One of the biggest parks projects scheduled for next year is a dock replacement at Groveland Beach, which will cost almost $1 million.

The Parks and Recreation department’s goal is to extend the lives of Mercer Island’s beloved parks and beaches, including the big three: Groveland, Clarke Beach and Luther Burbank.

Over the past couple years, the parks maintenance team has seen the deterioration of Groveland Park in particular, which presents a safety concern, said Parks Superintendent Jason Kintner.

Open House on new commuter parking options

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER

| www.mi-reporter.com

DOCK | FROM 1

The City of Mercer Island and Sound Transit are working together to find additional commuter parking options to address the significant demand at the Mercer Island Park-andRide.

Between 5 and 7 p.m. tonight at the Community and Event Center, attendees will learn more about the integration of bus and light rail service on Mercer Island.

Two parking concepts have been identified. The City of Mercer Island and Sound Transit staff will introduce the preliminary designs, answer questions and hear from residents about neighborhood priorities.

“It’s a big project, but it’s a big dock,” Kintner said. “Water projects aren’t cheap.”

The Groveland dock was built in 1965 with untreated wood. Kintner said the department hired consultants and divers to do comprehensive studies on the underwater structures at Groveland, Luther Burbank and Clarke Beach, and found that Groveland’s expected useful life extends only one or two years.

The project will ideally include replacing the elevated dock and removing the concrete bulkhead to restore a more natural shoreline, Kintner said.

“The thing that the community loves so much is the fact that it has the elevated platform, so that’s a dock that you could actu-

We could talk about not replacing the smaller dock, which would save some costs.”

The parks department had a meeting on Aug.

7 to discuss the needed repairs with interested residents, and to incorporate ideas and feedback into the Groveland Park design.

underground parking, affordable housing units, pedestrian connections, special landscaping and site design features or transit-oriented design features.

“Many of the plazas provided aren’t really open to the public or enticing to use,” Greenberg said, because they might be surrounded by buildings or seemingly unaccessible.

“The vision is still good.

We’re just looking at how it’s implemented.”

Parking and the proposed Center for the Arts will be taken into consideration, Greenberg said, but the first phase of the Town Center planning project will mainly involve defining weaknesses of the current code, and looking at what’s “new and exciting in urban planning and design.” That phase is expected to be completed in January.

The second phase, beginning next year, will involve more public outreach. The city held a Town Center vision conversation in May with about three dozen people.

According to the 2004 plan, retailers and other commercial services are scattered throughout the Town Center and are not conducive to ‘browsing.’

Some Islanders might say that’s still true today.

Everybody has different priorities when it comes to the Town Center, Greenberg said, whether it’s walkability, stronger retail or other interests.

“We want to take into consideration what the community wants, and the consultant will help us with that,” Greenberg said.

Transportation Benefit District has first meeting The Mercer Island Transportation Benefit District, an independent taxing district governed by the City Council, met for the first time on Nov. 17.

On the agenda was adopting bylaws and approving a $20 annual car tab fee.

According to the proposed bylaws, regular board meetings will be held at 6 p.m. on the first Monday of April of each year and the first Monday of October of even-numbered years.

The City Council created a Transportation Benefit District on Oct. 20, 2014.

State law requires a majority vote of the TBD Board to establish a fee, which is capped at $20 without voter approval. In order to increase the fee, the state legislature would need to increase the limit set in RCW 82.80.140(2)(a) and the Mercer Island TBD would need to adopt a new ordinance establishing the higher fee, according to the meeting agenda.

After the TBD Board enacts an ordinance imposing the fee, the Department of Licensing can begin col-

lecting it six months later. If the fee is enacted on Nov. 17, it would start to be collected on May 1, 2015.

“TBD monies would most likely be used to fund arterial street projects contained in the City’s 2015-2020 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and beyond,” said Finance Director Chip Corder.

The city estimates a $20 vehicle license fee will raise approximately $350,000 per year. After administrative costs (mostly audit and insurance costs), approximately $335,000 per year will be generated for transportation improvement purposes.

Water utility rates will rise , money set aside for repairs, updates At its Nov. 13 meeting, the Mercer Island Utility Board unanimously endorsed creating a $550,000 fund for a water advisory action plan in coming years.

The City Council discussed the placeholder and finalized utility rates at its Nov. 17 meeting, after the Reporter deadline.

In October, the board

approved a $250,000 amount in the aftermath of the ‘boil water’ advisories.

Since then, city maintenance staff, with the state Department of Health (DOH) and Confluence Engineering, has developed an action plan that would require another $300,000 more than the original estimate.

The $550,000 would fund two capital improvements required by the Department of Health, including upgrading all airvac vaults ($500,000) and installing nine additional water sampling stations ($50,000).

After these capital improvements are completed in 2015, the $550,000 in annual funding would potentially be used to install a permanent, automated chlorine injection system, if deemed cost effective, or invest in permanent, mechanical reservoir mixers ($100,000), install intelligent, automatic flushing and monitoring stations ($50,000 per station) and/ or enhance the water main capital replacement program ($550,000).

If the Council sticks with the $250,000 amount, utility rates will go up 7 percent in 2015 and 5.5 percent in 2016. The $550,000 option will raise rates 8 percent in 2015 and 7 percent in 2016.

The city is also currently updating its Comprehensive Plan, which the Council is set to adopt in April of next year.

Virginia Etta Olsen

Virginia Etta Olsen left us and went to be with the Lord on October 31, 2014.

She passed away at Covenant Shores Retirement Community on Mercer Island at the age of 83.

Virginia was born in Seattle,Washington, November 18, 1930 to Bertha (Wallace) and Henry Keel. She married Theodore (Ted) Olsen on Mercer Island Oct. 28, 1949 and they raised their family there.

She had several administrative positions over the years but loved being an audiovisual administrator for Interlake High School the most. She and Ted designed and built a home at Kala Point, Pt. Townsend, where they enjoyed their retirement and hosting family and friends.

When Ted passed away, Virginia moved to Covenant Shores and became involved with the community, volunteering with typing and writing for the newsletter and closed circuit television. She believed strongly in sharing her faith and love of Jesus and tried to pass this on in her writing.

Preceding Virginia in death was her husband, Ted. Surviving her are a daughter, Linda Elliott, a son, Jay and his wife Connie Olsen; grandchildren include, Luke and his wife Jenny Elliott, Sara Elliott, John Elliott, Greg Olsen and Katie Olsen. She was a loving and kind wife, mother and grandmother.

Virginia O’Brien

Virginia O’Brien passed away on the sixth of November, 2014, in Bellevue,WA after a ferocious fight with many maladies.

She was born the twenty-third of April, 1923 in Spokane, WA, but had been a long-time resident of Mercer Island for over 57 years. She loved the Island and kept its history deep in her heart, along with whom she met and with whom she had deep friendships. (Mom had no problem making friends and keeping them!)

She was an executive secretary at Boeing for several years where she met eyes with Dad from across a crowded office and the rest is a beautiful love story ... they were married for over 67 years!

Virginia is survived by her beloved husband Charles, daughters Janis (Mark) and Sharon (Michael), both from Seattle, Grandchildren Ryan (Rian), Jeffrey (Katie), Samantha and Jackson, Great-grandchildren Caroline, Henry and Danielle.

Virginia enjoyed spending precious time with her family and friends always being the ultimate hospitable hostess. She was always the first one in the neighborhood to be there for anyone with troubles and also played a mean hand of bridge. Virginia was also a fabulous cook. Above anything else Virginia loved Jesus and was always so encouraged with every day’s devotional time.

On November 22, 2014, Virginia will be laid to rest in a private entombment followed by a public memorial service at the Florence Henry Memorial Chapel in the Highlands, Shoreline, WA at 12:30pm. This will be followed by a celebration of her life at The Seattle Golf Club, 210 NW 145th St., Seattle, WA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests gifts be made to Crista Ministries, Seattle, WA.

Melanie Wroe

MelanieWroe, age 63, died peacefully at her Mercer Island home on October 27, 2014 from non-small cell lung cancer.

Born December 29, 1950 in Fargo, North Dakota, Melanie graduated from North High School. She then went on to complete a degree in philosophy from the University of North Dakota, where she majored in philosophy and graduated with her RN. Melanie completed her education at the University of Washington, where she received a Master’s in Nursing at the University of Washington with emphasis in psychiatric nursing. She then started the ERIT program at Valley Medical Center in Renton and became the Director of Nursing Education at Highline Community College. Melanie was a compassionate and dedicated instructor with awe-inspiring energy directed towards helping faculty and students.

Over her years, Melanie created a warm, loving family with her husband, Allen Sussman, and sons Zach and Sam. Melanie’s dedication to family was her passion, such that she retired from nursing with the birth of her second child. She was active in their education as an art docent, book club instructor, dance chaperone, and water polo mother. Melanie continued to support and guide her children through adulthood in her roles as a fraternity parent representative.

Melanie was an accomplished barbershop performer, judge, and coach on regional, national and international stages within the Sweet Adeline organization. She competed in numerous quartets and choruses, geographically spread across United States (California, Washington, and Minnesota), as well as Vancouver, British Columbia. As an internationally renowned coach, Melanie developed close friendships with members in Sweden and Australia/New Zealand. Her choreography and showmanship coaching sessions were often recalled as therapeutic to the soul as well as helpful on the scorecard.

Melanie is survived by her husband Allen, sons Zach and Sam, sister Jan, and brother Steve. She is preceded in death by her mother Elizabeth, father Howard, and brother Mark.

A funeral was held on November 16th at Benaroya Hall, a reception followed. Dr. Louise Irving officiate the ceremony.

Schools launch Learning Services Advisory group

By Reporter Staff

On Oct. 30, 2014, the Mercer Island School District held the inaugural meeting of the Learning Services Advisory Committee. The executive director of learning and technology services for the district, Jennifer Wright, co-chairs the committee with director of learning services, Fred Rundle.

“The purpose of the Learning Services Advisory Committee is to afford opportunities for parents, staff and administrators to provide input in the instructional program of the Mercer Island School District,” Wright said during the first meeting. “Members will act

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER

as a sounding board for learning services and our meetings will provide a venue for stakeholders to offer input and feedback.

We want as many people informed about the district as possible.”

The committee has two primary goals. The first is disseminating information about current and upcoming learning service initiatives, including timeline, students impacted and funding implications.

The second is for the committee to gather and provide input, perspective and insight on programs currently in place as well as potential instructional programs not yet adopted.

Topics discussed in the first meeting included kindergarten through second grade and third through fifth grade literacy curriculums, the Tier 2 reading program, Smarter Balanced assessments,

graduation requirements, and the feasibility of elementary-level foreign language.

The committee of nearly 20 people is made up of parents, staff and administrators who represent a wide perspective on the district. Members include Jan Brousseau, Mary Jo Budzius, Julia DeBroux, Jessie Dye, Susan Empey, Debbie Hanson, Jill Hawkins, Allison Janshen, Andy LaBadie, Kathy McDonald, Daniela Melgar, Heather McLyman, Rik Norman, Vicki Puckett, Trevor Selby, Tonya Van Orden and Mary Kay Woolston.

The committee will meet four times throughout the school year.

Sweezey’s boat, a vintage Chris Craft named the ‘Tern,’ was found adrift a few hours after Sweezey disappeared on Lake Washington in July of 2012.

FOUND | FROM 1 situations.

Engdahl-Johnson said it was one of the most extensive drowning victim recovery efforts ever performed in Washington State, searching a majority of the lake bottom north of 520.

“Most of the time, when someone drowns, you know where they are,” EngdahlJohnson said. “It’s amazing how they found him.”

A company called Seabotix Inc. was looking for the hydroplane with sonar equipment by Webster Point, which is “the first place we looked,” Engdahl-Johnson said.

About 13 divers and the Harbor Patrol helped with the extraction, he said. The body was identified with dental records.

Drowning recovery is very difficult, especially in Lake Washington. The average depth of the lake is 108 feet, and its deepest spot is 214 feet.

“The body didn’t surface because it’s so cold down there,” Engdahl-Johnson

said, though other news organizations reported that the body was “spotted” by a Seattle Police Harbor boat.

The original police investigation in 2012 began after a Kirkland resident reported that an empty boat had drifted into the shoreline by Heritage Park.

Deputies started a search of the lake near where the boat was found. The marine unit, a Sheriff ’s office helicopter, the U.S. Coast Guard and Seattle Police Marine Patrol assisted in the search, according to Reporter archives.

Deputies found a portable generator onboard running and a tool that was connected to the generator outside the boat dangling into the water. The boat was usually moored at a slip at the Queen City Yacht Club in Portage Bay in Seattle.

Sweezey’s car was found in the club parking lot.

Deputies spoke to a friend of Sweezey’s at the club who said Sweezey had intended to take his boat into the Lake Washington area to do some repairs.

Working on the boat was a “labor of love” for Sweezey,

“Where technology meets relaxation.”

Engdahl-Johnson said. He had invested a decade in the restoration of his late father’s 48-foot Chris Craft Roamer, a boat called the “Tern” that had once belonged to Bill Boeing Jr. Sweezey’s friend said that he had no life jackets, so he gave Sweezey one to use for the day. Deputies said the lifejacket was still on the boat when they found it, according to Reporter archives.

According to his obituary in the Seattle Times, Sweezey was an entrepreneur, electrician, rancher, gardener, pilot, Vietnam veteran, lover of natural beauty, supporter of the arts and the environment, graceful skier on snow and water and a devoted husband and father.

He graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1962, and was CEO of his father’s electrical contracting company, City Electric, for 20 years. He grew up boating on Lake Washington, sailing and waterskiing from an early age.

Engdahl-Johnson said that his family owes a “huge debt of gratitude” to everyone who helped with the search, including the Divers Institute of Technology, the dive team that helped with the recovery.

“With this news comes the possibility of closure for our family after almost two and a half years of wondering and agonizing over his disappearance,” Sweezey’s family wrote. “We would like to thank you all for your unwavering support and generosity, and to also thank Innerspace Exploration, the King County Sheriff ’s Missing Persons Unit and the King County Medical Examiner and for their diligence in bringing us the answers that we so dearly needed.”

Five-year swim title run ends Islanders finish fifth at state MI volleyball falls to eventual 3A champ Auburn Riverside in quarterfinal

By Joseph Livarchik

jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com

After seeing its title defense come to an end in the quarterfinal round of the state tournament against Auburn Riverside Friday night, Mercer Island volleyball wanted to make sure they had something to show for an otherwise strong season.

Winning out in the consolation bracket on Saturday, the Islanders finished the 3A state volleyball tournament with a three-set sweep over Southridge, winning 27-25, 27-25 and 25-19 to earn the fifth place trophy at St. Martin’s University.

While it wasn’t the ending the defending 3A state champs were hoping for, the Islanders were happy not to

As five-time defending state champions, the Islander girls were able to place swimmers on the podium in nearly every event, but were unable to match the depth of Lakeside, scoring 279 points to take second place behind Lakeside’s 333 points.

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER

Mercer Island water polo takes third at state

SWIM | FROM 7 teams from Bainbridge and Bellevue. It’s an incredible accomplishment and testament to the continued strong support for swimming in this community.”

Highlights included a first-place finish by Leah Fisk in the 200 yard freestyle with an All-American consideration time of 1:50.64, and Sabrina Kwan sharing the top spot in the 100 yard butterfly with Sophia Chien of Holy Names Academy, tying for first at 57.66. Fisk and Kwan went on to make additional podium appearances, with Kwan taking fifth in the 50 free (24.84) and Fisk placing third in the 500 free (5:00.14).

Bellevue’s Kim Williams continued to dominate high school girls swimming, earning Swimmer of the Meet behind her two first-place finishes, with record-breaking times in the 200 yard IM (2:00.35)

Special to the Reporter

Sabrina Kwan swims the 100 fly (photo by John Fisk). and the 100 breaststroke (1:01.80).

Sophomore Maeve Murdoch enjoyed fourthplace honors in both the 200 free (1:55.61) and 100 free (53.96), and senior Angela Riggins placed eighth in both the 200 free (1:58.99) and 500 free (5:20.80). Ellie Williams took seventh in the 500 free (5:17.19) and Audrey Hixon placed sixth in the 100 back (1:00.60) to round out Mercer Island’s podium appearances.

Coach Johnson noted, “Nearly every swim was a personal best time over the two days of the meet. The team really outperformed themselves.”

Hadley Michaels, the Islanders’ only state diver, placed ninth with a score of 309.10 points.

Mercer Island relays had a strong showing with the team of Kwan, Sofija Raisys, Emily Koksu and Williams taking third in the 200 medley relay (1:51.28), and an additional third-place finish in the 200 free relay by Sammie Edwards, Murdoch, Fisk and Kwan (1:39.93).

Dropping over two seconds from their preliminary qualifying time, the 400 free relay team comprised of Murdoch, Williams, Riggins and Fisk, placed second with a time of 3:38.00.

After a disappointing loss to Bellevue in the state semifinals Friday night, Mercer Island came through the back bracket to reach the third-place game Saturday, Nov. 15.

Following a 23-6 thrashing of Auburn-Mountainview, the Islanders found redemption against Roosevelt, beating the Roughriders 11-8 to take third place at the state tournament.

The Roughriders had bested the Islanders in their previous two contests, including a 7-5 victory in the district finals. Roosevelt entered the state tournament as the number one seed, but the Islanders were determined to take control of the contest and produce a different outcome this time.

The Islanders came out strong, posting three unanswered goals and leading

it to the fifth-place match.

The Islanders had their hands full with Kamiakin, struggling to get kills past the Braves’ domineering front line. Trailing 2-1 after three sets, the Islanders managed to even the match with a 25-20 win in the fourth game. Then after falling behind 4-0 early in the decisive fifth set, Mercer Island fought back to close out with a 15-12 win.

It was in the fifth set that McKay turned to her seniors, bringing in senior captain Felicia Ng, who had seen little action due to a lingering knee injury this season.

Mercer Island boys water polo cruised through the consolation bracket Saturday, Nov. 15 to finish third at the state water polo championship tournament.

3-2 after the first quarter.

The Islanders widened their margin in the second on a series of goals by Jack Larkin, Topher Lacrampe and Connor Vacca to head into the half ahead 8-4.

Mercer Island never conceded its advantage, putting the icing on the cake with a Parker Bannister goal in the closing seconds against an empty Roosevelt net.

Coach Andrew SmithJones said, “It’s great to end on a positive note. Tonight we showed what Islander Polo is all about.”

Mercer Island bulldozed through Bainbridge 19-2 to open the tournament before falling to cross-lake rival Bellevue 11-9 in the semifinals. Bellevue topped Curtis for its fourth-straight boys water polo title.

“I wanted the seniors to kind of figure out whether we win or lose and leave it up to them,” McKay said. “[Ng] has worked so hard all season and had such a good attitude, and her knee is just good enough that she was able to play today, so I wanted to give her the chance.”

While not expecting to see action, Ng wanted to make sure things went differently Saturday than they did a week earlier in a fiveset district finals loss to Lakeside.

“I think a big thing with Lakeside was that we lost trust in each other,” Ng said. “[Against Kamiakin], we were like ‘we can’t let that happen again.’ We had to

trust each other and go 100 percent no matter what.”

Jemma Yeadon, who had 23 kills for the Islanders against Kamiakin and 19 kills against Southridge, said even though the Islanders couldn’t go home with the state championship trophy, it was important they came away with something to show for all the hard work the team put in this season.

“We know if we had played our best and been on our ‘A’ game, this could’ve been a very different situation and we could’ve been higher, so that part is frustrating,” Yeadon said. “But it’s definitely good that we finished strong and won everything else.”

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e 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 c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g 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.

are choosing from a multitude of titles in any given genre. If a reader is looking for a romance novel, she won’t glance at a book cover that doesn’t reflect her idea of a romance novel.

Your cover design needs to appeal to its target audience.

• Cover images need to be clearly visible at the size of a thumbnail. Huh? You heard me. Internet book shoppers rely on thumbnail-sized book cover images, so be sure your cover communicates well even when it’s tiny.

• Covers should evoke reader emotion. The feeling a reader gets when he or she sees the cover is equally — some say more — important than the information provided. If a book is about running a successful business, does the cover offer a sense of security? (For instance, a handshake is probably more reassuring than dollar bills erupting into the sky.)

“How do you like your book cover?” asked Jennifer McCord, associate publisher at Coffeetown Press after she’d sent over my first proof of “The Last of the Blacksmiths.”

“I’m still thinking,” I hedged.

“I know what you mean.

A good way to test it is to print it out, wrap it around a book and put it on your shelf for a few days. Take some time getting used to it.”
