A life brought back ‘thread by thread’ By Mary L. Grady editor@mi-reporter.com

Islander David Warner died more than 40 years ago in Vietnam, one of more than 58,000 Americans who died during the grueling war in the jungles of Southeast Asia that consumed most of the 1960s. He was killed by gunfire on Feb. 17, 1968, on the porch of a house in the middle of Hue City during a dayslong battle called the Tet Offensive, one of the seminal events of war in Vietnam. Warner had been in Vietnam for just eight months when he was killed. He was one month shy of his 22nd birthday. He was survived by his parents and two sisters, Marci

and Sue, then just 7 years old. He had volunteered for duty in Vietnam. He was just the type of young man who was sent off by the hundreds to the jungles of Southeast Asia, never to return. Warner, a Marine, was born on March 22, 1946. He graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1964. He attended Central Washington University for a semester, came home and worked at various jobs, including a stint where his dad worked and at Seaborne’s Marina in Leschi. The Warner family had moved to the Island in the 1950s, where they lived near the high school.

“From what I hear, it was ‘kidhaven,’” Warner’s youngest sister Sue Warner-Bean said. “Dave and his friends had a wonderful time playing in the ravine behind the house along Gallagher Hill Road.” An Eagle Scout, the athletic and fit Warner enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1966. After boot camp he spent about a year in Hawaii, then — as he had hoped — was sent to Vietnam in August 1967. The bad news came to the family home just a few months later. Warner-Bean, then a first-grader, remembers the day well. It was a weekday afternoon. Her father was at work. She remembers the knock and the soldiers at the door. Just hours before, a letter had arrived from her brother. Her mother waited to tell her father the news until after he read the letter when he returned home from work. That evening, Warner-Bean thought

In a special meeting of the Mercer Island School District Board of Directors on Thursday evening, citizens voiced their opinions about the 21st Century Facilities Committee’s recommendations to the district. It is a fact that all three elementary schools are bursting at the seams, with West Mercer and Island Park’s portables even at maximum capacity. Only Lakeridge Elementary could accommodate another portable — a double, which is two classrooms.

SCHOOLS | FROM 1 District CFO Dean Mack reiterated the fact that 650 kids are in portables now, district wide. There is also room for one more portable at Islander Middle School. Liz Leroy, a consultant for the district, who manages the district’s construction projects, showed the board and audience data on several recently built schools, with price per square foot all over the map — ranging from $192 per square foot to $313. She said there are many variables, but right now is a good bidding and bonding climate, given the weak economy. Mack said

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com

he has estimated $298 per square foot for new schools on the Island, taking into account the possibility of new traffic lights and the emergency shelter element desired for each new school. Mack advised the board against cutting corners, because in the long-term it will cost less to build current, solid buildings. The facilities committee visited several new schools in the Puget Sound area, and Leroy recommended the board do the same. Demographics cause even more concern, as younger families with children seem to be occupying many of the homes that turned over in the past year, and apartment dwellers,

She wants to see the district rebuild the three elementary schools on the existing sites. “I’m so concerned for them,” she said. “They are trying to survive and thrive with all these state cuts.” Lupton said the contribution made by the 21st Century Facilities Committee could not be discounted. Had the district paid for the expertise represented on the committee, it would have cost a small fortune in consultants. The board of directors is planning to tour newer schools soon, to see what 21st century facilities are looking like.

Island real estate inventory dwindles By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com

More than 50 percent fewer home sales closed on Mercer Island last month, compared to October 2010, per the latest statistics from the Northwest MLS. With single family and condominiums combined, 14 properties changed hands last month on the Island, compared to 32 a year ago. The number of pending sales — mutually agreed offers that have not closed — was 28, the same as October 2010. Overall median price fell from $722,000 a year ago to $550,000 last month. The good news is inventory is down. There are 124 homes/condos on the market now, compared to 189 a year ago — a drop of 34.39 percent. “It’s been happening since May, and now it’s dropping off even more,” said John Deely, broker at Coldwell Banker Bain in Seattle. “This trend is really indicative of our whole market in the Pacific Northwest.” Deely said seasonal adjustments where inventory drops off at the end of the year is typical, and year end is actually a good time for sellers to put their homes on the market. “They’ll have less competition,” he said. Breaking out single family, closings were down 60

EYE ON MI | EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT

Student website may offer relief for traffic around high school

By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com

It’s no secret that the traffic issues at Mercer Island High School in the morning and afternoon, when the school day ends, is nothing short of a dangerous mess. MIHS senior Charles Hattemer, vice president of the Associated Student Body, is taking on yet another responsibility. Already a web designer, Hattemer is working to develop a website where students can find other students with the same schedule to carpool with. Hattemer said it will be modeled after Zimride, a website that already exists, which accomplishes the same goal mostly for university students — only, Zimride charges a fee.

Hattemer’s concept would be free, but with incentives to motivate students to use the service, such as free parking or coupons for businesses around the Island. Students pay $50 a semester for a parking spot at MIHS. Hattemer said the idea was brainstormed in his leadership class. The traffic problem was one of the issues they talked about w i t h superintendent G a r y Charles P l a n o . Hattemer Hattemer offered to take the project on because he already operates Georgetown Web Design, which he took over from his older brother, Henry, who now practices law in Los Angeles. Hattemer said it’s difficult for students to carpool because finding peers with the same schedule

can be a headache due to after-school activities or early release. “The ultimate goal is to have less traffic around the school,� Hattemer said. “You’d be matched up with someone with a similar schedule, which would make it easier than trying to find someone who has your same schedule.� He said he’s done projects similar to this. His brother started the business while attending Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., so most of Hattemer’s business comes from clients in D.C. “It’s great, really interesting work,� Hattemer said. “We create professional, functional and affordable websites for small businesses, nonprofits and independent professionals.� He said he spent the summer with Henry learning about sales and the clientele. Hattemer has also been in contact with Zimride’s people, who he said are not concerned about his project, and in

He also wants to integrate the carpooling website with Facebook, so students can sign up through their Facebook accounts. Another student, Zack Elliott, is working with him on the programming and applications, perhaps even creating a mobile application. The two have not come up with a name for the website, so if you have any

great ideas, Hattemer said they’re open to suggestions. Hattemer plans to keep running Georgetown Web Design when he goes to college, where he will continue to dabble in technology, but his real passion is film. “My dream route would be first a film editor, then maybe move into directing and producing,� he said. Hattemer said the goal

is to have the carpooling website up by the beginning of the spring semester, which is the beginning of February. “The biggest hurdle is going to get students to buy into it,� he said. “The first time it goes online, it might be hard to generate interest.� For more information on Georgetown Web Design, visit www.georgetownwebdesign.com.

Daybreak Middle School finding more help for band program You may recall that Daybreak Middle School in Battle Ground, Wash., purchased used band uniforms from Mercer Island High School’s marching band when the MIHS band was able to buy new uniforms. The story has spread like wildfire. Daybreak’s band director, George Izzet, called the Reporter on Friday to report that the band has received $1,000 in donations so far, and he has just sent the remaining $700 that he owed to the MIHS band. This all came about when Izzet was shopping for uniforms for the Daybreak band in 2010, soon realizing it was too expensive to buy new ones, since a single complete new uni-

QFC Continues to Focus Charitable Efforts on Bringing Hope to the Table BY Jay Wilson

For the rest of this year, our QFC stores will continue to focus our charitable efforts on Bringing Hope To the Table, our annual drive to raise both food and cash donations for agencies which are working to feed the hungry. As the effects of our country’s economic recession continue to impact long-term unemployment, more and more people are facing poverty and the prospects of not being able to afford proper food, shelter and health care. Thanks to the dedication of our store associates and the generosity of our customers, QFC stores are helping to secure critically needed food supplies and money to support the work of our two Bringing Hope To the Table partners: Food Lifeline in Washington and the Oregon Food Bank in our Portland area stores. Food Lifeline states that 96% of its revenue goes directly to feeding hungry people and Oregon Food Bank says, “More than 94 cents of every dollar donated to OFB goes directly to fighting hunger.”

Last year Food Lifeline delivered more than 24 million meals to hungry people through its network of nearly 300 neighborhood food banks, hot meal programs and shelters. From 2005 to 2010, the number of people served by Food Lifeline grew from 550,000 to 686,000, an increase of 24%. Much of the food donated to local our QFC stores is targeted by Food Lifeline to supply the partner agencies it supports in the same areas those stores serve. The Oregon Food Bank which has a network of 20 regional food banks and 923 partner agencies saw a 12 percent increase in the amount of food it provided from July of 2010 through June of 2011. The Oregon Food Bank distributes food throughout the state and Clark County based on an allocation system that takes each area’s population and poverty statistics into account.

form would cost at least $350. The regional representative at Stanbury Uniforms, where Izzet was shopping, told him that Mercer Island High School — which has the same colors as Daybreak — had old uniforms to sell. Izzet and MIHS band director Parker Bixby got in contact and a deal was struck for Daybreak to purchase the old uniforms for $1,400. Daybreak still owed $700, which Bixby said they could pay off whenever it was possible. The money being donated to Daybreak is now being used to patch “Daybreak Dragons” over Mercer Island on the back of the uniforms. Izzet said half of the uniforms have the new logo on the back, and now they will be able to finish them all in time for the band’s appearance in the Macy’s Holiday Parade in Portland. “I just think it’s so great to see kids out doing something positive,” Izzet said of his young band. He said a $100 donation and a $350 donation have come from Mercer Island, among others.

According to statistics provided by Food Lifeline, 37% of the people it serves are children and 12% are seniors; 9% of its clients are homeless. Many Food Lifeline clients have had to choose between food and paying for heat or utilities, between food and paying for medicine or medical care, or between paying for food and paying for rent or mortgage. For many of us, hunger is something that only happens for short periods between meals. But for many others chronic hunger is a real problem. Food Lifeline points out that “children who are hungry may be less attentive, independent, and curious. Many hungry children have difficulty concentrating; therefore their reading ability and verbal and motor skills suffer.” “Chronic hunger in adults weakens bones and muscles, increases the risk

To the editor

Our thanks T

he wages of war paid by soldiers and their families are evident each day. We only have to look around us. While some have thrived, others have been cut down. Wounded vets live on the streets near where we shop in downtown Seattle. But soldiers attend classes at Bellevue College or sit next to us at the coffee shop. Our holiday table might include a grandfather who fought in Korea, an aunt who tended to the injured during Desert Storm, or perhaps a smart and treasured cousin who cannot sleep at night after two tours in Iraq. Every day is Veterans Day for someone. Children learn about war and world conflict at Island schools — both the triumphs and the tragedies, and the thorny situations that will never be resolved. Inside the front door at Lakeridge Elementary School, students pass by a Purple Heart donated by an Island veteran. The stories and photos published today in honor of Veterans Day this Friday relate both the ripple effect on families of loss and the dedication and professionalism of those who serve today. For the most part, soldiers not only give but witness the very best that can be found in these conflicts. They remember the courage of their fellow soldiers and the victories both large and small. Those that come home have a renewed appreciation for life and the realization that chance was on their side. Each says to him or herself, “Why did I live when others did not?” For Sue Warner-Bean, the loss of her brother when she was just a first-grader, has been with her all her life. She has gone beyond regret and sorrow to resolve and action. She and others like her have worked to honor the fallen by clearing landmines and building schools. It is an endeavor she knows her brother would have cheered. Col. Mark Elfendahl is a career soldier determined to continue to serve his country and those still fighting around the world. Roy Mays, a witness to some of the key events during World War II, was one of three servicemen from a single family. For those we know and love now, and for those who are gone and we cannot forget — we say thank you.

‘Veterans Day reminds us of the pride and the peril of military service.’

TALK

Good work, City Council, for addressing teen drinking We want to extend our compliments to our current mayor and City Council members. On Sept. 19 they were presented with the new Social Host Ordinance. This ordinance would fine parents if minors were found in their home drinking alcohol, and the police were already present administering the criminal law. As you can imagine, this was a very difficult topic. Our government team was exceptionally diligent in addressing questions about the new law. They patiently and thoroughly worked through concerns and community issues. We can all be proud of their efforts. Thank you! Alana Morris and Diane Larson Communities that Care

After a short visit, I offered a brief prayer. It was a sacred moment as we asked God for His help in time of need. Three decades ago, a poem called “Footprints in the Sand” was popular. It celebrated the evidence of God’s presence in our lives during hard times. As I contemplate Hu Riley’s life, I think of another set of footprints in the sand.

Jean Fagerholm, 85, of Mercer Island passed away on Sunday, October 30, 2011. She was born in Seattle, Washington in 1926, the daughter of William and Georgia (Gray) Linnane. Jean attended West Woodland Elementary in Seattle, Sunnydale Elementary in Burien and graduated from Highline High School. She met Donald Fagerholm in 1945, and they were married on September 19, 1946, and together they lived for 62 years on Mercer Island. Jean was the consummate homemaker, tending after her children. Jean was a former president of the Mercer Island Preschool Association, actively involved in her kids’ PTA, and all of their sports events, including the Mercer Island Saddle Club. She also managed to work as a bookkeeper for the Carnation Company. Family was a very important aspect in Jean’s life; she loved the outdoors and could be found backpacking in the Olympics, water and snow skiing and beach combing with her family. She enjoyed visiting with her relatives on Lopez Island. Jean loved her Irish Heritage. She is preceded in death by her parents, brother Michael Linnane, sister Patricia DuBois, and son-in-law, Michael L. Reece. Jean is survived by her loving husband, Don; daughter, Mary Reece, son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Paula Fagerholm. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Will Reece and Taryn Reece; great-grandchildren Emma & Gideon; brother and sister-in-law, Patrick & Rooney Linnane and all her special nieces and nephews.

Sheila Beck Katsman passed away on October 29, 2011. She was born in Vancouver B.C. to Freda and Ralph Beck on June 4, 1928. Sheila spent her youth in Vancouver. Her love for that beautiful city with its mountains, parks, and beaches never faded. She loved all things beautiful - music, art, flowers and fashion. Sheila was educated at the University of California at Berkeley, where she studied art and advertising, graduating in 1950. She worked in that field in San Francisco and Seattle where she became the advertising manager of Ernst Hardware Co. for several years. Sheila married Dr. Alvin Katsman in 1958. They lived on Mercer Island for over 50 years, where they raised their three children. Her interest in art led her to the docent program at the Seattle Art Museum, where she enjoyed leading tours for 25 years. She is survived by her loving husband, Al, two sons, Ralph (Lisa) of Mercer Island, Bruce (Suzanne) of Ellicott City, MD, and a daughter, Leslie, of Seattle. Sheila was immensely proud of her four beautiful granddaughters - Marisa, Danielle, Haley and Faith Katsman. She is also survived by her two brothers Howard Beck (Delores) and Stanley Beck (Barbara) and two nieces in Toronto. She was a loyal and generous wife, mother, grandmother, and also a friend to many. She will be sadly missed by all. Donations to Jewish Family Service or charity of choice.

Man shoots at suspect outside home An off-duty Secret Service agent confronted a man who was videotaping the agent’s daughter through a bathroom window at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6, in the 4300 block of 86th Avenue S.E. The agent identified himself as a police officer in his backyard, and the suspect made a movement indicating he was armed. According to the police report, “the suspect turned and approached him in an aggressive manner with a possible weapon in his hands.” The agent fired a round at the suspect, but does not know if the suspect was hit. A Seattle police K-9 unit tracked the suspect, who fled on foot from the backyard into the street, where the track ended. The suspect likely fled the area in a vehicle. Two witnesses were present, but there is no further suspect information or a description of the vehicle. Mercer Island police are continuing to investigate. sonal information was used to open a fraudulent ‘Bill Me Later’ account in August, and someone used it for $4,000 worth of transactions.

THREADS | FROM 1 that she did not remember her brother’s face. She recalled going from room to room looking for pictures. Years later, Warner-Bean, now an emergency management consultant specializing in aviation, does not remember a lot of outward grieving by the family. “We were fairly stoic,” shesaid. “But we were devastated.” Just a couple of years later, her mother boxed up what she had of David’s things, taped it shut and stored it away. But as her father began to be quite ill with Alzheimer’s disease more than 30 years later, he began asking for his son. Warner-Bean’s own search for her brother did not begin in earnest until 2003. Warner-Bean’s husband Jeff Bean, an attorney and mediator, suggested that they order Dave’s military records and find out more, she said. “I’d always been curious, but it had felt like a taboo topic,” she said. A manila envelope appeared in her mailbox on Memorial Day weekend, 2003, and a journey began. “I still remember reading and re-reading the records and being struck by the details I’d never known; things as simple as Dave’s height, his weight, and the color of his eyes.” She found that her brother was a member of Golf Company, 2nd Battalion,

Through her painstaking research and by happy accident, she has learned a good deal more about her brother through people she has met and sources of information she has discovered. She calls these bits of information “threads.” “As I have chased these threads over the years, I have come to know that my brother was more than just my hero,” she said. She found her brother’s former commanding officer, retired Marine Col. Chuck Meadows, in May 2004. He happens to live on Bainbridge Island, and at the time was the executive director of PeaceTrees Vietnam. Warner-Bean, became involved in PeaceTrees and their efforts to clear Vietnam of land mines, plant trees lost to Agent Orange and establish schools and libraries for children. She found herself traveling to Vietnam to help. She wanted to bring something positive out of her brother’s life and her family’s loss. With the help of others, she established a kindergarten and named it after her brother. After Warner-Bean’s first

visit to Vietnam 2005, her mother re-opened the box of Dave’s mementos and personal effects and found solace in a photo of Dave and a buddy in Vietnam. They had tracked down the friend named Doug Blayney. He wrote to the family. “My mother learned that he was not alone and not afraid. “I know it brought her a lot of peace.” She explains how many are drawn to going beyond their grief when they visit Vietnam to see where a loved one fought and died. People who are on their own mission revisit the scene of their own losses that have haunted them throughout their lives, she explained. But they also come to leave something positive behind. Throughout her journey of the past decade, she marvels at the direction that her life has taken. Her brother is her link and entree to others whom she never would have met, and to establishing a school in his name. “This is not what I had envisioned for my life,” she laughs “It is all because of Dave.” For more go to www. peacetreesvietnam.org.

A career soldier remembers Islander and West Point graduate thinks every day about those lost By Mary L. Grady editor@mi-reporter.com

On Veterans Day, Army Colonel Mark Elfendahl will be speaking at one of his daughter’s schools about service to country. As he did on Veterans Day last year, he will remind them that the freedoms they enjoy are not to be taken for granted. Elfendahl has what one might call a storied military career — a degree at West Point, successful tours of duty at the world’s hot spots over the years, and recent postings at the very center of the United States Army leadership. Elfendahl, a 1985 graduate of Mercer Island High School, grew up, in his words, “as a young idealist surrounded by the ghosts and heroes of those from his own family” who proudly served in the United States military. His father was a major in the Army Air Corps in the years after the attack at Pearl Harbor. He has two uncles, Reed and Byron Johnson, one a Green Beret, who served their country. “I was motivated by others when I decided to serve in 1982,” he said, adding that his parents were thrilled when he attended the storied West Point on a full scholarship. Elfendahl earned a degree in political science from West Point and later graduated with honors in 1999 from the Defense Language Institute in California. He holds a master’s degree in International Relations in 2001 from the Frederick

Dad Left his Beret in France Born and raised in Paris, he witnessed WWII through the eyes of his older brothers who fought in the French Resistance. After the war, this youngest son was sent to America by a mother who believed there was only one place left in the world with a future. Dad’s love of his new country came quick and ran deep. When the Korean War broke out, though not yet a US citizen, he joined the fight. Over the years I learned so much from him, nothing fancy but what could be more valuable than: work hard, be honest, show respect. Now I’ve watched over dad for years as he’s needed help with daily tasks, like food prep, housework, and transportation. Lately, living by himself has got him down and I’ve grown too exhausted to care for my own household’s needs. If an elderly parent depends on you for daily assistance – maybe they’re not independent any more. Please consider Áegis Living. We are the trusted local senior care provider specializing in assisted living and memory care. We offer the finest care, given by the most committed staff.

Schiller University in Germany, where he was an Olmstead Scholar. Elfendahl grew up southeast of Island Crest Park down S.E. 61st Street. He attended Island Park for elementary school, South Mercer Junior High School and Mercer Island High School. He delivered papers in the afternoon for the Seattle Times, cutting through the Stevenson Farm to deliver papers to homes next to Pioneer Park. He remembers sledding down 68th Avenue S.E. during snowy winter days. It was a steady and happy childhood. H e Col. Mark r e g r e t s Elfendahl that his father was too ill to see him graduate from West Point. He came to the Island for a visit as he headed for his first assignment after graduation. His dad died soon afterward. Ever since, he said, “I have been moving like a gypsy caravan.” Indeed, he and his wife, Heike, whom he met in Germany in 1993, have moved a dozen times in their 16-year marriage. He and his wife have two young daughters. They now live in Williamsburg, Virginia. His posts as a soldier and list of military honors is long. He is accomplished and educated. He speaks German fluently and has attended training across all areas from soldiering techniques to international policy. He has been to Europe on assignment or to attend school on three separate occasions. His medals include a Bronze Star, a

Meritorious Service Cluster with three oak leaf clusters, a Amy Commendation Medal, Afghan Campaign Medal, Southwest Asia Service Medal, Ranger Tab, German Parachutist badges, air assault badge and more. He watched the Berlin Wall fall and the people walking across the broken barrier into freedom for the first time. He was part of Desert Storm, commanding reconnaissance missions. His tour in Iraq brought him face-to-face with IEDs and roadside bombs. Elfendahl’s time in Iraq was formative for him, he said. “I was proud to offer those people a shot at a selfdetermined life.” There were losses. He thinks about those who died every day. “Why did I make it back?” he asks himself. “And why they did not?” “The most satisfying thing about it all is the people I have served with,” the soldier said. They are proud and patriotic. “We did our duty, we followed our orders.” Asked what the students will want to know on Wednesday, he ticks off a list: they will want to know about weapons, and if it is hard, and if he was scared on the battlefield. He will tell them that it is a rewarding life, and yes, they need to get up early and follow orders and that fear is sometimes a good thing. When they ask why soldiers have to go to war, well then, that is when it gets serious. But he will say, when we do go to war, “The American soldier does it magnificently.” He seems to be at the ready to return to the battlefield. He can’t rest easy, he said. “I still have 80,000 of my friends in the desert.”

Japan was unloading all the airplanes, the suicide planes, kamikazes, they called them. They had the skies full,� he said. “I was in a quad-4 millimeter battery firing at the suicide planes and on the islands as well.� They shot down nine enemy planes. But at Okinawa, the ship took a hit. A kamikaze left a 40-foot hole directly below Mays’ battery. “I could see him coming right at us. I controlled the firing,� Mays said. “Everybody just dropped as he hit the ship at the water line, and a great big flood of water came up.� The gunners below Mays were completely submerged, but all surfaced unharmed. No one was killed. More than 60 years later, Mays’ family took him to Washington, D.C., for his 85th birthday — to see the Iwo Jima memorial.

MIHS drama department opens with the Bard, Island Sound concerts in December By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com

The new Mercer Island High School drama teacher and theater manager, Daniela Melgar, knew she had some pretty big shoes to fill when she took the job once held by Karen

Campbell, who retired last spring. “It’s been a really friendly community,” Melgar said. “The parents and students have been great, very supportive. Faculty and staff have been very helpful with my entrance here.” Melgar came to MIHS from Eastside Catholic in Sammamish, where she taught English. But her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, as well as her heart, are in theater. Melgar has been performing and teaching in the Seattle area for five years.

She said this is a dream job for her. “In the posting, they were looking for someone with theater experience and a teaching degree,” she said. Originally from San Diego, Melgar received her master’s degree from the California Institute of the Arts. She did some acting in Los Angeles before moving here with her husband, a produce broker. For her first production at MIHS, she chose to do a comedy accessible for all age groups, William Shakespeare’s

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” A complex story with three different stories going on at the same time, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” revolves around lovers who are all in love with the wrong people, a group called “mechanicals,” with thespic ambitions, and fairies who take over the woods at night. “This is a favorite of mine,” Melgar said. “I know it forward and backward. It’s a very magical play. It was my hook into Shakespeare.” Most of her cast members were familiar with Shakespeare. Senior Ford Appleton plays a character called Francis Flute. “I really like the diversity of the characters,” Appleton

said. Senior Anna Partridge, who plays the queen of the fairies, said “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” gives the actors the opportunity to be silly on stage. “I think Shakespeare can be inaccessible; there are so many layers,” Partridge said. “But this play is hilarious.” This is most definitely an ensemble cast, with 20 actors. No one is the lead or big star. To make it fresh, Melgar has set the action in the ’60s, with ’60s music. This is not a musical, but Melgar said there is a great deal of movement, especially to portray non-human entities. Even more fun, the play will be performed in the round, so the audience and actors will be in an inti-

mate setting. Many of the students/ actors in the play have been in the drama program for several years. Senior Brianna Ford, who plays Hermia, is in her fourth year as a MIHS thespian. Ford, who also has vocal talent, is interested in an acting career, as is senior Jessica Kindred, who is looking at Cornish College of the Arts, as well as schools in New York and Boston after high school. Costumes are being designed by costume designer Leslie Spero, one of Melgar’s connections, who has been designing costumes for 25 years. Spero created the elaborate headdress for the queen of the fairies, as well as a whimsical donkey head. She then pieced together the remaining costumes with odds and ends from past productions. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” opens Thursday and will run through Saturday, then again Nov. 17-19 at MIHS, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance, or $15 at the door.

District crown belongs to Islanders

State playoff bound

By Megan Managan mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

The Mercer Island girls swimming team took top honors during Saturday’s SeaKing district finals, winning the title with 336 points. Second-place team Bainbridge earned 273. While the Islanders won overall, the team won just four individual district titles during the meet. Grace Wold took the 100 butterfly race in 55.81, a state qualifying time. Teammate Alex Seidel won the 100 freestyle in 54.55, another state time. Mercer Island’s final title win came

Team to face Meadowdale this Saturday at 7 p.m. By Megan Managan mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

It was a night of firsts. Twenty-three years ago it happened, but then the man now leading the Mercer Island football team was on the field, in uniform. The Mercer Island football program earned their first playoff win since 1988, when head coach Brett Ogata was a player. The Islanders beat Ferndale 21-14 to secure the team’s first ever home playoff win. “Its feels awesome. I’m just really happy for the kids,” said Ogata. “They worked really hard all year, and Ferndale is a good team, hats off to them. They stuck it to us a lot tonight, but our kids just persevered and got the win and made big plays.” Quarterback Jeff Lindquist said it was a dream of the seniors when they came into the program to get to this point, and were thrilled to have

It was a dream going into the program when we were freshman, and now it’s here,” said Lindquist. The evening at Islander Stadium began with the Golden Eagles containing Mercer Island in four downs. Ferndale picked up on their first possession, controlling the ball and driving downfield. Quarterback Jacob Frost punched through the goal line to score the first points of the night with a 7-0 lead with 6:54 on the clock. After starting on their own 20-yard line, Mercer Island moved toward their

own touchdown, with Jeff Lindquist connecting on passes and running the ball. He crossed the goal line with 4:52 on the clock, but the play was called back due to holding on the Islanders. The team came up short on their next tries, giving Ferndale the ball with 4:01 on the clock in the first. The first quarter ended with the Golden Eagles leading the game 7-0. It was a pattern that continued throughout the night with Ferndale running, and Mercer Island passing. The Islanders out-threw Ferndale 202-137 during the game, the Golden Eagles running game kept them in the hunt throughout the game. Ferndale had 212 rushing yards over the Islanders’ 119. Partway through the second, Lindquist passed to wide receiver Steen Swedstedt in the end zone, but again was called back by a penalty. This time illegal procedure moved the play back and the Islanders left the end zone without a touchdown. “As far as the game tonight, they called some holding and stuff that we really haven’t had all season. It is what it is.

We got the win, and I’m excited about that,” said Ogata. After the penalty, senior Brent Tsang found his way through the Ferndale defense to score the Islanders’ first points of the night. With no flags on the play, the Islanders tied the game 7-7 with 7:43 left in the half. Ferndale attempted a 14-yard field goal in the last minute of the half, hoping to have the edge at the break, but the kick was no good. With the ball back in their possession, Lindquist tossed up a 73-yard pass to Nicky Sinclair, pulling the ball down and running into the end zone. The half ended with the Islanders leading 14-7. After halftime, the teams battled through the third quarter. The scoreboard remained the same as the first half until Ferndale scored with 50 seconds left in the quarter to tie the game at 14 points each. In the fourth quarter, Connor Bernal gave the Islanders the lead with a catch off a 35-yard pass from Lindquist with 8:03 left in the match. Mercer Island led 21-14. “I don’t know if there

Mercer Island qualifies for state after district battle By Megan Managan mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

After falling early on in the SeaKing district tournament, Mercer Island pushed their way back up through the consolation bracket to earn a spot in the 3A state tournament. “Our biggest goal of the last couple years has been to make state, so to finally get there, they are so excited,� said head coach Susan McKay. The last time the Islanders made the journey to state was in 2008, when the team finished fourth. The team that the Islanders faced on Saturday afternoon was Lake Washington, in the first round of consolation games after falling to Holy Names last Thursday. “After the loss to Holy Names the team was upset, but I think it ended up being a huge motivator,� said McKay. “They saw that we were play-

ing teams at the highest level, and knowing we were in it gave them confidence they could do it. I kept telling them we were still in it, but it would just be a little harder to get there.� Against the Kangs, the Islanders won 3-1. Mercer Island took games one and two 25-21 and 25-20 in hardfought games. In game three, the opponents swapped the lead throughout the game. Partway through, Lake Washington libero Katie Harding hurt her arm, forcing her to leave the game. After losing the senior on the court, the Kangs took a commanding lead, winning game three 25-21. But Mercer Island wasn’t ready to end the season just yet, taking the final game of the set 25-19. In the next round, the Islanders met Bainbridge just 30 minutes after finishing the

game over Lake Washington. Mercer Island won the first two games, but dropped the third. “I think going into the third game they knew they were just a win away from state and they got too excited. We had to regroup,� said McKay. The team brought their game back in the fourth and fifth games to win, and officially earn a spot at state. In the game to determine seeding held shortly after the Bainbridge game, the Islanders faced Mount Si, the No. 1 team from KingCo which the Islanders had lost the KingCo title to. Mount Si again proved victorious on the court, but Mercer Island earned the No. 4 seed out of District 2. “I think the biggest thing we have to realize is that now that we’re playing a higher

MI girls finish seventh at state By Megan Managan mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

Mercer Island freshman Katia Matora helped lead the Islanders to a seventh-place team finish on Saturday during the 3A girls state cross country meet. Matora finished in sixth place overall, with a time of 18:20. Camas took the team title with 58 points,

while the Islanders had 199. Alida Scalzo finished with a time of 19:56 for a 50th place finish, while Lindsay Benster was 58th in 20:05. Laura Brindley was 72nd overall in 20:19, Linden Elggren was 84th at 20:27, while Mikayla Davis was 105th in 20:53 and Lauren Knebel was 107th with a 20:53 time.

The Islanders finished the season with the run at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco after winning the KingCo title and taking second at SeaKing. By finishing in the top 10, Matora earned a spot in the Border Battle later this year. The race pits the top runners from Washington and Oregon against each other.

was really a momentum change,� said the coach. “I thought, Ferndale, they were tough all night. We tried to play hard, and I think it was a battle. We got one more big play than them to get the win.� Parker Scott on defense helped the Islanders hold onto that lead late in the game, earning seven tackles, while Cameron Ogard had five takes. Both earned interceptions during the game. The team moves forward to play Meadowdale on Saturday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. at Edmonds District Stadium. Meadowdale is 10-0 this season, earning the District 1 No. 1 seed after beating Prairie 33-7 last Friday.

Schafer lived on the Island from infancy, attending L a k e r i d g e Dee Hitch Elementar y, Islander Middle School and Mercer Island High School. She graduated in 1997. Her parents still live on the Island in the same home that they built in 1980. Schafer grew up with wine as a constant on the family dining table. “It was at this table that we most talked about starting a winery,” said Schafer. “We needed to make wines to complement my mom’s amazing cooking.” Having visited 36 countries and worked harvest in Argentina, Schafer feels that she brings a world perspective to her winemaking.
