Choices, choices

At their day-long retreat on Tuesday, June 26, the Mercer Island School District Board of Directors tried to accomplish two projects with one discussion.

The board, which needs to cre-ate a North Mercer campus master plan as part of the agreements dur-ing the PEAK project negotiations, used the opportunity to look at possibilities for the North Mercer campus, and if it could alleviate the district’s big problem: overcrowd-ing.

During the retreat, Mahlum — the architectural firm hired by the district earlier this year — present-

ed seven options for the campus.“We’re at about the mid-point

in the planning process and this is an opportunity for the board to give more input and to talk about community engagement after this,” said Superintendent Gary Plano on Tuesday morning.

Each of the options provides for short and long-term phases, with the final option used for longer range planning.

Several of the options included either a total rebuild of the high school or remodeling it. Mahlum estimated a new high school build-ing would cost somewhere between $100 to $120 million, which could include rebuilding the pool with-in the building. Mahlum also designed the new Issaquah High School, but Dean Mack, the execu-

tive director of business services and human resources, who worked for the Issaquah School District at the time, said that project benefited from the perfect timing.

“Issaquah was built for about $85 million, at the best financial time possible,” said Mack. “We couldn’t duplicate that now.”

The first option, titled minimal impact, would build a sixth school on the northwest corner of the campus, where the preschools and Youth Theatre Northwest are cur-rently located, leaving Mary Wayte Pool in the same location. The sixth school building would house either 450 elementary students or 650 middle school students. The proximity to the Boys & Girls Club would allow for easy access to PEAK, and keep the two full-sized soccer fields where the cur-rent practice fields are. The longer term portion of this option would remodel portions of the high school building.

Option two moved school traf-fic off of the residential streets and

The 81-year old woman whose car crashed into one of the above-ground utility vaults on the side-walk outside of The Mercer apart-ments at 77th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 27th Street, last Monday, was lucky.

Her 2001 Toyota Camry slammed into the box after she ran a red light at the intersection and was broadsided by a car driven by a 24-year-old Islander.

The impact caused her to veer onto the sidewalk and hit the vault.

But it is what she did after the crash that saved her.

School Board looks at options for megablock

| Wednesday, July 4, 2012 MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com

made the entrance for both the high school and school six off of S.E. 40th Street. The sixth school would again be situated in the northwest corner, leaving two full-sized soccer fields, or possibly one if more parking was needed. The high school building would include Crest, with Mary Wayte Pool moving to the area where the district administration building currently is.

This option aims to alle-viate some of the traffic con-cerns by using S.E. 40th, but as traffic has increased on Interstate 90, some board members wondered if add-ing more traffic to an already busy road was necessary.

“All of the options with two schools means a whole lot more people and traffic [in that area],” said board member Brian Emanuels. “What would have to be done to make it more fea-sible? So many more people are using 40th now that I-90 is crowded.”

The third option was another attempt to possi-bility limit traffic on 92nd Avenue S.E. and S.E. 42nd Street. Option three would connect 88th Avenue S.E. through the school’s prop-erty. The project would mean demolishing YTN, the North Mercer gym and Child’s Institute, rebuilding the stadium on the north-west corner, and moving the pool and practice fields. Mary Wayte Pool would move to the area where the stadium is now, while school six would be built where Mary Wayte and the practice fields are now. In the second phase, the high school would be rebuilt, likely as a three-story build-ing, relocating a practice field to the current high school parking lot area.

The fourth option creates a shared point of entry for both the high school and the sixth school off of S.E. 40th with adjoining main parking lots. The sixth school would

be built next to PEAK in the northern corner, sharing a parking lot with the new high school, which would be built directly across from the sixth school. Where the cur-rent MIHS building stands, a high school and commu-nity arts building would be built. The pool would likely be contained within the high school building.

Option five focuses on the community assists currently located on the property, including YTN, the pool and North Mercer gym.

The first phase would relocate the administra-tion building and Crest to a wing of the high school, and move the maintenance of

buses off site. A sixth school would be built where the administration building is currently. The longer range phase would rebuild the high school next to the sta-dium, north toward the cur-rent pool location. A second building, located at the cur-rent high school site, would include the administration offices, Crest, with another portion used for the com-munity groups, doubling as an arts building for the high school. The pool would likely be included in the new high school building.

The one major benefit to this option, Wilcox said, is that the high school would be able to run, pretty much as is, while the new building

is built. “This is

the only option t h a t real ly l o o k s a t m o v -

ing the buses,” said Wilcox. Mack said this option may

be the one that helps the dis-trict solve all problems at the same time.

“One of the cheaper options might be No. 5 because it solves so many problems in one fell swoop,” said Mack.

Option six was much different than the previous options in that it moved the high school to the northern corner of the property.

In the first phase, all cur-rent buildings on the north-ern end of the campus would be demolished to build the new high school. The cur-rent MIHS building would be remodeled to one of several options. The build-ing could be used as a tem-porary site for students as other schools in the district are remodeled, or become a northern middle school, or even possibly another elementary school. In the second phase, the admin-

istration building would move into a wing of the remodeled high school, with the pool and Crest located at the current administra-tion site.

Wilcox said another ben-efit of this project is it could be done in one stage.

“If this is the direction you decide to go in, then we can study all sorts of options for the high school site,” said Wilcox.

Due to the way option six is designed, if the dis-trict used the current high school building as a tempo-rary school while rebuild-ing, Wilcox said the 30- to 50-year plan for the area would be to demolish the MIHS building and use the space for baseball, soccer fields and the pool.

One thing the board did agree on fairly quickly, based on the options, was that unless there was a strong requirement to move the stadium, leaving it in its cur-rent location made sense.

“We recommend either leaving it where it is, or moving it to the corner,” said Wilcox, as those seemed to be the only two places which made sense on the property. “All [options] will have ripple effects on the other spaces.”

The board plans to hold several community meet-ings to share the various options and get feedback from the community.

“I think we just don’t know what people are going to say until they see it,” said board member Janet Frohnmayer.

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com Wednesday, July 4, 2012 |

She stayed in her car after it came to rest straddling the now open utility box and its electrical equipment. If she had not, she could have been seriously hurt or killed by the electrical cur-rent.

The impact of the car to the utility vault, called a “switching can” by Puget Sound Energy, pushed the metal housing that con-tained electrical equipment that was energized.

The collision and its aftermath brought down power to more than 4,000 customers. Including the Town Center, outages were reported as far south as the neighborhood around Mercer Island High School.

For some, the outage last-ed more than two hours.

According to Mercer Island Fire Chief Chris Tubbs and fire department reports, there were six fire apparatus on the scene. All seven Island firefighters on duty responded, as well as four from Bellevue who arrived with an aid car and a ladder truck.

The first Island firefight-ers from the North end fire station responded in 2.5 minutes. Personnel from

the South end followed with Bellevue units within another few minutes.

Puget Sound Energy crews responded to the scene, arriving 34 minutes after the call.

According to fire depart-ment reports, the driver of the Camry that hit the vault had to remain in her car for approximately 45 minutes until the power was secure.

Besides the driver in the car straddling the vault, firefighters were very con-cerned about the safety of the three dozen or so onlookers near the intersec-tion, Tubbs explained.

The damage to the utility equipment meant that there was the likelihood that the ground was energized — meaning that anyone near the scene could have received a shock or have been electrocuted.

“We always approach a situation like this with the assumption that the ground is energized,” he said.

“Our first thought when we respond to any scene is to ‘prevent further harm,’” he added. “And in this case, we had the people who had come to look to worry about.

“We are thinking, ‘How do we keep them safe?’” Tubbs said.

The firefighters imme-

diately established a “hot zone” of 75 feet in every direction around the scene.

No one was seriously injured during the inci-dent. The two drivers were bumped and bruised, but refused treatment and went home.

Puget Sound Energy crews remained at the scene to repair the dam-age, replacing the housing for the vaults early in the evening.

City Manager Rich Conrad is unhappy with Puget Sound Energy and The Mercer’s developer and owner, James Cassan. Neither party has yet dealt with the issue of having the above-ground utility boxes at the busy corner.

Large power and switch-ing units, such as the ones at the Town Center inter-section, are usually placed underground.

The two units are owned by PSE and are on a per-manent easement grant-ed to them by Dollar Development, which owns the land.

According to Conrad, the utility vaults have been on the property long before The Mercer was construct-ed in 2006, and are “origi-nal” to the site.

Soon after the incident, Conrad sent a message to

PSE that said in part: “As you know, the city has

sought the removal of these boxes since ‘The Mercer’ was built. We [the city] have offered financial incentives to PSE and the property owner [James Cassan] to

have them undergrounded or moved into his build-ing. Mr. Cassan has been unwilling to take respon-sibility. PSE has been luke-warm. Because the boxes are on private property, ulti-mately the decision to move

them lies with PSE and the owner.”

Andrew and Veronika Baklinski moved to Mercer Island from Ottawa, Canada’s capital, just a couple of months ago. It didn’t take long for them to get into business with the Mercer Island Music store.

“We saw the yard art out in front, so we thought, ‘Oh, that’s really convenient,’ just down the street,” Veronika Baklinski said, holding her 8-year-old daughter, Helena. “We came in and found out the kids could take lessons right here on our own street. So we signed up three of them.”

Soon after the Baklinskis began working with the busi-ness, they heard it would be closing through neighbors’ word-of-mouth. As both Andrew and Veronika have strong musical backgrounds and children with an inter-est, Dan Sotelo, an employee of the shop, suggested them as new candidates. They accepted.

“A lot of people were call-ing, saying, ‘Please don’t close! We love you guys!’” Andrew Baklinski said. “And I said, ‘We are staying open!’”

The family has gotten to know the previous own-ers well, especially since Veronika took piano lessons with Connie Wible, one of the previous owners, as she was growing up on the Island. Andrew grew up in Canada in a strongly musi-cal home, and he has played several different instruments and sung. They bring a pas-sion for musical culture to

MI Music.“We [previously] lived in

a very small rural area, so there wasn’t a great avail-ability of instrumental music lessons,” Andrew Baklinski said. “I had dreams of the kids playing violin or cello or what not, so we saw the music store here and came and introduced ourselves.”

The shop is continuing with the same services it pre-viously offered — instrument rentals and repairs, and pri-vate lessons. Instructors for all string, woodwind, brass and percussion, in addition to piano, harp and guitar, come to the store. There cur-rently isn’t one for voice, but they would welcome one if there was interest.

“Our current background coming from Canada is voice, so that’s definitely a passion of ours,” Veronika Baklinski said.

That background comes from their teaching in the Sacred Music Society, a pro-gram in Canada that facili-tates choral music teaching in grade schools. It reaches out to about 10,000 students.

“Especially with our work back in Canada, we have

some pretty good tools to bring,” Andrew Baklinski said.

Along with the positive and friendly environment that the store already pro-vides, the Baklinskis hope to expand its horizons, look-ing to collaborate more with the school music programs and connect with retirement communities.

Their desire to share music with the community made the job of taking over the store an easy one for the Baklinskis.

“Music is one of those beautiful gifts that you nor-mally think of as something for grade school and high school students,” Andrew Baklinski said, “but anyone at any age can come and learn a new instrument. It’s a tremendous source of delight and inspiration.”

The Mercer Island Kiwanis annual fireworks stand has been a Fourth of July fixture on the Island for almost as long as any-one can remember.

The 2012 edition opened for business on Thursday, June 28, and will close July 4 at 9 p.m.

The stand, in one form or another, has been a part of the run up to the Fourth of July for the past 40 years, run each summer by the Kiwanis. Jim Baker, a longtime member of the club, said at one point they operated two stands this time of year — one on

the South end, another at the North end. The money raised goes to various Island organizations.

“We have a much better selection this year,” said Baker. “We have some absolutely beautiful fire-works. They did a preview for us and it was amazing. Everything here is safe and sane.”

On Tuesday, June 16, a crew of seven volunteers showed up to set up the stand, and on Wednesday another group of nine people — largely Kiwanis members and other vol-unteers — stocked the shelves with hundreds of fireworks.

“On the fifth, we’ll come back and take it all down and load it back into the trailer,” said Baker. “We clean it up, and the street, every night before we shut

down.”The Kiwanis, which

got help this year from a chapter in Kirkland and the Mercer Island Masonic Temple, hopes to bring in several thousand dollars.

“We hope to bring in $6,000 to $8,000 in fire-works,” said Baker. “It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year.”

Money from the fire-works sales goes to a variety of places, such as the Boys & Girls Club, Mercer Island Preschool Association’s annual cir-cus, Mercer Island Special Olympics, Shakespeare in the Park, the Mercer Island Parks & Recreation Fun Mobile, scholarships for high school students, and more.

Fireworks at the stand are sold only to those over 16 years of age.

For the first six months, tolling on the 520 bridge is working as planned, state officials say. Weekday traffic is free flowing for the first time in decades during the peak commute times, and revenue gener-ated by tolling is ahead of forecasts.

This trajectory puts the state slightly ahead of the finance plan, keep-ing the Washington State Department of Transportation on track with making the debt payments needed to pay for the bridge construction.

Despite fore-casts trending ahead in both traffic and revenue, rate increases will go into effect on July 1 in order for the state to stay on track with the finance plan to raise $1 billion for a new SR-520 bridge. The increase in July will be the first of four planned 2.5 percent annual rate increases through 2015.

However, no rate increase will occur with-out the Washington State Transportation Commission reviewing the latest traffic and rev-enue data to determine if a rate increase is needed each year and at what amount, state officials say.

The current peak Good To Go! rate of $3.50 will increase to $3.59, and the peak Pay By Mail rate of $5 will increase to $5.13. The other variable toll

rates will have similar increases.

“We are headed in the right direction, and it’s looking like our care-ful planning is already producing positive out-comes,” said WSDOT Toll Director Craig Stone. “That said, this is the six-month mark of a 30-year plan. It’s more important now than ever before that we stay the course.”

So far, more than 80 percent of vehicles cross-ing the bridge have Good To Go! accounts. The variable tolls are leading drivers to shift their trips to off-peak hours, saving peak-time drivers 12 to 15 minutes per trip. There has been a drop in bridge traffic volumes since toll-ing began, but the drop has not been as great as forecasted. During the first

q u a r -ter of b r i d g e tol ling, w e e k -d a y t r a f f i c was 15 percent h i g h e r t h a n p r o -j e c t e d . A p r i l was 19 percent h igher,

and May numbers indi-cate that traffic is now 21 percent higher than pro-jected.

First quarter of the year gross tolling revenue (between January and March) was $12.9 million, exceeding forecasts by six percent. Officials say the trend is continuing into the second quarter with official financial state-ments to be released this summer.

King County Metro Transit implemented service improvements on the SR-520 corridor to increase options for travelers. This includes more bus service, real-time transit signs, and a

new park-and-ride garage that will open in south Kirkland next spring.

“Metro Transit has seen two waves of strong rid-ership growth so far on the SR-520 corridor,” said Metro General Manager Kevin Desmond. “The first came in the fall of 2011 when we signifi-cantly increased transit service; then again this year when tolling began. Overall, we’ve seen a 25 percent increase in bus ridership across the lake in less than a year.”

Just before the start of tolling on Dec. 29, 2011, King County Metro and Sound Transit added 100 daily bus trips across the floating bridge, bringing the weekday service to 700 bus trips and 18 routes. Since tolling began, tran-sit ridership has increased 10 percent. Vanpools on the SR-520 corridor have increased by 18 percent. Sound Transit’s service has also grown to serve the increased demand.

“The new riders who are climbing aboard our Express buses serving the SR-520 corridor have contributed to Sound Transit’s overall 12 per-cent ridership growth from first quarter 2011 to first quarter of this year,” said Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl. “More and more commuters are recogniz-ing the value of using transit to save money and improve their quality of life.”

Economic growth and new development were at the center of discussion for five Eastside mayors on Wednesday as they took questions at the Bellevue Downtown Association’s annual forum.

Asked what Mercer Island would look like in 20 years, Mayor Bruce Bassett held a much more conservative tone than counterparts in fast-growing cities, saying the city would look much the same as it does today.

“We’re trying to have eco-nomic development and move forward, but we’re try-ing to do it in ways that lower impact,” Bassett said.

Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee envisioned that down-town alone would add 38,000 jobs and 9,000 new residents.

Just as Bellevue planned its growth downtown many years ago, Issaquah is going

through a similar process with its Central Issaquah Plan, said Mayor Ava Frisinger.

She spoke about how increasing density, instead of suburban sprawl, is better for the environment. Issaquah expects to add 8,000-9,000 new housing units, many multiple fam-ily, and about 7-10 million square feet of commercial development in the next 20 years.

Kirkland, Redmond and Mercer Island all foresaw the impacts that light rail will have on their communities in the next 20 years.

Redmond Mayor John Marchione spoke in depth about building up the city’s spring district and adding more residential housing closer to downtown.

“You’ll have more choices

of where you want to live,” he said.

While Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride foresaw pop-ulation growth in the next 20 years, she focused on the city’s new “world class” indoor recreation center and

commitment to parks.

One of the goals of the mod-erator, James W h i t f i e l d , was to focus on how the cities can col-

laborate on issues.Including a comment from

Marchione about working through issues on the Bel-Red Road, the mayors felt they had done well at col-laborating.

“It’s unusual where we don’t work well together,” McBride said.

Economic development is regional, not just civic, he said.

By Brita [email protected]

Mercer Island resident Gabriela Selden went to Seattle Children’s Hospital on May 5 to visit her niece. It was an utter coincidence that a camera crew showed up right then.

“After I had been there with Lauren for about an hour, the crew and the direc-tor came by and asked, ‘Oh, do you want to be in this cool video?’” Selden said. “And we went to see how they were filming.”

Lauren Selden, 11, was unsure at first, but they told her she didn’t have to sing along with the music, Kelly Clarkson’s hit “Stronger.” She just had to hold a card and smile, while her aunt helped her stand. Not surprising to Gabriela and her husband, Peter Selden, Lauren picked

the card that said “Fighter.” Lauren has bone cancer

that has affected her abil-ity to walk. Her family lives in Hawaii, but the treat-ment options there were much more limited than at Children’s.

“Fortunately, the tumor hadn’t metastasized, so she had a much better chance of surviving,” Peter Selden said. “Now she is cancer-free.”

Lauren’s fighting spirit in the face of her illness is inspired by her days of com-peting in roller derby. While she most likely will not be able to compete in it any-more, she has retained the determination that the sport gave her.

“After all these treatments, she wanted to keep fighting for her life,” Gabriela Selden said. “She’s a very sweet girl, very kind. She’s not mad

because of her illness. She keeps going with the flow.”

Now the photo of Lauren and Gabriela Selden, taken during the filming, has appeared in several major news media outlets. The video went viral very quickly after it was posted May 6 on YouTube and was shown at Mercer Island High School during that week.

“Some girls at my church told me, ‘I saw you in the video!’” Gabriela Selden said. She also noted that par-ents at her children’s school have commented about it to her.

The video can evoke very strong emotions in those who watch it.

“At the beginning [of it], you’re kind of curious, and by the time it gets to the chorus, you start to feel happy,” Peter Selden said. “Towards the end, you start

to reflect a lot on what it really is, and it makes you cry, when you see the kids dancing while hooked up to the machines.”

Being part of the video and Lauren’s experience with cancer as a whole has given the Seldens the opportunity to reflect and give back.

“You realize how short life is,” Gabriela Selden said. “These kids who have cancer — we don’t know if they’re going to make it. They are happy. That is my idea of

the video — to show that life is pretty wherever you see it.”

They strongly encour-

age people to volunteer with hospitals or places like Ronald McDonald House, where Lauren has stayed during parts of her time of treatment. They also advo-cate for giving blood, which Gabriela does every six weeks.

“When you donate blood, you don’t necessarily see the connection on the other side,” Peter Selden said, “but when you have someone like Lauren, who was so sick, she’s getting transfu-sions all the time. It requires so much blood to do that.”

The video can be found at youtu.be/ihGCj5mfCk8.

By Reporter StaffNow that summer has

officially started around the Puget Sound, the chance to get outside to enjoy local art, fireworks or a movie is at hand. Here’s a look at some local events on Mercer Island and in Bellevue this July.

Fourth of JulyFor those who do not

want to set off their own fireworks on July 4, but would still like to see them and participate in other

festivities, the Bellevue Downtown Association is presenting its 21st annual Symetra Bellevue Family Fourth.

The festivities will take place in Bellevue’s Downtown Park, located at 10201 N.E. 4th Street.

The event officially begins at 2 p.m. and con-tinues until 10:30 p.m., with performances by local bands and entertainment groups. Pre-fireworks music begins at 9:30 p.m. with the Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra, under the direc-tion of Dr. Teresa Metzger-Howe, and the fireworks begin at 10:05 p.m.

Free parking will be available at the Bellevue Collection. For more infor-

mation, visit www.belle-vuedowntown.org/events/familyfourth.

Movies in the parkBoth Mercer Island and

Bellevue screen movies outside during the summer months. Mercer Island sets up a giant inflatable screen in Mercerdale Park for any-one interested in watching family favorite films.

This year, “ET: The Extra Terrestrial,” will be the first movie, shown on Saturday, July 28. “How to Train Your Dragon” will be shown on Saturday, Aug. 25. Staff is on site with special activi-ties based on the movie starting at 7:30 p.m., and movies start at approxi-mately 8:30 p.m.

In Bellevue, movies are shown at Bellevue’s Downtown Park. This year the first movie will be “Puss in Boots” on July 10. Movies begin at dusk,

around 9 p.m. If the weath-er includes rain, movies will be held at the South Bellevue Community cen-ter, located at 14509 S.E. Newport Way.

Each week a different char-ity is high-lighted and moviegoers are asked to bring a donation for that char-ity. The char-ity on July 10 is Sophia Way, and the sug-gested dona-tion items are grocery gift cards, movie tickets and other personal hygiene products. Prior to the movie, Pagliacci Pizza will have a dough tossing demonstration and contest.

On July 17 the movie will be “Happy Feet 2” with donations of pain brushes, paint and other arts sup-

plies going to the Highland Community Center. Zumba Fitness will do a demon-stration prior to the movie.

“Zookeeper” is the fea-ture film on July 24 with Ashoka the b e n e f i t -ing charity that night. Moviegoers are asked to bring books and office supplies.
