Running with the pack

Two incumbents returned to Council; newcomers hope to contribute to city, school operations

By Katie [email protected]

More than half of Islanders voted in the November general election, which featured five races for the City Council, three for the School Board, a levy to give King County kids a better start in life and a measure limiting the state’s ability to raise taxes.

Two incumbents - Bruce Bassett and Debbie Bertlin - were returned to the Mercer Island City Council in Positions No. 5 and

7. Newcomer Dave Wisenteiner edged out incumbent Jane Meyer Brahm for Position No. 1, Wendy Weiker beat her opposition for open Position No. 3 and essen-tially uncontested Jeff Sanderson won Position No. 4 by a landslide.

Despite los-ing their races, Thomas Acker and Salim Nice, p r o p o n e n t s for responsible growth and “residents before region,” as well as Traci Granbois, whose campaign focused on improving transpar-ency at City Hall, said that the election was a “win” for Mercer Island.

“Obviously, the results are not exactly what I and 44 percent of voting Islanders had hoped for,” Granbois said. “However, I am hopeful that Islanders will con-tinue to stay involved and pro-vide constructive feedback to our Council on a continual basis, not just during election season.”

Acker said that the election helped educate many Islanders on important issues.

“While some may feel their can-didates weren’t elected, the coun-

cil shifted positions on all of the criti-cal issues since the beginning of the campaign season, [including] bus intercept, tolling, and developer con-cessions,” he said.

Nice said that the Council “needs to

seriously elicit input from all the citizens of this Island” on density, growth, and transportation.

Election turnout reaches 50 percent

Though it was nearly 74 years ago, Dean Quigley remembers the moment he decided to enlist in the U.S. Army Air Corps. It was only three days after his 18th birthday.

“It was on a Sunday. We hap-pened to be out on a football field playing touch football, and somebody came out from down-town and said the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor,” he recalled. “Everybody just scattered and went home to figure out what to do.”

Quigley, a World War II vet who will be 92 this December, is one of many local veterans who is celebrating Veteran’s Day this Wednesday.

New MIVAL art spreads holiday cheer

‘No island is an island,’ says King County executive


Regional collaboration on transit, housing and the environment were King County Executive Dow Constantine’s talking points at the Nov. 5 Chamber of Commerce lunch.

Constantine said it was an interesting time to visit the Island, a few days after the November general elec-tion that, for Mercer Island, had represented the conclu-sion of months of “residents before region” dialogue.

The West Seattle native commented on the Sound Transit listening tour, which represents “hitting the pause button” to hear Islanders’ concerns about access to I-90 and light rail.

“People are anxious about the pace of change, and I get that,” he said. “West Seattle has not always been sanguine about change… [And] change did come, but in a way, that worked better for us.”

But he agreed with Islanders that “the devil is in the details.” He said he promised to work on access to I-90 and parking, though Mercer Island is not alone in the challenge of having a local Park and Ride that fills up before locals can get there.

Constantine, who chairs the Sound Transit board, said that the agency is still committed to the providing additional, possibly exclu-sive, parking for Islanders.

“If [dedicated parking] is the answer, it will be pro-vided,” he said, noting that he will also work to route buses around Town Center.

The region’s population is expected to grow by one million people in the next 20 years, so things “are never going to be exactly

as they were,” he said. The key is “using the force of that change to enhance the things we love and improve the things we don’t love.”

Light rail will transform the transportation system with fast, frequent and reli-able service, he said, allow-ing commuters to “bypass the congestion that contin-ues to plague our region.”

Constantine, who was celebrating the passage of the county’s Best Starts for Kids levy, commended Islanders for electing Bruce Bassett, Wendy Weiker and “Jeff ‘Landslide’ Sanderson” to the City Council. Constantine said Bassett, the current mayor, is a good example of “the value of having local leaders who are also regional leaders,” pointing to Bassett’s support of the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration.

“Mercer Island is at the center of the region, liter-ally,” he said. “It’s been said that no man is an island, but it could also be said that no island is an island.”

Collaborating on issues like environment protection and renewable energy and uniting the region in these efforts has “saved all of us money,” he said.

Constantine said that moving forward, it’s impor-tant to “agree on the goal

and align our efforts toward it,” making sure all agen-cies on the same page and “not duplicating effort, but amplifying it.”

Islander and Deputy King County Executive Fred Jarrett also attended the lun-cheon. Constantine talked about how Mercer Island, despite being a relatively small city, has “a dispropor-tionate number of regional leaders,” citing Jarrett, State Reps. Judy Clibborn and Tana Senn, State Sen. Steve Litzow and Aubrey Davis.

Constantine also fielded audience questions about homelessness and afford-able housing. He and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray declared a state of emergency over homelessness, and will con-tinue to look not only for short-term solutions to get people through the night, but also long-term plans.

Best Starts for Kids is a first step to address the problem, as it will provide screenings and other men-tal health services for kids to make it less likely they will get kicked out or drop out of school. He will also encourage continued focus on prevention and rapid rehousing.

“We have the will and capacity to do these things, unlike other regions,” he said.

Katie Metzger/Staff PhotoKing County Executive Dow Constantine talks about hous-ing and transit at the Nov. 5 Chamber luncheon.

Islanders gathered at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center to cel-ebrate the center’s 10th anniversary and the opening of the annual holiday art show on Nov. 5. The show is hosted by the Mercer Island Visual Arts League (MIVAL) and fea-tures more than 200 pieces by local art-ists, including holiday wreaths. The show’s juror, Susan Walker, award-ed eight pieces at the opening reception that she said were “eye catching and soul catching.”

Wisenteiner said that campaigning was “a fan-tastic chance to meet so many Islanders and start to understand what people really want, what they like and what they are frustrat-ed with.”

Brahm, who had served on the Council since 2011, said that “there’s never been a time in the history of the Island when so many com-plex and challenging issues have come to the fore at the same time” and wishes the best for the Council in the years to come.

“I learned so much campaigning and appreci-ated that Salim Nice and I shared the common vision of keeping MI excep-tional now and for future Islanders,” Weiker said.

Bertlin said the election reaffirmed “how engaged, intelligent and constructive Islanders are.”

“Undoubtedly this was one of the most robust elec-tion seasons in many years and it’s great to have had so many issues aired and often deeply debated,” Bertlin said. “I will continue on our historic path of balanc-ing our unique geographic needs as an Island with

our role as a responsible regional partner.”

Bassett said he is also focused on the future, noting the ongoing Town Center visioning process and transportation negotia-tions with Sound Transit, WSDOT and Metro.

“I am confident that now, with the election behind us, Mercer Islanders will do what we do best – come together, share our diverse voices, and collaborate to address the challenges before us,” Bassett said.

Now “is the time to get down to business and help create the Mercer Island we all want,” Sanderson said.

“Regardless of the final winners, this election was indeed a mandate: a man-date for better governance,” he said.

Preliminary results post-ed at 8:15 p.m. on elec-tion night, Nov. 3, showed that less than 30 percent of Islanders had voted.

At Reporter deadline, 9,212 ballots had been returned out of 17,444 eli-gible registered voters on Mercer Island, or about 53 percent. In the 2011 elec-tion, 60 percent of the Island voted.

For the Mercer Island School Board, Tracy Drinkwater leads the race for the School Board Position No. 3, receiv-ing about 60 percent of the votes, followed by Bill Hochberg with 40 percent.

Positions No. 1 and 5 will be filled by David D’Souza and Ralph Jorgenson, who ran unopposed.

For Metropolitan King

County Council District No. 6, Bellevue mayor Claudia Balducci is lead-ing incumbent Jane Hague by about 60 percent to 40 percent.

King County Proposition No. 1, the Best Starts for Kids levy, is passing with 55.85 percent voting ‘yes.’

Tim Eyman’s I-1366, which would require a two-thirds “supermajority” of each house in the state Legislature to raise revenue, passed in 35 of the state’s 39 counties despite legal questions. It was rejected in King County.

Election results will be certified on Nov. 24.

City extends mora-torium hearing

Interested parties who want to comment on the possibility of extending Mercer Island's moratorium on downtown development can do so at the Nov. 16 City Council meeting.

The moratorium was established in February and amended in June to include what was known as the Hines project. Other Town Center property owners and developers have asked the Council for similar exemptions, including Leon Cohen and his Twenty Four Eleven/Freshy’s property and James Cassan and his idea for the “Hotel Mercer.” Pagliacci Pizza was exempt-ed initially because the building will be less than two stories.

If renewed, the morato-rium would begin on Dec. 16 and can last up to six months. The city is hoping that its Town Center vision-ing and code revision will have wrapped up by then.

Metro programs come to Island

Islanders can sign up for TripPool and Metro In Motion, two programs from

King County Metro that encourage alternatives to driving alone.

With the TripPool pilot program, Islanders can get free reserved parking at the Park and Ride. TripPool uses Metro-provided commuter vans to make one round trip each workday to the Park and Ride. Volunteer driv-ers pick up and drop off registered riders. The trips are coordinated through the free iCarpool app.

Volunteer drivers must be at least 21, have a smart-phone, and possess a WA driver's license and clean driving record. Driver perks include: a free, reserved TripPool parking spot at the Park and Ride, use of a Metro minivan at no charge and an opportunity to earn extra RideShareOnline.com rewards. Metro pays for gas and maintenance. Call 206-635-4500 with questions.

You can also sign up on Metro’s website for Mercer Island In Motion.

The Island is about seven weeks into the 12-week pro-gram. So far, participants have logged 1,348 non-drive-alone trips, and six participants have won $25 gift cards to local business-es. Sign up at www.king-county.gov/inmotion and start earning rewards.

Voters have spoken and no one could be pleased more by what they said than Tim Eyman.

The professional initiative promoter had another anti-tax measure on the Nov. 4 ballot. And like many of its predecessors, it is passing with support in nearly every county in the state.

“I’m absolutely elated,” he gushed in a phone call after downing four glazed doughnuts at a pop-up Election Night party at a Krispy Kreme in Seattle. “It is incredibly gratifying.”

Initiative 1366 may be his boldest attempt yet to force state lawmakers to do something many don’t want to do, which is to make it harder on them to create new taxes or

raise existing ones.The measure requires the

state’s sales tax be reduced by a penny next year unless the Legislature approves a constitutional amend-ment requiring any new or higher tax be approved by

a two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate. Voters must approve the constitutional amendment, too.

On election night, I-1366 was ahead in 35 counties. However, it was losing in King County where the largest mass of pro-tax voters lives.

Regardless of the ending margin, Eyman said the results show when it comes to taxes, most voters would like to see them go down if they can and make it harder for them to go up if they can’t.

Eyman celebrated this political touchdown with a little extra step in his victory dance.

Eyman ‘elated’ over initiative success

‘I-1366 is Eyman’s boldest attempt yet to limit tax increases.‘

To the editorAnd the winners are...

Who was the winner in the November elections? I would argue that the city was.

First, our voter turnout of 51 per-cent (and counting) far exceeded the King County average of 39 percent and demonstrated that Islanders care deeply about their leadership team and the issues confronting them.

Second, many of our City Council and School Board races were hotly contested, and in most cases, the vote split was 55 percent to 45 percent. As with most situations in life, competi-tion brings out the best, and I hope the winners will listen carefully to those opposing points of view.

Third, for those candidates who were not successful at the ballot box, please stay involved in the political process as the city and school district face a number of significant challenges in the coming months and need your input.

Peter Struck

Mayor thanks supportersThe campaign signs are (thankfully)

gone and the votes are (mostly) count-ed. According to the election statistics as I write this, 53 percent of Mercer Island voters have returned ballots in this election... significantly more than in any other King County city. We should all be proud to live in such an engaged community.

Now it’s time to focus our attention on the future. It’s time for us to do what Mercer Islanders do best – come

together, share our diverse voices, and collaborate to address the challenges before us. The upcoming years will bring many opportunities and some complex choices. I am confident that we will leverage those opportunities and meet our challenges with positive outcomes, just as Mercer Islanders always have. I look forward to the next four years and all that, together, we will accomplish.

Bruce Bassett

Issues still on the tableThis was an epic election for Mercer

Island. It’s remarkable that four chal-lenger candidates were willing to sacrifice significant careers, key fam-ily time, and personal lives, for many months, to seriously confront the profoundly troubling direction the incumbent Council has been taking.

The Council’s faulty policies for GMA, density, growth, and transportation, were each serious and compelling threats. It’s also pertinent that nearly half the voters clearly recognized the Council’s serious process and policy problems, so as to support the chal-lengers. It even took the incumbents to flip-flop positions, falsely claiming credit for things that others did, and mirroring the challengers key plat-form points, to try to save their own incumbent seats.

Even as you read this, new surprises may still be developing, about how our present Council potentially knew, but didn’t disclose, recent key pre-election developments regarding Mercerdale and a wetland unfavorable legal opin-ion reference park use. That informa-

Obviously he enjoyed re-pelling foes who contended the measure amounted to blackmailing lawmakers with the loss of billions of sales tax dollars for schools and state programs if they didn’t pass the tax-limiting constitutional amendment.

Eyman also relished that most voters apparently didn’t give a hoot he was the driving force behind the initiative, though oppo-nents strived to disparage the measure by tying his name to it.

This could have been a year for such a tactic to work. Eyman is under investigation by Attorney General Bob Ferguson for allegedly breaking a bunch of election laws in 2012 in order to pass his last anti-

tax measure.He’s been publicly ac-

cused of secretly moving hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions between two initiative campaigns and failing to disclose making $300,000 for himself in the process.

“They threw everything they had at us,” Eyman said.

Now, in an ironic twist, before Ferguson begins prosecuting Eyman for any past electoral hanky-panky, he could be defending the legitimacy of the initia-tive entrepreneur’s latest undertaking.

Opponents vowed to continue their fight in the courts, confident the state Supreme Court will eventu-ally deem I-1366 an illegal manifestation.

“While we are obvi-

ously disappointed in the outcome,” began Christian Sinderman, a spokesperson for the anti-1366 coalition, “We have felt all along that this measure was likely unconstitutional, and look forward to next steps to prevent 1366 from cutting billions from already inad-equate education funding.”

Eyman figured this might happen.

“We knew where the legal landmines were and designed the initiative in a way to not step on any of those landmines,” he said.

If he’s right, any explo-sions this measure sets off will be in the Legislature and on the 2016 campaign trail.

The district is conduct-ing the online survey before bargaining the calendar configuration for ensuing years, beginning with the 2016-2017 school year, with representatives from the Mercer Island Education Association (MIEA).

Results from the survey will be used with MIEA to determine how the school calendar will take shape.

The survey can be found online at www.surveymon-key.com/r/misdcalendar-survey2015. It will be open until Nov. 22.

27 music students selected for All-State ensemble

Mercer Island High School band directors Parker Bixby, Bryan Wanzer and Ryan Lane recently

announced that 27 MIHS students were selected for this year’s All-State honor music ensembles.

Generally, there are over 6,000 applicants, with only 17 percent selected by the Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA) for demonstrat-ing the highest standards of musical performance. The number of students accept-ed from Mercer Island is among the highest number of players admitted from any program in the state.

These students will travel to Yakima in February for a weekend of instruction, rehearsal and performance with several hundred of the finest students studying music in Washington state.

This year’s All-State honor ensemble from Mercer Island includes:

tion too, could have had a substantial election effect. The Council’s chronic poor behavior, spurring law-suits, lack of transparency, and faulty processes, while stiff-arming full disclosure, if not even using process tricks to suppress effec-tive wide citizen awareness and input (e.g., prevent-ing advisory votes, passing the TBD without a vote) remains abhorrent.

There now has to be a better way. Our Council needs to seriously elicit input from all the citizens of this Island. It is not acceptable to primarily pursue their own person-al agendas, or those of

special interests, or to put “regional” interests first. At least half of the vot-ers recognize our Council remains at odds with the views of an important major segment of our com-munity.

So let’s now band togeth-er to help the Council see a better way to change their present course. There are limits to growth. We final-ly need to properly deal with GMA, transit density, high-rise zoning, flawed bus transit intercepts, loss of HOV/SOV lanes, inap-propriate off-island use of MI P&R parking, exces-sive crime, emergency

preparedness, addressing short platting, keeping key service businesses on the island, assuring adequate (not just token) impact fees for infrastructure, parks, fire, GMA administrative overhead and school sup-port, as well as precluding threats to our parks. Each are arguably destructive to our Island community’s family and residential ori-ented future, and our very own peaceful and tranquil way of life.

To my supporters, I offer my profound thanks. You’ve made a difference.

East Mercer Way neigh-bors concerned about potential landslide hazards and other issues resulting from new home construc-tion on their private access road have sued the city over alleged mishandling of the project.

Corey and Courteneay DuBrowa, who live in the 4600 block of East Mercer Way, filed a damages suit with the King County Superior Court on Nov. 3. Corey DuBrowa said the city’s Development Services Group (DSG) and Planning C o m m i s s i o n “rubber stamp” projects without listening to pub-lic concern.

“I look for-ward to having the opportunity to demonstrate to a judge, in a fair manner which I was never given the opportunity to exercise with the city of Mercer Island itself, why the City’s actions are inconsistent with the law,” Corey DuBrowa said.

The project of concern is a Barcelo Homes “mega-spec house (more than 7,000 square feet), on steep slopes in a critical environmen-tal area subject to erosion, some exceeding 60 percent grade,” DuBrowa said.

Construction would involve removing trees, cutting into the slope and removing over 1,600 cubic yards of soil, “at least 250 truckloads up and down a single-lane common road used by the 14 families in our neighborhood,” he said.

The private drive is nine feet wide and “not capa-ble of handling this kind of heavy impact,” DuBrowa said, which is what initially prompted concern.

The city originally issued

a determination of non-significance (DNS) after reviewing the project’s State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) checklist. SEPA requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions.

The city posted a Notice of Proposed Land Use Action and invited public comment.

Many Islanders have been concerned about the loss of trees and historical homes due to new construction, especially practices of sub-

d i v i d i n g lots, short platting or infill devel-oping that can change the char-acter of neighbor-hoods.

But those looking to a c t u a l l y

get involved in the process should do so early. Appeals of certain permit and land use decisions can only be legally accepted from par-ties of record: people who contacted the city in writing within two weeks of being notified. The filing fee of an appeal is $875.

DSG wants to hear from residents, which is why it posts signs and mails notic-es to property owners with-in 300 feet.

“We share the commu-nity’s desire to maintain the character of neighborhoods. We take all land use deci-sions seriously and will con-tinue to provide residents with opportunities to weigh in,” said City Manager Noel Treat.

The city issued the DNS on Sept. 21 and the DuBrowas became parties of record and appealed it, an action that should prompt a review from the Planning

Commission. Then, the DuBrowas

were told that their appeal would not be heard, as the DNS had been withdrawn on Oct. 12 and that the proj-ect is “categorically exempt from threshold determina-tion and EIS requirements” under state law.

They received a letter noting that the decision to withdraw the SEPA thresh-old determination is not appealable, but future per-mits related to the subject proposal may be.

The comment and appeal process is “complex, dense and not particularly trans-parent,” DuBrowa said.

DuBrowa’s appeal includ-ed reports from a geotech-nical analyst, arborist and construction expert, which identified material omis-sions, inaccuracies and defi-ciencies in architect’s plan for the house and its SEPA checklist.

Greenberg said that he could not comment on the specific project because of the lawsuit, but explained terminology and the appeal process.

DSG can issue three determinations after sub-mittal of a SEPA checklist, which analyzes potential environmental impact on air, water, schools and more.

One is a determination of significance (DS), which expresses concern that a project may have a “proba-ble significant adverse envi-ronmental impact.”

The others are a determi-nation of non-significance or a mitigated determina-tion of non-significance (MDNS), which are more common on Mercer Island, Greenberg said.

DuBrowa said he had no other choice but to spend his own resources to pre-serve warranted objections to the project, which is why he chose to file a damages suit with injunctive relief.

City faces another lawsuitFor many, the day serves as a time for reflection and getting in touch with the friends and family mem-bers of those they got to know through their ser-vice.

Quigley said this year, he will be attending local Veteran’s Day programs happening in the com-munity. His service took him to Myanmar (then Burma) and India. Aside from being on the fringes of enemy movement, he acknowledges “nobody shot at me” during his ser-vice. But as a sheet metal worker-turned-airplane mechanic during his mili-tary tenure, he said his work on the airplanes are what he remembers most. His G.I. bill allowed him to study electrical engi-neering at the University of Nebraska, leading to a 42-year career working in military aircraft programs, which included govern-ment contract jobs and working for Boeing.

“[Airplanes] were the key to where I went,” he said.

Kevin Jackson, an artillery officer with the Marines who will retire after 23 years of service this April, said he looks forward to using Veteran’s Day to reach out to his for-

mer military peers, be it via phone, group text or social media. Though he’s grate-ful for his service and quick to say he’d do it again if given the chance, he admits reflection can also be try-ing, and that each veteran handles it in their own way.

“It brings up a lot of emotions. You reflect, you think back to the good times and the bad times and there’s a lot of memo-ries,” Jackson said. “It can be pretty powerful because it’s such a significant time in your life. To serve in combat is pretty much one of the most emotionally-intense experiences there are. [Veteran’s Day] is a day to think back of all the veterans. You remember so many of the experiences, the good and the bad.”

Serving in Somalia and doing two tours through Iraq, Jackson remembers the difficulty he experi-enced transitioning back to civilian life. As a member of the local VFW, he hopes to provide the support other veterans may need upon their return home.

“It’s definitely a pretty big adjustment,” he said. “When I got back from Iraq, I went basically from Iraq to being a civilian on Mercer Island within a month. It was definitely a big transition. I’m just very thankful to have a support

network here, you just try to pass that forward. That’s why the veteran’s organi-zations are so important, so that those service mem-bers that continue to come back have people that have been through the experi-ence and have people that, through their experiences, can help ease their transi-tion back into society and make sure they’re getting all the support they need.”

Tony Clarke, a former officer and helicopter pilot with the U.S. Navy who supported military opera-tions in Afghanistan and Iraq, said he looks forward to spending Veteran’s Day with his wife and three young children.

“My kids, they’ve never seen me in uniform,” said Clarke, who now works for Amazon. “It’s something they’ll have to learn from memories of me telling sto-ries.”

Every year, Clarke said Veteran’s Day focuses his attention and demands his time, which he hap-pily gives. He comes from a military family, and still has a younger brother in the Navy.

“It’s just a really amaz-ing fraternity of people,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been as close to a team as I had been in my two deployments to the Persian Gulf.”

“No man is free, except in his attitude” (Plato). This quote exemplifies how Chuck lived his life and his philosophy that “Happiness is a choice.”

Chuck died peacefully in his home on Sunday, November 1, 2015, surrounded by his loving family. Chuck maintained a positive attitude throughout his courageous eight month battle with cancer.

Chuck was born in Detroit, Michigan, on October 7, 1935 to Leo and Rosetta Wischman. Six years later his only sibling, John Wischman, joined the family. Chuck graduated in 1953 from the Shrine of the Little Flower Catholic High School. He graduated with honors from Michigan State and a degree in Zoology. He received a Medical Degree from the University of Michigan and completed his internal medicine residency at Saint Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

In 1958, while in Medical School, Chuck Married his 1st wife Carol and they had 6 children together.

In 1966, soon after setting up a private practice in Plymouth, Michigan, Chuck was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War. The family moved to Seattle, WA, where Chuck was stationed at Fort Lawton. In 1968 Chuck left the army and moved to Mercer Island. He joined Group Health Cooperative of Seattle, where he specialized in geriatrics. He inspired his patients and colleagues for over 30 years before retiring at age 60. Chuck was passionate about the Group Health philosophy of care and deeply believed and advocated that “Everyone deserves to have comprehensive care at a reasonable cost.” After retiring, Chuck lectured throughout the community on the art of aging well.

After the death of Chuck’s first wife, he married Judie Tweiten in 1971. With Judie’s daughter Sara and Chuck’s six children, they moved to their current residence on Mercer Island, which has

been their home and sanctuary for over 40 years.

In 2009 Chuck shared with the Mercer Island Reporter that “If I had to, I could survive off my backyard, having a two-acre Eden of produce: fig, apple, plum and pear trees; an earthly patchwork of vegetables; berries and herbs galore. . . I have plenty, so you might as well share it. People come by and I give things away, including 150 pounds of dried fruit a year, and harvests of potatoes, leeks, fresh lettuce, tomatoes and spinach for salads.”

Chuck embodied the Rotarian spirit of “Service Above Self.” He was an active member of the Rotary Club of Mercer Island for 18 years, leading club efforts from organizing the weekly Thoughts for the Day, to flipping pancakes at the Annual Summer Celebration, to providing food for the Mercer Island half marathoners. He was President of the Mercer Island Probus Club and a longtime member of the Puget Sound Angler’s Fish Club. Chuck was a leader and active member of the Group Health Association of Retired Medical Staff.

Chuck is survived by his wife Judie of 45 years, and their seven children; Mark (Carmen Anquili) Wischman, Jeff Wischman, Lori Jensen, Kim Wischman, John (Wendy Wells) Wischman, Amy (Stuart) Scarff, and Sara Crawford, their eight grandchildren (Austin and Addison Scarff; Julia and Charles Wischman; Gus and Joe Wischman; Egan and Finley Crawford), Chuck’s brother John Wischman (Joanne) and his nephew and niece, Andrew Wischman and Tammy Stamper and their children.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, November 14th, from 2pm-5pm at the East Shore Unitarian Church in Bellevue.

Memorial contributions in honor of Chuck may be made to the Rotary Club of Mercer Island or to Sawhorse Revolution, a nonprofit organization committed to one of Chuck’s passions, building tiny homes for the Seattle homeless community.

We love you Chuck. We miss you dearly, but we will feel you with us every time we walk to make our 10,000 steps a day, laugh with joy, feed the crows, harvest our gardens, care for our community, and strive to live each of our days to the fullest. You were larger than life.

THE RECORDTHE RECORDMERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2015 | PAGE 7

Police October crime by the numbers Every month, the Police Department calculates crime statistics and compares them to numbers from the year prior. In October of this year, there were 54 serious offenses, compared to 22 in 2014. The department

had 22 more cases of theft, seven more cases of identity theft and two more cases of auto theft. This year, there were 12 adult arrests and zero juvenile arrests. Police ar-rested 10 adults and zero juveniles last October. There were 1,192 calls for service this year, com-pared to 1,495 in 2014.

By Reporter StaffThere were 18 car prowls

reported across Mercer Island between Sunday and Tuesday last week, according to Mercer Island Police Department (MIPD) Commander Leslie Burns.

Burns wrote in an online post that the pattern “looked similar to chicken pox (all over the island).”

Due to the concentration of prowls in a short time period, investigators believe one crew is responsible for the rash of break ins.

In some instances, win-dows were smashed and large items such as back-packs and laptops were sto-len. In other cases, entry was made through unlocked doors and small items, such as change, were taken.

To decrease your chance of being a target:

-Don’t leave backpacks, bags, laptops, cell phones and other items inside the vehicle, or lock them in the trunk so they are not easily visible.

-Park your vehicle inside your garage or under a bright light and set your alarm.

-Never leave your car unlocked.

“We are entering the holi-day season which is always a popular time for prowlers, since so many people leave gifts and other valuable items in their cars,” Burns wrote. “Make a concerted effort to lock and alarm your cars and not leave any-thing which could tempt a prowler in plain sight.”

‘Tis the season for car prowls

MIHS grad’s ‘Pioneer Collective’ opened over the summer


A traditional freelancer or entrepreneur has had two options: work from home, or a coffee shop. But Audrey Hoyt is helping unconven-tional workers find the resources, network and space they need by catching on to a new trend in offices: collaborative work spaces.

Hoyt, a 2005 Mercer Island High School gradu-ate, opened a 6,600-square-foot creative coworking space in Seattle - called The Pioneer Collective - over the summer with her hus-band, Chris.

“We are independently owned and operated and focus on giving creatives and small business owners a beautiful and welcoming place to work and meet with clients,” she said. “Unlike many of the tech-focused spaces around Seattle, we

put design details first and believe that atmosphere is a primary driver of produc-tivity and happiness in the workplace.”

Hoyt used her interior design background to cater to what she believes is an underserved crowd: cre-atives, freelancers and small teams who work in indus-tries other than the fund-able tech startup world.

“There are thousands of professionals in Seattle who need a place to work, either because they are a remote worker, self-employed, or on a team that isn’t yet ready to jump into a commercial lease,” she said in a state-ment.

These incubators, accel-erators, and tech-focused shared spaces are found around Seattle, but they are generally geared toward a very specific subset of the economy, she said.

They don’t serve the 99 percent of independent workers who aren’t launch-ing a scalable technology product, but those people need somewhere to work

too. “We believe there is a crit-

ical mass of entrepreneurs, creatives, professionals, and small business owners who don’t fit the mold of other shared spaces, but want to work in a collaborative, intelligent environment with first class amenities,” she said.

The company is housed in the ground level space of The Westland Building at 100 S. King Street in Pioneer Square, and offers full-time and part-time memberships, mail han-dling, drop-in services, con-ference room rentals and 3,000 square feet of meeting and event rental space avail-able on a limited basis.

Islanders have wondered if a space like this would work in Town Center. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Terry Moreman said it’s “an intriguing idea” that came up during the city’s Town Center visioning process.

Islander forms creative coworking office space in downtown Seattle

Contributed PhotoThe Pioneer Collective, an independently owned and operated shared office space for cre-atives and small business owners, was started by a 2005 Mercer Island High School graduate.

By Reporter StaffA Mercer Island doc-

tor said he is modernizing medicine by reverting to traditional house calls.

Dr. Joshua Bailey, who recently set up shop on Mercer Island after moving to the area via Tennessee, Portland and Peru, is the only dedicated outcalls chi-ropractor in the city, he said. Treating patients in their own home, at the gym or even at their place of work gives him far better results.

“When I go to see a patient it’s not only at a convenient time for them which means they can fit far more into their day, but it also saves them the stress of

having to drive downtown for an appointment. They also avoid a lot of unneces-sary hanging around in a waiting room,” he said.

This system is not new, as it was favored by doctors in the distant past, but it is unique to the area.

“On my arrival in Seattle, I was pretty horrified to dis-cover how people were so busy that, despite being in pain, they would feel they didn’t have the time to take care of themselves by book-ing a chiropractor visit,” he said.

By offering home appointments, he is giving individuals the opportunity to easily fit a treatment into

their hectic schedules, and he can spend more time with them, providing him with a more ‘holistic’ view of their lifestyle.

“If a patient tells me they always have a headache when they wake up in the morning, the first thing I’m going to want to take a look at is their bed to see how it’s structured, the depth of the mattress and the arrange-ment of their pillows,” he said. “That just wouldn’t be possible with a patient visit-ing a downtown clinic.”

It’s close to that time again, the time to break out the � ight jacketsand fatigues, to gather and swap some old stories, regale ourselves with how cool we were, and de� nitely tip a few to honor the cause. Your social committee has again decided to make the venue the Roanoke on Mercer Island (same as last year), which is conveniently located on the north end of the island just off I-90. Veteran’s Day falls on Tuesday this year, so it’s a great way to shorten the work week. Expect the � rst of the graying eagles to assemble around 1630 or so. The Roanoke usually has some special promotion for Veteran’s Day and I know something is in the works, though I don’t know the details yet.

I’m sure by now you know the rules: You must be or have been a Veteran; you must have slept with a Veteran; or you just want to sleep with a Veteran. Or just ignore the rules.

The public is invited to attend the free meetings of the historical society, including this one in a grand old 1910 Island home and historic building which has been carefully reno-vated by the new owners, JayMarc Homes.

Marc Rousso of JayMarc Homes will talk about preserving and updating this island home, which is now for sale. Parking is available across the street in the former MI Boys and Girls Club or East Seattle School lots.

Islander awarded for real estate

Allen Uyeno, a Seattle-based real estate agent and one of the directors of the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce, was honored with a 2015 Five Star Real Estate Award.

Uyeno grew up on the South end of Mercer Island, spending summers at the Mercer Island Beach Club, and graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1970.

He is the “Home and Land Magazine” Neighborhood Specialist for Mercer Island.

Uyeno said he considers the Five Star Award to be “a crowning achievement in real estate… It must be earned the old fashioned way, with hard work and diligence.”

By Reporter Staff

The Mercer Island girls cross country team had a top 10 finish as a team at the 3A state cross country championships Saturday, Nov. 7 at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.

The Islander girls placed ninth overall with a team score of 193. Glacier Peak won with a score of 112.

Cece Rosenman was Mercer Island’s top finisher in the girls 5K, coming in 31st at 19:33. Maggie Baker was 55th (19:59.6) and Kayla Lee behind her at 56th (19:59.8).

Mercer Island girls XC 9th at state meet MI volleyball 3rd at districts, on to stateMercer Island sweeps at tourney after falling to Lakeside in semifinal round


A shaky start against a familiar foe at the 3A Sea-King district tournament may have had the members of the Mercer Island vol-leyball team experiencing flashbacks.

So with a couple match-es left and a state tourna-ment berth at stake, the Islanders made a point of doing everything they could to prove the slow start was nothing more than just a phase.

After falling to Lakeside in the district semifinal round, the Islanders swept their matches with Seattle Prep and Eastside Catholic

to finish third at Sea-King and advance to the state tournament next weekend in Kennewick.

It was the second-straight year Lakeside triumphed over the Islanders at dis-tricts, winning 17-25, 25-22, 23-25, 20-25 Saturday morning at Juanita High School. Lakeside later fell in three sets to Holy Names Academy in the district finals.

“I think that we played nervous,” Mercer Island coach Susan Rindlaub said. “Our offense was really good, we hit well, but we missed a lot of serves which is really uncharacteristic for our team. Maybe it was a little bit of thinking about how we lost to them last year. Lakeside played an amazing match and made very few mistakes, but we made too many easy mis-

Mercer Island girls soc-cer saw their season end one win away from the 3A state tournament, as the Islanders fell 1-0 to Holy Names Academy Saturday, Nov. 7 at Southwest Athletic Complex in Seattle.

Holy Names’ Sarah Tocher scored in the 57th minute to send her team to the 3A state tournament. In goal, Samantha Miller recorded the shutout.

It was an all-too familiar end for the Islanders. After

leading their conference in scoring during the regular season, a scoring drought befell the Mercer Island girls soccer team at a crucial time.

Mercer Island had suf-fered back-to-back 1-0 losses to Bellevue to close league play and open the postseason. Heading into halftime scoreless Nov. 4 with Lake Washington dur-ing their KingCo tourna-ment lose-out game, the Islanders found themselves amidst their 200th minute of scoreless play.

Though Mercer Island kept pushing against the Kangs, and eventually found paydirt to advance to Saturday’s Metro crossover.

The Islanders got second-half goals from Camryn Steiner and Jackie Stenberg to break a two-game scor-ing drought and beat Lake Washington 2-0 Wednesday at Islander Stadium.

“We just came in from the half and we were frustrat-ed,” Steiner said Wednesday. “We had dominated that first half and we knew we wanted it. We knew we were

pushing hard and we knew it was coming. We just really wanted to get it in the back of the net.”

Steiner found the back of the net in the 42nd minute off a right-side feed from Kate Miller to help keep Mercer Island’s postseason hopes alive.

“They knew it was com-ing, they could feel it,” Mercer Island coach Ryan Camden said. “We told them that all it’s going to take is one little spark. That first one came and you saw the entire team come alive.”

Mercer Island was indeed pushing against Lake Washington, attacking early and firing nine shots on goal in the first half. The Islanders saw a goal from Namya Malik waved off in the ninth minute, with Malik being whistled for offsides.

Mercer Island registered another 14 shots in the sec-ond half, with Steiner put-ting the team ahead two

minutes after the break. Jackie Stenberg added the insurance for the Islanders in the 53rd minute, bounc-ing a header past Lake Washington keeper Mikaela Powers off a Piper Casey corner kick.

Mercer Island finished second in the 2A/3A KingCo standings with a league record of 9-3 and an overall record of 14-5.

Mercer Island boys water polo rolled in postseason play with impressive victories over Gig Harbor and Roosevelt to reach the Region 1 championship game where they nar-rowly lost 10-9 to league nemesis Bellevue.

The Islanders dis-played defensive might in their first game showdown beating West League’s no. 2 seed Gig Harbor 19-5. The Tides averaged 14 goals per game during the season, but came up far short when facing the Islanders stingy defense. Sam Nair’s field block of an early Gig Harbor goal attempt set the defen-sive tone. The Islander offense went out strong as well with hole set Eric Raisys scoring two goals in 20 seconds at 4:39 and 4:17 in the first quarter. The Tides

kept it tight in the first quarter scoring at :03 to make it 3-2 at the end of the first. The Islanders broke open the game with six unanswered goals in the second quarter to lead at the half 8-2. The Islanders continued aggressive offense, torpedoing the Tides with 11 goals in the second half for a

lopsided win. Raisys and Conner Vacca led the Islanders with five goals each, Hunter Peshkin had five saves on the game.

The Islanders went on to rough up Roosevelt 16-4 in the regional semifi-nals. The Islanders jumped to a 4-1 lead in the first quarter and

never looked back. The R ou g h r i d e rs were plagued by shot-clock viola-

tions throughout the game, and had trouble finding their offen-sive rhythm with the absence of leading scor-ers Conrad and Jake Gordon. The Islanders scored six goals in the second quarter to com-mand a 10-2 lead at the half. Early in the third quarter, Carson Coe fed the ball to Nik Lacrampe, whose back was square to the goal and a Roughrider. In one seamless motion, Lacrampe caught the ball, side-stepped the defender and rotated 180 degrees to fire a shot into the lower right corner. Lacrampe’s “spin move” was indica-tive of creative Islander shot-making in the sec-ond half. Vacca led with four goals and Cole Nielsen had six saves on the game.

Cross-lake rivals Bellevue and Mercer Island played for the championship, with Bellevue besting the Islanders 10-9. This is the fourth time the teams have played this season, with the Wolverines coming out

on top in all four con-tests. Bellevue was up 8-2 at the end of the third quarter and the Islanders seemed deflat-ed when coach Andrew Smith-Jones challenged the team to “win this quarter.” The Islanders responded mightily and came nearly all the way back, outscoring the Wolverines 7-2 in the fourth. The Islanders were down 10-7 with a minute left when the Vacca scored on a 5-meter shot to bring it within two. Both teams thought “game over” when the shot clock buzzer sounded, but one second remained on the game clock. Goalie Hunter Peshkin recognized the differ-ential and threw a Hail Mary the length of the pool which was swatted into the net by Vacca at the buzzer, giving the Islanders some momen-tum heading into state despite the frustrat-ing loss. Vacca led the Islanders with five goals in the game.

The Islanders’ first state game is 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12 at Curtis High School. Game updates can be found on Twitter @MIh2oPolo.

MI boys water polo state-boundtakes on our side.”

“They played great and we just didn’t show up to play as a team, but it definitely got better through-out the day,” senior Jemma Yeadon said. “It definitely made us realize that we have to come out and take this. State has been the goal, and no one is going to hand it to us.”

Mercer Island bounced back with sharper serving, and coincidentally enough, dispatched both Seattle Prep and Eastside Catholic in identical 25-18, 25-12, 25-12 match-es.

Yeadon led the way with 29 kills, 31 digs and three aces in the two wins, but it was a solid effort all around. Adara Hamilton had 24 kills and four aces, Kelly Behrbaum had 18 kills and four aces, Tess Hendelman had 22 digs and three aces, and set-

ter Natalie Robinson posted nearly 40 assists in each match.

“It was all on our side,” Robinson said. “I think we started playing again like we know how we can play. We played MIVB volleyball.”

Rindlaub said she was most impressed with how her team finished Saturday, and was encouraged by the lengths her players went to fix their mistakes.

“They played incredibly well, especially in that last match. It was one of the best all-around matches we’ve played this season,” she said. “We had so much energy. Considering it was our third match of the day, some of our hustle plays were pretty unbelieveable.”

Mercer Island will compete in the 3A state volleyball cham-pionships Nov. 13-14 at the Toyota Center in Kennewick.

RB William Sanders rushes for four TDs to lead Raiders


Mercer Island appeared poised for victory in their week 10 season finale against Nathan Hale Friday night. In their first game in two weeks, the Islanders led the Raiders 28-24 heading into the game’s final quarter. They had possession, and they were driving.

But a few costly turnovers late in the game afforded the Raiders the final momen-tum swing they needed to pull away.

Behind four touchdowns from senior running back William Sanders and a pair of field goals from Dylan Macduff, Nathan Hale beat Mercer Island 33-28 Friday at Northeast Athletic Complex in Seattle.

The Raiders capitalized off two fourth-quarter take-aways to score the game’s final nine points and come away with the win.

In defeat, Mercer Island coach Brett Ogata simply wished the result could’ve played out differently for his graduating players.

“The seniors played their hearts out. I just wish I could give them a win,” he said. “They’re a bunch of great kids that worked hard.

It’s just the darndest sea-son, just one of those things where if it could go wrong, it went wrong for us.”

The game wasn’t without any magic for the Islanders. Both teams were scoring nearly at will in the first half. Sanders scored three of his four rushing touch-

downs in the opening half, two from one yard out and the other a 57-yard TD run, while Jordano Mark paced the Islanders (3-7, 2-4) with two touchdown receptions of 74 yards and 16 yards. With just over two min-utes left in the half, Mercer Island’s Will Krause execut-ed the flea flicker to per-fection, finding quarterback Cole Miller for a 48-yard touchdown pass to tie the game 21-21.

But the half ended with a bit of controversy. With the Raiders (8-2, 3-1) staring at a fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line and the final sec-onds ticking away, Mercer Island stuffed Nathan Hale’s rush and came up with the ball, which defensive back Giovanni Rocha ran back to the end zone.

No touchdown was sig-naled, as the referees con-vened and called for a replay of the down due to an inad-vertent whistle. The Raiders would kick a 12-yard field goal to end the half ahead 24-21.

Rocha would pick off Nathan Hale quarterback

Nathan Cooprider on the first play of the second half. Eight plays later, Miller found Mark from 13 yards out for their third touch-down connection of the game. But it was the last time Mercer Island would score.

On the Islanders’ opening drive of the fourth quarter, Miller was picked off on third-and-10 at the Nathan Hale 11-yard line to send the action the other way. Two plays later, Sanders broke away for a 51-yard touchdown run to put the Raiders ahead 30-28.

Mercer Island’s next pos-session lasted three plays and ended with a fumble on third down. The Raiders capitalized with a 14-yard field goal, which was ulti-mately their winning points.

It was a crushing end to a season that posed much

adversity to the Islander squad. But the Mercer Island upperclassmen did their best to make the most of their final moments together on the gridiron.

“Going out in my last game, I just wanted to play hard and play for my team-mates,” said senior lineman and captain Joe Williams. “Obviously, we faced a lot of injuries and had to bring a lot of young guys up, but I feel like the record doesn’t show how much we grew as a team.”

“We never gave up. We always fought and made the most of the opportunities that we had,” said senior wide receiver Griffin Kane. “It was a lot of fun to play with the seniors and the team that we had this year. Best group of guys I’ve ever been around.”

Boys golf headed to Scotland in July

Six members of the Mercer Island boys golf team will participate in the American High School Golf Championship in St. Andrews, Scotland this summer.

After receiving an invi-tation to the tournament, boys golf coach Tyson Peters said he contacted the families of the players attending, and all showed their full support.

“It is an incredible oppor-tunity to take this group of kids to play at the his-torical home of golf at St. Andrews,” he said.

The week-long tourna-ment in July draws teams from around the world, with teams from South America, North America and Europe participating last year. The students going on the trip will take historical tours of Edinburgh and the Old

course at St. Andrews, and attend the British Open as part of the week-long expe-rience.

“England and Scotland have such a rich history, I’m sure they’re going to get tired of me talking,” Peters said.
