The unexpected death of 16-year-old Islander Middle School student, Jim Holt, on Feb. 21 represents an intense personal loss for many people across King County. The young man with extreme disabilities who could not speak was loved and cherished and celebrated. By all accounts, from school bus drivers to surgeons to school administrators, teachers, parapros and fellow students, Jim was an integral and even an essential part of their daily lives. Each felt a personal connection to Jim and his family. They referred to themselves as ‘Team Jim.’ Jim had genetic disorder, a trinomial translocation of the lower
part of the 16th and 17th chromosomes. Pregnancies that involve defects of the 16th chromosome usually end in miscarriage. As such, a child with the defect is rare. The babies who do make it usually do not live long. The defects cause severe mental and physical retardation and seizures. For his parents, Kathy Holt and Steve Holt, the fact that their tiny baby boy had extreme medical issues came as a surprise. He arrived on Christmas Day, just two weeks early. But he weighed only four pounds. The doctors at Children’s Hospital told his parents that there was a 90 percent chance that he would not live beyond a year. After a few days in the hospital, they took him home with their older son, Thomas, and learned

how to care for him. From birth, he required 24-hour care. He could only walk a few steps unassisted. He would not eat by mouth and was instead fed every two hours through a gastrointestinal tube. He had a seizure disorder. He had between 20 and 30 a day — some barely noticeable, but others were grand mal seizures that might last several minutes. He could choke or lose consciousness and might require a 911 call. His lungs were compromised and he often developed pneumonia. Jim’s mental ability was that of a 10-month-old, his mother said. He could hear, but it was not certain how much or what he understood from words. He had some vision, but they were not sure how much. But what they were certain about was that he could communicate. He could not speak, but he was vocal, his mother laughed. “He made himself known.” He found a way to communicate, but he did not cry, his mother
A look at the Island real estate market for February offers some evidence that the real estate market here is improving. The number of homes sold is up. The median price of homes sold is up as well. Inventory appears to be tight — good for sellers and prices, but not so much for buyers. A total of just 75 homes and condos were offered for sale on Mercer Island last month, down nearly a third from 114 offered during the same

Jim had gone past the 13-year milestone, his mother said. “He had 10 surgeries, and we thought we were kind of done with the major issues.” He was prone to having pneumonia or similar crises. But she did not expect this. He had not been ill. More than 400 Islanders attended the service for Jim at Mercer Island Presbyterian Church on Feb. 26. The service was lead by Rev. Scott Anderson of St. Andrew in Renton. “I am also a member of ‘Team Jim,’” Rev. Anderson said, adding that Jim was a “gift” to our congregation. “During services, Jim would sometimes have something to say,” Rev. Anderson said, explaining that he would wait for Jim to finish until to continuing. “It was hard sometimes to have Jim, but astonishing, at the same time,” he said. “We needed him as much as he needed us.” This is the first of three stories about Jim Holt.

‘Snoopy citizens’ get personal information There is something wrong with the law when any snoopy citizen can get my personal information from the city just by asking for it. I received the following email from the City of Mercer Island attorney. Hello All,
I am writing to advise you that the city has received two public records requests from Marty Gale and Claus Jensen for a copy of the list of email addresses the city has put together to provide updates regarding the I-90 tolling proposal. Under state law, we must release a copy of the list (which includes just your email address) to the requestors. We will be releasing the list tomorrow. I apologize for this situation and for any unsolicited email you may receive as a result. Please know that the city takes your privacy seriously and wish we were legally able to handle this differently. Very Truly Yours, Katie Knight, City Attorney I consider my personal email private and strongly object that the city is forced by law to give out this information because someone would like to see who is receiving information about the I-90 tolling. There is no possible reason why these people need this information, and I will call them out for what they are. Snoopy busybodies who do not respect the rights of privacy for their neighbors.

October 22, 1939 – February 27, 2013
Bud, as he was known by his family and friends, was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He died peacefully on February 27, 2013. After he received his Business Administration Degree with honors in Winnipeg, the west called to him. Bud lived in Banff, Alberta for a summer driving a tour bus. He loved the west so much he moved to Vancouver, B.C. and never looked back. He said the mountains called to him. His first job was in the temporary help business. He loved it, and was happy when his company relocated him to Seattle, Washington. Bud made his home on Mercer Island, with his loving wife Sandy, whom he met in Vancouver before his move. There they raised two children, Greg and Susan, and started the company Molly Brown Temps. Inc., a temporary staffing company. Molly Brown became a great local business where many friends and family worked. Bud retired in 2006, handing the reins to his son. In Bud’s leisure time he enjoyed sailing and travelling. He loved cruising on his boat the Molly Brown in the San Juan Islands and Desolation Sound. His boating friends would often find him head down in the engine compartment tinkering, which he loved just as much as sailing. He also enjoyed ski vacations, touring Europe, and especially warming his bones in Hawaii. Banff spoke to his soul and he went every chance he got. He is survived by his son, Greg Bjarnason (Stacy), his daughter, Susan Wais (Ken), grand-children, Sarah and Bligh Bjarnason, Greta and Josephine Wais, sister Shirley Syms (Leigh) and his nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his wife, Sandra Bjarnason, mother, Una Bjarnason, and father, Halldor Bjarnason. He will be missed dearly. Bud will be remembered on Wednesday March 13, 2013 at Sunset Hills Funeral Home, 1215 145th Pl SE, Bellevue at 1:30. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association. 751837

Approval will still need to be sought out from the federal government, and — at least currently — implementation is in the hands of WSDOT, but the discussion is all but settled in Olympia. The Legislature will pass an authorization for tolls on I-90, either with my amendments or over my objections. I will, however, do everything within my power to protect my fellow Islanders from the impacts of these tolls — starting with this legislation and continuing with whatever needs to be done.
I believe, like you, that something must be done to mitigate the impact of these tolls.

the same time reducing through traffic. WSDOT would also be empowered to consider other methods of mitigating the impacts of tolling. This would include many of the positive ideas that have come from the Mercer Island community, such as a maximum monthly or annual amount regardless of how often we leave the Island. With proper mitigation for Mercer Island residents, tolling could actually have a positive impact on our community. All of the other drivers who have been using I-90 as a way to avoid 520 tolls will return to using the best route for them — meaning significantly less traffic running through our community every day. The decision to toll I-90 was set in motion in 2009, and reversing course at this stage is unlikely to occur

Islanders don’t know what to believe about tolling | Island Forum By Eva Zemplenyi
Special to the Reporter
In her recent Mercer Island Reporter piece, Representative Judy Clibborn claims concern about the effects that I-90
tolling will have on Mercer Island residents, businesses and employees. However, her expressed concern about the deleterious effects of I-90 tolling on Mercer Island is seriously
undercut by her roll-out of a $10 billion transportation funding package that allocates not a single dime towards SR-520 construction. Instead, a $1.4 billion funding shortfall will be

borne entirely by those travelling on I-90. To decrease that burden, Rep. Clibborn has sponsored HB 1945, outlining possible I-90 toll protection for Island Eva Zemplenyi residents. Yet, the bill only directs WSDOT to “explore options to mitigate any disproportionate impact” of tolling. Presently unknown are where this exploration will lead and whether or not that mitigation will be permanent. Once tolling is established, the same gantries that offer free passage one year can be easily reprogrammed, at the drop of a budgetary shortfall the next year, to collect full fare from all travelers. Furthermore, by appearing to mitigate Mercer Islanders’ I-90 tolling concerns, HB 1945 undermines the need for a full environmental impact study to comprehensively analyze the impacts of tolling I-90 on the entire Puget Sound region and I-90 corridor. Additionally, Rep. Clibborn’s claim that the current tolling plan
involves tolling only the floating section of I-90 is contradicted by a WSDOT presentation in the 2008 SR-520 Tolling Implementation Committee Report, in which segmented tolls, both on the east and west approaches to the Island, are offered as alternatives 3 and 4. Indeed, the current WSDOT website shows three potential gantry sites, including the East Channel Bridge. At the Jan. 7, 2013, Mercer Island City Council meeting, WSDOT’s tolling director, Craig Stone, and Judy Clibborn offered no clarification on the final plans. Unfortunately, users of I-90 do not know what to believe. In her recent Reporter article (March 6, 2013), Rep. Clibborn states, “The decision to toll I-90 was set in motion in 2009…” Yet, in early 2008, Rep. Clibborn sponsored ESHB 3096, which required WSDOT to work with FHWA to determine what steps would be needed to toll the Interstate 90 bridge. Then, in the Seattle Times on March 13, 2009, she declares that tolling I-90 “…isn’t on the table and it won’t be,” since it would be unfair to force drivers using one bridge to pay for something they are not using.
Mercer Island employees, students, residents and all who use I-90, from Seattle to Spokane, are owed the truth. Judy Clibborn’s mitigation proposal is no solution for Mercer Island, just as tolling I-90 is neither an answer for a pervasive shortage of transportation funding or for traffic congestion. Funneling of funds from an existing interstate to fund another project sets no limit on expenditures, establishing a flawed precedent for the entire country. Piecemeal tolling, adding portions of roads to the tolling menu, will increase congestion as drivers shift routes seeking less expensive options. A better solution would be state and regional transportation funding packages that spread costs more broadly, accompanied by trimming unnecessary expenditures. I-90 users must not resign themselves to the unprecedented tolling of an existing interstate highway to fund another project. The decision to toll I-90 may have been set into motion, but we must let our legislators hear that such a precedent is unacceptable. Zemplenyi is the cofounder of notolloni90.org.

Islander’s art collection featured at BAM Billie Jones Moffitt’s collection is on loan for the BAM’s “Maneki Neko: Japan’s Beckoning Cats – From Talisman to Pop Icon� exhibit, which is featured at the museum through August. Moffitt, a Mercer Island High School graduate, donated the collection to the Mingei International
Museum, in San Diego, after 25 years of collecting. Since the early 15th century, a fabricated cat with an upraised paw has been considered a good luck charm in the Japanese culture. The show features a collection of over 150 cats, all made in the 19th and 20th centuries. Moffitt’s parents, Jay and Mary Jayne Jones, still reside on Mercer Island.

A Holy Week primer to prepare for Easter A little boy was asked if he understood the meaning of Easter.

Holy Week seems a bit like the movie “Groundhog Day.� Every year, Christians observe the same thing. Palm Sunday. Maundy Thursday. Good Friday. Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday.

Island House residents dance on the shore in video Seniors from 56 communities across US, including Mercer Island, are featured in 20th anniversary video By Reporter Staff
Island House residents have a few seconds of fame in Merrill Gardens’ 20th anniversary video. Residents from each of the company’s 56 senior living communities in nine states are featured. The video, produced to highlight each community’s unique characteristics, shows the seniors “dancing into the future.” Island House seniors are shown dancing at Fruitland Landing on Mercer Island at 3:29 minutes. The video’s background music is by internationally acclaimed composer Gary Schyman, whose music was used in the “Where is Matt” videos that featured Seattle resident Matt Harding
“The Homeguy”
dancing all over the world. Each Merrill Gardens community was given a video camera and asked to submit a unique contribution in the form of a short video clip that was then edited into the final five-minute video montage. Residents and team members are seen dancing in various locations around the country. Merrill Gardens began operations with one community in Seattle in 1993. Now more than 8,000 seniors reside at the 56 locations in nine states. Merrill Gardens has over 2,700 team members and many of them are also featured in the 20th anniversary video. One of the top owner/ operators of assisted living retirement communities in the country, the family-owned private company, based in Seattle, has been named the ‘Family Business of the Year’ three times in the past 10 years by the Family Business Institute.

Visiting Zillah and Portteus Winery The series on Mercer High School graduates who became winemakers continues with Paul and Marilyn Portteus, owners of Portteus Winery, one of the pioneer wineries in Washington state. There were only 14 wineries in the state when they began in 1981. Now there are over 600. Not only are they pioneer winemakers, Paul and Marilyn are Mercer Island pioneers. As a young boy, Paul delivered the Seattle Times on the southeast end of the Island and frequented hydroplane driver Bill Muncey’s Thriftway before it became the South end QFC. Both Paul and Marilyn attended Mercer Island schools from kindergarten. In first grade, Paul and Marilyn had a reading class together. Paul graduated in 1967; On Wine Marilyn, in 1966. They both moved onto the Island around 1952. Paul’s parents bought a former gov- Dee Hitch ernor’s summer home on East Mercer Way. Paul’s parents still live there. Marilyn Dehn’s family first lived in Shorewood and then moved to Lansdowne Lane. Marilyn’s dad came to Washington state to work on the B52 for Boeing; he later worked on the 747. Both of Marilyn’s parents have died. “I grew up with wine on the table,” said Paul. “My father was introduced to wine in Belgium during World War II. In fact, there

Portteus Winery, located near Zillah, Wash., is run by Mercer Island natives Paul and Marilyn Portteus. was a Reporter article a few years ago about my father’s service in Belgium. He marched well into his 80s with fellow soldiers, commemorating the Battle of the Bulge. “In addition, my Uncle Howard made beer and wine in his basement. Our families would join for Sunday suppers and enjoy his cellar endeavors,” he said. When Paul was at Camp Orkila, he received postcards from his folks, who were vacationing in Napa Valley in 1961. Paul still has those postcards. “In 1968 I left home and bought a houseboat on Northlake Way. Being underage and entertaining a lot, I set up a home brewery to supply my guests’ needs. In 1970 after my junior year at the University of Washington, I took one of the UW’s charter flights to Europe and spent four months on a motorcycle from London to Spain to Norway, ending in Amsterdam. I visited all the wine regions as well as testing the local beers. I bought Bordeaux in France for 13 cents a bottle and wine in Spain was 10 cents. Imagine that!” For his 21st birthday, Paul received a suitcase full of wine from his parents. There were 21 splits of wine of various vintages from California and France. “In the early ’70s, I made trips to visit friends in southern California, always stopping in Napa and Sonoma along the way,” said Paul. “So I guess wine was in my
blood!” Marilyn Dehn became Marilyn Portteus in 1973, and the newly weds continued visiting Napa and Sonoma, buying wine and enjoying the vineyards and the wine country. “By 1977 we shifted our interest in wine to searching for an opportunity to join the wine industry. After reading reports in Seattle newspapers on pioneering wine growing in our own Washington state, we changed our search from California to Eastern Washington,” Paul said. “We found the perfect vineyard site in the hills above the town of Zillah after a year’s research. We now have 74 estate acres of grapes and produce around 11,000 cases of wines, mostly reds.” They grow zinfandel, sangiovese, syrah, petite sirah, cabernet franc, malbec, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. All Portteus wines are estate-bottled. Approximately 20 percent of the harvest is sold to other wineries. Paul was once named one of America’s Great Cabernet Producers by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. The Rattlesnake Hills, where Paul and Marilyn planted their first grapes, was authorized as an official American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 2006. Seth and David, Paul and Marilyn’s sons, have joined the winemaking team. The winery is open for tastings seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. It is located in Zillah at 5201 Highland Drive and can be reached at (509) 829-
6970 or winery@portteus. com. Other Mercer Island High School graduates who have become winemakers and/or winery owners are: • Chris Howell, winemaker, Cain Vineyard and Winery of Napa Valley, class of 1970. • Craig Leuthold, winery owner, Maryhill Winery in Goldendale, class of 1974. • Leslie Lind Balsley, winemaker and owner, William Church Winery in Woodinville, class of 1976. • Andrew Lodmell, winemaker and owner of Lodmell Cellars in Walla Walla, class of 1982. • Nina Buty Foster, winemaker and owner of Buty Winery in Walla Walla, class of 1993. • Anna Shafer, winemaker and owner of aMaurice Cellars in Walla Walla, class of 1997.

Islander students compete in Destination ImagiNation competition By Suzanne Lusnia
Special to the Reporter
Ten teams of students from West Mercer Elementary, Islander Middle School and Mercer Island High School competed in the Seattle Area Regional Destination ImagiNation Tournament on March 2 in Issaquah. Each team had worked together since last fall in preparation for this competition, with the guidance of West Mercer teachers, Mr. Headlee and Mr. Reyes. At the tournament, teams competed in multiple varied challenges utilizing the core principles of the program, which are creativity, teamwork and problem-solving. Six teams placed in the tournament, and the four first-place teams will continue on to compete in the State Tournament and represent the Seattle
Metro Area on April 6 in Wenatchee. Teams winning that competition will move on to the Global Tournament, held in Knoxville, Tenn., during May.

The Mercer Island High School boys soccer captains this season are Josh Lee, Nate Umlauf and Sam Miller. Coach: Colin Rigby Number of athletes: 75 Last season: The Islanders advanced to the 3A state championship game against Bainbridge, taking second in state overall. Strengths: “Midfield,” said new head coach Colin Rigby. “We have a very strong defensive midfield presence that will help give us a solid foundation through the midfield. We also have some very creative players that will provide some dangerous opportunities against our
opponents.” Focus: “Chemistry,” said Rigby. “After losing 11 seniors, we have brought in a relatively new cast of players that need to perform. Team building is something very important with such a short season, and it’s always important to get the guys on the same path from the beginning.” Captains: Josh Lee, Nate Umlauf and Sam Miller. Game to watch: Sammamish, Mount Si, Liberty and Bellevue.
“I think this is one of the strongest leagues in the state,” said the coach. “Sammamish, Mount Si, Liberty will all have very talented teams. We will play two of those three during spring break, which will be a challenge.” Special note: The team plans to honor former head coach Steve Newman, who passed away last year, during one of the team’s home games in April.
