School options narrowed to five School district set to hire two consultants for public outreach

By Megan Managan

mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

Now that the Mercer Island School District Board of Directors has decided to put five options before the community, the district has hired Triangle Associates and TranspoGroup to help them get through the process.

Triangle Associates is a company that will look at the information that the board wants to share and figure out how best to communicate the information correctly and accurately to the public. This type of project is

something the company does frequently.

“We do this a lot,” said Triangle’s Bob Wheeler, a senior facilitator with the company. “We’re a neutral third party to help get information out to the public.” He added that the company will be very interactive with the district, meeting with team members throughout the process and doing a final report of their findings.

As Superintendent Gary Plano said, Triangle will help the district reach more people and help the community understand not only why a new school is needed but also help people understand the various options.

“We’re well connected to people in the school community, but there are those that we don’t reach,

and they are harder to reach,” said board member Brian Emanuels.

“It sounds like you have the techniques to get to them.”

Wheeler said some of the group’s initial work will be to identify the various groups on the Island to speak with, even to arrange small meetings to get a feel for where the people on Mercer Island are with the issue.

“It’s hard to get people to go to meetings,” said Wheeler. “Smaller settings are something we do a lot of with this type of thing.”

Board member Pat Braman said she’s concerned with making sure that people have the facts and not misinformation about the schools or the options.

“I’m concerned about misinformation, and as a neutral group, are you prepared to say, time out, this is what is correct?” she asked of Wheeler. Wheeler answered by saying because the company has no stake in the outcome, and none of them live on Mercer Island, they are there to provide

The Mercer Island Visual Arts League will host a special wine and cheese reception on Friday, Oct. 5, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the MIVAL Gallery on 78th Avenue S.E. The reception will feature Leslie West, a Mercer Island artist, who will be showing her unique artwork at the gallery through October.

Data on city services and the views of Island residents show the city is performing well in maintaining, sustaining and improving the life of Islanders.

The city’s annual Dashboard Report takes public services data regarding everything from crime, finances, and the reliability of key public services and compares them to similar data from other cities.

City Finance Director Chip Corder takes those results and adds in how residents perceive the delivery of city services by looking at results from the city’s

City | FROM 1 biennial survey.

Corder’s analysis, discussed at the September 24 Council meeting, shows the city earned ‘very good’ performance marks on 20 out of 35 indicators.

Dashboard indicators are organized around the city’s six priorities of government. They are community safety and security; effective/efficient public service delivery and community sustainability; reliable public infrastructure; attractive

neighborhoods and business districts; recreation, cultural, health and education opportunities and public communication and community involvement.

Community safety and security were given ‘very good’ marks on seven out of eight indicators. Half of the 14 effective and efficient public service deliver and sustainability also earned ‘very good’ ratings.

The attractive neighborhood and business district category warranted a ‘very good’ rating for code enforcement, a ‘good’

rating for Town Center appearance and condition with a third indicator on economic vitality scoring given an ‘improving’ rating.

“I gave [the economic vitality] category an improving’ mark because we are just now seeing an improvement in tax receipts,” Corder explained, adding that for the first six months of the year there has been a significant ‘uptick’ in revenues.

“We are still recovering from the effects of the recession,” he said. “But I expect that revenues will be even better at the end of the year.”

Sustainability Task Force Report The Council also reviewed the first report of the city’s 11-member Sustainability Task Force.

The task force was charged “to develop a recommended sustainability policy that will influence the city’s actions and priorities in being a sustainable city.”

The report listed actions to be taken in six areas: waste reduction, energy conservation, water conservation, yard toxins, green buildings and sustainability education, and communications.

The task force made several recommendations that included the hiring of a dedicated staff position that will educate and promote conservation activities in the community. Half of the funding for the new position would come from the city’s part time communication coordinator position, which is unfilled.

The report said the city should develop a six-year sustainability plan and take action to foster a culture of sustainability such as a plastic bag ban.

Councilmember Tana Senn noted that the task force moved quickly and members were anxious to include their ideas.

“We are building on that momentum,” she said.

The six-year plan will be like the city’s TIP or SIP plans, she said.

“The plan lays out both long term [goals] and things we can accomplish right away,” she said.

The City Council also voted to expand television coverage of Council deliberations by showing study sessions. The Council did not approve any additional funds to update or change the existing broadcast system.

News briefs Speed cameras yield 169 tickets in four days on Snoqualmie Pass Drivers beware. Speedenforcement cameras installed last month to monitor speeds through the five-mile work zone on I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass will remain. Drivers traveling above the posted speed limit of 60 mph could face a $137 fine.

Citations have been mailed to 169 vehicle owners whose cars were speeding through the work zone on Interstate 90 at Snoqualmie Pass. The $137 citations will begin arriving in mailboxes soon for drivers caught speeding between Sept. 17 and 21.

The Washington State Department of Transportation recently started using automated speed enforcement in the I-90 work zone to help reduce speeds and improve safety for workers and travelers.

Roadside signs let drivers know a small sport utility vehicle parked near the highway is monitoring speeds in the eastbound and westbound directions.

Reporter wins WNPA honors in annual contest

By Reporter Staff

The Mercer Island Reporter staff won seven awards in the Washington Newspapers Publishers Association 2012 Better Newspaper Contest.

The awards were given at the WNPA’s annual contest last weekend in Yakima.

Entries in the contest were judged by the New York Press Association.

Reporter writers won three awards overall.

Akrish art at show celebrating nudes

By Reporter Staff

Mercer Island artist Esther Akrish is featured in the 11th annual “Unclad” Art Show, Oct. 12-14, at the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center in Stanwood, Wash.

The show features over 150 artworks — all nudes — by artists from across the country.

“It’s the unique theme that keeps artists and visitors coming back each year,” said show producer Gayle Picken.

“We have artists from as far away as New York, Toronto and North Carolina shipping their artwork to our show.”

Two paintings by Akrish were selected for the show.

The “Floyd” is located at 27130 102nd St. N.W., in Stanwood, about an hour north of Seattle. Show hours are Friday, Saturday and

The johnny-come-lately husky, beagle or mix are all subjected to sniffing, rolling in the dirt, a quick chase, some barking to set the boundaries and herding in the manner of “hey, the new guy has to get with the pack,” kinds of stuff. Then the canine buddies race about, leaving plumes of dust, barks or howls, smiles and goodwill.

As with dogs or toddlers, parents are standing by, monitoring play, keeping things fair and safe. But you’ll see lots of compassion, understanding and new acquaintances on any carefree day in the dog park, by both owners (this being the dogs) and the humans they bring to the park with them. Because once you are in the park, “dogs rule.”

Story category for “Heart defects in young athletes rare but deadly.”

Linda Ball, now with the Issaquah-Sammamish Reporter, won second place in the Best Education Story category for “$196 million for new schools.”

Melanie Morgan, creative artist, won three awards for Best Branding Ad, Humor In Advertising and Best Special Section Cover.

The Mercer Island Reporter took third place in the General Excellence contest, the fifth time that the paper has been recognized in the overall category in its circulation division in the past nine years. The publication took first place in 2008 and 2009, and second place in 2004 and 2007.

Mercer Island photographer Walker Stanberry captured some of the dynamics at the dog park at Luther Burbank Park last week.

The dog park at Luther Burbank Park is a dusty, fenced, but actually clean-smelling lakeside mixer spot for dogs and their owners.

As with any popular public venue, there is a set of unwritten rules that apply. Those on the inside, whether on two legs or four, guide the newcomers with voice and hand (paw) signals.

Once admitted inside the wooden fence, introductions begin between dogs and owners, owners and owners, and dogs and dogs.

These rituals are not planned but rather instigated by, well, the dogs.

Ohio town mourns former school leader and ping pong player, Roger McGee

By Mary L. Grady

editor@mi-reporter.com

It was late Monday evening when the Reporter got a call from the daily newspaper in Sidney, Ohio.

Reporter Patricia Ann Speelman called to inquire about a former Sidney resident who had died over the weekend here, some 2,400 miles from where he first made his mark.

Roger C. McGee, 88, died on Saturday. He lived at Covenant Shores.

“Even though it has been more than 16 years or so since he was here, Mr. McGee was a big deal in Sidney,” Speelman said.

“I have saved space on the front page for the news about his passing.”

Sidney is 40 miles north of Dayton, Ohio, along I-75, about 70 miles due east of Muncie, Ind. People whom he worked with in Sidney, a town of 21,000, where he served as schools superintendent from 1964 to 1977, have high praise for their former colleague. The story in the

Sidney Daily News was long and detailed.

“Roger McGee is an icon in the Sidney City School District,” said current Superintendent John Scheu, who was hired by McGee as a teacher in 1972.

In Sidney, McGee worked with community leaders to pass the first permanent improvement levy for the school district. During his tenure, speech therapy and school psychologist programs were implemented, and libraries were constructed and updated.

But McGee knew how to have fun.

“While he was in Sidney, we would have ping pong tournaments for all school employees,” Scheu said.

“The championship would always be played in Roger McGee’s basement. He was always the one to beat.”

His daughter, Rose McGee, said her parents instilled the importance of being involved in the community throughout their lives.

In Ohio, Roger McGee also served as the dean of

Simple steps to alarm. protect yourself Outside your home from crime

By Rob Jira

Mercer Island Police Department

In 2011, the Mercer Island Police Department investigated 59 burglaries that were reported throughout the year. As of the end of July, the MIPD has investigated 48 such incidents.

Not only is the department seeing an increase in burglaries, there has been an increase of daytime and interrupted burglaries, meaning thieves are breaking in when people are more likely to be home.

Here are some tips from the MIPD to keep burglars from targeting your home:

Inside the home • Keep doors and windows locked and secured when at home or away.

• Always use/set the alarm. If your home is unlawfully entered while you are home or away, the police will be notified (but check with your security company on this process first). This will increase the chance that the burglar will leave the residence immediately after hearing the

• Place motion detector lights around doors and windows to illuminate possible burglars during the nighttime hours. Place/ mount these motion detector lights high enough up to where a burglar cannot reach up and disable the light. Always remember, burglars don’t want to be seen.

• Place high-resolution cameras in high spots overlooking doors, windows and driveways.

• Place visible signs at your front door and at the entrance to your driveway that your residence is monitored by a security company or a security camera, as this in an inexpensive way to possibly deter a person looking to break into your house.

• Lock your car and set your car alarms. Don’t leave anything in plain sight that would make you an easy target for a burglar/thief to look into your window and take your belongings.

Don’t be lazy in protecting yourself. Park your vehicle in your garage, if you have one, and still remember to lock and secure your car.

business services at Edison State Community College and as an administrator of the Raeburn E. Barnes Trust Student Loan Program.

He was chairman of the building committee for the Memorial United Methodist Church and president of Sidney Noon Kiwanis. He was a trustee of the Shelby County Group Home for Boys, the Community Action Commission and the Monumental Building.

He co-chaired a capital campaign for the Salvation Army that raised funds to expand its facility.

He and his wife, Esther, moved to Mercer Island in 1996 to be nearer to family. McGee founded a men’s choir at Covenant Shores, acted in melodrama productions there and sang in the choir at Mercer Island Presbyterian Church.

He also played a good deal of ping pong with his grandsons, Rose McGee said.

In addition to his daughter, Rose, of Brisbane, Australia, he is survived by daughter Margaret McGee, of Port Townsend, Wash.; Brian McGee, of Mercer Island, and six grandsons.

His wife, Esther, died in January 2011.

Services have been held.

Personal information protection • Use a mailbox with a locking mechanism to prevent thieves from stealing your mail.

• Place sensitive information (birth certificates, social security information, etc.) in a heavy locking safe hidden somewhere inside your home.

• Do not keep personal information/money/valuables in plain sight.

• Record all serial numbers and descriptions for high-end electronics and merchandise (laptops, cameras, jewelry, etc.). These serial numbers may assist investigators in recovering your stolen items and catching the person(s) responsible for taking them.

• Back up your personal information.

The Mercer Island Police Department has put together a Crime Prevention booklet to help citizens keep themselves safe from burglaries and many other types of crimes. Burglary prevention information can be found on pages 4-8.

This crime prevention booklet can be found online at www.mercergov.org/files/ Crime%20Prevention.pdf.

Lend a ride A

s a college student who came to Seattle many years ago, riding the bus downtown was both an exhilarating and anxiety-producing adventure. It was one thing to find the right bus, but where and when did you pay? And why did everyone else seem to know what they were doing?

The loss of the free ride zone in downtown Seattle probably won’t affect Islanders very much. Most who work downtown have ORCA cards or park in garages with rates often subsidized by employers. For those who have midday appointments, part-time jobs or shopping excursions in mind, it will be different. Daytime parking in downtown is cost-prohibitive even on the street. Busing it makes perfect sense.

One of the things that made downtown Seattle so attractive is that you could get from place to place so easily. One could take a bus to the International District to dash into Uwajimaya, get back on at Jackson Street to head north to Nordstrom, walk to the market for fish, then head to Belltown to meet friends. It was as easy as finding the next bus stop. But now, due to increasing pressure on Metro to make up millions of lost revenue, the free ride within the downtown core is gone.

Of course, the greatest impact will be on the poor and ill who live in downtown Seattle to be near services. It was never very pleasant to share a seat with a person who spent his days and most nights on the street. But the people who will be hurt includes those who are not homeless or mentally ill. They are the working poor or the disabled, both young and old.

There are programs in place to distribute tickets to programs that support the poor. And there are ways for everyone to contribute. An incentive program offers each King County household registering a vehicle to either receive eight Metro free ride tickets or donate the value of those tickets to the Human Services Reduced Fare Bus Ticket Program. What it takes is two extra minutes of reading the information that comes in the envelope with your car registration. There is a simple form to fill out.

It is a small but important way everyone can help.

Free bus tickets to use or contribute are offered when renewing car tabs on your vehicle.

Kudos for Island Crest Way changes I love the restriped Island Crest Way for driving and the occasional bike ride. It is much easier to turn onto Island Crest Way with the center “safety” lane when entering the roadway from cross streets. I also like that the lane weaving has been eliminated as I now drive south along the new pavement. Driving the roadway feels much safer to me. My occasional bike rides on the new shoulders have been fantastic. I can more easily bike commute to the library and high school area with ease.

John Cornelius Versnel, IV

John Cornelius Versnel, IV, son of John and Suzanne, brother of Margaret and Anne, passed away Saturday September 15, 2012. He was 21 and had lived a very good life. John will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.

John attended St. Monica Parish School on Mercer Island from kindergarten through eighth grade and graduated from Seattle Preparatory School. He started playing lacrosse in seventh grade and was a proud member of Prep’s undefeated season in 2008. At Prep, John was active in the theatre program and received the Excellence in Drama award. He loved the Jesuits and everything Ignatius stood for.

His only criteria when choosing a college was that it be in a “city” and it be Jesuit. Loyola University in Chicago turned out to be the perfect place for him.

At Loyola, John quickly developed a large, diverse and close knit group of friends. He was a math major with an economics minor and on the Dean’s list. At the time of his death, John was a Senior conducting research with two of his professors for a paper that will be published next year. He had also just secured an internship with Merrill Lynch working with analysts. Days before his untimely death, John related that he had “never been happier.”

John will be remembered for his smile, larger than life personality and love of practical jokes. His friends describe him as “goofy,” in a very good and loving way. They will miss his roaring laughter and the hugs he gave with all his heart.

John loved, and thoroughly enjoyed, his family, animals (especially his dog Scout), his friends, lacrosse, photography, The Art Institute, Seattle’s weather and life itself.

Weeks before he passed, John took in a foster dog, Bentley, and had planned to adopt him. His family asks that remembrances be sent in John’s name to Paws Chicago. (www.pawschicago.org) John is survived by his maternal grandmother, his parents, two sisters, six aunts, eight uncles, 13 cousins, Kelly and countless friends.

When the South-end station fire station was built in 1962, the population of the Island was less than 13,000 and all of Mercer Island’s firefighters were part-time volunteers.

Times have changed in 50 years. The South-end fire station hasn’t.

The cinder block building is not up to modern earthquake codes or firefighting standards. Experts who’ve analyzed the building conclude it cannot be remodeled at a reasonable cost.

It’s time to build a new station. Interest rates are at historic lows, and the bonds would be paid off in just nine years, saving thousands of dollars for taxpayers.

Miller-Hull, the firm that designed the community center, has done a preliminary design for an efficient structure that will serve the needs of the Mercer Island community for many years

Sept. 26 Arrest: Police took custody of

a 26-year-old Renton man at 5:39 a.m. on a $1,000 warrant for driving with a suspended license. He was booked into the Issaquah Jail.

Fender-bender: A sedan rearended a SUV stopped for traffic at 2:36 p.m. in the 5800 block of Island Crest Way. The 23-year-old driver of the sedan was cited for following too closely. No injuries were reported.

to come. The new station is in the mid-range of the size and cost to comparable fire stations built in the last five years in the Puget Sound region.

A new South-end station will benefit all Island residents. Fire and aid call responses are integrated throughout the entire Island.

If trucks from the Northend station are unavailable because of our mutual aid agreements with other communities, it’s essential that equipment from the South-end station be available to respond to a Northend call.

Emergency aid calls have been growing steadily — when minutes can make the difference between life and death. We can’t risk a situation like the one that

occurred in 2007, when the fire trucks got stuck in the South-end station temporarily after a small earthquake.

It’s been many years since residents have been asked to pass a bond or levy to pay for a city capital construction project.

Because of a booming economy and prudent financial management, the city was able to build the Community and Event Center and the main fire station without any tax increase or bond measure.

But the city isn’t able to do that now, and must come to the voters for support. The City Council is unanimous in recognizing the need to build a new South-end fire station now.

A small portion — $415,000 — of the $5.2 mil-

were stolen from a North-end residence in the 4000 block of 96th Avenue S.E. sometime between 1:20 and 3:30 p.m. The burglar made an unforced entry into the home.

A residence in the 9100 block of S.E. 53rd Place was burglarized sometime between 1 and 5 p.m., in a neighborhood northeast of Island Park Elementary School. Burglar(s) entered through the unsecured front door of the lower residence and stole a loaded gun, 42-inch TV, laptop, wake board, Playstation 3, TV projector, AV receiver, ski boots, a passport, checkbook and numerous credit cards. Three

attempts to use one credit card were made in Renton.

Fatality: An 83-year-old Mercer Island man had a cardiac arrest at 8:10 p.m. while driving in the 8400 block of S.E. 83rd Street, on the South end. His vehicle struck a parked vehicle and veered across the road into a hedge.

The passenger, 81, exited the vehicle and flagged down a passing driver for help.

Bystanders started CPR on the driver until the medics arrived. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Arrest: A routine license check led police to stop and arrest a 22-year-old woman at

Island Forum: Yes on Prop. 1

lion proposition is for the replacement of a 17-year-old fire rescue truck. This truck carries specialized equipment and is designed to negotiate the Island’s steep driveways that can’t be used by the larger fire trucks.

The city does have a “sinking fund” for replacement fire vehicles to which funds have been allocated regularly. But, like so many of our personal savings accounts, it hasn’t grown in recent years as quickly as we would have liked, and the balance is inadequate to purchase a new rescue vehicle. The old truck is scheduled for replacement in 2013. The City Council voted to include its replacement as an important part of this public safety measure.

Fire Chief Chris Tubbs and the firefighters union see this new fire station and fire rescue truck replacement as being essential to ensuring their ability to help keep the Island safe.

This levy is about a fire house and a fire truck. It is a one-time capital expenditure that’s responsible and necessary. Vote yes for Proposition No. 1.

Phone testing by dummies is serious stuff

Kathy Barnes, a senior director of the engineering quality assurance and device technology teams at T-Mobile, with Mr. Hats, a robot that technicians use to test call clarity by piping in noise to a small, sealed room.

A robot named Mr. Hats listens as noise is piped in from every angle.

Meanwhile, Tappy, another robo-tester, mashes buttons and commands for 24 hours straight. At the same time, a model of a head is scanned in different positions in a room adorned with bright blue and yellow foamed cones.

This is the scene inside T-Mobile’s Factoria Device Lab, the place where all phones go for testing before they hit the market.

They are tested for everything from call clarity to water resistance, to resilience when dropped by the customer.

The company gave a rare glimpse into how it checks the quality of devices as

Having come a long way from its first innovation, the Sidekick, T-Mobile plans to offer unlimited 4G smartphone data plans, and complete a $4 billion investment into its network following a failed merger deal between the Bellevuebased company and AT&T. “We like to consider ourselves the ‘Un-carrier,’” said Brad Duea, senior vicepresident of product management. “Where the other guys are actually going to limited buckets and forcing families to share, we are going the other way with unlimited 4G data. No throttles, no overages, but unlimited 4G data.”

T-Mobile tests Devices at T-Mobile go through a litany of tests before they can come to market. The company demonstrated some of these methods.

Tappy: These robots feature arms that constantly perform various functions

on the phone (texting, phone calls, launching apps, etc.). These machines put phones through a 24-hour stress test to make sure the devices can handle high usage without the software crashing.

Mr. Hats: This talkative robot is on the phone all over the place. Technicians pipe in dialogue on repeat, while simulating a variety of noises, such as wind from an open car window. The calls come from a sound-sealed room, and technicians on the other line test the phones for call clarity.

Drop tests: T-Mobile has a number of machines to simulate the effect of a phone flying out of the owner’s pocket. Phones are tossed about 125 times by a machine that relates to a three-foot drop, to make sure they will not break.

Signal strength: Phones are placed in the hands of a model robot in a variety of different positions to see how people can best hold devices to avoid blocking signal.

Already attempting to rattle the cage of other carriers with its image, T-Mobile has a plan for the one piece of technology it cannot boast, the iPhone.

Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive The more than 17,000 member of the Knights of Columbus in Washington state and their volunteer partners will conduct the second annual Tootsie Roll Drive in communities across the state to raise funds to help people with disabilities.

The drive will be held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 5-7. Knights of Columbus members will be at various retail locations throughout the community soliciting donations. Eighty percent of what is raised in the community is put toward the community.

Nationally, this program has been in existence since 1970, with 47 states participating this year. In Washington, the program is operated by the Knights under “Columbus Charities,” a 501(c)(3) corporation.

Last year, over $60,000 was raised through 35 participating councils across the state. This resulted in 25 different local organizations benefitting from their efforts, and more than $10,000 was donated to the Columbus Charities Special Olympics Summer and Winter Games program.

Knights of Columbus volunteers will easily be visible because of the bright yellow aprons they will be wearing.

County launches Smart911 service Voluntary, user-entered safety profiles can provide critical information to 911 centers and emergency responders when help is needed.

In an emergency, seconds count. Making sure 911 call-takers and emergency responders have all the information they need can mean the difference between life and death. To assist in this critical task, King County is launching “Smart911,” a supplemental data service that allows residents to create a personal safety profile in a secure database. That information can then be used to assist 911 call-takers and responders in the field.

“With this new tool, 911 call-takers can locate callers and send help to the right place more efficiently,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “It’s especially effective for users of cell phones, whose locations cannot be pinpointed as they can with landlines.”

Smart911 is free to every

resident of King County, and registration is voluntary. To create a safety profile, users go to a secure website, www.Smart911. com. Then, they enter their phone numbers, as well as address, medical, disability or other information that could be useful to emergency personnel. When a call comes in to a 911 center from a Smart911-registered phone, the additional data is displayed at the 911 call center. The information can also be accessed by medics, firefighters and police officers responding to the emergency.

Today, about 70 percent of 911 calls are made from wireless phones. However, wireless phones only provide the general location of a caller, not their exact address. With Smart911, people can put their home, school and work addresses into the safety profile associated with their wireless phone. These addresses will assist 911 call-takers in locating callers when lives are at stake.

“Smart911 is a simple, yet effective tool to help our officers and other emergency service providers get the right people and right equipment to the right place,” said King County Sheriff Steve Strachan. “The Sheriff ’s Office responds to 330,000 calls a year, and Smart911 can help us more effectively serve the public.”

Councilmember Kathy Lambert, who chairs the Law, Justice, Health and Human Services Committee, said, “I applaud our E-911 Program Office for pursuing new and more individualized ways to help residents in need.

Smart911 is a life-saving resource, and a practical way for all of us to build a safer community.”

Smart911 is particularly useful for people with disabilities. For example, if someone who is deaf or hard of hearing is registered, the 9-1-1 call-taker will be able to see that information

State Patrol says Washington accident rates lower Washington drivers are crashing their vehicles in lower numbers than at any time in the past decade.

Fewer than 99,000 collisions occurred in 2011, down from 2010 and down significantly from the most recent peak in 2005.

In 2005 more than 123,000 collisions killed and injured thousands, and snarled traffic for everyone. The turnaround is good news for drivers, and applauded by state highway safety officials.

“Drivers get the lion’s share of credit for this improvement,” said Darrin Grondel, director of the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. “Seat belts and air bags can reduce fatali-

ties, but a reduction in collisions means there has been a marked improvement in driver behavior.”

Along with drivers, officials credit the coordinated efforts of state and local agencies brought together through our state’s Target Zero program, a collective effort of traffic safety experts focused on finding out what causes collisions and how to prevent them.

“Highway safety continues to be at the core of our efforts,” said Washington Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond, noting how highway safety features such as rumble strips and cable guardrail continue to prevent collisions, reduce injuries and save lives.

“We are encouraged by the numbers, but believe we can do even better. It’s going to take a continued commitment from all of us — highway planners, drivers, plus our partners in law enforcement and driver education,” she said.

The 2011 numbers are considered preliminary until Dec. 31, but officials don’t expect them to change significantly. All categories of collisions are down, across the board. · Injury collisions were down by about 20 percent, from the peak year of 2005. · DUI-related collisions are down about 21 percent. · Fatal collisions are down by about 30 percent from the peak year of 2005.

State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste believes the three most important choices are slowing down, paying attention to the road and driving

sober.

“We don’t have to accept collisions as an inevitable fact of life,” Batiste said.

So go ahead, drivers — pat yourselves on the back.

Just don’t do it while you’re driving.

Seattle ranks 154th in ‘Best Drivers Report’ The Allstate Insurance Company recently released its eighth annual “Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report.” The report, based on Allstate claims data, ranks America’s 200 largest cities in terms of car collision frequency to identify which cities have the safest drivers.

In the 2012 report, Seattle ranks as one of the least safe driving cities, landing at number 154 on the list.

According to the report, the average driver in Seattle will experience an auto collision every 7.9 years.

“We don’t want drivers in Seattle to be discouraged by their ranking. Instead, we want the report to challenge drivers in Seattle to make positive changes to their driving habits that will in turn make the city a safer place to live, work and raise families,” said Shauna McBride, Allstate’s regional spokesperson.

This year’s top honor of “America’s Safest Driving City” is Sioux Falls, S.D., the fifth year that the city has held the top spot.

According to the report, the average driver in Sioux Falls will experience an auto collision every 13.8 years.

“Today people who are deaf must contact 9-1-1 through video relay service, which takes a long time,” said Laura Gramer, co-chair of the Seattle Commission for People with Disabilities.

“Smart911 will allow people who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate directly with 9-1-1, saving valuable time in an emergency.”

King County is the first jurisdiction in Washington State to implement Smart911. All 9-1-1 centers across the county will be operational by the end of the year. In addition, Smart911 is a national database, with many other communities across the United States already participating.

If a King County resident has registered their wireless phone with Smart911, and has to call 9-1-1 in another Smart911 participating jurisdiction, their information will still be displayed.

o many women, all with different stories, but bound with a common thread. Breast cancer. Two very scary words to anyone on the receiving end of the statement, “It’s cancer.”

Seated next to her at the table was her neighbor, Molly, who was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer after a normal mammogram. “You think you get a mammogram and you’re good to go,” Molly said. Not so.

Others at the table told of the aftermath of some treatments that caused lymphedema, swelling of the lymph glands that can be painful and delay further treatment or reconstruction. Patti of Tacoma sought the care of a naturopath to help her through One in eight women will get breast cancer, so look around you — at your treatment.

Brigitte, from Everett, was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer nine years ago. She was told she had six months to live. “I never once thought cancer,” she said. She got a second opinion, different treatment, and she’s still here today, although she is living with advanced bone cancer now. She looks good. The loving support of her husband has sustained her, she said.

Shaw acknowledged that this has been a difficult year for the Komen organization. But she reminded the women that Komen is the largest private funder of mammograms in the state.

Next, Oosterdam Captain, Arjen Van der Loo himself, welcomed the crowd.

Guests of his ship have raised $3 million for Komen over the past five years by doing a 5K walk around the deck, he said. With that, a Vegas-worthy show began, filled with song, dance and fabulous costumes by entertainers who performed on their day off. We disembarked into the sunshine, feeling stronger, lighter.

“We believe this partnership with Gene Juarez is a fantastic way to spread the word about the importance of getting an annual mammogram,” said Komen Puget Sound Executive Director Cheryl Shaw. “The five-year survival rate for breast cancer when caught early is 99 percent, compared to 23 percent when it isn’t.”

Women who schedule a mammogram in a Gene Juarez Salon and Spa will also enjoy a relaxing mini hand treatment or foot soak, a cup of tea, a special gift and a chance to win a $100 Gene Juarez gift card.

Mammograms are available from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To schedule your appointment, call (888) 233-6121.

Islanders survive close game against Interlake

By Megan Managan

mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

Megan Managan/Staff Photo

Mercer Island wide receiver David Emanuels is wrapped up by the Interlake defense during the Islanders’ home win over the Saints on Friday, Sept. 28.

The Mercer Island football team survived a close game against Interlake on Friday night, winning 29-22.

“I don’t think there is one individual,” said head coach Brett Ogata of standouts on Friday night. “But as a team, when we needed to rally at the end of the game, the defense did a great job of rallying and making plays for us. That’s what the team is about. We got beat up tonight, and a lot of guys got hurt. Interlake’s a tough team and they played us tough.

But we got the win.”

The Islanders had a con-

trol of the game early on, scoring three unanswered touchdowns against the Saints. Risley Lesko started the evening with 10:15 to go in the first quarter, scoring on a 1-yard run for a 7-0 start. With 4:30 left in the first, Zack Bucklin hit the mark on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Brian Higgins.

The two-point conversion made the game 15-0. The third touchdown of the night was from Matt Orehek, off a 14-yard pass from Higgins.

With just 1:16 on the clock, Interlake scored its first points of the night when Kamana Adriano made a 49-yard run. Mercer Island

was up 22-7 at halftime.

After the break, Mercer Island’s Matt Orehek scored on an 8-yard run with 9:01 to give the Islanders a 29-7 lead. Interlake surged, as Adriano scored on a 19-yard pass at the end of the third quarter on a run into the end zone, making it a 29-15 game to end the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Interlake’s quarterback Trevor Lyon scored on a run into the corner with 8:31 left on the clock, putting the Saints within striking distance of the Islanders. The score was 29-22.

Mercer Island beats Newport

By Megan Managan

mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

The Mercer Island boys water polo team continued its surge through league matches, beating Newport on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 10-4.

The Islanders, who finished second overall in a tournament the weekend prior in Oregon, returned to league games against Newport at the Newport Hill Swim/Tennis Club.

The Islanders led 2-0 at the end of the first quarter and added four points

for the 6-1 lead at halftime. Three points in the third quarter to Newport’s one goal, followed by a 2-1 fourth quarter in favor of the Knights, ended the game.

Goalie Matt LeProwse had 10 blocks during the game; Sebastian Aron had two goals, an assist and two steals; and Sam Peterson had three goals and two steals. Connor Gullstad added a goal and four steals for the Islanders, with Chris Merrit posting two goals. Quentin Guyer added two goals and two

steals for the team, while Trevor Gullstad had an assist and a steal. Topher LeCrampe had an assist, as did Jack Larkin and David Rudokas. Rudokas also added a steal to the stats list, as did Ford Whitman, Anthony Pedireira and Ian Caldwell.

The Islanders played defending state champion Bellevue on Monday evening, after Reporter deadline. The team will host Ingraham on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at the Mercer Island Country Club in a 7:30 p.m. game.

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER | www.mi-reporter.com

Football | FROM 14 After Mercer Island was unable to score on its next possession, Interlake took control with 1:44 left on the clock. The Saints made a long throw down field, hitting the 20-yard mark, but an ineligible receiver penalty on the Saints’ side moved the ball back to the 38-yard line. Interlake’s Lyon threw three times, but each was called incomplete, and was sacked on the fourth down, ending the Saints’ drive and chance to win the game.

“The whole year, we’ve

worked on pass defense and hitting it off on the end,” said Ogata. “We had some younger guys step up because of all the injuries.

It’s a good win tonight for us, and we’ll come back next week.”

The Islanders had a total of 389 yards, to Interlake’s 364. The Islanders had 157 yards rushing and 232 passing, but lost 111 yards on 12 penalties.

The Islanders will travel to Juanita next Friday, Oct. 5, in the first of two consecutive away games.

Mercer Island head coach Brett Ogata said the close game against

Interlake will be good for the team with two road games, preparing them for the tough KingCo opponents to come.

“I think it’s good that we got a close one that was a win. The next two are going to be away, and we will know how to win a tough one like this. That’s an important piece for us,” said the coach.

Juanita is 2-3 so far this season, losing 49-0 to Bellevue last Friday night.

The following week the team will head to Liberty, before returning home on Oct. 19 for homecoming against Mount Si.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.

TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan.

The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Actual ClearChoice Patient

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their field. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualified specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab.

Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now!

SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.

“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.”

- Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient

Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is. Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve ...

Our risk free consultation will show you how.
