The history of Old Glory

By Ray Still Special to the Journal

It was a turning point in the war. George Washington had just crossed the Delaware River, capturing the town of Trenton from British-allied German forces and defending the town against a counterattack led by the Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis in the dawning days of 1777.

It was that summer when the Continental Congress adopted the official stars and stripes of America, signing the official resolution on June 14 to accept the red, white and blue colors as the flag of the new country.

But it would be another 172 years before President Harry Truman would officially declare June 14 as Flag Day in the U.S. on Aug. 3, 1949, and between the early years of the revolutionary war and the height of the second Red Scare, Old Glory went through many changes before becoming what we see today.

Early years

Even before the Continental Congress officially accepted an early variation of the stars and stripes, revolutionary troops hoisted similar colors in battle.

Known as the Congress Colors or the Grand Union Flag, it had 13 red and white alternating stripes to represent the 13

colonies.

Instead of stars in the corner on a blue field, though, the flag wore the Union flag of England, with the red cross of St. George of England and the white cross of St. Andrew of Scotland.

The stars replaced the Union Flag when Congress adopted the official flag in 1777.

“The flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white,” the resolution read, “and that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation.”

However, the resolution did not specify how the stars were to be arranged, so many flags had different patterns of stars during those early years.

Some flags had no pattern for the stars, while others were already being arranged into rows.

One of the most recognizable early flags, though, is the Betsy Ross flag, known for arranging the 13 stars in a circle.

Although Betsy Ross is credited with making the first American flag, historians claim her version of the American flag didn’t appear until the early 1790s.

However, it is also known Betsy Ross made flags for the Pennsylvania state Navy in 1777.

The claim that Betsy Ross made the first flag started in 1870 by one of her grand-

sons, who was certain he remembered Congress approaching his grandmother to make a flag from a design George Washington himself drew in their back parlor.

Stars and stripes

When Kentucky and Vermont were brought into the Union, another resolution was passed by Congress to expand the flag to 15 stripes and 15 stars.

It was this flag that Francis Scott Key saw when he wrote, “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1814.

In 1818, President James Monroe signed a bill reducing the number of stripes back to 13 to represent the original colonies.

The bill also increased the number of stars to 20, and a new star would be added on the Fourth of July every year a new state was admitted into the Union.

When Hawaii joined the U.S. as the 50th state in 1960, the flag we are familiar with now was first raised on July 4, 1960 at 12:01 a.m.

The flag of the future

When Puerto Rico supported a nonbinding referendum to become America’s 51st state in 2012, many people realized some major changes may need to happen to the nation’s flag in order to incorporate a new

star if the U.S. were to accept Puerto Rico into the Union.

Although no official effort by the U.S. government has been made to research a new flag pattern, many social media users took it upon themselves to come up with their own unique mock-up designs.

As the flag is now, there are five horizontal rows of six stars and four horizontal rows of five stars in an alternating pattern.

One of the more simple flag mock-ups changes this to three horizontal rows of nine stars alternating with three rows of eight stars, totaling 51 stars.

A more artful and nostalgic mock-up, perhaps drawing inspiration from Betsy Ross, places the stars in concentric circles, with the outside edge consisting of 20 stars, the next circle 15 stars, then 10, five, and a lone star filling the middle.

Another flag mock-up keeps the star design the flag currently wears, but adds a 51st star to the middle row, extending the traditionally rectangular blue field with a small blue triangle that encroaches on the 3rd, 4th and 5th stripes of the flag.

Fancier mock-ups include arranging the 51 stars in overlapping diamond shapes, forming star patterns and even playing with the sizes of the stars, forming a rectangle of 50 smaller stars with one larger star in the center.

Teaching the rules of the road to orca watchers

By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

Local islanders at Lime Kiln State Park watched from the shore as a kayaker got out of his craft, put on snorkel gear and got into the water when orcas were nearby June 7. According to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, there are civil penalties up to $11,000 and other repercussions for feeding, harassing, or approaching orca whales within 200 yards.

A similar occurrence happened in Kitsap County, June 12, when residents called 911 to report boats and personal watercraft getting too close to orcas in Dyes Inlet.

Federal regulations dictate that boats and water crafts keep out of whales’ path by at least 400 yards.

The regulations reflect the orcas’ endangered status, and the understanding that vessels have a big impact on orcas, including their ability to hunt and communicate if boats come too close.

“I think in general people are very receptive once you explain why the rules are there,” said Elizabeth Seely, program coordinator of Soundwatch Boater Education Program. “When you explain the impact that people have on the whales, they’re really receptive to following the federal regulations. They want to do what they can to be able to enjoy them.”

Soundwatch is made up of a crew and volunteers who go out on the water during the summer and educate recreational boaters on the rules and regulations, as

Federal regulation dictate boats and water craft to stay a minimum of 400 yards away from a whales path.

well as guidelines of the area.

According to Seely, voluntary guidelines in San Juan County include a 1/4 mile distance from shore no-go zone on the west side from Mitchell Point to Eagle Point,

and a 1/2 mile no-go zone at Lime Kiln State Park, where whales are often seen.

‘Systemic failures’ led to jail death Investigation tells story of negligence and errors in county jail

By Jessie Stensland

Whidbey News-Times Co-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 June 18.

Two corrections deputies who falsified logs were placed on administrative leave and have since resigned. Lt. Pam McCarthy was placed on paid administrative leave pending a disciplinary review. Chief De Dennis, the jail administrator, was suspended for 30 days without pay and his continued employment is uncertain, Brown said.

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, who lived on Lopez Island. 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 organized a peaceful protest on Father’s Day as a way of sending a message to the jail and sheriff’s office.

More than 250 people in black shirts, many holding signs, quietly marched through Coupeville to the Island County

jail, where they held hands and formed a human chain encircling the facility.

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

Island County Coroner Robert Bishop reported that Farris died from dehydration, but malnutrition was a contributing factor.

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

The 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 bring-

ing in an expert in jail administration to do a comprehensive analysis of the facility, especially those confined to “safety cells.”

“I want to know why the problems were so glaring and why I didn’t see them,” he said. Brown breaks into tears when he talks about the death of the young man who once played high school football and was a track star in Coupeville, the town where the sheriff’s office resides.

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

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

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

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

Sgt. Chris Garden, a veteran member of the department with training in emergency medicine, has taken over as interim jail administrator. He will be working closely with See JAIL, Page 8

Zybas awarded for leadership and service during Oso landslide The leadership and service work on the state Route 530 landslide earned Snohomish County Public Works Solid Waste Division Director Matt Zybas the 2015 Project/ Program Manager of the Year Award.

The award was presented by the Washington State Association of County Engineers June 17, in Leavenworth, Wash.

Matt was nominated by his county colleagues for his outstanding leadership and service in the emergency response and debris removal following the SR 530 landslide near Oso. “With approximately 200,000 cubic yards of material created by the landslide to sift through, Matt’s efforts, abilities and determination helped the communities get back on their feet again,” said Steve Thomsen, Snohomish County Public Works Director.

“It wasn’t just his focus on debris removal and site restoration that impacted the community, but also his effort to be sensitive and respectful of the survivors and community members. Throughout the difficult event, Matt developed strong and trusted working relationships, attended community meetings, and listened to people’s stories, needs and concerns in order to guide project activities accordingly.”

“There is no perfect plan that anyone can create to prepare for an event like the SR 530 landslide,” said Matt Zybas. “This recognition by WSACE would not have been possible without the hard work, great ideas

Soundwatch hands out Be Whale Wise guidelines to inform people on safe distances and practices to observe whales, as well as other marine wildlife like porpoises, sea lions and seals. Other practices can be slowing down when within 400 yards, approaching or departing from the side of their path, not approaching in front of or behind the pod, and stopping if whales are unexpectedly within 100 yards of the boat.

“The regulations are to give enough distance and space to give them what they need to do,” said Jenny Atkinson of the Whale Museum. “I think people by and large want to do right.

But people do get excited and they want to go closer.”

Seely recommends generally keeping an eye out for wildlife of all kinds to reduce the amount of stress put on wildlife by getting too close or being too loud.

Soundwatch will be holding a fundraiser at Mike’s Wine & Café Bar June 26 for vessel repair and maintenance with food, drinks, and raffle prizes. 6:30 p.m., for more information call 360-378-4710 ext. 30.

Within the first week after the SR 530 landslide, Matt worked with a group of 30 people consisting of federal, state, and local agencies through a strategy discussion on how to begin cleanup and recovery efforts. Three months after the incident, Snohomish County officially began the debris removal project, guided by Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) and state emergency management experts, in midJune 2014. After another three months, Snohomish County, with the help of construction, archaeology and spotting, and monitoring and inspection contractors, successfully completed the project early and under budget.

The WSACE presents this annual award to a county project manager or county program manager for outstanding service and meritorious achievement in managing a construction project or a pavement, safety, operations, bridge or other public works program. The program or project is required to be in or for a county and must have been completed by the end of the year for which the award was submitted.

Sakstrup charged with assaulting officer

By Dennis Box For The Journal

Friday Harbor resident, Knud Kristian Kaj Sakstrup, Jr., has been charged with assault against a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. He is currently in custody awaiting trial. Bail was set at $50,000.

The San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office filed two counts on May 27 against Sakstrup, commonly known to law enforcement as Butch. He was charged with one count of third degree assault for assaulting a detective when she tried to arrest him. The second count filed against Sakstrup was resisting arrest.

At about 1 a.m. May 26 the detective went to a woman’s home to pick up a written statement concerning an incident that occurred the previous night. Once inside she saw the 44-year-old Sakstrup and told him he was under arrest.

The probable cause document stated, “Butch was aggressively trying to get away from me and had a combative demeanor and facial expression as I closed the distance between he and I. I told him to stop as he made his way forcefully through the cluttered room.”

The detective grabbed his arm attempting to put handcuffs on Sakstrup as he ran for the door.

“Butch forced the door open as I held his wrist at his side and he began to struggle more aggressively to try and get away,” the detective wrote. “I was able to keep hold of his wrist as I began to reach for his other wrist. Butch forcefully pushed me into the door and the door frame which caused immediate pain to my left thigh and my right forearm and caused me to lose my breath momentarily.”

The detective wrote that she told Sakstrup, “Stop, you’re under arrest Butch, you’re just making things worse for yourself by doing this.”

Sakstrup was able to get away. The detective was treated at an emergency room to treat her leg injury.

Deputies caught up with Sakstrup at about 8:30 a.m. May 26. When he saw the deputies he fled the scene. Sakstrup ran to a residence on Dougherty Lane and locked himself inside.

A deputy spotted a side window near the door that was open. He slid the screen off and opened the window and yelled for Sakstrup.

The deputy wrote, “I informed Knud that the house was completely surrounded and we had permission from Ralph Turner to come inside. Knud immediately yelled back that he was giving up and that this was a ‘BS’ warrant and that we were harassing him.”

He was ordered to drop to his knees at the doorway, but Sakstrup, “stood and started to yell at me that we were harassing him and this was a small town cops and that we got him and his life was ruined. Knud was not responding to my command and I was forced to illuminate him with the Taser.”

Following the illumination Sakstrup was taken into custody.

Sakstrup has an extensive criminal history dating back to 1991 including obstruction, assault, disorderly conduct and shoplifting.

Sakstrup’s son, Kristian K. Sakstrup, is serving a 40 month sentence for second degree rape of a child. He was sentenced in June 2013.

Ending domestic violence

W

“

hy don’t victims just leave?”

Those of us who work at domestic violence programs hear this question all the time. The truth is, they do.

Every day we hear from survivors of abuse who were able to find the support and resources they needed to be safe and self-sufficient.

Every day we also hear from people who are unable to leave because they fear the abuser will be more violent if they do. This fear is very real.

According to the Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review, in at least 55% of homicides by abusers, the victim had left or was trying to leave.

Many people are unable to leave an abusive relationship because they have nowhere to go. Our communities don’t have enough affordable housing, and shelters and transitional housing units are limited. On just one day last year, domestic violence programs in Washington could not meet 267 requests for housing. People often stay with or return to an abusive partner because they don’t have the money to support themselves or their children.

We also hear from people who don’t want to leave, but want the abuse to stop. Research consistently shows that people in an abusive relationship make repeated efforts to be safe and self-sufficient, but there are many barriers— both external, such as limited resources or support; and internal, such as an emotional connection to their partner or a desire for their children to be with both parents— that makes this very difficult.

But here’s the thing: This is absolutely the wrong question to be asking, as it implies that victims are responsible for ending violence. They aren’t.

parents teamed up with the Prevention Coalition to offer a safe and unforgettable evening. With an enormous amount of donations, planning, volunteers and execution, the tradition continues. Preparation started early in the school year with a dedicated group of senior parents planning fundraising events and mapping out various options for activities. Nine months later all of the hard work paid off.

All this planning is a closely held secret. The committee refers to the various sites by number, to help ensure there are no slip-ups! What happened at grad night this year?

After leaving FHHS, the class was treated to a BBQ tri-tip steak dinner. Bubble Ball soccer got the blood flowing and amped up the group for their next event.

Next, the graduates were treated to an intimate performance by former islanders, The Good Husbands.

One chaperone noted, “I’ve never seen a whole class dance together like that before.” A bonfire, donuts, espresso, and custom airbrushed t-shirts rounded out the stop. After a short drive, wish lanterns slowly rose into a still and starry sky from a beach before the buses moved on to the next site. There, all enjoyed laser tag, human foosball, a slide

show, a DJ, photo booth, Italian sodas, and pizza.

Next the group went swimming and hot tubbing.

Massages, hair styling, caricature artist, and smoothies were on site as well. A continental breakfast and Grad Night picture slide show were provided at the next stop. Finally, a 45-minute sunrise cruise wrapped up an evening that several grads characterized as “the best night of my life.”

Back where they started 12 hours later, the tired and happy graduates headed for home for a much-needed nap.

Grad Night couldn’t happen without the selfless effort by many parents, chaperones, bus drivers, community members, and businesses. We hope our advertisement in this issue of the Journal includes all of those who contributed!

Project Grad Night is such a special event and exemplifies our small community. We are fortunate to be part of such an amazing place!

Conservation Foundation for bringing the documentary film “Directly Affected” to our islands June 9-11. Ross came from Vancouver B.C. to present the film along with his organization’s scientific research on the effects of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion on those living in and around the Salish Sea. How are San Juan Islanders directly affected by a pipeline in Canada?

Millions of tourism dollars in San Juan County are at risk from the threat of an oil spill that would come with the increase of over

800 tanker transits per year carrying Canadian crude to Asia. Compared to only 50 permanent jobs that this new pipeline would offer, islanders have nothing to gain and nearly all to lose should this project be built (80 percent of our county’s total economy relies on our healthy marine resources).

As far as the orca (our icon and our livelihood), there doesn’t even have to be an oil spill to cause them further harm — the noise pollution from these tankers alone would put them closer to peril. Whether Canada listens to us or not, we have

“The baskets add to the charm and beauty of the Town,” said Mayor Carrie Lacher. “We are incredibly pleased that the Garden Club continues to help with this tradition.”

The town obtains its baskets from Channel View Farms in La Connor, Washington. “The annual flowers really have become a sight. The Town Streets Crew puts a significant amount of time into making the baskets flourish all summer long,” said Town Administrator Duncan Wilson.

Guest column

Farris family deserves answers and justice

By Keven Graves Whidbey News Times

K

eaton Farris should not have died.

At age 25, he should be hanging out with his friends on Lopez Island or in Coupeville. He should be teasing his sisters or traveling the world.

Keaton and his family deserve answers — and justice.

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

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

Island County Sheriff ’s Office Detective Ed Wallace’s noholds-barred report on the series of unfathomable errors that led to Keaton Farris’ death are damning.

Farris was being held on an identity theft charge out of San Juan County and was incarcerated at the Island County Jail since March 26, 2015. He died from dehydration and malnutrition under the watch of jailers, government employees entrusted by the community to watch over people who are essentially powerless.

Keaton’s death indicates that members of the sheriff ’s administration turned blind eyes or were so uninvolved in their jobs that such negligence could go unnoticed to the point of becoming fatal.

It points to a system that is severely broken.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown claimed ultimate responsibility for the errors that occurred in the jail, as he should.

Brown broke the news of Keaton Farris’ death to his father, Fred Farris, and he promised that the case will be investigated as if it were his own son had died.

The sheriff says he’s on a mission to rectify the problems at the jail.

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

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

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

Two corrections deputies who falsified logs were placed on administrative leave the day after Farris’ death; they have since resigned. Brown also placed the lieutenant overseeing the jail on administrative leave while a disciplinary process moves forward.

Jail Chief De Dennis was suspended for a month without pay, but Brown said he plans to bring him back to work with the jail expert. Dennis’ employment will depend on what the expert has to say.

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

Sometimes it takes a great tragedy to open people’s eyes and drive the necessary changes that are clearly needed.

Jail:

Continued from page 3 Undersheriff Kelly Mauck.

Missing from Wallace’s report, Fred Farris said, is the family’s interaction with the jail. He said he and other family members went to the jail just about every day to see Keaton, 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 Farris’ aunt to visit his cell early in his incarceration.

Brown said he’s interested in looking at policies at other facilities. He said it might make sense to allow visitors to visit 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 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 had never been in a jail before this incident 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 stolen, forged and cashed at a bank. A $10,000 warrant was issued for Farris’ arrest.

Lynnwood police picked him up on the warrant March 20. Officers respond-

ed to a report of a suspicious man at a bank. Farris told an officer that he was “off his meds” and that he was projecting his thoughts at people inside the bank, Wallace wrote, “Records from the Lynnwood jail indicate that he had prescription Lorazepam when he arrived. Under a cooperative agreement between jails, he was transferred to Snohomish 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 amphetamines, THC and Lorazepam and possibly suffered from bipolar disorder,” Wallace wrote.

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

In Skagit County, he was non-communicative and resisted jailers; he was placed in restraints. A Skagit official warned the Island County Jail lieutenant that two corrections 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 interagency 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 agencies in the future to ensure such information is shared.

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

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

On March 30, water to Farris’ cell was turned off after he placed his pillow in the toilet and was “playing in the water in his sink,”

Wallace wrote. It was turned off again when he flooded his cell on April 4.

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

Under National Institute of Health guidelines, Farris’ intake should have been 1,563 ounces. Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines state that 791 ounces would be necessary for survival in an emergency situation.

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

Farris’ inmate book states that he was supposed to be observed each hour, but the log showed long stretches of time in which nobody checked on him. The last time that a corrections deputy confirmed he was alive was at 5:30 p.m. on 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. Wallace details a series of instances in which the corrections deputies failed to follow the “safety cell procedures.”

Wallace wrote that Farris wasn’t offered fluids hourly, as required. A safety cell log wasn’t started immediately and was incomplete.

Supervisors didn’t inspect the logs as required. The safety checks were not sufficient to assess the inmate’s well-being. The policy requires that medical and mental-health status be assessed within 12 hours, but Farris wasn’t evaluated until his 11th day in custody.

Wallace also described confusion among jail staff about McCarthy’s alleged directive that the door to Farris’ cell should not be opened because of his combative history.

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

The Sheriff’s Office contracts with Island County Public Health to provide a nurse at the jail four days a week. The nurse was asked to see Farris on the day before he died. But she only interacted with Farris for two minutes and didn’t have a “hands on encounter,” but instead talked to him through the small door 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 See JAIL, Page 9

In retirement, she and Gerry loved heading north on their boat, IceBear,

to British Columbia and Alaska. While they had planned for a quiet island life, they were soon actively involved with the San Juan Island Yacht Club and made many good friends through it. Carlene also loved her P.E.O. sisters and found the work of the organization to be very rewarding.

Carlene will be greatly missed by all who knew her kind and loving soul.

She once asked God what her purpose in life was.

The answer she received was to “be kind and smile at people.” In this endeavor she succeeded and was a wonderful example to others. In addition to her

Obituaries Edith deChadenedes

Edith Bronson deChadenedes (known to everyone as Edie) passed away peacefully on May 31st at the Terraces at Fountaingrove in Santa Rosa, California, at the age of nearly 92. Born on August 3rd, 1923, Edie attended Radcliffe College, where she met Francois, her husband-to-be, before entering the Women’s Army Corps in 1943. She worked in recruiting and in military intelligence. After the war the newlyweds moved on to Stanford University, where Edie completed her undergraduate degree in American history in 1947.

Edie and Francois were the proud parents of five chil-

dren, Anne, John, David, Lucy, and Nicholas.

Edie loved the West, making a home for her family first in Wyoming, then Utah, and finally in Boulder, Colorado, where she lived from 1957 to 1983.

Edie was an expert knitter and made many complex Aran and Danish pattern ski sweaters for her family when the kids were young.

She liked to sew and took classes in silversmithing and architecture. She loved horses and riding. She and Francois owned two beloved horses when they lived in Salt Lake City and later in Boulder. Edie loved early music and played in a recorder ensemble for most of her adult life.

In midlife Edie studied early childhood development at the JFK Center in Denver and was involved in teaching Head Start for

Jail: Continued from page 7 convey that concern to the staff. She said she did not ask for the cell door to be opened because “she had heard the staff talking about him being violent, disruptive and uncooperative,” Wallace wrote.

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

San Juan County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord said Farris was originally supposed to be transferred to Western State for the evaluation, but it was delayed because of the lack of “beds” at the facility, which is a well-documented problem. As a result, the psychologist tried to examine him at the jail.

Wallace’s report indicates that the psychologist attempted to interview Farris

years. In 1974 she spent six months in Vietnam using what she had learned consulting with an orphanage that promoted international adoptions. Later she wrote a book about her experiences: “My Saigon Diary.”

Edie’s politics were unabashedly left-wing. She took part in anti-nuclear protests in Boulder, became an ardent feminist in the 1970s, and was an active member of the ACLU during the 30 years she lived in Friday Harbor, Washington.

When Edie moved to San Juan Island she became an avid gardener, growing much of her own food for her vegetarian diet as an element of her Buddhist practice. Edie encountered Zen Buddhism in the early 1980s while visiting Seattle and became an active member and a lay minister of the Shasta Abbey Zen com-

through the feeding slot on the closed cell door. Farris was lying naked on the cell floor and talking to himself continually. His report, issued after Farris’ death, found that the young man was not competent to stand trial.

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

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

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

munity for the rest of her life. She made many trips to Shasta Abbey for retreats and is remembered for her devoted work sewing liturgical garments. Her funeral was a traditional Zen Buddhist funeral. In recent years she was also closely connected with the Tibetan Buddhist community on San Juan Island. She was instrumental in starting Friends and Neighbors, an organization on San Juan Island that provided volunteer help for older people, a

cause very dear to her heart.

Edie volunteered for many years at the public library in Friday Harbor mending books and teaching others to do the work.

Edie is survived by four of her children, and an older brother, David. She was preceded in death by Francois, her husband of 29 years (d.

1999), and her son, David (d. 2007).

In the Kitchen Make it

vegan

Buffalo Tofu Steaks (feeds 6)

3 blocks extra firm tofu 3/4 cup sriracha hot sauce 3 tablespoons agave nectar 1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions Clayton’s Grilled Buffalo Chicken feeds six

3 pounds of chicken breast Franks red hot sauce Salt, pepper, paprika Chopped Parsley

White Lemon Sauce

2 lemons (cut in half) 3 dollops of mayonnaise 2 dollops of sour cream 1 tablespoon sherry cooking wine 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard black pepper 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Grilled Potatoes 3 large baked potatoes olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin

Instructions

Cut chicken breast into even sized fillets and season with salt, pepper and paprika.

Toss in a marinating bag with a teaspoon of olive oil and refrigerate.

Potatoes

Bake 4 large potatoes for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

After baking, let the potatoes cool. Cut them into quarters and brush with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.

Sauce

To make sauce, toss mayonnaise in with the sour cream and Dijon mustard.

Add sherry cooking wine, a drizzle of olive oil and pepper.

Heat your grill to a medium high heat and add chicken, cooking each side for a few minutes.

Alongside the chicken, cook your potatoes and lemons until grill marks appear.

Squeeze the juice from your grilled lemons into the white sauce and whip together.

Drizzle the buffalo sauce over your chicken breast along with your white sauce. Also pour white sauce over your potatoes and garnish both dishes with parley for color and freshness.

Wine pairing

Try a late harvest riesling with this meal, as it is light and sweet enough to extinguish some of the heat from the buffalo sauce, while complimenting the citrus flavor of the white sauce.

Wrap tofu blocks individually in paper towels and microwave for 2 minutes.

Put them in between two clean plates and add weight to the top (cans of beans work well).

Press for at least an hour.

Drain as much water from the tofu as possible after pressing.

Cut each block into four strips, about 1-inch thick.

In a bowl, mix together hot sauce, agave, and liquid smoke. Add to a large skillet on high heat.

Once at a strong simmer, add tofu strips, ensuring each one lays flat.

Simmer for 15 minutes, flipping them half way through.

Turn off the heat and let them stand for another 15 minutes.

Put them on the barbecue using a slightly oiled slotted grill pan, searing both sides until grill marks appear.

Serve with grilled vegetables like broccoli and mushrooms.

Shakespeare under the stars

Contributed photo / John Sinclair at Copncepia.com

A

spoonful of Macbeth, a sprinkling of Twelfth Night, a dash of Midsummer Night Dream, and you have a taste of Cymbeline being performed this summer in Shakespeare Under the Stars by Island Stage Left.

“Shakespeare has all of his main elements in this one.

It’s got an evil stepmother, sleeping princess, you know it really reads like a fairy tale. It’s got tragedy and comedy and everything in between,” said Helen Machin-Smith, one of the founders of Island Stage Left. “Shakespeare, in his later days, his wisdom about the world was enormous.

So his later plays were about family and reconciliation and forgiveness.”

Now in its 17th year, the seasonal program is put on by Island Stage Left, a non-profit group of professional actors from all over the U.S. and has one local islander, Mark Mazzarella, performing this season. According to MachinSmith, this year’s production was a challenge specifically

Calendar Wednesday, June 24 Frazer Homestead Walk, 2 – 4 p.m., American Camp visitor center. Many of today’s island families are descended from U.S. Army soldiers. Join Park Historian

because of the fight scenes, for which they imported a choreographer from Seattle to help. A hallmark of the organization is its approach to simplicity in production and execution, relying on the cast’s talent as the focal point of the play instead of over-the-top set designs.

“I love that you can do Shakespeare without anything but the actors,” Machin-Smith said. “I adore how his language carries the play, his knowledge of human nature is so universal and you can take it anywhere in the world.”

And if diversity of roles is any sign of acting skill, the actors in this season’s production of Cymbeline certainly stand out; 8 actors will be playing 23 different characters, sometimes with simply the change of a hat.

Island Stage Left began preparation for the season in January, had a cast by the end of February, and then began twice-a-day rehearsal for four weeks before the first show.

According to Machin-Smith, each performance has very different audiences depending on where they perform.

Wold Road is where many locals watch the production, while Roche Harbor draws in tourists who are “pleasantly surprised,” she said. The Waldron Island audience is wellread and are often familiar with the plays already, and the Lopez vineyard location has a fairly even mix of locals, tourists, and San Juan Island visitors.

“My favorite part is when children see Shakespeare for the first time and they get it,” Machin-Smith added. “They don’t get hung up on the fact that they can’t understand every word, and instead go with the flow and enjoy it. And really, any one who has never seen Shakespeare before they see our production is a high point for me.”

For those who aren’t familiar with Cymbeline and Island Stage Left, as well as for those who are, the free production will be going on all summer long at 8 p.m. in five different locations on four islands, some running multiple nights. For more information on locations go to islandstageleft.org.

Town seeks grant proposals for use of Mostly positive reviews lodging tax funds to promote tourism for ferry reservations The town of Friday Harbor’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee is accepting applications for grants to fund tourism promotion. The promotions must be for events and activities specifically intended to draw visitors to the town in 2016.

Preference will be given to those activities that encourage tourists to visit during the spring and fall

shoulder seasons. Summer activities are acceptable; however applicants are advised to give careful and strategic thought to the scheduling of their events to avoid what are recognized as high traffic weekends.

The grants are awarded annually and are funded with the state’s hotel motel tax collected on all lodging stays of less than 30

Grant applications must be submitted to Friday Harbor Town Hall by 4:30 p.m. Friday, August 28. days in length within the Town.

Funds must be used to promote tourism within the town of Friday Harbor.

Grant proposals are reviewed by the committee that is made up of council

members, lodging owners and community members appointed by the mayor.

The committee then provides recommendations to the Town Council on how to allocate the grant funds.

Interested parties should review the request for proposal and complete the committee grant application at the town web site – www.fridayharbor.org under “What’s New”.

Secretary of the Department of Transportation met with officials and merchants to review system

By Scott Rasmussen Special to the Journal

Lynn Peterson, chief of Washington State Ferries and the secretary of the state Department of Transportation, came to San Juan Island last week to find out the state of the ferries reservation system.

Although somewhat mixed, the reviews were mostly positive, according to Lynne Griffith, assistant secretary of the ferries division.

“I’d say everyone that we met with said the reservation system is a good idea, but that it needs some tweaking,” said Griffith, who, along with Peterson met one-on-one, or in pairs, with about a dozen local leaders and island merchants May 12 in Friday Harbor.

Griffith said that changes here and there could prove beneficial, but the system in place in the San Juan Islands and its “30-30-30” staggered reservations release appears to be working well for a significant number of islanders that depend on the ferries either personally or for business. State ferries could improve in the communication arena, she said, and in promoting greater awareness that 10 percent of space on any sailing remains available not only for those with medical emergencies, but for “standbys” and “driveups” as well.

For the ferries that run the Anacortes/San Juan route, 10 percent means that 12-14 cars can make it on as standbys and drive-ups since the ferries can carry 124-144 cars. However, according to Broch Bender of the WSDOT Ferries Division, that number can vary depending on how many oversized vehicles there are, such as trailers, semi-trucks and campers.

This can reduce the amount of available car spaces to unforeseeable slim numbers.

This is the first summer season for reservations in the San Juans and Griffith maintains that WSF will have better understanding of what changes could help improve the system in the long-run after more information and data become available. For now, she said,

WSF will concentrate on improvements that can be implemented in the shortrun, like ensuring workers at the ticket booth have upto-date information about reservations and available space on each and every sailing.

Peterson recently met with state Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, who conveyed to her some of the concerns voiced by local residents about the reservations and offered suggestions of how the system might be improved.

“One thing is for sure,” Ranker said in a news release, “the implementation of the reservation system is a work in progress and while I do not anticipate, nor do I support, the repeal of the system, there are likely to be changes made as we learn what works and what doesn’t.”

The system might work a bit better if more than 10 percent of any sailing is left available for driveups, Friday Harbor Town Administrator Duncan Wilson said.

“I encouraged them to think about loosening up the drive-up space,” Wilson said. He was among the dozen or so people who met with the two state transportation leaders. “Something like 80/20 percent might help make people thinking about making a last minute day-trip to the island more comfortable to know that they can get back to the mainland.”

Due to the nature of change, Wilson believes adapting to the reservation system will be a benefit to some and difficult for others.

“No matter what you do, somebody is going to have to compromise,” he noted.

Despite glitches and opportunities for improvement, Peterson is encouraged from the response heard last week about reservations. The people that she and Griffith met with represent a diverse group of community stakeholders, she said.

“In general, the reaction to reservation is favorable,” Peterson said. “But we certainly heard quite a few good ideas for improvement.”

Olympia budget block impacts school district The San Juan Island School Board met June 17 to review options as the budget impasse in Olympia continues to prevent critical planning for the start of the school year.

“Smooth and timely program planning and budget adoptions are based on the assumption that the Legislature will finish its work in the early spring. Because Olympia has not agreed on school allocations for next year, final budget decisions cannot be made at this point in time,” said Jose Domenech, district business manager.

At this point, the district cannot move forward with efforts to retain key educators. In turn, this alters the classes offered and student schedules in the middle and high schools. In the grade school, the district cannot set grade level assignments for teachers, address known class size

ments. However, we have issues or assign students done considerable conto classes without know- “It is shaping up to be tingency planning based ing how many teachers an intense summer. on the various possible the Legislature will fund.

Plans pending for all-day kindergarten Elementary school staff waiting for state legislators to pass budget The staff at Friday Harbor Elementary School is excited at the prospect of having all-day kindergarten available to San Juan Island children.

Though all-day kindergarten is still uncertain at this point, pending the current state Legislative session, staff there wants residents to know if it happens, “We are ready.”

What does this mean for the Friday Harbor Elementary School kindergarten program?

According to Friday Harbor Elementary School Principal Diane Ball, “Allday kindergarten will provide a more relaxed pace to explore as our youngest students begin to unfold

the wonders of reading, writing, math, and science.

Additional time in the school day will also allow

for more integration of art, drama, and creative play.”

Continuing with the current curriculum and Common Core State Standards, students will have more time to practice new learning and experience a greater depth of understanding before moving on to new topics.

Just like their peers in other grades, all-day kindergarten will include specialist time every day and three recesses during the

school day. Title I needs, learning assistance programs, or English language learning instructional services, will be scheduled within the school day, instead of added to existing half-day schedules.

“All-day kindergarten provides the children with a full-day experience from 8:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.,

most current preliminary budget proposals at the Legislature, but with an optimistic budget capacity to account for potential increases to revenues or programs. This will allow the superintendent to make adjustments while avoiding the need to redo the entire process.”

The San Juan Island School District’s new superintendent, Danna Diaz, was in attendance at the meeting, but will not assume her duties until July 1.

The board expressed its appreciation to the management team for developing a sound plan for a challenging situation.

“It is important that our citizens, and especially our school district families, understand that our district professionals have done everything they can to prepare for next fall. It is unfortunate, to put it mildly, that the Legislature has not done the same,” said Director Ralph Hahn.

equating to less transnational and more opportunities for children to work at a pace that is developmentally appropriate to this age.” Ball said. “The current kindergarten program addresses the whole child with an appropriate balance of academics and play, and this will not change.”

The school staff will work on a case-by-case basis with parents desiring to have their child participate in a half-day kindergarten program.

Around Town New Railroad on San Juan Island The residents of the Life Care Center on Spring Street in Friday Harbor are building a scale model garden railroad.

The LC & Pacific RR, operating since August of last year, has approximately 200 feet of tract, four engines, passenger and freight cars and the Red Ball Trolley.

Under the guidance of Ron Garner and

Phil Myers, the residents are creating mountains, tunnels, buildings and small gardens when they are not busy running the trains.

The 13 active and numerous observers at the LC Center are looking for volunteers to help with their projects and running the trains. No previous knowledge with model railroads is required, just wanting to have a good time with the residents. The present meeting time is Tuesdays at 12:45 to 2:30. If someone wants to help after dinner we can create a program one evening a week.

Island Haven Animal Sanctuary’s mission is to provide lifetime care and sheltering for animals who, while still able to lead a quality life, are unable to find homes due to old age, chronic illness, handicaps, temperament issues or other factors, or who have been rescued from neglect and/ or abuse situations and require rehabilitation.

However, before we can provide a home for these special animals, we have to find a forever home for the Sanctuary.

Donating it would be a great tax write-off for someone, or leasing it to us in-kind or for a reasonable amount are also options. Ideally it would be at least five acres, have fenced pastures, a barn and/or stables, running water and electricity, and either a small home or ability to put a trailer on it so a human caregiver can stay there if an animal needs around the clock care. So, if you or someone you know has such a location, please contact us as soon as possible at islandhaven.julie@gmail.com or 360-472-1040.

This all began about a month ago when I answered a Facebook post to adopt three senior horses (two of them have never been ridden, one not in the last twenty years).

These horses had been rescued years ago, along with a couple of alpacas, and now the farm they have been living on is being sold and they need to find a new home. The farm owners weren’t getting much response from their post – seems not many people want to take on three thousand-plus pound pets - so, rather than just adopt them, when there are other senior and potentially non-adoptable animals in need, I decided to create an animal sanctuary where all such animals have a place to live out their lives. The owners of the farm think it is such a great idea that they are helping too.

Because we live in such a unique place, the need for this sanctuary is actually quite large. Over the years, many residents have taken on animals that were in need of homes because of their owners moving off island, and moving the animals would be too stressful for them or too expensive for their owners. There are senior animals here whose owners

are no longer able to care for them and there are animals that just aren’t adoptable for various reasons. Rather than have them go from home to home or live at the animal shelter for years, wouldn’t it be better for them to have a place they can live out their lives, a place of their own that belongs to the public, is run by volunteers and funded by donations and grants? We think it is.

Our programs will also include investigating animal cruelty/neglect situations and public education about how people can help end animal cruelty. To maximize our current efforts, we may seek to collaborate with other nonprofit organizations, which will provide opportunities for community involvement in order to have greater impact for change. We will also be looking for volunteers who are interested in animal care and will reach out to schools, clubs and camps to get children involved.

We have completed all the necessary pre-steps and are filing our application for 501(c)3 status. We have the beginnings of a fabulous board of people who can make this dream a reality and who have experience in the animal welfare and non-profit world: Julie Duke (Executive Director, Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center), Jan Pierce

Skagit Community College students celebrate graduation

By Anna V. Smith Journal Reporter

The 2015 graduates of Skagit Community College are few in number but rich in background and diversity, as Thomas Keegan said, President of Skagit Valley College.

The seven graduates came from all walks of life.

Some recent graduates of high school, some finishing a GED years after leaving high school, and some continuing higher education they never pursued in their youth.

“It took a long time to get here, but it’s exciting. And

a little scary,” said Barbara Everson, who is receiving a transfer degree to attend Western Washington University in the fall for psychology and philosophy.

“It’s a very open field, and there are a lot of different directions to take. Now the really hard work begins.”

One of the class speakers, Denise Ireland, spoke of her difficulty in getting through college the first and second time around, dropping out twice during the 70s.

Now, Ireland said, the value of education had become apparent to her with age, “Education has become to me what endorphins are to an athlete.” Ireland is graduating with high honors, and will be attending University of Washington to study integrated social sciences. Afterwards she’s looking into graduate studies in emergency management.

Some graduates are staying on the island while others are transferring to different colleges to continue their education, and to share what they’ve learned with the world.

Welcome home graduate

Welcome home to Guthrie Burnett-Tison, who is arriving home to Friday Harbor after a 10-1/2 month period studying in Nordfjordeid, Norway for his senior year.

Burnett-Tison is part of the Friday Harbor graduating class of 2015, and will be receiving his diploma upon his return. Wellknown on the island for his passion for music since he was young, Burnett-Tison

will be spending the summer here before moving to Germany. There he plans to study German (he is already fluent in Norwegian), and play with musicians before attending a German university that he has yet to decide upon. He tentatively plans to study history and music.
