Getting to school on kid-power

What does a brawling wind-storm, a football game and a shy high school student have in com-mon?

On Columbus Day, Oct. 12, 1962, a storm with winds up to 100 mph wreaked havoc on the Puget Sound region in what the National Weather Service later designated as Washington’s worst weather disaster of the 20th centu-ry. More than 50 people were killed between Vancouver, B.C., and San Francisco, nine in Washington.

As the huge storm hit the Seattle area, the Mercer Island football team was suited up at Islander Stadium, ready to take the field to meet archrival Bellevue for the Homecoming game. At the same time, the dangerous storm that began as Typhoon Freda in the South Pacific Ocean was bearing down on Seattle and the Eastside.

Hours earlier, the storm had moved onto land in California where high winds halted the sixth game of the World Series at Candlestick Park. Power lines and giant redwood trees were reported to have been toppled from the force of the winds.

According to weather service reports, winds at over 100 mph then moved into Oregon. The storm struck Portland, tearing off roofs, toppling trees and destroy-

ing buildings with “the fury of nearly a Category 3 hurricane.”

As it blew north, wind gusts were measured up to 92 miles per hour in Vancouver, Wash., and over 100 miles per hour out on the Washington coast. In Longview, the city’s civic center collapsed.

A HistoryLink.org essay describes what followed: the center of the storm hit Seattle at around 7 p.m. The power went out at Sea-Tac Airport. On Highway 99, billboards lay broken and trees lay in the road. Ferry runs were cancelled.

At the Seattle World’s Fair, fair officials closed the Coliseum at 7:30 p.m., worried that the glass windows might blow out.

Communities east of Lake Washington, including Mercer Island, were soon plunged into darkness. In Issaquah, the roof was torn off of the grandstand at the city’s Memorial Stadium.

At Islander Stadium, the game had begun. But just two plays after

Over the next five City Council meetings, culminating in a final vote on Dec. 3, the Mercer Island City Council will deliberate how to fashion a $25 million balanced city budget for the next two years.

Under Washington state law and standard city practice, the city manager is to deliver a balanced budget to the City Council every two years.

As in recent years, the real work will be in finding ways to cut expenses in light of declining tax and fee revenues.

Preliminary figures indicate that without those cuts, the city will be short by more than $1 mil-lion each year.

The 2012-2013 budget message, prepared by City Finance Director Chip Corder, states that “much of

2012-2013 city budget cycle is underway

Friday is the 50th anniversary of the Columbus Day Storm

By Rebecca [email protected]

A vehicle rolled over at the top of the Gallagher Hill ravine and became wedged against a tree at approximately 4:10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 5. A passerby driving down Gallagher Hill Road reported the overturned vehicle, a Subaru Outback, to 911.

Mercer Island police and fire responded to the accident, along with other aid units, including the Bellevue Fire Department. The driver and passen-ger, the only two occu-pants of the vehicle, were transported with injuries to Overlake Hospital after

being removed from the vehicle. The passenger, 65, sustained head lacera-tions, but there were no life-threatening injuries, according to the Mercer Island Police Department.

The driver, 44, told

police that he was travel-ing southbound up the hill when an oncoming vehi-cle crossed into his lane. The driver then swerved and the vehicle went off the road, rolled eight feet down the embankment

and landed between a tree and a retaining wall.

Traffic was blocked on Gallagher Hill for an esti-mated 40 minutes.

The cause of the acci-dent remains under inves-tigation.

Multiple Listing Service’s monthly report indicates that the number of high-end Island homes and condos listed for sale has slowed. At the same time, prices for homes that sold here in September rose dra-matically.

The number of Island homes and condos whose sales were pending at the end of September totaled 41, up by more than a third over the same month a year ago. The number of home sales completed was 32 last month, with 27 sales final-ized in September of 2011.

The median price of all homes and condos sold last month jumped nearly 36 percent over a year ago, to $985,000, a jump likely influenced by a change in the mix of condos sold ver-sus single family homes that sold during the month.

Across the Eastside, more than 844 homes and condos sold in September, up from 703 a year ago. In all of King County last month, 2,300 homes and condos sold, up 300 from a year ago. The

median price for all Eastside homes that sold bumped up 3.4 percent over homes and condos sold a year ago. The median closed sales price in September for Mercer Island was the highest of all 29 map areas in King County.

Presently, there are 117 single family and condo-minium homes on the mar-ket in Mercer Island, — up very slightly from 110 avail-able on the Island in August, but less than the 135 homes offered for sale in September a year ago.

Of the single family homes listed for sale, there are 10 homes listed at $5 million and above, with a handful of very high-end homes either sold or appar-ently taken off the market, including the multimil-lion lakeside mansion on Boulevard Place.

There are also two dozen or so homes offered for sale between $2 million and $5 million; almost three dozen listed between $1 and $2 million; and more than 30 under $1 million. There are no single family Island homes listed for sale for less than $500,000.

There are 11 condos on the market offered at prices ranging from $152,000 to $925,000.

Island home prices rebound in September

the focus will be on revenue and expenditure trends and on how the projected 2012-2014 budget deficits were bridged.”

In other words, the city’s financial staff had to look at ways to keep service lev-els high by finding ways to make cuts and shift funds to make up for deficits.

“The proposed budget relies on a mix of non-service reduction, small reductions in selected dis-cretionary services, con-tinued constrains on staff salary increases as well as (implementing) the option-al one percent property tax increase.”

Across the board, tax and other sources of city rev-enue have declined. Those sources include sales tax revenues.

The council’s goal is to see where changes can be made to keep costs down while keeping service stan-dards high.

Service reductions will be vetted by weighing six fac-

tors:• Slow spending where

possible on general fund services supported by taxes.

• Avoid services reduc-tions that come from fee revenue or grants already in place.

• Apply the adopted pri-orities of government to prioritize cuts or spending.

• Determine whether a service is mandatory, essen-tial or discretionary.

• Look at the biennial citizen survey to get further input on how a particular service is viewed.

• Demonstrate savings before adding any fur-ther need for tax revenue increases.

Key items that will influ-ence the budget outcome are employees’ wages and benefits that now represent one of the largest pieces of the city budget. To that end, city staff and the Council had come up with alterna-tives to control employee benefit costs as well as limit-ing staff.

The city plans to make or add the equivalent of four new FTE employees. Some of those are already part-time or contract employ-ees. At the same time, the analysis calls for reducing the number of FTE by the equivalent of more than 10 employees.

Changes are also pro-posed for Youth and Family Services, the level of servic-es at some parks and public spaces, and public programs such as the fireworks and

art programs similar to the last budget cycle.

New revenue could come from implementing the city’s discretionary ability to implement a 1 percent tax on residents and/or increas-ing rates charged for utili-ties such as water, sewer, stormwater and emergency medical services (EMS).

At present, the combined utility rates paid by Islanders are significantly less than the average paid for by all King County jurisdictions.

kickoff, the game was stopped. It was too danger-ous to continue. Halftime festivities with the pre-sentation of Homecoming royalty and the crowning of the queen, Miss Alyce Toda, were postponed.

Yet Toda, now Alyce Arai, said that she was not sorry that half-time had been c a n c e l l e d . Reached by t e l e p h o n e last week at her home in Seattle, she said she was relieved. She had been dreading the moment.

“I felt I was getting an honor I didn’t deserve,” she said. “I felt awful.”

“I am Japanese,” she explained. “My sister and I were the only Japanese or

non-white people in Island schools.”

When she and her family found a home on the Island

a few years earlier, the realtor said he could not sell them the house until he had asked neighbors if it was alright with them.

Both of Arai’s par-ents had been in Japanese i n t e r n m e n t camps during World War II. Even as late as 1962, Japanese were still shunned.

“I was very shy and always felt odd,” she said. “When I was a freshman, I only looked at the floor.”

But she was not left out. A check of the Mercer Island High School Class of 1963 yearbook confirms

that she was involved in many activities, includ-ing French Club, Spanish Club, Student Cabinet, Pep Club and Service Club, the yearbook staff and more. She even had a nickname, “Acey.”

“The kids were extremely nice and accepted me,” she said. “They elected me to other things that I did not earn, like the drill team.”

Of the abbreviated Homecoming game, she recalled the flowers she held and the wind. “Oh, that wind blew,” she remembered.

The Homecoming dance was held on Saturday night, where the Homecoming royalty and their queen were finally crowned.

The game against Bellevue had been finished that afternoon. To add insult to injury, Bellevue won the game, 7 to 6.

As for Queen Alyce, she put her shyness behind her, perhaps inspired by her old classmates.

“The kids at the school showed a lot of heart and compassion,” she said. “I will always remember that.”

EYE ON mI | LiFe in aRt

A rational approach to gay marriage?

I am truly pleased to personally know a number of gay citizens rather well, and I definitely appreciate every one of them.

Nevertheless, is anyone really taking a truly rational approach toward the issue of gay marriage?

For example, gay marriage advocates say that it is the “right” of any two con-senting adults to wed, but have people really thought of all that this implies?

If a brother and a sister wish to marry, is this OK? Most people supporting gay marriage would say “no,” but what is the difference here that allows marriage in one case but not in the other?

Couples in both groups may be “committed,” they may love each other, and they may not be planning children.

Along the same line, if the man-woman com-ponent of the traditional definition of marriage is to be abandoned, what is the rationale for keeping the “one” component in the same definition? What prevents three people of any sexual combination from joining together and calling it “marriage”? Or four people or five? Absurd, you say? Wrong! This is a live issue, and in Brazil recently, two trios and a separate set of five sought marriage (CNN web news, Aug. 31, 2012).

People supporting gay marriage need to realize that in discarding the one man-one woman definition of marriage, they are also discarding any reasonable rationale for prohibiting incestuous and polyamorous unions.

To say that all of these unions should

be labeled as “marriage” is equally unac-ceptable as it reduces the term to mean-inglessness.

Finally, everyone knows that the first use of the term “marriage” goes back to Genesis, where it unquestionably refers to an enduring relationship between one man and one woman.

What is the evidence that God’s mind on this matter has changed?

Carl Dodrill

Vote yes for south fire station funding

I have been a property owner in the Groveland Park area since 1971. As Assistant Planning Director for the City of Mercer Island, I worked on the

city’s Comprehensive Plan in 1968 and updates in the early 1970s as well as Capital Facilities Plans. I know firsthand the importance of upgrading fire station equipment and facilities upon which the response person-nel depend today. An upgraded fire station was discussed in the city’s Comprehensive Plans/Capital Facilities Plan in

the mid 1970s — this issue is not new to the Island.

Since 1982, I served as a Precinct Committee Member in the Groveland neighborhood, talking to many of my neighbors on issues of trail access, West Mercer access and safety during emer-gency situations such as the President’s Day storm of five to six years ago.

During that storm, portions of West Mercer Way were closed for four to eight days because of no access due to large fallen trees, downed power lines, etc. West Mercer Way, an important

corridor, has no east-west access south of 44th (Merrimount) except the narrow lane at S.E. 47th until S.E. 68th/72nd. This stretch of road is one of the most inaccessible areas during heavy storms. We can go for days without power or emergency vehicle access. Also hazard-ous are small lanes/roads/streets east and west of West Mercer Way, making access to the elderly population with health issues and families with small children paramount.

For these reasons, I encourage you to support this funding and community improvement. I am very reluctant to vote for new taxes, but this is essential — and I believe, a cost-effective pro-posal.

Board needs to sort out options, not voters

For years our state legislators have abdicated their leadership role and

tossed issues to the voters in referen-dum: “Here, you decide.” And now it’s happening right here, with our School Board.

We elected them as our representa-tives to guide, to set policy, to plan, to be fiduciary overseers, and to figure it out.

So now they are hiring a communica-tion contractor with our tax dollars to help explain to us five — yes, five! — ideas about which they can’t make up their alleged minds.

They want us to sort it out and settle it for them. Perhaps putting to us an either A or B choice would be respon-sible, but to put to we amateur school-futures-planners five complicated options that even your reporters cannot clearly explain is an irresponsible abdi-cation.

I say to them, do the job for which we elected you ... or resign.

Island retail sales flat in second quarter

By Reporter StaffStatewide, taxable retail

sales increased 4.7 percent to $26.8 billion during the second quarter of 2012, compared to the same peri-

od in 2011, the Washington state Department of Revenue reported on Oct. 5.

Retail trade increased 5.3 percent to $12.3 billion over the second quarter of 2011.

Retail trade is a subset of all taxable retail sales that includes retailers but excludes other industries,

such as services and con-struction. Taxable retail sales represent all sales for services and goods.

Statewide, construction was up 7 percent to $3.9 billion, motor vehicles and parts rose 12.9 percent to $2.9 billion, and general merchandise stores were up 2 percent to $2.4 billion.

In Mercer Island, tax-able retail sales increased just under 4w percent for the second quarter of 2012, over the same period a year ago, increasing from $71 million to $73.7 million.

Island retail trade-only sales were flat for the sec-ond quarter of this year, increasing just $14,000 over the $19,067,749 total in the second quarter of 2011.

Bellevue saw a notable increase in taxable retail sales and retail trade during the second quarter of 2012, compared with the same period in 2011.

Retail trade for Bellevue, including all taxable retail sales except industries such as services and construc-tion, went up by 13.7 per-cent, to $636 million — the highest percentage growth out of all of the state’s top five cities with the most sales, according to the Department of Revenue.

Retail sales were up 7.2 percent to $1.3 bil-lion, according to the Department of Revenue. The only other city — out of the state’s top five with a larger percentage increase — was Seattle, which went up by 10.3 percent to $4.3 billion.

By W. Clark PowellSpecial to the Reporter

Recently, an editorial in the Mercer Island Reporter suggested that public transit is a solution to Island traffic problems.

I agree with the Reporter on this point, but I don’t see the possibility of public tran-sit as a solution unless our civil servants and elected offi-cials start promoting public transit on the Island.

The City Council acknowl-edges public transit, but has done little to promote it on Mercer Island. While the city is s p e n d i n g heavily on a re-design of Island Crest Way, it is ignoring public transporta-tion as a way to make Island Crest Way safer. The Council should not overlook ways to get Islanders out of their cars into safe, professionally driven public buses.

As far as I know, only one Council member has ever taken the bus to work, so ideas for public transit enhance-ment may be limited. Given the limited time available to the Council persons, it might make the most sense for them to create a citizen commit-tee that provides them with recommendations for public transit improvement.

A neighborhood that self-ishly tries to get better bus service for itself is much more effective for the county

as a whole than one that doesn’t pay attention at all.

M e t r o and Sound Transit do provide bus service, but the philoso-phy of these

organizations is biased against Mercer Island. They have determined that bus rid-ership is mainly determined by the affordability of park-ing at the destination. They think that Mercer Island as

an affluent community can afford parking and thus is not a good candidate for bus service. (I have been told this directly by Metro.) As a result, we have token bus service as demonstrated by the empty, local shuttle buses one can see shunting around the Island. These bus routes with empty buses are provid-ed by Metro, but they are not adapted to Island commuters, and so they remain empty.

Contrary to Metro think-ing, Island commuters do have the potential to use pub-lic transit, but they demand convenience and speed while cost is not a major determi-nate.

Sound Transit is even less effective in providing public transit for Mercer Island.

The Eastlink Light Rail, for which the Island is losing the I-90 express lanes, will change nothing for any Islander who wants to use public transit. Any service that it will pro-vide is already offered by the 550 bus route, so if you’re not using it now, don’t expect anything to change in the future.

It doesn’t have to be this way, but until our elected officials pay attention and require that Metro and Sound Transit provide usable service for Mercer Island, we will have to settle for “back of the bus” service from those organizations.

W. Clark Powell is a long-time resident and former can-didate for City Council.

“While the Council is spending heavily on ICW, it ignores public transportation.”

Omega Photo moves to new location

By Reporter StaffLocally owned, long-

established camera busi-ness, Omega Photo, has reopened in its new loca-tion at 210 105th Ave. N.E.,

in downtown Bellevue. Omega’s owners were

sorry that their longtime customers were inconve-nienced by the move.

“It was unfortunate that we had to move so sudden-ly,” Larry Meece said. “We were put between a rock and a hard place with the

sudden need of our land-lord to have our space. Our options were limited.”

But their new location has advantages, he contin-ued.

“We are happy that our new location is within downtown Bellevue, with free parking, and is conve-nient to Safeway and other errands for our clientele. Our customers will enjoy our new retail neighbors such as New Dimensions Frame & Gallery next door and other longtime estab-lished, locally owned busi-nesses of Bellevue,” Meece said.

Omega Photo Specialists has been business in Bellevue since 1964.

BC parent ed program holding open house

The Bellevue College Parent Education program is holding two open house events on Mercer Island on Oct. 16 and 23.

Children don’t come with operating manuals — how, then, are parents to learn the essential skills and concepts they need to raise their chil-dren successfully?

For parents of children between 2 and 3 years of age, Mercer Island Toddlers is holding an open house on Oct. 16 and 23 at Redeemer Lutheran Church on Island Crest Way. It is a program of Bellevue College’s Parent Education Department. Come meet parents, teach-ers and instructors, and learn about the format and curricu-lum of one of the college’s par-ent-cooperative preschools.

BC’s preschools provide active learning experiences for parents and children in the development of creativity, literacy, math, science, physi-cal ability and social skills. The classes each focus on one of several distinct age lev-els, from infancy through 5 years of age, with curriculum designed specifically for each stage of development.

Parents learn in the pre-school classroom, right along with their children, as well as in small group discussions on discipline, nutrition, safety, family relationships, devel-

opment milestones and the physical, emotional and social needs of children.

For further information on parent education or to reg-ister for BC’s programs, par-ents may call (425) 564-2365, email [email protected] or [email protected], or go online at /bellevuecollege.edu/parented.

Community members needed for city boards

The Mercer Island City Council is seeking applicants to fill one position on the Senior Advisory Board and two positions on the Youth and Family Services Advisory Board.

The Senior Advisory Board was established in 2011 to advise the City of Mercer Island Department of Youth and Family Services and Parks and Recreation Department regarding pro-grams and services effecting seniors age 65 and older on Mercer Island. Regular meet-ings of the Senior Advisory Board are held at least quar-terly at a time and place deter-mined by the board. Monthly commitment by board mem-bers is approximately one to two hours a month, with the option of more hours on an ad hoc basis. Applicants must be legal residents of Mercer Island and at least 65 years of age. The term for the open position expires on May 31, 2014.

The Youth and Family Services Advisory Board was established in 1973 as an advisory board to the Mercer Island City Council on matters having to do with policy, programs, budget, public relations and fund-raising for Youth and Family Services. The board meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Members should be able to commit approximately three hours of time per month to Advisory Board functions. The board is seeking current ninth-grade students to be appointed to two positions that expire on May 31, 2014.

Additional information is online at www.mercergov.org/ccbindex.asp. An appli-cation may be requested by calling (206) 275-7795.

Every week, 100 Western Washington women

are diagnosed with breast cancer, which continues to be the second most fre-quently diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S., a� er skin cancer. We don’t yet know the exact causes of breast cancer, and many myths about breast cancer continue to exist. But probably the best way to prevent and survive a breast cancer diagnosis is to be informed.

All women are at risk for breast cancer. Although this disease is more common in women over the age of 40, younger women can and do get breast cancer as well. To reduce risk, here are some things you should know.• If you are over 40 years old, have

a mammogram. � e American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and Susan G. Komen all agree that women age 40 and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years. Early detection is the key to survival. � e � ve-year relative survival rate for breast cancer, when caught early, is 99 percent. When detected at the latest stage, the survival rate drops to 23 percent.

• Know what is normal for you. See your health provider right away if you notice a lump, swelling, changes in breast size or a new pain in one spot that does not go away.

Celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness MonthSome Things You Should Know about

Breast Cancer, and Some You Can Forget

Learn more at komenpugetsound.org

• Live a healthy lifestyle. Maintain a healthy weight. Add exercise to your routine. Limit your use of alcohol. Breastfeed, if you can. And, since we live in the Northwest, current studies point to maintaining a normal level of vitamin D as helpful.

However, if you fear that you might be at greater risk for breast

cancer because your mother or grandmother had the disease, you should know that most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Only � ve to 10 percent of breast cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations.

Other common misperceptions about breast cancer risk include underwire bras, abortion, plastics, deodorant use, breast implants, fertility drugs, hair dyes and trauma to the breast.

One more thing. If you fear a breast cancer diagnosis is a death sentence, let me tell you that is also not the case. Today, there are nearly 3 million breast cancer survivors living in the US. And I am one of them. If you have ever seen our Race for the Cure Survivor’s Parade, you would see many survivors living happy and full lives 30 years a� er their diagnosis or longer.

Above all, the best advice I can give is to ask you to take an active role in your own breast health. And if you are over 40 years old, and have yet to be been screened for breast cancer, do it today. � ere is no time to lose.

Nancy Thomas’ approach to life and battling cancer three times can be summed up in an expression she learned from fellow dragon-boat team members: “paddles up,” she says confidently.

“Paddles up is what we say when we get ready to go, and paddles up is kind of a key word for women here,” Thomas said.

The 74-year-old Renton resident first was diag-nosed with breast cancer in 2003. She didn’t want to accept the bad news.

“I just didn’t believe it; I couldn’t because I’m healthy. I was tearful, but I was mad,” she recalls.

When she had her first re-occurrence, she was just plain angry, and by the third time in 2007, her husband Lew thought she was going to die, but Thomas said she wasn’t ready.

Being the very strong-minded person who she is, she sought activities to moti-vate and strengthen her. In the process, she discovered the sport of dragon-boat racing through a niece who lives in California, who also had cancer. Her niece, Rita Colonell, came up to Washington for a dragon boat race and encouraged Thomas to get involved.

It didn’t take much to get Thomas hooked. She is natu-rally an athletic person, who wishes she had been born in a time when she could have done more athletic activities. This paired with a fondness for the water and she signed up with Team Survivor Northwest in no time.

The dragon boat team started in 2000, when the team paired up with local club, Club SAKE, to com-

prise a team of just cancer survivors.

The team averages about 50 people each year, and during the 12 years, they’ve had about 300 individual women.

“The paddling team is a very close-knit group of women,” said Alicia Supernavage, director of Team Survivor Northwest, via email. “The sport of dragon-boating is more about teamwork than brute

strength.”“This allows

women of all ages, all levels of recovery and fitness to work together to paddle well. The team is very much a sup-port group for one

another but not in the tradi-tional sense, sitting around a room and talking.”

The races, about four or five, happen in the summer, but there are other opportu-nities with other non-cancer boat clubs to practice during the winter.

Thomas’ new passion had her paddling all last winter. She’s been with the sport for two years now.

Her team practices for about an hour and a half in Lake Washington off Leschi twice a week on Saturday and Tuesday nights.

“The cancer boat itself, Survivor SAKE team, it lifts us; it encourages us,” Thomas said. “You never hear any-body discouraged; they’re always smiling and laugh-ing.”

There is no talk of cancer on the boat, Thomas said. If members have questions and want to discuss them, then that kind of conversa-tion usually takes place off the boat.

She’s watched team mem-bers care for one another after surgeries, rejoice together at good news and develop a close camaraderie.

“I have found — I’m not

here to brag about myself, but — cancer survivors are the strongest, most optimis-tic, most supportive, cheer-ful-ever women that there are around,” Thomas said.

Paddling teams have raced locally as well as in Taiwan and Canada.

Thomas now calls pad-dling a lifestyle, more than just a workout and an accom-plishment outside even her battle with cancer.

But to overcome cancer three times took the sup-port of her doctors at Group Health, a very strong fam-ily, a really strong belief in God, her strong-willed mind and drive to accomplish, and finally, the support of cancer organizations, she said.

She advises anyone who’s been recently diagnosed to get to it early. Thomas had breast screenings because her mother, Irene Taylor, had breast cancer, but survived it. If you have apprehension about a diagnosis, get a sec-ond opinion, she says; do research and don’t give up.

“A positive attitude is what reigns on the boat,” Thomas said. “It isn’t just cancer soci-ety — it’s life. We can do this.”

Team Survivor Northwest offers its dragon boat pro-gram to women in treatment and survivors of breast can-cer for free.

They knew it was going to be a special year. Loaded with senior talent and an experienced squad, the Mercer Island volleyball team had high expecta-tions. Midway through the season, their expectations appear to be spot on, so far undefeated in league matches, including a win over Mount Si, a longstand-ing KingCo rival.

Last week, the team improved to 8-0 in league and 11-0 overall, the best record in the conference and one of the best in the state.

On Tuesday, Oct. 2, the Islanders hosted Lake Washington, winning in three games — 25-15,

25-13, 25-11.Individually, Brooke

Behrbaum had seven kills and three blocks, while Kris Brackmann added nine kills during the games. Sara Lindquist had 10 kills and five aces during the win, while senior Kelly Logie

added 11 assists and three aces. Carly Wilson posted 23 assists and three aces for the team, while Jemma Yeadon had 12 kills and Lorial Yeadon had 15 digs.

The Juanita Rebels foot-ball team earned its second win of the KingCo season, beating Mercer Island on Friday night in a 41-29 game.

Mercer Island jumped out to the early lead after several penalty flags on both sides of the ball. Junior Chris Richards ran the ball into the end zone, the extra two points were good, and Mercer Island led 8-0 with 9:39 left in the first quarter.

With 3:02 left in the first, Juanita quarterback Tavin Montgomery passed to Kendrick Murphy for a touchdown, trailing 8-7 to the Islanders.

Juanita regained posses-sion in the second quarter with less than seven minutes on the clock. Montgomery ended the drive with a touchdown with 4:35 left in the half, giving the Rebels a 14-8 lead. Juanita main-tained the lead and the game’s momentum at half-time with the 14-8 score.

After the break, Juanita quickly scored when Trayon McNairy scored off a long run over the goal line with 11:18 in the third quarter. The kick was good and Juanita led 21-8.

On Mercer Island’s next drive, the ball was inter-cepted by Juanita at the 34-yard line, but the Rebels failed to convert to points, as would the Islanders on their next turn with the ball. After regaining the ball,

Mercer Island quarterback Brian Higgins fumbled the ball, and Juanita returned it to the 15-yard line with 6:19 left in the third. The Rebels attempted a 17-yard field goal, but the ball went wide.

Juanita’s defense contin-ued to stymie the Islanders’ offense, keeping Mercer Island from gaining new points.

With 2:18 left in the third, Juanita ran the ball into the end zone, scor-ing the third unanswered points of the game. The score was 28-8.

On the next drive, Mercer Island surged, scoring with just nine seconds left in the third quarter. The score was 28-15. The Islanders con-tinued to fight on defense and offense, battling their way to every first down.

The Islanders closed the gap even more, when Higgins scored with 10:02 left in the game to cut the lead to 28-22. But on the kickoff return, Juanita’s Cody Otterholt returned the ball for a touchdown. The score was 34-22. After a

quick return by Mercer Island, Matt Orehek scored with 8:26 left in the game, making it 34-29.

Juanita closed the door on the game with just 26 seconds on the clock, as Montgomery pushed his way to score the final points of the night.

Mercer Island had 388 yards during the game, while the Rebels posted 479 overall, 339 which came from rushing and 140 from passing. The Islanders con-tinued to show strong pass-ing skills, hitting 327 yards from the throw, with just 61 from rushing. Both teams dealt with a high number of penalties, with Mercer Island giving up 80 yards to the nine flags, while Juanita had 10 penalties for a loss of 86 yards. Both teams also gave up four fumbles, the highest for the Islanders in a game since 2009.

The Islanders are 3-1 in KingCo this season and 4-2 overall, sitting in the No. 3 spot in league.

Mercer Island will travel to Liberty next Friday night for a 7 p.m. game.

Islander Grace Wold was second in 5:16.18, also qualifying for state. Masami Cookson finished in fourth place with a 5:24.54 time. Lindsay White was sixth overall in 5:41.18.

The Islander team of Seidel, Williamson, Kwan and Wold won the 200 free-style relay title, winning with a 1:41.90 time. The state qualifying mark is set

at 1:46.5 for the event.Cox won the 100 back-

stroke race, completing the event in 59.35 seconds, well ahead of the 1:02.90 3A state qualifying time. Larkin was third overall, and Godfred finished in sixth place.

Deiparine won the 100 breaststroke event, finish-ing in 1:09.99, two seconds ahead of the state mark. Fisk was second in 1:10.73, with Natalie Marques in fifth in 1:13.20.

Mercer Island won the

final event of the meet, the 400 freestyle with the team of Seidel, Hoffman, Cox and Wold in 3:42.80. The team of Williamson, Cookson, Riggins and Olsen finished in third in 3:46.95.

The Mercer Island girls soccer team is leading the way in KingCo this season, holding the top spot in the league.

The team is undefeated with a 7-0-1 league record and 9-0-1 overall.

The team hosted Lake Washington on Thursday, Oct. 4, winning 1-0 in the team’s seventh shutout of the season.

Jamie Mounger earned the only goal of the evening, in the second half, assisted by Marissa Hammerstrom

in the 60th minute. “The goal came off a cor-

ner, and Jamie really came up big for us,” said head coach Terry Ryan. “We had several really good chanc-es, but just couldn’t get it all the way there.”

Corey Goelz earned the shutout.

The Islanders will travel to play Sammamish on Tuesday, after Reporter deadline, and will play Interlake, at Interlake, on Thursday, Oct. 11.

Mercer Island has just two weeks left in the regu-lar season before beginning the playoff run.

By Rebecca [email protected]

A cardiologist for 20 years, Dr. Fredric Tobis is a long-time Mercer Island resident who founded the Center for Physician Leadership Training. The Reporter sat down with Tobis to discuss his new, self-published book, “The Healthcare Crisis: The Urgent Need for Physician Leadership.”

Tobis is the current chair-man of Washington state’s Eighth District Health Care Advisory Committee, a Certified Physician Development Coach and a member of the Association of Physician Speakers, Experts, and Consultants. He is mar-ried to a physician, Carla Greenbaum, and the couple has four grown children.

W h a t prompted you to write this book?

What inspired me to write the book was, actu-ally, my kids had friends over for dinner one night and we were sit-ting around the table and they were discuss-ing health care — and these are very smart young people, yet it was amazing to me how little they knew about what really was going on in health care. One of them said, ‘If you know so much, why don’t you write a book?’

What is the main idea of your book — what is one thing that you hope readers will learn or understand?

First, the real crisis in health care is cost. Everything else is secondary … the cost is completely out of control. The second point is the cost of health care is very diffi-cult to control, unless you’re actually inside the system. In other words, regulation from outside, either through gov-ernment policy or insurance policy, fails — it has been failing for 25 years and it will continue to fail.

Physicians need to have good, effective physician leadership. Either we take control of the cost or some-one else will.

I try to do this in a nonpar-tisan, objective manner. The point is when you ask politi-cians to solve your problems, you’re asking people who don’t have the expertise to do it because very few of our politicians are physicians.

What are some of your main con-cerns about the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare?

The big-gest concern is the indepen-dent advisory board that has 15 political a p p o i n t e e s deciding what’s quality. The

term “quality” is very hard. … It’s dynamic because there’s always new information coming out that affects what the right thing to do is ... most medical care is based on data plus judgment, and there’s a

lot of judgment involved in analyzing the data. To think that 15 people are going to be deciding on data … is a hor-rible idea.

Second, the cost analysis is completely bogus. There are funds flowing out of Medicare to pay for the Affordable Care Act, and Medicare is already bankrupt.

How do you see physi-cians taking leadership in this crisis?

If physicians don’t recog-nize that the only [alternative] to them controlling costs is to have someone else do it, then someone else is going to do it. And someone else will do it poorly.

They need to recognize the importance of physician leadership; they need to real-ize what the mission is … to promote this kind of culture where you’re going to be able to maintain quality and cut costs at the same time.

What can patients do?By understanding how the

current system works, it can give people an insight into the kinds of questions they ought to ask … one has to ask, is this test you’re order-ing [necessary] — what are the alternatives?

They ought to be more actively engaged with the right information about health care and not believe some of the bromides (sound bytes, distortions, comfort-ing thoughts) that some-how Medicare doesn’t have to change, insurance doesn’t have to change … that’s not going to work.

Dr. Tobis’ book is available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

It’s that season when campaign signs (and promises) are almost as prominent as falling leaves. Sadly, election years tend to reduce our expectations that prom-ises will be fulfilled.

According to the dic-tionary, a promise is a d e c l ar at i on or assurance that one will do a particu-lar thing or that guaran-tees a par-ticular thing will happen. By definition, the power of a promise is rooted in the ability of the promise maker to be a promise keeper.

Mercer Islander Vince Wormser knew all about making promises and keeping them. Before his recent death at the age of 93, the Boston-born career United Airlines pilot loved to talk about how promises unlocked doors of opportunity.

In 1931, Vince moved with his parents to the Montlake District of Seattle. As a 12-year-old, he began sailing on Lake Washington in his little skiff. He was over-whelmed by the beauty of the area. But there was one special place he espe-cially loved. It was a natu-ral beach on the east side of Mercer Island, where he frequently sailed and repeatedly picnicked. Vince promised himself he would one day build a house and live on that very spot.

Vince dreamed about that beautiful beach while serving his coun-try during World War II. As he trained military

pilots who would bomb enemy beaches overseas, he polished his promise to himself with frequent thoughts of home.

Upon returning from the war, Vince mar-ried and rented the old Lowman cabin near the East Channel bridge.

Determined to make good on that promise to himself, he part-nered with his brother-in-law, Bob Zesbaugh. The two of them purchased acre-age on East Mercer Way and proceeded to develop 12

home sites, including his own. For 60 years, Vince lived in that home on the beach he adored. It was his promised land!

But Captain Wormser also had an appreciation for the land that God promised His people three millennia ago. Vince loved to talk about his part in a mission known as Operation Magic Carpet. In 1949, shortly after Israel became an independent state, Vince accepted an assignment flying countless Jewish pilgrims from Yemen to Palestine. Even though he took pride in being the pilot who flew the University of Washington football team to all their away games during the decade of the sixties, Vince looked back on his “flights to the Promised Land” as a lucky par-ticipant in history. He helped the Almighty make good on one big promise!
