Democrats ahead in county races Second place too close to call in commissioner race By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Democrats appeared to be doing well in early Island County primary election returns with Karla Jacks leading for District 3 commissioner and Ana Maria Nunez as treasurer. Jacks is outpacing her four Republican challengers with 2,371 votes cast in her favor, or 49 percent. The race for the second slot is a squeaker. Republican Marc Hennemann has 727 votes, or 14.99 percent, Republican Rick Hannold has 712 or 14.68 percent, and Aubrey Vaughan, a Republican appointed as

Coupeville couple jailed for tax fraud By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

A Coupeville husband and wife were sentenced to federal prison last week for conspiracy to defraud the government and making false or fraudulent claims, the U.S. Attorney’s Office reported. Debra A. Aaron, 60, was sentenced to five years in prison and Samuel Aaron, 71, was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Both were also sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $723,275 in restitution. “I can’t find any other motivation for doing this other than greed,” Judge Marsha J. Pechman said at the sentencing hearing. “…The public trust has been violated.” The Aarons both had lengthy careers as federal employees. Samuel Aaron had a military career and then worked for the Federal Aviation Administration for more

Art school thrives with festival push By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

For 51 years, the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival has been the event that gives back to the community. From providing a venue for local artists to raising money for scholarships, the festival has been an annual boon to Coupeville. In fact, profits from the festival gave rise to another important Coupeville institution. In 1989, the Coupeville Festival Association gave $25,000 in seed money to start the Coupeville Art Center. Today the school brings artists from all over the world and pumps a conservative estimate of $250,000 back into the local economy annually. The concept of the Coupeville Art Center actually started in 1986 when a group of locals got together and decided they wanted a greater focus on arts education in the community with the support of the festival association, according to Judy Lynn, a local historian and former director of the art center. Lynn served as director from 1987 to 1999. In 1987, the group held its first series of fiber-based workshops at Camp Casey, called Fiber Forum. There were 10 three-day workshops.

Additional workshops were added in the areas of photography, painting and mixed media with a workshop series called Photo Focus, Pallettes Plus and Needle Works. “The seed money carried us through until we got our 501c3 (designation),” Lynn said. “It was essential. We didn’t have any money. We didn’t have any overhead. We didn’t have an office. We didn’t have a school.” The center had very little overhead and required a minimum number of students to ensure costs were covered. “The office was in my bedroom,” Lynn said. “We had to use what space we could find.” Workshops were held at the local schools, Camp Casey, the Coupeville Recreation Hall

Man charged with molestation By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

A 67-year-old Coupeville man is accused of molesting a preschool-age girl, according to Island County Superior Court documents. Prosecutors charged Clyde A. McCarty July 22 with child molestation in the first degree.

If convicted, McCarty could face more than five years in prison and would have to register as a sex offender. The alleged victim disclosed to her mother this summer that McCarty had sexually assaulted her at his Coupeville home in 2013, according to the detective’s report. The girl was 4 years old at the time.

The girl told the detective that McCarty was baby sitting her when he molested her and that he told her not to tell anyone, the report states. The report indicates that McCarty’s wife wasn’t aware of the alleged abuse and made him move out after learning of the allegations. He is currently living in Port Orchard.

ELECTION: Results are in..... From page 1 an interim commissioner, has 688 votes, or 14.19 percent. Republican candidate Kelly Bagley garnered 352 votes, which is 7 percent. “There’s still a lot of votes out there,” said Hennemann, a Camano Island resident, Tuesday night. “We did a good ground game.” North Whidbey resident Rick Hannold said that he’s pleased with the support he’s received but is eager to see how the votes play out. Vaughan could not be reached for comment. Ana Maria Nunez earned 6,412 votes, or 45 percent. Former deputy treasurer Wanda Grone, a Republican, has 3,842 votes, or 27 percent, and escrow manager Christa Canell, also a Republican, has 3,950 votes, or 28 percent. The top two candidates in each race will go on to the

general election. Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider was the only other candidate for a county seat who has a challenger on the ballot. Crider, a Republican, has 7,669 votes, or 57 percent, and Rebecca Wagner has 5,689 votes, or 43 percent. Sheriff Mark Brown is facing a write-in challenger in North Whidbey resident Dave Olinger, but those won’t be counted until later. The Republican incumbents are coming out on top in the two races for state representatives in District 10. It looks like Rep. Daves Hayes, a Republican, will face Democrat Nick Petrish in the general election, while two other candidates fall behind. Hayes was far ahead with 10,458 votes, or 48 percent, while Petrish has 5,742, which is 26 percent. David Sponheim, who is running as a Democrat, has 3,452 votes and Republi-

can Brien Lillquist garnered 2,238. Rep. Norma Smith has just one challenger in Michael Scott, a Libertarian. Smith is far ahead with 16,098 votes, or 78 percent, while Scott has 4,418, or 22 percent. In the race for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, incumbent Rep. Rick Larsen, a Democrat, is ahead with 57 percent of the vote in District 2. In the first count, a total of 44,718 votes were cast for him. Republican candidate

B.J. Guillot is in second place with 25,449 votes, which is 32 percent. Independent candidate Mike Lapointe earned 8,946 votes, or 11 percent. A total of 15,348 ballots were counted Island County Tuesday. With a total of 50,735 registered voters, turnout was about 30 percent. The election will be certified on Aug. 19.

FRAUD: Couple gets sentenced for fraud From page 1 than 25 years. Debra Aaron retired as a management consultant for the FAA. The Aarons promoted a well-known tax fraud scheme known as “1099 OID fraud” in 2008, according to U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan. They claimed to the IRS that they owed a tax refund of $723,275. Debra Aaron filed similar bogus claims on behalf of 30 other people for more than $14 million. Some $4 million was paid out before the IRS caught the fraud. The Aarons used a shell company to launder the proceeds of the scheme and claimed some of the money was used to help impoverished women in third world

countries. In fact, they used the money for a home remodel, expensive trips to Sedona, Ariz., the Caribbean, and lavish outings to Las Vegas as well as other luxuries, the U.S. Attorney reported. Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said Debra Aaron recruited two friends in the scheme. A woman from Enumclaw was convicted of filing false claims and conspiring to file a false lien against a federal employee after she retaliated against an IRS officer by filing a false, multi-million dollar lien. She was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison. A Ravensdale woman was sentenced to six months for filing false claims.

50 years is an achievement worthy of celebration Inserted in this edition of The Whidbey Examiner you will find a special section entirely devoted to celebrating and honoring the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival’s 50th Anniversary. In the section, you can read about how the event has changed and evolved over the years, learn how one artist’s career grew since he first sold his art at the 1965 festival and share memories with festival royalty from 1964 and 1965. Much has changed since 1964, but one thing certainly hasn’t — the community’s support and involvement in the festival. Festival President Mike Dessert said he has roughly 250 volunteers for the festival each year and 22 committees. It’s a lot of time and effort each year to plan and coordinate an event that brings thousands of people to town each year. It really does take a village — or in this case, a town — to have such a thriving festival each year. Fifty years is an amazing achievement, and after exploring all that the festival association has been able to accomplish over the years, the community should be proud. As part of our festival coverage, you will find a front-page feature on the Coupeville Art Center, also known as the Pacific Northwest Art School. In 1989, the Festival Association gave the center $25,000 in seed money to expand its limited programing. Since then, the school has thrived and become a vital and beneficial part of the community. It brings hundreds of artists from all over the world each year and contributes to economic vitality of the town. The art school is a perfect example of giving coming around full circle. The Festival Association’s original goal was to revitalize Front Street and bring life back into the community. It helped create an independent entity, which now successfully contributes to that goal. Help us in congratulating the Festival Association on 50 years well done.

It’s time to revamp transit, add fares Editor, I have been a critic of Island Transit since the beginning for the reason that while free transportation sounds good, it is a utopian view and not really free because we all pay for it through a portion of the sales tax in Island County. No added fares are paid by actual users of Island Transit. Apparently, the sales tax does not provide enough income, as evidenced by recent reports of fiscal mismanagement and the account balance now in the red. Is it time to put fare collection in place? The reason given by Island Transit for not having fare collection has been that it costs too much for managing money and equipment and

delays the driver’s schedule. To put it in place, it will take money, but it should be done to keep Island Transit viable. My own recent contacts with Martha Rose were in regard to the promised bus shelter south bound for the Ledgewood/ Bon Air communities. According to Rose, $10,000 would be approved for construction. My latest information was that Island County would fast-track the application, but there was a problem with the Department of Transportation since they would need to remove a section of grade on Highway 525. Now with recent monetary developments, it doesn’t look good for this project. Island Transit has had to realign routes and reduce days of service. Some off-island routes were in competition with other transportation services — Skagit Transit, Community Transit and Everett Transit. All of

these entities have fare collection, and since Island Transit doesn’t collect fares, they lose at the fare box. The most blatant route was from Camano Island to Everett. While the schedule states it goes to Everett Station, it actually goes to Snohomish/Everett government complex and downtown Everett, which is also served by Everett Transit and Community Transit. Camano is also served to Everett by Community Transit and Skagit Transit. Everett Transit and Community Transit lose at the fare box when riders naturally choose the bus that is free. This route, even when money allows, should not be restarted. It’s time to revamp Island Transit management and its mission statement.

Editor, More history, please. Tuesday’s outstanding historic tour of Coupeville led by Paul Whelan was very well attended. The hour-and-a-half, mile-long walk around town entertained and informed us all. I especially appreciated the list of more than a dozen “teasers” that we were given prior to the walk, each of which was embellished upon at appropriate points along the way. Whelan’s relaxed and informative talk made for a most enjoyable history lesson about our town. A few of his own personal stories of paper routes and bottle-collecting were such fun to hear “straight from the horse’s mouth.” Thanks to the Island County Historical Society and to Paul for this delightful event. We live in a community of such rich history. Let’s keep those stories alive by doing more events such as this, please.

MARK My unabashed crush on the Rock THE DATE

Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place Dear Whidbey Island, This summer marks the fifth anniversary since you and I moved in together, and I am more in love with you today than ever. You have made me forget every other place I ever lived: Tacoma, Seattle, Vietnam, Japan, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Dallas. In my mind’s eye, I still see that 18-wheel moving van from Texas rumbling across the beautiful but delicate Deception Pass Bridge on that June morning in 2009, carrying all our worldly possessions. How grateful to God I was that engineers in 1934 had been prescient enough to make the bridge able to handle the weight of 20 tons of 21st century stuff. I realize that I am not your only lover. You are prodigious in your amorous embrace of many others. Some

have slept with you their whole lives. Others have known your charms for decades, still others for only a weekend. I know I must share you, but can you blame me for feeling just a bit jealous? You have whisked me away to vistas of beauty I could not have imagined. Mount Baker to my left, the Olympics to my right, the Cascades and Ebey’s Prairie in front of me, even a peek at Mount Rainier on a clear day. On your arm, I have strolled deserted beaches, watched kites soar, walked through a preserved forest, toured an historic fort, heard a concert in a barn, attended a hundred or more potlucks and marched in a parade with more marchers than parade viewers. You have enticed me with your mussels from Penn Cove, crab from Deception Pass, broccoli rabe from Rosehip Farm, goat cheese

from Little Brown Farm, Rockwell beans from Willowood Farm and wine from whatever number of wineries there are on the Rock these days. You have introduced me to “heritage” everything, from alpaca wool to hogs to tomatoes to historic preservation. You have thrown out my Round Up and filled up my recycle bin. You have caused me to purchase a hybrid vehicle. You have introduced me to the wonders of fleece and flannel. You have taught me that denim is, indeed, suitable for all occasions, and that T-shirts may be worn in restaurants. You have held my hand as I waded through the treacherous shoals of Rock politics: Never argue with anybody from the North End; it’ll get you nowhere. Never argue with anybody from the South End; it’ll get you nowhere.

Never invite somebody from Langley to dinner in Oak Harbor, and vice versa. Never bring up jets or tourists in public. My lovely island, in these short five years, you have become my Rock. What you have given me is so personal, so emotional and so physical that I cannot do it justice with these mere words. To offer you my best tribute, I must retire to my garden and tend my vegetables. There, among the zucchini, potatoes, beets and corn, I will feel your warmest embrace and sing your highest praise. Ah, mon amour, who needs the Casbah when we have each other? Or, as Ingrid Bergman should have told Humphrey Bogart in “Casablanca:” “We’ll always have Coupeville.” Ever Thine, Harry

Smedley takes over CHS volleyball program By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

A strong feeder program is the key to success, according to new Coupeville High School volleyball coach Breanne Smedley. Smedley begins her first year at the helm this fall, replacing Kirsty Croghan. Croghan, who coached the team only one year, resigned because the commute from her home and job in La Conner was too difficult. Smedley is the third coach in three years but doesn’t see the turnover as a problem. “The previous two coaches have done a good job of teaching solid volleyball skills and creating a culture of Coupeville volleyball, laying the foundation for me to build upon those skills and knowledge,” Smedley said. “I plan to handle the transition by getting to know the girls so that I can most effectively coach them as well as spending time getting everyone on the same page with our philosophy and expectations for the program,” she added. “I hope to build a program that develops and encourages athletes to better themselves on and off the court. This will come through setting expectations for players and cultivating an environment of trust, respect and discipline.” For the program to be a success, according to Smedley, the players must be exposed to volleyball before reaching high school. “This means that students at the elementary level are gaining interest and looking up to high school players as role models and that the middle school program is consistent with the culture, expectations and basic concepts of the high school program,” Smedley said. “This encourages the long-term growth of the player so that by the time they reach their senior year they will have developed sound skills, tactical

Breanne Smedley awareness and a thorough understanding of the game.” Smedley also sees volleyball as an avenue to teach students life skills such as work ethic, discipline and leadership: “My goal is to help all players reach their fullest potential on and off the court.” Another goal, Smedley said, is to “cultivate an environment” where players feel valued and respect themselves and others. “Winning is a by-product of a successful program that is built upon an expected high standard of player attitude and behavior but is not an adequate substitute for those values.” Smedley grew up in Vancouver, Wash., and attended Western Washington University, where she played volleyball. She moved to Whidbey Island last summer when her husband, Brett, accepted a teaching and assistant football coaching job at Coupeville High School. Breanne Smedley teaches physical education at Oak Harbor’s Broad View Elementary. She began coaching while competing for Western, helping at clinics and camps. She coached two years

She also coached seventh- and eighth-grade volleyball at Oak Harbor Middle School.

“I was interested in the CHS job because I see a lot of potential to create a strong volleyball program at Coupeville,” Smedley said. “Coupeville has a very supportive community and there are a great group of

girls on the team with many of the pieces needed to be competitive in our league. It’s about putting those parts together to build a successful program.”

Family pulls weight at Highland Games By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

Whenever Grayson Akins returns to campus at Western Washington University and talks about her summer athletic endeavors back home on Whidbey Island, she’s often met with a blank stare. New friends are dumbfounded, yet curious, to learn more about tossing logs, stones and hay that are part of the athletic segment of the Whidbey Highland Games. “Explaining it is always really interesting,” said Akins, 20, who lives in Oak Harbor and will be a senior at Western in the fall. “It sounds like you’re standing in a field wearing something weird and throwing heavy things.” Wearing a Scottish kilt and tossing large objects across a field is not something Akins would have ever envisioned she’d be doing after graduating from Coupeville High School. Yet, Akins, her older sister, Jordan, and their dad, Andrew, all tried it out several years ago and got hooked, and the trio will compete in the 16th annual event at Greenbank Farm Saturday, Aug. 9. “I think it’s great,” said Andrew Akins, who’s been at it the longest in the family, guessing about six years. “It took me a while to talk them into it. They were a little bit resistant.” “We didn’t know this existed,” Jordan Akins, 22, said.

Grayson Akins, left, her dad Andrew, and sister Jordan all participate in athletic competition at the Whidbey Highland Games. The Akins sisters graduated from Coupeville High School. Athletic competitions such as the caber toss, stone put and sheaf toss are only a part of the Highland Games, which is a celebration of Scottish culture. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, the event also will feature Highland piping, drumming and dancing competitions. A variety of Celtic performances will take place on the main stage. There also will be food vendors and a beer garden. Cost to attend is $10 for adults, $7 for children, seniors and military and kids 4

of competitors. The state’s largest event is the Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games, which took place for the 68th time last week in Enumclaw. In 2013, that event drew 30,000 spectators.

Whidbey’s version is played out on a much smaller scale, drawing about 1,000 people last year. About 50 people from Washington, Oregon and Canada are signed up to compete in athletics with seven participants from the island. Athletics consists of a variety of different tosses with each competitor partaking in every event. In the caber toss, participants lift and attempt to flip over a log or pole with the degree in which it lands carrying more significance than distance. Best tosses flip over and land at 12 on an imaginary clock. Other tosses involve a hammer, weight and stone. There’s also the sheaf toss, which involves chucking a bundle of straw with a pitchfork. Athletes compete in different classes, including novice, amateur A and B and masters. Whidbey’s Highland Games don’t typically draw any professionals in athletics, said Jordan Akins, who is helping organize the athletic portion of the games. The Akins family, which

is Scottish, became exposed to the Highland Games after Belle Akins attended the Skagit Games in Mount Vernon several years ago and reported her findings to her husband and daughters. The family started attending events together and the competitive drive took over. “It’s just cool,” said Andrew Akins.

SCHOOL: Center plays big role in tourism From page 1 and even the Island County Commissioners’ Hearing Room. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that the school found a permanent space. The building, located on Northwest Birch Street, was originally used as furniture manufacturing facility, Lynn said. It required a lot of infrastructure changes and the majority of the work was done by community help. “We had wonderful volunteers that made that all possible,” she said. Right from the get-go, the center was attracting attention and bringing in high-profile instructors. “We were bringing the very best instructors in the field,” Lynn said. Reputation of the art school quickly spread by word of mouth, help from the Weaver’s Guild and by advertising in trade magazines. Lisa Bernhardt, current art center director, said nowadays the school offers between 80-90 workshops during its regular season of April through October, runs an annual budget as much as $250,000 and serves about 500 students each year. Of those 500 students, Berhardt said each year 60 percent of students are new. The school features two classrooms and two gallery spaces. Faculty come from all over the world including Finland, Thailand, Australia and Russia. Page 12 August 7, 2014

Not only does the school bring highcaliber instructors, but the school also provides a beautiful environment and backdrop that inspires the arts, Bernhardt said. Tuition covers 70 percent of the school’s operating costs, she said. The other 30 percent has to be fundraised. The school, which also operates under the name Pacific Northwest Art School, applies for funding through the county’s 2 percent tourism tax. Because of this, Bernhardt explained, the school keeps track, to a degree, of what students are spending in the community. Based on the estimated lodging and food costs, she estimates students spend an average of $250,000 annually in the community. This does not include any spending outside of lodging and basic meals. “It really does trickle down,” Bernhardt said. “Eighty to 83 percent of our students come from off island. “The average workshop requires spending three nights lodging. That’s John Arvuckle came from Mountlake what we know.” Terrace to participate in a scrapbookThe school also tries to give back and ing class at the Coupeville Art Center. be involved in a variety of ways, including hosting faculty lectures, community Coupeville.

FESTIVAL CONTINUED ties and more. It runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. A juried art gallery and wine reception will serve as the kickoff to the festival 7 p.m. Friday at the Couepville Recreation Hall, 901 NW Alexander St. Advance tickets may be purchased for $20 at bayleaf, Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, Coupeville Arts Center and Lind’s Pharmacy in Coupeville. Tickets are $25 at the door. One thing that is changing this year is there won’t be an Artists in Action area. Festival Association President Mike Dessert said the location they normally used was unavailable to the festival this year and there were no other suitable locations. The Coupeville Chamber of Commerce is running the wine and beer garden and information booth. All of the proceeds from the festival go back into the community in the form of grants and scholarships. Since the 1980s, the association has supported Coupeville High School’s History Day program. In exchange, History Day students help the festival by picking up garbage over both days. The Coupeville Boys and Girls Club runs the parking on the community green and will receive 60 percent of the proceeds from that. One change this year, Dessert said, is that parking will be $5 opposed to the previous $3. Last year, nearly 2,000 cars paid to park in the designated festival parking, Dessert said. The festival will feature live music both days near the food court in the municipal parking lot. For event info, go to www.coupevillefestival.com
