Bertlin wins Council race Islander is the ninth woman to serve on the City Council

Islander Debbie Bertlin is the newest Mercer Island City Councilmember. Bertlin becomes the second woman on the present Council and the ninth woman to serve on the Council since its inception in 1960.

HAPPY HOUR

Bertlin’s commanding lead, set on election night, was more than enough to defeat longtime City Councilmember El Jahncke.

As of Monday evening, Bertlin was ahead of Jahncke with 59 percent of the ballots, or about 1,400 votes.

“It’s a tremendous honor to have such resounding support from the community, now and throughout this election season,” Bertlin wrote on her Web site. “While Mr.

School district marks 70 years of growth, change Thursday night’s Mercer Island School Board meeting started off with a party to celebrate the district’s 70th anniversary.

Several former school board members, along with the present cast, joined together to share stories and enjoy pizza and cake.

Joining the party was 97-year-old John Davis, who served on the board from 1955 to 1965. He was there when the first schools were built, and reminisced about purchasing the 10 acres for North Mercer. “We were a needful district,� Davis said.

He said they bought the land from the Seattle School District for $395,000.

Davis said the board at that time thought if they built a two-story building, it would be more cost effective, but to get state funding they had to build it on one level.

Davis, one of the founders of the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, still goes down to the office three days a week, and the partners all take turns taking him to lunch, said Susan Blake, who served on the board from 1973-1983.

Blake said Davis was the president of the board when she graduated from Mercer Island High School with the class of 1960. Stanley Ann Dunham, President Barack Obama’s mother, was in Blake’s graduating class.

Speaking of her time on the school board, Blake said they experienced a rapid decline in enrollment during that time and actually had to close schools.

Hal Fardal served in that same time range, from 1971 to 1979. “It was an interesting time because enrollment was going down,� Fardal said.

He said during that time, sex education was introduced to the schools, rais-

Former school board members remember the fuss about sex education and smoking at the high school.

during a PTSA coffee in the library presentation room.

Blix, a retired education administrator, was appointed by superintendent Gary Plano. Former principal John Harrison took a job with Bellevue Schools.

Blix was an interim principal at West Mercer Elementary from 2006 until 2008. Many of the freshmen and sophomore students at

Former and current school board members got together to celebrate the Mercer Island School District’s 70th anniversary on Nov. 10. Back row, from left, are Adair Dingle, Janet Frohnmayer, Terry Pottmeyer, Rand Ginn, Rodney Hearne, Brian Emanuels, Boyd Vanderhouwen, Susan Kaplan, Dave Myerson, Pat Braman, Laurie Koehler and Leslie Ferrell.

Rod Hearn, who served from 1986 to 1990, said that was the time the board first tried to pass a levy to remodel the schools, which didn’t fly at the time, but would later. Rand Ginn took a seat for six months when Fred Jarrett stepped down. He was able to go to France — on his own dime — to establish the sister city relationship with Thonon les Bains on the south shore of Lake Geneva.

Laurie Koehler served during the years when the levy was cast that did indeed fund remodeling of the schools.

Serving from 1992 to

2003, Susan Kaplan had one of the most amusing stories.

Kaplan recalled a meeting where much of the discussion was about less than desirable activities going on around the high school, such as smoking and littering.

To prove a point, a neighbor came to the meeting with two huge plastic garbage bags full of cigarette butts and presented them to Kaplan, who was also the president of the board. She graciously accepted them.

Terry Pottmeyer, who was named Mercer Island Citizen of the Year for 2011 along with Kaplan, served on the school board from

MIHS, and parents, already know Blix from her leadership at West Mercer.

School officials will close school or delay start times to ensure safety for students and employees.

Decisions for a late start or closure are made by the superintendent no later than 5:30 a.m. and are made available to area radio and television stations.

The district will also post updates on the main district website at www.k12.wa.us.

Weather alerts When extreme weather is expected, Mercer Island School District personnel monitor forecasts and conditions on the roadways well ahead of the anticipated arrival of a storm.

1997-2000. Her fondest memories were the successful addition of a science wing at Islander Middle School and handing out diplomas to happy graduates.

Finally, Leslie Ferrell, who served from 2003 to 2007, and served with current members Pat Braman and Adair Dingle, said she was proud of the work done to bring the PEAK facil-

ity to life, and hiring Gary Plano as superintendent.

Current board member Dave Myerson perhaps got the biggest laugh of the evening when he recited a Mark Twain quote after thanking all of these past board members for their service. “God made the idiot for practice, and then He made the school board,� Myerson recited.

Commenting to change To the editor

I

f you read the Mercer Island Reporter in print and also online, you’ve probably noticed a disconnect. Letters to the editor in our print edition come with the name of the author. Many comments online don’t have them — and worse — the authors are often hidden behind a made-up name.

No more. The news industry is clearly moving away from anonymous commenting, and we are proud to be part of this change.

Beginning Nov. 17, the Reporter will discontinue its online comment section as it is now and instead require all comments to come to us via Facebook.

The Facebook system encourages and rewards real identity; anonymous and negative comments — which put off many of our readers and hurt site participation — are curtailed. Chronic “trolls” are driven away.

If you are a logged-in Facebook user, you’ll be able to comment on our stories. And the chances are good that you probably are.

Facebook has 800 million users.

There are other pluses for you, too. Buttons will allow Facebook users to recommend a particular story to their FB friends or subscribers, or more directly send it to specific FB friends or anyone via email.

Many other newspapers are already moving to using Facebook, including LATimes.com, Gannett, Media General and American City Business Journals.

A few other things are worth noting.

These are nothing new, but they are worth repeating: We won’t allow personal, hateful or other attacks, including derogatory usage of race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, region, disability, etc. However, we still welcome debate on these potentially sensitive subjects.

We won’t accept comments on stories of personal tragedy because we don’t want readers speculating or commenting irresponsibly on culpability for automobile crashes, unexplained deaths, sexual assaults or other stories where sensitivity is called for.

And, we won’t allow obscenities, profanities and sexual innuendo. We won’t allow numbers or symbols to fill in the letters of scatological and sexual terms.

Finally, remember that if you don’t have a Facebook account, you’re not left out. You can still send us a letter to the editor via mail, FAX or email and be part of our robust letters section.

ISLAND

TALK

Deer should be removed from the Island Recently, two accidents involving deer on Mercer Island have been reported. The phrase “deer in headlights” has a strong basis in fact. Deer do not adjust to automobile traffic.

Perhaps I’m particularly sensitive to this because when I lived in Denver, a neighbor of mine was killed by a deer that attempted to jump over her car, but landed in the front windshield instead and kicked the poor woman to death.

Mercer Island is not a rural area and deer have no place in our urban setting.

Placing caution signs on Gallagher Hill is a weak attempt by the city to protect the citizens (and the deer).

In short, the city should take the necessary steps to remove the deer from the Island immediately.

Brett Thomas Barnett Brett Thomas Barnett, born October 30, 1962 in Cincinnati, OH, passed away on November 6, 2011 in Seattle, WA. Brett brought joy to everyone he met; always positive, helpful and ready to please. Brett was a Special Olympian many times over – winning medals in track and field, swimming, and skiing. He was a long time active parishioner at St. Monica’s Parish by participating in the Youth Ministry program and serving as an alter server for many years. Brett graduated from Issaquah High School in 1984. After working at different jobs arranged by job training agencies, Brett took the initiative to find a job without anybody’s help. His initiative paid off because he found a job at McDonald’s on Mercer Island and worked there for 17 years before retiring in 2006.

Brett spent countless hours at the Highland Center in Bellevue where he participated in weight training, dancing, and his favorite hobby - musical theatre productions. He was a featured actor in several of the Highland Center’s production including, South Pacific, Grease, Guys and Dolls, and many other plays.

Brett lived a joyful and productive life on Mercer Island with his family. In 2005, he moved to Spiritridge Adult Family Home in Bellevue, where Orlan and Babylyn Calayag lovingly cared for him until May 2010. Due to declining health, he moved to Providence Mt. St.Vincent and was cared with love and respect until his passing on November 6, 2011.

Brett is preceded in death by his father, Kendrick “Kink” J. Barnett. He is survived by his mother, Kathleen A.

New city ordinance to target adults who enable teen drinking

By Mary L. Grady editor@mi-reporter.com

The Mercer Island City Council is working on an ordinance that would fine adults who host teen drinking parties at their home. Last January, the Council directed staff to examine the option of creating a civil infraction as an additional method of deterring underage drinking in Mercer Island.

An underage gathering where alcohol is consumed “constitutes a public nuisance, is an immediate threat to public health and safety, and is prohibited,” the draft ordinance declares.

In brief, a civil infraction or a ticket would be issued to a person whose residence is used for an underage gathering involving the consumption of alcohol, regardless of whether or not the responsible person permitted such activity.

Those cited would be fined $250 for the first offense.

A civil infraction can be characterized as more serious as a speeding ticket but less serious than a DUI. There are no criminal charges associated with a civil infraction.

While the amount of the fine might seem paltry, the city is limited in what they

can charge.

The fine of $250 is the limit set by state law for these type of citations, city attorney Katie Knight said.

“If we want to charge anymore, the state RCW (law) would need to be changed by the state Legislature.”

Underage drinking on Mercer Island has continued unabated. Incidents of parents hosting these parties seem to be on the rise.

The staff at Mercer Island Youth & Family Services has urged the Council to find new ways to stop teen drinking, and in particular, drinking at Island homes where a parent is present.

Youth & Family Services Manager Derek Franklin said YFS has been aware of the use of penalties against those who furnish alcohol for some time and had previously brought it to the City Council. The Council was spurred to action when an Island citizen spoke to a Councilmember about the idea.

The ordinance has many facets, Franklin explained, one of which is the employment of the simple means of deterrent.

Many agencies have come together to support this kind of law, Franklin said.

“The police, the state Liquor Control Board, the attorney’s office are all on the same page.”

Mercer Island is not the first entity to try this option to work against teen drinking.

The use of fines to deter adults from furnishing alcohol to minors is becoming the law de jour for cities across the nation.

Beyond the state laws that make it illegal for a person to permit underage youth to drink on premises under their control, cities do have the authority to impose their own penalties. Over just the past few weeks, several news reports covered these efforts.

In California, television station KTLA reported just last Friday that the Irvine, Calif., City Council unanimously approved an ordinance this week that fines party hosts who serve alcohol to minors.

Similar to the proposal here, the ordinance targets “social hosts,” defined as a “responsible person who makes alcohol available and/or permits the consumption of alcohol by

an underage person at a gathering or event held on private property,” according to a city of Irvine staff report.

First-time offenders can be fined up to $750.

A second offense within 12 months can result in a $1,500 fine and up to $3,000 for future offenses, according to a newspaper report.

The City of Irvine law is just one of several that exist throughout the state.

In Oklahoma, a new law went into effect just last week. It’s named after 16-year-old Cody Greenhaw, who died seven years ago after overdosing on drugs and alcohol at a party held by another teen’s parents. The new law means that adults will face harsher penalties for hosting a party where minors consume drugs or alcohol, even if they’re the minor’s parents.

The first offense is a $500 fine. The second carries a $1,000 fine. A third offense becomes a felony and carries a $2,500 fine.

Proposed ordinance offers another way to discourage teen drinking

Wednesday, November 16, 2011 | Page 7 If a young person is seriously injured or dies, the penalty may mean the responsible party could serve up to five years in prison.

The state of Maryland has doubled the fine for adults who allow or enable teen drinking, from $500 to $1,000.

Other efforts aimed at adults are underway to expand efforts to stem illegal drinking and its potential to cause harm.

In New Jersey, state and local officials have also begun to target adults who might purchase alcohol legally and provide it to minors in their efforts to curb underage drinking.

Stickers warning about the penalties for furnishing alcohol to minors were placed on all multi-packs of beer and wine coolers.

In Washington, D.C., the Regional Alcohol Program, which works to combat drunk driving, says parents who allow kids to leave while intoxicated could be culpable for whatever happens after the party’s over.

They may be responsible for injuries, they could be responsible for property damage, and they could be responsible for wrongful death.

The next public hearing regarding the law is set for Nov. 21 at the regular City Council meeting. For more go to www.mercergov.org.

NW Yeshiva High School sits out state volleyball tournament Joel Magalnick Special to the Reporter

While their competitors spent the weekend in Yakima, the girls’ volleyball team for Northwest Yeshiva High School stayed home for the state tournament. Though they placed fourth in their division, which qualified them to go to state, the tournament was being held last Friday and Saturday, during Shabbat, meaning the girls were unable to play.

The Washington Interstate

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com

Athletic Association, which administers athletics for approximately 400 public and private schools throughout the state, was unable to make accommodations for the twoday, 48-team tournament.

“We offered a couple different options, including playing one or two matches off-site or playing the games earlier in the day,” said Rabbi Benjy Owen, NYHS’s assistant head of school. “We made some proposals to them, and they didn’t accept them.”

Mike Colbrese, the WIAA executive director, said the situation is complex and difficult.

“We were concerned about the fairness to all the teams and also concerned about the safety to individuals,” Colbrese told JTNews.

Making accommodations would have required teams to

play two or even three games back-to-back, and he said the fatigue could pose safety issues. Moving the schedule up a day was also not possible.

“The problem with Thursday-Friday is then we’re taking kids out of school more,” he said.

NYHS and WIAA have been working on the issue since March, when it became clear that the volleyball team could qualify for the state championships. This tournament would have been their first.

This is not the first time, however, that the NYHS girls have had to forfeit because of schedule conflicts. In the spring of 2010, the WIAA did not accommodate the girls’ basketball team, which was scheduled to play on the evening following a fast day.

NYHS is also not the only school that has Sabbath issues. There are “a number of Seventh Day Adventist schools,” Colbrese said, and he also noted that Christian schools may have issues playing on Sundays.

One of the nation’s leading journalism historians, Winfield has taught mass media history to more than 8,000 students. She joined the school of journalism in 1990 after a career at the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at Washington State University. In addition to her role at the school, she has served MU as an adjunct professor of political science and as an affiliated professor in the Harry S. Truman School of Public Affairs. Winfield published some of the earliest research on U.S. presidents, first ladies and mass media and received the Kappa Tau Alpha National Research Award for her book, “FDR and the News Media.” She has published four books, has two more in progress, and has written more than

120 research articles, book chapters, encyclopedia entries and refereed conference papers.

Winfield completed post-doctoral fellowships at Columbia University and Harvard University.

Over the years I learned so much from him, nothing fancy but what could be more valuable than: work hard, be honest, show respect.

Now I’ve watched over dad for years as he’s needed help with daily tasks, like food prep, housework, and transportation. Lately, living by himself has got him down and I’ve grown too exhausted to care for my own household’s needs.

Star effort, depth, propel Mercer Island swim to third straight title

By Scott Panitz UW News Lab

The Mercer Island girls swimming team raced its way to a third consecutive 3A state championship at the state meet, holding off a strong push from Bainbridge at the King County Aquatic Center on Saturday. The Islanders were led by junior Grace Wold, who accounted for both of the team’s two first-place finishes.

“Those races were a great opportunity to just go out there and swim fast for my team,” said Wold, who won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard butterfly, posting All-American automatic qualifying times in both races. Later in the meet, she was named the 2011 Washington Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association Swimmer of the Year.

While she appreciates her individual honors, Wold emphasized that the team’s accomplishments come first.

“I love being here with my team,” said Wold. “It’s something that comes around once in a lifetime to have a team of all these girls who are so talented. I’m so honored to participate in the championship winning.”

That the team has so many talented girls is the

reason Mercer Island was able to win the overall title despite just two individual event victories. The Islanders had 16 different girls score points in individual swimming events as well as two girls score in diving, including junior diver Meg Lindsay, who finished second. The team also placed in the top three in all three relay events.

“We can’t control how other people swim, so there’s always this unknown with it,” said Islander coach Chauntelle Johnson.

“Bainbridge swam really well today; Hanford swam really, really well today.

Lucky for us, our depth is just something that makes it tough for other teams to take us down.”

Johnson said that the girls whose “names maybe won’t be next to a number one” were the unsung heroes of the day. Their ability to rack up points in the ninththrough-16th-place B-heats was essential to the team’s strategy and made the win a proper team victory.

“Truly a group effort,” said Johnson. “We only won two events all day, [but] it doesn’t take winning a lot of events to win a state championship.”

Johnson mentioned that

Several more penalty calls and incomplete passes set the stage for a challenging fourth quarter. A long Islander drive, ending with a 36-yard pass to Senior Nicky Sinclair, took the ball to the 4-yard line, but two successive passes to the end zone were incomplete, and, following the fourth down, Woods’ 25-yard kick made a dramatic collision with the goal post.

In the fourth quarter, Meadowdale charged downfield, and despite three penalty calls, carried the ball to the 5-yard line.

However, the Islanders’ defense was in full armor and forced a fourth-down punt, which brought the ball to Mercer Island’s 39-yard line.

The Islanders suffered another heartbreak, though, as an intercepted end zone pass resulted in a 37-yard return by the Mavericks. Again, the Islanders forced a fourthdown punt.

With three and a half minutes left on the clock, Lindquist re-entered the game, but his first drive was unsuccessful and the ball was turned over on downs. The Mavericks’ run was marred by several big tackles, including those by senior Phil Frasier and junior Brian Rauzi.

“She’s a competitor,” said Johnson. “She really loves being a part of this team and swims so hard for these girls. I’m at a loss for words.”

Bainbridge led the overall point total for a good portion of the meet before Mercer Island pulled away late, finishing with 278 points. Bainbridge was

next with 220 points, and Hanford rounded out the top three with 203 points.

Though this is her third championship in three years as Mercer Island head coach, Johnson said it feels just as good as the first one.

“It’s incredible that I’m lucky enough to get the chance to coach on the best team in the state with who has now been named the best swimmer in the state.

Healing in Rwanda

By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com

PNW MarketPlace!

It is a dismal set of circumstances, one we have heard more than once over the past 20 years.

Between April and June of 1994, approximately 800,000 people were killed in the Rwanda genocide, in just 100 days.

But a group of Island families doesn’t want people to forget.

Most of the dead were Tutsis, and most of those who did the killing were Hutus.

The scale of the slaughter was depicted in the movie, “Hotel Rwanda,� the true story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who housed over a thousand Tutsi refugees during the struggle against the Hutu militia.

The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down on April 6, 1994.

Father Jean Baptiste Ganza, a Tutsi, lost his mother and much of his family in the genocide, in Gisenyi, Rwanda. Ganza is now a Jesuit Priest and a student at Seattle University, where he

has made a name for himself.

According to the University’s magazine, Father Ganza is recognized around campus as not only the young Jesuit, but he’s also a soon-to-be-alumnus when he graduates with an MBA early next year. He lives the mission of Seattle University through his dedication to the people of Rwanda and commitment to social justice.

From Dec. 14, 2011, until Jan. 3, 2012, nine Mercer Island students from four families will leave on an adventure of a lifetime, to help build a classroom at St. Ignatius School, in the now healing Rwanda. Islander Holly Dillon met Ganza through a friend who had made a similar trip and decided she wanted her family to go, and the others joined in. Caroline Dillon, 16, said her mom was inspired by her friend’s videos. Spencer Dillon, 17, his sister Caroline, Zac Stickney, 17, his brother Mitch Stickney, 15, Danno Mayer, 15, and his sister Callie Mayer, 17, Max Dammeier, 17, Bennett Dammeier, 15, and their little brother Liam Dammeier, a fifth-grader

at Island Park Elementary, along with all four sets of parents, will make the journey.

The families are paying their own way, but the kids are trying to raise $15,000 for the school. “It’s the kids that want to raise the money,� said Leslie Dammeier.

This is not a mission organized by any of the local churches, just something these families are compelled to do. “There’s not a lot of awareness of Rwanda since the genocide,� said Callie Mayer.

Spencer Dillon said America’s image of Rwanda is of the genocide, but in reality, Father Ganza has told them it’s a very safe country, with no current conflict. “They’re focused on forgiveness,� said Zac Stickney, a senior at Mercer Island High School, who will also use this trip as his culminating project. Zac is the leader of the fundraising effort.

He said Father Ganza is very nice and calm, even after all he has been through. “He’s been the one preaching to us to forgive,� said Danno Mayer. “They’re integrating Hutus and Tutsis of all backgrounds into the school.�

All nine youths have been

out of the country before, but never to Africa. Danno Mayer is a little concerned about mosquitoes, and they all said they’ve had to endure many, many shots, and have to take typhoid and malaria pills, some with side effects.

Zac Stickney and Spencer Dillon went on a mission with the Presbyterian church, to Mexico last year, to build houses. Caroline Dillon and Danno Mayer will make the same trip to Mexico over spring break.

While in Rwanda the group is staying in what was Hotel Rwanda, now called Hotel des Mille Collines.

Their fundraising efforts for Rwanda so far have been achieved through knocking on doors, and sitting outside the Island QFCs telling citizens about their cause. So far, they have raised $1,400.

Sunday, Nov. 20, the four families will hold a big garage sale to raise money for St. Ignatius at the Dillon home, 7002 N. Mercer Way, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Some of the items for sale include a couch, sporting equipment, X-box and video games, clothing, books and other miscellaneous items.

Or, if you would like to make a cash donation, call Zac Stickney at (206) 9145150.

Yogabliss opens second location on Mercer Island

By Reporter Staff

Yogabliss has opened a second studio in downtown Mercer Island. The new space, at 7803 S.E. 27th Street, Suite 174, has locker rooms, a massage room and yoga-oriented retail. Yogabliss will continue to offer a wide variety of vinyasa yoga classes, ranging from advanced to the more gentle. With two Island studios, there will be more yoga for athletes, yin/ restorative yoga and hot hatha yoga. “We intend to offer a balanced selection of classes so any given day you can participate in the practice that is right for you and your body,� said founder Maria Bliss. “The goal is to truly meet the needs of our community — from the serious athlete to seniors, from kids to adults who are looking to improve their overall health and fitness level.�

The new studio will offer infrared radiant heat, particularly for the hot hatha classes. The Yogabliss hot

hatha practice is a series of breathing exercises and postures designed to exercise the entire body — muscles, joints, organs and glands. “We have designed our hot yoga practice to build both physical strength and flexibility, while increasing mental focus. It’s not ‘Bikram Yoga,’ but it’s plenty hot, so be prepared to sweat,� Bliss said.

The new studio doubles Yogabliss’ square footage. “Too often I see conversations after class wiggled into a corner, or pushed out into the cold because of lack of space. Ultimately, we want to develop and deepen relationships in the studio, which in turn provide a framework for working together to address community concerns,� said Bliss.

Yogabliss was founded in 2003 at Sunnybeam School and has a staff of 18 instructors. In 2006, Yogabliss moved to suite 134 at 7650 S.E. 27th Street.

The studio was recently recognized as one of the top five yoga studios in Evening Magazine’s “Best of Western Washington� contest.
