City dollars to go to green energy effort City to pay extra for electricity to encourage renewable energy

By Mary L. Grady

editor@mi-reporter.com

The Mercer Island City Council voted late last month to give $6,000 to PSE to support its Green Power program. The voluntary program pools funds from customers that wish to encourage the development of greener power sources. Customers do so by paying a bit extra per kilowatthour on their electric bills. The $6,000 represents an extra .006 cents per kwh for the equivalent of one third of the city’s annual utility bill.

Mayor Bruce Bassett said the Council may consider increasing the amount to $18,000.

The goal is to collect money to help shore up the demand for alternative power such as burning wood waste, and lowering the demand for traditional thermal

Local seniors speak out on Social Security 100 attend event at Community Center

By Jason Erskine

Special to the Reporter

Organizers barely had time to switch the microphones on before a packed room of local seniors lined up last week to voice their opinions in the debate over Social Security and Medicare.

A capacity crowd of more than 100 people gathered on May 9 at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center for AARP’s “You’ve Earned a Say” event.

The AARP association held the gathering as part

The ETA group says that the light rail proposal will harm truck transportation that is important to business beyond the Seattle metropolitan region. Horn said it’s important to keep in mind that the I-90 bridge doesn’t belong to just Seattle-area people.

Mercer Island senior Dennis Schnabel attended the event and spoke up about how both programs have been important to him and his family.

“Social Security and Medicare are absolutely essential for our country and for the lives of countless seniors and their families,” said Schnabel. Medicare helped pay for Schnabel’s kidney transplant in 2010, and since he’s unable to work now, he’s receiving Social Security disability

group, seeking to stop the East Link light rail project.

Mercer Island residents, Former State Sen. Jim Horn and Sara Rindlaub were also part of the suit.

The March ruling confirmed the legality of the work now underway to extend light rail across the I-90 center lanes to serve to Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond.

ETA contends that the 18th Amendment to the Washington State C onstitution prohibits state highways — built using gas tax revenues — from being converted to “non-highway purposes.” The plaintiffs say that light rail is a “non-highway purpose.”

Such a highway can be converted to another purpose only if it is declared “surplus,” they said.

Geoff Patrick of Sound Transit points out that the floating bridge was constructed with federal dollars, not state gas tax

dollars, and that agreements with the federal government explicitly said the center roadway was permanently designated for transit use and future conversion to mass transit.

The federal funding agreement was based on that agreement, he said.

The Kittitas court affirmed that the East Link light rail project, approved by voters in 2008, is consistent with plans and agreements that have been in place since before the bridge was built.

The ruling cites the 1978 federal action approving Jim Horn c o n s t r u c ETA member tion of the I-90 floating bridge, which contained an express condition that “public transportation shall permanently have first priority in the use of the center lanes.”

The court also held that WSDOT had the authority to lease the I-90 center lanes to Sound Transit

“The bridge belongs to every citizen of this state.”

Dennis Schnabel, a Mercer Island resident, attended AARP’s “You’ve Earned a Say” event on May 9. over age 65 also said it’s important. Support for Medicare was just as robust (ages 18-49, 98 percent; ages 50-64, 97 percent; and over age 65, 98 percent).

“Instead of talking about Medicare and Social Security as line items in the federal budget, Washington, D.C., should be talking about how to

strengthen health and retirement security and ensuring Americans have a voice in the debate,” said AARP State Director Doug Shadel. “Our members and older Americans have paid into Medicare and Social Security throughout their working lives, and they have earned a say in the future of these programs.”

for light rail, rejecting the argument that the lease violates the 18th Amendment of the Washington State Constitution because Sound Transit is paying adequate compensation for the lanes.

Sound Transit is compensating for the limited gas tax funding that was included in the f loating Islander Jim bridge Horn construction by building a new HOV lane in each direction across I-90, while maintaining the current number of general purpose lanes. The investment in the roadways more than reimburses the $69 million in gas tax dollars that the state invested in the central roadway, the agency has said.

In 1976, a memorandum of agreement for I-90 was signed by the cities of Seattle, Bellevue and Mercer Island, King County Metro Transit and the State Highway Commission. It directed that bridge design and

construction accommodate future conversion to rail and committed the two-lane center roadway for that purpose.

Freeman filed the lawsuit in Kittitas County following a Washington State Supreme Court ruling against him in 2011.

The Eastside Transpor tation Association (ETA) group describes itself as a privatesector organization that includes the management of five trucking companies, one from Seattle, one from Tacoma, two from Ellensburg and one from Yakima. Also a member is the former president of Western Peterbuilt, a large truck dealership.

Also included are a former director of the Bullitt Foundation; an investment executive; a former state senator who was chair of the Senate Transportation Committee when the Nickel Fund was passed, starting the road expansion activities now underway today; and the former owner and Chief Executive Officer of Superior Asphalt Company and past chairman of the Board of the National Asphalt Paving Association.

Greener or safer

W

e applaud the city’s move toward conservation and sustainability. But the City Council’s vote to join PSE’s green power program — by sending PSE extra dollars based on the city’s energy bill — has us thinking about how we would spend that money.

But first, what is the Green Power program? It is a way that individual cities, businesses or individuals can donate money to help promote the development of renewable power. If our nation’s power consumption were less dependent on thermal power, we would all be better off.

However, in terms of being viable sources of power for huge utility systems of the likes of PSE, renewable power resources are in their infancy. The miniscule amount of energy they produce is hugely expensive. There must be financial incentives, better technology and economies of scale in place to encourage real investment in green energy — not just hopes and wishing.

Voluntary Green Power programs will not bring in enough money to do so.

This was not PSE’s idea.

They do not make money on this program. The company is required by law to administer it and to increase the amount of sustainable power resources they use. Ordinarily, they would not purchase electricity from these tiny suppliers because they do not pencil out; for their owners or their customers.

Yet, the Mercer Island City Council has decided that the city will lead by example, step up and invest in this fledgling power initiative by using city dollars.

At the same time, there will not be any lifeguards at Groveland Beach because of budget cuts. The $6,000 that the city will spend through the Green Power program is the equivalent of two part-time lifeguards.

Can the city find other dollars to do both? Probably.

Let’s encourage them to do so. Maybe they forgot about lifeguards. It is easy to do in our endless rainy season.

We are all for a cleaner environment. But we think keeping swimmers safe at our lakefront parks and hiring Island youth for summer jobs comes first.

‘Due to budget cuts, lifeguards will again be absent from Groveland Beach this summer.’

All proceeds of the sale of this book will benefit the Historical Society, and in the future will fund a robust, searchable website that will contain hundreds of photos, memoirs, documents and other historical data about Mercer Island.

We believe the publication of another Mercer Island history at this time is ill-advised, confusing to the public and detrimental to the fundraising capacity of the Mercer Island Historical Society. While the two projects are different in scope — the Historical Society’s book will be a complete text of the Island’s history from the 1800s to now, with hundreds of photos, while the Arcadia book will be photos and captions only — they will be competing publications.

Margot was active with Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, the Arboretum Foundation, many small trips with both the entire family and with Lloyd only, Volkswalk and lots more. Lloyd died in 1994 after a harmonious 43 years. Margot left the Island (after 45 years) in 2006 to live at Spiritwood. Margot is survived by her sons, two daughters-in-law, and eight grandchildren.

Leap for Green is community effort What a celebration it was! Kids of all ages gathered at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center on April 21 for the fifth annual Leap for Green Fair, co-hosted by IslandVision and the city of Mercer Island.

This year the theme was “Food.” Everyone learned about sustainable farming practices, saw goats

in action and ate fabulous food from MI Farmers Market vendors. Chef Tom was there showing kids how to make a simple healthy lunch … a big hit!

The Lexicon of Sustainability was introduced with beautiful posters, which will engage us all in a new vocabulary.

Look for its appearance around the Island in the months ahead.

The Mercer Island Community Fund generously supported all of this. What a great community we have, to have a community-funded group such as this ready and willing to move our collective well-being forward.

Thank you so much to the Community Fund for making this extraordinary day possible for all Mercer Islanders.

12 Islanders qualify for district track meet

By Heidi Seaborn

Special to the Reporter

Mercer Island’s Taylor Dahlgren tries to stay clear of a Holy Names player during the Islanders’ first playoff game of the season, which they won, on Tuesday, May 8.

Playoffs | FROM 14 week in the SeaKing district tournament, beginning Tuesday, May 15 at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle. The top five advance to the state tournament.

Mercer Island girls lacrosse advances to state semifinals The Mercer Island girls lacrosse team took one more step closer to the state finals on Friday night, beating Issaquah 21-10 in the quarterfinals.

The Islanders move forward to play No. 1 Bainbridge on Tuesday night, with the winner moving forward to the May 19 state championship game.

Against Issaquah on Friday, Tyler Sherper scored seven goals, tying her regular season best performance. The junior has had three games with seven goals this spring.

Dulce Moll added four goals of her own, with six assists and a draw control. Madison Blackburn put up three goals for the team, with two ground balls and three draw controls. Elena Skouras posted three goals, while Taylor Dahlgren added

two goals, two ground balls and two draw controls. Megan Jemley posted a goal, as did Saffron Snethen. Goalie Erika Eagan made eight saves during the game.

Mercer Island is now 11-2-1 this season, while Issaquah finished with a 12-3 record.

Bainbridge is 10-1-1 this season. The Spartans beat Overlake 17-5 last Thursday to advance to the semifinals.

After a season marked with extraordinary rain during every meet since their first, the Mercer Island track and field KingCo finalists finally had sun when they took to the Juanita track on Friday, May 11.

With 40 athletes qualifying, the Islanders finished fourth for the girls and fifth for the boys.

One of the meet’s highlights was sophomore Eric Schulz’s 800-meter win.

Schulz ran in the pack for the first 400 meters, before making his move and finally pulling ahead in the final stretch to win in 1:55.13 — a personal record. In the pouring rain on Wednesday, sophomore Sarah Bjarnason elbowed out her competition in the preliminary to win and advance to the finals. Two days later, she ran a personal best of 2:22.10 to take second. Sophomore Alida Scalzo also ran a personal best of 5:17.93 to finish second in the 1,600 meters and went on to claim second in the 3,200 with a time of 11:30.44.

most talented middle distance runners in the state and they are only sophomores,” said head coach Lezley Smith.

The individual sprinters faced extremely fast competition with only senior Nicky Sinclair qualifying for the district meet next week, having placed fourth in the 200 with a time of 23.28.

The 4x400 relay of Daniel Mayer, Shulz, Risley and Dylan Lesko made the grade to qualify with a fourthplace time of 3:36.13. The 4x100 relay race proved exciting with junior Risley Lesko starting it off from an inside lane back position.

He handed it off to Sinclair, who made up a great deal of the stagger start, before handing off to senior Josh Wong. Wong held onto that pace, but when it came to the hand-off to anchor senior Jeff Lindquist, they didn’t connect right away.

“It was a horrible handoff,” Lindquist conceded.

Lindquist easily made up for it, despite being up against some of the best sprinting talent in the state,

“Three of us were running with colds or flu, and the hand-off definitely cost us.

We know if we are healthy and work on our handoffs over the next couple days, we can shave a lot of time off that and make it to state.

We’ve got one more shot,” said Sinclair.

In the field events, senior Carly Andersen turned in a personal best in the discus with a throw of 106’05 for second in KingCo. Andersen took the first place medal in javelin with a throw of 125’05. In the boys’

javelin, Peter Brockway placed fourth with a throw of 165’01 to advance to districts. Also advancing to the districts in field events are long jumpers Sinclair and junior Lorial Yeadon, who both captured fourth.

Sinclair jumped 20’10, and Yeadon jumped 15’5.5.

“I am really proud of the team and all that has been accomplished in terms of personal records for each athlete this year,” said coach Smith.

The SeaKing district meet begins Wednesday, May 15, at 4 p.m. at the Southwest Complex in West Seattle.

Australian family helps to define Mercer Island lacrosse

By Linda Williams Rorem Special to the Reporter

When Liz Game was growing up in Western Australia, she never thought much about a future beyond the Perth suburb of Bayswater, where she lived, and enjoyed family time in and around a lacrosse clubhouse, either playing, coaching, refereeing, or watching her dad, brothers and sister do the same.

In her wildest dreams, she couldn’t have imagined that one day she would move to the Seattle area, where she would work as a high school girls’ lacrosse coach while her husband, Rob, coached boys’ lacrosse and worked for a lacrosse equipment store.

She never envisioned having sons that would attend a high school as rigorous as MIHS, and go on to college in North Carolina, on lacrosse scholarships.

Life was different when the young girl, now known

as Mercer Island resident Liz Shields, was young. While friends and neighbors sailed, played soccer and football and dabbled in cricket, her family’s fall and winter weekends (March through September on that side of the world) were spent in and around that lacrosse clubhouse. Most who played for the club didn’t have the option of playing college lacrosse, so either attended university or went straight into trades while working toward futures in Perth that involved recreational lacrosse.

For Rob Shields, coach of Mercer Island’s infamous seventh- and eighth-grade select “Black Team” since 2008, life was similar. Although Shields’ family was not involved in lacrosse, a good buddy got him hooked on the sport when he was about 8 years old. And while he and Liz took part in a rather small lacrosse community, they

Rob and Liz Shields are active members in the Mercer Island lacrosse community after moving to the Island from Australia.

Anderson — the guy who sells Dave’s Famous BBQ at football and lacrosse games (and now serves as a JV assistant coach) — offered to house Daniel.

“The idea was for him to go to Mercer Island for just one year,” Liz says with a smile. That was in 2007.

The following May, Rob made a trip to Mercer Island to see his son, visit with old friends Morley and O’Hearn, and take stock of the local lacrosse community. He learned that after two years, Morley was ready to return home, and by the time his visit had ended, Shields had agreed to replace him.

“Daniel wanted to stay and finish high school on Mercer Island, and Matt was just fine with moving,” Rob says.

The last hold-out was Liz, who had just started a new job and was not anxious to leave her family and friends behind. However, she gave Rob a tentative “yes” over the phone, and the family began plans for a two-year stint on Mercer Island. That was four years ago.

In September 2008, Rob and Daniel returned in time for the school year’s start — and on the day of tryouts for the Black Team, which Rob would be coaching. “I arrived that morning and went straight to tryouts. Then, I started working at Breakaway Lacrosse [a lacrosse gear store] the next morning.”

Back in Perth, Daniel finished the lacrosse season —

To:

playing on the country’s winning U-15 team — and Liz continued to fill the 40-foot sea container that still sits on her dad’s property. She and Daniel filled a few suitcases and headed to the airport that October.

“I had always lived in Perth, and the house we lived in, we had bought from my dad,” says Liz. “It was really hard” to leave friends and family behind, she recalls.

However, the fact that Daniel had already spent a year on the Island made the move easier for the family.

“He was already part of the lacrosse community, and the team was an amazing experience for him.”

Community members welcomed the rest of the Shields family with open arms.

“People here were amazing,” Liz says. “They were really welcoming. They really helped with the transition and so many other ways, and we [all] made good friends [quickly]. Some people even gave us furniture for our home, because we left all of ours behind in Perth.”

The move dramatically changed the course of Daniel’s and Matthew’s lives.

“At home, Daniel had already started a pre-apprenticeship as a plumber,” says Rob; college was not in the picture for either boy.

As an MIHS senior in the spring of 2009, Daniel was — quite ironically — named a U.S. Lacrosse “All American” and the All-State First Team.

But, less than a week before the State Championship game against Issaquah, Daniel’s ankle snapped during practice. The break kept him out of the game, and the team lost by one point.
