Annual meeting commemorates 45 years on Mercer Island

By Katie [email protected]

Mercer Island’s Stroum Jewish Community Center is steeped in tradition, but its annual meet-ing Sept. 18 stressed innovation, diversity and community out-reach. The JCC unveiled a new strategic plan that will guide its programs, budget and objectives for the next three years.

“There’s a legacy and a his-tory here, yet the ‘J’ has evolved

over the years,” said CEO Judy Neuman.

The JCC plans to diversify its board of direc-tors, broaden its donor base and reach out to neighbors, along with focusing on four priorities: long-term finan-cial stability, com-munity engage-ment, Early Childhood School and facilities.

“If the whole community is working toward the same end goal, it means that the planning process was worth it,” Neuman said.

The four priorities are things

the JCC has always done, Neuman explained, though honing on in these specific objectives will act as a road map for the board and staff, helping them track their progress both quarterly and annually.

The operating budget of the JCC has grown by 50 percent in recent years, and donations have increased by 35 percent, Neuman said. About 1,000 people walk through the doors of the JCC

every day, going to the school, fit-ness center or many other communal spaces and meeting rooms.

The JCC’s the-ater underwent a $5 million renovation and opened earlier

this year, as part of an effort to expand the JCC’s cultural arts program. The auditorium will be the home of the Seattle Jewish Film Festival, performances by

SJCC to begin new chapter on Island

Reporter StaffThe City installed its electric

vehicle (EV) charging stations about two and a half years ago around the Island.

Until now, this service was pro-vided for free under the terms of the federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant that funded the original installa-tions.

But no more. The City will now charge a fee

of $1/hour for use of the charg-ing stations any time of the day or night.

Presently the City sees about 2,600 unique charging sessions per year, and over the past 12 months have provided almost 15,000 kilowatt hours of electricity to drivers, valued at approximately

$1,400. However, now that the ARRA has expired, the city will now levy a user fee for the service.

“We are seeking to recov-er our costs,” explained Ross Freeman, the commu-

nications and sustainabil-ity coordinator for the city, “while still providing a con-venient service that meets the City’s goals of reducing the overall carbon footprint of the Island and its inhabit-ants.”

Every year, the city spends about $1,000 in mainte-nance and operation fees.

“Although a fee of $1/hr seems minimal, it aligns with many other municipal-ities in the region and with the fee set by the Mercer Island School District for their chargers,” he said. “It should generate about $2,500 after credit card fees are deducted and offset the $2,400 in annual expenses that the City incurs each year.”

There have been reports of some drivers leaving cars overnight at EV stations on the Island.

“It’s true that at some

locations EV owners were parking overnight to take advantage of the free ser-vice,” Freeman said. “Although the fee system isn’t intended to prohibit that, we do certainly antici-pate that the practice will drop off.”

Users can apply for a swipe card, or call the 1-800

number on each charging station to make a payment; to learn more about paying

City Manager Noel Treat announced last week that Mercer Island’s current Deputy Fire Chief Steve Heitman has accepted the position of Fire Chief, following a vacancy that opened last week when outgoing Fire Chief Chris Tubbs resigned to pursue a position in California.

“We are pleased to have this opportunity to promote a highly-qualified candi-date who already knows the community very well,” said Treat. “A thorough internal review of Chief Heitman’s qualifications left us in no doubt that he will be the right fit for the job.”

After first joining Mercer Island Fire Department in 2001 as a Firefighter, Heitman has worked his way up through the various ranks, serving as Deputy

Fire Chief since 2008. He has been

responsible for mul-tiple areas within the fire department, including overseeing emergency manage-ment, apparatus, fire code enforcement, discipline, labor rela-tions, and budget development.

Chief Heitman has a bachelor’s degree in public safety administration from Grand Canyon University, and is currently pursu-ing a master’s degree in homeland security through the Center for Homeland Defense and Security at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.

According to its new plan, the JCC will stay ahead of the curve in early childhood education trends and establish a capi-tal reserve fund, as well as continue to improve the aesthetic and functional quality of its building.

“Facilities are always a challenge,” Neuman said. “We have amazing pro-grams, and a really old building.”

Still, Neuman said that many Islanders may have a dated picture of the JCC in their minds, and that people say they have been “blown away” by recent changes. Though it is a Jewish center, anyone can be member.

“We are evolving inten-tionally and we want the community to participate,” Neuman said.

One of the most sig-nificant shifts in the near future of the JCC involves its overall governance.

Instead of members, the board of directors will now govern the agency. The board will elect offi-cers, vote on bylaws and approve the strategic plan, but will still encourage member input.

“Even if members aren’t voting, there will still be a desire to be transpar-ent about those plans,” said Sarah Tobis, market-ing and communications manager for the JCC.

Neuman said the JCC will continue to hold annual events to celebrate with the community.

“We might turn it into a volunteer appreciation night,” she said. “I think people walked out feeling proud of the leadership, and proud to be a part of the ‘J.’”

SJCC | FROM 1 School briefsDiversity Advisory Committee at MISD

On Friday, Sept. 19, the Mercer Island School District (MISD) held the second meeting of the newly launched Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC). Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano co-chairs the committee along with human resources direc-tor and affirmative action and civil rights coordinator Mark Roschy.

Mercer Island is an increasingly diverse, cul-turally-rich community. Mercer Island public schools are embarking on new path-ways to cultivate global awareness and citizenship. The district is committed to equity of educational opportunity for all students, individual empowerment, equality and fair treatment of all students, and educa-

tional programs and school environments that are non-discriminatory, inclusive and celebrate the individual gifts that all students bring to their classrooms.

“We are gathering a group of parents and asking them to share their expe-riences and those of their students throughout their educational experience,” said Dr. Plano. “Having a conversation about those experiences is the first step toward improving how our school community engages with families from all back-grounds.”

The DAC, which consists of about a dozen parents and volunteers from diverse backgrounds, will meet every four to six weeks dur-ing the 2014-15 school year to share experiences, obser-vations and ideas.

Boundary Committee set up for elementary schools

In 2017, Mercer Island will have a new public elementary school located off S.E. 40th Street near Gallagher Hill Road at the site of the old North Mercer Junior High. When the new school is operational, the question of which neighbor-hoods will go to which of the four elementary schools will have to be answered.

The Mercer Island School Board has autho-rized Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano to establish an 18-20 member Boundary Committee that will be facil-itated by boundary review process expert Richard Withycombe. The school board will also approve a set of values that will guide the decision-making of the Boundary Committee.

Withycombe, from Withycombe Scotten & Associates in Portland, Ore., has facilitated bound-ary review processes in 14 Puget Sound school dis-tricts, including Bellevue, Lake Washington and Issaquah. MISD Director of

Transportation Todd Kelsay will provide technical expertise to the Boundary Committee throughout the process.

The Boundar y Committee, which will include the principals of each elementary school, will launch in October and should conclude work by the end of February 2015. The committee will have nine meetings during that time, and minutes from those meetings will be post-ed online.

In consultation with school principals and PTAs, Dr. Plano will select mem-bers from each school as well as the wider commu-nity. Interested community members who do not have children currently attending elementary schools should contact Dr. Plano for more information by Sept. 19.

“The issues facing the committee will be myriad and complex, so I look for-ward to getting started,” said Dr. Plano.

Survey on bus service to assess Island transporta-tion needs

In three days, King County Metro bus service will be severely cut on the Island. To learn more about the specific routes and schedules to be cut or modified and in order to address serious commu-nity concerns about future mobility, the City Council is exploring various options to ‘buy back’ certain services.

Metro is now preparing to cut bus service begin-ning Sept. 27, to address its

on-going budget shortfall. Although the size of the cuts was recently scaled back slightly due to more favorable sales tax revenue projections, the impact on Mercer Island will be severe.

Several of the routes identified for elimination are important circulators that loop around the Island, or offer transport between key locations such as the Community Center, City Hall, and the Park and Ride lot. The City may consider using circulator vans, on-demand buses, and other means to make up the dif-ference.

Citizens are encouraged to watch City’s homepage

for more information on this topic. As part of its necessary research on cur-rent bus usage, the City has launched a survey of cur-rent riders in partnership with King County Metro. The data gathered from this survey will help inform Council where and when reduced replacement ser-vice is needed most.

In the coming days, sur-veys will be distributed on the Island’s bus routes, or residents can visit http://www.mercergov.org/Page.asp?NavID=3042.

Of the 16 routes that cir-culate on or traverse across the North-end of the Island, 13 will be reduced or elimi-

nated entirely. The following list sum-

marizes the cuts currently planned for Sept. 27 (note that once routes are deleted, they are not expected to return, even if funding begins to recover):

Deletions: Routes 202, 203, 205, 210, 211, 213, 215, 217

Reductions: Routes 204, 212

Beginning Sept. 29, 2014, a new bus route, 894, will replace routes 203 and 205 serving Mercer Island High School. Go to http://www.mercerislandschools.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=107 for more information.

More than 200,000 voting-age adults in Wash-ington state, including 74,773 in King County, are getting a special request to sign up for this

year’s election. None of them are registered to vote right now. All of them have, or will soon receive, a postcard with instruc-tions on how they can do so as part of a focused outreach effort by state and county election officials. The Secretary of State’s Office is using a federal grant to cover the estimated $48,300 cost of mailing the postcards. They have been sent to men and women who are at least 18 years old, have a valid driver’s license or identification card and are not yet a registered voter. According to figures from the state, more than half of

the targeted recipients, 109,391, are between the ages of 18 and 25. Another 44,052 are going to those aged 26-35. Just 58 post-cards went people who are 96 and older. The postcard contains the requirements to be an

eligible voter and the web address for registering online. There also is a toll-free phone number for those who want to obtain a paper registration form to fill out or have questions about their voting status. This is the third year it’s been done. Last year just 10 percent of those who received postcards, actually registered. The state wants to make it as simple as possible. In a story in the Everett Herald, Secretary of State Kim Wyman said she is hoping that potential voters will take heed. “We are hoping citizens who are eligible and want to participate will go online and register by Oct. 6 so they can participate in November,” she said. Let’s also hope that those who are already registered will use their right to vote in November as well.

To the editorArt Uncorked a success

Oh, what a night it was! The inaugu-ral Art Uncorked held on Friday, Sept. 12, in the Town Center was a huge success. Some 500 people mingled in the street, enjoying a beautiful Indian summer evening of wine tasting, art, and food. The music of “On the Rock” and “The Archtops” filled the air as people sipped, shopped and munched. Art Uncorked brought people to the new and previously unused out-door gathering space in the Town Center. It’s the kind of fun community event Mercer Island needs more of.

On behalf of the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce and Mercer Island Visual Arts League, we would like to thank the busi-nesses and volunteers who made the event a success, especially pre-senting sponsors, Mosbacker, Lee & Associates Ameriprise Financial and the City of Mercer Island. Other community-minded enterprises sup-porting the event include: Coldwell Banker Bain, Brad Judy DDS, MI Arts Council, Republic Services, S.R. Schill & Associates, Union Bank, Christine Face & Body, Island Dermatology, Lighthouse Properties and Windermere Real Estate.

Events like Art Uncorked bring peo-ple together to enjoy each other and our wonderful community.

Time running out to speak up on library

Please speak up before we lose our library! The building is scheduled to be closed for a year as a strongly contested remodel plan is pushed through. Ask your City Council to write KCLS demanding the postpon-

ing the remodel issue until after the new KCLS director is chosen.

Mercer Island has the possibility of three approach-es to KCLS:

1) To have the Library Board

(appointed by the Council) work through issues with KCLS. We are attempting to do this. We are fighting to defend what is in place. The board is unprepared to discuss and/or defend rational suggestions, which continue to be blown off, even if the KCLS tone is more “respectful”.

2) To follow a course to create a Municipal Library divorced from KCLS. The majority of MI is happy with the services we receive from KCLS. It is the KCLS approach to community libraries which continues to be a source of unhappiness for the system, not just MI. This is a major factor in their new executive director search.

3) To defer action pending appoint-ment of new leadership at KCLS. This would be a decision for the Council to make with direction to the Library

Board to alter course. Please voice your request to the Council and opin-ions to the MILB!

1 All of the current work could be shelved and revisited.

2 The bond approved updates and promises could be met.

3 The building age would be closer to justifying a major revisioning for future needs.

4 KCLS and MI could have a ‘do-over’ on their shared visioning under the new director.

Our library building will be closed for the next year while the planned remodel takes place. The permits are on the table. It’s past time to speak up to the City Council. Please do it now, before it’s is too late.

I-591 vs. I-594Regarding I-594 and I-591, do not

be misled by the wording on the I-591 signs saying, “Stop Gun Confiscation.” It is a total red herring, designed to confuse the unthinking and the uned-ucated. First, no one is now confis-cating weapons without due process. Second, we already have stringent laws against search and seizure without due process including weapons.

I-594 is not a panacea; there will still be unlawful sales of guns but many less, as proven by the 16 states which now have similar statutes. I-591 would continue the status quo and ban the state from instituting more back-ground checks, while I-594 will save lives. Shall we save lives or sell guns to felons and other irresponsible people? It’s our choice.

Carolyn Hickox SmithSeptember 18, 1930 – September 12, 2014Born in Seattle to John D. Hickox

and Carolyn Harrington Hickox. Carolyn grew up in Laurelhurst and attended Laurelhurst Grade School before graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1947. She went on to attend the University of Washington where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Mortar Board, as well as the Totem Club and Phi Alpha Sigma. Additionally, she was the art editor for the University of Washington campus magazine, Columns.

Carolyn was a gifted and talented artist and after graduating from the UW went to work for the advertising firm of Cole and Weber. She later worked for United Theaters and Safeco Insurance. She remained active in Kappa and Mortar Board alumni activities throughout her life.

In 1954, she married Mackenzie Smith, a student in his last year of medical school. For the next five years they lived in Baltimore, MD, Cincinnati, OH, and Vallejo, CA, while Mackenzie finished his medical training and served in the military. They then settled on Mercer Island where she lived for the next 58 years.

Carolyn is survived by her husband of nearly 60 years, Dr. Mackenzie Smith, her children, David Smith, John Smith, Carolyn Day (John), Mackenzie Smith (Kristin), Douglas Smith (Christy) and 10 grandchildren. In addition to her artistic talents, Carolyn was well known for her sharp wit and playful sense of humor, which lives on through her descendants. She will be very much missed by her family and friends. A private celebration of her life will occur at a later date.

The family would like to thank Drs. Walter Smith and Kathryn Crossland and the nurses and staff of Overlake Medical Oncology for their competent and compassionate care.

Police

resident arrested on suspicion of trespassing

By Katie [email protected]

A Mercer Island resident has been found trespass-ing at local schools several times in recent months.

The suspect, a 56-year-old white male, was arrested on suspicion of trespassing at West Mercer Elementary on Sept. 11 at 4:53 p.m. He later booked into Issaquah City Jail.

“The principal stated that there was a man sitting shirtless at an outdoor table on the school’s blacktop between the main building and the portables,” accord-ing to the police report filed by detective Mike Seifert.

The same man had been charged with trespassing at Country Village Day School on Aug. 11.

The suspect claimed he didn’t know that he had been banned from all Mercer Island School District prop-erties, said police detective Pete Erickson.

“He thought he was only restricted from being on

the North Mercer campus,” according to the police report.

The suspect was observed trespassing three separate times, on Aug. 6, 7 and 11, at Country Village. He was served with written notice of trespass on Aug. 13, which stated that he was not permitted to be on any school district property until Aug. 12, 2015.

School staff said that the suspect loitered around the parking lot and walkway by the Country Village Day Care, and that he ran off when confronted.

According to a report filed by Erickson on Aug. 13, the suspect acknowl-edged that his behavior was suspicious and said that he had gone to the old North Mercer Junior High School, which has been the loca-tion until recently of Youth Theatre Northwest, to look at it. He said he would not go there again, and signed the written notice.

Erickson also wrote that he conducted a crimi-nal history investigation regarding the suspect. It returned with an arrest for DUI and domestic violence out of Alabama.

City offers free class for dog-owners

Does your dog listen to you? Did you know that voice control means the immediate recall of an animal when signaled or called, and within sight of the owner? Do you know that dogs must be under voice control to be off-leash in certain areas?

“The free voice-control classes for dog owners are designed to supplement the City’s enhanced outreach work around this issue on the Island, and partly in response to recent com-plaints about off-leash dogs,” said Ross Freeman the communications coor-dinator for the city. “Rather than more extreme mea-sures, the City is first pur-suing an educational pro-gram, which also includes

extensive targeted outreach by our community policing officer at known problem-areas.”

The free class is between 10 and 11:30 a.m. on Saturday Sept. 27, at the Luther Burbank Park amphitheater. Learn how to set your dog and your-self up for success in public settings and discover voice control skills to practice with your dog, even in the presence of distractions.

Note that this class is for people. No dogs are allowed at class.

The class will be taught by a certified professional dog trainer. Register either online for course #15179 or by calling 275-7609. All ages are welcome. For more information on leash laws, please visit www.mercer-gov.org/leashlaw.

Please leave dogs at home.

Teen named ‘Outstanding Philanthropist’

By Katie [email protected] Kat Tiscornia is a horse-

back rider, a public speak-er and a cancer survivor. She’s also 15 years old.

The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Washington Chapter named Tiscornia the 2014 Outstanding Youth Philanthropist last week, and will honor her and other philanthropic leaders on Nov. 5 at The Westin Hotel in down-town Seattle.

“I’m honored to receive this award. It means a lot to me,” she said.

Diagnosed in the spring of 2013, the Mercer Island High School sophomore has become not only a survivor, but also an inspi-ration to others.

Tiscornia, with her growing band of “Kat's Crew” supporters, has raised more than $180,000 for pediatric cancer research. Through her speaking engagements – in support of Seattle Children’s Hospital, where she battled through nine months of chemotherapy and surgery to remove a

tumor in her right thigh – she hopes to help peo-ple see childhood cancer through a new lens.

But her first speaking engagement wasn’t at a hospital. It was her eighth grade graduation. Though she said she feared pub-lic speaking before, she gained confidence when a teacher told her that she could be a voice for kids who are sick.

“I can’t put into words the challenge of hav-ing five inches of your femur removed and going through intense chemo-therapy,” said her father, Tim Tiscornia. “The fact that she has the strength to speak at these events and raise money for the next teen that has to go through this… It’s pretty amazing.”

There are about 225 diagnosed cases of Ewing’s sarcoma a year in North America. Tiscornia hopes to get involved in the drive for a cure and better treat-ments.

“I’m doing very well now,” she said, saying she is back at high school and is able to ride her horse, Scooter, again. “I’m one of the fortunate kids.”

efforts and speaking events, visit kats-crew.tumblr.com.

‘BrainBands’ are sold on Amazon.com

By Joseph [email protected]

Mercer Island High School sophomore Marcus Schiller knew he was born to be an entrepreneur. Growing up with an entre-preneurial father, he was bound to catch the business bug.

So when the 15-year-old’s latest entrepreneurial ven-ture showed up for purchase

on Amazon.com a couple weeks ago, it should’ve come with little surprise.

Marcus is the brainchild of BrainBands, multi-colored neon bands that serve as “a homework list for the wrist” to help stu-dents remember to do their homework. The package includes five silicone bands, a carabineer clip and a cus-tomizable chart to assign colors to specific tasks.

When homework is assigned in a specific sub-ject, students remove that band and put it on their

wrist. When homework is done, they attach that band back to the clip. Distributed through Sunrise Identity, BrainBands will also be available online at Kmart.com by the end of the month.

Since creating his home-work reminder tool, Marcus has pitched BrainBands to Amazon, Office Max and Costco, while also showing them off on KOMO news. While BrainBands don’t have a huge advertising budget, Marcus believes his product has seen progress

since hitting the market.“It’s all really new to me,

so it’s hard to get a gauge on the direct sales aspect of it,” Marcus said. “That being said, I’d say the marketing aspect and growth aspect and building the brand name has been beyond what we’d imagined and it’s going just as we’d hoped.”

Marcus’ father, Michael, who has over 20 years expe-rience with product devel-opment, worked with his

Zhang to attend medical leader-ship event in D.C.

Islander junior Gordon Zhang has been select-ed to attend the Future Medical Leaders event in Washington, D.C.

Zhang, will hear from Nobel laureates and National Medal of Science winners, get advice from medical school deans and spend time with teen prodi-gies and other highly-moti-vated high school students.

“I offer my congratu-lations to Gordon on this exceptional achievement,”

said MIHS Principal Vicki Puckett. “This once-in-a-lifetime event is an opportu-nity to connect with experts and share experiences with other talented students while exploring innovative ideas about the future.”

Confirmed speakers include Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., the director of the National Institutes of Health, Fred Murad, M.D., Ph.D., winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in physiology-medicine and prodigies like 20-year-old Shree Bose and 19-year-old Brittany Wenger, the grand prize winners of the 2011 and 2012 Google Science Fairs.

Congratulations to Drake Willard from Mercer Island Boy Scout Troop 647. Willard attained the rank of Eagle Scout at his Board of Review at Bellevue City Hall on Sept. 4. Willard is a junior at Mercer Island High School and is a member of the Wind Ensemble, the Marching Band and the boys soccer team. For his Eagle project, Drake and his fellow scout volun-teers renovated the play room at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Seattle, where he is a parishioner. On his Facebook page, Willard said that attain-ing the Eagle Scout rank was by far the proudest moment of his life. He wanted to thank all of the people that helped him along the way.

son developing BrainBands. Relying pri-marily on word-of-mouth marketing, Marcus said he’s been elated watching BrainBands build legs on its own. Schools are order-ing BrainBands directly for entire classes, or in one instance, for an entire mid-dle school. They’ve also gotten calls from senior centers, using BrainBands to serve as helpful remind-ers for medication. A byproduct has been con-sumers using

BrainBands as a helpful reminder tool for more than just homework.

“We knew it was a great reminder tool for any-one to use and that there were more uses than being a typical home-work reminder for stu-dents from a student,” said Marcus. “Without even pushing other ways to use BrainBands, people are finding themselves there are other uses. We saw the other uses, but we didn’t think it’d be at the fore-front as it is currently.”

While excited about his son’s business ven-ture, Michael stresses his son’s primary focus is school, and that his son won’t be giving up his academic career to focus on BrainBands. But he adds that Marcus’ role as a partner with Sunrise Identity is very real, with Marcus meet-ing with the Sunrise Identity

owner to discuss strategy and next steps. In pitch meetings, it is Marcus who takes the lead.

While Marcus admits he hasn’t really seen BrainBands in the hall-ways of MIHS, pretty soon he will be presenting to the school and hopes to make BrainBands available in the student store. When he’s not giving presenta-tions, Marcus keeps busy working on other projects. He’s currently working on expanding the BrainBands package to include a type of binder or backpack.

But for now, Marcus remains focused on the growth of his current proj-ect.

“I know it’s my job to make [BrainBands] suc-ceed. I can’t hope and then money will appear in my hand,” he said. “The launch is exciting, but it’s real-ly about what will come [later on in the future].”

BrainBands can be pur-chased online at Amazon.

Islanders dealt first loss in 3A title rematch


Last season’s top two 3A state volleyball teams were in town Friday night, squar-ing off for a rematch of last year’s title game. And while Friday’s game saw some similarities to last November’s contest, the ending ultimately played out differently this time around.

Fighting back after drop-ping the opening two sets against the team it beat for the 3A state title, Mercer Island volleyball fell in the deciding fifth set of its rematch with Holy Names Academy, losing 3-2 Friday night at Mercer Island High School. The loss was Mercer Island’s first of the season.

Just like the last time

the two teams met, the Islanders and Cougars went

the distance in a competi-tive five-set affair. After the

game, coach Susan McKay said playing Holy Names

served as the Islanders’ first big test of the young season.

“We really wanted to play them again this year, not just for the rematch aspect but because we know they’re a really good team and we know they’d be great competition for us,” she said. “They are an excellent team. They play really good defense and it was tough.”

Mercer Island played from behind throughout the first two sets, falling 25-17 and 25-15. Its only lead, a 2-0 advantage to open the second match, became a 7-2 deficit after a Holy Names side out, with server Maeva Osemene leading the charge.

But the Islanders man-aged to turned things around, winning the next two sets 25-17 and 25-18. McKay said after falling

Wolverines use three third-quarter touchdowns to pull away from Islanders


After a strong first half that saw Mercer Island leading the six-time defending 3A state champion Bellevue Wolverines on two separate occasions, Bellevue used three third-quarter touchdowns to pull away from the Islanders 42-21 Friday, Sept. 19 at Bellevue High School.

Few would’ve expected a contest dead-locked 21-21 at halftime, but the Islanders had the Wolverines on their heels at times in the first half of Friday’s matchup.

Bellevue running back Yofeil Wyle gave the Wolverines their first lead with a five-yard touchdown run, his first of four rushing touchdowns of the night. Alfonso Gonzalez responded for Mercer Island with a 77-yard touchdown pass to Jack Counihan to tie the game 7-7 in the first quarter. The Islanders took the lead in the second after Gonzalez found Steven Duchaine in the end zone with an 11-yard touchdown pass. After the Wolverines responded with a 15-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Gilchrist,

a one-yard touchdown run by Gonzalez gave Mercer Island a 21-14 lead with just over four minutes left in the half. The Wolverines evened the score with another rushing touchdown from Wyle from two yards out just before the half.

But the Wolverines held the Islanders scoreless in the second half.

Bellevue scored the go-ahead touchdown after an unsuccessful onside kick by Mercer Island to open the second half, with Ercle Terrell running it in from 20 yards out.

The Wolverines extended their lead after recovering a fumble on the Islanders’ ensu-ing possession inside Mercer Island’s own 5-yard line. Yofeil Wyle extended Bellevue’s

lead with a four-yard touchdown run to give the Wolverines a two-touchdown advantage. Wyle scored his second touch-down of the quarter on Bellevue’s next pos-sesion, running it in from two yards out for the game’s final score.

Gonzalez finished the night throwing for 308 yards, two touchdowns and no inter-ceptions while also rushing for a touch-down. Jack Counihan had six receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown.

Mercer Island will take on Juanita at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26 at Islander Stadium. The Rebels are 3-0 this season and are com-ing off a 45-19 win over Lake Washington.

The Mercer Island boys water polo team traveled to Beaverton, Ore. to play against Oregon’s best in the annual West Metro Water Polo Tournament. The Islanders won five straight games to make it to the championship game, but fell just short in the tournament final, losing in sudden death overtime.

The Islanders began the tournament by rolling through pool play dispatch-ing Westview, Lincoln and Sunset by a combined score of 48-3. Advancing to the winner’s bracket, the Islanders beat Lake Oswego 13-6.

In the tournament semifinal, the Islanders faced the Newberg Tigers, last year’s Oregon State runners-up. The Islanders held a slim 3-2 lead at the end of the first half but pulled away in the second half, outscoring the Tigers 6-1 to end the game with a 9-3 victory.

The tournament final pitted Mercer Island against Oregon’s three-time reigning state water polo champions, Southridge. The Skyhawks jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first quar-ter before Jack Larkin connected with Trevor Gullstad for a score at 2:06. The quarter closed with the Islanders down 4-3. At the end of the half, the

Islanders remained one goal behind, trailing 6-5. Mercer Island was able to tie it up in the third off of a Conner Vacca score but missed an opportunity to go ahead on a man-up play.

In the fourth quarter, the Islanders fell behind again by one goal until Erik Raisys put in a skip shot at 1:23 to tie it at seven all. The Skyhawks fired toward the net as time expired but did not score sending the game into over-time. Southridge won the sprint and on their first possession drove down the middle to score the deciding goal, taking the tournament final over the Islanders 8-7.

Islanders survive Roosevelt in OT thriller

Earlier in the week, the Islanders prevailed in overtime against league opponent Roosevelt, a team that fin-ished in third place in last season’s state tournament. Heading into the game the Islanders expected a chal-lenge finding its way past Roosevelt’s goalie Jake Gordon, a member of the US Junior National Team. But Mercer Island’s goalie Hunter Peshkin showed his own chops, registering 15 saves for the game.

After the Islanders finished the first

quarter down 3-2, Mercer Island ener-gized in the second, winning the sprint to set the pace and scoring four unan-swered goals. Roosevelt found the net for three straight goals of its own, with two goals scored on man-up. Mercer Island’s Erik Raisys responded, con-necting with Conner Vacca to head into the half up 7-6.

Mercer Island struggled during the third quarter and was outscored 4-1 by the Roughriders. The Islanders played from behind the rest of the game until Topher Lacrampe connected with Anthony Pedreira to tie it up at 11-11 with 1:07 left to go in the fourth. Peshkin had a crucial block with four seconds left in regulation to force the game into overtime.

In overtime, Anthony Pedreira scored twice off of assists from Jack Larkin to preserve the win for Mercer Island. Pedreira led the Islanders with 8 goals for the game.

Mercer Island took on Inglemoor after the Reporter deadline Sept. 23. The Islanders will host state water polo champions and league rival Bellevue Tuesday, Sept. 30 at Mercer Island Country Club. Mercer Island fell to Bellevue 12-9 in last season’s water polo state championship game.

Water polo second at West Metro tourneydown 2-0, she told her team she was ready for a five-set match, something the Islanders hadn’t seen yet this year.

“I was disappointed in how long it took for them to really get started and play our game,” she said. “We were on our heels, playing timid and mak-ing a lot of stupid men-tal errors for the first two games. Once we finally got it together in the third and fourth, I was really proud of how they played.”

Mercer Island carried its momentum into the fifth set, claiming an early 4-0 advantage and extended its lead to 7-2. But behind the serving of Jackie Labonite, the Cougars fought back to claim an 8-7 lead. Ahead 10-9 with Angelou Dunton at the serving line, the Cougars scored the game’s final five points.

Brooke Behrbaum had 11 kills and five blocks for Mercer Island. Caroline Hamilton had

nine kills and six aces, Olivia Hughes and Kelly Behrbaum each posted eight kills and two blocks, and Natalie Robinson had 11 digs, 40 assists and four aces.

McKay said after-ward she saw some of the Islanders’ inexperi-ence show at the end of the fifth set. While the Islanders came out intense and excited, the team struggled to finish executing the little things to close out the game. She said going forward, the Islanders would have to improve their poise and mental focus.

“We came out really strong at the beginning of the fifth game and we had all the momentum, and then we started making mental mistakes and giv-ing away points and we just completely collapsed. It was hard to watch,” she said. “We’ll learn a lot from it. You can learn a lot from losses.”

Covenant Shores Boasts new Lighthouse Gallery

by Greg Asimakoupoulos Special to the Reporter

There is a new art gal-lery on Mercer Island. It is located on the cam-pus of Covenant Shores Retirement Community. The gallery is a dream come true for Owen Hall, resident artist and former chairman of the Covenant Shores arts commission.

“Owen had a vision that the corridor that connects Building 6 with the cam-pus Health Center could become an art gallery,” explains Nancy Axell, cur-rent chair of the commis-sion. “The arts commission members voted to proceed with this project to bring original art to the residents of our campus.”

The commission decided to name it “The Lighthouse Gallery” since the official name of Building 6 is “The Lighthouse.”

The gallery opened last spring with a trial run fea-turing works by members of the Covenant Shores art commission.

According to Axell, “Covenant Shores Executive Director, Bruce Erickson, was very supportive of our plan and helped us secure a sign at the Entrance to the gallery. He overcame his fear of the walls being riddled with hundred of nail holes. I convinced him that art was more important and nail holes could be filled.”

Earlier in the summer, the art commission invit-ed members of the Mercer Island Visual Arts League

(MIVAL) to the new gal-lery and see if their mem-bers would be interested in displaying their art in the Lighthouse Gallery.

The response was enthu-siastic and plans were set in motion to launch a MIVAL exhibit in September.

The exhibit opened Sept. 14 and features 25 artists (including four members of MIVAL who are also Covenant Shores residents) showing 56 works of art in a variety of mediums. The exhibit will run through Jan. 9, 2015.

Kudos to Maryhill! Former Islander Craig Leuthold and his wife Vicki walked away with top honors at the larg-est ever San Francisco International Wine Competition in late June.

After judging more than 4,500 wines from 1,400 wineries, 26 states and 31 countries, the 2014 San Francisco International Wine Competition awarded Washington State’s Maryhill Winery as “Winery of the Year.” In addition to the overall honor, Maryhill won 30 awards for its wines at this competition, including four gold, 11 bronze and 10 silver plus two “Best of Show” and three Double Golds.

The two “Best of Show” were 2011 Mourvedre from Sugarloaf Vineyards in the Rattlesnake Hills and 2011 Grenache, Proprietor’s Reserve from Columbia Valley.

Now in its 34th year, the San Francisco International Wine Competition is the largest and arguably the most-respected international competition in the United States. Each year a panel of nearly 60 judges, includ-ing journalist and industry professionals from around the world, participate in a blind tasting to ensure

integrity.“It’s been a

thrilling year for Maryhill,” said Leuthold. “We’ve had big wins at the Seattle Wine Awards, Northwest Wine Summit and Riverside International

but winning Winery of the Year at a competition of this scale is an incred-ible achievement for our entire winemaking team and Washington wines as a whole.”

Leuthold is a member of a group of Mercer Island High School graduates who are now winemakers and/or winery owners.

Other graduates are Paul Portteus and Marilyn Dehn Portteus of Portteus Winery, class of 1967 and 1966 respectively; Chris Howell of Cain Vineyard and Winery of Napa Valley, class of 1970; Leslie Lind Balsley, William Church Winery in Woodinville, class of 1976; Andrew Lodmell of Lodmell Cellars in Walla Walla; class of 1982, Nina Buty Foster of Buty Winery in Walla Walla, class of 1993; Anna Shafer of aMaurice Winery in Walla Walla, class of 1997.

Almost all these “kids” have parents who still live on Mercer Island. Other grads to still be contacted are Bill Owen formerly of OS Winery and Paige Stevens of Stevens Winery.

Craig and Vicki worked in Spokane. Craig sold plastic raw materials for 10 years; Vicki sold coffee for her family’s business. They joined the North Idaho Enological Society in 1988. Craig served as president while Vicki was program director, meeting with winemakers and distribu-tors across the country.

Many wineries have baby steps. They start out in a garage. Maybe they piggyback on another winery’s storefront. Craig and Vicki created a des-tination winery as soon as their doors opened. Visitors were greeted with a 3,000 square foot tasting room, picnic grounds and

a 4,000 seat amphithe-ater which hosts summer concerts. Productions has grown from 4,300 cases to 80,000 cases today. It is the 10th largest winery in Washington State. There are now over 700 wineries.

“We bottled 51 differ-ent wines this year from 33 different varietals sourced from 15 different growers and 26 different vineyards,” commented Leuthold. “We launched our vineyard series of wines which are vineyard-designated from some very prestigious vineyards in Walla Walla, Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain Rattle Snake Hills and Wahluke Slope.”

Wineries are usually picturesque, but Maryhill’s scenery is breathtaking. Overlooking the Columbia River, guests can see across the river at Mt. Hood.

In the tasting room, the Leutholds found and res-cued a 20-foot bar quarter-sawn from tiger oak in the late 1800s. It is embellished with carvings and inset

mirrors. The tasting room welcomes 75,000 guests each year, making it the fifth most visited winery in the state.

Craig and Vicki’s journey into wine resembles many winery principals.

“We started Maryhill based on our intense love of wine. Recognizing the Washington wines were on the cusp of greatness,” said Leuthold, “we wanted to be involved. The Washington Wine Commission had it right with their motto: ‘The Perfect Climate for Wine.’”

“We truly have the best raw materials to work with,” Leuthold continued. “Year after year the quality of the grapes is outstanding.”

Maryhill Winery is located at 9774 Highway

14 in Goldendale. It is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

Azose Commercial Properties moves to Mercer Island


Azose Commercial Properties, formerly Morris Piha Real Estate Services, Inc., recently moved headquarters from its Bellevue office to Mercer Island. Its new office is at 8451 S.E. 68th St. in the South-end Shopping Center.

Azose Commercial Properties CEO David Azose said the company changed names to better reflect ownership. Azose partnered with the com-pany’s founder and for-mer owner Morris Piha in 1984. Piha died in 2013 after battling cancer, with Azose taking over as CEO.

Azose and Piha were cous-ins through marriage.

“The rebrand reflects who we are. It makes sense to rebrand so people know who we are and kind of move into the next gen-eration,” said Azose, whose son Michael and brothe Jay serve as the c o m p a -ny’s vice p r e s i -dents.

B as e d out of Bellevue for the last 15 y e a r s , Azose, a Mercer Island resident of 26 years, said clientele ties helped drive the real estate company's move to the Island.

“When we were looking for locations, Mercer Island was high on my list,"”he

said. “Mercer Island is a fairly affluent community with lots of local business owners. We have a lot of investors who are doctors, attorneys and accountants who reside here.”

Locally owned and oper-ated since Piha opened the company's doors in 1965, the family-owned business offers leasing and broker-age services, with its pri-mary focus being prop-erty management. Azose Commercial Properties manages more than 3.5 million square feet of prop-erty throughout the greater Puget Sound region, with properties in Bellingham, Olympia and Bainbridge Island.

On Mercer Island, Azose Commercial Properties has managed the leasing for the Rite Aid shop-ping center, Mercer Island Veterinary Clinic and the True Value move to keep them on Mercer Island.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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