Navy pilot fought war on two fronts Captain Art Jacobson just received Bronze Star for service in WWII

By Mary L. Grady

editor@mi-reporter.com

For Islander Art Jacobson, a Bronze Star for his meritorious service in World War II came 60 years late.

His memories of those harrowing days have faded. He is 97 now, but his bearing and reserve are military. A hip replacement at age 92 has slowed him, but not too much. He still walks an hour each day at 10 a.m.

He is not too sure what the fuss is about those months at war. You did what you were told and what

you had to do. In the days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, there was no time for questions.

The career Navy man was born in Tacoma in 1915. He was always interested in flying, he said.

Mechanically minded, he helped out at the service stations that his father owned around town.

In high school, he and fellow students built a working glider. At 16, he was flying whenever he could afford to pay for the fuel. Later, he attended the University of Washington when he had money, working between semesters in the years after the stock market fell.

Finally, he enlisted in the Navy and was sent to Florida for flight training in the late 1930s.

His first assignment was Hawaii.

He was later sent to the Philippines

in the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. He piloted amphibious PBY Catalinas.

The PBY was the Navy’s “eyes in the sky” for the Pacific fleet.

Their job was to search for, and locate, an enemy fleet hundreds of miles away from the fleet before it could attack.

The Navy and President Roosevelt were keen to know what the Japanese were up to, and the PBY was the plane to do it. It had the range and ability to go to where the Japanese were and report on them. It was slow, not very maneuverable and did not have self-sealing fuel tanks or bulletproof armor for the crew or pilots. Regardless of its shortcomings, it was the only plane that the Navy had capable of doing the job.

In the hours and days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese and their quick and deadly Zero fighters turned their attention to the American bases

Navy Captain Arthur Jacobson, a pilot, top row, third from left, commanded crews on the amphibious PBY Catalina aircraft during the months after Pearl Harbor in both the Philippines and Alaska.

Less than a week after Superstorm Sandy caused chaos in the greater New York area, thousands of runners headed to the city for the annual New York City Marathon.

Mercer Island resident Ginny Pietila and her husband, Bradley, decided to make the trip, though the couple whom they planned to travel with decided to defer their entry until next year. But after the Pietilas traveled across the country last Thursday, it was announced on Friday evening, New York time, that

Pilot | FROM 1 in the Philippines. But after months of patrolling the Islands, the PBY pilots knew the territory well. They knew places where they could hide.

They had learned to duck into the clouds.

But there were many casualties. The PBYs were regularly strafed with bullets.

The men kept broken pencils with them to plug the bullet holes in the plane.

Bob Bergstrom, the son of Jacobson’s good friend and fellow Navy pilot, Captain Edward W. Bergstrom, has

written extensively about the role of PBYs in the war. He was responsible for WWII PBY crews and pilots receiving the Bronze Star awards recently, including his father, now deceased, and his father’s old friend, Jacobson.

In a recent story on the Orders and Medals Society of America website, Bergstrom described what the PBY fliers faced against the quicker and superior Zeros.

“There were no real navigation aids, no maps. It was celestial navigation and dead reckoning at its best. The pilots observed what was around them. Sometimes

they would fly close to the sea to check the direction of the wind on the waves,” he wrote.

When asked if he was ever afraid during these arduous patrols, Jacobson took a long pause. “Only just scared to death,” he said.

The Zeros decimated U.S. bases and their aircraft in the Philippines. The pilots and crews were finally forced south and ended up in the Dutch East Indies after a series of marathon flights.

They went on to Australia, where they only had the clothes on their backs when they arrived. They were exhausted and hungry.

Within a few days, they were put on a ship and sent back to the states.

After a short break stateside, Jacobson and other PBY pilots were sent to the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, where the Japanese had set up shop looking to extend their reach into North America.

The extreme weather was hard on both the planes and the men who lived along the shore in canvas tents.

The Japanese had invaded the Island of Kiska and bombed Dutch Harbor.

The PBYs were placed on almost round-the-clock missions. Any and all PBYs were ordered to make bombing runs on Kiska Harbor during their normal patrol. The missions sometimes lasted

Many were lost.

Most just disappeared, Jacobson said. “We would never know what happened to them. They would just not come back.”

During all of this, a U.S. submarine went aground, leaving its crew stranded and vulnerable. Jacobson commanded three planes that went to pick up the men.

“It was foggy,” he remembered. “We had to fly just 50 feet off the water.”

The process must show that a structure is needed to protect a use or a structure.

Finally: The new plan includes changes and more options for the use of vegetation to mitigate changes to the shoreline.

Saunders emphasizes that existing docks and bulkheads are allowed to remain and to be repaired or maintained. Any extensions or major revisions, however, are subject to the SMP standards and requirements.

“The key to all of this is the ‘no net loss rule,’” said Saunders. “That means existing structures can stay in place and be repaired and maintained. The plan is to make sure that no new structures will take away from or degrade the shoreline.”

Saunders points out that 80 percent of the Mercer Island shoreline has already been “armored” with bulkheads.

Once finalized, the SMP becomes law governing any new structures and major changes to the shoreline.

What Happens to the Food QFC Can’t Sell Part of QFC’s mission has always been to “sell the highest quality foods at surprisingly affordable prices.” Quality is so important that it’s part of our name, Quality Food Centers. Because quality is so important to us, we put a great deal of emphasis on stocking our stores correctly. We try to order enough product to meet our customers’ demand, but not so much that it remains on our shelves past its prime. But sometimes we order more fresh products than we can sell. When that happens and we find ourselves with food that is perfectly safe and healthful to eat, but which no longer meets our standards for freshness and quality, we have a plan and a partnership in place to provide this nutritious food to hungry people in our communities.

QFC has built partnerships with Food Lifeline and the Oregon Food Bank to donate this perishable food to local food banks. Not a lot of people know this, but products that have gone past our date for quality and freshness still have a couple of

Together Food Lifeline and Oregon Good Bank support over 1,000 local food banks and hot meal programs in Western Washington and Oregon. They are able to determine which of our donated foods can go to food banks or need to be used right away at meal programs, such as at shelters.

Thanks to Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank, their member agencies receive this nutritious food that they then supply to hungry people in our communities. Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank provide program support and training to their respective networks to ensure that the partner agencies can concentrate on getting food to the hungry people who need it most.

The Department of Ecology has reviewed the city’s first submittal of the update, and at the meeting, will compare Mercer Island’s proposed program to the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines.

Based on the comparison, DOE will decide whether to: approve the program as is or with recommended changes, or send the proposed program back to Mercer Island with required changes to meet statutory and rule requirements. Recommended changes may also be included with the required changes.

he move by the Mercer Island School Board to hold their meetings in the City Council chambers at City Hall is a move toward more transparency and inclusiveness. No one can say that the School Board’s deliberations are not open or available to all. The meetings can be viewed at home on public access channel 21.

Hooray to the city for making it as easy (and inexpensive) as possible for the board to use the facility. This sharing is a step in the right direction.

As the School Board moves to finalize what is needed to deliver a 21st century education to Island students and how much it will cost, Islanders can also witness some of the discussions about curriculum and other matters unrelated to facilities. Perhaps more can come to appreciate the complexity of overseeing a school system in the 21st century.

One of the key challenges facing the board is how to prioritize and weigh the cost of constructing new buildings plus or minus the other valuable community assets that surround the high school. Those assets — YTN, the high school stadium and the pool — are at risk.

The school district is not obligated to provide for these other community assets. Their mission is education. Yet, school leaders know they cannot ignore their presence and how much they enrich the learning process.

If the community wants these included in a school bond issue, they must be willing to stand up and say so.

As the School Board sets out to rebuild facilities, many still want to know why such big changes are necessary and why they cost so much. One just has to look at nearby school districts and what they are proposing for their buildings to see what is needed. It is doubtful that any of those plans are gold-plated.

Islanders cannot say with any credibility that what was good enough for them is good enough for our youth. It is not. As good as they may be, teachers cannot make up for the dearth of space within a building or the lack of state-of-the-art tools needed to prepare students for a world beyond the schoolhouse.

‘The move to hold School Board meetings at City Hall is a positive step.’

MIPD reunites Chihuahua lost near park with Island owner

By Reporter Staff

A lost Chihuahua, found

by Mercer Island police near Homestead Park, was reunited with his owner on Halloween, Oct. 31. The owner is employed on the Island and saw the online news story about his lost dog.

The dog’s name is “Topo,” which means “mole” in Spanish.

Mercer Island police left-hand side preparing to cross the street. The vehicle then struck the 84-year-old, who was using a walker to cross the street on the righthand side of 77th Avenue.

The woman was treated by the Mercer Island Fire Department and was transported to Harborview Hospital.

A witness, who was driving behind the Lexus, told police that the driver was not going more than 18 miles per hour at the time of the collision.

The police department was dispatched to the incident at 2:52 p.m. and arrived at 2:55 p.m.

found the small, tan male Chihuahua near Homestead Park on Tuesday, Oct. 30. He did not have a collar and was not microchipped, but was in great condition.

A MIPD staff member took the dog home overnight and the MIPD kept the dog during the day.

“We do not want to send him to Animal Control, so are trying to keep him with us until we can find his family,” Commander Leslie Burns said before the dog was claimed by its owner. “He is super friendly, very pretty and a good little guy, so I am sure someone is missing him greatly.”

After graduation from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Chemistry, he pursued a PhD in Oncology at the University of Wisconsin where he met and married his wife Jean in 1971. Upon finishing his PhD he did postdoctoral work first in Berlin and then in Giessen, Germany. In 1976, he began a long career doing research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. That same year he was thrilled at the birth of his first child, Reuben, and two years later with the addition of a daughter, Monica. The family enjoyed many vacations together over the years, including a Family Heritage Trip in 2010.

Larry enjoyed his work very much and continued to actually do his own research until the time of his death. His career was invigorated both by training many young scientists and by two sabbatical leaves. The first was to Melbourne, Australia in 1987, where the entire family enjoyed the experience of living abroad.

The second, for which he received a Guggenheim fellowship, was to Lyon, France in 2000. Larry made and maintained friendships with many people all around the world. Besides his work he enjoyed watercolor painting, photography, hiking, and traveling.

He is survived and will be missed by his wife Jean and children Reuben and Monica. Also his sister Carol, his mother-in-law Rosella, sister-in-law Phyllis (Mike), and brother-in-law Scott (Sandy), six nieces and nephews, ten great nieces and nephews, and many friends.

A memorial service to honor this remarkable husband, father and friend will be held December 2 at the Mercer Island Community Center. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Artist Trust (www.artisttrust.org), Amnesty International or a charity of your choice.

King County car thefts fall sharply

Traffic briefs SR-520 rebuild is under budget Constructing the full State Route 520 corridor from Interstate 5 to Redmond, including a new floating bridge and sixlane highway, is estimated to cost $522 million less than the 2009 legislative budget cap, the Washington State Department of Transportation said.

WSDOT finalized documents for a $300 million federal loan that will fund design and construction of the next portion of the SR-520 project — a westbound bridge between the west-end landing of the new floating bridge and Montlake.

At the same time, Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond ordered a review to fully understand the cause of concrete spalling and more-thanexpected cracking in new pontoons.

Issues that occurred during the first cycle will likely lead to additional, yet-tobe-determined costs for repairs and schedule delays under discussion between the state and its pontoon and bridge-replacement contractors. Negotiations will take place over the next few months.

Skeletons must remain in closet A motorist was cited recently for aggressive driving on Interstate 5 — and using a plastic skeleton as a “passenger” so he could drive in the carpool lane.

The driver was stopped at just after 7:30 p.m., Oct. 20, after a state trooper spotted his silver Mazda going 82 mph and making several unsafe lane changes on northbound I-5 near South 272nd Street near Kent, according to the Washington State Patrol.

After stopping the driver, the trooper noticed that what he originally believed was a passenger was in fact a seat-belted plastic skeleton wearing a sweatshirt. One of the lanes that the driver had used as he aggressively worked through traffic was the HOV lane, according to the state patrol.

The driver had no comment about his “passenger” and was cited for speed, unsafe lane change and the HOV violation.

The Nat i on a l Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines aggressive driving as, “The

Wednesday, November 7, 2012 | Page 7

commission of two or more moving violations that is likely to endanger other persons or property, or any single intentional violation that requires a defensive reaction of another driver.”

In an effort to locate and arrest those drivers who drive aggressively, the Washington State Patrol makes use of marked patrol officers and the Aggressive Driving Apprehension Team (ADAT) program.

The ADAT program uses unmarked/unconventional police vehicles equipped with mobile video cameras to detect and apprehend aggressive drivers.

State has highest seat belt use in the nation There is yet another sign that Washington drivers are doing the right thing. A newly released federal report shows that Washington state had the highest seat belt use rate in the nation in 2011 at 97.5 percent. This marks the seventh consecutive year that Washington’s seat belt use rate has been above 95 percent.

The Nat i on a l Highway Traffic Safety Administration released a report and table comparing seat belt use rates for all states and territories. The national average in 2011 was 84 percent.

Darrin Grondel, director of the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, was pleased. “News like this makes me proud to be living in Washington,” he said.

The Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center estimates that wearing lap-and-shoulder restraints reduces a vehicle

passenger’s risk of dying in a crash by 61 percent.

Trade those tire chains for socks?

A Washington D e p ar t m e nt of Transportation (WSDOT) blog explains the latest news in winter traction gear.

Each year, when the first snowfall hits, the agency is asked what it means when the sign says “Chains Required.”

According to the agency, it means most cars have to chain up — even those with studded tires. Studded tires don’t take the place of chains.

The blog explains: “Most of the time, those with four-wheel or all-wheel drive don’t have to chain up. You may be surprised to know that even four- and all-wheel drivers do need to have chains available in the vehicle.”

It is the law, Washington Administrative Code, WAC (204-24-035), on traction devices.

Yet, some vehicles are not designed for chain use.

In the past, those vehicles would not be allowed on the roadway during ‘Chains Required’ postings.

But this year, instead of chains, you can pull socks over your tires.

A product called ‘AutoSock’ was certified “as meeting or exceeding chain requirements for use when Chains Required signs are posted.”

Only the AutoSock brand has been approved for highways in Washington state.

Officials say dramatic decline in auto thefts due to enforcement, harsher sentencing

By Reporter Staff

Car thefts in King County have declined by more than half since the inception of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office implemented what they named the ‘Car Theft Initiative’ (CTI) in 2005.

Just seven years ago, King County ranked sixth in the nation in the rate of auto theft.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported that for 2011, the Seattle-King County metropolitan region ranked 12th for the number of stolen cars.

The number of auto thefts nationally is also trending down with a 3.3 percent drop from 2010 to 2011.

It is not known if the income of Island resident Paul Allen was included in the calculation.

The latest findings from the American Community Survey, by the U.S. Census Bureau, are the primary source of data on a wide range of important statistics about people and housing for every community across the country. The estimates released late last month cover a three-year period from 2009 to 2011.

The survey is the primary source of local estimates for most of the 40 topics it covers, such as education, income, poverty, occupation, language, nativity, ancestry and homeownership. The survey looked at cities with more than 20,000 residents. “ The American Community Survey esti-

“The statistics are indispensable to anyone who has to make decisions in the communities.”

Other Eastside cities scoring high on the list are: 2.

Sammamish: $141,712 5. Redmond: $114,330 6. Issaquah: $112,558 7. Kirkland: $107,122 12. Bellevue: $98,342.

Seattle was 16th on the list with a median family income of $91,898.

Marathon | FROM 1 the race would be canceled, just a day before it was set to go.

Speculation raged in the days after the storm passed as to whether or not the event could and should be held. Both New York Road Runners and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it would continue, until Friday when news broke that the race had in fact been canceled.

“The marathon has been an integral part of New York City’s life for 40 years and is an event tens of thousands of New Yorkers participate in and millions more watch,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a statement. “While holding the race would not require diverting resources from the recovery effort, it is clear that it has become the source of controversy and division.”

Prior to the announcement, Pietila said it was a hard choice for them on whether or not to go.

“We had a long discussion on the pros and cons,” said Ginny Pietila on whether or not they would even go to New York. Pietila coaches the Emerald City Triathlon Club and is the co-owner of Club Emerald on Mercer Island.

“I don’t want it to feel like we’re taking away service from anyone who needs it,” she said. “I’m glad we came.”

The Pietilas flew to JFK on Thursday night, and Ginny said flying into the city, they could see areas of darkness below them, obviously areas that were without power.

“It wasn’t a huge problem,” she said of traveling into the city. “We could see pockets of neighborhoods that were black, but traveling was very easy. We did have to stop at the checkpoint going into the city to show there were three of us in the car.”

But at night, coming into Manhattan, they could easily tell where the power began and ended.

Mercer Island resident and marathon runner Ginny Pietila stands with her race number at the New York City Marathon expo. Shortly after she finished registration, the race was canceled. Below, the now famous crane hangs above New York.

“Coming in from Queens, we could see the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, but to the south, everything was dark. It was very weird. The new Trade Center building was lit up — apparently it’s running on generators — [it] was like a beacon.”

She said they are staying in midtown Manhattan, about a block from the now famous hanging crane.

“It’s become a massive tourist attraction,” she said.

Despite the destruction in some parts of the city, other portions seem to be returning to normal.

“Everything seems status quo,” she said. “We went to the expo and picked up our packets and everything was running as it should.” Pietila said she did the race in 2005 and noticed very few differences from then.

Though she hadn’t heard anything official on the numbers, she said there had to be fewer people planning to be there than usual. She added several other runners from Mercer Island were already there.

“They’ve got to be down in numbers,” she said just hours before the race was canceled.

“I don’t know how many have deferred, but I know our friends did. But the expo was packed, wall-to-wall people.”

In their limited time out and about in the city, Pietila said everyone they talked to was glad that the marathon was scheduled to continue.

“The people we’ve talked to have been extremely glad we were there and that it was going on,” she said. “Granted, those people are the ones that benefit — waitresses, hotel staff, etc., that the race goes on.”

But instead of heading to the starting line on Sunday morning, the couple will head back to Mercer Island without having run 26.2 miles.

“This process allowed me to critically examine and reflect on the teaching practices I use in relation to a set of national standards as well as network with other professionals, both in my field and in my building.

Another crucial factor is community support.

We know the challenges our public schools face. Washington state has failed to adequately fund basic education. Nevertheless, Mercer Islanders refuse to accept failure. Approval of local levies, critical to the basic functioning of our schools, is a strong indicator of community support, but that only takes us so far.

Your support of the Mercer Island Schools Foundation, as well as our local PTAs and booster clubs, provides opportunities for our children to go above and

beyond basic education, allowing them to excel in the 21st century.

Mercer Island Schools Foundation support this year will include, among other things: curricula and materials for math, science and world language courses, providing opportunities that would not otherwise be available; funding for school improvement plans and classroom enrichment focused on personalized learning, so that each student receives the individual instruction needed to succeed; support for important community building programs teaching children understanding of, and empathy for, others; and grants to teachers who pursue national certification.

When your phone rings on Nov. 13 or 14, please answer the call. You can also make a donation online at www.mercerislandschoolsfoundation.com.

“The Schools Foundation provides opportunities that would not otherwise be available.”

“An exquisite and colorful fusion of art gallery, cultural museum, and trunk show. There’s nothing like it!”

YTN’s Annual Appeal is underway now. There are several new reasons to contribute.

Congressman Dave Reichert noted that it takes everyone in the community to come together to address this issue.

Friends of Youth P re s i d e nt Te r r y Pottmeyer, of Mercer Island, spoke of the 2,527 homeless youth who were helped last year and emphasized that this event was celebrating hope, not just a muchneeded new space.

The event also celebrated Friends of Youth’s partners whose collaboration over the past decade culminated in the opening of the Service Center.

were four faith communities that had provided shelter space over the past two years: St. Peter’s United Methodist Church, Lake Washington United Church, Redmond United Methodist Church and Mercer Island United Methodist Church.

The Youth Services Center shelter program, The Landing, is the only emergency young adult shelter on the Eastside.

If “voter” turnout in the recent student mock election is any indication, the general election should have had an overwhelming number of Washingtonians voting.

The mock election, which took place in late October, saw a recordshattering total of 38,848 students take part. That’s more than double the old record of about 18,000, set in 2008.

“I’m really impressed with the huge increase in the number of students voting in this year’s mock election,” said Secretary of State Sam Reed. “It’s important to promote civic engagement and informed future voters in our state, and the mock election is a great way to do that.”

Three-quarters of the students were in grades 6-12.

The mock election saw

the Democratic presidential ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden preferred over the Republican duo of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, 69 percent to 31 percent.

In the race for governor, about 57 percent of students picked Democrat Jay Inslee, to 43 percent for Republican Rob McKenna.

Students narrowly favored Initiative 1240, as 51 percent to 49 percent in favor of the charter schools measure.

I-502, the measure to legalize marijuana for adults, was barely rejected by students, as nearly 51 percent said no while about 49 percent voted for it.

Students overwhelmingly approved Referendum 74 (legalizing same-sex marriage), with 67 percent voting in favor.

Students in grades 6-12 voted with a longer ballot that featured races for president and governor, as well as I-1240, I-502 and R-74. Students in grades K-5 voted on president, governor and I-1240.

This is the ninth year that the Office of Secretary of State has conducted the mock election.

White Gold

Digging British Columbia’s legendary mother lode.

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.

Soccer | FROM 16 Kamiakin, the No. 2 seed from Districts 5/8.

To earn a spot in the state tournament, Mercer Island beat Bellevue in a shootout on Tuesday, Oct. 30, and Interlake in another bout of penalty kicks on Thursday, Nov. 1. The team then went on to play Nathan Hale on Saturday, Nov. 3, earning a 3-1 win.

Playing at Ingraham High School, against Nathan Hale, the Islanders hit the mark first when Laura Harrison scored, assisted by Kianna Chang in the 20th minute.

Just 10 minutes later, Joelle Antilla scored, assisted by goalie Corey Goelz to lift the Islanders to the 2-0 lead.

After the break at halftime, Harrison scored her second goal of the game, this time assisted by Marissa Hammerstrom in the 60th minute.

Nathan Hale scored its only goal of the game in the 65th minute, when Molly Hazelhurst scored an unassisted goal.

The Islanders hosted Interlake in the KingCo tournament on Nov. 1.

In a very tight battle, Interlake scored first when Emma Bergstrom put the ball past Goelz on a rebound from a save, to

give the Saints a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute. A minute later, on the Islanders’ next possession, Harrison, assisted by Hammerstrom, scored to tie the match 1-1.

Shortly after halftime, Michele Day sprinted the ball downfield and scored, assisted by Hammerstrom in the 49th minute, giving the Islanders the 2-1 lead.

Despite their best efforts, a second Interlake goal was scored in the 65th minute, this time by Karissa Shapard, and the game remained tied at the end of regulation.

After two overtime periods, the game was still tied and went to penalty kicks.

Bergstrom scored on her attempt, but Hammerstrom also made hers tying the PK’s at 1-1. Goelz saved the next two Interlake shots while Chang made her goal, giving Mercer Island a 2-1 edge. Day’s kick went high over the goal, but Goelz saved the shot by Sarah Williams. Mercer Island’s Jamie Mounger needed to score in order to give the Islanders the win, and she made it, lifting the team to the 3-2 final score.

Against Bellevue in the first game of the tournament, the Islanders jumped out to the early lead, when Chang scored in the fifth minute.

Head coach Terry Ryan

In the third quarter, Fife scored with 6:54 in the quarter off a 16-yard pass, and the team’s extra two points were good, cutting the Islanders’ lead in the 28-15 ball game.

Bucklin scored again with 6:21 left in the quarter in a fake play after catching a long pass from Hopkins, who caught a bounced ball from Higgins.

The score was 35-15. With 1:14 left to play in the third, Bucklin again received the ball in the end zone, officially crossing the threshold to the record. The score was 42-15.

Fife wrapped up the evening with a final touchdown with 6:23 left to play in the game, the two-point attempt failed and the score was 42-21.

Head coach Brett Ogata said, following the game, he was happy with the way the team finished out the season, even though they did not

make the playoffs.

“To make the playoffs you have to be good, which we were; you have to have good players, which we did, but you also have to have some luck, which we didn’t always have,” said the coach.

“We looked and in injuries, 20 of the kids we started the year with missed three or more games. It’s a tough deal, but these kids, they never hung their heads — we came out tonight and I’m really proud of these guys,” said Ogata. “The guys could have said forget this, we’re not going to play anymore, but rose to the challenge and that’s the way these guys have been the whole year, battling.

We’re on the short end of the stick as far as the playoffs, but it’s only the third time in 10 years we’ve had a winning season here at Mercer Island, so I’m really proud of them.”

and never again trailed in the game.

Bucklin would go on to score three more times in the game, breaking the single season touchdown and single season reception records. He had nine touchdown receptions this season, breaking the record set by Justin McCullum in 1999. Bucklin also broke the receptions record for a single season, earning 55 this year. In 2005 the previous record of 54 was set by Jeremy Spektor.

He said after the game it felt great to get the record, and that he dedicated the entire season to his mother.

“I feel great,” Bucklin, a senior, said. “My mom — she died of breast cancer at the beginning of the summer, and I just wanted to dedicate my whole season and this game to her.”

In the second quarter, Devlin Conway received the ball and crossed over the goal line to lift the Islanders to a 14-7 lead after the kick went wide. The Islanders kicked an onside ball during the return, beginning on the Fife 31-yard line and raced downfield.

Quarterback Brian Higgins found Kalen Hopkins, who scored with just over four minutes to play in the half.

On the team’s final possession of the first half, Bucklin again hit the mark, the kick

by Alex Emanuels was good and the Islanders led 28-7 at halftime.

At halftime, lead referee Jim Shroeder was honored for his 40 years of officiating.

He and the crew chose to work the game as their final one of the season. Between the four refs working at the game, there was a combined 150 years of football officiat-

ment through life’s end.

The current historic low bond yields are a conundrum. Several ways in which we can work to offset the lower bond returns is through the utilization of higher yielding bond “surrogates,” such as utility stocks or preferred stocks.

There are also options for investing in higher-yielding foreign bonds, particularly those of stronger emerging market economies. Also, conservative higher yielding equities, such as telecommunications or certain energy stocks, can also offer yields that can help to improve forward portfolio returns without incurring significantly increased risk.

Holding higher-yielding equities can also offer some hedge against inflation as companies can raise dividends on stocks, but cannot raise the interest payment on a bond.
