In the next few years, Youth Theater Northwest (YTN) expects to lose its present space that it leas-es from the Mercer Island School District near the high school sta-dium, on S.E. 40th Street.

Along with supporters, YTN has approached the City of Mercer Island regarding its possible use of land in the Town Center for a new performing arts facility for their organization.

YTN says that a theater in the Town Center would benefit Island restaurants and Island businesses by people coming to attend perfor-mances. They suggest that many types of entertainment would be offered at the site, bringing people on foot who live in the apartments nearby. They point out that per-formances and rehearsals occur in the afternoons and evenings, and that parking along city streets can accommodate increases in traffic

The Council has discussed the possibility of siting such a facil-ity at either the Mercer Island Community and Event Center or the old recycling center land and the Bicentennial Park space.

At a planning session held in June, the Council came up with six alternatives with various combina-

tions of location, ownership and control options.

The Council discussed the proj-ects on the merits of what was appropriate for each site, whether it be size, parking availability and marketing concerns. But most agreed that for a theater, the Town Center site would be ideal for its proximity to complementary activities such as restaurants and the number of people who live nearby.

Council members Jane Brahm and Tana Senn were appointed to explore each of these six propos-als and choose one. They were to evaluate each within a set of criteria that included parking, traffic and access, land use and environmental impact, safety and financial viability.

YTN hopes that the new facility could be located in the old recy-cling center space.

As YTN would need to raise private money for the project. A space visible in the Town Center would make it more appealing to

Mercer Island City Councilmember Tana Senn was selected by the 41st Democrats on Wednesday, Aug. 21, along with two others, to be the nominees to replace former Washington state Rep. Marcie Maxwell. Maxwell resigned in July to take a position as a senior education advisor to Governor Jay Inslee.

The King County Council will make the final decision as to who will represent the 41st District with a vote sometime early next month. Senn received 49 out of the 82 votes cast by 41st Precinct Committee members.

potential donors, said YTN Director Manny Cawaling.

Senn and Brahm reviewed the six alterna-tives. Their report to the Council indicated that each of the six alternatives had merit and represented a viable option, yet they recommended that the recycling center land alter-native was the best one presented.

Their finding was that it will be incumbent upon YTN to come forward with a plan that spells out how the project will be financed, constructed and operated. The city would not be involved in the project outside of provid-ing the land.

The report says: “The committee recommends that the City Council com-municate to Youth Theatre Northwest its intention to make the former Recycling Center site available for further study and analysis as a future Performing Arts facility. Further, the c o m m i t t e e recommends that a stand-performing arts facil-ity should be pursued. This assumes that YTN would serve as the primary tenant of the facility and that other pub-lic performances would be accommodated.”

YTN would undertake the design, construction and financing and man-agement of the facility.

Brahm and Senn also recommended that the City Council set a fixed

time period for reservation of the recycling center site. Within that time period, the Council will determine the viability of the proposal and if it is appropriate for that site or if another site

s h o u l d be evalu-ated, or to aban-don the proposal complete-ly.

Finally, the committee said that public outreach should determine if public land should be committed to a private entity.

Councilmember Brahm said the committee’s find-ings do not make the the-ater a done deal.

“Our task was to look at the six alternatives and base our findings on the parameters we were given to work with,” she

explained.“I am a big fan of YTN,”

she said. “But I have some major concerns.”

Brahm ticked off a list of areas that need care-ful consideration, includ-ing parking near the site and the long-term ramifi-cations about gifting city property.

Council member Senn noted that YTN has to demonstrate that they can accomplish the project.

“They will have to show us how they will mitigate all of these concerns about parking, traffic, etc.,” she explained, noting that locating the

But in the end, both Senn and Brahm agree that it will be YTN’s task to demonstrate the feasibility of the project.

“YTN will have to show us how they would do it,” Senn said.

“I am thrilled and hon-ored by the faith the Democratic party has put in me,” Senn said. .

The County Council vote has not been set.

Senn has been a Mercer Island City Councilmember since her appointment to the post vacated by former city mayor, Jim Pearman, in 2012. She is already slated to run unopposed for her City Council seat in November.

If selected by the County Council, she plans on retaining her seat on the City Council for now and would decide later if she will run for the permanent rep-resentative position in 2014.

dempsey quits Tully’s Coffee

Patrick Dempsey, the TV actor who starred in the Seattle-based television show “Grey’s Anatomy,” and who agreed to buy the Island-owned Tully’s, has now quit the deal due to problems with his business partner.

The television star is suing his business part-ner, Michael Avenatti, last week, over the financing of their Global Baristas company, according to the Daily Business Journal.

The pair formed the company to buy Tully’s out of bankruptcy in January. Dempsey filed suit in King County Superior Court, claiming that Avenatti bor-

rowed $2 million against the assets of the new company without telling Dempsey, The Business Journal said.

Just two days later, Dempsey said he is out of the partnership.

In a joint statement issued by Dempsey and Avenatti on Friday, Dempsey said:

“Although Michael and I have dissolved our busi-ness relationship, I am happy to have been a part of the effort that brought awareness to the Tully’s brand. I wish the company and Michael all the best. I am happy that we have resolved our differences and have put this behind us, and I know we each wish the other well in our respective future endeav-ors.”

Avenatti vows to move ahead with keeping Tully’s.

“Great things are on the horizon for Tully’s and Seattle,” he said.

By Reporter StaffWork is in process on

a new restaurant to take over the former Alpenland location at 2707 78th Ave. S.E. The inside has been gutted.

According to news reports, the restaurant will be named ‘Island Broiler.’ It will feature American-style burgers with an ‘Island theme’ along with Vietnamese-style grilled dishes.

The new business is owned by Seattle restau-rateur Bruce Le. The new eatery is scheduled to open in October.

Alpenland first opened in 1974 and closed for good earlier this year.

Its many specialty foods and pretzel rolls were prized by patrons of all ages.

Islander and professional bowler, Hugh Miller, and his teammate, Ron Mohr, of Team USA, captured the men’s doubles title at the inaugural World Senior Bowling Championships held at Red Rock Lanes in Las Vegas on Aug. 24.

In the men’s champion-ship match, Miller/Mohr came out commandingly and cruised to a 450-387 vic-tory over Colombia’s Edgar Gomez and David Romero.

The eventual champi-ons led the 60 men’s and 43 women’s doubles after six games of qualifying on the 40-feet Athens lane en route to earn the No. 1 seed for the one-game playoffs.

Miller, whose resume includes seven PBA Tour titles and three PBA Senior Tour wins, 32 PBA Regional and four PBA50 Regional titles, started with a four-bagger (four strikes in a row), and Mohr, an eight-time winner on the PBA Senior Tour and two-time PBA over 50 Player of the

Year (2009, 2011), had a spare and three consecutive strikes to take a 60-pin lead, and never looked back.

Miller finished with 223 and Mohr added 227 to win the second gold medal of the championships for the host country, and the first for the men’s team.

“The competition here [at the World Senior Championships] is com-pletely different to bowling on the PBA Tour,” Mohr said. “To bowl for your country is something spe-cial. This title certainly ranks up with a PBA title.”

His teammate, Miller, agreed. “It is like playing for the Davis Cup in tennis or the Ryder Cup [in golf], Miller said. “It is playing for your country.”

Miller, a 1975 graduate of Mercer Island High School, has lived on the Island since he was a boy. His bowling career, however, began at an alley in the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood of Seattle where he lived with his par-ents until they moved to the Island. It was his moth-er who started him on his career on the lanes.

“My mom bowled like many women back then,” he explained. ”She used to take me with her.”

After moving across the lake, he began bowling in

earnest at Belle Lanes in Bellevue and, of course, the long defunct Mercer Island Lanes on the Island.

He figures he long ago met what author Malcolm Gladwell coined as the “10,000-Hour Rule.” Gladwell and others have said that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practic-ing a specific task for 10,000 hours.

The Island bowler figures that he achieved that thresh-old by the time he was in his early 20s. From the time he was 13, Miller figures he probably bowled three hours per day at least three times each week.

“It is the time you put in,” he said simply. “That is how you get good.”

And it has worked.Terry Bigham, of the

United States Bowling Congress, said that Miller has averaged right at 220 during his seven years on the senior tour.

Miller remembers all the bowling alleys in Seattle and beyond. He laments the loss of the places he played and knew well.

Yet, while bowling began to lose its appeal in the 1990s, renewed interest in the sport is now coming from outside the United States.

“The growth in the sport

now is international,” Miller said. “The next world tour-nament may be in Vienna.”

Much of the growth is in northern European coun-tries such as Finland and Sweden; and Malaysia and Korea, where women are embracing the sport, he explained.

The pro said that he is semi-retired. He accom-panies his son to bowling events now. He still does tournaments, but says it is more for enjoyment rather than the prize money.

According to PBA figures, he has won nearly $900,000 since he began competing

professionally in 1980. He has done a few com-

petitions internationally in Japan and Finland, and said he has played in nearly every state in the U.S. except a few in New England. When he does go, he often says he does not spend a lot of time getting ready ahead of time.

“I might use the qualify-ing round to warm up,” he said.

Miller also works as a real estate agent for Windermere,

and still lives in the house where he grew up near the high school that his sons attend. He intends to stay.

Bowling is never far away from anyone’s mind in the Miller household, said Miller’s wife, Donna.

“Our dining room table is part of a lane from Leilani Lanes in Seattle that was torn down a few years ago,” she explained.

“It is a big table,” she laughs.

D rivers who text or talk on cellphones are distracted. And even the briefest of distractions can be deadly.Statistics show that a growing number of traffic

accidents and fatalities in our state are being attributed to distracted driving.

A special initiative by the Washington State Patrol and other law enforcement agencies to stop and ticket drivers who text and talk while driving just ended last weekend. It is too early to know how many were stopped, but we’d guess a whole lot of drivers will be paying that $124 ticket.

Much time and effort has been put into discouraging and criminalizing drinking and driving. We’d like to say it has changed such behaviors. Instead, the incidence of

distracted driving is picking up any slack.

Law enforcement and safety experts say that distracted driving is akin to being legally drunk.

Yet more and more car manufacturers are adding

more distractions — this time to the dashboard.A look at a piece of standard equipment on the new

Tesla Model S sedan is instructive. The $62,000 electric car’s equipment list includes: “A 17-inch, (color) capacitive touchscreen is the focal point of the new Tesla Model S infotainment and control. All media, communication, cabin and vehicle controls are brought to life through this high resolution input screen.” Whoa.

One feature displays a real time traffic map showing the position of the vehicle and surrounding traffic. It is an amazing tool for a driver to use to avoid congestion and find alternative routes. Among other tasks, the high-def display can be used to search for music, offering choices as to genre, artist or track. And there is more. It is irresistible.

It is not just high-end vehicles adding the displays. They are becoming standard on many vehicles. Yes, GPS systems are incredibly useful. But the size and placement of these devices and the myriad tasks and tricks they perform make them difficult to ignore when driver attention should be elsewhere.

So, never mind the phone. It is a different screen, now set front and center, that begs for attention.

A 17-inch, color capacitive touch screen is a ‘focal point’ of the car.

Island Forum Why should Americans support Obamacare?

Obamacare is undergoing relent-less attacks. There have been 40 attempts to repeal it. The national debate over it has fueled the political Tea Party faction. It caused the loss for the Democratic majority in the house and now fuels most political battles. Yet it is still standing and millions are benefiting from it.

Few fully understand Obamacare. Many have dedicated themselves to spreading lies about it in hopes of bringing it down, but support for it has remained unchanged.

The law has eliminated insurance discrimination based on age, sex and health status. Such practices are now illegal. Does one dare point out that the law’s namesake trounced the other guy a few months ago, and the law is at least twice as popular as Congress?

The coming reality will be differ-ent. As the law helps more people, the support from them will be louder than screams from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Koch brothers and the insurance industry.

Nearly half of all Americans have some connection to Medicaid. They or family members have used Medicaid benefits. Word will get around.

Political mudslinging has left a mark on the law. One-on-one con-versations among those who benefit from it will clean up the mud. These conversations will have a greater effect on public opinion than TV

advertising and will cause people to know they have an interest in pro-tecting the law.

When the political ideology is wrung out, when the stupid talk about “death panels” no longer

dominates the con-versation and the benefits become evident, people will know they have a common interest in supporting the law.

Health care is more important than politics. Health care is essential. It is the biggest concern of day-to-day living.

It is personal. It is an issue of life and death. Obamacare will help make our lives less difficult. It will also address the $765 billion in waste that the Institute of Medicine reports due to waste because of missed preven-tion measures, fraud, unnecessary services and excess administrative

costs.Our health care system is grossly

inefficient. The biggest reason is because the drug manufacturers and medical device makers have suc-ceeded in bribing Congress, through campaign contributions, to pass leg-islation preventing the government from applying cost-effectiveness measures of different treatments in deciding how to spend health care dollars.

Every citizen must understand the political reality. It is imperative that Obamacare be as successful as Social Security and Medicare. That will happen only if the right peo-ple are in Congress and the White House. Americans must vote in 2014 and 2016 with the preservation of Obamacare, Social Security and Medicare in mind.

Meanwhile, as many people as possible must enroll in the new insurance marketplace. That will

four teens vandalize old boys & Girls clubFour teenage boys broke into the former Boys & Girls Club building between 5 and 9 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18, in the 2800 block of West Mercer Way. The youth vandalized the build-ing by spraying a fire extinguisher inside. An estimated $2,000 worth of damage was done to the gym. A surveillance camera recorded the incident. Forced entry was not evident.

By Reporter StaffIt has been more

than three years since Washington’s cell phone law came into effect. If police see you holding a phone to your ear or tex-ting while driving, they can pull you over. The fine is $124 and can be more if you cause a crash.

Washington’s Text Messaging Law (RCW 46.61.668) prohibits send-ing, reading or writing a text message while driving.

Washington’s Cell Phone Law (RCW 46.61.667) pro-hibits hand-held wireless communication device use while driving.

In an emergency situa-tion, drivers are permitted to use a cellphone.

Drivers should assess the necessity to use a cell phone while driving and should consider pulling over to a safe place off of the road if possible.

free child car seat checks on the eastside, seattle

Car crashes are the lead-ing cause of serious and fatal injuries to children. The proper use of a child

safety seat can dramatically reduce the likelihood of these injuries; yet, most car seats are not used properly.

The clinics are held at Overlake Hospital, Evergreen Hospital and Children’s Hospital in Seattle.

The clinics are an oppor-tunity for one-on-one guidance on proper child car seat use. Bring your car, car seat and child, and be prepared for hands-on training. Expectant parents and other caregivers are also welcome.

To get the most value for your time, come pre-pared to participate in the check-up process. Also, bringing diapers, snacks, toys, etc., may make poten-tial wait times more pleas-ant. These events are free of charge, but Overlake and Evergreen Hospitals require pre-registration.

Island Forum | FROM 5

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Columnist

Those looking for a more transparent government are increasingly relying on public records to make it happen.

They hope the more documents they obtain, the clearer their view of what’s really going on behind closed doors in school dis-tricts, city halls and county buildings.

But there are those throughout the public sector convinced some of these Washingtonians are abusing the Public Records Act.

An alliance of govern-ment forces — whose members often are the targets of the records — tried unsuccessfully earlier this year to rewrite the act to make it easier to repel requesters whose motives they question.

With the help of Republican and Democratic lawmakers, they pushed a bill to make it easier for public agencies to block requests and to limit the time spent com-piling records.

Though the bill died in the legislative process, the matter reappeared in the state budget in the form of a provision to spend $25,000 contemplating

ways to help governments deal with records requests they consider harassing.

Lawmakers tapped the Ruckelshaus Center, a joint venture of the University of Washington and Washington State University, to facilitate a conversation between those in the alliance and those who viewed the failed bill as an unprecedented attack on citizens’ right to petition their government. By Dec. 15, the center is supposed to put forth rec-ommendations.

The effort is just getting off the ground and folks at the center are tamping down expectations of what will emerge.

Michael Kern, the cen-ter director, said this week that the timeframe is too tight to pull the parties together for fruitful face-to-face sessions, presuming everybody on all sides is interested in doing so.

The game plan is to speak with 20 to 30 peo-ple who have been visible and vocal in the legislative conflict, then prepare an assessment of the situation based on what center staff hears in the interviews.

“We’ll report what the diverse interests say,” he said. “It will not include our opinions because we don’t have opinions. We are a neutral third party.”

That’s not quite what Democratic Rep. Dean Takko, of Longview, envi-sioned when he helped per-suade leaders of his party to put the proviso in the budget. Takko, who spon-sored the failed bill, hoped the skilled forces at the cen-ter could blaze a trail that lawmakers could not.

“Myself and quite a num-ber of other people think there’s something we need to address,” said Takko, a former Cowlitz County assessor and Cathlamet City Council member. “I don’t think anybody wants to hide public records. What we’re trying to do is stop frivolous requests.”

Now, he’ll take whatever they provide this winter as a possible starting point for legislation in 2014.

“In all honesty, we prob-ably will not be a whole lot further than when the session ended,” he said. “It’s a big enough issue that we

have to take some baby steps forward.”

Another person inter-ested in talking with Kern’s team is Jason Mercier, an analyst with the Washington Policy Center and member of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. The coalition strongly opposed Takko’s bill.

He sees no reason to change the Public Records Act. The problem isn’t the law, he said, but officials’ understanding of it. Many do not realize what tools are already available to them when someone sub-mits one of those so-called burdensome requests.

He suggested that law-makers asked the wrong question with the budget proviso. Leaders in local governments say hefty requests can chew up staff time and taxpayer dollars, but there’s no data on how much time and money is wasted to back up their claims, he said. Getting the answer would really inform the discussion, he said.

Sounds like something a public records request, or two, could clear up.

Fire Chief Tubbs accepted into national training program

Mercer Island Fire Chief Chris Tubbs was recently accepted into the Executive Leadership Program at the Naval Post Graduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security.

The extremely competi-tive nine-month program requires a week of on-site attendance each quarter, with costs covered by the Department of Homeland Security.

The program works to strengthen overall national security by providing hand-picked executive level grad-uates with a better under-standing of current and future homeland security issues, public policy debates and terrorist threats. The information learned will be brought back and shared with the local community.

Housing Coalition looking for citizen advisory board members

A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) is looking for people to join the Citizen Advisory Board.

The board includes 10 to 15 local residents and hous-ing professionals who work with ARCH staff to evaluate local housing proposals and increase awareness of hous-ing issues on Mercer Island and the Eastside.

Members of the board meet for two hours one Wednesday evening each month. To learn more about ARCH and the board, visit www.archhousing.org.

Aviara hosts celebration on Mercer Island

The recently completed apartment complex, Aviara, celebrated its opening last week. The building, which opened earlier in March, is almost 90 percent leased.

Over 200 of the building’s residents and community guests gathered for a celebra-tion of the project and com-munity on Wednesday, Aug. 14.

Members of the Aviara staff and board were on hand, along with staff from Mercer Island Youth and Family Services Foundation, where BRE Properties presented the MIYFS Foundation with a check.

“Being a good community partner and creating a com-munity where residents feel at home are our main goals for Aviara and for all BRE’s communities,” said Kevin Grani, BRE’s vice presi-dent property operations, northern division, in a press release. “The celebration was to show our appreciation to our residents and the city of Mercer Island.”

The building also contains 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail space, part of which has been leased to The Islander, which will open in September.

Timebanking Workshop tonight Aug. 28

The second of two sum-mer “Timebanking” work-shops will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 28, at the Community and Event Center to intro-duce Islanders to the project and register additional mem-bers. Timebanking is a sys-tem organized to provide the exchange of services between interested individuals in a community without using money. For every hour you spend doing a task for some-one else, you earn a credit; you can then exchange your credit to have someone com-plete a task for you, building useful relationships along the way. The MI Timebank is part of the Puget Sound Timebank network, and is a project of Mercer Island Youth and Family Services.

Parking alert at MICEC

The Mercer Island Community and Event Center (MICEC) parking lot will be undergoing repair and maintenance work from

Aug. 26 through Aug. 30; the 222-space lot will be receiv-ing a seal coat and refreshed striping. To minimize incon-venience to the public, this project will be completed in three phases, keeping a por-tion of the lot available for use at all times. However, visitors should be aware that parking will be significantly reduced for the duration of the project.

Plan for parking squeezes around high school in September

Upcoming Mercer Island High School events are likely to require parking beyond the capacity of school district parking lots.

As a result, on-street parking will be allowed for the duration of the event. On-street parking for these events is allowed under a 2007 agreement between the school district, Boys and Girls Club, and the City of Mercer Island. A maximum of 30 event days per year are allowed.

Additions and changes will be posted to the district website on the Mercer Island High School page.

To be notified by email of any additions or changes, please register by sending your email address to [email protected].

If you have any questions, contact Todd Kelsay at (206) 236-3337 or [email protected].

Exposure to different cul-tures ranks as one of the most powerful ways to pro-mote international under-standing and peace. The Rotary Youth Exchange program provides thou-sands of young students with the opportunity to meet people from other countries and to experience new cultures, planting the seeds for a lifetime of inter-national understanding. The program offers numer-ous benefits to its young participants and their Rotarian hosts and mentors, as well as to the community at large. Through Y o u t h E x c h a n g e , s t u d e n t s learn first-hand about all aspects of life in another country. As their concept of the world e x p a n d s , they mature and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Immersion in another country’s edu-cational system enhances their academic and person-al growth.

Host clubs and families and the entire community are enriched by extended, friendly contact with some-one from a different culture.

Since 1994, Mercer Island Rotary Club has hosted one high school student every year from another country to come and stay on Mercer Island. MI Rotary also sponsors a local U.S. high school student to attend school and live with a host family in another country. By attending school and liv-ing with a family in each country, high school stu-

dents and their host fami-lies achieve a unique under-standing of the culture of another country.

Nilton Santos Biazi Junior arrived last August from Brazil and attended Mercer Island High School. He stayed with two differ-ent families on the Island; Lesley and Sandy Piha, and Kathleen Moody and Scott Sedlik.

His first host mom, Lesley Piha, said, “Junior was our family’s first experience having an exchange student and it really was the best experience of our lives. He came with an open mind, willing and wanting to be a part of everything our fam-ily and community offered. We learned so much about each other’s cultures, reli-gions, language, etc. Junior not only became a men-

tor for our three boys, but is now their big brot her. B e c au s e of this e x p e r i -ence we are look-ing for-ward to v i s i t i n g J u n i o r and his f a m -ily next

year in Brazil — a place we would not have considered prior to this exchange.”

Biazi’s second host mom, Kathleen Moody, said, “Our family was lucky enough to host Junior Biazi from Brazil in our home. Junior enriched our lives. We were able to expand our under-standing of Brazil and enjoy his wonderful humor and infectious exuberance.

“Our son, David, says the house is too quiet now, and wants to know if we can host another exchange stu-dent. We now feel our fam-ily is expanded forever with our other son and brother.”

Biazi has been involved with Rotary since he was 12 years old. He came with the goal of securing grant

money to benefit a nursery school in his home town. The grant that Biazi helped to draft during his exchange was selected and fully fund-ed by Rotary International.

“I learned to be an advo-cate of my country and my culture,” said Biazi. “It was a wonderful experience, and I had the opportunity to celebrate several holidays — Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even Hanukkah — that are not celebrated in Brazil.”

There are over 8,000 exchange students from more than 80 countries hosted by Rotary clubs each year.

The Mercer Island Rotary Club offers local families the opportunity to see the world through an exchange student’s eyes. Host families host a student for three months. The club also sponsors one student each year to go abroad.

Chiara Malaguzzi was selected to represent Mercer Island for the 2012-2013 school year, and recently returned from her year-long exchange in Chile.

“Exchange taught me that you can have more than one family, more than one home. It fills you with desire to always see more, creates connections around the world that are simply irreplaceable, brings out qualities in you that you may not have thought you had, but most importantly, it stays with you forever,” she said.

Applications are cur-rently being accepted from Mercer Island families interested in hosting oppor-tunities, and from Mercer Island High School sopho-mores interested in study-ing abroad during their junior year.

To learn more, contact Claudina Campbell at (425) 463-9051 or [email protected].

Rotary meets every Tuesday, from noon to 1:30 p.m., at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center, 8236 S.E. 24th Street. Learn more online at www.mirotary.com.

By Reporter StaffMore than two dozen

high school students learned how to fly right as technology entrepreneurs during a four-week summer camp at The University of Texas at Dallas.

Camper and Dallas native and Island resident, Chandler Neames, was CEO of the first-place win-ner, Aegis Systems. Their quad copter product was designed to assist police and first responders to gather information in potentially dangerous situations.

Students spent a month assembling and learning to operate small, unmanned aerial vehicles called quad copters, which are remote-controlled flying robots.

“The campers not only built the vehicles from a kit and learned how to fly them, they also had to come up with a business plan for their use,” said Dr. Kenneth Berry, assistant director of the Science and Engineering Education Center (SEEC) at UT Dallas and director of the Univers i ty ’s first Quad Copter Camp.

The high school stu-dents were divided into five teams. With guid-ance from UT Dallas faculty and students, each team came up with a company name and determined a problem that its robot would address. They then conducted market and fea-sibility analyses and devel-oped a business plan.

The Texas Workforce Commission provided a grant to help support the camp. Experts in unmanned aerial vehicles from area

companies OnPoynt Unmanned Systems and Kasling Aircraft Company were consultants and helped campers learn to fly the quad copters.

Quad copters can vary in size, but all are lifted and propelled by four symmetri-

cally placed r o t o r s , which are similar to helicopter blades.

F r o m their analy-ses, teams developed r o b o t d e s i g n s , including

attaching sensors, cameras and infrared cameras to their vehicles. Campers also programmed the robots, and designed and manu-factured custom parts using computer-aided design soft-ware and a 3D printer.

On the last day of the camp, students dressed in business attire and, in front of an audience of peers and

parents, pitched their ideas via multimedia presenta-tions to a panel of “ven-ture capitalist” judges, who chose to “invest” in the win-ning company. Faculty from the business school assisted throughout the camp to coach the teams on how to make an effective pitch to potential investors.

Neames attends Aviation High School in Des Moines, Wash., where she will be a senior this fall. Her other objective was to check out UT Dallas. After visiting campus, she said the univer-sity is among her top college choices.

“UT Dallas has a strong engineering program and a really good business school, and I think it’s good to have that business background with the engineering. I’m really excited to come here,” Neames said.

While Neames attended camp, she stayed with fam-ily friends Linus and Aleta Toy, longtime Island resi-dents who recently relocat-ed to Coppell, Texas.

Contributed Photo Team members Matthew Whitby and Islander Chandler Neames discuss how their team’s ‘quad copter,’ a small unmanned aerial vehicle, might be used to assist police and first responders at the University of Texas at Dallas Science and Engineering Education Center Quad Copter Camp.

Elizabeth Vanderall, a senior at Mercer Island High School, is one of 12 high school students selected to participate in this year’s 2013 Ocean Exploration

Trust Honors Research Program this summer. After five weeks at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography learning about oceanography, data visualization tech-niques, and the scientific research process, Vanderwall will

join the E/V Nautilus in the Cayman Islands for a week to explore biological and geo-logical systems of the Mid-Cayman Rise as a data log-ger alongside sci-entists, engineers and educators.

Using deep sea technology and

remotely operated vehicles,

the team will explore what lies at the depths of the ocean, including sea life and hydrothermal vents, up to approximately 2,000 meters.

Scientists know more about the surface of Mars than they do about what lies at the bottom of the sea, Vanderwall said. In fact, over 90 percent of the ocean is unexplored.

The expedition will be shared with the world live using telepresence technol-ogy, revealing the wonders of the undersea world in real time in an effort to engage and inspire a new generation of young explor-ers to be a part of the explo-ration as it happens.

By Megan [email protected]

Standing at 10,781 feet, at the summit of Mount Baker, Sam Peterson and his father, Charlie, had reached their goal. Upon getting back down the mountain, the duo realized they’d far surpassed their second goal of the trip — fundraising.

As an active family, it only made sense to the Petersons when they started brain-storming for soon-to-be senior Sam’s culminating project that they climb a mountain. The Islanders, along with two other father-son teams, successfully climbed Mount Baker in early August.

“The reason we chose the climb, we’d been think-ing about doing some sort of silent auction, and other ideas, but we wanted to do the climb because it felt unique,” said Sam Peterson. “I’ve been begging my dad for a long time to climb Mt. Rainier. When my dad was 15, he went with my grandpa and their church group, so he wanted me to have the same experience. Unfortunately, Mt. Rainier books up really fast, so when we were look-ing at trips, Mt. Baker was the only one. It isn’t bad because

it’s still 10,700 feet, and it’s a considerable distance.”

As part of his culminat-ing project, Peterson want-ed to fundraise money for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America’s Northwest Chapter, an orga-nization that both he and his dad had personal experi-ence with. Both have ulcer-ative colitis, and Sam had his lower colon removed several years ago after a long battle with the disease. The CCFA raises money and awareness for both diseas-es. Once the father and son chose the climb, they asked family friends Steve and Jake Stenberg, and Arthur and David McCray to join them. Arthur McCray and Jake Stenberg are longtime friends of Peterson’s.

In getting the pieces together for the climb, the Petersons met with Kelsi

Messling, at the CCFA Northwest chapter, to learn how to set up the fundraiser, which turned out to be much easier than Peterson thought. The families sent out email blasts, sharing their story about the climb, and efforts to raise money.

Peterson said the next step for the group was training. Though not as daunting of a mission as climbing Mt. Rainier, climbing Mt. Baker still requires climbers to be in good shape and able to carry packs up to 60 pounds.

“I ended up climbing Mt. Si a couple of times and doing a lot of running because I already do cross country at the high school, so I was already training for that. It’s a little differ-ent than Mt. Rainier because you don’t have to be worried about altitude sickness so much because you get that at 11,000 feet. We also weren’t going to be at freezing level, which is about 13,000 right now — essentially it’s a long hike in the snow. It’s noth-ing crazy when you think about ice climbing or scaling. It’s pretty simple. It’s a lot of training with getting heavier and heavier packs. We were going to have to carry about 60-pound packs, hauling the gear up to base camp,” said the teenager.

On Friday, Aug. 9, the team headed out for the Ranger Station in Sedro Woolley, where they met their guides and re-packed for the trip.

“The first thing you do is explode your pack, which means you take it all out and spread it out in the park-ing lot. You have to make sure you have all the right gear and that it’s the right size. You can’t have too much weight — the goal is to mini-

mize as much as possible. Their sleeping bags roll up and are only about a pound or so. The goal is to have the least amount of mass as you can,” said Peterson.

The group caravanned with others on their way to the trailhead on the southern side of the mountain, which travels up the Easton Glacier route. The northern route has been closed off since earlier this year because of a flash flood, which washed out the access road. Once at the trailhead, the team set out on a relatively easy hike to base camp. The route crosses Rocky Creek, where Peterson slipped on a rock, slammed his foot into another rock and dislocated his toe. It seemed like his trip might be over before it began.

“I hobbled across the rest of the river, and my dad, who is an orthopedic sur-geon, takes off my shoe and sock and noticed that my toe doesn’t quite look right, and the top is bent at a 45-degree angle,” he said. “I’d like to say I didn’t cry and there wasn’t any yelling involved, but he managed to pop it back in after three tries. I thought there was no way I was going to make the rest of the hike, and I’d spent all this time raising the money.”

After the pause to fix his toe, and now wearing his gla-cier boots, which acted as a splint for his foot, Peterson and the group made it to base camp. That was when Mother Nature decided to remind the team who was in charge.

“We were settling in for the night; after what tasted like a fantastic dinner of

Three Mercer Island residents recently traveled to Oklahoma City for the kayak and canoe Sprint National championships.

Michael Weyna, Natasha Dietz and Bee Dietz all competed and earned medals at the event. Weyna competes for the Seattle Canoe and Kayak Club, while Natasha and her grandmother, Bee, paddle for Cascade Canoe and Kayak Center in Renton.

Natasha, 16, has been paddling with the club for several years, and as someone who would drive her to practice in Renton, Bee decided to give it a try. The 76-year-old has rheumatoid arthritis and has always been active in a variety of sports, but it was her first time paddling.

She started attending practices and joined the team last year, going up to four times a week learning how to row and handle the boats.

“My first race was a local race,” she said. “I was per-fectly happy just to finish.” She said she’s philosophi-cal about competing, and learning the technique has been difficult, but the activity has made a big difference in her arthritis, helping her feel better.

The national competi-tion is a four-day event, with the last day reserved

for masters competitions, which Dietz races in. Anyone over 30 falls into the masters level. Teams from around the country gathered for the event, but a big storm on the night of the first day wrecked the course, forcing races to be reset at only 200 meters, instead of the tradition-al 1,000 or 500-meter lengths.

Dietz competed in eight events, the max at the competition. She earned six medals, including a gold in the K2 mixed race.

“It’s really delightful,” she said. “After my first race, it was my dream to go to nationals with my granddaughter. I would have been thrilled with just one medal, let alone six.”

Natasha Dietz left the competition with three medals, all bronze.

Dietz said she plans on continuing to paddle, working on her goal of get-ting into small, faster boats as she learn the techniques better. There will be a few more competitions this fall for the team, her last of the year before it gets too cold for her to compete.

The Cascade team is coached by Dan Henderson, a former US National Team member and national team coach.

macaroni and sausage, the clouds open up,” said Peterson. “I heard we had thunderstorms here that weekend, but it’s always more interesting when you’re up closer to the thunder and lightening. We weren’t at the highest point, so we weren’t worried about getting hit by lightning, but it’s so bright and so loud that it wakes you up. It sent bright orange glows through the tent, and it’s very loud.”

By the morning the storm had blow away, leaving behind sunshine just in time for the group to learn about safety on the mountain.

“We learned how to walk in glacier boots, with the ice axe and the crampons, and how to travel as a team on a rope,” he said. “The best part of learning about all this stuff was self-arresting, which is basically if you’re sliding down the mountain, you have to arrest yourself because otherwise you pull the whole team down and you’re in a crevasse and you’re done. We had a little slope where we practiced — it’s a lot of fun because it’s like a giant slip and slide.

Being all 17-year-old guys, it was a lot of fun. Our dads’ shoulders and backs didn’t seem to like it — they went for the minimum and we did the maximum.”

Once again the sun dur-ing the day was followed by a massive round of thun-derstor ms , which this time threat-ened their attempt at the summit.

“It was bad because on summit day, you usually try to wake up around 3 a.m. because you want to get up and down the m o u n t a i n before any crevasses get soft,” he said. At 7 a.m. the group finally talked with the guides, try-ing to figure out what to do. Though it was only rain-ing, that presents problems if there are high winds at the top of the mountain, because of the risk of hypo-thermia. The guides told the

group they would wait it out, hoping for a sustained break in the weather by 9 a.m., or they would have to cancel.

“At about 8 a.m. or so the sun started to come out. The guides got us suited up as fast as possible. You just want to get up the moun-tain,” he said. “We started hiking at about 8:30 a.m. and to our credit we were actual-

ly incredibly speedy and we made it up to the top in about four and a half hours. They had expect-ed about six hours.”

“It’s inter-esting when you get up to the top. Mt. Baker is a volcano, so there is a

crater at the top and a vent where [there is] this fan-tastic smelling sulfur gas, which is just terrible. It just does not smell good at all,” said Peterson. “It’s very hard to explain how good it feels to get to the top when you were sitting through a thun-derstorm and it was nice to

be able to summit and keep everyone safe. We really accomplished the mission, signed the register.”

Donations are still being taken, but so far the Petersons have raised just over $12,000. Initially, the goal was $5,000, realistically expecting around $2,500.

“It was easy to fundraise because most people already knew about what I’d been going through. It wasn’t overly difficult fundraising — I would determine the whole thing a success,” said Peterson.

Messling said the pair far exceeded the goal because of their willingness to share their story.

“Through sheer determi-nation and commitment, they accomplished both and have raised over $13,000, which far exceeds their ini-tial fundraising goals,” she said. “A large part of this success is due to their will-ingness to share their sto-ries with friends and family and ask for support. Sam and Charlie have an incred-ible network of supporters, and that is really reflected in what they were able to accomplish.”

The 17th annual Seattle Escape the Rock triathlon will be held on Sunday, Sept. 8, on Mercer Island.

The race will take place at Luther Burbank Park on the Island, start-ing at 8 a.m. with the half-mile swim in Lake Washington. Racers will then take off on an 8.5-mile bike ride that cross-es the I-90 express lanes, before finishing with a 2.5-mile run through the streets of the Island.

“The name Enviro-Sports means that we’re all about putting on events in the most

beautiful locations imaginable,” said David Horning, the Enviro-Sports race producer. “The draw of Mercer Island, the I-90 floating bridge, and the beauty of the surrounding area are just too great for us to ignore.”

This year the Mercer Island High School swim team will be on hand vol-unteering at the event, and at the athlete check-in on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center.

To learn more about participating in the race, visit http://envirosports.com.

softball players recent-ly helped their team to a third-place finish at a national tournament in

Park City, Utah. Makenna Pellerin and

Claire McCarthy play on the 18Gold Mosquito Squad. The team, based out of Federal Way, played

in the Triple Crown Western World Series. They finished in third place in the gold division with a 7-3 record.

Pellerin finished the tournament with a .607 batting average, while McCarthy, who attends Holy Names but lives on Mercer Island, finished

with a .453 average. McCarthy plays catch-

er, while Pellerin played shortstop for the team. Both played on the Mercer Island Little League team, which played in the Juniors World Series softball tournament in Kirkland in 2010.

Island MercerIsland

Serving Mercer Island Since 1947

By Rebecca [email protected]

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s grandchildren once played on the lawn and splashed in the water at the white house on the sprawling estate at the end of a narrow, private lane on the northeast-ern tip of Mercer Island.

The president himself slept in the house.

It was a different era then — those were the last days of the Great Depression, and then the early years of World War II.

Roosevelt’s daughter, Anna Boettiger, who was born in 1906, lived in the 97th Avenue home with her husband, John; two children from a previous marriage, Anna and Curtis; and later the couple’s new baby, John Jr. Many years later, Anna’s older brother, Elliott, resided in Bellevue.

Neighbors’ children played with Anna’s boy, but didn’t know until later on that he was the president’s grandson.

Boettiger’s husband, John, was the publisher of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer from 1936 through 1943. The family had a home in Seattle’s Lawtonwood neighborhood, where they were pictured in 1937 in a portrait that is now part of the Museum of History and Industry

archives. They then resided at the Mercer Island estate, and an old, undated picture of the house has a note that says, “Franklin’s summer home.”

Boettiger and her children left the estate in the spring of 1944, moving into the White House to be her father’s host-ess and speechwriter. Her husband had enlisted in the army. After the war, the cou-ple moved to Phoenix, Ariz., but divorced soon thereafter.

The house is now gray with white trim, and one of its rooms continues to be known as the “President Roosevelt room,” where the president and first lady, Eleanor, stayed while visiting their daughter.

A new generation of chil-dren now plays on the lawn and explores the house. Mick and Marnie Schreck are the third couple to raise a family in the home after the presi-dent’s daughter moved out.

Last week the Schrecks’ daughter and granddaugh-ter, Kelly and Julia Panelli, hosted the first Camp Delano at the house, for the children of friends and relatives, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. Julia will be entering Holy Names Academy as a freshman this fall. A weeklong camp on Vashon Island attended by the Schrecks’ grandchildren became the inspiration for Camp Delano, which filled up with a total of 15 kids within 24 hours of being announced.

The Schrecks have occu-pied the home for 32 years.

When they first moved in, their four children — one daughter and three sons — were all younger than 13. Now, the couple has 11 grandchildren ranging from 8 months to 17 years.

The couple lived in three homes on Mercer Island before their current resi-dence.

“As time wears on, you really realize what a historic home this is,” Marnie said.

Mick, who grew up in Eastern Washington, married Marnie in 1966. He is now retired from a career with Coldwell Banker commer-cial real estate. The couple is nearing their 50th wedding anniversary.

They contemplated mov-ing out three years ago, but have decided to stay long-term.

“I want more grand-kids running around here,”

Marnie said. The family and their his-

toric home were featured in a Mercer Island Reporter arti-cle in October of 1984. The article was written by Laurie

McHale, the mother of actor Joel McHale.

The home was built in the early 1900s in an old apple orchard, according to the article. The exact date

is unknown — either 1905 or 1915 — and nothing is known of the builders or the home’s first occupants. Later,

the Firland tuberculosis san-atorium used the property as an outpost. Small white cottages that once housed patients were added onto the home.

The home was recon-structed in 1935, and original framed blueprints decorate one wall.

The house and property are now a blend of the old and the new. There are still knotty pine paneled walls. The upstairs hasn’t changed, Marnie said. The maids’ quarters have been converted into an office, and the old sewing room is now the laun-dry room. A garage and large deck have been added. The guard house that once served as a post for Secret Service agents is no longer standing, having been taken down due to dry rot.

When the couple bought the house, they subdivided

the four-acre property in order to be able to afford it. A white picket fence now encircles a house between the Schrecks’ home and the waterfront where there was once an expansive lawn all the way down to the shore. Waterfront access at the base of a narrow strip of lawn remains, and the Schrecks share the waterfront with their neighbors to the south. The dock, boathouse and

pumphouse are original, and the couple’s daughter, Kelly Panelli, remembers a high platform and ladder for jumping into the water.

“It’s been fun — a really great house to grow up in,” said Panelli, a South end resi-dent.

Framed photos of Pope John Paul II in private audi-ence with the Schreck fam-ily decorate one wall of the “president’s room.” The

family’s Catholic faith is evident by the many cruci-fixes throughout their home. Mick and Marnie are long-time members of St. Monica Parish.

The house is full of memo-ries — the place of gatherings for graduations, marriages,

funerals. And with each new generation, comes the laugh-ter of the children.
