A storm, a football game and a queen Friday is the 50th anniversary of the Columbus Day Storm By Mary L. Grady
editor@mi-reporter.com
What does a brawling windstorm, a football game and a shy high school student have in common? On Columbus Day, Oct. 12, 1962, a storm with winds up to 100 mph wreaked havoc on the Puget Sound region in what the National Weather Service later designated as Washington’s worst weather disaster of the 20th century. More than 50 people were killed between Vancouver, B.C., and San Francisco, nine in Washington.

As the huge storm hit the Seattle area, the Mercer Island football team was suited up at Islander Stadium, ready to take the field to meet archrival Bellevue for the Homecoming game. At the same time, the dangerous storm that began as Typhoon Freda in the South Pacific Ocean was bearing down on Seattle and the Eastside. Hours earlier, the storm had moved onto land in California where high winds halted the sixth game of the World Series at Candlestick Park. Power lines and giant redwood trees were reported to have been toppled from the force of the winds. According to weather service reports, winds at over 100 mph then moved into Oregon. The storm struck Portland, tearing off roofs, toppling trees and destroy-
ing buildings with “the fury of nearly a Category 3 hurricane.” As it blew north, wind gusts were measured up to 92 miles per hour in Vancouver, Wash., and over 100 miles per hour out on the Washington coast. In Longview, the city’s civic center collapsed. A HistoryLink.org essay describes what followed: the center of the storm hit Seattle at around 7 p.m. The power went out at Sea-Tac Airport. On Highway 99, billboards lay broken and trees lay in the road. Ferry runs were cancelled. At the Seattle World’s Fair, fair officials closed the Coliseum at 7:30 p.m., worried that the glass windows might blow out. Communities east of Lake Washington, including Mercer Island, were soon plunged into darkness. In Issaquah, the roof was torn off of the grandstand at the city’s Memorial Stadium. At Islander Stadium, the game had begun. But just two plays after

41st District Voters Forum is tonight
Over the next five City Council meetings, culminating in a final vote on Dec. 3, the Mercer Island City Council will deliberate how to fashion a $25 million balanced city budget for the next two years. Under Washington state law and standard city practice, the city manager is to deliver a balanced budget to the City Council every two years. As in recent years, the real work will be in finding ways to cut expenses in light of declining tax and fee revenues. Preliminary figures indicate that without those cuts, the city will be short by more than $1 million each year. The 2012-2013 budget message, prepared by City Finance Director Chip Corder, states that “much of

Island home prices rebound in September Mix of condos and single family homes shifts By Reporter Staff
Data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service’s monthly report indicates that the number of highend Island homes and condos listed for sale has slowed. At the same time, prices for homes that sold here in September rose dramatically. The number of Island homes and condos whose sales were pending at the end of September totaled 41, up by more than a third over the same month a year ago. The number of home sales completed was 32 last month, with 27 sales finalized in September of 2011. The median price of all homes and condos sold last month jumped nearly 36 percent over a year ago, to $985,000, a jump likely influenced by a change in the mix of condos sold versus single family homes that sold during the month. Across the Eastside, more than 844 homes and condos sold in September, up from 703 a year ago. In all of King County last month, 2,300 homes and condos sold, up 300 from a year ago. The

median price for all Eastside homes that sold bumped up 3.4 percent over homes and condos sold a year ago. The median closed sales price in September for Mercer Island was the highest of all 29 map areas in King County. Presently, there are 117 single family and condominium homes on the market in Mercer Island, — up very slightly from 110 available on the Island in August, but less than the 135 homes offered for sale in September a year ago. Of the single family homes listed for sale, there are 10 homes listed at $5 million and above, with a handful of very high-end homes either sold or apparently taken off the market, including the multimillion lakeside mansion on Boulevard Place. There are also two dozen or so homes offered for sale between $2 million and $5 million; almost three dozen listed between $1 and $2 million; and more than 30 under $1 million. There are no single family Island homes listed for sale for less than $500,000. There are 11 condos on the market offered at prices ranging from $152,000 to $925,000.

the focus will be on revenue and expenditure trends and on how the projected 20122014 budget deficits were bridged.” In other words, the city’s financial staff had to look at ways to keep service levels high by finding ways to make cuts and shift funds to make up for deficits. “The proposed budget relies on a mix of nonservice reduction, small reductions in selected discretionary services, continued constrains on staff salary increases as well as (implementing) the optional one percent property tax increase.” Across the board, tax and other sources of city revenue have declined. Those sources include sales tax revenues. The council’s goal is to see where changes can be made to keep costs down while keeping service standards high. Service reductions will be vetted by weighing six fac-
tors: • Slow spending where possible on general fund services supported by taxes. • Avoid services reductions that come from fee revenue or grants already in place. • Apply the adopted priorities of government to prioritize cuts or spending. • Determine whether a service is mandatory, essential or discretionary. • Look at the biennial citizen survey to get further input on how a particular service is viewed. • Demonstrate savings before adding any further need for tax revenue increases. Key items that will influence the budget outcome are employees’ wages and benefits that now represent one of the largest pieces of the city budget. To that end, city staff and the Council had come up with alternatives to control employee benefit costs as well as limiting staff.

and landed between a tree and a retaining wall. Traffic was blocked on Gallagher Hill for an estimated 40 minutes. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
The city plans to make or add the equivalent of four new FTE employees. Some of those are already parttime or contract employees. At the same time, the analysis calls for reducing the number of FTE by the equivalent of more than 10 employees. Changes are also proposed for Youth and Family Services, the level of services at some parks and public spaces, and public programs such as the fireworks and
art programs similar to the last budget cycle. New revenue could come from implementing the city’s discretionary ability to implement a 1 percent tax on residents and/or increasing rates charged for utilities such as water, sewer, stormwater and emergency medical services (EMS). At present, the combined utility rates paid by Islanders are significantly less than the average paid for by all King County jurisdictions.

be labeled as “marriage” is equally unacceptable as it reduces the term to meaninglessness. Finally, everyone knows that the first use of the term “marriage” goes back to Genesis, where it unquestionably refers to an enduring relationship between one man and one woman. What is the evidence that God’s mind on this matter has changed? Carl Dodrill
I am truly pleased to personally know a number of gay citizens rather well, and I definitely appreciate every one of them. Nevertheless, is anyone really taking a truly rational approach toward the issue of gay marriage? For example, gay marriage advocates say that it is the “right” of any two consenting adults to wed, but have people really thought of all that this implies?

Board needs to sort out options, not voters For years our state legislators have abdicated their leadership role and
tossed issues to the voters in referendum: “Here, you decide.” And now it’s happening right here, with our School Board. We elected them as our representatives to guide, to set policy, to plan, to be fiduciary overseers, and to figure it out. So now they are hiring a communication contractor with our tax dollars to help explain to us five — yes, five! — ideas about which they can’t make up their alleged minds. They want us to sort it out and settle it for them. Perhaps putting to us an either A or B choice would be responsible, but to put to we amateur schoolfutures-planners five complicated options that even your reporters cannot clearly explain is an irresponsible abdication.

Island Forum | Council needs to promote transit
EYE ON MI | shades required
By W. Clark Powell
Special to the Reporter
Recently, an editorial in the Mercer Island Reporter suggested that public transit is a solution to Island traffic problems. I agree with the Reporter on this point, but I don’t see the possibility of public transit as a solution unless our civil servants and elected officials start promoting public transit on the Island. The City Council acknowledges public transit, but has done little to promote it on Mercer Island. While the city is spending heavily on a re-design of Island Crest Way, it is ignoring public transportation as a way to make Island Crest Way safer. The Council should not overlook ways to get Islanders out of their cars into safe, professionally driven public buses.
As far as I know, only one Council member has ever taken the bus to work, so ideas for public transit enhancement may be limited. Given the limited time available to the Council persons, it might make the most sense for them to create a citizen committee that provides them with recommendations for public transit improvement. A neighborhood that selfishly tries to get better bus service for itself is much more effective for the county as a whole than one that doesn’t pay attention at all. M e t r o and Sound Transit do provide bus W. Clark Powell service, but the philosophy of these organizations is biased against Mercer Island. They have determined that bus ridership is mainly determined by the affordability of parking at the destination. They think that Mercer Island as
“While the Council is spending heavily on ICW, it ignores public transportation.”

an affluent community can afford parking and thus is not a good candidate for bus service. (I have been told this directly by Metro.) As a result, we have token bus service as demonstrated by the empty, local shuttle buses one can see shunting around the Island. These bus routes with empty buses are provided by Metro, but they are not adapted to Island commuters, and so they remain empty. Contrary to Metro thinking, Island commuters do have the potential to use public transit, but they demand convenience and speed while cost is not a major determinate. Sound Transit is even less effective in providing public transit for Mercer Island.
The Eastlink Light Rail, for which the Island is losing the I-90 express lanes, will change nothing for any Islander who wants to use public transit. Any service that it will provide is already offered by the 550 bus route, so if you’re not using it now, don’t expect anything to change in the future. It doesn’t have to be this way, but until our elected officials pay attention and require that Metro and Sound Transit provide usable service for Mercer Island, we will have to settle for “back of the bus” service from those organizations. W. Clark Powell is a longtime resident and former candidate for City Council.

Community briefs BC parent ed program holding open house The Bellevue College Parent Education program is holding two open house events on Mercer Island on Oct. 16 and 23. Children don’t come with operating manuals — how, then, are parents to learn the essential skills and concepts they need to raise their children successfully? For parents of children between 2 and 3 years of age, Mercer Island Toddlers is holding an open house on Oct. 16 and 23 at Redeemer Lutheran Church on Island Crest Way. It is a program of Bellevue College’s Parent Education Department. Come meet parents, teachers and instructors, and learn about the format and curriculum of one of the college’s parent-cooperative preschools. BC’s preschools provide active learning experiences for parents and children in the development of creativity, literacy, math, science, physical ability and social skills. The classes each focus on one of several distinct age levels, from infancy through 5 years of age, with curriculum designed specifically for each stage of development. Parents learn in the preschool classroom, right along with their children, as well as in small group discussions on discipline, nutrition, safety, family relationships, devel-
opment milestones and the physical, emotional and social needs of children. For further information on parent education or to register for BC’s programs, parents may call (425) 564-2365, email cubba.reese@bellevuecollege.edu or wendy.hatheway@bellevuecollege.edu, or go online at /bellevuecollege. edu/parented.
Community members needed for city boards The Mercer Island City Council is seeking applicants to fill one position on the Senior Advisory Board and two positions on the Youth and Family Services Advisory Board. The Senior Advisory Board was established in 2011 to advise the City of Mercer Island Department of Youth and Family Services and Parks and Recreation Department regarding programs and services effecting seniors age 65 and older on Mercer Island. Regular meetings of the Senior Advisory Board are held at least quarterly at a time and place determined by the board. Monthly commitment by board members is approximately one to two hours a month, with the option of more hours on an ad hoc basis. Applicants must be legal residents of Mercer Island and at least 65 years of age. The term for the open position expires on May 31, 2014.
The Youth and Family Services Advisory Board was established in 1973 as an advisory board to the Mercer Island City Council on matters having to do with policy, programs, budget, public relations and fundraising for Youth and Family Services. The board meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Members should be able to commit approximately three hours of time per month to Advisory Board functions. The board is seeking current ninth-grade students to be appointed to two positions that expire on May 31, 2014. Additional information is online at www.mercergov. org/ccbindex.asp.

Paddling teams have raced locally as well as in Taiwan and Canada. Thomas now calls paddling a lifestyle, more than just a workout and an accomplishment outside even her battle with cancer. But to overcome cancer three times took the support of her doctors at Group Health, a very strong family, a really strong belief in God, her strong-willed mind and drive to accomplish, and finally, the support of cancer organizations, she said. She advises anyone who’s been recently diagnosed to get to it early. Thomas had breast screenings because her mother, Irene Taylor, had breast cancer, but survived it. If you have apprehension about a diagnosis, get a second opinion, she says; do research and don’t give up. “A positive attitude is what reigns on the boat,” Thomas said. “It isn’t just cancer society — it’s life. We can do this.” Team Survivor Northwest offers its dragon boat program to women in treatment and survivors of breast cancer for free. For more information, visit www.teamsurvivornw.org.

very week, 100 Western Washington women are diagnosed with breast cancer, which continues to be the second most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S., after skin cancer. We don’t yet know the exact causes of breast cancer, and many myths about breast cancer continue to exist. But probably the best way to prevent and survive a breast cancer diagnosis is to be informed. All women are at risk for breast cancer. Although this disease is more common in women over the age of 40, younger women can and do get breast cancer as well. To reduce risk, here are some things you should know. • If you are over 40 years old, have a mammogram. The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and Susan G. Komen all agree that women age 40 and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years. Early detection is the key to survival. The five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer, when caught early, is 99 percent. When detected at the latest stage, the survival rate drops to 23 percent. • Know what is normal for you. See your health provider right away if you notice a lump, swelling, changes in breast size or a new pain in one spot that does not go away.
• Live a healthy lifestyle. Maintain a healthy weight. Add exercise to your routine. Limit your use of alcohol. Breastfeed, if you can. And, since we live in the Northwest, current studies point to maintaining a normal level of vitamin D as helpful. However, if you fear that you might be at greater risk for breast cancer because your mother or grandmother had the disease, you should know that most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Only five to 10 percent of breast cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. Other common misperceptions about breast cancer risk include underwire bras, abortion, plastics, deodorant use, breast implants, fertility drugs, hair dyes and trauma to the breast. One more thing. If you fear a breast cancer diagnosis is a death sentence, let me tell you that is also not the case. Today, there are nearly 3 million breast cancer survivors living in the US. And I am one of them. If you have ever seen our Race for the Cure Survivor’s Parade, you would see many survivors living happy and full lives 30 years after their diagnosis or longer. Above all, the best advice I can give is to ask you to take an active role in your own breast health. And if you are over 40 years old, and have yet to be been screened for breast cancer, do it today. There is no time to lose.

They knew it was going to be a special year. Loaded with senior talent and an experienced squad, the Mercer Island volleyball team had high expectations. Midway through the season, their expectations appear to be spot on, so far undefeated in league matches, including a win over Mount Si, a longstanding KingCo rival. Last week, the team improved to 8-0 in league and 11-0 overall, the best record in the conference and one of the best in the state. On Tuesday, Oct. 2, the Islanders hosted Lake Washington, winning in three games — 25-15,
25-13, 25-11. Individually, Brooke Behrbaum had seven kills and three blocks, while Kris Brackmann added nine kills during the games. Sara Lindquist had 10 kills and five aces during the win, while senior Kelly Logie

The Juanita Rebels football team earned its second win of the KingCo season, beating Mercer Island on Friday night in a 41-29 game. Mercer Island jumped out to the early lead after several penalty flags on both sides of the ball. Junior Chris Richards ran the ball into the end zone, the extra two points were good, and Mercer Island led 8-0 with 9:39 left in the first quarter. With 3:02 left in the first, Juanita quarterback Tavin Montgomery passed to Kendrick Murphy for a touchdown, trailing 8-7 to the Islanders. Juanita regained possession in the second quarter with less than seven minutes on the clock. Montgomery ended the drive with a touchdown with 4:35 left in the half, giving the Rebels a 14-8 lead. Juanita maintained the lead and the game’s momentum at halftime with the 14-8 score. After the break, Juanita quickly scored when Trayon McNairy scored off a long run over the goal line with 11:18 in the third quarter. The kick was good and Juanita led 21-8. On Mercer Island’s next drive, the ball was intercepted by Juanita at the 34-yard line, but the Rebels failed to convert to points, as would the Islanders on their next turn with the ball. After regaining the ball,
Mercer Island quarterback Brian Higgins fumbled the ball, and Juanita returned it to the 15-yard line with 6:19 left in the third. The Rebels attempted a 17-yard field goal, but the ball went wide. Juanita’s defense continued to stymie the Islanders’ offense, keeping Mercer Island from gaining new points. With 2:18 left in the third, Juanita ran the ball into the end zone, scoring the third unanswered points of the game. The score was 28-8. On the next drive, Mercer Island surged, scoring with just nine seconds left in the third quarter. The score was 28-15. The Islanders continued to fight on defense and offense, battling their way to every first down. The Islanders closed the gap even more, when Higgins scored with 10:02 left in the game to cut the lead to 28-22. But on the kickoff return, Juanita’s Cody Otterholt returned the ball for a touchdown. The score was 34-22. After a
quick return by Mercer Island, Matt Orehek scored with 8:26 left in the game, making it 34-29. Juanita closed the door on the game with just 26 seconds on the clock, as Montgomery pushed his way to score the final points of the night. Mercer Island had 388 yards during the game, while the Rebels posted 479 overall, 339 which came from rushing and 140 from passing. The Islanders continued to show strong passing skills, hitting 327 yards from the throw, with just 61 from rushing. Both teams dealt with a high number of penalties, with Mercer Island giving up 80 yards to the nine flags, while Juanita had 10 penalties for a loss of 86 yards. Both teams also gave up four fumbles, the highest for the Islanders in a game since 2009. The Islanders are 3-1 in KingCo this season and 4-2 overall, sitting in the No. 3 spot in league. Mercer Island will travel to Liberty next Friday night for a 7 p.m. game.

A cardiologist for 20 years, Dr. Fredric Tobis is a longtime Mercer Island resident who founded the Center for Physician Leadership Training. The Reporter sat down with Tobis to discuss his new, self-published book, “The Healthcare Crisis: The Urgent Need for Physician Leadership.” Tobis is the current chairman of Washington state’s Eighth District Health Care Advisory Committee, a Certified Physician Development Coach and a member of the Association of Physician Speakers, Experts, and Consultants. He is married to a physician, Carla Greenbaum, and the couple has four grown children. W h a t prompted you to write this book? What inspired me to write the book was, actually, my kids had friends over for dinner one night and we were sitting around the table and they were discussing health care — and these are very smart young people, yet it was amazing to me how little they knew about what really was going on in health care. One of them said, ‘If you know so much, why don’t you write a book?’
What is the main idea of your book — what is one thing that you hope readers will learn or understand? First, the real crisis in health care is cost. Everything else is secondary … the cost is completely out of control. The second point is the cost of health care is very difficult to control, unless you’re actually inside the system. In other words, regulation from outside, either through government policy or insurance policy, fails — it has been failing for 25 years and it will continue to fail. Physicians need to have good, effective physician leadership. Either we take control of the cost or someone else will. I try to do this in a nonpartisan, objective manner. The point is when you ask politicians to solve your problems, you’re asking people who don’t have the expertise to do it because very few of our politicians are physicians. What are some of your main concerns about the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare? The biggest concern is the independent advisory board that has 15 political appointees deciding what’s quality. The term “quality” is very hard. … It’s dynamic because there’s always new information coming out that affects what the right thing to do is ... most medical care is based on data plus judgment, and there’s a

Dr. Fredric Tobis, an Island resident and cardiologist. lot of judgment involved in analyzing the data. To think that 15 people are going to be deciding on data … is a horrible idea. Second, the cost analysis is completely bogus. There are funds flowing out of Medicare to pay for the Affordable Care Act, and Medicare is already bankrupt. How do you see physicians taking leadership in this crisis? If physicians don’t recognize that the only [alternative] to them controlling costs is to have someone else do it, then someone else is going to do it. And someone else will do it poorly. They need to recognize the importance of physician leadership; they need to realize what the mission is … to promote this kind of culture where you’re going to be able to maintain quality and cut costs at the same time.
What can patients do? By understanding how the current system works, it can give people an insight into the kinds of questions they ought to ask … one has to ask, is this test you’re ordering [necessary] — what are the alternatives? They ought to be more actively engaged with the right information about health care and not believe some of the bromides (sound bytes, distortions, comforting thoughts) that somehow Medicare doesn’t have to change, insurance doesn’t have to change … that’s not going to work. Dr. Tobis’ book is available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
