Six degrees of separation

By Katie [email protected]

The cost of development is going up on Mercer Island. New single- and multi-family units will pay the city for their incremen-tal impacts on schools, roads and parks if the City Council decides to adopt fees allowed under the Growth Management Act (GMA).

But the city has to spend money to make money. Several studies are needed before impact fees can be assessed and imposed: a level of service (LOS)-driven analysis and

a $16,600 rate study for parks, and a study for transportation impact fees would cost $25,380.

In a city where land values are high, the average home price is $1 million and rent in the down-town luxury apartments is far from cheap, affordable housing is a complex issue. With the adop-tion of impact fees, the Council may consider an exemption for affordable units.

The city seems to believe that switching to impact fees from the former mechanism, SEPA mitiga-tion fees, will be cost-effective in the long run. The Council dis-cussed parks impact fees on July 20 and transportation impact fees on Aug. 5, after the Reporter deadline. But that isn’t to say that certain members don’t have con-

cerns. Deputy Mayor Dan Grausz said

he worried about the effect of increased fees on the Town Center economy. He said that there are already enough barriers to a thriv-ing central business district on Mercer Island, and that the Town Center stakeholder group is con-sidering height incentives for developers if they provide “afford-able” retail space.

During a speech to the Mercer Island Rotary on July 28, Councilmember Debbie Bertlin said that she would want Island teachers, police officers and clergy members to be able to afford to live in the community where they work.

On July 20, Councilmember Terry Pottmeyer said she was con-cerned about providing for mem-bers of the community with lower incomes.

Islander’s hydroplane wins third-straight Albert Lee Cup at Seafair

By Joseph [email protected]

It wasn’t quite a photo finish for the Albert Lee Appliance Cup Sunday on Lake Washington. But after a penalty in the hydroplane race’s final laps and an official's review, J. Michael Kelly and the Graham Trucking U-5 boat took home the Albert Lee Cup at Seafair.

For Graham Trucking, a busi-ness in South Seattle owned by Islander Rob Graham, it was the company's third-consecutive cup win, and second with driver J. Michael Kelly.

Jolene Maggard retires after 28 years in dispatch, records

By Katie [email protected]

Jolene Maggard, lead records special-ist for the Mercer Island Police D e p a r t m e n t , retired July 29 after 28 years with the city.

She worked as a dispatcher for 17 years when the Island had its own communi-cation center and each dispatcher was a “one-man band,” before the city contracted with Kirkland, then NORCOM.

Maggard started out in the medical field and was hired in Mercer Island after taking an emergency dispatch class at Renton Technical College.

“I saw a sign outside the college [for the class] and

thought, I could probably do that,” she said.

After three years, she started the CARE — Community Awareness in Reporting Emergencies — program in 1991, which was “very near and dear” to her.

Maggard is “a wonder-ful advocate for everyone who needs help,” a friend told the Reporter.

She said she doesn’t have any long-term plans for retirement besides visit-ing her daugh-ter, who lives in Houston. She won’t miss waking up to an alarm every day, but will miss the department staff (“they’re like my kids,”

she said) and “just the everyday stuff.”

“Every day was different, and that was my philoso-phy: that I can learn some-thing new every day. And I usually did,” she said.

for economic diversity, and for workforce housing,” Pottmeyer said. “I would like to see this ordinance incentivize people and developers coming ... about how they’re going to devel-op housing.”

Housing is consid-ered unaffordable when a household’s monthly hous-ing costs exceed a certain threshold — most com-monly 30 percent of gross income — thereby reduc-

ing the budget available for basic necessities and other amenities.

“Affordable” on Mercer Island is usually defined as 60 percent of median income for renters, and 80 to 90 percent for owners. The impact fee waivers work in two ways: 80 per-cent can be waived right off the bat, but if the city allows a 100 percent fee waiver for affordable units, it must make up the remainder from other public funds. The waivers wouldn’t apply to entire projects; just the affordable units.

A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH), of which Mercer Island is a member,

is assisting the city with its fee waiver ordinance.

Mercer Island contrib-utes about $30,000 per year to ARCH’s administrative budget, and $20,000 for projects recommended in the ARCH Housing Trust Fund process. But most of those projects, including housing for seniors, low-income families, people with special needs or in homeless/transitional situ-ations, are built off-Island.

Mercer Island’s one affordable apartment building, the Ellsworth House, receives $900,000 in government funding to provide subsidized rates for seniors.

Mercer Island is the only Eastside city that funds a separate human service department, Youth and Family Services, that helps with housing issues. The City Council has also taken steps to address them.

Last year, the Council approved a development agreement with Legacy on its Hadley project, cur-rently under construction, to designate 13 units as affordable housing to rent at 70 percent of the median household income of King County.

Biodegradable, paraffin-based oil is pumped into the exhaust nozzles of the aircraft and instantly vaporized into smoke.

MICA lease may be on Council agenda

The lease between the city and the Mercer Island Center for the Arts (MICA), which was placed on the City Council work plan for 2014, still has not been dis-cussed.

The performing arts facil-ity is currently sited at the corner of Mercerdale Park, on Bicentennial Park and the old recycling center. Islanders have suggested that another location in the downtown core would be preferable.

Deputy Mayor Dan Grausz suggested schedul-ing the item in September or October.

“People want to know that this thing actually has a home,” Grausz said.

City to co-sponsor Art UnCorked event

The city received a request from the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce and Mercer Island Visual Arts League (MIVAL) to provide a grant and sponsorship for the Second Annual Art

UnCorked event scheduled for Sept. 11.

The inaugural Art UnCorked 2014 event has more than 500 people in attendance. The 2015 event will include an increase in local artists displaying and selling their art, musical entertainment, food trucks and Washington wineries sampling their wines.

“This event is a model for events to be held in the Town Center that will help stimulate economic devel-opment, bolster the Town Center as a neighborhood and hub of fun activities, and foster art as a key com-munity value,” according to the agenda bill from the City Council meeting on Aug. 3, after the Reporter deadline.

Organizers were request-ing a grant/major spon-sorship in the amount of

$2,500 from the city to cover a portion of the event costs, including tent and port-a-potty rentals, permit fees and advertising.

School impact fees have first reading

The city proposed an amendment to its code to adopt impact fees for schools. The fees would be $14,117.84 for a new sin-gle-family residence and $4,284.00 for a new multi-family residence.

The Mercer Island School District requested adoption of a school impact fee at the April 30 joint meeting of the City Council and School Board.

The Planning Commission held a pub-lic hearing on a proposed school impact fee ordi-nance on July 15. The ordi-nance requires an Interlocal Agreement between the

City and the Mercer Island School District to govern the operation of the school impact fee program. It will have a second reading on Sept. 8.

1,000 Islanders pledge not to text and drive

Many Islanders are pledg-ing not to text while driv-ing. The Youth and Family Services Department’s Communities That Care (CTC) Coalition is promot-ing community safety by inviting residents to com-mit to driving without cell phone distraction. During the weekend of Summer Celebration, over 1,000 peo-ple pledged not to text and drive by signing a banner that can now be viewed at Mercerdale Park (and soon, City Hall).

The 2014 Healthy Youth Survey found that 66 per-

cent of Mercer Island High School (MIHS) seniors reported riding in a vehicle driven by someone texting or emailing during a typi-cal month. Although CTC’s primary focus is underage substance abuse preven-tion, the CTC-supported high school prevention club (“SAFE”) received a grant from the Traffic Safety Commission to address this risky behavior. These efforts led to the idea of collecting signatures of those pledging to “Never Text and Drive.”

Meanwhile, the CTC is encouraged that the num-ber of MIHS 12th graders reporting having an alco-holic drink in a typical month has decreased over 20 percent since 2000.

The Coalition hopes to see similar reductions of high risk behavior by bring-ing attention to the problem of distracted driving. For more information, Derek Franklin.

City briefs

By Mary L. [email protected]

Of course, this will never happen to you. It was never

supposed to happen to us. But it did.

Despite several working smoke alarms, a potentially deadly fire began at our house when we were home having dinner on June 15.

It was an invisible fire. We could neither see it or smell it. We were unaware for some time what was happening.

The fire started outside. A seemingly innocent exterior light with a motion detec-tor on the rear door of our garage, faulted or overheat-ed.

It ignited the siding above the door frame and from there spread up into the attic space and to the trusses holding up the roof.

Like most households, we do not have smoke alarms in the attic space. Who knew?

Mercer Island firefighters said the fire had been burn-ing for 20 or 30 minutes before I discovered it purely by chance. I stepped into the garage for a pair of running shoes and heard a crackling sound in the ceiling.

However, at the same time our astute neighbor who lives behind us, saw the smoke billowing out from under the eaves. He knew what it was.

Meanwhile, I stepped back in the house and called to my two daughters who were downstairs.

Speechless, they ran up barefoot with the our little dog — my older daughter with her cell phone. We ran out the door together. There was no thought of grabbing

valuables or a purse. Just us in T-shirts and shorts. We then called 911.

In minutes, six fire trucks had arrived, including the big ladder truck from Bellevue. Journalistic habit dictated that I count. There were, at one point, 24 fire-fighters and perhaps double that amount of neighbors who had come to see what was happening, and to con-sole us.

With few words, the fire-fighters took charge. After several long minutes, the fire seemed subdued. Then suddenly it came alive again sending a column of bright flame through a large gash in the roof. We could only watch, stunned and amazed.

In the end, we were lucky — lucky for the resources we have available to us —lucky it was not at night.

The invisible fire in the attic To do list: • Review your home-

owners or renters insur-ance coverage.

Make sure your cover-age is up to date. Make sure you ask about cover-age for any changes in building codes that would affect rebuilding is called code coverage. If building codes have changed, your present coverage may not pay to upgrade to those requirements.

• Make sure firefighters can find you.

Tell the 911 operator your correct and com-plete address, including streets or avenues. Ensure house numbers are visible. Or better yet, sign up at SMART911.

• 911 calls from cell phones are routed to the

Washington State Patrol.

Before you tell the dis-patcher what is happen-ing, tell them your city or town first.

• Install smoke alarms in the attic — the space between the ceiling and the roof — even if you don’t have access to that space.

Only one person who has heard my story said that they had a smoke detector in their attic space. I believe they are essential. They would have warned us in time to stop the fire.

• Keep a clear path to exterior doors and exits.

The is common sense of course, but maybe you just don’t use that door to the side yard — it sticks or doesn’t lock right. You

stack recycling there? Clear it away. It is not just for you — but to ensure a safe clear path for fire-fighters.

• Know where flam-mable or potentially haz-ardous items are kept.

When the fire fighters arrived they had several questions for me. Were there firearms or ammu-nition inside the house or in the garage, such as gas for the mower?

• Know the location of your electrical panel and how to shut your power down.

Easy you think — but sometimes hard to remember during a crisis.

• Keep a pair of shoes stashed outside for emer-gencies — tuck a couple of $20s in the toe of one.

ROBERT SPENCERFarmers Insurance

Maple Valley

Fifty years ago, on July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law as an amendment to the Social Security Act. In that year,

almost half of those 65 and older in the United States, did not have health insurance. They lived in fear that get-ting sick or going to a doctor would send them and their families into poverty. Medicare o� cials want people to remember how it came about so long ago. But does anyone care about such an anniversary? It doesn’t quite reach the level of the moon landing in 1969. Yet, while Medicare has major problems, it was a � rst. A huge � rst. Millions have bene� tted from it. The program was part of Johnson’s vision of the ‘Great Society’— a country without poverty; without racial injustice.

But such a move in the 1960s — in the midst of the escalating Vietnam War, was extremely controversial. It was not unlike the more recent fuss about the Af-fordable Care Act. There is no doubt that everyone knows some-

one who has been on Medicare. Almost one out of three Americans depends on Medicare and Medicaid for health care. In our state, there are over 1.7 million Medicaid enrollees in addition to almost 1.2 million covered by Medicare — more than 40 percent of the state’s population. However, it is a huge sprawling, unwieldy government agency. There is waste and fraud. Earlier this year, the U.S. Government Accountability O� ce (GAO) designated Medi-care as a “high-risk program because its complexity and susceptibility to improper payments have led to ‘serious management challenges.’” An understatement. Lets hope for positive change for present and future patients — and for taxpayers.

A first for health

‘In 1965, half of those over 65 in the U.S. did not have health insurance’

To the editorA Trump-like view of the Island’s Town Center

I started to read a letter in this week’s issue and my first thought was, “Why is Donald Trump writing to the Reporter?” After reading further, I decided that the letter was either a hoax or written under the influence.

Eighty-story buildings, expanding the commercial area because the cen-ter is “too small,” adding several hun-dred stalls to the park-and-ride lot, adding a free, nonstop buses traveling around the Island with no home more than eight blocks away from a stop. That sounds like a real winner.

The letter writer informs us that the “silent majority” wants new shops, new jobs, new restaurants, new hous-ing and new grocery stores. The new restaurants should include waterfront locations. In order to find more liv-able places like Factoria and Rainier (Valley?), we must leave Mercer Island. He forgot to mention Seattle neighbor-hoods such as Ballard, West Seattle and Capitol Hill. He should talk to people in these areas to find out their feelings on the density and traffic explosion.

The Roanoke Inn is mentioned. This “great” business is 100 years old and somehow survived depressions and prohibition. You might ask home-owners that live close to the Roanoke if they would rather see it located some-where else. Maybe across the street from your home.

Finally, I assume that the writer does like the free standing Starbucks and adjacent open space. The truth of the

matter is that would never have been built if the adjacent apartment build-ing owner hadn’t lost his battle to keep Starbucks out. His five-story wall on that site would have connected to five-story walls on either side.

Mercerdale Park is ‘perfect place’ for MICA

Mercerdale is the kind of park that is located and optimized for gather-ing — and there is no better place to provide our community a tremendous cultural asset designed to bring people together to enjoy the arts, while simultaneously enjoy-ing the park. Located adja-cent to the part of the park that folks now use to gather, MICA will be a wonderful addition to the other park buildings we already have at Mercerdale.

Throughout the world, great community parks have great buildings. This is a perfect place, time and opportunity for such an addition to Mercer Island’s Mercerdale Park.

Ken Glass

Ten reasons MICA is wrong for Mercerdale

In his July 14, 2015, letter, Mr. Hill paints an incomplete picture of Mercer Island Center for the Arts’ (MICA) impact on Mercerdale Park.

First, Mr. Hill ignores the 1998 Master Plan approved by the City Council in 1998. Goal 2, c, states: “Retain publicly-owned parks and

open spaces in perpetuity.” Second, Mr. Hill states building

MICA’s cultural center will eliminate “the eyesore of the derelict recycling center.” That area is “derelict” only because the city has not yet restored the parkland which previously occu-pied that site.

Third, Mr. Hill doesn’t indicate: A) whether MICA will pay the city to lease the parkland; and B) whether taxpayers will fund any portion of MICA’s building project if its $20 mil-lion funding goal isn’t met or if it goes over budget. (Is there a public or pri-vate building project which doesn’t go over budget?)

Fourth, Mr. Hill omits where MICA employees and the-ater, cultural, class and other attendees will park, if streets will be closed, if there will be park-ing charges, or if other alternatives

have been arranged. Fifth, Mr. Hill states, “It (MICA)

will provide seniors with stimulating creative outlets and camaraderie.” That language is similar to words used prior to the Island’s Community Center’s construction. That Center still serves seniors as well as many others men-tioned by Mr. Hill.

Sixth, Mr. Hill exudes, “It’s (Mercerdale Park) where we’ll stage outdoor performances and where our audiences can sit and stroll and relax.” This implies MICA will intrude well beyond the foot path of the Park. It

Big truck rolls on steep street

A large commercial truck overturned at the bottom of S.E. 46th Street a little after 7 p.m. on Monday, July 28.

Neighbors sent photos to the Reporter of the “excite-ment in our little neck of the woods,” and said the driver lost power trying to climb the steep hill. The truck rolled onto its side, but no one was hurt.

Police said there was leaking fluid and broken glass on the roadway.

According to police, the dump truck stalled on the hill, rolled down and drove

into the hillside, causing it to roll onto its passenger side and spill its load.

A tow truck was called and the truck was removed.

James P. Murphy/Special to the ReporterThis heavy truck tipped over on S.E. 46th Street last week.

also ignores the fact that Luther Burbank has an out-door theater with seating as well as ample parking facili-ties.

Seventh, Mr. Hill claims MICA will stabilize the hill-side, manage water runoff, and improve trails and stairs in the woodland behind its structure. Is this included in its $20 million budget? Or is the city, along with MICA, paying for this project in the Island’s own parkland?

Eighth, Mr. Hill men-

tions how MICA will fulfill Islanders’ cultural needs. Yet he cites no demographics to demonstrate that Islanders might prefer to seek cul-tural venues that can afford high-priced artists, enter-tainers, productions and events in close-by Seattle and Bellevue.

Ninth, Mr. Hill doesn’t state whether MICA and/or the city will provide public toilet facilities for Farmers Market and park users adja-cent to MICA’s structure.

Tenth, on the one hand, Mr. Hill states MICA will not tread on Mercerdale Park’s foot path. Yet, if one

reads Mr. Hill’s letter care-fully, including Sixth above, it appears MICA’s footprint will extend well into the park.

Mercerdale Park is not New York’s huge Central Park. It is a precious, tiny gem of green relief in an increasingly dense Island center. MICA can seek other Island locations. But Mercerdale cannot. Let’s adhere to the 1998 Master Plan and “Retain public-ly-owned parks and open spaces in perpetuity.”

“It feels pretty good. When you don’t expect one and you get three, it’s pretty amazing,” Graham said.

The win didn’t come without controversy. Oberto driver Jimmy Shane, who drove the Graham Trucking boat to a cup victory in 2013, passed Kelly in the race’s final laps to cross the finish line first. But Shane was penalized for bumping Kelly, which pushed Kelly and Graham Trucking into first place.

Graham said after reviewing some of the foot-age, he thought the right call was made.

“They made it so fast,” he said. “A couple of refs got together and that was about as fast of a group effort as you can get. Unfortunately not everybody is going to agree with the calls.”

It wasn’t the first time controversy marked the end of the annual race. Graham noted contentious circumstances were gener-ated during his company’s first cup victory, with Shane driving the boat.

“This particular race seems to end in contro-versy more times than not,” he said.

Graham said he stuck around the racing pits after the event until 9 p.m. Sunday evening, and was up and at it again at 4 a.m.

Monday morning, wait-ing for Starbucks to open and back to the business of moving freight. Seafair is the busiest time of the year for Graham, who oversees his business while having a hand in race sponsorship and entertaining some 300 guests in his company’s hospitality tent during Seafair weekend.

Heading into Sunday’s race, Graham said a three-peat would be an amazing accomplishment.

“It’s not something peo-ple get to do in their racing career,” he said. “There are so many different winners, people put their best stuff and then some into Seafair.

“Everybody wants to win Seafair badly.”

Katherine Ann SkokGod called Katherine Ann Skok,

age 91, home on July 24, 2015 after a short illness.

Kathy was a loving daughter, wife, sister, grandmother and aunt who brought a sparkling smile into any room she entered. She was born September 26, 1923, to Irish immigrants Patrick O’Brien (County Cork) and C atie Bergin O’Brien (County Kilkenny). Patrick and Catie raised their family

in the Hillman City neighborhood of Seattle’s Rainier Valley. They were founding members of St. Edward Parish and Kathy and her siblings attended the parish school. The O’Briens were rich spiritually but not materially; as a child, Kathy was hugely excited when her father traded in their Ford Model T for a 1930’s Dodge.

After attending Immaculate Conception High School (Class of 1941), Kathy did secretarial jobs before meeting the love of her life, Frank Skok, of Jump O� , Washington, a Navy veteran and UW graduate. They were married in 1952, and amidst the births of their children (Neal, Jill, Joel, and Bill), they built a house on Mercer Island in 1958 (Her sister said at the time, “Why do you want to move way out there into the woods”?).

The cornerstone of that time was the many gatherings with Kathy’s O’Brien clan, and Frank’s sprawling family-he had eight brothers and six sisters. Frank passed away in 1969, and Kathy became a secretary at Mercer Island High School. Kathy rolled through the years of raising a family and working full time with grace and good humor. That her four children all earned college degrees gave her unending happiness.

After retirement in 1989, she stepped up an active life of church activities (at St. Monica, where she was a founding member) traveling, belonging to clubs, attending theater, both hosting and attending parties, always a happy member of many groups of friends.

We, her children, loved her because she was our best friend and biggest fan. We could tease her, laugh with her, talk with her. Her kitchen gatherings and dinners were always a special time, her house a place of happiness, her manner gracious, kind, loving, optimistic, and spiritual.

Kathy is survived by her children Neal (Janet), Jill (Bob), Joel (Flo), and Bill (Katherine Marie), and grandchildren Peter, Daniel, Lorena, Jesse, Hannah, Charlie, and William. She was preceded in death by her husband Frank, her sisters Mary and Agnes Rose, and her brothers Pat, Bill, Ed, and Tom.

Kathy and Frank were married in 1952 by her Brother-in-Law, Rev. Charles Skok. He and Rev. Pat Freitag concelebrated Kathy’s Mass of Christian Burial, Friday,

July 31, at St. Monica Catholic Church, Mercer Island.1375616

Police

By Kris [email protected]

On July 28, I had the privilege of accompanying Mercer Island police officer Todd Roggenkamp while he patrolled the Island.

While I walked into City Hall around 9:30 a.m., Roggenkamp had been there since 5 a.m. I signed some paperwork and then hopped into an MIPD SUV, ready to witness some jus-tice in action.

The day I went for a ride along was quieter than most, he told me. There were two other officers on this shift who shared the duty of responding to the five calls we received (strangely below average) during my ride. So although I was hoping for a car chase

down Island Crest Way, this fantasy was far too bold. But, I was glad nothing bad happened while I was pres-ent.

My ride reinforced the perception that Mercer Island is a relatively safe communiy. There are car prowls and burglaries, thefts, and minor traffic violations. But just like the emergency kit you (should) have in your home to pre-pare for “the big quake,” police are prepared and ready to respond to the big-gest of crimes in our com-munity.

In between patrolling parks and school park-ing lots, scanning license plates, monitoring vehicle speeds and stopping for a quick break at Tully’s, Ofc. Roggenkamp spoke about

his job. We talked about how patrolling on bikes downtown at Summer Celebration! is his favor-ite event to work and how Seafair is the most stressful weekend for police.

Every day is new and different for Roggenkamp, but there are many things that civilians seem to forget about when interacting with MIPD.

Here is a short list:• DO lock your doors and

close your windows when you leave your house or car.

• DON’T leave valuables in your car. Although theft is more common on the north end due to easy access to the freeway, south end residents should be just as

cautious. • DO call MIPD to report

suspicious activity in your neighborhood, parks, com-munity centers, etc. It may be nothing, but it’s best to be safe and let police check out the situation.

• DON’T call MIPD about your broken tele-phone or internet.

• DON’T call MIPD about a snake, bat, raccoon, or spider in your house. Contact the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife for nuisance wildlife problems.

Police recover drowning victim

By Reporter Sta�

Each Seafair week-end, officers patrol Lake Washington, looking for signs of Boating under the Influence (BUI) and other unsafe activities. The BUI patrols are a combined effort of local and state law enforcement.

If officers believe a boater is drunk, they do field sobriety tests.

If the boater is arrested, and no one else on board is sober or can safely oper-ate the boat, the boat is towed to a dock on Mercer Island and impounded. A BUI ticket is $1,000. If your boat is impounded, it will cost another $800.

When the BUI enforce-ment began about 10 years ago, 175 people were arrested on Seafair week-end. Last year, 35 boaters were arrested for BUI.

“Our officers, along with the Department of Fish and Wildlife, arrest-ed 16 Boating Under the Influence suspects, [and] one felony assault suspect which stemmed from a fight aboard a private boat,” said MIPD Commander Leslie Burns.

They also assisted in the recovery of the body of the 32-year-old drowning victim in Andrews Bay Sunday night at about 7 p.m

The drowning victim was turned over to Seattle Fire and Harbor Patrol because the incident occurred in their jurisdic-tion, Burns said.

Witnesses said the man fell off a 20-foot pleasure craft about 150 feet off-shore, in the middle of Andrews Bay not far from the Lakewood Moorage, according to local news sources.

They said the man kept popping up to the surface and going under. About an hour and a half later, the man was found by a police robotics unit about 45 feet underwater, hid-den in heavy silt.

He had no pulse and wasn’t breathing when he was brought to the surface. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The man’s name was not immedi-ately released. He was not wearing a life jacket.

Volunteers needed for joint emergency drill

On Aug. 20, the City of Mercer Island and the Mercer Island School District will be conduct-ing a full scale exercise to test their abilities to respond to a large scale incident.

The city needs 25 volunteers to assist with “Operation Safe Community” exercise.

Volunteers will work at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center, located at 8236 S.E 24th St. Volunteers must arrive by 9 a.m., and will be needed until 2 p.m.

Nine people are needed to be runners — going up and down stairs — and four people are needed to assist with food prepa-ration and distribution. Eight can help with regis-tration duties.

Two additional people are needed to assist as run-ners and help with food support at the tactical site at Lakeridge Elementary.

For more, please con-tact Police Department Emergency Manager Jennifer Franklin at 206-275-7905.

Planning for the new clubhouse began in 2011


Nearly one year after the teardown of its old build-ing, the Mercerwood Shore Club is ready to officially unveil its brand new club-house.

The Mercerwood Shore Club will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9 to celebrate the reopening of its new facility, locat-ed off East Mercer Way. Members can look forward to music, dancing and food as they take in the new and improved clubhouse.

“Our members were very supportive. Otherwise, we

wouldn’t be here,” gen-eral manager Paul Von Destinon told the Reporter. “They’ve diligently paid their dues and supported our efforts.”

The new building opened to members June 29. Along with the new clubhouse, members can look forward to a new, expanded weight room overlooking Lake Washington and Mount Rainier, a three-tiered ter-race space and a larger gathering area surrounding the pool.

The Shore Club estab-lished in 1953, when the old clubhouse was built. Aside from an addition in the 1960s, the clubhouse largely remained the same until its teardown last September.

Von Destinon said plan-ning for the project began

in the spring of 2011. The club contracted Mercer Builders and also part-nered with Weinstein A + U architects, with Von Destinon commending

both for their work. Everything but the club-

house remained open throughout the process, with Mary Wayte Pool, the Community and Event Center and the Mercer Island Beach Club offering facilities and pool use for Shore Club members and teams during construction.

“We’re very thankful to all the community organi-zations that were support-ing us,” Von Destinon said.

Because of such efforts, the club was able to keep its summer season operating with minimal impact. Now, Von Destinon said the club can get back to its normal availability with the new state-of-the-art facility.

“We are super happy with the results,” he said. “We’re looking forward to continuing with members on a year-round basis and meeting their needs in a nice club that our members can be proud of.”

Mercerwood Shore Club is celebrating its grand

reopening at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 9. Event is for members only. There will be food, music, and fun for the

whole family.

Veteran military pilot soars to inspire youth


Lt. Col. John Klatt remembers the thrill he got as a child in Minnesota watching the daring per-formances of pilots dash-ing through the sky at local air shows.

A 25-year veteran of flying through the Air National Guard, he now hopes to pass that thrill on to younger generations that attend his shows.

Klatt brought his aero-batic air show to Seafair this past weekend, putting on an aerial display with his F-16 “Fighting Falcon” to the masses watching across Lake Washington.

Performing across the country under his own name for 15 years, Klatt called performing at Seafair “one of the high-lights of my year.” As a longtime member of the Air National Guard, he’s quick to say how much he loves educating young people at his shows about the various career and edu-cational opportunities the Air National Guard can provide.

“Probably the most excit-ing part is seeing a young boy or young girl and you can tell you’ve connected with them through a per-formance,” he said.

“To be able to meet somebody and spend some time with them and know they’ve been inspired to fly airplanes or try another avenue is a real positive experience. It’s connecting with that next generation that’s real exciting for me.”

The F-16 is one of two planes Klatt primarily flew during his service with the Air National Guard,

the other being the C-130 “Hercules” aircraft. His military stints included stops in Somalia and Iraq.

He described the C-130 as a four-engine turbo-prop airplane, capable of air dropping paratroopers, jeeps and tanks, and land-ing on short run ways. The F-16 is designed as a fight-er airplane to do a variety of forces on the ground and can travel 300 mph.

“The Air National Guard taught me to fly. When I went to pilot training, I was proud to serve and be a member of the Air

National Guard,” Klatt said. “My service and my air show career are fairly intertwined.”

Klatt believes perform-ing for crowds across the country helps make a posi-tive impact not only toward the visibility of the Air National Guard but also toward piloting airplanes. Flying has proven to be a contagious love affair for Klatt, both at air shows and within his household.

“My mom and dad encouraged me to go to air shows, and I was inspired and awestruck by the abil-

ity of some of these air show performances,” he said. “Now here I am and I have a 16-year-old daugh-ter taking flying lessons. She just got her driver’s license and is learning to fly as well.”

“It’s my hope that my flying is inspiring to those who are watching and that they can see I’ve put my heart and soul into it over my entire career. And if a young person is interested in that, hopefully they will take a look.”

The thrill master

City to form focus group with off-Island commuters

By Reporter Sta�

The city is partnering with King County Metro on a new program called “In Motion” to encourage Island residents to explore the range of travel options available to them.

The city is looking for a focus group of drivers who commute off-Island to work in a single occu-pant vehicle (SOV) and who may consider alterna-tive modes such as buses, vanpools, carpools or bicycles for part or all of their journey.

If you’d like to give input on your commute, alter-nate services, incentives and effective communi-cation channels, attend a meeting at City Hall from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Possible

dates include Aug. 10, 11, or 13.

Free pizza and soda will be provided.

To sign up, contact con-sultant and Island resident Nancy Lee at [email protected].

This effort follows up on the success of Mercer Island’s new bus route 630, which launched on June 8.

The commuter oriented, weekday shuttle service replaced the terminated 202/205 routes. It oper-ates five trips to down-town Seattle during the morning rush hour, and five trips back home again in the evening.

Early usage data indi-cate that average daily rid-ership has risen 35 percent and peaked at 123 riders in a single day.

Both 9-10 and 11-12 teams reach championship games


The Mercer Island 9-10 All-Stars saw a spirited run in the state tournament go all the way to the champi-onship round July 25 and 26 in Montesano, Wash. Competing against 13 Washington all-star teams, Mercer Island came away with a second-place trophy.

After winning the district title in early July, Mercer Island took a nine-game winning streak into the state tournament finals, winning its first four games of the tournament and beating its first three opponents by an average of 10 runs per game, including a 13-4 vic-tory over eventual champs Federal Way in their second game.

Mercer Island over-came Walla Walla 5-3 in the winner’s bracket final round before crossing paths in the championship yet again with Federal Way, which had won five straight games in the loser’s bracket to reach the tournament finals.

Despite seeing Federal Way take the lead on two separate occasions during the contest, Mercer Island bounced back to tie the game both times. Heading into the top of the sixth

and final inning tied 7-7, Federal Way took their third and final lead to even-tually pull out an 11-8 win.

Even in defeat, manag-er Robin Fuchs called it a great run with a great group of boys.

“District 9 is typically one of the most difficult districts in the state, and we went undefeated through the district tournament, went to the state tourna-ment and didn’t lose until the finals,” Fuchs said.

“They were a bunch of resilient boys who fought hard in the championship game to come back and tie it up. These 10-year-olds

did everything we asked of them, leaving it all out on the field and gave it their best.”

11-12 All-Stars fall to Cascade

The Mercer Island 11-12 All-Stars saw their bid for a third-consecutive Little League state title end in the championship game of the 2015 state tourna-ment, falling to Cascade 15-6 Saturday, Aug. 1 at Northshore Athletic Fields in Woodinville.

The defending state champs opened the double-elimination tournament on

July 26 falling to Auburn 9-6, before reeling off five-straight wins to reach the title game. Mercer Island smoked Larch Mountain 31-1, beat Stilly Valley 10-5 and West Valley 19-6 before a rematch with Auburn, with Mercer Island pulling out an 8-7 victory. Mercer Island overcame Northwest 9-5 to reach the finals against Cascade, a team that went undefeated through-out the winner’s bracket.

Team manager Peter Noone said that in Saturday’s final, Cascade simply played unbeatable baseball in a game that proved to be the final of the

Little League careers for the Mercer Island All-Stars.

“These boys worked so hard, the hardest part was seeing an end and know-ing there was no tomor-row,” said Noone, who had coached the team for six years.

“The team was resilient after getting upset in the first game, we ran off five

straight wins. It wasn’t like one or two people carried us, someone new stepped up each game. It was a total team effort winning five in a row to get back to the championship game. We wanted this bad. We were two-time defending state champs and felt it was our tournament to win, and we fought hard.”

OPERA PREVIEW: Nabucco: 7 p.m., Aug. 5. Presented by Norm Hollingshead. Nabucco was Giuseppe Verdi’s first huge operatic hit. Verdi was only 29 in 1842 when Nabucco, his 3rd opera, was first performed. Nabucco has a rousing story and one great tune after another. But it was the chorus “Va, pensiero” that Italian audiences took to heart, believing them-selves as oppressed by their Austrian overlords as the Hebrew slaves in the opera. Don’t miss this powerful early proof of Verdi’s genius.
