How to divvy up $1 billion for schools Lawmakers must first clarify just what is ‘basic education’ in our state

By Jerry Cornfield The Everett Herald

One of the state’s most coveted entitlements is at the center of a billion-dollar battle in Olympia.

It is basic education, and the fight, surprisingly, is not on how much more money to spend on it.

Democratic and Republican lawmakers and Gov. Jay Inslee agree it should be at least $1 billion.

They are divided on where those dollars should go to boost achievement of 1 million students and satisfy the state Supreme Court, which

ruled last year that the state was failing to pay the full tab of the basic education program that it had promised to those enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade.

That tab is as large as it is because laws passed in 2009 and 2010 expanded the program of basic education and required expensive enhancements such as increasing hours of instruction and providing full-day kindergarten in every school.

What exactly is a basic education that Washington taxpayers must cover?

It is teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. And it is testing students to see how well they have learned, and compiling reports to compare achievements of students statewide.

But it is much more than that.

In 2013, basic education means paying for all the books, buses and bodies: teachers, librarians, principals and custodians. It also means paying for computers and electricity, providing instruction for students with disabilities and those in detention centers, as well as offering career guidance to those desiring to attend college or seeking a job.

Lawmakers can define and redefine basic education the way they want, when they want — and they have. Supreme Court justices acknowledged this power in their 2012 decision.

“The program of basic education is not etched in constitutional stone,” Justice Debra Stephens wrote for the majority. “The Legislature has an obligation to review the basic education program as the needs of students and the demands of society evolve.”

Justices concluded that the state needs to pay for the basic education it promises and was not upholding its financial side of its basic ed bargain with school districts.

Deputy Mayor and longtime City Councilmember Dan Grausz has said he will run again for his seat on the Mercer Island City Council.

Grausz, who has been on the Council since 1999, said he knows what Islanders want. In a statement, he said that if reelected, he promises to protect Islanders in the fight on I-90 tolling, work with the education community to find the right answer for school funding needs, and find a new home for Youth Theatre Northwest on Mercer Island.

“I will do my utmost to maintain Mercer Island as the best place to live in the state of Washington,” he said.

Bearing both the Israeli flag and the American flag, the students of Northwest Yeshiva High School marched three miles from their mid-Island school down Island Crest Way to the Town Center. This year, the Walk For Israel was to celebrate the 65th anniversary of Israel’s statehood.

Last week was “Israel Week” at Northwest Yeshiva, and in addition to the walk, the school held a candle lighting and completed a service project — making blankets to send to disadvantaged youth at the Sanhedria Children’s Home in Israel.

News briefs Island ‘medication take-back day’ is Saturday, April 27 The City of Mercer Island, along with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, will be hosting a medicine take-back day on Saturday, April 27, at City Hall. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Mercer Island residents can bring unwanted and expired medications to be safely disposed of at the anonymous event.

As part of a national event to help clean out medicine cabinets of unwanted and expired medicine, officials will be accepting prescribed narcotics, prescription medicine, over-the-counter medicine, as well as medication samples, pet medicine and other items.

To see the full list of what will and won’t be accepted at the event, visit the city’s website.

State says phone books not needed Last week, state regulators ended a decades-old requirement that local telephone

companies deliver printed White Pages directories each year to all of their Washington customers.

The change is expected to remove more than 300 tons of unwanted paper directories from waste and recycling bins annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 4,000 tons and saving local governments hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in wasteprocessing costs, according to a press release from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC).

Under the new rule, the commission will require companies to make directories available electronically and provide paper directories only to those customers who specifically request them.

The UTC’s decision doesn’t prohibit companies from printing paper directories altogether, noting a recent federal court decision acknowledging the companies’ First Amendment rights to do so. However, it directed any telephone company that chooses to publish paper directories to establish procedures by which customers can “opt out” of receiving

them.

“The change is timely,” said UTC Chairman Dave Danner. “More and more, people go online for the kind of information the White Pages provide. Our action today eliminates tons of unwanted paper.”

The commission has jurisdiction over White Pages telephone directories because listings are provided as part of traditional telephone service. The UTC does not have authority over the business directories printed as yellow pages or paid advertising listings.

Island native plant sale, celebration set for May 11 Mercerdale Park will be the site of an outdoor Native Plant Sale and Celebration on Saturday, May 11.

State jobless rate drops to 7.3 percent, lowest since December 2008 After three months at 7.5 percent, Washington’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to an estimated 7.3 percent in March, according to Washington’s Employment Security Department.

That is the lowest unemployment rate since December 2008.

Industries with the most estimated job gains in March were education and health services, up 1,800; manufacturing, up 900; retail, up 500; construction, up 400; and wholesale trade, up 200.

Industries showing the most job losses last month included government, down 4,600 jobs. In March, an estimated 254,000 people (seasonally adjusted) in Washington were unemployed and looking for work.

That includes 136,524 who claimed unemployment benefits last month.

Also in March, 3,161 unemployed workers ran out of unemployment benefits, bringing the total to 135,236, since extended benefits were activated in July 2008.

Web giant ‘Go Daddy’ planning expansion to Eastside location Company to choose between Kirkland and Bellevue, wants to tap into high tech talent here

By Raechel Dawson Kirkland Reporter

The world’s largest provider of web hosting and domain names, Go Daddy, has hopes of expanding their company to the Northwest. But first executives need to pick a central location: Kirkland or Bellevue.

While the company has several Kirkland connec-

tions — CEO Blake Irving was a former Kirkland resident, International Senior Vice President James Carroll was a former neighbor of Councilwoman Amy Walen — it is not a done deal. With a handful of Go Daddy employees working at its new temporary location at Carillon Point, the company, which serves more than 11 million customers, still has some negotiating to do.

Carroll described the Eastside as a “hotbed for talent. This is really where people want to live, and it’s where people will live and raise families.”

Part of those negotiations occurred at the Woodmark

Hotel last week, when Go Daddy executives met with Kirkland city officials.

While company leaders couldn’t disclose how many new employees the company is seeking to hire, Carroll said the presence of big tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and eBay, assures him of the Internet and web talent around the area.

The permanent expansion, wherever executives may choose, is expected to open in June, according to a Go Daddy press release.

Boston live

To the editor

t was with an odd fascination that many of us watched the events unfolding in Boston last weekend. We watched the capture of the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings in real time. Was it creepy, voyeuristic? Maybe. Yet, it was not much different than most TV police shows fare — except this time it was really life or death.

With four dead and dozens maimed and severely injured, we had seen enough to be angry even from 3,000 miles away — angry enough perhaps to see a little more blood shed, that of the presumed bombers.

It was gratifying to see the technology that we pay billions for — such as the images from the infrared camera borne by a helicopter high above the scene, which was able to ‘see’ the suspect under a boat cover in a backyard.

Earlier, we had seen photos of the suspects made possible by image enhancing software. There were maps, records and tactical discussions that allowed the public to participate vicariously in the identification of the two suspects.

Many sought to be part of the story by being the first to report any movement or rumor. Texts and Twitter reported every step. At the behest of police, reporters lay on the sidewalk as gunshots rang out, glad to put themselves out there to tell the story. Others who knew the two brothers inserted themselves in the drama. Terrorist experts weighed in.

Of course, there was the huge tragedy in Texas. A bit guilty, we figured maybe we should be thinking more about them. Perhaps we relied on the fact that help and relief — if not media attention — was on its way.

It was moving to see the people of Watertown cheer their police when the ordeal was over. They were more than grateful to the public safety officers who worked for hours to protect them while relentlessly pursuing the remaining suspect and any possibility of more violence.

In the end the police work, both high tech and low tech, was stunning. But it was a sharp-eyed homeowner who set the end in motion. He saw something amiss in his backyard and called 911.

It doesn’t seem right that the “We Take Junk” and the “Mercer Apartments” trucks should continue to have free advertising while parked next to Mercerdale Park. The parking spaces they are taking up are used by many of our older community members to park and walk on a flat surface.

The Mercer Apartment truck has not moved all week.

Please ask them to move and leave the parking spaces to our community to use.

THE RECORD

Mercer Island rEporter | www.mi-reporter.com

Doors busted in burglaries, East Mercer homes targeted In a rash of break-ins that began on Friday, April 12, and continued over the weekend, six homes were burglarized during the daytime and in the evening. Police have identified a few suspects.

“It appears that we likely have two groups that are actively operating on the Island,” said Mercer Island Police Detective Pete Erickson. “We’ve identified some suspects; we have made at least one arrest.

We have recovered some property, and the investigation is continuing.”

The first burglary occurred at a residence in a neighborhood near the Stroum Jewish Community Center, where burglars entered through a sliding glass door after breaking a window to attempt entry in the 9900 block of S.E. 40th Street. They were likely interrupted when a neighbor came home, according the police report. Only $25 was stolen out of a piggy bank, but the house was ransacked, sometime between 8:30 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. on Friday, April 12.

On Sunday, April 14, burglars broke into a home

in the 4200 block of East Mercer Way through the front door, after smashing a stained glass panel window between 8:38 and 9 p.m. The house alarm went off when the front door was opened and probably caused the suspects to leave, according to the police report. A paper card was found near the front door and was taken into evidence. The homeowners, being out of town, could not confirm whether or not any items were stolen.

The front door and doorframe of a home in the 4900 block of East Mercer Way were destroyed on Monday, April 15, during a forced entry before noon.

While the victim was away, she received a phone app notification that her front door was opened at 11:07 a.m. and was closed at 11:20 a.m. Numerous items were stolen, including a Kindle Fire, Passport portable hard drive, flip video camera, pair of Uggs, Macbook laptop, makeup bag, jewelry and an iPhone.

The iPhone was tracked

by GPS to an apartment building in Issaquah.

Later that afternoon, a

Anita Joyce Husvick Curry September 2, 1925 – April 6, 2013 Anita Curry died peacefully in her sleep at Covenant Shores on Mercer Island on April 6, 2013.

She was born Anita Joyce Husvick in Ballard,WA, to Arthur and Molly Husvick, and was the middle of three sisters.

She wanted to be an artist from an early age, and worked for a time at Frederick and Nelson department store in their window display department. After high school, she moved to California where she also worked as an artist. She later went to Chicago to attend the Art Institute of Chicago, and it was there that she met her husband, Dave Curry, who was also attending school there. They were married for 37 years before he passed away in 1984.

Anita and Dave lived for a time in California before settling in the Seattle area, and in 1955 they bought and later built a house on Mercer Island and raised four children. Anita enjoyed the fine arts and was involved in MIVAL, and had a figure workshop through the M.I. Parks and Recreation Department for many years. She also enjoyed swimming at Mary Wayte pool, traveling, investing in the stock market, and reading the newspaper. She continued to do the crossword puzzle with her close friend nearly every day until the last. Anita always wanted to remain living on Mercer Island, and in 2011 she moved to Covenant Shores due to her health, where she lived very comfortably and had a beautiful view of the lake. Anita never lost her sense of humor.

Family was always important to her. She leaves behind two sons, two daughters, three grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and a sister.

March 15 Accident: A Volvo driven by

home in the 6400 block of East Mercer Way, in a neighborhood east of Pioneer Park, was entered through an unlocked dining room window sometime between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Burglars stole $11,213 in electronics and jewelry, including a Macbook Air laptop and diamond tennis bracelet. A fingerprint was lifted from the window screen that had been removed.

Off-Island residents who came to check on their Mercer Island home on Tuesday, April 16, in the 4700 block of East Mercer Way, found that it had been burglarized. The front double doors were forced open and dresser drawers were ransacked.

Jewelry and women’s purses were stolen, having been carried out in pillowcases removed from the master bedroom pillows.

That same day, the French doors of a North end home in the 8000 block of S.E. 36th Street were kicked in and destroyed sometime between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. When the homeowner returned, she found that the floor by the back door was covered in shattered glass. $20,450 in jewelry and electronics were stolen, including a Macbook laptop.

Police are continuing to investigate.

Later, at 6:45 p.m., police responded to a report of the same woman shouting profanities while sitting in her vehicle in the parking lot in the 7700 block of S.E. 27th Street. Her pants were down and her radio was blaring. Police admonished the woman for the profanities and loud music.

The world quickly learned of the horror at the Boston Marathon moments after the first blast happened. Twin explosions near the finish line rocked Boston, killing three people and injuring hundreds during one of the city’s largest events. Four runners from Mercer Island were at the event — all finished before the bombs went off, some just seconds before the explosions.

Peter Noone finished the race in 3 hours, 33:15 minutes, followed by Robert

Cremin at 3:55.46, well before the explosions took place. Lisa Spencer finished the marathon in 4:09.11, while Jeff Poppe finished in 4:09.28. Pictures of the marathon finish line, taken as the bombs went off, show the racing clock at 4:09.43.

Noone said Tuesday afternoon, after traveling back from the East Coast, he was luckily nowhere near the blasts, but was trying to find family in the post-race chaos, which quickly turned into a different scene.

“I had finished about an hour before and was a few blocks away in The

Letters | FROM 5 YTN is 30 Youth Theatre Northwest reaches a significant milestone this year: its 30th anniversary. For three decades, YTN has enriched the lives of tens of thousands of children and provided family entertainment to an audience of approximately 150,000. This astounding legacy would not have been possible without the generous support of many individuals and organizations that believe in our mission and programming. A true leader in our family of supporters is the Mercer Island Community Fund.

To kick off our anniversary season, our first

production will be a unique outdoor staging of the Broadway hit musical “Godspell,” to be performed at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. We want to share our heartfelt gratitude to the Mercer Island Community Fund for supporting our production of “Godspell” and creating opportunities for our young people to learn, grow and create through the magic of live theater.

Recently, a student shared her reflections about her time at YTN: “Theater has shaped me into the person I am today. It’s made me more confident, open, creative and just generally happy. As stressful as mid-

Commons (big park nearby) waiting to meet my sister,” he said. “She and her son watched the race from Heartbreak Hill and were heading to the finish line on the T (Boston’s train) to meet me. She could not get on a train because they were full, so she directed me to meet her at the park instead. They finally got on a train heading to the park and then it was evacuated right around the finish line. It was just a very chaotic scene in Boston. With ambulances, fire trucks and police cars everywhere with their sirens going. The cell phone service was either overloaded or shut down in parts, so connecting with people was difficult.”

Prior to the explosions,

Noone said it was a great day and a great atmosphere at the race.

“Before this tragic event struck, it was a great day,” he said. “The weather was perfect. The crowd was big and they were very vocal and rooting the runners on every step of the way. I had a Notre Dame shirt on (which is not unusual for me), and I must have heard over a hundred chants of ‘Go Irish,’ which was very inspiring, as I really slowed down over the last 10 miles.”

Mercer Island runners Rhonda Glass, Roger Larson, Chelese Longwith and Timothy Steege were all listed on the Boston Marathon site as registered for the event, but did not participate in the event.

From the middle school band to the farmers market, Island Youth Ballet to Summer Celebration and many more, the Mercer Island Community Fund creates opportunities for our community to come together, enhance our daily lives, celebrate the richness

of our community and invest in the futures of our young people.

On behalf of our families and, most importantly, our aspiring young artists, thank you, Mercer Island Community Fund. We applaud your efforts and hard work and recognize the community you build every year through your vital support.

IRS warns about charity scams

By Reporter Staff

It’s sad but true. Following major disasters and tragedies, scam artists impersonate charities to steal money or get private information from well-intentioned taxpayers. Fraudulent schemes involve solicitations by phone, social media, email or in-person.

Scam artists use a variety of tactics. Some operate bogus charities that contact people by telephone to solicit money or financial information. Others use emails to steer people to bogus websites to solicit funds, allegedly for the benefit of tragedy victims.

The IRS offers the following tips to help taxpayers who wish to donate to victims of the recent tragedies at the Boston Marathon and a Texas fertilizer plant: • Donate to qualified charities. Use the “Exempt Organizations Select Check” tool at IRS.gov to find quali-

fied charities. Find legitimate charities on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Web site at fema.gov.

• Be wary of charities with similar names. Some phony charities use names that are similar to familiar or nationally known organizations.

• Do not give out personal financial information.

Do not give your Social Security number, credit card and bank account numbers and passwords to anyone who solicits a contribution from you.

• Do not give or send cash. For security and tax record purposes, contribute by check or credit card to provide documentation.

• Report suspected fraud.

Taxpayers suspecting tax or charity-related fraud should visit IRS.gov and perform a search using the keywords “Report Phishing.”

Education | FROM 1 Education redefined Washington’s obligations regarding education are enshrined in the constitution and etched into law.

The constitution says the state has a “paramount duty … to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders.” In 1977, amid legal wrangling on whether the state was living up to that edict, the Legislature approved the Basic Education Act to become one of the first states to sketch out a minimal amount of classroom instruction and services for students, then assume responsibility for paying for it all.

In that law, basic education had a loose definition of instruction to be conducted in a 180-day school year. It set broad goals of teaching students to “distinguish, interpret and make use of words, numbers and other symbols … organize words and other

symbols into acceptable verbal and nonverbal forms of expression … to use various muscles necessary for coordinating physical and mental functions.”

It also laid out a means of picking up the tab of special education students and bus transportation from local school districts.

In 1993, lawmakers updated and redefined the law, inserting specific goals of instruction to include reading with comprehension, writing with skill, and communicating effectively and responsibly. It also called for teaching the “core concepts and principles of mathematics; social, physical and life sciences; civics and history; geography; arts; and health and fitness.”

And it still included special education and buses, as well as a payment per student for materials, supplies and other day-to-day operational costs.

State laws passed in 2009 and 2010 revised the defini-

tion of basic education again by adding new pieces and expanding existing ones.

They also inserted new formulas for how to distribute dollars to the state’s 295 school districts.

What resulted from enactment of House Bill 2261 in 2009 and House Bill 2776 in 2010 set the stage for the court fight on funding and this year’s legislative debate on where to invest a billion new dollars.

The situation today Today, basic education covers several different programs with a combined cost of $12.7 billion dollars in the current two-year budget, which ends June 30.

These include special education, bilingual education, the Learning Assistance Program that assists underachieving students in all grades, instruction for students in juvenile detention centers and state institutions,

and the highly capable program, which aids those performing at the top academic levels.

Basic education still covers the separate and growing expenses of bus transportation and of materials, supplies and operational costs. The state pays a different amount of money to each school district for buses and supplies. Those sums are based on the number of students and a complicated formula written into the recent laws.

Today, the state does not cover the whole bill, which forces districts to divert local levy dollars from classroom instruction to make up the difference.

Those laws in 2009 and 2010 also required the state to do a lot more in certain areas of basic education by the 2017-18 school year.

Major changes:

• Increasing the minimum number of instructional hours for seventh through 12th grades from 1,000 hours to 1,080 hours. It will remain at 1,000 hours for first through sixth grades.

• Increasing the minimum number of credits for high school graduation from 20 to 24.

• Boosting support of career and technical education and skill centers.

• Providing full-day kindergarten in schools statewide.

• Reducing class sizes in kindergarten through third grade.

• Paying the entire bill for student transportation.

• Increasing funds for maintenance, supplies and operation.

• Increasing salaries for administrative and classified employees in line with a formula written into the 2010 legislation.

The price tag Lawmakers knew the price tag for these enhancements of basic education would be in the billions of dollars. But until the McCleary family sued and won, state leaders had shown little compunction to face the financial challenge.

This year, they are.

With the release of budget proposals from the Washington state Legislature, much is made of the fact that these proposals include significant additional funding for K-12 education. This additional funding has come in response to the state Supreme Court’s decision in the McCleary case that Washington state has failed to amply fund basic education for every child in the state, as required by the state constitution. As a result of the court’s decision, there is general bipartisan agreement that more education funding is legally mandated. Education advocates across the state are celebrating these developments, and it is easy to believe that our schools will soon be adequately funded.

The realities, however, are not so clear, and not necessarily a boon for the Mercer Island School District, which relies on a combination of state, federal and local dollars. Though no one can be certain how the final budget will be negotiated, it is very likely that the Mercer Island School District will see at best a slight increase in funding

for the 2013-14 school year, and it is quite possible that combined funding (state plus local) will actually decrease during the next biennium.

How can this be possible?

There are several factors at play, but the most significant issue is that increased state funding may come at the cost of reduced local levy capacity (i.e. lowering the amount of funding that Mercer Island voters can authorize). Currently, the Senate budget contemplates a 1 percent reduction in the local levy lid each year from 2015 through 2018. This equates to approximately $330,000 per year in local funding that would be lost.

In addition, the Senate budget proposes reducing the levy base used to calculate local levy authority, which would translate to an additional $435,000 less in local funding for the 2013-14 school year.

These two specific provisions highlight a fundamental tension that will continue to play out going forward: What and how much should be funded by the state versus local school districts. One of the principles underlying McCleary is that local funding currently constitutes a dispro-

House and Senate and the proposal put forth by the governor each earmark at least $1 billion for the state's unpaid portion of basic education.

All three plans designate the majority of new money for buses and supplies because it will free up local levy funds for instruction.

There are significant variations after that.

For example, the Senate puts $240 million into learning assistance programs and nothing into reducing the number of students in kindergarten through thirdgrade classes. The House, on the other hand, puts $225 million into class-size reduction and $22.8 million into remediation programs.

Inslee’s approach is similar — $128 million for smaller classes, and $28 million for LAP. Inslee and leaders of the two chambers will work to settle this and other differences before the scheduled end of the session on April 28.

The Everett Herald is a sister paper of the Mercer Island Reporter. portionately high percentage of total school funding.

Consequently, to the extent that the state eventually comes into compliance with its constitutional duty, there will likely be a parallel movement to reform the local levy system, including reducing levy capacity for all school districts and eliminating discrepancies in the levy lid percentage as between districts.

Because Mercer Island’s current levy lid percentage is higher than average, our reduction in levy capacity could be greater than most, and the net impact on our combined school funding (state plus local) remains uncertain.

How should we respond?

I encourage those of you who believe excellent schools are essential to the quality of life on this Island to contact our legislators and advocate for a budget that adequately funds basic education without adversely impacting our local schools.

In addition, we are fortunate to live in a community with an active schools foundation. Please support the Mercer Island Schools Foundation in its efforts to ensure educational excellence regardless of the outcome in Olympia.

Another consideration is whether or not you are hoping to receive merit money. I will often have students apply to more schools than usual if I am uncertain which school will be the most generous in their financial package.

This has proven to be a wise decision for many of my students who are finding themselves receiving significant money from multiple schools, allowing them to weigh this financial consideration into their final decision.

Lastly, a student can apply to fewer schools if he or she feels assured of acceptance to one of their safety schools, which they would be equally happy to attend. In many ways, this can be an optimum situation, as it allows for a more relaxed application process and a win-win all around.

A dozen Mercer Island residents were part of Team Armadillo at Walk MS on April 14 in Seattle. Walk MS is an annual major fundraiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis MS Society. The walkers are friends and supporters of Rebecca Pursley, an Islander who lives with MS. Pursley, 60, is also the captain of Team Armadillo and recruited walkers for the team from Jazzercise classes held at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center. The team earned second place in fundraising for the Seattle event by raising over $16,000 this year.

Team Armadillo was formed after Pursley’s diagnosis in 1994.

“The onset of my MS was sudden and dramatic,” she

said. “I left my fourth-fifth grade classroom one day and did not return for two months. My students kept in touch with me, however, and as I later discovered, were quite busy during my absence.”

Without her knowledge, the class formed a team and collected over $500 to support the MS Walk. They created Team Armadillo to honor her fascination with and devotion to armadillos.

When she arrived at her first MS Walk, Pursley was surprised to see 27 children in armadillo costumes waiting for her. They took turns pushing her wheel chair and carrying banners the entire route.

In the years since, Team Armadillo has raised over $100,000 for life-changing programs and research.

Thanks to the therapies supported by NMSS-funded research, Pursley said she has been able to get out of her wheelchair and walk.

Pursley also credits

Jazzercise with helping her regain her strength and mobility.

Sammamish came on strong in the early minutes of the game, up 2-1 at the end of the first quarter.

But Mercer Island’s fivegoal scoring spree in the second quarter gave the Islanders a 6-2 lead going into halftime.

After the break, Sammamish scored twice in the third and once in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough to slow the Islanders, which scored three in the third and two in the fourth to end the game.

Hayden Reisman scored four goals in the game, with two assists and three ground balls. Steen Swedstedt had two goals

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com PAID ADVERTISMENT

Who is ISLANDER FC and what is the FUTURE of the Club?

Dear Mercer Island Community, Over the past few weeks, I have been bombarded with literally hundreds of emails and phone calls regarding the future of Islander FC. My team thought it would be a great idea to address the community with an open window into the vision of Islander FC, how it started, where it’s been and where it is headed, long term. I appreciate this opportunity.

First and foremost, I want to thank each and every person who has helped the vision of Islander FC become a successful reality here on Mercer Island. As a parent and professional who has/ is raising two children on our Island, I know that parents who choose to make Mercer Island their home have a constant thread together: the well being of our children is paramount and at the forefront of our decisions. From the moment the Islander FC vision became a reality, my goal was to provide a healthy, self esteem building environment for kids to grow, stretch themselves physically and mentally, and to have the opportunity to learn the game of soccer from world class professional players. The core of this club is world class coaching while playing soccer with your friends on the Island.

THE BEGINNING: In 2010, I had the opportunity to meet Christopher Sheridan and Stephen Potter. Both were employed by Challenger Sports, the British Soccer Camp group. Not knowing a thing about soccer, I did recognize professional coaching and professional structure.

Sitting at the middle school field watching the soccer program, I realized they had a professional coaching model, connected with the kids, and loved their job. I asked these two young men to join me in creating the first of what is now our third year of summer camps. It was the same year I met Michael Seamon, a Seattle Sounder. He was interested in giving back as a professional player and jumped in. We quickly partnered with Becky Shaddle at the Boys and Girls Club to create the 1st Indoor Winter Soccer Program here on the Island, later adding summer camps with Becky’s help. After two successful years of summer camps and training clinics, the idea of Islander FC began its journey to a clear vision.

What started last spring as a little club with three (3) teams, exploded into a Fall 2012 program with nine (9) teams. We have grown from three (3) teams last Spring to eleven (11) teams this Spring. Huge immediate demand/growth. It’s now 1.5 years later. We are entering our second Fall Season. We’ve had success winning some games, winning a few tournaments, a Division 1 ranking, and more. Last summer we placed a young U16 boy in a proper soccer academy in Italy. After a year’s incredible adventure, he has pledged his time to the kids in our club over the summer. We will see him after June for our summer camps training. During our future seasons we will be entertaining GUEST coaching appearances to infuse enthusiasm for the sport of soccer to our players. Don’t be surprised if you see Stuart, Gareth, Stephen or Michael on the pitch sometime soon.

ISLANDER FC ESSENTIALS: With the support of those who helped build Islander FC, I have learned a great deal about how to run, and how to not run a club.

We know what we’ve done exceptionally well, and we know what is vital to build the foundation for the future and years to come.

These are points we know are essential to our club: • Parent communication and transparency is paramount.

• Creating a sound administrative team with skills to provide a seamless system is not an option but a mandatory component necessary for long term success.

• World class coaching is essential to the true growth of our players at any level of registration. Learning from a wider lens offers opportunities.

• Mercer Island children want to play with their friends and their parents want to stay on the Island.

• Mercer Island youth want to represent Mercer Island and the spirit of their community.

• Kids want to learn in a fun, self esteem building environment from coaches that they connect to, respect. Kids want to fit in and grow through positive coaching leadership.

• Parents need open communication to voice their concerns, discuss their ideas, and most importantly, a feeling that they have been heard.

WHY DO FAMILIES JOIN ISLANDER FC: I’ve learned that each family has personal reasons for joining a club or program. Each family has goals and expectations based upon their individual preferences. Islander FC has been set up to provide options that will allow children to participate at the recreational level or the competitive premier level. We want to assure all youth players a place that is comfortable for how they want to participate. For the boy or girl who wants to just “play” soccer, there is a program. For a youth athlete that wants to push him or herself to be their personal best, there is a Premier team opportunity. To the kids that want a competitive

program and yet have not made a decision to play year round because of other sports or other interests, we have created Select team opportunity. Every player on Mercer Island who wants to learn soccer from a world class academy style program, train with licensed professional coaches, and play with friends on the Island, regardless of their commitment level, Islander FC is the place.

ISLAND FC PROGRAMS: REC/PRO TEAMS U6-U17: 8 weeks/3 times a year DEVELOPMENTAL TEAMS U8-U10: Spring & Fall SELECT TEAMS U11-U14: Spring & Fall PREMIER TEAMS U11-U14: Year Round EVERYONE PLAYS: Our policy at Islander FC is clear. Everyone plays! We have four (4) programs to choose from. Our door is open to every level of player. I will not nor will anyone on our team turn away any child that wants to participate in our programs. We are pleased to announce that this is our first season that we will begin to form teams after our trial that will include: Developmental, Select, and Premier. Each player will be placed on a team based upon the Director of Coaches criteria and the level of commitment from each parent.

OUR ISLANDER FC LEADERSHIP TEAM CONSISTS OF: I will be handing over the coaching and managing of the club the first week of May. I have the utmost confidence in my selection of our new DOC and the leadership team that is in place now. Our leadership team consists of the following positions: - Director of Coaching - Director of Team Managers - US Club Soccer/PSPL League Representatives - Equipment Coordinator - Club Bookkeeper - Administrative Assistant BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Our 2013 - 2015 Board of Directors can be found on our website.

Each term on the board will be for 2 years.

WHY THE “credentialed” WORLD CLASS COACHING: I am familiar with the emotions children experience when they have uncertainty or fear associated with the multitude of challenges faced in club sports. I had been a softball coach and instructor with over 10 years of experience myself. I am aware that self esteem can be strengthened or weakened when youth engage in club sports, especially when kids reach a certain age.

For me personally, the “psychology” of the child participating in our club is equally as important as the experience of playing/ winning. When I witness the smiles and laughter of the players, regardless of the “win”, I am satisfied that the coaches are connecting with the players. I understand that passion and hard work is needed to successfully achieve a balanced and thriving organization. This may be my greatest strength that I bring to the team at Islander FC. The well being of the kids in this club are at the forefront of my planning and decisions.

I’m always asked: Why do you search for the licensed, professional, experienced coaches from around the world instead of coaches locally? The answer is simple: I’ve worked with professional athletes. I believe PROFESSIONALS who have reached the highest level of their game have traits that are necessary to inspire, motivate and create energy within others.

They can be inspirational leaders, especially to children/young youth. In my opinion, leadership is a “non negotiable” factor when teaching youth. It’s not an easy road to reach levels of success in sports. The competition is fierce. If you’ve made it, you know what it takes to get there. It’s not easy to remain on the top of the heap. One year verses three years verses a decade, is clearly different. Training your mind and body to engage and succeed in pressure situations year after year is an art and a personal commitment. I find professional coaches/players to be individuals who are determined, focused, and have the “never give up” attitude. Young boys and girls learn many attributes from their coaches. These individuals are mentors. Positive coaching can infuse excitement, passion and can feed the fuel to LOVE a sport. Structured sports programs can be hugely beneficial to kids socially, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Many professional athletes who move into coaching positions are capable of providing an incredible experience on so many levels to youth players. They can inspire their team players simply by their presence. They can be role models you respect, look up to, and secretly or openly aspire to be like.

Credentials are important to me. I feel if you have devoted your time and energy to achieving levels of excellence in coaching by becoming licensed; it says something about your commitment to the work you provide. When dealing with youth, I feel the

best coaches are those who can identify vulnerability, physical, mental and emotional traits, strengths and weaknesses and will automatically or instinctively build on them. And finally, they want to win! They want their players and their teams to be at their best because it is a reflection of their capability. It’s not all about winning. We all know from our own experience, training is a process. Each child and team needs to develop at their own pace. Credentials are important to me and will always remain a core requirement at Islander FC. LOYALTY GIFT - THANK YOU ISLANDER FC FAMILIES: Please see our website for more details.

SIBLING DISCOUNTS - PAYMENT PLANS: To support each and every family who wants to enjoy the programs Islander FC offers, we have payment plans and sibling discounts. Club fees can be expensive, especially for families with more than one child. Please access more information on our website: islanderfc.com.

THANK YOU! I would like to personally thank my friends for believing in the vision of Islander FC. Each person had work commitments and yet, came over to our Island to share their passion, expertise, and love of the game: Garath Vaughn from Wales, Stuart Thornton from England, Michael Seamon an MLS player, and Christopher Sheridan from England. Coach Sheridan literally quit his coaching position at a primary school in Manchester England, in the Fall of 2012 to support our unbelievable growth. Coach Sheridan is a foundation piece of our club! Our first year at Islander would not have been possible without each of their dedication and love of the game.

And finally, I want to thank Mr. Jimmy Ball, and Colin Rigby.

When I requested a meeting with Jimmy Ball to discuss my Islander FC vision, a woman with absolutely no experience with soccer or creating a professional club, he openly gave his wisdom and time to this project. For those of you who are not aware of Mr. Ball’s background, he is a professional footballer from England with an unprecedented family history. Jimmy played in the Premier league himself, while his father Alan Ball (World Cup Winner) is an English Football Legend. To have Mr. Ball’s assistance in creating the opportunity for our kids on the Island was a dream come true. With over 3500+ kids in his own club, he still makes time to drive down to Tully’s to help us. His advice is priceless. His personal dedication to youth soccer is extraordinary.

From the moment we sat down to discuss the plans for Islander FC, we became a strong force. Although he was committed to his full time work, from the beginning, Colin was determined to help Islander FC’s vision come to life. He stepped in to coach three teams at a critical time for the club. Never wanting to miss weekend games, you could always count on Colin’s smile, attentive manner, and positive energy. Colin’s pride is felt in the Islander FC video. His passion for soccer is contagious. We learned a lot together, endured more than we thought we could at times, and gave when we didn’t know how we could give any more. Islander FC gives him a huge SINCERE thank you!

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU Each and every participant from youth players, parents, advisors, athletes, and friends, have shared in growing the success of the Islander FC vision by joining in with their expertise, passion, smile and essence. When people ask me “How did you do it Jennifer?” I simply say “I didn’t.” “WE did it!” We as a team, as a community, created Islander FC. This is the ENERGY that created this incredibly successful club. Thank you to our Mercer Island Community!
