In 2011, the Island reboots, rebuilds A look back at 2011

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

Another wave of aftershocks of the national economic recession hit Island shores this past year.

Islanders found themselves paying more than $4 at the gas pump and higher prices for everything from food to electricity and more.

Adding insult to injury was seeing home values continue to fall.

According to recent property assessment data, the total value of Island property has fallen 20 percent from a high of more than $10 billion to around $8 billion.

The change in value has implications for property owners as well as public entities who depend on taxpayer dollars.

For public schools here and across the state, fewer state dollars meant that communities needed to dig deeper to pay for key education resources. The Island community rallied and pledged $1.2 million through the Mercer Island Schools Foundation’s Bridge the Gap campaign.

But beyond basic education costs, Island schools are becoming obsolete and overcrowded. Just two weeks ago, the School Board approved a motion to ask voters April 17, for millions to rebuild Island schools.

Amid the economic crises, some Island institutions have fallen away. Finders gift shop closed this past year. Alpenland is up for sale.

on. Mercer Island Florist celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. YogaBliss moved to a larger space. Veloce Velo consolidated its Issaquah location into its Island shop on S.E. 77th Ave. Despite lingering doubts about the future, new businesses continue to come. At the South End there is a busy ‘Yo Mercer’ yogurt shop and in the Town Center there is the Extra Mile store at the Chevron station on Sunset Highway just around the corner from Indulge, a new salon. The BLI music store and bike repair revamped with new owners. Foodies rejoiced with the opening of Stopsky’s Delicatessen adjacent to Island Books; ‘Zaw, a Canadian take home pizza shop and Anise Thai restaurant both in Tabit’s Square, and the first Tully’s drive-thru coffee kiosk opened near Rite Aid. A stone’s throw from Tully’s, a branch of the Defensive Driving School set up shop this past year. Former Islander Carly Burns, opened C. Michele Interior Lifestyles in September.

City of Mercer Island mayor and longtime City Councilman Jim Pearman is resigning from the City Council effective Feb. 1.

Pearman has been on the Council since 2001. He has been the mayor since 2008. He is halfway through his third term.

Pearman, 54, accepted a position earlier this year to work as a mediator for the Federal Emergency Management Administration, or FEMA. He has now completed extensive on-site training with the agency. He will be on call to serve in emergencies similar to what occurred in New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina. He recently traveled to Vermont to assist communities and residents dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane

Community briefs Urman earns short sales certification Kenneth Urman of Ewing and Clark East has earned a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed training in foreclosure avoidance, with a particular emphasis on short sales. At a time when millions of homeowners are struggling with the possibility of foreclosure, this type of specific training will benefit sellers in short sale situations.

Short sales allow the

distressed homeowner to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even if it is lower than what is owed on the property. Lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are less costly than foreclosures. Contact Urman at kenurman@ comcast.net.

Island mayor Jim Pearman is shown working out on the Charles River in Boston on a break from his new job as a mediator with FEMA. He was in Vermont and Massachusetts for training and to work during the aftermath of Hurricane Irene in September.

MAYOR | FROM 1 of Hurricane Irene.

The decision to leave his post has not been an easy one, he said, but notes that he could be away for weeks or months at a time if called up.

“I could not be an effective Councilmember or mayor if I was gone for long or indefinite periods,” he said.

Pearman has been a consultant to cities and a mediator on employment matters and regional agency coordination throughout King County.

Pearman came close to death last summer, when he had a heart attack on his way home from an early morning rowing workout on Lake Washington. He made it to the North end fire station before he col-

lapsed. Island firefighters stabilized him and took him to Overlake Hospital for emergency treatment and surgery. Both his physicians and emergency medical personnel told him that his initial situation was dire and that he is very lucky to have survived, he said.

Pearman has been mayor during some of the most challenging and contentious times faced by the city. The list includes the construction of the new Mercer Island Community and Event Center; an evaluation of the effects of SR-520 tolling on I-90 traffic; changes to Island Crest Way; the Tent City encampment for the homeless; the latest budget that required cuts to city services, and finally the lawsuit brought against the city by former assistant city manager and attorney, Londi Lindell.

The suit settled for $1 million. The city was also fined for public records act violations.

The mayor is most proud of the Community Center.

He was the co-chair of the center’s needs assessment committee prior to becoming a Councilmember.

“It has truly become the heart of our community,” he said of the building. “And it was built without any new taxpayer money.”

Pearman said he will nominate City Councilmember Bruce Bassett in January to be the next mayor.

A 40-year resident, Pearman, and his wife, Katalin, have two daughters, Julia and Charlotte, who attend Island schools.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve our community. I am proud of what has been accomplished,” he said.

Happy Holidays!

An annotated version of the year might include the following events.

In January, the Mercer Island High School Marching Band returned stateside after a triumphant appearance in the London New Year's Day parade. Mary Wayte Pool gained yet another life with new operators taking over for Northwest Center who said they could not longer manage the pool. The City Council and the School Board began considering a partnering with the SJCC or private clubs for a pool.

The Council selected former Mercer Island Reporter editor, Jane Meyer Brahm, to fill the City Council seat vacated

by Steve Litzow who was elected to the State Senate in November 2010. Meyer Brahm was one of 17 who came forward to apply for the spot.

Anticipating a shortfall of some $400,000 at the beginning of the biennial budget cycle, city officials looked for ways to cut back including trimming some seasonal events. City residents rallied and pledged funds to restore many activities including the fireworks at Summer Celebration!

However, budget cuts to the Parks & Rec department meant that there were no lifeguards were on duty this summer at Groveland or Clarke Beaches.

An emergency transport ordinance was approved to

The end of the nearly three-year lawsuit brought by former assistant city manager and city attorney Londi Lindell meant that the city had to pay more than $180,000 in penalties. The city’s insurance company brokered the settlement deal and paid for the $1 million in damages.

The city’s huge sewer lake line replacement project was completed on time and notably, $2 million under budget. Those savings will be used to pay the Lindell lawsuit fines.

With City Council approval, the city completed a months-long process to submit a shoreline management plan to the state.

The city began construction of lighted crosswalks along Island Crest Way at two intersections where pedestrians had been hit.

Traffic lights for two intersections in the Town Center were also approved and built — but as of this writing, are not yet functioning due to key equipment shortages.

Despite the community’s apparent discomfort with City Hall in the aftermath of the Lindell lawsuit, only one person came forward to run for one of the four open positions on the City Council.

Ditto for the School Board, where all three members up for reelection ran without challengers. The two newly appointed members — one each for the School Board

and the City Council— ran unopposed after serving just a few months on the governing boards. Earlier in 2011, Lisa Strauch Eggers resigned from School Board for a job in the private sector. Brian Emanuels, one of the major supporters of the Boys & Girls Peak project was appointed.

In the November General election, longtime City Councilman El Jahncke was defeated by Debbie Bertlin.

Islander Richard Mitchell, an attorney and former counsel to Gov. Christine Gregoire, ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the King County Council against incumbent Jane Hague.

Islanders celebrated the outdoors by building places for learning, growing and meditating. Volunteers built a Kesher Garden at the JCC; Others constructed a learning garden at library, and a brick labyrinth at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

After a years-long delay, construction began on the Aviara mixed use project on the old Safeway site.

In the Town Center, the 7700 building’s condos sold out. City figures revealed that the thrift store brings in more than $800,000 annually for the city's Youth & Family Services.

Real estate news appeared all year in the Reporter.

The Island Crest Apartments sold for $3.6 million to King County Housing Authority who will preserve it for moderate income residents. Interest in the property was intense, the agency said.

Lewis Stevenson Sr. owner of the stables on Island Crest Way dies March 16. Less than two weeks later, his heirs notified horse owners that they must vacate the property by May 15. The five acres of land is considered the last and largest piece of developable land on the Island. The land is now listed for sale for $6 million. Meanwhile, other multi-million dollar homes languish.

As the year draws to a close, the Mercer Island High School Marching band readies for an appearance in yet another world-

famous parade, this time in Pasadena, Calif. Earlier in the year, the band’s 30-plus year old wool uniforms were ‘sold’ for $700 to the Daybreak Middle School’s new marching band in Battle Ground, Wash.

The Daybreak band proudly wore them still bearing the Mercer Island name, when they marched for the first time in another famous parade — Portland’s Rose Festival parade.

Editor’s note: Edoardo Romani, an Italian exchange student, is enjoying his experience as a junior at MIHS while living with his host parents, David Barbee and Carolyn Friedman Barbee, and his host brother, Michael Friedman.

Being an exchange student is sometimes difficult to describe: too many experiences, too many emotions, too many intangibles, and therefore, a challenge to put into writing. However, I will

try in hopes that people will be able to understand this wonderful journey.

It all begins in another country, among another culture, way of life, and people — in my case, Milan, Italy. When I was first told I had finally achieved all of the requirements necessary to leave for this Mercer Island High School experience, I was really fired up and excited, but very nervous as well. I knew little about Mercer Island, and I did not know exactly what to expect.

I tried to somehow visualize the experience I was about to begin, and what came into my mind was the classic profile of an American high school, full of lockers, cheerleaders and overall a very cheerful and active environment. I had no idea yet how cheerful and active.

It’s 7:35 a.m. on the first day of the new academic year.

After some relaxing days having a great time with my new host family, fellow exchange student Camilla Duranti and I are about to take the bus for school. It’s hard to describe

“I went and fell in love with it. The environment is so welcoming and safe.”

Mercer Island High School senior Anna Partridge performs with Circus Smirkus last summer. Partridge is a skilled juggler and acrobat.

In 19th and 20th century America, the circus reached its height as a popular art form, and was one of the greatest sources of entertainment before the age of television. Circus acts still exist, as do circus schools and performers; you just don’t hear that much about them anymore.

Mercer Island High School senior Anna Partridge tried all manner of sports, but found her passion in circus performance.

“I did a lot of competitive sports — I did it all and quit every one of those sports to do this,” Partridge said. “They never held my attention.”

Partridge got the bug from her family nurse practitioner, who cofounded SANCA, or The School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts, a 501 (c)(3) located in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood. She started at age 8.

“I went and fell in love with it,” Partridge said.

“The environment is so welcoming and safe. You can be yourself, get tons of exercise, but it’s noncompetitive.”

Partridge has tried all the disciplines, but she specializes in juggling.

Her favorite is the clubs, because “they’re cooler —

first time she performed for that many people — alone.

“I had 30 seconds of fame after that assembly,” she said. “I’m really glad I got to share that with the school.”

Partridge also tumbles and is working on tight wire walking. She can already walk on balls and swing from a trapeze.

She is applying to traditional colleges, and will attend college eventually, but she said she intends for next year to be a gap year in which she will only train for the circus. She hopes to audition for professional circus school, and if accepted, she will go.

Professional circus schools last three to four years.

She said there are jobs in several smaller circuses; Cirque du Soleil is certainly a prestigious show, but she is not sure that’s her ultimate goal. She would prefer to be somewhere where she can do what she loves and perform every day.

If she is not accepted into professional circus school, plan B, or a regular college, would go into effect, with her interest being in science or physics. Partridge has a 3.99 GPA and said that many things in life interest her.

Partridge lives with her mom, Fran, who is the “most supportive mom.”

“She really wants me to be happy,” Partridge said.

“She’s really not telling me what to do.”

how nervous I was as I took the first of many rides to my new school. From that moment on, it was show time — on that day I truly began to understand the sense of being an exchange student.

Many, many things have surprised me, but what has so far struck me the most is the pace of life. Yes, the rhythm at which life goes on this little island — it is too fast. Activity after activity, non-stop — school, friends, basketball practice, more friends. I guess I am living Mercer Island life to the fullest.

And I’d say, so far, so good.

Actually, not good, but great.

The time I am having is amazing, and I could not ask for anything better. Ups and downs, movie nights, basketball games, crazy assemblies and spirit weeks. Not the usual life for an Italian. I am just blessed to be in this place.

This program at MI is really changing the way I look at people and at life. I still have a long way to go, though, as I look forward to new experiences in my second semester on Mercer Island.
