Frohnmayer, Braman terms end in December, have served a combined 20 years

By Joseph [email protected]

Since the late 1960s, Pat Braman has been involved with the Mercer Island School District. She has been a teacher, a union represen-tative, a parent and grandparent of Islander students — and a member of the MISD Board of Directors.

Now, she is one of two School Board members moving on to the next chapter.

With terms ending this

December, Braman and Mercer Island School Board President Janet Frohnmayer have decided to step down from their board of director chairs.

Vice President Brian Emanuels also will see his term end in December 2015, but hasn’t yet said what he plans to do.

Frohnmayer will wrap her sec-ond term on the board, where she’s served both as president and vice president.

After sending her youngest child off to college, Frohnmayer said her commitments to some of her other philanthropic endeavors may relocate her off-Island. She is board president of the Diabesity Research Foundation and serves as a board member of Educurious, both nonprofit organizations that

operate out of Seattle. “We moved here with a two-

year-old and definitely were attracted to the schools and sense of community,” she said. “It’s a wonderful community to raise a family.”

One the first tasks with the board Frohnmayer faced in 2008 involved the search process for a new superintendent, which result-ed in the hiring of then-interim Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano. Frohnmayer said the decision to hire Plano was one of the most important accomplishments dur-ing her time on the board. She also said developing the 2020 Vision, which articulated the School District’s mission to prepare its students for a 21st Century edu-cation, was fundamental to the district’s success.

“You can see how it’s really created a foundation for a lot of the work in the district, even though it was probably six-plus years ago that it was developed,”

Two to step down from School Board

Joel Wachs narrowly won a seat on the Mercer Island City Council after four rounds of voting on Tuesday, Jan. 20.

Tana Senn, who previously held the Council position, resigned on Jan. 5 to focus full-time on her role in the state legislature. Eleven Islanders applied to fill her spot, and the Council shrunk the pool down to four — Wachs, Terry Pottmeyer, Steve Marshall and Wendy Weiker — after one round of voting.

Wachs defeated Pottmeyer 3-2 in the final round. Councilmember Jane Brahm was absent for the vote.

2015 Spotlight ON BUSINESS

The Roanoke Inn has witnessed a lot of change since we opened in 1914. Horseback was the principal mode of transportation and patrons came to visit via ferry from the Leschi neighborhood in Seattle. Two World Wars were fought, abolitionist policies have come and gone, great depressions were weathered, and fl oating bridges were constructed to support the growth of automobiles. Both radio and television and now the evolution of the computer generation has changed many things. But no matter what the Inn has witnessed, the Rowy has always been the community’s extended living room to discuss all the topics of daily importance. The Rowy cherishes its role as the informal gathering spot for all class reunions and gives a heartfelt thanks to all those who have gathered here. For fi ve generations, we’ve also been the place to be for all those attending college to come back home and reunite with their buddies. We have been the place that mothers, fathers & grandparents have brought their newly turned 21 year olds for their fi rst beer. May the traditions continue!

Chef T opened his � rst café in 2005 in the heart of Buckhead in Atlanta GA. He was known for hearty sandwiches, delicious soups and mouth watering daily hot meals. However, a restaurant in the Metropolitan Seattle area has always been a vision of Chef Hemmed Thomas. After searching the area, he felt that Mercer Island would be the perfect place for him.

Chef T started his culinary adventure as a young chef on the Caribbean Island of Dominica at the prestigious Fort Young Hotel where he gained his initial culinary training. After a few years, he moved to New York to perfect his skills. Word soon spread about his culinary expertise, and was invited to cook for music producer Jermaine Dupree and became the personal chef to NBA start Jamal Tinsley (Indiana Pacers), Eric Snow (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Atlanta’s Chris Tucker and many more. He has made television apprences on Blab TV with Chef Maxell, TV One Atlanta with Celebrity chef CT Garvin.

Chef T is a competitive chef and at 17 years old was the � rst place winner of the Dominica food competition and competed against Myron Mixon in the Sam’s’ Club Orlando BBQ competition.

When you arrive at Island Broiler you will be greeted with hospitality and food that will leave you wanting to come back for more.

The other candidates were Megan Coppersmith Szerwo, Darren Gold, Bradley Jennison, Ralph Jorgenson, Andrew Lamb, Carl Silverberg and Matthew Tardif. At a spe-cial Council meeting on Jan. 6, candidates were invited to give a short speech and answer questions supplied by Councilmembers.

Councilmember Debbie Bertlin said that her cri-teria for voting was based on level of commitment to the community. Wachs has served on boards for the library, open space conser-vancy and Farmers Market.

“Public policy and volun-teering have been a central focus of my life,” he wrote in his application for the Council vacancy. “Working with (different) groups has given me not only a deeper understanding of the vari-ous public policy issues confronting our community and region, but also a voice in solving some of them.”

Wachs said his first goals will be to work with Islanders on updating the Town Center code and to listen to residents about their views concerning the related issues of growth and change in the community.

He was appointed to serve on the Town Center Visioning Subcommittee.

Councilmembers said that Wachs could hit the ground running. He was sworn in by City Clerk Ali Spietz and took his seat at the dais for the remainder of the Jan. 20 meeting.

Wachs also participated in the Council’s planning session over the weekend.

His leadership experienc-es extend beyond the Island. He served as president of the Washington State Farmers Market Association, and on the PCC Farmland Trust and the AgForestry Leadership program.

“I cannot imagine my life now without these ties or my deep commitment to Mercer Island, the Puget Sound region and the state of Washington,” he said.

The Council appointment is effective until November 2015, when the seat will be contested during the gen-eral election.

Deputy Mayor Dan Grausz said that the next Council election presents an opportunity for the applicants who were not appointed.

“Prove that you want to be on this Council, and run in the next election,” Grausz said. “This is an elected office, not an appointed office.”

City Hall solar project close to fruition

By Katie Metzgerkmetzger@,mi-reporter.com

Pledges have been received for about 75 per-cent of a large community solar installation planned for the roof of City Hall, city officials said.

Three city councilmem-bers said they would invest in the array, which will be 273 panels and 75 kilo-watts. It will be financed by community investors, who receive a solar pro-duction payment from the state set at $1.08 per kilo-watt hour.

Those payments are currently scheduled to end in summer 2020, so time is of the essence, said Ross Freeman, city sustainabil-ity and communications manager.

“For this to succeed, it must start producing no later than June 1 of

this year, and right now we’d still like to hear from another dozen potential supporters,” Freeman said.

The investment pool must be closed by early February. Pre-engineering, design and installation is expected to take up to two months.

The project has been deemed technically fea-sible after experts assessed City Hall’s roof and explored the necessary electrical connections.

Community solar proj-ects provide a way for residents to support solar, even if they don’t have a suitable location on their own property.

“We reached over 500 residents last summer with our popular Solarize campaign, leading to 45 new rooftop installa-tions across the Island,” Freeman said. “But almost 100 people who wanted to install panels sim-ply couldn’t, usually due to excessive shade. For about the same amount

of money, they could still support clean renewable energy via the City Hall project.”

Several projects have recently been complet-ed by Seattle City Light. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) supports Mercer Island’s efforts, but is not willing to actively lead, or own, these projects, Freeman said in a community solar update at the City Council’s plan-ning session on Jan. 24.

Investors have a mini-mum participation level of $10,000 and a maximum of $25,000. After assessing an initial bid from a quali-fied installer, the total cost of the entire project is expected to be approxi-mately $375,000, which is mainly for hardware and labor but also includes contingency, legal fees,

paperwork and adminis-tration.

When the current state production program ends in 2020, investors will decide how and whether to sell the installation to the City. In the mean-time, they will be rent-ing the necessary roof space on City Hall, and the city will benefit by using 100 percent of the power produced, help-ing offset several months’ worth of normal power purchased from PSE, and reducing the carbon emis-sions associated with city operations. The Council resolved in May 2007 to reduce Mercer Island emissions by 80 percent from 2007 levels by 2050.

City Manager to speak at Chamber lunch

Mercer Island City Manager Noel Treat will be the speaker at the Feb. 5 luncheon meet-ing of the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce. at the MICEC.

Treat has had a �rst year full of challenges.

Issues confronting the city included the possibility of tolling on I-90, contaminated water, the controversy about remodeling the library, the call for more commuter parking and the integration of light rail.

Luncheon cost is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. For reservations and more information, contact the Chamber o�ce at 206-232-3404.

Commuter park-ing study and survey on line

The results of a study on commuter parking alternatives within walk-ing distance of the cur-rent Park and Ride loca-tion has been completed. The findings of the study, along with the criteria used to assess each park-ing option, were deliv-ered to the Council at its annual Planning Session last weekend.

The study will also be presented to the public at an open house meet-ing on Jan. 29, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Mercer Island Community and Events Center. The study, along with a comment form, is available online at the city’s website on the ‘commuter parking

web page.’ See PAGE 8 for more.

City’s updated open space plan ready for review

For the past 10 years, Mercer Island has been restoring its open space, — removing ivy, holly and other invasive plants and planting native trees and shrubs. Now the city is in the process of updating the plan that guides this work.

The past decade’s work has resulted in reducing the amount of invasive plants by half, according to a new study that assessed hundreds of study plots.

In an additional 142 plots, the number of native conifer trees regenerating in the forest averaged 78 trees per acre

versus almost zero 10 years ago.

Climate change is likely to increase stress on native trees, said Alaine Sommargren, natural resources spe-cialist. While the Pacific Northwest is expected to escape the more severe climate change antici-pated in other parts of the U.S., increased sum-mer drought could harm drought-sensitive native trees such as western hemlock and western red cedar.

The public is invited to review the draft plan and provide com-ments until Feb. 17. A public meeting on the updated draft plan will be held, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5 at the Mercer Island Community and Events Center.

Advocacy Committee takes message to Olympia

On the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday last Monday, Jan 19, the Mercer Island School District (MISD) Advocacy Committee, consisting of representatives from each of the six schools in the district, made the trip to Olympia to attend the 2015 Washington State PTA Annual Legislative Focus Day. Committee members also met with state legislators to discuss funding issues facing MISD.

In an email sent to the Reporter, the MISD

Advocacy Committee detailed its advocacy mes-sage with the following objectives:

-The Legislature should ensure that McCleary is fully-funded while main-taining the definition of basic education, and that during this process, no further restrictions, limita-tions or reductions occur with respect to local com-munities’ ability to supple-ment education through local district education levies.

-If levy lids were reduced by three percent, five percent or 10 percent, this would equate to MISD losing $1.08 million, $1.80 million or $3.6 million, respectively.

-Reducing local levies

will result in some com-munities losing significant school funding. During this critical legislative ses-sion, Washington lawmak-ers must ensure that stu-dents in certain districts are not actually harmed by their actions on the McCleary decision.

The group met briefly with Representatives Tana Senn and Judy Clibborn to share its message, and was tentatively scheduled to meet with Senator Steve Litzow, but unable to meet due to the relative short notice of the trip.

The advocacy message was composed by Mercer Island’s PTA Legislative Advocacy Team, which included the Legislative advocacy representatives

from all six Mercer Island schools, School Board Director Pat Braman, MI Education Association President Tani Lindquist and City Councilmember Mike Cero.

Listen online to MIHS musicians perform on KPLU radio

Last week, six mem-bers of the Mercer Island High School jazz pro-gram were featured in a performance on KPLU radio, 88.5 FM, Jan. 15 at KPLU’s Belltown studio. KPLU recently posted the performance on its website (http://www.kplu.org/post/live-studio-session-mer-

cer-island-high-school-jazz-sextet-special-guest-jay-thomas).

The performance was part of the KPLU School of Jazz project. KPLU selects 10 schools to participate in the project and sends a guest artist to each partici-pating school to work with students and prepare the performance. The guest artist also participates with the students during their on-air performance. The guest artist for MIHS was trumpet and saxophonist Jay Thomas.

The performing students are: Riley Fang, saxophone; Shea Kelsay, trumpet; Tynan McGee, trombone; Eric Westergard, piano; Max Van Gelder, bass and Dylan Lesko on drums.

Mercer Island School District 2015 Childfind notice As required by Washing-ton state law, the Mercer Island School District (MISD) is o�ering Child�nd activities to locate, evaluate, and identify students age birth to 21 with suspected disabling conditions, regardless of the severity of their disability, who are residing within the bound-aries of the Mercer Island School District and are not currently receiving special education services.

Revised boundaries will determine which elementary school children will attend

By Reporter Sta�The Mercer Island

School District (MISD) Boundary Committee, charged with presenting MISD Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano with a recom-mendation for new elemen-tary boundaries for the four elementary schools that will determine school place-ments for students begin-ning in the 2016-17 school year, will hold a public hearing of their final rec-ommendation Wednesday,

Feb. 4 at Islander Middle School.

“Over the past four months, the Boundary Committee has been hard at work developing new kindergar-ten through fifth-grade boundaries consistent with the values set by the School Board and the needs of the Mercer I s l a n d c o m m u -nity,” said MISD Chief Finance/Operations Officer Dean Mack, who has served as a technical adviser to the committee. “The Boundary

Committee has received a great amount of communi-ty input during this process, both online and at the pub-lic preview in December.”

“The public hearing on Feb. 4 is the best opportunity for Mercer Island com-m u n i t y m e m b e r s to directly view the work of the B o u n d a r y Committee and to share ideas or con-cerns direct-

ly with members,” said Dr. Plano.

The committee consists of 16 members, including

each elementary school principal, parent represen-tatives with children at each elementary school chosen in concert with each ele-mentary PTA, and com-munity members without children at the elementary level. Mack and Director of Transportation and Emergency Management Todd Kelsay serve as techni-cal advisers to the commit-tee, and consultant Richard Withycombe serves as the facilitator.

The committee is sched-uled to adopt the final rec-ommendation to Dr. Plano by the end of Feb. 2015.

More information about the Boundary Committee, including meeting min-utes, current opportunities for public input, commit-tee values, and member-ship can be found on the Boundary Committee web-page of the MISD website.

LAURIE PHILIPSRetired

Mercer Island

T he call came many years ago, when my eldest son, now a father himself, was in elementary school. It was from an acquain-

tance I’d met through PTA. She called to ask for my help. Her husband, the wage earner for the family,

had lost his job. The electric bill was unpaid, the mortgage in arrears, and the kids were hungry. She was desperate, and she didn’t know what to do.

I was shocked by her call. This was the cheerful volunteer that I saw working a shift at Metrathon, or shelving books in the school library — and I

had absolutely no idea that her family was struggling, or that her children were headed to school each day tired, scared and hungry.

What I did know was that she needed much more than the few dollars our family might be able to spare to ‘tide them over’ for a week.

I referred her to Mercer Island Youth and Family Services (MIYFS), tell-ing her that I thought they might be able to help with the electric bill, food, maybe referrals to other resources? I hung up, worried for her family, and hoping I had been right, that MIYFS really could help. You see, all I knew for sure about MIYFS back then was that they provided the counselor at our school.

It turned out that my hopes were well found-ed. She called me back in tears to tell me that MIYFS could help. She was relieved and grateful, and she thanked me again and again. I deflected her gratitude, embarrassed by her thanks — I’d just made a referral, MIYFS had done the rest.

As I hung up I found that I, too, was deep-

ly grateful. The kids would be fed, the lights would stay on, and a knowledgeable profes-sional would be there as the family recovered its footing. MIYFS, my community organization, had done what I could never have done as an indi-vidual — help a family in difficult circumstances take care of their kids and each other.

That day I became a whole hearted supporter of our MIYFS programs.

Mercer Island’s Youth and Family Services was founded in 1973. Recognizing that families need help raising healthy kids, King County made funding available to school district communities

to launch Youth Service Bureaus.

Mercer Island pulled together a one month study to consider the idea, appointing community lead-ers and experts on youth issues to make a recom-mendation to the City Council. This year’s breakfast co-chair, Dean

Quigley, served on this committee. They recom-mended the immediate adoption of a ‘youth service bureau’, the council agreed and in March, 1973 MIYFS was launched.

What an important day and deci-sion for Island families!

Over the decades, the needs of our youth and families have changed, and MIYFS has responded. Today, MIYFS provides support for youth, families, and elders, ensuring that the human needs of our commu-

nity are met professionally, compassionately, and com-prehensively.

MIYFS makes it possible for every individual in our com-munity to work together to support each other through life’s journey, particularly when the road is rough.

We’ll be celebrating this wonderful organization and its work at a community breakfast on Feb. 11. We’ll also be remembering our responsibility to ensuring it has the resourc-es it needs to do this important work by making our individual donations.

Together, we can accomplish what none of us can do alone — ensuring that our community’s youth and families and seniors have the support they need to thrive.

Come have breakfast with Dean and I — the food is good, the location convenient and the cause the very best — supporting our neigh-bors. We hope to see you there!

Dean Quigley served on the 1973 task force recommending the creation of a Youth Service Bureau on Mercer Island. I, Terry Pottmeyer, have served on the board of the MIYFS Foundation, helping to launch the first ‘Giving from the Heart’ breakfast event. We both have seats available at our tables and would love to share breakfast

with you on Feb. 11. To find out more about the

programs and the resources available from the City of Mercer Island Youth and Family Services, visit miyfs.org. Registration is available online at miyfs.org or by calling 206-275-7611.

To the editor‘Kite Hill’ is a valuable resource

The Friends of Luther Burbank Park agree that there is a parking problem on Mercer Island, and has been for some time. But we disagree that using Kite Hill for future parking needs should be reopened for study. This hill is a valu-able piece of real estate, with fabulous views and the possibility of events such as weddings being held here. And the Master Plan for Luther Burbank Park does indeed show it as part of the Park, and does not endorse using it for parking!

We find it interesting that the words “Kite Hill” appeared in the Reporter only three times, as opposed to many more terms that appeared more often. However, the possibility of using Kite Hill for parking only became public a few weeks ago.

There was a huge pub-lic outcry. More than 650 Mercer Islanders signed an online petition, and more than 250 added comments, unanimously opposed to using Kite Hill for parking.

After the Council’s deci-sion to take it off the table for study, it became less controversial. But if the City Council were to continue to consider paving Luther Burbank’s Kite Hill, we ask the Reporter to give as much coverage to that issue

as they did to the Island Crest Way “road diet” and then see how our commu-nity responds. In any case, let’s get creative, and not pave park land.

At its annual planning session on Jan. 23 and 24 at the Community and Events Center, the City Council reviewed its 2014 work plan and planned for 2015. The Council did not conduct any official business or votes, but discussed Town Center development, commuter parking, Metro service, the biennial budget and the community solar project.

Council to consider moratorium on down-town development

Mercer Island’s Town Center has been growing steadily in the past few years, and development is expected to continue with the arrival of light rail in 2023.

Some Islanders are concerned

about the impacts that increased density will have on schools, traf-fic and city infrastructure, and have asked the Council to con-sider imposing a moratorium on new Town Center development while the city is updating its com-prehensive plan and undergoing a Town Center visioning process.

City Attorney Katie Knight said that other Seattle area cities have imposed moratoriums, includ-ing Marysville, Sammamish and Kirkland, but that it’s a “risky legal maneuver” that’s “expensive to defend” in court, whether the city wins or not.

“As we discussed at our plan-ning session this past weekend, the city has the legal authority to impose a moratorium but doing so could expose the city to costly litigation,” Deputy Mayor Dan Grausz wrote in an email update.

Grausz said that concerns were sparked by a picture of the Hines project — which is “a ‘massing study’ in urban design and was not intended as a visual depic-

tion of what will ultimately be proposed by Hines or agreed to by the city.”

Upcoming projects like Hines wouldn’t be affected by code revi-sions or moratoriums if they are ‘vested’ before those take effect.

Councilmember Jane Brahm said that discontent with Town Center predates the visioning pro-cess and the circulation of the Hines picture.

“It’s not just a reaction to one project,” Brahm said at the plan-ning session on Jan. 23.

The visioning process began in June 2013. An outside urban plan-ning expert, Seth Harry, was hired last fall and presented ideas for code revisions and public gather-ing spaces in December.

“Future development would be dramatically different from what we have seen to date — but we would still have development,” Grausz said.

The Council is creating a public process that will enable Islanders to discuss what kind of Town

Center they want to see going forward, with or without a mora-torium, Grausz said.

City works with Metro on restoring some Island bus service

Mercer Island city officials have been working with King County Metro to implement alternative transit services on the Island to partially replace some of the routes that were cut in September.

Mayor Bruce Bassett said that “big busses running around empty doesn’t make sense,” and Mercer Island’s programs could be “repre-sentative examples for other com-munities.”

The King County Council expanded Metro’s alternative ser-vices program last fall, and Mercer Island was identified as a priority for those services due to the level of reduction - almost 75 percent. Some of the services include shut-tles, Trip Pools and community vans. Metro surveyed displaced riders to find out what would

work best for them. “The plan was never to restore

that service in its entirety as doing so was not economically feasible,” Deputy Mayor Dan Grausz said.

About 65 percent of the 240 survey respondents said they would use a community shuttle more than three times per week. Metro designed routes that would run from the Presbyterian Church Park and Ride to the North-end of the Island and on to First Hill and downtown Seattle.

Metro is still identifying the vehicles that would be used. They are expected to make five trips in the morning and five in the after-noon, carrying up to 18 people. The program is expected to be jointly funded by Metro, Mercer Island and Seattle’s Transportation Benefit District.

If the financial arrangements are approved by the Council, the service will formally begin in June with the possibility of a “soft launch” as early as March, though ORCA cards wouldn’t be accepted in that time.

City briefsCity considers revising off-leash rules in Pioneer Park

A group of Islanders has asked the city to require leashes on a trail in the northwest quadrant of Pioneer Park, citing con-cerns about dogs going into neighbors’ yards, as the trail is closely aligned with their property line.

They brought their pro-posal to the Open Space Conservancy Trust. Former trustee and newly appointed City Councilmember Joel

Wachs said that he’s walked that trail, and there are “periodic problems,” and voice control isn’t always effective.

The issue will be brought before the City Council in an upcoming meeting to solicit public opinion.

AT&T reopens application for more wireless facilities

AT&T withdrew an ordi-nance amendment to “bring reliable wireless technology to Mercer Island” by build-

ing additional facilities after its proposal raised questions at the Jan. 5 City Council meeting.

Since then, the firm has sent a letter to the city expressing continued inter-est in updating the city’s ordinance, as it has an “urgent need” to upgrade a facility at the corner of S.E. 28th Street and 61st Avenue S.E. Though it’s a residential area, there is already a tower in that area that was “grand-fathered in” to the city’s cur-rent regulations.

Lawyers from Busch Law Firm, representing AT&T, said the existing facility can’t keep up with demand.

AT&T wants to build the facilities to solve problems

with “dead spots” and over-load caused by increased data usage.

AT&T also wanted to put facilities at Islander Middle School and the South Mercer playfields, and amend the city code to allow small cells around the Island, but the Council remained concerned about putting the facilities in neighborhoods.

“Advancements in design and technology, including stealth/camouflage facili-ties and small cells, are new tools to improve service with minimal impact on community aesthetics,” an AT&T representative wrote in the letter.

The Council discussed

the letter at its planning ses-sion on Jan. 24.

New King County Library director starts work

Gary Wasdin, the new King County Library System (KCLS) Director, started work on Jan. 26 after moving from Omaha. City officials and the Concerned Citizens group have meet-ings scheduled with Wasdin next week.

They will “begin discus-sions on the procedure that will be followed to ensure that Islanders have a greater say in the renovation proj-ect,” Deputy Mayor Dan Grausz said.

The Concerned Citizens group formed in opposi-tion to the KCLS plans to remodel the Island library, which they felt didn’t reflect the character of the com-munity.

Islanders voted on a bond in 2004 for $730,000 worth of “necessary updates,” but the cost of the proposed renovation was increased to $3.4 million.

The Mercer Island City Council sent a letter to the KCLS Board of Trustees in November asking that the library remodel be put on hold, which they agreed to do in order to “pause and reengage,” listen to public input and hire a new direc-tor.

Sound Transit gets $1.3 billion loan

Sound Transit has been approved for a $1.3 billion federal loan to revive the

voter-approved $4 billion light rail project stalled by revenue drop in the Puget Sound region.

According to several sources, this is the larg-

est single Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan to a transit agency in the coun-try and the second largest loan overall, and at the low-est rate — 2.38 percent — in the 25-year history of the program.

The low-interest loan offers more favorable terms than traditional bonds. The loan will increase Sound Transit’s financial capacity and will enable the Sound Transit board to poten-tially restore some voter-approved Sound Transit 2 projects that were sus-pended as a result of the recession and help reduce

risks of scope reductions or delays.

“This is great news for commuters, the local econ-omy, and Washington state taxpayers,” said U.S. Sen. Patty Murray in a Sound Transit media release. “I was proud to support this funding for Sound Transit as they continue building a world class transit system that will help our economy continue to grow and cre-ate jobs here in Washington state.”

The agency applied for the loan after the recession wiped out $4.5 billion in projected ST2 revenues.

Council to address other matters first

By Katie [email protected]

Following public outcry regarding the proposal to build a parking lot on the hill next to the Community and Event Center (MICEC), the city hired a consultant to study alternative sites for commuter parking.

Mayor Bruce Bassett said that in response to a question in the last bien-nial survey about how Town Center can be improved, 22 percent of Islanders said to “increase parking” and 11 percent said to “stop build-ing and development.”

Priorities seem to have shifted in the past month, and the Council wants to focus on the city’s compre-hensive planning and Town Center visioning processes before continuing to study parking.

A potential parking facil-ity would ideally be paid for by Sound Transit as mitiga-tion for “loss of mobility” with the coming of light rail and the closure of the I-90 center lanes, which means it would need to be opera-tional by the time the South Bellevue Park and Ride

closes in 2017. After South Bellevue is reopened, the lot would operate as a Mercer Island-only facility.

The parking consul-tant, Ben Pariser, was told to explore properties that are owned by the city, and by private land owners. He evaluated a list of 15 options — some closer to Town Center, the current Park and Ride and the future light rail station, and some further — which were dis-cussed at the City Council’s planning session on Jan. 23.

After going through the list, the Council decided to prioritize the other plan-ning projects, attempting to align more with citizen sen-timent but possibly push-ing the parking project off Sound Transit’s timeline.

Two of the 15 were the MICEC options — a struc-tured lot and a surface lot — that were initially proposed by Sound Transit.

The MICEC surface lot is one of the cheaper options. It would cost $1 million, yield 203 stalls and be avail-able in one year. But coun-cilmembers promised that studies of that site would be stopped. City Manager Noel Treat said it was included in the report “for comparison purposes.”

“We are not actively

considering MICEC as an option and have discontin-ued our discussions with Sound Transit about the site,” Treat said.

Pariser evaluated the other sites based on loca-tion (in distance and walk-ing time), quantity (in area and number of stalls), costs, timing and availability. The two most plausible sites appear to be Freshy’s and the King Property, where the Hines mixed-use devel-opment is planned.

Most sites were ruled out. Restriping the lot by Mercer Isle Condo would yield zero new stalls. The old Rehabilitation Center is “cost prohibitive” as it is a planned site for 48 town-homes and three single-family residences. A Dollar Development Co. prop-erty, formerly a Travelodge Motel, is unavailable as it may be redeveloped into a five-story boutique hotel with more than 100 rooms.

Pariser also looked at sites currently occupied by businesses, includ-ing Albertson’s, Bank of America and AutoSpa, which don’t have much incentive to sell to the city.

Another option is to expand the current garage by Chase Bank, but tem-porary parking would have to be provided during con-struction.

Other ideas include ask-

ing WSDOT about using the Sunset Sculpture Park, I-90 boat launch and Overlook Park, but community reac-tion to “paving parks for parking lots” is expected to be similar to the MICEC site, and the boat launch is more than two miles from Town Center.

The South Luther Burbank lot was also ruled out on basis of distance, though councilmember Mike Cero was pushing for that option. Three stories of parking on that site would

yield 228 new stalls. The city would potentially pro-vide a shuttle bus service to the Park and Ride.

One of the more attractive options, the Freshy’s site, is well-situated, but expensive. It would cost $2.4 million to buy the land and $5.1 mil-lion to develop. A four-story structure would yield 172 stalls. It is about a half-mile walk from the current Park and Ride, but there are con-cerns about traffic concur-rency and contamination.

Hines approached the city

with an offer to provide one floor of commuter park-ing, which would yield 240 stalls, in exchange for an additional floor of residen-tial units, but public opposi-tion to the proposed height increase is anticipated.

An open house regard-ing commuter parking is scheduled for Thursday,

Jan. 29 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the MICEC. The com-

prehensive plan and Town Center visioning may also

be discussed.

Parking lot studies on hold

City of Mercer IslandConsultant Ben Pariser evaluated 15 sites for potential commuter parking lots (the boat launch option does not appear in this graphic). The City Council said that other projects, including the comprehensive plan update and the Town Center visioning process, should be prioritized over the parking study.

Frohnmayer said. “It still guides the overarch-ing principles that guide the work.”

Frohnmayer believes the groundwork has been laid for whoever steps in next to have a smooth transition. The board’s governance model helps define the roles of the board and the superinten-dent.

“We’ve sort hung in there with it. We keep tweaking it and adjusting it, and we’re at a point where the model is doing what it’s supposed to be doing,” Frohnmayer said. “We’re monitoring the 2020 Vision, so we know the district is going in the direction we want with the Vision and the expec-tations that need to hap-pen are happening.

“The governance model is in a place where new people can come on the board and use it. It will support them, even though they didn’t neces-sarily create it.”

Braman has held a myriad of roles within the schools since she was hired by Superintendent Robert S. Studebaker and began teaching in September of 1968. After teaching high school

English for 26 years, Braman remained active in the teacher’s associa-tion, serving as president several times, and worked as executive director for the Mercer Island Education Association.

She was elected to the school board in November of 2003. She said at the time, the district was in turmoil.

“We lost several super-intendents, and we were looking for people to run for the school board and no one would,” Braman recalled. “So I said, ‘Well, I guess I need to do it myself.’”

Since then, Braman ran unopposed twice and served as board president, vice president and legis-lative representative. She said her 12 years of ser-vice offered stability for the board — something that previously may not have always been present. Like Frohnmayer, she also pointed to the institution of the board’s governance model as a turning point for the board.

“The governance model makes it clear the job of the superintendent and the job of the board,” Braman said. “The system works well with a capable superintendent. Without a capable superintendent, it gets really hard.”

Finding a capable superintendent is what Braman is most proud of while serving as a board member.

“The most important thing that happened was we had the good sense to hire Dr. Plano,” Braman said. “I think that dra-matically changed and improved the district.”

While she still has grandchildren in school, Braman thinks it’s impor-tant for people who serve on the board to have chil-dren in Mercer Island schools. She hopes who-ever steps in is a fresh face with young children.

“I’m hoping we can find diversity, some different-looking kinds of faces,” she said.

After seeing the passage of the second bond mea-sure last year and a new elementary school on the horizon, Braman believes the district is in a good place, and she can now focus on the other parts of her life. She has her own business, and with grand-children who play soccer, has become quite the fan.

“There have been major changes in the schools since I started in 1968,” Braman said. “We’ve always been what I con-sider a ‘lighthouse school district. I believe it is even more so today.”

Teens honored for community service

Helping out with every-thing from King County Search and Rescue to horse camp to the Rotary Run, Mercer Island High School students are involved in their community. Whether it is through their faith community, service club or their passion, the teens have spent hundreds of hours working for others both near and far.

Their time has been spent helping build a house

in Mexico, volunteering at a Korean School or with organizations such as Global Visionaries and ‘Stop Violence Against Women.’

Closer to home, the vol-unteers give their time at Kelsey Creek Farm, at the Veteran’s Hospital or with coaching kids soccer and many other causes.

Islander Nelson Hayes had the most recorded vol-unteer hours, counting 436 hours in the first academic quarter. Hayes volunteers with Seattle Amigo and the Mercer Island VOICE

program. The following students

have also been recognized for their service during the first two quarters of the school year.

They are: Ben Elliot, Jonathan Costa, Joseph Shin, Taylan Yuasa, Nick Hanson, Kaya Robertson, Shaarika Kaul, Angela Zhu, Brooke Beherbaum, Matt Manner, Madison Nimmo, Sungmin Na, Michelle You, Christina Zhang, Chandler Cahill, Peter Battisti, Lydia Venditti, Alice MacCormack.

Bellevue deals blow to Islanders’ KingCo title hopesWolverines end MI run of five unbeaten KingCo seasons

By Joseph Livarchik [email protected]

Mercer Island wrestling saw a run of five unbeaten seasons in KingCo com-petition come to an end Thursday night, falling to Bellevue 41-34 at MIHS. The win gave Bellevue a tiebreaker over Mercer Island with one week to go in the KingCo regular sea-son, likely meaning the end for the Islanders’ five-year

Three-ball falls as MI girls drop RebelsMI’s Blumenstein hits six from deep in Islander win


Three was the magic number in the Juanita gym Friday night. Three times in the third quarter, Juanita cut a double-digit Mercer Island lead to single dig-its. And three times, the Islanders responded, rely-ing on their 3-point shot to maintain a double-digit advantage.

Knocking down nine 3-pointers as a team on the evening, Mercer

Island girls basketball beat Juanita 68-54 Friday night at Juanita High School,

improving to 10-5 on the season and 6-2 in KingCo.

Julia Blumenstein

accounted for six of Mercer Island’s 3-pointers, lead-ing the Islanders in scoring with 20 points.

“We had a great shoot-ing night, and that [doesn’t happen] every night,” coach Kaela Yuen said. “Julia shoots really well in this gym, which is weird because the depth percep-tion is kind of tough to shoot with. She always has great games when we come here, and she just stepped up and was a senior tonight and put a lot of the scoring responsibility on her shoul-ders.”

The Islanders overcame a sluggish start to extend

Mercer Island boys hammer Juanita


Mercer Island was plan-ning to get its offense going through its inside game against Juanita Friday night. But with four quick 3-point-ers in the second quarter, it was the long-range game that proved to be the cata-lyst for the Islanders.

Hitting outside shots while holding Juanita to single digits in each of the first two quarters, Mercer Island boys basketball ran away from the Rebels in a 67-32 win Friday night at Juanita High School.

While hoping to see more offense created in the post, Mercer Island coach Gavin Cree said if the shots were falling, he wasn’t going to complain.

“Once we got comfort-

able, we started hitting and we had a lot of confidence,” Cree said. “We did a nice job of moving the ball and really anticipating where everyone was going to be. It was nice basketball to see when you share the ball and you set your teammates up.”

Leading 13-7 after one, Mercer Island (12-5, 7-1) hit four-consecutive 3-point shots in the second quarter, extending a five-point lead to 17 amidst a 13-0 run to close the first half. The Islander defense was just as good, holding the Rebels (2-15, 0-9) to four points in the quarter as Mercer Island took a 29-11 lead into half-time.

points in the third, getting eight points off the bench from Sam Nordale, who knocked down a 3-pointer just before the buzzer to give Mercer Island a 51-22 advantage. Ethan Chen paced the Islanders in the fourth, scoring eight points in the final period.

Mercer Island had three players reach double fig-ures, getting 12 points

from Chen and 10 from Josh Stenberg. Nordale led the Islanders in scoring with 15 points, his second-straight game posting dou-ble figures.

“He’s really emerged for us, it’s been good to see,” Cree said of Nordale’s performance. “He’s been that guy who’s come out and given us an offensive boost, and his defense has improved. At the begin-ning of the season, he was a young guy who didn’t have

a lot of defensive experi-ence. Now he’s got more experience and he’s really stepping up on that end, so you can have him out there for long stretches and he gives us a great offensive touch.”

Mercer Island took on Interlake Tuesday, Jan. 27 at Interlake High School after the Reporter dead-line. Next, the Islanders will face Sammamish at 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30 at MIHS.

a three-point first-quarter lead to 17 in the second period. Juanita (6-11, 4-5) managed to cut the defi-cit to nine, getting seven points from Jaisa Nunn to close out the half trailing 35-26.

A basket from Natalie Kalda brought Juanita within seven in the third, before Mercer Island unleashed from beyond the arc. Knocking down five 3-point field goals as a team for the quarter, with three coming from Blumenstein, the Islanders extended their lead to 17 heading into the fourth. The Rebels would get no closer than 11.

Nunn led all scorers with 21 points. Jess Blakeslee posted a double-double for Mercer Island, with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Back in action for Mercer Island was start-ing post player Anna Luce, who returned after

suffering a broken nose against Bellevue on Jan. 14. Sporting a protective mask, Luce scored 13 points for the Islanders, while helping space the floor and giving her team the paint presence they missed in her absence.

“Getting the inside-out looks are vital to our suc-cess, and [Luce] is such a strong inside player for us,” Yuen said. “Within her

limit, she played very well. And because we got the ball inside, we were very successful from the 3-point line. I think she makes a dif-ference. When our subs got in there, we got it inside-out. All our posts were very good passers today.”

Next, Mercer Island trav-els to Interlake High School to take on the Saints at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28.

The Seahawks’ second straight trip to the Super Bowl has unified our entire state.

You can hardly pass anyone on the street without hearing “Go Hawks!” To which you’ll likely respond “Go Hawks!” It reminds me of passing the peace in church.

Can you believe that unlikely victory against Green Bay catapulting the Hawks into the big game? Amazing! At the end of the first half the score was 16-0. Our team was lifeless.

Ironically, I had to miss the second half to officiate a memorial ser-vice. As I contemplated Psalm 23, the shadow of death had multiple meanings. I was mourn-ing the end of an elderly friend’s life as well as the end of the postseason

that held such promise. I was dying inside not

knowing what was going on in the game. As a colleague eulogized the deceased, I hid my smart phone behind my hymnal to peek at the score. The Packers led 16-7 at the end of the third quarter.

In spite of offering hope to the hopeless in the sanctu-ary, I didn’t hold out much hope for the Hawks.

Nonetheless, following the benediction, I bolted out the door in search

of a television. My heart sunk. The score was now 19-7. With three minutes to go, we were down by two touchdowns. Our beloved Seahawks were beaten and all but buried. There was just no way!

And then with you, I witnessed the comeback of the century! It was a resurrection of sorts. The gloom of Good Friday gave way to the glory of Easter Sunday. Sure defeat was trumped by triumph.

Regardless of the out-come of the Super Bowl, I will savor the sweetness of the final few min-utes for years to come. Brothers and sisters, I’ve been to the mountaintop. I’ve seen the Promised Land. Those two quick scores, the two-point conversion, the onside kick, the successful coin toss and that overtime touchdown. Talk about milk and honey!

In a football game we’ll not soon forget, I’ve glimpsed a timeless truth of life. No matter the circumstances, it’s always too soon to give up.

That’s what a first cen-tury rabbi by the name of Paul was getting at when he penned these famil-iar words: “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; per-secuted, but not aban-doned; struck down, but not destroyed…”

The National League of Young Men was founded to foster future community leaders through a program for high school boys. The new Mercer Island chapter is the first chapter outside of the state of California.

The program provides young men the opportu-nity to lead and to serve and meet others involved in community service.

The group recently worked to create a special holiday experience for a large group of homeless men in downtown Seattle,

taking care of everything — preparing and cooking a holiday meal, setting up and serving at the event, and collecting all their necessities and making gift bags for each of them.

“It was amazing to see how much they appreciated it and how we can really help,” said Colin Gersch.

Since the chapter started last fall, the young men worked with with the Seattle Humane Society, homeless shelters, environ-mental organizations and several other local non-

profits.In addition to the com-

munity service projects, the young men have the opportunity to hear speak-ers from the business com-munity, civic service, the sports world and many other sectors to develop and awareness and under-standing of how they can lead in the future.

run as league champs.Mercer Island wrestling

coach Creighton Laughary said Thursday’s loss was the Islanders’ first loss to Bellevue in more than 15 years.

“They’re a tough team,” Laughary said. “Their kids got the pins and our kids didn’t stay off their backs, so they got all those bonus points beyond a three-point win. That hurt us, so we’ll focus on that. We’ve got another dual next week, we’ll try and improve and we’ll see them again in the [postseason] tournament.”

The Wolverines reg-istered six wins by pin or forfeit and took four of the meet’s first five matches. Mercer Island trailed 12-0 through the first two rounds before Taylan Yuasa put the Islanders on the board, win-ning the 120 match by a 25-13 major decision over Aidan Robinson. Bellevue scored wins in the next two matches, winning by pin at 126 and by major decision at 132.

Mercer Island rallied to win four of the next five rounds, with Scott Lee (138), Finn Childress (152) and

Nic Meinzinger-Richards (170) all recording pins, and Trevor Gullstad (145) winning by a 12-7 decision over Garrett Williams. But with Bellevue getting pins from John Mancuso (185) and Zachary England (195) in the next two matches, the Wolverines were able to secure the meet win.

The Islanders won the final two rounds of the night, with Evan Condon (220) winning by an 8-2 decision over Alec Palander

and Dylan Majewski (285) pinning Zavier Powe.

After seeing the almost six-year streak come to an end, the Islander wrestlers were eager to move past the loss. Gullstad noted Mercer Island’s last KingCo defeat came when his older broth-er Connor, now a sopho-more in college, was a fresh-man at MIHS.

“Losing a KingCo dual match isn’t really something we’ve dealt with, but I think you just keep going, look

forward to the next match and keep trying to get those wins,” Gullstad said.

“Every loss has its les-son,” Lee said. “Sometimes it’s better to lose and learn a lesson than it is to win four years straight.”

The Islanders finish the regular season against Liberty at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29 at Liberty High School. Bellevue finishes against Sammamish at 7 p.m. Thursday at Bellevue High School.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
