a 21st Century Facilities Master Plan. Board president Pat Braman said the meeting is being held during the day so that citizens who cannot attend evening meetings will have a chance to weigh in on this important issue. Braman said they will be discussing alternatives based on recommendations from the 21st Century Facilities Planning Committee, a group of 20 people from the Island who toiled for 120 hours to come up with alternative ideas of how to build cost-effective new schools. The board must come up with a dollar amount for a bond to be voted on in a special election soon because the deadline to file is March 2. Braman said they would like to pay for the land that the dis-

Mercer Island and Tacoma don’t have a lot in common, but they will likely share a U.S. Congressional representative, according to new plans approved at the eleventh hour by the State Redistricting Commission. Under the plans completed yesterday, Mercer Island, Bellevue and Newcastle will be grouped with South Seattle communities such as Renton, SeaTac, Tukwila, Federal Way and Northeast Tacoma to form the 9th District, represented by Democrat Adam Smith. Smith, who was first elected in 1997, said in a statement he is glad that the district still features his hometown of SeaTac, and he is excited to represent this diverse district.

As part of the continued work on I-90 across Mercer Island, the Washington Department of Transportation will close the 80th Avenue S.E. reversible I-90 express lane ramps on Jan. 23 for several weeks. The work, which is stage two in work to prepare for transit along I-90, is expected to be complete in midFebruary. The WSDOT has said most of the work will take
Tolls on SR-520 expected to raise $1 billion By Nat Levy

It has been years and millions of dollars in the making, but tolls on State Route 520 began Thursday morning. The first day with the new equipment in place was going smoothly in the early morning, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. Traffic on the bridge during the first hour of tolling was 45 percent less than a normal day, according to WSDOT. However, the real traffic test for commuters was expected to begin on Tuesday morning, when people returned from their holiday vacation. WSDOT Tolls Director Craig Stone has said there will be some diversion away from 520 because of the tolls.
place during the day, as crews connect the ramps to the new outer roadway HOV lanes. During the closure, drivers will have to use the outer roadway to access the Mercer Island exits, and will have to use the Island Crest Way onramp to access I-90. Once the work is finished, the ramp will no longer be reversible and will serve as an on-ramp for eastbound I-90 for transit and HOV drivers. To learn more, visit the WSDOT’s construction project page at www.WSDOT. wa.org.

Drivers cross State Route 520 on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 29, the first day of tolling along the bridge. So far, the state DOT has estimated lighter traffic along the road. These drivers are likely to go to Interstate 90, State Route 522 and Interstate 405. “Drivers from Issaquah to Seattle and Tukwila to Shoreline will see changes to their commute,” Stone said. “Drivers who use these routes should prepare for potential traffic delays and adjust their schedule accordingly. We expect traffic patterns will change daily, and it will take several months

before traffic settles into a predictable new pattern.” Tolls vary by time of day, with the peak rate of $3.50 for those with a Good To Go transponder during the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. Cameras on the bridge will read the license plates of cars without transponders and send them a bill. WSDOT will charge a $1.50 fee in addition to the cost of the toll for these drivers. The eastern high rise has 12 cameras and photographs every license plate.

MISD 2011 report: Learning by the numbers Nearly ten percent of MI students receive special education services By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com
Most Islanders received the Mercer Island School District’s annual report for the 2010-2011 academic year in the mail last week. The year began with budgetary challenges that were overcome by the efforts of both school administrators and the community. The Mercer Island Schools Foundation and the PTA Bridge the Gap Task Force brought in unprecendented amounts of money to make up for budget shortfalls. But, 2011 ends with
the same situation. Faced with growing enrollment, with over 600 elementary students in portables, and the middle school with 187 students more than it’s designed for, the district will be asking voters on April 17 to pass a bond for new schools, which will also be more conducive to the district’s 2020 Vision, in addition to providing more space for students. A demographic chart in the report demonstrates projected trends. Mercer Island students continue to demonstrate outstanding academic achievement. Both Mercer Island High School and Islander Middle School outscored the state average in the Measurement of Student Progress (MSP) and the High School

The goal of a majorityminority district has been a controversial one throughout the redistricting process. Groups have spoken in favor of the district, saying it is the only way for minority residents to have a voice in state and national matters. Others were frustrated at how much of a role race was playing in the redistricting process.

Proficiency Exam (HSPE), and the end-of-course math exams. All three of the elementary schools placed in the top 4 percent of all schools in the state, based on the 2011 MSP results. The report also states, “93 percent of the graduates of the class of 2011 had plans to continue their education, 86 percent at a four-year institution and 7 percent at a two-year school. Of the college-bound students, 58 percent go out of state. Students from the class of 2011 are attending 88 different colleges and universities across the nation and the world.

A spokesperson for Quiznos, at its headquarters in Denver, said all of the Quiznos stores are franchises that are independently owned and operated. The spokesperson did not know why the store closed, but she did say it was unlikely that it would re-open within the next 12 months. Calls to the store went unanswered.

The Department of Labor & Industries adjusts the state’s minimum wage each year in September as required by Initiative 688, which Washington state voters approved in 1998. The initiative requires the state to adjust the minimum wage according to the change in the federal “CPI-W,� which is a national index covering the cost of goods and services needed for day-today living. That index rose 4.258 percent during the 12 months ending Aug. 31, 2011.

Ban any phone use while driving
T
he National Transportation Safety Board has taken a tough, but necessary, stand on texting, emailing or chatting while driving a vehicle. The board wants it outlawed. Good. The unanimous recommendation from the five-member board would apply even to hands-free devices a much stricter rule than any current state law. Again, good. Despite the popularity of such devices, there’s no way a person can give full concentration to driving and still pay attention to making a telephone call, emailing or sending a text. As NTSB chairwoman Deborah Hersman rightly noted, “No email, no text, no update, no call is worth a human life.” And people have died while trying to do both. One deadly crash in Missouri involved a 19-year-old teen driving a pickup who sent or received 11 text messages within 11 minutes. The pickup was traveling at 55 mph when it plowed into the back of a tractor truck that had slowed for highway construction. The pickup was then rear-ended by a school bus, and a second school bus rammed into the back of the first bus. The pickup driver and a 15-year-old student on one of the buses were killed. Thirty-eight other people were injured. Our state is one of 35 (and the District of Columbia) that bans texting while driving, and, along with eight other states and Washington, D.C., bans hand-held cellphone use. That seems like a step in the right direction, but you only have to look around at our streets to see driver after driver flaunting the law. And, yes, the police do write tickets — lots of them — for these offenses, but it’s clear that it isn’t stopping this dangerous practice. In reality, people are putting their personal need to chat and text above any concern for public safety. The National Transportation Safety Board is right. Ban all use of texting, emailing or chatting while driving. We can live without doing those activities. It’s now apparent that we can die while doing them.

To the editor City manager review Thank you, Terry Deeny, for your letter to the editor saying what many of us feel. The city manager has cost us dearly in time and money in past and recent actions. The City Council failed the citizens as taxpayers of this Island. There definitely should have been an independent review. I also want to thank Ira Appelman for all he did to try to keep us informed, and though he was vilified by the press and City Council, he came out a winner! Mr. Conrad should be shown the door.

SR-520 tolls arrive It’s official: tolling on the SR-520 bridge started at 5 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 29. Starting tolling between Christmas and New Year’s Day was smart, because it allowed any initial wrinkles to be ironed out when traffic volumes were relatively low. After holiday vacations end, however, traffic patterns could change almost daily for a while as commuters experiment with different routes and travel times. Mercer Island families and businesses are bound to be affected as some drivers try to avoid tolls by shifting to I-90. Transportation leaders are working hard to make the transition period as smooth as possible, but Mercer Islanders can also help ourselves by packing some extra patience during drive times and knowing our options and tools.

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com
January Off road: A driver lost control of his vehicle at 25 mph after the engine died at 3:32 a.m. on Mercerwood Drive. The driver, a 37-yearold SeaTac man, was unable to brake or steer the vehicle, a Lincoln, and attempted turning onto 95th Avenue S.E. in the 4200 block. The vehicle stopped after running over a large boulder and shrubs. The driver and passenger were unharmed, and the vehicle was towed from the scene with a damaged front bumper and undercarriage. Pockets full: Police caught a thief with pockets full of jewelry and electronics and arrested him at 6:20 p.m. in the 6600 block of East Mercer Way. An 80-year-old man reported that a suspicious stranger was at the residence of his neighbor, a disabled woman who did not know the stranger. Police found the thief, a 48-year-old Seattle man, inside and he claimed to be working for the woman. He had an outstanding warrant with the
Auburn Police Department and was arrested for attempted theft. Items in his pockets included a telephone, camera and jewelry. Beyond disgust: A hazmat cleaning service was called to clean up a hazardous mess at a residence east of Island Crest Way on Jan. 22. Four gallons of vomit and excrement were dumped onto a Mercedes-Benz that was parked in a carport located in the 4500 block of 86th Avenue S.E. Fingerprints were taken from a five-gallon bucket and a pair of latex gloves for evidence, along with a sample to be tested for DNA. The resident, a 58-year-old woman, reported the incident on Saturday afternoon and suspected that a person had entered her carport sometime during the past 24 hours.
February Greedy enophiles: One hundred bottles of wine were stolen out of a wine cooler at a residence in the 4500 block of 87th Avenue S.E. on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The residents reported that the burglary happened while they were at home, between 6:25 and 6:40 p.m. Beer and soda were also stolen from a refrigerator in the garage. Suspects’ fingerprints were taken from the wine cooler door. White van alert: Two men fled from a garage in the 3800 block of 80th Avenue S.E. after being discovered by the homeowner, a 54-yearold man, who was going outside to smoke after 9 p.m. on Feb. 11. Entry into the house could be made from the garage, which was attached to the residence. The suspects jumped into a white

March Enophiles strike again: Two bottles of wine worth $35.99 each were stolen at 3:44 p.m. from QFC in the 7800 block of S.E. 28th Street. The suspect, identified as a 58-year-old Kent man, tucked the bottles under his coat as he left the store and drove away in a Cadillac. There were two witnesses of the incident. The same suspect returned the next day, and after leaving QFC with bottles of champagne hidden in his jacket, he set them on the front seat of his vehicle and went back inside the store. He attempted to steal more wine, but stopped when he realized an employee was watching him.

Washingtonians have already set up more than 120,000 Good To Go accounts this year. They’re available in many retail stores and come with several options to meet a variety of needs. You can learn all about the choices and benefits at the Good To Go website. You’ll also see how drivers can get deep tolling discounts by traveling during off-peak times. Making tolling as easy as possible should help to reduce traffic diversion to I-90 and other routes. Final thoughts: transportation leaders have been preparing for SR-520 tolling for years. Even so, there are sure to be travel slowdowns on I-90 and other alternatives to SR-520 as cross-lake traffic rebalances. Exploring transit and other travel times, driving or riding with friends, if you can, and giving yourself extra time to reach your destination will help to make travel in the weeks ahead smoother, safer and faster, for you and for all of us.

Whitworth’s basketball coach Logie returns to hometown By Megan Managan
mmanagan@mi-reporter.com
Whitworth University’s men’s basketball coach Matt Logie made a stop in his hometown this week for a game at Mercer Island High School. Logie, a Mercer Island native, coached the Pirates against Calvin College in a special game on Thursday, Dec. 28. The Pirates won 76-51 over Calvin. Logie graduated from MIHS in 1999 and helped lead the team, then coached by his grandfather Ed Pepple, to two state titles. Thursday’s game is the first time that Logie will be involved in a competitive game at the gym since he helped the Islanders beat Bellevue in February of 1999. “Being able to coach my own team in the gym at Mercer Island, where my basketball roots began, is a special opportunity,” Logie said in a press release from the university. “There are so many memories there, not just for me but also for my whole family, and the many people that helped shape me as a coach and person.” During the game, Whitworth played a strong game on the boards, outrebounding the Knights 47-32.

Matt Logie, coach of the Whitworth Pirate men’s basketball team, walks to his team’s bench after beating Calvin College on Thursday, Dec. 28, at Mercer Island High School. It was the first time that Logie had been involved in a competitive game at MIHS since he graduated in 1999. The game was Whitworth’s last non-conference game of the season. The Pirates are 9-2 this season, while Calvin, from Grand Rapids, Mich., is 5-5 this year.
Whitworth will take a break until Jan. 6, when they take on Pacific Lutheran University in Northwest Conference play.
Their opponents had traveled a long way for the game held last Thursday night at Mercer Island, but that wasn’t reason enough for the Islanders to give up a win. Mercer Island hosted the Mornington Breakers, a team based in Mornington, Australia. The Islanders won 78-32. Mornington, located outside Melbourne on the southern end of the country, traveled to the United States,
playing Mercer Island during the visit. The Islanders controlled the game throughout with a 20-9 lead at the end of the first quarter, followed by another 19 points in the second. Mercer Island defense held Mornington to just five points in the third quarter, while scoring 26 points. Joe Rasmussen had 18 points during the win and Brian Miller added 13 points of his own. Karsten Sherman had nine points, Sean Hughes and Espen Platou each had
eight points, and Sam Cohn had seven. Jack Shaddle had six during the game, while Justen Altaras had five and Kyle Huber had four. The Islanders return to league action on Tuesday, Jan. 3, with an away game against Interlake beginning at 7:30 p.m., followed by a game on Friday at Juanita beginning at 8 p.m. The next Mercer Island home game will be on Tuesday, Jan. 10, against Lake Washington, with tip off at 7:30 p.m.

Maryhill is third in a series of winemakers or winery owners who grew up on Mercer Island. Craig attended Lakeridge Elementary from grades one to three. In fourth grade, he attended Island Park Elementary while Lakeridge was being remodeled, returning to Lakeridge for grades five and six.

August Milkman: A man stole 13 glass milk containers from QFC at 7823 S.E. 28th Street and returned them for a cash refund of $24.05 after 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 15. An employee saw a stack of milk crates outside, behind the store, before the suspect’s transaction. After the transaction, the employee found the milk crates empty and strewn around. Another employee remembered seeing the suspect return five or six milk containers two nights prior to the incident. The store has video footage of the incident, recorded by a surveillance camera.
September Con man: A man pur-

October Runaway machine: A street sweeper not owned by the city rolled backwards after it was unhitched from a large, parked truck at 8:55 a.m., Oct. 7, in the 4200 block of Mercerwood Drive.

Friendship Circle donates 700 toys to special needs and foster kids The Friendship Circle on Mercer Island just completed its second annual Wraps Toy Drive, donating over 700 toys to special needs and foster children throughout King County. The Friendship Circle Wraps is a time when “kids give to kids.” “This was unbelievable — the selfless acts of kids giving to other kids,” said Rabbi Bogomilsky of the Friendship Circle. Toy drives hosted by
four participating schools — Northwest Yeshiva High School, Seattle Hebrew Academy, Jewish Day School and Menachem Mendel Cheder of Seattle — enabled the Friendship Circle to donate 715 toys to both low-income children with special needs and foster children via the Seattle nonprofit Treehouse, Kindering Center in Bellevue and Arc of King County. Bogomilsky said Mercer Island community members also donated gifts and wrapping paper. Wrapping parties at the Mercer Island office gave local teens a chance to actively participate in the act of giving. The Friendship Circle of Washington extends a helping hand to families who have children and teens with special needs, and involves them in a full range of social experiences.
