After a turnout of less than two dozen people at last year’s Town Hall, the 41st district’s Sen. Steve Litzow, Rep. Judy Clibborn and Rep. Tana Senn faced a packed house at Saturday’s meeting at Somerset Elementary in Bellevue. Many people signed up to ask questions – about transportation, vaccinations, taxes on carbon and capital gains and gender pay equality – but most in the crowd wanted to hear about one topic: education.

After selecting nine “liaison group” members and 42 stakeholders, the city continued its Town Center engagement strategy with a series of meetings open to and specifically geared toward the general public. The city decided to revise its Town Center code last year, and hired Seth Harry and Associates to lead the urban planning work and local firm 3 Square Blocks to be the community engagement consultants and primary authors of the new design guidelines. Since then, community interest in the project has increased, along with concerns about new

41ST | FROM 1 Litzow-sponsored bill (SB 5748) to mandate use of student test scores in teacher evaluations. WEA representatives say it’s a “bad bill,” but Litzow said he “agrees to disagree.” SB 5748 would bring back $40 million from a No Child Left Behind Waiver and help 485,000 vulnerable children, Litzow said. Stephen Miller, vice president of the WEA, said that test scores have been proven to be an ineffective way to evaluate teachers, and that following through on 1351 would satisfy McCleary, as one of its eight mandates is to reduce class size. Constituents also wanted to hear about plans to improve transportation. Litzow co-sponsored a $15 billion transportation package, which recently passed the state Senate, to

improve I-405, I-90 and SR-520, maintain existing infrastructure statewide and address multi-modal needs in King County. “There’s something in it everybody can hate and something in it everybody can love,” Litzow said. “We in the 41st district live literally in the heart of it.” The package includes an 11.7 cents per gallon gas tax increase, provides a funding option for Sound Transit 3 and doesn’t allow for tolling of I-90. “There will be no tolling as long as I am there,” said Clibborn, who chairs the House Transportation Committee and will hear the House version of the package later this month. Tolling may be off the table, but Senn said “increased revenue is on the table for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” voicing her support of a capital gains tax and cap-and-trade

on carbon emissions. Litzow said he is “not a fan” of cap-and-trade and would prefer a simple carbon tax until Washington’s regressive tax code can be rewritten. Clibborn said she doesn’t understand how cap-andtrade would work without trickling down and affecting consumers. “We are the polluters, we’re driving cars, we’re the ones who will pay,” she said. Senn said that “we cannot wait to simply redo our tax system.” “Maybe we will, and that would be amazing and I would be very supportive of that. In the meantime, we need to fund education and pass a transportation package … and make our tax code less unfair,” she said.

Record-breaking rain for region
Metro fares up a quarter
Last Sunday was the wettest day for the greater Seattle area in six years. Nearly three inches of rain fell last weekend. The 2.85 inches of rain set off some local flooding,at least one landslide reported in Mercer Island, and in Bellevue, caused an overflow at the city’s Sweyolocken waste water pump station near the Mercer Slough. The Seattle area had 2.16 inches of rain Sunday, March 15, setting a new record for rain for the date. And according to NOAA data from Sea-Tac airport, it is the second wettest day in March since 1945, when the agency began recording weather data. The last day it was this wet was Jan. 7, 2009, when 2.29 inches fell in one day. The winds blew sporadically, ranging from 16 mph on Saturday morning to 36 mph on Sunday evening.
Most King County Metro Transit riders are paying a bit more to ride the bus as of March 1. The fare change will apply to adults, youth, seniors and people with disabilities who use regularly transit services. This is Metro’s first fare increase since 2011.

Plans to meet McCleary to be revealed March 23
What happens if Legislature does not meet McCleary funding mandate
New Olympia political drama debuts March 23 when legislators reveal basic education budgets
To meet the court-ordered mandate, the State Legislature must establish: • Full, ample funding by 2017-2018 biennium: $5.4 billion (addition to current budget) • Per pupil funding: $12,700 (an increase of $5,400 from 2013-2014) • Students served: 1 million On Sept. 11, 2014 the Supreme Court unanimously found the State in contempt of its orders to meet the constitutional obligation to fully and amply fund the state’s K-12 education system. The Court warned that if that failure did not end by the 2015 Legislature’s adjournment it would reconvene and impose sanctions or other remedial measures. The Court did not say what those sanctions would be, but its prior order told the parties that it was considering these types of sanctions that courts across the country have employed to pressure elected officials to comply with court rulings and constitutional rights: The court may: 1. Impose monetary or other contempt sanctions. 2. Prohibit expenditures on specific non-paramount programs until the court orders are obeyed. 3. Order specific amounts or remedies—fines, jail, others. 4. Sell surplus state property. 5. Invalidate prior education funding cuts. 6. Prohibit continued operation of an unconstitutional education system. 7. Order any other appropriate relief. . . . . . invalidate all State tax exemptions to provide the revenue the Legislature claims it lacks, leaving legislators to re-enact whatever exemptions they want after the State amply funds its K-12 schools.

WNPA Olympia News Bureau
A political thriller earns its debut March 23 at Olympia’s marble palladium when the Legislature’s leading producers-directors—Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, and Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina—take the stage to introduce their awaited and unreviewed drama they claim will keep their fellow political thespians out of jail and solve the constitutional quandary
hovering over them: full funding for basic K-12 education. The Washington State Supreme Court is holding those political actors accountable for a solution to its mandate issued last fall in the wake of unyielding inaction by the legislative body: fund education or be sentenced for contempt. Hunter, who serves as House Appropriations Committee chairman, said the Legislature has to fund education in a way that eliminates the state’s dependence on local levies for basic education costs. “We have about a $2.5 billion obligation and I think we should fund it in equal annual increments,” Hunter said. “While the governor’s budget is clever, it’s not a good strategy for implementation on the ground.”
Gov. Jay Inslee rolled out his budget for the 2015-2017 biennium last December, including a $3.6 billion education package, where he dedicates $1.3 billion for class-size reduction in K-3 and all-day kindergarten. Hunter says he’s not fond of the governor’s education proposal because it would prioritize class-size reductions in grades K-3 for lowincome school districts, within the second year of this biennium and in doing so would overwhelm those schools with too many new teachers they would need to hire. Instead, Hunter recommends a statewide class-size reduction in grades K-3, rather than a sudden reduction in class size only for low-income school districts. “We need to phase in spending in a way that let’s

people hire teachers gradually so you don’t wind up with a school having a huge number of new teachers at once,” he said. Hill, who leads the Senate Ways and Means Committee, agrees that the governor’s education budget phases in reforms too fast. “I would argue that funding everything today this year is a huge shock to the state budget and the school districts because they would have to hire more teachers and put in new classrooms,” he said. “That’s good reason why you would phase this in over the next three years.” Hill says it’s difficult to pinpoint a dollar amount needed to comply with the McCleary mandate because the number fluctuates depending on the interest group you talk to and programs included in the calculation.

Water safety update due Rates will increase to pay for upgrades, more monitoring By Katie Metzger
kmetzger@mi-reporter.com
Last week, residents received a letter from the city regarding progress made in strengthening and improving the Island’s potable water delivery system since the E. coli contamination and boil-water advisories last fall. The city was supposed to provide an update on the response to the water situation at the Council meeting on March 16, but

The city responded by enacting a four-month moratorium and approving a Town Center engagement strategy in February that involves many public outreach sessions. “Getting people to talk, even heatedly, about the Town Center at the same time that we were already about to begin a public
that was pushed back in the planning schedule to March 30 to finish up the discussion on the moratorium in Town Center. Since the boil water advisories, city crews have maintained elevated chlorine levels throughout the water system, as strongly recommended by the state Department of Health (DOH), while continuing to search in every direction for the cause of the contamination. The root cause has not yet been identified. Soon, crews will be building nine new monitoring stations — in addition to the city’s existing

The sessions last week were facilitated by Julia Walton of 3 Square Blocks, who asked residents what types of public spaces, parking options, streetscapes, and retail they would like to see in their Town Center. The input received during the public meetings will be distilled, analyzed and considered during the

Staff will also be contacting households with plumbing connections, such as yard irrigation or fire sprinklers, that could potentially allow dirty water to enter the clean side of the system. Any cross-connection with the city’s water system represents a potential pathway for contamination. Staff is scheduled to present a cross-connection control program code update to the Council on May 4. Mercer Island’s crossconnection control pro-

Rain a factor in landslide By Katie Metzger
kmetzger@mi-reporter.com
Neighbors on S.E. 46th Street felt what they thought was an earthquake at about 1 a.m. on Monday morning. It turned out to be a 200-foot landslide that took out a chunk of their private road. The 45 homeowners who live on the street, near East Mercer Way, will have to pay about $1,200 each to fix the damage. Chad Griffin, of Griffin Foundation Repair, said that he was surprised to find that none of the homes had been damaged, and that the heavy rains over the weekend are the probable cause of the landslide. He had been working tise and public opinion. The stakeholders met on March 11 and will meet on March 20-21, April 21 and May 5. The Town Center Liaison Group’s primary responsibility is to serve as a liaison between the public and the City Council, city staff and outside consultants to ensure that the public receives sufficient information and ample opportunity to provide public input. They met on March 3 and March 17, and will meet on March 24, April 14, April 22, May 5 and May 21. In all, the Community Engagement Plan will feature 17 formal meetings (Town Center Liaison Group, Stakeholder Group, a two-day workshop and

One neighbor said she asked the others to chip in, and that the landslide could have been avoided for a cost of about $750 per neighbor, per contractor and geotechnical engineering estimates. “The conditions have been getting worse over the past six months,” Griffin said. “We were supposed to meet to review the project today … The job has definitely changed.”

From the city’s biennial budget, $75,000 has already been dedicated to the Town Center code revision and economic development efforts. Seth Harry and Associates proposed budget is $83,530 and 3 Square Blocks’ proposed budget is $43,080, for a total of $126,610. A budget appropriation of $51,610, which will come from 2014 General Fund surplus, is needed. The Council discussed this budget authorization at its March 16 meeting, after the Reporter deadline.

Business briefs Six Walls hosts grand re-opening in new location Reporter Staff
Six Walls showed off its new location at a grand opening event on the evening of March 12, with clients, designers and guests enjoying a photo booth, wine tasting and food cooked and served in the display kitchens. Six Walls, a residential design firm, needed an
expanded studio to showcase kitchen and bath cabinetry, countertop materials and lighting and plumbing fixtures. It's “an environment displaying color, texture, style, pattern all to inspire collaboration with our clients,” and features brands that no one else in the Pacific Northwest does, like German cabinet company Poggenpohl. Six Walls is celebrating its 11th year in business on Mercer Island. It first operated out of a space in Tabit Square, and focused
on retail, furnishing and decor. It then moved to the 77 Central building and is now in The Mercer. The larger location, right across the street, provides more office and showroom space. Its team of eight designers offer services like kitchen and bath remodel, paint consultations and staging to clients, most of whom live on the Island. “This is our third location on Mercer Island, and all three have been no more than a block from each other,” said Joe Belcher, marketing consultant for Six Walls. “It’s been really great being on Mercer Island for so long.”

Island-based realtor JayMarc hosted a grand opening for its “Modern Collection” of new homes on March 14 and 15. Neighbors have expressed concern that the somewhat homogeneous homes may change the eclectic quality of the neighborhood. But with prices in the $2.2 million to $2.7 million range, the effect on property values in the area is likely to be a positive one. The large lot on which the homes sit was formerly owned by the city’s water utility. Neighbors protested a proposal to build affordable housing there after the lot was sold, and hoped it could be made into a park, according to Reporter archives. In 2013, JayMarc applied to subdivide the 30,668 square foot lot into three short plats.

JayMarc’s modern homes on 74th Avenue opened over the weekend. The Seoul (right) and the Taipei (middle) are currently on the market. The Singapore (left) is still under construction and should be finished in three or four weeks. The homes — with designs called the Singapore, the Taipei and the Seoul — are located on First Hill at the corner of 74th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 32nd Street. The homes are more than 3,500 square feet each with at least four bedrooms and bathrooms. “We saw over 100 people come through ... and heard many positive responses about (the homes),” said Adrienne Buxbaum, marketing assistant at JayMarc. The homes “provide a contemporary aesthetic while embodying a comfortable living atmosphere”
with open floor plans and views of Bellevue, according to JayMarc’s website. JayMarc is owned by two Islanders, Jay Mezistrano and Marc Rousso. They are working on 35 projects in Bellvue and Mercer Island. For more information, go to jaymarchomes.com. According to Zillow, mortgage interest rates (as of March 16) for a $1 million home on Mercer Island, with 20 percent down, range between 4.006 percent for a 30-year fixed rate to 3 percent for an adjustable rate mortgage.

Mercer Island School District administrator Todd Kelsay said the committee was in the second phase of its threephase plan to explore the implications of changing to later start times. The first phase consisted of gathering information about teenage sleep times and its relation to student performance. Kelsay said the second phase entailed outreach with internal stakeholders, being students and school staff. Kelsay said the committee has looked at the possibility of regularly starting later than 8 a.m., either 8:15 or 8:30, or having one late start day on Wednesday. Instead of early dismissal, students would start at 8:55 with a final bell at 3 p.m. He said there’s been very little disagreement among the committee that sleep-
and Island Park will come from the geographic boundary of the new school. Aimee BatlinerGillette, who will be principal at Elementary No. 4, will also participate. The committee will be formed by April 3. “We hope to have a set of names, hopefully three, for you to consider at your retreat June 23,” Plano told the board.
ing later into the morning for teens and adolescents is a good thing. “There happens to be some sweet spots with the data that suggest at 8:30 a.m., you see higher attendance, better test scores and all the things that we would love to see,” Kelsay said. Next, the committee will begin community outreach outside of the high school through focus group discussions and parent surveys. “It’s our goal in the May or June timeframe to be able to provide a recommendation,” Kelsay said.
Groundbreaking at IMS is March 27 A groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion project at Islander Middle School will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, March 27.

Running for a cause | Mercer Island Half this weekend By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
Runners, take your mark. This weekend, the 43rd annual Mercer Island Half will send thousands of runners and walkers across the Island, competing in events ranging from the half marathon run/ walk, the 10K run, the 5K run/walk, and the half-mile Kids’ Dash. The event serves as a fundraiser for colon cancer prevention and other charities sponsored by the Mercer Island Rotary Club. Assistant race director Dawn Naye, who will be working her sixth race, will also be competing for the first time in the half marathon. She said the event raised $10,000 for Swedish patients fighting cancer and another $90,000 for Rotary charities last year.
“I see it as a community event where we partner with a lot of local businesses to make this a showcase run for Mercer Island,” she said. “It kind of launches run season for all major runs in the Seattle area.” Naye said registration numbers were down a bit from last year’s record turnout of 5,000 participants. As of last week, just over 3,000 runners and walkers were registered, and she didn’t expect to match last year’s turnout numbers this weekend. Event organizers have once again partnered with Sound Transit. Those traveling to Mercer Island to compete in the races should show their race bib and will get to and from Mercer Island for free. Naye said parking lots throughout Mercer Island have been secured, and shuttle buses will be available to transport people to the
community center. “It’s always a great community event,” Naye said. “We’ll have 350 volunteers from Mercer Island.” The 2015 Mercer Island Half will begin Sunday, March 22, with day-of-event registration at 6:30 a.m. Runners can pick up race bibs and registration materials at the Pre-Race Expo Saturday, March 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Mercer Island Community and Event Center gym. The West Mercer Way exit going eastbound on I-90 will close from 7:45 a.m. to noon. Islanders should plan for road closures and traffic delays Sunday morning, and are suggested to use Island Crest Way as the primary roadway. For more information, visit mercerislandhalf.com.

Mercer Island scores five late goals to surge past Cardinals
Turnout doubles from last year

Scoring five goals in the final period of their season opener, Mercer Island boys lacrosse pulled away late to turn an otherwise close affair with Seattle Academy into a 12-7 win Friday night at Islander Stadium. It was a timely scoring run for the Islanders, who were clinging to a singlegoal lead after three quarters of play. “We just out-endured them,” Mercer Island coach Ian O’Hearn said. “We slowly chipped away and they never took the lead.”

When badminton coach Roy Newton saw the turnout for his girls badminton team this year, nearly double from last season, one question came to mind: how will they have practice with so many players? In its fourth year at Mercer Island High School, 65 girls turned out for badminton, well above last year’s turnout of 34. That’s a lot of players to share a limited amount of court space in a no-cut club sport.
It’s a good problem to have for the up-and-coming program, which is aiming to get more competitive. “How we break this team up is a big question,” Newton said. “We’ll be watching these girls play and figure out who’s going to be our number-one players and who’s going to be our exhibition players and then maybe have a C group where they’ll play within house. We’re trying to figure that all out.” Dividing its athletes in groups of ranked and exhibition players, the Islanders field six singles players and

Island ahead 7-6 heading into the final period. Mercer Island managed to put the game away in the fourth, scoring the first four of its five goals in the quarter unanswered. Johnny Van der Velden had five goals and two assists to lead Mercer Island, while Condon had four goals and an assist, and Brett Bottomley had two goals and two assists.
Scott Lee, getting the starting nod in goal, had five saves for the Islanders. Mercer Island outshot Seattle Academy 50-33 and won the ground ball game 22-17. While it was maybe a closer match than he would’ve liked to see, O’Hearn said the Islanders were merely getting back into game-shape. “We hit five pipes, that’s
BADMINTON | FROM 10 four doubles teams at its meets, taken from its squad of ranked players. Exhibition players, similar to a junior varsity squad, compete afterwards. The Islanders compete in a KingCo division that features nine teams, which consists of mostly Eastside schools. The division originated within the Bellevue School District, with teams from Bellevue, Interlake, Sammamish and Newport originally competing amongst each other. Team wins weren’t frequent last year, but that’s not the program’s sole focus. Though this year, Newton said he’s asking his team to raise its level of competition while trying to maintain the congenial atmosphere of a no-cut sport. “We’ve raised the intensity this year. We’re really asking them to step up competitively, but we’re still a sport where a lot of girls come out that aren’t as athletic and they just want a chance to play a sport and not be cut from it,” Newton said. “We don’t want it to be overly competitive. I want it to be an inviting sport

It’s just us in early season form, shaking off the rust and trying to dial it in.” Mercer Island took on Bothell Tuesday, March 17 after the Reporter deadline. The Islanders face Tahoma at 8 p.m. Friday, March 20 at Tahoma High School.

Chandler said one of the things she liked most about playing badminton was she could immediately see results from putting in hard work. “This sport is fun because you can move up really easily,” she said. “You can improve and become a ranked player in the season easily if you work hard, so it’s not like everyone is set in their squad.” Chandler said one of her goals for this year’s team would be to make it through the early rounds of their postseason tournament, which was echoed by her coach. “I wouldn’t mind getting a couple more wins, we’d all like that,” Newton said. “But my goal for them is to raise their game, just raise their competitive level and from there, hopefully we’ll get some wins.”
MI 8th grade girls select wins PSTL title
Redmond tops Islanders in soccer opener Getting two second-half goals from sophomore forward Jacob Ferry, Redmond beat Mercer Island in their season opener Saturday, March 14 at Islander Stadium. Ryan Hill gave the Islanders a 1-0 lead with a goal in the 16th minute, but Pablo Gallo Arias answered for the Mustangs with seven minutes left in the first half to tie the game at the break. Ferry struck just before the 70th minute and again with 15 minutes to go to give Redmond the win. Next, the Islanders will take on Skyline at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 20 at Skyline High School.
The Mercer Island 8th grade girls select basketball team had a successful finish to their season with three victories and a championship in the Silver Division of the Puget Sound Travel League (PSTL) season-ending tournament, which took place the weekend of March 7-8.

It was Ken whose love for my family and our community, resulted in a partnership between our church and the Mercer Island Rotary Club. While sharing communion at St. Arbucks one day, I indicated my daughter was planning to compete in the Rotary Half Marathon the third Sunday in March. I told him as a Rotarian, I wished I could participate as well. But there was a hurdle. The event was on Sunday. It was Ken who prompted me to consider canceling our morning church services.

Five years later, Evergreen Covenant continues to cancel morning services the day of the Half Marathon. And Ken Lottis is the reason. When I serve as a course marshal at this year’s event, I will give thanks for my friend as the runners pass. I’ll be grateful his painful earthly race is over. I will also be thankful that Lent’s finish line is a day that promises death’s victory has been called into question. Greg Asimakoupoulos is the chaplain at Covenant Shores.
