For the first time since settling on three options, the Mercer Island School District heard straight from community members at a Mercer Island Rotary lunch on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

During the district’s first large group presentation of the options for a new school, done by Bob Wheeler with Triangle Associates, the audience heard why it has

become so important to ease overcrowding and what the district is considering to do.

Following a breakdown of the various options and why they were considered, the audience was given the chance to ask questions and provide input.

One woman asked if the teachers and principals had any concerns about a possible change to the fifth-eighth grade configuration, and if that would possibly hurt the district’s ability to recruit teachers.

“We asked the principals that question,” said MISD Superintendent Gary Plano. “They like having larger elementary

[schools], but that option didn’t pass. They have said this would work, and have also said they are open to having four elementary schools.”

He added that teachers and principals at the high school are already working on educational specs for the STEM addition, which would add classrooms for math and science labs.

“We recruit [teachers] well in large part because of our small class sizes,” said Plano. “That’s part of the reason why we need more space.”

Plano answered another question concerning the grade configuration and what the other districts that use it have found.

“There’s very little research about what configurations are best,” said Plano. “The upside is students are at the middle school for an extra year; they can take

IMS Ski Swap is this Saturday, Nov. 3

Natural gas rates charged by four major natural gas companies, including Puget Sound Energy, will fall by 7 percent beginning tomorrow, Nov. 1.

The monthly bill charged to customers who use an average of 82 therms a month will decline nearly $6.

The Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission, which regulates energy company rates, notes that natural gas companies in Washington are required to adjust rates periodically to reflect changes in wholesale prices.

More than half to about twothirds of a customer’s monthly bill is attributable to the cost of natural gas, on which the company is not allowed to earn a profit.

One year $39, two years just $59

Federal Way tries again to pass $60 million levy for high school

The Federal Way School District is asking voters to

How many students attend private school Fewer Island students attend private schools

By Mary L. Grady

editor@mi-reporter.com

School district leaders have long discussed why and where Island parents decided to take their students to school.

As the school district plans to rebuild Island schools, much of the discussion has included how many students the district needs to accommodate. Part of that equation means counting the number of students who attend private schools.

Enrollment at Mercer Island schools has rebounded somewhat from 2007 with the advent of the recession and more students living on the Island in new housing, primarily in the Town Center.

A chart prepared by the Mercer Island School District shows how many Island school-age children attend private school, either here or off-Island.

According to school district data for the 2011-2012 school year, 468 students attended 29 private schools both on approve a $60 million levy for a new high school.

and off the Island for the school term in 20112012.

The total is down 51 students or about 11 percent from 2007 levels. It represents between 12 to 15 percent of Island school-age students.

For the 2011-2012 school term, the highest number of Islander students attending private schools could be found at St. Monica School, with 83 students, an amount down slightly from 2007.

There were 63 Island youth who attended the French-American School here, up from 47 five years ago.

Three off-Island schools had 30 or more Islanders attending.

They are Forest Ridge, Lakeside and Seattle Academy.

Five schools had between 15 and 24 Islander students. They are Eastside Catholic, Holy Names, The Bush School, Open Window School and Seattle Preparatory Academy.

Five schools had between 10 and 15 students, including Seattle Hebrew Academy, Seattle Girls School, Seattle Country Day, Northwest Yeshiva High School and The Northwest School. ments to playground equipment at 19 of the district’s elementary schools.

The levy needs a simple majority (50 percent plus one) to pass.

Approximately 1,500 students attend Federal Way High School. The school was extensively remodeled in 2002. It was originally a elementary school built around 1930.

The levy initiative failed in February of this year.

Superintendent Rob Neu shared his thoughts on this second attempt at getting voters to say yes to the levy.

“The thing I’m really proud of is, we started this conversation back in April, and we’ve continued it until now,” he said. “And through the process, we really listened to the input we received since last February when we failed this particular levy initiative. I believe the work that has been done this time has honored the voices of the community.”

OPINION

Mercer Island rEporter | www.mi-reporter.com

Vote ‘Yes’ on Prop. 1, I-502 I

f you have not voted already — it is time to do so and make sure you vote yes on the $5 million dollar bond to rebuild the 1960s-era South end firehouse on S.E. 68th Street. It is falling apart. If the voters say “yes” to the levy, the new place will not be fancy. The proposed levy will fund a barebones replacement. After much hand-wringing, the Council voted to minimize the size of the new station. Yes, the bond issue includes funding for a new emergency rescue truck, a step that had been planned for several years. While the truck may not have many miles on it, replacing it later will mean it will cost more with higher borrowing costs, a higher sticker price.

But beyond the real need for timely emergency services, whether it is a life or death medical call or an earthquake, the firehouse serves as the city’s presence in the everyday life of the community — an invaluable community amenity. What does it say about our community values to skimp on the firehouses or delay replacing key equipment? No one seems to mind when hundreds of thousands of dollars (albeit from different funds including private donations) are paid for resurfacing ballfields.

Speaking of money, it is plainly time to legalize and tax marijuana.

We’ve waged a war on drugs for decades. Sometimes the battle is worth it, but many times it is not. The illegality of marijuana doesn’t mean it’s not available. Far from it. It is grown extensively and is readily available to those who want it. But, because it’s “illegal,” we waste millions of law-enforcement dollars trying to eradicate it, money that would be better spent stopping violent crime. Some worry that marijuana is a gateway drug, leading people to harder — and more destructive — substances. But that remains debatable and beside the point. The public can buy liquor and tobacco products in their neighborhood grocery store. Government isn’t about to stop that — it makes too much money by taxing them. Marijuana should be treated — and taxed — the same.

Vote “yes” on I-502.

‘It is plainly time to legalize and tax marijuana.’

To the editor Don’t delay new firehouse, equipment I believe that it is imperative to pass the Fire Station and Fire Apparatus Levy to rebuild the South end fire station as well as purchase a new truck and equipment. As a former firefighter in a major metropolitan city, we were trained not to become a victim during any given emergency response. If the South end station fails structurally during a major seismic event, we could possibly lose our fire personnel and equipment, adding our would-be rescuers to our victim list. With limited fire personnel on duty (especially at night), the South end station needs to be fully functional during an emergency to respond to the citizens’ needs on that end of the Island.

With Mercer Island positioned on top of a fault line, it’s only a question of when, not if. It may not occur in our lifetime, but now is the time to prepare. Let’s not put this off any longer, pass this levy and give the fire department the resources needed to carry out their duties.

Prop. 1 is investment in Island community

No matter where on the political spectrum you might fall, voting to approve Proposition 1 for fire and rescue is the right thing to do for our Mercer Island community.

Have your say

The costs associated with this safety measure are reasonable. On average, Island homeowners will be assessed $60 per year for the coming nine years. In return, Islanders get a new South end fire station expected to last 50 years and a new rescue truck — ensuring firefighters and their needed equipment will be there to help in case of a fire, major disaster, medical emergency, car or water accident or construction mishap.

While I hope none of us ever needs the services of our fire department, last year, there were 2,300 incidences on Mercer Island requiring emergency fire response. The men and women who serve the Island respond so well because they are prepared and equipped to do so. We must continue to invest in their ability to react with facilities and equipment that ensure public safety.

In addition to important peace of mind, Proposition 1 is an excellent investment in our community’s infrastructure and safety going forward.

DOT worker helps injured man

Every year hundreds of children take to the streets for Halloween. No matter what age you are, here are a few easy tips from the Mercer Island Police Department to help keep you and your trick-or-treaters safe: • Don’t ever go into a stranger’s house. Always have a parent or responsible adult with you when going to a stranger’s door.

• Always look both ways before crossing a street. If you are going to be walking around dark streets and in neighborhoods at night, wear reflective tape and take a flashlight.

• Don’t trick-ortreat in neighborhoods alone. Make sure you are accompanied by a responsible parent or adult.

• Eat only factorywrapped candy. Don’t eat anything that is homemade unless you know, and trust, the person who gave it to you.

• Always tell someone/ parents when and what areas you will be trickor-treating in before you go out.

• Some people use this holiday to commit crimes against property and animals. Do not partake in any act that can hurt someone, an animal, or something that does not belong to you.

• Watch those jack-o’lanterns that are lit with a candle — make sure they are not close to anything flammable.

• If you are having a party this year, be courteous and responsible.

After 10 p.m., the city of Mercer Island does have an enforceable noise ordinance. If you serve alcohol at your party, don’t let people drink and drive. Make sure everyone has a safe ride home.

s we approach the local and national elections, we might consider how we engage in public dialogue with our fellow citizens.

The members of the Mercer Island Clergy Association would like to urge our friends and neighbors to participate in public discourse in a respectful and thoughtful manner.

Recently, many in the community have expressed concerns that the tenor of public meetings and letters have, at times, not reflected the appropriate measure of civility that we desire to foster in our close-knit Island community.

Vigorous debate on the issues of importance to our community and nation are appropriate and necessary, and can be conducted with respect and consideration for other viewpoints.

We believe that the whole community benefits from the contributions of each of its members, and so we recommend having the intention of listening to one another as well as speaking.

We hope that Mercer Island residents will express their opinions on the issues, whether national or local, in an agreeable manner, thus contributing to a healthy and productive community forum.

Fred Hutch doctor, E. Donnall Thomas, ‘father’ of bone marrow transplants, dies Fred Hutch Cancer Center was founded to further Thomas’ early research

By Mary L. Grady

editor@mi-reporter.com

Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide are alive today because of the ground-breaking work of Seattle physician and researcher, E. Donnall Thomas, M.D., and his colleagues.

Thomas, who won the 1990 Nobel Prize in physiology/medicine for his pioneering work in bonemarrow transplantation to cure leukemias and other blood cancers, died Oct. 21. He was 92.

The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) announced the death.

His revolutionary work is among the greatest success stories in cancer treatment. According to the FHCRC, bone marrow transplantation and its sister therapy, blood stem cell transplantation, have had worldwide impact, boosting survival rates from nearly zero to up to 90 percent for some blood cancers. This year, approximately 60,000 transplants will be performed worldwide.

Thomas joined the faculty of Fred Hutchinson

Hyatt

Cancer Research Center in 1974 as its first director of medical oncology. He later became the director of the Center’s Clinical Research Division.

Thomas, along with his wife and research partner, Dottie — a trained medical technologist — and a small team of fellow researchers stubbornly pursued transplantation throughout the 1960s and 1970s despite doubts by many prominent physicians of the day.

“Don quite literally wrote the book on marrow transplantation,” said Fred Appelbaum, M.D., director of the Hutchinson Center’s Clinical Research Division.

“Don was a hero.”

“To the world, Don Thomas will forever be known as the father of bone marrow transplantation, but to his colleagues at Fred Hutch, he will be remembered as a friend, colleague, mentor and pioneer,” said Larry Corey, M.D., president and director of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

“The work Don Thomas did to establish marrow transplantation as a successful treatment for leukemia and other otherwise fatal diseases of the blood is responsible for saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the globe.”

team that labored in the basement of temporary facilities at the former brick U.S. Public Health Hospital on Beacon Hill.

A FHCRC press release described their mission.

“They sought to do what others were convinced would never work: to cure leukemia and other cancers of the blood by destroying a patient’s diseased bone marrow with near-lethal doses of radiation and chemotherapy, and then rescuing the patient by transplanting healthy marrow.”

Thomas plainly knew it was controversial.

“In the 1960s in particular, and even into the 1970s, there were very responsible physicians who said this would never work,” Thomas said in an interview. “Some suggested it shouldn’t go on as an experimental thing.”

Seattle surgeon William Hutchinson, M.D., decided to support Thomas and his team and build the group a permanent home. The original Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center building in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood opened in 1975.

Columbia Valley AVA is called a “macro” AVA, as it contains other AVAs such as Yakima Valley. In turn, Yakima Valley also contains AVAs, such as Rattle Snake Hills.

Jones of Washington red wines are from the Wahluke Slope AVA, which is a geographically isolated, generally south-facing slope near the Saddle Mountains in southeastern Washington.

Temperatures are among the highest; precipitation, the lowest. Jones of Washington white wines are from the new Ancient Lakes AVA, which is cooler and is near the town of Quincy.

T h e Ancient Lakes AVA was an outlet point for floods that are estimated to have taken place about 15,000 years ago.

Ice dams would repeatedly form and break, releasing torrents from Lake Missoula, which would surge across Eastern Washington, eroding the soil to barren scabland. Today, a thin layer of soil sits atop basalt. In some places, it is three feet deep; in others, three inches.

White Gold

Digging British Columbia’s legendary motherlode.

Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is filled by what you see: mountains on every horizon— rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts.

Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky.

Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defies description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because finding it brings a fortune in fun.

You’ll know that after your first run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the

lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one?

Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering.

Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and offpiste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt.

Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also find friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food.

Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that first turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold.

Water polo beats Bellevue Mercer Island wins for portion of league title KingCo tournament

By Megan Managan

mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

By Megan Managan

mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

A spirited, rowdy crowd cheered on the Mercer Island boys water polo as they took on archrival and defending state champions, Bellevue, on Wednesday, Oct. 24. The Islanders won 10-6.

The Islanders were hungry to beat Bellevue in the final game of the regular season after losing 5-8 in their first contest early October.

Besides the bragging rights, the Islanders were looking to secure a higher seed for the state tournament and a portion of the North League regular season title.

The Islanders played aggressive from the start

against Bellevue, winning the opening sprint and putting in an Anthony Pedreira goal in the open seconds to seize control of the game and a lead they would never relinquish. Six Islanders scored, led by sophomore Topher LeCrampe, with four.

After Bellevue received possession, the ball changed sides twice from steals until Bellevue converted to bring the score to 1-1. The ball was stolen again by the Islanders, and this time Mercer Island scored and never looked back halfway through the first quarter. The Islanders kept the momentum going, maintaining the lead during the rest of the entire game.

The Islanders were able to score from a variety of players and positions, including a key lob shot by junior Chris Apodaca and a push-in off a rebound by senior David Rudokas.

Mercer Island’s strong defense both across the pool and in the hole forced Bellevue to take off-target shots from farther out, or giving freshman goalkeeper Matt LeProwse more time to make one of his six blocks in the game. The Islanders defense also keyed the winning effort, with Senior Connor Gullstad pulling in seven steals and dishing out three assists.

Earlier in the week, the team beat Roosevelt, 13-11, in another conference game.

The teams were tied, 4-4, at the end of the first quarter, and Roosevelt was up 8-7 at halftime, but a strong second half by Mercer Island, featuring a four-goal third quarter and two goals in the final minutes, gave the team the edge.

It was an exciting game

Water polo | Page 15

the Islanders held on to win game one, 25-23.

In the second game, the Islanders jumped to an early 10-5 lead over the Wildcats, but Mount Si climbed back into the game, within one point of the lead. But Mercer Island regained control and won it 25-22.

Mount Si pushed and dominated through the sec-

ond half of game three after giving the Islanders early control. Mount Si was able to hang on for the 25-19 win to force a fourth game in the set.

Mercer Island quickly reestablished itself through several impressive rallies and grabbed the 7-3 start.

While Mount Si did its best

Bellevue shuts out Mercer Island to end regular season

By Megan Managan

mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

In Mercer Island’s final home game of the regular season, Bellevue won in a shutout. The final score was 42-0.

It’s the first time in six years that the Islanders have not scored at all during a game. In 2007 against Newport, the Islanders lost 38-0.

The game started with an 89-yard run by Budda Baker with 3:07 on the clock in the first quarter.

The Wolverines hit the end zone on the team’s first play of the game, but was called back due to a holding call.

Just minutes later, with 11:08 on the clock in the

beginning of the second quarter, Bellevue scored the second touchdown of the night, this time a 58-yard run by Max Richmond for the 14-0 lead.

After halftime, Bellevue’s John Nguyen scored the first of his three touchdowns in the third quarter with 10:16 on the clock after a 36-yard run. His second of the night came off a 3-yard run with 7:34 left in the quarter, followed by the third, a 2-yard run with 2:50 left.

Bellevue led 35-0 at the end of the third quarter.

Mercer Island held off the Wolverines’ advances until 5:49 in the fourth quarter, when Mustafa Branch hit

the mark off a 5-yard run.

Bellevue had a total of 393 yards, 328 of those from rushing, while Mercer Island had just 185 yards, 136 passing and 49 rushing.

The Islanders gave up 48 yards stemming from seven penalties, while Bellevue had three penalties, costing the team 19 yards.

Bellevue is now 9-0 this season, and earned the team’s fourth shutout of the season. Mercer Island is now 5-4 this year.

This Friday, Mercer Island will play its final game of the season, against West Seattle. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start at Mercer Island High School.

Mercer Island High School sophomore Trevor Gullstad looks for an open teammate during the Islanders’ home win over Bellevue last week.

For the third time this season, the Mercer Island volleyball team beat Mount Si. On Saturday night it was on the team’s biggest stage so far, taking down the Wildcats to win the KingCo tournament and earn the No. 1 seed to the SeaKing District event next week.

Mercer Island beat Mount Si, 3-1.

“It’s an amazing feeling, we’ve wanted this every year and we finally did it,” said head coach Susan McKay. “I’m really, really proud of the team. It was 100 percent a team effort and they just played so well.”

In what has become typical of a meeting between the two teams, the first game was neck-and-neck the whole way. Mount Si almost forced Mercer Island to go for extra points, but
