Big ideas for a Town Center of the future

By Celina [email protected]

Natalie Angelillo was cleaning out her daughter’s room, when she came across an old dollhouse. She knew the once cherished toy would only collect dust in her basement, but didn’t know how to go about selling it.

“It was literally a light bulb moment,” said Angelillo an Island mom and founder of the online marketplace, SwopBoard. “I thought, some mom would love to have this and that mom is a parent at my daughter’s school. But I have no way of letting her know.”

She let the idea percolate for a while, until one day her son came

Diane Larson of Mercer Island Florist says business has seen an uptick in the last year. Larson attributes that mostly to her loyal customer base: “We had the best year, we’ve ever had. Business is excellent and I’m very grateful to the community for that.”

Mercer Island Florist is one of two tenants a little enclave across from the Islandia Shopping Center, which in the last few weeks has seen vacancy signs by Wallace Properties.

It’s all part of a changing Town Center and visioning efforts the city last Wednesday, May 21, dis-cussed with local business owners residents and councilmembers at a lunch meeting.

Among those changes is the closure of Club Emerald in October. Co-owners Bryan Welch and Ginny Pietila, who have been

a part of the community since 1993, have plans to split up the gym business.

“I think businesses come and go for a multitude of reasons—it could be personal, it could be the volume of business. But it’s greater than just what it seems,” says Larson. “[You always hear] businesses are leaving Mercer Island or everyone is coming. But there are many reasons Islanders come and go. We sit down in our little spot by the bookstore and do the best we can.”

Planning for a revival of the Town Center has been a goal of the City Council and staff for the year ahead. The city out-lined the issue at a planning ses-sion at the beginning of the year.

City invites business owners, residents to share visions for downtown

home to tell her he needed boots urgently. Ski bus was two days out.

“I started to think about hyper local community opportunities. A long time ago, we had space for a bul-letin board at school, or we’d pass each other at the gro-cery store, sit down to have coffee and participate in school fundraisers togeth-er,” she said. “I thought wouldn’t it be nice if in the process of reengaging the local community, if we fig-ured out a way to give back and solve two problems at once.”

Angelillo launched SwopBoard marketplace to meet her own immediate need and to raise money for local schools. SwopBoard looks much like a Pinterest newsfeed, but operates like Craigslist without the ano-nymity. Visitors can buy and sell lightly used items to their choice of audi-ence. They can choose to sell to people only in their immediate community, regionally, even nationally. At least ten percent of sales go toward a school of their choosing, with the option to donate a greater por-tion. And Angelillo points out that it aligns with buy local and green movements because it means users don’t have to purchase entirely new products in six-month cycles.

“It feels good,” said Angelillo. “You can get to know people and there’s a

real connection.”She remembers selling,

for instance, several items of clothing her daughter had outgrown. At her son’s baseball game one after-noon, she spotted a little girl wearing her daughter’s dress. On another occasion, she recognized a young girl riding her daughter’s bike.

“The nice thing about the site is that there’s some sense of familiarity with the people in your immediate community.”

Angelillo says that people are donating an average of 46 percent, far exceeding the minimum rate of 10 percent.

Scrolling through SwopBoard reveals old iPhones, bunk bed, bikes, sets of books, even the occa-

sional ticket up for grabs. It’s also partnered with several boutiques – like the Seattle-based fashion line, Silvae – so users can buy specialized items for a good cause.

Though every school is eligible, 11 Mercer Island schools are now active recipients of SwopBoard donations. Nationally, upwards of 1,000 schools have benefited in 44 differ-ent states, and many more are planned for the coming year.

Angelillo would not share the amount of funds raised to date but says she has ambitious plans for the future. In the coming weeks, SwopBoard will launch an app for smartphones and tablets. She also hopes to start an initiative that will allow users to choose what their money goes toward at the school of their choos-ing – new textbooks for the classroom, arts supplies or sports equipment.

“I think we’ve proved it works. Parents love it. We’re seeing that it’s making a quantifiable difference in schools. We want to [raise] several million for schools over the next three years on a platform that allows people to give back in a way that also helps them.”

Contributed Photo / Jonathan VanderweitNatalie Angelillo poses with her three daughters in a messy office. Angelillo founded SwopBoard, an online marketplace for used items that donates a portion of revenue to a school of the user’s choosing.

One of the ideas put forth by Representative Tana Senn was a boost-er committee to address small improvements while the city shaped its long-term vision.

The early stages of that process started last week, as community mem-bers assembled to share their voices. They were only high-level talks, but the hope is that last week’s discussions will be brought before Council at a planning session Jun. 14, as a sort of “menu” of options the city can choose from.

“The idea is to synthe-size some of these ideas...to make the vision for Town Center reflect cur-rent values and desires,” said Councilmember Benson Wong, who lives himself in Town Center after a fire severely dam-aged his South-end home in April.

The city has invest-ed over $5 million in streetscape improvements like additional trees, ornamental pavement and more pedestrian-friendly crosswalks. The

ideas that surfaced dur-ing Wednesday’s meet-ing ranged from a walk-ing trail to wayfinding signs and the reoccurring topic of more parking. Loftier ideas were also entertained like chang-ing city code, attracting certain businesses or hir-ing a part-time economic development manager.

“Nothing is set in stone,” said Wong. “One duty of this exer-cise is that we’re a s k i n g p e o p l e to dream up what t h e y ’ d like to see down there.”

U n d e r t h e Growth Management Act (GMA), Mercer Island will need to provide 2,000 more housing units by 2031. Current zoning would allow for the added berth, said senior planner Shana Crick and land is ripe for development.

There are now about

1,000 residents in the Town Center, a number that could classify the growing downtown cor-ridor as a neighborhood. Wong said that his recent move has forced him to think about the changing social fabric.

“Is it a neighborhood? It very well could be,” he said. “I think we need to be cognizant of the fact that these are not just businesses, but there are a lot of residents and kids living there. [That means]

safety and t r a f f i c . . . i s s o m e t h i n g the city might have to take a look at.”

R e c e n t Town Center projects have added 960 new hous-ing units, 1 2 4 , 0 0 0

square feet of retail, res-taurant and commercial space and 2,250 new park-ing spaces. Still awaiting completion is the Legacy mixed-use project, a five-story building that will, when it opens in sum-mer of 2016, include 209 apartments and 10,000

sq. ft. of commercial space, a public plaza and parking. East Link, scheduled to begin con-struction as soon as this year, will bring its own growth.

Demolition has begun at two adjoining properties at 2960 and 2970 76th Avenue N.E. The two properties will be developed into 16 townhomes on the slope behind Farmers Insurance. The two lots together sold for $2.3 mil-lion last year.

The 2970 lot was owned by Renwick Haugland who, with his first wife, bought land at 2970 76th Ave. S.E. in 1957 for $3,500. There was a 12 by 12 ft. cabin on the land.

Haugland was an art-ist whose art extended from ink and paint to hammer and nails. Over the next 40-some years Haugland lived on the property, the home morphed into a 2,500-plus square foot structure in a series of additions that stair-stepped down the slope of the hillside. A story in the Mercer Island Reporter, in 1980 described the home as a “patchwork quilt” built with scrounged materials — an archi-tects’ nightmare.”

Haugland was a Boeing illus-trator who later became an art teacher in Island schools between 1961 and 1974. He quit teaching to attended graduate school in fine arts. After graduate school he opened a portrait studio on Pier

70 in Seattle. The artist was one of the organizers of the present day Mercer Island Visual Arts League.

Larry Sarchin, a long time resi-dent, who lives just half a block from the old house, remembers Haugland who was his art teacher at the old North Mercer Junior High School. Constant building and creating was the hallmark of the artist's life, Sarchin said.

Last week, Sarchin saw the heavy equipment parked at the Haugland’s home, now long aban-doned, and called the Reporter. He took a look inside (there is

no front door on the structure) and saw sev-eral pieces of art that had been left behind. He brought them out and is storing them for safekeeping. He hopes

that MIVAL will take them or have a special showing at some point.

At North Mercer, Sarchin remembers Haugland as having an accent. The adolescents of course, made fun of the teacher. But if Haugland knew, he did not seem to mind, Sarchin said. “He was pretty laid back, he didn't worry about what we said. ‘He got us,’” he remembered. “He was a good teacher.”

The 1980 Reporter story described the home as a “fairytale playground” for Haugland’s chil-dren and their friends. At vari-

ous times the lot included a tree house, a trampoline, an outdoor fish pond, a hutch for bunnies, and even a so-called skyride.

Last week, it was easy to see those descriptions come to life in the old house. Random rooms were tacked on to the existing structure joined with narrow staircases and passageways. There were equally narrow decks on the side of the additions with rickety handrails. There were balconies inside the house with storage here and there under the eaves. The remnants of the pond, the bunny hutch and the skyride remain on the slope.

Haugland even admitted that it was an unusual place — not a place anyone would design on purpose.

“I tend to think of it growing like a city grows — kind of hap-hazardly,” he told the Reporter so many years ago.

Haugland also said that he liked the privacy of the lot his home and its location offered. It was sort

of like a mountain cabin, he said. He cherished the dense woods. And that feeling was threatened when several trees that bordered his property were taken down when the old bowling alley was demolished to make way for the new Farmers Insurance building.

Even in 1980, Haugland saw the future. He said then that he considered it inevitable that even-tually the rest of his neighborhood would be rezoned for condos. “Eventually I suppose I will sell out,” he said. “It will undoubtedly

be torn down.”Plans for the property depict a

triangular configuration of town-homes built into the slope. The three-story homes, designed by Seattle firm Milbrandt Architects, would range in size from 1,900 to 2,400 square feet and would oper-ate as “fee simple” town homes, meaning homeowners would have complete ownership of the home and the land underneath their unit.

Mercer Island High School musicians to visit Australia in 2015

The Mercer Island High School Band Program’s Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Wind Symphony and Percussion Ensemble will be traveling to Australia to participate in a number of performances includ-ing the Australian National Band Championships, held in Sydney in April, 2015.

While in Australia their tour will include a clinic with the internationally renowned conductor of the Sydney Conservatory, John Lynch, and per-formances in Darling Harbour, Newcastle, and at a Newcastle Jets profession-al football game. The group will also participate in exchanges with Australian students including home stays with the ‘Marching Koalas,’ a national youth honor marching band.

Each student’s family is responsible for the cost of their student’s trip, estimat-ed to be $4,000 each.

Throughout the next year, band members will be doing a variety of things to earn money towards the cost of their trip.

The first fundraising opportunity is a big, multi-family garage sale that will be held between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Saturday, June 7, at Islander Middle School. Over sixty fami-lies will band together to sell treasures. There will be furniture, appliances, cookware, sporting goods,

clothing, books, toys and much more.

This will be an oppor-tunity to support the band and find great items at affordable prices, organiz-ers said.

Is solar energy right for your home

The City of Mercer Island is launching a solar instal-lation campaign this sum-mer. The goal is for 30 to 60 homes to install solar power to help power their homes.

According to the city, with tax credits and incen-tives from the state, studies have shown that these roof-top systems pay back in just six to nine years. After that you’re making free solar power for another 20 to 30 years, organizers said.

By participating in the program, homeowners will get about 15 percent off regular installation costs, and it’ll all be done and operating within months.

If you attend a 90-minute info workshop, you can get a free site visit to assess your location.

There are even options if your roof is too shaded. To pre-register for the June 3 workshop, visit: www.solarizewa.org/registration. Workshops start June 3.

Donate to MIYFS and win a Leaf

The City of Mercer Island is offering a free two-year lease on a new Nissan Leaf to the winner of a raffle

Ted Rand’s art at Governor’s Mansion

The Governor’s Mansion Foundation has announced that an exhibit of works by the late Mercer Island artist Ten Rand, will be hung in the Mansion Gallery for the coming year.

The Mansion’s art cura-tor, Beverly Graham said, “Mr. Rand was an enor-mous talent who left behind thousands of works of art covering the broadest of subject matter and styles. It is with great pride that we are able to exhibit some of his works.”

Rand was born Dec. 27, 1915, at home on Mercer Island during one of the worst snowstorms on record for the Seattle area. His father, Willis Rand, was the superintendent of the Boys Parental School, later named Luther Burbank School, the remains of which still stand in Luther Burbank Park. Rand worked as a graphic artist and illustrator for Frederick and Nelson and The Bon Marche and later went on to teach illustration at the University of Washington.

Rand, who died in 2005, illustrated 79 books, many for his wife, author Gloria Rand, including the pop-ular “Salty Dog” series of children’s books. The Mercer Island Library also has examples of Rand’s art.

Reporter Sta�Electronic cigarettes

(known as e-cigarettes) are battery operated devices that deliver nico-tine - the addictive sub-stance in tobacco. These products are not regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

King County prohib-its the use of electronic smoking devices (e-ciga-rettes, vape pens, etc.) in public places and places of employment. It’s also illegal to sell e-cigarettes to minors under the age of 18.

In 2010, the King County Board of Health passed a regulation restricting the sale and use of electronic smok-ing devices. This county-wide regulation went into effect in January 2011 “primarily to protect the public's health by prevent-ing youth from nicotine addiction and preserv-ing our public spaces as smoke-free,” the agency said.

King County Board of Health Code 19.12 includes the following provisions.

• Prohibits selling elec-tronic smoking devices or liquid nicotine to minors under age 18.

• Prohibits sampling, offering free or nominal cost electronic smoking devices or liquid nicotine.

• Prohibits use of elec-tronic smoking devices in public places; places

of employment (same as smoking laws).

So just what are elec-tronic smoking devices and e-juices?

Electronic smoking devices operate by vapor-izing a solution containing nicotine, flavors and other chemicals that is inhaled by the user. Many of these products allow the user to refill the spent cartridge with liquid nicotine.

Liquid nicotine is toxic if swallowed or spilled on the skin, and the risk of poisonings is a grow-ing concern nationally – especially for young children. According to county health officials, the number of calls to the Washington Poison Center quadrupled from 2012 to 2013.

Late last month, the FDA issued a proposed rule that would extend the agency’s tobacco authority to cover additional prod-ucts that meet the legal definition of a tobacco product, such as e-ciga-rettes. Only e-cigarettes that are marketed for therapeutic purposes are currently regulated by the FDA. The FDA also regu-lates cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco.

FDA’s Extending Authorities to Additional Tobacco Products web-page offers more informa-tion on the proposed rule, including how to submit comments. Comments need to be submitted by July 9.

To the editorViews on library remodel are one-sided

I was interested and more than a little disappointed by your front page story on the plans to reno-vate the library. It appears that the only individual interviewed in the story was Meg Lippert, a mem-ber of the Concerned Citizens Committee, a committee made up primarily of older residents. This group has been quite vocal in its opposi-tion to the modern-ization of the library, stating that “we love our library” just as it is, but they represent the views of only one segment of our com-munity. As mentioned briefly in the article, there is also a City Council Library Committee. The City Council Library Committee was created specifically to repre-sent a WIDE VARIETY of citi-zen groups —people represent-ing preschoolers, teens, people in their 30s and 40’, and older citizens. No one from that group was contacted for the article. (I am a member of the City Council Library Committee but the views represented here are mine and may, or may not, be shared by others on the committee).

The problem, of course, is that different people have different ideas about the role of a library. As mentioned in the article, the Concerned Citizens Committee believes the remodel “would leave little room for the library’s primary function — quiet reading.” (quote from Mercer Island Reporter’s article ). In talking with library

patrons UNDER 50 I find they see a different primary function — namely a place to get information and study, often on computers and personal devices, and in study groups of four or more people. Hence they want more comput-ers, more electrical outlets for their personal devices and more meeting spaces. This renovation is intended to serve our island for the next few decades, and hence

is largely going to serve that younger population. Their voice and requests for the new library, need to take precedence over the views of citizens who don’t seem to want to

modernize it.There is no way that any plan

will meet the expectations of every person on this island. The result will be some compromise. KCLS has listened to the opinions of both groups and has made many changes from their original design to accommodate some of our concerns. I think it is time to thank KCLS for the changes they have agreed to and accept that it is impossible to have every-thing demanded by any of us. Continuing to protest and delay a decision will only cost taxpayers more money and will never satisfy everyone.

Tweaks for the Farmers Market

I am a big supporter, believing

the Farmers Market is an important Island asset. I would like to see a few improvements though.

1. A much longer sea-son, All this beautiful weather and no market is a sad situation.

2. Do not close it for the Summer celebration. Personally, I would rath-er see the Island Summer Celebration close than the Farmers Market. The solution is to incorporate the FM into the celebra-tion and actually have good food available for the celebration.

3. Bring in raw milk. Raw milk is legal in WA state, yet unavailable at our “super” markets. It would be nice to be able to buy it on the Island as in the past. Maybe the Mercer Island historical society should sell it...

There is my rant, very glad to have a market, let’s make it better!

Dale Cox

Thank you MI Community fund

On behalf of the MI Farmers Market, the Mercer Island Preschool Association, and the Mercer Island Food Revolution, we would like to thank you for funding our joint family nutri-tion education program, “Healthy Families All Year Round,” which will be implemented at the Farmers Market this season.

Together, we will help patrons navigate the Market by sampling simple, quick, and healthy meals

and snacks and by distributing recipes and weekly menu ideas, using ingredients sold by the mar-ket vendors.

Here’s to the health of Island children and adults!

We would like to express our deepest appreciation to the Mercer Island Community Fund for enabling us to implement this program.

cle from mid-Island to the busi-ness district to run a few errands. Without exaggeration, it seemed pervasive chemical odors wafted through the air every seven to eight houses-the unmistakable scent of tree spray, insect treat-ments and lawn applications. It

was a bit shocking actually. The air was not fresh.

Those chemicals are toxins. They wash into the lake, settle on lawns where children and pets play and spread all over the beau-tiful gardens where birds, bees and other crucial insects dwell.

Please, won’t you consider going chemical free for the sake of our loved ones and beloved environs?

Mercer Island resident Alan Woog had some unfin-ished business.

Five years ago Woog shared the Northwest Senior United States Tennis Association senior indoor doubles championship in the 85-and-over division. Word of his athletic prowess apparently spread across the tennis circuit because there were no entries in his cat-egory the next year when he went back to defend his title.

“So there was only one thing I could do,” Woog said

with a sly grin. “I began my preparations to compete in the 90-year-old national competition.”

Earlier this month, Woog and his partner, Yutaka Kobayashi from Wellesley, Massachusetts, beat the defending USTA 90-and-over champions in the national finals held in Vancouver, WA.

His newest trophy inspired Woog to discuss the dramatic tennis match as well as open up about a special relationship he has kept private since graduate school more than 60 years ago.

The defending champi-ons in the 90-and-over divi-sion won the first set of the final match 7-5, but Woog and Kobayashi bounced back with a 6-4 victory in the second set to set up the dramatic conclusion. The challengers jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the 10-point tiebreaker, but the champs came back to tie the score at 6-all.

With the score knotted at 7-7, Woog and Kobayashi scored the three consecutive points to walk away with the title.

“I could be on my death-bed and I would still be

able to remember those last three points,” said Woog. “The winning point came on a return of service that I hit down the line to my opponent’s backhand. His return went out of bounds and I literally jumped into the air with joy.”

Victory on the court inspired Woog to discuss one very private story he has kept to himself since leav-ing the campus of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, OH in 1950. It was during his two years in graduate school that Woog struck up an intense relationship with a young black woman he met from Selma, Alabama.

According to Woog, he could walk hand-in-hand with his friend Corrie Scott across campus, but the cou-ple quickly learned the need to be discreet whenever they went into town. He remem-bered numerous occasions when they were refused ser-vice at restaurants and other not-so-subtle forms of dis-crimination.

“There were times that I wanted to say something to the owner. But Corrie would squeeze my hand to remind me that the owner of the restaurant might be the brother of the sheriff in town. And there might be a group of people waiting for us outside in the parking lot,” Woog remembered.

“She said it was always better to hold my tongue so we could live to fight another day.”

When it came time to graduate from Antioch College and go into the real world, Corrie sat her boy-friend down to discuss the subject of marriage. She was confident that America in 1950 was ready to accept intermarriage.

This time it was Woog who was realistic.

“There was no doubt in our minds that we were in love. We each wanted to change the world in our own way.”

Woog accepted a position with the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and to lead senators and politicians on fact-finding missions through the rug-ged backcountry of the Evergreen State. Corrie moved East to continue her

music education in Boston.Ironically, it was Woog

who got married first. He found a nice Jewish bride in Washington and was mar-ried in 1951. He and his wife raised two children in the Seattle area.

Corrie Scott continued her battle against discrimi-nation. In 1953, she married a man who shared her con-victions. That man was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Zen ShibayamaLong time Mercer Island resident

Zen (Zenji) Shibayama was born to Kamekichi and Kimiye Shibayama on July 5, 1924 in Seattle, Washington. He attended local schools in Bainbridge Island, Seattle and Moses Lake, WA. He was drafted near the end of the war, but served with Military intelligence in the war’s aftermath in Tokyo and in Manila, the Philippines. For his service, Zen

received a Congressional Gold Medal which was awarded by the U.S. Congress Nov. 2, 2011. After the war, the family returned to Bainbridge Island. Zen returned to school and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business at the University of Washington on a GI Bill. When he graduated, he used his business skills to continue his father’s business in rental real estate.

Zen’s interests included �shing, golf, and photography. He was Leicaphile, a PSA member for many years, and participated in photo exhibits such as the Puyallup fair. He enjoyed Asian art, and collected Netsuke, Tsubas and Japanese wood block prints. In his later years, family gatherings and Sunday dinners at his son Brian’s place were a special comfort.

Towards the end of his life, Zen came down with dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease. He was grateful for the care he received from many organizations, including the local Senior Social group run by Leslie and Susie at the Mercer Island Community Center. He �nally succumbed to a pneumonia/sepsis at Virginia Mason. However, even these illnesses failed to even make a dent in his cheerful personality and famous smile, which he maintained right up to his very last day. He passed away on March 11, 2014 surrounded by family and friends.

He is survived by his wife, Eiko (61 happy years of marriage), sons Dean, Brian (Cathy) and Karl (Maria), and siblings, Jimmy (Grace), Masaru (San Francisco) and Kimi Momoda.

Hat tricks from Hill, Bender advance IslandersBy Joseph Livarchik

[email protected]

For Mercer Island boys soccer, getting three goals from its striker hasn’t been uncommon this postsea-son. But hat tricks from two players? That was some-thing new.

That’s exactly what the Islanders got Tuesday, May 20 with Ryan Hill and Sean Bender each scoring three goals as Mercer Island won its first round state tournament game against Mountain View, 6-0 at Islander Stadium. For Hill,

it was his third-straight game with three goals.

“I can’t recall a time that’s happened in high school soccer to my knowledge, it’s very rare,” said coach Colin Rigby. “It’s incredible really to have two guys score three goals in a game, and to have Ryan score nine goals in three games is truly a feat.”

Bender put the Islanders on the board in the game’s fourth minute and Hill struck first in the game’s 16th minute to give Mercer Island a 2-0 halftime lead. Bender and Hill kept it going in the second half,

with Bender’s third goal coming in the 53rd min-ute and Hill’s in the 60th, providing plenty of offense while the Mercer Island defense kept Mountain View’s shots on goal few and far between. Tate Crenshaw and Matthew LeProwse recorded the shutout in goal for the Islanders.

While Rigby praised the confident play of his goal-ies, he credited the shutout to the performance of the Islanders’ defense.

Season ends for Mercer Island lacrosseBy Joseph Livarchik

[email protected]

After opening tourna-ment competition with a convincing win over Seattle Prep, Mercer Island boys lacrosse saw its season come to an end in the quarterfinal round of the state tourna-ment, falling to Eastside Catholic 19-11 Thursday, May 22, at Eastside Catholic High School. For a team that reached the state title game last year, it was an early exit, even against an undefeated Eastside Catholic squad.

“It’s a much earlier exit than we had hoped for, but it was the toughest quarterfi-nal game we’ve had to play,” said coach Ian O’Hearn.

Trailing 2-0 in the game’s opening minutes, Mercer Island managed to take a 4-3 lead by the end of the first period. But in the sec-ond, the Crusaders’ Colin

MacIlvennie scored two quick goals to reclaim the lead, as Eastside Catholic outscored Mercer Island 6-1 in the quarter to begin pulling away.

MacIlvennie led the Crusaders with six goals and an assist. For Mercer Island, Peter Mahony had three goals and two assists while Evan Condon had three goals and an assist and Chase York scored twice.

After the game, Mercer Island’s head coach praised his team, admitting that while some things could’ve gone differently, specifi-cally a three-way tie for its division’s top spot giving Mercer Island a tougher draw in the tournament, hindsight is always 20/20.

“I told the kids to keep their heads up and that I felt they were the best, and

I mean this, the best high school team in state this year,” he said.

The Islanders will gradu-ate 13 seniors, including captains Devlin Conway, Peter Mahony, Benji Rothenberg and Chase York. Despite an early tour-nament exit, O’Hearn said his seniors all contributed to a great season.

“In the big picture we went 19-3, we won two out of three games on the East Coast, we beat Issaquah, we had a great year. But what we’re used to accomplish-ing, we’re used to finish-ing in the final and getting knocked out is definitely frustrating. But we know what kind of program we are and how we build our team, and we feel good about that as compared to other methods.”

Girls water polo open state competitionBy Joseph Livarchik

[email protected]

At the beginning of the season, girls water polo coach Andrew Smith-Jones knew he had a young team, having only one senior and twelve girls who had never played before. So he decided to tell his team to have fun.

“One thing that I’ve preached to them since day one is we’re going to have fun but we’re going to work hard,” he said. “Every single day, especially with 12 girls never playing before, we’re having a lot of fun, but at the same time working hard and trying to improve. We had really good improve-ment from our first game at Bainbridge, which we won, to our last league game at Bellevue, and we were able to win a close one there.”

The Islanders seem to be having fun as they compete in the girls water polo state tournament, splitting its games in the first two rounds. The Islanders opened competi-tion with a 9-7 win over Auburn Riverside before falling in the second round to Curtis High School. At the Reporter deadline, the

Islanders had one more tournament matchup with Curtis.

Heading into the tourna-ment, Smith-Jones felt good about the Islanders’ chances, saying his team might take a few teams by surprise.

“Other teams don’t really think highly of us up here. They’re probably thinking, ‘oh, it’s going to be an easy matchup,’ whereas I think we’re very much ready to go and make a big splash.”

The Mercer Island coach said he’s been encouraged by watching his team bat-tle and fight through the

season while also showing resilience after tough loss-es, with their inexperience being the team’s biggest weakness.

“It’s just about building more and more experience and over time, maybe not this year for state, but next year or the year after,” he said. “Especially with these freshman or sophomores that have more time to grow within the sport, which as a coach, I’m super excited to see what happens. Seeing improvement as a coach is phenomenal, you can’t ask for anything more.”

“Our defense has come a long way since the begin-ning of the season. Even with injuries, they have been very strong and have given other teams way more trouble than I would’ve expected,” he said. “When you have four really strong, smart, fast defenders, it’s tough to break down that

back line.”Going forward, Mercer

Island’s coach noted that the level of competition in the state tournament will continue to rise and said the most important thing for the Islanders to do is focus on what they do well and not get carried away with what other teams can do. If the Islanders continue to do what they do best, they’ll continue to be successful.

As for Hill’s streak, Rigby just hopes he can continue finding the back of the net.

“Hopefully he’ll just con-tinue scoring. If he scores three, great. If he scores one, that’s great, too. We can win a game 1-0 just like we can win a game 6-0.”

Mercer Island advanced to take on Shorecrest May 24 at Mercer Island High School after the Reporter deadline.

SOCCER | FROM 12

Question: I am finally coming up for air after a hard junior year and wonder what I should do this summer?

Answer: I certainly think all students need a well-deserved break after a season filled with SAT/ACT and AP testing but admission offi-cers have a different take on summer. They will look at junior summer as if it were another class to see how a

student uses their time and contributes to their commu-nity outside of the classroom. I like to see students use their summer as a chance to devel-op their interests or skills in an endeavor that they did not have time to pursue in-depth during the school year. For some students this might actually entail remaining in school but taking classes at Bellevue College or even the University of Washington, in

subjects that interest them but that they do not have access to at high school such as programming or Arabic. Other stu-dents inter-ested in com-puter science have taken short cours-es through Digipen or even online so that they are free to pursue other inter-ests during the day. Some of my students have found it worthwhile to enroll in a

pre-college program across the country so that they can sample what it might be like to actually study in a differ-

ent region of the country and pre-view college life at that campus. Not all of these pro-grams are actually taught by profes-sors at the college where these pro-grams are housed, so you would want to research this thoroughly, as it may not increase

the likelihood of your being accepted at that university.

You might want to explore internship or shadowing opportunities, which are generally unpaid, in an area you might want to major in, such as business, engi-neering or the health field.

While these internships can be difficult to find on your own, talk to parents of your friends to create contacts with adults who can direct you to professionals in the field. Sometimes it is a matter of sending out cover letters to different companies to see if there are summer opportu-nities. It would be important to include a copy of your resume and to let them know your willingness to contrib-ute, even if that entails filing or data entry.

Admission officers also like to see that a student has held a job as this reflects well on a student’s maturity and time management skills. Many jobs are still available by searching on Craigslist Seattle as well as websites sponsored by Mercer Island Youth and Family Services. Likewise, summer can be

a great chance to immerse yourself in volunteer orga-nizations throughout Seattle. I recommend that students explore volunteermatch.org to find opportunities that they might be eligible for.

Finally, please use this summer as a chance to tackle your common application essays or those needed for any public universities you are applying to in the fall, as you will feel so much bet-ter having this behind you before you start your senior year.

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.
