Keaton Farris was just 25 years old when he died from dehydration in the Island County Jail April 8. A detective’s long-awaited investigation into the tragedy was released this week.

Father’s Day protest to send message to jail, sheriff ’s officeBy JESSIE STENSLANDCo-Editor

“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, said the sheriff’s office.Chief De Dennis, the jail administrator, was suspended for 30

days without pay and his continued employment is uncertain, Brown said.

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 mental-health issue.

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

The goal, Fred Farris said, is to ensure that such a needless trag-edy never happens again.

Navy firing back at jet noise lawsuitCOER claims Navy is not presenting ‘real’ sound dataBy JANIS REIDStaff reporter

The Navy asked a federal judge to deny a citizen group’s demand that aircraft operations be halted at Outlying Field Coupeville.

The Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, sued the Navy in 2013 claiming that the noise associated with the EA-18G Growler pilot train-ing is damaging the health of those living under the OLF flight path.

In response, Navy attorneys said in recent court documents that the request for “injunc-tive relief” should be denied because COER’s “injuries … are not sufficient to rise to the level of irreparable harm” and that it would be det-rimental to both Navy operations and national security.

Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, is among a handful of Navy brass and experts who responded in written legal declarations in sup-port of continued training at OLF.

Performing touch-and-go operations at NAS Whidbey’s Ault Field instead of OLF produces a back up of other types of flight operations because the Field Carrier Landing Practice, or FCLPs, are a “closed pattern” that can’t be interrupted, Nortier said.

In addition, moving the operations to the more dense Oak Harbor area would affect more people.

“The population surrounding Ault Field is greater than that surrounding OLF Coupeville, which means noise impacts from aircraft opera-tions at Ault Field impact a greater number of people than at Coupeville,” Nortier said.

OLF Coupeville is crucial to pilot training because it provides “a realistic environment in which to practice FCLPs,” according to a decla-ration of Capt. Benjamin Hewlett, commander of NAS Whidbey’s Carrier Air Wing I.

“Night carrier operations are the highest risk operations in aviation, but night combat opera-tions are critical to mission success because of the diminished capability of the enemy,” Hewlett said.

If pilots are not able to practice FCLPs in “an environment as ideal as OLF Coupeville” before going aboard a carrier it “will degrade

Like loganberries in the summer, rumblings about a future partnership between the Port of Coupeville and Washington State University may be coming to fruition.

After being directly ques-tioned by a member of the public, port Commissioner Marshall Bronson confirmed last week that he’s had ongo-ing conversations about the possibility of WSU coming to the port-owned Greenbank Farm.

Bronson also said WSU wants to hold a public meet-ing.

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 con-tract, the port will take over leases at the start of the new year. The management group will still serve as prop-erty managers and work in collaboration with the port as it assumes more responsibili-ties at the farm.

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

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

PORT COMMISSION-ER Mike Diamanti said he only learned Bronson was having the conversations about a week before the meeting, but he was happy to hear a public meeting was being planned.

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

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

At that time, WSU offi-cials expressed interest in a partnership but said it could not serve as manager of the farm.

DAVID DAY, executive

director of the port, con-firmed this week that con-versations 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 additional WSU programs to Whidbey Island.

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

PRICE JOHNSON said it’s still unknown if it’s even feasible to have WSU at the farm and that the univer-sity is waiting to see if the state Legislature is going to fund new degree programs, including degrees in agricul-ture.

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

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

“I know that’s created some anxiety for tenants,” she said.

“But they are tenants in a public facility and the process will be public. Regardless of the outcome of the Greenbank Farm dis-cussions, having WSU in our backyard is not only great for our residents through pro-viding educational options; it

is highly valuable through the collaborative expansion of economic development activities, technology trans-fer and creative partner-ships.”

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 orga-nization.

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 uni-versity coming to the farm, including increased oppor-tunities in bringing visitors from off island.

“It could be amazing,” Day said.

THEN THERE’S also the question of where at the farm WSU could go.

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

If office space were need-ed, 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 dis-cussed and hopes it will pro-vide 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 syn-ergy here and we hope they recognize that,” Feldman said.

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

As of Aug. 3, the wheels on the 411 bus will no longer go ‘round and ‘round.

And Island Transit offi-cials want to know what rid-ers and everyone else thinks about it.

Beginning next Monday, staff members are hold-ing a series of community meetings to let people know what’s happening and gath-er public input on both of the 411 routes.

“We just want the feed-back,” said interim Director Ken Graska. “We want to know whether people think it’s a valuable service or not.”

IT staff members will also discuss possible alterna-tives, such as van pools and car pools, he said.

The 411W is the only bus route that takes peo-ple off Whidbey Island. It currently runs from Oak Harbor to March Point near Anacortes. It is scheduled to end service Aug. 2 because state funding dried up.

Such a change would be many months away, if it hap-pens at all.

The following dates, times and locations are sched-uled on Whidbey for Island Transit’s community meet-ings regarding the upcom-ing change in the 411W/C service:

n Oak Harbor Library, Monday, June 22, 5–6 p.m.

n Freeland Library, Thursday, June 25, 5–6 p.m.

n Oak Harbor Library, Wednesday, July 15, 6–7 p.m.

The Port of Coupeville, which owns Greenback Farm, must decide on how best to operate the historic farm which has been dogged with financial troubles in recent years.

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

Shirley’s Kitchen, a long-time food stand located next to the Clinton Ferry Terminal, was destroyed by an unex-plained 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 in front of the shell of her business, Wilson struggled to keep from break-ing down. It’s a devastating financial loss, she said, 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 liveli-hood on a trailer to take to the county dump.

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

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

The blaze began at about 8 p.m. after the place was locked up for the evening. The fire appears to have start-ed 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 fire-fighters responded. 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 undeter-mined, due to the extent of the damage inside, but its ori-gin was confirmed in the back of the building near a piece of kitchen machinery. Beck esti-mated damages at $75,000 for the contents and $45,000 for the building. Along with the extra food supplies, Wilson had a brand new computer inside that was destroyed and had just topped off her pro-pane tanks.

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

“She’s been part of the

community a long time, cer-tainly a missed business on the South End if she doesn’t reopen,” he said.

The business was known for being a place for teen-agers to get their first job. Even some of the firefighters who worked to extinguish the blaze were counted among them.

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

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

“It was a fun place to work,” she said.

Lance Gibbon may be the head of the Oak Harbor School District, but he still gets a report card.

This year, he could hang it on the fridge.

The school board gave the superintendent a glow-ing evaluation, calling his performance excellent. He received “distinguished” — the highest rating — in several categories, including working closely with fami-lies and others in the com-munity.

“We are extremely pleased with the job he’s done so far,” said school board President Peter Hunt.

The school board also proposed giving the super-intendent a 5.7 percent raise for the next school year. If it’s approved during the next board meeting, Gibbon would earn $155,177. He also would receive an annu-al annuity of $11,324 and $250-a-month travel allow-ance.

The superintendent didn’t receive a pay raise last year because it was too early to make judgments about his performance, Hunt said.

“We were reluctant last year,” he said. “We didn’t have measurable results.”

Since Gibbon took the superintendent job in 2013, standardized test scores and graduation rates, a key focus of the district, are up. The number of students who graduated from Oak Harbor High School in four years rose from around 76 percent in 2012 to just under 85 per-cent last year. The state aver-age in 2013, the most recent year available, is 76 percent.

Last year, the district added iGrad Academy, a program that allows stu-dents who dropped out to complete their degrees by taking online classes. When students who need extra time are added into the mix, the high school’s graduation rate sits at 87 percent.

The board praised Gibbon for going to “great lengths to

ensure that communications with parents and the com-munity are as seamless as possible” and advocating at the state and federal level for policy changes and money for capital needs.

“Dr. Gibbon possesses both a long-term vision of where he sees Oak Harbor schools in the future and the ability to devise practical steps toward achieving this goal,” according to the evalu-ation. “He works tirelessly in all facets of the superinten-dent job and never allows an opportunity to improve student learning to slip by.”

Gibbon was hired in 2013 after serving six years as Oak Harbor’s assistant superintendent.

That same year, voters approved a $7.35 million levy that pays for teachers and support staff, technol-ogy upgrades, textbooks and more.

Gibbon’s wise spending of that levy money is partly why the district is doing well, Hunt said.

School superintendent earns a passing grade

Inside a home overlooking Puget Sound above a bluff not far from West Beach Road, the lights have glowed late on recent nights.

No oil lamps were needed to be lit like the days when they were children grow-ing up in London, England. Instead, modern convenienc-es were able to illuminate the home and warm up tea for long nights of storytelling.

“They’ve been staying up late at night, telling us stories,” said Judith Moses. “We’ve just been in stitches.”

For the first time in 64

years, give or take a year, depending on who’s recollect-ing, four siblings enjoyed a much anticipated reunion in Coupeville this week.

Three of them came from different continents, converg-ing on the Coupeville home of their sister Lyn Moses, all together for the first time since they were teenagers in their hometown of London more than half century ago.

Jim Honan, the eldest sib-ling at 82, came with his wife from their home in London, Ontario.

Edward Honan flew in from Bundaberg, a city in Queensland, Australia.

Yvonne Lundon, the baby of the bunch, traveled from her home in Waterford, Ireland.

“There’s been more laugh-ter here than I reckon in a long time,” said Edward in his Australian accent.

Jim Honan and Lundon ini-tiated the plan to get the broth-ers and sisters all together again, Lyn Moses said.

They have all visited each other over the years, just not together at the same time.

“She was afraid we were getting older and wouldn’t meet again,” Lyn Moses said of her sister.

The long separation meant

a lot of catching up in so little time with the visit lasting less than a week for some.

Edward Honan has record-ed many conversations so the stories can be shared with later generations.

“They probably won’t be able to hear it because there’s so much giggling and laugh-ter,” Yvonne said.

The stories are profound.As children, they lived in

bomb-riddled London during World War II and could recall the relentless sound of air raid sirens and buzz of V-1 flying bombs known as buzz bombs and doodlebugs that Germany rained down on Great Britain.

They remembered carry-ing gas masks everywhere, getting in lines for food rations, attending school in makeshift underground structures with water on the floor and watching people saw legs off chairs for fire-

wood.When they rose each day,

it wasn’t a surprise to learn that a friend’s home had been reduced to rubble overnight, Lundon said.

“People don’t know how lucky they are today,” said Jim Honan, a retired police officer.

The worst part was the separation.

As bombings intensified, the Honan children joined more than 1 million British children who were evacu-ated out of the city to areas of lesser risk.

Lyn Moses, who was 9 at the time, remembers the unnerving feeling of boarding a train and seeing children wearing tags attached to their coats that had their names and towns they were coming from.

They arrived in Holyhead, North Whales and were taken by bus to a town hall building and told to sit on

camp beds until they learned where they would be staying.

“We hung on to each other,” Moses said. “People came down like it was a cattle sale.”

Boys were picked first because they were strong and sturdy, she said, and her brothers went their separate ways while she and her sister were able to stay together in the same North Whales home.

Jim Honan worked in a fish and chips shop, while Edward toiled in a bakery.

The four rarely saw each other except when they were in school. Jim, however, didn’t attend school because of work.

“He snuck down to see us,” Yvonne said.

It would be about a year until it was safe enough for the siblings to return home

U.S. and coalition combat effectiveness while creating unacceptable risks for the aviators and crew members.”

Hewlett said that the presence of the Growler, an electronic attack aircraft, in recent operations against ISIS are so critical that missions are frequently aborted if the there is not aircraft or pilot availability.

The Navy also stated in court docu-ments that it is not in violation with the National Environmental Protection Act, as COER alleges, and that the original Environmental Assessment they con-ducted in 2005 was in keeping with both Department of Defense and Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

In addition to making a case for continued use of OLF for touch-and-go training, the Navy said that it believes the scientific data presented by COER is “flawed” and doesn’t reveal any infor-mation that wasn’t already presented by the Navy.

COER’s claim that the Growler’s pre-decessor, the EA-6B Prowler, is quieter is unsubstantiated, according to the declaration of Joseph Czech, senior

lead engineer with Wyle Laboratories, which conducts Navy noise studies.

“The sound level of the EA-18G has an increased low-frequency con-tent, which accounts for complaints of greater vibrations from the EA-18G as compared to the EA-6B, but the overall single-event sound level of the EA-18G is lower in most flight profiles,” Czech said.

The Navy is ignoring the harm jet noise causes residents and is seeking to have their motion denied “primar-ily on the basis of technical procedural issues,” COER said in a news release this week.

“The Navy’s response should serve as a warning to other communities being targeted for ‘warfare training’ across the country,” said COER mem-ber Ken Pickard in the news release. “The Navy is willing to harm the very people and environment it is sworn to protect — and do so in the name of ‘national security.’”

COER says the scientific data pre-sented by Navy should not be consid-ered because is not based on “real” sound, according to COER spokeper-son Cate Andrews.

The Navy does not record actual noise levels specific to each noise study, but uses the Department of Defense’s

NOISEMAP modeling software that draws on a database of aircraft sound and then factors in criteria specific to the area. These criteria can include runway coordinates, weather data, pre-vious flight tracks, altitude and aircraft specs.

A day-night average sound is reached to determine the affect over a 24-hour period, according to court documents.

This day-night average has little rel-evance to a nearby resident who is experiencing more than 100 decibels several times per hour during touch-and-gos, said Cate Andrews, COER spokesperson.

“We’re talking about real sound,” Andrews said. “It’s a critical difference. The modeling has no relevance.”

The Navy maintains that noise mod-eling provides better data than simply recording the sound.

“Noise modeling, rather than noise measurements taken with monitors, is used to assess noise exposure, because this is the most accurate and compre-hensive method of estimating airfield noise exposure,” said Ted Brown, U.S. Fleet Forces Command spokesman.

The Navy started an expanded Environmental Impact Statement on the Growlers in 2013 and expects it to be complete in 2017.

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

Recreational and cooking

fires will be allowed only in approved fire pits lined with concrete or metal, such as those located at established campgrounds.

Outdoor cooking will also be allowed on a propane barbecue, a barbecue with briquettes or a self-contained camp stove.

n In the June 17 issue of the Whidbey News-Times, the arti-cle “Flyover, bigger fireworks display in store for Oak Harbor on July 4,” the number of air-craft involved in the flyover was misstated. A single EA-18G Growler will be performing the July 4 flyover.n The June 17 article, “Oak Harbor schools serving lunches

‘rain or shine’,” contained inac-curate information. The meals will be served using the Boys & Girls Club at the Roller Barn which can accommodate about 140 children. Other locations may become available if NAS Whidbey can get approval to use Navy housing community centers. We regret the errors.

Treatment plant

Wastewater complex will be ‘massive’Editor,

On Wednesday of this week most of the Oak Harbor City Council toured the location of the new waste-water treatment plant at the edge of Windjammer Park. As members of the public, we were allowed to follow along.

What are they thinking? The deci-sion to build this extremely large complex of buildings right in the center of town is absurd. It will dwarf everything in the entire Pioneer Way area.

We are told “the decision is made.” It is a wrong decision, but for some reason the city council members are more concerned now about saving face than they are about the long-term fate of our city.

What are they thinking?By the time the public sees how

huge this complex of buildings actu-ally are, it will be too late, too late to save the uniqueness of Windjammer Park.

Make no mistake, this enormous group of buildings, some 35 feet tall,

will be within 150 feet of the windmill. Too late to have an area of downtown with commercial tax revenue produc-ing business, because astute busi-ness people will see, along with all the rest of us, a massive sewer treat-ment plant between Pioneer Way and our beautiful salt water harbor.

What are they thinking?Susan MyersOak Harbor

Island Transit

Grateful for service paratransit providesEditor,

Paratransit deserves a gold medal for outstanding service. They are to be commended in that they serve 250-300 people per day, aiding the elderly and disabled to live a more independent lifestyle.

Drivers are always helpful, consid-erate and caring. They deal daily with elderly people, wheelchair patients, dialysis patients and disabled people, securing them in their various seats and showing respect for them and their needs.

They will get you wherever you wish go on the island, picking you up

from your doorstep and back home again with no worries about being forgotten or left behind.

Many of the employees are on the job by 3:30 a.m. in the dark of the night when the rest of us are sleep-ing.

Those who live on a fixed income appreciate the fact that this is a fare-free service, one of the only such operations in the state of Washington.

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

Pit bull

Why hasn’t dangerous dog been put down?Editor,

An interesting fact that you might not be aware of is, last Saturday, a pitbull that resided somewhere in the neighborhood got out once again and ventured over to a neighbor’s house and killed her dog in front of her.

SEE LETTERS, A7

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 sis-ters 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-holds-barred report on the series of unfathomable errors that led to Keaton Farris’ death are damning.

Farris died from dehydration and malnutrition under the watch of jailers, government employees entrusted by the community to watch over people who are essentially power-less.

Keaton’s death indicates that members of a sheriff’s admin-istration who 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 ultimately

responsibility for the errors that occurred in the jail, as he should.

Brown 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

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITORThe dog killed was very old and

actually had an assisted walking device. Blood was all over the walkway and driveway.

I came home to witness four cop cars in front of the neighbor’s house and one officer washing the blood off my fian-cee’s hands and arms from her trying to get the dog off the poor victim.

The owner of the pit bull decided not to venture to the house to offer any form of help, yet decided to send her boyfriend, who sat on the front of the cop car quietly.

This has not been this dog’s first attack, and it has repeatedly gotten out and terrorized the neighborhood. Just last week, the dog attacked two gals walking their bulldog. Luckily, they were able to get away without any major injury to them or their dog. The police were called during that incident but nothing was done about it.

Due to animal control and the police department’s lack of commitment to the community, this animal was allowed to destroy a family’s life.

We have many children that play in the street and even walk their dogs. God forbid if one of these children was ever killed by this dog.

In fact, someone from the pit bull owner’s family put a plea on Craigslist for someone to save their dog.

Do we want this dog going to another community and destroying other lives, or does this family deserve some form of justice or at least an apology from the attacker’s family?

Keven LincksClinton

Self defense should be socially acceptableEditor,

When will enough be enough? We are all horrified when we hear news such as the Charleston, S.C., church massacre. Less than 24 hours after the shooting, President Obama says, “We do know that once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun.”

“At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this kind of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. It is in our power to do something about it.”

n In April, Dylan Roof purchased the handgun from a licensed dealer after passing the required background check.

n Roof carried the loaded gun in violation of a South Carolina state law, which requires a permit to carry a loaded gun in public.

n Roof possessed the loaded gun in a church, which is in violation of a separate South Carolina state law which

makes it illegal to do so (even with a permit) without the specific permission from the church leadership.

n Roof possessed the loaded gun within 1,000 feet of the school, across the street from the church, which vio-lates the Federal Gun Free School Zone Act.

n Roof had the time to reload the handgun five times during the shooting.

Again, I must ask, when will enough be enough? The background check didn’t work. Laws against possessing the firearm didn’t work. Laws such as those have never worked and never will.

What is particularly disturbing is that Roof had the time to reload the firearm five times during the shooting?

One simple fact — it was next to impossible for any of his victims to be able to legally possess and carry a loaded firearm of their own to defend themselves. And that is what the vast majority of mass shootings have in com-mon, not only the unwillingness of the victims to take measures to protect themselves, but more often than not it is also illegal for them to be able to do so.

Don’t get me wrong, the responsibil-ity for this horrible crime falls on one person and one person only -—Dylan Roof. But when will enough be enough and we stop trying to make it more dif-ficult and more socially unacceptable for good people to be able to defend themselves?

Climate change

How do we care for our ‘common home’Editor,

Pope Francis’ encyclical on climate change is a significant document. It not only expands the range of interested parties discussing climate change — it clearly turns the discussion on its head.

Instead of a poverty of resources, like “not enough oil,” our real problem, according to the Pope, is our abuse of wealth. The problem is one of consump-tion, waste, pollution and inequality.

The problem is all the worse for its social disparity — the large disparity between those who qualify to do the consuming and wasting and those who don’t.

So, as the Pope steps from the pul-pit into the real world, the question becomes, “How do we care for our ‘common home,’ God’s creation?”

The pope is particularly tough on fossil fuel. The fossil fuel industry is naturally kicking about the Pope, say-ing that it is a problematic, fossil fuel-based industrial model. Industry says it’s plenty “ethical” — oil removes us from poverty.

Seemingly, the industry sees no downside for its product.

I look forward to reading all 191 pages of the encyclical to see if Pope Francis writes about world conflict around

petroleum. Oil, especially, embodies wealth. It has the amazing combination of energy density and portability. But oil is attracting war like a magnet. We fight over it, and oil-producing countries exchange their oil for weapons and more war.

If this isn’t a poster child for the kind of misuse of wealth that the Pope is talk-ing about, I don’t know what is.

For the combined reasons of misuse of natural wealth and blatant waste of a highly polluting resource, we need to take seriously the Pope’s call. Halfway measures will not work. “Put simply, it is a matter of redefining our notion of progress,” he wrote.

What can guide us to real progress? “Everything is related,” said the Pope, “and we human beings are united as brothers and sisters on a wonderful pilgrimage, woven together for the love God has for each of his creatures and which also unites us in fond affection for brother sun, sister moon, brother river and mother earth.”

Chief Seattle said pretty much the same thing. The science of ecology is all about this.

What will we hear this time? How will we use our wealth? And particularly, will we step up creation care by investing more in alternatives to fossil fuel?

Program

Local support making difference for kidsEditor,

On behalf of the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools, I would like to express our enormous gratitude to the Coupeville businesses that were so generous this past year as participants in the Dine Out/Shop Out 4 Kids Program.

These business donated portions of their proceeds on a chosen day to sup-port CFCPS: Ciao!, The Honey Bear, Aqua, Front Street Grill, Christopher’s and Kapaw’s Ise Kreme. Thanks also to the Knead and Feed for hosting the May 1 dinner event.

Their sustaining participation helped the foundation award two, $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors, as well as over $10,000 in mini grants to support a variety of enriching edu-cational experiences like Career Day, Science Olympiad, Young Authors and fieldtrips to the Seattle Science Center, Washington State History Museum and Cornet Bay Environmental Center, just to name a few.

As they say, “It takes a village …,” and our “village” is very grateful for your support.

This summer, when you shop or dine at these businesses, be sure to say “Thank you!” We couldn’t do what we do for kids without them.

Hazel Marie Riley

Hazel Marie Riley, age 91, died on June 15 in Oak Harbor. She was at home sur-rounded by her family at the time of her passing. Hazel was born on May 12, 1924, in Chicago to Cuyler and Dagmar Wenberg.

Hazel was a woman of faith, family, friendships and countless adventures. Her faith came alive in her teen years. She graduated from Glenbard High School in Ill. and then worked as an administrative assistant at nearby Wheaton College. There, she was part of sing-ing groups that supported the college “preacher boys,” including Billy Graham.

Ernest Frost, an Army Air Force pilot on leave from his WWII duties, met Hazel at the college and a match was made. They were mar-ried on her birthday in 1945. After the war, Ernie was twice recalled to the Air Force to

fly: first for the Berlin Airlift and then for the Korean conflict. This turned into a 20-year flying career for Ernie and to a growing family for Hazel to watch over in the many moves of a military family. Ernest William II – Bill – arrived first, then came Ronald, David and Susan.

In these years, Hazel earned a pilot’s license – a “just in case” measure as she flew at times with Ernie and children on light aircraft. She served others as well, includ-ing support care for Christian workers in Japan and teach-ing conversational English to Japanese teens. In Hawaii, she and Ernie helped with a church plant – the Windward Baptist Church – and offered ongoing hospitality to guests and friends.

After Hawaii came Air Force moves to Utah, South Dakota and Montana. In each setting Ernie, Hazel and the family were active in local churches, and new friend-ships grew around Hazel’s warm hospitality. When Ernie took up a new career in Spokane, Hazel also became a teacher as the children moved into adult life.

She first earned a bach-elor’s degree in English at Whitworth College with a secondary teaching cer-tificate in 1970. One year later, she earned an M.Ed. in counseling and guidance at Whitworth. She then earned her continuing level counselor certification at Gonzaga University in 1975. With her education in place, Hazel served in Spokane as a teacher at Rogers High School. Then, she developed and directed the SCOPE pro-gram for underachieving stu-dents at North Central High School. She later became an administrator and counselor at Shaw Junior High School. This was followed by Hazel launching a small counseling practice.

On the side, Hazel enjoyed water skiing, snow skiing, golfing, knitting, painting, cooking, reading, writing and hosting the many meals and gatherings stirred by her teenage children.

In 1982, Ernie and Hazel both retired from their profes-sional careers and moved to Oak Harbor. They had discov-ered Whidbey Island years earlier during a summer camping trip and wanted that to be their retirement home.

Hazel was widowed with Ernie’s sudden death in 1987.

That family tragedy was followed before long by a family delight. Daughter Susan introduced Hazel to a member of the Oak Harbor Presbyterian Church she was attending. That member, Russell R. Riley, had lost his wife within a month of Ernie’s death. The result was a won-derful match. They were mar-ried on September 17, 1988. Russ had two adult children, David and Brian, from his first marriage. David is his surviving son. Brian, who

died in 2002, was married to Sue Aschinger. Their son is also named Russell.

The Riley bond – a Swede and an Irishman – made for lots of lively conversations and laughs. They loved fishing, golfing and traveling togeth-er. She was competitive well into her eighties. Summers spent at Priest Lake, Idaho – shared with some close friends – were a special treat for both of them. Travels to Germany, England, Sweden and Mexico were highlights too. A Christmas dinner for the extended family is a spe-cial memory Hazel and Russ shared with the clan. In 2010, a set of strokes slowed Hazel down physically but her pres-ence continued to be clear and strong. Special delight came with visiting grandchil-dren and great-grandchil-dren. Hazel’s smiles were never broader than when the small ones came to visit.

Hazel was loved and will be missed by all who knew her. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, June 27, at the San de Fuca Chapel in Coupeville, with a reception following.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share memories or condolences, please visit Hazel’s Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneral home.com

Virginia Clara ‘Ginny’ Dolvin

Virginia Clara ”Ginny” Dolvin died June 3 at Fairhaven Adult Family Home in Oak Harbor at the age of 95.

She was born July 25, 1919, in Philadelphia, Penn., to Richard and Elsie Quimby.

Following high school, Virginia obtained her registered nursing degree at Abington Hospital, near Philadelphia.

In March of 1942, Virginia enlisted in the U.S. Navy and began a long history of ser-

Dolvin

vice to military families.Virginia and the other

nurses received no rank and no civilian clothing. She trav-eled with the first SPARS (women in the U.S Coast Guard) and other women in the military from New York to San Diego on a troop train.

Her military service took her to Brooklyn, Australia, New Guinea, Treasure Island, Philadelphia, Bermuda and Oakland, transferring every 18 months. While in service, Virginia met Sheridan (Lee) Dolvin.

The Navy did not allow married females, so Virginia left active duty on the morn-ing of December 22, 1949, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and that same afternoon, she and Lee were married in Oakland. Lee remained on active duty.

The Navy sent the Dolvin family to Oak Harbor in 1966 and Whidbey became home. Virginia returned to work, serving as a visiting nurse for Navy Relief. Her posi-tion was to serve military families, both active duty and retired, meeting their health care needs at home, assist-ing new moms in caring for their babies and serving as the first hospice nurse for retirees as they neared the end of life.

Ginny also served as a volunteer instructor for the American Red Cross, teaching first aid and CPR courses. She was also a part of the faculty for Skagit Valley College, teach-ing the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course.

Virginia retired from Navy Relief staff but continued to be a volunteer. She logged over 10,000 hours of volun-teer service. In addition to her home visits, she was an avid knitter, making hundreds of layettes for new moms. She also enjoyed needlepoint.

For several years, she worked for Dorothy Gaethel at the yarn and knitting shop on Pioneer Way. Virginia was a longtime member and past manager of the Duplicate Bridge Club.

Virginia is survived by one daughter, Susan Dolvin of Oak Harbor; by two grand-children, Jeff Crandall and Jessica Crandall; and great-grandchildren, Cattabrie, Gabriel and Matei. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lee, and son-in-law, Alan Harris.

Virginia requested no for-mal funeral services be con-ducted. Cremation was held. Burial at sea will follow, with full military honors under the auspices of the U.S. Navy.

ISLAND LIVINGWHIDBEY

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

When Frances Sweeney was a young girl, one of her childhood sanctuaries was her grandparents’ home in Los Alamitos, Calif.

She remembers the chili peppers in their garden, the eucalyptus trees and the orange groves nearby.

After her grandfather died in 1969, her grand-mother finally relented to the demands of a developer and sold the land.

The next time Sweeney

visited the property, her heart sank.

The tropical neighborhood of former one acre-lots was replaced by condominiums, apartments and a strip mall.

“It my broke my heart,” she said.

The mental scar from that memory still resonates with Frances Sweeney, creating an awareness, appreciation and wisdom that has followed her in life.

Over the past 26 years, she and her husband Kelly built their own dream on 10 woodsy acres on Whidbey Island and they’re deter-mined to let that dream live on long after they’re no longer around to enjoy it themselves.

The Sweeneys recently worked with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust to place a conservation easement on their Greenbank property, essentially giving up devel-opment rights to them or anyone who owns the land in the future.

The Sweeneys still own the property. The legal agree-

ment just means that land must remain in the state that they’ve cherished ever since they bought the property, cleared a portion of the inte-rior to build a modest home and planted a vast orchard of nut trees that has turned the place into somewhat of a wildlife wonderland.

“This is a place of beauty,” Kelly Sweeney said. “We’re living in harmony with nature.”

That sort of harmony is the reason the Sweeneys fell in love with the property the moment they saw a “for

sale” sign while they were on a camping trip to nearby South Whidbey State Park in 1989.

They put in an offer that day, then Frances and her “Uncle Roy” built a house while Kelly, a mer-chant mariner, was out to sea.

The home is surrounded by six forested acres of mature trees that were left untouched.

The property features a seasonal stream on the east end of the land that already dry this time of year.

The Sweeneys’ pride and joy is a the vast nut orchard on both sides of the home that includes about 150 hazel-nut trees, 100 walnut trees and another 50 trees of vari-ous nut species.

They planted them all themselves decades ago and took cuttings to start new ones.

With no children of their own, the Sweeneys jokingly refer to the trees as their “kids” and “grandkids.”

“They were born and raised here,” Kelly said with a smile. “Needless to say, we’re attached to our trees.”

The bounty of nuts that are produced make the Sweeneys popular with local wildlife. They also serve well Frances’ love for baking and Kelly’s sweet tooth.

Many baking ingredients are supplied on the property

through the Sweeneys’ wide variety of berries they grow in their spacious organic garden -- surrounded by a tall fence to keep out deer -- and nearly two-dozen egg laying hens that roam the land.

“We’ve never used pesti-cides once,” Kelly said.

“We both grew up in the city,” Frances said. “This place has taught us to work with nature and in nature.”

Located off Baaken Road, the Sweeneys are a short drive away from the State Route 525 yet are in their own world on their secluded, peaceful property.

Kelly is a licensed ship cap-tain on commercial vessels, magazine contributor and

author of the book, “From The Bridge,” capturing his experiences on the sea. For the past eight years, the couple has run a business out of their home called Maritime Headhunters, which helps other sea captains from around the world find crew on short notice.

The business keeps Kelly home rather than away at sea. And home is where he wants to be.

Out of their love for their property and the island, and knowledge of past lessons, the Sweeneys approached the Whidbey Camano Land Trust in an effort to keep their land the way it is, even after they’re gone.

“For them, it’s really about leaving a legacy,” said Janelle Castro, communications and outreach manager with the land trust. “They truly love their land. For them to know that it’s going to stay the way it is after they’re gone is very important and comforting to them.”

The Sweeneys also hoped they might serve as an example to encourage other small landowners to do the same to keep Whidbey wild and beautiful.

“We’re just two average people wanting to do this,” Kelly said.

In the time they’ve lived on Whidbey, they point to the development along Mukilteo

Speedway across the water from Clinton as a place they’ve seen transformed in a major way in a relatively short period of time.

“It’s not like this could never happen here,” Frances said. “It can happen.

“We know what can hap-pen to beautiful places.”

Under the legal agree-ment, customized with restrictions by the Sweeneys, the land must remain its single-family residence state on 10 acres with no further development in perpetuity regardless who owns the property in the future.

“In perpetuity,” Frances said, breaking into a laugh.

“I love that word.”

The Greenbank property of Frances and Kelly Sweeney features an orchard that consists of about 300 nut trees from hazelnuts to walnuts to others. The couple has partnered with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust to place a conservation easement on the land.

Legal agreement with land trust will preserve unique Greenbank property

Young hazelnuts are starting to show in the Sweeneys’ front yard from trees they played decades ago. Frances Sweeney led the effort to build the couple’s home after they bought the 10 acres and cleared about four of them to make room for the house and orchards.

to London.“It was traumatic,” Lyn

Moses said. “You can’t talk to Jimmy about it. He won’t discuss it with you.”

Understanding that sort of separation and love for each other made this week’s reunion all the more special.

Jim Honan said he believes the last time the four of them were together was at about the time he went into the British Army at age 18.

His brother soon followed and eventually they all started going their separate ways to different points across the globe.

To celebrate their reunion, the siblings held a party attended by about 30 fam-ily members and friends at the Can-Do-Inn at the Rocky Point Recreation Area in Oak Harbor Thursday.

It also served as a surprise birthday party for Yvonne.

“If I would’ve known, I would have done my hair,” Yvonne said. “They’re ter-

rible.”They talked about another

reunion at the party. Judith Moses, Lyn’s daughter, was already in tears thinking about the farewell with the siblings going their separate ways again Saturday, June 20.

With a 19-hour time dif-ference between Queensland and Coupeville, Skype com-munications haven’t been easy on Edward.

“We’d like to get together again,” Yvonne said. “You never know.”

Picture an old-fashioned country garden overlook-ing an expanse of blue sea. Or a backyard garden alive with birds flirting between Japanese maple and dwarf conifers.

These are a couple of the gardens that will be drawing a 1,000 or so visitors during the ever-popular Whidbey Island Garden Tour.

Five gardens, from Coupeville to Bayview, will be on this year’s tour, which is set for Saturday, June 20.

Tickets are available at Bayview Farm & Garden, Chocolate Flower Farm Store, Flowers By The Bay, Sally’s Garden and Lavender Wind Farm’s Coupeville

store. Tickets are limited to 1,000.

South Whidbey resident June Davis is on the garden selection committee and also agreed to open her own yard to the garden tourists.

She said the gardens were chosen to showcase a variety of sizes, designs and styles so they should be something interesting for just about everyone.

It’s not difficult for the group to find great gardens for the tour year after year, she said. She said people tattle on folks with remark-able landscapes.

“If you have a great gar-den,” she said, “people know and then they turn you in.”

She said it’s a perfect event for local gardeners, who love to share their gar-

dens and to visit other gar-dens.

“If you’re going to have a garden, the best way to learn is to go on a garden tour,” she said.

It’s also a great way to raise some money for the community. Small grant are given out to “causes and non-profit organizations that support the improve-ment, restoration, and main-tenance of our common habitat,” according to the group’s website.

Whidbey Island Garden Tour, Inc., an all-volunteer, nonprofit group, has given

out more than $300,000 over the last 19 years.

For the first time this year, the group is holding a photo contest.

The winner will receive two tickets to the 2016 tour. Photos must be of the 2015 gardens and be taken dur-ing the tour or pre-tour, June 19 or 20. All entries must be emailed to wigt@whidbey.net by June 30.

Visit the group’s website, wigt.org, for more informa-tion about the tour and the gardens.

Kathy Mouw of Oak Harbor submitted this photo. She said she has finally discovered the reason her bird feeders are empty on a daily basis.

He asked that people gather at the Community Green 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.

ISLAND COUNTY Coroner Robert Bishop reported that Farris died from dehydration, but malnutri-tion 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 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.

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 com-prehensive analysis of the facility, especially those confined to “safety cells.”

“I want to know why the prob-lems 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 inves-tigate 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’ fam-

ily. He said he doesn’t know if the family will sue and such an eventual-ity isn’t guiding his actions.

Brown conceded that larger issues are at play in the death, par-ticularly 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 administra-tor. He will be working closely with Undersheriff Kelly Mauck.

MISSING FROM Wallace’s report, Fred Farris said, is the fam-ily’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.”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. In fact, he said, McCarthy violated the policy when she allowed Keaton Farris’ aunt to visit his cell early in his incarceration.

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

Fred Farris said his son had a happy, normal childhood growing up on both Lopez Island and Central Whidbey. He was a goofy kid who adored his sisters.

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

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

Keaton Farris was 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 inci-dent and had no criminal record.

RECORDS FROM 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 sto-len, 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 suspi-cious man at a bank. Farris told an officer that he was “off his meds”

and that he was projecting his thoughts at people inside the bank, Wallace wrote.

R e c o r d s from the Lynnwood jail indicate that he had prescrip-tion Lorazepam when he arrived. Under a cooperative a g r e e m e n t between jails, he was trans-ferred to S n o h o m i s h

County Jail, where staff members indicated in paperwork that he was “gravely disabled,” was presenting symptoms of psychosis and needed a mental health evaluation before leaving the jail.

A “medical slip” of paper indicated that he tested positive for amphet-amines, THC and Lorazepam and possibly suffered from bipolar disor-der, Wallace wrote.

FARRIS WAS transferred to Skagit County on March 24. He was origi-nally supposed to be transferred the day before, but he appar-ently resisted and was tasered in Snohomish County.

In Skagit County, he was non-communicative and resisted jail-ers; he was placed is restraints. A Skagit official warned the Island County jail lieutenant that two cor-rections deputies would be needed to transport Farris because of his unpredictable behavior.

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

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

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

Farris was initially placed in a blue-padded safety cell but was moved to a single-person cell March 30. His cell was designated as a “safety cell,” which means 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 esti-mated that Farris’ consumption of water and other fluids during his time at the jail was about 185 ounc-es 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 sur-vival in an emergency situation.

“The number could be lower since we cannot confirm that he consumed all the water/fluids pro-vided,” Wallace wrote. “It could be higher as well since there were win-dows 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.

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 dis-seminated or explained.

Wallace details a series of instanc-es in which the corrections depu-ties 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 well-being.

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 con-cerned about the possibility of him choking and alerted McCarthy, who told him to leave Farris alone because of the possibility that he would assault a deputy.

The Sheriff’s Office 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 feeding 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.

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 unco-operative,” Wallace wrote.

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

San Juan County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord said Farris was origi-nally 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 well-documented 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 offi-cials 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 trans-ferred 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.

ISLAND COUNTY commission-ers received Wallace’s report and were briefed by the sheriff and attorney’s from the county’s insur-ance pool.

Commissioner Jill Johnson noted the multiple opportunities to help Farris that were missed from the time of his arrest until his death. A press release from the board also emphasized this point and stated the three commission-ers are outraged and heartbroken.

“Our 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,” the press release states.

The commissioners said they are committed to working with both the Sheriff’s Office and the Health Department to fix the prob-lems.

WHILE THE sheriff’s office is an independent department, the county commissioners set the bud-gets for all the county agencies. Brown has been outspoken about a need for more personnel, both on the road and in the jail; he has received additional funds for more staff members in both places but not as much as he wanted through a proposed law-and-justice levy.

Brown stresses, however, that Farris’ death was not caused by a lack of manpower, but rather a “perfect storm” of negligence, fail-ures and shoddy oversight.

Part of the solution, however, may be more staff members in the jail, Brown said.

JAIL DEATHCONTINUED FROM A1

BROWN:

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