On Thursday, June 4, the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) revoked the license of the Mercer Island Care and Rehabilitation Center, argu-ing that the center constituted an immediate jeopardy to resident health and safety. The emergency closure was based on “a signifi-cant history of uncorrected viola-tions,” reads DSHS’ Statement of Deficiencies.

The news didn’t come as much of a surprise, said Betsy Zuber, mental health counselor and geri-

atric specialist for Mercer Island Youth and Family Services. Both she and the police department had responded to complaints about the facility in the past. Zuber said even before she heard news of the facil-ity’s closure, she often discouraged families from housing their loved ones there, advising them to check in regularly if they did.

“The state closed them down and I think that speaks for itself,” said police commander Leslie Burns. It’s not uncommon for the department to get calls from dementia patients across the Island, some of which are unfounded or don’t generate police reports. But Burns said she knew this particular facility had its challenges.

The 100-bed facility is one of a number of for-profit facilities

nationwide, managed by Videll Healthcare. Nursing homes in Boston and Minneapolis have also been cited for financial trouble, including trash build-up, discontin-ued services and stoppage of food deliveries. MI Care and Rehab has 74 patients, all of whom will be moved to alternate facilities in the next three weeks.

Nursing homes that accept Medicare patients are graded on a five star scale (www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare). Most of the Island’s facilities receive high rat-ings. Covenant Shores, for instance, has an overall rating of five stars. But MI Care and Rehab consis-tently rated below average. Though results do not reflect DSHS’ recent

Roadwork aheadThis year’s busy season

of road construction in the greater Seattle area has already begun.

Drivers can expect two more weekends of full closure of SR-520 bridge.

Crews working for WSDOT and Sound Transit have begun work to realign the east-bound I-90 off-ramps to Bellevue Way and I-405 as part of a proj-ect to add HOV lanes to I-90 between Seattle and Bellevue. This stage of work will require around-the-clock clo-sures of the East-bound off-ramps to Bellevue Way and I-405 later this summer.

Beginning in July, work to replace two aging expansion joints on West-bound I-90 at the East Channel Bridge, between Bellevue and Mercer Island, will close three lanes around the clock for up to seven days.

Check for construction updates online at www.wsdot.wa.gov.

Transportation offi-cials remind drivers to protect yourself, your passengers and workers when traveling in a work

zone.There were close to

1,500 work zone col-lisions in 2013. With summer construction underway it’s important to slow down. More than 90 percent of work-zone collisions result in inju-ries to the driver and passengers. Set a good example. Slow down, pay attention. More than 40 percent of work-zone collisions in Washington involved a driver age 30 or younger.

Parks & Rec’s Marilyn Anderson retires

After 33 years of ser-vice to the Mercer Island community, popular city employee Marilyn Anderson retired from the Parks and Recreation Department May 22, 2014. Anderson was hired as the first female maintenance employee for the city. She served in many roles through-out her career, including at numerous volun-teer events across the parks system, at special events such as Summer Celebration and Mostly Music in the Park, on capital improvement projects, and other parks and trail maintenance responsibilities. She’s

had a passion for work-ing outdoors and says she has cherished every moment of her career. Known throughout the community, Marilyn’s personality, spontaneity, and dedication have had a tremendous impact on her coworkers. The Mercer Island commu-nity, and the city thanks her for such notable service.

Country Village granted one-month exten-sion

The Mercer Island School District approved a one-month extension on the lease for Country Village Day School (CVDS) at a school board meeting last Thursday, June 12. CVDS had been petitioning for the extension since vot-ers approved additional levies earlier this year.

CVDS will eventually move to more permanent grounds on the North-end of the Island at the former site of the John L. Scott offices near City Hall, but board members and faculty worried that they wouldn’t be able to ready the unit in time, without interrupting pro-gramming.

The 30-day extension would start September 30 and run through the end of October.

Coval develop-ers file land use petition

The developers behind 18 town houses planned for the historic Coval property have filed a petition under the Land Use Petition Act (LUPA), pending a potential rede-sign of the project.

In court documents filed May 14 by MI 84th Limited Partnership, the petition alleges the city’s decision was an “erroneous interpreta-tion of the law.” Since the city rejected the Coval development in February, the Coval family has sold the lot to MI 84th Limited Partnership. The petitioner also alleges that the redesign process provided by the city’s development regulations is optional, not manda-tory.

The Coval house has been featured on HGTV”s “Million Dollar Homes” and has its own website. Some regard it as an iconic piece of Island history.

News briefs

By Celina [email protected]

On Monday, June 16 representatives from Sound Transit and King County Metro, present-ed to Council and staff, updated design plans for the Island station and a more nuanced study of the impact East Link will have on the North-end Park-and-Ride. The presentation follows last Thursday’s executive order by Dow Constantine, calling for greater integra-tion between bus and rail lines.

When East Link begins service in 2023, it will overlap with certain exist-ing routes, like ST 550 and 554, which stop on the

Island and proceed on to destinations in Bellevue and Issaquah.

“As we build out our regonal light rail sys-tem,” said Don Billen, East Link’s deputy proj-ect director, “there will be many opportunities to integrate bus and rail ser-vice, to better serve riders and to achieve operational efficiencies for the transit agencies.”

On Mercer Island, that means removing dupli-cate services. Buses stop on the Island 350 times a day. An additional 150 buses travel across I-90 but don’t stop in the city. A more integrated plan would remove some of those buses from the road. Billen says he expects East Link to require as many or

Come Celebrate with Usit’s our Birthday!

Established in 1914 by George MacGuire, the Rowy is the oldest business on Mercer Island.

The Rowy has witnessed a lot of change since its construction, horseback was the principle mode of

transportation and patrons came to visit via ferry from the Leschi neighbor in Seattle. World wars were fought,

abolitionist polices have come and gone, Great depressions were weathered, Floating bridges were constructed to support the growth of automobiles, the introduction of both Radio and Television and now the evolution of the computer generation. But no matter what the Inn has witnessed, it has always been the communities extended living room to discuss all the topics

of daily importance.

The Rowy cherishes its role as the informal gathering spot for all class reunions from those who graduated from the local schools. The place to be for all those attending college to come back home and re unite with there buddies, and in

many cases the place to have your first beer when celebrating your 21st birthday.

In a effort to show our appreciation to our patrons and the community who have supported the Rowy for so many

decades, we are sponsoring the local fireworks show during the cities summer celebration event Saturday July 12. We

hope you can all come out and join us…..

The Roanoke Inn has witnessed a lot of change since its construction in 1914. Horseback was the principal mode of transportation and patrons came to visit via ferry from the Leschi neighborhood in Seattle. Two World Wars were fought, abolitionist policies have come and gone, great depressions were weathered, and fl oating bridges were constructed to support the growth of automobiles. The introduction of both radio and television and now the evolution of the computer

perform the National Anthem. Principal Vicki Puckett then addressed the class of 2014, quot-ing the Paradoxical Commandments by Dr. Kent M. Keith, saying “If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.”

Valedictorians Shalva Kohen, Devina Kumar, Peter Litzow, Rachel Van Gelder and Mary Wingerson gave their speech “#Selfie”, with Kumar declaring their class graduating in “the year of the selfie.” The valedicto-rians spoke of how self-ies marked memorable moments for the Islanders throughout their high school years on their social media accounts, with the group taking one last group selfie on the stage before

walking off. History teacher Mike

Radow, selected by the stu-dents as their faculty speak-er, encouraged the graduat-ing class in his “Go, Go, Islanders Go” speech to go forward with confidence, curiosity and joy, assuring students they wouldn’t be alone going forward. “We’re with you all the way,” he said.

MIHS graduating senior Danno Mayer, voted class speaker, spoke of tech-nological advancements through three big revolu-tions: The agricultural revo-lution, the industrial revolu-tion and now, the computer revolution. Mayer noted the diminishing gap between each revolution and how technology has made the world change faster, say-ing with change comes an explosion of new possibili-ties.

“The best things come to those who do,” he said. “Congratulations class of 2014, because you did it.”

The crowd was treated to musical performanc-es of Pablo de Sarasate’s “Navarra,” featuring David Bi and Sarah Lee on vio-lins and Alex Zhu on piano, a cello performance by Naomi Tran of Mark Summer’s “Julie-O,” and a vocal performance from Molly Azose and Sydney Blosch of “For Good” from the musical “Wicked,” with piano accompaniment from Coleman French.

And with one last mes-sage to their class before ushering the tassel flip, class officers Joey Chin, Mark Anderson, Lorenzo Guevara and Justin Sukernek advised the 2014 class to “always be yourself.”

OPINIONOPINIONMERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2014 | PAGE 5

Even before a single piece of steel has been laid on I-90 for light rail, Sound Transit is looking ahead to what is next.

The agency is asking drivers and riders, students and businesses, those abled or not, where should mass tran-sit go when current projects are complete in 2023?

The agency has completed a Draft Supplemental En-vironmental Impact Statement for updating the regional transit Long-Range Plan and is asking for input.

We believe in planning ahead. But it is hard to imagine how meaningful any input can be now when the way people move about now — whether it is to school or work or the doctor — is rapidly changing.

But Sound Transit has.The population of our

region is expected to increase by nearly a third by 2040. No doubt plan-ners at Sound Transit have modeled several scenarios regarding how this growth will shape the region. The

region’s mobility and economy depend on moving more people on mass transit. It is crucial to get it right.

At the same time, the state’s Transportation Commis-sion is putting together a 20-year plan for improvements needed statewide. They are also completing a study on switching from a gas tax approach to paying for trans-portation improvements to a road usage charge. Gas tax revenues have fallen and probably won’t bounce back. Cars are more e� cient and people are driving less. Fewer people are expected to even own cars in the future.

Do these two plans matter? You bet they will. They will not only determine the “how” but the “where.” Where in-vestments in infrastructure go, so goes development and housing. These plans will determine how we will pay for and use these trains or buses or moving sidewalks. They will determine what life will be like in the Puget Sound region for decades to come.

For more on Sound Transit’s Draft SEIS, go to soundtransit.org/longrangeplan. For the state

Transportation Commission, go to www.wstc.wa.gov/.

Transit agencies begin planning for 2030 and beyond

To the editorDesign library for us

No library book drop?You have got to be kidding?What is the “safety issue” and why

can’t we just build a gentle ramp? Every one I know uses the book drop. Many Mercer Islanders of all ages would find it very inconvenient or even impos-sible to use the library without a book drop.

To Islanders: Please contact our city Council if you agree. This is our library and should meet our needs.

Erroneous info in letter about Islander, library user

I am writing to correct erroneous information that was written about me in a Letter to the Editor last week. In a letter writ-ten by Lori Robertson about the Mercer Island Library remodel, she writes “Ms. Lindstrom uses the library as a place of business for tutoring so her opinions are primarily based upon her needs to work with her clients.” I am retired and tutor because I enjoy it and there is a shortage of tutors for upper-level math, but I tutor the majority of my students in my home. I tutor at the library only at the request of some students who come straight from school and prefer it to coming to the South-end of the Island. Mercer Island is my commu-nity and has been for most of my life. I first moved onto Mercer island as a small child in 1951, grew up here,

graduated from Mercer Island High School, went away to college and later returned with my husband to teach at the high school and to raise my chil-dren. I am also in charge of one of the Mercer Island Women’s Club’s book groups so certainly have many per-

sonal experiences with the library unrelated to my tutoring. To say that my opinions are primarily based upon my needs with clients is ridiculous.

I was on the City Council Library

remodel committee, and I have writ-ten a four-page document (originally intended just for myself) to organize information about the issues and the process the City Council Library Committee went through to get to where we are now. In it I also express my own personal opinions about each of the different topics (meeting room, children’s area, costs, etc.). Many of my opinions and perceptions of what has been accomplished are different from

Lori Robertson’s. I am happy to share that document with whomever wishes to contact me.

Sandra Lindstrom

Capacity issues at Park and Ride lot

I was searching on the last time the Reporter did an article on the Park-and-Ride for Mercer Island. It’s a disaster that there is no parking for Island residents at the Park-and-Ride. It is consistently full and as early as 7:30 a.m., making it impossible for individ-uals who live on the Island to even get their kids to school and then commute in on mass transit. Something needs to change.

Editor’s note: the Mercer Island Reporter has published ten stories since Jan. 1, regarding the Mercer Island Park-and-Ride and capacity issues.

ruling, public records show that the facility had a long history of com-plaints. It received four stars for staffing, two for quality measures and just one on its health inspec-tion.

A March 4 health inspection revealed that two of three residents sam-pled had pressure ulcers, or bedsores, injuries to the skin and surrounding tissue that are often the result of long periods of inactivity. One of the two, who was admitted with back pain but no skin breakdown at the time was not transferred to a pressure reducing mat-tress despite complaints of numbness around his tailbone and a request for a new bed. In an interview with the acting director of nursing on the same date, she acknowledged his care plan hadn’t been updated following the discovery of his ulcer.

Similarly, a second patient was found lying in his own stool with a partially open dressing on his left buttock and his feet not elevated, despite a medical note that he was

at risk for bedsores on his heels.

Bags of dirty linens and hazardous waste were found on a back porch, unlabeled dur-ing a February 5 inves-tigation. That same date, 31 voice messages from as far back as December 2013 were retrieved on the office phone includ-ing calls from family members, debt collectors, pharmacies and hospi-tals. Patients’ families and vendors often complained that it was difficult to get a hold of staff there, even in times of emergency.

On February 25, just three weeks later, an anonymous staff member reported that no food had been delivered because of an unpaid bill, leaving all 79 residents without a meal. When interviewed further, staff said there were no fresh fruits or vegetables in the facility.

“[Staff] stated they had some potatoes but had used the last onion the day before,” reads the health inspection.

They regularly reported not being able to meet menu requirements, instead serving smaller

portions, frozen leftovers and otherwise adjusting meal plans. Questioned about the shortage, an administrator said it was the first time she’d heard about it and that she assumed the dietary manager would have enough back up in case of an emergency. On several occasions staff members said they had to charge supplies to their own credit cards.

W a t e r , sewer, trash p i c k - u p , e l e c t r i c i t y, even phone services were at threat of being dis-c o n t i n u e d . The center had bills of as much as $12,420 owed to one linen vendor, balances of $21,537 for Puget Sound Energy and $16,311 owed to the city’s Water and Sewer services at one point. The financial troubles appear to be an issue throughout Videll Healthcare. In a phone call made May 12, Videll owed a combined balance of $280,000 to Medline. Because of the accumu-

lated debt, the company would not fill MI Care and Rehab’s full order, including basic necessi-ties like zinc oxide for wound treatment and insulin syringes.

Further interviews con-ducted by DSHS clarified that all bills were pro-cessed through the cen-ter’s corporate offices and that the facility operated on a tight margin because Medicare and Medicaid were slow to pay.

But DSHS had deliv-ered several warnings. If amendments are not made

by June 22, the c e n t e r ’ s Medicare a n d Medicaid contracts will be t e r m i -nated. MI Care and Rehab has the right to request an admin-i s t r a t i v e h e a r i n g and an

informal dispute resolu-tion meeting to contest the revocation of its license and emergency closure. A representative of Videll could not be reached for comment.

Zuber noted that an unexpected move like this, for disabled patients or elderly, is especially devastating.

With the closure of MI Care and Rehab, the city now has nine options for senior housing with vary-ing degrees of care and beds available. Covenant Shores and Aljoya offer

skilled nursing, assisted living and independent apartments. Sunrise Senior Living and Island House operate as retire-ment homes and assisted living facilities. Twilight, Nov, Mercer Island Premier and Seasons of Life are adult family homes, residential long-term care facilities that house up to six residents. Finally there is Ellsworth, section 8 housing for seniors 62 and older.

“We have reached out to them to see if we can be of help,” said Bruce Erickson, executive direc-tor of Covenant Shores. “We’re actually very full right now. So I don’t know whether we would be able to take someone…But we will be helpful and sup-portive in any way we can. That’s a tremendous chal-lenge for them to try to get 74 people into other facilities.”

TRANSIT | FROM 2

fewer buses to meet exist-ing transit needs.

Though the alterations wouldn’t add more daily buses to the road, they would make for busier peak hours. Now, most of that traffic is spread throughout the day.

A study conducted by Metro, Sound Transit and the city, looked at eight intersections in and around the Park-and-Ride. The “performance” of intersec-tions is rated on a scale of “A” through “F,” “C” or better being the standard for Mercer Island. A rating of “E” or better is stan-dard for the state. Under future projections, seven intersections meet that city standard, except for North Mercer Way and 80th Ave S.E., the HOV on and off ramps for I-90. That par-ticular location has a pro-jected rating of “E” when traffic flows are altered to take East Link into account. Billen notes that’s permissa-ble under state averages but below average for the city.

“We’re trying to under-stand the implications of this so we can appreci-ate what impacts would be on our citizens,” said Mayor Bruce Bassett before Monday’s meeting.

Martha Humphreys Davenport

Martha Humphreys Davenport died suddenly and peacefully on June 9, 2014, in her home on Mercer Island. She was 81.

Martha Garretson Humphreys was born August 10, 1932, to Maidion and Irving Humphreys of Lawrence, Massachusetts. Her earliest and happiest memories were of playing and swimming on the beaches of New England and she never lost her love of the ocean. She attended the all-girls Episcopal boarding school, St. Mary’s in the Mountains in Bethlehem, New Hampshire, where she enjoyed skiing and where she got the nickname “Gary” as a freshman (a popular senior had reserved the name Martha).

In 1950, while returning from France on a Greek Line steamship, she met another seasick exchange student, Franklyn J. Davenport, who struck up a conversation with her about L. Frank Baum’s Oz books. They were married in Stonington, Connecticut, in 1953. Martha moved with Frank, who became an aerospace engineer, to Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, and �nally Mercer Island. They had two children, Ann Garretson Davenport and Robert Dalgleish Davenport. Martha and Frank divorced in 1977. Later, Martha met Stephen Graef, a soul mate who enriched the last 13 years of her life with their long talks and adventures throughout the Paci�c Northwest.

Martha earned a secretarial certi�cate from Katherine Gibbs School in 1952, a B.A. in English from the University of Pennsylvania in 1966, an M.A. in English from the University of Washington in 1973, and an M.Ed. from Antioch University in 1991. Martha devoted her life to the teaching of English and was grading papers the night before she died. She held positions at The Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania, Seattle Central Community College, and, for more than 30 years, Olympic College in Bremerton. As she wrote recently in an autobiography for her students, “Teaching writing is still exciting to me, not so much as a way to make students ‘do it right,’ but because I have learned over these years that writing develops our thinking. As the poet Robert Frost said, ‘to learn to write is to learn to have ideas.’”

Martha inherited a lifelong love of traditional church music from her grandfather, Walter Dalglish, a choirmaster, and she sang in the choir of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, where she met many of her closest friends. She is remembered as a kind, sel�ess, and generous woman who supported anyone in need.

Martha is survived by her companion, Stephen; her daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Greg Barry; her son and daughter-in-law, Robert Davenport and Sonya Sobieski; and by her granddaughters, Andrea Clare Barry, Laura Renée Barry, and Skyler Irina Davenport.

A memorial for Martha was held on Saturday at Emmanuel Episcopal Church and her ashes are interred at the Memorial

Garden there.1076260

Richard Newcomb Crawford Born: 1-12-28 – Died: 6-6-14

Dick was born on 12 January 1928 in Rye, New York. He attended Loomis School in Windsor, Connecticut and graduated from Severn School in Severna Park, Maryland. He enlisted in the Navy in 1946 and then attended the Naval Academy Preparatory School. He was appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland and graduated with the Class of 1951.

Following graduation, he was assigned to USS Pittsburg (CA 72), a heavy cruiser. In 1954 he was selected for postgraduate training at Webb Institute of Naval Architecture where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Marine Engineering and concurrent Master’s degree in Naval Architecture. He then attended Submarine School in New London CN.

He married the former Barbara Ann Romano of Glen Cove, New York, whom he met while at Webb Institute. They were married on April 19, 1958 at Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii.

He served aboard many submarines: USS Stickleback (SS 415), USS Tang (SS 563) USS Remora (SS 487) and USS Char (SS 328). He served in USS Tripoli (LPH 10) in Vietnam.

Service with O�ce of Naval Research and Development and Training Center rounded out his Navy career. He retired from active duty in September 1970. Dick joined Lockheed Shipbuilding Company in Seattle in 1972 until 1986 when the shipyard closed. He then joined Sundstrand Corporation as an internal auditor. He subsequently retired from that �rm when the corporation was acquired by United Technologies. He then served as a consultant to Marine Spill Response Corporation through 2000. He did volunteer work in tax preparation and computer skills for senior citizens.

He is survived by his wife of more than 56 years, Barbara, daughters Laura Crawford of Mukilteo, WA, Maureen Nikaido (Michio) of Pleasanton, CA, Claudia Kilbreath (Ken) of Bellevue, WA and Annmarie Lyons (Michael) of Cincinnati, OH and �ve grandchildren, Mallory and Ethan Kilbreath and Andrew, Sarah and Matthew Lyons.

Dick was a resident of Mercer Island. Dick loved travelling, reading, sports, bicycling, opera, dancing, the symphony, and attending his children and grandchildren’s events. He had a keen intellect, a love of learning, and a great sense of humor – always giving the perfect toast on family occasions. Dick was an o�cer and a gentleman – a beloved husband, father, and grandfather who we will all miss dearly.

HIRE A WORKERmillionairclub.org 206-728 JOBS (5627)

By Mary L. [email protected]

Just over 100 people gathered on Thursday in Bellevue to hear about how the new minimum wage law passed in the city of Seattle might affect employers on the Eastside.

Entitled, “Toward a Livable WAge: Implication for businesss, community and non-profits,” the event was held at the Bellevue Red Lion hotel, which also co-sponsored the event.

Paul Winterstein, the president of the Issaquah City Council and chair of the Eastside Human Services Forum welcomed the group by noting that everyone in attendance was there because they "care about the welfare of oth-ers." Yet, as the meeting progressed, it was obvious that many were there who were also concerned about the impact of the new law on their businesses or non-profit budgets.

"The whole notion of a higher minimum wage leaves us conflicted," Winterstien said. On one hand we want others to have

what they need to live and get ahead. On the other, we are all consumers and want our goods and services to remain affordable."

While the minimum wage has changed often and even recently, Winterstein said, the changes made in Seattle are different.

"What is unique about Seattle's law is how big the changes are."

Speaker Lori Pfingst, of the Washington state Public Budget and Policy Center, is an economist and research-er who has been looking it inequality across the board in our state.

She said not only is income inequality harmful to individuals but it stymies economic growth. Wage policy is just one part of the strategy, she said, point-ing to state budget policies and tax reform. A move to improve wages is a way to “restore the middle class.”

The impact of a higher minimum wage in Seattle may cause employees to leave lower paying jobs on the Eastside for higher wages in the city. Next, as

employers adjust, the lure of higher pay for entry-level jobs will crowd out younger, inexperienced or disadvan-taged employees. Finally the effect of wage compression means that the higher lower salaries will mean more experienced and higher-lev-el employees will be expect-ed to be paid more.

A panel of four spoke regarding the possible impacts on their organi-zations. They included businessman and former Issaquah City Councilman Mark Mullet of Issaquah who is serving his first term as a state Senator repre-senting the 5th district. A former international bank-ing professional, he owns a Ben and Jerry franchise and Zeeks Pizza in Issaquah. He noted that he made $3.35 an hour at his first job.

He observed that for the Eastside, having Seattle go first on this issue is an advantage. "Let Seattle do it. The Eastside can take a pause and watch and see how it will go,” he said.

Yet as an employer he has concerns.

Having such a wide dif-

ferential between wages both across the county and within his group of employ-ees, will affect who he will hire and how much he will pay them.

"I will have to decide what I am willing to pay my work-ers so that I can keep them,” he said. “At this point, I do not even want to guess what that might be.”

J a s m i n e Donovan of Dick's Drive-In, worried that a $15 m i n i m u m wage will hurt youth and dis-a d v a n t a g e d workers who will be pushed out by others perhaps more qualified or experienced.

The higher wage will bring workers to Seattle and crowd out disadvantaged or inexperienced workers, she said.

"Our wage now is for entry workers. Our jobs give them a start," she said. "It is not meant to be sustainable."

As for the impact on human services and their employees of a higher mini-mum wage, those increases will come out of a fixed bud-get that is set by funding agencies such as the federal government.

Sylvia Fuerstenberg, the

executive director of the ARC of King County said that if we pay more for wages, then other items such as benefits for those workers might be cut or our ser-vices changed. "The amount of money we are allocated will not automatically be increased to meet a higher payroll, she said.

"We pay wages set by state f u n d i n g and grants.

"If we pay more for wages we have to cut into other piec-es of the pie," she said. "The pie itself

stays the same."As for the state finding

more funding for social ser-vices, Sen. Mullet pointed out that the constitutional implications for education funding trumps all other budget needs at this point."

“Because of the McCleary decision, it is all about edu-cation funding," he said. "There is not much room for anything else."

At the end of the session, the panelists summarized their main concerns regard-ing Seattle's law.

Fuerstenberg believes that the wage initiative should

be a regional proposal, not addressed city by city. It seems rushed and confused, she said. There are many implications of this law that were not addressed.

Mullet said he does not support the adoption of the Seattle law for the Eastside. "We need a regional or state minimum wage," he said. "In that way we can give it to the people who need that first job."

Several audience mem-bers asked questions that panelists struggled to answer.

One woman asked how her low-income clients who pay for home services will be able to pay if worker's wages have to be increased.

Another asked how he would manage when the higher minimum wage would cause wage compres-sion at his small manufac-turing business. "If new or entry workers make $15 then experienced or skilled workers would need to be paid more, he said.

All agreed that the new law and its effect of raising minimum wage is a good thing to do — for individu-als and eventually for the economy. But they worried it was clumsy and imperfect.

"It is a blunt instrument to accomplish a difficult mis-sion,” said one panelist.

How will Seattle’s minimum wage law affect the Eastside?

“Let Seattle do it. The Eastside can take a pause and watch and see how it will go.”

Mark Mullet, Senator

One student is heading to Central Washington University in Ellensburg. Eighteen other graduates are headed to Pullman to attend Washington State University and six to Gonzaga University in Spokane. One student will attend the University

of British Columbia and another to the Royal College of Music in London.

Seven students will head down I-5 to Oregon to attend four schools there, including four Islander grads who have enrolled at Willamette University

Sixty students are enrolled in 21 colleg-es in California with 11 at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Calif., and six at University of Southern California. Across other western states, two will attend school in Idaho, three in Montana, one to Wyoming, two each to Utah and Arizona and six in Colorado. In the Central plains, one student each will attend school in Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, Missouri, two each in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and three in Illinois. Further south, five students are headed to Texas, and one each to Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana and Alabama. Two grads are headed to Tennessee, Three to Georgia one to Florida and one to North Carolina.

Forty-two students are set to go to colleges in the Northeast United States in the 11 states and the District of Columbia between Maine and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Of those, seven will attend school in New York, and nine in Massachusetts.

One student will attend the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Five students are taking a “gap year,” and five are enrolled in Mercer Island High School's transition pro-gram.

A day at the races: elementary students compete at All-Island Track meet


When it happened, Sam Lindquist was busy with his Stanford Cardinal base-ball team, as Stanford was amidst a tight super region-al matchup with Vanderbilt in the NCAA tournament. The last thing on his mind was the 2014 Major League Baseball draft.

“I had just gotten off the bus after we won with a walk-off home run in the bottom of ninth,” he recalled. “I got on bus, and all of sudden my teammates around me started yelling and cheering. My team-mates knew before I did.”

Not a bad way for the Mercer Island native to find out he’d been drafted by the hometown Seattle Mariners in the 37th round of the MLB draft. A 6-6 right handed pitcher, Lindquist went 2-0 this season for Stanford, making 15 appear-ances out of the bullpen. He boasted a 2.81 ERA and a team-best .169 opposing batting average. The season before, Lindquist posted team highs in saves and appearances while opposing batters only managed to hit .195 against him.

Growing up on Mercer Island, Lindquist said he fell in love with baseball play-ing catch with his dad in his front yard, while learn-ing the game of baseball by watching Mariners games. He was involved in youth

baseball and football, even-tually attending high school at Eastside Catholic to play football, citing being won over by the Crusaders’ foot-ball coach at the time.

With his team still com-peting in the NCAA tour-nament before ultimately falling in three games to Vanderbilt, Lindquist said he tried to keep his mind off of the draft. He went through the draft process last year as well, and had an opportunity to go higher in last year’s draft. But working on a double major in human biology and psychology, Lindquist wanted to come back to finish his degree, a decision he’s happy he made. Though he admitted he expected to do more on the field this year.

“I definitely had higher expectations of myself for the season this year,” he said. “Last year, I led the team in appearances and saves and opponent batting average. I had a lot of success and expected a lot more. As a whole, it didn’t pan out exactly how I wanted it to, but I believe things work out as they do. In the ends, it’s what I wanted it to be, I had so much fun.”

Lindquist said one of the strengths he’s developed has been learning how to fail, saying baseball is unique in the fact that it’s a game that’s set up for failure.

Fourth and fifth graders from all over Mercer Island raced, threw, leapt and cheered their hearts out as elementary students from Island Park, Lakeridge, St. Monica’s and West Mercer competed in the 44th annu-al All-Island Track meet Friday, June 13 at Mercer Island High School.

Braving the rain at Islander Stadium, hundreds of fourth and fifth graders

competed in events includ-ing races, the softball throw, shot put, long jump and the 4x100 relay race.

While event results were still being compiled at the Reporter deadline, West Mercer was announced the winner with the high-est team score at this year’s meet. Lakeridge took home the Spirit Award, Island Park boasted the loudest fans and St. Monica’s earned the award for sportsman-ship.

“Imagine you’re a Hall of Fame hitter, batting .300. That means you’re failing seven out of ten times,” he said. “You’re going to fail, but by learning how to fail, I’ve fostered a deep love of the game, knowing it’s hard and tough and loving it anyway. Despite the ups and downs, I have a passion and love for the game. It’s nice going forward know-ing that there’s nothing I’ll get tired of from the expe-rience. I have so much to

learn from game.” Having a Mariner draftee

in its household is the lat-est accomplishment from a family that seems to churn out athletes. While Lindquist’s parents didn’t play sports past high school, younger brother Jeff was an All-American quarterback for the Islanders and will be a junior quarterback for the Washington Huskies this upcoming season. Younger sister Sara helped lead Mercer Island volley-ball to its first state title in 2013 and will play volley-

ball at Dartmouth this fall. “My brother Jeff and I joke that we’re lucky [Sara] is the youngest because if she was the oldest, we’d be living in her shadow,” Lindquist quipped.

“We were blessed to have parents who encouraged us to do what we love and to do it because we wanted to do it. We never felt pres-sure to play a sport and we didn’t feel like we were doing it for our parents. We were doing it for ourselves. I think that was key in driv-ing us toward our success.”

Free child car seat check-up events coming up

Child safety seats can save lives, but they need to be used properly to be effective. To support par-ents and caregivers in fitting their children securely in car seats, both Children's Hospital in Seattle and Public Health - Seattle and King County often hold free safety seat events.

At these first-come, first- served events, child pas-senger safety experts will check your child in a car seat, booster seat or seat belt and answer any ques-tions you may have. New and expecting parents are welcome. Learn what type of safety seat or seat belt best fits your child; how to properly install your child's safety seat into your car; and how to secure your child in the safety seat or seatbelt.

The events are free.

• Classes at Children's this summer are from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 21 and Saturday, Aug. 23, at Seattle Children's Main Campus, in the Ocean Parking Garage, 4800 Sand Point Way N.E,

Seattle. For information go to www.seattlechildrens.org/

• For Public Health, there are two check up events set between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday, July 18, at the Shoreline Family Support Center; 17018 15th Ave N.E, Shoreline and between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Friday, Aug. 15, at the Matt Griffin YMCA; 3595 S. 188th in SeaTac. Find out more at w w w. k i n g c o u n t y. g o v /health.org.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping children up to two years old in rear facing seats or until they have reached the maximum height and weight limits of the car seat as allowed by the seat man-ufacturer.

Child safety seats reduce fatal injury by 71 percent for infants younger than one year old and by 54 percent for toddlers in passenger cars, according to national research. Among children four to eight years old, child safety seats reduce the risk for serious injury by 45 per-cent when compared with seat belt use alone.

The dynamics of family are never dull. They take twists and turns throughout life, invigorating, frustrat-ing, necessary and always there. Families build patterns of behavior that at times work well and other times not so much. And of course there are as many perspec-tives about the family dynamic as there are family members. And they are just hard to cope with some times.

One such dilemma that individual family members seek help on is when their older parents are still helping their adult child who is oftentimes over 50. Especially financially. As a parent, it is your job to help nurture and help your child as they are grow-ing up. But when does that end? For some children, it may never. And if this is a pattern that has been enabled, how do you stop?

The answer is “it depends.” For some families, even into adulthood, parents have supported their adult kids. They may have started to help

the adult child because of develop-mental or physical disabilities, mental illness, chemical dependency issues or loss of employment. Adults get to make their own decisions on how they help their adult children. The problem comes when the parent now needs help and can no longer make decisions for themselves or their adult child. Then who takes on the responsibility for them? Culturally it is assumed that the other family members will jump in and help. But that does not always work and can be complicated with

the family history.So what to do? There

is an assumption that once you reach adult-hood, you slowly wean yourself off of your parent’s financial and social support, starting your own life and moving forward. But there are adults out there that can’t or won’t. Never mind why. For parents, there is no right or wrong way to help adult children. What really matters is that they don’t make the situation worse and leave a mess when they can no longer do it. Some parents plan to help an adult child by including it in their estate planning or pull in supports from different entities that can help

the adult child when the parents are gone. Or even have discussion with the other siblings of whom if any will be there to continue the help.

I have seen many families struggle through this and often times have difficulty on what to do next. The biggest difficulty arises when, for example, mom has been helping her son both financially and socially for 30+ years then can no longer do it for health or financial reasons, and the son now needs an income and hous-ing quickly. And most likely there

has been family resent-ment building that makes it hard to prob-lem solve this without strong emotions.

At this stage, get-ting help to find out what resources are out there, and mak-ing sure your parent’s wishes are honored is very helpful. It may be someone like me from Mercer Island Youth

and Family Services, a lawyer, a finan-cial professional or clergy. And clear communication will help create a plan for the best outcome possible.

God remains our source

of courage when we're traumatized by terror, when we're haunted by the headlines and the violence everywhere. God can feel the pain of suffering when our hearts leak like a sieve, when collegians in their classroom are denied their right to live.

When I jour-naled those words after the tragic shooting at Virginia Tech seven years ago, it never occurred to me that my journal entry would apply to my own alma mater. As details emerged about the tragedy at Seattle Pacific University, I recalled what I had previously penned. I also fixated on the loca-tion of the violence, the

Otto Miller Science and Engineering Building. And for good cause.

As I prepared to gradu-ate from SPU forty years ago this month, I was asked to serve as the student chairman for a

major gifts campaign to purchase a large industrial building adjacent to Royal Brougham Pavilion on lower cam-pus. When pledges were made

and funds received, the Arc-Weld manufacturing building would become our school’s new Science Learning Center. The blueprint for the repur-posed building promised future students state-of-the-art technologies and opportunities to pursue

an education that honored both faith and scientific findings.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony that celebrated the redemption of an old warehouse was truly memorable. It was also symbolic. The reclamation of a building pictured the purpose of this Christian liberal arts institution. And the complex that

would eventually be renamed Otto Miller Hall lived up to its expecta-tions.

Now, however, those joyful memories have been replaced by thoughts of a deranged shooter who killed a freshman student, injured others and wounded the soul of a university community.

Gratefully that familiar building also conjures up images of a courageous student who disarmed the

gunman and -- putting his own life at risk -- saved countless other lives.

Simply said, what I choose to focus on will determine my awareness of God’s presence. The rest of my years-old jour-nal entry calls to mind the choice with which we are faced when blindsided by tragic circumstances.

God invites us to be trusting when we find that faith is hard. When we're fearful for our safety and

our nerves are frayed or jarred. Still God whispers in the silence, "Even when your faith is weak, I will keep your feet from stum-bling when your way is dark and bleak."

chaplain at the Covenant Shores Retirement

Community on Mercer Island.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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