot rods heat up for Cool Bayview Nights By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record
Muscle cars, low riders, trucks, hot rods, foreign beauties and American classics will all be rolling to one spot on South Whidbey this weekend. Arriving by the dozens in tones of Pacific blue, candy apple red, sun fire yellow and just about every other shade of the rainbow, they’ll transform Bayview Corner into a sparkling treasure chest of the most coveted cars in the world for the 10th annual Cool Bayview Nights Car Show. “I think we’ll have 60 to 70 this year,” said Brian Grimm, event chairman and founder. “It’s a tribute to anyone on South Whidbey who has ever loved cars,” he said. The event is 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 11 in the field usually occupied by the farmers market, just off Highway 525. The market relocates to the parking lot, its former location. (Competitors see side bar for details.) Grimm, a lifelong Whidbey resident, started the show in 2006. The son of Mel Grimm Sr., you could say a love of cars in his blood. Growing up in the 1960s, he and his brother spent weekends with their father hauling home vehicles that had seen better days to fix, sell for parts or soup up for racing. “You could buy three ’55 Chevs for $20 bucks back then,” Grimm said. The family’s garage was known around the South End as a place for parts, particularly among island teenagers. Many considered his father a second dad, as the man was a bit of a godfather to the community’s automobile world. Coming from such a background, Grimm said it was only natural years later to organize a car show. It followed past events put on the Lions Club and later the American Legion, which

It will feature cars like this 1968 Chevy Impala, a 2013 Best in Show Winner. was put on by Mel Grimm, Grimm’s brother. Grimm said it was a pastime he just didn’t want to see disappear. His hope is that it will inspire younger generations to step forward and volunteer too. Similarly, he decided he wanted the proceeds to go toward restoration efforts and property taxes of the Bayview Community Hall. His grandfather helped build the structure in 1927, and it’s been a meeting place for the community ever since. “I’m all about doing community stuff to make our community a better place to live,” Grimm said. The car show’s first year was a bit slow, with just 13 registered vehicles including a 1973 one-ton farm truck that still had hay in the bed, but the event has since grown by leaps and bounds. Recent years have seen participation as high as 80 vehicles and 2,000 spectators. While the growth has been
steady, Bayview Nights isn’t as large as other car shows on Whidbey Island, such as Oak Harbor’s, according to Ed Halloran, an organizer. But it’s still a lot of fun, he said. Besides having the chance to show off their cherished rides, it’s a chance to meet and chat with those who are just as crazy about cars. Also, you’re often seeing and competing against the same people, and the friendly rivalries that develop only add to the flavor, Halloran said. “I always get beat by Dick Hunt,” he said. “I do well when he’s not there.” Hunt has a 1962 red AustinHealey, which seems to regularly wow the crowds just a bit more than Halloran’s 1995 Jaguar Roadster. Halloran isn’t without trophies, however; his 1968 Shelby GT 500 secured a first-place win at a past Bayview show. This year’s event has 20 different divisions in which to compete, ranging from stock and modified vehicles sorted
by decade to motorcycles, newer cars and hydraulic low riders. A first this year will be live music by Guy Daniels, who grew up in Coupeville, and sales by artist Galen Hanby — he paints scenes on rocks and owns On The Rock. Safe Ride Home, a community service program, will also have a booth at the show. The program gathers funds to cover taxi bills for people who can’t get home because of drugs or alcohol, uncomfortable or unsafe situations, or simply because one is too tired to drive. Grimm started it in 2011 after three young men were killed in a car crash on South Whidbey. While Grimm said the booth is just another opportunity for education, Halloran didn’t let him off so easy. Grimm is a communityfocused man who’s always looking to do good, he said, from starting a car show that generates cash for a public resource to helping foster past partnerships with local
schools to design event graphics and posters. Then there’s Safe Ride Home.
Spectators: The show is 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 11 at Bayview Corner in the field usually occupied by the farmers market. Participants: Cost to enter is $15 per vehicle in advance and $20 per vehicle day of the event. To register, visit www.coolbayview nights.com to download a form or call Brian Grimm at 360321-8482 for details. Highlights: Live music by Guy Daniels, art sales by artist Galen Hanby, hot food, car show apparel and an information booth for Safe Ride Home. “He’s a pretty nice guy,” Halloran said.

FIRE CONTINUED FROM A1
saying their efforts may have saved several buildings in the area from destruction. “This had the potential of ballooning up into a real disaster,” Brown said. “Thank God for them.” The fires began shortly after noon Friday, July 3 on the south side of the state route between Scott Road and the Eagles Aerie past Double Bluff Road. They combined to form three fires that South Whidbey Fire/EMS officials are calling the largest brushfire fought on the South End since the 1990s today. According to Mike Cotton, deputy chief for South Whidbey Fire/ EMS, it scorched about 15 acres of grassland, damaged power lines and power poles, and threatened a number of buildings. Multiple island and state agencies responded to the emergency. It caused heavy traffic delays along Highway 525
FBI CONTINUED FROM A1
the process will take time and the outcome at this point is unclear. “Decisions to prosecute must be made based upon the admissible evidence and a thorough analysis of the law and procedures that govern our criminal courts,” he said. The complete investigation includes hundreds of pages of supporting documentation as well as video and other evidence. Banks said he may ask detectives to do additional investigation. In addition, Banks said he’ll want to see the report from an independent expert the sheriff is bringing in to conduct a comprehensive review of the jail and its policies. He said that is likely to be at least a couple of months away. Coupeville resident Fred Farris, Keaton’s father, said he’s pleased to hear about the FBI’s involvement and hopes it brings about criminal charges. “I think the more people who look at it the better,” he said. Fred Farris said he also hopes to meet with Banks to share some information the prosecutor may not have. He said he continually hears from people who have stories about problems at the jail, both systemic failures and unprofessional conduct by jail personnel. Fred Farris and other family members organized

A brushfire near Freeland on Friday, July 3 has police suspicious about how it started. and even resulted in some residents leaving their homes as a precautionary measure. “This was a significant event,” Cotton said. “We had the highway shut down for a couple of hours.” Driving southbound on Highway
a large protest through Coupeville after Wallace’s report was released. Every day since then, volunteers have continued protesting in front of the jail. Friends and family marched for Keaton Farris during a Fourth of July parade on Lopez Island, where the young man lived for most of his life. Fred Farrow said they held a “Justice for All” banner and handed out water bottles. Keaton Farris also attended school in Coupeville. Fred Farris said his son’s death was nothing short of murder perpetrated by the people who were supposed to be keeping him safe. “I don’t know what else it could be, honestly,” he said. “If they did this to a dog, it would be a felony crime.” Wallace’s 51-page report outlines a complicated series of failures that began when Keaton Farris was picked up by Burlington police March 20 on a check-fraud warrant out of San Juan County. He was in the midst of a mental health crisis and had sought medical help earlier that day. After being transferred to several different jails, he ended up alone in a “safety cell” at Island County jail. The jailers turned off water in his cell for days after he put a pillow in the toilet at one point and later flooded his cell. He was given water during his meals, but Wallace calculated that it was only a fraction of what was necessary

to survive. The staff did not check on him as often as protocol dictated. Jail logs didn’t include necessary information and observations; the supervisors didn’t follow policy by checking the logs, Wallace wrote. Medical staff wasn’t called to examine Farris until the day before he died. The nurse only talked to him briefly through the “feed slot” in the cell door and didn’t relay any concerns she might have to jail staff. The jail staff was supposed to check on Keaton Farris hourly. The last time a corrections deputy confirmed that he was alive was 5:30 p.m. on April 7. A corrections deputy tapped on his cell at 8:30 p.m. but didn’t get a response; Wallace wrote that he was likely dead at that point. Corrections deputies discovered that Keaton Farris was dead at 12:30 a.m. on April 8. Two corrections deputies falsified their logs after the death was discovered, Wallace wrote. Both men resigned. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown fired the supervising lieutenant at the jail. Chief De Dennis, the jail administrator, resigned. The jail nurse, an Island County Health Department employee, was placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.

Fire officials didn’t order any home evacuations, but some people decided to retreat to a safe distance when warned by firefighters. Others got involved. Dennis and Joyce Bennett, whose motor home was positioned behind the Eagles, said they heard sirens just before noon. When they came to investigate, the fire was well underway. The couple moved sprinklers near the grassland to assist firefighters. Joyce said at the time that the fire was “pretty scary” and that she was concerned the fire could move closer to her home. “I never expected anything like this,” Joyce said. Dennis added, “Never have I seen anything like this before.” The majority of the fires were under control within 45 minutes, but firefighters spent about three hours working to extinguish hot spots. Some state firefighters were still doing mop up as of 7:30 p.m. The incident and the subsequent highway closure resulted in heavy traffic delays; motorists were
reportedly asked to avoid the highway because of backups. The fires come on the heels of a recent burn ban issued by Brown, who is also the county’s fire marshal, and a proclamation by the Island County Commissioners that urged the public to exercise extreme caution with fireworks this year due to hot weather and low moisture levels. South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer said Friday’s brushfires were just the start of a busy weekend; they responded to about 40 calls that ranged from medical calls and water rescues to seven or eight additional brushfires. Some were the result of fireworks, others from cigarettes, he said. Palmer urged the public to use extreme caution over the next couple of months, saying Independence Day is past but not the danger. “Just because the Fourth is over doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods yet,” he said. “People really need to be careful the rest of the summer.”

The 21st annual Celebrate America went off without a hitch and ended with a bang Friday. After a full day of entertainment at Freeland Park, which included a magician, bands, food vendors, bounce houses and face painting, hundreds gathered to watch a 20-minute display of fireworks light up an Independence Day night sky. The event was put on by South Whidbey Assembly of God with donations from dozens of people and businesses. The children ruled the beginning of the day as they relentlessly conquered large inflatable bouncy houses and had their faces painted by volunteers. One such volunteer was Clinton resident Jenny Law, who noticed the eager children slightly outnumbered painters and promptly assisted in painting faces. “The lines were looking long, so I decided to help

creativity. She asked for blue and red hearts around her eyes and tiger stripes across her cheeks. Many also enjoyed the talents of Magician Jeff Evans, who performed on stage at 7 p.m. During one of his card tricks, Evans relied on a volunteer to pick a card from a deck. But when the volunteer’s card and Evans’ didn’t match at the end of the trick, Evans smiled and claimed that the volunteer “must be wrong.” Whether it was by design or improv, Evans sprinkled doses of humor that entertained both children and adults. “I think it went great, things went without a hitch,” said Matt Chambers, pastor of South Whidbey Assembly of God church. “People loved the entertainment.”
The Total Experience Gospel Choir took the stage shortly after 8 p.m. Founded in 1973 by Patrinell “Pat” Wright, who still leads the group, the choir has performed for well-known figures in the U.S., such as former President Bill Clinton, as well as recording a track on Dave Matthews’ CD “Some Devil.” “I always have fun up there,” Wright said. “I love what it does for me. It has been such a blessing.” The choir has traveled to 28 countries, such as Russia, Germany and Japan, over the course of its 42-year history. Wright’s favorite song out of the choir’s performance was “Be Grateful.” “The meaning behind it is that you’re still here, so be grateful,” Wright said. “It could be your last time.”
Next up was Maggie’s Fury, a seven-person band from Bellingham, who performed using a variety of instruments including the banjo, fiddle, and flute. Combining melodies of the Irish fiddle and harmonies likened to Eastern Canadian Maritime traditions, the band touched upon modern folk, Irish, and Celtic rock. While the event ran smoothly, things weren’t perfect, according to Chambers. The number of concession stands were down from a year ago. “We were down on a few concessions, I wish we had a few more,” Chambers said. “We typically have had a little more variety. But some businesses have gone out of business or moved off the island.” Vendors served a variety of foods such as egg rolls, veggie fry noodles, chicken curry, and, of course, American favorites like hot dogs, hamburgers, curly fries, and cotton candy. While they may have had fewer vendors, there were more volunteers this year, according to Chambers. “The thing I want to communicate is that we appreciate immensely the community support,” Chambers said. “It’s the community that finances the whole thing, so we appreciate all their support.”

Temperatures in the upper 80s didn’t deter spectators and entrants from participating in the 100th annual Maxwelton Parade this weekend. Around 2,000 people gathered on Maxwelton Road to celebrate community and independence for the nearly annual street spectacle around 1 p.m. Saturday. The parade was led by grand marshals and longtime organizers Ken and Dana Gilroy, who opened the Fourth of July festivities by riding in a vintage red convertible. A tradition in the Maxwelton community since the turn of century, the parade saw scores of moving entertainment, from elaborate floats to walking political and social costumes. Clinton residents Robby Coale, Don Zontine, and Mike Clyburn were among a group that use the parade each year as a way of conveying current societal and political issues. Harnessing backpack frames as their props, the group hoisted puppets and signs like the one Clyburn wore, which read, “The voice of the people is stronger than the sound of money.” “We’ve always been somewhat active in politics and social issues,” Clyburn said. “My wife is an artist and so I always have a message. My thinking is: Black letters on the white sign. Write down the words I want people to see. We just try to make it a

Jerry Kaufman, 76, isn’t a fan of watching parades from the sidelines — he and his wife Jeri couldn’t hold back grins as they sported clown costumes. “I think parades are boring as hell,”

A parade participant, dressed like the Uncle Sam cartoon and standing next a Spider-Man mannequin, doffs his cap and waves to the crowds. Jerry said. “The only reason I come to them because I want to be in it. I just enjoy it.” The hot and dry weather didn’t seem to bother the Kaufmans, but it concerned parade organizer Bob Brooks. “We brought in some water to be sure people had hydration,” Brooks said. Brooks said there slightly fewer spectators than years past, but more entrants. The shift actually caused a slight mishap internally for the organizers. “We ran out of entry forms, so
some papers were in different colors,” Brooks said. Though the costumes and float designs have changed in size and sophistication compared to the early years of the event, Brooks enjoys the parade just the same. “To me it’s very simple: It reminds me of the way things were in the ‘50s,” Brooks said. “It was before life got complicated. People were just enjoying life as if there wasn’t a worry in the world. And there was nothing too fancy about. If you just had a bike with a flag, that was fine. Anything worked.”
